• FAREWELL TO AUTUMN. i Farewell, lovely Autumn, thy last charm bath faded, Chill Winter approaches, in rude blowing storms; Farewell to the joys which thy short reign pervaded, No more the bright sun-beam the young bosom warms The leaves that bloom'd round me, in sadness are strtaking The path where so fondly I lingered before; Past scenes of enjoyment in sorrow awaking, Which memory whi.pers, for ever are o'er! Life dawns on our youth,• like the Sun when he's rising; We hasten to bask in its soul-cheering ray, And fancy the hopes we so fondly are prizing Will shine through the rest of our sunniest day ; But soon the dark clouds of affliction oppress us, Our hopes die away as the Sun disappears, flow blest then the heart, which securely possesses A sun-beam within that can light all its years! LAIV REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, N0V.17. GARRICK V. LORD CAMDEN. From the protracted life of the relict of the celebrated David Garrick, some of the provisions of his will, executory upon the termination of her life-estate re main unfulfilled. Hugh Bailey, Esq. as executor of Peter Garrick, took upon him the administration of 16,0001.t0 be divided among the children of this testa tor : one-fourth was dne•to Mrs. ?nine, whose creditors gave the trustee notice of her having assigned the greater part of her interest to them. Upon this followed two several motions to restrain the transfer of Mrs. Paine's share of the property. The case having re peatedly engaged the attention of the Court, the only question which remained was the costs of each applica tion? which was finally argued. - The LORD CsiabicatA.oa did not very clearl7 see how Mr. Bailey could be called upon to pay the costs, without more applient proof of his misconduct in exe cuting the duties of bietrust. RX-IPART6 ANNOTTA, BANKRUPTS, WINR.MILRCHANTIL Mr. Mowracio argued for the petitioners, whose cer tificate was opposed by the house of Lanham, creditor to the amount of 72,0001. The LORD CMANCZLLOR, in commenting upon the case, observed, that the law, as it now stood by the provisions of a late Act of Parliament, allowed a sound discretion to the Lord Chancellor to entertain the prayer of asingle creditor in opposition to the certificate. The state of the law, together with the general practice as it stood before, formed a subject of very just complaint. At that time, if creditors to a certain amount signed, the Chancellor must issue the certificate. And this grievance he had himself often felt, at a time when, from the alter ing nature of trade, there were many more bankrupt cies than at present, that in cases of the most profligate and corrupt bankruptcies, those creditors who made the greatest outcry were found. ninety-nine times out of a hundred, to sign first. His Lordship appeared to think that the present case was one peculiarly fit for the exercise of this new discretion which was intrusted to him. These bankrupts had shewn as sets, nine months before the commission, which they valued at 107,000/. Their certificate was signed by cre ditors whose claim amounted to 9,0001. and it was op posed by one creditor whose claim was 72,0001. Un doubtedly he could not allow himself, by granting the certificate, to effect the entire cancellation of so consi derable a debt, while yet those enormous assets, which were said to be in existence nine months before, remained unaccounted for. He would therefore require the peti tioners to make known to the Cow t what had become of those assets, and he would allow them to make any other affidavits which might contribute to the perfect information of the Court as to the reasons why they put this or that particular value upon the several items in that list, whether homes, stock, or other property. WARD IN CIIANCERY••••MARRIRD OR NOT MARRIED WELLER V. WELLER. Mr. Spat:cc mentioned this case again to his Lord ship. He wished to know whether, in the order made by his Lordship a few mornings ago, that the Master should approve a settlement to be made on the young ' Lady, his Lordship did not intend that the Master should previously inquire into the validity of the marriage? LORD CHANCELLOR—CertainIy, I meant thar, Mr. Spence; but I conceive that, whether the Master finds the marriage to be legal or not, the parties ought to be slurried over again. VICE•CIIANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 17. cocime V. WHITING• Mr. JACOB argued the plea iu this cause. It ap peared that the bill was filed by some of the officers of the Elizabeth, a South Sea whaler, against the owners of the ship, to compel pa) ment of the wages due to the plaintiffs under a certain agreement stated in the plead ings. This agreement was made between the Captain on the one part, and the crew on the other: the latter covenanted that they should perform their duties on board the Elizabeth during the voyage she was then about to make; and inconsideration of this, the Captain agreed that they should receive, by way of compensa tion, certain shares of the produce of all oil, whalebone, head -matter, seals, and other animals, which should be taken during the voyage. The agreement contained also a stipulation, that