All places of public resort have, consequently, • been sl: i: t iip, MHI the military cordon for regulating ftitercotirse along'the high roads has been reinstated. Sevastopol, another Russian sea port on the Euxine, is said also to be visited by this baneful scourge: happily the approach of winter, which in that latitude is keen and sharp, is likely to render it of short duration. Every day serves to augment the difficulties with which our " ancient ally" the Sultan has to contend. - Anarchy appears to prevail throughout the whole of his dominions. The last intelligence which lias reached us'froni that quarter represents Asia Minor fo l- e in a complete state of disorganization. The Pachas and their subordinate officers have already trampled on the authority of the Sultan, and the inhabitants of Erzerum are said to have positively refused to submit in future fo the government of the Ottoman Porte. The Pacha of Egypt, there appears little reason to doubt, is making active preparations to declare himself an independent Sovereign, whilst on the other hand. Mahmoud is represented as about to don his battered helm, and to resume bis broken lance, for the purpose of punishing his'vassals' audacity and rebellion. It is really farcical to behold ihe poor Sultan meditating a war at a moment when his Treasury is utterly exhausted, his power prostrated to the earth, and his subjects emigrating from Europe, with a view to establishing themselves on the Asiatic coasts and islands, in such numbers as t « threaten to leave his European dominions as thinly populated as a desert. The following extract of a letter from Lima, dated the 12th of August, will be found to contain some further particulars respecting the political aspect of tilings in Peru ?— We are now approaching an inter- esting period in Ihe politics of this country. There is a plot yet to be developed, and the time is fast approaching when we shall know for wliotn and for what the new ' Jefe Supremo'( La Fuente) is acting. 1 have, a strong suspicion that these new changes proceed from an understanding with General Bolivar, and shall not be surprised should the plan talked about seme time since be put into execution— that is, that these republics be converted into an empire. There has been a grand drama rehearsing some time past, and I think it must soon out. The first thing La Fuente did was to gain a suspension of hostilities wilh Bolivar, and they are now about arranging a treaty of peace with Colombia. It is said the three . departments, Arcquipa, Cuzco, and Ptlno, have separated from Peru, and intend to be . independent of either Bolivar or Peru, Santa Cruz is intriguing there; he is now President of Bolivia. Bolivar is near, or in Guayaquil, which is given up again to Colombia. The Peruvians have made a pretty business of the campaign; they have had two good drubbings by very inferior forces, and out of an army of 7,000 men, ' who invaded Colombia, very few hundreds returned! Sucre, at the head of 3,000 men, attacked and cut to pieces tliree of their best battalions, made them sign a treaty on the field of battle, which the President La Mar violated immediately, and they have paid dear ' for their treachery. But to'give you a faint idea only would occupy far more time than I bave. The foreigners here are a poor set, and appear to me to fear to write home a true account of things here. Young lturbiile, they say, is with Bolivar. Riva Aguero has been in Chili some time ; the president here, La Mar, is banished, they say, to Central America. We are expecting the Congress to meet here, and the Senate. 1 wish you could see a Peruvian senator; many of them tan hardly read or write. Fancy Othello addressing their body with ' Most noble, grave, and potent senadores/ La Euente is handling the reins of government very well, and the change has certainly been very beneficial. He is keeping an eye on the robbers, and we have bad several 4 shooting matches,' so that the roads and streets are likely to be cleared of them. All robbers and assassins are to be tried in 24 hours, and if guilty to tie shot in 12 after.

BRISTOL, Nov. 21.— Proposed New College.— The number of shares required by the prospectus to be taken previously to calling together the subscribers being filled up, a general meeting is convened for Thursday next, the 26th instant, for the purpose of electing a Council, and of adopting such measures as may be necessary for carrying the plan into im- mediate execution^ The following is an outline of the prospectus - " The great end proposed by the establishment of the intended College, is a provision upon the spot, for a complete system of classical and scientific education. It is estimated that the annual expense will not exceed fifteen or twenty pounds for each student. It is the determination of those who have united for this purpose, not to admit any thing into the plan or administration which can lessen an attachment to the doctrines of revealed religion, or interfere with the ecclesiastical institutions of tlie country. And for the advantage of those pupils whose parents or guardians may desire that they should receive theological instruction, according to the principles of the Established Church, it is intended that arrangements shall be made without charge or prejudice to persons of other religious denominations combining in sup. port of the institution. The plan will comprise in- struction by systematic courses of lectures, with exercises and examinations j also personal tuition in all those branches of learning, especially classical and mathematical, which peculiarly require this method of instruction 5 and, with a view to the accommoda- tion of persons residing at a distance, it is intended to adopt such arrangements as shall enable the tutors to receive boarders under certain regulations. Tutors for the principal modern languages, and lecturers on the chief branches of natural philosophy, science, and the arte, will be engaged, as may be found requisite. — It is proposed that, for carrying these measures into effect, the sum of fifteen thousand pounds shall be raised, by three hundred transferable shares of fifty pounds each* which, it is intended shall bear an interest of four per cent, from the payment of the instalments ; that no individual shall hold more than fourshares, each share giving one vote at the general meetings; that the appointment of the tutors, masters, and lecturers, as well as all the other patronage of the institution, shall be ve « ted entirely in a Council appointed by the shareholders and donors of twenty- five pounds and upwards ; that as the number of students must necessarily be limited, the proprietors shall be entitled to the privilege of nominating one student for each share; and the donors for twenty- five pounds and upwards shall have also the privilege of nomination for life." The amount of the land forces voted for the service of the year 1820, was 89,723 men, exclusive of the men employed by the East India Company. 1 he sum voted for the whole expenses of the army, including, every charge connected with it, was £ 6,336,231. The British army is composed of 103 battalions; about twenty of these are in the service and pay of the East India Company, and fifty four , more are disposed of in the Colonies. Four battalions, on the average, are constantly on their passage to relieve the regiments on foreign stations, leaving twenty- five battalions ( exclusive of the Guards) for the service of the united kingdom. The casualties in the army,' according ; to Sir H. Hardinge's estimate, amount to about oriereleventh or one- twelfth, of the : whole forces annually. The Mutiny Bill underwent • an alteration in the session of 1829the clauses, ; which used to. amount to one hundred and sixty- three, are now condensed to seventy- seven, and the bill is rendered more concise and plain. It enables general commanding officers in a ^ district, to order district courts martial instead of regimental courts martial.

WELSH JUDICATURE.— At a meeting of the free- holders and inhabitants of the county of Cardigan, convened by the High Sheriff, and held at Aberayron on Wednesday last, a petition, of which a copy will be found in our advertising columns, was agreed to without a division.— This petition was proposed by Major Lewis, of Llanayron, seconded by Isaac I Joy d Williams, Esq. and supported in convincing addresses by Jarrtes Hughes, Esq. J. Lloyd Davies, Esq. and D. S. Davies, Esq. of Pentre.— A petition, in accord- ance with the views of the Parliamentary Commis- sioners, excepting that it opposed the division of the counties, was prepared, and put as an amendment, by Lewis Lloyd, Escj. of Dolhaidd, seconded by Colonel Brigstock- e, and supported in a qualified manner by Colonel Gwynne, of Mynachty } but was ultimately withdrawn, and the one above inserted carried, as we have already said, without a division.— The meeting was the most numerously anal most respectably attended ever known in the county of Cardigan. In celebration of the marriage of the Rev. T. J. Davies, of Trewylan Hall, and Miss Wrynne, the village of Llansaintffraid, Montgomeryshire, was a scene of great festivity. The friends and tenants wishing to shew their respect for their worthy land- lord, purchased an ox and sheep, which were paraded through the village preceded by a band of music, and many and thankful were the poor and hungry who partook of the meat and bread that was distributed to them, and earnestly expressed their good wishes for health and happiness to the hew married pair in bumpers' of cwrw da. Two sheep were given by Mr. Morgans, of Llandrinio, who distributed them to the poor in the neighbourhood. At the Four Crosses, and at the Harleen, much joy was testified, and sheep distributed to the poor.

