P CITY.. TYTHXS. F.\ Yesterday a numerous and respectable Meeting of the inhabitants of the perish of Sc. Olive, Hit t-street, was' held in the Vestry-room of the Church, to adopt catain Resolutions, relative to the following letter that was received by the Chairman of the Tythe Committee of that Parish from the Rev. Dr. Owen, V e Rector— Mr. Jones, the Churchwarden, in the Chair. "Sm—Sinee the Tythe Committee of my Parish must be aware that their late application to Parliament bath impokd on me a heavy expense. I should holstein their sense of justice will induce them to defray It —Your g. faithfully, • • • " 11. a OWEN. " Rectory, Hart-street, July 8, 182.5. N To Mr. Jones, Chairman of the said - Committee." After the Requisition concerning the Meeting had been read, Mr. RYLAND said, that atter the Petition, which was dm-inc the last Session presented to P.,rliament, respect ing Ihe Tythes of the Parish, he had to ped the Patidtioners would have bten allowed to remain in quietness until the question MIS again agitated in the 1-lou,e of Commons. In presenting that Petition, his fel.low-iratisitioners had done no more than esercise one of the noblest tights of Englishmea. Although on that occasion Mr. Peel and the Bishop of London had said, th :t 2s. 91. in the pound was payable by the law pf the laud, yet he still thought otherwise. The recent exaction had been avowed by the Rector to be a sat of punishment for those who had signed the Petition; which, on being presented to the I....%;slatute, was heard, and the question lairl; itegued ; and although there was a great op.;:::sition to it - from the Ministerial Pt.r. the Bill was, notwithstanding, ordered to be ;rad I second time, and the question stood over until next Session. In the meantime, he was sorry that threats had been held out to those persons who had signed the Petition. and an endeavour made to compel, those only to pay the abominable sum of 23. 9d. in the pound. The rental of the Parish could not fairly be reckoned at more than 11,0001; although the -Rector had estimated it at 18,0001. Mr. Saunas observed. that the Rector only intended receiving the extra sum for one quarter. to enable him to defray the expenses he bad been at in opposing the Petition, and that if there wets any overplus, •it would be returned. Mr. DAVY said, lie had heard the Rector declare he' would have the money out of the pockets of those whose names graced the foot of the Petition. Mr. Hitt said he entertained no hostile feeling to wards the Rector, but, from a sense of the duty he owed to his fellow-parishioners, he would move the first Resolution. Mr. RoLPIt said, that neither Carlisle, Paine, nor any deistical writer, could do half so much harm to the cause of Religion as the conduct of Dr. Owen. His services as a Christian Teacher were so little valued, that several of his . congregation left the Church last Sunday morning on his ascending the pulpit. His con . duct had turned the pulpit into a counting-house, and the Bible into a day-book; and had made Divinity a trade. He concluded by moving the second Resolution, which is as carried unanimously. Mr. Si UE3S said he had known the Rector 18 years, and always considered him an uptight and honourable wan. The Doctor would refund all that went beyond the stipend he had before received, after deducting the exyenses he had been pat to by the Petition. Mr. Tutamott asked Mr. S. if he were authorized by the Doctor to say so? to which he replied in the ne. gative; but said he had the information fro?n his son. Several other Gentlemen afterwards addreised the Meeting at chnilderable length, *fbr whose speeches we are enable to and coops. 'A cops of the Resolutions was ordered to be transmitted to the Rector. in answer to his letter; and after voting thanks to the Chairman, the Meeting separated. The latest letters from Sunderland state, that the terror and alarm which existed in-the whole town dtir ing gnat part of last week had considerably subsided; and le was believed that the prompt and vigorous mea sures cf the police., the verdicts of justifiable homicide en the bodies of the rioters, and the commitment of the' audacious witness, Williamson. for rioting, hid pro.

Gap station, cap tured, on-Thursday morning last, a valuable galley, forty-two feet long, laden with tobacco, paintings, spi rits of brandy and gin, silks, etc. said to be the most valuable cargo taken an that neighbourhood these two or three years.

