The following notice from the ito‘sion Con-
sulate, dated July 21, 1825, appeared yesierday
at Lloyd's:—

" The undersignA Consul General Of the Empir!! ;If Russia
in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, being
authorized by his Government to notify the measures adopted
for the preservation of the public health, io,es no time in mak-
ing them known to all whom it may concern, by the following
translation :

" ' The Imperial Government of Ru,sia has• been informed
that part of the crew of the Swedisi► brig Fortune, Captain
Backling, have died from the effect of the plague, which has
manifested itself there.'

" In consequence of that information, the Minister of the
Home Department has taken necessary measures, in order that
the most rigorous precaution should be observed, not only in
regard to the said Swedish vessel, but o-d o with all vessels in
general that may arrive into the ports or harbours of Russia,
from Egypt: such vessels will no otherwise be admitted, but
on exhibiting the clear and unquestionable evidence of their
having performed a full quarantine of purification at Christian-
sand, or at Ker.soe; and that all and every communication
with such vessels should be remote, and the questions might
to he directed them strictly in conformity with the quarantine
rules.

`• If vessels coming from Egypt should even produce the
above-mentioned evidence or documents, it is, nevertheless,
ordered not to admit them, but after their having performed the
twelve days of precaution, and after all their crews and pas-
sengers have passed the examination by the Medical officers-

SIR. F. MAC NAGIITEN.

( From the Calcutta John Bull of Feb. 28.)

The mercantile friends of the Hon. Sir F. W.
MAc NAGIITEN yesterday entertained the Learned Judge at a
splendid dinner in the Town HalL The Chair was taken by
DAVID CLARK, Esq.; and nearly one- tundred guests sat
down to a table replenished with every thing of thtbest. After
the cloth was removed, the Chairman introduced the health ur
Sir FRANCIS in the following short, but appropriate speech :
" Gentlemen,—ln the little I have to say I claim great in-
dulgence. lam totally incompetent to preface the toast 1 mean
to give you, in an adequate manner; but I know, that without
any words from me, the eminent individual we are met to bid
farewell to, will feel assured of those sentiments, of veneration
and respect for his judicial character, and of high personal re-
gard, which have prompted his commercial friends to desire
this opportunity of offering him their parting good wishes; and
in these good wishes I am sure we are joined by every one pre-
' sent, and by the whole community—l give the health of Sir
Francis Mac Naghten."
The enthusiasm with which the toast was received by' ali pre-
sent must have been highly gratifying to the Learned Judge,
who acknowledged the honour conferred on hint in a feeling
and eloquent reply, and with many well-deserved eulogittms on
the character and high respectability of the Mercantile Body.__
Ile ranked many of them, he said, among his best and dearest
friends, and he was warranted in asserting, that a more intel-
ligent, liberal, and truly excelleat a body-of merchants, did not
exist. Ile received their testimony to his -public character with
the greatest pride and satisfaction, anti should always retain a
grateful sense of their kindness. The Honourable Judge con-
chided with giving, as he said, the health of " a truly, honest
man," and a truly respeitablc body of men—" David Clark,
and the Merchants of Calcutta."

On the health of Lady MacNaghten and Family being
given, Mr. Hay MacNaghten returned thanks in a speech,
to which it would be difficult to do the justice it deserves.
It was distinguished by feeling and good sense, arts
dwelt on the stimulous to virtuous exertion in public life;
which the applause and approbation of such men as the mAr
chants of Calcutta never fail to supply. The SOR spoke of the
virtues of the father with r. warmth and a delicacy, that did
credit alike to his heart and his head, and drew forth shouts of
loud and repeated.applause. Soon after the health of Sir F.
MaeNaghten and Lady MacNaghten had been drank, that of
the Hon. John Adam was proposed, and received with a de-
gree of enthusiasm and warmth seldom witnessed even on such
convivial occasions. The compliment was acknowledged on
the part of Mr. Adam by Mr. Holt Mackenzie, who, in a
speech of considerable length, went into the private and pub-
lic virtues of Mr. Adam's life. When lie claimed as due to
Mr. Adam the reed of public applause for the integrity and 1
firmness of his measures, unbiassed by partiality, and un-
awed by popular clamour and abuse, die most thundering
echoes of approbation resounded through the hall. When
he appealed to all present, if, in his case, public virtue had
not gained a most signal victory over the misrepresents.
Lions of faction, and the malice of party-opposition, concur-
rence came from the heart of every one, in the noisy
uproar, when each strives to outdo another, in doing justice
to the man of merit and the undaunted servant of the public.
In lamenting the absence of Mr. Adam from indisposition of
the most serious kind, and the necessity which had arisen of
his leaving a society, where he will long be gratefully remem-
bered by many— respected and applauded by all Mr.
Mackenzie, as he felt, so he excited, and found the sym-
pathy of every one present. The tumult of applause was
softened into the silent look of sorrow and regret, that society
was about to lose so amiable and excellent an Individual as Mr.
Adam ; and as few were present, who had not enjoyed theplea-
sure of the Honourable Gentleman's friendship in private life,
the intensity of the feeling of regret, for the cause of hie de-
parture from India, was raised to no ordinary height. As the
state of Mr. Adams's health precluded his friends from paying
to him a similar piece of respect, as that which they were be-
stowing on Sir Francis M`Naghten, the opportunity of hie
health being drank was seised with the greater eagerness; and
we are sure the Learned Judge cheerfully shared the honours of
the day with his Hon. Friend.
A variety of appropriate toasts were drank, a number of ex-
cellent speeches, of course, were delivered, which however, as
they were not intended to figure in a newspaper, we shall not
drag beyond the walls of the Town Hall. The party did not
break up till three in the morning.

ments have been officially announced :

The Brussels Oracle, of the 10th inst., says—
An immense crowd is constantly visiting the
grand Expose', of the Works of Art and Industry,
now exhibiting in the city of Haarlem. It is,
indeed, a proud sight for all who are genuine
patriots and friends to national prosperity• On
the 4th instant, the several individuals who as-
sisted at the opening ceremony were invited to
a grand entertainment given on the occasion by
the Regency at the Town-house. In the evening
the musicians of the 9th and 10th Divisions of
Cuirassiers played alternately choice pieces of
music in the Grand-square ; the orchestra was
very tastefully illuminated.
On the 18th of June, a man named PETER.
Tucu A N died at Posen, in the 29th of year of his
age, of dropsy in the chest. Ile %vas a native of
Tula, and remarkable for his gigantic stature.
He measured eight feet seven inches in height,
so that the head of the tallest men hardly readi-
ed his breast. It is remarkable that he had no
beard, that his voice was soft, and his feet weak ;
he was a very moderate eater, and it is said he
was seven years' old before he began to grow in
such an extraordinary manner. His stature con-
tinued to increase, and it appears that he continu-
ed growing to his death.—(German Paper.)
