GLASGOW, JULY I+. Yesterday, the ercwds that thronged cur Fair were considerable, notwithstanding the rain which fell occa sionally. The merriment in •arious quarters had been kept up to a very late, or rather to an early hoar this morning, but everything pasted a•aay peaceably. Tuesday night, as the Edinburgh night mail was pro ceedia.4 on its jowney to this city, and when about two or three miles advanced on this side of Linlithgow, the guard perceived a horse grazing in a field on the roadside. with the saddle loose imit) dangling by hi, side, and at a short distance came to the body of a man lying on the road, with his neck broken. The body was that of a man of the middle size. The corpse was carried to the nearest Inn, and fr:.m a book upon him, ►t WAS Pound that be had been a traveller in the employ (.1 the house of Doup,las,Call, and Co. but where they live was not as...crtained. Saturday, the 9th ult. David Adam, servant with James Smi h, Esq. of Craigend, went into Alugdock Loch, to bathe. lie had swam about for some time, and was in the act of returning to the spot from which he had set out, when, in a moment, without indicating the least symptom of distress, he sank, and was lost. NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL. --r---r • POItTSSIOUTIL JULY 16. A ConrOtattial was held on board his MAJESTY'S ship VICTORY, at this port, on Monday and the three followinkdays, on Lieutenant JAMES CAMPBELL, late of Lis Majesty's ship TYNE, on the following -charges, wising out of 11:s conduct at the capture of the pirate schooner Saragozana, on the 51st March, 1823:. act.—That the said Lieutenant James Campbell bans a Lieut. of his Slajesty's ship Tyne, and having the command of a pinnace or boat belonging to the ship on the 31st of March, 1823, and being ordered by his Captain, John Edward Wakes'. the Cem mander'of the Tyne, to advance and board the pirate schooner Saragozana, then ab out to be assailed, did not use all possible endea vours to put the said order in execution, but wilfully disobeyed the same, in breach of the 11th Article of War. 2d.—That being such Lieutenant of the Tyne at the attack of the said pirate schooner Saragosaaa, the said Lieutenant James Campbell, did, through cowardice and negligence in time at action with the said pirate 'dower, withdraw and keep back, and did not do his utmost to take and destroy the same, in breach of the 12th Article of War. Ti.e Court having patiently investigated the circum stances, and heard the defence of Lieutenant CAMPBELL, agreed, that the charge of cowardice was not proved against the said Lieutenant Jas CAMYItELI., and did adjudge him to be acquitted thereof ; but that with respect to the first of the said charges, that he did not u-e all possib'e endeavours to put theorders of C4ptain J. EDWARD WALCOTT in execution, but disobeyed the tame ; and with respect to the second of the said charges, that he did keep back, and did not do his utmost to take and destroy the said pirate schooner, which it was his duty to do; had been proved against the said Lieut. JAUES Caairazu.; but, in consideration of circum stances, cloth adjadge him only to be placed at the bot-. torn of the list of Lieutenants, and there to remain for the tcrm of two years from the date hereof. In consequence of the extreme heat of the weather, Covent-Garden Theatre closes for the present season to-morrow evening ; and Drury Lane on Thursday evening. Thete is now no doubt °as to TRELAWNZY having joined the Turks. The following is an extract of a letter (urn the lonian Islands:—" , Have you heard that TRELAWNET has gone over to the Turks with ULYSSES. whose daughter he has married r—Taztaw ney was the friend of Lord BYRON, and many most respectable persons of this metropolis were strongly at tach:d to him. Letters from Chili to the Bth April, state that the proceedings of M.

