CRNTLBM EN,, IShould be ungrateful were I not to come foiward and thank you for the almost miraculous cure your Antiscorbutic Drops have performed upon me. 1 had been afflicted for the last seventeen years with n dry scurvy, that completely covered my whole body with scales, attended with great beat and extreme pain. The scales multiplied to such a degree, that at certain times 1 w. as obliged to use grease or oil before I could move my. joints • and the bed on which I lay wtos completely covered wilh the scurf off my body Having tried all Antiscorbutic medicines and ointments, as well as warm and cold baths at all the places of note in the neighbourhood, without affording the least re- lief, I had given up all hopes of being cured, till seeing « letter rn Ihe liolton Express of a similar case to my own being cured by you, I was induced to try your • alliable medicine, which I am happy to say gave me the greatest relief, and before I had taken three of your 4 « . 0d. bottles, 1 experienced a complete cure, and am now as . free from blotch or scale as ever I was in my life, and enjoy perfect health. As the publication of the letter in the Bolton Express was the means of my applying to you, I trust you will allow this case of mine to JJO before the public, in hopes that it may reach the bands of the afflicted, aud render them the same com- fort I now experience.

PRIME NEW LEICESTER A nQi- rative fuller of painful interest than ( hfc subjoined has seldom, been perused. The heroic devotion of the fisherman who was instrumental in saving so many lives, and his generous sacrifices afterwards for their comfort, eanm t be too highly extolled :— His Majesty's sliip Tvne, Halifax, July 23. Sir,-- I have just arrived at this port, with 152 passengers, men, women, and children, saved from the wreck of the brig Dispatch, of Workington, com- manded by the late William Lancaster, who wa » drowned shortly after the vessel struck on a rock, three quarters of a mile from the main, and 18 nli'es eastward of Cape Ray. Tile mate ( a brother of llie master), and ihe crew, nine iu number, were all saved, and are with me. From the statement of the mate it appears, tlict the brig sailed from Londonderry, w itlt 200 passengers, on the 201 h of May, In, mid to Quebec; that from The iflili until the 29lli of June, they did not s< e ihe sun, ami from the 30lh to tlie 7th iust. they could, not get au observation ; on that day tliey liia'de tlie laud, which Ihev supposed was Cape Chapean Rouge. From that time lhe> had constant fog, but having run willi a S. E. wind, till it was supposed they were abreast of Cape Rav, tile course was alleied lit N. W. 1 N. about 5 p. ni on Thursday, the Itlili. At 6 p. m. a rock was discovered three points on tile lee- bow ; the helm was put down, but the brig struck almost immediately and filled. A n attempt was made lo laud the passengers from the lower studding sail Itoom, lint it failed. The pinnace was got out, and instantly stove ; the jolly boat was lowered lo try nnd save the women, but the surf was loo high, aud after banging on by a rope for three hours, the boat was thrown over the quarter, aud Ihe master . with tvto passengers who were in her drowned. The mate succeeded in gelling Ihe long- bout out, which fortunately swung clear of ilie brig, with about 30 passengers iu her; tliCy held oii all night by a rope from the bows, and the following morning, tlie mate nnd three seamen dropped from the jib huntil with two oars into llie boat, and landed on the main those in her. The stern of the brig fortu- nately fell on ihe rock when she parted, and the majority of the passengers gol to the rock by li rope from it. From Friday till Tuesday evening was oc. copied Iu getting them off in small parties, thrniigil it tiemendous surf, to the main. Four meii and leu children perished from fatigue on the rock, and between 30 und 40 were washed off, or fell between the brig and were drowned. Those who were saved are indebted for tiieir lives lo ihe exertions of a fisher- man named Harvev, residing with a wife and- eight children ou Dead Island, about four miles from the spot where the accident happened. He had picked up on Saturday evening, a keg and straw bed, Clo « e lo bis house, which led biiu lo suspect a shipwreck. The following morning ( Sunday) at daylight, he started in a boat only 12 feel, long, witli his eldest girl, aged 17, and eldest son, only 10, as bis crew, and by six o'clock reached Hie spnt where those landed at first in ihe long- boat, and olily six others who bad been got off the rock, with I lie w reck of the jolly boat, w hieli had been thrown on shore. Harvey's knowledge of the place and lides enabled him to direct the exertions of Ills mate and three seamen iu placing the boats. On Sunday evening at six p. iii. CO men, en, and children, Mere saved that night; during Monday, 30; d on Tuesday till who were alive ; the whole were obliged to strip to enable the sedmen iu the boats 10 drag them with a small line through the surf, and were afterwards barely covered with clothes washed on hole. Harvey during each night had conveyed to his house those most in want of support, and shared wiili them half of the stock of provisions provided for the support of his family till the aUturhn 5 the other half he gave to those on the beach. After all were saved, he made two trips to Port jinx Basques, with the first party, rind was about to return to the wreck for the remainder, when 1 arrived, iu consequence of intelli- gence lie. for warded lo Cape Ray, where this ship was. 1 remain, Sir, your obedient servant, R.

Some Account of the Limestone Quarri/, near liiddulph, Staffordshire. The formation of basaltic rocks has long been a subject of dispute with mineralogists. Some consider them a lava; and others, the produce of a fluid decomposition. The rocks in the neighbourhood of Mole Cop, in the parish of Biddnlph, are of the basaltic kind, and found in large masses in almost, every part of its vicinity— in confused heaps in every direction, and in such immense blocks as surprise every beholder. While gazing upon these natural ruins as they appear, one is led to imagine that nature has been again and again convulsed, so dreadfully, as to leave mournful monuments of her sufferings. One stone in Knypersley Park, the seat of John Bateman, Esq. which has fallen from the hill, is of the astonish- ing weight of 27 tons, by moderate computation, in girth 34 fc'ct 4 inches, and its round side 42 feet; having been accurately measured by H. H. Williamson, Esq. of Grcenway Bank. It has so fallen upon ( as to enclose on either side) two huge blocks, which, having previously fallen from the same rock, form an enclosure, while the first- mentioned one forms a cover- ing, and gives it the appearance of a cave. To this place, it is said, a man was banished from Knypersley Hall who had the plague, of which be was cured by the water which flows from the rock adjoining, and is still famous for scorbutic cases ; — that he became so attached to the place on this account, as to be determined to spend the remainder of his life there. From this man it took its name, " Gawton Stone." However difficult it may be to explain the forma- tion of these hills, a more formidable task presents itself, viz. the Limestone Rocks, which differ in quality from every other in the kingdom. They are within the county of Chester, and are found in a comparative valley on the north- west of these hills, and dip in a south- easterly direction. On the north- west side they are abruptly broken off, rest against the formation of free- stone,' Aud, instead of inclining with the formation of the surface, take a directly opposite course, and have no connection with any other limestone strata yet discovered. In getting the material, the soil was formerly removed from the surface, and got by what is called " open work ;" but its inclination being so steep, it was found difficult to follow it in this way, and roads are now driven through the solid rock to the distance of a mile or upwards, and the roof vary- ing from 7 fo 30 feet, being near 300 feet below the surface. The stone here is of so fine a grain, that it polishes like marble, and the petrified substances it contains give it a very beautiful appearance, very unlike other limestone rocks. The immense blocks that are blasted by means of gunpowder, may be procured of any size, and have neither rack nor bavin ; but where this is found, fine specimens of chrystallizations are produced of a deep cream colour, and throughout the mine small particles of copper are found; also petrefactions of oysters, cockles, eels, reeds, branches of trees, bones, horns, &. C. In the possession of H. II. Williamson, Esq. the proprietor, is a beautiful specimen of the antler of a stag. At the Wells Assizes, a fellow was charged with having stolen £ 330, in guineas, half- guineas, and seven- shilling pieces, from the house of a farmer. The prisoner and another man entered the house on an evening in December ; and while the one, armed with a club, stood guard over the farmer's wife, who had got out of bed, and was about to give the alarm, the other ransacked the house for money, which tluy seemed to have a perfect knowledge was in it. At last they fell upon a box, from which the woman saw them take five bags of gold, which had been laid up as the ma rriage- portions of the former's five daughters. Each bag originally contained £ 75. 12s. in gold, and the name of the daughter was inscribed on each bag. Two of them had received three guineas etch out of their portions; and the otters had received various sums, so as to considerably reduce the contents. Upon the division of the booty, the robbers shared the money freely in a public- house, in which Ihey quarrelled. The prisoner was found guilty, but re- commended fo mercy, because no personal violence had been used. - • -—. v.. • - < . • r . j.-.: ... y - r.

At Paris there -, vas no official or late intelligence on W. dpcsd. iv night from the seat of war. The Paris papers of that dale are fruitful enough in conjectures. By son1;; it was supposed tiiat Chumla had been taken; but the general impression was, that the Russians were engaged in constructing batteries and other works preparatory to the siege, and that the Emperor had taken tlte opp » rtui. ity to visit Odessa, where he arrived unexpectedly on the 8th. The til's! division of the expedition to the Morca, two days after ite sailing was still in sight of Toulon. More troops embarked 0: 1 the 10th, and the second division was to sail op the following day. It is no* y asserted that Ibrahim Pacha intends only to withdranf the Egyptian troops fiorn the Morea ; that tlie Turkish force is to remain ; and that he will deliver wp to them the fortresses of which he is in possession.

