Saouse Swinynto.—The gentlemen who possessed the shooting over the hills of Richert and Glaschorrie, on this estate of Meanie s in Athol. have bagged during the past season 1,037 grouse, in cluding a few black cock and ptarmigan. Sucb a return is, we be lieve, unprecedented, not only upon these excellent sporting grounds, brt upon any in the Highlands of equal extent. Friday fortnight, as one Mr. Mault's gamekeepers was shoot ing on the farm of Mr. Jeha Mill, Hole of Slateford, he beard a bare, in a neighbouring thicket, scream In the manner th,i gene rally do when seised by a dog. None <if his dogs being Its chat quarter, he approached the spot, and was surprised to observe the hare start from it, and, instead of proceeding straight forward, run round him at a short distance. The hare had made the circuit twice before he fired at it ; and his shot having taken effect, he found, on picking it up, that he had kWed not only a hare, but also a small weasel, fastened on it behind the ear, which bad, no doubt, been the cause of the scream. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE EAST INDIA WAREHOUSES. A most daring and extensive robbery was, on the morning of yesterday, all but accomplished, at the East India Company's stores in Cutler-street, Houndsditch. It appears that Cripps (who is now in custody) had been for some months past in the Company's employ, 'and thus became acquainted with the localities of the warehouses, and the spots where the most valuable and portable of their contents were deposited. Taking advantage of this, he set about appropriating a portion of them to himself, and with that view he, as it is supposed, secreted himself in the building, and commenced his operations in the dead hour of the night. Though within the walls, the store-rooms were not easy of access, and before he could reach them considerable difficulties presented themselves. These, however, he surmounted, and contrived to secure several b a les of Chi na crapes, silks, and valuable shawls and handkerchiefs, which he flung into the street, in front of Houndsditch entrance. After he succeeded so far, he prepared to make his escape, and for this he was provided with a rope, which he flung from the parapet of the stores towards Petticoat-lane; but having miscalculated the distance, instead of throwing it over the external wall, it fell short, and dropped into the yard. Thinking that it had reached the lane, be descended by it, but, instead of conveying him to a place of safety, it plunged him into a teas-pool, in which he was nearly suffocated, when his cries bringing some persons to his assistance, he was extricated, and taken into custody. The street into which he had thrown the property resembled, from its variety, an Oriental bazaar. Over £4OO-worth was recovered by a Jew named Mendez, and restored to the Company. Thy height from which the prisoner descended cannot be less than 70 feet, mad exhibits the intrepid spirit of the person who at tempted it. PAINTING ON SILK OR COTTON VELVET.--Extend some tracing paper upon the object to be copied, and trace the de sign upon it with a pencil. Rub the contrary side of this paper all over with fine lee in powder, and apply this reddened surface upon a smooth piece of parchment. With a pencil go over every object separately, using as many pieces of parchment as there are different objects and different colours in the design, so as to trans fer every object on a different piece. Afterwards cut out all the pieces of parchment by the transferred lines, and this done, extend the piece of velvet intended to be painted upon a table covered with a green cloth ; place every piece of parchment, one after an other, on that part of the velvet where the portion of the drawing ought to be which has been cut in the piece of parchment; and with a pencil charged with a colour suited to that part of the drawing, go over the velvet where it is not covered by the parch ment. The same is done for each piece of parchment separately, till the whole drawing is completed. The execution of this pro cess requires a great deal of care and attention, in order to avoid obliterating the design, for the whole part is performed continnedly, without waiting for the part which has just been painted to dry, before commencing another. At last, the parts which may not have taken well are corrected and finished with a pencil, or by means of new pieces of parchment. —Recreations in Science. GIGANTIC METEOROGICAL IEOLIAN HARP.