x THE SAILOR'S FUNERAL, AT SEA. -zoo— FRO%I THZ NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR SEPTEMBER. He is not where his fathers lie, Ile sleeps not where they sleep— His name a wreck of memory,' Ills dwelling-place the deep— Dow:imid unfatliom'd gulfs he lies, And ocean's unveit'd mysteries ! For he is gone where cave and hall With coral garnished, And darkness for their funeral pall, • Receive the ocean dead, 'Where the sea-monsters have their home, But men and sunbeams never come ! Grey was the dawn, and not a braid Curl'd on the billow's brow, While on the deck. the prayer was said And he was cast below, Into the waveless glistening sea That closed above him tranquilly ! SVe watch'd the circle on the wave The dreary plunge had giver, And saw it ss iden o'er his grave, And pass away where heaven ?let the smooth waters' darker blue And blended their ethereal hue! Th:y wrapp'd no shroud his limbs aroun,l, No bier sustain'd his form ; About the corse its bed they bound, Which, oft in calm arid storm, The slumbersr and the dreamer bore, Who now shall dream and wake no more! Sicken'd and sal we tuned away From the sad sight-of gloom; The solitude of sea that day Seem'd but one mighty tomb, Burying all thoughts but thoughts of woe— Asking who neat should plunge below ! OYSTERS. PROM THE MIRROR. " The man had sure a palate covered o'er With brass or steel, that on the rocky shore First broke the nosy cryster's pearly'coat, And lisle(' the living morsel down his throat."—Gar. 13 halo has long been noted for its oysters ; And the ancient Romans, who were extremely fond of-this had their layers or stews for oysters as we have at pt- sent. Sergius Orata was the inventor of them, as early as the time of Lucius Crassus the orator. This country still retains its superiority in oysters over other countries. Most of our coasts produce them naturally, and in such places they are taken by a dredge, which is a ;hick strong net, fastened to three spills of iron, and drawn at the boat's stern over the beds. The principal breeding time of oysters (says Bingley) is in April and May. when they cast their spawn or spats, as the fishermen call them, upon rocks, stones, or shells, or any other hard substance that happens to be near the place where they lie, to which the spats immediately adhere. These, till they obtain their film or crust, are somewhat like a drop of a candle, but are of a greenish hue. The sub stances to which they adhere, of whatever nature, are called cultch. From the spawning time Lill about the _end of July, the oysters are said to be sick, but by the end of August they become perfectly recovered. During these months they are out of season, and are bad eating. This is known, on inspection, by the male having a black and the female a milky substance in the gill. The oyster-fishing of our principal coasts is regulated by a Court tif Admiralty. In the month of May the fisher-. men are allowed to take the oysters,in order to separate the spawn from the cultch, the latter of which is thrown in again to preserve the bed for the future. After this month it is felony to carry away the cultch, and other wise punishable to take any oysters, between whose shells, when closed, a shilling will rattle. Tne reason of the heavy penalty in destroying the cultch is, that when this is taken away, the ouse will in-:, ease, and muscles and cockles will breed on the bed and destroy the oysters, from gradually occupying all the places nn which the spawn should be cast. 'There is likewise some penalty for not treading on, and killing, or throw ing on shore, any star fish (asterias of Linnzus) that happens to be seen. These, when collt.cted in any numbers, are very de.tiuraive to the oyster-beds, in serting their rays, as the shells lie open, and devouring the animds within : The prickly star creeps on with full deceit, To force the oyster from his close retreat. When gapiog lids their widrn'd •oid display, The watchful star thtusts.in a pointed ray, Of all its treasures spoils thd rifled case, And empty shells the sandy hillocks grace !" Oysters are not reckoned proper for thetable till they are about a year and a half old ; so that the brood of one spring are not to be taken for sale till at least the September twelve months afterwards. When younger than these happen to be caught in the dredge, they are always thrown into the sea again. The fishermen know the age of oysters by the broader distances or in terstices among the rounds or rings of the convex-shel'. Gav advises us in our walks to stop and taste this sa ♦onry food, thus: " If where Fleet-ditch with muddy current flows You chance to roam ; where oyster-tubs in rows Are rang'd beside the posts, there stay thy haste, And with the stry'ry fish indulge thy taste : The.damsel's knife the gaping shell commands, While the salt liquor streams between het hands." Nowadays we have an extra stoppage against our will, prefaced with the cry of " Pray remember the grotto—only once a-ziear," and yet it lasts tight or nine months. Such is the rage for building, that it font orddiects rear upon the foot pavement shetly man-lions in souse degree resembling gieuter piles, which are no sooner built than they Gal to their It t 901.: S•e the stripling! how he apes his .sire !" Tuesday sennight, as Robert Wilson, one of the crew of the Craig of Ailza steam boat. was going down •the hap I..dder to the engine house, the heel of his shoe caught one of the steps. and he fell backwards under re of the side levers. which lowered itself o ;thin six inches of the floor. He was heard calling ter help,when the engine was immediately stnpi,ed, an.] assioance tendered. It was too late, as he never Again spoke. GARDE,: RnlsSiltY.—Late on Sundry n.ght, the garden grounds attached to Peterborough House, Chel• sea, wets despoiled of some exquisitely choice froit.

