Dr.BOrcaast, from the 90th Ps. v. So teach or to number our days, th-at we may apply our hearts unto, wisdom." The Preacher embattled in his discourse the multiplied afflictions and trials which must have been the common lot of humanity during tie year past, especially as they related to the earthly sepa ration r,sf friends.. by the irresistible stroke of death, first deelling upon the subject with peculiar force and pathos, and then offering such consolation to his auditors which Holy Writ warranted, or the divinity of truth confirmed. The Princess, who was de voutly attentive to the discourse, was so deeply affected by many parts obit, as to shed tears--aor was the con gregation genet ally without a similar manifestation of genuine and affectionate 'feeling.

In the evening there was a Ball at the Wynnstsy Arm, attended by all the beauty and fashion, of the 'surrounding neighbourhool GLOUCESTER. A considerable irritation has been excited hereby the recent elopement of a young Lady from the Spa Hotel. The Lady in question is Miss Daniel, a young Lady of about 19 years of age, possessing considerable personal attractions, and a fortune of near 20,0001. independent of her relations. She is the daughter of a Learned Counsel of that name, who was at this time absent from the neighbourhood, the young Lady being on a visit to her elder sister. The object of her choice was a very handsome lad of about her own age, named Robert son, whose father is the proprietor of a respectable boarding-house, situate near the Spa Hotel. The courtship was carriti on with the most perfect secrecy, and tl'e youthful gallant had taken the precaution to cane the banns to be thtee timrs published at a church in Bristol, after which, the young Lady, under pretence of paying some morning visits, went a little way down the Bristol road, got into si - el•st;te and four, with her youthful admirer, and pickier:kit to Bristol, where the indissoluble knot was tied. The parties, however, came back so speedily, that at fii si nothing was suspected, bet at the expiration of a Few days, the happy bridegroom claimed his bride, and both have left this city on their matilmonial tour. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. -...11111 - LOSS OF THE FANNY, OF AND FROM ST. MA LO, FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following letter from Lieutenant-Colonel FTRRS, . commanding engineer at Jersey, who was a passenger • in the Finny, but fortune , ly landed befe•re she struck on the rock., describes the particulars of his escape, and then el-newsly loss of the Trutt and several passengers: " I am happy to inforth you of my safe arrival 'here on New year's day, after another most providential and extraordinary escape. I sailed trom St. Maio, in the Fanny, about half-past. seven o'clock, with a fine, fair wiu‘a heavy ilea, but nothing to be alarmed about. We arrived about half-past two in the %rest 'roads. when they called to me to say a' boat was waiting for Me. • I did not metre then. as in the very small portion of cabin left free for passengers, I could not step out of my birth without annoying a Lady, Mrs. Fitzgerald, who was very ill, and on a locker outside of my birth. Half an hour after, Ariley came down, and told me that we could not get late the pier in less than one hour and a half, and I had better land ieith them, I therefore scrambled out of my birth. The other cabin passengers—Niro. Fitzgerald and her husband, married three weeks before; a very pretty girl. a Miss Murray, daughter of a Dr. Murray ; and a Frenchwoman—all resolved to remain until they could reach the pier. I jumped into Attley's boat, who, with the cockswain, pulled for the pier : the town boat shortly followed with five or six more; but when within about two hundred yards of the pier, the wind suddenly shifted to the northward, blowing a perfect hurricane, more violent than has been known here for many years, blowing twn trees, &c. it rained alio furiously. We of mote lost ground, arid they wished to go round to Le Dicq, but I desired them to pull for the new landing-place, and I threw off my cloak,preparing for a swim, expecting every moment to be dashed upon the rocks ; however, they skilfully ran up the little creek un der the Magazine, and lauded me comfortably under Sinion's Garden. The other boat got round to St. Croix, with great risk. During this time De Touche anc h ored under the Hermitage, close to his former disastrous spot : the Fanny drifted--he jumped into his bolt—a French Gentleman after hint into the sea, and swam to him ; the others were left to their fate; and about ten minutes after I landed, I had the horror of being informed that she bad struck upon a rock near the Little Green Island off the Fold. and sunk immediately. The unfortunate passengers in the cabin were all t drowned ; also Lord Harley, eon the Earl of Oxford; young Collins, of the Library ; Mr. • Miller, and others—in all eight or nine. In . deed, I have reason to be most thankful to PILOVIDUCZ for my wonderful escape:* Accounts were brought to town this morning of the destruction of the premises of Messrs. FANNING and CLARE. oil merchauts, situated between Deptford and New Cross, by fire. The fire broke out about twelve o'clecla last flight, in the boiling house, and the flumes communicating to the oil, soon spread in a very tearful manner, and it was ascertained that water could have no effect upon such a fearful body of flame. The house and out-houses were soon destroyed, and the destruction of property was considerable. The fire was subdued before eight o'clock this morning.

