The tables presented a beau tiful appearance, being decorated with ornaments from the Palace, which their Majesties most kindly snpplied for the occasion, together with several delicacies. A large party from the Pal ice graced the room with their presence. We have not room for the names of the company present. The sixth Almack's ball will take place to-morrow evening at the Old Ship, under the patronage of the Coun tesses Listotvel, De Sills, and Rosse, and the Marchioness of Downsbire.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR AN AMBASSADOR. s--Upon the assumption of Sextus V. the King of Spain sent the High Constable of Castille to congratulite his Holiness. The Pope took him gently by the chin, and asked if the dominions of his master were so thin of sub jects that he could not find an ambassador with a beard somewhat longer than his ? The Constable answered— If the King had been aware that merit consisted in a great beard, he would have sent a goat for his ambassador.

Sir,--We take leave to enclose a copy of a memorial lately sent from this place to the Lords of the Treasury, with a hope that as it relates to a measure of public in terest, and which ought to be more generally known, you will favour it with insertion. Ic is of sufficient import. ance to entitle it to the attentinn of the Legislature, and several Members of the House of Commons have engaged to give it their active support. We remain respectfully, JOHN and WILLIAM COLLIER. Plymouth, Jan. 25. "TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF HIS MAJESTY'S TREASURY. " The Memorial of the undersigned Merchants, Ship owners, Millers, Bakers, and others, inhabitants of the port of Plymouth, " Showeth,—Th it an extensive trade is carried on from the United States of America, and also from Hamburg, Dantzie, and other foreign places, by supplving the British colonies and shipping with the articles of flour and bis cuit, from which your memorialists are excluded by the restrictions of the present corn laws, inasmuch as the duties upon the importation of foreign corn generally amount to a prohibition of its use, and the price of British corn renders it impossible for the miller and baker in this country to compete with the foreigner, either as regards the supply of our own colonies, or other countries, with flour and bread, to the manifest injury of British skill and industry. " Your memorialists, without impugning the wisdom and policy of the law which enables the colonists to resort to the most advantageous market for obtaining their ne cessary supplies, humbly submit that they have just cause of complaint when they find themselves deprived of their accustomed employment, and the fruits of their industry transferred to foreigners, and enjoyed by those only of their fellow-subjects residing in Guernsey, Jersey, and other British islands, the more especially as they can de monstrate to your Lordships, that, notwithstanding the disadvantages arising from restrictions which your memo rialists necessarily labour under by the provisions of the existing laws, they might not merely compete with other countries in the supply of fl :ur and bread to our colonies, but also be enabled to export those articles to foreign places with advantage to themselves, without militating against the principle of the existing law, or in anywise affecting the agricultut al interest of the country. " The relief your memorialists seek is to be allowed, under proper securities and regulations, to manufacture foreign corn, now in bonded warehouses, and hereafter to be impored under the provisions of the corn laws, into flour and biscuit, for the purposes of exportation. To effect this desirable object, your memorialists take leave to suggest that a certain quantity of flour or biscuit, of a specified quality, shall be placed under the locks of the Crown for every quarter of wheat o laic!) may be delivered out of bonded warehouse for the purpose of being manu file:Aired into these articles, under the superintendence of the Customs, with sufficient securities to insure an equit able and commensurate return of manufactured goods for exportation, similar to the regulations (as far as the nature of the case will allow) recently adopted with regard to the sugar-refiners. "Your memorialists deem it unnecessary to trouble your Lordships with the particular details of the beneficial operations of the proposed measure, although, if required, they are ready to do so, because the plan will not, in their humble judgments, interfere with any existing interests ; but, on the contrary, will open an improved choice of markets to the colonists, and employment for our ship pin, and in nowise deprive them of the facilities which they now enjoy of resorting to foreign countries for their supplies, should they find it for their interest to do so, and will also benefit the agriculturist, by putting in active operation a hirge capital now locked up in foreign corn, which might be more profitably employed by investments in the produce of our own