The rain was succeeded by hail•liones of the size of eggs, which broke the glass of all windows not protected by shutters. When die sky cleared somewhat up, it was melancholy to see the vessels in the roads driving fast, and in imminent dan• !t er of running ashore. Had the tempest cobenued a lit le loner, they wouisl have all been lost. As it was, a number of gondolas a isl boats went down. The ves sels a: the leoer lazaretto suffered most. A three masted vessel struck on the coast, hut she was got off. On the noticing of the 24th, three dead bodies were. found in the canal, and one in the Guideeca. Several fishing-boats a hich were out have not ietutned, and it is`supposed they are lost. It is probable that the tem pest extended to Trieste, as the steam-boat which sails botaeen that port and Venice had not arrived in the regular course. • The Board of Inland Navigation has received direc tiers' from Mr. GouLstray. to carry into effect, with as little delay as possible, the projected plan for extending the tievrty Canal . from Fads= to the sea, near Ity lind giver.

Mary Colmar was indicted for the wilful murder of , 'a woman unknown, on the 112 d of April last, near a place called New IlisuinThem, on the -.borders of else Ceunty Hilkerwry. . It arFeared that the prisoner was an abandoned ci.a racier, ant associated w;th another female named Eden Johnson, Who was still .more lost to all sense of shame. While strolling together through the country, they met with the dece.ised, who wks an •unhappy. creature of similar habits, and the three agreed to. pur sue their 'common course of iniquitf in the vicinity of the barracks at New Birmingham. They were, how ever, reduced to the most deplorable state of destitution, having frequently been forty-eight hours without fond. On cnie of those occasions the prisoner stole a few pota toet, and proceeded with her companions to an adjacent limTkiln for the purpose of roasting them. Eilenjohnson now stated; that while at the litnekilns a quarrel arose between the prisoner and the deceased, who having first receivei a violent blow on the hack of her head, was thrown by the prisoner into the binning kiln, where the body was discovered next day in a most shocking state. The legs a►:d arms were literally burned off, and the trunk partly consumed. The wit. ness Johnson further deposed that sh:? wisketi to sure the deceased, but that the prisoner exclair..ed, " Let her lie in the kiln and ue d—d to her," pulling a itriess away at the same time, while the latter fainiel on seeing such a frightful spectacle. The testimony of Wien Jansen was corroborated in many par tiesiarsty smoother witnesses ; but as it appeared on cross.eaa• mutation that she was a most infamous woman, and had mune forward ruder the apprehension of being prosecuted herself, the Jury gave no credit to what she swore, and acquitted the prisoner. DREADFUL THUNDER STORM IN IT® LY. COLTERETO PARZLLA, JULY 24. (ix THE racnurci OE JOREA). A most dreadful storm in the course of last night, has spread desolation over this district. The whole of yesterday the sky was covered with heavy clouds, and at midnight profound darkness prevaileJ, only broken by frequent dashes of lightning. Instead of the usual sound of thunder, a low universal rumbling preceded for half an hour the destructive hail, which fell in impetuous torrents, driven by the North wind. The intense darkness, the sound of the bells, the crash of the hail, that of the roofs and windows s hattered to pieces, with the mournful cries of the country people, in spired universal terror, more easily conceived than de acribed. At half.past one o'clock the fury of the tem pest abated, and we only heard the distant rolling of the thunder. The dawn of day came but too soon tol shew us the extent of the disaster ; the vineyards which promised the richest crops, the fields which gave the most flattering hopes, are become a desert; as far as the eye can reach not a trace of vegetation is to be seen: the fields, the roads, the roofs are covered with hail: it is noon, and the stones are still the size of a hens egg on a wide extent of country not a note of a bird is to be heard ; the country people are gathering them up by baskets lull, killed and mutilated by the hail, and they find in the furrows numbers of hares and foxes, victims of this tremendous visitation. The damage done to the houses and other buildings is vzry cond. derable. It is impossible to estimate the extent of the injury, but it is certain that the vineyards and planta. I tions of Aleige are wholly ruined.

