DEAR SIR,— I, Abraham Ilaigh, with gratitude do acknowledge the wonderful benefit I have re- ceived from your unequalled skill. Having about Christ- mas, 1822, most unfortunately contracted a certain com- plaint, I immediately applied to one of the faculty in our town and was soon pronounced cured: shortly after this I got married, and to my unspeakable grief, in about 14 days it broke out more rapid than ever in both myself and wife, we applied to another of the fraternity and to all appear- ance we both got well. But my wife grew dissatisfied and the abuse of her relations obliged me to take a journey to Chatham, which is to and fro near 400 miles. I under- went all sorts of hardships both cold and hunger, and was 14 days and nights without a bed. On my return to Stock- port my wife got a warrant for me, swearing I had ill used her and threw me into prison, where I was under confine- ment eight weeks, during all which time 1 thought my- self well of the complaint, but when I came to be comfort- able at home it broke out again, but in a different form, my mouth arid throat being eaten into holes, and my nose eating away, attended tfith great weakness and the most distressing pains in my body and limbs, add to this the anguish of rily mind was more tlian equal as I despaired of ever being Well again ; and in this deplorable situation I providentially heard of your unexampled success, and thank God by taking your Lobelia Pills and observingvour directions, in the short space of nine weeks I was perfectly restored to the blessings of health, and remain so to this day; I am, dear sir, your grateful patient.

" JOHN CEUSO, Clerk to the said Trustees. Leek, 11th July, 1824. FIGHT BETWEEN O'NEILL, LANGAN's PET, AND BURN, NEPHEW OF BEN, OF THAT ILK, NEAR CHERTSEY, ON MONDAY LAST. When the men were put on the ground, the great dispa- rity between them was apparent. O'Neill wore the head, shoulders, and arms of a young Cyclops, antl Burn was a thin boy before him. It was a horse to a hen, or St, Paul's to St. Pancras. " It is a shame to bring them together," saysi tom Crib, in his love pi' fair pjjiy. O'Neill was over 13 stone, Burn about eleven antTa lurlfi Bet- ting 7 to 4 and 2 to one on the Irishman. It was ex- pected that Pat would pound his man to mince- meat in a few rounds, and on setfing- to an anxious and painful feel- ing pervaded the whole riiig for the fate of the bold- hearted young commoner. Burn stood well in attitude, clean on his pins, with his hands well up, all coolness and caution, O'Neill showed at once lie did not know his trade. He carried his left hand nearly as low as the hip, and his right limb was half cocked, neither fit to hit nor stop; aS to his legs, they seemed more in his way than use f'ul in guiding his carcase. Round 1. Sparring for a short time, Burn on the look out. Pat in motion, but no meaning in his step. Burn hit short with the left and planted lils right on the ribs— shouts for the first hit. Pat bored in, Burn waited and caught him on coming with a flush hit on the mouth that set his teeth a chattering—( An uproar of shouts for Burn.) O'Neill put up his hand to his mouth, to feel if his lips were left him; then, furious with passion, ran at his man like a wild bull. Burn backed out of his way, and tickled him with jobbers, and, then letting himself down, escaped a rush and a blow that would have sickened a bigger man—( Loud cheering far Burn.) 2. O'Neill came up smiling, and Iturn fighting to order. Pat was ignorant of points, and he stood within distance, uncertain what to be at. Burn manoeuvred, and timed him with a smasher on the forehead. O'Neill shook his head, and went bang again into the same trap; Burn caught him with the right on the side of the head, and his knuckles cut like a chissel through the hair and skin to the bone— Sharp practice that. Pat's arms seemed locked to the shoulder ; he neither stopt, nor tried to hit but once, when he made a half blow half a mile from his man. Burn sprung well away, O'Neill biting his lips, willing but quite ignorant how to go to work— Burn went down again, when he found the Milesian close on him— It was evident that Pat was a game man, but without an idea of fight- ing. The ring were delighted with Hum's manliness and science, and astonished at his execution, but it was still doubtful if'he could last long enough to finish such a full- grown customer. 3. Paddy came to the scratch streaming with gore from the head: his mouth pumping blood in torrents, and his left eye all but closed. Langan jumping wild about" That's the way to hit my honey ! suiting the action to the word ; " now," Jack— fight Jack !" Langan's Irish ardour for his friend did not suit John Bull's notions of a second's cool- ness, and some violent hissing took place, ungenerous against the country, the principal, and second. O'Neill could not fight— his left hand was mere lumber, and his right a log. Langan told him to wait for his man, instead of sending him in to fight, and the simple subject, fighting to order, waited within distance. Burn watching the working of his right hand, and as he drew it back in spar, ing, hit bang over it. PoorO'Neill hit he knew not how, looking stupid for a moment, then pulling up his drawers, ran at Burn, who knew better than to wait for him— O'Neill ran himself over, assisted with a slight hit, which looked like a knock- down blow to those remote in the ring, which set iip thundering applause for the young one. 4. O'Neill's face was a horrid picture; loss of blood made him weak a little, and Burn was also suffering from his heavy exertions. Langan did all he could to en- courage his man—" Wait for him, Jack ; you have not a scratch worth talking of." " Seeing is believing, but feel- ing has no fellow;" and the Native's contortions of face threw great doubts on his second's assertion. Burn brought his right hand to bear on the eye, and the burr of the ear- and then flush on the nose with the left. Paddy felt for his nose, pulled up his drawers again, and rushed in for a rally. 15urn broke ground, repeated - the one, two, and then dropped, to escape returns. 5. O'Neill's left eye was closed altogether. He is an enemy to the window tax and shuts out the light. Lan- gan still ordered him to wait for his man; but, as before, he was always caught napping. Burn was hit lightly on the mouth, and then dropped for safety. C. The Irishman followed Burn to every part of the ing; but when he got within leugth, ha could not bring Burn jobbetl him repeatedly, and Both windows blind. Burn went SATURDAY'S GAZETTE.

He bored him to the ropes, and catching him with the left hand, flung Burn down. 8. O'Neill at last went into work, and hit out, Burn dropped again. " Hillo, Pat, which way did the hull run ?" Burn's friends lectured him to be steady, arid Langan all anxiety for his man,- absolutely sucked his eye to clear the blood. Jack's heart i:< in the right place. 9. O'Neill was almost blind, and followed in the straight line, he was placed against his man. He hail merely a glimmer of light. Burn still maintained his system, and went down. 10. Burn made play, but was hit heavily in the mouth. Fight that way O'Neill and you must win— only hit away and you have it. Burn measured him again, and kept the veins open. Burn rather weakly, arid the fight nut yet safe. 11. Paddy felt for his man, and then tried to go to work— Burn broke away to the ropes, and caught him again and again— O'Neill pushed his right hand like a poker in his face— if lie even did that often he must win. Bum went down. 12. O'Neill Was sent in to fight, but it was the day af- ter the fair. He could not see, and all his hits, if hits they were, were wild and straggling. 13. O'Neill gave something, but received a stunner on the side of the head. He extended his right hand at full length, and stopped Rurn's left in that way. Burn again down. ( Larigan, " Keep quiet, my lad; we are not to be hunted.") Langan's deportment was, throughout the fight, most amusing. He was in attitude with the palm of his hand, laying down the law for O'Neill, and then jumping like a wild man to every part of the ring. " Now my jewel!— fight Jack 1 Remember the widow, my darling! Oh, honey I ' tis nothing. Look in his face, Jack. Burn, you're beat. Take him away ; he has no chance. Think on the widow— fighting gragal." 14. Burn with great dexterity hit O'Neill between his guard>— flush in the face. O'Neill shook with vexation— He rallied like a madman, but Burn again went down. 15. 10, 17. The Irishman rather got up in favour these rounds. lie caught Burn's arm, and punished him a lit- tle, but he was too stupid to use the advantage^ its full eStent. In the 20th, Burn turned the current again in his- fa- vour, and by breaking ground and perpetually jobbing the Irishman, lie reduced hini to'perfect weakness. O'Neill's head was a piteous and ghastly spectacle— he was a shock- ing exhibition, and only stood to be hit at. After fighting 31 rounds in 50 minutes, in which he never took the lead, his seconds gave in lor him, his game never forsaking him to the last. OBSERVATIONS. O'Neill is a mere chipping- block. He must dig mur- phies, and quit the ring for ever. Burn has covered him- self with glory.

