BURKE'S EXTINCT, DORMANT, and
SUSPENDED PEERAGES;

A Neees,ary Companion to all other Peerages.

This work, formed on a plan precisely similar to that
of Mr. Burke's very popular Dictionary of the Peerage
and Baronetage, comprises the whole of the Peerages of
the three kingdoms which have been suspended or ex-
tinguished since the Conquest, particularizing the members
of each family, 'in each generation, and bringing the
lineage, in all possible cases, through either collaterals or
females, down to existing houses. It connects, in many
instances, the new with the old nobility, and it will, in
all cases, spew the cause which has influenced the revival
of an extinct dignity in a new creation.
*** It should be particularly noticed, that this new
work pertains`nearly as much to extant as to extinct per-
sons of distinction ; for though dignities pass away, it
rarely occurs that whole families do.

By JOHN BURKE, Esq.
The Fourth Edition of this very popular work, which
has been delayed in order to embrace the recently created
Peers and Baronets, is now going' through the Press, and
will appear early in the new y?ar. The work has under-
gone another elaborate revisal, is considerably enlarged,
wbile every effort has been made to ensure accuracy in the
most minute details. All the great authorities upon Gene-
alogy have been studiously consulted, and when necessary,
individual information has been sought and obtained. The
Armorial Bearings have been newly engraved, and a plan
adopted in the printing, by which the Ensigns of each
Family will form a part of the article detailing its lineage,
that is to say, the arms will be formed respectively under
the lineage department, and not, as heretofore, all together
at the end of the book.

Mr. LEIGH HUNT'S forthcoming novel of
" Sir Ralph Esher" is written in the form of Memoirs of
a Gentleman of the reign of CHARLES the Second, so
that a kind of " Pelhatn" of that period might, we sup
pose, be expected. Those were the times for amusement.
when the ordinary conversation of the courtiers was wit,
and their every day actions were adventures. It is hardly
p >risible that the story should fail to be in the highest de-
gree piquant and interesting.
THE SOUTH SEAS.—The Rev. Mr.
STEWART'S account of his visit to the islands of the Pa-
cific is now before the public in two volumes. The object
of this gentleman in undertaking a voyage to Polynesia
was chiefly to assist in the dissemination of Christianity
among the natives ; for this purpose he lived among them,
and endeavoured to win their confidence, and his narra-
tive is, therefore, more than usually interesting in its
detail:. The islands, particularly as regards the condition
of the inhabitants, have never before been so fullrexplored.
IMPORTANT NEW PUBLICATIONS.—The
following New Works are just published by Mesas. CoL-

CURIOUS CusToM.—At East Hampstead,
mar Bagshot Heath, there was formerly a curious custom
on the installation of a new Lord of the Manor. The in-
habitants carried the Lord in a chair on their shoulders
round the Manor, their march commencing from a bill,
and after the circuit of the manorial boundary, the Lord
was unchaired on the said hill, and the inhabitants in-
flicted sundry stripes upon his breech with twigs. After
enduring this chastis•ment, the inhabitants dined and
passed the remainder of the day convivially with their
Lord.—Hone's Year Book.

THE UN KNOWN TONGUE.—The Glasgow

Chronicle says, on Sunday night one of the most extra-
ordinary scenes ever witnessed in a place of worship took
place in a meeting-house at Greenock. The speaker, Mr.
M‘DoNaLn, after praise awl prayer, and expounding for
an hour, gave out the 9:h Psalm, when he was inter-
rupted by Miss M‘DoNAr.n, his sister, who shrieked out
Judgment, judgment, judgment!" twenty or thirty
times, and continued to address the congregation in the
loudest tones for a quarter of an hour, in unconnected
short sentences, often repeated. Thrice she broke out in
the unknown tongue, and each time gave the interpreta-
tion; but the words in the tongue were each time nearly
the same, the interpretation was always different. Tke
following is a specimen of the tongue:—" Corru mo
versa ye ve la la le ne," &c. At the conclusion of her
address, a young man wished to put a question, but
would not be permitted ; another insisted strongly on
reading a verse, but was opposed with great clamour,
which continued till the parties separated,
DECREASE OE :THE THROWING DEPART-
mv.sx or SILK TRADE IN MACCLESFIELD.-11i8 'MA-
JESTY'S Speech to the Houses of Parliament having re-
commended a consideration of the present state of the
commercial interests of the nation, the Committee of Mill.
men in this town have, during the week, been engaged in
the col!ection of some information that may prove inva-
lualLe in the deliberations of the Legislature upon the dis-
tresses of the manufacturing population. They have ascer
tained that in the year 1624, previous to which no foreign
competition had been allowed, there were at work in Mac-
clesfield 296,000 spindles, while at present there are onl%
122,196, being a decrease of 123,801, or more than half!
In 1821 the number of hands employed in the throwing
department, was 10,229, men, women, and children, the
average amount of the wages of their labour being ten
shillings and sixpence-halfpenny per head, per week. Now
there are only 3, persons employed, the average amount
of whose earnings is only four shillings and twopence-
halfpenny per head per week. In 1621 the hands woe
working their full time, now they are employed, on do
average, only four days in the week. Petitions to botl
Houses of Parliament, and a memorial to the Board of
Trade, founded on the above facts, are in preparation ; and
it is to be hoped that they will have their due effect. I
every other town concerned in the silk trade were to re-
present the event of their sufferings under the reciprocity
system, alleviation we are confident could not longer b,
, w ithheld.—Macclesfield Courier.