—Cap tain Haas, of Basle, has designated by these an apparatus which emits of itself a variety of sounds during a change of weather. Since the year 1787, he had stretched above his garden fifteen iron wires, three buttered and twenty feet long, and at the distance of about two inches from sue another : the largest wire was two lines in diameter, the smallest one line, and those of intermediate sire one line and a half. They were situated towards the south and are inclined twenty or thirty degrees to the horizon, being stretched by means of rollers, properly arranged for the pur pose. Whenever the weather changes, these wires sound with such fondness that it is impossible to go on with a concert in the house. The sounds sometimes resemble the hissing noise of water rapid in ebullition, sometimes that of an harmonicon, and sometimes that of a distant chime, or an organ. The inventor of this curious appa ratus is Mr. Ventau, provost at Madill, nut far from Basle. He sometimes shot at a mark from his window, and in order that he might not go to the mark at each shot, he attached to it a long iron wire to draw it to him at pleasure. He remarked more than once that the wire sounded exactly an octave ; and be found that every Iron wire, stretched in a direction parallel to the sounds, emitted this tone at every change of weather.—A brass wire did not pro duce any sound, nor did an iron wire when it was stretched from east to west.—M. Dobereiner, of Jena, conceives that the pheno menon now described, is the effect of an electromagnetic action ; and be proposes to try if the brass wire could not sound when it communicates at its extremity with an energetic electrometer." Friday forenoon, a dreadful accident occurred two or three hundred yards south of Nottingham Trent-bridge. Mr. Albert Polook, merchant, a native of Brussels, but who has re sided at Nottingham a few years, in company with a friend, was taking a morning's ride, and had arrived at the top of Edwalton hill, when his horse suddenly turned about and galloped back down the bill ; at the foot of which, having, unfortunately, one of his feet out of the stirrup, he was thrown with great violence to the ground. He was instantly removed to the Horse Shoes Inn, near the bridge, where in a few minutes be breathed his last. The de ceased was 28 years of age. Saturday, an inquiry took place at the Sheriffs' Of fice, Red Lion-square, under a writ of extent, to ascertain what property a Mr. Darby was possessed of, who had formerly been a tax-collector for the Tower Hamlets Division, and who had lately become a defaulter to the amount of 5e2,600. The defendant had been a tax-collector for the last 23 years. Sometime since au in quiry was instituted into his accounts, when it was ascertained that he was deficient to the amount above stated. He was con. sequently suspended from his employment, and his goods were taken in execution ; but they not producing sufficient to meet the demand, the present inquiry was instituted, to ascertain what other property he was possessed of. The defendant was examined, and gave an account of all his property, among which was a sum of .61500 to which he was entitled at the death of a lady. The Under- Sheriff being of opinion that sufficient evidence had not been pro duced relative to the last item, a verdict was returned for only .21000. A SECRET DISCLOSED.--Till the death of the late General Money, of Crownpoint, near Norwich, it was never known by what accident Broughton, the prize-fighter. came by his death; but a memorandum to the following effect was found among the General's papers, which sets the matter at rest. Brough ton, it appears, with the extravagant habits of men of his caste, made no provision against adverse days. though patronised by the first men of the land.

The LOAD CMAIOCILLO; havisigtanSattirday, on the application of Mr. Charles Kemble, granted an Injunction to restrain Mr. Kean from performing at Drury-lane Theatre, upon the un derstanding that, should his Lordship nut sit to-day, the parties were to be at liberty to apply to the Vice-Chaucellor to dissolve it : the Court at an early hour was crowded with threw'. cal performers. On his Honour taking his seat, Mr. Kitson said he understood the Court had given permission for him to make a very pressing motion in the cue of Kembie v. Kean, and that his Honour had appointed to bear it in private at twelve o'clock. The Vics-Cluncetwa said he had certainly, on the motion being represented to him as being of a most urgent and pressing nature, given his permission that it should be made In private, but on reflection he did not see any reason fee privacy, or why it should net be made in public. The conversation here dropped. Shortly afterwards, however, Mr. KNIGHT received a communication, when the Learned Coun sel again addressed the Court, and said be understood that some arrangement bad been entered into between the parties, which would render it unnecessary for him to move to dissolve the in junct;on at twelve o'clock to-day, but if his Honour would grant him permission, should it be necessary, be would make it at the sitting of the Court to-morrow morning. The Vics-Cstascuwa said he should be quite willing to hear it at that time. The nature of the arrangement between the parties did not transpire. The Court was afterwards occupied in hearing petitions in bank ruptcy of no public interest. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 30. No fewer than 140 solicitors were sworn in this morning before his Honour the M f the Rum, so that there will be no need, on account of s scarcity of legal practitioners, that one soli citor should act for both plaintiff and defendant, which frequently happens, and which usually gives rise to the most culpable delay and irregularity, as his Honour took occasion to observe in the course of the morning. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 30._ _ 'dings after' Michaelmas Term, in Westminster Hall, before Lord Tiarraanam and Common Dulles a TIM REAL TRIIIIDADA r i .-1110011011 V. VOULXII2. _ _ _ The plaintiff, an eminent tobacconist in Oxford-street,. brought this action to recover £55, due as the balance of an account amount ing to 415 for prime or Spanish cigars. The defendmt, a dashing young man of fashion, and a great professor of smoking, was at tracted by the odorous qualities of the plaintiff's shop, and, without objection to prices, ordered several boxes of cigars of the real Tri nidad& fragrance. They consisted of cigars from the Havannah, and a peculiarly rich sort called the King of Spain's cigars, which sold at upwards of £2O per box. The defendant ordered a quantity of other Spanish cigars, at £9 a box, and for one-quarter box of the best be was to pay dim The defence rested on a complaint of the high price at which the cigars were sold. A Tobacconist, called to reduce the Plaintiffs charges, stated that Mr. Hudson kept a fashionable shop in a fashionable part of the town, and no doubt obtained good prices for his articles. Not having been in a similar way of business himself, he could not say whether the plaintiff's charges were unreasonable. Lord TINTBILDEN said it did not follow that a tradesman living in a particular part of the town was entitled to demand more than the fair value for his goods. The Jury were to give him the value and no more. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 250, costs, 40s. TUX •MBOXIMI or ♦DAII, ♦ RANKILOPT. V. LQIBI[IX. This was an action brought by the Assignees of Adams, against the defendants, bankers and merchants, at Brighton, for the re covery of certain wines, which had been deposited with them u security for the repayment of an account advanced to the bank rupt. The bankrupt, it appeared, in the month of April, 1828, called upon his solicitor, Mr. Faithful, and said he was in want of some money, in consequence of having laid out a considerable amount in the purchase of wines. Mr. Faithful subsequently introduced his client to Messrs. Lushman and Co. who ulti mately agreed to advance the sum required, for which Mr. Adams was to give bills, for the security of the payment of which certain wines were to be transferred to Lushman and Co. On the 18 of May, the transaction was settled. Two promissory notes were given for Xl5O each, the one falling due on the Ist, and the other on the 31st of July, in the same year. The first of these bills was paid by Adams before his bankruprty, and the Jury were to say whether a tender made by a Mr. Davis of X 1,300, and .es for expenses, could be legally considered as a payment of the other bill? A great deal of evidence was produced. Lord Turraansx having summed up, the Jury almost imme diately found for the defendants. DILL V. LA)IQLIY. This was an action against the late Sheriff of the county of York, by the assignees of a bankrupt, named Thomas Jefferson, who bad carried on the business of a haberdasher at Pickering, in that county. The whole question turned on the date of the Act of Bankruptcy. The action was brought to recover the amount of certain effects belonging to the bankrupt, which were taken in ex ecution by an officer of the Sheriff, under a writ of execution. A verdict was ultimately taken by consent for the plaintiff— Damages, £BlO, subject tolhe opinion of the Court upon the case. Several undefended and other causes were tried, but none of in terest to the public. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. SO. THE TRIG V. BUMP. The Loup Caw BARON sat at Weitnanster this morning to try causes. This was an undefended cause, and a verdict passed for the Crown. Th* ZING V. SOLLIT JOSEPH MANNING. The Soucriros Geneaac stated that this was an information filed against the defendant for selling to publicans " a certain article" which greatly superseded the neceuity of using malt in the brewing of porter. On condition that the defendant should give up for ever manufacturing or even disposing of any more of the article in question, and that the Crown should take a ver dict generally on this information the Crown had consented to suspend any further inquiry. The Solicitor-General hoped that this would operate as a warning both to manufacturers of this most objectionable article, and to any publicans who may have been in the habit of consuming it, because the Crown bad deter. mined to put a stop to the practice, so that his Majesty's subjects might have that nutritious beverage, in porter, which they had a right to expect.—Verdict for the Crown generally. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 50. nos •. JOIDAM. This case, which is an action of ejectment of no interest except to the parties concerned, occupied the Court the whole morr.ing. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, Nov. 28. TUB SST. OLOPRAN JILLITT V. WM. SUITS, TKOPRIMIL OF THE LOUTH TRUE PUSS. The affidavit of Mr. Jcllett stated, that he had left home in October last to attend business in Dublin ; th.t it happened, in his absence, that one of his sons, a child of about eight years of age, went with a maid servant to spend the evening at the house of a gentleman in the neighbourhood, named Crowe; and that while she was taking off her bonnet, the child went unobserved, into an adjoining apartment. When the servant went to look for the boy, she saw him in the act of letting off a gun, which be found in a corner of the room be bad gore into ; and it seemed that the con- tents, by accident, lodged in the body of a young woman who was dressing flax in an outhouse. The unfortunate occurrence, the affidavit sorted, was made the subject of severe and unjustifiable animadver,ion, under the head of" Dreadful Murder," in the •' Louth Free Pre;s," in a number of that Journal published in October hut. After some further observations from Coun.ei, the conditional order was granted. Marshall, the man who stabbed the surgeon and watch man at Manchester, in a at of intoxication, was on Thursday fully committed to take his trial at the Assizes, for the capital offence of stabbing Mr. Jesse, the surgeon. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, N0v.30. At:ander Glenn* late of Kennington. vktualler, who was up on a former day, was sentenced to five calendar insinths' imprison ment under the discretionary clause. Join Thompson, who was also up on a former day, was adjudged to seven calendar months' imprisonment, at the suit of a creditor named Page t for a vexatious defence to his action, which imprison ment will expire to-morrow, the judgment bein g computed from the date of the insolvent's filing his petition. Sir R. Sara—Have you any thing to say respecting the death of the deceased 7 • The prisoner stated that the decesseri was in the act of pulling open a door in the back yard that morning. when be fed backwards and indicted the wound upon his forehead which was supposed to have occasioned his death. Sir R. Brune said, that under all the circumstances Mr. Thomas would be justified in detaining the prisoner until the Coroner's Jury should alt upon the body of the deceased. MAR BOROUGH.STR EST. Timothy Hurley and Jaws Goias. two 111-tooting fellows, were yesterday afternoon placed at the bar before F. A. Ma, Bog the Presiding Magistrate, charged with the following Impudent species of robbery :-- A muter baker, named Gray, residing at No. 9, Unlea-street, ,Somers-town, said that he had deposited a quantity of silver and halfpence, together with a gold ring, in kis till under the counter, and that while he was in another room the prisoners walked very deliberately into the shop, and taking the till with its contents, were decamping with it, when an alarm was given, and they set off at full speed across the fields. After a good steeple chase, oar was out-run, and the other prisoner falling into a ditch, which he had attempted to leap, was soon afterwards seemed.—They were fully committed for trial. . ..•nraMiLir OTtIMPIPT. A miserable-looking aid women, named Esther Wells, who was only discharged from custody cm Sunday morning, was yesterday again brought before Mr. Hosseries, at this odce, charged by an old man named Kidd, with having stolen a tub. The evidence was quite conclusive of her guilt ; and the magis trate, after having severely reprimanded her for the total want of principle which she had evinced, sentenced her to two months' imprisonment. Among the applicants for relief yesterday at this Office, from the parish of Mile-end Old -town, was a man with a wife and five children, who begged of the Magistrates to grant him an order to compel the overseers to take him into the workhouse. He stated that they would only allow hint 7s. a week for the support of him self, wife, and a