PARIS, June 1.— Yesterday Prince Talleyrand returned to Paris.— The Duchess of Berry was to be in Marseilles on the 29lh, to proceed the next day to Toulon, thence for Aix.— M. de Talleyrand, it is said, after attending the marriage ceremony at Fontainleau, a. id the e t{ nments yiven on the occasion, will return to VrnWtrSfy. BRUSSELS, May 28.— The Duke of Wellington arrived on the 22d of this month, at six o'clock in the afternoon, at Lewarde, near Douay, at the head- quarters of the Prince of Hesse, commander of the Danish contingent: he departed again in the night. On the 24th the Duke returned to be present at the fete which the Prince of Hesse gave in honour of his Sovereign's birth- day. A magnificent en- tertainment was given, at which a great number of General Officers were present. The Danish troop$ were in grand parade, and reiterated salutes of artillery announced in their cantonments the so lemnity of the day. The Duke of Wellington re- turned afterwards to his head- quarters at Cambray. BRUSSELS, May 29.— A numerous Society in this city, which reckons among its Members some distinguished personages, has conceived the pa- triotic aud religious project to make, on the 18lh of June next, a pilgrimage to the field of Waterloo, and there to cause a funeral service to be solemnized! for the warriors of different nations who i'eli on lhat memorable day. The place where the Prince of Orange received his glorious wound, would be the object of a particular tribute of respect. The intention of this association is to consecrate, by an annual fete, the gratitude of the inhabitants of the Netherlands to the memory of the heroes who shed their blood for the country in those fields of glory and of mourning. On the same oay win appear an Ode on the Battle of Waterloo, by Mr. le Mayeur. This work will be adorned with the portrait of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, and accompanied by important remarks and topographical observations of the most inte- resting description, not only on the three battles of Ligny, Quatre Bras, and Waterloo, but upon all those that have been fought on the same plains since the time of Julius Caesar. We are assured, that the gas prepared at Am- sterdam is not only more considerable iu quantity than what is produced by the English method, but it gives a much better light. This improvement is due to a chemist belonging to the Institute. It is supposed that means have been found to dissolve the gas iu inflammable air, and thus to make it capable of giving light of itself, besides that which it separates from the air. An experiment lias been made at Mans with the same success. MADRID, May 6.— Yesterday they hung a com- missary and surgeon, accused of atte; opts against the life of the King. The commissary's head and right hand have been cut off and nailed up on the gate of Alcala. After the proceedings had been instituted against him, the Judge reported to' his Majesty that he had not found hitn guilty of the crime imputed to him ; when it appears that in- structions were given to the Judge to inflict the torture upon him, because it was said, " the rack, would bring out the truth." It is confidently ascertained, that under the anguish of the torture he confessed nothing, but he was nevertheless hung. The same fate, it is said, is likewise to befal many other prisoners accused of the same crime. The latter are numerous, and every day lliey increase. Yesterday they arrested a cabinet courier and two other persons. Nothing is talked of but attempts against the Royal person, by which the poor King is so terribly frightened, that he dares neiiher to eat, drink, or go out. Orders have been sent to the convents of nuns and friars, to pray fur the health aud life of the best of Kings. SATURDAY, June 8, 1816. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. FRIDAY, MAY 31. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Local Militia Pay Bill, the Soap Bill, Malt and Beer Bill, and several Road Bills Tlie Coroner's Bill was ordered to be read a third time this flay six months; it is of course lost for this Session.— Adjourned to, Thursday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, MAY 31. The Alien Bill, after some discussion, was read a third time, and passed. Mr. J. P. Grant addressed the House at great length on the state of the finances of the country, contending that the revenue had fallen off, aud that next year there would be a deficit of frotn 17 to 18,000,0001. if the present establishments were to be kept up. He concluded with moving a series of Reso- lutions in accordance with the sentiments he had expressed. Mr. W. Smith seconded the Resolutions, and was of opinion that a means of relieving the country must be resorted to, which some persons contemplated witl » dismay and despair. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a short general reply, in which he showed that the National Debt of the United Kingdom would be reduced about 3,000,0001. even in the course of the present year; he stated the revenue up to the last quarter to have been in an improving state, and expressed his strong dissent from the opinions advanced by Mr. W". Smith, which were understood to be in favour of diminishing the interest on the National Debt. He set forth the right of the Stockholder to protection; aud contended, that any measure involving a breach of faith with the public creditor, would be as void of wisdom qs of justice, and would so affect the solidity and resources of the country as to be productive of more injury than benefit; and in conclusion moved Ihe previous ques- tion on the Resolutions, which was carried without a division.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, May 17.— The Court of Assizes have had only one affair of any consequence to judge. For a long time the lodgers in a furnished hotel in the Rue Vieux- Augustins, kept by a woman named Marchand, aged 37, had been robbed secretly of valuable effects, but the thief remainded undisco- vered. The Commissary of Police was applied to, but no detection took place. At length, M. Liepp- mann, a clothier to an Austrian division; having missed several pieces of fine cloth, became curious to know who this secret plunderer was: he conse- quently one day double- locked his door, and an- nounced his intention not to return until late, but left in the closet of his chamber a friend named Moss. The man remained in this confined situation about three hours, when he observed the door open gently, and instead of his having occasion to use the pistols he had provided himself with against some " black- bearded banditti," he saw enter upon tiptoe a female in white, with a taper in her hand, as slowly, and with as much mechanical steadiness, as Lady Macbeth.. There was a certain wildness in her eye as she gazed round the apart- ment; it was but momentary; for, fixing upon a rich piece of broad- cloth, this interesting per- sonage was about to make her exit; but, alas! Monsieur Moss sprang forward and seized her; when, to complete the stage effect, he immediately discovered her to be the mistress of the house her- self. She attempted an excuse, by saying she was addicted to somnambulism; Moss was an infidel; she then attempted caresses; the time of night— alone; but in this also Moss was a stone. She was delivered up to justice, aud at the last sitting con- demned to eight years imprisonment and the pillory. PARIS, May 31.— Several persons have been charged before the tribunals with having fraudu- lently obtained 1000 weight of powder, which they intended for the artist Ruggieri, and which ap- peared to have been stolen from one of the maga- zines of the State. The carriage which conveyed this powder having been stopped at Montmartre oil the 28th of this month, and conveyed to head- quarters, numerous suppositions aud comments have gone abroad on the event. The contents of the carriage amounted to several thousand pounds ; and in this, which was a mere speculation of avarice, people conceived that they saw the plan of a conspiracy. Unfortunately, however, for the alarmists, it turned out to have been only a theft, for which the receiver, the vender, and the driver of the carriage, are to be tried. The proceedings which are immediately to take place will put this ffuj. in its true light. A shocking scene occurred on the 19th instant, in the Commune of Mery- es- Bois, canton of Cha- pelle d'Auguillon. A monster who catne to rob a house of eighty Louis, which were locked up in a chest, murdered a man thirty- four years of age, a girl of fifteen, and a female child of six yearsr— He has been taken. General Gruyer, who commanded in the depart- ment of Haute- Soane in 1814, and had recognised and proclaimed the Usurper on the 14th of March, in consequence of orders given by Marshal Ney, has been condemned to death by the Council of War sitting at Strasburg. He affected his Judges by tbe strongest marks of profound repentance; and did not attempt to defend himself by those disastrous maxims that are destructive of all go- vernment, society, of honour and virtue. Almost mortally wounded at the battle of Waterloo, the adopted father of six nephews and nieces, he spoke of his claims to the mercy of the King as a deluded subject. By an ordinance of the King, the effects and revenues of the Bonaparte family, as far as returns have been made of the same, pursuant to the law of the 12th of January last, are specially appro- priated to the relief of such soldiers as have under- J gone amputation, and such of the pensioners of the 4th, 5th, and 6th classes as remained faithful to their allegiance. The departmental legions forming the garrison of Paris assembled yesterday in the place Saint Sulpice, and had their colours consecrated by the Curate of that church, in the presence of Monsieur, the Dukes of Angouleme and Berry, and several Marshals, Generals, and other distinguished per- sonages. The ceremony was followed by a dis- charge of musketry, and exclamations of Long live the King! Long live the Bourbons! The le- gions then repaired to the Palace of the Thuilleries, where the Duchess of Angouleme attached to each stand of colours a cravat embroidered with her own hands. The officers afterwards dined together at the Summer Vauxhall, and drank the health of the King and his august family, amidst the most enthu- siastic acclamations. A second distribution took place yesterday of the new decorations granted by his Majesty to the National Guard of Paris. A letter from Ancona, of the 12th inst. says, that a lunatic had been sent to the hospital at Averse, who declares himself to be the tyrant that for so many years desolated Europe. He is some- times pretty calm, and appears to talk rationally and consistently, except on this point, to which he inflexibly adheres. He insists upon the peremp- tory execution of his orders. When labouring under a paroxysm, he talks of nothing but con- quests, the subversion of thrones, and of conferring crowns upon his brothers and friends. He wears his rags in the fashion of royal drapery, and has ! a gilt paper crown on his head. He belongs to a respectable family. A fatal duel took place a few days since at Bonavy, near Cambray, between Capt R— K—, and a Surgeon of the British Army ( Mr. 0 ). The parties took their ground at twelve paces. The first fire being without effect, the seconds inter- fered, and used every argument and exertion they could devise to prevent further hostilities, but un- fortunately without success, the Captain declaring that one or both should fall. The pistols being once more given them, the second discharge proved THE COLCHESTER GAZETTE, And General Advertiser for Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and Herts. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.

