Soriely for Prorao7iWg giorvi;dge.—The An-
nual' Mutter of ibis Society was held on Wednesday
evenine; ut Freemasons' 1101. At five o'clock, the com-
pany, .200 in number, eonsistiim of the timid eminent
divines, sat down to dinner. the 'Bishop of Worcester
in the Chair. Ott the cloth being remoyrd, and the
usual loyal toasts given, the health of the Bishop of
Worcester was drink with great applause; out which
his Lordship, in a few words, returned thanks. On the
health of the- Treasurer beim( drank. he stated, that the
receipts of the last year amounted to 65,9391 Ps. Pd. and
that the expenditure but cleared that sum. Out the
health of the Secretary, Gcorze Gaskin, D. D. being
drank, he returned thanks, and stated that the number
of Bibles, Testaments, Prayer and other Books, Tracts,
&c. were 1,427,808!-=The company broke up at an
early hour, blot a considefauleroliection was made.

CURIOUS WAORR.—.Thursday a man undertook
for a wager of twenty guineas, that ho would in a
boat row under the eight fi►llowing bridges, and alto
walk over them in the short space at' two hours.—
He started from London-bridge, and walked over
it. as he did the Iron-bridge at Southwark, Black-
friars, Waterloo, Westminster, Vauxhall, liattersea,
and Putney Bridges. Ile performed this extraor-
dinary task with the most comparative ease, in 11
minutes less than the given time. The odds were
6 and 7 to 4 against-him. The above feat has been
pronounced by the watermen.upon the Thames as 2
very clever exploit.
On Friday, the Albion, 71,. Capta'n Coode, .C. B.
lately returned from the Mediterranean, was paid
off The row received three years' wages, in the
whole about 15,0001. A body of then►, more pro.,
vident than the rest, instantly remitted •about
3,0001. to their friends, and set off soon afterward o►n
their return home. We rsg►et to hear that two of
the crew were killed, by accident, whilst employed
in unrigging the ship, and several were severely
bruised. The Albion was recommissioned on Sa-
turday by Capt. Raggett, as the third guard-ship at
Portsmouth.

Several insurrectionary movements are said to
have taken piece in Sicily, the inhabitants of which
are descried as discontented with their new system
of Government. Several regiments, have, in ewe.
sequence, been despatched thither from Naples.
The Sprightly schooner, Baker, master, arrived,
at Portsmouth on Wednesday from Lisbon, bring-
ing the corpse of the late Duke of Bueeieus
which was landed early on Saturday morning at the
Dock-yard, and immediately set out for Boughton—
hmise, near Kettering, Northamptonshire The
cavalcade consisted of a hearse and two mourning
coaches, etch with six horses, followed by the pri-
vate carriage of his Grace.
We are again assured, itays the Bremen Minns'
of May the I Bth. that Sandt is yet alive. Accord-
ing to report, a proposal had actually been made to
put him to the torture, but w s rejected with itulig_
nation by the Grand Duke. Letters have also
reached London stating, that the Grand Duke of
Baden had been so enraged at the proposal, that he
discharged the Commission tOr investigating the
affair.

A letter from Stockholm, dated the 14th inst•
says, " The departure of the Crown Prince to the
camp at Selionen has been positively fixed for the
22d. The King, whose horses were sent forward
some days before, will follow on. the Stl of June.
Complaints have a second time been bronAht for-
ward befbre his Majesty by the regency of Norway,
against M. Gram, the consul-general at (open.
hagen, for having, in the passports delivered to them,
designated Norwegian sailors as Swedish tubjecls.
Count Schwerin, grandson of the Field-marshal of
that name, and the first speaker in the Swedish
Diet, has, to the general regret of all Sweden, been
deprived of his sight by a cataract. Every one
who has attentively watched the proceedings of the
Swedish diet since 1809, must know with what in.
trepidity and • acuteness he attacked the ministers
whenever he deemed them in the wrong, and how
ardently he sought to establish the same principles
attritional representation here as in England. Find-
ing himself defeated in all his attempts, he with-
drew himself from the last diet a few months be-
fore the termination of its sittings, expressing hi
determination never again to assist at its delibera-
tions."

As a proof of the great facility of commtmica.
tion at present with the United States of America,
we record the following fact :—A respectable house
in this town addressed their correspondents in New
York, on the 3,1 April, by the Triton, Capt. Hol.
comb, for Boston, w hich vessel made an estraordi-
nary passage of 111 days to that port, from whence
the letters went by the moil to New York, mil the
reply, dated the 25th April, was delivered in Liver-
pool on the 14th May, after a passage of ls days.
The whole being thus accomplished in the unpre-
ce,lentedlv short period of forty-one days, the total
distance being 6,160 tails.—Lircrpool ntrier. .

I'rom the mode in which the House of Comthonv
is at present ventilated, the sudden transitions front
cold to heat must ty.: very rrejuJieial to the human
constitution. If some improvement does not take
place, there need shortly be no Stevranishi?s of the
Chiltern Hundreds. fur the accommodation of th
members.
