ONE OF THE MISERIES OF HUMAN LIFE. Being I a compositor on a newspaper, and having to insert the marriage of thegiil you love with a man old enough to be her futliei-! --tic is rich, and you are poor. THE NEW PERSIAN ENVOY, Hussein Pacha, who is now en route to town from Marseiiles, is said to be the bearer of 5u Cashmere shawls, of exquisite workmanship, as a present from the Seha to her Majcsly Queen Victoria. A COLLEGK for the education of persons destined for agricultural pursuit:i is about to be established in the vicinity of Maidstone, under the title of the Kent School of Agriculture. Miss JUI.IA NEWMAN.—The ship John Briiicick, has brought safely to our shores the celebrated female convict, Julia Newman. What has become of the lady mother of this interesting damsel we have yet to learn.—Sydney Monitor. THE FATAL DUEL AT WIMBLEDON.—Edward Delves Broughlon surrendered nt the Old Bailey Sessions, to an indictment charging him with abetting one Francis Lionel Eliot, to murder Charles Flower Mirfin. The plea of guilty was put in, aud sentence of death was recorded. The judge ia- liin.ited, that the punishment would not cxceeu thai awarded the other persons who had been engaged in the same transaction. A HANDY SEAMAN, who had escaped one of the recent shipwrecks upon the coast, was asked by a good lady how he felt when the waves dashed over him. He replied, Wet, madam, very wet." WATERLOO.—At three o'clock of the morning of the ISth June, when his troops were snatching a brief repose, the Duke w rote three letters, two of which were in French, to Sir C. Stuart, the Due de Beiri, and the Governor of Antwerp, calmly des- cribing his situation, and expressiug unshaken confidence in the result. CAPITAL Auv (CE.-At an anti-corn-law meeting in Aberdeen last week, one of the ultras remarked as fo\low: -'C In my opinioll, success in the struggle for universal suflia^e depends much upon the amount of our suffering." A voice in the crowd called out, c'Iucrrase the suffering then"—which elicited much laughter. FREE TRADE IN MACHINERY. — Mr William Norris, of Philfldelphia, has received an order for ten of his locomotive engines, from the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad Company, in England. Xeiv York Paper. MEDICAL COURTESY.—Sir Heury Halford pre- scribed ice-cream to some old dowager, who com- plained of her stomach, "Oh, Sir Henry," she said, It is too cold lily stomach won't bear it." "Then, my lady," auswered the obliging baronet you may have your ice warlJlcd.Gcntleman's Magazine- THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON has accepted the invitation given him from the Cinque Ports, to dine with the inhabitants resideut within the jurisdiction. His Grace has suggested August as being Ibe most favourable month, and likely to suit a:l parties best. Lord W inchilsea will preside. Two G ENTLE-DEN AT ONCE A couceited actor boasted of the number of characters he had played in one evening. I have seen you play two charac- ters at once," said a sock aod buskin brother. "What "ere they?" inquired the former. Wliv, you attempted the character of Casper, aud played the Devil with it," replied ibe latter. No Go.-At the Cabinet Council, held on Wed- nesday week, at Lord Melbourne's house in South Street, the Council sat three mortal hours in expec- tation of c, a summat to drink;" but since bis Lord- ship's residence with the Queeu he has given iii) keeping drinkables at home! There wasn t eveu a go úf gin to be had for love or money. RATHER IMPROBABLE. Among other rumours recently afloat, is one of Lords Melbourne, Durham, and Brougham having quietly settled all their differences over a noggin of brandy A MISNOMER.—A paragraph in the Globe which relates to the death of a laithiul servant after liviDO" 66 years in one family, is headed Exemplary Longevity." To couple the former word with the latter, is rather a droll idea, as if any one could help dying young! MAGISTERIAL SAGACITY.—Sir John Scott Lillie thinks it is a great proof of insanity for any one to object going to the County Lunatic Asyluti) at Han- well. In his estimation most men must be considered mad. We dare say if it were put to him, he himself would express his dislike at being sent there! COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BE- FORE."—Large droves of Irib pigs have, during the last day or two, beeu passing tinough London streets. The remainder of the" T:IÍ." are expected by an early steamer ballasted with potatoes, and victualled with whisky. THE MEMOIRS OF THE LATE DUCIlFss OF ST. ALBANS, announced by Miss Louisa Sheridan, will not appear; the notes rendered the work unne- cessary. A journeyman shoemaker at Marseilles, re- turning home drunk some nightsago, was so severely lectured by his wife, that he determined to makeaway with himself wit',) his cuttiij, kilire. This his careful spouse wrenched from him. After making other fruitless attempts, he pretellded to be pacified and took his child in his arms; but, while the good woman's atten'ion was thus diverted from him he put the child down, and threw himself out of the second floor window. The poor wife hastened off to the commissary of police, thinking her husband was dead, to get him to draw np the proces verbal, but, on his coming with her to the house, they found the drunkard sitting in his room at table, with four wine bottles, two of which he had already emptied to comfort himseif for the slight shake he had re ceived. — Gali-nanfs Messenger. CATAUACT.