PARIS, DEC 11.— The gresSt storm on the night of the ISth and 191b ( as reported in ihe papers of yes- terday, under the head of St. Petersburg!!), was one of Ihe greatest phenomena that have been witnessed in Ihe physical history of Europe. The direction of the storm was as follows It commenced ou the shores of England and Holland, and, after doing great mischief in the Northern sea, and causing numerous shipwrecks on Ihe coast of Jutland, it passed by Gottenbnrgh and Stockholm, increasing from the south- west and north- east In passing through Sweden, it tore up whole forests ; but it was naturally in ihe Gulf of Finland thai it carried the most frightful ravages • its force continued lis far as Ibis.— In one instant it forced ihe waters of the Baltic into the Gulf of Finland, which, terminating1 in a point towards the east, must necessarily, porti. cularly towards its extremity, have caused a sudden and extraordinary height. This line, which appears to represent a double curve, terminated by some high lands, presents on the map a space of between 370 anil 400 leagues, which the storm traversed in a few minutes, perhaps in One minute, for ii is not yet ascertained what was Ihe exact time at which it commenced its ravages iii tlie different countries through which it passed.

JOHN WILLIAMS, Clerk to the Trustees of the said Turnpike Roads. Shrewsbury, 9th Dec. 1824. ST. PETKRSBURCH, NOV. 24.— Respecting thfc dreadful misfortune which visiied our city on the 19th, the Court Gazette does not yet contain any particulars, and the Conservateur Impartial only the following article : — " A dreadful misfortune, such as lins not been seen for nearly half a century, has plunged this capital into the greatest consternation. On the 19th of this month the fteva, swelled by tlie influx of the water from the Gulf of Finland*, which was driven up by a violent wind, rose imperceptibly over its banks, and the whole city was inundated in a moment. It was not till a quarter past two o'cloek tiiat the. water began to recede^ and about the mid- dle of the night, the river had subsided to iis ordi- nary level. Thej^ n refuses to trace the details of ibis dreadful event and its frightful consequences, to which the inferior Classes of the people in particular have been victims. The quays, a pari of the bridges, a great number of public ami private establishment, are destroyed or much injured. The loss of the commercial community is incalculable. It is impose sibl'e io recount the instances of courage and human- ity shown by a great number of persons of all- classes Under, these circumstances. Every street, and al- most every house, was a scene of tlie most affecting self denial. ••' " As a witness of these events, and always ready t( vrepair the evils wflich the inscrutable decrees of Providence now and then bring on the people of his great empire, our august Sovereign lias already anticipated the hopes of the inhabitants of this capital, and measures have been prescribed to alle- viate their sufferings. His Majesty has been pleased to assig- n t lie sn mof a m311 ion of r u bles ( a ho n t £ 50,000) relieve the most Urgent wants of the poorest classes.'" Besides this, we learn the following particulars : — " Tbe fmperfnl Palace of OaHtei- ioenknf, with all its late fine improvements, Emiljano. wka, Kurtjjus Island, and all the country houses oil the great road to Riga, to the distance of; twelve versts ( Smiles), have suffered incredible damage. The numbet of persons who have perished In this iunuHation pro- bably amounts fo some thousands. The number of animals that have been drowned is beyond all cOiji. ceptiou. The last great liiundation w-' ns in Septern-.;- her, 1777, but this one. was, still gretwpj?,- - the water having risen an arsheen and a quarter higher. It. is, supposed that aboW 300,000 poods. ( 10,800.000 lbs.) of sugar are damaged, and the half entirely melted and washed away. Next to sugar, the loss of twist iri particular is very great; and. among the articles of Russian produce, hemp, pot ashes, and hemp? oil, have suffered very much. In consequence of these events, a great rise hns token place in. tlie -' prices of many goods, chiefly sugars. While Havaifn.- ili, has risen from 27 to 35, and refined from 38 to 58." ' A Committee, of which M. Bilikow, Counsellor of" State, is President, has been appointed to superin- tend the distribution of the above- mentioned million of rubies among the sufferers by tlie inundation'. Habitations have been assigned for the present in the Hotel of the Military Governor for those who are destitute df shelter.

J— It is our melancholy duty fo state, from numerous private and mercantile letters arrived to- day from St. Petersburg!), that ihe disaster which visited that great city on the 19th, far exceeds every idea that was formed of ii from the first accounts. The waves of the Gulf of Finland, forced by the hurricane into the Neva, overflowed the whole city, lying ii'- arly on one level, and its environs, in a moment in such a manner, that it may he said that the lower story of all the houses, & c. was quite filled, which, in many cases, rose into the second story, and entirely overflowed the low habitations and booths, of which in many instances not a traee is to be seen, so that several villages in ihe immediate vicinity— for instance Emil janowka, are no more to be fou<; d. It was stated ( and here we may justly say the pen refuses its office) that the corpses of 8000 persons had already been found The letters by the mail before ibis expressed fears e. f a general famine from the destruction of such quantities of provisions, especially of all the bread, and the ruin of the ovens. The Exchange had been fitted up to receive4001) persons. Amrtlgst the Imperial Estab- lishments that have suffered, all those at Cronstadt are mentioned, which were exposed to the first fury of the floods; the damage done to the Imperial Fleet is said to be immense. The Imperial Iron Manufactory nt Catharinenkof, which was under water, and where 200 workmen perished ; of 18 barracks, 15 Were washed away, & c. With respect to goods, it is reckoned that two. thirds of all the sugars were spoiled, all the pot- ashrs destroscd, aud three- quarters of the hemp have been under water. The herring magazines, with 15,000 barrels of her- rings, are washed away. It is scarcely necessary to add, that Under these circumstances a most alarming want of credit has ensued, and the tnosf ruinous ' on^ erjuences to trade were feared, as all the trades- people. have suffered severely, and many of fhetn must be considered as ruined for a long time to come. GOTTENBURGJI, NoV. 20.— The night - before hist we had a storm unparalleled in the memory of man, Mnny ships are greatly damaged, and one vacht sunk. Several houses were totally- unroofed, and an immense number of panes of glass destroyed. The Water rose rapidly, and inundated all the lower part of the town ; one man perished. Much damage lias been done in the neighbourhood. We do not know the particulars. Accounts from Uddewalla say, that that town has presented a scene of oenerrtl devastation ; the water rose eight feet. above the usual level, so rapid that many persons had not time to escape to the higher parts of the town, but took refuge on the roofs. Furniture, whole houses, were carried away by the current, and large ships thrown upon the shore fo the distance of 4000 feet from their anchorage. The darkness nf the night augmented ihe horrors of this scene. When day- break showed the effVcis of the storm and the inundation, tlie streets were seen to be filled with . beam « , fragments of houses and vessels, and even a ship of 150 tons burden. Fortunately no person perished 5 but numbers uf caltU were drowoed.

Desperate Female liobber.— HATTON GAR- DEN.— On Wednesday, Sarah Jones, known in the vicinity of Holborn by the name of " the female ller, cutes," from her extraordinary strength and prowess', was brought up in custody of four or five powerful men, charged with forcibly taking from the person of Joseph Preston, a pocket- book, eon- fcHning'two notes for £ 1 each of the Birmingham arul. " Stafford - baitk's, a sovereign, & e. The com-, idainan', who is a working tar trier, residing at ilurket Drayton, in Shropshire, slated, that he went into a public- house in Gray's Inn- lane, and 6aJ. led. for a pint o' hale, and while in the tap- room afore the fire, the good lady at the post there ( the bar) cum'd in, and sat down alongside him, very loving- like : so he couldn't do other than ax her to drink.. There was a glass or two ; and when lie took out bis purse to pay for what was in, the lady forced it out of his hand, and went off but of the . room. He-( complainant) - thought as how ? die was a niuighty plt asant, funny sort 6f a parson, and that it was all in a joke ; but he never saw nothing . 110 more either of her or tlie purs> e, which contained £ 3 and 5s. in silver; and he then found to his cost that there is no joke like a true joke. He told the whole story lo the landlord, who said he knew nothing of ihe girl, and desired him ( complainant), if he lost any money, to speak to a constable about it. Welldon, the street- keeper, who apprehended the prisoner, said, he attempted to open her month, but failed He conveyed her to a dentist's shop, where she fwas held down by four men, and an instrument called a spatula was introduced, and the jaws were thereby sufficiently distended for the witness to insert his finger, aud fr « tm the corner of the mouth lie drew forth the two bank notes; but the sovereign not being any where to be found, it is presumed that she contrived to swallow it in the struggle. The empty pocket- book was in her pocket when apprehended .— When called on for het- defence bv the Magistrate, she merely replied, u D— n it, if you think I took them from the fool, why don't you hook me at once, without any more " bother?"

This morning, in the Court of King's Bench, Mr. White, the proprietor of the Indian Observer newspaper, had a verdict, with £ 200 damages, recorded against him, for a'libel on Mr. Smith, the Master of the William Faiilie East Indiatnan. Advices are said to have been received from St. Petersburgh, which state that the general number of persons who perished . during the late inun- dations in that city, and all the neighbouring places, was 30,000. His Royal Highness the Duke of York has been pleased to appoint Dr.. Mac Michael, of London, to be one of the Physicians to His Royal Eigh- jjess's Household. The Bankrupt Commissioners in the cade of Messrs. Marsh, St racy, and Company, met on Saturday last. None of the Partners were ex- amined, though Messrs. Stracy, Graham, and Marsh, seemed anxiously to offer themselves for examination. A balance sheet was produced by Mr. Montague, which stated the Whole debts at £ 554,000 The available assets at 400,000 And the assets in bad, or doubtful debts at 234,000 According to this view of the state of the con- cern, ( which should, nowever, be received with caution;) the Creditors are sure of a dividend of about fifteen, shillings in the pound, and have a chance of a payment in full,, leaving a considerable balance over to the Bankrupts. The claim of the frank of England, arising out of Mr. Fauiltleroy's frauds, is not indeed included in the'general state- merit of debts ; but this is of no great consequence, for there is little chance of that claim being ad- vanced, and none whatever of its being allowed either in law or equity. Mr. Montague stated that a srnn of £ 100,000 was in hand, ready for distribution among the Creditors, whenever the law should authorise a dividend. The sum for which it was Suggested that the Bank possibly might claim is £ 250,000.

