PAPERS.

THE HAGtE, .Nor. I.—The Board of Directors of the Ne-
therlands Commercial Society Bee been transferred to-day from
this place to Amsterdam.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange tent ttn Saturday
from Illburg to Grave, and thence to Nymegen, to Mat Het Itn,
perial Highness the Grand Duchess Helena, who was to fte.,..
that town on that day in the steam-boat, on her way up the
Rhine to Cologne. His Royal Highness returned to Tilburg on
Sunday.

The head-quarters are expected to-day at Bois-le-Duc. After
this Lieutenant-General Van Geen will have his head-quarters at
Tilburg, the Duke of Saxe Weimar at Boxtel, and Lieutenant-
General Cort Heyligers at Vigchel.
The positions which our army has taken for the defence of the
frontier, and for repelling every hostile attack, are considered t.
be excellent.

His Majesty's corvette, bound for the East Indies, sailed from
Flushing on Sa*urday.
The report that the Belgians had collected a very large force
at Turnhout is now contradicted.

Nov. learn from good authority, that it has been for
some days confidently reported in the army that a fourth division
is to be formed, which is to be stationed in Zealand, to secure
the country from any hostile attack on that side. It was affirmed
that waggons have been put in requisition for the conveyance of
the troops. Their baggage is to be sent to Goes, which, it is
therefore supposed, will be the head-quarters of this new division.
We learn from Flushing, that on Sunday morning an English
steam-boat was seen offthe last buoy a league on this side of the
Sluiss-gat, which immediately put out boats and surveyed the
coast. The military authorities at Flushing had immediately
taken some measures of precaution, and the soldiers of the gar-
rison were called out of church to replace the iron guns on the
ramparts by brass ones. It was also reported that Vice- Admiral
Gobiers had sent an officer by a steam-boat to the English vessel,
who returned in the afternoon. An officer was also sent to
General de Kock, in the fourth district, to acquaint him with
the circumstances. On Saturday an Aide-de-Camp of one of our
Princes had arrived at Flushing from Bergen-op-Zoom, who
proceeded with all speed to Dutch Flanders. On Monday the
above-mentioned steam-boat lay off Flushing.
Letters from Maestricht of Oct. SIJ say there were no Belgian
troops near that place, so that the country people brought in pro-
visions without any obstacle.
. .

In the evening of the 9-sth more rioters again planted the Bel-
gian flag on the market-place of Sittard, and broke the windows
of aM. San Alphin, who was obliged to fly to Maestricht. Since
the 9-sth the Belgians have sent many pieces of cannon from
Liege by way of Tongres to Venloo ; many Belgian troops have
also marched in that direction.

By letters from Nymegin of the Ist inst. we find that his Royal
Highness the Prince of Orange did not meet with the Grand
Duchess Helena, who arrived about two hours after the Prince
had left the town, his time being limited to nine o'clock in the
evening.
Orders have been received at Nymegin to commence imme-
diately the laying out of an entrenched camp on the south side
from fort Krayenhof to the Hunnerberg.
COLOGNE, OCT. 31.—The Grand Duchess Helena arrived
here this morning early on board the steam-boat, which con-
tinued its voyage to Bibirich, where her Imperial Highness will
pass the winter with her brother in law the Duke of Nassau,
occasionally visiting Wiesbaden.

STOCKHOLM, OCT. 18.—['he Crown Prince has been con-

Several of our Journals in reply to the statement of foreign
papers, that Sweden has refused to recognise King Leopold say,
" l'he fact is that the present Regent of Belgium has not yet
caused his accession to be notified to his Majesty, and therefore
his recognition by Sweden is out of the question."
BERLIN, Our. 26.—Besides the town of Magdeburg itself, the
cholera has manifested itself in several parts of the provinces
In all the province, including Magdeburg, there have been 266
cases, 172 deaths, 27 recoveries, remain 67.