Tj/' hje; PROTESTANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. t ON THE- STATE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION. It. is now liqar $ 0 years since I ventured, from a sense of duty, to express my sentiments on the above vitally important ques- tion. Ji did so, as 1 then stated, in print, rather, than in the House of Lords, because I felt that in that assembly there were many, who, from abilities,, station, and rank, were better en- titled than myself to address the . House of Peers, and I feared to do injury to a cause dearer to me than rny life Like mo- tives have operated since with me in the like manner. 1 c; muot, however, in the present crisis of the question, — at the- moment when it seems about to be determined by tlte legislature in the next session whether Ireland is or is. not, henceforth- to be- given up to popery ; I cannot refrain from imploring: the real Pro- U » staufes of the empire to step forward,. and, by their declara tions and exertions, call down the mercies of heaven to rescue our Protestant brethren in Ireland, and the glorious constitution, of the British islands, from such a curse as the restoration of power to popery. My statement shall be very short, that all who please may find time to read it, said the reasons on which it is rounded be distinct and unreserved. First, then, I must say, the time is come when the Protestants must defend or abandon their re- ligion as a part of the British constitution. W- j live in times when practical infidelity prevails. The Scriptures tell us. of (' hristiahity, " that Kings shall be its nursing fathers, and Uueens its nursing mothers." The wisdom of the youth of these days says that Christian principle should be considered as of no consequence in governing- an empire. Believing, as I do from my soul, that God is not only moral governor of the world, but that he will b! e* s a nation in proportion to its adherence to his religion, I abjure entirely the infidel Liberality, woiel) practically prevails. Let it be found among our princes, our pobles, our prelates, our politicians, or wherever it may, I equally disclaim and condemn it. The question is-, do the Protestants, of the united empire think their religion worth rSHHF: ANNUAL MEETING of this 8 AUXILIARY SOCIETY will lake plaW tlii « in- espiit WEDNESDAY, llif' 3< l of Sepionilier, n'l 1i o'clock : il Noon, at the TOWN H O.

SEPTEMBSU 1ST, Salopian journal WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1828. The recommendation of I ord Kenyon, inserted in a preceding column, Mill, we trust, be promptly acted upon namely, that the Protestants of every parish in the Empire should express their decided intention to support the Protestant Constitution as by law established, and to oppose the extension of political power to the Papists. The Chapel of Winchester College, which has long been an object of attraction to the passing stranger, now possesses additional claims to public admiration. The whole of the ancient painted windows ( nine in number, containing upwards of 8000 feet of glass,) have been completely restored according to their original designs; and, for brilliancy of colours and rich mellow effect, now present a most beautiful specimen of the perfection of which this elegant art is susceptible. These improvements, which were com- menced nearly eight years since, exhibit practical illustrations of Ihe munificence of the Warden and Fellows; and reflect great credit on the talents of Mr. Evans, of Shrewsbury, by whom they were executed. — Hampshire Chtonide. The following is inscribed on a grave- stone in Bolton Churchyard, Lancashire:—" Thomas Okev, the son of GOD, was born in London 1608; came to this town 1629 married Mary, the daughter of James Crampton, of Brightwit, 1635, with whom he lived comfortably twenty years, and begot four sons and six daughters ; since then he lived sole till the day of his death. In this time were great changes and terrible alterations, eighteen years1 civil war in Eng- land, besides many dreadful sea- fights y the Crown and command of England changed eight times; Episcopacy laid aside fourteen years; London burnt by Papists, and more stately built again ; Germany wasted 300 miles; ' 200,000 Protestants murdered by Papists ; this town twice stormed, once taken and plundered. He went through many troubles and divers conditions found rest, joy, and happiness, only in holiness, the faith, fear, and love of GOD and JESUS CHRIST. Died the 29th of April, and lieth here buried, 1684. " Come, Lord JESU « ? ! O, come quickly. 1' preserving-? Will they tread in the steps_ of the. Christian pil- riotsof ] or will they give up fieland to popery, and eventually Britain also? It is absurd to say, that, Ireland will not be altogether popish, iv popish representatives may sit for its counties ana its boroughs Ulster, the only Protestant prownee, can never long- iemaiu suqh, if popery is predominant in Munster, Leinsteiy and Con- naught. The system of terror will gradually extend itself. through Ulster; and tlie Protestants of- Great Britain will have popish Ireland, with a hundred representatives, to dictate laws to them. It. is (. rue, it is not at present proposed to ex- clude Mr. Dawson, the new convert ; or Mr. lirownlow, the preceding one.- And why? Because at present there is too much of Protestant feeling in Derry and in Armagh, to make, it expedient to do so. The old system of jesuiti. ym is as much in force now in Ireland as in its rankest days. For. proof to confirm my assertion--- Mr. Yesey Fitzgerald has ever been an advocate Tor the popish claiWis. Clare has proved itself a popish county. The popish party could exclude him.;., they have therefore done so by ejecting Mr. O'Couneil. So much for popish gratitude towards an old friend. Mr. Dawson, and Mr. Fitzgerald were equally members of the Duke of Wellington's government;. therefore,, if that be a crime- in the eyes of the Irish papists, Mr. D. ought to be excluded equally with Mr. F. unless they mean . to add ingratitude to Mr. F. as in itself a motive for his exclusion. I will not impute to them so abo- minable a motive;, but it remains, then, that the Jesuitical system of succeeding by wheedling, when they cannot by forcj;, is the true cause of Mr. O'Connell's flattery to Mr. . Dawson. But it may be pretended, that seats in parliament, and privileges in professions, are all which the Irish papists require; If that be true, we must believe the lower orders of Irish papists and their priests to be the greatest dupes that ever lived. Why have the Irish popish population supported Mr. O'Corinell as tb<* y have done? Because their religion, they Y^ c- re told,- called on them to- do so. Why did Mr. O'Conneil fall on his knees to' receive spiritual benediction from a popish bishop, during the Clare election? Af- suredly only to increase the fervour of attachment, to him on the score of religion. Will tin- priests and popish population be satisfied at papists being admissible to-. botli houses of parliament, and Mr. < J'Cou- ncil- and others having silk gowns, and other civil or profes- sional privileges, without the establishment of the popish religion. in Ireland? If any one say so, " lie deceives himself, or trios to deceive other." It is contrary to the nature of man ; it is impossible. Can Popish Ireland and Protestant Grait Britain be truly united ? Can. a'parliament'so composed act harmoniously, or for. the public good? No reflecting man can fail to see that th ® grant, of. concessions has already gone too far. The contest must take'place sooner or later. The attempt to put off the period will probably, not delay its arrival— will certainly increase its uUricuities. Kow then should men of principle and resolution act? They should see that the in- tegrity of the empire be not risked by vain attempts to con- ciliate where conciliation is impossible. Securities there will be none that can ever be of use. Tile* extension of popery is the - object, and must be the object ^ such extension is the danger, and must continue so for ever. No foreign case is at all like Ireland--- no constitution and 110 people like the British, But why must the public at large be now called on to step forth ? It is because rebellion in Ireland may yet be avoided ; O", if not so, soon be put do wn ; if the Protestant voice of the empire is heard* and the danger will be immensely increased by d « Jay. To my Protestant- countrymen, I may say what the rules of pat liament forbid wilhi'n the walls of parliament. It is this, that I have no doubt our Sovereign will stand true to his Protectant people, if tiny will be true to them- selves;. and" it i » therefore for the Protectants- of the em- pire to declare, if they will enable their king to maintain the oath he took at his coronation-. The Jesuitical inter- pretation of that oath is, that the King will act by the advice of his cabinet ministers, that is, thai he will. ha ve no conscience ' of his own. J. uues II.. acted by the advice of his ministers in his attempt to. restore, popery; and it was distinctly charged against him at thd Revolution, as his crime against the constitution, that he? did act by the advict; of wicked counsellors. The interpretation of Geo. IF. and of Frederick Duke of York, WHS- that- the King was in conscience bound 10 observe that oath in its spirit, wl atever might, he the • pinion of all other persons. It was said by George HI. " Will any one tell me that . my people will not support me in Uovertting according to my. coronation oath ? I will walk to Charing Cross, and appoint the first nspectable nine men I can find for my cabinet ministers, to support such principles, and I am suie my people will support me." And so you would, and so you will your sovereign George IY. on the same principle. The opinions of my venerated paient on the coronation oath have been misrepiesrnted. 1 add extracts to the point : " The state of the question with which I have been honoured, supposes that the requisition now made is a direct violation of the statute of 30 Car 2. s. 2. It certainly is inconsistent with that law, and if it shall be yielded to, will, in effect, repeal it, though that law, when it was made, was looked upon by the legislature as necessary for tht more effectually pteserying the King's person and govern men!, by disabling papists from silting in either house of parliament. ( low far that law still continues a fence for the church as by law established, must be judged of by tho. se who are to act on the proposed repeal, if such a measure should be brought forward. Those, who think it is- an important and necessarv part, of the defence of the established church, may also think that ' he coronation oath was meant to provide against the King's consenting to the repeal; for though an act for repealing'the statute of Charles II. would not in. itself break innpon the established church, yet it would " facilitate steps which might afterwards follow for, that purpose, as by this means papists mujht constitute a majority ot each house of parliament. " It cannot well pass observation, that the whole system of laws, as to the purpose of the present inquiry, was to guard ajiaiiiHi the possible introduction of popish influence into ajiy branch of the legislature As far as respects the s. oveieipn, it is guarded by the oath he takes; and with respect to the houses of parliament, by the declaration in 30 Car. 2. " I will, out of anxiety, add one word more. It seems to me that the judgment- of the person, who takes the coronation oat, h, must determine whether any particular statute proposed does destroy the government of the. established church. it seems that the oath, couched in the general terms in which it is found, does not preclude.. the party sworn from exercising a judgment, whether that which he is bound to maintain will be essentially, or in any degree, affected by the proposed measure." We live in times when every man who values principles should depend on his own exertion*, and not on those of princes, prelates, nobles, politicians, or parliament. Some of the last sessions of parliament have Shown how little sale it is to trust to such quarters for security. In the voice of the Protestants of the empire alone can strength be afforded to those who desire lo uphold the Protestant, faith and Constitution. Let every parish declare its sentiments- let them unite in a holv and constitutional declaration of their attachment to the Protestant constitution of these real pis as their deatest birthright, and they will nerve the strength of its friends, and preserve it to posterity.

