MORTALITY IN PARIS.—The Report of the COu -n e" of health for 1823 is published, and the following is e ‘ ttract from it relative to pulmonary consumption, the ri - Pox, suicides, and the mortality in Paris. According to 1 . 1 1 Report, in spite of the efforts anti the cares of the most en tiilnt,oned medical men of Europe, the fifth part of the popula- AO' carried 4'4 pulmonary consumption. The number of I "'urea who have died from the small-pox were, in 1820, 41 ; 1 821, 112 ; 1822, 13G; and in 1823, increased to GOO. The 4 ,&ber of suicides has increased within the last five Tears. In . 1 7 4 thirteen years preceding 1822, the number was 2,464 ; and it 4 „, 41 M0S for the five years from 1819 to 1823. The drowned than to 288 in 1823, being more than In 1822, and less el the In 1821 ; of these, however, 80 have been taken alive out we water, or have afterwards been restored to life. The iZollt curious circumstance however, is the difference of morta pP in the different arrondissements of Paris. In the first arron -setnent, consisting of the Quarticrs Feydeau, de la Chausees Amin, du Palaits Royal, and of the Faubourg Mont-I%lartre, "re dies annually only one in 55, whilst in the Bth arrondisse oo.ntalnlng the Q uart i ers d es Q u i nze Vin g is , du M a r a is tie Poptncourt, et du Faubourg Saint Antoine, the annual mortality is one in 38 .—(.1Uternal des Debuts.

[This Gentleman has addressed the following letter to the Editor of The Morning Post, in con sequence of some remarks which appeared in that Paper respecting a Latin Inscription which the Baronet had inscribed over the image of his favourite Dog. The ingenuous frankness and good humour of the Worthy Baronet, manifested in this letter, strongly support the general opi nion that his moral qualities correspond with his great intellectual powers.] Stu—.As I am a friend to truth, even in trifles, I cannot con sent to shelter myself under the classical mantle which M. LIONET. BERGUEII, and some unknown friend, have chosen to extend in their charity over my faults in prosody. The two lines were written in mere whim, and without the least inten tion of their being made public. In the first line, the word :aces is a mistake of the transcriber (whoever took that trouble) ; the phrase is durmi: which I believe is good prosody. The error in the second line, ad . januam, certainly exists, and I bow to the castigation. I must plead the same apology which was used by the great Dr. JOHNSON, when he misinterpreted veterinary phrase of ordinary occurrence—ignorance—pure ig norance was the cause of my blunder. Forty years ago, longs and shorts were little attended to in Scottish education, and I have, it appears, forgot the little I may then have learned. 1 have only to add, that I am far from undervaluing any branch of scholarship, because I have, not the good fortune to possess it, and heartily wish that those who succeed us may have the benefit of a more accurate classical education than was common in my earlier days. The inscription cannot 120 W be altered; but if it remains a memorial of my want of learning, it shall not in addition con vey any imputation on my candour. I should have been ashamed, at a more stirring time, to ask admission for this plea of guilty; but at present you may think it worth a place in your Paper.

ANN'S WATCH...IIOMR, BLACK FRIARS.—About two o'clock this morning this watch-house was discovered to be in flames by some of the firemen of the Royal Exchange, who were on duty in the vicinity guarding the ruins of the premises of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co.— Raspberry, °Deaf the firemen, procured the keys, and rushing in, found the fire to proceed from a quantity of furniture and goods, which were de posited there on the previous night for safety. With considerable exertion and difficulty, after deluging the place with water, the flames were completely subdued, having destroyed th e lock up rooms and some trilling articles of furniture. SUICIDE. —Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Belle Sauvage Inn, Ludgate-hill, on the body of Mr. W. T. Lloyd, the particulars of whose death were men ; tioned in our paper of yesterday. The waiter at the inn, and several other persons, said they had observed the decease d w as ' very melancholy and low spirited (luring the time he resided there, and that he appeared to them not in a right state of mind. The jury, after hearing evidence to the above effect ' re turned a verdict of--" Insanity." The deceased was formerly a schoolmaster at Reading. DARING ROBBERY. —Henry Jones, a well known character, was this day brought up to Bow-street Office, charged with attempting to pick the pocket of a gentleman in the Strand, under circumstances of a particularly daring na ture. The prisoner is well known as the asso ciate of a daring gang, who, notwithstanding th e effective Police on the different stations in town, yet carry on their depredations. The gentleman, it appeared, had stopped to inspect some plates at a house in the Strand, when he became the ob ject of attention on the part of the gang, one of whom, aided by his associates as a species of cover, went up and delibera tel y possessed him self of a valuable silk handkerchief and a snuff box, which be contrived, though seen in the act, to pass away. The rest of the gang eflected their escape. The prisoner was committed. FASHIONABLE ARRIVAI,.. Lord and Lady William Bentinck, from the.

