THE COROIAIR BALM OF ZURA; OR, PIKEN1X OF LIFE, And Grand Reanimalor of Nature: Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, at Dr. LAMERT's London Medical Establishment, Queen- square, Bristol. FEMALE COMPLAINTS. The nutritive and cleansing Powers of the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, are peculiarly adupted to the Delicacy of the Female Habit and Constitution, under those necessary Operations, designed by the Great Creator, for tbe Preservation of Health, the Continuation of the Human Species, and the Felicity of Domestic Existence. It removes those Obstruc- tions, which too often nip in tbe Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. It promotes tbe Secretions, and preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports in those import- ant and peculiar Periods, Puberty, Maturity, and the Change of Life: for tbe want'of which, many of thoselovely, interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sink into an untimely Grave. The most sovereign Remedy yet found, is in the exalted and inestimable Virtues of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life ; the greatest Restorative of ex- hausted Nature: by a due Perseverance in which, the whole Muscular Fibres become invigorated, all tbe Solids which were relaxed, are braced, every Office of Nature is properly performed. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Cordial Balm of Zurn, or Plia- nix of Life, possesses Powers which almost exceed Credibility, in restoring languid Na- ture, and invigorating the whole Constitution. THE PUBLIC are respectfully infornt- 1 ed, that the UNIVERSAL RE- CEIPT- BOOK, or FAMILY LtBRA- IIY, containing more than 5000 useful and approved Receipts on all subjects, is now on Sale at every Bookseller's shop within the circuit of this paper. The price is 10s. 6d. bound in plain red or blue, or 12s. calf gilt; and the economy and importance of the work will be felt when it is stated, that no one former work of the same kind contains more than a tenth of the articles to be found in this volume. ^ aless is? SUictton. FREEHOLETPROPERTY. COLD BATHING. Nothing is more conducive lo Health than tlie frequent Use of the Cold Bath, when not taken to Excess ; a single Immersion will answer every Pur- pose ; for remaining too long in tbe Water is very injurious. Judiciously pursued, it braces tbe Fibres, mid in every Period of Life gives Tone and Vigour to tbe Body, it enables the vital Organs to perform their Functions, it hardens the Frame against Cold, Damp; aud changeable Weather, and restrains ex- cessive Perspirations. Sea Water, for stimulating, cleansing, and bracing tbe Nerves, is fur preferable to River Water for any Debility. To prevent auv ill Sensation aficr Bathing', such as Trembling, Pain in the Stomach, Cramp, Giddiness, or Head- Ache, take a Table spoonful of the Cordial Biilm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, Half an Hour before Bathing, which will comfort the Intestines, throw u warm Glow over the whole Frame, and create an excellent Appetite with a good Digestion.

DR. LAMENT, in recommending the celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phoenix of Life, to a discriminating Public, disdains the Idea of following theSteps of tliose Precursors, who, by a vain Display of a little Learning, and a great deal of Ingenuity, mislead the Public ; a Truth too frequently exemplified by Pretenders to Science in the present Day. Actuated by a spirit of genuine Philanthropy, he feels it his highest Gratification to announce, that iu the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, he possesses the means of alleviating, and by due Perseverance, of completely annihilating those insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment, but sap the very Foundation of our Existence, and involve the Patient in a Vortex of premature, but unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely hy such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested^ Dr. L. cannot but ensure ihe Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance he takes his stand, and invites the Suffering to com and be healed. TO DR. LAMERT. DEAR SIR,— I am happv to inform you, that your Medicine is doing Wonders with my old Gouty Limbs. At first I was afraid I should he disap- pointed, as I had been before in the Trial of innu- merable Medicines, but I was soon convinced 1 was " Reckoning without my Host," my Knees began to look less and less inflamed, and the Swelling greatly ubsided ; but O ! what a Relief did I experience in my Ancles : sometimes they felt as though they were pressed together with Wedges; now, they swell but very little, and the Pain is a Heaven to the Tortures used to feel. The Perspiration used to roll in Torrents from my Forehead, from the excessive Agonies I felt; but now, if I am afraid of a slight Return, I immediately have Recourse to your truly divine Zura! when, like the Angel of Mercy, it nmediately either wards off the detestable Enemy entirely, or mitigates its Attacks. You know it is but " Young Days" with us yet, and I cannot expect to get well all at once, but if I improve as 1 have these last three Weeks, I feel quite assured that the Monster of now nearly twenty- two Years standing, almost incessant in its Visitation, will be totally destroyed. So many Friends have been to visit me in Consequence of what we all call a won derful Recovery, that I am sure you will not want for any Recommendation; and believe me, my dear Sir, that the first Journey I make from my House, these last six Years, shall be to thank you for the Blessing you have conferred on, Dear Sir, yours, J. W. WILKINSON, Circus, Bath. ITS VIRTUES. u Like one condemned to leap a precipice, " Aud sees before his eyes the depths below, " Stops short, and looks about for one kind shrub " To break his dreadful fall ; so I look here 44 For friendly aid against the fears of death." The CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA, or Phoenix of Life, forms the most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Medicine in the whole Materia Medica. It is prepared from an Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- ling that of the English Whitethorn ; and was the Result of the Labours of the renowned Rembert Dodoeus^ Physician lo the Turkish Emperor and his 11arem. In 1578, a most splendid Case of this in, valuable Cordial was sent by the Sultan to Queen Elizabeth, and was taken by her Majesty as a noble ItenoVator of the whole System. It has been found by a most extensive and respectable private Practice, to be the most efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening the Nerves, removing all Obstructions in the Stomach and Lungs, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spirits, strengthening the Memory, promoting Digestion, dispelling Flatulencies, dis- persing the Heartburn and Choleric Affections, pre- vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removes Scorbutic Eruptions as well as Scrofula, and is of the highest Distinction in Gouty and Rheumatic Disorders. It vivifies the Spinal Marrow, and restores the Frame lo Health and pristine Vigour. NERVOUS DISORDERS. In the tremendous catalogue of Diseases incidental to Mankind, those of the Nervous Description ar the most complicate and difficult to cure. They resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two Persons are affected in a similar Manner; they are continually changing their Action, Shape, and Con- dition, while, under every fresh Attack, the Patient feels some Symptoms he never before experienced Thus the Mind often becomes a Prey to the most fatal Apprehensions, while the diseased Imagination forges those wild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt aud distress the Brain. 44 The Sun as it. were goes down ou ihe Heart, aud the Shadows of the Evenin close in on the Soul!" Such are the sad Thought aud distressing Feelings which agitate that real Object of Commiseration, a Nervous Patient. To such, what a Treasure will be found in the Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phoenix of Life! The vital Prin- ciple, under its divine Operation, like the fabled Phoenix, springs from the Embers of a decayed Con stitution, and rises to Happiness and Life, Reani- mated, Renovated, and Et/ terealised.

A Woman came, the Day before yesterday, to purchase another Bottle of it; and stated that her Husband had been confined to his Bed for six Months, and was given over by the. Faculty; hut, by taking- large Bottle, he is so recovered as to have been down Stairs three Times, and lias no doubt but he will be a living Testimony to the Efficacy of the BALM' OF ZURA.

DEAR SIR,— For the Benefit of those of my own Sex, who are so unfortunate as to he in ihe unhappy State I was in before Ijook your Ploughman's Drops, I think it my Duty to inform you, that, iu February, 1798, I was taken so very ill that I was confined to my Bed upwards of six Weeks ; growing still weake my Father applied to a Professional Gentleinan, wh used the utmost Skill for two Years, when I was nearly worn out, and expected daily the Hand of Death would relieve me, when I vvas advised to trv the Infirmary; and I used the Medicines of that benevolent Institution for 12 Months, hut without the least Benefit. My Father was then recommended to take me to ( he Salt Water, which he complied with ; but this Experiment only added to my Sorrow, for I grew weaker and weaker. In this lingering State, Application was made to an eminent Physf- ci. au, under whose Prescriptions I remained two Years more, nearly at Death's Door; when most providentially hearing of a Person in my unfortunate Situation having heen cured by Dr. SMITH, I applied to you, worthy Sir, and after taking one large Bottle of your inestimable Ploughman's Drops, I found ( blessed be God!) an Increase of Strength, could eat my Victuals with a good Appetite, and slept sound I v: I may truly say I had not experienced a good Night's Sleep for five Years; but I now became quite cheerful, a Comfort to myself and Friends, and alter taking only three Bodies I was restored to my former Health, and continue so at this present Moment. Out of. Gratitude, dear Sir, you are at Liberty to publish this in whatever Manner you please. I am, vour's, ELIZABETH GRIFFITHS. April 3, 1807.

