The deceased, it appeared, lived as laundry-maid in the family of JAWS Monaca, Esq. of Elm-park, and on the night of the 14th ult. during the violent storm of thunder and lightning, was coming with another servant through the yard after work, with a large basket ofwashed linen, when a tremendous clap of thunder, accompanied by continued flashes of lightning, almost immediately over their heads, completely transfixed them, and Cooper immediately sunk to the earth. Surgical aid was pro cured, when it was discovered that her head and face had been struck by the electric fluid ; over the right temple, the hair was burned quite to the roots. The patient seemed to recover strength for three or four days after; she complained frequently of violent pains shooting through the head ; the right eye closed almost immediately after the surgeon's examination, and the other, continuing to lose its perception, became at length totally blind. On Monday the head-ache increased, and notwithstanding the application of blisters, leeches, and cupping, which were severally resorted to, the poor girl expired on Friday last. After a few minutes' con sideration, the Jury returned a verdict —" That the de ceased came by her death in consequence of an inflam mation on the brain, produced by a stroke of electric fire, during a thunder-storm." Deceased was 0017 nineteen years old. WILL OP BONAPARTE. A copy of the Testament of the late Emperor NAPO LION, which is deposited in Doctors' Commons. has just been published. In the preface to this document, it is stated, that not more than two days before NAPOLZON'S death he dictated to Count MONTHOLON the letter to be delivered to Sir HtmsoN Lowe, announcing his decease, leaving a space for the insertion of the day and hour of his dissolution. We give the following extracts from this interesting document: NAPOLIOL This 15th April, 1821, at Longwood, Island of St. Helena.— This is my Testament, or Act of my last Will I die in the Apostolical Roman Religion, in the bosom of which I was born, more than fifty years since. It Is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well. I ha* always had reason to be pleased with my dearest wife, Marie Louise. I retain for her, to my last moment, the most ten ' der sentiments. I beseech her to watch, in order to preserve my son from the snares which yet environ his infancy. I recommend to my son never to forget that he was born a French Prince, and never to allow himself to become an Instru ment in the hands of the triumvirs who oppress the nations of Eu rope. He ought never to fight against France, sr to injure her in any manner : he ought to adopt my moth—" Everything fur the French people." The two unfortunate results of the invasions of France, when she had still so many resources. are to be attributed to the treason of Marmont, Augereau, Talleyrand, and La Fayette. I forgive them —may the posterity of France forgive them like me. I thank my good and most excellent mother, the Cardinal, my brothers Joseph, Lucien, Jerome, Pauline, Caroline, Julie, Hor tense, Catarine, Eugene, for the interest which they have continued to feel for me. I pardon Louis for the libel which he published in 1820: it is replete with false assertions and falsified documents. I disavow the Manuscript of St. Helena," and other works, under the title of Maxima:, Saying:, &c. which persons have been pleased to publish for the last six years. These are not the rules which guided my life. I caused the Duc d'Enghlen to be arrested and tried, because that step was essential to the safety, interest, and honour of the French people, when the Count d'Artois was main taining, by his confession, sixty assassins at Paris. Under similar circumstances, I would act in the same way. I bequeath to my son the boxes, orders, and other articles ; such as my plate, field-bed, saddles, spurs, chapel plate, books, linen, which I have been accustomed to wear and .use, according to the list annexed. It is my wish that this slight bequest may be dear to him, as recalling the memory of a father, of whom the universe will discourse to him. I bequeath to Lady Ho!lard the antique Cameo which Pope Pius VI. gave me at Tolentino. After specifying a number of individuals (principally Officers of the French army) to whom legacies are given, Napoleon proceeds : These sums will be raised from the six millions which I depo sited on leaving Paris in 1815 ; and from the interest at the rate of five per cent. since July, 1815. The account will be settled with the banker by Counts Montholon Bertrand, and Marchand. Whatever that deposit may pr oduce beyond the sum of five mil lion six hundred thousand francs, which have been above disposed of, shall be distributed as a gratuity, amongst the wounded at the battle of Waterloo, and amongst the Officers and soldiers of the bat talion of the Isle of Elba, according to a scale to be determined upon by Montholon, Bertrand, Drouot, Cambrone, and the Sur geon Larrey. These legacies, in case of death, shall be paid to the widows and children ; and iu default of such, shall revert to the bulk of my property. My private domain being my property, of which no French law deprives me that I am aware of, an account of it will be required from the Baron de la Bouillere, the treasurer. thereof; it ought to amount to more than 200,000,000 of franes, namely-1. The port folio containing the savings which I made during fourteen years out of my civil list, which amounted to more than 12,000,000 per an num, if my memory be good. 2. The produce of this port-flilio. 