LITERATURE. WESTMINSTER RP.. VIE W. Aro. XXX VII. LONDON, 1833. This periodical is a mirror in which the spirit of the age is reflected at full length. It is not supported, like ..the., Edinburgh Review, by the Whigs, nor, like the Quarterly, by the Tories, but by the community at large. Its voice is the voice of the people; that is of th:tt vast portion of them who, under the name of the " movement party," are rapidly bearing down all before them. Hence it is bold in the expression of opinion, as one who knows its strength ; subtle, sagacious, fond of disputation, searching in inquiry, stern and zealous in up holding truth. Like most Reformers, too, it is pedantic and dictatorial ; professing an enlarged liberality, yet holding as an axiom, that there is no salvation without the pale of its own faith. Those who are not for it, it considers against it, and rates them accordingly. A little more charity would considerably improve it ; but in a shrewd, stirring, inquisitive age like the present, this is a quality very apt to be thrown aside with contempt. While great political changes are progressing, books, like men, have no time to cultivate the amenities ; they are wholly absorbed in the en forcement of the sterner duties. It is not till the deluge has subsided, that charity, like some smiling upland, can rear its meek head above the waters. The Westminster Review makes no appeal to the fancy or the feeling—it deals only with the understanding. It argues with mathematical precision and monotony. Its sar casm is coarse, bitter, and weighty, not the light play of the rapier, but the stunning blow of the bludgeon. In its tastes it is ultra-utili tarian, out-Benthaming even Bentham himself, It has no apprehension of the fine arts ; and but f?vv and faint sympathies with poetic and ficti tious literature, though it has just tact enough to see the necessity of keeping up some little show of intellectual refinement. We should never expect to meet with a superior criticism on Wilkie or Martin, or Chantry, or Scott, or Wordsworth, in the Westminster, though we should make sure of a first-rate one on Ben tham, Mill, Maculloch, or Miss Martineau. The present numba is more varied that, usual. The Thames Tunnel," though it adds little to what has already been urged on the subject, is penned in a very commendable spirit. We subjoin an extract which will doubtless be new to many of our readers : The first work placed at the head of this article, though professing to detail the origin of the Thames Tun nel, carries its account no farther back than the year 1823, the date of the commencement of the undertaking in its present form and size; but the attempt was first made in 1802, twenty-one years earlier than the time stated in that account. " At that time the want of a communication from shore to shore of the Thames was greatly felt ; and as many in surmountable obstacles presented themselves to the erec tion of a bridge, some individuals of spirit and enterpr - ze conceived the idea of excavating a sub-way beneath the bed of the river. The engineer was a person who had hid conside-able experience as a miner; he made h. rings on each aide of the stream ; pronounced the undertaking practicable, and that the expense would he much smaller than bad been at first imagined. On this favourable re port, proper surveys, plane, and estimates were made; and an Act of Parliament was obtained, incorporating the Thames Archway Company.' The first operation of the engin er was to commence sinking a shaft of eleven feet diameter to the depth where the archway was to begin ; but the obstacles which presented themselves to his progress were so numerous and unexpected, th :t he was obliged to relinquish the attempt after reaching forty-two feet in depth. In consequence of this failure, it was determined to make fresh borings ; and these pre sented results sufficiently favourable to induce one of the proprietors to engage to finish the shaft to the depth of seventy-six fee►, below which it was considered daneerous to attempt the excavation ; and the shaft was proposed to he reduced from a diameter of eleven to one of eight fret. The proposal met with the approbation of the Company, who engaged a second engineer, also expe rienced in mining operations; and the two engineers agreed to reduce tI e size of the drift-way to three feet at the bottom, and two feet six inches at the top. They proceeded to the depth of seventy-six feet, where they found a bed of thin sand, and there they opened the drift-way, which they carried forward on a very gentle and gradual ascent, and after completing 394 feet of exca vation, the Company discharged their first engineer. This was in November, 1807, and after much deliberation on the best means of insuring the fullest efforts of the re maining engin- er, the Directors agreed to present him with the sum of 1,0001. if he succeeded in reaching the opposite shore. Liberality in such cases insures exertion, And in the instance under notice it gave rise to the greatest Activity. Four hundred and