—In another column of our paper is an announcement of Mr Stevenson's singularly mild and eminently successful method of treating cataract, the fruit of deep research, great ingenuity, and long and extensive public and private practice in the surgery of the eye. A knowledge of this vast improvement in ophthalmic science seems well calculated to inspire confidence and diffuse consolation among every description of persons afflicted with cataract, whether in the form of a dimness, greater obscurity, or even total loss of sight. iiliPOKTED Loss OF THE SHIP MADRAS AND ALL HANDS.—A paragraph copied from the Limerick Standard, has appeared in most of the London papers, stating that tiie ship Madras had been seen ap- proaching the Shannon in such a situation as left little douht of her having gone down, with every person oil board. This statement is shown by the Shipping Gazette, ot last night to be entirely un- founded. The Madras, it seems, put into Seatterv Roads water-logged seveial weeks ago, and has remained Cliti-c evvr siuce.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 0 CANADA. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MONTREAL, DATED JAN. 14. "Sir John Coiborne has received from the Colonial Office full powers as Governor, the same as had been conferred on Lord Durham, and will be sworn in in a few days. We are expecting a few more executions of the most prominent of the prisoners. The bad success of the s., mpathising scoundrels in all their attempts, has brought < sympathy' to a diacokint at head-quarters in the United Slates. Papineau has returned from his embassy to Washington quite chop. fallen at the want of success in his endeavours to enlist a paity of Members of Congress into his unhappy, unfor- tunate, and rebel cause." The Sheridan packet-ship which arriv. d on the 13th, at Liverpool, brings New York papers to the 27th ult. The executions were proceeding in Lower Canada. An attempt to poison the whole military force en- camped at Brockville by saturating with some deleteri- ous drug the water from which the camp was supplied had been seasonably detected. It is one of the worst attri. butes of a villainous pirate war, like that waged by the American borderers, that it employs atrocities like this excluded from the usage of civilised nations. A vigor- ous rule of non-intercourse had been enforced along the British frontier, in consequence of this and other acts of the sympathisers. The United States papers give further particulars of the action at Vera Cruz, and furnish sufficient evidence to prove that the war is only beginning. Santa Anna was recovering from his wounds. JAMAICA. The accounts from Jamaica are unsatisfactory. Many of the negroes have betaken themselves to the moun- tains, where they are in a state of little if at all short of open rebellion. FRANCE. The winter, here, is now exceedingly severe. The streets are covered with snow, except where the gamins of Paris have removed it to enjoy themselves in sliding- Some of the lines of omnibuses have given over running until the mild weather reappears. All the public foun- tains are frozen up, and exhibit the appearance of mag- nificent glaciers. The Chateau-d'Eau, on the boulevart Bondy, is one mass of clear and transparent ice. Crowds flock round it every hour in the day to admire its beauty. The sufferings of the poor during this inclement season are said to exceedingly great. Public warming houses, where large fires are kept up night and day, have been opened in various parts of the town, and subscriptions h,ne been entered into to alleviate their sufferings. Not- withstanding the severity of the weather, all the balls, at the different theatres, have been crowded to excess. Never were they distinguished for greater gaiety and urilliancr. BELGIUM. The accounts from Belgium arc important. King Leopold is laid to have broken off all diplomatic rela- tions with th° Courts of Vienna ahd Berlin, and the French government has recalled all the French subjects, of all ranks, serving in the B I-Igian army. The troops of the King of the Netherlands have, on the other hand, been directed to withdraw to a distance of two leagues from the Belgian frontier. The opinion at Paris is, that King Leopold will accept the treaty of 24 Articles conditionally that the Chambers approve of it, but not on any other terms. CORSICA. THE SCRIPTURAL AND TEMPORAL POWERS IN COR- SICA.