The Savings Banks and Friendly Societies in England and Ireland have eight millions aud a half deposited in Government funds. PILCHARD FISHERY.— Last Saturday, large shoals of pilchards being observed in St. Ives Bay, the seatis were shot, and such quantities enclosed, that several days were required to land all the fish : 5,900 hhds. are supposed- to have been taken since Saturday, hy far the largest catch of the season. The Monnt's- Bay scans have also been very suc- cessful: the driving boats took, the vteek before last, 1000 hhds. iu one night. WEST INDIES.— Government appears to he fully aware of the necessity of ameliorating the condition of the negroes. Much benefit has been derived by these persons from the labours of ( he Wesleyan Missionaries. Not many years since, these Missionaries met with severe persecution from the leading proprietors in tbe West Indies ; the intentions of these useful men were, perhaps,- mis - understood; and it might appear a dangerous ex- periment to offer the advantages of education to tho? e who were in a state of personal bondage. But il is a positive fact, well known to every person connected with West India affairs, that on those plantations to which the Missionaries have had free access, the slaves have become obedient and willing servants, and the sound of the lash is almost un- known. The negroes on these estates are, in their turn, treated kindly by their masters. But far different are the effects to be seen where these Missionaries have not had such access. The poor negroes are sulky, and will not work unless when compelled. Such facts have not escaped the atten- tion of the Government at home ; and we learn from good authority, that so fully are Minister?' impressed with the necessity of imparting religious instruction to the slaves in our West India colonies, that they have applied lo the Wesleyan Missionary Committee for fifty young men to be sent as Missionaries to the West Indies. Agreeably to tbe resolutions of that body, these Missionaries are to be under the direction of the Committee, to whom the Government is to make some allowance for their support. TRIALS UNDER THE INSURRECTION ACT,— Our report of some trials wVich took place tinder the Insurrection Act, in the County of Limerick, will be found to possess extraordinary interest. The persons who attacked Mr. Nunan of this city, as recorded in a former publication, and treated him with such savage barbarity, have heen brought to trial and convicted. This, in the present state of things, is rather a novel occurrence, and one which we trust may have an effect proportioned to its singularity. There are one or t wo subordinate . circumstances con- nected with this transaction which are deserving of particular attention. One of the ruffians, who had been particularly active in this atrocious outrage, Was audacious enough actually to appear upon the Court House table as a witness ou behalf of the prisoners— he was instantly recognised bv Mr. Nunan, inform- ations were immediately sworn, be was tried at the next sitting of the Court, and, we rejoice, to add, was sentenced to be transported. The defence attempted to be established on the part of the prisoners was an alibi, to support which, many witnesses were ex- amined, and the impression which their testimony created in the minds of the Magistrates may he col- lected from their solemn and unanimous opinion announced hy Mr, Blackburne, the presiding Coun- sel. He said 44 that they were in conscience com- pelled to believe that fifteen or sixteen of these witnesses had been guilty of deliberate perjury." Good Heavens! what a state of society this is— an unoffending and defenceless stranger, travelling through a' populous country, in the open day, is attacked by a mob of lawless and merciless monslers — aud when they are brought before a legal tribunal, a host of wretches come forward and solemnly appeal to the Almighty to witness that which they must, he conscious is utterly false. We are quite certain that such an example of the total absence of religion, of mo la I feeling, of humanity— of all that renders civil- ization preferable to barbarism, could not he found iu any country on the globe but Ireland.— Cor/ c Ad- vertiser. A gentleman lately arrived from the South informs us, that the few resident gentry and principal farmers are obliged to fasten up their doors and windows at six o'clock in the evening, and remain with their arms loaded, ready for defence, until about six or seven next morning. Who that could leave such a country would remain 24 hours under such circum- stances?— Thank Heaven! this is not the case with us; and. indeed, in addition, the peaceable disposi- tion of the people, the tranquillity of this part of the kingdom, is much owing to the number and respect- ability of our resident gentry who employ so many of the poor,— Carlow Morning Post. BRITISH HUMANITY — On Saturday morning, about half- past eight, the Swedish brig Amphion Appelberg, Master, bound from Stockholm to Havre de Grace, with a cargo of deals, iron, & c. was driven ashore, between the Circular Redoubt and Dym- church, having parted from her anchors during the very heavy gale from ihe south west ( then, in some degree, subsided), and almost immediately fell ou her beam ends in a terrible surf. The crew consisted of eight persons, with one passenger, who placed them- selves ou the vessel's side, imploring that assistance which it appeared almost impossible to bestow with sufficient promptitude. The Officers of the Coast Blockade got a boat from a station at some distance and, at the most imminent peril of their lives, from the tremendous surf, Lieut. Dyhall, of the Royal Navy, accompanied by four seamen, put off to the vessel, which they were not able, unfortunatelv, to reach, the boat having heen upset at some consider- able distance. The spectators, to the number of 40, headed by Mr. Brooman, Mr. Gilson, & c. of the Coast Blockade, linked their hands together, aud ihus entering the surf, succeeded in getting the Lieu- tenant and his brave fellows ashore, whither the boat, was driven some time afterwards ; when Lieutenant Dyhall, having heen disabled by a very severe con- tusion on the right side ( struck by the boat . in cap- sizing), his place was taken by Mr. Collins, Ad- miralty Midshipman, who had just succeeded in reaching the vessel, when a tremendous sea took the boat, carried away three of their four oars, and dashed them, to the horror of the spectators, amidst the breakers to the leeward of their object. Here the seamanship and coolness of Mr. Collins excited the highest admiration : he deliberately tore up a waste board of the boat, and, using it as a paddle, assisted by the one remaining oar, brought the boat out of the breakers safely ou shore. Bv this, time several seafaring" people from Sandgate had arrived at the spot, who, assisted by Mr. Knott, of Hythe, with a waggon and harness, procured a galley from that, place, and, on its arrival, it was immediately manned by six able hands of Sandgate. The blockade boat was again most gallantly manned hy Mr. Collins and the men, and put off at the same time. The supe- riority in size of the Sand- gate boat enabled them tirst to reach the vessel, and they brought safely on shore seven of the nine persons. Mr. Coilins quickly fol- lowed with the remaining two, amidst ihe plaudits of a number of persons there coi leered, who alone can duly estimate the dangers braved, and the, devoted gallantry of their conduct. The .' Swedes Were con- veyed to the Swan Inn, Hvthe, where every kindness aud attention was snanifested towards them. LON DON,— SATURDAY. An express arrived from Paris this forenoo n * bringing papers of Thursday morning and evening. The Jourrtat des Dehats contains an article, im- portant because it may he regarded as an official declaration, on the part of the French Government, of its views with regard to Spain It would seem that the Decrees of Port St. Mary, Xeres, and Seville, which excited so much consternation in Spain, and so' much alarm in LotuUv. i and Paris, among the holders of Spanish Bonds, have ( as we were enabled to announce in'our last Postscript) already been modified.—- The language employed by the French paper referred to is as follows:— 44 What we can already assure our readers is, that, the Councils of ihe Kino- and those of the Prince have obtained a happy influence, and have ' produced consoling results ; ii is, that the decrees of Port St. Mary, Xeres, and Seville— decrees imprudently conceded to passions, which the Revolutionists, had cruelly provoked— have already been modified by the counsels of a more calm and generous policy." The next important topic is the Convention for regulating the " Military relations between France and Spain, 1' which is described as in course of ar- rangement 3 and, continues the same paper— 41 This Convention, dictated by common interest, Will he circumscribed as to time, and regulated as to manner, so as 10 indicate beforehand its object and its termination. The conditions, without being burdensome to, France, will he so advantageous to Spain, that our liberated neighbours wiil only see in it an additional benefit." It is further announced* that a general delibera- tion of Congress in reference to the States of South America is contemplated; and the probable inter- vention of the European Powers in the affairs of Greece is hinted at. An article, dated Frankfort, Oct. 22, states that the Emperors, of Russia and Austria had an inter- view ou the 6th of that mouth at CZernowitZ. There is no further news in these papers. This morning the Sitoile of yesterday also reached town bv express. Advices from Seville announce that the ' Kiug of Spain was in that city on the ' 20th ult. The fortress of Pehsecola has submitted. The squadron that was before Cadi: under the command of Vice- Admiral Dupefre, has arrived at Brest. The Hon. Mr. Elliott, attached to Sir William A'Court, arrived last night at the Foreign- office in Downing- street. lie brought dispatches, announc- tha. t Ferdinand had consented to ratify the Convention concluded with this Country in March last, by the Constitutional Governihent, for indem- nifying the losses sustained by the. British mer- chants, iu consequence of captures made by Spanish privateers. Here, then, is one specific and important modi- fication of the sweeping Decree issued by Ferdinand from Port St. Mary, 011 the 1st of October, which annulled all and every act drine between the 7th of March, 1820, and the 1st of October, 1823. We think, therefore, it may be confidently anticipated that it, as well as the subsequent Decrees, will undergo further modifications upon the representa- tions of England and France. We learn from the French Papers that Barce- lona, with llostalricht and Tarragona, have surrendered. Mina has submitted and sworn allegiance to Ferdinand ; so that the war may be considered as ended. — Accounts from Bay 011 ne state that Riego had been found poisoned iu his prison. We i egret to learn, by accounts from various parts of the coast, that immense and calamitous loss was occasioned among- the shipping by the storm of Thursday night. On Tuesday, Sir Christopher Poller, the new Chief Justice of Calcutta, had an audience of leave of his Majesty previous to his departure for India, Sir Christopher and Lady Puller,- with their family, will embark in one of the Company's ships in the course of next week.— A grand entertainment was given by the Directors of the India House on Wed- nesday, to the newly appointed Judge, at which a numerous party of distinguished individuals were present. Intelligence has been received of the death of Charles Grant, Esq. the East India Director. He did not retire to ri st until about four o'clock yes- terday morning, and at six he was a corpse. His disorder was spasms in the stomach 3 his medical attendant and butler were the only persons in the house at the time, Mrs. Grant and family having of lute resided at Dart ford, in Kent. Mr. Grant was upwards of 80 years of age^ atnl so recently as six o'clock 011 Thursday evening was officially en gaged at the East India House. The Dublin Journal states that on Sunday, about half past one o^ clocfc, the Lord Mayor and Sheriff Pen- in entered a public house in North King- street, where they surprised upwards of one hundred and twenty men, about seventy of whom made their escape; fifty one were found secreted in various parts of the house, and seven on the roof. Great resistance was made before they could be secured, which was not effected till the Military Guard Mationed at Newgate came to his Lord ship's assistance.— It is not yet ascertained what the object of so numerous an assemblage could have been in one house. The persons committed arc principally from the neighbourhood of Glaus wevin, Finglass Bridge, and St. Margaret's. SHREWSBURY. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1S23. On Saturday night last, the counting- house of Charles Lawrence, Esq. Mayor of Liverpool, was entered, and the drawers rifled of about £ 380 in notes and cash, and several bills of exchange, the whole amounting to upwards of £ 3000. The thieves so ingeniously avoided exterior violence as to prove they are adepts iiHheir profession. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 30.— The King v. Harvey and another.— This was an informa- tion filed by the Attorney General against Daniel Whittle Harvey ( late Member of Parliament for Colchester) and John- Chapmiln, the one as the pro- prietor, and the other as the printer of The Sunday Times newspaper, for publishing in that paper, on the 9th of February last, " a false, scandalous, and malicious libel, of and concerning the King, intend- ing to cause it to be believed that his Majesty was afflicted with mental derangement."'' The defendants pleaded not guilty. The case excited Considerable interest, and the Court was crowded to excess. The Attorney Genera! conducted the prosecution and • read the libel to the Jury, and having commented upon it, he produced the necessary evidence of publication.— Mr. Den man addressed the Jury at great length on behalf of Mr. Chapman, and he was followed by Mr. Brougham ou behalf of M r. D. W. Harvey. The Attorney General replied. The Lord Chief Justice declared hisopinion, that the paragraph was a libel, and the Jury, after'much consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The King v. Trust.—' This defendant, oue of Car liie1 ® admirers, was found guilty of publishing Palmer's Principles of Nature, a publication of a blasphemous description. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Oct. 30.— Jones v Shau).—' This was a special jury case. The de- fendant, Mr. Shaw, kept a Boarding- school, at Bowes, near Greta Bridge, iu Yorkshire, the annual charge for each scholar being only £ 21, including a classical • education', arithmetic, geography, board, lodging, aud clothing! Mr. Jones, (" the plaintiff',) who keeps a public- house in Fetter- lane, sent two of his soiis to the Academy, where, from neglect and ill- treatment, oue lost his sight, and both were greatly injured iu their health. After hearing the evidence at considerable length, as well as the defence, Mr, Justice Park, in his charge, left it to the Jury to say, whether the defendant had been guilty of such gross negligence in the management of these boys, as to cause the mischief of which the plaintiff complained: The Jury, after an lionr* s consultation, returned a verdict for plaintiff, damages £ 300." The trial lasted ten hours, and exeited the most fively interest in a very crowded Court — On the following day, Mr. Ockerley, a tobacconist, in Bishopsgate, obtained a like verdict, for similar inattention to three of his sons.

