CHRIST—the utility of prayer—and one of their subject,' of discus.,ion was, whether or not-there was a Oahu ? The Society has a library, principally of deittical works, to which all the members pay, and have access weekly when they meet.  The Duchess of %tad NGTON received the pleasing intelligence of the entire restoration to health of her illustrious Lord, early in the week, through the medium of a letter received by the Duke's sister, Lady ANNE CULLING SMITH, written about the 9th inst. In this letter, his Grace says I expect to leave this (Verona) on, the 45th instant, foi England."  The Duchess of WELLINGTON is with her amiable family at Strathfieldsay. The Earl of MONMOUTH gave his first dinner, a few days since, at his Lordship's beautiful residence in Portman-square. The Marquis and Marchioness of Csrarmos and family arrived in town yesterday from their seat, Wotton, Bucks.  SpasNa A Sp Stews.—On this money being given up, Spring sit: ..e was ready to fight Neat. from £lO to 400 of his own v.*: In th absence of Neate Belcher w.ts not prepared to I answer until the £l5O forfeit was paid. Spring observed th watt both well, and he wished much to try wbich was the Mgt .n. A' to the forfeit, It was decided that Neate was entitle.. it, and should have it; and any law proceedings should 1. met by a •übscription. llrmnx AND SULLTO3l.—These men met, and Josh. addressing Fbelt: n, very energetically sold, " Why a'nt we to fight, Tom ?' Melton replied, " that he meant nothing but fighting, and they , who talked about a cross, was only ofeard of their money." it 11.11 agreed that the battle should take place on the 28th instant. Mr. Jackson next produced the epistolary correspondence from ?Ir.

The woman wept bitterly. The Judge, to, appease her, said, " I have hit upon a method of consoling you ; embrace the religion of our Great Prophet, and I will force the murderer of your husband to marry you." It seems that the Turks have lately pulled down a part of the Parthenon, for the sake of the lead which is employed in the junction of the stones ; and this new depredation has strewed the ground with fragments of both sculpture and architecture.

We have heard that she' appeals there to claim from the Allies the execution of the Testamentary Dispositions of NA/Potato/I in favour of her son, and that this claim has occasioned great embarrassment to the French Ministers there. The-Court of Austria is said to feel some displeasure at an article in the French Papers relative to the succession to the Throne of Spain, in case the present family should become extinct, or that the Spaniards should determine on a change.
