GREAT TOII OF LINCOLN.—This bell, recently re-cast by Mr.
Mears, of London, weighing nearly five tons and a half, is
struck upon by a hammer manufactured from au old anvil, which
weighs 1 cwt.
Sat.r OF COA f.s.—The ninth clause of the act of thelast ses-
sion of parliament, for the regulation of weights and measures,
reivires that from and after the first of January, 1836, all coals
shall be sold by weight, and imposes penalties for any other
niode of sale.

MONUMENTAL TRUTH.—In a village church-yard, a few
miles from London, there is a superb monument, which, after
narrating the name, merits, and death of the " poor inhabit-
ants below," rather oddly adds the armorial motto, which is
"',dens rolens"—will he, nill he.
The Stuarts were a wrong-headed race or had to rule a
vicious race. James I. was assassinated; James 11. was killed
by accident; James HI. was murdered ; James IV. was
killed at Flodden ; James V. died of grief; Henry, Lord
Darnley, was murdered; his wife, Queen Mary, was' beheaded
by Elizabeth ; Charles I. was beheaded; James 11. died in
exile; the Duke of Monmouth was beheaded.
DEATH OF SIR ROBERT DUNDAs.—We regret to announce
the death of Sir Robert Dundas, Bart., of Beechwood, who ex-
pired on Monday last at his house in Heriot Row. Sir Robert's
Illness must have been short, as he was out on Saturday; he
was in the 75th year of his age, and very generally esteemed
for the benevolence of his heart and excellence of his character.
STRONG SYIIPTomS OF WAR.—A decisive proof has been
afforded that the people of the United States really anticipate a
war, in the fact that a London house has exported within the
last month no leas than 100,000 umbrellas to New York. To
those who recollect Matthews' inimitable description of an
American militia muster-roll, the necessity for the pluvious
protector of Britiattscrinces wilt be apparent. The cautious trans-
atlantic patriots never take the field inspired by Mars, without
taking at the same time an antidote to the influence of Aquaris.
—Aye.
Comeotir FOR TIIR DrING ONES.—The Morning Chronicle
of Friday had the following ;—" The dinner given by his Ma-
jesty to his Ministers at the Pavilion on Monday, after the
Council, was remarkable for more than usual kindness and
urbanity exhibited by the King to his servants, without a single
exception. This statement is made on no slight authority, as
an answer to tory misrepresentation." And what is its value ?
The King pities- his Ministers, and is therefore kind to them,
knowing that their " hour is well-nigh come." They are now
past both anger and resentment—everybody is sorry for them—
poor creatures
TEE COMET A MASS OF Ica.—A German author, Herr F.
Von Brandenhurgh, who has already written a good deal, ac-
cording to the German paper from which we derive our informa-
tion, concerning the moon and the stars, has lately informed all
Germany, through the Leipsiger Tagehlatt, that the cornet is a
mass of ice, that it is very near the earth, that it will remain
near it for a considerable time, and will not be visible. He fur-
ther informs the public that the brilliant lights visible in the
north are caused by the frozen exhalations which fall from the
comet, and are illuminated by the sun beneath the horizon.
Moreover, he announces that the moon also is of ice, and will
appear of a gold yellow colour. This icy gentleman has made
some further discovery of what might have prevented the cholera,
had hii remedies and its coming been known in time.
ELoutmENT, CHASE, AND CAPTURE OF THE FAIR FUGI-
Tivß.—The neighbouring town of Morpeth was a few days since
thrown into a state of great excitement, in consequence of the
sudden, and at first somewhat mysterious, disappearance of a ,
young lady from her home, who was afterwards discovered to I
have eloped 'with her lover, a sprightly young gallant, who had
run off with her, in order that they might be summarily united

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 9. —Great rejoicings are taking
place here in consequence of the birth of a Turkish Prince.
Guns are fired, at night the men of war are illuminated, tire-
works are discharged, the coffee-houses are opened, and ail is
alle,yria. The following is a plain translation of the circular
note by which the Reis Effendi has made known the event to
foreign courts
" By Divine Grace a Shahzade (King's son), endowed with
new fortune, resplendent as the suu, sprung from the pure,
productive, and imperial loins of my majestic, royal, powerful,
and august master, the Fadishah, who is the model of majesty
and power, seated on the throne of the Khalifet, which scatters
magnificence, on Sunday, the 16th day of the present month of
Shahan, at 45 minutes past four o'clock, commenced the
existence of infancy. He has felicitously
j been named Niza-
meddin (regulator of the faith). This joyful event having
been communicated to the various pillars of the state, his
Highness has expressed his august wish that it should be made
known, on his behalf, to the friendly Embassies, conceiving
that, whatever causes joy in the Imperial Family, will bean
occasion of pleasure to the heads of the respective friendly go-
vernments, and it is in order to consolidate the existing ami-
cable relations with you that the present loving note has been
addressed you."

