Of late, when the Greenland bound ships had set sail,
And the shot at Lord Wellington happen'd to
A strange dearth of topics began to prevail.
No subject was offered to interest fashion,
No touching new mania, or whimsical passion:
The Beau had exhausted his patterns of dress,
And Lord Byron's fourth Canto was still in the press.
While the world look'd and languisli'd in silent attention,
Sonic clever soul hit on a famous invention—
"l'is a tithe wade of brass, pewter, copper, or tin,
With a hole at one end of it where you look in,
And see—gracious heavens !—you see such a sigh*.
Should I try to describe it 'twould take me all night,

The exquisite figures and colours you can see
NO painter can copy, no poet can fancy,
You see—what uu►st all you're before seen surpass,
You sec—soave small old broken pieers of glass.
Need I tell you indeed that with such preparation,
So lovely a bauble has caused a sensation.
I doubt whether Bilbognet, monarch of toys,
Or the Devil himself ever made such a noise;
'Tis the favourite play-thing, of school-boy and sage,
Of the baby in arms and the baby of age,
Of the grandam whose sight is at best problematical,
And the soph who explains it by rule mathematical,
Of the saint who in vain tries to laugh at and mock it,
Yet, ten to one, carries a brace in his pocket.
All are bit in their turn, from the belles who have borne it
I'm told to the Op'ra instead of a lorg'sette.
To the cripple who makes them '' so pretty and cheap,"
And hawks them about at " a penny a inep."

Such indeed is the rage for-them, vhapcl or church in
You see them about you, and each title urchin
Finding a sixpence, with transport beside his hope,
Runs to the tin man, and makes a " KALEIDoscorE."

We are happy in being able to contradict the
Report of the loss of the Mermaid schooner, on
the coast of New South Wales, in March last.—
On the contrary, some inteesting dispatches have
been received at the Admitilty from Lieutenant
KING, her Commander, deed from Timor, in
Java, from which it appears, hat Lieut. KING had
succeeded in examining the whole of the North-
western Coast, and particulaty that part behind
Rosemary Islands, where DAISFIER thought there
was a Strait or some great Ryer ; but he found
none. At the bottom of 61 Dieman's Bay,
however, he fell in with three benches of a river,
forming an extensive Delta, ant proceeded 50 or
60 miles up one of them, at wich place it was
about 150 yards wide. The whole Country

MR. Ent-roa,—As matters on the Continen
arc now settled, and an alliance formed, that will,
it ii sincerely hoped, be pronuctive of peace and
happiness to the nations for many years to come,
it hecomes, therefore, necessary for us now to
look into our affairs at home, and, by saving and
collecting outstanding debts, to reduce the balance
ch,tt has been accumulating for upwards of 20
years, by rapid additions, ag;tiost Our Country; in
so doing, it is paying proper attention to a nation's
interest, which has so liberally and generously,
though not conveniently, (to use a Bankers
phrase) overdrawn its account, to give freedom
to the world, and which it has also by its
noblest blood achieved.
The Fund mentioned at the top of this article
is a debt outstanding, and due to this Country by
the Austrian Governor. nt, and amounts to no less
! a sun% than 7,502,6331. Gs. Sd., which commenced
i so long ago as the year 1795, of which sum not
a sixpence has been paid either of principal or in-
terest,, (not to mention 230,0001. of Imperial
'l'ertninable Annuities, created at the same time,
and which expire the 30th of April next). It is,
' therefore, high time that some step should be
taken to get part, at least, of this just and lawful
claim liquidated. The Austrian Government is
,I. now in better circumstances, and it is but reason-
; I able that the Austrian people should now bear the
burtheu, and not ours, who have borne it long,
and without a murmur. There was a talk some
time ago of their giving us wood—what ! give
us wood to pay a debt of seven millions and a
half, nonsense !
" We will have our Bond."
It would certainly be highly satisfactory to
know if any arrangement bas been entered into
with the Austrian Government at Aix-la-Chapelle
regal ding this debt.
Some of your valuable Correspondents may
ptobably be able to throw some light on this
subject.