twenty feet more of drift way were carried forward, and planked, through firm and dry ground ; and 138 feet more were cut through a stra tum of calcareous rock, eight feet in thickness, making 952 feet of excavation, completed by the middle of De cember of the same year. The exertions deserved stre ws; the reverse was, however, in store for them. Mis fortunes :Ater this attended their labours, baffled their ,efforts, and finally destroyed their hopes." Progress of Law Reform" is a valuable essay, pointedly expressed, and full of argument and erudition. It is scarcely the production of ig tti...ofessional mind, for few of our legal lumi naries would, and still fewer could, write it. Fairs , Mythology," which is dull and narcotic to a degree, should have been taken up by the Edinburgh or Quarterly Review; it has no business in the Westminster, where it looks as much out of place as a west-end Exquisite At the Stock Exchange. " Life of Pym," the gr eat reformer in the time of the first Charles, and the leading manager of the impeachment against that apostate, the Earl of Stafford, is well discussed. Of course Pym is exalted to the skies ; not, however, without reason, for the concurrent testimony of most of the his torians of that stormy period :makes him one Hof the most inflexible pai_riots of his age. Even the smiles of a court, which thawed the icy reservo of a Wentworth, had no power over the stern integrity of Pyrn. He was a man on whose name Englishmen must ever dwell with pride and fondness. " White's Selhourn" is a slight, sketchy account of one of the mast fas cinating books in the language. The reviewer does ample justice to the mild, unostentatious virtues of the natural historian of his native vil lage. " Future Government of British India" we should conceive,from the elaborate way if, which subject is canvassed, and the great variety oewatter introduced, to be from the pen of M. Mill. At any rate it is not unworthy of him. " Whewell's First Principles of Mechanics" is as dry, dull, and uninviting as its subject, but then, to quote a homely appropriate adage, " it is impossible to make a Bilk purse out of a sow's ear." , " Emancipation of the Jews" takes, of course, the liberal side of the question. It is of a very learned, pains-taking character, " Otter bourne" is a brief, pithy notice of a romance of that name, published some one or Lwo years since, and now, we believe, forgotten. " The Wesley Family" contains some gossiping, cha racteristic anecdotes, together with a slight biographical sketch of the celebrated founder of the family, whom Southey has immortalized in his late delightful Memoirs. " Nathan on the History and Theory of Music," should have made an interesting article, but is here inexpressibly tedious, though brief. In stead of a graceful, elegant play of fancy, we have a pedantic essay, full of hard words and allusions to the Joloffs of Africa, the Wahabees, the Ashantees, the Chinese, and their King Fum Hi. The music of the Joloffs, like half the poetry of the Cheskians, exists, we suspect, only in the imagination of the great Pangloss of his day. " Turkish Empire" contains a graphic sketch of the early history of the reign ing Sultan, who, is, however, overrated. The other matters of information in this article lie on the surface, and are known to every one who has been in the habit of skimming the journals for the last one or two years. ROMANCES OF THE CHIVALROUS AGES. 2 VOLS. LONDON, 1833. Two well-written volumes, though here and there there is somewhat too gaudy and exube rant a display of description. If the age of chivalry be not gone, as Burke assured us it was, some years since, then this tale may have a chance, and a fair one too. It abounds in picturesque sketches and romantic incidents, and has the additional advantage of some cle verish embellishments. CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY. Nos. 78, 79. LONDON. 1833. Mr. Hazlitt has observed of Wordsworth , the poet, that he is inordinately fond of peru sing books of voyages and travels. This pre dilection the great laker shares in common with the majority of readers ; though since the con tinent—the world have been thrown open to us, and even a trip to the New World is looked on as of little more moment than a trip to Paris, or Switzerland, the marvels of tourists and voyagers have, in a great degree, lost their fresh ness and novelty. Some years ago, even travels in Ireland, South Wales, among the Lakes or the Highlands, would have been perused as books of enchantment ; but those unsophisticated days are past—nothing short of an excursion to Timbuctoo, or the almost inaccessible recesses of the Himalaya's, where the traveller runs a chance of breaking his neck every step he takes; or among the ruins of Babylon, where the fall of a huge mass of earth and stones, or the bite of some roused snake, will place him in the same interesting state of jeopardy, can now sti mulate public curiosity. But if travellers' tales have in some degree lost their charm, accounts of shipwrecks, and other