-Oll one of the dark nights of last January an in- dividual knocked repeatedly at the door of the Rector of Ccrvione's dwelling. The Reverend Gentleman, in dread of some foul play, at first refused to admit his noisy visitor, but at length suffered himself to be per- suaded, by the entreaties of a man who begged that he would immediately convey the last sacraments of the Church to a dying person, whose residence was not dis- tant. The moment the rector opened his door, he was vigorously seized by a masked brigand, who, pointing a pistol at him, compelled him to conduct him to his church. There, the brigand caused all the sacred vases and other ornaments to be delivered up to him. To carry them off more easily he set about making one parcel of them, and with such intent laid down his pistol, and hastened to gather his booty; but the parson, who was on th watch, availing himself of the circum- stance, pounced upon the pistol, lodged its contents in the skull of the sacrilegeous villain, and rushed out, roaring for help. On entering the church, the dead robber's mask was torn off, when the parishioners recog- nized the person of their worthy Mayor! ,r-

He has re- turned them to those whose addresses he could ascer- tain as one copy was sufficient for his purpose. Received J:5 15s. 6d. The PUBLISHER begs to inform an Abergavenny Cor- respondent who offers an Advertisement for 3e' that he never departs from the scale price, which is pub- lished from time to time in the Guardiait; except where an order is given for at least eight consecutive insertions. Mr WHYLOCK'S (8, Edmund Place, Aldersgate Street, London,) advertisement can only be inserted on receipt of an order for payment.

The letters of CYMKO HACH, SILUKIUS, and other communications are also unavoidably postponed.
[No title]
The opening of a Session of Parliament usu- ally furnishes such a multiplicity of topics, of greater or less interest, as to render it utterly impossible for wee kly journalists like ourselves; J to treat upon them all. we are, therefore, com- pelled to select a few of the more prominent. The Corn Laws, as we averred last week would be the case, have already produced va- rious skirmishes. But the grand figilt,-or at 11 least, a grand fight will be made when the mo- tion comes on for consideration on the 19th instant, to decide whether evidence shall be heard at the bar of the House of Commons, or not. Against the production of evidence, so long as there are any who are yet sceptical as to the beneficial operation of the existing laws, we should raise nu objection. The inimitable man- ner in which Sir IIOBEUT PEEL shewed from the testimony of Mr Wood, an Anli-Corn-Law Ad- vocate, that all the deductions of that honour- able gentleman were false,—and that the Mer- cantile Interest had benefited e<jua!iy with the Agricultural, under the operation of those laws, proves that the favourers of the existing sysltm have nothing to fear from honest evidence, nor frolll the fair deductions to be drawn therefrom. But there is a ground on which we do object to the production of evidence at the bar of the House of Commons and it is this :—That evi- dence could as well he adduced elsewhere and at an immense saving of the time of the House. But this would not suit the present tottering and incapable Cabinet. The production of this evidence will help them to gain time,-to reach the goal of another quarter day,-will enable them to taste one drop more of the sweets of office. To gain time has ever been the cue of these adventurers; and if they eventually op- pose the present plan, it will be only because they are compelled to do it, for the sake of sav- ing appearances. It so happens, also, that the more extreme section in the House#the whole-hog" Radi- cals, are bent on the same selietiie are travel- ling to the same point by a different route- HUME and his associates are anxious to return to the practice of on the of petitions. This has often cushioned a really important debate, by uselessly pre-occupying the greater part of the evening and if recommenced, will do the same again. It is clear, then, that both parties, Whigs and Radi- cals, are more than usually short of arguments, wherewith to support their various nostrums and to jain a little further space for considera- tion, will be a substantial benefit for them. A more important subject presents itself through tht medium of Lord (DURHAM'S report on Canada. This document, by some means or other, found its way into the Times newspaper, before it had b-eii formally laid 011 the tables of the Upper and Lower Houses and was the cause of one or tw') long conversations. The report in question is very voluminous, full of curious matter, and apparently digested with great labour and ca-e. It does not contain a word of explanation or even of allusion to the causes or motives of his Lordship's abrupt re- nunciation of his ofnee, but discusses at great length—first, the condition, social and political, of the Canadas and the other North American colonies; secondly,his suggestions for the re- moval of the various evils now in existence— evils which he considers to be of so urgent a nature as to require an immediate remedy, difficult as he admits it to be to discover such remedy. The document occupies 119 closely printed folio pages. It is impossible, so soon after its publication, to present even an analysis, considering that the latter