LITERARY NOTICE. it REVIEW of the WAREHOUSING SYSTEM as con nected with the PORT of LONDON. Taken from Par lamentary Reports and Official Documents. Dedicated to the Earl of LIVERPOOL. By HENRY LONGLANDB, Escj. As this is a commercial country, as well as an ntpire.distiuguished for its naval military and literary character a strong interest must attach to whatever relates to its commercial welfare.— We therefore.deem it an act of politiCal duty to draw the attention of our Readers to the Work before us. The name of the Author of this Tract is well known to the Public by other publica tions of the same nature. If we are rightly in formed, he is the Secretary to the West India Docks, and, after having practised as a Barrister, bas 'renounced law for commerce. As we have Barristers enough and to spare, it is gratifying to we a man of talents and literature direct his at tention to fubjects of vital importance to our commerce, foreign and domestic, This will be found a very valuable Tract to our political as well as commercial Readers ; and therefore, without further preface, we shall submit to them some Extracts from the Work itself, particularly - recommending it to public notice. The Intro duction explains the object of the Authoethus : " The attention of the compiler has necessarily been much directed to the early authorities and °pillions,. illustrative of the principles upon which the Warehousxng System was esta blished ; these from hoe of time have become much dia. posed, and he has therefore been impressed with the import ance of reviving the recollection of them, with reference to the ideas which now seem to prevail. In collecting the following official notices of that System, it is his object to show that it fermi a separate and distinct branch in commercial legislation, .and that it is erroneous to apply to it that line Of policy which is at present pursued in respect to the foreign commerce of the coo:try. The Right Hon. Thomas Wallace, in his celebrated speech 'on the 25th of June, 11121, marked tint the line of distinction thus--" Prom the view I am at present taking, I studiously exclude all Acts arising out of the necessity of creating re venee, or for the protection of particular manufactures—these %tend on principles not only distinct from commerce, but in some degree adverse to it, and rest on grounds of particular eepediency—with these I have now nothing to do. It is to trade itself to which I look—to settle the law relating to the pities from which—the ships in which—and general regula .tions under which, it-is to be carried on." This passage clear ly designates the general purview of the Navigation Laws, as distinguished from those for the security of the revenue, and the protection of national industry which, strictly speaking, coostitute the Warehousing System. Admitting that the bills introduced by the Right Hon. Gen tleman for the removal of some of the restrictions of the Nevi genon Laws are calculated to prove highly beneficial to coin. merce, the compiler cannot admit that every speculative inno vation upon the Warehousing systeM must of course partake theirof merit, being convinced that in the exact proportion in which facilities are efibrded in the one instance, the more rigid preeautione ought to be adopted in the other t—This opinion is thus confirmed by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself :—" As it is my object to invite and facilitate us much as possible, by every degree of practicable freedom, importation for the pur n'Ose Of subsequent exportation, and. as with this view I am prepared to relax the existing provisions of the navigation laws, so tar as to allow an entry to goods and merchandize, in any ship,. and navigated in any' manner whatever : on the other hand, I feel that for the sake of preserving those laws,'as they sfinct importation for the supply of the country, peculiar pre caution must be resorted to, that goods not imported under the restrictions prescribed by the Act of Navigation may not come into consumption underany pretence, or by any authority what ever; and the arrictest regulations will be made on that tie beet." • he following extracts will show that the true policy of a 'well-regulated warehousing system was as thoroughly under stood in former days as it is at present; and that that system bat been extended as the foreign commerce increased, and as sesCient means were in consequence provided, by the erection of secure warehousing establishments. The commerce of the country has flourished, in proportion to the extension and improvement of the system, as aided by .thnso estanlishipente t. and the Question for consideration is. whether steady pereeverance m tee safe and prudent course liecetofore successfully pursued, would not be more consistent with sound policy than a speculative departure from it, in defe mice to the too prevailing disposition to view the results of past experience as " prejudices which have nothing but the rest of antiquity to recommend them." With these views the author proceeds to show the origin of the Legal (4 , lilyß throughout the m kingdo, and commences his Extracts with the followhig preamble of the Act of the Ist of .Elizabeth Cap i i. " Most humbly ehewing beseechen your Highness, your Lords and commons in this present Parliament assembled, that where the Rome of money paid in the name of customs antlettub. sidles of wares and merebendizes transported out, and brought into this your