THE NATIONAL HRGISTitilt.

few day; ago a young man was brought to Shadwell Police
Mee, on a charge of ba.tardy, by the overseers of Poplar, and the.
charge being proved against him he was set at large on condition that.
he would either marry the girl or allow a sum per week for the main-
tenance of the child : he preferred the latter, and Ihr the purpose of.
evading both the paush and the gid, entered oa board a ship which
was about to sin: Wednesday morning lie was p•rweeding towards
the ship with sonic luggage; but on his way thither he dropped
down, and instantly ex; ired. His body was taken into the work-
house (where the girl is confined) for a Coroner's inrue•t.

On Monday evening last, about Seven o'clock, as the Rev. Daniel
Parkes, of Charles Street, flatten Ganien,, was goinF along High

E Si LE PRE.benEtt —The finale that visited the late un-
fortunate men in Newgate, while under sentence of death for titter-
ing forged mess is in the constant habit of preaching in Chapols and
Meetings. She ascends the pulpit, attended by a tall-man of a dark
complexion, with a long beard. very much resembling a Jewish
Priest. lie first begins singing something about himself. but it is
neither a psalm nor hyma tune; after which. the holds forth for near
an hour. rite female then rises and finishes the discourse, he remain-
ing all the time in the pulpit. —They have traxened together through
most parts of America. They preached a few days past at a Chapel
in time Borough, and at other places. lie has lately pablishial an
account of his travels during Its life.—The woman is dressed in the
costume of a Qiaker, and appears to be upwards of 60 years old.
They are very shortly going back to America. A few nights past,
they visited an obscure place of worship in Blue Anchor Yard, Ito:r-
-mary Lane. I wring his discourse. he took occasion to use a simili-
tude, by taking tor of the socket one of the eandlta. declaring to the
Congregation, slide one spark of sin remained. they could not enter
Heaven; mud various other equally singular allusions.

It is said to be in the contemplation of Minister: to propose a very
colsiderable reduction in the Windsor Establishment, soon after the
meeting of Parliament. It is certain that the services of the greater
part of his I:ijesty's present retinue will be dispensed with early in
the month of April. They have already received notices to that
effect front Gen. Taylor :tad Gen. Stevens. That the finances of the
country require every aid the most skilful husbandry can ad-
minister, is now no longer disputed ; and we know of very few mea-
sures of economy which would he inure generally acceptable to the
Public than the reduction of the Establishment in question. If
splendid equipage, and co.* ceremonials. could, in the slightest de-
gree, alleviate the malady which afflicts our venerable Socereign„ we
would deem it a sacrilege to remove them. But it is ki:own that his
Majesty is not affected by external objects; and, to every feeling
mind, the pomp by a:licit he has been hitl.eito surrounded, appear-
ed little else than idle oitetitation.

IiONSIERIF.S AND BURGIANIES.—TIac shop of Mr. !Solomon

some rob'ier, who, unperceived, carried off a cask of snuff. o Atte

-following news:—
" BRIIS.)ELS, DEC: Q9.—As we hail presumed, the
number of persons who perished at Amsterdam, in the
evening of the :rid of this month, dm ing the for, has
Leen greatly exaggerated. The last accounts from that
city slate, ttott the nma.ber amounted to aLt;ut thirty
.only.

King of France, of the 25th of this mouth, twenty-

expences of the kingdom for 1819, and has been adopt-

consequence, the contribution duties and revenues wi!l
continue to be levied on the same footing as in 1818,
till other legislative regulations are made on the sub-
lea."

The Billowing is an extract of a private letter from
Paris, dated the 30th alt.—" Baron Louis, our new
Finance Minister, has already put matters in train fur

to take place. The appoil t nent etillaron Louis is very
popular, and has given general satisfaction to the

A new field has been opened for exertion among the
electors of Westminster, in consequence of an event
which many consider as a triumph, but which, to what-
ever cause. tt may Lc attrihnted, was not anticipated—
we allude to the resignation on the part of Sir Murray
Maxwell of his pretmsions to represent the city of
Westiniwt.:r in Parliament. The moment this deter-
mine iit was made known, the ministerial party
entered into a discussion as to whom it would be
poper to select as a sucsessor in their favour and in
whim support the funds which they have already col-
lected are to be expended. Rumour states, that a
deputation of the citizens is again to wait upon Mr.
'Wetherell, the barrister, who defended 1)r. ‘Vatson,
to request him to permit his name to be put in nomina-
tion as one of the candidates.

