IAT ERA Rl' NOTICE.

FAMILIAR TREATISE on ASTRONOMY, explain-
n}; the Gener'al Phenomena of the Celestial Bodies.—])y
JOSEPH Asrix.—Written expressly to accompany U8.A...
NSA'S MIRROR, or a View of the 'Heavens; consisting of
thirty-two cards, on which are represented all the constella-
tions visible in the .British .Empire.; on a plan perfectly ori-
ginal.—Designed by a-Lady.

Though we instinctively feel when we behold
44 The Glorious Firmament on high," that " it
is a Godlike attribute to know," yet, even in
this. enlightened age, but a very limited number
are dlile fully to enjoy the magnificent sight af-
forded by a star-light evening. There have
hitherto been peculiar obstacles in the way of the
student of Astronomy. All languages, and most
other sciences, may be learned " every day, and
all the day," but when a favourable evening far
the study of the Stars occurs, we have but sel-
dom-a, learned friend at band to point them out,
and books, and even a celestial globe, are scarcely
sufficient. • Few persons possess patience and per-
severance enough to learn the Stars by -first rec-
tifying the celestial sphere, and then looking
alternately at the globe and the sky, if they.
have. not the assistance of some person able
to confirm or correct their ideas, but by
means of the
,now invention, called Urania's
Mirror, and the judicious and familiar Treatise
on Astronomy, written expressly to accompany
it, the loom ledge of time Twelve Signs of the
Zodiac, and all the other Constellations visible
in Great Britain, May be acquired with ease by
persons of all ages, without any other assistance
than a Celestial Globe, which will now only re-
quite an occasional and momentary glance, while
without the cards, •called Urania's Mirror, the
Imassisted-student must pore over the Globe .with
,imibt, fatigue, and frequently with impatience,
it not with disgust. The infirm and convalescent
lt,ty now also amuse themselves most:agreeably,
confined to their chambers, • if they can but
have 0 glimpse of the sky. The Treatise itself
contains many interesting notices on the. progress
of• A st ronomy, and of the Professors of the Science
from the earliest periods. The cards represent
a pleasing personification of the different Constel-
lations. On' the whole, this is a beautiful and
instructive work, particularly calculated for the
ising generation.

JOHNSON V. ruLuutooK.

Mr. CHITTY stated the case.—This was en
action, brought by the plaintiff, the well-known
Captain Johnson, to recover from the defen-
dant the sum of 250/., on a bill of exchange,
payable six weeks after date, drawn by the
.defendant on his brother John and accepted
by him. It appeared from the testimony ad-
duced, that there had been various transac-
tions between the parties. On the part of
the defence it was contended, first, that the
bill in question was to have been discounted
at ten per cent. interest, which was usurious ;
and, secondly, that the plaintiff had no claim
whatever on the defendant, as the bill now sued
for had been paid by the renewal of other bill
transactions.—The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE recapi-
tulated the whole of the evidence to the Jury,
who retired for ten minutes, and on their return
they found a verdict-for the defendant.

BOW-STREET.—(TuIS DAY.)
Two gentlemen, dressed in the height of
fashion, were charged with riot in the street
and assault, by two watchmen. They were
ordered by Mr. MINSIIULL, the Magistrate, to
find bail ; but soon after they had left the
Office, one of the watchmen returned, and
expressed his willingness to withdraw the
charge, as the gentlemen had settled with
him. The Worthy Magistrates, in terms of

indignation, reprimanded the Watchman, and
said, that suffering such compromises to take
place was not only evading justice, but. opening a
breach to encourage imposition, and, in the course
of time no respectable individuals could walk
through the street with safety, as the watch-
man would take them into custody to make
money of them. The worthy Magistrate would
not consent to any reward to the watchman.—
Mr. George Kent, a gentleman well knovin
in the sporting world, was ordered to find bail
for an assault.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.

Kingston House has not been deficient_ in traits of liberality
this season. The Noble Earl and Countess of Ennismore have
displayed their usual liberality.
Report speaks highly of the festive meetings at Hasrleiwbeoroa:
Hall, in Yorkshire. The Noble Earl and his Countess keep
open house in a style of old English hospitality.
The Duke of Bedford has won much on the affections of his
tenantry in Bedfordshire, by some new arrangements, as
as they are expedient.
Although all descriptions mourn the absence of the Duke of
Devonshire, yet, as to the display of hospitality, the scene is
kept up at Chatsworth, Chiswick, and Hardwicke, the same as
if his Grace were present.

on the FETE AT PETWORTII. -
A Ball and Supper, of a very peculiar description indeed,
will be given by the Earl of Egremont, at his noble seat in
27th instant. To this Fete will be invited all

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 5.
The boisterous state of the wind last week kept the supplies
back, so that the quantities were very small. This morning the
fresh supplies of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease, from
Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, do not equal the expectations of
our buyers; and there arc but few Oats in from the North.--
The top price of Flour is at length established at 60s. per sack,
and our millers in consquence thereofpurchased very freely to-day,
and Wheat is advanced full 2s. per qr. ; on the currency of last
Monday, Is. per qr. Beans and Grey Pease arc each Is. per qr.

