It rams up in the month of May last, but being nipped by the frost, was cut off level with the ground with a knife. It sprouted - again soon and produced five -stalks, besides the main one ; four of which had two ears of corn apiece, and the main stalk had four ; one stalk nothing. The whole 12 can yielded one quart and one pint of shelled corn, heaped anessure, making ih all three thousand seven hundred and teu grains from the one grain.

On the Orange farm, in the vicinity of Philadelphia, -there are 100 milch cove, which are fed on food cooked by *team. The cows give more milk,and it is sweeter and richer in consequence.

It weighs forty-two pounds avoirdupois. On examining it critically, he dis t overed in several parts of it points of native silver. This i the first native silver found in this region." The letter adds, that a vein of copper ore has also been discovered on the south shore of Lake Superior. on a point of land, just at the water's Or. It is reported to be extensive. Mr. S. - Las in his possession many specimens of this ore; and the *ATI?e kind is stated by Professortleavland to yield seventy re per cent. COURT OF KtN(l BENCH, N0v.27. COOWN OEMS FEES. hie. F.Jostits sbewed cause against a rule obtained' Mr. Eves in person, calling on Messrs. Belt anti Soo, who held the Middlesex and London seats respectively, in 'the Crown office, to refund to him certain fees of office charged by them as clerks in Court for him in a prosecution for a libel. The fees anionnted to about 4/. Mr. Eves had la:en indicted for a libel, and was under terms to give notice .of trial for the sitting after Hilary Term, IS2'2. omitted to do so, and having employed Messrs.-Belt and Sea to do the needful for him in Court, they from time to tiu.e respited his recognizances to prevent an ',treat into the Exchequer. For this they charged the a-nal and accustomed fees, a co nsiderable portion of which were for camp duties. The affidavits in answer to the Tale now gave an explicit account of every shilling re ceived, and proved that the fees were such as might lowfiitly be demanded by the authority of an Act of Per- Cameos. Mr. Evas was heard in person, and urged that the fees .. 7 in question could not be demanded unless sanctioned by custom beyond PO memory. The custom set up ,here was, only of fourteen years standing, and after having cited Bleeksionis Conimentaries, be contended that be wren entitled to have his rule made absolute. • The Conax were of opinion that the rule ought not to be discharged. If the officers of the Court were not en. titled to fees, the Court would be without officers at all, because no man could be expected to give his time and attention to the suitors gratuitously. In this case Mr. Eves emtended that the officers were entitled to nothing :whatever. This was an unreasonable proposition, and c nein!) , could not be sanctioned.—Kule discharged with. out costs, TIE HERTFORDSHIRE MAGISTRATES. On a former day a Mandamus issoed to the Justices of the Peace for the county of Hertford, commanding them to admit to the county gaol Mr. Jay and Mr. Penton, for the parpose of receiving instructions far the defence of John Th oriel% st the approaching Assizes, for the alleged murder of the late Mr. Weare. Mr. PLATT now delivered in the Magisttates' return to (be mandamus, and prayed that it might be read and tiled. -The neoal prac;icc, perhaps, did not require that the return should be openly read in Court, but as a good dealof mis representation had gone abroad respecting the conduct of the Justices in this transaction, they were anxious thst the return should be openly read for their viudica- The Curer Jurrtcs inquired, whether the Justices bad obeyed the writ?—Mr. PLATT replied in the affirmative,but prayed 'hat the return. might be read. • the Cuter .IC3TICE-16 it usual to read the return is inch r. PLATT said it certainly was not. The COUP JuSTICI—Theu the course of justice does not require that it should be real—Mr. Pt.ATTJepested, that as the Ju,tices' conduct had been impeached. it was desira ble that the return should be read:The CHIEF JUSTICI— is quite unnecessary. We have neither said nor done anything to impeach their conduct. The return was then .filed with the officers on the Crown side. INSOLVKNT DEB FORS' COURT, THURSDAY, Nov. 27. IN THE MATTER OT ntritAne WILSON. AN INSOLVENT. Mr. COOKS on a former day having obtained a rule • c ailing npon the I nvolvent's tlctainining creditors to show cause why he-should not be at liberty to file his petition to be discharged, Mr. Pottocit row showed rause, and founded his op vosition to the rule on the affidavit of Mr. Curtis, of Elme, Brompton, in whirl' it was stated that the the deponent, Mr. Kendrick, an.l others, by representing himself to be worth upwards of 20,0001. to dispose of their interest to bim in a patent (obtained -origkally by Mr. Kendrick. for an apParatus for extracting tanning manner from bark) for which hi agreed to pay . 