MELANCHOLY CASE. A middle-aged female. dressed in ragged sable, and whose haggard countetiance still exhibited t f former beauty, yesterday applied for parochial relief for herself and two chil dren, who were exposed to the keenest distress. It appeared (ruin her statement that she was born at St John's, New Brunswick, in British Columbia, where she married au eminent merchant, by whom she had Iwo chil dren. At his death, which happened about two years ago, he left her considerable property, and also provided hand. somely for the children. In an evil hour she was induced to listen to the addresses a a person calling himself Cap tain M•Govrran, who represented himself as a man of for- Now, and they were ultimately married. She niifortunately intrusted him with the documents relative to her children's fortune, and at his suggestion a vessel was purehased and they came to England; but he had scarcely landed them in [Antilop before he turned every thing be could into rub, and abandoned them to their fate. After some mouths, during which they were exposed to the severest privations, her has. baud having dissipated all she brought Inhim , was arrested, and now bra in the king's Bench prison; but nothing could induce him to deliver up the papers, without which the childieu would be deprived of their natural inheritance— She had been many days exposed to the pangs of hunger and thirst, when she unexpectedly found a friend in that CV - PU.III institution the Mendicity Society; but not bring such au objet an is contemplated by the rules and consti lotion nf that Society, she was discharged, and was now again thrown upon the world without a hope. The pariah officer admitted that he knew the material part of her story was true; but be thought as she had been already troubli sonic to him, she ought " to give some other parish a turn." Mr. Alderman Smith inmanily ordered her temporary re lief, and eloalaing for her children. INQUESTS. An Inquest was held at the Fortune of War, Portsmouth, on Thursday last, before Mr. F. Howard, Coroner, on a view of the body of Julio Tucker, • seaman, who was discovered banging to a bed-post, at the Neptune and Mars, where be hail taken lodgings for the night. It appeared in evidence, that he went into that public-house on Tuesday evening, being a strange►, and sitting himself down in the tap-room, he called for a pint of beer, with which he was supplied; that be placed :himself is the darkest part of the room, •nd although several persons were drinking mud conversing in the same room, he did not appear to take any notice of them, but sat to a melancholy mood, with his elbow npo■ the table, and his brad resting upon his hand, for more than an hour, when he went to bed, previously to which, however, he had booked his name, and paid ten shillings and six pence to Mr. Parnell, the landlord (who is a partner of the packet), for his passage to Plymouth. Oa the folluwiug afternoon, the servant, on going into the bed room to make the bed, found the deceased suspended by • black silk handkerchief to the bed-post; she called MINIUM", and the body was cot down, but it was quite cold ; Ise appeared as if he had been dead some hours. Os searching the deceased's pockets, there were found between six ■nd seven pounds in money, two silver watches, • gold ring, • red morocco pocket book, and several papers, one of which was a certificate of the illicit:tee of John Tricker, from his Ma jetity'a ship Spencer, on the Ist iOllllllll, when that ship was paid off, to which it appears he bad belonged upwards of three years, as so able stamen. A smart ticket was also found in his possession, by which it appeared be was a na tive of Ilfracombe, in the county of Devon, and was 30 years age. Verdiel--/nerutity.