As Sir R. B. P. PHILIPS, Bart. of Picton Castle, Pembrokeshire, was passing over a temporary wooden bridge at St. Clear's, Cambridgeshire, the wheels of the carriage came in contact with one of the baluster posts, and carried it t ff. By the coucussion, the carriage swung over the edge of the bridge, and was actually for a con siderable time suspended by the traces. lti this perilous situation it remained until assistance was procured, a hen. by dint of great exertion, it was dragged up again with ropes; and the worthy Baronet and Lady Putmrs, who, with great presence of mind kept their seat, Mete re lieved from a situation the most novel, d togetous, and awful that can well be imagined ; for had the traces given way, they mist have been precipitated Into the abyss below, and the destruction of themselves and car riage would have inevitably ensued, for the river was heavily flooded at the time. HIGHWAY ROBBERY PRIVINTID —Thursday . last, at five o'clock in the afternoon, as a lad belonging to Mr. James Felker, baker, of Saffron Walden, was returning home with his master's horse and cart from Chesterford, where he had been delivering bread and collecting small bills, he was met in the hollow road about the midway by a shabby looking fellow, who debited him s top. The lad, alarmed at the peremptory demand; pulled up, when the fellow jumped into threati, and .taking him by. the ..shouldets, placed his head between Isis knees, and proceeded to rifle his pockets. In thi. situation the lad, having both his hands at liberty, with great presence of mind suddenly pulled the mats s legs From under him, and by this means threw the fellow backwards over the front of the cart into the road, *hese he fell with great violence. The (wise of the fall iffartliag the horse, the animal set off at full speed, one wheel of the cart passing over tbe bed, of the man.

A FOX CHASE. The East Susses Fox Hounds, and a staunch and well trained pack it is, with a numerous field, met and presently unkenneled a sturdy member of the brush tribe, in Warreogore Wood, which broke cover in beautiful style, affording a burst for nearly two miles, that gladdened the hearts of the sportsmen, 111 as numb as it pro mised an eventful cbase of no ordinary severity and liengtb. Rey nerd thradled the covet of Sir George Shifter, Bart. very neatly, and seemed quits conhdent that his Situates, backed by pensive. ranee, were amply sufficient for the protection of his life, and so. they might have been,kad int his evil fate conducted him mamma imprisoned him in the deep chalk pit at Offhain ; where, finding iii retreat cut off, be made an attempt to scale the perpe side of the chalky excavation, and partially succeeded. He about four-fifths of his way to the frightful summit, where, upon 11' 1 projecting ridge of the soil, be caved in comparative security. The dogs, on entering the pit, were soon at fault, and reynard for some tieso, was invisible to his pursuers; but in the end, the testing place he bad so vigorously and gallantly secured, was .diewsiered ; and what was the result ?—were the dogs called off, and liberty restored to the captive, to afford more di't talon in a struggle for dear life ? No, missiles weie employed in all directions against him; until his shelter became no longer testable, when, making a last desperate effort to spring to the margin of the precipice, he failed in his ob ject, and fell with a cry, the only one he uttered, to the depth of about forty feet, into the centre rat the pack ,which tore him in piece meal/ and devoured his scattered remain.. An old sportsman, as he relied from the grounkobserved, that bunting had ever been bid favourite amusement, but that ratter than again be present to see a good fox so inconsiderately murdered, he would forego the exercise altogether. ~r ••,•• • • GRAND PERFORMANCE. • Mr. T.

