SMALL WOOD'S 111,4 GA ZINE.

This is a new periodical, and-if we may form a
judgment from a first number,. we should be
disposed to augur favourably of as success. The
aiticles are numerous, both prose and verse, and
they are just of sufficient length to amuse, without
wt.ary ing, the reader. One of them, a poem,
under the familiar title of " Blind Man's Buff," is
iTritten in the terse, laughing manner of Lord
13yron's " Beppo." It professes to be a story of
the carnival of Madrid in the year 1834, and sets
out—to use one of Froissart's favourite phrases—
on the grand pas. " The Morning Governess" is
a sketch quite as good as one on the same subject
%vhich appeared, if we remember rightly, in the
Heads of the People."

ASIATIC JOURNAL.
The whole of this number, which is a " supple •
went," is made up of a copious olituary, and cf
Asiatic matters of intelligence. Of course, there-
fore, it furnishes no room for comment.

BRITISH MAGAZINE.
A Nlontlily Register of religious and ecclesias-
!ical infortnation, carefully got up, and intended
chiefly for clerical people.

FREEMASON'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
Here is another new monthly periodical, Exclu•
sively dedicated to a report of the proceedings that
havu taken place in the various Lodges of the
Vozemasons during the month that has just tenni-
;iated.

The dumb of John Hall, Esq., of Portslade,
took place, atter an illness of same seeks, in Brighton, on
Tuesday last. Mr. Hall was in his 791-1 year, and was
setliur partner of the Brighton Union Bank, a Magistrate
fir the eastern division of the county acting on the Bench,
and Treasurer to the Sus,Lex County Hospital.

CANTERBURY ELECTION.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT
ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CANTER'
BURY.
Gentlemen,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of *
Requisition signed by 21,0 of the most influential and re-
spectdbla Members of the Liberal party in Canterbury, TO' I,
questing me to alter my determination of retiring from yoUr
Represention.

For this mcst flattering testimonial, I beg those friend"
who have been kind enough to sign it, to believe that I ins
deeply and sincerely grateful to them, and I trust that I teal
through life retain their esteem and goodwill.
But, Gentlemen, though highly flattered by this requi'
sition, I feel imperatively called upon to decline acceding
to it, as my medical advisers have distinctly told me, OAS
attendance to my Parliamentary duties would foster the
seeds of a complaint which would certainly prove fatal tcs
me ; whilst retirement from public life would, in all hutna°
probability, restore me to health and strength : under the"'
circumstances, after ma ture deliberation, I have made or
my mind that it is a duty which I owe to my family and tar
self, to retire from Parliament, and lam the more cow
firmed in this determination, from being confident WI
though many kind friends, and indeed all who have signed
this requisition, would overlook some apparent neglect o'
public duty, yet there might be others who would Lout•
mur, and consider that my place ought to be more effici;
ently filled

I cannot omit this opportunity of requesting my friends►
and indeed Reformers of every class, to unite upon this
occasion, and, merging all minor differences, endeavour to
secure the return to Parliftmen: of a gentleman of LiVast
and independent principles.
With every sentiment of respect, I have the honour tO
remain, Gentlemen, your most obliged and grateful soP
vent, ALBERT D. CONYNG:HAM.

NEW GRANADA.

We have received the Venezuela Gazette and other
Caraccas Papers to the 18th of November, which contain
some articles relative to the state of the neighbouring re-
public of New Granada. The extent of the insurrection
is not explained, but it appears that so late as the Ist of
November it still was not suppressed.
A letter had been received at Puerto Cabello, said to be
from the Governor of Curacoa, the contents of which are
thus stated:—

" New Granada is again in complete disorder. A ves-
sel has arrived from Rio theta, bringing intelligence that
Santa Martha, Savanilla. Barranquilla, and other towns,
have constituted themselves Federal States, under the title
of Maratnares.

" On the 18th of October a Commissioner was sent by
the izsurgents to Rio liacha to persuade the Governor of
that city to declare against the Government of Bogota'
which, however, did not then succeed."

The Liberal of the 17th of November, the latest date
wo I ave received, says—
" We have received a letter from Puerto Cabello, which
states that the Pronunciomento of Carthagena as a federal
state, by which General Marino is inveced with the com-
mand, has been printed at Curacoa. It appears to us
that this news requires confirmation."

