LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION;

Gomm baclug, M.D:President,
•
In the presence of the several Officers of the Institutioni
At the conclusion of the ceremony. Dr. litartatcre
came forward and addressed the meeting.
The Company then adjourned to the Crown and An•
chor Tavern to dinner, Dr. BIRKBECK in the Chair.
Upwards of 200 sat down to dinner, amorg 0 horn were
Alderman Wood, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Hume.
After the cloth was removed, Dr. BIRYBECK rose to
propose "the health of his MAJESTY"—(Applause.)—
There was an additional reason for his doing so on the
present occasion, for they would recollect that a Meet-
ing had been held in the course of the present year, for
the purpose of doing honour to the memory of a man,
who had started in life as a mechan;c, and afterwards
became one of the most distinguished benefactors of his
country. At that Meeting, to record the memory of a
man of humble origin, splendid progress, and glorious
conclusion, the first Minister of the Crown attended.
and declared that he had his Majesty's commands to
hope that the Royal name would stand at the head of
the subscribers' list to Mr. Watt's monument. Thus did
the Monarch of the greatest nation upon earth do ho-
mage to the majesty of genius. The King's health was
then drank with loud applause.
The other usual toasts beivig gone through,
The CHAIRMAN proposed "Prosperity to the London
Mechanics Institution."
Mr. BROUGHAM nest rose to address the meeting.
and was received with great applause. He commented
at length on the value of the Mechanics Institution,
and the services such establishments were calcul.ted to
render the country.

After some other toasts had been gone through,
Dr. BIRKBECIC next proposed " the health: of Messrs.
Robertson and Hodgskin, the Editors of the Mechanics'
Magazine," a publication which first suggested, and had
been mainly instrumental in advancing the objects of
.the Mechanics' Institution—(Cheers.)
Mr. HODOSKUI, in the absence of Mr. Robertson, re-
turned thanks in a seat speech, 'in the course of which
he corrected an error into which the Edinburgh Review
had fallen, in attributing to Dr. Bilkbeck the merit of
having founded the London Mechanics' Institution.-
4, The fact was," said Mr. Hodgskin, ,‘ that the idea of
such an Institution first occurred to Mr. Robertson,
with whom Mr. Hodgskin was then ass,)ciated ir, con.
ducting that work, that he mentioned tte ik:ea to Mr..
Hodgskin, that they talked it over, and that he (Mr.
Hodgskin) drew up the paper, which, witlr some altera•
tions by Mr. Robertson, was published, proposing the
formation of a Mechanics Institution. They had cer-
tainly caught the idea from the Institution at Glasgow,
and from the school of Arts at Edinburgh; but at the
time the Paper was published, neither of them knew than
Dr. Birkbeck was alive, and knew not thatite was in
London."
Several other toasts were drank, and at 10 o'clock the
President left the Chair.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, DEC. V.
The betting to-day was not se extensive as on Monday; but it'
was pretty brisk on two or three horses, and to some amount. The
bones which attracted the greatest share of attention were Rufus,
Muleteer and the Duke of York's colt ; the latter has risen three
or four points, and in all probability will shortly become first fa-
vourite, as Muleteer has fallen back half a point.—The following
is a statement of the odds:

The 13th Regiment of Foot had scarcely landed in India, whew .
it was ordered on active service, in conjunction with the 38th aced
41st Regiments, under Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, ,
of the 58th, against the Burmese. By the last accounts we have
to regret the loss of Lieut. Howard, of that Regiment, who was
killed in an assault on one of the enemy's stockades. This Regiment
was a considerable time in the West Indies during the war in the
.Peninsula and France. and landed in India its full complement of
wee,. which induced the Military Commander to take advanuge
of its cadent state.

