TO LORD EXMOUTH,

O►n Me Honours paid hint by the UNivEaSITY of OXFORD.
When Oxford attached D.C.L. to your name,
'Twas an honour PELLICW, that you justly might claim;
Your skill all the world will esteem at a high rate,
Who hare taught Chi! Law in two dap to a Pirate.

On Wednesday Lord MELVILLE held a Levee at
his office at the Admiralty. There were present
Lord EXMOUTH, Admiral l'l.AmrtNT, and several
other naval officers. After the Levee, Lord ME1...-
v.IIAR left town for his seat at lsleworth.

The station of Admiral Sir CHARLES RoWLEY,
as Commander in Chiet at the Nore and the river
Medway, has been removed from Sheerness to
Chatham.

A letter from Dover, dated Oct. 30 (Wednes-
day), says—" Arrived this morning from Calais
transports, with shout GOO troops, discharged
and invalided men. The Countess of Elgin packet
also arrived this day front Calais with passengers.
The French packet L'lris, with the mail, and
the English pitcket Lord Duncan, with dispatches,
are expected this evening; and the King George
packet, with a mail for France, and Lord D1411611'1
extra packet, with n mail for Flanders, sail this
evening, if wind and weather permit, which has
as yet, to-day, prevented any vessel sailing for
Calais."

Yesterday the Fourth Annual Meeting of the
London Auxiliary Bible Society was held at the
Egyptian Hall in the Mansion-house, and was
attended by a great concourse of respectable cha-
racters of both sexes, and of all religious per-
suasions. Soon after I I o'clock, the Right [lnn.
the LORD MAYOR was called to the chair, and
many speeches were delivered, describing the pro-
gress of the institution, and recommending it to
further encouragement. Among the noble and
disfingui.lted individuals who took an active part
at the Meeting were, his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, Mr. VANsITTART, the MASTER
of the ROLLS, Mr. BUTTERAVoRTII, M. P. Alder-
man Bumf, &c. &c. The state of the Society
was represented to be most flourishing, and the
subscription at the doors was liberal.
ENGLISH OPERA.—Mr. A alloLD obtained a
license yesterday, at Hicks's Hall, to open the
Lyceum Theatre, for Dancing and Concerts, dur-
ing the Winter season. He was opposed-on the
part of Drury-lane and Covent-garden, but in
vain.

Madame Saetuf-and her troop are now at Calais.
She made her hrst appearance at the Theatre time
on Sunday night. The prices of the first circle
of boxes were raised from three to five francs, and
.ql.l,oler, parts in proportion. The House was
crowded with English.
The following is a t ranscript of a band.-bill wh'cb
Iris been room!, within this day or two, thrust nr-
der the door of public-houses at the East end of
the Town, in the mornings when the houses were
(genet!. Many of the citizens have considered it in
an alarming point of view ; others have deemed it
the wild effusion of an enthusiast ; smd others
again, ‘. a weak invention of the enemy." As it
is, we give it to the public. It has been deemed
expedient to send a copy of it to the Office of the
Secretary of State :
Barress, To Alms !—Break open fin gun and sword-
pawithrohere, and other likely places to find arms—
No Ilse vu lireod, &c.—No Castlereagh—off with his head.
N 0 National Dent—the whole country waits the signal from
London to fly to arms. Stand firm now or never.-.-N.ll.
Printed hills, containing further directions, will be circulated
as .il Si possible."
in several parts of Germany, deliberations have
been held respecting a centenarian celebration, in
1817, of the titeformation founded by LUTiiiilt,
in a manner worthy of the subject.
A Letusantie Paper states as follows :—" We
have been informed that some Swiss slaves at Al-
girls have obtained their liberty,..and returned. to
their own country, tinder circumstances which
create a lively interest. At first soldiers in the
second Swiss regiment, in the service of France,
made prisoners by the Spaniards in 1809, thrown
into Tarragona, transported to Melille, a Spanish
fort on the coast of Africa, where they languished
three years ; they thence deserted to the Moors,
who sold them several times, end, in flue, they
were conducted as slaves to Algiers, where they
groaned three years and a halt in the severest
captivity. Such was the condition of these unfor-
tunate -ereatm es, when, about the end of May
last, the DEY sent one of his 'inheres to Con-
stantinople, charged with different presents for
the GRAND &SIGNOR, and among others, with 12
lions and 2 tigers. The Swiss slaves were charged,
during the voyage, with the care of these animals.
They embarked them at the risk of their lives, but
arrived at their destination. When at Constanti-
nople, they were immediately reclaimed by the
Imperial Ambassador. hlis intervention succeed-
ed ; the Swiss obtained their liberty, and were
sent to Trieste, where the Swiss Consul provided
them with passports, and the means necessary for
their return to their country."
The example of an eminent master tradesman
in this town is highly praise-worthy, and, we
hope, will be extensively imitated. His general
complement of men is about 40, and finding it
necessary, from the pressure of the times, to dis-
charge at least one-sixth of this number, he very
wisely and humanely preferred reducing the whole
to the employment of
only five days in each week,
by which means more than half a dozen families
are saved from indigence, and the whole are still
comfortably provided for.--(Liverpool Courier.)
The barracks at Sheerness are undergoing an
extensive repair and additions, it is said, will be
made for the accommodation of more soldiers than
are at present stationed there, instead of quarter-
ing them four and five on each public-house. The
reason assigned for this meastne is, that there are
nearly one thousand convicts employed in the im-
provements carrying on in the Dock-yard, whence
arises a necessity for a sufficient Wive to guard
them.
