ago begged that her father would purchase her a few necessary articles to go back into service. Her application was treated with derision, her father declaring that such an unbeliever was not worthy to live; and he actually kept her for the last three days without victuals, the only sustenance she had during that time being the leaves of some lettuces, which she picked up in the garden behind the house. On Tuesday last, on remonstrating with her father for treating her so cruelly, and begging that he would act differently towards her, he kicked her out of the house, bawling out, "That is the punishment for an unbeliever.” Her father, she said, some time ago went to considerable expense in making up a most splendid red coat, richly embroidered with gold, and with letters worked in gold on the back of it, to this effect-" This coat is for the young Shiloh." This coat, she said, was given to Mrs. Browne, alias Mary Johanna, by her father, who, on presenting it, said, "What am I to do with this coat?" Mary Johanna's reply was, "Let it be given where the Lord's spirit dwells in perfection." "Then," said her father, placing the coat over her shoulders, "it dwelleth in thee." Mary Johanna then got up off her seat with young Shiloh's coat thrown over her shoulders, and marched out of the room. Complainant said, that she had since been told that this coat was now in pledge for liquor drank by this very woman, who was considered an object of adoration by those of her sect. Their particular days for devotion were on Saturdays. On Sundays they always work, and she was never permitted to enter the room where they con an gregated, because she was unbeliever. In reply to questions by the magistrate, the girl stated that she had frequently seen her father leave the bed-rooms of different women who lived in the house with him, early in the morning; and that she was convinced he treated them all as his wives. Holman declared that the greater part of his daughter's statement was false. With respect to his mode of worship, he submitted that had nothing to do with the question. The magistrate, having listened to him for a long time, said he must give the parish some security for the maintenance of his daughter. An arrangement was ultimately entered into. QUARANTINE AT NAPLES.— The following is a copy of the quarantine regulations established at Naples in consequence of the measure proposed in England for modifying the quarantine laws of this country: 1. All vessels arriving from Great Britain, or with a portion of cargoes shipped there and not landed at an intermediate port, must proceed at once to the lazaretto at Nesita, there to unload. 2. If the cargo consists wholly or in part of manufactures, such manufactures must perform 21 days' quarantine at the lazaretto of Nesita, and the vessel 14 days, which quarantine commences from the day the last package has been discharged. If the cargo consists wholly or in part of cotton yarn, the same must also be unloaded at Nesita; but the Board of Health has not yet decided upon the extent of quarantine, which will, however, be of longer duration than that on manufactures. Sugars and other unsusceptible goods must be equally discharged at Nesita, but may come round to Naples at once, provided there be no paper inside the package. 3. Vessels with entire cargoes of iron, or other metals, must also discharge at Nesita, but such cargoes may come to Naples forthwith; and the vessel's quarantine of 14 days will commence from the day of arrival at Naples, and not from that of final discharge, as in the case of manufactures and other susceptible goods. 4. The quarantine charges for the men unloading at Nesita are 15 ducats for every three hours. 5.

