!MIL. DESCRIPTIJN OF DUBLIN. (ST •N •SIFIRICAN TOURIST.) The •city presents the most extraordinary contrast of poverty anti magnificence to be met with in Europe.— As rat approach it you find the stibtfrbs composed of 'loves, the si.:es of which are I attly stone and partly earth, the roc,fs of 'inf . , the entrances aSoist four feet :tad a half high, and tiie whole dimensions of each not cv_eceir.g twelve to boat teen feet square. These.mise r ttse caves filly or tray not have a hole for a window, :21.1 an apert.a e nn tre :op to let out the smoke if the vory of fire can be afforded. Around the door the du tv children are ',whiled—opt one half are decently clad . , some ca . theal soil evince no. ions of civilization by slinking into Ow house, or turning their bare parts against the w::11. I see hundreds who.e whole dress, con sisting of *mass of rag , , of all colours and all sorts °fla b ics, will not fm Dish one piece of cloth eight inches square ; and these tatters seem to be sewer' together only to prevent them &setting each other. Having passed the suburbs, the dwellings improve; and, on reaching Sackvilie-street, you imagine yourself in one of the finest cities in Eurnee. In walking over the city, the late Parliament Howe (now the Bank), the Ex change, the qiity along the Liffey. and several of the publicsquates, excite the stranger sjaJmiration. There is no part of London which can compare with the centre of Dublin in beauty and magnificence. But in turning the eye from the atchitecteral splendour which sur rounds him, ttpon the crowds which flow along the • streets, the sti anger v ill be su tic k. with the motley na ture of the throng. Here is a la's almost buoyant with satin and feathers ; there a trembling girl of eighteen, purple from Cad ; shrinking from shame, and drawing around her the I nor rags which, with all her care, scarce cover her body; hem is an Erguisile, perfuming the air as he passes, with rings on his fingers, diamonds on his brooch, and a gemmed quizzing-glass at his side; there is an' honest fellow, who cannot afford a hat, whose feet, summer and winter, know not the luxury of shoe or stocking, and whose whole wardrobe consists of but two articles, viz. a tattered jacket, and about half a !tair of small clothes ; and, ,not to multiply pic tures, while the Lieutenant dashes by in a coach and four, the stranger gazes' at the gallant an.d.costly pa geant, while he empties his pockets to satisfy the throng of beggars who priy him, in the name of Gov, to give them a penny.—Lli,gelote's Skelchei.' SALISBURY CRAGGS. It is Well known that the quarrying for stones in Salisbury Craggs has been going on for some years ; and in a short time, if no effectual measures are taken to strip the work of destruction, this most beautiful and picturesque otject, far beyond all the works of art with winch we have adorned our metropolis, will only be matter if history-. The abrupt heights of Arthur's Seat not only present a very happy specimen of mountain scenery, but there is something singular also in their position so near a populous town, which renders them greatly more striking and characteristic. This wild and mountainous piece of ground is so different from all the a.lj ining scenery, that it seems as if had it been trans p-rted to its present situation by some accident. It looks lake a picture accidentally hung up as it were for the bone-. fit of the whole inhabitants of Edinburgh, who may have at any time a view of this grand and picturesque sketch of natural beauty. We never weary with contemplating the works of nature. They are always new and interest ing, whether they belong to the grand or the beautiful.— The eye gazes accordingly with ever-increasing gratifi cation on these stupendous and frowning precipices, and on the whole adjacent ground, indeed, which is of the same bold and romantic character. No one, therefore, who has any interest in the progress- and improvement of Edinburgh, can contemplate, without the greatest pain, the desulation which every day is now making in this admired spot. Already the beauties of the picture are greatly defaced, and, in ; lace of the bold and an tique rocks which gave such an impression of grandeur, we now see on the south-side the detestable prospect of a stone quarry, full of all the vile and misshapen forms which such rude excavation: never faiLto produce; and very soon the progress of destruction will be more marked; the west-side of the rock is still