CAPTAIN JOHN BENBOW.— We fed a pleasure in rcmMing our readers that, the inscription on the stone commemorative of the burial of Captain John Benbow ( in old St. Chad's cemetery), who suffered for his loyalty in the vicissitudes of the Commonwealth, has been renovated in the course of the past week, .. through the exertions of a private individual:— Wc also. trust, that this will be a stimulus to the erection of same memorial in St. Mary's Church, to the memory of our gallant townsman, ADMIRAL beN- bow, as suggested in our Journal in August, last year; and, , we hope soon to have the further gratifi- cation of announcing the donations already promised towards the furtherance of that patriotic undertaking. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 21. F. X PAttTfi. Mr. WIIATELEY moved for a rule to shew cause why an Attorney should not be s* ruek off the Roll of Ihe Court.— The learned Counsel stated, that by the affidavits it appeared that the person at whose instance the application was made had ob- tained a judgment against a gentleman of the name of Dansey for £ 21G.^ On the Kith of May last a writ of fieri facias was issued, and on the 18th was put into the hands of the party against whom he moved, as Under- sheriff. Having been ruled to return the writ, he returned that a levy had been made, but that the goods seized remained in the Sheriff's hands for want of buyers. A writ of venditioni exponas was then issued, and in the return to that writ It was stated, that the g'oods had been put up to sale, but that uo sale had been made for want of buyers. The affidavits then went on to state, that the Under- sheriff was the attorney and confidential adviser of Mr. Dansey ( being also a relation of his), and that it had been discovered that no warrant under the fieri facias had ever been issued, no bailiff employed, and no levy, in fact, made ; and that the Under- sheriff had acted collusively with the party against whom the ex- ecution had issued, in order to prevent the plaintiff from receiving the fruits of his judgment. It ap- peared, that Mr Dansey was a gentleman of large property in the county, having carriages, horses, hounds, & c. and was well known in the neigh- bourhood. There would, therefore, have been no difficulty in making a levy and obtaining sufficient property to answer the debt for which the execu- tion issued. To shew that the Under- sheriff' ( who was an attorney of this court) had acted collu- sively, it was stated, that he was one of the coroners for the connty, and that before the return of the writ of venditioni exponas he applied to the other coroner, and requested him not to execute any attachment that might be issued against the Sheriff. Lord TENTERDF. N.— Mad you not better qualify your motion, and take a rule to shew cause why the party should not pay the money over to your client? Mr. WHATELF. T said he was going on to state that an action had been brought against the Sheriff, who had allowed judgment to go by default ; and the plaintiff had in that action recovered his original debt : but this being a case of fraudulent collusion, in which a public officer had suffered his private feelings to interfere with his duty, and had lent himself to the interests of the party for whom he acted as attorney, it was thought right, on public grounds, to bring the matter before the Court, in order that he might be called upon to answer for his conduet. Lord TENTERDES Take a rule to shew cause, but do not make it a part of the rule that the party shall answer Ihe mutters of the affidavit ; leave it to liiui to do as he thinks fit.— Rule nisi granted. On Tuesday night, Mr. Mytton, of Halston, met with a serious accident in coming down a hill near Towcester, with his carriage and four horses, on his way from London. One side of the road had been newly gravelled, and blocks of timber laid on the other side to compel carriages, & c. to go on the newlv- made part. The night being dark the postillion took the wrong side of the road, the carriage caipe iu contact with the timber, was upset and dashed to pieces. Mr. Mytton was very much bruised, his valet was taken up for dead, and one of the horses was killed. Mr M. was enabled to proceed forward to Halston, but his servant, unable to bear the fatigue of travelling, was left behind to the care of medical advisers. KING'S COLLEGE— The Council of this Insti- tution proposes to take into union District Schools — some of which are already in the progress of formation— to be conducted Upon the same prin- ciples as those of the lower department of the College; and when, observes the Literary Gazette, we consider how deeply important it is to combine the cultivation of the mind with the inculcation of religious and moral truths, we cannot refrain wish- ing success to a measure which appears to be well advised and well timed. We are sure the public will hail it as a pledge of the intrinsic, though unostentatious activity by which the con- ductors of this enterprise are gradually approach- ing the accomplishment of those high and interest- ing objects to which it aspires; and we avail our- selves of the opportunity thus afforded us to go shortly over the ground of its past progress, in order that those who have charged their brethren with inertness and procrastination, may henceforth render them, both by their opinions and co- opera- tion, the justice to which we think they are de- servedly entitled. During the last fourteen months a sum of £ 120,000 has been raised— the grant of a site, worthy of the object, and well calculated to promote it, has been obtained— numerous and intricate interests in houses adjoining that site have been dealt with and purchased, with a view to secure the convenience of a double access from the Strand— the architect has matured and pre- pared his plans and internal arrangements— a sa- tisfactory, and, as it appears, an economical con- tract has been entered into, and is rapidly execut- ing, for the purpose of carrying those plans and arrangements into effect— the general regulations for the conducting the education of its pupils, on the principles contemplated by its founders, have been digested, prepared, and circulated— and a charter of incorporation has endowed the Gover- nors, Council, and Proprietors with extensive powers for the efficient management of the insti- tution. We would readily add to this brief enu- meration of labours achieved, but shall only ex- press our hope, that what has been began with zeal and judgment, - will be consummated with wisdom and success. DEATH OF GENERAL GARTH.— On Wednesday, died, at his house in Grosvenor- place, deeply lamented, Thomas Garth, Esq. General in his Majesty's service, and Colonel of the First, or Royal Regiment of Dra- goons, aged 85 years.

Sheriff, in the Chair; The following Petition was unanimously agreed to. To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in Parliament assembled. The Humble PETITION of the Freeholders of the County of Cardigan, SHEWE fw, Thai your Petitioners are of Opinion that Ihe Sys- tem of Judicature established in Ihe Principality of Wales in the Reign of King Henry the Eighth, > 1. though in some Respects defective, is capable of Improvement ( without Abolition), particularly in the Appointment of the Judges, aud possesses certain Advantages, the Loss of which would be fell as it serious Inconvenience by ihe Inhabitants at large. That we aie also of Opinion that tlie Constitution of the Courts of Great Sessions in itself requires no Altera! ion, tire greatest Inconvenience in tlie Admi- nistration of the Laws within lliem arising from lire Principle on which the Judges are originally selected, and from there being uo Retiring Pensions when Age and Infirmity have rendered their Mental and Phy- sical Powers unequal to the Discharge of their Duties. That an Improvement in these Respects is desirable, and, we submit, easily attainable, without having Recourse to Ihe violent Remedy of Abolition. That we feel satisfied, if the proposed Abolition takes Place, Evils will attach to this County fareu feeding any possible Advautagestliat may be supposed to arise from the Presence of English Judges. In Lieu of a cheap and expeditions Mode of obiainiu£ Justice, a circuitous and expensive one will be substi- tuted, the social Intercourse of the County destroyed, a serious Cheek will be given tolhe March of Improve- ment and the progressive Assimilation to English Manners and Habits, which the periodical Visits of the Judges iu their respective Couuty Towns have tended greatly to promote. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly hilt earnestly pray your Lordships not so sanction any Change in the Constitution of the Courts of Great Sessions, which, according to the proposed Plan, will deprite your Petitioners of the Advantages they now eu^ oy, by the transferring of their Courts of Justice from their own to neighbouring Counties.

In the years 1817 and 1818, after two bad harvests for gathering them, teasels sold freely at £ 20 per pack ; and, in sonic cases, even higher prices than that were obtained ; but at the present period, not- withstanding there was only a middling harvest in 1827, and exceedingly untoward ones in 1828 and 1829, with the prospect of a very limited quantity on the land for the next year, the article now scarcely realizes £ 2 10s. per pack ! The Somersetshire grow- ers are so dispirited by the heavy losses they have sustained, that many of them seem inclined to abandon the culture of teasels altogether.