Highness realm of England, by any merchant, stranger, or denizen, is an ancient revenue annexed and it raed to your Imperial Crown, and bath in the time of' King Edward the Third, and other your most noble progenitors, amounted to great and notable sums of money, till ef late years many greedy and covtegne persons, reepenung mils! their private gain and commoditr than their duty and allegiance, or the common profit of the realm, have and do daily, as well by conveying the Same their wares toed in rchendizes out of creeks and places where no customer is resident, as also by or through the negli gence or corruption of the ettetoiner, searcher or other officer, where they be resident ; as by divers other freudulent, undue and subtle practices, and devices, convey their goods and mer chandises, as well brought from the parts beyond the sea, as transported out of' this remir realm of England, without pay ment or agreeing for the payment of the cuNtimts and subsidies therefore due (3) whereby th:l yearly revenue aforeeaid is very much impaired and diminished, to the great loss and damage of your Highness, and to the great burden and charge of your loving subjects, who by ocemion thereof, have of late years been more charged with subsidies and payment for the supplement of the said loss and damage, than else we should have been." After reciting the consequent enactment which "ishlished tits. 1,4. gal Quays, the author adds—. This Act was recited in, and further authority given to the Vrown by the 1 3th and I , ith of Charlet' 11.; but that authority was not exercised as reepects the, port of London beyond the first grant of theeprivilege, it appearing by the Second Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, of Mit, that " Legal Quart below Loncion-hritige, which were established by a law passed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, have not been emlerged since that time." As the inadequacy of the Legal Quays was felt, a partial remedy was found. by eetablisliing Sufferance Wharfs; but this measure appear* to have been altogether ineffectual, although carried to a greater extent than was deemed consistent with the security of the revenue. Alluding to a more recent period, he says— The improvements which have been made in the port of Landon embrace a vast extension of the. Legal Quays, as well as the SuGrance Wharf'', the whole of the quays of the East Intlie, West India, and London Docks, having been esta laliehed as Legal Quays, by the authority of Parliament; anti the wharfs or the Emit ountry, and Commercial Ik. ks Suf. feranw Wharfs; certain goods are also landed on the wharfs of the Regenee Canal and Surrey Canal.. The warehousing system was extended as these improve ments were made, and the grounds on which the Legislature was induced to ',Trent privileges to the different Companies, in conanderation of the advantages likely to result to the pub. lie from the erection of close docks, are fully developed in the valuable Reports of the Committee of the Rave o , Commons. The important extracts which he gives tend to show, that " As a general depot of the products both of the north and setuth of Europe, anti also the Eastern and Weetern World, we Possess many great and striking advantages, from our local adulation, relatively both to Europe and America: from our Imssessing almost a complete monopoly . of the trade of India and China ; from th e var i e ty an d superior quality of our ala riufacture%, %tined to everf our market ; from the powerful influ ente o bleat mercanul y e and manufacturing capital, and from me %void nei , energy, and enterprising spirit erf our merchants. " By admitting all the principal articles of merchandise to be deposited in Warehouses immediately on importation, and requiring no .part of the duties to be advanced, until delivered out for home consumptiOn, or if exportdd, to be subject to nO , whatever, the revenue would also, be generally be. littfitted. And this systemof W arehousingallgoods on im portation would be essentially' aided by the plans which have been in agitation for some time past of erecting close Rocks and warehouses on the river Thames. Ships on their arrival would proceed directly into these docks, and be discharged of their cargoes under the immediate eye of the principal out-door offi cers of the Customs, without being inbjected in any degree those enormous depreciations which aril at present solendly, and I believe so justly, complained of; whilst a great saving would at the same accrue to the revenue, by a reduction of the number of officers in what is called the Water Guard.", Referring to the foregoing quotations, the Author says— - - " These opinions could not fail to have their due weight, and we find that the Committee reported to the House as fol lows (p. 10) :—" Upon this subject your Committee also think it necessary to call the attention of the House to the evidence of Mr. Irving, the Inspector General of the Imports and Ex ports of Great Britain, taken before former Committees, con ceiving that it throws very important lights upon a matter in which the political and commercial interests of the country are deeply concerned ; inasmuch as the system in question tends to render this country a general depot for the trade of other coun tries, and must necessarily increase the amount of its active ca pital, together with the amount of the mercantile credit at tached to it. And from his further evidence upon the