Helving on your feeling these sentiments, aud boping to see. them in your Paper the next time it is laid upon my table, 1 am, Sir, Your's, A CONSTANT SUBSCRIBER. Dec. 17, 1824. Answer to a letter in the last Stafford paper, Dec. 11, dated Birminghatn. Mr. EDITOR,— The vulgar sc. uijriiity of a,,. Bir- mingham manufactured letter iii your last. Paper would not deserve any answer, but that il contained assumptions which if uii'contrndicled might lie taken for granted. THE PROJECTED RAIL- WAY IS NOT OF GENERAL PUBLIC UTI- LITY ; nor is it even of local consequence enough to authorize so extensive au invasiuu of private rights: it is calculated only for the, benefit of pro- jectors as a Job, and the private convenience of two towns at its extremities. It is beyond the reasonable limits of this letter to enumerate all the evils which proprietors will thereby sustain ; suffi- cient be it to say that the injuries wil) not be con- fined to the Iut/ rsectiou of Estates nj. bne, but will be broadly detrimental to all the agricultural inter- ests adjacent thereto. Il is iiiitruejlint ihti opposers of the scheme appear under false- colours aud are Canal owners iu disguise: but it is true that its supporters do so, for there is not one eonsfcientious person among them will dare to say- that public benefit is their motive. I offer my sentiments iu the former class, and having no canal interest whatsoever to bias my judgment I appear under no false colours ; and, though a laud owner and occu- pier, I assert that 1 can give as honest and patriotic aa opinion as any plate worker, cotton' spinner, or engineer, whom the writer assumes to be exclusively patriotic, aud firmly believe 1 speak the sentiments of every respectable gentleman and farmer iu my vicinity. As to our defieiences in common sense, I will at any rate put in my claim to sOuie little of that useful article by informing tile writer, that being hurried away by tiie spirit of the tidies I' became a considerable owner of C'ahal Shares, in. llie very undertaking- which Tiwnty years ago drove me from my native residence, but have had the sense to part with them at somiS disfcbunt before tlie property was threatened by the ptt- sent bare- faced invaders of these and other interests. Asa further voucher for the respectability of iny opinion, I will slate that 1 have placed my present domicile at an expense of upwards of £ 110,000, that iny interests are inseparable from those of jfnt- Country at large, that I love her histitittioirsft. a^ W have the •' fullest confidence in the integrity o^ h'er'ftiirliaineilt and its power to protect every Englishman in his own castle, however humble'nud tndbtriisive, as ill iny own, may be bis situation in life. I now most earnestly iiivite. 1; niy countrymen whose interests are centered in their, native soil, to form a just estimate of their present advantages as respects locality and markets : I invite farmers to consider the numberless injuries tV. theic respective occupancies; I invite the. resident on or near the lin M& M ' cation, in a respectable School in Shrop- shire, a Lady as ASSISTANT, w'ho is at least 20 Years of Age She must be Mistress of the English Language, and be able to assist in the Instruction of Flower Painting.- - Letters ( Post- paid) addressed to A.

[ FROM THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLE.] On Tuesday afternoon, about half- past 4 o'clock, the boiler of what is termed a high- pressure steam- engine, employed iu the large machine- makers' shop of Messrs. Windsors and Hyde, in Major- street, near Portland- street, in this town, burst suddenly with a tremendous explosion,, and blew the whole of the building, which was three stories high, into the air. The outer walls, all the 6001- ings, the mass of heavy iron and other materials, with the entire contents of the premises, were car- ried upwards, and fell iu one uudistinguishable mass of ruins into the very foundations of the ori- ginal structure. Five and forty hands, chiefly men, were'the usual number of workmen employed ill these shops1.1"- Nearly the whole, if not all, these parties wei'&' fii the building when this. devastation, which part. mk of the properties of an earthquake, occurred. Such a scene of horror aiid confusion as followed the event call hardly be conceived. We have very lately had occasion to give our Readers some idea of the sensations caused by a similar calamity iu its results, though arising from a very different cause. In that, the work of death was much more extensive. In this instance, the mor- tality has been confined to few sufferers,- compara- tively ; and 111 respect of hurt or wo'uuded, a'lso to very few. Yet the present visitation was most appalling. Distress and anguish of mind, from ihe uncertainty of who was or was not a victim to the terrible visitation, were at once excited to the highest pitch. All the neighbourhood was roused ; ihe Municipal Officers, Major Eckersley, a detach- ment of the Scotch Greys, Sir. Richard Ormrod, and many respectable persons, adopted the most efficacious methods for extricating from beneath the ruins those hapless individuals who might be buried alive, or wtto were released by Death from their miserable state. That dreadful vapour the scalding steam had with the ponderous masses of fallen wreck equally inflicted it* painful injuries. Henry Robinson, Tims. Wheeler, Henry M'Lough- lalid, aud John Blaze, workmen, were killed 011 the pot, « t died very soon after the explosion, in the Infirmary ; William Ilolden has also died there. Thomas W- instanley, and Jonathan Taylor, are in the Infirmary in 11 dangerous state from being scalded and wounded. Several lives were saved, amongst them that, of one of the employers, by the parties being left on parts of the projecting timber which did not instaujlv fall. Some, feeling the ground rise under tliejn, instinctively leaped through the glazed windows. and escaped, almost miraculously, unhurt. One man,, bis wife who had brought him tea, and his infant with which he was fondling, were left 011 a projection of an upper story, iu im- minent danger. Bv the: direct presence of mind of this man, w hose evidence is stated below, himself and family were successively let down hy a leathern strap, anil saved. Two other persons were also thus extricated. To ascertain whether all tbe sufferers were got out of the ruins continued to be for several hours. a matter of extreme care to all the humane persons who were employed in this arduous task. Amongst the workmen Were two whose safety was still doubtful. It was not known where tbey lodged', nor where inquiry could be made after them, and therefore Mr. Lavender directed fresh efforts to be . made in removing the lower strata of the ruins, to look, for them. This continued till about nine o'clock, when it was satisfactorily ascertained that no more human beings were immo- lated. Proper persons and the military were then left in protection of the premises till the following day, to be relieved iu their duty at suitable intervals of time. The shock caused by this explosion was felt to the extent of a quarter of a mile on every side of tbe premises iii which it happened. All the buildings in the adjoining streets were shaken. Many of tbe inhabitants Were greatly terrified, and rustled out of their houses ; some were less so, but yet experi- enced an unusual effect from it. They thought something heavy had fallen in their own apart, ments, and they sought through their dwellings for a cause. Few were aware of the awful accident which had befallen their neighbours. The house next to the machine- shops received so much of the blast that a large portion of the western side was carried awav, and nearly all the windows were shattered. Its inmates, who were seated at tea in the room on the ground- floor whose wall was broken in, most happily were not hurt. I11 another room were two children at play: the explosion burst the wall, sent violently into the room dis. rapted materials and a quantity of boiling' water from the engine, and vet the children were little injured. Their fortunate mother bad just quitted the apartment, and thus escaped from apparently James Windsor, one of the masters, was at this same end where he was, and, by his assistance, escaped through the window'by means of a strap put round his body, by which same means extiininanl, his wife, aud his child also escaped. Says he never heard that any thing wrong was aboui the boiler, but lie would not recommend the use of such boilers. Says that in his opinion tire engineer is a very skilful man, that he was within leu yards of the boiler when the explosion happened, jind was quite sober; that siuce he came to the « hop, no accident has happened till this happened. William Hall, aged twenty- one years, the engineer at the machine- shop before mentioned, deposed that he hire been employed there ( this last time) three weeks. There was a flaw in tiie boiler, but a plate had been put upon it, which made it not as strong as the other parts. Says he tit*', er mentioned this ( flaw) to his masters, not tlliilking it, worth notice. He had been employed at one Isaac Howe's, where there was au high- pressure boiler made of wro'uglltliron ; it ran upon castors, being a small one : high- pressure engines are often worked, particularly in Staffordshire: accidents sometimes happen. Savs that io the present in- stance he had a safety- valve to go by; there was 110 extra weight upon'it ot the time of'tlie accident • there was 241b. and Iblb. 011, \ vhich was 181b. under the ordinary pressure : they always reckoned it to bear from 60 to 64 pounds : lie was just gone into the smithy, close by, when the accident hap- pened. . Says it is six months since he went to this shop at ( he first, and ihe plate was on the flaw then. He cannot say whether the boiler burst at the flaw or not, it was in so many pieces after the explosion. — After hearing ibis evidence, the Jury consulted for a short time, and then came to the following verdict:—" That the deceased lost their lives on the 14th instant by the accidental explosion of a steam- engine boiler, in Major. street, iu Manchester aforesaid." The number of persons killed is five; of wounded, severely, seven. London: WILLIAM CHARLTON WRIGHT, Publisher, 65, Paternoster Row, and may be pro. cured iu a few days of all Booksellers.