LONGEVITY.—There are now residing in the
same house, at the hamlet of Shoreditch, near this town,
in excellent health, a family named SUMMXKHATS, whose
respective ages are as follow:--The mother, 100; the
father, 93; and their two boys aged respectively 70 and
56 years.—A marine pensioner of Stoke St. Mary, near
this town, named THOMAS DINHAM, is now arrived at the
age of 94, and is seen daily et work in bis garden. He
was at the battle of Bunker's-hill.—Taunton courier.

The Knoxville Register, an American Paper,
in advertising two runaway apprentices, and offering six
cents for their recovery, thus describes them :—" Gum. EY
is about twenty years of at,-e, shout five feet ten inches
high, fair complexion, hag rather a down-look, and pos-
sesses, without doubt, fhe seeds of villainy deep-rooted
within him. nous is about nineteen years of age, of
quite a dark complexion, five feet seven or eight inches
high, disposed to he foppish, has a high conceit of his
genius, and sometimes makes rhymes, such as they are."

At the last meeting of the Corporation of
Ludlow, T. A. KNIGHT, Esq. declined, on political
grounds, to longer continue a member of that body. He
assigned as a reason that he had become a member of the
Corporation at a time when Earl Powis was a supporter
of the Whig interest, and as a friend of that family ; and
he retired on account of the vote given by Earl Powis for
rejecting the Reform Bill.—Hereford Journal.

RICHARD PATCHING, of 17, Mount-plea-
sant, the man who discovered the head, &c. of the mur-
dered CELIA HOLLOWAY in the privy, died on Monday
evening. He also assisted in disinterring the body at
Preston, when the limbs were put together, which pro-
duced so great an effect up m him, that he then declared
"he should never get the better of it." The poor fellow
has left a wife and four small children in poverty and dis-
tress. We hope a subscrip,ion will be raised for them.—

NEW WORK ON THE PEERAGE.-IU Mr.
BURKE'S very valuable Dictionary of the Extinct, Dor-
mant, and Suspended Peerages, just published, consider-
able pains have been bestowed on the interesting object of
ascertaining, where it was possible, the living lineal de-
scendants of Nobility that have become annulled, through
whatever cause. The children of each Peer, in each g'-
neration, are individually named, with a specific account
of the connections formed by them ; and the alliance with
existing families is thus regularly traced. Among these
details there occur various cases of singular curiosity—as,
for instance, that of ANNESLEY, Earls of Anglesea, having
reference to the present Earl of MouNnioams—that of
the celebrated Cbandos Peerage—that of WHARTON,
Barons Wharton, spewing the descent to the present C.
KEMEYS TYNTE, Esq. IMP.—that of the Barony of Mar-
myon, which gave origin to the Championship of England
—that of the derivation of Mr. CoKE of Norfolk, from
COKE, Earl of Leicester—and of the present Lord Chan-
cellor, from the ancient house of Vaux.

Mr. HUME.—The Glasgow Chronicle, in
xlvocating the fitness of this gentleman to be the Lord
11,,ctor of Glasgow University, thus eulogises him :
" Mr. HUME is a scholar and a linguist of the very highest
order, and to this alone was he indebted for his first rise
in India, and but for this to the present hour Mr. HUME
might have remained in comparative obscurity. To his
other eminent qualifications of arithmetic, in itheinatics,
industry, and matchless perseverance, the students may
rely that Mr. IltimE is not only a Latin and Greek
scholar, but a first-rate proficient in the Oriental lan-
guages. Indeed, for his eminence in this respect, Mr.
Hume was selected as interpreter in a treaty with the
Persians, and to this it was th it he owed his first rise in
life. On his return from India Mr. Hums made the
grand tour of Europe, and travelled two years in Greece,
before entering on his pre-em nently use!ul career as a
Statesman He is also a man of independent fortune.
He is now the representative of the first county in tt e
world, and his history since h went to Parliaaient is to
well known as to need no panegyric."

