NEWSPAPERS.

H.WHEATLEY begs to acquaint his Friends and the Public, that he still continues to forward LONDON NEWSPAPERS to any part of the Kingdom. Cards having been distributed at Andover, calculated to make an impression, that H.W. had declined the News Business in favor of H. and W. SMITH, he now takes this opportunity of positively contradicting such statement.- LONDON, Feb.4, 1825.




EDWARD DEAN, MILLER, MALTSTER, CORN, and SALT DEALER, begs leave to inform his friends and the public in general, that he has just received a Cargo of good WHITE SALT, which he is now selling at the low price of Two Shillings and Two-pence per Bushel : and every Article in the above Trades, of the best quality and low prices, at his old established Warehouses, South-street, WAREHAM, Dorset.

Mr.R.Vining, nephew of the late R.Vining, Esq. has contracted for rebuilding the Esplanade Wall, and from the well-known ability and activity of Mr.Vining, we have no doubt of its being completed in a style that will gain him increased credit.

Portsmouth, Feb. 4.- As the sloop Mary, Thos.Hiscock, bound from London to Poole, was coming into this port, she struck the ground near the Isle of Wight, and was so much damaged, that she with difficulty got into the harbour, where she was only prevented from sinking by being lashed to two other vessels, while they got out the cargo, which is very much damaged.




Winchester,
Saturday, Feb.5.

In compliance with a Requisition most numerously and respectably signed, our much respected mayor, Giles King Lyford, Esq. convened a meeting of the inhabitant householders within this city and suburbs, on Thursday last, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the assessed taxes, especially those on windows and inhabited houses. The mayor and aldermen and a numerous body of inhabitants met, and the mayor being called to the chair, Mr. R. H. Lloyd addressed the meeting; he alluded to the general burden of the assessed taxes and the universal wish that they should be repealed, and moved some resolutions which will be seen in all advertisement. Mr John Young seconded the motion, and said he thought they might depend on the strenuous support of both their representatives to support the measures that day adopted. As for Mr.Paulet Mildmay, no one could doubt his zealous co-operation (applause); and when they called to mind the professions of their other member, Sir Edward Hyde East, who had particularly recommended this second application to Parliament, they might be very sure also of the Hon. Baronet's support (applause.)
After a short discussion, the following petition was read and unanimously adopted :-
To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, in Parliament assembled.
The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitant Householders of the City and Suburbs of Winchester.
Humbly Sheweth,- That, from the multitude of Petitions presented during the last Session of Parliament, praying for a repeal of the Assessed Taxes, your Petitioners are spared the necessity of occupying the attention of your Honourable House with a vainful and tedious recapitulation of their irksome effects, in a pecuniary point of view, and of the objectionable mode of their collection.
Your Petitioners are sensible of, and grateful for, the relief already afforded to the nation at large, by the repeal of some of these taxes, and the reduction of one half in others, in the Session of Parliament in the year 1823, and admit the fairness, and approve the policy of the relief given and facilities afforded to commence in the last Session of Parliament; but this was in its nature a measure, the advantages of which were not generally diffused, and relieved the great body of the people, and especially those in the middle rank of life, in a very small degree; and they hope that the time is now come, which was anticipated when this measure was proposed, when the Assessed Taxes, which are borne and felt by all ranks of people, may be repealed; that the whole of the taxes on windows and houses may be taken off.
Understanding, however, from public support, that it is in contemplation to repeal other taxes of infinitely more limited operation, they take an early opportunity of again representing their grievances to your Honourable House, and earnestly pray for redress.
Although unskilled in the complicated process of legislation, and unacquainted with abstract questions of international policy, your Petitioners respectfully suggest to your Honourable House, that the particular taxes of which they complain, in justice and in equity, claim a pre-eminence over all others, from their general influence and extreme severity of operation; and our Petitioners are firmly convinced that their prompt extinction would diffuse more real satisfaction and substantial benefit throughout the United Kingdom than any other reduction which may be contemplated, and would tend materially to augment and strengthen public confidence in the integrity and wisdom of those Ministers who at present compose his Majesty's Councils.
Your Petitioners therefore respectfully, yet firmly trust that the subject of their Petition will meet the serious and dispassionate consideration of your Honourable House, and that the fulfilment of their just and reasonable expectations will not be longer delayed.
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
It was agreed that the petition should be taken from house to house for signatures; and the thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the mayor.
After the above business was disposed of, the mayor called the attention of the meeting to the praiseworthy conduct of the officers and men of the 97th regiment, who lately left the city with a character which he thought merited some public testimonial of approbation; he accordingly moved there should be forthwith sent to Colonel Hamilton, a declaration, that "The magistrates and inhabitants of Winchester beg to express their unqualified approbation of the conduct of his Majesty's 97th regiment of foot, which has been lately raised; and quartered for several months in the barracks of this city." The motion was fully approved of by every one present, and the declaration was signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting.