Extract of a Letter from Guayaquil, dated, May 27, 1824. it }> y the brig Tres Hermanos, which arrived liere yes- terday from Pavta, letters ha, ye been received of the 22d instant, which " bring the agreeable confirmation of the conclusion of tiie struggle in Peru, by the evacuation of Lima by the Royalists, on the 10th instant. " Some days ago news had been received of the result of the glorious action in which the arms ofthe country have again triumphed, and it was hoped the details would have been communicated; but as they have not arrived, I shall transmit you our first communications, and what has since been learned. It appears that the Liberator and General- in- Chief, Bolivar, who had his head- quar-. ters in Truxillo, and his advanced posts in the direction of Lima ( the negociations which the Minister Verindoga had conducted, not having had a favorable termination, in consequence of the capture of Lima and Callao by the Royalists) determined to make one of those movements which have so often astonished his enemies, and led him on to victory. Apprised that the Spanish Generals Can- terac and Valdez had advanced upon Lima from the positions which they occupied on the coast, from Pacha- cama to Tea, and that they had left General Moneta with the traitor Torre Tagle, commanding that city, and advanced « ' ith the principal divisions ofthe army by the road of the valley, ( Camio del Valle), taking up po- sitions from Ciiancay to Guaura, and detaching a strong division in the direction ofTarma. The Liberator, who seems to have foreseen this movement, sent 4000- men in two divisions, by the great valley of Huaillas, and the • eastern banks of the river Santa, and withdrew his ad- vanced troops upon ' Oasma. This last movement seems to have encouraged the Royalist Generals to advance pre- cipitately with the main body of their troops to the country between" Patavilca and Callijones, a little to the south of Guarmevj where they were on the 3d instant, with 6,000 men, advancing on Truxillo. The Liberator received re- inforcements from hence and Panama, and went out of Truxillo, at the head of 7,000 men for Parilla, and ad- vanced by forced marches to Casma, and on the 6th inst. there was a general action maintained with great obstinacy on both side's. General Canterac received a severe wound in the action, and as soon as the Royalist army saw their General in that state, they dispersed and retired in confu- sion on Guarmay, where they encountered the force the Liberator had previously stationed in their rear, after hav- ing effected their march from the valley of Huaillas, by the bridge of Huares and Ychosa, the rout was so complete, that, with the exception of 700 men who gained the heights with General Rodil, all the army surrendered Our victorious troops advanced rapidly, and Genei- al Ro- dil retired on Lima, where he was pursued by the Liber- ator, and the city opened its gates on the 10th instants- There was consequently much public rejoicing in Lima. The remnant ofthe royal army retired in the direction of the Cordillera. i " The 12th the fortresses of Callao proposed to capitu- late, upon conditions which were under consideration. " The insurgents of Pasto have laid down their arms at Fulcan, under a security of a pardon from the- CoIumbian Government, with the exception of their Chiefs." EURiV'ESE WAR. The following . p. rtic'Uars respecting the rise and pro- gress of the ; -. a', have come to our knowledge, and we think we can iv-'.. cu the authenticity of them. The dispute js i..' some standing, the Burmese having f<. vera) years made encroachments on the eastern frontier of Chittagoug. They first advanced pretensions i ' : jungles frequented by our elephant hunters, which :. unquestionably situated within the British boundaries. ' '.: y next laid claim to the island of Shapuree, situated oil the extreme point of ihe narrow strip of the main land which forms the southern fronties of the Chittagong district, and is separate:', from it only by a narrow channel. The main stream ofthe Had', the acknowledged boundary of the two States, flows be-: . en the island and the eastern or Burmese bank of the river. In the commencement of 1323, a boat belonging to British subjects passing near Shapuree was stopped by a party of Burmese, armed with matchlocks, and the steers- man was shot dead on the spot. On this a small guard was sent to take post on the island, to prevent further outrage, and. to all'ord protection to the peaceable inhabit- ant's of thedistricl. The Rajah. ot'Arraran demanded, in terms of haughty and insolent menace, that this post should be withdrawn. Tile British Officer, in reply, shewed as Well from the - position of the island, as from the records at Calcutta, . that Chittagong had been invariably comprehended within the limits of . the Bengal Government; and added, that any attempt on the part ofthe Burmesse to take forcible possession of it, would be regarded as an hostile aggres- sion. Negotiations ensued, and were still pending, when ( on the 24th Sept. 1823) a Burmese force of about 1,000 men, attacked and gained possession of the island, after killing IhrijeiSepoys and wounding three others. On the 21st of November, Col. Shaplana, at the head of a detach- ment of the Indian army, recovered possession of Shapuree, and continued to occupy the island till the 12th Dec. An epidemic disorder having then made its appearance amongst the troops, they were withdrawn, and immediately the Burmese crossed the river with much parade in four large boats filled with armed men, set fire to a hut, and retired. On the 20th January, 1824, the Burmese authorities sent an invitation to Air. Chew, Commander ofthe Company's . ship Sophia, which was then lying in the river Haaf, re- questing him to visit them at Mangdoo, a station in the neighbourhood. Mr. Chew immediately accepted the in- vitation, and proceeded to Mangdoo accompanied by Mr. Boyce, who commanded the row- boats, and eight Lascars. Immediately on their arrival they were treacherously seiaed and imprisoned by the directions of four Commis sioners who had recently arrived from the Court of Ava, - y, for the express purpose of enquiring into the state of the dispute with the English. When information of this event . reached Bengal, instructions were immediately issued to the Commander at Chittagong to address a letter to the Rajah of Arra'm in the strongest language of remon- strance, calling upon him in the name of the Governor- Gen. in Council to deliver up the officers and men within a certain period, under pain of the severest vengeance of the British Power, and stating, that, as the act of treachery and violence complained of had been committed under the orders of the Commissioners deputed by the Court of Ava, it must be considered as emanating from the King, and unless it was instantly redressed, the relations of peace between the two Governments, already so seriously dis- turbed by past proceedings, would be holden to be dis- solved, and war to have commenced. These transactions sufficiently, shewed the fixed determination ofthe Burmese to engage in hostilities with the British ; and war being inevitable, we have only to express our hope that it will be so vigorously prosecuted, as to be brought to a speedy termination.— Courier. Bayonne, July 18— Merchants'letters from the neigh., bouring provinces of Spain, say, that tumultuous scenes have taken place on various points. At Valiadolid some houses were entered by force, and the windows of others broken. At Palencia, a Marquis has been killed ; at Bilboa, some Royalist Volunteers and Ancient Militia have come - to blows; at Lagrono, the persons confined for political opinions have been set at liberty, except those persons who are among the exceptions in the Decree of Amnesty. ( FROM THE ALGEMEINE ZEITUNG.) Marseilles, June 26— We yesterday received news from Alexandria, in Egypt, which comes down to the 22d of May, and affirm positively that people continnued still to speak ofthe embarkation of the Viceroy's troops, but that nothing certain was known on the subject, no troops hav- ing yet arrived in the neighbourhood of Alexandria. The corps, which, it Was said, was to be commanded by Ibra- him Pr : • :;, was encamped some leagues from Cairo, and, at that lh~ ie at least, was not making any preparations to t> ren!- r Ibrahim was with his father, at a country house - near ' •- It was affirmed, besides, that the troops to feer- . . .1 were not to be conveyed to the Morea, or p„ u .... the disposal ofthe Turkish Government, but go i. Ca. ia, where there is already a strong corps of Egyp- tian troops, to whom ail the advantages are to be ascribed that the Turks have hitherto gained in that island. Farther it is suited in Iheseletters, that those corps in- tended for em wication do not exceed 6,000 men, and that there on. Id e so idea of projects against Greece till Candia is wholly subdued, in which these troops are to assist. We hav.-' r. o certain information respecting the the operations of- the Turkish fleet under the Captain Pa- cha. However, it had not yet appeared near the Pelopon- nesus or at the entrance of the Egean Sea . it still loitered about Negropont, where it is said to have lost some ves- sels. Accounts brough by vessels speak of a new and successful attempt to land near Yolo. In the P. elopon- » . li. esus there was si ill great confusion. Colocotroni has again renewed hostile" measures against the central Go- vernment. but it was not believed, that he acted in concert with the Turks. The unhappy differences that exist, might, however, be very fatal, to the Greeks, if the Turk- ish operations were conducted with judgment and energy, which seems, however, to be by no means the ease. M. Draioi has newly taken the command ofthe French naval force in the Levant, instead of M, de Rigny, who has now returned to Toulon. , Augsburgh, July 12.— We have received letters from Semlin and and Belgrade, which give circumstantial de- tails of a defeat of a part of the army which Derwish Pa- cha caused to advance into Livadia according to orders re- ceived from Gonstantinoble; and. which was to proceed from thence to the Negropont to join the army of the Capitan Pacha. This project of a junction, however, completely failed; the detached body, ofthe Derwish Pa- cha amounted to between 8 and 9,000 men ; he thought to force the important pass of Thermopylae, but the Greeks under Nicetas, after making a feint to retire, fell unexpectedly on them, and after completely dispersing them, took possession of all the artillery and materiel— Derwish Pacha, who had advanced with the other forces as far as Zeitouny, fell back on Larissa, where he again took a defensive position. Thus has the first part of the Turkish expedition completely failed, and it is to be hoped that the same will happen to the expedition from Egypt. New York, June 28 CENTRAL AMERICA A very flattering account is given, in the Providence Patriot, of the situation of the new E- epublic formed ofthe provinces of Nacaragua, Honduras, San Salvador, Costarica, Gua- timala, Queseltenango. Three citizens are at the head of the Provincial Government, who take turns in presiding by months. A government is to be established similar to our own. There is a standing army of 1,000 men, and a militia of 80,000. There are no troops of Spain within the country. The population of the six provinces is said to exceed a million and a half, and that of Chiapa, which is about to join the confederation, has 300,000 more. The Ambassador who has lately come to this country has brought out a plan of the canal to unite the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, in a distance of five or six leagues.

In our. last publication, . which contained the details of the unfortunate occurrences that took place on last Friday se'nnight and the following night, we were led to report as follows:—" That for several days it had been intimated, bv written notices, despatched some miles round the country, that a miracle was to have been wrought on Fri- day last, by the Rev. John Carrol, Roman Catholic Curate of Ballymore." We are since informed, on un- questionable authority, that this statement is incorrect; that 110 such notice— that ho notice of any kind was given. The tendency of this statement is of very serious conse- quence, and we request that such papers as have copied it, will do us and the public the justice of publishing our cor- rection. The report is unfounded, that one ofthe women - maltreated by the Rev. Mr. Carroll was dead ; she still lives, but in a state which almost precludes hope, her breast bone having been broken, in addition to the other injuries which she sustained.— Wexford Herald. ' Committed, on the 15th Inst. by the Rev. Wm. Hughes, Nicholas Wickham, charged with being an accessary before the fact in the murder of Catherine Sinnot, on the 9th and 10th inst— Idem. It appears that three weeks previously to the fatal day, Father Carroll proclaimed from the altar that lie would shortly appoint a day for the performance of miracles, and for administering relief to such diseased persons as. put their faith in him. Friday, the 9th instant, was the day appointed. His intention was made known throughout the country, and hundreds flocked from remote parishes for the purpose of witnessing the miracles. In evidence that such is the case, w< » offer one fact which did not ap- pear before the Coroner's Inquest:— On the day aliuded to, a most respectable professional practitiiwer, Dr. Biggs, was riding through the village of Killine*;, and perceiv ing a crowd around a woman who was, in strong convul- sions, he got off his horse for the purpose of rendering her assistance as his humanity and his knowledge dictated ; but the people, although well acquainted with his person and character, would not suffer him to touch her, exclaim- ing " thai the devil was in her, and that they were wait- ing for Father Carroll to knock him out - This woman's name is Mary Moran; she lies at this moment dangerous! v ill, her breast- bone broken, and otherwise, so seriously injured, that she is not expected to recover Dublin Even- ing Post.

