We are happy to observe, from our advertising co-
lumns that the owners of steam-packets have given notice
of a meeting, to be held on Thursday next, for the purpose
of promoting the safety of persons navigating the river, by
means of suitable regulations for vessels and boats of all
descriptions. _ _ _

MY AUNT PONTYPOOL.—This is a singular title,
the herald of • a novel of singular excellence. The cha-
racter of "My Aunt" is inimitably drawn.; every reader
will recognize in her a person whom he
.has• met a thousand
times before, and will exclaim " How like my aunt." The
work is piquant Without ill-natured personality, at once :In
index and an embellishment to the spirit of the present
The author is evidently an experienced and practised .writer,
and his novel is likely to enjoy an extensive popularity.
MARCH OF ORTHOGRAPITY.—III the window of
a dressmaker's shop, near Prince's-street, Drury-lane, is ex-
hibited a placmd, which states that ." Lady's onc meterrak"
are made up on the " most resOnble terms.r And in. White
Hart-street, a paper wafared oa the window informs us,
that " washing, (halving, Plane yedle work,'' &c. &c. -is
" don hear."

The skeletons of some of the sufferers by the loss of
the Royal George have lately, by the violence of the recent
gales, been exposed to sight on the shores near Bembridge.
It is melancholy to witness these remnants of the untimely
fate of those poor sailors, who thus suddenly perished more
than half a century ago.—Dorset Chronicle.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.—As ele Rev.
Mr. M'Hugh, a Roman Catholic clergyman, resident near
Straid, was sitting reading at his window, about nine
o'clock on Tuesday evening last, be was fired at, and nar-
rowly'escaped with life, as the shot broke two panes of the
glass.

LEGAL SEPARATlON.—Considerable consterna-
tion was occasioned at the Union Workhouse on Friday
last, by come of the women who
.Ip.d been engaged in
cleaning the men's Upper apartments taking advantage of a
door way which was open, to descend a flight of stairs lead-
ing to their lower rooms, and mingling with their partners.
The circumstance soon coming to the knowledge of the go-
vernor and the Board of Guardians, who were at the time
holding their weekly meeting, the necessary assistance was
rendered. The scene was ludicrous enough—men, women,
guardians, and governors all being mixed together " pell
well." Our Big% Constable being called in, some of the
most desperate and refractory characters, after a severe
struggle, were placed in the -black hole ; and at length a
separation cf the men and women being effected, order was
again restored. The refractory men, on showing penitence,
have since been released, and admonished by one of our re-
sident magistrates,'having promised to conduct themselVes
in future peaceably and orderly, and to comply with the rules
and regulations of the house, as laid down by the Poor
Law Commissioners.—Brighton Gazelle.
PRESENTS, NEW YEAR'S G ars, &c.—As the
season is approaching for the interchange of gifts and pre-
sents, we may remove the formidable difficulty so often felt in
the choice of an appropriate object, by directing the attention
of our readers to the very beautiful edition of " Cwrper's
Life and Works," just completed by the Rev. Mr. Grim-
shawe. We cany,bardly imagine any work more fitted to
form the character, morals and intellect of the rising gene-
ration than the inestimable writings of England's " house-
hold poet." Cowper, nor one that a Christian parent would
sooner present to his child, or a brother to his sister. This
first uniform and complete edition is in eight elegant volumes,
embellished with sixteen engravings'by Finden, and bound
and lettered, for the moderate price of five shillings per
volume.

During the past week, letters have been received
stating the total loss of the brig Ha rton,bclong:ng to Poole.
She struck on a rock whilst sailing into Bay Roberts, a
harbour in Conception Bay, Newfoundland, All hands
were saved.

The town and neighbourhood of Sherborne will
very shortly be put under tie controul of the important
measure which was passed last year, for re-constructing the
machinery of the English Poor Laws.
We rejoice.to learn that there is not the slightest
foundation for the rumour in the E;tst.lndia Papers of the
murder of Mr. Calvin and other English gentlemen in

THE LATE GALE.--On Saturday twining, about
eight o'clock, an old house at the back gate of the karracks,
was blown downhy the violent gale which prevailed at that
time, by which two women were killed on the spot, anc
another was taken to the North Infirmary greatly injured
—Cork Hcraid.

We are happy to hear that some of the brethren
from the Mountbellew Monastery, are about to found an
establishment in the wild and hitherto neglected region of
Connemara.—They intend to establish a very large school ;
and from this, as well as from the agrieulturill improvements
which they intrcduce, the greatest advantages may be
anticipated.—lrish Paper.
PIGEON MATCII.—The wager lieten
_ wie.

Bloodsworth and Air. Tobin took place on Wednesday, a
the enclosure behind the Red House, Battersea. The
wager was for WI., at 25 birds in fire trap.; the distance
21 yards. The birds were far from strong, and the shoot-
ing on the whole but o`• an ordinary character. - Mr. Bloods-
worth won by killing 21 bids ;his arlversnry missed 8.
The betting, was 5 and 6 to: 4; &Alt. Bloodsworth, and the
gin was backed at 3 to 11.