No less than 150 rich reaches 'reveal,' we ) ds found in the dropped sack, with other fruit,: Warren is still oo the look out. • FIELD SPORTS FOR SEPTEMBER. --~•►-•. FROM THZ ANNALS OF SPORTING FOR THIS MONTH. Although, with many, those field sports which mainly depend upon the gun commenced in the last month, it is not until September that the shooter—we mean the term to apply to all fowlers at game—is in full occupa tion. Le)cal difficulties, the comparatively few places in which the birds are found, the absolute toil and un certainty of the sport, p:event many from pursuing the grousV; hut with partridge shooting the case is widely different ; alrno•t all who desire to do so, and are duly qualified. can follow that delightful amusement, and hence the first of September, which we need not id. form our leaders is the day upon which the sport we a►e mention'ng may, by law, commence, is a high day and a holiday with all who delight in seeking those spots where ~ the cowering covey lies ;" and who prefer, to a hie of idleness, or pomp, or business, or, in the words of the song, to ~ scenes of strife, Their faithful dog and gun:" The sun•rhining summer which we have had has bron&ht for us an early, and, we have every reason to believe, a bountiful harvest. The fields have been speedily eased of their golden borthen ; the wheat and barley have been quickly garnered in, so that there w ill be no obstacles, wising from standing corn, to the com mencing partridge shooting at the prescribed perms Bible period. Of the breed uf birds we have, in former numbers, spoken ; in our next we shall, we dare say, be enabled to give an opinion from experience of the validity of our prognostications. Till then, we delay more upon that branch of the subject. We trust, however, that the entreaties of the poet have not been made in vain.— They are these, -- Gentle swains, If chance should lead you to the chosen spot V' het e the shy partridge forms her simple nest, The embryo offspri ng span; and, when your sithe Levels the grassy v.illeys, should your foot Approach the hefpleu brood, step back with care, Nor our fond hopes destroy --." Hares will be found forward, and, from same oppor tunities we have recently had of noting, we think abun dant. In spots, however, whet e there are harriers kept, or coursers, who preserve the birds from the unprincipled plunderer, reside, we trust the fowler will not be greedy for their destruction, but the rather refrain, in most cases, horn levelling his barrels of death at the startled leveret. Nor must the courser or hare.hunter yet think of putting their dogs upon the object of their pursuit; it is too early to run down to the death the little timid animal that will, in another month, if spared, afford them an interest t r profit for the delay and the forbearance. The fineness of the season, as it was propitious to the fowler, so has it forwarded cub-hunting ; an amusement preparatory, as it were, to the more noble field sport of fox hunting, which, in a few weeks afterwards, will follow it. A gold crown-piece of JAMSS IV. of Scotland was fund a few days since, on the grounds of the Hospital founded by that Monarch at Perth. A fine second crop of green peas, grown from the seed of the first, has just been gathered in the garden of Mr. Wakley, of Stockland, Somerset. SUDDEN DEATH.—.-The Abbe PARIS, cure of Havre de Grace, died suddenly in the pulpit on the 26th oh. He was preaching a serm n on death, when he suddenly stopped, said .6 I feel ill, my brethren," and fell back in the pulpit. Before any person could reach him he was no more. He had been cure of Havre 28 years. THE BISHOP (P CALouTTA.—The Right Rev. RE GINALD HEBER was a man not less distinguished as a Scholar and a Di pine, than for the amiable qualities of his heart, his kiety, and his zeal in the cause of his Di r. ine Master. Du►ing the short period he had filled the See of Calcutta, he had unremittingly devoted him self to the most active performance of his sacred func tions, and had proved himself worthy of being the suc cessor of the late Dr. MtnntEron, the first Prelate of our Indian possessions. Dr. HEEEE's loss will be deeply and universally felt throughout the whole of his gigantic diocese, and he will he regretted alike as the pious and zealous bishop of the Christian Church in India, and as the learned and accomplished Gentleman. It will be difficult to select a man so well possessed