It will be seen that a verdict has been obtained by the Bridge-street People, against the publisher of a burlesque poem, called Thle Vision of judgment. Of this poem, and of the wretched farrago of hobbling verse of which it was a professed parody, we are not disposed to offer any de- tailed criticism: but we may ask what beneficial object the Society have gained by the prosecution, and the conse- quently almost infinite disseminiation of a work, which they state to be of so dangerous a tendency, that no one can read it without losing his respect for Royalty, and his reverence for religion. I:f they had been really conscientious persons, they would have suffered this jeu d'esprit to have glided quietly into that oblivion into which aU temporary jokes, however clever, are sure to sink. But no; their object was to make a show of zeal and activity, in order to procure fresh subseciptions from the credulity of the weak and une- flecting. So that they can gain that point, they care not how mnuch loyalty, morals, or religion, may suffer in the process. _

Sir,-Now the subject of the coal-trade is in agitation, I take;the liberty of calling public attention to one important point, as it aj3- pears to me hitlherco overlooked-the measurement of coals. I have been in the habit of passing, almost daily a considemble number of barges on the Soutl aide of the river, 6ut have notyct had the pleasure of noticing the use of tte Bushel measure in tie passage of the coals from the barge to the sack. I do not mcan to impute dishonesty to any one ; but it has occurred to me, ihat I buy all other articles by number, measrc, or weight, except these coals I am quite alarmed to discover that I consumed 10 chaldronz last year, which cost rne 301. I wish to know, and ask for the good of the public, what space ought to be filed with a chaldrin of coals. It appears to me, Sir, to be too much Ltouble to obtain satisfaction, that I am supplied with fair measure in the ordinary way. I hbayc no faith in the guessing work of the coalmen. I recomnend there- ore, that coal-cellars should bc so conlstructed and graduatel, as to show by a slight ins<pection, vwhether they contain one, two, three, &e. chaldrons. In order to do this, it iS necessary to know how many sguare feet a chaldron thould measure, aud if this hint should lead to the adontion of any useful plau. 1 shall be happy. r ours 6x. J. Li. T.

Letters from Rio de Janei...
The Times, 1824-02-16T00:00:00

Letters frun Rio de Janeiro, to the 17th December, were received on Saturday by way of Guernsey, but they are en- tirely destituLte of political information. This silence, hwnv- ever, is of value, inasmuch as it leads to the conclusion, that no events of consequence had occurred up to that pe- riod. The state of Brazil at this moment occupies the most anxious attention of the merchants trading with that coun- ?ry. The next packet, which was expected to sail about the lst ult., will probably bring intelligence oi. which a conjecture at least may be formed of the issue of the ex- isting crisis. There was an arrival on Saturday, also, from Pernambuco, of the date of the 27tlh of December, which represents the state of that province, respecting the ad- helence of which to the capital much doubt had been ex- pressed, as remaining perfectly tranquil, though some of the merchants declare tlhcir apprehensions that a separa- tion and an independent Government will take place there, unless the future conduct of the EMPEROR shall be regu- lated by better principles.

The Times, 1824-01-28T00:00:00

There has been among the Government retainers lately, a great deal of shuffling on the proposed increase of our standing army. Our first suspicion, when it was announced that some additional regiments w ere to be raised, was, that Ministers had an idea that France was planning some measures for thc recovery of the late Spanislh provinces in America, and that they were conseqite,itly getting ready to defeat that project whenever it might be attemptedl to carry it into execution_ Witlhout some such interpretatioii ildeed as this, it is difficult to solve the problemn, why Miinistets are increasing the army at this period of peace. WVhy might it not at least lhave remained as it has hitherto been ? All our foreign relations are the same now, as last year and the year before. What new light, then, has suddenly shone iu upon Ministers, making them s(-e that the same force is not sufficient for our security in 1824, wlhich had been sufficient in 1823 and 1822? It is said we have only seventy-one thousand regular troops in pay, exclusive of those in India. ONLY seventy-one thousand! We should think that number too many by about twenty thousand. Why are we, with the natural defence of the sea for ever cast around us, to be burdened with a regular armv RAi.'- -A - We- - - ---2 - - JLY-ORetl'ousalid regulars ? s eshould answer, to give patronage and to consumenemo. ney. But still more, why are these seventy-one thousanid to be increased? lVe observe with pain, that there are twenty-four thousand regulars in Irelaud. But why are eighteen trousand to be retained in England in which there are, besides, the yeomanry force and the militia ? However, it is chiefly against the proposed inirease that we contend, except somne new case is made out and submitted to Parliament ,23 the motive for the augrmentation. But wve really think that Minis ters ought not to be allowed to ,ay-tlwugh not ii plaia, words, yet virtualyl,-c Wei have "'had such aild such a regular foxce in preceding yeara, "but now we ivill have a larger force: not tbat any ir- "cuamstaiice has arisen rendering an. augmentation advisa- ble, but simply because we have just Founced up'on the "liscovery, thlat a larger force is a better, and prettier, and " more amusing thling; and ve wiU thierefore make a change, ' vhile all extlrnsI circumstances remain the sarne."

For several days preceding theist of January. this streetls coinpletely blocked up by carts arid waglons laden with mses of sweitneatsfor theprovinces.

JeweUery is also sold to a very large amount, and the fancy articles exported in the first week of the year to England and other countries, is computed at one-fourth of the sale during the 12 months.

The Du. chess de Bern has yainted an entire rooi of japanned pauncis, which will be set up in the Palce.; and the Duchems of Orleans has prepated an elegant screen. An English gentleman who was almit. ted suddenlv into t.he presenc ecf tbe Duchess de Berri two months ago, found her, and three of her maids of lhonour, lying on the car. et, painting the legs of a set of chairs, which werealso intended for the King ou this occasion, but whicb can hardly be yet finished.

The defendants bad given np the mranuscript in the land-writing of lirowne, and nentioned his addreas to the Bishop's solicitor; but he (Browne) had absconded, abandoning a lucrative situation of four guineas a-week.
