LONDON. S 4 TURD A Y, JANUARYS. THE accounts from Cuba received this morning state, that Gen. Morales was ibout to fit out another armament against the Spanish Main, having been supplied with, money by the Governor of Havan- oah, who had also furnished his troops with arms, and was fitting out ships for their conveyance. It will be remembered that when Morales surrendered at Mara- aibo, he pledged his honour not to bear lrms against the Colombians again. It is rioted in private letters, that this altera- ion in the proceedings of the General, 1as been the result of some advices from oain, and that he has been promised re- cements as soon as he shall have d the point of his destination. tters from Bahia bearing date the Jth Nov. state, that all was tranquil hue; the Government of the Emperor "d been proclaimed amidst great re- icings, and the Government there wa,s >eaceably established. By accounts from Mexico we learn, that the Congress had come to a resolu- tion not to hold coincidence in future With any Commissioners from Spain, either for the purpose of preventing hostilities, or forming a Treaty of Commerce, unless 'he Commissioners were prepared to ac. knowledge in the first instance the inde- pendence of Mexico, that being the basis of all future negociations. Letters have reached town from the Cape this morning to the 4th of Novem. ber but we are not aware that they bring any intelligence of interest. Our latest political advices from Rio Janeiro state, that the Project of a Con. stjtlltion was under discussion in the Cor- tes. -It recognizes the right of Trial by Jury, inviolability of person and property, toleration of religious opinions, and free- dom of the Press. Extract of a letter from Bahia, dated Oct. 17. With some alight exceptions our city is tranquil. A Commander-in- Chief appointed by the EmPPror» has been sent back to Rio Janeiro, the troops refusion' to acknowledge him since which, re USIOI:) Gen Lima, who was appointed to the command, has resigned. It has been as. „A hv the Provisional Junta. We are 8umea vj jjrotnised a visit from the Emperor; such a measure at this moment would be very politic, and might serve to unite his sub- jects, and attach them more firmly to his persoo," I;relaisd.-The apprehensions of dis- tress in Ireland entertained at the begin- ning °f winder,^jave greatly, if not wholly, disapPeare^' <lu4ntity of potatoes, the chief sustenance of the labouring classes, is likely to be, abundant. A more than usual proportion of land had been devoted to the tillage of theln-and there has been no severe or continued fall of rain to injure the crop. Farming produce h c also been for some time on the rise, ptrhaps the .best evidence of improve- ment in the condition of the people is the "aduil return to tranquillity. Outrages are still committed, and, unhappily, mur- ders are recorded in the Irish newspapers. But they are no longer of ordinary oc- currence They are not the rule, but the exceptions. Let but the act of God, or the prudence of the Legislature, ren- der the state of the population somewhat bttter, and there can be little doubt of a corresponding improvement in the state of society. One of the most generally Correct instances of reasoning from effect h cause is in the condition of a people. There is scarcely an instance in which a disorderly population is not the growth of a distressed or comfortless existence.— Some surprise is expressed that the Irish have not shown a jubter sense of the dis. position recently manifested by the Go- vernment and Parliament. But let it be iremembprfd that it is only disposition.— Nothing is more impatient than a multi- tude, anfl particularly an Irish multitude. lt ii not reasonable to expect that mere goof, intentions, however unequivocal, should have any t'lfert until they bejjin, 1 J 1"" at least, to be put into execution. The I I)riii(-i, al measure of conciliation--indeed, the only one—as yet tried, is the Tithe Commutation Bill. But that, unhappily, has proved a source rather of discord.- It has wholly failed to satisfy either party, and has, we are informed,, been pretty ge- nerally abandoned in despair. From the manner in which it was treated in the Houses of Parliament, but little was ex- pected from its immediate operation.