ANTIQUITIES; DISCOVERED.
During the first days of last May, the. Sienr Pamfilcs.
di Pietro, while investigating the ancient ruins of the
arbour of the city of Porto, discovered there the fob!
lowing articles of art : 1. A statue, which be considers'
lobe that of Neptune, eleven palms high ; 2. Another!
statue, a female robed, and without a bead, also eleveni
palms high ; 3. An imperial statue, without feet
head, from nine to ten palms; 4. Two busts, onS
tire, the other broken, larger than life ; 5. Ali
without a bead, of a size above nature ; 6. Fottl.M,
lumns of Greek marble, about twelve palms high, not;
complete; 7. A fragment of black marble, four halms
long, by two high, and two wide.
The situation where' these statues were found,
pears to have been a bath : it was descended by stein
The facings of the walls were cased with different kinds
of marble. In the middle of the pavement, are two,
large stones of Verd Antique colour, nine palms long,'
by four and a half wide.

We cannot help calling attention, while upon this
subject, to a beautiful pedestal, bearing inscriptions,
in which it is real that Finvianus Alexander Cresco-
nilus, prefect of provisions at Rome, has raised a statue
• to the Emperors Theodosius and Valentinean, for the
deco, ation of a portico which was discovered last year
on the shores of the harbour, and which was presented
by the proprietor to Cardinal Bishop of Porto.—Nerin

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.

-

The last volume of the Archseologia Americana
or, Memoirs of the American Society of Ardtaology,
containsinsetesting details respecting the monuments of
a people who inhabited the banks of the Ohio before
the invasion of the Delawares and the Iroquois, or Min-
gones, who expelled them from this country, one or two
centuries before the discovery of Christopher Columblm,
Numerous traces of the existence of this ancient people,
such as fragments of architecture, the remains of
trenched fields, &c. were already known; but two mo-
numents of greater interest have recently been crib-
covered. They are two idols, which in every respect
recall to mind the mythology of Asia. One is composed
of three heads, united in a triangle, and resembles those
figures of the Indian trinity which are not unfretwently
met with in the cabinets of antiquarians: two of these
heads exhibit marks of tattooing. The other idol has
the features and attitude of those Buskhans or celestial
spirits which are to be found among the Burge', the
Calmoncks, and other mongrel hordes, and drawings of
which Pallas has given in his work. Several symbols
engraved on the breast, might pass for Thibetian cba.
rimers. These monuments appear to indicate some an-
cient connection between the people of Asia and those
of North America. Several learned men have been
lately induced to make the same conjecture by a com-
parison of certain dialects used in these two parts of
the world.

THE LATE SIR W. HERECHELL.—A correspondent,
prOpsing that a public monument sbould be erected
to the memory of the late Sir W. Herschel), obisam,
la A simple
,marble, in an obscure country church, is all
t',at, perhaps, could have been expected from his family:.
But the nation he selected as the worthiest field fur the
exercise ofhisextraordinarypowers, is interested in mark-
ing him as its own by some more conspicuous sign, and
can never suffer a name so closely associated with its no-
blest intellectual triumphs to drop unnoticed into oblivion
with the vulgar herd. J. feel satisfied, that the subject:
need only be thus alluded to, to ensure its notice in the
ensuing Session of Parliament."

The following melancholy accident happened on Tues-
day se'nnight, at a brewery in the Hardgrae, neigh,
bourhood of Aberdeen. The brewer had gone up to
ascertain, with a sounding rod, the quantity of liquor
remaining in a large vat, which had been at work, and
nearly drawn off, but found, on taking off the hatch at
the top of the vat for that purpose, that the gas was, too,
strong for him, although a very little liqpor..to the.
depth of.fifteen inches, remained, and. he immediately.
desisted from the attempt. Another workman, however,
in the brewery, on seeing this, wagered he would readily
do it, and having ascended to the top, put his head
within the hatch, and had' just given notice to some
persons near him, that he had accomplished his object,
when the rod was heard: to fall into the vat, and he was
observed immediately to stoop or fall forward, with his
head downward. This gave an alarm to, the bye-
standers, who, on endeavouring to rescue the poor man,
found that he was confined by one of the shoulders
within the hatch, which was only sixteen inches.square,
and from eighteen inches to two feet from the roof or
ceiling above; so that before assistance could be,had to
overcome these obstacles, and to extricate, the unfor-
tunate sufferer, some time elapsed, when life was found
to be quite extinct.
'The following affecting and remarkable. scene took
place. in Conn's•ckse, during the recent fires, in Edin-
burgh. The fire was rapidly approaching. the spot
where a veteran soldier, John M,Dobald, aged 100, lay
lb in bed. He wished not tole disturbed, but hii-daogh-
ter, of the name of Fraser, took him on her Ikack an
carried him to a place oft:safety, regardless of every
thing else. They have been twice butnt out.