STORM.— Oil Thursday last, we were visited by a storm of snow, which, iu some parts of the county, fell six inches deep.— The night was intensely cold, and Ihe storm of wind aud sleet incessant.— In many parts of the country its effects were terrific; we subjoin some articles from the provincial Papers. ALARMING INUNDATION.— Thursday evening last and during the whole of the night, this city and it neighbourhood were visited with a most tremendous storm of wind, rain, and snow from the north and north- east. During the night the bed of tbe Frome overflowed its batiks, and long ere day. light the inhabitants of the Weir, Merchant- street, Newfoundland- street, the lower part of Milk street, and the cross streets adjoining, wer awakened from their slumbers by the rushing of the water into their shops and cellars. At day break all the low land round Baptist Mills and Traitor's Bridge was discovered to lie undo water; and pigs, sheep, poultry, casks, house hold utensils, & c. were seen floating down tli stream. Messrs. Bushell's turpentine manufactory the skin yards on the banks ol the river, and othe; premises were all completely inundated, aud dam age to the amount of tiiany thousand pounds must be the inevitable consequence. The Birmingham mail did not arrive till ten o'clock instead of six, owing to the waters being out at Norton's Mill and Quedgley. The London mail aim was nearly two hours behind its time, owing to its having been blown over 011 Marlborough Down ; as was also the Blue. bodied London coach ; the leading horses of the latter being released to enable the passengers and coachman to assist in righting the coach, they ran away, and when the London mail was lifted up aud had again started, the horses of the other coach were not found. Trees innumerable and large boughs and branchesarestrewediu every direction. Several fine elms are blown down at Lord de Clif- ford's, at Kingsweston, at Brockley, at Leigh, at Redland, and in Tyudnll's Park ; and opposite to the Park gate, the front of one of the houses erect- ing on the road leading to Clifton, was blown in. We cannot enumerate the number of smaller dis- asters of which we have heard ; we shall next week, no doubt, have to record a frightful catalogue. tiristol lournat. On Friday morning, the London Mail to Worces- ter was overturned about two miles 011 this side of Oxford, in consequence of its coming iu contact with a stage waggon, owing to the excessive dark- ness of the night. There was only One outside passenger, a professional gentleman of Tenbtjry, who was thrown over the bank into a field, and, we are sorry to say, received a severe contusion on the arm; he was enabled, however, to continue bis journey, and there are hopes that no bones are broken'. Two inside passenger's, and the guard and coachman, fortunately escaped without injury. The Mail., owing to the accident, was delayed an hour aud a half beyond its regular time. We are enabled to inform our readers that all he estates of ihe late Earl of Bridgewater are eviscd lo the Couutess of Bridgeviater for her life, uliject to a charge of £ 18,000 per annum to the Hon. and Rev.' Francis Egerton, now Earl of Bridgewater.— The whole of the estates, after the decease of the Countess of Bridgewater, and of the present Earl, are lo go to the Hon.

C. Long. HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MURDER.— On ' hursday evening last, between 5 and 6 o'clock, as Martha Mason,- servant to John Scott, Esq. of Eyton, hear Wroxeter, in this cbdnty, was em- ployed iu the dairy ( a short distance from the house), placing the butter in a basket preparatory to its being taken fo Madcley market on the follow- ing day, some diabolical wretch discharged a loaded pistol or gun at her, through the window ; the uleiits of the piece so dreadfully mutilated the head and face of the young woman as to force oue eye lo the back of her head, and to render her existence imminently precarious. Oil examining the window, it appeared that the act Was preme- litatcd most deliberately : a pane liadTicen previ- ously removed, and from certain marks it appeared the villain had rested his piece 011 a bar of the win- dow to take aim, which must have been further assisted by the candle which the young woman employed.— A reward of £ 50 is offered for the ap- prehension of the villain ; and we ate sure that every exertion will lie made by Mr. Scbtt and his neighbours tu secure the monster's apprehension and conviction. BEGGARS.— We are requested to call proper attention to Ihe number of beggars with which the streets of Shrewsbury and tiie houses of the in- habitants are and have been for some time past constantly infested and annoyed. Some of these mendicants are dressed out in all the paraphernalia of " rag fair" and real or assumed decrepitude, while others have been singing their song in polish ed boots, and wilh dandy cravat and collai ! One of the latter description was making a good day of it ou Monday last; and at night this indtvidua with two beggars,. of a more party- coloured appear- ance, were reeling about the streets in a stale of intoxication. A man named How- ells, was recently sent to the mill in our House of Correction for two months for neglecting bis family, being the fourth itidi. vidua! prosecuted and cbnvictcd. by the Directors of Ihe United Parishes, within the List two months, for that offence.— A flagrant case - of the same description has occurred at Manchester, and the husband, named O^ den, has been sent lo the tread- mill for six months.

[ It was proved by several witnesses, that, by tjie order of the prisoner, there had been clandestinely removed from his house in Bath, lo a shop in Barton- street, in lhat city, six cannisters of tea, 3 cwt. of moist sugar, 2 cwt. of soap, 3Blbs. of tobacco, 2 boxes of snuff, a bale of cloth, and numerous other articles, of the aggregate value of about £ 100. Mr. Joseph IWaggs, an Assignee under the Commission, pro- duced a box, which had been left with one of the witnesses by the wife of the prisoner: it had three seals for security, and, on being opened in Court wns found to contain, in cast) notes ami gold 4M40. 6s. 6d.

KITE AND WEASEL.— On the 12th of Septem ber last, whilst walking acrOss the grounds of friend in the neighbourhood of Presteigne, I saw kite pounce upon and rise with a weasel alias stoat The struggle for victory was great: at length, to all appearance, the kite had proved the conqueror saiiiug through the air upon triumphant wings. But how short was the hour of victory L In about two minutes he fell with the greatest velocity to the ground. I went and picked him ut^ y wiieti, to my great astonishment, bis ititetkfeU'^ prey had eaten away part of his throat, and bit his windpipe iu two. I made a diligent search for the weasel, but could not find him. The bird was one of the common species, by some called the Buzzard Kite. — Sporting Magazine. AT HAVERFORDWEST.

To ihe Editor of the Salopian Journal. MR. EDITOR,— It is with feelings of pleasure I observe the notice taken in your Journal of the various improvements which, under the superin tendance and some of them at the expense of the Rev. WilliamsGorsueb Itowland, have from time to time taken place in the interior of our venerable Abbey Church, and the care that is bestowed in the preservation of every monument of antiquity within its walls. Last week the architectural de- signs that surmounted the figures in the east window of stained glass, put up at the expense of that gentleman in 1829, were taken out, and instead thereof the four principal of the small upper com partments of the window are filled with angels, one in each, attired in rich drapery; across which, in Old English capital lettevsy. is ^ Gloria Deo in excelsis etin term pax. In homines benevolentia." On each side of these is a cherub, and above, A and 12. The whole surmounted with the Holy Lamb. This alteration has very much improved the effect produced by this beautiful window on entering the sacred edifice, and reflects much credit ou the talents of the artist, Mr. Evans ( part- ner with Sir John Betton).-— Recently there has also been placed against the wall of the North aisle a very neat and tastefully designed monument to the memory of the late Mr. Scoltock, architect, of this town, and formerly of Hencot, executed by or under the direction of Mr. Straphen, builder. Whilst upon this subject, I could wish that some others of the churches of Shrewsbury possessed specimens of the abilities of our townsmen, whose talents have long been exerted in decorating the windows of Liclrfield Cathedral, Winchester College, and other splendid edifices. A small figure placed in each of the upper windows of St. Chad's Church, would have a good effect; and it is certainly desirable that the centre compartment of the principal window, which contains a beautiful specimen of ancient stained glass, should have those on each side in unison with it, instead of being filled wilh desigms in PAINT, which has already begun to chip, and must in a very few years perish altogether. The transepts of St. Mary's Church would also be materially improved in appearance, if the windows were filled with figures of the Apos- tles, & c. for the reception of which they are well adapted. Nor would tbe Church of St. Alktnond lose any thing in effect, if the glare produced by its too numerous lights was softened down and mel- lowed by the rich tints of appropriate figures in stained glass. I am glad to learn that some of our gentry are enriching their mansions with designs of this beau- tiful art, and hope the taste for it will encrease. The dining room at HARDWICK, the seat of our noble and gallant countryman LORD HILL, already exhibits specimens recently executed by Sir John Bettoii and Mr. Evans, containing, the armorial bearings of Sir Rowland Hill, Sir Richard Hill, the present venerable possessor of Hawkstone Sir John Hill, and of his Lordship, with those of the heiresses of the families of Wlonkeslowe, Bird, Malpas, Dycber, Chambre, and Adderton, who married into the Hawkstone family. Windows in the arcade and other parts of the mansion will, I am g'iven to understand, contain representations in stained glass of the different Orders conferred upon his Lordship for his distinguished conduct during the late war, namely— The Star, Ribbon, and Badge of the Grand Cross of the Bath. The Ribbon and Badge of the Grand Cross of the Guelpliic Order. The Star, Ribbon, and Badge of the Grand Cross of the Royal Portuguese Military Order of the Tower and Sword. The Collar and Badge of the Bath. The Star, Ribbon, and Badge of the Order of St. George. The Ribbon and Badge of the Order of Maria Theresa. The Star, Ribbon, and Badge of the Military Order of William ( King of the Netherlands). The Turkish Order of the Crescent . Also a Cross and four Clasps, the former com- memorative of the Battles of Roleia and Vimiera, Corunna, Talave. ra, and Vittoria, and the latter of those of the Nive, Orthes, Nivelle, and the Pyrenees. Two small lnsignias, one of the Bath the other of the Tower and Sword, and his Lordship's Water- loo Medal. These, with a representation of his Lordship's Mansion with his Arms and Crest, I have seen in progress, and, when completed, will, I am sure, have an elegant and brilliant effect.

