ithin the recollection of many Gentlemen now at the Bar, the following circumstance occurred in the Court at Carliztle:—A Highlander was (under the form of outl► us administered in the English Courts) giving such evidence, in a particular cause, as convinced every one who heard him that he was giving false testimony. It was suggested by the opponent Counsel, that lie should be sworn after the custom of the Highlanders, viz. that be should hold up his right hand, and imprecate curses upon himself and all .his connections, if what he was stating was not true.—Aftcr this was done, the wilt witness declined giving a word of the same evidence, shrewdly observing, " that there was a baetle of difference between blawing on a buke (book) and d—ning a man's ain stul." The removal of the hulk or vessel belonging to the Police Establishment from Somerset-house to Whitehall, without any notice, and the employment of the River Patrole to protect the Italian witnesses lodged at Cotton-yard, has atiiirded an opportunity to the river pirates to renew their depredations upon the public. On Wednesday night a desperate gang of thieves boarded a barge lying at the Southwark Bridge, and succeeded in robbing her of four valu able packages, besides making attempts upon others. Surely, if the service of the State on this occasion requires the employment of the police watchmen fir any other than their regular duty, the public has a right to expect that additional hands should be engaged, it seems otherwise a neglect of the pub lic security. A person is in custody, who heretofore was not a suspected character, charged on suspicion of passing forged notes. On searching some apartments in the neighbourhood of Lawrence-lane, two hundred I/ notes were found, and sixty forged .51. notes. In Newgate there are seventy more prisoners fur trial at present, than there were at this time last year, many of whom are fur passing forged notes. It is much to be lamented that the manufacturers and fabricators of spurious bank notes cannot be dis covered. On Friday a female child, three years of age, fell out of a two-pair of stairs window in Cow-cross, and was taken up dreadfully bruised, but none of her bones were broken. She cried at the time to her mother to forgive her, and that she would never do it again. .She was taken to the hospital in a cradle. She ran to the window to see some dancing dogs, and the scat being low, she fell out before she was discovered. To desteoy Caterpillars.—A gardener at Glasgow has a mode of destroying caterpillars, which he dis covered by accident. A. piece of woollen rag had born blown by the wind into a currant bush, and when taken out was found covered with these leaf- devouring insects. He immediately placed pieces of woollen cloth in every bush in his garden, and timid the next day that the caterpillars had univer sally taken to them for shelter. In this way he destroys many thousands every morning. A few days ago a melancholy accident happened in Leeds, As Mr. Joseph Jackson, a promising young man, the son of' Mr. Robert Jackson, a cloth erNier, was adjusting one of the straps on a machine at his fathers gig.mill, in the Leylands, his arm was caught by the strap, and in a moment he was drawn into the revolving machine, which could not be. stopped till it had mangled his limbs in a manner too shocking for description. When extricated from his dreadful situation, some faint signs of life stlil remained ; but in two hours after lie had been conveyed to the house of his agonized parents, he breathed his last.