On the 97TIt nil. at St. Leonard's Church, Bridg- tiortli, by the Rev. John llaubury, Edward Robinson, Esq. solicitor, of Worcester, to Sarah, vmiigest daughter of the late George Hunhury, Esq. of Biidg-- uorih. Free Church in Castle Foreqate. We have | he greatest satisfaction in. referring' pur readers to the Resolutions and List of Subreptions, consequent upon a Meeting of Gentlemen, Parishion- ers and others, held in the Vestry of St. Mary's Church, in this town, on the 2(> th ult.—- That an additional Church , is wanting for the accommodation of the inhabitants of the populous suburb of Castle Foregate, & c. has long been acknowledged; and a referenee to the advertisement will give full assurance that the good work is in the hands of those who will not slacken their eftbrts until it be accomplished.-— The intended erection of Chapels of Ease in Frank well and Castle Foregate, and the establishment ( already effected) of the additional evening service at St. Julian's on Sundays, are gratifying proofs that, in Shrewsbury at least, there is enough of the true principle of the Reformed Church subsisting among the Members of the Establishment, to prevent their being classed with the lukewarm or careless pro- fessors of its doctrines; and, i^ ith more especial reference to the object of our present notice, we are sure that there is no person calling himself Christian, hut will admit that a more appropriate situation for a Free Church than the Castle Foregate could not have been chosen.— A perusal of the list of subscribers must convince every one that the intended Church has not only the acquiescence but the sanction'of the Parishioners j and there can be no question that the already very respectable list and amount of the subscriptions will be further increased, by the most cheerful aid of the other principal proprietors and inhabitants of the extensive and populous district comprised in and adjacent to that part of the parish of St. Mary, for the benefit of which the projected Free Church is more peculiarly intended.

BRECOJJSHIRE GREAT SESSIONS.— There were only two prisoners for trial, Thomas Jones and William Morgan, charged with stealing a silver watch and a quantity of money, the property of T. Morgan. Both the prisoners were found guilty, and sentence of death recorded. At lite Glamorganshire Great Sessions, Benjamin Harries, for breaking into a house at Newbridge, and stealing wearing apparel therefrom, George Jones, for stealing from the person of Jacob Oavies, at Swansea, twenty shillings, and Richard Parry and David Davies, for burglariously stealing from the dwelling- house of William Wilkins^ at Merthyr- Tydfil, a quantity of flannel and other articles, re- ceived sentence of Death ; Joh • Davies, for stealing i silver watch from the house of Giles Williams, at llirwafit, was sentenced to be transported for life; and Thomas Morgan, for stealing three chains, the property of the Marquess of Bute, and Elizabeth Williams, for uttering base coin at Mcrthyr- Tydfil, were sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. At the Cardigan Great Sessions ( where Mr. Ser- jeant I ley wood sat alone, in consequence of the resignation of John Balguv, Esq. the Puisne Judge),, much to the credit of the county, there was not one prisoner for trial; the officers' wands were therefore decorated with white ribbons. At Psisi Ptius five causes were decided, but they were of no public interest At the Pembrokeshire Great Sessions, Thomas Rerans was indicted for having administered poison to his wife, so as to occasion her death. After she was buried, suspicion was attached to the prisoner, and the deceased was taken out of her grave, and on being opened by a surgeon, poison was found in the body. It turned oat trots the evidl- nce, however, that the deceased previous to her death had mentioned to her daughter, that she would not live many days, and from this and other circum- stances, it is supposed that she took poison ' herself. Acquitted. Thomas Eddy, Mary Lewis, and James John, were found guilty of stealing hams, & c. the property of Mr. Thomas Thomas, of Pembroke. Eddy and John were sentenced to one year's imprison- ment and hard labour, and Mary Lewis to two year's imprisonment. PARALYTIC ATTACK OF JUDGE IIEYWOOD.— We regret to state, that we have just received in- telligence that Mr. Justice Heywood has had an attack of paralysis at, Haverfordwest, and that the business of the Carmarthen sessions will necessarily be postponed. The sheriff and a large company went as usual in procession to meet his lordship, when t bey- received the above distressing intelligence, which caused them to return. The attorney- general, Sir William Owen, in apprising the public of this melancholy event, stateti that he would lose no time in transmitting an account of it to the Lord Chancellor, who would doubtless make every practicable arrange- ment for furthering the business of the court, and for remedying the inconvenience which has resulted from this unfortunate interruption, to the transaction of the legal business of the county.— Carmarthen Journal, August 29. ess MR.

The following resolution has been passed by what is called 4 the Dublin University Club, 1 Lord Aid- borough in the chair, and has been formally published : That the daring and unconstitutional conduct of the Roman Catholic Association, combined with the recent declaration of a member of his Majesty's Government at Derry, renders it imperative on the Protestants of Ireland to come forward, and, by their union, firmness, and determination to avert, the dangers to the Constitution which at present threaten to overwhelm it The Bishop of Jichfield, at a late triennial v sitation of the clergy of Stafford, alluded to the prevailing causes of irreligion : u One of them was diffusion of education divorced from religious principle. He thought it behoved the clergy to keep a jealous'eye upon what were called Mechanics'Institutes, and to use exertion to convey religious principles in connexion with other knowledge. 1' Very recently, five Jews of respectability, of good property, and of considerable learning and acquire- ments, havf been converted to the Christian Faith, within the City of London.— The Record. An ingenious mechanist, of the name of Walker, residing at Little Coxwell, near Faringdon, has invented a mechanical carriage, which is expected to out- do all the out- doings of steam. It is said the least possible velocity of its movements is at the rate of 12 miles an hour. — Berkshire Chronicle.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the manner of obtaining bodies for dissection have pub lished. their Report. They purpose to follow the example of France, and appropriate to dissection the bodies of those who have died under public charge, and who *. rhen dead are not Claimed by their friends. By these means it is said that an ample number of subjects would be supplied at a moderate rate to the profession ( the price of a subject in France varies from half- a- crown only to ten shillings), and at the same lime no individual feeling would be outraged. So far as a sense of public decency is concerned, the Committee think lhat it would rather gain than other- wise by the substitution of this practice far the horrid one of disinterment.

ARCHERY.— At the Grand Archery F.- tc given by the Earl and Countess of Bradford, at Castle Brom- wii'h Hall, 011 Friday week, the Coun'ess and the Hon. Mr. Finch carried off the two grand prizes. On Monday the Woodmen of Arden held their Grand Target at their shooting ground on Mfridcn Heath, when William L, Kingston, Esq. distinguished himself by obtaining not only the . Master Forester-' s go'd medal, but the Senior Verdcrer's silver medal also, a circumstance which has never occurred but once since the formation of the society in the year 1785. The Rev. Charles Palmer was Lieutenant of the Target.— On Wednesday, the silver arrow was shot for on the roving ground at nine score yards, and won by W. Lillingston, Esq. who gained three ends out of eleven. Mrs. Bernard Granville drew Mr. Liliingston's number, and gained an elegant, gold arrow. The wind being extremely variable, the shooting was not particularly good On Friday, the silver bugle was shot for 011 the same ground, at twelve score yards, the longest distance allowed by the rules of shooting for the same, antl won in- a masterly style hy the Hon. Daniel Finch, who gained four ends out of nine, one of which was a clout. Only twelve Woodmen contested for this prize* and very few of them were able to reach the distance against wind. Miss Willis was the fortunate drawer of Mr Finch's number, and received a beautiful gold bugle. In the evening of the latter day a contest took place at a hundred yards, for a splendid silver bugle, presented, by the Hon. Daniel Finch. The conditions f ir shooting for it, heing a qualification gained during the week, by obtaining the office of Master Forester, or Senior Verderer, or Lieutenant of the Target, or being a winner of the silver arrow or bugle horn, or Captain or Lieutenant of Numbers ( apparent) or having hit the gold or clout. Only seven obtained a qualification, viz. William Lillingston, Esq. the Rev. Charles Palmer, Henry C. Adams, Esq. Richard Gresley, Esq. Rev. Henry Burroughs, Sir John Mordaunt, Bart, and the Hon. Daniel Finch, when, after an animated and closely run contest, Richard Gresley, Esq. obtained the prize in a sweepstakes against the Rev. , C. Palmer. The target closed at half past seven o'clock, when Richard Gresley, Esq. was also declared tlie winner of the Digbeian gold medal, as Captain of Numbers, and the Rev. Charles Palmer the winner of the Digbeian silver medal, as Lieutenant, of Numbers.— There were but- few ladies present on the Wednesday, but the merry dance was kept up with spirit; and on Friday there was an assemblage of all the beauty and fashion of the county ou the ground. MKLANCHOJ. Y ACCIDENT AT WINDSOR.— Ori Wednesday evening, as one of the snail boats which ply at and itbout Windsor for hire was returning, with the extraordinary number of nineteen persons on board, from Egbam races to Windsor, a little beyond Datchet- bridge, it struck, through the inadvertence of the little boy who guided the helm, on some stakes in the river at a place where formerly an eel- weir existed. Th. i boat shortly after filled with water, and, despite of the exertions of the boatmen to bring the boat lo flic shore, the stern stink, and all the passen- gers in that part, amounting to about: eleven or twelve, were suddenly thrown into the water together, and, melancholy to relate, not. less than nine perish d. At the City of Cluster Great S.' ssion-, John Hewitt, Fraud* . Smith; and Pvfjr M'jfH, were found guilty of bteaking into the dwelling house of Messrs. Huntington, of Bridge street Row, Ch'ster, and judgment of death was recorded against tbeiri. At the Cheshire Assizes, which com nenc:' d on Thursday last, judgment of death was recorded against John Brow1, for forging an indorsement 011 a bill of exchange, John Wiljton,- for house- breaking at Knutsford, Thomas Shard, for burglary, Jama Boden, for house- breaking at Stockport, John Acton alias WilVdms and Thomas Smith alias l> i.: t:> n, for house- breaking at Bowden, and Etias Warhurxt, for house- breaking at Stockport.— diaries Evans and John Jones, for stealing iron and brass, at Ness Colliery, and William Booth and James Bamber, for highway robbery, were sentenced to be trans- ported for seven years.— tames ' High;!, for ail in- decent assault 011 Eliza Harrison, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment to hard labour. — James <" « < W> 11 flatman employed on the canal bet. Veen Runcorn and Manchester, was found guilty of the manslaughter of his wife, under very aggravated circumstances, and was sentenced to be transported for life.