The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge have
'removed Sir Rose Price, Bart. from the presidency of a
district Association in Cornwall, in consequence of his
avowal of Unitarian doctrines, mad his intention of disse-
minating them by all the means in his power. Sir R. P.
has asserted, " that with respect to the Trinity, he knows
the King is of the same sentiments with himself."—Terta-
ton Courier.

A correspondent remarks, that in buildings where ps
light only is used, the risk from fire is not, in most cases,
one-tenth of what it formerly was ; and suggests that
those who use that light ought to be allowed a proportion-
ate reduction on the rate of their insurances.—Edinburgh
Paper.

.I;I:ORTANT TO PU8L1C•1411...-we have awn in office
copy of a case lately submitted to the Judges, on the
liability of publicans to be charged for their windows,
which were considered to be exempt from duty as shop
windows, and the charge accordingly appealed against and
allowed. The Judges, however, in the instances referred
for their opinion, decided otherwise, and declared them
subject to the tax.—liirrninghunt Gazette.
AMERICAN LEGISLATION.—Among the bills reported
in the Kentucky Legislature, during Its present session,
we remark one fur the benefit of Matthew Harper—" a
cripple with twenty children." The bill allows him "to
retail spirits without a licence."
JEWISH I.lsena elev.—A letter from New Orleans,
dated Nov. 23, says,—" The Piesbyteriai church in this
city was sold last week at auction by the Sheriff, to pay the
debts owed by the trustees. Mr. Judah Truro was the
purchaser for 20,000 dollars. Although of the Jewish ea-
suasion, he bought the house that it might not be convert-
ed to any other use than that for which it wu intended."
New Oitieztes.—This city now contains upwards of
fifty thousand souls, and employs two hundred thousand
tons of shipping. In the year 1761 it contained only one
hundred barracks and three or four stone houses: this
change has then been brought about in sixty years.
NORTH CAROLINA GOLD.—We have seen several ac.
counts in distant papers of native gold having been found
in Montgomery and Anson counties, in this State, as well
as in elabarrus ; but, having received no satisfactory CCM.
munication on the subject from any of our friends, we have
never noticed these discoveries in the Register. But thee
is now in the possession of Mr. B. G. Barker, a northern
merchant in this city, a specimen of this gold we have
seen. It is a lump of the pure ore as found in Anson,
weighing about 1 1-3 lb., worth about 340 dollars ; and we
learn, from a geotleman well informed on the subject, that
larger pieces than this have been found in the first men-
tioned counties, and that there is, at present in the branch
of the State flank at Salisbury, a bar of this gold, which,
after been:- purified, is words .5 or 600 dollars. We have
not heard that any ivrson of science is engaged in the NI.
SION& These large pieces of gold are met with occasion-
' ally, though what is collected by the persons who are en-
gaged in the search, is mostly in small particles, which do
not much more than compensate them for their labour.—
//A lirgisler.

Ater three days' examination, at Shrewsbury, Robert
Cross, of Manchester, leather-seller, was, on fhnrsday
last, commiutil t, the King's Bench prison (whence he
had been brought in the custody of the tipstatf ), for re-
fusing to give a satisfactory account to the Commissioners
of the disposal of prorrty to a large amount, which was
proved to have been in his possession a short time before
the act of bankruptcy took place.—Ghoicester Jour al.
On Sunday last, during divine service, some mischievous
fcljow aecnred the outer gate of the new meeting-house. at
Bedford, with a strong chain and padlock, and made pri-
soners of the congregation, till tools were procured to force
open the gate.—Darks Gazette.
Among the Italians, the court-cards are named, king

Meter, Tonucei, a man of great talent, but whom the
Queen could not bear, having, at her instigation, Iwo