the Captain should alone be re sponsiile to the crew for the shares thus agreed to be paid to them, and that neither the owners nor the cargo should be liable to airy claims in respect of such shares. The ship made her voyage, and re turned to the port of London, where her cargo was disposed of by the owners, who afterwards produced accounts of the profits arising from the voyage, and of the proportions which were due to the crew. Thee propor lions fell short of the expectations of the seamen, and a bill was filed, charging that the accounts were untrue, that the produce of the voyage was more profitable than it was represented to be by the owners, and that consequently their own shares were larger. To this bill, the owners, the defendants, had.pleaded that the agreement precluded the sailors from all right to sue them, and that if they had any reason to corn. plain, their only remedy should be against the Captain. The Learned Counsel argued at some length in favour of this plea. He contended that the covenant was' binding upon the parties who made it, and that as they had chosen before they began their •oyage to content themselves with the liability of the Captain, they could not now resort to any other remedy. He drew a dis tinction between this covenant and a general covenant not to sue (which Courts of Equity will always relieve against), by urging that the covenant here was limited to one description of persons only, viz. the owners; and that it was therefore like that stipulati!ar which was commonly made when ships were manned by foreign sailors—that they should not sue for wages in any fo reign port, and which the Courts in England had held to be valid. He contended also, that the _plea was good for want of parties. the Captain not being included. The VICII-CHANCELLO - 11, "overruled the plea. He doubted very much, whether the covenant in the agree ment Was one which could be maintained oader any circumstances, but in the case before the Court it had been rescinded by the act of the owners themselves. When the ship came home they took possession of the cargo and made sale of it; after which they drew out accounts, which, as the bill charged, were fraudulent, and as the defendants, by resorting to the plea now argued, did not deny. The plea was as invalid in point of law as of justice, and although everything had been said upon it by the Learned Counsel of which it was' capable, it could not be allowed to prevail against the claims of the plaintiff. The owners pretended, that because the sailors made an agreement with the Captain that they would only sue him for their shares of the voyage's produce, they were therefore not entitled to relief against a subsequent fraud. which had been prac tised upon them by persons not parties to that agree ment, but who had obtained possession of the funds out of which it was to be satisfied. His Honour could not listen to any such arguments; bat would compel thel defendants to answer the allegations of the bill. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 17. THE ENO V. WESTWOOD. This was a case respecting the mode of electing cor porate officers in the borough of Wycombe. By the charter, those officers should be elected by the Bur gesses at large ; but by custom existing before the charter, and by a by-law made subsequently, the elec tion has been conducted by the Common Council, or select body of the Burges,ei. Two questions, there fore, arose: first, whether there can be a partial accept ance of a charter? and second, whether, if there can be no such acceptance, a by-law can be made to limit and controul its provisions ? These questions were now argued in the n egative by Mr. Sc.tataTr, and in the affirmative by Mr. TIADAL.--The took time to consider their judgn'hnt. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. 17. The Court sat in ban*, till one o'clock, but up to that hour no case of any interest came on. At one o'clock, the 1..01U1 Cum, JusTics came into Court to sit at Nisi Prigs. There were only two causes entered. The one was settled out of Court, and the other (after the Jury was sworn) was referred. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, NOV. 17. HORTON V. PARSON. This cause was argued some time ago, and stood for judgment this day. The plaintiff filed a bill, alleging that he was entitled to certain tithes on two parcels of land, called Great and Little Park, in the parish of South Wingfield, and praying that an account thereof might be taken. The defendant put in an answer, in which he alleged that he paid an annual stun of 21. in lieu of tithes ort the land in question. The LORD Cuter BARON, on coming into Court, stated, that after having read over all the papers re lating to the came, he was of opinion that the 21. which the defendant annually paid, could only be con sidered as the modus decimaxdi of Little Park. With respect to Great Parlc, be decreed an account to be taken, and granted the plaintiff his costs. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, N0V.16. THE JOHN AND HARRIET.. The Kinc's ADVOCATE! moved to-day for a warrant to arrest this ship in the usual form, in a cause of hot: tornry ; but under the following special circumstances. The John and Harriet, 04) her voyage from London to Havre, sustained some damages, which made it neces sary for her, on her arrival at the latter port, to refit. To defray the cost of these repairs, the Captaiirraised. money on bottomry; but the sum so raised being fonqd, to be insuffioirnt, she took in a freight for Lisbon. That freight also tiiining out to be unequal to the charges incurred at Havre, another bottomry-bond was given, and the vessel was dispatched back thither, in order to be sold. Havre, however, was adjudged to be a port very inexpedient for the purposes of such a sale; and the Captain having raised a further sum on -bottomry of 14,596 francs, in order to cover the two former bonds, the John and Harriet sailed to London, where it was intended that she should be sold. Lord STOwecs. immediately granted the warrant. THE APOLLO. iln this case, the Court was occupied to-day in hear ing Dr. Jean ADDAMS, who, in an elaborate argument, contended that the Court had ho jurisdiction to try the question of damages suggested by the other side ; that upon the evidence, all the aspersions of the two other co•owners upon the character of Mr. Tarbutt were most completely and satisfactorily disproved; and that the court, instead of referring any extraneous question to the Registrar and Merchants, would direct the 3,0001. for which bail had been given to Mr. Tarbutt, to be paid to him out of the registry, into which k bad al ready been brought.—Judgment postponed. The following intelligence is extracted from an India . Gazette of the 10th of June, 1824: " Accounts from KeUiabar, in Assam, dated the 18th ultimo, mention the complete success of an attack made by a detachment, estimating -of one company of the 46th Regiment, and a Russia of irregular horse, tinder the command of Lieutenant Irsaxets TURNOUR liticss.aaason, of the 46th liniment, on a party of _Bur mese troops, who had the temerity to return to the vicinity of Kul liabar, and reoccupy the stockade at Hautbar. It appears that Lieut. Ilicaaansosi sent his infantry to attack the stockade in front, while he very judiciously led the cavalry round the jungle, in rear of the stockade, and took post at the first opening. The brave Bur mese (these fellows were really Burmese) fired a few rounds at the infantry as they advanced towards the stockade, without doing them any harm, and then bidding our men farewell, scampered off into the jungle, making their debut into the plain, at the very open ing where Lieut. RICMAILDIOII had posted his cavalry. Oar fellows dashed at them, and succeeded in sabring about one half of the enemy. including their leader, without any loss on our side. Great praise is given to Lieut. Ricuwansos for his gallant and skilful conduct in this affair.".—Bengal The site for Sir TnostasPlCTON g a monument is now definitively settled, and a number of labourers are em ployed in widening the road near it. The spot fixed upon is the summit of a hill called Penllwyn-y-witch, about 100 yards beyond the western extremity of Car marthen, on the high road, and which commands an extensive prospect in every direction. Two houses at Linstead, near Canterbury. belonging to BARLING, Esq. were entirely burnt down on the evening of the sth of November, set on fire by the dan gerous practice of firing rockets. ANECDOTE Off SIR ROBERT STERLE.—When this gal lant soldier was embarking at Portsmouth, to join the Allied Armies under the Duke of WELLINGTON, lie . met an old comrade in the street, who said, " Well, STEELE. what do you mean to do with the Spaniard., this campaign ?'' "Tobe a Colonel or a corpse before the end of it," was the prlaipt reply. The prediction Was happily realized by his promotion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. mAltstommotisz.' . Abraham Fowler was eaamined a third time, upon the charge of having stolen a. 101. note and frur sovereigns, at .the corner of Queen-street, on Lord Mayor's Day. Mr. Tburlow, a Quaker, stated, dip as he was walking along Cheapside, he was surrounded by a mo 6, and his pocket, containing a 101. Haul of Ergland note and fourteen sovereigns was turned out. He saw his money on the ground and several persons picking it up, hut he could not reach it himself at all, nor could he identify :~. *the - prisoner. An officer, who saw the prisoner going quickly from the spot, apprehended him, and took out of his band a la bank note, and out of his pocket fopr sovereigns. The bank note and the sovereigns were covered with mud. The prisoner said he bad found the note, and that the sovereigns were his own. Mr. Thurlow refused to take his oath that the note was his, but he produced the number of it, and the marks upon it, and af firmed that it was his property. The LORD Maros, who had on a former e x amination men tioned that such refusal was excessively injurious to the ends of justice, then gave the note to Mr. Thorlow, but be did not con sider himself justified in also giving the sovereigns found upon the prisoner to that Gentleman. His Lotdship regretted that he was under the obligation to resign the sovereigns to the prisoner, which as they . could not be identified, could not be disposed of M any other way.