The number that perished on board the Lexington bad not been cor rectly ascertained, but it was estimated at about ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY. Among the lists of the pas sengers we do not recognise a single Englishman. They all appear "to have been AM ericans. We ,give the particulars at as great length as practicable. [Since writing th above we have ascertained that " Samuel Henry, of the firm of S. & A. Henry, Man chester, England," was among the passengers on board the Lexington.] DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A STEAM VESSEL. (From the Morning Courier and Enquirer of Jan. 16.) The city was thrown into a state of eitreme Consternation, by intelligence of a most fatal accident having befallen the steamboat Lexington, which left here on Monday afternoon, under the command of Captain George Child, on her usual trip to Stonington. We have gathered from Captain Hil lard,. almost the only survivor—at least as present appear ances lead us to dread from this awful scene of death, from Captain Brooks of the New Haven steamboat, who received Captain Hiilard on board—from the.sloop Merchant, Captain Meeker, who rescued him, and from Captain Jennings, of the sloop Ganges, who left Southport, to which place the sloop. Merchant belonged. and whither she had returned, the following particulars of this distressing event : • The Lexington prosecuted her voyage until half,past seven o'clock in the evening, When' being, between Eaton'S Neck and Crane's Neck, a fire was discoVered to have broken out near the smoke pipe, among some bales of cotton which were stowed near it, or to which at least the flames speedily spread. An attempt was then made to get out the suction pipe, and by means of water thrown from it on the flames, extinguish theM ; but these spread with such rapidity, that soon all access to the engine was impossible, and it continued to work for a time with fearful rapidity. ' Captain Childs, it would appear, then'determined to steer the boat for the nearest part of the Long Island shore; and he was last seen in the whzel house at the helm. In fifteen minutes, hoWever, the engine became immoveable, and the course of the boat arrested abOut two milei from the land. Here she continued to.burn until about 3 o'clock in the morning, when what remained of her sank. It were needless to ittempt to describe .the -- wend of -ago nized confusion which ensued among the passengers, and in deed all on board, as soon as the fire was discovered. No order was preserved, or any attempt made to preserve it. The life-boat which was on board was thrOwn over, forward of the wheel, was struck by the paddles, anctbroken to pieces.. The Lexington had. three boats besides, which were launch-. ed by the passengers while slid was under full *ay, and im-, mediately swaniped. Sdme twenfy of them who had life.- preservers about them, jumped overboard, and the rest were last seen as the drove them from the higher parts of the steamboat, clinging in clusters to the guard-braces, where they hung till all went down together. Capt. Hillard, formerly of the ship Mississippi, of this port—one of the passengers—escaped. When the progress of the fire was such as to leave no hope, the passengers com menced throwing the deck freight overboard, probably in the expectation that some parts of it would remain floating, and might be the means of -saving some of them. Capt. H. assisted in throwing about ten bales of cotton overboard, and in leaping on one of them. One of the firemen of the boat also succeeded in getting on the . same bale, and these two, by means of a piece of board which they picked - up, succeeded in keeping the bale head on to the sea until about four o'clock in the morning, when the bale capsized, but righted again with both of them, on it. Until this time they had kept the upper part of their bodies comparatively dry, but were now completely wet to the skin. And now the fireman began to despond, talked of hig wife and children; told Capt. H..that his name was Cox, and that he resided in Oak-street New York. Capt. H. endeavoured to cheer him up, and at last lashed him to the•bale r but at about S o'clock in the morning he expired. 