He was a young man of good appearance and much respected. On Wednesday a Coroner's inquest was held on the body, when a terdict was returned of Insanity. DISTRENSING OCCURRENCE. [From " The Lewiston (Niagara) Democrat," Nov. 1] It becomes our duty this week, to record one of the most horrid accidents which can possibly fall to the list of bumau being . The facts, as near as we can gather them, are these :—On Sunday last, some families, who had been living on Navy Island, in the Niagara river, had made preparations fur removing so die Canada shore, and hsd loaded a boat with their household effects. The wind rising to a conga derahle height, it was thought imprudent, by some of the party, to attempt crossing so near the falls with the wind blowing down stream. Some of them, consequently, re fused to embark; but three men, more bold, ur leas con siderate than the ml, went aboard for the purpose of cross ing ; but thinking proper to wait • little fur she falling of the wi n d, they all laid down to sleep. During this time, the rising of :he water, or some other cause, loosened the host from its moorings, and these unfortuuate mess soon found themselves fast approaching the rapids, which kd to the main falls. Nu lininun power could stow save them, and they were precipitated into the 'geniil world by our of the mesa awful deaths which it is possible to conceive. Mauy of their goods were seen floating below the falls, muds broke,. to pieces, except a dining table, which floated ashore uninjured. Os Tuesday night an Mr. Outlier, one of the Magiatrates at Union Hall Police-office, was riding tu bin chaise, mecum. fowled by his servant, iu Priticts-sireet, Sohn, he slopped at a mustc•shup, and his servant went to the bead of the buries, when an audacious thief look his cost out of the chaise cud ran oft', but he was seen by too children, who made en alarm, and he was followed and secured With the coat. He was iusiausly taken before Mr. Conant, at Marl lwrough-street, %there lw gave his name Charlie Newman. He was fully committed for trial. On Tuesday night as the carriage of Mr. Si.* mumps, of Russell-square, was golug empty from the dour, two thieves came up and took out the 'Klass,' with which they rats otf, lout the coachman °lwo risig them, made ass nnusedi ate pursuit mut took cone of them, hut the other escApecl with the glows. The glasses had been stolen to the tame manner flout the carriage of Mr. Justice BURIIOUGH. rtruss AND RENTS. At a meeting of the Landholders of the Union of Thomas town and Colloovkill, ih this county, convened by sum mons, on Wednesday, the '2Bth day of November last, and held in the Court•house of that town, fur the purpose of ea• forcing the payment of tithes, Sir J. C. Coghill, Hart. as sisted by another Magistrate un the Bench, it is consoling to find, that after a lung and impartial investigation, the op. right and independent Magistrate alluded to, has sot only reduced in amount the general rate of such valuations as to his judgment appeared oppressive (and thus the frequent and baneful source of rural discontent),—that is, from twelve to eight shillings the acre for potatoes, wheat, &c. and so in proportion for other grain ; hut also, taking a conscientious view of the subject, and justly considering the present tow and liuctaatiog price of all agricultural produce, has, in the true spirit of conciliation and philanthropy, protracted the usual time of payment to a period more favourable to the means and expectations of the struggling husbandman.— A decision such as this is, indeed, eminently due to the industry and peaceful demeanour of the people here, and their ready and implicit obedience to the laws.—(KilArrep Moderator.) CHICIIRSTRR CHRISTMAS CATTLE SHEW. The prediction in respect to the index of company, on Wednesday, at the Beast-market in Chichester, was ,reified; the competition was great, and the unsuccessful candidates were gratified with the approbation of, perhaps, some of the first graziers and agriculturists of the kingdom. After the spew, 150 persons partook of a dinner at the Swan Inn, and well satisfied were they with the viand+ set before them. On the declaration of the prizes, not a dissentient voice wy heard.—Umpirts, Mr. Hope, of Epsom; Mr. Harmer, of Brighton ; and Mr. Mailewell, of Dorking. The Right Hoc William Huskisson presided, who addressed the company at considerable length un the present state of agriculture, par ticularly in this county: the Right Hun. Gentleman recom mended patience, and hoped next year the company would assemble with more smiling fates. SMITHFIELD CLUB. At a meeting of the Smithfield Club on Friday, the Secretary reed the following letter from his Grace the Duke of Bedford : " Woobern Abbey, December 6. " Sin—Perceiving by the Farmer's Journal, that the First Christmas Meeting of the Smithfield Club is fixed for Friday, the 14th lament, 1 feel it incumbent on wee to avail myself of this opportunity (the senditig of certificates of his Grace's stock to be shelve) to state my determination to withdraw my name from the Club: it will IleC aaaaa ily follow from this, that 1 shall, after the eosuiug Show, discontinue to offer those premiums which 1 have hitherto given. On a former occasion I stated it to be my lineation to place these pre miums at the disposal of the Smithfield