Spanish vessels shipping rice at Genoa are no longer to pay the six teals vellon per quintal which they for merly paid; but are put in this respect upon the same footing as Sardinian vessels. Samuel Masco, the leader of a desperate gang of pickpockets, who forced property from Mr. Hughes Lee, at Epsom, May 18, was sentenced last Thursday, at Guildford Sessions, to transportation for life. A new three-wheeled carnage has been invented at Bristol, which will travel at the rate of eight miles per hour, and is to be propelled by manual labour from within the vehicle. Wedoesd y, a commercial Gentleman; travelling for a spirit and vinegar firm, in London, whilst bathing in a hot bath, at Mr. Maypee's, at Exmouth, suddenly ex p;red. He had requested the attendant at the expiration of a quarter of an hour to call him, on ding which he was found a corpse. The unfortunate Gentleman had ar: iv ed from London only on the preceding evening. There is no alteration in the state of affairs at Brad• ford. The masters and men continue to meet as u,ual, 15...:t without any approach to settlement of their differ. eaies. The number of petsons out of employment is weekly increasing, as all those who belong to the Union cease to work when they have finished the goods or the won! they had in band at the strike. ItIECIIELMANK.THEGaIt MA N MACHEATH.—The Bre men Ciazelte Las the following article upon the adroit test, &c. of a German robber of the name of Riechel. taann, who was lately apprehended in that town. He is," says the paper in question, " not only a well-in formed, but a very polite man, and truly elegant in his mansgers. His deceptive arts were carried to a rare degree of perfection and finesse. All the authorities with whom he had :o do have, one after another, be come the dupes of this extraordinary being. At last, however, fate has decreed his arrest in this city, after he had made arrangements to be conveyed by a vessel from Hamburgh to the Brazils. Riechelmann was bora at Hildesheim, and is the son of a postmaster. He is so well known by his thievish propensities, that he has been justly called the Carloudie of Germany. He ap pears to possess the necromancy of ancient times ; and' has the art of disguising himielf so effectually as not to be known. When the French were at Bremen, he escaped from prison in the dress of a gendarme. His appearance has frequently been so altered, that the peasants have said he was invisible. The genius of the man is so extremely subtile, that it has been alleged he often went to prison to amuse himself, and to laugh at the Judgei. On board of the vessel which was to have conveyed him to , Brazil, he had hid a considerable quantity of gold, but - no one knew where. He had his passports, his certificates, and all the other documents recesntry for his safety, apparently in the greatest order. It is said i‘e has numerous partisans all along the shores of the 'Weser. The depredations in that quarter, indeed, were so ficquent, that the inhabitants hardly dared to stir out ct their houses in the enuinii," : • - -WITCHCRAFT. . Saturday sv'nnight, a man was "swam for q wizard," at Wickham-Skeith, Suffolk, in the presence of some hundreds cf people !!! The particelars are these : lit that parish lives Isaac StAsbiny, a little spare man, about 67 years old, who obtaias a 4elibood as a huck ster; and hard by his cottage lives a thatcher, whose' wife, unfortunately, is afflicted in mind. In the same palish there hanens to be a farmer whose mind is also occa ionally di:turbeJ. As in former days of gross credulity and ignore ante, some one or other put forth the surmise, tlut these two afflicted persons ate be witched, and Stebbings was spoken of as the gg worker of the misch'ef." Among other things it was said, that the friends of the afflicted worn4n•had recourse to the means recorded.in witchcraft-annals for duetting the. devil's agent, and whilst the fi ying.pan opeiatien was going on at night, Stebbings came dancing up , to the door. In his denial of this circumstance, Stcbbings admitted that he dii once call at his neighbour's with rn.rckarel for sa'e, at four o'clock in the morning, before the family were up, and this admi.ssion was taken to be as much as Ire was likely to mike.— Besides this, the village shoemaker persisted that gine morning, as Stcbbings, passed two or three times before his house, he could not "m ike" his wax—the ingte die:as would neither melt nor mix. Dabbed a wizard beyond all doubt, poor S:ebbiogs, ignorant as his neighbours, and teszed beyond all bearing, proposed at length of himself, the good old-fashioned ordeal of " sink or se i in." The proposal was readily caught at. Time and place w ere agreed on—the following Satur day, at two o'clock, in a large pond called the Grimmer, on Wickham Green. Four men were appointed to walk into the water with him, and the constable of the parish engaged to attend and keep the peace. The sides of the pond were crowded with spectators, men, wc,tnen, and children. Stebbings had on his breeches and shirt, and when the men had walked will] him into the water breast-high, they lifted him up and laid him flat upon his back on the water. Stebbings moved neither hand nor foot, and continued in that position for ten minutes. This was the first trial, and the spectators called out "give him another." • Another trial was accordingly given, for the sante length of time, and with the same result. " Try him again, and dip him under the water," was then the cry. They did so ; one of the four men pressed his chest, and down went his head whilst . up came his heels; in a word he was like a piece of cork in the water. These trials kept the vor old fellow three quarters of an hour in the pond, and he came out " more dead than alive." Still some were not satisfied. Another man, they said, of his age and size, ought to be swam with him. Steb bings agreed even to this, for he was determined