His watch chain had a number of small gold seals appended to it, and was looped up to a button of his waistcoat. His 'ace is as void of colour ; t e wore no whiskers. His eyes were grey, fr ng,d with long black lashes; and his air was imposing, but rather supercilious. He undervalued David Hum.; denying his claim to genius on account of his bulk, and calling him, from the heroic epistle, _ . . . The fattest hog in Epicurus' sty.' One of this extraordinary nun's gations was, that fat is an oily dropsy,' To stave off its visitation, he fre quently chewed tobacco in lieu of dinner, alleging that it atisorbed the gastric juice of the stomach, and prevented hunger.

SPAFIELDS MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stet,--I think if you can find a wad space in your mueh-circulated paper for the following observations, i t will be the mean, of satisfying the gentlemen of the jury, who were concerned in the examination of the man who killed the police soldier, that they (in the opinion of the people of the noith of England, as well as of other parts of the United Kingdom) have done their duty. The verdiet of the Jury. on the examination of the man before the Coroner, who killed the police soldier at the last Spafields meeting, seems to give the greatest satisfaction through the no - th of England and Wales; in fact, it is the topic of conversation in every public and commercial house, and the feeling of satisfaction prevailing seems most gene ral, and many observe that they hope he decision of the learned Jury will have more weight in the carrying of im portant measures thtough the House than any of their petitions which have been sent previous. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ALFRED JOB, a Traveller. Sheffield, May 2641, 1833. EMIGRATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIK.—As I sin a great advocate for Emigration, parti cularly to the British settlements, in North America, I cannot too hen lily applaud the step lately taken by the pr• sent worthy Secretary for the C lonial Department, viz , that of the appointment of an agent to superintend the embarkation and gratuitously give his aels , ce to those who, from misfoi tune, or other reasons, are induced to quit their native country, "to seek the land of promise." It has already caused much alarm amongst those nume rous wretches (a name good enough for them) who obtain a livelihood by haunting the rail-road station, coach office, steam boats, Ste. &c., to entrap and, by a specious pre t-nce, plunder the parties, as they arrive here for shipment, by making theni pay far more for their paasage and provi sions than a respectable house would do. The emigrants now have an office to go to, where every information is readily obtained, and most willingly given, as to the first ship, price of passage, &c. &c. ; and they will nut be, as heretofore, delayed until they have sacrificed the small sum they had on their arrival, and in many instances com pelled to return to their parishes. But, Sir, the other ports ought to be equally considered ; such as, London, Bristol, Pixtsmouth, Plymouth, Hull, Glasgow, and Cork, from whence numbers annually sail. 'Die appoint ments would diffuse much satisfaction ; as, by an applica von to an agent acknowledged by the Government, from a in igistrate, parish officer, &c., a faithful report would he made of the first vessels, heigot between decks, which is a great object, and price of passage : the patties puroosing to etnigrate could then so arrange as to arrive at the port only two or three days previous to the vessel sailing ; thus avoiding heavy expenses out of their small means. The Right Honourable Secretary fur the Colonies merits the grateful thanks of the emigrants for the part he has already taken. Your•, &c. A CANADIAN. Liverpool, May 25. MEDICAL SCHOOL, KIN YS COLLEGE• DISTRIBUTION or rRIZE,: AND CERTIFICATES OF HONOUR sixteen. CO THE STUDENTS. The ceremony of distributing the prizes and cert;ficates of honour awarded to the students who have obtained the giratest prc6ciency in the several branches of medical science took pl :ce on Friday, in the Theatre of , he King's College, before a large it , setuhlage of ladies and the patrons .ind friends of the institution. The Bishop of Lotinota, accompanied by the members , ‘f the Council, entered the theatre, and took the chair at two. His Lordship, having briefly alluded to the object of the ceremony, took occasion to contrast the past and the pr sent state of medical knowledge, so far as the opera tive branches, the burgled departments were concerned. In giving certifirates and rewards for proficiency to the various students, an eye had been given not only to