Sir HUN. ..j I tFORD MOSKYNS, Baronet, has requested the Gentlemen oo signed the requisition, to meet him at the Hotel, in Here to on Saturday next (to-morrow), to consult upon measures he adopted in consequence of such refusal.—( Worcester J ournal, Dee. 13.) At a Court of Commissioners of the Can terbury Pavement on Wednesday last, a Committee was ap- P°Ulted to consider of the most eligible plan of improving the e nhance into Canterbury, at the Westgate, accompanied with s pecial instructions that such improvement must not coutem '44te the removal, or any dilapidation, of that ancient structure. Every lover of Antiquity, and admirer of the art of glass-staining, will receive much pleasure from a visit to the Chapel of Winchester College. The Eastern window, a b eautiful specimen of ancient art, has lost its brilliancy from ee, and become almost entirely obscured. • In the course of E st year it was taken down, and sent to Shrewsbury, where it Voi been retouched and restored, with great skill and fidelity, Y Messrs. BETTON and EVANS, glass-stainers, in that tow ri• It is now again put up in the College Chapel, and the eltitiquary has an opportunity of forming a perfectly distinct tt lea of the designs employed by Artists of the fourteenth c entury. It is precisely the old window, recovered, and ;L . -ight back to what it was when originally painted. The s ubject of this painting is the genealogy of our Saviour, on "'ltch a copy of verses was written by Bishop LOUTH, when a s cholar of the College. Messrs. BETTON and EVANS have ' t hready been much praised for their restorations of ancient gAass, in Litchfield Cathedral, and the work just executed by thane for Winchester College adds much to their former re putation. WeitassicAL CIRCUMSTANCE.—Love, it is said, '," l .ttglis at locksmith tic s—a fact which is exemplifie ot d even in the ': l 3l.ory of rus lovers, who, where they dare n lift the latch f or fear o f aw akening the old gudeman, not unfiequently con ,,iveto po their bullet heads and drag their brasvney shoulders Irough wonderfully small holes and winnocks. But while the "'cram/ mode of visiting the lasses is by no means uncommon in c ountry houses, the perpendicular is rather new. Nathless, a d eed of even this description was attempted at Whithorn on Puesday last ; the hero being a seafaring youth of the name of m ai, are; and the heroine servant to a respectable inn-keeper. 4 Ile former, it appears, had been making rather free with 4 ,,can of grog, and despairing, perhaps, of finding any other ri °de of ingress, he mounted to the top of a two-story tsuse, and there endeavoured to pounce upon his sweetheart, by towing himself, 'sweep-like, down the chimney. This, it mast be confessed, was rather a hazardous experiment, and so ?ur hero felt ; for when about mid ships, as a sailor would say, he fairly stranded amidst stone,lime, smoke, and soot, nor could au his efforts ever again disentangle his carcase. For more than benhours he tugged and pulled, scratched and scrambled , gg of course averse to expose himself to the ridicule of the hole town; at length, however, the love of life fairly triumphed °iter the sense of shame, and roaring put as loud as dust and 11 , 11 aoke would let him, hei craved the forgiveness and besought good offices of the rnmatesbelow. At first his words sounded 2,lce a voice from the grave, and terrified every one within tree range of its wailings. In a few minettes the family were all ;steer ; some feared it was a thief, and others fancied it was a : one cried, " Jamie keel the gun," and another whis pered, " 0 Jenny bring the Bible." At last a colley dog set I ts . dead at the man in " the lum," as ever pointer did at par and after this discovery, the family sallied forth and oarmed the 'neighbours. A council of war was next held the subject ; at which some talked of lightin a strong cl to force the intruder upwards, like other climbing Y ° YN but the majority agreed on the more humane ex rethent of mounting to the top of the honse, and pull- Llfg the man out with ropes. This they found to be no trY task, but at last the culprit was uncased, with legs as . e ack and blue as the element he had passed through. When r'uterrogated as to how he had got into such a scrape, he coolly Plied, " he had taken the wrong port,"—an answer which deemed so unsatisfactory, that our hero was committed f or one day to the gaol of Whithorn. This of course was no Peat punishment ; for, after the horrible durance from which had been released, even the black-hole at Calcutta must have "Ppeared a perfect palace.—(Dumfries Courier.) T. L. N.

