ABSTRACT OF

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

HE Secretary to the SOCIETY of

of TRADE, has stated by a Circular to its Members thereof, that the persons undernamed; viz.

JOHN THOMAS, formerly a fringe maker, 8, George-street, Adelphi ;

THOMAS NEWSON, carpenter, Sheffieldstreet, Clare-market;

JOHN DAVIS, fringe maker, George-yard, Crown-street, Soho ;

are reported to that Society as improper to be proposed to be ballotted for as members thereof.

The Secretary also informs the members that bills for different sums, dated London, drawn in the firm of THOS. PROTHERO and Co. upon Messrs. THOS. BARRON and Co. merchants, Langbourn Chambers, Fenchurch-street, London; one accepted," payable at Messrs. GOSLING, SHARP, and Co. Bankers, London ;" and another, accepted, "payable at HARRIS, SANDERSON, and HARRIS, Lombard-street, London," have been Jately given in payment for goods; but that, on application to Messrs. GOSLINGS and SHARPE, and to Messrs. HARRIS, SANDERSON, and HARRIS, it is found that the acceptors have not any account or connexion with either of these houses.

Also, that a bill has come into the hands of a member of that society, dated Manchester, drawn in the name of WILLIAM BRIERLEY, in favour of Mr. JOHN RIDGWAY, upon Mr. JOHN BAILEY, No. 4, Salter's Hall Court, London; and accepted, payable at ROGERS, TOWGOOD, and Co, and indorsed JOHN RIDGWAY, with other names. But, on its being presented at ROGERS and Co.'s it is found that they know nothing of the acceptor; and, on enquiry at No. 4, Salter's Hall-court, no such person is resident there; but the servant girl says a great many enquiries of the same nature are daily being made.

And the secretary also states, that RienARD ANDERTON, mentioned in August, 1817; and the Rev. THOS. STRETTON, mentioned in May last, have lately heen both met in London by one of the committee. THE KING'S HEALTH.

"Windsor Castle, Sept. 5. His Majesty has been exceedingly quiet and comfortable through the last month, but without any alteration in the state of bis disorder.

"H. Halford, "M. Baillie, "W. Heberden, "J. Willis, "R. Willis."

SEPT. 5. Her Majesty, we regret to state, has been gradually relapsing ever since Wednesday, the 2d of September; and since Sunday, she has experienced a

recurrence of all the most distressing sym toms of her complaint. Since her relapse, the Queen has reiterated her desire to be at Windsor, and a number of contrivance have been thought of to render her removal practicable. Among others, a kind of ea chair, upon very light springs, placed within a barouche, from which the seats had bees taken out, was sent down to Kew, last week; but the body of the carriage was not sufficiently commodious to allow of the necessary recumbent position of the chair: and, we understand, that her Majesty's old landan is to be prepared upon the same principle. Sir Henry Halford, Sir Francis Milman, and Mr. Keate, have been in almost continual attendance upon her Majesty.

The following are the official bulletins from the Queen's physicians at Kew, respecting her Majesty's health :

:

Sept. 3. "The Queen has bad a refreshing sleep during the night, but still continues indisposed. (Signed)

H. Halford, "F. Millman."

Sept. 4. "The Queen continues much in the same state as yesterday, although her Majesty's night has been but an indifferent (Signed as above.) Sept. 5. "Her Majesty has not had good night, and continues much the same.” (Signed as above.)

Sept. 6. "The Queen continued very ill throughout the whole of yesterday, but her Majesty has had a good night, and is a little better this morning."

(Signed as above.) Sept. 7. "Her Majesty was better throughout the whole of yesterday, and has had a good night."

(Signed as above.)

Sept. 8. "Her Majesty had but little sleep in the fore part of the night, but continues much the same as yesterday."

(Signed as above.) Sept. 9. "The Queen has passed a good night, and is a little better this morning." (Signed as above.)

Sept. 10. "Her Majesty has passed a good night, but remains nearly in the same state as yesterday.”

(Signed as above.) Sept. 11. "There is no material alteration in the state of the Queen's health since yesterday, although her Majesty has had some good sleep in the last night."

(Signed as above.) Sept. 12. "The Queen has had an indifferent night, and her Majesty remains much indisposed, but without any material alteration in her symptoms."

dip 84. 30. which led them to conclude that they were approaching very nearly to the Magnetic Pole. It had been perfectly calm, and the sea as smooth as glass for three or four days, and the current drifted them to the South-eastward, which raised their hopes of an open passage round the point of America, from which quarter it appeared to proceed. All the way up the middle of Davis's Strait they skirted an unbroken field of ice on the left, but as they proceeded it became thinner and apparently rotten, and they were sanguine that the moment the breeze sprung up the ice to the westward would open them a passage, and allow them to reach the northern shores of America. The utmost harmony prevailed among the Officers and every part of the ship's company, and all were in perfect health. Such is the substance of the accounts which we have been able to learn. There are abundance of private letters to the friends and relations of those who have embarked in this most important and interesting enterprize.

Au order from the Dutch government to prohibit the exportation of potatoes from Holland, reached the Custom-house at Rotterdam on the 4th instant.

Letters have been received from Surinam of the end of July, which state, that a fever prevailed there, which was so malignant in its nature, that it carried off the individual attacked by it in four or five hours.

Advices from Spain inform us that several thousand troops are to be sent to the Floridas and South America with all possible expedition, a sufficient number of Spanish vessels having at length been procured for that purpose. The Russian men of war, it is now found, are not seaworthy for so long a voyage.

An article from Madrid states, that a very long royal schedule had been issued, for the purpose of dividing the public debt of Spain into two portions; one of which is to bear an interest of three per cent, and the other to produce no interest; and of levying additional taxes upon letters of nobility, carriages, servants, &c. in order to defray the amount of interest thus charged.

Letters from Bordeaux, dated the 1st inst. mention a rise in the price of grain of almost every description throughout Guyenne, and several agricultural districts of Languedoc, occasioned by the very large purchases made on account of foreign speculators. Some rain had lately fallen in the vicinity of Bordeaux, which had been partially useful, but the great evil of the long drought was past remedy, and the owners of the vineyards will reap a very poor harvest, comparatively with what they expected, the grape having been in several quarters literally burnt up.

11. At Somerset House, in his 82d year, James Bindley, Esq. he held the situation of Commissioner of Stamps upwards of half a century, and his loss is lamented by his brethren with a sincerity which bears the truest of all testimony to his worth. His reading was various and extensive; his memory, which was to an extraordinary degree retentive, he preserved to the last with a vigour which kept all the acquired information of his life in readiness whenever he wished to resort to it, either to aid his own judgment or to inform or correct the judgment of others. His acquaintance with books is best evinced by the very valuable library which he has left behind. No collector of prints and portraits in Europe, is

supposed to possess portfolios filled with so rare an assemblage in this branch of art. In medals also, his cabinet contains specimens of the most curious and exquisite productions; his taste was without pedantry, and his knowledge without ostentation. To a most upright, honourable, and mauly mind, he united a mildness of disposition almost feminine. Nature had mixed up no barsh ingredients in his character. To him may be truly applied, (and no praise can raise his name higher,) what Burke said of Mr. Fox, "He was a man born to be loved."