his Lord,hip's wheel did not touch that of )Ir.
Tooke's. The groom stated that Mr. Tooke
pilled in to give way, and then directed his horse
back again—an allegation which was contradicted
by nine witnesses ; and by their testimony it ap-
peared that Loid C. S. Churchill was delving

a furious rate, or at all events, according.to all
the f‘ffidarits and witnesses, M an improper tate.

lel chaises in a road only 22 feet wide ; a fact
which evinced a degree of impatience and impe-
u.,it,/, which none could he guilty of who had
the least regard for others, or the smallest spallt
of humanity. Jones, in his deposiiion hetore
the Coroner, had stated, that the Gentleman at-
remping to pass was in the wrong. Mary Smith,
another witness, deposed, that the Gentleman was
driving so last, that site had said to a companion
at the time, " au accident 1111151 happen."

fhe other side, he had been instructed to suite
(and that was the grounl on which the rule was
granted), that there had been no impropriety in
die conduct of Lord Charles Spencer Churchill,
when, in truth, all the deponents had blamed
him. Such were the depositions before the Co..
roner ; he (Mr. Gurney) would now show what
I the libel was, and how it was iustified.

libel, which consisted of a letter, purporting to
be from J. V., and giving an account of the tran-
saction.

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 20.

Wiliam Greenwood, Esq. B.A. of Corpus Christi College,
was on Tuesday last elected a Fellow of that Society.
The Kes% John Croft, M. A. Fellow of Christ College on
the foundation of Sir John Finch and Sir Thomas Baines, was
on Wednesday last elected a Fellow of the same society on the
foundation of King Edward the 6th.

The Rev. Itichtd Haggitt, B. A. of Clare Hall, was on
ednesday elected a Fellow of that Society.
Edwin Co!pian Tyson, Esq. B.A. of Catharine Hall, was
on Tuesday se'nnight elected a Shirne Fellow of that So-
ciety, in the room of the Rev. Richard John Geldart.

A Highland woman, who was begging a cha-
rity of a Lowland Laird's Lady, was asked seve-
ral questions, and, among the rest, how many
husbands she had had ? To which she answer-
ed, three. And being further questioned if
her husbands had been kind to her, she said the
two first were honest men and careful of their fa-
mily, for they both died for the law—that is, were
hanged for theft. " Well, but as to the last ?"
" Hoot !" says she, " a filthy peast ! he de'ed at

stances of peculiar advantage. Ihe fish caught
in the seas of Africa are superior in flavour and
variety to those of any other region and may he
preserved at a very small expence, for " salt may
be procured from the salt lakes, which are of such
extraordinary strength, that any animal food, im-
mersed three or four times, will. imbibe such a
portion of saline matter as will preserve it for al-
most any length of dine in any climate." (3)
The fruit trees of the colony (including • those
which are natural to the soil, and those which
[lave been introduced at the Cape with infinite
success), are " the vine, the apple, the cherry,
the plum, the peach, the nectarine, the apricot,
the fig, the orange, the lemon, the citron, the al-
mond, the chesnut, the wild plum, the wild al-
mond, &c. besides a wood which grows in the
mountaius, and from which is extracted a rich
syrup for sugar. The ground fruits are, muse
melons, water melons, &c " (4)
The country already abounds in wild cattle of
general utility, sheep, Oats, and hogs ; and
poultry of every description may be raised with-

MANCIIf,STER,

A strong detachment of the 901 b Foot arrived
bete yesterday, from Chester, which place they
left on Thursday afternoon.
„
Monday there was. au assemntage of several
thousand fpinuers in the neighbourhood of Ox-
ford-road, but they tuaniftsted no disposition to
disturb the public peace by any acts of violence;
for, after holding a consultation for some hours,
they gradually dispersed.
Stockport and its neigilbonrhood ate still in a
eat* os tJpteet tranquillity; hut with all thrse
appearantes of peaceable demeanor, it is amazing
to observe how frequently of late the calamity of
fire has occurred in the manufactories in this
Veighbouthood.

