" Whitehall, Feb. 11, UM.

" Sir,--1 am directed by Lord Sidnimith to acquaint
you, that his Lost ship having receised several applies-
.' on the subject of the oaths which ought to be taken
by justices of the peace, in consequence of his Majesty's
accession, has consulted with the Attorney and Solicitor
General thereon; and thinks it tight to acqnoint you., for
the information of the justices of the peace fur the
of that though nut 'Wetly necessary, it will
tee right duet the justices should, at their first sessions,
take the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration ;
but that they need not take any oilier oath lentil a new
commission of the peace shall lie issued by his present
; when eves y justice intending to act 00000 ler tuck
commission must take the oath of utfice before the clerk
of the peace or his deputy, and moist also, witl.im the tithe
required by law, receive the sacs alumni, and take the oaths
of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration ; and such of
;he justices an have not previously taken the oath of tpiali-
firation as to property, must take that oath likewise ; but
those who have taken diet oath under any antecedent
commission will not hr obliged to take itsagain. l am, Sir,
your most obedient humble servant.
" H. HOBHOUSE."

Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, by command of his
Majesty has communicated to the Trustees of the
Welch Charity, that thJugh ceasing to be Prince of
Wales, his Majesty will still patronise the institu-
tion, and in addition to his annual subscription, has
presented to the charity one hundred guineas.
A Ministeral paper states, that Mr. Croker, Se-
cretary to the Admiralty, is to succeed Sir F.van
\epean in the Government of Bombay. We do
not believe that there is any foundation whatever
fur the rumour.

The retuains of the late Mr. J. Latouche, the
highly respectable Member fbr the County of Lei-
trim, proceeded on Thursday morning from Arli

a few private friends.
The orders for the removal of the military to a

Extract of a Letter from Messrs. Wilk in anti Go.
of Smyrna, to Thomas Wilkin and Co. Londo4,
dated Smyrna. Jan. .2, 11i'?0:
•• An alarming fire broke out yesterday morning it ar.i
meneed in the Fruit-bazaar. and. owing to a violent gal.:
wind Imus the southward, the flumes raged with great fa: • ;
they were checked in some measure by the old Castle aad t .e
large new Mosque ; but they took a direztion round the Anti .e
towards the Turk Town. and continued their progress even to
the gates of the two Bezesteins adjoining your house. T glee
you an ilea of the extent of the damage. as you are so welfze-
quainted with the situation of the Bazaars. we cannot do so more
fully than to say, that from the Fruit bazaar• which is destroyed,
excepting-two or three magazines (fire-proof), there is nothing
but a heap of ruins to the outer gates of the two Bazaars adjoin-
ing, where its progress was stopped. The Bath is destroyed with
one Mosque. The French frigate. the Gotathee, arrived the daft
preceding, and the commandant landed from her and the o her f
ships of war here about 300 men. This is the same frigate which
Mr. Montcabrier commanded at the time your house was burnt;
and it ss remarkable that site should arrive only one day before
this fire. It is said that the sailors were very active at the coin.
suencement of the fire. They wished to (loamy the Custom
house. but the chief Customer would not agree to it ; as he a. •
sured us in the morning, that the moment any real danger ex
isted of its being destroyed by fire, he himself would destroy it to
impede the progress of the flames. The fire commenced about
2 o'clock in the morning, and burnt for It hours. The extent
of the losses and amount of property consumed cannot be a, yet
ascertained ; but we believe most of the shopkeeprs had time to
remove their property."

Extract of a letter from Hertford, Feb. 17.
" A remarkable black cloud was observed during
the time of the ceremony of the interment of his
late Majesty, something resembling crape in appear-
ance, and in shape a rainbow, though not so much
arched; it extended from the North round the West
to the South. The sky, both above and below the
cloud, was particularly bright, and no other cloud
was to be seen. It continued visible, with very littlo
variation in its appearance, for about two hours."
This phenomenon was observed at Homerton, and
other places.
It is a singular fact, that the venerable Sir John
Treveleyan, Burt. who is still living, was returned
three successive times to Parliament for Somerset,
for eighly•foer guineas! The expence of each
election being as tidlows ;--Under Sheriff, ten gui-
neas; County Clerk, five guineas; ringers, five
guineas; chairing. five guineas; and County Cicri',
three guineas.
Fine.—About six o'clock on Thursday morning,
a fire broke out at the dwelling house of Mr. Ar-
kison, dyer, James-street, Paddington. It origi-
nated in the dying-room OR the second floor, and
had destroyed the greater part of the room, together
with a quantity of clothes which were hung up to
dry, before it was discovered ; but the house was
preserved from being consumed by the prompt exer-
tions of the firemen, and a plentiful supply of water.
We understand that it is the intention of his Ma-
jesty to cause the Castle at Windsor to be closed,
agreeably to the etiquette which requires that the
Palace in which a Sovereign expires shall remain
entirely unoccupied for the space of one year after
the death. In furtherance of this measure, his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in letters lately
received from Hanover, requested his sister, the
Princess Sophia, to take up her residence at Cam-
bridge-house, in South Audley-street. Her Royal
Highness accepted the invitation, and removed
there on Monday last, accompanied by the Duke of
York.

Private letters received from Dublin state, that
the Proprietors of Covent Garden Tl:eatre have en-
tered into a treaty for the Dublin Theatre, which
promises to afford much satisfaction to the inhabi-
tants of that city, as they will have a constant supply
of the first rate talents of Covent Garden, in sums.

Two graves, or coffins, formed by stones placed
edgewise, and large flat stones over, were discovered
in digging a vault, a few days since, in the Lady's
A rbour of Hereford Cathedral. Both of these places
of sepulchre contained charcoal, ashes, and calcined
bones. Two other graves of a similar description
were found, about three years ago, in sinking a saw.
