It is pleasing also to observe, that the excitement and restless feeling produced by the ru rooursof ameliorations and change% about to be introduced, and artfully misrepresented by evil-minded persons, have entirely subsided, and given place to a more willing obe dience to, and satisfaction with, the existing order of society.

The Right Hon. and Right Rev.

Preeident entered, and apologised to the Meeting for the I.atenevs orris arrival, but had to state that indispensible public . bueinees elsewhere had been the cause of his detention. . The petitions having been gone through, it was unanimously voted, that the whole of the above fourteen applicants be placed upon the lists of the Corporation. The regulations of the Society admitting the proposition of sixteen candidates, two additional pe titions were now presented ; one of which was rejected on account of the age of the applicant, end the other referred to the considers. tion of the Committee. A let et was then sad by the Secretary, from the Rev. Mr. Spence, near Kilshy, in Lincolnshire, containing donations to the amount of 1801. with the list of the donors, and expressing the interest which wee felt in promoting the views of so excellent an Institution, wherever its inbeence and views had been made known In that country; hat regretting at the same time that this know ledge was not sailkiently exModed, and streronusly recommending the appointm,nt of district cesnmittees as the most eligible mode for the furtherance of its laudable purposes. The statements and propositions contained in this letter came warmly recommended by the Archdeacon of Lincoln. .... The PARSIDINT, who expressed his high pedant*, at the letter which had just been read, moved the thanks of is vaimilag go the Archdeacon alk4l Clerge of Lincolnshire, forhaving so aosimaly and successfully seconded the views of the Society, which was car ried unanimously. Another donation, amounting to NIL was announced by the Se cretary, collected in the county of Sarre:; this sulacription, it was woad / had been much promoted through the exertions of the Bishop of Chichester. The Paast DIENS moved the thanks of the meeting to the Bishop of Chichester, which was unanimously canted. Thcßishop of CaICHEITER disclaimed, on his own part, any merit en the occlusion which entitled him to their thanks ; but they were duo, in a peculiar degree, to the Rev. Mr. Davidson, to whose zeal and activity, in co-opmenon with that of other Gentlemen who had engaged in the good cause, they were indebted for the gratify ing result which had been announced to them. Thanks were then voted to Mr. Davidson. and the other Gentle men who had so meritoriously exerted themselves in promoting the viewslof the Society. The PRESIDENT congratulated the meeting on the very grati fying announcements which had been made, of the successful real displayed in the country on behalf of the Society. A proposi. tion had been made, that a statement of the result of the exertions made in Lincolnshire anti Sussex be communicated to other parts of the country ; and it had also been suggested that the appoint. ment of District Committees would be leghly beneficial. In his opinion, it would be most advisable to refer to the consideration of the Committee, what line of conduct it would be best to adopt. It bad been justly stated, that the Society was not sufficiently known ; it would be most desirable that this should be obviated. It was evi dent that in those districts where the nature of the Institution had been properly communicated, there had been great readiness evinced to support it ; but for this they had been indebted to the zeal and ability of some individual of character and !oftener who had taken a warm interest in the Institution ; and this woul d kept in view by the Committee In their ulterior measures. A Resolution to the following effect was then moved, and car ried unanimously : That the subject of District Committees, for the purpose of aiding the views of the Society, be referred to the Committee and that they be empowered to take such steps as they tray think proper to that effect. The PRESIDENT announced a donation of 791., being the pro ceeds of a work written by the late Peter Waldo, Esq. and remitted to the Society by his widow, Mrs. Waldo, who had been a most liberal benefactem,to the Institution; indeed, the names of Mr. slid Mn'. Waldolliid ever been connected with all that was pious and charitable; be should therefore move that the special thanks of the Meeting be given to Mrs. Waldo.