maritime disasters, still retain their usual strong hold over the reader's mind. They administer to the craving appetite of excitement all the food that it can possibly demand. Though monotonous to the last degree, yet their monotony is such as never wearies. The present volumes, therefore, which form an authentic digest of the most singular and eventful records of shipwrecks, from the earliest periods down to the present day, will, we anticipate, be perused with considerable in terest. The compilation is by Mr. Cyrus Redding, and does credit to his judgment. It is embellished with numerous wood-cuts. *un. FALMOUTH, JUNE 27. Early this morning arrived his Majesty's brig Royalist, from Lisbon and Oporto. She left Lisbon on the 13th, and Oporto the 15th, so that her advices have been in a treat measure anticipated by the arrival of the African. The following is the substance of intelligence brought by her : " Capt. Napier superseded Admiral Sartorius in com mand of Doo Pedro'. fleet, on the 12th instant, assuming the name and title of Don Carlos de Ponza. On the 15th the Rainho, Don Pedro, and Donna Maria frigates, Portuense corvette, and five steam vessels, were off the Douro. " Solignac resigned the command of the army on the 13tb,and General Saldanha has been temporarily appointed; hut it is believed that it will be ultimately filled by the Duke of Terceira, who, with the Marquis Palmella, at present proceeds with the expedition to the southwarl. " Oporto was well stocked with provisions, and there was a large supply outside, no less than 90 vessels being off the bar. " Don Miguel arrived at St. Ovidio on the 13th inst.; 3,000 of his troops had marched, it was conjectured, to the southward. In the Tagus, his fleet consisted of two line of battle ships, a storeship of 60 guns, one frigate, three corvettes, and three brigs, and were getting reedy for sea. Pressing had been resorted to extensively in Lisbon, hut the fleet was not half manned. Continual dceertions take place, and one corvette had been despatched after a vessel which had sailed from the Tagus, with de— serters to the Constitutional cause. " His Majesty's steamer Firefly, Lieut. Baldock, ht. , arrived from the Mediterranean. She sailed from Corfu 4th June, Patras sth, Malta 13th, Gibraltar 17th, and Cadiz 18th. She brought 26 passengers, but no news. " At Malta, his Majesty's ships Pelican, Scylla, and Rapid were lying ; at Corfu, his Majesty's brig Corde lia ;at Gibraltar, his Majesty's ship Philomel. On the 9th of June, his Majesty's steamer Flamer arrived from Faisnouth. " His Majesty's brig Briseis, Lieut. J. Downey, has arrived from Mexico, with 300,000 dollars on freight. She left Tampico 30th April, Vera Cruz 9th May, and Havannah 29th May. No news." NEW LINE OF ROAD.—It is in contemplation to make a new road from Newton through Kingst-ignton, over Little Haldon, to Exeter, making a nearer cut of three miles and a half.—Sherborne Journal. The stormy weather of late has retarded the hay harve+•t in many parts of the country. The corn crop is, generally speaking, however, both promising and abundant. The Right Hon. Lord WESTERN has been pleased to appoint the Rev. M. D. DUFFIELD, of Wi venhoe, Essex, one of his Lordship's domestic Chaplains. TRADE OF LEEDS.—A good deal of busi ness has been transacted during the week in the waollen cloth trade, and, in consequence of the improving price of wool, goods are held firnily for an advance, both by the manufacturers and merchants. The transactions with the London buyers have, therefore, been rather limited.-- Leicester Journal. DEWSBURY.—AII the mills in this neighbour hood are very busy, and some of the masters have at tempted, without success, to induce their men to work beyond the usual hours.—Leicester Journal. The Presburg Journal states that on the 13th, at ten o'clock at nivht, a most vivid firsh of light. ning, instantaneously succeeded by a tremendous clap of thunder, filled the inhabitants with terror, end imme diately afterwards the summit of the dome of the church of St: Martin was discovered to be in flames. No exer tions could save the dome, the woodwork of which burnt with resistless fury, the melted copper pouring down from the roof. The dome fell in with a dreadful crash at one in the morning, and damaged part of the ri of of the church. Happily the exertions of the inhabitants and the military, encouraged by the presence of the Archduke Palatine, the general officers, and the civic authorities, prevented the gdenes from extemling beyond th, aotne. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1833. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER last night brought forward his Bank Charter Reso lutions, and, of course, none of Mr. P. THOM SON'S Bills were proceeded with. The first of the resolutions only was put, but that opened the whole plan of the Noble Lord to discussion, and the result was such as we never recollect before witnessing. Out of the fourteen gentle men who spoke in the course of the evening, not one approved the plan as a whole. Lord ALTHORP had the mortification of hearing some feature or other of his bantling found fault with by every one of the old women assembled. Its one eye was particularly scouted. lEs Lord ship earnestly laboured to prove, that as one eye was much more easy to take care of, much less liable to accidents, its having one eye was a great advantage. Those who endeavoured to persuade him that two eyes gave the greater chance of preserving sight for a length of time were not very favourably listened to. That pimple on the face of his offspring, the 120,0001., every one declared was unworthy of being called a nose. Even Dame ArrwooD pronounced it a snub, and showed to demonstration that it was the Noble Lord's own fault, for that he might have made it a fine Roman projection. The mouth or maw of the creature was generally condemned, and not a few prophecied that when it grew up it would swallow every thing that came in its way. To be serious, we neversaw a measure so generally condemned. At the same time, we are bound to acknowledge, that each speaker had a separate cause of blame, and approved of other parts of the plan. It is 'very possible, therefore, that if Lord ALTHORP were like Joe Miller's painter, to ask the_ objectors to point out the advantages of his plan, there would not be a single part which would not be approved of. The only one of the speakers of last night who at all entered into the subject, and offered a con sistent oppositionto the plan, was Sir H.PA RNELL. He sees that it is founded on false principles, and opposes it in foto, Nearly all the :other Members who spoke have some scheme of their own equally inconsis'ent with principle. For instance, Mr. POULETT SCROPE, who seconded Colonel TORRENS'S motion for the postpone ment of the question, wants to have a Govern ment Bank; Mr. ATTWOOD wants what cannot be had, an excessive and yet undepreciated paper currency ; Sir ROBERT PEEL does not want free trade, but is opposed to making the Bank of England ❑otes a legal tender; BARING wants them to be a legal tender, but objects to the bargain made with the Bank ; while Sir F. BURDETT does not seem exactly to know what he wants. He said he was friendly to a relaxation of the currency, awl thinking the plan would relax the currency, would have been willing to vote for it on that ground ; but as Ministers declared that it was not intended to relax the currency, why he had no objection to vote for it on that contrary ground. The palaver ended in the Committee declaring, by a majority of 316 to 83, that they would not post pone the question, although Lord ALTHORP had himself declared that no information had been obtained beyond what was collected from the exparle report of last Session, and had, as Chair man of the Committee, acknowledged that— " The period of the Session at which the Committee commenced their labours, the importance and extent of the subject, anfl the approaching close of the Session, will sufficiently account to the House for the limited progress of the inquiry, and for the incompleteness of the materials which have been collected for the purpose of forming an opinion." The Committee having decided that they should go on, agreed to the first resolution, which merely pledges the House to renew the Bank Charter on some terms or other, and we doubt whether Lord ALTHORP will find it possible to get much further this session. As to the plan being agreed to as it at present stands, it is about as likely as that Lord LONDONDERRY should talk common sense, or his usual audience under stand it when talked. A question was last night asked Lord A LTHORP by Mr. HAWES, the Member for Lambeth, the answer to which is of some importance. Mr. HAWES wished to know whether, as the dis senters of Ireland had been exempted from the payment of Church rates, his Majesty's Minis ters intended, in the English Church Re form Bill, which must be brought forward next Session, in like manner, to exempt the English Dissenters from the same rate ? His Lordship answered in substance, that he thought the Church of England too poor to take upon itself the Church rate! In many parts of the country, where the Dissenters outnumber the Church of England inhabitants, they have taken the matter into their own hands, by refusing to make a rate. We would advise them not to let Lord ALTHORP'S words be thrown away. All the Dissenters throughout the country, must join those of the Established Church who wish to do away with its abuses, and insist upon the removal of this unjust burden, which the clergy have contrived to shift from their own shoulders to that of the laity. All that Lord ALTHORP means is, that he has not yet been compelled in England to do the justice which was forced upon him in Ireland. By dint of great exertion last night, the Lo cal Courts' Jurisdiction Bill was passed through the Committee of the House of Lords. Oppo sition was made to some of the clauses, but no division took place upon it. The fact is, that the high aristocrats of the House see that oppo s;tion to the legal improvements of the CHAN CELLOR would merely gratify the spleen of the mere lawyers, who oppose anything of Lord BROUGHAM'S as much from personal feeling as principle. The Lords are wise in their generation ; they see that the alteration does not touch their pockets or influence, and so let it pass. Up to a late hour this afternoon there had been no further arrival from Portugal, either at the Foreign-office or the Admiralty. An ex press, however, is hourly expected. We learn that the Lords are determined to throw out the Bill for the removal of the civil disabilities of the Jews. This is not a Cabinet question ; but the Lords will not add to their popularity by rejecting the measure which has been supported in the House of Commons by overwhelming majorities.