LONDON. The Emperor Alexander seems to aim at the consolidation, as far as possible, of Poland with his other dominions; he has decreed, that journeying into Poland shall not be considered as passing the Russian frontiers. From French papers to the 2d, it appears that the Government conducts itself with greater firm- ness and severity since the suppression of the late insurrection, than it had ever before shown. Didier bad been brought to Grenoble, and undergone his interrogatories ; Garardin, another of his confe- derates, had been arrested ; and the banditti called Bonaparte's Vultures had been tried in the depart- ment of the Sarthe, and seven of them condemned to death.— Camp Marshal Gruyer, who acknow- ledged the Usurper in March, 1815, in consequence of orders from Marshal Ney, had been sentenced to death by the Council of War at Strasburgh, but by the King his sentence had been changed to twenty years' imprisonment.— A woman had been arrested in the South for uttering seditious cries, who was said to be the sister of Hoche, a distinguished Ge- neral in the first campaigns of the Revolution. A Mail from Holland, which arrived on Tuesday, contains accounts from Paris, which shew the severe and rigorous controul exercised over the French press. It is now ascertained that the Protestants at Nismes have been once more the victims of their bigotted and persecuting enemies.- Not a syllable of this has been allowed to transpire through the French Journals. [ EXTRACT OF A LETTER.] " The city of Nismes has been the theatre of new excesses, in consequence of a feast of the corps of National Guards ( in which there is not a single Protestant) on Sunday, the 12th May. The wine having exalted their natural dispositions, they spread themselves on the promenade round the city, which was much crowded, and insulted the people. The outrages against the peaceable Pro- testants were renewed with greater ferocity by armed men against those destitute of defence. The promenade was immediately deserted. Not content with this easy triumph, the disturbers, finding no more victims, advanced towards a house where they knew they should find a number of Protestants assembled at a marriage feast. They entered with violence, and carried their inhumanity so far as to make cuts with their sabres, by one of which the bridegroom was dangerously wounded, The whole party fled with cries of terror, and the Guards remained masters of the house, which they pillaged. It belonged to Commissioner Decoulage; and the young man dangerously wounded is his son They then spread themselves over some adjacent gardens, belonging to Protestants, which they laid waste. These disorders continued till the next day about noon, and struck terror into the hearts of the Protestants, who, seeing that the Authorities were in no hurry to restore tranquillity, a great number of the most courageous amongst them, who had not, quitted the city on account of the former troubles, lost now all confidence. They occupied themselves in hastening their departure, Had the next day took different roads. There re- main of the Protestants only those whose com- mercial avocations render their presence indispens- able to avert the ruin of their affairs, and they live in continual anxiety, seeing themselves perpetually liable to these excesses." By the Paris papers of Sunday, the report so confidently staled in private letters from that capital, and strengthened by positive statements in the German Journals, of Talleyrand's disgrace, is now disproved. He returned to Paris from his estate in the country on Friday, most probably to be present at the solemnization of the Duke of Berry's marriage. With reference to the affairs of Germany, it is stated, that a General Diet is to be immediately convened in Saxony for objects of the highest im- portance ; that the King of Bavaria has abolished all the war- taxes in his kingdom; that a plan now digesting in Prussia for rendering the public press of that country free; that negociations are still pending in Vienna, under the mediation of Austria i ? i i Great Britain, tosettle some differences between Russia and the Porte ; and that the two Emperors and the King of Prussia are to have an interview about the middle of next month at Toeplitz, in Bohemia. The endless contradictions and inconsistencies of the private letters from Paris are extremely dis- gusting. A partial change of the Ministry is again spoken of. The Minister of War, the Duke of Feltre, and the Minister of Police, De Caze, it is said, reproach each other for having by negligence suffered the insurrection at Grenoble to break out; and that, ( consequently, one of them must retire. It is said that Marshal Augereau, who had re- tired to his country seat at Paris, had departed to that " undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns';" and that by his will he Has bequeathed to his young and handsome widow all his immense property, to the entire exclusion of his own family and relations.— From the report of the physicians, it appears that Massena cannot long survive his brother Marshal. He is now attacked with a violent spitting of blood, accom- panied With such difficulty of respiration, as threatens his speedy dissolution. The late conspiracy organized at Madrid against the King has transpired beyond the capital only in a vague, manner. By the last Mail it was rumoured, that more than a dozen leading personages, involved in it, were likely to suffer death on the accusation,. Which excites the more sympathy, as they com- prise several names which the nation had learnt to esteem for former acts of prowess in its cause, and as nothing in the shape of demonstration appears to stamp on them the decided character of guilt. The King of Spain has established a Lottery in that country, on the same plan with the Lotteries of England. A letter from Hamburgh says—" As a very cu rious but no way flattering example of the present state of our trade, it may be observed, that a vessel arrived to day ( the 24th of May) from London in ballast— an event which has not taken place for these many years." Arrivals from the Bay of Honduras to the 16th of February, state, that in January last the King of the Musquito Shore was solemnly crowned in the church of Beliz, under the title of King George Frederick. He had been brought down from Ja- maica in a British man of war, to be invested with the regal authority. When the Duke of Albemarle was Governor of Jamaica, the people of that coun- try placed themselves under the Crown of England, and since that time the Sovereig i has received the commission from his Britannic Majesty, and before that sanction is given, he is not acknowledged King his compatriots. It is further stated, that the British Clergyman of the colony delivered a very eloquent and impressive speech on the occasion urging his Majesty to support and extend the Christian religion within his dominions to the ut- most of his power. The King made a suitable reply, entered into a treaty with the British autho- rities, and promised to maintain, in every respect, the interests of the British nation. THE, KING'S HEALTH.— Saturday morning her Majesty, accompanied by the Princesses, left the Queen's Palace for Windsor. They arrived at the Castle at eleven o'clock, when the Queen, after visiting the King, proceeded to hold the monthly Council at twelve o'clock, to receive the physicians' report. The Council was attended by the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and York, the Duke of Montrose, and the Earl of Winchelsea. The following Bulletin was on Sunday exhibited at St. James's Palace:—• " Windsor Castle, June 1. " His Majesty has enjoyed good bodily health, and has been uniformly tranquil throughout the last mouth, but his Majesty's disorder is not diminished." Tuesday being the Anniversary of his Majesty's birth, on which day he completed his 78th year, the morning was, as usual, ushered in with the accustomed demonstrations of rejoicings through- out the Metropolis. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a double Royal salute. The Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold ho- noured Covent- Garden Theatre with their presence on Monday evening. They went in private, and sat in a private box, unobserved by the audience. The Marriage of the Duke of Gloucester with the Princess Mary is said to have been finally set- tled last Friday, when the Royal Duke had an in- terview with the Prince Regent, at Carlton House, and afterwards with her Majesty and the Princesses at the Queen's Palace. A third Royal Marriage is now said to be upon the tapis, that of the Duke of Cambridge with the Princess Sophia of Gloucester. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumberland is far advanced in pregnancy. THE PRINCESS OF WALES.— Extract of a Let- ter from Genoa, dated 15th May.—" The Princess of Wales was at Tunis ten days before the arrival of Lord Exmouth. The Tunisian Government re- ceived her with great distinction, and on the 20th of April she went on board the Admiral's ship, to dine with his Lordship. Her Royal Highness spoke in high terms of the gallantry of the Dey, who resolved to accompany her on board the vessel in which she departed for Alexandria, at the same time that the English squadron directed its course towards Tripoli. We do not know what are the projects of her Royal Highness, and whether she intends to remain long in Egypt. It is said that Lord Castlereagh is to be removed to the House of Peers ; and Mr. Canning will as- sume the lead on the Ministerial side in the House of Commons, in the ensuing Session of Parliament. It is understood that the Extra Importation Duly of eight per cent, on Cottons and Woollens is to be taken off, which will greatly accelerate those manufactures throughout the country. After the 30th June only 25 per cent, instead of 33 will comprise this duty ; and, in three years, it is ex- pected to fall again to 20 per cent. Emigration from this country to America rather increases than diminishes. Most of our ships in the West Indies, it is stated, have been deserted by the seamen, who have been tempted to try theirfor- tunes in America; insomuch that all the ships which have recently sailed for the West Indies have been almost doubly manned, in order to fill up the vacancies abroad, and get to England the home- ward- bound fleet! By the arrival of the Wellington packet, with Jamaica Mail, at Falmouth, it appears that a num, her of British prisoners taken at Carthagena have been released. Upwards of 100 had arrived at Ja maica in the ships Forrester and Discovery, pre vious to the sailing of the packet. This relief is no doubt, caused by the active interference of the British and American ships of war. The King- ston Chronicle of the 12th of April mentions the arrival of a vessel ( the Mary) on the preceding Tuesday, from Rio de la Hache, with intelligence that two American frigates had arrived off Cartha- gena previous to her sailing, with Commissioners on hoard to demand immediate restitution of citi zens and property detained there by Gen. Morillo Accounts from Brazil, to the 2d of April, by the Indefatigable frigate, Captain Fyffe, which arrived on Saturday afternoon at Portsmouth, from Rio Ja- neiro, state that the Queen of Portugal died on the 20th of March, and the title of King had been as- sumed by the Prince Regent, attended with public expressions of joy of the most magnificent descrip- tion, The Indefatigable has been upwards of three years on the South American station. A large body of Portuguese troops had arrived at Rio from Lisbon, and had marched to the frontiers, to oppose the Buenos Ayres Republican troops. The Inde- fatigable was cruizing upwards