Early on Saturday morning last a fire was dis-
covered in the printing works of Mr. W. Dixon,
at Collyhurst, near this town. It had gained
such power when first perceited, by a man who
went to work at four o'clock, as to be nearly
irresistible. The most active measures were im-
mediately taken, and the
.most prompt assistance
rendered to stop its progress ; but noiwithStand-
ing every effort, property to a considerable amount
was destroyed ; and we are sorry to add, the in-
surance on it was far beneath the value. The
cause of the misfortune is not ascertaioed.
- A rapid and destructive fire also broke out about
six o'clock on Monday evening, in the prentises,
No. 9, Back George-street, occupied by Messrs.
T. and J. Todd, and Messrs. Calvert. The entire
of the building was destroyed ; but by the excel-
lent management of the engines, and the good-
will with which a sufficient number of disinter.
esred persons assisted with energy, the adjoin-
ing property was preserved, as well as a con-
siderable quantity of manufacture&goods, &c.--
The fire is supposed to have been purely acci-
dental. How it originated is not known. The cash
end books of the occupiers were saved. We
are sorry to add,- that from an immense multitude
collected on the alarm, some disposition to irre-
gularity was manifested. Stones and mod were
thrown at several gentlemen, many of whom
felt their effects severely, and it was deemed ne-
cessary to read the Riot Act. Otte gentleman
bled copiously from a blow received on the lace.
But these turbulent proceedings. were not carried
to extremity ; anti at night all was quiet. A
troop of horse was mare,hed to the 'spot. The
building was not insured ; Messrs. Calvert, we
understand, will incur a loss ; but Messrs. Todst's
Insurance will exonerate them completely. .

manry Cavalry enter upon their annual permanent
duty of five days, on Monday next, in this town.

LORD NORBURY AND MR. S. TIGHE.

It anpears that Lord NC:AMUHY w& in ot peen-
iiirr humour for speaking at the iintiping oti-i the
Mullingar Assizes, and that amidst j-kes and
puns beyond number, and allusions to local and
foreign transactions, ancient and mod,. rn his-ory,
he intioduccd in his address to the Grand Jury
some severe anitnadversions on a speven delkered
by Mr. STERILE 'IIGHE, at sbe recent Election for
Westmeath Tioo Gentleman, w. s, as he HIWPVS
is, on the Grand Jury, and when th- Noble Judge
had conclude(?) he is reported to have said, than it
was a ihvy he owed himself and it s uomitry to tell
.the Noble Lord, that ttie mo'ives imputed to him
front the Bench were ill founded ; it was a friend
to the Constitution of his country and the rights
of the people, in principle and in comittct. He
knew his own privilege, and it was his duty to
support the freedom of election "
Lord NOR/SURY, ‘iVe are told, remarked in re-
ply, that " DU ma» bad a right to animadvert upon
what fell from a Judge, sitting as a Represen-
tative of Majesty on the bench ot justice, and
authorised by the King's Commission to charge
the Grand Jury of the County. He knew his own
dignity and high situation ; he Would support
both, and would not permit any man to' act with
indecorum or disrespect to him. Ile knew no-
thing of the person who had presumed to address
him, he did not know that such a person was on
the Grand Jury, but this he knew, that the Oen-
tleman arrogated too much consequence to him-
self."

Mr. TIGHE, nevertheless, replied in spirited
language.
Lord NORBURY said," he would not be spoken
to on the Bench ; the Gentleman might come to
him at the Chambers."

The dialogne here cutler!, and the Grand Jury
retired. As Mr. TIGHE appears to have satisfied
himself in Court, it is to be presumed that he de-
clined the invitation he got to visit the Noble
Judge's Chambers.—(Freeman's Journal.)

DISTURBANCEs AT MANCHESTER.

THE SESSIONS.
Ou Thursday, Jas. Haslam, Wm. Smith, Jnseph
Whittaker. jiha Gambeit, Rd. Haney, Wm. Irvin,
Patrick Barratt, and fames "lurner, were tried for
a riot, and a,sauft on the beadles of the [Own. It

