' Upton Aftigna Hall. DEAR Sir, having by a most fbrlitnute . circumstance heart) of the fame i f your Ploughman's Drops iWhi Mr. J. Large, Printer, Wolverhampton, and who Very earnestly recommended me to m ike trial of your Drops, but I being somewhat prejudiced against medicines of ihe kind, for a While hesitated, but al length I did purchase' a bottle of Mr. Smart, and t have now to bless Almighty God, and you my dear Sir ; for by only taking twosniaH bottles, I was perfectly restored to a good and s itind state of health, which 1 had not enjoyed filr more than ( I years; In gratitude to'you, Sir, and for the benefit of other ma- trons labouring under the same disorder, I will briefly relate the leading features of my most stubborn disorder; Soniefithe about May, 1819, I was taken with a dreadful racking pain in my head, and what with a swelling in my body and legs, Which was to that alarming degree that I was under fearful apprehensions that the skill of mv legs" would break; and was attended with very great pain; which at times nearly deprived me of my senses. During this state I was so very nervous that 1 was a great trouble to all about me, frequently jumping sin! starting at the least appearance of noise.

On Mondav last the anniversary dinner of the Whig Club of Cheshire, and. the adjacent counties, took place at the Royal Hotel, Chester,' ( George Phillips, Esq. M. P. in the Chair, and John Williams," Esq., - M. P. acting as Vice- President.) The Chairman was supported on his ' Tight by Earl Grosvenorand Sir John Stanley, and on his ' leit by Lord Crewe and Mr. Wilbraham. There wcrealso present other leading Members ofthe Club, together with some gentlemen who attended as visitors on the occasion. As soon as the cloth was removed, and Nm Nobis DO- MINK sung. The CHAIRMAN proposed the " King" as the first toasts and it was received with all due demonstrations*)!' loyal attachment. The following toasts were next given :—" The Royal Family, and may they bear in mind the principles that placed the House of Brunswick on the throne of these Realms." " The People, may they know their rights, " and knowing maintain them".'" " A full, fair, and free Representation of the People in the Commons House of Parliament." The CIIAMMAN then said he would- now propose the memory of a great man, who was distinguished by the ability of the principles he had professed, by the powers of his mind, and the comprehensiveness of his reasoning, " " The memory of Charles James Fox." This toast was drunk in solemn silence. The CHAIRMAN in calling the attention ofthe company to- the next toast, said- he had to propose the health of a Nobleman, for whom it was impossible for them not to en- tertain the highest respect. A nobleman who had upon all occasions shown a manly aud truly English feeling, together with a steady devotion to the best interests ofthe people. He felt great pleasure in giving the health of one • of the oldest and most sincere friends ofthe people, and the original founder of the club, " Lord Crewe."—( Loml Applause.) Lord CREWE begged to assure the company, that lie felt most sensibly the honour they hail done him. They wished •" iirr Reform in Parliament, and he could only say for him- self that he had never vet missed an opportunity of pro- moting the cause of reform to the utmost of his power ( Applause.) Hut if that cause did not succeed it was more the fault of the electors than the elected, since they voted for men who were ready to increase, rather than diminish the burdens of the people. The VICE- PRESIDENT said that from the accident of his belonging to a particular profession, it now devolved upon Ilim to propose the memory of a Nobleman lately deceased, whose name must for ever tie regarded wilh veneration and gratitude by all those who had the cause of freedom at heart. He alluded to the late Lord Erskine, whose ex- ertions in that glorious cause had never been surpassed by any of those who had preceded him, and probably never would be surpassed bv any of those who should succeed him. He said this without fear of contradiction; for in " 1703, when the tremendous principle of constructive trea- son was attempted to be carried into effect— n principle which must deprive the Jury ofthe right of deciding whe- ther a man was guilty of a libel or not at that period— Lord Erskine completely brushed away the cobwebs of the lawyers, and acted in the very teeth of the . Judges, while he defied them in their attempts to muzzle twelve • men, sworn on their oaths, or prevent them from finding a verdict. If lie said that I. ord Erskine had done this, he thought be said quite enough to show that the memory of that Noble 1 x> rd stood as a bright example to all law- yers who would wish to deserve well of their country ( Applause.) He should, therefore, propose " the Memory of Lord Erskine." The toast was drunk in solemn silence. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said it was •- impossible for him not to make some allusion to a gentle- man who supported the liberty of the press, bv the faithful tmd honest discharge of his duty as the conductor of a pub- lit? journal— he meant Mr. Joseph Taylor, the Editor of The Manchester Guardian. It was truly fortunate for the country, when men of pure minds, honest principles, and liberal feelings, devoted themselves to a subject of so much importance as the. dissemination of public opinion through the medium ofthe Press. " The Strong hold of Liberty— a Free Press," was then given; and the company drank ?, Ir. Taylor's health with animated applause. Mr. TAVI. OU, in expressing his acknowledgements, said jf at any time he felt it impossible to rise without consi- derable emotion, for the purpose of addressing such charac- ters as he now saw before him, that emotion was, on the present occasion, greatly increased by having his health drunk at so early a period in the evening, as well- as by the very flattering manner in which his humble exertions in the cause of freedom were appreciated liy the company. All he could claim was good intentions, yet nothing could Mie more gratifying to him, lhan to find that those inten- tions met with the approbation of his friends. As the coiv du: lor of a public- Journal, he should never suffer any act • that called for public censure to pass liv without due ani- ~ tn; ulversion— neither would lie suffer the liberties of the people to be invaded without the utmost resistance which it was possible fbr him to offer. ( Applause.) And here lie could not help adverting loan instance of this description, which had recently occurred. O11 a late occasion his colleague, Mr. Gardiner, attended at an inquest," for the purpose of reporting the proceedings, mid it so happened that the Coroner was Mr. Farren, the same individual who had presided at the memorable Oldham inquest. This Gentleman, however, would not suffer Mr. Gardi- ner to remain, hut fitrc:. lily ejected him, and lie { Mr. Taylor) was therefore determined to try the " question, whether the public had nut a right to attend at Coroners' inquests— or whether the Coroner was to be left entirely ahnie i « ihe rsom, wiHi the deceased. It might be, per- haps that we were wrong hi the opinions we formed with respect to Coroner's inquests, and that jiersous should not he admitted; but if we should be- told that justice was pure in proportion as it was private, then he would say, that what we considered the best safeguards of our liberties differed materially from what the most enlightened men of lhe country were tor ages wont to consider them. O11 such an occasion as this, the conductor of the public press hail il iti it is ( Kiwer to make himself eminently useful, lie might perhaps be marked out for persecution, but persecution had no terror for the man who exulted in doing his duty; aiid though he might be oppressed by some, there were others who would be always ready to encourage and support him. ( Applause.) Mr. WILLIAMS then proposed the health of the Presi- dent, after paying suitable tribute tot- he merits of that Gentleman. Air. PHILLIPS rose to return thanks, and said lie felt much complimented by the maimer in which his Learned Friend had proposed his health, as also by the cordial manner in which the toast was received by the company. It was uu slight gratification to him to find such favourable mention made of his name in a Meeting united for the purpose of advancing the s. vired cause of freedom. Since the time he had attended this Meeting, throe years ago, the spirit of liberty had strongly manifested itself through every part of the country, and influenced even a Tory Administration. T « this alone must lie attributed the improvement that had taken place in our system of com- mercial policy, mid rccoguition of the independent States of Sou: h America. While they were ready to do justice to the raeritsof Mr. Canning, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Robin- soii, and of the other Members of the Cabinet who con- curred in supporting the liberal measures that had lately lieen adopted, it. ought not to be forgotten that those mea- sures had lot » 2 since been pressed on the Government by the Whigs ( Applause.) The principles on which they were founded wereso interwoven with Whiggwm, as lt » be inseparable from it. But then it had always been said by those who were opposed to them, that the adoption of such measures would be dangerous to the Constitution, and that the Whigs showed an irreverent disregard of the wisdom of our ancestors. The result, however, proved to a demonstration the fallacy of this argument. He hailed with joy the recognition of the South American . Slates as the first step towards freeing us from that mon- strous confederacy which had profanely called itself the " Holy Alliance."—( Chars.) If the same step had been takeii long before, we should not now see the liberties of Continental Europe trampled upon by three or four des- pots. It was impossible fbr any m: m to travel over Eu- rope without hearing it said, to the disgrace ofthe coun- try, that our Government had made common cause with those who had formed an impious junction for the sole purpose of destroying the genius of freedom. But how did the rulers who had done so evince their gratitude t » this country ?— liy showing ajeaUojy of our commercial advantages, and a hatred of our free institutions. They would reform England as they reform Piedmont, N pies, ? iml Spiin. To love liberty was a crime which the Holy Allianc-' never forgave, it was for this crime that some of the best men of the Continent lost their lives on a scaf- fold, and that Austria immured in dungeons the descend- ant; of some of the mildest families of Italy. II' slavery ( mil liberty were t « lie contrasted, it would ha « niv ne- cessary to ionic at the present state of Spain and of South America. Spain was to use the words of I. ord John Bus- sell, the " experimental farm of the Holy Alliance."— \ Vlt it hideous scenes of rapine, murder, desolation, and vi universal miser/ aud auarciiy did it. present; So dread- 1 ful ft'nil complicated were the miseries of that unfortunate country, that the wisest despaired of finding a remedy for them, and the boldest dared notcontemplate ( lie fright- ful picture. But how very different was the condition of the South American States, where'privateambitioii yielded to the noble ambition of giving liberty to mankind ; where commerce flourished and public credit gained con- fidence even in the very midst of revolutions; where, in short,' the prospect of « pftblic happiness was of such Vast magnitude as to dazzle the contemplation. Such were the glorious effects of liberly.-^( Applause.) Though some time since there mfglit have existed some difference of opinion with repect to the Holv Alliance, and though a Minister of the Crown was found in Parliament vindi- cating the invasion of the kingdom ofNaplesbv the Em- peror of Austria, yet now he verily believed there was not onelman in the country who did not reprobate an atrocious confederacy, of which 110 language could speak in terms suited to its wicked and abominable character, liven Tories, who showed their loyalty by a devoted at- tachment to the persons of princes, and not by an attach, ment to free institutions . n connection with the prince, still thought loyalty was best secured in countiies where there was a Constitutional Representation of the people. But when asked why they oppose Reform, they said it was because there was already a virtual representation of the people. Now he ( Mr. Phillips) could never see any difference between a virtual and real representation ; but that there was not a real representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament could not for a mo- ment lie doubted. A celebrated dignitary ofthe Church, though an Archbishop, was stiil a Whig— ( A laugh.)