'At li o'clock Captain H. was rescued by Capt. Meeker, in the sloop Merchant of Southport. The same vessel also rescued Captain Manchester, the pilot, and a fireman named Smith . , who were each on a bale of cotton. The fireman says, that soon after the fire was dis covered, he sought refuge on the rudder, expecting the boiler would burst, but whilstthere, two boys, who could not swim, entreated him to give them his place, which he consented to, on condition that they threw him a bale of cotton, which they did, and to which he swam. The boat then drifted some distanceahead ofhim, but when her upper works were burned, he,againfioated near her, and saw several of the passengers and crew on pieces of the wreck. They, however, all gradu ally becaine exhausted, and fell off. Captain Manchester, the pilot, adds little to the above :par ticulars ; he and the fireman last spoken of, were badly frozen. We annex a list of as many passengers as on diligent in quiry we could learn were on board. We do not, however, vouch for its entire accuracy ; though in the main we believe it will be found correct, as far as it goes. Captain Hillard estimates the number of passengers at 150; but Capt. Man chester says he thinks there were no more than 75 on board, and we find, that this latter number is considered at the office of the Company to which the boat belonged, to be the nearest . probability. What chance is there that any more have been rescued ?—Capt. Hillard says, that at about eight o'clock in the morning a schooner, bearing to westward, passed him while on the bale of cotton, about a mile off. She did not see him, but it is possible she may have fallen in with some of the other passengers floating on the, pieces of the wreck. The conflagration of the boat was seen from Norwalk and Bridgeport, on the Connecticut shore, but the state of the tide and the ice prevented themgetting out. heir boats to her assistance, and though the attempt was made, it was found impossible to succeed. From the Long Island shore, we have as yet no accounts, and 'it is possible, as the flames must have been still more visible there, that some effectual assistance may have been rendered to the unfortunate beings who were floating on the waves, yet the sea was so very high, and the cold so intense, that it seems almost a forlorn hope. (From the Courier and Enquirer of Jan. 18) From the New Haven Daily Herald (extra) of Tuesday evening, we find nn account of the mode in which the fire took, which is somewhat more explicit and satisfactory thari any other which has met our eye. " The fire," says that journal, " was discovered a little after seven o'clock, under a tier of cotton bales, piled amidship, against the wooden box or frame which'encloSed the pipe leading from the tire room below, this boat having her boiler on her kelson, or un der deck. , This pipe led through the freight above, and the ignition of the cotton had become so extensive before the fire engine and ho'se of the boat could be put in operation, that both crew and passengers were so oierwhelmed in smoke, and the natural agitation of the metnent, that all efforts to subdue the fire were unavailing." We understand from a source on which we can rely, that the pilot, Captain Manchester, says, that shortly after the fire broke out, he went to the wheel house, got the wheel hard up, and then the rope parted, it being hide rope, connecting with the chain and iron rods. He then sprung down to launch the life boat, which was broken by the paddles, as has been already described. A bale of cotton was his next resource, to which he found a loan lashed. Finding, during the night, that the man was dead, he cut his body loose, fearing that it might cause the bale to turn over. Manchester was picked up, lashed to the bale, senseless and how he came •so lashed, be does not re collect. - Smith. one of the hands also saved, says that he jumped overboat•d at about eight o'clock, arid swam to a bale of cot ton, after floating on which five hours and a half in the wa ter, he got hack to the wreck, and warmed himself for an hour by "the firce, and then - rot on that part of the wreck from which he was picked up. STEAMBOAT • The steamboat Belle of Mi souri, DISASTER. bound from New Or leans for St. L ou i s, whilst wooding about a mile below Li berty, Illinois, on the evening of Christmas-day, took fire and was totally consumed. She had on board a valuable cargo, and a large number of deck passengers. The follow ing letter from the commander to the owners gives the par ticulars " Steamboat Susquehanna, Dec 23, 1839 " The steamboat Belle l an d e d thi s even i ng at about half past. six or seven o'clock,with is'lia at about one mile above Liberty illinois, at a wood yard.

