the court on the day before, the 50th anniversary of his entering the army, and distributed numerous decorations to officers. He has created 12 Grand Crosses, 8 Commanders, and 11 Knights of the Order of the Guelphs. Prussia, Brunswick, and Mecklenburgh have had each their share in these royal favours. The promotions in the army were numerous. A deputation from the officers of all the regiments presented in their name an equestrian statue of his Majesty in silver, in testimony of their gratitude and attachment.

The project of a new constitution has been submitted to the Chambers. The composition of the Chambers is scarcely at all modified, so that it is, in fact, but a repetition of the constitution of 1819. The new constitution reserves to the King the management of the state pro perty and private domains, which were given up to the public revenue by the more recent reforms.

CHIVA.

The much talked of Russian expedition against Chiva has totally failed. The troops had not seen an enemy, except in the skirmishes which have already been mentioned; but notwithstanding the ex treme care with which this expedition was prepared and directed, it was impossible to withstand the inclemency of the climate. Storms and snow prevail in such a degree, that even the camp in which General Perowsky had taken refuge to wait for a change in the weather, was not tenable, and the whole expedition was obliged to be given up. What loss the troops have suffered is not known: but the greater part of the camels on which the expedition depended have perished. The general-in-chief required 1000 camels to be sent in all haste from Arenburg, in order to convey the sick and the baggage, and even the corps itself, back to that town.

INDIA.

The French accounts from Pondicherry contain numerous details of a dreadful hurricane and inundation of the sea on that coast at the beginning of December. The force of the wind was such as had never before been witnessed there, and the inroad of the sea was dreadful beyond description. Upwards of 10,000 corpses had been found, but many thousands more had, no doubt, been washed away. So many bodies lying unburied had caused a pestilence, and the condition of the survivors, who had lost

most of their property, was exceedingly distressing. The British authorities and settlers had shown the greatest kindness to the French sufferers; but the factory and the town of Yanaon, which alone had lost 1,500 inhabitants, could not recover from such a calamity for a great many years. The Government chest, and most of the public records, had been preserved. As instances of the extensive scale on which this great natural calamity acted, it is mentioned that at Talarivou, one house in which 400 persons had taken refuge, was blown down, and most of them killed; while at Mallavoram, a village on the English territory, only 19 were saved out of 2,000 inhabitants.

In consequence of a letter written by the chief of Koonoor, stating his intention, if the Russians were advancing, to join them, Sir Willoughby Cotton ordered a military force to attack the for.. tress of Peshoot, about 40 miles N.N.E. of Candahar, in which that chieftain had taken his position. Accordingly at daybreak on the 18th Jan. the attack was made by a force under the command of Lieut. Col. Orchard, C.B. Capt. Abbott and Lieut. Pigou succeeded, after two hours' firing, in battering down the outer gate; and they then made two attempts to blow up the inner gate, but from the heavy rain that fell, and the bad explosion did not take place. quality of the (Indian) gunpowder, the Col. Orchard then, as the fort is, from its position, almost unassailable, and a destructive fire was kept up by the garrison, withdrew his troops about half-past 11, A.M. The chief afterwards evacuated the fortress and fled to the hills, and the detachment took possession in the evening. The loss of the British was severe,-viz. 65 men killed and wounded: among the latter were Lieuts. Collinson, of the 37th, and Hicks, European Regiment, who are recovering.

AMERICA.

On the 11th Feb. the St. Louis Exchange at New Orleans was destroyed by fire. This Exchange, with its magnificent dome, cost 1,700,000 dollars, and it was under mortgage for 1,400,000 dollars. The Improvement Bank, to which the building belonged, has in circulation some 900,000 dollars in bills, and scarcely any specie on hand. The Orleans Insurance Company, and the Phoenix, of The Rotunda London, had small risks. was the most magnificent structure of the kind in the Union,

