VICISSITUDES OF A scornsH SOLDIER. (ICITRACTS mow) Among the women who were put ashore on our al rival at Portsmouth, there was one belonging to our regiment who Ead rather the appearance of a bundle of rags than of a human being. Upon some of the men calling out to her not to expose the regiment, by telling the good English people that such a scarecrow belonged to it, she answered, that she would soon have more prize-money than and of os. This eventually turned tut truth ; not long afterwards she joined us again, 6nely dressed, and having 301. in her pocket: she had procured all this by begging. Her lamentable story had taken well ; but I dare say she got the money more rea dily on a:count of having a beautiful child in her arms. The fatal expeditions to Walcheren had now been , determined upon. We accordingly embarked in the Belleisle, 74-gun ship, having, in addition to our men, some horses and artillery on board. Having pro teeded to Deal, we sailed from that place at three o'clock in the morning on the 28th of July, 1809. Never w ill I forget the glorious sight of the most powerful and namerous fleet which ever left the British shores; the sea looked as it it groaned under the weight of so many vessels, and as far as the eye could reach a wilder ness of masts was seen. Thirty•five sail of the line, 23 frigates, 179 transports, and an innumerable quantity of small craft, composed this mighty armament, con taining 39,000 troops, under the command of the Earl of Chatham. Thirteen hours' sailing enabled us to drop our anchors off the island of Walcheren at four o'clock in the after noon. Next day the whole army got into the boats, which all started ate signal for the shore: the landing was successfully performed, one battery only having attempted to an oy us, And that without effect. Seeing some of the enemy lurking in a wood, two of our corn parties rushed forward, took two pieces of cannon, and some prisoners. We marched towards Campveer; some of our men entered a fort by the way, which the enemy had evacuated on our approach, and found a good din ter, which the French had left, ready cooked. It was quite dark when we arrived at the town of Campveer; but though we trod as lightly as possible, the French sentinel discovered and challenged us. Immediately after this a tremendous file of grspe•shot was opened upon us ; but as the garrison fired nearly at random, on account of the darkness, we did not suffer so much as it it had been otherwise, However, the scene was appal ling enough ; there was a constant toar of the guns, the bullets were whizzing audibly, and were crushing or lopping off the branches of the surrounding trees. While in this situation, I was suddenly struck to the ground by a ball wbich had entered the side of my knapsack ; fortunately I escaped unhurt. Finding that we were exposing ourselves needlessly to danger, we retreated, with a .loss of sixty killed and wounded; a heavy price, indeed, since there had been nothing ac ccmpltshed. We were obliged to lie all night on the bank of a muddy ditch, with the rain lashing on us the whole time. Being very thirsty, after our inidni.. wanderings, we were fain to content ourselves with drinking the disgusting and putrid ditch water. On examining my knapsack, I found the bail had gone through a pair of shoes, broken a soap-boz and hurtou-stick to pieces, and finally lodged in a shirt, after passing through eleven folds of it. I kept this ball for some time, but at last threw it away, it being a quarter of a pound in weight, and too heavy to carry. The trade of West Bromwich and the adjoining towns is bt ilLesery one appearing hilly employed, and.liwing in a state oflpparent ease and comfort. From (our to fire hundred sew houses have been recently erected here, as also a" new and handsome Church. A collection was 'erectly made for one of the Dissenting Sunday Schools, at which 1051. was collected. Trade is in an improving state in the Staffordshire Potteries. The present Martinmas hiring has formed quite a contrast in briskness to that of last year, and the winter prospect is altogether such as must be highly gratifying to persons of benevolebt Adv. The bridge now erecting over the river Aire, in the line of the intended Leeds and Whitehall Turnpike Road, is in a considerable state of forwardness.

KATHIRINE Doces.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the whale of the men who discontinued their wort on Monday (bricklayers and labourers), upwards of .500 in number, were assembled on Tower Hill, near the entrance into the Docks; but though the gates were open they declined going to work, the contractors, Messrs. Bit/NM and Htnrr, not having conceded then /Nut% of paying them the usual wages. Up to eleven o'clock no proposition or concession was made on the part of the contractors to the men, who, independent of the attempted reduction, also complain of the curtail. sent of the dinner time from an hour to half an hour.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS-COURT. Tom Gaynor took his benefit yesterday, and although the com pany was nut numerous, it was respectable. The setting-to wm characterised by spirit, and aU that *hewed" did their best.' Among others who mounted the issalka were— Crayford Ind Smith, Alit Reid and Harry Jones, Whlteheaded Bob and Harry Lancaster. Ike Dodd and Young Richmond (one of the SNOW WI fraternity), but young Mang finding Ike too rough in his compli ments, " cut the concetn ;" Young Spring and Ned Savage, Scrog gins and Bunn (the BOW Boy), and, as a wind up, Gaynor and Clegg. Alit Reid, who is very anxious to a job, said he was willing to make a new match with Bishop Sharpe, se with any man in Eng land weighing not more than lOst. 21b. not omitting Dick Davis, of Manchester. Among others be mentioned Harry Jones, with whom he bad set-to, and a slashing affair they made of it. Harry said he was willing, and wished his friends to come to cover, as there was no man with whom he would rather have "ashy." William Savage then mounted the stage, and said he was desirous of having Harty Jones as a customer, to fight him for 251. a-side. Harry came to the scratch at once, and said he was ready. A sovereign a-side was then staked, to be made two a-side the same ,evening, at Tom Belcber's. This is expected to be a merry little affair; and in all probability Young Spring and Ned Savage will " shake hands" on the sale evening.