entire, but in process of time it must shale the late of the other parts, and the whole will thus be converted into one mass of deformity. This is an evil greatly to be deplored, and yet it is difficult to see any remedy. The subject has of late excited great interest among all classes, and we understand that a inblic meeting has been mentioned for the pnrposes ref raising a subscription to pay the Earl of Haddington 14 his right of quarrying away t:ilse rocks. Tire expense would form the great objec tion to this scheme. Brit some of the leading men of the community should certainly consider it there is any practicable means of preventing farther mischief ; and if any plan could be devised for saving w hat yet re mains of three romantic objects, it would, we have no dnebt, - meet with general support, while its promoters would well deserve the gratitude of th;:ir fellow-eitizars. FRANCIS HAYMAN'. This artist, who is known to the present generation, and will doubtless, in some degree, be known to suc ceeding ones by means of his pictures of the British heroes, which adorn the interior of the rotunda at Vaux hall Gardens, was an ectiantic personage, and numerous anecdotes of him are in consequence related. It is well known that the late M. Cosway was al ways, in dre.ss and manners, the very reverse of Hay . roan. One night, at the c 411) held at the Turk's Head, Gerrard-street, Soho, the former called in, alter a visit at Court, in red-heeled shoes, and otherwise dressed a la macaroni, %%hen the 1 ty4o. was so full that lie could not tire! a vacant scat. e What, c. u rst thou find no rood,?" said Hayman to firm in a sneering manner— " Come, here my little Jack-a-clang, and sit upon my knee, my little monkey." "If I did," retorted Co s w a y, wou ld not be tl.e lira time the monkey rode the bear." [layman and Beau Nash having one evening been riining in a tavern, were returning i:,toxicated, when Nash tell into tl.e kennel. His companion, in endea vouring to raise him, felt down also, on which Nash immured, " What's the "UN of troublieg yourself? The watch will come by soon, athd they will pick us both up." , I-Lyman, who eel: deserved 'the designation of bear, strongly opposite in behaviour 'fir tar e polite Carlini, - who ever insisted on seeing him home'frosn. the Turk's Head. On - parting, his - constant manr.er Of . thanking - Clirliei was by saying, " There, ,Mr. Carlini,, now you • viay go, and be d—d : good night." " Taiikee, Mr. Hayman," was the constant reply of the foreigner. • • • • iA Lady coniplaining to the watelman that he did not attend to his duty whan people were-asleep, the fel low referred her to Mr. Hayman, who &omit's coming bomeat all hours in the morning, could iiiform her that hewn hewer froth his post. ILlepan's wife was ordered by the i hysicians to Falnce for the benefit of her hellth. She afterwards wrote to him to came and fetch her, which he refaced to do. Some time aster her death, on locking over the charges of her Nile: al, he said to P.sine; the architect,' who was his particular triend, and will knew on w h at indifferent terms they lived, at 'the same time shrugging up his shou:ders ; ~ Well, I ought not to giumble, for she would have paid such a bill for me with pleasure." Hayman, it is said, painted the original Barley-mow, in Piccadiliy, in reference to which, flogarth has intro. duced him in one of his pictures as a sign painter, with the elbows of his coat torn, and the shirt visible. There was, in+lay man's time, a song by Christopher Smart, which used to be sung by the common people, beginning with these lines— " Cupid shoots like Hymen's archer, Wheresoe'er the urchin" turns." The real words were*Hayinan's .archer, alluding to a picture of Cupid, painted by this artist. Hayman painted all. the 'rout of the boxes at Ber mondsey Spa, to which place the body of artist; used many years to go to a commemorative annual dinner. A FOSSIL ELEPHANT Has been discovered on the east side of Lyons, in a garden situated on the hill which separates the Rhine and the Saone. The bones were discovered in what the men supposed was virgin earth, never having been turned up by either spade or pick-axe. M. Bieiin, the Directeur of the Royal Vete: 'wiry School, repaired to the spot, and recognised, in the huge bones discoverel by the workmen, the bones of an elephant. The humerus was twelve feet and a half long, and nine inches broad at its upper extremity ; the tibia was two feet and a half, and