Humbly Sheweth,—That a system of adulteration of to bacco has for some years been practised to a considerable ex tent. to the manifest injury of the revenue, and to the ruin of the fair trader. That your petitioners, in reiterated peti tions to the Board of Excise, and to the local officers, have prayed. that the law against adulteration might be put in force, for the protection of the revenue, and also for the due protec tion of your petitioners, who do not themselves practise such fraud. That, in consequence, several seizures of adulterated tobacco were made about two years ago, but were subse quently restored by order of government, without the inflic tion of any penalty, notwithstanding that no doubt could possibly be entertained that the tobacco so seized was in an adulterated state. That in consequence of these restorations, the local officers have inferred that it is not the intention of government to prevent or punish similar frauds ; and, not-• withstanding these local officers are perfectly aware of, and fully admit the extensive existence of this illegal practice, yet they .refuse to take any steps to . punish or prevent it, and state without disguise (in answer to the urgent 'remonstrances of your petitioners), that they are convinced that any exer tions on their part for.its suppression, ,would not be accept able to their superiors, and that, consequently, they will not venture to act until distinct Orders to do so shall he issued by the Board of Excise. That your petitioners have in con sequence implored the interference of the Treasury, and of the Chancellor of her Majesty's Exchequer, but that no attention has been paid to their earnest entreaties. Your petitioners have prayed a reference to the local officers, who are ready to bear testimony to the truth of these allegations, the practice complained of being notorious. Your petitioners have respectfully represented that the weight of tobacco upon which duty was paid in the year ending October 10, 1839, was 1,143,681 pounds less than in the preceding year, and that the consequent loss of £171,552 to the revenue is altogether caused by this fraud ; it being the full conviction of your petitioners that the consumption of tobacco has not decreased. Your petitioners have re spectfully stated that the existing law 1 and 2 Geo. IV. cap. 119, is sufficiently strong to meet the evil complained of,'and have represented that the revenue is defrauded, not only in directly, by the non-payment of duty on the materials mixed with adulterated tobacco consumed in the kingdom, but also directly, by the drawback allowance of 2s. ad. per pound claimed and received on tobacco so adulterated when ex ported as ships' stores. Your petitioners have prayed the interference of the local - officers of her Majesty's customs to check this last-named fraud, but have met with the same re fusal in that department which was given by the officers of excise, because these officers of customs bad previously re presented the case to their superiors, and no notice was taken of their representations. That your petitioners hive conse quently been left without any protection from ruinous loss in contending against opponents who have no advantage: over them except the very large profits they derive from defraud ing the revenue, and the time is at length come when your petitioners have only the choice of two evils—either to be come fraudulent or to abandon their trade. Your petitioners therefore pray, that their case may be fully, and at an early period, inquired into, and that they may be allowed to offer proof of the allegations herein contained • and further; that strict orders may be issued forthwith to the officers of excise throughont the kingdom to enforce the,laws for the preven tion of adulterating.tobacco.

(From the Newcastle Journal.) The disastrous state of our financial affairs so clearly dis played in the luminous speech of the Earl of Ripon, is not to be actributed to increased expenditure alone, however profuse a *hig administration may be to its creatures and dependents. The energies of this country have of late year's. been so wonderfully developed that the old taxes Would, in the - natural course of things, have produced an increase in the revenue, sufficient to. counterbalance even Whig extrava gance, if public affairs had been managed with anything like ordinary ability and discretion.. In our last publication we had occasion to animadvert upon the gross incapacity of the government in respect to Chinese affairs, by which we shall lose at least four millions sterling of revenue in tea duty, and to-day we shall show how the same incapacity and inattention diminishes our revenue from tobacco, notwithstanding that the consumption of this article is notoriously increased. This fact is so clearly established in the