SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. Monday the town of Gravemnd was the scene of a carious pi oceeding• which cannot bUt reflect great credit s pon the active vigilance of the authorities thereof. On •hat mov fling a sloop, bearing the title of the Nancy, of Boston, burden about 100 tons, and loaded to the wa xr's edge, was seen making a slow progress up the f iver, towed by three men in a boat ahead. Although Kr appearance excited no suspicion whatever, the Re venue Inspector at Gravesend went on board of her in vlie same matter of course way that he visits every yes olpassing the place, and meeting the Captain on deck, We 'only person then on board, he asked him as a mere t i l ing of form, seeing . that to all appearance the sloop wrs entively loaded with corn, where his ship's papers ore? The Captain replied, that they were some where below deck, but he did not exactly know where g that instant to put his hand upon them. The In iiector said, that it was rather odd that a Captain should pt always have his ship's papers at hand, and he de ged the Captain to go below and fetch them up that le might look at them. The Captain went below, but rr• t find the papers, for the best possible reason, lat there were no papers to be found, and he again . . one on deck empty handed. " I tell you what, master Captain," said the Inspec tor, just r your negligence, now, I shall leave two f any men on board of you, until you do find the pa rrs." The Inspector then placed two of his revenue men in the vessel, to proceed with her to port, and 'went himself ashore again in his boat—never still ospecting there was any thing really wrong in the abselice of the ship's documents. He had, however, s carcely reached the shore from his boat, when he ob ersed the three men who had hitherto been towing the sloop along, suddenly cut the towing rope, and row off in their boat with all their might, leaving the " Nancy, of Boston," and her Captain, to their fate. This unt apected mat teuvre at once aroused the suspi- ' cions of the Inspector, and he once more boarded the sicop, when on a close examination of her cargo, he found that the sto face of corn was a mere covering to conceal an extensive cargo of foreign brandy, with which the was laden. The Nancy" was now, of curie, seized, as was also her Captain, and on search ing the person, of the latter, there was found on him one document alone, which showed that the " Nancy" ea , the bearer t f 2,000 tubs of brandy, for the London market, without intending to trouble the Custom-house fur permission to land them. The Captain was now brought on shore and deposited is the Gravesend gaol, which adjoins the Town Hall, Ore to remain until he should be dealt with according e the law of the case. It happened that on that day. the Cot potation- people were going on with some of their venal transactions in the Town Hall; the gaoler's pre tence beLlg necessary to their proceedings, that func tionary was mote engaged in the Town Hall than lie was in the gaol ; but let as his substitute in the latter place' s veiydecest obliging old woman, • about seventy years of age. A-bout two o'clock in the afternoon, three men, dressed -like country labourers in smock-frocks, presented them selves at the gaol door, and asked it the old Lady would permit them just to hand in a bit of dinner to the Captain of the Nancy,which they had brought with them in their hand., and a bottle of wine. The old gaoleress very coolly said-, by all sneans,and immediately admitted them to the apartment where the Captain was confined. Here the men. laid down their provisions, and requested the old Lady to oblige them with the loan of stable cloth for their friend, which she immediately gave . them, and soi,ted them in laying out the dinner en the table. During this proceeding one of the men was appa rently amusing himself outside the prison door toss- . ing up a halfienny, but in Lick to watch until the coast was clear, and this moment having arrived, he called out " heads," which no doubt was the signal agreed upon, when instantly out rushed the Captain and the other men, leaving the old woman to Arrange the dinner table alone, and all four ran with their utmost speed along the street until they came to a blacksmith's forge, whets stood a beautiful blood horse, harnessed to a large light spring cart, into which the four men immediately threw • themselves, and one seizing the reins, gave a whistle to the horse, which set off at skrate of sixteen miles an hour, and passing right through the whole town of Gravesend, were out' of sight almost before the old gaoleress had recovered from her amazement. It seemed that about two hours before the- escape, the three smock-frock men brought the horse and cart to the smith's forge. and left them to. stsand there, desiring, that the horse should be shod all round, and every part of the cart examined and well se cured by their return, at the same time paying in ad vance-for smith's labour, The Captain was a very large unwieldy man, and it lappears that his companions had great difficulty in get wig him along while running from the gaol to the forge, and he was several times en the point uf giving