two fragments of the scapulum were together tsso feet in length. There was tlie head of a _femur, and several other pieces of bones, so that M. Bredin had no difficulty in coming to a decision. Ignorant persons supposed they were the bo:ies of some giant ; others thought they had belonged to a Ma.nmoth ; the lovers of historical recollections supposed they might have been the bones of one of the elephants of Han nibal's army ; but M. Biedin sees in this skeleton a con firmation of that religious tradition which has pt eserved an account of the catastrophe that formerly destroyed the globe we now inhabit. Among the elephant's bones, the bones of an ox were also discovered. HONEY SUGAR.—The Jews in Moldavia and Ukrane have a method of making honey into a hard and white sugar, which is employed by the distillers of llaiitzic to make their liqueurs. The process consists in exposing the honey to the frost during three weeks, sheltered from the sun and snow in a vase of some material which is a bad conductor of caloric: The honey does not freeze, but becomes transparent and hard as sugar. —llanoverisches Magazin. STEAM-CARRIAGIL—About two years ago, we men tioned the invention of Mr. Gough, of a steam-can ilge to run on common roads, and its having been tried on tha StoCkport road. Since that time, we have heard nothing of this vehicle until the present week. Tuesday evening, however, the inventor gave it another trial. Its pace on level ground was about three miles an hour, and, in addition to the guide, who sits in front, it car ried three or four passengers. The steam-engine is on the high pressure principle, and its power, we under stand, acts exclusively on the hind wheels.—Manches ter Paper. Tuesday, as JAI4Es BLAKELEY, Esq. the Tutor of the children of the Dean of &ram, residing at the Royal Crescent, Brighton, was bathing to the east of that town, he was unfot. tunately drowned. The usual means to restore suspended animation were had recourse to ineffectually. A field of five acres, at Heworth, has produced the very great quantity of 351 thraves, or 702 stonks, which are estimated to yield at the rate of upwards of thirty bolls per acre. It may not be generally known, that by an Act of Parliament (6 Anne, cap. 31), the Churchwardens of every parish in London and Westminster are directed to fix plugs, or fire-cocks, in the streets; and m.default thereof, are liable to a penalty of 101. Saturday week, in the parish of Davidstow, Devon, a person gave a tea-spoonful of oil of vitriol, to an in fant, in mistake for syrup of rhubarb. The little inno cent lingered in torment for an hour, when death put a period to its sufferings. A circumstance of a novel kind occurred at St. Mar. tin's Church, in Birmingham, last week. A youthful couple presented themselves at the altar to be married. The bridegroom performed his part of the ceremony with due propriety, but when the consent of the bride was required, she remained silent, and the earnest per suasion of all the party could not induce her to speak. They were of course dismissed. On the following day, however, they presented themselves again : the capri cious Lady had recovered her speech, and, after a suit. able admonition from the Clergy man, they were mai vied. An Inquest was held at the Union, Covent-garden, on the body of the youth, whose death we announced in our last.—When a Medical Gentleman imputed his death to a bowel complaint, and not to starvation, as at first conjectured ; and the Jury returned a verdict— Died by the Visitation of GOD. Between seven and eight ►:'clock on Wednesday evening, as one of the Hampton•court stages was pro. ceeding down the road from Piccadilly, full inside and out with passengers, just as it rvached Knightssridge, opposite the Cannon Brewhouse, the axle•tiee broke, the coach was upset, and the %thole of the passengers pitched into the road, several of whom received severe bruises, but only one, an old Gentleman, was very seriously hurt. Some time since a sailor, on his ship being paid off at Portsmouth, hired a post-chaise to convey him to town, and particularly ordered the postillion to keep a look-out ahead, and be sure to inform him when they. touched upon Bagshot-heath, for (to use his own ex pression) he had heard that that coast " was damnably infested with pirates."