UNIONS. IN consequence of numerous inquiries, the Com rnittee of the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC UNION o f 'uNDON deere it right to state that the resolutions passed h a t the GENERAL MEETING of ARTISTS and others, eld a t the Freemasons"ravern on Saturday Evening, the 17th 3118 t., had no reference whatever to this ASSOCIATION. The attention of the public is particularly directed to the fIiOSPECTUS, to be had of the Secretary at the ROYAL P OLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, Regent- street. • COMMISSION OF LUNACY. Yesterday a commission of lunacy was executed be fore Commissioner Edward Winslow, Esq., and a. Special Jury, of whom Captain Fitzgerald acted as foreman, at the Stag Tavern, Fulham-road, Chelsea, to inquire into the state of mind of George De Rie iner, described in the Commission as of No. 2, Ottery ! place College- s t ree t, Ch e l sea, E squ i re. Mr. Dodd, from the office of Mr. Dean, of Essex street, attended in support of the Commission, which had been issued at the instance of the wife of the al. leged lunatic. Mr. De Riemer, at his own request, was present to watch the proceedings. He was stated to be about 70 years of age, but in appearance he seemed to be much older. 11: - ‘,1 sight is much impaired, as well as his hear ing, and &ler several attempts on the part of the Learned Commissioner to make him acquainted with the duties the Jury were called upon to perform, which however, proved ineffectual, the examination of the witnesses proceeded. It appeared that Mr. De Riemer was possessed of from 7001. to 8001. per annum, and that he had formerly carried on the busi ness of a watch-maker, in High-street, Portsmouth. In 1816, he retired from business, and, up to Nov. 13, 1831, he had conducted himself as a man of sound mind. Upon that occasion he became maniacal, and raved out that there were thieves and robbers in the house—that he had been knocked down in the streets while on his way to his stockbroker to invest 3004 and that the party who h a d plune.ered him h a d con veyed him to a gaol and deprived him of liberty. An other remarkable delusion under which the unfortu nate gentleman laboured was, that his wife (to whom he was married about six years since, and is about forty-five years of age) was his house-keeper, and that his house was a mile and a quarter dis tant from where he was living, and that Mrs. De Riemer had run away from him, carrying with her all his property. Whenever his wife reasoned with him respecting his delusions, he confessed him self to be attached to her, declaring the matter to be all a joke, but insisted that she was his housekeeper, and that she had a husband living as a butler in a nobleman's family. He repeatedly declared that rogues and robbers were by his bedside, and on one occasion said h e h a d consu lt e d some medical practi tioners respecting his sight and hearing, and they had done him so much good, that in future, out of grati tude, he should call them " mopsticks." On another occasion he offered Mr. Harness, a surgeon, 201. t o remove him to a spongi ng -h ouse , he being at the time impressed that his house was a gaol. The unfortunate gentleman was questioned at some length by the Learned Commissioner upon the points spoken to by the witnesses and his answer s f u ll y proved the unsound s t a t e of his mind. The Jury declared Mr. George de Riemer to have been insane from the ].3th of Nov., 1831. 111 'E'tiENSION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF ART-UNIONS.

Resolved, That the above resolutions be officially forwarded by our highly -esteemed Alderman, Sir James Duke, to our city and county representatives. It was moved and seconded, That it is the opinion of this Wardmote that part of the ample revenue of the Corporation ought to be applied in the easement of the Sewers and Consoli dated Rates, which press so heavily upon the citizens; and which may be readily accomplished by a more judicious and economi cal expenditure of these funds, The resolution on being put was negatived.

She was much affected by what he had said, and on Sunday, the 1 1 th, was confined.

