the most respectable inhabitants-and householders
'of the Ward of Farringdon-Within, T. BAIN-
_BRIDGE, Esq. in-the Chair, took place yesterday
at the London Coffee-house, where they adopted
a Loyal Declaration, m hichin the course of a very.
short time received between 60. and 70 signatures.

A Public Meeting 'was held in the Public
'Office at Barnsley, on Thursday last, for taking
into consideration the propriety of presenting a
dutiful and loyal Address of Fidelity and
'Attachment to the King and our venerable .Con-
,stitution, which was attended by most of the re-
!,spectable inhabitants of the town, Some Radical
Orators attended, and complained, though the
Meeting had been advertised several days, that
they had not received sufficient notice. An Ad-
'dress was agreed to, and has been signed by all
the principal, and nearly the whole of the re-
spectable inhabitants. There will be a public
dinner at Barnsley this day ; after which a silver
-cup, with suitable inscriptions, will be presented
to each of the constables, for their zealous, laud-
.able, and indefatigable exertions, in suppressing'
the late insurrehtidns in that town and neighbour-
hood,--(Leeds intelligencer, Dec. 18.) •

On•the 10th inst. a fishing boat, named the
" Partridge," of SaUdgate, was seized, with
seventeen cases of tobacco,-most ingeniously con-
cealed under her lining. It was not found until-
all the nets, ballast, and bulk-heads were re-
, moved, and the lining ripped up ; and it is pre-
. sumed very specific information must haVe been
given of the place of -concealment. There is no
doubt that similar frauds have been committed to
a great extent; and the. Revenue offiCerS are active
in their endeavours to discover them.
Accounts. from Madrid,- of the 4th instant,
state positively, that the ratification of the Flo-
rida Treaty had left that- city by a
,Messenger,
'rho was to take shipping .at Bourdeaux.
From The Bombay. Courier of the •15th of
:—The accounts from Trincomalee, by the
late arrival, give us the gratifying assurance that
the insurrection in Kandy has been completely
subdued, the Rebel, Chief, KABEKADUWEE, was
delivered up by some natives of the north-east
part Of Mateli, and, in fact, • that the whole
island of Ceylon is in a state of perfect tran-
quillity. •
Nesterday the Duke DE CAZES and Madame
DE PIENTEU, his Excellency's Sister, arrived at
their residence in Portland-place, from their seat
at Harrow on • the Hill. After his Excellency
. had transacted business, and dispatched the
French Messengers, they partook of a sumptuous
dinner with the Count and Countess LIEFEN;BI
their residence in Harley-street. After dinner
they set 'tint again for their seat at Harrow.
Letters from Liverpool state, that the ship
Merchant, for New Orleans, had upwards of ten
feet water in her hold. She had gone into dock,
and was discharging crates and a few dry goods;
the remainder of her cargo 'consisted of salt,`• and
iron. No doubt she will be condemned. It is
supposed she has . broken her back.—Letters,
likewise from Liverpool, mention the 'failure of
an extensive house there.

• DREADFUL DENTEI. OF NALDI.—NALDI, the
celebrated Opera performer, we regret to state,
was accidentally killed at Paris on Friday last.
The,following• account of this melancholy event
is•given in the Paris Papers of Saturday last :
" Yesterday (Friday) evening, at half-past six
o'clock, M. NALDI, buffo-performer at the
Opera, met an untimely death by the bursting of
a self-acting cooking apparatus. M. NALDI was
invited to dine with his colleague, M. GARCIA,
whop agreeably to his wish, shewed him this novel
operation of cooking, when the. former impru-
dently stopped the heat regulator; an explosion
instantly took place, and the lid severed the skull
of M. NALDI, and laid him dead on the spot.
Al. GARCIA received a wound on the head, but
it is hoped that it is not dangerous. NALDI had
made his first appearance about two months ago.
In ltis youthlie was one of the first buffos in
1; aly."

