DOVER, Nov. 14. Last misfit we experienced here an almost nnpre cedesseed storm of wind and rain. At one part of the town, Iliggin-street, at. the outskirts on the London road, dining the night the water came down from the hills behind, and collected in the small hollows. and at length burst through every restraint, and rushed in a torrent through the street; the grates of the common sewer soon became choked, and the watchman failing to alarm the neighbourhood, or to procure assistance, most dr the cellars were inundated to the ceilings. The *hole of to-day has been spent in pumpingrut the wa ter, and baling the cellars with buckets. The inconve nience suffered by many families is immense, but the real damage done is comparatively trifling to what might be excected. As tste wind blew right on shore, it was feared,inteligence from sea would be of a me- lancholy tendency ; the only accidents which have reached us ar yt.t are. that Nit of a trenching boat, wrecked, has beeniwashed ashore on the coast, and two ofl the sante description of vessels were this morning on the rocks at Calais, in a very precarious situation. On Sunday last, when the Duke of Devonshire arrived, the Collector of Customs waited on his Grace, in his official capacity, to inspelt the luggage ; and the domestic to whom was intrusted the shewing of the packages, instead of declaring what each contained, presented the keys, which were accordingly all made use of, and the usual search was gone through, when about 16001. worth of contraband goods were seized in the King's name.— More goods were amongst the luggage, for which duty was paid, the duty on which amounted to 201. No less than 26,593 slaves were embarked in Bra zilian vessels on the African coast, between the Ist of July, 1825, and Ist of July, 1826 ; of whom 1,540 are sea:ed to have died on their passage to Rio de Janeiro. A bear attached to one of the caravans at Blandford fa't last week, caught a sheep while passing near, and hugged the poor animal to death. •.‘ P 'bell which is on board of the steam boat Stave reigp,plying upon the river Clyde, belonged to the Old Church of Port Glasgow. It is a very elegant piece of workmanship, for the period in which it was cast. It bears this inscription—" Soli Deo Gloria, A.D. 1723." E,I4IOIRATION.—A General Meeting, to the number of nearly one thousand, of the Members of the Emigra tion Societies belonging to Glasgow, was held in the Lyceum Rooms, on Thursday evening, the 26th ult. obert Craig, weaver, in the Chair. The purport of the Meeting was to learn the result of certain conic fences held by Mr. Northhouse, on the part of the weavers, with his Majesty's Ministers, on the distress of the working classes in the West of Scittland; and what mode of relief was likely to be adopted by the Legisla ture, particularly whether or not a scheme of emigra tion to a considerable extent would be encout aged?— Mr. Northhouse, on his arrival from London, had been solicited to attend. He did so, and was received by a general burst of .applause. The information which he ftprished was, upon the whole, highly satisfactory, as, Isom the letters he read, and the information he gave. it appeared that certain influential members of his Ma jesty's Government were friendly to a plan of emigra tion, and that it was probable transports would be fit•ed out next Spring, provided the emigrants or their Asked: would furnish what else the.y might want, either from the assistance of the landed or commercial Gentlemen around them, or otherwise. On his retiring, certain resolutions were passed, the substance of which a to follow up the petitions to his Majesty, by peti tioning Parliament, representing their truly miserable condition, and praying for the means of emigration on a scale to meet their circumstances. It was also re solved that an address of thanks should be delivered to the Gentlemen whose unremitted exertions had been so .useful to them. Upon this occasion, it was observed, that however debased in their worldly circumstances the working classes in this city were, they had happily sufficient virtue left to be grateful (or services rendered. An interesting and singular case of murder is re potted in the French Papers to have been lately tried by the Court - of Assizes of the Ardennes. Jean Bap tiste Sergeot, formerly in the army, bad been con demned, in 1820, to five years hard labour, for in subordination to his Officers. His time of imprison ment having expired, he was liberated, and engaged himself as a labourer in the wool-manufacture at Sedan. Ile there conceived a violent passion for a young wo man named Mary Maim, likewise employed in the wool-manufacture. He offered her his hand, which he pretends she at first accepted, though she herself denied the statement. Certain it is that she after wards terulsed him. In his despair, Sergent formed the criminal resolution to avenge his sufferings on the object of his passion. He appears for sonic time to have struggled against this atrocious idea, and to have left Sedan. that i.e might not be tempted by the daily opportunity of being aNle to carry it into execution. He tom, however, returned to the same place, drawn by what be described an irresistible necessity ; and on the 22d of Jane, having purchased a table-knife, which he pointed and aliarpened, proceeded to the house of the young woman. l3eing denied admittance, he wen: to the house of one of her friends, where he fotaid her at.supccr. Coming in behind her, lie plunged the knife into her side. The alarm was given, but the assassin made no attempt to escape. He deliiered him. self up to the gendarmes, avowing that le had tom. wined the murder, hoping that he had done the work effectually, And only regretting that be had not bad a pair of pistol:--rune for himself and another for her.