to get rid of the imputation, or die. The following Saturday was appointed for the purpose, and a man called Tom Wilden, of Bacton parish, tear by, was named for his companion. The story now got more wind, and hun dreds of people from all the neighbouring parishes at tended to witness the second ordeal. But, in the inter val, the Clergyman of the Parish, and the two Church wardens, had interfered, and the swimmers were kept away, to the no small vexation and disappointment of , the deluded multitude. It is now gravely told, that at the very time Steb bings was swam, the afflicted ,farmer alluded to above; was unusually perturbed : he cried out, " I can see the imps all about me; I must frighten them away with my voice ;" and his delusion and his noise, as Stebbings did not sink, are put down to his account. To com plete the affair, a respectable farmer in a neighbouring parish has been, it is said, to some "cunning man," and learnt to a certainty, that Stebbings is a wizard. The sum of 31. was paid for this intelligence, upon the as:mance that Stebbings should be " killed by inches." On the 9th April, the Sovereign Congress of Mexico decreed, that the tide of Marquis, Count, Knight, and all other noble titles, should be for ever abolished. The great heat of the weather has had a serious effect upon horses within the last few days. On Thursday, a fine mare, carting hay at Skipstooe-upcm-Stour,.Woreestershire, dropped down dead. Friday, the riding horse in a post-chaise, coming through St. Mot's, fell down with his rider, who fortunately was not hurt. W Massy cases, similar to the above, ve occurred In various parts of the Metropolis—particularly In Smithfield, on Friday afternooo, where many poor creatures, frum the continued riding about for spew and sale, seemed ready to drop down. A plan for paying the Greenwich Pensioners in Lon don is about to be adopted by the Admiralty, for the convenience of those residing near town. The journey to Greenwich being attended with much trouble to the sons of Neptune, and liable to those many iri egulari ties by the way, which take place on their being paid so far from town. It is well known - that the whole of the money has often been squandered away before they have even got back to London. The place for future payment, it is said, will be in Crosby-square. Orders have been issued to the Irish Police over the Kingdom to preve:it all party processions. The opi nion of the Attorney and Solicitor-General has been bad by the Government that such processions are illegal. Orders have also been received by the com manding Officers of Yeomanry to prevent any of the individuals of their Corps joining in such processions. A true bill was found at the Gloucester Sessions, one Wednesday, against Samuel Young Griffiths and Wm. l H. Halpin, Proprietor and Editor of the Cheltenhant Chronicle, for an assault on Mr. Judge, Editor of the Cheltenham Journal. The case, it is said, will be re moved by certiorari into the King's Bench, an it is not expected to be tried till March. Thursday, an Inquest was taken at the Duke of Clarence public-house, Rotherhithe, before R. CARTEn i Esq. Coroner for Surrey, on the body of Richard Painter, who met hisdeath by falling down the shaft of the Thames Tunnel. It appeared from the evidence, that about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, the de ceased, who was employed upon the tunnel, whiht walking on the curb of the shalt, slipped and fell to the bottom of the tunnel, a distance of upwards of 50 feet. Both the bones of the deceased's right arm were broken, and he was dreadfully bruised about the head. He lingered until eleven o'clock, when he died. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. APT SuuoLans.—A Lady the other day, speaking of two very fine young children, said they came on rery fast in their leaf sing ; only they had Lot an habit of mistaling one letter jar another. Such a dreld of individual ascendancy exists among the Genoese Clergy, that the Ytesidept or Moderator in theis assemblies is changed once a weds; and when some repairs wtte made in the room where they assern ble, the carpenter having raised the chair of the Mode. rator a few imbes above the rest, this gave such offence, that lie WAS 01 di red to title it down, and rlat.e it on an exact level with the other seat s .—Bali wars 1 mills in the.

Its. by the nest eiening, was about to depart without discharging it. Mewls, in conseqUence, brought back, and being u nable to " raise the' wind," he was sent off to the Compter. Mr. Tinson, the landlord, said he tried very bard to impress upon him an idea of his boundless wealth ; for, under pretence of soliciting his vote and interest for him as a candidate to represent the county of Middlesex in Parliament, he talked of spending X 600,000 to secure his return, and offered to shew him a letter from Sir Francis Burdett: hir. Tinson, how ever, declined looking at the letter. Mr.. Alderman C. SMITH gave the prisoner leave to settle with the landlord, if he could. MARLBOROUGH -STREET . • Ben Burn,the pugilist, and landlord of the Rising Sun, Windmill street, Haymarket, was charged with assaulting Mr. George Henry Palmer, a sporting Gentleman of some notori e ty . The complain ant said be went to the deft tulant's house at the beginning of last week, where he had scarcely taken his seat before a gambling dis pute arose, and he was loaded with abuse. On standin g u p to resent this, Uncl e ' Ben, as he is called by the" Fancy," instantly floored bins with a tremendous blow on the left eye, and on recovering his perpendicular, kicked him into the st rect. mt. defendant said he was first struck with a quart pot by Palmer; the Magistrates ordered him to find bail. HATTON-GARDEN. - - - An elderly man, named James Michael Firman, a translator of shoes, and a fieid preacher, was brought up under a warrant, wherein he was charged with violently