POSTSCRIPT. LO « YDOJ\ \ Monday Aighl, Jan. 6, 1823. We learn bv the jpttblin Mail, which arrived this morning, that the persons changed with the riot in the . Dublin Theatre, have, for the present, escaped punishment/ The' Grand Jury rejected all the bills against the seven persons charged with conspiracyj and found true bills against but two of those changed with the riot. Now as the law stands, both in Ireland and. this country, three persons, at least, are necessary to constitute a riot'; and there- » fore less than three cannot be put upon their tr ai at the same time for that offence.— As soon as the decision of the Grand. Jury was known in the Court, the Attorney- General, after expressing'his astonishment at such a result, said he should require the parlies to he held to basH until he was enabled to file EX- OFFICIO informations against them, which . should. be the first moment the approaching Terrn would permit.-— The Judge ( Moore) also expressed Ins great surprise ( from the evidence he had seen) at this to him unexpected decision o( the Grand Jury ; after which, Mr. Forbes, one of the pri- soners, Was ordered to give bail, himself in £ l() nO, and two sureties in £ 500 each, and - the; other prisoners also to give bait > each of them in - 1200, and their several sureties in £ 100, to answer any charge which the Attorney- General may prefer. THE REVENUE. The Returns of the Year's and QuaiteVs Re- venue, ending on the 5th instant, as compared with the corresponding periods of last year, have been published this day. It appears that, although the Customs, the Sfam- ps, Post- Office, and Mis- cellaneous T a xes^ have iucreased dtiring the year, the amount of the Excise DuIks and Assessed Taxes, owijig to the late reductions of taxation on those heads, have decreased, making the whole receipts of the last year less than those of the year preceding. by the Sum of £ H08,711 — The Beccipts of the last Quarter, notwithstanding the Sfreat reductions, exhibit a decrease of only as compared with the correspondi::^ Quarter of last year.--- Btit for tbe reduction of taxes in the year just terminated^ the result would be an increase in the year 182* 2 of nearly a million, proving that though the Agriculturist is unfor- tunately depressed, the Manufacturing population are in a state of prosperity,, HOLIDAY AT THE BANK. ~ SHRBW^ BURYr" WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, JS23.

EXTRAORDINARY LEAPS.— In I he 6th column of our 4th page, a paragraph, copied from the Glasgow Chronicle, records an extraordinary leap, recently taken over the canal between-< 31a » govv and Paisley. Having observed this paragraph, a Correspondent of the same Paper, in a litter to • he Editor, dated the 30ih ult mentions another leap, " performed by the present Lord Forester and Mr Wing, a sporting farmer, in the course of a distinguished rnn with the Duke of Rutland's fox- hounds, from the noted cover of Jericho, in the vale of BelvoUv It was over a brook measuring 21 feet 6 inches iu width, and on land perfectly level. Both cleared it cleverly, but the horse rode by Lord Forester made such a spring, as induced his Lordship to bet that he had covered a space of ( en yards, and he won by the decision of judgee from Belvoir Castle, who declared that the dis- tance was thirty- one feet six inches, while ( lis luare rode by Mr. Wing covered only little more than twenty- four feet." ACCIDENTS BY DROWNINO.— Leonard Jbnes, a post- hov from the Talbot Inn, in this town, returning from Trelydan Hall, Montgomeryshire, with a pair of post- horses, oil Saturday night, was drowned in the river Viiuiew, having, it is sup pased, missed the ford, owing to the darkness of the night, and the swolu state of the stream. He has left a widow and six small children— On Monday morning last, the body of a poor woman, named Tiler, residing in Castle- Foregate, was taken out of the Canal, near this town. There being jio evidence as to how she came into the water, the Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.