[ From the Manchester Chronicle.] It is our painful duty this week to lay before our readers the particulars of a most dreadful affair which occurred in Blackfriars- street, Salford, on the night of Tuesday last. An account of it has already been published, which, in various respects, is incorrect. The following detail will, we believe, convey to the Public an accurate statement of the circumstances under which the alleged murder was committed:— Mr. Thomas Burne, silkman and commission agent, of Spring Gardens, in this town ( Manchester), accom- panied bv Mr. Henry Harrison, were induced to jjo to Salford on the above evening, the annual fair having commenced that day. About a quarter past eleven o'clock three persons, of the names of Thomas Read, Samuel Smith, and Anthony Gray, proceeded up Blackfriars- street to witness Hoiloway's exhibition, and there saw Mr. Burne and his companion standing together. In a few minutes Harrison ran down the street after a woman, he having pulled out of his pocket a white handkerchief, which he placed under his arm. Gray observed, in a tone loHd enough to he heard by Burne, " that man ( alluding to Harrison) has a hole in his coat." Burue instantly went up to Read and his party, and said, " What have you to do with it ?" Read replied, that he had nothing to do with it, but that Mr. Harrison had certainly a hole in his coat. This remark appeared to irritate Burne, and in rather a petulant manner he said, " I'll bet you a sovereign to a shilling that he has not a hole in his eoat?" " Oh!" said Smith, " he must have a hole in his coat, or he could not get it on." By this time Mr, Harrison returned ; when Bnrne asked him w hether lie had a hole in his eoat ? Har- rison replied in the negative; and at this moment Mr. Burne pulled out a small patent pistol, ( which he had been in the habit Of carrying about him in con- sequence of having been robbed some months ago, on his way to his residence in the country,) and struck Smith with the flat part of it. Gray was incensed at this conduct, and observed that it was " not a ri" Tit thing for any man to pull out a pistol in the public • iwet." Burne then struck Gray, Who told him that he would place liiui jn the custody of an officer. Bnrne uttered some strong language, which we at present refrain from publishing; anil his friend Har- rison, fearful that further unpleasantness would occur, seized him by the arm, and urged him to leave the place. He refused, however, to comply with Harri- son's request; and in about a minute afterwards he fired off the pistgl, which was loaded with ball, the contents of which grazed the lower part of the cheek of Samuel Smith, and entered into the head of a Mr. Burne was formerly in partnership in this town, but for sonie time has carried on business oil his own account. He has resided in Manchester for several years, and was always considered to be a respectable and well- beloved man. We understand tbat he is unmarried. COAL MINES OF FRANCE. The Mineralogie Tndustrielle, a French periodical, contains the following observations on the coal mines of that country, and of some other states : " The coal mines in France are not so extensive as in England; but this is because the Consumption is not so great; for the natural resources of France in this respect are very considerable. There are in France forty departments in which coal is found ; but in many of the places the mines are only partially worked ; and of some of the others it can only be said, that the mere fact is known that they contain coal. 23( 5 mines are, however, now worked in France, from which 10,000,000 of metrical quintals of coal are annually extracted; and the value at the mines being 12,000,000 francs, the cost to the consumers is, at least, 40,000,000. The consumption was much less a few years ago. It is, nevertheless, more con- siderable in England, where it is estimated at 76 millions of metrical quintals annually. Of the 10 millions furnished by the mines of France, three are obtained from those of St. Etienne and Rive- de- Giet and its environs, by means of eleven steam engines, six hydraulic machines, seventy machines worked by horses, and 1400 workmen. The greater part of the coal from these mines is of very good quality, and suitable for forges and for the manufacture of gas. THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST. The nobility and landed gentry of Great Britain have serious and responsible duties devolved upon them as lords of the soil, for the due performance of which they are answerable to God, their country; and their descendants, tn letting leases of their lands, it behoves them to be careful that the rent shall neither be so high as to ruin the farmer, by depriving him of a fair profit proportioned to his outlay and labour bestowed tipon the soil; nor yet so low as to deprive the owners themselves and their heirs of tlie means of supporting their due rank iri society, artd thus distributing their income into the various channels through Which tfiey arc bouud by social compact to make it circulate for the benefit of the community at large. Snch are the duties incumbent on British landlords, and well have these duties been fulfilled by them as a body both in the day of prosperity and of adversity. Anxious, on the une hand, to protect the interests nnd further the views of their own immediate dependant?, the practical agriculturists, they do not, oh the other, neglect the encouragement of trade and manufactures, of Which they are at once the greatest and the most liberal patrons. But the pressure of evil times, coupled with the daily accumulating mischiefs which spring from that new fangled system of policy by which those at the helm of the country have thrown down those bul- warks, which were raised by the wisdom of our fore- fathers for the protection and encouragement of agriculture, trade, and commerce, has not passed harmless over the heads of the landowners of this ; country, while it has produced so much injury and In no Tliwe millions of the quantity are extracted from the mines of the north of France, which employ 4,500 |" u'n amongst their inferiors ami dependants, workmen, nine steam engines, and sixteen machines i instance has the tenant been ruined without his land- of different sorts, with seven machines for pumping ' or< l being injured ; in no parts of the country have out the water. This coal is particularly used for | '' t ® labouring poor Been thrown upon the public | for furnaces The other four millions are drawn from support but a large share of that burden has fallen the mines of Litry, Cameaux, C'reuzot, Champagny, uponthe landowner; — and independent of these, which and Ilouchamps, the product of which is increasing. The coal mines in the mountains of the centre and the south of France would be much more productive, were it not for the difficulty of transport, and the want of a market for that article ; from these causes a considerable quantity of coal is left untouched in the departments of Aveyron,- Gard, Loire, and others; may be called evils natural to their station, let it not be forgotten that a Very large portion of the income of this class goes directly to augment the various branches of the revenue, which would otherwise fall with additional weight upon the other already over, burthened ranks of society. In defiance, howeter, of all these obstacles, the voung man of the name of Thomas Foster, son of t', U„ ot' coal of g" 0' 1 ' lu:' li(>'- . T, 1,0f in « h, e vic""'. v Mr. Foster, fruiterer, of Long Millgate, who happened MTl near JemmiWes partKularly, supply a great i •• . ... .. .1 ' narf m I hp rf » n « ; nmiif mn or h'. inpp, I; inrf> nnnntitips nf what is lost may be estimated at a twentieth part of landowners are in general doing their best to support the total produce.^— Belgium is rich in mines; and the interests and relieve the wants of their suffering those in the environs of Mons, Liege, and Charleroi-~ . tenantry. There has not been a single newspaper to the number of 350 — employ 20,000 workmen, and published in any quarter ot* the country for many produce annually about 12,000,000 of metrical quin- m > nths last past, which does not contain accounts of I or more of this class coming forward unasked to make large deductions from the rents of their tenants.

MOMTGOMERY, NOV. 21, 1829. to be standing by at the time, listening to the alter- cation. The unfortunate individual instantly fell, and never spoke afterwards.—- A woman of the name of Gyze was in Black friars- street at the time the event happened, and states that she saw the deceased fall to the ground, but that she does not know by what individual the pistol was fired. She says that at first she thought the young man had shot himself, as she observed Burne and Thomas Smith, tailor, of Cheetham, whom she knew, walking deliberately together from the spot. She ran after them, and touching Smith on the shoulder said, " Smith, I know you, where are you going ?" to which remark'she declares that Smith replied, " Hush, hush, dou't make a noise ; conceal it; don't make any alarm." Hie woman then turned to Burne, and asked him whether he had fired the pistol ? in answer to which question he said, " Oh dear me, it was I that shut him ; there was a ball in the pistol." We understand that Smith denies having used the expression imputed to him by the woman Gyze, and states that he took Burne into custody immediately after lie heard the report of fire- arms, as he observed a pistol in his hand. He adds, that the first words which he spoke to Bnrne were, " You are my prisoner;" and that the latter replied, in a submissive tone, " I am." He further states that Burne appeared to be much agi- tated, and acknowledged that the pistol had been loaded uith ball, but added that it bad gone off acci- dentally, as it was at half- cock, and expiessed a hope that the young man was not shot. The distressing event soon became generally known in the neigh- bourhood, and the street was crowded in a few minutes. Mr. Burnc was afterwards placed in the custody of a watchman of the name of Boardman, by whom he was taken into the Blackfriars Inn. Me attempted, we understand, to bribe the watchman ; hilt of course no attention was pa id to the offer. The watclmian obtained from him the pistol, which he gave up with- out the least resistance. Mr. Lavender, 011 being informed of the event, repaired to the Blackfriars Inn, and there found Burne. Having known him for several years, he was much affected, and exclaimed, " Good GOD, Mr. Btirne, I hope it is not true that you have shot a person !" Burne replied that an accident had unfortunately occurred, for which he was sorry ; and that it had taken place in consequence qf his being drunk. At this time, and indeed during the whole of the time he was at the Blackfriars Inn, he manifested great distress of mind, and appeared deeply to lament the rash act which he had committed. The body of Mr. Foster was carried into the Crown Inn, and Mr. Boutflower, the surgeon, was sent for to render such aid as was necessary. On arriving at the house he found that the young man was alive, but in a state of entire insensibility. On examining the head he discovered a small wound at the root of the left temple, nearly parallel with the ear. No blood issued from it, but a small portion of brain lay upon the hair of the head. There was no other wound upon his head or body. Ill about a quarter of an hour Mr. 1- oster expired. Oil the following day ' Mr. Boutflower, by order of the Coroner, opened the head of the deceased, and fotind, nearly corre- sponding with the external wound, a circular hold'in the skull part. The brain was lacerated from that part to the back portion of ( he right side of the head, where the bullet was lodged. An inquest was held on view of the body on Thursday, at the Crown Inn, Blackfriars, before John Milne, Esq. Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury. Ten witnesses were examined; and Mr. Bpntfiower was called to prove tlis appearances of ( he body of the deceased when he fir, t viewed it, and wheii he examined it on Wednesday. The inquiry commenced at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and occupied about three hours. At the conclusion of the evidence, the Jury retureed a verdict of WiLu r, MURDER against Mr. Burne, and lie was committed to Lancaster Caslle by the Coroner, to take his trial at the next Assizes.— The wrelchcd man, on being taken into the room before the Coroner and Jury, appeared to be overwhelmed with grief at his awful situation, and did not offer any remark.— He was then conveyed in a coach to the Barristers room, New Bailey prison, where he will remain until lie is removed to Lancaster. Mr. Foster, who was nearly twenty- one years of age, was a highly respectable young man, and his untimely death will he a source of the deepest affliction to his parents and numerous friends. He was of exemplary habits, and had been connected for B ime time with the Sunday school attached to Cannon street Chapel, at which place of worship he regularly attended with his family. During the past year he had filled the situation of Librarian to the school, and on the night on which he was shot his annual period of service expired, on which occasion the conductors and teachers of the school passed a vote of thanks to him for his services; which expression of satisfaction, however, was not known to him, as he was absent from the meeting.— On that evening he had visited the house of Mr. Cheetham, pattern- designer, of Broughton- street, Salford, and was on his return home from that place when he met with his death. VYe are informed that he proceeded down Gravel- lane, and crossed over Chapel- street, intending to proceed along Blackfriars. It appears that he was induced to stop for a few moments to listen to the altercation between Burne and the party whose names we have already stated; and whilst standing as a mere spectator of the scene, or in the act of attempting to restrain tlie violence of Burne, he was mortally wounded. He was a person of gentle man- ners, and as he was perfectly sober on the night in question, it does not appear probable that any ex- pressions of a provocative nature had escaped him. When Ihe body was taken into tlie Crown Inn several persons had access to the room in which it was placed, in order that it might be identified; but it was not recognized by any one. The parents of the young man did nut become acquainted with his fate until the following morning, about half- past ten o'clock. His absence during the night had caused them considerable uneasiness; but no suspicion of so dreadful a catastrophe as had occurred entered their minds. On the melancholy tidings being communi- cated to them their distress and affliction were ex- part of ( he consumption of France, large quantities of , we firmly believe that ( with very few exceptions) this Coal being sent to Paris.