Koss.—At this place, on Thursday, the Mail and other
coaches were prevented by the depth of water from
crossing Wilton-bridge. Boats were employed all day
in effecting the transit of passengers across the flood. A
party of Gentlemen went out in the afternoon to amuse
themselves on the beautiful expanse of water. Their
vessel was of slight construction, and its bottom strik-
ing upon some paling, was perforated to an alarming,
extent. The amateurs endeavoured, by means of pocket,
handkerchiefs, ltc. to stop the leak : the boat con-
tinued to fill, and the voyagers had but just time armies
to reach a tree, on which they climbed, before their
so slender bark" became incapable of keeping th*na
afloat. They were safely imported by a passing skiff, to
the transport of themselves and friends.

A letter to the Editor of a Dublin Paper says—" The
Protestants are discontinuing (in all perishes in which
the Rent is collected) their contributions to Me Poor
Lists. In the church of the parish in which I reside,
the enllectioa varied from 51. to 81. exclusive of Sacra-
mental Sundays; but now, since the t ent has been levied
la this parish, the collection on any Sunday has never
eo[seeded 81. and fiequently does not amount to half
that sum. Now, air, for another fact—this collective is
divided among tisirty.six poor persons, and but two of
whom are Protestants; the rest, thirty-four in number,
are Papists."
Tuesday last, Mr. White, Supervisor of Hythe, in
company with Mr. Haynes, Officer of Excise, of New
Romney, were surveying the Dungeness District, and
proceeding about a quarter of a mile to the westward
of Dungeness Light House, on horseback ; Mr. Whim
on the full, and Mr. Haynes under the full, they wars
conversing together without apprehension of danger,
when Mr. Haynes was suddenly struck on the side of
the head, by a most tremendous sea, which in an in.
scant unhorsed him, and left him with the animal
buffeting with the boisterous element. Mr. Haynes im-
mediately made every effort to gain the shore, which,
after the greatest difficulty he fortunately attained, but
on looking round and seeing his companion struggling
with the waves, he immediately plunged again iota the
breakers, which were then running mountains high, to
sitvehis faithful beast, and succeeded in getting bold of
the bridle, when after having both disappeared, for
sonic seconds, they were thrown by the swell of a sea
with violence on the shore, without susiiirang injury.
The King of France lately visited the magnificent
Church of Sr. Genevieve (the ancient Pantheon) to ex-
amine the historical paintings with which Mr. Gros had
been charged so decorate the interior of the dome.
After having admired their effect and beauty, and paid
a high complieseet to the genius of the artist, as he was
about leaving the place he suddenly addressed him in
the following, moaner On coining here I called
you Mr. Gros: permit me at the moment of quitting.

M U RIDE R.

Friday morning, aboot five o'clock,,_the inhabitanti,
of Blake-street, near Blownlow-bill, Liverpool, were
alarmed by the intorMation of a murder that bad been
cmrimirted by Joseph Wilkin, a bailiff, in the employ
of Mr. Green, upon the body of his wife, Alison Wiltin.'
He came home on Thursday night, about nine o'clock,
rather intoxicated, went out again, and returned about,
ten, when his wife and children were all in bed, she
being unwell from his beating her the previous evening.
He pulled her out of bed, and kicker] and beat her in a
most cruel manner, notwithstanding she piteously sup-
plicated him to desist. When he at length left off, she
crawled to a chair, but was scarcely seated when he
knocked her down, and when she again recovered, she
eras similarly treated. Upon the last occasion, she
received a violent blow on the bead with a jug. His
savage brutality continued at intervals, until abftt three
o'clock ; she was exhausted, and he then laid her in bed)
and actually also went into the same bed 1 The children,
during this time, were afraid to make an outcry, know-
ing his furious temper. About (nor o'clock he Called
his eldest child, about eleven years of age, the oldest
of five, told her her mother was dead, and that the
must call the neighbours. A Doctor was also called,
but she was quite dead, and the watchmen took him
off to llridewell.

