DENMARK. MILITARY TAUGHT TO SWIM IN UNIFORM. TROM THE TRAVELS 07 Wit. RAI WILSON, ESQ. F.A.S. Am - ng the judicious regulations laid down in the Danish army, there is one that it is impos,ible to pass over unnoticed—namely, instructing the men in the art of swimming. They are occasionally made to plunge into the sea in uniform, with their knapsacks on their back, and to buoy themselves up with muskets over their heads, so as to be able to discharge , them. This 1 , is unquestionably a most excellent practice to prepare' them for military operations in fording rivers. I had occasion to see many of the cadets in Copenhagen , marching in a body to the sea, as to an Ecole de nata tion, to be taught the art. This manly exercise appears to be an imitation of what constituted part of the edu cation of youths in the time of the Greeks and Ro mans. In fact, it was among these people an ordinary expres , ion when they meant to speak in contemptuous terms of any individual to say, " that he had neither learned to read nor swim." Man, it may be remarked, is the only animal who has occasion to learn this exer. cise, since all others swim naturally ; and it may be in general remarked, that we find those near the sea, and whose countries are intersected with canals and rivers, are well skilled in it, while others living more inland are ignorant of the art. This exercise was particularly recommended by Dr. Franklin, who observes, that sol ders in particular should be taught to swim ; and after giving an opinion that boys should also be learned, he says, " if 1 had many boys to educate, I should prefer those schools where an opportunity was afforded of ac quiring so advantageous an art." These considerations would lead me to suggest the propriety of submitting to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, whose name is so dear to every English sol dier, and who has used such indefatigable exertions in bringing the British army to its present high and ad mirable pitch of perfection, how far it would be proper to issue an order that every soldier should be taught to swim, since the most important effects might result from it during a state of warfare ; independent of which it is most beneficial to their health, and is an art, in short, that when once learned, is never forgotten. James Sbrt, alias Country► Jens, lately broke out of prison at Bedford, but has been taken, and sent to his old quarters. Jem was over his pipe when spoken to, and made a most desperate resistance. A Cheltenham Paper says, the body of a rich Israel ite, who died at one of the most distinguished hotels in that town, was lately taken to London, neatly' cased in lead, on the roof of a stage-coach, at the contract price of Ss. per pound. Such is the increase of crime in Nottingham, that 26 years ago, the average number of those confined in the House of Correction was only three, while at this time the average is 90 confined in that prison. A number of hands are now employed in removing the rare exotic and indigenous plants, belonging to his MAJESTY, from the gardens of Carltoa.palace, to the grounds attached to the new Palace, in St. James's park. The seeds of the sunflower are a most nutritious and agreeable f.)nd for game and poultry. If given with barley, it will generally be found that the sunflower sees will be picked out by the chicken. As trades are in the habit of congregating in differ. ent pat is of the town, a punster suggests that the setup stresses should take up their abode In fiemming's-row. Friday, a clerk in the house of Mr. Warner, an emi nent tea-dealer, in Rood-lane, absconded, taking with him, of his master's money, between 7001. and 800/. with which he had been intrusted. He had, it is sa'd, planned, with another young man, a clerk in a public office, to go to France with the booty. Soon after the former left the house of his employers, it was suspected that he did not intend to return, and officers were em ployed to search after him. The clerk in the public office arrived at Dover at the appointed time, but soot) afterwards learned that the officers were in the same place on the look-out for his friend. He forth .vith returned to town, and gave up the sum of 751. which he bad received from has friend, into the hands of those to whom it justly belonged. The unfortunate principal in this transaction was soon afterwards apprehended in Dover. He is a young man of respectable connexions. Tuesday, about half-past seven in the morning, a man went with a cart to Messrs. Oliver's uear Fal mouth, to get a load of lime, when not finding the old man who was employed as lime-burner at work, he proceeded to the dwelling-house adjoining, to inquire for him. The door was shut, and not being able to make any one hear, after repeated calls and knocking, he broke open the door, when a thick cloud of smoke immediately issued from the house. Alarmed at to unusual a circumstance, he procured the assistance of two other men, and entered the house, in