Orr, , _....sisV PLYMOUTH, DECEMBER 12. The duty of the soldiers belonging to the Bth Regi ment, now in barracks in the Citadel, has been, since the fatal storm of the 231:1 ult. considerably increased, in watching the wrecks, &c. The Officers and men merit the ,:ianks of every one for their exertions. The Right Honourable the Earl Mount Edgcumbe has generously contributed 501. towards the subscrip. tion raising for alleviating the distress of the inhabi tants of Kingsand and Cawsand. We regret to state that Mr. W. W. Winsford, brother to Mr. Winsford, of this town, unfortunately met with an untimely end at Weymouth, his place of residence, on Tuesday, the 23d ult. during the awful storm of that day. The following are the particulars of this melancholy affair :—On the morning of the fatal storm, the deceased was attracted to the road between the Esplanade and the row of . houses facing it by the cries and distresses of a Lady, who resided in a house beyond the Esplanade, near the turnpike, on the beach, close to the sea; the waves were breaking with tremendous vio lence at and near the house; Mr. Winsford then, with a perseverance that reflects credit on his humanity, crossed the narrows and made way to the house, took the Lady from her perilous situation from her window, and conveyed her, enveloped in a blanket, to a place of safety, after which deceased again attempted to return across for the purpose of bringing away from the Lady's house an article of value, and which she was desirous of securing. In this attempt he was unfortunately washed i off the road by a tremendous wave, and driven with great violence into what is termed the back.waters; it was of no avail for any one to attempt to rescue him; indeed, he was not seen after the fatal wave over whelmed him. Notwithstanding the greatest search, the body was not discovered till last Tuesday. Deceased has left a wife and two children, who, with a numerous circle of friends and acquaintance, regret his loss. OPENING OF A MUMMY. Thursday evening last, was unwrapped at the Bris tol Institution, the body of an Egyptian mummy. The case, ssrich was beautifully covered with hieroglyphics, exhibited rather the copper-coloured countenance of a Nubian, than the expanded forehead and wide eye sockets of an Ethiopian. Dr. PRITCHARD, Dr. Gale ria, and Mr. RICHARD SMITH, surgeon, and Mr. Mtt• LER, the curator, were appointed by the Codlmittee to be demonstrators. The upper part of the shell being removed, there arose a peculiar, but not unpleasant odour. The body was remat kably light, and wrapped up in a multitude of folds of cotton cloth, which was stained of a yellowish brown colour. Upon the removal of the circular bandages, there appeared a long wrap per them the chin to the toes, with a double border of blue stripes in front. The innermost layer of cloth was soaked in naphtha, asphalthum, or some bituminous substance, combined probably with natron. The skin was blackened, and the neck and one of the hands had been attacked by a peculiar sort cf coleopterous insect, apparently a dermistis. In otl.er respects, this curious specimen of antiquity was very perfect, indeed, very much mote so, we learn, than usually happens. It was the boy of a (probably young) female. The hands were placed strai 6 h.. upon the thighs, and not, as most fre quently happens, across the bosom. The hair upon the head was perfect, of a brownish auburn colour, short, but not at all wearing the character of a Negro's. The contour of the countenance strengthened the opi nion that the subject belonged to a Province closely bordering upon the confines of Egypt. The coverings of the chest and stomach being removed, exhibited, in high preservation, the heart and lungs, and all the intes tines=-indeed, it did not appear that any part had been removed. Whether the brain had been extracted, was not ascertained ; neither were the teeth examined, as it was thought advisable to subject the head altogether to a more leisurely and minute observation. Dr. PRIT CHARD made many remarks, explanatory of the sub ject. Mr. SMITH then pointed put the difference be tween bodies preserved by direct antiseptics, and those convene? in our cemeteries, by moisture, into the sub stance called adipocere, which differed totally from mummies, although in a high state of preservation. To exemplify this, he exhibited from his Museum several fine specimens, and amongst others, our old acquaint ance, the heart of Master Sheriff YEAMANS, who was executed in Wine-street, by CROMWELL'S Officer, Co lonel FIENNES, on the 30th of May, 1643, and was ex humated in 1814, being quite perfect, after having lost the vital spark 171 years ! Towards the finishing, some Gentlemen expressed a wish that the appearances should be placed upon record, when Mr. SMITH said he would, with great pleasure, undertake to draw up a Memoir, with the assistance of the Gentlemen with whom he was now associated, in which they very cheerfully ac quiesced ; and Dr. PRITCHARD promised to read, be fore the Philosophical and Literary Society, a Paper upon the subject of Mummies, on the 30th of this month. A colliery at Flint took fire about a fortnight since, and still continues burning.