— Before the Judge of Instruction, he made no attempt to ceteact his former confession, or to bring forward circumstances to palliate the enormity of his crime. He shewed the same. demeanour, and made the same avowals, on his wills The Jury returned an unanimous verdict of guilty. He refused to appeal to the Court of Cassation tiU Ou last moment, though the Jury had re commended bins to. mercy. He did, I owever, ac last allow an appeal, which has not yet been disposed of. The phrase " to stumble at the threshold," originated in the circumstance that the old thresholds or steps un der the door, were, like the hearths, raiseal a. little, so that a person might stumble over Ult.lll, uuluss proper care were taken. A very whimsical reason for this practice is given in a curious little tract by Sir BAL. TuAzAat (iguana, entitled," Council cod Advice to all chillers. 1663," itt.trie,e words:—' A good surveyor shwa also the ordering el domes with dairablim,g thresh olds, though our forefathers asffect.al perchance to perpetuate the ancient cu,tonse of bridegroomes, whoa t• rasely at their return horn Church they did are to litt up their bride, and to knock her head against that of Ara .Jo re, for a. remembrance, that she w.-s m to pass the thresh-1J of her house without their leave." ' CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY. The intere-tine ce•emony of opening the General Convocation of the Cle:gy, which is consequrr t *upon the Meeting of a New Parliament, toik place yesterday. At an early hour the Judges, Civilians, and Proctors of the Ecclesiastical Court, proceeded from their Hall at Doctors' Commons, to the Chapterhonse, St. Paul's Church-yard, where his Grace the Archbishop of CAN- TiRsuKT, the Lord Bishop of Losonos, and a considera ble number of the Ciergy had already assembled. About eleven o'clock the procession proceeded to Sr. Paul's in the following order : Marshal. Mice Ream& Two Gentlemen of the Archbishop of (teat tarp's Hossebell, in Court dresses. Ills Grace the Lord Primate, weeded by a Tvels.bearen Four of the Lord Primate's Chajhine. Vergers. The Bishop of London. The Bishop of London's Chaplains. The Clergy of the Diocese. Purutivant. The Judge of the Coosistory Court (Sir J. Nieholl). The King's Advocate (Sir C. Robinson), and Dr. Arnold. The Advocates of the Ecclesiastical Courts, two and two. Proctors and other Dithers of the EeclesiasticalCourts, two tate two. Screams of the Ecclesiastical Court. In this order the procession moved from the Chapter House to the great western entrance of the Cathedral, when it was joined by the Bishop of Llandaff, the Ca nons residentiary of St. Paul's, the choristers and the officers and servants of the Cathedral. Having arrived in the chancel, the Lead Primate, the Bishop of London, and the other Dignitaries, took t►eir places, and the service of the Church was read in Latin by the Bishop of Liandalf. The service having been concluded, a very excellent Latin sermon was , preached by Dr. Monck, the Very Rev. Dean of Peterborough. Of this discourse, which was composed with great elegance and purity of style, the Catholic claims, formed, as might have been expected, the prominent feature. In allusipn to 'ate Parliamentary inquiry, which took place in both Houses, the preacher in-, sisted sttongly on the proofs derived from the evidence , of the claimants themselves, that the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church were not, as has been alleged, ameliorated and softened down by time, but that their nature was unchanged and unchangeable. With respect to the Irish Catholics more especially, he maintained that in pressing their remonstrances they were urged on ' by their priests, whom he characterized as a class of men, guibus xunquans languet industria, tongue* rkteit, solertia' and who,:masking their real designs under the pretence of consulting the common good, were princi pally actuated by the desire of aggrandizing the Church of Rome. In conclusion, he called upon his Reverend Brethren not to relax their vigilance, but to continue to deprecate any measures which might operate to produce a change in the religion which their predecessors had suffered so much to establish, and to continue instant with Parliament. "Ne in cursum tonere ruaxt uxde n:411u: reditus detur." On the conclusion of the sermon, his Grace the Primate pro nounced the