A meeting was held at the town-hall, Romsey, on Wednesday evening, for the benefit of the "Society for promoting Christianity amongst the Jews," when an Association was formed auxiliary to the Parent Institution.
The Right Hon. Sir G. H. Rose, M.P. having been called to the chair, opened the business by a fervent and impressive address, announcing the designs of the Parent Society and the actual good which had already resulted from its operations both at home and abroad, and more particularly on the Continent of Europe. The Right Hon. Chairman stated several instances, which had occurred during his residence at Berlin, in which the happiest effects had been produced on the minds and conduct of God's ancient people, and said that he believed the Prophecy of Ezekiel (37th ch.) was on the eve of accomplishment.
The Rev.C.S. Hawtrey. M.A. one of the Secretaries of the Parent Society, stated the nature and object of the institution, and read several interesting communications lately received from Jewish Missionaries.
The Rev.C. Simeon, M.A. Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, observed that the object which the society had in view was no less important than that for which the Lord of Life and Glory came down from heaven; and that while so much was doing to evangelize the heathen, it was highly expedient to attempt the removal of that veil under which the Jewish nation had so long laboured.
The Rev.W.Marsh, M.A. Vicar of St.Peter's, Colchester, replied to the various objections raised against the institution.
The Rev.J. Crabb lamented that the cause of God's ancient people had been so much neglected by the generality of Christians; and hoped that in every town a similar institution would be formed.
The Meeting was most numerously and respectably attended, and a handsome collection made at the doors.




PORTSMOUTH, Feb 3..- We have been so little accustomed to receive any orders for sudden preparations, that we seem all in a bustle; while a thousand rumours are afloat, in consequence of his Majesty's ship Wellesley being ordered to be completed to 600 men, and to be at Spithead forthwith. The Ganges also is ordered into dock, whence probably, arises the report that she is to accompany the Wellesley. They are both guard ships.

The 97th and 99th Regiments are at Gosport, waiting for orders.

A project is set on foot for establishing both dry and wet docks, commodious warehouses, wharfs, &c. for merchant shipping, at Portsmouth. The site proposed for these docks is the great morass, near Southsea Castle, where upwards of 100 acres of low lands, it is supposed, will afford every facility for carrying into execution the undertaking, which is to be effected by a Joint Stock Company, with a capital of �100,000. in shares of �100. The accomplishment of such an undertaking would doubtless be highly advantageous.- We understand that shares to the amount of �10,000. have been taken by inhabitants of Portsmouth; and that applications have been made to the projectors, to unite with the intended Railways.

Lieut. Robert Shebbeare (brother of Mr.Shebbeare, of Basingstoke) is selected as First Lieutenant of the Blossom frigate, going on a scientific voyage round the world.

On the 4th inst. died at Brockenhurst, after many years of great affliction, which he bore with christian fortitude, Mr.John Dukes, aged 38 years, many years gardener to John Morant, Esq.; a man in whom was combined the qualities of a loving husband, an affectionate father, and a kind friend: his loss will be long regretted, and him memory long cherished by a numerous circle of friends.

