AN ADVENTURE OF SIR HUMPHRY DAVY. " The fall of the Traun is a cataract, which when the giver is full, may be almost compared to that of Schaff hausen for magnitude, and possesses the same peculiar characters of grandeur in the precipitous rush of its awful and overpoivering waters, and of beauty in the tints of its streams and foam, and in the forms of the rocks over which it falls, and the cliffs and woods by which it is overhung. In this spot an accident, which had nearly been fatal to me, occasioned the - renewal of my acquaint.. awe in an extr aordinary manner with the mysterious' unknown stranger. Eubathes, who was eery fond of By-fishing, was amusing himself by catching • graylings for our dinner in the stream above the fall. I. took one of the boats, which are used for descending the canal or lock artificially cut in the rock by the side of the tall, ea which salt and wood are usually transported from tipper Austria to the Danube ; and I desired two of the peasants to assist my servant in permitting the boat to descend by a rope to the level of the river below ; my iptention was to amuse myself by this rapid species of locomotion along the descending sluice. For some mo menta the boat glided gently along the smooth current, and I enjoyed the biauty of the moving scene around me, and had my eye fixed upon the bright rainbow seen upon the spray of the cataract shove my head, when I was suddenly roused by a shout of alarm from my servant, ana looking round, I saw that the piece of wood to which the rope had been attached had given way and the boat was floating down the river at the mercy of the stream. I was not at first alarmed, for I saw that my assistants were procuring long poles with which it appeared easy to arrest the boat before it entered the rapidly descending water of the sluice, and I called out to them to use their united force to reach the longest pole across the water that I might be able to catch the end of it in my hand, and at this moment I felt perfect security ; but a breeze of wind suddenly came down the valley and blew from the nearest bank ; the boat was turned by it out of the side current and thrown nearer to the middle of the river, and I soon saw that I was likely to be precipitated over the cataract. My servant and the boatmen rushed into the water, but it was too deep to enable them to reach the boat; I was soon in the white water of the de scending stream, and my danger was inevitable. I had presence of mind enough to consider, whether my chance of safety would be greater by throwing myself out of the boat, or by remaining in it, and I preferred the latter expedient. 1 looked from the rainbow upon the bright sun above my head, as if taking leave for ever of that glorious luminary ; I raised one pious aspiration to the divine source of light and life ; I was immediately stunned by the thunder of the fall and my eyes were closed in darkness. How long I remained insensible I know not ; my first recollections after this accident were of a bright light shining above me, of warmth and pressure in dif ferent parts of my body, and of the noise of the rushing cataract sounding in my ears. I seemed awakened by the light from a sound sleep, and endeavoured to recall my scattered thoughts, but in vain ; I soon fell again into slumber. From this second sleep, I was awakened by a voice which seemed not altogether unknown to me, and looking upwards, I saw the bright eye and noble counte nance of the Unknown Stranger whom I had met at Pzestum. I faintly articulated lam in another world.' No,' said the stranger, you are safe in this ; you are a little bruised by your fall, but you will soon be well ; be tranquil and compose yourself.' The next day I learnt from the Unknown the history of my escape, which seemed almost miraculous to me. He said that he was fishing, the day that my accident happened, below the fall of the Traun, for that peculi it species of the large salmon of the Danube which fortunately for me is only to be caught by very strong tackle. He saw, to his very great astonishment and alarm, the boat and my body pre cipitated by the fall, and was so fortunate as to entangle his hooks in a part of my dress when I had been scarcely more than a minute under water, and by the assistance of his servant, who was armed with the gaff or curved kook for landing large fish, I was safely conveyed to the shore, undressed, put in a warm bed, and by the modes of restoring suspended animation, which were familiar to him, I soon recovered my sensibility and con sciousness."