THE SECOND GEORGE.—I have not given the character of this Prince. The fire of his temper appeared in every look and gesture, which, being unhappily under the direction of a small understanding, was every day throwing him upon some indiscretion. Ile was naturally sincere ; and his pride told him that he was placed above constraint, not reflecting that a high rank carries along with it a necessity of a more decent and regular beha viour than is expected from those who are not in so conspicuous a light. He was so far from being of that opinion, that he looked upon all the men and women he saw as creatures he might kick or kiss for his di version ; and, whenever he met with any opposition in those designs, he thought his opposers insolent rebels to the will of God, who created them for his use, and judged of the merits of all people by their ready submission to his orders, or the relation they bad tohis power. And in this view he looked upon the princess as the most meritorious of her sex, and she took care to keep him in that sentiment by all the arts she was mistress of. He had married her by inclination ; his goodnatured father had been so' com plaisant as to let him choose a wife for himself. She was of the house of Anspach, and brought him no great addi tion either of money or alliance ; but was at that time esteemed a German beauty, and had that genius which qualified her for the government of a fool, and made her despicable in the eyes of men of sense—l mean a low cun ning, which gave her an inclination to cheat all the people she conversed with, and often cheated herself in the first place, by showing her the wrong side of her interest, not having understanding enough to observe that falsehood in conversation, like red on the face, should be used very seldom and very sparingly, or they destroy that inte rest and beauty they are designed to heighten. Her first thought on her marriage was to secure to herself the sole and whole direction of her spouse ; and to that person she counterfeited the most extravagant fondness for his person ; yet, at the same time, so devoted to his plea sures (which she often told him were the rule of all her thoughts and actions), that whenever he thought proper to find them with other women, she even loved whoever was instrumental to his entertainment, and never resented any thing but what appeared to her a want of respect for hi m ; and in this light she really could not help taking no tice that the presents made to her on her wedding were not worthy of his bride, and at least she ought to have had all his mother's jewels. This was enough to make him lose all respect for his indulgent father. He downright abused his Ministers, and talked impertinently to his old grandmother, the Princess Sophia, which ended in such coldness towards all his family as left him entirely under the government of his wife.—Lord IVharncliffe's Lady Wortley. PORT WINE.—The Diario do Governo contains a very curious decree, classifying and regulating the expor tation of wines from Oporto, in the programme of which document the Minister of Finance states, that the wine which is usually exported to England being of superior and medicinal quality, and subject to an excessive rate of duties in England, excludes the introduction of the second qua lity into that kingdom, but that it may find a market in America ; and, being inferior to that exported to England, ought consequently to pay less export duties. The provi sions of this decree, founded upon the Minister's report, are-Ist., that the first quality of wine, usually exported to Great Britain, may henceforward be exported to all parts of the .. world ; 2d, that the second quality can on ly exported to America paying the same duties (12,000 reis per pipe) as paid by the superior quality, the casks to be branded with the Custom-house mark " second quality ;" and 3d, that half-the duties shall be refunded on proof of the same being landed, when exported in foreign, and two thirds if in national, vessels. Thus, whilst the liberty of exporting the first and second qualities of port-wine extends to America, the first quality only is allowed to be exported to England, thereby not only placing Great Britain on a less favourable footing than America, but absolutely.regu lating Englishmen's tastes, and the sort of wine they are to drink at their tables. BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At a meet- I ing of this Society, held at. their rooms, 11, Johri-street, Adelphi, on Thursday, Dec. 15, J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S., the President, in the Chair, several members were elected, and donations to the library, museum, and herbarium were announced, and thanks ordered to be returned. The meeting was numerously attended, comprising several ladies, members of this society. The Secretary read a communication from Dr. M'lntyrc, F.L.S., on the plants growing spontaneously on and about Warley-common, Essex. He stated, the common itself is an elevated and gravelly plain, with two or three ponds on its sur face, and a branching bog near its northern end. These ponds and. boggy hollows, as well as the shady lanes and watery ditches towards Brook-strect and Brentwood, teem with interesting botanical specimens. He also stated.that the number of genera of which he had seen specimens, ex ceeds 340, including ten genera of ferns. Now all the British genera of the same kind, that is, pliwnogamous plants and • ferns, do not exceed 480 ; so that we have nearly two-thirds of this latter number on a superfices of less than two miles. The number of species found altogether—ferns, 23; mono cotyledmies, • 136 ; and dycotyledones, 346 ; the whole amounting to 701. A communication from Mr. Dennes, confirming the habitats of some rare plants found round Deal, Kent, as mentioned in Mr. Watson's" New Botanist's Guide," was also read. Some remarks were then made by Dr. Macreight, F.L.S., and the Curator, upon the ne cessity of sending specimens to the museum and herbarium, with their names and localities affixed to them.

