A PERSON having been much boi'vd by a Teetotaler its to
the virtues of water, to cut short the subject said, he too

deal for—navigation."
ROYAL Coax Tecur CLun.—At a general meeting of
the members, hd on Tuesday, -Sampson T. W. Pfrench,
Esq., chairman, it was resolved that there en.l.l•be no

by the death,--firhich is daily expected, of the Archbishop
of Braga (Portugal), Cardinat•-of Pigaredo.
A CHARITASLE Wan.—lrne antipathy of tie Scotch
people to sermons that are read is well known. At' Kirk-
cudbright, at-an " inauguration," and old woman on the
pulpit stair aced one of her companions if thenew minister

EMBEZZLIBEiNT BY I CLERY.—Aneatsasive embezzle-
ment has been committed by a confidential clerk named
John ilPencon, aged 19, in the employment of Messrs.
Thomas Gabriel, and sou, timber merchants, Commercial-
road, Lambeth, who has absconded, taking with him
Bank of England notes to the amount Of £6OO and up-
wards. l large reward is offered for his-apprehension.
SFNGITLAII OCCIIRRENCE.—The.Leeds Mercury states
that three pigeons' lately perched on the minute-hand of
one of the faces of-St.. George's clock, .and remained seven
minutes. The weight prevented the hands revolving, and
stopped for the like time that portion of the works which
is connected with the striking of the hour, although the
pendulum continued itewibrations. As soon as the pigeons
flew Off,-the hands resumed their motion, and the clock
began to strike again, but of course the time was about
seven minutes later than the proper hour.
A LADY once consulted Dr. Johnson on the degree of
turpitude to be attached to her . son's robbing an orchard.
" Madalre," said Johnson, " it all depends' upon the weight
of the boy. remember my school•Tellow Davy Garrack,
—who was always a tlittle fellow,--robbing a dozen. of
orchards with impunity.; but the very. ifirst time I climbed
up an apple tree, for I was always a heavy3my, the bough
broke with me, and it was called a judgment. I suppose
that is why justice is represented with a pair of scales."
Tas Manw.o...y.—Erhe Royal mail. steam-ship Medway,
Captain E. Baynton, arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday
morning from the Black .Sea. She left Varna on the 19th,
Constantinople on the 24th ult., and Gibraltar on the 3d
instant, bringing,Goverument despatches, but no mails.
The Prometheus 6, steam, sloop, Commander Rice, was on
the point of leaving Gibraltar for the Riffeeast, to chastise
the pirates in the Cuthbert Young outrage. The steam
transport Teaming tleft . Gibraltar on the 3d. instant, at 4
p.m., for Malta. The Medway passed on the 26th ultimo
the transports Nos.-91, -70, 82, and 97 off Cape Angelo.
A PUBLIC DEPA.U,LIBB.—There has been presented to
the House of Commons the-report of a Treasury(eommittee
of inquiry into the misappropriation of moneys intrusted
to Mr. H. Swabey, late 'Registrar of the Court of Admi-
ralty. He disappeared last November, and the report .states that the deficiency intis accounts exceeds ,e 60,000.
Be had given no sureties, rendered no accounts, and was