—Sir Hunphry Davy's Last Days of a Philosopher. ANECDOTES OF FUSEL!. In a pecuniary point of view Fuseli's pictures of the Milton Gallery were unproductive; but the praise which the attempt and much of the execution obtained grad fied.the painter, nor was be unwilling to believe, that, like the poem which they embellished, they would have but an age of oblivion and many centuries of light. They were all visible, he said, to his fancy before he painted them. He pondered over the poet till he was fully possessed with the character of the scene ; the figures which belonged to it appeared as it were in a vision : but he nevertheless complained of the splendour in which his fancy invested them, and declared that he could not paint up to his imagination. In comparing those splendid fictions with living nature, he was struck, he often said, with the lamentable deficiencies of the latter ; yet conscious that by nature he must be tried and judged, he was heard to exelaim in a fit of peevishness, " Damn Nature !—she always puts me out." He had sometimes the curiosity to walk into the Milton Gallery after it was opened to the public, as it was never very crowded, he could look at his works without much fear of interruption. One day a visitor accosted him, mis taking hilt for the keeper. " Those paintings, Sir, are from Paradise Lost, I hear, and Paradise Lost was written by Milton—l hays never read the poem, but I shell read it now." " I would not advise you, Sir," said the sar castic artist, " you will find it an exceedingly tough job." In the original sketch of the guardian angels for saking our first parents after the fall, they were repre sented rising on wings. He looked earnestly at his sketch, and exclaimed—for he generally thought aloud— `! They shall rise without wings." He tried and sue ceedeti. Fuseli was, on the whole, liked as Keeper of the Royal 'Academy. It is true that be was often satiric and se vere on the students—that he defaced their drawings by corrections which, compared to their weak and trembling lines, seemed traced by a tar-mop, and that he called them tailors and bakers, and vowed that there was more genius in the claw of one of Michael Angelo's eagles than in all the heads with which the' Academy was swarming. The youths on whom this tempest of invec tive fell—and the Keeper, pleased by submission, walked Rto each as a word of advice onfides- Sally, and retired in peace to enjoy the company of Ole Homer, Michael Angelo, Dante, enjoy. the Likory, No. X.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE BIGHT HON. GEORGE TIERNEY. M. P. Yesterday afterooon, at four o'clock, an inquest was held before J. H. Gan., Req. Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, at the home of Mr. Ratcliffe, the White Hone Tavern, at the corner of Regent -street, and New Barlington.street, on the body of the Right Honoarable George Tierney, M.P. aged 74, whom death took place in the manner detailed by the following witnesses : Lieut.-Colonel Phipps, being sworn, said—Last Monday be tween the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, I had been conversing with Mrs. 'Tierney in the drawing-room of the des ceased's house; I proceeded to the library to speak to Mr.llerney. On entering, I saw him sitting in his chair, in the attitude of sleep. When I entered the library, I saw no one than but the deceased. The servant told me that his master was asleep; I was struck with his pale countenance, and I withdrew, lento the servant to approach his master. The servant almost immediately came back to me, and said he was afraid his master was dead. I immediately returned, and closely looking at him, found he had ceased to breathe; I instantly sent for medical assistance, and attempted to loosen Isis neckcloth. Usk his forehead and bands, and found them nearly cold. In a few minutes Mr. Cutler, a medical gentleman, came, but in the interim I commanlcated to Mrs. Tierney that I thought the deceased was in a fit. Coaonea—Did the surgeon do any thing la your presence ? Witness—hecalled for some brandy. I had not been In the house more than a quarter of an hour. It was at Mrs. 's sus geodes that I went to the deceased, who had net the least Idea that he was in an ill state dhealtb. She was not aware that be was in the house at the time. William Pritchard being sworn, said, 1 was butler to the deceased. In his service two years. On Monday morning last about a quarter before nine o'clock, I saw the deceased in his dressing-room— he then appeared quite as well as he usually did— be dressed himself, and bad his breakfast about half. past ten o'clock, his family having breakfasted, but were present In the room. Shortly afterwards be retired to his study. I saw him two or three times in the course of the morning. After kis breakfast be rang for me to settle the weekly accounts, and be appeared to be as well as I have seen him for some time past.