COUNTY MEETINGS ON AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.— III our third page, we have given a coriect abstract of the history and proceedings of the Norfolk County Meeting, held on Friday last. -— It lias been stated, that sixteen other Counties are to follow the example of Norfolk in holding a County Meeting ; but if those counties, like the one just mentioned, ... u> be by a mushroom sort of freeholder, with a yesterday's title and a mob at bis heels, it is high time for the LANDED INTEREST, by which we mean the GENTRY and YEOMANRY of the kingdom, to look to themselves.— While on this subject, we cannot but call to the recollection of a considerable body of the working classes, who are members of Benefit Societies or Savings Banks, another trait in Mr. Cobbett's conduct It is well- known that a Fund exists at Leicester, called the Frame work Knitter's Fund, which is, in fact a Benefit Club, to \ vInch, . in cases of distress from illuess or want of employment, a numerous body of the working class who are subscribers to it, have recourse for assistance. The existence of this fund being evidently a reason why its supporters should not embark in schemes of revolution and spoliation, the institution was attacked by Cobbett, whose remarks were replied to by the Rev. Robert Hall, of Leicester.— The character of Cohlutt, as drawn by that gentleman, was given in our Journal of the 23d October last ; and we think we cannot do better than re- publish it i> u the present occasion :— 11 lie ( Cobbett) is a popular dechthner— r ot a philosopher; . a firebrand— not a luminary. He emits tire and smoke in abundance, like'a volcano; but the whole effect is to desolate,, not to enlighten-. His principal ai iifire consists in the eihibitfon of a few specious and hold generalities, which lie illustrates and confirms by a few prominent farts, culled for his purpose without tile slightest attempt at that patient induction and inquiry, which alone can lead to solid and useful results. Shrewd, intemperate, presump tuous, careless of the truth of his representations, and indifferent to the consequences, provided they make tin impression— he is well qualified, it ii. ust be confessed, by his faults no less than by his talents, by bis iutla'niniatory * t_* le and incendiary spirit, lo excite insurrection— the Polyphemus of line mob, * the one eyed monarch of the blind,* " Rome tieinhled when Ca'aline rej need. Let the friends of peace and order, then, let the landed proprietor especially, la , e warning ; they stand upon the brink of a precipice, from which, if they suffer themselves to be precipitated, it will he no small aggravation of their calamity to perceive the ease wiih which it might have been prevented ; together with the contemptible agency and the flimsy so- phistry which accelerated their overthrow. If it is some consolation to the fallen to have perished by a noble hand, the indignation of being baffled and deluded by the author of The Political Register, inuiit be inor- e humiliating than words can express. * • #.. « * * * * u He sees, without the aid of inspiration, an inun- dation of miseries to follow { the failure of the. Knitter's Fund)— paupers. crowding by thousands to the doors of overseers— parishes dismayed and per-, plexed— the poor clamouring for bread, which can not be given them, aiid rusning upon the point of the bayonet to avoid a more cruel and lingering death ; the commencement of that tempest, in a word, which he boasts having crossed the Atlantic to witness— which is to shake all. that lis stable— 10 piostrpie all that is great— and lo accumulate a pile fortlie elevation of future demagogues Winsolcnce were the proper corrective of f'tly, Mr. Cobbett would, of all men, he the best qualified to administer the cure ; though, on that supposi: io; ii, his inter, ference would he impertinent in the present instance.

There is a little history connected with signing^ which is Somewhat curious* apd which,- though not gratifying froi/ i the proof it affords of the existence of extensive distress, may not be useless, from the light'it throws on the straight forward integrity of a portion of the Norfolk advocates for public virtue. It appears that the id£ a of Calling: a pnhlic nveeting' at this luoment originated with the iripihls to Par- liamentary Reform in the western part of the county.

Mr Alderman Thurtell moved the following resolutions41 That it appears to this rneeting thai the system upon whichour national coneernr, has.!> eet » ; hitherto conducted, has at length led to a state of : Agricultural distress, unprecedented and unhea31> ble. That it remains no longer arf evil to be ; i. uticipate! l^ but has now arrived, auji iu its progress, reduced,, thousands of agrjcurtiiiists to abject poverty, a^' threateivs all with a similar fate. >! : ; 4!•' T'liat• hi » twithsfamling numerons and, ex pIicit. rfl presentations have been made to the Legislature fr » « n this county and many, other counties; of the.

" That this meeting is convinced the time is now arrived when his duty to himself, to bis family, to bis country, arid to his King, should impel every man boldly, yet respectfully, to declare, not only that taxation i » ihe leading cause of aU our national dis- tresses; but that a burden so overwhelming e, an not be borne, and ought not to have been inrposed. 44 That from t' » e failure of all the measures; re- cominended by the Agricultural Committee of the Hoirse of Commons, this meeting is furnished with additional reasonR for belie* tug that the desirable transition from our present state of distress to future prosperity, cannot result w ithout anj abolition of aU needless, and''. therefore useless places, pensions,' aij. d sinecures,, and such a reduction of the national del^ as is required by the present circum. itanc^ s of the country.,- arid the imperati ve claims of public justice. " That the total repeal of the malt and beer tax co. uld not fail to operate bo. ib. as a relief from a heavy burden, and as an eucouragenit n' tu the otrtisnmpi 4ion1 of Barley— an object of great irnportance to the Agriculturist; and would also enable the labouring classes to partake of a wholesome beverage at a much cheaper rate. " That petitions, founded on the foregoing Reso- lutions, be addressed to both Houses of Parliament earlv in flie " next Session, and that the Earl of Albemarle and Lord Suflield be rfquested, to present one to the House of Peers, and the County Members the other to the House of Commons, and to support the prayer of the petitioners '"}.

Tbe resolutions called for the reduction of the na tional debt, so far as present circumstances required. To this he had some objection, as who was to tie the judge of what present cirOumstan'ceS" r( kjt « re ?

One person ran down" to Lord Robert, to encourage him to bold up, with t: he information that help was at band. His- J^ ordship shook his head, saying, it's too late." Instantly, however, the ladder was bhiUghi and passed to him; he grasped it, and by one last Effort sprung up and was dragged out. Too feeble to walk, he was conveyed to the bouse, strip- ped, Und put into bed; A messenger was imme- diately sent for medical aid, which be accidentally met within half a mile. To the medical, attendant much danger still presented itself, the Noble Lord haying been long in the Water, and afterwards ex- posed to'very cold air; bis Lordship's countenance had become black, his body was all over cold and dauip, with feeble circulation, he was labouring most alarming! v for breath, and at times was hope-; Fesslv distressed ; but means were promptly de- termined on, and by the affrighted numbers around all orders were instantly observed. After about a quarter of an hour, the respiration became revived ; anVfin aliont an hour his- Lordship began to breathe freely, so that he could converse. So<> n a tier, Lord Clia^ rs/^ iWaiitiers arrived.