part of it otity, Qr the summing up, in which his Lordship gives his opinions as to the measures best fitted to improve the North American Colonies, would occupy at least twenty-four of our most closely printed columns. We are not sure whether, on maturer considera- tion, that we or our readers will have much cause to regret this circlIlIIslanec, seeing that in the words of a talented contemporary, "Tlie prolix document tells Iloiiiii, that has not been told, and generally mti-it told before, except a few crotchets of Lord DURHAM'S own, which will pass for what they are worth." As Ministers have expressed their intention of in- troducing a measure on Canada before Easter, and taking the debate on the second reading after that time, we shall have opportunity to recur to the subject ;—a subject which in- volving the ",drare of a large province, the interests of the mother country, aud the honour of the British Crown, may well claim the close attention of every loyal mind. It is, however, all very amusing, to talk about what Ministers will do, and what Ministers will not do. The wonder is, wlio i,,i be Ministers even until Easter; and a greater wonder stilly who will be Ministers after Easter. Lord GLENELG has been kicked out of oifice regu- larly done by his colleagues. A scape goat had at length become necessary and who so fit to enact that part as tllt Colonial Secretary ?-pcr- haps the only man of any principle whatever, in the whole squad. As the story goes, a Cabinet Council, to which tiie drowsy Lord was not summoned, determined to make a new disposition of offices; that if» determined that if Lord GLENELG still rem;iine(l one of the Cabinet, it must be in an inferior office. Of course Lord GLENELG when informed of this, refused to be taken down a peg or two, and at once tendered his resignation. A piece of viler treachery to a colleague, can scarcely be found in the annals of political delinquency. The Ministerial ver- sion of the story is, that Lord Glenelg was pre- sent at the Council in question that he made no demur to the proposition and that when the decision was arrived at, it was discovered that as usual his Lordship had been fast asleep. We reject this story is apocryphal- Our belief rests firmly 011 the first explanation of this disgraceful affair and the more so as MELBOURNE .d Co., would naturally calculate that the drowsy habits of the Noble Lord, would forbid his being wide awake enough, for some time to come, to expose their consummate roguery. As we have said, the only man of principle is goile and it re- mains to be seen how long a botched-up Cabinet of Incapables can hold together. Among the minor matters, we observe a Bill has been brought in by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to provide for the safe custody of registries of deaths and burials;" which we think should have been provided for before. AVe have seen such things lying about in certain exposed situations before now, that a rogue btlit on mischief might easily have removed them, and committed them to the flames, before any one could have said "Jack RobinsHl." Fancy a shivering servant, some cold frosty morning, fast for a bit of paper to light the fire, just taking a loose leaf out of some greasy old book thrown by in a corner; or perchance some Apothecary s lad enveloping a penny worth of blue pill in the corner of ano- ther, before he handed it to a pauper patient and what a mighty h nefit to the poor must the registration of births and deaths have been, since the new Act came into operation! So much for that which has already floate d on the surface, since the Session opened. There are other subjects which have not yet been dragged before the light of day, which will require to be carefully watched, Itst the mischief which is intended be not detected and exposed. We had intended to have commented on a pamphlet which has j lIst appeared, from the pen of WU.LIAM WiLBKRFoitcii, ESQ., on the Laiv and Practice of Election Petitions,* but we reserve the subject forlallolher week. The sub- joined notice was entered on the journals of the House of Commons in the course of the pre- ceding session IC). Lord MAHON,—To move, that in the trial of controverted elections, the objects of justice, uniformity, and despatch,would be best attained by a tribunal not consisting of members of Parliament. "And, also, that leave be given to bring in a bill to carry the foreg-iing resolution into ertect. [Early next Session.]" We have also strong reason to believe that a "heavy blow and great discouragement" to the Church of England is intended by some new ministerial Educational scheme. Fortunately the friends of the Church, the friends of the poor, the friends of the community at large, the friends of religious, combined with secular education, are on the alert, and will be pre- pared to mect rh foe. The educational scheme above referred to, is developed in our parliamentary report on the fourth page. Either some sly underhanded work has yet to be exposed to view or Lord JOHN RUSSELL is at his old game,-gaiiiiiig liine. Published by Fraser, London.

