No wonder that her cheeks disclose, A blush so crimson, and a skin so fair; England his lent bee loveliest rose, To bleed with France's lilies there! The 22d ultimo, the Archbishop of CANDRAY, enmpanied by the Sous-Prefect, the President of the Civil Tribu nal, the Mayor of the town, the King's Lieutenant, and many per sons of consequence, attended the ceremony of exhuming the re mains of the immor tal Feireunt ' and placing the body in a leaden coffin, which was deposited in the vault under a monument lately erected to his memory. A silver medal was placed in the coffin by the Mayor, Monsieur Burma Hoven, with the Arms of the Town, be a ring the ciste of 1525 . A considerable sum was sub scribed towards this worthy undertaking by the British Often, while they were in garrison in the town, in 151 a.

A Vienna Journal mentions a terrible conflagration as having occurred at the market Village of Assels. in Hungary, by which two hundred and fifty houses were utterly destroyed. An accident,likely to have been attended with serious consequences, on Thursday last bee' Lord Ftrzttor Limnos, second son of his Grace the Duke of Rtcn mono, who is about five years of age; he was running on the beach, at Brighton, under the care of a servant, When he fell with so much violence as to force a small flint, about the size of a cherry stone, into his forehead. Surgical aid was immediately procured, and the stone being extracted, the young Nobleman is recovering. A laughable circumstance occurred, last week at the sale of the machinery of a factory at Batheaston, by Mr. STAFFORD, of Bath. The auctioneer had just con. chided the sale of au article usually Galled “ the devil," and WAS in the act of knocking down the lot, when " the devil," and the whole of the company, automating to nearly sixty persons, were suddenly precipitated to the " shades below," leaving the anchoseer and his clerk hanging by the wheel of a piece of the machi nery. Fortunately, however, no serious injury occurred to any person. Last week a woman, who resided near Wedmore, was taken before J. BA R 'tow, Esq.* Mllistrate of the county, charged with having stolen cider froth a neighbouring farmer. During her examination, the woman wished that GOD would never suffer her to speak again, or let her go home to her family, if she was guilty. The words were scarcely articulated when she fell to the pound speechless l She was immediately conveyed to the inn, where she has since continued in a most dread ful state.—Bath Chroxide. The Amelia, arrived at Liverpool from New Orleans, lost both her,Captain and mate during the passage. When off the Florida Reef, some dolphins were caught, one of which was cooked, and served up at table, with out the cook having taken the precaution to test the presence of poison in the fish, by dipping a silver spoon in the water in which it was boiled. Of this fish the Captain, the mate, and a passenger partook. They were immediately afterwards seized with violent and excruciating pains in the stomach. As soon as they discovered the cause of their illness, they took emetics and powerful purgatives. The passenger, Mr. Geoaoe Drum of New Orleans, was so fortunate as to recover from the effects of the poison ; but both the Captain and tite mate, we lament to state, fell victims to the care lessness of the cook. It is a well-known fact, that the dolphin, when caught on some of the banks or reefs of the West Indies, is frequently poisonous if eaten—just as muscles are sometimes poisonous when.taken on cer tain places. The presence of the poison, we have heard it stated, may be ascertained by dipping a silver spoon into the water in which the fish is boiled. If it disco lours it, it is a proof that the fish is poisonous, and con sequently unfit for' the food of man. Cow tti A CHINA Snov.—Saturday a cow bolted into the shop of an extensive china waiehouse in Exeter, de liberately walking about amongst the multitude of brittle ware by which she was surrounded, and coolly walking out again, without injuring an article.