4;0001. the firstyear; SPIN. the second year; and 11,0001. every year afterwards. In some time after this agreement' the insolvent called on Mr. Curtis. saving he had pnr chssed the extensive premises of Sir Kohert.tirahatu op ' vosite the Mansion thntie, where Mr. Maherly, .the Mem ber of Parliament, with whom be was connecter!, intended "to have a counting house for the purpose of the tanning {latent; and be requested Curtis to lend him 3001. or 44.197, to make a deposit with. Mr. Canis told him he had - pot so much money to spare,‘but gave him a bill of ex change for KM. which the idsols'ent promised to Meet at Its Matadi,' This promise he did not k , ep, although It• Teceivel the amount of :be bill, an! Mr. Curtis was obliged to take it op. The proceeds of it were not applied to. the payment of the deposit for which it was obtained. At the time the insolient agreed for the purchase of the patent and obtained the bill of exchange, he was a prisoner in the King's Benclalprison, &sae uncertificated bankropt,of which the deponeet then knew nothing. In Easter Term last, he lodged a detainer against him for the 1001., to which the insolvent took defence, and after potting him to the pewee of 30/., he gave a consent for a verdict. In come woes of the insolvent's non-performance of the conditions of the agreement, the deponent end the other parties thereto tiled a bill in Chancery, and obtaieed an injunc tion prohibiting the insolvent from in any way disposing of the patent io question. Under these circumstances, Mr. POLLOCK contended that the rule ought to be discharged. Mr. COOKE replied at some length, stating that the in solvent's estate had been considerably improved since his imprisonment, and that his patent was of sufficient value to pay all his debts ; but to enable him to du so, be required the assistance of this Court. The COURT said, that so long as the injunction remained in force, the insolvsat was restrained from makinb the ne• . cessary assignment of all his property; and consequently they must discharge the role.—Rule discharged. THE PRISONERS IN HERTFORD GAOL. Hauvroan, Nov. °7.—'!Magistrates have anxiously weighed the evidence which has hitherto been collected, have just resolved, after mature deliberation to arraign Hunt as a PRINCIPAL in the late murder.Tbis determination was communicated to Mr. George Nicholson, the agent fur the prosecutions at Hertford, and he was further instrucred to convey the same to the prisoner himself. Up to the latest moment Hunt indulged in the hope that he would be received as an approver. and it Is needless to state that the intelligence came upon him like a shock. lie was deprived of• all utterance, and appeared overwhelmed with terror. Toe decision of the Magistrates was also made known to Mr. Harmer the solicitor to Hunt. Much has been said in support of the claims of this prisoner to the indulgence he aimed at by what is called his confessions, and it has been urged in favour of his pretensions, that if he bad not inter- posed, the body might not have been discovered. But it should be recollected that even supposing the confessions to have been sufficiently complete to warrant the expects. tions of a pardon, yet there must be also the important condition fulfilled that the party shall not appear to have been a principal. Had was committed as an accessary before the fact; but the Magistrates, as it would appear, being of opioion that the evidence establishes him as a principal, have at once dismis'ed the idea of making use of bin' as au evidence. It is remarkablethat when this informa tion was communicated to Thurtell, that prisoner relaxed a little from his usual unbending mood, and appeared to feel some uneasiness for the fate of Hunt. It has been already stated that Mr. Williams4the solicitor for Probert, made an offer to the agent of the prosecution, which if accepted would place that prisoner in thesituatioa of a witness. Mr. Nicholson with the prokiety which marks his professional career, refused to make any stipu lation whatever, hut contented to receive any statement the prisoner should think proper to make for the purpose of submitting it to the proper authorities. Mr. Williams accordingly waited on that Gentleman last night. and conducted liim to the prison, where he had an intasiew with Probert; but it does not appear that the statement on this occasion varied in any material point from that which is already before the public. Mr. Nichol son refrained from putting any inquiry or even making any ob tints that might appear to be uttered with a view of extracting an explanation from the prisoner. He simply heard the declaration, and finished tlie.in terriew by assuring Probert that he should forthwith transmit it to the proper quarter. Mr. Penton has been all day in communication with his client Thurtell, irho, but for the inteimission of anxiety for Hunt that I have alluded to, still maintains his accuse tooled firmness. I understand that the following gentle ; men have been retained for the prosecution.—blesses. Gurney, Holland, and Broderick. POLICE. Bow-STatri.—Yesterday, the attention of the Magis trates at this office was occupied for a considerable time in the discussion of a question of some importance to °over°. meat Contractors, and to Toll Collectors, arising out of the following circumstances:—A Mr. Easterby undertook a contract of considerable magnitude for the supply of coals to Knightsbridge Barracks, and employed Messrs. John stone and Davis, coal merchants, of Vauxhall, as his agents for performing the terms of his agreement. Messrs. Johnstone and Davis accordingly sent t h eir uaggons with the coals as directed; on arriving at the Toll Gate, at Hyde Park Corner, the waggons were stopped, end the usual toll demanded. The waggoners retused to comply with this demand, and urged, as a ground for their refusal, that they were carrying stores for his Majesty's service, and that these, by an Act passed in the 3d year of the reign of his present Majesty, nereoexempt from 'loll. The Toll Keeper refused to let them pass, without paying his de mand, and for this eiaLtion he was now summoned to this Mr. Wools, a solicitor, appeared to support the case of the Contractor, and Mr. Lew attended as Counsel fur the Toll Collectors.