A ftfost horrible affair was investigated at Bow- street, on Wednesday. Ruthven brought up John Ihurtell axid Joseph Hunt, on suspicion of having committed a murder.— On Friday night, the 24th ult. some persons residing near Watford, Hertfordshire, heard the report of a pistol in the direction of a jane in the . vicinity.; the report of the pistol was imme- diately followed by the groans of a person apparently in great pain ; and on the following- morning a quan- tity of blood was discovered on the spot, and also a pistol, with, the muzzle choked up with the brains of a hup mil being ; a handkerchief and a knife were found aia short distance, and a gap had been forci- bly niaW in a hedge through which it appeared the body had been dragged, as blood and brains were found on part of the bushes. A strict search was immediately made for the body, but without effect. The persons who found the pistol, & c. were deter- mined to watch ; and soon after, two men came to the place and appeared anxiously to look for some- thing, when the persons in concealment came forward and asked them what they had lost. They replied carelessly, they had lost a penknife ; and immedi- ately went away towards a cottage occupied hy a Mr. Probart. It was afterwards discovered that tlie two men who said they lost the knife, were John Thurtell - and Hunt, who, from ihe concurrence of many sus- picious circumstances were taken itp, as were also ThurtelPs brother sind Prohait. John Thnrtell and Hunt: were afterwards sent to Watford, to be examin- ed with Thomas Thurtell and Probart. This case came before the Magistrates at Watford on Thursday, when Hunt made a confession, in con- sequence of which the murdered body ( that of Mr. W. Weare, of No. 2, Lyon's Inn,) was searched for, and1 found in a pond within seven miles of Watford ; the legs, which were quite naked, were* tied together with some new cord, and the upper part of the body was Concealed in a sack tied on.— Affixed to the sack was a handkerchief containing stones. The body was conveyed precisely in this state, to a public- ho use, near the pond, for the Coroner's Inquest.— On Friday, the body was examined by the surgeons, iu presence of the Coroner's Inquest, held at Elstree, Herts. It presented a spectacle truly horrible : there was a - wound • on the right cheek, evidently occasion- ed by a pistol- ball; on the left temple was a wound, or rather a hole, which went through the head, ap- parently caused by some blunt instrument being driven into it vvith great force, the aperture cone- sponding in size with the barrel of the pistol, in which brains were found. The throat of the unhappy man was cut nearly from ear to ear; and there were bruises visible on different parts of the body. Evi- dence- was called, and examined at such length that au adjournment took place till next morning. Several witnessess deposed to the circumstances of hearing a pistol fired, aud also the gjoans, as well as. the subsequent finding of the bloody pistol, & e.— It was also proved by Ruthven and ProbartV servant- boy that the pistol was the fellow to one found in John Tiiurtell's possession in London. Probart's servahf- boy and servant- girl also proved that John Thurtell and Hunt were at Probart's house on the 24th, and that Hunt/ John Thurtell, and Probart went out together about ten o'clock that night; that they returned ; and the boy deposed that he saw John Thurtell and Hum sponging John Thurtell's clothes on the following morning; he saw that the clothes had spots of blood on them. Probart's ser- vants further proved that the two Tbnrtells and Hunt were at Probart's on the Sunday following, and: that they1 went away and came again on the Monday.- Several articles belonging to the deceased, were found by Ruthven at the lodgings of John Thurtell and at Hunt's lodgings. HUNT'S CONFESSION. The following is the confession of Hunt, given very nearly in his own words : —" One night that I vvas at Rexworthy's billiard rooms, John Thurtell told me he wished to see a Mr. Weare; and on entering the house we saw Mr. Weare sitting there. After some conversation between Rexworthy and John Thurtell, the latter called Mr. Weare out of the room, arid they were absent for about twenty minutes. I was during that time in conversation with Mr. Green and Mr. Rexworthy about a billiard table. During that conversation, Thurtell and Mr. Weare returned, and I and Thurtell went away. As we were on our way up the Haymarket to the Cock, Thurtell told me that Mr. Weare had behaved extremely ill to him ; for he, with another man of the name of Lemon, bad won £ 300 of him ( Thurtell) at BLIND HOOKEY. When he discovered he had been robbed of his money by false cards, he challenged Mi". Weare with foul play, and WeareV reply Was— 1 You dare not say a word about it, for you know you have defrauded your creditors of that money.' John Thurtell then observed tome, that sooner or later he would be revenged. At one time in particular he ( John Thurtell) was in diffi- culty, and applied to Mr. Weare for the loan of £ 5, and Mr. Weare's reply was—- 4 Go, and rob for J^ as I do.' On Thursday night, which was the nig- ht before the murder took place, John Thurtell asked me to call on him 011 Friday morning, which I did. Said he--' Hunt, I wish you would take a walk with me.' We walked together as far as High- street, Marylebone. When we got into Hig- h- street, we stopped at a pawnbroker's shop. After looking at jewellery which was in the window, John Thurtell observed that those pistols ( here Hunt looked at and pointed to the pair belonging to J. Thurtell, which were on the table), marked 4 Hill,' I believe, were just the things he wanted to shoot cat's with. They were marked £ 1. 17s. 8d, and be gave £ 1.5s. for them. We then returned to Mr. Tatsell's, the Coach and Horses, in Conduit- street, and dined. After dinner, John Thurtell asked me to get him a horse and chaise immediately, as hg had to meet a gentleman who was going into tiie coiin ry with him on a shooting excursion.; He gave me £ 1, 10s. to get the horse and chaise, for which I paid £ 1. 5s. He desired me not to say where the hprse and chaise were going. Mr. Probart, the proprietor of tbe horse and chaise, supposed it was going to Darti'ord ; but it came down into Hertfordshire, As soon as the horse and ehaiM: came to the door, whiph was at a quarter before eight o'clock, John Thurtell told Mr. Pro- bart, of Gill's- hill, who was present, that in con- sequence of warrants being issued against him and his brother for a conspiracy to defraud the Con: it. y Fire Office of £ 1900, he should go to his ( Mr. Probart's) cottag- e for safety. Mr. Probart said, 4 Well, if that's the case, you may as well wait, and we'll go together.' John Thnrtell said, 4 No, I can't stop, I have a gentleman to meet at Cum- berland- gate, ' and he immediately drove off, taking vvith hi in a great coat which he borrowed of his brother Tom. I did not see him put these pistols into bis pocket when he started, but to the best of my knowledge they were about his person. After three quarters of an hour had elapsed, Mr. Pro- hart, of Gill's- hill- cottage, said he did not want to travel bv himself, and would be g- lad if I vvould take a seat with him in his gig, and spend a plea- sant evening or two. I accepted Mr. Probart's ofier. ( Here the examinant described several houses^ U which he said they stopped and drank. We arrived at Mr. Probart's cottage, when John Thnrtell came up and said, 4 I have settled that b — r., who robbed me of £ 300.' Probart said 4 Who d'ye mean? What d'ye mean?' 4 Why,' said John Thurtell, 41 mean to say, that I have blown his brains out, and he LAYS behind a bed iu the lane.' 4 Nonsense, nonsense,' said Probart, 4 you have never been g'uilty of a thing of that kind, John Thurtell ; if you have, and near my cottage; my character and my family are ruined for ever ; but I Can't believe that you. have been guilty of so rash an act. Here, Hunt ( to examinant), take in the loin, of pork, and desire the pook to dress it immediately.' I went into the kitchen, and waited until Prob. irt came in, which, to the best of my knowledge, was after a lapse of five minutes. Before We went into the parlour, I said to John Thurtell, 4 You are jesting about killing a man to- night ?' 4 Ay, but I have,' was his reply, f and no one else but. Weare, who robbed me of my £ 300:' Mr. Prohart said, 4 John, you have produced such an effect on me, that unless we retire and get some refreshment my souses will totally leave, me.' We then had a glass of brandy. [ Here he de- scribed the supper which was served up, and said that; JohaThur. teil complained of being sick, and could not eat.] After supper, Thurtell called me and Mr. Prohart out, and produced a very hand- some gold watch, with a gold face, saying, 4 What do you think of it now? This is something towards the £ 300 I was robbed of; and if y ou will go with me, I will show you where he lays stiff enough.' Mr, Probart and myself both declined, observing that we would not witness such a sight for the world. Thurtell said, 4 You will not see ' him, for he is in a sack.' I and Mr. Probart declined going near the spot. About one o'clock in the morning Mr. Prohart called me out, saving, 4 Do you think Thurtell has been guilty of this murder ?' My reply was— 4 It looks very suspi- cious, his having- the gold watch ; and in conse- quence of which I wouid rather decline going to bed, and, if it was agreeable to him, I would sit up in the parlour with him through the night.' Ab*> ut • three o'clock in the morning, John Thurtell said — c Co. ne, and look at him ; be is a b '' Offue, and I have had my revenge.' We both declined g- oing near the spot, and walked about tjie garden till four o'clock. John Thurtell said,' 4 If you decline going to fetch him, I will g- o myself;' and in about ten minutes lie left me and Mr, Probart, for the purpose, as we supposed, of fetching the dead man, William Weare. While he was gone,, Mr, Probart said to me— 4 Good God, Hunt! what shall I do if this account of Thurtell's is truer' [ Examinant detailed some further conversation.] During the conversation, Thurtell returned, saying, 4 He is so heavy, I can't carry him ; and. if you won't a'ssiat me in moving him from behind the hedge, I shah put a bridle upon ray horse and throw him across his hack.' and hf » a'oCordino*! v tool: nut l » is hovco back,' lie accordingly took, out bis horse with a bridle on. Mr. Probart said, he hoped he wouid not bring a dead man near his premises; 4 What b—— stuff you talk/ said John Thurteli, 4 I shall bring him and chuck him into your fish- pond.' While he was gone with the horsey I and Probart went into the parlour. Probart was much agitated, and as for myself I had not a nerve, hut what was in a state of convulsion. As near as 1 can recollect, about a quarter or half- past five o'clock in the morning, Thnrte}! came into ihe parlour, and said, 4- I have thrown him into ttie fish- pound..' Thei), by God,' said Probart, 4 I insist upon your getting him immediately off my premises.' Mr. Probaft and jnyself went to the fish- pond, where we saw- the feet of a man upwards in the water. Thurtell fetched a line, which he threw across the feet, so as to sink them, at the same time saying. 4 Pro barf, don't you be alarmed, for I would not. have you get into trouble, knowing that you are a man that has a family. Let him remain here till night, and then I will get him safe away.' On Monday night Thomas Thurtell asked me to go to Mr. Probart's, and inform him of the disappointment respecting the bail. JohpTliu tell said, 4 If you are going down, I'll go wit h you, and take Ilia* man away from Prohart's premises.' I said, 4 If you are going upon that business, don't think I shall aid or assist you.' His reply was, 4 ] want no assistance ; I can doit mysel f easy eno. ugh.' When we arrived at Probart's Thurtell appeared greatly agitated. When we had hern there some time, Probart and Thurtell went out together, and in ten minutes returned by himself, iu half an hour, Thurtell came in, and asked us to put the horse in his gig, and take it round to the gate. We did so, and Thurtell brought upon his shoulder a corpse, a male corpse, one part in a sack, and the feet ban ing out. Heasked Probart to lend him a hand to put the corpse in the gig, but he refused. He then asked me, hut I declined. He then put the corpse iri the chaise himself, and tied the feet to the dashing iron He then said there was plenty of room for me in the gig besides him and the corpse. 1 declined bavin; any thing to do with it, and said I would walk ot and he might overtake me. ) Walked on two mi'es, when Thurtell overtook me, and told me he had dis- posed of the corpse in a small muddy marsh about four feet deep. From thence we made the best of our way to town. And now, gentlemen, I believe you have it as clear as if you had heen present yourselves" 7' he confession marie by Hunt contains only part ofthe facts.— Aft^ r the examination's of evidence on Friday evening Piobart expressed a decided wish to see the Magistrates, and thpy went to him, and remained with him a considerable rime; he confessed all he knew of the matter, but all the Magistrates have permitted to be published is— that, his ( Pre hart's) was not the hand that committed the murder, and that, after it was perpetrated, John Thurtell threatened to murder hint if lie opened his lips on the subject, and told him that he had picked out 17 persons of substance that be intended to rob and murder, and that the deceased vvas one of them. The bloody and torn shirt of the deceased was found in Probart's stable, with a sack and other articles, hid under the manure. It appeared before the Inquest on Saturday, th Hunt was deeply implicated in the murder, having actually brought the sack into which Mr. Wea re's body was put, and the cord that tied if, from London, for the diabolical purpose. Probart and Hunt received part of the money found on IVlr. Weare from John Thurtell ; and Hunt sang several song's in Probart's house on the Friday night after they had committed the murder ! The whole of the evidence having been gone through, the Jury, in a few minutes, returned verdict of Wilful Murder against John Thurtell as a principal, aud against Hunt and Prohart as acv cessaries before the fact,— The prisoners were then committed to Hertford Gaol for trial. Thomas Thurtell Was acquitted ; but was tak into custody for the conspiracy iu setting fire to premises in Walling, street to defraud the Fire Office, hy which liie several adjacent house'sWere burnt, some of which were uninsured. The Magistrates at the late Quarter Sessions several comities, came ?< a ics » ; utioti respecting matters of bastardy, seriously affecting the pn fits of the gentlemen of the long robe.