— James ' Hbsov, for the manslaughter of his wife, at Prestburv, was sentenced to V2 months' im- prisonment, as it appeared that, he threw a clog at her, which caused the injury that induced d? ath, but certainly without any intention 011 his part of iuflict- ing if.— William Shan', for the manslaughter of a child, by driving a cart over it, was sentenced to one week's imprisonment.— William Balihav;, for the manslaughter of James Nixon, at Twemlow, bv driving a cart over him, was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment. The celebrated Lord Hale, in his discourse upon the Amendment of . the Laws, lays down the threa following rules, which modern Reformers would do well not to lose sight of:— 1. That the change lie demonstrable- to be for the better, and such as cannot introduce any considerable inconvenience. 2. That the change be not in foundations or principles, but in such things as may consist with the general frame and basis of the Government or law. 3. That the change be gradual, and not too much at once, or, at least, not mors than the exigence of tilings require. A trial of the I'atcnt Vacuum Crane at Saint [ Catherine's Docks was made 011 Friday, and suc- ceeded to the fullest expectation. This crane is worked by creating a vacuum on one side of a piston, and at. the same moment allowing the air to enter on the opposite side. The vacuum can be produced by any power, whether steam, wind, water, or animal exertion, and at any distance from the principal power. It is to be introduced into the Cornish mines directly. It will also be of infinite importance as a means of working tilt hammers, as the power of at least twelve pounds 011 the inch is gained by the returning stroke. The case of Doe on the demises of Prinq and another v. Peurcy, decided in last Michaelmas term by the Court of King's Bench, seems completely to set at rest a question which is the cause of frequent dissensions between Land- holders and Lords of manors. It was fhereTheld that the primi facie presumption is, that slips of waste land adjoining to a road, belong to the owner of the adjoining enclosed land, whether he be a freeholder, copyholder, or leaseholder, and not to the Lord of the manor. Miss LOVE.— The following is a smart paragraph of criticism, whpther just or not we cannot tell. It is from the pen of an Edinburgh critic :— " Miss Love is not altogether so great a favourite with us as she is with some others. Our ' dream of joy from morn till night is not Love, still Lovo.' She is clever, and she has the kind of figure that young men like, and she h. as a saucy, pleasant face ; she can do an impudent thing neatly, and make a bold speech archly ; she wears, male attire as if it was as natural to her as female ; she has not the beauty of Miss Foote, but she has more masculine humour; she is very much such an actress as Wycherley, Vanburgh, or Congreve would like, to see enacting their heroines. She sings too, and she has a better voice than Miss Foote ; but she is deservedly looked 011 as only a fourth or fifth- rate actress in London, aud we must say some of our worthy critics have shewn them- selves a little raw in divers puffatory paragraphs they have written concerning her. Miss Love, like Miss Foote and Madame Vestris, is one of those feminine anomalies who are much more willing to be indebted for their reputation to the loud plaudits of the un- married gentlemen, than to the quieter approbation of their mamas and papas. We are by 110 means sure that this taste ought to be encouraged in young women who go upon the stage. It makes them trust to a well- turned ancle much more than to a well- performed scene : it makes them fonder of surtouts and tights than is entirely compatible with the good of their souls : it gives them notoriety, but it never set, 11 res them respect." We have been amused with a French mother's advice to her daughter, given in evidence in a law proceeding. There is much that is sensible iu her admonitions, as well as much that is ( rilling; and the drollery Consists in the priority of place, and therefore we presume of importance, which is given to the trifles. " I must repeat to you what I have before said— you must take more care of your husband, and seek to please him, for he is a worthy man-. You know that he is a litile inclined to vanity; I do not say tii. it you are therefore to be a coquette— on the contrary, oe simple ; but let it be a simplicity recherckce; G.' t up early in the morning, that is to say, seven o'clock, or half past seven at the latest: arranqe wow hair, and put a litt'e gum in the curls, that they may remain firm during the day ; then put 011 long" stays, and a plain but neat gown, that fits well, and which suits your face and figure; this alone will give him pleasure. Then pay great attention to your house- hold— iVork at useful things — spend no money in follies— do not make too free with your husband's pupils— do not lend money without his consent, and never put yourself into a passion. One thing, of which I never yet ventured to speak to you, is, that without your perceiving it, you have a great fondness for strong liquors, which get into your head and heat your imagination; pray think of this fault, my dear irl, and correct it." The gum in the curls is the matter of the first importance. BRISTOJ. ASSIZES.— Vaughan v. Phi'p t. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a brightsmith to recover compensation in damages for an injurv sustained by bis daughter, fro, 11 falling into a sewer which the defendant, hail opened, and not caused to be sufficiently guarded. Mr. S ijcaiit Wilde, in stating the case to the Jury, said, that the plaintiff was in a rather humble situation in life ; he kept 110 servants, his two daughters performing all the neces- sary household work, as well as contributing to tiieir support by dress- making. On the night in question, the 13th of last March, the plaintiff's daughter ( who had been at home all day) was sent of an errand by her father— in her way she had to pass up a phce leading from Redcliff- street to the Dock, called Jones's- Lane, in which the defendant, having obtained the permission of the Commissioners, had opened the sewer for the purpose of effecting some repairs'— he had not, however, sufficiently guarded the mouth' of the hole ; there were some stones and rubbish 011 the side, arid a barrel or some such thing was thrown over the opening ; but this, as the Jury wo il l find, was not Sufficient to prevent accidents, for when the plaintiff's daughter had arrived at the spot, the ni « dit being dark, she had trod upon a stone, which givTng way, had precipitated her into the hole, by which she received so severe an injury that a surgeon was sent for, and she was confined to hec room for the space of three weeks, anil was, in fact, still labouHnjf under the effects of it. It was for the. expanses attending this, as likewise for the loss, of his d'ingh-. ter's services, that the plaintiff now sought cirnpen- sation.— Witnesses having been called who fully proved the Learned Counsel's statement, Mr. Wd- liams, who hail been retained by the defendant, intimated to his Lordship that, as. he con! J not deny there" was ample cause of action, his client was ready to submit to a verdict. After some conversation between the Learned Counsel for the opposite sides, it was agreed to take a verdict for the plaintiff— — damages £ 20. SALOPIAN JOUR^ AJU AMP COURIER OF WAJUES* SONNET. OB !

Godson opened the pfradiiittP, slatincr that the p'aitililV * « « Mary I) aw « , and the defendant was Robert Carper. The plaintiff, by her declar- ation, complained that Ihe defendant bad caused her to be imprisoned for 20 days, wilhoot any reasonable or probable catiiie. Jir. Garwood said, that thin wag an action for fa'se iiuprisotirt-. fnt by a tv: aj; isliate of this county, ami might be considered aS a branch of the cause which was before Ihe Court yesterday, ' l'he cir. eumstancen of the ease were perhaps known to them, but as the? were a different Jury, excepting one gentleman « honl he sa'Jv ajaiu in tile box, il imposed upon him the necessity of Muting some of would not have taken such u course for five hun- dred golden guineas. M. r, t urwond, iifter a short consultation with his client,- said that He would withdraw his appearance for the plaintiff, and consent to a nonsuit. The case, therefore, remains uudisposed of, as it was before, and a fresh action nlust be brought, if the statute does not preclude it ; because the actum must be commenced within six fhonths' after the. ulleged ottenee- or dereliction is committed, and that period has expired. Such a termination to a cause was never before known airion£ the oldest Barristers on the Circuit. the circumstance* of the case which be otherwise might have avoided. He would, however, do it as shortly as possiSle. ' this being a question of law and fact, be should have to contend befote his I ordship ( and if be did not do so successfully here, he should certainly do so elsewhere,) Ibat the w arrant by w hich " the plaintiff was committed to prison was" illegal. He wotild state Openly in Ihe outset, that where Magistrates did their duty fairly to the public, they were protected frrtln the conse. queue s of any errors or mistakes Ihey might be guilty of; but he was prepared to contend that in general they were too much protected, and would prove that in this case the Defendant had so far exceeded his authority as not to'be entitled to any protection. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail Ihe circumstances which gave rise to the imprisonment of the p'aiutiff, stating that Ihe plain- tiff bad lodged with a Miss Ann Hamiuerton, and in Consequence of a loss w hich she had sustained, had, on Ihe 8th of January last, lodaed a complaint before Mr. Cupper against Ann Huiuerton. Ann Rhimmerto'n was called upon no answer to tlie c. ui- phi'iht; but though some of the property of the plaint1 ff was found in her possession, she was not eonimiited in the interval between that day anil Ihe nth. He ( Mr. Curwood) was told that Miss Haiu- merton paid a private visit to Mr. Capper, and when she did appear at the Police Office, she was dismissed, being bound over to appear ahd take her trial at the lust Assizes. Miss Hamniet ton was woman of great mental powers and most fascinating manners, knd he ( Mr. C.) believed she made the most of them, lu order lo gel rid of the charge which had been wade against her by the plaintiff, she preferred a charge against her, alleging that she ( Miss Hamrnerton) had lost considerable property, and believed Miss Davis lo have been concerned in the robbery. To Support that charge, she fabricated a letter purporting to be writteu to Miss bavis- byan accomplice of lwr » , Mid this letter feeing shewn to. Mr. Russell, the defendant in the cause of yesterday, on that evidence Miss Davis was taken" up and committed fo gaol on a Saturday right, in order that she might be brought before Mr. Capper for ex'Miiiuation on Ihe Monday morn- ing. VVhctt she was brought before Mr. Capper this letter « as produced, and he ( Mr. C. J should cer tiiiily liave expected more discretion, more pene- tration from the Magistrate than from the police- officer, tor it was evident the letter was a fabrication, as it was dated in l. ondon, and had the mark of the Cheltenham penny- post on it, Miss Davis was asked to say who was the writer of this letter. Miss Davis had never seen it before, and WJS unable to do so. The letter had never been in iter possession, yet Mr. Capper immediately said, " l- shaM commit you to prison for fifteen days, an- j then perhaps you will fiud it out." Happily, the criminal law of this country did not permit the infliction of a punishment for Ihe purpose ofextort. i-. i_' confession. The law required that when an individual was accused, the accuser should estab- lish the charge; and so carefully did the law guard against the reception of confessions under any hope Or apprehension, thai they were never received until it was ascertained that they were completely voluntary. The Learned Counsel contended he