Chits, as long as they might be thought coaducive to the great objects for which this Society was originally established. Those with whom 1 have communicated on the subject, some of the Vice-Presidents, and several of the most efficient and intel ligent members of the Club, agree in opinion with me, that the advantages which, on the first formation of the Institu tion, we held out to the public, have been amply realised, and that any further incentive to improve the breeds of cattle, sheep, and swine, is become wholly useless. " It was stated at use of the earliest meetings of the So ciety by my lamented predecessor, that one only object was • to increase the animal produce of the and this object ban been fully attained. The meat starlets of the me tropolis, and throughout the kingdom, are abundantly sup plied; the hest and must profitable breeds of cattle and sheep have been brought into notice, and have made rapid and extraurilioary progress in the estimation of the breeder and the grazier, sad the coarse and unsightly atinnals, alike unprofitable to both, have gradually disappeared ; the consumption, indeed, has hardly kept pace with the sup ply, notwithetandiug an increased population, as the pre sent low prices must sufficiently abets : therefore are the laudable objects of the Smithfield Society completely attain ed; sad here, is my opioiuu, ought our labours and our exertions to terminate. " It may gratify perhaps the personal vanity of some of es to exhibit extraordivary animate, but the public derives no benefit from our bringing to a greater degree of parke sloe animals of a breed knuwu to possess the highest merit. Agricultural Societies should have but one object in view— the public beueit ; Ibis haa been the early, constant, and unremitting pursuit of the Smithfield Club : if no further g I good is to be obtained, I think the sooner we dissolve ourselves the better ; but I state ilia', without presumption, as my own opinion, though not unsupported by that of other members, in whose judgment I have the highest con fidence. It would, however, be the height of arrogance in me to attempt to dictate to the Club the line of coudurt they ought to pursue : whatever decision they may come to I am persuaded will be influenced solely by a regard to the natiumal welfare. 7 l am, Sir, " Yuur must obedient humble Scream, " BEDFORD. " Mr. John Esrey, Secretary to the Smithfield Club." The letter was then ordered to be entered on the minutes; after which it wus Resolved unanimously—That the respectful thinks of this meeting be presented to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, fur the honour which the Smithfield Club has, throN,h many years, received, by having his Grace as its President, and fur hi■ Grace's premiums for live stock, so long mad liberally given through the medium of the Club; with an assurance that the circumstance of his Grace baying determined to withdraw frusta the Club both his name and premiums, will not lessen the sense of past favours received, ur diminish the respect which the members most ever entertain fur the illus trious House of Russell." MAD DOGS. The streets of Reading have for some years past been in. feuded by the enormous number of dogs running lamest in them, to the great annoy ince of passengers. This evil has of late greatly increased, and canine madness has become so prevalent as to attract the serious notice of the Magistrates (several perst.ns having been reeently bitten). An order his is eciasequeuee been issued to destroy all dogs found at large, which has in I itatices been carsied into execution, besides many of these animals which have been killed by dif ferent individuals. And to put a further stop to this nuisance, it has been recommended to the parish officers to refuse fetter to all paupers keeping dogs ; sod to the ors of taxes rigidly to enforce the payment of thetas upon dugs. Since our last we have received a few more particulars of the melancholy catastrophe at Kendal. it appears that Doc tor Tomtits, his wife, and his wife's Ember, Mrs. Gorr, had spent the eventing at a friend's Louse, where some angry words passed. Ott coming home they went into the kitchen (the parlour fire probably having gone out), and there Dr. T. saw one of him books Ding on the table. He immediately observed that the t liad been to his book-case and taken the book. Mrs. T. replied, that it was she herself who had taken it out and left it on the table. The Doctor, with • wildness which indicated iosanity, said, " I'll stop your prate, Madam," and went up stain (or a brace of loaded pis. tots, with one of which he shot his amiable Lady through the head, before the face of her mother, and then attempted to shoot himself in a similar manner; he fell, but the ba I only grazed his ear and the side of hi► head. The rau out fur assistance, and when some friends arrived. there lay Mrs. Tomtits dead; her litoshand, wounded, senseless, and bleeding; and Mrs. Gerr under the influence of s fainting fit—a must dis.ressing scene., The unhappy man has been lodged in Appleby gaol, under the Coroner's warrant, on • charge of wilful murder, where he is at pre sent watched both night and day, to .prevent suicide. It is to be hoped that be will soots become more calm ; but to what horrors will he awake ! There can be no doubt of his ineautty.