WAIL ® , The Paris Papers received last night state, that the Turks sustained a severe defeat on the 2d ult. in an attack by land and sea upon Missolonghi —~ The Greeks of the garrison,> it is stated, had, on the 28th of February, prepared themselves for the con- vict by a universal participation in the Holy Sacra- Erir^ it ; and in the moment of the solemn fortitude • which the religious rite naturally produced, they were called upon to repel the attack of the Turks. The result was such as must follow the strife be tween mere animal courage on one side opposed to that sacred- devotion which makes every man of an army indifferent to his own fate, and careful ofthe safety of his fellow soldiers, for the sake of the common cause. The Turks are said to have lost between 4,000 and 5,000 men ; and a more calamit- ous consequence of their defeat to them, is the sclf- dk- pers'on of the whole of the Egyptian army, upon • which only they could rest their hope of final suc- cess in the campaign TfIE~ RECENT ABDUCTION. The following appears iu the Papers of this clay: " The reports which have been circulated, re- specting the age and situation in life of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, are very incorrect. It has been said that he is upwards of 40, and that he is in indigent circumstances; whereas, he is only 30, and has, at present, an income of £ 1,000 per annum, " with an early prospect of its being increased to £ 3,000, and in the event of his two children dying bifore they attain their respective majorities— £ 70,000 will devolve to him. He is represented as a very elegant and personable young man, intelli- gent and well educated. His brother William, who is now in custody, is much younger than himself, and equally prepossessing. Their father is now a candidate for the representation of Reading, and they are the nephews of a most respectable Chan- cery Barrister. " On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Wm. Wakefield arrived by the Defiance coach at Stockport, in custody of Barrett, the Keeper of the New Bailey, and the following morning, about ten o'clock, he was conveyed before Sir. Leigh, at Disney, the magistrate who had issued the warrant, where Miss Turner and her father appeared and gave evidence. The young lady gave a minute detail of al! the fads, pretty nearly as they have already appeared ; and Mr. Turner deposed to his having landed property, which vi ill descend to his daughter, and she is, therefore, his hieir- apparent. This latter testimony was given with a view to bring Ihe case within the Statutes which make the offence capital. The old gentleman was extremely violent be lore the magis- trate, and called the prisoner a villain ; to which the latter made no answer, and only noticed the epithet by respectfully bowing. The magistrate complimented him on the propriety of his demean- our; to which lie replied, that ho hoped he did not require to be taught how to behave himself as a gentleman. " Mr. Griinsditcb, the solicitor, also gave evidence to disprove the statement made by the Wakefields, that he had advised that Miss turner should marry Edward Gibbon Wakefield to relieve her father from his difficulties. " At the close of tiie examination, Mr. Grimsditch said it would be necessary to postpone the final hearing until the Governess, from - whose house Miss Turner was talcen at Liverpool, could attend. Mr. Wakefield, on the other hand, pressed for his case to be immediately determined, in order that he might be admitted to bail ( if the charge was bail- able) ; and Dr. Davis, a gentleman of high respecta- bility, residing in Macclesfield, offered to become bail for the accused to any amount. The magis- trate, however, declined taking bail, aud adjourned the further hearing of the case till Monday at two o'clock. Mr. Wakefield was accordingly taken hack to Stockport, and Mr. Ilarmer, who arrived by the mail just after his return, visited him in the Kew Eailey." RLABIXC.— Mr. Edward Wakefield, father to the young man who has lately occupied so large a [. hare of public attention, is a candidate forthe re- presentation of the borough of Reading. Some im- putations having been made against his character, in consequence of the recent transactions of his relative. Mr. Wakefield, on Tuesday last, met at Reading a large number of his friends and sup- porters, at ihe White Hart. Mr. Wakefield not only most solemnly declared his utter ignorance of the transaction iu question previous to its taking place, but he pledged himself to do every thing iu iiis power to give his assailants full opportunity to prove, if they were able, the. justice of their in- sinuations. While he commiserated the situation in • which Mr. Turner had been so cruelly placed by the temporary loss of his child, lie excused himself from becoming the accuser of his own son. He expressed himself that the question with respect to himself iu particular should be most thoroughly . investigated, and he again pledged himself to en- tirely cleanse his character, Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. Archdeacon Owen :—" House Visitors, Jonathan Perry, Esq. and Mr. Scoltock.

Bridge hae for some years " lived by his wits," ( as the phrase is,) — and, with the exception of a turn or two for a month or so at the tread- mill, lias hitherto carried on his operations with considerable success. He is one of the most dextrous- hands in the kingdom at writing a " begging letter." At these Sessions, Richard' Waffers and William Bright ( from Bishop's Castle) were found guilty of an aggravated assault, and were sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for three calendar months. At the Warwick Assizes, ou Friday last, Michael Ford, was found guilty of the murder of Mr. Richard Perry, in Birmingham, as stated iu a former Journal, and ordered for execution on Monday.— Hon ry Childe, found guilty of stealing jewellery, snuff- boxes, and other articles of considerable valne, the property of his employers, Messrs.

At the Monmouth Assizes, Thomas Davies, a farmer of apparent respectability, was tried and found guilty on four different indictments for horse- stealing : sentence of death was passed npon hint, and he was told that mercy would not be extended to him.— At the same Assizes, Abraham Owen, a native of Somerset, was found guilty of the wilful murder ( by strangling him) of Morgan Saunders, whom he had attacked without the least provocation, and who had refused to fight him.

Lord Kenyon, attained his majority on Saturday last; oil which occasion, besides the festivities at GRF. DINGTON ( the family mansion), rejoicings took place at OVEHTON, HAN MER, and the various other places in the vicinage of the residence of the highly respectable aad deserv- edly honoured Family. At WHITCHURCH, the day was announced by the ringing of bells; a very fine ox was distributed amongst 100poor people; and a party of geutlemeu dined together at the White Lion Inn ( George Corset*, Esq. ill the chair). " The Health of the Hon. Lloyd Kenyon, and may he emulate the Virtues of his nobleEather," was drunk with great applause: many loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and the greatest harmony and good humour prevailed throughout the evening. Celebration of the Tion. I Lorn Knrnvo. v's comirg of Age, at Penley, ( FlintshireJ.— In token of their high respect for the House of Gredington, the inhabitants of Penley, on the 1st instant, gave an uuroasted ox to 57 of the poor of that township ; when twenty pouuds in money was distributed amongst twenty- five of the poorest of those who had received meat, which sum Lord Kenyon sent for that purpose. Upwards of 40 freeholders then sat down to an excellent dinner in the Madras school- room: at the same time the girls ( 130 in number) and the boys ( 120), were treated respect- ively by their mistress and master— the former with tea, cake, and wine, the latter with meat and beer. [ These charities are entirely supported by Lord Kenyon.] After dinner, just as the company had drank to the health ofthe Hon. Lloyd Keuyon ( with 3 times 3, and other usual expressions of warm and strong feeling), ( lie girls and boys forming a semi- circle about the school- room door, a band of music, being stationed in the centre, sung a song suitable to the occasion : the effect was quite electrical: the anxious eye of the parent ranged round this little happy group to catch a glimpse of the object of its endearment: the feeling that reigned in every heart was too strongly marked to want an interpreter— it was gratitude and hope: gratitude to the patron of this happy band, and hope that they might always find one in him whose prosperity aud happiness they so ardently desired. The children were then dis- missed, and went home. The rest of tbe company kept up their festivities to a late hour.— Upwards of £ 80 was given away, in beef, bread, and money. At the Great Sessions for the county of Radnor, tiiere was only one prisoner, Samuel Williams, of Norton, charged with stealing an adze, the property of Hugh Whimbridge, jun. of Presteign, who was acquitted. The civil business was likewise unim- portant. At Brecon Great Sessions, there was only one prisoner for trial, namely, James Hackett, for steal, ing a brown pony mare, the property of Mr. John West, jun. of Fi- oine, Somersetshire, which was found in his possession at Llywel, in the county of Brecon. The prisoner was found guilty, and sen- tence of death was recorded against him.— On Tues- day, the old issue day, there was only one cause fcr trial, it was to recover a sum of £ 5. 10s. and a verdict was given for the plaintiff. The cause was undefended. At the Cardigan Great Sessions, David Lewis, the person against whom a verdict of manslaughter was returned by the coroner's inquest, as noticed in our paper of last week, was liberated; the Grand . fury having returned Not Guilty on the back of the in- dictment.— At Nisi Prius, the following cause was decided:— Doe, on fhe demise of Ann Ermu, v. Mary Hughes.— This was an ejectment to recover the possession of a tenement of land situate in the parish of Llanfairclyfodog, in the county of Cardigan. Lessor of Plaintiff claimed the premises in question, as the heiress at law ofthe late husband of the de- fendant, John Hughes. The defendant likewise claimed under the will of her late husband. It ap- peared that in the year 1S20, the late Mr. Hughes was seized with a paralytic fit, which gradually affected his mental capacity. In the year 1822, he sent for a neighbourto take instructions for his will, which lie: wished to be drawn by Mr. Lewis, of Gilfacli, in the county of Carmarthen. ' I'he will was drawn by that gentlemanin perfect accordance with the instructions which he received, and which were dictated by the testator. The wiil was properly executed in the presence of three respectable wit- nesses, who proved that the deceased was at the time of sound mind. On the part of the Lessor of Plaintiff, it was proved by a great number of wit- nesses, that the Testator was frequently seen under circumstances which indicated mental incapacity, and on this gronnd it was contended that the will was invalid, and the Lessor of Plaintiff sought to recover the premises in question, as heiress at law to the Testator; however, none of the witnesses called on the part of the heiress at law attempted to contradict the evidence ofthe witnesses for defend- ant, as to the mental capac ity of the Testator at the time of executing the will. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant, thereby establishing the validity of the wiil. At the Mold Great Session, John Hughes, for a larceny at Bretton Hall, was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment.— Ann Crawley, for robbing the house of John Paddock, at Peulev, was sentenced to be imprisoned 6 calendar months.— Mary Jones, for stealing a sheet from her master's at Pen- y- palmaat, was sentenced to be imprisoned 9 months.— Edward Jones, for robbing the desk in fhe machine house at Tryddyn colliery, was sentenced to be imprisoned 18 calendar months.— Robert Gregory, for poaching on the manor of Sir T. Mostyn, in the parish of Llanasa, to be imprisoned 12 months.— Several miners, for a riot at Leeswood,! pleaded guilty, and were discharged on their own recognizance.— At this Session an action of ejectment was brought to recover possession of a public subscription schooi- house, ill consequence of the misconduct of the master, who was the defendant in the action. The plaintiff obtained a verdict. CHESTER CIRCUIT.— His Majesty's Justices of the Court of Great Session for the several counties of Chester, Flint, Denbigh, aud Montgomery, have been pleased to admit Charles Walter Wyatt, aad Thomas Hughes, both of St. Asaph, in the county of Flint, Gentlemen, attornies and solicitors of the said courts respectively. mMmwir wmj^ iK SHREWSBURY.

