The following is an extract of a letter from
Turin, dated the 31st ult. received yesterday by
a mercantile house in the City :—" Our political
affairs are very secret; The old regime seems to
strive to become worse; in spite of the universal
discontent of the Italians. The march of the
Austrians on Naples is reckoned certain, and it
is doubted whether 'the effervescence of that
people can be stifled by the bayonets of the cold
North. You have undoubtedly read in the pub-
lic Papers the melancholy affair at 011 T Univer-
sity, compiled by the Ministers, and caused to
he inserted in the Official Papers ; it has exalt
geration for its basis, and,is marked with contra.
dictions. I can write no more ; my silence muse
explain itself. Oh t that we had the free bend:

Next Friday is the Anniversary Meeting of
" The Society for propagating the Gospel
„it
Foreign Parts," and we understand that thht
rent and distinguished prelate, the Lord Bishop
of Peterborough is to preach the annual Sermon
before the Society at Bow Church on that day,
It has often been expressed, as. a subject of regret;
that the proceedings of this excellent institution
are not made more generally known. Some
method should be adopted forgiving, early in the
spring, an abridgment or abstract of' the proceed-
ings of the Society for the past year, and not to
wait for the appearance of the Society's usual
publication, which is little' known beyond the
circle of the _Members of the Corporation. We
shall at all times be happy to lend our aid in that
respect, and to give every publicity to the pro-
ceedings of this Society, and of the Sister Corpo-
ration in Bartlett's Buildings, free of charge ; as
we truly appreciate their value and importance
both at home and abroad ; besides it will dispel
much of the delusion which prevails respecting
these institutions, and rescue their members from
those unjust charges of supineness and indiffe-
rence which have been, on mistaken grounds, too
long suffered to prevail.
Lord CASTLEREAGH, we are happy to state, is
much better ; his Lordship has had a slight at-
tack of the gout, by which he was prevented
from 'doing the honours of his table on Satur
day last.

Lord C. C. C.lvENTnisn has pest addressed the
Freeholders of Sussex, declaring his intention
of again offering hirnsel 1 a Candidate to repre-
sent that County in Parliament the first oppor-
tunity that oilers.

Lord Cor.ranss was lately robbed of his gold
repeater, chain and seals, on the Surrey side of
Westminstet Bridge, whilst he was at a, bull-
baiting. This daring act was committed in open
day by a ruffian, who took advantage of the mo-
mentary retirement of his Lordship to a neigh-
bouring field, and instantly disappeared among a
gang of pickpockets. His Lordship offered ten
pounds to any, person who would produce the
%vetch.

SIR FR kNCIS BURDETT.--P-A Meeting was yes •
terday held at the Crown and Anchor Tacern,
of the principal followers of Sir FR iNCIS Bun-
DETT, headed by Mr. Jolts CAM HounousE. A
resolution was come to (which «•ac the purpose of
the Meeting,) to defray by subscription, the fine
to which their leader has been sentenced. Among
the speaker?, WooLER (having some dreary
prospects before him,) proposed that all the sur-
plus money when the fine is paid, shall be applied
to the relief of individuals who are incarcerated
for political offences.

Ai severe shock of an •earthytake was .expe-
rienced at Zante, on the 9-oth of December; by
which several houses were thrown down, and
seven lives lost.

, . TWOPENNY POST. ..
Me. EDITOR—L•Can you informyoUr Readers
why Newspapers are not allowed to be sent free
by the Twopenny Post?—lt is a serious injury
to the. stamp revenue, and a great inconvenienco to
many persons living within the limits of the Two-
penny Post. It is-said, that they are only liable
to be charged a penny, though I- know frequent
'instances of the full rate of postage being charg-
ed—.-but even a pe;znii is a large additional charge
on a dai/sPaper. tvally think, if the Proprie-
tors of the London Newspapers were to apply to
the Post Masters General, or to the Lords of the
Treasury, they would see the.advantages to be
' derived to the Stamp Revenue by adopting this 1
suggestion, without making any increase of
charge to the Post-Officf..---If the Papers were
to pass through,tlie Twopenny. Post free of duty,
they could be sent off in the morning at eight,
o'clock, and in, the afternoon at three o'clock,
and the increased circulation within ten Miles of
London would lye soon felt at the Stamp-Office.
• It is to be observed that the privilege of a
Member is not available within the limits of the
Twopenny Pont.