pro neievey in their studies, but to the Leneral regularity of. their conduct. Thus the College had the satisfaction ( , t knowing they should be enabled to send forth into the world a number of young men armed with all the mecha- nical acquirements in the medical art, in combination with moral and religious integrity. The Proles.ors then severally addressed the assembly, and gave an encour iging account of the progress of their revegtive clan-es. Having pointed out to his Lordship the names of the students whH had been selected for the rewards, his Lord-hip delivered the honorary distinctions to each young g envernan, accomoanying the presentation with some appropriate oloiervation. The following is the list of prizes and succcessful can didates : Anatomy—Silver Medal.—W. T. Robinson. Certificates of Honour.—Sodon, Talmage, Gallard. Anatomical Demonstration—Silver Medal.—J. Salon. Certificates.—Curtis, Rawson, and Medcalfe. Botany—Silver Medal.—B. Whitfield. Certificates.—Chance and Medcalfe. Materia Medica—Silver Medal.—H. Holine. Certificates.—Rawson and Osborne, Medicine—Silver Medal.—Medcalfe. Crertificates—Curtis, Rawson, and Winchester. Forensic Medicine—Silver Medal.—J. Ot win. Certificates—W. Chance. Midwifery—Silver Medal.—H. Medcalfe. Certificates.—Rawson and Pearce. Surgery—Silver Medal.—William Trew. Certificates.—Curtis, Rawson, and Talmage. General Proficiency—Gold Medals.—Rawson and Chance. General Good Conduct and Attention to Religious Duties —Mr. Leathe's Prizes.—Atkinson and Leacock. His Lordship, al er having apologised for the tinavoid ab'e absence of the Visiter of the College, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and expressed the high gritification he had received Iron the proceedings of the dAy, gave a part ing admonition to the students, and the assembly broke up. TheKING will hold a Council on Wednesday, at which the RECORDER will make report of the pri soners under sentence of death. The Duke of ORLEANS and suite arrived at Grillon's lintel, Albemarle-street, yesterday afternoon, at tw o o'clock, from his tour in the nort► ern counties. His Royal Highness dined with his suite in the apartments at the Hotel, and afterwards attended the Countesses of GREY'S and JERSEY'S grand assemblies. His Royal Highness will pay several farewell visits previous to his approaching departure. Viscount JOCELYN, eldest son of the Earl of RODEN, has entered the atmv as a Second. Lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade. His Lordship has just attained the age at which he becomes qualified to hold a Commission, i. e. Considerable numbers of the Nobility intend t spend great part of the approaching summer on the Continent, and many diquiguished members of the beau monde purpuse to extend their absence abroad beyond the autumn. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, and his sister, Countess GRANVILLE, quit Devonshire House to-morrow, for Kernpto where he will make his accu,tomed stay during the hay season, hi-. Grace, it is well known, being subject to an annual attack of indisposition called the hay fever. Eirl GRANVILLE has not yet left Devonshirt: House for Rail, but we hear that his Lordship calculates n bis speedy return to the French capital. The Marquis of WATERFORD, accompanied by Sir WILLIAm POWLETI. GEARY, is about to make a voyage to the Mediterranean, and he also intends to visit Egypt, in his yacht, which has been fitted up for the purpose. COWES, MAY 26.—The Earl of Dun- HAM, who has purchased the Eirl of BELFAST'S beautiful and last-sailing cutter Louisa, intends his first cruise in her to go to Antwerp, to pay King LEOPOLD a visit, and return to this delightful waiering-plac-, where his Lord ship has taken up his summer quarters ; and we trust it will have the object in view of reinstating the Noble Earl's health. It is exp cted i❑ the autumn of the year his Lordship and liorily will take a trip in the Louisa to the Mediterranean. A very general rumour prevails among those who profess to be informed upon such matters, that an arrangement was made during the rec-ss for the return of Si , ' ROBERT PEEL to office, and that its accomplishment only awaits the final ilisposil of the Irish Church Bit , and a few other measures, on which it is felt that it would not be quite consistent fur Sir ROBERT to be committed to after the opposition which he has given to them. BEULAH SPA, NORWOOD, MAY 27.—The MASTER of tile MILLS, the Earl of MUNSTER and fain ly, the SPEAKER of the House of Commons and family. have visited the Spa within the last few days. The band of the Goldstr,ain Guards per‘orwed here on Friday. The ocher arrivals at the Park Hotel are, the Dowager Viscountess Dowse.