A NEC DOTE.— Colonel Johnson, who served ( I believe) under the Duke of York in the Nether- lands, wasiceh' b'rated nof less " as' a genti& man than as an officer ; he was every inch a soldier, and had reaped glory and scars in the battle's van. He was an excellent swordsman, and his extreme height of person, and length of arm, rendered him a danger- ous antagonist, even to more skilled opponents. Travelling on the Continent, accompanied by a single groom, he 011 one occasion halted at a small inn, glad to seek anywhere rest and refreshment for himself, his servant,, aud the jaded sieeds. The only decent apartment in the house was pre- occupied by a party of French officers; all the provisions the house afforded they had bespoken ; and1 the Colonel was informed that not a ragout or an omelet' was to he had tor love or money, A soldier's education'seldoip deserts him on an emerg- ency : it was but a mi'nule's employment to dictate, and another to send, a polite request to the party, tliata British officer might he permitted to share io the rations of their mess. board. The envy of repuhii- cati France overcame its politeness, and his messenger was sent back with rudeness and denial. Colonel Johnson possessed, under unmerited insult, the coolness and the intrepidity of his country. He commanded that the joint then being dished up should be laid before him,: he and his servant fared sumptuously ; and, with fear and trembling, " mine host of the Garter" carried the mutilated remains to the impatient nod vociferating guests of the parlour. Affrighted and astonished, their disap- pointment and chagrin were soon converted into impotent railing, and breathings of revenge. At that period, the transmission Of " a watch, a glove, a ring, or any article of which the transmitter stood possessed, was considered the gage of defiance, and our Colonel soon found his table in the kitchen ittering with mementos of Gallic daring. He allowed the challengers to finish their ahbre iated repast, caluily took his modicum of wine, and then, followed by his servant, strode iutothe apartment. Drawing his sword, and placing on its l>: ade the first article of defiance, at the same moment raising his fine person to its utmost height, and darting an eye of indignation around, as if singling out his victim, he coolly desired its proprietor to redeem' it, The effect was prodigious. There was a pause denoting hesitation- a buz, but nothing palpable ; and after a full minute bad elapsed, the watch was handed over to his bowing lacquey, aud a ring dangled on the still extended weapon : that too became the undisputed property of the domestic ; and so with the rest. " Men but in appearauee— oldiers but in name!" exclaimed Colonel John- son, as he drew his baud across his blade, ere he deposited it in its sheath-" learn from hence- forward how to respect the rights of hospitality. I have been told that cowardice is ever the companion of audacity ; and that those who know how to convey an insult have rarely the courage to redeem it: I regret that it should have been my fortune to witness, beneath the uniform of France, the com- bination of these degraded alliances." be It stated that John Thurtell was recently ie dealer in Wat ling- street, London; failed in business; and he lately brought an action to recover about £ 2000 damages from the Count Fire- office, on account of a fire ou his premise^ which payment the Fire- Office resisted on the ground that he and his brother set the premises on fi and both John Thni teli and ThomasThnrtell are now nder course, of - prosecution for conspiring fo defraud the Fire- Office — The Thurfells are very respectably connected at Norwich.— Hunt is a professional sing er, and lately kept the Army and Navy Coffee- House, in St. iVLirtin's Lane.— Probart has beeu wine- merchant in London, and is an uncertificated bankrupt. His country- house, . where this horrible transaction took place, has been for. some time looked upon by the people in the vicinity as the resort of characters of a dangerous description, ami as a place where hard- drinking and base practices prevailed. Thomas Thurtell, since the fire for which he and his brother were under course of prosecution, kept a notorious house in London, the resort of bad charac- ters, and recently shut up by the Police; he was a week or two ago declared a bankrupt. The deceased Mr. Weare was a man well known in ' the gaming circles, but was extremely penurious, and generally carried from £ 1000 fo £ 2000 about his person. This was always contained in an old pocket, hook, and generally placed next his skin beneath his . shirt. These habits were known to all who kept his company; and it is understood, that the Thnrtelis had invited Weare to p- sss a short time with them at their seclusion near Elstree, having been, long in habits of intimacy with him in the metropolis. Mr, Wea re's body was interred in Elstree Church- yard at. eleven o'clock on Saturday night. Hunt having, in his confession, evidently con- cealed the truth, it is much doubted whether his confessing will have any effect in screening him from punishment. From papers found iii T. Thuctell's possession, it is expected some discoveries as to other crimes- will be effected, and with reference to other offenders. A FISHING TOUR. TFHOM THE SPOUTING MAGAZINE,] Most of 11s are glad to escape from the smoke of London some part of the year or other. Then ihe angler seeks the stream, the fowler the mountain, the fox- hunter the monotonous plains of Leicester and Gloucester. Those scenes that delight the fisherman have few charms for the boisterous sons ofNiuirod. It is different with the shooter; for, while he is grousing up to his middle iu heath on the mountain, the angler is frequently struggling with a salmon, or trout, in the nver below. They both enjoy the most romantic scenery, and always have something to delight the fancy, eyeu if there be a lack of sport. I arrived at Shrewsbury the day the Judge entered, and on the following day strolled into Court. I found the parties there assembled were very busy . turning, some for fees, and some for favours — many white rods sported on the occasion — and the Judge left the town without bestowing a line on any one. Those ulio travel into North Wales will most likely stay a day or two in this town.

Salmon is seldom taken in this part of the Severn with angling. lu this river are likewise, jack, carp, perch, roach, dace, chub, bleak, ' rufl, flounder, and the finest gudgeon I ever saw. The water runs so rapidly over a stonv bottom, and is generally so clear, except when land floods affect it, that the fish are excellent. It is said the refuse of gas has been destructive, and that the fish are not so numerous since il has flowed into the river ; but the small- ineshed nets are equally so.* If the angler should have forgotten any part of liis tackle on leaving- town, he may be furnished in Shrewsbury with every requisite, at Mr. Shaw's, who is also a practical angler, and can give some useful info rination on the subject,* j* In Shrewsbury was born ' Barker, who wrote a treatise oil angling, published in 1651, from which Walton acknowledges he borrowed some useful hints. A neat reprint of this work appeared in 1821. There are many good inns— the Lion, Tal- bot, Raven, & c. The Holyhead coaches leave Shrewsbury early every morning. I rode as far as the delightful vale of Llangollen, with its beau- tiful Dee murmuring at leaving its retirement. The vale comes suddenly on the sight opposite the aqueduct at Pontycysyllte, not far from Wynnstay, and to a stranger it has a magical etl'ect, it's charm- ing river winding through the valley, encompassed by mountains, which graduate until the horizon mixes with the clouds.

Fishing parties are seen on the margin of the stream with pliant rods, whisking a " fly under the alders that grow on its borders; while others, who have waded in, are trying. a fish to some shallow part of the river or shore, with their angle over their shoulder, the fish. following : this seems necessary to secure their prize, for the bottom being uneven, and in pools, the fisherman would frequently fall by wa king backwards. Ask a Welshman if it is likely you will have sport > he will answer, " Yes, if vou'have the right colour." It is an opinion of mine, from experience, that e dour is more attractive than form. I have fre- quently found an ill- made fly of a right colour more killing than the neatest of a colour not fre- quently seen on the water.

ROBBERY, AND A REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE. - On Saturday ight last, as John Smith ( who was a few years since farmer and grazier at Somersbam, in this county, ut who now, through the depression of llie agri- ullural interest, is obliged to keep a small day- school, whiih scantily supports him in his declining ys) was returning from Cambridge to S'omershfi i- in ile 1 I 2 2 3 3 bolt, with Monday, Lord Runwich's T.