A pamphlet has just been published in Paris, giving an account ofthe horrid rape and assassination committed by a monster of the name of Mingrat, ex- curate of St. Quentin ( in the department of the Isere), who was con- demned to death 011 the 9th December, 1822. The fol- lowing are the principal facts: Mingrat, a man of low ex- traction, was, at the age of 28, named to the curacy of St. Quentin. He had not been long in the situation, when some strange stories begaii to circulate respecting him. Some scandalous and criminal adventures were laid to his account, and neither his tone nor his manners were cal- culated to discredit these, rumours. He was a man of a lofty stature, with a sombre, false, and disdainful ex- pression of countenance. He was possessed of immense strength, and has been seen to carry 011 his shoulders from one part of the church to another, a heavy wooden con- fessional, which generally resisted the force of two ordi- nary men to move. With the strength of a giant, he had also' the passions and arrogance of one. However, as an element of success 111 his profession, he affected great rigour in his sentiments and conduct, interdicting and discountenancing, as much as in him lay, the amusements and recreations of his parishioners. At a quarter of a league from St. Quentin, in the hamlet of Get, lived Etienne Charnalel, a disbanded soldier, whose wife, Marie Gerin, was remarkable for her beauty. The curate Mingrat, who had ' been inflamed by the charms of the soldier's pretty wife, called one day at the cottage, and told Marie Gerin. when next she came to St- Quentin to call upon him, as he should have to charge her with a let- ter for the curate of her village. On her coming to tiie church some time afterwards for the purpose of confession, he, on some pretext 01- other, got. her into the Presbytery where he lived, adjoining the church. There, it appears he consummated the double crime of violation and assassination, in doing which he must have gagged fhe niouth of his victim, as low, inar- ticulate, and stifled moans were heard bv his servant maid. The marks of strangulation were found upon the neck of the unfortunate woman. The servant, attracted by the Stifled nioans she heard, came to Mingrat's room- door, and found it fastened on the Inside, and thinking he might have fallen into a " fit, she knocked, and called out to him to open it, but received for answer an order to return in- stantly to the kitchen. When he did at length come out of his room, she ran to meet him, saying, " Oil, Sir, you have so frightened me .; I thought that you were dying." To which he replied, in a bewildered and furious manner, " Hold your tongue; you are an ideot;" and to get her out of the way, he told her to take the newspaper to one of his neighbours. But the servant, whose curiosity was now p. wakened.' only pretended to obey, and, fortunately for the discovery ofthe crime, remained in the house. Hav- ing spoken to some of the neighbours of what she had heard, a vague rumour got abroad, and in a short time the husband of Marie came to the Presbytery to inquire after his wife. On his knocking, Mingrat himself opened the door, and stood . so. in the passage as to prevent the hus- band from entering. He first denied having seen Marie, but afterwards, on the husband insisting, he pretended to recollect that he had seen her in the church, but had re- fused to listen to her confession, 011 account of the negli- gence and disorder of her dress. He then led the hus- band down thechurch- yard- away from the house, and after a moment's conversation, abruptly quitted him and re- turned to the Rresbytery. He ordered the servant, who did not sleep in the house, to go away, without giving her time to clear away the supper. Then, not supposing that he was watched, he set about disposing of the body of his victim. He tied the hands and feet, and attaching a rope to the. neck, he lowered the body out of the window into a back yard. He ' heu went round to. this yard, and taking hold of the rape, dragged the body after him to a rising ground, called I/ a Roche. The, head, as it bounded over the stones, for the ground was uneven and rocky, left be- hind portions of hair and flesh, j which were collected as proofs of the horrid deed. He had, previous to lowering the body, stripped it, and left the clothes behind, with the exception of a neckerchief, which he brought with him for a purpose we shall see by and by. s On reaching the spot, called La Roche, it appears the thought first struck him of cutting the body to pieces ( for lie had made no previous preparations for this dreadful , operation), and he then attempted to do it with a small pocket- knife, but in endeavouring to separate one of the arms at the shoulders, the blade turned and became use- less. The blood spouted from the wound in great abun- dance, and covered this reverend demon's face and clothes. Foiled in his purpose, he seemed to become delirious from disappointment aiid fear, and tying one of the feet of his victim to a tree, he exerted all his herculean strength to tear the body limb from limb, but failing in this, lie re turned to the house for a more fit instrument for dissec- tion— the kitchen hatchet or cleaver. With this instru ment he separated the thighs from the trunk, and threw them into a rapid stream ' that discharges itself into the Isere. He then lifted the mutilated trunk upon his shoul- ders, with which he hastened towards the Isere, into which he plunged if. He then deposited on the river side the neckerchie f of poor Marie, in order to make it be Supposed that she had drowned herself. On returning to his house, he burned the"- clothes ofthe murdered Marie, together with his own clerical robe, which was stained with blood, and threw . the ashes into the privy. On reflecting if he had removed all traces ofthe crime, he recollected with dismay that he' had left the pocket- knife behind him : he immediately returned to the spot, but after the most di- ligent search lie could not find it. The knife, which was produced at the trial, had already been found by a labourer, who, at the break of day, was passing near l. a Roche, and had his attention caught by a pool of blood, a bloody rope, and a black- handled knife lying by it. The knife he t; up, but fearing it might bring him into trouble, he threw it into a bush. However, after gaining scue distance, he returned, took up tlie knife a second time, washed it, and took it home with , him. Suspecting his servant of some knowledge of the foul transaction, he compelled her to take a sacred oath that she would not betray him. — After this extraordinary scene, Mingrat resumed his tranquillity. However, some days after, as some young shepherds were fishing in the stream which flows into the Isere, one of them, on drawing up his line, fbv. Bd 2, human thigh attached to it. Naturally alarmed at, such a sight, they fled towards the village, and told what had taken place. The authorities repaired to the spot, the thigh " was recognized to be that of a young woman, and there, of course, was no longer, any doubt as to Marie Genii having been murdered. As public opinion pointed out Mingral as the assassin, he resorted to a last effort to remove suspicion from him. He soon afterwards took the alarm and fled. Tire Mayor sent the gensdarmes in pursuit of iiim, but Mingrat got over the frontiers into Savoy, before tbev could fake him. They, however, gave a description of hisfperson anil crime to some Pied- montese carhfneers intol'wh6se bands he shortly after fell, and was conducted to the prison of Chamberry, from whence he has been transferred to tiie fortress of Fenestrella. Tiie Sardinian Government have constantly refused to deliver him up, though lie has been condemned to death bv the trilihual of Grenchlq. The trial was heard withj closed doors— a ra'tfiej; remarkable circumstance. A Grand Vicar at Grenofife went to visit him in the prison of Chamherry. On Mingrat seeing him, he threw him- self at his feet and exclaimed, ' Ah, father, I am guilty, pardon mi !' This public avowal was not at all relished by the. Grand. Vicar, who immediately ordered those pre- sent to retire, when he had' a tete- a- tete with the worthy, curate. This Grand Vicar ran 110 little risk on his return to Grenoble; for the people, supposing that he had brough back Mingrat for the purpose of delivering him up to the law, attacked the Vicar's carriage, determined to do justice Upon him themselves.;— What must increase the disgust and horror which this recital is calculated to create, is, that the French. Government turns a deaf ear to the re- peated solicitations of the family of the murdered woman — Even the Chamber of Deputies have refused to pay any attention to the repeated applications of the family Tlie authorities of France, arid almost all the clergy in the neighbourhood, absolutely take part with the atrocious Mirgrat.

SHERIFF'S COURT. CRIM CON— Sir James Erskine v. Sir George Murray. This was an action to recover a compensation in damages for the seduction of the plaintiffs wife, formerly Lady Louisa Paget. The damages were laid at £ 20,000. Mr. Brougham stated the case to the Jury. He said that Sir James Erskine, a branch of one ofthe most distinguished families in Scotland, and signalised in the British Army became acquainted with Lady Louisa Paget in 179/ an acquaintance rather of a romantic description ; great diffi- culties were found to oppose their union ; but, honoured with the acquaintance of their late Majesties, as the Ux- bridge family was well known to possess, through their Majesties they accomplished their wishes. By the death of Sir J. Frskine, the plaintiff ' s late brother, he succeeded to his title and estate, haying served for a long series of years in the Peninsular war. . The picture of happiness was uninterrupted ; Lady Louisa performed all the ordi- nary offices of reading, writing, & c. whidi Sir James was incapacitated from doing, through a defect in liis- sight In 1815 they went to Paris. Shortly after Lady L.' s ar- rival at Paris, her whole conduct became changed, her temper varied, her demeanour, her attachment, formed a strange change; and Sir James soon after discovered that her affections were fixed on another, and that he had be- come an object of inferior concern. The Learned Coun- sel having fully stated the particulars of the case, called a number of witnesses, the substance of whose evidence was, that for some years after the marriage of Sir James and Lady Louisa they seemed so remarkable . attached to each other as to make their attachment the subject of general conversation. Sir James and his Lady having gone to Paris in 1815, one of their servants there saw things be- tween the lady and General Murray not very proper, and on one occasion, the General was seen to pull the lady out of sight. It was also proved that she was in the habit of frequenting a certain house, and meeting the defendant, 011 various occasions, and with whom she carried on a a written correspondence by means of one of her female servants. On one ( lay when her ladyship was 011 a visit to the house alluded to, Sir James came, and immedi- ately a noise was heard as if different doors were opening with violence to allow some cne to decamp. At this house Sir George and her ladyship were frequently seen, and they would sometimes go into the bed- room, and at others into the saloon. There was a secret mode of escaping fiom the house through the garden, without passing a particular chamber, when there was a desire to avoid The parties afterwards came to England, and at Dun- blane, in Scotland, Lady Louisa and the General resided at the house of a Mrs. Rob for about ten days or a fort- night, and were always walking out, dining and living to- gether, but had separate bed- rooms; they were also seen sitting down by the side of a quarry in a situation where a person might see for a considerable distance without be- ing seen. At Matlock and at Brompton the General fre- quently visited her ladyship in a private apartment, and when any of Lady I. ouisa's friends appeared, Sir George always hid himself. I11 1822, ( the intimacy having sub- sisted between her Ladyship and the General from lfjlo,) they were proved to have lived together at Finchley,- un- der the name of Evans, where her Ladyship was delivered of a daughter. The Attorney. General addressed the Jury on the part ofthe defendant. He submitted there never was a case less tainted with circumstances of aggravation, and therefore the . Jury would not visit Sir George with heavy damages, as it could not be supposed that Sir James Erskine had brought this action for the purpose of putting money into his pocket. The Jury, after an hours consi- deration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, £ 2,500. JUNIUS. HER RORAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS OLIVE OF CUMBER- LAND TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. 1, Agnes- place, Waterloo- road, July 26, 1824- Sin,— It will afford the Noblemen and Gentlemen, and Literati of London satisfaction to learn that they can re- ceive [ iositive proof's that the late Doctor Wilmot was Junius, anil that the late Lord Ashburtcn wrote in that work, bv applying to myself ( with proper signature), to obtain ocular demonstration of these facts. Amongst various documents, the following is a true copy of one of tlie papers left by Ooctor Wilmot UPON OTIIEE IMPRESSIVE AND IMPORTANT SUBJECTS! assi- milated with injuries ! which I have too patiently sub- mitted to, during a captivity of three years I!

My present situation demands that I should not, being proofs to the nation such distress is unmerrited or that " I am entitled to its regard. Thus, as the rights of my Royal birth are so withheld, I am compelled to commence a series of statements that may develope the whys and wherefores. OLIVE. P.