CHARITY. Mr. Hardwick, on taking his seat at the Marl borough-street Police -court, on Thursday, said it gave him the highest gratification to announce the receipt of a letter from the Russian Ambassador, Baron Brunnow, inclosing the m unificent donation of 501., and couched in terms which did equal honour to the head and heart of the representative of a great nation. The letter was as fo „ li rh s burnham House, D ec. 21. " Hardwick,—Chri s t mas b e i ng near at that many poo r f am ili es in our parish will be t° wit fin ho d h without the means of enj oy i ng t h e hand,My dear regretM of this season of th e year. With the feeling of a good neighb our , I b eg to send you t h h o e m in el cc le o p sed as c u h r e e q s u for 501., to be distributed as you m ay think proper amongst some honest families, in order to enable them and their children to have, in the good old English style, a merry Christmas. " I hope you will excuse my taking the liberty of applying to you on this occasion, but knowing your own kind feeling towards the distressed, lam con vinced you will not deny me your friendly assistance in distributing the inclosed according to the best of your judgment. " With sincere esteem, my dear Mr. Hardwick, yours, "BRUNNOW." On Thursday, the Magistrates of Bow-street, Lam beth-street, Marlborough-street, Union-hall, Mary iebone, and Clerkenwell Police-courts, each acknow ledged the receipt of a donation of 10/. for the relief of the poor, under the will of the late Mr. Davidge, of the Surrey Theatre. RATHER UNPLEASANT.—On Monday last, when the Inverary Castle, iron-steamer, was on her pas sage from Glasgow to Lochgilphead, it was discovered by two of the crew, shortly after leaving Dunoon, that she was making water rapidly, and that it had already reached the fore-cabin floor. On the al arm being given, the Captain went immediately below, and on Coming upgave orders to run her ashore, but after wards told the pilot to proceed to Inland. On reach ing that place he found the pumps were keeping the water so far under, that he resolved on roun di ng Toward-point, and proceeding to Rothesay. The passengers, who were naturally less courageous, were, of course, much alarmed, esp ec i a ll y as the crew ap peared, by their manners and gestures, to be preparing for the worst. Fortunately, th e vesse l reac h e d Rothe say in safety, and shortly a f terwards procee d e d on it s c ourse to Lochgilphead ; many of the passengers, however, remaining behind.—Glasgow Citizen. The Leicester Herald (an ultra-Tory journal) was discontinued on Saturday, after being in existence fifteen yearße""NOttingliarn DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVER• POOL. On Thursday morning, about six o'clock, it was dis covered that the tar and resin works of Messrs. Platt and Son, at the south end of Liverpool, were on fire. These works are very extensive, and have fronts to four streets—namely, Parliament, Greenland, New hall, and Jamaica streets. They occupy a space of nearly 700 square yards. The tar and resin works are in the centre, and front to Parliam en t an d Green land streets. Al each end are ranges of lofty ware houses, one range fronting Jamaica, the other New hall-street, and are generally filled with general mer chandise. The fire, from the extremely combustible nature of the materials on the works, soon got head, defying all the exertions of the fire police, under the able management of Mr. Whitby, as well as of the Wrest of England engine, under the direction of Mr. Whitehouse, not merely to subdue, but even to arrest its destructive progress. The state of the wind greatly contributed to fan and to spread the flames. There was a strong breeze from the south-east, which, blowing right across the river, carried the flames in a body from the tar and resin works to the range of warehouses at the east end, while the intense heat fired those at the west end. The result was, that by eight o'clock the whole was one mass of ruin. Meanwhile, the dwelling-houses on all sides of the burning pile were exposed to im minent danger, from the direct flames in one direction, and from the intense heat in every other. The neigh bourhood is densely inhabited, and the alarm of the inhabitants was great. While they were removing their furniture, the fire police, despairing of arresting the career of the fire in the tar and resin works, played on the houses. The whole of those in New-hall street were, however, utterly destroyed, and others in Greenland-street were seriously damaged. A school belonging to the congregation of Great George -street Chapel was held in the lower room of one of the ware