—Carried unanimously. After some further routine matters had been disposed of, the general business of the day closed, and the party retired to dinner, which was prepared for them in the Freemasons Tavern. THE GA Jr E LAWS. The Bill brought in by Mr. Stuart Wortley, " to amend the Laws for the Preservation of Gione," has been printed. The pre. amble sets fmth that " the laws now in being, prohibiting persona under a certain degree or rank, and not possessing estates of a certain annual value, from killing game, and nvking it penal to buy or sell game, have been found to be impolitic and inconvenient, and in many cases oppressive and unjust; and it is expedient to repeal certain pans of the same, and to establish other provisions in lieu thereof." The Bill then proceeds to repeal " so much and such parts of any Acts now in force for the preservation of hares, pheattaits, partridges, black game, grouse, heath and moor game, es restrain persons under such degree or rank, and not possessing such estates, as in the said Acts respectively arc specified, from killing, or having in their possession, game, and as impose any penalty upon persons who, not being qualified in such manner as is prescribed by such Acts or any of then, shall pursue, take or destroy game, or have game in their pouession, or keep or use any gun, dog, net, snare, or other engine for the destruction of game; and also so much and such parts oflany Acts now in force as prohibit the buying or selling of game, or as impose any penalty upon persons buying or selling game." By the next clause game is declared to be the property of the owner of the land, except it be common or waste land ; in which ease the lords of manors are entitled to the game. A provision follows, vesting the right to game in persons having rits of common in cases in which there are no lords of manors. Persons entitled to free warren or ftee chase arc entitled to the' game found therein. By the next clause the owners of land, lords of manors, and persons entitled to free warren or free chase, are enabled to demise I game. But tenants for lives or years determinable on lives, or ter longer terms than twenty-one years, are entitled to the game, unless it be specially reserved. No agreement for a lease shall be valid, unless in writing, and duly stamped. The following clause restrains persons from sporting during un lawlel seasons, and also unless they have taken out game certifi cates foe the current yere. Blanks are then left for the penalty on persons trespassing on lands, for the purpose of sporting, without consent. Trespassers refusing to quit land may be apprehended. A further penalty is to be levied on tresspessers retuning to give their names. In the r.ext clause blanks are left for the punishment of night poachers. Offenders may be seised by owners or occupiers, and put in custody of • peace-oEler.

Persons licensed to deal in game.shall deliver, with the game sold by them, their names and Itchirtwes. The powers given by this Act are not to extend to game at present prohibited at certain seisms. By the following clauses power is given to search licensed persons and their premises, and gamekeepers are prohibited from dealing iu game; eacept With permission.

It is next d.ee:ared, that " For the purposes of this Act the word gas c shall be deemed and taken to include and mean, hares, partridges, pheasants, black game, grouse, heath, moor game, and bastards." Summonses for any thing relating to this Art shall be written, and given seethe parties or left at their residence. The parties convicted may appeal to the Quarter Sessions.

COURT OF CHANCERY, TwoAi. FAA 22. IFERWITOLT lIIIKET. The LOAD CNA wc xxLOl stated, that the question in this cause arose en the condition of s bond given by Daniel Birket to Thomas Newman and another, that if a marriage, then intended by him, took effect, and there shculd be issue, the sum of 20001- should be paid to trustees, upon trust for the family, and if there was no issue, then 'YOU ; and for the payment of other sums of money on several contingencies therein get out ; that the question was, what the widow was entitled to have cut of the prooerty of the hus band under the latter provisions of the bond, - and the Chancellor declared, that he did not consider the payment of 1000!., the amount of the penalty in the bond, could be taken is satisfaction of the provision meant to be made by the condition. It was a question whether certain assignments of property made by the hus band in his lifetime, could be taken in satisfaction of the bond, and whether the papers before the Court could be taken to be testa mentary dispositions, and whether they were to stand in the way of an execution of the condition of the bond ? also, whether the resi duary legatee was to bear the whole burthen, or the other legatees were to contribute their proportion ? Be would only this day de termine that the bond was only to be considered as a collateral se curity for the performance of the agreement recited in it, and he ' would give final judgment to morrow morning.

