Brighton INCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON: APPLICATION is about to be made to Par liament, for leave to form a Canal, to be called the Royal Clarence Canal, and to be, constructed from Erith to Woolwich, on the river Thames, the object of which is to prevent the damage to which shipping are subjected from the numerous shoais on the proposed line. A Dock is also projected on the Isle of Dogs, near Blackwall, which, by facilitating the discharge of colliers, is expected to reduce the price of coals in the metropolis and its neighbourhood. A drying-house, for hending timber, in Woolwich Dock-yard, owing to the extreme rarified state of the air, lately blew up3 by which accident six men were killed, and two who are missing are supposed to have been killed, and fourteen or sixteen are badly wounded. From December 10, 1811, to December 15, 1812, there were christened within the hills of mortality, males 10,338, females 10,016; buried, males 9396, females 8899; increased in the burials this year 1282. The Common Council of London have agreed to a wretched plan for enlarging Smithfield Market, so as to accommodate 8000 more sheep--the expense is estimated at 40,6001.--Why not remove so great a nuisance? In Westminster a club has been established for promoting Parliamentary Reform, for returning members t♬ Parliament for this city, free from expense or personal trouble, and for defraying such charges as may occur in the faithful exercise of their duty. Any elector may become a member, upon payment of not less than 6d. at his admission, and not less than 2d. per week co long as he continues a member. A pay ne of 20s. constitutes an annual member. Persons not electors, who desire to promote the objects of this club, are invited to become subscribers. Lach of the seven parishes is to have a committee of three electors. One of the members is to be the treasurer; he is to receive the cash from the secretary and others; he must pay it to the general treasurer as often as it amounts to 51. and the balance at every quarterly meeting. A general committee Consists of the members of all the parish committees, and assembles every three months, on the third Monday in the month, and as much oftener as it deems necessary. The general committee must call a meeting of the whole club, by public advertisement, en the 24 Monday in the month of December in each year, to report to the meeting whatever it thinks worthy of being communicated. The plan can, with very trifling alterations, be adopted to any city, borcugh, or County. MARRIED.
