Some old charters, found a few years ago, brought to light the rights of the Petersfield people, which they had so long been deprived of. Yorltshire. Election Bill Lord Milton's Bill for facilitating the making up of the poll on contested elections for the county of York," proposes to enact That if in case the election for knigbts of the shire be not determined upon the view, with the consent of the freeholders present, but that a poll shall be required, such poll shall be taken at the market towns of Wakefield, Beverley," and Northallerton, and at the castle of York respectively, and be commenced in each- of the said places on the day on which' such poll shall be demanded, or on the next day but one at the farthest, unless that should happen to be Sunday. The she- riff is to appoint vice-sherifis to sit at Wakefield, and Northallerton, while, himself or under-sheriff presides at York.

The following is an extract frxJm a letter received at Liverpool on Monday, frdmr St. Jagri de Chili, dated February, 26, 1821 i--u We have just' received accounts from the army, of General San Martin, that they have, been to fall back from before Lima to Hauacha, which will retard for a length of time the fall so generally expected here; in fact, a.

general gloom prevails here in consequence. The Ospreyi'a large vessel from Glasgow, has returned to Valparaiso from the coast of Peru, from whence she has returned without being able to dispose of a single' package. The immense quantity bf goods arrived here from London, Liverpool, Buenos Ayres -Rio de Janeiro, India and China, aud the seven vessels you mention from Liverpool, will completely inundate this market, if Lima, or we should say, all Peru; does not open. The Andromache frigate has not yet returned down the coast; the Viceroy of Pern would notation her to enter the port: having Lady Cochrane on board, was presumed to be the obstacle. "We are daily expecting several "Vessels from the new discovered land, to the south of Cape Horn, which left here to fish for.

seals. Several of those who left here early, are expected to have done well, and we, hope will afford something for a return cargo, as bills there are none, and dollars will not be obtained until the opening of Peru, which seems now very uncertain." The American papers state, that the newiy-dis-covered lands in the Antarctic Ocean, which have been denominated New South Iceland, lie in about 62. 30. S. latitude, and 63.

5. W. longitude. The American navigators give a Very discouraging description of those regions: but we know that Ame tn taking the population lists last truck, in Edinburgh one of the high constables founds in Cell's VVynd, an oW Irishwoman, aged 1,04, who still continues to earn her subsistence by apiuuing.

The fisherman, 'in 'his defence, complained that the'water'in the Thames had been rendered so unwholesome by' the continual discharge of the poisonous gas matter' into it, that but few fish could live in it, and.the, fishing had been So unprofitable for some time ipast, as to' compel the lishermen to have recourse to unlawful nets to avoid utter starvation. The fish in the river has been gradually decreasing for some but now the increased discharge of gas water in the river promises to drive the fish out of it entirely. The Lord Mayor expressed his astonishment at this" as the Gas Company had been indicted at the sessions, and the nuisance had been promised to be abated but he doubted whether the poisonous water discharged from th6 gasometer could contaminate th ri and strong parties of soldiers are posted between them and us.

We have much pleasure in stating that the Sound Sjutics on cotton yam have been reduced, by an edict fipm the King of Denmark, from 30 stivers to 1 8 stivers per 501b weight. It may not be generally known, that some weeks ago the Chamber of Com jncrce of "this town presented a memorial on this subjectto jjiis Majesty's Government, which received their immediate attention and the favorable change which has taken place may probably be attributed to the representation then made by the Chamber.

The duty hitherto levied we believe, been no less than 3 percent on the present value of cotton yarn which exceeded, in a very great degree, what has been levied on any other article. Since our lastj advices have been received from Savannah, of the 14th May. Cottons had again advanced. Uplands had been, gold.atJ5 and 16 cents of good quality, for the French markets. Sea islands also were full 3 cents per lb.

higher. Freights were 7-8ths per lb. and bills at 7 to 7 premium. Our jflacei this week have been very numerously attended; we believe we may say more numerously than on -any former season. The very favourable state of the'weather, and the present comfortable Icircumstarices of the labouring classes, which have enabled them not merelj' to spare time for attendance, but also to appear in better clothes, have rendered the festivities of the week very interesting.

The baneful effects of the poisonous water wer. felt as far as Brentford up the river, and beyond Roth-erhithc down it; biit the extent of thee al was incalculable, as the fish that entered the contaminated water were destroyed often by whole shoals.