There are at this time 34 persons in the Poor-of the parish of Romsey Infra; and the united ages of 21 of them amount to 1532 years.

FATAL ACClDENT.- On Thursday se'nnight, as two young men, brothers, named Thos.Dovey and Job Dovey, were returning from this city to their home at Brook, in the New Forest, the former met with the following fatal accident: about a mile and a half on the road towards Romsey, Thos.Dovey was cutting a roll with his knife, when his brother, being a short distance behind, ran up in a playful manner, and jumped upon Job Dovey's shoulders, who having the knife in his hand, its point entered Thomas Dovey's side, and inflicted a shocking wound. He was conveyed to the County Hospital, where he died on the Sunday following.




Southampton,

On Thursday evening there was a concert at the Long Rooms, which was given for the purpose of displaying the superior singing of Mr. Braham. Nearly 250 of our nobility and gentry were present. Mr. Braham, who was in excellent voice, was greatly applauded ; and his songs of "Scots wha hae," and "Love, good night," were encored.

At a meeting of the Provident and Humane Society, held at the Duke of York, on Wednesday the 2d instant, Mr. Robert Oliver was presented with a handsome time-piece (made by Mr. Dawes, of this town,) by the members of the above-named society, as a mark of respect for his unremitted attention to their best interest, as founder and promoter of that institution. The above society has been established 3 years and a half, during which period, they have entered on their books 374 members; and what is very remarkable, they have lost only one member by death.

A Petition, of which the following is a copy, will remain to receive signatures at the office of the Registrar, till Saturday the 12th, and at the house of the Rev.Geo.Hume, at Warminster, till Thursday evening the 17th instant:-
To the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Sarum,
Humbly sheweth.-It is not without reluctance that we, the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Sarum, feel ourselves constrained to trouble your Lordships with our humble petition on a subject that has so often claimed the attention of your Lordships. Attached as we are by principle to the national Establishment of our country, and bound as we feel ourselves by the most solemn engagement, to preserve and promote, under divine grace, to the extent of our abilities, the cause of genuine Christianity, it is impossible that we can behold with indifference the alarming progress that the errors of Popery, through the indefatigable industry of intriguing Jesuits and proselyting priests, are at this time making among us.- It cannot be necessary for us to point out to your Lordships attention the many religious houses and seminaries of extensive establishment, chiefly under jesuitical direction, which have been some time growing, and still continue to grow into notice, in different parts of this country: establishments which are industriously employed in training up our rising population in principles hostile to a Protestant Constitution. To the effects which such causes, if not timely counteracted, must eventually produce (the Church of Rome still continuing to boast the unchangeableness of her principles), every person, duly estimating those blessings of civil and religious freedom possessed by the inhabitants of this favoured land, cannot fail to look forward with fear and trembling. Already do we hear the sound of approaching danger: our Church is grossly insulted, and its Ministers, up to the highest dignitaries, treated with indignities which disgrace a civilized country. At the same time that the projected overthrow of at least our Ecclesiastical Establishment, together with the extirpation of Protestants, is loudly and vauntingly proclaimed.- Under these circumstances, we, the Ministers of a Church which has long been regarded as one of the strongest bulwarks of Protestantism, the firmest security to the throne, and the steady promoter of the best interests of society, look up, under God, to your Lordships for protection and support. Hoping and trusting that such decided measures will be adopted, as the wisdom of your Lordships shall judge necessary for the preservation of a Church, which constitutes an essential branch of our excellent Constitution; measures which, under divine blessing, may prove the means of handing down the valued legacy of our martyred Reformers to our children, and our children's children to the end of time.- And your petitioners, &c. &c.




The Lord Chancellor has appointed John March Hodding, of the city of New Sarum, in the county of Wilts, gent. to be a Master Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery.