beating, and otherwise using his wife and children. Mrs. Firman, who preferred the complaint, stated, that they had formerly kept a respectable shop in the Borriugh, and were in a fair way of making a suitable pro vision for their family ; when, unfortunately, Mr. Firman took up with a set of fellows, styling themselves" Separatists, or Separists and from that nsorhent he became separated from his family and his home, and everything else that bad a just or legitimate claim upon his attention. Mrs. Firman that exhibited at least a score stripes of varied hue, on her arms, hands, face, bosom, &c. Two little girls of tender age were then produced, on whose persoas it was evident that the strap had not been spared. The defendant declined enter ing into any defence, and was ordered to find good bail. Friday being the day which was appointed for the consecration of the New Church of St. Luke, at Nor wo.)d, at an early hour a most respectable assem blage, amongst whom were a great number of La. dies, filled the interior of the building, in order to witness the ceremony. The Church was built by Mr. BEDTORD, in the Corinthian Order of architecture, with a steeple and portico supported by six pillars.— There is but one aisle, with a gallery at either end ; the interior is 100 feet long by GO feet wide between the pilastres, and 36 feet in height. The ceiling is divided into fifteen compartments, with a flower in the centre of each. The tout ensemble is simple and pleasing in its effect, and is also well calculated for bearing. Mr. GEORGE Ett.stax, of Beddingham, has just lost a valuable brood mare, which was bitten about six weeks ago by a dog, supposed to have been in a rabid state. A cow, which was bitten at the same petiod by the above dog, died a short time since, exhibiting pre ciszly the same symptoms as Mr. ELLMAN'S mare, and a very respectable veterinary practitioner, who attended the animals, is decidedly of opinion that they both died of hydrophobia. Manufactures in Ireland are sensibly spreading, not in the North only, but towards the South and West. Coarse cottons from Ireland have, since the repeal of what were stupidly termed the " protecting" duties, found their way to Manchester, from which great centre of wealth and enterprise the Irish, not five years ago, were in fear of being deluged and destroyed ; and as cotton takes up a share of that industry which in the northern counties bad hitherto been confined to linen, so linen itself, thus partly superseded in its ancient seat by a bolder and more ponderous manu facture, sends off its feelers and forerunners into other provinces, where they have struck vigorous root, and have almost universally multiplied and prospered. Thousands of families in Leinster and Munster have taken up the culture of flax, and the preparation of yarn and linen for the market. In many places this new branch of industry has been encouraged and di rected by persons of rank in the country, and authority has thus displayed itself before the people to other purposes than those of coercion. In certain districts the Leghorn straw-plait has been taught by women carefully instructed, and has began already to afford subsistence to the younger female peasants. The rudi ments, moreover, of a - woollen manufacture are visible, though its growth will no doubt be slow. But the object which seems to be most actively and successfully prosecuted is the linen trade, the interests of which, we observe, have been provided for by an Act of Par liament, passed not long before the close of the Session. The main intent of the law in question is apparently to open the trade—to remove restrictions, which used to be looked up to as protections—and to annihilate a long train of stamps and other forms, which were mis called securities, but had only the operation of frauds. WHAT IS THE SUN MADE OF WM4IOIIOI Debating Society, assembled not longer since than the 7th day of July. 1825, the subject of discussion was the cause of light, which the majority attributed to friction, This led them tto enquire respecting the sun, whether it was a body of light or an opaque substance, and it was eventually decided that, it was entirely composed of Lluminous matter. " What, then, ,is the sun made of ? [ for here we have the cause of light." This question Nvent beyond the comprehension of all but an honest cobler from the emerald isle, who had till then sat mute, but now rose, and silenced the whole society by the quaint reply, 66 Friction to be sure." The' Horticultural Society of London, has holey received from New South Vales, a fine healthy hive of native bees. They differ materi ally from the bees of Europe, being infinitely smaller, and, like the Mexican, wholly without stings. The honey which they prodoce is said to be of excellent quality, and is distinguished by a peculiar fragrance ; it is one of the few products of that singular countrywhich serves as food for the natives. The Government of Wirtemberg has just made a valuable acqui ition by the purchase of the Principality of Oclasenhausen and its dependencies. It contains a, market town, 28 villages, and 14 manors, with a,popo lation of 6 258 inhabitants. The revenues are stated at 70,000 florins. It was assigned to Count METTER.. NICH (father of the p! esent Minister of Foreign Affairs), as an indemnity fi r his losses on the other side of the Rhine. The purchase-money is understood to be 1,300,000 florins. George Trqtrord was indicted, at the Huntingdono ahti'e S:ts;ons, for having, on the 20th April last, coml. mined an assault on Elia ibrth Cousins, a child of abo4 e!ever years of age, round guilty, and sentenced t 6 twelve months' confiqement in the county gao!. An Inquest was held on Wednesday, at the Infirmary, t'se body of Mr. Steventon, cabinet-maker, late of ' the Plough, in Shrewsbury, whose d e ath was caused by locked jaw, brought on by a slight wound on his finger from a rusty hoop.