Sir J. C. HIPPISLEY, Bart. V. P. in '. lie Chair. ' file minutes of Ihe General Meetings having been read bv Ihe secretary, he proceeded to read Ihe Reports of the several Committees. That of the Committee of Superintendence, after referring to the various matters which had occupied the alien, lion of the scveial meetings, concluded as follows : " When your Committee recollect that it is no " more than two years since ihe most gloomy views " were taken of the prospects of all those connected " with land; that its possession was called a mis- " fortune, and its cultivation ruin ; and that at the " present moment so great is the change which has " taken place, that land is considered so little of an " evil as lo command above 40 years' purchase on " sales of extraordinary extent, and the greatest and " most certain money establishments are eagerly " advancing large sinusal a reduction of one- fifth of " the legal interest; your Committee cannot hut " congratulate the Society, not merely that adequate " pricesare now obtained for produce, and regularity " in Ibe payment of rents, bill on the . conviction that most now be universally felt, that when the re- " sources of this country are left to their foil and free deyelopenient, released from the shackles of 14 unwise restrictions, and unembarrassed ! iv foreign " hostilities, there is scarcely an assignable limit to " the prosperity she may attain. Anil that if eve 44 again a momentary depression should be felt iu 44 any of her great interests, ihe sufferers of thai dav 44 may look back lo the events of the last two yeal's 44 and cease to despair." Sir T. I. KTHBRIDGE then addressed the meeting at some length, expressing his doubts whether the Report was justified in broadly stating that the land of the Country was now worth 40 years' purchase Such might have been the case ' in recent sales TIMBER.

RICHARD DOWNES, Secretary ; To whom the earliest fuformation is required to be1 given respecting any Offence whatever, as afore- said. inei itable death, as she had been seated exactly in the place to which these dangerous things were hurried. Three pieces of iron, each piece about fifty pounds in weight, fragments of the . boiler, were blown from the shops to a considerable height in the air. Passing over two adjoining houses, one of then? fell into a back yard ; another struck the gable end of a house about forty yards from the site of the explosion and perforated the brick wall ; aud the third broke through the roof of a house at a still greater distance ; but happily no person was hurt by any of them. Many whole bricks were carried to Considerable distances; still no one suffered from them. In the first instance a fire- engine became necessary, for the ruins Were ignited; and the noble engine of the Norwich Union Otnee, rxcel- ' ently nian. ned^ iti a short time performed the neces- sary seryiesii. of eiitirely extinguishing the dangerous element. The puUHc feelings will naturally be directed to the cause of#}^ iterrible disaster, and on this sub jeet many conflicting opinions will arise. It will be seen in the evidence which we subjoin, as taken before the Coroner and his Jury on the inquiry which legally^, follows all occasions of sudden or donb: ful death, that 110 culpability is thereby attached to any one. The first evidence was a gentleman well known for his scientific acquaint- ance with the construction of steam boilers, and lie states, wh; « t soft - of- material is. necessary for them, . and the danger which he attaches to the presence of high- pressure engines. Some of the jury made pertkteut' the state of tfie safety- valve at the time of the accident, and as to what weight the engineer had placed upon it. Many conjectures are entertained, into which we do not think ourselvesjustified to enter. To attach culpa- bility. ou vrigue grounds call produce no good. The main point for the attention of those to whom these dangerous instruments are necessarily confided is, to use due diligence in future precaution. For Em- ployers it is important, to be judicious in trusting the lives of their workmen and the care of their property to none but persons of sufficient skill. This is a bouftdeii duty. Whether it. be fit that the high- pressure Engine ought to be worked in the ce- ntre of a throng' population, is a question of great importance; We presume very few of them are so situated. Governnient, by a Law for the purpose, precluded tiie use of them in steam navigation vessels, in: consequence of one or more of their boilers ha. VHfg . exploded and blown the vessels out of the water, maiming and destroying tlie unfortu- nate passengers '— Sorry, indeed, t are we to add, that several Widows and fatherless children will have to dejilore the loss of their protectors 011 this occasion.— An Inqiiest was held on Wednesday evening, at the Town Hall Ta verti, be fore Joh n Milne, Esq. on the bodies of Thomas Wheeler Heury Mac Xouchland, John Blaze, and Henry Robinson ( t^ jast name was returned to the Coroner by mistake as William Holden, who has since died in the. Iunrmary), aud the following evidence was given to the Jury : — Mr. Richard^ Ormrod, of this town, iron- founder, deposed that he was in Major- street last night after the accident in question, and saw parts of the engine and machinery broken to pieces ; that there was one- piece- of iron which appeared to be a part of the door of a boiler of cast iron, and that there was a piece of vyrougbt iron across the cast iron, which • shewed that it. bad been. repaired, and that very well. The boiler was never repaired at. his foundry, to his knowledge. He could not pretend to form aiiy idea whether the boiler was safe or not; it was an highipressure One, which requires more lharf ordiiiari caie ; a scientific man should look after such a boiler : had he known a boiler of thi: description ha^ heen at work in any street through which lie ha^ tpvpass, he would have kept his distance f^ Oiir'k. When lie made a steam engine boiler of high pressure, it was made of wrought iron, and double rivetted, as being thus considered to be more secure in the construction.—^ Joseph Hopkinsoii, a turner ot Messrs. Windsors and Hyde's, . the machine makers in Major- street, de- posed that lie has worked with them since last Easter. Their shops were three stories high. About twenty m- i- nntes past four o'clock yesterday afternoon his wife came to him with his tea, and iu a few minutes he went to a grindiug- stone in the room, which was" in the second story, and whilst talking with his wife and nursing his child, the explosion took place at the contrary end of the room to where he was. There were forty- five men and iads 011 the ground at work at the time. Mr. where the property was of particular value from iis situation; but he did not think that the Society, holding as itfdid, so high a station iu the opinion of the country, would be acting properly in stating tiie circumstance as a general fact. Mr. Er. WiN aod Sir J. C. HIPI'ISIEY, agreed that the sentence in question was at least liable to mis construction, and the following amendment was ultimately agreed to; that " such was the improved value of laud, as to have brought unprecedented prices in recent instances," leaving out u forty years purchase," & c. A variety of improvements in agricultural imple- ments, plans i » f agricultural and cottage erections, & c. were submitted forjfnspection, and discussed by the Members. A precis of a letter from bv. Wilkinson, at Geneva, was read, communicating some observations on t. he mode of harnessing cows and oxen adopted in that Canton, and on the advantage of employing cows in agriculture. The mode ot harnessing oxen in tiie canton of Geneva appears to the Doctor superior to that used in other countries. The farmers there em- ploy two yokes, one attached to the forehead and horn, and the other to the withers : they are thus enabled to adjust ibe draught of each beast i 11 pro- portion to their respective strength, by drawing tlie, stronger animal nearer the point of insertion' in draught. Willi this view, three hooks or rings are fixed to the central back par? of the neck yoke, in a right line, and at the distance of two inches from each other : the drawing chain or pole is fixed to one of these hooks or rings.— The Doctor, Observing the ease with which the. animals thus harnessed work either in the waggon or the plough, and the simplicity and economy of the construction of the materials em- ployed, was anxious to procure a model for the Society's inspection ; and Mr. W. Falconer, sou of Dr. Falconer, of Bath,, who was then leavjug Gene promised to have a model executed in Bath. The Doctor then gives the substance ofa dissertation that lately obtained a premium from the Agricultural Society of Geneva, in which the writer, Mr. Favre, gives the result of experiments made by him, as to the advantage of employing cows iu agricultural labour. He has ascertained that eight cows and two horses are competent 10 the same labour as four oxen and two horses; and if the cows do not work more ban four hours a day, and their labour be moderate, there is very litile loss of milk, in fact, not more than five per cent. They do not require more than four weeks rest before calving, and six weeks after. They have a longer Step, aud are lighter in their walk than oxen: hence they are more advantageous than oxen to be harnessed With horses. Mr. BENETTsaid he had seen pigs as well as cows ns^ d in draught work, but it was only where the farmers were very low. If cows were so used, milk could not be expected from them ; and lie t.' rusted that the time was far distant when cows or pigs would used in draught work. If oxen were so used after they were three. years old till they were six, it would, be. most useful, promoting their growth ; and he would willingly lend oxen for three years to persons who would use t rem in draught work.— Mr. ErAv^ N remarked that in the ricighbourhood of Geneva there were some of the poorest " farmers in the world, which might account for their using cows. The Members of the Society, to the number of 150, dined at the White Hart Inn, on the 14th insl. The Marquis of LANSDOWNR was in the chair. The cloth having been removed, the Noble Marquis gave " The King," their patron, ( Loud applause. )— The Dtike of York and the Army— The Duke- of Clareji. tv and the Navy— and Prosperity to the Bath and West of England Society. ( Loud applaiae. J Lord CORK then proposed the Health of their noble Chairman, the Marquis of Lansdowne. The Noble Marquis lose amidst the Warm plaudits of the company. He said, it was impossible for biui not tofeel grateful for the manner in which hi* health had been given; and he should always feel happy at the opportunity of contributing to the success of this valuable Society, As to the great interests of the country, he was happy to say that they were more prouiisino than heretofore; and he was proud to re- collect that, amidst all their apprehensions, well founded in many instances, that Society liad never encouraged, even for an instant, any thing like despondency. ( flear, hear.) The only object of the Society had been to promote w hat was calculated to advance the interests of the country generally. Considerable relief was felt, and lhat amelioration was connected with the great alterations that the country had experienced ; and that resulted partly from the reduction of the taxes— fheur, hear,) and partly from the' great extension of trade. ( ffear. J He confidently . looked forward to a still further extension of these benefits, especially from that remedial process fa reduction of taxation) which had already had so much effect. ( Hear.) In conclusion he begged to give the health of the Lord Lieutenant of the County, The Marquis of Bath. ( Applause.) A variety of other toasts and sentiments, with the distribution of the Premiums, concluded the festivity and business of the meeting. i^ tifiifcUans?!) « s Ettteltigcttce.