NEW UNIVERSITY.-About 120 gentlemen who have taken an interest in the formation of the London College or University, as sembled at the Crown and Anchor tavern. Mr. Brougham was in the chair, supported by lord John Russell, Mr. Abercromby, Mr.J. Smith, Mr. Hume, Mr. Hobhouse, Mr J. Williams, and some other members of parliament. Mr. Gurney, Dr. Birk VOL. LXVII. 26 5 0 8 8 0 ... 18 7 6 beck, and Mr. Thomas Campbell, were also present. Mr. Brougham explained that they had no idea of founding fellowships, or of conferring degrees, or of giving a theological education; that they wished only to combine the advantages of collegiate studies with the due domestic control of the children by their own parents; that the three great branches of G study which the college was intended to comprehend, were science, literature, and the arts; that for each of these the children were to pay only three guineas annually, in addition to one guinea general entrance money; that the professors were to have no sinecures, nor residences provided; nor were there to be any religious tests, or doctrinal forms, .which would oppose a barrier to the education of any sect among his majesty's subjects. He particularly dwelt on the advantages for medical studies, which the college was calculated to afford. The capital intended for the undertaking was estimated at 200,000l., and the mode of raising it was to be by transferable shares of 100l. each. A committee of thirty-five persons was then appointed to digest the plan. The following prospectus of the London University was soon afterwards extensively circulated : "The object of the institution is, to bring the means of a complete scientific and literary education home to the doors of the inhabitants of the metropolis, so that they may be enabled to educate their sons at a very moderate expense, and under their own immediate and constant superintendance. It is known that a young man cannot be maintained and instructed at Oxford or Cambridge under 2001. or 250l. a-year, while the expenses of many very far exceed this sum; and the vacations last about five months in the year. The whole expense of education at the London University will not exceed 25l. or 30l. a-year, including the sums paid to the general fund; and there will not be more than ten weeks of vacation in the year. A suitable piece of ground for the buildings and walks, and in a central situation, is now in treaty for; and it is expected that the structure will be completed in August, 1826, and the classes opened in October following. A fortnight's vacation will be allowed at Christmas and Easter, and six weeks from the middle of August to the end of September. The money being raised by shares and contributions, each holder of a 100l. share will receive interest on the same at a rate not exceeding four per cent, payable half-yearly, and be entitled to send one student to the university. The shares will be transferable by sale and bequest; and they will descend to the holders' representatives in cases of intestacy. The money due on them will be paid by instalments, as it may be required; but it is calculated that only two-thirds will be called for ; and the remaining 33 per cent will be considered as a fund of reserve, in case of any extension of the plan, or other unfavourable exigencies. No person can hold more than ten shares. Each contributor of 50l. will have all the privileges of a shareholder during his life, except that of receiving interest, and transferring his rights. The interest will be paid out of the revenues of the institution, and the yearly produce of the sums received from time to time beyond what is required for current expenses. Each student is to pay five guineas a-year to this general income, besides one guinea to the library, museum, and collection of maps, charts, drawings, and models. The rules of the establishment will be submitted to a general meeting of shareholders; but it is expected that the general opinion will be in favour of vesting the whole government of the institution in a chancellor and vice-chancellor, and 19 ordinary members of council, chosen by the shareholders by ballot, voting, if they please, by proxy, a certain number of the council to go out every year. It is also understood that the emolu ments of the professors will be made to depend on the fees received from students, with the addition of very moderate salaries." AUSTRALIA. Accounts have been received of the formation of a new settlement on that island. The Tamar frigate, captain Bremer, which had been despatched from Portsmouth early in last year, arrived at Port Jackson in August, and, after being refitted, sailed thence for the neighbourhood of Port Essington, accompanied by the Countess of Harcourt and the Lady Nelson colonial schooner, having on board stores of every description, with a detachment of soldiers, under captain Barlow, and a party of convicts. On reaching their destination, a landing was effected without any opposition; but, from a scarcity of water and other necessaries, it was deemed proper to select another spot a few miles distant. The place chosen is a beautiful level country, which can be easily cleared, with plenty of wood, and a river of excellent fresh water. The stock of sheep, pigs, ducks, &c., were landed, and culinary seeds of all descriptions set in a luxuriant soil, many of which began to appear at the date of the letters. A strong fort was erected, on which some of the guns belonging to the Tamar were mounted; and on the 21st of October (the anniversary of the victory off Trafalgar), the English colours were hoisted, and a salute fired, accompanied by three hearty cheers. The natives had assem bled to the number of 100, and endeavoured to oppose the necessary works carrying on. At one time, they made an attack by throwing their spears, notwithstanding every attempt at conciliation had been adopted, by means of presents, &c. Confident hopes were, however, entertained, that no further attempts would be made, as they had already felt the force of fire arms. The coasts on that part of the island were unknown until surveyed by captain P. P. King, in the Bathurst surveying vessel, a few years since; from whose report the new station has been selected, and will in time prove highly advantageous, as the voyage from Sydney can be accomplished without much difficulty. Captain Barlow was left in the command; and storehouses, with barracks for the soldiers, and residences for the officers, were in progress. 14. THE COINAGE. At the court at Carlton House,: Present, the king's most excellent majesty in council. Whereas there was this day read at the Board, a representation from the right honourable Thomas Wallace, master of his majesty's mint, dated the 29th of April last, in the words following, viz.
