•rrIE DELUGE.

ShPin (who witnessed the whole of this stupendous scene)
also lived 150 years with Abraham and 50 years with Isaac,
and (-undoubtedly) acquainted them with all the information
which he had personally received from Lamech and Methuselah
of what had been imparted to them by Adam himself respect-
ing the Creation ; and Shem (from his own personal knowledge)
could also acquaint Abraham and Isaac of every circumstance
relating to the Deluge: therefore no record can be more roan-
terruptedly clear than the History of the Creation and the
Dehyre, as related in the Book of Genesis.

The account of the Birth, Death, Resurrection, and Ascen-
sion of Christ are as beyond dispute.

COURT OF CONSERVANCY.—This morning the
Loan MAYOR, accompanied by the Sheriffs, Aldermen Key
and Brown, Alderman Venables, the Recorder of London,
Town Clerk, City Solicitor, Alztrshalmen, &c., arrived in pro-
cession at Mr. Needham's Hotel, the foot of Westminster_
bridge, where a Jury for the Court of Conservancy was sworn
in for the purpose of inspecting the River Thames, and prevent-
ing any infringement within the City's jurisdiction, for the year
ensuing. _

THE LATE HON. MRS. DAs .—As this lady
was really an ornament of those upper circles of
life which are at all conversant with taste and
science, and as her talents were also not unknown
to the public, it is somewhat extraordinary that
her recent death has been simply recorded, and
that no tribute has been offered to her memory.
She was the sister of General CONWAY who made
a conspicuous figure in the political world during
a large part of his late Majesty's reign, and who
was one of the characters noticed by Jurnus,
not without respect. General CONWAY also
possessed respectable literary and poetical talents,
and was muell esteemed for the integrity of his
principles and the suavity of his manners. his
sister, Mrs. DAMER, was allied to him in taste
as well as by consanguinity, and resembled him
also in the mildness of her manners, with a
degree of gentle elegance that appeared,
however, to be the result of too much re-
finement for the ordinary intercourse of so-
ciety. She possessed an excellent understand-
ing, and a liberal disposition, with great know-
ledge of the world, particularly of the fashion-
able circles. Her connections were all of the
higher kind, especially among those who were
distinguished by taste for literature and the
Fine Arts. If she did not possess a lofty
genius for SCULPTURE, yet many works from her
hand displayed great merit. Her partiality for
theatrical talents induced her to make an early
bust of Mrs. SIDDONS, and her respect for high
moral qualities prompted her to enter into a warm
friendship with that great ornament of the stage,
and of private life. Mrs. DAM ER was tall and
handsome in person, and her character altogether
well-entitled her to the esteem and admiration
of all who had the pleasure of being acquainted
with her. The late Lord ORFORD, who was a
shrewd observer of human nature, and thoroughly
conversant with the-Fine Arts, left a consider-
able part of his property to Mrs. DAMER, as a
due tribute of friendship and respect for her
talents and character.
