VIENNA, JAN. 22.—There has not yet been any
sitting of the Ministerial Congress. It seems that the
Ministry will first wait for the answer of their respective
Courts to their communications ; after that, the confe-
rences will doubtless proceed rapidily. Meantime the
Ministers meet almost daily at the residence of the Presi-
dent of the Diet, Count Munch Bellinghausen, or that of
the Bavarian Minister, Baron Von Giese, which affords
some relief to our highly respected Chancellor, Prince
Metternich, who was confined to his bed a few days by a
slight indisposition.
We have no cold weather yet; after many weeks' con-
tinuance of rains and storms, fine spring weather set in
yesterday. Considerable damage done in Hungary by the
inundations.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 7.—ln consequence of the
arrangement of the affairs of Servia, and the Sultan's
firman to Prince Milosch, the Servian Deputy, M.
Petromievich, previous to his return to Servia, had
audience of the Sultan, who received him very graciously,
and presented him with a valuable diamond snuff-hox.
The Sultan, it is said, expressed on this occasion much
satisfaction with the conduct of Prince Milosch. Our
latest accounts from Smyrna mention the sailing of the
French squadron, under Admiral Hugon, on the 17th of
December, from Smyrna to Toulon, and that of the Eng-
lish on the 28th, from Vourla for Malta.
Profound tranquillity prevails in this capital : the fires
lately so frequent have ceased ; and since the clouds that
obscured the political horizon have been dispelled, trade
revives, and every body indulges in the prospect of better
times. Osman Pacha, who came from Candia, lives ex-
tremely retired, and but little is heard of him.

CARLSRUHE, JAW.. 25.—As a proof of the mildness of
the present season we will mention that on the 25th
Jan., 1833, the cold was the most intense, viz., 10 deg.
below Zero. To day, Jan. 25, 1834, the mercury in
the thermometer is at 111 deg. above Zero, being a
difference of 21i degrees.
BERLIN, JAN. 25.—A letter from Dantzic of the 19th
says, " To-day the fifth diet of the Provincial Estates of
the Kingdom of Prussia was open. This is the most
numerous Provincial Diet in the Prussian dominions,
95 Deputies were present."—Frankfort Papers,Jan. 29.

Sir John Bayley is a rare, if not a solitary
instance, of a person who has been successively a Judge of
the three Common Law Courts. He took the coif in
1799, was made a Judge of the Common Pleas in 1808,
removed in a few years subsequently to the King's Bench,
and ended as a Baron of the Exchequer.
Yesterday the Recorder made a report to his
Majesty of the prisoners in Newgate under sentence of

23 ; George Dyhell, 19 ; Joseph Baker, 19 ; and Thomas
Foster, 43, for housebreaking ; John Kelly, 24, for
burglary; and Charles Bluntly, 21, for highway robbery;
who were convicted at the last Old Bailey November
Sessions. Also Joseph Pearce, 24 ; and James Farrell,
17, for highway robbery, convicted at the last January
Sessions; all of whom his Majesty was graciously pleased
to respite during his Royal pleasure. The case ,of Gre-
gorio Guinea was postponed for further consideration till
this day (Thursday).

A youth of 14 has been preaching to over-
whelming congregations at Hull, Mahon, Pocklington,
and other places. He is said to possess considerable pul-
pit talents. —Leeds Intelligencer.
KENNOWAY.—NOVEL MODE OF PROCLA-
MATION.—Last week, a loving and faithful pair, who
wished to be united in the blessed state of wedlock, in-
structed our village drummer to proclaim them publicly
at the crow., which he did with all due formality, at noon,
on Wednesday, the 22d inst., in presence of five respect-
able persons, who affixed their names to a paper attesting
that the ceremony bad been performed in an efficient
manner. Next day the happy couple were legally joined
together in the bands of Hymen by a Justice of the Peace,
and received the hearty congratulations of their friends and
acquaintances on the joyous occasion.—Scotsman.
DEPREDATIONS IN • HAINAULT FOREST.
—The depredations in the Forest this winter are stated to
have been almost unprecedented. The keepers have dis-
covered that 200 trees have been cut down and carried
away within the last month—making 500 stolen in three
months, besides a large number of oak and ash saplings.
J. Sherman Spering, Esq., the Deputy Steward, instituted
a-strict inquiry, and in consequence several persons have
been convicted in penalties and costs.—Essex Herald.
HORRIBLE VORACITY OF A PIG !—On
Sunday week, the child of John Toonlan, in Boyle, was
killed by a pig, which was incautiously left alone in the
house. The child was about two years old, and was
asleep in a cradle, when the hungry animal caught it by
the throat, and before any assistance arrived, its neck was
completely devoured, and the body dreadfully mangled !

