Tho publication of oar first Numbers de- mands from us an explanation of the motives iwl. ii- Si Inreinilaced n* In embark in the present undertaking. and of l! ic lin- s » f conduct we [ intend tn pursue in its progress; and alt'* ingh yi the former ha* been detailed at some length in ; tbo Prospectus which we have already sub- ! mitted, it may not l » e foreign to onr pages to J enter into a recapitulation of tlicm at the present | moment. And here we might inlrcnch our- ' tckes under tiiat general avidity for Literature which pervades ail claw.- of socicty, visiting . nlike the cottage of the Peasant and the palace • of the Prince, ( fid not other and more local i motives come to our assistance. Amid the stu- pendous and still increasing riso of litcratnre, and of periodical publications in particular, which forms one of the chief characteristic* the present age, it must have occurred to any a reflecting mind ns a matter of surprise fond been contemplated with regret, that so large a population as the CINQUE POUTS pos- sess, should bo without a Jonrnal primarily . devoted to their interests, the register of their internal occurrences and the guardian of their J various privileges. What these privileges • are, from whom and in what manner obtained, ; and by what means circumscribed or lost, | must have been a subject of the greatest j importance in every ago, and yet it is a plain matter of fact, that till the present moment no attempt has been made or plan r suggested, which by noting down from time to • timo " each moment as it flics**, might invite to the protection of those privileges when openly Assailed, or prompt to their assertion, f hen either a careless or timid acquiescence in any measure likely to endanger them might form a precedent for their annihilation. To accomplish those pnrposes, would we tru « t he sufficient lo warrant our design, but general ntility is not wanting as a further incitement. Inn Maritime and Commercial, no less than n Political point of view, the importance of the CINQUE PORTS cannot be denied; these very advantages first procured for them rights and privileges peculiarly their own, and so long as commerce shall waft its immense and varied treasures from all parts of the World ftlonf. the British Channel, such importance must continue; nay more, the very existence of an opposite Continent stamps them as one of the most important bulwarks of ( Jreal Britain. Thus situated and thus important they ' jrcome an object of the deepest interest to no small a proportion of the Inhabitants of the British Dominions, The Statesman be- holds in them the Channel whence proceeds his varied diplomatic correspondence; To the Merchant they perhaps for the first time during a long and anxious period, convey the pleasing prospect of his long expected treasures in a fair passage to their ultimate destination, or with no loss interest, though of a different natnrc, astound him with the heart rending intelligence of his frail bark consigned to the bosom of tho unpitying deep; while to tlio fashionable world and the public at large they present an ever varying scene, and constant succcssion of events which nover fail to gratify the eye, and engage the attention. Firmly convinced therefore, that the path is fairly open, which if properly beaten cannot fail of proving acceptable to the public in general) wo have rcntnred to enter into it, and in so doing are well aware of the im- portance of the attempt, and the difficulties we shall have to encounter in our progress. Appealing however with the utmost confidence tt> the candour and generosity of impartial and liberal criticism, we proceed to enumerate n few of the leading point*, on which we • olicit for tho CINQUE PORTS HERALD, that patronage and encouragement, w i . it shall ever be our endeavour to deserve. With respect to political matters we shall merely remark that we shall reserve to cnrschcs the undoubted right of every Englishman. t « > weigh in an impartial balance the passing went-, in the grrat theatre of r litical life, fearlessly icndcriu^ to all, whuloiav be t:.- thc result of oar dispassionate consideration. It will be our aim to support by every means in our power tho privileges of the CINQUE PORTS collectively and individually, and to this end wo shall weekly lay before our readers a correct and faithful detail of their internal occurrences, and of every event in any way connected with them. The shipping interests will # f course, from our locality, engage our pcouliar attention and in this department, it will be our study to hold up to public encouragement those intrepid exertions, which, fearless of impending danger form so noble a characteristic of tho British seaman : and to compriso every other maritimo occurrence, which can be interesting to the commercial or curious reader. To our advertising Friends, and to any in- dividual occasional correspondence with which wc may be favoured, wo shall ever be ready to pay prompt aud diligent attention, and we pledge ourselves, that no cxpcnce shall be spared to render the CINQUE PORTS hERALD worthy of general approbation, and to comprise within its pages a mans of information af oncc useful, amusing, scientific, and instructive.

The Life an£ Ariminirtration of Cardhial Wei- aey. By John Gait, Esq. Tbird AddHfm, MIRAMICHI, EXTrACT of A leTTeR frOM CAPTAIn wALTOn of the shiP JAMES, TO his OWnerS, DATED MIRAMICHI, OCT. 11. " The north side of the Miramichi is now a heap of ashes. It is not ascertained to what extent the fire reaches ; some nay 80, some 200 miles back. For about 20 miles up and down the river nothing is seen but stacks of chimnies, they being built of stone, whereas the houses, whicb were of wood, are all burnt, and I am sorry say, a great number of men, women, and children, cattle, & c. My stower helped to bury 30 yesterday, in one small settlement: some they had to put into coffins with spades, so many as six in a coffin, according to the number of the family. Three ships are totally burnt— via. Canada, of North Shields, Concord, of Whitby, and Jane, of Alloa. The Canada was all loaded, the others were discharging ballast at tbe same heap as the James. The James was on fire at three different places, at three different times, but, thank God, we got it out before it got to any great height. We have our jib, mainmast, and trysail burnt. The fire- broke out abont eight in the evening, on the 7th instant, at the river side; all the after- noon we heard a roaring away to the northward of us, accompanied by smoke and soot, but no one supposed it would have been so instan- taneous for before we could distinguish any flames, the fire flakes came off the land on board thicker and faster than ever I saw a snow storm in my life; branches of trees, burning leaves and for the same distance up and down tha river already mentioned, and all at the Same instant., accompanied by a hurricane; it must have come through the woods at a great rate, for people who went up to see if they could see any thing like fire, could not, although the smoke was very thick ; they ran back as fast as they could, and before they got down two minutes, the fire was at their heels. Those that escaped owed their preservation to running into the river up to their chins, and keeping their .. f heads constantly wet. Many children who were in bed were snatched up by their mothers and carried down to the river; but before they got them down, their shirts had caught fire, which were torn off. In this state they were lying on the beach, their parents keeping them conti- nually wet, the father with his hat, and the mother with her shoes. until morning, when they were taken on board the shipping. I have now a family on board— a man, Woman, and four children, who were in that state. 44 People who were in the woods, as far as can be heard, were dreadfully off. Whole camps of men, from ten to forty in a Camp, who were gone for the winter to make timber, are consumed, together with the cattle. People arc coming in, some have lost a wife and chil- dren— some more some less, some naked and burnt. One woman, in particular, finding the fire too hot for her to bear, as she was running with her two children, laid down and lay upon them. She Is burnt from her heels to the crown oh, that not a bit of flesh is on her back, tho children not hurt; she still lives but in great agony. Some who got Into boats were upset and drowned. Gilmore and Rankin's stores are all burnt, except about 70 barrels of pork. Mr. Abraham is all burnt down. I sent • my carpenter wiy, I would be happy to see them on board, should they think proper. Mrs. Abrahams said, for4t for God's sake take them somewhere." Tho carpenter went into the house to take them; the clitldrnu were taken out of bed in blankets; aud Mrs. Abrahams without a bonnet, with eight children, were comihg to the ship, when the fire met them in the face like a furnace: they were obliged lo return. By that time the house was all in flames; they then made for a small schooner which lay at the wharf, and my cook, who had gone with them, got bis hands burnt; one of his fingers has since been cut off." ( From the Greenock Advertiser, Nov. 19) Several vessels have arrived in the Clyde since our last, tho whole of which left New Bruns- wick since the conflagration ; In one of them a gentleman came passenger, to whom we are indebted for tho following Information :— he says, that the setting in of the heavy rains, and latterly, of snow, had put a period to the fire in the woods. Of the conflagration on the 7th Octo- ber, to which he was an eyewitness, it is im- possiblosfor language to convey an adequate picture. from this intelligent Individual wo have been favoured with the following informa- tion this, with the particulars already given It is to be hoped will be acceptable. he states, that a custom prevails in New Brunswick of burning tho woods for the purpose of clearing. The last season being particnlarly dry, advan- tage was taken of universally firing the lands to be cleared, and thus, from tbe month of May through the whole season, tho woods wero al- ways more or on fire in various parts. In its progress, damage, more or less, was done at interval times; but as long as the sap was in the trees its effect WAS only partial; in the end of September and begining of October, it ap- peared to be very general npon all sides of the Miramichi, and even along the coast, south by Richihueto, and north by the coast of Chaleur to the Ristigouche. the Circuit Court of Justice WAS at this time sitting at Newcastle Court House, and only flnished their business at three o'clock on Friday, the 7th of October. Being at this time at Nelson, one mile and u half from the Court House, he observed about 4 o'clock a large cloud from the north of the Court House. This was the greatest cloud he had ever seen from fire, though he had seen at one time more than 400 houses burning. This cloud ascended perpendicularly, and was struck by a flash of lightning upon its westorn edge; at about four o'clock, it continued to rise and spread, and about 5 was in like manner struck by a flash of lightning npon its eastern edge. This was succeeded by extreme darkness and showers of hot ashes, ttll abont 0 o'clock, when tbe fire from tbe woods advanced south, to the river side, sweeping all before it in an instant, from the point of the S. W. westward to tho river Bartibog, npon the east, an extent of a- bout 10 miles, very few buildings escaping its ravages, it extended N. E. as far as the Ris- tigonche ( as far as Nathaniel Moire's), Mi milos from the latter, where houses of every description wore destroyed. He thinks tho houses burnt at Newcastle were about 72; llie number of stores he does not recollect. The loss of lives, report says, is about 300; these wore mostly in the second tier upon both sides of the river. There were also a few of 1 the timber- makers burned, but not so many as - it first stated. Hundreds of barrels of salmon were destroyed by the effects of the fire. Estimate of damage about 100,000!.' at a 1 rough calculation. In hay, about 1,000 stone, ; which," at this season of the year, cannot be re- placed ; the consequence is, that the principal timber- makers must reduce the number of their ; hauling cattle; another result IS, less timber will be made than usual. The damage done to standing timber i con- siderable, and also to some already made; as to the future supply, the present damage will not materially affect i » . Wherever there was a belt or screen of hard wood, the progress of the fire was arrested. the great majority of the sufferers, especially the small settlers, are emigrants from Ireland. • I Theatre Dover On MO N DAY Evening, November 28, The romantic Drama of P RESUMPTION; with a variety of ether Etitfertahimontst On TUESDAY Evening Of the first time, the Grand Romantic Drama of FAUSTUS. be Theatre will be open every Night during the Fair.