Among the numerous gratifying manifestation' of a revival of national feeling in Scotland, we are happy to have it in our power to notice the improvements at present in progress on the venerable Palace of Falkland, once the favourite hunting seat of our ancient Scottish Sovereigns.— We mentioned on a former occasion, that JOHN BIttICS, Esquire, hail purchased the valuable e state of Falk land, and that great alterations had been subsequently made on the grounds immediately adjacent, and apperurn ing to the Royal Palace. In adOition, it is highly g, tai to have to state, that the Palace itself is undergoing a complete and thorough repair, the sole expense of which has hitherto been defrayed by the patriotic proprietor alluded to. — Those parts which were still covered in, have received a new roof, and those which have been long unroofed, to the serious in jury of the interior, are about to be similarly protected. The new roofs are to correspond as nearly as possible with those which have fallen a prey to Time, in order to preserve the venerable • appearance of the Palace. All the decayed stones through the whole extent of the building, have been reinosed, and new ones substituted; while the numerous crevices arising from the crumbling of the mortar round the external joints have been filled up with cement of a dark colour, imitative of the hoari ness of antiquity. Too much praise cannot b . s rendered to Mr. Bruce, either in regard to the motives by which he has been ac tuated in causing these repairs, or the manner in which they have hitherto been conducted. We would only recommend that the court of the Palace, instead of being, as at present, laid out as a place for rearing that truly national plant, celebrated in " The Karr. Brose o' Auld Scotland," should be converted into a ver dant lawn ; and that the turret upon the north-west corner of the e intern ruins, should not be degraded into a dove-cot. From what has already been done, and is at present in progress, un d.a. the auspices of the venerable and patriotic heritable keeper of this interesting ruin, we are confident that it is only uecessary to point out th ese incongruities in order to insure their speedy removal. We would also strongly recommend the propriety of purchasing the small property situated immediately to the west of the Palace, of removing the houses at present erected there. on and including it within the precincts of the palace-gardens. "'ere this done, the Palace might be properly enclosed.— We trust it is not f ore i gn to our p ur p ose , while advert. gof one of the most interesting of our Scottish ruins, to express our surprise that our illustrious countryman, the G eat Unknown Author of W aver l e y, w hil e h e h a s been reu.lering almost every province of our beloved Scotland classic ground, should never ha ve t h oug h t proper to di rect his attention (and we may add that o f t h e lit erar y an d fashion able world,) to - this favourite abode of our ancient Sovereigns pi7:::,rieterisestatiinnotg7nr all atilotdnrbseel:,lie,rieNcTimsp:teoutlhuiassilil,us —nay, that " the .