— Archbishop Til. otson, adverting to the subject of sem- blance and reality, had these words:—" If the show of any tiling is good, surely the reality is hettei; for why should men dissemble, unless they wished to be what they seemed to be ?" Surely then, upon this principle, real representation was much better than that which was not real. He should like to see the middle class admitted to an influence in the State, which they did not now possess. There was 110 class of more public spirit or better quali- fied to sustain the character of the country. Supposing that persons had a beneficial interest in land or houses, or in the renting of land or houses, which was an exponent of their education or property— supposing that such per- sons were admitted to an influence in the representation, could any man imagine that it would be attended with danger to the Constitution ? Did any man suppose that to assimilate the mock representation of Scotland to the most perfect part of the representation in this country, or to diminish the number ofthe Cornish boroughs, and en- franchise those populous places in other quarters which were not represented, would be productive of any mis- chief? Lancashire, which had four times the population of Cornwall, had not more than one third of the . share in the representation which Cornwall possessed. A plan of reform so moderate and constitutional as that now pro- posed, could not alarm even the most timid, if the will to reform were not wanting in Parliament. A Gentleman, who was an opponent of reform, Jiad said to him, it would be a great improvement if the large monufacluriug towns were admitted to a share in the representation ; trut he was afraid if the work of reform once commenced, they would not know where to stop. However, he ( Mr. l'liii- lips) told him that he needed not be apprehensive on that account, as Parliament would never be too anxious to prdt'eed. There wiis one other suhject 011 which he wished to say a word or two before he sat down. He alluded to the subject of religious liberty. The strongest proof that could be afforded in the nineteenth century, of the incom- petence of a certain individual to administer the affairs of this country was, that millions of people were denied the rights of citizens for a conscientious adherence to the re- ligion of their ancestors, who had nobly opposed those who would oppose and degrade the nation ( Loud Ap- plause.) No means could be more certain to alienate the Catholics from the State than to continue the present odious restrictions. No means could be more certain of attaching them to the State than to give them equal pri- vileges with their Protestant fellow- subjects. It. now only remained for him to propose the health of a Nobleman who was a real lover of liberty, munificent supporter of the arts, and of the intellectual and moral improvement of the people— Earl Gros'venor." The toast called forth loud plaudits, and Earl GROSVENOR addressed the Meeting in the follow- ing terms:— I cannot but feel highly flattered by the very kiiul manner in which my health has been given from the Chair, arrd received by this most respectable assemblage. I am the more pleased with this gratifying proof of your regard, when I refer to the conduct uniformly observed by the Members ofthe Club, and to the great principles on which it, has been established. It has been established 011 the ground of national liberty and the constitutional freedom of the subject. Though' I may he told that meet- ings of litis description might to lie confined to peculiar junctures, when circumstances may render them neces- sary, yet I by 110 means concur in that < opinion. I am convinced thai thev ought to take place as well in times of ' war as m times of peace, as well as in times of peace as ill times of war; as well when attempts are madeim* the general liberties of the State( as were surreptitiously made at no very remote period), as when public freedom is not attacked. The fire that inflames the patriot breast should, like the fire in the Temple of Vesta, fbr ever burn pure and unextinguished ' j- Longaniloud applause:)— The case adverted to by that respectable gentleman, Mr. Taylor, - shows the urgent necessity that exists for associations of this kind, even in times of. profound peace. This is the • fifth Anniversary Meeting of the Club, and we are now in a very different situation from that in which we ( bund ourselves when it was first established. At that time, if not a party to the Holy Alliance, at least we made 110 at- tempt to counteract thescartdalous attacks that were made • by thedespotic' Powers of Efiropeon the liberties of every independent State. There was no man who looked at the conduct of the Government at that period, but must have been convinced that our ministers cocnter. anced the infa- mous proceedings of the Holy Allies. Happily,' however, for the country, a great change li. is since taken place. 1 find it impossible to contemplate the Holy Alliance with- out indignation at the baseness of the ingratitude that was sliown- to those- States thattad- so nobly supported the par- lies against the tyranny of France. The moment the ptwerof Bonaparte was destroyed, the great Rulers of the Continent ibrgOt all the fluttering promises they had made, andformed an abominable coalition against freedom all over the world. I congratulate you, however. Gentle- men, and the country at large, that we 110 longer counte- nance their proceedings, and have nothing to do with their wicked crusade. Rut, at tiie s. ime time, I cannot help saying, thai this Club and others « f a similar description, which speak the sense of the English people < 111 llie subject are entitled to take some credit to themselves far having encouraged the public spirit of the couritry, by whicii alone this great change has been effected. Had the great Powers of Europe acted differently, and given Constitu- tions to their subjects, as they promised, how different would be the result. Instead of distrust and ' dissatisfac- tion, they would see content and happiness reign among all classes ill their dominions. I do not here intend to dis- cuss the merits of particular forms of Government, though I am disposed to give the preference to a Constitutional Monarchy"; such as we have in this country, while I think- that the worst of all is a despotic Government. But I only mean to say, that if the Allies had performed'their promise, it is very possible that constitutional monarchy would be established throughout South America, instead of republics. The great and immortal Bolivar, who is one ofthe finest moral characters that has ever yet appeared in public life, might have been induced to sanction that form, bat the time for making the application to him has hingsiucegoneby, and though latterly attempts have been made to gain him over, bv offering him the imperial pur- ple, lie has rejected every offer with disdain, being re- solved never to swerve from the path of honour, and from his duty to mankind—( Applause.)— But while a material change for the better has taken place in the councils of the country, it is still painfiil to see seven millions of our fellow- subjects excluded from their civil rights on the ground of religion. Great prejudices have been excited on this subject, and it is much to be regretted that pains have been taken to perpetuate litem. 1 am Satisfied, how- ever, that in proportion as the country becomes enlightened those prejudices must give way to more liberal opinions. My Hon. Friend in the chair has made a reformer of Arch- bishop Tillotson. I rather suspect lie was 110 friend to virtual Representation, though he was hostile to the Ca- tholics. I question much, however, if he had lived ait the present day, whether he would not be as favourable to the Catholics, as he was. in his time, decidedly'opposed to them; for a great change Ins taken place in public opi- nion— and it is not too much to suppose, that Archbishop Tillotson might have adopted the principles of that excel- lent Prelate, the Bishop of Norwich, i must again ob- serve, that the circumstance mentioned bv Mr. Taylor, clcarly proves the necessity of extreme vigilance on the part ofthe people; and it is not a little singular, that the Coroner who presided at the Oldham inquest, 011. which occasion I consider that the individual deceased was not legally buried, should be the person to do an illegal act in the present instance. We know, frotn the authority of Mr. Justice Blackstnne, Lord ICenvon, and others, that if'ev^ r there was a case where the public were only allowed, but urgently called upon to attend, it must be at a Coro- ner's inquest. I am glad to find, however-, that legal proceedings are about to be instituted 011 this subjcct. I have once more lo thank this distinguished company lor the honour tliey have done me, and beg leave to proptise the health of our worthy Vice- President, and success to his efforts to reform the Court of Chancery.—( Applause,) Mr. WILLIAMS, in returning thanks, said he might have availed himself of atl excuse of some antiquity for not attending on the present occasion—( We understand the Learned Gentleman had lately got married); but he had not, however done so; as he did not wish to desert the station he had been called upon to fill, at a season when, as was.- justly observed by the Noble Earl, there was a tendency iu the minds of some persons to question the jiolicy of meetings of'this description, upon the ground of an improvement having taken place iu the state of the country. • Supposing that argument to be well founded, and thai universal content and tranquility prevailed through'tlie land, meetings Of this kind could no more disturb that content and tranquility, or affect the existing Government, than, as was facetiously remarked by the Protector Cromwell, the Government of his day could be battered down by paper bullets. Fortuitous circum- stances wercnot to be placed at the head, and public opinion at the tail. No man could for a moment dare to state that the improvement which had taken place in the con- dition ofthe country was to be attributed to any other cause than the adoption of the most perfect part of our free institutions—( Applause.) It was " quite obvious that Ministers found themselves in a very easy position, repos- ing, in fact, on a bed of roses; lor how else could the Noble and learned Lord, jwho held so prominent a sta- tion in the Cabinet, disengage himself from the high duties of his office, and find time to superintend the education of little boys, while, as a reward for their disinterested accla- mations, he obtained fbr them their much- desired object, a holyday ?—( Laughter,) Did this not prove that the country was now in so happy and prosperous a stale, as not to need the anxious superintendence of the most acute, most learned, and most redoubted person that could any where be found in it T But to what was this owing ?— to nothing whatever but the cause he had before stated. If the Right Hon. Gentleman who was al the head of the Foreign Department maintained a position which gave him an ascendancy in the Cabinet, it was not to be as- cribed to his majorities ill the House of Commons, but to the dominance of public opinion, and what was called the Opposition in Parliament. The position he held was a strong proof of the manner in which the Opposition acted with respect to Ministers. If the Right Hon. Gentleman had gained popularity, he owed it to his departure from the course pursued by his predecessor. If his predecessor had lived to eternity, he would have much mere ofthe unqualified support ofthe House of Commons that the popular Secretary of the present day, who had not gained half So much credit as his predecessor fiir what was termed the management ofthe House ( The Learned Gentleman concluded a long and eloquent speech amidst ardent de- monstrations of applause.) The Meeting passed oil' with a good deal of eclat, and the best feeling prevailed on the occasion. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE CHACE. The Cheshire Hounds will meet on Monday, Oct. IT at Merc.