As Staff-Serjeant Allistcm, belonging to the recruit= ing deparanent in Westminster, was embarking on Wednesday wilt a detachment of recru4s, at Billings; gate, for Gravesend, on their route to Chatham, he and one of the recruits, owing to the sudden movement o! one of the boarding planki, were precipitated into the river, and unfortunately drowned. Sunday week, seven young men went from the Vil lage of Farnworth to Widness wharf, opposite to Run corn, to bathe, when four of them met an untimely death, and the other three had nearly shared a similar fate. The names of those drowned are Dweryhouse, Parr, Rose, and Piercy. The bodies were found in about two hours, but their features were so much die- lighted, as scarcely to Ee recognized by the parents. DREADFUL ACCIDEKT6.—Tuesday evening, a Gentie• man dismounted from his horse in Portland-place, and gave it to be held by a boy on the spot. The Gentle man had scarcely entered the house, when the boy mounted the horse, and the animal ran off at full speed. The boy held by the mane until he reached the corner of All Souls Church, when he lost his seat, and his foot catchiog in the stirrup, I,e was dragged a considerable distance, liis head striking the ground. A Grattleman named Valence, obstrving the peii ous situation of the boy, ran fiurn the pavement, and caught the horse by the bridle; but while ettficatitig_ the boy, the animal struck the litc'e fel'ow with his tore-foot on the head, which 'dread:Way Itcetattd it.

He was immediately conveyed to the Mary-la-bcnne Infirmary. Bouvan. 7 -While as patriotic leader lived in King ston, Jamaica, he applied himself unremittingly to the study of Europe in tactics, and though absent, unwil lingly absent, for a time, from the scene of action, was constantly employed in committing to raper the plans of battles, which he afterwards so successfully reduced to practice. In particular, he eagerly embraced every opportunity of watching the manceavres of the troops about Kingston ; and such was his enthusiasm and mental abstraction, that lie was frequently seen stand ing in the front of the line, unconsciously acting the part of a fuglernau. This citcumstance, together with his constant appearance on the drill-ground, naturally attracted the attention of the Commanding Officer, who, having learnt the character and quality of the stranger, very obligingly ordered his men to repeat occasionally some of those movements in which Bolivar took the greatest interest. Short as his residence in the island was, he added much to his previous stock of mi litary knowledge; and when Morillo next met him in the . field, he found be had a new enemy to contend with, and the Liberator is candid enough to ascribe much of his subsequent good fortune to his accidental visit to Jamaica.—Dumfries Courier. . : • ts. .aisseas. In the department of the ,astern FErennees it has been' the custom, time imesernorial, to celebrate the Patrol:4a: nu' days by feasting And P4blic :amusements, one of the principal and most faeoorne of which is the dance. Hitherto these joyous scenes have been pro. :tried by the local authorities, and at a not very IA mote pea iod, it was custom-.try for the Governors of the Piovine to be present on these occasioos, and the Money received from ea.:h couple for dancing was. -after paying the musicians, appropriated .to repairing o. ornarnentiog the Church. BO a total reformation is, it appears, about to be had in these matters at pre sent ; for M.Raiinbout, Cure of Neill*, has denounced these merry meetings as being most impious and cri. minal. He has forbidden his flock to be present at them, and has obstinately refused for a long time back to give the Sacrament to—what he calls the arch agent Of Satan—t%e poor village minstrel, who supported a l large family by making his neighbours gay and happy with the sound of his pipe and tambourine. Ti;:s aa fottunate ex-Orpheus addressed a memoiial to the Bisho t ) of Perpignan, to he . received the follow ing rather curious reply Sir, your long complaint ag:tinst your Cure has reached my Lord, who commands me thus to reply to it. It is unfortunate that you are not in a situation to enable y::u to support your family without wcrlting ; bet you must allow there ate other'' intans of gaining a livelihood besides that daugerous art which )cu exercise, and which, by exciting the passions of others, must lay a grievous burden upon your ct.,nscience." The letter then recommends him to submit ia olicitly to his Cure, without which there is no salvation or Sacrament for him. POLICE iNTELLIUENCE. GUILDHALL. H.