O Friday, Mr. Musters's houn:ls had a gallant run ; they
threw oil at Stoke liardolph, found at Burton wood, a fine old
fox, who went off in prime style, and led them a chive com-
pletely into the north of the county, through Thoresby.park,
to ll,finsley Lodge, where reynard, completely jaded, took to
a sough and was lost. Ilorses, hounds, and huntsmen were
nil completely knocked up, and many did not-reach home till
near midnight. The length of the run was upwards of 30

Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, an extensive
fire broke out in one of the kitchens of the house of Mr.
Davis, upholsterer, 5, Queen's-row, Pimlico, which burnt
with tirt most frightful rapidity. The family having re-
tired to bed, the greatest anxiety prevailed for. a time as to
their safety ; and it was with no small degree of danger that
they escaped -with their lives. Information having been
forwarded to the London Fire Establishment engine-houses,
several of' them, with upwards of thirty firemen, attended ;
and, aided by a good supply of water, they succeeded in
confining the destruction to the lower part of the premises.
A great -quantity of very valuable stock was in the shop at
the :time of the lire (a portion of an order for furniture of
the most costly description),-which was entirely consumed.
One poor man, while in the act of removing furniture from
an adjoining house, fell down and broke his leg. He was
immediately conveyed to St. George's,llospital, where every
attention has been paid him. Mr. Davis's stock was in-
sured in the Alliance Fire-ofiee, and the building in the
County*. How the fire commenced has not been ascertained.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—ALLEGED DEATH OF A
MARINE FROM MILITARY FLonotral.--Yesterday after-
noon C. J. Carttar, Esq., the Coroner for West Kent, and
a highly respectable Jury, assembled at the Canteen of the
Marine Barracks at W;ohvich, for the purpose of investi-
gating the circumstances attending the death of Thomas
Ramsay, aged 21, a private in the Royal Marines, who died
on Monday last of a locked jaw, brought on, as it was al-
leged, by the severity of corporal punishment inflicted on
him for a breach of military discipline. The inquiry excited
great interest. After the examination of many witnesses,
the minutes of the Court-martial were read by the Coroner
to the Jury; They contained three distinct charges against
the deeeaSed winch were fully borne out in evidence. Col.
M'Cleverty, the Commandant of the Marines ; Dr. Parkins,
the surgeon ; and Messrs. 13ossay and Butler, two surgeons
of Woolwich, that were chosen by the Jury, were severally
examined at great length. The Jury at eleven o'clock
withdrew, and, after conSultingiogether, returned into the
Jury-room at•twelve o'clock, and recorded a verdict, " That
Thomas Ramsey died of a lock-jaw, brought o❑ by puniSh-
ment in pursuance of the sentence of a Court martial."

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

We ciinnot quite comprehend the motives of t 1 (”.:&
by whom the rumours are so perseveringly spread, or
the note of preparation so strangely sounded amon-st
the Conservatives, of a dissolution of Parliament. Oct
the part of the Government no such intention is al-
lcgctl to exist. It woulii be absurd, whatever may be
the advantarses the popular party has gained in the re-
,
gists cation, in the present prosperous and peaceful state:
of the country, to suppose their having a recicnr3e to
such a measure, without some desertion or some split
amongst their friends, of which no symptoms have
come to our knowledge. Do the Conservatives rely
upon the twaddling letter of an Hcnourable Baronet,
the Member for Westminster, to the ineml ne Of
Brookes's to produce this ? or are all their hopes Lnilt
on the influence of a certain political Countess, of ma-
ture age, and, we might add, almost of hereditary expe-
rience in Court intrigue, upon the mind of en exalted
Personage to bring about another coup d'et:-.,-!? With
respect to the letter of the Hon. Baronet, too
discussion has already been wasted upon it. We are
not the more defenders of the coarse and violent lan-

guage so improperly made use. of in Mr. O'Connell's
letter to Mr. Raphael, because we think Mr. Rephae?
in the wrong throughout the whole correspondence.
The term of a " mighty great liar" is both vulgar and
.disgusting, and more especially so when made use of
by a person who declines to make himself personally
responsible for the sins towards others of his. tongue or
his pen. Such language. detracts from the strength'
of the best cause ; and :11r. O'Connell may be assured,

. ,
in this country at least, is 0 ,enerally assumed to be re-
sorted to in place of reason and justice. But what
the gentlemen of Brookes's can do towards the repres-
sion of such abuse between members of their Club;wc

are yet to be informed. It may be a ease as respects
that Society, of some difficulty ; and of this difficulty
Sr Francis's letter affords the best illustration. Mr.
O'Connell calls Mr. Raphael a liar. Sir Francis
calls Mr. O'Connell an idolater ; and this without

the provocation—which, if it cannot extenuate—ft.ere
can he no excuse for such language.—at least may, in
some degree, account for Mr. O'Connell's violence.
The latter term is infinitely more opprobrious than the
first—even as applied individually. Applied gene-
rally, what becomes of the constant boast of Sir

Francis, that he is a supporter of religious liberty ?