The fight on Tuesday between the hardy Rough Robin, and Gybletts, a rare good man, took place, Hot at the spot, appointed ( Bishop Stortford)— but a removal of the forces" took place, without a habeas, a few miles distant, where there was a very gallant " fight of eight rounds, in one hour and forty minutes. Robin, who is a pupil of Josh Hud- son, was seconded bv I) av. Hudson, anil Gybletts by Dick Curtis—. 2 to 1 on Robin, three stone the heaviest man. The fight was for more than an hour all Gvbletts'; he beat the bead of his antagonist about until it resembled a sheep's head under- done; but at length Robin got re- lieved by a tremendous bit 011 the jaw which let loose the lumps of congealed claret, which Caleb Baldwin said was a confiimmiNigatiou. In the fifth round, at the beginning, this happened, and the said round lasted forty uiiiuiteBoV severe hitting. I11 the seventh round the head of Robin was as tender as a fell swamp, but there was no denial about him, anil he won the fight by a right- handed hit upon Gybletts* t& iiplo Robin, as a winner, went.- out of the ring with nothing more than a blinker. .. . !'.- - Mfc^ r*—.. GRAND MILL for ONE II UNDUE!) SOVEREIGNS Between Boscow, the Butcher, and Magee, an Irish • Stonemason, near Chester, 011 Tuesday last. THF. GATHERING. These Candidates Sir pugilistic fame, it "- will be recol- lected, had a battle about a year ago, at Tra'nmere, in this County, opposite Liverpool; on that occasion lioswiw was suspected of not having shownTlis game as'he ought ' to have done, and a new battle was even then contemplated, which was at last resolved upon. A Pocse of One Hun- 1 dred'Soverelgns was mailt" up, and as great ' opposition to the exhibition, on the part of the Magistrates was aiftici- pated, tire Laijiie. Eyes, " Was'fixtfd " upon as the tfcene 4f action. Rumours of the approaching conflict were soon in circulation, and the Magistrates of the city and county used all their endeavours, and successfully, to prevent it taking place within their jurisdiction. ' Hie Mayor of Chester, sent a detachmertt of his Police Officers to the spot, but the ring was made at some distance from our county limits, within the precincts of Flintshire. Alan early hour in the morning, many hundreds of irishmen, from Liverpool and Manchester hud crossedthe different Ferries on the Mersey and the Dee, in the direction of IIawarder., and almost as many passed through Chester. Stage coaches, landaus, chaises, gigs, cars, shatidrys, waggons, carts, horses, and asses, were In full demand, and thousands hurried towards the scence of action on . foot. The Lache Eyes, is a piece of waste ground, partly in'the parishes of St. Mary,'" Chester, and Doilleston; it is also within' the counties of Chester and Flint, and formed part of what was more emphatically termed in other days," the inarches of Wales," across which a branch of the Dee once ran. A finer situation could not be had and the views around it are delightfully interesting. The ring was formed on a fine piece of turf, nearly three miles from Chester, and described a circle of about !! fl yards diameter. In the centre was an mdosed squire - of about 21 feet, formed by. posts and ropes. The multitude— we mean the pedestrian part— formed from eight to twelve deep round the circle, and beyond lliem were the eques- trians, carriages, f: c. & c.; beyond these again were num- ber* of carts, in which was a" plentiful supply of sour ale and muddy porter. There was a fair sprinkling of geti- tlemens' carriages, and amongst the strangers, we noticed the celebrated - vocalist, Mr. Braham. Oil a moderate computation, there were froni 8,000 to 10.000 people pre- sent, and the utmost orrlrr was preserved— if " order" can be at all associated with such a disorderly Meeting. Every endeavour, as wehave hefbre'observed, was made to pre- vent the disgraceful exhibition, and in one case, a person who represented himself to be one of the combatants, was actually held to bail to'keep the peace, whilst the " true man" made his escape ' from the Inn, and hurried to the place nf Meeting ! The time fixed upon fbr the set- to was one'dY lock", but long before t'liat time & ie ring was formed, and about a quarter before one o'clock the parties entered the circle, and were received with loud cheers— On stripping, Boscow appealed by much the heavier man, with a formidable display of muscle, but Magee was not swfleshy, and seemedto'be in a much better condition lor fighting. Dick Davies, and < 11100111,101, were with Boscow ; and Reynolds, and O'Neill, the StreaUnm Youth, with Ma- gee ; some other pugilists were 011 the field. The colours of Magee were " green as the Emerald,"" those of Bos- cow orange. The set- to commenced precisely three mi- nutes before one o'clock. The day was beautiful) v fine, and the coup d'ceil, had it not been dimmed bv the re- collection of the object of the Meeting, would certainly have been in the highest degree interesting. T1115 FIGHT. Rorxn— The set- to was very fine, each combatant appa- rently trying bis adversary's style. Bo* cnw made Jil « v, mid bit Paddy on the right cheek.

Magee bored Boscow to the ropes ; the bitter rallied, mA( le a hit at Magee, and fell. 8 and 9.— Boscow appeared much distressed, and fought, wilh extreme caution. Paddy's game excellent, but his opponent put in one of his blows on ( he left. side'Oftbe throat, and ano- ther 011 the fac:.-. A profuse discharge of blood; Boscow's face scarcely touched,. Mngee turned to his man. like " a giant re- freshed," followed him round the ring, and closed with Boscow on the cords ; much struggling, and Ibis was a complete trial of strength. The butcher extricated himself, gave Paddy another blow milter the left ear, and both fell. 10.— Boscow still on the defence, and met his antagonist with his left hand by his side; smiling in bis face; altho' evidently winded. A miiiate elapsed . before n blow was struck: at last Magee hit Boscow on his ivory box, who paid it off by n left- banded blow on Paddy's face; great courage shown on both sides, and the round terminated by Bostow being favoured with a fair knock- down blow-. [ About this time Magee's eyes were lanced; be exhibited a frightful spectacle; his mug bad an ap- pearance as if it had been scalped. His drawers and stockings were literally bathed in blood, whilst Boscow was scarcely hurt] 11.— Uoscow put in one offals favourite left- handed hits under Magee's ear. ft'lie bitter struck at the butcher, but missed, mud both went down without a blow. 12.— Betting at a stand- still, but.

BoseOW hit Mfigee on the face, but seemed quite down and weak-; and in making a blow fell'ns if exhausted.

Magee showed admirable pluck, whilst Boscow seemed sadly in want of wind ; he showed off, however, by putting his hand towards Magee's face and laughing. Ho tlien^ made two hits nt Magee, but missed ; in the tbird attempt he was more successful, placing two tremen- dous straight forward blows on his mug, and then falling. This wns a murderous round, and the combatnnts evinced a renewal of fh- tir courage nnd game. 15.— Both met in prime style ; Boscow put In another swinger on Magee's throat, who run in hend first towards his antago- nist, but was met by another hit on the right ear; both down. There was evident exhaustion 011 both sides, and . Magee exhi- bited, n dreadful spectacle. He was covered wilh blood; in w'hich his ribbon was completely dved— " Making the GHEfi.

This was a fine specimen of athletic exercise, nnd both suffered by it. - No bets stirring. 25.— Magee came, boldly up, not before time'Was called, and in the onset bit Boscow o4tf of the rinf£. Had they fought on a Huge, he wOuld have gon<* avcr- board to n certainty. Immense cheering ' from the PiultHes, who waved their shillelaghs, " threw up' their sweaty nlglit- cnps," and roarded out. " Go it, my boy!" Magee getting into favour wi'b the betters. 2( 3.— Both made play; but'Mngee followed Boscow round the ring, who fell without a " blow,— at least'ocr reporter saw none. 27.— This was another fair round wilh regular weaving nnd bard bitti- ng.

