NORWEGIAN NATIONAL SONG. 7ROM TRAVELS IN NORWAY. SWEDEN, DENMARK ' &C. &C. IIY WILLIAM RAE WILSON, ESQ. F.S.A. Majestic Norway! sea-girt land! Birthplace of all I most revere; Thy mountains, form'd by Freedom's hand, Smiling at time, their proud crests rear, Despite of storms that shake the world, A giant band in fierce array, With blue mist round their visors curl'd, And frost upon their helmets grey ! These are the mountains loved of old 11) Auka Thor, of tameless soul, Who, as o'er clouds his chariot roU'd, Heard giants own his dread controul: Giants who wildly had rebell'd Against th' assembled hosts of heaven, Y«t, by their love of fame impell'd, To Thor their willing vows were given ! How did the bold Norwegian move, With earthquake step to fiery war, And, as the maiden of his love, • Meet death red-rushing from afar; Ay, e'en with Freya's look she bore Her lover on his heaven-ward road, And, as to Odie's ball they soar, Still from his lips the war-song now% I These are the tales of other days; But when the Lur's loud notes I hear, Or when the cataract flings its sprays Front rock to rock, and stuns the ear, I fancy that I catch once more, Forgetful that those times are fled, The martial music lov'd of yore, When elicit smok'd, and armies bled! These times are fled, these lights are set, But in old Norway's son we trace Enough to know that he is yet A scion of the ancient race - And in her daughter still we race'; The unie blue eyes, and rosy cheeks, The guileless heart, the steady mind, The health that length of days bespeaks! Yes, mountaimfounded Norway! thou Art dearer than all lands to me; Thy rocky bulwarks eapp'd with snow, Thy vallies smiling verdantly; They are eternal—but if hurl'd From their broad base by Hzavee's decree. Atnidit the ruin of a world, Still, Norway i they mold point to thee ! THE SUMMER EXCURSION. FROM A CROW ANN'S REPOSITORY OP A RTS,&C. Summer and autumn are the season when the disciples of Esculapius recommend their patients to leave their homes, and take a trip to the sea side, where the goddess of health loves to dwell; when the gay votaries of fa shion quit the crowded streets of London, and hurry to the watering places, to enjoy the luxury of bathing, and sip the mineral waters. To which of these shall I bend my steps? There is the coast of Kent, where Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Sandwich, invite me to view their beauties, and it-is a pleasure to wander on that delightful coast, to see the gay thronged gardens, to walk on the pier and behold the crowded passengers land from the steam packets. Daring the height of the season, the packets land about eight hundred persons daily. There we see the London guinea-pig, who has quitted some garret, where he lived penuriously and hoarded up his guinea, that he might indulge himself with a trip to Margate. How gay he looks dressed in his Sunday clothes—how pleasure glis tens in his eyes to behold the brilliant scene; but soon must he quit it, for his guinea will support him only one day, and be must return on Monday morning to resume his labours, and by diligence make up for the time he has lost and the money he has squandered.— My heart aches to see the man who has, by the sweat of his brow, earned a few shillings. thus wasting them. No, I mill not go to the coast of Kent, where I might again view at Dover the cliff which Shakespear has immortalized, and behold once more those scenes which were visited by the Romans who invaded England, and generally landed on the coast of Kent. Shall I bend my steps to the Isle of Wight, which is emphatically called the garden of England, and which an avaricious man might wish for as a flower garden, although he possessed the whole land of Britain as a farm ? al the coast of Kent, it is a beauty made by the hand of man ; at the Isle of Wight, it is the rugged and sublime hand of Nature that has formed the many grand views. Amongst others, there is. Shanklin Chine, si tuated at the back of the Island, which, for grandeur of scenery, and awful precipices, surpasses all other parts of England. There is Carisbrook Castle, famed for King Charles's confinement there by his rebellious sub jects ; there is still the window, out of which the unfortunate Monarch attempted to escape ; in the Castle is a very deep well, the water of which is famous all over the island, and it is the pleasantest water I have ever drank, it is drawn up by means of a donkey, who is so tame, that he follows the visitors for biscuits, ft nit, or any other eatables given to him ; in the room where the well is situated, you may observe the wall written over with names, so much se, that