John Ferguson, clerk with the seine Company, corroborated last witness. Mr. •Elliot was recalled by his Lordship, and asked particularly whether or not it was possible that the tones might have been changed ? To which he answered in the nffirmative. The Charter was here put in, but it failed its authorising the Company to issue notes, but on its being suggested to his Lord,hop dolt he had cm,. vieted five permits under it at Newcastle, and that its liberty to issue was recognized by the Stantp and sal other Acts which related to the ion gof notes, his Lordship was of opinion that that was sufficient. Mr. Loon, for the Prisoner, submitted to his Lordship that the case co old nut go to the Jury, as there was no evideuce to identify the notes. The JUDGE expressed his doubt upon the sub• ject, and said he had sent u note to his brother, Holroyd, desiring his opinion. Mr. COURTEN AY. for the prosecution, thought this was an objection for she Jury to consider of. . His Lordship.—Cerlaielly anti.

No bill against the township of Harrington for oat repairing a King's highway. NISI PRIUS COURT. HODGSON V. CUNNLLI.. The case was opened by Mr. Serjeant CROSS, who stated, that the Plaintit% Mr. Hodgson, lived in Ca.tle•Sowerby. The Defendant, who was a Solicitor in Carlisle, was in want of some willow voider* for the purpose of wearing, and sent ii per son of the name of Milburn, who was to have the wearing. to Plaintiff to boy the edders. The price fixed by the Plunitilf was 9s. 6J. per score, fur 450 or 274 wore, and fur 50 more of a worse quality lie was to pay only 3s. making' in the whole s of 4/. 19s. 9J. After pu►chasiug the. adders, at the above mentioned pricer, the. Defendant heard that several of his neighbours had got some at go: lid. per score, therefore lie would give no more. He had livid 3/. 3s. into Court, but •taking the number even at to. 6d. per score, it conies to more roomy than•a lilt he hod so generously•teudered,' tie could call evidence of the bargain being made tor 3s. 6d. between Plaintiff said the - person whom the Defendiiiit lout employed to purchase them.

Crou•r.ramriaed by Mr. RA Ix E.—Whet ■re you master Pug-mute? Why, l'be a rake-maker...— ,Aye. I know vou'ie a rake-maker. and sometimes a witness, eh ? No, never before.—Speak up, Sir !

Never in this place.—Nor in soy other 'dace; never look your oath before, eh ? No, never indeed. • -[During this brow-beatiug the Court was kept in a continual roar of laughter, owing to the 011. wash who was Advanced in years, being noxious to lean against the bar. but which the Learned Gestate man would no suffer, and coutirtually ordered bun to " stand trio."] Ellsabetla Hontmo remembered Itlilburn's com ing to 's house to buy willow adders—Mil burn assisted in carting them.

Witness carried iu the bill to Mr. Connell for 34. 6.1. per score, but he said he would only give 2s. 6.l.—she then asked him if he did not know before taking them ■way what was to he the price ? lie answered in the affirmative. She then asked what objection he had to pay for them, but, instead of answering, he flung the door in her face, ■ud left ,her. Witness is a sister to .PlrintiH. Cross-examirted.—Part of the property is tier's ; PlaitiUtf and wittier' lived together ; never accounted to each other for any money laid out. [A. this was the case his Lordship struck her evi dence from his minister.] Judith Dixon, servant to Elizabeth ilmlgson, was present in the hack kitchen when the bargain was mode for 3s. 6il. per score; there were 550, which Milburn duew iu•o heaps, end she counted. Robert Davidson went with Milburn to Hodg son's, and assisted in carting the edders part of the way ; never saw any so large in his life. (,'rose-emantined.—Witness's brother had worked at vermin nearly thirty years. IVatson Beeby, clerk witb Mr. Holme, solicitor for the Plaintiff, was present when Mr. Coinedl made a tender of 3/. 