FREEDOM OF CHESTER— We can now inform our readers with an assurance bordering on certainty, that a cause of vital importance to the city, will come on at our approaching assizes, which commence on Monday the fitli of September. The nominal plaintiffs m the cause are the Treasurers of the city, versus Williams, tanner, who lias objected to petition for his freedom; and the substantial question to be decided is, whether the corporation can compel persons exercising trades within the city to purchase their freedom. We are very glad that this point is likely to beset at rest by this action, particularly as great mur- murings have arisen from a doubt as to the legality ofthe practice hitherto adopted ; and we wish that another point could be settled, with it, but which we fear will not be in- volved in the decision, if it should be favourable to the cor- poration right, namely, whether the corporate body pos- sess the power of fixing at its own discretion the amount of the fine to be imposed. Great preparations are making 011 both sides for the legal contest, the result of which is viewed with intense interest; Of course it will be a spe- cial jury case. It is understood, that the Solicitor- Gene- ral, Mr. Wetherell, Mr. T. vrwhitt, the Recorder, Mr. 1). F. Jones, and Mr. George, are retained for the plain- tills; while Mr% Sergeant Cross, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Parke, are to fight, the legal battle of the defendant. At present, there is reason to believe our assize business will be slender, not more than half a score crown prisoners being in custody for trial; and it is very likely the above important cause will come 011 Thursday 01- Friday in the assize week.— Courant. PARKINSON, OF DUNHAM— In our last we noticed, that by the evidence of this individual, a man of the name - of Fletcher had met with his death. As the proceedings ofthe coroner's inquest did not terminate until very late on Monday evening, we were unable to give their deci- sion, which we announce to be that of— MANSLAUGHTER. We took occasion to censure the negligence of the civil power, for suffering Parkinson to remain at large about his own home for two or three days after fhe fatal tran- j suction, and we regret to say, he has not yet been appre- hended. If however, he should not be secured before the arrival of our approaching assizes, we have good cause to believe, that the peace officers ofthe township will have cause to regret their want of promptitude. The Chroni- cle of Friday gives a flat contradiction to several of our statements of the unhappy rencontre, alleging, that they did not appear in evidence before the coroner; but as the daughter of Parkinson was the only witness examined as to the facts, who would naturally be a reluctant one in all that would tend to criminate her father, her testimony might not embrace the whole truth. We shall only add, that our information was collected from persons resident upon the spot, and from the statements contained in the depositions of the dying man Idem. A list ofthe Absentees ofthe County of Kilkenny, with the amount of their properties anne'ved, has just been made out by a gentleman of Leinster, whose local know- ledge and pursuits well qualified him for the taske. By this, it appears, that the enormous sum of £ 350,000 ! is annually taken out of the County by Absentees, almost all of whom are non- resident. The County contains 310,000 acres, so that according to this statement more than a pound an acre ( a full rent) is taken from tiie spoil and spent in strange hands. What would Adam Smith, were lie now liv- ing, say to this system of public economy ? Lcinsler Journal. A new company, to be called the ' Canadian Company,* is now being established, to possess a capital of £ 1,000,000. in 10,000 shares of £ 100. each. The committee state that a charter will be granted, and thatGovermnenj will sanc- tion an application to Parliament for an Act of Incorpo- ration. Several ofthe leading men in the money market have been consulted by Ministers on the subject," and they liave given a favourable representation of the prospect of raising the desired amount in shares. The following are the objects ofthe company, as stated in the prospectus : 1. To purchase portions of the Crown and Clergy re- serves. 2. To give immediate employment to the emigrants 011 their arrival in Canada. 3. To prepare by clearing the lands and building houses, & c. for the settlement of persons and families to whom the lands may be sold or let, as may be agreed 011. 4. To make advances of capital, in small sums ( under superintendence, at the legal rate of interest in the colony, which is six per cent,) to such settlers 011 the lands of the Company, as may require it, withholding the tithes till the advances are repaid, as well as the price of the lands. 5. To give in this country, to persons intending to emigrate, information regarding the lands ofthe Compa- ny, and to facilitate the transmission of ( heir funds, but not to interfere with ther conveyance of emigrants. 6- To promote the general improvement, of the colony, whether it be in making inland communications, con- nected with the lands anil interests of the Company, or in extending the cultivation of articles of export, such as flax, hemp, tobacco, & c. BUILDING SOCIETIES— At the New Court House, Manchester, on Thursday se'nnight, Thomas Dickenson and his wife, were summoned to shew cause why they, as the owners anil immediate lessors of seven cottage houses, in Pandleton, let at weekly rents, should not pay the rates of such houses, pursuant to the provisions of the 59Geo. 3. c. 12. Mr. Barrow, who was employed for the town- ship, said he believed there would be 110 dispute as to the farts . of this case. The houses in question had been erected by a building society, and transferred to the de- fendents, subject, as usual in such societies, to the pay- ment of a certain sum of money by monthly instalments, — and the defendants received tlie rents from the different tenants. But he understood they coutended that, as the whole rents were absorbed by the payments to the society, they were not liable to the rates. That point of course, would be for the Magistrates to decide ; and to them he would leave it. Mrs. Dickinson ( in cases of summons for rates, the wife almost invariably appears) admitted the correctness of Mr. Barrow's statement; but said it was very hard they should pay rates for property from which they derived 110 advantage, as all the money received for rent was paid to the club. Mr. Norris told her they were deriving a great advantage from the property, inasmuch as the rents enabled them to pay off the incumbrance upon it. Mr. Marriott concurrep ; and the defendants were ordered to pay the rates. The Milton MS. is now printing at the University press ( Cambridge, we. believe), and will we hear be published, together with a translation, under the express sanction of his Majesty. The IMS. consists of above 700 pages, so that the work will be of considerable magnitude.

The INTERROGATIVE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION, bv Questions without Answers, which is now so generally adopted in the Schools of the United Kingdom, presents the following peculiar and important advantages: 1. It teaches the elements of every branch of knowledge • with greater precision and facility than any other system. 2. It compels the student to understand those elements, by forcing him to think for himself on their nature and connection, while engaged in referring and studying for answers to the questions, and in working the exercises. 3. It enables Tutors to conduct Schools with success, by one quarter of the trouble and personal exertion hitherto necessary. 4. In composing the Answers, the Pupil is exercised in grammar and composition ; while the fair entry of them in the copybooks is an effectual exercise in writing arid orthography. 5. It applies all the advantages which have exclusively accrued from the sole study of the learned languages, to GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, NATURAL PHILOSOPHY, AS- TRONOMY-, OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS, CLASSICAL KNOWLEDGE, FRENCH LANGUAGE, and other branches of liberal education.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1824. We have nothing to add to the information we yester- day communicated in the letter from Guayaquil, respect- ing the successful operations of Bolivar against the royal- ists in Peru, except that we have since seen, and conversed with, several persons intimately acquainted with South American affairs, and who have'long resided in that coun- try, and their opinion is in favour of the accuracy of the statement. The position of the armies, the details, and names of marches and places— all shew so iutimate a know- ledge of things as they were, that searcelv a doubt rested upon their minds of the truth of the whole. AVe confess our own sentiments lean the same way; especially, as we saw anil examined, the original letter in Spanish, before we published the translation. The next arrivals, how- ever, from Jamaica or New York will probably determine the matter Courier.

The very unhesitating manner in which some of our London contemporaries affect to be in the possession uf exclusive information, on question-! of foreign and domes- tic policy, places them frequently in very awkward pre- dicaments. For the last fortnight several of the metro- politan journals have teemed with a variety of statements, all equally authentic, respecting the intentions of the British cabinet with regard lo the application ( if Portugal for English troops. Every idle rumour has given the cue lo some one or other of the political seers, until, at length, it was decided that Ministers had not only ex- pressed their willingness to comply with tlie request of our ally, but ( hat troops had been actually selected for that purpose, and that transports had been purchased in order to convey them to tbeir place of destination. Some little discrepancy of opinion arose, to be sure, on unim- portant points; but the general conclusion appears to have been, that Hanoverian troops were to he dispatched forthwith, for the service of his Faithful Majesty. The idea of sending military aid to Portugal is now, if it ever was entertained, entirely abandoned. An article profess- ing to come from Mentz, in a late number of the Etoile, states, that Count Minister has been sent to Hanover, for the purpose of dispatching a corps to Portugal to main- tain tranquillity, until the army of his Faithful Majesty has been reorganized ; and the French Editor then pro- ceeds to insist, that by this measure " the English Go- " vernment does homage to the conservative principles " of the Holy Alliance, and implicitly recognizes the " right of interference, which it so unreservedly con- " demned during the Spanish war I" Now it appears that Count Munster was not sent to Hanover for the pur- pose above mentioned, Government having determined not to embark a single British soldier for Lisbon. His mission was to ascertain, under all possible contingencies, what obstacles, arising out of the principles of the Ger- manic Confederation, were likely to present themselves to the employment of Hanoverian troops ; and with these very simple views it is impossible to conceive in what manner ' homage has been rendered to the conservative views of the Holy Alliance.' But even if the French Politician had not argued, as he most assuredly lias done, upon false premises, the conclusion he has drawn is by no means warranted by the circumstances of the case In Mr. Canning's speech on the affairs of Spain, that Minister specifically stated the determination of the British Government not to permit Portugal, the oldest and most faithful of our allies, to be invaded with im- punity ; and we are bound by treaties, as well as ties of honor, not to withhold from her our aid should any thing occur to render it necessary. In the affairs of Spain, ( lie question was, how tar any interference on the part of England, would be attended with beneficial or the con- trary results to herself; in that of Portugal, we are posi. tively pledged to interpose our protection against foreign aggression, should she ever be so circumstanced as lo re- quire it. Since we last gave our opinion on the subject of recog- nizing the independence of the different States of South America, affairs have, we are happy to say, taken a very fortunate turn for that part of the world. By advices received from Guayaquil, it appears that the Royalist forces in Peru have been totally defeated by Bolivar, and that the remnant of their retreating army were compelled to surrender to a division of ( he Liberator's, detached to intercept them. The present result of this success is, that the Patriots have again taken possession of Lima; and the fortress of Callao has offered terms of capitulation, and is doubtless long ere this in their hands. This last blow must surely be decisive, and Ferdinand may bless him- self, or the contrary as he thinks proper, that he has not now, on that vast continent, one, even the smallest por- tion of it that will ever again submit to his paternal au tho- rity. South America is free, and though it may occasion a few groans from the Holy Alliance, still, if we do not take care, they will be before band with us in the recog- nition of that freedom, and then talk to us about their liberal