would prove that this warrant was illegal; thai the Magistrates met three- times ev'ery week at Cliel- teiinnm; and therefore, if the defendant was auiborised to commit Miss Davis for re- examination at all, he was not authorised to commit her for fifteen days; he might us well commit her for fffteen weeks or fifteen months, for Ihe ustne pur- pose, inflicting a punishment before there was a tittle of evid'lice to snppoita charge. He would prove that such was the distress of mind that Miss Davis had suffered during those fifteen days in prison, that she had not recovered from it to this day. He would call a lady iu high rank, iu whose sir vice she had formerly lived as housekeeper, who would prove, that such was Ihe etleet produced on her by this imprisonment, thai she did not consider her now quite sane. Many of Ihe Jury were, no donb;, Magistrates themselves: he would appeal to tiiem whi'itiei Mr. Capper had not committed thi's- polir woman lo extort from her a confession. He would appeal lo them to declare whether h was authorised to do so. If Ihey thought Mr. Capper, by so doing, had acted iu Ihe conscientious discharge of his duty, iu God's name find a verdict for Mi'. Capper; but if they were of a different opinion, it was for Iheni lo determine what compen- sation the plaintiff was entitled to. He left it to them, as a question between God anu their own consciences. A great number of witnesses were called to prove the case*, after which Mr. Justice Gaselee summed up. He said Ihe only question for Ibeir consideration was, whether, under the circumstances of the lase, Ihe commit, meat had been fur more than a reasonable time, and whether the defendant bad acted bona fide, or committed her for the purpose of extorting a con- fession. ft' they thought lite period was an unrea- sonable time, and that ihe plainfff bud been thus hardly dealt with, the next question was what damages she was entitled lo for the injury she bad sustained. Damages in such esses should be a fair and moderate compensation, liut-' it wss for Ihe Jury to say wluii the damages should be. At a quarter past eleven iu J he forenoon Ihe Jury retired, and al nine o'clock at night, not having agreed in the verdict, they were ugaiu brought into Court, Mr. Justice Gaselee having inquired if they had agreed in their verdict. The Foreman said, they were as far from agree- ing to a verdiel as when they first left the Court. Mr. Justice Gaselee Suggested tlx" propiiely of some arrangement, whith should prevent the ne- cessity of their being lucked up all night. He could not discharge them without returning a verdict, unless something of that sort was agreed To. Mr. Serjeant Ludlow, fir the defendant, and Mr. Curwood for the plaintitt, said that they bud no objection lo Ihe Jury beinsj released for the night, and permitted to go home, with the understanding on their honour that they would not mention the subject lo uuy one, and would in the morning return into Court. Mr. Justice Gaselee slopped the Learned Counsel from saying any tliii g further on ilie subject, and dismissed the Juiy, willi Ihe understanding that they would again tuke their place iu Court iti the morning. Acg. 21— This morning nt eight o'clock, the Jury again came into Conil, and were locked up. After an hour's deiibciaiiou, they requested lo speak to the Judge. ' I hey came iu accordingly, and then the Foreman slated positively that there was no possibility of Ihe Jury agreeing upon Ihe subject, and therefore it was of uo use longer to detain Ihetn. Mr. Justice Gaselee observed, that he was clearly of opinion that there ought tube a nonsuit, because there was a probable cause. MT. Curw ood said he appeared for Ihe plaintiff. Mr. Taunton, who was on the other side, s. id that lie w as astonished at his learned friend, tie VALIDI TY OF A WILL. PRUEK V. OSBORNF. This was an issue out of the Court of Chancery, to try the validity of the will of John Wilcox Osborne, late of Cropthorne, in the county of Wor- cester, and was tried before a special jury. Mr. Cnrvfood opened the pleadings, and stated, thai the issue was directed by the Lord ( Chancellor, ar. d it came before the Jury iu the shape of a wager. Mr. Campbell stated the case. This was an issue directed by the Lord Chancellor to try the validity of the will of John Wilcox Osborne; but though liis friend had stated it canic before the Jury in the way of a wager, it was not a bet, but such being Ihe usual mode of describing a suit out of Chancery He said, Ihe heir- at- law had always a right to except the validity of a will; and, if be pleases, he may try, whenever he chooses, whether Ihe will be valid or not. What may be the motive of Ihe defendant iu this case, in contesting Ihe will, the Learned Counsel could not divine. Indeed, the case which he had to lay before the Jury was so clear and so simple, thai, in Ihe first instance, he would do nothing more than detail to the Jury the simple fact's. This w ill was made on 8H1 December, l£ 2fi. The testator was a Voting inan, who only arrived at the age of 21 in the mouth of June preceding the dare of Ihe will. JTe died on 12ib of Dec. iu Itie same year. He W as of a weakly consti- tution, and had the misfortune lo be afflicted with a rapid consumption, which carried hitn off iu four days after the will was executed. The only ques- tion now to be tried was, whether Ihe leslator was of sound memory and understanding when he executed his will, or whether he" bird lost the use of his intellects. The property at stake is of very considerable value, amounting to between t' 2000 and ±' 300( 1 per annum; and it is necessary that tile niode should be mentioned hy which Ihe testator became possessed of it. He was an only child, and he took a large property under the will of his maternal uncle, John VYilcox, and he made his own will, which cured a defect his uncle's will had exhibited. John Wilcox, having no brother, made his will on 2* Slh March, 1810, by which he gave his property in trust lo the children born, or lo be boru, of his sister, Mrs. Osborne, the mother of Johu Wilcox Osborue; and if they should die before the. age of 21, without leaving issue, then over to' the children of the uncles and aunts of the said John Wilcox. Those of course must be John Wilcox's cousins. If his nephews and nieces died before 21, then it was to go over among his cousins. > iow that was a bad executory devise, because the limitation being to all the children born, or to be born, of the mother, might have failed, and then the contingency was void iu law, and the devise to the cousins of John Wilcox could not be carried into effect by that will. When John Wilcox died, his sister had but one only child, w ho w as the testator, John Wilcox Osborne, The w hole property was vesied in hitn; but a fact existed, which no doubt would be stated on the other side. His father had some estates which werC worth between £ 6000 and £ 7000, but which were encum- bered £ 2000 beyond their actual value. The father had become embarrassed; and an arrangement was made by which the son, John Wilcox Osborne, look to those estates, charged with the incum- brances, Ihe reversion in which John Wilcox Osborne inherited from his paternal grandfather One of them was of the annual value of £ 90. lu Dec. 1826, Ihe malady under which he laboured produced fatal effects rapidly ; and Ihe Jury could well judge, perhaps from their own experience, of the rapidity with which c iisuniptiou carried off those afflicted with such a malady. When the young man was in a dangerous slate, and approach- ing to the close of his earthly career, he was visited by a Physician and Surgeon rsidiug at Worcester, and by a Surgeon who lived iu the neighbourhood; and also by the Clergyman of the parish. Mr. Oldaker, the family solicitor, was called in, and he ( Mr. C.) would say in his presence, and iu the presence of Mr. Taunton-, that he is a mail of the highest honour ; and upon this occasion his coudu w ill be found, as upon all other occasions, perfectly unimpeachable. Mr. Taunton was fully aware, that his character could not be impeached. lie drew the will which was the subject of the present litigation. He was introduced to the bed- room of the sick young man; there he found him in the perfect possession of his intellects Mr. John Wile ox Osborne bad before intimated to him, thai, if any thing happened to hirn, lie wished 1 lie pro- pel ty should go- to bis mother's relations, who would have taken the benefit of the property under the will of Juhu Wilcox. Mr. Oldaker found him very ill; but he gave a distinct, calm, and collected account of the manner iu which he wished his will to be made. He directed that his mother's au- uuily, • Whitft was £ 400, under his nucleus w ill, should be increased by £ 100; that his father should have £ 200 per ^ linum, if he survived the mother; and that his own wife ( for he was a married man), should have an annuity of £ 4<"- 0 per annum ; and then lie gave directions that the rest of his pro- perly, after paying his debts, should go according to the will of Johu Wilcox, among his maternal relations, from whom almost all of it had come. A more proper disposition of property a dying man never made. Mr. Oldaker went home and bad the will engrossed after he had drawn il. The Rev. Mr. Pruea, who resided in the parish, and an acquaintance of the family, was requested to attend as one of- the witnesses to the w ill ; but afterw ards the testator wished that Mr. Priien and Mi-; Oldaker should be trustees aud executors; and therefore it was necessary to call iu two fresh witnesses in their place, I'd wart! Appleby and Morris Appleby, tenants ou the property, were therefore tlien called in as attesting witnesses to the will. Previous to their signatures being placed, the whole of the material parts of the'will were read his disease; but stated, that, up to the 10th, which was two days after the execution of the will,' he was perfectly competent to understand the meaning of such an instrument. TheClergyman, Mr. Brown, was also called,- who saw- the testator on the& th and 9th of Decernb r, and on the latter day administered the Sacrament. Other witnesses were also called. Mr. Taunton,- for the defendant, now addressed the Jury, and contended, that it was utterly impos- sible that the testator would have left his property away from his nearest aud dearest relations. It was impossible to conccive that he should be 60 unnatural as to forget those, whom, according to every - principle, lie ouoht to best love. When he executed such a wili, it was impossible to conceive that he had the possession of any rational faculty; aud it must be presumed, even from the evidence on the other side, that he was devoid of intellect at the moment. Mr. Justice QaSelee, in charging the Jury, slated lo them, that if the testator, when he signed the will, was unconscious of its contents, it would be unquestionably void; but if he knew what it con- tained, and had mental strength enough to under- stand it, though he had not bodily strength enough to execute it, the assistance humanely offered by Mr. Oldaker would not invalidate the will; and il would not have done so, bad he assisted him to make the whole of the mark. The Jury considered their verdict, and in a few- minutes the foreman declared, u We find a verdict . for the plaintiff." Another Juror ( to the Associate) observetf, " Sir, we find lhat it is a good will; that is. what is meant." iBteceUaiuotis EnMUgeiue, THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—( From the Chel- tenham Chronicle. J~ We should not discharge out* duly as conductors of a public journal, which may. be considered the organ of public opinion in Chelten- ham, if we did not express a grateful sense of the kind and impartial manner in which his Grace has patronized every amusement in the town, and by his presence attracted such numbers of the beau monde from every part of the kingdom. The urbanity and condescension of his manners have gained him the