country. " Your memorialists, with the view of impressing upon your Lordships' minds the impottance of the trade now carried on by foreign States in the articles above-men tioned, beg to staie, that from the information they have received, there are annually exported from the United States of America, chiefly to the British possessions, up wards of 1,009,000 barrels of flour, besides vast quantities of biscuit, of which articles very considerable supplies are alto obtained from Hamburg and Dantzic, as well as i ron s the above-mentioned British islands, which wore, a few years sinc e , oiitoned excluei:Tly from the mother country. " Your tuemurialists, therefore, humbly pray, that your Lordships will he pleased to tak, the premise, :.ito your early and moss serious ccrisideration, and adopt such measures as in your wisdom may be deemed to enable your memorialists to manufacture foreign wheat flour and hiscait, f,r the purpose of e7.%mrtation, thereby ,11 ., :rtlir): additional freights fur our outward-bound ships, and the means of employment to a very us-ful and industrious class of operatives, who have been thrown out of wet k in consequence of restrictive laws, from which foreigners, as well as some portion of his Majesty's sub jects, are exempt. " Plymouth, D:c. 3." HUNGERFORD MARKET.—.A great im provement in the lower quadrangle of Hongerford Market is now in proge,ss, for enclosing a large space in the centre of the fish-mai ket, on an unique plan. An ornamental iron frame is nearly erect-6, which is to be covered with an iron roof, and will have a very h =Nome appearance when finished. This enclosure will protect the tr ,d, s. people who have articles to vend from the rain in wet weathrr, and the sun in summer, and will add consider. ably to the general convenience of the market. An , ,th , -r alteration has taken p'ace in the upp-r gallery, where tables are now ringed, and shops are fitting up, and may be converted iota a b: , .z ,ar, or appropriated to other pur poses: and the west wing, at the entrance from the Strand, is expected to be completed in the ensuing summer, which will complete the super!) buildin!, and will be a distin guished ornament to the improvements in that part of the Strand.

A MISER.—A miser who heaps up treasure which he never means to spend, is as idly employed as one who lays his puree before a looking. glass, and sits all day contemplating the useless duplicate of his wealth. MURDER.—W e learn from Capt. Waterman, of the brig Veto, of Brunswick, Maine, arrived on Wed nesday morning from Miracaibo, the following savage murder committed on board his vessel, while at Barburas, in the Lagoon of Maracaibo, at four o'clock a. m., on the 20th of November :—While getting under weigh, the cap tain ordered the pilot, a Spaniard, named Cruse Pass. whom he had taken on board at Maracaibo, to come off and take the helm. As he did not hear Capt. Waterman, the order was repeated by the mate, Mr. Merriman. The pilot refused to do so and mocked the mate, and on the mate insisting upon the order being obeyed, he (the pih , t).truck the mate with a belaying pin several times. The mate retreated back, and in self defence struck the pilot with a handspike. It being dark, the captain called to know the cause of the disturbance forward, when the pilot came aft, and told him the mate had struck him. The mate also came aft, and acknowledged that he had struck him, but stated it was in self-defence. Mr. Merriman (the mate), turned to go forward to his duty, when the pilot sprang upon him like a tiger, stabbed him in bis side and cut his throat from his ear to his windpipe. Mr. Merriman called to the captain that the pilot had stabbed him and cut his throat, staggered to the quarter-deck, and fell. Knowing hia time was short in this world, he requested the captain to convey his love to his wife• and family, and almost immediately died. While the captain and crew were assisting Mr. Merriman, the murderer jumped into the long-boat, which was along. side, cut the painier, and put off from the vessel. The small boat was immediately manned with five seamen, who started in pursuit ; when they came up with the boat he had escaped in he was tnissing, having jumped overboard and swam for the shore, which was half a mile distant: it being dark, they could not see him, and he escaped. Exertions were made by some of the inhabitants on shore to arrest him, but without effect. Mr. WlMint 0. Mer riman, the unfortunate murdered man, was first officer of the brig, and is a native of Brunswick (Maine), aged about 27 years; he has left a wile and child to mourn his untimely end. His attention to duty and gentle conduct bad endeared him to all on board the vessel, and his loss was very great. He was a stricly moral, capable, and attentive officer, a good husband, and kind father.