THE TURF.— The following case occurred at the Northern Meeting Races ( Inverness), and is now before the Jockey Club, on a reference from the steward and parties concerned. It is quoted here as a curious question. A large stake was held out u for ponies not exceeding 13 hands," and all the ponies entered for ii stood under the standard according tothe only mode of measurement known upon the turf— namely, by being placed ( with plates, or without shoes) on a surface of five feet long by two and a half Wide. Before starting, however, th. usual mode of meaurement was objected to by some of the parties, and one of the ponies being above the height ( something less than half an inch) iu his ordinary standing position, tlie race was run node protest. Il was won by the pony objected to, and the case has in consequence come before the Jockey Club. The point to be determined just is, vvhethe pony races fall to be regulated by the rules applica ble " to all other races, where no other rules are lai down ? This question is no doubt somewhat new, and it is high time it should be settled ; but the won der is, that it should ever have been put. The merest tyro on the turf is aware of the standard or mode of measurement referred to, and it appears to be past all doubt that it must apply to every case whateve ( whether of licensed racers, county- bred horses, ponies, or hacks), unless a different rule is lai down, and expressly made known tothe parties who are induced to come forward. It may be added, that the difference between the racing measure and the other mode is so very trifling, that it cannot in case amount to more than half an inch in he and it is well known that this is always given, what- ever way is adopted. But our friends in the north are great sticklers,, and some of them perhaps ( ac- cording to their own saying) " if they get an inch might take an ell !"— Edinburgh Observer. The fire which broke ( Hit in a stable at Kelso, on Wednesday se'nnight, the first day of the Races at that place, is supposed to have had its origin in the knowledge, previously obtained, of the supe- rior speed of Mr. Hudson's horse, Sir Henry. The fire broke out at half- past ten o'clock in the morn- ing, and Sir Henry and another racer, White Rose, were, with difficulty, rescued from the flames. The former was so little injured that he ran that day aud won the plate easily, at three heats, also the plate 011 Friday, at two heats, and the plate on Saturday at three heats. White Rose was so much injured by the fire, that she was not able to start on any of the days. Mr. Thomas Whital Waterworth. of Doncaster, attorney at- law, has been committed to the House of Correction, at Wakefield, for not satisfactorily answering questions put to him by the major part of the commissioners under a commission of bank- rupt, issued against John Smith, of Doncaster. On Wednesday's se'nnight, Mr. Waterworth, aCcom- companied by Francis xMaude, Esq. his Counsel, was, at his own request, brought by Mr. Shepherd, the keeper of the House of Correction, in a chaise from Wakefield, to this place, to be further ex- amined by the commissioners touching the bank- rupt's estate and effects, when he was recommitted to the same prison by Hugh Parker and James Rimiugton, Esqrs. Bernard John Wake, Joseph Haywood, jun. and John Collinson, gentlemen, they being all the commissioners, for not then satisfactorily answering the same questions as were put to him ( Mr. Waterworth) on his former ex- amination. We also understand that John Allen, late of C'antley, near Doncaster, but now of Sheffield, butcher ( who was one of the assignees under the former commission against Smith), was, on Monday se'nnighl, committed to Wakefield House of Correction, by the major part of the commissioners, for not satisfactorily answering questions put to him by them— Sheffield Iris. At the last Old Kailey Sessions, two young men named Bardon and Algar, were capitally convicted of a highway- robbery on a man named Allen, in the Edge ware- road and after they had robbed him of 17s. one of them ( as the prosecutor swore) proposed throwing him into the canal. Since the conviction of these men," circumstances have transpired" that wholly prove their innocence; and that the prose cutor had committed wilful and corrupt perjury in swearing to their persons. It has been actually proved that he could not have been robbed at all, inasmuch as that the person from whom Allen Swore he received the money of which he was rob- bed has deposed, on oath, that, he never paid him any, nor was he ever known to have so much money as 17s. by him at one time for some years— because he was well known to be a dissipated, drunken character. The men bear a most excellent charac- ter; and Algar's father is a respectable tradesman in Edgeware, where lie lias lived a number of years, On Saturday the depositions of nine respectable inhabitants, proving their innocence, was forwarded from Marylebone Office to the Recorder, to be presented lo the King ; and it is expected this will have the desired effect in saving the lives of the unfortunate men. hy St. Ives, on foot, he was met by a strong young fellow, within a mile and a half from home, who accosted bin) in the following manner—" Stand and liver!" " Deliver what r" said Smith; " all you have," said the man, when he instantly wrenched the stick with which Smith was walking from his hand, and gave him a severe blow on the fore part f the head, when Smith staggered and fell. Upon the robber's throwing himself across Smith, he asked him if lie meant to murder him.; he said he meant to have all he had : Smith then seized fast hold of the hair of his head, when a scuffle ensued for two or three minutes, and both rose from the ground to- gether. Sm'lh still retaining his hold, told him he hoijldgo back w ith him, w hich lie refused ; then, said Smith, you shall go forward with me, and immedi- ately changing his hold from his hair to his collar, forced him about half a mile on the road, when they reached a cottage, and Smith called up a man named vage, who assisted Smith in conducting the man to Soinersbam, and delivering him into the hands of the constable, who brought him to the bench of magistrates at Si. fves* on the following Monday, when he was ftlMy committed to the county gaol to take his trial at the'next assizes. The above case is thought not unworthy the public notice. Here is poor old man between 60 and 70 years of age, who has displayed all the resolution and . firmness of mind which few persons would have done in the zenith of their days. A subscription is begun at Somersham for the above John Smith.— Huntingdon Gazette. O11 Friday last,' a female and two male associates made their appearance at Pollokshaws. After par- king of some whisky together, the men disappear- ed, and the woman soon afterwards broke into a garden, and stole a washing of clothes. The pro- perty being missed, a search commenced, and even- tually the delinquent was found lying in a ditch, behind a garden wall, carefully covered with a loak or mantle, and the stolen articles wrung dry nd folded, ready for bearing off when darkness af- forded a favourable opportunity of escape. She was brought up to a house, where she was detained for some time, and at length il was thought absolutely necessary to send her in the mean time to gaol. While on the road thither, she was suddenly taken Wilh some strange disorder. Wiithing apparently iii gonv, after a series of frightful• contoi tioiis, she i vomited blood profusely, both at ihe month and nose. I The indignation of the escort was instantly turned lo pity, and they became anxious that the unhappy female should be allowed to depart. Just hefore. she was lodged in prison, the circumstances of ihe case came to the ears of Provost Baird, who, with his usual humanity, had the woman brought before him, intending to have her comfortably lodged and at- tended in his own house, if she Was really so dread- fully afflicted by . disease. When brought into his presence, he stated that he had some time since seen an impostor of a similar sort exposed in our paper, and he had the woman forthwith examined by Dr. Brash, to ascertain her real condition. It soon be- came evident that the woman was an impostor, in all probability the very impostor formerly denounced, and she was accordingly sent lo gaol. Next day a quantity of a red substance, which she used for pro- ducing the spurious blood, was found in a small bag concealed in the centre of a bundle of. clothes she had left in a change- house.- The delinquent was on Monday sent to Paisley, and delivered over to the Authorities for prosecution.— Glasgow Chronicle. HARDENED ROGUES,— At the Manchester Sessions, on Saturday last, Samuel Shore, Daniel Hughes, and John < 3rattan, were tried for stealing a pocket book and its contents ( one Bank of England note for one pound, and three promissory notes), the property of Thomas Moss. The two former were found guilty, and Grattan was acquitted. Previously to passing sentence, the Chairman, as is usual, asked what was known of the previous habits of the men, when he was told by Battye ( one of the Beadles) that Shore had already been transported, that both were men of notoriously bad characters, and that the brother of Hughes had recently been hanged. Sentence of trsnsportation for life was then passed on them; and immediately Hughes struck Batty- severe blow ou the face, which felled him to the floor; another beadle tame to the assistance of Battye, and Shore joined in the outrage, both pri soners striking and kicking him in the most brutal manner. The Court instantly became a scene of uproar and confusion; some women who were iu the dock, as prisoners, shrieked out, and it was w ith physician, and born deaf and dumb. She then pro- duced a book containing such sentences as " You have a cake growing on your side, which if not removed will cause yotrr death,; I can remove it :" or " you have got the dropsy," & c. With the same promise of relief. This book she shewed to those whom she wished to become her patients, and, pointing to any of its numerous stock of diseases with which she desired to afflict them, promised, at the same time, a speedy cure if they would buy her medicines. As she pretended to be dumb, she car- ried with her a paper containing answers to ihe questions most likely to occur, and to these printed replies she referred " the querists. The part the man acted in the, plot was various. Sometimes he was the doctor himself, though generally he ifierely accompanied" his w ife into the houses, and at: ted as interpreter, or assisted in- persuading their dupes of the precarious condition in which they were, and in bearing testimony to the wonderful cures Mrs. Kit- son had effected. It appeared from the witnesses that the prisoners, were apprehended in Solium, in consequence of a notice in the newspapers that such a couple were on their travels; and when the caravan was searched, a large number of certificates, and the duplicates of the answers lo questions, & e. were found, and also upwards of £ 100 in gold and silver. Mr. HUNT, for the prisoners, made several legal objections to the form of commitment, which the Court over- ruled, and they were sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and hard labour. At the conclusion of the trial, tlie female prisoner, who| had so long passed for dumb, addressed the Court, charging the constable w ho seized her will, having behaved in a most brutal manner. The costs of the prosecution were ordered to be paid out of the money found on the prisoners, and it was expressly directed bv the Chairman that the expenses of thp witnesses be paid into their respect- ive hands, and the remainder of the property to be returned to the vagrants on their discharge. Such is the extent of building, going on in this city, at present, that we learn, in many instances, it is retarded by the inability ( if the quarries in the neighbourhood, to supply stones s^ rjplicienlly quick.

SCURVY.— Milbanh Penitentiary.— Ot\ the late enquiry, made by the Select Committee of the House of Commons, into the state of the Peni- enliary at Mil bank, several eminent medical men were examined as to the diseases prevalent in the establishment ; and the following extract may be interesting:—- Dr. P. M. Latham examined: What reason had you and Dr. Iloget for adopting the use of oranges, instead of the use of lemons ?— Dr. Roget and mvself had 110 doubt whatever of t he antiscorbutic efficacy of oranges ; we considered the acid of oranges and the acid of lemons to be essentially the same. It rests upon the best author- ity that oranges will cure scurvy ; I may particu- CARPETS.— Imitations of Turkey carpets have been tried in England for many years back ; and thousands have been expended in attempting to reach the excellence of the originals.— The Axmin- ster are the best, however, we have been able to produce.

