The Duke of Mostaisee visited Mr. Hisalasox on Saturday, at the Colonial ate. It appears, from the return of the number of persons committed for criminal offences in England and Wales, that crime .his increased nearly one-third since 1822. In that year the number tommitted was 12,241, and every year It had gone on increasing sill 1827, when the number was 17,921. The commitMents in London and Middlesex bear nearly the aim, proportion. In 1822, they were 2,539, mad, in 1827, 3,381. It is singular enough, how ever, that though the convktiosis in 1827 ezcreded those of 1821 by one-third, being in the proportion a 11,564 to 8,788, the num ber of executions is la the inverse order. In 1821, the number was 114; in 1827,70. The separate returns for London and Meditate give the same result, and show that .the number of capital offences committed in 1821 was much greater thin in any of the last seven years. In London there were t :rested 29 persons in 1821 ; and, in 1827. only 17. The proportion of commitments to convictions le as three to two, being, for the whole kingdom, 99,822 commit aunts, and 68,249 convictions; and, for London and Middleton. 12,815-commitment , , and 12,601 convictiows. One satisfactory conclusion may be drawn from these returns—though the number a closes has increased since 1821, those ohm atrocious description Mee realty decreased.

Friday last the Hunt bad an Almost unprecedented run, both for severity and duration. A capital day was anticipated, ftom its being known that the Stag was a tried good performer. He was uncatted at New Lodge, Winkfieid, and after the usual law the Hounds were laid on, and presently took the scent. The cry was .shrill and melodious, and ' the pace soon selected the horses - from the beginning there was no chance for the "skitters." The Stag fully maintained bis Winer reputation. His best ssep was towards St. Leonard's, right through the woods, returning by the Squirrel at Wilthficld; then back again down the road nearly to the Stag and Hounds at Spittal; right away through Windsor Great Park making towards the Lodge, through his Majesty's gardens; on to Virginia Water, thence in Shrub's Hill, St. Anne's Hill, and Otter- Shaw Park. Up to this period the Stag had kept on at such a rattling pace as to distance all who bad not made up their minds to a.hard day's wosk, !yid got nags that could do it. After doubling about for some time longer, he was- finally captured in Lord King Park, at Ripley, after a tremendous run of three Sours Ind a half. Out of upwards of one hundred Gentlemen, not more than eight or ten were in at thetaking; among them, as usual, was Lord' Mary , borough. was acknowledged to be an unparalleled hard day for, both horses Ad bounds. Several horses weft killed, and all showed " symptoms" of bard work. Sir John Cope's Fos Hounds drew Windsor Park again, by permission, on Tuesday last, but without success.

A young Noble Legislator is reported to have called, three weeks since,; on Mr. HUSKISSON, and inquired " O hat the Test and Corporation business was—whether it was connected with corn or the coloniesr The Secretary is repotted to have replied, 4 , Nen r mind, go down and vote against it." A shocking accident occurred at Bockfastleigh on the evening of the 5(1 inst. Two young men of Brent, , named Perring and LusCombe, being in company with two young women at the former place, engaged in a dispute with a family called Cross man. living near the bridge, at the eastern end of the town; after some time, however, they both ran off on the Ashburton road, leaving their companions behind, and were puree, d by Crossman and his three sons. Perceiving an opening in a hedge a short dis tance from the town, which they naturally expected led inter a field, the young men attempted through this to make their escape; bet unfortunately, the evening being very dark, and they unacquainted with the place, both at the sante moment jumped into a quarry pit upwards of 20 feet deep, where they were afterwards found.by their pursuers in a must deplorable state. They were conveyed back to the town. The injuries sustained by Perring have proved fatal; he lingered until the llth inst. when death terminated his sufferings. Luscoathe was also materially injured, but we are glad to find he is likely to recover. An Inquest was held on the body of the deceased at Brent, by Joseph Gribble, Esq. on Friday last, when, after a most patient and laborious investigation, rendered necessary in consequence of various reports in circulation, stating that the poor fellows had been ill used after they were discovered in the pit, a verdict of Accidental Death was returned, and no circumstance elicited attaching the least blame to the Crossirians.— PlymosisA Journal.

KrougaNarnstss.-4We understand that tbd-carpet-• weavers of Kidderminster have received an unanimous notice from the, manufacturers of that town of a nitre rial reduction in the prices of weaving, to take place to-morrow, the 25th instant: - The reduction is stated to be at least fifteen per cent. on the prices paid to the workmen• thirty or forty years ago, thk only fluctuations which have occurred during that period being an ad• stance during the pressure of the war, and a return in' 1816 to the former list. On.the part of the masters, it is asserted that the measure is rendered necessary: hi the payment of reduced wages for carpet-weaving in the north of England and Scotland; that the imp: sive menu in machinery and materials have placed the trade on a totally different footing from that which it formerly occupied ; and that the weavers, with moderate work, can earn more money than is required fur the suppOrt' of their families, which operates as a temptation. to idleness and drunkenness. The workmen, it is said, db not deny the reasonableness of some reduction ; but assert, that to carry it to the extent proposed would be most urjivt and oppressive.
