A commercial letter, dated Madrid, the s:h

Figueira on his way home, the delicate state of his health
having induced him to quit Portugal.—Morning Post.

land, is at present engaged in the investigation of serious
charges against the postmaster of Athlone. Two of the
charges are for opening letters, and commnnicating their

TITHE PROCESSES.— We understand that

Exchequer Proceses have been issued against the Oyster.
Fishermen at the Mumbles, near this town, at the suit of
Colonel and Mrs. Perrott, to enforce the payment of tithes
upon oysters. The poor fishermen, from the recent origin
of this impost, as well as from its obnoxious nature, have
always considered it a most grievous.tsx upon the Iruit o:
their perilous toil ,and labour, and frequently, heretofore,
has the engine of the Jaw been employed to exact the
compliance of defaulters.— Cau.brian.
New South Wales Papers received to-day to
the Sd of May, state that the settlements on the mountains
are advancing in importance; upwards of one hundred
tracts of unoccupied land had been taken up by the emi-
grants arrived during last year. Trading establishments
had been transferred from Sydney to Paramatia, which
had tended materially to improve that place. Several
hundreds of the aborigines of New South \Vales were on
their way from the interior, to be present at a grand enter-
tainment that was about Li be given at Sydney.
At length there appear some symptoms of
the long proj cted street in the Strand, in a line with
Waterloo-bridge, being absut to be commenced in reality;
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests having announced
for sale this week, by auction, the building materials of
the old office of the Courier newspaper, and the house on
either side of it, together with the houses in the rear in
Exeter-street. The modern lonic portico of the defunct
Lyceum will 1a.2 included in the work of demolition A
number of small tenements in White Horse-court, which

COTTON OF THE NEW CROP.—We stated,
a fortnight ago, that the cotton crop in the United Sates
was very promising, and that it would, in all probability,
be sent early to market. We can now state, on the au-
thority of our correspondent, that a small lot of the new
crop bad actually arrived at New York. Of course the
accounts from Liverpool, bringing advises of the great rise
in the price in this market, would induce holders in the
States generally to hurry forward their shipments. We
may add, that the bulk of the crop still on hand was at
New York, and that it was not large.—Liverpool Albion.
Captain M‘Leod, of the Ardincaple steamer,
was washed ashore on Monday at Batnborough Castle,
without his greatcoat or jacket, which he had disentangled
himself from in the water, and being an etc llent swimmer,
had nearly reached the shore, when the breakers terminated
his efforts. The people on shore witnessed his exertions,
and dragged his body from the water the moment it came
within reach, and the warmth of life not being quite ex-
tinguished, means were used to restore animation, but un-
happily without effect. Captain M'Leod was well known
and highly respected in his situation. He has left a
widow and eight children to lament his loss.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.—It is said to be
one of the " Rules of the road," that when a Noble Lord
chances to travel by the mail, he is to Dry double tips to
the coachman and guard. Not very —ug since the Eat!
of B. was on his way to the north of England by one of
these conveyancei, and having, in common with two
fellow passengers, given the guard his half-crown, that
functionary, who had by some accident discovered his
Lordship's rank, turned the coin over two or three times
in so significant a way that the Earl asked if he was dis-
satisfied ? "No, my Lord—not dissatisfied, but (touching
his hat) you know, my Lord, this here's a breach of
privilege."

CURIOUS FACT.---CUI a couple of cards
each into a circle of about two inches in diameter. Per-
forate one of these at the centre, and fix it on the top of a
tube, say a common quill. Make the other card ever so
little concave, and place it over the first, the orifice of
the tube being thud directly under, and almost in contact
with the upper card. Try to blow off the upper card.
You will fiud it impossible. We understand that the
cause that counteracts the effects at first expected at this
singuiar phenomenon has lately puzzled all the members
of the Royal Society. A medal and a hundred guineas
are said to be the reward of the successful discoverer.
We recommend the ingenious reader to find it out.—

A letter from Santiago, in Chili, of the 16th
May, says--" A violent earthquake took place on the
25th of April, about half-past 10 in the morning, at
Huasco (or Juasco), a maritime town of the province of
Coquimbo, and a place of some importance, in conse-
quence of the mines in its neighbourhood. According to
the reports received here, a great number of the houses
had been thrown down, and the others left in a dangerous
state. The church was considerably damaged; some
later letters, indeed, state that a second shock bad com-
pletely destroyed it. It is supposed that this terrible
phenomenon bad been attended with not less serious con.
sequences at. Copiapo, another town of the same province,
situated about two degrees northward of Huasco, and
which is also the centre of great mining operations.
The Cesarean operation was successfully per-
formed upon a hare on Tuesday last, by a gentleman a
few miles from Chelmsford. A hare got up before his
greyhounds, which ran but a short distance, and was
pulled down, but so near as to enable our informant to
prevent the dogs from rending it. Observing that it was
a doe, and apparently full of young, great care was ob-
served in making the required incision, when, to his as-
tonishment, be found the unusual number of four young
cries, which the mother must, in a few hours, have given
birth to. They were placed securely from the cold, and
shortly after were offered some milts in a sponge, which
they took very readily by sucking it. They were all living
on Friday last, with every prospect of being reared iu the
manner related.—Essex Herald.

On Tuesday evening last a public meeting,
called by the Rev. T. T. Crybbace, was held in the
Music Hall, Blackett.street, Newcastle, to take into
consideration the subject of Church Reform, when a scene
of uproar equalling, or perhaps exceeding, what occurred
in this city and at Sunderland on similar occasions, took
place. Mr. Crybbace's proposition to exclude from the
Church Reform Union all persons professing the Roman
Catholic religion, Unitarianism, &c., was the cause of the
disturbance. The Rev. Mr. Goyder moved an amendment,
that the Society should embrace all denominations of
professing Christians; and this being seconded by the Rev.
E. D. Rendill, was put to the •ote. One party declared
the amendment to be carried, and the other insisted that

it was lost. A cry was then made from all parts of the
room for the Chairman (the Rev. Mr. Graham) to read
the resolution and amendment again ; but this was
objected to by Mr. Crybbace, and the meeting broke
up in a state of uproar surpassing description.--Durham
Advertiser.

VENILE VAGRANTS.—By the ship Bolton, about to leave

Somerset, commandant of tbat district, making 140