—Cambrian. Lieutenant-Governor READY arrived at Prince Ed ward's bland on the 21st October, after a passage of only 28 days. A public dinner was given to him by the inhabitants of Charlotte Town, and everything wore the appearance of general satisfaction. By the accounts' from Halifax, we learn that the remains of the late Governor of Prince Edward's Island, DESIARRES, had been interred on the Ist of November, with military honours..beneath St. George's Church. He died on the 27th October, at the advanced age of 102 years, having entered the army as a Cadet in 1755. A new Church was raising at Sherbrooke, by public subscrip tion amongst the inhabitants. New CANALS IN Hor.LAND.—Some of_our readers are, perhaps, not aware of the anxious attention of the KtNo of the Netherlands to the commercial interests of his subjects. This has been evinced of late years in va rious undertakings, and in none more than in Canals, several of which are conducted on a scale that recals all the enterprise of the Dutch of the 17th century. The New Canal, traversing North Holland fioni the Texel to Amsterdam, and intended to enable large vessels to avoid the shallows of the Zuyder Zee, is now in consi derable forwardness, and there will soon, we understand, be submitted to the States General,•a plan for saving the detour caused by the shallows at the mouth of the Maese, and enabling heavy laden vessels to proceed directly to Rotterdam. This will be accomplished by a Canal, to be cut across the small island of Voorn, so as to lead from Helvoetsluys to the upper parts of the Maese, and enable large vessels to reach Rotterdam by a passage of 16 miles, instead of 50 or 60, as at present. SMITHFIELD CLUB. The dinner on Monday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, having been announced as on the table, whilst the An nual Meeting of the Smithfield Club was engaged in discussion on its affairs, an adjournment thereof neces sarily took place until 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon, at the Tavern ; at which adjourned Meeting, Richard Astley, Esq. was in the Chair. The discussion on the Cow premium at the late Shew was resumed, and at length it was determined that Mr. James Wetherell's cow, mentioned in the head of Class V. was ineligible to be shewn in that class; and that the premium of 15 guineas to be paid, either in plate or in money, was at Mr. Linnell's option. It was determined, for the shew nest year,strictly to confine the first premium for cows to those which have been regularly milked for the dairy; and the conditions of the second• premium were thus settled viz. 10 guineas for cows or heifers, (not spayed) of any description or age, which msy not - be eligible for the preceding class. The bill of conditions and premiums, amounting to 175 guineas, either in plate or money, was settled, and ordered -to be printed and circulated as heretofore; and to the Members, a printed list of the names and addresses of those belonging to the Club, and the state of their several subscriptions, was ordered to be added. The Officers of the Club were re elected, with the exception of Mr. William J. Bailey, as the new Steward,.in place of Mr. Champion, who has served his two years. The following eight new Members were elected, viz. Joseph Richards, Esq. Messrs. John Horn, Benjamin Edgington, Thomas Bailey, Wiliam Saxby, -- Chapman, Samuel S. Slater, and W. Watson. The names of 53 eminent breeders, graziers, and butchers of cattle, sheep, and pigs, residing in almost every part of England, but its western and northern extremities, were given in by Members present, and ap proved and arranged by the Meeting, in five several lists, from which the Secretary was directed to procure, as usual, the first six who should consent to act, to be the Judges of the next Shew ; and the Meeting then ad journed to the first day of the next Shew, m the parlour in the :Thew-yard.