—Jack had provided himself with a quantity of pistols, and other deadly weapons, and aimed "from top to toe," he crept into the vehicle, bidding the driver " shove off," with a volley of impre cations. Nothing notorious occurred till they reached the bot ders of the piratical province, when the post:llion turned round and informed his honour," they were upon the heath :--" Then, damme," good' lie, thrusting both his feet through the front gia.ses of the chaise " down with the bulk-heads, and stand prepared for action !" and in this position, with a pistol in each hand, to give the enemy a brOadside in case of his appearance, the tar continued to the end of his journey. ~i f. ANECDOTES OF LOUfS . _• . . Louis XVIII. was a per ms of most engaging conver talon, and it became the fashion, at the Restoration, to comphre hirit to Henry IV. It was, perhaps, to bear out the likeness that he frequently indulged in 6on, mots, in which he was not without success. Many have been marked by happy turns of compliment, satire, or magnanimity. His observation on the neglect of dui) , By the public servants, and the mode of escape of La vedette, was worthy of Henry IV. " The only person," stud he, whose duty has beet done in this affair is Ma dame Lavalette." His,pleasantries sometimes gave of-1 fence to the transfuges of the Imperial Court—among others to M. de Segur, to whom he observed upon his frequent change of coats in such a manner as to re maid the Chamberlain of his being a torn•coat. Ano ther instance is related of his turn fit satire, in which he displa)ed the more respect Able virtae of intrepidity. During his residence in, we believe, a town in Germany, having appeared at the window of his apartment, a shot was fired, and the ball grazed his temple. The emigrant cow fiefs ran up to hi rria:l consternation, udan't make yourselves uneasy, Gen'lemen," said he, u you would merely have to cry, • Live Charles the Tenth l'" The Duke de Berry, taking offence at some officer in public, personally assaulted him, and AC! u.,11y to:e off his epaulettes. The insulted officer waited upon the King to complain of the outrage on himself, and the insult offered to the French uMform. The King adopted the only course, 'probably, which could satisfy the. jus tice of :he case without compromi,ing his own or his family's honour.—" Sir ; " said he, " Berry is a poor fel low, and 1 suppose he wanted a pair of epaulettes; al low me tl pre s ent you with a new pair in place of the ones which he has taken." The Officer, on his re turn to hi, lodgings, found himself promoted to the rext military rank, and a pair of epaulettes to corre spond to his new dignity. SPONGE. The following extract of a letter from a Gentlerhan in Nassau, New Providence, gives a curious description of the manner in which the attention of the inhabitants of the 13aliama Islands has been turned to a new branch of commerce, in the collection of sponge for exporta tion, of which article it appears those island; produce great quantities. The letter in question is dated Nas sail, April 18: " A most unexpected revolution has lately taken place with re spect to the exports of this colony. Sponge--spongesporige—is now the only word which is heard or listened to along the bay, and that refuse of the ocean, which, for centuries untold, had remained contemned and unheeded beneath our waters, at present gives em ployment to the whole force of our marine. The silk-worm could never have done more for Its than the sponge-worm. Not a fish to be purchased at our market, except at a most unconscionable price, for the smacks are all sponging; not a wholesome piece of beef or mutton for an Israelite's dinner, for the droghers have all become spongers! and not a cedar to be seen along the abutment of the bay, for cedars pay not half so well as sponges. They are now said to he in very high demand as an article of manufacture in England, and more so in France. Considerable shipments have been already made, not only to the mother country, but America ;and if the prices of the European market are quo►ed with anything like truth (from 7s. to 17s. and 275. sterling per lb.), many here will make their fortunes; and whilst our seas phoduce sponge, the Bahamas must flourish. The harbour Islanders, Abacomans, and Eleathe- Aso, are now the weakliest men (the only ready money ones) in the, colony." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ltl A NSION- HOUSK A man named It4sert Williams, was brought before the Loan %volt, charged with having convened to his own use eleven coats, the property of a person named Clark. John Connolly stated, that he was security to lir Clark for the Wiriest dealing of the prisoner, in whose house a fire afterwards toot place. The prisoner pleaded to his employer, that -the coats had been all burnt in the fire, and as property-was certainly lost, it was supposed that the account was true. However, soon after wards it was ascertained that some of the coats were pledged at a pawnbroker's i and the prisoner admitted that four of them bad been saved an d pawned. Mr. Connolly said, the prisoner had positively pkdged some of the property before the fire, and therefore had no ground of excuse for the absence of that which had been entrusted to him to finish. There was no evidence to that effect, and his Lot dship remanded the CAS!. .Agulter, who was charged by the Solicitor fur the Post office with having forged the name of one of his bail, was brought up. 11!r. Dowling, the solicitor, said, the Governors of the Post-office had determined, upon an examination of the evidence against the prismer, nut to proceed in the prosecution. The practice of forg ing bail, of which two Instances had recently occurred, would be effectually checked by the mode suggested by the Lord Mayor, of sending the solicitor's clerk to see the signature of each security placed to the several instruments.—The prisoner was discharged. A fellow named Smith was charged with having indecently as saulted two females in the street at night. This was one of many charges which have been within the last week brought before the LORD Mara*, in which the defendants have been described as guilty of the most vile conduct to women who appeared to be unprotected. The ruffian observed the elder complainant's husband walking before her, but not knowing that he was related to her, assaulted her in the manner described, and caught hold of her female companion in the same manner imme diately afterwards. Before the tuflian had proceeded to this in decent extremity, the married complainant told him that her bus. band was walking on befora her, and she certainly would call out if site and her friend were not ullowed to pass without being molested. —The defendant Laughed at this threat, which was not immediately put into execution, in consequence of the fear entertained by the Ladies that something desperate might occur. An officer, however, was just passing, and the married Lady, without making any noise about the matter, put her assailant into his custody, so that there was no longer any danger of a contest between the latter and ber husband. The Loan Moron lamented that he was daily called upon to com mit men fur such atrocious assaults as had been just described. The character of the people, it would appear, was undergoing a compkte revolution. It proved the necessity that existed for men to stick to their wives and families. In every case of this kind he was deter mined to commit in default of ball, and to compel prosecutions. The defendant and two others, fot similar assaults, were com mitted fur trial. GUILmIALL. Romer sr SISRVANTS.—Another lamentallie instance of that continually recurring offence—robbery by servants upon their em ployers—came under the cognizance of Mr. Alderman Scooter, the Sitting Magistrate at this Justice-room, yesterday. The prisoner, in this case, was a very tashionably dressed and gol:teel.looking young man, named lietijamiii Cook, the confidential warehouseman in the employ of Mr. .1. Marsh, wholesale glover, Maiden-lane, Wood-street. Some circumstances had come to Mr. Marsh's knowledge, which led him to suspect that the prisoner was appropriating to his own use part of the cash that necessarily cama•iilta his hands, a* it seemed quite certain that his salary could nut support the extravagant nature of his expenditure ; an investi gation into his accounts was the consequence, and the first discovery was the receipt of a sum of £2 Ids. for which he had never ac counted, and which, indeed, be acknowledged he had applied to his own use. Mr. Marsh having been frequently robbed by his servants determined at last to make an example. An officer was ' accordingly sent for, who, on searching him, found certain letters, which indicated an expensive connexion with a frail fair one, anu as the prmins he had made h:tr were such as were likely to have originally formed part of Mr. Marsh's stock, the prisoner's lodging* in London-wall were searched, and there no less than eight amid thirty pair of French gloves of different descriptions, a pair or two of silk garters, &c. were