LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, .JANUARY 3. 1834. (No. 12,891.) (PRICE 7n.) ADMIRALTY, SOMERSET PLACE, JAN. 2, 1834. HALF-PAY TO NAVAL OFFICERS AND OFFI CERS OF THE ROYAL MARINES. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, t h at on the receipt in the Wages Department, at the Ad miralty-office, Somerset -place, of the affidavit required from each Officer by his Majesty's Orders in Council, a Bill for the amount of the half-pay due will be made out in this Department, which will be payable by the Trea surer of his Majesty's Navy, on the following days, viz.— On the 10th and 11th January. To Masters, Sur geons, and Pursers, and their Attorneys. On the 13th, 14th, and 15th January. To Lieutenants at ss. a day and under, and their Attorneys. On the 16th and 17th January. To Lieutenants at 7.1. and 6s. a day, and Chaplains and their Attorneys. On the 20th, 21st, and 22d January. To Admirals, Captains, Commanders, and Retired Commanders, and their Attorneys. Great inconvenience having been experienced by the claims of Officers who have not chose to receive their half-pay on the days fixed for their ranks, being preferred on the days appointed for the payment of half-pay to Officers of different ranks, Notice is hereby given, that no such claims can in future be attended to on the days not appointed for Officers of those ranks; but for the accom -weedation of such Officers, and olio for the catnveniewe of those who may not have transmitted their affidavit suffi ciently early to admit of payment on the above mentioned days, a recall will take place on the 24th and 25th of January. After which the half-pay will be payable on the first and third Wednesday in every month, excepting during the general payment of half-pay. Officers residing in or near London, and wishing to receive their half-pay in person, are requested to deliver their affidavits into the Wages-offices, Somerset-place, and transmit them to the Secretary of the Admiralty imme diately on the expiration of each quarter; and those em ploying agents are also requested to furnish their agents with their affidavits as promptly, for unless such docu ments are early delivered into this office, delay in the payment must unavoidably ensue. It sometimes happens that officers apply personally for their half-pay, without having previously sent in their af fidavits, as required by the usual advertisements. Any delay or inconvenience to which they might be subject by this oversight, it is in the power of the officers themselves to prevent by an adherence to the existing regulations. Under the authority of the Statutes relating to the pay of the Navy, besides the abovementioned modes, officers may receive their half-pay in any of the following ways, 82, CiIEAPSIDE. rill ROBERTS begs to acquaint his Friends T • and the Public, that he is enibled to offer them AaTICLES of CLOTHING, combining durability, ftsbion, and elegance, at the following low prices, viz.:— Petersham Great Coats £2 0 0 to 2 1.2 0 GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

The chief features in the plot of this drama are Matthew Lubeski (Mr. COOPER), a Polish nobleman, who, in consequence of having taken a decided part in the revolt of his country, has been reduced to great privations, and is livin; with his daughter, Augusta (Miss Ponies), in the apartments of Creandy (Mr. WEBSTER). The latter, an "easy man," against his own will, pitying the destitute condition of his lodger, recommends him to apply to his landlord, Beeswing (Mr. FAR - KEN), a rich old bachelor, a mixture of sterling phi • lanthroplay and hot strongheadedness, who is in want of a steward, and the old gentleman so much admires the noble character of the exile, that be invites him to reside with him as his friend, and ,if erwards sends for Lubeske's daughter, with the intention of making them both happy. It appears that the rich man has nt exten sive sums on mortgage to a noble lord, of whom we see nothing, whose daughter Margaret (Miss TAYLOR), an unsophisticated gill, who has been educated in retireinery, is to marry Clarendon (Mr. KING), a young gentleman lately returned from his travels, Beeswing's nephew : an-1 the !ender Las agree',len the . :eremony which is shortly_ to be performed has token place, to give back to the har rower all the title deeds belonging to the nobleman now in Cie former's possession ; and it also appears that Augusta, having observed her father's utter destitution, has, with out his knowledge, employed herself as an assiyant to a i•elebrated milliner, and is engaged to make " the wed ding gown" for the happy occasion. But the fair bride has placed her affections on an old playmate, _Effingham (Mr. BRINDAL), and is not at all inclined towards the hush ind who has been provided for her, while the happy iTitlegroom has also a similar entanglement with a lady he ad known at Dresden, which is no other than Augusta. The nephew having discovered the object of his adoration o near him, after an interv!ew with her, informs his uncle of the impossibility of his marrying the Lady Margaret, having already fixed his choice elsewhere ; out the old gentleman is determined that the affair shall be arranged according to his own plan, an i refuses, in a rage, to hear his kinsman's remonstrances, although his new friend .Lubeski endeavours to per ,tiade him to act differently. The lively Margaret, how ever, will not be persuaded into matrimony with one she dislikes, so she privately marries her Gentleman exactly an hour " by Shrewsbury clock" before tLe ceremony is to continence which would wed her to another. As soon as she returns from her clandestine nuptials, the milliner (the lovely Augusta) arrives with the wedding gown, in the full conviction that the dress she has been making is to adorn the wife of her own lover ; but after a series of embarrassing circumstances, which add much to the in terest of the piece, the mystery clears, the uncle gets rid of his passion, and becomes wonderfully good.naturrd, teats up the title deeds, consents to his nephew's mar riage, and the young Lady is allowed to wear the wedding gown she had made for another. There are same fine scenes in this play, which were admirably acted; and we think, with judicious curtailment, it may meet with success. NAVAL AND MILITARY LIBRARY OF ENTERTAINMENT.