SALISBURY THEATRE.-�It gives us great pleasure to find that the performances at our theatre this season have given universal satisfaction. The house has been generally well attended: on Monday evening last, and also on Friday, it had to boast of very numerous and genteel audiences. Miss Huddart continues to be a great favourite. On Friday evening a new performer, Mr.Williamson, was introduced, in the character of Henry Bertram in Guy Mannering, and he made a most favourable impression on the audience by his excellent singing. Report speaks most highly of the new play of the Bride of Lammermoor, which has been got up with great care, and will be performed for the first time this evening.

At a meeting of the Trustees, under the paving and lighting Act, of Devizes, held on Wednesday, the Mayor in the chair, a committee was appointed, on the motion of Mr.W. Salmon, to ascertain the probable expense of paving and repairing the streets of the borough; also to frame a bill on the subject, to be presented to Parliament. Another committee was appointed to make inquires relative to the comparative advantages of oil and coal gas; and to form an estimate of the probable expence of lighting the town with gas. Through the generosity of Mr.W. Salmon and the Members of the borough, the inhabitants will be relieved from the expences attendant on preparing the Bill, and passing it through the Houses of Parliament.

The festivities to celebrate the abolition of the turnpike gates on the Lavington district of road commenced on Monday evening last, by a ball at the Green Dragon Inn, Market Lavington, which was attended by many of the respectable families in the neighbourhood. The gates are to be thrown open to-morrow, which will be a grand holiday; and the Hon. Capt. Bouverie will, we understand, condescend to take the chair at a public dinner. In the evening there will be a bonfire on Lavington-hill, which will be the largest ever seen in this county; and from the height of the hill, it will no doubt be visible at a vast distance.

BLANDFORD, Feb 2.- The consecration of the R.A. Chapter attached to the Lodge of Honor and Friendship. took place at the Masonic Hall, on Monday last. The R.W.P.G.M. Wm. Williams, Esq. M.P. presiding, assisted by J. Ramsbottom, Esq. M.P. and, W.H. White, Esq. Officers of the Grand Chapter, London, and also by the Principals and other Officers and Companions of the several Chapters in the Province; and to those who are acquainted will this grand, sublime, and higher degree of masonry, we need not add the great treat afforded us on this occasion.- The solemn ceremony commenced about one o'clock with the consecration, after which, the M.E.Z. proceeded to the installation of the Principals in the new Chapter. Exaltations followed, and about seven o'clock the important duties of the day ended in solemn prayer. The Companions then adjourned to Companion Spooner's, where a dinner served up in his usual sumptuous stile, was provided, and at a very early hour all retired, highly delighted with the proceedings of the day.

On the 3d inst. a meeting took place at the George Inn, in Frome, of the inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood, friendly to "the mitigation and general abolition of slavery;" at which J.A. Wickham, Esq. presided, and which was very respectably attended. The resolutions of the London society having the above designation, were unanimously adopted. An Association was formed, and a subscription commenced in aid of that society; and the meeting resolved to recommend the use of East India or other Sugar, the produce of free labour, until sugars can be procured which shall be ascertained to be the produce of such colonies alone as are acting on the regulation, made by his Majesty's Government, for meliorating the condition of slaves in the colony of Trinidad.