every one who visits it will find some name inscribed on it that he is acquainted with. At Carisbrook we see with what amazing strength our forefathers built ; the present race of builders are deter mined that their children shall be well employed propping up the houses they erect, for these will not surely last above one generation. About two miles trnm Carisbrook, is the gay and lively borough-town of Newport, which is generally thronged with Officers,; who are the life and ornament of the place. About two miles from Newport are the barracks, which are worth seeing. At a short distance from them is the workhouse. in which are the poor of the whole island. I ler e the Philanthropist may behold a sight which will snake his heart glad. There are upwards of eight hundred poor in the louse, who are all neatly clothed and well fed. The rules and regulations are shewn by the matron to any visitor, who is at liberty to make remarks in n :king in the book of rules and regulations. When Mr. Owen, of Lanark, visited the poor-house, he remarked that the management of the poor in the Isle of Wight came rearest to his plans of any he had seen : it is a pleasant ght to see eight hundred poor sit down to a good meal, there are about five hundred children among them, whose :milling countenpnces and happy looks afford gratiacar io n to the benetolent mind. I had determined on visiting these happy 'cents, but taking up a news. paper I read of the extrelne misery that exittld in the large manufacturing towns. I ordered my horses to tut door, and hurried in preference to the scenes of misery, in hopes of contributing my feeble efforts to their alleviation. 7h: se who live in affluence have little idea of the great misery and wretchedness that many of their fellow-a eatutes endure, they now and then behold the cottages of their tenants, and ifs's., is in many of them every comfort and necessary of life ;'they have a garden to raise their own vegetables, a pig to faften and kill, which enabletthem to pay their rent ; poultry and eggs to carry to market and sell, so that they may bring back food and clothing'; and in many counties you see the rack of bacon, which is supplied with a well-cured flitch that they enjoy in the summer season, with their own green peas and beans. But the manufacturing poor, who are crowded in large towns, enjoy none of these comforts. You may behold a large house, which, perhaps, was the residence of a Nobleman, but now its. glory is gone—it is inhabited by the children of misery. When you entered the lofty rooms, which formerly resounded with the song of mirth, the hum of the weaver's shuttle strikes on the ear. There ate around you a sickly wife, clothed in rags, with an infant at her breast, and several children who were born in misery and baptized in tears, whose looks bespeak the want of that food they in vain expect from their parents. Too often now you see the father, unable to obtain employment, seated in an old armed chair, looking on his famishing family with anguish, and incapable of affording relief. This picture is not too highly coloured, for too many instances have lately occurred which prove that the scenes of misery are far more distressing than language can express. At Coventry, a poor emaciated woman, who went into a baker's shop to purchase a loaf, secreted another about her person; the baker missed it, and procured a constable, with whom he went to the poor woman's house, where he di covered a scene of wretchedness that makes the heart bleed. There was a large family of children belonging to a sick ribbon s% eaver, without employment. On the fire was a pot, with something boiling in it for their dinner. He en quired what was in the pot. The woman, overcome with shame and confusion, did not answer. The con stable removed the lid from the pot; Reader! what do you think it contained ? Three small puppies which bad been drowned. The baker gave her the bread, with some money, and requested her, if in distress, not to steal, but to come to him and he would give her bread. Is it not better to visit such scenes of misery, and pour solace and relief en the distressed, than to squander money away at watering places? Go thou ) and do likewise! for the poor should be comforted. " Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their humble joys, and destiny obscure; Nor grandeur bear, with a disdainful smile, The short and si mple annals of the 'poor." GULIELMUS, The experiment of establishing an Italian Opera at New York seems to have succeeded in a very remarkable degree. The New York Daily Advertiser, of August 5, says, " It Barbiere di Siviglia was performed last even ing for the fortieth time, to an overflowing and highly fashionable house. The troupe were in excellent voice, and the music was received with rapturous applause.