ALL TO BE DRAWN fn our Journal of the 6th of November we gal'e a copious extract of an article in the SPORTING MAGAZINE, detailing the histony am) manage, ment of the celebrated Warwickslii're Hunt, parti- cularly while omler the patronage of tile late highly- respected JOHN COKBRT, Esq. of Sundorue. — A continuation of the subject is given in the number'of Ihe SPORTIXG MAGAZINE published on the 1st iust. fium which the folioumg are extracts:— . " Will Barrow— I will except no one— was as fine a horseman as ever rode over a country, vvhitfh gave hi in an advantage over his hounds,, as his . eve was never off them iu chase. He knew Warwick- shire as well as he did the parish he was b'orh in ; and. let bis hound* go fyhither thev would, tliej- could not be long out of his sight. . Will, however, was. not a goocMempered man. He rode so well that he was able to give Iris bounds iuKMediate assistance ; and as he was at all times legardless of fences, his easts, were quick ; « iid decisive. In dog language, Will Barrow was never excelled. His view halloo was the best and most melodious I ever heard." " The uniform politeness of Mr. GOBBET formed a striking contrast to the occasional moroseness of his huntsman. Were a u> un seen bv the former iu the midst of his houuds at a most trying moment, Pray, Sir, hold hard, von will spoil your own sport,' was all the rebuke he would'recti ve from mill." " The price of horses iu Mr. CORBET'S hunt, I have reason to believe, was only exceeded by that given rn the Melton hunt, and, in some instances, was nearly as great. From two to live hundred guineas were frequently, anil it, o » e instance seven hundred . and fifty,, were paid for a hunter, theu ten years old. This was the celebrated horse called ' Confidence,' the property'of that well- known thorough- bred sportsman, Mr. Lockley: and the purchaser was Mr. Richard Best, also well known in the sporting world, and a member of the Strat- ford hunt. Mr Loukley having hail this m « o- nifi- cent horse since lie was four years old, and bavin ® ridden him several' seasons in Leicestershire, his fame as a hunter was well established ; but the iiumediate cause of Mr, Best's purchasing him at the price stated, was his/ carrying Mr. Lockley iu a superior style, over a most trying country, for au hour and twenty minutes, and taking a large timber fence at the end of it, when the'jump was out of all the other horses. On Mr. Best eoinino- up he asked Mr. Lockley if he would sell his liorse ; and on the price, being fixed, the bargain was closed the same evening: This being somewhat above a Warwickshire prict;, it may be supposed that Mr. Best upon Con- fidence, was iu some measure an. object of attrac- tion, and he was expected to ' out- Herod Herod.* A decoy was laid for hiin one day,, by getting Will Barrow, on one of his great jumping horses, as the . hounds were drawing over the country, to lead him in conversation, into the corner of a field, out o^ which there was no way but over a very high rail and a tremendous ditch oil the other sid" e. On' Will's clearing it, ttiere was a cry of ' now Mr Best.' Mr. Best, however, followed, and came at east a yard further into the next field than the horse that went before liiin, which I was witness to. What man, however, who had ever ridden him could tail to put confidence in Confidence, as I should conceive'there was nothing that any other horse could do in the field, to which he was not equal, for a finer animal, was never formed bv nature" J When on the subject of horses, it may not be uninteresting to some of your readers to hear a little of the history of oue of the most enterprising and spirited horse- dealers that England ever gavebirth to, in the person• of Mr. Richard llradlev who resided near Stratford on Avon , during g'reat part of Mr. Corbet's and for » evei; al years of Lord Middleton's hunting Warwickshire. The reputa- tio. li of Mr. Bradley, as a judge of a hunter, and a brilliant rider over a couutcv, reached the ears of his present Majesty— then . Prince Regent— who on hfs road from Ragley, called at his house, and waited nearly an hour, for the purpose of seem ® him ; but he could not be found, though not far from home at the time, and so misse- d the intended honour. Exclusive o? his fine judg- meiSt of a hunter and his excellence iu riding him, be had a way of insinuating, a customer into a purchase, which it was more than difficult to withstand. His flow of language, was particularly good; anil he wanted nothing but education, and the models of the great pleaders of antiqiiity, to have fjtted him for the Bar or the Senate. Indeed, on one occasion he Wj » ' teH b, v, a eertaift Baronet, wel'l known on ihe road, that during the time he had had the honour of sitting in the British Parliament, he had never heard any one talk . half so much to the purpose as himself, , . " In Warwickshire's best day- when Mr. COR- BET hunted, it— it was not unusual for Bradley to have sixty or seventy first- rate hunters in his stable at one time, and he had, generally, three or four out with the bounds oil the sn; iiedi> v. As I before observed, he rode admirably to . houuds himself and he had a lad called ' HariV ; in his service' whose hand on a horse was so flue, and his nerve, so good, tliat he could make a . riw horse into a hunter Jo three or four of his lessons with hounds It, was sometimes, however, laitghable, to see the different figure that some of these newlv- wrou" ht hunters, which had carried Harry so well one day made ort the next, when thev lost the assistance of his directing finger, and found the no favourable addition of tour or rive stone on their backs, with a . cluin'y rider. All that could be said on thai sub ject was, that Mr. Bradley sgld the horse but not .. the rider. . •• « There was another horse- dealer within a morn- nrg's ride , rtf Stratford, who . was a conspicuous character in his way, and who also attracted the notice of royalty— his late Majestv bavin ® fre quentW had an interview with him.,'' His name was Stroud, and he lived dt a small village called South Newingtoii, oil the road- from Chippin ® Norton to Banbury, where the business is now carried on by Ins son,- the old man bavin ® paid the debt ot nature. He was allotted to he asuperior judge . of . horses to carry high weights, for which ' he gjwedtfrge prices ; but he never suffered then to be . ridden with houpds, oil the principle that ' exclusive of the danger attending it, Jir'sh cover, . many faults. Stroud was supposed to have been of Egyptian descent, which the cast of his counte- nance bespoke. He was, however, a fair deiler and bought a good sort of horses* From his vi' euiity to Oxford, he liad caught hold of some scraps of Latin. Oil shewing a horse one day to Oxonian, wh o objected to . . size," the old man observed that, ' To he sure, lie. is. a little horse to look at, but he is what you Oxford gentlemen call, mijltuiii ja pava.'