THE BUCKS ELECTION.—AYLESBURY, FEB. 7. —The writ for the election of a member for this county, in the place of the Marquis of Chancios, was received this dav, and Monday, the JHth inst., has been appointed tor the nomination. There has been some talk of nominating Mr Forrester, a re- lation of Lord C'arringion, in the Liberal interest, in opposition to Mr Du Pre, but it is generally believed that no opposition will take place. On Tuesday week, in the House of Lords, several peNS were introduced, and took the oaths and Ihpir seals. J\moll ihetn were the Duke of Buckingham (late Marquis of Chaudos), Lord Car- ritiZ((,tj, &c., the Lord Bishop of Elphin, and Baron Ilossmore. GATESHEAD ELECTION -Tt is stated that Mr Cuthbert Rippon, M.P. for Gateshead, intends to resign, and that !Wr Unit, M.P. for Hull, will be introduced to (lie electors, in file event ofa dissolu- tion, as candidate for that boi,oligii.-Sitti(le)-lancl, Bcacon. The recruiting for the Army was very suc- cessful during the past year, thirteen thousand men having been raised, and joined their regiments or depots in the course of 1838. Recruiting is still going on very briskly; nearly five hundred men have been approved in the metropolitan district during the last month, and eqllal success it is tin. derstood attends the recruiting parties in the out districts. fn Lord Brougham's Bill brought into the House of Lords last Monday lor the belier regula- tion of beer-bibbing, it is proposed to be enacted that "any person may, without any license what- ever, sell by rciail any beer, ale, porter, cider, or perry, in any shop or house—provided the said liquors shall not be consumed on the premises." Lord Clarendon, the British Ambassador at Madrid, h is been much indisposed, arising from a severe cold. The last uccount, received, however, pronounce his Lordship to be much better. The public are not sufficiently aware of the efforts which are now being made in the east of London 10 suppress that disgrace to our Christian in,ti-ol,olis-ol)ell trading on the Lord's day. This evil was so much on the increase, and occasioned so much annoyance to respectable people of nil deno- mination", tb it associations have been formed in Spitalfields, Whitechapel. Bethnal green,Shoredilch, Haggerstone, Hoxton, Siepoey, &c. Many of the principal tradesmen have pledged themselves to close their shops on Sunday,and to pay their workmen on Friday or Siturday niorniug; and their numbers are daily increasing. I Sir JOHN FRAXKLIN has removed Captain Maconochie from the office of his private secretary an event which, at its date, the close of September last year, had caused considerable excitement at Sydney — Evening paper. Admiral the Hon. Sir Chas. Paget, G.C.H. C.C.j so seriollsly in,Jip()ed as to be lin¡lb'e to take com- mand of his squadron. In consequence of hjs afflicted state, being deprived of the use of his limbs, Commodore Douglas hoisted his broad pen- dant on board the Cornwall is, 7 L Sir Charles's flag- ship, and had gone down to Vera Cruz with most of the ships on the station —including file Piq,i, Captain R.Boxer; the Rover, Coininande' Synions the Modeste, Capt. 11.

THE BOROUGH OF THIRSK.—^ memorial from the electors of the borough of "IhirsL is in course of being presented to Sir Samuel Crompton, M.P., the Member for the borough, very numerously and most respectably signed, to be in his place in Parliament on the discusslon of the corn- law question, "and oppose any alteration in the present corn-laws." It would be very desirable if every agricultural constituency would immediately follow this example.— York Chronic e. PRIVATE Ell LS.-Thllrsday week the House of Comnious issued resolutions, declaratory that no petition for a private bill be read after Friday, the 22nd February; that no private bill be read after Monday, ISth March; and that the House would not receive any report of such private bill after Monday, 10th June. THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—The Clialicellor of the Exchequer recently presented to the city committee for raising a testimonial to the Duke of Wellington some bronze metal, estimated at XI,570, to be used in the construction of the city statue. The original subscription of £ 9000, added to this tribute, amounts to the sum of tlU,520, which, in the hands of a competent sculptor, must secure a work of art worthy of the city of London, the Duke, and the artist's expectation. NATIONAL EDUCATION AND CIJURCH EXTEN- TIOX.—On Saturday last, a pub ic meetIng of No- blemen, Clergymen, and Gentlemen was held at Freeiiiasoiis' I-lall, Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fieldq, London, for the purpose of taking into consideration the above important subjects, and to adopt resolutions and a petition thereon. The Hall was crowded almost to suffocation, and the speeches and proceedings appeared to excite the greatest interest. In the froFlt IInd Side gallenps there were a number of females of rank and fashion. On the platform were observed Lords Ashley, Sandon, and Teignmouth; Sir C. B. Vere, M.P.; Plumptre, Esq., M.P. Colquhoun, Lsq., M P,; Captain Wood, M.P.; the Hon. Mr Duncombe, M.P.; and Mr Hardy, late M P. Lord Ashley presided. It is understood to be the intention of govern- ment to confine their educational plans, during the present session, to the factory children. NEW COURT OF CHANCERY.—V/e are informed, on very good authority, that it has just been deter- mined upon to have an additional Court of Chan- cery, in consequence ot the impossibility of the judges of the present courts getting through the arrear of an accum dating business before them. We are told that thete is no less than an arrear of a thotisan(I caijes. The Solicitor General is men- tioned as likely to be the new judge.—Ministerial paper. It is rumoured in the legal circles that Mr Duck worth, the member for Leicester is to succeed Francis Cro«s, Esq., (resigned) as one of the Masters of the Hiirh Court of Chancery. The reduced emolu- ments of the uffice are 1:2000 per auujiu, paid by a salary. The Marquess of Norianby succeeds Lord Glenelg as the Colonial Sci etary.

