A Princely Presente—The Sultan of Turkey has directed a -splepdid brilliant necklace, composed en tirely of diamonds of the first water, to be immedi stet), , prepared as a present to her Majesty. Queen Victotia. It is intended to be a token of esteem for our ilef)ved sovereign, oho has been his Higlins's best friend in the hour of need. Lotd Auckland has resigned the Govemor-Gener• alshiti of Ind O. ,:; We have reason - to believe that Queen Adelaide, the Dutchess of Kent, and the Dutchess of Glouces ter are to he the godmothers of the Princess Royal, nd the Duke of Siixe Coburg. the King of the Bel• glans; and the Duke of Sqssex, the godfathers. It is not expected, ho-'cver, that , the christening will take place for some time. AN IlnrT.—lt is generally rumoured (says the Globe)• in the Clubs that amongst the honors and promotions which her Majesty will be advised to grant after the approaching settlement of the Eastern affaira, Viscount Palmerston will be raised to the dignity of Marquis. Amongst the officers who served on board the Charlotte, Sir R. Stopford's flag-ship, at the late siege of 'Acre, was one of the suns of Sir R. Peel,— The gallant youth, who ranks as ""arid," is under 'stood during the whole period of his short service to have forwarded to his father a faithful diary of all the events which had fallen under his notice. His narritivegof the affair at Acre is said to be peculiarly graphic. The Marquis of Clanricarde, theThitish Minister at the. Court of St. Petersburg, took his departure on Monday last for that capitol to resume his diploma tic flinetions. It is rumored that Lord Barham will be created Earl 'of Guisburough on the christening of the Prin cess Royal. .7'he Brighton Gazette states that it is the inten tion of Government to increase the naval force in the Mediterranean to twenty.five sail of the line. The London Times of the 18th has a long article about the sulphur dispute between Great Britian and Naples, from which it appears that the said dispute has not been thoroughly,adjusted, as every body sup puseil. An arbitration to France was agreed upon, to be sure, but in the mean time England and France have gut into a quarrel, and the Times appears to apprehend that an impartial judgment is hardly to be expected. Steps have been taken at last to secure to Black. burn and the surrounding district, the advantages of a Mil-way communication with the North Union and Manchester and Leeds lines. The Wien Traire.-LContrary to all expectations, the Cotton Trade, in all its various r,meficntiona, is looking up, and promises this season to yield a har vest to all who are engaged in it. The Churlists.—Recently_a procession of •the Chartists took place in the town of Newcastle , .f 6 the ptirpie of escorting into Newcw4le, hiessrs. li rue, OWen, and White, all of,w6m have been recently liberated, atter sufferiugiiarious terms of imprisonment.

IRELAND. Irish Manufactures.-1 be movement in favor of Irish manufactures is assuming a very important as pect. It is supported by men of all classes and con ditions—of all shades in politics—and all creeds in religion. At one meeting lately held, that of St. Mary's parish. Dublin, we find the Duke of . Lein stet.; the Earl of Claremont. Mr. O'Connell, the R. C. Archdeacon of Dublin, Professor Kane, and ahost of others, differing widely on other subjects, joining in unison on this point, and urging the necessity of supporting home manufactures. At another meet ing; held in the theatre on new year's eve, Professor Butt and Mr. O'Connell were the principal speakers, men whose opinions, both in politics and religion, are so vastly at variance. The effects of this union of apposing parties is evident in the tone of the speeches and the character of the resolutions, which are entirely free from any partizan feelings, either as regards their difference! among themselves, or their relations with England; The broad ground taken is, that a preference shciuld be given to articles man ufactured in Ireland, ha( no class should be expected to do so if the article offered is either inferior in qual ity; or at a higher price than similar goods that have been imported. Exclusive dealing is denounced by many of the speakers, who strongly urge that the claim to patronage should rest rather on the superi ..oritY of the productions than on undue preference. tither Matthew Is still making converts to the cause of temperance by thousands upon thousands. Counsellor Finlay - has made .a valuable present to the library of the Athlone Temperance Society. The niembers have sent an addreas of congratulation to the Queen. The merchants and traders of Galway, hava'sub scribed to present a piece of plate to Mr. John Reilly, late pro-collector of Customs for that port, now sta tioned in Cork. Store cattle stein great requestfe i r feeding through out the country, as grazier have on unusual large crop of turnips, and this circumstance enhances the price of the recent fans.