Con. against the defen-, dant, who pleaded, first, the generalissue; and, secondly, the two statutes of limitation, which respectively re quire that the action should be brought within either six or four years after the commission of the offence. Mr. PHILLIPS opened the pleadings, and Mr. DEN MAN stated the case to theJury.—He observed, that no case of a similar nature had ever occurred in the county of Lincoln, at least within his recollection, and he there fore deemed it necessary to be more than ordinarily ex. plicit in his statement to the Jury. The charge was one of a highly serious nature, against a Clergyman of the Established Church ; and certainly the defendant bad taken a very singular and unprecedented w 4 of rescuing his moral and religious character from the stain which such a charge was calculated to throw upon it. He had not rested his defence upon his innocence, but had preferred a legal security, by a technical re course to the Statutes of Limitation, to the more digni-, fled and certainly more moral ground of his integrity. He would not contend that the defendant's offence had inflicted any poignant misery 'upon his client, or that it had entitled him to call upon a Jury of his coup try for excessive damages; but the verdict of the Jury, in cases of this nature, ought often to be determined by the moral turpitude of the offender, rather than by the actual injury inflictei upon the victim of his guilt. His client, Mr. John, was a most respectable attorney, practising at Penzinsce, in Cornwall. In 1810 he mar ried Miss Grills, the daughter of a Gentleman of good family in the same county, and then a member of the profession of the law. Circumstances, he lamented to say, had induced the parties to separate very soon after their union, and the Lady was liberally provided for by her husband, and placed, with great judgment and pro priety, under the protection of a clergyman, a Mr. Pal mer, then residing on the living of Redburn, in Lincoln. shire. Mr. Palmer afforded the Lady every protection, and bestowed Opon her every attention which her pe culiar situation required, and which his sacred functions had induced the husband to expect at his hands. For three years she had resided in his family, and had been in habitual intercourse with the most respectable families around her. But, unhappily, a servant, whom the Lady 'had brought into Lincolnshire, married a tradesman re siding at Kit ton, in the same county, and Mrs. John thought proper to leave the house of Mr. Palmer, - anclio take up her residence with this newly-married domestic. It was at this house that the Reverend defendant became so intimate with this victim of his criminal designs. It , is not to be supposed that Mt. John, although separated from his wife, could be indifferent to her conduct, or insensible to her dishonour ; but neither anxiety nor sus-1 pinion could be well excited, by the visits, however fre-, ,quent, of a man of the defendant's sacred office, and whose holy functions had been made a passport to the, Lady's society and confidence. He should, he trusted,', prove to the satisfaction of the Jury, that the visits I which the Clergyman had paid to the Lady under pre tence of performing the sacred duties of his profession, had been made the means of accomplishing those de signs, for which his client so justly sought redress be fore a Jury of his countrymen. • • Richard Oxlam, R..q. knew Mr: and Mrs. John in 'eassawaU; . had witnessed their marriage on the 23d of January, 1810; he was thin High Sheriff of the County. John was his Under-Sheriff ; the Lady's father was steward to the Duke of Leeds. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant VAunnAu.—The parties re ,crated three months alter marriage, in conse quence of Mrs. John's presenting her husband with a child, to which he thought he could conscientions4, lay no claim. He never lived with her after this exposure; the marriage took place in January,lBlo, and the Lady was confined in the succeeding March. • Mrs. Margaret Smith, examined by Mr. READER.— The witness lived at Gainsborough ; _ha maiden napie was Green; she accompanied Mrs. John from Cornwall, when she came to reside with Mr.-Palmer, at Redburo, in Lincolnshire; they lived with Mr. Palmer four years; the IfitOSS4 then married, and settled in Kit ton, Lincoln.: shire; Mrs. John came to live with me in September,. 1814; Mr. Weyland, the Clergyman at Redburn, had. Mrs. John at Mr. Palmer's; his visits were very frequent to Mrs. John at my house. He always came oh Wednesday and Saturday, and generally remained about hslf an hour, sometimes he remained nearly . two hours, they were generally in *the sitting-room. A servant, named Ann Smith, always aniweieb*the bell 1 Mr.Weyland sometimes visited the Lad y in the bed-robin, bet this was only when she was too ill to get up ; Amick then the clergyman did not stay above a quarter or half an hour: in general half an hour. They were in general alone. One day witness went "unexpectedly into the bed-room. Mrs. John was ;4411 Saw Mr. Weyland turning himself round by the bed, as if to sit down. Imagined he had been praying; hit dress was disordered ; and his coat was half off his