We shall publish the particulars to-morrow. The Irish tithe question was again brought before the notice of the House of Commons last night, when many objections were raised to the appointment of STANLEY'S Protestant Committee. There is much justice in these objections, which will not be without their due influence on the country, despite the Right Hon. Secretary's sturdy decision against them. It is a perfect farce, a notion that sets at de fiance all the laws of common sense, all the first instincts of nature, to suppose that a Committee, consisting exclusively of Protestants, and one of the leading Members of which Committee has already pronounced that it is " disgraceful" in the Irish Catholics to refuse the payment of tithes to their foreign Church ; it is, we repeat, a farce to suppose that a Corn. mittee so constituted can render any effectual service to a question from which the only com petent judges are excluded ! But granted that to the extent of its power, it should be impartial, strictly impartial, that in dealing with the sub ject it should divest itself of all sectarian pre judices, how will it be able to convince Ireland of its Spartan reverence for justice? How will a Protestant Committee be enabled to persuade Irish Catholics that it is deliberating for their benefit ? By what process of ratiocination will it win them over to a conviction of the propriety of paying tithes to a Church for which they care nothing, from which they get nothing, but which takes special care to fit them out for the next world, by almost depriving them of the possibi lity of existing in this ? Its Protestant Esta bishment is the greatest curse that poor Ireland has ever known. What with its Bishoprics, its Deaneries, its golden Prebends, its rectories, its vicarages, its lay and clerical fellowships, and its thousand and one pluralities, that afflicted country is overrun with plagues to which those that visited Egypt, are a mere joke. And to remedy this plague, a set of Protestant physicians are called in, men, who though able, no doubt, and humane and impartial in their way, have yet, more or less, an interest in continu ing the scourge ! When we say " interest" we mean that sort of sympathy which naturally induces a conscientious Protestant to look tenderly at the abuses of his own Church, the Church of his ancestors, the Church of his descendants, in consideration of its distressed and helpless state. We contend, therefore, that in order to neutralize the dangerous ten dency of this commiseration, the Tithe Com mittee should consist equally of Catholics and Protestants. Thus only can justice receive her dues. But should Mr. STANLEY persevere in his opposition to such a fair and equitable pro posal, we shall, we conceive, hazard little in pre dicting that the whole business will tumble at once to the ground. England looking on with indifference, and Ireland with indignation, how, in the name of Heaven, is Mr. STANLEY to (115- Pose of his tithe question ? The House last night made very creditable progress with the Reform Bill. It actually got as far as the thirteenth clause. One division only took place, and that was on an amendment to Prevent the partition of the great county of Lincoln. Ministers of course had the majority on this division. As the Bill thus satisfactorily progresses, and as other matters are pressing be sides Reform, it is proposed henceforth that the Committee sit only four days a week. We can have no reasonable objection to urge to this proposition, except that we think the House might contrive to meet for the despatch of busi ness on Saturdays. There are many heavy, complicated questions about to be brought before it, and it would be satisfactory to find that it keeps pace with public spirit in diligence and activity, and above all, that it is not in ar rears when the hour of its dissolution arrives. Hon. Members have now enjoyed quite sufficient relaxation both of mind and body, and can no longer plead physical infirmity as an excuse for indolence. The sooner Lord ALTHORP dis poses of the Reform Bill, the sooner will he find an increase in the revenue ; trade now languid will then revive, confidence now almost extinct, or at least in a state of suspended animation, will then spring up with all its wonted vitality ; but, till the Bill is passed, no expectations of this sort can be anticipated. Lisbon Gazettes, to the 14th January in clusive, have been received. They contain a flaming article on the professed enthusiasm of the Portuguese in the cause of MIGUEL and " independence." Not content with the glories of the present day, they have ransacked the pages of history for the chivalrous deeds of the Portuguese nation. The Romans,—the Spa niards,—and, lastly, the French, were