~.. - : • - 4t ' • ?;<- 7 •ui, ~,:; ~. THE WIDOW of the late Rev. WM. CREASY DREW, A. 8., Rector of Sandrington with Babingley, and Curate of North Ruucton, Norfolk, has, by the awful visitation of Providence, which suddenly bereaved her of her husband, been lift without the means of decent support for their Family of ten Children. She brought to her husband a fortune, which, with the eddition of his Clerical Emoluments, was for a while compe tent' to all their wants and wishes. But a series of misfortunes gradually impaired their resources. Mr. Drew's aged parents fell into pecuniary difficulties, from which he relieved them by a considerable sacrifice; and during their last years they were en tirely supported by 'his band. His wife's portion consisted partly of property in shipping, all of which was ultimately lost ; and part was so circumstanced as to involve him in the payment of debts which did not really belong to him. Other branchee of the family drew upon the facility of his disposition for supplies which he could ill afford. He had become a party to a bond for a considerable sum, as the marriage-portion of a sister, whieh, it was calculated, would be her fair proportion of their father's property at his decease. The father died insolvent ; and the bond was, after a partial remission, Idischarged by the son. By an almost unprecedented devotion of themselves to the entire education of their children, Mr. and Mrs. Diew had avoided great expence : still, the above-mentioned cur tailments, and the exigencies -of an almost yearly increasing family, preseed hard upon them. In the year 1824 , , he resolved to meet the pressure by receiving private pupils. Providence favoured his under taking beyond his hopes. He was appointed to hold a small living, for a term of years, for the very first young man placed under hie care. The prospects of the family pow brightened. . There was, even a hope that continued exertion might restore them to the en joy-lira of an . independent competency. In t h e d ischarge of his duty on F l a.gtef Sunday last, Mr. Drew eaught a severe cold—;n al arMing fever - ensued--.4e survived the immediate attack ; but hie constitution was fatally injured; and the sudden rupture of a blood :vessel, on the 27th -of November, in a moment terminated Ilia exiitence. No relative of either parent remains from whom the family can derive the- smallest consolation or relief. The following. Gentlemen—viz., Daniel Gurney, Esq., and Charles Goodwin, Esq., of North Runcton ; the Very Rev. Dean Wood, of Aliddleton ; the Rev." W. J. Brodrick, of Castle Rising ; the Rev. R. Hankinson, of West Bilney Ledge ; the Rev. R. Han kinson, jun., of Walpole; Frederick Lane, Esq., of king's Lynn ; and the Rev. E. Swatman, of \ Little Fransham—deeply impressed with the di stresse d s i tuation of the faMily, propose to raise a Furd riot its Relief by Subscription, and to vest the management of it in Tiustees, to he hereafter appointed out of their number.

BUTLER'S CAJEPUT OPODELDOC.— Cajeput Oil, which is the basis of this Opodeldoc, has been long esteemed on the Continent, as a remedy for Chronic Rheumatism, Spasmodic Affections, Chilblains, Palsy, Stiffness, and Enlargement of the Joifits, Sprains, Bruises, and Deaf ness; and the experience of late years, in England, proves. that it merits the high character given of it by the most eminent in the profession, in those obstinate complaints. Being combined in the form of Opodeldoc, it is rendered more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious as an external application. Rubbed upon - the skin, by means of flannel, or the warm hand, it allays morbid irritation of nerves, invigorates the absorbents, and accelerates the circulation. „-- Sold in .