petition of the manufac turers of Newcastle tothe House of Commons, after all their efforts to induce the government to do its duty had proved fruitless, that . we shall content ourselves with merely pub lishing, that petition, and allow it to produce its own effect, without the -aid of further comment from - us • • _ To the Honourable the Commons of the United KingdoM of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, THE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED MANUFACTURERS OF TOBACCO IN NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, _ FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Scot land, or, more correctly speaking, .of the committee of the General Assembly of that church. No ,dispassionate per son, removed from the scene of these discussions, can pe ruse the reports of those proceedings without experiencing a degree of regret that a church, long venerated for her high religious character and usefulness, should have so unneces sarily and wantonly set herself in open hostility to the state, and the law of the land. It is altogether in vain for the' Church of Scotland, in her present 'dilemma, to appeal to the brotherly regard and compassion of the Church of England—a church which, at an earlier period of our his tory, she scorned as heretical, and as little better than the Church of Rome. We of the Church of England do not, and cannot, any more than a vast portion of the thinking population of the sister kingdom, believe that the Church of Scotland is not a State Church. -She is, in our humble estimation, to all intents and purposes, a State Church. .The articles of her creed, contained in her Confession of Faith, are all confirmed and authorised by act ,of parlia-, merit; every act of her General. Assembly is sanctioned by the Lord High Commissioner, who sits in her supreme court as the representative of Majesty,, and who has poWer, if we mistake not, to call and to dissolve this court ; and many of her parishes, are lld direct from the Crown, and are known as Crown patronages. Since - the (Ws - of the Revolution, when the " indulged clergy" fell into the mea sures of the, government, and, with unworthy truckling, accepted the double boon of place and patronage, down to the present time, when they set themselves up in hostile array against their patrons and the law of the land, no one ever dreamed of doubting that the Church of Scotland was a state church. The question may be put or twisted into any shape they choose, the fact stands, and has been so de cided by the ablest judges both in Scotland and England, that the Church of Scotland has and bad no right, implied or understood, to pass any act, far less to enforce it, affect ing the right of patronage, whether vested in the crown or in private individuals. She is udder a solemn compact and necessity of doing nothing of such importance, without the authority and sanction of the state ; and, indeed, were the question once raised, it may fairly be doubtea whether the state could sanction or pass any act annulling patronage. Whether or not.the condition of the church would be im proved by the abolition of patrohage, is a subject foreign to the point in dispute, though the. belief that her indepen t c hto u e fa n tste c hd e ae it would sht ho b e elfedml mainfaoonrr yteh of h u se e r se e r ntri o s bc e nll e ae. 1 r ge s eyT: o o hfte l h i i a a n i d e hetuph t er a enc k yhd e eh n onaf csvei Scotlandet, c s h buyb h s o at l si d . serting that she had no temporal head. The meaning of this was, that in spiritual matters she Acknowledged Christ alone as her head. This idea she appears desirous of now enlarging, so as to be not only independent in spiritual, but also in temporal matters, shutting her eyes in- some mea sure to the fact, that a church supported by the state must, to all intents and purposes, lie dependent upon the state. Were she to shake off this connection, her independence would certainly be greater than it i s at present; but that is not to be done by assuming a hostile and opposing attitude — by endeavouring first to break the law of the land, mid then to stand up against it, and commission, or at least sanction, the itinerant agitation of the question of independence in town and hamlet, by a few of the hot-headed of her clergy, b y which the whole nation is set it in an uproar from one end to the other. At length it is proposed to make application to Parliament, that it should sanction' their veto act. Call you this independence ?—First, oppose the law, and then ask to Parliament not made at the time of framing Parliament to sanction their violation of it! Wh y was this a pplication the veto act ? It will would not have sanctioned it The best thing that the Church of cer t a inly not do so now . trace her steps, give up her agit ti a w on, '.

