W.—The Java (the crew of which have been, and now are, perfectly healthy), is the bearer of an immense number of letters, she came into harbour this afternoon to be paid off, and at sunset, Rear-Admiral Gage struck his flag. The Lord William Bentinck transport, Lieutenant Grigg, agent, arrived yesterday from the Mediterranean with a number of invalids from the fleet, and returned Government stores on board. This ship, with nearly a hundred sail more, put into Scilly on the Ist instant, on (recount of the strong easterly winds which have so long prevailed, some of which were in a most distressed state for want of provisions and other supplies. The transpor t left Ma!ta on the Bth November, at which time there was no ;flea entertained of an early return home of any of our men-of-war in that quarter. The greatest part of the Russian fleet was lying at Poros, some were at Egina Vice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, in the Asia, was at Egina, but was about to proceed Corfu, where it was the intention of the Admiral to be on Christmas-day. The ships on the station were healthy. The Ocean, Britannia, Spartiate, Revenge, Isis, Madagascar, and Erebus, were at Ithlta; also the Orestes transport, Lieutenant Garrett, as an hospital ship. The Windsor Castle, Wellesley, and Favourite, were at Vourla. The Melville sailed the same day as the Lord Wibiam Bentinck left, to join the Com m !ruler-in-Chief. The Lord William Bentinck touched at Gibraltar coming home, but did not receive pratique. Sh e there took on board despatches from the Governor, anti several military invalided officers from the garrison, and left the bay on the 10th Dec. The Onyx transport, Lieut. Derourdeaux, was taking in stores, anti was to sail for England the next day, for this port. anti may be hourly expected. 'The Henry Porcher transport, from Cork, had landed the troops and sailed for Malta. The Dartmouth, Sir T. Fellowcs, left Gibraltar on the 20th for Cadiz; the Reynard packet was lying there from Corfu and Malt t, hot was to sail for England two slays after the Lord William, Bentinck. Lieutenant Murray, 85th Regiment, came passenger in the Lord William Bentinck. She al-o brought home a lioness for the Zoological Society, Lon 'lon.

Arrived yesterday, the Alert, Tyson, for Cape Coast Castle. Sailed the Marlhorourh, Middleton, for Jamaica. Arrived to-day the Lord Melville, Brown, from Batavia to Antwerp, for the winter. The Erasmus of London, a smuggling cutter of about .50 tons, was taken a few days since, within six miles of Poorhead, with 300 half hales of tobacco, by the Speedy, tender to his Majesty', Ship Semiramis (flag ship at Cove.) The crew, four in number, were al taken. It does not appear that she had landed any part of her cargo. On Thursday arrived the Dani.h brig Diana, J. P. Reg-gesrn, Master, from Cephalonia, with currants, for Amsterdam ; and after being released from quarantine, went to Cowes to winter, or until the ice is broken up.

On Monday next the Belvidera frigate will be undorked, after a five months' repair, and the Elephat, 58, will be taken into Dock on the fill owing day. This ship was Ludt at jiursledon, in the year 1786, by Mr. Parsons, and it is now nearly twelve years since she was docked. She, in all probability, will either require a large repair, or will he broken up.— Hampshire Telegraph. DEVONPORT, JAN. 9.—His Majesty's ship ?lerald, Commander G. B. Maxwell, with Mr. Turner, Envoy Extraordinary for Colombia, arrived at Madeira, from this port, on the 25th of November, and sailed on the 6th December for Carthagena.

It must be highly gratifying to the gentlemen who have so laudably undertaken the renewed inquiry into the condition of the poor operative., and who have communicated the result of their inquiries to the London Committee, to witness so speedy and beneficent a result of their labours.—Leeds Mercury. On Saturday an inquest was held at the White Horse, at Brixton, on the body of MARY WATTS, a mar ried female. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the deceased was an immoderate gin -drinker, and that all the money she could " rap and ring" was . spent in the in dulgence of this fatal propensity. She was in the habit of not only pledging her own clothes but those of her husband to mist moitey to purchase gin, which she would drink to a great excess. The day on which she lost her life her husband went out is the morning, and during his absence it appeared that she got drunk, and while in that state her clothes caught fire. It is imagined that he was so totally deprivA of sense or motion ft um the er etc of the liquor she h.id drank, that tendered it impossi!.'.a for her to give any alarm, for on the entrance of her husband in the afternoon, he found her remains near the fire-place, burnt in such a dreadful manner as to render it iinrossiiile to distinguish a single feature. A verdict of c• Accidental death" was returned.

