THE CA SEE T.

A collection of amusing tales, anecdotes, jeu-
d'esprits, &c., mostly compilations, illustrated,
after the fashion of the Mirror, with an infinite
variety of wood-cuts.

The old Winchester measure of 36 bushels
the chaldron weighs on an average 28fr cwt. per chaidron,
or 881 b. per bushel (according to the quality of the coal),
which of late have been retailed at Is. 2d. per bushel.
They are now selling them at ls. 10(1. and 21. per cwt ,
which is an imposition on the public of 4d. to 6d. per cwt.
Is not this abominable and vexatious to the poor man ?

SCARR MILL BURNT.—Friday evening,
about seven o'clock, Scarr-mill, a woollen-manufactory, at
Earlsheaton, near Dewsbury, was burnt to the ground.
We have not heard the cause of the disaster, or the extent of
the loss —Leeds Mercury.

On the night of the 3d inst., a stack of straw,
the property of Mr. Siurrow. of Yoxall Wood-house.,
parish of Yoxall, was set on fire. A handsome reward is
offered for the discovery of the offender.—Staffordshire
Advertiser.

Since the preceding paragraph was written,
the alarming intelligence has been brought to this town of
a fire at a farm-house in the village of Seighford, occupied
by Mr. T. Al,lssm., a small farmer. The dwelling-house
and out-buildings were entirely burnt down. The fire
took place about seven o'clock on Friday night. The bulk
of the furniture was saved. A quantity of oats were de-
stroyed. The only live stock burnt were two calves. It
is hoped that the fire may have been accidental, yet there
is some reason to conjecture otherwise.

IRON.—At the late quarterly meeting of iron-
masters in this town, there was no alteration in the
nominal prices of iron from the quotation of last quarter;
but on some particular descriptions of manufactured iron
a trifling advance has been obtained..--Mid/and Repre-
sentative.

The Chronicle of this morning says—" Our
Bristol Correspondent states that the general
feeling in that city is, that though the Magistrates
endeavoured to throw the whole responsibility on
Colonel BRERETON, yet, if they had done their
duty, the melancholy events, of which he has
been the victim, would not have taken place. It
certainly does not appear that the Magis-
trates displayed the energy and courage
which the conjuncture demanded. We trust
that the matter will not be allowed to rest,
hut that a full inquiry will be instituted."
A " full" inquiry is indeed the only thing that
can satisfy the public mind. It is not just—it
is not generous that the Military Powers should
be made the scape-goats. The conduct of the
Magistracy should be rigorously, most rigorously
inquired into ; and, above all, that singular fact
should be explained, how it happened that the
civil authorities, notwithstanding they had made
such preparation on the onset to put down
disturbance, were one and all found wanting,
when that disturbance had assumed an appalling
character. As Parliament meets this day, we
hope no time will be lost, and that some spirited,
independent Member will take up the matter
seriously and resolutely, and insist on justice
being done to all parties.

The intelligent Correspondent of the Morn-
ing Chronicle, " 0. P. Q.," scrutinizes with
much but just severity the avaricious con-
duct of LOUIS PHILIP, with regard to the
Civil List, and the subserviency of M. PE..
RIER in granting forty thousand pounds a
year to the Duke of ORLEANS—a sum which
was only saved by four Ministerial votes. He
says—" After a discussion of no great im-
portance on this allowance to the young Duke
of ORLEANS, the Chamber of Deputies pro-
ceeded to the vote, when the numbers were as
follows :

Number of Deputies present
Absolute majority necessary 172
Number of Deputies for the vote
Number of Deputies against the vote l6B

Now, just mark these figures, and examine
them. Only three votes less for the measure,
and it would have been lost ! and the in-
come to the Hereditary Prince would have
been rejected. Take away the votes of the
Ministers who are Deputies and who voted
for the grant, and the Chamber refused
the allowance—for PERIER, BARTHE, Louts,
and DE RIGNY voted for the measure. Theis
the young Duke of ORLEANS, who ought to be,
and wouldhave been ifthe Revolution had not been
arrested, at the very head of France, and the Chief of
the young men and rising talent of the world,
and who would have been surrounded by the
people for his body-guard and his supporters, is
now obliged to beg for 40,0001. sterling, and
which would have been refused but for the votes
of four Cabinet Ministers."