present occasion, your Committee collect, that if it should be deemed expedient to carry the warehousing system beyond the articles which the Commissioners of Customs and Excise have proposed to begin with there are many to which the same principle might be conveniently applied." A note upon this extract throws a new and • very important light upon the subject ; it is as follows :-- The active capital employed 'in commerce has not only been increased by the amount of the monies which were former. ly advanced in payment of duties, but, in addition thereto, in thuse dock establishments, in which the business is securely , and systematically conducted, the goods themselves represented by duly authenticated documents, became as active and available capital as money in the funds. (ro be continued.) CAMBRIDGE AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. The Thirteenth Anniversary Meeting of the Cambridge Auxiliary Bible Society wax held at the Theatre, on Tuesday last; and, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather it was respectably attended. FRANCIS PIM, Esq. being requested to take the Chair, he opened the business of the Meeting by observing, that he was very unexpectedly called upon to preside, as it was expected that the Noble Lord who was at present in Cambridge (Lord Calthorpe) would have occupied that place; but though his Lordship was prevented from being present at the commence ment of the meeting, he would soon arrive. He stated, that letters had been received from the Earl of llardwicke and Earl De La Warr, accounting for their absence, and expressing their regard for the interests of the Society. lie said he would not occupy their time by making any observations, but merely re quest the Secretary to read the report. The Rev. JAMES SCHOLFIELD read the report, which con tained a e very satisfactory account of the proceedings of the So. ciety. The number of Bibles and Testaments circulated since its formation, was stated to be 10,3114, of which a greater num ber bad been circulated during the last year than in any preced ing. During the last year, 124 new Biblical institutions have been formel in the united kingdom, in aid of the Parent Society, the exertions of which were stated to have been very successful in most parts of the world, and an increasing desire to pos sess the criptures was generally manifested. After reading the Treasurer s account, the Rev. Secretary said, that in addi tion to the receipts mentioned, he had received a letter from Lord De La Warr, enclosing ; and he had that morning also received fifty guineas from the undergraduates of the university. This statement was met with general marks of approbation. The Rev. CHARLES SIMEON moved the first resolution, " That the report now read he adopted and circulated, and that the respective officers be requested to conti nue t h e i r serv i ces ," &c. The Bible Society, be said, was more interesting at this time than at any other, from the operations which were taking place in the sister kingdom ; where the sdbject was brought into the arena of public discussion, and where it became a question whether the Bible was to be circulated or not. From what he had seen of the discussion, the Bible had carried every thin before it ; and looking at what was passing in Ireland, he could not but congratulate his Protestant brethren, that neither Lords, Commons, nor Priests—that, in fact, no man under Heaven, could take the Bible out of their hands. He would have every man think for himself, anti it was with regret that he saw a portion of his fellow..subjects deprived of this privilege by the priests. While he regretted that the Word of God was thus kept from our brethren in Ireland, yet It was a fact that re ligion was spreading over the world in general, which was to be ascribed to the exertions of the British and Foreign Bib!: Society. When they considered the millions of copies of the Scriptures which had been circulated through the world, by which means the Word of God had become known to distant nations, it was impossible not to rejoice, and bless God for the favour lie had shown to 'their efforts. Per sons were labouring in all parts of the world to propagate a knowledge of the Scriptures; and when it was recollected that most of those persons had gone from this university, he might more particularly rejoice in what they had done. The circula don of the Bible still continued to increase, though they were told, in the first instance, that Bibles were not wanted. This afforded then) every encouragement to go forward in their la bours, and while they put the Bible into the hands of others, let them take care to have it in their own. Not in their hands alone, but let the word of Christ dwell richly in their hearts, for he felt assured that if the Bible was more studied, they would be more anxious to spread it through the world. The Rev. A. BRANDRAM (one of the Secretaries of the pa rent society) seconded the resolution. There was one observa tion he wished to make in referenee to what had been said by the Rev. Gent. who moved this resolution. lie (Mr. B.) was at Oxford when lie heard with pleasure of the proceedings of this auxiliary society, and some attempts were made there to form a similuir society, which he rejoiced to say bad now been carried into effect. His Oxford blood boiled when he heard his friend (Mr. Simeon) say, that the persons now employed in diffusing the Gospel in foreign parts