Osamu', Esq. of Blythawood, M.P. Wednesday se'nnight, a grand dinner was given by the Earl of LAUDIRDALE, to the Magistrates, Town Council, Bur lesses, and reipectahle inhabitants of Jedburgh. Owing to the sudden indisposition of the Noble Earl, when on his way to Jed burgh, the company was deprived of the pleasure of bis presence, a disappoint•pent much felt at first, but which was soon forgotten in the feelings inspired by the conduct of Lord NIAITLAND, who filled the chair in the absence of his father. Upwards , of lto 53C down to a splendid entertainment. The evening was spent with the ut most harmony and conviviality, and the party separated highly gra tified with the urbanity of the Noble Chairman. St. Petersburgh, on account of its low situation, is very subject to inundations. In the year 1715, all-the bastions and di awbridges were either overwhelmed or carried away by the overflowing of the Neva. An inundation of a very alarming nature took place when Mr. Cox' %, as there, in September, 1777, of which the following account was given in the Journal of St. Pe tersburg's: " In the evening of the 9th, a violent- storm, blowing at first S.W. and afterwards W. raised the Neva and its various branches to so great a height, that at five in the morning the waters poured over their banks, and overflowed the town; but more parti cularly the Vassili, Ostrof, and the island of St. Peters-' burgh. The tot rent rose in several streets to the height of four feet and a half, and overturned, by its rapidity, several buildings and bridges. About seven, the wind shifting to NAV. the flood fell as suddenly ; and at , mid-day, most of the streets which, in the morning, could only be passed in boats, became dry. For a short time, thoriver rose ten feet seven inches above its ordi- nary level." An affair of love, but not of honour, in which the leading vocalist of the Southampton 'cheat) e has played the principal part, at present occupies the attention of the fashionable " gossips" of that rown.-=lt appears that the Gentleman commenced his operations by making love to the governess, in the fond hope of obtaining her advocacy, and through her means an introduction to the young Lady. The governess believed the gallant aimed at the possession of her lovely person ; but when the explanation of his views pointed out her mistress (more likely her fortune, which we understand is about 20,0001.) as the object of his wishes, she was content, as a marketable commodity, to make a regular transfer of her hopes of happiness to the affectionate bosom of her dear friend and mistress. Every argument of per suasive eloquence was employed to " give the thing a character"—his literary acquirements and uncommon personal appearance were argued at length to obtain a favourable opinion. The good teacher protested that " The Sun's bright rays " ne'er shone upon a finer youth, and that her rejection of him would bring down his grey hairs with sorrow to the grave. The young Lady at last yielded her slow consent to an elopement, and the gay Lothatio, in the fulness of his heart, went and " proclaimed it in the market place." The consequence was, that when he attempted to bolt off with her, her father had pat an extra Bolt-on ; and he was left to mourn over his blighted hopesof speculative enterprise, with nothing to console him but the pleasure of paying the hirt of a post-chaise and four. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. NeNtsaatie.—Thansap Campbell, an old Scotchman, of rather venerable appearance, was brought up under the following charge : Mr. Oliphant, a barrister, stated that some time since the pri. soner came to his Chambers, and representing his *tame to be Oli phant, requested that he would give some relief to his namesake. From the plausible story be told. Mr. 0. was induced to give him Ss. 6d. The next day be went to Mr. Campbell, another barrister, and under the same pretence obtained the like sum. Monday, Mr. Oliphant was at his brother's chambers, in Ilatton•court, when the prisoner came in, but observing him, the real Simon Pure, be was completely thrown his guard, aniexclaimed, " Oh, my name is not Oliphant now !" Mr. Oliphant sent for an officer, and he was taken into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said his name was Thomas Oliphant Campbell, and he thought se might use which name he pleased. The 1/41111 MATOR, thinking he had visited several of his name , sakes, remanded him till Friday, when it is expected that more of them wiU be in attendance. GUILDHALL. Ann Irrigkt, the girl whose previous eiamination we noticed yes terday, was again brought up before Mr. Alderman Lucas.—The Magistrate thought the case was abundantly clear, and committed the prisoner for trial. BOW-STREET. EITENSINE ROSSERY AT THE House or MADAMS VISTSIS..