Ay AUSTRALIAN ESTATE. The facts on which my opinion were formed have turned out to be true ; but my conclusions were miserably erroneous. For example, 1 was told that an estate of 11,000 acres might be obtained for a mere trifle. This was true. 1 have got 20,000 acres, and they did not cost me more than 2s. per acre. But I imagined that a domain of that extent would be very valuable. In this 1 was wholly mis- taken. As my estate cost me next to nothiug, so it is worth next to nothing. For reasons which I shall mention presently, I tried to sell it, but I could not find a purchaser, without submitting to lose a great part of what I had expended in improvements. Yet there are persons continually reaching the colony on purpose to invest money in the purchase of land ; but when' 1 have made overtures to them, they have grumbled at my price, saying, that they could obtain a grant from the crown for less than sixpence per acre; and when 1 have talked of my " improve- ments," they have answered, that they preferred improving themselves to buying my improvements. In short, my domain has no market value. It is a noble property to look at, and " 20,000 acres in a ring fence" sounds very well in England; but here Mich a property possesses no exchangeable value. The reason is plain ; there are millions upon millions of acres, as fertile as mine, to be had for nothing; and, what is more, there are not people to take them. Of my 20,000 acres I reckon about 5000 to be wood- land, though indeed, there are trees scattered over the whole property, as in an English park. For my amusement, 1 had a rough estimate made of the money that I could obtain for all this timber, were it growing in any part of England. The valuation amounts to above £ 150,000. Now, for my pecuniary advantage, the best thing that could happen to me would be the annihilation of all this natural produce, provided, I mean, that it could he destroyed without cost. The cost of destroying- it out of hand, would be at least £ 15,000. Thus, in point of fact, my timber injures my estate to that amount, instead of being worth ten times that sum. It seems droll, does it not, that an English hundred and- fifty- thousand- pounds- worth of any thing should, any where, be a dead loss of fifteen thousand pounds ? It is true, however, as you may fully convince yourself by reading, in any of the accounts of these settlements, a chapter upon " Grubbing." Fortunately some other things that I possess, and which, if 1 had them in Eng. land, would make me a peer, are not, like the timber, a positive injury. These are mines of coal and iron, in which my estate is supposed- to abound. Being under the surface, they can do me no harm ; and 1 shall take good care that they are not disturbed. For if any one, out of enmity. to me, should bring an army of . miners from Staffordshire, and raise to the surface a large quantity of my coal and iron ore, the cost of throwing it down the shafts again would quite ruin me, if indeed, I could, at any cost, find labourers for the purpose. As for disposing of it in any other way, that would be impossible, for want of roads. Besides, neither the Crown nor individuals would let me injure their land by casting my rubbish on to it. As regards the coal, though, I am mistaken, I might consume it by fire without much trouble. But w hat could I do with the iron- ore, when, even though there should be means to convey it to Sydney, nobody would give me one Birmingham frying- pan for the whole of it. An estate of 20,000 acres, containing rich mines of coal and iron, and covered with magni- ficent timber, is, no doubt, a very good thing in some countries; but here you will lose money by such a possession, if, that is, you have any money to lose, and unless yoti take particular care of it.— Inciter from Sydney, New South I Vales. discharges a single menial he virtually throws another pauper upon the parish ; that when he lays aside his carriage, he in like manner sends at least two more to the same destination ; besides lessening the trade of all the artificers who live by the. manufacture of these vehicles, who are thereby compelled to follow his example by transferring some of their workmen from the shop to the workhouse :— in short the landlord's income circulates through so many useful channels that no portion of it can be stopped without a corresponding injury to the labouring classes. And lastly, let us take into consideration the many public charities which enjoy their main support from the unasked and unwearied benevolence of the land- owners of this country Look to the schools for the education of youth,— the dispensaries & infirmaries for the relief of sickness & accident,— and the almshouses and hospitals for the shelter of old age and infirmity dm-> ngst the labouring classes, and every honest un- prejudiced man must acknowledge that the nobilty and gentry of Britain do nobly fulfil their steward- ship, and that their wealth Could not be better em- ployed, nor diverted into more useful channels than it now is. In the present time of public distress the utmost prudence and forbearance is required on the part of the landlord and the utmost patience and economy on that of the tenant. We have no doubt that both are in general well aware of their mutual, of their " one and indivisible" interest; and that the landlord will in all possible cases diminish his rent to the uttermost, and the tenant cheerfully submit to every possible privation in order to make good that rent, till the eyes of our legislators are opened to the evils which their itch for experiments have brought upon the real interests of the country, and they are compelled to return to the wise and well tried policy of our ancestors. A whole tribe of speculating Jews may thereby become bankrupts and vagabonds, without much injury except to the greedy wiseacres whom they have duped ;— our manufactures may lessen in quantity, but they will improve in price ;— and our generous landlords and their honest independent tenantry will again resume those stations which they held for ages, as the true strength and support of the nation. We sincerely hope that the agricultural interest will make a determined effort in the approach- ing parliament to deliver the country from its present state of distress and themselves from their present undeserved difficulties.

This is the largest piece of coal ever known to have been weighed at the public- wharf machine.— Leicester Herald. A desperate encounter took place cm Thursday night last; iri Lowther Park, betwixt two keepers of the Earl of Lonsdale's and a gang of four poachers. The head keeper, a respectable young man named Harrison, together with an assistant, were going their accustomed rounds, when they came up with the gang, one of whom Harrison, who was two or three hundred yards in advance of his companion, seized and was proceeding to take him away, when another of the fellows called to him by name to let him go or he would shoot him. This Harrisoti refused to do, when the ruffian stepped hack a few paces, and deliberately fired at him. The unfortunate young man Instantly fell, exclaiming he was shot, and on the assistant keeper coming up, the poachers beat him most severely, threatening, that if he interfered with them, they would shoot him likewise. The fellows then made off, and as soon as help could be procured Harrison was carried to a farm- house, where he expired^ on Saturday. Lord Lonsdale has offered 100 guineas reward for the apprehension of any of the gang ; and as they can be recognized by the assistant keeper, there is little doubt that they will be taken. The acquittal of two prisoners at the late Quarter Sessions at Penrith, for an attack 011 the gamekeeper of the Hon.

CoiKtRs.— From information received by Mr. Thomas, the active superintendent of police, that a party of coiners were carrying on their illegal busi- ness at No. 37, Bedfordbury, lie; has been on the watch for some time. On Monday morning, from further intelligence, it was found no time was to be lost ; he accordingly proceeded to the house with a Serjeant of the new police and four men, having previously obtained a warrant from a Magistrate ; he was armed wiih pistols, as was also the Serjeant, as a desperate resistance was expected to he made by the inmates^ of the house. When the party arrived there, Mr. Thomas stationed two of the men at the door, and directed the others to follow hiin ; he then dashed in the door, which was the work of an instant, and entered the house. The first person who ap- peared was a man of the name of Johnson, a notorious character, who has been convicted of several offences; when he saw the officers he gave a piercing shriek, and raised a two- edged sharp- pointed knife, the blade of which was more than six inches long. Mr. Thomas at thesame moment presented a pistol at his head, telling him that if he used any violence he would shoot him ; he was then secured by the Serjeant, and the two men at the same time pinned a man named Iteilly, also a well- known desperate character. A few minutes afterwards, a Woman named Itobinson entered the house, and was also secured by the policemen. The house was then searched, and a quantify of base coin was found. A fortnight since we inserted an account of a Mr. John Riches, who, professing to be about to Open a jeweller's shop in this city, had honoured various tradesmen with orders for furniture, & c. to a large amount; but his integrity becoming suspected, lie was at length put in " durance vile," by virtue of a writ issued at the suit of Mr. Jackson, upholsterer. There not being quite sufficient evidence to maintain a complete charge of swindling, Riches still remains in custody of the Sheriff, but the enquiries which were industriously made in various quarters have at length led to the discovery of his real name and character. His proper cognomen turns out to be John Kent, but he has occasionally, to suit his own convenience no doubt, assumed the names of Sharp, Marsden, and Riches, under which it is suspected his exploits have been very extensive. On Thursday, a person named Wm. Seymour, of Hatfield, who was a suflerer and had long been in pursuit of him, arrived here, and identified him as the man who had sold him a horse which he, Seymour, had since ascertained that Kent had stolen from a Mr. Alexander, of Goswell- street, London ; and yesterday, Wm. lvimy, an officer from the Queen- square police- establishment, West- minster, reached here with a warrant against him for stealing a horse and gig from Mr. Thos. Pellett, of Canterbury. We understand that other charges are likely to be brought against him, so that his transfer from the debtors' to the felons' side of a prison may soon be anticipated.

