On Thursday MUr. Canning left town on a visit to the Earl of Bristol, at Ickworth-park, Suffolk. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left London in a post-chaise, at the breaking up of the Court of Exchequer, after the nomination of the Sheriffs, and proceeded on his way to Gorhambury. Yesterdsy being the morrow of St. Martin, the Lords of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council assem- blet according to annual custom in the Court of Excle- suer, to receive and arrange tha nomination of the Slheriffs for the different counties, at vhich the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as the head of that Court, presided in his full robes, accompanied by the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Secre- tary Peel, Mr. Wynn, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Com'mon Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron, Lord Colehester, Sir John Nicholl, and Sir Henry Russell. The nine Puisic Judges attentded their Lordships, and the no- iniiation of three genatlemen for each county proceeded, wlhich occupiedt about an lhour. Mr. Justice Little(lale left the Court soon after the nominatio) comnmenced, his Lordsliip being the junior Jutdge on the late circuit, and the nomination of Sheriff's being the duty of the senior Jutdge. The learned Jutge proceeded to his chambers, where he ha(l some important business to attentl to. SACRIFICIOS, Aug. 11.-A Spanislh frigate, two large corvettes, and five merchantmen, with troops, suppsedi about 500 or 600 men, have arrived to relieve the garrisen of the castle of St. Juan t'Ulloa. EThese are the ships seen by the Captain of the Wfralworth Castle, and fully confirm the statement ma(le by himi, which at. the time create(t so much discussion.] It appears that the iMlexican Goverinenit has acknoew- ledged thc independence of the new republic entitledl " 'lhe Central States of America," formerly knownv by the name of (Guatimnala, and comprising, under lhe Govern- inent of Spain, a part of the viceroyalty oftMexico. A decree for this purposc passed thc Supreme Congress of Mexico on the 20tlh of August, andl on the 231 of the same inonth, Senor Mviayorga, accredited as Miniister from the niew republic, presented his eredleitials, an4 was duly re- cognized in that character. It is whifnsical to see hiow soon the high sounding laniguage of European diplomnacy is adopted by these novelgoveruments, as fast as theyspringup. Some very curious pieces of tapestry, representirng some of the cartooni of Raphacl, antI fbrmerly constituting an ornamneint of one of our Royal palaces, have been lately purchased in Madrid by an English inerchant, and for- wardedl to this country. They are ninle in number, and the subjects represented are as follows:-The iniraculous draught of fislhcs; St. Peter curing the lame; St. Paul and St. Barnabas in Listria; the magician Elimas struck blind; St. Paul prcaching at Athens; Christ givimg the keys to St. Peter ; the dleath of A.nanias and Saplhira ; the (leatlh of St. Stephen; the conversioni of St. Paul. 'T'hese works of art were purchased from the Duke of Alba, to which famnily they have belonged since the year 1662, havimii devolved to thiemn upon the death of the Marquis del Carpio, who pur- chase(d them in Englatif in the year 1649, at a public sale of the eff.cts of Charles I. They were imadec at Brussols turing the reigni of Leo X., fromn the original cartoonis. CA OlBR1lGE, Nov. 11.-HiS Royal Highiess the Duokc o, Sussex, accompanied by the Honourable E.

MR. FAUNTLEgOY'N RESUDENCH AT BitIGHTON.-ThC house is a close copy of a Grecian villa, witb but one floor; it is ap- proached in the centre-under a porticof .which entees by windows- to the vestiLule; the aspect is routh, and as there is an entrainc loor to th ecastern end, we shall describc it from that cntrance, Thi dloor opens into an arcade, whici runs direct through the building ; im. nmceifately on the left (all the priucimmal rooms being in front) is A 4resinr-room, and the bed-room which wasoccttpied by air. Faunt- leroy. Thc next room is a parleur with an arched roof, theni thc ves- tibule, a joining to which i8 a similar parlour, and then A bed-room and dressing.room, which were gencrally occupied by the mother and sister ofthe uniortunate man. All the rooros opening from the right of the arcadc are servants' rooms. There isnothting on the prcmiisesatall extravagant; the furniture is respectable, but nothing miore. Tic par- lours are tastefully decorated with green trcllis-pattern paper, antl the totit ensstinble iS befittirg the residence of a gentleman. The western enid of thie arcade opens into a conservatory, communicating withi the billiard-room, whichi is vcry elegant and peculiarly well fitted ; it resemibles a tent, and is, we are told, an exact resem- blance of the tent whicl Buonaparte carried with him in his cam- paigns; the walls are remarkably vell stencilled, and the resem. blance wliicb they bear to linen is the closest we ever observed; there arc foar sofas fi ted in recesses the roorn is Imandsomely car- pettedl, and in warmed witb hot air from the flues of the conservtatory. The servants' offices gre as convenient as can be expected and there is a capital 4-stall stablei and double coach.house. Rhe whale of the interior, excepting the parlours and bed-rooms, is lighted with gas ; ss are the stables. There is a very pretty lawn round the tront, andathe wholc of the premises arc enclosed with a flint walU. Ar. Dawson, of Great farlborough.strcet, London, has been at Samp- toil Loige during the week, to takec an account of the estate and fur- niture for tl e imepose of sale, which, however, will probably not take ulace until the ensuing mnonth.-Brig/etwe GnacUe.- DUF.L PHEVENTED.-A duel wvas happily prevented by a timely interference of the police, which, if suffered to take place would, in all probability, have been attended with the most fatal consequences. The principals were James Crosbie, Esq., onc of the members fbrKerry, and Peter Bodkin liussey, Esq., a gentleman who some vears esice retired from the bar. The parties met at a place called Jiallybeggin, near Tralee, on the morniing of Friday last, at r. Crosbie was attended by Colonel Staughton, and l\r. Hussey by a Mr. Churcb. The necesiary arrangerieuts for the com- bat were about to be made, when the appearance -ef the police obliged thleparties precipitately to leavethegrotir.- Colonel Crosbie subsequently sent .vord to - Air. Elussey that be wouild be ready to mect him in the county oif Liniierick: bit ir. Hfussey declined1 a mreting at that pasticalar place. So the matter rests for the present. This most unpleasant iransaction grew oat of the folloingu circeim. stances:-_S6me observation saupposed to be disrespec;ful, perhaps injurious, to the cbaracter of Colonel Crosbie, were made use of by NIr. Hussey; the story came to the cars of thig former gentleman, who insttantly'-renaired from htusseat ,s:3alyheige Castle, to the town ot Trahec,7to demand en explanationi froat Mr. Hussey. Thie partiws slet in a public reading room, an explanatIon was demanded, and the demand was followed up by ar act of personal violcce.- DrublIn ihfo~aing Post,
