The Monthly Agricultural Report for February states, that the weather has enabled all the farmers of dry , sound lands t r., complete the wheat sowing which was left unfinished in autumn. M. THENARD, the celebtated French chymist, has had a very narrow escape. When delivering a lec ture at the Polytechnic School, on Friday last, he took up a glass filled with a solution of corrosive sublimate, and swallowed a portion of it, mistaking it for his glass of sugared water. Prompt assistance was obtained, and the poison was expelled. The Professorir now recover ing, and his valuable life is preserved to science. Formerly the turnpike toll on a waggon and four horses to Bath, from the parish of Saltford, a distance of five miles, was only one shilling; at the present time the same vehicle is obliged to pay 4s. 3d. The Saltford turnpike-gate, and the Totterdown gate, 'produced nearll 6,0001. the last letting. A melancholy event occurred at Cambridge on Fri day. A boy belonging to the Sun Hotel was carrying some luggage into the house from a chaise at the door, when a pistol, which was with it, suddenly went off, and , the contents lodged in the boil) , of the bar-maid, an amiable young woman, in her 21st year. The wound was mortal, and she died on Saturday night. Several horses which were left in the streets while their masters went into public or private houses, have lately been stoles. It is now usual with thieves, the moment they see persons alight from their horses, to take their places and drive off. Information was given at the Mansion-house of numerous robberies of the kind. In one case a poor letter-carrier, who had contracted to convey letters from Edmonton to London, was Mined by the loss of his horse, which was stolen while he. Was delivering a letter in King:land-road. In ano thei-, so quickly was a fine cob taken, after the master, in elderly gentleman connected with a distillery, had • ,tlighted at the door of a public-house, that the animal 'anight be said almost to be stolen from under him. • The celebrated Manheim telescope, the master-piece of the famous SPAIGER, an Hungarian optician, was destroyed a few days ago, in a most singular manner. A servant of the Observatory having taken out the glasses to clean them, put them in again, without ob serving that a cat had crept into the tube. At night, the animal, being alarmed at the strong power of lunar • . rays, endeavoured to escape; but the effort threw down - the instrument, which, falling to the ground from the . • top of a tower, was broken to pieces.

These were indictments, one against the mulatto ter giant of Mrs. Storer, ,a lady of fortune, residing at . Purley, and the other against the same defendant and the Lady herself, for assaults on Philip Thompson, a black, 19 years of age, whom Mrs. Storer had bought in •Jamaica as a slave, and whom she bad made free by bringing to England. The cause against Mrs. Stbrer was first in point of time ' • but the records being brought down and.entered by thedefendants, they chose first to try that agaidintewart alone. Philip Thompson, the black, gave the following ac- Count of the transaction :—On the 15th of August, at -he was cleaqing knives in the kitchen, two at a time, Stewart desired him not to do so, as he would.let them dill. He gave an impertinent answer, on which Stewart struck him in the face. Thompson " hit again," and Stewart struck him a second time, and aimed a third blow, which the boy warded off by the knife he held, which cut Stewart's hand. The defendant, after smear ing the blood over the lad's face, left the kitchen, but returning in a few minutes, collared him, took him to a potatoe cellar, and locked him in. There he was com pelled to pass the night, with a blanket and carpet to sleep on, and at five o clock in the morning, was brought out by Stewart to be flogged in the stable, he having procured a hunting whip for the purpose. The lad was desired to strip off his jacket and waistcoat, and having done so, and seeing Stewart take out a cord to tie him; slipped out of the stable. Stewart followed, seized him, dragged him along the ground, and at last shut him up in another stable. From this place, before any farther iaflictiou, he made his escape and came to Reading, where his case was taken up by an attorney, and he obtained a situation in a Gentleman's family. This statement was, in most of its parts, corroborated by Sarah Brown, then in Mrs. Storer's service; but she differed from Thompson in some particulars, and added that a message was delivered, as from Mrs. Storer, directing the punishment. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. In the next case, where Mrs. Storer was defendant with Stewart, Thompson complained of an assault, about a month before he left Purley. He stated that, not being up in time to scour the lobby, Mrs. Storer ordered him to he taken out and well flogged, and she would see it done. Stewart then took him into the stable-yard, Mrs. Storer following, and ordered him to take off his coat and waistcoat, and strip down his shirt to the waist. This being done, S;e:vart proceeded to flog him with a postillion's whip ; and when he had given him about a dozen lashes, Mrs. Storer saide Well done, Robert, give him twice as much. 9 The blood ran down into his trowsers, and over his shirt, and he was rendered unable to lie down by the effect of the flogging. Mr.J axon expressed great indignation at this charge, which he declared utterly false, and to rebut it, called the laundress of the family, who swore that no blood ever was seen on the prosecutor's linen; the postillion, who asserted that no flogging took place, to his know ledge ; and the governess of Mrs. Stoter's children, and other Ladies, who g ave her an excellent character for humanity, and one of whom thought she was kinder to her black, than to her white servants, awl especially to Thompson. - In reply, a former coachman of the Lady was called, who dated that Mrs. Pope, one of the laundresses, had seen the lad flogged; and had spoke of him as ill-treated. The Jury found both defendants Nut Guilty. HERTFORD, MARCH 1. The Lent Assizes for this County commenced here to-day, before Lord Chief Baron ALEXANDER and Mr. Baron GRAHAM. The causes entered for trial on the Civil side are ten in number. The gaol calendar con tains the names of forty-five prisoners, few of whom are charged with capital offences. John Hollingsworth was indicted for stealing-at Ther field, on the Bth November, 55 sheep and 17 lambs, the property of William Beale. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. He had been a servant in the employment of Mr. Free, of Ther field, and up to the 6th of Nov. when he was discharged, had conducted himself well. The Jury, under the Learned JUDOS'S directions, found the pri soner Guilty. Sentence of death was passed upon him, and it is expected he will be left for execution. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEBRUARY SS. William Walton, on being arraigned for stealing a silver watch, above the value of 40s. from a dwelling house, pleaded' Guilty. Mr. Justice Barxxv.—ln this case I would advise you not to plead guilty, because it is a capital offence. Prisoner.—My Lord, I think a public offence demands a public confession. Mr. Justice asvxxv.—l would advise you not to plead guilty, because circumstances may not be made out in the evidence to sup port this charge. Prisoner.—My Lord, I know I am guilty. Mr. Justice lityLer.—lf you will still plead guilty, then I would recommend you to retract yobr plea of guilty to the capital offence, and simply plead guilty of stealing. Prisoner.—What does the capital offence mean, my Lord? Mr. Justice BavLsr.—The capital offence is dealing above the value of 40s. in a dwelling-house. Prisoner.—My Lord, I know the watch was above the value of 40$. and if I was to die to-morrow I would plead guilty in the sight of GOD and man. No sentence was passed on account of his previous good conduct. His Lordship said he should recom mend him to his Majesty's merciful consideration, and his punishment would ve a slight one. WItIiIIORELAND &NINO Asetzts.Thtirsday, after Sir G. S. lIOLRoYD, Knt. had attended 'Divine Ser. vice, at Appleby, his Lordship proceeded to the Court, and the Judge being seated, proclamation was made, and the commission opened. After some private con versation, betvieen the Judge and Under Sheriff, his Lordship rose and addressed the Gentlemen summoned an the Grand Jury; stating, that as the Under Sheriff had received no deputation from the -successor to the late Earl of Thanet, no Assize could be held ; that, although the Shrievalty was hereditary, yet, according to Act of Parliament, it was necessary that he deputa tion to the Under Sheriff should be renewed, ' • that in other counties, in case of a demise of a Sheriff, the de fect was mare easily remedied; that in this case, au thority had been sought for, but that nothing had appeared to invalidate the Act, therefore the Grand Jury could neither be sworn nor act, and that conse quently, the Court must be adjourned to ten o'clock, the following day, in hopes that the deputation might arrive; but should this not be the case, then the Assizes must be adjourned to a future period. The Court was adjourned to Friday, and afterwards .to Saturday, to await the return of the deputation. The Assizes opened at Winchester on TuesdaT, but the causes tiled were destitute of interest. There are about twenty-one causes for trial. "Ritbaid The lies. Frederick Twisleton, S.C. I.