Several plans and specifications of a suspension bridge, to be thrown across the Avon from St. Vin- cent's Rocks, including those of Captain Brown, the inventor and patentee of suspension bridges, were on Friday submitted to the committee for carrying the undertaking into effect. A beautiful model was also laid before them, made by Messrs. Foster and Okeley, on a scale of ten feet to an inch. The pillars are intended to be sunk thirty feet in the rock, and to be 150 feet high, 50 of which are to be above the level of the bridge. They are to be erected in a line with Sion Row and Nightingale Valley. The whole span is 830 feet, and 570 feet in the clear; the height is 200 feet; it is to be 40 feet wide, of which the foot- path on each side is to be 6 feet. From these mea- surements, it appears that it will be 20 feet w ider and just double the height of the Mcnai bridge. The estimate amounts to between £ 40,000 and £ 50,000.

FIRE.— On Monday night, a violent and de- structive fire burst forth in the warehouse of Messrs. Fairfield and Shallcross, provision- meichants, in Liver- street, Liverpool. The warehouse, which is six or seven stories high, contained a large quantity of butter, bacon, and other articles of a similar kin- i. The tire was discovered about half- past nine o'clock, in one of the upper stories, and so rapid was the progress of the flames that the roof fell in and the whole interior of the building was destroyed in about an hour and a half. The warehouse is surrounded 011 every side with other buildings, and it appeared at one time almost impossible that they could escape. Happily, however, there was not a breath of wind stirring at the time, so that the flames, after raging with frightful violence for about two hours, gradually subsided, and at midnight were nearly extinguished. We lament to add that two perished in the fire.

A great outcry— as our leaders are, no doubt, well aware— has been, within the last year or two, raised against the monopoly of fhe Eiist India Com- pany, the object of which is to iiidqc'e the I legis- lature, on the expiration of the Charter, to throw open Ihe trade fo China and our Oriental, dominions. If we thought that by a proceeding of this kind any real service would accrue to the empire at large— if we were convinced that it would furnish a market to English manufactures, without injury lo our fellow- subjects, the Hindoos— if, in short, we were convinced ( to use the language of the philosophers of the day) that it would be calculated to produce " the greatest good to tbe greatest number," we should at once say, " Let tbe trade be relieved from all restrictions, and all that fhe enemies of tbe company ask be granted." We are, however, satisfied that it would produce no such effect; but that, on the contrary, it would endanger the safety of our Eastern dominions, without the probability of serving any class of his Majesty's subjects. At the same time we do not mean to say that at the expiration of the charter some whole- some reforms might not be effected ; but * ye protest against the sweeping change which the advocates of what is called free trade to fudia are endeavour- ing to produce. The statements that have been put forth against tbe East India Company by itin- erant quacks and hireling writers are so mou strously false, that, if we did not know that they are calculated to produce more effect upon the minds of the uninformed than even truth itself, we should consider it as much waste of time to refute them as it would be to take up the converse of the proposition that the moon is made of green cheese. In cases, however, relative lo which the multitude are uninformed, and iu which they are taught to believe they are very materially interested, the greater the falsehood, the greatet; the popular effect always produced. We shall for the present confine ourselves to the charge, that whilst the trade was in Ihe hands of the company only, it was stationary or deteriorating, and that since it has been, in some degree, thrown open, it has yearly increased. That tiie trade to India has been greatly overdone is a fact so notorious, that it will be universally acknowledged. English manufactured goods, indeed, have been recently sold at Calcutta, and other large towns, at a less price than they could be made for in this country; arid at the pre- sent moment it is well known tile Indian market is completely glutted. Thus, though the trade may have increased, it has not profitably increased— that, in short, the increase, instead of having been beneficial to the country, has been injurious. Yet we are told that a free trade to India would be a panacea for all the evils under which the manu- facturers are labouring; though we find that, even under the existing restrictions, more goods are sent than can be disposed of. From the Standard. We have extracted from the City article of the illornivg Herald some very judicious observations upon the clamour raised by itinerant quacks and ignorant scribblers, against what is called the monopoly of the East India Company. As fur as he goes, we are persuaded the writer in the Morning l/ crald is right, and that " in effect the commerce of the country would rather lose than gain, even in the fit st instance, by tbe overthrow of the Company; v^ hile, ultimately, the continent of India, together with all its trade with it, might be placed in jeopardy by such a violent measure,— such a revo- lution, indeed, as far as India would be concerned. All this evil we think we see plainly; and we see with perfect certainty an immeasurably greater danger in perspective— objects perilled of inesti- mably greater value than any amount of commerce — a country threatened incomparably more inter- esting and precious than India. These objects are our rights as freemen— that country is England. Kthe privilege and profits of its monopoly be with- drawn from the Company, the Company must be relieved, or it Will relieve itself, of the expense of supporting all the military, judicial, fiscal, political, and municipal establishment of that vast section of Asia. The expense will thus devolve upon this country: and as the patronage, of establishments necessarily attends the expense, the whole patron- age of the richest half of Asia,— a patronage ten limes greater iu amount than vyhat George the Third said truly would take the crown off his head, — will fall into the. hands of the minister of the day. We care not who fee may be : let hint be as honest as Perceval, or as nijtd aijd kind- hearted as Gode- rich, that minister will owe it to hii own virtue, and to his. own virtu.^ only, if he do nof depose tue reigning family, and abolish the Houses of Parlia- ment. lie will have the povy'cr to. elxi so. This iyay to be exaggerated PEAKL DIVING. The following remarks on this important subjec are translated from the Bulletin des Sciences. The Editor commences by slating that a single iron rail- nay and ifs appendages to be constructed between Liverpool and Manchester will cost nearly two mil- lions of francs; and lately orders have been given for four hundred wroughMron wheels for the waggons, and two hundred axle- trees The rail- ways which have been planned, and the execution of which has already commenced in several places, will require the employment of iron to the amount of twenty-£ igbt thousand pounds sterling.

Mr. justice I'ARK stated that he had conferred with his learned brother. Baron Vniiglxin, and that hi' had his authority fur stating that the verdict was to his entire satisfaction. Lord TENTERDEN.— T- he first objection made in this case is the admission of fhe judgment in a prior action of trespass respecting the property, bu't in which Sir. Blair was not a party on the Record, The simple question is, whether Mr. Blair was not the real plaintiff, though the names of other parties were oil the Record. After all that has passed ii; this Court and elsewhere, we should be acting con- trary to common sense if we were to say'lie was not; this puts an cud to this question. Secondly,— That certain witnesses were examined on behalf of Mr. Wynne, who were interested in establishing his case, as the decision would affect their rights of Common. If there was any tiling in this objection, it shoiild have been more fully insisted upon at the trial, and the witnesses examined on the r'obr dire; this was not done, and probably if it had, you would not have been able to make any thing of if.— RULE REKU8I D.

