(EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GIBRALTAR.) The late promotion in the Royal Artillery was celebrated in this Garrison, on the 9th instant, by a grand dinner, at which the whole of the Artillery Officers were present. Lieutenant- Colonel Egan in the Chair. After the health of " the King," and " the Doke of York and the Army," were drank with three times three, the President proposed " the. Health of his Grace the Duke of IVellington," which was drank with the greatest enthusiasm, and - which he prefaced by the following appropriate speech :—" The Master-General of the Ordnance, who, from his pre-eminent talents and n o.reat experience, as the first Captain of the age, knowing how to appeciate the merits of the officers under his command, has been the cause of our assembling together this day, for the purpose of celebrating an extensive promotion, which pervades the whole corps, and I feel convinced that his Grace only looks to another early opportunity of furthering it still more, parti cularly among the junior branches, who, irons their esprit de corps' and honourable feelings, have hitherto borne the slow ness of promotion with the greatest patience and resignation, and who, I am satisfied, will, at all times, support the disci pline, honour, and credit, of the Regiment, for which it has been distinguished ever since the formation of a nritish army." The next toast given was" the Health of General Sir George Don," which the President prefaced in the following words :—" Our worthy Lieut.-Gove:nor-General Sir George lion, whose life has been devoted to the study of promoting the welfare and comfort of the officers and soldiers under Isis command, and whose name will ever stand conspicuous in the annals of Gib raltar, for the unrivalled improvements which have been ef fected during his Governorship, rad which have been the means of preserving thousands of valuable lives to the King and Country." This toast was drank with great applause.— " The health of the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Payne," was also drank with tassels applause.—" The health of die President" being proposed and drank with similar cheers, he returned thanks in an appropriate manner. The whole wa s conducted with Oat decorum and propriety for which the Offi cers of this distinguished Corps have ever been remarkable. METICIIANT'TAILORS'SCHOOL.—YPstPrday was the examination of the young gentlemen of this school. The examiners were the Reverend Dr. Tito 13.mq: and the Rev. —31 A ; and their report was most gratifying to the friends of the Institution. After the different classes had under gone this test of their ability. the Monitors, as usual, delivered the Greek, Latin, and English speeches. The Master and Wardens subsequently entertained their friends at Merchant Tailors' Hall, where an elegant dinner was served up; several loyal and constitutional toasts drank, and the evening concluded in the utmost harmony. On Wednesday evening a 'Meeting of the East London Auxiliary British and Foreign Bible Society, was held at the Court-house, Osborne-street, Whitechapel, J. BURNELL, Esq., in the Chair; when it appeared from the Report, which was received with the highest testimonies of ap plause, that since the last general meeting four hundred Bibles and one hundred Testaments had been received from the parent Society, making a total receipt of 7,363 Bibles, and 3,238 Testaments. Of these, 344 Bibles, and 112 Testa ments had been distributed since the last Meeting, making in the whole 7,175 Bibles, and 3,106 Testaments, issued from the depository of the Society, to Associations, Subscribers, and for gratuitous distribution. The amount of annual subscriptions and donations received during the year, was 711.25. ; from associa tions 164/. and for Bibles and Testaments sold to Sub scribers at cost and reduced prices, 301.95.8 d. The whole receipts for the year were 265/. 12s. 10d. The sum of 2001. had been paid to the parent Society, and there remained in the hands of the Treasurer a balance of 941. 13s. Several interesting speeches were delivered. Thanks were then voted to the Duke of SUSSEX, as Patron of the Society; to die Chairman and others, and the Meeting adjourned. GAME CERTIFICATES.