BOW-STREET. Last evening, at eight o'clock, Mr. Wilfinss CAtilnuts, the late clerk of blears. Hoare, the bankers, in Fleet-street, who has been several • weeks in custody on charges of embezeßng Exchequer Bills to the amount of £l,OOO and upwards, the property of his em ployers, was brought from the House of Conecdon, and underwent a final examination. The'prisoner, when first taken into custody. was privately exarninedlefore Sir ROMAN> Bigets, and remanded for a week ? but when the appointed dal arrived, the order for his bang brought up was countermanded, and so it was, from time to time, until last night. Mr. Law attended for the prosecution last evening, and Mr. Harmer appeared as the prisoner's solicitor. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. William Watfield, a pay master of Exchequer Bills, that it is the custom every year, upon a new issue of those bills, to call in the old ones ; and persons pre- senting the latter hires the option either to take the new bills in ex change or money. In September, 1824 the bills paid in Settember, 1823, were called in, and new bile gi ven in exchange. This wit nese produced a list of Racketeer bilis of 14123, to the amount of af4Ts,4oo,brogght into the payagke to be exchanged for the same amount of bills of 1824, with interest, on account of Messrs. Hoare. The witness next produced' a receipt for the bills, slgoerl on the back William Christmas, fur -Messrs. Wm. Hoare and Co. -and a draught to the amount of the interest. upon the bills. Mr. Wat , geld further stated, in answer to a question front Mr. Law, that there avert never two Exchequer bills of the same number issued in the*saitte year. The issue of -each year commenced at No.l, and went on. Mr. Robert*Cottoniof the house of Mesas. Hoare, deposed that ; • the rortnotanduns and signature on the receipt produced by Mr. Watgeld were thettodAeritingnf 'the prisoner. T.Makeourcit" -broka. stated, that on the 224 Jupe be received from and for Mr. William Christmas (the prisoose) Exchequer /3414 - Not 8,04, 5,535, and 3,556, each for 1001: and paid the produce, with tht usual deduations, to him. They were bills Of the lit his= of 1824. On the 25th June witness received from the prisoner three more Exchequer bills for 1001. each. Nos. $,55174,15211, and 3,529, which he also so - al. On the 14th of July he received and sold four other bills of the same issue tor Via each Nos. 10,530,10,531, 10,532, and 10,333 ; making altogether 10004 Witness received draughts for the amount of these bills from 31r. Harman, and paid over the money to the prisoner. The witness was never concerned for iEebisan of Hoare and CA ' Mr. Bleyrkk Hoare was called to prove the-names of the several partners of the Ann; Other evidence was then called to prove that the prisoner bad brought to account 100 W less than he had received on the Bache. qua bills mentioned. Sir R. Banat having understood that this was the whole of the evident* intended to be offered on this chap, asked the prisoner Jibe had any remark to make? at the same time cautioning hint that it was not absolutely necessary for him to speak. The prisoner said he should have an observation or two to make before the close of the examination. A second charge was then preferred against the prisoner, andl uhstantiated by' evidence, for embattling a Sc!. note, part of the interest upon the bills, which waspaid to him in money at the Bank of England. Mr. Law said this was the close of his case against the _prisoner, and he presumed Sir R. Birnle would think there was suffident to warrant a full committal?—Sir R. Bunn replied in the affirmative. Mr. Harmer said be had one request to make on behalf of the prisoner. He bad been in an ill state of health almost from the moment of his apprehension on these charges, and had, indeed, been in the Infirmary the greater pan of the time of his confinement in the House of Correction. and it would be a * vay great indulgence to him to be permitted to go bask there till the Sections. instead of being sent to Newgatc. His comforts would be greater and he would have the benefit of the:attendance of the awe Medical Gen tleman. Mr. Harmer added, that be believed it was the wish of the prisoner to make an observation himself on a subject of consi derable delicacy. The prisoner, advancing to the table, said—" It leas gone abroad that my present situation is owing to an a certain female intimacy, and I wish to take this opportunity of declaring publicly, that there is no foundation whatever for such a supposition. I solemnly de clare that it is not true, and