Ceasels fir the Aescint, 91i i.

We understand, that in consequence of the firm and
judicious conduct of Alderman Winchester during his Mayor-
ality, in protecting the interests of the manufacturers at
Belfast, who, it may be remembered, had been defrauded of
a considerable portion of their property, which had been traced
from Belfast to London, they have recovered payment to the
full amount of their property.
WESTMINSTER CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY.—The
members of, this society have appointed their annual dinner to
take place at Willis's Rooms, the third week in next month.
Lord Eliot has promised to take the chair. The Marquis of
Chandos, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and several other noblemen,
have expressed their intention of being present. One hun-
dred gentlemen have consented to act as stewards, and up-
wards of four hundred persons of the first respectability are
expected to be present.
M. de Chateaubriand has at length determined on
publishing his memoirs during his lifetime. The Noble Au-
thor has not wanted editors. The memoirs will form sixteen
volumes, two or three of which will appear at a time. Chro-
nological order will not be adhered to in this publication.
Thus the livraison devoted to the Ministry of 1822 and the
war in Spain will be the first. M. de Chateaubriand is to Jr,
paid down 150,000 f. for the property (12,000 f a year), tin to
the work be concluded, and an annuity of 25,000 f. reversible,

MELANCHOLY DEATHS.—In the early part of the
present month, Mr. Price, of Upcott, Herefordshire, beinS
rather unwell, had medical aid called in. When the medic
gentleman arrived, Mrs. Price asked the nature of her hus-
band's illness, upon which she was informed that his case wal;
hopeless. She immediately exclaimed " That is a art
wound for me ;" which proved too true, for in two days after-
wards
she died of a broken heart, and Mr. Price expired
about three hours afterwards.
ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—The ordi-
nary meeting was held on Monday evening, W. H. Hamilton,
Esq., in the chair. The Right Hon. Joseph Planta and seve-
ral other new members were elected, and presents were an-
nounced from the Lords of the Admiralty and various other
contributors. Captain Maconochie, the Secretary, read a let-
ter addressed by Sir John Ross to Captain Beaufort on the
subject of a new expedition to discover the North-west PO
sage. He considered that the easterly current in the Prince
Regent's Inlet was accounted for by the melting of the sill
and did not afford any proof of a passage to the Gulf of
Boothia. He likewise opposed the plan of sending out two
bomb-ships, and of pursuing the passage through the ice,
being attended with danger and not likely to lead to any Praia
tical results. It was absolutely necessary that the ships 5h°11,..,
draw less water than the surrounding ice, and, although
was only 7 feet, vessels of 18 feet draught had been propose
He considered that a small vessel would be more able to ate
complish the purpose, and be better able to sustain press b 8
than a large one, and suggested that proper ships should
his
constructed, with a steam-vessel to attend them. It was
opinion, as well as that of Sir Edward Parry, that the portio t
of the sea between the shore and the ice held out the greatest
hopes of auccess. Captain Maconochie expressed his disse:ll
from some of the views taken in the letter and consider
that Captain Ross had by no means established the fact of tboo
current being produced by the melting of the snow, 85 the
did not at all account for that from the west, as well a 5,00
drift-wood which had been seen by many navigators. ve
bombs proposed to be sent out likewise did not draw a.°
15 feet of water.

Meeting adjoirned: to the sth of April. ,d be'
A few days ago, at an inquest which was be' g bJ
fore Mr. Stirlini, at the George and Devonshire ArTfo'er
Chiswick Church, on the body of a respectably-dressed
son, which was found in the shrubberies of the Duke °hot.
vonshire's Park, Chiswick,—the coroner directed " give
Wright to keep the deceased a few days above ground, 00;0e'
the friends an opportunity of identifying his person. 11_I c,„
quence of the publication of the report, the next uai ode'
Clunn, the proprietor of the late Richardson's Hotel, 'lOOO
the Piazza, Covent-garden, from whose house an Aeon':
gentleman has been missing, under very mysterious °lir 0'
stances, went to Chiswick. He asked to see the boag
was told that it was buried. Wright said that he reighie to
the clothes, but by which he (dr. Clunn) was not iimen
recognize the deceased. From the description giv ersc'n
Wright of the body, it bore some resemblance to the P
missing from Mr. Clunn's. e ittst

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—W' sa then
as we received from "report, a circumstance which 115 s oralle
rise to a good deal of remark—namely, that one of °Ur t
Jurors at the present Assizes announced, not once orbeooo
lo
person, but openly and in various quarters, that truly 0 sora
not make up his mind as to the vote he should give uP°„ tint'
fiscal matter which was brought before the Grand Jur4.'aosser;
he had consulted his priest ! As a tail-piece to this bef°
tion, we may mention that a trial took place yesterdsiYietweo
Mr. Justice Crampton, for a felony, upon which an ilia as apr
was found, and conviction followed, and which matteriited I°ol
peered by the evidence, had been previously oho' Post
award to a tribunal of three priests !—From the KerrY
