SPANISH AND ITALIAN REFUGEES• Yesterday a Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Ward of Bishopsgate took pl a ce at the School house, in consequence of the following requi sition, which was signed by a great number of the Inhabitants : To Sir Richard 1% Glyn, Bart., Alderman of the Ward of Bi s hopsgate, or his Deputies. " Sir—We, the undersigned inhabitants of the above Ward, request you will convence a meeting of the Ward on an early day, to take into c onsideration !be propriety of making a col lection throughout the IVerd, in aid of the fund now rais icg to relieve the distressed Spanish and Italian Refugees in this country." Mr. Deputy GREENAWAY, in consequence of the absence of Sir R. C. Glyn, who was obliged to attend his public duties at Guildhall, took the chair at a little after 12 o'clock. The notice sent round to the inhabitants stated the hour of meeting, but there were but few even of those who signed the requisi tion present at the appointed time, in consequence, it is sup posed, of the general impression that the business would not commence until one o'clock. Mr. Deputy GREENAWAY, in taking the chair, said, it was with feelings of the highest gratification he presided in the ab sence of the Alderman, on an occasion which had so powerful a claim upon the humanity of the people of England. He was proud that the inhabitants of Bishopsgate Ward had always testified the strongest desire to interpose the hand of charity whenever misery made • its appearance. Perhaps the condition if the unfortunate men whose sufferings they were called to gether to pity and alleviate, was one of the most powerful ar guments that had ever been used in an appeal to the benevo lence of a free and enligtened people.—(Applause.)—The Ward of Bishopsgate had, in the persons of some of its inabi tants, already sent a contribution, which was added to the fund; and he regretted that the example had not been follow ed by any other Ward in the' city. He, however, relied upon the power of the obligation to assist the unfortunate claimants for an accomplishment of the object. Political dissention could have no refuge in the consideration of the question. All party feeling was merged in the great reality that those who now ap pealed were destitue and friendless, except in their hopes from the people of this country.—(Applause.)—Helamented to see that the meeting was so thinly attended, but he could not at tribute that circumstance to any falling off of the spirit which so rapidly and vigorously prevaded all ranks of the people. Some gentlemen here spoke of the propriety of an adjourn ment, in consequence of the absence of most of the requisi tionists. Mr. WHITE was of opinion.. that many might have stayed away upon the presumption that as the emergency was great and notorious, there would be no occasion for leaving private business to give a sanction which had already been sufficiently testified by the voice of the public. He had, he said, a resolu tion to propose to the meeting. To that resolution the Lord Mayor had objected at the wardmote on St. Thomas's day, as his Lordship thought the subject a deviation from the regular course of proceeding. He now thought he might submit the resolution, which he was sure could not be objected to on any tenable grounds ; for no one could doubt that the unfortunate refugees had been the victims of the most detestable persecu tion, and that their claims were heightened by the fact that they were thrown into their present condition on account of the noble efforts they made for theredemption of their country from slavery. It was here suggested that the resolution, as there were some inhabitants of the Ward who might object to it, would be more properly postponed. This led to a conversation upon the subject of adjournment, which gave rise to a very interesting discussion. Mr. KING declared that he had learned-from gentlemen who had been a considerable time in Spain, that the Refugees, whom the Ward was called upon to assist, were men of the most exalt ed characters. Independently of the claim which misfortune had, taken abstractedly, upon those who were prosperous, it surely became a duty to save from--want men who had distin guished themselves in the cause of liberty. Mr. CoRDELL thought the meeting ought not to he post poned. He hoped that, notwithstanding the apparent apathy which prevailed, a full effect would be given to the object of it, and that a general and vigorous excitement would be I given to the public feeling throughout the metropolis ; for if the public feeling were permitted to sleep, nothing could awake it . to its former energy and direction. Meet ings would, he trusted, be held not only in every ward in the city, but in every parish in every part of the country, for the service of individuals,- who were known to the -world to have suffered as patriots in their opposition to the most gall ing and odious despotism and oppression at which human nature had every occasion to shudder. He was satisfied at the manner in which the cause of the sufferers had been introduced. It had been brought forward upon the principle of humanity alone; but he did not think that an allusion to the former great con dition and glorious but unfortunate enterprize of the refugees would have diminished the interest which their calamities ex cited. had they been the victims of the constitutional party, and not of the oppressors--had they been the supporters of the iron sceptre of Ferdinand, and not the defenders of the liberties of their country, and thrown themselves upon the mercy of our Succour, they would not have been disappointed.