I • R!! "f • 3%, .BOARD OF EXCISE, Jaw• 24. Arthur liarmetin answered tommos issued against him, for setailing beer without e license. Defendant stated, that he h poverty been prevented from obtaining a Ikense ; but if tise ad by Court viimif.l give him indulgence for a little time, he hoped to be enabled to procure one. The Court fined him 81. being 'double the amount of the hi emit.. Defendant stated that he had ceased to sell for the last three months, but the Court, on that account, did not mitigate their first award. ADOLTRIATION or saga. Mr. Thomas Smith, of the King's Arms, Narrow-street, Limehouse, was charged with adulterating his beer. Thomas Dean, General Surveyor, proved having, on the 31st. July last, in company with Joseph Bartlett, also of the Excise, entered the cellar of the defendant's house, and found two hums of beer on tap, to which tLey applied the test. On the mild beer the test bad no effect, but the stale beer became very green. Defendant told witness that the stale beer had been in his possession for three years. Witness took samples of defendant's beer to Messrs. Taylor and Co. brewers, Mae house, who supplied the defendant with beer, and procured a sample of their stale tn-er, as like as possible to the sample of that of the de fendant. The brewers' sample was very sour and stale, but bad no icon in it. Joseph Bartlett corroborated the evidence of Mr. Dean. Mr. Blakie, storehouse clerk to Messrs. Taylor and Co. stated that he recollected having tasted the samples brought by the above wit nesses ; and, as far as taste went, he did not think that there was much the matter with the beer. Messrs. Taylor and Co. used oaken in the brewing of their beer, with the knowledge of witness. Mr. Michael Faraday. Director of the Laboratory of the Royal Institution, bad analysed the samples of the beer, the particulars of which be de tailed. George Petty, surveying cater, stated that the draught of the defendant was about six or seven butts a month. lie had subsequently left the house, Defendant said the beer was waste beer, and had been in the house for three years; as soon as he knew that the beer was bad, he had ceased to draw it, and had sold it as waste, at a great sa crifice. The Court fined him in the mitigated penalty of SOL Mr. Jesse Lowe. of St. Clement's-lane, was called upon, on a simi lar information.—Defendant pleaded not guilty, aid had a solicitor en gaged for his defence. The case for the prosecution was proved by Thomas Heale and James Gripton, of the Excise. On the 6th of Sept. they applied the test to stale and mild beer on the premises of Ofte defendant, both of which changed colour by the test. Sever a 1 wit nesses from Moue and Co.'s brewery were examined, and Mr. Fara day, who proved that the beer bad been adulterated. The Solicitor for.defendant made a long and ingenious defence, and called several witnesses to prove that the stale beer had been in the house when defendant took it, cos the 13th of Nay 1669, and that hav ing changed his brewer at that time, he had used every endeavour to get his beer removed, and at last only succeeded by refusing to receive any more beer from the brewer till the stale was taken sway. The COURT fined him 1001. Dlr. Anthony Lucas pleaded Guilty to a similar offence. He was fined Sol. In January, 1751, a globular bottle was blown at Leith, capable of holding two hogsheads. Its dimensions were forty inches by forty-two. This immense vessel was the largest ever produced at any glass work. The town of Elgin was, on Tuesday ee'nnight, for the first time, lighted with gas. THE CLERICAL Sw num.—This person, known as the Rev. William Wheatley, has, it appears, left England for the Continent with 2,0001. in gold in his trunk, besides bonds and documents of the value of 50,0001. which he can easily convert into cash. He has swindled numbers of re spectable tradesmen, who were completely imposed upon by his evangelical conversation, and hie being constantly found in his room at the White Swan, Covent-garden, reading divine works, as " The Art of Living Holy," &c. Since the publicity of his proceedings, a letter has been received by the mother of the lad whom he introduced as his adopted son, informing her that she need labour under no appro. hensions for him, his interest being well taken care of by the reverend swindler.