The Venezuela Gazette states, that Colonel Malagarejo
remained at the head of an imposing force in Arauca, and
the Padre Quintero already mentioned, who is curate of
Arauca, had been taken prisoner; his companion, the
one eyed gentleman, also mentioned before, had fled to
Apure, wishing to take refuge in the territory of Venezuela.
But, whatever the extent of the insurrection may be, it
i; evident that the Government of Venezuela, thinks it
sufficiently formidable to render it necessary to take mea-
sures for preserving the tranquility of that republic. This
appears from the two following articles, which we find in
the official part of the Gazette:—
PROCLAMATION.
"JOSE ANTONIG PAEZ, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
VENEZUELA, &C.

Venezuelans,—The Republic of New Greneda, our
friend and neighbour, is now suffering from the conse-
quences of lamentable dissensions. Her internil peace
has been disturbed. The Government deplores those oc-
cur;onees, and knows that Venezuelans are not indiffrent
to the misfortunes of their brethren. Such sentiments do
honour to the people ove.r whom I have the good fortune
to preside.
.. Vent zuela has, ho.vever, nothing to fear from the
events ..shich agitate New Grantda. The Granadins will
not disturb our tranquillity. They well know, being just
themselves, how to appreciate the state of our relations,
and ihe rvcossity of maintaining them. Yet, notwith-
st3i.ding, as the adjoining territory is convulsed, it is the
duty of the Government to resert to precautionary inca-
iUrCS.

Caraccas, Nov. 11, 1840 II th year of the law, and
30th of ia•Fpcndcncc."

Jones, and Williams.
There was a large posse of police in readiness, should
their services be required during the day ; and a good
many of them were recognised dressed in plain clothes
amongst the crowd. There was nothing, however, to Jus-
tit) the extensive preparations made by the Government
Commissioner, who has bad little to do beyond the catch-
ing of a pickpocket during the last twelve months, and
who, doubtless, locked forward with not a little anxiety
for an opportunity of displaying his zeal and the utility of
the force.
The meeting consis:cd of about one thousand persons.
men, women, and children, and they conducted thorn-
selves well throughout the day,

Sir F. Smith and Professor Barlow, the Com-
missioners appointed by Government to examine the com.
peting linos from Lancaster to Carlisle, Glasgow, and
Edinburgh, have made their report; This report settles
the question as to the line to be adopted from Lancaster to
Carlisle.

THUNDER-STORM.--A terrific thunder-storm passed
over London yesterday morning. The first peal took
place about seven, and probably roused from their sleep
one-half of the inhabitants of the metropolis. It was
accompanied by violent wind and sleet, with vivid light-
ning of every variety of colour. The storm was altoge-
ther different from those which occur in summer. Tile
thunder appeared to come from every quarter of the
heavens, and although it followed almost instantaneously
the lightning, with the exception of the first peal, it ap-
peared to be at a great distance. The darkness was
excessive, and, what with the stillness of a Sunday morn-
ing morning, the unusual flashes of lightning at this see-
son, and the sleet and hailstones with which the storm
was acompanied, the effect was most impressive. It
did not last above a quarter of an hour, and we are
happy to state that we have heard of no fatal accidents
from it. The barometer fell in the course of the night
about six-tenths of an inch, and stood at eight in the
morning at •?.9.:34. The storm appeared to come from
the north-west, and when morning broke on the metro-
polis all the streets and houses were covered with snow.
The wind afterwards changed to south-west, a partial
thaw followed, with a fiee clear atmosphere, and towards
midnight the weather became beautifully serene, the
moon and stars shining out in all their splendour.

DUBLIN UNIVERSI7'Y MAGAZINE.

The " Portrait Gallery " for this month—an
ilea which the Dublin University Magazine has
adopted from Fraser—contains a whole-length por-
trait of Mr. Carlton, one of tho most popular wri-
ters of the day, of Irish fictions. A memoir is
affixed to the portrait of this gentleman, whose
abilities are panei.,=yrized in warm terms ; but, as
we have but an imperfect acquaintance with his
works, we cannot undertake to eay whether or not
the estimate formed of him is a judicious one. To
our thinking Miss Edgeworth and Banim arc by
far the best Irish novelists that have yet come be-
the world, for they draw out national peculiarities
more fully than any of their successors. " Ro-
mantic and Lyric Poetry of Spain " is a slight
essay on a theme that has always—and no wonder
—been a favourite with periodical writers. Seve-
ral specimens of translation are introduced in the
course of this essay, one of which, " The Ro-
mance of the Count Alarcos," has at least the
1i1,21 it of spirited versification. " Charles O'Mal-
ley, the Irish Diagoon," contributes some more
chapters of his personal reminiscences. There is
a dashing, off-hand manner about this writer, that
makes his various sketches very pleasant reading-.