GEORGE TOWN.— A Court of Admiralty was held at George Town on the 11th OcL when John Furguson late a Surgeon at Demerara was charged with feloniously conveying away several Slaves from his Britannic Majesty's Do- minions in Guiana to Nicarie under the sove- reignty of the King of the Netherlands. The Jury found him guilty on the four last counts of the indictment, to which a minor punish- ment was attached, but recommended him to mercy. The Court after observing that the re- commendation should be transmitted to the proper authorities, sentenced the prisoner " to be confined in the common gaol for the space of 3 years, and kept to hard labour." The Rev. Mr AUSTIN who, it will be re membered, was lately the editor of the Colonist newspaper at Demerara, which was somewhat unceremoniously suppressed, is about to re- sume his labours at Barbadoes, where the Colonist will rise like a Phoenix from its moul- dering ashes.

OCT. 5.— On Saturday this town wa » visited by a sudden and extraordinary hurricane, of not more than half a minute in duration. Its progress can be traced through the centre of the island. The first building that met its fury was the poor's honse, which was shaken to its foundation. The inmates providentially escaped unhurt. The whirlwind then proceeded about N- W. destroying the walls, houses and trees until it reached the corner of Union and Shirley streets, where it destroyed several small houses, tore off part of the roof of Mr. W. Chrisholm's house, and levelled his oat- houses, and the walls and tiees in that neighbourhood. From this corner it proceeded north, down Union gtreet to the harbour, destroying and injuring many houses and oat- buildings, one of the largest of which, flint of Mr. John Minns, suffered serio « s damage, ai well as his out- buildings. The next large house destroyed was the tw « story house at the corner of this street and J3tty • treet, belonging to Mr. G. C. Roker, and H the eastward of this were some stores belonging to Mr. G.

PHILIDELPHIA, Oct. 28.— Yesterday after- noon, the fine ship of 2000 tt> ns, built for Hen- ry Eckford, Esq. of N. York, was launched from the ship yard occupied by Bowers, Tees, Vandusen and Co. At about twenty minrtes past 2 o'clock, she gracefully and majestically glided from the cradle of her birth, into her destined element The ship is a fine one, and is built for 60 guns. We regret to learn that the builders will not realise profit by the con- struction of the vessel— since they made the contract the price of timber has inereased greatly. We are sorry to add, that several ae- cidonts of a very a serious nature occurred. One maa fell from a scaffold aird broke his back. There was a slight sensation of life, when he was carried to the Hospital ou a set- tee Another man broke his arm by a fall from a tree, and a boy was killed by the kick of a horse. A sail boat containing four persons was upset— they clung to the boat until they were taken off by several persons, who hu- manely wont to their assistance. Indeed from the number of horses, carriagee and men jam- med together it is miraculous that no more se- rious incidents took place. Palermo, Oct. 17. — A man named Ignario Roberto, of Troina in Sicily, has invented a machine with which ships may be moved by hand, instead of the dangerous Steam- engines. Three persons, one of whom works an hour and rests himself two, are sufficient to more a vessel of 20 tons ( 400,000lb « .) and so in proportion for larger vessels. The expence of the: machine is from 600 to 1000 ducats. He affirms that he haa made repeated trials of it: he offers to apply it it any vessel for which it may be required, and indemnify the proprietor for the first two trials if he machine should not act satisfactorily. The Buenos Ayres mail of yesterday brought bills from Chile to the amount required to pay the next dividend on the loan negotiated in London. I his punctuality will not much invalidate the arguments of those who contend against all South American loans, since it appears to be owing to a peculiar arrangement. A private letter from Santiago de Chile, dated August 19, say » —" The Company formed here who have undertaken to pay the interest on the English Loan, for ten years, or. t of the produce of the monopoly of certain duties, granted them by the Congress, have been buj iiig up bills here lately, to remit to England for ti^ e dividends— so that John Bull will begin now to see the colour of our money." Barbadoes papers to the 24th of September were received on Saturday. A public meeting was held on the 23d in Bridge- town, pursuant to public advertisement, to ascertain tne sense of the community in regard to the support of a daily paper, to be established in London, in defence of the colonics generally. At this meeting certain resolutions in promotion of that object were passed, and a subscription list was opened, the amount of which would determine the final execution of the project.— A smart shock of an earth- quake " a* felt in" Barbadoes on the 20th of September, but no injury followed.

The appearance of tht Money markets yesterday were gloomy beyond auy thing that we have before seen, even in these gloomy times. The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank had aa interview, at their own request, and by appointment, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and no doubt is entertained in the City that the meeting has arisen ont of the diffi- culties ia which the bank is at present involved. It w believed that the principal object of the Governor ami Deputy Governor has been to state, that if the periodical calling in of Exche- quer Bills shall take place as usual, at the ter- mination of this quarter, and if the decline of those securities to a discount, which has already Wiken place, shoald lead, on the part of tlie pub- lic, to a large demand for money, instead of new bills, that the Bank Directors, in that case, will not have it hi their power to supply the Minister with the funds that may be requisite lor that pur- pose. It is further said, that they require of the Minister, at as early a period as may be practi- ttablc, a repayment of a part at least, of the ad- vances made by them on deposing of Exchequer Bills. the attention of University of Oxford has been drawn to the subject of bull baiting, in conse- quence of tho late baiting which took place within a few miles of that city, when a monster in human shape tore from the root the tongue of his pitiable victim, and handed it about the ring! In consequence of this barbarity, it is said that a petition to Parliament is now in pre- paration, prayiag that bear- baiting, badger- bait- ing, dog- fighting, and similar cruel sports may be prohibited. CAuTIOn TO BANKERS AND TRADESMEN.— Somcthiag more than a year ago a parcel of Baak of England Notes was stolen from the porter of Messrs. Snow and Paul in London, and the particulars of tho notes were at that time made public; bnt an interval of so many moaths having thrown even cautious people off their guard, some persons, no doubt di- rectly or indirectly concerned in the robbery, have takes advantage of the bustle of the Don- - fcaater Haces and the Yorkshire Festival to pnsl) the stolen property into circulation to a considerable amount. At Doncaster nearly 10001. at York 5001. and at Scarborough 2001. have been paid, and the holders of the notes have no clue whatever to the persons of whom tbey wero receivod. Messrs Snow and Co. havo commenced actions against some if not against all tho unfortunate holders of these notes, and it is verv probnble that they will re- cover tho valuo of tho notes in each case, as thoy are supported by decisions on cases of a . similar nature.— Leeds Intelligencer.

To Correspondents. We duly received Peppercorn's correspondence, whidi scarcely comes within the pale of friendly epistles. We were fully aware of every thing he pointed out long before his letter reached us— but too late to remedy the evils. An accident detailed in the paper, and other in- conveniences attending a first publication, would have furnished an apology to many a one that would write us a Letter " purely out of friendship."

