rernment of Orecting the sciture of all the unstamped
newspapers diered for Sale. in flie. fitrcets., has almost en-
tirely destroyed their circulation in the Metropolis. On
his. Saturday and Sunday, the fnspeetors, and persons ap-
point:edit, the ftliove duty, were only able to obtain a very
small number Oa it,s the persons who were in the
usual habit of vending theill IQ 04 i.„tiorrnous extent, were
deterred from the risk of purchasing tti4i-Vi %fife!) as
every probability of their seizure. It is stated thM the
recent regulations which have been adopted by the audio•
ritice to' pireyent the sale of these illegal publications, were
occasioned hi consequence of a representation made to the
Government by several of the Metropolitan Police Magis-
trates on the subject. The Magistrates, it is said, finding
themAtc placed in a very awkward position by the ccnduct
pursued by tbe Cteernment on several occasions where
persons !lad been committed to prison for selling unstamped
newspapers, and who had been discharged almost immedi-
ately by order of the Secretary of State, resolved to make
a communication upon the subject, the result of which
was the adoption of the proceeding of seizing the unstamped
publications. Although the Metropolitan circulation of the
unstamped has been very much curtailed, yet the immense
number which is circulated throughout they country is still
undiminished. It is, however, understood that the pro-
ceedings which have been adopted to prevent the sale of
the unstamped in the Metropolis, will very shortly be fol-
lowed by others, having for their object the suppression of
them altogether. •
A farmer residing at West Tarring, and the land-
lord of the Half Moon at Salvington, imitating their neigh-
bours in the higher circles, had a regular set-to at Worthing
on Thursday last, in consequence, it is said, of some misre-
presentation in which the innkeeper had indulged at the
farmer's expense. After a few rounds, in which the latter
had the decided advantage, the further consideration of the
matter was, at the suggestion of the landlord, postponed to
some future occasion.
The anniversary of the 29th of November has
been celebrated in many cities in France, England, Bel-
gium, and Switzerland. Everywhere the same indignation
has burst forth at the late barbarous speech of the autocrat;
everywhere have the same vows been made for the approach-
-1 ing regeneration of Poland. The carrying off of children,
it is certain, still continues to decimate that country. This
atrocious measure is carried on systematically. Every year
a certain number of children are carried away. We shall
give the details on this subject in our next number.—Le
Polonais.
THE RIOTS IN SUFFOLK.—The towel of Ips-
wich has been quiet during the week, but the example of
the misguided men has been followed in other districts, and
similar results would no doubt have followed, if it had not
been for the presence of the Metropolitan police, and the
active exertions of the Magistracy. We learn from the
Ipswich papers, that on the Sunday night a number of
labourers of the parish of Baddinghana, in the Horne Hun-
dred, assembled together, and between 11 and 12 o'clock,
showered a quantity of stones at the sleeping-room window
of Mr. Pooley, the guardian of the parish, and (doubtless
in the expectation that Mr. Pooley would approach the
window,) a large stone weighing 111 b., was shortly after
thrown in. They then broke the keeping-room windows.
In the morning of Monday, a horn was blowing as early
as four o'clock, and the rioters having mustered all their
strength, forcibly pressed into their ranks all the labourers
they could find, proceeded to Laxfield in order still more
to increase their numbers, and about mid-day marched into
Stradbroke four abreast, armed with bludgeons and club-
sticks, and about 200 in number, and drew up before the
Queen's Head Inn, where the Board of Guardians was
sitting. On the following days a scene of violence and
riot was exhibited. _ _ . •

Incommunicative taciturnity neither imparts nor in-
vites friendship, but repose's on a stubborn sufficiency, self-
centred, and neglects the interchange of that social
officiousness by which we are habitually endeared to one
another. They that mean to make no use of friends will
be at little trouble to gain them; and to be without friend-
ship is to be without one •f the first comforts of our pre-
sent state. To have no assistance from other minds, in
resolving doubts, in appeaslns, scruples, in balancing deli-
berations, is a very wretcheedestitution.---Johnsoniana.
A few evenings since a smart-looking young fellow
entered the shop of a pawnbroker in Goswell-street to pur-
chase a-wedding-ring, stating that he was on the eve of
matrimony. Having tried upon his own finger a handsome
ring, which he thought likely to fit, he turned towards the
door and called upon " Jane" to enter, having previously
told the shopman the lass was so bashful he could not get
her to enter the shop with him. His intended, or rather
his pretended, did not make her appearance, and he went
out of the shop calling " Jane, Jane." Before the shop-
man could get round the counter to look after him he bad
made off with the ring.
