• Favouritism in the highest porter is often attended with
peat expence to the country. The money expended in the
equipment and outfit of the gun-brig which escorted a
osbicund Knight to the shores of the Mediterranean, might
lave been applied to a more benevolent and charitable pu-
pate, especially at this season of the year, when so many
door own countrymen and others who have fled to us for
yoteetion are in absolute want.
The Commerce between Great Britain and the South
American States has rapidly increased since 1817. In the
year ending Jannary 5, 1817, the value of British goods
etpored to Buenos Ayres was 388,4871.; in the yiar ending
Jan. a, 1823, their value was 1,164,7651. The valise of ex-
ports at Valparaiso in the year ending Jan. 5. ISIS, was
arnt, while in the year ending Jan. 5, 1823, their
amount was 182,848/.
Is March 1821, the smack Princess of Wakt. which
Weeded from London for Prince Edward's Wend, in the
ladian sea, fur the purpose of catching seals, struck on
the rocks on the Island of Croutte. on which the Captain.
end the men, (7 in number) then on board, sought refuge.
In the north of December following, they were joined by
14 their shipmates. who, previous to the shipwreck, had
left the smack in a hoes with the intent to fish close to an
other island on which they were obliged to go ashore, and in
emsmeence of which they thought they had lost their com-
panions. The privations and hardships both psrtjes under-
went, both before and after their junction, were extreme,
till the Philo,of Boston. having touched on the island,
shoat five months after, took them off, and carried them
to. the Isle of France. Two of them, named Veal. and
Tetherbridge, cause home iri the Lord R.ranotah, Captain
Evens'. These poor men are quite destitute, sod remain

A few days ago the two sailors were •broeglit before the

WINDSOR, Nov: 21—On Friday evening about eight
o'clock the King arrived at the Castle from Loudon.—.
Saturday being a remarkably fine day, his Majesty took an
airing on horseback in Windsor (heat Park. The state!,
of his late Majesty is erecting at the tap of the Long-walk,
Windsor-castle. -
Friday the Duke of York visited the King at his Palace
In Pall-mall.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the Duke of Saxe.
Weimar left town to proceed on his Serene Highness's
return to the Continent.

Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council M3B held at
the Foreign Oth-e, Downing Street, which was attended
be all the Cabinet Ministers, who sat In deliberation till past
four o'clock.

Mr. Irving yesterday preached his first sermon since his re-
turn from Scotland : the concourse at the Calenonian Chapel
was very great. The text was taken from the Ist Epistle to
the Thessalonians, chap. iii. from the Elth verse to the end.
"F. r now we live, if ye stand fast In the Lord. For whet
thanks can we render to God again for you ; for all the joy
wherewith we joyed for your sakes before our God; night and
day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and
might p•-fect that which was lacking in your faith I" &c. &c.
The sermon was is great part applicable to Mr. Irving's re-
cent absence, during which lie said he had not been sanmi..dfu I
of the flock that lie had left behind, but on the contrary had oc-
cupied himself amidst the scenes of his youth in preparing a
series of discourses, to which the present was introductory, on
their Christian duties, particularly that of Divine Worship.—
lie exhorted them to spiritual union, and strongly reprobated
the conduct both of those strangers who came from mere Mo-
tives of enrinsity, sad of those members of the congrega-
tion who brought persons for the gratilleation of such motives.
,The Rev. Gentleman appeared In extremely good health, and
preached with his usual energy of voice and •anner. Several
passages of his sermon were splendid and eloquent in a very.
thigh degree.

A correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury states, that a
memorial was recentl sent to the board of customs, pray-
ing that, for the benefit of the parties concerned, a queasily!
of grain, amounting to 8 or 10,000 quarters, saved from the
destructive fire of Meagre. Booth & Co's warehouse, Liver-
pool, might, under the peculiar and distressing circum-
stances of the base, be permitted to be sold. The grain
it appears, possesses no other value than for the purpose of
feeding cattle and poultry; but, if sold immediately, it
would produce many thousand pounds. After much delay,
the memorialists were informed that the request could not
be complied with : but the board would permit the corn to
he effectually destroyed, in the presence of the preper A-
ttars, without expense to the crown. !!"

