Sir William Alexander, of Menstrie, (in Scotland),
Knight, an eminent person in his tin*, was. in 1625,
created Premier Baronet of Nova Scotia, on the first in-
stitution of that Order ; in 1630 he was created Lord
Alexander of Tollibodie, and Viscount of Stirling, to
Lim and' his heirs male, bearing the name and arms of
Alexander. In 1633 he was advanced to the dignity of
Earl of Stirling, and Viscount Canada, with the like li-
mitations. But a few years afterwards, having lost his
eldest and two other sow, and witnessing the declining
health of his surviving sons, and fearing that in the
event of failure of the heirs male of' his own body, his
honour might devolve upon distant collaterals, he made
a surrender of his titles to the King (according to the
errata:ar of e lave rf Scotland), and on the 7th of De-
cember, 16'39, charter of novo-ctnaus,whereby
the fore3aid tillei t err tcli nked, tul specially entailesl,
upon failure of I:eils male of the Earl's body, tt) de.
scend to tl:e eldest h s female, and their issue nbile re-
spectively, who should be the next heir female to the
last heir mole succeeding to the dignities granted.—
Under this limitation, upon the .death of the fifth Earl
of Stirling in 1789, 'without issue, the family honours
descended upon the issue male of the fourth son of the
first Earl, namely, to John, his grandson, who was a
Presbyterian Minister of tl.eE,tablishedChurch of Scot-
land, then-residing in Dublin. He deceased sexy shortly
afterwards, leaving two sons and two daughters, all in
early minority. The two sons died very young men,
without issue, whereby the two sisters, Mary and Han-
nah, became co-heiresses ; buj as the honours were to go
to-the eldest heir female without division, the former
was entitled. to them, and died unmarried in 1794;
whereby her only surviving sister, Hannah, became sole
heiress to the Earldom, &c. This Lady married Wm.
Humphrys, Esq. of the Larches, in the county of War-
wick, and died at Worcester in 1814, leavin? Alexander
Humphrys, Esq. (by courtesy Viscount .triada) her
duly son and heir, who has taken the surname. of Alex-
ander, pursuant to the restrictive clause of the charter
of tone-dams, by virtue of his Majesty's royal license
and authority, dated Carlton House, March 8, 1824.

We have received the Gazeta Mercankl, a Buenos
Ayres paper, of.the 14th of March, which contains a
dispatch giving an official account of the affair of
Cochabamba, in which eight hundred of the troop.
belonging to the Spanish division ofOLANETA were de
frated by the forces of Buenos Ayres. The same jour
nal contains, under dare of Match 5, an account t.f a
popular commotion at Cordova, about the eection of a
Governor. The military were called out, the Gover-
nor was insulted, and subsequently the Assembly of
Representatives was dissolved. A nitice is given to

A young Lady by the name of Pitatace, 'at Wool-

moments, was addressing her. They were 5 th buried
in the same grave.
Sunday se'nnight, a boy named Conner having

plunged into the animal's cheek, and the poor fellow
dropped to the ground with she lots of his aim nearly

About half-past twelve o'clock on Monday night a
watchman, turned Ebenezer Smith, was attacked, in Booth-street,
Spitaffields, by a number of ruffians,who beat him se dreadfully with
sticks and stones, that he was conveyed to the Hospital in a state of
insensibility, and still lies there in a very dangerous state. The
parish officers have offered a handsome reward for the discovery of
the Wenders.
DREADFUL FIRE AT BOURDEAVX.—On the 2d of
June a dreadful fire happened about eight o'clock in the evening at
Becalm, in the warehouses of M. Borax, in the occupation of
News. Morita, BALGUIIIIII4 and Co. Toms and Co. and others.
The premises contained a considerable quantity of spirits. The
lames spread with frightful rapidity. The rope-yard of M. Roos-
main soon became a prey to the devouring element, as well as many
blouses adjacent. Upwards of 2500 pieces of brandy were contuand,
with other merchandise.

THE BANQUETTINt ROOM IN ST. JAMES'S'
PALACE
The banquetting-mom in St. James's Palace is de-
serving of peculiar notice, as preseniing one of the
most nnibusi and beautiful instances of how splendour
and simplicity may be coatbined in an apartment, that
pet haps is to be seen in Europe. The room is thagni•
, ficently extensive in Its length, width, and height. The
colour is plain white and gold, which kas, ai displayed in'
this this apartment, an effect in pOint of beauty that to be
appreciated requires to be seen. The furniture consists of
settees round the room of crimson, damask, s.tin and
gold frames, with crimson carpet to match. There are
six doors of entrance, all at the same end, to this superb
room, over which are beauti'ully executed, in gold, the
armorial shields of the six different Orders of which his
M.ijewty is Sovereign; and suspended from the ceiling are
five chandeliers in gold to correspond : the whole most
harmoniously combining to form an apartment worthy
0- a Sovereign whose taste it was designed to gratify.
Indeed, the whi•le of the new alterations made for the
purposes of Court and Drawing-room days in this
Palace, are of the most complete and accommodating
description. It is scarcely credible, that out of the ruins
which this part of the Palace presented not long ago,
such spacious entrances and magnificent apartments
could have been designed and executed, without the
eradicating of the whole tottering edifice, which u a"
'"tout owessile" is a disgrace to the country in point of external
appearance, for a Monarch's Palace. The design and execution,
we understand, hare been under the direction of a Gentleman
named Hunt, an architect, whose simple and elegant style of taste
on this occasion does him infinite credit. -

WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS.