policy. Committed to Knutsforil House of Correction since our last— William Rhodes, for three months, for setting snares in Butley. Maria Green, and Sarah Allen, as va- grants. Charles Coyle, as a vagrant. William Tomkin- son, for arrears on an order of filiation. On Tuesday and Wednesday last, several carters were convicted by the Magistrates of this division on their own v iew, in several penalties for riding in their carts without having reins, and for being at such a distance from' their carts, that they had not the management of the horses drawing the same. On Saturday last, a handsome treat was given to the workmen and a numerous party of friends, at the rearing of the// 7. v/ brick building that was ever erected in or near New Mills, belonging to Mr. Peter Warren. This build- ing was begun and finished in the short space of eight days, by John Henshall, of Stockport, and one other trowel. After an excellent dinner, many appropriate toasts were given, and the greatest harmony prevailed till a late hour. On Thursday se'nnight a dinner was given bv. the Les- sees of the Norbury Colliery, lo a large party of' their nu- merous friends, at' the Ram's Head Inn, Disley, for the purpose of celebrating the recent event of the erection of a new and powerful engine, and of a renewal of the lease. The Bishop of Lichfield will lav the foundation stone of a National School at Staflord, " next week. NEW, WHEAT— Some wliea. grown this year in Heaton Norris, has been cut this weelc, lifought to the Albion Mills, Stockport, and was on Thursday ground into fbur, the quality of which looks excellent. On Thursday, the loth instant, Mr. Alderman Jepson was sworn into the office af Mayor of Lincoln for the third time— a circumstance not occurring before within the re- collection of the oldest person living. The alterations at Windsor Castle have at length com- menced. The calculation is, that 000 men may continue to be employed in their various departments for five 3- ears. The inhabitants of Warrington and the neighbourhood, have resolved to present a piece of plate to Isaac Black- burn, Esq. in testimony of the esteem in which his cha- racter as a magistrate and a gentleman was held, during his residence amongst them. A public dinner was given last week by the inhabitants of Bolton, to the Yeomanry Cavalry of that town, as a mark of the highest estimation in which their services are held by their iellow townsmen About one hundred and forty persons sat down to dinner. A few days since a strawberry was gathered in the gar- den of Mr. John Kent, of Stanion, which measured five inches and a half in circumference, two inches in diameter and weighed more than half an ounce. ASHBORNE CHURCH— This beautiful and ancient pile of building is now undergoing a thorough repair, and we understand the ingenious and enterprising Mr. Philip Wootton, who hes given such general satisfaction at Man- chester, Bakewell, and other places, will on Tuesday next ascend to the top of the steeple to examine and affix his machinery, preparatory to the taking down the weather- cock and the dilapidated parts underneath, with the view of restoring it to its pristine elegance and firmness. FATAL ACCIDENT Thursday last, a child was killed at Ashton- under- lirie, by being mischievously pushed oil the foot- path at the corner of Detamere- street, by another child at the instant of a coach passing, whereby it was thrown under the wheel and its head crushed to pieces. Put a piece of half putrid fish, which smells ; trough' into a box full of holes sufficient to admit of the passage of a large eel! place this in a pond or other piece of water where eels abound, and, in a few hours, it will be filled with eels, drawn thither by the smell of tfce meal. The Duke of Wellington has been indisposed for about a week past. His Grace has been attended by Dr- Hume, wile found it necessary to take blood from the Duke. II is Grace was so much better on Wednesday as to be able to attend the Cabinet Council. There is at present residing in Dundee, a widow, who ha3 given birth to twenty sons and two daughters, the oldest of whom was born when the mother was in her eighteenth year, and the other when she was in her fif- tieth. The ravages of death have reduced this numerous family to two sous and two daughters. THE 42D HIGHLANDERS The total number of men that belonged to the 42d, or Highland Regiment, from the year 1797 to 1316, was 13,127. In 1817 there were only three men living in the corps that fought against Bonaparte in Egypt. There is now in blossom in Mrs. Gordon's garden in Castle- street, in this city ( Hereford) a luxuriant plant of the yucca gloriosa, or superb Adam'$ needle, the stem of which is near ten feet high, supporting a racemation or pyramid of large campanuiated flowers, amounting to up- wards of seven hundred, each as large as a moderate sized tulip. It is a native of North America, and has a most magnificent appearance when in bloom. A correspondent states, that according to a popular tradition, this species of plant supplied our first parents with needles ( sharp spines growing at the extremity of the leaves,) whilst another plant of the same genus, the yucca fllamentosa, produced strong filaments hanging loose from the sides of the leaves, which were employed as thread, and with which sundry leaves were sewed together for their clothing I AWFUL VISITATION— On the 9th inst. at Quebec, the citv was visited by n thunder- cloud, from which an un- usual quantity of the electric fluid was discharged ( at two flashes only) upon the inhabitants. The principal streams fell on the barrarks, which were covered with sheet iron, but without a conductor 1 111 one wing Ensign John D. Cogan was killed, and in another, two soldiers and it little hoy. The mate of a vessel also was reported to be killed, and many persons were prostrated by the shocks. The deceased were all interred together, with military honors. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Tuesday last, at Great Meols, in Wirral, on the body of James Gaskin, who was found floating in the River Mersey, on the Sun- day afternoon preceding. The body was first seen by R. Parr, from the hills above the River, who immediately went down to the water's edge, and pulled the body ashore. It appeared from the evidence of the deceased's daughter that he went towards the River on the Friday night; she suspected from words which had escaped him that he in- tended " to do something with himself," having heard him talk in that way two or three years before. He had been visited by two strokes of the Palsy, which left him disturbed in his mind. Under these circumstances the Verdict of the Jury was,—" Found drowned in the River Mersey." On Monday the assignees of the Thurteils brought an action against a person of the name of How, to recover the value of a horse which he had received, it was pre- tended, in pl- eference to the other creditors. The mail had, it seems, been swindled out of it, and afterwards re- covered it. Some choice . anecdotes. of the prnflicacy, and the bold unblushing villaiiy of the Thurtells came out during the trial. The pUiirjjps were non- suited. It appears that the sittings of the Portuguese and Bra- zilian Commission , for adjusting the differences between the two countries, are held iu Downing- streel. Great interest seems to be taken in the proceedings by the Aus- trian Secretary of Embassy, and also by Prince Ester- haxy himself, since his return from Vienna. A few days ago, a middle- aged gentleman, brother to a Noble Lord, and who has been for some time in con- finement in the King's Bench prison, was detected in an assault of an abominable nature upon a young man re- cently arrived from Cornwall, under such circumstances as could leave no doubt, of disgusting intentions. His friends pretend that he is insane I The Proprietors of the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, have respectfully complimented the Natural History Society of Manchester with the head of " Old Billy," a horse who died in their service at the extraordinary but well- authenticated age of sixty two years I GOLDEN TREASURE— A few days ago, as some work, men were taking up a floor at tire Malt Shovel public- house at Newbold, Breedon- on- the- H il 1, in the county of Leicester, they dise- jvered a box containing a considerable number of guineas, report says two hundred and fifty, which the occupier of the house claims as his property, his ancestors having lived there nearly a century. CORN EXCHANGE, LONDON, JULY 28— Our market is extremely dull this morning, there being no demand for any kind of grain, and as the consumers seem unwilling to " purchase, the factors, on their part, would cheerfully submit to lower prices, but no offers are made, and this will continue to be the case, while the weather continues favourable for the crops, but we must quote our priccs no- minally for all grain the same as on Monday. THE COUNTRYMAN AND THE BEADLE— A short time since one of the beadles of Brighton, took a quantity of butter away from a countryman, because it was defi- cient in weight; and meeting him a few days after in a public- house, says to him, " you're the man 1 took twenty pounds of butter from." " No I bean't," replied Hodge. " I am sure you are," says the beadle. " I tell vou I bean't," rejoined the countryman, " and if thee lik'st I'll lay thee a guinea on't." " Done," replied the beadle, and the money was quickly posted. " Now," says the coun- tryman, " thou didst " take twenty lumps of butter from me, but if there had been twenty pounds, you'd have had no right to take them, and this," continued he very coolly pocketing the money, " will pay me for the loss of the butter." NEW CHURCHES The Appendix to the Report of the Commissioners for Building New Churches, contains a statement of the applications for further Church accom- modation, the consideration of which has been postponed oil account of the state of the Parliamentary Fund. This document speaks so plainly for itself, that it is quite un- necessary to point out the facts it communicates to parti- cular observation. When we see such enormous dispro- portion as this statement exhibits between the accommo- dation for public worship and the population to be accom- modated ; and when we find also that, we believe we may say, all the new churches were completely filled as soon as they were finished; it cannot but be a matter of some regret that the present plan was not adopted at an earlier period. Is it not probable that many, very many of the present frequenters of the new churches, but for their erection would have resorted to some other place of worship not from any dislike of the doctrines and forms of the establishment, but merely from the impossibility of obtaining room ? And if this be the fact, is it not fail- to infer that in like manner many have resorted to other places of worship, and have been thus driven into an ap- pearance of dissent without Iieing really dissenters ? Nor is the crowded state of the recently erected Churches as a proof only of the general utility of the measure; it is also a strong evidence of the sound judgment with which it has been carried into effect. Tile, population, indeed, like the fabled giant of Otranto, had outgrown the walls which were once spacious enough to contain it; but care- lessness or ignorance might have made new dwellings, and yet have left it unprovided for. Another ground for satisfaction to the friends of the church will be, that this has not been a momentary influx from the mere spur of novelty, but the firm though sudden establishment of re- gular congregations, and accompanied by general expres- sions of respect and esteem for the Clergymen appointed. So great has been the demand for places in some instances in and near the Metropolis, that the pews having been all let, the free seats have been filled in common by the gentry and poor people. A Correspondent thus estimates, in a pucuniary point of view, the effect of the Building of New Churches :— " Ninety- six New Churches have already been built, which, if estimated at £ 10,000 each, will amount to £ 960,000 spent in the encouragement of architects, and of all their coadjutors down to the numerous labourers which they have employed, beginning with the contractors for the timbers, stones, bricks, iron, lead, glass, copper, cloth, painting, printing, ornaments, organs, plate, bells, and numerous minutise, which make up the complete material of any one of these buildings. To those are to be added the provisions made for ninety- six ministers, clerks, organists, sextons, beadles, bell- ringers,_ grave- diggers, and the poor who are usually engaged ill some official departments : also for poor children in moral and religious instruction, their teachers, the cloathing and books with which they are furnished, and iu many instances the bread with which they are partly sustained. All these are chiefly annual provisions, which it is therefore difficult to reduce to a principal sum so as to add it to the amount of the buildings— it can scarcely be less than £ 1000 per annum. But all these sums are most happily not only within our own country, hut amongst classes of persons where it is peculiarly beneficial." At Hants sessions, John Tribe and John Marsh, parish officers of Stoneham, were found guilty of conspiring to- gether to procure the marriage of a pauper, who had fust before been delivered of an illegitimate