MATCH AGAINST TIME. ♦ Trotting Match took place yesterday, to decide a bet of 500 sovereigns, Captain Junes, undertaking for that wager to trot his mare 17 miles in an hour. It took place upon a fine two.mile piece of ground near Maidenhead. At starting, betting was 5t04 In his favour. The Captain lost the match by two minutes and fifty-four seconds. The mare broke into a gallop three times whilst doing the match. After the first eight miles were done, betting was 6to 1 against the mare, and no takers. BOLL Berristo —A number of persnns were fined in sores of from £3 to itto each, and others imprisoned for various periods, a few days since, by the Magistrate, of West Bromwich, for having rimpusly assembled to witness and aid in the brutal amusement of bull-baiting. Reunions raitausuce.—The Government of Ben gal was at one period very desirous that the native soldiers should wear feathers in their regimental caps; but the Bramins, who form a large proportion of the army, represented to the government that no Hindoo was permitted, by his religion, to deprive an animal of life, or make any use of it after death. The idea, therefore, was immediately abaodosted.—Loudies Woidy Resin..

W. Starlit, k 4. M.P. to, k the Chair. The Ctiiiataan said, when the lee accisreit took plac2 it the Tannet, an impression war Created on the minds of the puirlit, that the undertaking would entirely fail ; h* had; bovretei, the satisfaction of stat ing, that the Themei had be e n complete!! etp*Led; and that the work was ndt Itheieded by anj access of watt r, excepting that which arose aoin land springs, &c. They had now arrived at' ti•farly the tame tort of ground which they occupied previout td the accident. The works were in as perfect a dry Condition as when th-y commenced, and they now prOtieded with every 'net peel of success. The shield had b:en adianced !eet. and the engineer had discove.ed that the accident had been caused by a tier of vessels haling anchored over that part of the bed of the river; if they hid been over the brick work nothing of the kind *ould hate hap pened. The Chairman concluded by stating; that the last calls were paid up with great promptitude, and he belieVed that the work would be completed In tl tam able time. The Report was then read, from which ft Appeared !bat the available assets of the Company ►►ere 27,0001. and that 188,0001. more was required to complete the undertaking, and to make a road and apprbaches to the Tunnel. A sum of 10,0001. which .was to have been paid to Mr. Brunel, had been left by that Gentle man to be liquidated at the convenience of the Directors, should the work be completed. To raise the sum required, it was proposed to apply to Parliament for an extension of the powers of the Act of the Company, impowering the Directors to raise the sums required to complete the Tunnel. The balance sheet was then read, from which it appeared that the total amount received on ►Oates, &c. had been 148,7141. and the expenditure in the purchase of land, wages, materials, &c. had amounted to 145,7341. At the present moment there was a balance at the bankers of 6,4401. which, added to other items, including the calls to be made on the subscribed capital, made the balance available to the purposes of the Company amount to 27,1071. The Report was then adopted, and the Meeting separated. HAMMERSMITH PETTY SESSIONS. John Carter and William Dormouse were charged before S. E. SKETCHLIY, Esq. T. FLOOD, Esq. and Gao. Scyr-r, Esq. assembled yesterday in Petty Ses sions, with entering a dwelling house at North end, Fulham, belonging to Mr. Paget, plumber, with intent to steal divers quantities of lead, a pump, rte. ready packed up to be carried off, when they were disturbed. Two people had seen them run off, Susan Brown, who lived opposite, and William Brown, who was watching the premises for Mr. Paget; and they stated to a watch. man who the parties were, in consequence of which the prisoners were apprehended; bat such is the ter. ror, or influence, exercised by the prisoners and the , gangs with which they are connected, that those wit nesses would not sow swear to the prisoners ; and yet the pawners were most deplorable looking objects. Carter, a mere•lad, had scarcely any covering, and said he got his living by means of a donkey and cart ; and Dormouse stated that be occasionally assisted a (flying), dustman ; both had before been charged with and in prison for robberies, as was now stated before them by the constables, the instincts being named. While in the cage, one was heard to say to the other--a All will be right. Sutton would pre►ent mother Brown from swearing against them." Susan Brown was offered the Testament to swear, and she persisted in refusing to take hold of it, or to avow having seen the prisoners quit Mr. Paget's house. She said she would not swear to any thing wrong ; she was a widow and lone woman, and had children of her own. The Magistrates repeatedly told her they only wanted her to swear to what was right; but she would not swear at all nor give evidence. The Magistrates said that the prisoners mast be dis charged in consequence of this scandalous denial of previous statements and withholding evidence. Mr. Paget stated, that the gangs about North-end and Walham-green were of the most desperate charac ter. He had possessed houses opposed to the Seven Stars, North-end, only four years, and during that pe riod ttventy-seven burglaries had been committed upon his premises. The prisoners were discharged. SUNDAY NYCORSAINS. Davie and another constable appeared with lists of names in their hands, when the latter said,—we appear respecting these Sunday excursions. Mr. }loon—Sunday excursions !