Some time since we mentioned the probabi lity of an alliance between the beautiful daughter of the hte Admiral STRACIIAN and a Hungarian nobleman, Count SANDON, now in this country. Much to the sur prise of the other parties concerned, the young lady, we understand, has preferred personal accomplishments to Hungarian acres, and, while the Noble Count was making his examinations in England, his financee suddvnly chose for herself the handsome and accomplished Count --, with a name unpronounceable even in Germany. It is well known that this young lady, her sister, and mother, have for some time past been domiciliated with the Marquis of HERTFORD, the guardian of the daughters under the will of the late Admiral STRACIIAN. The marriage, it is said, was not only unexpected by Lady STRACHAN and the Marquis, but wat entirely contrary to their inclina tions. Count ---- has taken his bride to his paternal estates in Hungary, where the apparance of the beautiful Englishwoman will, no doubt, cause a great sensation. 12 5 3534 HAMBURG PAPERS. ODESSA, Justx 7.--Yesterday the Russian sloop-of war Siseboli arrived here in five days from Constanti nople, bringing an official account. of the definitive arrangement of the Turco-Egyptian question, Ibrahim Pacha's forces having already commenced their retreat. Nearly at the same time a messenger arrived here, with the orders of the Emperor to suspend the expedition of the 5,000 additional men intended for the Bosphorus, adding that in case the expedition should have already sailed a quick-sailing vessel should be sent to recall it to Odessa. Although all the preparations for the departure of this expedition had been .complete for some time the troops were not yet on board. At present the artillery, which had been taken down to the shore, is being brought back to the city. The merchant vessels engaged by the Go vernment, after receiving a suitable indemnification, are to be discharged, and the stores landed. The early return of our fleet from the Bosphorus is now looked for, as well as that of the troops, who, it is said, are to perform qua rantine at Feodosia. The drought which has prevailed here for several months has completely destroyed the seed within a circumference of 200 wersts. —Austrian Ob server. HAMBURG, JUNE 22.—The Comet English steam boat, Captain W. Allen, arrived yesterday afternoon with Princess Lieven and family from London. The Russian steam-boat the Hercules, Captain Ivanow, of 24 guns, and 190 men, arrived in the road of Trave munde yesterday. GOTTINGEN, JUNE 15.—Yesterday, and to-day, all the associations in our Universities have been declared by the Academic authorities to be pro. visionally dissolved, because the several Landmano schefts (or associations of students of the same country) have reciprocally proclaimed what is called the Verruf against each other ( a kind of hue and cry, by which all intercourse between them is suspended.) A confirmation of this measure by superior authority is ex pected, and may perhaps be hastened by the Verruf. The University Court continues its investigation with this affair. The number of the Prussians in this University is small in comparison with Heidelburg, and the loss of them, which probably will be only partial, will be scarcely per ceived. HAMBURG, JUNE 24.—The Hanoverian Gazette confirms the preceding particulars of the suspension of all associations among the students at Gottingen. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

LISBON PAPERS. LISBON, JUNE s.—His Majesty's Government has re ceived to-day official accounts from Coimbra, dated the 3d, which announce that his Majesty arrived there the pre ceding afternoon, in excellent health, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the inhabitants, who were rejoiced at the presence of our august Sovereign, who is the delight of the Portuguese nation. JUNE 6.—By accounts from Coimbra of the 4th, his Majesty and their Royal Highnesses were in good health. The procession of Corpus Christi was celebrated to-day, with all the pomp suitable to the occasion. JUNE 7.—A despatch from the Conde de S. Lourenclo, dated from S. Mamede da Infeata, June 1, to Count San tarem, announces that the sanitary state of the army was perfectly satisfactory. VILLA NOVA DE GAIA, MAY 31.