WEST INDIA M EETING.—The Morning Chronicle of thi: day (Tuesday) contained nine columns of the proceedings at the City of London Tavern, with the Resolutions. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION MEETINGS. —Nothing of imporance took place at these rne , tin which were held yesterday at the National Exchange Bazaar, Gray's Inn-road, after our Reporter left. Mr. HuNT's speech was of the usual cali .re, and the portion we gave yesterday affords a fair sample of the whole. The Anniversary of the Royal Westminster Opthalmic Hospital was celebrated on S iturday at WlLLtss R ioms, on which occasion the Right Hon. Gen Lord LYNEDOCH took the Chair. It appeared from the Report that, during the last year, 1,752 patients had been admitted, and that since the commencement of the Institu tion 21,347 person. have received relief from this charity, and 658 have recovered their sight by the operation of cataract. ROYAL IRISH YACHT CLUB.—A letter has been received from the Swedish Minister at London, M. BJORNSTJERNA, stating that the King of SWEDE); has granted the request of the Club, that vessels belonging to it will hereaher he allowed to enter the ports of Swed.n and Norway without being gable to the payment of port or harbour dues. A letter has ben received horn Btron Bor.ow conveying a similar consent on the part of the Prussian King, in regard to the harbours of Prussia and its dep ndencies.—Dublin Paper. ARGYLL ROOMS.---A concert was given at these rooms last night by Mr W. A. KING, a son of the late Mr. P. KING, the talented composer of The Witches. The performances were very satisfactory, and among those most eminently mo were the Di Placer of Madame de MEatc ; La I here the gentle lark of Miss BRUCE, accompanied on the fl ute by Mr. MlNast ; and the 'long of The Old English Gentleman by Mr. H. RUSSELL. The instrumental performances were of a superior character. The room was very crowded rather inconveniently so, for we observed several ladies who were obliged to stand. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—This house was last night crowded in every part by an audience anxious to witness the first representation of AlozAnT's Grand Opera of The Magic Flute. Nothing could he more unequivocal than its success. It was attentively listened to, and enthusitp.iically applauded. There was a general hush the mncient the overture commenced, and, familiar as it is to English cars, the excellent manner in which it was e•.ecuted gained for it the honour of an encore. The orchestra was tinder the direction of Herr CHZLARD, who presided in the orchestra. The whole strength of the company was comprised in the cast, which is the fullest we have met with in any Opera hitherto produced on the English stage. There are some pleasing magical effects, though neither the scenery nor decorations are new. As an Opera of the highest order of excellence, it will doubt less prove attractive in the present improved state of musical taste. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The per formances at this theatre last night were extremely varied and interesting. They began with the grand spectacle of the Trojan War. The most remarkable scenes in it are the games, the stratagem of the wooden horse, and the taking of Troy. After this spectacle an interlude was brought fo-ward, entitled Chinese Wonders, or, Five Days' Fete of Pekin, combining in one sketch Egyptian jugglers, Acrobats of the flying rope, grotesques, &c., and presenting a scene of great activity and great splendour. The scenes in the circle succeeded, the chief performers being Mr. STICKNEY, the American, who appeared upon two hors es , Miss WOOLFORD, and Mr. ADAMS. The en. tertainitient conclud e d with a grand romance, entitled The Hay of th e Storm, or the Doomed Knight. The house was well a tt en d e d .