—What excursions? Constable—Why, this regulation respecting the shops on Sundays. Mr. FLOOD—Oh, you call them excursions, do you? Well, I wish you much joy of your excursions; with us at Chelsea, they were any thing but entertaining. How ever, what have you done ? _ _ Constable—Why, the first on my list of those who would go on, even during divine service, is George Dyke; he has no shop—he has a stall or basket, in the Broad way, and sells pies, apples, &c. Mr. FLOOD—I don't know what to siy about the innocent applei, or the article of fruit generally, thus carried about on the highways. It is legally wrong undoubtedly—but questioning the utility or fairness of attacking the fruit people at all—l certainly am not for beginning with them. The Magistrates then looked over the lists, and di- rected summonses to be issued against the butchers, bakers, &c. some of them having kept open during almost all service time; against the fruit-sellers sum monses were ordered xot to be issued. The unfortunate young Gentleman, son of D. Gas army, Esq. residing in the City-road, who was in dread fully burnt about the body. in consequence of a quan tity of fireworks, which were crammed in his trowsers pockets becoming ignited, while amusing himself with some more youths, on the evening of Guy Fawkes' day, in the Goswell Street Road (an account of which ap peared in our Paper of the 7th inst.), died on Monday light, after fourteen days of severe suffering. At the last Assizes in Athy, the Crier of the Court, who had been Lord Plunkett's servant, unaccustomed to the manner of making proclamations, and having a thick NOrthern accent, became as much confused in manner as unintelligible in speech, when at length, not knowing what to do, he turned to Counsellor Gray. don. who stood near him, and asked, What will I say, Sir ? Mr. Graydon, in his usually grave and impressive tone, answered—say " unaccustomed as I am to public speaking." The Crier, in this instance at least, evinced some smartness; for he readily and correctly repeated what the Counsellor prompted him, to the mingled sur. psis@ and amusement of the whole Rooth.

Sutherland was not seen from the time the boat upset, until observed among the breakers by the people on shore, when Mr. Skinner, schoolmaster of the village, plunged into the surf, and succeeded in getting the body out, at the imminent danger of his own life. Dr. Andersen, Golspie, being on the spot, used every means to restore animation, but to no effect.— The body was about 26 minutes in thh water. The deceased was 20 years of age, an only son, and the sole support of aged parents and family, who have now to lament his premature death. The young boy, as soon as the boat upset, got hold of an oar and kept by it, came ashore among the breakers, which were at the time awful in the extreme,withont receiving the slightest injury. Much praise is due to Mr. George Alexander, plasterer, Golspie, and Mr. Skinner, for their exertions Courier. NEWCASTLE, Novaussa W. Sunda) night. four young Gentlemen of this town, in crossing the river, from Sloth to North Wilds, very narrowly escaped a watery grave. The scullerman, who was rowing them, was an old infirm man, and the strong fog making it difficult to see or to avoid getting en tangled in the way,• the boat was left just at the mercy of the elements, and would either have been upset in the river, or carried to sea, had the passengers not taken ad vantage 6f a pilot's coble, and effected a safe landing. for which they had a premium to pay. Indeed we hear that many scullerrnen lost themselves in a tempting to cross the river, and after rowing about in some cases upwards of an hour, found themselves near to the place they set out from. The Rev. Mr. &oeell left North Shields at .5 o'clock, and, after several attempts, only reached the south side about halt past 6 o'clock, and the attempt had nearly proved fatal to him. la passing under a rope which was net perceived, he was forced from the boat, and the boatman was only made aware of his loss by his cries. The Rev. Gentleman was relieved from his desperate situation by another boat, which was directed to him by his cries. A steam packet which had been at B'yth, on her return about seven, missed the harbout, and got upon the sands. The sea bring fortunately moderate, she lay without much inconvenience till the tide had fallen, when the passengers walked ashore.— Captain Arns and his son, as they came from her, were the fortunate cause of rescuing a scullerman from a dangerous voyage. The tide was hurrying him to sea, as appeared from his noise, which sounded out of the mist as from a sepulchre, when they were able to direct hire by their shootings to the shore, and a place of safety. But they had the misery to hear another forced past them by the tide, who was hurried out to sea wi h rut their keing able to render the slightest assistance. The feelings of a humane man may be imagined, as the cry of horror gradually more and more deepened till it came upon their ear at length from the face of the waters like a voice of distress from the tomb.