GIANT FAMILY.—At ithindwald, in Swit zerland, the postmaster and landamman of the district is a fine man of about fifty, who is nearly seven feet high. His wife is above six feet ; and of seven or eight children, sons and daughters, the former are all above six feet six, and the girls above six feet. The Bardaster, which recently sailed from Liverpool, had on board Thomas Potter Macqueen, Esq., late M.P. for Bedfordshire, who has purchased an exten sive lot of land in New South Wales, on which he has gone to reside, for the purpose of cultivating the same, and also to assist in the establishment of a whale fishery in that part of the world. Lieutenant-Colonel St. Clair, who is about to publish the narrative of his " Residence in the West Indies and South America," commenced his military career under the auspices of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, who was colonel of the Ist or Royals. He received his commission as ensign of that regiment in 1803, obtained his lieutenancy in 1804, and the following year was or dered on active service to the West Indies and Guiana, where he remained till 1808, during which time he was promoted to a company. While stationed in the colonies of Demerara, Berbice, and Essequibo, ceded by Holland to the British in 1803, Captain St. Clair was alternately en • gaged in exploring the country in hunting and shooting excursions, in quelling revolts of the negroes, and in visit. ing the estates of the principal planters. He was present at the siege of Flushing in 1809, and subsequently acted as major, lieutenant-colonel, and full colonel, under Major- General Lord Beresford, in the Peninsular war, from 1810 to 1820. A laughable mistake was made by a game keeper at Holkham, after being out with one of the Bour- bon Princes, attended by a foreign servant, who, at tile springing of every ben pheasant, cried out to his master, " Poule" (Hen). Mr. Coke, at night, inquired what sort of a shot the Prince was ! to which the keeper an. swered, " I thought, Sir, you had been the best shot in the world until I saw his Highness, who shoots as well; and if he had pulled as often as the French fellow desk , d him, he would have killed all the pheasants on your ItOr. flour's estate." The poor cock-pheasant is on all occasions the unpitied victim— " Ali! what avail his glossy, varying dies, His purpled crest, and scarlet circled eyes, The vivid green his shining plumes unfold, His painted wings, and breast that flames with gold." MURDER.—During the night of Biddy last a most shocking murder wa' committed at Chester fiel the particulars of which are as follow :--A person of the name of Whittaker, who had been in the constant habit of ill-treating his wife, returned hotne on Friday night in a state of intoxication. After they had been in bed some time, the apprentice boy heard the cry of " Murder,"and much quarrelling taking place in his master's bedroom. This, however, being so frequent an occurrence, he did not take any notice of it. The next morning when he got up he did not find any one stirring as usual. He sat in the house until noon, when he got his dinner, and was not alarmed, inconsequence of his master and mistress often lying late. He continued in the house until evening, when he became fearful something had happened to them, and then went to his father's house. The lad, his father, and the brother of Whittaker, returned to the premises, and went up stairs, where they found both Whittaker and his wife in bed, quite dead. Whittaker's throat was cut, and his wife's also from ear to ear. An infant child was also in bed between them, nearly dead, and immersed in blood, the whole presenting, as may be conceived, a most horrid spectacle. The bodies were buried, of course, without the funeral rites, the woman on Monday afternoon, and Vie man during the night.•—Derby Mercury.