After the tragedy there were concert and some improvisations by Signor PtsTauccr. The concert was a mdanrholy affair, with the excep , inn of two duns, sung by Ruatra, Zucital.m, DONZELLI, and 0 ai.m. We are requested to state that Mr. THEO DORE HOOKE's new novel," The Parson's Daughter," was published this day by Mr. BENTLEY, New Burlington. street, and may be had of all respectable booksellers in the United Kingdom. Agents for Scotland—Messrs. Bat r. and BRADIUTE, Edinburgh ; for Ireland—Mr. JOHN CUMMING, Dublin. Those who have been disappointed in obtaining their applications for " Godolphin," and the new novel by 111 , . GALT, " Eben skin... or The Tra veller," may now obtain them of all booksellers. GREENWICH HOSPITAL ESTATES.—The returns relative to the management of these estates in the north state that there are twenty-two persons em ployed on them in various ways as reviver., clerks, b cliffs, inspectors, agents, &c., all of whose salaries, and other expenses, in 1832, amounted to 4.581/. 10s. The highest salary, that of the chief receiver, is 1,1001., the under receiver 9741. The salaries for 1833 have been reduced to 2.2261., being a saving of 2,3151. 10s. ; to the latter •um, however, are added pensions to the stuount of 1,4811. 75., leaving an immediate saving of 834/. Ss. FOSSIL REMAINS.---A specimen of the head of the fossil elk was lately discovered in moss, rest ing on marl, about six miles from Belfast. The .pecimen was in a fine state of preservation ; the head was entire. and the teeth were perfect, and the immense horns were also complete. The head and horns weigh about two cwt. Each horn measures, from the base to the tip. five fret six inches. The tneamkur•ment between the tips of the horns is seven feet six inches. The whole spec.men twelve feet in circumference. This beautiful and valuable specimen has been acquired by the Andersonian hiu , eum, of which it forms one of the finest ornaments.— Glasgow Herald.

The residue of the estate, after paytniint of these and Born.. other trifling legacies, is bequeathed to the Village Itiiierary, or Evangelical Ass , iciation for the Propagation of the. Gospel. His MAJESTY'S SHIP RODNEY.—The launch of this vessel will take place at Pembroke on the 18th of June next, the anniversary iif the battle of Wa• teflon. She is built on pl ins proposed by Sir R SET TINGS, and is pierced to carry 92 guns upon two decks, al , 3t-pounders, so 'hat taking into consideration the weizht of metal, her broadside will be more tormidabi, than that of any first.? ate. Be•rdes h lying her lower deck ports '7 fe-t 6 inches out of water, she will be able to fire her broadside in weather when a first rate would be unable to open her lower deck ports; and on this deck alone do these ships show such heavy arrillety.

An equivalent for this duty it was one time thought might hav- been found in the repeal of the duty on foreign oils used in the manufacture, hut this it was found would have been insufficient, and its operation would prove unequal. The following letter, received from Mr. STRICILAND by a manufacturer of this neighbourhood, explains what are the present views of Ministers:— " London, May 21 " Sir,—Before receiving your letter I had directed my at. tention to the proposed ministerial plan of withdrawing the drawback upon the duty on soap used in manufactures. " This would, undoubtedly, have been a great hardship to many persons, because, instead of getting a drawback of the duty of 20., they would hereafter have to pay half the duty of 3d. " Many applications have already been made to the Govern ment upon the subject ; and I have obtained the following in formation, that it is now the intention to allow a drawback or remission of the whole duty on soap employed in manufactures for two years, the Government stating an intention, before the expiration of that period, to make such a reduction of duty on other articles—l believe on the raw material of some kind—as will amount to an equivalent. " I fear that this information will not be perfectly satisfactory to you, but I can assure you that I shall continue to pay attention to the subject, and endeavour to forward your ♦iews and inte. rests.