There has been a good deal of conversation respecting the

other case has come out of a house in the City
having been defrauded by a foreigner to a large amount, he
having obtained from them Bank of England and Bank of
Ireland notes under false representations. The delinquent is
publicly advertised. In Vienna parties of some consideration
are said to be implicated in certain forgeries, discovered at

SPORTING.

Sir John Cope's hounds met on the Ist instant, at
Risley Mill, on the Duke of Wellington's estate, and
were honoured by the presence of his Grace. In the
first cover they found a gallant fox, who went off nearly
in a straight line to Silchester-walls, thence towards the
forest, and back again, leaving Silchester to the left, and
thence on to Mortimer-common, where Reynard escaped
through several other foxes being started. We are
happy to state that the Duke of Wellington continued
with the hounds to Mortimer-common, and although it
rained hard the.whole time, appeared .highly delighted
with the sport.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1841.

We have given at great length, but not greater
than the importance of the subject warrants, a
report of the proceedings which took place at the
great Conference of Manufacturers held at Derby
yesterday. The meeting lasted for five hours, and
during that period the gentlemen deputed from
numerous towns in the Midland districts ad_
duced well attested facts, showing the ruinous
influence of the Corn-laws' on the manufac-
turers, shopkeepers, and operatives. These
facts no arguments can gainsay. The distress
has not been brought on by over-trading, or by
the introduction of improved machinery, or
by wild speculation. No. It is the irre-
sistible result of a system which has for years
been undermining the trade and commerce of the
United Kingdom, and raising up successful com-
petitors with our merchants in every market in the I
four quarters of the globe. Owing to this competi-
tion, and the high price of food, all kinds of ma-
nufactures in the Midland districts have been de-
clining for years, the spirit of even cautious spe-
culation in trade is checked, and unless some
relief be brought, and that speedily, the country
will be involved in one general ruin. Sir RO-
BERT PEEL, who, no doubt, has heard the
result of the meeting, is to attend a Privy
Council this day at Windsor, for the pur-
pose of fixing the period for the assem-
bling of Parliament, and will be able therefore
to communicate to his Sovereign the cause of the
general distress, and point out the urgent neces-
sity for taking immediate steps to meet
the fearful crisis that hangs over the country.
No half measures now will do. If the Prime
Minister does not listen to the general voice
of the manufacturing and commercial population,
he will, before Parliament has been assembled
two months, find more formidable opponents
than IlicilmoND and BucKfrionAm, and all the
representatives of the landed interest united.
For want of space we must, in the mean time,
only refer our readers to this great meeting,
which forms such a remarkable feature at the
present moment.

The Earl of RODEN has written a pamphlet
entitled " Observations on Lord ALVANLEY'S
Pamphlet, &c."* in which the Noble EARL
combats the Noble Lord's recommendation for
the State to take the Catholic priests of Ireland
into its pay. Somewhat to our astonishment, we
find ourselves agreeing on one important point
with the Earl of RODEN. In noticing Lord AL-
VANLEY'S pamphlet, we observed on Oct. 20th,
in speaking of paying the present race of priests,
" A new set of priests, more zealous than the sti-
pendiaries, paid by voluntary contributions,
would soon supply the place of those who had
been bought over, and would harrass the State
like the present race. The paid priesthood would
in'turn see their salaries and influence threatened,
and love of worldly pelf would strengthen their
desire for spiritual dominion. As in the case of the
clergy of the Church of England, avarice would

THEATRICAL.

The renters of firitiytane Theatre.held a meeting on
Wednesday,when it wasstated that the ium of 1,4071.105.9 d.
had been secured by the trustees for the renters, whereby
they were enabled to declare a dividend of 51., exclusive
of the 1/. subscribed by them for the expenses.
Martin's comedy of A Cure for the Heartache was per-
formed on Wednesday at the Haymarket, for the benefit
of Mr. Archer, box book-keeper.

The preparations for opening Drury-lane Theatre are
proceeding rapidly, and the pit will hold two hundred
people more than hitherto. The opening play will be
the Merchant of Venice, Mr. Macready taking the part
of Shylock.
On Wednesday the principal attraction of the English
Opera House performances was a Grand Fantasia of
Thalberg's, which was played in a brilliant style by Miss
Bishop.

•" Displays much talent, like all the author's works. The
story is interesting, the changes of sceue: many and diversified,
the characters skilfully drawn, and the adventures as varieuo,
as the life of one engaged in continual struggles. In turn tt,ey
are tragical and amusing, and altogether we think the Poacher