[ Abridged from the Sporting Magazine.'] The Monday's fixture ( 23d January) was Nesscliff', half way between Shrewsbury and Oswestry, on the great Irish road. 1 must just turn out of Jne road,* for one minute, here. Iu most other countries, if a man wishes to anticipate his friend's performance for the day, the question he would ask would be — what horse do you ride? Not so, however, in Shropshire. There are two or three of my friends in that sporting, and, I must add, most hospitable county, lo whom the most likely question, whereby to elicit the truth, would be — not, what horse do you ride to day ? — but, what have you had lo drink ? The fact is, the fences come very quick in Shropshire, and a little jumping- powde'r is often found useful ; so, going into the public- house at Nesscliff, by way of beginning, I put the following question to the landlord : 44 How much brandy has Mr. Mytton h'ad this morning ?"— 44 None, Sir," was the reply. 44 I cannot, swallow that," said I. * * It is true I fissure you," said Boniface. 44 What else has he had then r" I resumed. 44 Some egged ale, sir." 4' Ah !" said I, 44 some of your Shropshire Squires, like many others, want a little egging on now and then." The following anecdote will shew what a poor chance some men have when quite sober against others a little primed : — J remember the present Lord Forester being on a visit at Wynnstay some years back, when a friend of his was very much badgered by a certain Welsh Squire— now no more— to run him a race over the country, for one hundred guineas a- side. Observing him always to decline the challenge,* his Lordship thus addressed his frieud 44 Why, B , I have seen you ride very decently across Leicestershire ; why don't you tackle this Welsh Squire ? The next time he offers it, take, the bet, and I will stand half of it." B , who was a cautious one,; thus replied :— 44 Why if J could be sure he would come out sober, I would take h is bet to- morrow; but d—— n the fellow, he would come out half drunk, and beat me." We had a beautiful find on Nessclitf Hill on this day, and a very sharp 25 minutes to ground. It was near, however, being a day of sorrow. 44 That good sports- man, and true friend to fox hunting," as he is so pro- perly termed in your last— Mr. Lloyd, of Aston— got a most severe fall. Tuesday, the 24th, went to meet Sir Richard Puleston's hounds at Petton, about half way between Shrewsbury and Ellesmere, and one of bis best fix- tures ; but the frost had made its appearance again, and we could not throw off. On ray return to Kings- land, I accompanied Sir Rowland Hill and his brother, ( as also Sir Richard Puleston, who was on a visit there,) to Hardwick, the seat of Lord Hill, where, after an excellent luncheon, I amused myself with in- specting— not his kennel of fox- hounds, but— his Southdown sheep, aud pigs. Previous to this day, I bad flattered myself that 1 knew something of a pig ; but his Lordship's old pig- man soon convinced me to the contrary, aud appeared to hold in utter contempt every remark I made. Notwithstanding this, I may perhaps venture to say, that Lord Hill's pigs are very first- rate of their kind, and his Southdown wethers the best I ever touched. Their weight was from 251 b. to 301b. per quarter. His Lordship basin his service the late Lord Bridgewater's celebrated shepherd; but after my reception from the pig*- man, I thought it best to steer clear of him. On Wednesday, the 25th, Sir Bellingham sent the dog pack to Hardwick, to shew them to Sir Richard Puleston, and we followed them in the drag. Frost harder and harder, and neither of us very lively on the road. Another good luncheon, a glass of his Lord- ship's old Shropshire stingo, and a cigar, set all matters straight. There was a large party in the house — chiefly composed ( as is the case in this part of Shropshire) of Hills and Corbels ; but, 44 they are a rare sort," and there cannot well he too many of them. Lord Hill has not long completed Hardwick ; but he has made an excellent house of it, and turned his sword into a ploughshare. The painted glass in his windows is beyond any thing beautiful, and does in- finite credit to the artists, who reside at Shrewsbury. In the dining- rooui is an excellent likeness ofthe Great Captain of the age, and also a full- length portrait of Lord Hill, by Sir William Beechey. The latter is not wanting in resemblance, but there is an air of fierce- ness in the countenance that does not belong to the original. If the words of the Poet can be applied to any one, to Lord Hill are they certainly due : — " In war, he's savage as the chafed tiger:— In peace, as gentle as th' unweaued lamb!" On Thursday, the 26th, we dined at Berwick, the magnificent, seat of Mis. Powys, within two miles of Shrewsbury. This was tbe second day fixed upon for a trial of strength and speed between the greyhounds - t'. f Sir B. Graham and Lord Denbigh - iwid his two brothers, who all reside part of tbe year with their grandmother, Mrs. Powys; and the fine meadows by the river Severn's side were well calculated for the sport. Jack Frost, however, put a veto on our morn- ing's sport, though he could notcontroul the pleasures of the evening. The trial, however, has since taken place, and 1 hear the Yorkshire Baronet won the day. Lord Denbigh is getting a little slack, and does not send a stud into Leicestershire, though he can always command good hunting from his seat, atNewnham. His Lordship's next brother, however, Mr. Henry Feilding, is, I believe, still going well, and he left us as soon as sport began, and got to his horses in Leices- tershire. Friday, the 27th, we dined at Condover, tlie splendid seat of Mr. Smvthe Owen. Long may its owner live to enjoy it! I have had many a gallop over a country with him, and he is a steady good friend to fox- hunting. Your readers may recollect my mentioning Mr. Lloyd, of Rhagatt, in my account of the Amesbury Coursing Meeting. Mr. Lloyd is no fox- hunter ; but no man knows the shape aud make of a greyhound better than himself, and he is esteemed one ofthe best farmers, and judges of cattle, in the principality of Wales. He was of our party at Condover. After hunting at Battlefield on the 30th, Sir Belling- ham and myself proceeded to Acton Reynald, the seat of Mr. Andrew Corbet, eldest son of my old friend Sir .. Andrew Corbet, in whose amusing society I have spent many happy hours. There was a large party in the house for a battu in the woods the next day, but I pre- ferred going with the Cheshire bounds, which met ot Shavington, the seat of that hearty old buck— that real specimen of an Irish Nobleman— my Lord Kil- niorey, who turned out a small raiment of sportsmen from under his hospitable roof. We found immediately, and lost a had fox at the end of an hour and twenty minutes— partly owing to there being two scents at first, and the hounds not getting well together. I did not wait for the second fox, neither did more than a dozen out of a very large field. FREEHOLD PROPERTY, At Northwood. BY GEO.