—. This opera has been the favourite throughout the season, aad is now as popular as ever." MAIDSTONE. SEPT. s.—Hop picking is now in full vigour, and the produce is most abundant, and of the finest quality. Many thousands of hands are employed. The extraordinary quantity of five hundred weight of eels was caught in the trap at the Kent, in the night of Saturday. A young man, fashionably attired, who calls himself Brockkbank, junk a half-pay Lieut. in the Royal Navy, has lately succeeded in duping several tradespeople in the west end of the , town. On Saturday last he drove up in an elegant equipage to the shop of Mr. CHANDLES, a goldsmith, in Leicester-squire, and after telling him to look out a few table-spoons , salt-sellers and various other minor comforts of the dinner-table, he strolled about the shop, and surveyed the various gold and silver wonders with which Mr. Cueens.an's shop abounded. The articles being selected, and the price settled. Mr. Brocklebank, jun. begged of Mr. C. to allow his shop-boy to accompany him to the place he was going in his gig, and that he would discharge his " trifling bill." Mr. C.'s suspicions were:compktely lulled, if any had arisen,by this apparent fair deal ing, and his shop-boy figured In due time in the fashionable dennet of Mr. Broeklebank, junior. Ile drove to an obscure street in Drury-lane, where the pseud* Mr. Brocklebank, junior, stopped, and alighting with the place in his pessesdon, desired the boy, who was quite overcame with the honour paid to him, to keep the reins till his return. It is needless to add, that Mr. Brockkbank !weer returned, and,to his mortificationZMr. Cuaramea found that the gig had been hired for the occasion. An inquest was held at Aikbank, near Whitehaven, on view of the body of John Hussick, of Charles-street, who was killed onTuesday week by a bull belonging to Mr. Brayton. The.cleceased was in the employ of Mr. B. and had been sent to drive the animal out of a field where he was grazing, and although armed with a pitchfork he was turned upon by the bull, whose attacks he resisted for some time, but was at length thrown down, and whilst in this situation the bull rolled over him two or three times! A servant man who witnessed the affair came to Hussick's rescue, but so intent was the enraged animal upon the destruction of his driver, that he would not leave him before life was entirely extinct. Verdict," Accidental Death."—Deudand, 4s. A melancholy circumstance has occurred in West moreland, in the neighbourhood of Patterdale, at the head of Ulles Water. About a week before, a young Lady, seemingly about twenty years of age, calling herself Miss Sands, came to the inn at Patterdale in a post chaise, alone, and said she would remain for some time. From the time of her arrival until the following Friday, no part of her conduct gave the slightest rea son to suppose derangement of intellect; she ate her meals heartily, and employed herself chiefly in reading or walking, and was mild, obliging, and seemingly quite a Lady in her habits and deportment. On the afternoon of Friday week she told the landlady of the inn that she was going to walk to the top of Helvillyn (the highest mountain in the neighbourhood), and left Patterdale seemingly with that intent about five in the afternoon. Night came, and there were no tidings of her return. Next morning, a man passing the hill road to Grassmere, found the body of a young Lady at the foot of that frightrul precipice, which k almost half the height of the mountain. Tlw body was shockingly disfigured, having struck in its descent many projecting rocks. In the repositories of the deceased was found a letter from a person signing himself William Haliday, dated Falmouth, in which is the following passage-- "A few months' retirement, my dearest Mary, and all will come round and be well; you know ycu can de pend npon me."—Coroner's verdict, Found dead. Lately, as some tradesaten ern pro) ed at Kinchoichat, were viewing the falls of the Garry at S;rowan, five miles west from Blair Athole, one of them venturing incautiously too near the brick of the precipice, slirred his foot and was thrown over the fall, which is there about 25 feet in height, into the whirlpool bellw. The rest of the party hastened to the isintons of the fall, when to their astonishruerst they found that their friend bad got out on the opposite side, and standing on an almost inaccessible rock, heard him exclaim as loud as he could bawl to a countryman who was near, " Lit me see the cleverest ehield in a' the pa; 611 u' Strowan du that." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION BOUM Yesterday, Mr. Verbeke, as Solicitor to Mr. Lawford, the Se cretary of the Welsh Iron Company, applied to the Lou) hfartis for a warrant to search the premises of Nlr. Wilks, jun. M. P. for Sudbury, who, be stated, feloniously detained a book belonging to that Company. Mr. Lawford, the Secretary to the Committee, was sworn, when he-stated, that when the Company was founded there was a book belonging to the Committee, which was kept for the purpose of en teting all transactions relative to the issue and transfer of shares.-. This book was taken away by Mr. Wilks. The LORD MAYOR asked whether Mr. Wilks was not Solicitor to the Company Mr. Lawford replied, that he was Solicitor to the Company then, but was not now. The Loan Marna said, Mr. Wilks might, under those circum stances, claim a degree of authority with respect to it. The LORD MAYOR said that he should readily grant a search warrant, if he saw that the law would justify him ; but Mr. Ver beke himself admitted that he did not consider the property was originally taken feloniously. His Lord-hip, therefore, on this ground, and also on the ground that Mr. Wilks was a partner, dis missed the application. IF GISILDIIALL Yesterday a young man, of very respectable appearance, was brought up, charged with cutting the silk dresses of two Ladies in Bartholomew Fair. _ _ Mrs. Currie, a Lady living in Buckingham-street. Strand, stated, that she went in a coach the evening before, with three other Ladies, to Bartholomew Fair. They alighted at Smithfield Bars, and were walking through the fair, Mrs. C. and one of the Ladies before, the other two Ladies after them. They had not been many minutes in the fair, when one of the Ladies walking behind called to her that there was a person cutting her gown. She immediately turned round and caught hold of the defendant, who was next her, and called for help. An officer came up and took him into custody. On examining her gown, she found that there were five slits in it, apparently cut with scissars. Miss Eliza Wellesley corroborated Mrs. Currie's evidence, as did Miss Anne Brown, whose gown was also cut by - the same pri soner in several places, and by Miss Helen Lee. Atterwell, the officer, produced a small clasp-knife, and a small pair of scissars, the handle of which was formed of two pen-knives, with a sheath for the point of the seisms, that it might be carried in the pocket. These had been found upon the prisoner. Stephens, in his defence, stated that when the officer took him, knowing he had a pair of whines in his waistcoat pocket, he de sired him to observe that his coat was buttoned, so that if he had had the scissars in his hand, he could not have returned them to his pocket. He denied the charge, and stated, that he was clerk to Mr. Braddock, a merchant, in Fenchutch-street. _ _ Mr. Hubbard:clerk to Mr: Braddock, said, he was desired by his employer to state, that the prisoner was a most regular and correct young man. He held a highly confidential situation in the house, where eighty to 2100,000 was turned in the comae of the year. With respect to the peculiar form of the seisms, he could assure the Alderman, similar ones were in general use for once purposes about Mincing-lane; and those now produced the pri soner had used above a twelvemonth. The Alderman then said, the present case was a strong one against the prisoner, who seemed to have intended mischief, not robbery; but be would nevertheless remand him till Saturday. There now exists no express provision against this offence. The Small Trespass Act (Ist Geo. 11/. c. 56.), however, will reach the case, as it extends to wilful injury committed upon " real or per sonal property of any nature or kind soever," under the value of U. and the offender may be ordered to make reasonable satisfaction and compensation to the party aggrieved,and, In default, be committed to the House of Correction for three months. BOW-STREET. Isaac Davies, that chubby, red-faced, impertinent bey, who tattoos for Mr. Sanders, the old clothes salesman, at the corner of Holywell.street, Strand, was brought up on a c harge of an assault on Joseph George, a servant. Joseph George stated, that as he was passing through Holywell-street on Tuesday, the prisoner took hold of him and asked him to buy a coat; the prosecutor wrested his band from him, and struck him, whereupon the prisoner struck him in the face. This brought Mr. Sanders out, and as he was speaking to the prosecutor, the prisoner struck him again twice. Mr. Sanders