On Saturday the ailjourired information preferred by Mr. Bradfield, a respectable Gentleman, against Mr. Aeolic', • roal-nsercbant, for .vending coals short of measure to Mils. Collie., of Miseheßer-annare, received its Anal bearing be fore Mr. Griffitha,tbe Silting Magistrate. Mr. Andrews opened shebasioese by expressing his mfr. prise at a letter which had appeared in some of the pitirlie papers, purposting so be from the Defendant, Mr. A:rot k., dated October 9, stating, among other partie.lats, sh.t the este had been diansisoeS that day by the Almelo/tie.. He (Mr. Andrews) wished to know whether that Was 'ere fact ? ' The Magistrate answered, '• Certainly ant," and appeared surprised at the statement. No such decision ' he ob.. eyed, could have hren made, as Saturday was the askiesinietiAley fur besting she ea.e. Hr. Andrews then procreiLol to argue she rase at cob.. viderable length. He cunteuiled, that the information, a. io sought to recover she pushy of 401. on earls *irk (10'iss camber) was strictly correct, and came within the j ariulic lion of the Magistrate. Mr. Griffiths then delivererl hi. opinion, and declared that he conceived the information ill be a 'direly will his jurisdiction, insomuch as it sought to recover 3?!. Ih:itbeing ihe amount of the penalty at 40s. on sixteen sacks of coal.. 'That being shave SOL he certainly could' not receive the in. formation, and after having give.. the rat the inms: failure consideration, he was criollensed in his opinion. If the Julges in the Court of Nailer, !tench should drcide the in formation to be within his jurisdiction, he abould certainly feel mach pleasure in seals hearing the case. This important case, it is deterrnined, will be removed by mandamus luso the Court of King's Bench. CORONER'S INQUEST. Ots'Satertlay se'nnight an inquest was held by Mr. F.

It appeared in evidence thlt the deceased and her husband had lived 'in a state of doinesiie strife fur snose time, and that they had bad aq , s lun the morning of her taking the poison, during which Wake bad struck her several times in the 'face : she was seized silt great pain, accompanied by violent vomiting, and on bring asked if she had taken any thing, the declared that she Vol taken nothing that would du her airy tram, soil in this she persisted till the last moment of her life. She gradually grew worse, until about sits o'clock in the evening, whets her husband sent for a surgeon, but it was too late to render her soy professional aid. She died•a few miuutrs afterwards : the body was opened, and a large quantity of arsenic found in the stomach. Verdict—liescraiig. She was 32 years of age. ARTFUL 61Y41 D L rj?. EDINBURGH, OCTOBBR 1. A fellow was lately c►a►ged at she Police Office with various acts of swindling. The SUCCeIII of ►is schemes•was lint less remarkable than the iwgenuity with which they were planned. After duping a carler's wife of 154, sod rubbing • house at Corstorphine of a gold watch and other articles, lie gained the affections of a yawn winning, a widow, who kept shop at Portobello. By his persuasion she agreed to give up her house, and follow him, wish her daughter, a &lid 'bout five years of age, to a lodging in the Grass•markvt, where she necessary messuses were immediately taken fur the perfoonsoce of the marriage ceremony. But the affair 'roust be dune genteelly; and it was customary, on such or cattiomt, to get new germents; his lameness prevented him from calling on friends ; Anst 'be would write a note—an order to a friend in the Polder-row, for • small sum—iv/oily live pound", noel his intended wife would have not►ing to du but to petrel it.

Such was she tale this deluded female told, whose 'lnoriesty sad propriety of demeanour tendered h. r au ob ject uf considerable interest. On the fellow Meisel( being called in to give an &cement of the property, nothing could lie more striking than the contrast in their behaviour.

The next amour in which our hero engaged may be considered his chef arfoorre, as here be triumphed, not only over the cautienisisees of age, but the shrewdness and tenacity of the Highland character.

In the absence of the porter,' prvcreiled to practise upon the simplicity of his wife, at; uld sonnet of at least sixty years of age, who scarcely us derstootl a n Old of English. The th fender, recording to the uld woctau's story, after sounding she depth of her affection for the 'lbsen, Duncan, expressed his wonder how she could think of westing her dap in the society of such a homespun mortal. He next 'touched upon the worldly circumstances of tl.•e worthy couple, and drew from leis bootees en adults. Cull that they had a bank receipt fur 'linty pounds snugly deposited ins the cupboard.