that ray present predicament is owing entirely to =faunae speculations on the Stock Exchange' (The prisoner here produced a written account, in which it was male to appear that he bad lost upwards of 60001. by speculations in the funds or in joint stock shares). Sir •IL Banos—You had better have said nothing. Tou don't know what you ant doing. I cautioned you before, but if you will talk, I must hear you: Prisoner—My only object. Sir, was to clear the character of a Lady who has been most unjustly calumniated. Mr. Lawmid this was all extraneous matter. He had to apply to the Magistrate en another subject. lie understood that Mr. Vickery. the :Governor of the House of Correction, had seised i4?1.300 and upwards from the prisoner and as it was already proved that he bad embattled more than ;1,000 belonging to Messrs. Hoary, it was more diala probable that pan of this money was the prodnarof that embezzlement, and be (Mr. Law) had to request that the 41,300 allelic be impounded, to be dealt with hereafter as the Judges should direct. In a conversed= which Mewed open this, it was explained, that after the prisoner. was first sent to the Howse of Correction, some friends seat hues about £1,500, In the bupe that he would be permitted to make up his deficiencies. Mr. Ticker, took it from him, front a fear That some fellows In the prison might rob him of it, but gore it up again upon his formal demand. The prisoner was hilly commakted a with permission le go to the House of Cerrectiett till trial, „ MARLB. KOH° H4TRIZET. Yesterday the &Were( the hackney chariot, No. 172, in the eat vice of Mr. Smith of flacittriars'-road, appeared to answer the compiaint of R. Martin, Esq. M.P. for beating two horses which be was driving. r Mr. Martin stated, that in Manday he was passing through High-street, &. Giles's, and aw the defendant driving this chariot at a most furious rats; nut miatentod with going along at that dan gerous rote, he Imp loggia* his horses, a very beautiful pair of white animals, in a most violent manner. To do hint justice, Martin said there was a perfect impartiality in the defendant's con duet, for he used his whip with equal violence on both the horses, and while within his (Mr. Martin's) ,kw, 1w could not have in •' frcted less than thirty , to forty. blows, istkleb wealed the sides of ;he poor. animals mom anent. The defendant sold, AA the Atotement of Mr. Martin wag a very exaggerated Ist*/ lb would appeal to hie master, who wav present, for a character as to his humtuity and good conduct while in his service ? Mr. Sinith said, that he really amid not bring himself to be lieve that the defendant had acted with any cruelty to the horses, for he was a very correct, steady, and humane man. Martin persisted that the horses were not only cruelly beat, out that he distinctly aan , the weals upon their fides. l'be Magistrate said that Mr. Martin having so distinctly sworn to the ill-treatment, he had no other alternative but to hne the de fendant, but be_should only,do so in the penalty of 101. in eons*. Tuence of the very good character given of hint by •his magnet; and perhaps for . the same reason, said the Magistrate, Mr. Martin will return his half of the penalty. The defendant was then fined 10s. and 3.. ed. eons; and Mr. Martin returned Ss. to the defendant Qt.TEBN-Kt i f ARIL Just as the Magistrate, W. A. A. Warm, Esq. was leaving the Bench, on Wednesday, a. man of very rvimectable deportmecr; dressed in black, was brought into the Justice-room by Geo?ge Pople, the toffieer, *ho had a short time before apprehended f for defrauding the Dawager Lsdy Ellenhororgh of three Valuable horses. On the accused being plated at the bar, he semnahntsch agitaied, and when asked by the Magistrate his name, address, &e. he said his name was George Tir. Farm, that he' was an ostrich-feather ' manufacturer, and carried on business in Webber-row, Black friars-road. At two o'clock yesterday her Ladyship attended at the °See, before Mr. Netts, but Pople, who bad obtained some chat- as to where the horses were to be found, stated to the laistrate that two men, Ashley and Vincent, had expresse.l a wish to common!. cate oitthey knew of the business, and subsequently informed him that the horses were standing at the Black Prince stables, Key nington, where he bad gone and secured them, and they were thea in his possession. Vincent, one of the win, said, that he.thought it very bard npol him, as be had advanced B erryi £2O on the animals, and would be glad to know bow he was to get it back again ? tlr. WIIIITZ told him that be could