TOBACCO. LILLY, in his Hist&y of his Lives and Times, men-' tions one William Breadon, Parson or Vicar of Thorn ton, in Bucks, who was so given over to tobacco and drink, that when he had no tobacco (and probably too much drink), he would cut the beltropes and smoke them ! Poets have frequently sung the praises of tobacco. The following quaint thought is found in an old col lection of Epigrams : " 121. A TOBACCONIST. " All daintie meats I do defie, Which feed men fat as swine: • He is a frugal man indeed That on a leaf can dine ! He needs no napkin for his hands, His finger; ends to wipe ' • Then keeps his kitchen in abox, And roast meat in a pipe !" The strain of the subsequent parody, in the style of AMBROSE PHILLIPS, differs widely from the in vective of BURTON and other old writers : " Little tube of mighty pow'r, • Charmer of an idle hour, Object of my warm desire, Lip of wax, and eye of fire: And thy onovi , y taper waist, With my finger gently brac'd ; • And thy pretty swelling crest, With my little. stopper prest DESCRIPTION OF TIMBUCTOO. The following description of Timbuctoo, collected from a Tartar traveller, who had arrived at the Gold Coast, appears in the Royal Gazette and Sierra Leone Advertiser, of June 7: About Timbuctoo and Jinne, wild fowl are very plentiful, as are also poultry, particularly ducks; there ate also great numbers of cattle, goats, sheep (very large), a few small horses, no camels, except what are brought by traders; asses without number, and dogs. Of. wild animals, he mentioned the ele phant, antelope, lynx, and fox—tame rabbits of dif ferent colours are kept in the house. The food of the principal people consists of poultry, the flesh of cattle, vats, and sheep, and of fish, which they have various modes of dressing, boiling, frying. &c. he has seen some fish brought into the market for sale, fried; mach butter is made at Timbuctoo and Jinne, from goat and cow's milk—this they use to dress their fish, &c. with, and eat it with their bread, but never use it to rub over their bodies. They grind their corn on stones, and make a kind of bread of it ; this the common people eat with goat's milk. There are some pits at Timbuctoo from which the common people procure their water, but that which is used by the superior class is lit ought from • the Nlazzt : this water, which he says is excellent, is carried in skins on as.es, and it takes them about three hours to go there. Miik is also drank, and by those ss ho can afford it, a kind of fermented beer, called Geeah, made of the Indian corn—he is ignorant of the process of making it : being shewn some of the beer which is common on some paits of the Gold Coast, called Pitto, he said it was like that, but not $0 rood. Tiie - rich people use spoons and folks, he has seen there some spoons made of gold, some of silver, and some of iron—they also use plates; when questioned how they procure them, his reply was that they were brotiert by the traders, and they got them from " Gibralt.” The common people use ttieir fingers, and eat out of wooden bowls. No cocoa-nuts at Timbuctoo, neither did he see them at any part until became to Cape Coast. No yams, no plaintains : water melons in great plenty, and other fruit which could not be recognised by his description. No pine apples at Timbuctoo, but saw (roe atdinne: honey plentiful; and at Timbuctoo they have a particular kind of bread, in w hich honey is mixed when they are making it. He describes the climate of Timbuctoo as extremely hot. The rainy season he understood to be approaching at the time he was at Timbuctoo, which he thinks was about thirteen months ago. The rains, he heard, continued about four months, during the first two they are very heavy, and after that for the next two months light. After the first two months the caravans come from the Desert, to the number of many hundred camels. About midway between Tandeny and Timbuctoo, at a place called ilawan, they often separate, some going to Sansanding and Sogo, some to Timbuctoo. The Timbucton traders have a particular room or. shop in their houses, in which their goods ate packed up in boxes; they have also many pieces ef cloth hung on a line exposed to view opposite the door, but those inside of the houses are for slim. Ile understood it took the caravans of the Arab traders from Fez and Meguinez thiee months to perform their journey to Timbuctoo. The articles of trade which they bring are cotton cloths, clothing, silks, iron, beads, silver, tobacco in rolls, paper, earthenware, and tar. In ex change for which they get gold dust, ivory, the teeth of the, hippopotami, gum, and ostrich feathers; slaves also form a considerable portion of their returns. He states the price of a man slave " if handsome," to be about the value of thirty dollars, if otherwise six- teen dollars, of a young female about twenty five dollars. The price of gunpowder is high at Tim buctoo: when he was questioned on this point, he looked about him, and seeing a small, crystal basin on the sideboard, he took it up, and said that as much as such as that would hold (about 111 b.) would cost the value of three dollars at Timbuctoo, two dollars