REFORM MEETING IN PEEBLESHIRE.-011

Friday last, a meeting was held at Castle Craig, which was
succeeded by a dinner, at which the usual Reform toasts were
drank.—Dumfries Courier.

THE DUKE DE NEMOURS.—His Royal High-
ness, attended by General Baudrand and Colonel Boyer, his
Aide-de-Camp, returned to Grillon's Hotel, Albemarle-street,
yesterday, from a visit to their Majesties at the Palace, at
Windsor. The Duke intended to be present at the Entree
Levee yesterday, but he did not reach town until it was over,
and we believe his Majesty expressed his desire that his Royal
Highness should not leave Windsor Castle at so early an hour
as ten o'clock. The Marquis of Hertford invited the Duke to
a sumptuous banquet yesterday evening, but his Royal High-
ness had a prior engagement to dine with General Sebastian,
in Manchester-square. Among the visitants of the Duke, yes-
terday and the day preceding, at the Hotel, were the Duke of
Wellington, Lord Hill, Viscount. Palmerston, Lord Holland,
Baron Gersdorff, Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Melbourne,
Earl Cadogan, Marquis of Hertford, Sir Francis Burdett, Sir
Robort Chester, Count Lavradio, Chevalier. de Bille, Danish
Chargé d'Affaires.
MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW WORK.—We are re-
quested to state that the new work by the Authoress of " Do-
mestic Manners of the Americans," " Belgian and Western
Germany," &c., entitled " Tremordyn Cliff," is published
this day,by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, and may be
obtained of all Booksellers.

MRS. NISRETT'S QUEEN'S THEATRE.—The
crowded audiences that visit this theatre furnish a proof of the
value which the public set on the services of the performers and
the exertions of the proprietors to render it worthy of public
support. Wo learn that Mrs. Nisbett will continuo for the re-
mainder of this week the fairy operetta of the Guardian
Sylph. !t. is almost superfluous to say, that the admirable
acting of Mrs. itloney and John neeve in this talented farce
have added to their ipputation already acquired, as well as to
the stock of public amusement.

GREAT WESTERN RA ILWAY.--The Lords'
Committee, after an inquiry of forty-six days, have come to a
decision in favour of the Great Western Railway Big, There
was a majority of twelve in favour of the undertaking. Such
was the interest excited, that more than seventy of their LG•rd-
ships attended the Committee yesterday, and voted.
TILE SPANISH EXPEDITION.—The regiment of
cavalry to be commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Jacks (20th
Light Dragoons), is to be raised in Cork, to which city several
officers and non-commissioned officers will proceed from hence
hi the course of the week. The whole of the Rifle Regiment,
under the command of the Baron de Rottenburg, will embark
from Portsmouth in the Lord Lynedoch, as soon as the repairs
rendered necessary by her mishap off Ushant shall have been
completed. The recruiting is going on favourably in several
puts of the kingdom.
On Monday evening it rained so fast as to remove
several waggon loads of chalk from the Cliff. A heavy
thunder storm passed over Uckfield on Tuesday ; but we
had only a very slight shower at Lewes.—Lewes Observer.

_Friday, being the 70th anniversary of his .
Ma-
jesty'' was keit npon,.byihe Officers of the Royal Jer-
sey Militia, as an appropriate day to give a grand dinner to his
Excellency Major-General Campbell, the Lieut.-Governor of
this island. —.Tersey Argus.

The harvest is completed in the neighbourhood of
Lewes, and perhaps more abundant crops never were known.
On Tuesday several samples of new wheat was shown at our
corn market—Brighton Gazette.

EA RTIIQUARE.—It was felt in Whitehaven, but
more severely near ite;:singharn, Egremont, and the inland
parishes. It was a shock of shaking. without any premonitory
warnings, and then all was ove?. We cannot learn that any
mischief was done by it in this neighbourhood.— IVhilehaven
Herald.

DEPREDATION IN THE MOORS.—We (10 not be-
lieve that the gentlemen themselves who pay for
,anti shoot
over the Moors are aware of the enormous loss they sustain 17
the depredations of a set of poachers who, for some years
back, have assailed them before the 12th of August, and killed
hundreds and thousands of heads of game for the Edinburgh
and London markets, without qualification, permission, or title
of any sort, and before the time permitted by the laws for
sportsmanship. Such, however, we have the best means of
knowing to be the fact.—Perth Paper.

The wheat in most parts of the county Cork is
already cut down, and next week will complete the reaping in
that quarter. The craps at an average are good, and very
productive and abundant.

NEGRO LONGEVITY.—A female negro slave, of
the name of Joyce Heth, is now exhibiting in this city, who
has attained the extraordinary age of 161 years. A visit
which we paid her yesterday has removed whatever doubts we
previously entertained as to the facts confirmatory of this ex-
traordinary instance of longevity.—Pitsburgh (United States)
Advertiser.

Two philanthropists of the town of Bar, have just
made an important discovery, copied into the Journal de la
Meuse; they have with the greatest success employed the
skin of the potato in place of tobacco ; and further assures us
that even competent judges in the art of " puffing a cloud,"
as well as amateurs who advocate the use of a pipe, have one
and all been deceived by it.

Harvest is now general.in Dumfries-shire and Gal-
loway, and indeed over the whole country, if we except moun-
tain lands, mosses, and moors. Continued solar heat, unpa-
ralleled since the year 1826, has accelerated the period fixed
on by many as the commencement of harvest, by at least a
fortnight, and dispelled at the same time many gloomy fore-
bodings.—Dumfries Courier. ,

The result of the Carlow petition mentioned in
our last, must prove a severe blow to all Reformers, aggra-
vated by the bitter reflection, that had a few of our Irish Re-
presentatives been at their post, when their presence was most
called for, we might i easonably calculate upon a decision di-
rectly the reverse of that which now claims our attention.
iVa tplord Chronicle.

A sturgeon, weighing 2101b5.; and measuring eight
feet in length and four in girth, was • caught on Friday last, in
one of the weirs between Swansea and the Mumbles, and ex-
hibited in our fish market. on Saturday. It was afterwards
skinned by one of the fishmongers, and sold in various pieces
to those whose tastes were excited by the Royal fare.—The
Cambrian.

CURE FOR DonnticEA.—A gentleman who has
for some time past used the following recipe with great suc-
cess, requests us to publish it : --A table spoonful of vinegar
and a tea spoonful.of salt, mixed with a gill of warm water.
If relief he not afforded in the course of ten or fifteen minutes,
a repetition -el the dose, he says, has been effectual in every
instance he has observei..-rThw York Paper..