beaten by the (unassisted, for no mention is made of the British) arms of Portugal. From all this vapouring, it is clear that Don MIGUEL is very uneasy at the approaching invasion. Shells and red hot balls are to he fired from the forts on both sides of the Tagus, should the expedition attempt that quarter for debarkation. At present Don MIGUEL boasts of an army of 70,000 soldiers and volunteers, besides 40,000 peasantry in the province of Beira. All this sounds very formidable ; but we would not advise the " King" to place much faith on their devotion to his person or Government, when the "enemy" appears on the battle-field. The accounts from Belleisle state that the squadron of Don PEDRO there consists of three frigates, carrying 50 guns each, one of 36 guns, a corvette of 24, five brigs, a sloop, two steamers, and four transports, all well manned and provisioned ; so that with the reinforcements at Terceira they may count about 20 to 25 sail, with a force of 14,000 to 16,000 men, well equipped. With this force properly directed we think success may be considered pretty certain ; but Don PEDRO would do wisely not to waste his time by sacrificing the great object in view to petty jealousies and selfish squabbles : LISBON, JAN. B.—" We have lately published innume rable facts, which prove the degree of enthusiasm that animates the Portuguese nation in defence of its religion, its legitimate Sovereign, its ancient customs, and its inde pendence, which a handful of rebels and foreign outcasts dream that they can attack. To-day we publish some other facts which will be a decisive answer to the radical Press of England. Without speaking of the celerity and enthusiasm with which above 70,000 men of the Ist and 2d line, and royalist volunteers, flew to arms ; without speaking of the infinite number of voluntary subscriptions with which we have filled our columns; without speaking of 40,000 peasantry of the province of Beira, armed with their own weapons, to act as guerilla.; without speaking of many other facts which prove that the whole nation will act as it did in the war of independence against the French, we will to-day relate the following:—The Rectors of Carragedo and Calvao have made an offer to the General of Trazos-Montes, to raise a battalion of ecclesiastics to join their fellow-countrymen in the defence of the kingdom and our King. The inhabitants of the city of Lamego all offered with the greatest enthusiasm their mules for the ser vice of the parks of artillery and one of the principal inhabi tants of the city of Obidos offered the forest which he pos sessed in the environs of that town, and ordered it to be cut dow❑ to make carriages for the artillery for the defence of the kingdom. " What other conduct can be expected from Portuguese? " They resisted for above a century and a half the formi dable Roman legions, when they were masters of the greater part of the known world. The Portuguese on all occa sions, when their independence have been attacked, have performed prodigies of valour, and have always triumphal' in the end. Let us remember how they crushed the power of the Saracens, and how, in a war of 28 years against the immense power of Spain, the Portuguese nation, with all its resources exhausted, without colonies, without mo ney, owing enormous sums to the receivers of the revenue and to the army, finally triumphed. Let us reflect that when the Sovereign was at the distance of 2,000 leagues, the kingdom invaded and occupitd by the forces of Bonaparte, deprived of all its resources, a part of the Portuguese army in France, the people disarmed by order of the French praetor, in a moment the whole nation rose, contended with armies hitherto crowned with victory, and at last triumphed and planted the Portuguese colours in Toulouse, in France itself. And could the Por tuguese now suffer a handful of Italian adventurers, con demned in their own country as rebels, another handful of Spaniards who had the same fate, Poles expelled and banished from their country Frenchmen that their own Government desires to get rid of, English adventurers, and a few reb-llious and degenerate Portuguese to come and attack their religion, their King, and their independence ? Certainly not.. Portugal will rather be reduced to ashes than staffer such ignominy. It will rather bury itself in an abyss than deliver up its independence to foreign male factors, banished from their own countries. " The question is not now a question of the rights of Princes ; this question was decided by the three Estates four years ago ; was decided by the same national tri bunal which confirmed the rights of Dun Alphonso L, of DOll John 1., of Don John IV., of Dan Pedro 11. (query I.) This question is the existence of the nation. The august person of the King our Sovereign, Don Miguel 1., is identified with the independence of the country, and what true Portuguese does not feel his heart filled with indignation, when he considers the scandalous presumption with which a few wretches dare to dream of the possibility of an invasion composed of such elements to rob the country of its glory and independence—the nation of its religion its King, and its institutions, memorable for six centuries of victory in all parte of the globe ?" The article concludes by prophesying that if this baud of exiles should come, they will meet with the same fate as Torrijos and his companions. Liszobt, JAN. 11.