Bowler, hackneynsan, Dorset-square The most alarming apprehensions are felt for the safety of Lieutenant Stephens, of the Coast Guard, and four of his men, who put to sea in a galley yesterday week, from Copperas Gap, with the intention of rendering assistance to the tender bf the Stork revenue cutter, which was dismasted, and have not been heard of since. It was between three and four o'clock when they pushed the boat off, and dark ness soon came over them ; there was a somewhat heavy swell, but the sea was not particularly rough. Intelligence of the arrival of the cutter at Portsmouth has reached Brighton, but no tidings of Lieutenant Stephens and his men, who, it is feared, are all lost. What renders the cir cumstance more distressing is, that Lieutenant Stephens and two of his boatmen have wives and families, who are in a dreadful state of suspense.—Mornine Y Paper. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 17. IN RE THE NEWARK CHARITIES. On the motion to confirm the report of the Master, ap pointing new trustees to the charities of Newark, Mr. BIRD was instructed to pray that the matter might be referred back to the Master with regard to three of the charities, in which the corporation merely possessed a power of distributing the funds in conjunction with others, and among them in one instance of the vicar of the parish. An intimation from the Court in the shape of a direction might have the effect of stopping much expensive legislation. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no power to make any de claration on the subject. All that the Act directed him to do was to appoint new trustees in the place of the Corpora tion ; and, that being done, the Court had no further juris diction.—The report was then confirmed. ROLLS COURT, DEC. 17. GLYNN V. HOUSTON. This cause came before the Court on a demurrer put in to a bill for a discovery. The bill was filed by the plaintiff, a British merchant at Gibraltar, against the defendant, Lieutenant-General Sir William Houston, the Governor- General of that possession. The bill stated, that in No vember, 1831, the defendant caused Lieutenant-Colonel Meyer, his. military secretary, with a guard of soldiers, to go into the dwelling-house of the plaintiff, under the text of searching for the celebrated General To7,;:jos, to blockade it for several hours, to prevent the 'lnmates from coming out, and that when the n i .",,intiff himself at tempted to go out in his own JP:wfui avocations, and for the purpose of inquiring 0- ay he was thus detained a pri soner, a sentinel at tt'.e door levelled his musket at him, and said he would shoot him on the spot if he came out. The bill then stated that Gen. Torrijos was not in the plaintiff's house at the time the search was made ; that the plaintiff had written a letter to the defendant, wishing to know his reason for committing the alleged as sault, and that in answer he received a letter from the mili tary secretary, saying that he was not i n f au l t , an d t h at h e was only doing his duty in obedience to. the. Governor's orders. The plaintiff had since brought his action in the Common Pleas to recover damages for an assault and false imprisonment, and he now, by his present bill, sought for a discovery of the books, deeds, letters, documents, and other papers, from which the truth of his case would appear. To this a gemeral demurrer had been put in, which, now came before the Court. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared in behalf of the defendant, and Mr. RICHARDS -on that of the praintiff. His Lordship the MASTER of the ROLLS, after several observations respecting the form of the demurrer, said that he at present entertained a very strong opinion upon the case, but he should look through the cases cited at the bar, and express his final opinion• on Monday morning. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 17. WALTON AND OTHERS V. CAMPBELL AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, as the as signees of Brown and Dawson, bankrupts, to recover from the defendants the amount of a bill of exchange for 7Q01., which came into their hands on the day hiler the bankruptcy, and which bore the indorsement of Messrs. Leland and Bullen, bankers at Liverpool, from whom the defendants received it, with a knowledge at the time that the bankruptcy had taken plan, and the, question was, whether they (the defendant...) had a legal right, under such Circumstances, to retain the bill as a set-off against a debt due by them to the estate of the bankrupts, or whether the Liverpool bankers whose endorsement was erased from the bill ought not to be liable for the amount. Mr. &Want WILDE contended that the transaction was not bona fide on the part of the defendants. Mr. ALEXANDER said that the defendants had a clear right to retain the bill as a set-off against the sum which they owed the bankrupts, even admitting