On Saturday morning; about four o'nlock,,st tick
of barley, on a farm called.Snobk'i, in-the' occupa-
tion of Mr. William Harvey, two mild frem the
town, was discovered to be on fire-by-e-party of
the Coast Guard on duty, whnimmediately repaired
to the spot, rendering every assistance in their
power. The alarm bell having been sounded, the
town engine was instantly taken to-the spot, and
the greatest exertions made to reduce the fire, but,
unhappily, without effect. A reward of 1001. has
been offered for the Apprehension of the perpetrator
of this diabolical outrage, but, notwithstanding the
vigilance of the police, they have not hitherto dis-
covered the offenders.—Hampshirc Chronicle.
About midnight on 'Wednesday, a large rick of
clover hay, standing on the premises of Mr Young-,
of Mitchelmersh Perm, was discovered to be in a
blaze, and was totally consumed before the flames
could be extinguished : but their further progress
svgs arrested, and all communication with some ad-
jacent *beat ricks fortunately prevented. Circum-
stances which have transpired leave no doubt that it
was the act of an incendiary, for whose apprehen-
sion a liberal reward will be paid.—lbid.
On Friday the best bed-room in the house of the
Rev. Mr. Ranklin, at Brislington, near Bristol, was
discovered to be on fire. It was happily got undtr
without much injury. No doubt .remains of its
having been the act of an incendiary.
About four o'clock on Monday morning, a wheat
r.ck, the property of Mr. Miles, of Maddingtor,
near Salisbury, was set on fire by some diabolical
incendiary.—Salisbury Journal.
A rick of hay and an out-house, the property of
Mr. Lentrird, of Pattern, near Devises, were on
Wednesday night set on fire by an incendiarys and
entirely consumed.—.lltia.
We stop the Press to announce that an alarming
account has just reached us of-some incendiary fires
having taken place near Newport. A commercial
gentleman, who left that town yesterday, informs us
that at three o'clock in theatorning.liewas awakened
by an alarm of fire; and be says the inhabitants
were parading the streets the whole night. Being
of a timid dispoiition, and unacquainted with the
neighbourhood, he got up early and came off for
Monmouth, without ascertaining- the particulate. He
understood that some stacks of corn and part of*
farm-house had been burnt. He saw the reflection
of the fire, which appeared to be in the direction
of the road from Newport to Cardiff.—Monmouth-
Mire Merlin.

NEWPORT, MONMOUTH, Nov. 4.—This morn-
ing, between three and four o'clock, this town was
alarmed by the cry of " ire;" it proved to be a
rick of hay stacked in a void piece of ground, in
Lanarh-street, nearly in the centre of the town.
I'he bay was the property of Mr. Gregory, an inn-
keeper. There cannot be a doubt but it was set on
fire by the hand of an incendiary. By the prompt
exertions of the respectable inhabitants and the
firemen, in bringing out the engine, little damage
was done.

WARNING to the MAGISTRATES on the
PESTILENTIAL STATE of thc COWGATE, &e.

(From the New North Briton.)