in, but his persevering associates pushed and dragged him f rward until they got hint to the cart, the tail Ward of hich they then let down, and shoved him to as they would a sack of malt. The tremendous rate at which they flew through the streets of Gravesend, could not but attract attention, and the real cause was immediately suspected by the townspeople; who, however, instead of attempting to arrest their progress, which would have been a dangerous office, cheesed and bowed them as t'iey went along with the encouraging cries of 1 4 Go it, my brave smugglers." The old woman at the gaol no sooner recovered her senses, than she ran into the Town Hall amongst the Corporation, then in deliberation, calling out as loud as c .e could bawl, " LORD have mercy on us! be is gene! Loan save us, he is gone!" e‘ Gone!" echoed the Cor poration," who is gone?" An please your worshipful Worship, the smuggler is gone." " Where is he gone to?" asked the Corpus anon. " That the Loan only knows," re plied the old woman, " but he is gone." The fact of !he Captain's escape was now fully disclosed, and the whole Town Hall and Corporation were thrown into the utmost consternation. The. entire body corporate were as a man darting out to chase the smuggler, whey they were arrested by the consideration that it would be better first to hold a council of pursuit, which was accordingly done, and the determination was come to of hiring a post chaise, and following the smugglers, but, on a little further reflection, they found by the rate at which the smugglers travelled, that the Corporation might just as well pursue them in an eight•horse wag gon, and all hope of re-capturing the Captain was there fore given up. The cargo of the Nancy is considered to be of so great value (it is said 20,0001) that the Com. missioners of Customs have directed that she shall be unloaded under their own eye at the Custom-home Duck, at which place she has already arrived. Private accounts from Philadelphia mention large purchates of corn and flour, on account of the news of the failure of the English crop. Flour, which two months previously was 4i dol. had advanced to 7. The repot ts of the crops in the interior were favourable, but only small supplies bad reached the coast. THE KENT BRUNSWICK CLUB.

Mr. Cobbett has addressed a long letter to the Men of Kent, respecting the approaching Kentish Meeting.—' The topics he principally touches upon ate not very re levant to the present question; but the following pas. sages are worth reading, though he underrates the number of Roman Catholics which the measure he derides would thrust into Parliament : • Pray, my friends, be not *mooed by hypocritical stuff about Catholic Emancipation.' What relief could the poor people of Ireland receive from putting half a dozen of Catholic Peers into the House of Lords, a dozen or two of Catholic'Squiresinto the House of Commons, and silk gowns upon the backs of two or three score of lawyers, who, for the greater part, stand in need of hemp round their necks, instead of silk on their backs? Gentlemen, Catholic Emancipation' means the giving r f a share of the taxes to the Catholic Nobility and .lawyers, who, being empty, would come updn us so sharply, as not' to leave a drop of blood in our bodies. We know well what these men mean: they have once already offered that the 406. Catholic freeholders of Ire land should be disfranchised, If England would let them into Pailiamen.t and give them silk gowns, and would pay salaries annually to the Catholic Priests ; this as tonishingly impudent proposition was actually brought before Parliament in 1825."

ARMY CLOTHING IN IRELAND. The. following letter has been addressed by Colonel Gosset, Private Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, as his Excellency's commands, to Mr. Howell, an eminent ma nufacture:, and public-spirited mixt.° of Dublin : " Dublin Castle. 9th Oct. _ _ . - " DEAR Sta—l am commanded by the Lurd Lieutenant to In form yon, that he bas devoted to the remarks you presented to him l on behalf of the Irish rhanufacturers, that full consideration which his Excellt-ncy is alwais disposed to give to suggestions having in view the encouragement of trade in Ireland. " His Lord.hip is impressed with the propriety and policy of the measure you propose: and he has shown the example to the other Colonels of Regiments stationed in Ireland, by directing that the 7th Hussars, as long as they are on the Irish establishment, s►all be clothed and equipped in this country, and from its manufactures. As to'the expediency of adopting a regulation on this subject, his Excellency entertains doubt. He will, however, communicate on the points to which his attention has been drawn with the Secretary at War. " I ani, my dear Sir, your very obedient servant, " George Howell, Esq." " W. GOSSET. We learn that the affair of honour between Mr. Thos. Martin and Mr. Wm. Macdermott, both of the county Galway, has been amicably terminated, after the parties bad come to the ground.