IPSWICH.

On the arrival In this town of the death of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Yoakum 'Saturday last, the bells were tolled in our
several Cburebes. A similar mark of respect was paid to the illus-
trious deceased at Beetles, and many other towns in our district.

NORTHAMPTON.

In consequence of the melancholy tidings of the death of his
'Royal Highness the Duke of York.tke great bells of AU Saintsand
Sr. Giles's, were tolled on Monday morning for some time. At
Towoester, and other places in this neighbourhood. the bells of the
.rveral Churches were tolled for a considerable time.

IT SIR WALTIR SCOTT.

In the person of his Royal Highness the Duke of York
we may justly say, in the language of Scripture," There
has fallen this day in our Israel, a Prince, and a great
man." He has, from an early period of his manhood,
performed a most important part in public life. In the
early wars of the French Revolution, he commanded
the British bones on the Continent, and although we
claim not for his memory the admiration due to the
rare and high gifts which in our latter times must com-
bine to form a miltary genius of the first order, yet it
has never been disputed that in the field his Royal
Highness displayed intelligence, military skill, and his
family attribute—the most unalterable courage. He
had also the universal testimony of the army for his
efforts to lessen the distresses of the privates during the
horrors of an unsuccessful campaign, in which he
acquired, and kept to his death, the epithet of the sol-
dier's ft iend.

But it is not on account of these early services that
we now, as boldly as our poor ♦oice may, venture t
bring forward the late Duke of York's claims to the
pet petual regard of his country. It is as the reformer
And regenerator of the British army, which he brought
tom a state nearly allied to general contempt, to such
4 pitch of excellence, that we may, without much hesi•
Ati,,n, claim for them an equality with, if not a sup..
rity over, any troops in Eutope. The Duke of York
ad the firmness to look into and examine the causes
which, ever since the American war, though arising out

• Tuesday evening the Theatre Royal Caledonian Theatre, and
raker place. .4 public amusement, were closed, in consequence'of
the death of the Duke York; and yesterday the Royal standard at
the Castle was bohted half-mast high.—Caledonian Mercury.
OXFORD. . .
The melancholy intelligence of the death of his Royal Highness
the Duke of York arrived in this Clty about one o'clock in the
afternoon of Saturday last. On Sunday all the !sense& the Univer-
dty and the City were tolled in minute time fur an boar. We ars
of opinion, and we know that many others think the same, that the
solemn effect of tolling hells is entirely lost when such a long inter.
val as a minute takes place between each found. Half-minute time,
as practt•ed in London and most other places, much exceeds minute
.time in point of solemnity. .

STOCKPORT.
•
Every respect has been pdd by our inhabitants to the memory of
hil Royal Highness since the announcement of his death. The
bell+ in the tower of the parish church were muffied, and a mourning
peal rag on Sunday evening, which has been repeated every even-
Ong siceond will continue to be so till the interment takes place.

BRIDGEWATER.
The regret Which every true lover of big country must feel for
the death of a Prince, who was the invariable supporter of its Re-
ligion and. Laws, could not be more demonstrated than in the smoff
bat loyal town of Axbrldge. On Monday, and since, every shop
has bete partially closed ; and the muffled bell, during the whole of
Sunday rifeht, reminded many a heart of the severe loss they and
&Aland had au rained.
"" 45 da" • WEYMOUTH.
The official intelligence of the death of his Royal Highness the
Blake of Trek was received here en Sunday last. At the conchs.
Apo of Divine Service in the afternoon, the deep and solemn tolling
of the (lurch bell announced the sad event, which affected the in-
habitants of this town with general and unfeigned sorrow at the
premiture diesolution of this truly excellent and beloved Prince.
On the following morning these feelings of attachment and regard
were fully testified by our shop windows being half closed, and by
the colours of all our shipping in the harbour and in the bay being
hoisted half-mast high ; the same token of respect was also observed
at the different Public Departments.

MILFORD.