3s. he did not *object to the number, but to the price; wanted them for 2s. or Is. 6d. I%lr. addressed the Jury on the part of the Defend mt. After speaking of the Solicitor foe the Plaintiff in a most vituperative strain, attempt ing to overthrow the foregoing evidence, particulsrly Puginore's ; and mating the nature of the defence he was about to set up, be proceeded to cull Robert Milburn, of Little Corby, who stated, that he went to Plaititifra house in order to buy some willow edders for Mr. Connell—he asked 3s. 61 per score—in the kitchen at the time. Wit loess said it was far too mach—that he was em ployed by Mr. Connell, and if lie gave an extrava gain price he would be frowned ou by him, mid it was far too much for them. %%intim said his mar ter would give a fair and decent price for them— times' prices. Mr. Richardson's (of' Marton) name was to be given in with the bill, moil Defendatit would pi the same price as he. The edders were to be of the la..st kind, but when they came to hand, above 100 of them were tint worth using— no pessosi present when the bargain was made. Cross-examined—Plaintiff cut them, which be might du in one day—never s.iisl in the presence of Judith Dixon 3s. 6d. was the price, or ever told Mr. Connell so, boat told hint they were to be the times' prices. Where they were purchased was about ten miles from Mr. Connell's. One hundred of them were put among the rice instead of earth, for no other use, and were buried there. Never told James Bs eby or Futucis Carruthers that 3s. 6,1. was the price. By the Judge—The had ones were nearly all in the last 150 which were brought. William Earl, innkeeper at Warwick-bridge, went in cert adders from Hodgson's to Defendant's; (objected to several of them as being good for ism ibmg, which he put on nue side, but they were threwn back agam by Hodgson, who said they were ter) good. awl would not give any other,. John D seldom, brother of Robert Davidson, a witness for Plaimolf ; saw the video.* that Mr. Con nell bought ; there were several had ones in the 400 which were biought first, but in the remaining 150 there were only 25 lit to be used in the first row of the wear, and about the same *limber fit for the second ; the remainder were thrown in far rice, sod part went down the river; they were very irregu lar : some very good and slime very bed. By the JUDGE—OiIIy, in his opinion, worth its.; could have bougut better both before and since fur Jesse money ; but never did buy ally ; had been thirty years employed in mitring. John Atkinson, Citldewgate, had hero in the habit of selling eddeis ; never got more than Is. 3d. for the very best. Cross-examined—Never sold any willow edders; all oak tweet ; would prefer hazel. Franck Porter, of Cummersdale, had ' bought adders of all soots ; .2s. ■ good price for them at the place where they were to hr cut ; never knew them as high as 3s. 6d. Jrmes Dunlop, of Caldewgate, had Impe►in tended a great deal of wearing ; bought many thousands; 2s. 6d. was the highest he ever gave fur the very best during thirty years; oak sod hazel best ; would not give so much for willows as the others; had examined Mr. Connell's, they were a black rough, and quite irregular; would not give 111. 6d. for them at the place where they grew. Alexander Pugmure, Judith Dixon. and ltobert Davirkon, were recalled, to prose that Milburn did say they were 3.. 61 per score. John Beeby hail ■ conversation with Milburn last Ftirlay, in which he stated that they were to be 3s. 6.1. and bad ordeied liodgwei to cut them at that price.

CIIMISTOPMER BOUSTEAD W. WILLIAM DROWN. Mr. Rome stated, that this was an action to recover ` the value of work done by Plaintiff for Defendant, who was a butt:nee in this city. and had latelc hunk himself a hinalaimse himae, which the wigs of Carlisle, facetiou.ly vouligli, had denomi nated 'Skewer-hall—in allusion to se/. which the Deli-uilant bud saved. while an apprentice, by cut ting skewers—that was what he called capital whathisg. But if, through the thriftiness of such people, the Plaintiff was to lie taken in for his work. be hail b:tter give over working and shut up his sloop. Pint of the money for the said building the Defrodasit bad paid—but not till lie was arrested and forced to it. The present action ass fur 171. Bs. 61. the price of some doors and windows which Were made for Skewer-hall, to which place he would prove their below carried. lie understuud the defence which would be irt up was, that the Defendant bad settled this bill by giving to Plain tiff 10s: and a leg of mutiou—which itelrlice speaks fraud upon the face of it ; as the Defendant had got llausteed to u public-house, where his friend. were, but w here uu one was to take the part of Plain tiff; %shun they fogliiental by late•ng at Cr tis!e r..