esteem and affection of our fellow- townsmen, who fully appreciate the exertions he has made in their favour; and those who were here in 1815 recall to mind the enthusiasm and joy created in Cheltenham by his first, visit, when he came as the " Hero of a Hundred Battles;" and though that powerful excite- ment has subsided, it can never be forgotten that he ^ vas the " pride and dread of war. 1' He now visits us with the superadded influence of " Prime Minister of England and while we feel that his character, both as a warrior and a statesman, deserves to be recorded in the brightest page of English History, we may be allowed to add our tribute of admiration and respect for the predilection he has ever evinced in favour of a residence in his own country \ and we sincerely hope his patriotic example will be followed by other members of our nobility, who have it in their power to afford impulse to the trade of their native land, instead of blotting- their escutcheons by the expendi- ture of their revenues in the country of the stranger. LANCASTER ASSIZES. POISONOUS DRCGS. James Tessimonrt, ny- ed 16, was'indicted for killing- arid slating- Elizabeth Hardman, at Toxteth park. Mr. Slai kie slated th6 case to the jury. Judith Hardnmn, wife of one of the dock constables of Liverpool, deposed, that she had a child nine weeks old. The child was troubled wilh- a couvh, but was, in other respects, healthy. She sent her son William to a di uggist's shop for a pennyworth of paregoric, seven drops of which she g'ave to the child. Williain Hardiiidn,' a^ ed teii years, deposed to bring- ing the medicine. When he went into tiie shop the prisoner was alone, but before tie was served his toaster came in. He asked for paregoric, which was given him out of a large bottle, Upon asking how much should be given to a child nine weeks old he was told ten drops, and a label was affixed on the bottle. Mr. John Siewart, surgeon to the South Dispensary, remembered being'sentTor to the child, which lie found in a state of com pie ie insensibility. He administered what lie thought proper, anil when he called again the child had been dead about half an hour. Upon opening it, the appearances were not sufficiently decided for him to judge of the cause of death-, but, from the circum- staiu- es'of fhe case,, he was of opinion that the death w as caused by laudanum. On examining the contents of the phial, he believed it to be laudanum with something swe< t added toil. He should never think of giving more than half a lifinimum to a child of thai age. There is a Considerable resemblance in the inscription ou the bottles coniaining laudanum and those holding pare, goric in druggists' shops, and a person might, in a hurry, easily mistake them. The prisoner, in his defence", said the boy told him ten months was the age of the child. The prisoner"* master deposed, that the. prisoner hail been his appientire about two years. He was ( he son of respectable parents at Leek, in Staffordshire, arid was a boy of ' extremely good character. Witness re- members the circumstance in question. The prisoner asked him how ni'ffch paregoric was to be given to a child ten months . old ; and he answered ten drops. He is confident that tile laudanum was given in mistake The hollies containing laudanum and paregoric stood next to each other on ( he shelf. The label put by the prisoner on the phial was marked " Paregoric Elixir," The prisoner was very. nirich a fleeted, and showed great sorrow after the child's deaih The jury found ihe prisoner Guilty, but strongly re- commended him to mercy. Mr. Justice Bayley said? he hojfed that this case would operate as a warning to druggists arid their assisiants to be more cautious aud aiteuti've in giving out their drugs. The learned Judge, addressing the prisoner, said, be was happy to find reason to believe, lhat what had happened was through pure mistake. The sentence which he should pass, in consequence of that belief, strengthened as it was by the recommenda- tion of ihe jury, would be one that would affix no dis- grace to the prisoner's character, but would serve to mark the responsibility of persons in his situation. He then sentenced him to pay a fine, of five pounds to the King, and to be imprisoned until the fine was paid. The fine was j aid immediately, and the prissier was then discharged. explained to the testator t> y Mr. Otduker, and the tefefatop expressed his most entire approbation of the contents*. The unfortunate young man, after that, gradually sunk. On the Saturday, the day after the will was executed, the Sacrament was administered fo him by tlie Rev. Mr. Brown, Curate of Cropthorne, and on Tuesday, the l' 2! h, he ex- pired. There was not the wligbtest suspicion enter- tained about the validity of this will until it* con- tents were known, when some of his father's family conceived that they ought to derive a great deal more uricrer his will Me had an ancle named John Osborne, who is' the present defendant. By law, the father could uor be the heir- at- law of the testator ; and if he had died intestate, t!. ere is no < U.> ubt that the whole estate would go to the father's b » other j but here there is a will, and the validity of that will is the question which the Jury had to try. Whatever may be said upon the other side, no doubt could be entertained but that tlie present wilt was a genuine aud authentic document. Mr. 01 da fee r was then called, and proved, that the will was executed with the utmost regularity, according to form, aud thaV the testator knew perfectly well "'' what he was about. The testator said, he could not sign his nam", as he felt too weak; the witness then told him that a in-. r!£ would do as well as a signature; and accordingly the testator had a pen placed in his hand, which was very tremulous, and in his first eti'Ort to make a mark the pen clropt from his hand ; he resumed it, and made a curved mark. The pen was hard, and Mr. 1 Oldaker requested him to endeavour to bear harder upon it, and make a stronger mark, and he did so with his assistance. The deceased repeated the words of publication, at the dictation of the witness, and afterwards the attesting witnesses put their names to it. Joseph- Williams,, from Doctors' Commons, pro- duced the will oft he testatu's uncle, and according • to the devises of which the will in question, subject to the annuities, was made. Next was produced Hie will in question, which was read. Several other witnesses w ere called, including Mr. Greening, VJI\ Oldaker's clerk, and the two other attesting witnesses, Messrs. Appleby. A physician and two surgeons proved his gradual decay in the course of GLOUCESTER ASSIZES — Horse- Stealing.—* John Green, aged 31, was indicted for stealing, on 26th June, a gelding, the property of Richard Rimmell, in the parish of Longborough, in this county.— Mr. Justice conducted the prosecution; and it appeared from the evidence, that the gelding was tied up in a field of vetches on the night of the 26th, and that the prisoner having, from the tired condition of the horse he rode and another which he led, excited the sus- picions of some persons who were returning from Fershore fair, they challenged him, and after con- siderable resistance secured him. The horses were afterwards owned by the prosecutor and another farmer, his neighbour. The prisoner made no de- fence, and judgment of death was recorded, from the peculiar circumstances of the prisoner's case. It appears that he is one of the last surviving members of a gang of horse- stealers, who have long been formidable to the Magistracy and inhabitants of the Midland and Southern counties. He has, however, turned approver; and in fftis capacity he has con- trived to render himself useful during the present Assizes at Guildford, Wells, Exeter, and Monmouth. From a consideration, therefore, of the prisoner's usefulness in this respect, the Learned Judge, although he considered him to be an old offender, gave the prisoner strong hopes of an escape with transportation for life. William JVerret was indicted, charged with steal- ing a black, gelding, the property of S. Smith, from Buckland. The prosecutor said, that on the night of 15th July, his horse was safe in a clover- lield, and in the. morning was gone. lie instantly set off in search of him, and, with a neighbour, tracing his steps for nearly 15 miles, at last found him grazing in a green Fane, about miles from the house of the witness. The horse was in company with two others, and they ail seemed very much tired. The witness took all the horses to a neighbouring public- house, and some men who were there, on his going in, immediately made their escape across some corn- fields.— Thorn over and j Nicholson, constable of Acton Turville, met the pri- soner, and having heard that he was accused of horse stealing, seized him by the collar ; when the prisoner seized him by the thumb, and bit him in several places. They then rolled down together, and the prisoner bit the witness in the side in two places, biting out a lump of flesh each time. The witness was obliged to hold the prisoner's hands all the time, as he made repeated attempts to get at his pockets, and on a young man coming to the assistance of the witness, it was discovered that the prisoner had got a large clasp- knife in his pocket. The prisoner had acknowledged that he had the horses in his possession, but said he had not stolen them. He said, he knew lie must cross the water for the offence, but he did not mind that, so as he escaped from the " narrow bridge."— He was found Guilty Mr. Baron Vaughan, in desiring sentence of death to be recorded, told the prisoner that nothing but; the absence of a material witness could have prevented his sending him to cross the " narrow bridge" which he had so justly apprehended. The offence of horse stealing was now become so frequent, that it was impossible to do justice to the country unless the severest punishment was inflicted. The prisoner might consider himself very fortunate to escape by leaving the country for life. CORDFR.— A foul murder seems to be a perfect elysium to the periodical press of Englandv The deliverance of Greece, the conquest of the Ottoman empire, the usurpation of Portugal, the inchoate revolution of Ireland, are events which fade into insignificance before accounts of the horrors of a red barn, the looks and gestures of an assassin, the number of his convulsive heavings on the gallows tree, and the price of the hangman's halter. We have heard that a fifteen- shilling work has appeared, with all the particulars of this sorry episode in the history of our day ; and drawings, etchings, and engravings, of every possible device, have been published in every possible way, from the Sunday newspaper to the imposing volume. In short, the attention of our great and enlightened country has been almost entirely absorbed, for nearly three we^ ks, with the trial and execution of an atrocious cut- throat ;— a step in the « March of intellect 1"— Litirary Gazette. MADAME LE NORMAND.— This celebrated French fortune- teller has recently been exercising her profes- sion in London ; and was visited by multitudes of our curious countrywomen and countrymen. We are in- formed, that to those of a rank which might entitle them to be called public characters, her revelations were quite wonderful; but in less notorious cases, no strolling gypsy ever made more absurd and glaring blunders. So far from being able to penetrate into the future, she showed herself utterly ignonint of the past; and confounded all ranks, facts, and circum- stances in the grossest manner. Her fee was generally two guineas, but she would take one— rather than disappoint the applicant. She was accompanied by another female, apparently very acute and intelligent, by whom her failures were attributed to the difficulty of foreseeing events through the English language, with which Madame Le Normand happened not to be acquainted.— Literary Gazette. SILK TRADE.