A grnpple, aud Magee received a severe ' full. 85— Mngee fought, widly, but contrived to fat in a tolerably Welt- conditioned blow, and a facer. They closed ifc Boscow fell. 36.— Unconquerable courage still animated the belligerents, notwithstanding their exhausted stale, nnd Magee's mangled fnce and throat. He was rrnlly a miserable object, both his eyes nenrly closed, arid the veins of his neck swelled to treble their natural < iste-; his fnce nssumod n black redness. Magee again bit Boscow in the ribs, who avoided another blow by falling. 37.- - Boscow- placed a heavy hit on Magee's throat; who seemed klmo. it siffTocated. Boscow still fighting shy to get wind, and then gave another throater ; a rally of the Irishman, who fell on Boseow. The seconds interfered. 33 — Boscow put. his arms across, and smiled defiance, but he had evidently got quite enough notwithstanding. Ile avoided a body blow, nnd. c! osed; a struggle for n minute, when he was pressed upon the ropes by Mngee. nnd both fell. This was the last great effort, of the gnllant Pntlander. The bitting for the last several rounds was tremeadous,— and if there Wns a classic so unclnssical ns to be on the ground, the words of the Mantuan Bard, commencing " Malta viri nequicquum," ifec. must have been brought to bis recolleclion-; they have been thus rendered: Thumps following thumps, and blows succeeding blows, Swell the black eye, andcrush the bleeding nose j Beneath the ponderousfist the jaw bone cracks, And the cheeks ring wilh the redoubled thwacks'. 39— and last round.— Boscow nil his own way, anil bit ano- ther benvy blow on M « gee\ s left ear. It wns all over with him; his left arm fellas if it hnd beon . paralyzed; bemadenn attempt to grapple with his rightarm, but it. too refused its office, lie stared about wildly, nud received nnother blow on the throat which terminated the Contest! In this round 9 and 10 to 1 were offered in favor of Boscow but there were no takers. . " 4 OBSERVATIONS. Thus etided tliis tremendous battle, in which better game and bottom could not have been shown. Boscmv was taken off the ground ill a gig, but he was in a sadly distressed slate, his face frightfully swollen— and he seemed nearly insensible to all around him. The ring was immediately broken into, and the unfortunate Irishman was surrounded by some thousands, who were anxious to see what effect the terrible heating he had received had upon him. He sal in a sort of stupor on his seconds' knees, and Mr. Probert, surgeon, of Hawarden, instantly offered his assistance, urging his immediately removal— Water was applied, and it was with some difficulty lie was lifted into a chaise, which drove off to the White Lion, Chester. Hundreds of Irishmen who had come over from Liverpool, purposely to see the turn- up, sported their money freely, and of course lost it. One poor son of St. Patrick had brought over £ 20, the savings of a year, to back his man! The appearance of the roads after the con- flict might have been compared to tlatof a beaten army. Carriages of all sorts, horsemen, and footmen— women and children,— spread over tile country in all directions. Charleroi, after the defeat of Bonaparte, never was more . chunked up with refugees, than were the adjacent villages, and especially Hawarden, with company. To the publi- cans itwas a grand field day 5 and the I . ache Eyes have, iiir the first lime, lieen immortalised in the annuls of blackguard brutality by this fight. We have heard that the grand finale ofthe battle was a blow given by Boscow with his wrist, under Magee's right ear, which turned him round, and which he followed up by another blow in the throat. Some of Magee's counter- hitting is described by the ". fancy" as admirable! Some ill- natured people have said that, after all the beating received bv both parties, the business was a yt ; we don't believe it. We have authority, however, to state, that Magee is determined ( o have another trial for it, and his hackers will support him to any amount, llos- cow went off to Liverpool 0: 1 Tuesday night; 011 Wednes- day evening we saw Paddy; his face is dreadfully mangled, but he is in excellent spivils, and declared he was able to walk home.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Mftriro, Aug. 16.— The circulation of the Pope's mani- festo, in which he wishes to convert these good people to the mild and merciful dominion of the beloved Ferdi- nand, has produced the most excellent effect here. The Congress of the State ot Mexico have published a circu- lar in anstver to it, and other spirited remonstrances have been circulated, all denying the right of the Pope to in- terfere in civil matters. This manifesto ofthe Pope's has done m ore towards counteracting even amongst the 1110s bigofted dftlie people, Roman Catholic influence, than a" tiling that could have happened. It is expected that a mi - tion will be made in Congress to exclude French ships from the ports of Mexico; and from the feeling that exists here towards the French it is very likely to be carried— This motion is to be founded, it is said, on what passed ill the Chamber of Depiities iu Paris, the 10th of May ; and the anti French feeling here is not a little increased by the rumour we have here, thai the French have taken pos- session of Cuba, anil mean to come and attack us. I need not tell VOU " fliatl pay no attention to these rumours, but they keep alive a bad feeling towards the French. M1'. . Francis Baring has just concluded the purchase of a most nolne estate here called Aguaya lov 1100,000 dollars. It ia 300: leagues jti length,.. ami " will become, when a little money lias been laid out Upon it, a most valuable property. < VROM TUB COUFLLKIL *" UAXCA1S.) The resolution of the English Cabinet has terminated as it lias been easy to foresee for some days past. It has preferred the friendship of Austria to the gratitude of a whole people? it lias preferred the appprobation of M. de Sletternich to the admiration of the world. The desire of preserving peace is the motive it assigns for its resolution. Could not Fngland, then, take Greece under her protec- tion without the peace of Europe lieing disturbed ? Are the Powers of the Holy Alliance so bent on the extermi- nation of the Greeks, that whoever should attempt lo oppose it would be certain of being implicated in a war with tliem ? Has the massacre of a Christian people so many charms ill their eyes, that they have mutually en- gaged to march their armies Against whoever should seek to deprive lliem of the peaceable enjoyment of this spectacle? One might think so 011 seeing England reject the prayers of Greece in distress* from a desire of pre- serving* to its subjects the blessings of peace— a happy peace, indeed I a peace glorious fbr Europe. It will be cemented, perhaps by the blood of a million of Christians ! But not content with refusing the protectorate of Greece, the English Cabinet stops the relief which Greece might expect from the courage and generosity of the British na tion 5 it will not suffer other Byrons to do honour to the English name, or private persons to show more zeal than their government in the service of humanity. ( The arti- cle proceeds at some length to contrast this refusal to Greece with the aid suffered to be given to the Spanish revolted culouies, whence it infers tint it was the com- mercial advantages expected from Smith America which induced the English Government to favour its emancipa- tion. In conclusion, the writer thinks tint Greece may expect poverful assistance from the United States of North America.) NARROW ESCAPE On Sunday se'nnight, as the Re- gulator coach was proceeding from Liverpool to Manches- ter, it was overtaken on this side of Warrington by a tre- mendous thunderstorm. A most vivid flash of lightning, which blinded every eye tor some seconds, darted Into the earth immediately in front of the vehicle: the horses stopped for a moment, but 011 the bursting of the peal oU thunder, which instantaneously followed, and whose loud- ness was proportionate to the brightness ofthe flash, they set off at full speed. The driver lost all command over the horses, which were fresh, and whose curbs in the non- apprehension Of diinger, had been left unfastened. The wheel of tile coach was now in the ditch by the road side, and anon it was elevated U| Kin the parapet, the passengers with some difficulty, keeping their seats. The horses at length were reined in; but the driver declares that he never witnessed a coach su violently jolted without being over- turned. ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION— The New York pipers received last Saturday contain the latest intelligence from our enterprising country men engaged in this expedition. It is contained in a letter from Dr. Richardson, the asso- ciate of Capt. Franklin, dated Penetanguishene, on Lake- Huron, ( the most advanced naval station on the Lakes,). April 22, 1825, and says, " Our Canadian voyagcurs have- arrived from Montreal, and we start to- morrow in two. large canoes, and 32 of the party for Sautt St. Marie anil Fort William, on Lake Superior. From the latter place, we proceed in lour north canoes to Lac la I'luie, Lac lies Bois, & c., to Lake Winipeg, Saskatchewan River, Beaver Lake, Frog Portage, English River, & c., to Melhye Port- age, and tile Athabasca country. On the Meth ve Portage, or at the farthest at Chiqiewyan, we expect to overtake the boats that left England last iununer, when a part of our Canadian voyagueurt will be discharged. Nothing of importance has hitherto occul- red 011 our journey, nor have we made any scientific observations worth mentioning— We are now at the western limit of cultivation in Upper Canada, the advanced settlers being within a few miles of this post. The domestic rat has not travelled this length vet, being unknown a little lothe westward of Kingston, 011 Lake Ontario. Salmon, and other fish that require periodical visits to the sea, cannot get past the Falls of Niagara, and consequently are not found higher than Lake Ontario. These falls prove a check to the progress of the eel, although that fish is known to be capable ot'traveiling a considerable distance by land. There are, however, fine sturgeon in the rivers that fall into Lake Huron ; but 1 have not seen them, and am ignorant ofthe species We hope to reach our winter quartern about the end of September, and the whole party are nt present in good health and spirits.

Of ill tire combinations which at present agitate and disturb the country ( and they all emanate from the Whigs) that of the Whigs themselves is the Biost harmless and imbecile, as will fully appear from a perusal of the pro" ceediilgs Of the Cheshire branch ofthat grumbling frater- nity, ou Monday list; Lard Crew'e; tiido him justice, slicks to his text with the greatest pertinacity; and it is quite refreshing to hear him say, speaking of Reform, " that if the caUse did not succeed, it was more the fault of the electors than the elected, since they voted for men who were ready to INCREASE rather than diminish the burdens ofthe people;" This remark may be most beau- tifully illustrated by the simple fact, that since the forma- tion ot' the club of which we learn the venerable Peer is the founder, there has been a remission of taxes to the small ahiount of TEN MILLIONS. Lord Grosvenor's speech, had it been made any vi herb else, we should say stnelt somewhat of the Straieberry Leaf: his comparison of patriot fire, with " that which burns in the Temple of Vesta" we strongly suspect means more than met the ear. The fire ofthe Goddess we know very well has long been extinguished, and that which inflames his lordship's breast burns so dimly as only just to leave light enough to Shew him the error of his way. We are bound to confess that his Lordship manifested considerable ability in proving- that if Archbishop ' l'illotson had lived ' now; instead of nearly a century and a half ago he would have voted for Catholic Emancipation j and thereby raised the fariie ofthe long deceased prelate, posthumous though it be, to the Same level as that of the present Bishop of Norwich. Mr. George Phillips talked abiiut rotten Boroughs, now we really think that gentleman shoilld not, ail things considered, be amongst the first to cry " stinking fish." We have not heard whether the Member for Shaftesbury said any thing on the same subject, albeit, it is a somewhat favorite topic ofhis. The only novelty produced on the occasion, was the condltcl of the Coroner at Bury last week, touching the exclusion of a gentleman connected with the Manchester Guardian. We have no hesitation in saying that we think, from the statement of the Guardian, that the Coroner's conduct on that occasion may be unjustifiable, but why so much fuss about it; if the man has behaved ill, be must be turned out of his place, Mid arid there is an end of it. It was the fashion some time back, to abuse and vilify the unpaid Magistracy, and now we, are pestered day alter day with vituperations against the Stiperidiary— what would people have? And as if, after all, the misconduct of one or two individuals who only hold their appoint- ments Upon good behaviour, tbuld at all endanger the liberties which the Whigs tell us it is their glorious pro vince to uphold.

