1830.] Foreign News.-Domestic Occurrences. TURKEY. The principal chiefs of Bosnia Herzzovina, a part of Macedonia and Albania, bave organized themselves into a confederation for resisting the encroachments of Russia. They will acknowledge the sovereignty of the Grand Seignor, if he consents to give up the new political and military systems and institutions he has introduced into the empire; renounces the military costume and discipline of the Franks, resumes the turban, throws aside the cap worn by the christian slaves, and restores the ever victorious Janissaries. The insurgents declare they will never recede from these bases, and the same principles appear to prevail in all the chief towns of Turkey. To this end committees have been formed at Seraglio, ia Bosnia; at Pristina, in the Arnaouthlik at Fotchia, Gasco Scodia, Elbossan, Berat, Janina, Larissa, Jacova, Kuptuli-Vardar, and Sarnocovo. The Servians, although partly emancipated by the treaty of Adrianople, have concurred in the plan. SOUTH AMERICA. 71 Affairs have at length taken a decided turn in Columbia. General Bolivar, seeing himself to be an object of unextinguishable jealousy to his fellow-countrymen, and unable otherwise to prove the disinterestedness of his motives, has formally announced his resolution to hold himself free of any share in the Government. On the 27th of April he addressed to the congress, sitting at Bogota, a modest and unpretending message, in which be says the good of the country alone exacts from him the sacrifice of withdrawing himself for ever from the land which gave him birth, that his presence may not become an impediment to the happiness of his fellow-citizens. To this message the Congress replied on the 30th of April, that it saw in this proceeding on the part of Gen. Bolivar, a new proof of his disinterested devotion to his country, and an additional claim to the glory with which his name would be handed down to posterity. DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES. INTELLIGENCE FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. Want and misery appear to be on the increase in many parts of Ireland.In several districts of the Queen's County the lower orders are actually perishing from famine. They have been tempted into the commission of outrages by their distress, and their proceedings are now assuming a most dangerous character from a secret system of organization which seems to regulate them. The distress in the northern suburbs of Dublin equals in intensity that which has been felt in most parts of Ireland. In Howth, Baldoyle, and Clontarf, the population have been in the most dreadful state of destitution. Above 4,000 wretched creatures, young and old, of both sexes, have been employed by the relief committee of Limerick breaking stones on various roads and bye streets of the city. For three weeks past many families in the county of Leitrim contrived to subsist upon herbs and nettles. July 2.-The noble spire of the church at Rotherham (represented in our Magazine for last September) was struck by lightning. Having been upwards of 63 yards high, it has long been the pride of the town and the admiration of strangers; but it is much feared that the injury received has so materially displaced eight or ten yards of the upper part, from its centre, that it will be necessary to take it down. The history of the spurs worn by the "Herald" at the proclamation of his Majesty at Exeter, is somewhat curious. Mr. Baker, an ironmonger in the Highstreet of that city, had purchased them in a lot of old iron by weight at one farthing per pound. On their being polished for the ceremony, they proved to be silver, decorated with a fleur-de-lis, and worth, as old silver, upwards of 31. The property of the late Sir C. Hawkins, bart., in St. Ives, and which secures the purchaser a seat in Parliament for the borough, was lately sold by auction in London for the sum of 57,2001. It is reported that the purchaser is the Marquess of Cleveland. July 19.-Some months ago the threefold crime of rape, robbery, and murder, attended by circumstances most disgustingly horrible, was committed by two carters named Thomson and Dobie, near the village of Gilmerton, in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. The unfortunate victim of their unnatural brutality was a woman named Paterson, whom the monsters had induced to ride in their cart; and after the perpetration of this foul crime, they threw her into the read, where she was afterwards found 72 Domestic Occurrences.-Promotions. nearly dead. They were this day tried at LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. His Majesty William the Fourth. His Majesty, since his accession to the Throne, has been rendering himself extremely popular by his frequently appearing in public, and conducting himself with great condescension and affability towards all around him. On the 19th his Majesty inspected the Coldstream Guards on the parade in St. James's Park, accompanied by the royal Dukes and an immense concourse of people. He afterwards held an investure of the most ancient and noble order of the Thistle, when the Duke of Sussex was invested with the insignia of that Order. At one o'clock the King held a court at St. James's, for the purpose of receiving addresses from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. On the 20th his Majesty inspected the 1st and 2d battalions of the 3d Guards on the parade in St. James's Park. After the troops went through their various manœuvres, the officers were separately presented to his Majesty, and kissed hands. Among those present were the Dukes of Cumberland, Gloucester, and Wellington; Princes George of Cumberland, Leopold, Frederick of Prussia, and a great number of field officers. After the review his Majesty proceeded to visit the exhibition of the Royal Academy at Somerset-house. On the 21st his Majesty, accompanied by the Queen, and attended by a numerous suite, inspected the two regiments of Life Guards in the Regent's Park. Their Majesties afterwards break [July, fasted with the Duke of Wellington, at The 22d of July the King inspected the 1st and 2d Battalions of the Grenadier Guards, on the Parade in front of the Horse Guards; and afterwards the 9th (or Queen's Royal) Lancers, commanded by the Earl of Rosslyn. On the morning of the 26th inst. his Majesty had a grand review in Hyde Park of the Household and other troops, consisting of two troops of Horse Artillery; two batteries Foot Artillery; 1st and 2d Life Guards; Royal Horse Guards; 1st, 2d, and 3d battalion of Grenadiers; 2d battalion Coldstream Guards; 1st and 2d battalion of Third Guards; the entire of the Troops under the command of Gen. Lord Visc. Combermere. The whole presented a very brilliant sight. On the 27th the King attended a review of the Artillery and Engineers at Woolwich; after which his Majesty and attendants partook of a most elegant dejeuné à la fourchette with the Artillery officers. In the course of the entertainments his Majesty, after toasting the Royal Artillery, gave "the Duke of Wellington and the Army and Navy combined." On the 28th his Majesty held a levee at St. James's Palace, when great numbers of the nobility and persons of distinction had the honour of being presented. A new street from Waterloo-bridge to Charlotte-street, Bedford-square, is to be carried into immediate effect. The Government give the Marquis of Exeter 25 000l. for his share of the ground which it will occupy, and the Duke of Bedford generously contributes 4,000l. towards the plan. The Waterloo-bridge Company will subscribe as their proportion 5,000l. The Mercers' Company have at their own cost agreed to carry the new street entirely through to Charlotte-street, where, in a direct line through Bedford-square, Gower-street, by the London University, it will fall into the Great North Road. Mr. Arnold, the proprietor of the English Operahouse, will immediately commence the re-erection of his theatre on a partially new site. PROMOTIONS AND PREFERMENTS. July 5.
