THE COMET.

At the Meeting of the Royal Irish Academy, Jan. 23,
Dr. ButNKLEY communicated the Elements of the Orbit
of the Comet, from observations made at the Observa-
tory of Trinity College, Dublin.
Perihelion distance, 0.2640, the Earth's mean distance from the
Sun being Unity.
Time of passage through Perihelion, December Bih-13h. 7m.
ON. mean time at Observatory, T.C.D.

Inclination, 754. 47m. 301.
Ascending node, 302 d. 51m. 40s.
Perihelion, 269 d. 30m. 30s.
Alotion, retrogrAde.
It does not appear that this Comet has been recorded
to have been observed before. The Comet of 1677 nearly
agrees as to its perihelion distance, and the inclination
of its orbit, but not as to its other elements. At this
time (Jan. 26) the Comet is distant from us about forty-
five millions of miles, and is now somewhat nearer than
it has yet been, but on account of its greater distance
from the sun, its light has become much weakened. Its
distance from the earth will now increase, and its dis-
tance from the sun continuing to increase, both circum-
stances will soon render the Comet difficult to be seen.

ANOTHER COMET.—A correspondent in the Dumfries
Courier, states that a second comet has been discovered.
It is in the constellation Draco, nearly half-way be-
tween the Greater and Lesser Bear, and within a short
distance of Alpha Draconis, over which it throws its
tail. That unlearned readers may the more easily dis-
cover it, they may attend to the following directions:—
The Plough (Ursa Major), about seven o'clock in the
evening, points almost directly downwards. At this
hour, let them look at the second and third stars of that
constellation, counting Upwards, and then cast their eyes
towards the left, and they will see, at some distance,
two other stars, which form a parallelogram s ith the
stars first mentioned. These are the two brightest and
lowest stars of the Lesser Bear... Now, about half. way
between these two points, they will observe a single star,
which is the Alpha Draconis that we haste mentioned as
enveloped in the tailof the comet."

Monday, an In4uest was -held on board the Alto:m-
um/a., on the bodies of John Sparway and Ander-
son, two of the unfortunate persods who were lost with
Captain STEWART, a short time since. The body of
Sparway was picked up at the top of Long-reach, on
the beach, at high-water mark, by the oyster watchman.
Anderson was taken up near the same place, floating on
the surface of the water, by Lieutenant DIXON, R.N.
Standgate Creek: Verdict—Found proumed.
Monday, as George Eaton, a private in the Royal
Marines, Chatham; was repairing a chimney at the top
of the Hospital, he fell to the ground, a distance of forty-
five feet, and died the same evening.

BOW-STREET.

Orsanoati3arraay.—:%e;sl. Jase Solomons and Miehae! Isaacs
were eirargectevith having assaulted Mr. David Alartin.
The'parties are all orange-merchants in Ccvent-Garden Market.
-Mr. David Martin deposed, that as he was standing by his mer-
chandise, about the hour of ten yesterday morning, courting some
Money he had just then taken from a customer, he suddenly re-
ceived " a squashy, well-damaged St . Michael's vo;: in his right ear ,"
and upon his turning round his head to see where it came from, he
received another, equally squashy, tap in his left ear. Then, turn-
ing his head to the left, he received another in his right ear ; and so
on—left* right, left, right, for nearly two hours, withot.t 116 being
able to find out where they came from. " But at last," saii he, " by
a curious skvint of my two eyes at tonne, I catch'd both these ere
gemmen in the fact."
Messrs. Michael Isaacs and Joseph Sobnions solemnly denied
having done any such thing, and assured the Magistrate that Mr.
David Martin was " a man what wasn't to be believed upor his
oath."—Nay, Mr. Joseph Solomons offered to prove this, beforr his
Worship, if he would give him leave.
1-16 Worship gave him leave; and setting his arms a-himbe,
whilst he stared Alr.Martin full in the face, he demanded—" Now,
Mister Martin—for that's your name you know—you have been
sworn, havn't you ?"
0 Ver gout," replied Mr. Martin, I have shworn."
" Very well then," cantinued Mr. Solomons, "non, upon the
solemn oath you have took, didn't you—this very morning—whilst
I was calling out to Aaron Levi, throw a great big rotten orange
smack into my month—
" That is where oranges ought to go!" observed Sir Richard,
interrupting him.
" But nut rotten ones," yottr.Worship, rejoined Mr. Solomons, and
then continued his cross-examination of Mr. Martin—" I say, Mr.
Martin, didn't you throw a great big rotten orange, which took my
customer on the whisker, and came slap into my mouth just as I
was calling to Aaron Levi, by which means I was almost choaked ?"
" Upon—my—solemn oat—l did not," replied Mr. Martin, with
much emphasis. -
" Oh, LORD !!" exclaimed Mr. Solomons; and he and his friend
were both held to bad.