—(Applause.) They would have found that the vice of their cause would not have checked the impulse of humanity. Why, then, should the acknowledged virtue of their endeavours be an impediment to the success of the efforts in their behalf? When the names of Mr. Canning, Mr. Peel, Mr. S. Wortley, and others, of whose tenets the world was informed, appeared mixed up in the subscription with the names of men with whom they were in eternal political conflict, it was evident that a sympathy with the cause of their misfortune could not operate to its neglect or aggravation. It would, it must prove an additional motive for .the greater exercise of charity. Mr. KING said, that every one of the refugees was prevented by the purity of his principles from returning to his native country, so long as it remained oppressed by men•whosc autho rity was either openly aided or tacitly avowed. Mr. NORTH was of opinion that the Ward could not be pledged to any act of the present meeting, which so few of the "inhabitants attended. If they were to proceed to business, and vote for a subscription, they must determine to call on each in habitant for his contribution. The thing would, he thought, look like i political getting up, and would not be likely to be Tel sh ed. Sir U . r.Lrax Rawr,rs.s thought there was an apathy amongst the inhabitants upon the subject, and he did not be .liave that apathy would be removed by the project of going übout from house to house for contributions. Humanity had ,its opportunities, as there were many places in the city where : subscriptions could he received for the Refugees. " Mr. WHITE said, it was necessary to give a stimulus to the -subscription now going forward, as it was the nature of all ...things of the kind to flag without some prompt excitement. All that had been argued upon as an impediment to the cause he considered as an advantage. So long as the want existed, and _persecution was known to be the cause of that want, it would . not be useless to appeal to the people of this country, either collectively or individually. He would not objectto the adjourn ment of the question. The question was then postponed upon the understanding that it is speedily to be brought forward again. Mr. WHITE then called the attention of the Meeting to a . subject in some measure connected with the former. It would, . he said, be recollected, _that a Meetin. , had been held in that spirited Ward for a subscription for the widow of the unfortu nate murdered Riego, at which 50 guineas had been collected. He was one of those who presented the contributions to the un happy widow, who was then pining, and whose death was no doubt caused by the melancholy fall of her husband. He felt strongly the necessity of doing at that time what there was a hundred times greater necessity for doing now. It was his duty to read a letter which he received from the Canon Riego, containing an extract from the will of his diseased sister-in-law. _The words expressed her high sense of the support and kind -ness she had met with in this country, into which .she was thrown by the political tempests which convulsed her own ; and manifested her anxiety, in her departing moments, to her gratitude to those citizens who had so benevolently succoured her in her destitute state. He then read an extract of the letter. Mr. CORDELL said, •it was with great difficulty a Meeting was got upon the subject just alluded to, but there was none in getting the subscription. It would be just the case with the question relative to the Refugees. After thanks were voted to the Deputies of the Ward, the Meeting broke VP- THE WEATIISR.—It is stated, on the authority of a Gentleman in Boston, who regularly keeps a meteorological table, that the weather on Christmas-day was not so cold by two degrees as it was on the 23d of June last. • Formerly it was a maxim, that a young woman should never be. married till she ha d s p un a set of body, t a bl e, herself and bed linen. From this . custom all unmarried women were termed spin sters, an appellation they still retain in all deeds ...aud law proceedings. A METAMORPHOSIS. A strange story respecting the conduct of the Governor of one of our colonies is in circulation. It has been mentioned by the individual employed principally in the trans action, to the amusement of his friends. A Captain of a ship, which constantly trades to the colony, was authorized to purchase a pack of fox hounds in England, for the use of the Governor. He made the purchase, but, upon reaching his destination, and calling at the house of the Governor, which was on the coast, at some distance from the town, he was informed by him that, unforturately, the hounds were of no use to him, as he had made up a pack in the colony. " But," said he, " stay, I mustn't lose them. Let me see-1 have keep the pack you have brought over, and I'll send my old hounds to market."