A Persian carpet requires the breeding of some- authority in the Medical Transactions of the College of Physicians, in which he relates several cases of aggravated sCurVy in St. George's Hospital cured by oranges. For my own part, all the cases of scurvy I had seen, up to that time, had been cured by oranges, and not by lemons ; considering then that oranges were as efficacious as lemons for the cure of scurvy, we gave the preference fo oranges as a more suitable article of diet; we con- sidered that, if a lemon was given to each prisoner, there was a chance that he would not eat the lemon, but if three oranges a day were given to each prisoner, it was certain that he would eat the oranges. Do you happen to have heard whether this dis- order has prevailed in Norwich gaol lately, and how it has been cured?— I happen to know for a certainty, that it has prevailed in Norwich gaol, and has been cured by oranges. The disordered state of the inmates of the Penitentiary is attributed, by Dr. Hutchinson, to the want of air and cxercise; and one of the London Papers says— u The root of the evil of that establishment for the punishment of the sins of poor frail Christian human creatures, is the situation of the place: a more infernal swamp could not have been chosen. We wonder what the better part of professors of Christianity could have been about to have chosen such a vile spot on which to build a prison."—" To be shut up in a prison like this, surrounded as it is by a broad ditch of offensive green water, is almost as bad as being shut up in a ship for the conveyance of slaves from Africa to the West Indies/' difficulty that the villains were secured, in doing which Mr. Lavender came in for a severe wound on his shin. The men were taken from the bar, and put into heavy irons. The Court then proceeded to consult as to the proper mode of treating the culprits. The sentence of the law had been already passed, aud could not be altered ; but on referring to the Act for the regulation of prisons, it was found that, at the discretion of the Magistrates, prisoners guilty of outrage in prisons might he whipped. They were, therefore, again put to the bar, and evidence of their conduct being regularly gone into, they were ordered to he taken and severely flogged instanter. This was done iu front of all the prisoners of the ward to which they belonged. Shore was the first upon whom the cat- o'- nine- tails was applied. He called out for mercy during the whole time of the operation; but Hughes, though he internally mourned, was more hardened — he uttered no shriek. When he descended the steps at the top of, which he had been whipped, he jumped down the two last, and said he cared not for what he had had. Indeed, this was a most hardened rascal ; and it appeared that 011 being searched, when taken from the bar to be put in irons, a knife was found secreted with' his coat- sleeve, and some stones were also taken from his pocket. It is thought that the former was forgotten by him, in his passion, when he struck Battye, for giving a report of his character, or else a more fatal issue might have followed; and that the stones were intended to have annoyed the Bencl At the Blackburn Sessions two boys of the names of William Stow and John Gibson ( the former ten and the other eleven years of age) were found guilty on an indictment charging them with wilfully and maliciously attempting to set fire to, and consume, the cotton factory of their employer, Mr. John Spencer, at Barnley, on the 18th August last. The evidence upon which they were convicted was clear and conclusive. It appeared that on the day question, during the dinner hour ( when of course the mill is unoccupied), the two prisoners had carried into one of the lower rooms of the mill a quantity of burning cotton, and placed it in that state, amongst some cotton flyings, which is the most combustible kind of the material, under one of the carding engines; fortunately, however, the smell arising from the fire, was perceived hy the engineer, who happened to be upon the premises at tlig time, and suspecting the fire had originated at the fly- wheel, which from the velocity of its motion is subject re- heat, he directed his attention to that place, fr< whence he saw, in the room below, the two prisoners in the act of firing the cotton flyings under the engine. The fire was extinguished by the prompt exertion of the engineer and some other of the work men, whom he called to his assistance, hefore it communicated with the machinery ; but the wit nesses stated it as their opinion, that in a few minutes more, the fire would, in all probability, have got to such a head, that the destruction of the whole pre- ises would have been the consequence. The worthy Chairman, Sir T. D. Hesketh, Bart, after addressing the two prisoners in the most impressive language, upon the enormity of the crime, aud stating the belief of the Bench that they were the instruments of some more experienced villains, sentenced them to be severally confined in his Majesty's Gaol, the Castle of Lancaster, for the term of three years, where ( the worthy Chairman observed) they would be taken care of, and habituated to industry. CAMBRIDGE COUNTY SESSIONS. John Kitson, and Jane Kitson his wife, who were com, mitted for trial under the Vagrant Act, as rogues and vagabonds, were put to the bar, The circumstances of this case were very singula from the curious system of deceit and fraud which had been carried on by the prisoners. They were accustomed to travel about the country in a caravan, and practise on the credulity of persons in the lower sphere of life, by pretending to an almost miracu- lous power of discovering and curing diteases of every kind. The woman, on their jouruies, feigned to he deaf and dumb, and carried vtfitb her several papers, purporting to be by the authority of the King, certifying that she, Mrs. Jane Kitsori, or Mrs. Mary Molineux, & c. according to the name she wished to assume, was the daughter of an eminent For the. formation of mists, it is necessary that the temperature of the water should be greater than that of the air : but for the deposition of dew, that the heat of the body on which it is to be de. posited, should be less than that of the atmosphere. With regard to light, we would mention the singularly useful, and hitherto unobserved effect of moonlight, in assisting the completion of certain important natural phenomena. The crystallization of water, under the form of those light frosts which so much prevail during the early spring, and which are of such important service in as- sisting the operations of agriculture, by rendering the surface of the earth mellow and better sus- ceptible of the manure that is necessary to it, are greatly assisted, and in many cases entirely brought about, by the intervention of moonlight. It is well known that under certain circumstances water sink to the temperature of 22 degrees before it freezes or takes the form of crystals. Indeed it invariably do so 111 the absence of any me- chanical agitation, and in the absence of light. It is an unquestionable fact, but one which has not hitherto been observed generally, or attended to, that during that period of the year which has been alluded to, and indeed at other periods, before the moon rises on a still clear night, when the atmosphere is at a lower temperature than 32, the water remains in a liquid state, but immediately on the moon rising and diffusing its light around, the water freezes, and performs the salutary offices required of it, without subjecting us to the severity of a low temperature.— Gurneifs Lectures on Chemistry The novel system of forgery, by means of effacing by a chynnic. nl process any part of written Corres- pondence, whilst it must inevitably increase the number of victims to that fatal crime, cannot but be otherwise believed by commercial men in genen than as a decisive blow against the security of all private as well as mercantile communication This species of fraud is practised by altering the amount written in bankers' checks by the drawer and also by erasing the contents of a letter, ex cepting the signature, and then substituting an order or Cheek upon the banker of the individual for the payment of a sum of money. As this mode of committing forgery, from the facility of its execution, is of the highest importance, ever means should be considered by which the perpe tration of so serious an injury may be frustrated The following is one method by which it may be avoided. It has been proposed that the signature of every individual used in mercantile and private correspondence should be different from the signa tuie attached to checks upon his banker, and that this difference should consist in his christian name being, either in the one case or the other, abbre- viated, as he may choose to determine; conse quently, having given a particular signature to a particular instrument, any substitution of another signature written with more or less letters would thus be rendered useless. The alteration of the ordinary bankers' checks might be avoided by writing the amount of the check, either in strong figures, or at length, on the back of the signature of the drawer, in which case the amount of the check could not there be effaced without at the same time erasing the signature of the drawer. The system of forgery recently adopted against the commercial world, can be totally prevented by the use of printer's ink, or by the addition of a little indigo and black oxide of manganese, to common ink, which cannot be effaced by chlorine. Where writings have been effaced for fraudulent purposes with muriatic acid, sulphuret of ammonia, and Prussiate of potash, will revive the writing, and discover the artifice. A correspondent of The Gazette of Health states that the tooth- ache may be relieved by smell- ing the lomata, or love- apple. CORN PLASTER.— Mr. Cooper, in his Diction- ary of Surgery, gives the following recipe as iufal lib! e for the. cure:— Take two ounces of gum ammoniac ; two ounces of yellow wax ; six drachms of verdigris; melt them together, and spread the composition on a piece of soft leather, or linen; cut away as much of the corn as you can with a knife, before you apply the plaster, which must be renewed in a fortnight, if the corn is not by that time gone. - Until within these few years a disease was pre. valent in cider countries, and more particularly in Devonshire, well known by the name of the " Devonshire cholic;" so called on account of its being prevalent in that county. It was for a long time considered that this disease arose from some injudicious use of cider— such as drinking it too new, or in too great quantities, kc.; but this was not generally regarded as a satisfactory explanation of the fact. At length an observant chemist re- marked that the manufacturers were in the habit of conducting one part of their process of cider- making in leaden vats. Nothing more was needed lo explain the fact. The mallic acid of the apple took up a portion of the lead, which immediately acted on the stomach, as it invariably does, and produced the disease in question. The evil has been since remedied, and the disease has disap- peared .— Li I era ry Chronicle. Last week, a man was poisoned near Irvine, by swallowing a quantity of King's yellow. Mis daughter had laid some powders, which she received from the doctor for her father, upon a shelf, beside pa^ er containing King's yellow. In mixing the medicine, the girl unfortunately used the King's yellow by mistake. The error was not discovered util the powder was swallowed by her father, who ingered about twenty- four hours. RHEUMATISM.— A specific cure for the rheu- matism has been communicated by a Gentleman om the Coast of Guinea, which is, to rub the parts affccted with a mixture of Kyan pepper and strong spirits. The rubbing must be continued some time, and repeated till the cure is effected. Probably the American red pepper or the India black pepper might answer, when the other is not attainable. THE ATI, ANTIC AND PACIFIC TO BE JOINED. — The New York Commercial Advertiser states, that the old proposition of uniting the waters of the two great Oceans which wash the Isthmus of Darien has been revived. A proposal has lately been made to the Colombian Government, to effect this by a canal from the river Atrato, which flows into the Atlantic, with the San Juan, which empties into the Pacific. The canai need be but short, as the channel of both these rivers may be deepened for a considerable distance up the streams.. The projector is a foreigner : he calculates the expense at 200,000 dollars, and will do the whole on con- dition of receiving the exclusive right of navigating the canal when finished. The President of the Colombian Government, it is said, meditates a visit to the spot. It has been discovered in America, by a me chanic, named Barnes, that a round thin plate of soft iron, fixed on a lathe^ spindle, and turned with great rapidity, is capable, in a very surprising manner, by the motion of its edge, of cutting hard steel ; the groove in the steel acquiring an intense heat, without the same degree of heat penetrating the soft iron. ADDERS.— Some time during the bygone sum- mer, a surgeon in Maybole, who had got posses- sion of a living adder, put it into a large globular glass bottle, for the purpose of showing it in a live state to his acquaintances, and at the same time to ascertain how long it would exist without nourishment in so contracted a sphere. To soften its " durance vile" as much as possible, a small quantity of loose bog was put into the bottle, on which the miniature tempter might rest and coil its spangled form, as of wont, ere its slavery began. Incredible as it may appear, it existed iu this manner for the space of 101 days, apparently enjoying excellent health. As a proof that its time was not spent in torpor, it never failed to repel every personal insult with hissing indignation. Its liveliest moments were when it lay basking in the sunshine.— Glasgow Journal. THE BRITISH MUSEUM — The new building for the reception of the Library presented by his Majesty is proceeding with great rapidity ; the foundations, which are of immense thickness, are now laid. The edifice will be 300 feet in length and seventy feet high. There will be only one story above the basement, and the rooms are to be thirty feet in height. When completed, a part of the old Museum will be taken down ; and as the new repositories are finished, the whole of the old building will be removed. The one now in progress is intended to form a wing of the new Museum, and it is rumoured that one or more of the porticoes will be supported by antique columns, which are expected to arrive in a short time in this country. The alterations it is calculated will occupy fifteen years, when the front of the new structure will be thrown open to the street, with a spacious Court- yard guarded by an iron palisading. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. — A letter from Cowes dated Oct. 14, says—" Arrived here the Generous Planter, Woodward, from Quebec. On the 17th ult. observed some people on St. Paul's Island, in the entrance of the Gulf of St. Laurence, and on sending a boat found 25 poor creatures, among them several women and children, who had been three days on that island, without clothes or shelter, or other sustenance than the berries that grow on the place. Captain W. took them 011 board of his ship, and administered every assistance in his power. It appears, that on the 14th, the brig Monarch, of Aberdeen, A. Martin, master, bound to Quebec, ran against this island in a thick fog, and sunk in deep water. The boat, however, was got out in time to save 25 persons, but we lament to say that five passengers were drowned.