Our readers will observe in another column a circular from the Secretary of Lunatics, addressed to the Keepers of Lunatic Receptacles, sent by direction of the LORD CHANCELLOR. We have heard that doubts are entertained in a high official quarter of the propriety of renew ing the license to keep a receptacle, to a well known Mad Doctor. We hail the circumstance as the forerunner of an early abolition by law, of Physicians keeping receptacles—for the mere withholding'a license from one individual, how ever gross his misconduct, would effect but little benefit, while it left to the same class of per sons the same opportunity, the same means, and the same motives to pursue a like course. Un happily there are persons always ready to resort to any occupation, however base—provided it yields profit—thus the low haunts of immorality, the Hell arid the Receptacle, alike find keepers and victims ;—the victims of the two former however are mostly voluntary, and minister to their own miseries—while the victims of the lat ter are beings suffering under the heaviest dis pensation of Providence, or persons who, from the foulest motives, are falsely alleged to be so. As Physicians of reputation, station, and cha racter, never keep receptacles, it has often ex cited our surprise that the profession do not stand forth and vindicate their own character, by annulling this unseemly connexion ? Why is it that a Physician, directly he becomes con cerned in the sale of drugs and medicines, ceases to be a Member of the College, and that Mad Doctors, that is, Physicians who keep recep tacles (often apothecaries who have contrived to obtain diplomas), are allowed to carry on that disgraceful trade, and continue members ? Is it that the College, like other ancient and decrepid Corporations, is incapable of any active or generous exertion in its corporate character, and is alive only to the litdenesses that perpe tuate its decrepitude, or serve the interests of sonic of its members ? The public cannot but recollect that the nomination of the Coin missioners to superintend lunatic receptacles formerly rested with the College of Physicians, and that it was under their visitation, the atro cities committed reached the height that ulti mately compelled the Legislature to vest their nomination in the Secretary of State, with whom it very properly now rests. By the unnatural and degrading union of the two distinct offices of physician and receptacle keeper, the care of lunatics unhappily mills into the hands of the lower order of medical practitioners, and as a natural consequence, that important branch of medical practice sinks into a species of empiricism, accompanied by that daring and hardened effron tery, the leading characteristic of quackery of all descriptions,—that pompous self-sufficiency that never accompanies true merit, and a perfect de votion to the principle of self-interest,—the only principle with which quacks ever are acquainted. Insanity requires to be treated by a mind of superior order. Had we the misfortune to have a near connexion afflicted with that awful visita tion, the last advice we should seek or listen to would be that of a Mad Doctor, who, even sup posing him to possess the talent, to use the lan guage of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL 44 has a direct interest against the honest advice he ought to give." He, " of course, wishes his establishment to be full," and it has been slim', by the evidence of Mad Doctors before DAVIES'S Lunacy Com mission, what ample latitude a Mad Doctor takes to fill his reuptacle,—since even the most innocent or ordinary acts in life, of every day occurrence, whether they arise from accident or volition, are by him deemed evidence of insa nity, that is, when there is any one to pay the Mad Doctor for inearcerafug the unfortunate object—thus:— To complain of a sore throat, is evidence of insanity To purchase a country house is evidence of insanity! To ride fast on a grey horse, is evidence of insanity ! To deny to-day that he was mad at any past day the Mad Doctor may think fit to name, is damning evidence of insanity ! ! To express joy or satisfaction at passing the walls of a receptacle, after nine months' incarce ration, is evidence of insanity,—and the Mad Doctor is right for once (perhaps the first time) when he twits his victim, who is taken back to the receptacle, instead of re-entering the world, with haring suffered—A DELUSION ! The above is all in evidence, and has been sworn to by Mad Doctors ;—whether they will swear to the converse of what they have sworn, when their interest requires and opportunity offers, time must shew ;—as to what they may be capable of swearing, after what they have already sworn, we leave the public to form their own opinions. The following are extracts from St. Peters burg, Dutch, and Hamburg Papers, received this morning : ODESSA, DEC. 12. Our port has been frozen over since the Sth, but on the 9th, a gust of wind having broken up the ice for a few hours, three English and one Sardinian vessels took ad vantage of the opportunity to put to sea. Many other vessels might have followed their example, but most of the Italian captains are so unskilful, and their crews so little accustomed to obedience, that several vessels which were already laden, could not get out, and must pass the winter here if the cold should continue. Our journals contain numerous promotions and flivours conferred by the Emperor. AXSTERDAM, JUNE 5. The plan of saying a passage through the ice in the Canal of North Holland, in order to let some ships that have their cargo on board proceed to the Niervoe Deep, has been checked, but not hindered, by the severe frost. The work is continued, and the !ships must arrive this evening at Ilpendam. EFULIN, JAN. 4. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is gone to St. Pe tersburgh. His 'Majesty has conferred the Order of the Black Eagle on Counts Dieldtsch and Paskewitsch, and that of the Red Eagle of the First Class on Baron Alexander Von Humboldt. The whole population of our kinge.om at the end of the year IS2S was, according to official statements, 12,726,110 souls:—viz. Protestants Catholics .. Anabaptists Jews 160,778 HAMBURG, JAN. 5.