--New York Standard. lIIPORTANT MEETING at SUNDERLAND. A numerous and highly-respectable meeting ol the shipowners, merchants, and traders of the port of Sunderland, was held in the Commission-room, Exchange-buildings, last week, for the purpose -of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the renewal of the reciprocity treaties, and of adopting such measures as may be deemed expedient to oppose the intended alteration in the duties on timber. JOHN HUBBARD, Esq., having been called to the chair, introduced the business of the meeting in a very able and excellent speech. J. SPENCE, Esq , then addressed the meeting neatly as fallows : "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—We are met to take into consideration subjscts of the highest im portance, connected with the shipping interest, the distressed state of which has been clearly proved before a Committee of the House of Commons. That distress has been felt, I am persuaded, by every man who is now listening to me, and I cannot but date it from the period when the reciprocity treaties were entered into in 1824. At that time freights from Quebec were 55:. per load, but last year they were 375. from the same place, and so low as 30s. from New Brunswick. The advantages given to foreign shipowners has oradually forced the British shipowner from the Baltic ; and it was impossible that competition could be sustained, when it is considered that the foreign ship is built and fitted for sea at about one third less cost than the British ship, whilst sea men's wages, provisions, and stores, are full one half in favour of our rivals.—(Hear, hear.) I had, last spring, - a ship suitable in every respect for the Baltic wood trade. A Captain and officers were appointed to navigate the ship, and at that time my firm were desirous of removing a quantity of timber and other goods to our yard in Sunderland. We, however, received a letter from our agent at Memel, stating that Prussian shipping could be supplied to us at from I4s. to 15s. per load ; but as we could not navigate our own ship, even without profit, at less than 20s. per load, we were, therefore, com pelled to employ the foreign vessel and suffer our own ship to remain useless. We naturally sup_ posed, after having clearly made out, before the House of Commons, a case of deep distress, we should have been at least commiserated, if protection was not afforded.—(Cheers.) The wisdom of our forefathers considered that the welfare of this isolated country depended upon its "'shipping, colonies, and commerce," and if protection was required for those great interests at the time when the navigation laws were enacted, bow much more do we require it now, when competition with the Baltic shipowner is impossible ? In lieu of commiseration and protection, we, are told, and we believe truly, that his Majesty's Ministers intend to alter the timber duties in such a manner as will cause the carrying trade to be further, if not altogether, thrown into the hands of foreigners.--- ( Hear, hear.) If such a measure—a measure fraught with so much ruin, be carried into effect. the consequence inevitably must be that upwards of 1,000 British ships will be thrown out of employ ment, and from 20,000 to 25,000 seamen will be come paupers.—(Cheers.) There is also another trade of vital importance to this port that will be lost by this destructive measure. The trade I allude to is, the ship-building; for it is a fact that there are generally here fifty ships at a time—this being the most extensive building port in the whole island. Those ships, on an average, cost 2,0001., and one is built on ;au average of time in three months, which makes a - trade in this port of 400,0001. a year. Now, this trade will be lost, for no one cen suppose that our ships can be wanted, when so many will be laid by the walls to rot.— (Hear, hear.) The immense number of peopls employed in the building of these ships—the ship carpenter, joiner, smith, sailtnaker, ropemaler, and all the diffetent artisans, will be thrown out of employment. Those of our colonies, which were protected with such fostering care by our ancestors, ,eeiss now to be little thought of; for, if Le lumber tri.de is lost to North America, that country is lost with it.—(Loud cheers.) There are many millions of capital laid out in that country in the erection and construction of extensive saw-miils, wharfs, and canals, all of which will be lost.— (Chsees.) Many, many thousands of emigants from this coun try, 'hat are now obtaining an honest living in the cutting, preparing, arid trarisp:)rting lumber to the shipping ports, will become destitme, and be com pelled to emigrate to the United States, who, no doubt, will receive them► with open arms, and give them that protection arid assistance which the mo ther country refuses.—(Hear, hear.) There was a time when the British shipowner viewed his ship with complacency ; he had a pride in keeping her in order, anti was enabled to do so, But now he looks on them coldly and I:silessly; they ate valueless— they yield him no profit; he cannot keep them in proper condition; many are going fast to wreck; and it is a lamentable fact, of which melancholy proofs can be brought forward, that the foreign ship is now the safest for the owner of goods to employ, for , hey have a remunerating profit, and are enabled to keep their ships in perfect repair. Should this iniquitous measure, the abolition of the timber du ties, be brought forward, I do hope sincerely there is not a single shipowner in the United Kingdom but will oppose the measure, as though lie was, and in truth will be, fighting for h:s very existence.