which they found a woman who officiated as housekeeper to the old man (who is a widower) senseless, with a candle in her hand. It is supposed, that just before she intended to get into bed, she was seized with a fit, and set fi , e to the clothes, which smouldered, there being no chim ney in the room, and filled the house full of smoke. The woman, and a child which was with her, were im mediately removed into the open air, but the child was quite dead, and the woman was so dreadfully burnt that she died the same day. The old man and his son were also found quite senseless, and nearly dead from suffocation, but it is hoped that they will recover. One of the Fire Offices has the following in one of its prospectuses:-" When a female discovers her dress to be on fire, she runs screaming about the room, and if no one is there to assist her, she opens the room door, and rushes to the head of the stairs for assistance. By' this action of the lighted clothes, and of the air, the greatest rapidity and fierceness are given to the fire, and the face, neck, and arms, become almost instantly enveloped in flames. Now, when a female finds her clothes on fire, she ought instantly to drop on the floor at full length ;if she can do so on a hearth-rug or louse carpet, and wrap it round her, the fire will be imme diately extinguished: If there be not these things at hand, she should turn over till the part un fire be un dermost, and then press her clothes .to the floor with her hands. If her clothes are on fire all round, she must turn over and over again. The portion of dress underneath her person, by pressure, will be extinguish ed, and the portion abov e it will burn feebly and harm lessly, compared to what it does when the sufferer is running about. If there be any one in the room, drop down as before ; the assistant must then throw a car pet, rug, woollen shawl, or cloak, or man's coat, or the like, over her, and press it closely, until the flame be extinguished.", Pr RAMSGATE, Strr. 19. This fashionable watering-place, notwithstanding the pressure of the times, still continues occupied by a gr, at deal of good company, attracted hither by its salubri ous air, its fine bathing, and the pretty walks and rides in the vicinity. In addition to which its noble pier together with the Light-house Obelisk, and other build. ings, both useful and ornamental, form a combination rarely to be met with at a watering-place. New build ings are springing up on all sides of the town, and a beautiful Gothic Church is now nearly completed. Yesterday was the annual meeting of the Trus tees of the Harbour, when, after transacting the business' of the day, and viewing the progress of the works, and the effects of the new sluices on the her bow., they proceeded in a body, with Sir Wm. Curtis at -their head, to open, in due form, a very elegant light of steps constructed in cut masonry, to replace the ; wooden structure called Jacob's Ladder, now fallen into decay, and, consequently, dangerous; when, after the gates were thrown open, and the public permitted to ascend, a very appropriate speech, describing the nature and objects of the work, was delivered by the worthy Baronet, amidst the applause and cheers of the surrounding multitude, consisting of all the beauty and fashion of Ramsgate, and the aril ticers belonging to the port. The evening was concluded by a sumptuous dinner at the Pier-house, to a select party, consisting of Sir W. and Mr. Curtis, the Elder Brethren of the Tri nity-house, as Trustees ; and for guests, of Lord Shaftesbury, the Dean of Carlisle, Sir Thomas Grey, Mr. Manning, M.P. Mr. Wane, M.P. Mr. Sergeant Addams,' Mr. L. Boyd, and several distinguished visitors. CORONERS' INQUEST& -.40- Yesterday an Inquest was held at the King's Arms. Parker• street, Drury-lane, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. en the body of William Pitt, a very eccentric and well known character in the parish of St. Giles. James Spencer stated, that he lodged in the house of the de ceased, who only occupied the upper attic; that on Sunday morning, finding he did not come down stairs as usual, the lodgers supposed something was amiss.— After knocking at his door, and receiving no answer ; they broke it open, when they found the deceased in his bed, without any spat k of life, and quite cold. Witness slept underneath, and heard him about two o'clock in the morning get up, and open his window, as was his usual custom. Deceased enjoyed an excellent state of health, and had been Beadle of St. Giles's parish for 25 years. Several of• the Jury said, they bad spoken to the deceased the previous evening, and he was then in giscid health and spirits.