F. W. HADEN, a C. G. fiord Douglas, and the noble family at Bothwell Cas• le, with that sympathy for suffering humanity by which they are so peculiarly characterised. have sent to the Rev. Mr. Gardiner, i f B )thwell, 251. sterling, to be laid nut in the purchase of coals and clothing for the poor and the unemploLed in, the parish.. lay evening, a are br i out at fiarlingtoa k in the stack-yard of Mr. Thomas-,Rolfe, which in aver; short time consumed the whole of the stacks and premises, the dwelling-house excepted. Friday se 'might, Mrs. Medcalf, wife of Mr. Townley Medcall, viholives in Gerard-street; Liverpool,, with her child, about 16 months old, called at his mother', in Upper Dawson -street, and he called there in the evening. After remaining some time, the child having fallen asleep upon his knee, he took it up stairs, the servant carrying the candle, and, with. her assistance. put it comfortably into a folding bed, leaving its head uncovered. S nietime afterwards, a girl of 15, having occasion to make room for some additional company, (it being a public•bouse,) went into the room where the child lay, and, forgetting the child, turned up the bed, left the company in the room. Shortly afterwards Mrs. hledcalt inquired where. the child was, wept up stairs, and, to her inexpressible grief and agony, found the bed turned up, and the little innocent smothered. A singular piece of cunning was practised upon the Magistrates of Bury, at their sitting on Thursday last. An information had been laid the previous week,against a young man of the Soci, ty of Friends, for letting off fire-works, and a summons was issued tor the attend ance of the supposed culprit, who had been crnvicted of a similar offence on a reamer occasion; bid when the constable was called upon to swear to the person of this offender, three Quakers in outward appearance, dressed so preci.ely alike, as to set his recollection at defiance, stood before him, and as he was unable to point out .4 the real Pare," no conviction ensued. Thursday night, the 16th instant:, ; . abont. eleven o'clock, a fire broke oat on the premise* of Mr, It. T. Moseley, at Somersham, near Cambridge, which con sumed part of a stack of hay. TYPHUS Fevszt..--It cannot he too widely knows,, that nitrous acid gas possesses the property of destroy ing the contagion of typhus fever, and certainty of pre-, venting its spread. By the following simple method,. the gas may be produced at a very trifling espetis;e:' place a little powdered saltpetre in a saucer, awl_ pour on it as much oil of viuiol as will just cover it; a copious discharge of acid gas will instantly take place, thel quantity of which may be regulated by lessening or in creasing the quantity of the ingredients. A melancholy accident happened on board the Sir William Wallace smack, while in London harbour, last week. The carpenter, C. Clark, standing by the hatch- way, assisting the discharging of the cargo, fell to the bottom of the hold. He was carried tethe Hospital in a shocking state, and died in a short time. He has left a widow and two.chilaren in Leith. Monday last the entrance into Leith harbour present ed a very singular spectacle, there being no fewer than six vessels aground when the tide left. Three large vessels had attempted to enter the harbour on Sunday, but stuck in'tl.e wat6-run; and three smaller ones, in attempting to pass them, went en a sand bank. He that has no fiend and no enemy, is one of the vulgar, and without talents, powers, or energy. In the parish of Tough, last week, as some boys were dislodging a crow's nest, it was found to contain young in a very forward state towards eight t and the same day, one of Mr. Forbes of Denraill's firm servants caught a young snipe, in the strath of Tonly, not fully feathered.

The careless wo man, it appears, left tho Want in such a situation as to enable it to approach the file. which communicated to its clothes, and when she returned, the little innocent was reduced comparatively to a cinder, and survived only a few hours. The Magistrates were busily occupied on Saturday xt Vnion-hall, in the fulther investigation of circum stances relating to the murders at Fetcharn. The era inination was private, and nothing has been suffered to transpire likely to interfere with the ends of public jus tice; but it is understood, that in the course of a few days, public examination will take place. The following is a short analysis of the list Combina tion Act, by which it will be seen, in a concise and corn preb.ensive view, tihat, to avoid its penal enactments, the workmen ought not to do; and what, for the pro fiction of their own interests, they may do : 1. Foicing or attempting . to force any workman to depart from his hiring, before the end of the term for which he has hired—S. To return any work in an unfinished state—S. Preventing, or endea vouring to prevent, any workman from hiring himself or going to Compelling, or endeavouring to compel, any person to belong to any club or union—S. Or to contribute money, or to pay any fine to any club or union-1. Or tom any contribution or fine because he did not belong to any club or union-7. Or because he did not comply with the rules or orders of anj club or union—lL Forcing, r endeavouring to fence, any master to alter his mode of carrying on his business —f. Forcing, or. endeavouring to force, any master to limit the number of his apprentices-10. Forcing or endeavouring to force, any master to limit the number or description of kis workmen. Any man who shall by " violence, threat, intimida tion, molestation, or obstruction," do, or endeavour to do, any of these ten things, may be sent to the tread mill for any time not exceeding three months.