In crossing a larg- e sheet of water, where the ice was only partly thawed, twocouples of hounds got under it, aud were drowned. February the 1st, Sir Bellingham's hounds met at Acton Reynald, where we were ready to receive them. We had forty minutes, and ran to ground. We had some beautiful hunting over a uioor, and the scent was capital in covert. It was also a particularly good day for hearing hounds ; and the music of the dog- pack in Shawbury wood, when close to their fox, was quite enchanting. I said to myself— " Never did I hear Such gallant chiding; for, besides the groves,' The skies, the fountains, every region near Seem all one mutual cry ; 1 never heard So musical a discord, such sweet thunder." On Thursday, the 2d, Sir Bellingham accompanied me to see a celebrated pack of harriers, which hunt in the neighbourhood of Shrewsbury. They are the property of Mr. Harries, of Cruckton Hall, who has kept them about twenty- seven years, and they struck me as being very complete indeed. Their height does not exceed nineteen inches ; but they combine a good deal of strength with very correct symmetry. There was a huntsman and whipper- in— each sufficiently mounted ; and these, with the Squire's pad- gToom ( all in the same toggery), made a respectable appear- ance. Our day's sport was a good one. We had two sharp little bursts ; and then hunting beautifully up toa hare ou foot, we had forty minutes very quick indeedy with blood at the end of it. On my observing that there was a short pack in the field, Mr. Harries told me he never took out more than thirteen or fourteen couples. 44 This," said he, 44 is a strongly- fenced country : my hounds must muse ; and when there are more of them, they are only iu each other's way, and get ridden over by the horsemen." I admitted the justness of iiis re- mark. This day being devoted to the scut, we accompanied Mr. Lyster, of Rowton Castle, home from the field, and finished the morning with coursing. Mr. Lyster having only lately recovered from an alarming illness, I had not, previous to this time, seen him in the field. He is, I believe, not only as good as any man in Shropshire— but, Sir Bellingham says, as good as any man he ever saw. After partaking of his hospitality for the night, we got steady from hare, and met the Shropshire fox- hounds the next day at Boreatton, the seat of Mr. Hunt. Plenty of pheasants, but no fox. Drew on to Leaton Shelf, and found at least a leash. This is a most picturesque covert— overhanging the banks of the Severn— the property of Mr. Lloyd, of Domgay, and extremely ornamental to bis new house ; but the most infernal place for hounds I ever came across. A bad fox may beat the best pack in England iu an hour; and it went te my heart to see Sir Bellinghain gallopping that fine horse, Treacle, up and down its deep sides, without, apparently, the smallest chance of sport. I have one word to say here of our friend Stephen Matthews, who certainly stands first in the list of < k zealous sportsmen" amongst the Shropshire- yeomen. He was, however, more than usually zealous'. on this day. At one time Sir Bellingham caught bin? casting his hounds; at another, lie rode over hounds, scent and all ; and at another, 1 myself saw him larking away at a clipping pace, across the country, to tiie very spot where he was sure fo head the fox "; and he did head him. 44 How maw I" said I; 44 is this tlie good sportsman— the Stephen Matthews I have heard so much of?"— 44 Truth will out," says the proverb; and out it came at last. It seeu'i. s > hat Stephen Matthews, a short time before we found this fox, rode up to a friend of mine, and said — 44 Are you dry?" My friendj of course, was dry. 44 Come along with me," said Stephen, 44 and 1 will take you io the best tap of ale in Shropshire." How much my friend took of this best tap in Shropshire I wiil not say ; but I was credibly informed, that four half pints of it. found their way into Stephen Matthews's stomach. Now I very much admire Stephen Matthews as a sportsman and as a rider, but he does not require a spur in the bead and one on the heel too. Mr. Matthews will excuse what I have said. I should be sorry to offend him ; for, as I said before, 1 like him in the field ; and I like him the more for hearing him say, thai, though be had seven couples and a half of young ones^ he would ride a fox- hunting as long as he was able'. After hunting on this day, Sir BeHingharn and myself dined at Acton Burucll, which was the fixture for she next morning. This is the fine seat of my verv old friend Sir Edward Smythe, of whom S have spokeii before ; and who hunted Shropshire six seasons. Sir Edward is the representative of a very ancient Roman Catholic family ; and—- whether on a Friday or a Monday ; whether in Lent or out of Lent-- a more jovial fellow is not to be found iu His Majesty's dominions. Though this worthy Baronet has plenty of game, he is a strict preserver of foxes, and generally finds a good one. The day f am speaking of did not prove an excep- tion. We found in the park; and, after upwards of two hours through a deep and distressing country, lost him by a hoi loo from a keeper, who thought he had marked him to ground. At the second check, I heard Sir Bellingham say we had been running him an hour and ten minutes—- quite enough for the country we run over. I witnessed ? n this run what I never witnessed before— namely," three gentlemen riding at gates,— and— without their horses falling— tumbling over their heads. The trio was composed of Mr. Byrne, a friend of Sir Edward Smythe's, but a native of the Sister King- dom ; Mr. Rock-- a very thrusting young man ; and Mr. Mytton! Monday, the 6th, met at Ercall Mill, and had a beautiful find in a gorse covert—- ra'ther a rare thing in Shropshire. The day was extremely stormy, and we could do nothing- with our first fox. A curious circum stance occurred with the second. The pack slipped away with him, down wind, out of a large Covert, unseen or unheard by any of a numerous field, except- ing Sir Rowland Hill and Mr. Owen ( heir- apparent to Woodhouse), who had all the fun to themselves, and ran into him in twenty- five minutes. So inuch for woodland hunting in a very tempestuous day! It was curious to see the field scattered in all directions, but uone of them able to get a glimpse of the pack. The fixture for the 8th was the Twemlows— the crack covert in the Shropshire Hunt. On the 7th we took up our abode at Prees Hall, the seat of Sir Robert Hill, which is within two miles of the covert. Antici- pation is seldom confirmed, and we had a very bad day's sport. Independently of the pleasant party we met at Si Robert Hill's, I experienced a great treat in meeting with an old schoolfellow, of whom I had, for some time, lost sight, but who has been more than twenty years Vicar of the parish of Prees. We were obliged t o return to Kingslatid for Thurs- day's hunting at Condover. We bad a beautiful thing ou this day of forty- five minutes, till we came to Severn, when all our fun was over. The hounds crossed, and killed their fox in gallant style. Thi was the best part of . Shropshire I ever rode over : tin fields were of fair size; the ground sound; and the fences such as required a hunter to get well over I had the pleasure on this day of, seeing Mr. Henry Lyster's performance mi his famous mare, The Doe. For the weight she can carry, I think she is not to be beaten, and Mr. Lyster was certainly first man on this day. Mr. Mytton and Mr. Rock went gallantly ; but Sir Bellingham surprised us all. On Friday, the 10th, business called me home, and afterwards io the 44 little city." On Tuesday, the 21st, 1 patronized the Wonder coach, which travels to , Shrewsbury in one day— alias in seventeen hours. This, however, is no wonder, as far as pace is con- cerned ; for Jack Pere's wheel often goes round three timos for the Wonder's twice. Nevertheless, the Wonder is a capital coach. A man may set his watch by it on any part of the road, and passengers may be assured that they are safe. Although I have pronounced the IVonder to be no wonder, yet when 1 was drinking a cup of coffee at tbe Lion Inn, in Shrewsbury, a little after eleven o'clock at night, and recollected that I bad done the same thing that, morning, in London, at ten minutes past five— the distance one hundred and fifty- six miles— I began to think that I ought to give it full credit. 44 At all events," said I to myself, 44 how it would make my grandfather stare, were he present to hear it ! All the balling- irons in England would not make him swallow it." The next morning I put. myself into a post- chaise, and I arrived at Mr. Mytton's by breakfast. The fixture for the day was Haiston, whither Sir Belling-- ham had arrived the day before. We bad a beautiful find in a large piece of gorse, and a good fox went away ; but the day precluded a chance of sport, as it was extremely stormy, without an atom of scent. We did not find again ; and it was apparent to all, how necessary it is ( if the country is to be hunted) that gorse coverts should be made between Haiston and Shrewsbury. Sir Watkin was in the field on this day. The next day the Shropshire hounds met « t Pitchford Park, seven miles on the other side of Shrewsbury, but as I had no horses in that part ofthe country, I did not meet, them. Mr. Mytton went, and saw a fiue run of one hour and twenty minutes. On Friday, the 24th, met Sir Richard Puleston's hounds at Penley Green, and drew what are called 44 The Duke's Woods," the property of the late Duke of Bridgewater. The late Lord Bridgewater behaved in a very liberal manner to Sir Richard, by having excellent rides made through these extensive coverts, which make them very useful to hounds ; but as far as sport or pleasure is concerned, they are but ill cal- culated to afford'much of either. Oil the next day a brace of bagmen were turned out before Mr. Mytton's hounds : but the account of that memorable day, a few remarks on Sir Richard Pulestou's and the Cheshire hounds, and the merits and demerits of the Shropshire riders, must be deferred lo the number for next month. On the morning, however, that we were amusing ourselves with Mr. Mytton's bagmen, the Shropshire hounds had a capital run of one hour and eighteen minutes from CotferelPs Gorse, which sounds rather better to a sportsman's ear. Now for a word or two about the country. Were it not. for a few 44 ifs," Shropshire would rank rather high among the provincials. In the first place, it is able to stand four days a week, and the coverts are very well stocked with foxes. It also, on the whole, holds a fair scent, but a very great part of it is not only wet, but. boggy. It is " also extremely deficient in gorse coverts, but I believe this evil is about to be removed ; and it is— a great drawback to sport, and very annoying to a huntsman and his hounds— the most hollow country I ever hunted in. In the course of this season, Sir Belliugham ran thirteen out of fifteen of his foxes to ground, which I never heard of any hounds doing before. Such earths as are uot used for breeding should be dug out, and iron grates should be placed on the mouths of drains which are able to admit a fox. The first of these remedies, however, will not always succeed, as, from the