L,,)r(i Corelto..is, *is slo%vl.v-,ccoverL:iig frotik ,It, paralytic affection with whiih he was attacked The report that his lordship lad resigned his seat on the bench, which we mentiOled last week, is, We believe, unfounded. REBUILDING OF TIIE ROYS. EXCHANGE.—ON Thursday week, there were plfced upon the table of the House of Commons, by tie Chancellor of ihe Exchequer, copies of the corrfspondencc that has passed between t he Lords ot llu Treasury, the cor- poration of London Royal Exchange committee, and other persons, relating to tie rebuilding of the Itoyal Exchange. From this correspondence it will no doubt be made apparent ivbo are the parties to blame lor the extraordinary delay that has already occurred in commencing this importaut I national concern. O'CONNELL'S CORN-LAW FEELER.—Dan has given it out, that thollgh lie may, and probably will, vote against the Com Laws, yet he will leave the ".Joints of the Tail" free to wag as they please, and vote as they like. Now, who is there that knows any thing of this Charlatan's parliainjnlary career, that must not at once detect, in i his ma- noeuvre, a mere grasping feeler nut out to touch tile pulse of ,great Mil!Ilolocli," the billy-i-oller manufacturer? Does the fellow think that his vote on the Factory Bill is forgotten? Or doe" he hope to Bcourc onother thousand p()undo, ltaay a thousand pounds," by this juggle? On Saturday last the Anti-Corn Law Dele- gates, appointed to wait upon Lord Melbourne, had an interview with his Lordship, which lasted an hour and a quarter. The Chairman entered into a long statement respecting the injurious effects of the Corn Laws; after which the Noble Viscount assured the deputation that he would take their representations into consideration, and consul t with his colleagues upon them; but lie could not at present ex press a ny decidd opinion. We find that the agriculturists in all direc- tions arc roused to exertion by the threatened at- tack upon their welfare. Buckinghamshire, under the able guidance of Ihe Duke of Buckingham, de- cl;ii-e(i itsell" oil in Lincolnshire large meetings have also been held, at Grantham, Caistor, Kesteven, Holbeach, Walt ham, & c. The turists of Hincktord hundred, in Essex, assembled yesterday. In Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Hunt- ingdonshire, S'llhdk, a; d Norfolk, meetings have been held, and pelitionsextenwively signed. Similar meetings have also taken place in Leicestershire, and various districts of Yorkshire, Rutland, and Nottinghaaihhire, are on the alert.—Morning Post. The admirers of thc ew Civil Onion Act will perhaps receive additional gratification to that which they derived a few weeks since from the account of the marriage or a man to his grandmother by a perusal of the following authenticated siate- nient of an occurrence which has just taken place in Cambridgeshire :-A person named Camp, parish clerk of Thei field, near Royston, applied to the clergyman to have the bans of marriage between him and his niece published in the church. This rcqtit-st beiiiir denied, Camp went to the board of guardians, had the intended marriage published, and was duly joined to his niece by the registrar. This i* prohibited by the Church. Camp was immediately dismissed from his clerkship by the vicar. It will be recollected that in the former prohibited and in- cestuous marriage a plea in its favour was advanced because the husband was illegitimate. In :his case that qualification does not exist. The performances in St. Paul's for the benefit of the Sons of the Clergy will take place c ii-liet this year than tisilill- 'I be rehearsal wiii be on Tuesday, April 30, and the performance Oll Thursday, May 2. under the immediate palronap-e of his Highness the Duke of Cambridge.