—A notice issued from the War office announces that the King, as Commander-in-Chief of the army, considering the great effect produced by shells thrown from 36 and 24-pounders, has or d ere d t h at t h e Governors or Commanders of the forts on both banks of the Tapir, which are provided with guns of that calibre tit for service, shall immediately apply for the number of shells for such pieces, and that they shall also have fur naces ready for heating balls. The Constitutionnel of Sunday contains the following article from the Moscozu Gazette of December 27. The minion of the Northern Autocrat here speaks out in the true spirit of Imperial moderation, and we thank him for ex posing the cloven foot so frankly. From the first we said that Russia was deceiving France and England, and time will undeceive even those who still profess to doubt : (From the Supplement to the Constitutionnel of Sunday.) PARIS, JAN. 20.—1 t is affirmed that after the budget s voted by the two Chambers, the 'Minister intends to close the present session, anti immediate!) , to open that of 1835, which, it is presumed, will net extend beyond the end of the month of May. This measure appears to us to be prudent and useful ; it will at length dispense with the provisional twelfths, and, at the same time, will spare the Deputies the inconvenience of being called back to Paris in the month of July, which is the season for the most important labours of agriculture. The Moscow Gazelle, of December 27, contains the following article :—" The Russian nation is indignant at the part which England, or rather the perfidious Ministry, has taken i❑ the troubles of Poland; but we shall have our turn. "We will strip off its mask, and we will show the world how a people is rescued from slavery. You shall soon judge whether Ponsonhy spoke the truth, when he re peated to whoever chose to hear him, ' Russia is now nothing, and Poland alone will henceforth hinder it from interfering in the atiliirs of Europe; it is an Asiatic Go vernment,' &c. " How can this Albion, loaded with debt, and now embued with the most perfidious principles, dare to rouse the Bear (so she calls us), which was near devouring Na poleon with the finest army that ever entered its territory, and then went to punish this temerity at Paris itself? No ; its turn must come, and then we shall make no treaty with that people, except in Calcutta. Its fdse po• licy has played its last stake. Let it go and make an alliance with the negroes of Africa, towards whom it is so well inclined, and for whom Europe is its dupe. We, barbarians and slaves as it calls us, will give it a lesson. Meantime let it go on ; this is what we desire." The Nuremberg Guzette announces under the head of Frankfort, 12th January, that at that time the subject of general conversation in that city was a quadruple alliance between Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Holland, which would destroy all hope of the preservation of peace. At a late hour (three o'clock) we received by express, from Paris, the Messager des Chambres dated yesterday : " They write from Trieste, of the 9th inst., that the Porte does not mike it a secret to repulse the invasion of the Paella of Egypt to Syri3, great requisitions are made to fit out the fltet. It it said that at St. Jean d'Acre the Egyptians have met with a check. (From the Gazette d'.Augsburg.) We learn from a certain source that Austria, Prussia, and Russia have ratified the Treaty of the 24 Articles of the Conference of London. The German Journals announce from Berlin, that there will be in the spring a congress of Sovereigns at Breslaw, this is the cause of the Emperor of Russia coming to Berlin.