found, all cf which Mr. Marsh had no doubt had been stolen from his warehouse. The depredations from !:is master were rot, it scents, sufficient to support the connexion de had formed, fur ro less than fourteen duplicates weir found, mostly felr wearing apparel, either of his cr the female's. Mr. Marsh said fur was compelled, in his own defence, to bring him to punishment, as he was the alith *oilman in SuccessiOn who had rubbed Iniu. The prisoner offering no defence, was accordingly renitats‘t g 3t , further erratuivatitui. MAR I.BORbUGII-STR !MT. Tuesday a charge appeared entered in S. James's watch book, against Lady M.rt • Antonia Winnington, for an as It t pon Mr. Gilbert, a tradesman, in Bond-street ; but ehe fair prisoner nut being forthcoming, the Magistrate enquired flit. course of fres absen c when the Constable of the Night Worthiest Ides, char, behaving ti k . Lady to be-the person she represented herself, he himself eine: tll into hail, in the usual form, for her appearatice. The Magistrate said, that, however. oraiseworthy this 21 of gallantry might lie; unless 1* produced his prisceter, his let ,gni - • settees would I* in some danger. To make assurance doubly sure, Mr. Gilbert* notwithstaridirt the Night-Constable', promise to.produce his prisoner,. took out warrant against Lady Maria Antonia Winnington ; and, in tii : course of the day after, Lady Mata Antonia Witaiinlaon. caals „u. a cross-warrant against Mr. Gilbert, fur art assault and fahe itapri. Sonment p and, by mutual consent, one o'clock yesterday rre; pointed to hate both warrants heard. Mr. Gilbert being first on the list, he was called upon to charge ; and Lady Maria Antonia Winnington, a person of v er y genteel figure, and elegantly dressed, stepped forward, ac eompanh i ! .. by several friends, to meet her accuser. Mr. Gilbert said, that the sister of the defendant rents a hoe,. of his, which, had he known as much as he doea . now, at the tint he let it to her, she never ehould have occupied; but of Lady herself he knew nothing whatevet, nor had he ever been her until about eight o'clock on Monday night, when she came ti' hi. house, and at being introduced into his office, she c:nin tec ,. 4 abusing him in the most shocking manner, because, as she slid. intended to dispdssess her sister of the house she held of hits, 4s.it threatened, if he did so, to annihilate him • at the same time Lot:. ing het clenched fist in his face. Ile ordered her quietly. to leav e the house, but she still continued to abuse him, andesclectied a mei, round his door. To avoid her, he walked down hut). Pocczniiiiy, but .tat? still followed him, with some.man who accompanied her; and fearing personal danger front both, he gave the Lady into th e custody of a watchman, and charged her at the watch-boooe. Harrington, a watchman, said that he took charge of the Lily by the direction of Mr. Gilbert, whom she attempted several anus to strike, while going to the watch-house; and that the Gen:leo: 4l who was with the Lady at the time, a Mr. Sergeantson, a wine_ merchant, in Pall-mall, endeavoured to rescue her, and she bermi; offered him (the watchman) a sovereign to her go. This watch man said that her Ladyship, whoever she was, was blind drurk at the time. Two servants in the house of Mr. Gilbert also spoke to the vio lent conduct of the defendant on the evening in question, and her threats to Mr. Gilbert. In calling on the defendant for her rerly to this charge, the 'Ala. gistrate asked her If he should address her as Mrs. Winnington. ur Lady Winnington?.--She replied, Lady Winnington, certainly, which neither Mr. Gilbert nor anybody else could deny. She is, she said, the wife of Sir John %V' • gton.'who has conaucted him self in well a manner towards her, by giving the preference to the society of another Lady, that a suit is pending in the Ecclesiastical Court for their entire separation, and it is at the instigation of her husband and this Lady —, that Mr. Gilbert had acted towards her as he had done. The real circumstances, she said, which oc curred on Monday night were these :—Her sister, some time ago, took a house from a Colonel Monroe, to whom this Mr. Gilbert is a sort of agent, and receives the rent. For sonic reason or other they now want a pretext to turn her sister out of the house, as they teem to repent of the bargain they had made; and although there is not a farthing rent due until the 49th inst. Mr. Gilbert has been threatening to take possession