—The prisoner was then dischged. BOW-STREET. - - Harry Holt, the pugilist, was charged with committing an assault on sonic persona, named Crane. The complainants went into Holt's house, in Cross-lane, Long ecre on Monday last, having, as they said, been detained in the neighbourjtood to receive some money, when their ears were assailed by very gross language. Holt's friends were playing at cards and dice. A friend of the complainants on entering the room, put his hand on the seat before he sat down, when it broke under him. Holt came into the room, swore at them, and said he would not have his premises destroyed, and or dered them to leave the house. Not doing this so spun as he expected, one of them was dragged out by Holt, and his wife stood before her husband, to protect him from Holt's blows, when they fell upon her, and injured her severely. Holt, in reply, said he denied the charge, and called Handley, an officer of Queen-square, who was in the room at the time the fracas happened. Handley said, that when the seat was broken, which he believed was done by some one standing on it, Holt came-into the room, and remon strated with the complainants, when be received the abusive epithets imputed to Holt, front the elder complainant, whose wife was in the room. The man also put his fist in Holt's face, and de fied him to display his pugilistic powers. Holt was rather dis pleased that he should be thus treated, but be preserved his temper in a *try becoming manner, and desired him to leave his house • the husband refused, and resumed his abuse. Holt then took hold of the man and put him into the street. The wife flew at him and attempted to scratch his face, but her gloves being on, she was unable. This statement was confirmed by another witness, when Mr. Mau observed, that because a man was a pugilist and fol lowed the profession as it was termed, although be was not very partial to it, yet another man was not to put his fist in his face to pro voke him to take an unfair advantage, particulatly the Landlord of a pablic-house ' who, in all probability, was disposed to keep peace in his house. Upon the conflicting testimony he dismissed the case, and directed the complainants to the Sessions, but " no," they re plied,; a they would go to a higher authority with Mr. Holt," and left the Office. Jeremiah esim, driver of the hackney-coach, No. 231, appeared before T. Harts, Esq. yesterday, upon summons, to answer the complaint of Mr. Walbourn, for wilfully driving against and up setting his gig, and thereby damaging his property, and endangering his life. , Mr. Walbourn, we believe, is the Gentleman who so delighted his lieges by the enactment of Dusly Bob, at the Adeiphi Theatre. —lt appeared by his evidence, that being out on Saturday last in his gig, he had occasion to call at the King of Prussia Theatrical Tavern, In Wych-street, and accordingly drew up at the door, close to the curb-stone, when the defendant, this Mr. Jeremiah Quin, who was driving iis coach close behind him, called oat ... ig Are you going on there, you Sapid f" Mr. Walbourn replied that be was not. " Then have your b—y wheel off!" rejoined Jeremiah, and Instantly driving forward against the gig, it was upset, the hinder part of it broken to pieces, and Mr. Walbourn thrown out against a shop window. Mr. W. added, that there was plenty of room for him to have passed without doing this mischief: and his statement was corroborated by a Mr. Ayres, who witnessed it. Jeremiah contented himself with a general denial of the facts al leged he did not say he would have the wheel off ; he did not run against the gig wilfody, and there was not room for him to pass. Mr,Masaa add, he was well aware it was a ammo practice with hackney-coachmen to play off these " larks," as they called them, open persons who happened to be driving lighter vehicles than their own—they thought it *a good joke to upset what they termed a "Johnny Raw ;' but be would see whether this scandalous practice could not be checked. Coadliee 'pas than hoed in the full penalty of al. with costs; and baying paid the money, he was discharged. GUILDHALL. Aim Frothy, a geoteelly-dressed girl, was brought up by her father, a respectable goldsmith, under a charge of misdemeanour, in bombing his windows and ether disorderly conduct. The-father said dfst it was with pain he was obliged to bring his daughter forward, but her conduct was so unruly and turbulent, that he did not know what to do with. her, About a yearnece he had her up before the Magistrates of Hatton-garden, but it bad no effect. She breaks his windows and destroys his tools, pledges his property, and applies the money to her own uses. On Tuesday night she broke his win dows, and used Violence towards bee brother. He had got her several situations, but she has been seat home from all with the most dreadful c haracter. He is suite afraid to go to bed at night lest she should murder them. The Alderman asked if she was of sound mind? The father said he did not *new, be had tocen asked the question by many persons. She was of sufficiently sound mind to do him serious injury.