SICILY.

-

Debt to Britain recognized. - Palermo, Nor. 10.-The Parliament continues its sittings. It has already discussed several important questions, and passed, among others, the following Decree:

"The Parliament decrees, that it recognises as a national debt the loan negotiated with Great Britain by the Ministers the Spanish Manufactures.-" A Spaniard at Princes of Castelnovo and Bonano, for the Paris has undertaken to defend the ordi- sum which shall be left, after subtracting nance of Ferdinand VII. prohibiting the the lawful compensations acknowledged by importation of cotton goods into Spain. the liquidation which shall take place beHe states, that during the war, every day tween the Ministers of his Britannic Maor every night, English cotton manufac-jesty and those of his Sicilian Majesty, and tures were landed with the connivance of the result of which will be communicated the Custom-house Officers along an imto Parliament.

It would be like saying to her, "Corn is cheaper in Barbary; go and buy it there why should you take the trouble to cultivate it?"

TURKEY.

Turkish Oppressions Resisted.

Servia, Nov. 25.—During at least three months past, many private accounts have spoken of a new ferment, and collisions between the Servians and the Turks. The destructive flame of revenge burned in the hearts of some Turks, till in the course of a year, they had roused the last spark of

local tokens can be legally paid, or received after the 19th instant.

Revenue Increased.--The state of the Consolidated Fund and the War Taxes for the current quarter is particularly promising. The former has already produced 1,000,000. more than the corresponding quarter of last year; and the surplus of the War Taxes compared with the same period, amounts to about 900,000!.

Barracks sold.

The sale of Lewes Barracks finished on Friday last, under a spirit of competition that had gradually increased during the latter five or six days, to an advance of at least ten per cent. on lots similar to those that had been previously disposed of. The early purchasers, therefore, had to thank their promptitude for their good bargains. The stores and materials together fetched nearly 13,000. a sum which much exceeds the amount they were calculated at.

Military Regulation. — Officers commading regiments have been directed to report to the Commander in Chief the manner in which divine service is performed during the preceding month to their respective corps.

Corn Rent.-Attempts have been making, and not without some popularity, by means of a Corn Rent, to meet the variations of the times; it has been lately a good deal used in Devon, Cornwall, and part of Somerset.-The landlord and tenant having agreed that when wheat is at the average price of Ss. per bushel at the market, where the produce of that farm is sold, the annual rent shall be-say-S001.; then, as wheat may increase or decrease in price, the rent shall suffer a proportionate increase or diminution, taking the limit of 12s. as a maximum, and 6s. as a minimum, above or below which no alteration takes place in the rent, which thus vibrates between 2251. and 4501. The annual average to be struck by the regular and fair prices of the named market, taken four times every year.

Munificence..-The Right Hon. Lord Dudley and Ward has presented 2,000/. towards the erection of a new parish church for the town of Dudley.

Price of Porter.-We understand that the principal Brewers in London had a meeting lately, to consider the propriety of reducing the price of Porter, in consequence of the reduction in the price of hops, &c.; when it was determined, that Porter should be continued at its present

The contract price for supplying the three regiments of Foot Guards in London with prime butcher's meat is five-pence half-price, but improved in its quality. The penny per lb. publicans received notice to this effect.

French Oats, &c.-Lately, a cargo of French oats was brought into Newhaven harbour, and retailed at Lewes for twenty shillings per quarter. An immense quantity of French walnuts and eggs, have during the last week been imported.

The question had his having received any injury. been in a course of litigation for nearly 15 mouths. The ground of objection on the part of the City is, the Mansion-house being assessed upon an increased rental, making in the whole 1500l. per annum. The Lord Mayor refused to grant the warrant demanded: but said, he would recommend the proper authorities to pay the original assessment; and agreed, that At the late sittings, or statutes for hiring rate, the matter in dispute should be rewith respect to the increased amount of servants throughout the different parts offered to Mr. Serjeant Runnington. the northern counties, the rate of wages was lowered nearly one-fourth, in consequence of the present prices of corn, and from the necessity for smaller farmers to become their own foremen, and for those on farms of a greater extent, to perform their work with fewer servants. The wages of labourers was lowered in the same proportion.

Servants' wages lowered.

Steam Boat. Thursday, Dec. 15, a steamboat was put in motion on the canal near Limehouse. The Lord Mayor, &c. were on board. It is about 40 tons burthen, and will convey between 2 and 300 passengers. It proceeded a mile and returned, performing the distance in 16 minutes. Another is building on the river of 200 tons,

to be employed as a packet between London and Ramsgate.

Christian Nume when mutable.-It likewise appeared on the authority of Lord Coke, which the Counsel quoted, that it is held in common law, that though a man's Surname may be changed, his Christian name cannot, except at Confirmation: Baptismal names can then only be changed.

Duke of Orleans' State Carriage.-The splendid carriage just completed by Birch, in Queen-street, proves to be a state-car-published in the Church three several Sunriage for the Duke of Orleans. It was yesterday shewn to some select friends. It is a garter-blue ground, most brilliantly polished, richly ornamented, and gilded in the most superb manner. The Frenchment, the word Holiday is omitted. Royal Arms are supported by two Angels, finely painted, and unencumbered with clouds. There is also a profusion of French lilies, which are painted upright-deviating from the former custom of representing them in a leaning posture. The inside is lined with scarlet cloth; in the centre of which, on the tops, are the French Royal Arms, richly embroidered. This is considered a great improvement in a state-carriage, and has a very pleasing effect. The hammer-cloth is of a scarlet colour, formed in double festoons, similar to that of the state-carriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, beautifully ornamented, on each side, with silk fringe, and tassels, with the Royal Arms, richly embroidered, on blue satin. The carriage part is finely carved with elegant and appropriate devices, and ornamented to correspond with the body. The wheels are patent.

Religious Habits.-Dr. Poynter, previous to his departure for Rome, ordered the religious habits, worn in the convents of the London district to be exchanged for lay dresses.

Mr. Gandolphi has subsequently addressed a letter to the nuns, stating that no law of Great Britain prohibits ladies from wearing whatever dresses they prefer, fashionable or "unfashionable."

Former price of Holy Scripture.

A striking instance of the great benefit mankind has derived from the discovery of the Art of Printing :-In the year 1274, the price of a Bible, neatly written, was 301. an enormous sum in those days. In the same year, the erection of two arches of London Bridge cost but 251, of course 51. less than was paid at that time for a single copy of the Scriptures.