appeared that on the 10th July, in consequence of
the number of person, assembling at Mr. Pollard's
, factory, near Ancoats-lone, anplication was made
Ni the Police for R•li.totoce. Four beadles went,
but finding the crowd (then about 300) so no-'
-memos, they agr:ed to 'eon). As swill as tney
turned they were shouted at, and when they had
got about fifty yards from the crowd they were
assailed with stouts from before and biehind.—
When they had got about two or three hundred
yards off, at the White [louse, they were again
attacked with stones ia great numbers. The
beadles advised them to go borne, about their bu-
sine,,s ; hut without cffect. The shootings con-
tinued, and as the beadles turned their faces from
the mob, they were again attacked repeatedly.—
The number had now increased to 700. The
beadles, going towards Ancoats-lane, wet e attack-
ed in the same way; they readied the King's Aims,
'where they rvnained some time; but finding the
mob gather round the house, they with difficulty
got out at the back door, and took shelter in the
White Hart public-house. The throwing of stories
. increased, and in many instances the beadles were
. hit; a stone, aimed. at oce of them as he was
-going into the White Hart, struck a young
woman and nearly killed her. Notice having been
sent to the Police, they remained bete a short
time, when finding that the windows were break-
ing, the beadles escaped out of the back door;
and got tats the Robin,Hood, in Newtnn-lane ;
this was about half-lust eight ; the mob amount-
ed to about 2000. They staid here till the M-4-
.
gistrates, police, and some of the militat y arrived,
and daring their stay therothe mob had increas-
-to about 3000. The object and cry of the mob
seemed to be to get the beadles turned out of the
'public-houses, that they might into their
bands. By the arrival of the Magistrates, _the
COOSitibles were enabled to apprehend some of the
mob who had been active; the defendants were
amongst these ; and, with the exceptionnf James
Ilaslam, were all taken on the spot. Haslam was
Seen at the new Bailey next morning, when k was
expected that the defendants would be brought tip
for examination ; and being instantly recognised as
having been active in the mob, he was apprehend-
ed. He endeavoured to prove an alibi, but his
witnesses contradicted each ()Hier so grossly, that
no credit could be attached to their testimony.
MI the defendants but James Turner were
found Guilty; he, it appeared, was very much in

°M ailing parties arc vaoiaLeil. The whole of the
one respectable factory were forced into
people of
idleness at the close of last week by such means.
They entreated to be employed, but, under such
circtansisinces.of constant irritation and infrac-
tion, the owners of the mill could not endure to
continue.

On Wednesday a dead rabbit, stripped of skin
and flesh, was hoisted on a lamp-iron in Deans-
gate, at the corner of the shambles, with a pla-
card underneath it, intimating that the spinners
would be !educed to that condition before they
would " come in." Thus the necessaries and
comforts of life become rejected.
„Another proprietor, Whose Work-people were
annoyed and insulted by a congregated body of
the disaffected, sent to the Police Office for pro-
tection to them, but before the means could ar-
rive, the assailants were off. All this, of course,
is according to a preconeerted system.
lOw long things will thus continue, time alone
can resolve. The Magistrates are alive to their
(Jury; additional troops are arrived, but it is to
be hoped that strong measures will not become
necessary for restoring to the inhabitants that se-
curity climb at present is so much invaded. There
is a reward of 5001. offered on conviction of the
parties whii.set fire to Messrs. Ormond and Hard-
castle's factory,..of Bolton ; and it is a singular
coincidence, that the cotton factory of Messrs.
Swainvone and Co. of Preston, took fire from a
cause not yet ascertained, ou the same night, and
tit about the same hour with the above. It was,
however, soon extinguished.

HABEAS CORPUS.

Mr. GAZELES moved for a Habeas Corpus, di-
rected to the keeper of Winchester gaol, com-
manding him to bring up the body of a person
committed to his custody under Lord Elleubo-
rough's Act, for shooting at a person named in
the warrant. The'defendant was next door neigh-
bour of a house wherein some persons had be-
come intoxicated at a bean-feast, and being dis-
turbed in his rest, he had requested the parties
to make less noise. This produced an aggrava-
tion of the evil, and the parties, instead of stub.
cluing their noise, attacked the defendant's door
with stones. Irritated by this proceeding, he
presented a blunderbuss loaded only with gun-
powder, and the trigger being struck with a
stone, the piece went off, burst, and shattered
one of the defendant's. own kands sa iitnc4„that
be was obliged to undergo amputation. islkiother
person was injured ; and for the offence of firing
at the assailants.above merwioned, he was appre-
hended aunt committed to Winchester gaol. The
affidavits stating the above facts being read,
The Court granted the Writ.
CORONERS' FEES.