This FOOTE ANn M. TrAywE.—We. copied tt paragraph yesterday from a Sunday Paper relating to this in. teresting young Lady, and the substance of which as it regards her, we have authority to state, is entirely without foundation. The friends of this young Lady are very desirous that no erro neous impressions should be formed to her prejudice, growing out of the calumny of her opposers; they are entreated to watt patiently the result of a trial, which will not be delayed beyond this Term.—( Morning Post. ) Jolty Wmacs was once asked by a Rotnan Catholic gentleman, in a warm dispute upon relifilon, " Where was your religion before Luther ?" " Did you wash your face this morning ?" inquired the facetious Alderman. " I did, Sir." " Then, pray where was your face before it was washed ?" Some weeks ago, an old man died in Paisley, who had for several years received a small weekly allowance from the session funds. lie was a man of excellent character, of regular and orderly habits in all his personal and household so much so, that his small dwelling ex c ited a d. a n rra dta n t g io e tT nt o e ne s ntering it by the attention which seemed evidently to have been paid to keep . every thing in its proper place. As the result of this systematic care, he was able, In testimony of his gratitude to the session, to leave them forty guineas. Besides this sum, he had also neatly wrapped up by itself a. sum which he considered sufficient to defray his funeral expences. Ilia furniture anti books he also bequeathed to the session—his li brary consisted of about one hundred volumes, chiefly of valued and standard works upon divinity, Ruches the works of lioston, Erskine, Flavel, &c. &c. lie has left no relations nearer than cousins, but his funeral was numerously and respectably at. tended by many who esteemed hint for his piety and worth. Though he died in the character of a pauper, he deserves to be esteemed us a benefactor of the poor, having repaid in an honourable way the assistance long afforded to him during the infirmities of old age. It would have been cruel to have obliged such a man to sell his library, even to minister to his necessities, as it both instructed and cheered him in his declining days, and perhaps taught him those principles of gratitude which appear. td in his will. On Thursday afternoon, two little boys, be longing to Calton, went to the Clyde at Peat Bog, for the purpose of drawing shinties out of the water. One of them unfortunately over reached himself, and suddenly disappeared in the current. His little companion, who was sitting on the bank, observing lie did not re-appear, cried with great simplicity," Jamie, you'll better come nut, and no hide yoursel' there," but he never again rose above the water. The boy then began to weep, and ran home and told the pa rents, that " Jamie was biding himself, and s d p r o e t a , d dreadinghastened to the voadtta come haute." The distracted father, whate r learned had e ha d p r p e e n l d le fu d l truth from some persons who had witnessed the accident ; but as the child never re-appeared after it fell into the river, no assistance could be rendered. Search was made for the body, but nothing but the bonnet has as yet bean found. The child's mother was on the bank when the search was making, and was in a very distressed situation. — (Glasgow Chronicle.) POETRY. ODE ON SIR JOHN MOORE. Not a drum was heard, nor a funeral note, As his corse to the rampart we hurried ; Not a soldier discharg'd his farewell shot O'er the grave where our hero was buried. We buried him darkly at dead of night, The sods with our bayonets turning— By the struggling moon-beam's misty light, And the lantern dimly burning. No useless coffin enclos'd his breast, Nor in sheet nor in shroud we bound him ; But he ;ay like a warrior taking his rest, With his martial cloak around him. Few and short were the prayers we said, And we spoke not a word of sorrow ; But we stedfaNtly gazid on the face of the dead, And we bitterly thought of the morrow. We thought, as we hollow'd his narrow bed, And smootli'd down his lonely pillow, That the foe and the stranger would tread o'er his head, And we far away on the billow ! Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone, And o'er his cold ashes upbraid him ; But nothing he'll reek, if they let him sleep on In the grave where a Briton has laid him. But half of our heavy task was done, When the clock told the hour for retiring; And we heard by the distant and random gun, That the foe was suddenly firing. Slowly and sadly we laid him down, From the field of his fame fresh and gory; We carved not a line, we raised not a stone, But we left him alone with his glory." ••• As there seem to be as many candidates for the honour of having written the above lines as there were towns that aspired to the reputation of being the birth-place of IlomEtt, we deem it proper to insert them, particularly as an amusing Miscellany, entitled The Gazette of Variety and Litrrary Humourist, has mentioned the Editor of the Sun as one on whom suspicion has alighted. The Editor of this Paper has long known and highly esteemed the family of Sir Joithr M 0011 E. but he does not pretend to the credit of having paid this tribute to the memory of the gallant General.

The Cantu' Fox Hounds, kept by several real sportsmen, principally farmers and tradesmen, unkennelled a fox near Grange, in Cartmel. The dogs being in high condition, and a delicate scent-lying morning, reynard was pursued at an in. credible rats, and in a style which did credit to the managers of such a pack ; they swept away through the covers north. ward, crossing the sands a little south of Newton, returned by nampsfield, and took the ridge of hills in view of Cartinel, which had an imposing effect on the inhabitants, anti more particularly so, it being the Cattle Fair there. They then made a long sweep southward, and, after a desperate chase of upwards of two hours, the fox took refuge in an earth, not far from his den. This afforded a temporary asylum to the poor brute, but alas 1 but of short duration, for ter riers were brought, and though he kept them at bay for some time, he was finally forced to quit his hold and depend on the lightness of his heels; this scheme, however, after all his cun ning shift, proved unavailing, for the staunch noses of his pur suers roused him from every retreat; and after about two hours second chase, during which he gave the spectators at Cartmel another treat, he final' fell a victim to the determined fangs of the hounds on Yewbarrow, after having run, on a moderate computation, not less than between 30 and 40 miles. The head and tail were taken in triumph, as trophies of victory, and ex hibited to the gazing multitude at Cartmel fair. SPalintwo.—Yesterday the fame of Josh Hudson, and the desire to see his condition, drew together an immensely crowded Court ; the condition of Josh was truly fine. Instead of three stone of offal, 26 pounds weight has been taken oil' him, and he will go into the Ring under thirteen stone. The sets to were very good. In the reigns of ELIZABETU and JAktr.s, plays were repeatedly performed before them at the Court on Sunday evenings. There are eight neighbouring Clergymen in the vicinity of Exeter, whose united ages amonnt to very little short of Six Hundred Years. On Monday evening, about eight o'clock, as Major CRAWFORD, of Piccadilly, was returning to town in his carriage, a dark leather trunk, con taining a large quantity wearing apparel and valuable jewellery, was either lost or cut from behind, on the road between Tooting and Vaux hall-bridge.

