1 I yet in a convulsive state,. but it was believed the Government possessed sufficient energy to re store it to perfect tranquillity. President BOYER, 'with his Staff, was to leave Port-au-Prince on the 513 d, for the Northern department, and would not return till the end of July ; he bad issued the following PROCLAMATION. " JEAN PIERRE BOY ER, President of Hayti. " Important events having called me to the quarters of Ar tebonite and the department of the North, I am, therefore, un able, in conformity with the 75th Article of the Constitution, to Proceed to the opening of the House of Representatives of the Commons on the Ist of April next. I have therefore prorogued the meeting until the Ist of August following, when the Mem bers comprising it are invited toaseemble. " Given ,at Port-au-Prince, March 10." The Rebel General GEROME, who beaded the revolt at Gonaives, was taken on the 15th, and, a s he made resistance, was immediately shot by the soldiers who took him ; on the 16th an In sure t u Colonel and Captain were shot ; on the .18th twelve other Insurgents were shot. Whate x'er may be thought of the general het of the present Ministers as to our domestic -1* external relations, it must be gratifying to all real friend s of the Country, however they may differ o' n ordinary topics, to find that we are not likel y to be burthened with the expences o f a new war. We cannot, indeed, include the Party who invariably oppose Government att '°ng the real friends of the Country, as their reasonings and expostulations only tend to involve us in the question between Austria and Naples, and the former Power w ith Piedmont. 'They are trying hard also to 11 ' 4 4 us rouse against Russia, though it is by 11 ° means clear what is the definite purpose of t he Russian armament. They exhort us besides tO be upon the watch in order to take the part of S pain if it should be the purpose of the HOLY CONFEDERATES to interfere in the internal arrange- Ments of that country. But our only wise policy at -Present, overburthened as we are with an almost unbearable load of taxation,is to remain in peace, and to direct our attention to such reforms as tra y be absolutely necessary for the ease and i (nt°ll r of the Country, among which we may Justly include all the retrenchments that can be fair lY made in the National expences, consistent W ith the dignity of the Empire, and the total ex - 'Lien of the.

THEATRE.—:There was a very crowded audience to this Theatre on Saturday, at the performance of La Gazza Ladra. Th new Eallet of Nina was repeated, and excited the same applause and sympathy as on NCBLET'S benefit on Fliday. Her acting, and that of ALBERT, was again marked by the most expres sive dumb show that.perhaps ever appeared in any entertainment of a similar description. The performance extended far, beyond Episcopal limitation.

Mr. TrimAn, from the Court of King's Bench, moved for a new trial, for the reconsideration of an issue directed by this Court, to try the val 7 lty of a Bill of Lading, for the importation of sixty casks of. Indigo.. The ground on .which the present ap plication was made was, that the circumstances of the case were .so voluminous and intrimte,.that . three of the Jurymen, after having been absent from the Court for a very considerable time, applied to the Court to relieve them from giving their ver dict, but the Court being unable .to comply wish their desire, they in a short time afterwards returned a vertdct for- the de, fendants. . . . . . The LORD CHANCELLOR Sad, " It does not appear to me, that the question to be decided for theirformation qf this Court could have received the mature judgment of' the Jury, in the time elapsed between that of making 'their application to the Court, and that of delivering their verdict; 'a . . new trial must therefore take place, for'the satisfying of the conscience of this Court." On the Bcedtian _effects of uncertain Climates and damp Soils on the Human Mind, and on Ani mals fence naturce.—" The irregularity of climate, the damp quality of the• soil, and an abundance of marshy places throughout the principalities of Wallachia and Mohlavia, produce," says an in telligent writer, Mr. WILKINSON, " a visible influence over the animals of the various sorts which are common to them, as well as over the vegetation. The bears, wolves, and foxes, are of the most timid nature; hardly any danger is to be apprehended from them, unless they are met in numerous flocks, as is common enough during the coldest winter nights.—The domestic animals are alsd remarkable for mildness. The beef, pork, mutton, poultry, and game have ra ther an insipid taste ; the vegetables an inferior flavour ; and the flowers little perfume.—Finally, man, the chief work of nature, is here of a dull and heavy disposition, with weak passions, no strength of mind, and betraying a natural aver sion to a life of industry or of mental exertions. Moral causes may indeed produce such effects upon the human frame ; but here those of a phy sical kind evidently act in unison with them, and with equal force." The Beard CPI ensign of Nobility.—lt is stated by Mr. WILKINSON, in his account of Wallachia and Moldavia, that certain oflices in those princi palities give the rank of Boyars-of the first class to the persons who are appointed to them, and as such they wear their beards. Archdeacon REEVES Observed in the . library of Archbishop TILLOTSOIt7,O Shelf of books of various forms and sizes, all richly bound, and finely gilt and lettered. He asked his grace, why they were so distinguished ? " These," said the Arch bishop, " are my own personal friends; and what is more, I have myself Made them such, for they meant to be my enemies. I have used those hints their malice suggested, and frOrn them have received more profit thanfrorri the advice of my best friends. It is for this reason, as you may see, I have rewarded them accordingly." A Lady asked her husband what the difference was, between exportation and transportation.- 111,y Dear, replied the good natured husband, there .is a difference, and I will endeavour to bring it as near your understanding as possible; r.uppose that you were exported, I certainly should be transported. _ ACTIVE HnsBAN . OnY.—On the 10th ult. Mr. W. llEwm, a young man, 2Q years of age, son of Mr.-J, IfEwETT, of Nynehead, near 'Welling ton, completed, in six hours and a quarter, the sowing of 17 acres of. ground with barley--Lusing for the purpose 66 bushels of that grain, and sup lying his seed trough, from time to time, without assistance. it is calculated that he walked up wards cf 2-4 miles on the occasion. ~ • BEVERLEY.—Two men in the employ of Mr. Stephenson, of Cold harbour, having occasion to take-sorne sulphur and cream of tartar, a few days ago, procured -z...packet of' what they be lieved to be that medieme, and took itin milk ; one of them shortly after died ; the other is likely to recover. It tdrred out that the supposed cream of tartar and sulphur was arsenic. A Queen ANNE'S farttli4g; in fine preservation, has lately been presented at the •British Museum, Where no doubt . was . entertained of its being genuine. . . _ _ A respectable tradesman's wife in Portobello, Edinburgh, while engaged in: cleaning furniture, incautiously left some oil of vitriol within the reach of her child,'which it drank and notwith standing medical aid was instantly obtained, the little unfortunate died in the greatest agony.