shoulders : it was much his usual way of wearing his coat. I spoke to Mrs. Palmer about it : but I did not cry out 16 shame r as I entered or left the room : Mrs. Palmer said, she thought the clergyman was criminal with the lady : 1 was not of that opinion. The Rev. Mr.W.eyland was married, and he continued his visits to Mrs. John after his marriage, but I never knew him to gO into the bed-room but when the lady said she was ill. She left - my housein 1618. She did not bring -her child into Lincalnshire with her. Mr. John had left the care of her to her father's arrange- 1 ment. She always appeared broken-hearted: and she had requested the assistance of a clergyman in her de votions, upon which Mr. Palmer introduced to her Mr. Weyland, the defendant. She had an objection to go to church, and the defendant used to read psalms, and re ligious tracts to her: and occasionally gave her the sacrament. He was always alone with her, when be was reading this religious tracts. Mrs. Ann Palmer was the widow of the Rev. Me. Palmer, alluded to by the preceding witness; she in troduced the defendant to Mrs. John; in 1815 aria% Margaret Smith pointed out to me the impropriety of •the defendant's attending Mrs. John in her bed-room 1,. she told defendant of it; he admitted the inipropriety of it, and proMised that it should not be repeated. . Mathias Binnes proved the hand-writing of the fol lowing letter, which was put in in evidence : "Mr Dux Sts.,—l have to thank you for your delicacy ilaj loading to Mr. Hasidersley the execution of a painful duty Obi service of a wt4t In this action.) It is In vain fqr me to say. that wish every part of my intercourse with Mrs. John was known to eke whole world. I have been the victim of misapprehessilion, but fear I cannot help myself. Spare me, if possible, the pain of a trial at Lincoln, as I wish to have the business concluded at Londe& Tile damages, of course, with a woman so infamous, will be oily assaing. State this explicitly, in order to satisfy my mind'. I can not but think it hard to be singled out as Mr. John't victim, wilco Smith WAS often heard to declare, that Mr. George Foster was.dia covered in bed with Mrs. John, at nine o'clock in the mortars. To Mr. Buxton, Attorney." -- , • . - 111r .a 'g%: I The witness Smith was called. to_ prove that she 'sever had stated what was asserted in the letter respecting Mr..Foster.--This ended the plaintifrs case. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN contended that the evidence did not afford a shadow of a foundation for the case stated by the plaintiff's Counsel, and that the action was brought merely to facilitate the proceedings of the plaintiff in his efforts to obtain a divorce. The JUDGE commented at considerable length upon the insufficiency of the evidence to support the plaip tiff's ease; and the Jtiry immediately returned 'a verdict for the defendant upon the general issue. OWN CURT. Jobs Tyler, a young fellow O of savage appearance, aged 19, was capitally indicted for assaulting Anne opringden, on the 12th of July last, under the statute of Elia Abet!). The prosecutrix, tho was exceedingly diminutive for her tender age, became convulsed in tears as soon as she recognized the prisoner at the bar. The story of his guilt, which she told in a distinct and sensible man ner, was short, but, aided by the evidence of a surgeon, failed not to bring conviction to every man's mind in the Court. She had been sent through a close with a basket of gooseberries by her mother on the day in question, and the next account which her distracted parents had of her was, when she was brought home to them, wounded and insensible, from the outrages she had received. The prisoner prisoner Made no defence, and the Learned JUDGE having reminded the Jury that in .a case like this, the consent of the party, even if such had been proved, could be no justification of the prisoner's crime, the Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his youth. Chief Justice Bksr said that the recommendation of the Jury should not go unheeded, butlie doubted much whether he could'give it much weight in this case. His Lordship then, in the most solemn manner, adjudged the prisoner to suffer the last punishment of the law, and conjured him at the same time to propitiate by contri,- tion, that BEING who was always ready to receive those who approached him with sincere and contrite hearts. James Wetkerill, aged 21, a chimney-sweeper, stood indicted for the wilful murder of William Berridge, of Brigg, in this county, millwright, on the night of the 22d July last. The prisoner, on being called upon, pleaded guilty, and persisted in this plea so long, that it was with diffi culty he was prevailed upon to put himself on his ttial. , John Lock.