They find their way through the thickest woods, having- no kind of compass to guide them but the moss, which always grows on the north side of the trunk of a tree, and seldom fail to arrive at the very point or spot they proposed to reach when they began their journey 0 They can discover and follow paths, the existence of which no white person would be aware of, and know, by the appearance of the withered leaves, whether any individual or game has recently passed. Most of them are excellent inarksmen j and none ever seem to have the least defect in the organs of hearing or seeing. Civilization and its consequences tend powerfully to destroy that acute- ness of the senses and those bodily perfections, which belong to man when in a stale of nature, for he loses them in proportion as he ceases to require their aid. But these form the boast and glory of the savage ; and the Indians, it is said, often ex- press their pity for the white people, who appear to them to spend life in learning how to live. ( i The Indians are in possession of some valuable secrets, which nothing will induce them to disclose to' any white person, lest, they say, he should be AS CLEVER AS THEY ARE. Thev have the art of dying with colours more beautiful and permanent than any that we can produce, and are acquainted with various vegetables possessing strong medicinal virtues : they can prepare a bait which never fails to allure certain animals in the traps set for them : and they all know where the salt- springs are to be found, which are the resort of deer and dtlier animals. Their numbers are diminishing- 5 and, as a people, they have lost, much of their original strength and importance, as the natives of South America lost after the conquest of Mexico. Mr. Howison entered into conversation with one who spoke English fluently; who made several inquiries about the nature and object of the REFORM- meet- ings held in Great- Britain; and'who regarded the civilization of Europeans with considerable con- tempt, observing, that the Great S'ptTit1. shewed how much he preferred Indians to any other people by teaching them to live in the woods, to find their way through the forests, and to acquire many wonderful, secrets which were denied to. white men, 4 I inquired of him,' says the author, 4 whether the Missionaries had come among his tribe, and converted any of them to the Christian eligion. He replied that Missionaries had once nsited li> f> ebielsi of his nntion. boi: no e. ive Wnnld LANDSLIP— An example of a landslip, what in the olden time would have been called a walking hill, occurs near Camberwrll, four miles and a half south of London, at Knight's Hill, upon an estate which was the property of the late Baron Thurlow. The ground has been observed for many years to slip or give way after a con tinuance of wet weather; but the autumn of L821 being remarkable for a great quantity of rain, has caused a greater subsidence than on any former occasion The part that has given way extends in an irregular direction on the north and west sides of the hill, seven or eight hundred yards in length, and varying from twenty to a hundred iu breadth containing altogether about five or six acres, lias carried several trees along with it, but they still continue growing; the green sward possessing great tenacity, has been thrown into most singular contortions, bearing some resemblance to '. old entrenchments. The higher part of the bill is fu I of rents and fissures. The depth of the landslip is apparently about two « r three yards. A long continuance o- f wet would perhaps be. the means of extending it over tiie road which passes at the foot of the hill, and upon which it seems to have already encroached in a trifling degree. Knight Hill is part of the London clay formation, and the landslip is of course occasioned by the strata underneath not being sufficiently porous to carry off the waitr. Early Playing Card*.— At a sale of prints, which look place this week at Mr. Sotheby's in WcUiu" ton Street, Strand, was sold an extra- ordinary collection of very early Engravings, of fourteen pieces, part of a set of. playivf/ cards. They consisted of the four Queens, the four Knaves, and three of the Kings; all represented bv single figures, habited iu the costume of the fifteenth century, and distinguished by devices of 7ions, suic] sx birds, and satyrs. In addition to the. above Court Cards, were two whole- length figures ( perhaps intended for Esquires or Knights, which are said to have had a place in the Tarocco cards ) together with a common card, composed of five grotesque figures; the central one of which lias a baton in hi* hand, making it probable that it was intended for the five of Clubs. There are no initial letters, monograms, or dates, on any of tlse plates; but they are apparently of the period of * he Master afU0( i, and being neither noticed by Bartch, nor in the work of Mr. W. G. Ostley, may be considered as unique. Size of each print, b\ inches in height by inches in width. One circumstance is very remarkable in the above collection; namely, that the small figure in each, designating the suit, is printed from a second or separate plate, upon a blank space of exactly the loojicr shape and dimensions left for the purpose in the larger plate, to which il is so exactly fitted, that upon a first view it appeared as if the King o,- Queen, for example, together with the figure inarkintf the suit, bad been printed from the same wlatc. ^ Tlie fact, however, has been substantiated after a minute examination; and it appears, moreover, certain, that in printing the ciunmon playing card noticed above, no less than five distinct plates were used, one of which is also found vpon one of the Court Cards. These interesting Prints attracted considerable attention among the * collectors, and produced the sum of seventy- six pounds thirteen ski 11 ivgs i ieranj Gazette. visited the ' chiefs nation, but ivo cne would listen to them ; for, though they talked much about the superiority of their faith, and its beneficial influence among men, every ro; n. e knew that they said what was not true ; and, . as long as the white people got drunk, told lies, and cheated Indians, his nation would doubt the goodness of their re- ligion, and prefer that which the Great Spirit had given to them before it.' " therland, and Wigton,) had appointed Committees to meet at Edinburgh, for the purpose of con- sidering the agricultural distresses of the country, and the means of relieving them ; and a meeting of the General Committee Was held at the Waterloo Hotel, on Monday the - 23d of December, 1822, the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, Bart, in the chair, when he had laid before that Committee, a report drawn up by a Sub Committee, appointed by a former general meeting on the ,16th of December, which consisted of the following members : The Earl of Roseberrv, Lord Belhaven, Sir Henry Sleuart, Bart, of A Man ton, John Vans Agnew, Esq. of Sheuchan, Gilbert Laing Mason, Esq. of Lindertis, George Robertson Scott, Esq. of Benholm, and Sir John Sinclair, the Chairman. After some discussion, the following report was unanimously approved of:—- REPORT. The Sub. Committee