—l remain your faithful servant, —Leeds Mercury. " GEORGE STRICKLAND." A!I bills drawn at ports where there are resi dent pay-clerks by pursers of his Majesty's ships, f o r monthly allowance money, are in future to be negotiated through bankers or merchants, instead of being presented to the pay-clerks of the Treasurer of the Navy, for pay ment at those places. There are two large st-Arn•vessel• at Spithead with men for the service of Don PEDRO, and it is reported that Captain C. Naenttt goes nut in one of them, to supersede Admiral SARTORIUS in thy command of the squ 'ikon. The Talavera, 74, is ordered to pro ceed to Cork, from whence it is believed she will take on , hoops to the West Indies. The Admiralty have ordered an estimate to be made of the difference in the expense of the present system of packet service and the contract system as formerly. For this purpose several persons are now at Falmouth making the necessary inquii les. The Falcon. 10-gun sloop, is to be fitted for a steamer. It is intended to try the experiment of generating the steam by means of oil instead of coals. His Majesty's ship Revenge, 76, Captain D. H. MACICAY, arrived on Monday from do West Indies, having taken out detachments of troops to the islands. She left Batbadoes on the 12th ultimo, and Martinique on the 17th, and has brought home a qu anti y of timber for the Ordnance Department, and a company 01 the Royal Artillery, amongst whom are the following officers :—Lieutenant-Colone BIRCH, Lieutenants SHUT.

Greyhounds, beagle., foxhounds, terriers, and even curs of low degr, e, were to be leer friskinr about the cottage which AIARGAILIET occupied; arid the gossipe of Ltanheris affirm to this day, that she made i mare' d,perate havoc among the hares and foxes than all the e nnfed e rate hunts did together, Noe were Megan's qualia ti.iation confined to her dexterity and hardihood as a hun tress.

CORNWALL.—A fellow from Camborne, in Cornwrlt, named PETICK Hosizt4c. has h•encernmitsed by t h e R e v. G. T a xwegge, under the following cirrum et,ncee :—lt appe ire that, sbent two turniths since, after a few d courtship, he married the widow of one Pavia, who had devised some property to an only chill, and in ease of the child's death to its mother; that he (Hostrina) aapeared to entertain a fixed avereinu to the chili, and bps been heard to say that if it were dead he should be a man warth 2001. ; that on Monday morning the c .ild, being measles,ialnlixdo'liuteh:tr,o,huelsdenodr wouldthein was a little trouhlea me, when he ~ o b t e her che ou d t .a o th pa n y i a it, h, a il n l, d wh ap i p l e e , ared he strongly urged him to go and to allow her to stay with the child.

TRANQUILLITY.—One day brings on ano , Cher day ; one year follows another : lit us take the tinier a. it comes. A hundred years or trouble are not worth a day of tranquillity. The sources of all pleasures are in our heart ; he who Berke them elsewhere outrages the divinity. My projects. my desires, and my hopes never en beyond my fivers bosom. Rivers roll rapidly to the sea end enter therein without troubling it ! my heart is the same; all the events of the great world do not cost me 11 single care. Truth is my compass, and moderati in my helm. I advance on my way whatever wind may blow. The clouds arise, and the clouds descend in lain without causing me any inquietude. When they conceal the sun from me by day I try to look at the stars by night. The -mellow in her safe nest sees with a tranquil eye the bloody combats of the vultures. Let who will conquer, the conqueror will not molest her ; and the little flies and worms never fail her. My clothes are made of common cloth, my food is coarse, and the thatch which covers my hut decays every year. But what would it he to me to-morrow to have been dressed in silk to-day, and to have digested costly dishes? Golilen roofs do not keep out sleanalessness and care; and were the ifountry shaken by an earthquake, how easily can I gain my humble door ! My patrimony is at the end of my two arm., and every day gives me its harvest. When it is hot I cool myself in the shade of a tree, and when it is cold I warm myself by working. Old age is coming upon me: hut my children are young, and will repay me fur what I have done for them. If they always observe truth anti moderatiun, a hundred yeara will ant coat them a sigh. Whatever tempests may arise, transinillity is a port always open to the innocent of heart. Heil tran quillity of the soul! Sweet charm of life! Kings would their crowns to buy tLve, if they knew thy value. Complete thy benefits; thou hest helped me to live well; help me to die well.