--She was then asked U sbe could pay the damage ? —She said if she could she would not, and she was then sent to the House of Correction. QUERN-AWARE Yesterday, Afead, Reynolds, and Ease", underwent a final exami nation, upon the charge of stealing a ituandty of lead from the powder magazine at Chelsea College. Additional evidence having been gone into,lfload was committed for trial; and the other two were discharged, but ordered to find sureties for their good behaviour; Thaws Latildainga, othestirise Lash, was brought up for ne-exa ininationron a charge of meeting a silver watch from die dweilias blouse of JAae Oman, Prity-ealloW, Pinalico• It appeared that tho pdioner came to the house of the prosecu •triz on Friday afternoon, and told her that his master's washer woman was dead, and as he was last arrived in town, he intended to recommendolsen— , dituben requested to be allowed to dry his Moabite by the Sae. Witness's watch WI bgi gb g over onuitieplem. In a few moments the prisoner suddenly left the loom. taking the watch with him; which was almost immediately missed. A pursuit took place, and the prisoner was apprehende d. The watch was afterwards found in the garden of a Mrs. Fork. • Cooper, an officer of this establishment, proved searching the prisoner, and finding two duplicates, one for a silver watch, the 'other for an umbrella ; also, a gold hair brooch with a heart in the centre, which were ordered to be advertised. The prisoner declined stating with whom he had lived as groom, saying discovery wonld be his ruin. He admitted having a sister, the service of the Countess of Guildford. The prisoner was committed to Newgate. HATTON- GARDEN. Boosuato larricas.—Join Atones, a respectable-looking old man, in a very genteel suit of black clothes, and his arm in- a sling, in consequence of a severe accident, as be stated, was , brougbt up -in _ custay of the cheers of the Mendicity Society, charged with being a professed begging letter-writer, and consequently subject to be punished under the new Vagrant Act. Mr. Walker, one of the Managers of the Society, attended to state the case. He mentioned that a respectable Gentleman, to whom the prisoner had applied for relief, had referred hint to the. Society, and on investigating his case, they had discovered that he been in the habit of circulating his letters for nearly two yean, and receiving very large aunts froni the various Nobility. Upon the Duke of Buccleuch and Lord Gower he imposed continually. Mr. Craven, an upholsterer in Southampton-row, stated, that the prisoner had been in his employment, which he Lad left under the pretence of declining health, but really from an aversion to anything like an industrious occupation. Mr. Craven had relieved the pri soner from time to time until his importunities became exeeisive. The apparently well experienced in pleading, very in genliouesprilylner tended , that his case did not come within the operation of the Act, as he was perfectly well known and acquainted with tall the parties to whom at any time he addressed letters. The Magistrate, however, not conceiving that the intimacy and friendship between bins and the Duke of Bucchruch wasi exactly to the extent he stated, sent hint to &edit with humbler classes of so den for one mouth, at the treed-mill to the H o wie ul Compection. UNION-HALL A Flemish egg-merchant, named Pierre Arrin, was char,-1:1 having committed assaults upon three different Ladki. One of the Ladles Stated, that as she was walking alung Grey; Charlotte -street, the eggrmerchaot came up to her, and without arly kind of ceremony gave her a desperate blow on the eye. Th e t, here eihibited the mark of the blow. which had completely e. 0 63 up the eye, and blackened it. She added, that she gave hin t offeoce, nor had she ever seen the man before in her life. Two other Ladies also proved assaults against the defend ant, htt which were net so severe iu their nkture as that committed up on the tint witness. The Magistrate asked the defendant what he had to state in ha defence? The poor estintrchaat merely shook his ►ead z e d shrugged up his shoulders. He was-then. discharged, upon mi tt the first witness 101. for her black eye, and fos. to each of the eth,, females, together with the expenses. WORSHIP-STREET. Philip Chambers and Elizabetls Loyd, the servants o f m e.: Mullett, the upholsterer, of Finsbuty-house, in custody on a c l am of robbing their employer, and Wet.