that they knew of Messrs. Brown and :Dawson's insolvency when they took the bill. Lord-Chief Justice TINDAL- said that the only question in this ease for the jury to`consider was, whether they were satisfied that the defendants had received the bill in the or dinary course of business, or whether they were aware, at the time of the bankruptcy, and received it as a set-off against their debt, and with a. view also to hold harmless tho bankers at Liverpool, by whom it was indorsed. The jury would consider the answers given by one of the defen dants when examined by the Commissioners of Bankruptcy upon the subject. The Jury found for the plaintiffs—Damages, 7001., the amount of the bill. Mr. ALEXANDER said that his clients were very anxious that their motives, with respect to this bill,should be fairly understood, and he, therefore, hoped that his Lordship would allow him to move for a new trial, on a future occasion. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL—Ou what ground, Mr. Alexander: Mr. ALEXANDER-With great respect to your Lordship, on the ground of Misdirection to the jury. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL-Oh, by all means. always glad to have my decisions reviewed. I am CORN EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals of both Grain and Flour were more abundant than for many weeks past,-and the trade generally was extremely heavy. This morning the fresh supplies have given a good addition to the quantities remaining over frcm last week. The damp weather still affects the Wheat samples, and having few parcels in prime condition, such nearly main tained last currency, but all other qualities were 2s. per quarter lower than the past Monday. Barley is so plen tiful that sales fall much short of a clearance, and this article may also be stated 2s. per qr. cheaper, except for superior parcels. Beans, both old and new, are declined Is. to Sks. per qr. Boiling and Grey Peas still meet a heavy trade, and are rather lower. The Oat trade is slack, and sales could be made only to a certain extent at ls, per qr. reduction from the terms of last Monday. Many of the bakers having stocks of Flour, they now decline purchasing, which causes a very heavy trade at last quotations. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

About one o'clock on Saturday an extraordinary sensa tion was occasioned at this office, in consequence of a chaise, which was followed by an immense concourse of persons, driving up to the Magistrates' private door. In the vehicle was a very infirm old lady, with several male and female at tendants, who alighted, and entered the office, and Mr. BENNETT, the presiding Magistrate, was requested to listen to the case. The old lady having, by the advice of her friends, withdrawn to the clerk's office, the Magistrate in quired the nature of the charge which required his inter ference, when a gentleman of about the age of forty pressed forward, and in a most agitated manner stated that his wife (the elderly lady) had eloped from his residence at Dorking, and having discovered her hiding place, in Alfred street, Bedford-row, he had just been there to claim her, and take her home, but her resistance had been so violent as to. attract a large assemblage of persons. A friend of the wife—Well it might,.when you conveyed her by force into a chaise drawn by fourhorses. Husband—l did it as mildly as possible, but she screamed out " murder" many times. Mr. BENNETT—If you wish me to say whether you are lustified in forcibly taking your wife home, I must at once tell you that you are not. Husband (violently)—She is kept in a secluded place, and what am Ito do ? Mr. BENNETT-With whom is she living?—Husband — With a female who used to be her servant. Mr. BENNETT—If your wife chooses to leave your abode, you can go to her and ask her to return, telling her that she shall have every comfort, and if she refuse you Would be justified in withholding her maintenance. Several persons here exclaimed, " She does not want any money from him." Husband—No, I know it. She is a woman of fortune. Her income is 5,000/. a-year, and you want to fleece her but of it. Mr. Bloxam (the wife's so licitor)--Our object h to pro tect her. Husband—So is mine ; and I adopted the most decent way of removing her out of your power to her own home ; and, as a proof of it, I took a physician and two of her own servants with me to the house in which she was secreted. One of the lady's friends—That home you no doubt in tended should be a lunatic asylum. Husband—You are the parties that want to make out that she is in an unsound state of mind. Mr. BENNETT—You cannot by force compel your wife to live with you. She is not your slave,i,,uiree in me fl m u b e e n r ce ; i n s either is she your child. If you think any u prac tised upon her you can bring her forward by habeas corpus. Husband—She certainly is often influenced against me.