This week we nave again considerable arrivals of most kinds of Grain, and a moderate quantity of Flour. The quantity of Corn now for sale, together with the mildness of the weather, causes the trade to continue very dull for every article, :and Monday's terms can hardly be maintained even for the best qualities. Flour as last reported. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour. English Irish Foreign - brls THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The only arrivals this morning are two foreign mails—a Lee ward Island, which sailed from St Thomas's on the dof Decem ber, and a Lisbon, which left on the 15th inst. We do not hear of any important news by them. THE FUNDS. It is now stated that the cause of our Funds having materially improved in the latter part of yesterday afternoon, was owing to a general belief that both parties on the Reform Bill have come to a favourable understanding, and that it will pass the second reading in the House of Lords and go into Committee. It is also stated that very few I'eers will require to be made. This day is a close holiday at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Market. The brokers have assembled on 'Change and in the court of the Stock Exchange, but scarce a bargain has as yet, been done. Consols may be nominally quoted at 524, the same price they left off at yesterday. TWO O'CLOCK. The contents of the express from Paris have not to this hour transpired. Consols are done on 'Change at 82 % for the account. The speculators are afraid to operate until they know the French prices. We hear that an express arrived yesterday evening to Govern from Holland and Berlin. Consols, 82i THREE O'CLOCK NEW STRAND THEATRE.—Here we have a new candidate for the Olympic prizes. The more the better. Many competitors increase the rivalry of the course, and afford to the spectator a higher excitement and gratification. There is a certain improvement in the style of theatric decoration in latter years, which may be particularly remarked in all the alterations and renova tions of this nature which have recently taken place. It is so far conspicuous in the new house that the eye is unoffended therein by any of that gingerbread gaudi ness which formerly wooed the admiring gape of plebeian cognoscenti. The interior shape of this dimi nutive edifice, as far as it is determined by the line of panelling, is almost circular. It contains a pit and two rows of boxes, more conveniently arranged than could be anti, ipated in-a place where room is so precious. The colouring throughout is light and chaste, with gilt °roam, nts, producing a lively general effect. The only error in the arrangements of the whole to which we shall allude consists in the too great number of gas foot lights (and this, it must be allowed, is a glaring one), which are inconvenient to the eyes of the audience, and must be to the properties of a small minor. Perhaps we should arid, as a hint to the proprietors, that there was not sufficient ventilation to counteract the heat generated by the lamps, as well as the other usual causes. Mr. BLAND, and one or two young ladies of the nascent com pany, sung a few airs, with the accompaniment of a band quite sufficient for the purposes of noise, but which, for the sake of harmony, we should rather see brought more together, after the manner of Drury-lane, than stretched along in single file. To-morrow night will reveal to us more of the important point of the corps dramatique, its purposes, and powers. It is reported, we know not with what truth, that efforts are being made to induce a certain high personage to enforce the strict letter of the law, with a view of suppressing such places of entertainment as are not honoured with " patent right." But we feel, in com mon with the public, that it is high time that the age of monopoly is past, or nearly so, and we are . confident that the high character of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, and the liberal encouragement that he is known to have always given to the fine arts, and to artists (particularly his patronage of the com pany of French performers), are sufficient guarantees that he will not so far exercise the " right" which is unques tionably vested in him by law, as to deprive the public of any part of their amusements. The Duke of 'WELLINGTON was led clown to Parliament on Tuesday, and on Thursday a dinner party was got up at Apsley-house, consisting, according to the ostentatious announcement in the Papers, "of his Grace's late colleagues in office, with their ladies." This species of exhibition may be overdone, and defeat its purpose.-- It is very well known that the Duke is unfit for the fatigue either of the Senate or of society. The " trea cherous bulletin" makers, and the small faction of in triguing politicians, would best evince attachment to the decayed Chief by leaving him to privacy and repose. The more immediate illness, from which the Duke is pretty well recovered, was a violent inflammation of the mucus membrane of the lungs. But his digestive apparatus has long been in a disordered state, and he has been obliged to pay particular attention to hi s f oo d. W hen in office, the frivolous details of Downing -street occupied too much of his care, and left him too little time for regular healthy exercise; then, his numerous journeys during the night— his evening parties—and "shooting excursions," as they were called—all these, added to the natural wear of a long and arduous military life, have gradually undermined his constitutioa, and put it, wefear,beyond reform.