—(Carlisle Patriot.) SETTLEMENT IN UPPER CANADA. - _ Lefler front a Scottish Emigrant, dated al Polk, Upper Canada, September 10, 1821. . . " Being engaged to come to this place to attend a flour mill, I removed on the Ist of July, and I am happy to in form you I have no cause to repent of my conduct in that respect. lam enabled by my income to support my family in plenty. We want for none of the necessaries of life, and we cress enjoy a great many of the luxuries which we never could have expected to have had at home. I have fur my wages one third of all the mill's prodace, and a free house and firing. I may say with safety that if I could sell my flour for cash, I would have at least ninety pounds • year ; but as mosey is very scarce here, I am obliged to barter the most of it foe clothing, little nee sssss les for the I se, and work upon my farm, which, I am happy to say, is doing ex tremely well. I have an excellent crop of Indies corn, pole: toes, beans, pease, pumpkins, turnips, cucumbers, squashes, water melons, marsh melons, parsnip., and Scottish kale. I ans proud to tell you, that from the 16th of March last, to the 16th of April, my Anne made upwards of 70 pounds of sugar from our own Maple trees ; and had I been at home, I ■m certain she would have made three times the quantity, for she not only boiled the sap of the trees, but she wrought with the axe, and made troughs for holding it, and cut all the firewood she needed; I being at that time em ployed at phi■ mill fur • month, for which I received three barrels of flour, bed •nd board. I can say with troth that we have no occasion in rue leaving on, native land; bath blessed Ds for beyond our deserviugs. We live in one of t►e healthiest climates in the world, we have uever known sickness nor disease since we arrived; we arc truly happy in a thriving family, ■ad pleaty to give them. Anne desires me to inform you, that her most earnest desire on earth is, that we had yule with us, that you might spend the remainder of your day• ill ease and quiet, ■nd I assure you that were you but here, we would account it the greatest blessing we could receive on this aide of time. If there is •ny possibility of your attempt. ing it, I think pow never could du better thau come next season. 1 have Pit f land cleared, soil by that time I intend to have twelve at least, which, with my income here, will be more than sufficient to support us all. We are comfortable in every respect, but wearying to see you. We are 'dusted within leas than • quarter of • mile of the town of Perth, where there is a Presbyterian and Episen. Waal' and Roguish Church, and two schoolhouses, with plenty of shops of all kinds. The country is well ielsabited for malty a mile ■round us: there is a faintly on almost every hundred acre,. With respict to the situation of my own land nothing ran execed it; it lies on the mirth side of the Clyde, at • place of the river where it forms keel( into a lake about • hundred acres. The house is situated on the banks of the lake, within plat .l shut of the water. I have likewise • spring well about ten yards from the door. The soil is generally a mixture of earth end clay, tit to raise any crop; it is on the whole a beautiful place. The Deputy Governor of the Province says, that be has not seen such a situation in Canada. w When I left home you desired me to write milking but the truth : what I have here wrote is exactly as I feel. We had many difficulties to encounter, as every one mu4t who comes here without money, but patience and perseverance will soon overcome these difficulties. Mine, I fondly hope, are nearly over; smother good crop will put our family out of the reach of want of plenty of provisions of all hinds. You desired me toil) , what I stand must in nerd of; I am in real need of nothing, bat a gralefol heart to the Almighty 6,r his daily blessiugs, and to my generous benefactors who were the means of my reachiug a laud where honest industry tweets its reward."

The Sir David Scott and William Fairlie East India:mu, with the rest of the outward. bound, remain all well. On Tuesday night last a daring burglary was committed at the school of Mrs. PARKER, at Salt hill. The house was entered from the garden, the shutters having been cut through with a centre-bit. The robber or robbers proceeded through several rooms, without removing any effects, to the pantry ; from which they carried off the plate and linen, to the value of SOL The facility with which the robbery was efl'ected, thews that the offenders mu • hate been well acquainted with the premises. On Friday morning some persons hearing an un usual noise issue from below the grate belonging to the road-sewer near the Angel Inn, Old Bridge, Bath, were attracted to the spot and upon digging a hole in the road they discovered that the sound proceeded from a tine sow, which fell into the river, from the back of a house in Claret ton-street, on the preceding Friday during the high water, and was supposed to have been drowned. It appears that the animal hod floated down the stream under the southernmost arch of the bridge, and guided by the powerful instinct which pointed out the only means of preservation, had effected an entrance into the mouth of the sewer, whence it proceeded un der the t urnpike-rtrad to the place where it was dis covered.