—An article has appear ed in most of the Irish newspapers, copied, we apprehend, from some English paper, stating, that by an Act of 54th Geo. 111., cap. 141, any person may aid or assist in killing game, provided it be done in the presence or company of a person who shall duly have obtained a certificate in his own right. This article has caused a great deal of misunderstanding amongst the sporting classes in Ireland. We are therefore authorized officially to set the public right upon this subject. The Act alluded to is one made to alter the English Excise Act, of the 52d George 111. cap. 93, which had subjected every person, aiding and assisting in killing game to the necessity o f ob taining a game certificate. The 54th Geo. 111. cap. 141, merely repeals the thrty upon persons aiding and assisting, provided it be done in the company and for the use of a per son who has obtained a certificate, and uses his own dog and gun. But neither of the Acts mentioned relate to Ireland. They are exclusively British Excise Acts. In Ireland, under the 55th George 111., cap. 100, every person using a dog or gun for killing game—no matter whether in the company of a licensed person or not, or for his use or not—is subject to a pe nalty of 201., if he has not obtained a game certificate.—(Dublin Evening Mail.) ANECDOTES, &c. Rl:m.tusiAnt.v DA v.—This day is remarkable as the anniversary of the meeting of Henry the Eighth of England and Francis the First of France, at Boulogne, 1532 ; of the death of Ed mund Waller, the poet, 16;87; of the deaths of Dr. Tobias SmoHet, historian and novelist ; and of Samuel Foote, dramatic writer and comedian, both in 1777 ; and of the naval victory over the combined fleets of France and Spain, and death of Lord Nelson in 1805. DUKE O F SAXONY AND BAVARIA. — in the 1181, II cxn Y, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, surnamed the Lion, had three sons, Henry, Lo thaire, and Otho. Being compelled to fly into England, he there had another son, also called Otho, who ascended the Imperial Throne, under she name of Otho IV. The Dukes of Bruns wick are, it is said, descended from a brother of this same Emperor. So that the Dukes of lit uns wick, the present Royal Family of England, and the Dukes of Modena, spring from the same stock. ALDINE DE lOULANGES, Abbess of Royal-lieu, fell a victim in the French Revolution. She and her numerous sisters were led to the scaffold on the same day. While leaving the prison, they all chaunted the Veal Creator upon the fatal car. When arrived at the place of execution, they did not interrupt their strains. One head fell, and ceased to mix its voice with the celestial chorus —but the strain continued: The Abbess suffered last ; and her single voice, with increased tone, still raised the touching sounds. It ceased at once—it was the silences of death ! TICK El, the poet, dramatic and political writer, and the brother-in-law of SlirtuDAN, had apartments assigned to him at Hampton Court, where he resided for many years previous to his death. The celebrated political pamphlet, called Anticipation, procured him this privilege. FLITTER Y.-A beggar-man, on his rounds in a popular parish in Ayrshire, took the liberty of rapping at the door of the best house in it. It so happened, that the only domestic in the house was the cook, who left her own more im mediate business to open the door. Seeing that it was a beg gar-man who had disturbed her, she very angrily bid him leave the house, and go and work, " Ou," said the gaberlun zie, " I suppose if I maun, I mann ; but afore I gang, I canna help saying, that I hae na seen so bonny a tit (foot) in a'coif or carrich." " Ye're no the first that said that, guile man," said the mollified lady of the dripping-pan, " moray hae thocht the same—come hen poor bodie, an' 1 will e'en gae ye a chack." PUSTS.—The regular established Posts be tween London and towns in the three Kingdoms commenced in 1635 ; the Penny Post was instituted in London and su burbs, by one hurray, an upholsterer, 101 ; first introduced into Dublin 1774 ; extended and unproved round London 1794; and made a Two-penny Post in 1801. ORIGIN OF FRANKING LLTTERS.