---. Mr. %Veen stated the grounds of his complaint, and produced the Act of Parliament which exempted stores, conveying from place. to place, for his Majesty's service, from all tolls on Turnpike roads, or elsewhere. Mr. Easterby , he submitted, bad contracted to supply a certain quantity of coals for the use of his Majes ty's forces in the iiarracks of Knightsbridge, and as these were clearly Public stores, they were not subject to the customary tolls on being conveyed to the place of their destination. • Mr. Law, for the defendant, contended that these coals could not be considered as any part of the public stores until they were actually delivered, and approved of by the officer appointed to receive them. They might on arriving at the barracks, be rejected, either as being an inferior quality, or as being of bad measure. It was clear, there fore, that in the mere transit from the wharf at Vauxhall to Knightsbridge they were still in the possession, and under the sole controul of•the party sending them; and, therefore, in no respect either the property of the Crown, or forming any part of his Majesty's stores. This being the case, there was no ground for the exemption claimed. — After considerable discussion on both sides, Sir Mensal) theme denied that the coals in question at the time of their passing through the toll gate at Hyde Park Corner, formed no part of his Majesty's stores, and therefore were not exempt from the payweut of the custo• mary toll. The summonses were in consequence, dismissed with costs. Tne complainant gave notice of appeal against the de cision. Mr. CORBETT AND THE TOLL COLLECTORS. Felix Webb, a toll-collector, at the Hammersmith gate, attended on a summons issued at the instance of Mr. Cubbett, for having applied to him abusive lanenage as be was passing through his gate on the llth of October last. The facts were proved by James Palmer, a man in the service of Mr. Cobbeit, who stated, as he was passing throuili the gate with his horse and cart, on the day in question, the defendant demanded 4}d. toll. Mr. Cubbett was present, and said he was only entitled to 31., on which the defendant asked who he was? Mr. C. ansnered that his name was William Cohbett, and s t at ed where he livt;da The defendant then addressed him in provoking language, saying ‘• that he dared not show his fare in a Court ut Justice, and that no Magistrate would believe hint on his word."—Sir It. BIRSIE imposed the full peualty ef Fite Pounds, and the defendant gave notice o f appeal, NtAVEBWAN It appeared that tth 'wai the its* lean on a former -oc casion bad misled Mr. Cobbite,. by. .pointing to a wrong name as his, RINI' thereby imposed oriltim great , additional trouble in discovering who he was, and identifying his person. Harrost Gaanitt.—Yesterday gm. Mates, Charged with having dreadfully mutilated her husband, (whose case has so often been before the public). underwent another esansfeation, which, like most of The preceding, has been strictly private.— As the asagistrateishaVe enjoined tbe greatest 'secrecy ea the different °Seers of the-establisteeent, we forbear giving pub-1 licity to say facts counseled kith the ease, which we may have casually collected, as we could not vouch for their authenticity, the regular reporter being excluded. We have reason, how ever, to believe that she is fully committed for trial. 1 Tox NEW MARRIAGE ACT NEARLY DEVLATED.—A respect. ablelooking woman, residing in Solvers Town, appetred be fore the Magistrate in the greatest affliction, to request his interference for the recovery of her daughter, not sixteen years of age. Two young bays (the elder not over seventeen) were placed at the bar, as concerned in her elopement. It appeared that she absconded from home on last Sunday night, and Mt parents gained eo intelligence of her until yesterday, whoa** younger lad brought a letter from her, requesting to get her clothes. This boy was taken into custody, and the other as being his associate. While they were both examined together, nothieg could be extracted from them ; but on the removal of the letter, the Magistrate made a verb impressive appeal to the betteijfeelings of the other, exhortiug him not to involve all pat ties in wretchedness, when the boy, in a manly manner, said he 'would disclose every thing, ptovided the girl should receive no punishment. He then stated that he was the confidant and the other the lover; and that the young couple had so far matured their plans, that by some stratagem they were to be married at Shoreditch Church next Sunday.—lle then withdrew pri vately from the Office with the mother, accompanied by Wain wright, the officer, to show where the daughter was concesied. When sufficient time had elapsed for their securing the lose sick maid, the disconsolate lover was discharged, extremely indignant at getting no information as to the fate of his con fidant. UNION IhLL.—MINI Frances Taylor being sufficiently re covered from the mental illness with which she has been afflict ed since she shot Mr. Arnold in the face, she was yesterday brought before R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq., at this (Once, for fur ther examination. She was attended by her sister, and several other female friends; and by the direction of the Mogistrete she received attention and accommodation in a private apart ment.--Miss Taylor appeared to be wholly absorbed in thought. A professional gentleman, the friend of Mr. Sentence, in whose employ Mr. Arnold was at the time of the disaster, in. formed the Magistrate that he understood that it was not the wish of Mr. Arnold to prosecute the young woman, and al thonghllr. Sentence himself bad no desire of impeding the course of public justice, he did not wish to come forward as her public prosecutor. Mr. CHAMBERS wished to be informed what motive the young man had in not appearing against her.