— It was universally admitted to be rather an experiment, to be observed with a view to ultimate legislation, than a mea- sure of practical and permanent effect.— Upon one point only there appeared to be not the least doubt-viz., the good intentions and liberal feelings of the Right Hon. Secretary who introduced it. It will, we understand, come before Par- liament early in the Session, with the ad vantage of knowing how far it has or has not worked, and what objection and in- convenience have arisen on the part of those to whom it applied—the payers and receivers of tithes. INHABITED HOUSE DUTY.—We wish to call the attention of the public to a cir- cumstance of the greatest importance, and which if not noticed and exposed, will he productive of much and general disappoiiitmet)t we allude. to the at- tempts now making in many places, to ,increase to a very considerable extent, the assessments on which the inhabited house-duty is computed. We know in- stances in which the assessment paid for years past has been more than doubled surcharges the most vexatious and tor- menting have been made, and these at- tempts at increased taxation are the more annoying, as we are confident they are not authorised by the desire or instruc- tions of the Exchequer. The whole dis- trict extending from Oxford to Chelten- ham, and the neighbouring places, has been thus subjected to increased charges. In Cheltenham, particularly, an addition of at least one.half has been made to the whole assessment; in some instances pro- -prg perty which has always hitherto been rated at £ 50 has been surcharged to ^19.0; and there are some cases of the most extravagant increase, such as a house adjoining to a pump-room, consist- ing only of two rooms, and occupied by the person who cleans the pump-room, which house has always hitherto been rated at £10, is now charged zeloo, whilst sur- charges upon the number of windows have been made at random, and in the most arbitrary and careless manner though an appeal in this case will give relief. It is much to be regretted that the subaltern agents in the collection of taxes, should, by proceedings such as these, harass the public, and for their own private gain defeat the intentions of Government and the just expectations of the people. When the reduction upon the assessed taxes took place in the last. Session of Parliament, it was viewed by all, and so intended to be, as a bonus upon the then collected amount of taxes it was understood that the calculations ,upon which the reduction was made, be. ing those upon which the taxes had pre. viously been collected, no addition to the assessments would be attempted, which would have the effect of rendtrintr the reduction void and fallacious. We are convinced that these proceedings origi- nate in the tax assessors and collectors; that finding their percentage less, they seek to increase it by this means,and that they are not instigated by th higher powers to raise an increased amount—but we are also convinced that if tie public press of the country does not notice the subject whilst yet in its infancy, similar attempts will be universally nude; the nrden of which will be borne principally by the commercial interests of tte coun- F try. The subject will be brought before i V"en«on Parliament, earty in the >eS8ion' though we think orders to is from these extortions will )e issued cn t ie fact is known by Gov^nimoiit* ArahPOt1W u°SS klS M<Vest £ Sloop We have the melancholy task to notice a report which reached ths city on Friday, of the loss of His Majesty', sloop Arab, on the north-west coast o\ Ireland, Our information is derived from a letter ™ M6 lV>'a.reIal|on of the Captain's Clerk, Mr. Harris, a native of tl<s cj y.— It states that Admiral Lord CoUjile had received an account of the hss of the Arab, on the 10tti or I I til, on the coast of the county Mayo, and tint all on board perished it was suppose; she was in chase of a smuggler— Cork Constitution During the year 1822, the tmig"rants from Great Britain and Ireland to the port of Quebec, amounted to ;Q 435, This year they have fallen sl0rt about h ree hundred of that number.

