G4ASGOW, DECEMBER 14.

3/4 OPERATIVE COTTON-SPlxEns..--Yesterday, pursuant
to advertisement, the cotton mills, which have been
so long standing idle, were thrown open to commence
spinning, but we learn that none of the operative cotton
spinners returned to work. Before six o'Clock in the
morning, numbers of them assembled around the diffe-
I flit mills, but chewed no disposition to. resume their
labour. In some instances the) offered threats to a few
individuals who advanced to work, remarking to them,
.r what could they do again -1 SOO men ?" and hinting,
that if they persisted in entering the mills to work, they
nou!d be " VITRIOLED." Some acts of violence were
committed yesterday. Windows were broken in diffe-
rent places, and one man was severely cut. A number.'
of new hands were ready to come forward to work, but
they have all beep► intimidated by the threatening, of
the operative spinners. This morning the mills continue
!O be surmunded by bands of the latter, hissing and
throwing stones at every one who appears to approach
,the mills with the intention of proceeding to wo► k.
An amicable arrangement has been effected between
the journeymen shoemakers and their employers, in Pais-
ley—the operatives having returned to their work at
the advarce of wages offered them by their masters be-
fore the strike.
Thursday, Peter Kelly and Janes Corson were tried
before the Magistrates of Paisley, for a violent and un-
provoked attack on the persons of George Phillips, cot-
ton-spinner, and Margaret Phillips, his wife, in Cale•
donia-street there, on the evening of Sunday the 7th of
last month; when the assault having been most clearly
and distinctly proved against them, they weie each sen-
tenced to 90 days' confinement in Bridewell.

SHIP CANAL

The Report of Mr. Telford, read at the Meeting on
Thursday, stated, that, in company with Mr. Green, a
Gentleman well acquainted with the localities of De-
vonshire, he had examined the isthmus forming the
Cornish and Devon peninsula, to ascertain what was
the quality of the ground, and whether there would be
an adequate supply of water, as well as the aspect of
the shore on both sides. He had applied to Captain
Nicholls, for his assistance as to the two outlets for the
Canal, and that Gentleman had accordingly made his
Report. Mr. Telford divided his Report into five
heads : Ist, the line of canal ; 2d, the supply of water;
3d, the piers, docks, harbours, Scc. 4th, the expenses
' that would be incurred ; and sth, general observations.
With respect to the first, he pointed out minutely the
different advantages and disadvantages that would be
derived from the line proposed. Passing on to the se.
cond, he marked the spots where reservoirs might be
advantageously formed, and in what manner the stream
should be conducted to the Canal. For the third, he
proposed in all thirty locks, with eight feet rise to each,
and at either outlet, the formation of a tambour, with
pier heads running into the sea, so as to admit vessels
of 200 tons at any period within an hour of low water,
his estimate was as follows:

I. Earth work, including cutting, embanking on
the whole of the main line; about two lines of
feeders, and four reservoirs - 515,708 0 0
2. Masonry to locks, bridges, aqueducts, culverts,
and reservoirs

HATTON-GARDEN.

Tent MAD ACTOZ DIA New Liar ter Bosetess.—Mr. B. F. Flower-
dew, one of the most eccentric most unfortunate, and (strange to
say) most happy of the whole histrionic fraternity, was brought up at
:this office, to make (as he called it) his first appearance in a new
line of business, or, in other words, to answer the complaint of a
certain little boy, whose head happened to come rather meta prvpos
within the reach of Floweidew's baton (a brave oak sapling),
whilst he was charging, as he conceived, in kingly character, the
rude invaders of his throne. The boy not comprehending exactly
the royal prerogative of first-rate actors, to knock down the unfortu-
nate auxiliaries of the scene, and the blow being also somewhat too
heavy even to bear the name of a practical joke, he complained
aloud of the injury he had sustained, and provoked a sph it of in-
serreetion amongst the lieges subjects of our imaginary sovereign,
whose proper person was dragged straightway before Mr. Serjeant
SILLOI4, to answer to the charge aforesaid. . When brought before
_this latter personage, poor Flowerdew descended front his high
estate, and certainly demeaned 'isiniself in all respects with appro-
priate reenllection of the cideveat King and the actual Magistrate.
The juvenility of the complainant made it necessary that he should
answer certain interrogatories, as to the place where liars go, etc.
helot* the oath was allowed to be administered ; and, fortunately
for Flowerdew. it so turned out, that the youngster who should
have been deponent in_this case, had always been at play when his
companions were at Catechism and he being unable to make the
necessary replications,.his testimony could not be received on oath,
and Flowerdew was once more " free as air."

