ST. LOUIS, OCT. 23.—Mr. CHARLES GREGOIR,
Or St. Genevieve, has politely favoured us with
the copy of a letter, written on board the steam-
boat Hecla, from New Orleans, bound to this
place, and lying near Point Chiko, with her
boiler bursted and her crew in deep distress, as
will appear by the following :
" Steam-boat Hecla, Oct. 5.

" SIR—We are in tile greatest distress, now lying 20 miles
above Point Chiko. Our boiler bursted on Friday the 27tii of
September, killed two men, and severely scalded seven others.
MoNTEGO BAY (JAMAICA), OCT. s.—The schooner In-
dustry arrived at Kingston from Baltimore, was brought to on
the 2.2 d ult., off the Navasa and the East end of this Island,
by a schooner full of men, and her decks covered over appa-
rently to conceal her guns. She reported herself to be a Co-
lombian privateer, from a cruise, her name the El. Florenzo•
The Captain of the Industry having recognized the commander
of the privateer as a native of Baltimore, whose name is Hoff-
man, was treated politely, and suffered to proceed.

The Carlow Morning Post, we observe, adopts
our extracts from the London Journals, as well
as the leading articles from TUE SUN. This
practice, which originated in our Paper, is,
we find, peculiarly acceptable to our Country
Readers, and, of course, must be still more de-
sirable to those of the Carlow Joernal, as these
Extracts, in fact, comprehend the " pith and
marrow" of the London Daily Press.

The state of the Revenue for the present
quarter is said to be ,very favourable, in conse-
quence of the increased consumption of malt,
which has been so great since the reduction of the
price of beer, as to make the tax On that article
amount nearly to the same as it did previously to
its partial repeal.
On Friday evening Mr. WALSH, the King's
Messenger, left town with dispatches for Vienna.
On Christmas-eve there were no less than four
Messengers arrived in town ; they all came to
England in the same vessel from Calais. One of
them was a Spanish courier, with dispatches from
Sir Wm. A'Coutur, at Madrid : he travelled with
all possible speed. His dispatches were received
by Mr. PLANTA, the Under Secretary of State,
and forwarded by him to Mr. CANNING, at
Gloucester-hidge, who sent the contents to his
MAJESTY at Brighton, by a King's Messenger.
The other Messengers were Mr. WILLIAms and
Mr. PEGLER, from Verona and Paris, and a
Prussian courier.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER left town
on Friday evening.
Preparations are making for the arrival of
Prince ,LEOPOLD in England.
A Letter from Odessa, dated Nov. 30, says—
" There have been about 18 or 20 vessels lost
here within the last three weeks."

The French Papers contain several paragraphs
from which it appears that arms and ammunitiot
continued to be supplied to the bands of the
Faith from France, but that is a mode of sustain-
ing civil dissension in Spain, which, we may pre-
sume, would cease as soon as the news of the
ministerial change reached the frontiers.
The following is an extract of a letter from
Madrid, dated December 11:—" Curiosity is on tiptoe to learn
for whose reception the country palace of the Pardo is pre-
paring. It is about three leagues from Madrid, but though
the grounds about it are well wooded, the palace is a very
humble building, the least showy and convenient that belongs
to the Sovereign of Spain. It was to this place, you may re-
collect, the mutineer guards fled on the night they abandoned
the metropolis, and here they remained posted until the 7th of
July, the day on which they attacked Madrid at three different
points. The mansion is now fitting up with as little delay as
possible. It is supposed that the scruples of the Cones have
subsided a little, with respect to the detention of the King in
the metropolis, and that they will permit him to retire for a
month or two to the Pardo, where he can be well guarded,
and the vicinity of which to Madrid offers facilities for increas-
ing his guards in case there may be necessity."
The ' Duke of BEDFORD and Lord HOLLAND
visited Westminster Abbey a few days since, for
the purpose of viewing the monument to the me-
mory of the late Mr. Fox, which has lately been
placed at the outside of the choir, nearly oppo-
site to the great North entrance. After inspect-
ing the monument for some time, these Noblemen
gave orders for the removal of the cap of liberty,
whiCh had been placed near the bust of the de-
ceased. The cap has accordingly been removed.
Madame VESTRIS, it seems, has thought pro-
per to discharge herself from Drury-Lane
Theatre, where, if we are rightly informed, she
received twenty pounds per week !!! This
precipitancy of resignation is by no means un-
common with actors and actresses, who are too
apt to over-rate their talents and the extent of
.their popularity. One good consequence, however,
will probably ensue, as the public are less likely
to be annoyed by the revolting sight of women
in male characters.
Gog and Magog, we find, have withthazon
themselves from Drury-Lane Theatre, and
quietly remain in their original station, to ani-
mate the farces carried on at Guildhall by those
active Performers, Messrs. WAITIIMAN, &c. &c.
A new Pantomime, it appears, is announced at
Drury-Lane Theatre, now that the two greatest
characters in the metropolis have resumed their
Civic dignities, and preside over the Common
Councils.
Bis Hoe, the Composer, is appointed one of the
Professors of the Theory of Music and Composi-
tion to the Royal Academy of Music.
The remains of the Countess d'AGLIE were re-
moved yesterday morning from his Excellency's
house in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, for
interment .in the family vault at Aylesford, in
Kent.