By this means they got him to accept of this hole-and-corner—this 101, and kg of mutton settlement. After this the Plaintiff's mother had bought a loin of mutton of Defendant, for which she was to pay 4•.; she tendered in I ntyment a SI. note, and received hack two 1/. notes, two guinea notes, and 16s. in silver, which, being gs. too much, Mr.. Boustead desired her sou to return them to Defendant. Plaintiff, at the time of offering the its. aid he hoped Mr. Brown did not think tae 10s. and leg of mutton a settlement far the doors and win dows, to which he answered in the negative. Some time subsequent to this, on being told that Plain tiff was going to sue him, he observed that he did not owe 1 much—only for some doors and win. down. Under these circumstances, he trusted the Jury would consider the Plaintiff entitled to their verdict. He should call James Stubh, joiner and cabinet-maker, who for merly worked with Plaintiff, remembered doors and windows being carried away last November; the doors were worth about 225. each, and the windows 29v. and 30s. tech. Defendant ordered witness and his master to lake the doors to a place in Castle street, and the windows to the new building (Skewer-hall.) The windows and doors were deli vered before Brown was arrested. Cross-examined by Mr. A winnow a.—Hied heard there was a borgain to finish the house for • certain sum, but never heard of, or saw, any writing. Catherine Bouatead, mother of Plaintiff; re membered going to purchase meat of Defendant in February or March last—Plaintiff was with her ; she bought a loin of mutton, and gave in payment aU. note, out of which she received two guinea notes, two pound notes, and 16.. in silver, which being 2s. too much, ►he gave them to her son to give back to Brown ; her son offered them, and said be hoped Brown did not consider the 10s. and the leg of mutton as • final settlement for the doors and windows, for which lie expected to be paid ; Defetidant mid he did not, he might keep the 2s. as • part of the payment, end he would pay I the remainder at any time—Brown said they were a substantial good job. Cross-examined—Neter heard of a written agree went. Re-examined.—Got the 5/. note from Mr. Sowerby, of this city, who held some money iii trust for her and her children. James Gibbim, bricklayer, Carlisle, when seeking some money which he wanted from Defendant, had some discourse with him at Nathan Goulding's, and witness told him that Boustead was going to sue him. Brown aeked what for ? and wa. told by Witness that it was for money which he (Brown) owed to Plaintiff. Defendant said he owed him for nothing but some doors and windows, which he would pay him for. . _ (.'rocs-examined.—Thinks he has heard Boustead say there war a written contract. _ [The contract was put in and read, which stated the Bou>tead was to tinish the building in a good and worktnan-like manner for a sum therein speci fied ] His Lordship was of opinion that as there was • written couture', the Plaintiff' ought to be nonsuited.

In the spring and summer months. when the great vivifying principle of vegetable life is pushed through countless myriads of veins and arteries, un til it terminates in all the beautiful variety of leaves, buds, and blossoms—when the rye, tired with the tedious monotony of a northern winter, rests with unspeakable delight on garlanded woods and daisied meadows—when evert the muss or lichen-covered rock " Feels, i• ifs barrenness, some touch of spring," we know of few places in this pert of the country that are better worth visiting than the point of Arbigland, stretching us it does f.r i n to the clear waters of the Solway, and rising almost like ■n Oasis amidst the newly wastes of Curse, mill the benty downs of Southerlies:. Independently of its own fairy scenery, which in a manner divides it from all the world beside, the mansion-house of Arbigland commands a delightful and most exten sive prospect. On the right the bold and precipi tous shore of Culvend—the supposed *emir of Dirk il e dieraiek's exploits—stretches till it dips into the dark and stollen Urr; on the left, the venerable towers of Newalebey and Carlaverock Curtly, the well-wooded heights of Maybie, the infant harbours of the Quay mid Cam. with a num ber of other striking objects, ale seen reced ing in guy and pleasing perspective; in the rear, the sailor's land-mark, and the farmer's weather gauge, the dark and lowering Criit'el head, as if willing, like eastern sovereigns, to &lire importance from his partial ; while in the front, the far-famed Cumberland mountains terminate the prospect, end lend a pleasing con trast to the whole intervening• distance of clear blue water, thriving sea-ports, scattered viraget, fertile plains, and fleecy uplands. Nothing, in fact, can be finer on a clear summer morning than the view which the