CORFU, DECEMBER 2/.
Sr T. Maitland, Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands, arrived hete to-day, from Malta, (having
touched at Zante and Cephalonti), and issued the fol-
lowing Proclamation :
" Slr T. Ste. &e.
• Considering that on the 10th and 14th instant, one of the
most flagrant violations of territory has take?' place in the islands of
St. Maura and Ithaca, on the part of some armed Greek vessels,
which vessels were under the command of a perstin styled Prince
Maurocordato, and that its opposition to every recognised princi-
ple of neutrality, and the right of nations; his Excellency the
Lord High Commissioner of his Majesty, is, with a sovereign dis-
pleasure,forced by his duty to Order, that the two islands above-
mentioned, should immediately be put, with reference to the other
lonian Islands, in a state of quarantine for 50 days. The Inspec-
tor• General of the Sanatory Department is charged to transmit
immediately the necessary orders to this effect.
" His Excellency feels real pain at the inconveniences and losses
which must necessarily reult front this measure ; and what renders
it still more afflicting is, that we ought last of al to expect to see
A. lonian Government compromised and insulted by men who de-
clue that they fight for their liberty, and thus rendered an accom-
pike, if the fact had not been noticed, of those terrible and odious
atrocitieswhich on this occasion, and several others, have signalized
the parties engaged in the present war.

Dr. LUSHINGTON stated that this was a cause r•.f se-
paration and divorce promoted by William Wildey,
Esq. against Hannah Augusta Wildey, his wife, by
reason of her adultery. The marriage between the
parties was pleaded to have taken place the month
of April, 1814, and the parties lived and col abited to-
gether, without interruption for any considerable length
of time, until the month of October, 1821. Captain
Wildey had formerly been in the army: but he had te-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE
A young wotpan, named Jane Moore, was charged with hnving
stolen plate to an enormous amount, the property of her master,
Mr. Kitwan,a merchant, residing in Riches-court, Lime-street.
Mr. Kirwan stated, that the prisoner had been a short time in
his service, and that he took her upon a written character. On
Thursday night he went to the Theatre, and left the house in care
of his two female servants, and his two clerks. On his return, he
was told that a serious robbery had been attempted, and on ex-
amining his plate chest, which was deposited in a closet adjoining
tu his bed-room, he found that it had been broken open, and that a
great quantity of plate had been taken out.
The plate, which was here produced, and spread over the table
before the Loan MAYOR, consisted of spoons, tankards, knives, and
a great variety of articles. Nothing was found about the prisoner
when she was taken into custody.
The prisoner, w hen asked what she had to say, was very much
affected, and said she had done what she had in consequence of the
embarrassment of her husband, under whose controul she acted.
As the charge was of a capital nature, Mr. Kirwan appeared de-
sirous of making it as light as possible, and seemed willing even not
to proceed against the prisoner.
The Loan MAYOR said the whole case must be proceeded in,
and remanded the prisoner.

THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.

The admirers of works of art wiil, in the ensuing
season, experience a rich treat. Independently of the
annual exhibitions at the Royal Academy, and the In-
stitutions in Pall-mall, a new Gallery will be opened in
Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East, to be entitled the Exhi-
bition of the Society of British Artistti. It must not be
disguised that this Society has sprung out of the offence
given to a number-of very distinguished-and promising
Artists, •who felt themselves neglected or ill-treated, by
Ore refusal or bad disposition of their several works in
the Academy, arising principally from the inefficiency
of the rooms at Somerset House. Among many other,
equally conspicuous names, we perceive already en-
rolled those of Heaphy, Hotlierni, J. Glover, Wilson,
Wyatt, Rossi, jun. Linton,. Nasrnyth, Wright, Barnet,
C. Heath, Vincent, Ranson, Henning, Martin, Meyer,
Elmes, Smith, Maliphant, &c. The regulations are upon
Vie most liberal principle, and all artists in Painting,
Sculpture, Architectute, and &r. :tying, will have an
opportunity of displaying their several works to advan-
tage. Thelast art, as is known, is wholly rejected by the
Royal Academy. The profits of the Institution will be
appropriated to the relief of distressed Artists,their wi-
dows, and orphans; as also to the purchase of the works
of' British Artists. The Gallery, which is on the eve of
completion, will be entered by a handsome Doric portico,
in Suffolk-street. Pall-mall,East, and will consist et a suite
of six rooms, well proportioned, and severally adapted to
the various classes of alt. The want of classification has
long been telt at the Royal: Academy, but from a defi-
ciency of space it has never yet been effected. The ex-
treme length of the building is 120 feet. The large
gallery 60 feet by 40, and four other galleries, each 30
feet by 20, all leading immediately in a line with the
gland apartment ; there is, in addition, a small side gal-
lery, of nearly equal size to the four end ones. The
entrance is by a noble flight of steps of easy ascent, •
presenting on each side a space for the reception of
works of art. The gallery lights ale admirably ar-
ranged,. and the building appears to us to be well cal-
culated for the purposes of exhibition.