loose nature of the soil in many parts, fresh spouts and earths would be made in each succeeding year. As a country to ride over, as far as leaping is con- cerned, Shropshire is an easy one— that is to say, the part comprising the Shropshire Hunt. Although the fences come quick, yet there is nothing to stop a hard- riding man on a good hunter; and timber need but rarely betaken. The common Shropshire fence—- say nineteen out of twenty — is a small live or dead hedge, not bound, placed on a small bank, with one ditch, and that not generally a large one. These fences, how- ever, stop horses in their paces, for they must he taken quietly. Were a man to attempt to clear bank and all at one fly, he would not go long ; bnt he is generally safe over them if he have a hand on his horse, and will allow him to 44 foot well" ( as we call it) before he springs. In some countries that I have hunted over, the common Shropshire fence would be considered little more than a gap. Strong places, however, do every now aud then occur, and — what makes small fences large ones— the horses are almost always going in deep ground. Horses, indeed, that can go well over Shropshire, can go well over most other countries. There is, however, one part of riding over Shrop- shire which requires a good man and a good horse, and even these will not always do. I allude to the black, boggy drains, which abound in the low mea- dows, and which will not admit, of a horse approach- ing their banks near enough to be certain of clearing them. If he do clear them, the exertion is a severe one, and an over- reach, or a lost shoe, is tuo often the within my sphere of knowledge have had their usual sport, up to the going away ofthe frost. Sir Belling- ham Graham's hounds did not furnish the exception ; for he himself informed me, that up to the time alluded to, he never had so disastrous a season. With the exception of the Woodhouse day — which was a trimmer— and one or two pretty bursts, he had no- thing iri the shape of sport until after 5 had been with him nearly a month ; but since the frost, he has been doing very well— seldom missing his fox, with a good run. When Sir BeiSingham Graham asserts ( as he dno-) that he 44 likes the people iu Shropshire," we may naturally conclude he chiefly alludes to those of his own rank in life, with whom he every day associate •. I think, however, I may take upon myself to say, he goes one step further than this, and includes, in his panegyric, the yeomen and farmers who reside within the limits of his hunt , and well he may, I have ridden over the majority of our English counties, but never did I meet such hospitable and jovial fellows ns Ihe Shropshire and Staffordshire farmers. With them, 44 What will you drink?" is the next question tr> ; How do you do?" and, now and then, 44 What will ou drink?" comes first. Some of them, however, as Sir BeHingham says, are 44 zealous dogs." particular-. " y after a certain hour of the day. What, a contrast- does this conduct, exhibit to a neighbouring county After a, fine day's siport with the Cheshire, a few dav* hack;, I was- riding home with Will Head ( the hunts- man) and his two whipper. s--. in, when a very respect- y dressed farmer came out of his house fo ask the particulars of the run. He came, however, empty- latided, and never asked us to break, our fast. 44 It is a sign we are not in Shropshire," said I to Will. " Lord, Sir!" replied he, 44 a jug of ale is a rarity itr Cheshire, unless you pay for it." consequence. A worse season for scent than the present, up to a certain period, is not upon record. It has not been the case with this pack or with that; but— with only one exception which I aua acquainted with— no hounds The Leominster Bank, of Messrs. Coleman, Morris, and Sons, suspended its payments on Tues- day, the 28th ult. Messrs. Coleman, Morris, and Sons, make no; doubt that they shall have a con- siderable surplus, after all demands are discharged. At a meeting ofthe Creditors of the Hereford Old Bank, on Monday, a second statement ofthe affairs ofthe firm was presented, from which it appeared that the balance in its favour, after the deduction for doubtful debts had breen' materially increased, amounted to upwards of £ 1000 more than the inves- tigation first published stated^ and being now, in- cluding the private property of the partners, £ 67,520. 3s. 3d. It was unanimously agreed by the meeting, 44 convinced of the integrity and talents of the members of the establish meat/ Messrs. Hollo- way, Cooke, and Carless," to entrust the manage- ment of their affairs to these gentlemen, subject t<? the inspection of two auditors, who shall be em powered to order such distribution ofthe assets as shall appear to them most advantageous to the general interest of the creditoVs. The assignees of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. having investigated the affairs of the York, Wake- field, and Bradford Banks, report that, after paying 20s. in fhe pound, there will be ( on the banking account) a surplus of £ 3240. i( Nevertheless, ( saya the York Chronicle,) fhe assignees deem it neces- sary to secure all the available private property cf the bankrupts, to be in readiness^ should any defi- ciency arise from the general balance, in order to secure to the creditors 203. in the pound.. It proper to state, that the examinations were so satis- fa ctory, that all the assignees immediately agreed to sign the bankrupts' certificate, which example, it is hoped, will be followed by every creditor, whose debt amomits to £ 20 and upwards." This an- nouncement lias given great satisfaction in York- shire, aud will go far towards the restoration of public confidence in that county. Together, the private estates arc estimated at £ 220,00!), viz. Mr. Weutworth's valued at £ 120,000; Mr. Chaloner's at £ 40,000; and Mr. Rishworth's at £ 60,000. At the Chester Great Sessions, on Saturday last, Abraham Stones ( a bully for women of loose charac- ter,) was convicted of robbing Mr. Jonathan Marsden, of Llanfair Mines, on the highway iu Chester, and had sentence of death passed upon him.— Joseph Hihberf, for assaulting and robbing J. Lloyd Esq. ( prothouotary), at iiee Cop, waa sentenced to be transported for life. YORK AISIZES, MARCH 28.— King v. Tfetl ( Coro- ner.)— The defendant pleaded guilty fo the charge, which he had traversed from the last Assizes to tho present, for making talse returns of Inquests which had never come under his cognizance, making tho living dead, whereas they liad not " S'IUfiled otf this mortal coil," bnt rose up in judgment against him, for which the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of £ 50 to fhe King, and to be confined one week ill York Castle, and further to be imprisoned until that fine be paid, and to vacate his situation of Coronet" for the county, which he has since resigned. We believe, that this is the first instance of the kind upon record of so singular a circumstance. In the recent case tried at Lancaster, relative to Exchequer bills stolen from Mr. Capel Leigh, at the Tennis. court, London, the prosecutor of Lucas and Wynne applied to the court for his expenses. Mr. Justice Bayley said he could not think of saddling the county of Lancaster with large expenses, be- cause a gentleman was so imprudent as to put £ 3000 into his pocket, and go to a place like the Tennis- court. Mr. Leigh ought to bear the whole expense. It would be a wholesome lesson to him. TRICKS UPON' TRAVELLERS — A respectable far- mer from the neighbourhood of this city, had a narrow escape on Thursday night; he had been iu town some days, and on Thursday a young mail named Davies contrived to get acquainted with him, and they spent the day in seeing the sights of Lon- don. In the evening they went to a public- house, when, after some attempts to ascertain the strenglli of the farmer's purse, Oavies was seen to go out, and on his return to pour from a phial some liquid into the farmer's rum- and- water— the person v. ho witnessed the act interfered, and it was soon ascer- tained the scoundrel had purchased six- penny worth of laudanum, the whole of which he had intended to give his unsuspecting companion. Davies has been committed to take his trial for the atrocious attempt. — Worcester Herald. In the Court of Chancery, on Saturday, the Lord Chancellor said, that the holding of a Spring Assize ill Cumberland" had had the etfect of doubling litigation, by opening a shop for it twice a- year." Ou I rfday evening, Beuj- Hall, Esq. the principal partner in the Banking firm of Hall and Co. of Dublin, while sitting in a private box at Dmry- lane Theatre, suddenly dropped down ill a fit. He was conveyed into a private room, and medical assist- ance procured, but without avail, as life was quite extinct. He was between 60 and 70 years of age. Eighty of Mr. Cobbett's friends dined together at Norwich on Saturday; Sir T. Beevor, who is atixious to get him into Parliament, in the chair. Mr. Cob- bett, on his health being drunk, made a long speech on cash payments, the taxes, the bank- note system, & c.; and contended that when £ 1 notes were with, drawn, the £ 5 ones must follow— that prices must fall as paper disappears— that if Ministers suppress the small notes, wheat ere long will be 3s. 9d. the new scientific bushel— and that then the landlords will be ruined, and their estates go to the fund- holders. The Old South Sea House, in Broad- street, London, formerly the Excise Office, and of late let out in chambers to merchants, was oil Thursday morning destroyed by fire: no lives were lost. Great Steeple Chase for 2000 Sovereigns.— Friday, this interesting match, which has for some months excited the attention of all the sporting classes, and on which more money has been^ betted than on any similar event for many years, was decided at Melton Mowbray. The match was between Lord Kennedy and Captain Ross, to ride from Barkby Holt to fiillesdon Coplow ( two covers in the Qucrndon Hunt), a distance of five miles, as the crow fiies; Captain Ross to ride for himself, and Capt. Douglas for his Lordship. The betting oil the match has been at evens, though, in some instances, 6 to 5 have been laid on Capt. Ross. At an early hour oil Friday morning, a numerous concourse of sportsmen, including all the members of the different Huuti about Melton Mowbray, were at Barkby Holt, to witness the start; aud a neck and tieck race was anticipated by those who knew the qualities of the horses and their riders, but that expectation was completely disappointed. At a signal given by the umpires, the parties started at a terrible slashing pace, Capt. R. leading; at the first fence in his route, Captain Douglas made a leap, but his horsa not clearing it fell; nothing daunted, he again dashed at the fence, but a second time fell, and this decided the race at once— he was seen no more in it. Captain Ross, on the contrary, made a straight forward course across the country, to the winning point, and having it all his own way, cleared his leaps, and won, of course, without a struggle. The result disappointed hundreds. Immense suras ar » last oa tiie occasion. 5AJLOFIAW JOU1RNAJL. AMP COUMIEK < OW WAJLES, ? OR TILE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. Of tSj* $} ft0t. NO.