JUNE 9.WALICIR N. DOWD.

The plaintiff, Walker, a little dandy fifcl Gentleman
in black, claimed 10s. of Mr. Dowd, 'a plain matter-of-
fact personage, also in black, which Mr. Dowd denied
that he owed, and the fashionable-looking sprig was
put upon his proof. He stated that he was a waiter—
what a sinking I we had taken him for a blood of the
first water—that Mr. Dowd had engaged him at the
liberal salary of 15s. a week; that for two days he
waited with all due diligence, and would h..ve wai ed
longer, but that at the end of these two days, Mr. Dowd
turned him away, paying him but ss. instead of "156.,
that he had since waited a considerable time for there:
maining 10s. and finding that if he waited till the day
of doom, heshould not get it, he had altered his mind,
was determined to wait no longer, and had therefore
summoned Mr, Dowd.

Mr. Dowd now told his story; which went very ma-
terially to shake 'the statement of the exquisite little
Gentleman who had just finished. He admitted that
having been in want of a waiter, he hod certainly en-
gaged Mister Walker, and at 15s. a week ; but he had
scarcely so done, when Mister Walker walked off,
saying he had not yet given notice at his last place,
Mr. Green's, of Serle-street, Lincoln's Inn, but that he
would go and do so, and be back in no time. This was
early in the morning ; but Mr. Dowd finding that the
day was fleeti. g away, and no Mister Walker re-
turned, he did the best thing he could, viz. accepted
the ser vices of another young man, who offered them.
Towards evening, in walked Mister Walker, who was
told how matters stood: 'he did not at all seem to re-
lish the situation of things, and Mr. Dowd told him
that as it was Thursday, and they were busy, he might
remain, if hz liked, till Saturday, at 2s. 6d. Lday ; to
this Walker agreed. For that night all was quirt, bat
on Friday, when dinner time arrived, he made Mr.
Dowd's hotel almost too hot to hold him, for he not'
only quarrelled with all the other srrvants about the
premises, but he cock toll of all the liquors and wines
he had to carry to the customers, till he became Lr-
tally unfit to carry any more. and was himself carried ,
off, having first received the ss. before mentioned.
1.4' prove all ttie, Mr. Dowd catled one of his waiters,
who corroborated nearly the whole, saying, that of all
the men he ever met, Walker was the most quarrel.
some; and that towards the Friday evening in question,
he got very peer, which queer nest he supposed had
arisen from his having sipped a little of the nectareous
juices he had to convey to the different dinner parties.'
The CoststisstoNerta dismissed the case, considering
that the-waiting Mr. Walker had been paid quite as
well as he deserved.

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND, not
being quite recovered front his recent indisposition, held a Council,
on the tith inst. nt the Phoenix Park, when the Baronies of Middle-
third and ClanwiUlam, in the county of Tippetary, and of Orrery
and Kilgnore, Feeney, and West 'Alu.kerry, in the county of Cork,
were relieved from the Insurrection Act ; its•operation is now re-
moved from the whole of the Sister Kingdom, these being the only
districts from which it bad not previou.ly been withdrawn. -..This
most desirable result is to be attributed to the prudence and ability
of Lord Wectssi.cr, andao the address with which the Fovereigo
authority has been exercised for the best interests of Ireland;

The Royal Godens, Vauxhall, if we may judge from
the very numerous and elegant - attendances this week, are
likely to have a foCaIOU of singular succels and popularity. The
improvements introduced appear judicious and tasteful, and the en-
tertainments and music deserve the highest praise; the lighting of
the Gardens generally, and the fireworks, are brilliant in the ex-
treme. With these manifold attractions the Proprietors may be
well assured of ample remuneration and high public favour. We
hear dart this evening some distinguished company will be present.
Last week, in Dumfries, a town remarkable for the,
health, longevity, and cheer fulness of its inhabitants,
a Lady and Gentleman, whose united ages amounted
to one hundred and sixty years, danced* country dance,
with great life and spirits.
Thursday, the 2d instant, a man who appeared dumb,
passed through Laxton, near Wansford, Northampton.
shire, selling needles and buttons; his behaviour to
those who would not buy of him, was very menacing,
and he spat in one woman's face. At the end of the
village, he found three children at play, and in an in-
stant stabbed one in the neck with a knife, and caused
her death. The villain was traced to Cliffe, and there
lost. Ile wore a dark Wellington coat, with grey fus-
tian trowsers, and carried before bins a small dark
green or blue box, containing his water. The box hung
by straps from his shoulders ; and the words 18 White-
chapelorLondon," were on the strap behind his neck.
It is hoped that, from this account, the monster may be
apprehended, and taken to Laxton to be identified.
ROBBERY OF THE TWICKENHAM SAVINGS' RANK.
The extent to which the Twickenham Savings' Bank
bas been robbed, was declared, on Saturday last, by a
resolution of a Special Meeting, to amount to neatly
£7,000 ; viz. £3,607 16s. 'lid. of which the Bank
has been defrauded by its late Secretary ; and a far-
ther sum of £3,109 15s. lOid. fraudulently retained
by the Secretary, which had been confided to him by
depositors, but irregularly—that is, entrusted to him
contrary to the rules of the Establishment.
It is calculated that twenty thousand emigrants de.
part annually from Great. Britain and Ireland, for

Sir James Colburn appeared to a summons served es him by
