The friends of the parson, who were io tbe fishing boats from Portleaveo, which was stipposed to have foundered in the gale of the 31st of last month, were this week agreeably surprised at receiving a letter from them, stating that they had been driven across the Channel by the gate, and were picked rip, off the coast of France, by the,crew Dutch brig, hound for Rotterdam, where they had received assist mace from the English Consul, who was about to procure them a passage to Loudon.—(Weet Briton.) The brig Bud, Abbott, arrive.! at Boehm from fort au Priuce, was boarded on the outward passage, on th • 9th of August. by a boat from the English cotter Ratinbow, twenty-three days from Charlston, for Turks. Island. Oaptain Abbott gives the following particulars : The Captain came in the boat and reported that they were famishing for want of water ; that he had Colonel Low, of The British army, Lady and family, and several other passengers on board. He said it was really distressing to bear the complaints of the young children, and to witness the anxiety and distress of the mother, and the others relative to their lituation. Two or three days before he saw me he thought that he had a good, sopply of water, when to his astuniahmebt, lie foamd that the rats had eaten through the casks, and that they were almost entirely empty. I supplied them with as much water and other ueeeesaries•as l could spare. A black boy who c tine in the boat, as he cane upon deck, flew to the water cs-k ex claiming, "0 mama! 0 lion: How hungry me be for water.'—( Wu) York paper.) Lruteciros. Nov. 14.—A common hrewer of this town having perceived in the public journals. that the proper authorities had acknowledged the right of common brewers to, retail beer, and wishing to give his friends the full bene fit of such right. has this day commenced retailing best beer at did, and good ale at 3d. per quart. Two frel.holders, in a village near Leeds, having ha,' a .dispute about the ownership of a pier, of land, submitted the question to &Jury, at the Coeit het, when the gentle- men of the Joey very discreetly determined, on view of the preutisesoliaCtlie diipeted property would makes convenient addition to the occupation road near some of their own premises, and, having made this discovery, they aaaeite.l that the plot of land belonged to neither of the claimants! lint to the township! thereby practically illustrating the fable of the litigious cats.—(f.ecds 31So:eau.) On Tuesday evening, a man of the name of Thomas Richardson. while viewing the wil I beasts in Atkins's Menagerie, incautiously put hi. band into the cage of lite Tiger, and was immediately seized and lacerated by the animal's fangs. The sufferer was taken to the Infirmary, , but we are glad to find that the wound, though severe, is not considered dangerous. The reason itssign-d by Richardson for his familiarity with the tiger, is, that lie hail been a 'oldie' in the East Indies. front whence the animal came, and lie did not suppose that it would be so unfriendly to a kind of countryman, as to treet Mat in this creel reanner.—(Leede Mercury.) I KNAKESBOROUGH Watt ERS.--NOttVithatandinit three poor men hare been eighteen weeks out of employment, I t hough thousands have sometimes attended their nightly meetings. yet greatly to their own credit, and tai the general peace of the town, not any outrsge has hitherto been committed, with the exception of a few boys stopping. a cart, as mentioned in a former paper. It had been getter , rally . ouderstood, that so long as the peace of the town ramatned undisturbed, the Magistrates wished to avoid interfering in this unhappy dissension; but on Frit!ay evening lase, that active Magistrate, Richard Fountaync Wilson, Esq., male his appearance at the meeting, and took out of his pocket the Riot Act, which he was about to read, cautioning those about to disperse within fifteen minutes after he had done so. The poor weavers received his cominunicat:on with the strictest propriety ; they in. formed the Magistrate they were not aware of doing any ' wrong, that they were far (ruin wishing to break the peace, but that as it was his pleasure that they should separate, theywould save him the trouble of reading the proclamation, and accordingly they quietly and instantly dispersed. Whether this was a wise proceeding on the pet of Mr. Wilson remains to be seen; hitherto the weavers (who. be it remembered, have not turned out fur an advance of wages) have done every thing openly, but since Friday private meetings have been held. The masters continue to bold their meetings as usual, bitt we have not heard that they hare been honoured with a visit by the worthy 31agis trate.—(Leeds Mercury.) CoRN ESCBANGII, Monday Nov. 17.—There were mode este arrivals of all kinds of grain last week ; and a good quantity of Flour.

MARIA3OIIOUIiki STREET' ['HIS DAY.) • This morning, as soon as Sir 0.