The rejoicings continue for seven days, and, consequently,
will not terminate until the 25 instant.

LONDON LAW AND POLICE COURTS.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-MONDAY.
BARON DE. BODE'S CASE.
.... __

William Henry Charles Othon Baron de Bode, known by
the name of Baron de Bode, and sued as Henry de Bode, came
up this morning frointlie King's Bench Prison to be heard on
the matter of his petition and schedule, to be discharged. • His
application, which was unopposed by his creditors, was sup-
ported by Mr. Cooke.
The Baron, in answer to' the interrogatories of the Learned
Chief Commissioner, stated that he was a major-general in the
Russian service. His debts, in the aggregate, amounted to
£30,742 lls. 2d, of which sum he had received no considera-
tion for £15,162 18s. 4,1. There were liabilities in his schedule
more than once entered, amounting to £13,486 Ils. Bd.; there-
by reducing the debts fur which he had received consideration,
to the sum of £2,091. He had no Credits, and ascribk his in-
solvency to the accepting of bills for the accommodation of his
brother. '
_ _

Mr. Cooke said the,:Baron had accepted the bills mentioned
in the schedule to assilit his brother, Baron Clement de Bode,
in prosecuting his claim on the English government to an enor-
mous amount.

The Learned Chief Commissioner inquired of the Baroti
whether he was the claimant?

The Baron replied in the negative. The money was due to
Baron Clement, who was his elder brother- The Baron, in re-
ply to further questions, said he came over to this country in
the year 1831. to assist his brother in his claim. He had re-
ceived no pay from Russia since that period; as, by the regu-
lations of the military of the country, no officer was allowed
pay after an absence of twenty-eight days, until his return to
his reginient. _

Mr. Cooke said the Baron was still a major-general in the
service. He also had, when he obtained leave of absence, the
command of the arsenal at Warsaw.
The Baron, on his examination, was questioned respecting
some of his debts. He had incurred a debt of £l7 with Messrs.
Catchpole, jewellers, of Regent-street. He said his wife was
resident in this country, but his children were abroad.
The Chief Commissioner said the creditors had not appeared.
He supposed they were satisfied.
The Baron answered that many of them had visited him in
prison, and regretted his incarceration.
Mr. Cooke observed they all knew the nature of his brother's
claim, which had been before the House of Conamons'for some
time. It was right that the court should be informed that, al-
though there appeared a mass of debts on the schedule arising
on bill transactions accepted for the Baron Clement, a com-
paratively small sum had been raised. There could be uo doubt
that ultimately the claims on the government would be allowed
and then all the debts would be paid, besides leaving a hand-
some surplus for the Baron and his brother.
It was stated that the claim of the Baron Clement on the go-
vernment amounted to £830,000.
The Learned Commissioner said there was no doubt that the
schedule contained a multitude of debts which did not belong
to the insolvent, and which would be paid, but if a return was
moved for it would be blazoned forth that the schedule was swel-
led out with debts, and no' notice be taken of their nature, or
the probability of payment. There did not appear any thing
in the case to animadvert upon, and he, therefore, declared the
Baron entitled to the benefit of the act, and ordered him to be
discharged forthwith.

WESTNINSTER QUARTER SESSIONS-MONDAY.

APPEAL.

Thomas Smith appealed
against a conviction of Thomas
Hall, Esq., and Peter Mallard, Esc!:
The appellant is the landlord of the Queen's Head public-
house, Duke's-court, opposite Covent Garden Theatre. The
respondents are the Magistrates of Bow-street Police-office.
The information was laid by Inspector John Mason, of the
police, and charged the appellant, a licensed victualler, with
keeping his house open to a later hour than allowed by law—
to wit, until two o'clock in the morning of the 29th of Novem-
ber, and that he allowed disorderly persons therein, who caused
great noise and disorder. The information being proved at the
Police-office, the Justices fined Smith £5 and costs. Hence the
present appeal.
The witness Mason swore to the truth of his original in-
forindtion.

Mr. Adolphus, for the appellant, cross-examined Mason, but
he adhered to his former testimony.
Mr. Adolphus—Who were there ?
Witness—Ladies andgentleinen.
What did they do ?—Talked very loud about politics.
Why so do the " Gentlemen" in the House of Commons.
And it was two o'clock, eh?—Yes, sir.
But you don't interfere with the law-makers ?—No, only with
the taw-breakers.

Di:l they, in their political discussions, call each other
"liars," and whoop, howl, cock-cry, &c. ?—Yes, sir.
Why then I have not
.yet heard a closer description of the
House of Commons in session time.

The learned counsel argued at length against the justice of
the conviction, and contended it ought to be quashed.
After a consultation on the bench, the court confirmed the
conviction by a small majority.
