Jamaica papers to the 13th ult. arrived yesterday at the
Jamaica Coffee-house, which bring the issitsfactory intelli-
gence of the restoration of the island to tranquillity. The
late insurrection appears to have bees wholly eonfined to
' the parish of St Mary; for though &no meetings of the
Negroes took place in other districts, they led to no result,
and the Negroes are represented generallg as sensible of
the delusion under which the insurgents acted, and fully
disposed to order and snbmission.
Letters from Rio de Janeiro, to the 17th December, were
nie-ived on Saturday by way of iiiternsey, but they are en-
tirely destitute of political information. There was an arri-
val on Saturday, also, from Prrnatnbuco, of the date of
the 27th of December, which represents the state of that
province. respecting the adherence of which to the capital
much doubt had been expressed, as remaining perfectly
tranquil, though some of the merchants declare their ap-
prehensions that a separation and an independent Govern-
ment will take place there, unless the future conduct of the
Emperor shall be regulated by better principles.
By • Flanders mail received on Saturday we have accounts
from Stockholm and St. Petersburg. By them' accounts we
are informed that the weather in the northern parts of the cow
fluent has been as mild all this winter, as with us. Atiolittetk-
holm, it is said, the winter has been a mixture of autumn and
spring ; they have had neither frost nor snow; and whet Is a
rarity there In winter, fresh vegetables are cried about the
streets. From St. Petersburg we learn that the silver ruble is
henceforward to be received at the Custom Houses, after the
rate of S rubles, 60 copecks, in paper. What must be the
situation of a country where its paper currency Is so depre-
ciated in value.
Mr. Wiogfield has been appointed to one of the vacant
Mastership's in Chancery.
We are assured that it is the inteation of Mr. John Pane,
to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of this
county, in the room of his late father, as soon as decorum
will permit him to make his intentions publicly known
Mr. Dashwood, of Kirtlington Park, has announced him-
self a candidate.—(Oxford Paper.)

Pon !amours, tileturday.—The slaves which were released
hotly from the hands of the Tunisians, by the British squadron,
under Captain Hamilton, of the Cambrian, were cane
Greeks, who had chartered a vessel, under British colours,
front Malta, fir a passage to one of the Greek islands, and
instead of making such a voyage, the Maltese captain, who
commanded the vessel, shaped his course for Tunis, where
he sold the vessel's stores, cargo, and passengers, and ran
away with the proceeds.
When the Medina left Tunis, on the 3d ult. the Genoese
Fleet was going into the Bay, to demand satisfaction for
two Genoese subjects who had been killed by the Tuni-
sians.
The Q bury packet arrived on Friday morning at

A gentleman of this neighbourhood. who has two sons
at school at Caen, in Normandy, has recently been advised.
that, by a llovernasent Older, all children. without re-
ference to nation or litigious opinions, educated at the
French Schools, must attend the celebration of Mass—in
other word., he initiated into the principles and practices
of the Catholic creed.
The Committee fur building the national Scotch Church
have announced that they are about to lay the foundation
of it in Sidinouth-street. Fonn•lling Hospital. They had
previously, we heard, contemplated a scite for it in Hol-
born. occupied at present by the old buildings, which
constitute Little and New Turnstiles, &c. Had this plan
been adopted, it would have of oded them the advantages
of a mere centrical situation, & have furnished the public
in general with a much wanted wide access from Holborn
into Lincoln's Inn Fields. The Committee scout, as might
have been early anticipated, the report of Mr. Irviag's in-
tention of leaving London.
The follooing is related respecting the late Sir Henry
Bate Dudley:—
" It is a curious circumstance, that the lady, about whom
the quarrel, and subsequent battles and duels of Sir Henry
(then known as Parson Bate) with Messrs. Miles and
tritsgerald. took place nearly fifty years since, was the
beautiful Mos. Hartley, the actress, who died on the same
day last week with Sir Henry."
A correspondent of the Fife Herald observes, that vast
numbers of Irish halfpence are brought over to this country
by the skippers of the coal vessels,* ho gain eight per cent.
by the importation. as the copper coin of Ireland is of less
value than ours by one twelfth. Fur the purpose of ascer-
taining the amount of Irish copper currency, he embraced
toe opportunity of attending to the weekly collection for
the poor. in a church in a remote part of the Presbytery of
Cupar. During twenty-two conseca.ive Sabb,ths, the sum
of 21. Bs. 41d. was collected in copper. and of this 12s. 31d.
was of luish money! From this, it appears that alsJut one-
fourth of the copper currency of Fife is of-lrish origin&
and there is reason to Where that a much greater propor-
tion prevails in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, Ayr, and
Dumfries.
It appears from the Goal Returns. just published, that.
during the last thirty years, more than 36,000 persons
'have been committed to prison, in Manchester. Of these.
12,636 have been tried for felony, and about one in ten
transported. On the other hand, the document above
alluded to chews that all the prisons of the Counties of
Bernick, Haddington, and Fife, (three maritime counties of
Scotland stretching from the Tweed to the Frith of Tay,)
contained at no time in 1820, more than 63 prisoners, that is
little more than the half of the persons imprisoned in one
English County, (Suffolk) for poaching alone.
The advocates of the Vagrant Act, seem now inclined
to attrihn'e all its faults to the Magistrates and watch-
men. This is very much like abusing the actors in a bad