ITENDENCY OF CRAVATS TO PRODUCE…
TENDENCY OF CRAVATS TO PRODUCE APOPLEXY. THE cause of sanguineous apoplexy is the distension of the blood vessels of the brain to such a degree as (o compress it. The great vo- lume of the blood which is sent up into the head by the carotid arleries is returned by the jugular veins two of which are to near the skin, that they are discernible plainly to the eye. If pres- sure with the fliizer be made npon these velDs, the immediate consequence will be a redness and swelling of the face, ears, & which will abate on removal of the pressure this is to be account- ed for by the carotid arteries constantly sending by their pulsation, a column of blood upwards, while the veins, whose function is to carry bacif that blood, are stopped np- How far the use of cravats may be dansreroos in this way is simply defilled they are so in pro- portion to the picture which they give. The modern cravat or siock used by our fashionables is free from all this danger from its laxity but we still meet, as we walk ainiir, many of the Olil School who-se necks are harnessed with a round stiff tight and padded crava', bidding defiance alike to the sneers of fashion and the threats of apoplexy. We seldom see a fat elderly man that is not io this kind of pillory and it would seem that in proportion to his corpulency and shortness of neck, to increase the tightness and roundness of wadding through which he labours to breathe. When these men sat down to their evening bottle, they are tete-a ttle with death for every glass increases the pressure u).<tt) their external jugular veins by stimulus, which continues till the blood of the head is forced to return through the internal jugular veins alone while its impetus is nearly double what it was before dinner. We were passing through the gallery of the Louvre some years ago, w.hen a gourmand, who was contemplating in admiration the portrait of his legitimate Louis, fell rfowo in a fir. We were prompt in rendering him assistance, not (he least of which was the depriving his neck of a round and tightly tied cravat, which was torn in the hurry of removing it. His friend informed us that he had just stood up from a breakfast a la fourchette, and he had taken half a bottle of Campague exclusive of his macon. Approaching apoplexy was evident. However, when the cravat was removed and a few ounces of blood taken from the arm,(he gentleman was restored. We shall never forget the first sentence he uttered when he recovered. Ah Mon Dieu 1 vous avez dechire moo cravat! The ancients wore 00 -cravats nor do the greatest part of the world at this day. ADd it i. worthy of remark, that (hose nations that use it also indulge in wine and spirituous liquors no wonder then that we have frequent afntpiexies. We often hear of a man dying by intoxication but we seldom, if ever, hear that while under the influence of liquor, he fell down, with his head pressed to one side, by which not only the circu- lation was impeded, but also his breathing, through the pressure of his cravat. No this is not attended to yet it is well worthy of atten- tion. Why does Lord Byron wear no cravat ? It i. that his bust may look more classical- more like Milton, or Shakspeare ? We suspect his Lordship has stronger reasons. He knows that the operations of the mind may be impeded and deranged by pressure on the jugular veins, and the cravats cannot be worn without producing ocea. sional pressure on these blood-vessels. Farmer, the author of a little work on Head- aches, is of the same opinion, and chinks alto that cravats in many cases produce that disease. In this we agree with bim. Of all introductions in dress, the cravat is the worsl-horh unseemly and dangerous. It was first introduced to guard agaiust the sudden changes of climate; but why do not ladies use it ? They are nut more parti- cularly subject to cold for-its absence. As welt might we invent a covering for ihe face as the Deck-better we think for there exists no dan- ger from pressure on the face. The dandies of the day show symptoms of ca- shiering the cravat. We really did not suspect that genius to have been possessed of so much good sense and we recommend the more serious order of mankind to follow the example, as sooa as the cold weather disappears.-Medical Adviser.

A new half crown is at present coining io the Mint. The device is much superior to those is present circulation. But few of the double sove- reigns have been coined, as it has been discover- ed, that the wreath round the bead of his Ma- jesty is omitted. It is in contemplation to place the same device as the half crowns have, instead of St. George and the Dragon, on the future ceia. age of the double sovereigns. Captain Sabine arrived at Deptford in the Griper, on the 19th ult. from Spitzbergen. where he had been to ascertain the situaiion of the Pendulum. The Griper, during Capt. Sabine'a stay on the island, penetrated to 75. 20. E. and to SIN. Rein-deer were found in great num- bers at Spitzbergen, and killed by the crew the fat on some of them was four inches thick. A most astonishing circumstance occurred on some of the officers visiting and inspecting the tombs and graves, in which some Russigug had been buried for 85 years. When the lid or grave- stone was removed, the body appeared in a per- fect state, the flesh still remaining, and with a colour on the the country, with night-caps, foootg and stockings on.