THE ARMY.

It is now understood that a proposition will be
submitted to Parliament at the commencement of the next Ses-
sion, to sanction a levy of four or five additional regiments of
the line; and the increased demands for the Colonies will
doubtless ensure the compliance of the Legislature. It is un-
derstood that like the 94th and 95th regiments, they will be
officered entirely from the half-pay, and the officers will be
allowed rank according to their seniority.—(Britirk Monitor,
Jan. 4, 1824.)

SECOND EDITION.

DEFEAT OF THE ASHANTEES.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 29, 1824.

Arrived his Majesty's frigate Thetis, of 46
guns, Sir JohIN PHILLIMORE, lint., with dis-
patches from Cape Coast Castle, announcing that
the Ashantees were totally defeated in an action
which took place on the 11th of July, between
their force, commanded by the KING in person,
and British allied force under the command of
Lieut.-Col. SUTHERLAND, in which our force sus.
tained a loss of abont 500 men in killed and
wounded, principally of the Fantee force. Capt.
-- was the only officer killed. The amount of
the loss of the Ashantees is not known. Their
force was estimated at about 15,000 men. We had
opportunity, in this battle, of the use of field
pieces, from which were fired grape and canister
shot, which caused great havoc among die ene-
my, and so much surprised them, that they
showed no dispositiOn whatever to renew the
battle. They came down with a determined in-
tention to take the Castle. The battle was fought
about three quarters of a mile from the shore.
Parties of marines and seamen were landed from
the Thetis to aid in the contest. When the The-
tis left Cape Coast, on the 2Nd ofJuly, nothing had
been heard or seen of the enemy since the battle,
although parties had been sent out in search of
them. It was therefore supposed that they had
given up the contest, and had retired to their own
country. Colonel SUTHERLAND came home in the
Thetis.

HYDE PARK.
We are happy to find that the necessary protection to the
Statue of Achilles is about to be afforded by the erection of a
strong square iron-railing, the preparations for which have
already commenced. The inscription, which has been so bar-
barously effaced, will of course be restored to the pedestal. In
other parts of the Yark,•near the Serpentine River, considerable
improvements are also about to take place.

INDIA.

Mn..EDITOII,—Your attention to Indian Affairs has given
much satisfaction to the Asiatics in this quarter ; but as
the Papers recently printed by the order of the Proprietors
of India Stock are not to be met with in a of the Reading-
A raom.s in this City, and. as we to t knofioatt the volume
,coutratt*shall be obligitr to your. Correspondents to
iiimrresita;tirougti tit ‘Ailiii o urn. Paper, whAther i:
includes—The Papers and Correspondence respecting the af-
fair
with Colonel BAY LEY at Lucknow—The visit to Outle and '
the resignation of Mr. YOUNG—The transactions with a certain
Banking House at Calcutta—And the whole of the Papers and
Correspondence between the la te G overmor- G eneral and the Cour:
1 of Directors respecting the Booty taken in the late Maltratta
War.—The production of these papers is necessary to enable
the Public to appreciate the claim of the late Governor-General
to a r urn' rt u It remuneration from the Proprietors of India Stock,
in addition to the 60,000/. that he has already received from them.
The illarquis of Cott/maws and the'Marquis WELLES-
LEY, whose claims on'the Company far exceeded those of the
Marquis of Hasxmas, only received pensions ; and had they
died immediately after they were granted, their families would
not have been benefitted by the liberality of the Court ; but in
the other instance the family of Lord HASTINGS had settled on
them immediately the 80,0001., and his Lordship's death would
not have deprived them of it. I shall probably address you
again on this subject.

TITS DINNER.