A subscription has beeu entered into, on the part of the principal, professors, m isters, and stu- dents, for the purpose of erecting a testimonial in the college chapel, commemorative of their sincere regard for the late head of the institution, of their deep respect for his ardent piety and varied attain- ments, alld of their grateful sense of his uneeaillg solicitude to promote the interests of the establish- mcnt. CHURCH LEASES.—Select Committee appointed to inquire into the mode of granting and renewing leases of I he lallded alld other property of the bishops, deans, and chapters, and other ccelcsiasiical bodies of England and Wales, and illto the probable amount of any increased value which might be obtained by all improved management, with a due consideration of the interests of the Established Church, and of the present lessees of such property —Lord John Russell, MrGoulburn, Mr Vernon Smith, Mr Pusey, Mr Lambton, Mr Granville Vernon, Mr Pease, Mr Childers, Mr Blake, Mr Baring Wall, Mr Aglionbv, Mr Gaily Knight, Mr Hector, Mr Ingham, Mr Solicitor General, Lord Eliot, Mr Baines, Mr Wil- liam Evans, Mr Hope Johnstone, Lord Viscount Sandon, Lord Viscount Ebrington. The Tithe Commissioners for England and IVale-A have appointed James Jerwood, of Teigu- mouth, Devonshire, Esq., B. A., and Ban i-ter-at- Liw, to be an Assistant Tithe Commissioner for special purposes; and he has taken the oath required. By tlie death of tile Hnll. and Rec. W. Daw- son, uncle of the Ear! of Portarlingiou, which took place in Dublin last week, a considerable accession to his already large fortune comes to the Honourabie Colonel Dawson Damer, the member for Por;arling- ton, who is also his nephew. The honourable and reverend gentlcman was in his eighty-fifth year. The licv. ]\Ir Garwood has returned to the office of Secretary of the London City Mission, which he recently reigncd. T. Peinberton, Esq., M.P fIr h;POII, has sent a donation of X300 to the Diocesan Church Building Sociely. The Earl of Lichfield gave the land on which the new church at South Town, Great Yarmouth, was buil', and which was estimated at £ .500, and towards the building. His Lordship also gave the land on which tne large new Proprietary School was erected, and land adjoining for play-ground the estimated value of which was E400. PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE IN ANDALUSU. —Prince George of Cambridge landed at Cadiz in the afternoon of Saturday the 19th ult., from the steam-packet Braganzu, asteuded by Colonel Cald- well. His royal highness honoured her Majesty's consul with his presence at dinner. The weather, though cold for Andalusia, was clear and bright, and favourable for the pursuits of Prince George. The Marquis of Water ford is much illdisposed at Limmer's Hotel, (onduit Street. His Lordshil) i- confined to his bed. Earl Grey met with an accident about a fort- night ago, which might have been productive of serious cousequences. After the fatigue of dressing for dinner, his Lordship placed himself ill a recum- bent posture on the sofa in his dressing-room, im- mediately above which a large picture, by Barclay, we believe, of Lady Grey and the scions of his noble house, had hllu lor lIIallY years. The picture fell upon his Lordship's forehead, which it cut severely, but happily did not fracture. The Noble Lord WaR stunned by the blow, and some slight temporary indisposition followed but we sincerely rejoice to say that from the first no apprehension of dang-er has been entertained. The late Lord Castlemaine has bequeathed his ample fortune to his excellent and benevolent lady to enjoy during her life, after which it will revert to bis successor in the title. His Lordship was found dead in his bed early on the morning of the 7th of last month. He had retired to rest apparently "u perfect health. His Lordship had attained his 7tiih year.—Longford Journal.

The Earl of Derhy, we regret to state, con- tinues an invalid. His Lordship is able to use big hand, and daily frailks letters, but he writes uu- steadily and with some difficulties. His Lordship, if sufficiently recovered, will leave for town next week, to be invested with the order of the Garter.

A note from \V J. Watson, Esq., to Mr Blacey, was also read, to collect or make up £ 10, by the time the Church may be completed, provided four other persons would enter into a similar engagement, Four of the Committec present havin immediately underta ken to enter respectively into such engagements, Mr Watson's proposal was thank- fully accepted. It was also settled that a piece of ground in Bute Street, near the new bridge, put at the disposal of the Committee by the Marquis of Bute, should be adopted as the site for the new church, and the secretaries were directed to com- municate thereon to his Lordship. CARDIFF LIBRARY.—Tiie magnificent collection of books presented to the Cardiff Library and Scientific Institution; by the Lord Bishop of Llandaff, has safely reached its destination; and the volumes have been arranged ill the library by the secretaries. It consists of 196 volumes most elegantly bound in calf, and lettered extra. The thanks of the Committee'have been transmitted to his Lordship by the secretaries, lor his splendid present, and a most gracious answer has been received by them in reply.