JOHN CHARLES DENHAM, Secretary. Dec. 20, 1826. The brig Liverpool Packet, of Ri c h m o n d , Vi rg i n i a , with a cargo of flour, a nd lying in the h ar b our, wa i t i ng or d ers, took fire on Monday, in the cabin, at 9 P.M. ; on a signal of dis tress being given, Assistance was dispatched from his Majesty's ships Seaziramis and Victor, from the transport and merchant men lying in port, from the Revenue Department, the boats of the Water Guard, and several from the shore. By the greatest exer tion and the most imminent personal risk, the vessel being in a blaze of fire, they succeeded in saving a part of the cargo and ma terials, which .are deposited in a house near Agliada; the vessel continued burning all night, and this morning several boats and Morn big Chronicle. lighters-have gone to her assicitance.--; cork PRICE ID. LITERATURE. ROBINS' LONDON AND DUBLIN MAGAZINE, HIV. pp. 112 This is ,a lively, spirited, and varied Miscellany, full of Irish whim (that best of all whim), with no slight. admix tura of ingenious extravaganc e . The first article, entitled " Sketches of the Pulpit, the Rev. M. B. Keogh," is elo quent and impressive, and though we never had the good fortune to hear the sermons of the subject of its discussion, :is, we doubt not, faithful. The poem on visiting a field of battle, is original, but not poetic, being stuck all over with the gaudy flowers of metaphor, like a twelfth cake with images. What does its writer mean by such an -expres sion as "gory grandeur," or "a cannon's crash, that peals the knell of death," does he not know that a crash can no more peal a knell, than a •HOttentot can dance a quadrille; But we happen to be good-humoured just now, so, as the author of this curiosity is manifestly young (and if not young, incorrigible), we will pass him without further comment... " The Soldier in spite of Himself," is a weit told racy anecdote, and as welcome after its pbetiC4i&lie . *: cessor, asa short grace before a hot dinner; we shall hope to see many more such tales in the succeeding numbers. The article beaded "Ascendancy by Captain Rock," is just what might be expected from its title; the Protestant party are unmercifully, scalped in every paragraph, and the Catholics as unmercifully eulogized. We are glad, how ever, to, find-that the writer, in the goodness of his heart, does justice to " the Ascendancy Consolation Dinners.". These last are, we are told, the very ,perfection of culinary genius—the beau ideal of gastronomy, and justify our favourite apothegm, that parties, like individuals, who know how to give a good dinner are entitled to very consi derable respect. " Stephen Sinnott's Plough" is an amus ing piece of diablerie, evidently, but not slavishly, imitated from Crofton's Croker's Fairy Legends. To this we do not object; ,the resemblances of talent are at all times ac ceptable; it is the servility of dulness only that is de testable. " The Lullaby," a poem, will, we should con ceive, be very popular in the nursery; `its intellect is hap pily adapted to its subject; with the exception of these two lines, " . oh, who can tell how bright they be The heavenly dreams of infancy ;". which are taken, without acknowledgment, from the fol lowing expreisive couplet, by Profespr Wilson, en a child sleeping : "Oh, who can tell what visions high, May bless an infant's sleeping eye." - We have just dipped into the "Life and . Times of Jeremy Dip," and have no hesitation in pronouning . it good. In deed, we may conclude as we commenced, with bestowing very high praise on this gossipping _little periodical; its Editor has launched it boldly out on the waters of public opinion; and from its specific _lightness, aided by good steerage, we have no doubt that it will safely reach port. If we can give it a friendly - puff, and so enable it to raise the wind for its voyage, we shall le happy to do so; but none seems at present wanting. ANNIHILATION of a FREE PRESS in FRANCE. s Nothing has been thought of or talked of here, for the last two or three days, but the new year and the new law on the press. The Marquis de Chaves and the Portu guese rebels, the King of Spain and the Apostolic Junta, the proceedings of the congregation, th e pl a t e o f Li ra Jesuits, the speech of Mr. Canning, and the debates in the Secret Committee, have all been forgotten in the conside ration of the important new year's gift which the Keeper of the Seals presents to the mind of France. There is not a writer, a journalist, a bookseller, or a printer, in Paris, (with the exception of the few who derive their means of existence from the Ministry) who does not exclaim against the ministerial project. Of some it will destroy the sup port,—of others it will diminish the income,—and to the public at large it must be offensive and injurious. Nobody unacquainted with the press of Paris, and the class of per sons who set it in motion, could be made sensible of th e extent of the multitude whom it will affect, or the degree in which it must be hurtful to their interests. The class of hommes des lettres in Paris, or, in other words, of those who, without private fortune, public employ ment, or recognized profession, reside in this capital and depend upon the use of their pen for the means of their svpport, is very numerous and powerful.