'llie total charge for the litture Civil List his Lordship estimated at 1,139,1951. This includes the Windsor Establishment, the 041.00a1. fur the Pritoy Purse. and the addi tional 10,0901. granted to her Majesty in consequence of the inilisposilieu, when Mr. Perceval forum' the present arrangement. This 170.0001. 'lodated, the estimates would he reduced to 1,1'0.1,0001.; and of this the sum of 109.0001. only is appropriated to the public splendour and dialiestie en . joyments of the Crown. The Noble Lord concluded with moving tin leave to bring in a Lill for the better regulation of the Civil List. _ Mr. Tieusev did not tils.jr.t to the bringing in of the ; •stot pledging himself to support it, IT he should, upon a com pete understanding of its contents, find it necessary to op pose' it.

Mr. Horner then brought In an enacting clause. compelling the Bank Direetors to adopt preparatory steps, enabling them to resume cash payments as . soon after the passing of the present Act as seemed in their judgment practicable and safe. The Chancellor of the Esche. quer opposed this clause, as implying a cenAurc on the flank, and hieing tanueeessary and on Irt division it was negative dby II majority of ISt to 51.

St."Lastrente. an excise Officer, who was carried off in the 'sight from his house at Cookstown. in Ireland, some tissue ago, by a number of men who broke into it, has happily re turned to his family. It appears it was the intention of the vil lains, on taking Mr. St. Lawrence from his own house, to pat a weight to his feet,lind throw bins into a deep lake in the moon. tains ot 'some short distance. They;however, soon changed their Plan, and proceeded with their captive, who was, it may be recollected, without •any covering but a shirt, until they ar rived at a cabin on the t uad , about three miles off; where, after arsine altercation, a pair of old small clothes was given to the unhappy prisoner, to defend him a little from the signors of the eight. Thus equipped, he was carried, in a state of uneertaiuty itS to his fate, about 12 or 13 miles further, through a Mountain ous tract of country, and then removed from the horse on which be had been tied, into a dark apartment in a waste house. A bandage was then fastened across his eyes, with an injunction not to remove it on pain of death. In this di eadful situation he remained during the whole of the fallowing day, and the succeeding night was removed across the mountains to another place equally unconithrtaldt% During his captivity (a hide continued for 13 6,, and nights,) he was never suffered to re main more than two nights and din one place ; all of Which time he was nearly without clothes, except in his nightly ex cursions, when something like a wet sack was thrown over his shpuldeis.—Victuals wer e else , hoitai., denied him ; but the fLitse of their being poisoned prevented him from eating any thing but eggs. The effect of the cold on het frame was such, that when at one time he was admitted to a fire, tf^ mat red Isis feet to remain on the burning coals without feeling any pain, until the embers had almost etnhedded themselves in the flesh. To the judicious measure of the Judge at the last Omagh as sizes, it is thought that Mr. St. Lawrence is indebted for li berty and life ; as . each of the persons against whom he had sworn informations for having private stills in their possession, &c. was there seotenced to three years imprisonment, subject to mitigation should Mr. St. Lawrence be produced in court, Or restored to his family. This had the desired effect, as he was soon told by some of his keepers that they bad come to the resolution of giving him his liberty. He teas accordingly led to a moss in the mountain, where the band3o was removed from his eyes, and he was left to nuke the best of Ids way home. He had not, however, proceeded far, when, startled by people following, - Ile lay down flat among a quantity of heath until they passed; and by this means saved his life, as it turned out to be a party of the villains who bad repented of allowiug him la escape. DREADFUL EXPLOSION. Tot:Louse, Arum 18.—This city has just stiffered n 'fright fnl calamity. Tuesday, the Nth of April, the powder mills and magazines sitnuted in the Isle d'Augouleme. exploded at live minutes past four with a dreadful noise. Three explosions succeeded N% ith the rapidity of lightning, and threw the city into alarm and confusion. Frightened by the violence of the explosion, the shaking of the buildings, the falling of the in ternal partitions, the tall of stones and pantiles, and the break ing of glass which fell iu the streets, the inhabitants at first thought that this disaster was produced by an earthquake or a meteor.