On Friday night, after the breaking up of' the Cabinet Council, Mr. Wariig, a King's Messenger, was sent off from the Foreign Office, with despatches for St. Petersburgh. Yesterday the Princess Sophia visited the Duake of York. On Thursday, Mr. Crotch, the King's Messenger, ar- rived in town from Paris. The Governor and the Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, the Chairman of the West India Dock, and the Chairtnan of the East India Compary, had frequent inter- views with the Earl of Liverpool, during the past week, at his house in Whitehall. It is stated in a letter from Frankfort, that the capital of Patersburgh has been the theatre of great calamities. The Newa overflowed its banks in the night between the 19th and 2Oth of November, witlh such impetuosity, that the lower part of the town was flooded, and more than 1,500 persons lost their lives. The destruetion of property is estintated at raany millions of roubles. W'e have received a publication of the Rev. Mr.Fletcher's, entitlel An Appeal fo Public Opiniont agai?ut the .f:so iate Synod, but have not as yet had tine to peruse it. We may give a short no- tice of it on a future day. The Dake of Clarence went on board the Columbus, at Blackwall, on Friday, and afterwards partook of a cold collation, which was prepared in the great cabin. It is rumoured that an establishment has suspended its payments in one of the principal cities in the empire, and that cir- cuinstances are connected with this event which will create universal interest as soon as they become publicly known.-.Eaenirg paper. It is stated that Mr. Fauntleroy had a box at the Italian Opera last season, for which he paid 40l.-Sundaypaper. Trhe report of a comedly, fromn the pen of the Earl of Glengall, being in preparation at Covent-garden, has originated in a mistake, in consequence of his Lordship having introduced a gen- tleman of' literary aeco;nplirhments to the mana ers of that theatre. Lxa^t:eESIOuSE MAiticar.--The application to the Crown by AMr. Brunton for a charter to hold a public market at Limehouse, has at length been accomplished the charter having passed the Ureat Seat on Thursday last_- The inhabitants sf that populous district will no doubt experfence the great convenience resulting from such an establishment. Seven seamen of the Prince George, of London, Par- ker, master, have been committed to the Bridewell at Gosport to hard labour, five fbr twenty, and two for thirty (lays, fbr mutinous conduct on board, and refusing to proceed on their voyage to Ja. maica, agreeably to their contract. *tre hope that this may act as a salutary warning to seamnen in the nierchant service, who too fre- quently, upon receiving their advanced pay, consider that they may change their ship, or desert at pleasure. Hadthe ship been wrecked in consequence of the mutinous conduct of tbese men (which was only prevented by the activity of the captain and mates), they would have been guilty of felonv, and must have taken the consequences. -Hampshire Telegraph: Thursdlay last was the day appointed (not by vestry) for the election of organist to the parish church of Edmonton, when the daughter af the Rev.

The worthy rector's dau-hter was elected to a salary of 401. X year. X Joint Stock Company, under the naae of the Albyn Company, has been started at Edinburgh, with a capital of 260,0001. Its object is to facilitate the investment of capital in feauduties, houses, and other species of heritable property.-Scotmrau. MILLX.-Proposals are at present in circulation for esta- blishing a Joint Stock Dairy Company in this city (Edinburgh),with a capital of 25,0001. The scheme, we shou14think, bids ilr to succeed, if prudently and economically conducted. The respectabi. lity of ouch a Company would ensure the public against the dilution or adulteration of a commodity in universal use, and enable uur townr1smen "r in populoas city pent," to have two of the greatest lux. uries the country affords-milk and cream-in the mnost genuine and perfect state. I t i proposed, also, to combine with this .eadlng ob- ject, thefeeding of calves on an itmprovedi plan, and the introduction of a better systeYa in the muanufacture of butter and cheese.-Scots.