of the va rious qualities requisite for the Episcopal See of Calcutta as this eminent Divine. Accounts from Port-au-Prince (St. Domingo) to the 17th of July, contain a Decree for raising a National Gutrd, consisting of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, which is immediately to be put in force. There is also a Proclamation respecting the intercourse with other nations and their colonies, but the latter is looked upon with indifference at present, till the final result of the negotiation with England is known, which is reported to be in such a forward state that a vessel of war was expected to Convey the brother of the English Consul to this country with the Treaty. It is stated that great difficulties had occurred its this negotiation, on account of the commercial privileges granted to France, parti cularly their vessels being admitted at one half the duties imposed on the flags of other nations. Monday an inquisition was taken on the body of Mrs. Mucha Trawley, the wife of a shoemaker, residing in Back Chutch-lane, Shoreditch. It appeared, from the evidence of • a Medical Gentleman, and of her husband, that the poor woman, who had been for some time in disposed, died from the effects of excessive fright, occa si9ned by the storm of Friday. Verdict accordingly. FAMILY GnouP.—A loyal banker dropped in upon a painter, to negociate for a family picture. It happened at the memorable epoch of "life and property men," when London was to be thatched with silver and paved with gold. " Well, Sir, your nioAt obedient, mister painter; ' said the squire -banker, looking round. "Sir, yours," returned the painter, bowing low. The hanker was a fine, portly, pompous-looking citizen, a gond subject to Lie 1I jesty, and no bad subject as a sitter, though it happened that he s..t not. " Well, mister painter, Sir, you have some fine pieces here, Sir. Pr ty, Sir—a—what may be the value of that ?" point ing to a whole length it an admiral. "My price for that is two hundred gu:neas." " So !" ejaculated the banker, " a fine, noble looking fellow, 'pots my word—very heroical indeed ! Alt ! mister painter, they are our great wooden walls bull-works. This is the land for such seamen—Old England, hey, Sir—and those who don't like it, why let 'rot leave it : that's my toast, Sir. But to the point. Sir; trig business is to negociate look you, for a large family piece— myself, my wife, and my boys and girls; a fine family, as you shall see, Sir—the s:ime number as his Majesty's, God bless him ! Now, what is your charge fur inch a collection ?—group, I think you painters call it." I c ori,nt exactly answer that—within--5001. or so," replied the painter. " Wheugh-li-b," whistled the banker— "what, Sir, SOU?" " Such a subject requires study, Sir—great studying—as, how." " Pho ! pho! study, mister painter ! true, Sir, but yeti hare not studied Cocker.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. NANSION , HOUSE. BART/Inc/mew ram—Yesterday Mr. Wright, the irontnnngpr of Smithfield, waited upon the Loma MAYOR, and expressed his hopes, that although it was resolved to continue the fair, the former restrictions would not be discontinued. Above all, he hoped th:ir care would bet , ken that every public.house would be shut ty, znd every fiddle in the neighbourhood silenced before 12 o'clock, That, indeed, was one hour too late, and they should not be allowtil to let any one in after 11 o'clock. The Loan Mayon assured Mr. Wright that none of the former restrictions rhouni he relaxed, and that the time sl,nnlJ, as ni;:ci: possible, be abridged. ills Lordship expressed himself fully sen • sible of the evil that was sustained by hoLsekeeper4, and the heads of families in the City, from the fair. Ile U'-is dctern.iiied to do all in his power for their preventi• ^ Ilk Lordship then save di. rectums to Mr. Brown, the Marsh.), ti;iott the subject. Mr. Wright said, be should accomy, any the Marshal and the Officers to aid in pitting an end tc the scene at 1. o'clock. Ile was desirous not merely that the sale of li juor should be prevented after that time, but tlr.t the dances should be stopped. Mr. Brown said, that the officers would go in, ant carry array all the fiddles the) heard after 12 o'clock. The LORD 11.1symt said, he hoped that they should this year be spared the mockery of a printed proclamation against shows and in. terludes, at the very time the Corporation r...evived heavy tolls