RAIL. ROAT>.— On the 13rh instant, a meeting of some of the moat respectable individuals, mer- chants, bankers, and others, was held al ihe White Lion Inn, Bristol, to take into consideration the propriety of forming a rail- road ou Ihe loco mo- tivesteain engine principle from thence to Birming- ham, including the intermediate places, Gloucester, Worcester, the Collieries, & c. & c. Il was pro- posed to raise a fund of £ Sd) 0,000 for the above purpose, in 10,000 shares, at £ 50 per share, anil to be appropriated as follows, viz. Bristol, 7,000 ; Ireland, 1000 ; Gloucester, 1000 3 Worcester,- 1500; and Birmingham, 2500; the remaining 3000 reserved, and lo be al ihe disposal of the committee of direction, for the tTccontnioda'. ioii of Ihe land- owners aud other gentlemen interested 011 Ihe intended line. The. shares allotted lo Bristol were subsciibed for in one hour iu the room, aud treble that number would have beeir taken in three hours more; the same evening a considerable num. her were transferred at'a premium of 30s. or 40?. per share, ami subsequently at a considerable ad- vance. Several meetings have been held in London with a view to the formation of a Company, with a capital of two millions five hundred thousand pounds, for connecting, hy Kail. ways, the towns of Birmingham, Manchester, and Hull vvith the Metropolis. NEW RAIL Roto COMPANIES.— Durirtg tha past week, the rage lo obtain rail road shares has risen in Birmingham to a most extraordinary heights aud Ibe newly formed companies have afforded ex- tensive opportunities to those eager for specula- tion.— At a meeting of gentlemen interested iu the intended Birriiinghum and Liverpool Kail road, held on Wednesday last at the Royal Hotel, BI I'll)-' ingfiam, Robert Smith, F. srf. High Bailiff, in ihe chair, it was resolved that a rail road from that town to tbe city of London, connected with Ihe proposed Liverpool rail, road, and furnishing a direct and rapid communication across Ihe country from Ihe port of London to that of Liverpool, would facilitate the intercourse with Ireland, and be of the highest national advantage; and thai a company be forthwith formed, with a capital of one million sterling, divided into 20,000 shares al £ 50 each. A committee was then formed of six and twenty individuals for Ibe purpose of carrying the resolutions into effect, with power to add lo their number, and increase the capital by additional shares, if necessary. Messrs. Alttvoods, Spooner, and Co, were appointed treasurers, and Mr. Barker, solicitor to the company. Names were immediately subscribed for a great number of shares, and ihe book being removed lo the treasurers',' those allot, led lo Birmingham were all engaged in the course of that and tbe following day. Intimation of lire establishment of the. Company at Bristol reached Birmingham 011 Tuesday morn- ing, and becoming soon spread abroad, the bank of Messes. Altwooda and Co. was thronged by persons desirous of subscribing their namesj. and such was the eagerness displayed that Ihe number of shares appropriated lo that place ( 2500) was en. gaged in less lhau Iw » hours afterwards. Many who were disappointed in obtaining shares did not hesitate immediately to offer premiums, and shares rapidly advanced until they reached £ 7 premium. The intelligence respecting the Bristol meeting was received at Worcester 011 the same morning, and, in a few hours after Ihe subscription books were opened at Ihe Old Bank, 1- 200 or 1300 shares were subscribed for, and Ihe next day Ihe whole number assigned to Worcester was engaged. The number reserved for Gloucester was also promptly subscribed for. The Duke of Devonshire has Consented lo Itie High Peak Sleam Railway,- which is to join Ihe Cromford canal, being made through his Grace's estates without requiring any remuneration for his land. The sum of £ 150,000 has already beeu sub- scribed towards this projected undertaking. GAS- LIGHTS. —' The Allgmeinc Zeilunp, of Ihe 9th instant, contains au article, dated Berlin, November 29, on Ihe subject of the Continental Gas Company, recently formed by Sir William' CongreVe. The lamps iu the Prussian capital are not 10 he supplied from a general gasometer by means of pipes, but each lamp is lo be provided Willi a seoarate reservoir. No opposition is made to the plans of Ihe company, . but il is stated la give rise to divers grave thoughts, as il is con- sidered that Ihe annual protit will find its way to that fortunate island, aud add lo the great mass of German wealth, which during ibe last ten years, the Britons, with practical fiuauical pene- tration, have contrived to draw into their hands.'* On Wednesday, Jones and Weaver, convicted of the robbery of Earl Cowper's Steward, were ex- ecuted al Hertford, pursuant lo their sentence. TIIE PAPISTS.— Two curious- documents were issued from Ihe Papal Chair 111 May last, which are peculiarly interesting lo those who observe 11 Ihe signs of the times " The first purports to be u " Circular Letter," addressed to Ihe Dignitaries of the Romish Church, and abounds with severe anathemas against Protestants in general, and Bible Societies in particular. I11 alluding to the exertions of the latter to disseminate the ficiip- tures, his Holiness, in 11 transport of indignant zeal, exclaims—" Let God arise, and let hiirt suppress, destroy, and reduce to nothing, ibis unbridled licentiousness of speaking, writing, aud publishing!" The second is called " The Bull of Indiclion, or Jubilee for tbe year 1825," and in- vites all the faithfift to visit Rome during the ensuing year " of grace and jubilee ;" for file trifling expense of which journey they are promis- ed " the most plenary id complete indulgence, remission, and pardon o f all their sins /" pro- vided, nevertheless, they shall not omit to pour out iheir prayers to G> d for " the exaltation of the Holy Church," aud " the extirpation of here- sies." If any one should be hardy enough lo oppose the injunctions of his spiritual father, such impious wight is informed, thai " he will incur ihe indignation of omnipotent God, nnd of his blessed Apostles Peter aud Paul.'" THE WASSAILfcBS.* OH What a scene ! the moon to- night Spreads o'er, the vale her silvery light;— Ami hark ! 1 catch, though Car and faint, A doubtful tone of cheer or plaint. Open the lattice, Ellen dear, And tell me do i dream or hear ? The night is still—- no wandering breeze Is moaning through our coppiee'trees. " Nay, ' tis no fancy — now ' tis plain-— CleVr and more clear the fitful strain,— And now distinct, and loud and long, — liight welcome 1 ' tis the'VVassail song; And now are hush'd the song, the shout, And on there comes a silent rout, A dark group up the village green Like robbers in some moonlight scene;— Who soon along the straggling street In turn each modest mansion greet, And raise the carol shout of yore To sheltering roof and open door. Where'er they turn— a welcome band— They blfss the master's liberal hand, ' I he mistress kind, the children dear, The Christinas glee, and fireside cheer. Now here they are by our own gate, Beneath our e'aves they must not wait* Away ! let every hand prepare, For every hand some gift must bear. The biscuit wallet one may take, And one the cheese and Christmas cake ; One fill the foaming pitcher, one Bear the full cider- firkin on ; — And, what! my waken'd puppet here \ Oh ! give me, nurse, my baby dear ;— In her own tiny'hand she'll bear The spicy nutmeg for her share. Now for a shout '.— all hands are up,' Each lip around shall press the, cup. To give the Wassail's : heaity cheer— * Merry Chiistmas tide and a happy.