Then again, with respect to the KING, he
adds Since the accession of Lowire 1-I°. ax,r-rw.
to the throne, he has been receiving every
month, on account of the future Civil List,
the sum of 60,0001. per month, which is at the
rate of eighteen millions of francs per annum. He
estimated his own services and deserts at this
amount, and calculated on receiving a similar
sum during the remainder of his reign. In this
respect his avarice has been defeated—his love
of money has been grievously disappointed, and
the Crown is not so valuable to him since he
has learnt, by a vote of the Chamber, that the
18 millions are reduced to 12. As the Charter
states that the Civil List is to be voted
during the whole of the reign, and as Louis
PHILIP ascended the Throne on the 7th of
August, 1830, he has consequently received
during the eighteen months which have passed the
sum ,of 20,0001. per month more than he is now
entitled to, and which makes for the eighteen
months the sum of 360,0001. which he is
bound to refund And be it remembered,
that during thirteen months of this eighteen, he
was residing at his private Palace in the Palais
Royal, spending very little more money than
when he was a subject of CHARLES X.—
keeping no Court,—and, therefore, unable,
with his mean and avaricious propensities.
to spend or give away any thing like the
sums received from the Treasury."
By this statement it appears that nine milr

lions were overpaid,-whieh' sum the Ministers
proposed to allow the KING ; but the Chamber
on coming to the vote decided otherwise :

For granting the nine millions
Against it

Majority against the King,
We hope this will teach his MAJESTY more
prudence in future.

The German Papers received this morning
state that the Pacha of EGYPT'S army had been
repulsed with great loss in an attempt to storm
St. Jean d'Acre ; but the account was hardly
believed :

VIENNA, JAN. 4,—News from Constantinople, dated
December 18, was received here yesterday, by which it
appears that the individual calling himself a Turkish Co-
lonel, who lately arrived here under the name of Achmed
Nadir Bey, has no full powers from the Sultan, and that
the Turkish Government knows nothing of any such
mission.

It has been discovered that the individual in question,
a Polish emigrant, only assumed this mask, in order to
reach France under that disguise: he has, therefore, again
received his liberty, and been told that the Austrian Go-
vernment are not accustomed to throw obstacles in the
way of persons who have fled from their country for po-
litical reasons.

By the same opportunity we have accounts from Con -
stantinople, that the Egyptian army had been repulsed
with great loss in an attempt to storm St. Jean d'Acre.
This is directly contrary to the accounts from Rhodes,
that Abdallah Pacha was ready to open the gates of his
fortress to the Egyptians.
To-day his Majesty was pleased to give a public au-
dience. His Majesty, by an autograph letter of recent
date, has been pleased to promote Lieutenant Field-
Marshal Count Hardegg and Count Klebelsberg to the
rank of Generals of. Cavalry ; and his Majesty's Aide-de-
Camp, Lieutenant Field-Marshal Von Kertschera, to that
of the Ordnance.

It seems that the post of President of the Aulic Council
of War will not be filled up at present. The duties will
be performed by the Vice.•Presideit ; and on impertant
occasions it is said that his Imperial Highness the Archduke
Lewis will preside.

Accounts from Olmutz say that nearly 200 Polish
officers have arrived there ; they are full of gratitude to
our Government for the treatment they have met with in
the Austrian territories, and most of them wish to be em-
ployed in our army. It is thought probable that this
much will be granted, on account of their exemplary good
conduct.

On the Ist of March the Austrian capital will celebrate
the conclusion of the 40th year of the reign of its beloved
Sovereign. Report speaks of important changes that are
to be carried into effect on that day.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A Paris Paper received by the mail this morning states
that by accounts from India, Russia is said to have formed
an alliance with the St.ith of Persia to reconquer Klaiva ;
also, that the Russian Cabinet. are negociating with the
Persians to obtain a passage to Herat, on the road to
Cabaul, and it is assured they have offered to the Persians
to repay them the expences of the last war, if the Persian
Court will suffer them to pass through the North of Persia.
Letters from Antwerp say, that the Dutch have taken
advantage of the prevailing south easterly wind, to resume
again their station at the Pepe-de-Tabac with ten gun
boats.

The letters from Brussels state that King Leopold has
gone to Ghent, accompanied by the French General
Bdßard.

Every English householder at Brussels has soldiers
quartered on him, and all the regiments are ready to
march at the beat of the drum, lest they should be taken
by surprise by the Dutch. _

Accounts from Trieste, dated Dec. 28, state " We may
expect to hear soon great events, which perhaps will put
in great danger the existence of the Grand Seignor, and
give to Mehemet great power in the Ottoman Empire ;
it is well known that he is in private correspondence with
several of the Pachas, who approve of his project in Syria,
great alarm prevails at Constantimople on the subject."
Letters from Marseilles, dated July 9, say that the
African Jew Judas Sabach, who was banished from Oran
by General Royer, has received orders from the Duke of
Rovigo to return to Algiers, for which port he has sailed.
Letters from Vera Cruz to the Bth November state that
on that day a very considerable conducts was to leave
Mexico. The merino sheep and the machinery from
France arrived safe.

It appears from a series of articles published in the
Gaze'te of Colombia, that there is a strong idea enter-
tained of a monarchy, while on the other hand a vigorous
-swoop* seem. to -he toads to curtail the power of the'
clergy. The Government has accepted the resignation of
the late Consul in the United States.
