The Duke of Wellington visited the Tom !r on
Wednesday, and, accompanied by Colonel Anson, ex amined
the arms and stores with great attention. roe utmost activity
prevails in the ordnance department.

The Earl of Aberdeen left Arg,l: 11 House. on Wed-
nesday, on a visit to the Dowager Cov:atess Cowper, at Pan-
sanger, Herts. Ilis Lordship retneraed to town yesterday.
It is rumoured that the Noble Lora will, in the course of the
present year, be united to a w:dow of excellent rank in the
north, whose estates are in the, vinity of his Lordship's.
Murphy's " Weather Almanac," which is snaking
such a noise, has been copied by some of those respectable per-
sons that live or, the industry of others, and this pirated edition,
with all the essential details, may now be had in the street for
one penny. This certainly is an outrageous infringement of
copyright, but even with the amended law it may be difficult
to reach the low disreputable persons who print such publica-
tions. The printing is carried' on in secret by some one nearly
as poor probably as the wretched creatures that sell them in
the stieets, who cares as little a's:they:about imprisonment, and.
who has no property on which, to levy a fine. A more mode-
rate price might have prevented the public from giving encou-
ragement to these offenders. Enormous profits on books, or
patent articles, lead as certainly to such practices as enormous
duties lead to smuggling.
CHURCIT-RATEs.--On Wednesday last a distraint
was made on the Rev. T. Shakespeare, Pastor of the Baptist.

able debt was due on the Chapel propeny, towards the .
charge of which he has contributed 200/_ out of a slips nd eif

sacrifice for the cause of religion he has cheerfully mad, e, and_
has not hesitated to • suffer " the despoiling of his g oodsr
rather than pay Is. in support of a Cysts:at of injustice a ttd in-
