The following is the history of Alexander Stlkirkil divested of fable. He was born in Largo in 1676, Having gone to sea in his youth, and in the year 170& being sailing master of the ship Cinque Ports, Captain Stradling, bound for the South Seas, he was put on shore on the island of Juan Fernandez, in cons: quence of a quarrel with the Captain. In that solitude he re `strained four years and four months, from which he was at last relieved and brought to England by Captain NVoods Rogers. He had with him in the island his clothes and bedding, with a fitelock, some powder, bul lets, and tobacco, a hatchet, knife, bottle, =them tical instrumetts, and Bible. He built two huts of pi mento trees, and covered them with long grass. and in a short time lined them with skins of goats, which he killed with his musket so long as his powder lasted, which at first was but a pound. When that Was Spent, lie caught them by speed of foot. Having learned to produce fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. be dressed his victbals in one of his huts, and slept in the other, which was at some distance from his kitchen. A multitude of rats often disturbed his repose, by gnaw. ftet and other parts of his body, •whith induced hitt% to feed a number of cats for his protection. In a khnit time these became so tame, that they would lie :kaut him in hundreds end r 9911 delivered hint from thii rats his enemits. Upon itis return lie Jectatte.l to 111 friends, that nothing gave him so much uneasiness as trie,thought, that when he died his body would be de-. • eouredby these very cats he had with so much care tamed and led. To divert his mind from such mien clOy thoughts, he would sometimes dance and sing anionic his kids and goats, at other times tetire to his &lotion. His clothes and shoes were soon worn by tanning through the woods. In the want of shoes be found little inconvenience, as the soles of his feet be came so hard that he could run everywhere without difficulty. As for clothes he made for himself a coat and cap of goat-skins, sewed with little thongs of the same, cut into proper form with his knife. His only needle was a nail. When his knife was worn to the back he made others, as well as he could of some iron Imops that had been left on shore, by beating them and grinding them on stones. By his 1 ng seclusion from intercom se with men, he had so far fotgot the use of speech, that the people on board Captain Rogers's ship could scarcely understand him, for he seemed to speak his words by halves. Ile died in 1723, mate of his Majesty's ship Weymouth: He bequeathed his property which was considerable, to a female Mind near Ply mouth, whom he had married. He bad no manu scripts. The story, therefore, of his having been de frauded of them by De Foe is untrue.

The ridiculous custom of ringiog the belli of the churches in the provinces eluting a thunderstorm, add•which has so frequently had 'a 'fatal result, has lately caused a sad misfortune at Taurissa, in the department of Carcassone. A storm having maul-, tested itself on the 26th 61 June,. in this commune,' pine children went .to the church. for the purpose of putting the bell in motion. They had hardly begun, when the thunder -shook the belfry, and killed the eldest, a boy of 16, and rendered insensible the re- minder, who were also much wounded, but by prompt attention were recovered.—R each Paper. lies heat of khe Wea's i sser in Canterbury,on Friday last, Was excessive. At half past ten in the morning, the ,theritometer in the - shade stood at 80 deg. and at one .clock at:B6: dig. acivirricis altitude it continued nearly die whole day. Tht mercury, in the sun, at the same time, averaged from .11 . 2 to 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Saturday, a north !meet cooled the atmosphere, and the thermometer ranked at 80 deg. Sunday it stood at 82i deg. about 21 / warmer than on the preceding day. At eleven o'clock yesterday. morning,alle same instru ment indicated 81 deg. with light tefreshing airs from the north ; at twelve, 82 deg. and 'remained so nearly the whole afternoon: The damage done to the Plymouth Breakwater by the tremendous storm of November, is, now undergoing repair. The masses of.stone . are no longer put into their places rude and unshapen as formerly ; but Vie top and tke two sloping sides are now built up of regu lar square blocks of marble, of an immense size, and the same care is takers in squaring and disposing of them as if they were intended for the - fronts of houses. The sea will now have une vast uniform surface pre sented to its influence; and we hope, from the manner in which the stones are laid, 'that even a ruder tempest than that of last winter will not displace them. It is not perhaps generally known, that if the head of a snail be pricked with a pin, and the eluding matter applied to a wort, a disappearance of the callosity will take place in a few days. The writer of this para graph witnessed the effects of a successful experiment, a few days since. A carrier pigeon brough the first news of Cannon's defea - , at Warwick, on Tuesday. The bird, which is of the Flemish kind, was let loose at twenty minutes past one o'clock, and reached the Kent-road within three hours. Yesterday morning as the Duke of WELLINGTON'S valet, Sr. John, was returning home, about three o'clock; from Vauxhall Gardens, in a boat with some friends, he expressed a wish to bathe, jumped into the river for that purpose, and sank to rise no more. The body was some time afterwards picked up rear Vauxhall Bridge. Owing to the heat of the weather, a valuable horse, the property of JOHN T.TYRRELL, Esq. dropped down in a gig, near the village of Stock, and expired soon after. Several other horses, of great value, have died from the same cause. FATAL.

