the year ending the 25th of March, 1818, were
12,455/. 12s. sd. and its expenditure, 11,724/. 9s. Id-

expected to produce the sum of 1,0001. which sum
has been engaged for the purchase of the Ginguen-
rle Library, at Paris. The duplicates of Dr. BUR-
sEy's Library, which cannot be sold before the year
1819, are expected to produce a sum of between
three and four thousand pounds ; and will be brought
into the account as a deduction from the Parliamen-
tary Grant for that year.—The number of persons
admitted to view the Museum during last year, was
50,172, being nearly double the number admitted
in 1812.

Wind S.—Arrived the Lady Arabella packet with
a Mail from Lisbon, in twelve days. Sailed the Mar-
quis of Salisbury pasket with a Mail for the Brazils.

Yesterday morning the LORD CHANCELLOR and the
Earl of LIVERPOOL had audiences of the PRINCE Ra-
GENT at. Carlton Hollse. The Duke of CUMBERLAND
visited his Royal Brother. At four o'clock, the RE-
GENT, attended by the Right Hon. CIIARLES LONG,
went to the British Institution, in Pall Mall, where
his Royal Highness remained two hours.
According to the Roman Almanack, there are still
three Hats to give away, in order to complete the
number of Cardinals, which is fixed at seventy. The
number of Cardinals who have died during the Pon-
tificate of his present Holiness, amounts to sixty.
NEW SPECIES OP SWINDLING.—A person who lately
purchased a church in Liverpool, on which was ex-
pended 5001. in repairs and improvements, but for
which the unfortunate architect has never been paid,
and who has obtained various large sums from his
congregation in advance, and hoaxed numerous trades-
men out of their clothes, jewellery, and luxuries of
every description, has left his numerous creditors in
astonishment; for he was thought to be one of the
most honourable, eloquent, pious clergymen that
ever alighted in that region. To crown the whole,
it has been discovered that this pattern of sacerdotal
purity was by profession a dancing-master, and it is
supposed that this discovery hastened his flight.