A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday, but ad-
journed. In the meantime the body was examined;
and it was found, that in addition to the severe wounds
about the head, and ♦iolent contusions about the body,
arms, hands, and legs, there were three ribs on the left
side, and seven-on the right side broken, some of them
in two places: Verdict," Wilful Murder."
, The deceased bore an excellent character. The pri-
,soner was committed to Lancaster for trial. •

DRItADVUL EXPLOSIONS OF GAL—The first of these
explosions, which terrified the inhabitants of Bell-street,
Lisson-green, occurred on the 19th November, at No.
10. A woman, on going to draw water, and having a
lighted candle in her hand, ignited some gas, which set
her cap on fire. The poor woman, alarmed, ran up
stairs in a blaze. The whole of the lodgers were much
alarmed, as the house absolutely shook. The violence
of the explosion was so great as to burst the first floor
door open. The blaze in the kitcben, where the water
butt is situated, was a body of flame, but was put out
by the prompt assistance of the neighbours. On the
29th, another explosion took place at Mr. Wheeley'a„
No. 7, in the same street. Mr. Wheeley, on going
to see that the ball of the wate: cock was proyeily si-
tuated for the coming in of the water, and raising a
light for that purpose, a tremendous explosion took
place, which knocked him on his back with great vio-
lence, and burnt the side of his face, at the same time
forcing off the ball, which fell to the bottom of the bast.
At the same time another explosion took place at N 0.56,
opposite, which did considerable damage. Mr. Dear-
don, who is the proprietor of N.). 7, went yesterday to
Shioffice of the Union Company, to inform the Director
it(the dreadful situation of the persons in Bell-street,
which Free, the engineer of that Company's district, ,
'ottman-squire; was immediately dispatched to the
irectors of the Gas Company. Another explosion took '
place last night at No. 56, in the same street, where a
man had his face dreadfully burnt.
An Act was passed in the 4th of his present Majesty,
'63r punishing with transportation for 14 years the re.
.ceivers of stolen goods before the principals have been
aoavicted. The first person tried under this Act was a
man named Daniel Griffiths. He was charged with
having received a. Bank-note to the amount of. 1001.
from a young woman called Stir Poll, knowing
it was stolen. Stif Poll badstolen it from one Thomas
M,Kinnon ; but she was not to be found, and therefore
Griffiths was put to the bar by himself, before the R. ,
comma. A conviction took place, and he was trans-
ported for 14 years, no objection having been made to
the conviction by the Counsel for the prisoner. Sti
Poll having wished to accompany her friend, no longer
thought proper to conceal herself. She was soon after
apprehended, tried, found guilty, and disposed of in a
similar manner. At the latter end of last year a man,
named Pemberton, was tried under the same Act, for
receiving stolen property. Tfie principal liras not ap-
prehended. Pemberton was convicted. Mr. BRODIUCK,
for the prisoner, objected that the decision under the
Act of George IV. for punishing receivers widiont
convicting the principals, could not be sustalaed. The
pint was reserved by Mr. Mum, who tried the case,
fer the consideration of the twelve Judges, who decided
in favour of the. objection, aid a pardon was intim.
.diately sent down to Pemberton. Mr. Baron Hommel.
In his address to the Grand Jury at York, observed, that
the Act was not available. Griffiths, of course, aids
certainly guilty of the offence he was charged with,
been punished contrary to law.