of twelve months in the Great South Sea. While she lay at Valpayrai so, the Royalists were strengthening their fortifica- tions, to defend their shipping from an attack that it was apprehended would be made by the Insurgent naval force ; their vessels had the entire command of that sea, and their cause was daily gaining strength. Extract of a letter from Trinidad, dated April 24, received by the ship New Phoenix, arrived off Falmouth, which left the island that day:—" On Easter Sunday, April 14 an insurrection of the slaves at Barbadoes broke out, as usual on these occasions, by conflagraion; and when the last accounts came away 4! estates had been burnt. We received this intelligence direct from Barbadoes on Sunday the 21st, at nidnight, by express, and the dispatch was private to the Governor. what he has communicated is, hat the insurrection was soon put down, and traiquillity restored; by the exertions of the troops ; but the account received on Monday by a vessel from St. Vincent states, that 41 estates had been destroyed, and that the insurrection appeared to be very extensive, and the slaves most ferocious." By information more recently received, we are happy to state, that the accounts from Barbadoes are much exaggerated. Intelligence has been received direct from Barbadoes, by the Barton, arrived at Liverpool, which sailed the first of May. The following particulars are from a passenger: — " In the middle of the night of the 14th of April, the inhabitants of Bridgetown were awoke from their beds by the beating of the drum to quartets, an insurrection having taken place amongst the negroes at. the estaie of Bailey and Wiltshire. They first proceeded to demolish the Over- seers' houses. They then destroyed the sugar- pans, and all the implements which they could gain possession of; also all the negro huts. On the appearance of the military, who almost imme- diately fired upon them, they retreated in all directions. Between eight and nine hundred negroes were killed and wounded, and a vast num- ber taken prisoners. . We are happy to state that not above two Europeans are killed, and but a very few wounded. The damage done to the above two estates, including the neighbouring ones, does nut exceed 12,001) 1. On the following morning every thing was perfectly tranquil, and a number of the misguided and ill- advised negroes were imploring mercy for six or seven days alter the insurrection. Numbers of executions were taking place among the negroes who had been tried. General Leith had arrived at Barbadoes from Guadeloupe with part of an European regiment; and when the Barton sailed from Barbadoes ( 1st of May) tran- quillity was completely restored. All the negroes upon the different estates were returned to their work. Martial law had been proclaimed at Bar- badoes, and at all the neighbouring islands."— The above contains the latest' intelligence to the 1st of May. MILL BANK PENITENTIARY.— Extract from the Bill before the House of Commons, to regulate the Genera) Penitentiary for Convicts, at Millbank, in the County of Middlesex: And be it further enacted, that every such Governor of the said Penitentiary shall, during the term for which such Convict, shall remain in such custody, keep him or her to labour, of such kind as the Com- mittee before- mentioned shall direct and appoint; and if the work to be performed by any such Convict shall be of such a nature as may require previous instructions, proper persons shall be provided to give the same, by order of the said Committee, to whom a suitable allowance shall be made. And lie it further enacted, that such Convicts as shall be sent to the said Penitentiary, shall, during the hours of labour, be separated from each other, or shall work together in companies - composed of more or fewer persons in number, in such manner as the Bye- Laws, established as aforesaid by the Committee, shall prescribe; and that all Convicts not confined in the Infirmary, shall, during their hours of rest, be kept entirely separate and a part from each other, and be lodged in separate rooms or cells. And be it further enacted, that such Convicts shall be employed in work at the said Penitentiary, every day in the year, except Sundays, Christmas Day, Good Friday, and Ascension Day, and also except such days when ill- health will'n of allow of their working; and the hours of work in each day shall be as many as the season of the year, With an interval of half an hour for breakfast and an hour for dinner, will permit, but not exceeding eight hours in the months of November, December, and January, nine hours in the months, of February and October, and ten hours and a half in the rest of the year: Provided always, that it shall and may be lawful for the said Committee, by a written order, to permit any Convict to labour voluntarily for a longer time than is herein mentioned, upon such conditions as shall in the said order be expressed. And be further enacted, that it shall be lawful for the said Committee to allow to any of the Convicts confined in the said Penitentiary, as a reward and encouragement, any part or portion of the profits arising from their labour, not exceeding such pro- portion thereof as shall be approved of and allowed by the said Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department; subject to such regulations as the said Committee shall direct and appoint. A Committee of the House of Commons, upon the education of the lower orders, has been daily sitting for some time. Mr., Brougham is Chair- man, and the Members are Messrs. Babington, Wilberforce, Bennet, Horner, Butter worth, Romilly, Mackintosh, Barclay, Calvert, J. H. Smyth, M. A. Taylor, General Fergusson, & c. & c. ' Iheir in- quiries are directed towards the state of the poor in this respect, and they have been investigating very strictly the mode of managing various charitable institutions for instruction. As it is well known that great negligence and abuse of funds which should be devoted to this great object prevails in many foundations, persons acquainted with the particulars ought to communicate them for the purposes of the inquiry. As a proof of the flourishing state of the Slave Trade, on the authority of commercial letters just received from the Havannah, we are enabled to state, that in the mouths of November and Decem- ber last, upwards of fifty vessels cleared out from the island of Cuba, for the roast of Africa, in search of cargoes of human flesh ; and that since that period, on an average, six or seven more per month have gone to the same destination. Calcu- lating 200 slaves per ship, Cuba may therefore expect an annual importation of 24,000 slavesd— It is a fair question to ask, whether all this enter- prize can have originated in the heads and pockets of Spaniards ?—( Morn, Chron.) A forgery to a considerable amount has been discovered within these few days. The Bank of England had been induced, from the respectability of the supposed acceptors of certain bills, to dis- count them ; but on their being presented for pay- ment, the fraud was ascertained. Gold has entirely disappeared. Until the close of the last month silver has been very generally circulated of French coin, which has been decried, though every French shilling contains one- half more silver than tie current English shilling. The value of estates and houses seem gradually recovering from their late depression, though it is still severely fell by those who are obliged to go to market; and there is little money now current for pictures, statues, or any ornamentals that are not necessary, and all splendour of dress and table is limited to grand occasions. The establishment of Bazaars in the metropolis has increased, and if a permanence could be an- ticipated, they would render a serious and lasting injury to the fair trader. Bazaar is a Turkish word, signifying Booths for the sale of goods and wares, more similar to our fairs and market- places than to the very confined span of each seat in a house. The novelty has produced a quick sale of some articles of fancy ; but, in general, they are so ill calculated for either use or durability, that curiosity alone has satisfied their visitors. Some remains of antiquity were discovered a few days since near the ancient intrenchments on Hamden hill, near Yeovil, Somersetshire. Among many implements of iron, are the bits of a bridle, the head of a spear, and, in a state of very tolerable preservation, the wheels and other parts of a war chariot, and part of three skeletons; two of the skulls in fine preservation, the. teeth of which are sound, and white as polished ivory. There are also some ornamental rings, and some ether small articles, Returned and refused Letters in the Dead Letter Office are to be henceforth transmitted to the writers within fourteen days from their being first put into the General Post Office, which will prove an excellent regulation, and prevent the losses and inconveniences hitherto felt by a much longer delay. Dr. Mitchell lately exhibited to the New York Philosophical Society, a specimen of American Elastic Marble, measuring four feet in length, three inches in breadth, and one inch in thickness. The slab was of a snowy whiteness, of a grained structure, and of remarkable flexibility. He had received it of Messrs. Norris and Kain, who got it from the quarry in Pitsfield, Massachusets. Since the receipt of this extraordinary sample, another one, of a far more considerable size, has been pro- cured by Mr. Meyher, from Stock bridge. This he is preparing for a place in Dr. Mitchell's ca- binet of mineralogy. The dimensions of this stone are as follow:— Breadth one foot and ten inches, length five feet, and thickness two inches; making a mass of two thousand six hundred and forty cubic inches of elastic marble. This slab, when shaken, undulates sensibly backwards and forwards; when supported at the two extremities, the middle forms a curve of about two inches from a horizontal line and when turned over recovers itself, and inclines as much the other way. It has many other curious properties. The substance under consideration lias been already described by Mr. Meade, in a memoir printed in the American Mineralogical Journal; and New York probably now contains the largest piece that the world can produce. A daily paper states, that the Clergyman of a Chapel in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, has lately gone off under most ignominious circum- stances. The proprietors of the Chapel imme- diately called a meeting, and one of them personally waited upon him and informed him, " that if he would return and prove his innocence, they would increase his yearly stipend from 400/. to 600/." The Rev. Gentleman has not accepted the offer, and the affair at present rests in this state. He was one of the most popular preachers in England. The town of Honiton, Devonshire, has been kept in a state of constant alarm the whole of last week, by the attempts of wretched incendiaries. On Tuesday night a part of the premises of the White Lion Inn was discovered to be on fire, and in spite of every exertion four dwelling- houses were consumed, and others much damaged. The next afternoon an out- house of Mr. Minefie, baker, was, with some other similar buildings, burnt down, with a considerable loss of property. An attempt was also made on Thursday night to burn down the chapel, by setting tire to an- out- house belonging to it. The inhabitants, under the di- rection of the Rector, who is a Magistrate, have formed a Committee to prevent a renewal of those disgraceful excesses, and to endeavour to bring the perpetrators to public justice. We have the pleasure to state, that the disposi tion to riot which lately displayed itself among the pitmen belonging to the different collieries upon the Wear, has entirely subsided. Tranquillity is now perfectly restored, and nearly the whole of the misguided men have returned to their, work.