— Spectator. ROLLS' COURT.-(TNIS DAY.) At the time of our reporter leaving, nothing worth reporting had occurred in this Court. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY, Causes of no public importance occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor the whole morning. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY, THE KING v. CHARLES MOORE. The defendant, who had been convicted of a nuisance, ap peared in Court to receive judgment. Lord TENTERDEN read his notes of the evidence given on the trial, from which it appeared that the defendant, who was a gun maker, occupied some premises at Notting Hill, and that he enclosed one field, which he appropriated for the use of gen tlemen who met there to shoot with rifles at a target, and to shoot at pigeons. It was proved that the lives of the persons in the neighbourhood were endangered, as well as those passing along the high road,the field being close to the road ; that the fence of the adjoining fields were much injured by persons who were attracted thither to shoot the birds that escaped the shots of the gentlemen within the enclosures, that horses in the road had received stray shot; that the windows of neighbouring houses had been broken by shot, and also that several persons had re ceived wounds in the face, &c. The defendant was found guilty upon some counts of the indictment and acquitted upon others. Mr. JAY appeared for the defendant, and Sir JAMES SCARLETT and Mr. GURNEY for the prosecution. Mr. JAY said that having obtained permission of the Lord Chief Justice to move to enter a verdict for the defendant he now rose to do so. The nuisance as laid in the indictment was threefold, but one charge, viz., that of erecting a forge for making gun barrels, was abandoned by the prosecutor ; with regard to the rifle shooting, certainly there was some evidence that it •was dangerous, and the defendant was willing to suppress that practice ; the only important question was, whether the de fendant was not allowed to continue the pigeon shooting on his own grounds, he having erected a sufficient fence to secure the neighbourhood against danger, or whether he was to be held responsible for the nuisance committed by the " scouts," who were outside of his ground ready to shoot the stray birds, and over whom he had no controul ; indeed, the defendant had em ployed a man to drive those scouts away. The defendant had a clear right to allow shooting on his own ground, which was secured by a fence that protected the public against danger. Whatever nuisance was committed, was committed by those scouts who ought to have been punished ; they were the imme diate cause of the nuisance, and it was contrary to the principle of law to seek to punish the remote cause of it ;—the defendant could not hove any object in creating a nuisance, and conse quently he ought not to be held criminally responsible for acts committed by others. The defendant was a gun-maker of emi_ . nence, having been brought to London by the late Mr. Huskis. son, from Chichester, and having amassed some prpperty, he purchased the villa at Notting Hill; and in enclosing a field to try his rifles, and allow his friends and customers to enjoy the sport of pigeon shooting, he was only doing what many other gun-makers kJ. He had consequently gone to a very great expellee, and if he were not allowed to continue it, and the law should be laid down that he was criminally respon sible for the acts of persons over whom he had no controul, the consequences to him in his business would be very serious. Their LORDSHIPS were unanimously of opinion that the' verdict was good in law; the defendant could not be allowed to make a profit of his own ground to the annoyance of the public. If a person attracted a crowd to the annoyance of the public, he was guilty of committing a nuisance. This gentleman invited people to shoot in his inclosure, and the necessary effect is, that idle persons were attracted to trample on the neigh_ bouring lands and fences to shoot the escaped pigeons. The defendant, no doubt, had no object to create a nuisance, but it was the effect of his allowing shooting on his own premises. The law was clear, that any thing that had a necessary tendency to draw numbers of people together was a nuisance. Their Lordships