Extract from a Meteorological Journal for Sep leather, 1811, kept at the Observatory of the Academy, Gosport " Nearly one-half of this mouth, which hes roused se meth .est.ts, been sunny weather; maxim) , among agi I hA the other part comes Nader the characteristics of rain and wind, and a shrouded sky, it having rained (more or less) on nineteen differesst days, ef which nine whole days is the lime that the labours of busbandmen have beet suspeuded in the eons 6elds, by a fall ef betweee three and fuer inches in depth. The winds having prevailed mostly front S.W. the barometer has fluctuated much, and the atmosphere was fre quently loaded with impure vapours, an unusual best of small tsiuged insects, sad flying gossamer. " As the natural cause of some of these circumstances, wbose effects have been kit by varies. interest disorders, the mean temperature of the air was more than 6 deg. above that of September, 1820, sad 4 deg. higher than the am rage of September for the last six years; therefore it may be termed a very warm mouth. The temperature of spring wa. ter did out arrive at its riauttanna height fur t►e year till the 19th instant. " The atmospheric, nacteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this month, are three coloured par. helm, six parte/rime., five lunar and three solar halos, thirty.six meteors, four rainbows, lightning in the evenings of the 6th aid 21st, and thunder in the evening of the 6th ; also ten gales of wind, or days on whirls they have pre. wailed, viz seven from S.W. use from W. and two from ?LW." THE HARVEST AND MARKETS. Chichester Beast market, on Wednesday, exhibited a most pleutiful 'apply of meat, of every de•criptioa, both fat and lean. The number of sheep and lambs pruned was greater than ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant, the market toll, i■ coops, beim, paid for 3,304! Beef was mot in great quantity, but there was enough fur the demand, as It has mot bees so cheap fur twenty year.. As the variation in prices was great, an average tan scarcely be quoted. We know that good ewe motile sold at 28.4 d. per stone (teller's seconds) ; and bog meat soder 3s. Prime meat met higher priers. At the old Sheep fair, on Tuesday last, at Lewes, about ten thousand were penned, and the sales were considered' brisker than those of the last (21.1 September) fair. Ewes were sold from 20,. to Os.; lambs, from 13s. to 21a. There is at this time sixty wheat ricks of this year's growth in the small island of Selsey, near Chichester : much greater crop than was ever remembered, and all got up in fair condition. The PetersAeld annual Cattle fair was held sm Saler. day, on the Heath:: and •was monstrously allienided by boyers; of beasts there were 2,000, and of she* 10,1100 s The spot ou which the fair is held is admirably adapted for the display of stock, and the scene presented was one of very lively intone. This fair nas established last year, and promises to become one of equal importance to any iu the country. [MIMES, OCTOBIR 4. We have had continued and heavy rain throughout the morning ; our market was in consequence but thinly at. tended.

MR WHALE rismaßr. The Bat Accord, which arrived at Aberdeen on the 3J in: slant, brings the latest amnesia, of the whale fishery on the coast of Greenland, which are quite as unfavourable as those before received. The master reports, that only the vessels which got through Davis' Straits with bins, which were she Don, Cambrian, and mete other* from Dundee, were at all successful. The Dna Accord wanted host ease fish to make a full ship, when 47 sail arrived at the spot where she wee fishing, and although she laboured with great perseverance fur three weeks, could nut sue:Areil. The Man, which Sr. rived at Aberdeen with the Bon Accord, is one of the ten vessels reported to have been lom, but we mint to stale, Strad: I that she confirms the loss of the other nine. APPLICATION OF THE CONGREVE ROCKET IN THE WHALE FISHERIES. The ship Fame h.. returned to Hull, and Captain Score,. by has coelitmed all that was stated in Ins letter of the 44th of June, inserted in the 2711; July, respecting the important advantages to be derived from the UN: of the nickel ill the %%ale Fishery. The Fame bas brought home nine fish, in the capture of the whole of which the rockets were successfully employed. After being struck by the rocket, the largest wbale become an may prey to its pursers. In one ease iostaut death was produced by a single rocket, and iu cases tile speed was much diminished, sad its power of sinking limited to three yr four fathoms. Our of the largest antlers, of 100 feet in length, a speaks of ash seldom attacked by the ordinary means, and of the capture of which there is scarcely an instance on recand in the uortheru seas, wns immediately lamed by a discharge of rockets, so that the boats overtook and surrounded it with ease. SIX out of the 11h111 fish died in lees than IS minutes; and live out of Ilse member took out tin litre at all. One only our. •hed neatly two hours, and one ouly took more than one by genius Mira a pack of tee, %bete the boats could nut follow. The peculiar value sod lasportance of the rocket in the fisheries is, that by means of it all the destructive effects of a six, or even a twelve-pounder piece of artillery, both as to penetration, explosion, force, and internal fire, calculated to accelerate the death of the animal, may he gives with an ap paratus not heavier than a musket, mid without nay sbock. or re-setiou on the boat ; whereas, it is obvious that uu boat applicable to the fishery of the whale can ever be made capa ble of sustaining t►e shock necessary to produce the same, or ally thing like the effects of the six or twelve-posod shall, by • the ordinary means of artillery. lit fact, uutbiog larger than the harpoon-gun could be ap plied; and the IlliSSile which could be discharged from sui h an implement, could 'wither bare penetrstion our explosive force, sulticieot to do any serious injury to the fish. With respect to the rocket, however, it is a fact, that some of the smallest, fired in the late experiment in the Fame, pe netrated completely through the body of the fish, so that the effect of the explosion was visible on the opposite side—the fierce fire of the rocket fixed iu the animal's inside, rapidly destroying life; and the effects, and report of the explosion being distinctly perceivable within him, as in one instance as above stated, producing immediate death. Indeed it is certain, that t►is might, in almost every case, be in sured by Mc/easing the power of the rocket, without Mere's ing the tuconvenieuce or encumb►ance of the apparatus re. quired to discharge it, and equally without re-action un the boat, as when the smallest rockets are used. In addition to Ibis, it rosy be stated, that there is no doubt of the rucks t ultimately disponsiog with the operation of the hand har poon, by couveytng the hue, and destroying the animal at the same time, and that without requiriu; the approach of the boat to the fish, within the limits of perfect security.— It is also squally certain, that the large Miners, never or rarely attempted to the North, will be reudered am easy prey, by the judicious application of the rocket.