—• This fair vocalist suffered a very serious loss on Monday evening, by the daring act of some well practised thief. While she was ab sent at the Theatre, some fellow mounted the area railing of her house, in Stanhope-street, May-fair, and having contrived, with im plements peculiar to his calling, to unfasten the shutters and sash of the parlour window, he mule his way up stairs, to the Lady's dressing-room, and possessed himself of the whole of her . jewellery, with which he got clear off. When Madame Vestris returned home, rather late, she discovered her loss, and of course made it known to her friends. About one o'clock in the morning, a Noble Lord and Mr. F —r, a Gentleman well known in the highest cir cles, drove immediately to Sir RICHARD BIRNIE'S private house, in Bow-street, for the purpose of giving information, and of seeking assistance at the hands of the worthy Chief Magistrate. Sir RICH. Alin, however, had retired to rest, and they were advised by the servant to seek an officer. They found one, and exertions are making to forward the ends of justice, but nothing decisive has yet been done. The thief carried off the entire of Madame Vestris's collection of jewels, which we understand wat very valuable. Yesterday, a rather well-dressed Irishman, of the name of Pa trick Fcrity. was brought before Sir RICHARD Maws, on a war rant issued in Ireland, and backed by Mr. MINSHULL of this office, on a charge of having been a party in a conspiracy, to procure and give falst evidence in the case of Westmeath v. Westmeath. The prisoner was one among many others who gave evidence in sup port of the suit of her Ladyship. In answer to several questions from Sir !bcnAan BIRNIE, he ad-' mitted that he was the person named in Nicholls's warrant, and that be was once a ploughboy in the service of the Noble Marquis. He was told that the offence with which he stood accused was charged to have been committed in Ireland, and that he must be conveyed to that country In custody, unless he could give respon sible and satisfactory bail for his appearance at the next Assizes for the county where he was to be tried. Ile was 'asked if he could procure bail? The prisoner said, he had already given bail upon this charge in Ireland. Sir IL Marne asked him if he had a certificate of that fact ? The prisoner said he had not; it was not usual to- give certifi cates of that kind in Ireland. Sir R. BIRNIt said, he could not take the word of the prisoner as to his having given bail in Ireland, and he must adopt one of the two alternatives before mentioned. Had he applied to any one upon the subject 2—The prisoner said lie had written to the Mar chioness to inform her of his situation. He expressed a wish also to apply to her Ladyship's Proctor.—lle was told that time should be given bins for that purpose, and he was taken away iu custody. *pinion," said Burn, *life is not worth possessing, if a man is to be deprived in this way of the society of his private friends." The Magistrates consulted for a few minutes, and inflicted a M. nalty of la upon the defendant, and he havin g b een fi ned sow time before at this office, this was recorded as a second conviction and a third against him may lead to the forfeiture of his license. Burn, who di d not seen to understand this reasoning, immediately gave notice of appeal, and entered into sureties to try it at the Sessions. .', MARLBOROUG H-STREET. CHANGT Or BIGAMY.—Mr. Angelo Benedict resit/man Italian of very genteel appearance, was examined upon a charge of bigamy. In consequence of informations sworn at this office on Saturday, a warrant was issued fur the appi ehension of Mr. Ventura, and Cle ments, one of the officers of this establishment, was dispatched to execute it in Hertfordshire, whete /Jr. Ventura resides. Having had his warrant hacked by one of the Magistrates of that county, the officer proceeded in a post-chaise to Shrilly-hill, the seat of Mr. Ventura, in that county, and having taken hint into custody, brought him to town, and arrived at this office about 12 o'clock yesterday. Mr. Antal-mug attended for the prosecution, and the substance of the evidence against Mr. Ventura is this :—Mrs. Caroine Bart lett, the complainant in this Case, and who yvas in attendance, and gave evidence, was the widow of a Gentleman of that name, much respected in the county of Hertford, who resided at Shenly-hill, and died there a few years ago, leaving Mrs. Bartlett in the possession of his mansion and entire establishntent at Shenly-hill. In the year I xl9, Mrs. Bartlett happened to be in London, and being passionately fond of music, employed the present Mr. Ventura, then a teacher of the guitar, to give her some lessons, which, after a little time, were changed front lessons of music to lessons of love; the result of which was, that he and Mrs. Bartlett were united in the bands of nut , . rimony, at Mary-la-bonne church, in the sante year; and ever since then, Mr. Ventura had lived and ruled lord para mount at Shenly-hill. Of late, howeve:, it appears that Mr. Ven tura has began to exercise a tight which Mrs. Bartlett, or Mrs. Ventura, did not exactly approve of—namely, that of selling of, and disposing of the whole establishment at Shenly-hill, mangles,' furniture, an, all, worth in the whole upwards of aelo,ooo. the splendid furniture alone