throughout the day, and read the Answers to the
various Addresses, in the absence of Mr. Alderman
Wood, who, we regret to stale, has been confined to
his lied by severe illness since Friday.
Her Islajetty continues to enjoy excellent health.
The procession of the Coopers returned through the

excellent order that they went to Brandenburgh House.
Some rime alter, a splendid banner, with " Tue [Joked
Bricklayers of,Soutiewark," announced the approach of
this well arranged procession, with torch hems. The
Braziers, in returnios with torch lights, also had a
;dewing and brilliant effect; and other processions also
returned in the most exemplary order tu town, and sepa-
rated after a flourish of trumpets and three cheers.

ST. MARY, MARY, ISLINGTON.
An Address from St. Mary, Islington, was pre-
sented to her Majesty on Monday last, at Branden-
burgh House, by the Chairman, John Bentley, Esq.
attended by nearly 400 of the most respectable of the
inhabitants, with the following introduction :
" May it please your Majesty,
"We are deputed by the inhabitants of the parish of
St. Mary, Islington, to present to your Majesty a dutiful
and loyal Address, which we humbly hope your Majesty
will graciously condescend to receive, and to hear seed
by Mr. Richter."
Mr. Richter immediately read the following Ad-
dress in a peculiarly impressive manner :
"'l'o the Queeit's Most Excellent Majesty.
" The Address of the ialsabitauls of the pat ish of St.
Mary, Islington, in the county of Middlesex.
" May it please your Majesty,
"We have never been inatteutive nor unconcerned

plored the WWI. to which you were subjected ou your

to drive your Majesty from your natural home and from

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL .Sir Robert Gifford,
is a native of Exeter,where he was born in 1779. His
father kept a grocer's shop for many years in that
city, and died almost in a state of insolvency. His
elder sons, Wearman and Charles, succeeded to the
business, and carried it on with considerable suc-
cess; and, by their generons assistance, enabled
Robert to pursue his studies in the profession which
he had entered. Sir Robert's mother was a woman
in a low station of life. Several of her family
were, not many years ago, in menial situations in
the neighbourhood of Exeter. The writer of this
remembers well Sir Robert when he was in tl e
daily habit of frequenting a certain house of enter-
tainment in an obscure alley not far from Temple.
bur, where persons whose finances admit of no
better fare, are regaled with a plate of wholesome
limn for the moderate sum of Bd., which, with a
penny for bread, three halfpence for porter, and a
penny for the waiter, comprised the whole expense
of Sir Robert's dinner at that humble and inaus-
picious period of iife. Sir Robert's education was
of the most confined description ; the whole of it
was received under the well-known Dr. Halloran,
who kept an academy about a mile from Exeter.
His intellectual acquirements are but few, and lie
owes his present elevation, not so much to any par-
ticular merit in his profession as to the friendly
recommendation of the late Sir Vickery Gibbs, a
native likewise of Exeter, and between whose family
and that of Mr. Gifford there existed a distant
connexion.

The Minister of Finance at Brussels has presented
to :fie Suites-Geheial the budget fur the ensuing yea-.
It ii.Llmles three projels de lui—one for the expel'.

for a loan of eight 'Anatol% to meet contingent

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER s.

We have received Demarara papers to the 7th of
August, which contain advices from several other
colonies in the West Indies. The Governor of
Trinidad had .been absent for about JO weeks, on a
cruise for the benefit of his health, but had returned;
and several addresses had been presented to him,
one of which was to request his excellency to advise
his Majesty's ministers to extend to that colony the
inestimable benefits of the British Constitution aid
Trial by Jury. The accmants from Tobago mention,
that the 4th regiment has suffered very severQly in
officers and men, by a malignant fever, which raged
in the garrison with great violence, and is not yet
totally subdued His Excellency, Major-General
Sir F. Robinson, took every precaution, on its first
appearance, to prevent its spreading. The Legis-
lature having been applied to, also took measures to
prevent its introduction in the town and amongst
the shipping, both of which are in a healthy state.

French Papers arrived late last night, but they
are totally destitute of interest. The accounts from
Naples continue satisfactory, A great portion of
the Paris papers is occupied with an account of the
Queen's trial. The late st.orms have done much
damage on the French Coast.

On Friday several persons of distinction called at
13randenburgh.houte and kit their cards.

DANGEROUS INDISPOSITION OF LORD
ERSEINE.

Scarcely had the firm advocate of the Constitution
and " Trial by Jury," exclaimed, on Tltursd..:
the House of Lotus—" I muse soon terminate :nv
life , but happy shall I be if I die Advocating those
great constitutional principles, the vindication of
which, in early life, raised me from the rank of an
hnmble individual," when he was suddenly seized
with such severe indisposition, as to entirely
deprive him of all sensibility for a time. While
addressing their Lordships, Lord Erskine suddenly
paused ; this was not particularly noticed at first,
as it appeared as if his Lordship were looking over
the minutes placed on the tab's before him ; but
after sow,: time had elapsed, without resuming his
speech, some of the Peers became alarmed, and rose
from their seats to proceed to his Lordship. The
anxiety of the whole House was then.aroused, as the
Noble Lord fell forward on the table in a senseless
state. There were cries of " Open the windows,"
—" Some water." The Lord Chancellor and Laird
Liverix: :1 evinced the greatest concern, and pro-
ceeded immediately to Lord Erskine's assistance,—
They, with the assistance of E iris Grey; Carnarvon,
and Lord Holland, raised t is. iasedship ; but his
speech and colour were Rorie.'• 'They then became
seriously alarmed, and instantly proceeded to con-
vey him out of the House. The attack was so
severe, that they were obliged literally to carry his
Lordship out of the House, and into an adjoining
room.
His Lordship after remaining in Mr. Cowper's
room for a short time, so far recovered as to be alek
to console the friends around him in some degree by
speaking to them. Sir W. Knyghton, who happened
to be in the House, immediately attended his Lord-
shipt and Mr. Holt, the suageon of Parliament-
street, was sent fur. They found that exhaustion
and agitation had occasioned the failure of his Lord-
ship's strength, and the interruption of the usual
exercise of his faculties; and they recommended
repose. They were against bleeding his Lordship,
though some of the friends present considered such
course as likely to afford relief. His advanced age,
and the improvement in health that had taken place
in a short time, induced the medical gentlemen to
deem such course unadviseable.

