Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's a\

war, the Jason, hat arrived there the preceding d ty.

to cruise against Spain. The Coalman ler of the

We learn to-,lre by advices from Tangier, that the
new Emperor, Maley !sham.), was found deal in his
palace at Tetuan, by one of his Ministers, on the night
of the 14th or 15th instant, which event was kept secret

and clothes; souse stragglers were arriving yesterday at
the latter town.
" It was known here some days that the Emperor.

medical man ; but it seems the Lieutenant Governor
would not comply with Isis request. The Emperor
promised to allow a free export from Barbary at the

fortune.
The communication between this and Barbary will
lie opened on the 211th instant, under quarantine re-

A considerable quantity of Clay-moulds or matrices

within these few days, at Isiogivell-Yale, near Wake-

This splendid attribute of Royalty, which ha• just
been Completed, was on Tuesday deposited in, the
jewel-house, Tower. It is much larger, loftier, and
more magnificent than the former Crown, and more ap-
propriate to the splendid taste of the Sovereign. It is
about 15 inches in elevation ; the arches, instead of
sinking in their centre, are raised almost lo a point,
being themselves embossed and edged with brilliant•,
and supporting an orb of brilliants also, more than six
inches in circumference. This is surmounted with a
51altese diamond cross, nn whose top and sides are
suspended three remarkably large pearls. In the front
of the Crown is a unique sapphire of the purest and
deepest azure, two inches long and an inch broad.--
At the l*ck is the ancient ruby, which was worn by
Edward the Black Prince and ortr Fifth Harry in
the victory of Poictiers and Agincourt. The sapphire
and ruby are each inserted in a Maltese cross of bril-
liants, while the other parts of the Crown are ores-
pied with large diamond flowers. The rim is encir-
cled with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies,
of very considerable magnitude ; and the %hole is sur-
rounded, immediately above the ermine, with large
pearls. The several other articles of the King's regalia,
and of the splendid Coronation service, are also placed
in the jewel-house. Thee have been all restored to
their ancient splendour, vreparatory to the Coronation.

It is seldom our Int to record the dth of an indi
vidnal so universally esteemed, or wheaose loss will oe,
casino so irreparalsle a !dank both in the academical
celebrity of this city, and the national distinction of
the country. Ile has lung been at the head both of
the Medical School and the Medical Prat tire of Edin-
burgh, and to his great talents and distinguished
character much not only of the eminence of the Uni-
versity,lmt also of the prosperity of the city, is to he
ascribed. Fur above forty years lie has annually taught
the ,Nledical Students of the University the most im-
portant part of their prof. ssional ditties ; anal an admi-
ration for Isis abilities. and reverence for his charac-
ter, have, in consequence, extended nut only as far as
the English language is spoken, as tar its the light
of civilization has spread in the wswl.l. Perhaps there
is no scientific man now in existence svh.a, nan- is so
universally revered, or whose instructions have Mt-
fused over sal wide a sphere the means of reiirving
human distress.