being worth X 3,000 of that sum. It hap pened to come to the ears of Mrs. Bartlett, that a private negocia don was actually going on for the disposal of her property; and it also happened to come to her ears that there was a Lady in existence who had a better claim to the person of Mr. Ventura than she had ; and upon proper inquiry she found that both pieces of intelli gence were correct ; the latter, inasmuch as Mr. Ventura had been married before the year 1819, to one Miss Frances Henrietta Col born, a young Irish Lady, whom Mr. Ventura had also lulled into a happy state of matrimony. and charmed to the altar by the sweet tones of his guitar, having been also an instructor to that Lady in music, and with whom he got some considerable fortune. These are as many of the particulars as we could accurately col lect, the Magistrate (Sir Gamine FAARANT) having held the exami nation in kis private room. In order to procure the attendance of the first Mrs. Ventura, her husband was remanded to the House of Correction fur a fu ture examination. Yesterday, Benjamin Buns, the pugilist, and landlord of the Rising Suo public-house, in Windmill-street, appeared to an information, charging him with keeping his house open at unseasonable hours, for the accommodation of other persons than travellep. Burn, in answer to this charge, contended that he was not guilty upon these grounds. He said, that for the last three weeks there has been a gentleman from Cheltenham, who was in town on business, stop ping at his house. This Gentleman not only spends a good deal of money in the house, but also brings a number of respectable persons there, who also spend money, and are good customers. This Gen tleman was about to leave town, on his return to Cheltenham, and before his departure, he (Burn) wished to pay him and his friends some compliment, and accordingly invited them to supper on the night in question. The cloth was first laid for supper in the bar, to which they sat down about eleven o'clock, when the house was ear of customers ; but finding the place too small, they moved the table into the parlour, where they had more room, and there he certainly did entertain his private friends at his own expense; they drank about ten bottles of wine, and remained up until the hour stated by the watchman, but they lade not the slightest noise. As for the charge of card-playing, Burn declared most solemnly that there was put a word of truth in it ; cards were neveOntroduced, spoken, or thought of, as he could prove by the evidence of respectable tradesmen who - were present. He did not receive, nor was he to receive, one farthing for anything that was eaten or drank on the occasion ; he had only done as he thought he had a right to do, as well as any other man, given an entertainment to his private friends at his own expense ; and he could not see why a publican should be debarred the privilege more than any other Gentleman. The wholecharge, he said, was brought forward, as one bad before been by Burridge, the watchman, because he (Burn) does not now M he used formerly, treat him to glasses of rum and gin at any time ' he wished for it. The Magistrates (Mr. Dm and Mr. Conawr) said, leaving the charge of card-playing, which, however, had been distinctly sworn to by two watchmen, altogether out of the question, it was proved and admitted that tbe defendant had persons drinki ng in his house at a most unseasonable hour, who were not travellers, and this was a direct violation of the Act of Parliament. Burn said, that he thought ,it a most hush, extraordinary, and unjust distinction, that a man, because he was a publican, shall not be permitted to entertain a friend like other people; he always thought it was the right of every Englishman to treat a friend itt his own house, and he could not see why he had not as good a right to do so as any Gentleman or Nobleman in the land. tt In my a. UNION-HALL. Monday, the wife of Colonel Bunbury, of the 7th Dragoo n Guards, attended at this Office, on a peace-warrant, charging her with having threatened to horsewhip a young woman named 3tary Grady, in the service of Captain Grainge, at Brixton. Mrs. Bunbuty was accompanied by her sister and a professional Gentleman,. The complainant stated, that the Lady against whom she appe are j had threatened to horsewhip her frequently, and she Was actually i n such dread of the menace being carried into effect, that she *.f under the necessity of applying for a warrant to bind her over keep the peace. A few days ago, she (the complainant) was s; at the door of her master's dwelling, which is neat to that ir.