The name is derived from the." gypsum," or plaster orParis, used . in thd tick instance in the production of the deSign from which the cast for print ing is made. The patentees have opened an establishment at Edinburgh, and announced their readiness to execute or ders, and a musical work haS actually been commenced, from gypsographic plates. The process appears to answer well for this style of work ; but that, of course, affords no test of its capabilities for rivalling wood engraving in the higher branches of the art.—Mechanics' Magazine. A-MAN FINED FOR KISSING HIS WIFE.—,-A corre spondent of the Railway Magazine states, that a neighbour of his, for kissing his own wife, in one of the Greenwich rail way carriages, was made by the directors to pay a fine of £2. He inquires what has become of the money. This is the first time we have heard of a man being debarred from kissing his wife, either in a railway carriage or in a stage coach.—[lf such a monstrous power is really given to railway proprie tors, withdut a hearing before magistrates, why should not stage coachmen have the same authority n - - SINGULAR RESUSCITATION. — A few days ago, a widow named Henriot, in the Rue St. Jacques, who had been long ill, was supposed to be dead ; and her two nephews went to take the necessary steps for the interment of the body, and to secure their inheritance. On the following morning, a spark from the funeral tape"r, which was burping at ,the foot of the bed, fell upon the sheet which covered the body, and set it on tire, whilst the woman in charge was out of the room. Piercing screams were immediately heard, and . the woman, rushing into the room, found the supposed corpse struggling with the flames. : - It appears that the pain caused by the burning sheet had restored animation. The fire was promptly extinguished, and hopes are entertained of the re covery of Madame Ilenriot. - -Fruch paper. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. — On Thursday morning no little sensation was created in the family of a gentleman of fortune, residing "near Dulwich. During the last three weeks a Young lady, the daughter of a wealthy widow, resid ing in the Regent's Park, has been on a visit at the villa. On Thursday morning, at breakfast time, she was missing, as also the butler, a line young man, aged 27. The mystery, however, was soon cleared up, by a card being found on the dressing table, on which was written -" My kind love to all, not forgetting Sir (to whom she was to have been mar ried on the 13th of this month), I have eloped with my true love." The your , lady is in her 19th year, and will, on her coming of age, be entitled to £14,000 a,year.—Morning Post. Prince George of Cambridge has been appointed to a super numerary lieutenant-coloneley in the 12th, or Prince of Wales's royal lancers, and is to take rank between Lieut.- Colonel .stawell and Major Barton. Two rooms over the officers' mess room in the-Preston barracks have been fitted up for his royal highness, who is expected to join the regi ment on Saturday se'nnight. Should the brevet rank of major e general be conferred on Lieut.-Colonel Stawell at the approaching royal marriage, which it is said is not at all improbable,- the command of this fine regiment will at Once devolve upon the prince.—Sussex paper, CHIeHESTE4.—The vote of o`dr city member, Lord Ar thur Lennox, on the question of want of confidence in the present imbecile givernment, has given; we may almost say, universal satisfactmn to his constituently in this place ; it is hailed as a bright omen, and we trust will be followed up by a declaration on the part of, his Grace Uf'Richmord, that he too has no confidence in theespresent ministry. We hope and trust that the conservative vote of Lord Arthur Lennox will prove the prelude to amore firm and-uncompromising line of conduct than his lordship has hitherto pursued. Would that we could have seen his noble biother, the member for Western Sussex, ranged on the same side ; but this, we fear, is hopeless.—Brighton Gazette. • • THAMES TUNNEL.—On Wednesday the Dundee, steam ship, on her way down the river, about ten o'clock in the morning, the tide having nearly run out, grounded upon the Thames tunnel, . and created the greatest alarm to the spec tators on hoth'sides of the river, - both 'for the safety of the "'Vessel and the arch of the tunnel. The alarm- on. board the - Dundee amongst the few passengers was . also. very great, sirpra talc, wind s -shortly after the vesse" had. struck, heeling - 0 7- ver on- . het starboard quarter. • Shortly' before eleven Wetbe-k; hoWeversthe tide.began to flow,*andThe magnificent :vessel waebbservect getting het steam up, and shortly after slowly moving onwards, when she proceeded ou her voyage, - without,eit. is believed, sustaining any serious injury. The crown of the arch, upon which this ponderous vessel rested, is not supposed to be injured, .although the workmen in the tunnetstatethatthey-could hear her grating, along the top hof it. The Dundee is a steamer of ,the largest class, and draws 13 feet water, and the 'propriety of her proceeding down the river at low water may be questioned, especial's) , as it was only last week she went on shore at Limehouse, and was not goVoffsfor nearly an hour.