Stitifegs taffies the LORD CHIE7 JIIISTICE and Corntsioa Joriu. TURNER V. HATDON •ND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover the amount of two bins of cx change. Mr. PAREE stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiff was a wholesale draper, residing in Cheapside. The bills in question had been accepted by the defendants, anti indorsed to the pleintilf. Ones( the bills was drawn for 361. pay able 41, the 21st of August, 1824, and the other for 601. 6e. 6d. pa a b le on the 31st of the same month. The defence which, he understood, was intended to be set up to this action was, that the plaintiff had nett presented the bills to the defendants for payment when due. The only question, therefore, was, whether the de fendants were discharged from their acceptance by the plaintiff not having presented the bills in proper time ? He apprehended this question was rather one for his Lordship's judgment than for the decision of the Jury. 1f the bills had been accepted payable only at a particular place, then it would certainly have been the duty of the phtiniff to have preseated them, in order to entitle him to recover ; but the accept ances were gene ral,: therefore he was under no such obligation. Mr. SCARLITT said, that it was his duty to state some facts which had not been mentioned by his Learned Friend. The fact was, that the bills were specially accepted by the defendants, and made payable at the late banking-house of Messrs. etracey and ; that the defendants had funds there to answer the bills ; that they would have been paid if presented when due, but that the plaintiff neglected so to present; and, that the banking-house having failed, in so doing the plaintiff had made the bills his own, and had no right to call on the defendants for the amount. The Lout) CHIEF JUSTICE—When did these bills become due 2 Mr. PAIRE—On the 21st and 3lst of August. LORD CillEr JUITICR—What is the meaning of these me. morandums on the bill, the 21st and 31st of September ? Mr. Penns—These dates were put down by the holders of the bill, as the time when they became due, and hence arose the mistake in not presenting the bills. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I thuught it was usual to note down on a bill the time when due. Joseph Oolightly was a clerk is the late banking-house of Messrs. Marsh and Co. Messrs. flaydon and Co. were in the he bit of keeping cash with them. Had with them on the 21st of August 1921. 6s. ; that balance continued till the 31st of August. Messrs. Marsh and Co. continued to pay till the 13th of Septem ber ; had at that time effects of Messrs. Hayden and Co. to the amount of 1921. 3s. 6d. The Lotto CutEr JUSTICE—Did this balance of Messrs Ilaydon and Co. remain in their hands during the intervening time I—Yes. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What was the lowest sum in their hands during this time I—Not much less than 1001. Mr. SCARLETT—If this bill had been presented, would it have been paid 7—Undoubtedly. The LORD CII/Zr JUSTICE—The only question here is, whe ther the defendants were discharged by the not presenting when the bills fell due? Will you have a special case, Mr. Parke Mr. PARER—It will be sufficient to have the point argued on motion. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE accordingly directed the Jury to find for the plaintiff fur l W. Is. 6d., subject to the judgment of the Cour:. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. _ ......___ STEADMAN S. DAYOSS. Mr. Hilo 1.:13/1A1t stated the case. The defendant was a very re spectable and wealthy innkeeper in the city of London, and the plaintiff had served ham faithfully for a number of years in the ca pacity of bar-maid, The parties had arrived at that period of life that he should not have to call their attention to romantic feeling, such as false vows of plighted love ; but, nevertheless, the injury sustained by this poor woman was very extensive. The defendant was a widower, and had kept the Ours Tavern in Lower Thames street, until, for the purpose of improvement, it was necessary that the house should be taken down, and, on that occasion, the defen. dant got 10,000 f. as an indemnity for it, under the improvement Act. This verdict was obtained principally upon the evidence of the plaintiffherself. The defer.dant was upwards of 50 years, and the plaintiffmore than 10 years of age ; and a brother of the defen. dant had previously married a sister of the plaintiff': and upon the plaintiff leaving the (,lun Tavern, he made proposals of marriage to the plaintiff, who was a maiden lady. The offer was accepted by her, the license was obtained, and the ring bought. The defen. dant, however, from time to time, made excuses for postponing the marriage, and at length, on being pressed one day upon the sub. ject, he assured the plaintiff that she had no reason to make herself the least uneasy upon the subject ; yet it would be proved that on the very morning he gave this assurance. he had purchased a li. cense for the purpose of being married to a younger and a richer lady, which marriage very shortly afterwards took place, by which the plaintiff was exposed to the scorn and indignation of the world. She suffered materielly in her health in consequence, and, without saying any thing to inflame the can; he would prove the facts, and that would entitle him to their verdict. lie cared not what excuse the defendant might set up—he had made the plaintiff's promise of marriage, that promise he had broken, and, for the breach Of it, the plaintiff was entitled to reparation in damages. Seeeral witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff; to prove the facts stated by the Idearnea Counsel in his opening speech. In his charge to the Jury, the Loner CIIIEP JUSTICE observed that if they were satisfied that the promise of marriage had been given, the plaintiff was entitled to such moderate damages as would satisfy the justice of the ave. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages tire hundred pounds. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Tursimr, Fts. 22. • , --- Pdpurned Sittings, before the exisr JUSTICE and a Common POLDER V. HARPER. This wan an action to recover the sum of 141. lent by the plain tiff to the defendant, on the security of a check on the house of Chambers and Co. It appeared that when it wag presented for pay ment a few days after, it was dishonoured, oa account of tin date having been omitted. Shortly after this the house of Chambers and Co. became bankrupt. It 'also eppeared that the defendant had, after the dishonour of the ehec;k, promised payment of the loan, but having failed therein, the plaintiff now brought his ac tion. His Lordship, under the anthorisy of a cue in 6 Xfoorit's Re ports, directed the Jury to ficd •verdict for the plaintiff; on the ground that the defendant had freaked payment after payment of the cheek had Men refined- Verdict for the plain,iff--Damages 1111. OILMAN v. azatirsog. This was an action to recover the value of a quantity of goods supplied on the order of a person aho had generally acted as the defendant's agent. Evidence was produced to that effect. The defence was, that the defendant had not received the whole of the goods, and that he had not given any specific orders concerns log them to his agent. The CHIEF JUSTICE hekl that the defendant was here bound by the action of his agent; but it was finally egreed that a special verdict should be taken, subject to an argument before the Court. Two other cases only were heard in the course of the day, and those of no public intt-est. When about to break up; on account of the length of the suc ceeding causes, the Clams. JuSTICE asked whether the Court of King's Bench usually left %Ming at three o'clock To which Mr. Sergeant Vauct Beg replied, that it wu haff-past three, and that the Court of King's Bench had nearly a hundred causes to go through. The Curler JUSTICE—It is of no consequence to me at what hour we break up ; but pealuips the occasion of there being so few causes here is. that gentlemen get through so few in the day. The Court then broke up at three-and-twvay minutes past three Tat LATE DANK OF NAV/COMES AND Co.—There wag a numerous meeting of the creditors of the late bank of Newcomen and Co., at the Exchange, on Thursday, for the purpose of choosing assignees, in the matter of James Evory, a bankrupt, the surviving partner of that firm.— Lord Castlecoote liv.ving been called to the chair, it wns moved by Francis French, Esq. as acting chairman of the committee, and seconded by Judge Vandeleur—That Sir George Rich, Major Thompson, and Bernard Mullins,' Esq. be the maignees of the bankrupt; and the question being put, sad carried unanimously, these gentlemen imme diately went through the usual form, before the commis sioners of bankrupts , of accepsing the o ffice.—Deb/in Paper.

Yesterday Eliza Louisajay alias Webster, was brought before Tnostas Hat.Li, Esq., for final examination, on the chirp of obtaining a quantity of silks and Japery goods from Messrs. Mann, in Parliament-street. Mr. HALLS, at one period of the examination, expressed his deterrd!nation to adopt the milder course of committing the pri soner for the fraud, although, he observed, the circumstances I would justify him in committing for the (constructive) felony in stealing the goods. After some conversation however with the Solicitor for the prosecution, the Magistrate altered his &tenni nation and committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial for the felony. A gentleman, who stated himself to be second son to the late Sir George Dunbar, stepped forward before the prisoner was re moved from the bar, and begged that the Magistrates would allow him to state publicly that the prisoner was no relation whatever to his family. She was quite unknown to them. He had seen a statement in the public papers in which she was described as tho daughter of Sir George Dunbar, and he hoped that hie unqualified contradiction of that assertion would find its way to the public through the same channel. ORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Daniel Totter, a fireman in the Hope Insurance Company, and Samuel South, a pewterer and beer engine maker, in Bride's-lane, Illackfrian, were brought up for final examination before Mr. BEXITT and Mr. Osaortur, the Magistrates; Mr. Butter -L, a Magistrate, also sat on the bench. The charges against them were, that Trotter had stolen from the ruins of • house which had been burned in North-street, City-road, on the evening of the 6th inst. a quantity of afire', and South was charged with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. Evidence was given to show that South, immediately on his arrest, gave* full acconnt of hie possession of the metal, and his I employer offered hail for his appearance. After some conversation ' between the parties he was put in the witness-box, and Trotta was finally ecunuitted for trial, and the parties bound over to pro. "cute. THAMES OFFICE.