benediction (the usual anthem being from some cause omitted.) and the procession returned in the aim order as it had wired. Saturday the whole of the silver spoons placei on the market table at the Crown Inn, Sudbury, were stolen by some yet undiscovered thief. It has been determined, we understand, by the Manu facturers' Relief Committee, not to make any further appeal to the public at present. Tuesday an eagle was shot by a man of the name of Osborn. of North Somercoates, near the sea, the length of which, from the tip of each wing, was seven feet and a half, from the beak to the tail three feet, and weigh ing nine pounds. The state of the ground allotted for the present hack ney coach stand, near the King's Mews, is quite deplo rable. The poor horses stand fetlock deep in mud. ' The provincial papers contain numerous accounts of accidents, many fatal, and all more or less serious, an. sing from the silly and mischievous mode still persevered in, of celebrating the fifth of November. Two portmanteaus, belonging to a family of disthic tion, were some time age lest from among their lug gage, in a steam-boat, between Prance and D over, for the recovery of which every active measure was threat ened to be adopted, and the loss estimated at 1501. two shawls alone being valued at 801.; en Monday, how ever, the portmanteaus were discovered in a part of the vessel which had hitherto escaped search. • On being opened, the duty on the two shawls being refused to be paid as valued at,601. they were submitted to the usual mode of valuation, when they were declared to be worth forty-six shillings ! Wednesday se'nnight, a youth, Charles Blake, accom plished the foolish and dangerous feat of clambering outside the spire of All Saint. Church, Stamford, to its Himont, when, having fastened his neckerchief to the weather vane as a token of his prowess, he descended. The crew of the Albion, Graham, of Leith, which was picked up at sea, abandoned, last week. are on board the Eiina, also from Rotterdam to Leith, and belonging to the same Company. The two vessels bad come in contact, and the Albion received such damage by the collision, that the crew were taken on board the Edina. The latter vessel also sustained damage, and has been assisted into Harwich. The cargo of the Albion. has been landed at. Yarmouth. When Santeuil was at Dijon, in 1697, previous to the opening of the States General, whither he accompanied the Duke de Bourbon, he Made a journey to Citeaux. After having examined, with the most lively satisfac. tion, that celebrated monastery, he turned to his con• ductors and said, in the bantering tone which was fami liar to him, " Let me see, I pray you, the Hall of In dolence, which Boileau describes in his Liitrin."— " Indolence used to lodge here formerly," replied one of the Monks, 46 but to-day Folly has taken her place." Santeuil died at Dijon the same year. The Emperor Aurelian having arrived before the City of Tyanus, and having found its gates closed, snore in his, anger, that he would not leave even a dog alive in this rebellious city. This soldiers rejoiced be forehand in the hope of making great booty, The city was taken ; and Aurelian said to his troops, (who were entreating him to keep his oatl.) 11 I have sworn not to leave a single dog in this.city—quick then, kill every one, but, on pain of death, huit not the inhabitants." Two countrymen, leaiding at the village of Brandon, were, at the meeting of Nlagistrates at Durham on &tut day, bound by tecognizatice CO am:war at the neu General Quarter Stssions of the Peace, to take their trial for committing an assault on a ranter preacher. It ap. peals the rustics had been indulging in their cups in cclebratipn of the gunpowder plot, the sth November, when they enci.untered the preacher on. tin it toad, oho took occasion to rate them on the wickedness of their wag s, and te.eivesta striking answer for his 44 good TOLICE I NTLNI,LIGENCE. • HATTON. GA RDEN—(Tnis DAY). A recpectsble-looking man, named Ride, *as brought up from the watchhouw, charged with a most wanton assault. committed by Mm an the person of a married woman, named Burns, List night, In Holborn. It appears that about half-past seven o'clock last evening, the complainant and her husband, and several other friends, were pro ceeding along Holborn ; Mrs. Burns was walking rather ahead of her husband, and while thus unprotected, the defendant came up to her, and accosted her in a very ungentlemanly manner, and pro ceeded to insult her most grossly. She desired him to desist, or she should call her husband ; whereupon he struck her a dreadful blow with his fist between the eyes, which nearly closed them up. The husband and his friends immediately ran to her assistance, and seized the defendant, who fought desperately, and it was not till several watchmen came up that he could he overpowered and taken to the watchhouse. Mrs. Burns, who is a native of the Sitter Kingdom, drew her pocket handkerchief from her face, and her eyes presented a dreadful man of discelouration, and her nose also was bruised, and very much swollen. Several persons who saw the assault committed stepped forward, and said that they never saw a man so violent in all their lives as the defendant. He was very much in liquor indeed. The defendant denied having struck the plaintiff at all, and said that she received the injuries to her face in the general scuffle; he himself had received a black eye front her patty. The Magistrate said that it was a mast unmanly assault, and ordered the defendant to find bail, to answer the charge at the Se ss ions.