--If, lie added,' it arose from the remembrance of their former acquaintance he could understand why he was not now present; but if he had been making any private arrangement with the young woman or her friends, or had any other improper rea son, he (hir.Cbambers) would take care that be should be forthcoming. The Solicitor replied, that as he was not the professional agent of Mr. Arnold, he could not of course know why he was not present; but he be ieved the solicitor who had been en gaged could give satisfactory reasons why the prosecution should not be proceeded with. In speaking of Mr. Arnold, he said that bis wounds had been completely healed, but that the marks of the powder would remain permanently fixed in his face for the remainder of his life. Mr. CHAMBERS said, he had no objection to hear Mr. Ar nold's solicitor; but that he must be satisfied by evidence, sad not by reasons, before be could dismiss the charge. The parties then retired, and the depositions of several fe males who had known Miss Taylor during her intercourse with Mr. Arnold, were afterwards laid before the magistrate, by which he was satisfied that the agitation arising from disap pointed and disturbed feelings bad, at intervals, been so great as to deprive her of the steady control of her understanding, and under the peculiar circumstances developed in the deposi tions, he decliued any further interference, excpt in ordering her to he released from confinement. THE BAKERS AND THEIR JOURNEYMEN. Wonsute Sztlem—Several bakers appeared before R. ReviLt., Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, in consequence of sanunonva issued against them for baking rolls, or bread under tbedenomination of rolls, on the Sabbath day. It nut only appeared, but was openly declared is Court, that this was a prosecution institused by the journeymen, sot for the purpose of seeking rewards . by fines and penalties, bat to establish their right of enjoying the Lord's Day, as secured to them ender the third of (leo. IV., c. 105. a. 16, which enacts, " That no master, mistress, journeyman, or other person, exercising or employed in the trade or calling of a baker,;shall, on the Lord's Day, or on any part thereof, make or bake any bread, rolls, or cakes, of any sort or kind." The different offences were satisfactorily proved, and the Magistrate, under the Act, fined them ten shillings each, without costs, which they severally paid before they left the office. Yesterday a number of respectable Licensed Victuallers attended at Union Hall, tind presented the following Peti tion to the Sitting Magistrate, it. J. CHAMBERS, Esq.:— .' Itotherbithe, Nov. 27. 4 , We, the undersigned, being Licensed Victuallers in this neighbourhood, and consequently paying heavy rents, taxes, licenses, &c., and are with much difficulty enabled to do the same, feel ourselves much aggrieved and annoyed by several other licensed victuallers, although contrary to their recognizances at the time of receiving their licensee, and also in opposition to your petitioners' notice and cau tion, dated 2Sth of October, wherein you caution all such persons to desist from hawking, or sending out their ser vants to hawk beer about the streets without the beer being previously ordered. Now as there are several persons who are in the habit of sending out their servants to hawk beer, not only in the day time, but as late as from 7 till 10, and after I L o'clock at night; and on the Sabbath day, in ser• vice time in the morning, while oar houses are closed up. — It is not with any ill will towards those persons, or wish ing to injure them, as a proof of which, some of us, the undersigned, have behaved in a friendly manner towards, them, and ahewn to them your printed caution and instruc tion, and informed them, that if they did not persist from inch practices in future, we must be under the necessity of Claiming your Worships' protection, and remain your most humble servants." To this petition there were ten signatures. Hall, the Chief Constable, stated, that several publicans of that parish had informed him of the constant breaches of their recognizances, committed by other licensed victual lers in the neighbourhood, anti had requested that he would either lay information himself, or direct some other officers belonging to the establishment to do so. Hall *died, that he advised the applicants to exhibit informations be fore the Magistrates, as the officers would not act as in formers. Mr. CHAMBERS said, he certainly should inflict the full penalties on those who should be brought before him and convicted of the offence, which he considered one ola very serious nature.—ln the course of the dey a licensed victu aller, named Stingle, was summoned on an information, charging him with the oifence ; but the information was, in consequence of an error, gnashed. DEATH IN THS FLEET PRlSON.—Yesterday rooming an inquest was held in the above prisos before T. Shelton, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. Oeorge Pickett. It appeared from the.evidence, that the deceased had formerly been engaged in several law suits with his relations, and in December, .1500, be was committed by the Barons of the ;.Exchequer to the Fleet, for contempt of Court, in refusing to answer the questions, and has never, since the day he was committed, been outside the walls. He was taken ill on Sunday last, and died on iYedneskly morning. By his death, the property in litigation will devolve directly to his relations. The •Jury returned a verditt of " Nature! Death."