went principally from this university ; for he recollected that many actively en. gaged in the cause had gone from Oxford ; and there was among them one distinguished name which they must all be acquainted with—the present Bishop of Calcutta. It was his duty to state the proceedings of the parent Society,and he would, in so. doing, confine himself to what took place at their Com niittee Meeting on Monday, when they had persons present from the four quarters of the world, with communications of the most gratifying nature; imploring assistance to carry them forward in their undertakings. The Rev. Gent. here entered into details or the communications received, which embraced in telligence of a.very interesting nature, not only from most parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, but gave an account of the distri- 1 bution of' the Scriptures among the Eaquimaux of North Ame rica, and the southern states of that continent. From this speci men which he gave of what had been done, which be said only included the proceedings of one of their Meetings, which were freequently held, there was every reason to increase their exertions. There was a wide door open for their labours, God spoke to them to go forward, and let them support to their utmost this blessed cause. The Rev. Professor FARTSII moved the second resolution, "'That this M eet i ng cord i a l ly re j o i ces i n the progress already made by the British and Foreign Bible Society, in the transla tion and dissemination of the Holy Scriptures in the different languages of the world ; and especially in the general co-ope ration by which its l a b ours h ave b een seconded in most of the civilzed nations of the earth." .The Rev. Professor, in a speech of same length, took a review of the formation of the Cambridge Auxiliary Society, and of the good effects which the circulation of the Bible was capable of producing among the lower classes of society.... NOAII WEBSTER, Esq. (from America) seconded the reso. lotion, and gave the meeting an account of the different so cieties in America for propagating the knowledge of the Scrip. tures. _ Joann WEnD, Esq. after an animated speech of tonal derable length, moved the third resolution, " that the general and extending support which the Bible Society is receiving within t he united kingdom, is a su bj ect o f pleasing congratu. latian ; and that we especially rejoice in the efforts it is making for the supply of the spiritual wants of Ireland with,the Scrip turCi." • - The Rev. Professor LEE, in seconding the resolution, con gratulated the meeting on the opposition the Bible Society had met with in Ireland, as it showed that their etibrts had pro duced an effect among the people which he trusted would he to the advantage of the country. The only argument which the priests had brought against the distribution of the Bible was, that there were difficulties in it which the ignorant might wrest to their condemnation. That there were difficulties he would grant, but they consisted in the nicer points, which neither the Priests nor the Popes - themselves could-explain ; and if the 'Bible be taken out of the hands of the people, because they could not understand ..every passage, it must be taken from tlwe Priests also. The object the Bible had in view was to .convert the hearts oftnen from the love and service of sin, to the service and love of God. This was to be found upon the surface of the Bible, and the poor could fully understand it. From the success of this society they might conclude that God bad blessed their exertions, and if they proceeded as they had 'hitherto done, there could be no doubt that the spread of the Gospel would proceed to a still greater extent, and they might I anticipate a time when the knowledge of the Lord would corer the earth as the water cover the sea. Lord Cat.T on I.E next addressed the meeting. He said that, being an accidental visitor in Cambridge, he would rather have left the resolution he now rose to move to other gentle men, if he could have felt it consistent with his feeling of the benefits of such a meeting, to have been within its reach and not to have attended. Ile could not visit this plack, where he spent several years of his life, without feeling his old,associa tions awakened, which were producj of increasing interest,' when he connected the university with thisAstitutions. II he had heard nothing of the society but what had come before the meeting that day, it would be convincing to him how worthy it was of the support of a Protestant university. He felt a lively hope that what was passing in Ireland, if it produced no other effect, would 'produce this—that those Protestants who had hitherto kept back, would shake off their connection with those who who deprecated the reading of the Scriptures, and feel the claims of this society to the support of those who loved the simple and unadultered word of God. He said this as a warns lover of the Church of England, for he felt assured that those who supported this institution could not injure that establishment, but those who with held their support doubtless might. The Noble Lords concluded a very eloquent address in favour of the so eiety,:which our limits will not permit us to give, by moving the fourth resolution, " That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the conductors of the Branch Societies and Associa tions, and that they be earnestly requested to continue their operations with