and on Sunday laic a squadron of the 7th Ilus,ar,, web
their three inches of whiskers to frighten us, arrive
here from Dublin ; they were accompanied by a half

'a most formidable appearance coming into the town—
the cannons were regularly mounted, matches arid
sponges in readinesss—the Hussars with their carbines
loaded. The first division of the 21,t Regiment waved
here yesterday—the grand division comes in on Monday.
and I an informed we are to have a full dozen of regi•

A letter from Dahlia, of the 14th inst. says—et The
Government have at length adopted decisive measures
with regard to the North, of the alarming state of which
an account has already appeared. Tea pieces of arta-
•lery were dispatched this morning for the North; their
particular destination is said to be for the county ot
Monaghan. The 87th Regiment, it is stated, are under
orders for Ireland, and the North is pointed as their
destination. It is reported that it is the determination
of the Government to disarm the Catholic population.

Yesterday afternoon a numerous Meeting of Portu-
guese Merchants, and others connected with Portugal,
was held at the City of London Tavern, to receive the
Report' of the Committee appointed at a former Meeting,
to draw up the *Address intended to be presented to the
Queen of PORTUGAL, and also to make choice of the

who was employed with some other men in taking down
a wall at the back of the stage of the Italian Opera
House, fell from the scaffold, a.height of 15 feet, and
received such injuries that be died shortly after. A
Coroner!' Jury returned a verdict—Accidental Death.

A few days since, ai some men were digging in a
quarry near one of the ancient Roman roads in Ole
neighbourhood of Cirencester, they broke a large stonz..,
in which was found the iron head of a spear, a ei:,shing
'several pounds, and barbed like the point of an arrow.
It was embedded and completely surrounded with the
stone,in which no aperture was observed through which
the weapon could hare been forced. •
Letters from Vienna, of the 4th instant, state, that
the Russian army before Schumla was, at the time of
its retreat, in such want of provisions as :cutely to have
two ounces of bread per day for each soldier, with halt
a pint of water. The Metalliques, on the 4th instant,
were 94i to 94.
By a letter arum Andover we learn, that on Monday
last very few hops were sold on that day. They were
asking from nine to ten guineas per cwt. for prime
samples; but for a very few inferior samples the sellers
demanded from 81. to 81.8 s. for Farnham hops; for
country bops the prices were from 71. to 81. The opi-
nion is, that the country hops are in a better condition
than may be expected from their colour. At the close
on Monday there was not much inclination to do boll.

Most persons have heard of Beauchief Abbey, and
many, besides our neighbours, have visited it for the
sake of the picturesque beauty of the vale in which it
is situated; but few, however, may be aware that in the

The Russians have never been celebrated for libera-

lity towards medical men ; but it was only under the
Emperor PAUL that they were treated with indignity.
Au English surgeon who went out at the same time as
Sir MIDIZIF %LIS, who was appointed to a regiment,
was ordered, when there.was no one sick on the list, to
act as barber, and shave a certain number of the men.
On refusing to do this he was tied up, and underwent a
severe flagellation.
Letters firms Leipsic, of. the Ist of October, say—
" Busisessis already very brisk at our fair, though it
commenced' only the day before yesterday. The whole-
sale dealers ,did a great deal of business last week with
the purchaiers for the Lower Danube, in articles neces-
sary for the armies. The decay of the printing and
book trade is severely felt at Leipsic."
Last Mniiday morning, at ten minutes to two o'clock,
the Henry Bell steamer, on her way from• Liverpool to
Greenock, sustained considerable damage in conse-1
?:eziacs of coming in collision with a schooner. beta een
sh and Brodick Bay. The wind was blowing fresh
from the north east, and the night being very dark,'
three lights were placed on different parts of the steamer,'
and the necessary bands stationed owdeck. The schooner
bad no lights, and, of course, was not seen till almost
within two lengths. The engine was immediately stopped,
but without effect, as the schooner ran aboard of her,
and carried away her foremast, which it shattered in
pieces, and stove in her stern bow. Fortunately, there
were no persons on deck but what were necessary, else
the consequenceansight have been full. Besides having
no light out, there was no person on the deck of the
schooner but the pilot. The shock which the vessel re.
ceived, however, brought her careless crew above ; but,
although informed of the damage they had done, they
showed the greatest callousness as to the result; and
bringrepeatedly asked what vessel she was, no other
information could be got than that she was thelOhn,
which was communicated by a boy. Steam tessels ex-
perience very great inconsfraience in conseqUence of
sailing vessels being so remiss in neglecting to have
lights cut; in the channel it is absolutely necessary, and
'if-accidents occur, and the sailing vessels be the suf-
ferers, they have only themselves to blame.—Greens. Adv.