The territory about the patronage of w liieli the w hole question is concerned, has b. een increased fourfold in extent, and, by the extinction of all adjacent rivalry, as well, as by the general improvement of commercial pursuits, Iweutyfuld in val. ue. The independence of Parliament, and the sympathy of Parliament with the People, aud the personal influence of the Sovereign;— have they increase!) ill a proportiot), to balance such a pro- digious accession of strength to the bauds of the minister? Alas !, no ; the " subserviency of parlia- ment, and; its indifference, to the feelings of the people, have been proved to a degree which it would have been thought treason to surmise in 1783 The King lias been forced to yield with tears, what his father said be would, not yield, though his head were laid to the scaffold. By its last act of subserviency, too, the parliament has made recovery to independence eternally hopeless; it has given to the will of the minister one hundred voles, one hundred Irish members, who, at the next election, will be cither Papists professed, or nomi- nal Protestants, willing to do the work of the priesthood, which, as the minister has in his bands the bribe on earth most covetted by that priest- hood, will be the work of the minister^ We ask then, once more, are we not justified in repeating the language employed against Mr. Fox's billj which bill, too, only proposed to admit the minister of the day into a partnership w ith the directors iq the disposal of. that patronage which tile present project of the quacks would surrender to him alto- gether. To the people we address this language, whicl) it would be in vain lo address to the houses of parliament. The members of those houses kno well in what stream a flood of patronage thrown upon the Minister will naturally flow off. Let the people remember, then, when an impudent quack talks to them about the " price of tea," or the demand for calicoes, or other stuff of the kind, that he is not figuratively but literally inviting theui to an imitation of that glutton who sold his birthright for a meal— for but one meal, too; for they have full experience in the cases of beer, and sugar, and tobacco, that a minister knows how to tax as well as a company ;— with this fearful difference, that ministerial taxes furnish arms which may be em- ployed against the freedom of the people, which is not the case of the taxes levied by any commercial company. In what we have said w'e have made no allusion to any particular minister, because the ease of danger is so strong that it cannot be en- hanced by any mall's personal character; scarcely an angel ought lo he trusted as a minister, after the patronage of India has been wrested from its pre- sent possessors :— to make a man a minister in such ease were almost to compel him lo tyranny and usurpation. A field of potatoes at Crookbolut, in the parish of Caunoubie, belonging lo Col, Meiii, was, planted in drills by the plough, and has produced the largest crop ever heard of in that part of the country. The groiitid was accurately measured, and the soil, one half of which is light and sandy loaui, uqd the other half a 6tiff heavy loam, yielded as follows:— The light half of the field upwards of ISO Carlisle bushels lo the acre ; the other half upwards of 196 bushels. Tbe kind which produced this enormous crop is called the Mexican Early, which is not only a good potatoe to eat, but will keep all the year round. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, held in London on Wednesday last, James Hosier was sentenced to_/? re nfontks' imprisonment for vexatious e'. i'l; i v towards his creditors, by copipcliing' a respectable' manufacturer of Birmingham to incur tbe expense of a trial at the county assizes, in order to establish a just debt. Some recent proceedings in the Court of Chancery have been fhe occasion of the publication of several affidavits, and of much observation, iu the London Papers. That excellent paper, The Standard, gives, apparently from authority, the following explanation of what would otherwise appear a mysterious affair:^. ( t Captain Garth is the son of General Garth. General Garth is, by a marriage fulfilling all the moral and religious conditions of such a contract, the husband of an illustrious lady. ' Ihe union, however, though such as must satisfy the most scrupulous and delicate eouscience, is, by a law affecting one family, and one only, in the realm, politically invalid. Ft was, therefore, deemed pro- per to withhold any public declaration of it, though no attempt, we believe, was ever made to conceal it from such of the immediate connexions of the parties as were of discreet age. Captain Garth, the offspring of the marriage, was therefore edu- cated as a private gentleman, the rank to which his father's station entitled hfjft. j perhaps he was in. dnlged to form habits of expense above that rank : for it is difficult to explain from any other causes the course which he lias run. " Overwhelmed with debts, Captain Garth, hav- ing exhausted all fair means of importuning- his unhappy parents to minister to his necessities, be- took himself at length to menaces, and having " surreptitiously obtained*' a number of letters that had passed between his father and mother in the confidence of married life— letters which WE KNOW contained, and could have contained, nothing but what would naturally and innocently pass between persons in that close relation— nothing that was not honourable to the illustrious lady— nothing iu the slightest degree reflecting upon any member of her family,— having * surreptitiously obtained' these letters, Captain Garth threatened to publish them in full, if he should not B- E PAID for their suppres- sion. The lady whose dreadful misfortune it is to have given birth to such a son, was at the time in extremely delicate health, from nervous affection; the shock of such a cruel threat alone would kill her, and there were other considerations of great weight, which would strongly urge the propriety of suppressing the affair. The marriage, which it was threatened fo expose, was in some measure a violation of the law, and by a member of the family most bound to respect it. Nothing could be said in its justification, in fact, by which the wisdom of a law, to which, we believe, the first person in the country is strongly attached, would not be con- demned. There was, too, the inconvenience, to be apprehended from exposing to the gluttonous curiosity of a public, ever gre. edy of gossip, all, Ihe little trifling communications between mail aud wile, ruuniug through several years— through the seasons of those undignified joys and cares of which the staple of our lives is composed. " The security of persons iu bumble life is, that few would lie at tbe pains of reading our private letters, if they were printed:; but still we are annoyed, if we iiijd that a country post- njislress indulges a passiou. for domestic anecdote at tlie expense of our privacy. The dislike to impertinent intrusion must be still stronger in the higher ranks. What brother, we ask, would like to see the public walls posted with the private letters of his beloved sister;— to her husband? Yet there is nothing in the several mysteries of chalking and placarding whicl) could give half the notoriety to aay. letters of private persqns that must have been obtained at once by the letters which Garth threatened to publish, " This matter was seen at once in its proper light, bj. au iliustripus person, whose sagacity aud good taste have never been found to fail. As prince and brother, he felt, it his duty, to, put an end to the perplexing difficulty at any reasonable sacrifice; perhaps he considered, too, that silly and prodigal as Garth had been, lie was a young man, he might reform; and as a member of the most illustrious family in the empire, by a morally and religiously, though not politically valid mar- riage, he was entitled to some respectable provision from that family. Sir II. Taylor was therefore authorised to offer Garth the means of relieving himself from his present difficulties, and also an annuity, which should enable him to maintain a rank in some degree suitable to the circumstances of his birth ( i'SOOO to pay debts, and £ 2000 annuity, hich for such objects could not be thought too much). Two conditions, however, were to be imposed, which sufficiently indicate the kindly spirit in which the negotiations were carried oil by Sir H. and the illustrious party for whom he acted. Garth was required to reform his plan of life by breaking up a ruinous establishment, and to put the papers which he bad ' surreptitiously obtained' into hands in which they could not be employed to wound his mother's feelings, or the feelings of her family. Pending the negociations, the papers were placed under seal in the house of < Paul, Snow, and Co.' the respectable bankers. " Garth's agent in the affair, Mr. Westmacott, a literary gentleman, who seems to be by far too honourable a man to suit the purposes of his employer, was made, with Sir Herbert Taylor, the joint guardian of the box. These two gentlemen for some lime urged the arrangement with honour- able zeal, but with perfect fairness on both sides, when it was found impossible ( as we see by the affidavits) to do any thing, from the utter shuffling and incorrigible folly of tbe youth. No true state- ment of his debts could be obtained from him,— no promise of reform could be enforced. The com- promise, therefore, broke off, and the only fact which it was material to withhold from the public, namely, Captain Garth's relation to an illustrious lady, having transpired in the course of it, there is not much chance of its being renewed ; in the mean time the captain has filed a bill in chancery for tbe recovery of the ' surreptitiously obtained' papers, and this bill has been answered by affidavits. « The upright, honest gentleman ( Capt. Garth), however, it seems, kept attested copies of the papers which he was professing to give up abso- lutely, and to an eternal oblivion, and which he was at the time pretending to sell absolutely aud bona fide, and to sell for money; and as we pre- sume the publication will come forth in. dne season, we beg to suggest a title for them:—' These are ' papers which a son surreptitiously obtained from ' his father, in order to raise money upon them by ' exposing his mother's private correspondence, and ' those circumstances of her life, which she was ' desirous of concealing, aud papers of which this ' same sou kept attested copies, at a time when lie, ' pretended to sell them, wholly au( l finally.' " With such a title, every one w. ill receive them, we doubt not, as genuine, unintei polated, unso- phisticated; in a word, as absolute verity." Don Pablo Osltou, who was for many years a superintendent of the fishery, and himself a most expert diver, gave nic the following account of one of his watery adventures :— The Placer de la Piedra Negada, which is near Loretto, was supposed to have quantities of very large pearl- oysters round it— a supposition which was al once confirmed by the great difficulty of finding this sunken rock. Don Pablo, however, succeeded ill sounding it, and, in search of specimens of the largest and oldest shells, dived in 11 fathoms of water. The rock is not above 150 or 200 yards in circumference, aud our adventurer swam round and examined it in all directions, but without meeting any inducement to prolong his stay. Accordingly, being safisfieel that there were no oysters, he thought of ascending to the surface of the water; but first he cast a look upwards, as all divers are obliged to do who hope to avoid the hungry jaws of a monster.