EXETER-TUESDAY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The approaching county meeting to address the
Queen, excites a great deal of interest throughout the
whole of the county. The Tories have announced
their intention to oppose the Reformers, with whotti the
meeting originated, and will, it is thought,. support the
Dowager Queen against the Queen Regnint. But
whatever may be their tactics, they must fight. It will
never do for them to allow the Reformers, who wit
possess a single County Member to carry a county
meeting ; so the word has gone forth, the banners of
the chiefs are unfurled, and the houses of Bicton (Lord
Rolle), Powderham (Lord Devon), Haldon (Sir L. V.
Palk), Great Fulford (Colonel Fulford), Bishop's-
I Court (Alderman Garrett), Nutwell-court (Sir Trayton
Drake), and all the small squires who are moved
by the Church, and all the parsons who are moved by
pelf and Philpotta will be present, and the host of
the Tories, therefore, will be great indeed—for all
the houses enumerated above lie in the vicinity bf Exe-
ter. But although the fight will be severe,l hive so
doubt of the result. The spirit of the country is de-
cidedly loyal and free. Freeholders at large will not
do any thing to encourage the party who can only take
office on the principle of crushing the Queen and tramp-
ling on the people. The Honnurable N. Fellowes, with
whom the requisition for the meeting originated, is more
heartily hated by the Tories than any other man in
Devonshire—because, he being heir to an Earldom, has
stood forward as the most decided advocate of the
people ; and although much interested, if he could de-
scend to a paltry regard of his own mere personal in-
terests in Church property, yet he has been the most
uncompromising opponent of the parsons, and the bit-
terest enemy of the bishops, as political parsons,
whom they have had to encounter. The Tories, there-
fore bring to this meeting a personal hatred of the Re-
formers, as well as a large feeling of disloyalty to the
Queen, and in this rabid and unhappy steam of mind
they will make a devil of a stir to carry their point.
They have many advantages—a bad cause and a de-
spairing fight, with the black flag nailed to the mast-:-
and these are advantages to fellows of their kidney—for
a good cause would bother them so completely thatithey
would not know how to manage it.
The High Sheriff is a Tory ; apart from his polities
a most honourable man ; but when the serfs and parsons
hold up their hands against the loyal address he may be
deceived as to numbers.

The Under Sheriff is a Tory, steward and friend of
Earl Devon ; if the High Sheriff make a blunder in the
numbers, the Under Sheriff will have some difficulty
in correcting him ; and if he did, some profane people
might fancy that it was the " Devil correcting sin."
However the Queen will have plenty of loyal men
there to insist on fair play, and we have no fear for the
result.

HISTORY OF THE NAVY OF THE UNITED
STATES : By the Author of 't THE PILOT," &c.—We
have perused this history with no little curiosity, and with
great interest. Cunsideriwg the brief existe,Ece of the
American marine, its annals are more eventftl, more ro-
mantic, and more various than any in existence. Nothing
can surpass the energy which enabled the United State%
to form an effective navy, at a time when they could hardly
be said to have had a political existence ; and when they
were beset by greater difficulties than any which an infant
nation had ever yet to encounter. This consideration has
animated the present historian, whose enthusiasm seems to
be kindled by his office of chronicler, even more than when
he formerly sought inspiration fiat' the same souroe, in
constructing his famous stories of the sea. His nationNl
pride has, however, not tempted him to be, after the mea-
ner of his countrymen, vain-glorious as regards his own
nation, and abusive towards others. This work, accord-
ingly, is more fair and candid than could have been ex-
pected on such a theme from an American pen. Alto-
gether this history is a valuable one, and cannot rail to
pass into universal circulation. The incidents which took
place in the naval war with Tripoli are grander and more
heroic than any thing in the circle of romance, and are de-
tailed with all the vigour and animation of Mr. Cooper's
genius.—Naral and Military Gazette.

AWNING EXTRAORDINARY.—The Scotsman
narrates an instance of dislocation of the jaw from yawn-
ing. By far the most singular case of this description we
ever heard of occurred in Ayr many years ago. A womsa
between sixty and seventy years of age, named Gillespie,
who lived in Townhead, had been so addicted to'yawnin,
in church as to call down the reproof of the Rev. Dr. Dal
rymple upon her for the habit. At last the habit cured
itself, for the poor woman yawned her jaw out of joint.
The case was a very obdurate one, as the late Dr. Bone,
Dr. Whitside, and indeed the whole faculty who attended,
could not reduce the dislocation. The singularity of the
case lies in the sequel. After living mostly on soft food,
with her jaw dislocated, fur a twelvemonth, the roman
again went to church, and yawned her jaw into its place
again I The incident smacks a good deal of the Irishman
who ran through a hedge and scratched out his oyes, and
ran back and scratched them in again. But the leafs of
the case we have stated are beyond dispute. —Dumfries

MADRID ..MAY 97.—A sudden panic has seized
on the inmates'of the Palace and the Ministry within the
last few days. It appears that some information has come
into their hands which induces the Queen and the Cabinet

ciently strong to produce a serious impression in the high
quarter alluded to. A man who has conducted himself as
the Baron de Meer has for some time back is, of course,
capable. of any violation kf the laws of the country, and of
any treason to its Sovereign. lle has been openly setting
at ddiance Loth onz and the other for a length of time. - ,