At this moment, when all Europe is in alarm at
the devastating effects of that scourge of mankind,
the cholera morbus, and when i,s near vicinity to
our shores has induced the Government of the
country to issue more strict orders than ever to
prevent, if possible, the fatal malady reaching our
happy land, we consider it our duty to point the at-
tention of the local authorities of Edinburgh to a
nuisance which may become, if not checked in time,
the source of a pestilence equally fatal with the
dreaded cholera. It has long been matter of re-
mark, that the pauperism of this city has been for u
number of years back greatly increased by the influx
of the poorer classes of our Irish brethren. We
mean not to sneer at their poverty—which is their
misfortune, not their fault—so far from this, we have
frequently admired their industr3 and ingenuity in
the various modes they take to gain a poor bu
honest livelihood. But we fear—and greatly fear,
the consequences which may arise to the commu-
nity in general from the filthy domestic habits, and
the crowded manner in which they burrow together.
These are now becoming alarming—disease is
already engendered, and walks with horrid strides
over the quarters in which these poor people chiefly
reside. The fever wards of the Infirmary are
crowded with typhus and other patients, chiefly
Irish, affected with diseases originating in the causes
we have described. We particularly request the
attention of the magistrwes to the following facts
regarding the condition of various districts of the
town inhabited by the lower Irish. We have them
from the surgeon of the Police Establishment, and
give them in his own words:—
: " Within these few days, John Findlay, one of
the criminal officers, being in search of a thief, was
led to pry into that den of iniquity, Burke's-close,
Westport. Popping in his head into one of the lodg-
ing-houses there, he was actually overpowered and
driven back by the horrid smell which issued from
it, and returned to the office quite unwell. I went
along with him, and four lodging-houses in the close
( INVBryde's, Max well's,M‘Tomanie'r and Gouldie's).
All the beds were in a very dirty state; but
M'Tomanie's were beastly with filth and vermin.
The under flat are all swine houses ; and what with
their dung below, and the filth above, such a com-
pound of contaminated effluvia prevailed as is not to
be described. Fever was in the close—and one or
two individuals had been taken to the hospital that
day.

" In an apartment of about 20 feet squark., or lesF,
there are generally six beds, ranged round the place,
all dirty, let at a few pence per night ; and where
from 18 to 20 otherwise houseless and filthy crea-
tures are sleeping in such holes, with the sweet
•cent of half a score of swine issuing• from below,
what consequences can be looked for but disease
and pestilence? During this day (Fr;day) I visited
18 different lodging-houses, and exam.ned 166 beds
in the Cowgate, Grassrnarket, and Portsburgh, and
witnessed in them such scenes of vice, filth,
and disease, as I trust I shall never see again.—
There is hardly a close in the High Street, Cowgate,
Grassmarket, or Portsburgh, where the under cellar s
are not inhabited by pigs, fed on all sorts of gm baize,
the feeders all Irish, and living off and on, nut fre.
quently in the same apartment with their swinish
charges. Indeed, in many instances, the pigs are
found living in families four and five stories up stairs
in these closes."

Need we do more than place tkia horrible picture
before the Magistrates, in order t• induce them to
take all proper means to abate the 'nuisance, and to
prevent the spread of disease and pestilence. Have
not the police at least power to banish swine from
the city, and if these poor people will nor, or cannot,
clean their houses, ought it not to be done at the
public expense ?

On Sunday evening DAVID EDMONDS, a
farmer, was standing up in the chapel at Ctstleton, Mun-
tnouthahire, during the celebration of Divine Sery ce. A
friend looked at him, and he appearel in good heath—in
a moment afterwards he staggered, fell to the ground, and
was taken up a corpse.— Cambrian.
On Saturday morning, a fatal and melancholy
accident occurred to PATRICK HASTINGS, a young man,
between twenty and thirty years of age, residing at No.
14, Calmell-buildings, Orchard-street, Pullman-Nu:lrv.
It appears the unfortunate man was arousing himself smok-
ing a short pipe of tobacco, walking np and down the
buildings, when suddenly a young woman, an acquaintance
of his, ran against him in play, and nn'ortunately struck
the pipe which he had in his mouth, with such vio:enc-,
that it broke off at the end, and the remaining part of it
was driven down his throat. The unfortunate man ahrost
'ilveberwa;l lie lnaunfor-
tunate t
) i
immediately became insensible from the extreme agony he
endured, and he was conveyed by some friends to a sur.
extract
ti nthtehbernoekiegnh neighbourhood,
andhood, who
he recommended
sufferer to be immediately removed to the Middlesex
Hospital, where every exertion was used by Mr. SAVA NE,
the house-surgeon, and others to relieve Lim ; but all the
endeavours of the surgeons proved ineffectual, as death ter-
initiated bis dreadful. stiff rings on Saturday night. The
body lie, at the boepmil for le Cermet inquest,