I kuow nOt how this happen- ed : I suppose the Wassail was once' generally practised, throughout England, though lately confined to the West- ern counties, and now it is only the privilege of a few villages. As 1 remember, it was a rustic festival that ushered in the Christmas - holidays: the peasantry of each village used to assemble and proceed from door to door, provided with large pitchers, singing the wassail song in the manner 1 Have described. The song cannot be charged with any ribaldry, nor was it. accompanied with any mum- mery, except that the group, passing on to the hOrae- orcliard, laid a toast dipped in cider on one of the trees, cut a branch of nijsletoe, and sung a few rude rhymes,- charming the apple- tree " from blight and blast./' and charging her " to blow an'd to bear." A simple address of thanks and good wishes was made to the master of the house and his family; and receiving some beer, cider, cake, cheese, & c. they departed. When they had gone through the village, they repaired to some house previous- ly agreed upon, where, meeting their wives and children, they passed the night in the usual gambols of the season. THE FISHER. [ From the German of Goethe.'} THE water roll'd-— the water swell'd, A fisher sat beside ; Calmly bis patient watch he held Beside the freshening tide : And while his patient watch he keeps. The parted waters rose, And froai the oozy ocean- deeps A water- maiden rose, fehe spake, to him, she sang to him— " Why lur'st thoii so my brood, With cunning art and cruel heart, From out their native flood ? Ah ! couldst thou know, how here below Our peaceful lives g- lide o'er, Thou ' dst leave thine earth, and plunge beneath To seek our happier shore. Bathes not the golden sun his face The moon too in the sea ; And rise they not from their resting place More beautiful to see ? And lures thee not the clear deep heaven Within the waters blue,— And thy form so fair, so mirror'd thtfre In that eternal dew ?" The water roll'd— the water swell'd, Tt reacii'd his naked feet; He felt as at his Love's approach His bounding bosom beat-; She spake to him^ she sang to him, His short suspense is oVr ; — Half drew she him, half dropp'd he in,- And sank- to rise no more. PTFRSECTTLON OF SALMON, With interesting Anecdotes Connected with the Natural History of that valuable Fish< A View of the present State of the Salmon Fisheries, a* i< J the Statute Laws by which they are regulated, & c. & c. By J. CORNISH, ESG. 8vo. pp. 217. Loud. 1324. Longman and Co. I [ FROM THE LITERARY GAZEFTE.} The subjects embraced by this volume are ex- ceedingly important— more so, perhaps, in the extended view which every- considerate mind must take of them, than even in their existing circum- stances, though they so largely affect our national necessaries, luxuries, and commerce. It is, there- fore, 110 less surprising than strange that the public should be so ignorant about them ; and as regard- less as ignorant. There is a common saying, that a person drinks like a fish ; and truly, if we were to examine the population of these islands on their knowledge of the habits, & e. of fish, we should find that nine out of ten never thought more about them than that they lived in the water and drank it excessively. That their preservation on our coasts and in our rivers would diminish the expense of provisions to an incalculable extent, and supply, a nutritious food to the poorest of the poor, seems hardly to have attracted the serious attention of the legislature, and cannot be supposed to have occu- pied the consideration of the multitude. So long ago as 1818, Mr. Robert Frazer published a 4to. volume, in which he clearly and practically jointed out the immense advantages which might » e derived from our domestic fisheries ; i. e. the fisheries on the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, What became of his surveys, plans, and bill in parliament, we know not; we only know that, fish are neither more plentiful nor more cheap now than they were six years ago, when he so ably'demon- st rated the facility with which they might be made not only to contribute essentially to home consump- tion, but to a large foreign supply. Nearly the same may be remarked of all the patriotic efforts connected with this project for the last hundred years. Tbe experiments have been partial; and the laws for regulating • the traffic insufficient. From the time of Charles II. the Dutch have con- tinued to supplant us on our own shores; and what with the duties on salt, and other difficulties, it is to be feared that even the liberal ami enlightened policy of our present ministers may be baffled in any attempt to promote the great objects at issue in this respect, unless they can also devote much investigation to the details of the natural history, the statute laws, and private interests, which are involved in it. Mr. Cornish's hook is likely to be the more use- ful, as it is dedicated simply to two branches of the question-— the Salmon and Channel fisheries. With respect to the salmon, it is strange that " his habits furnish an exception to the general law of nature. He is unlike any other fish; being bred in one element and existing- in another. He cannot live in the sea alone or the fresh water alone, but requires to live alternately in each : the salt water and the river are alike absolutely necessary to his existence and procreation. What be feeds on in the sea no man knows, for he was there never known to take a bait, nor was any food ever found in his stomach." In rivers, on the contrary, salmon take baits of several kinds. Mr. C. with perfect truth, adds— u The salmon is one of the most valuable fish we have ; vet, the law, as we have seen, is lamentably defective for its preservation ; and, wonderful to say, mankind seem more bent on- destroying the whole race of them than that of an other animal, even those which are most obnoxious.'* Of this there cannot be a stronger and a more con- clusive proof than their present scarcity, contrasted • with their former abundance. Unless the salmon is protected by law, he must fall under the destroy- ing arm of man, for he is as much in the power of wan as sheep or oxen. It is not so with the sea Cah, they have a range mo- i- e Unrestrained. Man may by improper and injudicious conduct diminish the'nu'mber of these, but he cannot exterminate the species. " The history of many places, particularly that of Ches- ter, informs us, that salmon were once so plentiful that masters were restrained by their indentures from compell- ing their apprentices to'eat this fish more than twice a week; and there is now nothing wanting but an efficient law to render them as abundant as they were thfen. No natural canse exists to produce the present scarcity. u The fecundity of the salmon is very great, the roe of a single'one amounting, as 1 have been informed by a person: who counted it, to 600,000. This experiment was made in, tl. e usual way, namely, by first weighing and then count- ing a certain. portion, and afterwards weighing' the, whole milss. Yet. this increase bears 110 sort of proportion to the number of pea in many Other tish. The sturgeon produces the greatest number that 1 ever read of, being no less- according to Leuweerihoek, than 150* 000 millions,— an amount equal to that of all the inhabitants of the earth ; the female codf/ sh gives 9,340,000; and the common crab, 4,334,000,. The porpoise produce? only one; and yet por- poises are. more. plcntiful than sturgeons.. There seeras to be no positive general rule in Nature upon this subject: such is the extent and the variety of exceptions, that we are forced to the necessity of considering every animal distinctly and individually. What analogy proves to us, that if the claw of a crab be torn off, another will supply its place; that the polypus may be cut in pieces, and vet the separated part shall produce a perfect animal; that superfcetation shall exist in some animals and not. in others; and that a certain insect of the gnat genus shall repeatedly produce without any connection with the male; and a thousand other instances of exception,, operating against the general law of Nature! All prove to us, that we are to look for certainty to each animal individually, and that we shall seek in vain to elicit it, from the simili- tude that one animal may bear to another. Nature seems upon all occasions as though she disdained shackles of rule, preferring to exhibit, in whatever view we may con template her works, the unlimited and uncontrollable power of the Creator." In pursuing his inquiries, Mr. Cornish insists upon individual cases where the salmon is wantonly destroyed; and inveighs against devices of traps, weirs, small meshed nets, locks, mill leats, & c. & c. which afford the fish hardly a possible chance of escape after they have once entered a. river under the impulse of nature. In these they are taken > wben in season arid out of season— in the former condition fetching- high prices, in the latter poisouiog the poor. But beyond all other means of destruction he denounces the spear. " The use of that dreadful instrument the snear should also be abolished by every possible means, and even by mea- sures of extreme severity, particularly in the 1 iver Dart, where it is principally employed. Like a deadly pesti- lence, it destroys both good and bad; every thing dies before it; whatever the spear touches it kills, if it does not catch. Besides, it is never used by those who have a right to fish, but by poachers, who would be so much better employed in a lawful and honest calling. This practice is one of the greatest encouragements to idleness, and all those bad habits which idleness and nocturnal employ- ments create. When melt are thus engaged all night, they cannot be vfirv fit for labour by day. xNor is this all, for various other IhihgS are found to disappear besides salmon, when those gentlemen are at work. A great injury is also done to young timber; xo avoid suspicion the spear head is carried in the pocket, and for the shaft a young tree is cut down as soon as the game is seen ; for carrying a spear pole in the hand might excite observation. Four years ago, a very large spear was in use, but they now uSea well- tempered small spear, which is found to answer the purpose equally well, and can be better Concealed. I was once an accidental witness to the fact of a large salmon being struck with a spear in the very act of spawning. It was an 1 appalling sight'to see the poor creature writhing in. its agonies. I turned from it with disgust, deploring that such a barbarous practice should continue, which, for one;, . unwholesome fish, was the means of destroying so many, thousands, that, taken in their proper Season, would be food to the poor, and a' delicacy to the opulent. " Every other animal i 11 the known world,- requires, and obtains, rest and retirement during gestation, arid at the time of bringing forth, and is allowed opportunity for the escape and growth of its young$ but this harmless and invaluable creature, though warned by unerring instinct where to go,- is first, obstructed when its body ( from a state of pregnancy) is ill able to combat obstruction, and delayed when delay is but another word for death; then hunted down, like a wild beast,- worried from place to place', un ceasingly persecuted, and ultimately impaled alive on an iron spear, generally in the very act of spawning. Not even the shades of night., when- most other animals seek and find respite from their persecutors, are to him any protection; watched and traced to his. haunts by day, allured to certain places at night by means' of fires, he falls an easy victim to his- more cunning and unfeeling destroyer, at a moment when he expects no mischief, and when ' he should meet with no molestation. Should he miraculously'' Save himself from such impalement, what then, awaits him 1 he is taken in a trap river, returning to the sea; starved by being imprisoned in a mill- stream ; or pines to death for want of that element which Providence has made necessary to his prosperity, his increase, and his existence. Such is the true state of the salmon fisheries." Though, as we have remarked, a little enthusi- astic, there is no want of truth in these descriptions ; and loudly do the evils referred 10 demand a remedy. Fish ought to have free egress and regress in all rivers; the close- time or spawning- season should be