c-aturftag to .ffiumftaoft* 1Post0t LONDON, DEC. 22. THE news from Antwerp comes down to Thursday afternoon. On the Tuesday night preceding, the French made an attempt to throw abridge of facines across the ditch of the demi-lune between the bastions Toledo and Pacietto, but in which they did not suc- ceed, in consequence of having-taken a wrong direction in the dark. Three-fourths of the bridge however had been formed, and the attempt was to be renewed. A major of engineers had one of his legs carried away, and General St. Cyr Nugues, Chief of the Staff, was slightly wounded in the shoulder. On Wednesday night, the young engineers, elated with the taking of Fort St. Laurent, considered the storming of the Cita- del an equally easy job, and addressed Gen. Haxo to make an attempt on some of the outworks. The Ge- neral was fully aware of the impracticability of any assault, in the present state of the works, and yet un- willing to depress the courage of his men, therefore, planned the assault upon the half-moon which covers the front of the Bastion Coledo. The 18th Regiment of the line was appointed to this dangerous enterprise, and, at the appointed hour, all being ready, the com- mand was given to march forward. Almost at the same 9 instant the Dutch commenced a most deadly firing from musketry, and very soon thinned the ranks of the intrepid besiegers. The French returned the fire of their enemy with great spirit and regularity, but were soon compelled to slacken, from the want of ammuni- tion. Some of the men, having strayed into the Lunette St. Laurent, found a quantity of cartouches which had been left by the Dutch, and they continued firm in their position until they were ordered to retreat. The loss of the French was considerable both in killed and wounded. In other respects no event of any im- portance has occurred. From all accounts the siege is now approaching its close; and the ensuing week p 11 will either furnish an account of a peaceable surrender, or avery sanguinary contest. The Dutch are, however, very confident that Chasse will eathis Christmas dinner in the Citadel. The Faris papers to Thursday contain not the slightest news of importance. The capital remained perfectly tranquil, and the Chambers were occupied upon matters which, however useful to the country, possess no interest for foreigners. Government ap- pears firm, and to carry everything before it. Sir Stratford Canning left Paris on Tuesday, on his way to Madrid. Some attempts appear also to be making in Paris for a Spanish loan, but hitherto without any prospect of success. According to the Gazette de France, the Russian Ambassador at Madrid has ad- dressed strong remonstrances to the Spanish Govern- ment against the" spirit of liberalism" which appears in the acts of the Queen Regent. The affairs of Turkey are said to have lately at- tracted much notice in France. Admiral Rouissin, the newly appointed French Ambassador to the Porte, had received orders to proceed immediately to his post. Whilst residing at Constantinople as Ambassador, lie is to retain the chief command of the French naval forces in the Archipelago. Some important negocia- tions are said to be on the tapis. It will be seen that an Ambassador has arrived on a special mission to this country. His Majesty's schooner, Pike, Lieut. Brooking, arrived at,Falraouth on Wednesday. She sailed from Lisbon on the 12th, and Oporto on the 15th.. From the latter place she brings the mail; but the Lieu- tenant reports that on the morning of the 13th a heavy cannonading was kept up from the Miguelite batteries on Oporto, which had the effect of destroying several houses, and a few lives became the sacrifice from the shot. It continued till the afternoon. Independent of that nothing had occurred worthy of note-affairs generally remain in the same state, Lisbon letters of 11th and 12th, by his arrival, dwell on the wretched state of the finances of the Portuguese Treasury. The officers of the army have demanded the payment of their arrears, and in such a tone as did not admit of a moment's delay in promising compliance. The Minis- ter Rastos compelled the manager of the Bank to make a prompt'payment of 80001. to the Paymaster of the Forces for the Army. For a week prior to the above a. very hot impressment for the army has been going on. The levy it is stated, will be made to the extent of 8000 men; some say 20,000. The Gazette of yesterday afternoon announces the appointment of Col. Sir E. J. Murray Macgregor, Bart. as Governor and Commander-in-Chief, of the Islands of Antigua, Montserrat and Barbuda, St. Christopher, Nevis, Anguilla and the Virgin Islands, and Dominica. The Bank of England has declared a. dividend of four and half per cent. for the last half year. Mr. Abercrombie, the late Chief Baron, and M. P. for the city of Edinburgh, it is now said will succeed to the Speaker's Chair, and that both Mr. Littleton and Mr. Spring Rice will withdraw their claims. The Sun says~ For some days past there have been meetings of all the Bishops in town, at the Palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and it has transpired, notwithstanding, the wish expressed by the Arch- bishop that secrecy should be obsered, that the meet- ings are connected with the important subject of Church Reform." Hisi Excellency Namik Pacha and suite has arrived in town, on a special mission from the Ottoman Porte to the British Court. His Highness and four gentle- men composing his suite are sojourning at Greillon's Hotel, Albermarle-street. The object of his mission is supposed to specially relate to the state of affairs in Egypt, and the nnal arrangement respecting Greece.