DEATH OF DEMETRIADES. • Saturday se'nnight, in the 70th year of his age, at his lodgings, in St. Peter-le-Bailey, Oxford, Constantine Demetriades, a native of Greece. This •ery extraor dinary character was born in September, 1755, at Nau pactus, now called tnelsea or Lepanto, which gives its name to the Corinthian Gulf. He came to England several years ago, with Lord Elgin, since which he has resided-at Reading and Oxford. He pr dessed to be a teacher of languages, and had, occasionally, a few pupils. He was well acquainted with his own lan . - gu-rge, the modern Greek, and also with Italian.— He was penuriotis in the extreme, and chiefly lived on the contributions of the humane, who pitied his appa rer tip helpless and miserable condition; yet he was in possession of considerable property (upwards of 1000/. in the Bank of England), which he has left to four holy fathers, papas or patriarchs of the Greek Church, with directions that his soul, and the souls of his father and mother, may be prayed for continually during 100 years after his decease. His executor is a Gentle man of respectability at Re•iding, in whose hands he had deposited money for his funeral expenses, which Were not to exceed eight pounds; and also for his oc casional wants, from which fund he drew with great sparingness and compunction, and only when he was unable to draw on the compassion of others. He had a great antipathy to any portrait being taken of him. This was effected, however, some time since, by stratagem; but he consigned all the parties concerned in the contrivance, more particularly the artist, to per dition, and excommunicated them in the names of all the Saiiiti in the Greek Church ; which written excom munication he caused to be exhibited in some of the shops of Oxford. He was about five feet high, always wore a very long brown great coat, closely buttoned, and half boot• : walked rather stoopingly, with a stick, and had a tel blotchy face. Wlien•King JAMES I. ordered Lord SALISBURY.to give 5,0001. to his favourite Rooms Ten, the 'treasurer, who thoug'it it an extravagant present, where there was solittle merit, laid the whole sum in specie on a table, in the room through which his MAJESTY was to pass, sflio, very much astonished at the sight ef such heaps of money, asked him, for what purpose those vast sums were assigned? The Earl told him that he had his MAJESTY'S orders to pay them to Lord ROCHESTER. Oons, man," said the KING," lice a heap o'siller is too much for (My one subject;' and ordered him but half. FATAL. Comtnaticira.—Oa a tornb-st.one in the burying-ground of Church Cretterw, a village in Shrop shut, on th road between Ludlow and Shrewsbury, is this Epitaph :- 44 On a Thursday she was born, On a Thursday made a bride. • On a Thursday put to bed, On a Thursday broke herleg, and • On a Thursday died!" • There was said to have been an old law in Spain, which decreed that if a Gentleman was convicted of even a capital offence,he should be pardoned, on pleading his having bezn intoxicated at the time,he comm. tzed it ; it being supp-issd that any one who burr the character of gentility weuld mere readily suffer death than confess himself capable of committing such a vice: Thursday. was shot on pelt of the estate of the Mar quis of Salisbury, at Hatfield, H..as, with one gun, the prodigious number of 220 pntridges,2o7 of which were actually bagged and produced within tae short space of eight hours. The editor of an American Paper, the ...Salem Observer, , thus apologizes to his readers for the absence of origi- 1 nal articles during the late hot weather :—" The only apology we can offer for the absence of original arti cles in this day's paper, is the excessive heat of the wea ther, which has actually dried up the ink in our stands, and reduced us to such a state of lassitude 45 prevenrs us from ascertaining whether the Wit in our brains has not shared the - satne.fates" WHAT NEXT !—We have heard of eggs, lying upon a slate in the sun. being roasted during the hot weather, in the United States, and the fish in the Rhode-Island ponds, and Pennsylvanian rivers, being boiled fit for the table, but that is nothing in comparison with the effects of the heat at Her kimer. The American. of that place states, that in two gardens •in that s illage apples were plucked from the trees lately, with one si e of them roosted by Me sun, almost to a . pulp.• This isa pretty particular considerable yarn, but it is surpassed by the following story, which is taken fain: a.Niw York paper. " A rca, ectable Gontleman stated, that on*Friday he purchased a basket of eggs in the markets which were placed in one of his pantries i that during' the. hottest part. f the following day, one of the eggs nearest the , top opeasid, and a Chicken hopped out. which may be seen at his house, No. 141.

