ARDEE.—Mr. HAMILTON, who has been seriously indisposed, is to-day (Saturday, Nov. 9) somewhat better.--(Dublin Patriot.)  The new Quakers' Meeting-house, in Castlesquare, Southampton, is finished, and the Catholic Meeting is held at the old Quakers Meeting-house. The former is so contrived, that it can, without difficulty, be enlarged or diminished.  A fine sturgeon, seven feet six inchesin:length, and a porpoise, were last week. taken together in the river Exe. The sturgeon, we understand, hay been forwarded as a present to his MA JESTY, Messrs. DOLIIY, CLARKE, WADDINGTON, and Mrs. WRIGHT, have all received notice to attend in the Court of king's Bench, at 'Westminster, to-morrow, to receive sentence.—Mrs. 'WRIGHT has prepared about 70 pages of manuscript to read in Court, stating why the Judges should not pass sentence upon her.  EFFECT OF PIRACIES:—GLASGOW, Nov. 9.— In consequence of the depredations of the pirates in the West Indies, premiums of twelve guineas per cent. were yesterday given in our Underwriters' rooms on Colonial produce from Jamaica—a rate exceeding the highest paid, when the world East, and West, were arrayed in arms against us. It does seem strange, that while the seas are covered with these pirates, none of our ships of war fall in with any of them. The men of war on the Jamaica station apiear to be wholly employed in carrying specie belonging to /merchants' from one port to another.—( Glasgow Courier.) A Lady residing in Cupar, lately received from a friend in the parish of Balmerino a quantity of hen's eggs, among which there was one of more than ordinary size. It was boiled and opened, and found to contain, besides its proper contents, a second egg, covered with a shell, wellshaped, solid, and natural. The Lady retains it as a curiosity. CANTERBURY, Nov. 12.—Tuesday, the Members of the' Historical and Philosophical Society held their meeting to Commemorate the Fifty-third Anniversary of the Formation of the Society, at the Guildhall Tavern in this city. It has been the custom for the Members to have a dinner on the occasion, but in this instance, it was dispensed with ; the chair, however, was taken, and many toasts were given—among them were the healths of the County and City Members, who have contributed, by their presents, to enable the Society to demonstrate their lectures by more than oral proof. Many other healths were drank, and the company did not separate till a late hour.  EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF ALARM IN A HOltsE.—A gentleman,., iu the neighbourhood of Chester, sent his servant to the Post-office on.a clumsy sort of a horse, that had never been known to leap before that day. It so happened that a glazier, who had been mending some windows at his house, asked the servant to let him ride behind. No sooner was he mounted than the horse, hearing the crate of glass rattling at his back, started off at full speed, and coming to the lodge-gate, which was five feet six inches high, spiked at the top, and the ground on each side of it paved, he cleared it all in his leap ; and wonderful to say, neither of his riders (although it was the glazier's first appearance on horseback) were thrown from their seats, or received any injury from their perilous situation. Elizabeth Tomlinson, of Ranton, near Stafford, has been committed to the county gaol, charged by the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of her husband, Richard Tomlinson. It would be highly improper to give any detail of the evidence in this, melancholy case, to which we alluded in our last Paper. After a painful and diligent examination of witnesses, which did not conclude until a late hoar on Monday evening, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the wretched woman, and she was accordingly committed on the Coroner's Warrant.--(Birming-ham Paper.)