Dr. i Sl'Hale has forbid Father Matthew todistribute any more of his medals in Connaught. • I On Wednesday, the beautiful mansion of William D. Ferrer. Esq., at Bruckley'Park, which' has lately undergone many improvements, exhibited a mos t cheerful scene. About one hundred persons - —trades. men and labourers. sat down to a substantial dinner, given.by Mr. and Mrs. Ferrer, and family, who is. iced the hall when dinner was served, and were mast cordially greeted. In the evening they again joined the merry party, when, with other toasts, the health of Mr. and Mrs. Farrel, and Mr. John Fitrrer, were drunk with enthusiasm. The Biter Bit.—A short time ago, a Highlandmnn went to Perth with a quantity of whiskey, and of fered it for sale to an innkeeper ; hut, not being able to agree about the price, the publican. rather mali ciously, directed poor Donald to an exciseman, say ing he would buy it at any price. Donald went ac cordingly, without suspicion, and, knocking up the exciseman, told he had brought him a drop of choice whiskey. The exciseman rather surprised, asked him by whom he was bent ? which the other having told, he advised-Donald to go bail to the innkeeper, and give him the whiskey at any price rather than run risks. Donald accordingly went back and con cluded a bargain with the innkeeper on his own terfas; which he had scarcely done and got the mo ney snug in his pocket, when the exciseman appear ed and seized the whiskey, to the no small mortifi cation of the innkeeper, who fell into the snare he had laid for poor Donald.—,Scolch Paper. Theft by a Steam Engine.—A wiseacre, who had seen a paragraph going the rounds, stating that some knowing fellow had put a fourpenny on a rail road, which the steam engine had flattened out to the size of a sixpence, bethought himself that ho would try the experiment on o respectable scale.— On Tuesday last, therefore, he spread out about the length of himself of fourpenny pieces, at one of the crossings of the Glasgow and Ayrshire Railway, not very. far from home; and, with his bead leaping over the wall, anxiously awaiting the opprdach of the two o'clock train, that was to add a third to their value. But the best laid schemes o' men and mice gong ift o-jee." Up came the "smoky devil,", with a long tail, and...as the rails were waxy with the hoar frost, the four penny pieces stuck fast all round the wheels, and off sped the train taith the treasure, leaving the ..go ahead" . coiner in a 'state of bewildered disappointment.

As no applica tion had been made to the magistrates for permission to meet, the a-sembly was clearly illegal, and could have been dispersed by civil power ; but the magis trates having consulted together thought the best plan they could adopt would be to let the business pion, taking care to be in readiness to act in case, of emergency. The chair was to be taken at one o'clock. but it was nearly two before business began. The weather was intensely cold. When the business was opened there might hovel:teen 200, which num ber soon doubled ; however. before the close of the proceedings we think there was about 1000 to 1,200 although some of the actors in the scene thought there were 5,000 present: many came and stopped a very short time.

The explosion caused a cannier able portion of tLe timber supporting the roof to fall, together with an immense quantity of rubbish, and the poor man was buried beneath the ruins. A great number of neighbouring colliers set to work with eh possible speed, but nine hours elapsed before they succeeded in bringing the body to the mouth of the shaft, when it was found to be quite dead. Taro men were also seriously injured by the explosion. The air which ascended the shaft was so violent that it blew several of the men's hats from off their funks at the mouth of the pit, and ceased a ennoulaionlof theearth.sitoilai to that of an earthquake.