—Morning Chronicle. We have the pleasure to state, that a petition numerously signed by the iehabitants of this city, for a grant of money for church extension, has been forwarded to our respected representative,' Sir- Wm. Follett, - foe presentation, and also another.from Honiton.— Western- Luminary. DOVER, FEB. s.—There has happened a very large fall of the cliff adjoining the Sleak . s s pear, of COO feetju length, and from 40 -to .11 feet its:-depth froitt - the summit, being at the least 400 feet in height, and at the bottom the chalk covers at least two acres of the beach below. It has fallen on the .direct line of the railway, and much labour will be required to move it. Unfortunately, one p9or man, of the name of Broker, is supposed to,be buried under - the chalk. FORMATION OF THE STATIONERS' COMPANY.—It being found in the reign of Philip and Mary that " many false, fond books and ballads,, and rhymes and other lewd treatises in the English tongue, both heretical and seditious," were being issued from the press, it was determined to unite the printers into one body, the heads of which should be respon sible for the individual members, and.the general conduct of. which couleithu.e.,he more eitaily,watched and more effectually controllo.l.e' Letters patent were therefore passed, constitut e ing the,Stationers' Company, the 4th day of May, 1556. 'The stationers ' 'it would appear, -were therefore a company before this date, but this was the commencement of their existence as a corporation. By their charter they were allowed to make by-laws for the guidance of their members ; and no one but a member of their society was to be allowed to prac tise or exercise the art or mystery of priming within the dominions of England.—Lowndes on Copyright. CHURCHES OR GAOLS.—The following remark, taken from Mr. Collins's " Statistics of Church Accommodation," will prove interesting at the present time, the subject of church extension having been brought prominently forward. " This is an age of economy, and if the state can secure the peace and order of society more cheaply by extending the means of religious instruction to the people, than by extend ing the police and other criminal establishments of our coun try, would it not be a wise economy in the state to adopt the one in preference to the other ? The truth is, the people will cost us much whether we will or not. If we do not build them churches, weimist build them gaols and bridewells." Have any accurate calculations been yet made to show that the amount of crime differs in towns or parishes of equal population, according to the greater or less amount of church accommodation provided for the inhabitants? . Within 30 years, from 1800 to 1831, about £4,000,000 were spent upon gaols and lunatic asylums. Again, in the last 10 years, we are told that the sums collected as poor rates fall short of £50,000,000 or - £60,000,000 sterling. Who shall say how far this expenditure would have been diminished by an out lay of 1-20th part of the sums in support of the Church of England parochial system by-multiplying schools, churches, and clergy ?-31sornine Herald. OWEN THE SOCIALIST AND THE QUEEN'S MINISTERS. —We know not whether Mr. Owen be, as reputed, the pa rent of the system promulgated as Socialism. Years ago, when he first came into notice, we regarded him as .a bene volent but extravagant enthusiast only. But if he be the parent alleged, was it fitting to introduce him to the presence of a maiden Queen? The ministerial patronage of Mr. Owen, if rightly informed, has not rested, however, there ; for it is asserted by his friends that he has been in habits of more familiar intercourse with members of her Majesty's Ministry ; that he has been admitted to dine more than once with Lord John Russell, if not with LOrd Melbourne ; that he has been patronised by Lord John even to the extent of giving or procuring him letters of introduction or presenta tion to crowned heads or ministers of high station abroad, to the-King of Prussia and Prince Metternich, for instance, by whom he was similarly admitted to the hospitalities of the table; and all this to enable him to explain andiropagate his own peculiar system of social life, as now said to be so largely in operation here. If the facts be not as stated, it is high time to avoid further scandal that crmtradiction should not be delayed ; and truly glad should we be that such a blot were once and for ever cleared off the reputation of British statesmen.