inmates of Arbigland command of the coast of Cumberland. The morning ilium and evening bugle, that rouse to labour, or invite to repose, the good people of Allonby or Mary port, are distincily audible on our own side of the water, and the fee-de-joie which is tired in ho nour of any public event can he answered at a minute's warning from the shores of Ca!edonia. The nations so long rivals, and divided only by a narrow frith, are rivals no more. At every return of the tide, English, as well as Scot tish. coasting vessels are seen standing for the Nith and the Annan, or peradventure. retulding sway in company to double the Cape of St. Bees; and in a word, in place of hostile clansmen and reavers, the shores of Cumberland and Galloway are now peopled with a race of men who intermingle with each other on all occasions as brothers and friends, and who, even while pursuing their own separate interests, are doing all that in them heal() reci procate the blessings of extended and extending civilization. But, to proceed with our story. Among the many rural appendages of Arbiglaild, there hop. pelieJ, a good many years ago, to he a fine old gan der, who had lived born youth to 54e in the same delightful spot, and whose remarkable, though well authenticated exploits, are well worthy if being recorded in a country newspaper. From the great age and superior sagacity of this bird, he had become a great favourite with the former proprietor of Arbigland, who used to take much pleasure in seeing the sentinel geese strutting through the long grass to rebuke the approach of every stranger, or, at times, leading forth a long train of cackling young, to dip their shooting pinions its the waters of the Solway. One season, however, either the demands for a Christmas goose, or the midnight depredations of the fox and the foulmart, had been so numerous, that the poor old gander was left without a single helpmate—a misfortune which he deplored day and uight by many a doleful ewe, brought from the lowest bass of the cackling gamut. These affectionate reptoings did nut escape the observation of Mr. Craik's servants, sod orders had just been issued for replacing the extirpated breed of geese, when the widowed biped suddenly disappeared, to the great regret of the whole fa mily. One blamed the fox, another the fool mart, and a third the gipsies ; hut the event proved that they were all uiotakeir ; for, one morn ing, as Mr. Craike was entering the breakfast par lour, he heard a well known cackle, and immediately exclaimed, " If the old stag had not been drowned or worried, I could have sworn that that was his cry." This call was immediately repeated, and on going out to the lawn, or on looking out at the window, Mr. C. beheld the identical old gander, surrounded by a whole Hock of bonny lady geese, whose approach he was thus proudly antiouriciug, and whose wings were still dripping with the brine of that element through which he had taught them to pilot their way for • distance of at least twelve or thirteen miles. This singular occur fence naturally excited a good deal of interest, and after making every ',liquify, it 'appeared that the gander had either been carried away by the force of the tide, or had voluntarily swans tu the opposite shore, where, landing on some Lnglish f,rni, he bad immediately attached himself to one of the owuer's geese. and sojourited with her till she had hatched a pretty numerous brood. At length, finding that he h'ad reared up another family to people his favourite retreat, or what is still more probable, being attracted by the woods of Arbig lard, while sporting iii the Solway on some dear swirly tttor g, lie once more ventured to trues the water, carrying with him his English spouse, and her whole brood of Ang/o-Galoridiums. Whether this action was as hottest as it was pro friotic, we will leave others to determine ; but what ever may be said as to the rights of the English farmer, it is certain that this ce.lebrated bird evinced far more gratitude than certain of our countrymen, who, after being accustomed to the rich pastures of England, seem willing to forget that there is such a place as poor old Scotland. At any rate, the proprietor of Arbigland did not think the worse cf the old stag for the wonderful instinct he had displayed ; and had it not been for a circunistrurce which it may be proper to state, he would have un doubtedly dozed away life sery comfortably, arid at last beets buried wilh his fat hers—the highest mark of respect that can be bestowed ou an irrational biped. But there is no providing against the chapter of • A name still common for s gander iu many parts of Scotland. 