—Dublin Evening Post. About three o'clock on Tuesday evening the police at New Inn, near Cashel, were alarmed by a noise in the house of a man of the name of Fogarty. On going • there they found a number of drunken people, who had taken from two soldiers of the 76th their bayonets in thy house. The people delivered the bayonets to the police, alleging that they had taken them to prevent the soldiers hem stabbing them ; but had not the police arrived, bad consequences might have ensued. An inquiry will be held on this subject.—Clonmel Advertiser. Another unfortunate creature has fallen a victim to the fatal and sanguinary affray at Feenagh last Sunday. He expired of his wounds on Thursday meaning. At the inquest on both bodies a verdict of 4 4 Wilful Murder" was returned against persons unknown. Others of the combatants are not jet out of danger.—Limerick Paper. . A serious accident occurred on Saturday to the Lady of the Rev. Sir T. Forster, Bart. Lady Forster, who is on a visit at Beaulieu, the seat of the Rev. A. Mont. gomery, was driving in an oped carriage, accompanied by Miss Montgomery, on the Termon-Frechin road, when the horses took hien, and precipitated the vehicle down a precipice, by which her Ladyship sufferedn fracture of the left shoulder, and several bruises in diffe tent parts of her body. She was conveyed on a litter, in a state of greatsuffering, to Beaulieu, and was soon after attended by surgeon Pentland. We regret to hear that her Ladyship felni•of in a precarious state. Miss Montgomery was slightly hurt, as were also the Ser' wants.—Drop rash Journal. DUMFRIES, OCTOBER 21. Noval. EXPORT.—Strange as it may appear. the fact is certain, that a considerable number of the Irish shearers who flocked to our shores during autumn, ex pended their earnings in the purchase of asses, which appear to be in great request in Ireland. Within the last few weeks, at least five hundred of these patient and hardy animals have paid toll at the burgh of New Galloway—the shortest road to Port-Patrick by about ten miles—to say nothing of droves that were seen travelling to the coast in other directions. Earlier in tie season, first one drove and then another passed through the town of 'Anemias, to the great surprise of divers villagers, who had never seen such a sight before. At the Newcastle fair, cuddles sold at all prices from 2s. 6d. to S guineas; and the tinkers and gipsies have some reason to take credit to themselves, as the chief breeders of a race of animals which are again getting into so good repute. What Pat intends to do with so many donkeys, we do not, of course, pretend to know, but we suppose, like the Welsh, and even the Scotch, he bas discovered that for many domestic purposes, they are the most useful and easily kept matures alive. Within the last ten years, asses have increased around Dumfries, and almost .every milk-boy you meet, in place of a poney, is seen mounted on I goodly donkey. GLASGOW, Ocr. 21. Sunday night the London Mail, which should have reached the city at half-past four, did not arrive till a quarter after seven. This delay, we understand, was occasioned by the coach' breaking down about thirty miles on this side of London. The coachman was thrown to the ground with much violence, and so severely in jured that his lite is ,despaired of. One of the pas,engers was slighlty,bruised, and one of the horses killed on the spot. Saturday night, about seven o'clock, .the house of Dr. Hunter, in North Hanover-street, was entered by the bed room window, while the family were in the room adjoining, and a looking glass, some bed clothes, and other articles carried off. Early on Monday morning the Gaelic Church in Duke Street was enteld by one of the o indows, and the whole chandeliers in the lower flat of the church carried off. There was found on the 27th tilt. cast ashore on the beach, on the south side of the island of Coll, the body of a man, well dressed, apparently the master of some vessel 'dm has been lost. It must have lain some time in the water, as the features were entirely destroyed; had in his pockets a sovereign and a half sovereign, and 12s. in silver. Also, a hunting watch, nsaket's name Rob. Roshil, Liverpool, No. 23,088 ; two gold seals, one with arms engraved, and a dragon's head for a crest—the letters J.W. on each side of the crest, and the motto, Alta Spes &tutu s below the arms. The body was 'decently in:el ed the following day. Yesterday Mr. COPRLAND was sworn in at Guildhall as one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. He was much agitated upon entering the hustings, and seemed to suffer.pain, but he recovered his spirits before he bad been in the Hall five minutes, and he loudly repeated the oaths after the Town Clerk. It was consi• dered a daring thing to venture upon such an exertion after a 35 days' fever. When the ceremony was at an end, Mr. C. appeared to have rallied completely. CHATSWORTH.—This splendid mansion is at present a scene of great festivity. Friday his Grace the Duke of Dum an:az gave a ball, at which dancing was kept up with great spirit a late hour. The 'following are among 'the whiter. at Chats. worth—The Duke de Rkhelieu, Count Monteron, Earl and Cana teas Cowper, Lady Emily Cowper, Earl and Countess Newburgh, Viscount and Viscountess Granville, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Melbourne, Sli Frederick Lamb, Hon.