— If ( he coast is clear they may rise without apprehen- sion. Don Pablo, however, when he cast a hasty glance upwards, found that a tinterero had taken a station about three or four yards immediately above him, and, most probably, had been watching during the whole time that he had been down. A double- pointed Stick is ail useless weapon against a tinterero, asits mouth is of such enormous dimensions that both tnan and stick would be swallowed together. He therefore felt himself rather nervous, as his retreat was now completely intercepted. But, under water, time is too great an object to be spent in reflection, ami therefore he swam round to another part of the rock, hoping by this means to avoid the vigilance of his persecutor. What was his dismay, when he again looked up, to find the pertinacious tinterero still hovering over him, as a hawk would follow a bird! He described him as having large round and inflamed eyes, apparently just ready fo start from their sockets will' eagerness, and a mouth ( at the recollection of which he still shuddered) that was continually open- ing and shutting, as if the monster was already, in imagination, devouring his victim, or, at least, that the contemplation of his prey imparted a foretaste of the gout. Two alternatives now pfesented themselves to the mind of Don Pablo; one, : to suffer himself to be drowned— the other, to be eater.. He had already been under water so considerable a time that he found it quite impossible iny longer to retain his breath, and was on the point of giving himself up for lost with as much philosophy as he possessed. But what is dearer than life ? The invention of man is seldom at a loss to find expedients for its pre- servation in cases of great extremity. On a sudden he recollected that on one side of the rock he had observed a sandy spot, and to this he swam with all imaginable speed ; his attentive friend still watching his movements, and keeping a measured pace with him. As soon as he rcached the spot, he commenced stirring it with his pointed stick in such a way that the fine particles rose and rendered the water per- fectly turbid, so that he could not see the monster nor the monsler him. Availing himself of the cloud by which himself and the tinterero were enveloped, he swam very far out in a transvesical direction, and reached the surface iu safety, although completely exhausted. Fortunately lie rose close to one of the boats; and those who were within, seeing him in such a state, and knowing that an enemy must har e been persecuting him, and that by some artifice he had saved his life, jumped overboard, as is their common practice in such cases, to frighten the creature away by splashing iu the water, and Don Pablo was taken into the boat more dead than alive.— Hardy. JHIsccUaneous Intelligence. IMPORTANT TO GARDENERS AND OTHERS — The following curious particulars have been noted to decide a wager made in the early part of the present year, by two agricultural gentlemen resid- ing in Yorkshire, respecting the comparative merits of two modes of planting potatoes. A single potato was cut into 28 sets, each having one eye, and another potato was divided into 18 sets, each having two eyes; these respective sets were planted in a garden at Harewood, on the t3d of April last, and the produce was gathered on the 31st of October, when it was found that the pro- duce of 26 which had taken root out of the 28 sets with one eye was 6st. 13lbs.; while the produce of the 18 double sets only amounted to 3st. ll! bs ; thus proving to demonstration the superior ad- vantage of planting w ith single- ey ed potato sets. On Monday week, at Loch Ransa, Isle of A. rran, a man of the name of John Hunter, while digging iu a place from which a pond had been lately drained off, discovered two swallows in a state of torpor. Oil placing them near the fire they recovered ; one unfortunately escaped, but the other was kept, and Hunter intends taking it to Glasgow, to show it to the curious. The fact in natural history, that swallows are torpid in winter, has long been doubted, but this discovery will weigh greatly in establishing this curious and interesting!: fact. SINGULAR ESCAPE Some days ago a horse, while grazing on the face of a hill near Dollar, slipt his foot, and rolled down a distance of forty feet. Some people who happened to witnessthe circumstance, were astonished to observe, that no sooner had the horse reached the bottom of the hill than he suddenly disappeared. On proceeding to the spot, they disco- vered that he had fallen into an old coal- pit, which, notwithstanding that it was 25 fathoms deep, it. would appear, had not been covered up. Although they had no hope that the poor animal could be taken out alive, they immediately got ropes, with which, and with the assistance of about a dozen men, he was, after considerable difficulty, dragged up, and placed upon his feet, when the party were not more astonished than agreeably surprised to find that he hail escaped from his perilous adventure without receiving the slightest injury.— Edinburgh Weekly Journal. HONOURABLE CONDUCT OF WELSH FISHER- MEN.— The br ig Jane, E. Huster, master, of aud from Drogheda, bound to Port Penrhyn for slates, was on Thursday night abandoned, about one mile outside Penmou Point. The wind being N. N. W. and the vessel having her sails set, came in safely through the Sound without any one ou board-, and eventually ran oil shore on a sand bank near Penniaenmawr, on the Carnarvonshire side, having sustained, little or no damage. Four fishermen from Couway, perceiving her situation at daylight, went to her, and finding no one aboard, they took charge of the vessel. The master aud crew having laqded in safety iu the boat, at Peqmon, in Anglesea, next morning proceeded to the vessel, which they found Hie fishermen in charge of, who had taken care of the properly, aud delivered up to the master his money and whiskey, wliieh lie had left in his stateroom, with the key in the door. A SCENE AT WATERLOO.— While each regiment was covering itself with glory, the 28th was elcspeiy ately engaged: notwithstanding the unfavourable ground where the regiment was posted, surrounded by standing corn, which effectually concealed the cavalry until they were nearly in the act of charging, and exposed to the fire of a French battery that played with grape upon them from the heights above, the 28th regiment formed their square with the regularity of a parade. In vain the lancers rushed through the deep rye to seek an entrance by the openings caused by the cannonade. As the men fel|, the space was coolly but instantly filled up. Num- liers dropped ; but while the faces of the square sensibly decreased, it presented a serried line of bayonets, impassable alike to lancer and cuirassier. Determined to penetrate, the enemy at the same moment rushed upon it from three different sides: two faces of the square were charged by the lancers, while the cuirassiers gallopped down upon another. It was a trying moment. There was a death- like silence; and one voice alone, clear and calm, was heard. It was their colonci, who called upon them to be " steady." On came the enemy ! the earth shook beneath the horsemen's feet, while on every side of the devoted band the corn, bendipg beneath the rush of cavalry, disclosed their numerous assailants. " Steady, men; steady!" The lance blades nearly met the. bayonets of the kneeling front rank. The cuirassiers were within a few paces: not a trigger was drawn; but, when the worel « Fire !" issued froiu the colonel's lips, each side poured out its deadly volley, and, in a moment the leading files of the French lav before the square, as if hurled by a thunderbolt to the earth. The assailants, broken and dispersed, galloppe. d off for shelter to the tall rye, whjle, a con- stant stream of musketry from the British square carried death into their retreating seiuadrons.— Sturits of Waterloo. We are sorry to learn that Galashiels, the seat of our infant woollen manufactures, is in a most disas- trous condition. The failures within the last few weeks have exceeded any thing ever known in the place, and among the sufferers are several respectable houses which stood firm during all the trials of 1826, and many preceding periods of depression. The extensiveness of the mischief we understand, is partly attributed to the facility with which discounts were obtained, and to the system of accommodation bills which had grown up in consequence.—. Seedsman. The advices from Mexico by the Emulous trans- port, state that the efficient force of the Spaniards in Tampico was only 2000 men, and that there was no preparation for penetrating into the interior. The Patriots had assembled in great numbers under Santa Anna, and were preparing to bombard the place, which it w as thought must speedily surrender. The merchants and others had embarked, and removed their property up the river, for which purpose Santa Anna had given them six days' free egress. Mr. Crawford, the British Consul at Tampico, left that place for Vera Cruz in the Emulous.— From the city of Mexico the advices are to tbe 29th of August. They continue to represent public feeling as most decided and unanimous against the Spaniards, and repeat that they do not know of a single instance of desertion from the Mexican forces. All the States in fhe interior were hastening supplies to the coast. A forced loan was levying throughout the country ; and the Executive was armed by Congress with despotic power, so long as the Spaniards should remain in the country. LORD MAYOR'S DAY.— The Bill of Fare at the Lord Mayor's Feast, given in the Guildhall, on the 9th instant, w as as follows :— 200 tureens of turtle, containing three pints each ; 50 dishes of chickens and pullets; 50 capons; 30 boiled turkeys and oyster- sauce, hot ; 45 liatns, ornamented ; 30 tongues, ditto ; 15 stewed rumps of beef, hot ; 30 dishes of shell- fish; 15 raised pies; 30 pigeon ditto ; 6 dishes of fish ; 2 barons of beef; 3 pieces of sirloin; 3 ditto rib9 ; 2 rumps of beef; 3 rounds of beef; 50 dishes of mince pies ; 30 marrow pud- dings; 40 apple and other tarts; 105 jellies and creams ; 120 dishes of brocoli and potatoes.— Re- more : 40 turkeys; 105 dishes game; 50 dishes wild fowl.— Dessert: 160 pounds weight of pine- apples; 150 dishes hot- house grapes; 50 dishes apples, various sorts; 50 dishes pears; 40 dishes walnuts; 100 ornamented cakes, & c.; 50 dishes dried fruit; 50 dishes preserves ; 200 ice creams.— Wines t Champagne, Hock, Claret, Madeira, Port, Sherry. To EXTRACT A GLASS STOPPER.— It frequently happens that tbe glass stoppers of vials and bottles filled with scents and chemical preparations, become fixed so tightly that they cannot be removed by force without the risk of breaking the vessel. The following is a very simple and efficacious method of unstopping them, which is brought into notice by an intelligent writer in a German publi- cation. Take a large strip of wool, pass it once round the neck of the bottle, attach one end of this band to some fixed object, hold the other, and then see- saw the bottle along it. The friction will soon heat the neck of tbe bottle, and, with tbe heat, the ueek will expand sufficiently to allow of the stopper being extracted. Tbe Stafford paper says—" Our readers are aware that there are employed on the new canal which is in course of formation through the western part of this county, and which forms part of tbe intended Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, a vast body of labourers, who call them- selves u navigators." In the parish of Gnosall alone they amount to two thousand. It is not surprising tliat so great a number of inen of their habits and character, collected tegether in a part of the coun. try but thinly peopled and without any efficient police, should engage in dishonest and turbulent acts. We have had lo record recently several cases of sheep and poultry stealing, in which there is little or no doubt some of these men have been the offenders. They have at length advauced from acts of iniduight depredation to proceedings of a tumultuous aud riotous description in the open day. At a Petty Sessions held ou Saturday, at Stafford, before Earl Talbot, Viscount Sandon, Francis Eld, Esq. and the Rev. R. Levett, warrants were issued for Ihe apprehension of eight of these ( t navigators" and a publican of Gnosall, on a charge of riot and assault, and against two others on a churgc of felony. Eight special constables were sworn to execute fhe warrants ; aud on Monday, some of the men were brought before Earl Talbot and Mr. Levett, and were remanded for further examination on Wednesday. On this latter day, six of the nine men were charged on the information of William Bradbury, of Gnosall, publican, with having com- mitted a riot upon his premises; and three, in- cluding Madcley, the publican, were held to bail, aud three others were coiumitted for trial at the next assizes There are several warrants against other " navigators," who are to, be brought before the Justices this day ( Saturday). The inhabitants of Gnosall and the neighbourhood are so much alarmed at these proceedings that they have applied for the appointment of a large body of special constables. They are also desirous that a small military force should be stationed in the parish." A number of special constables were in consequence sivorn iu before the Magistrates at the County Hall. ORIGIN OP PAPER MONEY.