The spectators, natu rally alarmed by the circumstance, had him placed on a truck, and immediately sent for Mr. Jackson, a SW* geon, residing at W pping-wall, who tendered his un fortunate patient every assistance that skill and humanity could suggest; but all his of were.unavailing, and the object of his anew ion is now no more.

SURREY SESSIONS, JULY 20. Tilt KING V. ROGERS. This was an indictment on the prosecution of Thos. J. Holland., Esq. assistant overseer of the parish of Bermondsey, against Thomas Rogers, master and owner of a vessel trading between Hamburgh and the port of London, for an assault committed on Eliza Kemble Fisher, a girl under ten years of age.—The evidence. for the prosecution having been gone through, a great number of witnesses were called to prove that Captain Rogers had always conducted himself with propriety and decency, and by his good conduct had amassed.a Considerable fortune. One of them, Miss S. Page, had lived in the family many years. The Captain had thrte children, a son, about 18, a daughter of 16, and.nno ther daughter about 12. He always bore a good-cha racter for decency and propriety. The Captain, and his' wife were the most happy couple she had ever seen— (The defendant here was quite overpowered, and co-, vered his face). . . The Jury, after consulting for a few minutes, returned their ver dittr....Yes Guilty. WEST KENT SESSIONS. • Frederick M. Van Heytknyson, Esq. stood indicted for besting apoor old man, n fined Samuel Joshua Taylor, of Bexley, and filing at him with a pistol, the contents of 'which providentially passed over his head. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case . for the prosecution, and lamented that it had fallen to his let t i lay before 'the public, the particulars of an cffence, attended by such aggravated circumstances. Ile called the prose cutor, who fully proved the charge laid in the in dictuient. On the part of the defendant witnesses were called, whose evidence Was sucontradictory, that the C urt , and Jury rejected it ;. and the defendant was found Gui iy. In the course of the trial, the Chairman,. T. LAW 'HODGES, Esq. in the kindest manner, recommended the defendant (through the medium of his Counsel) to settle the matter with the prosecutor; but • this well. meant endeavour was entirely thrown away, as the defendant would not bumble himself, nor make any concession. In passing sentence, the COURT animad verted very strongly and very justly upon the enormity of the offence of which the defendant had been con victed upon the clearest testimony. His. conduct had been outrageous in the extreme, and it was fort unate that the life of the prosecutor had not been sacrificed in consequence of it; but what rendered the offence more l culpable was, the scandalous attempt made to 'invali date the prosecutor's evidence bY two witnessei, whose character would not bear the test of inquiry. The de. fondant was sentenced to pay a fine of 1001. The correspondents of the Paris Papers at • Madrid, agree in stating, that Corunna is completely blociaded by the Culombian privateers. They have very - lately captured seven vessels belonging to the met chants of that port. There are also many cruisers on' the coast of Biscay. The workmen have began to erect fencing round Buckingham House, at a considerable distance ITOM the iron railing, preparatory to the commencement - of the alterations at that Palace. The carriage road in front of such iron railing will be included within the fencing.' Buckingham-gate entrance is. as yet passable for horses and carriages, but the course of the road will be altered. By the Act 4th Geo. IV. c. 49, persons riding, or going in a carriage to or from Church on SUnday. or on public fast-days ; and personi attending or returning from the funeral ot any person who shall die and be buried in the parish, are exemptei from paying toll. Such is the flow of water already in the wells digging for the supply of Canterbury, that it is deemed neces sary to erect a steam-engine, for the purpose of clearing them, to enable the workmen to proceed with the work.