Of bar iron only 211,193 ship pounds were exported, and the whole exportation amounted only to 242,269 ship pounds. COPENHAGEN, DEC. 26. We find in the Swedish Journals a comparative view of the latest prices of corn in Europe, from which it appears that they were lower in Alm than at any other place. In the month of November, no less than five ships, two of them Swedish, were strandtd in Gothlaad. FRANKFORT, D.C.r 31. We learn that several great bankers will shortly meet at Paris, in order to bid for the new French loan of eighty millions, on the 12th of next month. VIENNA, DEC. 27. The Duchess of Parma must have recovered from her illness, for on her birth-day she had a drawing-room, and the day before a chapter of the orders of the Duchy. HAMBURG, JAN. 1. In the course of last year, according to the official lists, there were births, 4,120; deaths, 4,771 ; excess of de ithe, 651. The number of ships, large and small, that arrived here last year from the sea, was 2,089, including 60 that winter at Cuxhaven. Among them were :—From the East Indies, 4 ; Colombia, 11 ; Brazil, 101 ; Holland, including the steam-boats which have performed 31 voyages, in all, 394 ; Great Britain, (including those in ballast, and many small vessels laden with cement, and the four steam-boats which have performed 61 voyages) 809 ; France 106 ; Mediter ranean, 91. At Bremen the arrivals were 881, (199 fewer than in 1828.) Among them were:—From Great Bri tain. 110 ; United States of America, 66 ; France, 37 ; Russia, 90 ; Hanover, 131 ; Oldenburg., &c. 99. STOCKHOLM, DEC. 22. The Diet has granted the loan of 746,000 rix-dollars to complete the Gotha Canal. Oar diet, which has now been sitting above a year, has cost several farmers, for the support of their deputies, more than the taxes on their farms for four or five years. The French Chambers meet on Tuesday the 2d of March. An ordinance to that of fect appeared in the Moniteur of Thursday . This long delay is conclusive as to the present ability and future hopes of the French Mi nistry. The elevation of Prince LEOPOLD to the Throne of Greece still forms the theme of the French Journals. The following, from the Constitutionnel, is at least curious. Who would have supposed that the heiress to the British Crown was indebted to its greatest enemy for a husband ? (From the Constitutionnel.) " SINGULAR ORIGIN OF THE PRINCE LEOPOLD OF SAXE- COBURG ' S ELEVATION TO THE THRONE or GREECE. " All eyes are at present fixed upon Pri nce L eopo ld o f Saxe-Coburg. This Prince's fortune is singular. It is not owing to the lustre of his birth, nor to any cause per sonal to himself, that he thus occupies public attention.— He is indebted for it to his character of son-in-law to the King of England, and to the chances which this character gives him of aTiring to rule over modern Greece. If this event should occur, he will be much indebted to Napoleon; for he was the primary cause of his alliance with the heiress to the throne of Great Britain, from whence now originate his pretensions to a new crown. " It may be supposed that such an assertion stands in need of proof to support it. To supply it we must go back a little. '• WhilA Napoleon marched on Moscow, England ne glected no means of arresting the torrent which threatened to sweep all before it. It was no longer possible to raise up opponents to Napoleon amongst monarchs. They had all submitted to him, his slaves or allies. The people, until that time so despised and since considered of no ac count, were next thought of. Advantage was taken of the discontent occasioned by a state of permanent war, and all the evils resulting from it; and in the name of public interests, the support of multitudes was solicited towards the restoration of thrones. " Amongst the people oppressed by the existence of the continental system, the inftaction of which wis declared to be the cause of the invasion of Rucia, none suffered more than the Hollanders from the interruption of com merce and navigation. The position of Holland, border ing on ancient France, and her proximity to the British Due. ._~ coast, must extremely facilitate any project founded on a rising of the people against the power of Napo leon. But the partisans of independence in Holland required a chief who was previously dear to the country. What• better choice could be made in this re spect than that of the Prince of Orange, whose name