Mr. Ellis, M.P. had a dinner party yesterday, at his house in Autlley-square. BRIGHTON, DEC. 12.—The Earl and Countess Cowper and Lady Gwydyr had the honour of dining with his Majesty this day. There is no additional evening party at the Palace.—ln vitations are issued to a select few of the Juveniles of Nobility to be present at an entertainment at the Palace to-morrow even ing.—Mr. Peel left the Pavilion, to return to London, this morning, and Mr. C. Greville, the Royal York Hotel. The first Concert of the Devon and Exeter Harmonic So ciety, at the Subscription-Rooms, on Thursday last, was at tended by nearly 500 persons, including all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood. Miss George, from Bath, made her first appearance as principal soprano, and gratified the com pany by her execution of the Echo Song.—Miss Rovedino sang two favourite Italian songs with her usual taste. Of Mr. Rolle's talents, as a bass singer, we need say no more, than that he maintains the distinguished place which helms for some time held as the legitimate successor of Bartleman. Mr. Lind ley touched the violoncello with inimitable brilliancy and sweet ness in a concerto, and in accompanying Mr. Spark in the song of Alexis ; the whole band, led by Mr. Loder, was excellent.— The Devon and Exeter Glee Club held their second Meeting at the New Rooms on Friday evening, the Right Hon. Lord Graves in the chair. Fifty-six gentlemen sat down at five o'clock to a most elegant dinner, served by Mr. Clench, of the New London Inn. Besides the Noble Chairman, Sir T. Ac land, Sir John Rogers, Sir Wm. Call, General Adams, Dr. Drury, &c. &c. were present.—(Exeter Flying Post, Dec. 12.) On Monday the 9th inst., the ringing of a merry peal on the bells of the venerable parish church, announced to the inhabi tants of Margate, that the period had arrived which com pleted the 21st year of Mr. James Taddy. This Gentleman is the only son of Edward Taddy, Esq. whose unaffected benevolence and genuine hospitality, are well known. On this occasion the flags were hoisted by the ships in the har bour, and on the church, the pier, &c. The tenants, all the labourers in his employ, and many hundreds of children and poor persons, partook of his bounty.—ln the afternoon, a com pany of most respectable tradesmen assemble d at the Fountain i avern and enjoyed the liberality of the worthy 'Squire, cele brating lhe happy event in "copious libations to the jolly god." Many appropriate toasts were drank, and several excellent songs sung ; the day was spent in the greatest harmony, and the cow , pany separated at a late hour, highly pleased with " The Feast of Reason and the Flow of Soul. ' 'A band of music • paraded the town, and fireworks of various sorts were displayed n Cecil-square. Such a scene of jollity and mirth on such an occasion has never been witnessed by the inhabitants, and will not soon be effaced from their recollection.—( Kentish Gazette.) WomAN.---The, following curious cOmplime,n to the Fair Sex, is extracted from ,an old play, entitled Cupid's I'Vhirligig " Who would abuse your sex that knows it ? 0 woman were we not born of you—should we not then honour you ? Nura t a4 by you—and not regard you ? Made for you—and not seek you ? And since we were made before you, should we not live and admire you as the last and most perfect work of nature ? MAN was made when Nature was but an apprentice, but Woman when she was a skilful mistress of her art. By your love we live in double breath, even in our offspring after death. Are not all vices masculine, and virtues feminine ? Are not the Muses the loves of the learned ? Do not all'noble spirits follow the Graces because they .are women ? There is but one phoenix, and she's a female. Was not the princess and foundress of good arts, Minerva, born of the brain of highest Jove, a woman ? Has not woman the face of love, the tongue of persuasion, and the body of delight. 0 divine perfectioned woman, if to be of thy sex is so excellent, what is it then to be a woman enriched by nature, made excellent by education, noble by birth, chaste by virtue, adorned by beauty !—a fair woman, which is the ornament of heaven, the grace of earth, the joy of life, and the delight of all sense, even the very sum mum bonum of man's existence." A WOULD-13E BIGAMIST.—Mr. LAWSON, for merly minister at Kirkmahoe (adjoining to Dumfries) was a most worthy and respectable character, and very much be loved by all the country round, but more particularly by his own parishioners. Once, about a Martinmas term, a farmer's servant in the parish, a foolish young fellow, called on him, and told him he had a great mind to get married. ' Very well, John,' said he, there is nothing wrong in that. Who is the happy woman you are going to make . your wife ?' Oh ! Sir,' said the lad, ' I am rather at a loss just now, and called upon you to give me your advice in my present difficulty. There are to two young women whom I love nearly alike ; one of them I would prefer a little, and only a very little to the other ; now what I would ask of you, Sir, is this, might I not marry them both ?" That,' said Mr. Lawson, accordhig to the law of this country, is not allowable ; but, do you think both of them are willing to take you for a husband ?" 