Is Courier to the Queen arrived in
town on Friday morning, having gone by Mount
Cenis to Bologna, Florence and Leghorn, where he
met her Majesty. As he only left Dover on the
31st of January, this is an instance of extraordinary
dispatch. It is said that her Majesty was to set out
on her return to this country, as soon as she had re-
posed for a few days at her villa near Pesaro, hav-
sag been much fittigued with her late dangerous
voyage from Toulon to Leghorn, in which very bad
weather was encountered. Her Majesty was, we
understand, greatly affected by the sudden news of
the late King's death.
The Emperor of Austria has recently adopted a
most liberal system of treatment with regard to Lis
Jewish subjects. He has given orders that Rabbis,
previous to their being appointed to particular sync.
gogues, shall be examined as to their proficiency in
the philosophical sciences and theology, and that
IllopPokobeil M as** to thou, ow a wale corm-
" stehnding with the* acquirements. The Jewish
youth are entitled to all the benefits of instrost ion ut
the public seminaries, without any violation of their
religious tenets or observances. On the other hand
it is ordered, that the Jewish Prayer Books shall be
translated into the vernacular tongue, and their re.
ligious discourses be delivered in the same language.
Ia the ordinance issued on this subject, a confident
expectation is expressed, that the Israelites will,
by their morals, talents, and other qualifications,
expedite the period when it may be no longer
necessary to maintain any distinction whatever be-
tween them and the other subjects of the Austrian
monarchy.

GLASGOW, Fen. 23.—Last night a large party of
the Radical Reformers, which met in a tavern in
the Gallo gate, were apprehended, by a warrant
of the Sheriff of the County, and committed to
the
.jail of this city ; 28 in all were seized, consist..
ing of delegates from various places in the city and
suburbs, as also from different towns and villages
in the neighbouring counties. Their examinations
are now going on at the Court-Room, before the
Shisitl. The appearance of the military, and the
seizure of such a number of individuals, collected
a considerable crowd. The shopkeepers closed their
shops, and for about an hour there was much bus-
tle and confusiea iw the street. The military guard,
in returning %go the barracks, were followed by a
crowd cif disorderly persona, and assailed with
stones. We are glad to understand, however, that
four of the most active in the mob were laid hold
of, and are at present in custody ; and that a pie-
cognition is going on, with a view to their trial for
this daring offence. The sentinels at the jail were
doubled. and in a short time the town attained its
usual tranquillity.
Loan NELSON.—Lord Nelson was, from his
infancy remark-able for his disinterestedness and
intrep'dity. When ut school at North Wal ham,
the master, the Rev. Mr, Jones, had some remark-
ably line pears, which his scholars kid often wished
for ; but the attempt to gather them was, in their
opinion, so hazardous, that no one would undertake
it ; when Horatio, -on seeing all his compa-
nions staggered, came forward and
brave the danger. He wwg aceordingt
down from their dormitory by some si
together ; and thus, at a considerable risk,
the- prize ; but the boldness of the act w
the young adventurer regarded; for
hauled up again, he shared the pears
school-fellows, without receivile, any fur
and added, '` I only took them because
boy was afraid."