was identified with the recollection of the liberty con quered from Philip 11. ? The Cabinet of St. James cast its eyes on the hereditary Prince of Orange, then serving in Spain in the capacity of Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington, as a proper chief for the ancient vassals of his family. This young man already excited the most favourable hopes; but, quite unknown to the people, whose leader it was proposed to make him, without any previous acquaintance which would enable them to appee diate his personal capacity,—without political weight, owing to the loss of the territories of his house,—it was felt that it was necessary in the first instance to represent him under very favourable circumstances, in order that he might acquire the public confidence as soon as he appear ed. His marriage with the Princess Charlotte was re solved upon by the three Houses of Hanover, Brunswick, and Orange. " The arrangement wanted nothing but the consent of the young people. It was not without cause that fears were entertained on this point. Their mutual dislike had been manifested on several occasion. " Matters were in this position when the Imperial Po lice of Hamburg learnt that one of the principal officers of the House of Orange had furnished himself at Berlin with a rassport under a fictitious name, by means of which he hoped to proceed to England. To stop his jour ney would have been easy ; but nothing was known re specting his mission, which appeared the more important because it was veiled in mystery. It was considered better to follow hioa in his course. " He was lost sight of in London for some weeks, and already his watchers were beginning to despair of refinding him, when he suddenly re-appeared, visited the members of the three illus , rious families before mentioned, and re embarked for Gottenburgh, a Swedish town situated on the Sund. " There he took another passport and disguise, but not withstanding this double deception he was recognised and arrested as soon as he put foot on the Imperial territory. `• The papers found in the secret pocket of the travel ler's carriage, announced that he had been commissioned to proceed to the young Prince, with the intention of in ducing hiin to marry the heiress to the English throne. Not having found him in London, he had been obliged to proceed to Spain, where the young Prince served in the English army. It was this voyage which caused the tra veller to be lost sight of. " Tlvt envoy of the house of Orange, a man of merit and courage, took part iu the battle of Talavera de la Reyna by the side of his young master, who distinguished himself in this action, and was wounded there. The morning after the action he was intrusted with various letters, amongst which was one from Lord Wellington, de claring the hopelessness of all efforts against the firm reso lution of his Aid-de-Camp not to contract the union which was urged upon him. The Prince's reply stated the motives of his refusal.— They were confidential, and should not be divulged ; but a just and noble pride dictated his last phrase, which was as follows I will never consent to be the first subject of my wife.' " The originals of these despatches were sent the same day to the Emperor, who received them at the moment when he was entering the Kremlin. As soon as he was acquainted with their contents, be said to the Prince d'E e k mu ld_ , Here is an important project laid open. I well know how to prevent this mar iage, by means of • which it is meant to excite my people of Holland to rebel ' against me.' Napoleon, during his retreat, carefully preserved the letter of the young Prince, and on his arrival at Paris he c used it to be sent to the Princess Charlotte. She em ployed it to u t au end to the importunities with which she was assailed. " During the journey that the Emperor Alexander made into England whilst his trcops were in France, Prince Leopold, who was in his suite, was noticed by the Princess, and soon afterwards he was accepted as son-in-law by her august father. " This Prince, therefore, is indebted to Napoleen for his unhoped for alliance. He even owes to him the crown of Greece, if he should obtain it; but for the destruction of the project of the houses of Hanover and Orange, he would have been still in the service of Russia. Assuredly Met ternich, Wellington, and Polignac, wou'd not have sought for him to place in