—Courier. QUESTIONS OF CONFIDENCE.—There are more questions of confidence at this time agitating the country than the one mooted by Sir John Buller's motion. How that was virtu ally decided is apparent from the fact already stated, that the number of placemen who carried the vote of confidence in ministers was about --three.times . as'great - as their naajority, And, by-the-bye, two supplementary observations . on this point may not be here . mistimed First, the placemen al luded to were those only connected with the executive or the court, it being impossible to. ascertain correctly those influ enced by commissiorierihips, sinecure appointments, and divers other jobs. Secondly, may it not he asked whether the sons and younger brothers of placemen should not be .taken into account in estimating the real value of the majo rity of 21 ? Is not Lord Fitzalan as much a placemen for the purposes of the ministry as his father the Earl of Surrey ? Lord Shelburne as his father the Marquis of Lansdowne?— or even the Marquis of Tavistock as his uncle Lord John Russell? The majority in favour of ministers analysed in this way would cut a very poor figure; but (to revert to the still more important object of these remarks,). if it is true that the independent majority of the house has not confidence in ministers, is it not equally so that the country has not con fidence in the house ? It is the policy of the Whigs just now always to speak of " the people and their representatives" in the same breath, but the people utterly repudiate the associ ation. There is not one question- of any magnitude upon which the people - of England do not differ toto ewlo from the decisions of the house. The late elections are no prOofs to the contrary. In Devonport, Falmouth, etc, ministers had the choosing of their own , dunghills, and valiantly d o th ey crow thereon; but they know that in a fair, open, and gene _ ral contest the constitution of the house would be more ex tensively changed than by any general election since eight score Whigs were turned out by Mr. Pitt. In short, as regards confidence, we are in the singular, and by no means in itself desirable, position of having the people and the Peers leagned,defensively against the Court and the Commons. And this under a Whig government !—Morning Herald. TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.-1 can use no other epithets than aboniinlble and disgusting to travelling both in France and Belgium. It was only a fortnight hack that I denied myself the pleasure of my annual visit to Count Duval, to celebrate the fete of St. Hulbert, the patron of the Belgic chase, when he has a party of upwards of thirty of the elite 'of Belgium and other countries in his house—feeling some thing approaching to a horror of the journey, although not more than about 130 miles. But, reader, you shall hear how- it is performed :—To Dunkirk, 24 miles, five hours, stop there t wo . All the night going to Lille, 50 miles, stop there an hour in a coach-office. Then a change from a five to a three-horse diligence. --When I was once condemned to a seat i n it, it weighed eight tons on the weigh-bridge, having 34 passengers ! Well, this " drags its slow length along" until you can see before you the town at which you are to breakfast (at about ten a.m.), distant some petite lieue, say two English miles. But when will you arrive there ? Why not until every box, and trunk, ,and pack whigh this huge machine carries has been opened and examined 6y the Cus tom-house officers on entering the Belgic frontier.—Arimiod in the New Monthly.

A FULL HOUSE.—It rained furiously in New Orleans on the 20th ult. At the St. Charles Theatre there was such an overflow from the sky-lights of the roof being left open; that the audience had to decamp. The title of the forthcoming new play at Covent Garden, by Mr. Leigh Hunt, is to be "A Legend of Florerice." The principal characters are to be Sustained by Mr. Moore (who made his debut in Hamlet), Mrs. Walter Lacy, Miss Ellen Tree, and Miss Charles. It was to be produced on Friday last, for the first time. PENNY POST.—In the year 16{33 ; that useful conveyance of letters and parcels by the penny, post was first set up in London and its suburbs by -a private undertaker, named Morrey, an upholsterer by trade, who afterwards assigned the same to one Dockra, who carried it on successfully for a number of years, until the government laid claim to the project as being connected with the General Post-office, which was a part of the crown revenue, and a yearly pension of £2OO was settled on Mr. Dockra for his life..-Lambert's History of London, vol. 2, page 103..