EATRACT OF A LETTER FROM SMYRNA, NOVEMBER 2.
• The Egyptian squadron, under the command of Ibra-
uitn was at Boudroun, preparing to set sail with
the whole convoy to go and land the troops in the Morea.
The Greeks had sent fire-ships against the frigate
commanded by Ibrahim Pacha himself, but two of
them exploded at too great a distance to produce any
effect, and the other three were boarded and captured
by the boats of the frigate, and carried into Boudroun.
The Captain Pacha was in the Dardanelles with his
vessel. The remainder appear to have followed Ibra-
him Pacha, and to be under his command.
We have received only one Number of the Oriental
Spectator to-day. We are informed, by a letter from
Smyrna, that the non-appearance of the following
Number was occasioned by the illness of the Printer.

The Quarter's Account of the Revenue will not be
made up until the evening of the sth of January, but
we feel much pleasure in stating, that it still continues
to increase in a manner which is one of the strongest
proofs of the continued and growing prosperity of this
country. In the Excise the increase has been immense,
and we understand that the produce of the Customs,
during the present Quarter, exceeds that of the corre-
sponding Quarter of last year by nearly 200,0001. thus
coveting the whole deficiency occasioned by the repeal
of duties, which are estimated at 20,0001. a-week, and
leaving an actual surplus of nearly twelve thousand
pounds. The principal increase in the Customs is in
sugar and timber.

Just as our Paper was going to press, we received the
Eloile of yesterday by express, but it contains no intel-
ligence worth quoting, except that Lord STRANG/OAD
had arrived at Brussels.

be tithe-free, while in the occupation or =Durance of the owner,
but not guaranteed as such.
The Town-hall was this day instantly filled, on opening the
doors. At the commencement of the sale, some delay took place
in regard to the site of the present Poorhouse being disposed of,
and the propriety of appropriating a suitable place for the erection
of another, which being satisfactorily arranged, the bidding* cont.
menced, and spirited competition prevailed throughout.
The ground of exemption of the land from tithes is, that it fur.
merly belonged to the Knights Templars, one of the privile,zed
orders, who held all the lands that came into their posses,:
prior to the last of the Councils of Lateran, in 1215, exempt ft,.,,,

AMBOYNA MOUTH POWDER,

FOE CLEANSING, DEAUTIETING, AND PRESERVING THE STEW.

THIS POWDER is as pleasant in the application
as it is excellent in its effects ; it speedily renders the Teeth
white and smooth, the gums healthful, red, and firm ; and by con-
stant use will preserve them in this desirable state to the utmost limits
of human life. It gradually but effectually dissolves tartar which
neglect may have permitted to collect ; takes out all dark streaks,
or discoloutings of the Teeth, which prove so material a drawback
to beauty; prevents those Teeth which are already partly decayed,
from ever becoming worse, and cleanses, beautifies, and preserves
those that are wound; it imparts to the breath the most delightful
fragrance, and to the Gums that florid redness which indicates a
healthful stare. Thoserwho constantly use this Powder as directed,
will never have the Tooth-ach, or a Tooth decay.
The LOTION is a concentrated Preparation, and contains all
the desirable qualities of the Drug of which the Powder is made,
and is par titularly recommended to be used with the Powder, when
the Teeth or Gums are in a bad state, namely, spongy, sore, or apt
to bleed, symptoms which proceed from Scurvy, and which this
Lotion will never fail to remedy : it .is also a certain, safe, and
speedy cure for the Tooth-ach.

BUENOS-AYR ES.

The Government has sent to the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives the following Note and Project of Law : -
“Beuros-Avirs.s, OCT. 6, 1824.
" The provinces of the Rio de la Plata have already
the glory of having abolished the African slave•trade by
a spechrl law; and have thus prevented the country
from having to blosh for the sacrifice of new victims.
They may also boast of having laid in the interior solid
foundations for the genei al emancipation of the slaves;
but the Government of Buenos-Ayr es considers that the
sanction of the annexed project of law is indispensable
!o complete this great work, d.ee to therevolution. The
Government believes itself to be supported by the •de-
cided opinion of etch representative, and this induces it
to hope that the sanction of the litw which it proposes
will he due to the fourth Legislature.