GINERAL MouaNiNo.—Sunday the Magistrates of Glasgow attended Divine Service in deep mourning, weepers and crape. The pulpits and desks of the churches io the city were covered with black cloth, and ,the front gallery of St. George's Church, where the Magistrates attend, was also in black. A Gentleman residing at Frampton, in Dorsetshite, observing a rook hovering about a tree, in an unusual manner for this time of the year, caused the nest in it to be examined, and there, to his no small astonishment, were found three eggs. A company of performers announced in their bills the opening of a theatre at Montrose, with the farce of The Devil to Pay," to be followed by the comedy of w The West Indian." Adverse wind'', however, prevented the arriva) of their scenery from Aberdeen, in time for the representation On the evening appointed. It was, there. fore, found expedieut to give notice of the postpone ment of the performance, which was thus delivered by the town criers " 0 yes! 0 yes! 0 yes I this is to let you knots, that the play actors havna got their screens up yet frae Aberdeen, and so canna begin the night; but on Monday night, there will be g The Deyil to Pay in the West Indies." Friday morning a considerable sensation was excited in the village of Snydale (Which is situated about half way between the toirns of Wakefield and Pontefract, being about five miles from each), by the circumstance of a Inan having been found in a ditch, bounding a field war the village, with his throat dreadfully cut, and in a state of insensibility. He was conveyed to a house, and every emotion paid -to his deplorable condition, medical assistance being immediately procured. As soon as he became sensible . , though yet speechity, he made signs, for writing materials ; a slate and pencil bay ing been provided, he scrawled with great difficulty and pain the words" Markey, Hul." However, hexecovered so far before night, as to state the name, description, Ste. of the robber, and the articles stolen from him, together with the probable destination of the villain. He shortly afterwards. ezpired. From the accusing record he has kit behind; and from further particulars collected in and near the spot, the following appear to be the prin cipal facts connected with this atrocious deed : The de. ceased, whose name is William Longthorne,of Barmby ,Moor, neat Pocklington, quitted Wakefield on Friday morning, .at six o'Clock, accompanied by . a man named William Mosey, a native of the latter place, taking the foot.road to Pontefract. When arrived at the spot where deceased was found, Mosey (it is sup posed) bad knocked down the deceased, and after cutting his throat so desperately as to lay the gullet entirely open, and to separate the roots of the tongue, robbed him, and then threw him into the ditch where be was found. The villain took from him a silver watch, ss. in silver, and a small bundle in a dark coloured silk handkerchief. A razor case was found near the ditch, but the razor with which the murder is conjectured to have been committed, has not 'yet been discovered.— William Mosey told his parents the day previous to the murder that be was going to sea, and that he should go as far as Ferrybridge, on Friday, on his road to Hull. Up to the time of outgoing to press, he had not been apprehended. The deceased had been a groom to the service of a Gentleman in the West Riding,uod was on I bis return home. He was about twenty years of age: -Humber Nerragry, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GomorraLt, Oct Before Lord TISITMIDEIt and Special heirs. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY D. LEWIS. Thig was an action against the late sub-treasnrei of the East India Company at Demo/sten, to recover a balance claimed to be due from hint on an alleged de ficieocy of his treasury accounts. When the ease was called on only nine Special Jurors answered to their names. The summoning officers were then sworn. and deposed to the summoning of the ab sentees, some of whom, it appeared, were out of town, some were over age, and others were excused on various statements made by this friends. James Simpson, of Fenclnch-street, merchant, and John Taylor. of Pin net's-hall, merchant. were ordered to be fined. The Counsel for the plaintiffs then prayed a tales, and three common Jurors were sworn. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, Mr. Sergeant BOSAMIITET, Sir JAMES SCARLET; Mr. Sergeant SPANK'S, Mr. CAMPBELL, and Mr. Dorn), were engaged for the plaintiffs; Mr. G UMW, Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. CHITTY, and Mr. KELLY, appeared for the defendant. The Sotactron•Gmaute 1., in opening the case, stated that the defendant, Henry Robert Lewis, who was for merly second servant in the employment of the Eut India Company, was, in the early part of the year 1816, appointed sub-tteasurer at Beaconlen, a settlement ,which ler a great number of treats belonged to the East India Company. but which in 1824 was given up to the Dutch . Government. Dawn to the year 1818 no Governor .was resident at Bencoolen, but a person who was called a resident superintended the affairs of the . East India Company in that place. The defendant held his situation as sub -treasurer from 1316 to the Ist of April 1818. His predecessors were Mr. Joseph Little. • dale and Mr. Siddons. The treasure of which the de fendant and his predecessors had had charge was kept in a part of the fortress called the Bomb-proof, which was guarded by a sentin el; and therenaainder of it was , deposited at the sub-treasurer's house. In 1818 Sr Stamford Raffles was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the fort, and that Gentleman having appointed a Mr. Jennings subtreasuter, notice was given to the defendant to make up his accounts, and to attend with the Go• vernment's agent to count up the treasure, For the pur pose of its being delivered over to his successor, Mr. Jennings. Accordingly, on the 27th March. 