Mr. Janvis and Mr. CROSS shoved cause against
a Rule for a Mandamus directed to the Justices of
Oxfordshire, commanding theni to pay ,to Mr.
Cecil, one of the Coroners of the County, cer-
tain travelling allowances tot returning from in-
quisitions held by virtue of his Office. The ques-
tion was one of considerable importance as to the
construct-ion of the 25 Geo. 11. c. 29. a. I. name-
ly, whether by virtue of that Act, which provides
" That for every mile which he or they shall he
compelled to travel front the usual place of his or
their abode, to take such Inquisitions, he or they
shall he allowed the further sum of 9;1. over and
above the said sum of 205." the Coroner shall be
allowed 9d. per mile in returning, ifter he has
held his Inquisition.
Mr. TAUNTON was heard in support of the
Rule, and

The COURT held, that thiJnetregilid right in
disallowing any- travelling expences in returning
iron► the Inquisitions, and discharged the Rule,
with costs.

ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN.

Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of the
Ward of Cheap took place at St. Lawrence's
Church, for the purpose of electing a fit and pro-
per person to serve as Alderman of the Ward, in
the room of Samuel Goodbehere, Esq. deceased.
The LORD MAYOR having taken the Chair,
Mr. JAMES proposed Richard Bothwell, Esq.
citizen and fishmonger.
Mr. HODSON seconded the nomination.
Mr: GIBSON proposed Sir Thomas Bell, and
was seconded by Mr. WEATHERSPOON.
Sir THOMAS BELL withdrew his pretensions,
asshring the Meeting, that had he been aware of
Mr. Rothwell's intention to stand for the vacant
gown, he should not for a moment have enter-
tained a thought of opposing a person so well
known and so much beloved by the inhabitants of
the iVard. Sir Thomas then left the Meeting,
amidst great applause.
A spew of hands having taken place, the LORD
MAYOR declared Richard Bothwell, Esq. duly
elected.—Mr. ROTtIWELL returned thanks.

Mr. GIBSON then moved a Resolution, that the
Ward had sustained a severe loss by the death of
Alderman Goodbehere, whose sound judgment,
ardent liberality, indefatigable industry, and urba-
nity of manners, endeared him to the inhabitants
of the Ward, and that bis death was not only a
loss to thelVard but to the nation.

Mr. JAMB believed that all the praise bestowed
upon Alderman Goodbehere WAS properly be-
stowed ; he however considered the zeal of Mr.
Gibson had gone too far in describing the loss to
be a national one.

Mr. GIBBON withdrew the part objected to, and
limited the extent of the loss to the City of
London.—The Resolution was then carried unia-
nicaously.

PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENt:E.

PARIS, Nov. 14.—M. ETIENNE, in his article
in The Minerve, proves himself to be not only a
bad politician and unfaithful narrator of events,
but also a bad citizen, and the reverse of what
ought to be understood by the word Patriot, a
title which he adorns himself with its a person
would with a mask and domino, in order to con-
ceal who and what he is. He endeavours all in his
power to increase the alarm relative to the French
Funds, and to make it general by disseminating
it throngh France. He abuses the Minister, amid
accuses him of their rapid fall, and presents M.
LAFITTR like a preserving angd, who Opposes the
shield of his wealth and power against the wouuds.
of the genius of mischief. He says it is all owing
to the Minister having given the loan of the 24
millions of Rentes to foreigners ! ! We know not
in what class of society he can find any person
capable of believing so ridiculous an assertion,
so palpable an absurdity, What, when the
French Capitalists cannot fill up the small loan of
fourteen millions—when to pay the instalments
the Minister has been obliged to furnish the
money hitusell—when to keep up an imaginary
credit as an object of speculation, the Bank
of France has discounted for, it is said, 120 mil-
lions of Stock Debentures, and exhausted all its
resources, so that it can no longer discount, ex-
cept in a very trill ng ‘vay—when the Bankers,
Stock-brokers, and Stock-holders, all enter into
a written agreement not to sell, and the Funds
still fall, front the sole cause of so much capital
beiug subtracted from circulation to pay the Al-
lies, (we speak of the loan of 14 millions,) we
are to attribute this fall to the cause of their not
having 24 millions of Rentes in addition, to pay to
the Allies, or about IS millions sterling—when,
we say, there is not money enough in the coun-
try to pay 10 millions sterling, without making
all sorts of sacrifices, he pretends to assert that
they would feel less embarrassment in paying 28
millions than ten !! !