The succession of spiritualities and temporalities, we should be afraid, is rather too proximate and we should suppose that the contemplation of the closing scene, as in the case of a condemned criminal, would be to disturb the intermediate devotions. Considering, however, the attractions of this species of worship, we are rather surprised that the devotees are not more numerous.

is expected 'that there will be a batch of new Peers created on the ceremonial of the coronation. Besides the advancement of several Peers to higher titles, we have heard' the names of Mr. Forrester, Sir James Saumare'z, Sir' Watkin Williams and two or three Irish Peers to be made British; Among the curious claims made to the Court of Claims, is one from Messrs. Godfrey and Cooke, chemists in Southampton-street, Covent-Garden, to supply the oil with which to anoint the King at the ceremonial of his. Coronation.

A watch has been made at, Coventry, as a present to the Queen, and was be presented to her Majesty on Thursday. The following is a description of it: The case is double bottom, with embossed edge, and consists of line gold.

The dial is also of fine gold, and represents the Royal Arms engraved in the centre, encircling the garter; the motto of the evu. bf. to him that evii. tiiisks," and that of the arms, "ood and my incur," beini? expressed iu English. It has a rich friezed ground, aud the figures are of the Roman character.

The hands are of the serpent -pattern, with steel points. The movement is bf the lever description, with a detached escapement; the acting part of the escapement formed of rubies. The movement is principally of sold, the upper plate representing the Crown: and the works are jewelled throughout with rubies, having diamond ends. The watch is so constructed as to display the whole of the works through a glass. The back of the case has the following inscription Presented to her i M.UESTV QUEKN CAROLINE, as a Murk of their Esteem for her Character nnd Admiration of Ker Conduct, under unmerited Persecution, by the INHABITANTS of the City and County of the City of COVENTRY, 1821.

Involuntary Loyalty. On Tuesday took place, at the Old London Tavern, the anniversary dinner of the National School -Society. The Duke of York was in the chair, supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London and Llandaff, Sir Claudius, Hunter, Sir Chas Flower The health of the King was given and drunk with appropriate warmth; and the plaudits had scarcely, ceased when the toast-master announced, in a loud voice, as. the next health, "the Queen and the rest of theRoyal Family." Who shall describe the mosfc admired disorder" which ensued Horror sat on almost every face exclamations of horror burst fron almost every tongue. At length a grave man (Mr.

Oliver Hatch) arose to still the troubled waves. He could imagine no better mode of repairing the cruel outrage just committed on their ears by so dreadful a sound as the Queen, than by proposing that the company should again drink siderable and sometimes of serious nc- world for the accuracy of-their statements. At a sale of stray articles at the Police Office, Glasgow," on Saturday, a radical pike was exposed and knocked down a bargain. The it would be a good article for the Cae of Good Hope. A man aged seventy-eight, has married, at Bruges, a damsel of seventy-four, and the clergyman who united them was eighty-eight.

A beggar was brought before Mr. Conant, at Marlborough-'street police-office, last week, by a person belonging' to the Mendicity Society, who found upon him three shillings, and some which he acknowledged he had begged in the course of the day. The Magistrate asked him if he did not think it a good day's when the fellow answered with great composure," pretty fairish, considering the times." Bow-street. George Mason, a pick-pocket, was brought up for a second examination, charged with robbing Hillett, Esq. of a gold watch, in the pit-passage of Drury-lane Theatre, a few nights ago.

The property not having been found, and Mr. Hillet not being able to swear distinctly to the fact, the Magistrate expressed his fear that he must discharge him for want of sufficient evidence. A gentleman present said, that he himself had been robbed by the prisoner some' time ago in Co-vent-garden, of a pocket-book, containing 200Z. iu Bank notes. Prisoner.

The water of the description which was emptied into the river from the docks, had driven away many species of fish that formerly visited the river periodically. The salmon was some time since caught in great abundance bnt scarcely any now came up the river; and during the last year only one salmon bad been caught. The shad and smelt, which were but a short time since the source of great profit, had almost entirely departed; and many formerly supported themselves arid families on the river, were: driven away to seek their livelihood or to enter mto other occupations.

