4"„,* One half of this great Work being now printed, the
Proprietors have the satisfaction of being able to announce,
what has been earnestly desired by many, a republication
in perfect volumes. To those persons who have not become
Subscribers to this Encyclopmdia, nor made themselves ac-
quainted with its peculiar and original plan, it may be ne-
cessary to state, that it will ultimately form three grand di-
visions, viz.—l. Treatises in every department of Science
and of Art, (classed in two Sub-divisions of Pure Science
and Mixed and Applied Science.)-2. History, with Bio-
graphy intertnixed.--.S. Miscellanies, arranged alphabeti-
cally, and comprising a Technical Dictionary, a Gazetteer,
and an Etymological Lexicon of the English Language.—
In every Part, as hitherto published, a portion of each of
these Divisions has been given, and the Reader has had the
advantage of enjoying, in every new fasciculus presented to
him, all the distinct features of the Work. Still, how-
ever satisfactory this plan has been to many, others have
been desirous of having perfect volumes ; and this wish is
now attainable by the completion of the First Volume of
the Work, comprising Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, and a
large portion of Mathematics. Price 21. 25., or on royal
paper, with proof-plates, Si. 12s.

REAL CHELTENHAM SALTS, MADE FROM THE
MONTPELLIER SPA WATERS..
MR. THONIPSON begs to inform the
Public that he has appointed Messrs. BUTLER,
Chemists, Cheapside, Corner of St. Paul's, London ; Sack-
vile-street, Dublin ; and Princes-street, Edinburgh ; Sole
Agents for the above Preparations, which will, in future,
have their names attached to the Government Stamp as a
security against the many spurious imitations now in cir-
culation.
Cheltenham, Jan. 1, 1629.

Letters have been received from the Island of
Terceira, of the 9th inst., which announce the arrival of a
part of the Portuguese Refugees at that Island from Ply-
mouth. The Island has now here 8,000 men well armed
and disciplined, with provisions for eighteen months, and
animated with the best spirit to the Constitutional system.
The Isabella, Brazilian frigate, was cruizing in the neigh-
bourhood of the Island, and no force that Don Miguel can
send against Terceira will now have any effect. It does
not appear that any British ship offered any molestation to
the troops landing.

We are informed by a gentleman, who states
the fact from personal knowledge, that the habits and ex-
penditure of the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland have
always been on a scale of princely magnificence. Thirty
thousand pounds were,the regular annual allotment for in-
ternal domestic arrangements, and twenty-five thousand
were assigned for the department under the controul of his
Grace's Master of the Horse. Without any reference to
what are commonly called polities, it is quite obvious that
an establishment of this nature, enhanced as it probably
will be by the necessity for display in the Representative of
majody, must be felt by the tradesmen of Dublin ; and in
all probability, more particularly as many of the nobility
and gentlemen of fortune may be thereby induced to make
that capital at least the occasional residence of themselves
and their families. All acconnts concur in eulogising the
affability and prepossessing manners of the Duchess, and in
the anticipation of a brilliant and fashionable attendance at
the Vice-regal Court.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF NORTHUM-
BERLAND.—In a London Paper of Saturday, appeared
the following paragraph :—" The Puke of Northumber-
land, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is gone back to
Alnwick Castle, for the purpose of bringing his family to
London immediately. His Grace will kiss hands next
week." It is probable from this statement, and the cir-
cumstance we are about to mention, that the Noble Duke
kit London late on Friday afternoon. At four o'clock on
Sunday morning, his Grace, in his travelling chatiot and
four, reached Ferrybridge (fifteen miles this side Don-
caster), having posted downwards from town during the
night; and, after changing horses, proceeded on his route
northward. Unfortunately, however, when arrived at
Hookmoor, between Ferrybridge and Aberiiird, but nearer
the latter place, either owing to the postillione mistaking
the centre of the highway iu consequence of the snow,
pr owing to the slipperiness of the footing and the
convexity of the road, the Duke of Northumberland's
carriaee reeled for some Nees, and in spite of all
the efforts to avert the catastrophe, at last fell over
on one side. His Grace, who was unattended, except by
a singe servant, we rezret to mention, received a slight
hurt on the shoulder by this accident, but con4idefing the
nature of the upset, and the serious damage done to the
chariot, be may be said to have very peovidentially escaped.
It was then about five o'clock, A.M. and as the frost was
intense, the unpleasant situation of the Noble I par-
ticularly after his night's fatigue, may be easily imagined.
But the exertions of the post-boys and his Grace', valet,
together with some casual assistance which happened to
become available, enabled the whole party to reswne their
journey in a short time The Duke of Northumberland
accordingly reached the clown jug, Bornughbridge, for
hrealif.st, where the landlord, Mr. Stott, administered
every possible comfort to his Noble Guest, and had the
. pannels of the. chariot, put in such a state of repair
as would enable his Grace to enjoy his travelling equipage
in safety for the rest of the way to Alawick Castle.--Leeds