—Observer. The liberty of Havering, comprehending the parishes of Romford and Hornchurch, with a population of 6,000 souls, pays the annual sum of 6,0001. for tithes. The Romford division, with a population of 4,000 souls, and paying 2,4001. annually, has no resident beneficed clergyman ; and the curate, who receives a salary of about 1301. per annum, for preaching one sermon weekly, is paid by the general sub scription of the inhabitants for a second sermon in the after noon. The living belongs to the Fellows of Oxford College, who appoint a chaplain, with an income of about 1,0001. or 1,3001. a-year, who pays a curate the stipend above stated. This chaplain, who, it is stated, holds another lucrative living, is unknown, even by name, to the inhabitants. The tithe collectors of the liberty, for some years pest, have been in constant litigation with the farmers, insisting upon the tithe of hay and lambs in kind, which the farmers contend against, as they have paid a modus for about 200 years. Other suits have also been commenced by the tithe own ers against potatoe growers ; the tithe-owners insisting that the grower shall tithe his potatoes at the end of each day ; while the potatoe growers point out the loss they must sustain by this mode of tithing, as new potatoes sustain great damage by remaining in the Ground, and it is indis pensable they should get as soon as possible to market. A jury and thejudges of the Court of Eing's Bench have decided in favour of the farmers, and the judge of the Ec clesiastical Court against them. A petition, explaining these facts, has been presented to the House of Commons; and on Thursday a meeting was held at Romford, to pre pare a similar petition to the Lords. The subject under went considerable discussion, and the petition was then agreed to. EXTENSIVE ROEBEET.—In the early part of the last week, the lady's-maid in the establishment of General Murray, No. 4, Upper Seymour-street, discovered that the jewellery belonging to her ladyship, which was deposited in the dressing-room of her mistress, was removed. On the circumstance being communicated to Lady Murray, her lady ship declared that she had not removed them from the place in which they were usually deposited, and it was then ascer tained beyond a doubt that the following valuables were sto len, via.—a handsome gold hunting-watch of considerable value, with four gold seals attached, one a white cornelian, with a figure of a woman engraved thereon ; another of the same colour with the letters M.M ; one with a red carne lian, with the word Vite, and the other an amethyst ; two gold chains—one a Venetian, in five rows, and the other heavy, with a French gold cross attached to it ; a superb cut coral necklace, a gold locket set with turquoise, a bird-pin with red feathers, and a tin box containing a variety of other very valuable articles of jewellery, amounting in the whole to between 2001. and 3001. Suspicion at once strongly attached itself to the servants in the house, and an active inquiry was instantly set on foot. The boxes of the domestics were searched, and their owners severally interrogated, but with out the desired effect. Avis, an active officer at Marl borough-street establishment, has the subject in hand, and from certain information which he received on Saturday, be set off for a short distance out of town to make further inquiries into the robbery, Tuesday a meeting was held at Rochester, of inhabitants of the North Division of the lathe of Ayleeford, on the subject of Parliamentary Reform—Samuel Baker, Esq. in the Chair. A petition, praying for a reform; and a reso lution, declaring the opinion of the meeting that the most efficacious mode of preserving the purity of election is the Vote by Ballot—were unanimously agreed to. Among the speakers on the occasion were Mr. Bentley, Mr. H. Prentis, Mr. C. Larkin, Mr. Schnebbellie, the Rev. Dr. Joynes, and Mr. James Smith. DEATH OF NATHANIEL Gow. — On Wednesday Na thaniel Gow, the, well-known Scottish violinist and composer of many of the popular national airs of Scot laird, expired at his *use in Edinburgh, after a, painful illness of several years. In his ,latter days, Mr. Gow, had enjoyed a pension from King GeolV,,,who it will be recol lected, treated him with some maks of Royal condeeninsion, on observing him at the head of his hand in Dalkeith House in 1822.