— On the 17th fell in with the Kempt, from Cork to Quebec, who re- ceived 22 of the shipwrecked persons on board, to take them to their original destination. On the 21st the Royalist, from Quebec, bound to Newcastle, took the Master, Mate, and a boy of the Monarch, to convey them home." countless thousands of silk worms. All England could not manufacture a Persia carpet in 20 years: they are composed of a rough bad silk ; and in Persia a carpet of eight yards square, would eriVploy 10 persons for 12 months. Breaking stones on the highway would be a sinecure to such employment. BRITISH WOOL.— This staple article, in the reign of Edward III. is supposed not to have exceeded in quantity 150,000 sacks of 360lbs. which is equal to 225,000 packs of 240lbs.; in latter times computations have greatly varied. According to Davenant there were in Eng- land alone, at the commencement of the last century, 400,000 packs, worth £ 5 each ; which, when manufactured, pro- duced £ 8,000,000. I11 a work, by Trowel, printed in 1788, containing a plan for preventing the clan- destine running of wool, he supposes there were 800,000 packs in England and Ireland, and 925,000 packs in the three king'doms—- other computations at that time make the total number 1,247,000. Mr. Arthur Young, twenty years since, Calculated the number of sheep in England alone at 29,000,000, and the value of the whole growth and labour of the wool of Great Britain and Ireland, at £ 17,695,520, furnishing employment to a million and a half of people. Taking* the gross number of sheep at the present time, for the whole of Great Britain, at 30,000,000, producing, at an average, each 5lbs. of wool, or 150,000,0001 bs. equal to 625,000 packs, at the rate of £ 8 per pack, producing- £ 5,000,000, aud if tlie value of the raw material, 011 the plan of Davenant, and by general admission, be quadrupled by the labour that is bestowed upon it, the growth aud labour will amount to 110 less sum than £" 20,000,000. SHORT Wool,.— As a proof of what attention to this article in breeding will do, we state from authority that the breeding slock of Mr. H. Boys, of VValdershare, consisting of 521 sheep, this year produced the very great quantity of 1904lbs. averaging 31b. lloz. per fleece, or I6j fleeces to Ihe draft. It has been delivered to a gentleman of this city for Is. fid. per lb.— Kentish Chronicle. FRENCH MANUFACTURES.— A letter from Paris, dated the 6th of October, says—" At the Louvre, fifty rooms are crammed with a jumble of what the Parisians are pleased to denominate spe- cimens of the national arts, sciences, and manu- factures-.; where, amidst a heap of toys, trinkets, pipkins, popguns, toothpicks, sausages, lollipops, and other rubbish, that give the place the appear- ance of a trumpery bazaar, there is yet much that evinces a very decided improvement in Mechanics and Manufactures, and enough consequently to deserve the serious attention of the political econo- mist, In passing through this scene of confusion one hears the natives constantly boasting that thei manufactures now equal, if they do not surpass the English ; and in many articles it is impossible to deny the justice of the claim. Their cottons, of all descriptions, are superior to ours, in the taste of patterns and brilliancy of colours ; their broad cloths eclipse ours; and in ironmongery and wroug'ht steel they are making rapid advances, though they cannot yet supply them on such cheap terms as ourselves. If it be painful to make this confession, it is still more so to know that their improvements are mainly attributable to British capital and skill transported to the soil of France; and that we shall be thus confjuered by our expa- triated countrymen, as the feathers taken from the eagle's wing plumed the arrow by which he fell. At the single iron- works of Charenton, there are said to be two hundred Englishmen employed, and new works for rolling iron are now being built by some of our countrymen on the banks of the Seine at Paris. Two iron steam- boats, similarly oared, ply regularly from Havre to the metropolis; and there are several large cotton factories, the majority of whose workmen are from Scotland or England.'' PARIS IN ITS CIVIC RELATIONS The Journal des Debats g- ives several extracts from certain u Statistical researches regarding the city of Paris and the department of tlie Seine," pub lished by order of M. de Chabrol, the Prefect. The following circumstances are some of the most interesting that they contain :— The city of Paris pays annually to the state 81,000,000 francs— a sum equal to half the revenue of the whole kingdom of the Netherlands. Of this sum 28,000,000 are paid in direct, and 19,000,000 in indirect, taxes; 16,000,000 are received for crown property, acts of registration, and stamps ; 6,000,000 are derived from the lottery ; 5,000,000 from the gaming'- houses, and 4,000,000 from the Post- office. Each individual, taking the population at 713,000 souls, pays 114 francs; and without the gaming- houses, 106 francs. Paris, under the principal relations of finance and political economy, is a tenth of the whole of France. The number of houses and chimneys on fire in Paris was as follows : Chimneys on jire. Houses on fire. In 1818 ... 514 133 1819 ... 524 148 1820 ... 631 170 The value of the different buildings insured by the Company for mutual insurance is 860,000,000 francs. There are five other eompauies. The corps of firemen consists of 568 men— it ought to be augmented. The damage sustained by fire every year is upon an average one twenty - th ree- thousandth part of the value of the houses. * Paris contains 560 bakers, 355 butchers, 265 pork- butchers, 927 re staurateurs, innkeepers, cooks, and chophouse- keepers, 325 pastry- cooks, custard- makers, and confectioners, 2,333 retail dealers in wine, 1,466 retail grocers, 1,767 fruiterers, many of whom are also gardeners, 281 corn- chandlers, 787 lemonade- sellers, 416 brandv- merchants, 52 milkmen, & c. In all, 9,761 dealers in articles of sustenance for human life. There are besides 1749 milk- women, standing in the public streets. The women who have sheltered stalls in the market places and public streets are about 3000 in number. The power ol cultivation appears in a most remarkable manner from the fact, that Great Britain now contains more cedar trees than are to be found in Ihe country where their production is indigenous. The durability of that species of wood is established by the well- attested fact, that n the discovery of a temple of Apollo at Utica, near Carthage, cedar timber, which must have been two thousand years old, was found in perfect preservation. The first diving- bell we read of was nothing but a very large kettle suspended by ropes, wilh the. mouth downwards, and planks to sit on fixed in Ihe middle of its concavity. Two Greeks at Toledo, in Spain, in Ihe year 1588, made an experiment with it before the Emperor Charles V. and a great concourse of spectators. They descended in il, wilh a lighted candle, to a considerable depth. In 1683, William Phipps, the son of a blacksmith, formed a project fur searching and unloading a rich Spanish ship sunk Oil the coast of Mispaninla. Ile represented his- plan in so plausible a manner, that Charles II. gave liini a ship, and furnished him with every thing necessary for his undertaking; hut being unsuccessful, he returned in great poverty. He then endeavoured to procure another vessel from James II. but failing in this, he got a subscription opened for the purpose, lo which the Duke of Albemarle largely contributed. In 1687, Phipps set sail in a ship uf 200 tons to Iry his fortune once more, having previously engaged lo divide Ibe profits according to the twenty shores of which Ihe subscription consisted. Al iirsl all his labours proved fruitless; but at last, when be seemed almosl to despair of success, he was fortunate enough to bring up so ranch treasure, that lie re- lumed lo England wilh tl. e value of ±' 200,000 sterling. Of this sum he got about £ 20,000, and ihe Duke £ 90,000. Phipps was knighted by Ihe King, and laid ihe foundalion of the f„ rtnnes of the present noble house of Mulgrave. Since that lime diving- bells have been very often employed. The situation of ihe Royal George, a first- rate, which " link at Spithead many years ago, has been frequently i. tamined, and the Impossibility of again weighing her ascertained by means of this machine. In ihe beginning of ihe lale war, the Luline, an English frigate, having a great quantity of gold and silver on board, and bound to Holland, was losl on the const of Ihat country. Tlie wreck remained undis- covered till the year 1822, when the very low tides which took place in March of that year showed it to the eyes of some delighted fishermen. In general, however, it is some fathoms under water, and at the present lime people are employed, who go down in a diving- bell, and have already recovered a lar » e quantity of this long- lost treasure. FORTIFICATIONS ON THE RHINE.— The ac tlvity of the Prussians, in availing themselves of peace, by placing their towns in the most complete state of defence, has been most unremitting, par. ticularly at this moment. The important fortress of Ehreinbriesten, at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle, blown up by the French, will be in n most formidable slate. The fortifications are on a prodigious scale: the Duke of Wellington, who examined these a few weeks ago, has had the honour of having his nameatlached lo one of them. The town of Coblentz is fortifying. Three vast fortresses have also been built at a mile dislant from the town, iu opposite directions, 1,1 command the roads from France and Mayence. Similar ope- rations arc also going ou with vigour at Cologne; new fortifications are building round il, and fort- resses in the vicinity. In three years all these will be completely finished.— The King of the Nether- lands is also not inactive. II,! has built a fortress on one of the heights above the town of Liege, which will contain, in barracks now building, several thousand men. A second has been found- ed on an elevation commanding the road to the French frontiers; and ground is marked out for a third on one of the hills overhanging the town. ANECDOTES.— In a recent publication, Ihe following particulars are given of a blind person named Stanley, of musical celebrity.—" Mr. Stanley had great arithmetical quickness, and n mind capable of great tension, increased no doubt by that privation w hich is so often atoned for by a superabundance in other gifts. He, soon after his settlement as a domestic man, showed himself an excellent whist- player, when informed only of the principles of the game; but Ihe impossibility of knowing what were the cards he himself lieid was an obstacle which hi. sister- in- law obviated, by marking a pack in a way not perceptible to others, and which nothing less than the ncuieness of feeling he possessed could have rendered useful to himself. Great cuiiosity was excited to see these cards ; and to possess a pack was considered ns a distinction in the World of mis- cellaneous collectors. 1 have seen many, and there- fore can explain what I remember to bave seen treated like necromancy. Ilovv the court- cards were marked I really forget, hut the others were simply pricked with a very fine needle, and only with the number of what are called Ihe pips ; hut Ihe specific difference consisted in the locality of these marks, nd that had been settled by Mr, Stanley himself, that is to say, that hearts'should be marked in one corner, diamonds in another, and so on ; there still remained ihe necessity of placing the cards properly by sorting them and turning them all the right w ay ; card the wrong end upwards would have thrown lira out; but one of the ladies Was always af Irand ; and it then required only that each person'should name the card they played, and the game went on as quickly as if he could have seen. Besides this, Mr. Stanley conducted the oratorios, rode on horseback, not led hut followed by his servant, * knew every sign in CheapsMe wheu every shop had a sign, v could distinguish colours, and ascertain the size of a room, officiated as bis own butli- v, and on being led lo a house informed his guide thai the house which he wanted was next door." It is well known that Queen Elizabeth was a great admirer of Shakspenre, and used frequently ( as was customary wilh people of high rank in those days) to appear upon the stage before the audience and delight to sil behind the scenes while the plays- of our bard were performed. One evening Shak- speoie personated Ihe pari of a King; the audience knew of her Majesty being in Ihe house. She crossed ihe stage while Shakspeare was performing, aud on receiving the accustomed greeting from the audience, moved politely to the poet, hut he did not notice it! When behind the scenes, she caught hi » eye and moved again, but still he would not throw off his character lo notice her; this made her Majesty to think of some means In know whether be would or not depart from the dignity of his character while on the stage. Accordingly, as he was about to make his exit, she stepped before him— dropped her glove, and recrossed Ihe stage, which Shakspeare noticing, took up, with these words, so immediately after finishing his speech, Ihat they seemed as belong- ing to it: " And though now bentoo this high embassy, Yet stoop we to take up our cousin's glove!" He Ihen walked off the stage and presented the glove to the Queen, who was highly pleased with his behaviour, aud complimented him on its propriety. SUIT THE WORD TO THE ACTION—. It is related of Dr. Young, that having placed a sun- dial in his garden with this motto on it from Horace—" Eheu fugaces !" the next morning it was gone. A circumstance of a similar nature happened some time ago to Mr. R. of Ashford. He had set some steel traps and spring yvns in his grounds, and stuck up the customary notice on a board against the wall. Till then the thieves had never molested him, but this temptation was too great, for some marauders speedily carried away the whole train, leaving this distich on the board :— " Stare uot, nor let your silly heart with rage be swoTn, For spring guns will go off\ and steel traps should: be stoTn A late Liverpool paper says, that an inquest had been held on the body of Ralph Matlram, a watchman, who had fallen into the dry dock, and was drowned before he could be taken out ! ABRIDGEMENT.— In the Court of King's Bench, last week, a leather- breeches maker, who professed surgery, failed in an action brought by him to recover £ 22 for surgical attendance, the Court being of opinion that he was not entitled lo recover any such charge.— There was a great fire at Bombay, in May last, when 5000 bales of cotton were consumed.— The contest for the office of Sheriff of Chester terminated on Tuesday, when Mr. G. Walker was declared duly electcd ; a serious riot took place between the contending parties- oil the chairing of Mr. Walker.— The process of exchanging the old for the new Irish coinage is proceeding with activity : a large quantity of the new has been transmitted from the Mint.— It is stated that Ferdinand and Thomas Fairfax, Esqrs, the great grandsons of the celebrated Thomas Loi'd Fairfax, are now living in the United States.— Mr, Barber Beaumont, manager of the County Fire OP. icc, has been convicted, with damages £ 200, for a libel on Mr. Clarke, the manager of the Beacon and European Insurance Offices. There were many peculiarities in the character and habits of the lale King. Until his sight began to fail he had no Secretary. He was a very early riser, whether in town or in the country, and seldom troubled a servant for any thing he could do himself. The little crib, in which his Majesty slept at the Queen's Lodge at Windsor, was con- tiguous to the ofiice where he transacted the public business. Here he was found at his desk by six o'clock in the morning, even in wjliter, having lit his own fire by the candle which he burnt in his chamber. The messengers from the various public offices were frequently admitted and dispatched by the King himself. It was said to have been a source of great pain to his Majesty, when, from Ibe loss of sight, Sir Herbert, then Colonel Taylor, was appointed his Secretary at the recommendation of the Duke of York.