When it was found that they neither Came to market, nor returned home by Friday, a search was made, and they were found on the following Sunday in the water, locked in each i other's arms, near the place where they attempt ed to cross. One of the young women was just abont to be married ; and was on her way to the market, in consequence of an appointment with the object of her affections, to make some pur chases previous to the wedding.—(lnverness Courier.) WANTON OUTRAGE ON MR. WALTIOUIUti, TUE PERFORMER. —The original Dusty Bob, in Life in London, at the Adelphi Theatre, preferred a charge at Bow-street, this day, against the driver of the hackney-coach No. 231. Mr. W. stated, while he was in his gig, opposite the door of Mr. Frampton, the Proprietor of the Olympic Theatre, the defendant threatened, if he did not move, to upset him, and instantly drove against the gig, which was overturned and smashed to pieces. The horse was dreadfully cut, and him. self bruised. Mr. HALLS said he had never heard of a more wanton outrage, and convicted him in the highest penalty, 3/. and costs, and advised Mr. W. to bring his action for damages. SHERIFF'S COURT—(Tars DAY.) LEWIS V. KING. This was an action to recover a sum of 65/. for work and labour done by the plaintiff at the in stance of the defendant or his partner. The plaintiff was employed in his character of a builder by the acknowledged partner of the de fendant, to do certain repairs, which, when 'corn ! pleted, were paid for. The defendant, hdwever„ and his partner parted ; but subsequently the latter returned, and acted as foreman to the de fendant, and in this capacity ordered the work in question to be done in the absence of the*defend ant, but who, on his return, made no objection to what had taken place. Months pass'ed on without the plaintiff presenting his bill, and words having in the interim arose bete eff them, the def?ndant set up a defence that he was not liable, the repairs having been done without his knowledge. The Jury thought otherwise, and found a verdict for the plaintiff to the full amount. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, Nov.

A decision, very important to the interests of the above class of persons, took place at the last Petty Sessions, at Watford, Hens :—.3lr. James North, the proprietor of an extensive Brewery in that town, was summoned before the Ma gistrates, upon an information lodged against him by an Excise Officer, for the penalty of 1001., for having, contrary to the sta. tute, sold beer to be drank on premises in which he had an in terest and concern. Previous to the opening of the case, the Supervisor of Excise stated, that he understood Mr. Williams, a Solicitor of Gray's Inn, was in attendance on the part of the defendant, and begged that the Magistrates would not permit him to be heard, it being quite unusual in cases of this nature. Mr. WILLIAMS, in reply, observed, that the Board of Ex cise might have sent down its solicitor, had it thought fit, but that because it had not chosen to do so, the defendant ought not to be deprived of the benefit of professional assistance ; and in deed as there were a Supervisor and two other Excise Officers conducting the prosecution, who are generally tolerably au /At at that sort of thing, he really thought the odds were still consi derably against his client. The MAGISTIIATUS said, they were unwilling to shut out any information which they could derive upon the subject, and that they, therefore, should certainly hear what the defendant's solicitor had to advance on behalf of his client. One of the Excise Officers being sworn, stated, that he had purclunied a pint of beer at the defendant's house, which was handed to him through a window under a gateway, adjoining. the house. And that he had also, on the various days he had mentioned, seen a great number of persons drinking beer under the same gateway. Mr. Cowley, the freeholder of the adjoining premises, prov. ed, that in his purchase a right of way was reserved to the de fendant in the gateway in question. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr. It r itt.saus ad dressed the Magistrates at considerable length on the part of the defendant ; and contended, that upon the reasonable and proper construction of the statute, there was no proof whatever that the defendant had any such interest and concern in the gateway ass would bring him within the operation of the law. The Supervisor then handed in a newspaper, containing an account of a similar case, wherein the Magistrates of Manches•• ter had convicted the defendant. Mr. Wit.r.taars said, he would not insult the Bench, by reminding them that the newspaper report was not evidence, and could not at all operate in this case. He had no objec tion to their reading it, and the more they considered it, the less satisfied, he was sure, they would be with the de cision. The Magistrates, on that occassion, had made the cir cumstance of the pot being the defendant's property a principal ground for their convicting. In his case, he neither knew nor cared whether or not the pots were supplied by the brewer, its, although his client might, by Mr. Bennett's Act, be punished for selling his beer without first measuring it in a pewter pot, still that was wholly a distinct point, and had nothing to do with the statute under consideration in which there was not one word about pots from the beginning to the end. lie was quite satisfied that, whatever other Magistrates might have dons in other places, the Gentlemen he was then addressing would not thereby feel themselves bound to convict his client, in direct opposition to reason and common sense. he MAOIHTUATTN, after consulting a few moments, stated that they did not consider themselves at all bound by the Man cheater case, in which it did appear to them, as stated by the defendant's solicitor, that the question of the pots hail been improperly introduced ; that, in this case, one argument had been used by Mr. Wiliams, which seemed irresistible, viz: " that the defendant had not such an interest and concern in the gateway as would enable him to maintain an action of tres pass against any persons who chose to remain there against his consent, or would justify him in forcibly removing them."— Information quashed.