There are resources, and ample ones, in this
dreadful crisis for the Capitalists ; but neither M.
ETIENNE, nor any Writer in his Pamphlet, can
even guess at them. The Government is awake
to the evil, and it it will throw off its inaptitude,
all will yet be well; but it depends on the mea-
sures to he taken before the end of the present
mouth, when, we trust, the losses will be li-
mited to the Stock Jobbers.

MODERN 11 EFOR

There is an old saying that " when rogues fa''
out honest men come at the truth " It appear
that great feuds have broken out among the Spen
cean and Spa -fields Politicians. " A Committee
had been formed for managing the Subscription.
for the relief of Sufferers under the late Suspensio,
Act." An account of these feuds is given in
seditious Weekly Publication, in which it is vat •
ed that about 14001. had been collected for t! e
aforesaid purpose, but had been distributed wit
gross partiality. To the two EvaNsF,s, hopefol
father and son, from two to three hundred pound
had been allotted, though their sufferings, as they
style the imprisonment brought upon themselvo
by their own misconduct, have not been grease
than those of others in " the Glorious Cause" ot
sedition. Dr. \VATSoe, THISTIRwooD, Pas
TON, and Hooper,. have probably not been pet-
mitted, like the infernal agents of mimic life,
Macbeth, to " share the gains." Hence they an
indignant, and with reason, against the EvaNsas.
%rho have had so large a portion of the contrihu
butions of folly and mischief. An appeal on chi-
subject was made to the aforesaid Committee, in
a letter, dated the 20th of last July, signed by •
CARR, MOGGRIDGE, HoLL, and BRETTELL,
no doubt, profound Politician, and zealous Re-
formers, but no answer having been given, a se-
cond letter, signed by the same persons, dated
Sept. 12, an interval quite sufficient it might be
conceived to admit of full explanation, was ad-
dressed to the said Committee. It seems that tbi.
Committee had given five pounds to a man named
Kaata, a greater sufferer in the " Glorious Cause"
titan the Evassas, and though he had since ap-
plied to this Committee for farther assistance, no!
a farthing more could he gain. The persons who
signed the letters in question then properly ask,
" Why have the EVANSES been a warded the stint
of three hundred pounds, and Mr. Kee,a; hut
five ?" Other persons are stated to have receiv
from ten to fifteen or twenty pounds, and in one
instance, to a man named BENEtow, seventy-five
pounds were given ; but this award is said to
have been made " to give some colour of justness
to the larger sums granted to others," amounting
altogether to three hundred pounds more, so that
the sum of eight hundred pounds remained in the
hands of this disinterested Committee, who have
not given any account of its distribution. Upon
the whole, it appears that the differences between
this band of Reformers is not on account of po- •
litical opinioes, but bccame the complainants
have not been suffered to share in the spoil, Such
are the men who profess to come forward wit
public spirit and a desire to mitigate the sufferings
of the people of the British Empire, the haps
pest on earth, and to new-mould our unrivalled
Constitution opoa the principles of those Re-
formers who overthrew the ancient Monarchy of ,
:Trance, who spread carnage tool desolation ,
throughout that Country, destroyed the Govern-
ment of other States, and shook the political
system of all Europe.

The former give long details of the hunting ex-
cursion at Itan►bouillet on Tuesday last, for which
considerable preparations had been made. The
KING, in a bunting dress, followed the chace
a chaise. In the course of a previous hunt, very
early in the morning, the Duke de BERRY and his
attendants caught two deserters in the forest, to
whom the KING subsequently, on coming out to
the ellace, granted a pardon. His MAJESTY, on
Wednesday morning, returned to St. Cloud, and
afterwards presided at a Council-of Ministers.

General. CANUEL is stated to have summoned