extended to the full period which it is ascertained to occupy j the use of the spear by night should be prohibited; the young fry should be protected ; and the waters which the fish fre- quent should be kept as |) ure as possible from lime, flax- steeping-, and the influx of deleterious sub- stances. The author relates some curious facts relative to the identity of salmon with salmon- peal and gilse: but though there are strong reasons for believing them to be the same species, we cannot . say that we are yet complete converts to that opinion. The pairing- of salmon, the mode of depositing' their spawn, and other interesting particulars, are also treated, of with much ingenuity. With the crow, pairing- is said to be"" for life, the cock and hen never separating, but when either loses his mate the survivor enters upon perpetual celibacy ." How it is with fish, 110 one can tell, but the following is the most circumstantial account we have met . with of the procreation of the salmon. Georg- e Little, Esq. in his evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons ( see Report), says, " they make a fui row in the gravel in the current twelve feet by eight or ten; male and female threw themselves on their side and worked one against the other ; conti- nued thus many days; if frightened would go away and return again ; take many days before the spawning is completed; known them forsake their spawning- beds : the bed or furrow is covered as they proceed; both assist, and while in the act of depositing- the spawn, male gets a hard bill on the under jaw; decreases after spawning-; spawn begin generally to rise about the beginning of March ; spawn rise from the bed like a crop of oats or a thick bryard of grain, rushing up all round the stones in very great numbers•;* the tails come up first; part of the pea sticks about their heads. V ' • . • When in the sea the salmon is also sadly perse- cuted. Mr. Halliday relates, that "- lie has seen the porpoises catching the salmon till they were quite glutted with them, and then they would play with them by throwing them into the air, arid catching them again before they reached the water as a child would amuse itself with a ball." I be- lieve Mr. Halliday quite mistakes this matter. It is very true the porpoise throws his prey up into the air and catches it again, yet this does not proceed from satiety or wantonness, but from neces sity ; he cannot, from the position of his mouth; take his prey under water, but forces it to the sur- face, when it springs out of the water, and he takes it on its return. This information I had from a person this day ( 15th Sept.) who said he had seen it done thousands and thousands of times. It. is well known that all rapacious animals have a pecu liar method of taking- their prey; a lion will not spring on a horse till it turns, nor the cat 011 a rat; the goss hawk strikes by a side shoot, some other hawks by flying under, and some other again by flying above; the shark turns on hit side; this habit of the porpoise was new to me until this day, nor is it mentioned in any book. It is, thus, not. an act. of wantonness, but of necessity. We are g- lad to find that so able a champion as our author has taken the poor salmon under his protection ; certainly much may be done for them, and at the same time for, the sustenance of the' people of Great Britain. With regard to the Channel Fisheries, we shall only notice, that, in defiance of all existing Acts of Parliament, the grossest abuses prevail. Trawlers every where " fish with nets, in the bag- of which the fish are caught and suffocated ; having a mesh so small as to take fish not larger than a sixpence; and that close upon the shore, where the young- fry principally swarm, without the least regard to the law of the land, or to any one single thing but what they very injudiciously suppose to be their own private interest. From the smallness of the mesh the consequence is that the bag ( if the net is so completely choked with mud, sand, and sea- weed, that nothing but water can pass through. The effect of this pernicious practice must be so self- evident to every man's senses, as to require neither reasoning- or proof to convince him of the national mischief that it must Thousands of millions of young, fish,, and the roe of fish of all ihe bett qualities, are thus destroyed contrary to the intent of the present law, and for want of an effectual one to check the evils com- plained of." Mr. Cornish gives the draught of a new statute, which he con'ends would check all the destructive and inhuman pras tices of which he complains : and in the niean'ime warmly recommends " an ener- getic exertion to carry those laws ( at present, in force) into execution by aid of a public association^ from which a great deal of good might arise ; yet, - as they now stand, neglected and unenforced, and the right of the public imperfectly ascertained, it is no wonder that salmon are as scarce and as dear as we find them. To make the laws as complete as the nature of the thing . will admit, it is absolutely necessary that a new act should be passed, em- bracing the whole subject altogether, repealing- the general act of the 58th of the late king, and the local act for the Dart, Plym, a » d Teigh, and alt local acts whatever. As the law of nature is the same at all places, so Ought to be the law of the land to give nature proper effect. The whole law upon the subject, then, might be brought under one view, and comprised in one act, without per- plexing- the magistrate in making him turn to dif- ferent acts, and find out what he wants by piece- meal, running the risk of frustrating the adminis- tration of justice, by quashing' a conviction, or entangling him in frivolous minutis;. Cordially do we wish him success in his patriotic efforts. VVe have not met with any writer more zealous for a public benefit, and we feel that he deserves the thanks of the community.

[ FROM THE LONDON PACKET.] We copy the following from Cobbett's Register of Saturday. In the, month of May last, a genii email, who ap- peared to be well informed upon the subject, told me that there were twenty- two thousand new houses then about to be built within the Bills of Mortality, or thereabouts. This could hardly be other than matter of mere estimate. I do not pretend to give it forth as a thing known to be true. But, if t were to judge from my own observation; and that observa- tion has been pretty close and attentive; 1 have been in person to survey a considerable portion of \\\ e swellings; I have looked at a considerable part of the rows of new houses: of the new squares. I have looked over the hundreds of acres, covered with brick- making and building materials. If I am to judge from these observations of mine, I cannot think that less than twenty thousand houses will have been added to the WEN in the year 1824. The Return of houses and people in the year 1821, gave us, for the Bills of Mortality, one hundred and seventy- six thousand, two hundred and twenty- six houses. Let us suppose that the addition made in 1822 and in 1823 to have been ten thousand houses each year. Then add ticenty thousand for 1824, and we have i. ivo hundred and sixteen thousand houses The population within the Bills of Mortality in 1821, was 1,225,694, according to the Return, 011 which, observe, I never place any reliance ; but, supposing it to be true, there must now be about a million and a half of people within the Bills of Mortality, which is one- seventh part ( according to the same Return) of the whole of the population of England alld Wales ; mure than the whole of the population of Bedford- shire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridge- shire, Cumberland, Herefordshire,- Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Monmouthshire, Kent, Warwick shire^ Worcestershire, Westmoreland,. Northumber land, Nottingham, Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. So that there are huddled together already in the tax- eating WEN, a population equal to that of nineteen counties of England, and two of those counties are Kent and Hampshire; But, how is this to go on? Arid4 yet, how is it to stop? The twenty thousand new bouses of the present year have drawn up from the Country not man less than sixty thousand workmen ; arid the spectacle is one full of curiosity and of interest. You see, at their breakfast time or dinner time, whole Crowds of men in smock- fiocks, and their great country nail shoes, coming out of the brick- fields, and of the excavations making for the foundations of new houses. These men have, of course, women and children generally attached to them.. Suppose each fa mi ly to be three rn number upon an average. Here are a hundred and eighty thousand persons depending upon- this work of adding to the swellings of the WEN. The twenty thousand nevv houses must be occupied, or they will fall into ruins. What is to become of the hundred and thirty thousand persons employed in these buildings ? Are they to keep on building houses ?- • * . * * . \ * # * But, as I said before, these swellings must have an end. Go on for many years longer they cannot, and, vet, it is difficult to say which is most pregnant with danger— to stop, or to proceed. About a twelve- month ago, some inquiries, respecting the new buildings were set on foot by Mr. Peel. I have no authority for saying this, other than that of haying heard it from several persons, who spoke with great confidence 011 the subject. I have a great opinion of the judgment of Mr. Peel, though his Bill and several other things have shewn that be was but a learner in the science of government He appears to me to have a- sol ider head than any Minister that I have ever yet seen in power. He is young; all his faculties are iu full vigour; and he must wish that the country should flourish and be secure. Such a man cannot fail to be alarmed at these monstrous swellings of the WEN. He certainly did cause an inquiry of some sort to be made respecting these swellings; and, as rumour magnifies every thing, there was an opinion prevailing, for some tune, that the Government meant to do something to prevent a further erection of houses in the lieigh'bourhood of London. We do not, of course, pretend to vouch for the facts alleged in the foregoing extract; but with respect to the amazing additions made to ( hi metropolis, we believe that there is little or no exaggeration in estimating them at more than 20,060 houses per annum on the average of the last three years. It is necessary to ride round London from the East Indian Docks, through Lime- house, Bethnal- green, Hackney, Islington, Hoi- ioway, Camden Town,' Padding ton, and Chelsea on the north bank of the river; and to make a corresponding circuit from Battersea to Green- wich on the south ( a reasonable day's ride), to comprehend the prodigious accessions which the metropolis is hourly receiving, and we think that any one who takes this ride will agree with us, that the estimate of 20,000 houses per annum for these accessions is by no means extravagant. Now an accretion, in houses' and population, equal in amount to the City of Edinburgh, and of more than the amount in houses and population of most of the capital cities of Europe, cannot be regarded as a matter of indiffei- e^ ce, by any man who reflects upon the necessary effects of arrange- ment upon manners, and of manners upon the best interests of society. We certainly are not of those who regard town education as unfavourable to the morals of the higher and middle classes. As far as female education in those classes is concerned, it is pretty much the same; that is, pure and excellent alike in town and country : and we believe the education of the males of the high and middle classes may be conducted with less exposure to the temptations of vice in great cities than elsewhere. With the lower orders, however, the case different 5 and it is but to compare a London- bred labourer with a rustic peasant, to see at once the depraving operation of a city education upon the poor. That the deteriorating influence of the city should thus spread itself over the country, and draw to its^ vortex its annual tens of thousands, is in itself no small calamity. The very magnitude of the phenomenon, which we are witnessing, must strike with awe, when it is considered that the vast experiment is now tried for the first time in the history of the world ; and that its result, whatever that is to be, will bear a direct proportion to its extent. Oiie mischief there is, however, of which we have present cognizance, and which does not involve any question of moral refinement, or bor- row any terrors from undefined danger ; that is the tendency of this unnatural overgrowth of this ciiy to extinguish the national character. London is rapidly becoming England, as, before the Revo- lution, Paris was France; and after this change shall have been completed, it will be vain to expect from a vernacular city crowd those robust and sublime virtues which are the growth of rustic life, and have been, for nearly a thousand years, the pride and boast of this island. That truly amiable and excellent Prelate, the new Bishop of Chester ( Dr. Charles James Blom- field, of Trinity College, Cambridge), confirmed 455 young persons in the parish church of Over, Cheshire ( the Rev. Tbeodosius Wood, M. A.. late of Shrewsbury, Curate), on Monday, the 6th of December; and having delivered a most impressive address to the audience ( under the, influence of which a generally devout feeling was excited, and many tears were shed on the, part of both the candidates and spectators), following it up with an earnest and especially energetic exhortation, his Lordship remarked to the resident Minister of that parish, and the other Clergymen present, that he never beheld a more orderly, well- behaved^ and apparently serious congregation of young people on any similar occasion than had that day been presented before him.