— (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen must well know, that if their ships cannot be employed to give them a remunerating profit, their ships must be laid by the walls, and thus, unquestionably, both capital and interest will be lost." Mr. Spence concluded, amidst cheers, by proposing the first resolution. Sir JOHN STOREY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. JotiN SPENCE, Esq., hoped the meeting would allow the S.cretary to read the report of the Com mittee for managing the affairs of the North Ame rican Colonial Association.—(Hear.) It was a most valuable document, and had only been received from Mr. Alderman Tnompson, the worthy Member for the borough that morning.—(Cheers.) The Secretary then read the report alluded to. It contains much highly interesting matter. HENRY MOON, Esq., then rose, and, in propos ing the next resolution, said there were strong grounds of suspicion that Government would pro pose ar► alteration in the timber duties in the ensuing Session of Parliament, which would prove still more advantageous to foreigners, lie hoped, however, that meeting would expt.es its entire condemnation of such a step, and also declare its intention to op pose the same by every legal means.—(Cheers.) The motion was seconded by W. ORD, Esq., and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the next business of the meeting would be to nominate a Gimtnittee, to carry their views into effect. It would likewise he their duty to say of how many it should consist, and of Whom. Mr. BARRY wished the appointment of the Com mittee to rest with the Port Committee. The CHAIRMAN said that the meeting was not only composed of shipowners, but there were Members of the Chamber of Commerce and others present; it was therefore a mixed question. H. ORD, Esq. remarked that they had better choose a Committee from the present company, and then each interest would be represented. ROBERT SCURFIELD, Esq., said, that it was to the right utijustment of this duty that they locked for employment for the poor.—(Cneers.) No country could thrive Unless this was done, and they would find their profit in doing so. Mr. Scuifield, after some further remarks, nominated a Committee. CALEB WILSON, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. CALEB WILSON, Esq. having called the attention of the meeting to the eminent services rendered to the shipowners of Sunderland, as well as to the Chamber of Commerce, by Alderman Thompson, JOHN SPENCE, Esq., proposed a vote of thanks to the Alderman, which vezonded by HENRY MOON, Esq., avid carried ht se , lamation. Thanks were then vo , ed to A. Gilmour, Eql., or Glastyow, for the impo , t, , nr H - ormation communi cated by him, !:nd to ih? Chair, no for his impartial conduct.--Adjourned. THE MURDER AT GREENWICH. An inquest was held yesterday at Greenwich Hospital, before C. J. CARTTAR, Esq., Coroner, on the body of John Miley, the Greenwich pen sioner, who was murdered by another prisoner, rimed Ward. Several witnesses having been examined, who nirrated the facts as they have already been pub lished, with little variation, The CORONER proceeded to sum up the case to h e Jury. He observed, it had been clearly proved chat the deceased came by his death in consequence of some wounds having been inflicted in his left breast, but by whom those wounds were inflicted had not been so clearly established. Taking, how ever, the whole of the circumstances into conside ration—that there were only three persons in the room when the melancholy circumstance took place, that one was incApable of getting out of bed, and hat the decea' ed could not have inflicted those wounds on himself as he had lost his right arm—it was evident that Ward must have been the man who committed the murder. The Learned Coroner then explained to the Jury the opinions of several of the Judges upon offences committed by persons at the time they were alleged to be in a , tale of insanity, and observed that it was for the Jury to ware whether they considered that, Ward was or not in a state of insanity. The Jury consulted together about half an hour, and then returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against James Ward." John Bailey, the deceased, was sixty-four years of age. He was admitted into the Hospital on the 6th of March, 1824. He was a native of America. He lost his right arm when on board an East India man, and was wounded in the leg in the Sir Francis Drake. He had been seven years in the service when admitted into the Hospital, and was allowed a pension of 71. It was stated that his wife resides at Rotherhithe. James Ward is forty.four years of age. He was admitted into the Hospital on the 6th of December, 1832, after nearly thitreen years' service, and was ;illowed a pension of 91. 