DOVER, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27th, 1825. THTS advocates of the grand question of Catholic Emancipation are endeavouring in a somewhat singular manner to accomplish their avowed object, bnt how it is to effect it we are at a loss to conceive. Associations are forming in countries, which cannot have, or at least ought not to have, the slightest concern ia the affairs of the United Kingdom, whose declared intention is to separate the sister kingdom by revolutionary means from the sovereignty of these dominions, and to abo- lish the Protestant Church. It would puz- zle the most scrntinous observer to discover what right the American continent or the Netherlands can have to interfere in the in- ternal policy of this kingdom, and yet such is the ea.' Kf, for a society has beeji instituted at New York for that express purpose, and the new Catholic Association beaded by Mr. O'Connel, Is endeavouring to excite to the like purpose in the Netherlands. These measures are only important, as they show that their originators have some other object in view, than the mere removal of their political' disabilities. No one in his senses can suppose that, unless actuated by some other motives they would have recourse to the measures they are now pursuing, which far from hastening cannot fail to pro- tract the granting of their claims for eman- cipation and to incite against them tbe'indig- nation of every honest well wisher to his country. If the granting of those claims were their sole object, they would rest tht ir cause upon its own merits without appealing to the sympathy of foreign countries. Such conduct, coupled with the dari.- jgand threat- ening speeches of many of their leaders, can leave no doubt on the mind of any unpreju- diced person, as to what their real wishes are directed, and that they would excite even to bloodshed and rebellion for their accom- plishment. May those who would unsheath the sword, be the first to fall beneath it! Far however from thinking that these machinations, will lead to such results, we believe the great majority . ofthe Irish Catho- lics have too much good sense to be turned aside from the path of honour and of duty to that of open rebellion, by any such extrava- gant and chimeric d projects. They have too long entrusted their cause to persons of whose discretion and moderation they have lately been furnished with such a continuity of proofs, which will, we trust, ere long open I heir eyes and lead them to tperceive that their interest instead of having gained ground, have retrograded, under their direc- tion. The indignant voice of every Protes- tant in the kingdom, and of many of their own religion also, has unhesita'ingly con- demned the proceedings of those under whose guidance they have placed themselves, and their chance of relief has by their intem- perate conduct been removed much farther from their reach, than bnt a very short time since they had raeson to expect. We have been favored with George Town Papers and New York Papers up to the 29th of October. At George Town they seemed to be quiet, and free from contagion, but breathing a dis- satisfied spirit towards the countenance which, the " Saints," as they designato them, have ob- tained in England: and are taking steps to establish a Daily London Paper, by subscription, as a champion of their cause. There is nothing of political importance from New York. Improvements [ in water and land carriage occupy a prominent portion of their attention. The Eries Canal is opened, and was celebrated with a splendid fete: the moment of junction being announced by the sound of cannon, along a tract of country, in all amounting to 1000 miles, in the space of little more than an hour. The people of Ohio are proposing to commence another Herculean undertaking, in a Rail Road from the Columbus feeder, through the counties of Delaware, Marion, Crawford, Seneca, and Sandusky.

TRADE AnD COmmerce, The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honour.— die Privy Connc- il have been pleased to per- ' rnit merchants to fake tbr fruit out of any ves- i sel that may arrive and be liable to quaran- I tine, before hor release therefrom, upon the pre- - duction of an unquestionable clean bill of health, and proper proof by the master that no sickncss prevailed on board since the ves- sel's departure from her port of lading, or that she had communication with any place or ves- sel liable to suspicion during her voyage. We think it important to dircct the atten- tion of ship owners, who? e vessels were regis- tered . previous to the 1st of January 1824, and who have not obtained certificates do ' novo since that period, that unless snch registers are made before tlx; 1st January 1026, their vessel will not bo entitled to any clearance for mercantile employment as British ships, and will be subject to forfeiture if found exercis- ing the privileges of such.

Monday, the Earl'of Liverpool held a Harbour Session at Dover ; and it na, s understood tli. it an order haa passed the Board for the immediate j erection of jetties in front of the Marine Parade, I to protect the new- built houses from an en- croachment of the sea. It being in contemplation to establish a Mechanic's Insti- tution in Dover, the Committee of the Canterbury fan ' J:. T, A Harbour Board was held by Lord Liver- pool on Monday last, wiijch conlioutul silting nearly six honrs. We are glad to learn that the Board directed Six Jetties to be imme- diately put down along the Bay, for the better preservation of the new houses and terrace on the Marine Parade. We were gratified also learn that the Board have it in contemplation, inconsequence of the great spirit which now prevails for building in Dover, to allot more land for that purpose. The Board, wo understand, . unanimously voted 100 guineas to Mr. Moon, our Harbour Master, as a mark of the sense they entained of his valuable services in per-,, fecting the Dry Dock. This is done by an invention wholly his own, which simple and most completely successful, has been attended with little comparative expence, and the Har- bour was thus saved many thousand pounds, which would have been required to carry into effect the plans of the late Mr. Rennie and others, for making the Dock complete. We lament that Mr. Moon's disinterestedness, and his eagerness to put the public in possession of his discovery, by sending full details of . it to the Mechanic's Magazine, deprived him of the large gold medal, which the Society of Arts would otherwise have presented him with. A most handsome letter was written to him by the Secretary of the Board, wherein great regret is expressed, that by their rule of not bestowing their medals, after making public an invention, they were deprived of bestowing on him their large gold medal, which they considered his valuable and ingenious inven- tion justly intitled him. OGLE CASTLE'S CARGO.— This was a case of Salvage which came on the 25th instant, before John Shipdem. Esq. Surrogate of the Cinque Ports Admiralty Court, and it is interesting Irom the novelty of the decision, in decreeing to the Salvors a proportion in kind ot the cargo, instead of a proportion of the appraised value. The salvors, nearly 100 in number, had picked up at sea, a long distance from the land, about 300 bags of cotton, some bales of silk, and other articles, which they had delivered to the Lord Warden's Officers, and which were claimed by the Consignees, subject to salvage. The Surrogate in pronouncing judgment, ad- verted to the great exertion of the salvors. J which he stated to be highly meritorious, and to have been in several instances attended with great personal danger, a gale of wind blowing with a tremendous neavy sea running, insomuch that several of the boats' crews were obliged for the preservation of their lives, to throw over board what they had picked up. The Surrogate taking the whole of the circumstances into con- sideration, and the difficulty, from the bulky nature of the goods, of saving them, and their small comparative value, decreed that salvage expences should first be raised by a sale of a sufficient part of the goods, and that a moiety of the remainder should go to the salvors. David Knowles, master and owner, of a vessel called the Hope, of this Port; which trades from Ca- keting vessel, with eggs, poultry, game, & c. being at Calais on Sunday, the 13th inst., and in the evening about 10 o'clock, on his going into the street from liis. ltKlgings, he was seized upon by five Frenchmen, who knocked him down, trode upon him, cut his head and fact, and very much injured other parts of his body. Two of his companions who were in the house, hearing a noise and a faint cry of murder, which they thought must be Knowle's Voice, ran out and found five persons trampling upon and beating Knowles, whom they had got down, when perceiving they were discovered, ran off, but Gasson ( one of Knowles's companions) caught one, who was secured for the night, and on the following morning, being taken before the Commissary of Police, he gave the names of his four associates, who « or- very soon after arrested, and all five committed to prison to wait the decision of a Court of Justice. Knowles, when found by Gasson, was quite insensible to what had taken place, and only remem- bered that just as he bad got without the door of his lodg- ings, he saw four or five persons, who, without one word bt ingsaid, or the least provocation whatever, knocked him down and jumped upon him, and being completely stunned, lie h » t all recollection of what afterwards took place. Me : t otherwise account for ( his murderous attack, than by supposing that the parties knew that he was in the habit of ying about him the money with which he makes pur- ses, and which was their object to get from him— he had when attacked 137/. in his pocket, but fortunately by the timely aid given by Gasson, they were disappointed of the booty. It is but justice to state that the Police of Calais gave every facility for the apprehension of the offenders, and to the actual exertion of the Commissary and bis officers, the discovery of the runaways and their early arrest may at attributed. OVER THEATRICALS.— On Mondiy evening last, the tleman Amateur, who performed on Mr. Southey's ifit, repeated the part of Sir Peter Teazle, in Sheridan's Comedy of School for Scandal', but we arc sorry to say he played to thin benches. The piny was well got up, and might " well have met the glance of a fashionable audience. admire industry in an actor, but we would recommend that industry to be directed to the study of his author, and give to us the text, and the text only. It would take more industry than most actor's are gifted with, to improve on Sheridan's Comedy; we allude to some liberties tliat were taken, which were trifling it is true, but, triliin" as they were, it reminded us of the sound of a brass candlestick, brought iu competition with the sonorous tones of bell- metal. The hit in the auction is not a lucky one. During the week several pieces have been produced, accor- ding with the viciated taste of the times for spectacles fairy' pieces— a taste which has almost rc- dij a state of dotage, while it does little ... v ^ Sc economy for the Managers. Mr. Paul lias, in catering these morsels, spared no cxpence— they are superbly pro- duced, the scenery beautiful, and the dresses and decoratit ns costly.' wncercly regret to see him so ill rewarded for his labour, by the bye, we would good naturedly drop a hint or two which we hope will be taken in good part by nil whom it may concern. Carelessness of stage- keepers or those whose duty it is to clear the stage, spoiling the effect 0f at' a scene by the mismanagement of chairs and tables, is scarcely equalled by dancing out of time and carelessly running the figure of a reel A leader of a band, if conve- nient, might tune his instrument before coming into the orchestra: And a prompter need not speak too loud.