— The. veracious Spanish historian, so often quoted hy Irving iu his Conquest of Granada, Fray Antonio Agapida, relates that the Count de Tendilla, while besieged by the Moors iu Ihe fortress of Athama, was destitute of gold and silver, wherewith to pay his soldiers, whei began to murmur, seeing they had not the means of purchasing the necessaries from Ihe people of the town, " ill this dilemma," says the historian, " what does this sagacious com- mander? He takes a number of little morsels of paper, on. which he inscribes various sums, large and small, and signs them with his own hand aud name. These did he give to the soldiery in earnest of their pay. How, you will say, are soldiers to be paid witli scraps of paper ? Eveii so, I answer, aud w ell paid too, as I w ill presently make manifest, for lire good Count issued a proclamation ordering the inhabitants to take these morsels of paper for the full aipnunt thereon, inscribed, threatening severe piiiii^ hmeut to those who refused, and promising to redeem them at a future time with silver and gold : thus, by a subtle and most miraculous alcbymy did this Catholic cavalier turn worthless paper into precious gold, and make his late impoverished garrison abound in money." Irving adds, that the Count de Teudilla, redeemed bis promises, like a royal l^ oight, aud t. hjs. ipi|- aqle, as. it appeared ill the eyes of Fray Antonip, Agapido, is. the first instance oq record of papqr money, \\ l[ if.' h has since inun- dated ihe civilized, w. qrld with unbounded opulence. This happened iu 1484- FORCED NOT^ S.— A man, calling himself James Stewart, w. hp appears to be a wholesale dealer in forged country bank notes, is now in tbe custody of our pqlice fur further examination. He was. appre- heueled uneler the following circumstances: — A fe- male, named Elizabeth Itamsden, was apprehended in June last, and eletained some time iu custqely, for passing, forged five pound notes of the- Rochdale Bank. She said that a man, who had taken a liking to her, got her to procure him chaqge for two or three notes, and wished her to travel with him to Birmingham, which, she declined; he then gave her four £ 5 notes, to keep her until his return to Liver- pool, which he said'would be in about three months. When he was gone, she changed the notes as she hail occasion. There appeared to be no reason to doubt her slatement, and, when she was discharged, she promised that, if she saw the map again, she would give notice to the police. Last Tuesday, evening, she saw him again, in Dawson- street, where she lives, and asked him if he remembered giving her t| ie notes. He said he did, but, desired her not to speak of it before company. She told her landlady of the cir- cumstance, and they sent for a constable; but the man, suspecting something of tjte sort, pushed her down and ran out of the house. Sl( e followed him, and met Sockett, who, aftersome search ip and about Williamson- square, apprehended him ip the Theatre Tavern. He said he had arrived from Belfast that day, he did not know by what packet, and had not taken, any lodging. Next morning, however, it was discovered, that on Monday he hail taken up his lodgings at a house in Redcross- street, where a trunk was delivered to Sockett : is belonging to him, and a key, which opened it, was found in his pocket. In the trunk were founel two parcels, containing 93 Roqhdale Bank notes for £ 5, and 325 Leeds and Pontefract Bank notes for £ 5, which had been recently worked off from the plates, and were nqt signed or filled up.— Liverpool Albion. A very valuable addition is now making to the materia medica by tbe foreign chemists, though we believe that it has not yet found its way to Eng- land. It consists in the use of variolaria as a subslitqte for quinine. This species of lichen grows in abundance on the bark of the beech tree in mountainous districts; and, from experiments, we believe, first tried by M. Cassebeer, it is proved to have the same febrifuge qualities as the Peruvian bark. A New Fleet, Market, the property of the Corpora- tion of London, was opened for the commencement of business on the 20th instant. This new market forms a handsome and elevated quadrangle of 232 feet by 150, standing on a surface of one acre and a half. The purchase of the ground and buildings which stood thereon is estimated in round numbers at £ 200,000 ; the building of the market, including paviours' accounts, & c. is 9tated at £ 30,000. The avenue, under which are the shops of the dealers, and which extends round the building, is 25 feet high to what are technically termed the tie- beams, with ventilators ranged at equal distances. The sliops in general are let at 15s. a- week, or with a parlour 25s. per week. In the centre of the principal avenue a beautiful turret and clock have been placed ; the latter is constructed on the same principle as the clocks of St. Bride, St. Giles, and Whitechapel. The chief entrance to the market is by two principal gates for waggons, & c. and two smaller ones for foot passengers; besides these, on each side of the quad- rangle, massive oak doors are to be thrown open from morning till the close of public business. Eighteen large lamps are placed in the centre of the market, so that an ample supply of light will be afforded. The shops have all been let. The tenants in the old market have been formally served with notice to quit, and it is thought that it will be entirely cleared in a short time. The whole street from Blackfriars- bridge to Holborn is then to be thrown open, and subsequently it is in contemplation to continue the roaei in a direct line of communication, terminating at the Angel, at Islington. Tbe street where the old market now stands is to be called Farringdon- street, and will form one of the widest and most commodious thoroughfares in the metropolis. The new market is placed uneler the strictest superintendence, and nothing but eatables are to be offered for sale in it. Some experiments were made lately, by order of the French Minister of the Interior, on the milk sold in Paris; from which it appears, that to conceal the reduction of strength by the addition of water, the milk- sellers adopt various modes of adulteration. Having removed the buttery part, which, from ifs specific gravity, rises to the top, and which is sepa- rately sold as creme ( an article very different from cream as we use it in England), the milk sellers adel sugar to give flavour, and a thickened portion of flour, gently boiled, so as to mix well with the milk, and not precipitate. To whiten the milk, which, thus reduced and adulterated, acquires a slight violet, or, as it is called here, sky blue colour, they use a little emulsion of almonds, prepared with brown sugar. To keep the milk from turning in hot weather, they add a small quantity of carbonate of soda. The chemical means of detecting these adulterations have been made public in France by order of the minister, but they are too tedious and scientific to be generally useful. It appears that the consumption of milk in Paris is now double what it was twenty years ago, without reference to the increase of population, owing to the more general use of cafe au lait among the working classes. The addition to the number of cows, however, is by no means in proportion.— Lit. Gazette. STEAM ENGINE.— The following beautiful de- scription of the powers of the steam engine ought to be iu every ousf's memory, and is from the pen of Dr Arnott, in his most useful woi'kou the Elements of Physics:—" In the present perfect state of the steam engine, it appears a thing almost endowed with intelligence. It regulates with perfect ac- curacy and uniformity th. e number of its strokes in a given time, aud counts or records them moreover, to tell how much work it has done, as a clock records the beat of its pendulum; it regulates the quantity of steam admitted to work ; the briskness of the fire ; the supply of water to the boiler; the supply of coals to the fire. It opens and shuts its valves with absolute precision as to time and man- ner; it oils its joints; it takes out any air whieh may accidentally enter into parts that should be vacuous; and when any thing goes wrong which it cannot of itself rectify, it warns its attendants by ringing a bell:— yet, with all these talents and qualities, and even when possessing the power of six hundred horses, it is obedient to the hand of a child. Its aliment is coal, wood, charcoal, or other combustible; it consumes none while idle— it never tires, and wants no sleep; it is not subject to malady when originally well made, and only refuses to work when worn out with age. It » equally active in all climates, and will do work of any kind ; it is a water- pumper, a miner, a sailor, a cotton- spinner, a weaver, a blacksmith, a miller, & c. See. and a small engine in the character of a steam- pony may be seen dragging after it on a rail- road a hundred tons of merchandize, or a regiment of soldiers, with greater speed than that of our fleetest coaches. It is the king of machines, and a permanent realization of the genii of eastern fable, whose supernatural powers were occasionally at the command of man !" LARGE TELESCOPES.— At a meeting of the Astro- nomical Society, on Friday last, the President ( Mr. South) announced, that he had succeeded in pur chasing two of the largest object- glasses that had ever been made. One of these was nearly 12 inches in diameter, and had already been mounted as a telescope at Paris : the other above 13 inches. It is well known that the Royal Society has been, for a long time past, endeavouring to procure glass to be made in this country for such purposes, but without success; and Mr. South has all along been of opinion, that it would be much better to procure the article ready made to our bauds, than to waste so much tiine and money in useless effprts; parti- cularly when it is well known that glass of a much superior kind is made on the continent than has hitherto been manufactured in England. The object- glass iu question was mounted as a telescope at the Royal ' Observatory at Paris, and the French government had expended £ 50Q sterling in the purchase of a stand for it, so colossal are its dimen- sions ; but they were too parsimouious to purchase the object- glass itself* which belonged to the opti- cian who niade it. A private individual therefore has, in the mean time, stepped in and run away w ith the prize, which the French Government pre- tended they could not afford to pay for; and it is now aboqt to be set up in Mr. South'* observatory at Kensington,— certainly one of tbe most splendid things of this kind, and one of the most powerful telescopes in this or any other country. This tele- scope was so celebrated at Paris, that parties from the TuHeries used to be made', to visit it soon afti r every new moon, when the weather was favourable that being an'object which most generally at- tracts admiration. Those parties can now only look through an empty tube.
