KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—On Sunday
morning a sermon was preached at St. Bride's Church,
Fleet-street, by the Rev. Henry Melvill, 8.D., Minister
of Camden Chapel, Camberwell,late fellow and tutor of
St. Peter's College, Cambridge, in behalf of the above
charitable institution, in Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn'
fields. At II o'clock the church was crowded to excess,
and hundreds went away d•sappointed. The reverend
gentleman took his text from the 9th'chap. of St. Mark
and the 44th verse ; his discourse excited great atten-
tion ; and the benevolent object for which he so
quently pleaded was benefitted by a collection amounting
to upwards of 941.
DEVICE I—A few days ago, Jack Horsley, a
waggoner at Hartley Colliery, bad occasion to drive a
horse and cart to the Hollow-well sands for a fother of
gravel ; and on returning, the horse, (a very strong, but
h very lazy, one,) refused to draw his load up the bank,
(which is of considerable acclivity,) notwithstanding all
the coaxing and threatening that Jack was master of ;
but being determined to make the horse finish its work,
Jack went off, and brought another horse, which he put
right a head of the idle one, as a leader, and pretended
to attach the chains by rattling them against the trams
after which, Jack gave a loud crack with his whip, and
a sharp call of encouragement, and away went the dupe
with the greatest ease imagi.iable, supposing he was
assisted all the time.—Berwick Advertiser.
THE TENTER'S STRIKE—GLASGOW OPERA'
TIVES.—We are happy to know that the observations
we made on this subject last Saturday have not bee"
made in vain. An amicable meeting of a committee
of the master manufacturers and a deputation of the
operative tenters was held yesterday. The latter, with
a magnanimity highly commendable, withdrew their
former pretensions, and submitted to the resolution Of
their employers, so that instead of any strike taking
place on Monday, which would have thrown hundreds
and thousands out of employment, the public works
will be resumed and carried on usual.—Scotch Re.
former's Gazette.
CORN-LAWS.—Mr. Acland's lecture at Lich-
field terminated on Tuesday evening. The lecture
which he consented to give on Saturday excited so
much interest in the community, that, at the request of
his numerous audience on that evening, he kindly an-
nounced his intention of giving one more (the sixth)
on Tuesday, to which the inhabitants, as on Saturday,
were admitted gratis. Upwards of five hundred were
present, including nearly every considerable occupier of
and in the city.—Staffordshire Examiner.
INSOLVENTS' AN 0 BANKRUPTCY COURTS.
—The following two cases which occurred yesterday in
the former Court show the confusion which arises; from
the concurrent jurisdiction of two Courts of different
practice in the same case :—John Makinson applied on
his petition to be discharged. It appeared that since
the arrest of the insolvent he had been made a bank-
rupt, and his property taken under the bankrupt laws.
He now came to this Court to obtain his discharge from
prison. The Court, after examining the insolvent, re-
quired an affidavit from the detaining creditor, setting
forth the manner of the arrest, as some doubt arose
whether it was a friendly and collusive one. Thomas
Coats applied on his petition to be discharged. Since
the filing of his schedule he had been made a bankrupt,
and his property put under the bankrupt laws. The
insolvent was discharged.
HAVRE, DEC. 13.—8 y letters just received
from Calcutta, dated Oct. 14, there are accounts of the

the baggage of the passengers and crew, were lost'
Three men and the captain's child were drowned. Tbe