SIR,— The question of admitting foreign wrought silk goods having now become one of public interest, I obtrude myself so far on Ihe notice of your readers as to solicit their attention, to the following facts: — That France produces a great proportion of its own silks, the exportation of which is prohibited, and is in the im- mediate vicinity of ihose countries whence Europe is supplied. That the price paid for throwing organ£ irie, iii Pied- mont and Italy, scarcely ever exceeds 3s. Cil. per lb., whereas the men wages, in this country, amount to frjm 4s. to 6s., exclusive of the expellees of the establishment, the rent of buildings, cost of uir'rilng, wear ahd tear of machinery, interest of capital and throwsters profit. That the analogy sought to be adduced between this manufacture and that of cotton, with reference to our superiority in machinery, does not hold; Inasmuch as the most expensive preparation of silk does not cost more than 3s. fid. per lb. abroad, or from 15 to 20 per cent on the raw article, whereas cotton is enhanced troin 100 to COO per cent on its first cds't. That this arises necessarily from the nature of the article — cotton being produced as a wool, atld silk is a thread, aiid tlie stupendous mechanical engines of this country are only applied to perform in one case, what nature does in the other;— the formation of a thread. That the cost of dyeing here is at least 30 or 40 per cent higher thari it is in France, and tlie rate'of wages in the ulterior branches of tlie manufacture— soft silk winding, anil weaving, are 50 per ceiA higher upon all arlicliis of fancy. That the great improvement ill figure weaving, by the introduction id' the Jacquard loom, is hardly developed here, whilst it has been carried to a great extent in France, and that there are not at this moment 500 Jacquards in this realm, whereas there are 20,000 iri Lyons alone. That the relative cost of production exists in an infi- nitely higher disproportion in the East Indies and China : insomuch that France has protected her own manufacture, by a prohibition of all the manufactures of all the world ; and that, however unfashionable the doctrine of prohibi- tion may be, under that system France has acquired her present superiority. That there r. re at this BWiMt from 100,000 to 150,000 pieces of East India bandannas in the Company's ware- houses awaiting the coming of July, which have been pur- duced at from 16s. to 23s. per piece, which could not be produced here, at the present prices of silk, at less than from 40s. to 45s. That the warehouses are stored with various other in- scriptions of goods of similar comparative value, and tha^ particularly, 36 irich black silk fringed handkerchiefs have been purchased there at ,19s. for 15 ' handkerchiefs, the price here lielng from " l( is. to 44s. per dozen. That, as to the question of the sufficiency of the dlity as a protection, it is a well known tact in the trade that the prices of smuggling are from 30 lo35 per cent— higher, in fact, than the " end• moitt" protecting duly ; notwith- standing which tile market is now deluged with foreign goodi. I have not half exhausted the subject, although I fear I have already gone to too great length for your columns : perhaps I may revert to it; I do not despair of this country being at some time or other in a state lor competition— for instance, when the pound of bread here aiid at Lyons may more nearly assi ml'ate than 24 I. and ljd., the present prices; and when that monopoly may have ceased which offers raw silk and manufactured goods at the same price jier pound weight But I do hope Ministers will examine the subject more thoroughly, before they permit measures to proceed which will have the immediate e ® * ct of overwhelming the rising energies of an encreasirig trade. Yours, & c. Q. To the Eni- roa of the MACCLESFIELD COutUEti; SIR,— I observe by your last week's paper, that Mr. James Cockson has made a second attempt to set liiihsetf right With the puliiSc, iii Reference to the part wliich he and his servant have acted iri the kte proceeding SgainSt me fot a Penalty under the Game Laws, i need not point out I10W feeble ami how futile ate His efforts— the public well krtow how to appreciate the declarations of such a person as John Newton, the servant, under whose drunkenness and garrulity Mr. Cockson wishes to shelter himself. Even Mr. Cockson now admits, that his servant had his directions to appear as a witness, arid neither he or the servant has ventured to deny the main facts put forth in my last letter, but Mi'. Cockson's memory ap- pears sorfiewhal treacherous, or he would see that his pre- sent admission but ill accords with his solemn assurance previous to the hearing of the inlbrliiation, that " he knew nothing lit all about the hiatter, arid had nothing to do with it." In conclusion I ImVe only to add that the servant, im- mediately after I was coiivicted, did say in the presbilce of several persons, seven in number, that he shduld not have appeared as a witness had not his master ordered him to do so, and that lie also made the same declaration bfefore his master, when my brother was present, sOon after the hearing of the case. Trusting yott will give insertion to this letter, I remain, Sir, your obliged bumble servant; GEORGE AINSWORTH. Kcrridge, Oct. I2fh, 1825.

On Tuesday Week, Mr. Johnson; a respectable fatmfer ef'TroWell Moot, was robbed at one Of the principal inns ift Nottingham, iitider the following circumstances : He was accosted in the street by a geulleihaii, with " How do yoti, Sir ? You cilme from Trowell, don't you ?", " Yes;" was the reply; but you Injve the advantage Of int>, for I don't know you."—" Oh," savs tlie gentlcihan, " I know yifu well, and will be obliged if yijH will carry me a letter to a p.' fSifn ( whose nariie was Mentioned) at Trowel I." Mr. Johnson with pleasure assented. The gentleman then proposed going to an inn to write the note; where thev had hot been seated many minuted before two others came in, and the conversation turned on losses in twist machi- nery, and general roguery; At lerigtli it was agreed to order four glasses of brandy and water, when the villains ( for such they turned out to be) took the opportunity to put some narcotic' substance into Mr. Johnson's glass, which after he had drank, caused him to fail into a stupor, from wliicfi lie could not be roused for several hours. It flats then discovered that he hail been robbed of £ 11. in cash. BRISTOL— At the swearing- in of the . Mavot and She- riffs on Thursday, the 29th ult. a protect was delivered against their election, upon tire ground that the elective power is vested hi the comtiio'nalty of ( tie citv, under the Charter of Edward III. Which, it is argued, being con- firmed by Parliament, could not be abrogated by any subsequent Charter,- not having the authority of Parlia- ment. For a long series of years, the Corporation have exercised the right of election, under the authority of a Charter granted by Queen Anne. The protesting part v also contend that the Common Council must be elected with the consent of the Commonalty. The trial from Chester, at the late- assizes in Shrewsbury, has given courage to the Bristoleans on this occasion." MURDER NEAR BURY— On Tuesday last, a man ' named John Diggle, was apprehended at lleyton, on sus- picion of having been concerned in the murder of Mr, and Mrs. Cass, riear Bury, ihe circumstances of which we stated last week.' On inquiry, it appeared that. on Motidav even. Ing, Diggle arrived at a. public house in Roy ton, where his conduct began to attract general observation from the per- sons Ihete. He danced and sung for sometime, arid at length began to oiler for sale some wearing apparel, a pall- et'spectacles, and an umbrella, which he had in his pos- session! As the rumour ofthe murder had then reached Royton, suspicion began to arise thiuthis man was in some way connected with it '; but no steps were taken that night to secure him. On the neit morning, however, the con. stable of Royton went to the public houile, where he had remained all night, took him into custody, and despatched intelligence to Btiry of his having done so. Ou Wednes- day morning the prisoner and the articles which he had in his possession wei'e brought Over to liirile, wherfe seve- ral of the latter were immediately identified as the pro- property of the deceased, especially a pair of shoes and the spectacles. Tile conduct of the prisoner was extremely hardened ; and when taken to view the bodies oh Wed- nesday morning, lie touched them with the utmost indif- ference. He has, however; nude some disclosures affect- ing another person, which, at present, il would not be pro- per to make public. NEW- INVENTED SILK LOOM— A loom has. recently been made at Lyons for silk- weaving, which has many advantages. It is com| iosei! of five stages, and the me chanism, which is simple, allows one man to weave five pieces at the same time; Tbe loom has been examined by tbe Commissioners from the Academy of Lyons, in company with M. Jacqiiart, the inventor of that sort now in use, and which was imported into England with great haste, tending to prove its great ad vantages. M. Jacquart is of opinion that the new invention is of great importance, and he has pointed out some improvements in it. The inventor is M. Lebruh, and the Academy intends to con- fer a gold medal on him..., By thisloom a saving will be made of four- fifths in ' thee* pence of labour Courier. It gives us much pleasure to notice the introduction of anew branch of manufacture into Scotland. The silk ma- nufacturers of tliis ' country have hitherto had to purchase all their silk yarn in a prepared siate from Macclesfield, and other places in England. A11 enterprising company have taken a portion of the handsome factory, recently erected by Mr. Campbell, in . John- street, Bridgelon, and the pre- paration of silk has commenced.. One of the flats is al- ready fitted up with machinery, and another flat is fitting lip. The machinery is driven by a 32 horse power engine. There are nearly one hundred persons employed in tbe throwing, winding, arid spinning of silk, and all the other preparations necessary to make it ready for tlie silk weaver. An experienced manager from Macclesfield is engaged to teach the learners. They are all bound for three years. ' The work is very light and healthy. There are a " num- ber of very VOII'ng girls engaged at it. There are some other factories putting up for the same manufacture in this neighbourhood; arid it prmliises td give,. employment to n'tiriibers, and do much good to this part ofthe Country. — Glasgow Chronicle. STATE ofr CRIME.- r- It is gratifying to record tliat the autunin Circuit of the Justiciary Court has been altogether bloodless ; po criminal having been sentenced to ilje. Their Lordships, in almost every instance, congratulated the Sheriffs oil the lightness of the calendars. At Jedburgh, there was only one case for trial; at Dumfries, 2 ; Ayr, G; Inverary, 5t Inverness, 8; Aberdeen, 10; Perth, 14; Stirling, 11 ; Glasgow, 42; total, 99. A majority of the cases tried at In verary and Inverness, were accu- sations of deforcement qf revenue officers; anil, at all the Courts, a great proportion of the crimes libelled, were trivial assaults; arid coritequently visited witli lenient pu- nishment. ' These are conclusive proofs of the vigilance of the local Magistracy, and the general prosperity of the country. At Glasgow, alone, at the preceding Circuit, there were 104 pannels,. and against these l, Co0 witnesses were sumnione. it.