— No one visited him in the course of the morning but Colonel Phipps. I had not left the deceased man than ten minutes previously to my introducing Colonel Phipps, and when I left him he appeared to be well. and was welting a note, and with no appearance whatever of sleep, drowsiness. or any kind of illness. I entered the study, and announced Col. Phipps, who was close behind me, and to my utter astonishment be seemed to be in a sound deep. which made me exclaim to Colonel Phipps, " Oh, my master is asleep." I announced Colonel Phipps again, but received no answer. I then proceeded near to the deceased, and exclaimed, "My master is dead." Medical assistance wan sent for, and two or three gentlemen came in the course of five _minutes. Mr. Cutler was mm for by the Jury. Dr. James Johnson deposed that he attended the deceased pro fessionally during the last slit or seven years. His disease was an organic complaint, or eolargentent of the heart. The deceased's body was opened on Tuesday last, in my presence, by Mr. Petti grew and Mr. Johnson (my son). and it was proved that the disease was what it had long been suspected to be...namely, enlargement and organic disease of the bean, andperanns labouring under such (Hoene almost always die nuidesily. lam of opinion that be died from natural causes, from the disease under which he laboured. Them was an lacish made on the breach of the temporal artery— It was &seat the sugmetionlof Mrs.Tierney,but withset any hope. Mr. Thomas Joseph Pettigrew surgeon, of Saville-row, being sworn, said—On Tuesday last I ;lambed the body atlas deceased with Mr. Johnson. I found mosklerable &ease en the chest and the heart, especially on the right side, to which his death is an. questionably attributable. The mode of death on this occasion is such as is usual in cases of this description. Mr. Edward Cutler, of &Menlo -street, surgeon. being swam, said, I am a surgeon—l was seat for to attend the deceased last Monday, about three o'clock—l west blatantly ;on my arrival I found the deceased sitting in his chair in his study quite dqd.-- Bans lady in the house, I know not whom, but I believe Mrs. Tierney, urged me to try to bleed bias, and merely to pacify her mind, which was in a state of great excitement, 1104100 ml to , open a temporal artery, but no blood issued, and I was perfectly saddled in my own mind that be was quite dead, and nothing what ever meld restore him. Juror—When the gentlemen opened the body. did they And the stomach contain any thing ? Mr. Pettigrew—The stomach was not opened, as the cheat en 'Whited evidences of disease quite sullicitnt to tame deitis NAVA*, coupled with the circumstance of no symptoms of his having taken any thing wrong appearing, was corruboradve that he died from natural causes. The Coroner and Jury proceeded to view the body of the de. ceased, which lay shrouded in his coot, in the library of his own. house, flaville.eow. His countenance was remarkably placid, and indicated that be must have died without • straggle. The Jury. on their return, delivered till following verdict : " That tho dammed died a natural death by the visitation of God— that is to say, an enlargement of the heart." A woman lately tried at Paris, on a charge of swind ling, was acquitted on an objection taken by her counsel that there was " no legal proof of the death of Nap leon"—a fact which it was necessary to establibh on. the part of the prosecution. A most daring outrage was committed on a geatiman is Aidgate, on Tuesday evening, about half-past eiSt olbek, as he was crossing the end of Houndeditch. 4 temporary stoppage occasioned by the passing of a amcit aid a cart, caused several persons to collect es each side ft street, after which a rush was made, and. in a up. lama his pocket-book was cut from his breast rob ot. altissegb be had a great coat buttoned over it both &es tie coats.

Mr. Sergeant TADS! applied to here the verdict o►tained in this case set aside, upon the ground that cenaln depositions were not admitted by the Court, which should base been admitted; sad also upon the potted that the verdict was contrary to evidence. There were two trials in the case—in the first instance. a verdict was returned fur the plaintiffs; in the latter, for the defendant& The bankrupt, Mr. Sherwin. was a bookseller, residing in the year 1611 in Paternester-row. and various acts of bankruptcy were posed by the evidence given for the plaintiff. He (Mr. Sergeant I Teddy) offered in evidence the depositions of a shopkeeper of Sher win (the individual himself being dead), which were made by him before the Commisdoners, upon whose testimony Sherwin was de clared a bankrupt ; bet his learned Friend (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) objected to them, and they were refused to be adegued in evi dence. Now he contended that by the Mid clause of the 6th of Geo. IV. they ought to be admitted. He pressed this point upon the attention of the Court. The Learned Sergeant here read the clause is qeestion, and called the particular attention of the Court to it. He thus promeded to show that the verdict was in opposi tion to the evidence.