Mr. Miller's Concert took place at the Assembly Rooms, on Tuesday evening last, uuder the patronage of the Rev. J. B. Back- house, and the ReV. Montague Pennington, and under the superintendance of Mr. Matson, from Ashford.— The company was by no means numerous, but very select, in number about 130, — Mm Longhurst, from Canterbury, and Mr. Beckwith, from the Dover Theatre, were an- nounced as the principal vocal performers ; the former was unavoidably absent by severe indis- position, and whose absence was universally regrcted, the more particularly as the lady ( Miss Dobie, from the Dover Theatre) engaged to supply the vacancy was, to say the best of her, any thing but a good substitute. The or- chestra was numerous, consisting of several members of ( he Canterbury catch- club, Messrs Matson and Fowler from Ashford, and others; the overtures were exceedingly well executed, and reflect great credit upon the whole of the performers, particularly the overture to Der Frieschutz, which was very deservedly encored, and it is but justice to Mr- Matson, who eon- ducted the concert, to say that he acquitted himself with credit; and that Mr. Beckwith gave universal satisfaction, he gave bis two songs in bis nsual scientific style, but a little of that long out- stretched cadence could have been dispensed wfth, particularly in " Isabel" wlierp the originality and simplicity of this beautiful and pathetic Serenade were com- pletely destroyed ; tbe glees were sung by Messrs. Beckwith, Elvey, and Nicholson, and on the whole were not equal to expectation ; Sleep gentle Lady" and the fine old glee, " Roderick Vich Alpine were however well executed and well received; the voices, it would seem, were not well matched— Mr Bcckwith, although a superior singer, has not a voice calculated for glee singing, there is that peculiarity in it that it does not harmo- nize or blend, as it were, with the other voices. It is to be regretted that so many instruments were engaged in the fine chorus of " The Chough and the Crow," they were evidently too powerful, in fact the voices were drowned. It has long been matter of surprise, that, with those Canterbury gentlemen, who are acknow- ledged good glee- singers, and forming part of the first institutions in the kingdom, nothing like NOVELTY should ever appear in their selec- tions, for whenever the Canterbury Catch- club is announced as about to treat their jhbours with a selection of glees, these old ditties, ( sterling good ones certainly,) are sure to be found in the bill of fare. The celebrated hunting chorus in Der Fries- chutz was encored, but it must have been from its name only, however by a little judicious alteration in the arrangement of the parts, it was well sung the second time, and was rap- turously applauded. Mr. Harrison, ( from Canterbury,) delighted the company with bis performance on the violoncollo, ( aeeompanicd in a very neat and pleasing style on the Piano- forte by Mr. Elvey,) which was greeted with plaudits. The Trio of flutes could have been dispensed with, it was but a hurried and clumsy perfor- mance, nothing like tone or neatness was ob- served by either throughout, but, to Use the language of a naval gentleman present, " they kept blazing away till they brought up." The Concert on the whole was well received, and the evening concluded, ( at the request of several Ladies present,) with a Quadrille, and the company retired soon after 11 o'clock.

Sir,— An erroneous statement having appeared in the Kent Herald of Thursday last relative to the death of one of the Footmen in the service of the Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, 1 beg leave to send you for the information of the public, the following statement of the facts. The circumstances were these, William Hawkins, the Cook, had in the morning cleaned his own fowling- piece, and placed it carefully ( which he had been in the habit of doing the short time he had been possessed of it) inn press in the bed- room of himself and Christopher West, the first footman— Hawkins it appears was absent the greater part of the day, and Gamekeeper in his absence, observed a snipe he wished shot, requested to have Hawkin's fowling- piece, which was immediately procured and loaded, but before he could fire, the bird was on the wing. The Game- keeper however left the charge undrawn, and John White, another of the footmen, returned the gun in that state to the press, from which he had taken it. Hawkins, ignorant of that fact, and in full presuasion that the piece was In the state he had left it in the morning, on retiring to his bed room with his fellow servant, took up the piece, pulled the trigger, and discharged the shots iu the lower part of the chin of West. On the medical examination, the shots were found to have passed onward to the second or third vertebra* of the neck, ana thereby caused instantaneous death. The agressor, in a state of great agony, caused the fact to be made known to the butler. A surgeon was immediately sent for, and on his arrival, declared life extinct. It should be added that the two servants had lived toge- ther six years, in the most perfect harmony, a virtue pre- vailing throughout the establishment, and iu which, it is said, his Lordship has for years been singularly fortunate. After a long investigation, the Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. 1 am. Sir, your verv obedient servant, GEORGE GARRETT. Sandwich, Nov. 23, 1826- the unfortunate young man was interred yesterday in the Church- yard of Walmer; the funeral was attended by the upper servants of his Lordship's establishment.— ED. On Friday and Saturday upwards of 100 sail of vessels of different denominations, went ou. of Ramsgate harbour, bound to the westwardt Among the number was a large Swedish brig, the North Pole, the Captain of which, a fine healthy man at the age of eighty years, says he has a father living and well, in Sweden, at the great age of one hundred and thirty two years, and also a mother " living and well, at the age of one hundred and twenty- two years. RAMSGATE, NOV. 25.— i he improvements of Ramsgate are likely to add to its celebrity. A beautiful crescent on the west Cliff is rapidly forming. The scite on which these new houses are building, is truly ad- mirable: they are to open on a lawn commanding a line view of the Downs and coast of France; each is to have a | principal entry in front and another entry bv the back. Ground has been laid out for a new range c- f buildings on l he- kst- iand side at the entrance to tlr. town fiomU - Lon- don read, and many more improvements are in anticipation. We are unavoidably necessitated lo omit till our next the list of fashionable arrivals annexed toj. ie above, by correspondent.* Town Hall.— Thomas Browning of Minster, who had only been discharged from prison one day, was committed by the Rev.

An Inquest was heltf at Sandgate on Thursday last, the 24th instant, before Thomas Thorpe De LasauX. Esq. Coroner, on the body of Thomas Page, who. on the evening, of the I3th instant, was stabbed iu the lower part of the abdomen, by John Burton. It appeared on the evidence, that the deceased with some other young men, were on the evening in question, at the Ship Inn, Sandgatc, and being a little inebriated, the de- ceased blackened his hands alid put them on Burton's face who immediately flew in a rage and threatened to be a match for him. The deceased wishing to avoid him for the present, left the room, but shortly afterwards returned, and while in the act of lighting his pipe, Burton attacked him, with a knife in his hand, a scuffle ensued, Page called for help to take the knife away, which was done by Mr. Flisher. Page esc aimed, " Oh, Lord! 1 am stabbed— this d--- d old rascal has stabbed me." He immediately fell, and lingered till Wednesday last. After a very minute in- vestigation, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Burton, who was immediately - committed under the Coroner's warrant for trial at the next Assizes. The deceased, who was 24 years of age, was very highly respected, and his tragical end has thrown a gloom over the whole neighbourhood. Five persons have died at Hythe, within the last month, whose united ages amount to 425 years. The Gentlemen named in our last, to whom the Freedom of Sandwich has been offered, in return for their exertions n favor of the New Harbour and Stour Navigation, are in- cited there on Tuesday next, when the ceremony of pre- sentation will take place, and the day will be concluded with festivity.

On Friday last, an exciseman of the name of Williams, coming down Wrotham- hill, in this county, passed a horse and cart, driven by a man iu a round frock. His suspicion awakened by perceiving that the name on the cart was nearly effaced, although the cart was nearly a new one. He accordingly attempted to stop it, but was opposed by tho * ' er. who said he was a butcher, and had only rotten mut- ton in his cart for the - London Market. Williams, how- ', calling a road mender to his assistance,/ overpowered man: when he found smuggled silks to the value of 500/. which he seized, wiih the man, horse, and cart. It is with pleasure we learn, that the friends of the Canterbury Philosophical and Literary Institution are exerting themselves to form a collection of British Birds. The Arden major, or Heron; the Strix flammea, or Barn Owl; the Falco buteo, or Buzzard ; and the Alcedo ispida, or King Fisher have been presented by Mr. Weeks, surgeon of Sandwich, and are now prepared for the glass case. As many gentle- men have promised assistance, it is hoped during the winter, that a considerable collection will be obtained; few subjects can be more interesting in n museum than the specimens of Ornithology : and as it is intended to arrange them according to their natural affinities, while the scientific will be able to study with facility, the public gene- rally, will at one glance, see the various produc- tions of our own country, in this interesting branch of Natural History.— We need scarcely add, that the presentation of curious birds will be highly acceptable; and we hope, that such of our readers as may possess or shoot rare spe- cimens, will enrich by their gifts, this depart- ment of the Museum. We are informed the Collector of the Hop Duty for this district, has received orders from the Board of Excise to proceed forthwith iu the collection of all outstanding Duties on Hops, the growth of 1824. Robert Southee, of Canterbury, gentleman, has been admitted and sworn an Attorney of Las Majesty's Courts of King's Bench, and Common Pleas at Westminster.