—Work men may have societies or unions, may contribute money for trade purposes, may give that money to whom they please, may contribute towards the main tenance of men who. are out of employment, either from striking, or. from slackness of trade; may have committees and delegates, may snake terms with their employers in every thing with respect to trade, may work or refuse to work with any man or any number, or any description of men, or with apprentices, pro vided they " molest no one, obstruct no one, commit no violence on proFerty or on persons, and neither threaten snot intimidate any one." POLICE INTELLIGENCE: -. m .-. GUILDHALL. Saturday, Arohans Maki, a Jew-vender of ants was charged with the'trick well known by the name of " ringing the changes." A young Gentleman bad purchased a pint of nuts of the prkoner s . and tendered him a sixpence in payment. The prisoner took it into i bis hand, but pretended instantly to return it as a bad one. The one returned was bad enough ; and the complainant, though doubting whether Ist had not been trkkes/, gave the fellow a shilling without l obseivation. This the prisoner put in his pocket; and after fum blingabtint some time, said he had not enough change, and returned loot the shilling be bad received, but another decently covered bad use. The complainant perceived the manmuvre, obtained the assist ' nee of a constable, and on searching the prisoner, the good sixpence he hid first rieeived,erhith was very remarkable from having - been impressed with a wafer stamp, was found in his pocket. The prisoner rested his defence on the shilling having been given by - bins to another fruit dealer standing by his side, by whom the tick must have been played. The complainant denied this statement,and the case was thought too weak to go to a Jury; Abraham was, therefore, discharged with a caution. Charles Wheeler, formerly known to the public as an inspector appointed by Mr. Martin, of Galway, to prevent cruelty to the animals brought for sale to Smithfield-market, appeared before Mr. Alderman A PSLIY, In the character of a complainant against George Bigjershur, a drover, wearing the badge No.-764., for ill treating and cruelly striking below the hock, a bullock in Smith. field, on Monday last. Wheeler seemed much disposed to oraterize, and began to de scribe, In goodly set terms, that he had resumed his old duties in Smithfield-market, under the direction of a few Gentlemen, who were determined that the objects of Mr. Martin's Act shoul d not be lost sight of. Mr. Aidertual Aisurv, however, checked Mm, and desired him to keep cioie to the facts of the case, which appeared to be these— that the defendant wai in charge of an off-dreve (a lot standing in the middle of the way, because there is not room to tie them to the rails), and apparently out of mere wantonness, struck a bullock with savage violence over the hock, using the knobbed end of his stick. Wheeler explained that he had since learnt that the beast bad kicked the. defendant, and therefore the offence was not so wanton as he had suppo-ed when be took out the summons. The drover, in his defence, said that be did not knew he had struck the beast till Mr. Wheeler told him, he was sure ; but be said not a word about the kicking. You are a pretty fellow, said The Alderman ; w►at you have just said is tantamount to admitting that you are so much in the habit of bating the Foot animals, that you strike them without thinking what yeu are about ; that you deal those heavy strokes so uncon sciously that you aie absolutely ignorant, a moment after, that you have struck a blow at all. The drover appealed to Wheeler whethet he had ever had reason to complain of him in the four years past he had seen him in Smith field ? and Wheeler allowed be had nut. As acts of cruelty are so often committed with impunity in the night time, and in the absence of persons disposed to seek some punishment upon the offender, the Alderman felt it his duty when a case was proved before him, to hold up an example, and be there fore Mud the defendant 10s. Wheeler giving his moiety of the penalty to the office poor-box. QUEBN-SQUABS Saturday, a woman, who, from her dress and aprearance. seem ed to move in a highly respectable circle, was charged with being disorderly. A watchman said, he found her intoxicated at about three o'clocli in the morning of that day ; and as the was not able to tithe care of herself, he took her to the watch bowie. . The woman denied the charge of being in liquor, but admitted that the was abroad at three o'clock in the meshing—a time, when she said, the most fashionable people in town were abroid. SW was very nits& agitated, and burst into tears several times. She was fined Sr. and discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET; Tt will be recollected by our readers, theta case- caMeon at Bow street, about two months ago, in which a Mr, Charles Grindell and nthers were charged with a conspiracy, in taking his wife to a pri vate titad.htitiee. Grindell was held to bail, as Was a Mr. Stanton. I . ( lie lute: had engaged Mesiri. Amory and Coles as his solicitors; and one of their clerks, named Gardner, having been sent to give Mrs. Grindell notice of the trial, was violently set on by the Lady, and afterwards sent to the watch-house, as one of the party that. conspired to carry her off. Oa Saturday the charge and counter. charge were heard. Mrs. Grindell declared her absolute conviction that Gardner was one of the party who committed the assault on her nn the 27th of September, and she observed the circumstance Ito air. Grindell the moment she saw him on Friday night: Ms. Webster, the solicitor, she said was another. , air. Coles (Gardner's master) stated a citcomitanee. which, he contended, proved that Mrs. Grindell was mistaken. He hes four- Iteen clerks, and part of their duty is to enter the names of persons makink applications. AU the darks in the latter part of the day of the 27th of September were in Gardner's hand-writing, who. must, therefore, during the hitter part of that day, have been in ' the office. ' Mr. Gardner slated his having gie to May. Chindeill She' seised him hy the cheeks, and scratched his face, and afterwards, give hint in charge. He was taken first to St. was watch house, and afterwards to Bow -street, where he detained an hour. Mrs. Grindell here stamped her foot, and exclaimed, I Said before, and I say now, he was one of them. Sbe denied commit ting any assault on Mr. Gardner. Mr. Grindell also said, he iden tified the young man as one of those who came to his house on the 27th of September. Mrs. Grindell offered to .swear to that.fact. She and Mr. Grindell were then sworn, and Mr. Gardner was in consequence held to bail. While Mr. FITZPATRICK was taking the evidence, Mrs. Grindell said, I will swear that Gardner is one of the pessons who assisted Stinton in handcuffi ng and taking me to the mad-house. They per suaded me they were taking me before a Magisteatis.. Mr. Gardner then gave evidence of the wink, and both parties were held to bail in 1001. each. WORSHIP STREET. Saturday, a case or great hnportance to the interests of masters and journeymen came on for hearing before the Sitting Magistrates, Mr. Twyettan and Mr. Orioaxa. A warrant had been issued at the instance of Messrs. Wilson, Moore s and Robinson, against James Cole, a journeyman in their employ, who was charged with Fawning a piece of velvet, their property" Hearing that the war rant was Out against him, be immediately came to theciace and surrendered. The circumstances of Use case, when explained, ap peared to be the following . : In the month of September, the defendant received materials 'for makitig thirty-twit yards of velvet, and having manufactured it, took it to the warehouse; but on account Of some previously &s -pited account, he refused to deliver his work until his balance of wsges.sitould have been settled; and this not being complied with, he pawned the velvet, and left tin pawnbroker's ticket with his employer's. Mr. Wes, solicitor to the Silk Society. attended fee the com plainants, and having proved the ease on the part of his clients, the defendant was called open for his answer. . He said that duds/ a long life be 'bad never before been placed in such a situation, and would leave his defence with kis witnesses. Wm. Thompson stated, that on Wednesday morning he went with the defendant to the warehouse of his employers, where the defendant tendered the piece of velvet to Mr. Robinson; but said be could not leave it without being paid his wages. Mr. Robinson turned upon his heel, and walked away, saying " Good morning, Sir." The defendant followed, and said, " I will leave it, Mr. Robinson, if you give me your word, as a Gentleman, that I shall be paid;" and getting no answer, they went away. The witness was closely cross-examined by Mr. Coles, to sheer that the money demanded by the defendant was on some fesmer account, and that there was an understanding between hits akd the witness that the work should be pawned if it were not paid. The witness said he knew there had been a disputed account be tween the defendant and his employers, but what he then claimed was for the present work. He admitted that he had heard the de fendant say be would pawn the velvet if they did not pay him; but he said he did not know it was thedefendant's'intentiou when they left the wirehouse. The piece of velvet was produced. It had been pawned with Mr. Sowerby, of Brick-lane, fos 75. (Is. 6d. less than the wages for making,) and Mr. Coles called upon the Magistrates to convict the defendant under the Silk Act, which, for the first offence, subjects the offender to the penalty of 404 or not less than 20f. and, in de- Utak of payment, to an imprisonment of not less than three, nor exceeding six months, in the House of Correction. . . This eiposition of the law appeared to take the defendant and the numerous journeymen who were present completely