therefore refused the application. Mr. JOY then handed in several affidavits made by persons in the neighbourhood, stating that since the indictment had been found the nuisance had been abated. Mr. GURNEY, for the prosecution, handed in several affida vits from which it appeared that the shooting was carried on as usual, and that the defendants' son and foreman directed it. Mr. JOY said the only shooting carried on since the indict ment was found, was the trying of rifles, which was a necessary branch of the defendant's trade. Sir JAMES SCARLETT said, it was not the object of the prosecutors to punish the gentleman, but they wished to be secured from all danger to themselves and the public, and would be content if the defendant were ordered to find suffi cient sureties to prevent a repetition of such occurrences by himself, and to prevent his letting the premises to others for a similar purpose, as It was proved in evidence he intended to do. Lord TENTERDEN, in consenting to that suggestion, said it should be a condition in the recognizance that the defendant should not let the premises for any such object ; and ordered him to enter into recognizances biniself in 1,0004 and two sure ties in 500/. each. The defendant said he had no one in Court to become surety for him. Mr. JAY suggested that the defendant should be allowed to depart, and appear to.morrow with his sureties. Sir JAMES SCARLETT said he understood it was the de. fendant's intention to go immediately to France. The COURT then ordered the defendant to remain in Court, and send for his sureties in the course of the day ; otherwise he must be committed to the King's Bench. Lord TENTERDEN thought it right to state that the de fendant had been treated very leniently by the prosecutor, for it was a most savage amusement. COURI OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.-DOE ON THE DEMISE OF MERRICK v. 111 ERRICK. This case was argued last term. The judgment of the Court was delivered this morning by Lord LYNDHURST.—He said this case came before the Court on a deed made by Thomas Merrick, in 1809, by which he conveyed certain property to his daughter, with remainder to his heirs male. The property was described as one messuage, thirteen closes, one grist mill, &c. with other closes thereunto belonging. Wm. Merrick took pos session of the property under the deed of 1809, and in 1816 he suf fered a recovery, but in that deed the mills were not mentioned ; that deed set out by stating that it conveyed property therein after mentioned. The property is afterwards mentioned, and it consists of eight closes. From these words, it is impossible to suppose that he intended to convey the five closes, the sub ject of the present suit. The eight closes mentioned, par ticularly agreed with the eight in question, that deed could not, therefore, pass the other five; besides in the deed, the words " part and parcel" are used, which clearly spewed that there was no intention to pass the whole. The Court, therefore, were of opinion that he only intended to pass what was particularly mentioned in the deed. At hearing of the cause great reliance had been placed on the ge neral words, and that under them he intended to convey the whole of the closes. In the case of " Lord North v. the Bishop of Ely," Ist Bulstrode, a similar description followed the words which particularly described the property, and it was then held by the Court, that the general words were not sufficient to convey other property than was particularly mentioned In the deed. The Court never put a violent construction on words, but always looked at the inten tion of the parties. The judgment of the Court was, that the deed of 1816 did not pass the five closes in question, There was another question, whether the five fields passed by another deed of 18:24. In the recital of that deed, it is shown that the five fields were never intended to be passed by the deed of 1810. In that of 1824 the five fields were pro perly described, but they were described as part of the demesne lands, whereas that was impossible unless he had purchased more land, he having previously disposed of the eight closes. The Court were of opinion that these five closes did pass by the deed of 18:24, notwithstanding these words—" part of the demesne lands." The widow (the plaintiff) was entitled to that property. In consequence of a proposition which was made at the bar, the Court would with hold its opinion, as to the disclaimer, till they were made ac quainted with the decision at to that proposition. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF SCRIVENER, A BANKRUPT. This case it will be recollected from what we stated yesterday, was ordered to stand for hearing today, in order that the solicitor might be served. The application was for the dit,cliargo of a person named Augustus White, from the custody of the Warden of the Fleet. Mr. SWANSTON this morning appeared for the solicitor, Mr. Gilbert, and stated that in consequence of his client not having bell served till past three o'cicck yesterday, he was not in a condition to bring that evidence before the Court on the part of his clients, which, if further time had been allowed, he should have been able to procure. But independent of that, he had two objections to urge against the hearing of this case ; first, as to the jurisdiction, and secondly, as to the facts, which he thought would be fatal to the hearing of the Court at the pre sent moment, After some consultation with the Learned Counsel and Mr. Montagu, the latter gentleman stated that as it would be neces sary, upon the two objections which had been stated, to make affidavits, it was quite clear it would not be right for him, on behalf of his client, to call upon the Court to decide the case at present. And what ho should therefore propose, was, that his client should pay into Court the On and a fraction, the costs of the attachment, which the Learned Counsel understood would be tion, and up on his doing so he should be liberated from the forty pounds, and a l so th e cos t s : o f t h e presen t applica. Fleet, and that the merits of the case should be argued on ano ther day. Mr. SVC ANSTON thought that the present offer would not hare the effect of securing his client. He should be at all times willing to do anything that would tend to the liberation of a pri. sorer, but it was his duty to protect the interest of the party for whom he appeared, who could not have justice unless the Court decided the question of jurisdiction and the validity of the attachm en t . Mr. Justi ce P ELL did not see how the Learned Counsel's client could stand in a better situation than having the money lodged with an officer of the Court, to abide the result of any order the Court might make. After some further disc uss i on it was ag reed that 110/ . s h ou ld be paid int o th e h ands of the Registrar of the Court, the pripmeT 4 the case Wa3 brought before the C ourt se'nnight, the mo ney was to be handed .ed with the c ase o f Keitley and over r n :ton dischargedt the, i e t ' s c a l o n e n r a k S l a l o n t f u l e id; r a) had not con c l u d e d when our reporter left. sain T m he . i m r , H ti o ,e no a u rg rs um th e e n n ts pr o oc n eaich CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT, COUNCIL OFFICE, DAILY REPO , WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.) , RT of CHOLERA CASES. • bp E, c § 5 g 5.; Places. •E n ?, c. .5 5 , 71- 2: l E ❑ E t - g c c", CZ .12 :If, • :,Loc 4 , t,. a Jan.

This morning twelve other convicts arrived in town from Bristol, heavily ironed, and were conveyed to the hulks by one of the Woolwich coaches, from the Ship kt Charing-cross. They appeared in very high spirits. Sir JOHN STANLEY, an eminent person ;n the time of Ittenann the Second, was made Justice of Ireland, and by King HENRY IV. was made Lieutenant of that realm. He was the founder of the Derby family; and his direct lineal descendant is at present, after a lapse of centuries, Chef Secretary in the same kingdom. Be!grave Chapel, in Grosvenor. place, which was erected under the direction of Mr. SMIREE, the architect, about twelve years ago, was sold lately for 6 200 guineas. The income, it is stated, declined during the last year, from the fear of Buckingham Palace not being completed for his MA,JESTY, and the consequent disincli nation, which would necessarily follow, to complete Bel grave-square. About three years ago the saute Chapel was sold for 9,0001. PARISH OF ST. MARTlN.—Yesterday a meeting was held in the Vestry-room, when it was pro posed to adapt the provisions of the Act of Mr. STURGES BouaNE relative to the regulation of the poor. Some op position was offered; but the proposition was ultimately adopted by a large majority. TIPPLING.—The following is the German mode of preventing Sunday tippling. All persons drink ing and tippling upon Sundays and holidays in coffee houses, &c., during divine set vice, are authorised to de put without paying fur what they have had : this would have a most beneficial tendency in improving the morals of the lower orders of society, and greatly contribute to the comforts of their familit s.._Boston Gazette. BELL-ROCK LIGHTHOUSE.