—" flow can that serve you ?" said the Captain. " Your hounds must .be well known in the country, and every one can see that they are not English." " AY," said the Governor, - " but I can make them English."— Make them English !" cried the Captain in astonishment, by what sort of, preparation ?" " I'll.show you that," re plied the other . ; and immediately got a quantity of yellow oker and other paint, and daubed the dogs in such a manner that their mothers would not have known them. He then put them , on board the Captain's vessel, unshipped the new pack, and ordered the ship up to the town to unload her cargo. As soon as the vessel was discharging, a report was sent throughthe town that a fine p ac k o f E ng li s h f o x-hounds was just .arrived. The Governor heard the report as well as the rest of the inhabitants, and was present when the dogs were put up to auction. He admired the pack vastly, and was so anxious to have them, notwithstanding his own old supply, that he could not help bidding for them, whest he saw that such beautiful English hounds were likely to go oft' at three or four guineas each. The liberal part he-took upon the occasion soon TUE REVENUE. No. I. ABSTRACT of the NETT PRODUCE of the REVENUE of GREAT BRITAIN, distinguishing the Quarters.

The thing could not long remain with out detection • but the G overnor li tt l e thoug h t that he would be supposed to • be concerned in the trick, as the Captain was to sail immediately, and would, it was calculated, carry off along with him the whole onus of the transaction. The purchaser of the dogs took them out to try their worth ; and after scouring the country returned, and was proceeding towards home, when he saw his newly-purchased pack make towards the Governor's pre mises, between which and the place in which they had been running, there was a great stream of water. He followed and called them. but they were not so easily to be diverted from their old quarters. They plunged one and all into the water, and, to the astonishment of their new master, presented, upon reaching the other side, an appearance quite different from that in which he had purchased them. Supposing that they were seized with some desperate English distemper, he went af ter them no further, but next day wrote to the Governor, who happened to be at home, wheuall his old hounds entered in their old clothes. We understand that the Governor, as the old pack was universally known to be his, found it necessary to re fund the money, particularly as the Captain had not yet sailed for England.—(Times.)

Yesterday both Ilouses of Parliament re-assembled, pursuant to the period named at the last prorogation. The LORD CHANCELLOR soon after two o'clock entered the House of Lords, preceded by the mace, which was laid on the Woolsack, the seat usually occupied by his Lordship. The Learned Lord took his seat on the bench fronting the Throne, and between that and the Woolsack, such bench being exclu sively appropriated to those who act as Royal Commissioners in the absence of the Sovereign. Lord Eldon was followed by Lords Winchelsea and Melville, who were robed, and who also took their seats on the bench with the Lord Chancellor, the for mer Lord on the Chancellor's right hand, and the latter on his Lordship's left. Lord Tankerville (an Opposition Lord) hav ing been specially summoned, was in attendance with his robes; but there being three Lo r d s without hi m , a sufficient number to act as Commissioners, Lord Tankerville was not required to act as a Royal Commissioner, so that his Lordship did not even enter the Holise, but remained in the ante-rooms. The Lords severally wore cocked hats, together with their scarlet robes.— Lord Gifford, the Master of the Rolls, was not present. The curtains which front and cover the Throne, were drawn, as is the case when the King is expected to be present. The Loan CHANCELLOR desired Mr. Quarme, the Yeo man Usher of the Black Rod, to summon the attendance of Commons in the House of Peers, to hear his Majesty's Com mission read. Mr. Ley, Clerk at the table, attended by Mr. 'Witham, Mr. John Bull, Mr. Bellamy, and several other clerks and officers of the House of Commons, returned with Mr. Quarme, and appeared at the Bar. Mr. Currie then read the Commission at their Lordships' table, which Commission is called the " Business" Commis sion, it being the last before the actual assembly of Parliament for the dispatch of business ; ar 1 it named Lords Eldon, Win chelsea, Melville, and divers other Lords, or any three of them, to act as Commissioners. It was dated December 18. The Lon)) CHANCELLOR, on the reading of the Commis sion being completed, spoke to the following effect " My Lords, and Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " By virtue of his Majesty's CommisSion, issued under the Great Seal, appointing us to act in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, We are authorised further to prorogue this Parliament from this present Thursday, January the 6th, to Thursday, February the 3d. " My Lords, and Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " Therefore, in obedience to his Majesty's commands con tained in such