Safe Bi& Ho ® 1 IDiutJfltB* L tils Lordship was ( he fifth and youngest son of the first Viscount Barrington, being bora the 26th of May, 1734, a few weeks only after the death of his father. After an education at Eton and Oxford, v. here he was for sonte years Ee!! ow of Merton College, he entered into holy orders, was appointed Chaplain to King George II. and afterwards to his late Majesty. In 1761, he was made Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, and a few years afterwards Residentiary of St. Paul's. This last- mentioned preferment, the inabilily of Mrs. Bavrington to bear tbe confined air of tbe house of residence, induced hint, at a time when he could ill afford such a sacrifice of income, to exchange for a cauonry of Windsor. lie might, perhaps, residing in some other part of London, have contrived to present himself at the proper hours in bis stall at the cathedral; but this, be felt, was not sufficient; and he would not permit himself to retain a station, of which he could not really and effectually dis- charge the duties. In 1763, he was consecrated Bishop of IJatidaff; and continued in that see till 1783, when he was translated to Salisbury. In 1791, he succeeded Dr. Thomas Thurlo'. v, in the opulent see of Dur- ham. , The qualities of this distinguished prelate wore such as will ever make his name renowned in the history of the English Church. His learning Was vurioi:*, and extended through all the brauches of knowledge connected with his profession. As a preacher, he was in his day of no mean order; and as a speaker in the House of Lords, he was always heard with attention and respect. For his highest preferments he was mainly in- debted lo his own merit, and to the favour which that merit procured him with his late excellent Majesty. In fact, although his first elevation to the bench was owing to the influence of his brother, Viscount Barriugton, at lhat time Secre- tary of War, yet his subsequent advancement was, in each instance, the act of the king himself. His translation to Salisbury, in particular, was con- trary to the earnest and repeated instances of the minister of the day, the Earl of Shelburnr, who was anxious to obtain that see for a political friend and partisau of his own, the late Bishop Hinch- cliffe. His final promotion to the bishopric of Durham, was the unsolicited act of the same gra- cious and royal patron; but not without the hearty coucurrence of Mr. Pitt, who, in deference to the merits of Bishop Barrington, no less than to the wishes of his sovereign, was content to waive the pretensions of at least one candidate of pow erful connexions and high parliamentary interest. The conduct of this prelate in the government of three dioceses in succession, during the long, perhaps unexampled, period of 57 years, was marked by the most exemplary zeal, diligence, kindness, and discretion. In him, the clerical de- linquent never failed to find a vigilant and resolute assertorof the offended discipline of the Church; while that most useful and meritorious of all cha- racters, the faithful parish priest, was cheered by his favour and rewarded by his patronage. As a patron, indeed, he stood pre- eminent. Never, perhaps, have the rich dignitaries in the gift of the see of Durham, been bestowed with so much attention, to the claims of merit. It repeatedly happened, that his most opulent preferments were conferred on persons utterly unknown to him, ex- cept by their characters and their literary labours. The instance of Paley Is one of several: — the first communication he ever received from Bishop Har- rington, was the announcement of bis appointment lo the rich Rectory of Bishop Wcarmoulh; and, we believe, the first time they ever saw each other, was when collation was given. The exer- cise of patronage was, indeed, uniformly regarded by him as involving duties of tbe most solemn and important kiud; aud it is a proof of the uncommon firmness, as well as integrity, of his mind, that although his life was protracted so far beyond the ordinary limits of mortal existence, he preserved himself to the last, unfettered by the ties of con- sanguinity, orpersonal favour, iu the free discharge of this great trust. How well he continued to discharge it, was evinced within a very few weeks before his death ; when one of the most valuable of the stalls of Durham becoming vacant, he availed himself of the occasion, to advance at once the three distin- guished names bf Gisborne, Sumner, and Gilly. Next to the exemplary discharge of the duties ofa patron, he was conspicuous in the eyes of the world by his princely munificence. There was no fcherne of useful charity which bad not his name among the foremost contributors : and there were even few institutions for the advancement of any object of public utility, particularly for the culti- vation of tb. e fine arts, of which he was not a generous supporter. But, large as were his acts of public munificence, they bore but a small pro portion to tbe deeds of private nnobtrusiva charity which were the daily occupation of his life. Un numbered are the object3, who were blessed by his bounty, and whose tears are now flowing iu vain regret for the benefactor whom they have lost. His bounties, indeed, were of no ordinary kind. They were. dispensed, on suiiableoccasions, with a liberality which not even his ample means could have enabled him to indulge, had it not been sustained by a just aud exact economy. No one, perhaps, ever better understood the true value of money, or employed it more judiciously as the instrument of virtue. In keeping- up thesiate of his princely see, there | was a sober magnificence, a decent splendour, which singularly befitted that solitary and grace- ful instance of a Protestant Ecclesiastical Lord. Those who have seen him preside at the Assizes at Durham, cannot fail to have been struck with the happy union cf the Cishop and the Nobleman, in the whole of his dignified deporfment. But the same union, joined to the charms of tbe most win- ning courtesy, shed a grace over his ordinary manners, which secured to him the respect of all who approached him. Few men have so rarely experienced personal rudeness from any one. Though for the last few years of his life he necessarily lived ill a stale of comparative retire- ment, yet almost to t'le last he was in the habit of frequently receiving at his table a few guests, rarely exceeding eight in number at a time.- - I'hose who have been of his parties, ( and among them are included many of the most eminent in literature and science,) have never failed to come away impressed with admiration of the singular talents of their venerable host in leading fhe con- versation of the day. Without effort, and without artifice, he had recourse to such topics as inte- rested all, and yet drew forth in turn the peculiar talents of each. His own talk was cheerful, lively,. and even humorous; but at the same time ever assuming a tone of manly indignation al the mention of a deed of wickedness, and of the warmest sympathy for unmerited distress. A religious spirit pervaded the whole, aud he rarely omitted a fit occasion of quietly exciting similar feelings in the minds of those around him. Reli- gion, indeed, was the great presiding principle of his mind. No man could be more uniformly sensi- ble of the uncertainty of life, or made the con- sideration of it more constantly the monitor aud guide of his actions. But bis religion had in it nothing gloomy, nothing morose. Though strongly and deeply impressed with a belief of the great articles of orthodox faith, and of the necessity of preserving the Protestant Ascendancy, he was eminently charitable in his judgment of all who differed from him. With pious Dissenters he lived on terms of mutual regard and respect; and he chose for his confidential lawyer the distinguished Roman Catholic Barrister, Mr. Charles Butler, of Lincoln's Inn. His bodily constilution was of uncommon firm- ness. He reached the great age of 92 with rare and light attacks of sickness; and when at length a stroke of paralysis, about five weeks ago, de- prived him of the use of some of his members, he made such efforts towards recovery, that it ap- peared probable that his death nyiglit still be remote. Happily, he had little or no bodily suf- fering; and his mind was unclouded almost to the last. That he contemplated his approaching end with resignation, and even with thankfulness for the absence of acute pain, is a particular which seems to follow, as of course, from the general tone and temper of his life. FURTHER ACCOUNT. His Lordship was twice married, but left no children. His first wife was Lady Diana Beauclerc, a daughter of thcDuke ofSt. Alban's. His second lady was daughter and heiress of Sir John Guise, Bart, of Gloucestershire. It might be injustice to say of the deceased Bishop, that lie bad long enjoyed the rank and emoluments of liis sacred office, without adding the testimony of those best acquainted with the general habits and character of bis life, that he had diligently and faithfully fulfilled the duties imposed upon him. The Bishop of Durham was gifted with uncommon tenderness and benevolence of disposition. His acts of mu- nificence, though deliberate and discriminating, we have reason to believe were as frequent as they were void of ostentation. It has been stated with perfect truth, that although the Bishop of Durham was inspired with a well founded and conscientious dread of the political results of admitting Catholics I to exercise the powers of a Protestant State, he exhibited a practical and laudable example of the triumph of that class of feelings which bind us t- j our distressed fellow Christians. At a well- known era in our modern history, when a large body of foreign ecclesiastics found that refuge in Pro- tesfant England which, amongst people of their own faith and blood, had been denied to them, the Bishop of Durham was a hospitabie and generous protector to many of those unfortunate exiles. On the whole, the late Bishop may, without un- fairness to the general character of the Eug- lish bench, be described as one of its most respectable members, — employing great wealth with liberality, considerable power with moderation, much zeal with meekness and charity, and extensive learning with the industry of a conscientious clergyman, with the modesty of a gentleman, and for the most important of all human ends— the service of true religion and virtue. His publications, which were first collected in 1811, consist of: — A sermon, preached before the Lords, Westininster- abliey, 1772. A si'r: nOft, preached befoie the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts, Feb. 17, 1775. A senium, preached befure the Lords, Fust. day, Feb. 27,1799. A charge delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Salisbury, 1783. Four charges delivered to the clergy of the Diocese of Durham, between the years 1791 ami 1810. A charge delivered to the Churchwardens of the Diocese of Durham, 1801. A Leiter to the Clergy of Ihe Dioecse of Salisbury, and a Circular Letter to Ihe Acting Magistrates of the County Palatine of Durham.— Morning Paper. the following number perished from hunger:— llenry Davis ( a Welsh boy); Alex.