—The fire of our batteries in Oporto continues, and the desertions from the city do not cease. Among the last that have come is a French Major, a Lieutenant-Colonel, with his wife, two soldiers, and two sailors, with his baggage. Some fishing boats and others belonging to the rebels, have ran great risks to land provisions, in doing which some have been sunk, and others driven out to sea by the fire of our batteries, for it is only by night that any escape, since none can get in by day. From the loss of the boats, many men have perished, so that there are many widows, orphan children, mothers deprived of their sons, &c. Such has been the destruction of the boats and barkg, both of the Foz and the Douro. The inhabitants of Oporto have been subjected to a fifth contribution, suf fering at the same time the destruction and ruin of their houses, the stagnation of all resources, and all kinds of misery and distress; but as they would have it so, it is well that they now experience all these calamities.— Cor reio do Porto. LISZON, JUNE 7.—An edict of the Board of Trade communicates an extract of a despatch from the Portu guese Charge d'Affaires in the United States of North America, to Viscount Sartorius, announcing that, in con sequence of his application to the American Govern ment in October 31, 1832, for the repayment of the tonnage duty, paid in the month of July, 1831, at Berlin, by the Portuguese yacht Boa Nova, of St. Michael in the Azores, the Congress had given orders to the National Treasury to make this repayment to the persons who should be duly empowered lay the owners. He begs that this notice may be inserted in the Lisbon Gazette, for the information of the owners, or of any other persons who may think they have a claim to similar repayment; the principle being, that the tonnage duties are to be returned to the ships of those nil/ions:from which they have been received, since they exempted from such duties the ships of the United States. The Charge d'Affaires gives it as his opinion, that, as for the last eighteen years (i.e. since the act of Congress of 3dl March, 1815, offering to foreign ships reciprocal favour in the ports of America), ships under the Portuguese flag have con tinued to pay higher duties to the 25th March last year ; any well founded claim for the restitution of the excess of duties paid by Portuguese ships in American ports, during these eighteen years must be favourably attended to. JUNE 11.—The Gazette contains a journal of the measures adopted by the Minister of the Interior during the mortality which affects the capital and some other places. These measures are of different dates, from the Bth to the 27th of April, and contain chiefly police regu lations for the care of the sick, the burial of the dead, the cleanliness of the streets, &c.—Lisbon Gazettes, to the 12th of Jane inclusive. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Lisbon mail has arrived, but it is of an old date, which sailed on the 13th instant, and from Oporto the 15th. A Malta mail has likewise arrived, which sailed on the Bth June, and from Gibraltar the 17th ; also a mail from Mexico, which sailed from Vera Cruz the 9th May, and from the Havannah the 29th. We have also arrivals from the East Indies of old dates. THE FUNDS. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 89 % to 90 for the Account ; they are now 90 to 1 ,6. The debate in the House last night on the Bank question, which has been postponed till Monday, is rather a dry subject, and only of importance to the moneyed interest. Up to the present hour we have no further accounts of Don Pedro's expedition, which are most anxiously looked for. The Mexican packet brings 300,000 dollars freight, but no news of importance from Mexico. The dispute between the Marquis Rias and the Mine Company has not been adjusted. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. To the present time we are without any political informa tion, consequently the Funds have continued steady during the morning. Consols may be quoted 90 for the Account, with little or nothing doing. The private letters from Mexico, of the 6th May, state that all was tranquil there. The accounts from the Mines are favourable. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the British, without the least interest, and the prices the same as yesterday. THREE 0' CL CK. Consols for the Account, 90 RUINOUS BUILDINGS.—The City Autho rities have availed themselves of the excellent provisions of the Building Act in the case of dilapidated buildings, by requiring the pulling down of several houses in the old style of architecture with projecting stories situate at the Holborn end of Fetter-lane. Some have already been pulled down, and notices in the case of others were yester day affixed. It is said some few more will share the rune fate. The consumption of tea in the whole civilized world, besides England, is 22,000,0001 b., while the consumption of Great Britain and Ireland is 31,931,6261 b. _Devonshire Chronicle. r~r~IR COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY).
