being arrayed in their splendid robes, their names were called
over in regular order, in the Entrée-room. G. F. Belts, Esq.
the Gentleman Usher, had an audience of His Majesty, and
took the Sovereign's command to hold an Investiture. The
members of the Order, attended by their officers, then ap-
proached his Majesty, in the Throne-room, making their
obeisances. The King appeared in the robes of the Order,
Ilia are similar to those of the other members, excepting
chat the train is much longer. The two junior Knights present
nitildrew, attended by the Gentleman Usher, and introduced
Count Munster, for the purpose of his being invested with the
insignia of a Knight-Grand Cross. His Excellency, who is
member of several foreign orders, but not of any English
olie, had the honour of knighthood conferred on him by his
Majesty with the sword of State. The usual ceremony was
cone through, and his Excellency was invested by the King
with the star and riband of the order. The Gentleman Usher
then introduced Lieut.-Gen. Sir W. Houstoun, accompanied
..y the two junior members of the order, when the Sovereign
invested him also with the star and riband of a Knight
Grand Cross. Sir William was not knighted, having re-
received that honour on a former occasion. All the mem-
bers and the officers of the order then retired from the pre-
zenc,e of the Sovereign, making their obeisances.

At the conclusion of the Privy Council, the Recorder of
London was admitted into the presence of the King in

left the Palace in a travelling chariot on their return to
Windsor, escorted by a patty of lancers.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth-day of the

with company throughout the day, who called to congratu-
late Her Royal Highness on the return of ber natal day.
About two o'clock the Duchess of Kent and Princess

Highness during the day.

THE ARMY.
Dusux 81.sacil I.—Another company of the 74th regiment
marched from Limerick on Monday, for the county Clare.
The Amity, Orestes, and Arab, transports are ordered to take out the
87th to the Mauritius.
The 80th regiment is hourly expected from the Mediterranean, and
will form part of the Portsmouth garrison.
Lieutenant B. Taylor, Slat regiment, landed at Portsmouth, from
Bermuda, on Monday.
His Majesty's Treasury has advanced 80,0001. for new clothing of the
Irish Yeomanry.
There is no intention whatever of re-embodying the Veteran Batta-
lions at present, as they would be entitled to increase of pension for
every month's service.
Greenwood and Cox, the army agents, lose 3091. a-year by abolish-
ing the office of Treasurer of the Military Asylum • and the house of
Collier a similar sum, by abolishing the office of Treasurer of the Min.
tart' College.
The
number of English Militia regiments ordered to be permanently
embodied and proceed to Ireland, is eleven. Orders have been sent
to the Tower to get in readiness 200,000 stand of arms, foe these and
other regiments, should it be advisable to call them out on permanent
duty.
It is believed that there will shortly be no more logging in the 1
British army at home. Last week a court-mutisl was held on private
Thomas Cook, of the Grenadier Guards, for stealing a waistcoat and
handkerchief from a comrade. He was found guilty—but instead of
being sentenced to be flogged, he was sentenced to twelve months' I
imprisonment, and at the expiration of the time to be drummed out of
the regiment.
One hundred and fifty recruits landed here from Liverpool on Friday..
Lieutenant )I'Namara and a detachment of the Bth hussars, left
Goes on Wednesday for Castlehar.
A dinner was given on Wednesday last, by the Thatched
House Naval Club, to the First Lord of the Admiralty, Si,
James Graham, at which nearly 100 Admirals and Captains
were present. The chair was taken by Admiral Sir Robert
Stopford, supported by the Earl of Northesk, Sir James
Simmons, 81r Richard Relates, Sir Henry Hotham, and
others of our most distinguished Naval Offiesn.

unnecessary.
5. That the exposure of the details of Titles, and inannbrances af-
fecting real property, to general Inspection (which will be one of the 1
consequences of the bill) is not necessary for commercial purposes, will
in many cases he highly painful and injutloos to the owners and their
.connexions, and will enable litigious partite and disreputable practi-
tioners of the law, to search for foruud defects, and harass the proprie-
tors with vexatious litigation.
6. That the proposed measure will destroy the practice of obtaining
temporary loans from Bankers and others on a deposit of Title Deeds ;
a practice which has long prevailed In this district to a great extent, and
which is essential to the support of its commercial interests, especially
in times of pecuniary pressure or panic, when the credit and safety of
many highly respectable houses frequently depend on a prompt (though
temporary) advance of money, and the delay requisite for making
searches, and entering caveats in a Register Office in London, would
oftim postpone that indispensable aid till it was too late to be useful,
and involve such houses, and their extended connexions, in dilliculdes
and ruin.