his hands the sceptre of Greece." From the statement put forth in the News papers we might be induced to believe that the late discussions in the Medico-Botanical So ciety arose from a personal feeling of the illus triou3 Nobleman who presides, and Mr. FROST, who is represented as a persecuted and injured individual. Lord STANHOPE, as the pre siding officer of the Council, explained the causes that had led to a proposal of suspending Mr. FROST from the office of Director at the first meeting—at the second he assigned the reasons that rendered his ejec tion necessary. Unwilling on the first meeting to state many facts which were known to his Lord ship, he confined himself merely to those points which demanded an immediate explanation. This being refused, and the conduct of Mr. FROST upon that occasion exciting at once the displeasure and indignation of :hose who were fully ac quainted with the facts, it became necessary on the next opportunity to enter more fully upon each subject. The points most dwelt on then were, the detention of the Library and Herbaria of which ire had not the custody as Director, but which had been entrusted to his care to be de- livered to the proper officers, when called for. His evasive answer was, 'liet application had not been made to him ; though it was distinctly proved that it had been made et his house. His accounts with the Society remain, it ap pears, unsettled since April last, the Anniversary Dinner Tickets even not having been accounted for. The admission of corresponding members without the sanction of the Society, and excusing such persons as Lord NUGENT, the Duke of ST. ALBANS, and LOld COYYNGIIAM, from any payment without assigning any reason, or stating it to the Society for its approbation, was also mentioned—whilst it appeared that compo sitions paid by members instead of annual sub scriptions, had never been given in to the Treasurer. That Lord STANHOPE, with his upright and honourable mind, should have used strong lan guage, can surprise no one who heard his Lord ship state how much he had been deceived by Mr. FROST, by dark insinuations against some of the Members, and by the false statements he made which led to the expulsion of Mr. BROWN ; and if his Lordship, from mo tives of delicacy and forbearance, passed over the causes which led to the Duke of CUMBER LAND'S dismissing Mr. FROST from his situa tion, the Public may yet learn how near Mr. FROST'S conduct led to a collision which Would have been most painful to that Royal Person and to Lord STANHOPE. If Mr. FROST'S conduct bad been always straight forward, why has he always been before the public in dispute with those who pa tronized ? Ile never retains those friends he with so much zeal acquires ; alike Dr. MATON, Dr. PARIS, Sir JAMES MACGREGOR, and, finally, Lord STANHOPE, have at various times withdrawn that patronage with which they ho noured him, and which fostered a career which, without a change in his conduct, seems likely to terminate in the literary world. Summonses were issued this morning for holding a Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office to-morrow at Two o'clock. In consequence of the northerly winds the usual despatches from Paris and Brussels have not been received. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. The following account has been received from Liverpool dated Jan. 9 :—The sales of Cotton this day amoiant to 1,000 bags, with a steady market. The imports this week are 2,166 bags, and the sales only 5,650 bags, at scarcely the prices of last week. In Sugar 550 hhds of Britisk Plantation have been disposed of this week, at former rates. In Foreign and East India no transac. tions. The trade has taken 130 casks of Coffee. We have had for last Tuesday's market a good supply of Wheat and Oats. In Wheat little business was done. Our arrivals this morning are few, and not of much importance. The French mail remains due. Accounts have been received from Bombay to the 12th August, which state that the accounts from the northward mention that the rains had set in most favourably throughout Guzerat, and that the talented and . judicious administration of Sir John Malcolm in Central India now begins to tell on Guzerat. Lima Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-hoHse to the 31st July, but their con tents arc not interesting, as they only bring the accounts of the armistice with Colombia.