by surprise. The defendant protested that he thought he was justified in doing as he had done, and would have been sorry to do any thing wrong. Several of the journeymen interceded earnestly for the defendant, who, It appeared, had himself been a m a nuf ac t u r e r, dint's!) nou in r educed circumstances, and had always borne an unblemishet, character. lie had a wife and several children to suppot t. The Mnonraarita lamented that such a 1114111 should have plac4 'himself in his unfottionate situation, hut it could not 1w petntitt.,l that be should take the law Into his own hands, supposing his LIAM% on his employers to be Well founded. Mr. Cules•said he felt it netessary, for the protection of the trade, to call for a conviction, that the journeymen might knob they cou:d net offend against the law with impunity. The defendant was accordingly convicted, and conveyed to the loik-up-rootn, Mr. Robinson baying paid him his amount of wage•, and also redeemed the velvet (rum pkdge. Mr: Cohn shortly afterwards, nu the parrot Mr. Robinson, ap. plied to the Magistrates, laying lhat.the object had been to convince the journeymen of their error as regarded the law to which they were subject ; and that being attained, he prayed that the-conviction might not be signed.—The defendant was accordingly discharged. LA M BETHATREST. Friday, a Mr. Joliffe waited on the Magistrate, to requesta war. rant for the apprehension of name Shirreil and Richard Ftleh i whom he believed were concerned in the stealing the body of h:t wife, from a room in which it was laid, at N o . 3, Glohe-lan, Betfinal.green. Mrs. Juliffe, it appeared, died on Tuesday, body was laid out, in the first floor, on Thursday, and on Fttal..? morning it was gone. Shirred had been heard to observe, that 0. was a good thing Jaffe 's wife was stolen, as there was neither sh, ti nor coffin provided for burying her. A conversation between Filch had elm been overheard, which led Dlr. Mitre to conciliate him to be it party. The Magistrate thought It strange, neither plud nor co6n had been provided. Joliffe—That wa s the fault of the undertaker. The resurrection men, k appeared, gut in by the window • .they took nothing but the body. When the Magi s tr ate was made 4. quainted with the latter circunutance, he refused to interfere, steal. ing a body only being merely a misdemeanor. THAMES POLICE. Charles Tomlin, deputy coal measurer, was charged with having delivered 10 ch.tirons of coals into a barge, on the 9d inst. which, on being measured, were found short 13 bushels. Mr. Woofer (Thomas Jonathan), as clerk to Mr. Harmer, ap peared for the prosecutor. Ur. Wright, Ratelife-cross. The e.ose was fully proved by Mr. Wright, and by several of his servants.-- Toolin said the mistake was accidental ;the chalk marks of a fornw admeasdrement were not rubbed out, and became mixed , those of Mr. Wright. Mr. BRODAIIIIP convicted him in the statutory penalty sod eons, which amounted to 7/. la. • Doyen, Nov. 23.—The account which appesred of the foss of a French fishing-boat and crew, off Dover, is without foundation. Some nets brimming to a Dieppe boat ware picked up at sea, and brought in here, which have this day been reclaimed, and put on board the boat to which they belonged. A few days since Captain P. Rogers, in the sloop Swift, off Oak Neck, bound to New York, three miles froir land, at eight o'clock in the evening, discovereif an dr, hove to and the ox swam alongside. In hoisting him on deck his neck was broke. He proved to be very fat. On arriving at New York, Captain Rogers met the owner in the market ; by whom he was in formed the ox had jumped out of a market boat at eight o'clock the evening before. Consequently he was t*elve hours in the wa►er, and when taken appeared to be in full strength.—American paper, Oct. 45. Friday sennight, as Mr. Kemp, a farmer, was return ing from Colt fair, and riding at a slow pace near Saffron Walden, he was observed to fall from his horse by a person near, who, upon coming up to him, found him quite dead. It appeared that he died from an os. sification of the bean. GRACES OP STYLE.—He that will Witt with preci. sion, energy. and vigour only, may live only with men; but he who wishes for suppleness in his style, for amenity, and for that something which charms and enchants, will, I believe, do very right to live with wo men. When I read that Pericles sactificed every morn• ing to the Graces, what I understand by it is, that every day Pericles breakfasted with Aspasia.—Marmonlei. The current American term " Yankee," was a cant or favourite word with one Jonathan Hastings, a settler, at Cambridge, North America, about the year 1715. The inventor used it to express excellency. F'r in. stance, a " Yankee good horse," or " Yankee cider;" meant an excellent horse, and excellent cider. The stn. dents of a neighbouring college were accustomed to hire horses of Jonathan; their intercourse with him, and his use of the word upon all occasions, led them to adopt it, and they gave hint the name of " Yankee Jonathan." It was dispersed by the collegians through out New England, until it became a settled term of re proach to all New Englanders, and eventually to all North Americans.—The Mirror.