BRADFORD REFORM MEErixe.--We regret that our limits this
week, prevent our giving a full acecount of this meeting, which took
place is the Exchange Rooms, yesterday. We understand, our ho-
nest straightforward friends, the Radicals, had it all their own way, not-
withstanding the standard of Whiggery was borne by the' junior Editor'
himself; who delivered himself of &stock speech on the occasion, and who
having very particular friends in the good town, was enabled to despatch
the resolutions to his office, before they were proposed or passed. Peti-
tions to both Houses of Parlianwnt, praying for universal suffrage,
annual parliaments, and vote by ballot, were unanimously agreed upon.
They have already obtained 1500 signatures. A meeting of a similar
nature was held at Elland, on Monday last.
HYDROPIIOIIIA.—We have this week to record a melancholy in-
stance of that most distressing and untractable malady—hydrophobia.
A fine young man, named James Ripley, 26 years of age, residing in
Wellington-yard, Kirkgate, on the Bth of January last, was bit in the
finger by a dog to which he was administering medicine, under the
supposition that it was labouring under the distemper. He did not
consults surgeon, but applied a poultice to the wound, which it speedily
healed. He afterwards felt in perfect health, and pursued his usual
avocations. On Tuesday the sth instant, he first felt alight unea-
siness in the part—on Friday night symptoms more decidedly
characteristk of Hydrophobia began to show themselves, and on Satur-
day, notwithstanding the employment of means the most energetic,
which were attended with transient relief, the disease advanced with
dreadful rapidity, and terminated fatally a little after ten o'clock in the
evening. On inquiry, it was found that the dog, (a young terrier two
months old) had been ill three or four days, having manifested the
tidal symptoms of rabies, and died on the day ar infficg the wound.
The weavers in the employ of Mr. Joseph Arundel', of Rothwell,
have struck for an advance of wages. They went in to finish the work
left in the looms, after being out eight days, on Thursday last, after
which they intend remaining out till the advance is given.
The circumstances of the turn-out of Messrs. Gott 's weaves remain
as they were last week. Messrs. Gott employ about 237 broad cloth
weavers, and the whole have struck except about two dozen, who have
I been in their employ since their youth. Since the strike commenced,
Messrs. Gott have discharged from their employment a number of
women and children, who were connected with the weavers; and as
the works are necessarily suspended in a great measure, several others
of the workmen have ceased labour for the present. The following
statement we give from our contemporary of Thursday, '
having previously had the means of ascertaining its correct-
nest We subjoin a list of' the prigs (per string) now paid for weay.
ing by Messrs. Gott, and also a list of the prices demanded by the '
weavers, together with a statement of the wages paid by four of the pria- '
cipal houses in Leeds. There are firms in the town and neighbourhood '
paying higher prices than those quoted, but as there are other houses
paying nearly as low wages as Messrs. Gott, the medium has been
taken. The qualities chiefly manufactured by Mem& Gott are lfrom
70 to 84 porthier, and upon these the desired advance is largest; the
weavers do not wish for any advance on the sets above 95 porthies. As
Messrs. Gott are paying sd. per string less than Mr. Peter il'illans, for
such of their webs as are between 70 and 84 porthies wide, and only pay
Bd. per web for putting up and cleaning, whilst all the other houses in
the town pay 2.. which makes a difference of Id. per string on a web
18 strings long ; they are now paying 6d. per string, or nearly 2d per
yard kasha weaving than the house just named.
During the last week, the weavers at Ossett, near Wakefield, struck
for an advance of wages, amounting to about twopence per string. The
spinners have also demanded a proportionate advance, which would in-
crease the earnings of both classes about 6d per day.
A very respectable meeting was held at Dewsbury, on Monday last,
when petitions were agreed upon against the Metropolitan Offiee for
registering deeds.
At a numerous and respectable meeting of the friends of liberal prin-
ciples, resident in Dewsbury and its neighbourhood, held on Tuesday
last, Mr. Thomas Todd, in the Chair, it was resolved to form $
Political Union.
A case came on to be heard before the West-Riding Magistrates at
their office in this town, on Tuesday week, whether the coaches passing
between Leeds and Selby should pay a fresh or higher toll at the bar
nearest Selby, in consequence (as was alleged by the takers of the tolls),
of their changing horses previously to passing such bar. The magis-
trates decided that they were not liable to sitch extra toll.
At the Bradform Reform Meeting, the Rev. B. Godwin, a Baptist
minister, quoted from the Black Book, to shew the immense difference
in point of income of the labouring classes taking collectively, and that
of the peers, who had usurped such an abominable preponderance in
point of representation. The annual income of the nobles of the land
was about 5,4004031. while that of the labouring classes was about
82450,0001. The income of all the rogues and vagrants of the king-
dom was double that of the Peers • for the income of the paupers,rogues,
vagrants, gypsies, &c. was 9,871,0001.
Tux MINSTER SCREI3L—This long disputed matter is at length
brought to an issue. The Very Rev. the Dean has addressed a letter
to the subscribers, in which he states his determination to let the screen
remain where it is, and gives his reasons for such determination.
WAKEFIELD CORK MARKET, FEB. 25.—The supplies of grain
for this day's market are again considerable. The trade remains in a
most inactive state, buyers feeling more disposed to work off their stocks'
than increase them ; there is, however, less anxiety to force the sales of
Wheat than last week, and the best conditioned parcels are held at
about the same terms, but for inferior sorts a decline of Is. to 2s. per
qr. would be readily mowed. Barley sells slowly at a reduction of
Is. to 2s. per quarter, and for inferior sorts there are no buyers. Oats
sod Shelling are each rather lower. Beans, being for the most part very
soft, are selling at a reduction of 2s. per qr. and hard ones fully Is. per qr.
DIED.—On Monday evening, in the 20th year of her age, Mary,
the amiable daughter of J. Cawood, Esq. Queen-street, Park.place—
Richard Shiers. Esq. of &hum, near Gargrave-89, the Rev. Samuel
Bottomley, 57 years minister of the Old Meeting-house, Searbro'—atl
' Little Gomersal, Benjamin Smith, Esq. late of Manchester.