On the 25th ult. died, at Shanks House, Somerset, in the 73d year of his age, Nathaniel Dalton, Esq. the last of that family, and only surviving representative of the ancient and respectable families of Dyrdoe, Watts, and Joyce. For many years in retirement this gentleman kept up an epistolary correspondence with an extensive circle of acquaintance, and though ever conspicuous for a peculiarity of style and conduct, he possessed a heart accessible to the warmest friendship and sensibility. Endowed with a handsome fortune, he has left behind him many attestations of its liberal use. The erection of a magnificent organ in his parish church of Cucklington a few years since, and settling a liberal stipend for ever upon the organist, was one of his public acts; and whenever a private appeal was made by suffering humanity, his feelings and his purse responded to the call.
On the 29th ult died at Upper Bockhampton, near Dorchester, Percival Meggs, Esq. aged 76. He descended from an ancient family many years seated in the county of Dorset, and at an early period in life entered the army. As a Lieutenant in the 58th regiment of foot, he shared in the dangers of the memorable siege of Gibraltar in 1780-1782. He served in the Dorsetshire Militia during the whole of the late war, and at the time of his decease was the oldest Captain. Capt.Meggs, by the death of the senior branch of the family, had recently become the heir to considerable property, which is now inherited by his son, Geo. Meggs, Esq. of London.
On the 9th� ult. died at his brother's house at Easton, Mr.Thos.Lyne, aged 30 years, youngest son of the late Mr. Robert Lyne, of Easten.
On Wednesday the 2d inst. died of the croup, after three days illness, Wm.John, the infant son of Mr. Edw. A. Nicholson, of Barford St. Martin, aged 5 months.
On the 22d ultimo died at her house at Bath, beloved and deeply lamented by her family, Caroline Mary, eldest daughter of the late Edward Scroggs, Esq. formerly of Chute Lodge, in this county.
On Saturday the 29th ult. died at Chippenham, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, Mr. William Lawes, many years a much respected inhabitant of that town, and greatly lamented by all who knew him. He formerly kept the Three Swans Inn, in this city.
On Monday last died, aged 66 years, Mrs.Jane Flower, wife of Mr.John Flower, of Coombe-Bissett.

On Wednesday last an accidental fire broke out in Warminster, which at first threatened to be very destructive, but through the intrepid exertions of the firemen, under the judicious direction of Mr.John Daniell, and the prompt assistance of the inhabitants of all ranks, aided by a good supply of water, the damage was chiefly confined to five dwellings, all of which were insured. As the fire fortunately occurred in the day, no lives were lost, and opportunity was afforded for removing a considerable part of the furniture, which was uninsured, and belonged to the tenants, some of whom were both poor and aged, and for whose relief, with the benevolence which characterizes the inhabitants of Warminster, measures were immediately adopted.

On Monday last the Westbury Association for the prosecution of felons, held their annual meeting at the Lopez Arms Inn, in that town. T.H. Phipps, Esq. presided, and an excellent dinner was provided by Mr.Rossiter. It is a fact that, notwithstanding the increase of crime in that neighbourhood. the depredations are chiefly committed on the property of those who are not members of the Association; the thieves being well aware that if detected, in consequence of the heavy expence attending it, they are not so liable to be prosecuted by single individuals. Hence arises the utility of prosecution societies. The inhabitants of Westbury have it in contemplation to appoint watchmen during the winter months.

HORSE STEALING.-- The crime of horse-stealing has increased to such a degree in every part of the kingdom, that some new legislative enactment is now much wanted for its suppression. The present system of stealing these valuable animals, and disposing of them, in such a way as to ensure the concealment of the offenders, is become so perfect, that the conviction of an offender is a circumstance of rare occurrence. The strict enforcement of the existing law is therefore loudly called for.- In our last, we stated the stealing of three horses in this neighbourhood; and we have now to mention the following. On Tuesday night last a brown cart mare and a bay gelding were stolen from a stable belonging to Mr.George Rooke, of Rockbourn, Hants; Mr.R. has offered 14 guineas reward for the conviction of the offenders. On the same night a brown mare pony was stolen from a field the property of Mr.R.Noyce, of Millbrook, Hants; for the recovery of which 10 guineas reward has been offered. On the same night a dark brown mare, 13 hands high, was stolen from a stable at Bramshaw, the property of Mr.John Andrews. And on the same night a bright bay gelding pony, the property of Charles Henry Wead, Esq. of Upton House, near Southampton, was stolen from his stable, and no less than three locks were broken to get at the pony.- In addition to the above, a bay hackney mare was stolen in the night of the 27th ult. from a field near Chippenham, the property of Mr.Samuel Ghey, and a reward of 50 guineas is offered for the conviction of the offender.- On Tuesday night last, a bay mare 14 1/2 hands high, was stolen from the stable of Mr.R. Evamy, at Nursling, Hants. And a bay mare, 15 hands and one inch high, has been stolen, or has strayed, from a field adjoining Ringwood work-house.