0 yes, Sir,' said he., I think lam pretty sure of that.' ` Very well,' said the mi nister, marry the one you like best as soon as convenient, and in 2 or 3 months after you may come to me, and I will see what can be done about getting you the other also.' That was done accordingly ; but for a long' time afterwards there was no word from John. At last it happened, on a beautiful day in the month of April following,- that Mr. Lawson met his old ac quaintance, in a narrow lane, driving a cart loaded with hay. The lad barely touched his hat, and wished to push on. Stop, stop, John,' said the minister, I wish to speak with you.' What do you want, Sir?' said John, rather tartly. o,' said Mr. Lawson, you never came back to consult me about what you spoke of some time ago.' What. was that,' said John, very hastily. o,' said the good man, you were to speak about taking another wife.' Another wife, Sir !' cried he ; 0 sad ! O sad! 1 wish you would rather loose me from the one you tied me to ; will you just stop a moment, and see what shins she has made me with kicking,' and with this began to loosen down his stockings in great haste flout, hout. - John,' cried he minister, we'll see these another time;' and so rode off, fully satisfied that John thought one wife was enough, and rather too much for him. Sir T. B. LETHBRIDGE, Bart. has at this time no less than 13 farms on his hands for want of tenants. Very liberal abatements from former rents have been proposed, but, such is the state of agriculture at present, that the amount to be abated is less a matter of consi- deration, than, whether _it is prudent to engage to pay any rent at all ! Several large farms in this county, which, a very short time ago, made a re spectable figure on the rent-roll,are now pronounc ed by experienced farmers to be unavailable for profit at a pepper corn rent; and an agriculturist, upon whose judgment and veracity we can rely, has assured us that an estate, a few miles from this town, which cost the present owner up wards of 25,0001. would be now dearly rented at 2001. per annum.—(Taunton Courier.) POETRY. THE BACHELOR'S DREAM. The music ceased, the last quadrille was o'er, And one by one the waning beauties fled; The garlands vanish'd from the fresco'd floor, The nodding fidler hung his weary head. And I—a melancholy, single man— Retired to mourn my solitary fate.— I slept awhile'; but o'er my slumbers ran The sylph-like image of my blushing Rate. I dreamt of mutual love and Hymen's joys, Of happy moments and connubial basses, And then I thought of little girls and boys, The mother's glances and the infants' kisses. I saw them all, in sweet perspective, sitting In winter's eve around a blazing fire, The children playing and the mother knitting, Or fondly gazing on the happy sire. The scene was changed.—ln came the Baker's bill: I star'd to see the hideous consummation Of pies and puddings, that it took to till The bellies of the rising generation. There was no end to eating—legs of mutton Were vanquish'd daily by this little host ; To see them, you'd have thought each tiny glutton Had laid a wager who could eat the most. The massy pudding smok'd upon the platter, _ The pond'rous sirloin rear'd its heitd in vain, The little urchins kick'd up such a flatlet, That scarce a remnant e'er appeared again. Then came the School bill 2. Board and Education So much per annum; but the extras mounted To nearly twice the primal stipulation, And every little bagatelle was counted: To mending tucks.—A new Homeri Bias, — A pane of glass.—Repairing coat and breeches.— A slate and pencil.—Binding old Virgilius.— Drawing a tooth.—An opening draught and leeches. And now I languish for the single state, The social glass, the horse and chaise on Sunday, The jaunt to Windsor with my sweetheart Kate, And curs'd again the weekly bills of Monday. Here Kate began to scold,—l stampt and swore, The kittens squeak, the children loudly scream ; And thus awaking with the wild uproar, I thank'd my stars that it was but a dream. SPORTING.

The only change in the per formance last night was the appearance of: Mr. T noeEn in Cassio, hastead of Mr. TERRY. Mr. e•itY is an excellent actor in his approp ri a te Sphere, but Cassio was certainly not directly in ii IS line, and was altogether more suitable to the general qualities of Mr. COOPER, who deservedly ho lds a high rank in public estimation. Hi s 4 'sio was easy and manly, and appeare d to be perfectly satisfactory to the audience. COVENT-GAnnEN.—As more alterations and Tpissions have taken place in the tragedy of The 4ziguenot, it becomes more interesting in the re- P r esentation. We advise the author, however, aB he possesses poetical powers, to rescue his M use from the terrific school of Germany, and th e a. drama . referable .to life as it exists in " organized state of the world, in which moral noprovement is too much required. The play, ‘ 3 r rather the actors, were applauded last night, 4 doe tribute to the general merit of the per ` , nrrnance.. BOXERS. . .