THE GREEKS.

Letters have been received from Greece, which fully
confirm the preceding accounts from that part of the
globe. The following, which is from an official source,
describes the condition of the Turks as one of real
perplexity, NIISSOLONGHI, DEC. 23, 1823.
" I have already informed you that a Turkish brig
was pursued by a number of Greek ships, on the 10th.
instant, and alter a qallant running fight, driven on a
rock nem- Ithaca. The Greeks, after sinking the ship,
pursued 48 Turks, who sought refuge on the shore:
some were killed, some escaped. The brig had 253;000
piasters on board, for the payment of the soldiers at
Patras. •Letters addressed to Usoff Pacha, the Com-
mandant, and others, stated that the troops had had no
pay for eighteen months, and that the Porte, during
that period, had not given them wherewithal ." to pay
the barbers for sharing them." Usoff Paella's bills,
for the payment of provisions, had been • rejected at
Constantinople. The Commandant of Coron applied
to the Porte fur cannoneers and ammunition. The reply
was, that they had not cannoneers even to supply the
fleet, but that they v.ould send a supply of ammunition.
On the 10th December, a Greek vessel, with 20 men,
attacked a Turkish vessel with 70 men on board; the
lacier was proceeding from Patras to nevesa, with per-
sons who fled on account of the disorders that prevail
at Patras. The fight was so obstinate that the Turkish
vessel went down ; seven men were taken and saved; of
the rest, some reached the shore, but most weretilled."

. TOMBS OF GALILEO AND MACHIAVELLI.

FLORENCE, AUG. entering the church of Santa
Croce, the interior of which is melancholy enough, I
was a little astonished, and very nearly fell down by
placing my foot on a sepulchral stone, sculptured in
relief ; an involuntary movement of curiosity made me
read the name of him who had thus attracted my atten-

don in his tomb. I read, Galilcus Galilei, philosophus
et medicos, the mantle and cup of a doctor were the
dress of this person, whose lean and serious countenance
is half defaced by the faithful and the curious who visit
the church. The title of physician had hardly made
me aware of my error, when I noticed on the wall to
my left, the monument erected to Galileo Galilei, the
Florentine Astronomer, who is, undoubtedly, a descen-
dant of the other. In seeing this tomb one cannot help
making a singular reflection, which is, that it is formed
in the place where the Tribunal of the Inquisition was
held when it existed in Florence. This is a consoling
species of contradiction, for it proves that truth, reason,
and religion, make at last common cause. Galileo gave
a great impulse to the mathematical sciences by proving
that the earth turned round ; but he gave as great an
impulse to moral sciences by demonstrating that phy-
sical truths do no injury to truths of a higher order.
In 1683, the Court of Rome condemned him to abjure
his opinions. In 1737, a monument was erected to his
memory in the Church of Santa Croce. Glory to GOD,
and may the earth continue to turn on its axis!
The tomb of Machiavelli, which is at Santa Croce,
wat placed here in 1787. In writing his name, it is not
necessary to add, that it is of itself sufficient praise, for
all those who are acquainted with the works of that au-
thor, think well of him on hearing his name. The epi-1
tapli is, however, unintelligible for the ignorant, but all'
the world must be taken into the account, particularly
in a church. I very often read the works of this great
prose writer, and am delighted to repeat to you now
what I have often said to you, that he is as profound as
Tacitus, and that his prose is as clear and elegant as the
prose of Voltaire. His writings contain wen a little of
the salutary pedantry of which Bocacio has given such
repeated examples in his imitations of the ancients. Ma-
chiavelli did that for the science of politics which his
predecessors had done for unfolding thought and polish-
ing language.—Extract of a Letter to a Parisian, on Italy.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday, Mr. Burrower, brewer, of Back-hill, Hatton-garden,
applied to the Magistrate for his advice under the following circum-
stances :—lle stated that he discovered that an interesting looking
young woman, about twenty years of age, had slept for the last three
nights in the yard of the brewery, and such was the state of ex-
haustion in which she Was found, that if he had not humanely given
her some food, and brought her into his house, she must have ex.
pired. The girl stated that her father and connexions were of the
highest respectability in Worcestershire; but that, owing to the ex-
treme severity of her stepmother, she was obliged to fly to London,
and take a servant's place. Her naturally delicate constitution, and
her not being habituated to labour, rendered her unfit for servitude,
and after pawning all her clothes to support herself during the last
three weeks, and pay her lodgings, she was at last turned into the
streets. To save herself from infamy, she took shelter on those pre-
mises, in the hope of dying there.
The Magistrate expressed his commiseration for her situation, and
dispatched an officer with her to the Mendicity Society, requesting
that they would attend to her situation, conceiving her case to be
well deserving their consideration.
John Fußbrook, James Ward, Rebecca Curtis, and Rebecca Burton,
all under sixteen ye:a ; of age, were brought up by Dsxrington, one
of the day patroL He stated, that knowing the parties to b re-
puted thieves, he took them into custody on Thursday, in Holborn,
under suspicious circumstances. On their persons were found a
number of new sUk handkerchiefs, silver snuff-boxes, pencil-cases,
and various trinkets ; and on searching the lodgings of the females,
beaver hats with ostrich feathers, pelisses, and an elegant assortment
of ladies' dresses were found. An immense number of duplicates
of unused linen-drapery, pledged in all quarters of the town, were
found on them—They were remanded for a week, that the property
might be traced.