Commission to us so directed, and acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, We do further prorogue this present Parliament to Thursday, February the 3d, and to be then and here holden : and the Parliament is accordingly hereby further prorogued to Thursday, Feb. 3; then to meet, according to the Proclamation, for the dispatch of divers urgent and important Public Affairs." _ _ _ The Commons then retired, as did the Lords immediately afterwards. Besides the persons who came with the Commons, there were many strangers below the bar. INDIA. THE CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S ARMY. TO THE EDITOR.OF THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. SIR —The late new arrangement of the Indian Army causes much disappointment to every one interested in the service, with the exception perhaps, of a few of the junior Lieutenant_ Colonel-Commandants, who have now obtained regiments which otherwise they could not have expected in less than from ten to fifteen years hence; and the present senior Lieutenant- Colonels. It is universally acknowledged, that we hold our Indian em pire by the thread of ,opinion ; how important, therefore, must it be to maintain that opinion which p reva il s t o a considerable degree among our Sepoys, " that they, without their Euro pean officers, are worth but little, or, as it may be expressed, bodiei without souls!" The number of European officers ought, therefore, to he such as that no detachthent, amounting to 30 men, should be without one. Towards this desirable end, let the whole of the permanent staff (including the regimental) of the army, officers attached to local and extra battalions, and all officers detached on duties not purely military, be borne supernumerary to the established strength of corps ; but even this (although the establishment may be complete) will still leave a very inadequate number of European ofhccrs. For the same reason, the establishments of distant corps of Golendauz is very exceptionable. bet them be auxiliary to, but not substitutes for, European artillerymen. Let a certain number be attached to each company of artillery, and when there is occasion to detach a single gun, which it mr,y be deemed proper to be manned by Golendauz, let it be under the command of a European serjeant, with a corporal or born badier ; and if more than one piece of ordnance, a European commissioned officer. 111 y letter has already attained a greater length than I calcu lated upon at its commencement; should you think it equally worthy a place in your miscellany as you did a former one, I shall, at a future period, resume the subject, entering more into the details of the various branches of the service. I reinain, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, A RETIRED EAST INDIA OFFICER. Cheltenham, Dec. 4, 1024. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BRAZIL. The following is an extract from the Treaty of Commerce with Brazil, from which it would appear that the Treaty cannot be strictly said to expire next month, but that it is only subject at that date to the revision and examination of the contracting parties. ARTICLE 33 OF THE TREATY OF COMMERCE AMERICAN PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. This anxiously expected document was brought to Glasgow last Monday by the Camillus packet, which arrived in the Clyde on that day, and wag received this morning in town. Its great length' prevents us from inserting it entire in our columo s to-day, but we have selected the passages regard' ing the foreign relations of the United St a te which will be found highly satisfactory, interest' ing, and important, and have given the substanc e of those which relate to its internal affairs. WASHINGTON, DEC. 7, 1824.—This day, 5 1 twelve o'clock, the President of the United States communicated to both Houses of CougrS the following BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND BRAZIL. But the two high contracting parties do reserve to them selves the right of jointly examining and revising the several articles of this treaty at the expiration of 15 years, counted in the first instance from the date of the exchange of the ratifica tion thereof ; and of then proposing, discussing, and making such amendments or additions as the real interests of their respec tive subjects may seem to require. It being understood, that any stipulation which at the period of revision of the treaty shall be objected to by either of the high contracting parties, shall be considered as suspended in its operation until the discussion concerning that stipulation shall be terminated, due notice being previously given to the other contracting party of the intended suspension of such stipulation, for the purpose of avoiding mutual inconvenience." The treaty was signed at Rio de Janeiro on the 19th of February, 1810, and was to take effect from the date of his Britannic Majesty's ratification thereof : the mutual exchange was to take place in London within four months, or sooner if possible. The Glasgow weavers have at length resumed their work, at an advance of wages equal to 2s. or 2s. 6d. per week. The sinners yet stantl Packet.) PRICE OF STOCKS TillS dark Stock 2291 2304 3per Cent.

SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 7, 1 89.5. MESSAGE. Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Repro' sentatives, The view which I have now to present to you of our affaiO foreign and domestic, realizes the most sanguine anticipatO which have been entertained of the public prosperity. If ' ff , look to the whole, our growth, as a nation, continues to r rapid beyond example ; if to the States which compose it, I : same gratifying spectacle is exhibit e d. O ur expansion over t 11: vast terrritory within our limits has been great, without in d ' eating any decline in those sections from which the emigratd has been most conspicuous. We have daily gained streng t ' by a native population, in every quarter ; a population &O t t to our happy system of Government, and cherishing the b` ijil of union with fraternal affection. Experience has already slie that the difference of climate, and of industry proceeding fr: that cause, inseparable f rom suc h vast d oma i ns, and w bie; under other systems, might have a repulsive tendel'c' e cannot fail to prod uce w i t h us , un d er w i se regulations , opposite effect. Wh a t one port i on wants, the other ll', supply, and this will be m ost sens ibl y f e l t by the parts II:e distant from each other, forming thereby a domestic roar'', and an active intercourse between the extremes, and throa,, out every portion of our Union. Thus, by A happy distriba tj ; ofpower between the N a ti ona l an d S tate Governments,—go l til ments which rest exclusively on the sovereignty of the people , are fully adequate to the great purposes for which they fl ; respectively instituted —causes, which otherwise lead to distil ; bennent, operate powerfully to draw us closer together. e every other circumstanc e , a correct v i ew of the actual staff our Union must be equally gratifying to our constituents• i relations with foreign powers are of a friendly character' though certain interesting differences remain unsettled with ' 4. 14 ' Our revenue, under the mild system of impost and tora l , continues to be adequate to all the purposes of the Govera l/ ' Our agriculture, commerce, man u f ac t ures , an d navicg t,l flourish. Our fortifications are ad vanc i ng , in the degree at itl,, ized by existing appropri a tions, t o matur i ty; and due pr ob e l is made in tile augmentation of the n avy to t h e li m i t preset;' for it by law. For the s e bl ess i ngs we owe tdAlmighti from whom we derive them, and with profound reverenc e ' most grateful and unceasing acknowledgments. In adverting to our re l at i ons w i t h F ore i gn Powers ,A are always an object of the highest importance, I h i remark, that of the subjects which have been brought into' cussion with them, during the present administration, d have been satisfacto r ily t erm i nate d ; ot h ers h ave b een susP e; to be resumed here a ft er , un d er c i rcumstances more fait° 11 ,: to success ; and others are still in negociation, with th e 0 , that they may be adjusted, w ith mutua l accommo d a tip iel the interests and to the satisfaction of the respective p 5 It has been the invariable obj ec t o f t hi s government to the most friendly relations w i t h every power, and on Pr i and conditions which mi g ht ma k e t h em permanent. 4 „ matic effort has been m a d e t o p l ace our commerce, wit' power, on a footing o f p er f ect reciprocity : to settle whitiott in a spirit of candour and liberality, and to anticipate ° iv move, so far as it might be practicable, all causes of variance.