— It was soon known that the powder-mills had ex and that the first explosion was that of the graining house ; the second of the grand magazine; and the third of the little magazine. Yoon afterwards :to imiueuse number of gar ments and ot latman bodies were found scattered in various parts of the town. The body of a lad), and that of the son of the It:rector of the establishment, were found. This lady's ease was very unfortimate ; she had long wished to gratify her cu riosity with a sight of the Isle d'Angouleme, and was accom panied by a beautiful girl, her daughter, and a young man who was betrothed to her: all these perished! Several mutilated bodies have been found so far oil as the opposite banks of the Garonne. All yesterday workmen were employed in digging ; but very few whole bodies were discovered ; some were round, however, w hick had neither mark of wound nor contusion. Of fourteen workmen employed in the mundfactory dnly three were saved. About sixteen persons in all are supposed to have been killed, and about four arc dreadfully wounded. All the Wilding, on the spot where the accident happen. d are completely destroyed. The site of the powder magazine pre sents sin extensive excavation of about rnenty ft et deep and 200 broad. The trees along the banks of the river were torn up by the roots and thrown into the stream. Enormous masses of stoneNvere carried to a considerable distance, and several houses in he city were damaged by Atones falling on the roofs. The mills blown up contained about 12:0 gunnels of powder. A few nights since a threshing machine belonging to Mr. J. Fenton, of Whelnetham, was set fire tn. on the premises of Mr. Sarjciult, of Cocklicld, and eutirely couetuutd. TIIT NATIONAL RPAlstn. PROVINCIALS. A near kind of groundvnion has been introduced into Scot land from Egypt, by Captain John Born, R. N.—lt is larger than the common onion ; In brae and quality it is the same; diut it has a material advantage over it in this particular, that it planted about the middle of April, it will he fully ripe about the same time in September. It is not liable to the •asnalties which the seed onion is subject to ; and no instance has yet oc curred where it hits been injured by vermin or insects. At the t )ticyi Yorkshire) Agricultural Show, a few daysago, a portable 'Thrashing Machine MA6 t hibited by the maker, which appeared to give universal satistkction. To convey this machine fram farm to farm requires only the aid of a pair of cart wheels and one horse ; it may be unpacked and set to work in a quarter of an hour. Tvo horses going at the rate of two miles and a half per hour, will thrash front 7 to 12 bushels, and four horses from 15 to 2U bushels of wheat per hour. At Mr. Unssell's farm near Non:ton, the oxen are worked with a collar instead of a yoke: and it has been proved, that four oxen worked with a collar will tin more, and with greater ease, than six own in x yoke. 'llierefore it in our interest, as well as our duty to the cause of hi:lnanity, to make the expe riment. NAIURAL Pricgomen.t.A sow belonging to Mr. Stephen Applegate, of Westbury Leigh. lately farrowed eight pigs; one of n hich had a rose like a hare; the second the sante, with a tooth on each side of its nostrils, one of its hind legs with three claws, two others like a bird's, only quite straight ; the third had one of its hinder legs straight behind, but no foot, the other midi one Single chw t u rned; the fourth had no bind legs at all, but with its fore legs coelil make a little progress in walk ing, and haul a nose like a hare; the fifth and sixth no hinder legs ; the seventh with its two hinder legs timed vile round; the eighth in right shape and tbrm. enicrrEsTen, A PRI r. renahing the pavement belong ing to the Poor House of this city, the workmen discovered a sepulthial vault of brick, neatly arched, 12ft. Gin, in leu;th.by Eft. loin. in width, in which was deposited a leaden coffin, pre senting the bead in its true shape, by the lead around it fitting like a cap : the height of the body was isft. loin. The coffin appeared to fit rinse to the body ; and, on examination, there appeared to be a dark humid moisture amongstthe bones,of the consistence of paste. Every conjecture respecting the person age so encased has been unsatisbmtury; and the greatest pains have been taken to find an inscription within the vault, without success. It is conjectured to be the remains of the founder of the Almshouses (now the Pctor's house), Wm. Crawley, who was Member of Parliament for this city mud who voted for and signed the dceth•warraut or Charles I. His large estates in this neighbourhood were confiscated on the Restoration ; and he, as a Regicide, was exiled abroad, where ue died, and was afterwards brought here to be privately interred. In the same vault there were two other skeletons of a fnll•growu rase, the decayed parts VC their wooden coffins lying amongst the bones. 