child. The chair man, in passing sentence, said it was a gross case of tam- pering. He knew it was too frequently done by parish officers, without at all considering the great offence they were committing ; and he hoped'the sentence passed on the defendants would operate in putting a stop to such disgraceful proceedings. That as Marsh was the subor. ( filiate officer, and appeared to have- acted under the di- rections of Tribe, they should visit him with less punish- ment. Tribe was sentenced to pay a fine of £ 100 to the King, and Marh to pay a fine of £ 10; and to be im- prisoned till their fines were paid. One of ihej partners in the gambling establishment which has lately been so much talked of, has just finished a new " Hell." The house adjoins the Green Park, into which there isa subterraneous passage to secure a retreat in case of surprise. Play commenced there last week. Copy of an advertisement which was posted in Kcigiiley on Sunday week: " This is to give Notic that all People are desired to Abstane from Heating of Mutton So long ; Wool is Allowed to Go Abroadd. We are in as the I . ong hopes it will answer that which is Required. A SCHOOL ATLAS That very accurate and beautiful work, Ostell's New General Atlas, has been lately re- engraved in a very superior style, on an enlarged scale; by which means many additional names of places have been introduced, without crowding the maps, or affecting that distinctness for which this Atlass has been so con- spicuous: it, may therefore be recommended as one of the most complete works for Schools now published. This established favourite has been almost twenty years before the public ; and for nearly the whole of this time has been in constant use in the first Schools of the Empire. One cause of this well earned celebrity is the constant atten- tion paid to the introduction of every possible improve- ment, the plates being revised after the printing of every 250 copies, and all new discoveries and changes of terri- tory duly noticed. The work contains 30 maps hand- somely printed on royal quarto drawing paper; in which are included maps of Canaan or Judea, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire; and though the maps are so much increased in size, and consequently in usefulness, the price continues as before— viz. 18s. with coloured out- lines, or 21s. full coloured. LAW OF BANKRUPTCY All the statutes on this sub- ject were consolidated into one Act in the last Session of Parliament. The alterations in the forms of proceedings are expected to reduce the expenses of a Commission, and the other most material changes are as follows:— An act of bankruptcy may be committed by a declaration of in- solvency, made before a me s ing of creditors, or depo- sited ill writing at the Bankrupt Office; by lying in prison for debt twenty one days, or escaping from prison, fiir whatever sum arrested ; or by a trader having privi- lege of Parliament not paying debts within one month after service of summons. A debt not payable iit the time is to be sufficient foundation for a Commission, though no security has been given. The present value of debts depending oil a contingency may be proved. The allowance to the bankrupt of 5 per cent upon 10s in the pound, is extended from £ 200 to £ 400 ; of 74 per cent, upon 12s ( id. in the pound, from £ 250 to £ 500; and of 10 per cent on 15s. in ( he pound, from £ 300 to COO- All debts are to carry interest in the event of a surplus. The Bankrupt's certificate must be signed by / W- fiths, in stead of three- fifths, in number and value of creditors to the amount of £ 20 ; but three- fifths in number and value, or nine- tenths in number will be sufficient six months after five last examination ; or if one he wanting to make up either proportion, it is to be granted eighteen months after. Notwithstanding the certificate, if the person had been a bankrupt before', or had compounded with his cre- ditors ; or had been discharged by the Insolvent Act, any future effects which he may possess ( tools, furniture, or apparel excepted) may be seized, unlessTSs. in the pound has been paid. Nine- tenths ill number and value of the creditors accepting a composition, are to bind the rest, and the Commission to be superseded ; but creditors for less than £ 20 are not to be reckoned in number. The Act comes into operation on the Jst of May next. SUDDEN JOY Some months since, a young man named Crooke, employed as a day labourer on an estate near Croydon, was," by one of those sudden smiles of the ca- pricious goddess, translated from the vefy depth of poverty to prospective wealth. The mother of Crooke was des- cended'of a respectable family in Yorkshire, but having formed a connexion with our hero's father ( then a servant to her brother), she was disowned by all her relatives. The father and mother died about three years ago, and their wealth descended to their s< 1n, the uncle of Crooke; and though some person interested themselves tor the youngster, and endeavoured to affect a kindly feeling in the bosom of his rich relative, the latter remained inflexi- ble against the child also, desiring the subject should never be repealed. As his dissolution, however, drew near, he bethought himself of his long- estranged nephew, the child of the sister he had once loved. He accordingly executed a will, whereby he made the nephew sole heir, and caused a letter to be immediately forwarded in his name to a place where he was to be found. The young man, who, from the poverty of his parents, was brought up in complete ignorance, being unable to read, on the receipt of the epistle above- mentioned, took it to the land- steward lo read for him, and when made fully sensible of its import, became insensible to every thing else but the prospect of boundless weath, and the effects were such us led the persons around him to apprehend some violent act either against himself or others. Thejparoxysm was suc- ceeded by a fever, which threatened bis life. This also subsided; but a painful memento was left behind, in the bereavement of the poor fellow's mental facufties. Crooke was removed to town for the benefit of medical advice. In the 4 ilerim tile old gentleman died, without seeing his nephew, who is now sole legatee; but if report be true, he is likely to be again reduced to poverty by virtue of a writ of lunacy, sued out at the instance of a distant relative of the deceased unfit. On Tuesday se'nnight Robert Ellis, a confidential ser- vant in the employ of Mr. Jones, coach- proprietor, was committed by the sitting Magistrate at the New Bnvlev Court House, Manchester, for trial at the present Ses. sions, charged with embezzling money be had received for fares. It seems he had the management of the Moslev Arms coach office, and on searching him the sum of £ 127 8s. ( id. was found on his person, and in his private drawer £ 1,781 6s. 04 in cash, notes, and bankers' securities! This sum of money he had saved, although his salary was that of a clerk only. He, however, could not have ac- cumulated it since he was in the employ of Mr. Jones, which has been only since February, ( he was previously in that of Messrs. Whitaker and Leary, both deceased, to whose business Mr. Jones succeeded), and his defalcation can only have been tor short fares. On Thursday he was acquitted on the charge of defraud preferred against him, but on Monday he was clearly convicted on another charge of the same sort, and the learned Chairman sentenced him to two years' imprisonment. There were other in- dictments for defraud of his employer which were not gone into— A number of witnesses' gave the prisoner a good character. CABBAGE, THE PRIZE- FIGHTER— On Thursday even- ing last, Stephen Strong, better known by the name of Cabbage, after having passed nearly the whole of the day drinking, proceeded to the bridge in St. Philip's Marsh, and precipitated himself into the water. A young man who had spent the day with him gave the alarm"; but some time elapsed before the body could be found, and when dis- covered the vital spark had" fled. Tk e body was conveyed to the F'ull Moon public- house, in Avon street, where an Inquest was held on Saturday, and a verdict of " Lunacy1" was returned. We stated last week, that at our Sessions, a true bill had been found against two persons, for having bribed Cabbage to lose his battle with one Bayley, some time ago; and it is reported that the evidence" of this fiict having been given by Cabbage himself, the circumstance preyed upon his mind, and induced him to put a period to his existence Bristol Mercury. A duel was fought on the 25th May, on the bank of the Mississppi opposite the village of Helena, by Judges Sel- den and Scott, of Arkansas territory. The first fire proved fatal to judge Selden, his antagonist's ball passing through his heart and came out al his right side. The lady of the deceased was aware of the combat, and had followed her husband to within a mile of the fatal spot, where she soon received toe heart- rending tidings ot her bereavement. A gentleman of Liverpool, returning from Bolton a fortnight ago, took along with him in a bag, per coach, a torn cat, which remained with him until the Monday following, when puss was missing, and, to the surprise of his friends in Bolton, he made his appearance at his old habitation 011 Tuesday, having travelled 34 miles. The instruction of mechanics seems now to have become a subject of keen competition in Glasgow. Two courses of popular anatomy and physiology are advei tised to begin on the 2d of August, each to consist of forty lectures, and the fee in each case is only six shillings Scotsman. The Devonshire Freeholder of Saturday has the following paragraph:—" We understand that orders have been re- ceived from the Admiralty to the Commander- in- Chief at this port, to enter without discrimination every man that may offer, whether seaman or landsman; such is the immediate want of inen. The Occau has not yet left the harbour." THE WHITE ELEPHANT Our new enemy in India, the Burmese Monarch, is the proprietor of the celebrated white elephant. The writer of the article on the Burman Empire, in the Encyclopedia Metropolituiia, has the follow- ing account of this important beast, which, like many other important personages, dwindles downoncloseinspeetion:— " One of the most singular and absurd superstitirns by which human nature has been disgraced, is the veneration paid in this country to a white elephant, who is consider- ed as the second personage in the empire, ranks before any of the ltoyal Family, except the sovereign, has a regular court, ministers, secretaries, & c. and is lodged in a splen- did palace connected by a long gallery with the royal re- sidence. A black velvet curtain, embossed with gold, screens this august beast from vulgar eyes, and his abode is a brilliant as gilding can make it. He has a bed covered with crimson silk, and trappings richly adorned with gold and precious stones. A complete service of gold, includ- ing betel boxes, spitting- pots, and we may presume pipes, though the historians of Ava have not mentioned those important articles, are luxuries indispensable lo so dis- tinguished a quadruped; but, like many other royal per- sonages, he is doomed to live in a splendid prison, and is chained by silver chains and golden fetters to the pillars ofhis palace. Captain Canning, the British Envoy to the Court of Amara- pura, in 1810, was admitted to the sacred presence, and saw nothing but a diminutive, sandy- coloured beast, disfigured by a species of leprosy, and ap- parently little gratified by the humility of his attendants, who, at the threshold of the aparlment, bowed their heads down to the ground before him." PRINCE HOHENLOHE FOILED A gentleman labour- ing under insanity, lias, for the convenience of sea bathing and medical advice, removed from the county of Mayo to the vicinity of this city. No favourable appearances hav- ing occurred in his disease, his lady was advised by some of Ibe many Popish priests who constantly surround the family, it being Roman Catholic, to apply to his Holiness the Pope, to obtain, through him, the miraculous aid of Prince Hohenlohe. The Prince, of course, readily com- plied with the wishes ofhis spiritual head, and with those of the lady. He informed Dr. Murray ofhis acquiescence, and appointed the day, which was last Monday week. At the request of Prince Hohenlohe, and by the direction of Dr. Murray, 011 that day mass was celebrated in every chapel of the archdiocese of Dublin, and twenty- one priests attended at the gentleman's residence. These were divided — some in one apartment, and some in another. The mass service commenced in all places at the same hour, and continued to be " offered up" in the gentleman's house until after sun- set! but— no miracle 1 The afflicted wife of the gentleman, at the termination of each service, would rush, with anxious expectation, to the apartment of her suffering husband, and eagerly inquire of his keepers concerning the state of their patient; bill after each cele- bration her hopes were disappointed, and her sufferings increased from disappointed hope- At length their first day's work terminated— but no miracle was performed 1— Their second day's incantation proving as abortive as their first, they agreed to abandon their design, and the great body of priests have withdrawn. They have, however, not left the house for an hour since, without a clerical sentinel Dublin Star.