Windsor, Nor. 23.— Yesterday afternoon his Majesty en- joyed nearly three hours driving about the Great Park in his pony phaeton, during which time he visited Virginia Water, Sandpit Gate, and, Cranbuurn Lodge, where altera, tions are making under his Majesty's superintendances which serve to occupy his attention during his airings. Hi Majesty, as usuai, was accompanied by the Lord Steward, and attended by two out- riders, and we are happy to state he continues in the enjoyment of health and spirits. His Majesty took his departure from the Royal Lodge this after- noon in his pony pnaeton, for an airing in tbe Great Park at two o'clock. The weather being cold, his Jlfajesty takes the precaution of being thickly coated when out of doors. There is no alteration at the Royal Lodge, nor any thing au- thentic respecting either his 3/ ajesty's stay or departure for London, but it is generally'expected that his'Majesty passthe Christmas, as last year, in the Great Park, and go to London In January, for a month or six weeks.— Tbe Prin- cess Augusta took an airing yesterday, attended by her Lady in Waiting. A few mornings ago a printed check was presented by boy at the banking- house of Messrs. Everett and Co. It was filled up in French in the following terms: " Payez Madame Williams deux baissers pour la nuit agreecable qui jai passe avec clle." The clerk who received the check told the boy that the Lady must appear herself to rei the amount. On the next day there came to the banking- house a very smart young girl, who testified great surprise and indignation upon being informed ot the nature of the value she was to receive. She stated that the person who presented her with the check represented himself to be foreigner of wealth and distinction, and that he banked Messrs. Everett and Co.' s. He certainly spoke a foreign language; . but now that she considered all that took place, she beheveSfcim to be an Irishman. Mr. J. G. Lockart, the son- in- law of Sir Walter Scott, sometime the reputed Editor of Blackwood's Magazi leaves the Scottish bar for London, to be there Editor of the Quarterly Revieiv, and to hold a place under government vice Mr. Stewart Rose, resigned. Funeral of Ihe unfortunate Samuel Crook.— Yesterday afternoon, in conformity with the dying wish of this ill- fated yr. uth to the Rev. Mr. Isaac, his spiritual adviser, or the night before his execution, his body was interred in the burial ground of the Gloucester chapel, in the fields ai Hackney. - The funeral train consisted of the unhappy fa- ther and mother of the deceased, and the whole of h brothers and sisters, sis in number, followed byj at vast concourse of people, who all seemed to lament bis untimely end. The funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Isaac, from the 40tli chap, of Isaiah, and the first and second verses, which had been selected by the unfortunate youth ; atid a tomb- stone to his memory is to be erected over his grave.

