A writer in the Monthly Magazine for January, in making a calculation of the expense of the English government, since the time of William the Conqueror, concludes thus:

"In the reign of 31 kings, and in a period of 694 years, the British nation had spent 795,000,0007. sterling, being somewhat more than one million a year. In the single reign of his late majesty (George III.) during a period of only 59 years, the nation has spent the incredible sum of 2,357,000,000, being three times the value of the kingdom, and it Sec. 12.

and a Scottish yard across his shoulders.

[The Scotchman's blood runs swiftly through his veins, and the love of country seems to flow from his heart to nerve his arm, when the name of Wallace is mentioned-yet he generally "boos" to the power that governs, as if he thought it illegitimate to oppose, even in thought, the senseless family that has usurped the throne. If there is "a divine right” in kings, George Guelph the 4th, ought no more to possess the throne of England than Teague O'Ragan who lives in the wilds of Connaught, or the son of general Tecumseh, who may be resident somewhere on the shores of the American lakes. To this general remark, however, there are many honorable exceptions--there are Scotchmen that are indeed "ornaments of human nature."

At the court of King's Bench, Jan. 19, Mrs. Jane Carlisle was found guilty of a libel, in approving the intentions of the Cato-street conspirators.[This is really cruel-because the whole conspiracy was got up and patronized by the ministry.]

"Non descripts.". We had many descriptions of our non-descript frigates, during the late war!!! At times, they were "fir built" and to be swept from the sea directly, before you could say "Jack Robinson:" at others, they were the most queer things that could be thought of—"74's in disguise," that, like witches on broom-sticks, went whither they would. Latterly, many vessels have been built after their models, and we notice the launching of a frigate at Deptford, that measures 1,476 tons, whose beam is only two inches less than that of a 74, and to carry sixty guns.

The time of 400 of the Swiss guards having expired, nothing could induce them to renew their engagement. They sighed for their native mountains.

On the complaint of certain manufacturers at Louviers, the court of correctional police fined certain dealers in cloth at Paris 10,000 francs for having fraudulently made and sold cloths falsely marked with the name of Louviers. The court royal of appeals confirmed the principles of the decision of the court of correctional police, but reduced the fine to 8000 francs, and ordered one hundred copies of the decree on the appeal, containing the names of the persons concerned, to be placarded in various places, and ordered the costs to be paid by the parties convicted.

Exceedingly important! A special messenger has arrived in Paris from Palestine, with a cargo of water from the river Jordon, which he was sent to fetch for the purpose of baptizing the young duc de Bordeaux!!!

SPAIN.

TWO SICILIES.

The army of Naples, in three grand divisions, is stationed on the frontier towards the Austrian forces, the whole under the command of general Pepe.

Vienna, December 30. However the negociations with the king of Naples may turn out, it is affirmed by some persons, that at all events our Austrian army of observation will occupy the fortresses of the kingdom of Naples for five or six years. The northern powers, it is added, are perfectly agreed on this measure, which is deemed necessary to the security of all Italy.”

SWITZERLAND.

The government of the Grisons has just addressed to the districts a circular, dictated by the purest and most enlightened patriotism, to exhort them to attend without delay to all the branches of military organization. The urgency of the case is frankly and confidently dwelt upon. The circular terminates thus-"Be ready at the moment when you shall be called to cover the frontiers of your country: she is, indeed, recognized as neuter, but her arms and courage are, nevertheless, to cause her dis-independence and neutrality to be respected. The times are threatening, and God only can know, whether the moment at which this appeal will be made to you, be near or distant."

Thirty deputies to the cortes from Mexico, have arrived at Cadiz. They are said to be persons tinguished for the liberality of their opinions. The king is to be crowned on the 18th of May.

Joseph Alvarez Toledo, well known for his treachery, has been deprived of the pension which he received from the king of Spain, on a presentation of the cortes. The king, in his publication of this matter, calls him "ever incorrigible in the perfidious and turbulent conduct which has earned him a title of infamy."