at Sallagha, how much at Cormassie . be did not know. Gunpowder is not brought to Timbuctoo by the Arabs, but by the met chants from Kong and other places immediately connected with the Ashan tok: trade. Never heard of any copper mines in the interior, neither did be see any iron manufactured in any part he has visited. They get their iron at Tim buctoo from Fez, and it is conveyed in short bars on each side of the camels. When inquiry was made as to its price be measured twice the length of his arm from the elbow, to which be added one span, Rid said it was worth five dollars. There is much gold at•Timbuctoo, but not so =ltch as at Sansanding, where be heard there are . valuable gold mines, and a great number of Arabs - resort there to trade. Cowries are current at Tim buctoo for the purchase of provisions, but they are not taken in trade by the Arabs; about three thou sand of them are the value of a dollar. Their musical instruments are a kind of rude fid dle, flutes, and drums. All offences are punished by order of the Sultan. Great offences, particularly " meddling with any of .the Sttltau's wives," are punished by hanging. He did not see any one hanged, but saw a gallows there; he described the process by making two men stand at a short distance from each other, and placing a stool between them, put his stick on their heads, with a handkerchief on it touching the stool, which he then kicked away. The punishment for theft is confinement, flogging, and restitution of the value, and servitude until paid. He says there is a house appropriated to the purpose of confinement, and which is guarded by four Ten with muskets. Circumcision is general among the people at Timbuctoo, who are all Mussulmans. He does not know the exact number of mosques, but recollects three large ones, two of which were built by the King, and one by the Arab traders. He heard that Timbuctoo was formerly subject to Bambarra, but ceased to be so since the latter had a war with the Foululls in which they were defeated; Sultan Mahomed is therefore independent, although not powerful; for he says that his controul does net extend much beyond Timbuctoo itself. Mahomed succeeded Sultan Aboubekir, who he heard died about eight years ago—is ignorant who was his pre decessor. Aboubekir was extremely rich. Wargee retnained at Timbuctoo five weeks, during which time he lived in Sultan Mabomed's house, and was treated by him with the greatest kindness. He never heard of any white man having been at Timbuctoo. FLOODS IN SCOTLAND. Accustomed as we are to moisture - this season, few people, we apprehend, were prepared for the tremen dous rain that fell on the night of Wednesday and i morning of Thursday se'nnight. For nearly 12 hours, the rain literally descended in torrents, and looked more like the 'commencement of a second deluge, than the ordinary outpcuring of the Lammas floods. The Dryfe and Milk (tributaries to the Annan) have not been so high for twenty years; and, considering the season of the year, the same thing may be said of the Nith. The Lochar, too, has been playing sad freaks with the poor people's peats. For more than forty years this stream has .not been so high. The floods were particularly alarmin in all'that district of country which borders on the Solway Fr ith. Every stream that falls into this estuary was swollen to a height never before known in the memory of of man :everywhere the burns overflowed their banks, deluging and " snding up" numerous fields of grain, demolishing hay-ricks, peat-stacks, &c. and convect ing large tracks of meadow land into temporary lakes. Houses that were previously thought inaccessible to the river-gods, were suddenly isolated and cloaked full of water; while many of the terrified and be leaguered inch rtes were forced to adopt the most hi dicrous expedients with the view of transporting themselves to a place of safety. Here you might have seen a sturdy clown up to the middle in water, with his wife on his back, and two children in his arms, a third clinging to the neck of its mother, and a fourth holding fast by the skirts of her petticoats; there an old and lanerly woman struggling through the flood, with her plaid and other garments floating behind, and impeding rather than favouring her progress. In one instance, the children of a washerwoman escaped by means if their mother's washing-paili; while the mother heis,Af was piloted to land by her husband, in a float formed of an inverted ironing -table; and at Cockpool, a young man actually made use of an old salt-pan to ferry himself over a new-formed pond, with the view of ascertaining the fate of his pigs. At seven, A.M. on Saturday, afresh deluge was ex perienced in this neighbourhood, nearly in Me form of a voter-spout, and which appears to have been cslit•fly telt in the parish of Carlaverock. At the farm of Shearrington, siz acres of turnips and four of rape were completely swept away ; that a great number of carts of lime, spread' and to spread, were carried into the Lochar; the children were catching eels ia scores and dozens, lying dying or dead ; and on the farm of Shearrington alone, the loss of lime, &c. will amount to SOL sterling, independently of a prospective loss, which cannot be estimated. At Carlaverock, the rain descended in torrents from the higher grounds, sweep. ing away dykes, and filling up ditches with the rub bish collected in its course.. The public roads exhi bited a stream of water from eighteen inches to two feet deep, which has cut up and injured them in an incredible maaner.