Sir ti. rARRANT sai.l. hr did not know whether he sh not commit the prisoner as a r,pnte!l thief; but, the officer said he had never had him directly in citstmly, and he was ordered to tlndl default he was cons: ;flitted. M.timtesTea.—On Alontlay.en occurrence of a nature as stiocuinc: as it i 4 onfreqient, took plAce lidrt-4tryist, in this town, the administering of poison by a wither wher children, one of , a bout is since dead. - - • • Ann TiWesley, is the wife of Thotnaa Tiltlesiay, a joiner, the family consisting of Tildeslry and nis wife, two daughters, one.aged ten, the other six years. a son,.aged three years, and a lodger. Til leslev has always borne an excellent character, and his wife :ilia until very recently ; since when, owing, it is supposed, to some domestic unhappiness, she has given way to livor, and for several days prior to the conunissiou of the od'eoce with which she is now charged, is stated to have been continually intoxicated. In the afternoon of alonday last she sent her second daughter to the shops of two different druggists in Piccadilly, and obtained from each sot ill quantities (three or four pennyworth) of laudanum. She atterwards went herself to a man of the name of Werbarton, a sort of quack doctor, who lives in Portland Street, and producing a bottle . which hail previously eouteitied the dekterious liquid, asked him to let her have sixpeunyworth of launanutn, which, she said, was for an old woman, who had got into a had habit of tatting it, and could not exist without it. Warburton, finding from the smell of the bottle. that it bad previously contained laudation, did not hesitate to let her have the quantity she asked for. Having obtained it, she went home and mixed the whole quantity with some tea, which she gave to the two younger children (the oldest being at that time at the factory in which she worked). The girl to whom it was administered, six years old, litetting the taste very nauseous, at first refused to take it; but the mother compelled her to drink half a tea•cup full, telling her she had saeold. and the stuff would mare it. It does nut appear that the effects of the poison were per ceived on the Alontley evening, by any person excepting the wretched woman herself; for, on the following morn ing, her husband and the lodger went to their respective employments as usaal, at an early boar. About eight o'elo ft, the woman left the house. which she locked up, tthing with her her e ldest daughter, whom, after a short time, site sent with the key of the door to her husband; bidding the girl tell hint that he would find his children dying, and that, if he would examine a cap which stood on the table, he would discover the cause. I'he husband, of course, It.totenett home, and found that he hail beers but too truly informed. The youngest child was nearly dead, and expired soon afterwards: the girl was in a state of stupor, hot not having taken a -very large quantity of the poison, her life was preserved by the prompt use of emetics. In'ormation of the transaction having beets early con veyed to the police office, search was made for the wretched soother, but without effect. About one o'clock, however, she came herself to. the police °thee, and asked a beadle whom she Mumd there, if he had heard of that sad business in Hart Street, telling him she was the woman who had done it. Site said she bad been twice to the office door to surrender herself, but thirst not venture in. Of coarse she was immediately taken into custody, and conveyed, to the New Bailey, lettere she now remains. We understand :she admitted without reserve that site administered the poison with intent to take away the livos of the children, .and assigned ass ressnu that she bail been very unhappy for wine tine, and wished to get rid of tier own existence. MURDER OF MR. W. WEARE. About . one o'clock an Saturday lass, Mr. Feotorisoid red in Hertford, and immediately repaired to the Town Hall. where the Magistrates were then saline, fOr the purpose of requiring permission to visit John Thurtell, for whom alone he is professionally concerned. Mr. Fenton evade his application in the first instance to the Itov. Mr. Loyd,. he being the gentleman with whom Mr. Fenton, in con jonction with Mr. Jay, of Norwich, communicated iu behalf of the prisoner on Thursday. Mr. Loyd imme diately informed. Me. Fenton, that he was sure the order of the Magistrates for limiting the professional assist- Niece to the prisoner to one solicitor, and he hcinz Jay, would not be rescinded. Mr. Fenton being satisfied with this ;newer. said, that as the town-agent of .Mr. Jay, who was then in Norwich, it was his buuumulen defy to make his application to the Magistrates collo.