—Caroline Smith, another lodger, deposed, that deceased went to bed about 11 o'clock on Saturday evening; he came to her room and requested a light; he was then as well as she ever re. ' 1 membered him. He appeared to have died without a struggle. Verdict—Died by the visitation of Gum Yesterday se'nnight, an Inquisi:ioa was taken before G. Gwynne, Esq. at Turner's Hill, in the parish of Worth, Sussex, on view of the body of Eliz. Clifton, the wife of Henry Clifton, bailiff to General Cartwright, of the Grove House, who, on Monday week, was unhap pily killed by the accidental discharge of her husband's gun. It appeared in evidence that Clifton and a friend of his, who had called upon him, having agreed on going out to shoot rabbits, the -former went up stairs, and brought his gun from the bed•roorn into the kitchen, where he proceeded to brush the dust from the pan of the lock, and finding the lock did not move so freely as it should de, stooped down to remedy the defect, by loosening its screw, when by some means his gun ex ploded, and Mt s. Clifton, who was stand ng in an op posite direction, with her back towards the gun, received the whole of its contents in the calves of her legs, which were dreadfully lacerated, and particularly the left leg, the bones of which, a little a'-ove the ankle joint, were shattered to pieces , . Able surgical assistance was quickly procured, when an amputation of the shattered limb, a little below the knee, was determined upon; but before the operation could be commenced, an extreme hemor rhage put a period to her sufferings, as she expired about four hours after the accident. Verdict—Acci dental Death, with a deodand of ss. on the gun. The husband of the deceased stated, that he did not know the gun was loaded, although he usualiy kept it so in his bedroom, for the prote:tion of his master's property. Mrs. Clifton was a woman much respected in her situ ation, and of a very delicate constitution. Commodore HAMILTON is said to have arrived at Tine with a Commissioner from the English merchants, to make a rigorous search after the English property seized by the Greek pirates. The Pilote of Friday contains an article dated Odessa, August 26, giving us information from Constantinople 'to the 16th of August, by which it appears that the Sultan was still pursuing his plan of reform most suc ce*sfully, although under a system of terrorism. The Hamburgh Papers inform us that the popula .tion of-Prussia has increased 1,700,000 in the last ten years, and that of Berlin 36,000 ; the total of the former, amounting to 12,255,000, and that of the capital to 220,000. Monday week a mushroom was gathered near Cal verley, which measured twenty-seven inches in circum ference, upon a stalk of two inches and a half in dia meter, and which together weighed twenty ounces. A trout was on Friday last caught by Mr. Goodwyn, jun. of Taunt 11, in the river Tone, two feet long, and weighing 6 1 bs. 4oz. It was taken with a fly after some trouble, and no inconsiderable skill. An oracle having been asked what was his opinion on the subject of ringing bells in steeples that rocked while the bells were ringing? gravely answered that it mat tered not if the said steeples were rockdty, provided they were not ricketty. Hieronymus Cardanus, who insisted upon the ad vantage of perfect rest, observes that trees live longer than animals, because they never stir from their places. It has been suggested that the gymnastic weapon to be employed by the Horse Guards, according to a late order, should be called the United Service club. During the siege of Syracuse the Athenian sailors swam under water, and sawed away the piles with which the harbour had been blocked up. There are so many partridges this year, that the cock neys say they have had great sport, as they never before frightened so many birds. ARRIVALS. —The Spider family in good health and spirits, and the Full Moon. Dmairroam.—The Dog-days, and a great many gallons of kierefordshke cider. The subject relating to Bow Bells has made a great sobs In the Metropolis, and has set to work the eisppas of all the City gossips. A boy named Pettifer was yesterday se'nnight crashed beneath a stone of a ton weight, which his father was endeavouring to lower at a quarry on Clem Hill, near Cheltenham. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Strramsza 19. Thomas Lesion, a clerk, in the employment of Messrs. Roberts and Paul, tailors, in Bedford-street, Covcat-garden, was indicted for the embezzlement of different sums of money belonging to his masters. The prisoner took advantage of the opportunities afforded by his confidential situation, and by drawing out the accounts of the workmen at a rate beyond what was actually due, contrived, on two different occasidns, of which evidence was given, to put the balance of 14s. 3d. and 11. Bd. into his pocket. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard la bour in the House of Correction. Sarak aments, a married woman with a child at her breast, was indicted for a series of most cruel and unfeeling assaults upon her own child, Mary, an infant about six years of age, whom she had by an illicit con nection previous to her marriage. - John Hawkins deposed that he lived in the same house with the prisoner, at Hounslow, and that froth the 13th of January to the 14th of A ugu,r, he constantly overheard the mother beating the child, as he believed, with a strap, with the utm ist severity. On► one occasion, namely, on the 1311 of January, witness saw the prisoner beat and kick the child, and interfered to save the child from her furry. He at length gave information to the police; the child was brought before a Magistrate and examined. Her person was found bruised and dis coloured, and exhibited All the marks of the most unmi tigated violence. The child was consequently removed from the mother, and put under the charge of the parish. Mrs. Farnelly who lived in the same neighbourhood, stated that she had been frequently a witness to the ill treatment of the child by her mother. The prisoner's husband at one timecalled to the witness, and entreated her assistance to rescue the child from its mother. Wit 'tress went to the door and sate the mother in the house seize the child by both feet; and dash its head repeatedly with great violence against the floor. Witness then procured the assistance of some neighbours; the child was released, and was found to have sustained some very serious injuries. Both her eyes were black; there was a scar upon her nose, and a number of bruises on her shoulder and various parts of her body. Dlr. ADocrates, who was for the prosecution, said, that although. he had other witnesses he would not insult the feelings of the Court by going further into the detail, as a sufficient case had been made out for the Airy. The prisoner having been found Gui►ty, was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the Hutoe of Correction; and she then, for the first time during her trial, 'hewed symptoms of emotion. Mr. W. West, the comedian, complained that the statement made yesterday respecting his treatment of Mrs. West, was untrue. and that the allegations were gut up at the instance of Mrs. West's mother, and her family, who had been the authors of the differences which existed between himself and his wife. The complainant ac knowledged that he was not prepared to proceed further, at present, and retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DOW-STR MT. A very dashing young fellow, who gave his name Wm. Edwards, was yesterday brought before Mr. HALL , by Herring, one of the officers, charged on suspicion of being concerned in vat boos robberies which have recently taken place in the shops of the jewellers of the Metropolis. He was remanded, to give an opportunity' to persons who have been roblied to come forward and prosecute. A man of most respectable appearance and imposing address, whose hair is silvered, and who is above the middle size, was charged with committing a scandalous fraud upon a poor widow woman. Mrs. Frances Smith stated, that she keeps a small haber dasher's shop, at No. 4, Blue Cross-street, Leicester-square. She buried her husband some time ago, and knew that he had a brother whom she had not heard of for some time. On Tuesday last the pri soner came to her shop, and very politely asked her bow she was, and condoled with her on the loss of her late husband. She asked the pri soner it he knew him? and he replied 'Why don't you know me? can't you see a striking resemblance between me and your late husband.' She replied that she could not see any particular likeness. lie said that he was John Smith, her husband's brother. She told him that i she was glad to iee•bim, and he entered into a history of his ad ventures by sea end land, at home and abroad, and quite astounded her at the mere mention of his exploits. Knowing that her late husband's brother had been abroad, she credited the whole of his eventful story. He said that he was run hard for cash, hut on the Friday following he should have plenty of money, and if she would only lend him a few pounds till Friday, he would return it to her four-fold ; he wrote on a Oper his name and address, " John Smith, 14, Frederick -street, Hampstead Road." She let him have a sove reign and five shillings—all the money she bad in the house, on the faith of his representations; he did not make his appearance on the Friday, and !he discovered that he was an impostor. Mr. Bartholomew said that he was the brother of the above witness, and assisted in taking the prisoner into custody ; he (wit ness) had inqoired at No. 14, Frederick•street, Hampstead-road, and no such person as the prisoner was known there. Airs. Smith said that her husband's brother had a silver plate in his head, having been trepanned, and she should be able to bring witnesses forward on a future day, to prove the prisoner was not that individual. Mr. HALLS, tht Magistrate, said that the face of the prisoner was familiar to him and asked him what he had to say in answer to the charge preferrsld against him ? The prisoner bowed, and hoped the Magistrate would permit him to make restitution to Mrs. Smith. He certainly did borrow the money of her, but he did not say he was her brother-in-law, but