At the Spring Assizes several of the disturbers of the public peace have been overtaken by retributive justice. At York, on the 28th March, sentence was passed on the Chartists convicted of seditious conspiracy, riot, and using seditious language, at Sheffield, Bradford, Barnsley, &c. The Sheffield Chartist, Samuel Holberry, was sentenced to be imprisoned in the gaol of Northallerton for four years, and at the expiration of that period to be bound, himself in 50. and two sureties in 10. each, to keep the peace towards her Majesty's subjects; Thomas Booker, to be imprisoned for three years; Wm. Booker, his son, two years; James Duffy, three years; William Wells, one year; John Marshall, Thomas Penthorpe, and Joseph Bennison, otherwise Benson, two years; Wm. Martin, one year. The Bradford Chartists, Robert Peddie, Wm. Brooke, Thomas Drake, and Paul Holdsworth, to be imprisoned for three years. The Barnsley Chartists, Peter Hoye, John Crabtree, and William Ashton, to two years imprisonment. All are also to enter into recognizances for their future behaviour.

At the same Assizes, Mr. Feargus O'Connor was convicted of having published, on the 13th and 20th of July last, in the Northern Star newspaper, of which he was the editor and proprietor, seditious libels, inciting to insurrection, and to induce her Majesty's subjects to disobey the law, in order to lead to a violation of the public peace.-On the 30th March Vincent and Edwards were convicted at Monmouth of a conspiracy to effect great changes in the government by illegal means, and of unlawful assembly. Mr. Baron Gurney sentenced Vincent to be imprisoned for twelve months, and Edwards for fourteen; to give sureties for five years, themselves in 5007., and two in 1007. each. Both defendants are in custody, under a sentence at last assizes; this sentence will detain Vincent eight months, and Edwards thirteen, after the expiration of the former sentence. -On the 1st April, at Warwick, Brown, the Bull-ring orator, and "delegate" from Birmingham to the "National Convention," was convicted of sedition, and sentenced to 18 months' imprison ment. In the cases of Julian Harney and Henry Wilkes, whose trials had been postponed, no evidence was offered, it having been agreed that if, in the interim, they conducted themselves properly they should be acquitted.

March 23 and 24. The village of Fordington, adjoining Dorchester, was the scene

of two devastating fires, which were attended with very great destruction of property, particularly amongst the poor inhabitants. The first broke out in the chimney of a brewhouse, attached to the residence of Mr. Elliott, which soon extended to six other houses, covered with thatch; all of which were speedily consumed. That on the next day broke out in the chimney of a house occupied by Mr. Short, a carpenter before the flames could be subdued, 46 thatched houses caught fire; all of which were destroyed. These calamities rendered about 100 families, comprising more than 250 individuals, entirely homeless.

:

April 1. The ceremony of laying the first stone of a new wing to St. Thomas's Hospital was performed by Alderman Sir John Cowan, Bart., assisted by Abel Chapman, esq. Treasurer to the Hospital, and the Governors.

April 12. The Theatre Royal, Cork, was burned to the ground. The house is a complete skeleton, and the loss of property very great.

By the intended inclosure of Morecombe Bay, and the Duddon Sands, on the Lancashire coast, fifty-two thousand acres of land will be reclaimed, which will form two of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake district of eighty-three square miles. The sands, being composed almost entirely of calcareous matter, washed from the surrounding lime-stone, are capable of being formed into the most fertile soil for agriculture. The land proposed to be reclaimed will form an area of half the size of Rutlandshire; and calculating one individual for two acres, will accommodate a population of 26,000, being about half the number of the present population of the counties of Huntingdon and Westmorland, and 5000 more than that of Rutland. It would be about equal in population and extent to the adjacent district of Lousdale North, which is a peninsula lying between the two bays of Morecambe and the Duddon, on which stand the ancient ruins of Furness Abbey, and is also a rich agricultural and manufacturing district, abounding with slate, iron, and copper mines.

The New Postage.-The Lords of the Treasury have fixed the 6th of May for the day when the postage stamps are to come into use. The issue of the stamps will, in the first instance, begin in London, and be extended as speedily as practicable throughout the whole of the kingdom; but letters, properly stamped, posted in any part of the kingdom, will pass free.