beg leave to express the opi- nions they hiive formed on tlse important subject referred to them in the following order : — I. That one great cause of the present agricultural distress arises from the rapid alteration that took place in the currency, in consequence of the act 59 Geo. HI b. 49. which has increased the real value of all money payments, rendered the prices of all the productions of the soil disproportionally low, and occasioned a want of a sufficient circulating medium in the country; thereby augmenting, to a great degree, the heavy pressure of taxation, and of other burdens affecting those classes who are now suffering-; and hence that many persons who have entered into money engagements are involved in obligation's which they cannot fulfil without ruin to themselves and their families. IT. That if the provision of the sa: kl act ( 59 Geo. III. e. 49 ) by which " all the restrictions on pay- ments in cash shall finally cease and determine on tlie 1st of May, 1823," be carried into effect, it is likely greatly to aggravate the severe distress now existing; and thai Parliament, therefore, should be petitioned, to direct their earliest attention to that enactment. III. That the hardships and disadvantages re- sulting from the sudden alteration in the currency before mentioned, appear to the Committee to have been considerably increased, by the concurrent operation of the coinage act ( 58 Geo. III. c. 68.), by which, in consequence of the regulations for the silver coinage, gold is made the sole legal tender fur. payments, except to the amount of forty shillings. IV. That a remission of taxation, as far as is consistent with the public safety and interests, and with the preservation of the national faith ; ami ( where practicable) the substitution of taxes, which would press more equally upon tlie whole community, in the room of some which are severely felt by those whose incomes ( now greatly reduced) are derived! from land, would be a great source of relief. V. That it would be very desirable to have country banks established in England and Ireland, on prin- ciples similar to those adopted in Scotland, which, by augmenting- the circulation, and placing it 011 a footing of security, would confer an essential benefit, upon every part of the United Kingdom, whose in- terests are now so closely combined. VI. That although the Committee do not venture to recommend, in the present situation of the country, that any fresh provisions should be introduced into the corn laws, as now established, they are of opinion that the, pertnission to Warehouse foreign grain in this kingdom has an effect very prejudicial to the wholesome and intended operation of those laws. VII. That by improvements in the distillery laws, an adequate reduction of the duty on spirits, and more freedom of the trade, a much larger consump- Tavern, Blackheatb, to inquire into the death of the above unfortunate - gentleman, who was shot by a robber on the morning of Sunday, tbe 22d nit. Previous to examining witnesses, Mr. Carfar ob- served, that he had taken the deposition of Mrs. Smith at her house, which she had sworn to before the Jurors. , , Mrs. Jemima STinith, widow of the deceased, sworn.— On Sunday morning, the 22d instant, I was in. bed with my husband in our usual sleeping room, and was awoke by a very strange noise in or about the house. Being unable to understand what it was, I awoke my husband, who was fast asleep, and told him my suspicions, when he immediately got up, put on his coat, and went into the adjoining room ; I followed him as fast as I could, but before I could get into the room, I heard him raise the sash of the window, and at the same moment I heard the report of a gun or pistol. The deceased immediately screamed out and said, u I am shot I 1 am shot through the heart!" He then walked into the bed- room, and I observed a great deal of blood had flowed from the vyoutid he had received, as well as in. the room where be was shot. He presently told j PAWNBROKERS. Pawnbrokers first began in this country so early as the year 1457, but the business was noE established by law previous to 1784, wheti* it appearing to the legislature that lending money ire small sums on pawns or pledges would prove extremely convenient to the lower order of traders? and others, a Statute was made containing such regulations as to them appeared expedient land necessary ; having in view, on the one hand, to protect the borrower against imposition or extortion for unreasonable demands of interest, money, & ca and on the other, to secure to the pawnbroker a remuneration adequate to the risque, trouble, and expense of carrying on the said business. This Statute, like many other new legislative enactments when they come to be applied, was not found quite competent to the purposes for which it was de- signed, and the subject fell again under the con- sideration of Parliament in 1776, 1/ 96, and lastly in 1800, when the Act how in force ( via! the 39tli and 40th Geo. 3d, cap. 90) was passed. In this Act the interests both of the pawnbroker and the borrower have been fairly attended to, and a proper regard has also been had to the security of the community, by imposing on the pawnbroker certain necessary rules and restrictions to be me he had seen a man in the garden, who must have .1,,, u- u u « • 1 , • ,1 1 1 • > 1 ,1 observed 111 the exercise 01 his or her business, to discharged a gun or pistol at him, and also another * man under the •• window at which he was wounded, and that both ran awav. lie said he did hot know either of thein, but one appeared to be dressed in a pepper and salt coat. Alarm was immediately given in the neighbourhood, and proper medical assistance was obtained. The deceased languished from the time he was wounded until Saturday night last, and then expired. RobertPapworth, about 14 years of age, servant to the deceased— was awoke by a noise, but whether it was a report of a pistol or not he could not say; he jumped out of bed, and tooking out of the window into the garden, saw an object in the shape of a man standing a short distance from the wasbhonse ; he hallooed to him, and the object disappeared. Thomas Haw- ley*. a watchman near the- spot, heard the report of the pistol, but on his cross- examination he admitted that it. was ten minutes from the time he check, as far as the nature of the business will permit, the disposal of goods stolen, illegally- obtained, or offered to be pledged without the privity or consent of the owner or owners thereof. Of the laws which regulate the business of a pawnbroker, however, very incorrect notions are every where entertained by those whom it most concerns to know, a portion of the pawnbrokers themselves only excepted; and to this ignorance much of the mischief consequent on the business is attributable. In proof of this assertion, we may refer to a paragraph lately inserted in several of the Dublin Journals, for the information of the public, and founded on an argument used by Counsellor Finlay in a case against a pawnbroker of that city, by which it was ascertained, that " 110 pawnbroker was entitled to charge interest as a pawnbroker upon , .... ^ '" J^' .