— Forty- eight of the most riotous have been com- mitted to Gaol, the New Prison, and House of Cor- rection, at Newcastle- upon- Tyne. Several hundred persons have recently been dis- charged from the iron works and mines, in the neighbourhood of Wellington, Ketley,. Coalpit Bank, lronbridge, & c. in consequence of the depressed state of trade. At Wellington, in particular, the distress of the lower order is very great. On Sun- day se'nnight the town was literally crowded with persons out of employ, many of whom in vain ap- plied to the recruiting parties. The number of hands out of employ in the once thriving town of Birmingham, is greater than ever was known. Last week a fire broke out in a wood, near Cran- brooke, called Angley Wood, the property of the Rev. J. Cramer Roberts. Through the active exer- tions of the inhabitants, it was happily got under, after burning nearly three hours, and destroying about 70 acres of wood : the damage is computed at several hundred pounds. SINGULAR ESCAPE.— As a servant belonging MILITARY DUSCIFLIM.;.— A few days ago, the 2d or Queen's Royal Regiment, then lying at Chatham, was ordered to march to Portsmouth. On its arrival at that place, it received directions to embark immediately for the West Indies. The two superior Officers, not having received the least previous notice of this measure, tendered their resignations; but the answer was, that they must, embark with the regiment, and could not be allowed to throw up their commissions till they reached their destination. Another Officer, however pleaded the peculiar situation of his family, and after a long hesitation was allowed twenty- four hours to come to London and return. Availing himself of this license, he arrived in the dead of the night, awakened his wife, and after putting together such necessaries as the moment would allow, they re- turned to Portsmouth, and the regiment is now on its way to Barbadoes.— On this circumstance the Times paper makes This prompt mode of proceeding may, perhaps, be - usual among military men; but we confess that, to us civilians, it seems peculiarly harsh, especially in a time of peace, when there appeal's to be no peremptory demand for such extraordinary dispatch', and when, moreover, the climate to he visited is an unhealthy one, and may require some precautionary preparations on the part of those who are sent thither. In the Court of King's Bench, on Wednesday, an action of a somewhat novel nature— Dickson v. . Bell— was adjudicated, in which the plaintiff sought to recover a compensation for a serious injury which his son, a child under twelve years of age, had received through the alleged carelessless of the defendant. The circumstances of the case were as follow:— The defendant had left a fowling- piece at the house of a person named Lemon; which, at the time; was loaded and primed. Soon after he sent his female servant for it, ordering her to desire Mr. Lemon, before he delivered the piece • to her, to take the priming out of the pan. Mr. Lemon accordingly did so, and, as he supposed, so effectually, as to prevent any possibility of danger. The girl then took the piece home, and, - is her master had directed, pit it down in a place where all the children might have access to it. Here one of them took it up, and presenting it at the plaintiff's son, a boy about twelve years of age, who was present, drew the trigger, when some re- mains of powder hanging about the pan, the piece went off, and its contents lodged in the head and face of the child, and wounded it in a most serious manner. For the expences attending this accident, and the injury which the child had received, the present action was brought.— The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 1001. Costs40s; to the Rev. Mr. Wilkins, of Hay, was loading cart with hay, near that place, the horse ran away, and jumped over a hedge at the bottom of the mea- dow, from whence it fell, with the cart, over a pre- cipice of fifty feet high, nearly perpendicular; and it is singular that the animal was not materially in- jured, or the cart broken by the fall, but the load of hay was drawn home, over a steep road, by the same animal, an hour after the event occurred. At Hinckley, Leicestershire, in the yard attached to Mr. Power's house, as a carpenter, a few days since, was employed in fixing down some paling, his spade, at about one foot below the surface of the pavement, knocked off the top of an earthen jar, which, on examination, was found to contain a number of silver coins of our Edward VI. Philip and Mary, Elizabeth, James, and Charles, and most of them in an excellent state of preservation. A rough and flattish stone covered the top of the jar, in which the coins had previously been deposited in a knitted stocking or purse, very little of which, on exposure to air, in taking out the coins, could be preserved. Last week the keeper of Dal by toll- bar removed an old pig- sly; and on digging the earth about a spit deeper, with intent to carry the soil into his garden, he discovered a human skeleton laid at full length. A man was missing near Spilsby about twenty- four or twenty- five years ago, who is sup- posed to be the same person, and murdered by the then gate- keeper, who interred the body there. A few days since, some boys and girls, who were at play at Heighton, near Lewes, on seeing a boy come out of a house, with a gun, exclaimed, Shoot us! shoot us! The boy obeyed the order, and wounded four of them, though slightly, as he was some rods distant from them. The gun had been borrowed, and carelessly put away loaded, of which the boy was ignorant. On Saturday afternoon, the Old Blue Windsor coach and the Union opposition Windsor coach, started at the same time from the White Horse Cellar, in Piccadilly, with the intention of running a race against each other. After proceeding at a most furious rate for some time, the driver of the Union coach lost the command of the horses; the consequence was, that of its being driven against a bank and overturned. There were seventeen outside passengers, one of ' whom had his thigh broken, and was conveyed to St. George's Hospital. A robbery of considerable magnitude has taken place in the course of the week, but the principals concerned in it have not yet been discovered.— It appears that a Nobleman in the country having occasion to remit to town 2,0001. he enclosed ' the same in two or more franks. In the usual course of the post, the letters containing the notes were to pass through the inland office. Alter a sufficient time had elapsed for their arrival, it was found they had not reached, their destination, and a strict investigation was set on foot. The whole of the clerks on duty were made to undergo a minute search : the keys found upon them were taken, away, and their desks and drawers examined, but without any thing appearing to attach to them the smallest suspicion. All the persons connected with the inland office have stood their ground, and have appeared ready to answer any interrogatories put to them ; from whence it is inferred that the robbery may not have occurred in the Post- office department. The Marquis of Salisbury, the new Postmaster- General, attended an investigation at the Post- office on Wednesday on the subject, but without bringing to light any facts which were likely to lead to the discovery of the robbers. The celebrated Mary Ann King was tried on Wednesday at the Old Bailey, charged with felo- niously obtaining property under false pretences. There was not sufficient evidence, however, to convict her upon that count, and she was accord- ingly acquitted. EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIANISM.— Eaton, the pedestrian, who commenced his surprising task on Tuesday morning at Black heath, went on the whole of Wednesday night in good spirits, gene- rally performing his mile in thirteen minutes, and on Thursday morning, at thirteen minutes after nine o'Clock, he completed his thirty- ninth mile. He is dressed in a fustian jacket, thick- set small- clothes, a green leather cap, and a pair of thick shoes, carrying a cane in his hand. His friends are taking all the odds they can get of his finally accomplishing the task. He is to walk eleven hundred miles in eleven hundred successive hours, to finish every mile at precisely twenty minutes after each hour has struck, so that he can at no one time get above three quarters of an hour's rest. ; up- the f- THE COLCHESTER GAZETTE. By the Dutch Mail, which arrived on Tuesday, some details have been received of the recent out- rages at Nismes. It is stated, that the corps of ' National Guards, in which there are no Protestants, having become inflamed by the excesses of a feast, celebrated on the 12th of May, renewed their out- rages against the unoffending and peaceable Pro- testants. Private letters mention these excesses as extending to pillage and other atrocities, and that the tumult continued till the following noon; when, finding no disposition in . the Authorities to restore tranquillity, the next day they left the city, leaving only those behind whose commercial avo- cations rendered their presence indispensably ne- cessary. The French papers assert, that these disorders have resulted from the zeal of the Royal Party, and that the assailed were the avowed friends of Bonaparte. The same pretence was formerly offered for the cruel persecution which some months ago disgraced that city ; and we are not without our fears, in the present instance, that the great and deadly offence which the proscribed Protestants of Nismes have now committed, is a rejection of the blind bigotry of Catholicism. We mean by this remark no disrespect to the tenets of any par- ticular sect; but that respect becomes a crime, when offered to those who deny to others that toleration which they are not even satisfied with enjoying themselves. The situation of France, in whatever way con- sidered, bears no one feature of returning tran- quillity. The turbulence in one. province has scarcely subsided, when our attention is called to some new excess. The public mind is every where on the stretch ; and the arm of power is perpetually at work to keep down the voice of discontent. We are sorry to notice some very alarming ac- counts received from the West Indies. It appears that, on the night of the 14th April, an insurrection took place among the negroes in Barbadoes. The letters conveying this communication are from Trinidad, of the 24th and 26th April. They men- tion the receipt of an express from the President of Barbadoes stating the fact, and recommending every precaution in the neighbouring islands.