MUADIR AT SToccrowr.-00 Tuesday last a Com e ?, Inquest was held at the Boar's Head, Heaton Norris, sel the body of an unfortunate female, of Stockport. Ili first evidence called was Mr. John Mareland, partner ie the house of Thomas Marsiand and Sons, who admit* having been with the girl from 11 to 12 o'clock on Setae. day night; he then bid ber good night, in the presence of the watchman; and separated from her; he went dired houte to his father's house. and attempted to unlock the door, bat finding a key left inside, lie awakened one of ti# servants; it was at that time a few minutes after 12, Th e servant was examined, who deposed as to the time of hi s coming in; and heard him subsequently go up stairs to bed. Others of the servants were examined, wile head him come into the house. A wittiest, passing by the spot when the body was foam at a quarter past 12, deposed, that ht saw a person rise op from behind a heap of rubbish ; he did not know the map, and was afraid he intended to rob him ; the person, hoe. ever, took no notice of him, and after he had passed be sae the same person coaceal himsellbebind the rubbishagaio; he took particular notice of the man, and could identify him. This witness was taken to the New Bailey pri soo , and showed into a room in which were a number of people, from whom be instantly selected one, who h e a been apprehended by the Police.ou Sunday, and wheel came is Horsfield. Another witness deposed, that be saw Horsfiold in the Market Place, with deceased, at a quarter past ten, previous to her going to meet Mr. Marsha, who was the fird witness. liorsfield's account of himself was as follows :—lle Ise the deceased lived in adjoining houses, about a mile from the Market Place, Stockport ; he saw her about five o'clork in the evening, and agreed to see her at Stockport at eight or nine o'clock; she was to call upon him at the King's Head ; she did not call according to ber promise; neatly ten o'clock be met with a girl he knew, and walked odds her through the fields to Bower House Yard. in which hi i lived, and passed his own house towards Lancaskire Hill; I he left her at half-past ten, went house, and never left the house till called op in the morning. This account being contradicted by the previous ed. dense, the Jury brought in a verdict —" Wilful murder s against Horsfield," and he was committed to Lancastw, for trial. The prisoner hail been for come time endeavouring to gain the affections of the girl; but whether she encouraged him does not yet appear. Popular feeling, in the first instance, directed Itasca. pinion against Mr. Manland ; but his account of himself, and the satisfactory corroboration by other evidence, removed every suspicion of that nature upon the public mind. The body- had been opened by the surgeons ; and is addition to the bruises about the head, and evident marks of strangulation. five ribs were broken—with such deter. mined fury bad the murderer effected his purpose. Fens.—Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, Flert l market presented en unusual appearance of hustle tool confusion, in consequence of an alarm being given that tie shop of Mr. Garlick, the undertaker, was on fire. in moment every person was seen running to the spot fres whooce a cloud of smock was been issuing: several person were also observed inside. cutting assay a quantity of wood-work on the right side of the shop, on which s number of coffins were placed, while, to prevent the era flaeration from spreading,e. number of cotfins, enited hr old and young, found their way into the street. At keens the wood work before mentioned being cut away, a cumi• derable flame issued out, and it was then ascertained that the fire had originated from a quantity of tow, which was kept in the cellar under the shop of Mr. Garlick's business. Fortunately it was discovered in good tune, or the eon* queoces, in all probability, would have been snout ciestrue. tive. l'he fire was. however, soon extinguished, the coffins were again called io from the street, and order ins finally restored in Fleet Market.