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FEB. 4.
The market has been extremely dull to-day. The sales are
estimated at from 800 to 1,000 bags, and prices are with
difficulty maintained.
LYNN.—A serious accident occurred in this
town last Friday to a lad named Hicks, about 16, in the
service of Mr. Alexander, corn factor. It appeared that
the youth had been sent on an errand to Mr.lyard's
flour (steam) engine, and, going up with another boy into
the chamber amongst the machinery, began to play at
marbles. Part of the works caught his clothes, and he
was drawn in with the apparatus, clinging to a spindle
that was revolving several hundred times in a minute;
and his legs flying out in a horizontal position, were dashed
at every revolution against a bar of irt,n. Before the boy
in company could find the engineer be was thrown off on
a pair of stones, that fortunately were not at work, or he
must have been ground to powder. Medical aid was
instantly called in, and no time being lost in amputating
both his legs above the knee, we learn he is likely to (1,)
well. Several of Lis toes and part of his legs were
scattered about the chamber.

It is with most painful feelings that we have
to record that another fire, beyond doubt the act of an in-
cendiary, has been perpetrated in the village, within
150 yards of that we detailed in our last. The following
are the particulars:—Stare the former fire, Mr. Burnip,
the proprietor of the stacks now destroyed, has kept a
constant watch by night over his property, until Wednes-
day last, when he desisted, imagining that the high reward
offered for the apprehension of those concerned in Mr.
Elliott's conflagration would deter others from committing
a similar act. He accordingly retired to rest at his usual
hour, but awoke between one and two o'clock on Thur.
Jay morning, and he determined on perambulating his
farm-yards, when all appeared to be safe, and he returned
to his bed. Shortly after three o'clock, however, be was
aroused by a loud knocking at his door, and on looking
out discovered that one of his stack-yards was in flames.
The villagers, on hearing of the catastrophe, ran to the
spot, and used their best endeavours to prevent the de-
struction which threatened the whole of Mr. Burnip's
buildings and property. Lord Durham's engine arrived
with all possible spced, and was, we are informed, the
only one present, and to the exertions of the firemen and
assistants may be attributed the preservation of the house
and outbuildings. The loss of property, nevertheless, is
excessive, as fourteen stacks were either totally destroyed
or rendered unserviceable—namely, nine stacks of wheat,
two of oats, one of beans, and two of hay. It was stated
that a light was perceived, by a cottager, on the opposite
side of the Wear, about three o'clock in, the morning,
moving from stack to stack.—Newcastle Chronicle.
SIEGE OF BHURTPOR E.—Bhurtpore fort,
with the town was nearly eight miles in circumference,
flanked with numerous bastions at short interval, well
defended with immense cannon and surrounded by a wide
and deep fosse. The garrison was complete, amply pro-
visioned and confident in the impregnability of their ram-
parts. Lord Like and little band of heroes sat down
before this formidable place on the 3d of January, 1805 ;
the trenches were soon opened, but wherever a breach was
made the defenders speedily tilled it up or fortified it with
stockades, and, in addition to the most galling and inve-
terate artillery and musketry, showered on the besiegers
ton steeped in oil, earthen pots tilled with fire and logs of burning wood and but ashes, lighted bales of
com-
bustiblescot-
ton
of every kind. Four times did the British
troops attempt to storm the breach, and four times were
they obliged to retire staggering under the (to them) ter-
rible loss of upwards of 3,000 men, the flower of the army;
and here let it be recorded, that his Majesty's seventy.fiftb
and seventy-sixth regiments (heretofore deemed like N-y,
" the bravest of the brave," and like Murat always
oof t
hyfore-
mostteirenemy's
in the heady current of battle), became panic struck
at the fury of their enemies, and refused to follow their
officers, until, shamed by seeing the East India Company's
twelfth regiment of Bengal Sepoys once more heroically
plant
loudly implored
to be permitted
to wash the stains from their honour in
the fourth attack, which, notwithstanding their desperate
valour, was still uneuccessful.—Froin MontgomeryNlar-