—Duntfries Courier. THEATRICALS EXTRAORDI NA RY.—MT. GA RNER, the Librarian of Margate, performed the part of Shy lock at that Theatre on Saturday last, for the benefit of Mr. W. REED. Mr. GARNER is 7G years of age; yet he gave an excelle.it portraitute of the sordid Jew. A fleece of wool, weighing slbs. was lately sheared from a mountain sheep, the property of Wm. DA VIES, Esq. of Cwmsairbren, Glamorganshire. It is rather singular that the number of pounds weight of tea, and the number of bushels of malt, consumed annually, now nearly correspond. The following account of the accommodation on board of a steam-boat at theferry of Alloa, given in a Scotch Pal er, shews the improvemont to which that mode of conveyance may be brought :—Post-chaises ' carts, and carriages of every description, are driven into and out of the boat without unharnessing tha horses, and Gentlemen in gigs, who formerly had the tiogble of taking off -their horses, aibd hoisting their gigs into the boat, with no small risk to the vehicle itself, now drive on board, cross the river, and drive out again, without even descending from their car riages. Gentlemen on horseback never think of dismounting. A few days ago, ten carts, loaded with malt from Glasgow, each weighing two tons,! crossed at one time. Saturday se might, a detach ment of upwards of twenty of the Clackmananshirel Yeomanry Cavalry marched down the March Pier, entered the boat, diew up on deck with as much or- 1 der as if they had been on the parade, crossed, and returned, without so much as disordering their line' of march, to the great surprise and entertainment of the numerous spectators who witnessed the novel and amusing sight. Such is the effs.ct of perseverance and industry in the science of Medicine, that great numbers, many of whom had lingered under the Most painful and obstinate disorders, who were pronounced incurable by respectable practioners, and several discharged from hospitals, have been restored to perfect health by the celebrated Dr. EADY, who, after a long and la ' borious practice, is enabled to remove the most obstinate Vene real Complaints, however long and deeply fixed in the habit.— Eruptions, Pains in the Limbs, obstinate Gleets, Dimness of Sight, Nodes on the shin-bones, Ulceration, and Sore Throats, are among the symptoms arising out of improper treatment, and which without timely assistance prove fatal. The Doctor is consulted daily by patients of both sexes, at 3S, Deaa.street; Soho, by persons from every part of the country,and by Letter (if post paid) enclosing a fee. ASSIZES. LANCASTER, AUGUST 20. Henry Blackhurst, late an attorney at Preston, was indicted for having compounded several offences un der the Game Laws. • _ _ Mr. SCARLETT, in stating the case, observed, that in the execution of penal laws, it was essential to se cure the King's subjects against every perversion of their purpose, but above all, to prevent a misapplica tion of their spirit and extension to meet the sordid views of legal speculators. There were too many in stances of designing men profiting by such artifices. But above all persons who merited the severest in fliction of punishment which the violated spirit of the law demanded, it was he, who in virtue of a respect able profession availed himself of the provisions of a Statute to contravene its purposes, by converting that which was an enactment of law into a process of dis turbing the peace, and acquiring base lucre by his offences. An Act had been passed in the reign of Queen Anne, by which any qui tam informer was prevented from compromising any action without the consent of the Court in which the action was brought. The offenders against this .Statute were subjected, amongst other punishments, to the pillory in the public market-place. By a late Statute the punish ment of the pillory was repealed, save in an isolated case, Tie was prepared to lay before them no less than five instances in which Mr. Blackhurst had violated the statute, and had by a regular systematic scale •of personal and professional cupidity perverted the pur poses of the Statute Law. In one instance he received the amount of a made-tip bill of costs from a del gy man, •wlto,.wliether apprehensive of perjured wit nesses, or unwilling to appear in a Court of Jus tice under such circumstances, submitted to the frau dulent imposition. Mr. Justice BAYLEY observed, that as he under stood the defendant had already pail the penalties, the only cbject now was to prevent him acting as plaintiff or informer in any future action. • Mr. SGARLETT—II will remain with the Court, to decide whether, if convicted, the defendant should be fined or imprisoned, itplieul,f the pillory. Mr. Dewhurst, Mr. Thomas Dewhurst, Mr. Cat ter.,ll, an attorney at Preston, and