4s. He is a single man, and was stated to be a naive of Croydon. The prisoner will be conveyed to Maidstone gaol as soon as he is in a fit state to be removed. THE LACE STORMS. Between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock last after noon, as the Clarence steamer, on her way from Kilrush to Limerick,approached Grass Island, three teen were perceived waving their hats and making eager signals for assistance, the steamer then run ning- at about nine knots an hour, with the wind from the south-west, blowing hard. Captain Bing ham, with great promptitude and humanity, had the engines stopped and the sails slackened, so as to keep to the windward of the island, and drift a:: near to it as the safety of his vessel would allow. In the mean time preparations were made to launch and man the jolly-boat, which was despatched to the shore, at the edge of which the three poor ft-flows were anxiously awaiting the boat, as they had sup . posed that the steamer, from the rapid rate at whiC:, she was sailing, as well as her distance, the swell of the Shannon, and squalls, could not stop to take them from their perilous position ; but they were most agreeably disappointed, and having been brought on bon d the Clarence, they gave their names—viz., Patrick Horrogan, Pa t rick Blake, Thomas Kean, with the folloa ing narrative : Last Tuesday week the Mary, of Carrigaholt, laden with beans, the property of Michael Cum ming, left that place for Limerick. Patrick Hort o gan had the ina:lagement of the boat, assisted b y Peter IVl'Mahon Ertl Scanlan, boatmen, and M'lnery, Cumming's clerk; after having sold the b-atiQ, the boat was abandoned by all the men except Horro gan, with whom they generously left one worth of potatoes for his sustenance while in Lime rick and on his voyage home. Poor Horrogan con trived to maintain himself as well as he could among the boatmen at the Quay (reserving his potatoes for support during his trip ro Carrigaholt )until next morn ing ( Friday),whcn Blake anti Kean agreed to accom pany him ; they set sail at 8 o'clock, and got on well till they reached Soil Islaad,when the wind blew hard, and they struggled to make way; but off Grass island, the rudder was cirried away, the boat struck upon a rock, sprung a leak, and made water so fast, that in order to save their lives they determined to quit her. Hotrogaa was the only man of the party that could swim, and having fastened the peak halyards about his shoulders he swam ashore, by which he succeeded in saving the lives of his com rades. Kean, who had received 5/. for beans in Limerick, when he got to the land began to bewail the loss of his money, upon which Horrogan, feeling gratitude to him and Blake for their kindness in accompanying him, swam off to the boat, and got out of the box in which the money was kept Keitne's 51. and 701. which Blake had received for his em ployer, Mr. Kean, of Carrigaholt, and having put the whole of the money into a stocking, tied it round his neck, with the notes at the back of it, put a new hat of Blake's on his head, and a pair of new shoes, which also be longed to Blake, and brought them all safe to the island. The boat soon after sunk. The men re mained on the island from eleven till a quarter past three, when they were fortunately saved by Ciptain Bingham; arid, from the state of the weather, they must have inevitably perished if left on the island for the night. If the steamer had not been detained most providentially at Kilrush on Thursday, these poor fellows would have been lost. To the Hu mane Society we most earnestly recommend Hor rogan, for the fearless and manly efforts he made to save the lives and the money too of his comrades (Blake arid Keane). A small gratuity would be to him of vast value, and he deserves it most richly.— Limerick Chronicle. INCENDIARISM. HALESWORTH (SUFFOLK), JAN. 2G.—On Friday morning, about five o'clock, there was another " Switag" fire in this neighbourhood. The fire was in the stack-yard of Mr. James Taylor, of Spexhall, which is only about two miles from Halesworth, and is on the Norwich road. Owing to timely dis covery it was happily limited to one stack; that, however, was a large wheat stack, and it was en tirely consumed. Mr. Taylor, %Cthose property was thus designedly destroyed, is the father-in-law of Mr. James Johnson, the minister churchwarden of Halesworth, whose straw stack was burnt on the night of Christmas-day, and for the author cf wh i ch devastation the extraordinary reward, raised by sub• scription, of .57.5/. has been offered. That reward, as yet, seems to have had anything but the proper and desired effect; instead of leading to the disco very of the culprits, it appears only to have di rected blind vengeance against parties who were concerned in, er contributed to the reward of 5751, which is offered in bills exhibited in all the shopkeepers' windows here, and