There is a language none can speak, A voice no ei. r hath Heard, To which all human sounds arc weak, And feeble wisdom's word— A voice—- a language undesigned— To teach an inconsiderate mind! A rock, a tower, a ruined wall, Which witnessed in past time The scenes of pleasure, may recall The mysteries sublime Of conscious spirits, in the pride Of mutual fondness glorified. Who tint hath walked with one he loved Among the vallies green. Who on the sunny hills ha'th roved— But many a spot hath sceu. Which, visited in days of pain, Recalls the hours of joy again. The " thoughts that lie too deep for tears," May, by some wonclrous power, Ee called up in life's future years By gazing on a flower, Whose mute expression well can reach The soul— more eloquent than speech. Ye teachcrs of poetic art! Ye masters of the lyre! Say, can ye reach so soon the heart With all youf tones of fire. As the still voice of Time, which pleads From yon rude Tuin robed in weeds V Or look upon this garden fair Of verdant hill or vale ; Or gaze with rapturous gladness where Yon clouds, like navic- s, sail With light around them, o'er a sea Of azure softness scatteringly! The world— it is a'woi. drous book, Wherein are written plain Such characlers, tliat those who look Can ne'er forget again; More powerful than the sorcerer's scroll— The hieroglyphics of the soul! The laurel speaks of war and song; Thp rose betokens love; The lily, ' mid the gaudier throng That blossom in the grove, Of virtue tells, amidst the gay More pure, more beautiful than they. No bird that flies but with its voice Of praise to roan appeals; The iuw? ct calls us to rejoice In pleasure which it feels; And all that lives in air or earth May kindle love, and wake to mirth. remarks on the Progress of Steam Navigation. ( Concluded from our last.) The City of Edinburgh Steam Vessel, on a scale of still greater magnificence and grandeur than those mentioned in our last, was launched this year, and her track of navi- gation first proved the practicability of making a safe and expeditious passage by sieam upon the high seas, between the ports of Lo:. don aud Leith, a distance of about 400 miles. In the same year, the steam packet Tourist, ( then under the command of the writer of this article,) in out- running the mail coach by ten hours, in the distance between Edinburgh and Abeideen, induced government to adopt a quicker dispatch for the mail upon that road. Duriug the following year ( 1820) the James watt, another • very superb steam- packet, a vessel highly creditable to her engineer, and to the liberality which las always marked the proceedings of the Leith and London Joint Stock Corvpany, to which she beloDgs. The St. Patrick and St. George, " of Liverpool, were also soon afterwards built upon a similar scale of grandeur, under the able direction of Mr. William Laird. The Swift, of Leith, formerly a sailing smack, was, at this time, fitted up as steam- packet, and first opened the passage between Brighton and Ditppe in France; then came the Lord Melville and Talbot, between London and Rotterdam. Ferry- boats propelled by steam, and suited more immediately to local situation. 1!, were establislied about this time upon the Mersey, Tny, Forth, Severn, Humber, and other navigable rivers and arms of the sea. Since the year 1820, many other steam- vessels of various dimensions and power have been launched at different ports within the kingdom. From Hull, two of these sail twice a week for London; and the Post- office department employs steam for the conveyance of the mail, wLcrererit is found safe and practicable. The Sebo, surpassing all her pre- decessors iu magnitude, and in the elegancy of her accom- modations, has stamped an additional value on the facilities of intercourse between Loudon and Edinburgh. From former capital to Ramsgate and Calais, beautiful packets called the Lord Liverpool, and City of London, hare also been lately fitted out. Indeed, such is the avidity and enterprise in promoting this system, that few poits in United Kingdom will ere long be without one or more of these vessels. Government has also, latterly, attached to each of the dock- yards one or more steam- vessels, of t he most substantial build, and of great power, for towing ships of war out and into harbour; and thus, at the distance of nearly a century, arc we at this day only making use of one of the leading objects of the patent of Mr. J. Hulls. To a great maritime nation, where a ship, squadron, or fleet, may often be required to put hastily to sea, an esta- blishment of this kind must be of incalculable value for towing vessels out of the Medway, Portsmouth, and Ply- mouth. Nothing can be more necessary for the service, oi more desirable to the ardent spirits of the officers and crews' of his majesty's ships, when thwarted with contrary winds while impatient to meet an enemy, and therefore, even in a political point of view, steam navigation is calculated to prove a most valuable acquisition to the British navy. BENEFIT OF THE HIGH- PRESSURE ENGINE.— We have hitherto considered steam navigation as applicable only to commercial intercouree, and the secondary purposes of our naval marine. But America, which long since counted upwards of 300 steam vessels, classes several of that number among her men- of- war. In the event, therefore, of going to war with our trails- Atlantic friends, wc shall be obliged to meet them with their own weapons, by squirting hot water, throwing shots from one- bundred- pounders, and building ships with sides thirteen feet in thickness, composed of alternate layers of oak and cork, and fitted with rows of cutlasses and pikes made to project and recede by an impulse from the high- pressure engines which propel the vessels. It is to this last particular we now call the attention of our readers, as one that is calculated to give America a pre- ference over the mother- country, where the use of low pitssure engines only is admitted by law. The steam- vessels of the Americans must therefore excel those of the British in proportion to the power and efficiency of the re- peetive engines. Regarding these, we may remark, that the limited operation of low pressure steam arises from the application of the condensing principle, so that the engine seldom works with a greater pressure than- eight pounds upon the square inch of the piston. In the high- pressure engine, on the contrary, the steam is not condensed, but is allowed to accumulate its force, which is measured only L. y the opposing resistance of the work, and the strength of the boiler. Instead, therefore, of eight pounds to the square inch, it is not uncommon to work the high- pressure engine with a force equivalent to one hundred and fifty pounds; and some say that this may be augmented even to one thousand pounds upon the square inch. By the low- pressure engine, we not only lose power, but the apparatus occu- pies so much space iu the ship, and consumes so much fuel, as to render it very defective for the purposes of navigation. For example, if we take a steam- packet which is to be worked with the power of one hundred horses, no less than about forty- four fc- et of the length and breadth of the vessel is occupied for the engine and its fuel. TJie consequencc is, that in order to afford the necessary accommodation for goods and passengers, the British steam- vessel is built out of all just proportion, her port- charges, of every description, are thereby enhanced, and the difficulty of navigating these iarge and ill- proportioned vessels, in narrow fore- ways, i » greatly^' ncreajsed. Ou the other hand, with the high- pressure engine, only one half of the space is occupied, and a vessel of three hundred tons would do more work, and be every way better fitted for the purpose, tliau one of five EXPLANATION OK_ THE PrINcE REGENT'S CON- DUCT TO MR. SHERIDAN. ' When Mr. Sheridan w, as on his death- bed, he was visited by Mr. Taylor Vaughan, who found him in a situation, a rising from disease and poverty, that we caunot venture to describe. With feelings strongly excited, Mr. Vaughan hastened to Carlton House, and represented to Col. M'Ma- hon the scene which he had just witnessed, the Col. in- stantly went into the Prince Regent's apartment, and made his Royal Highness acquainted with what had been related. The Prince, who had not previously heard of Mr. Sheridan's illness desired that immediate pecuniary assistance should be conveyed to him, and named the sum of 5001, as a pre- sent relief. Col. M'Mahon communicated to Mr. Vaughan the Prince's commands : but Mr. V. said that so large a sum was altogether unnecessary in the first instance, and could only be prevailed upon to take 200/. promising to ask for the remainder when it was wanted. Part ol this sum he directly applied, and furnished his sick friend with all tliat could contribute to his comfort. Shortly afterwards, how ever, Mr. V. repaired again to Carlton House, and, to the amazement of Col. M'Mahon, returnet to him the whole ol the money which had been paid out of the Prince's pri- vy- purse ; stating, that Mr. Sheridan's friends had in- sisted on restoring it to the donor, as they were not willing, under existing circumstances, Mr. Sheridan should lay him- self under any obligations to the prince Regent.— We be lieve this statement to be authentic, and it will certainly not only place the affair in a light totally different from that in which it has been made to appear,; but shew in strong co- 1 urs the fine feeliugs of the Illustrious Personage whose goodness of heart, as evinced in this case, lias been BO wan- vonly called in question." [ This new version of the affair is given In the New Times of Saturday ; but we dare say that we shall hear more of a transaction that has been so much canvassed.]— i'ionr SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES.— Miss Wright, has displayed the merits of the American government so eloquently, in her " Letters of an Englishwoman," went to t'ne United States with General La FaytUe, accompanied by her sister. She remains there, and has eiterted hi most laudably in promoting plans for extirpating slavery, the one grand blot in a system otherwise of matchless purity and excellence. She has got a Joint Stock Company establislied for buying up the liberty of black children, which is already supported by a numerous list of subscribers. The children arc to be reared and educated at tlie expence of the society, and instructed in some species of industry by which they may afterwards be able to maintain them- selves. The plan merits the highest praise. To fit the blacks for the enjoyment of freedom, we must prevent the vices of servitude from being sown in their mindi. We must take the child and train him to orderly and virtuous habits, before oppression has lacerated his feelings and des- troyed his sense of right and wrong. The expense of rear- ing and instructing a child will indeed be something; but if the people take a large view of their own interest, they will find this method the cheapest in the end. Society may lose as much by the depredations of one idle and depraved individual as would train up half a dozen of children to ha- bits of order and industry. Miss Wright and her sister, w< understand, besides contributing money, take an active part in superintending the management of the emancipated chil- dren.— Scotsman. PUBLICITY OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.— A few days ago a petition was presented to the Lord Chancellor, praying that the legal father of two children might be restrained from taking them from the custocy of their natural parent being alleged that the legal father claimed them with the design of revenging himself on the mother ( from whom he had been. divorced) through the children. It appeared from two affidavits, that the legal father had declared that one of the children, a girl, could not be his, and stated that he had no doubt that the other, a boy, was not- bls; and it was further sworn, that he had expressed his determination to disinherit the boy, aud to put the girl into an Irish cabin until of an age for marriage, when he would marry her with a portion of one hundred pounds to any poor farmer. The Chancel- lor dismissed the petition, and when giving hi* reasons for doing so, referred to his judgment in the case of Mr. Shelley, stating that he abided by the doctrincs he bad laid down In that and another case respecting the grounds on which the Court would interfere with tlie rights of parents. His Lordship observed at the same time, that " if there was any care in which the public were more particularly interested in having the grounds upou which the Court proceeded fully / mnwn, it was in what related to tlie jurisdiction exercised against the acknowledged righU of parent*." It appear* however that the Lord Chancellor heard the matter in his private chamber, and it was consequently not reported. This certainly is a striking proof of the necessity, in all ju- dicial proceedings, of giving them publicity. THE PLAGUE.