merely an acquaintance. Mr. Halms told him that it was not by bowing, and offering to make restitution, that he would escape punishment; and asked him to give his real name. T,ise prisoner declined giving his same, and hoped to be permitted to make restitution. Mr. HALLS replied, that this was an office of justice, and not a place to make restitution ; and if ►e did not think proper to give his name, be (Mr. Halls) would give it for him. The prisoner said be was sorry he was not allowed to repay the money. The Clerk of the office turned to the charge-book, and it ap peared that about ten years ago the prisoner was charged with de frauding a Major Brereton of .010, and on that occasion be said his name . was a William Price Davies." About six years ago, and also about two years ago, other charges were preferred against him at this office. He was remanded. A brace of fair disorderlies, dressed in the extreme of the mode, were brought up yesterday morning, on a charge of fighting, first with each other, and afterwards with the watchman, who came to separate them. They gave their names Misses Sha rpe and Davy, residents of the neighbourhood of the scene of action, Villiers. street, Strand. The elegant pugilisticals" admitted the fact of their own rencounter, which they represented as a sort of female affair of honour, arising out of a previous quarrel, and defended their assault upon the watchman on the ground that his interference was unnecessary and impertinent, and that be ought to have been aware that " They who in quarrels interpose, Will often get a bloody nose." His Worship, however, thought the defence had more poetry than sound argument in it, and ordered them both to find bail. DIARY-LA-BONNE. VilT ie m Allen, Esq. of Cowdry Farm, near feasthatts, in Sur rey, so days since applied for a summons against John litibeard, a rw i man la ly employed by him as a groom, for selling a valuable horse ithout his permission, and absconding with the money. The ho , as appeared by the statement of Mr. Allen, was standing at livery in the stables of Mr. Gibbs, of Trafalgar:yard, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, from which place it was removed by Stibbard to the Commission Stables in Upper Montagu-street, where it was sold for 35 guineas, although the animal was worth 70 guineas. Mr. Allen declared that this had been done entirely without his know ledge, and the man bad left his service, without having handed over the proceeds of the de. He admitted that there was a considerable sum due to the groom for "ages, but not in amount equal to the sum be had received ; be therefore wished him to be brought before the Bench to explain the transaction. The summons baying been granted, Sdbbard appeared before the Magistrates. on Saturday last, bat at the request of Mr. Allen's solicitor, the matter was not then none into. Stibbard, however, stated, that he had lived three years in Mr. Allen's service, and that there was arrear of wages due to him of between 501. and 401. He had frequently, he said, been entrusted by his master to dispose of homes, and in this received a discretionary power to sell it for what it would fetch. His master said it ought to sell for 40 guineas, but he could only obtain 551. for it, and out of this sum he paid stable expenses to the amount of nearly 181. (Or which he produced the receipt), and appropriated the remainder, in part payment of his own wages, still leaving a balance due to him of between 161. and 181. ' He denied that he left Mr. Allen's employ without his perniisn and brought with him Charlott e P erry , t h e l ate housekeeper to M r . Allen, to prove that his master had given him 1811 power to dispose of the horse for any money it would bring. As the case could not be gone into on Saturday, in the absence bf Mr. Allen, the groom yesterday again attended to meet the accu sation of Ms master, but as that Gentleman again failed in his at. tendance, the summons was finally dismissed. Stibbard came from Basingstoke, purposely to answer the charges and brought with him a letter from his present employer offering td become responsible for his appearance at a future day, should it bi required. MA R I.BOROUG 11-STIt EAT. -- 1 A young man, named JAI' Waite, was charged with disturbing the Congregation assembled in Gower-street Chapel, Mt. Gill, one of the Members, stated, that about eight o'clock oil Monday evening, the prisoner came into the Chapel, and, in a feW minutes after, be began shouting, clapping his hands, and tearing the prayer books. The Minister was stopped in his devotions. On Sunday the prisoner had been to the Chapel, when he acted pre cisely in the same way, and prevented the service proceeding. The prisoner said, that the Minister, when in the midst of his Sermon, drew the attention of the Congregation towards him, and charged bins with picking the pockets of the Congregation. He felt vexed that his character should be thus publicly attacked, and he expressed