Saturday morning, 'about half-past eight . .ticktirk, White chape l - road and the numerous etreetathatsbound there,• we eahibwn into the greatest stateerf• by the •inhabitarne -ezperieitcing a mo-t tremendous shock, as if caused by a eolcaeo or an earthquake,. The houses for a considerable distance were deserted ~by their -inluthitanti, -and men, avomen, and • children, were seen running in all directions, underan impression that the world teas at: an end. It was soon ascertained 'that their alarm was produced by the explosion of the factory of Mr. Brock, the artist in fire e elks, at No. 11, Baker's-rilw, Whitechapel-road, neatly opposite the London Hospital. The following partiCulats, re lative to this direful disaster, have just rerched us i Mr. Stock has resided for..the last five . )eats Baker's row, and at the back of his dwellieg house is his re 'pository fra- fit e-works, where they are manufactured. This builJing is about fifty-five feet by twenty, and contains three magazines, Which are lined eith kid, and would be Ferfectly secure from fire, should it occur on any of the adjoining premises. In these receptacles were deposited all the powder, composition, and, in fact. all the combustible ma ter, and Mr. B. wasae markable for the method he had taken to prevent y accident occurring on his premises. A few weeks since he had taken two boys out of the poor-house to instruct in the art of fi•ework-making, and he kept them chiefly employed in filling and ramming the ewes of the sky rockets, serpents, squibs, &c. The latter part of this stage of the work is done by a funnel, or piece of tin made in the shape of an extinguisher, and a small piece of iron wire, about a foot long, which is use-1 as a ramrod. The small end, or nipple, as it is called,. of the extinguisher, is introduced into one mid of the rocket or squib, and the boys ram the powder and wadding down with the ramrod. Saturday, at the time above stated, Mr. Brock and his arisen lett the factory to go to breakfast, leaving the two -boys en gaged at the werk-board, ramming the sky-rockets. They had scarcely sat down to their meal, when they, as well as the inhabitants around them for some dis. tance, heard a sort of rumbling noise, as if of distant thunder, and the neat moment a tremendous and deaf ening explosion follotved, when the air was illumined with lights of various descriptions, and accompanied by continued reports. The concussion was so great, that the inmates in the different houses %sere shaken in their seats, many of whom. were sitting at their breakfast, and the tables and tea-things were upset and blokes to pieces. The window-frames were all forced out, and the brickbats and materials were flying about in every direction. The roofs of Mr. Brock's manu factory, and the factory of Mr. M‘Devitt, adjoining. were blown a considerable height, and the falling materials did considerabl- mischief. Alter the agita tion had somewhat subsided, an incffry into the cause of the accident took place, when it appeared from the statement of the two boys (who were blown a consider ab.e height and much injured), that they were at work, ramming the rockets, when the ramrod struck against the funnel, and the friction caused a spark, which flew into the bowl of the gunpowder, that stood near them ; this soon exploded, and ran like a train to. - all the other fireworks in.the factory, and at length corionunicatcd to the magazines, which caused the disaster. Mr. Brock, however, declares it could not have arisen in that way, as the nipple of the funnel was.copper, therefore, friction would not cause a spark. 0.. e po •r woman, sister to the beadle, who lives next door to Mr. Brock, was so dreadfully injured by the broken glass, ti.at sl;e lies in the London Hospital without hopes of re-overy. The tellowing houses have been injured by the ex plosion :—ln Baker's-row, Mr. Anderton, butcher ; Plunkett, beadle of Whitechapel ; Prendergast, co.:1- ,dealer ; Livesay, baker. In Princes -street, Mr. Davies, coal-dealer; Kenning, tallow-chandler; Bose ell, iron monger ; Constantine, tailor; Philemon, clothes-deaser; the King's head public•house, at the corner, and about sixty other houses, most of which have their windows demolished horn top to bottom. We are sorry to state *that Mr. Brc ck, who is considered. a most ingenious Artist, is, by this accident, reduced to ruin, .as he was uninsured, not being able to pay the premium required by the Insurance Offices, his business being treble haaardous. His loss is estimated at three hundred pounds, and he has a wife and six children. He states that he had only twenty-eight pounds' weight of powder by him at the time, but the mischief was done by the quantity of fireworks that were on the premises in as unfinished state, and the powder and composition being thus confined was the cause of so much mischief b:ing done. CALICO NTING.