MIDSHIPNIAN EASY."—Under this whim sical title the admired nautical author of " Peter Simple" has recently launched a work of great power and surpas sing beauty, sufficient of itself to have established his re putation as a man of genius. The unexpected birth, christ ening, school days, and subsequent adventures of. our young naval hero at sea and on shore, in battle, storm, and shipwreck, are highly entertaining, and described in that happy vein of humour so peculiarly characteristic of Captain Marryat. The story throughout is replete with interest, and the arrangement of the amusing incidents with which it abounds is most admirable. We think that "Mr. Mid shipman Easy" will prove the most popular of his productions. COURT OF COMM,ON COUNCIL.—A Court was held on Saturday " to consider the propriety of contribut ing a sum, not exceeding 500/. from the funds of the cor poration, towards the relief of the Polish refugees who have lately arrived in this country, and are not entitled to Particii:Jate in the parliamentary grant made to their coun try...len." The motion was made by Mr. Pritchard, and se conded by Mr. Galloway. Mr. Corney moved, as an amendment that the grant should be limited to 2001., which was seconded by Mr. Stubbing. After some discussion, the amendment was negatived by an immense majority, no more than three hands having been held up for it. The original motion was then agreed to amidst loud cheers. Com . plimentary resolutions were unanimously adopted, on the re tirement of Mr. Charles Pearson from the Court of Com mon Council, which were ordered to be entered on the mi nutes, and presented to that gentleman. A private sub scription was then commenced by the members to present him with a piece of place, in consideration of his services. The Court then adjourned. the cheap Edition of the Letters of Ho race W a lp o le to THE WALPOLE LETTERS.—The P u bli ca ti on of Geo. Montagu and other celebrated persons as a companion to those addressed to Horace Mann, has met with great success. It could scarcely have been expected to be other wise. " These letters of Horace Walpole," observes the " Quarterly Review," " are master - p i eces i n t h e i r way. Th at in which the shine unrivalled, is their accurate reflection of the passing scenes of eac h d a y, pointed b y remar k s equ ally witty and sarcastic. A new Democritus seems to have assumed the pen, to sneer at the grave follies of the human species." TILE LATE CIIAUGE OF MURDER AND ARSON. The girl, Alice Maria Dennis, who was remanded on this charge by the IN orship-street Magistrates, to await the re sult of the Coroner's Inquest, was set at liberty on Thurs day night, soon after the Jury had returned their verdict. Mr. Twyford, the Sitting Magistrate, was aboUt to remand her till Saturday next, but Mr. Baker, the Coroner, who had humanely followed her from the inquest room to the office, to a ssist in procuring her immediate release, repre sented that the Jury and himself were of opinion that the girl should no longer be subjected to confinement, as she had been already ten days in prison, on a charge which, after the most minute and anxious inquiry, for three days, and for twelve hours each day, they. the Coroner and Jury, believed to be groundless. Mr. Baker further said, he should he happy to place the whole of the evidence, amounting to 58 pages of foolscap, before the Magistrates, and after examination he did not doubt but they would come to the same conclusion. The effect of this humane appeal by the Worthy Coroner was, thrt Alice Maria Den nis was brought up and immediately discharged, and re turned to her home with her mother and sister, who ap peared to have suffered severely from the situation in which, the girl had been placed. The verdict of the Jury appears to have given much satisfacti'Yri in the neighbourhriod, though the mystery which 'clangs over the whole affair is as as far ever from cleared up. nes day evening, between eight and nine lV as two ladies, residing in York-square, Regent's. park, were proceeding along Portland-place arm in arm, one of them suddenly felt a smarting at the hack of her neck, but did not take any particular notice of the circumstance. On their arrival at home they discovered that the back parts of their mantles were destroyed by some miscreant having thrown oil of vitriol over them. ?E K.