circulated largely in the county. Since the reward which was; offered for the fire at Mr. Johnson's, a threatening letter, of the most decided character, as far as words can go, has been sent to Mr. Johnson; arid the hos tility has been extended by setting tire to the stack. of one of the principle subscribers to the reward— Mr. F. Robinson, of Dunwich. Mr. Johnson was also a subscriber. Daring the extensive fire at Holton (three-quarters of a mile from Mr. John , ion's, of Halesworth), where so many corn-stacks were consumed, the labourers present evinced so much levity on th e ir return, that it seemed as it they were coming from ' a fair, and not from the destruction of property that had caused so much consternation in the country round, While the extensive fire at Mr. Prime's, Holton, as raging, the agricultural labourers not only refused to assist in subduing the fire, but ,hey occupied the time in the most wanton and tout manner. They entered the house of Mr, ?time, and consumed or carried off all the eatables that they could gain possession of, consisting of •Jickled pork, some gallons of spirits, &c. It is ex pected that a meeting will take place in the course of a few days at the Angel Inn, Halesworth, to con coct measures to arrest, if possible, the progress of these acts of incendiarism, and which have, in spite of the enormous reward offered to detect criminals, -o rapidly multiplied, and spread so much alarm around this neighbourhood. It is understood that the Earl of Srradbroke has agreed to take the chair on this occasion. His Lordship promptly forwarded ills subscription towards the reward of 5751. namely 500 guineas from subscribers, and 501. from the Insurance Office. Tuesday evenin g an attempt was made to set tire to a barn filled with corn, the property of Mr. T. Ward, of Slleby, by throwing an ignited child's cotton sock through a hole in the barn.wall. For tunately Mr. Ward, jun., happened to be near at the time, and observing what had taken place, im mediately removed the cotton sock from the barn and took the depredator into custody, whom he afterwards found in the shop where he was employed as a stocking-maker. He is a youth, named Napo leon Burroughs, about 18, who has since undergofte an examination before the Rev. J. Dudley, and been committed for the offence. A strong feeling of in dignation was manifested throughout the village 'owards the offender on the circumstance becoming known, especially as the individual to whom he thus intended so serious an injury is generally respected. Burroughs had been some time before overheard to declare h:s intention to do Mr. Ward an injury the first opportunity.—Leicester Chronicle. GENERAL LLAUDER. (From the Times.) The following particulars of an officer who makes some figure in the passing history of the day are furnished by a gentleman personally acquainted with him, and extremely conversant also in Spanish af- fairs generally : _ ' 6 Llauder, not Llander, as the papers both in France and England cab him, is a Royalist, and had been so no. torious for his persecution of Liberals, that be could never have expected to possess power 48 hours under Constitu tional Spain. He is now about 45 years of age, a Cata ionian born, brought up from bis youth in one of the Irish brigades, and raised to the rank of Captain by the cele brated General Lacy, to whom he owed all his good for tut.e up to the year 1814. General Lacy, it will be re membered, disgusted with the return of his country to Asolutism in 1817, attempted a military revolution. which entirely failed, in the vicinity of Barcelona, and he had to effect his escape, with some other unfortunate officers. The regiment in which Llauder was then , erring was quartered in Barcelona, and sent out in dill rent directions in pursuit of Lacy and bit fugitive companions; hut General Castanet, who was there in command of the province, and who Lad great esteem for Lacy, give secret instructions to the Colonel of Llauder's regiment not to overtake Lacy even if be could, but to let him get into France. This order was communicated to the officers, amongst whom was Llauder, who was sent with his company in a different direction from the rest of the regi ment, ant', in fact, where it was known his old friend and benefactor had directrd his course, supposing him the last man in Vie world likely to injure General Lacy ; but Llauder was ambitious, and forgot all his obliga• tions to Lacy, seeing that by his capture honours and preferment were open to him. He travelled by forced marches and took L icy prisoner, who in a few weeks aferwards was shot. Upon the news of the Gene• rays capture, the King toads Llauder Colonel and Brigadier-General. The constitution of 1820 then ;,iurot nn eelrim z French enteringintFrarecanl Spain in s. L obscuritythree.fo l r s2 y ~ , d ea j es er; again figured conspicuously, till all was quiet, when he was promoted by Ferdinand to the high post of Inspecior- General of Infantry in Spain. In this post he remained until after the three " gloi ions" days