from the proprietors of the booths elected for the performa.ic.:. Brown said, he believed that the Proclamation would not this year be issued. _ _ 130 W-STREET. Vtorwr ASSAULT-Mr. Geotge Heneyman, who resides in Pancras Road, was charged by 11Ir. George Grayson with assaulting him in a violent and unprovoked manner. Ilarmer's Clerk attended for the prosecution. Mr. Grayson resides at liornsey, and has considerable landed property under his superintendence. On Monday night list, on his return home, about seven o'clock, his wife informed him that two men of respectable appearance had been in the fields adjoining the house, about an hour before, and had fired off a gull, the contents of which had struck against the windows and alarmed her very much. Knowing the parties h.cl no business on his grounds, he went out of his house, and saw the accused alone, who, his wife in formed him, was one of the men she had previously referred to; and he (Mr. Grayson) went towards him. The accused endea voured to avoid him ; hut he followed him, and asked him by what authority he came there to shoot? The accused replied, " Curse you, if you don't get nut of my way, I'll shoot you." Ile ( Mr. Grayson), fearing that the accused would put his threat but: exe cution, immediately seized held of the gun. The accused, who is a powerful man, struck him with great violence, and dashed him to the ground. Whilst lying there, be was twice struck with the gun on the head, and the accused also pressed heavily upon him with his knees, and afterwards ran off and escaped. He obulined the address of the accused the same evening. Two females were called to confirm the statement of Mr. Gray son. Gie of them deposed that she saw the accused knock Mr. Grayson down, and beat him with his gun. Mr. Honeyman, in his defence, did not deny that he was shooting in the field, but ha said that the statement of Mr. Grayson was false in parts, and exaggerated in every respect. Mr. Grayson came up to him, and demanded his gun. He refused to give it up to him, and a scuffle ensued, during a hich blows were given on both sides. Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, said that it was a very dangerous practice for persons to fire off guns contiguous to inhabited houses. A few months ago a Gentleman lost the sight 01 0,,e eye in conse quence of such practice, and Mr. Honeyntan had evidently com mitted a very gross assault, for which he must find bail, himself in. 401. and.two sureties in 201. each, to answer the charge at the Sessions Yesterday, John Kingham and William Sharp were brought up on a charge of dog-stealing. Robert Collins, of Charles-street, Covent-garden, stated, that as he was putting the shutters of his shbp-wlndows up on Wednesday night, both the prisoners were passing by. Kingham took up his dog, vhich was very small, in his arms, and ran off with it. "Wit ness immediately pursued, crying, " Thief, thief!" whereupon Kingham was stopped, and taken into custody. In conducting him so Bow -street, Sharp endeavoured to rescue him, by tripping wit ness several times; and Yingham himself struck witness with a stick in attempting to make his escape. One of the Bow.street Patrol stated, that on hearing the noise he came to the assistance of Collins, and in taking Kingham into cus tody, Sharp, who appeared to be in liquor, attempted to rescue him ; whereupon he secured Sharp, and, having searchid him, he found in his pocket-hook several letters from the country, relating to nego tiations of about thirty dogs. Kingham, in his defence, stated, that as he was passing that way along with Sharp he saw a row at the end of the street, and on running towards it he met the dog, which he took up in his arms, lest it might be run over. The Magistrates, Mr. HALLS and Mr. Iklmstiut.t., not being satisfied with this defence, convicted Kingham in the penalty of 20/. being the lowest for the first offence.—Theprisoner not finding it convenient to advance that sum, was committed to the House of Correction for six months. Mr. MINSHULL at the same time in. formed him that he might appeal from the conviction to the Quartet Sessions.