Mr. Basin. -- /thrall.* Striven, the approver, in addition to his former evidence,deT ov d Pearson having on one occasion pointed out to him Mr. Al o tk et . .. private mark on a table, and ordered him to erase it. if e stated, that above three months ago, Chambers brought to s i house, in Type -street, three yards of Brussels carpet, in two pi,„ and told him he must give as much as he eoukl possibly afford fa t them, as they belonged to the cook (the prisoner Lloyd), and be gave hint 6s. for them. The next day he brought another piec e e t two yards, for which he gave him 4s. and he afterwards sold then ' all three to Mrs. Pearson. The piece _hat mentioned w.„ f,,„,, 4 in Pearson's house, and is the same which is now produced. li e added, that there were many other articles of every kind delivered to him at various times, from Mr. watehotoies, wiu he ha 4 taken away and sold, the dates and other particulars si which he could nest accurately recal to his recollection. Martha Downie was then sworn, and deposed, that during t last ten months she had been in the habit of attending Se r i ee „ e house almost every day to work as a charwoman. knows Mr. and Mrs. Pearson by sight, and has &egotist!) , seen them z Scriven's house. On one occasion, she saw money pass from Itlr s . Pearson to Striven, but she does not know how much, nor oi l what account it was paid. She saw Mr. Pearson, on one occasion, take away a carpet and a table from Scriven's house. but she does nut recollect any other instance of his taking anything away wit him.—Mr. Brickland, the attorney for the prosecution, said he had no further evidence to offer. Mr. Beware said, there was not be fore him evidence to go to a Jury, touching the prisoner Lloyd, she must therefore be discharged ; the other prisoners he fully com mitted for uiaL-.—Mr. Humphries and Mr. Price, who attend e d for Mr. and Mn. Pearson, applied for an order that several articles of furniture found at Pearsou's house, and removed there, on a supposition of their being the property either of Mr. W. Sadgrove or of Mr. P. Mullett, but to which neither of those Gentlemea had sworn, should be delivered up to Mr. Pearson's family.—Mr. Bastin said, that where there were such strong grounds for pre suming property,found under such circumstances to have been a part of the property carried off from the prosecutor's warehouser, he could not take upon himself to make such an order as was now applied for.--Elizabeth Lloyd was discharged, and the other pri. soners removed from the bar, to be conveyed to Newgate for trial. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday, Captain Via appeared to an information filed against him, for not having a pilot on board, to conduct the brig Ceres. Richard Ross, a pilot, produced his Trinity-house license, and stated, that on the 9th instant he boarded the brig Ceres, and asked for the pilot. The defendant said, be had put him ashore at Black wan. The witneis then produced Isis license, and offered his set.- vices to conduct the vessel, which the defendant refused. 11:c ves sel was lying off Deptford, under weigh. She. came from Leghorn. In reply, the defendant admitted that what had been stated was true, but he bad understood that the owner and Captain had a right to conduct hie own vessel : he was put owner, and Captain of the Ceres. The Magistrate said, the Act of Parliament subjected the de fendant to a penalty of 501. and not less than 201. therefore, as the l ease was pressed against them for a conviction, he was adjudged to pay the mitigated penalty of 201. The defendant then signified his intention to appeal, as he wished to have the question tried. Monday, James Hampton otherwise ! Smith, convicted at the late...Aylesbury Sessions,-for obtaining money un der false pretences of Mr. Sidengham, of Clewer, stud Thomas Galls's!, convicted of stealing several atticles, the property of his master, John Carr. at Newport Fag nell, were removed to Woolwich, on board the Justitia hulk, pursuant to their sentences of transportation for seven years. Thursday last, two little boys, belonging to Calton, went to the Clyde, at Peat Bog, for the purpose of draw ing shinties opt of the water. One of them over-reached himself, and suddenly disappeared in the current. His little companion, who was sitting on the bank, obseir. in he did not re-appear, cried with great simplicity, "Jamie, you'll better come out, and no hide yourser them* bukhe never again rose above the water. The boy then began 40 weep, and ran home and told the parents,- that " Jamie was hiding himself, and wadna come hame." The distracted father dreading what had !rappelled, hagettiid to the spot, and learned the dread ful truth from some persons who had witnessed the ac cident ; but as the child never re-appeared after it fell into the river, no assistance could be rendered. Search was made for the body, but nothing but the bonnet has as yet been found. The child's mother was on the bank while the search was making, and was in a very dis tressed situation. It is said that in Scotland about 2,500,900 acres of land are usually in pasture and hay, and only about 1440,000 acres in wheat. This is surely a great pro portion of animal food to a small portion of wheaten bread. Suppose the former returns ail annual rental of 1,5000,0001. and that of the latter bring 280,0001. a year, it would surely be beueficial to thf landed, manufacturing, and commercial interests of Scotland, to import foreign grain, in order to create a demand for a part of the animal food which is now set) to England. To permit free trade in corn is the sur it mode of settling the differences between the Glasgow operative manufacturers and their employers. The cotton manufactures of Scotland are valued at 7,000,0001. a year. Whether is cotton or wheat of greater importance? BIRTHS. Friday, at Brighton, the Countess Normanton, of a son.