5. The furniture oc my palaces,: such as it was in .1414, including the palaces of Rome, Florence, and Turin. All this •fornituro was purchased with,monies accruing fromlthe Civil List. 4. The pro geed, of my houses in the kingdom of Itily, such as money, plate, jewels, forniture, equipages ; the lccovnts will be rendered by Prince Sugezia and the steward of the brown„Cantpagnoni. • NAPOLEON. ' I bequeath my private domain, one-half to the surviving Office= and soldieri of the French army who have fought since 17921°1815, for the glory and the independence of the nation. The distribution shall be made in proportion to their appointments upon active ser vice. One-half to the towns and districts of Alsace, of Lorrelbe, of Franche Compte, of Burgundy, of the Isle of France, of Cham pagne Forest, Dauphine, which may have suffered by either of the invasions. There shall e previously deducted from this sum one million for the town of Brienne, and one million for that of Meri. I appoint Counts Montholon, Bertrand, and Marchand, the execu tors of my will. This present will, wholly written with my own hand, is signed, and sealed with my own arms. (L. S.) NAPOLEON. My arms, that is to say, my sword, that which I wore at Auster litz, the sabre of Sobiesky, my dagger, my broad sword, my hanger, my two pair of Versailles pistols. My gold travelling box, that of which I made use on the morning of Ulm and of Austerlitz, of Jena, of Eylau ' of Friedland, of the Wand of Lobau, of Moscow, of Montmirail. 'rn this point of view it is my wish tha t: it may be precious in the eyes of my son. (It has been deposited with Count Bertrand since 1814.) I charge Ceuta Bertrand with the care of preserving these objects, and of conveying them to my sun, when be shall attain the age of sixteen years. A number of other articles are also directed to be given to young Napoleon, on his attaining the age of sixteen years. A codicil, dated Longwood, April the 24th, 1821, begins thus:— Out of the settlement of my civil list of Italy, such as money, jewels, plate, linen, equipages, of which the Viceroy is the deposi tory, -and which belonged to me, I dispose of two millions, which I bequeath to my most faithful servants. I hope that, without act ing upon the credit of any account, my son Eugene Napoleon will pay them faithfully. He cannot forget the forty millions which I gave him in Italy, and in the distribution of the inheritance of his mother. Extract from the fourth codicil : This 24th of April, 1821. Longwood. By the dispositions which we have heretofore nude, we have not fulfilled all our obligations, which has decided us to make this *meth codicil. T We bequeath to the son or grandson of Baron Dutheil, Lieuter nant-General of Artillery, and formerly Lord of St. Andre, who commanded the school of Ausonne before the Revolution, the sum of one hundred thousand francs, as a memento of gratitude for the care which that brave . General wok of us when we were Lieute • not and Captain under his orders. To the son or grandson of General Dugomier, who commanded in chief the army of Toulon, the sum of one hundred thousand francs. We under his orders directed that siege, and commanded the artillery : it is a testimonial of remembrance for the marks of esteim, of affection, and of friendship, which that brave and intrepid General gaie to us. We bequeath one hundred thousand francs to the son or grand son of the Deputy of the Convention, Gasparin; representative of the people at the army of Toulon, for having protected and sanc tioned with his authority the plan which we had given, which pio cored the capture of that city, and which was contrary to that sent by the Committee of Public Safety. Gasparin placed us, by his protection, under shelter from the persecution and ignorance of the General Officers who commanded the army before the arrival of my friend Dugomier. We bequeath one hundred thousand francs to the widow, son, or grandson of our Aid-de-Camp Muiron, killed at our side at Ar cola, covering us with his body. A fifth codicil says— " Upon the funds remitted in gold to the Empress Marie Louise, my very dear and well-beloved spouse, at Orleans, in 1214, she re males in my debt two millions, of which I dispose by the present todicil, for the purpose of recompensing my most faithful servants, whom moreover 1 recommend to the protection of my dear Marie Louise." Several persons are then named for various sums—On the batik of the codicil is written ; This is my codicil or act of my last will, the execution of which I recommend to my dearest wife, the Empress Marie Louise. (L. S.) NA POLION. Mr. SINCLAIR sailed horn Dublin at the close of the last week, to,fulfil an engagement in Edinburgh, where be will be joined in a few days, by Miss 'fair. LA, REPORT. COURT OF ICINGI BENCH, JULY 31. GALS V. DALRYMPLE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a Black sailor on board the Vansittart East Indiamaa, against the Captain, to recover a compensation in damages for an assault committed on him. It appeared from the statement made by Mr. GURNEY, with whom was Mr. • Lawn, that the defendant was unfavourably disposed towards the plaintiff on account of his being a man of colour. On the voyage home from China last April, his grog was stopped by some of the Officers, and upon a representation made to the defendant it was