MARCH OF EVENTS 4—IO the complicated and marvellous machinery of circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to "decide, what would- have. happened, as to some events, if the . slightest dis turbance had taken place in the - Mara of those that preceded them. If a private country gentle man in Cheshire, about the year 1730, had not been overturned in his carriage,. it is extremely probable that AmeriCa, instead of being a free republic at this moment, would have continued a dependant colony of England. This Cheshire gentleman happened to be AucusTus :WASHING TON, Esq. who was thus accidentally thrown into the company of a lady, who afterwards became his wife, who emigrated with him to America, and in tile year 1732, at Virginia, became the envied mother of the great GEORGE WASHINGTON Taursday evening, about eight'o'clock, Mr. W ,a very respectable merchant in the City, attempted to put a period to to his' existence, by cutting his throat, but was fortunately pre vented by the entrance of the footman. The cause is supposed to be owing - to', Mrs. W— having, a few weeks ago, eloped with a young man, leaving behind her four chil dren (three of them daughters) ; since which time Mr. W. has appeared to be in a melancholy state, scarcely allowing any one to visit him.— medical assistance was immediately procured. The wound is not so deep as was at first sup posed. • THE ARMY. Station of the Diferent Troops of the Royal Horse Artillery.

LOSS OF VISE LIVERPOOL AND ELLESMERE STEAM PACKET.—The following melancholy particulars of the loss of a steam packet are from the Chester Guardian :—" This packet left Liverpool about three o'clock on Thursday after noon, having twenty-three persons on board, including her crew. The wind at this period blue fresh, and was a-head of the picket, and there was no appearance in the weather to jus tify a suspicion of danger. About 5 o'clock the wind had greatly increased, andat 6 the packet had reached within a quarter of a mile of Ellesmere port. It now blowing a complete hurricane, the Captain found it impossible to make the port. He then con templated a return to Liverpool, and steered the vessel round for that purpose, but was soon convinced that it was impossible, the tide having so far receded. The vessel then beat about for se veral hours, it being impossible to steer for any particular point. At nine they cast anchor, but she continued to drift ; and about twelve ran foul of a flat, whose cable was also cut, but drag ging her anchor. The concussion was tremendous, every per son on board expecting she was going down. • Several of the passengers were at this time in the cabin, and were violently thrown down by the heaving of the packet, one side of which-was under water.. Tint• confusion and alarm itere now at their height. As the' 441. t remained. some short titne.alongside the packet, 4 of the crew and two of the passen gers caulght hold of the side ofthe flat, and got on board her. There was now one foot water in the cabin ; it was determined I . to cut the cable, and let the vessel drift with the wind and tide, the sea dashing over her in all directions. About one o'clock the tide began to flow ; and the packet was driven about two miles above Ellesmere port, where she ran against a sand bank, continuing for several times to recede from and ap proach to it. At length she stuck fast in the sand, nearly opposite Stanlow-house, and the freebie glimmering of the moon discovered the shore at about seventy yards distance, most of the intervening space being sand, or rather mud. It was now near four in the morning. Captain Dimond here pressed as many of the passengers as he could prevail upon to make the shore, when Mr. H. Whittle, son of Dr. Whit tle, Mr. William Leatherbarrow, of the Exchange, and Mr. Nixon, a farmer, near Stanney, leaped into the water, and suc ceeded in gaining the land.