—In the 23d Volume of the Parliamentary history is the following very curious anecdote concerning this privilege. It occurred in the debate on the Post-oflice Bill, in the year :—" Colonel Titus reported the bill for the settlement of the Post-office, with the - amendments. Sir Walter .Earle delivered a proviso, for the letters of all Members of Parliament to go free, during Their sitting. Sir Heneage Finch said, "It was a poor mendi cant proviso, and below the honour of the House." Mr. Prynn spoke also against the proviso : Mr. Itunckley, Mr. Boscawen, Sir Geo. Downing;, and Serjcant Charlton, for it ; the latter saying the Council's letters went free. The question being called for, the Speaker, Sir Harbottle Grimstone, was unwill. ing to put it, saying, lie ices ashamed qf it nevertheless, the proviso was carried, and made part of the bill, which was or dered to be engrossed." The Lords subsequently disagreed to this proviso, arid it was ultimately thrown out. At a subse quent period, however, both Houses did not feel it to be " be low their honour" to secure for kthemselves this exemption from postage." At the 13ATTLF. of LEtrruEN, General de ZIETEN was riding along the ranks of his cavalry, when a cannon-ball took off the head of a cuirassier belonging to the. Prince of Prussia's Regiment. His comrades were startled at this accident, when Zieten revived their intrepidity by the ex ample he showed them of his own, and calmly said, " That worthy man, my friends, died an easy death." e't sT of TABERNACLES.—To-day " the Jews celebrate the EI:AIiT of TADEIINACI.ES, or Succoth," to re mind them of their forty years' journeying in the wilderness. At the hour the Sabbath begins they go to the evening service of the synagogue, where additional prayers are said in honour Of this festival. Afterwards, instead of sitting down to meat in their houses, they must go to their respective tabernacles, or booths, where every preparation being completed, the master of the fluifily takes a glass of wine in his right hand, and says the Kodush, or Grace, " Blessed art thou, 0 Lord our God ! King of the Universe, who bath sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us to dwell in a tabernacle ;" and this they add to the grace after every meal during the seven days of the Feast of the Tabernacles. In case of rainy weather, their stay in these booths is dispensed with. In the morning of the Feast of the Tabernacles, when they go to Syna gogue, after saying the prayers for the festival, and before the praise, they take the citron, the branch of the palm-tree, myrtles, and 'willows, some in the right hand, and others in the left, saying an appropriate grace ; but if this happens on the Sabbath, they are excused, as they are not allowed to carry any thing on that day. On this festival, as well as on other days, they say the prayer for the King and Government, and afterwards the prayer of the additions ; those who are pos sessed of a palm-tree branch, citron, &c., go once round the altar, saying " Hoshana," (1. e. save us); they then carry to the ark again, and after some other prayers are said the service is ended. The willow twigs which they hold in their hands on this day, are to remind them of the blessing of the waters. The feast is also that of gathering in the harvest. The - last of the five clays commencing with this festival, is called Hoshana the Great, because on this day every one Ifas a branch of the wil low, as before mentioned, and in the prayers of this day make use of the word Boshana. Those, too, who .are possessed of the palm branch, &c., with the reader at their head, go seven times round the altar in solemn procession, in remembrance of the sabbatical years. The eighth day of the Feast of the Ta bernacles, very strictly kept, is called the Day of Solemn As sembly ; the modern Jews keep nine days of this festival, instead (Weight, for which they assign astronomical reasons. Tut: WEATHEIt.—About three o'clock yester day morning, after a sudden storm of wind which passed with the violence and rapidity of a hur ricane, there was a slight fall of snow, f o ll o wed by a heavy shower of rain, the coldest that..we ever remember.—The fall in the barom e t er with in the last th ree d a ys has been snore rapid and considerable t h an any that the most attentive Meteorolo g ist cau reme mber to have h a pp ene d for some time. SPOTS IN TIM SuN.—Three spots are now visible on the disc of this luminary ; one, near the so ut h ern limb, appears well defin e d, roun d, a nd not unlike the transit of an inferior planet over the face of the Sun : the other t wo are situate near the south- eas t edge,and, quity, could not have be en v i s ibl e yesterday. before from their propi n- It is perhaps not unworthy of rem ar k, th a t on the 20th of October, 1824, three spots were observed in nearly similar positions. At a recent corporation dinner, in a neighbour.. ing city, one of the visiters, who has distinguished himself no less in the field of battle than in the Senate, appropriately pro posed, as a toast—" Nay the man who has lost one eye in the service of his country never see distress with the other;" but the person whose duty it was to announce the toast to the company, by omitting the word " distress," completely altered the mean ing of the sentiment, and caused no small degree of merriment by the blunder.