The King of SPA IN has issued a decree
making a kind of reform in the municipal corporations of
his kingdom. The present electors are to ha've their
members, for the elections of justices, doubled by the junc-
tion of an equal number of their neighbours who have
contributed most to the taxes. _

It now appears that the assistance tendered
to the SULTAN in his hour of distress by Persia, was by
no means disinterested, for the SHAH offered his aid only
on the condition of obtaining the Pachalic of BAGDAD,
which has long been an object of contention between ti .e
Empires. The SULTAN has declined it. The progress
of IBRAHIM is stopped for the present, and it is suppos,d
he waits for orders to retire to Syria.

CLERICAL CHANGES.—The Rev. J.
LONSDA LE, it is said, is at, to resign the Rectory of
Sr. George's, Bloomsbury, in favour of the Rev. Dr.
THORPE, who has obtained the promise of the presentation
from the LORD CHANCELLOR.

Yesterday afternoon, about the close of the
Exchange, as Mr. MELLisir, the-celebrated contractor, was
walking through a passage which leads from Threadneedle-
street to Finch-lane, he was accosted in very angry terms
by an individual, who in the Rex: moment discharged a
pistol at his head. Mr. HELLISH fell, exclaiming "Oh
God !"—and the assassin, who did not attempt to escape,
was instantly seized and given in charge to the police. He
gave his name NOAH PEARCE POLGER, and it appeared
that he had been the master of a merchant.vesael, of which
Mr. MELLISH was the owner. He complained that he
had been driven almost mad in consequence of his having
been turned adrift by Mr. MELLIIII without just cause.
He was conveyed to Giltapur-street Compter, preparatory
to his examination before the city magistrate to-day.
When Mr. HELLISH fell, a number of gentlemen ran to
his assistance, and bad him carried to the nearest surgeon's,
when it was found that he was severely, but not mortally,
wounded, and his wounds having been dressed he was con-
veyed to his residence.
A rise of nearly 4 per cent. has taken place
this morning (Monday) in Bank stock, and some expecta-
tion has been created, consequently, that the announce-
ment is near at hand of a renewal of the charter, on terms
favourable to the proprietors. Nothing definite has, how-
ever, been stated of the nature of those terms, and we
should rather attribu'e the rise to a few purchases made on
the presumed probability of such renewal than to any po..
sitive information on the suiject. The general impression
in the city appears to be that further inquiry is necessary;
and it is by no means likely that any positive resolution
can have been taken at this time on the subject. Bank
stock is in few hands, and is therefore liable to material
fluctuations in value from transactions of a very limited
nature. The last price of Bank stock is quoted 200
to 201. Times.
MRS. SHERIDAN'S FORTHCOMING WORK.
We are requested to state that the new novel entitled
" Aims and Ends," by the author of the powerful story of
"Carwell," will be published on the 26th instant, by Mr.
BULL, Holles-street, Cavendish-square ; and that in order
to prevent disappointment in the supply, all orders should
be given without dell to the various booksellers through-
out the kingdom.—Of whom also may be procured the
New Edition of " Carwell." " A tale," says the Quar-
terly Review," in every page of which we feel the efficacy
of an imagination equally strong and feminine ;—where
every sentiment speaks the elevation of a graceful genius."
Amongst the wonderful and diversified works
of nature which are daily presenting themselves to our
view, perhaps none are more remarkable than the striking
similitude which many of them bear to human figures.
One of the finest which we have ever seen is an admirable
Profile of the Duke of WELLINGTON, in a piece of flint,
now in the possession of Mr. FRASER, jeweller, 17, St.
Andrew-street, Edinburgh. So true is this likeness, that
were Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE or Sir HENRY RAEBURN
again to appear on earth, all their wonted skill would be
vainly exercised to surpass it.—Edinburgh Observer.
In the Court of Common Pleas yesterday, a
verdict of 121. damages was found for the plaintiff in the
case of DUSAIN v. MooRE, whist' was WA concluded
when our paper went to press.
OLD BAlLEY.—Yesterday, GEORGE CONEY
and RICHARD SMITH were found guilty of burglary, com-
mitted in the house of Mr. WHEELER, a jeweller in Bart-
lett's-buildings, Holborn.
At the Old Bailey this day, Robert Spencer,
was convicted of uttering a bill for 4051., knowing the
indorsement upon it to be forged ;—on nearly the same
evidence as was adduced at the Police Office.
A PARSNIP RESEMBLING A HUMAN
HAND.—The parsnip of which a figure is annexed, repre-
sents a human band, particularly the back part of it, so
correctly, that it could not be surpassed by the best painter.
This root was bought at the market of a woman who sold
vegetables, and as it was shown to several persons, it came
at last into the hands of an engraver. Though roots of
this kind, especial!), of the parsnip species, are not rare,
yet there could scarcely be found one that so nearly rearm-

MORAL EFFECTS OF THE STAGE.—It is
remarkable how virtuous and generously-disposed every
one is at a play. We uniformly applaud what is right, and
condemn what is wrong, when it costs nothing but the
sentiment.—Ha zlitt.