MANCHESTER AND SALFORD, JAN. 26

It appears by advertisement of the Directors, that seven trains per
day leave Winchester for Liverpool, between seven in the morning and
siz in the afternoon. The fares are 7s. inside, and 2s. outside, in coaches,
and there is a four-coach at 9a. inside. The second class train is es.
and open carriage as. 6d. and a scale of fares is published for all inter-
mediate places.
At Bolton Petty Sessions, a poor old woman, aged 72, applied to the
Magistrates for an increased allowance from the Township of Little
Lever. She stated that she had been unable to work for the lut three
years, in consequence of an inflammation in one of her hands ; the town
allowed her Is. 6d. per weed—our of which she had to pay for conve.
Maces 9d. which only left her 9d. per week to provide herself with
food and clothes. The constable of Little Lever admitted the truth of
the applicants statement, and added, that she only wished for an addl.

HORRID CAUELTY TO A COILD.OO Saturday last. a man named
Samuel Wharmby, living in a cellar at Brinkaway, underwent an ex-
amination at the Stockport police-office, on a charge of cruelty to a child
of only two yaws of age, in having played the back part of its body
against the bars of the fsre-graie, and burnt it in a most shocking
manner ! It appeared that Wharnahy cohabited with the mother of the
child, which was not born in wedlock, bat Whatmby was not the father
of it; and it also appeared that the mother was in the habit of treath4
the child in an almost equally cruel manner. The man was committed
for trial on the charge.
Mexcasswza Sriwalas.—We understand that a meeting of some
muter spinners and a number of the operatives took place on Thurs.
day at the Palace Inn, for the purpose of discussing the price last sub-
mitted by the latter to the former. Nothing definitive was decided upon,
but we understand an early arrangement of the question is confidently
antic ipated.
Asa vow.—Every thing here is very tranquil, and the mills are in full
work. One thing which causes much sympathy in the neighbourhood
is the gradual weeding out of the hands who have made themselves
conspicuous in the turn out ; these are reduced to great distress, as they
cannot get employment anywhere else.
A few days ago a horse, called Old Partner, the property of 31r.
Peter Knight, of Hollinwood, gave up the ghost at the good old age of
27 years. The above animal has been in the service of his late owner
and his brother for a period of 17 years, during which rime it is calcu-
lated that he has travelled between this town and Oldham upw;rds of
6660 times, anti brought to Alanchrsicr mere than 120.000 hundrei
weight of coal.
Yoax Coax Ilsneer.—The supply of Wheat and cilia grain ; t
this day's market was good; Wheat full 2s to 3s per quarter, Oats I
to Id per stone, and Beans 2s per quarter lower. In Rye and 11.rle:
no material alteration. Wheat. 64s to 70s ; Fine, 7;ls to 80- . • Barley,
34. to 38. ; Fine, 40s to 431 ; Rye, 36. to 40s ; Oats, 23s to 26s ;
Fine, 28s to 325; Beans, 34s to 38a; Fine, 40s to 471.
MARRIED—At Stockport, Mr. J. Bradley, surgeon, to Miss Mary
Ellen Browning, both of this town—J. L. Rawlinsen, of the Inrer
Temple, Esq. Barrister.at-Law, to Mary, eldest daughter of the key.