LORD TEYNIIAM 2% TYLER......ILLNINS 01 THE ATTORNEY-GENEICAL. This case, which had been specially appointed for tO morning, is one of very great importance to the partie d interested, and is likely to occupy the Court several Counsel for the plaintiff, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL' Mr. Serjeant JONES, and Mr. DOWLING ; for the de" fendant, Mr. Serjeant WILDE, Mr. KNIGHT, Mr. Seeje3 o E. LAWES, and Mr. KELLY. When the case wee called on Mr. Serjeant JONES O ij he had to apply to his Lordship for a postponement, °° the ground of th e s u dd en an d severe ill ness o f hi e L ear ned Friend the Attorney-General, who was engaged O r the plaintiff, and was to have opened the cuOt He (Mr. Serjeant Jones) had received a lett( r,which state that co severe was the attack that the Attorney-Genet s ' was unable to leave his bed ; under such circumstances ht trusted the Court would postpone the trial for a few dal° particularly as it was a question of very great importance° the parties. In asking for this indulgence, he was wdjlin to submit to any terms his Lordship might please to im pose, but he was not prepared now to go on. Mr. Serjeant WILDE Buyer could consent to the el being postponed. The pat ties for whom h e a p peare d 1 ,5 i already been put to an immense ex p ence an d trou bl e , se now all the witnesses were in attendance, he thereford hoped his Lordship would order the trial to proceed. The Lord CHIEF JUSTICE.—The present Sittings tt Westminster were appointed for the express purpose hearing this cause. 1 feel for the difficulty of the plaisl" in being deprived of the able assistance of the Attorney: General, but those difficulties are greatly removed by bi d having the assistance of my learned brother (Janes) 17 whose hands his interests will not suffer. I cannot under the present circumstances consent to a postponement. 1 - b d trial must proceed. Only seven Special Jurymen answered to their name Mr. Serjeant JONES therefore prayed a tales. The ab' persons summoned on the jury were fined 101. each' in several cases, however, the fine was remitted, it beirl ascertained that they had left the residence where the sum' mons was left for two or three years. The Lord CHIEF JUSTICE. censured in strong terms tbt gross neglect of parish officers in making such ineerrec i returns. A long discussion now ensued as to which Fie), 14 the right to begin. Mr. Serjeant WILDE contended that all the decided old were in favour of the defendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion the defendS was entitled to that privilege. Mr. Serjeant \\Tune then addressed the Jury, and io formed them that this was an action brought by the Hie Hon. Lord Teynham, to recover possession of ee rta o estates which he claimed under a deed executed by Henri tenth Earl Teynham. The Learned Serjeant then d e. , tailed the parts of the cause which h e d escr ib e d as one °' very great importance. They were not, however, of al'Y public interest. The galleries of the Court were very much crowded parties interested in the result of this cause. Lord Ter ham sat by the side of his Counsel. EXECUTION-(THIS MORNING.) This morning, at the usual hour, William Banks, age d 29, underwent the extreme penalty of the law at the ter of Horsemonger-lane gaol. The unhappy criminal was convicted at the last King , tnn Sessions, as one of the gang concerned in thq boa; lacy' at the house of the Rev. Mr. W arr i ngton, of Vi Moulsey. The affair was attended with circumstances °, a violent and extraordinary nature, as our readers n 1 remember, the Rev. Gentleman, his wife, and domeso being pinioned and placed in the cellars, during th e tifoe the perpetrators were employed in carrying off c o nsider able booty. Since the order for execution, the miserable culpri t hal conducted himself with becoming firmness, and d e ter; mination. A little before nine o'clock the unfortuos t man was pinioned in the Chapel-yard, during which acknowledged to Mr. Walter, the Governor of the go v that he was present at the burglary for which he was cos; demned to suffer, but his confession did not extend further. In a short time, during which he was engaged,' prayer, the signal wa s g iv en , an d th e ill - f ated be i ng 0' launched into eternity; he died hard, being a very O r cular man. RICHELIEU, A TALE OF THE COURT 1 :°, FitAxcE.—Few works, since the publication of " tiS a e verley," have promised, according to the opinion of %b best judges, to run so bright a car ee r as the histori c! i , romance of " Richelieu" lately p u bli s h e d. Amidst tP,:, multitude of subjects which Novelists hare chosen, it remarkable that no one has hitherto employed his Pe' upon the extraordinary and stirring times of that remort less Mini s t er , th at d ar i ng and successful politician, Cardinal de RICHELIEU. There is a dark and mle tf , rious interest attached to all the proceedings of lb! great but cruel man, whi c h i s i n i tse lf a great po t'' ; '; gained in favour of the Roman c i er . W e understand WI Sir WALTER SCOTT has expressed himself highly plea?, with the work, which is said to come from the p e n of son of Dr. Ja'stes. If it he the production of a yol4 writer, it promises others of power and excellence el conic, which may take their place boldly beside the bee our historical romances for character and interest; but it be the work of a practised and older writer, it is deserving of that welcome from the public due to a man"' high genius. The Hon. Mr. MoNcicrox, of Fineshade whose death we this day announce, was brother to the late Lord GALWAY, and to the Dowager Lady Coax.

A curious circumstance occurred at Campb el' ton on Tuesday last. A respectable and happy pair united that evening, at seven o'clock, in Hymen's ball;;, having previously arranged that they and their respect i v parties should proceed the sam e n i g h t to Gl asgow by t 4 Londonderry steamer, to spend the honeymoon.