The Sophia sloop of war, Captain Sir Wm. Wiseman,
is ordered to proceed without delay to St. Helena,
with dislatches from Sir Hudson Lowe. As the
destination of this vessel wa4 fixed flir Jamaica, it is
said the aispatches must be of great importance to
/c oder any deviation necessary.
On Wednesday a ballot was held at the East India
House, for the election of a Director, in the room of

THE NA nov.u, nEGisTrn.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

Stn,—lt must have been generally observed that
Cm. some weeks past there has been a continual drop in
the corn market, amounting to least to eight or feu
shillings per quarter; but contrary to the expectation
of every one, instead of flower hulling five u
sack on M,atdav last, we have been told that it advanc-
ed that sum. This is, indeed, so very mysterious, that
1 cannot commehend it ; and I am cfmruient that your
numerous readeis will feel obliged if this enigma is
esplained Fur my own part, I can only suppose that
the Mute of the market was not Liirly reported, or that
one of those tricks was played of, which is sometimes
practised in .ark Lane. As an individual, 1 urn sa-
tisfied there is a ;pod deal of underhand work carried
on by the corn-factors and meal-men who frequent that
place; but the misfortune tor the poor is, that the
mischief goes farther. 1 therefore deplore, with thou-
sands in the metropolis, that the assize MU& ever taken
off: this, as fir us it went, was a very wholesome
cheik ; end were it now in operation, the highest price
of the portent loaf in London would be only ten-
pence; in sonic ports of the courtly it is nine-pence :
and until it finds that level throughout the British
empire, and rsmains there, we shall never see any true
national prosperity ; for upon the e. ice of the quartern
as lo as u..r •anufaetures are concerned, depends
not °Ay our foreign trade, but the internal peace of
the country.

" His NI sjesty's disorder remain* unaltered. Ills Majesty con-
tinues Llieerful, And in good general health."

mus.day. to all the poor surrounding het, her Half
Yearly contribution, in mosey, clotbes coals, bread,
meat, &c as well as new clothing, and a sumptuous
dinner, to all the children wham she has educated.

In Consequence of Lord Castlereagh not being re-
covered fi•unm his indisposition, a Cabinet Council was
held held at his house at two o'clock on Saturday, which
was attended by the rani of Liverpool, Viscount hid-
mouth, Earl Bathurst, the Duke of Wellington, Mr.

A letter from St. John's, Newfoundland, dated the
Ist ult. says :—During the gale from the N. E. on
Tuesday, a 'boat was seen standing in for the Narrows ;
when just about Black Head u heavy sea broke upon
her; she immediately disappeared, and melancholy to
relate, all hands perished ! The same day, we under-
stand, a boar, in going from Hollyrood to Bay Roberts,
to which place she belonged, was struck by a heavy sea,
filled, and went down ; and the crew, consisting of five
men, were all lust. What renders the circumstance
inure distressing is, that three of them were brothers,
were married, and had in the three families twenty•
one children.

The tollowing is an extmct of a letter from the same
place. dated the .sth ult.:—
On Wednesday evening, . while the seamen of the
brig Emily were wheeling some ballast through Mr.
Hogan's stage on board that vessel, Michael Mullally,
a cGoper, came down something in li.tuor, and began sit
altercation with them, upon which James Tott, one of
the crew, told Mtn to go about his business, and took
hold of Mullally by the collar to shove him away ibla
the head of the stage; the latter want up to the stage,
and %vat:Mug an opportunity, gave Tott a sever: stab
in the si,le with a pew. Medical aid aaa immediately