—On the 9th January, about ten p.m., a large herring-gull struck one of the south-eastern mullions of the light-room with mirth inconceivable force, that two of the polished plates of glass, measuring about two feet square, and one quarter of an inch in thickness, were shivered to pieces, and scat tered on the floor in a thousand atoms, to the great alarm of the keeper on watch, and the tremendou s noise of which instantly brought the other two inmates of the house to the light-room. It fortunately happened that, although one of the red-shaded sides of the reflector frame was passing in its revolution at the moment, the pieces of broken glass were so minute that no injury was done to the red glass. The gull was found to measure five feet between the tips of the wings ; in its gullet was found a large herring; and, what is remarkab)e, in its throat a piece of plate glass of about one inch in length.-- Caledo nian Mercury. A public meeting of the operatives of Man chester was held on Sunday, in St. George's geld„, near that town. From three to four thousand persons were as sembled, and the chair was taken by a 11r. ROBINSON. Several persons made violent and inflammatory speeches, after which . an address to his MAJESTY was agreed to, praying him to spare the lives of the men who are ordered for execution at Bristol and Nottingham, as it would be unjust to hang them without also hanging those who were the cause of the disturbances. Placards of a violent ten. dency had been issued, and some disturbance was appre hended, but the crowd separated peaceably. Every pre caution had been taken by the authorities to preserve tranquillity. CHOLERA.—At a recent sitting of the 'West minster Medical Society, i)r. GORDON SMITH declared that he had read all the books an d reports and essays thar had been publisLed on this all-absorbing question ; that he had spelt the labouring columns of the newspapers ; that he had consulted philosophic men in the profession, and philosophic men out of the profession —nay, he !wit consulted philosophic women also; that he had thought upon the subject by day, and had dreamt of it by night; and he had arrived at a conclusion for which he was alone responsible; of which neither the credit nor the dis credit would he impart to another—viz. that after all his reading, his talking, his thinking, and his dreaming, he knew nothing more about the matter thau he did before he began. The memorable lesson afforded in the new ' Novel of " The Opera," to such of our Nobility as are ad i iliet e j to introducing foreign performers into the interior of r their families, is said to origin rte in a very 1ne1.. , chol , circumstance connec 141 with the rya, riage of a '1 ding member of the aristocracy. The whole of Staiimore and its vicinity pre i sented a very animated scene on Saturday, on the occa sion of the Marquis of ABERConN coming o , age. Open ' house was kept at all the inns for his Lordship's nume rous tenants and the inhabitants in ger ero r v,s e b, r lhr l ud i sump tuous entertainment was given at the Abercorn Arms to his Lordship's tradesmen. In the evening the whole town was illuminated, and a numerous procession, with thin beaux, proceeded to his Lordship's seat, the Priory, to offer their congratulations on the event. Such was the evt.nt of the libatarns, that the whole stock of wine and ale at the several inns was oxhausted, and a fresh supply ebhged to be obtained from town. We last week stated that we believed the charge against the clergy of this town of exacting extra fees far the interment of the cholera dead was unfounded. We said this, because we know that against some of them the accusation was untenable, but we have reason, we are sorry to say, to think that some have made exor bitant and improper charges. That the grave diggers should have extra pay for the extra trouble they are put to in making deep graves for those who die of cholera is only fair, but this will not account for the poor people havini; been charged 16s. for a grave in St. Ann's burial ground. That is more than they are charged at any other place of interment : it appears to us to be a grass imposition. Perhaps Mr. MANNERs can explain this. Persons in a state of abject poverty, who have to receive a miserable pittance from the funds of a Friendly So-. ciety, to enable them to bury their relations, are surely not object. on whom to levy undue charges on such au occasion.— Tyne Mercury. On Monday week a most distressing occur., took place at Ticehurst, distant seven miles from Tun bridge Wells. A young surgeon named Alorrarsms, in the employ of C. NEwixoTort, E , q. of the Lunatic Asylum at Ticehurst, had for a considerable time past paid his ad dresses to a young lady in the same town. Her father forbade him the house; still the lady continued the same kind and affectionate friend, and poor Mortalsox was once more admitted into the family circle. Monday week was the day fixed for him to go to town to attend the lectures ; and the anticipated separation scenic eto prey deeply on his mind.