The Coroner told him he was not fit for his situ- ation, and he would take care to have him dis- charged. Mr. C. Rose, a surgeon, of Coldbath- row, Green- wich, was called to the deceased, who told him that he had been wounded by. some thieves that had at- tempted to break into his cottage.-— Witness found a gun shot wound in the biceps muscle of deceased's left arm. The deceased mentioned the name/ of Coleman the whole of the night, and several times the next day. A man named Coleman is now iu custody on suspicion of being concerned iu the atrocious deed. Deceased said, he saw two persons in the garden, one standing nude'' the window, in a pepper and salt, coloured coiit, and the other was about ten yards from tlie window, in. the dress of a blacksmith ; he said the person that slvot him put his hand before his face, as if to disguise hiuiseif.

DEATH OF TJIK MAKQUIS OF DROGIIEDA.— This venerable Kobleman departed this life on the • 22d ult. at his house in Sackviile- street, in the 94th year of his age. His Lordship's titles were, Marquis and Earl of Drogheda, Viscount Moore, Barou Mellefont, ( Baron Moore, of Moore- place, Kent, in England,) Constable of Maryborough Fort, Governor and Custos Rotuloruni of the Kino's and Queer's County, and the County of Meath, Trustee of the Linen Manufacture, and one of the original Knights of the Order of St. Patrick. His Lordship was also a Field Marshal, and. the oldest General in his Majesty's service. He raised the 19th Dragoons in the year 1762, since, which time he commanded it until its re- duction last year. His Lordship was married in the year 1776 to Lady Anne Seymour, eldest daughter of Francis, Marquis of Hertford, K.

An invitation was at the same time given to every English sea officer, on the terms of receiving a pro* motion of a step above the grade he held in his own service. To English sailors the expense of their passage and £ 3 sterling of pay per month were offered. In consequence of the additional expense to which the High Sheriff must he subjected by third Gaol delivery, the Grand Jury of the County of Essex, previous to separating last week, took the matter into consideration, and came to reso- lutions to the effect—" That it is highly desirable that individuals who are called upon to execute the important office of High Sheriff, should be relieved from the very heavy expenditure to which they are at present subject; that the adoption of a third gaol delivery, as it must tend still farther, and materially to increase the charges incident to the Office, renders it more particularly expedient to take the subject into consideration without further delay, and that for this purpose a meeting of Ma- gistrates, and other Gentlemen of the county, who feel anxious to relieve the Sheriff from so heavy a burden in future, be convened at the Shireliall, at Chelmsford." A letter from Frankfort, of the 22d ult. states, that the house of Rothschild, of that city, had forwarded to Petersburg!! six millions of florins in ingots of gold.