another witness, were called for the prosecution, when Mr. BROUGHAM interposed, to save the time of the Court, and said, that in this prodigious indict ment, comprising between 300 and 400 folios, and containing 67 counts, it was laid that the defendant had acted as an attorney. Now he would contend that the Act of Elizabeth merely applied to the actual informer w h o was plaintiff, and not to the attorney who professionally commenced or conducted the cause. A long discussion here took place between Coun sel at both sides and the Court, when the .Tury found a verdict against the defendant on the 56th count; which was for acting under a colourable proceeding in his process, and compounding. The defendant then entered his own recognizances, upon a mutual understanding that judgment should be postponed. As Carnage had witnessed no breach of the pease himself, St JAHYS toad him he should have exerted himself to disperse, any crowd, and left the parties to settle their differences by applica tion to the Magistrate in the morning; at the same time expri-s -sing his great surprise that a constable should take upon himself to decide cases at a watch.houre. " When parties," said Sir JAMES, " are given in custody, the Magistrate only, and not the constable, is to decide as to their liberation." Mr. Taylor said, he had thought he must uie his own discretion on the charges brought before him. .If he were to send all the parties who came before - him on frivolous charges to the Compter, it would not only be putting them to great inconvenience, hut giving the Magistrate very considerable additional trouble. The pa•sinn which bad produced a trifling quarrel in the street soon cooled in a watch-house, and the parties shook hands atid withdrew their charges. In such cases he had generally discharged the prisoner. He should, however, be happy to be instructed in his duty. Sir Jamas SHAW appealed to Mr. Payne, the,clerk, as to the cor rectness of the law he had laid down. Mr. Payne; however, aware from his experience at this Office, of the coastant, and iii many cases unavoidable, deviation iii practice from this strict line of conduct, seistned but half willing to join in promolgating this law to the multitude of officers in attendance. The City Soli.; citor was in consequence called down, and having no such scrums pies, or reasons for reserve, unhesitatingly declared it as his opinion that an officer was not warranted in taking a person into custody for a breach of the peace, unless hE had himself seen the peace broken, and that a constable had no discretion as to a. person once committed to his custmly, and no authority whatever to discharge him withoat bringintt him before a Magistrate. Huw this law (no doubt correct) determined that Wines had been detained improperly hi custody is not apparent; he however had the benefit of it, and was di,- charged with a suitable admonition from the Magistrate. A knowledge that such is the law may certainly he necessary to keep constables and watchmen within the due limits of their authority. It - is however proper to add, that Mr. Taylor, front his practical knowledge of the utter impossibility of acting strictly up to it in many cases, so pressed the worthy City Soli citor wink questions for the guidance of his future conduct 24 a constable, that the Learioal Gentleman was at length compelled to declare, that every case must stud upon its own bottom, and that a constable must be left to act on his own discretion upon his coen responsibility. acainumon-Seaxer.—Yesterday information was received at this Office that the residence of the Countess of Pomfret, No. 'al, Portman-square, bad been entered by thieves early that morning, during the temporary absence of the housekeeper, the Countess and family being sotourniog at Brighton. Staples, an intelligent officer, was deputed to inspect the premises, and on inspection gave it as his opinion that the robbers must have got over the area, descended the steps, and entered the house through the kitchen-window; they then proceeded up stairs, and stole from the hall the bracket clock, which hid, been before attempted to have been stolen, and for security was fastened by a chain, which was broken in two by the robbers. All the monks in the house were untouched, and no other property was missing. Within the last three months no less than bracket clocks have been stolen front the halls of Gentlemen's houses at this cud of the town. It is supposed that the thieves dispose of thetsi by sending them to-France and Holland. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, AUGUST 22.