family of See children ! Mr.Wetzas told him that the parish did very right in not taking him into the house, as there was no doubt but that he wished to be eat in idleness, the trade of a carpenter being a good nee. ! g: t t e r d ian, who described himself as a carpenter, said, in with. drawing, with tears in his eyes, that for six weeks he had not been able to get any work, and be had no home for his wife and family to go to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUI! DHALL. Charleas Wyatt, a miserable-looking creature, about 30 years of age, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Thames. Peter Soddy, a street-keeper, deposed. that in passing along Blackfriars-bridge about Ave o'clock on Sunday afternoon, he ob served the prisoner at the bottom of the stairs getting into the water. He got down in time to save her, and her mother was now in attendance. The prisoner was drunk. The mother said the prisoner was married to a slaughter.man, but was living apart (for it was impossible to Uwe with her) on an allowance of 3s. 6d. per week, which the prisoner regularly squan dered away within an hour after she had received it. She was a confirmed drunkard. Mr. Alderman Baowu asked the prisoner if she wished to say any thing? Prisoner replied, that she did net know bow she came to think of such a thing. A friend gave her the liquor. " Have you reflected on the dreadful situation you would have been in if you bad appeared before your Maces, your own murderer?" raid the Alderman. The prisoner looked about her callously, and said she was very sorry. Alderman Baowr asked the mother if she would take her borne? The mother said her conduct was so bad that she could not. Indeed she wished her to be bound down not to annoy her. The Magistrate replied that she might give her into custody when she was offending. He did not know that be could do any thing with her now. She was accordingly discharged. A woman, upwards of 50 years of age, named Jame Annuli, was charged with making a similar attempt on the Surrey side of the bridge, about six o'clock the same evening. Easely, a watchman, said he had traced her family. Sbe had suffered a severe injury on the head, sad was partly deranged. She was quite sober. Her son was now in attendance. The Alderman asked the son if it was true that her head had been wounded as described ? The son, who seemed much affected, said it was. " Will you take care of her ?" said the magistrate. The son promised that he would to the best of his power. " Then be so kind as to do so. She is discharged,' rejoined the Alderman. .reseph de reigns, a valet to Mr. Rothschild, of Stamford-hill, attended to show cause why an order of affiliation should not be made upon him with regard to a child born in the parish of St. Ann, Aidersgate-street. Anstice Keogh, the mother, was produced, but before she was sworn, she was questioned by Mr. Harmer for the defendant, re specting her husband. She ►aid site had not seen him since the year 1818. He was a private in the 9th Lancers, and she had heard some time ago that be was dead, but it now appeared that he was still living. - Mr. Harmer said it would be necessary to prove impossibility of access between the husband and wife before the latter could be allowed to swear this child to the defendant. Mr. Payne, the second clerk, said the overseen offered as proof of this, evidence that the woman had resided constantly In London, and documents from the War-office to show that the husband bad never left his regiment, which was stationed in Yorkshire about nine months before the birth of the child. The regiment was now at Nottingham. Mr. Alderman ViNABLID remarked, that the doctrine respecting impossibility of access had of late been a good deal modified. It would be difficult to find any person to swear the woman bad not bad an opportunity of meeting the husband. The mother, weeping, protested she had not seen him. ' Mr. Alderman liatown objected to the validity of the docu mentary evidence. If the overseers could produce legal proof of the husband's continual residence in Yorkshire, they might take it at once to the sessions on the adjournment-day. The sessions could make the order in the same manner that two justices would. The magistrates concurred in declining to make the order. Mr. Dunsby, the foreman of the inquest, of Farriogdon-within, applied for a summons against William Pallas, of Cranbrook, in Kent, for sending the carcass of an cis and two sheep for sale in Newgate-market, the same nut being fit for human food. Mr. Alderman Baown asked what proof he had that Mr. Pullen sent it ? Mr. Dunsby said he had Mr. Pulkn's letter and invoice, which was delivered with a part of the meat, and which he bad obtained from the salesman's foreman. Mr. Harmer suggested the