Our readers cannot yet have forgotten the the night of the 7th of May; and it is almost needless, to add, that the storm which proved so fearful on land was felt as still more tremendous on the open ocean. After losing every thing on deck, together with her boat, and sustaining other damage, the Wellington reached Liverpool on the following day; and the master, in describing one of the most terrible gales he had ever encountered, appeared to take it for granted that the General Goldie must have gone to the bottom. Still, however, there was hope; but from the circumstance of a mutilated boat and several firkins of butter having been ashore at Formby (the latter bearing the same brand-mark as those shipped on board the General Goldie), the owners have now made up their minds as to the late of their vessel. Tire crew consisted of a master and four men, not one of whom, it believed, has survived to tell the mournful tale. Before sailing to Waterford the General Goldie had touched at Glasgow, where the master took on board his wife, who had never been at sea before, and who, we regret to say, to-, gether with an infant at the breast, must have shared the fate of her unfortunte husband.

EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AFRICA. We have been favoured with the following letter, written by a person emigrated from this town at the beginning, of last year, and is now settled near Algoa Bay.

The suggestion was complied with; but the storm was not yet quelled, till Sir Charles Flowcrhit upon the happy expedient of turning the toast-master out of the room.

The luckless wight was forthwith ejected, aud tranquillity was restored; but the mirth of the evening was gone, and each guest seemed to look upon the rest with suspicion, as if inquiring which of you has done this?" It may be proper to add that the toast-master protests he uttered nothing that was not set down for him. Perhaps chance, who likes now and then to play an amusing trick, had put into his hand a list of toasts intended for another occasion. The blunder of the toast-master in giving the health of the Queen yesterday at the Loudon Tavern, reminds us of the toast-master at the Mansion-house, a few years since, at a public dinner," when General Andreossi and a large party were present. The government of France at that time was under the three Consuls. After dinner the usual toasts The King and the Royal Family," being disposed of, the toast-master was directed to give the three Consuls, which he did by giving out, with an audible voice, the Three per Cent'Con-sols." The mirth occasioned by this mistake may be bettor conceived than described.

The toast-master, however was suffered to retain his situation. Star. Fatal Duel. A duel with pistols was fought on Wednesday week, hear Paris, between an omcer of the Cuirassiers and a silk merchant. A dispute at the theatre was the cause.

It appears that on his return to Europe, lie took the opportunity of his first visit to Italy, to present to this (his native) city, two lion-headed statues of granite, part of the fruits of his enterprising and successful researches: they have been placed in the great saloon of the Palazzo della Justizin.

The inhabitants of Padua, proud of the distinction which their fellow-citizen has so justly obtained, have commemorated the gift as well as the discoveries of the traveller.

The month of May, just ended has been one of the coldest which has occurred for a great number of years.

The average of the last month was no more than 54.

Out of the Frying-pan into the Fire. On Friday week as a young woman of the name of Kay, living in the house of Mr. Brown, of Ganstead, near Hull, was going in the morning about eight oVlock to gather eggs, as usual, her gown caught hold of a man-trap and, in rushing forward to escape the trap, she came in contact with the wire of a spring gun, which went off, and lodged the contents in her thigh, upwards of forty hot corns.

The wife of the Lord Chancellor Hardwicke, having ordered the bailiff to procure a sow of a particular size and breed, and which he probably had long endeavoured to do without success, the man burst iuto the dinin.sr-room one day, when it was filled with visitors of the highest "class, and exclaimed; with the most cxultiri glee, I have been game, several wild horses, and three ostriches but was too much engaged with my alarminj situation to pay much attention to them, Proceeding ou, I saw the track pf an elephant, which, in his country, is very mischievous; and, in another place, the marks of a lion's foot. To add to my difficulties, night came on, and no signs of a habitation, or of any person near.

I still went on, and when the moon rose, I sew some horses, which I attempted to drive before me, thinking they. go towards home; but I was disappointed, all ran different ways. 1 kept on my way for about an hour, when 1 fortunately met with a cow-track, which soon conducted me to a Dutch farm house.

It is a-well-known fact, that the cuckoo u-sver hatches its own young, but deposits a solitary for incubation in the nest of. another bird. It is a common opiraon, that every generation of man is less iu stature, as well as shorter lived than that which preceded it; and it seems quite settled that every thing grows less and less, except taxes and straw bonnets.