FROM lIONDURAS.

The following account of the continued series of de-
ceptions practised upon sonic poor misguided wretches
in Britain, by the agents of that adventurer M'Gregor,
has been received, dated 26th ult. " The brig Albion,
Fisher, from London, is at anchor off the Keys, but
cannot get in on account of the north-west winds.
IMiGregor'i delusions, I believe, will never end, for we
understand that the Admiral of the Poyais fleet is on
board; be was formerly called Captain Wright,• and
was once on the Jamaica station as Commandei o► hi,
Majesty's ship Swift. We also hear that there are Las.
cars on board. Precarious work this—an Admiral with-
out a fleet, without a port, without a roadstead, and
without officers or men."

A postscript, dated thy 28th, says-14 The Aibionl;,
this moment come in, with about sixteen persons
board, for Poyais ; among them the Baron San
(otherwise Thomas Stenhouse), Under Secretary of Su:-
for the War and Marine; there is also the Count de It
Negro (Admiral Wright). Unfortunately, the Baron s
Lucas was drowned in the bay of Black River, attemp

LOSS OF AN INDIAMAN.

We regret to state, that the Bombay Merchant,
which left St. Helena on the 6th of September, was lost
shortly afterwards, but all her crew and passengers were
saved. Four of the crew and two passengers, together
with the letters, have arrived, in the Brazil packet,
nom Rio de Janeiro this morning. The passengers ar-
rived are Mr. :3zitrox, his Majesty's master shipwright ;
and Mr. CLARK, of the Civil Service.

Quebec Gazettes to the 19th November have been re-
ceived at the New England Coffee-house. The follow-
ing is an extract :

MONTREAL, NOVEMBER 13,
We some time ago mentioned that a disturbance had
taken place between the people employed in the service
of the Hudson's Bay Company, and the Indians in the
interior, since which, we understand that information
has been received, stating that a general coalition of
the Indian tribes, to the amount of some thousands,
has taken place ; and that they attacked the whites in
the settlement of Red River : that the assailed made a
desperate resistance, and defended themselves with'
great bravery ; but in the contest, the settlers sustained
some loss, yet they succeeded in preserving their ground,
and keeping the savages at a distance. We have lately
conversed with a Gentleman well acquainted with that
country, who gives it as his opinion that the whites
Imust have been the original transgressors. •

By the arrival of a Brazil Mail, we have received a
fiie of the Diario Fluminense, from the 20th September
to 2d November inclusive. The following are extracts :

RIO DE JANEIRO, SEPTEMBER 22.

Rich mines, four of gold, having been lately disco-
vered in the province of S. Pedro do'Sul, of which large
bodies of vagabonds have taken pos,ession, and work
them clandestinely and without any retitlar plsn, to
the great loss of the State, the ruin of the land-owners,
and the disturbance of public tranquillity ; his Majesty
the Emperor has issued a Decree, ordeting .measures
to be taken for working the said mines in a regular man-
ner, accoi ding to the ancient and modern ordonnances.

