An optician in London has invented a machine which, he
says, will infallibly shew the distance traversed by hackney
coaches, cabs, &c. If this be so, the extortion of the cab-
men, (which in London amounts on a fair calculation to 50
per cent.) will be put an end to.

Accounts from Havannah to the 16th of June, received
via New York, mention that by advices from Mexico re-
ceived there the people were extremely dissatisfied at the
high duties which were levied on the importation of merchan-
dise, amounting on cottons to 240 per cent. and on woollens
to 108 per cent. on the coast price in Europe. The merchants
also complain that this excessive impost ruins the fair trader
by the encouragement of smuggling, and in a petition from
Vera Cruz ou the subject, with 125 signatures, state
that no less than six ships have been loaded in Eng-
lish ports for the Pacific coast of Mexico, whose car-
goes it was expected would be introduced without paying a
single dollar of duty. All classes, the poorer especially,
agree that the duty now payable on articles actually necessary
is three or four times more than on goods consumed by the
more wealthy, and that from this cause the government re-
venues from the contraband trade are scarcely halt' so large
as they were when the tariff was only one-third as high as
it was formerly, or would be if it were reduced. Several pe-
titions to the same purport had been addressed to Santa
Anna.

" The fact, (to use his own words,) is, that the hideous
cruelties of the present Emperor of Russia, perpetrated in
Poland even upon women and children, have marken his cha-
racter with a deeper shade of infamy than that which stains
the reputution of the Roman Nero, whilst his satanic perse-
cution of catholic Christianity has reduced him beneath the
level of the ancient Dioclesian.

" Mr. O'Connell, therefore, cannot consent, by any act of
his, however slight, to appear to pay a compliment to so atro-
cious a monster.

GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY.—RETURN OF ALL THE
BRITISH SHIPS.—The whole of the British ships have now
arrived at Peterhead from the Greenland whale fishery.
Five of them came into Peterhead harbour on the afternoon

and evening of Saturday last, and one of them on Sunday,
all having left the fishery about the 15th ult. We now sub-
join a statement of the total quantity of oil, in imperial
tuns, with the number of whales and seals brought by each
vessel:

Taylor and Sons, Liverpool.
The three first numbers of this amusing, laughable, satiri-
cal, and wickedly-witty publication have been received. It
is a 'capit4l work, of a true conservative feeling, and abounds
with some smart hits at the present government. Every
page teems with fun and merriment, both literary and gra-
phic. We-can recognise productions from many well-known
pens. So much laughter for three-pence (the price of each
nmnber) we never yet met with. The illustrations are

History

of Scot

id. By PATRICK FRAZER TYLER, Esq
dinburgh : William Tait.

The second volume of this excellent work is now before
the public, and the events which it records, from the year
329 to 1373, subsequent to the death of the gallant Bruce,
lcrease in stirring interest with the advance of civilisation and
It in North Britain. The author is evidently im-
i the spirit of his subject, and displays great energy

of research, a peculiar aptitude in the appropriation of pro-
minent facts, and a felicity and nerve of language that enti-
tle him to the enduring fame of the historian—a higher meed
than we can award to the mass of modern authors, who, in
this age of book-making, are, for the most part, mere pirati-
cal compilers. The reign of David II (only son of " the

Bruce") is replete with important and deeply-interesting
incidents, the details of which occupy about half of the
volume. As a specimen of our author's admirable style, we
submit the following faithful portraiture of the character of
that monarch, whose conduct through life was so unworthily
and darkly contrasted with that of his heroic father :

It is painful to dwell on the character of this prince ; who
as, in every respect, unworthy of his illustrious father. It
iappened, indeed, unfortunately for him, that he was pro-
moted to the throne when almost an infant ; and not only
lost the advantage of paternal instruction and example, but,
by the early death of Douglas and Randolph, was deprived
if the only persons who might have supplied that want ; whilst
is long exile in France, and a captivity of eleven years, ren-
Ted him almost a stranger to his people. Had there, 'how-
)een anything great or excellent in David Bruce, he
have surmounted these disadvantages : yet we look in
,in for a noble, or even commendable quality ; whilst the
darker parts of his disposition are prominently marked. He