Mr. CAMPBELL i pith vilmiltilvai Conw000) cdd ckicted the plaint' :case; andihe Arßodatir Glatakkat .iul Mr. F. Pol.Locit appeared for tkle defendants. The following witnesses were examined in support - or the actions • . Thomas Price said—i grit broker, and effected the aisle of 29 cases ,of lac dye to Mr. Phillips, oa the 24t1a.-of February,. 1825, for 14601. 2s. 6-J. There were three months' credit to be given ; and on the .24th of May Mr. Phillips called on me and stated; has lie was not prepared to pay 'the amount. for that by mistake he had put down the day of payment ti Meath rate than he ought. I referred him to Messrs Vitler and Hudson, whom the lac dye belonged to, and ac e moanied him to their office. A conversation took place between Mr. Hudson and Mr. Phillips, and the latter agreed to deliver up to Messrs. Vitler and Hud- son, three. casts of saffron, lodged in his name in the London Docks There was no agreement about an extension of time at this conversation. Mr. John Hudson st ited, that he met Mr. Phillips on the Exchange the Friday before the amount of the pur chase of the lot dye was due, and asked Mr. Phillips whether he could then accommodate hint with the aim Oils as the next day was Saturday ; and Mr. Phillips, who is of the Jewish persuasion,said he was not prepared to pay the money, as he had marked the daypl payinent a month later in his diary by mistake. Witness said he could not give a month's indulgence for the money, and Phillips agreed to give three cases of saffron, as a collateral security, in case be was not abler to redeem the dye, which remained in the bankrupt's cossession. Phillips did not redeem it, and it war subsequently re sold, but at a loss of 4001. as the article continued to fall in price, after it was purchased by Phillips. There was no contract to give Phillips three months. Edgar Bowyer (a cleik in the house of Viler, Hudson, and Co.) proved that he accompanied Phillips to the London Docks, and paid the charges on three cases of 'affirm, transferred by order from the name of Phillips to that of Viler, Hudson, and Co. The Arrow:ay GENERAL, for she defendants, con tended that this question had been tried before in an action, in which Vitler and Hudson were the plain tiffs, and Mr. Phillips the defendant. Vitler and Hudson brought their action to recover the amount of the loss sustained on the resale of the lac, and Phillips defended the action on the ground that lie agreed to give them the saffron as collateral security, on the condition that they should give him three months to complete the purchase of thelac: but as the latter was resold before the expiration of the three months, Philips was not liable for the loss. On this case a verdict was found for the defendant; and he (the Attorney epoirat, insisted, that if the bankrupts had no legal clai&i . in Phillips for the amount of the loss sustained by the re-sale of the dye. their assignees could have no right to the three cases of saffron, which were only given as a collateral security. The record in the action between Vitler, Hudson, vnd Cc'. and Phillips, was given in evidence, and witnesses were examined to prove the identity of the question at issue in that case and in the present. • • • Lord TINTIRDitti left it to the Jury, that if they were of opinion that the bankrupts had not agreed to give Phillips an extension of the credit for three months, and had only agreed to give him such indulgence as they had given him, they were bound to find for the plaintiff. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1551. • INSOLVENT DEBTOES` COURT, Jas. 7. Several insolvents were discharged this maraink so oprositjon being offered. In the course - of the proceedings the Cruel Coat- , 'mimosa observed, that much embarrassment was occasiored by the uncertainty as to ohether a woman, whose husband was out of the country in consequence of a criminal sentence, ought or ought not to be con sidered in that Court a married woman ? The question bad, however, been raised in a bankrupt petition - now pending before the Lord Chancellor, and it was to be hoped that his Lordship's decision would set the matter at rat. At tbeneysery grounds of Messrs Howse,. at Putney Hill, Surrey, a hawthorn is now in full leaf, and cower ed with biome, which has . butst forth during the last .week, in the 'luxuriance and bloom of May.

One of the most extraordinary youths that ever figured in the annals of the Hue axd Cry, or the Old Bailey, tailed about four months ago. with a batch of criminals for Botany Bay.. His name is Stephen Stokes, and he was only thirteen years of age when he was transported. 'The following list of his adventures in iniquity was taken from his mouth in'Nets.gate, after his destination ,was resolved upon. He had been a thief for the last six years, having been regularly instructed and encou raged in robbing everybody that came in his way.— He had been in custody half a dozen of tithes, once privately whipped, and three times %lied at the Old' Bailey.. The .first robbery he was concerned in, was the robbery r f a till at a chandler's ship at the coiner of Brick-lane, Shoreditc h. He was the right size for tills, AS he could hide himself under one, and he found it e.sy enough to " work in." He, however, had but- little property out of that concern. Toe first heavy faith ry in which he was engaged, was that of .52 sovereigns, in Nc. 3, in a court adjoining the church in Clement's Lane, Lombard Street. The next was the robbery of 12 sovereigns, at the ham warehouse in the same lane. The titird was, he said, the robbery of eighteen cost. as d Circe gold watches at Mr. Olgilrs, in Abchnrch Lane. The fourth was at a woollen warehouse, inßuc klersbury, *here he stole 41. 10s. 4 watches and S handkerchiefs. Th e fif t h w as at a house *t the corner of Miles Lace, u pper Th e mes Street, where be and his companions stole a trunk filled with wearing apparel. The sixth WAS committed upon a countryman, whom the convict saw slipping SOOk' ante his boots for security, and never parted until he got hold of all the money. He also cknowledged, amongst other robberies, having stolen a golf watch from a jeweller's shop; a coat, tied two gold seals, at Sanderson's, in the Old Jewry ; and seven new hats out of the first c o ffee house on the Tighe nand side of Ccusetill, from the Mansion House— (he said he 'did sot care a curse about the name). Nathan was, be declared, generally his fence, and generally r e : him a Rood price. Tea of his companions base trans potted. r •t ♦• - ' 13 4.W..11