only recover it from Berry; of course be could not expect Lady lillenborough to pay him back the seitO. • . A letter was then sent to the Marshal oldie King's Bench, where Berry is ;unlined, requesting him to allow Berry to come forward for further examination ; but the answer returned was, that he mint be removed by Habeas, and suggesting that it *maid be better t hold the examination in the interior of the prison, where every ?C. commodation should be afforded to her Ladyship, and an sparttne:,t provided for the investigation. The Magistrate ordered the two men, Ashley and-Vincent, out of custody, and the prisoner Berry stands committed for re.examinz don on a future day ; but where it will take place is not yet under stood.—Tier Ladyship then retired. A brace of fine woodcocks were shot on Thursday, about seven miles from Exeter. THt TIttAD-miLLs.—At Lewer, each prisoner walks at the rateof 6600 feet in ascent per day; at Ipswich, 7450; at St. Alban's. 8000; at Bury, 8950; At Cam bridge, 10,175 ; at Durham, 12900; at Milton, Guild ford, and Reading, the summer rate needs 15 while at Warwick the sumnier rate will be 17,080 feet in ten hours. _ _ _ Stsniman OCCURRIII:43E.—Tuesciay last, a respect able female passing by a corn-warehouse in Prior's. street, Liverpool, was caught under the chin by the loop of one of the ropes ascending from a cart for ano ther bag of grain, and, by the counterpoising effect of a descending bag from aloft, was hoisted up to a pe rilous height before means could be taken fur her rescue. The warehouseman judiciously stopped the hoisting machine gently, and lowered her into the cart. She was conveyed insensible tO a neighbouring house, but by medical aid recovered her recollection, with little more injury than the bruises produced by the pressure of the rope under each ear. Tuesday, a comic accieent happened in Blackfriars road. A well dressed female going from Rowland Hill's Chapel to the New Cut, was knocked down by a Gentleman riding at a. sharp pace, and supposed to be dangerously hurt. The passengers crowded round the • unlucky horseman, who inquired whether the Laiy was much injured ?—" Oh, yes," said one of the mob, " you have knocked out her teeth. She is in a bad way. `" For GOD'S faker exclaimed the Gentleman, " take her to a surgeon." Upon examination, the Lady did not appear much disturbed. There was no appearance of blood. Her teeth had certainly been knocked cut, and were banging on her face, but they were artificial teeth. Her fall had broken the silver wire by which those ornaments were fastened, and the appearance of one row oat of their proper position occasioned the alarm felt by the passengers. Fortunately for the fair one she was more frightened by the awkward occur rence than injured by coming in contact with the horse, and after a female friend had assisted her to make good, the derangement of her dente: canines. and the other false tenants of her snachoire, she was able , to walk home and dispense with the attendance of a medical man. &se required the dentist only. DEATH most A/mitten—The death of an aged yeoman in the neighbourhood of Carlisle was last week occasioned in the following singular manners—The old man in his youth was- ' , bevel and convivial, but as years accumulated upon him he acquired penurious habits. He had in his possession a stack of very fine • wheat—prices advanced—his heart warmed at tbe de lighted idea—and the longer he kept it, he flattered himself the snore valuable tt• would become. But the things of this world ate perishable. Bats, mice, and whole flocks of birds, made ftee with the stack. How was this to be prevented ? A happy thought suggested itself—he came to the resolutiori of tethering a cat to the roof, with length of line sufficient to admit of her descent on either side, to my up the ravenous intru ders whenever they presented themselves. Pass- her duty with fidelity, as we may presume, for her master rewarded her with regular supplies of milk; one morn ' ing having ascended the roof with ,the accustomed al lowance in a saucer, he missed his footing, and slid off the stack to the ground, and lighting upon Maw, the violence of the shock produced hernias which speedily carried him to his grave. The Pacha of Egypt lately sent the Sultan some par rots, which, having come from Malta, spoke nothing but English; his highness, therefore, sent for an Eng lish renegade, who hadlately turned Turk, to interpret their words. He interpreted them all into compliments towards the Sultan, and by this artifice obtained valu able presents. BIRTH.