— The cause of this revolt has been assigned to the expectation of complete emancipation, which, it is stated, the slaves looked for in the provisions of ( he Registry Bill. The extent of the mischief done may have been exaggerated. Forty- one estates are reported to have been destroyed by fire. But if the revolt did take place, we may naturally dread its minute details. The troops are reported to have acted with their usual firmness and fidelity, and that the insurrection was put down. It is a melancholy necessity that these poor ill- fated fellow- creatures should be thus doomed, by mercantile and financial benefits, to drag on, through life, in servile bondage, when religion, justice, and humanity complain at their fate, and all the civi- lized world are at length roused to make the present the last list of sufferers. The abolition of the Slave Trade, by making them more valuable to their masters, promised some benefit to themselves; but as yet no positive good has arisen. The im- portation has not stopped, if it has even decreased ; and as the recent arrivals have been clandestine, so the unhappy wretches who have been the objects of the illicit commerce, by a disregard of all the provisions which regulated the trade, when allowed, as to number, size of vessel, medical aid and treatment, have been a prey to all those horrors which the earlier disgraces of that abominable traffic exposed. The general registry of slaves is an essential part of the humane, just, and Christian act of slavery abolition, that past the penalty of the laws, which, however heavy., does not it is proved deter, we may be assured no new arrivals can be re- ceived; then, and theu only, can we lighten their chains, by insuring generally to them, in an un- happy bondage, that kindness and protection which, as human beings, they are by the mandates of heaven entitled to receive. We can estimate the formidable power of such a number of irritated and degraded creatures; we can feel for those who are exposed to their lawless arts ; but while we would, with the force of autho- rity, put down their devastating attempts, we should regret the necessary victims which, for example, the law may demand. We wish to hear of their obedience; but we wish also to hear that they are iu the situation, not of beasts, but of men. aside, he could not but consider the period chosen for entering on the merits of a subject so important highly improper; and therefore hoped the uniform sentiments of all parties in the- House would obtain deference, by the Resolutions being withdrawn. This suggestion Was acceded to; and, of course, all further idea of advocating the Catholic claims relinquished, during the present sittings of Par- liament. Dispatches have been sent to the Duke of Cam- bridge, at Hanover, with intelligence of the Prince Regent and the Queen having' consented to his marriage with the Princess Sophia of Gloucester. The arrangements which it is necessary for the Duke to make in Hanover, will prevent him from returning immediately, but his Royal Highness is expected early in the ensuing month. American papers, which have been received to the 15th ult. give a melancholy picture of the' em- barrassment under which the trade1 of the United States labours at this time, in consequence of the uncommon scarcity of money. Very few commo- dities can find a sale, and business is nearly at a stand.— Account's have been received at Baltimore of the proceedings which took place at Carthagena after the capture of that place, and if true, they must excite the indignation of every civilized State iri the world against the atrocious barbarities of the Spaniards. It is asserted, that numbers of British subjects and citizens of the United States, who fell into the hands of the Spaniards, were plundered of every thing they possessed, cruelly ana igno- miniously beaten, and pentup in loathsome prisons, where many of them perished. , We learn, through the,- same channel, that one of the crew of the British frigate Hermione, who sonte years ago mutinied and ran away with that ship, has been carrying on piracy in the Gulph ol Mexico. Ili name is Mitchell, and the vessel which he com- manded has been taken by an American brijr ol war and carried into New Orleans, with considerable property on board.—' Theinsurrection of the Negroes in Barbadoes was known ti America. The following article appears in the New York Papers relative to a recent tire in the Catskill Mountains:— " CATSKILL, May 8.— During the last week, rile Catskill Mountains, and the intervening woods have been constantly on fire. It is said it extended as far south as Ulster and Sullivan counties, de- stroying, in its course, property to a very iarge amount. In many instances the inhabitants of neighbouring settlements have been compelled to sally out to save their dwellings from desiruction. The smoke and cinders from the fire, together with a thirk and hazy atmosphere, for a gr at part of the time obscured the sun. A friendly rain on Sunday stopped the progress of the fire, and re- i stored the wonted clearness of the atmosphere." Another fire broke out in the back part of Mas- sachusetts on the 24th of April, which, aided by the wind and drought, destroyed more thau 1 000 acres of wood, and materially damaged a number ol the adjacent farms. COLCHESTER, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1816. %* We arc sorry to be under the necessity of declining a compliance' with the request of our Corresponded HUBERT. The anniversary of his Majesty's birth- day was observe*! here with the usual demonstration* -.' alty.— During the rejoicings on this occasion at Wivenhoe, a melancholy circumstance occurred : boy, about nine or ten years of age, running incau . tiously across a coal- yard at the time some swivel were fired, the wadding' of one of them struck him on the head, and instantaneously deprived htm of life. Tuesday being the anniversary of our revered Sovereign's birth- day, it was observed at Harwich with the usual marks of loyalty and affection; flags were displayed on board the ships, and at the gar • The French Army is recruiting in the Northern Departments with the utmost anxiety ; and to augment the force in young men, they are taking them two inches under the regulation size. The King of Wirtemburg has issued a Procla- mation, threatening with punishment certain Nobles ( who were formerly petty independent Barons of the German Empire, but whose territories were united to the kingdom of Wirtemburg, and the Barons reduced to subjects, by the Congress of Vienna,) lor forming unions among themselves in support of their privileges, and appealing to foreign Powers against their infraction. The Servian Chieftain, Czerni Georges, has sought the patronage of the Emperor Alexander at St. Petersburg; and has, it is said, been very ho- nourably received. Tlu two Houses of Parliament met on Thursday, after the adjournment for the Whitsun holidays.— Iu the House of Commons, Sir Henry Parnell moved several Resolutions iu favour of the Roman Ca- tholics.— Lord Castlereagh expressed an opinion that the Hon. Baronet, by bringing forward his propositions at^ o late a period of the Session, would detriment rather than advance, the cause he had espoused ; for a general understanding appearing to prevail that every intention of discussing the £ iiU> otic question had for the present been laid rison, at an early hour; a feu de joie was fired by the troops, and a royal salute from the great guns and on the Wednesday evening there was a ball at the Three Cups Inn, which was numerously at- tended. Monday the 13th Light Dragoons were inspected by his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, at Romford, on their return from France. The appearance of this fine regiment was admirable, and obtained from his Royal Highness the most flattering expressions of approbation. — The regi- ment marched from Romford on Wednesday, on their route for Bury, Cambridge, & c. By the Act for living the rates of subsistence to be paid to innkeepers and others, on quartering soldiers, passed on the 21st of May last, the sum of tenpence per day is to be paid by every non- commissioned officer and private soldier who shall be furnished with diet and small beer, and the like sum of tenpence per day for hay aud straw for every horse. The diet and small beer to consist ol a hot dinner ( if required) not to exceed ljlb. ol meat previous to being dressed, lib. of bread, lib. of potatoes, or other vegetables, previous to being cooked, and two pints of small beer, and vinegar, salt, and pepper. And in case certain articles are furnished in lieu of diet and small be* r, at the op- tion of the innkeeper, as enacted in the Mutiny Act, the sum of one halfpenny per day is to be paid by every non- commissioned officer and sol- dier, in consideration thereof. The workmen belonging to Chatham lines were all discharged a few days since. The artificers and workmen of the dock- yard have also been fur- ther restricted in their earnings. In the evening of Tuesday last a riotous assem- blage of persons, collected chiefly from the neigh- bourhood of Halsted, attacked a party of constables, who were conducting to the House of Correction of that town four prisoners, under an order of commit- ment for being concerned in destroying some ma- chinery at Sible Hedingham, whom they liberated, obliging the constables to have recourse to flight, for preserving themselves from the fury of their infatuated assailants : the shop- windows of a liades- man, in whose house one of them had taken shelter were uearly demolished. The mob then continued their outrages, during the remainder of the even- ing, by an almost indiscriminate attack upon the windows of the principal inhabitants.— The follow- ing evening the number of these desperadoes having considerably increased, the same scene of breaking windows ensued, the efforts of the Halsted Cavalry to disperse them being unavailable.— On Thursday a party of the 20th Dragoons arrived Irom the gar rison of this town ; and we are happy to state, thai by their presence, joined to the vigilant precautions of the inhabitans, order aud regularity were fe- stored, and the town and neighbourhood have since remained tranquil. The labouring hands in the parish of Whittles*; ford, in Cambridgeshire, assembled last week, and in a very becoming manner laid their grievances before the principal gentlemen of the parish, who applauded their peaceable behaviour, and instantly afforded them relief ; when they resumed their employ with satisfaction. In consequence of the notice given of a new silver coinage, the bonkers in Norwich signified their intention of not taking- any of the old silver. This determination was followed by the tradesmen, and caused a general consternation among the lower classes, as the principal part of their little money thus became useless, aild prevented them from obtaining the common necessaries of life. The Magistrates, to prevent any ill consequences, im mediately assembled, aud in the course of Friday afternomi upwards of 20001. worth of Bank tokens were exchanged for the old silver, the amount to each poor family being limited to 9s. This plan gave general satisfaction, and the great evil ex- pected was removed with is little inconvenience as possible. ' On the 28th ult.' the following persons were commuted to Bury Gaol, by the Rev. J. Barker, charged; on the oaths of several respectable in- habitants of Brandon, with having been active in the alarming riots by which that town was disturbed on- the ltilh and 17i! i of May, viz. William Peverett, Porter Talbot, Wm: Arnold, Henry Spendlove, and James Wiggar.— On Thursday the 30th, Mingay Ramoling and Helen Dyer were likewise coni- uitted, by Major- General Sir Henry E. Bunbury, K. C. B. and the Rev J. Barker, charged on oath with the same offence ; atid on Friday the 31st, William Clark and Ann Folkes were committed uniier the like charge, by Sir H. E. Bunbury. The Special Assizes for the Isle of Ely are fixed lor Monday the 17th inst. Mr. Justice Abbott, Mr. Justice Burroughs, aud Mr. Christian, the Chief Justice of the Isle, will open the Commission ut Ely at nine o clock in the morning) and will proceed to business immediately after divine ser- . There are severity- eight prisoners already onimiited lor trial, many of whom are for capital char;., s ol felony. On Wednesday se'nnight the troops which had been employed at Littleport, consisting of a de- lachmt .. t of the 1st Royal Dragoons, under the com in iid of Capt. Methuen, and the Staff of the Cambridgeshire Militia, under the command of Lieut. Woollard, were assembled at Ely, when Sir H. B. Dudley, Bart, having the special directions of the Commander in Chief for that purpose, ad- dressed them in very flattering terms, thanking them for their highly meritorious services at Little- port on tht 24: h ult. We are informed that afler the firing had ceased at Littleport, two privates in the 1st Royal Dra- goons, being in ' luse pursuit of two daring offenders on one of the banks of the River Ouse, and the latter having taken to a boat and crossed the river, immediately gave their horses to a by- stander, and eve. ti. ig their pistols with their left hands above the water, swam across ihe river with their right aims to ihe opposite bank, aud secured the two in n. The river is of great width.