— During the plague of 1813, when all the English and the greater number of the native inhabi tants of Malta, were terrified and overcome with horror at this calamitous visitation, and each man, instead of ap- proaching his dying neighbour with relief or consolation, suffered him to expire in neglect and destitution, a great number of Jews, tempted with offers of reward, came down from Smyrna, where the plague is almost an annual visitor, and engaged to treat all the infected medically, on condition of receiving a certain 6um per head for as many as were cured. Their offer was acceptcd : they went boldly among the dying, where no one else woiild_ venture to accompany them. Tliey cured the greater number of those at Licked, and not one of their whole body was affected by the disease. Surely this could not have happened had the plague been highly cr even slightly contagious.— Oriental Herald, NEEDLE- WORK.—( From William Hone's " Every Day - Book,")— This word '• work" is significant of an employ- ; ment which astonishes men, and seems never to tire the fingers of their industrious helpmates and daughters; except that, with an expression which we are at a loss to take for either jest or earnest, because it partakes of each, they now and then exclaim, " women's work is never done!" The assertion is not exactly the fact, but it is not a great way from it. What " man of woman born" ever considered the quantity of niches iu asliirt without fear that a general mutiny among females might leave him." without a shirt to his back?" Cannot an ingenious spinster devise a seamless shirt, with its gussets, and wristbands, and collar, and salvages as durable as hemming? These enquiries are occasioned by the following letter from a Lady;—" To the Editor of the Every Bay Book.— Sir, 1 assure ycuthe Evenj Day Book is a great favorite among the ladies, and therefore I send for insertion a calculation, furnished me by a maiden aunt, of the number of stitches in a plain shirt made for her grandfather:— Stitching the collar, four rows, 3,000; 6ewing the ends, 600; button holes, and sewing on buttons, 150; sewing on the collar and gathering the neck, 1,201; stitching wristband, l, 22S; sewing the ends, 68 ; button- holes, 148; hemming the slits, 264; gathering the sleeves, 840; setting on wrist- bands, 1,4( 38; stiching shoulder- straps, three rows each, 1880; hemming the neck, < 390; sewing the sleeves, 2,554;' setting in sleeves and gussets, 3050; taping the sleeves, 1,526; sewing the seams, 848; tet ting side gussets, 424; hemming the bottom;. 1,104— Total number of stitches, 20,646 iu my aunt's grandfather's plain shirt, as witness my hand,— Gertrude Grizenhoofe.— Cottenbam, near Cambridge, Sept, 1825." A most interesting exhibition of the power of mental cal- culation took place on Monday evening at the meeting of the Scientific and Literary Society in Cork. Mr. Hall, Se- cretary to the Mechanics' Institute, introduced a boy to the notice of the members, of whom he gave the following ac- count:— His name is John Flyn, he was born on Michacl- mas- day, in the year 1814, and consequently has but lately completed his eleventh year; his father is a small shoema- ker residing at Blarney- lane, Cork, and has five other chil- dren, none of whom have given intimation of the same powers. This boy has for the hist four years been educated at the Monastery- school, and w; is considerably advanced in arithmetic, before his extraordinary power of mental calcu- lation manifested itself. Several questions were put to the boy by the members and others present, among whom lie created great astonishment by the readiness and correctness of his replies, leaving those who solved the same proposition on slates far behind. He cubed the figures ( 315), and re- peated every figure of each line of the process, and formed correctly the fifth root of a very large number which had been previously ascertained. He can raise any two figures to the fifth power; and iu money calculations he is truly wonderful, finding the interest or discount upon any sum for any number of days, and the number of any smaller suppositious coin that may be contained in any number of a laigor description. As nil illustration, the question was asked him— how many two shillings and eight pence half- penny pieces will make a 1,000 guineas'? which lie solved correctly in a quarter ofaminute by the watch of a " cnUe1 man present. At the conclusion this proposition was put: — Supposing there are present in this hall 34 ladies. 90 gentlemen, and 28 boys -- that the ladies were each to give you 5d., the gentlemen 4d., and the boys 3di, how much money should you receive? They boy was not long in solv- ing this question, though. not so quickly as the hint was adiipted by those present, who expressed the gratification they had received, by collecting for him the sum of 21. 9s. lOd. We trust that the powers thus early displayed by this boy may be turned to some useful and profitable account.— Irish paper. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Thursday, November 17. thE MARQUIS of HERTFORD •. The HON. AUGUSTUS STAnHOPe. The ATTORNey- GENeRAL moved the Court on the part of the Marquis of Hertford, to grant articles of the pence a- gainst the defendant, who i » the eon of the Earl of Harring- The Noble Marquis, who was on the bench, rwore to the affidavit upou which the motion was founded. The affida- vit stated, that the exhibitant having in 1816 been informed that the defendant invited to his quarters at Paris the exhi- bitant's son ( Lord Beauchamp), who was then only sixteen years of age, and that he there lost at play, iu a few hours, £. 16,000, for which he gave to the defendant two acknow- ledgements, one for £ S, 000 and upwards, and anothei fur £, 7000 and upwards, stated the facts to the Comman- der- in- chief of the Army of Occupation; and the de- fendant was tried by a Court- martial at Cambray, » nd dismissed the service, for having conducted himself in a manner unbecoming an Officer, inasmuch as he joined in a conspiracy to induce Lord Beauchamp to play. In conse- quence of this sentence, the exhibitant believed that the de- fendant indulged great enmity againsthim. The exhibitant had no communication with the defendant since tliis tram action until July, when be was grossly insnlted by the de- fendant in Hyde Park. Application was then made to Sir Richard Blrnie ; but in consequence of the defendant's hav- ing pledged his word of honor that he would not repeat the insult, and having repeated the pledge to his father, the Earl of Harrington, and also by letter to the Duke of Wel- lington, no farther proceedings were taken against him. On the 20th of August la « t the defendant renewed his in- sult, by thrusting his stick into the exhibitant's carriage whilst going acrces Grosvenor- square. The affidavit fur- ther stated, that exhibitant was informed by sir Richard Birnie, and believed that the defendant had exspressed hbiD- terrtlon to pursue towaids the exhibitant a certain course of Intuits, by whispers and gestures, which would not iwbject him to Magisterial Interference, during the lifetime of hia father ( the Earl of Harrington), to whom he had pledged himself not to repeat the first insult; and that the defendant had said he did not think he Ud violated his word of ho- nor whilst he abstained from repeating the first iiisnilt, and that be would annoy the exhibitant nntil the eahibkant shall either pay hhn the £. 10,000, won from Lord Beau* champ, or grrt him restored to his rank in the army, or a situ- ation of £. 300, or £ 400 a year in the Customs or K* ri*>. The affidavit further stated, that the eshibitant believed tb* intention of the defendant was to intimidate hixu iulo a com- pliance with his demands, or to provoke kiiu to a breach of the peace; and thirdly, that he » as not influenced by any malice or ill- will towards the defendant in miking LhU ap- plication in the Court. The LORD Chief JUSTICE asked the Attorney- General If he had the affidavit of the person who had communicated to the Marquis of Hertford the expressed intentions of the de- fendant. The ATTORney- gENERAL said, he had no affidavit ofthat kind, but he would either search for a precedent, or apply to Sir R. Birnie to make an affidavit, or to assign a reuoori why he did not make an affidavit. The case was ordered to stand over; and to be mentioned to the Court again tn the course of this day or Friday: but at throe o'clock Sir R. Birnie came into the Court, and made an affidavit, verifying the statements contained fn the Mar- quis of Hertford'* affidavit.— Articles of the peace were the* exhibited against the defendant. THE KING V. BRyAnT AnD HARMER. This was a rule obtained by Mr. Brougham, calling on the proprietor aud publisher of a newspaper, called Common Sense, or the Weekly Globe, to shew cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against thein In a libel on Colonel Berkley. The libel consisted of the paragraph which had appeared in mailt of the papers, stating that an un- manly ruffian had secreted himself in Miss Foot's chamber at Edinburgh, for an unworthy purpose, with this addition —" A private correspondent informs ue, that this unmanly ruffian was Colonel Berkley, in the disguise of a gentlman. The ATTORNEY- GeNErAL now shewed cause. Mr. Bry- ant swore that he knew nothing of the paragraph till it ap- peared in the paper. The other defendant stated, that the greater part oi the paragraph was a mere coppy from the daily papers. The LOrD Chief Justice.— And that, you know, is no justification. Mr BROUGHAM.— And, in the part which is not copied, the whole libel consists. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL.— The defendant swears that the addition was communicated in the usual way. The LORD CHIEf JUSTICE.— And what is the usual way? I suppose some one drops a letter into a box, and thence it is transfered to the paper. Mr. BrOuGhAM.— Yes; from" a private Correspondent." The ATTORnEY- genERAL.— I told these parties that their affidavits furnished no answer to the application; but they were anxious that the exact position in which they stand should be represented to the Court, The LORD GIIIBF JUSTICE.— They certainly furnish no answer whatever. The rule must be made absolute. MR. WOOLER. As their Lordships were rising, Mr. Wooler, who had been in Court throughout the day, rose to renew his appli- cation for the appointment of some day when, consistent with the othpr buiisess, he might be permitted to enter up- on his application for a mandamus to the Benchers of one of the Iur. of Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— In the present state of busi- ness, it is difficult to name any particular day; and I doubt, after all, whether it is in our power to give you any relief. Mr. JUSTICE BAILEY.— We understand you to be apply- ing for a mandamus to the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, com- manding them to do some particular thing? Mr. WOOLLER.— That is the object of my humble appli- cation to your Lordships. LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— I question very much the power of this Court to interfere by mandamus with such a body. Mr. WOOLLER expressed his strong hope of being able to convince the Court that, undor the peculiar circumstances of this case, their extraordinary interference was demanded. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— We only doubt our juris- diction. Mr. WOOLLER.— But I may hoj> e that your Lordships will decide nothing prematurely. 1 humbly request a hear- ing from the Court. The LORD CIUEP JUSTICE.— To that you are entitled of course; my only object in expressing an opinion now was either that you should be spared further trouble altogether or know to what particular part of the case to address your attention. Mr. WoolLER expressed his thanks for this intimation, aud then took occasion to apologize for the frequency of his applications to the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— Make no apologies, Mr. Wooller; it is very natural you should feel anxiety to have an issue put to this matter. Mr. JUSTICE BAILEY.— We are disposed to hear you the first opportunity— say Tuesday or Wednesday. Mr. WOOLLER bowed and the Court rose. Friday, Nov. 18. BUnN V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE " COMMON SENSE." Mr. ADOLPhUS, on the part of Mr.