1818, the defendant, attended by one of his own money counters, met Captain Travers, who attended as the agent on tl.e part of sire Government. Ott beginning to count the money at the fortress, the defendant stated to Captain Travers that it would occupy twelve or fourteen days , to count the whole of the bags and box s, which con tained a great number of Spanish, Portuguese, and , English coins of different denominations, and that it would be quite unnecessary to do so, as he (the defendant) was alone answerable for the money, no risk attaching to the Government ; that he knew the amount of the money deposited in each bag . • and box, and would state it to Captain Travers. That Gentleman accordingly trek down the amount of what the defendant stated the bags and boxes to con. tain. The aggregate amount was 419,000 dollars. The parties then proceeded to the defendant's house, and the amount of the dollars deposited with the de tendant there was stated to be 32,005. The same amounts were also stated in the accounts which the de• fendant had afterwards furnished to Mr. Jennings, who succeeded the deendant as 'sub.treituurer on the Ist of April, 1818. It however came to the ears of Sir Stant. ford ItAlles;•thit there had been no actual counting of • the money, and that Gentleman expressed his disappro bation of the proceedings. By his directions notice was given to the defendant to attend, and make a proper counting, and the 10th of July was appointed for that purpose. On thit °cation Captain Trams with two money-counters, attended as before on the part of the Government; and a Mr. Baskett, a friend of the de. fendant's, attended on his part with two native money. counters. This business of the counting occupied about twelve days. At the conclusion Of it, on casting up '• the different amounts of countingt, the total was found to be 0n1y'272,300 dollars; being a deficiency since the preceding March, when the amounts were tint stated by the defendant, of 146,700 dollars, which sum was equal to 35,0001- or 36,0001. English currency. Mr. Jennings had succeeded the defendant in April, 1818, • .• and that Gentleman bad been examind upon intertoga• tories en the. subject of the deficiency; but it appeared from his depositions that none of the money had been taken by him; and indeed it was quite impossible that so large a quantity of dollars could have been abstracted from the Bomb-proof without observation by the Officers, whose duty it was to guard the fortress. Under these circumstances, the East India Company bad called upon the defendant to make good! the armunt (the de falcation, the present action was brought to recover it. The depoSitions of Mr. Jenning., taken upon inter rogatosies under a Commission, wese then put in and read, in suppoi t of the statement ofthe Solicitor General. Captain Travers examined—l was appointed by Sir S. Raffles as the second assistant to the Resident -at Bencoolen. In March, 1815, the defendant was the sub-treasurer, and Mr. Jennings was the Resident. The principal part of the treasure was kept in a part cf the fort called the Bomb-proof. A Committee had been appointed to inquire as to the amount of the urea: tire. We went to the fortress to count the different coins there. We found some in boxes and some in bags. so that it was impossible to count the money in a short time. The defendant stated, that he should be able id fitcilitate the object of the elimination by giving us the -amount of each bag and box. I told him I was sure that Sir Stamford Rallies would not grant a receipt for the alone, unless it was counted. He said the counting would be quite unnecessary, as no risk would attach to the Government; a casein point having been JeciJed . by. the Supreme Government. making the sub-treasurer answerable: We then proceeded with the examination, .rind took from the defendant and his native money counters the amount of each bag and box, some of which . were broken. The total amounted to 419,000 dollars. This was on the 27th and 28th of March, 1818. We 'afterwards proceeded to the defendant's house, to _ take an account of further' money which was there. We found thirty-two thousand and five dollars, two alarms and 32 cash. We added the sums together, and . the total of them the defendant acknowledged to be the 'balance of the treasury hooks. 1 afterwards left Ben.. cooler, and returned in July. Mr. Jennings was at . that time the sub-treasurer. I was then desired to count the money and receive charge front the defendant's agent, Mr. Baskett, for the purpose of Landing over the balance to Mr. Jennings. Mr. Baskett accordingly met me in the fort on the 10th of July, 1818. We were 'engaged in the counting about twelve days.