— The dragoon who was wounded has been obliged to have part of his arm amputated. The rioter at Littleport, mentioned in our last as so severely wounded that he had since died, we are now informed is still living, and likely to live, thi ugh a most miserable object, having had great part of his tongue shot away, ( by which he is rendered speechless,) together with one side of his uuurr jaw, ana pari ot tns cheek, so that the wound can never close.— The Coroner's inquest on the rioter who was killed brought in a verdict of Justifiable Homicide. On Monday last an inquisition was taken at Hadleigh Hamlet, by John Wayman, Gent, on view ol the body of George Scofield, an infant aged two years, who was drowned in a pond near to which he had been playing.— Verdict, Accidental Death. Early on Friday morning Reuben Cutting, the landlord of the Duke of York public- house in Ipswich, and one of ( he drivers of Betts and Bury's waggons, was found dead upon the road, about half a mils from Stratford, on the Ipswich side. It is supposed that he fell from the shafts, the wheels of the waggon having gone over his head. Coroner's Verdict— Accidental Death. HARWICH, JUNE 7.

ODE TO THE MEMORY OF BURNS. • WRITTEN BY THOMAS CAMPBELL, ESQ AND SPOKEN AT THE LATE COMMEMORATION OF ROBERT BURNS, THE SCOTTISH POET. Soul of the Poet! wbereBoeVr, Reclaim'd from earth, thy senilis plume Her wintr* of immortality; Suspend thy harp in happier sphere^ And with thine influence illume The gladness of our jubilee. ArtVi Hy, like fiends from secret spell, Discord and Strife, at BURNS'S name, Exorcis'd by his memory; For he was chief of Bards that swell The heart with nontpj of social flame, Aud high delicious revelry. And Love's own strain to him was giv'n, To warble all its ecstacics, With Pythian words unsought, unwill'd— Love the surviving trift of Heaven, The choicest sweet of Paradise In life's else bitter cup distill'd. Who that has melted o'er his lay To Mary's soul in Heav'n above, But pictur'd sees, in fancy strong", The laudscapc and the livelong day That smil'd upon their mutual love?— Who that has felt forgets the » ong? Nor ak. ilI'd one flame alone to fan— His country's high- soul'd peasantry What patriot- pride he tanght:— how much To weigh the inborn worth of man! And rustic life and poverty Grow beautiful beneath his touch. Him in his clay- built cot* the Muse Entranc'd, and shew'd him all the form* Of fairy- light and wizard gloom, ( That only gifted Poet views,) The Genii of the floods and storms, And martial shades from Glory's tomb. , On Bannoch- Field what thoughts arouse The swain whom BURNS'S souaj inspires? Beat not his Caledonian vins, As o'er the heroic turf he ploughs With all the spirit of his sires, And all their scorn of death and chains ? And see the Scottish Exile, tanu'd By many a far and foreign clime, Bend o'er his homeborn verse, and weep In memory of his native land, With love that scorns the lapse of time, And ties that stretch beyond the deep. Encamp'd by Indian rivers wild, The soldier, resting on his arms, In BURNS'S carol sweet recals The scene* that blest him when a child, And glows and gladdens at the charms Of Scotia's woods utid waterfalls. O deem not, ' midst this worldly strife, An idle art the Poet brings— Let high Philosophy control And sages calm the stream of life; ' Tis he refines its fountain springs. The nobler passions of tr le soul. It is the Muse that consecrates The native banner of the brave, Unfurling at the trumpet's breath, Rose, Thistle. Harp—' tis she ela'es To sweep the field or ride the wave, A sunburst in the storm of death. And thou, young Hero, when thy pafl Is cross'd with mournful sword and plume, When public grief begins In fade, And only tears of kindred fall. Who but the Bard shall dr" ss thy tomb, . And greet with fame thy gallant shade? Such was rhe soldier— BURNS forgive That sorrows of mine own intrude, In strains to thy great memory due. In verse like thine, oh! could lie live, The friend I mourii'd— the brave, the rood, EDWARD, F that died at Waterloo! Farewell high Chief of Scottish song, That could'st alternately Impart Wisdom and rapture in thy page, And brand each vice with satire strong; Whose lines are mottoes of the heart, Whose truths electrify the sage. Farewell; and ne'er may Envy dare To wring one baneful poison drop From the crnsh'd laurels of thy bust; But, while the lark sings sweet in air, Still may the grateful pilgrim stop, To bless the spot that holds thy dust. • Burns * as horn in Clay- Cottage, which his father had built with his own hands. t Major Edward Hodge, of the 7th Hussars, who fell at the head of' Ills squadron in the attack of the Polish Lancers. HISTORICAL STATEMENT OF THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF THE POOR LAWS. The first Statute or Law made in England, giving any particular directions respecting helpless beg- gars ( for this is the real name by which the claim ants under this system ought to be called) was in 14' Jfi, during the. reign of Henry VII. It is di- fected, " That every beggar, notable to work, shall resort to the Hundred where he last dwelt, is best known, or was born; and shall there remain, upon pain of being set in the slocks three days and three nights, with only bread aud water, and then shall be put out of town." A miserable relief thi for a description of persons declared to be impo- tent and helpless 1 Yet as there were at that period Monasteries and Nunneries in every quarter, blessed with rich incomes and abundant kitchens, the poor certainly ran little hazard of starving. It was not until 1531, in the 22d yearof Henry VIII. that the attention of Parliament was again directed to the wants of the necessitous poor; and then the Justices of every county were empowered to grant licenses to poor, aged, and impotent persons to beg within a certain precinct; and such as should beg without that precinct were either to be whipped, or be set in the stocks three days and three nights, with bread aud water only. Five years afterwards a considerable Legislative enlargement was made concerning the relief of the poor. We shall recite it from the. Statute Book. The Act of Parliament passed on the occasion was, " To enable the Go- vernors and Magistrates of counties, towns, aud parishes, to find and keep every aged, poor, and impotent person, who should have dwelt three years in any place, by way of voluntary alms, with sueli convenient alms as should be thought meet by their discretion, so as none of them shall be com- pillnd { i. e. necessitated) to go openly in beggin and to compel sturdy vagabonds to work. Also, that children under fourteen years of age, and above five, who live in idleness, and shall be taken beg- ging, may be put to service. No person shall make any open or common dole, nor shall give any money in alms but to the common boxes and common gatherings in every parish." This un- questionably was the first law made in England that seemed to provide for the aged poor; yet being entirely voluntary, it did not prove by any means effectual. The open doles, as they were termed, were made by wealthy persons of a charitable dis- position at the gates of their houses, on certain fixed times, and the poor of the neighbourhood attended toTefeK> e frioney or provisions. No fur- ther alteration occurs until the reign Of Edward VI. in 1547, when we find a Statute against Vagabonds, which is imprinted with so many glaring charac- ters of the ancient bondage of the lower classes of the people of England,. that it Was with great pro- priety repealed partly three years afterwards, and wholly in the 39th of Queen Elizabeth, on the avowed principle of its incongruity with the dispo- sition and habits of a free and commercial people. One clause of this singular and tyrannical Act will be sufficient to show the horrible tendency of the the whole Statute. It enacted, " That a i un- a- gate servant, or any other, who liveth idly and loiteringly by the space of three, days, being brought before two Justices of the Peace, they shall cause him to be marked with a hot iron on the breast, with the mark V, and adjudge him to be the slave of him who brought him for two years after, who shall take the said slave and give him bread, water, small drink and refuse meat, and cause him to work, by beating, chaining, or otherwise, in such work or labour as he shall put him to, be it never so vile. And if such slave shall absent himself from his said master within the said term of two years, by the space of fourteen days, then he shall be marked on the forehead or the ball of the cheek with a hot iron, with the sign of an S, and further, shall be adjudged to be slave to his said master for ever. And if the said slave shall run away a second time, he shall be adjudged a felon. It shall be lawful for every person to whom any shall be adjudged a slave, to put a ring of iron about his neck, arm, or leg." Another ineffectual law was made in 1555, the 2d and 3d of Philip and Mary, in conformation of former laws relative to the poor, and recommending weekly collections for the aged and impotent poor of every parish by the charitable devotions of the inhabitants, and ordering badges openly on the breasts and backs of the mendi- cants. We now come to the real and substantial esta- blishment of the Poor Laws, the first Statute enacted in England for the relief of the poor. It passed in 1563, in the fifth of Elizabeth. We feel it necessary to observe, that until this time, all the preceding Acts of Parliament were merely on the principle of voluntary contribution resting or de- pending on the charitable devotion of the people; but as this method had not answered the intended purpose, nor prevented beggars from multiplying throughout every part of the country, it became necessary to go a step further. The suppression of the convents and religious foundations had un- questionably increased the disorder, as they afforded great relief to the poor both on their own lands and in their neighbourhood, to whom not only their kitchens but their granaries were ever open, aud more particularly in times of scarcity. When therefore the Church lands were alienated by Henry VIII. it was declared that the purchasers held them for the charitable purpose of keeping up the old and wonted hospitality. This they neg- lected to do, but no compulsory law was enacted until the period now before us. The Statute then made has the following compulsory clause:— " And if any parishioner shall obstinately refuse to pay reasonably towards the relief of the said poor, or shall discourage others, then the Justices of the Peace, at their Quarter Sessions, may tax him to a reasonable weekly sum, which, if he refuses to pay, they may commit hiin to prison." Thus compul- sion was substituted for voluntary contribution, aud nine years afterwards we have the first instance of legal and parochial assessment for the poor. In 1597, the Legislature proceeded still further, for every parish was charged with a weekly tax; the highest rate eight- pence, and the lowest two- pence; but it was not until the 43d