SHEFFIELD COURANT, Jaw. 21. Sean ow Yeaxentax.—.At the entertainment given at York the week bothre last, by the Memorable E. E. Petre, Lord Mayor of York and High Sheriffi in one of his speeches, alluding to the recent conflagrations in the South, be said—" As High Sheriff of the county, he bad had to vouch to his Majesty's Ministers for the loyalty of the people of Yorksbite. This he had done with pleasure and confidence; for relying upon the magistrates and yeomanry, and having a little jea lous feeling against a too ready appeal to the army, he bad told them they might take their soldiers where they would—we wanted them not in Yorkshire." At a meeting of the Committee, for the purpose at forming a Joint Stock Banking Company in Sheffield, held on the 17th, Samuel Bai ley, Esq. in theptair,--it was unanimously resolved. That the pro. posed Company is formed under the title of the Sheffield Banking Company, to carry on the usual Business of Bankers.

At the late great Berkshire Meeting to petition for Parliamentary Reform, after the general resolutions were carried, Mr. Mooch said, that he bad now to call the attention of the meeting to a resolution on the subject of vote by ballot. He apprehended that it would not be said, that there was any thing new in this proposition of voting by ballot, though that mode of taking votes had certainly not yet been applied to elections for members of Parliament in this country. In the ancient free republics • similar plan of voting was followed, and the wise and good of those times never fan cied that there was any thing degrading in the pierce • it would raise the character of our aristocracy, by showing them the la. utility of wealth and 'tattoo when unaccompanied by virtue and pod conduct. The hon. gentleman then coseluded by morng a resoludee to the effect, that vote by ballot was the surest means of for the free and independent exmclas of the elective franchr li g Marsh supported the resolution, observing, that it had been found to answer e xtremely well in America ; ; anethat the late success of the people in France could never have been achieved without the right of secret voting. The Earl of Radnor expressed his general cow currents in the argument embodied in the petition. He thouOt the ballot would put a stop both to general and to individual briWy.— It was said that the system was un.English. Indeed ? Why, it was that which all of them were doint every day. In conclusion, he stated that as the arguments in favour of b allo t were infinite, he 'Laid cer tainly held up his hand in favour of the resolution. Mr. Whebleg:, posed as an amendment, a resolution to this effect—" That no Re coulebe practical, rational, and efficient, without the vote by ballot." Mr. Fyshe Palmer said that for many years he had found it difficult to reconcile himself to vote by ballot. He wee now as favourable to vote by ballot es to any other of what he believed to be essential points of this important question. He could state from his own expe rience that under the present system a roan fre quently ran the risk obeing ruined if he exercised independently this acknowledged and valuable right, and he was free to confess that if it were offered to him to have vote by ballot only on condition that the statutes against bribery should be repealed, he would say at ones, and without hesitation, "Burn your bribes y sets and welcome, so that you give me vote by ballot." Mr. Hula thezruer then put the resolution, which was tarried amidst loud acclamations. Mr. Budd said that Mr. Dundee had represented the county for many years, but be had always been a dumb dog (laughter), and th ey wanted some one who would speak, to press the opinions of the county upon the house. Mr. Denim (continued the boo. gentleman) thee put the weed Refbros " upon his chair at an election but in a few months after he said to me, You reformers." " Yon reformers," said I; " why ain't y ou a reformer 1 " " No," said be, " not ens of your kind of reformers." (Laughter.) Mr. C. Dundee said, that the fact was, his good friend Mr. Budd was a radical reformer, and he (Mr. Dundee)) certainly was not. Mr. Budd knew this very well, and this was what Mr. Budd complained of. With regard to vote by ballot, be weuM state now, lest any man should hereafter accuse him at pen. tieing deception on the subject, that although he had heard a pod deal about the ballot, he had not made up his mind upon it. NILWBURT, JAS. 21. The adjourned vestry meeting of the inhabitants of this borough, for the purpose of receiving the re. port of the committee appointed "to take into consMseatimi the best means of carrying into effect the resolution of the , mre t he employment of the able-bodied men in spade wise employing the pore," was held at the IllendethhenisTa last ; Edward Slocock, Esq. Churches/Iw, to the emir; when the fol. lowing was presented, and read to the _leg m the REPORT OF THR COMMITTEE. The first plan which the Committee teak into their consideration, was the peinility of devoting, in execution of the resolution of the vestry, a portion of the Wash tor the purposes of spade husbandry. l This, it apposes, can be done under attain limitations, by a grant from the Lord of the Manor, and hem a particular majority a the owners of I land and houses within the parish. And, in furtherance of this Pao, the following was suggested, that three different plots of groun on the Wash Common, be selected as applicable to the purposes of spode husbandry, amounting to about twenty acres together, and that the most industrious men be Wed for the purpooe of enclosing end digging, which may be dons for about four pounds by the sere, and that it fret by tender. The second plan was that of hiring or leasing land for the papose aforesaid ; there is no manner of doubt but that this can be dame seder the provisions of the Act of 69 Geo. lIL 2 2 . 11 12. - The th ird plan was that of hiring or hi a brick kiln, and sank. ing bricks ; the provisions of the same Act w I extend to this The eligibility of this plan Is very apparent in the seise; Whet if bricks are made, It will be the means of building homes, for the re. eeption of the poor in particular. In the statement of the overseers are. counts for the last year, it will be seen there is the enormous sum of 267 L le. 4d. paid foe rents. The labourers employed in the workhouse garden of St. Helen's pa. rah, in taking out the gravel, have, within these few days, discovered seedy thirty skeletons, in a high state of preservation ; the teeth were shiest invariably sound and white; the shallowness of the graves, sod the Insplar position of the bones, indicated a hasty interment after a beetle.

About four o'clock on Sunday evening, (the oth), owing to the sudden thaw and the immense quantity of snow which fell upon the mountains and begs between Bloomfield and Osevagh, part of the high bog belong. ing to Abraham Martin, faq gave way, and relied before the mountain torrent in tremendous quantities, covering many acres of tillage and re. claimed meadow, and doing incalculable damage wherever it marked ha furious way ; the bog burst about a quarter of a mile from the road, and chiefly taking a small stream which divided Mr. Savage's pp oputy from Mr. Nicholson's as ha guide, overwhelmed the country for it disuna of at lent two miles, to the breadth of several hundred yards on either side, carrying in hs destructive course the contents of about 100 acres of bog, turf, heath, stone, timber, &c. representing a chaos quite out of the power of any one, without seeing, to imagine; about a quarter of a mile from where it burst, it crossed the road leading from Bloomfield to St. James's Well, and carried it away from below the foundation, for the breadth of two hundred yards. It has carried away a considerable extent of a new road which, Mr. Martin was making through thrbog, chiefly to give employment to the poor, and has substituted in its stead a wide and deep ravine. One man named M`liim had a narrow escape, as it branched off before it came to his house on both sides of it, and joined again shortly after it had passed it. This man, and a man named M'Donagh, have been the greatest suf. ferers in the immediate neighbourhood of where it burst. Whole acres of reclaimed land have been lost for ever; toads completely carried away from ten and Sheen feet below their foundation, and on the spot where oats bad been reaped, and potatoes dug in harvest last, nothing to be seen to-day but frightful and yawning chums awful to contemplate. CALEDONIAN MERCURY, bat. 20. The following is an extract of the report of George Stephenson: Rata. I Civil Engineer, on Line of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Leith Railway : In collecting the necessary information, my attention was, in the first instance, naturally directed to the two lines which have been partieu tarty surveyed for a railway—the one by Mr. Judins, which may be denominated the old or south line—the other by Messrs. Grainger and Miller, which may be distinguished as the new or north line. With respect to length, it appears that there is a difference of two miles in favour of the north line to the