— It consists of those who write for the theatres, who write for the journals, who conduct the whole periodical litera ture of the country, and who, with few exceptions, are the authors of all its popular works. In England you have, besides London, " Modern Athens," and Dublin, where books are made, reviews and newspapers • published, and literary men supported; but in France there are scarcely any considerable literary enterprises conducted out of Paris. When it is considered that in thii capital there are 12 or 13 theatres open every night in the year, and filled with spectators who make incessant demands for new pieces —that there are, besides the 10 or 12 political jour nals whose names are known to Europe, no less than nine daily journals devoted to the stage - and to the arts, whose names are never heard of • beyond the suburbs of- Paris—. that the booksellers, who supply with reading, not only France, but Belgium, and parts of Germany and Italy, are enabled to afford daily novelties, in the shape of histories, novels, abridgments of larger works, biographies, school books, political discussion, and other popular works, some idea may beformed of the vast number of persons who de pend for their subsistence on the press of Paris. In the. course of the year that has just expired, I have counted no less than 155 new theatrical pieces enumerated in the hills, and - represented on the differenr.stages. To each of the 20 or 30 journals there are attached a considerable number of writers, either as occasional contributors or constant redacteurs. Add to these the unattached body of authors who compose longer works, together with the [ extensive clasS of printers, publishers, and booksellers, who serve up the literary entertainment to nearly forty millions of people, and you have a very numerous host who declare that their interests are seriously endangered by the new project. . The manner in which those interests will be af f ected, it will be very easy to perceive, upon looking at some of the articles of the project, and comparing the changes which they render necessary with the existing state o f thi ngs. In the first place, with respect to journals, the new tax which the proposed law imposes must materially diminish their circulation. At present, a journal only pays about centimes, or about three farthings of duty, and is sold for twopence. By the new law, the duty will be nearly doubled, and, consequently, the journal cannot be sold for less than - threepence. By the present law, a half-sheet pays only a half of the duty; and consequently the small Journals were only charged the half of the duty paid by the Moniteur. By the proposed law, the increased duty is the same over all, within certain limits; and, if what are called the small journals are to exist, they must find their interest in enlarging the sire, and consequently increasing the price of their paper and printing. Now, people gene rally allow as much at present as they can well afford for the amusement of a journal ; this increased price must di minish the readers, and consequently the sale of the smaller journals. Again—the smaller journals at present require no deposit of security. The proposed law extends to them the provisions of a law for regulating political journals,. by which each of them Will be bound to give seeuiity to the enormous amount of 200,000 f., or about 8,0001. sterling. As the eight or nine literary! journals of which I have spoken are established principallyy! by literary men without any capital, and of course with, very little pecuniary credit, they will be altogether unable to afford the required amount of security, and consequently must be immediately suppressed on the enactment of the new law. Then, with respect to some of the existing political journals which possess extensive circulation, and enjoy property and credit, the new project must lead to plunder and confiscation. It enacts that no paper shall have more than five proprietors; and that these proprietors must unite the qualities mentioned in article 980 of thel Civil Code, or, in other words, must be males arrived at the age of majority.