His Majesty's ship Blonde came iu sight, and to our relief, in lat. 44,43, N. l'ong. 21,57. W. Words are quite inadequate to express our feelings, as well as those which Lord Byron - and our deliverers most evidently possessed, when they found they had come lo rescue six of their fellow. creatures ( two of them females) from a most awful lingering death. It came on to blow during the night a fresh gale, which would, no doubt, have swept us all overboard. Lieut. Gambier came in the ship's cutter to bring us front the wreck — he observed to us 1 you have yet, I perceive, fresh meat;' fo which we were compelled to reply, 4 No, Sir, it is pait of a man, one of our unfortunate crew! it was our intention to put ourselves on an allowance even tf Ibis footl this everting, had not you come to our relief.' The master's wife, who underwent all the most horrid sufferings which the human under- standing can imagine, bore them much heller than could 1 possibly have been expected. She is now, although I much emaciated, a respeclahle good- looking woman, about twenty- five years of age, and Ihe mother of a hoy seven years of nge. But, what must he the extremity of want to which she was driven* when she eat the brains of one of the apprentices, saying it was the most delicious thing she ever tasted, Ann Saunders, the other female, had more strength in. her calamity than most of ihe men; she performed the duty of cutting up and cleaning the dead bodies, keeping two knives in her monkey jacket; and when the breath was announced lo have flown, she would sharpen her knife, bleed ihe deceased in the neck, drink his blood, and cut hini up us usual. From want of water, those who perished drank their own urine, anil salt- water : they became foolish, Crawling upon their hands round the deck ( when they could), and died generally raving mad." I- ord Byroti and the officers of Ihe Blonde have subscribed £ 100, and the ship's company £ 100, towards the relief of the sufferers. the moderate counsels and views of the King. The death of his Majesty, however, deprived them of a legitimate head, and, consequently, of much influence; and, unless they have much influence with the army and the people, it will, doubtless, be difficult for them to change the Succession. The Constitutionalists will scarcely be able to lift up their heads, until their fellows in Spain acquire poweV, and the French armies in the country be beaten out or withdrawn. England, we presume, will be rather disposed to a change, in the suc- cession, should Dou Pedro not return. The views of France are doubtful as to this measure. Austria, we presume, wiil favour Miguel; Russia cannot object to a change of succession, since Nicholas enioys bis crown by the Setting aside of Co'nstan- tine ; but how these different views and interests of the different states will bear upon the settle- ment of the Portuguese crown is yet to be seen, and no one can anticipate it with any certainty. We think, however, that it is a case in which the iuauence of other Courts will, very naturally, interfere, and will have much plausibility for interfering. If they are agreed as to the pacifi- cation of Europe, and have already conceded some- thing to each other iu the late negociations, in order to secure and maintain that object, they will take the most tranquillizing policy as to Portugal, and throw their influence into the scale of the present Ministry, whose wish it probably is to pursue the views of the late King, and, in order to avoid the extremes on both sides, to raise one of the female branches to the throne, and to exclude the Second brother. Should Don Pedro, however, put in his claim, the affair, as involving Brazil, will be tiae more intricate, and will not be speedily arranged. The case of Spain continues as unsettled as at any former period, but is more indicative of a coming crisis. The Constitutionalists begin again, oecaj sionally, to show themselves, and will, probably, increase in number as the ceuntry increases in distress. That distress is, manifestly, accumu- lating-. To prevent some violent convulsion, it ought to be assuaged; but the means of a measure so imperative have not been discovered. There appears scarcely any law, revenue, or commerce; the great springs of national activity are borne down by the dead weight of misgovernment, and the public mind is, therefore, driven sullenly to hdpe for relief from almost any change. A VERY CHEAP AND STRONG FENCE. f& tissjellaneous Intelligence. HORRIBLE SHIPWRECK. Wednesday, the Blond frigate, Capt. Lord Byron^ arrived at Portsmouth from the Sandwich Islands, whither she conveyed Ihe bodies of their late King I and Queen, with the Chiefs who had accompanied them to England. On her departure Ihe Blonde was literally laden with stock and provisions of every description by the natives, who refused payment for any thing they could supply the ship. At Karakokooa Bay, where Captain Cook was killed, Lord Byron erected a simple monument to the memory of the great circumnavigator. The dagger with which Capt. Cook was killed is in the possession of a literary gentleman of the Blonde, who has collected many new, interesting, and curious particulars relative to his death, and of the past history of these islanders. The Blonde bas brought home a great collection of natural history, with surveys, drawings, of several groups of islands in ( he Pacific. Mr. M'Rae, col- lector of the Horticultural Society, returned in her, with 12 chests of rare plants and seeds. On the evening of ( he 7th inst. the Blonde fell in with the Frances Mary, 398 tons, from St. John's, New Brims wick, bound to Liverpool; she was a complete wreck and water logged, and only kept afloat by her cargo of timber: all her boift' were washed away. The crew had undergone unparalleled and unheard- of suffering. Before two hours had elapsed from the shipping the first sea, ( he whole of ( he crew and passengers, in all sixteen souls, were compelled ( o get up in the main top with only a few pounds of biscuit, where Ihey remained five d iys; with the remainder of their scanty siock of bread, ( hey kept themselves in existence for five days more, when the cravings of nature, scarcely supplied in any one way for the apace of ten days, compelled them to live on the corpses of their deceased feMbw- sufferers, and drink their blood, and thus for the space of twenty- two days they subsisted in this horrible manner. We make tbe following extract from a narrative by one of the survivors, contained iti the Hampshire Telegraph: 4t Feb. 11. Saw a large ship to the northward ; did not speak'tier ; wore head to the north, ward.-— Feb. 15 All our provisions were out; suffered much from hunger, having received no nourishment for nine days! -~ Feb. 21.

Moore died, and was thrown overboard, having eaten part of him, such as the liver and heart,— From this date to Saturday the 5th March, A durable dead hedge may be made on the top of a bank, to project outwards, with short larch stakes driven into the bank about nine inches apart, and slightly bound with long slender black thorns; aud as both the larch and black thorns are very durable, it will last a long time, and answer exactly to keep oul strong battle and sheep, which will never get over after it is made, although Ihey cannot be kept iu the pasture with ( he common hedge. Short larch stakes, about two or two and a half feet long, arc sufficient. The lops of the larches will do. Similar fences may also be made with larches, leav- ing the side branches on, shortened to about six or nine ittfhes in length, driving ( hem in the bank so as the side- spurs touch each o( her ; and as the larch is so durable, and ( he wood becomes very hard when dried, it will answer the same end. This is tbe best and cheapest fence that can he formed to protect the bottoms of hedges from ( he browsing of sheep and cattle; and by projecting outwards a little, it gives both room and light for ( lie lower branches to grow and fill up; and from being in ( fiat position, it pre- vents ( he cattle from reaching over ( o browse, as the sharp ends of the stakes come in cnutact with their throats, and will not give way the seme as when they are in an upright position; the lower branches can never grow and expand when s( ufFed full and close al the bottom with elead wood, which causcs hedges lo be naked, and open at the bottom. Another purpose to which larches ore applicable, is for a rural fence near gardens, gentlemen's parks, or shrubberies as paling; and fcr fencing young single trees in fields or lawns, from four to six and seven feet long, and about the. size of a good hedge- stake, according to the purposes for which they are wanted ; but these must be larches that have not been injured by broom, or any thing that has hurt or deprived them of side- shoots. By cutting the side branches off with a bill or hook, at a ejuick stroke, from ( he root towards the top, leaving a spur from about an inch, to an inch and half, the lower ones, aud two ( o three inches ( he upper ones, all the length of the slake ; by leaving the spurs longer at the smaller end than ihe thick end, the spurs touch each other from bottom lo top, when nailed against the rail. The larches should be straight aud well furnished wiih spurs from the bottom to the top. It will take about nine in a yard, and wrH keep out poultry, dogs, eats, hares, and rabbits: it is a handsome fence, and is much admired for ils neatness atid rural appearance, and will cause a very great eh mane! for ihe larches lo make it. It is well adapted for Close paling round ( lower gardens, shrubberies, farmer's gardens, & c. and for other paling round parks, and against young ejuick or any kind of hedge; as they will last while any ejuick- hedge will be- come a fence, answer beller than flat- sawn or cloven paling, and look much neater. Anolher nielhod of disposing of the larches is, making crates tor packing glass or earthenware in: a larch about Ihe thickness a person can grasp with bis hand at three feet six inches from the ground, is size sufficient for ihe glass crates. Tbe larch slakes from three to four feet long, are useful to nurserymen, or those who grow cabbage, turnip, or other garden seeds for sale, who require stakes to support them, which may be boused when not in use, and will last for many years. The larch that cannot be sold, will make charcoal nnd the side- branches cut off, will, from their lasting quality, answer well lo put in wet parts of roads in the woods, to prevent the timber carriages culling Ihem deep, and are a very cheap and ready material in wet seasons; the smaller fanned branches, or these with numerous small twigs on them, are very good to iheller peas, seed- beds of tender plunls, or for pro. tecliug seeds newly sown or coming up, from birds, and for fruit- trees in blossom in Ihe spring; ihey are preferable to evergreens, as ihe larch admits ( he light similar to nels, aud may be easily struck under the main branches; no doubt there are various other purposes Ihey may be: applied lo, but these are suffi- cient to induce genllemen to begin to prune and to thin out at an earlier period than is generally thought necessary.