WALES. • The following (ketch, the scene of which is blid near Tallahasseealorida, explains how to outwit his honor, Judge ,Lyilch.. It is tioni the Augusta Mir ror.: Now, ow, of all p erothr men, perhaps John Rodgers had the greatest aversion to , sittin on a rail: He would rather have died than suffered such indignity ; aiul immediately on re;eiving this intelligence he resoNed that he would nn'., be caught .sleeping berry, sound. He then took another large drink, and, after his throat, exclaitt)ed in a a hining tone of voice: now, not agwoing to be served no such trial—Jndge Ly4b be banged. Well, you'd bef tee put out, then—raid the genii& man of tSe bat, t!is he sat by the bottle and popped the .pic' in the &awcr—Judge Lynch has said it: John sauntereiPout, crying and muttering to him self, I'll blow th6rt all to —, if they come a pro jectin' about thitchild. Ile then steppo into a state and purchased three pounds of powdeV 7 which he tied up in a silk pocket handkerchief un(ler his arm, walked into a confec tionaD, kept by ti?good old Frenchman, and purchas ed a 'few cigars, Llighted one of them, and commen ced smoking,-4iready the officers of the high Court of Judge Lynch -here in pursuit of him, and tamp he saw them gather round the door, he'began •to puff his cigar, an 4 to mutter curses against .the whole ,infernal of 'ern.' ' Yes, said he, ou come here, tryin' that are, and you'll git waked 'a . p worse ibon ever you did afore; blastation seize Our picters. You jest fool with this child, thro's all ; fund if I don't blow you to kingdom come, you'll see 4 I don't. The crowd, which bad assembled round the door, now gradually eir;:tered the room, and as they did' so John began to flinrish his cigar, and cry : Jest you toucll me ; if you lay your hands on 'me I'll send you wnrilin', if this here powder's gOod for anything. I dot j t care for myself—ferather be Wowed through the roof of this ere store than to be rid on a rail, a cilnfounded sight. This last specs had attracted the attention of the old Fienchman, *ho began to look very uneasy. Ha! what daCyou'ehall say blow off the roof of my house ? Lay hold_uf hign, said the Judge, who generally at tends th,-executi)an of his sentence in person ; lay holtl y of him, fell:Jws I - - Stand off? extiaimed John at the top of his voice, as he held the pi . iwder in one hand and the cigar in the other. Do ;you see this ere cigar ant! this ere powder 1 Well, ',iest lay hands on me. and bring 'eat together; dl.don't now, dad shame me. Mon dieu! mrm dteu ! exclaimed the old French man ; go out to house, Bair; begone wid your pito der and scgar ; ii.hat the dyable—will you blow up my lambert) , 1' • Well, let 'etOet me alone 'en ; I'll blow all hands up, and myself,oo, afore I'll be rid on a rail. Gather hint 1 , (, gentlemen, said the Judge; the sentence of the Hor must be executt - d. The crowd, which had now increased in num ber, , drew tradually around the besieged Rodgers, and the end of the rail was seen entering the door. Here goes, ! exclaimed Rodgers. drawing the cigar from his mouth, and applying at near to the handkerchief. i'here was a sudden rush to the door. and n'eonfusionof voices, crying nut—Stop ! stop ! Don't! don't! Arad above all of which might he heard the old irenvhanan, calling out, Muralaire ! murdaire I Well, said ROgers, as the crowd dispersed,' I'd lest as lives be killed as rid on ti I ti It you voO i two, tree, four times, to begone aid your powder niagazine and your cigar. Vill you leave my house,.Saire? But Rodgers could neither be persuaded not dr:v. en from his position against the wall, until the old man had prevailed on the Lynch party to withdraw several yards from the door. He then left the house, much to the relief of the old Frenchman ; but, ever as the crowd approached, he would threaten to apply the match. At one time they approached with more than usual determination, and when they had got quite near, one of them was heard to say : bring the rail ! You try it,-said John, and if you don't go into a hornet's nest, it ;II be because fire won't burn powder, now you mind The circle Wigan cautiously to close around him, but as John knkked the ashes from his cigar, at the same time producing a few sparks preparatory to touching the polder, he was again left alone. The individual who flail worried himself considerably in carrying the rail, in his sudden retreat. dashed it to the ground, exclaiming, u Non comatibk in statue combustibus /".:; abandoned the attempt. The rest of the posse eon imitated hist e x ample, leaving Rodgers Worn Or . ant. Thus Judge Lynch, for the first time, witnessed the utmost contempt of his authority, and most determined defiance of his power. - . The follnwinit morning found John Rodgers whet ter man ; and ftom that time forth he was never seen within the jurielction of Judge Lynch, of T--..., Florida. s.

See him, sitting in his little seven by nine shantee, neither chinked nor mudded,, with the door standing wide open at his back, and - the paneless window breezing away at the side of-his head. He is a regular case, brought on by too strong a devotion to field sports, to wit— 'conning and cat.tishing, and too great a propensity for the pleasures of the table—tiamely. the - eating of the aforesaid 'coon and catfish, qualified with new whiskey, a bottle of which he generally keeps by him, for reference in all cases of difficulty. • The daddy himself sits in state upon a four legged stool, in front of a smouldering fire of old wood, his upper extremities thrown forward towards the chimney, and the iaerior parts ;yea thrown back, to preserve the centre of gravity in the right place, pith two lank, cream-colored pewit, lean and sarcastic as the digits of John Randolph himself, protruded over the flame, after the plan of - Dr. Franklin's pointed con ductors, ever and anon ripening his lantern jaws in a gape that would have thrown John Cleves Spumes' into ecstacies, with the prospect of a realization' of his dreams of concentnc spheres and what might be ca lled a polar aperture. r Oh, Lordy now it comes !' says fie, as a chill breaks away from the lower regicm; somewhere near the upper surface of the fourrlegged stool; and streaks it like a cord of rattlerm9keS up bia back, dividing and flying in all directions, .o—o—o—hand me that ''re bottle, will ye.!.