of Paris. when well founded fears were entertained that the refugee Spa ui lids would enter Spain. An army was ordered to the frontiers; Ll alder, tired of being chef de bureau, tvai•ei on the King, lord him his sword hat been too lime idle, and prayed to be named Cornrn order of the Army and Vic ruv of Navarre. The King complied. and Llauder soon exterminated the invad•ng tebeli, givinz no quarter o those eh r fell into his hands. His next ambition was to become Cap am General of his n itive provOinie, and wt."r sue bite King recovered from his severe illness, he iedueed h m to name him to Catalonia, in the twin, of Espana, and ever since he has been trying to win the ilea.. and gond wishes of his countrymen. Fr,an these circumstances it can he seen how be must dread consritu. tional principles. He is as ienorant as he is atnltitious, and this may lead him to aspire to he absolute Prince of Cal alumna." HORACE WALPOLE'S LETTERS TO Slit HORACE MAN.—" If compered to the correspondence of Walpole which has been previously published, arse letters will he fount to abound more in political information, and convets itional anecdote. This arises from the situation of his cm respondent, who, being our Envoy at Florence, was of course greatly interested in the political information that might reach him from the Cabinet of England. Toe cc c of the gay, the aceotnpli.hed, the witty, the care less Lord Carteret ; the close, reserved Mr. Pelham ; the Watling, vapouring, chattering Duke of Newcastle; the portraits of his old uncle Horace, of Lord Bath, of the Duke of Cumberland, are admirable, painted with the freedom and spirit of Vandyck: while the slighter sketches —the Princess of Craon (called Mimic), Lord Carteret, the Duchess of Qiieensbury, Lady Orfoid, Lady Pomfret, and Mrs. Pulteney, whom he called the wife of B:dh, squabbling at the gate with St, Peter for a halfpenny, have all the lightness, the grace, the eleganc , , it is possi ble to give. The very portraits seem to slide down from the frames, and appear the living models before us."— Gentleman's Magazine, January, 1834, About four months since the Hampstead Water Company commenced digging a well near the large reservoirs on Hampstead Lower Heath, which was intended to supply a large reservoir on the top of Hampstead ileath, and so be conveyed to the inhabitants of the neigh bouring places. A few days ago the miners, after digging to the dept') of 460 feet from the surface, came to a rock, and after boring it with an augur, the water suddenly rushed forth with such violence, that the three poor fellows rang the alarm bell, and all of them got into a single bucket, clinging tightly to the ropes, leaving their imple ments at the bottom ; the water then rose rapidly, and in a few hours reached the height of 160 feet. The water is extremely so't and applicable for domestic uses. FEMALE PRECEDENCE.—The order of pre cedence, as it affects the daughters of peers, has some thing very strange in it. It may not Wimps be general:y known that unit arried daughters have always the same rank as their eldest brother, during the lifetime of the faa ther ; awl this independent of the particular title which by courtesy the brother may hem For instance, a Duke's eldest son ranks as a Marquis, consequently, all his sisters unmarried have the rank of Marchioness, though he him self should be nominally but an Earl or Baron; " - for the title of Marquis being less ancient than the latter, is not the second title of the oldest and highest Dukes of the realm. The Duke of Norfolk's eldest son is only Earl of Surrey, and the Duke of Somerset's eldest son but Baron Simour. Still their daughters would all rank as Mar chionesses till they married, and, under particular circum stances, ever, afterwards ; which forms one of the stranzeit anomalies of all. For if a Duke had ten daughters, ihrce of whom were to marry Earls, three Viscounts, and three Barons, and tenth and youngest should marry her father footman, the latter would retain the rank of Marchioness, and go before all her eldest sisters, though every one o 4; teem he peerrsseg. Let us suppose that the young e st soil of a Duke, Lord Francis, should marry the daughter of a Duke, Lady Frances—being a commoner, his Lordship's rank, as the youngest son of a Duke, would be below a Viscount, while her Ladyship. continuing a Duke s daugh ter, might assume the rank iif Marchioness; all dep-ntliog upon the retention or disch urge of a single letter, little e or little i! If, alter her marriage, her Ladyship shout( choose to call herself by the name of her lord, L olv Fran cis, she would go below Viscourre.s.es ; if (which she would have a full right to) she should retain her own name, and c4ll herself Lady Frances, she would precede not only Viscountesses but Countesses. The c infusion, however, might not stop here.—Let us further suppose that his Alates.y should be pleased to call the noble Lord up to the House of Peers, by the title of Baron S.l.incl-so —how strange woad the state of things be now !