The death of the King of Portugal will have the effect, probably, of involving the affairs both of that kingdom and the Empire o£ the Brazils in some confusion. That the succession to the crown of Portugal has been renounced by Don Pedro is, at least, questionable,— there is no evidence of it ; and it is natural to inquire, how he will act. Will he renounce the American or the European diadem, or will he attempt to lay his hand on both ? Should he attempt to transfer the Brazilian throne to a junior branch of the family, the experiment will be hazardous; and still more so, if he should en- deavour to reunite both. Portugal will not submit to be governed by a Viceroy, and thus sink in rank before the new Transatlantic Empire; and, should Don Pedro leave America, that event will, proba- bly, be the signal of revolt there, as against an at- tempt to destroy the independence which has so lately been conferred upon Brazil by treaty. Should the Emperor of B- stzil have renounced his hereditary claim, or be induced to do so, the prospect for Portugal is not of the most favourable kind. There are there three parties. Tbe first is the present ruling one. They have stood be- tween the Constitutionalists 0: 1 tiie one hand, the Queen's and Don Miguel's party on the other. Of this put- ty, the King was the head, and when, during his sickness, the Regency was conferred, neither on the Queen nor Don Miguel, but 011 a daughter, they gave sufficient proof of their wish to uphold the present state of things, and to pursue J weak to oppose tlieoi.- As EAGLE CAUGHT IN SHROPSHIRE.— About the middle of January last, a large brown eagle was caught in the garden of Thomas Swing- wood, a labouring man, residing at Lapley- heatb, near Cheswardine,- Salop. The bird had been attracted to the spot by the entrails of a pig which had just been killed, and Swingwood endeavoured to secure' it by ordinary means in vain. At length he hit upon the expedient of setting a large rat- trap to which he. fastened a dung- fork, aud this ultimately proved successful, although tha powerful bird, after becoming entrapped, actually rose and flew a considerable distance with the trap and dung- fork suspending from one of its claws! When caught, it had a chain about a foot long and a yard and half of cord fastened to one of its legs by a leathern strap: it is a good specimen of the' species, being in fine plumage, and the wings when expanded measure, from tip to tip, eight feet. The poor man, in whose possession it now is, would; doubt- less, be glad to restore it to the owner or to dispose of it, as the voracious bird devours an amasing quantity of food.— Staffordshire Advertiser. The velocity which birds of prey exert when in pursuit was exemplified in a singular manner at Nuttwell- court, the seatof SirTrayton F. E. Drake, Baft, on Thursday morning. One of the maid- servants had been sweeping the library, and was stooping to take up the dirt, close to the window which overlooks the lawn, when a violent blow f'om ,:. is outside shivered one of the panes of thick plate- glass to atoms, and the girl immediately ran cut of the library, exclaiming that she had been shot at. Captain Fuller, the brother of Sir Trayton Drake, being iii an adjoining room, and hearing the noise, came out to investigate the cause, which he soon ascertained to have proceeded from the attack of a buzzard- hawk, then lying dead a few ards from the windo^ f. The bird had probably been attracted by the girl's cap, as she stooped down, aud in the violence of his attack on the sup posed quarry had broken the. glass, and with it the thread of liisowu existence/ The glass was nearly a quarter of an inch thick. FATAL PUGILISM.— Young Flowers, son of the Gloucestershire smith, who defeated the late Moss, the Hath tinman, killed a man, in combat, on Satur day, at Bartou Wells, on the bofders of Worcester- shire and Gloucestershire. It was a match for 25 sovs. aside, and ihe fight was a most sanguinary one of fifty minutes duration. Suffield, the deceased also a blacksmith, " from Warminster, Wilts.

The Emperor Alexander's Funeral Procession.— Extract from a private letter from Moscow, dated Feb. 28, 1826-.—" The body of the late Emperor passed through this city last week.— The procession was a mile and a quarter long, and was an hour and five minutes in passing. The order of the pro cession was this. First came trumpeters, soundiu solemn blasts every minute; then a squadron cavalry, followed by fifty- two horses covered wi black cloth, each having the arms of the separate governments displayed on their sides; after these came a horse richly caparisoned, called " the Horse of Joy," and then followed a warrior in armour of gold, named " the Herald of Joy;" immediately after him came another warrior in black armour, denominated " the Herald of Mourning," followed by a horse, similarly caparisoned, and called " the Horse of Mourning;" the order of the two warriors in the procession being reversed. Then followed the Priests, to the number of about one thousand, dressed in their sacerdotal robes, and many of them bearing standards; after these ecclesiastics was carried a large golden lantern, containing a number of candles— an emblem of Light; then followed- the crossj and afterwards a portrait of theVirgiu Mary; next n order came the Funeral Car, ( on which the Coffin, containing the body of the deceased Emperor, was placed,) decorated with flesh- coloured satin, ermine, and ostrich feathers, and highly ornamented with - i'tver, and drawn by eight horses. Numbers of General officers followed, closed by several regiments. A FRENCH MILITARY HOSPITAL.— While I was lying here ( at Salamanca) sick and wounded were constantly brought iu from the ( French) army, and I hatl an opportunity of observing how many lives were lost through the barbarity of the attendants. A soldier of the 39th regiment of the line, who was brought in very ill, had a bed directly opposite to me, and we often conversed together. He told me that he bad got some money about him, and that he would willingly pay the attendants if they would nurse him properly. I dissuaded him from this, aud warned hint by the relation of several occur- rences i had witnessed during my stay; but, in spite of my advice, he trusted lo the medical attendants, and allowed his purs? of money to be seen He got every day worse; and one night the mcdical attendant and his worthy colleagues, who had btcime impatient that he did not depart in peace, ai d leave them in possession of his property, filled hi siouth with water, and held it close till he was sttfforited !!

Upon the Surgeon Major coining to visit me, 1 related the whole occurrence. They confessed their crime, and were shot without mercy. In this manner numbers of soldiers lost their lives. In the breast of th? se wretches every feeling of humanity was extinct; they were actuated only by a thirst of gain ; and without reflecting that they deprived their country ofa protector, aged parents of a support, or infant children of u father, they murdered every one whom j they knew was possessed of money, aud was too — Adventures of a Rifleman. GEORGE THE FOURTH.— No Monarch ever oc- cupied this throne, whose whole public conduct has been more justly calculated to endear him to his Subjects; than that of liis present Majesty. And uot only at home is his Majesty's life and reign a topic of genei- al interest and applause, but throughout every foreign state, in which the name of the British Government is known and recog- nized, we will venture to say,- that the personal conduct aud character of the Kiug is held in a degree of respect and admiration, which insures to his subjects the blessings of peace upon the sufest foundation. In the choice of Ilia Ministers, the King has been both fortunate and consistent; but we greatly err if his Majesty's personal cha- racter has not been, from the time of his accession to the throne, the great bond of union at home, and of respect and confidence abroad. To all the qualities ( aud they are not few) which Unite to form the character of a gerttleman, the King adds that excellent readiness of understanding, and firmness and consistency of purpose, which leave none who come about iiiin in any way his superior. Respect for him is not derived from a sense of his station alone, but from qualities which show how that station is filled and adorned; ar. d we ar therefore, sure that we express only the feelings of every right- judging man in the kingdom, when we say, that the anSious wishes of the whole nation can be but as those of one man— that the life of his Majesty may long be spared to adorn the kingly office, and to benefit the people he reigns over. ABDUCTION.— By statute, 3 Henry VII. c. 12, it is enacted, that if any person shall, for lucre, take any woman, being maid, widow, or wife, and having Substance either in goods or lands, or being heir apparent to her ancestors, contrary to her will; and afterwards she be married to such misdoer, or by his consent to another, or defiled; such person, his procurers, and abettors, and such a3 knowingly receive such woman, shall be deemed principal felons; and by 39 Eliz. c. 9, the benefit of clergy is taken away from all such felons, who shall be principals, procurers, or accessaries before the fact. The following case is mentioned in the continua- tion of Rapin:—" During this Session of Parliament ( 1690, 3d William and Mary), happened an incident which made a great noise: Capt. James Campbell, brother to the Earl of Arg- yle, assisted by Mr Archibald Montgomery, and Sir John Johnston, on the 14th of November, forcibly seized on Miss Mary Wharton, daughter and heiress of Sir Geo. Wharton, a fortune, as it was said, of £ 50,000, and about 13 years of age. She was carried away from her rela- tions in Great Queen- street, and married against her will. The next day his Majesty issued his royal proclamation for apprehending Mr. Campbell, and the abettors of this unwarrantable action; and Sir John Johnston being apprehended, was tried, con- demned, and executed at Tyburn, notwithstanding relations of the brid. c, to save his life; which was thought the harder, as it appeared upon his trial, Miss Wharton had given evident proofs, that the violence Captain Campbell used was not so much against her will as her lawyers endeavoured to make it. Not long before, there was a Bill brought into the House of Commons to prevent clandestine marriages, which it was thought this incident would have accelerated, but it dropped. However, another Bill was brought into the House of Commons the 4th of December, to render void the marriage between Miss Wharton and Mr. Campbell, which, notwithstanding the Earl of Arg- yle petitioned gainst it, iu behalf of his brother, passed both Eiouses by the 13th of December." HORRIBLE MURDER IN IRELAND.— At Tralee, on the 21st of March, Thomas Lovett, and Johanna ovett his wife, were convicted of the murder of homas Creane, the late husband of the prisoner Johanna. They effected their dreadful purpose by strangling the poor man, and Creane's son, a lad twelve years of age, proved their guilt, by deposing that he saw his mother assisting Lovett in the murder, by squeezing the throat of their unfortunate ctim. SINGULA ® CASE.