increased regularity and diligence." E. Fos's' En, Esq. seconded the resolution. GEORGE PnYmE, Esq. moved, " That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to William Wilkins, Esq. for the use of the Theatre, and to Francis Pym, Esq. for- his attention to the business of the clay." As to the immediate object of tbe.motion, they had had so often to return thanks to those gentlemen, that there was nothing new to be said on the sub ject. It ought not, however to be forgotten, that there was a time when they could not have held their Meeting unless the Theatre had been granted them as the only other building in which it might h a ve be en held was refused ; and as to the Chairman, he trusted that such as they had found him hitherto, such they should find bins always. The Learned Gentleman then dwelt at some length upon the m er i ts o f the I ns tit u tion, and the advantage likely to be derived from its operations in Greece. The Reverend JAMES SCHOLEVIELD seconded the reso. Infirm. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and congratulated the Meeting upon the interesting natu re of th e p rocee di ngs o f th e day.—The meeting then dissolved, and the collection at the door amounted to 281. 9s.—(Cambridge Chronicle.)

FOR THE SUN. WORTHY Enrron=—l sent you lately a sort of squib against Assurance Offices, but I find since, that my information was imperfect. There is more assurance abroad than I was aware of. I took my list from a very large Directory, and therefore supposed to be right, but subsequent i n spi, c ti o n of advertisements has supplied three more, viz. the Asylum Life Ass, the Economical ditto, and the Medical, Clerical, &c. do. Pos. sibly, therefore, there may still be more ; for who shall venture to be positive when such au thorities fail, or who can hope to detect ussur•- ance in all its forms ? To increase the evil, I hear of several new firms likely to be established. It is said that some leading demagogues are projecting new Offices for Assurances, of which they have an abundant stock. The names of H. - C. and C. are mentioned ; but I avoid being personal. A cer tain preacher, who is at war with the Govern ment of his own Church, is expected to set up another on his own bottom Another is said to be planned near !fatten-garden, by one who has long warred with common sense and common language. In short, such is the encouragement given by fashion and example, that all persons who have much assurance of their own are plan ning how to turn it to profit, by dispensing it to others for certain premiums. Ere long it will be said of us, as one girl in Midas says to the other, " Why now your assurance Is past all endurance." A letter from Lima of the 3d of July states, that Mr. ROWCROFT had arrived in that city, and was fulfilling, to a certain extent, the functions of Consul-General in behalf of the English merchants. lie called a meeting of the _Bri tish commercial residents on the 30th of June, to whom he exhibited his commission, and read extracts from the instructions given him by Mr. CANNING. TheSe, it appears, did not permit him to carry on trade, nor to charge any commission, but authorized him to certify any instrument as a notary, and to claim a remunera tion for that service. lie was particularly charged not to encourage any illicit traffic, either against the laws of England or those of the country in which his official residence was fixed. No men tion is made of Mr. B,oWcuOFT's having pre sented his credentials ,to the Spanish authorities its Lima. The blockade of Callao by the Peru. vian squadron had, it seems, placed the English merchants in some difficulty, as General Ronir,, the Spanish officer who commanded in that fort. ress, on the approach of Admiral Ginn, refused to allow any communication between the shore and such English merchant-vessels as were ing at anchor in a distant part of the bay, with the view to prevent any information being conveyed to the patriot blockading vessels.— Through the exertions, however, of Captain MAILING, of his Majesty's ship Cambridge, who was applied to by the merchants, such arrange ments were made as satisfied General Roan,, and thecommunication with the shore was placed on its former footing. FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Etoile if Thursday, Nov. 2f).) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. N.—Lord Strangford, before he left this capital, had several confer ences with the Ottoman Ministergi, lie received ,from, them a fokal premise of 'tile speedy and Stiftr9 vracuato%i# Moldltyith. As Lordship, in consequence propOseit to M. Minziacky to assume his diplomatic character; but all on a sudden news arrived that the Turkish troops, far from evacuating Moldavia, were committing the most horrible excesses there. One of the Grand Dig nitaries has been massacred by these barbarians ; others are threatened with the same fate. M. Minziacky, therefore, persists in living as a mere private individual. The issue of the campaign, so disastrous to the. Porte, greatly embarrasses the diplomatic body. It seems that they had calculated on the idea that the Greeks would be overpowered : their complete triumph, therefore, deranges many combinations. Nobody, how ever, apprehends that open hostilities will be its result. Letters from Smyrna say that the Pectin of Syria is in complete insurrection against the Porte. The evacuation of Wallachia does not seem to be nearer than that of Moldavia. ( From the Constitutionnel.) MADRID, Nov. 11.