—( From a Correspondent at Congle- ton )— Were any additional arguments necessary in confutation of Mr. C. Grant's " prosperity speech," we may adduce the present state of the throwing mills in Congleton, as contrasted with 1824, previous to the operation of the free trade and reciprocal system— a comparison which will furnish ample proof either of the speaker's deplorable ignorance of, or, which we rather suspect, of his wilful blindness to " the real state of the trade." In 1824 there were fifty- two mills in Congleton, containing 13,340 dozen spindles in full operation, furnishing a remunerating return on the outlay employed, and an adequate pay for labour, the average of each hand being some- what more than six shillings per week. In 1825, commonly called the " new year," twelve new mills were erected., and several others were enlarged. We commenced then in 1 § 28 with sixty- four mills, capa- ble of containing 21), 784 dozen of spindles. Of these mills, twenty- five are wholly unoccupied ; and there are twelve pair of mills standing, comprehending 8,439 dozens of spindles; anil the remainder, viz. 12,345 dozen, the number now in operation, are worked at a weekly loss to the occupier, notwith- standing an inadequate price for the labour, wage.* averaging somewhat more than 4s. per head, being a reduction of almost one third, or upwards of 30 per cent. Machinery, if old, is not worth any thing, and if new, what has actually found customers has been sold at a loss of nine- tenths of its original cost. Many have been put up to auction ; some have not even gained a single bid, where it was supposed the par- ties selling might catch at it; others might have been sold at one- sixth of their valuation in 1824, and the parties would actually have sold at one- third of that valuation. In 1824, mills were in requisition, but. not any were on sale; machinery was valued, and sales effected ( after several years' service), at a loss of 40 per cent, on the original cost. In 1824 machine makers could not be procured at any price, and the want was made up by common carpenters. In 1828 machine makers, both masters and workmen, are making preparations for emigration. These are facts, which, though they may be disregarded, as the re- presentation of them has hitherto been, not all the speechifying of all the Huskissonians, and all the Grantites, can controvert.— Macclesfield Courier. On Saturday evening abolit six o'clock, two bovsj about 14 years of age, one named Thorpe, singing boy of his Majesty's Chapel Royal, were bathing in the Thames, opposite ; to Miibank Penitentiary, when they unfortunately got out of their depth, and not being able to swim they sunk; a fisherman who happened to be with his boat near the spot, and seeing the accident, threw in his net, and fortunately drew up one of the lads; he again threw his net, and extraordinary to relate, brought up the other; having rowed them ashore, they were conveyed in a state of insensibility to Westminster Hospital, when the usual , means of resuscitation was resorted to, which was attended with success. It is impossible fo describe the feelings of the parents of the lads, who having heard of the accident, were at the hospital during the time efforts w- ere made to restore them. A COMET.— A comet, visible with a common telescope, for example, one of those callcd by sailors day and night glass, will do very well, made its appearance on Thursday. For persons who are not learned in the science, but who may wish to view the comet with their spying glasses,. it may be observed that they must look for it in the head of the con- stellation Aries, and trace it daily towards the equinoctial point, where it will be nearly on the night of Oct. 20th, but at a north declination of 28 deg. 9min. The constellation Aries ( the Ram), is now seen rising in the E. N. E. about 9 o'clock.— Some persons have foretold the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the re- union of the Eastern and Western Churches, and the re- possession of the Holy Land by Christians, with other great events, from the approaching comet. The farmers were anxiously hoping, that, to use a common phrase, the comet would bring better weather. Now, without entering into any vague speculation about the influence of the celestial bodies on the Atmosphere of the earth, it may be observed, that from a journal of natural phenomena of wixty years standing, it appears that a dry autumn has followed an autumnal comet, and generally hot and dry weather has accompanied Comets first seen in sum- mer. This was remarkably the case in 1811, when a splendid comct appeared in September; ako in 1819, a dry summer and autumn accompanying the comet of July in that year. In 1825 the comet of October brought a dry and fair autumn, and not a wet summer. In 1816, there was not even a small telescopic comet seen in the year, and it was one of the wettest summers known. We are informed by a correspondent, that a new species of the Bejuco de Guaco, so celebrated in- South America for its power of curing wounds made by the most poisonous serpents, is now in full flower in the stove of A. B. Lambert, Esq. of Bayton House, Wilts ( one of the Vice- Presidents of the Linnean Society), running from one end of the stove to the other, and filling the house with the perfume of its flowers. It was raised from seed sent from Carthagena last year to a gentleman in this town, by Mr. Watts, the British Consul there. We also learn from the same authority, that the Theophrasta Americana, a most curious plant, with the appearance of a palm, raised from seed, brought from Stv Domingo, by Dr. Hamilton, ten years ago, has flowered in the same gentleman's stove this summer, for the first, time. The only plants of this curious tree cultivated in Europe, are those raised from the seed, then for the first time brought to England.— Ply mo u th Jo u rnal. NATURAL SULPHURIC ACID.— Though sulphur is found more or less in the vicinity of every volcano, we believe the only instance known of sulphuric acid found in a state of nature is in the island of Java, near Batavia. A lake of sulphuric acid occupies the crater of an extinct volcano, from whence it flows in a rivulet down the sides of the mountain to a consi- derable distance. In the dry season this acid rivulet becomes absorbed by the sandy soil through which it runs; but in the rainy period it unites with another stream, called the White River. The water of the latter, though saturated with a whitish clay, is not unwholesome either to fish or other animals. But after the junction of the acid rivulet, the stream becomes transparent, the acid precipitating the earthy matter, and destroying not only the fish, but all the vegetation it passes over. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT OF A MAMELUKE.—^ At a dinner given by the preseut Pasha of Egypt to our present Envoy, Colonel Cradock, the conversation turned upon tlie great prowess of the old Mamelukes in using the sabre, when Mohammed Ali related the following instance which happened to himself:—" In a skirmish, near Alexandra, I had on me a leather belt, thickly studded with silver nails, and in it a pair of English horse pistols; over this I had an Indian shawl folded three or four times round me. A Ma- meluke, at whom I had fired, rode up to me, and, with one blow of his sword, cut through shawl, pis- tols, belt, my thick cloth pantaloons, and slightly wounded me in the body." HARDENING OF STEEL BY A CURRENT OF COM PRESS K D AIR. From the observation of travellers, that the manufacture of Damascus blades was carried on onfy during the time when north winds occurred, M. Anozoff made experiments on the hafdening* Of steel instruments by putting them, when heated, into a powerful current of air, instead of quenching them in water. From the experiments already made, he expects ultimate success. He finds that, for very sharp- edged instruments, this method is much better than the ordinary one ; that the colder the air and the more rapid its stream, the greater is the effect. The effect varies with the thickness of the mass to be hardened. The method succeeds well with case- hardened goods. By the Act 7 Geo. IV. cap. 76, ( which took effect on the 10th of August instant,) Officers of Customs are exempted from any compulsory serving either as a mayor or sheriff, or in any corporate or parochial employment, or on any jury or inquest, or in the militia. And one justice of the peace may commit for a smuggling transaction. Mr. Home, the celebrated coach proprietor, whose death we mentioned in a former Journal, may well be considered to have been the greatest capitalist in his line, if it be true, as is said, that he possessed upwards of 1,000 horses, and more than 100 coaches. Of servants of one description or other he must have had nearly as many as he had horses. Besides which, he was the owner of five or six of the principal inns in London, and of booking- offices, and stabling of immense extent, both in and out of town. The present fashion of tight waists has, for many years, been condemned by medical men, and for a time had been abandoned. The rage has now become greater than everj and the physicians of the metropolis are reaping an ample harvest from the consequences. It is said that more deaths have occurred among young females during the las{ few months than have been known for many years— all attributable to the Unnatural practice of screwing the lungs, liver, and other parts of the viscera, so as to prevent the possibility of digestion. Inflammation is the consequence, and death must follow.;— Bath Chronicle. The value of the copper belonging to the Ottoman government, said to have been seized by a portion of the Russian fleet, is estimated at 100,000,000 of Turkish piastres. The house of Rothschild had, it is understood, concluded an arrangement for the purchase, but there was not sufficient time for its being shipped off before the Russian fleet made their appearance. A MOORISH FEMALE SAINT.— Captain Beauclerk, in his Journey to Morocco, gives the following ' account of a celebrated female saint. " In passing," the Captain states, 46 through a narrow street, we inquired if a light could be procured for our cigars, upon w hich the black eunuch ran into the house and obtained us one, when one of the soldiers told me that this was the house of a female saint, whereupon I immediately inquired if we . might be allowed to see her. The eunuch being informed of my desire, went into the house again, and presently returned with permission for us to enter ; and we were immediately ushered into the presence of the saint. She was seated eross- Iegged upon a carpet, and rested her track against ft wall. Her person, which was fat, was entirely enve- loped, from the neck downwards, in a dark green cloak ; her head was small and round, her eyes brown and possessing great brilliancy, and a small mouth and good teeth added expression to a countenance not I X^ eds. regularly pretty, but very pleasing and good- humour- ed. She had, however, seen her best days, although she appeared lo be only about five- and- twenty years old. lier greatest charm was her hair, which fell • down upon her shoulders in natural silken ringlets of the most brilliant jet. Never do I renlember to have SPCII so beautiful n head of hair. We made our sa'lams, and she pointed to her carpet, desiring we would be sealed OiTr guards fell down, and touching the hem of her garment with the most profound veneration, kissed their hands, and then seated themselves around her. She opened the conversation by wishing us joy of our safe arrival at Rabat, and proiivisiug us a speedy termination of our journeyv and a niost favourable reception by the Sultan. She then asked which was the doctor, and upon his being pointed out to her, she held out her hand for him to feel her pulse. She com- plained of cold and sore throat, for which* lie' promUed lo send her some physic. She then turned suddenly lo him and said, that i the two I had left