restored, bnt he seemed much displeased with the plaintiff, and told him that the first complaint he heard against him, he would punish him severely. Shortly after, the ship fell in with the Wellington, and some of the crew were ordered to row the defendant to the Wellington, to dine on board, and to wait his return in the evening. Owing to some accident the boat became entangled in the bow ropes of the Wellington, and caused some delay in getting alongside. The Captain was much enraged, he abused the men, particularly Gale, whom he knocked down ; and when they got alongside the Vansittart, im mediately ordered him into irons, with others who were drunk; he also kept him in confinement two days, and then gave him two dozen lashes, although one of the men who was really drunk received only a dozen. For the defendant it was urged, that Captain Dal rymple had been seventeen years in the service of the East India Company, and was incapable of committing an act of oppression upon anybody. It was also proved by two of the officers of the Vansittart, the surgeon, carpenter, boatswain, cook, and several of the sailors, and likewise by Captain Blanchard, of the Wellington, that the defendant was quite sober, and that the plain tiff was roaring drunk all night. The officer of the Vansittart who had charge of the watch, said he went to the gangway to receive the Captain on board, and was surprised to see the boat's crew come up from the boat first; Gale was swinging backwards and forwards, and was too drunk to be employed. The Jury, after consulting together two hours and a half, returned a verdict for the defendant. By a letter received _from the sland of Ascension, dated the Slst of May, we hear that the garrison were all well, and Lieutenant AITCHESON, of the Marine Ar tillery, who, on hearing of the late disastrous affair at Cape Coast, had handsomely volunteered his services, was to sail that day, with a detachment of that corps, on board his Majesty's sloop VICTOR, Captain SCOTT, for Cape Coast. Letters received from our squadron off Algiers (via Marseilles), dated 4th ult. state that all the bombs, mor tar-vessels, and the Lightning steam-vessel, had arrived from England, and that preparations were making for an attack on Algiers. The Algerines appeared perfectly prepared. It was thought their batteries and defences were under the command of French renegade Officers. The NAIAD having been dispatched before Algiers, to destroy an Algerine brig, lying under the batteries of Bona, Captain SPENCER sent his boats in for that pur pose on the night of the 24th of May, and captured and burnt her. There was not any individual on board.— The batteries mounted 40 guns. FIRE.-.Thursday afternoon, an alarming fire broke ono in the premises occupied by Mr. Tippet, bedstead mannfacturnr, in Merchant -street, Bristol, which at one time threatened destruction to the range of, buildings in a line with it ; but, by the exertions of the neighbours, who were actively employed in throwing water on the fire from buckets previously to the arrival of the en gines, the progress of the flames was arrested. After destroying the back part of the house in which it broke out, and damagin two others, the fire was got under. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WITNESS AT THE PRESENT YORK Assrzes.—About one o'clock on Saturday, the 24th ult. Mr. John Whiteley, a preacher, constable, and publican, of the Star Inn, Sowerby, near Halifax, was roused from his bed by a loud knocking at the front door of his house, when he immediately rose, and throwing up the window of his lodging-room, demanded the cause of the untimely disturbance. The person who had knocked at the door instantly turned towards him, and placing his left hand over a part of his face, said, with a low feigned voice, "Sir, I am a friend, come to tell you an important secret, and that is, I know where the three men now are whom you have been seeking so long ; but if you drop searching altogether, it will be better for you ; and I further tell you, that you may get a larger sum of money if you will not produce the stolen goods at the next York Assizes." Whiteley's only reply was, that he felt disposed to do his duty. The villain in stantly said, " And so do I r and raising his band, in which was a double-barrelled pistol, he instantly fired at Whiteley, who drew back and thus escaped. He immediately called for assistance and pursued the vil lain, but without effect. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUG. Y. The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain last week were mode rate.

Prime dry sam ples of Wheat, as heretofore, are eagerly sought by our Millers, and such have sold on full u good terms as last week ; ►ut as the wea ther continues remarkably favourable for the ensuing harvest, the trade for all descriptions of Wheat, not superfine, is excessively dull, and last week's terms are not maintained. Barley sells very heavily, and the prices are is. per quarter lower. Beans also end so few buyers, that they may be reported ls. per quarter cheaper. The accounts of the Oat crop being very favourable, this article meets very slow sale, but the prices are not altered, as the quantity now in the market is not considerable. There is scarcely aay trade for Flour, except such as Is fresh made. icrs & on so ß g e n ane,s s : ni ews r mall . , 55, ns.ew4oll.sas. 40s. Wheat it ße vh c i l te (n n e e w w ) :s 4 2 B s. v s.