We were much pleased this week to see that fine and fast steam packet, the Lady Charlotte, after undergoing the usual examination of her machiuerv, and having entire new boilers, constructed on the most improved modern principles, combining both safety and constant supply of steam. We hear she will resume her station on Monday week the 25th inst. I-,IPO[tTATION OF WIIFAT.I'Iie cliperiiig sight of 18 or 20 good sized French veessels laden with wheat and other corn may now be seen off the Southampton Pier. LLA-iD,%irp, FAIII.Oll Saturday last this fair was held at Llandaff. there was a tolerable supply of fat cat- tle, which fetched prices from f22 and upwards good wethers from 35s. to 391.; cheese from .£3 to £3 IGs. per cwt. There was a good supply of cart and other horses; but few, we believe met with purchasers. There were not many lean cattle, and the prices in con- sequence were very high: few were sold. Tne bite storms have done considerable damage in the neighbourhood of Llandaff, and a very large IlUeI beautiful Acacia tree, has been blown down in the garden of Mrs John floixifray, attached to Llaudaff House.

THE LATH \VRI.;r:K.-Les EnfmlS Cheris.-Weare happy to find that the very laud-able and praiseworthy exertions of Rees Loughor, of Monknasb, (who, at, the imminent risk of his own life, was the means of preserving tho lives of the captain and the whoie of the crew of the French vessel Les Enfans (1/Cris, recently wrecked at Nass Point,) as well as the rest of those who rendered tlie.ir assistance in preserving the crew and cargo, are likely to be rewarded bv the liberal minded gentry and neighbours, who iitva expressed their wishes to become subscribers to a land for that purpose; and John Nicholl, Esq., of thyrmawr, M P., with his usual munificence his transmitted ,£20 to Mr Edward Perkins, of Mouktoo -9 10 for Rees Loughor, and the remaining ten to bo distributed amongst the others who assisted. Ativ other subscriptions, in furtherance of this desirable object, will be thankfully received, either by Mr Perkins, or Mr James Ballard, of the Bear Ism Cow- bridge. ANOTHER OUTRAGB ON THE REV. RICHARD MOR- C,A-I.- In the latter end of December last, we noticed a gross outrage committed on the property of the Rev E. Morgan, vicarot-LantwitMajor. T.ie most active" and spirited means were employed for the detection of the offender on that occasion, but without success. We leii-ii with deep regret that the same malicious and revengeful feeling has again shewn itself in acts of annoyance against that respected Clergyman and his family. On Monday night the 4th inst., "while he was presiding at a meeting of the police committee, in the town, a large stone was thrown through a bedroom window in his house, and but for the intervention of the blind would most likely have struck Mrs Morgan, who had just entered the chamber with a candle. On the following morning, a paper was found affixed to a. 11 p door of the town hall, threatening personal mischief to Mr Morgan, for having introduced a policeman into the place. The fact is, we find, that Lantwit has long been notorious for drunkenness and its concomitant vices" there being no Jess than twelve public houses in the- parisii, and some of them conducted without the least regard to order or decency. Mr Morgan for a )on,- time used his best endeavours to check the drunken and disorderly scenes, which disgraced his parish, by private admonition and reproof; and in one or two flagrant instances by proceeding against the offending parties before the magistrates of the district. But finding all his efforts unavailing, be at last exerted himsi If to raise a subscription for the employment of If a policeman to preserve order and protect property. This plan has been attended with the most beneficial effects. The public houses are regularly cleared out every night at 11 o'clock, the most perfect order is kept in the streets at all times; in short, the change is hailed with blessings by all the inhabitants, except a few, whose reckless and profligato course of life has thus received a salutary check. These cannot brook the restrictions to which they are subjected, and they steal every opportunity of wreaking their revenge on the Rev. Gentleman who has had the courago and resolution to effect the reform. W e sincerely hope, as Mr Morgan enjoys the esteem and support of all the respectable and honest part of his parishioners, ho will ere long be able to detect and bring to punishment those vicious characters who injure and annov him. HORACE WALPOLE mentions in one of his letters that a Welsh member once bad audience of bk father when the latter was under the hands of the barber.