his disapprobation of the conduct of the Minister. •Mr. Gill said, that several of the persons who frequented the Chapel bad been robbed, and he was confident the prioonet was connected with the thieves. The prisoner denied that be was connected with such characters, and said it was the Minister of the Chapel who picked the pockets of the Congregation. Mr. emcees' desired the prisoner to give some account of himself. The prisoner said, the place be lived in was an empty room. Mr. Conaxe-- Are you of any business? Prisoner—None at present. I was one time in the straw-blocking trade; but the loge of money, and the laws of oppression, have ruined me. Mr. Conant—Where are your friends? Prisoner—l have but one, who is inside of me; he gives me all that I want, both as to food, lodging, and every thing else. Mr. CoNan,--WIU you promise not to go to the Chapel again it you are discharged? Prisoner—That is more than I can promise, for I think there is great hypocrisy going on at the Chapel, and which I am determined to expose. Mr. Gill here said he did not wish to press the charge. . After some further conversation, in the coarse of which the pri. seiner said his wife was living in White Rose-court, White Cross street, he was discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, Jackson and Redmond were again brought up, charged with stealing carpenters tools from the Duke of York's new houses Evidence similar to whit was formerly given, was tendered and heard. Redmond persisted in saying he got the tools from Jac►son s and was admitted as a witness. Jackson was fully committed for trial. It was proved that Lawrence, the shop-keeper, near the Coburg, where most part of tke tools were found, had paid full price for ahem, and that therefore no blame was imputable to him. W 0 RS H I P-ST it EET. Matthews was charged with robbing J. Allen. The prose cutor, after collecting his rents in iltitannia-stseet, City-road, retired to an oyster shop in the neighbourhood, where a row commenced, when he was knocked down, and robbed of his hat, silk handker chief, a valuable finger ring, and 14s. in money; when the prisoner was apprehended,while marching off with the hat. Fully committed. LAM BET 11. ST REET. Daniel Sullivan, a potatoe dealer in Wemworth.streer, White. chapel, was charged with the commission of a most merciless assault on Eleanor Dawney. Mr. Scully stated, that on Sunday evening be saw the prisoner seize an infant, of seven years of age by the legs, and dash its head three times against the pavement, and afterwards hurl it with great violence into the street. After the prisoner bad accomplished his barbarity, he walked to his door, and sat down in the most uncon. cerned manner; but on some persons approaching to apprehend him, he bolted off, and escaped. The child was subsequently re• moved to the London Hospital, where it now lies in 'hopeless stets. The Magistrate observed, that a more brutal occurrence had scarcely ever come to his knowledge, and asked the prisoner what excuse he could possibly offer ? Prisoner—l shaU say nothing now, but wait until lam tried. Magistrate—That opportunity shall be certainly afforded to you, and he was accordingly committed. The death of the celebrated Vacca Betlinghiete, pro. fessar of surgery and medicine in the University of Pisa, is announced in the Italian Papers. Yesterday, at Union H ill, a fellow with a grave aspect, Named Harvey, alias Ball, was charged with robbing a poor widow of her all. He lodged in the same house with the complainant, who had such a good opinion of the prisoner, that she called him in to witness the appearance of her room, which bad been stripped. The hypocrite implored the widow's curse on the robber; but suspicions arising, an officer tt aced several of the articles to B 411's possession, and he was fully committed. Monday evening, as a heavily laden car was proceed• in k ; from the City, just as it reached Short -street, Moor fields, the seat behind t'le vehicle, occupied by the gdard, was disengaged from it, and the unfortunate man fell to the ground. He was taken up, and found to have his collar-bone and shoulder fractured, and to be other wise severely bruised. fhe game this year is remarkably plentiful, par tridges as well as hares. One coach that comes from Exeter through Basingstoke, for several days has brought each j-iurney from 200 to 300 head of game; on one, 60 hares, 150 partridges, &c. Similar statements might be made regarding many other coaches. A short time ago the celebrated violinist ICLasawrn Test, in making a musical excursion through Y6l 3 kshire, had occasion to tarry at Bridlington for a few days, when he took up his lodgings at the Nelson Inn. It happened one afternoon that a party of Gentlemen were taking a glass in the adjoining room to where the mu sician was executing some of the most brilliant passages of MAUNDER, when an honest farmer broke silence by *lying, si Bless me, he's a long time putting his fiddle into tune."