The party proceeded to the Crown Inn, Rochester, where a
very handsome dinner (two guinea tickets) was provided, to
which the company~ to the amount of upwards of 100 persons,
sat down soon after 5 o'clock. As proof of the excellence of the
dinner, it may be mentioned, that besides the usual wines,
there were Burgundy, Champagne, Claret, &c., and there was
a delightful dessert. R. Sutton, Esq., was in the chair. On
his right was Sir G. Iloste, in his regimentals ;' and on his left
was Sir C. Flower. There were several Naval and Military
Officers in their uniform present, and they were seated at the
upper. table.
The cloth having been' removed, three professional singers
residing in Rochester performed Non Nubis
The toasts of ' The King-L-The Duke of fork, and the rest
of the Royal Family—and The Duke of Clarence and the
Navy."
Sir C. FLOWER. then rase, and gave the health of their
worthy Chairman. Ile would not pronounce that Gentleman's
praises—what they had that day seen was his best eulogium.—
(Loud applause.)—But fur him the 'work was not likely ever
to have been completed. Ile, therefore gave " the health of
their worthy Chairman, Mr. SuttOn."—(Applause.)
Mr. SUTTON. returned his acknowledgments ; and he after-
wards spoke of the magnitude of the work which had been ac-
complished. There had been united two of the most valuable
rivers in the kingdom, and two of the richest rivers of the world,
and the importance of .the work, he thought, could not well
be too highly appreciated. The value of the works they all
could unilerstand. If any person's property or comforts had
been disturbed, it was a subject of lamentation ; and he could
state that, if ample remuneration had not already been made,
the Company would.be happy to make the 'completest com-
pensation. trusted that the great work, besides being of
use to the commerce of the country, would be of particular
value to the ancient city of Rochester; and he trusted that the
time was not far distant when the port of Rochester would be
declared a free port--(appliuse)—and that it might have ware-
houses for the bonding of goods.—(llear, hear!)—The result,
he trusted, would be prosperous ; and he could assure them
with great truth, when he contemplated the immense work that
had been accomplished, he considered that the happiest day of
his life.,-(Loud applause.)
Several other toasts followed, and amongst the vocal per-
formances was " The Meeting of the %Voters. ' .tit ten o'clock
the company separated. •
After the procession the workmen, to the amount of be-
tween two and three hundred, had a dinner at the Canal
Tavern, &c.

RUENOS AYRES.

The Government has rrnt to the Chamber of
'-'Representatives die fullo%ing Note and Project
.-or Law :--

ItitENON.AYRTM, OCT. 8, 1824.
" The provinces of the Rio tie la Plata have already the
glo,y of having abolished :he African slave-trade by a special
,law, and having thus prevented the country from having to
•-blush for the sacrifice of new victims. They may also boast of
having laid in the interior, solid foundations for the general
emancipation of the slaves; hut the Government of Buenos
_Ayres considers that the sanction of the annexed project of
law is indispensable to complete this great work, due to the
ter hition, The Government believs ;tself to he supported
by the decided opinion of each representative, and this induce*
-it to hope that the sanction of the law which it proposes will
'be due to the fourth Legislature.
"'The Government respectfully solutes the honourable re-
. preventatives.

:3. , The African slave trade is declared to be piracy.
2. Those citizens of Buenos Ayres, who after the politica,
,tion of this law shall engage in the slave.trade, shall be pu-
,ni%heti as pirates.
BUENOS.AVUZS, OCT. 20.
The Chile mail, which arrived on Monday, brings no-recent
information respecting the operations of the Liberating army
against that of Cantarac, because no vessel 'had arrived after
that which brought the news of the defeat of the enerny's.ca-
-Ira try ; and though there are in this city two letters dated from
Santiago de Chile, which affirm, that at the time of the sailing
of the abovc.mentioned vessel, a communication was made by
a messenger who followed it, that news had just been received
from Truxillo of a second defeat. Sustained by the enemy's
army, we however think it prudent to suspend our opinion till
we receive more positive information.
The mail from Salta, which arrived here on the 13th, brought
news of the entire evacuation of Upper Peru by the Constitutional
General Valdez, and consequently of the triumph of the Royalist
- General Olaneta in his pretensions to the command of the pro-
vinces from Potosi to the Desaquadero. it was pretty certainly
known, that the precipitate retreat of Valdez was caused by po-
-sitive and repeated orders of La Serna, grounded on the immi-
nent danger in .which he and Cantarac were of being over-
powered by the great force of General Bolivar, and the advan-
- lages gained by him over the Royal army. Valdez left Potosi
at the beginning of September, having first sent a communica-
tion to Olaneta, in which he permits him to occupy the said
provinces, and snakes him responsible to King Ferdinand, in
..case he does not preserve them against the power of the Ame.
• rican Governments, which he calls insurgents. (Mamma en-
tered Potosi onzthe filth of September, with a force considerably
reduced.