- His Highness proceeded to Woolwich on Wednesday, for the purpose of inspecting the Artillery Depot. His Highness was shewn over the different departments by the Commandant, and expressed his admiration of the whole arrangement of this celebrated arsenal. After partaking of a cold collation Jhe party returned to town. By the death, of Vice Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart. the appointment of a Groom of the Chamber, and a Knight Commandership of the Bath, have become vacant. The members of the legal profession seem to have been remarkably unlucky during the late elections. Amongst the unsuccessful names are those of We- therell, Wilde, Sugden, J. Williams, C. Follet, Wake- field, Pemberton, Temple, Moore, Freshfield, Hal- combe. The following list includes the principal members of the law who have been returned: —Camp- bell, Home, Scarlett, Spankie, Pollock, W,Brougham, Tancred, Roebuck, D. W.Harvey, Godson, Ewart, Hill, Carter, Poulter, Lushington, Jervis, Faithful, Willis.—[Those in italics are solicitors.];—Legal Ex. The Court of Chancery has been occupied for some days in discussing a motion for committing a Mr. Far- quharson for contempt, in having furnished to the Times a report of proceedings before the Master in re- spect to the dispute between the creditors and the ex- ecutors of the late Duke of York, charging the latter. with improper conduct in distributing the effects of his Royal Highness. Sir E. Sugden offered to aban- don all proceedings against Mr. Farquharson if he would give up the author of the articles complained of. The Lord Chancellor said, a clear case of contempt had been made out, but added that he should allow Mr. Farquharson until next Hiliary Term to decide whether he would continue to stand between the jus- tice of the court and the real offender, We understand no less than four ex-M.P.'s, who are not famous for having led very ex-M.P.-Iary lives, liaxe taken up their abode at Calais since the elections. --Court Journal. JOHN GULLY, ESQ.—Amongst the most remarkable incidents of the present general election is the return for Pontefract of J. Gully, Esq of sporting notoriety. The sin- gularity of the rise of this person from the very degraded condition of a competitor in the prize-ring to the highest post of honour which a private individual can reach in this country, excites considerable curiosity respecting the incidents of his life and history. Mr. Gully was originally a butcher, and in the course of his career in the prize-ring was amongst the most scientific and successful of all our pugilistic champions. His first battle took place at Hailsham, in Sussex, on the 8th of October, 1805, his adversary being Henry Pearse, com- monly called the Game Chicken, and upon this occasion Gully would appear to have suffered a defeat. He next fought Gregson, at Six Mile Bottom, on the 14th of October, 1807, and Gully on this occasion was the victor, after one of the most determined contests ever known in the annals of the prize-ring. On the 10th May, 1808, he again defeated Gregson, in Sir John Sebright'* park, in Herefordshire. This was his last exhibition, and he subsequently kept the Plough piiblic-house, in Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. Of late years, Mr. Gully has been a most successful specu- lator upon the turf, and has realized a very considerable fortune, principally by betting npon commission for noble- men and gentlemen connected with Newmarket. He is the proprietor of Acworth Park, in Yorkshire; Hare Park, in Cambridgeshire; and a valuable inn and other property in the town of Newmarket. He has been the owner of some of the first race-horses of the day; and the extreme readiness and good humour with which,at Doncaster, in 1829, he paid losses to the amount of 40,0001. upon his celebrated horse Mameluke, raised him to a character amongst the most honourable members of the turf. Amongst the on dits in circulation upon the return of Mr. Gully, to the Reform Parliament, is one which states that it arose from a bet that was made between a noble Lord and the Hon. Member; the former laying a wager of several thousands that Mr. Gully could not get into Parliament. The wager was accepted, and of course won. It is also said, that Mr. Gully will only go into the House take his oaths and seat, and imme- diately afterwards accept the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. MURDER IN CLERKENWELL,—Last week a most hor- rible murder was discovered on the premises of Messrs. Williams and Son, soap-boilers, Comptom-street, Goswell- street. It appears that when the carters called about 8 o'clock that morning to feed the horses, they rang the bell of the yard for the clerk, who resides on the premises, to admit them; but after repeatedly ringing and received no answer, they effected an entrance through an adjoining house, and finding the counting-house door open, they entered and discoverd the body of the clerk lying on his back, his skull most frightfully fractured, and his blood and brains strewed about in all directions. He seems to have struggled hard with his murderer or murderers. The poker was found under the fire-place, bent nearly to a right angle, and covered with human hair and blood. Their object was evidently plunder, as the lock of the iron safe, which is one of Chubb's detector locks, was found detected, but they could not pick or open it, and took only the watch and a few shillings from the pockets of the deceased. The name of the unfortunate man is J. C. Shepherd, and he had been in the employ of Messrs. Williams and Son nearly thirty years, and universally respected. He was 63 years old. An Inquest was held on the body of Mr. Shepherd, on Mon- day at the Blue Last, Compton-street, Clerkenwell.—Mr. Smith,surgeon,lstated thathe was called to Messrs. Williams's soon after eight o'clock in the morning, and found an exten- sive fracture on the right side of the skull; the deceased was then dead and cold. He had no doubt he was mur- der.ed. Evidence went to show that the deceased was left in the counting-house alone on Saturday night, and was found murdered as stated above. The Jury returned a ver- dict that the deceased was murdered by a person or persons unknown.