at Gibraltar were very ill, and that 1 should ffiid. the young one on my return as I left her.' Then addressing Mr. Mur- ray, she promised him happiness of ihe same sort. All this was said without the least appearance of pre- meditation; on the contrary, from the suddenness with which she turned from one subject to another, and the wild abstracted look of her countenance, she seemed incapable of dwelling long on auv subject. It was ludicrous to observe with what intense interest her audience listened to the loose, incoherent sentences, which at intervals she uttered. Al times' Her mind seemed so abstracted thai she did not seem aware of our presence, and frequently shook Hack h'er long dark iresses, and drew her haiid across iier forehead, as if endeavouring to meet her absent thoughts. At last shi assured us that every good would' attend" our stay at Morocco, and the scene ended by a short prayer, which she mumbled to herself, followed by another, iu which she was joined by all the company present. They then ail knelt down, and, bowing iheir heads lo ihe ground, kissed the heni of her grfrment, and look ( heir leave. Just, however, as we were going away she begged the doctor to look at a relation of her's, who was then in the house, and troubled with weak eyes. She then pointed fo a door, winch was ju. st enough open to allow of our seeing a pair of bright and'dangerous looking orbs, which appeared to me to have no reason It) be called weak A round, snowy arm, decorated with a huge silver braeelet, was ill rust out through the opening, for the doctor's inspection; for these people imagine that every disease of the body is lo be judged of by the pulse. We were not aware, until we left the female saint, how great an honour had been conferred upon' us by our admission lo her pre- sence. She is, as Hadoud told lis, one of the most celebrated saints in ihe kingdom. He added, that liie Sultan sends her, every n « » w and then, a hundred dollars, and waits upon her in person ; aud lhat every one who comes lo Rabat makes her some present ; that she had very great powers of prophecy; and lhat we should find how every thing would come to pass as she had predicted. We ask « ti Hadoud why he had not been to see her. He replied, that her eyes were so touching that be was afraid of committing so great an lhat of being more pleased with the si^ hl A Highlander was one day brought before his chief, being accused of sheep- stealing. The crime being fully proved, Donald was sentenced to be hanged. It, however, happened, that a singular indulgence was allowed to the criminals in those days, viz. the choice of any particular tree they mighl wish to be hanged on. Accordingly the person iij office went up to Donald to inquire of him, " whicli tree he should prefer to be tucked up to r" Donald; with a rueful countenance, shrugging up his shoulders? grunted out, " Oich, oich : For 1 would like a grossuro bush.'*—" A grossurd biish, you fool ! s a grossurd bush is not large enough to hang you on."—" On, oich « but I'm in no hurry; I will just wait till it grow." EXTRAORDINARY TAKE of HERRINGS.— On Friday week Mr. John Gibson, a hardy dud skilful fisherman belonging to Fisherrow, Scotland, shot his nets off Bomer, and took the extraordinary number of 40,000 odd herrings. On reaching shore he sold his whole cargo for forty sovereigns. So large a take at so early a period of the season hag not been known for twenty years. On Monday morning an Irish couple presented themselves at the altar of our parish church to be married. When the ceremony had proceeded to the part in which the man takes the woman for his wedded wife, and the minister was instructing him to repeat the words a. to have and to hold from this day forward," the Irishman turned up his head, and, with the utmost gravity and simplicity, said," What I ar'nt I to have her till this day fortnight ?" The evident concern the man felt at the idea of being kept two weeks longer in suspense, and the amusing nature of the mistake, would have provoked the risibility of any one, and it was with difficulty the minister could attempt to rectify the blunder and proceed with the ceremony.— Sheffield Courant. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.— As some quarrymen last week were levelling the ground before Litfield- place* near the New Observatory on Clifton l) own, they found the ground unusually hoilow, and on opening it, a shaft about 13 feet deep was discovered, on descending which they were led into an apartment or cave, nearly 13 or 14 feet high, in the direction leading to the Avon river, and to which there evi- dently appeared to have been once a communication, but which is now stopped up with rubbish and dirt. It is not improbably supposed that it either was, or led to, the cavern which is called in some of our old Chronicles the Cave of St.. Vincent. Several stalactites were found, which are in the possession of our inform- ant, who has promised us some further remarks OK the subject.— Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. Mr. Hugh M'Coll, gardener at Craigforth, has done much to disprove the opinion generally enter- tained by naturalists that it is impossible to tame and domesticate the partridge. This person cOtnm£ ncedt the arduous task last year, and succeeded beyond his expectations, having got a common hen to rear a covey, which became so tame, that they might be seen, long after their foster- mother had resigned her paternal care, running about., feeding under the window of the mansion- house. This season Mr, M'Coll was enabled to renew his labours under more favourable auspices, from the experience of last year. He has now a covey of five birds, hatched and reared by. a common hen, perfectly tame and domesticated. Although now full grown, and when collected toge- ther presenting a very tempting sight to the eye of a sportsman, they are so fame that they will" run up and pick from the hand of a stranger, with a degree of familiarity seldom evinced by birds even of the common hen species.— Glasgow Chronicle. STEAM- BOAT FOR CANALS.— The proprietors or share- holders of the various canals have hitherto manifested a disinclination to al! owr the use of steam- boats, under the apprehension - ( though a groundless one) of injuring the banks of the canals. But we are happy to find, says the London Weekly Review, the prejudice is likely to be removed, for a steam- boat of about twenty tons, fitted on the princi- ple of steam- generating pipes in lieu of boilers, was lately despatched from the Paddington canal to eds. The vessel had a paddle- wheel in the stern, lieu of one on each side, by which means the ripple of fne water is inconsiderable in comparison with what it is with the ordinary steam- boats on the Thames. It was not considered advisable to work the boat beyond a speed of five or six miles an hour, though the engine would have admitted of nearly double that speed. The consumption of fuel was stated to have only amounted to one ton for the whole distance, consequently the saving of expense in horse- labour must be immense when steam becomes generally substituted for horses in working canal- boats. A MAN DROWNED BY A CAT.— The Weedsport Advertiser relates the following singular story, the incidents of which are stated to have occurred in the town of Cato, at Cross Lake :—" A young man named Stockwell, son of a widow worttan of that name, living in the town, after repeated threats to kill a favourite cat belonging to the house, in order to vex his mothi rac at length undertook to carry them into execution. In the morning he took the cat and started with her into the woods, te'lling his youngest sister that he was going to destroy it. They were absent until the afternoon, when the cat came home, apparently look- ing as though she had been in the water. But little was thought Of the circumstance, however, until night, when the family finding the young man did not return became alarmed. The. rnext morning a party wis mustered to go in scarch of him. They went through the woods searching diligently, and finally Came to the body of water called the Cross Lake, when they discovered his clothes in a heap on fhe bank. A boat was procured, and went off on the lake to make search for his body, and it was dis- covered just rising to the surface of the water from the bottom. The face and one shoulder of the young man were badly scratched, as if done by the claws of a cat, which, taken in connexion with the object of his leaving home, left no doubt but that he was drowned in attempting to destroy the animal in the. lake. The corpse was immediately removed to the house, where, it is stated, another proof was given of his unfortunate end being brought by this animal; for the instant the body was brought into the house, the cat sprang towards it, as if determined to commit violence ; and it was with difficulty it could be kept away. It is supposed that he took the cat off into the lake for the purpose of drowning her, when her resistance brought about the melancholy catastrophe." — American Paper. BEGGING IMPOSTOR. The Worcester City Magistrates have committed John Shirenum to hard labour for or. e month, for obtaining money under false pretences. A petition was taken from him, which stated that he was a mate of the Betsey, . from New York, laden with turpentine and rum; and that, in a tempest, the electric fluid set fire to the vessel, from which he and several others escaped in a impiety as lhat of being more pleased with ihes. uhl of boat that th were after driving about for four her charms as a wo, nun than her presence asn sain... , d ^ ken up by the brig William, of Lynn, and rius delicacy of our friend reminded me ol that feeling, , . ^ f i • i / i-.- * • ciitateil Don Ju; iti in his dt- vol landed in England in a very destitute condition.— A tew examples of this description will be usetul.

ORIGINAL ANECDOTIC OF CURRAN.— One morn- ing, at an inn ift the south of Ireland, a gentleman travelling upon mercantile business, came running down stairs a few minutes before the appearance of the stage coach, in which he had taken a seat for Dublin. Seeing an ugly little follow leaning against the door post, with dirty face and shabby clothes, he hailed him and ordered him to brush his coat. ' I he operation proceeding rather slowly, the im- patient traveller cursed the lazy valet for an idle, good- for- nothing dog, and threatened him with corporal punishment on the spot, if lie did not make haste and finish his job well, before the arrival of the coach. Terror seemed to produce its effect; the fellow brushed the coat and. then the trousers, with great diligence, and was rewarded with sixpence, which he received with a low bow. The gentleman went into the bar, and paid his bill, just as the ex- pected vehicle reached the door. Upon g- etting in- side, guess his astonishment to find his friend, the quondam waiter, seated snugly in one coi ner, with all the look of a person well used to comfort. After two or three hurried glances, to be sure that his eyes did not deceive him, he commenced a confused apology for his blunder, condemning his own rash- ness and stupidity— but he was speedily interrupted by the other exclaiming—" Oh never mind— make no apologies— these are hard times, and it is w ell to earn a trifle in an houest way. 1 am much obliged for your handsome fee for so small a job— my name, Sir, is John Philpott Curran— pray what is youi ' s :" The other was thunder- struck by the idea of such an introduction; but the drollery of Curran sooi overcame his confusion ; and the traveller ne\ er re- joiced less at the termination of a long journey, than when he beheld the distant spires of Dub- in glitter in the light of a setting sun. This deserves to be recorded among the many comical adventures into which Curran was led by his total inattention to personal appearauce, SHREWSBURY: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY W ILLIAM ED DOW ES AND JOHN EDDOWES, CORN- MARKET.
