ST. PETERSBURG'', DEC. 21.—The polite conduct of
England towards Russia appears to have produced a
greater effect in other countries than it has here. In
this country all eyes are turned towards an adored monarch,
whose noble attitude will again defeat the plans of the
enemies of the etnp re. Whenever England has perceived
any foreign navy becoming too powerful she has always
created difficulties, for the purpose of finding an excuse
for attacking and reducing it, but, as Russia has
always acted with good faith, every pretext that may
he raised for quarrelling with her will vanish or if
more than men ices should be resorted to, Russia will meet
whatever may come in a manner wo, thy of the history
of her former deeds.—Munich Gazette.

OnEssa, DEC. IS.—The activity which reigned in our
port has ce it'd at the approach of winter. Most of the
ships of war have returned into the inner put, where
they have been dismantled. For some time there has been
no movement of troops, except such as were absolutely
indispensable. The provinces which were threatened with
scarcity have been evacuated, and reinforcements have
been sent to the points where disord.rs were apprehended.
We are not alarmed at the reports spread in foreign
j•iurnals of the preparations for war which take place in
our neighbourhood, and we enjoy a state of peace which
we think will not be interrupted for a lung time to came.

VIENNA, JAN. 4.—The news received the day before
yesterday Irom Constantinople of the 19th December,
of the recall of the French and English squadrons from the
Archipelazo, has caused a rise on stock of every descrip.
tion on 'Change. The degree of this rise shows-how
much the affairs of the Esst have hitherto depressed the
funds. The inducement to this recall is most probably a
positive declaration of Russia respecting its policy with
reference to Turkey. No less sincerely than our Cabinet,
it maintains the principle of preservation, and what gua-
rantee would be thought satisfactory if she would call in
question the sincerity of an assurance to this effect What
would be the treaties and alliances between Sovereigns, if no
confidence could he placed in Such an assurance, which has,
besides, a guarantee in the friendly relations between the
Russian and Austrian Gsvernments? On this account,
all the apprehensions which the alliance of Russia and
Turkey has excited will vanish, and no room be left for
fears on this head. But the internal condition of Turkey
2ives ground for the notion that the existence of the
Turkish empire cannot he of long duration. The exist-
ence of a dangerous conspiracy in the capital is still shown
by the continual incendiary attempts, while uneasiness,
discontent, and fermentation, are everywhere manifested.
The Government, besides, is neither loved nor feared,
nay, it is despised ; and thus we may understand bow the
provinces remote from the capital are attempting, not
without success, to obtain a greater share of independence,
and how Albania, Bosnia, Moldavia, and Wallachia are
rapidly approaching the goal which Greece and Servia
has already reached ; and how an ambitious Pacha could
make himself master of half the Turkish empire, and
assuredly waits only for a favourable opportunity to con •
tinue his conquests, or at least completely to annihilate
the apparent supremacy which the Porte still retains.—
Zeitung, Jan. 10.

TußusHEs.—A correspondent mentions that
thrushes get at the snails on which they feed by taking
them into their beak, and hammering the shells against a
stone until they are broken. He states that a neighbour
of his brought up a thrush from the nest and kept it
many years. It was so tame as to be allowed to fly about
the room, when, though it had never seen any other thrush,
its chief amusement was to take a silver thimble in its
beak, and endeavour, with great earnestness and perse-
verance, to break it, as the wild bird breaks the shells of
snails, by hammering it violently against any hard sub-,
stance.— The Penny Magazine.
BARRINGToN'S MEMOIRS OF THE UNION.
_Sir Jonah I3arrington's skill in appreciating and depict-
ing character has been long acknowledged. No country
presents more peculiar traits of character than Ireland ;
and he has tikes full end able advantage of this in his
chief produc ion, the " Memoirs of the Legislative
Union between Great Britain and Ireland." In the
course of this important work there is scarcely a single
leading personage of modern Irish history whose character
is nut forcibly drawn, and whose conduct is not anal)zed.
We might notice, in particular, his portrai's of Lords
Coruwallis, Moira, Care, Castlereagh, Chariernont, C 4m-
den, Norbury, and Fitzw Warn ; the. Alirqual of Buckin4-
,littfl, the Duke of Leinster, Messr Curran, Grair,n,

Fl nnf, Fitz4ihbon, Plunkett, Bush, Yelverton, Dawson,
an I O'C mnor, who figure in these pages, among other
per-ons of great prom nence, in the stormy and ev. ntfut
t Ines thsciibed by Sir Jonah.

SUSPECTED MURDER.—On Tuesday and
yesterday an inquest wa-i he.d before Mr. Baker, one of
Vie C 'toners for Nliddle-ex, at the Jack of Newbury
ptblic house, at the corner of Bunhill-row, to inquire into
the (Leath of a female child, name unknown. The case
excited intense interest, the character of a very respectable

than having been alluded to in such a manner as to render
it necessary for him to employ Mr. Humphries. the soli-
citor, to watch the evidence, which was, cert,iny, of an
extraordinary kind. The holy of the infant had been
found, slightly nailed up in a deal box, at the foot of a
cominon stair, in Type-court, Type-street, St. Luke's.
Tiie evidence adduced tending to show that its death took
place in Lothbury, the jury were discharge I without
coining to a verdict, and the further investigation refeired
t.i Mr. Payne, the City Coroner. The evidence is of such
ntture as to be scarcely fit for publication ; but, at all
events, as it has hitherto led to no result, we do not think
it right to publish any part of it, until the inquest is closed.
THE SKELETON DISCOVERED IN Ox-
FOZID-STILEET. -- Mr. Chapman, the individual who
c.inimunicated to Mr. Dyer, at Marlborough-street, on
S.a urdiy, the circumstances under which he became
pussessed of a human skull which he then hail with him,
came yesterday to the office, and made some further stae-
ments relative to the inquities he had in the interim been
following up. The entire skeleton was discovered in an

,tre,t, and as the affair had transpired in the neighbour_
thlught it right to lay the particulars before a Magistrate.
A perforation was found on the skull, which appeared to
have been inflicted by some murderous weapon ; and it
tv is alleged that a quantity of human hair was found near
it. A medical mau inferred that it was the skull of a
young female. The Irish labourers who bad discovered
the skeleton while excavating the spot, had refused to
tee forward, Mr. Chapman said, unless remunerated for
their trouble. Mr. Dyer advised the applicant, in oraer
to set the matter at rest, to go to the parish authorities of
Matylebone, and to lay t:,e particulars b-fore them. for
the purpose of ascera ning if they conceived it to be a
matter which ought to be submitted to a G.ioner's Jury,
Mr. Chapman promised to follow this suggestion.