of Elizabeth, 1601, after a variety of vague and fluctuating Acts, that a law passed adopting nearly the present method of collecting the Poor- rates, by Overseers in every parish. The vast and rapid accumulation of the Poor- rate shews still more decidedly the alarming mag- nitude of the evil. According to Sir William d'Avenant, in his Essay upon Ways and Means lor supplying the war in 1095, the expence of main- taining the poor of England amounted to 605,0001. annually; and it is not a little remarkable, that the observation made by the author on the occasion may be more peculiarly applied to the present mo- ment. He says, " that as this money is managed in most places, instead of relieving such as are truly poor and impotent, which the law designs, it serves only to nourish aud continue vice and siolii in the nation." The returns made from the Poor- rates to Parliament, stated from Easter, 1775, to Easter, 1770, were— squandered. All this would be. saved were the poor supported out of a fund generally raised from all ranks and classes in the country ; nor should it be overlooked, for it is known frequently to happen, that the parishes which possess the least means are the most burdened. Tire application ' of relief upou local principles seems unworthy of a great and dignified nation. A soldier or a seaman that has fought his country's battles is rejected by his country, and known only to some distant and ob- scure corner where he happened to draw his breath. The child of the common soil, the citizen of the common state, the subject ofthe common empire, is dragged like a captive from one end of England to the other, until having reached his native village, he is then permitted to put in ( lis claim of pauperism, to repose his worn- out limbs in his legal work- house, and to stretch out his hand for the parochial obolus! Money expended on the poor in) England j Ditto in Wales £ 1,503,16: 1 12 33,640 13 £ 1,556,804 6 3 Thus, in a space of time not very short of a cen- tury, the increase was only somewhat more than double ; and even in 1785 the expence amounted to but 1,943,6491. Since that period the accumu- lation of expenditure appears to have baffled the most inordinate estimates, aud has doubled itself i the short lapse of thirteen years, as, in 1803, the total, which was 4,113,1641. is at this present mo- ment considerably beyond eight millions. The whole of these statements, whether const dered in a financial point of view or their influence on the spirit, habits, and manners, of sc great mass of our national population, constitutes an irre- sistible body of evidence, enforcing conviction ou every mind, and demonstrating the absolute neces- sity of a speedy and radical reform in the vitiated deformed, and degrading state of the Poor System The subject has slipped through the hands of every one who has hitherto attempted to grasp aud mould it to its proper and natural bent. Yet its tangibi- lity is indubitable, and its vices and deformities are so palpably monstrous, as to come home to the bosom and business of every man. Among other objections that have been justly made to the present system, we may observe, the old assertion " that every parish ought to maintain its own poor," however specious, and strengthened by the antiquity of the position, is neither the cheapest nor an equitable mode of raising the means to relieve want. It is proved by long ex- perience, that where a single person or family re quires relief in his own parish, several are distressed at a remote distance from their legal homes. Th passing of them a great number of miles must not only prolong their misery, but the expence of their conveyance, which must be enormous, is absolutely AGRICULTURAL REPORT, FOR MAY. The spring sowing has been completed in the most perfect manner; but the weather, which has been so propitious to culture, has been, in almost an equal degree, unfavourable to vegetation. Nevertheless the spring corn, as far as it has appeared, proves a most healthy and vigorous plant; such is remark- ably, and most fortunately, the case with the wheats, which are strong, luxuriant, and erect; and the present, should the sunnier prove warm, will, in all probability, be a great wheat year. From the extreme lateness of the spring, and want of sun well- grounded apprehensions are entertained for the fruit crop, and that we may again be under the necessity of being good importing customers to our continental neighbours. All vegetation is at pre- sent so backward, that nothing remains to be said on hops, or other spring crops. Preparations are making for the turnip culture.— In Norfolk, Ox- fordshire, and several other Counties, spring wheat has, of late, come much into use as tt Lent crop. The markets, in their sudden vicissitudes, seems to have closely followed the course of I he weather. Long wool is lower in price, and less quick in sale. Corn seems inclined to fall with a rapidity equal to its late rise. The farmers' stocks are not consider- able, the demand for money having been so urgent ; but the national stock is ample, even exclusive of foreign wheat in warehouse, which proves to be far below general calculation in quantity. LAW REPORT. 38. COURT 01" COMMON PLEAS, MAY ANDREWS V. CRICKITT. The plaintiff, a widow lady, sought to recovery 411. due upon a contract made with the defendant, a lady of considerable fortune, in the county of Essex. It appeared that the defendant and her daughters agreed to take a house, No. 4, Chiracs- street, Piccadilly, which belonged to Mrs. Andrews, at the rate of ten guineas a week, for eight weeks. A few days after she had been in possession, the defendant com- plained of the house being dirty, and not fit for the accommodation of a genteel family. She quitted it in consequence, and the question was, whether the de- fendant was liable to pay the rent for the whole term of tier contract. . After she left the premises, the bouse was let by her consent to Lord George Caven- dish, and the rent received from that Nobleman, toge- ther with one week's rent tendered by the defendant, left a balance of 421. Miss Crickitt, the defendant's daughter, proved, on tllep » rt of lier mother. th: it the liniup WIIK not fit In live in. The window- curtains, beds, nkid floors, were described to be so dirty that the servants might well refuse to occupy the rooms. The defendant's cham- ber- maid also stated that the beds were numerously inhabited by fleas, and that she had seen no such ver- min at the elegant mansion occupied by the defendant in Essex. Mr. Serjeant Best, in his cross- examination of the witness, put the following question:— Q. Pray, Madam, do you happen to know an Essex flea from a London flea?— A. No. Serjeant Vaughan, who was for the defendant, then •' sked the witness— Did you ever sec such fleas in Essex as those von saw iu Loudon?— A. No. They were the largest ever saw. Serjeant Vaughan.— There, Brother Best, you see the London fleas are too strong for your Essex fleas. The Court was in a merry mood during the whole of this examination. After an able charge from the Learned Judge, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 441. Mr. Richard Clement Headington, surgeon to the London Hospital, agreed with the preceding witness in describing the case of Hewley ; admitting, however, that it was possible that the leg might have been broken A fortnight. Elizabeth Ware deposed, that her husband was a bricklayer. Ou the 2d. of April she recollected the male prisoner and the deceased coining to her house in Passion- street, Spitalfields. They Went into a room over head, and iu a short time she heard the violent cries of a child, she immediately got out of bed, and went up into the room With Mr. Reeves, and saw the male prisoner strike the deceased violently with a sweeping brush ; he then took the child by the feet, aud dashed it down on a large flagstone ; the prisoner then put the child up tfce chimney, with another boy after it. Witness then went down stairs, as she could bear it no longer. Mrs. Sarah Reeves confirmed the evidence of the last witness. It appeared, that after the beating she saw the boy walk down stairs, and consequently the leg was not broken at that time. Ann Chandler deposed, that oil the 23d or 24th of April tbe prisoner came to her house with the de- ceased to sweep the chimney; they all walked to her house. Mr. Justice Bayley asked tlie Learned Counsel whether there was any evidence to prove the fracture on the leg by the prisoners, and being answered in the negative, the Learned Judge then addressed the Jury. He thought it his duty to stop the proceedings in tiiiscase, understanding that no evidence could be produced to prove that either of the prisoners had broken the child's leg. Most inhuman cruelty had, indeed, been proved on the part of the male prisoner towards the boy, but that was not enough ; it was ab- solutely necessary to prove the fracture of the leg by one ofthe prisoners, and it had been positively sworn bv the last witness, that on the 2Sd or 24th of April ( he deceased walked to her house ; at that time, there- fore, the leg could not have been broken. He there- fore recommended the Jury to acquit the prisoners.— The Jury acquitted both the prisoners; but Mr. Jus- tice Bayley detained W. Moles for a misdemeanor in beating the child. Shortly after the trial, the wife of Moles was dis- charged from the gaol, and upon entering the street she was pursued in all directions by a mob of several hundred persons, who continued to inflict upon her every species of abuse aud violence. Stones, mud, and offal, were showered upon her most profusely ; the clothes were torn from her back, and her life would certainly have fallen a sacrifice to the indig- nant multitude, but for the interference of some of the City Off ers, who brought her, nearly lifeless, and almost naked, to Guildhall.— The Magistrate ordered her to be conveyed to the Compter until she could obtain an asylum. On Saturday, Joseph Boyce was indicted for forg- ing a power of attorney for transferring 7811. navy H per cents, with intent to defraud the. Governor and Company of the Bank of England The fraud was discovered at the Bank, by the vigilance of the Stock- broker employed on the occasion, to procure the transfer, and a Clerk of the Bank, in consequence of the name of the holder of the stock being wrong spelt. The prisoner was capitally convicted accordingly. William Gregory was indicted for forging a transfer of 251. Navy 5 per Cents. with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, or Elizabeth Coward. — The prisoner bad become ac- quainted with Elizabeth Coward, and she had lent liini money several times. He knew also that she had some money in the Navy 5 per Cents. She never au- thorized him to sell out or transfer that money. A young woman with whom the prisoner was also ac- quainted, named Sarah Vincent, deposed, that she u cut, at the request of Il\ e prisoner, with him to the Bank, and according to his previous instructions, she put her mark to a book, and he received the money. He had told her, before going to the Bank, that he had a sister ( who was out of town) named Coward, who wanted to sell out some stock; and as she could not come to town, lie wanted some one to go with hini, and make a mark in her stead. When they left the Bank, he desired her to say nothing about it to any one. She, however, told her brother of it, and by his advice she went to Marlborough- street, and gave full informal ion ofthe whole transaction.