'Mrs. Mary Baron, formerly of Bacup. in the Forest of Rosendale.
BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL, FEB. 26.
- - _ _ _ - -

At the general annual meeting of the governors of the Birmirgham
Dispensary, held on Friday, the following report of the medical offi.
cers was read :

" The medics/ committee of the Birmingham Dispensary keg leave
to state, that the sick patients during the fifteen months which this re.
pat comprehends, amounted to 4,089, the midwifery patients were
1,101, and 3,217 have been vaccinated.
" Accurate tables have been kept of 1825 cases. Of these 148 have
been cake of fever, eleven of which were typhus ; seven of these last
died. An account has been taken of ninety-four cases of pulmonary
consumption, thirty of which died while attended from the Dispensary.
Of other diseases of the lungs, comprehending asthma' inflammation,
and pleurisy, 157 cases have occurred, 12 of which have tau:Mated
fatally.
" With regard to Small-pox which the Medical Committee have rea-
son to believe has been very general in the town, few cases have occurred
in the practice of the Dispensary. The whole number reported are 92 ;
of these four had been satisfactorily vaccinated, the fifth had been taken
once to be vaccinated, but had not been reported as secure ; this last
died, as did also four others, who had neither had the tonall-pox nor
cow-pock previously."
The following sensible petition, from the Co-operative Society of
this town. on the present oppressive imposts on the press, is we. thy of
record :
To the honourable the House of Commons, &c &c. Ake.
That the taxes and other restrictions on the press generally, but more
particularly on newspapers and political pamphlets, have been long and
seriously felt as a grievous burden by your petitioners.
It is only an enlightened population which can fully estimate the ad-
vantages. of good government, and which yields, from the impulse of
reason and affection, thaeobedience to the laws, which is exacted from
the ignorant by the servile terror of punishment alone. It is an unde-
niable fact, that the imposts and restrictions of which your petitioners
complain, check the progress of knowledge, and diminish the means by
which public opinion exercises a salivary and efficient control over pub-
lic men and public measures, thus closing the most powerful organ
which the people possess.
Your petitioners further beg leave to state, that they have put • into
successful operation, certain plans and arrangements fur improving their
physical and moral condition, which, if known and practised by the
working classes generally. they verily believe would speedily reline
the great and appalling distress which now stalks through the land ;
and which; would, ultimately, by annihilating the CAUSES, prevent
the recurrerce of distress. Your petitioners represent, however, that
they ale mainly deprived of the most efficient means—the press—by
which they can extensively disseminate a knowledge of these plans to
their fellow-countrymen, by reason of the many taxes and restrictit ns
with which it is burdened.

The Liverpotil and Birmingham Rail-road Bill to Choilion, in
Cheshire, has passed the standing order committee, the bill being
brought in and read a first time ; but we understand that petitions
against its full compliance with the standing orders will probably bring
it back to that ordeal of formula in a few days. This half of the pro.
posed here between Liverpool and Lirmingham is a distinct bill, under
the sole conduct and controul of Liverpool (butters. Sherwood and
Thorpe are Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Pritt and Clay the solicitors.
The second portion of the line, from Chcalton to Birmingham, coned.
lutes the second bill, under the exclusive direction of the Birmingham
Committee, Messrs. Barker and Son, solicitors. The petition for this
1411 and the deposit of the requisite papers were lodged on Wednesday,
and notice given of passing the Standing Orders yesterday, the result of
which we cannot, of course, give till next week. That petidon also will
probably be referred bock to a Committee, on its fortau/o, as hostile
Landowners and Canal Companies
_ are in array against every step.
it•rtanaar INTWENN WIGAN AND LIVIRPOOL.-11 a railroad
could be established from Wigan to Liverpool, there are 100,000 acres
of peat, tar boat than Chat Moss, capable of cultivation, and which,
in a •ivr years, with the assistance of %igen and Latham coal, and a
row stearo-enginee, m*ht be capable of vitriol/ as much corn and po-
tatoes as would hod 10,000 people annually. ould not this be cheaper
and better than transporting them to Canada or Australia ?
BANK Roasene.—On Thursday night, the banking.house of Mr.
James Aspinall, in Liverpool, was entered by some thieves. who
carried uff about 8001. in cash, and bills to a large amount. which,
of course, will be of little avail to them. The penetrators of this
robber, was evidently of a mote accomplished order of depredatom
than this neighbourhood products; they effected their entry by re.
moving an outside hanging lock, which they afterwards replaced, and
picking the other locks which they also fastened again on retiring.

the decided opinion of those best acquainted with the subject, that it