letter might have been written by somebody else hi his name. Mr. Alderman liaowu said that was obvious. Could Mr. Dunsby prove the hand-writing? Mr. Dunsby said the inquest had a difficult duty to perform. He was unlearned in the law, and he hoped no impediment would be thrown in his way. He wished to state the course that had been taken before by the Aldermen. Mr. Alderman Baown said no impediment would be put in his way ; the public were much obliged to him for his exertions; but if he were unlearned in the law, be might have the assistance of the City-Solicitor. The city would cheerfully pay the expense. lie could not issue his summons until he had evidence that Mr. Pullen consigned the meat. Suppose he were to conic and state that he did not send the meat : then be would have been put to the trouble of coming out of Kent improperly. Mr. Harmer said the name might be altogether fictitious. Mr. Dunsby called the foreman to Mr. Klmber, the salesman, to prove the handwriting; but be swore that be had never heard of or seen his writing before. This was the first consignment that had been received from him. Mr. Doughy next asked the Alderman to hear the opinion, on oath of the officers and others as to the unsoundness of the meat, as a ground for issuing his orders to burn it. Richmond, the officer, was beginning to state that he had seized four quarters of what was called an ox, and two sheep, in a cart in Newgate-street, that morning, when The ALINISMAN, after consulting with Mr. Harmer and the clerks, said, " I feel, and I am told by those around me, I have no au thority to order the meat to be destroyed ; that is the province of the inquest; and they will do it, If they think proper, on their own responsibility." Mr. Harmer said he had inspected the meat, and if be were on the Inquest he should condemn it without hesitation. The Alderman said the city would protect him if an action should be brought against Mr. Dunsby in such a case as this. Mr. Dunsby said be should do this duty fearlessly, and withdrew. About four o'clock in the afternoon the huge moveable oven, constructed at the city expense, to destroy putrid meat, was drawn into the area of Newgite-market, and the beef was burned ; but the sheep were taken away to be belled down for dog's meat. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of police, waited upon Sir R. Brame, and stated, that be had a man in cust ody upon suspicion of murder, but as the coroner's inquisition bad not as yet sat upon the body of person whose death the prisoner was sup posed to have accelerated, he (Mr. Thomas) wished to know whe ther he would be justified in detaining the suspected party until the finding of the coroner's jury? Sir R. Blasts asked Mr. Thomas if be had any evidence to pro duce tending to criminate the prisoner, as in that case he would be quite warranted in detaining him. Mr. Thomas replied, that the deceased, whose name was George Mellor% had kept the White Lion public-house, in flare-market, and front circumstances that bad transpired, it appeared that he had come to his death by unfair means. His forehead exhibited a dreadful gash, and several severe bruises were visible about his head and face. Sir R. Brass asked if the accused was present? Mr. Thomas directed two of his men to bring the prisoner for. ward, which was done accordingly. His name is Charles Willis, and he is the brother of Mrs. Hellion, the wife of the deceased. . A police-constable, named Rasthurpe, stated, that on Tuesday last, at silt o'clock in the morning, be was passing the house of the deceased, when he heard a violent altercation inside, and upon looking in, be saw the prisoner beating the deceased in a most brutal manner. He then pushed him towards the stairs, and knocked him down. Witness went between the prisoner and the deceased, and separated them. He then left the house, and was returning in the same direction in about six minutes after, when be heard a dreadful cry of murder proceeding from the house. He immediately rushed in, and found the prisoner bearing the deceased in the same dreadful manner as before. Witness desired the pri soner to desist, observing that his conduct was most brutal. The wife of the deceased, who stood in the bar all the time without at mining to interfere, began to abuse witness, calling him an in solent fellow for interfering, and said that the prisoner was her brother. _ _ The Magistrate then asked the prisoner if it was true that he had bad a quarrel with the deceased? The prisoner replied, that disagreements had frequently arisen between him and the deceased, who had latterly taken to drinking to such an recess that be bad quite neglected his business; in con. sequence of which he (the prisoner) came from the country for the purpose of assisting his sister.