same point at the Broomielaw. The summit level of the south line, as shown on the section, is 804 het, whilst that of the north line is 635 feet. It spirants, therefore, that even if the two lines were of equal length, it would be necessary to reduce the summit level from 804 feet to 535 feet, in order to render the one line capable of being worked as cheaply as the other; and this redaction of the summit would involve the necessity of a deep cutting and tunnel ling, for a distance of seven miles ; and the nature of the ground on the west side of the summit, even beyond the end of the tunnel li ng, appears by tbe section, to be such as not to allow of its being paved, by mesas of inclined planes. After erasing the summit, the line stretches forward towards the Gamitirk Railway, through a country, which, as far as my observation has extended, is the best that can be obtained. The line then proceeds along the Garnkirk Railway, which presents a fine.kvel surface for the distance of Ave miles—diverges from the Gam kirk Railway before arriving at the west end thereof—descends the pro tected tunnel under the city of Glasgow, and terminates at the Bromide. kw, in an extremely eligible situation, for the purpose of shipping and anshipping goods into and out of vessels lying in the Clyde. With respect to the formation of the tunnel, no appahensiooa need be enter. tained„„as it is a plain practicable work, unattended danger or an noyance to the houses or other property under whi ch it may pass. It is urged in favour of the south line, that it passes through a rich cool and iron field, and that the north line does not. But any advantage which this circumstance may give to the south line will, I imagine, be esncelled by the disadvantage arising from the nacuity of raising al. most all the minerals, from the points at which they are obtained, up to the main line whereas the branches which weed be made from the Benhar and other coal fields, and front the Hatbgate and other lime works, to Join the new line, would descend towards it. The desirability of passing through the western coal field, admitting that, under other circumstances, it would be advisable to sacrifice something to accomplish this, is very much diminished by the circumstance of the Wiabaw and Columns, and the Monkland and Eirkintulloth Railway: 413 through a antral portion of the rich mineral district of Lanark connecting it with Glasgow, by mesas of the Osenkirk Railway. Though not pretending to say, from my own personal lauded. es the subject, what will be the probable revenue arising from the of goods between Edinburgh and Glasgow, or fr om the cards's= between Leith and the Broomielaw, and ug the intennoisbahlonho yet, I think, when we consider that, within ten weeks from the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, at a time, too, wits jags. dice *Oast the safety of railway conveyance was gnat, the ensimens sum of 18,000 E has been resolved for the carriage of posses. gas alone .; and that, 'previously to that period, 27 coaches passed to and from Manchester in each direction ; and whereas 13 mechss, I un derstand, pass at present between Edinburgh and Glasgow, in addition to the smsal boats. A copious source of income is the certain mese. guess et the operation of a railway, affording a cheap and expeditious canstaisation he merchandise and other heavy commodities, in place of the and hiked expensive one at present in existence—unit. intim pepaf eas dies of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Joseph Bates, &patrol of the Ward, stated that, observing some meet exposed foe sale, which was in his opinion rotten and unwholesome, he stated the fact to some oCthe Common Councilmen of the Ward, und er whose direction the beadle forthwith assembled the inquest, and witnew, under their view, seised, at the shop of Mr. Sowton, twenty-seven joints of mutton, alleged to be the property of a Mr. Bruce ; at M r . Jones's four leg s mutton; at Mr. Macey's four quarters ; and at Hr. Taylor's six joints. Mr. Wilton and Mr. Scott, of the Inquest, deposed that in their kulgment the meat was unfit for the food of man in which opinion Mr. Ewer, $ muter butcher in the market, Mr. Fisher, Clerk of the Market, said he had been a butcher. He bad not seen the meat till this morning. It was not now all unfit for food. The Alderman desired him to select such as were still fit to be eaten. Mr. Fisher accordingly overhauled the lot, and picked out three leg, of mutton, which were &lima as the mverty of Mr. Druce, and re. turned to him, by direction of the MaOtrate.