ATED CANDLES Every body knows what are plated candlesticks, but every body does not know what plated candles are, although they are as common as plated candlesticks ; they are manufactured as follows. The maker dips the cotton and the incipient candles from time to time, until they are nearly finished, in tallow of very inferior description ; and when they have almost attained their required thickness, lie dips them in another mould containing fine tallow, to give them a finishing coat The outside bears the same comparison with the inside as the shell of an egg does to its yolk; when burning you will find the inside consume faster than the outside, the melted grease round the cotton resembling oil in a tallow lamp. These candles are usually sold to oil and chandlers' shops, who retail tiiem a penny cheaper than the tallow chandlers. Plated candles are clear at almost any price; you may discover them by their smell. There are other plated articles which we shall strip of their covering at a convenient opportunity The Economist. We understand that it is now positively determined that the Blonde Frigate is to convey the remains of their late Sandwich Majesties to their native Island, the vessel is being got ready with all possible despatch, but theofficers do not expect iliat she will sail before the 27th or 28th of August, she is to go from here direct tu Rio Janeiro, where she will stay for a short time, and from thence pro- ceed direct for the Sandwich Islands. Several Admiralty packages destined for the Sandwich Islands have already been sent on board the Blonde. The accounts from the hop counties continue favour- able, except from Canterbury, where mould litis appeared. — A Sussex farmer writes, " that he protects lias turnips from the fly in the following manner, and has done so with complete success for the last 15 yearsAfter sow- ing turnips, and I never sow any but Swedes, which the fly or beetle is most fond of, I always procure lime ready fbr them as soon as tbev mnke their appearance; and when the plant is pretty well up, and still in the smooth leaf, I pulverize the urislacked lime, and in the night time have about six bushels of this lime, scattered from a trug, on every acre. Should rain come before the plants are safe, 1 repeat it. This I have found to be a complete pre- ventive against the destructive ravages of this fly or beetle. The expence of this is trivial. Having the lime properly slackened, I find a man will cover about four acres in a day or night, but I much prefer the night, on account of the dew." ARTIFICIAL BEES'- WAX— The Asiatic Journal con- tains a notice of a discovery in India, of a method of manufacturing a substance, to which has been given the name of artificial bees'- wax. It is intended as a substitute for the natural wax in the manufacture of candles. It is formed by a curious and ingenious process from vegeta- ble oil. Candles made of it are little if at all inferior to those made of common wa- x, while they may be afforded at a much cheaper rate than even the " coarsest of the or- dinary kind. A valuable and interesting Parliamentary Report has justbe'en distributed; that of the Select Committee ap- pointed to inquire into the practice which prevails in some parts of the country of paving the wages of labour out of the Poor Rates. — After stating, as among the mischievous effects of this system— 1st, thatthe employer does not ob- tain efficient labour from the labourer whom lie hires; 2tl, tha t persons who have no need of farm labour are obliged to contribute to the payment of work done fbr others; aud 3d, that a surplus population is enccuraged— the Report proceeds to notice itbly, by far the worst con- sequence of the system, " the degradation of the character of the labouring class."—" Tliere are," it is observed, " but two motives by which men are induced to work; the one, the hope of improving the condition of them- selves and their families; the oilier,, the fear of punish- ment. The one is the principle of free labour, the other the principle of slave labour. The one produces industry, frugality, sobriety, family affection, and puts the labouring class ill a friendly relation with ( he restof the community; the other causes, as certainly, idleness, imprudence, and dissension; placing the master and the labourer in a per- petual state of jealousy and mistrust. Unfortunately, it is the tendency of the system of which we speak, to supersede the former of thesS principles, and introduce the latter. Subsistence is secured to all; to the idle as well as to the Industrious ; to the profligate as well as the sober; and as far as human interests are concerned, all inducement to obtain a good character is taken away. The effects have corresponded with the cause— Able- bodied men are found slovenly at their work, and dissolute in their hours of relaxation; a father is negligent of his children ; the children do not think it necessary to con- irihule to the support of their parents ; the employers am! the employed are engaged in perpetual quarrels; and the pauper, always relieved, is always discontented, crime advances with increasing boldness, anil the parts of the country where this system prevails are, in spite of our gaols and our laiVs, filled with poachers and thieves." FANATICISM.— Geneva, July 8— Our Lunatic Asylum, arid our Hospitals are filled with unhappy persons of both sexes whom religious fanaticism has deprived of their rea. son. Of bite years, we have had to deplore several sui- cides, proceeding from this species of madness, which the faculty, from constant experience consider as the most difficult to he cured.

ENGLISH LABOURERS AND NEGRO SLAVES. The report on the situation of the labouring class, ad mits that, in the greater number of the counties in Eng- land, the labourers are upon the parish, and that they re- ceive less wages than they can by possibility subsist upon, particularly if they happen to have families, and that the balance is made up from the poor- rates. It likewise clearly appears that a labourer can never quit his parish; for if he does so, h « will not be employed in another, as the farm, ers there will always give the preference to their own poor, since they are bound to maintain them whether they work or not. With this crying evil unredressed in our country, with what face can the Legislature of Great Brittian oc cupy itself in the discussion of the grievances of the black population of our Colonies? May not the Assemblies of Jamaica, Barbadoes, and the other islands, fairly unite in saying to them—" Ye hypocrites, who see the mote that is in your brother's eye, and perceive not the beam which is in your own ! Pluck forth first tie beam which is in your own eye, and then will ye see clearly to pull out the mote which is in that of your brother." Were Mr. Wilberforce and the Saints, or the Marquis of Lansdown and his friends, sincere in their professions of humanity, this report would strike them dumb with shame: fbr we have it here, on the authority of a Select Committee of the House of Commons, that while they have been busy- ing themselves about plans for ameliorating the situation of the black population in our West India Colonies, the peasantry on their own estates in England, are in a state of actual bondage, and greater moral degradation— worse clothed and worse fed— less happy and less free, in every thing but in name, than the poor negroes, for whom these sensitive gentlemen pretend to feel so acutely. " Cha- rity," it is said, begins at home ;" and it would be well if they reflected that humanity ought to do so likewise !•— Colonist. EXTRACTS FROM AN " EXCURSION THROUGH . THE UNITED STATES." A great improvement is just about to be made in Ame- rican jurisprudence ; viz. the abolition of imprison for debt. Even at present, in most of the States, imprison- ment for debt exists more in name than in reality. By the insolvent laws, which are perhaps too much in favour of the debtor, his person in ten, or at most in thirty days, is for ever released, on a surrender of his property to a trustee appointed by the Court. In the mean time, on giving sufficient security, he is entitled to perfect free- dom within the prison bourids, which frequently comprise half the town or county in which he resides. There are not, perhaps, during the year, in any one State, more than ten instances of actnal incarceration. » *** « * « Respeeting that far- famed settlement ( Albion), it merits neither all the good nor all the evil which have been re- ported of it by preceding travellers. Birkbeck's favour- able picture is evidently much exaggerated, but rather unintentionally than otherwise. At the time when he wrote, land, and particularly produce, bore a much higher price than at present. Since that period the transition from war to peace, with the epening of new territories, have involved the agriculturists, who have suffered nearly as much as the same class in Great Britain. Many have found that it is more difficult to increase capital in the Illinois than in England. A bachelor has no business in the Backwoods; for in a wild country, where it is almost impossible to hire as- sistance of any kind, either male or female, a man is thrown entirely upon himself. Let any one imagine the uncom- fortableness of inhabiting a log- cabin, where one is ob- liged to cut wood, clean the room, cook one's victuals, & c.& c. To afamilv- man the case is different. But eve » the married emigrants cannot be perfectly happy. How often have I observed the love of their native land rising in the hearts of those of my exiled countrymen whom I have met with in different parts of this vast continent! When 1 have spoken to them of England, ami particularly if I had been in the countries or villages where they once dwelt, their eyes have glisten • ed, and their voice has been almost choked with grief. Many a one has deelared to me, that it was with the most heart- rending anguish that he determined to abandon his home and his relations. But what could he do ? poverty stared him in the face. Many a one has told me, over and over again, that were the tithes and poor- rates taken away, or were they even only diminished so that he could make a shift to live, he would return to his native land with the most unfeigned joy. One emigrant, who had been an English yeoman, de- clared that nothing but extreme necessity had induced him to come over, and that he had never ceased to regret it. PLAN FOB EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE RIVER THAMES. A meeting took place at the Mansion- house last week, for the purpose of considering the practicability of an im- provement of an extensive nature on the River Thames. The plan is the project of Colonel Trench, who had sub- mitted it to the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the River Thames, but his Lordship was of opinion that it would be most advisable to consult those members of the Cor- poration who are owners of water- side property. The suggestion was adopted, and several men of affluence, whose properly is partly vested in wharfs and warehouses in the neighbourhood of that portion of the Thames which the plan may affect, assembled at the Mansion- house, where the Lord Mayor presided, and Colonel Trench at- tended to state the particulars of his plan. He proposes to build a kind of esplanade or terrace, to extend from Lon- don Bridge to Blackfriars, and thence towards Westmin- ster Bridge, as far as Scotland yard, The width of the terrace to be eighty feet, and the height sixty. Ware- houses to be constructed underneath the terrace and the space of eighty feet to be taken from the River, or over that part of it which is now left dry at high water. As, however, the room in the River is extremely valuable fbr the convenience of craft, particularly in the comparatively narrow part of it between London and Blackfriars bridges, it is proposed to obviate the difficulty which presents it- self by building the whole upon arches, somewhat in the manner of the Adelphi- terrace, and those arches are pro- posed to be high and wide enough for the admission of the craft underneath the warehouses, an arrangement which will admit of unloading in that situation. It is urged as a great advantage for the craft that they shall be under cover, particularly in winter time. The top of the ter- race, or rather the terrace, is proposed to be covered with some polished material, and to be embellished in such a manner as to render it delightful as a promenade. It is proposed to be planted with trees and shrubs. A toll is to be taken to the promenade, and tickets are to be sold entitling the holder to constant admission. The profits derived from the plan will, it is expected, be very con- siderable, as the Warehouses will let at a high rate. The whole building is proposed we belive, to be fronted with stone, and constructed in such a style as will render it a work of greater ornament and utility than any in this or any other Metropolis. The greater part of the land ne- cessary for the accomplishment of the plan in the city is under the control of the Corporation, by whom the merits of the project will be shortly discussed. We have not learned whether any objections were made to the plan by the gentlemen who composed the meeting. The expla- nations given by the Colonel were stated to be full and clear. The building is proposed to be undertaken by- pri- vate persons. MARKET HEHALD.