— Eiliabiirgh Observer. It is painful to have to record the loss of a team of four very valuable horses, belonging to Messrs. John Fletcher and Son, brewers, at Cavendish Bridge, on Ffidav evening last, at the dangerous ford at Ambe'rston, in this county. The waggoner had crossed the river Derwent about 11 o'clock in the morning, but ill the short interval of a few hours the river, from the previous night's rain had risen three feet above the ordinary level at which it is deemed safe to use the ford. On the return of the team about 7 o'clock, the horses, with the waggoner and his son, a boy about seven years old, passed into the river unconscious of its sudden rise, and were instantly carried away by the impetuous stream. Tlie waggoner, riding ripon the fore horse, had, nearly reached tlie opposite side of the river when the floating waggon with every thing attached to it were swept away. . The. waggoner having with difficulty reached the shore; his first attention Was directed to his little boy, who Was floating rapidly down the stream upon a truss of hay; he was rescued from his perilous situation and the horses instantly perished— Surely it is high time this very dangerous lord was either stopped as a public way, or thai guide posts were immediately erected, to warn the unwary who have occasion to pass tlie ford, where ten horses have been lost in a shbrt space Of time. — Derby Mercury. IRELAND— We regret to find from the Provincial Jour- nals', as well as from some communications, which have reached us from different parts of the country, that symp- toms of outrage are beginning to manifest themselves in various. quarters. Some instances of this kind wilibefotimi detailed in another place: These, coupled with the accounts already published in the Evening Post, would serve to prove, not indeed that there is any combination, but that there is a spirit among the peasantry, which will require on the part of the Government, and of the local authorities, mea- sures the most prompt, as well as the most unremitting vi^ igance. Tbe state of the farming arid landed interest being so prosperous, and the - potato- crop having turiied out very nearly an average one, we do not apprehehd that these sviilpioms will eventuate in any thing more serious than the ordinary class of offences with which this country has been periodically visited. The fahners and landlords ( such of the latter as happen to be resident,) will, 110 doubt, act a part different from that which they pursued in the winter i) f 1821 22. The former are able to pay their rents, anil the latter are in the receipt of their In come. There is also a tolerably well organised police. and. in short, the machine ofthe local administration winks with ease and smoothness. We repeat it, then, , that we have no apprehensions for the gereral peace of the coun- try during the approaching winter ! but activity, we see, will be indispensable.— Dublin Evening Post. Sixty ofthe crew of the Piranga, Lord Cochrane's ship, have deserted, and state, - in justification of their conduct, to the Port Admiral at Portsmouth, that they can get no remuneration fiif their services, and that they are baffled every time they ask for wages or prize- money. Their provisions have been stopped, and they spefifc of cruelty, tyranny, and oppression exercised over them in the Bra- zilian service. They conclude their appeal by saying, that as they have no security for the payment of wages or prize- money, they feel that ' they have the privilege of go'rtig where they please in time of peace, and as they are* not bound to slay they are all determined to leave that vessel. Tiie Greek brig of. war C. imrini, Captain Miauli, son of the celebrated Greek Admiral arrived at Portsmouth on Monday from H vdra, whence she sailed on the fith of August, with secret despatches from the Greek Govern- ment, addressed, it is understood, to the Greek Committee and to Mr. Canning. As soon as the vessel was cleared from quarantine, Captain Miauli proceeded to London. It is conjectured that the despatches relate to an invita- tion to our Government to form an alliance with the Greeks; The Cimoni is to proceed to tlie River, to await ah answer to the proposal A Gentleman ( the only pas- senger), who has been some time travelling hi Italy and Greece, gives an interesting sketch of the present state of the Greek cause. He Says, the Greeks are not suf- ficiently united to ensure success against the ' Turks, although their operations are carried 011 with such want of enterprise and activity as can scarcely lie believed, and who possess no disciplined troops. To remedy tliis, how- ever. Mahomet Ali, Pacha of Egypt, has collected a body of French and other Foreign Officers, and by their aid disciplined about 10,000 Arabs, who have entered the interior ofthe Morea, and met with great success. The Ttirks have cavalry— the Greeks none. The winter com- ing On is in favor of the Greeks; and as the Turks are hadly supplied with provisions, it is not likely that Ali will permanently establish' himself— Achmet Pacha, at the head of 30,000 men, invests Missolonghi; but the Greeks have hitherto defended themselves successfully, arid the troops in the neighbouring mountains are con- tinually harassing the Turkish camp. ' The Sultan's armies are unfit to attempt the siege of any fortified place; they have scarcely any artillery, and that so badly served, as to be rather an incumbrance than ail advantage. The greatest enemy to the Greeks is dissention—' he powerful Native Chiefs are all anxious to tak> the lead, and rather attend to their own aggrandisement than to the common good— anil this has been tbe great obstacle to. the advance- ment of their affairs.

The vintage throughout France is more than half finished. The quality is very superior, but the quantity is not very ' abundant. ' The vintage is finished in the Laonnois. . The qualitv, of the wine, i\ is estimated, will be equal t'o the vear of the comet. Extract of a letter from Madeira, dated September 17: Our vintage is gathering in. In the South part of the island, where the finer wines are produced, there is a great diminution in ' quantity, owing to 11 large proportion of the grape having lotted, in consequence of the unusual rains, we have had throughout Ihe summer; and the quality of what h. ns been spared is very bad, at least it must be sup- posed so, as the fruit has not been sufficiently seasoned for want of heat; much of this wine will Jie'maile into brandy, I " apprehend. In. some parishes, on the North side, the lot has been nearly as bad, though there are two parishes, l'iir o de Cruz and Fayal', where the graves look very well, nnd the wine will tu'rh but well; Prices have risen three fo four pound per pljie as it is, but I expect; when the wine becomes ready to be examined in Decern* her next, that what may prove gdo.' l will rise much more."

" Notice to Fishermen, and Fishmongers, respecting the practice ntpc^ ing the claws of Crabs and Lobsters. We whose names are liei'eiinto subscribed, inhabitants and house- holders of Bath and its neighbourhood, being of opinion that ali cruelly or unnecessary pain towards infenor animals is re- prehensible in a moral view, do consider, as very disgraceful, the method common on our coasls, of putting teoodcnpegs into Hi: great claws of crabs and lobsters, instead of tying- them with fif ing, to prevent them injuring each olher, or persons'em- ployed in handling ( hem. Great and protracted suffering is of course caused by this method; and therefore, in order to dis- courage it as much as possible, we Ho hereby declare publicly, and give notice to all whom it may concern, ( hat we will not, in future, buy crabs nnd lobsters in that pegged and tortured • r'lic; but shall require that Ihe claws of all ( hose exposed to sale be lied, according as has been snid, and as they are ia t!; e London market. We are further induced to ma'ie this de- cJuration, from ( he" eotisiderntioii, ( bat besides the cruelty to tiie animals, they are thus, as- an article of provision, sometimes • imterially injured. Their fieshj when the pegs have been long in it, becomes infituned, * wasted,'-' watery,' and in some cases suppurated ; it must therefbre- necessarily be rendered unpatal- h1> lc and disgusting," as well as unwholesome. ' And we will moreover, as we have ' opportunity, use our influence- with others to adopt this our resolution, having perceived' with sa- tisfaction, that by such- means the above- practice lias, in shine principal fishing towns, been nearly, if not totall^ abolished. We are humbly of opinion that if the system" of ' peg- ging' had improved instead of injured the flavour of the fish, the gluttony of these very sensitive persons would have prevailed over their humanity. The John Bull thus expresses himself on the subject:— There can be- but one opinion on this proceeding. We confess, that if less had been said about the injury done to the fish by the odious pegs, we should have felt a more un- mixed gratitude on behalf of ourselves anil the lobsters,— its it isi the benevolence of the resectable ladies and gen- tlemen whose names appear as Lobs'erites and Anti- Peg. gites; savours a little of selfishness. However, self will mingiein most matters— and, as our friend Mrs. Rams- bottom says, " Number one is always the first in the row." But one thing strikes us as wanting to complete the tri- umph ofthe Anti- Peggites, which certainly remains un- achieved— They speak pathetically of the great and pro- traded sufferings of lobsters with pegs in their claws— What do they think of the necessary process which the said lobsters are doomed to undergo before they are eaten ? we mean the progressive boiling to death by which they are gastronomrcaily jnepsrre'd for their tlbles. Now we put it seriously to Miss Pistorof Ilennet- street, or Ulr. Tousler of St. ' James's Tarade,- or Mrs'Amvas of Stanhope- street, or Miss Pocoefc- of Northampton- street; ' whether if their tetiderness- vfere genuine and sincere they would not abstain from" eating lobsters altogether— we would ask Or." Kidstnn of Belmont, or Mr. Dulhunly of Bennett- street, whether this abstinence would not be a more genuine proof of tenderness to - animals, than a par- tial opposition to pegged claws, on theground,' that be- sides being cruel, they cause suppurations— ssupperation, we rather think ! We are afraid thai it is with a view to render the poor boiled creatures more delicate after death, for the evening's repast, that this manifesto against peggery IISB been put forth. Let everything be done ill reason, let kindness, huma- nity, and benevolence have their due, let Mr. Martin be praised and supported fur'his exertions as he deserves, lH'him at all events share the praise bestowed upon Lord ICrskine, by Sir: Samuel ltomiliy, Mr. Jekyll, and above all,' by the opposition papers of the day, for his bill and for his endeavours to enfoice its enactments; but do not let us see serious protests about pegging lobsters put forth by ladies and gentlemen who boil the said lobsters alive and > e ittliem afterwards. We have before ridiculed the over- refinement of ten- derness— the caricatured humanity ef the envious imita- tors and rivals of tiie Member for Galway, and we not o: ilv think his application at Bow- street against the Chro- i hie savoured ofthe absurd ( however cross " the abuse in Blackwood,) hut we think the travestie of the affair which appeared in that paper, where Kitty Stephens is the sup- posed complainant, an admirable ' jeu d'rspnt-, and we'feel very much inclined, after reading the Bath prticiamation, to put it to all the subscribers, whether they can indulge themselves, as the winter approaches, in the enjoyment of EELS. A N AWN-, sua raps or OYSTERS? the process of