— W e understand the matter was afterwards compromised. Information was given at this office of a daring burgfary, that was committed on the premises of Mr. Richard Wilson, the snuff manufacturer, N.. 212, Strand, on Sunday evening last. The thieves, it appears, entered by means of skeleton keys, and carried off a quantity of Meerchaunt pipes mounted with green tassels; a quantity of Scotch snuff.bozes manufactured at Cumnock ; a quart. Sky Of painted Brunswick boxes, by Stobwasser; a quantity of painted Fsnglish boxes, by Raven ; and a quantity of wearing ap. parel, ate. to a large amount. The officers were ordered to be on the alert for the burglars. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, Captain Sinclair was brought up again, when two Medical Gentlemen attended, and declared the invalid was going on tavouraMy. One of them, the Gentleman who gave his evidence on the first examination, said it was very improbable that fatal conse quences would ensue. The Loan Maros admitted the Captain to bail in the common sums, two of ,C2O, and himself i n , C4O . The Captain pi oduced a legal document, giving him notice from the invalid of an action to recover damages for the injury he bad sustained. The Captain said, that front the first be believed the whole to be an attack upon his pocket. This last proceeding con vinced him of it. A poor wretched looking woman complained of the conduct of tbe parish oaken of Bishopsgare.street. She said she had four children, for whom she generally gitt a livelihood by winding silk; she was now, however, out of work, and two of her children being sick and helpless, she applied to the parish officers for relief. 'fhey had given her relief before, but they now positively refused to give her anything. The Overseer said, they had given this woman six shillings per week : but when she last came for relief, instead of begging as she ought, she positively demanded it in such an insolent manner, that they thought themselves bound to reject the application. The LORD MAYOR••••I beg distinctly to be understood by parish officers, and all persons, when I say, that the poor are not bound to beg for relief ; they have as much right to it assay of 'shave to the property which we may enjoy. The Overseer—Yes, my Lord; but they should ask foe it in a proper manner. The Loas hteiroa—Certainly they ought; but considerable al lowances must be made for their ignorance, and they must not be expected at all times to act with the same decorum as persons of education. In what 1 have said, Ido not wish to be moldered as making any harsh observations on the Overseers of this parish. —lt is very large, and the poor, I know, are numerous and un fortunate. 1 GUILDHALL. Mr. itarktoo, a fishmonger, in Holborn, appeared to answer the complaint of Neale, the porter at Gerard's Hall Inn, for refusing to pay for the carriage of a parcel of woodcocks, which had ar rived by the Royal Devon coach. Mr. Stapletoa's objection was, that the parcel was expressly di rected to be brought by the North Devon coach, by whit.) he should have had his woodcocks full twenty-four lours earlier, and of noun in better order for sale, and also at a lower charge. Sir Pecan Lague decided that he had nothing to de with the direction, or with how the parcel got into the Royal Devon coach. The carriage was due to the Royal Devon ; and if there was any trickery it must rest with the book-keeper in the country. The defendant was ordered to pay the demand, with costa, and for the porter's loss of time. Messrs. Gray, pawnbrokers, In Fleet-street, were summoned for refusing to account for the 'surplus of a forfeited pledge, over Ifis. after deducting the loan, profit, and expenses of sale. A Mr. &ockdale, a literary Gentleman, stated, that be pledged two volumes of Portraits of British Posts for li. in July, MISS, and not redeem ing them, they were sold by auction for three guineas. He acci dentally saw the volumes in a bookseller's window at Knights bridge, and ascertained this fact, and on applying for a sight of the entry of the sale, or the overplus, after deducting the loan and charges, he was refused and Insulted. Messrs. Gray's assistant admitted receiving 31. Is. for the books, but alter deducting the 11. lent, Ss. the year's interest, and Ss. com mission, he wished to set off the rest against loss on the sale of other goods of Mr. Stockdale's. ' Sir decided they had no right to make any suck set eff, and r ordered the surplus to be paid to Mr. Stockdale. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, Rioiood Ails ld and Rickert' Awn, two young men, who appeared in a destitute state, were brought before G. E. Moo sow., Esq. charged with breaking into the premises of Mr. Samp son, who keeps an Academy at Kentish Town, and stealing therein various dresses, belonging to some of the pupils of the prosecutor. Two constables of Kentish Town stated, that about two o'clock that morning they saw the prisoners lurking about amend house, and suspecting their intention was to commit felony, they watched them, and saw them cross the fields in a direction leading from 11r. Sampson's premises. In their possession they bad bundles, containing the articles produced. Mr. Sampson and his pupils Identified the property, which had been stolen from a school room, adjoining the prosecutor's house. The constables also produced some wet linen which they found in the possession of the prisoners. Mr. Patten, the next door neighbour of Mr. Sampson, stated that.the linen WWI his property; it was placed in his garden the preceding night. The prisoners wire fully committed upon both charges. A young map, attired in the dress of prisoners confined in the House of Correction,, cams before Sir liscuaao Butunt, and air. pealed to his humane feelings for the purpose of obtaining a supply of 'ash, to carry him to Gravesend, to go on board a ship lying there. The applicant said to Sir Ilmintao, "My name is Wilmot, I am the son of the Princess of Cumberland, and 1 have been dis charged from prison without a penny in my pocket, and I wish to go to sea." Sir It. Beams looked' at the young man for some time, and said, " When you said your name was Wilmot, I thought so; your eye, your nose, and all your features strongly resemble the lady you call mother." Tito young man said, he must go to sea or die for want.—Sir Barns gave him some silver, and advised him to go to sea as soon as possible. Sir R. Amos said that some charitable Lady had sent him a note, inclining two pounds, which she had humanely contributed to the worthy Magistrate's poor bon. QUEEN-SQUARE. A young man, named George Piggott►, collecting clerk to Messrs. LyaU and Son, of the Swan Brewery, Chelsea, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, amounting to upwards of 4001. the property of his employers.—The case brought against him was for embezzling the 'sum of SOL which it was proved he had received from Mr.llooper, of the King's Arms, Shepherds`-market, and which he had not accounted for to his employers. He declined saying any thing in hie defence, and was remanded for a further examination. MARY•LA•BONNE Lots AND IdirsTeay.—YeAerday, a young Lady was charged with hating entered a Gentleman's house in Nottingham Placa, with a taxes, and the intention of murdering him and contmitting *Weide.. _ The Gentleman was well acquainted with the Lady ; but their intimacy had never gone to an improper length, and she had no possible claim upon hint, yet ..he was constantly annoying him; hie therefore should pray fur relief. The young, Lady admitted the truth of the statement, but said, that• if all the circumstances of the case were known, be would cut La.still more ridiculous figure than she did herself. She however lat. ent to rerew the smoyance s and not to conmet ca: t o t e, and was accordingly discharged. A cotnnutnication wu made to Mr. RAWLII3OII by a Peac e . °Sher of the City, which is likely to give a further insight into the mysterious circumstance attending the highway robbery commit. red on the night of the 7th inst. near the top of Gunnersbury.lane, on the Breinford Road. He stated, that on Monday the 6th instant, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, a man, nu ) gave his name John Dunn, eras brought to Giltspur.st feet Cumpter, by one of the patrol, charged with being drunk and disorderly iu Lombard-street. Agreeably to the standing order of the Governer, he was searched; he had two sovereigns and nine shillings in his waistcoat pockets, which he said was all the money be po*sessed; he had no watch, but snmetbiug hard being felt in his watch-pocket, which was sewed up, the turekey cut it open; he found in it a small bag also sewed up, which contained 61 sovereigns and half ; the money was retained by the officer until the next morning, when the party was taken to the Mansion-house. He told the Lord Mayor that the money was his own, for he had earned it; it was reamed to him : he was Stied foe being drunk, and discharged. He had a stupid appearance, which might have arisen from ha intoxication ; he appeared very shy about his money; he was about five feet six inches high, wot e a blue coat, a light waistcoat, and light breeches or pantaloons, and spoke with an Irish accent; his hat was low in the crown, and had a narrow brim. As the mart above described was discharged at the Mansion-hots* nn the morn ing of the 7th, and the robbery took place on the evening of the same day, the officer thought it likely to he the same man, particu. lady as the description of his person, and the amount of his pro. petty, so nearly corresponded. Mr. Nimmons' thanked him for the information, and requested him to follow up the inquiry.