honses in Greenland-street, and was, of course, con. sumed, with all its books and furniture. The fire was, it appears, caused by the boiling of turpentine early in the morning. Two men in one of the warehouses escaped from burning by descending, the stairs being on fire, by the jigger. rope. The warehouses contained wheat, flour, and cotton. The damage is estimated at 50,0001. The flames in the contiguous premises had not been quite subdued at the departure of the half-past ten o'clock railway train. The breeze from the south west continued to blow and to spread the flames. HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT'S HARRIERS. —His Royal Highness's harriers met on Thursday morning on the Buckinghamshire side of the Thames, at Ankerwycke, close to the mansion of George Simon Harcourt, Esq., the late Member for the county. The field consisted, in addition to the Prince, who was present, attended by Major-General Wemyss and Major-General Sir Edward Bowater, only of the gentry and yeom en res idi ng i n th e immediate locality of the meet. A fine bare was soon found near the village of Wyrardisbury, which afforded an excellent forty minutes' run, and was killed in the park of Mr. llarcourt. The pace was extremely fast throughout. The Prince, who was mounted upon his favourite hunter, took the whole of the leaps which presented themselves (and some were of rather a formidable character) in excellent style, and was the first in the field up at the take. The harriers are in capital con dition, and went through their work in beautiful style. THE LINEN TRADE.—Whether or not the linen trade, in the North of Ireland, has undergone any re cent improvement, has, we observe, called forth opi nions from some of our Contemporaries, both in this country and in England. W e h ave made inquiry upon the subject, and w e fi n d th at all that can be said is, that there is a feeble i n di ca ti on, b ut still an indica tion, of amendment. Thi s i s, i n so far, satisfactory; but, it would be fo o li s h t o say, that any change, to be boasted of has yet occurred. We only trust that the slight symptoms alluded to may increase. Some ship ments of yarns to France have taken place ; but we fear that we can have little hope of trade in that quarter, under th e ex i s ti ng F renc h tariff. It is, how ever, very satisfa c t o ry t o learn, that some recent ship ments of Irish flax have taken place to Belgiu m , France, and America; thus proving, that an unpro tected branch of Irish agriculture can enter into com petition with an article of foreign growth.—Bel fast TM:. THE BRINDLE WILL CAUSE. —Our readers will recollect, that a short time ago we gave extracts from a petition signed by 194 members of the Roman Catholic congregation of Brindle, addressed to their Bishop, request i ng h i m to prevent confes sors from making the wills of their penitents in their own favour, and to oblige the Reverend Thomas Sherburne to restore the Brindle property to the natural and legal heirs. This petition having met with no attention from the Bishop, a copy of it, we, hear, has been sent to the Pope, as the peti tioners are determined to be hoard. From what we learn, on good authority, a person high in office may be expected in these parts from the Court of Rome, to investigate the accusations which have been so of brought against certain members of the Roman Catholic clergy, and which have created so great a noise in this part of the country.—Preston Chronicle. The Album Artesien gives the following affecting account of the wreck of the brig Forbin, of Nantes, Captain Ducouret. She left Marans with a cargo of oats and beans for Toulon, and on the 27th arrived off Parquerolles, where, being overtaken by a storm she was driven off th e Carmague, and carried by 0); current on to the shore, from which, on the 28th, she could see the lighthouse of Faraman. She put out two anchors, but they dragged, and, seeing little hope of escaping otherwise, the crew made a raft. This, however, was carried away from the vessel's side just at the moment it was finished. At length the vessel was upset by the violence of the waves, and could not be righted. The cabin boy jumped overboard, and being a good swimmer, got safe ashore. The Captain and his wife, the mate, and five sailors, got upon the bulwarks, the only part which remained above water. Madame Ducouret was several times washed off, and was as often caught and saved by her husband. At length she was washed under the vessel and neve, more appeared,atretenlptto raecnodvethr heeCr.

Annuities of 1001. a year each are left to the children of his late brother, Colonel Noel Hill.