The Meeting then resolved, that a copy of the proceedings of this day be transmitted to the Convener of every county in Scotland, with a request, that he shall take the earliest opportunity in his power of calling a county meeting, to take the same into its immediate consideration. On the motion of Lord Sueeoth, seconded by the Honourable Lieutenant General Duff, the thanks of the Meeting were voted to the Sub- committee, for having conducted the business referred to them with so much zeal, prudence, and ability. Upon the thanks being voted to the Chairman, he expressed his great satisfaction that the business had been brought to so happy a conclusion, and his full conviction, if the proceedings of that day were acted upon energetically, by the counties of Scotland, that consequences highly useful to the country at large might be confidently relied on. He particularly alluded to the plan of making silver, jointly with gold, a legal tender, by means of which alone, owing to the low price of silver ( 4s. lid. per ounce), compared to its mint price ( 5s. 6d. per ounce), an addition would be made at the rate of nearly 12 percent, to the prices of all agricultural productions; and another most important, object, an increase of circulation, would likewise be obtained-, for the issuers of paper money would be enabled to maintain in circulation a larger amount, when, instead of being compelled to pay exclusively in gold at £ 3. 17s. lOjd. per ounce, they could, in their option, pay in silver, at the_ rate of 5s. 6d. per ounce. He added, that either silver alone, or jointly wiih gold, had been a legal tender in this country, from the most ancient periods of its history, till the Bank restriction and the coinage act of 1816, when, for the first time, gold was made exclusively^ except for payments under forty shillings, the standard of value. was of a very large size, and apptnired,- to he a musket ball. cipat sum of ten pounds" It is worthy of notice that in a city where the pawnbrokers, from their number, the extent of their capital, and the wants of a large indigent population, are in the receipt of profits . to any aggregate amount of at least a hundred thousand pounds per annum, this plain restrictive principle of a statute, that during a period of thirty four years had undergone no modification whatever, should have been scarcely known until thus made public on the authority of Counsel, and that the right of the pawnbroker to an interest of 25 per Cent, on loans of twenty, fifty, and a hundred pounds, had never before beeu questioned.

Ti ^^^ , ^ sr^^ 0'^ xvii^ dead on Monday morning, with his frequently communicated with him during his illness, hni he never divulged who was his murderer all i he said was, " that he was a blacksmith- looking chap." Verdict— That the deceased had been inhumanly murdered by some, person or persons at present unknown. The inquiry commenced at two o'clock, and did not terminate till seven. Coleman, the man suspected of the murder, was apprehended on Thursday - lust, in consequence of his having been seen in Lewisham, with a centre- hit and stick in his possession, 011 the afternoon of Satur- day previous to the murder being committed. He was also drinking at half past twelve o'clock on that, night, at the Black Horse public- honse, at Rushy Gteen, about two miles beyond Mr. Smith's house! His account - of himself w hen he was appre- hended was given in such a questionable manner, that the Magistrates ordered him to be remanded. Coleman is by trade a blacksmith. The reward of £ 100 has been increased to £ 300, for the apprehension of the perpetrator of the horrid deed. On Saturday the following case wa$ brought forward, at Bow- street Office, which Sir R. Eirnie and Mr. Miushull declared to be of great import ance to parishes and parish officers :— The mother of an illegitimate child born in St. Clement Danes, applied for parochial relief for her infant, as the parish officers took £ 30 from the father of the * diild for its support. The parish officers, attended by their solicitor, admitted having received thirty pounds from the father, but still refused to ad- vance any more money to the mother, as they were willing to take the. child ( a female) into their establishment at Hendon, where they had accom- modation for 100 female children, of all ages above two years. The mother of the infant still wished to have charge of it, as it was only two years and a half old. Sir R. Birnie said, that he never saw a cleaner nursery for infants than at Hendon ; but he and Mr. Minshull declared the conduct of the parish officers was quite iltecjat in taking a round sum for an illegitimate child. The solici- hands and face upon the floor of the room, and the lower part of his body on the bed. Perhaps we never had to record the death of a more singular character, he having been one of those " Who meanly stob— discreditable shift 1— From hack and belly too,. their proper cheer." For a number of years he had . been on the superannuated list of Excise Officers, and bad lived, it is supposed, on less than eighteen peace per week, for a length of time; as to his clothing, it had cost him nothing for a great number of years, except in thread, to mend them with, ami shoes ( he being noted for wearing good shoes) ; but, as for the other part of his dress, its worth did not amount to three farthings! he not having had a new coat for 43 yeaisl!!— lie was possessed of a public- house and seveiat tenements in'Derby. Some time since Mr. Cunningham, of Craigeods, engaged with another gentleman, tor a wager of 20 guineas, that he would, on horseback, leap over the canal btlwpfu Gtapauw and Paisley. Re was to have his own day, and his own choosing of I he ground, and the wealher beinjj extremely inviting; on Tuesday week the parties met to see the exploit performed. After riding up and down for some time, a piece of ground was fixed npon, about a mile 011 the east side of Paisley, called Cook's Ridge. Mr. Cunningham then put his horse in motion, and accomplished tire feat w ith ease. The spirited animal went fo. itr feet over the canal, which being 1) feel. hroad at the place, made 15 feel of a leap in the whole. ANFCDOTF OF THE LATE loan M.