Oxford-street,• immediately ad joining the Argyle Rooms, and, employed as a sort Of depot for' the bench;es,• scenery, &c. of that splendid establishment. At one period the Rooms themselves were in imminent danger ; but by a fortunate shift of the wind to the south, and, a speedy supply of water, the fire was got under, withotit any ether damage than the destruction ci the roof and interior of the house where it ctrl menced. Friday eveninz a fire broke out in a room of the first floor of No. 19, Gloucester-street, Com mercial-road.

ANECDOTE OF Tilt KING.—We take great plea sure in recording the following instance of kind ness and condescension of his present MAJESTY A poor woman, who had been patronised by the late QUEEN, and allowed to sell mats_ for the use °Nile establishments at Windsor and Frogmore, and was likewise in the receipt of a small annual bounty from her late MAJESTY, became, in conse quence of the demise of the QUEEN, much distress ed, •her anneal income ceasing. She was advised to petition the present King, and accordingly watched one day as the KING was coming down the grand staircase, but the attendants desired her to remove._ She exclaimed," Pray let me see the. KING ;" ilis MAJESTY, hearing her voice, asked, " Who is it that wants to see me Pressing for ward with her petition, she presented it, with her mats hanging On her shoulders, TES MAJESTY attended to it, ordered all her mats to be pur chased, directed Sir B. BLOOM FIELD to see that she was allowed to supply the household as usual, and that she should receive the same allowance annually that his Royal Mother had granted. A -countryman. very frequently called upon lluvr, Bishop of A veANcues, a scholar remark - - able .forthe assiduity with which he pursued his :Indies. Although the countryman went to him upon particular business, he was always repulsed, with the answer that his Lordship was employed in his library. "I wish," said the indignant rustic, " that the king would send us a bishop whc . has finished hls siudies." • • L!TERARV AND SCIENVFIC iNTELLIcaNCE. [Fttom vAluotis soußpus e l (No. XIII.) EGYPTIAN AND NUBIAN ANTIQUITIES.--About three years ago M. Gan, of ColOgne, legan to explore the most remote districts Of 'Egypt-that land (if prodigy and antiquity". in search of hi therto undiscovered monuments, for which pur pose be commenced his researches w,here those of other travellers have generally terminated. Ifiti attention was direCted . to' antiquities extant in Nubia, and between the first and second cataract of the Nile. On his return to Rome last year he immediately began to prepare for publication an account of his researches, which cannot fail to excite much interest, Since, from his:professional 'knowledge as an architect, and his talent for drawing landscapes and figures, his delineations of the objects he beheld may be depended upon for the utmost accuracy and fidelity. 'His draw-. ings, which will exhibit specimens of whatever he discovered most remarkable in architecture, painting, and sculpture, are now engraving hy . a number of the best artists at Rome. It is ex pected that M. G-au's work will throw corriderahle light on the state of art and civilizaticn in those countries. Many of these antiquities have never been before examined at all, and many but imper fectly ; the most ancient of these are those at Girsh, Essebua, and Abussembul. They consist of ex tensive excavations, containing colossal and half colossal figures . hewn out of the,rock, decorated also with a vast number of hieroglyphics and his torical representations, .both in relief and en creux, the greater part of which are painted: one of the most conspicuous subjects is a temple which was discovered and cleared away by M. Gau himself. The first volume will comprise all the Nubian antiquities ; the second will consist of a selection from those of Egypt, to which will succeed a third or supplementary volume, con taining the ancient monuments of Jerusalem. HOLY. SCRIPTURES.—We understand that a secend edition, illustrated with maps. and nutne. ! rous fac-similes of Biblical MSS., of Dr. T. 'H. Horne's Introduction to the Critical Study and . Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, is speedily to be published. THEOLOGY OF THE ANCIENTS.—Mr. Th0T122.3 Taylor is about to publish by subscription, in 02e volume Bvo, lamblichus on the Mysteries, of thq Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians ; being' the most copious, clearest, and most satisfactory defence of the theology of the ancients. A ItqllT wo in teresting architectural works are now publishing in Germany. One . of these, which is by the Architect Gaertner, np,- . pears at Munich, and contains views, admeasure ments: and details of the best preserved Grecian monuments extant in Sicily. The engrav7gs are accompanied with concise letter press da scriptions and explanations. The other publica tion is a series in outline of Schinkel's Architect ural Designs, either of such buildings as he has already executed, or of such as are intended to be erected : among these are designs for the completion ,of the . Town Hall, or Raf hiatus. .Berlin. VENETIAN AnCIIITECTURE.—" Le piu cue fabriche di Venezia misurate," Stc.&c.. truly magnificent and splendid work, consistinz of two volumes in large folio, embellished wiVt 250 plates, cannot fail of interesting every lover of art and every traveller who has . visited that romantic city.