John Jennings, tf the 7th Dragoon Guards, who was ar-
raigned upon the nnder-mentioned Charges, viz. •
" Ist. For having, between the 25th of June, and the 24th

the 24th of March, 1920, inserted charges in the pay-list for
that period,amounting in the whole to 2851. 10s, lid. although
it appears by the certificates of the captains of troops that
the same was not paid, thereby making it appear, that upon
that account there was a balance due to him by the public
of 301. 18s. 4d. whereas in'fact there was a balance. due by
him to the public of 2541. 12s. lid.
" 4th. For having; between the 25th of December, 11319,
and the 24th of March, 1820, embezzled or misapplied the

pion Guards, for 4,957 rations of oats, supplied to their

city a Paymaster of the 7th Dragoon Gourds."
Upon which chaiges the Court came to the following,.de-
cision • .

" The Court having deliberately considered the charges
preferred against Pitymaster John Jennings, olthe 7th Dra•--
goon Guards, the admission of t he.prisouer, the evidence and
statements on both sides, with the whole procedure, is of opi-
nion that he is Guilty ot,a misapplication of the several imps,
as stated in the different charges, in breach of the articles of
War ; and does therefore sentence the prisoner, the said Pay-
Master John. JenningS, to be dismissed from his Majesty's
service, and to wake good the several sums so misapplied-by
him.

The Court is satisfied, that the prisoner had no fraudu-
lent or improper int,•ntion in inserting in the pay-list, for tile
period from 25th Deceniber, 1819, to 24th March, 1820, the
charges making an apparent balance in his favour as men-
tioned in the third charge, as the said Pay List, when trans-
mitted by him to the War Office, Was accompanied by.a state-
ment from himself, as well us by certificates from the several
Officers commanding troops, skewing how the balance actually
stood.- ' •
- •
" The Court, on a review of the very high testimonials
produced in favour of the prisoner, from such respectable
soueces", also his long services and the destitute situation ot
his numerous family, entirely dependent on him, beg leave
to recommend the prisoner to his Majesty's favourable consi-
deration." ,

_ .
I have to acquaint' yon, that his Majesty'was pleased to ap-
prove and confirm the.finding and sentence of the Court ;
but, in consideration of the earnest recommendation of the
Court in favour of the pisone,r, of the strong testimonials
from every superior Officer of the Regiment, which he pro-
duced, his long services, and of various circumstances which
appeared upon the face of the proceeding's, in mitigation of
the crime with Which he was charged, his Majesty was most
gracitiusly pleased to extend his pardon to the prisoner, Pay-!
toaster John Jennings; of the 7th Dragoon Guards, and to
command in lieu of the punishment awarded by the Court,
that he shall make good the several stuns misapplied by hint,
and shall be placed upon half-pay.
I ant, Sir, yours, FREDERICK, Commander-in-Chief.

_Commanding the Troop, in North Britain.

DUBLIN; DEC. i 3.—The following Orders were
issued by General Sir J. ELLY, after his late in-
spection of the 2.3 d Fusileers at Ennis :

" The inspection of the 43d Royal Welch Fusileers Regi-
Ment, will affuid Majnr-General Sir John Elly the pleasing
opportunity of reporting must favourably on every point, whe-
ther of discipline or interior economy, connected with that
corps. -
Lieutenant Colonel Pearson has brought the Regiment,
by his ability and good judgment, to such a state of perfection
.in field exercise, and of good conduct in quarters, as to entitle
hint to particular commendatiOn. '
" The Field Officers, Captains, and Subalterns gave every
proof of zeal and particular attention in the execution of the
several duties required of them; and the latter, by the cor-
rect state of Poe CoMpanies/ book, appear to consult the best
interests of the men committed to their charge. . . .

" The Major-General emuld not but he. ;stisficd with the
conduct of the- several Staff Officers, and whose 'books, for
accuracy do them great credit.
" The Major-General .requests that Lientenant-COlonel
Pearson will be pleased to convey. to the Non-Commissioned
'Officers and-Privates, his entire approbation of their steady
and soldier-like appearance under arms, and the good charac•
ter which marks their conduct in quarters, circumstances
which folly explain the infrequency of punishment, and must
prove a source of much satisfaction to. every one connected
with a corps so highly respectable and distinguished. • .
(Signed) ELLY, Major-General."
On Tuesday last, Major-Genetal Sir Sydney Beckwith,,com-

inspection into the state of the bmiks, barracks, and interior
economy of the Regiment, afterwards took place, which af-
forded the most perfect satisfaction, and drew forth the ap!.
pro Val of the General. The first division of the 40th Regi-