I: SHEW.— At the Tredegar Exhibition on Tuesday last, the shew of live stock in the yard was not so large as last year, being deficient more especially iu the Hereford breed ; hut there were some very tine specimens of short- horned cattle, amongst which a most beauti- ful yearling heifer, the property of the Rev. Mr, Berry, of Worcestershire, attracted universal ad miration. Most of the principal gentlemen in the centre and south- western parts of the county at- tended tlie exhibition, and a company consisting of between 70 and 80 persons afterwards dined to- gether at an ordinary at the King's Head Inn, Newport ; but we believe little, if anv, of the stock was sold. Sir Charles Morgan, when pro- ceeding to announce the adjudication of the prizes after dinner, took occasion to express the pleasure he ( VIt at seeing in the room several very eminent breeders from different parts of the kingdom, and at being surrounded by gentlemen of the county animated by the same motive w hich had led him to institute the shew, namely, the encouragement of agriculture in tile county of Monmouth, and in the Principality generally, by the oiler of premiums in different departments of that most interesting science. As far as we could understand, the ob- jects for w hich prizes had been so liberally bestow ed on this occasion by Kir Charles Morgan and other gentlemen, were declared subjects of competition for the ensuing year, with the addition of silver cups offered by Mr Homfray, for fat Scotch cattle; by Mr. Bailey, for the best crop of turnips ( not less than five acres); by Mr. Moggridge, for the two- year old ram best calculated for the hill- farms of Monmouthshire; and by Mr. Hall, for the best pen of hill- ewes, At the suggestion of a member of the Bath and West of England Society present, Sir Charles Morgan announced that next year the exhibition would take place on the Friday of the week corresponding to the present, in order that there might be no interference with the annual meeting of that society Mr. Champion and Mr. Tidmarsh were amongst the judges, and between them, Mr. Yarworth, Mr Bury, Mr. White ( of Upleadon) and other gentlemen, occasional dis- cussion on the merits of particular breeds of cattle took place, supported, by offers of sweepstakes; several of w hicli were accepted and arc to be decided next year. I some tor for the parish admitted this ; but added, such ! instances on the parties themselves, to open the was their peculiar situation, that unless they took a round sunt, in a few weeks they could not find out the father, as nine times out often they eluded the vigilance of the parish officers; It was finally settled that Is. fid. a week was to be paid to the mother for the support of her infant. The TpswicJi Jnurnul contains the following -.— " A robbery of 420 coombs of wheat was effected last week at Siliton. Mr. White, the proprietor, a few days after received the sacks, with a note, containing the'following lines:— u We have got your wheat, And you can't find it; ' Twas a famous wind That help'd to grind it." OaDER of Onn Fr. Li. owtt.— It having been lately attempted, by a Benefit Society ( the Free Manchester), to exclude one of its Members, on the ground that he belonged to the above Order, and had received donations from the Lodges of the Order, at the time he was receiving the allowance of the Benefit Society for sickness, the question was brought before the Justices, at the New Bailey Court House, in Salford, when they decided, that the matter in question ( agreeably to a rule of the said Benefit Society) be left to the arbitration of six Members of different Benefit Societies, or Siek Clubs. An appointment of arbitrators, qualified as before stated, did accordingly take place, when they unanimously decided, a that a person belong- ing to the Order of Odd Fellows w as thereby in no way ( under the Act of Parliament in that ease made and provided) rendered incompetent to be a Member of any Benefit Society, or Sick Club.'' It mav, at the same time, be observed, that, although, the tried expulsion, and consequent pro ceedings, in some measure originated in private spleen, and was supported hv expelled Odd Fel. lows, it has settled a point in which many worthy Members of this and other Institutions were seriously interested.— Manchcsler Gazette. A few days ago, a carrier of Hindon was fined in the mitigated penalty of £ 32, his wife having lent his horse to a friend, and taken money for the loan. cases, which they did with various abilities, and his Lordship actually tried nearly 20 causes; observing, on leaving the Court, that if there had not been so much talking, he believed full as milch justice had been done, as if the gentlemen of the long robe had been present. About 1750, a merchant of Cleves. named Jorissen, who had become almost totally deaf, silting one day near a harpsichord while some person was playing, and having a tobacco- pipe in his mouth, the bowl of which rested accidentally against the body of the instrument, he was agreeably and unexpectedly surprised to hear all the notes iu the must distinct mannei. By a little reflection and practice he again obtained the use of this valuable sense, which, as Bonnee says, connects us with the moral world : for lie soon learned by means of a piece of hard wood, one end of which he placed against his teeth, to keep up a conversation, and to be able to understand the least whisper. His son afterwards made this beneficial disco- cry the subject of an inaugural dissertation, published at Halle, in 1754. Perolle has given some excellent observations ou the capability of hard bodies to conduct sound, in the Memoirs of the Acndeviy of Turin, for 1790 and 1701. The effect is the same if the person who speaks rests the stick against his throat or his breast; or when one rests the stick which he holds in his teeth against some vessel into which the other speaks.