of the house. On Mondly evening she called on Mr. Gilbert to say that the rent would be paid on the day it became due, by Mr. 3languall, of A Iderniatihury, her Soli citor, and therefore not to take any steps against Ler sister ; upon which Mr. Gilbert flew into a rage, and in the rudest wanner turned, her out of the house; and not content with this, be followed her into Piccadilly, for the putpose,as she well knew, of watching where the resided, to give her husband an opportunity of annoying her. MA RY-LA-BONNE. A singular case Was heard at this Office on Monday and Wednes day last. It was is the form of a charge of robbery, preferred by a Frenchwoman, calling herself Virginia Penot, against Mr. Askew, a respectable tradesman in Oxford-street. It appeared in evidence, that the prosecutrix was in the employ of the prisoner for some time previously to and sip to May last, when, by his permissive, she went to Cheltenham. She stated that she left, locked up in a drawer of a bureau in hxr rAnn, a number of articles her property, particularly some trinkets wrapped up in a billet dour, from a No bleman. On her return, she found the lock had been picked, and the property taken away. The .sillet dour was in the possession of Mr. Askew, and there was tont! evidel:ce of his having employed an Irish smith to pick a lock. Miss Deulard (a French lady, in the enteloy of Mr. Askew) gave her evidence through au interpreter. She knows Miss Perot. She had seen in her possession coral and 'amt er necklaces, rings, and ear-rings. One ring in particular, with the portrait of the Emperor of Russia. (Some rings set with brilliants were handed to witness). She thought them like those she bad seen in Miss Perot's possession. Mr. Askew shewed 'her a letter. It was signed S. V. hat is net quite certain. It contained something about " blue eyes and black eyes." On being asked to explain what this meant, she said the French Nobleman wrote to Miss Perot, " If you hate a boy with blue eyes, and I have black eyes, you must find a father with blue eyes te maintain it." Witness received from Mr. Askew i,sno francs a year. The Sitting Magistrate cottidered that a suffizient case had been made tout to jestify his sending it to a Jury ; and he according'y cons- matted Mr. Askew to Newgats fur trial, and bound the parties over to prosecute.

The General Gates sailed from Boston in 1821, on a sealing 'torte, and on the 10th of August following, Nu was landed with tve others on the coast of New Zealand, to catch seals.—.liter remain.: ing there six weeks, having procured 5,56 a skins, they were tam by a party of natives of New Zealand, at ten or eleven o'clock at night. The natives set fire to their huts, burnt their skins, and de stroyed their provisions, sot knowing the use of them. They then tied their hands behiud them, and marched them to Looking Glass Bay, a distance of more than a hundred and fifty miles. They had nothing to eat but roasted fish. They were then marched two hundred miles to Sandy Bay, where they found a collection of savages, who carried them before their King and Queen. As soon as they arrived, one of their number,John Rawterof London, was ordered to be killed. lie was tied to a tree, and struck nis the head by two savages, armed with clubs. His head was cut off old buried, and the rest of the body they roasted in a kind of oven under ground, and offered to the survivors to eat; and haa f og nothing else, they were forced by hunger to partake of it. 'lies' tied the remaining five to a tree, with fifty men to guard them. IThe next day, James IVeb:•ter was killed anti roasted; the city after, William Rawson, of New London; and the day thee,. Wit ham Smith, of New York, shared the same fate. The twat day, from what they could learn from the chief, James West, of New York, was to die; but the night previous, a heavy squall rose from the east, with thunder and rain, which so frightened the natives, that they all ran away to the West, with a hideous nose, leaving the men tied under the tree. They succeed-d in ua:)icg them selves, escaped to the shore, found their boat, in which they put to sea without provisions. They were not thirty yards from the shore, when they saw 700 savages coming in search of them. They had been three days in the boat, when they were picked up by the brig M ,Margery, Captain White, of Sidney, New South Wales, at which place they were landed on the lOtis of November.—Bastan (Unita States) Daily Advertiser.