- I .IIC. Rochester Republican st a' es, that an establishment for printing calico is about to be established in Troy, New York. It is supposed the buildings and machinery will cost about one million of dollars.. A large manufacturing hou.e in Manchester, (England) is deeply interested in this estabishment. The sale of the large estates of the Marquess of AN oLEsEY, last wee k, at Milborne Port, was by no means numerously attended, and tto greater part of the pro petty is still unsold.. The Clifton Estate was knocked down at 50,0001.; Mr. BRIDGE, the goldsmith, is said to be the purchaser. The Bradt', rd property was .puti up at 45,0001. and the extensive farm of SherbornO Wyke at 13,0001. but neither had bidders. Henry William Younger, of Thatcham, near S:rat ford, a youth of eighteen, was wounded by the dis charge of his brother's gu-, when out shooting on Fri day, and he died yesterday morning, to the inexpressible grief of his family. His btotlor, Faiward, was getting through a hedge, the dog being at the full point in the next field, when his gun.' went off, • and lodged the greater part of its contents in the deceased's side, at a few paces off. A few days ago, as some workmen were pulling down an ancient wall ol St. David's-hill, Exeter, they 'found deposited under a fountain-stone a very curious hronzte medal or counter, about an inch in diameter, and in fine preservation; from the workmanship it ap pears to have been struck at the latter end of the 14th, or the beginning of the 15th century, probably in honour (.1 .

F.IVIAORDIWARY CASK or VIOLATION.-013 Saturday an inquiry took 'place before Mr. Draft, the sitting Magistrate, into the cir cumstaaces of a charge which bad been preferred by a married wo man named White, against a young man named Robert Owlet, for ** fraudulently" violating her person. Thursday Mrs. White came to this once in a state of grief bor dering on despair. She applied for a warrant against the prisoner for a capital offence ; but on stating the particulars of the trance& lion, although it appeared that the violation had been completed. yet, from no resistance .having been made on ber part, the Magis trates thougbt proper to issue a warrant for an assault only. Avis, the officer, brougtithe prisoner from St. George's watch house, and when he was placed at the bar he seemed to be greatly alarmed. He has been recently discharged from a Gentleman 's family. and appears to be about thirty years of age. • ' The complainant and her husband arc young ; they formerly lived in the service of a family at the West end of the town, and re cently commenced business in White Horse-court, Piccadilly, -The complainant was in a state of distraction, and the husband' in tears all the time they were before the Magistrate. Mr. White being sworn, stated that ou Wednesday everting the prisoner, with a coachman of lord Cholmondeley's, and himself, were at a public-house in Shepherd's-market, Oxford-street, drink ing together. They afterwards went to a public-house in Down street, Piccadilly, and there they drank brandy and water till they were in a state of intoxication. About twelve o'clock at night the prisoner said that he was dicked out of his lodgings, and be did not know what be should do fur a bed. He proposed to witness to go to his house, and to skt7 in one of the anus-chain donne the night. Witness agreed to permit him to do so, rather than he should walk the streets all the night. They arrived at the house of the witness An White-horse-covet, Piccadilly, about half-past twelve o'clock,' ' and both sat downand fell asleep. Ac this time the wife of the witness was in hallo the attic. and witness iutestatru to have gone to bed, but by was so overcoute with liquor, that alter be sat down. he did not wake till past four o'clock in the morning. when the pri soner was brought doirti stairs by a lodger ; and if witness had then known what the prisoner bad been guilty of, the consequences would in all probability