LISBON, DECEMBER 12.
"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

" It having come to my knowledge, that in the province
otAlentejo, frequent and considerable robberies continue
to be committed, to the general scandal, cawing great
injury and alarm to my faithful subjects inhabiting
that province, who, fearing the repetition c•f such crimes,
suspend cn this account the course of their commercial
affairs, to the great detriment of my Royal Exchequer
and of the Public ; and considering that such crimes
require a prompt and exemplary punishment to restore
public tranquillity, I am pleased to order, that in the
tribunal called Casa de Supplies°, the Commissipn be
re-established which was created by the Portaria of
l&h December, 1812, for the purpose of passing ser.
tence according to the laws, on the persons who have
been implicated in the said robberies, since the first day
of the present year, or who shall henceforward commit
them in the districts of the Province of Alentejo, and
others, within the jurisdiction of the said tribunal : the
Chancellor, who acts also as Chief Justice, is to see to
the execution of the Decree.

London, England, 1824-12-27

THE trade from London to Norwich, in Bombazeen
and Crape, is at once extensive and permanent; yet the con-
veyance of goods is dilatory, expensive, and troublesome. The
towns of Chelmsford, Colchester, and Ipswich, are places of the
first importance; and the merchandize conveyed between them
and London is very considerable. All the Fish consumed through
the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and a great part of that
brought to London, is obtained from Yarmouth or Lynn. Bury
St. Edmund's is a place of great antiquity and wealth, and in it bu-
siness to a great amount, in all the staple prodnee of this country,
is carried on. The modes of conveyance to these various places,
are insufficient on the one hand, and extravagant on the other. It
is, therefore, proposed to construct a Rail-Road from London to
Norwich, through Chelmsford and Colchester, with a branch to
Harwich, then to Ipswich, with a branch to Bury St. Edmund's;
then to Norwich, with branches to Yarmouth and to Lynn.
The probable cost of the straight line to Norwich will be £5.75,000
The Branch from Colchester to Harwich . 60,000
The Branch from Ipswich to Bury St. Edmund's - 90,000
The Branch from Norwich to Yarmouth - 45,000
The Branch from Norwich to Lynn - • - 200,000

£930,000

The country through which this Rail-Road and its branches will
pass, is eminently adapted for that purpose, since it is nearly level
every way, and the expense therefore cannot be expected to exceed
the capital of the Company. Yarmouth may be considered as the
great Quay of the Northern Coast, and Irons Harwich there is a
very considerable trade in grain and other atticles to the Continent.
The profits of such an undertaking cannot fail to be great ; be-
cause, in addition to the constant traffic of passengers, the trade be-
tween London and Norwich is very considerable ; and thrinigh the
whole line of Road, as well direct as branch, the articles of timber,
coals, bricks, lime, and merchandize of every description, are con-
stantly passing to a very great amount.
The Company will be conducted by twelve country and twelve
London Directors. The Capital will be One Million, consisting of
10,000 Shares of XlOO each. The deposit on each Share, is £l.
Persons desirous of applying for the remaining Shares, must for-
ward their tenders in writing, immediately, to Messrs. Sir Wrn.
Kay, Bart. Price, Marryatt, and Coleman, Bankers, Mansion-
House-street; or to Messrs. Wilks and Verbeke, Solicitors, 36,
New Broad-street; mad must pay into the hands oEthe abovemcn-
tinned Bankers the amount of deposit on the Shares for which they
may tender; and in case a less number of Shares shall be allotted
than those tendered and paid for, the proportion of the deposit
overpaid will be returned when the Scrip is issued, which will be
on an early day in the month of January.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK LANE, DEC. C 7.

The weather having been boisterous during the past week, the
supplies of all suers of Corn were moderate. This morning the
fresh supplies" consist chiefly of small quantities of Wheat, Barley,
Beans, and Peas from Essex and Kent ; but there Is very little Corn
fresh up from other parts. There was scarcely sufficient fine
Wheat at market for our Millers' tie, and such kinds sold very freely
at es. to 3s. per quarter advance ea the terms of this day se [might,
and othtr descriptions also partake of the improvement. Harley
has also sold freely, and is is. to Ss. per quarter higher. Ohl Beans
are scarce, and dearer. New Beans find a ready sale on she same
terms as this day sennight. Grey Peas are rather dearer, and
Boiling Peas fully support last quotations. Oats have found buyers
with tolerable readiness, and they have obtained full as good terms
as this day se'nnight. The top price of Flour is expected to go up
to 70s. per sack.