Valle declaring, that *venom send roe as EXECUTION. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the Old Bailey was thronged more than on similar awful occasions by the populace, to witness the execution of Carnegie,: Wood, Hrary Durham, and Edward Harris, nicknamed, among his associates In crime, and, by the officers of police, " Kiddy Harris." As the delinquencies of these unhappy men have, in divers shapes, been communicated to the public, it will be unnecessary to repeat them ; suffice it to say, that Wood, whose age is 29, was capitally convicted, in the January Sessions, of violating the person of a female, named Ann Eyre, in a field near Holloway, which was attended with unusual violence; Henry Durham, who had only attained his 18th year, was convicted of a burglary in the house of Mr. Fraser, in Norfolk.streei, Strand; and Edward llarris, for a desperate attempt to murder a female, servant to a Mr. Hale, of Spitatfields, attended with circumstances almost unparalleled in the annals of crime. Since the conviction of this unfortunate man, which was in the October Sessions, the greatest pains have been taken by the Secre tary of State, the Recorder, and many other humane individuals, to ascertain, if possible, if there were any circumstances apper taining to his case that might soften the crime, and obtain for him a nthigation of his sentence, but their labours proved unsuc cessful, and what they traced out only went to strengthen the evidence given against him on the trial, which in itself was most conclusive. . _ _ WIWI the order for execution reached Newgate, and the purport of it was communicated to the unhappy men who were to suffer, Harris's reason forsook him altogether, and he poured forth the most malignant invectives possible against those whom he termed his "murderers, " and persisted in his innocence. Monday afternoon, bout tom o'clock, the friends and relatives of the culprits were admitted to take their final leave of them. The interviews were unusually heartrending. The friends of Harris exhorted him to attend to the comfort afforded him by the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and to make hls peace with God. lie solemnly per. sistcd in asseverating his innocence of the crime for which be was about to suffer • he declared he was a murdered man , and that his death would fall oa the heads of those who had doomed him to die. Durliam and Wood were particularly attentive to their devotional exercises, but the latter protested his innocence, and only on Monday he declared that the man who drove the cart was the man who committed the crime. Durham admitted the justice of his sentence. A few minutes before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Brown, at tended by his deputy, arrived at Newgate, and shortly after pro. ceeded to the room where the last awful preparations arc made. In a few moments Durham was first introduced, leaning on the arm of mho Rev. Mr. Cotton. He immediately walked towards Mr. Sheriff Brown, and shaking him by the hatd, said, " lilt. Sheriff Brown, 1 thank you most kindly for the very molly atimaism I have received." The Sheriff kindly advised him to atisttmet his attention from all earthly things, and lookto Heaven foe salvation. The preparations of tying the hands and pinioning being per. formed, he again addressed the Sheriff, and said, " I have no hope out in my Saviour. I do not fear dying, but I feel the disgrace that I have brought upon my family and friends—and, oh, my pocmdear mother it will break hoe heart, and cause her death— (Here his feelings overcame him, and he burst into a flood of , tears.) He was then banded to a seat, where he remained while the preparatior.s of his fellow-sufferers were going on. Wood was next brought in, leaning on the arm of one of the gaolers. Mr. Sheriff Brown also addressed him most feelingly, and begged hint to put his trust in God. All we heard hint say was, "I am innocent of this crime." He was then seated by the side of Durham. He has throughout declared his innocence of the crime imputed to him, and has repeatedly stated that it was the man who was in the cart with him who committed violence on the person of the young woman, Mary Eyre. Wood was dressed somewhat shabbily, in a brown close coat, and appeared to be of • very different grade from his fellow-sufferer Durham. He was ten days younger than Durham. Harris was now brought in between two of the officers of the gaol, and others attending. Here, indeed, was • scene awful In the extreme. The moment he put his foot on the step of the room, he said—" I am murdered," and continued exclaiming—" I'm murdered—l'm murdered—l'm murdered," until lie reached the further part of the room. Ile then addressed Mr. Sheriff Brown I looking wildly, and talking very fast, "Oh, Mr. Sheriff Brown Is not this too bad ?