By C. J. GRANT,
And containing a complete fund of amusement in summer or
winter, fur young or old, grave or gay, which will never get stale by
keeping, but " drive away the blues," and make yet laugh and

" Our object in producing our penny paper was to furnish a class
of readers for whom we had long, and, we hope, not fruitlessly,
laboured, with a cheap unstamped, comprising much of the useful
and the agreeable • and if we slay judge of the result by the appro-
batory testimony we have from all quarters received, wo have not
wholly failed of oar object. Although politics are proscribed to us
a large field of investigation, comprising much of philosophy and
social economy, is left open to our inquiries : and our purpose is to
turn what we may hero find to the best and most profitable account
in reference to the improvement and well-being of our fellow-men.
If our friends think we deserve well for our purpose, we ask their
co-operation in carrying it out. We have no reason to complain
of a paucity of readers ; but if each one we now have would procure
us another, they would so far strengthen our hands as to enable us
to add greatly to the power of the Penny Gazette, by considerable
improvements in all its departments. We say thus much from a
sense of duty, and cheerfully leave ourselves in the hands of oar
friends."

The following communications have taken place on this subject :
(COPY.)
Winchester House, 24th November, 1837.
My dear Sir.,—l have just received the enclosed from the India
House, in consequence of the application which, on your sugges-
tion, I made some time ago, for a copy of the new regulation re-
elating the liort to port trade in India, for the information of mer-
chants kid ship-owners interested in the imbject.
It is a melitire t#pen which, during its pi ogress, 1 have bestowed
n anxious attention:; its well from the representation' that have
Icon made to me, as from 7.1 Y own deep sense of its importance.
The arrangement will, I trust, give general satisfaction to the
cernmereial and shipping interests of the empire for, while it re-
moves vexatious disabilities and useless restrictions from the trade
between our Indian possessions and foreign countries, its provisions
are framed in accordance with the principle of our Navigation Laws,
by securing the carrying and coasting trade in India exclusively to
native and British shipping.
Melt of the former regulations enacted by the Indian authorities,
under the powers vested in them by 37 6eo. 111. are repealed ;
is d"ed, those regulations have reference chiefly to a state of things
no longer existing, having been framed from time to time, under
the varying political circumstances. and changes of commercial and
maritime policy, which have -,..iceessirely prevailed in India, as well
as in the mother country, during the eventful period of the last
forty years.
I may add, that the Board of Trade, as well as the India House
authorities, have concurred in the new regulation, which has ap-
peared to them sufficiently clear and comprehensive, in its provi-
sions, to preclude any misconstruction, and at the same time to
embrace all the important objects contemplated by its enactment.
Should you wish any further explanation on the subject, I shall
be happy to give it you.—l remain, my dear Sir, yours very truly,
(Signed) GEORGE LYAi-P.
To J. W. Buckle, Esq.

(COPY.) '
Eist India House, :.11 November, 1837.
am commanded, by the Court of DirecLorn of the East
India Company, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
17th instant, and agreeably to your request to transmit-to you, for
the information of the merchants and ship-owners interested in the
subject, a copy of the enacting part of a regulation affecting the
port•to port trade in India, which was transmitted to the Govern-
ment of India, under date the 28th July last, with instructions to
promulgate and carry the same into effect.—l have the honour to
be, Sir, &c.
(Signed) JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.
To George Lyall, Esq., &e. &c.

" Foreign ships, belonging to any State or country in Europe,
or in America, so long as such States or countries respectively re-
main in amity with her Majesty, may freely enter the British sea-
ports and harbours in the East Indies, whether they come directly
from their own country, or from any other place, and shall be there
hospitably received.
" And such ships shall have liberty to import into such sea-
ports, from their own respective countries, goods, the produce of
their countries, and to export goods from such sea-ports to any
foreign country whatever, conformably to the regulations esta-
blished, or to be established, in such sea-ports.
" Provided that it shall not be lawful for the said ships, in time
of war, between the British Government and any State or Power
whatever, to export from the said British territories, without the
special permission of the British Government, any military or naval
stores, saltpetre or grain, nor to receive goods on board at one
British port of India, to be conveyed to another British port of
India, on freight or otherwise ; but, nevertheless, the original in-
ward cagoes of such ships may be discharged at different British
ports, and the outward cargoes of such ships may be laden at diffe-
rent British ports, for their foreign destinations."