-e nv id by Colonel Sunbury, and that Officer's Lady, seeing with,., ( k m , ran out of her house with a horsewhip in her hand, and hi a rage jumped over some chains, which were above two feet front the ground, and which separate the court-yards in front of the two Lhouscs, and would have beaten her with the whip, had she not in. stantly shut the door on discovering the intention. Indeed, so d,,. ternsined, said the witness, was the Lady to horsewhip her, that on the street-40°r bring closed against her, she made an attempt to g t t in at the parlour-window, and would have succeeded in her object, bad it not been fortunately fastened down at the time. Mrs. Bunbury now claimed the Magistrate's attention. She mitterl that she bad threatened to horsewhip. Captain Grainge's ser vant-maid, for the girl bad vilified and aspersed her character to such a degree at Brixton, that she should be under the necessity of withdrawing from that neighbourhood; neither she ner her sister could go out of their residence without being subject to the most vile and slanderous expressions from the complainant, who sou4lit every opportunity of insulting them. The day on which she was accused of having threatened to use the whip, the girl observing that she (Mrs. Bunbury) was going to town, opened her master's door, and calling after her, made use of epithets which might have been bestowed upon an abandoned woman, and her anger twill; raised to tile highest pitch, she certainly did attempt to give her personal chastisement, by inflicting upon her a few stripes with the whip, in order to prevent a repetition of such conduct in future. Irs. Bunbury, while detailing the above circumstances, suillsed aloud, and declared, that during her life she had never met with such gross behaviour as that which she had received from the complain ant. She was, she said, a " Military woman," had sera service abroad with the Colonel, and she could not brook such horrid scan dal as that circulated by the servant girl all over Brixton to her prejudice, Mrs. Bunbury then called her groom, who stated that he had heard Captain Grainge's servant use language of a very improper nature to his mistress. He had also heard that the complainant spread reports about Brixton, injurious to the character of Ma. Bunbury. Another witness also gave evidence to the same effect. The Magistrate observed that he had heard quite enough of the business, and in discharging the warrant against Mrs. Banbury, he cautioned the complainant not to presume to traduce the character of Mrs. Bunbury again. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, Jas. Mows Leonard was brought before Mr. Twr. roan and Mr. Osmaaas, the presiding Magistrates, for final exami. nation, upon a charge of uttering base coin. Mr. Chippendale, the Solicitor, and Mr. Powell, from the Mint, attended. Mr, Entwistle, proprietor of the Cranes public-house, Hackney, deposed, that some weeks back he took in payment a base halt. crown; his suspicions fell upon the prisoner, and he cautioned his family to beware of him. On the 2d instant, about Bin the morn• ing, he passed on him a bad shilling. In a day or two after, he offered him another, upon which he gave him into the custody of an officer. Joseph Bone, jailer of Rochester, proved that the prisoner was convicted at the Assizes at Rochester, in October, 1822, for a similar ofeucr, and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment ; that he was discharged in October, 1823, and was then tried and known by the name of JaMes Leonard, but was certain the primmer is the same person. —He was committed to take his trial on the capi. tl charge. It appears by the following extract from a letter from Lisbon, dated the Ist instant, that all idea of sending an expedition to Brazil is for the present aban doned: " The expedition which this Government has so long announced as fitting out against Brazil, has ter minated, as I always prophesied and advised you it would. The Minister of Marine has just issued orders for all the ships of war of which it was to have been composed, to be dismantled, except two frigates, the Perola and I'rinceza Real ; two corvettes, the Lealdade and Infante Don Miguel; and two brigs, which are re tained in commission as parda coslas, and to cruise in the Mediterranean ; but it is thought, the Treasury having been completely exhausted by the preparations for this expedition, that even those few ships cannot long be kept in commission." A quantity of gunpowder has been seized in a dealer's shop, at Mountrath, Ireland, by order of the Secretary of State. Some miscreants had entered the Church of Fethard, county of Tipperary, and cut to pieces, with knives, all the Minister's bibles and books, and every prayer•book belonging to the congregation. Several other outrages have been committed its other quarters. During the riots in 1780, a Magistrate being asked why he bad not called upon the passe consitatus? replied, " that lie would have done so, but he knew not his addreas." BIRTHS.
