HANS HAMILTON, Esq. M.P.—We are rejoiced
to state, that our respected County Representative, Mr. HANS
HAMILTON, whose death has been announced in the Morning
Papers of this day, has not retired from this sublunary scene.
One of our contemporaries had already bestowed the parlia-
mentary vacancy, supposed to be thus created, upon Colonel
WHITE another conferred it upon Lord ARDEE.—Mr.
HAMILTON, who has been seriously indisposed, is to-day
(Saturday, Nov. 9) somewhat better.--(Dublin Patriot.)

The new Quakers' Meeting-house, in Castle-
square, Southampton, is finished, and the Catholic Meeting is

contrived, that it can, without difficulty, be enlarged or dimi-
nished.

and a porpoise, were last week. taken together in

hay been forwarded as a present to his MA-

to-morrow, to receive sentence.—Mrs. 'WRIGHT
has prepared about 70 pages of manuscript to
read in Court, stating why the Judges should not
pass sentence upon her.

EFFECT OF PIRACIES:—GLASGOW, Nov. 9.—
In consequence of the depredations of the pirates in the
West Indies, premiums of twelve guineas per cent. were
yesterday given in our Underwriters' rooms on Colonial
produce from Jamaica—a rate exceeding the highest paid,
when the world East, and West, were arrayed in arms
against us. It does seem strange, that while the seas are
covered with these pirates, none of our ships of war fall in
with any of them. The men of war on the Jamaica station ap-
iear to be wholly employed in carrying specie belonging to
/merchants' from one port to another.—( Glasgow Courier.)
A Lady residing in Cupar, lately received
from a friend in the parish of Balmerino a quantity of hen's
eggs, among which there was one of more than ordinary size.
It was boiled and opened, and found to contain, besides its
proper contents, a second egg, covered with a shell, well-
shaped, solid, and natural. The Lady retains it as a curiosity.
CANTERBURY, Nov. 12.—Tuesday, the Mem-
bers of the' Historical and Philosophical Society
held their meeting to Commemorate the Fifty-third
Anniversary of the Formation of the Society, at
the Guildhall Tavern in this city. It has been
the custom for the Members to have a dinner on
the occasion, but in this instance, it was dis-
pensed with ; the chair, however, was taken,
and many toasts were given—among them were
the healths of the County and City Mem-
bers, who have contributed, by their pre-
sents, to enable the Society to demonstrate their
lectures by more than oral proof. Many other
healths were drank, and the company did not
separate till a late hour.

EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF ALARM IN A
HOltsE.—A gentleman,., iu the neighbourhood of
Chester, sent his servant to the Post-office on.a
clumsy sort of a horse, that had never been
known to leap before that day. It so happened
that a glazier, who had been mending some win-
dows at his house, asked the servant to let him
ride behind. No sooner was he mounted than
the horse, hearing the crate of glass rattling at
his back, started off at full speed, and coming to
the lodge-gate, which was five feet six inches
high, spiked at the top, and the ground on each
side of it paved, he cleared it all in his leap ;
and wonderful to say, neither of his riders
(although it was the glazier's first appearance on
horseback) were thrown from their seats, or re-
ceived any injury from their perilous situation.
Elizabeth Tomlinson, of Ranton, near Stafford,
has been committed to the county gaol, charged
by the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful mur-
der of her husband, Richard Tomlinson. It
would be highly improper to give any detail of the
evidence in this, melancholy case, to which we al-
luded in our last Paper. After a painful and dili-
gent examination of witnesses, which did not con-
clude until a late hoar on Monday evening, the
Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against
the wretched woman, and she was accordingly
committed on the Coroner's Warrant.--(Bir-
ming-ham Paper.)