—On Tuesday Samuel Newland, aged 17, was examined at Hatton Garden Office on suspicion of having been the murderer. He had been formerly in the employ of Messrs. Williams and Son, and was discharged for dis- honest practices. He was lurking about the premises on Saturday evening. He declared his innocence in the most positive manner, and the Magistrate did not think there were sufficient grounds to detain him A free pardon is offered to any one who may have been concerned (except the Ac- tual murderer) who shall give such information as may be the means of bringing the perpetrators to justice. The watch supposed to have been taken from the person of the deceased by his murderers is described as an old-fashioned silver one, maker's name Benjamin Bell," and had in the outer case a printed paper of P. Headwith, watch-maker, 55, St. John-street." There were two. chased metal seals, attached by a metal fetter-link chain. <

J. STACEY, Clerk to the Trustees. Carmarhten, December 1st, 1832. To Land-Agents, Farmers, and Agriculturists in generaU A New and invaluable Assistant presents itself, in Wyley's Farming Account-Book. This short and easy method of keeping the accounts of a Farm, from a hundred Acres and upwards, is strongly recommended to all on whom devolves the management or superintendence of an agricultural concern. By means of a series of ruled pages, with printed heads, the Farmer is enabled to register every material circumstance connected with Labour, Produce, Profit, and Loss comprehending, among other details, Accounts of Labourers' Time, Settlings with Labourers, Grain, Stock, Cash paid and re- ceived, &c. Its pages are also so contrived as to present an easy means of detecting any inaccuracy, or delinquency, on the part of those to whom the farming department may be delegated. Pre- fixed to the work are copious and useful Observations, Rules for estimating the weight and value of live Cattle, Sheep, &c.; with various Tables well calculated to facilitate the keeping of the ac- counts of a Farm. The whole has been carefully prepared and digested by a gen- tleman of extensive experience, and who is abundantly qualified for his important task, by the practice which he has had in the profession of land-agent and surveyor. It seems, that every existing work of a similar naturewllicb came before the author, in the course of his enquiries on the sub- ject, appeared to fall short of that high accuracy and simplicity which are so manifestly desirable; and he accordingly perceived, that a work of superior qualifications must be very acceptable to the agriculturist: and he has therefore been induced to bring for- ward the present production, in full confidence that it will meet the approbation of those who may think proper to give it a trial. Volumes of two sizes have been prepared. One volume coh- tains sufficient ruled paper for seven years in succession, price i'2 2s. The other volume is contrived to meet the views of those who may wish to give the plan a practical trial previous to its absolute adoption; and it therefore contains enough for one year only, price 10s. 6d. The former is of course preferable for those who are able to form a judgment on inspection, as it offers a sav- ing to the purchaser of One Guinea and a Half, being the differ- ence septennially between the price of one book adapted for seven years, and seven books, each adapted for one year. A specimen of each day may be seen at the Ollice of this Paper, where Farmers and others are respectfully invited to call. Or they may be procured from any respectable bookseller, by hand- ing him the address of the publishers—Houlston and Son, 65, Paternoster-row, London.

It is justly designated the most invaluable and effica- cious medicine for the cure of every species and degree of tund and sea scurvy, scrophula or king's evil, erysipelas, ulcerated sore legs, or wounds in any part of the body, fistulas, piles; in short, every impurity of the blood, weakness and d'ebility.— Many persons in health highly esteem these drops for ihe pu- rification they effect and the richness they impart to the blood, particularly in summer, spring, and autumn, when cutaneous itchings and pimples affect the lace and hands, when, by taking only one small bottle, the skin becomes more fair than usual, and of the most healthy appearance. ¡ The above valuable article was invented, and for many years prepared, by Dr. GREEN, Newton Bushel, Devon; and, since his decease, by his Nephew, John Wilson Green, of the same place, who (as will appear by the following certificate) has dis posed of all interest therein to Messrs. BARCLA Y and SONS, Farringdon-street (late Fleet-market), London, by whom it is now and will in future be faithfully prepared.

SiR-The miserable state of despondency in which I was in. volved, for want of appetite and properly digesting the light food I partook, can be more easity imagined than described. Reduced to the brink of the grave, by depression of spirits, extreme de- bility, and spasmodic pains in the region of the stomach, I gave up all hopes of recovery, and began seriously to prepare for my passport to the regions above. But, providentially, bearing of in the very surprising recovery of Mr. P. Quin, of this town, I cou- rageously hobbled, with the kind assistance of a friend, to the medicine vendors to purchase a box of your pills, which operated greatly to my relief: finding this flattering change, I was induced to send for another, which expelled all the tron blesome sensations I felt in three weeks, and I am delighted to think it is [now in my power to inform you how much I value the Compound Petro-, leum Pilis," which has no doubt saved the life of Your humble servant, ROBERT ROBERTS., To Mr. Congreve, College-street, Chelsea.