—Sharp was ordered to find bail for an attempt to rescue. Several housekeepers who reside in the Haymarket came up to complain of the annoyance which they experienced from job coaches obstructing the passage before their doors on Opera nights. The driver of one of them was convicted in the mitigated penalty of , 2,05. On stating his inability to pay it, he was committed to the House of Correction for one month. The complainants expressed their deter mination to summon every coachman that should stop there for the future longer than they were warranted in. Mr. Samuel Trait, the suitor of Miss Flackerty, upon whose heart and wardrobe he had contrived, as we stated yesterday, to make an equal inroad on a first interview, was yesterday morning brought op and discharged; his tender mistress not being able to find in her heart to prosecute for the abduction of her gowns. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Benjamin Battler, the man who was charged with obtaining money from the servants of Lords Glengall and Clifden, by representing himself as a porter employed at a Coach-office, was brought up for further examination. The parcels which had been sent to Lord Glengall, at the Isle of Wight, and which the prisoner delivered at the town residence, and received the money for carriage, were produced, and found to he stuffed with waste paper. The parcel which had also been delivered at Viscount Clifden's house was also opened, and fouoci to be tall of paper.—The prisoner was again remanded. A FottelON BIRD MANUFACTUR alt.—Yesterday jo'i it Wright, a bird fancier, was charged by Mr. Cook, of Museum-street, with fraud. He stated that on Tuesday last the prisoner introduced himself to Mr. C. and his spouse, laying that he had some beautiful foreign birds of " unrivalled" plumage, which being distressed he would sell cheap. He produced several live birds, of very handsome ap pearance, in paper bags. Mrs. Cook was enchanted with their beauty, and observed she had seen several such in the Museum.-- The prisoner said they were valuable foreign birds, called carpoons, and finally, Mrs. Cook prevailed on her spouse to purchase one of the handsomest for the very reduced charge of is. 61 The little " foreigner" was consigned to a handsome cage. ft was variegated with beautiful colours, and Mr. C. after some consultation, beg: - .n to suspect his new domestic of being like some other dickey birds, deco. rated in " borrowed plumes," he accordingly washed it, and to his no small astonishment, discovered the valuable bird to be neither more nor less than a poor cock sparrow, which appeared as much delighted with the restitu:ion of hi: natural appearance, as his owner was with the artificial ore. The prisoner " dropped in" again on Wednesday night, at the shop of Mr. Cook, and at his request, was tranyerred to the watchhouse. Mr. Roc wished him to chew the birds which he now had in his pocket. He did so, and produced some linnets, which had also been " tipped," and he declared to the Magistrate, that unless they were so ornamented people would not buy birds in these dcgradvd times• He said that he did not know it was any crime, aiid, it forgiven, he would abstain in future.—The oEcers said that he had beer fellow ins this profession for fears. Mr. Ito' committed hint for thi fraud. One of his -linnets made its escape out of the Office, on being shown to the Magistrate. QUEEN-SQUARE. DISTURRANCR AT ASTLIT'S THlATRE.—Yesterday, bin Richard flood, a respectable young man, was charged with creating a dis turbance during the performance in Astley's Theatre. William Carr. of Lambeth, said that on Wednesday night about ten o'clock, the defendant with several more were in the pi., hissing and booting at something they did not ?Ike in ti's performance. He went lo the defendant, and s: id," Young man, this disturbance will not do here," and on his taking bum 117 the collar, he knocked him down ; assistance, however, bring OA:titled, he(tire defendant) was forced out. Several other persons also struck hint before he could procure assistance, aood while taking him oat, a v.atclimoi', , rattle fell from under his coat. The defendant was making a great noise with others, so that the performnic. could nut be briatl. bionrose, a Constable, attending the The.orre, said that what seemed to give dissatisfactioosi, was the ch..r;octel ut I Shuck Jens," as performed in the piece, which was tLe a ck Lscoe a a person then !it, the house.

The defendant was ordered to had sureties to keep the peace 1, r three Inur.!ivi, himself in 401. and the two other persons 201. each. The required bail was instantly put in, and the defendant retired with his friends. ill ItY. LA•DONNE. Wednesday evering, if,.