—1 am innocent—l know nothing of it at a 11... Is not this • disgrace to the country ?-1 ant innocent, so help me God I" The Sheriff in vain begged him to think of his situation, and, for the few moments he had to live, to look to Jesus Christ for help. During this time his hands were tied. When the Alms came up to him for that purpose, lie said, " You will do as you like with me—l suppose you will do it 1" When the officer was in the act of tying the cord round his wrists, he said, " You need not hurt me more than is necessary." Then turning his face to wards the persons present connected with the press, and looking most steadfastly at two or three that were nearest to him, he said, " Oh, Gentlemen, I am innocent, I am murdered ; I am, so help me God 1--as lam a dying man. I know I have been a wicked man, and a fighting man, and all that, bat of this! em innocent. Is not this a shame, to keep a man five months in gaol, and then to bring him out and bang him ?" He then dropped on his knees before Mr. Sheriff Brown and others, who were around him, and lifting up his bands, and looking upwards, once more said, " Of this'll am toeseant: end may i endure everlasting toroseuts if what I am saying is not true !" again appealing to the Al mighty. All being ready, he was lifted up, and turning sharply round, in a naturally quick tone said, " But where arc my fellow_ sufferers ?" They had began to move in solemn procession, pre ceded by the officers and Sheriff: he was placed third, and, seeing them, he said, " Oh, here they are." Approaching the door of the room he turned round again, and said," Where's the boatswain ? (an officer of the wa-d, we presume, wherein he had been confined,) Oh, hest he is ; come, old boy, lees shake bands, (they did God bless you !" All being thus arranged, with slow pace they moved through the long and dreary passages leading to the fatal platform. The mo ment Harris set has foot in the first passage, he cried out, " Mur der, murder, murder, murder!" until the recesses of the dismal abode re-echoed--so much so, that the voice of the Rev. Divine could not for some time be heard while reading the burial service. When the bell first tolled he was a little more calm. Having ar rived at the lobby, from which they ascend to the fatal tree, Our. ham was led out first, and the cord placed round his neck ; there appeared to be universal commiseration fur hint. IVood was next led out, and at the gate seeing Mr. Harris, one of the turnkeys, he turned to hint, ano calmly said, " Let us shake hands, Mr. Har ris ;" and in the ect of doing so said, " I am innocent of this, so help me God i" During the time the executioner was performing his duty with Durham and Wood, Harris kept talking to those around, and pro. testing his innocence,. declaring it was a plan, betlause he had been before transported, and that it was the doing orsonie wicked wretch, and spoke el the woman •ho was a warns against him. The time being arrived for his ascending the steps, the - moment be went out upon the drop be recommenced his exclamations of " Murder, murder ! I am murdered ! I ant Muttered'!" until the cap was drawn over his eyes ; and in a few seconds the drop fell, and dosed this world for ever to them, at eighteen minutes past oight o'clock. With the exception of extraordinary occasions, there has never been a grater concourse of people present. Harris's conduct oa the scaffold produced a strong feeling, and some expressed their disapprobation. There was a dense fag during the whole of the time, adding much to the gloom of the sane. • A yacht of 110 tons burtben. is now building at Hut icy, for Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION. (FURTHER PAITICULAIIII.) From the Caledoaias Mercury of Saturday.? The explosion of Stobbs' powder-mills, on Friday morning. shook the country for twenty miles round. This manufactory, which has been carried on for many years by ?ileums. Hitchiner and Hunter, at Stobbs, is situated in a sleep ravine, about four