• By this article ' in case a widow or an infant•possesses a share in a j ourna l, they must part with it at whatever risk or loss.. They may be partners in canals,—they may be partners in manufacturing establish ments of every kind,—they may be partners in all commer cial enterprises,—bat they must not pretend to preserve_ their share in a journal; and though their very existence may depend upon the profits of one established by a hus band or a father, they roust be cut off by an er post facto law from the enjoyment of so well-merited and so just an income. The necessity of putting the names of all the ad mitted proprietors at the head of every number, roust corn pel those who wished to be sleeping partners to withdraw their capital entirely from newspaper enterprises; but the limitation of five proprietors is !still a greater evil. There are some papers, such as the Cwistitutiannel, which has more than double that number at present. The half of them, therefore, must transfer their shares, or the whole must sell out and dispose of their journal to a ne;v set of proprietors. By the new law, it will be observed, the scale of penalties is increased; but the enormity of penal ties, which may be avoided by Caution, is of little conse quence in the, face of the above Oactments of manifest in justice, agaiiisi" Which tui . fraenre can bua`r3. In looking at the article 'of the which relates to works with or beloW five sheets, mid which consequently applies to pamplets under eighty pages, you will see that from the extent of the duty to be imposed, scarcely any publication of this kind can henceforth make its appearance with any chance of a sale. The least price at a pamphlet could be sold wouldhe three franes, which would be equal to the phchase-money of a considerable Voluine. But the part of the' new pi•Ojece againSt Which th'e loadeit complaints are made, are those which relate to the regula tion of the printing bnsiness, and the depesit of cOpies be fore publication. The other enactments of the proposed measure may he.severe or oppressive, but this is at once pronoUnced to be absurd ; the other articles may be exe cuted, whatever evil they may produce, but this cannot be executed . to whatever benefit it might lead. No printer now keeps, or can keep, all the sheets of a work in his printing office till the day of publication ; and if he attempts to carry one copy to the person who dries the sheet or stitches them, he is liable to be prosecuted, as if he had published the work before making the deposit.. This • part of the project, which must have been concocted without con sulting a printer, will no doubt be altered during the dis cussion in the Chambers. It is extremely likely that the five and ten days for the reading of the copies by the au thorities will be retained in the new measure. During this time, as the liberals say, a copy will be sent to Mont- Rouge, for the perusal of the Jesuits ; another to the Chief of the Congregation; and the other three to officers as likely to detect libels 'against power where none exist. The first copy, then, issued for sale will be seized at the door of the printing-office, and the world will hear nothing of it, except by the trial of the author, publisher, and printer, be fore the Court of Correctional Police. At present, when the deposit and the publication take place simultaneously, the public can become judges of the work as well as the authorities, and the public prosectitoe may be deterred from his prey by the loud or general approbation which may precede his seizure. The justification pleaded by the Keeper of the Seals for the severe enactments of his project of law as against the journals, is the necessity of repre s si ng th e ir ab us e s o f per sonal character,; and checking their calumnious inroads on private life. Now, you must have observed, that the Frenelj. Political journals_ which go to. England are as free from personal slander as those of London, if not even more praiseworthy in that respect. The journals of the theatres, as they are called, sometimes make personal allusions, but even they seldom go beyond the limits of propriety in their attacks.- The only instance, for example, in which an allu sion has ever been made to the domestic situation of his Ex cellency himself, whose sister-in-law has managed his house hold since he discarded his wife, was in the Courtier of Sunday, and that in consequence of his charges against the press. -In England, a scandal of this kind against a 'Mi nister of the Crown would have been exposed with less reserve. It is not supposed that the law - can pass in its present shape. N. de Villele is said from the beginning to have been against it - . Count Darn, who so well knows the business of publishers and books e llers, has p re p are d a com plete exposure of that part of it which relates to the de posit of copies, and the prohibition of carrying sheets from the printing-officc till the authorities have perused the work. The booksellers and all the trades connected with print ing and bookselling are to petition the Chambers. Six.' teen of those trades meet by deputation at the house of Treuttel and Wurtz to-morrow, to concert measures to avert a common calamity. The highest judicial characters here are against the proposed law, and call it " a law of hatred and vengeance against human thought and public opinion." Tiu WEATHER.-The weather, which was pecu liarly mild last week, has undergone a sudden change, and winter has appeared with its usual severity. Snow commenced falling in town on Tuesday evening, and continued to descend, with but little intermission, until this morning.. —Dublin Patriot. • EARTHQUAKE.—About three o'clock p.m. on the 25th ult: a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Crawford, Leadhills, and Cravvfordjohn.