THE SEASO.V.

Yesterday was one of the most beautiful days ever knnivn at
this season. The astonishing and agreeaide effect was felt by a sit
body, of persons, who gave up the pleasures of a Christmas morn.
ing repast fur a walk in the environs of the metropolis. The Kent.
road, and 'western roads, were thronged with pedestrians, eitjuyin-
a fine walk and clear atmosphere. Several gay parties extenued to
Woolwich and Greenwich, where they partook of all the pleatwei
of the testier board, and returned by moonlight to town. gee"
years since we had snow and frost at the end of December, not ot
in England, but in Italy. The last Christmas, and the- present se: s . ,
seem, however, to point out a visible alteration in the usual solstice.
Our old friend Horace, in his Odes, tells us to mark how t;..,
trees at this season of the year are betiding under the weight of si
and frost; and he invites his friends to live merri!y—to drink !
lernian wine, and to take no care about the future. note ob. er-
vations applied to the general appearance of Europe at the corn.
mencement of Winter, but, at the present day, when we are clos-
ing the year, we have no snow or frost to which the language of
I the poet can apply. We leave these partial changes to be explained
I by those who can trace nature to her sudden recesses, and Lecobi t
for her extraordinary variations. The air, which yesterday gave
life and spirit to theliedestrian, tinged the fair cheek of almost
every dashing Belle with the roseate hue of health. Some of the
most elegant and beautiful women were seen dashing in their gay
winter pelisses along the walks of Hyde Park. A stylish Hack
velvet chapeau, ornatgiented with lowers and black plumes, gave
an almost irresistible charm to the weartrs. Tile muff, which is
expected to be about this time a necessary appendage to walking
attire, was left In the carriage, or carried useless in one band. The
Parks displayed much fashionable company, and the that of the
day was the recent dispute between a celebrated young actress and
her admirers. The general sentiment events favourable to the Lady,
whose couduct is pronounced to be bettet than that of the gay
Lothario who frst became the object of her affection.

NEW SERIES.

V HE LONDON MAGAZINE AND REVIEW,
1 No. I. will be published on the first of January, 1825, price
3s. 63. by TAYLIR and thssEic, 93, and 13, Water-

100-place.
The Proprietors of the London. Magazine have entrusted its ma-
nagement to entirely new hands; by which talents and acquire-
ments of the very highest order will be added to the work, and
consequently its importance and utility very materially increased.
They have made arrangements of the most extensive description
for procuring complete and most interesting communications re-
specting foreign Literature, and the earliest notices of the new pub-
lications of she Continent; fresh sources of intelligence, and infor-
mation of the most important nature, are now open to them ; and
most active exettions have been made to enlist new Contributors of
distinguished eminence.
The marked poverty and partiality of all the existing Magazines
in their Reviews of New Books, have determined the Proprietors
upon uniting the characters both of a Magazine and of a Review.
Both names will therefore be associated in the title, and the size of
the work will be increased accordingly.
The typography of the Magazine, as it has hitherto been pub-
lished, the Proprietors have long felt might be materially Improved,
both in the beauty of its appearance and in the facility of being
read. In this depirtment, therefore, a considerable and most a -
vantageous change will take place.
Orders for the London Magazine and Review may be forwarded
to the Publishers, or the Work may be had on the Ist of every
Month, from any Bookseller or Newsman its London or in the
Country.—Subscribers Abroad may be supplied as usual through
the General Post-Office.

SALTA.

The vanguard organizing in this province daily im-
proves in number ai.a nisei prine. Above 50 men, most
of them corporals and serjeants, have come over from
the army of Olaneta. They affii in that those t‘ ho form
the Spanish force ate disposed to abandon colours which
are displayed only in favour of personal interests, and of
despots more cruel than Ferdinand VII. himself.
0cr.23.—1n our preceding number, we alluded to a
report of the defeat of the Constitutional General Val- •
dee, by Aquilera, of the Servile party (that of Olaneta.)
We find this report to be founded on the fullowing ex.
tt act of a letter from a merenatA in the f.rovinoe of Salta:
The late events in P. 4 it are of a very flattering na-
ture. On the retreat of Valdez, sent for by LA Serna,
on account of the danger which he is in from Genlral
Iloiivar, Aquilera, in concert with the Barbarucho, at-
tacked him in the environs of Potosi, and completely
defeated him, Valdez being wounded in one foot, and
Caratala killed ; hence Olaneta is master ft urn Mojo to
the Desaquadero inclusive, who, uniting all his forces,
except the small gars icons, has commenced his mrch,
protection to his distressed rivals, though no-
body knows his secret vies s."