His Lordship having still further recovered, he
was conveyed to the Earl's apartments in the
House of' Lords; but he coullthen only wall when
supported by two Noble Peers. He remained
there about half an hour, when his friends and the
medical gentlemen succeeded in persuading kis
Lordship to return home, as they could not promise
him the recovery of sufficient strength to he enabled
to resume his speech in the House of Lords till
another day. We are lisppy to state, that his Lord-
ship is sufficiently recovered to resunie his Parlia-
mentary duties.

DUCOVERY SHIPS are happy to announce
the safe arrive' of the discovery ships, although they
have been unsuccessful in their olject; but it is
thought that their failure is to be attributed only to
Ike want of provisions. The advices from
Edin-
burgh of the Ist state, that they have passed the
Firth of Forth, and that Capt. Parry, having landed
at Peterhead, had passed through the former city
for London. Capt. Parry had been asked several
questions relative to the expedition, to all of which
he abstained from giving any reply, but admitted
tint the object of the expedition has nut been alto-
gether unsuccessful.
Yesterday morning Lieut. Parry and Captain
Sabine arrived at the Admiralty Office.

THE QUEEN.—The King's-head-inn, in Marl-
borough, having undergone considerable alteration
and improvement, the proprietor resolved to change
the sig and to erect in its place a bead of her Ma-
jesty the Queen. Accordingly on Tuesday lust the
old sign was taken down and the favourite one
erected. To celebrate the event, and to evince their
attachment to her Majesty's cause, a very numerous
..nd most respectable company of gentlemen sat
down to an excellent dinner provided for the occasion.
The cloth being removed, many appropriate toasts
were drank, and some excellc.it songs sung, and the
the day was spent with the utmost harmony and
conviviality. The town was enlivened by the bells
%if 3t. May's church, which rang merrily the whole
afternoon, while a neat flag waved ni:tjesticaily on
the top of that ancient structure.

There are at present forty-eight Italian witnesses
in Cotton-garden. They are divided into classes.—
Madame Dumont and her party are in detached
apartments. Majocci and others mess together.
He presides at table : and the third, or inferior
mess by themselves. Alajoeei.is the life and soul (If

BIBLE SOCIETY.

On Wedneseay the Members of the City of Len.
tim Aux;:i.ry Bible Society assembled in the Egyp.
Hall, Mansion House, for the purpose of
receiving the report and promoting the views of this
great institution.
The Lord 'Mayor having been engaged in hearing
an important case in the Justice-room, Sir C. S.
Hunter took the Chair until his Lordship had
finished the case.

The Egyptian.hall was crowded to excess. The
majority consisted of ladies. Upon a platform at the
left of the Chair sat an African Prince and the two
New Zealand Chiefs, whose extraordinary appear—
ance excited great curiosity.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer opened the
business of the day in an impressive spae,:h, in
which he expatiated. on the benefits a►icing from the
dissemination of the scriptures. Ile moved, that
the report should be received and adopted.
Lord Gambier moved the second resolution,

which was seconded by the Rev. John Clayton,
who read a letter froin a person lately escaped .runs

ova, in the midst of the danger, when it appeared
that all was on the point of being lost—they prayed
and sung hymns, and a calm tool: place immediately,
and all acre saved.

The ltev. D. Wilson, the Secretary, then read the
Bth report of the Society, from which the following
are extracts:— _

Thanks were returned to• the Lord Mayor and
the Vice Presidents, &c. &c. and eloquent speeches
were made by Sir Digby Masworth, the Rev. Mr.
Owen, and others. A collection was made at' the
doors.

Some rumour got abroad on Friday afternoon that
the Queen was going down to the House-of Lords
to enter her formal and solemn protest against. the
Bill, previously to their Lordships coming to any
vote on the second reading. Her Majesty, how-
ever, did not make her appearance there. But the
Queen has, we have reason to believe, been taking
some steps of a decisive nature regarding the very
principle and continued agitation and existence of
the Bill. It was rumoured at the House that her
Majesty would abandon the appeal to the Lords,
and make it to the King himself; and it was added,
that Mr. Brougham and Mr. Denman, who left the
Lords about two o'clock in a chaise, apparently in •
great haste, proceeded with much important com-
munication on behalf of the Queen. The nature of
the mission on which the two Counsel left the House,
further than what we have alluded to, did not in
is any way transpire, that we could learn. Messrs.
Brougham and Denman did nut return to the
House.
On Saturday se'nnight the Rev. Edward Bankes,
LL B. was installed a Prebenkry of the Cathedral
Church of Norwich, in the ..00in of the Rev. George
Anguish, who has rtaigned.
Oa Friday last the Rev. G. E. Kant wat insti-
'tuted to the vicarage of Emit Winch, in Norfulk,
on the presentation of- Edmund Kent. the elder, of
East Winch aforesaid, Gent.
The sum of 1001. was last week paid into the
hands of the Rev. W. F. Dra':e, Treasurer to Ow