have beets fatal. Mrs. White sworn—She is the wife of the last witness. About the hour of lour o'clock on Thursday morning last, a person, whom she supposed to be her husband, ent e red h er b e d- room . Sh e spoke to him, and said, " it is late, ?" he made some kind of answer, like a person in liquor, and she supposing him to be intoxi cated, said nu snore to him; be proceeded to undress and got into bed; he was in her bed-room above a quarter of an hour; he did not speak during the tune, but it was at this period that the offenise complained of took place. She believed at the time it was her husband, but accidentally potting her hand on a flannel waistcoat, which her husband was not In the habit of wearing, she instantly started up, and exclaimed, " Good Goo! am I in bed with a strange man?" Upon the prisoner net answering, she jumped out of bed in a state of the most dreadful alarm, and called for the assistance of a lodger. who entered the room and turned the prisoner down stairs. She declared to -Goo that she did nut give the prisoner leave to enter her bed-room; she bad never seen hint iu her life' till she found him in her bed.—(Here the unhappy woman ap peared ready to faint ; and her husband, from whose eyes tears were flowing, said, " We shall never be happy. Mary, any more; if I had caught hint, I know what the consequences would have been.") John Donralson said he was a lodger in the house of Mr. White. About a quarter of an hour before four o'clock on Thursday morn ing, the prisoner entered his bed-room, which is on the same floor as the bed-room of Mr. and Mrs. White, and asked hies which was Mr. White's room ? • fie told him it was the room opposite. About.to enty minutes past four o'clock the same morning; he heard 'Ars. White call for assistance; be went into her hed-room and she said there was a strange. man in her room . H e sat e t h e prisoner dressing himself, and he turned kim out of the room, and' saw him to the bottom of the stairs. Mrs. White did not at that time say the person had been in bed with her, and bad committed the offence he stands charged with. Mr. Deita—At that time you did not teU your husband what had taken place ? Mrs. White—l did rot, Sir; I was in such a state of terror I could not speak to him on the subject; and there were other men presses;. Mr. White—lf I had known at that time, I would hate . Mr. Ds - ae—Say no more, Mr. Whitt ; I can easily conceive that your ret4ings must be in a state of painful irritation. The young woman is au object of your greatest sympathy, and the con duct of the person was wicked in the extreme; he practised a most scandalous deception upon the woman, and deserves the severest punishment. Mr. White and the prisoner were about the same age and site, and dressed alike in brown surtout coats, and striped waistcoats. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said that it was true, as Mr. White had stated, about their taking too much liquor, and that Mr. White agreed to let him sit up by his fireside. Mr. White also informed him that his wife was oat of town. They bah fell asleep, and he (prisoner) awoke about four o'clock, and being tired, he tried t' grope his way to . Mr. White's bedroom,, to lie down for a fear hours. He by mistake entered the lodger's roomy who told him which was Mr. White's room, and he laid himself on the bed, supposing Mr. Whit. was in the bed. He was very drunk, and did not know that anything further teak plane.. Mr. Dyes said, that the prisoner would find that be _had, barn guilty of a senate offence. . . Mr. White said that his wife had been very ill ever since, aid as there was,no chance of their being happy together, be had up his mind to quit the country. • • Mr. Drat stated that, as he was convinced of his wife's inno.' cence, he thought that they might yet be happy. Mrs. White wept, and her husband shook his head and sighed. Mr. Dram told the prisoner that, if he possessed a spark of human fefling, he would feel remorse at the misery be had brought upon the young couple. He ordered hint to find bail, birnaclf in. xpo; and two sureties in £5O each, to answer the ch a r ge o f &sank at the ilassions, and hearai orderesrto sire es hours' notice. • ' • • UNION-HALL. • • Information liras giver; at this mce of the following robberies*:.... - Da.Tbiteolay night between nine acid ten o'clock, the ereruhente et Mr. Edward Owen.. one. of the brethren of Dulwich.