All the masters concur in stating, that an abundance of
whales, mostly all young ones, was seen during the season,
and that the weather continued most favourable ; but they
were prevented from making a more successful fishing in
consequence of the condition and situation of the ice.
A YOUTHFUL JACK SHEPHERD.—Yesterday morning a
lad, named Thomas Pearce, l 3 years of age, made good his
escape from one of the cells of the Fleet-street police station,
under the following circumstances :—lt appears that great
complaints had latey been made by some of the shopkeepers
and neighbours of Bride-lane, Fleet-street, in consequence
of the annoyance they had experienced from the above de-
linquent, who, among others of the tricks which he had ex-
ercised upon them, watched his opportunity, and when " the
course was clear" would suddenly rush into a shop and cap-
size everything that was upon the counter, and in some in-
stances strew upon the floor butter, red-herrings, bricks,
bread, cheese, &c., to the manifest discomfiture of the owner
thereof ; and he had hitherto succeeded in effecting his es-
cape. Yesterday, however, police constable Buckingham,
No. 315, who had been on the watch for him, was fortunate
enough to capture him, just as he had been amusing himself
by breaking some of the windows of the National School in
the above lane, and conveyed him to the station-house, where
he was placed in the inner cell (which was supposed to be
the most secure,) preparatory to his being taken before a
magistrate. The station clerk, however, according to cus-
tom, visited the cell about an hour afterwards for the purpose
of seeing that " all was right," when, to his astonishment and
dismay, he discovered that the " bird had flown," and on ex-
amination of the cell it was ascertained that he had managed
to sqeeze his body through the bars which were over the cell-
door, and then, quietly dropping himself from them into the
passage, gained the court in which the station-house is situ-
ate, and so passed unobserved into the street. It appears
that a chimneysweeper a short time since managed to creep
out of the same cell in a similar manner. He, however, was
not quite so fortunate, as he was caught just as he was about
to pass the. threshold of the door of the station-house.—
London Paper,
DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO THIRSK CHURCH.
—On Wednesday morning week, the clerk proceeded to the
church, to ring the six-o'clock bell ; after unlocking the door,
he found he could not gain admittance, it being bolted in-
side ; and, as he was last in the church the previous evening,
and locked the door himself, he immediately suspected that
some person had, during the night, broken into and robbed
it ; he then proceeded to examine the windows, but all was
secure. On passing the back door, he thought he would try
that, and it gave way on his pushing against it. He then
proceeded round the church, and found every thing safe, but
a strong smell of burned wood prevailed all about ; he looked
into the stoves, and in various places, but could find nothing
to satisfy him. After ringing the bell, he returned home ;
but, previous to the commencement of morning prayers, he
returned again, determined to make a more rigid search ;
and, examining under the stairs leading to the seat of J.
Bell, Esq., M.P., he discovered that two separate fires had
been kindled, one of them under the first stair or step, the
second about two feet higher, by placing a large pan from
one of the stoves upon some flags ; but, fortunately, the
kindling not being sufficiently powerful to set fire to the
beams under which they were placed, had only partially
burned them, and then expired. The incendiary, in order
to kindle the fire, had broken up the beadle's wand, and a
rake, which he had got from the belfry, mats, &c., portions
of which are left unconsumed ; and, in order to increase the
lire, he had brought a bench from the altar table, and placed
it upon the stairs. Had the diabolical plan succeeded, the
fire would immediately have communicated to the organ
gallery, and no doubt the whole of this fine ancient fabric
would have been consumed, as there would have been no
means of arresting the flames ; for there is no fire engine in
the place.

ADMIRAL STOPFORD.—The dinner to Sir Robert Stopford,
at Portsmouth, will take place at five o'clock on Thursday
next, at the Society's-hall, when it is expected many noble-
men and gentlemen will be present. Among whom there will
be the Marquis of Anglesey, Earls Hardwicke and Sandwich,
Viscount Sydney, the members of the county and borough,
the heads of various naval, military, and civil departments,
Commodore Sir C. Napier, the captains of all the ships who
commanded at Acre, &c. Nearly the whole of the tickets
are disposed of, and the arrangements will be on a magnificent
scale.

THE LATEST GOVERNMENT JOB.-.Alderman J. S.
Fleming has resigned his appointment as Chief Magistrate
of Police, Dublin, to which he has been only a few months
promoted, receiving the full retiring pension, in order to
create a berth for a partisan of the outgoing Government ;
and, accordingly, Mr. Newel Barron, a relative of the re-
jected of Waterford city, is pitchforked into the vacancy thus
effected in the magisterial bench. Alderman Fleming was a
most efficient and active magistrate, and in every way com-
petent to the discharge of his official duties. Mr. Hitchcock
has also been induced to send in his resignation, on the pro-
mise of receiving the full pension; and thus a second vacancy
on the bench is left at the disposal of Government, for the
acceptance of some hungry retainer grown sick with " hope
deferred."

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—At the Chichester
county bench, on the 10th instant, Mr. Green, superintend-
ent of police, brought up in custody two
,respectableo-looking :
gaiety, we are become at variance with men, who had surrendered themselves to him on the previous
evening, under the following circumstances. Their state-
ito
'Dent to Mr. Green was to this effect :
ol i ource, w i friends,tiia,ew and,o ur
con-
sequently,
are thrown on our own resources, and having no
city,h
and we come now vo-
luntarily we can obtain no situations; and being reduced
to a state of starvation, we, about one o'clock this morning,
tthois thep
killed
to
l ain
giveb
obtaining transportation for the offence." Mr. Green stated
that he went to the field pointed out by the prisoners, and
there found a lamb, the property of Mr. White, killed. The
in
ourselvesa field near
u p
names the prisoners gave were Henry Parker and Richard
Johnson : their statement, they said, was perfectly correct,
with the exception of their names, which were fictitious.
The magistrates, after consulting together, determined on
remanding them till the following Saturday ; upon which
Parker earnestly and respectfully implored the bench to
commit them at once for the offence, " for," said he, ~ if we
are set at liberty, we shall be compelled to commit some
other offence to insure our being sent out of the country.”
On Saturday last, the prisoners were again brought up, when
the evidence was gone fully into, and they were committed
to Lewes to take their trial at the next assizes.

THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.-Mr. O'Connell, calculating
on the probability of Sir Robert Peel taking active measures
towards suppressing that intolerable nuisance the repeal asso-
ciation, thus delivers himself, through the fostering agency
of Mr. Richard Barrett, editor of the Pilot newspaper :
" The suppression of the only vent for wants and grievances
would be met by expedients which the law could not reach.
The law could not reach those who did not choose to consume
English manufactures. The law could not prevent an instant
run on the savings' bank. The law could not reach them for
demanding gold. The law could not reach their dislike for
entering the army or navy, or their determination not to shed
their blood for a nation which refused right and crushed dis-
cussion. There would be no occasion to invite foreign aid in
such a state of things. The act which would extinguish the
repeal association would, in itself, be a proclamation to all
the hostile nations of the earth." The poor old gentleman
is really demented.

We continue to experience ery great dullness in our Butter
trade, and stocks are fast accumulating ; the finest kinds are fully
3s per cwt. cheaper, and brands of doubtful respectability are en-
tirely unsaleable. Provisions of the best quality fairly maintains
late quotations, and Bacon is in good demand.