—The uncertainty in which we have been for some time past, respecting the result of the negociations between France and Spain, gives rise to a variety of reports, which are caught at eagerly, without any one taking the trouble to know whether they are well founded or not. The following is that current to-day :—The Queen will not remain at Madrid if the French leave it : the Infant Don Francisco has apprehensions for his family, and is also anxious to get off; and the King is imme diately to go to Burgos, as is manifest from there being a relay of horses ordered on this route. The Queen and the Infantas have themselves written to Charles the Tenth, supplicating him to leave some of his troops at Madrid. On the other hand, we are assured the principal tnetn hers of the Apostolic Junta have offered to the King, in the name of the Clergy, large sums of money-100 million reels for his consent to the departure of the French. bAtteELoNA., Nov. 15.—The 41st regiment of the line, the Ist and 12th light infantry, and the 3d hussars belonging to the division oc cupying Catalonia, have received orders to hold themselves in ready to return to France. On their arrival at Perpignan they are to receive further orders respecting their destination from Baron itottenburg, Commander of the Eastern Pyrenees. All these regiments are at present making preparations for their departure. The depot of the 28th of the line, stationed at Tarbes, is to set out on the 25th of this month for Rochelle, where it is to be established. The Journal of Cambray informs us that a report prevails there and at. Valenciennes, that the 48th regiment of the line, which was proceeding to the islands, has been shipwrecked and totally lost. But a letter has been received from an officer of this regiment, stating that the regiment was to depart only on the 17th of this month, therefore we conclude that this melancholy news is en tirely false. ( From the Journal des Debuts.) CORFU, Nov. 2.—( Private Correspondence.)—The insur rection of the villages of Acroceraunia is complete ; the inha bitants have raised the standard of the Cross from Buthrotuni to Avlone. Letters from Epirus say That the Argyrinne, the Musachi, and Kouitza, have joined for the cause of inde pendence. Mavrocordato has just sent a summons to the Turkish Go vernor Of Arta. Omer Vrione is said to be surrounded or killed at the defile of the Five Wells. In a short time you will hear astonishing things. Awcoma, Nov. 10.—Extract from a letter, addressed to a subscriber of the Journal des Debats, at Paris, received 23d of November : " I beg you to send me a letter of recommendation for the Greek Government at Napoli de Romania. Ibrahim Pacha, son of the Viceroy of Egypt, and Ismael Gibraltar, Admiral of our Viceroy of Egypt, are prisoners to the Greeks, and I would give half of my blood to be useful to those two illustrious pri. Boners. You, my dear friend, will do me a most signal service by employing all your credit for the relief of those two persons, and by writing on the subject to your powerful friends at Na. poll, that they may be treated with attention and respect. You are not ignorant how much I am attached to the Viceroy of Egypt: do then all the good you can to his son without delay and without limits : the ransom of these prisoners will be better 'to the Greeks than a loan.

ROYAL LEFT-HANDED MARRIAGE.—A letter from Ber lin, of the 13th inst., in a Dutch paper, contains the following paragraph :—" At the concert. of 111. Moscheles, the numerous audience was most agreeably surprised by the appearance of the Princess of Lcignitz in the Royal box. We perhaps never saw the public more eager and impatient, for the marriage of his Majesty had remained a secret till that evening, and of 1,000 persons at the concert, five at most brought the news into the concert-room. The Princess of leignitz is by birth a Countess of Harrach. Her parents have lived for these many years in Dresden ; her mother was a Baroness Reisky ; and a brother of the Princely' is in the Austrian army. One of her uncles, Count Charles Von Harrach, lives at Vienna, and is doctor of physic, to which science he has devoted himself from his youth with great ardour, and which he practices for the benefit of the poor with equal humanity and success. The Princess herself is 26 years of age, adorned with; all the charms of youth, grace, and beauty." The above account was sent to the Hamburgli paper by order of the King, as appears from the following circular to the public officers and the diplomatic body residing at Berlin His Majesty, desiring that the marriage with her Highness the Princess of Leignitz should be considered merely as a :private matter, has not thought fit to have it officially published in the journals of this capital; but his ',Majesty has been pleased to consent that the annexed ar ticle might be inserted in the Gazelle of flamburgh."—Berlin, Nov. 11, 1024.—(Signed)—WITTGEssTmx. Far Not MONSTER.—The French Court of Assize at Versailles was occupied on Tuesday last with the trial of a wretch named Leger, who strangled, on St. John's day, in the neighbour hood of Etampes, a young girl, violated her per son, and afterwards drank her blood and ate a part of her flesh. He is evidently insane. The most horrible facts of this recital rested on his own confession. The Jury found him guilty, and the Court condemned him to death. FOR TIII3 SUN.