came forward to explain the circumstance, but Mr. Mttaxuu. refused to bear him, adding indignantly that there were complaints every day from persons who were annoyed in that street; that old ciothestnen were not at all warranted in stopping people, and ordered the prisoner to give bail. Mr. Sanders offered himself as security, but Mr. Alutsauu, would not take him with out another, as he was interested. The Office was at this time full of persons, who felt interested in this case, and a general sensation of gladness was manifested at the result: several persons exclaimed that Holywell.street was a common nuisance, and that they would make any sacrifice to have it cleared of old elothessuen. Mr Charles Plamoser, a clerk in a mercantile house in the City, and Mr. .Dasid Sing, who, in announcing his occupation, gave the invariable description use d by Ms fraternity—" A tailor by trade, your Worship !" Implying that, he was neither bred, nor burn, a tailor, were placed eir-e-eis -Ws-morning, in presence of Mr. MUISHULL, the sitting Mgistrate, charged by Johnson, a watchman in the Strand, with laving done their beet to break the King's peace and each other's beads. Mr. Johnsan's evidence was singularly brief and pithy. He was passing Arundel-street last night, when he beard " a quarrel, but nothing where ore." Holding up his lantern, he beheld the two defendants engaged in active warfare, while two damsels, a white and a black one, stood looking on. Mr. Johnson immediately pouncing like a hawk upon a couple of fighting cock-sparrows, at once put an end to the combat, by taking one in each talon, and carrying them to the watchhoust-- " Well, Gentlemen," said his Worship, " and now pray what was all this about?" " Why, Sir," said Mr. Plummer," I was coming along the Strand last night, in company with a lady of my acquaintance—." But as Mr. Plummer was rather long-winded, we shall take the liberty of abridging his account of the affair, which was one of those that so often prove the truth of the poet's remark— " What dire effects from little causes springs!" Suffice it to say, Mr. Plummer had La Dame Blanche on his arm, when be was aware of the tailor marching along, and gallanting another lady, whose sable beauties, " did the night resemble." when his own fair one—alas! as fickle as fair—entered into a collo quy with his ninth part of a rival, and strewed evident symptoms of going over to the enemy. Mr. David King not only encouraged the deserter, conuary to all laws of war and good manners. but remembering,pet haps, that" fair exchange was no robbery,7 was for substituting his ebon paramour, in order to console Mr. Plummer for the loss of his lily-white chUmer. But Mr. Plummer was not to be &Ise in this way ; nor did he, as he himself most poetically expressed it, feel at all inclined to " part with his rose for a black thorn." A word or two of remonstrance to the marauding tailor roused all the fiery indignation for which that genus irrilatrik is proverbial. The word was resented by a blow, and " to't they went like lightning," when Mr. Johnson's interference stopped the fray. Ilia Wriasit to seeing how matters stood, after reprimanding Mr. Plummer for his little allegorical flight, which, however creditable to his fancy, was a little out of place before a Magistrate, ordered them to be bound over in mutual recognisance; and to find ball to keep the peace towards each other and all the King's lieges, for want of which they were consigned to the temporary surveillance of Ford. Both the fair and dingy causes of this disaster were afterwards con signed to the same place of durance for subsequent misconduct after the incarceration of their lovers on this eventful evening. P.I A RLBOROU G 11-ST REM Yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Nordern, of Berwick-street, Soho, ap. peared to an information charging them with unlawfully receiving and harbouring four China crape handkerchiefs and three cards of blond lace, the same being of foreign manufacture, and not having paid the duty on importation. The defendants had been detected on a previous occasion ; there. fore the Solicitor for the Customs said he should proceed for the full penalty, 1001. which it was in the discretion of the Magistrates to mitigate to 251: had it not been for a former conviction he should only have proceeded fur thrice the value of the property seised, about 151. the articles not being worth mote than Si. or 61. The defendants were convicted in the penalty of 251. and 203. costs. M A R Y. LA.DONSF.. Yesterday Charles was charged with a daring robbery by Mr. Gooding, fancy stationer of