RITAIL Batweas.-Some persons having expressed doubts
as to the meaning of 32,1 Geo. 111. Mr. C. F. Palmer, the
member for Beading, proposed the following question to
Mr. Hendee, the Secretary to the Treasury: —" Can a person
hold an excise licence, as a victoallinc or retail brewer, and
ander sorb licence sell beer by retail in any imall quan4iea
from his prevail's, provided the same be not consumed on
his premises, without being licensed as as *publics!) by the
magistrates?" Mr. Berries referred to the Board of Excise,
acid enclosed to Air. C. F. Palmer the following official
answer from Mr. Carr, the solicitor to that honourable
,ioard:—" A licensed brewer who disclaims the allowance
made to common brewers, and pays the fall duty as a retail
brewer, may legally sell beer in retail to be consumed
elsewhere than on his premises, without bienniag any
penalty."

The hopping cough being understood to be prevakot at
present in Sunderland, we beg to recommend the remedy
lately adopted with success by some eminent American
physicieds, in particular a Dr. Archer, well known

Inoculation. Dr. A. tatted it to be a perfect care for the

it did not entirely take away the cones all danger and

DIItiTRCSSINe OCCURRUNCI.—On Monday evening last,
a man named William Dempster, a juggler of inferior
dexterity, while exhibiting his tricks in a public house in
ttutehergate, kept by a person named Purdy, actually cc.
complished the sail reality of one of those feats, with the
semblance only of which he intended to amuse his au-
dience. Haying introduced into his throat a common
table knife which be was pretending to swallow, he
accidentally alipt his bold, and the knife passed into the
stomach. An alarm was immediately given, and surgical
aid procured, but the knife had passed beyond the reach
of instruments, and now remains in his stomach. He
has since been attended by most of the medical (ten-
tlemen of this City; and we understand that no very
alarming symptoms have yet appeared, and that it is
possible be may exist a considerable time, even in this
awkward state. His sufferings at first were very severe,
but be is now,
.when not in motion, comparatively easy.
The knife i. 91 incheslong, one inch broad in the blade)
round pointed, and the handle of bone, and may gene.
rally be distinctly felt by applying the finger to- the un-
fortunate man's belly; but occasionally, however, from
change of its situation it is not perceptible. A brief
notice of the analogous case of John Cumming, the Amr
%lean Sailor, may not be unacceptable to one readers.—
About the year 1799 he, in imitation of some jugglers
whose oxhibition he had then witnessed, in an hoer of
intoxication, swallowed four clasp knives, such as sailors
commonly use: all of which palmed from him in a few days
without much inconvenience. Six years afterwards, he
swallowed forrtems knives of different sizes; by them.how-
ever. hemas much disordered, hut recovered; and again In a
paroxysm of intoxication actually swallowed seventeen, of
the elfecte of which he died in March 1809. On dissection,
ti!knife blades were found remaining in the stomach • and
the back spring of one penetrating through the bowels,
seemed the immediate cause of his death.—(Cadiale
Journal.)
CLosratru. Nov. 19.—Two soldiers of the Royal Re. 4i
meat, tried here same ehort time back by a General Cuurt
Martial, for outrageous conduct, and for firing in the
streets of Cappoquin, have been set at liberty. They had
been found guilty by the General Court Martial on the first
charge, but acquitted of the firing, and were sentenced,
the one to three months, and the other to two months
solitary confinement:—but the Commander in Chief, Lord
Comberniere, taking into consideration their long confine.
tient undi.r, these charges, and that they bad acted under
a belief that the crowd was intent to disarm them, ordered
their liberation, and they were liberated accordingly on
Saturday last.—(Clonmel Advertiser.)