—l left Brigg on the 22d of July last, at eight o'clock, to proceed to Wrawby with the deceased. We stopped at a public-house to have some ale, for which the deceased paid, and he had then eleven or twelve shillings remaining in his purse. George Kennington saw a silver watch with the de ceased on the night in question, about half-past eight. Francis Kennington met the deceased half way be tween Wrawby and Brigg, between ten and eleven that night. Deceased, was going towards Brigg. They passed each other, and soon after witness heard the re port of a pistol shot. Thomas Spring saw a dead body laying across the road, with the legs and arms extended, about half-past eleven that night. The distance from Wrawby to Brigg is one mile. He recognised it to be Mr. Berridge. The head was covered with blood, and there were shot holes in the hat. Seth Fowler, a turnpike man, and William Thomp son, were called up by the last witness to pick up the body of a Murdered man, which was stretched across the road. They discovered it to be the body of Mr. Berridge, whose watch and purse had been taken away, and his inside waistcoat pocket turned inside out. Mr. John Bodkin, a surgeon, upon examining the body, found sixteen perforations from shot in the head, and which boa penetrated the brain. Witness extracted ten shot from different parts of the skull and brain. William Hilyard—Keeps a shop at Brigg, and re members selling some shot to the prisoner on the day of the murder. Witness gave part of the same shpt to Dr. Beattie. Dr. Beattie compared the shot extracted from the bead of the deceased with that given to him by the last witness, and be found them to correspond. Had no doubt that the deceased had died of the gun-shot wounds. Dinah Tomlinson—Saw the prisoner within a hundred yards of the deceased, on the road between Wrawby and 'Airigg,.about half-past ten, on the night in question. John Kirby—Knows the prisoner. Saw him at six o'clock, the morning after the murder, burying some thing in the middle of his garden. George Warden went to the spot alluded to by the , last witness, and on diggingfound the barrel of a pistol, and a little further off a stock. The pistol seemed to have been but recentlff diicharged. The pistol was here produced, and identified as the property of the pri soner's brother. John Hayes heard the prisoner say in gaol, 44 Loan have mercy on me l how could I murder that poor man, who never did me any harm r—The prisoner then con fessed the whole murder, and directed the witness where to find the watch and purse of the deceased. He found them as directed. Mr. W. Nicholson swore that the prisonbr had made the following confession to him :—" On the evening of the murder, I parted with a man of the name of Eyre. As soon as he was out of sight, I loaded the pistol, took my station in the footpath, and saw a woman coming. I heard a waggon coming, and concealed myself behind a hedge. The deceased then came up. I let him- pall .without molesting him, but I ran after, and shot him in the back of the head." The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was or dered for execution On Friday next, (this day.) The Hanover Gareite, of the £3d July, contains the following article t—' Various public Journals having of late so frequently spoken of the sending of a corps Of Hanoverian troops to Portugal, we think it our duty to remark, for 'the information of the public, that according to the latest accounts received from the 'kingdom of Portugal, the sending of any corps of-uoopt thither is not thought necessary.! . OYSTEntt.--Yesterday being the day on which oysters are annually introduced to the Metropolis, much pres sure and contention occurred at.Billingsgare Fish-mar ket, where the venders of oysteri Hock from • all parts o,f London and the.environs, to obtain an early supply. M'any serious accidents usually happeO in the struggle to get on board the boats, but on this occasion no injury appears to have been sustained. The. rapidity with Which almost every street,. in and about London, is fur nished with these admired shellfish is really astonish ing. The boats at 13i)lingsgate were not allowed to ►ell before twelve at night, notwithstanding which an abundant supply was . . conveyed to Vauxhall by one o'clock, and the gay votaries of pleasure, on their re. turn from that scene of amusement, found themselves invited to eat of fine oysters, spread upon stalls near the doors of the gardens. . eileo!!'"7V'.l SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday a very curious feat was performed on Blackheath, f • between two Gentlemen holding a high rank in the Army, aided by i • a pony not twelve hands high. The wager was for 300 sovereigns - IA ii and owing to the secrecy preserved between both parties and those few friends who had Interested bets upon the occasion (it being at the early hour of five in the morning), but very few persons were assembled as spectators. Two separate lines of stones of a hundred each, placed a yard apart, were to be picked up amides inter -a . z basket at one extremity of the line by these two Ototletiliar t ace of * *liens wjts to have the assistance of the pony to aid him in accom pgsking the feat in less time than the other • but having to gekoff to ! t pick up the stones, it was stipposed he would lose more time than \ . the speed of his assistant would compensate for ; bets were offered . i by those on the ground at three to two against him. However, to the surprise of those present, the pony enabled his rider to deposit the whole of his hundred stones la the basket before his antagonist had picked up his eighty-ninth.