Play.
Mr. Peter Peering Timms. printer to the Honourable
East India Company, at Macao, son of Mr. A. Thorns,
senior chairmaker of this city, bas procured and sent to
England a model of the monstrosity which has been ex-
hibiting in China for some years past, accompanied with
an explicit description of the same; and three superb
printed volumes in the Chinese Language.-1 a Treatise
on the Globes, with Maps of the different Provinces of
I on Divioity, and the 31 on Physic, enclosed in

RIESURAICTION MIN.—A short time ago a stranger Wl',
feasting his eyes with the grand prospect, from menial:
church-yard,of the south &west mountains; &occaeionally
indulging his sensibility in reading the "frail memorials'
of the dead; wlien his appearance attracted the attendee
of the villagers, and on a close inspection of his countenaaes
it was the general opinion that be looked like a resurrec-
tion man. This opinion was beginning to be acted op, the
mob increased every minute, when the stranger, astonished
and confounded, at last discovering the cause of the contu-
melies heaped upon him, made good his retreat from the
place of suspicion, without suffering bodily injury.—(Cere

A gentleman. residing not 100 voiles from Whitehaven
lately sent for a cooper to tap a pipe of wine. The cooper
seemed tither lung in boring the bole, when the gentleman
observed :—" Your tool is certainly not sharp, you are so
long in getting through."..-" Ab, Sir," replied the cooper,
" it IS the thickest head I ever saw;" " Don't you know,"
said the other, " that wine requires a thick head?" •• No,"
exclaimed the cooper, " but I know that thick heads get
by far the greatest share of it."
ROBUST Oho A os.—Yesterday week, two liusbadmen,

work in a strong rushy field, of two acres, at Whilestone
clongh, iii Sowerby, graving for oats, an occupation which
they have followed for sixty years. (Leeds Mercury.)

of the township of Rasingerold, innkeeper, was convictid,
before one of his Majesty's Justices of the peace, of har-
ing in her possession three pheasants, she not being quali-
fied by the laws of the realm to have the same in h. r pos-
session, and she having refused to pay the penalty, 151.
was committed to the house of correction for three months.
Also on the sth inst. Richard Woodcock, of the city of

On Monday afternoon, an amusing wager of one lain-
deed sovereigns was decided in the neighbourhood of tiles-
gow, which showed the comparative swifturss of a man to
a horse. One gentleman undertook to run seventy yards
before the other could gallop one hundred on the best
hunter that could lie got. The ground was railed off. A
gentleman at the end of the course gave the signal, the
parties started, and the gentleman beat the horse by about
fire yards.
Legal proceedings. it is reported, have just been institu-
ted against an individual well known in the sporting

THE KING.
--...0w.-

WINDSOR, SIINDAY, Pan. 15.—0 n Thursday afternoon,
at a little before six, hls Majesty arrived at the Castle. On
his entrance into Windsor he was cheered by the inhabi-
tants; the bells rung, and his Majesty's tradespeople illu-
olioated their houses. It was not known till Wednesday
that the King would gratify us with his presence on leaving
his Marine Palace at Brighton, but It was thought he
would proceed to his Palace in Pall-Mall. The arrival
took place at a few Minutes after six on Thursday evening,
his Majesty having left Brighton At half-past twelve on
the same day, thus passing over a distance of sixty miles
in that short space of time. His Majesty has, for some
two hark, dispensed a ith the etiquette of an escort in
travelling, except the first stage in starting, and the last
on arriving; for instance, a party of the 7th Hussars
escorted him from Brighton to Hickstead, and a party
of the 3d Light Cavalry, stationed et Hounslow Barracks,
escorted him from Staines to Windsor. His Majesty
kis not been out of the Castle since his arrival.
On Friday his Mai-sty rode out in the Parks, and in-
sp•c/eti the works which hive been in progress derfitg his
absence, particelarlv the rides and road to the Royal Cot-
tage' which are to be direct, not circuitous.
'fie improvements in contemphtion here are not con-
fined to the Royal residence. It is proposed to throw
down the whole range of buildings from the New Church
to the foot of what is termed the hundred steps, so called
from the ascent to the cloisters of the Cathedral, by 140
steps at that spot. The effect of this will be to create an
opening of several hundred feet, which will be encircled
by a new cresent having in the centre the whole outward
sweep of the castle. at once bringing that magnificent ob-
ject into full view from every part of the town, and one of
the first that strikes the eye on entering it.