— It should be mentioned, that within the last two or three months; hi* Lord- ship has confirmed^ as credible report says, from ten to twelve thousand young persons. The proofs of increasing prosperity in our manu factnring and mercantile industry, force themselves daily upon our notice. A iVleeting was held on Monday in the City,' for the purpose of facilitating the speedy and regular conveyance of goods from Manchester to London. It appears, that notwith standing there are vans which travel those roads constantly, and which ( we believe) are conducted with, great propriety, still a demand exists for additional means of carriage. The Silk Trade, in particular, has improved so much of late, and the demand for silk goods has been so incessant, that not only have the vans been fully loaded, and the interior of the coaches devoted to this purpose, but parcels have eve1** been suspended under the coaches; and, after all, delays of several hours have occurred in the transmission of the silks, to the evident injury of commercial credit. Actuated by these considerations, the Gentlemen above alluded to have agreed to subscribe a fund of £ 40,000 for the establishment of new vans; out of no hostility to- the existing establishments, and still less with any view of trafficking in the shares, which are in number 400, but simply from the necessity of the case. BRISTOL AND BATTI RAIL ROAD.— A plan for establishing a Rail Road for the purpose of facilitating the commercial intercourse between the above cities, having recently been put forth, we understand that within a very few days the Sub- scription necessary for carrying the undertaking into effect ( calculated at £ 100,000), was com pletely filled up. In fact, such was the eagerness to invest capital in this speculation, that applica- tions for Shares were made to double the extent of the sum required, and they have since been readily bought at a premium. Edinburgh arid. Glasgow Railway.— Extract of a letter sent from Glasgow to London, dated the 4th instant:— il A numerous meeting of noblemen, bankers, and principal inhabitants of this neigh bourhood, took place yesterday, for the purpose of egulating a great national concern, a railway be tween this and Edinburgh, which will connect the trades of the German and Western Ocean. The Duke of Hamilton took the chair. The shares 1 believe are all filled up, with the exception of 500, which will be left at the disposal of the Committee. We are surprised with the number of applications front your capitaL" NEW CABALS IN HOLLAND.— The most anxious attention is paid by the King of the Netherlands to the commercial interests of his subjects. This has been evinced of late years in various under- takings, and in none more than in Canals, several of which are conducted on a scale that recals all the enterprise of the Dutch of the 17th century. The New Canal, traversing North Holland from the Texel to Amsterdam,- and intended to enable large vessels to avoid the shallows of the Zuyder Zee, is now in considerable forwardness* sfrid there will soon, we understand, be submitted to the States'- General, a plan for saving the detour earned by the shallows at the mouth of the Maese, and enabling heavy laden vessels to proceed directly to Rotterdam. This will be accomplished by Canal, to be cut across the small island of Voorn, so as to lead from Helvoetsluys to the upper parts of the Maese, and enable large vessels to reach Rotterdam by a passage of sixteen miles, instead of fifty or sixty, as at present. MECHANISM,— An ingenious operative weaver, residing at Paisley, has, at his leisure hours, con structed with a knife and a pair of tweezers, a curious and complicated piece of machinery. It consists of a weaver at work on his loom, with lay and t reddles working; a corn mill; a sucking and a spiral pump, both of which throw water; two sawyers at work; a hare- race; wind mill; ship at sea; regiment of military passing the General, & c. & c. The whole of which are set in motion and driven by a mouse.— Paisley Advertiser. COMMERCE.— UTILITY.— When Louis XIV. mode Italy tremble, and his armies, already masters of Savoy and Piedmont, were ready to take Turin, P< ince Eugene was obliged to march to the skirts of Germany, to the succour of the Duke of Savoy. Having no money, without which he could neither take nor defend towns, he had recourse to the Eng- lish merchants. In half an hour they advanced him the sum of five millions ( of livres), with which be delivered Turin, beat the French, and wrote this little billet lo those who had lent it to him : " Gen- tlemen, I have received your money, and I flatter myself I have employed it to your satisfaction." All this excites just pride in an English merchant, and makes him venture to compare himself, not without reason, to a Roman citizen. Thus the younger sons of a Peer of the realm disdain not to be merchants. Lord ' Townsend, Minister of State, had a brother who was contented with being a merchant in the city. At the time that Lord Orford governed Eng- land, his younger brother was a factor at Aleppo, whence he would not return, and where he died. This custom, which, however, begins to decline, appeared monstrous t<> the petty German Princes. They could not conceive how the son of a Peer of England was only a rich and powerful trader, while in Germany they are all Princes. We have seen nearly thirty Highnesses of the same name, having nothing for their fortunes but old armouries and aristocratical hauteur. The King of Prussia has published an Ordinance on the subject of his recent marriage, which an Englishman would read with some surprise. His Majesty, wilh great good sense and good feelin commemorates the amiable qualities of his former Consort, Louisa, to whom Buonaparte behaved with so much brutality, and who died in 1810 broken hearted at the degradation of her country. He states that his union with this excellent Queen having been blessed with a numerous offspring, and the succession to the Throne ( humanly s^ eak ing) being thus secured, he had not for many years thought it necessary to contract a second marriage. His Majesty, however, ingenuously confesses that he had felt himself approaching towards the decline of life*, and that he had contemplated with some unpleasant feelings the prospect of losing all domestic society—- a prospect which seemed likely to be soon realised by the marriage of his youngest daughter. He did not, however, resolve on his own nuptials till he had consulted h is relations, and particularly had satisfied himself that the measure would not be disagreeable to his son, the Prince Royal, or any of his other children ! long and a very curious article upOn the designs and progress of all the various religious Societies that have lately embodied themselves for the dis- semination Of scriptural education throughout the world. The Royalist and Roman Catholic waiter sees in these Societies a conspiracy for the over throw of the doctrines to which he is devoted, and of course remonstrates with corresponding expres- sions of horror and alarm, against the u toleration" ( that is his word) of such an impious confederacy ; to resist which he complains that the French laws, as they stand, are Utterly inadequate. This is a little inconsistent in a meirfber of that Church which arrogates to itself the Divine promise " that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it;" but to say truth, the invocation of the secular arm in aid of the pro mi set! protection of Heaven is 110 novelty with the Church in question.— The time for such invocations, is, however, we suspect, gone by in France; and whatever ( he Etoile and its friends may thinly or act in the matter, we have no fears that the § Cripture- distribuling conspirators ill ever again be successfully resisted in that Kingdom. THE JESUITS,— After the assassination of the King of Portugal, the Order of Jesuits was publicly suppressed at the desire of all ihe Potentates of Christendom. But the concealed operations of iheir members did not cease with this appnrentsuppression of their body. Their dispersion only increased the spheres of their activity j while their resentments invigorated their determinations, and caution ma- tured, their efficiency in perfecting their ultimate designs. This has been proved both by actual historical facts and by the words of an infallible Pope I For the late fins the Vljlh, who revived their order lately, lias most expressly declared by his Bull for that purpose, that they were " the experienced Rdivers'" who had at all times safely guided the vessel of the Holy See in its most perilous situations. The Jesuits have foundations in England and Ireland, arid Colleges for educating in their principles a rising generation, the most talented of whom they can always select for their own purposes. France, Spain, Portugal,, and even the Pope are Under their influence. What may not a combined movement of these men effect ? Has Great Britain nothing to fear from envious rival States, guided by set of men sworn to, God only knows, what designs ? A single man, Father La Chaise, a Jesuit, caused thousands to be put to tortured deaths in France, and more than a hundred thousand families to severe desolation and banishment. This Jesuit Father guided the actions of Louis the XlVth, by directing his conscience: he made him guilty of the most horrible perjury, in violating his coronation oath, while soothing the Monarches mind that it was hut the. destruction of heresy, and palliating the perfidiousness of perjury with the mild phrase of the (• evocation of the Edict of Nanfz. This Edict had insured to some of the most loyal subjects, and most attached friends of France, a free toleration of wor- ship in that persuasion which was thefe called u La Religion reforinre." The results of aii inclement season are frequently subversive of female comfort and attraction, by generating Chillilains, Chapped Hands, and Lipsy and signalizing a prominent feature of an otherwise beautiful countenance with unseemly redness. To successfully oppose these innovations, the LADIES have a powerful friend in the recently discovered cosmetic the KALYDOR, and where the results mentioned have attained progress or completion, this infallible specific excludes and resists with ait effective and rapid energy truly astonishing; and " 11 increasing the fairness and transparency of the' skin exceeds all competition, as, in the short space of its introduction into this country, from its native Eastern climate, has already been experi- enced by hundreds of ardent admirers ; Parents, Guardians, and the Conductors of Public Semin- aries, would therefore clo well in adopting ROW- LAND'S KALYDOR as a constant toilet append- age, indispensably necessary to the preservation of juvenile female beauty. BARBAROUS MURDER— A ntost foul and ntroeious murder, at which human nature recoils