- .tively. from the heavy professional relionsibiuity which devolved upon him. Mr. Loyd said, that lissome circumstances of a serious nature haul transpired since air. Fenton was last in Hertford, it was absolutely necessary, before admission of any hied. were allooeul in behalf of tee prisoner, that the character of the applicant should he , strictly investigated, awl that hr (Mr. Loyd) must comma ideate the circumstances to which lie alluded to the magistrates. Mr. Fenton said, that he could have nos possible objection to any investigation which the imuaeia trates might desire respecting him elf, but that he shout I like to he present at the time, to afford any personal expia tion obich the case miolit ruoquire. Mr. Loyd then add that lie would repair to taemagistrates, and requested Mr. .Fenton to follow him up stairs, which he accordingly . did. After Mr. Fenton haul remained minutes in the lobby of the magistrates' charither, be was sent for, and npots entering the room he stated that his business there was to desire permission to visit John Thum tall, as his proreeeional adviser. He said that he acted as the agent of Mr. Jay, who, from his residence at Norwich", a n d the nature of his business (he being an eminent conveyancer), was not so well calculated to conduct such a case as • solicitor residing on time spot; therefuie Mr. Jay was anxio u s that Mr. Fenton should give the necessary profeesioral aid. One of the Magistrates reu.uariced, that the prisoner Thane'', as well as Mr. Jay and Mr. Fearer. were perfectly aware before air. Joy was admitted on Thersuley, of the imperative noture of the order already ref to ul to, that only one solicitor should be admitted, wiul hal the opportnoity of making their own selection ; they had done so, and as time choice had fallen umen Mr: Jay, be alond could now be permitted to have access to his client.. Mr. Penton admitted the fort to he as described by the enagise trate, and that Mr. Loyd heard h Oh Jay and Mr. Fenton consider which of them should visit the prisener on Thursday; and Mr. Loyd here added, "Yes, and 1 beard Thurtell himself refuse to see yon (Air. Fenton), and indeed say, that as he never saw you in his life, he would tot communicate with you if you did enter his spertuurnt that he would not open his month , or tell you any thine." Mr. Fenton replied, that in effect he believed Mr- Loyd . s statement was correct, for upon Thurt. II being informed that only one person could have access to him, be naturally .selected the individual whets he had previously known and when they agreed that Mr. Jay should conounnicate ith the prisoner, it was for the purpose of apprising Thurtell personally, that Mr. Fenton, whom he trout never seen, was in point of fact his town-agent, possessed his. confidence, anut that with him, if it were found necessary, the prisener might confidently communicate. • The Magistrates replied, that Thum tell knew in the first instance how he stood with reference to the role framnel by them, an I that if his selection had fallen upon a gee- Hemet) whose local residence must embarrass his uppr• tunnies of profession it coonnonicauion in the case, he Is id wily to blame him AI fur his choice; but that they (t .o Magistrates) could not rescind the oiler, nor impair or qualify its effect. To this Mr. Fenton replied, that a country solicitor and his town-agent were always professionally considered as one and the same, aryl their For:joint efforts never before denied to a prisoner. '1 he Maxistrotes. however, pet severed in affixing the peremptor y constriction upon the order. Mr. Fenton egain urged the professional reasons *filch rendered k iocumbent upon him to make the present ao plication, and alluded to the difficulties which were imposed upon anysolisitor who had the management of this dctenco, from the ex parse strstements with which the public press had teemed throughout this business. Upon an observa tion from some of ae Magistrates that they had i.e official knowledge of Mr. Fenton's connexion with Mr. J or, Mr. Fenton said that he was certainly unprepared at the invent with a written authority from Mr. Jay. He then added, that as he must apply elsewhere for that per mission which the Maeivretes. persisted in refacing, he begged to know finally and explicitly, if he was to under stand thot they alisolotely dented to him time professional access which he now sought; the answer was " Certsialy, and more particularly, as there are not present teeeral of the Magistrates who stoned the restrictive order, we carnet . take upon ourselves to revoke what they haul done ;" an Mr. Loyd at length seiut, in the result, " We refuse to alter the order, without stating our reesons." This business hellos; at an end, Mr.Fenton said, that he had an observation to off c before he departed, which had no reference to this cease, bat related to himself personally ; and be then called up Mr. Loyd to state a hot were the serious eircutnstenves which he had discovered since his last visit to Hertford, that called for an investigation of character, becalve, Ut they related to him, lie w us ready and anxious to meet them at once before the Magistrates. Upon this the Magistrates said that they were sitting only on public huskies+, and could not enter into private and personal topics. Mr. Fenton rejoined, and said, that has Mr. Loyd had been in private communication with the Magistrates for souse time before lie was admitted, he presumed' that he bed during that interval, mentioned the save a lesion to clie racier which he had stated himself at his first interview that morning. He (Mr. Fenton) feeling himself tittle alluded to, and being as well descended and as well connecte.l as any of the gentlemen whom he had the honour of :of - dressing, was naturally solicitous to vindicate himself.