FRANCE

(From the French Papers of Friday and Saturday.)
THE LAST INFERNAL MACHINE —A letter from Doctor Kunzel on
the history of the machine which was intended to be used by Hubert, is
given by the Constitutionnel of Friday. According to this, it was in.
vented ten years ago by a Swiss named Steuble, who took his plan to St.
Petersburg, where he borrowed money of a man to whom he pledged it,
but who attempted tosecure to himself the whole benefit of the discovery,
which was to be exhibited to the Emperor Nicholas. Steuble having dis-
covered this, sold his machine t.) the British Charge d'Affaires for
12,0001., and on the morning of the day on which its powers were to be
displayed to the Czar, contrived to explode and destroy it. The British
Government having refused to perform the contract M. Steuble came to
France, anti offered his machine to the Government, but meeting with
no success, went to Vienna, leaving it in the hands of his son; with the
nature of whose transactions with Hubert the Doctor is unacquainted.
The following is the description he gives of the machine t—lt is a single
cannon, placed on an ordinary gun-carriage, having several mouths,
which throw 172 balls in a minute, or 10,220 in an hour, car ying them
to a distance of 2,500 feet. This gun, which requires six men to serve
it, and may be drawn by four horses, is intended for beseiging fortresses ;
but Steuble has formed field pieces upon the sine model, throwing
8,160 balls in an hour, and mountain guns throwing 6,000 balls in the
same time.
The Bank of France has issued a notice, that from January 2 It will
give bills payable at sight, to order, and consequently negotiable by
cridorcement, for any sum from 500 f. to 20,000 L The demand made
by travellers for negotiable paper on Paris, and the facilitating of the
circulation of money between different commercial places, have induced
the Bank to adopt this measure. Application must be mate., at the
Caisse des Recetees.

The Constitutionnel mentions a report as being current yesterday,
that in consequence of the events in 11.•Igium and the attempts of Hol-
land, the French Government had given orders for a corps of observa-
tion to be formed on the frontier.

According to certain diplomatic rumours which we deem deserving of
credit, the Emperor Nicholas persists in his resolution to marry the
Grand Duchess Olga to the Duke of Bourdcaux, and is now negotiating
another union for his son and heir with Princess Clementine of Baden.
This Princess, who is only 18 years of age, is very handsome, and
highly sccomplished. If we are to believe some Court indiscretions,
her picture was sent two years ego to the Autocrat, and the mar.
!lags is now on the point of being concluded. The Russian monarch is
said to insist, as a sine qua non, on the dismissal of two Mnisters of
Baden, belonging to the French party, and on their successors being
chosen from among the friends of the Muscovite system. Russia in.
tends, moreover, to avail herself of the influence this matrimonial al-
liance will secure to her for the purpose of urging the construction of
the fortress of Itastadt, for which France was obliged to pay a war
contribution in 1815. These facts are not official, but have obtained
some credence in the diplomatic circles.—Le Commerce.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, FRIDAY, DEC. 29,
ELRCTION OF THE COMMITTEE ON TIE •DDRISS.

The discussion of the address in the first Standing Committee off,red
little idterest. M. Boissy d'Anglas was returned a Commissioner by 22
rotes.