'On tretinemlay, a Pop, two years and a half old, the on of R. Cardin, Lilq. of Nlaidstune, escaped from his nurse, and shortly afterwards was found'drowned In a bath in his father's garden. On Monday, • boy, eight years old, votlis <knfl fractured by two carts meeting and ernshing his head between them, in the Gran-market, Edinburgh. The operation of trepan was im mediately performeif, and there are hopes entertained of his recovery. A fpw days since, Mr. Thomas Buchanan, Precentor to the College Chapel, Glasgow, was found killed in the Close in which he lived in the Saltmarket. He had fallen from the stair:window, four stories high, but the manner of his g ' g over is not ascertained. A person of the nanie of J. M.Kiiilay was afterwards found on the stalls, and has tivvu imprisoned On sitspicitm. Tivestlay se'nnight Helen Reid tras foimil guilty, at the Court of Justiciary in Aberdeen, of the murder of her husband, by stabbidg hini with a knife. She is to be executed on the 31bt of May. A few nights since a fire 'was discovered on the premises of Mr. S. Hustler, of Gedding, which raged so furiously, that in a short time a barn, neat-house, and cart-lodge, together with SS combs of wheat, a quantity of straw, some live stock, &c. were entirely consumed. The premises were insured, and there is a strong suspicion that they were wilfully set on tire. Wednesday morning, a fire broke ont in Martlesham Hall, near Ipswich. The fire burst forth at two parts of the pre mises, near 150 yards distant, at the same instant, and did con siderable damage W the out-baildings, and it was with great difficulty the house was preserved. Suspicion arose that the fire was the work of some cendiu ry ; and the following day a labourer, named Ilrigg, was taken into custody, and committed to Uoodbridge Gaol. At Stamford quarter sessions on Saturday week, Clement Adams was tbund guilty of stealing two blankets from the Poor house ill ss hid) he was lodged in that borougl►, and (having re pea teats before been convicted of similar offences) was sen tenced :even years transportation. —lite love of drink seems to has e berg the only incentive to this mach roguery, and has been his min, as it has ruined thousands of others. He had obtained a pension front Chelsea Hospital for many years' ser vices in the army ; but one of his former convictions having been certified to the proper authorities, that allowance had been for some time discontinued. For this deprivation the flatfish man thought he owed a grudge, not to the lad habit A% Melt had brought on his tons and disgrace, but to the Deputy- Recorder, by whom his conviction had been certified to the Governors of Chelsea Hospital.; on his trial, therefore, he mouthed out the strangest imprecations on the learned gentle man (Mr. Torkiugton the Barrister); and at last, in return fur the sentence pronounced on him, he very emphatically sen tenced the "rogue in a gowu" to fifty years' accommodation in a ray a•arto station! On Friday se' n uigbt, as Mr. Chaplin, of Rochester, ac companied by a young lady, was driving home, two men Stopped the gig, one of whom caught hold of the bridle, and robbed Mr. C. and the lady of their money, and took from Mr. C. his gold murk and pocket-book. The Mat wa•, however, returned. Time man then wished them good night, and said that necessity bad driven hint to so desperate a mode of sup porting himself. While this luau was robbing, the other stood at a distance, and fired at the chaise, the ball of which passed through the bonnet of Miss C. On Mr. C. giving notire of the robbery at Struod Gate, he learnt that Mr. Rodmell and Mr. Amermfey, of Stroud, had met two suspicious characters on the London road, and expressed their belief that the wcu %sunlit return to tow n over the fields, through Frindsbury. Theme gentlemen then went in pursuit, and met the delinquents near Ftindsbury, Uhl I/ a scuffle ensued, which ended 111 their ea. cape. Four men have been apprehended, and underwent an examination, and were all discharged but one, named linight, who was remanded. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Tuesday, April SO. BANKRUPTS. J. CAUDIR.