" OH ! WHAT A STORY !" OR MARTIN V. CHIVERS Mr. Charles Chivers was charged, before G. R. Minshull, Esq. and Lortl Mountford, on Saturday last, with beating and mobbing one Mr. Aminadab Martin— against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, his C- town and dignity. Mr. Charles Chivers is a youthful supernumerary com- positor, or " gentleman stipe" in a prinLing establishment. Mr. Aminadab Martin is a stitcher of neat's leather, fbr the feet of the King's lieges, by day, and a dispenser of bills of the play by night;— a very harmless, curly- headed, and, seemingly, ill used little personage in a snuff- coloured coat. Mr. Aminadab Martin opened the business by stating his case: and it appeared thereby, that as be, the said Aminadab, was sedulously selling his play - bills the other evening, Mr. Charles Chivers came up to him, with arms a- kimbo, and plainly told him, the said Aminadab, that he was a dirty, disagreeable, detrimental little devil— a foul- mouthed, evil- speaking, sanctified, and cantankerous cox- comb ; and that he, the Said Charles Chivers, had a very good mind to twist his no3e off, in proof thereof. It ap- peared further, that the said Aminadab requested the said Charles not to put himself in such a passion— inasmuch as he was totally unconscious of having offended him, and was, therefore, by no means deserving of having his nose twisted off as aforesaid. But nevertheless the said Charles agitated himself more and more— declaring, that the said Aminadab was all those queer things which he had called him, and a coward to boot— unless lie would immediately pcclanA turn to. Finally, it appeared, that the said Ami- nadab, instead of turning to, turned tail and fled, pursued by a mob of shouting boys, and the said Charles Chivers bumping him behind until he took refuge in the sanctu- ary of his own house— panting and frighted almost out of his wits. " And pray, what could be his motive for thus attack- ing you ? asked the Magistrate, when Aminadab Martin had concluded his narrative. " Upon my soul and body !" replied little Aminadab— " I know no more than the pen in your Worship's hand." " Now your Worship," said Mr. Charles Chivers, " if Mr. Martin has done, I will tell you all about it from the very beginning." He then took by the hand a very pretty girl who was standing behind him, and leading her for- ward, still holding the damsel by the hand, he proceeded, " This lady is my wife, your Worship. She is the daugh- ter of the lady in whose house, I and my mother, and Mr, Martin and his mother, resided. I paid my addresses to her, and she listened to me, and we married— as your Worship may naturally suppose" " Indeed," said his Worship, interrupting him, " I should suppose no such thing ; for neither of you seem more than eighteen years old !" " Aye— that's what I say!" exclaimed Mr. Aminadab Martin ; and, his Worship having told Aminadab he had better say nothing, Mr. Charles Olivers went on :—" We are young, your Worship, it can't be denied; but that's not the question ; and we may be as true to each other, and understand matrimony as " well as older folks." His Worship smiled, and the blushing Mrs. Chivers squeezed her husband's hand— as much as to say, do get on with your story. So he went on and said—" It so happened that Mr. Martin paid his addresses to her at the same time that I did; but she wouldn't listen to him, though he actually offered her two sovereigns if she would only marry him 1" " Oh I— what a story !" exclaimed the indignant Amina- dab—" your Worship, upon— my— word— and honour, she was always oncommon coming till Mr. Chi vers came to live in our house; and then it was all my eve wilh me! She was so fond of me, your Worship, before he came, that she went out to buy the weddun ring herself! Now didn't you Charlotte ?" Charlotte blushed— rather consciously; but she did not vouchsafe a. reply to the tender appeal; and Lord Mountford asked Aminadab, why, when the lady had bought the ring, he did not apply it to the purpose which it was bought ? " Nah, now" replied Aminadab, " it's very cruel, Sir, to joke on sich subjects." Mr. Charles Chivers once more resumed his narrative, and said, that Aminadab was so angry with Charlotte for marrying him, that he took every opportunity of slander- ing her character; and had even gone as far as to say to one Mr. Tibbs—" Aye, Charley Chivers has got her at last— but he has only got m v W I" " Oh ! what a story !" again exclaimed Aminidab— " your Worship, i never said any sich thing. All I said was as this; that Charley Chivers had a little babby by Betsy , little Betsy you know ;— I forgot her name— but he had a little babfcy by her; and all I said was that it was a very great shame. And so it was your Worship — now wasn't it ?— especially when he was come a court- ing to Charlotte ?" Mr. Chivers said this was of a piece with Aminadab's other slander. " But," added he, " 1 beat him fbr slan- dering my wife; and I hope your Worship will think he deserved it." The Magistrate told Mr. Chivers that, however he might be provoked by Mr. Martin, he was not to take the law into his own hands, and beat him. He might have had his action for the slander, and there was no doubt he would have obtained justice. " Justice 1" exclaimed Aminadab; " it is not justice he wants, your Worship. He wants to knock me about just as he would a dog; for when he came up to me so vett- geously in the street, and I said to him, ' Can't it be done without fighting % there's justice to be had without thatf said I; he said, ' D— n justice! give justice to puppy dogs I J V/ have satisfaction.' " Mr. Charles Chivers was now proceeding to enter into an explanation of this very irreverent exclamation of his, but the Magistrate dismissed the matter by recommend- ing Mr. Aminadab Martin to restrain his tnngu v and Mr. Charles Chivees to keep his fists to himself; and, in order that the said Charles might remember the recommenda- tion, he directed that the warrant should be suspended over liim in terronm, GAMING HOUSES. ( F » OM THE EVENING MAIL,) The action against the Keepers of a certain notorious " Hell," which was noticed in the ( Afferent journals, as coming on, is withdrawn, or more properly speaking, " is compromised." Thus it will always be; and the different " Hells" still flourish with impunity, to the enrichment of a few knaves, and the rum of many thousands, till more effectual law6 are framed to meet the evil. As they net thousands a night, a few hundreds or even thousands can be well spared, to smother a few actions and prosecutions, which are very rarely instituted against them ; * nd never but by ruined men, who are easily quieted by a small con- sideration, which, from recentjudgmentswillnotbe with- held, therefore we shall see recorded very few convictions, if any at all. At the head of these infamous establish- ments is the one yclept " Fishmongers'- hall," which sacks more plunder than all the others put together, though they consist of about a dozen. This place has been fitted up at an expellee of near ,£ 40,000. and is the most splen- did house interiorly and exteriorly in all the neighbour- hood. It is established as a bait for the fortunes of the great, many of whom have already been very severe suf- ferers. Invitations to dinner are sent to noblemen and gentlemen, at which they are treated with every delicacv and the most intoxicating wines. After such " liberal" entertainment, a visit to the Rouge et Noir or French Ha- zard- table in the adjoining rooms is a matter of course, when the consequences are easily divined. A man thus a ( lured to the den, may determine not to lose more than the few pounds he has about him ; but in the intoxication of the moment, and the delirium of play, it frequently happens that, notwithstanding the best resolves, lie bor- rows money upon his checks, which being known to be good, are readily cashed to very considerable amounts In this manner, £ 10,000., £- 20,000., £ 30,000., or more have been swept away. The bank at each table consists of £ 20,000., and has certain points or bars in its favour, which, it is modestly observed, aj'e to ensure and cover the expences of the house, which they do with a vengeance. At Kougc el Noir the point is 14 per cent, per event or stake, or £ 100. per cent, per stake per hour. At French Hazard about 5 per cent, per event or stake, or £ 100. per cent, per stake per hour. The events at French Hazard do not come off so quick as at Rouge et Noir. Against the two banks collectively, near £ 10,() 00. are often down, subject to this enormeus tax, which, if the points of the game alluded to come up at tie time, pays half to the bank, though these points may also come up when little or no money is dewn upon the table. To show clearly the bearings of these points, we must therefore argue upon an average stake. Suppose the stakes risked at the two games average £ 500. to each event, then £ 500. per honr are thus sacrificed, without the players having the slight- est chance of winning a penny. The hours of play are from 10 o'clock at night to any hour throughout the night. Average the hours of play at five hours pel- night, six nights per week, during a season of nine months; thus upon this very moderate calculation, £ 2,500. per night, £ 15,000. per week, £ 00,000. per month, and £ 540,000. per nine months, fall into the banks by the points of the game in favour of them alone. This is calculated upon as a dead certainty, as these points are as sure to come up as well as any other point of the game. It is but fair to suppose that half this sum may be money won of the banks; still the, enormous stun of £ 270,000. actually comes out of the pockets of the different players. Now, this is exclusive of what is gained by cheating, and upon the equal chances. However great this sum may appear, let a player at tile house note down the different" sums which fall upon such points fbr one evening only, when he will be convinced that such statement is even under the mark. The principal man at this place is C Those who knew him about 20 years ago, when he kept a small fish- monger's shop ( from which circumstance his " Hell" is designated,) and was put to his wits for money to go to market with, will feel astonished at llis being able to fit up a house at such cost, and put down two banks of £ 20,000. each ; but the mystery is soon solved. He commenced his career by taking the long odds at some races, by which he won a few hundreds. He then joined H y A n ( a man 15 years ago a porter at a " Hell" in St. James's- street, but who has now amassed £ 159,000. of plunder,) and together put dowst a bank of £ 2,000. at No. 5, King- street, St. James's- street, where their spoils were immense. The}' left No. 5, King. street, three years ago, when in conjunction with T r, ( a man who a few years ago took the benefits of the act, aud subsequently kept one or two " Hells" in Pall- mall, but has amassed full £ 150,000. of plunder,> and A e ( formerly a valet, then a dealer to F r, and has now £ 70,000". of plun- der,) they opened a club- house in Piccadilly, with a French Hazard bank of £ 10,000., where in a short time they divided between the four, after all their heavy ex- pences were covered, upwards of £ 200,000. In propor- tion to the extent of the bank and the stakes, so do they collect the plunder. It is to be hoped that some notice will bo taken of the subject next sessions of Parliament, and that a committee will be appointed to collect evi- dence in order that a stop may be put to the evil. EXTRAORDINARY RETROCESSION OF THE SEA— Fri- day week, between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning, a very extraordinary re- action of the tide was observed to take place in Truro River. The mud banks which had been left dry by the ebbing of the tide were instantane- ously coverid with water to the depth of from three to four feet, and such was the impetuosity of the rush, that a vessel lyingon her larboard bilgeway across the channel a little below the quay, Wiyi completely floated, and thrown in an opposite direction to that in which she had been left by the tide. In about ten minutes the water subsided To what is so extraordinary a phenomenon to be attributted ? A similar phenomenon occurred the same morning at Mount's Bay, where the atomsphere was charged with heavy clouds, attended by thunder and lightning. At one time it blew a gale from different points of the com- pass for about a minute, then suddenly became calm. At the time of high water, about six," A. M. the sea sud- denly fell more than four feet, so that vessels which had been afloat grounded; and as it returned immediately, they were afloatagain. During theebbingof the tide the sea instantly rushed back upon the shore, floating boats that had been left aground, and instantly retiring left them dry again. This was repeated several times.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION". We have been favoured with the sight of a latter re- cently received by a naval officer in Cornwall, from an officer connected with the expedition which lately left this country fbr the purpose of proceeding by land to explore the shores of the Arctic Sea, from Repulse Bay, of which the following extract will, we doubt not, be acceptable t » our readers:— " His Majesty'' s Discovay Sloop Griper, " Stromness, July 2, 1824. " I cannot leave the Orkney Isles without writing you. Of the nature and objects of this expedition I suppose you are already well informed, it is therefore unnecessary for me to enter into details. Every thing which could be thought of for the comfort and safety of those engaged in it, has been provided by Government. We have com- plete fur dresses of racoon skin ; bags about six feet long and sufficiently wide fbr a man to get into and sleep in, lined with the same material; and pillows which are air tight, and may be inflated when necessary, to repose on. These pillows are made of duck of the closest texture, of which two pieces are glued together by a composition made of India- rubber dissolved in naphtha, which renders them air tight and the pillows are then formed. There is a stop- cock at one corner, through which they are in- flated, and when not used, the air'is allowed to escape— AVhen empty, a pillow can be folded up In a small com- pass, and carried In the pocket. We have also water- proof dresses, swimming jackets, and camp equipage suited to the climate we have to encounter, all prepared in the same manner. We have also coverings of the same ma- terial for two boats which we have in frame ; each of these boats, when completed for service, will weigh about 1501b. ; they are designed to carry six persons each, with some necessaries. The party consist of 12 persons, and if we find the sea clear of ice, we are to paddle along shore. We take two ponies from Stromness, to convey the luggage across the peninsula from Rupulse Bay to the Arctic Sea ; they are strong, hardy, and handsome little animals. We have materials to fiirm a cart fbr the luggage, on our arrival, and six pair of wheels, of differ- ent sizes and widths. It is, however, generally thought that Esquimaux dogs will be more serviceable ill convey- ing our luggage on sledges of various sizes, in case it should be found necessary to use them. The Snap, sur- veying sloop, accompanios us as far as the ice near Hud- son's Strait, where we take out the store, provisions, & c., and part company. The Snap will then proceed to New- foundland, to continue the surveys of that coast. T'iiese particulars will give you some idea of the manner in which we are to proceed on our arrival at Hudson's Strait. I trust we shall fully succeed in the object in view ; at all events, every thing that courage and perseverance can accomplish will be effected."— West Briton. SUGAR. Raw ( Barbnd 56s to 60s Do.