The expected, though truly noeelCOM e, intelligence of the death
of his Royal Highnearthe Duke of York, has thrown the whole
neighbourhood into a state of grief and mourning. Balls and bunt-
ing-parties with all other amusements, have been suspended ; not
does any individual seem to regret their suspension, so deeply do
they partake in the stoked calamity. It is melancholy to look at
the ships in the harbour, each with its distinguished flag half-mast
high. The Royal standard, that flag which has been so often
hoisted at Pembroke Yard, on joyful occasions, is cow suspended
only half-way up.
London, England, 1827-01-13

LIVERPOOL

As soon as the intelligence of the death of its Royal Highness
the Duke of York reached here, Mr. Maary,die American Consul,
in a way highly honourable to his feelings, sent a rate to the masters
•rf the American vessels at present in this port, nesting that they
would pay the same mark of respect upon the meisoeidy event, as
would be paid by the British ships.

HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is
hisured by marriage; "the strictest tie of perpetual Friend-
-44P," is a gift froinHeaven, cementing pleasing with reason, by
which, says Johnson, "we approach in some degree of association
with celestial Intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but-
t* cleanse the grosser nature from these impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have el:stalkd upon it. To die
oeglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless
Instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will efemioize-the body—a residence in the
movies will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially dela the

theyare by the multiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience.

Mr. ADAK addressed their Lordships korai documentary eel.
dence, arguing that all that had been adduced before their
Lordships in favour of earryiag into effect the Order in Council
for the Manumission of Slaves, was visionary and theoretical:
chat his Learned Friends had not been able to produce any
proof of what they bad advanced in their speeches. The Learned
Gentleman contended, that the present Proprietor of Estates
were not the originators of Slavery, which bad been sanctioned
by Acts of Parliaments ; the Colonies had, even in the year 1770,
opposed the importation of Slaves. but were overrated by an
Order of the King in Council; that the right of the COIOIIIIO to
their Estates and Slaves, was as undoubted and legitimate as that of
Noblemen to their estates ; and that, should Emancipation be car-
ried Into effect, the property of the Planters would be eodangered,
maw estates could not be made to answer by free labour. The
Learned Gentleman concluded an argumentative and impressive
whims about three o'clock, when their Lordships adjourned.

REGATTA.

Poona. Sarr, B.—At our Regatta on Tuesday last, being a fine
day. with a brisk easterly wind, a great number of vessels were
seen under sail in every direction in the harbour. At ten o'clock
a gun was fired from the cutter, from whence the different matches
were to start. The first match was well contested by the Jane,
Hope, Mary, Greyhound, Swan, and the Two Brothers. The
prizes were awarded to the' Hope first, Jute second, and Grey-
bound third. The second match was also well contested by the
Martha and Jane, George, Active, Elizabeth, and Nimble. The
prizes were awarded to the Martha and Jane first, George second.
and Active third. The third match by nine clay boats, of from 15
to 21 tont, was well contested and afforded great amusement. The
fourth match was for a handsome emblasoned silk Sag, and was con-
tested for by four Gentlemen's yachts, viz. the Antar, T. Spurrier,
Esq. the Bermuda, Colonel Le Mesurler; the Nonpariel, E.
Fryer, Esq. and the Love, Mr: J. Manlaws; was particularly well
contested, and won by the Love, the others coming in close after.
Three excellent matches of Row Boats afforded great amusement
to the populace who were on the quay. In the evening there was
a vocal concert at the Town-hall, which was attended by nearly all
the gentry of the town and neighbourhood.

not altogether answer the expectation of the factors, higher prices
were demanded for fine samples of old, and what was sold obtained
fufl as high prices as on this day week. Fine malting Barley being
scarce, some fine samples sold as high as 375. per quarter; but the
middling sort remained undisposed of fur want of buyers. New
Beans sold for 435 per quarter ; but old ones command last Monday's
Prices. Peas were dull sale, but not lower. Oats are ts. per quarter

TURNPIICZ BILLS.