Mostircer•street, Cavendish. square. The prisoner rushed into the shop of the prosecutor on Saturday,evening and seized upon a glass case which laid upnn the counter. Mrs. Goading was so couch klAratlrd. that she shrieked and fainted away; but the prisoner being observed by a Gentleman to run out with the property, he pivoted:4nd took him into cliatO.ly • lie denied the robbery, but was fully committed. Harnphries,. alias Mahogany, a cad t 4 the Paddington coaches, was charged with improper conduct. The prisoner, with several others, yesterday muting, while drinking in the public streets,insulteciarVeral der;nt rerun's. When pa.sing by the lark 4 shire gtingo, they atoned some officers, who interfertd, and !lie prisoner, who was most violent, was taken into custody. Ile «•, s severely reprimanded and discharged on a promise of behaving better in future. QUEEN-SQUARE. • Yesterday, ZAK Chapman and William Morris, two fad% between thirteen and fourteen years of age, were charged with stealing fruit from the garden of Mrs. Barnstaple, the matron of the Lunatic Asylum, at Chelsea. William Allen, who searched the prisoners at the watch.bouse, deposed to his finding on their persons ten pears and one apple, which were now produced. Both of the boys wept bitterly, and promiged to do go no more. Mr. Want:.—Let them be sent to the Muse of Correction for fourteen days. Chapman's mother, who is a poor laundress, implored mercy for her child, as it was his first offence! Mr. Wets.—l am sorry I can't attend to yon; it will serve al an example to others.—The boys were then taken away. UNION HALL Cauttrr TO Asnatat.s.—Yesterday, William Wilson charged George Atkins, a carpenter, residing at %Valworth, with the follow. log alleged case of brutality William Wilson, the complainant, a Gentleman somewhat "in the vale of years," stated, that his auricular nerves were sensibly disturbed almost every hour of his life, by the malicious treatment of the defendant towards his dumb animals. Indeed, the complain. , ant did not rest here, for he was not merely distressed by the howl ing of the" poor creatures," but almost every morning he was pre sented with the most frightful proofs of human barbarity on tilt animals. "If beasts could speak," said he, in a tont of tearful sympathy, "what a tale would they unfold." " Yesterday morn. ing," continued the complaisant, "the defendant set two large bull dogs, I think y. , ti call them, at my cat, and I am not exaggereing, when I assure the Bench that they actually tore the animal to pieces. Ido not bring this case before you because the cat was a favourite, but because I think it an act of wanton cruelty, I have no wish to injure the defendant, but I do think if he is insensible to humanity towards the brute creation—he ought to be taught it." The blaotsTaasa said, that a more Inhuman act had scarciely ever come before him, and he should therefore order the defendant to pay one pound to some charitable institution, and the expences of the warrant, in default of which be should commit him. The defendant's mother left the office, for the purpose of comply ing with the Magistrate's decision. Yesterday the defendants, Jdin Standish, Hurley Abbott, .Qt* Curtis, Guns% and Dixon, all of whom were brought up to this office the day beibre, except Curtis, on a charge of havi ng assau l te d three officers of the Court of Requests, attended before the sitting Magistrate, M. SRAMIRT, Esq. for the purpose of • ans w er i ng t h e charges aleged against them.—The complainants repeated the previous statements of the assaults committed upon thrtn by the defendants, and produced some of their clothes stained with blood as evidences of the violent conduct pursued towards them on the 29th of August. Standish was now called upon to state what defence he hid to make for committing so violent an assault upon the officers of the Court of Requests ? He declared that the whole of the t'atts *ere grossly exaggerated, and said that it was all a matter of spite against bins on the part of the officers; that it was not his money they wanted. but himself. With respect to the complainants' assertions of being threatened with flinging them over the bridge, there was not one jot of truth iu it; neither was it true that they (the de fendants) had beaten them in the manner described. The dis turbance was entirely attributable to the intemperate conduct of the officers of the Court of Requests, and he added that he had witnesses of respectability in attendance who would prove that tact. The other defendants were then individually asked whether they wished to say anything. They replied in the affirmative, and each of them