He has lost his senses, or he has never understood the

principles on which religious liberty must be founded.
!is to the language made use of by Mr. O'Connell at
political meetings, if we arc not on all occasions ad•

inircrs of some of the exceedings of his eloquence, we

must admit they have been much less, and the fruit of
more provocation, than those of which we have some
recollection on the part of the Hon. Baronet. " The
people' crucified between two sets of thieves, the Whigs
and the Tories," was one of his favourite images. Let.
him compare it,with expressions which so much offend
hiM in Mr. O'Connell's harangues, and honestly tell
us in what they ceeced it. However, without nursta--
ine• this subject, we do not see why any result from
theft/00y interference of the Hon. I3aronet is to
produce either desertions from, or schisms in, the po-
pular party. They have higher interests at stake and
in View than they can afford to sacrifice in the adjust-
ment of such squabbles ; and we assure the Tories
this expected event has already failed them. What
then, are there Itopee founded an the reports of their
High Priestess in the temples of Windsor and
Brighton ? We do not call her an " idolatress," al-
though she may be an " idol ;" and we may possibly
think her ancient faith purer than her adopted one.
But their expectations cannot exceed what every
Reformer knows of the bitter and nev:r-fading
hostility of their 'partisans, who infest the Court,
to popular principles and the rights and interests
of the people. there has never been the slightest.
mitigation, from the first,. of the abuse told
contumely with which most of the members of
the Government, and all their measures have
been ,assailed. We doubt much whether we
einild not quoae expressions of this description
in very high quarters as strong as those made use
of either by Mr. O'Connell or by'Sir Francis Burdett. -
The Miniters have the ;neatest credit for temper and
forbearance, in treating with utter disregard these ebui-
litions of spleen and disappointment, of which they arc:
as well aware as every other well-informed person in .
society—and in steadily pursuing their Administration,
protected only by the people, ae-,ahret Court, Peer:;,
Bishops, Sinectirists, Pensioners, Conservative and
Carlton Clubs, and the host of dependents upon, and
enjoyers of, the good things of a Tory misgovernment.
of nearly a century. We inane the most ample ad-,
mission of these facts, not only without fear that they
lvill give advantage to the Conservatives, but in the
teeth and in defiance of their worst efforts. •
chief, by another coe4n Via, they may do. In the
present happy and flourishing state of the country
that must be deprecated. On any other ground,, and
that- this vain dream of the resurrection of Tory as-
cendancy may be finally dissipated, we might not
regret tile trial. We venture to predict that these
rumours are neither countenanced nor suggested by
Sir Robert Peel or the Duke of Wellington. The
former knows too well, from experience, the real
inefficiency, for all purpoSes of geVernment, of the
babblers and infocelles of the Carlton Club, to venture
upon a rash experiment at his sole risk for their ad-
vantaa;e ; and the Duke has been taught, by his ultra
friends at Oxford and in the House of Lords, that
there is no chance of bending them to the aecomino-
dating principles on which he has always been willing
to hold power. We wish some of the Tory organs
would be kind enough to inform us how they intend to
constitute the next Administration, for which the
hungry place-hunters of their party think ,they are
preparing the way ? We will pass over the insig-
nificant point of •a
house of Commons disposed to
support a Tory Government. .Sir Robert Peel must,
of course, be Premier. The Secretaries of .thea
ITreasury and the Members of time different Boards

may hope to find their old place's ; nod, for the sake
of a more speedy abortion of the attempt, we
should desire no changes. 'Who comes
Goulburn was nearly as efficient as air
George Clerk, and he also may find himself in his
former situation. Lord Ashburton has obtained
the object of his polities and his purse. Sir E.
Knatchb:lll !,:nrclv could not again be, produced
as a MiniAor. In the House of Lords, where arc

ne colleaoe to he found, willing even to give their
- •
countenanee to Sir Robert Peel's liberalities ? Sarolv
Lord Lyndhurst cannot be one. Do the Carlton Club
think the nation will forget his conduct on the Corpo-
ration Reform Bill ? But we must not be ungrateful
to his Lordship. Hes is one of those shrewd and cle-
ver Urn-plots whom we .wish always to find engao•ed
in a cause to which we are opposed.. His motion for
an instruction to the Committee on the Reform Bill,
to postpone the disfranchising clauses till they had
settled the enfranchising ones, saved. the :Ministry of
that day from a great dilemma, and probably did .morz:
to force that measure, in an numutilatedshape, through
the House of Lords, than the management of its ad-
vocates. If ho had allowed the Bill to go into Com-
mittee, the question then must have arisen, as it did on
the Municipal Reform, What concessions might be
submitted to, to ensure the carrying of the remain-
ing- provisions of the Bill ? Certainly, half the me-
tropolitan Members, the qualification in the great
towns, and several other importont provisions, would
have been in jeopardy, if the public feeling had
not been again roused be the' crisis which fol-
lowed that motion. So, last year, instead of follow-
mg the course of his more sagacious leader in the
House of Commons, he gave wav to his own feel-
ings, and the prejudices of his allies in the Lords,
only to prove to the country the real difiserenee between
the professions of Sir R. Peel, and the opinions of his
former colleagues ; and the impossibility of the country
relying upon any Government formed out
.of such
materials acting upon honest principles of Refor► u.