Tin first after they were married he proposed to have the l eases trans f erre; ' to his own name, and has owned since that he minted her for bet' property. lie has behaved so ill to her that her s -health is men impaired, and, under the advice of Dr. Russell, Golden-squarer she begun about a week ago to take bark and port wine ; it sto o d on a shelf in the kitchen. On Monday night he asked to taste it, and she took it on Tuesday as usual. IVednesday moniingshetold him she really could not live with him, as her health was so injured in consequence of hi, threats and bad language ; but it he would leave her, be should have as much money as be brotqlit. Ile said if he left her he would have more than that. Ile said afterwards he would not leave at all ;.s long as there was a penny in the house. Mr. RAWLINSON asked her what she meant by threats and had language.— Ma s. Cox. Ile said, if be had a wife like one of Env lodgers, he would kill her. I said, do you knew what you ure speaking of? Ile replied, what he said he meant.. I then said, you had better leave me. Ile said, no ;he would poison me. If I d:i not live with him, I should not live with any one else. Last Saturday, he said he would part, but he would take pretty good care, helore that, he would do something. On Thursday last, I had a woman to wash. I looked in a cupboard for a bottle, to send for some gin. In a corner, where I sellout look, I found a Femur parcel. I said to Mary Anne, here is a paper, do you know anything of it? She asid e no. We tasted its contents. She said, i. was ordic aci 1. W setit iiiece to a chemist's in Crawford -street, for we suspected something wrong. After breakfast, I went into the parlour, and remained thri c.c.timers of an boar. My husband came up afterward. ; and I went down. Mary Anne then examined the cupboard, seed tke parcel we.s goal.. I then said. we must i.e careful what we eat. I esan.intel the port wine and hark ;it was different. I took a little, and it made my throat smart. She fur. ther stated, that Mary Anne lived .r-niaid with her when for. merly she kept a public-house, and her husband did not like tier living with her now. Mr. liswaiNsoN asked if her husband could not have admiui , .. tered the poison in another w::y, alai she replied that her medicine was the only thing of which lie did not himself partake. May Anne drank nothing but water. A jut was ;ilways kept to the area to be cool. We examined the an•i that a:co had carne of the acid in it. IVe took some of the wile and some the water, in separate bottles, to a chemist in Crawford -street, to be analysed, and he sent us to Mr. Garden, of Osfordsstreet. lie se t's !e has lb, doubt each contains oxalic acid, and he will utterht if s e nt for. Mary Anne Croke' corroborated this testimony. Mr. Itawkr.ssoN to Mr. Cox—Have you ally question to put to your wile ? Mr. Cux—l do nut know what to say ; lam as in. 'went as a child in the womb. The differences between me and my wife were in consequence of her keeping Mary Anne ; and when he remonstrated, his wile told Mot she was eating and drink ing norhing of his. Mr. Ilawcissom to Mr. Cox—Are you prepared with any bail? Mr. Cox—l have no friend or acquaintance in London. Mr. RAWLINSON—This is a very serious charge. If you cannot find bail I must commit you ; you shall go to rh. watch-bouse, in stead of going to prison; if you prefer it. Mr. Cox—l am obliged to you, Sir ; I a.n innocent. Mr. IlAwLiNsou—lt is for you to show how the parcel contain ing the oxalic acid cam.- into the cupboard. Mr. Cox—l never brought a parcel into the house in my life., nor did I say I would kill her, if I bad a wife like the lodger. I only said I would zive her a d—d good hiding. He was then sent to the watch•house. Yesterday h:• was agoin brought up ; when Mr. Squire's 3 cslstart stated, that he had examined the wines and the wazer brought to him by Mrs. Cox and Miss Croker, and he firmly believed tliar. there was oxalic acid in both. Ile was titit prt•p.tred to say its what quantity, as it would take anothsr d .y to perfect the analyz Won. Miss Croker asked Mr. Squires, whether it did not require warm water to dissolve oxalic acid.—Mr. Squires replied, that it would dissolve quicker in warm water, but in the COUNK of an hour it would dissolve in cold. Miss Croktr to Mr. Ilawunsmi—You last night, Sir, asked Mrs. Cox, whether it was not possible for me to have put the oritid :cid into the wine, and to the water; and although I acknowledge that the question was very proper on your part, some person. have wig.: understood its intentim, and have expressed an opinion that I really did do it. Now, Sir, I can grove Cu the contrary. I went up in the parlour with Mrs. Cox, and at the time we left the kitchen, the water in the kettle was cold ; I was not out of her s'ght ; and when we examined the liquids, the wine was warns, and the water was warns ; there had evidently been warm water put into them, and it was impossible I could have il , •ise it. Mr. liawc.tstson said, lie was sorry any suspicion had attached to her; for he felt satisfied she had nothing to do with it. . . Mr. Cox declared himself innocent. fie said. he never brought anything of the kind into the house, excepting an ounce of salts, which he bau,;ht of a respectable pasoti be could name. Ile again solemnly dcclare.l himself innocent. 11r. itatwaittzsost—l 'must co:nmit you to prison for another ex • amination; and according to the view we now take of the mattil, you must then be conitaiited for trial: and the final caanunation i. appointed to tJt. place at nue o'clock to-morrows The East India Company's ship Mo-chi , ire , s of Eiv was all well on the 27th of Jnue, in lat. 12."