Success or THE Wiccamurrs THIS Vass.—One has gained the University Prise for Latih Prose; six were classed, (viz. three in the senior, two in the second, and ono in the junior class); two gained prizes at Trinity College, Dublin ; and a tenth get the head prize at the East India College, at lertford. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Mansimr-House.—Several vagrants were brought before his Lordship, and amongst. them were a man and a boy, from a re mote part of the country. They had been discharged from the quarries, with a number of others, and travelled up to the Metro polis with the view of getting something to do, but as they knew no other trade than that of breaking stones, and had not from their infancy been out of the neighbourhood of their stone quarry to learn anything, neither of them could get any employment. The man was soon in a condition sufficiently wretched to excite compassion by his appearance, and he set up the trade of a men dicant, and having found one profitable street, the officers could not keep hint from it, and were obliged to take him in custody. The boy, however, who is a rough lad of about seventeen, went a different way to work to obtain a livelihood. The officers said they always found hint surrounded by a crowd, whom he amused by tumbling and imitations, and moat extraordinary antics, which they could not describe. The Loan Maros said the tread-kill would surely be his pu nishment if he were again found creating crowds in the streets, but in consideration of his talents his Lordship discharged him, with the advice to exercise them in a less exceptionable way.— The elder prisoner, who had been exceedingly insolent, and shewn a determination to stick to his new trade, was sent, as a forewarning, to take a turn at the tread-mill. After his Lordship bad quitted the Justice-Room, the young lad returned, and offered to shew what he could do, and per mission having been given. him by the officers to exhibit a spe cimen of his talents, he took a little flute front his pocket, and played several airs in the first style, with a peculiarity of tone and brilliant execution, with cadences which astonished aU those in the Justice-Room. He increased their astonishment by taking, a ruler from the desk and making the same tones appear to pro .ceed from it as from the flute. He then performed and gave the tones of the German flute simply from his month, and :hewed that he did it by turning the end of his tongue into the shape of a small tube, through which he blew and produced the sound. He imitated the nightingale in admirable style, and said be could give similar imitations of other birds. Lastly, as he stood up -1 right, he lifted up his right leg and put the foot round his neck, so that the sole of his bob-nailed boot came by the side of his left cheek. In that extraordinary position he danced about on his left leg, playing a lively air, and finished by executing three pirouettes with as much ease and activity, though not with as much elegance, as Vestris himself could have performed them in the ordinary wanner. Some Gentlemen present rewarded the ex hibition, and he left the Justice-Room with the intention of turning histalents to account in another part of the country. GUILDHALLTHII Law AS TO TMK AUTHORITY or CONSTABLIN AND Wsrorsass.—A person of-respectable appearance, named Daniel Elmer, was brought up yesterday before the Sitting Al derman, Sir JAMBS SHAW, charged as disorderly, whose case, or rather the discussions that arose out of it, occupied the atten tion or the Magistrate for upwards dm hour, with a view to defizse the just limits of. the authority of constables and watchmen. The facts of the case were simple enough. Gamage, watchman in St. Andrew's parish, was calledto the Bell Inn, Elolborn, to take charge of a man of the name of Green, who, according to the statement made to Gamage, by Sampson, the pugilist, bad pelted hint while riding by on horseback, with mud, and then made his escape into the hut-yard, and locked himself In one of the rooms. By the persuasion of the landlord, Green unlocked the door; Sampson gave charge of him, and Gamage immediately collared him. Green resisted going to the watch-house, and in that re sistance he was assisted by the prisoner Elmo, who protested' he should not go; and, to prevent it, collared. Gamage in his turn. The spring of the rattle brought more assistance; and, in , the end, Green was taken to the watch-hOuse, whither lames having followed,was charged by the watchmen with endeavouring to rescue him from them.—The Constable of the Night, Mr. C. Taylor, a respectable inhibitant, serving in his own right, after, heating the case, Sampson v. Green, and learning that they ha. sufficiently retaliated on each other, recommended them to be satisfied with what bad passed, to which they consenting, the charge-was withdrawn, and the parties went peaceably home. Obstructing the officers in their duty appeared to Mr. Taylor a more serious offence, more especially as the evidence of the fact dill not rest merely on their testimony, but was corroborated by two or three disinterested spectators, and Mines was sent to the Compeer for the night. If Eimeshad been charged, as he ought to have been, with an assault upon the watchman, there would have been no difficulty in the case; but being charged with an attempt to rescue a prisoner Who never was rescued; and who, in the Constable's opinion ought not to have been in custody at aU or ho would _not have discharged him; a question arose ill the mind of the Magistrate as to the propriety of the conduct of the constable and his watchman, not only with regard to the prisoner Elmes, but the whole transaction. .