11 • .0 • accidents: and early one winter morning, stnpiti servant carried awry the gander, by mistake, among a lot of other poultry, which he had beets directed to deliver iss Christmas presents, be distributing the said presents, the Koestler fell to the lot of the father of the present Thomas Goldie, Es 1. whose servants killed and cooked the unfortunate bird, without ever discovering that it had lived more than half a century ; but, when carried to the table, its extraordinary toughness was a subject of much speculation, and fairly bafiled the skill of more thatt one accomplished carver. The late Duchess of Gordon. it is 'lid, once ral lied a gentleman fur his want of dextei ity in carving, who replied, that her Grace would have been less severe on him, had she known the hirtury of the fowl placed before biro, and who, on bring asked to be more explicit, replied, " That it was the mother of the cock that crew to Peter !" We are nut aware that any similar criticism was made on the occa sion to which we allude, but supposing there had, we think the carver might have replied, with equal trash, that the subject on which he had been ws slowly ()venting, was the great relit grandson of one of those classical birds whose well-timed cack ling was a lumina of soviog the Human capitol ! SANDWICH ISLANDS. /From the Cooseetiesit Mirror.) There is now living on the bland of Waohoo in the Pacific Ocelots a black man, named Anthony Allen. from Schenectady in the State of New York. We have thought the following account of which we copy from the mafioso ipt journal of Mrs. Binghsm, would be interesting to those whose atten tion is turned to the subject of the Mission to the Sandwich Islands. It shows that the inhabitant, of those islands, possessing • productive toil and one of the finest climates on the globe s only need the benefits of civilization and the consolations of religion, to snake them independent and happy. " Yesterday we made our visit at Mr. Allen's. H e has a n a tive wife and two pretty children, the eldest of whom lie has taught its letters. He has been very kind in sending us potatoes, squashes, &c. every morning two bottles of goat's milk, and as often as once in two weeks • goat or kid, neatly dressed, besides many other articles of food. He lives so far from us that we cannot benefit his family as we wish. The distance is about two miles. To avoid walking in the bat, we made ourselves ready by ten, locked up our houses, and set off. A 131111.. tirade had assembled by the time we were at the gate to attend us. Our little hand cart which we brought from Ruston, the only wheels on the island, served as • cartiage for those to whom the walk might prove too great. It was an easy matter to get it drawn by the uativer, shafting stage as often as we pleased. " Whet, we arrived at Mr. Allen's territories (which were a large enclosure surrounded by • high fence of poles put into the ground after the native style) we found him at his gate waitiog to give us a polite slid cordial reception. Within the enclosure were his dwelling. eating, and cookiug houses, besides others for his numerous train 0r attendants. There was also a well, • garden of squashes, and an one pail • fold, containing a cow, several sheep. and three hundred goats. After setting upon his table al, caoterr, glasses, and. wine and brandy for our refreshment, he begged to be excused whole he could go and prepare dinner. Rig Wife, • pleasant-looking olative, kept her place in • little room adjoining, upon her mats with her little ones. We could talk with her but little, but instracted her iss sewing and made her • gown. Site temained upon her mats while we. went to die. ner. The table was set in the American style : the first course was w hat we call pot or sea pie, well prepared ; that removed,, boiled pork and fowls, cold nest tarrow•cakes ; then baked pig, after wards pudding, ending with wine and melons. This was not missionary fare. All was neatly cooked mod in order. We endeavoured to mike the afternoon as profitable as we could. He ca pes ted to have had his children beptized. but Mr. B. had sent loins a letter upon the subjeet the night before, and now by conversing with him alone. satisfied his mind that something more was necessary hrfore his children could be thus given up to God. At the close of the afternoon we had served up to us in chins cups. good cof fee and fried cakes. We then, with a present of poi k in our little cart, set utF for home. Our walk home was pleasant. The company out-travel led us. and left Mr. B. and myself quite behind and alone. While on the photo, back of the village, a large conspisoy of natives approached us. At the first moment, womanish fear said, there is • hea then band approaching us, and we are solitary sod alone. Whets the train reached us, we found it was headed breept. Joe, a native, who commands one of the King's schooners. He came up with eagerness to Mr. B. whom he seems to love , and shaking hands ve r y h eart il y , says , " How eio you do.