Mr. LITTLETON, after pointing out the great ex-
pense to which parties were put in carrying 'Turnpike
Bills through the House, moved the following Resolu-
tion : "That all Bills and other matters containing' Pe-
titions for the repeal or renewal of any Act or Acts of
Parliament relative to Turnpike Roads, be exempted
from all fees and Parliamentary charges altogether."
Mr. HUME
, thought that the fees demanded by both
Houses of Parliament on proceedings which came be.
fore them ought to undergo revision. He was. how-
ever, of opinion that, owing to the notorious misma-
nagement of turnpike trusts throughout ilt country,
the relieving them of any charges to which they were
now liable, would only be giving to the clerks of those
trusts additional means to those which they already pos-
sessed to squander the public money. He concluded
by recommending his Hon. Friend to postpone the con-
sideration of his resolution to the next Session, at which
time the -whole system If Parliamentary fees might be
submitted to a complete investigation.
Mr. CANNING did not think it right that all at once
the expenses of passing Turnpike Bills through the House
should be shifted from the shoulders of private indivi-
duals to those of the public. He was not inclined to
oppose the intro .'uction of this resolution; but be wished
not to be understood as pledging himself to agree to it.
He suggested the adjournment of he debate.
After a desultory conversation on the subject, in which Sir J.
elm, Sir C. Cots, Mr. Baum, and My. Marotta, joined,
Mr. LITTLETON agreed to postpone the fusilier consideration
of his resolution to Friday the MY instant.

ROUEN, MARCH 27.

. A most frightful and fatal accident took place in inus
town yesterday evening :—Some masons and their la-
bourers were at work at a new house at the corner
of the Rue de la Comedic, when, at about four o'clock
in the afternoon, one of the walls gave way, and
three or four of the workmen were buried in the
ruins, Several persons ran immediately to their anist-
ance,among whom *ere some non-commissionedofficers
and soldiers of the Royal Guard,and began to clear away
the ruins. It was observed that another wall remained
in a threatening position, and it was suggested that it
should be pulled down. This advice, however, was not
adopted, and, at about half-past seven, the remaining
walls and timbers of a house four stories high fell in with
a tremendous crash, and buried a still greater number
of unfortunate victims. Several were taken out dead,
and among others, a serjeant and corporal of the Guard.
Eighteen have been already carried to the hospital. It is
supposed that the number of wounded amount to thirty.
The adjoining twine is occupied by a restaurateur.—
Several persons had just left the dining-room, when the
ruins of the falling house bunt into it. The number of
persons wifo have perished cannot be yet completely
ascertained. It is said that groans were heard under the
ruins in the course of the night.
MARCH 28.—The whole of yesterday was employed
in pulling down the walls, which were still thought to
place the workmen in danger. The number of sufferers
must remain uncertain until the whole of the rubbish has
been cleared away.

Mt. BROUGHAM said, he ruse for the purpose of calling the
attention of his Right Hon. Friend, the President of the Board of
Controul (Mr. Wynn) to a most important subject. What he al-
luded to was a judgment recently reversed„which involved property
to the amount of no less than 90,0001. a year. It the law really
was as It had been decided in this case, and if the bast India
Company persisted in ntrintaining the rights upon which this
most wonderful decree was founded, he trusted some remedy
could be speedily applitd. The decree proceeded upon tire
principle that the Company had a right to take possession of
landed property in any part of the territories of India that
might have formerly belonged to a native Prince, and subsequently
fallen under their sovereignty, and that, when so taken possession
of, no relief coats, be afforded, except by Parliament. This decree
was made without ■ moment's deliberation.

PATENT LAW&

Yesterday, a numerous Meeting of persons interested
in the subject of Patent., was held at the Mechanics'
Institute. After some time had elapsed beyond the
hour originally named for the Wining, Major SIGAW
was called to the Chair, and an apology made for the
absence of the Marquis of Cit..tualcaaria, who it wise
expected would have presided.
Dr. BIRKISCCIC moved the first Resolution, declare.
tory of the opinion entertained by the Meeting, that the
present mode of granting letters patent for mechanical
inventions, or chemical discovei ier, was ineffectual and
oppressive. Of the necessity for some changes in this
respect, no one could entertain a doubt, she examined
the subject with any degree of attention. The fact,
however, was, that there sere at Omni no laws affect.
ing the subject at all. The granting of patents depended
entirely on the mere dictum of the Attorney and S3li.
citor General. for the time being—(Hear).
Mr. FLANAGAN seconded the motion, whieh passed
unanimously.
Mr. RITNII, a Brrrister and Patentee, moved the
next resolution, for the adoption of a petition to the
Legislature, praying the appointment of a Committee,
to Inquire into the bearings, operation, and vexations,
attending the present system of the Patent Laws.
The re,iilution ss as then put and carried unanimously.
The petition was 'then read, which merely embodied
the opiniqns of the meeting on the sulect under con-
sideration, and contained a prayer for the Committee
of Inquiry.