THE THAMES TUNNEL. YOterday, Mr. W. Swift, M.P. Chairman of the Thames Tunnel Company, proceeded to Rotherhithe, to commence this great undertaking, accompanied by the Directors, Auditors, Engineer, Surveyor, and other Officers of the Company. The knowledge that the first stone of it was to be laid yesterday, excited considerable bustle in the parish of Rotherhithe, and attracted to it many persons of respectability and influence. Among the persons present were—Admiral Sir E. Codrington, Captain Lyon, R.N. Colonel Grant,A ldernnen Atkins and Ileygate, Dr.Wollaston, and several Ladies. Union flags were drawn across the streets in the vicinity of the in tended structure; the bells of the parish church rung at intervals during the day, and the whole parish seemed to exult in the commencement of this national enterprise. At one o'clock the Directors of the Company arrived on the ground where the tunnel is to commence. Mr. Bru nel displayed and explained to the persons present the drawilgs descriptive of the intended proceedings. Mr. W. Smith, previously to laying the stone, made a long discourse on the utility of the arts and sciences, and exemplified it by reference to this gigantic undertaking. The Rev. Mr. White offered up a prayer for the suc cess of it ; after which, the first stone was laid by Mr. W. Smith, with the usual formalities, amid the cheers •of the surrounding multitude. He - then filled up a bumper of wine, and drank it off to the success of the subscribers, a ceremony which excited a repetition of the same noisy greeting. At three o'clock, the Direc tors and their friends withdrew from the platform to partake of a cold collation in a late workshop in the neighbnurhood, which had been fitted.ap for the occa sion. Several toasts were drank, apd several speeches were made laudatory of the Chair Man. the Directors, and the undertaking; and the party dispersed at five o'clock, after expressing a wish that their next meeting might be at the other side of the river. • LAW REPORT. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, MARCH 1. MORGAN V. LAMERRT. Mr. Serjeant Pat.r. stated this to be an action of a most distressing nature, brought by the plaintiff, a little girl of nine years old, who appeared in Cart by her next of kin, to recover a compensation in damages for a very serious injury she sustained, through thenegli gent conduct of the defendant's coachman, who drove his coach over her thigh, which was thereby fractured and bruised in a most melancholy manner. The de fendant is the proprietor of one of the Poplar stages, plying from London to that place daily. The plaintiff is a little girl only nine years of age, .residing in Ber ners-street, Commercial-road. About five o'clock in the afternoon of the 20th of July last, a montk.when the light is powerful at that hour, this little s girl and a COM• pinion of her's of the same age, were returning from school, from a street directly opposite Berners-street. Whilst they were crossing the Commerciabroad, the defendant's coach, driven by his regular coachman he should not say as a furious rate, but fast, at taeir usual rate, being drawn by two powerful horses, came' by at the time, and came in direct contact with the chile dren, and knocked them down. His little client was thrown under the wheel, which went over her thigh ; and whether the coachman, in pulling up his horses to prevent any further injury, backed his coach, but so it was, that the wheel went a second tune over her thigh, and thus it was that she sustained this very serious in jury, which had left a. mark that she would carry to her grave. The coachman had left his right side of the road at the time, and it would perhaps be urged on the other side, that he was obligei to take that side of the road in consequence of a sewer, which had been opened on his right side of the road, and that in order to pass with safety, he was obliged to abandon that side of the road,cross the middle of the road which is paved, and generally occupied by the waggons and heavy carts which often pass, and get on his left side of the road but the place where the accident happened was at a dis tance of eighty-six feet from the sewer, so that he had sufficient room to regain his right side of the road.— Persons cried out to the coachman to pull up, which it was his bounden duty to do, as perhaps he thought they would have had time to have crossed before he came up. He neglected to do so, and the melancholy accident he had detailed to them followed. She was taken home, and surgical aid procured. The thigh was fractured, and she, underwent great suffering for some time, and up to the present time has not recovered from it, as the leg in question has become shorter from the accident. The other child was picked up from under the horses feet not injured. He did not mean to attri bute any intentional cruelty to the coachman, for he could not suppose any one so inhuman as to run down two children wilfully ; but he had to make out his case to them by chewing that the coachman drove carelessly and incautiously. The Learned Serjeant then called several witnesses, who corro borated his statement, with some very slight variation, Mr. Serjeant VoticitAzi, for the defendant, urged that the acci dent purely originated in the thoughtlessness and carelessness of the two children, who were crossing the road at the time, and reading a book. The LOUD Com Jurricv summed up, and kft it to the Jury to' say whether the injury was sustained through accident, or by the negligence of the defendant's coachman. If they thought the latter was the case, they would find for the plaintiff. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £BO. SURREY SESSIONS, MARCH 2. YYi1~:~ ~~l?' i.

The remaining, or rather the new duty, is a Customs duty merely. The necessity, in future, of permits, will, we presume, be done away with. French wine was for merly subject to an Excise duty of 6s. Rid. and to a ' Customs duty of ss. Sd. when imported in British, and ss. 7d. per gallon when imported in foreign ships ; in all, a charge of I Is. 514. or I Is. 91d. per gallon. The Customs duty, now the only duty on wines, and the drawbacks on le-exportation, will be the following per gallon: Duty. Drawback. French, imported in British ships . 6s. od. 6s. Od. Ditto in Foreign ditto . 61. 6d. Os. od. Cape . . 2s. 6d. 2s. 6d. All other wines imported— In British ships In ships . 4s. Od. 4s. od. 41. 4d. Os. od. Foreisn .