MOPING COUGH CURED WITHOUT INWARD
MEDICINE.

TN consequence of the beneficial effects of ROCHE'S
EMROCATION for the cure of that distressing cemplalet
the HOOPING COUGH, his Majesty's Letters Patent were
granted to J. Roves, to secure to him his valuable composition.
Many thousands of children are cured annually by this remedy ;
on the first attack an immediate application of the EMBROCA-
TION will prevent the complaint taking any held of the constitu-
tion, and a few times may. completely cure. In the most obsti-
nate cases, perseverance will produce the desired effect ; and no
remedy can be se well calculated for children as this, for it requires
no medicine to be taken inwardly.

In no case can this medicine be genuine unless signed on the
wrapper by J. Rocas, and on every stamp the names of Shaw and
Edwards 66, St. Paul's Church-yard.—Price 41. and U. 2s.
per bottle.

suit .cir the interview between the High Sheriff and Thur-
tell is supposed to be important, as he has refused_ to com •
municate the particulars to 'any one_ before to-mor-
row. Mr. Wilson then informed him that the Chaplain
desired to see him in the chapel. He expressed great.
willingness to attend Divine Service, and was.conducted
to the chapel about the same time with his associate,
Hunt, all the other prisoners confined in the jail having
been previously introduced. At half-past eight o'clock
this morning, the chaplain repaired to the prison, hav-
ing felt it to be his duty, and in fact with the approba-
tion of Thurtell, to perform in the coarse of the morn-
ing the religious offices, to 'which, for the consolation of
prisoners in his unhappy situation, the Sunday before
execution is generally devoted. The day of the week
not admitting the intervention of the Sunday, it was
nevertheless deemed necessary to give the prisoners the
benefit of this ceremony on the eve of, execution. Be-
sides these arid the attendants and guards no other per-
sons were present, with the excepton of one Gentleman,
the Rev. Mr. Oven, a !elation, we believe, of the High
Sheriff. As soon as the necessary arrangements were
made, the Chaplain (Mr. Franklin) commenced the Ser-

DEATHS BY HUNTING.

A melancholy accident happened. to Joha F.dwards, Esq. of
soe, in the county of Bedford, on Friday the 26th of Decemb..r
last, by which he unfortunately lost his life. It appears that Mr.
Edwards was out with the Galt), hounds, when in attempting to
cross a ford at a place .e.alled Newtou, in Buckinghamshire, nearly
opposite liraylleldThouse, the seat of Major Fairer, and which hal
previously been passed by soapy- of the sportsmen in perfect satety,
he, with several other Gentlemen, who were not actsualnted
the proper course they ought to have followed, took a wrong direc-
tion, when all of them flounced headlong into deep wamer. is r.
Edwards, who was on a very spirited horse, unhappily lost his seat,
but still kept fast hold of the bridle, and it is supposed is his exer-
tions to save himself, that the animal, while strul:gling and plungi: g
in the water, struck him on the head with his fore feet, which
' stunned him, through which accident he sunk, acid was drowned.
His companions with great difficulty escaped with their lives, and
all the horses were rescued. • Mr. Edwards was a mat respectable
man, and poscssed very considerable property in the county—he
has left a widow and eight children to deplore his lamentable fate,
and Mrs. Edwards is now far advance 4 in a state of pregnancy.
Friday, the 26th ultimo, a melancholy accident happened, while
the Ilurworth For Hounds were out. The Itev. Marrnaluke
Theakston, iiithe ardour of the chase, was tempted to crust the
River Tees, ar a ford near ‘Vorsall. The *water was deeper than
usual, owing to previous rains, and he unfortunately' mistook the.
ford. His horse, a powerful and spirited antnial, swam wait bias
into the middle of toe river; when, vetting irnpatitnr, he renr2ti,
and threw his rider backward. Mr. Theaketcnivea tbSit 01;serv.,1
to swim (apparently strong and weil)rand several Gentlemen, woo
watched hint with extreme anxiety, had hopes he woad reach the
-shore; but all at once, when,within rive yards of it, he sunk and
never row again. Mr. Theakston was sun L;f the ilcv. Mr. Thenth-
ston, Rector of Hurworth, an on:y child, and herr to a very ample
fortune. This melancholy even iliS plunged his parents and friends
In the deepest distress. The body tad not been -found on the