The stamps will be purchaseable at

At

every post-office in London, and of all licensed vendors of stamps. Stamps of two prices will be issued -penny and twopenny. The penny stamps will be printed in black, the twopenny in blue ink. each side of the covers directions respecting the rates of postage, the prices of stamps, &c. are given. The prices of stamps are as follows:

At a Post-office, Labels 1d. and 2d. each. Covers 14d. and 24d. each.

At a Stamp-distributor's, as above, or as follows:

Half-reain, or 240 penny covers, 11. 2s. 4d., penny envelopes 17. 1s. 9d.

Quarter-ream, or 120 twopenny covers, 11. 1s. 4d., twopenny envelopes, ll. Is. Id. At the Stamp-offices in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, as above, or as follows:

Two reams, or 960 penny covers, 41. 7s. penny envelopes, 41. 5s.

One ream, or 480 twopenny covers, 47. 3s. 6d., twopenny envelopes, 41. 2s. 6d.

Covers may be had at these prices, either in sheets or cut ready for use. Envelopes in sheets only, and consequently not made up. No one, unless duly licensed, is authorised to sell postage stamps.

The penny stamp carries half an ounce (inland), the twopenny stamp one ounce. For weights exceeding one ounce use the proper number of labels, either alone or in combination with the stamps of the covers or envelopes.

Thus, it appears, that between the purchase of a single cover and of 960, there will be an allowance of about 14 per cent. The price for a dozen or more covers purchased of a licensed vendor will be left for competition. The covers and envelopes are printed on paper manufactured by Mr. John Dickinson, having .coloured lines inserted in the woof of the paper, differently disposed on the covers and the envelopes. The labels, or adhesive stamps, are printed on water-marked paper, each having the water-mark of a crown; and the sheet of labels, holding 240, has the word "postage" in each of the four borders. Certain combinations of letters of the alphabet are inserted in the two corners at the lower part of the labels; and as they are varied, in every one of 240 labels, the probabilities nearly amount to a certainty that no one having a less stock than 240 will have two stamps with the same lettering in his possession. There can be no doubt that these peculiarities afford a

very ample guarantee against forgery. The adhesive stamp has the advantage of portability and lightness. They may also be sent as payment for pence or trifling sums. The artists employed are Mulready, Wyon, Thompson, and Heath; and the Penny Post will spread models of beauty over the whole face of the country and amongst all classes of the people. Mr. Wyon's die, and Mr. Heath's plate is a head of the Queen. Mr. Mulready's design for a stamped cover represents Britannia in the act of dispatching four winged messengers. The figures on each side of her are groups emblematical of British commerce, and communication with all parts of the world. On the right are East Indians on elephants directing the embarkation of merchandise; next Arabs with camels laden; next Chinese; on the left, American Indians concluding a treaty, and negroes packing casks of sugar. The whole design occupies rather more than an inch in width along the face of an ordinary envelope. In what may be called the foreground on the one side, a young man is reading a letter to his mother, whose clasped hands express her emotion at its contents; on the other side is a group of three figures, each one eagerly pressing around to read, or at least to catch a sight of the welcome letter. The whole conception forcibly tells its story, and suggests emotions of gratitude at the universal blessings that flow from unfettering correspondence, which is but speech by means of written characters.

March 25. Trinity Church, Greenwich, which has been recently erected as a district church of the parish of St. Alphege, was consecrated by the Bishop of Rochester.

April 7. The Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol consecrated the new church at Brimscombe, in the parish of Minchinhampton, which has been built by subscription, aided by David Ricardo, esq. the patron of the parish, who has assigned it a district, and engaged to support a resident clergyman until the division takes place. It is built of stone and stone tiled, having nave, chancel, and tower, in the style of the 13th century, with painted windows and carved oak furniture, and will accommodate 560 persons, above one-fifth of the kneelings being free. Adjoining are school-rooms for 200 children. The situation is highly picturesque, on the side of a well-wooded bill, overlooking the valley towards Stroud.