— A case was tried at the Cam bridge Assizes rather of a singular nature. The prisoner w> as Elijah Poppy, a sturdy specimen of he wandering race called gipseys: he was charged with having feloniously stolen a certain quantity o mutton, from the premises of John Crisp, farmer, of Swaffham Prior. It appeared in itidence, that one of farmer Crisp's sheep died of some distemper, and the shepherd flayed it, cut up the quarters, and hung them up in a part of the farm- yard for the food of the dogs. The prisoner, who had been prowling about the premises for some tirae, was attracted by the " unsavoury fare ;" and envying the canine species their intended banquet, he car- ried off the hind quarters to regale himself and his companions. The fact of his taking the thing stolen was clear enough, as the " mainour" was found on him -. and he admitted he had taken it to eat. It was the more evident that his object was to satisfy the cravings of appetite, as he did not steal the skin, which hung near the carcase. This is an instance of what a state of ravening want may exist in this country, when a man hazards the penalties of a felony in snatching away the food that was thrown aside for the dogs! The Court having- summed up, the Jury deliberated some time. When they had at length agreed, the Foreman said, " We find the prisoner Not Guilty, because we consider the thing stolen, not as mutton, but car- rion, and of no value." The prisoner was accord- ingly discharged, to th'e no small satisfaction of several of his gipsey brethren, who were anxiously awaiting the issue of the case, but whose skill in " fortune- telling" did not enable them exactly to predict so favourable au event. CHANCERY COMMISSION REPORT.— This Re- port has at length issued from the press, and consists of live or six hundred folio pages. The Commissioners give it as their clcar and unanimous opinion, that " the general plan upon which the proceedings in the equitable jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery are founded, is as well calculated as any system that could be devised, to secure the sound administration of justice."— The principal object of the Commis- sioners appears lo have been " the endeavour to dis- cover whether ( he administration of justice tinder the existing system was not capable of improvement, and to suggest whatever might appear to them likely to produce that improvement," Willi this view they have analysed the existing rules of practice, and after considering them singly, as applicable to each suc- cessive stage ofa suit, they have submitted one hun- dred and eighty- eight propositions of their own, under the head of improvements. After the report come the propositions, aud after the propositions an explanatory paper drawn up by Mr. Beanies, one of the Commis- sioners well known to the profession as the associate of Mr. Vescy, iti the judicial reports which bear tlieir joinl names. This, again, is followed by tbe evidence of fifty- three professional gentlemen, and by forty returns from official persons. Two other parts of the appendix are promised, but have not yet gone through the press.— The report does not stop at the mere question of practice; it considers tbe forms of pleading, the making various persous parties to a suit, the superintendence of trustees, the demurring to a bill in whole or part, ike. the employment of solicitors, the distribution of business among counsel in differeu courts, the dulies of clerks in court, and of tbe six clerks, the question of costs, contumacy, & c. & c.- In respect to withdrawing business from the Court of Chancery, some points of subordinate importance are touched upon ; but the great business of bankruptcy, il is decidedly said, ought not to be withdrawn from Ihe Lord Chancellor. A material improvement, how- ever, is proposed in the appointment of ten Com- missioners of Bankrupts to act as a court of Appeal from the ordinary Commissioners, three of them sitting iu rotation for that purpose; aud il is also suggested lhat the time for hearing bankrupt petitions should be extended. It is recommended lliat the Vice- Chancel- lor's Court should be put oil. the same independent fooling as the Roils, and means are proposed to restrain frivolous appeals from both those Judges IN the Lord Chancellor. The Report is signed by tin following Commissioners:— Lords Eldou, Kedesdale, and Gifford, Sir John Leach, Sir Charles Wethcrell, Dr. Lushiuglon, and Messrs. Cox, Hart, Courtenaj, Smilli, Lttlledalc, Merivale, Tnnlal, and Beanies. Il appears by the evidence appended lo the Chancery Report, that the property now vested in securities, io the name of the Accouiitant- General of the Court ol Chancery, amounts to upwards of 38 millions. CALCULATION OF LONDON CONSUMPTION — The fiuits and vegetables consumed iu the metropolis are principally produced in the environs; and it is calculated that there are upwards of 6,000 acres of ground cultivated as gardens within twelve mites of ihe metropolis, giving employment to 30,000 person's in winter, and three times that number in summer. Numerous calculations have been made of the annual consumption of food in ihe metropolis; lint this is" not easily ascertained. The number of Calt'esold in Smithfield market, in the year 1822, were 149,885 beasts, 24,600 calves, 1,507,096 sheep, and 20,020 pigs. This dues not, however, by any means form- the total consumed in London, as large quantities of meat fn carcases, particularly pork, are daily brought from the counties round tbe metropolis. The total' value of the cattle sold in Smithfield is calculated at £ 8,500,000; and it is supposed that a million a year is expended in fruits and vegetables, The consuuip- tion of wheat amounts to a million of quarters annually ; of this four- fifths nre supposed In be made into bread, being a consumption of sixty- four mil. lions of quartern loaves every year in the metropolis- atone. Cntil within the last few years the price of bread was regulated by assize; and it may afford some idea of ibe vast amount of money paid for the staff of life when it is stated, that ail advance of one! farthing on the quartern loaf formed an aggregate increase iti expense, for this article alotip, of upwards of £ 13,00( 1 per week. The annual consumption of butler in London amounts to about 11,000, and that of chcese to 13,000 tons. Tbe money paid annually for milk is supposed lo amount to £ 1,- 250,000, The quantity of poultry annually consumed in Loudon is supposed to cost between £ 70,0110 and £ 80,000. That of game depends on tire fruilfulness of the sea- son. There is • nothing, hbwever, more surprising than the sale of rabbits. One salesman - n LeadeiYhalt market, during a considerable portion of the year, is saiil to sell 14,000 rabbits weekly. The way in whith he disposes of them is by employing between 150 ami 200 men ami women, who hawk them through the st reets. Cheltenham Races are this year likely to be well attended ; uot less than 15 horses, including Loug- waist, being already entered for the Gold Cup. PRICE OF RACE HORSES— During the Inst few years about tvvo thousand pounds has been Ihe maxi- mum for the best reputed colt of the year. Five thou- sand guineas were offered ami refused for the celc- brateti Smolensko before be went lo Epsom. In the Newmarket October Meeting, 1805. a bay two- year old colt, by Piptifor, sold for 15,000 guineas. A ehesnut two- year old colt by Beningborough ; a bay two- year old cult by Volunteer ; and a brown three- year old ti'ly ( Orange Girl), by Sir Peter, sold for 15,000 guineas each. Lord Filzwilliain refused SOTIt) uineas for Sir Paul, by Sir Peter, out of Pearl by Tandem. About half a century since, Lord Gros. enor offered Mr. Pijotl 10,000 for Shark, as the horse was leading off the course at Newmtv kct, to bra taken out of training II was reported, that O'Kelly efused nearly double that sum for bis Eclipse, reply- ing to the offer, that " all Betlford L. evel would not purchase Eclipse'* To go half a century further back, a report has been handed down from father to still, that a Welsh sportsman offtretl the Duke of Devonshire, for Flying Childers, the horse's weight in crowns ai^ d half- crowns, which the Noble Duke refused. Sir G. Bampfylde has declined an invitation to Stand for the representation of Exeter, with an intimation which spoke volumes, that the dear- bought honour had formerly cost his father above £ 80,000. The passage from Dover to Calais is likely to be unusually brisk this summer, owing to the . tunuai encampment * of the French army ( consisting of about 50,000) falling in rotation this year to the department of the Pas de Calais. It is slated, that tho head- quarters will be in the vicinity of St. Outer's, and the- army wilt be twiee reviewed, during its encampment, by tbe Kityg of France. - Af Derby Assizes, sentence of death was n co ' ed against Joseph' Goodridge and W, Rogers, for stealing in dwelling houses, aud W. Bennett and W. Lingard, for highway robbery, With respect to Lingard, it i* remarkable, that he committed the robbery, in com- pany with Bennett, within view of tbe gibbet ou which the bleaching bones of Ins brother were hanging, who was executed on the 18tb of March, 1815, for ( lis wilful murder of Hannah Oliver, a ptw> r widow woman, the toll- house keeper at Wardlaw Miers. The Westminster Dairy Company had a meeting on Wednesday, to consider whether they should relinquish or call for more money -. no decision was made, but the attorney seems to have the best milch cow belonging to the concern, as his bill amounts lo £ 1,100. Anfonj the curiosities of the present season, a document relative to another joint. stock company, nnd explanatory of Ihe state of ils concerns, bus been published. Tbe thing has been called the 11 Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex Rail road Company." To com- municate by rail- way between London and Ipswich seems to have been the professed design of the under- takers,— what their real object was, will best appear from 1 be balance- sheet, which gives credit to Ihe sub- scribers for a deposit of one pound on each of 3,343 shares, making just the same number of pounds sterling, as a snug little capital for the gentlemen undertakers to begin upon.— The public, of course, would like to know what advances were made in the projected work, with Ihe money thus confidently thrown in by the shareholders We may at once describe it by slating what was not done— namely, that not a yard of road was finished, nor of earth dog, nor of iron prepared— nay, that the mere authority to begin was never obtained for this Joint Stock Com- pany— the Secretary writing a letter to Ihe share, holders, wherein he quotes a resolution of the Direct- ors, lamenting the inadequacy of the funds, the depressed state of the money market, the prospect el- an opposition to the measure in Parliament, aud the consequent necessity of abandoning a scheme of which the difficulties ought to have been, but were not, foreseen, before people were— to use a vulgar phrase— ( t fobbed" out of their subscriptions. Now for a touch of what was done by the managers with the above £ 3,300 and upwards. Tbey paid for puffing ad. vertisements the sum of £ 492 ; for salaries to Messrs. the Clerks and Messenger, £ 558 ; for sending Mr- Secretary on his travels to sundry quarters, about £ 211; to tradesmen's bills ( what bills?) £ 32- 2; to payments by the solicitors ( what payments ?) £ 376 ; paid lo Mr. Palmer, an engineer, on acceunt, £] 00( t; besides which a debt has been contracted against the: Company for a further sum to the same gentleman, of £ 573; aud a debt to the solicitors— a pretty round one— of £ 771. Add a rent of £ 205, and we find an outlay of more than £ 4,500, of money actually fftmg into the mire, so far as there is any thing to shew for il— Yes— we forgot that furniture and maps are Sued al £ 1C0, and that a handsome balance of £ 180- still remains al the bankers'.