The building called the Upper Lodge has been entirely
removed, and nothing now remains to impede the comple-
tion of the New Cut to the entrance of the Castle on that
side. A beautiful view over the Forest has been obtained
by this alteration, and a direct communication with the
Long-walk. At the extremity of the Long-walk, a distance
of about three miler, is to be placed the ignestrian statue
of his late Majesty, upon which Mr. %Vestmacott has been
for some time engaged. This will occupy a commanding
situation on the summit of what is called Snow Hill, upon
a pedestal rising fifty feet above the ground, an elevation
which will render it conspicuous from every part of the
neighbourhood, and to a great distance on every side.
The statue will be of brow, and the fignre will be made
to point towards the Castle, the long and last abode of its
representative. None of the projected improvements made
any progress during his Majesty s absence, it being under-
stood to be his Majesty's wish to superintend them himself.
The only change of importance now proceeding is; the
biting down of B'enbeini Tower, which is destined at once
to restore the building to its original outline, and to throw
a body of light into St. George's Hall, which has been
wrapped in gloom ever since the erection of this tower. It
is also a part of the plan for the alteration of the
Castle to carry the terrace completely round it.
This day his Majesty attended Divine Service at the
Chapel Royal, in the Castle. Mr. Sumner preached and
read prayers. The Terrace is thown open to the public
every Sunday. The Bands of the Blues, and the 34th
Regiment, bate commenced playing there. and will con-
tinue to do so every Sunday. The day has been peculiarly
sue, and the scene has been unusually well attended.

Duette, Feb. 111.—The second Drawing-room for the
seams took place at the Castle last night. It was more
numerously attended than the preceding one. We were glad
to perceive that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant ap.
peered to be iaeseellent health and spirits. The dresses
oldie ladies were tisoet splendid. The compaay began to
arrive about nine o'clock...(oolin Mottling Post.)
Tn. Ottarmawan.—The Brand Orange Ledge of Ire-
land. held its FialtAfearly Meeting on Monday lint: —no

degree militate against the law of the land.—(Dublin Eras.

Loup Kaggioes STATue.—The subscription for Lord
Erskine's Slaw is proceeding prosperously. It is said to

equally liberal secession from Ireland is confidently ex-

New LIMAS! Saturday a Genera
Meeting of the Directors and Proprietors of the Auction)
Mart, was held in the Great Room of the Establishment
fur the purpose of confirming a report made at a former
meeting relative to the foundation of a Subscripoion and
Reading Koom, and certain alterations in the building for
the prop, sed object. After some discussion as to the
mode of fr 'ming the resolution, and the terms of 'mimed p-
lion, it at length was terminated, by the unanimous
coorerrenre of the meeting in the original proposition of
establishing a subscript!on and reading-toom ; and that it

into effect. Previous to toe separation of the meeting.

IRISH REVENUE INTABLISHMENTS.
--dadowww.
The let and 2d Geo. c. 9, and the 3d Geo. LV, c. 37.
appointed Commissioners (Messrs. Wallace, Prankland,
Lewis, Lashington, Ste.) "to inquire into the collection
and management of the Public Revenue arising in Ireland,
and into certain departments of the Public Revenue in
Great Britain." raring the last and preceding Sessions,
those Commissioners presented voluminous Reports to
Parliament, which exposed extraordinary abuses in some
public departments in Ireland, and pointed out absolutely
requisite remedies.
The Stamp Establishment in Dublin is about to be placed
on a different and on an improved footing; and a tempo-
rary Board established for the management of such de-
partment, till further improvements can be matured. To
take a lea.ling part in the conduct of it, William Camp-
bell, Egg , Comptroller of the Legacy Duties at Somerset.
house, is expected to leave London for Dublin this day;
and he will be aided by two gentlemen who are already in
Dahlia.

The Custom-house and Excise departments of Ireland
and Great Britain are to be consolidated or rather antal-
gimated. Fifty officers, &c. of the English Establishments
have gone to Ireland, and fifty officers, &c. of the Irish
Establishments are forwarded to England. The mer-
chan.s in Dnblin and in other parts of Ireland, have al-
ready borne testimony to the advantages, and the absence
of partialities producing by feting, that result from the
improvements. To show, however, what the Revenue may
gain (saying nothing of the improved manner of transact-
ing business) by the reforms that have already been ac-
complished, it may not be uninteresting to observe that at
Belfast, five Custom-house officers used to manage all the
brininess in two or three hours each day, whereas seven
officers are now engaged for eight or nine hours each day,
in investigating the foreign goods alone.
The Commissioners are proceeding in their labours.—
They go to Scotland this year. Mr. Wallace was the
Chairman of this Board; but since his appointment to be
Master of the Mint, Mr, T. Frankland Lewis has acted as
the Chairman, and bas been uncommonly assiduous in his
attentions. Mr. Wallace, however, does not retire from the
Board,