PERPETUAL MOTION.—An individual in • Ro-
chester is endeavouring to humbug the good people of
Rochester by the exhibition of a perpetual motion; after
the fashion of the immortal Redheifer. The inventor of
this new dainty for the gullibility of the popular stomach
was inspired with the secret by a marvellous dream ! We
hope the Rochesterians will be wide enough awake to
avoid the folly of giving their money to the vagabond.
The nightmare is too rife in our country at this time in
most matters. A great part of the modern " philanthro-
pists" are suffering under that visitation.—New York Paper
of Nov. 28.
CROWS.—In the country, especially during a fall
of snow, the catching of crows may afford excellent amuse-
ment. One method is as follows :—Scrape vomi&l,
and hat rolled small portions of flesh it it, scatter them
about the ground ; the crows, attracted by the flesh,
will devour it, but they will soon after become intoxicated,
and fall down as if dead. They will, however, recover
from the intoxication, and if not speedily caught may fly
away. Nux vomica is a mortal poison to dogs, which can-
not be cured but by making them swallow vinegar.
ATTACK ON THE NEWRY AND MONAGHAN
MAIL CAR.—MoNAGHAN, DEC. 23.—0 n Monday night
last, as the Newry mail car was on its way from Castle-
blaney, to Monaghan, about two miles from the latter
town, an attack was made upon it by a number of persons
with stones ; the guard and driver, however, escaped un-
hurt. On its approach to the town, at the chapel-gate, a
second attack was made by a crowd of persons who were
apparently awaiting its arrival. The Fuard was assaulted
with bludgeons, &c., and, after repeatedly calling on the
assailants to desist, without- effect, he was obliged to fire,
by which the person who first rushed forward to the assault
and a woman were wounded. The driver succeeded in
getting the car through the crowd, a number of them pur-
suing, five of whom were ultimately secured by the police,
who very fortunately were patroling at the time. On Tues-
day the matter was investigated by a bench of Magistrates,
and informations were taken against these five, together
with the wounded man, who is in the Monaghan Infirmary,
all of whom had been held to bail for trial at the ensuing
Assizes. The public are aware that the car was also
attacked on the November fair night precisely at the same
time, and, after severely beating the driver, breaking the
lamps, and destroying the harness, the horses were turned
loose, and were not found for some days after. On that
occasion a reward was offered for the discovery of the,
delinquents, but without effect. We trust the second at-
tack,
and its consequences, will lead to a discovery of the
whole matter. This neighbourhood is at present in a very
disturbed state. In the parish of Tyholland scarcely a night
passes without some outrage occurring. The system of
waylaying is in active operation, and during the last
,week
several houses have been broken into, and the inmates
dragged out and beaten. The avowed cause, in one in-
stance, was because the person beaten refused to contri-
bute to the O'Connell annuity. An armed gang of ruffians
are nightly patroling the country, and in very large num-
bers, sounding horns, firing shots, &c.—SaOider's News
Letter.
FALMOUTH, DEC. 27.—The Harlequin yacht
came in this afternoon from Gibralter and Lisbon ; sailed
from the latter on the 22d instant, having on board the
body of her late noble owner, Lord Vernon, whose death
was announced some short time since as having taken place
at Gibraltar. Lady Vernon accompanies the remains as
far as this port, and being in a delicate state of health,
will, by the recommendation of her medical attendants, re-
main in this neighbourhood for the winter. The Harlequin
will proceed with the corpse to Liverpool.
ROYAL MAIL COACH ES.-An article on this sub-
ject in the papers of yesterday is incorrect in many points.
The new coaches will weigh 17 cwt., not 181 cwt., as
stated. The former contractor's (Vidlcr's) nt coaches
weighed 174 cwt. to 18 cwt., not 22 cwt., end the saving
to the revenue, instead of being 50,000/., will not be quite
12,0001, per annum. The procession of the new mail-
coaches
is on Friday, not Thursday, as reported.
The body of Mr. C. Peat, of Chichester, who left
his home about three weeks since, was found en Tuesday
se'nnight in a ditch leading to Appuldrum. The gun by
which he had effected his destruction was firmly grasped in
his hand. The Jury impannelled by the Coroner returned
a verdict of " Temporary Insanity."—.73rcorresighton Guardian.
THE IRISH TURF CLUB.—A pondence has
just been published in Ireland relatiVe to the disputed race.
The club calls upon Mr. Ruthven for the production of
Caroline and Leinster'at Kildare. Mr. Rutlmen refuses
to enter into further correspondence with, and begs his
name to be discontinued as a member of the club. The
Stewards state their full reliance on the respectability of the
persons who were sent -from. England, for the'purpose of
identifying Beccassinc and Old Bill. A requisition has
been also sent to Mr. ltuthveu from a number of his con-
stituents, calling upon him to produce the horses at Kit-
dare, in order to remove any unfavourable impressions which
may have been made respecting the char4cter of their re-
presentAtive.