- Bunn, the Comedian said he had to move for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the publisher and proprietors of of the Common Sense for a libel of the most malignant description. It imputed to Mr. Bunn. an abomi- nable offence, which must excluce any many from society, and was contained in a deliberate statement put forth hy the Editor. The libel having been read, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICF said— Take a rule to show cause. hundred tonfc, while the laving Of fuel, and every other > item of expbnce, is piotJortionably reduced, without les- sening the capabilities of the vessel for stowage, while her speed is greatly increased! ' The only question in doubt, as to the propriety of Sub- sisting the high- pressure lor the low- pressure steam, is the danget from the accidents of explosion. With the former the legislature has here vtry properly interfered, until the safety of the lieges is more securely provided for. But were this properly taken up, and rendered the subject of efficient experiments, we are coufident that the ingenuity and fore- sight of our engineere would overcome all this. It there- tore bccomes matter of grave consideration, how far it is proper to restrain our steam navigators from all use of the high- pressure engine. We are aware that there is no subject on which Parliament enters with more delicacy, than all interference with the laws which regulate trade; and though distressing accidents with the use of high- pressure engines have occured both in America and in Britain, yet its total prohibition is, nevertheless, a measure of very questionable propriety, and one which will in the end be found quite Incompatible with any future state of warfare. The American privateers and squadrons will, in the first instance, possess facilities for annoying onr coasts with de- sultory warfare, and our trade in foreign seas. The distance between the two countries will then cease to form the barrier which it has hitherto done. From the abundance of wood, in the process of clearing the country, timber has been the chief fuel of America, and the discovery of coal has been little attended to. Tlieir attention has, however, been much directed to the metallurgic art of late, and many inexhaustible seams of coal have been discovered in various parts of that country. Although we would not question the justness and the hu- manity of our legislature, in putting a seasonable check to the use of high- pressure steam, yet we doubt the correct- ness of the advice Which led to its entire prohibition. We all know the benefit which steam navigation derived, and the confidence it acquired, by the early encouragement of the post- office department, the experimental vessels which it built, and the early application of steam, for the transfer of the mall across the Irish channel, between Holyhead and Dublin. We farther trust that it is not too much to expect that the Admiralty will, in like manner, institute a train of experiments, applicable to the subject of high- pressure engines, upon a scale, and under a superintendance, which may ultimately render it as safe as tbedow- pressure engine, now authorized by law. This subject, we flatter ourselves, will acquire additional Importance in the view of everyone, when we state the wpence and contingencies of steam navigation, which is, perhaps. known to very few. A steam- packet, of one hundred horses power, equipped to the taste of the present times, will probably cost about £ 20,000; expenditure of fuel at the rate of one- half chaldron of- coals per hour,* wages and victualling, per month, £ 250; tonnage duty, lights, pilotage, and port charges, £ 200 per annum; insurance, IOOL per month; small repairs and winter expences, » y 500/. But this is not all; a steam- vessel is calculated at only ten years' purchase, and, therefore, to renew her, we must lay aside a sinking fund of perhaps 5000/. per annum. Besides a set of new boilers in tlit course of that time, which will cost not less than 15001., being at the rate of 1000/. per month, of the sailing expences of • steam- packet of 100 horses' power. • Hie London dntie. s exacted on this consumption form one of the n4xr grt* » on* and nujssf taxes that can be imagined. The London Edinburgh steam- packets, for instance, in the summer months, bum, on an average, about 120 chaldrons of coal per week; anil altboagh 113 chaldrons of which are cun'uincd without the po't of Loudon, yet all the London duties, on half^ this quantity, are paid tot the tame as it actually burnt in London. We copy the following Letter addressed to the Editor of the SIR.-— In your journal of the 15th instant, you have obliged the public Iiy the insertion of " An Analysis of the Acts of Parliament relative to Weights and Measures, from » Scotch journal,'' and you say that " you cannot help apprehending that they will render confusion worse con- fnsed." I do not exactly understand whether your observations refer to th* acts or to the analysts. If they refer to the acts, yon and I are at issue; but if tbey refer to the analysis you quote, we perfectly agree. In point of fact, however, that analysis is Incorrect. The writer says—" To convert ale gallons into imperial gallons, add l- 47th part; and to convert imperial gallons into ale gallons, deduct l- 48th part." Were these calculations requisite, the present difficulties would unquestionably be increased; but they are neither Requisite In practice, nor correct in theory. I agree with the writer that " minute fractions may be rejected ;" but must take the liberty to tell him, that if the minutest fractions in the proper proportion were retained, they wuuld not create so much difficulty as the fractions l- 4? th and l- 48th, which he proposes. Not one case in a thousand will accrue in practical business where calculation will be at all requisite, the proportions between the old and new measures being accurately inserted in the tables I have prepared for this purpose; but whenever it may be requisite to rgsort to calculation, 1 should recommend that to reduce any number of ale gallons to imperial, add l- 60th, and to reduce any num- ber of imperial gallons to ale gallons, subtract 1- GOtli. This proportion Is easily obtained; and the error is not oae- tenth part so great as that which would result from the adoption of the proportion proposed in the Scotch journal. We would illustrate the truth of these observations by examples. The cubic inches in the imperial gallon are 277.274. I his number added to l- 47th part of itself will make 283.173, which ought to be only 2S2. Again, from 282 deduct l- 48th part, the remainder is 27R. 125, which ought to be 277.274. Instead of these, I propose to add and deduct l- 60th of the whole: hence, if we take away 1- COtli part of 382, the remainder Is 277.3, which is precisely the con- tents of the imperial gallon given in a printed report of the Commissioners of Weights and Measures laid before Par- liament. Again, l- 60th part of 277.274 added to 277.274 will make 281.3952, which is only 1.04S less tlian the truth— an error, as before stated, not a tenth part so great as is created by deducting l- 48th part. But, Sir, all wc can say upon this subject will not accomplish tlic end con- templated by the Legislature. We must provide the public with means more simple and more practically useful than these. Wc are prepared to do so; aud shall take care to do it In time to euable them to meet the change without the smallest difficulty. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, WM. GUTTERIDGE, Conservator of Weights and Measures for the County of Middlesex, & c. No. 14, Charles- street, Soho- square, Nov. 16. MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. ( From the Nottingham Journal. J The scene of this horrid oecurreuce was at a small dwel- ling- house, inhabited by the parties and their family, at the back of Parliament- row, about a quarter before 10 o'clock on Wednesday night, the people of tlie neigh bourhood where thrown into the greatest alarm by the dreadful cry of" Murder!" and, on proceeding to the spot from whence the cry issued, they found in the house ofS. wood, bobbin and carriagemaker, a female lying prostrate on the flopr, with several large wounds upon her fucs and head, and her brains literally knocked out. It was sooi certained that Wood had, with a coal- pick, inflicted the wounds upon his wife, and thus inhumanly murdered her. The wretch immediately fled ; but was apprehended by two men as he was trying to make his escape, and conveyed to the police- office, from whence he was sent to the House of Correction, to await the verdict of the coroner's inquest. The family appeared to beiu comfortable circumstances; and we understand the unfortunate deceased, who was respect- tably connected, was in possession of a property amounting to 801. or 1001. a- year, which was so secured that her hus- band could uot touch it. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. The Jury met on Thursday, to investigate the ease, seph White a surgeon, proved, that the deceased had died from wounds inflicted with some obtusely- pointed instru- ment of considerable weight. The jaw of the deceased was fractured; there was a wound ou the back of the neck, aud three on the skull. By the evidence of several witnesses it appeared that al- though he was, at the time under the influence of liquor- yet he had for some time premeditated the a t from motivi of jealousy. The deceased bore an irreproachable character in the neigh- bour hood, so that the statement of the prisoner respecting her conduct is entitled to little or no credit. [ Continuation of Dover News.] THE INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT Was held at Dover, on Monday last, before Wm. John Law, Esq. Commissioner, in the absence of John Greathed Harris, esq. the Commissioner who had been appointed to the Circuit, but who was prevented from attend- ing.— The following prisoners applied for their discharge, viz. James Henry Chandler, formerly of Ply- mouth and Portsmouth but late of Hythe, Assistant Surgeon. It appeared that after the insolvent was in prison he had ordered his effects to be sold, and that the proceeds amounting to 1 18 3, had been receiveil by liim, nnd applied partly in dis- charge of his attorney's bill, and partly for his maintenance, and that his wearing apparel had been appraised to him at£ l9 17 0. The Court observed that as an insolvent was allowed to retain property to the amount of only, unless by a special order, which the insolvent had not applied for, he ought iti strictness, to pay into the court the difference between that sum and the sum received; but, inasmuch as it appeared that he had only acted through ignorance, and had been out on bail for three months without disposing of his pro- perty, and it seemed to be a case in which, had the court been applied to, they would have lent their assistance— the court ordered his dis- charge forthwith. Joseph Samuel Smithson, formerly of London and Boulogne, but late of Brussels, discharged. James Ferrers, of London, Yeoman, was discharged conditionally on filing an affidavit of service of notice on certain creditors, otherwise adjourned till next circuit. Cyrus Warner, formerly of Ramsgate, Linen- draper, but late of Dumpton in the isle of Tha- net, Schoolmaster. The insolvent stated that his effects, ( of which he could render no ac- count,) were in the possession of a Mr. Alex. Miller, to whom he had sometime since given a warrant of attorney, and the court considering it a case of suspicion adjourned it till the next circuit, in order that the insolvent might pro- duce Mr. Miller, aud give an account of his property, with vouchers. William Youngs late of Deal, discharged. George Palmer Walls, of Ramsgate, Iron monger. The facts of the case as they appeared on the evidence of the Insolvent, were, that having called his creditors together for an ex- tension of credit, they refused it, unless some one would be answerable for part of the debts ; upon this his father gave bills to each creditor, in part, and the insolvent gave his father a Warrant of Attorney, upon which, when he was arrested, his goods were taken in execution, and the amount of the sale paid to the father. Giving the Warrant of Aitorney appeared to be unknown to the majority of the creditors. Mr. Wm. Lee, Solicitor, Sandwich, being examined, stated that he was the Attorney of the Insolvent's father, and knew that Mr. Chaplin, one of the creditors, had been with the father a few days since, on the subjeet of the insolvent's affairs. The Court observed that it should not pre- judge the question, whether the father had a right to Teiajn the proceeds of the sale against the creditors, which seemed at least to be at ariance with the agreement, by which tho creditors, no doubt, expected to obtain his security, in addition to the insolvent's property, but declared the insolvent entitled to his dis- charge, and directed it to be stayed until an account was filed of the sale, by which the money- was paid to his father, and an admission of its receipt under his hand verified_ by affidavit. George Hawkins the younger, was d'scharged conditionally, on filing certain affidavits of service. Samuel Wm. Skurdon of Deal, Surgeon; William Wood of Margate, Stonemason; Stephen Watts of Deal, Tinman ; John Rogers of Margate, Shoemaker; and Stephen Sisley of Hastings, Baker, were ordered to be discharged forthwith. On Tuesday evening last about 0 o'clock some thieves entered the Timber- yard of Mr. John Finnis aud stole some deals with which they were making off towards Woolcomber's- street, but being observed by a person passing who suspected all was not right, followed them ; when they found that they were discovered they threw down the deals and ran away.