On Saturday last, a Meeting of the Inhabi tants of West Mailing, was held at the Swan Inn, for the purpose of forming a Patrole Asso ciation at that place, for the protection of pro perty from nightly depredators, when several resolutions were entered into for that purpose, and upwards of 401. subscribed to carry the same into effect. At Marlborough-street Office yesterday, a Captain in the Army made a charge of robbery against the landlady of the house in which he lodged. It appeared from his statement,' that he had been in the house i f the pri soner ever since the month of September last, when he arrived in London from the East Indies, on letzve of absence for the improvement of his health. During the period of his being in the house he had been in various ways annoyed by the prisoner, who although solicited frequently to de. liver her bill, always delayed, in order that he might not quit the house, and when she did de liver it, witness requester. her to return him a gold broach, which he had missed, and which had been seen in her possession. It was the gift of a young lady in the East Indies, and valued at forty guineas. She denied all knowledge of it, when the Captain said he could bring forward further evidence. The parties were ordered to attend Male evening. Elizabeth Hutchinson, about 20 years of age, ervant to Mr. Clifton, farmer, of Timberland Thorpe, near Sleaford, was burnt to death on Friday the 6th instant. The accident is sup posed to have arisen from her standing too near the fire. It was some time before her master and others could succeed in extinguishing the flames, the young woman herself having lost all recol lection and presence of mind. She lingered for a few days. THE WARWICK VASE. England is indebted to the late Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON, for the many beautiful specimens of antique vases, which adorn the mansions of its nobility and gentry. Having less pleasure in the possession of such treasures than in gratifying the good taste of his countrymen by making them pub lic, he'distributed them with a most liberal hand to those w ho felt their beautyand appreciated their im portance. Among the presents which he thus made, was that boast of G recian sculpture, the vase of Ly sippas. The individual honou red with the gift of this chef-d'oeuvre, was the Earl of Warwick, by whose name the vase has since been more generally known. Mr. Thomason, of Birmingham, having conceived the noble idea of making a fac-simile of the great vase, entirely in metal, was permitted by the Earl to have free access to it, in order. to make a model of it in wax. This was -a task of several months. When the model was completed, casts of it were then made in lead, and from these the vase was completed in two distinct sorts of metal, the field being of one metal, and the handles, vines, marks, panther skins, and leaves, of another. This adoption of two metals gave Mr. Thomason an opportunity of adopting two novel modes of oxidation, by which the most beautiful effects of light and shade were produced. The oxidating of the field was accomplished by a' combination of the sulphates and nitrates, urged on by a powerful heat, which has produced the desired appearance of the rouge antique marble. The marks, handles, and parts in relief, are oxidated by the acita tes, and resemble the verd antique bronze; and the harmony of these two colours produces an effect at once grand and imposing. The vase is twenty-one feet in circumference, and weighs several tons ; and when its size and execution are considered, it is, perhaps, entitled to rank as the grandest specimen of metallic sculpture in its style, that has ever appeared in this or any `other country. Being made of imperish able materials, it will not only hand down the name of Mr. Thomason with honour to future ages, but it will serve as a perpetual record of the taste which has been so happily cultivated in the town of Birmingham. Whilst England pos sesses manufacturers so public spirited, and artists so zealous, it need not apprehend being surpassed in fine and classieal workmanship by any foreign competitors. The stupendous undertaking was begun in the 54th year of the reign of King George the Third. Two hundred and eleven medals of different subjects, including one of King George the Fourth, all made at the manufactory, were sealed up in an antique urn, and deposited in the centre of the pedestal, upon which the vase was raised, by t ,, e efforts of about fifty of the workmen, in celebration of his present Ma jesty's accession to the Throne. The vase re mains at Mr. Thomason's establishment, in a room admirably adapted for exhibiting it to ad vantage, and is very liberally shewn by that gen email to all cultivators and admirers of the arts. SUICIDE.-011 Tuesday fselthight, Mr. JORX CARRVTUERS, blacksmith and innkeeper . at the Raffles, near Carlisle, drowned himself in the river Caldew. He came down to Cal dewgate about one o'clock, called on several friends, paid one of them (a publican) ss. 6d. which he owed, drank a pint of ale, without betraying any visible aberration of mind, and on leaving the house, a little before two o'clock, went into the Sorceries. When he reached the river side, he made a pause, took off, his neckcloth and coat, looked at his watch, put it into his waistcoat pocket, walked to and fro two or three times, and then threw himself into the water. The fatal act was observed, by more than one person, and an immediate alarm was given ; but the body floated down with the stream, which the late heavy rains , had rendered strong and turbid, and was not: got out for about twenty minutes, when the vital spark had tied. An inquest was held on the unfortunate man's remains the same afternoon, before lticuAnn LOWRY, Esq., and the Jury re turned a verdict of " temporary derangementk" Last night an inquisition was taken at the " Grave Maurice," Whitechapel-road, on the body of Thomas Quee, aged four years.— The mother of the deceased said she had gone out on Thursday evening, about five o'clock, to a neighbouring shop for half a pint of o►l, leav ing him in doors, and cautioning him not to go out. She had not been many minutes away. At her return she was alarmed at the screams of a child, who was cry ing, seemingly in great agony, and call ing out—Oh! mamma ! mamma ! and soon she discovered that these screams proceeded froth the deceased, whom she met in the lane carried by a neighbour, wrapped up in. a blanket, who was taking him the doctor's ; and who informed her that she had found him enveloped in flatne 4 . She instantly ran with him to the London hospital, and he there died about 12 o'clock yesterday fore noon. There was a little fire in her own room when she \vent out, and the deceased was the o n►y person in' the house at the time ; bait she could not say how he became on fire.