The frigate Constitutione has arrived at Cadiz from Havana, with four millions of dollars. The new tariff, which prohibits most articles of foreign produce or manufacture, has gone into operation.

A fleet has arrived at Havana, on its way to Cadiz, from Vera Cruz, reported to have on board from four to ten millions of dollars. From the frequent notices of such things, we should suppose that the Mexican mines are fully worked again.

Mr. Kean has played at Boston with wonderful success. The rage to see him was so great that places in the theatre were sold at auction, and the premiums which they produced over the usual price of admission, were given to charitable institutions, such as the hospital, the dispensary, &c. &c. He appears to have performed there 16 nights in all,

and, though this plan of disposing of the tickets was not thought of until the contests to obtain them had, for several nights, produced great confusion, the amount of premiums received was $3005 and 75 cents! In return for this mania, which however was happily directed, Mr. Kean has dubbed Boston as the literary emporium of the new world," for which some of the good people thereof seem very much obliged to him.

Pensioners. The total number of revolutionary pensioners continued on the U. S. list, under the act of May 1, 1820, is 8,510.

The terms of the agreement we understand to be
these. Maine is to pay Massachusetts $150,000, to
release to her $30,000 which is due to us for as-
suming her obligations to the Indians, and our
claim to a balance due us from the treasury of 10,000
dollars. The debt of $150,000 is to bear interest at
5 per cent. and to be payable in 40 years, but may
be reimbursed at any earlier period at the pleasure
of the State. Three months are allowed the legis-
latures of the two states to ratify the agreement.-
Such are, we understand, in substance, the terms
on which she agrees to release to us all her interests
in the lands.

Rhode Island. The following will appear as something very strange to many of our readers: but the curious fact exists, that Rhode Island has not a "written" constitution. She is governed by an old charter granted by Charles II. of England, and a variety of customs which the altered state of things rendered necessary. It may, however, be observed that the royal charter was a very liberal one.

"The legislature of the state of Rhode Island have passed an act, without opposition or debate, authorizing the people to declare by their vote at the next freemen's meeting, whether it is expedient that the general assembly, at their May session, proceed to enact a law providing for the choice of delegates to meet in convention for the purpose of forming a written constitution for the

state."

Savannah. Mr. Charlton, late mayor of this city, having resigned his office on being appointed a judge, was presented with the thanks of the corporation in the most handsome manner, and invited to a public dinner given by the most respectable citizens of the place. He well deserved these distinctions.

New Convent. The Augusta, Geo. Herald states, that in consequence of the "energetic discourses" of the Roman Catholic bishop in that place, a new convent is about to be established there, and that young men and women from all parts of the union are candidates for this desirable state of celibacy. "Transit duty." The legislature of Delaware have passed a law imposing a tax upon persons arriving within that sovereignty, in stage or steam boat, by land or water, of twenty-five cents each, to assist in erecting a college at the village of Newark, and to eke out the funds of the state. This law has caused much excitement in the upper part of the state, Illinois. A correspondent states that the legislawherein its operation will chiefly be felt; and seve-ture of Illinois have spent one fourth of their time ral meetings have been had about it, as well as on in debating on a loan office, in the shape of a bank, account of a tax upon store-keepers; at which the to emit 250,000 dollars in paper, without a cent of people have agreed "to unite in every legal mode capital.

Virginia banks. Statements of the affairs of the Bank of the Valley, and of the North-Western bank of Virginia, are published, by which they are shewn to be in excellent condition.

The slave trade. The Pheasant, captain Kelly, lately captured on the coast of Africa, a small Porfuguese schooner of only 11 tons, with 71 slaves on board, 34 of whom were women, crowded into a space 8 feet 4 inches long, 4 feet 8 inches broad, and 2 feet 7 inches high! They were all shackled together with irons, and when released could hardly stand on their legs from cramp and starvation!

Deaf and dumb. We have accounts of several successful cures of the deaf and dumb in France, by making an opening to the tympanum. An instrument is said to be contrived by which the operation may be safely performed in three minutes! Those restored to hearing are very susceptible of the smallest sounds.