miles south of Dalkeith, surrounded on all sides by a plantation of young trees. The works are extensive. The horse, which was in the waggon, was thrown to the distance of about thirty yards ; the waggon was shattered into • thousand pieces, some of it being found at a great distance from the works. There were two persoos about 50 yards distant when the houses blew up, Mr. Hunter, and one of the workmen, who was loading the cart with wocd. Mr. Hunter was slightly hurt in the I*. He was driven into an ad joining drain, to the protection of which it is supposed he owed his safety, the materials projected by We force of the explosion flying over his head. The burning rafters of the buildings were scattered in various directions, and sonic of these, being thrown on the top of the knowe, among the broom and whine. set fire to them, which, being seen burning, added considerably to the alarm spread by this dreadful catastrophe. The adjoining trees are some of them tort up by the roots, while others are cut asunder about the middle, as if by the operation of a raw, the stump being only left standing ; and altogether the adjoining country presents a striking seem of ravage and desolation, and gives fearful evidence of the prodigious power of the agency which could in a moment produce such terrible effects. A ploughman, about a mile off, was thrown from his plough to the distance of nearly thirty yards, but received nu injury. The quantity of gunpowder exploded is estimated at about GO barrels, containing each 112Ihs. The damage to the work is estimated not much to exceed 1,00 W., as the buildings are Such parts of the remains of the unfortunate sufferers by this ac cident as could be found were interred yesterday. They had both families. Walter Thomson has left a . widow and family of five children, the youngest only ten months old, and the oldest only thirteen years. The family of Cornwall, who had been employed about these mills for 25 years, are mostly grown up. A dreadful explosion took place at these mills on the 30th June, 1803. On that occasion throe lives were lost; Mr. Hunter, a pro prietor, was killed in his own garden, by a large stone, which car oied away his arm. NORTH BIRWICI, Era. 17. This morning, a little past eight o'clock, in conszrinence of the explosion of the powder mills near Dalkeith, two dreadfidayares. or rather loud peals of noise, were heard, like the distant ad cannon. The whole of the houses in this place trembled, down shook, and the doors in some houses flew open. It a slight shock of an earthivake, or sonic other dreadful of nature. I understand it has been more distinctly c at s sl i t south of this. 1 I I I g b ♦o li ty ' r 11F" : i • , • ! . 1 ... • , _lt 1 fa to Y a I I eti Oi tit 1 11 :.; ea . 1 .54 mu 9 ir ,, be: fi thi P. du e l ii R ti , or I en 4St in I' 10; b ti v a , I - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PCDESTRIAMISM.—Beavio, the pedestrian, continues to m his extraordinary task of walking five times a day, the be tween Truro and Falmouth. Yesterday was the 11th testa b weather was very unfavourable, rind the roads deeo, yet pieced his undertaking iu something less than eighteen itioni, The distance is certainly not less than 60 miles a day. Taking into account the very hilly road he has to traverse, his performance will undoubtedly rank among the most extraordinary feats of pe destrianism on record; especially when it is considered that he has had no advintage front training. Under proper maemgement he is likely to rival the most celebrated walkers of the present day.— West Briton cf Fridat. In the discussion on the Hydrabad Papers at the India House, the main question seems to be—Was the interest on the loan to the Nis= Government tnoderate or immo derate ? This must entirely depend on the security at the time of advancing the:oan ; for interest is composed of two parts ; one for the use of money, the other as insurance against risk ; and under the precarious state of some Go. vernments, fifty per cent. for a loan would be no more usurious than four per cent. if advanced on the national security of England. The great surprise of foreigners is, that in this country, although the payment is guaranteed by Government, yet any person who pays less than 201. in buying a Lottery Ticket, can gain 20,0001. in a few weeks, and have the money on demand, as in the present Scheme of Four Prizes of 20,0001., &c. &c.