— Guilty. OLD BAILEY INTELLIGENCE. William Soames, ( commonly called Bill Soames), James Cooper, and John Cooper, notorious pick- pockets, were indicted at the Old Bailey , on Thursday the SOtli ult. for picking the pocket of a Mr. Souter, on the 20th of April last, of his pocket- book ; which, however, contained nothing of the smallest value. ex- cept a few stamps. The prosecutor was going into the city, in company with a friend, about eleven o'clock on the day above- mentioned : he was alto- gether unconscious that he had been robbed, till in • St. Paul's Church- yard he was apprized thereof bv Vaughan, an officer belonging to Bow- street, who had seen the theft committed. The prisoners, dis- covering they were watched, ran off, Vaughan, after ineffectually endeavouring to apprehend them, hastened to overtake the prosecutor, whom he in- formed of his loss, and took his address. Three days after, Vaughan, with the assistance of Dickons, also belonging to Bow- street, secured all the three pri- soners in Fleet- street, where they were found engaged in their usual pursuits.— Their guilt being thus clearly proved, they were immediately sentenced to trans- portation for life. On Friday, William Moles and Sarah Moles were capitally indicted, charged, by an inquisition taken on the body of John Hewley, with the wilful murder of the said John Hewley. The following witnesses were called to make out the esse :— James Small was a pupil at the London Hospital, and had been so for seven years. He remembered the deceased being brought in, on the 7th of April: he examined him, and found contusions on the body, aud a fracture oil the leg, which appeared tothe witness to have been produced by violence. The lad was so young, that it was impossible to say within a day a) what time the fracture was done, but it could not have been more than a day or two: he ascribed the mortification to the fracture ; there were also some ex- coriations about the knees of the lad ; the leg was cut off subsequently to the mortification, but the deceased did not survive the amputation more than a quarter of an hour. The death of the lad could be ascribed to nothing but the violence done to the leg, aud the mor- tification. The excoriations on the knees arose, as he believed, from climbing chimnies. At Middlesex Sessions, on Saturday, the notorious Robert Roberts was put to the bar, charged with a conspiracy, in feloniously stealing and negociating Bank- notes, to the amount of 1,9001. stolen from the Windsor coach, in the month of November last. William White, alias Conkee Beau, it will be re- collected, was convicted as a principal in the robbery, a few Sessions since, at the Old Bailey. Mr. Allev opened the indictment, and the case was stated by Mr. Pooley. H. Birch Butler, Esq. put in a record ofthe indict- ment of Robert Roberts and William White in the month of November last, and of the conviction ofthe latter at the last February Sessions at the Old Bailey. James Allen, a clerk to Messrs. Williams and Co. of Birchin- lane, delivered a parcel to one Wyatt, a coachman, to be conveyed to Messrs. Brown and Co. of Windsor, ori the 16th of October last. The parcel contained Bank- notes amounting to 1,9001. He packed up the parcel himself, and entered the num- bers of the notes in the books. Mr. Adolphus, for the prisoner, took an objection on two grounds, against the prosecution; first, that the indictment charged the delivery and subsequent theft of 123 certain promissory notes, without speci- fically stating the exact amount and number of each note so delivered aud stolen ; secondly, that the evi- dence of the witness Allen, being given from books, written documents, and not from his own memory, which tie could not at all exercise, according to his own account, upon this occasion. Mr. Pooley replied, that the arguments of thelearned Counsel would apply to a charge of felony, as in that case it might be necessary to prove the identical article stolen. Here, however, the fact was, that certain notes, forming part of property wliic h had been stolen, were traced to the possession of the prisoner, who cir- culated them in concert with the felon who had been convicted. Mr. Alley followed on the same side. Mr. Adolphus addressed the Jury, on behalf of Roberts, in a most ingenious and forcible manner. The Chairman then recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who having retired for about half an hour, returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner immediately took occasion to call Heaven to witness his innocence, declaring that he was neither in London nor Uxbridge on the day alleged by the witnesses; and that the prosecution was nothing short of a deep- rooted and foul conspiracy against him. The Court deferred judgement. The trial occupied nearly the whole of the day. HYDROPHOBIA.— At Udina, in Friuli, a poor man, lying under the frightful tortures of the hy- drophobia, was cured with some draughts of vinegar, given hiin by mistake, instead of another potion. A physician of Padua got intelligence of this event at Udina, and tried the same remedy upon a patient at the hospital, administering to him a pound of vinegar in the morning, another at noon, and a third at sunset, aud the man was speedily aud per- fectly cured. The following is quoted from a late number of The . National Intelligencer American paper: " A young man,, whose name is Campbell, is upw in this city, for the purpose of procuring a patent lor a loom of the most singular construction we have yet seen. It does away, the necessity of warping; and when onc. e in operation can be kent so for any length of time ; that I'B, a ; web may 0e wove of any desired length, as the cloth U rolled out in such a manner as it can be cut off at any- time without stopping the loom. The warp is taken from bobbins or spools. This new combi- nation of machinery will greatly reduce the ex? pence of fabricating cloth."— The method of weay. ing above- mentioned has long been known in tiiiS country, and it is further known, that it is impos- sible to prosecute it with any advance of profit t. So much for American inventions for " greatly reducing the expence of fabricating cloth." At one o'clock on Saturday morning a fire broke out in the extensive workshop of Messrs. Irwin and Keep, coach- makers, iu Marylebone- street. It was soon discovered by the servants of the No- bility and Gentry who were attending a grand bail and supper at Sir Henry Russell's, and who per- ceived a light in a lofty building at the back of Sir Henry's premises; but as it occasionally disap- peared, being partially smothered, doubts wen! entertained that the workshop was on fire, and it was concluded that some person was at work. The company at Sir H. Russell's, who had caught the alarm, being quieted, sat down to supper. Just a* they had finished, and were about to resume the merry dance, the flames burst out from the work- shops which adjoined the back of Sir Henry'* premises, and struck such consternation into the company, that the ladies, without the least regard to ownership, entered the first carriage, from five to seven being squeezed together. The Noblemen and Gentleman, amounting to about seventy, pur- sued a different course; though full dressed, ihey laudably assisted in working the parish- engine for near an hour. On the flames extending to'' Sir H. Russell's stables, that gentleman conveyed his most valuable properly to the house of a friend opposite. We regret to state, that the whole ofthe premise of Messrs. Irwin and Keep were destroyed, and a valuable stock of carriages consumed. Eight new carriages were destroyed, finished, as also eighteen which were building. The turpentine, varnish, and other inflammable materials on the premised, added greatly to the conflagration, and made the blaze be visible for several miles around. A few carriages and a small part of the household furni- ture were saved. The workshops being behind Mr. Nixon's, the brushmaker, and Mr. Mason's* the ironmonger, in Marylebone- slreet, they, and several other houses are damaged. Messrs. Irwin and Keep had two houses in Marylebone- str. et, over the coach warehouses ; one of them, which re over the gateway leading to the mews, attached to' the houses in Wimpole- street, is entirely destroyed, except the outside wall in Marylebone- slreet. A man passing under the gateway at the time th£ flames were raging, a large piece of timber unfor- tunately fell upon hiin, and he was taken up sense- less, carried to the hospital, and is stated to be since dead. The ( ire was occasioned by a kettle of varnish being left hanging in a fire- place, where it was supposed that the fire had been extinct; but it having burnt up, the liquid had boiled over. The alarm and consternation of the inhabitants around may be easily conceived. Happily the night was very calm, and not a breath of wind was to be felt, which prevented tbe flames spreading. Mr. Irwin is only partly insured. Last week a private of the 95th or rifle corps, who, with two or three others had marched into Lewes, ou their way for deserters, while at his quarters at the Bear Inn, by mistake took up .- i musket belonging to one of his comrades that was loaded, instead of his, town, which accidentally went off, and shattered one of his arms si. shock- ingly that he was obliged to suffer amputation. The amputated limb was carried to the church- yard and there buried, unknown to the parson or clerk ; and the latter, on hearing the circumstance hastened to the grave to take it up, when to his great surprise, he discovered it had a precious resurrection. There was dug up, a few days ago, in the imme- diate neighbourhood of the Old Castle of Lanark, a gold coin, with the following impression upon it On the one side the thistle, above it is the year in which it was minted, 1077 ; on the other side is a crown, supported by a sword and sceptre crossed. On Saturday afternoon a fine boy, seven years old, the sou ol Mr. Williams, of Peter- street, Golden- square, unfortunately fell from the balcony of the first floor into the street, and was killed on the spot. MURDER AND SUICIDE IN AMERICA.— WAR- SAW, ( GKNESEE COUNT*) April8.— About three weeks since, the wife of Dr. Abel Watkins, of Middlebury, Genesee county, died, as was sup- posed, of a fever; i n consequence of which Watkins persuaded a neighbour and intimate friend of his, named Perry, to remove with his family into his house, and take care of his children. Shortly after, Mr. Perry was taken very ill with tlie cholera morbus, as stated by Watkins, by whom his life was despaired of, aud Dr. Chauncey L. Sheldon, of Warsaw, was sent for, who attended him through the day, and till nine o'clock at night, and left him apparently much better. Watkins attended him the remainder of the night, and Perry died the next day. Mr. Perry and Mrs. Watkins being attended with similar symptoms in their sickness, together with an appearance of familiarity between Watkins and Perry's wife, soon created a suspicion that Watkins had poisoned both his wife and Perry. Inquiry was made of Dr. Sheldon ( of whom Wat- kins purchased his medicine) if lit had purchased any poison of him ; and it was ascertained that he purchased one ounce of arsenic and some nux vo- mica. Suspicion increased ; the body of Perry was dug up and examined, and it was ascertained beyond a doubt that there was a considerable quantity of arsenic iu the stomach, which was. much corroded. The physicians reported lhat his death was occasioned by arsenic. Watkins was informed of the opinion of the physicians about three o'clock the next morning; he shortly after went out of his house, and in about an hour and a half was found iu the woods, suspended by a hand- kerchief to a small bush ; his legs, part ol his body, and his hands on the ground. On examination he was found to be dead. Yesterday Mrs. Perry was taken into custody, and is this day to be examined. — Ontario Messenger. BRAINTREE:.... BALLINGDON .. BRENTWOOD...