brawn- making being perhaps the most barbarous Operation conceivable; while the eating of oysters, simple and ami- able as it mav he thought at Mr. Blood's in King- street, or Mr. Dud's in Bonnet- street, is the most abominable combination of burglary and murder— the ravaging hand ofibe supner- ealer first breaks into the dwelling of the peaceable fish, and to evade the charge ot'killing the bar- barians gobbles him up nlive. Upon the whole, therefore, while the excellent persons who have handed themselves down to posterity by affix- ing their names to the Anti- Peggery Proclamation, con- tinue to practice the barbarities to which we have just aliuded, we cannot give that unmixed applause ia their magnanimity and consideration which would - otherwise be so unquestionably their due. INGENIOUS DEPRAVITY-. A man who had committed a robbery, attended with some peculiar circumstances of aggravation, was taken into custody. As this was the first offence, he felt all the horror and degradation of his situation which an awakened conscience could impart. One of his fellow prisoners, however, in whom art, impudence, ami criminality were combined, took an occasion most gravely to reprimand his melancholy companion, on account of his dejection-; assuring trim, that unless he turned his attention to the means of' eluding justice, the consequences would be seri- ous. Revived a little ut the prospect ofhis release, though only promised bv a felloA' prisoner, the young criminal listened with much attention, and began to inquire on what foundation he- could rest his hopes? " This is a point," replied his instructor, " which I will not reveal. Your business is to secure payment to me of a sum < if money on your acquittal; to plead not guilty at the bar ; and when discharged lo provide for your own safety?' The hope of life being too strong for the voice of conscience, the young man consented to plead not guilty, and their affairs were soon arrange'-. " You have now-( said the instructor) nothing mure to do, than to mofce me acquainted - with every minute circumstance connected with the robbery. Oive me the time, the place, the light, the company, the tiress. thp conversation, with all the particulars of which you hare anv recollection." Their affairs having reached this crisis, they retired to a corner, where the young man communicated e » erjr circumstance of the robbery which be recollected. This, by repetition, was so ™ impressed upon the mind - of fets companion-; who, by questions and observations, continued to increase bis stock of informa- tion, Until the dav of trial arrived, which was to put his inn- en tut v to the test. The young man was first arraigned'-; ami, contrary to the expectation of his prosecutor, and of ifio3t present, whu iiad- beeii'inlbrmed yf his penitence, pleaded Not Guiltv. The evidence " Were then examined,, and the iacts were* stibstantiUtiM ill fiie- mesl unequivocal manner. The prisoner had no defence'to make"; and the only thing which was now wanting to ratify his doom, was the awful sentence of the judge, which he every moment expected to hear pronounced. At this eventful crisis, an unusual stir was heard among the prisoners who'had not vet been brought to trial. ' On making inquiry into the cause of this disorder, one of them desired that the Court might fie informed, that he had something of imjiortance to communicate upon the present occasion-; and desired that he might be brought " to the bar before sentence was pronounced on the prisoner then on his trial. Tiie intel- ligence being communicated, he was orderedto appear, at? d lo state what he knew relative to the affair then under consultation. This was just what he wanted'; and hav- ing obtained libertv, he addressed the Court in nearly the following language":—" It is witli the utmost shame that - I acknowledge myself to have been through a considerable course of my" iife, a most abandoned character. But my career Of wickedness is now brought' nearly to an eXd-; for I expect very shortly to forfeit my life lo the violated laws of my country. But, bad as 1 have been. I cannot think of permitting an innocent man to die for a crime of which I have been guilty. VI am the person who ought to suffer for il. And to prove: to the satisfaction of the Court that mv confession is true, 1 will relate all the eir- Cuinstances connected with the robbery." Having said this, he began a history of the Whole transaction, and en- tered into all the minute particulars of the time, place, manner, and conversation f& c. with which the prosecutor and his witnesses were well acquainted, and appealed to them in their turns respectively for the truth of his decla- rations ; ithd finally concluded his account with a serious admonition to the witnesses, and to all present, to be par- ticularly careful how they swore away the" life of an ^ In- nocent man under a delusive train of appearances. •' On hearing this unexpected statement, the judge, after some observations, ordered the prisoner to be acqlirtted and set at liberty.- In the meanwhile, the self- c( mvicted felon was remanded, while his indictment was preparing, with orders to appear and take his trial on the ensuing day,' for the offence frhich lie had thus voluntarily- acknowledged. On being brought to'the bar on tiie morrow, when the usual question of Guilty'or Not Guilty was put, to fhe utter amusement of all present, he pleaded Not Guiltv— The astonishment which this excited, was scarcely less than that which bis previous confession had produced. He was then refninded of the transactions of yesterday, and admonished < not to indulge fallacious hopes of escaping justice. Nothing, however, could intimidate him, or in- duce him to alter his resolution. He still persisted that he was not guilty, adding when addressing himself to the ". Judges"" it you please, my I. ord, your own gaoler shall prove my innocence." On being asked to explain him- self, he replied, " if you will order the gaol- keeper to • look over his books, he will find that I was in gaol when the robbery was committed." Oil search* being inadc it was discovered that he had actually been lodged in gaol on the day preceding tllat of the robbery, and his acquittal was the'ftlevitable consequence. The return of commitments, trials, convictions; senten- ces, & c. for England and Wales, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed 24th June, 1825, bss just been dis- tributed. This is the first return, from which any tole- rable idea of the wotking of the criminal" system of Eng- land can be formed. 4 It is divided thto three branches :— 1. Returns by the clerks of thufpeaet bffcoUHtiM. 2. Returns by the clerks of the* peace and town clerks of cities, fbwns, anil places. i 3. Returns by the several clerks of assize, clerks " of the '" crown; rind clerks of the sessions of oyer and terminer, and gaol delivery, We find the commitments in the First, branch amount to j;- TS31 Second branch ... ItJIiT Third branch ( including city of London).. w.-... .5098 Amounting in all to 14050 For some of the counties, as Sussex anil Huntingdon, there are no returns, so that the whole cannot be much short of 15,000.— I. ast year then is the heaviest year of crimes we have yet had. The year 1819 was 14,254. This was the year ir. which the body of the people- was subjected to the greatest privations. ' In 1S20, ' the amount fell to 13,710, and the following year, to 13,115. pWhile food was cheap, thieving naturally decreased. With high prices it has as naturally increased— An analysis of the returns of 1824 will shew in the most striking manner the necessary connection between | roverty and crime. The whole num- ber of persons committed forthemanufaCtur ng and pros- perous County of York, including the- separate jurisdic- tious, ' and the* commitments forthe assizes, was only641. It is generally supposed that large towns ore hot- beds of crime', but here we include the towns of- Leeds, Halifax, Sheffield, 1 Yoft, Wakefield, - Iluddcvs! ie! d, -& c. Contrast with this'the NirfiiJk circuit. - The commitments torthis circuit, in which there are comparatlvel^' few large towns, are' 1,18( 1. ' fhe population of'Yorfeshire'is 1,173,187; that of the Norfolk circuit is less, namely, 1,002,104. According to the parliamentary returns, Dorset was tiie county in which the wages of labour seemed lowest, being not Inure than 7s a week. The commitments to the sessions for Dorset, of which the population is 144,490, amountto 109. Cumberland, Northumberland, and Dur- ham are, perhaps,- the three counties in which labour is best paid, and the necessaries of life are cheapest. The whole of the commitments to the sessions of thesj three • counties, of which the population is 002', 77'-', amount only to - 113 . Morning Chronicle. COFSTTIY BAN'KS iTlie town of Devonport has expe- rienced the greatest shock to its public credit by the failure of the Naval Bank of Messrs. Shieils and . Johns. The failure of the Kingsbridge Banking Establishment of Messrs. Square, Prideaux, and Co. la^ t week, connected as it was with a district of many miles' around, composed mostly of small farmers, was replete wrtti distress, and occasioned, from a hiss of confidence, a partial pressure on all the banks ( six) of Plymouth and Devonport. As the extent of that calamity became known, 3 kind of panic prevailed, and Saturday last, being maVket- day, a general run commenced oil all the banks, principally against thkt of Shieils and Johns, who were compelled to shut up an ' hour before the usual time. O11 Monday a notice appeared in the windows, that, in consequence of the severe pres- sure of Saturday, Shiells and Johns were unable to resume thair payments. The most favourable reports respecting tlie finances ofthe firm are, that their debts are £ 00,000, - and they have assets to the amount of £' 20,000; whilst others state their debts to be £ 100.000 and that the estate will net pay Ss. in the pound. The excitement of the public was heightened on Thursday by the announcement of the death of Mr. Shiells. He was found dead ill his bed at live o'clock ihe previous afternoon, at a small estate he has called Corn Wood, about fourteen mites from Ihe town. Thomas Slinton Shieils, Esq. was a Magistrate for the county of Devon. EXTKAOHDINARY PnAun— A few days ago, a- woman went into a public house in this town, and called for a noggin of rum, which was served to her in a room where there was no other person. She said a'young man was oulside, who would be in directly and pay for it, and the rum was consequently'left with her. The landlord waited some time, and seeing no young man come in, thought it high time lo be looking after his money: with this View, he went into the room, " where she sat, and saw the vessel was as full as he had left it. The woman then told liim to lav the rum aside and she would look for the young man " as be was a long time incoming. The unsuspecting .' landlord did as he was desired, and put the jug in the bar. Having occasion soon alter to pass his nose somewhat near it, he thought, at: he afterwards expressed himself, that it had a rum smell," though not exactly asmell- df rum. On examination, he found that the rum was gone, and it's place occupied by something else not quite so savoury. We believe tfe same woman has committed similar frauds upon many publicans; but not always with the same success. I11 one case, in which she was detected, the landlord inflicted a very appropriate punishment by pouring down her throat the liquid which she had sub- stituted for his rum Manchester Advertiser. FIDELITY When Lord Rawdon was in " South Ca- rolina, during the American war, he had to send an ex- press of great