The Chile paper 14 Liberal of Sept. 4, contains-
1. A Note front the Nlinister Pleitip. tentiary of the
United States, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, dated
Santiago, August 4, in which he complains that the
subjects of the United States and other foreigners, are
prohibited by the laves of Chile from the free exet cise of
their religion, and even the rites of burial; and he there-
fore, according to his duty, calls the attention of the
Goverrunent or Chile to the necessity of renteds irig th s
grievance by a law which shall ensure them the enjoy-
ment of the privileges to which they are accustomed,
and thus teurove all grounds for future complaint.
'2. -A letter from Mr. Canning, dated April 23d, to
the Consul-General in Chile, desiring him to require
from the Government of Chile, for the subjects of his
Britannic Majesty, not only the enjoyment of civil
rights, but the freedom of religious worship : these civil
rights are, freedom of peitons and property, against
every act of the Government emanating from political
relations with other countries, or political dissensions at
borne : and pt incipally,exemption ft our personal militar y
ser►ice, and (mom every impost which does not fall on
the general mass. The free exercise of their religion, and
the decent celebration of the rites of sepulture, are
equally indispensable to the tranquillity aura welfare of
the members of a Christian community.
On the other hand, his Majesty's suhjectss ate to
avoid all ostentatious display of the religious worship
—to behave in a peaceable and orderly
,rnanner—to
respect the laws, customs, and civil and religious in-
stitutions of the Government under the protection of
which they live; and the Government of Chile may
be assure,!, that any of his subjects acting otherwise, and
in a manner offensive to the Government and people of
Chile, will incur his Majesty's serious displeasure.

()Ice, at eleven o'clock. Altterman Dailey and Coun-
sellors Lowe and Graves were in attendance. _ _ _

MI. Kildahl, addressing the Magistrate, said, " As
Solicitor for Mr. O'Connell, 1 request to know if there
be any information on oath rrevinusly made before any
of the Magistrates, to watt-Int the Chief Magistrate in
calling on Mr. O'Conneli zo enter into the reCogni-
zance?"—The MagiStra:e replied, that there was an
informaz:on on oath.

. ..
Mr. Kildahl then protested against the right of the
Magistrates to take further informations, after an arrest
upon an information theretofore made before them, anti
required a copy of inch information.—The Magistrates
refused to gi;e any copy.
Mr. Kildahl then distirictly called on the Magistrates
to furnish him with the name or names of the persons
who made such informations.,-This the Magistrates,
peremptorily refused.
Mr. Kildahl—Well, if, notwithstanding my protest,
you proceed to examine any further witnesses respect-
ing the cite, ge already made against Mr. O'Connell,
will you permit such examination to be attended, on the
part of Mr. O'Connell, by himself, his Counsel, or agent ?
The Magistrates—Certainly not ; but inasmuch as
Mr.O'Connell k not subject to the inconvenience of cus-
tody, we consider ourselves entitled to examine such
other witnesses for the purpose of said inquiry as we
shall consider necessary, without allowing any atteltd-
ance by or for him.
Mr. Kildahl then withdrew; and afterwards addressed
the following letter Mr. Kenunis, the Clown Solicitor
for the province of Leinster :
Sackville-street, D;cember 22, 1824.

Syr—As the Solicitor of Daniel O'Com.ell, Esq. and on his be-
half, I request to be furnished with a copy Of the informations, by
virtue of which he has been held to bail to appear at the next Coto-
mission, which informations were not only taken altogether es parts,
but the matter and particulars' thereof have been hitherto withheld
from Mr. O'Connell. Having made an application for a copy of
them to the Magistrates of the head Police Office, they refused to
give it to me, and afterwards referred me to the Law Officers of
the Crown—l therefore apply to you for it. You art.,,,of course,
aware, that it will be impossible fur me to take any measure on Mr.
O'Connell's behalf, until I-shall have obtained such copy, the ex-
penses of which lam ready forthwith. to pay. I am, Sir, your most
obedient humble servant, S. KILDAHL.