—( Gloucester Journal.) It is said that actions Will immediately be brought against the Officers of the Customs for the illegal detention of the two vessels seized on their voyage to Greece. PO ET It Y. STANZAS TO ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND THEM Go and mix in the crowd, With the vain and the gay, Let your laughter be loud, . To drive sadness away; But when light feet are wreathing in joy's festive bowers, And music is breathing 'midst perfume and flowers ; Oh ! think of the Maid whom you once us'd to meet, Amidst melody's numbers, and glancing of feet; Think what bile is now,—and in revel and glee, Oh ! remember the fond heart that's breaking for thee. By the Moon's holy smile Which beam'd soft from above, When in yon cloister' aisle You first murmur'd your Love ; By the truth which you said should for ever remain, By the tears I have shed since of anguish and pain ; By the sweet summer eve, when in silence and bliss, You left on my cheek your last parting kiss; Oh ! pause for a moment in revel and glee, To remember the fond heart that's breaking for thee.

The first tour miles was done in 18 minutes 10 seconds ; second four, 17 minutes 11 seconds ; third four, 17 . nitnutes 15 seconds; and the last two in eight mi nutes 59 seconds, losing the match by one minute and 3,5 se conds.

RECOVERY OF THE CHRisTrAwA BRIG OFF MARGATE. —The Messrs. Bells and their companions, by indefatigable perseverance and industry, have at length succeeded in reco vering from the bed of the ocean, after having been submerg ed eleven months, the brig laden with about 180 pieces of brandy, which was sunk on the Margate sands. Several intl. fectual attempts had been made to lift the vessel, by inserting powerful screws in the deck; but the superincumbent means were at first insufficient to raise it bodily, and in two or three instances the deck gave, from which circunistance may be et, tributed the escape of several pieces. A chain subsequently was drawn under the keel, but the wreck was so firmly docked in the sand, that this resource failed ; until another and more .powerful one, capable of supporting the weight, was procured ; when at last the hidden treasure, after several months close ap plication by the screw, gratified their sight by appealing, ken the surface of the water, with about 160 pieces still remaining in her hold. It is a remark ible circumstance, that the s hole of this undertaking was completed without the aid of. a diving bell. The method resorted to was, by having , on the deck of the vessel employed, what is termed a " Jam, in the box," through which the screws and other instruments were dropped, and by this simple contrivance—it is no more than an upright box—the men were enabled to work with safety. The length of time the spirit has been immersed has not in the least dual nished its flavour, owing to the soundness and thickness of the bottoms in which it is contained. It is now stated to be the intention of the Messrs. Bells to purchase the diving bell and apparatus of the Dutch Gov e rnm en t, th e same as was lately employed in an attempt to restore the precious cargo of the Lu tine frigate.

He was formerly in the Royal Artificers, and had fought in the battles of the Pyrenean mountains; and it is recorded of him that on one occasion be,. left his corps, and entered a French guard-room, with hi pick and shovel on his back, to get his pipe lighted.. 'lie French expecting that the whole of the British army w.s coming upon them, immediately fled, and when cur troops came up, instead of finding him killed, as thy expects.d, he was coolly smoking his pipe at the tire ade, and had the whole place to himself. After he came home. his mind became affected, and he escaped about three year. ago. He has been wandering about the country ever sines, and whenever he can find a regiment he follows it—like the war horse, the sound of a trumpet re-animates his martial fire. His arrears of pension havexun up to 301.—( Glasgow Paper.) A meeting of the working mechanics of Brighton was held on Tuesday last, in aid of the B:adfnrd comber; and weavers.