In the second Committee M. Glaig Bazoin began by demanding the
repeal of the laws of September, and was supported by M. Ma7ti:i (du
Bas Rhin). Messrs. Chegaray and Jollivet contended for the utility of
those laws, and opposed their repeal. M. Tillers insisted on the neces-
sity of the amnesty being extended to contumacious political offenders.
M. Martin likewise concurred in the measure, which was resisted by
M. de liau+sy. On the question of the reduction of the Five per
Oents. th- Committee was unanimous in proclaiming it a useful and
equitable measure, but thought that the initiative there ,f should be left
to the Government. M. Guizot, seeing lie had no chance of being re-
turned a member of the Committee on the address, invited his friends
to vote in favour of M. de Berigny, a Ministerialist, who obtained 04
votes, against M. Chaix d'Est Ange, who had 19, and M. Gillon, the
other anti.doctrinaire candid.te, 0.
Genseil Jacqueminot, as a deputy for Paris, pleaded the cause of the
80,000 rentiers, its inhabitants, who would suffer by the reduction of
the 5 per Cents. As regarded Algiers, the General observed, that it
was a que.tion deserving the most serious attention, that the blood and
treasure of France should be reserved for the defence of her continental
territory, and that, if attacked on the Rhine, it wood take a gre.4 deal
of time to transport thither the 54,000 men necessary for the occupation
of Algiers.

The discussion being closed, M. Jacqueminot was elected commis.
sinner of the address, by 22 votes, in opposition t M, Sauze', who
obtained 20.

In the fourth committee, M. Salverte having inquired of M. Salvandy
what the Government intended to do with Algiers, the Minister replied
that "it meant to retain it as a French province."
In the third Committee, M. Sauzet contended that the Government
should be required to continue in the new road opened by the amnesty.
M. Sauzet blamed the silence observed, in the speech with regard to
England, the alliance of which state had been so advantagems to the
dynasty of July, and said, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs should
be called upon to give categorical explalations on that subject. He
then recommended that the Government should decide definitively what
was to become of Algiers,—" that conquest so glorious for the French
arms, so useful as a market for the agricultural produce of the southern
departments, and so conducive to the future prosperity of French trade."
Sauzet concluded by advocating the reduction of the 5 per Cents.—
an operation which, he said, was perfectly practicable in the present
flourishing state ~f the finances.
Dufaure was then elected commissioner by 22 votes; 5 other op-
position votes were given to M. Salve:te. M. Amilhau had only 16.
In the sth Committee, M. Passy was returned a Commissioner by 30
votes. M. Dumon had only 11.
In the 6th Committee the discussion turned on the laws of Septem.
bet'. Electoral Reform, the Amnesty, &c., but the Doctrinaires, repre.
sented in It by M. Jaubert, were defeated on all tho,e paints. M.
Bignon, of Nantes, had 19.
In the 7th Committee, M. Martin (du Nord) stated that the policy
of the present Cabinet was the continuation of that of the 11th Oc-
tober. M. Bernard (de Rennes) was then elected commissioner by '25
votes; M. Duvergier de Hauranne only obtained 14,
An angry discussion, which occurred in the Bth Committee, between
Messrs. L'Herbette and Berenger, both of Opposition, was the cause o
of a division between the Tiers Parti and the Gauche, and of the
success of M. Belleyma. In this Committee M. Rosamel, the Minister
of Marine, announced that the Luxemburg affair was setaed.
In the 9th Committee the reduction of the Rentes was advocated by
Messrs. Drautt and C unin Gridiane, and opposed by M. Gisquet. M. S'.
Marc Girardin was el"cted commissioner by 27 votes. M. C. Gridainc
obtained 16.

On the 31st of December, 1836, the thcr►nomett r
stood at 32 in the afternoon, ‘vith north-rest wind and snow ;
yesterday. at 011 VIM hour, it stood nearly 52, with a south-
west wind and. sunshine. .

DIARY ILLUSTRATIVE OF TIIE TIMES OF
GEORGE IV., WITH ORIGINAL LETTERS OF QURF.N CAROLINE,
&c., 2 Vor.s. (CoLßuati.)—These volumes have reached us
only just in time to allow c,f our saving, that they seem to in
elude a most extraordinary collection
of materials, for the
‘• secret history" of the limes to which they relate—materials
vshich admirers of htgll station would earnrstly base wish,d to
see buried in otlivion, but which, when circumstance s do cx.,
pose them to public scrutiny, the world has a just right to
avail itself of the warning and the instruction ti ey d ; in-
deed, such use is the only just compensation that the world
can make to itself for the moral outrage which is inflicted
on it, whenever expositions of this nature are offered at the
shrine of curiosity. We shall give a detailed notice of these
extraordinary volumes, next week.—Naval and Military
Gazette.