with horror and disrriay, was perpetrated 011 Sunday night last, 011 the lands of Coueeu, within half a mile of ftilhoa, in this Coiinty, where a reputable farmer, named Daniel Connejl, resided Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock on the above night, just after his family, consisting of six persons, had retired to rest, the outer door of the house was surrounded by a number of, persons, who demanded instant ad- mittance, Before this could be complied with, a party burst into the premises, and appeared to fbe number of eight or nine men in the kitchen, unr disguised, and armed withscytbes^ iwords, and guns. The . object of their visit was quickly intelligible, for they instantly proceeded / with the work of destruction, and first attacked a female cousin of donnell, whom tiiey struck down repeatedly with blows of a heavy pitchfork on the' head and face. They then forced into the room where the victim Daniel Connell lay iu bed with his cousin Michael; these unfortunate men, after an ineffectual attempt at resistance, were both prostrated ; five or six of their murderers continued ferociously cutting at them with scythes until they lay motionless, and covered with torrents of blood. The head of Connell they actually tore open in four parts, and literally reduced it to a composition of mince- meat, so palpable that not a trace of feature, could at all be discovered in the mass. His unfortunate companion had received no less than 27 deep cuts on various parts of hi head and, body, one of which broke his left arm but he yet survives a miserable example of tin relent ing barbarity. The unhappy sister of the murdered victim, in her exertion's to defend him, suffered most inhuman usage, arid had her left leg so severely cut from' a stroke of a sharp scythe given by one of these ruffians, that it merely bangs together by the skin. Two young girU in the house at the same time were passed over by the atrocious wretches rather through forget fulness, perhaps, than a feeling of compassion. The murdered man entered on these premises about six weeks ago, and shortly after getting possession received a threatening notice to quit. The former tenant was ejected for heavy- arrears of fent. It is cotfsoling to learn that four fellows have been since apprehended by the police between Morroeand Newport, of whose participation in the murder there is no doubt. They were persons in c<> niforfable circumstances. An inquest was held tin the body yesterdai, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" returned. Michael Council and Bridget Connell, two of the sufferers at Bilhoa, were yester- day evening' brought into the County Infirmary in a pitiable state.— Limerick Chronicle. Ou Tuesday evening lasf,< the village of Brough- ton Astley, near Cosby, was thrown into tbe utmost confusion in consequence of a female, whose head was nearly severed from her body, rushing into a neighbour's house, reeking in blood, and there falling prostrate on the floor. The following is a brief outline of this horrible affair: Abraham Bill- son, tbe husband of the deceased, had been for some tithe previous on very had terms with his wife, who, fearing the consequences incident to passion and revenge, caused him to he bound over to keep the peace, hut this appears to have further exasperated the unfeeling wretch, for, on the day in question, after spending the afternoon in a public- house, he returned home, and commenced a quarrel with the poor woman, which terminated in his striking her a violent blow on the side of her head, and she reeled to the ground ; he then effected his diabolical pur- pose by cutting her throat, seven inches in length and two in depth, with a razor; two of her fitigers were dreadfully lacerated in attempting to extricate herself from the assassin's grasp ; in this state she actually ran from tbe house to a neighbour's, a distance of nearly fifty yards! and falling, in a gore of blood, expired without the possibility of giving utterance. The prisoner then secreted himself in the house, but an entrance was effected, when he escaped at the back part of the premises; he was, however, closely pursued over four or five fields, and at length secured. Af first he denied all knowledge of the murderous transaction, till his eldest son, a lad about eleven years of age, and who was present when the dreadful affair took place, stated his father to he the murderer.— An Inquest sat 011 the body yesterday, and after going through the whole of the evidence, of which the boy mentioned was tbe princi- pal witness, the Jury pronounced a Verdict of " Wil- ful Murder" against the wretched husband. The pri- soner was conveyed late last night to the County Gaol, to await his trial at the ensuing March As- sizes,— The poor woman has left four children, the eldest is only eleven years of age. The prisoner, after the verdict of the Jury, expressed a wish to see the mutilated remains of his wife, this the Coroner left to the option of the officer, who granted the request. The scene almost baffles description ; the appalling corpse lay stretched on the floor, which he no sooner beheld than he fell on his knees, and kissed his victim several times, without shedding a tear, but apparently in the deepest anguish! He was reluctantly forced from the spot, and conveyed to prison.— Leicester Journal. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.— The King v. Mart- nail.— This was an information filed by the Attovney- Gerieral against the defendant, to recover certain penalties for haying made alterations in the Govern- ment Stamps usually placed upon paper. The So- licitor- General stated the case to the Jury. The defendant was a puper manufacturer, residing at a place called Pinford Mills, in the county of Durham. It appeared that a bundle of paper was sold by him with a stamp, purporting to be a stamp for 741b. whereas it was only for 241b.; and on examination it was found that the figures 24 had been altered into 74— a fraud being thereby committed on the revenue. Several witnesses were called in support of these facts. Mr. Jervis, for the defendant, con- tended that the mistake might have been made by the clerk in the Stamp- office, or some person in the employment of the defendant, and that there was no evidence to briny home the charge directly to him The Solicitor- General replied; and the Jury found a verdict for the Crown. Penalty £ 1009. A report has just reached ns, that one of the worthy members for our county, J. A. S. Wortley, fisq^ is soon to be called < 0 the Upper House, by the title of Baron Warncliff.— Wakefield Paper. A recent traveller in Italy mentions the following instance of ihe high opinion entertained of England by the Italians: " On the road to Milari we had in the carriage a prima donna, fat and forty, a Milanese shopkeeper, an Austrian employe, and it French commercial traveller from LyOns. They all made themselves pleasant; but a question having arisen about politics, the little Milanese said something in his own barbarous dialect to the woman, at which she laughed very heartily; and the Austrian and Frenchman, who, from constant intercourse with Milan, caught tbeir meaning, looked confused aud vexed, epecially the French- man. I was very anxious to know what had been said, and the Austrian, a sensible pleasant man, recovered himself, and told me it was, 4 There sits a Frenchman, they were our masters ; there sits ah Austrian, they are our masters; but for our com- fort, there sits a laughing Englishman in the corner, and they are the masters of both.' Thus it is, go where you will, you find the foreigner impressed with a wonderful notion of the power of England." A locksmith, of the small village of Phillipsberg, fn Pomerania, has just invented a most ( xtra- ordinary lock. Through an admirable mechanism, by turning three times a key three pistols are loaded^ which would infallibly kill any one who attempted to introduce an improper key. If, 011 the contrary, the lock is opened by means of the right key, then the pistols are unloaded by a different motion.-— News of Literature. CAPILLARY STEAM ENGINE.— The new steam engine, invented by an American mechanic, wiib a capillary tube instead of an ordinary boiler, is de- scribed in the American journals as infinitely more economical in its use than any other high- pressure erioine. The generator of the steam consists of about 100 feet of copper tube, one- fourth of an inch dianVe,- ter, arranged in coils like a cable tier, so as to form a sort of hollow cone about thirty inches high, the bottom being about twenty inches, and the top one- half 1 hat diameter; the pipe being placed in a brrek furnace. Tbe water enters at the top of the capillary pipe, and, in passing down its coils, becomes con- verted into Rteairi, and escapes into a steam chamber connected with' the bottom. From the labour per- formed by this engine during several weeks'trial, the elasticity of the steam was estimated at about 90 to 100 lbs. on the square inch. But from the very small risk of explosion, or rather bursting ( for the aperture of the pipe being so small, an explosion can scarcely occur,) the inventor calculates that the steam might be ifsed with perfect safety at. double that degree of pressure. It is calculated* also, that great economy iu point of fuel will be obtained by having a longer range of capillary tubes, so as to enable the bottom to be heated almost red hot, if re- quisite; whilst the other coils of the pipe would b£ little above the temperature of the jelof water sup- plied to the head of ihe pipe by the water pump. It is, however, necessary to employ rain water, or river water, without an/ calcareous matter in suspension ;• otherwise there would be great probability of the pipe being choked up. This capillary engine seems 10 be in a great measure only an improvement on the plan of Mr, Perkins. The saving both of bulk and weight of materials is very considerable, the weight of all the apparatus not exceeding. the rate of twenty pounds for each single horse power; The smoke isf also consumed in this engine, by which a greaS economy of fuel is effected. A curious pony, which has been lately presented by a gentleman to his Majesty, was brought from Carlton Palace on Friday last, to Cumberland Lodge} it is of a mouse, or rather a dun colour; its coat or bair very rough; is four years old, and stands 32 inches high, beautifully formed It was brought from Norway, and is so docile that it would follow the groom who has the care of hint up and down stairs like a dog, and lay down on the hearth- rug before the fire; it has never yet been shod, will eat " bread and potatoes as well as corn and hay, and drink beer. It was on Saturday brought to the Royal Lodge in a neatly fitted fancy- coloured covering, fastened by a girth, for' his Majesty's inspection, who admired him as rrcurb 011 account of his diminutiveness as for his docility. The large elephant of Mr. Womb well's Menagerie has died at Manchester, and the carcass has been purchased by the Natural History Society of that place, who intend to stuff the skin, and deposit it iii their Museum. The animal was valued, when living, at £ 2,000. On the I2th irist. fhe oid Lioness belonging tn? Atkins's Royal Menagerie, now in Cheltenham, gave birth to four cubs, three of which are males and the fourth a female. EMBEZZLEMENT.— A discovery has recently been made in a mercantile establishment in the environs of Bishopsgate street, of a fraudulent nature, to the extent of several thousand pounds. The confidential managing Clerk, who had been upwards of 25 years in the house, is now in custody, and we understand will shortly undergo an ex animation. The deficiency already discovered amounts to £ 7,500: but as the books have only been examined for seven years back, further sums are expected to come to light. A few evenings since, a fire balloon was let oft* at St. Stephen's, near Canterbury, by some young men, which alighted on a hay stack belonging to Mr. Henry Collard, of Gore- street, a few miles from thence, and ignited the thatch. The damage done was very considerable. On Monday last, as a young man, named Cornben, son of Mr. B Cbrnben, of the parish Of Southwell, in the island of Portland, in company of two other young men, was traversing the beach opposite the two lighthouses, all of a sudden the cliff above gave way , and he was buried amid many hundred tons of stone arid earth.