importance through a country fil- e. l witli theenemy, which a corporal ofthe I/ lh dragoons, ofknown courage and intelligence, was selected to escort. They had not proceeded far when they were fired upon, the express killed, and the corporal wounded In the side. Careless of his wound, he thought but of his duty; he snatched the despatch from the dying man, anil rode on till from the loss of blood he fell; when fearing the des- patch would be taken by the enemy, he thrust it inlo the wound until it closed U[ ion it. He was found next ( lay by a British patrole, with a smile of conscious virtue 011 his countenance, with only life suffici « rtly remaining to point to the fatal depository of his secret, in searching the wound was found the cause of his death,; for the sur- geon declared that it was not itself mortal, but rendered j so by the insertion of the paper—^ oldier't Cnn^ amm. LAND oy TFLE BANKS or THE MEHST. Y The vil- lages of Tranmere, Birkenhead, and the whole of the Che- shire coast skirting the . Mersey, opposite lo Liverpool, which form perhaps'One'of the most delightful marine si- tuations in this paft of the country, are becoming most fa- shionable and general places of residence, and promise in a short time to present us with a most populous district, The rage for building, particularly in the neighbourhood f'f tiietwo first- merttioned places, fs beyond all conception, and the increase in the value of land equally great. In illustration ofthis it is only necessary to observe that within the last few days, a single aere of land was knocked down to a purchaser at the enormous sum of thirteen hundred pounds. It is also worthy ot notice, in further proof ofthe tact, that a gentleman who possesses considerable property in the neighbourhood, sold a track of land for one hun- dred and five thousand pounds, but from some demur in completing the sale, the contract was nullified. Since that transaction, we are credible informed the gentleman has disposed of a part of the property lor £ 50,000. and that the remainder part of it at the present time is esti- mated at not less than two hundred thousand pounds. HOIISE- CHESNUT The fruit of the horse- chesnut is collected in Saxony for feeding sheep, where it is consi- dered- a wholesome food,- and a specific remedy against the rot. It is given them in autumn, when the green food is nti longer to lie had. The horse- chesnuts are cut in pieces, and distributed in the quantity of about two pounds and a hull' fiir each, and less for lambs. Sheep as well as cattle at first refuse it, but greedily take it when custom has made it familiar. They eat the prickly oulside with satis- faction. There is dangei in giving these fruits without culling them ill pieces, as they may stick in the throat, and 0 casion the death of the animal. SUMMAIIY PUNISHMENT.— At the Tate Tewkesbury ' Races, a genteel dressed man, booted and spurred, was detected in the act of picking a gentleman's pocket. On a hue and cry being raised, the culprit was seized by the multitude, and dragged down to the " Severn, into which, headforemost^ he was soused, without any ceremony, and which he swam across, very- little aided, we presume, by his boots and spurs : his confederates, in the mean time, having Conducted his rosinante to the opposite side, he mounted her, and got clear" off. The following day, another of the light- fingered gentry was detected in pfcking a pocket, when he was served in a similar man- lier ; but whether owing1 to the " Want of boots and spurs, or rather as some imagine, not being an expert swimmer- he was nearly drowned, and with difficulty extricated from his perilous situation by having a rope thrown out lo him, with which he was safely dragged on shore, though apparently much exhausted. We hope that this lessou, of having once been saved by a ro| » e, will have a salutary effect upon his future conduct, which, if presisted in, will perhaps have a contrary tendency. OFENISO Ot THE SrOCXTOV AN- T) DAHLIXGTOM RAIE- WAY— The opening of this stupendous work, which effects a communication between the port of Stockton and the coal- field in the interior parts of the county of Dur- ham, took place on Tuesday Week. About eight o'clock, thirteen waggons, twelve of them laden with two tons of coal each, and the other vtrlth sucks flour, the whole covered with people, were drawn up the inclined plane at Bmsselton, amidst the cheers of assembled thousands This inclined plane is above a mile and a half long, yet by meantrof the powerful steam engines erected at its top ( each being of ergiitv horse power,) the waggons, with their immense loads were drawn up in eight minutes, by a patent rope, in one piece, which extends the whole length. After a short lime the waggons descended the other Side of the hill, and took their station, on the level below, whence the procession was to set out. About ten o'clock the loco- motive engine, or steam- horse, as it- was more generally termed, gave " note Of preparation ;" the cry of " all ready," was heard, and the engine- with its appendages moved forward in the following order :— The company's loco- motive engine; the engine's tender, laden with" water and Coals; five waggons, laden with coals, one with flour, and one containing surveyors, engineers, & c. the committee and' other- proprietors, in the coach belonging to the company ; six waggons, with strangers; fourteen waggons with workmen and others; six waggons laden with coals. The whole of the above was attached to the loco- motive engine. Then followed 24 wagons, filled with workmen and others,' drawn by horses. Flags with inscriptions were displayed on four'of the waggons. The scene, on the moving of the procession, sets descrip- tion at defiance ; the welkin rang with loud huzzas, while the machine moved onward at'the rate of" 10 or 12 miles an hour, with a Weight of not'less than 89 tons attached to it. Notwithstanding a delay of more than balfan hour the procession reached Darlington about twelve o'clock, there being in and on the waggons attached to the loco- motive engir. e no ' less than 548 persons. At Darlington 10 to 12,000 persons were assembled. The proces- ion afterwards, drawn by the loco- motive engine, proceeded Onward, followed by some other wnggtms, drawn by horses and filled with company, towards Stockton, which they reached before four o'clock. The engine and its appeu- dages nioved 011 the descent at the rate of fifteen or'six- teen miles nil hour. Onreaching the company's wharf& t Stockton, a salute of seven guns was fired, and the band struck up '^ God save the king," which was followed by three'- times three stentorian cheers. It was ascertained that nearly. 700 persons were in arid upon the waggons at- tached to the loco- motive engine when it entered Stockton. The distance from Brusselton engine to Stockton is twenty and a half miles, and the entire length ol'the line from Wit- toil Park colliery nearly twenty- five miles, being, we be- lieve, the largest rail road in the kingdom. SELF DEVOTION AND TIIEACHEUY The following anecdote is related by Captain Korff, who served in Spain, • in a regiment of infantry of the guard of Jerome, the Ex- King of Westphalia, ' fatigued and exhausted by forced marches, the regiment to which Captain Kroff belonged, arrived before the monastery of Figueras in Spain. The colonel of the regiment, a Frenchman, sent, in an officer to demand of the prior the necessary refresh- ments for the men, as well as tor the staff', consisting of about twenty officers. The prior, with some ' of tiie monks, came out to meet the general, assuring him that theinha- bitants of Figuera3 would provide fiir the soldiers, but that he himself would prepare a frugal meal fbrthe staff. The prior's offer was accepted ; Captain Kroff received some commissions for the regiment, and about an hour afterwards it was announced to the prior that the dinner was served upin the refectory of the monastery. The general, who was aware that the French in Spain- bad- rea- son to be 011 thiir guard in eating and drinking what was offered by the natives, invited the prior to dine with them; he and two other monks accepted the invitation in such a manner as to leave 110 doubt that he felt himself much flattered by it. After the officers had taken their seats, the prior said grace, carved, eat of every dish- first, and with his two brethren, who poured out the wine, drank plentifully with his guests- It was not till'towards the end ofthe repast, that Captain Kroll' returned, having been detained bv the commission of the general longer ' than he expected. Baring that interval lie had found an- opportunity to take some refreshment, and only par ticipated in the conversation of the company, hosts as well as guests, at the monastery. ' The general, in particular, espressed his satisfaction to'the prior, whose kind recep- tion had surpassed all expectation. Suddenly, however, the cheerfulness of the prior was changed into- prof'ound seriousness ; he rose from his seat, thanked the company fiir tlie honour they bad done him, and concluded with asking if any of them hail any affairs to settle in this world? adding with emphasis, " This, gentlemen, is the last meal you and I shall take on earth: in an hour we'shall all be before the judgment seat of God !" Cold trembling horror seized the amazed guests-; for the prior and his twomonks had poisoned the wine in which they had pledged the French officers ; all the 3iitidotes given by the French physicians were in vain: in less than an Infer every man of them bad ceased to live. There are few examples of self- devotion more striking than the above ; but although to die for our country is - Ruble, we cannot help turning with horror from that mistaken notion which disgraces patriotism and is unworthy true courage, which, as in the present case, sacrifices the laws of hospitality to treachery, and returns murder for confidence.— Soldier's ' Compan ion. A Cow DOCTOR !!!— To hear of a man curing a cow " is no news," hut, to bear of a cow curing a man, >' is rare news indeed !" Yet the Essex Herald relates as fact that a cow has lately performed on a person by a single effort, a successful surgical operation, which it generally requires the united strength of several men, exerted for a considerable time, to effect. This curious case is stated in the following terms :—" A short time since, a person re- siding at Kimbolhm, had the misfortune to dislocate his shoulder, which reduced him for sometime to the inconve- nience of hearing it suspended in a useless state by a • sling. One fortunate day happening to be in a field, he became suddenly surrounded by a herd of cows, from whom he found some difficulty in making his escape; at length he was met by some of his neighbours, shouting with exlacy, and twirling his long disabled- limb like the handle of a windlass. O11 making his retreat from the herd, he hail received a kick 011 the elbow from one of the cows, the velocity of which drove the bone back into the socket, and at once restored the patient to convalescence and the use of bis disabled member."

The nnval of Wheat this morninar was very moderate, and the quality being on the whole indifferent, the few fine sam- ples that appeared met n ready sale on rather better terms than this d » y se'miight, but without improvement in the middling and ordinary sorts. Barley fully supports enr last, quotation, as also old Beans bot new are a trifle cheaper, nnd Pease of both sorts sell on quite as good terms. We are scantily supplied with Oats at present, nnd tha trade 011 the whole is rather dearer, though without any briskness in the snles. Floor continues nt onr last quotation.