be Jew lodges, was disturbed on. the preceding night
by a strange mixture of noises, consisting of laughter
and lamentation, in the garret where Pagastro dwelt.
As one of the conditions upon which he let his apart-
ments was, that no naughty women should remain
all night with his lodgers, he was surprised to firrd
two females in the garret long after the usual hour
of putting the street-door on the latch, but he was
much more surprised at the employment in which
they were engaged. The Jew had a long beard, in
Which there were as many white as black hairs. and
the women were plucking out the former, while the
Jew alternately sighed and sneezed rit the tweaks
given to his ancient adherents. The landlord
scarcely knew his tenant, who looked rip with tears
in his eyes, and a beard as black as soot, while a..
door was covered with the. prostrate -evidence of an.
tiquity. When he demanded of the Jew an expla-
nation of the breach of his domestic arrangements,
Pagastro started up, and with strength of body cor-
responding with his new appearance, pushed him
down stairs.

Pagaitro said, that his motive for having his beard
weeded was a good one. In his ceunCry it was
usual to haVe his beard plucked as a penance, and as
a Jew committed offences in Englsnd as w€li as in
Poland, why he thought he might use the same
means of absolution.

,Mr. Bernard said that the women gave a very dif-
ferent account of the matter, and declared that, as
the Jew was going sweet-hearting, he had employed
then: to renovate him a little.—(Laughter.)
The female defendants were in the fortune-telling
line, and could, without having any thing to do
with evil spirits, make a man of sixty pass for one of
half that age. They lived within a few doors of the
landlord's house; but as Mr. Pagastro wished to be
made young in private, they had walked along the
leads from their cockloft to his, and had got about
half way through the job when they were interrupre;.l.
The LORD MAYOR—And what more were you to
do to him to finish him off ? Ejlen Bryan—To
pluck his nostrils, his whiskers, and his eye-brows.
and to plump up his cheeks.—(Loud laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR, who observed that the Jew
was particularly lank-jawed, said that if a full face
could be made out of what be saw before him, the
two young wome❑ would soon have some of the city
old gentlemen creeping over the tiles to them.
• Peggy Bryan—Nelly, jewel, don't tell how we
plumps the cheeks. Any body might pull every
hair out of a body's carcase, but where will you
find one, barring ourselves, that can blow out a
face ?—(Laughter.)
Pagastro—My Lor, I vas not going for to have
my face blown our, but I vas going for to marry a
votnan for a vire.

The LORD MAYOR—Certainly there are men who
would think that a penance, but what did you mean
by saying you were punishing yourself for your
:ins ? Peggy Bryan—Please your Lordship, we were
going for to put him in a new pair of cheeks for a
lay or two, when he was to return 'em, for they
were engaged for an ould lady at BAlnondstey.
The LORD MAYOR did not wish to ply into the
mystery, but he would be very glad w know whether
the cheeks were to go inside or outside._
The women were silent.

A gentleman, who stood by, understood Llse
cheeks were very much worn, and that they were
wade of polished India rubber, and went inside upon
swivels.—(Loud laughter.) Half of the tails of
the horses of the Scotch Greys went upon the same
principle, and that they whisked round when the
horses were tickled on the left shoulders.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Bernard, I suppose
you are satisfied that the Jew meant so harm, and
hat he may go and get his face blown out ? Mr.
Barnard—Oh, certainly, my Lord, he may have hi.;
whole body blown out for what I care, but he sha'n,
bring no cheek-blowers to my house; for if I don't
keep it respectable I'm blowed.—(Laughter.) The
case was then dismissed.