— Translation of a (Wattle Poem, attributed to a celebrated Doctor, named Lean. INFANT SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.—On Wednesday JAMES LITTLEWOOD, of High sweet, 'lubber, shout twenty years of age, was samtnoned before CHRh.. TOMER BECEETT, E.g., and RALEH MARELAND, E-q., ihe sitting Magistrates at the Court-house, Leeds, charged with having age rutted DANIEL RATCLIFFE, a piecener, about twelve years of age, by striking him with a tarty roller. The complainant stated that on Friday last, whilst be was attending to his work as usual at ihreourt Mill, under the defendant's orders, be desired him to put the sheet of the carding machine right, and that, whilst he was doing this, one of the carding ends went through the frame of the billey, and that in consequence the defendant got into a passion, seised a billey roller, and struck him several hard blows with it, which made him quite sick.— The complainant's mother said that when her buy went home to his dinner he looked very sickly and ill. She asked him if he were poorly, and he said no, but that J .mes (the defendant) had been " rollering" him. She examined his person, and found three or four black marks upon his body occasioned by the blows, and one of them. was swollen to the size of an erg, and gave him much pain. On the same afternoon she went to the boy's master, and procured her son's discharge. She described he wrapon used by the defendant as a wooden roller, tuo yard. and a halt long, and about as thick as her wrist.— The defendant denied the charge altogether. He said that in the early part of the week, some words had passed be tween the buy's mother and his master re.rcting his in attention to his work, and he was to have been " poked" on Saturday night. This mails him still more heedle-s, and he spoiled his work so much that he (c;efendant) could not act on.—Mr. Beckarr said it was clear that the de iendant nod punished the lad in a moat disgraceful manner, which he had no right to do. and he mn.t therefore teaks trim satisfaction. The parties then retired, and it was ul timately agreed that the procee.finge should be stayed on he defendant paying a sovereign to the Lei ds Infirmary, nd the expenses of the summon., mid promising not to offend again. —Leeds Intelliyencer. A REAL GHOST !—The following circum .t ince has been creating some agitation in the neighlnitir hood of Farnham for the last six weeks. In Syderstone Parsonage lives the Rev. Mr. STEWARD, curate, and rector of Thwaights. About six week• since an unac countable knocking was heard in it in the middle of the light. The family became warmed, not being able to discover the cause. Since then it has gradually been be coming more violent, until it has now arrived at such a frightful pitch that one of the servants ties left through absolute terror. The noises commence almost every morning about two, and continue until daylight. Some times it is a knocking, now in the ceiling overhead, now in the wall, and now directly under the feet; sometimes it is a low moaning.:which the Rev. Gentleman says re minds him very much of the moans of a soldier on being whipped; and sometimes it is like the sounding of brass, the rattling of iron, or the clashing of earthenware or glass, but nothing in the house is disturbed. It never speaks, but will beat to a lively tune, and moan at a soi e ma one, especially at the morning and evening hymn.. Every part of the house has been carefully examined, to see that tmbeers7 and e oblige wlich ti a lways arouse to no one could be secrete d, and the doors and windows are always fastened with t he g reatest caution .

It is heard by every one present, and enteral ladies and gentlemen in the during neighbourhood. who, to satisfy themselves, have remained all night with Mr. Sizwsees family, have heard the same noise, and have been equally surprised and frightened. Mr. STEWARD has also offered any of the tradespeople in the village an opportunity of remaining in the house and convincing themselves. The shrieking last Wednesday week was terrific. It was formerly reported in the vil lage that the house was haunted by a rev. gentleman, whose name was MENIAL, who died the , * be ilu i, t , t r w d e T n o t t' e seven years since, and this is now generally ke church has the case.