declared most solemnly that the Officers of the Court of Requests were the aggressors. The " Pet of the Fancy" gave his word of honour that he never lifted his hand against the officers— that he was merely a spectator near where the disturbance took place. to witness a race, and that the complainants knowing hint to be a " public man," fixed upon him. The Magistrates, M. SWABEY and D. Knit, Ewa. having con sulted together, decided that Standish should enter into his own re. cognisances iu the sum of 401. and the rest of the defendants Lot each, to appear at the next Sessions to answer any charges that may be preferred against them. TOWN HALL. A poor Negro, the victim of that cruel Nonrge, the sea scurvy, was brought up by the street-keeper for exposing hia person. The lower jaw and the hands of this miserable man were eaten away. The Alderman compassionately sent him to the Parish officers, since which he has been protected by the Society for the Relief of Foreigners. THAMES POLICE. ALUM= Saocnno Cauetay.—Sansoel Hawkins, Captain of the ship Jane, a Jamaica trader, was brought up on a warrant, by Blebby, the °Aker, charged with several acts of the most tatheara of cruelty towards Thomas Due, a boy of eleven years of age, on board the ship on her voyage home. Thomas Doe, being sworn, stated that he is engaged in board the Jane, and that he went oat to Jamaica with the prisoner at the bar, during which voyage he had been treated with great severity ; but that on his voyage home, about three weeks ago, he suffered the most creel treatment; he said that one day the Captain ordered him to go up and grease the mast, which he did; but while aloft the grease•bucket fell from him, and the Captain, on his coming below, gave him lit doaen of lashes. . Mr. BALLMITYNS asked hint whether the Captain stripped hint.—The boy said he was stripped of every thing except his shirt, sad after he had Bogged him, be sent him up again to grease the mast, and oe he coming down be again Bogged him; he then stowed himself away in the hold, and be was there for two days; on the Captain discovering him, he put an iron collar round his neck, to which was fastened a chain, vreighing cwt. and which he made him drag from one end of the ship to the other. —He then stowed himself away again in the hold, and on being discovered a second time, the Captain gave hint sis dozen more, and made him drag the iron chain, which was suspended as before, around the deck; he then knocked him down, and trampled upon him; he again went below out of his way, and the Captain got him again; he then tied his hands and feet, and shut hint up in a cupboard, where be remained three days without any covering, nor was he permitted to make use of his hands to eat his food ; it was one of the boys who used to feed him. The iron collar, which was put round the boy's neck, as well ai the whipcord lashes with which the boy had been flogged, were here produced, and excited strong feelings of horror. W. Bernsfer, the mate of the vessel, corroborated the boy's evidence. Surgeon Robert Hells, of Limehouse, stated, that about ten days ago, he examined the boy, and found several marks of severe laceration on his back; his wrists were ulcerated, evidently front the pressure of a ligature; the sinews of his knees were contractcd, the abdomen was hard, his health generally impaired—he was de bilitated and feverish. _ Mr. ast.i.surrant asked the prisoner what be had to say for him self?—The prisoner said, that he was really taken so unawares from his home, that he had not the benefit of having Counsel, or getting evidence, and hoped it would be adjourned fut a few days. Mr. BaLantarig said, the question of whether he was guilty or not, was not to be tried there ; bit he must say, t h at hom the evidence which was produced, a more atrocious act he never had the misfortune to hear. lie woold require furty-eight hour: notice of bail; and the bail be should require was tw•o wilt:tics tit £5O each. At liavannah the physicians immediately apply ice to every part of the body of persons attacked by the yellow fever . It has very generally succeeded. Last week, a helpless uld woman, in the parish of Crudest, daring the temporary absence of she family with which she lived, had her clothes kindled, and although her situation errs sons discovered, the poor wonsau was so muds scorched that she only survived the accident a few hours. The unfortunate sufferer w•rs in ber 90th year, of the name of Urquhart, and had a narrow escape from a like death is December last, when her bed was rem wed. and partly caught fire in consequence of au attempt to blow up :he house by gunpowder.
