Although several alleles of value lay about the room, they remained untouched. There is no doubt the thief was well acquainted with the premises. . . On Saturday night, as a lady 'and gentleman were re turning. to town in a chase, in passing through Old.streer, about nine o'clock, the horse became entangled among some broker's goods exposed fur 'Ale, when the chaise was overturned, and the lady was so severely bruised, that she was conveyed to Hr. Wild. bores a surgeon opposite , with little hope of recovery. This road has of ' late became a public nuisance, in brokers . and others ob structing the road * and pavement, and deserves attention from the proper quarter. A few weeks since a horse took fright at some furniture standing in the road, and a gentleman was thrown out and severely , bruised, and it was wiih difficulty the animal wu se. cured from doing further m i sc hi e f . . . . Hoes.—Saturday morning, about five o'clock, a fire broke out in the lior , e of Mr. Elliot, chemist and druggist, 37, Fenchurch-street, which entirely destroyed the stock, furniture, and building.

The near approach of that day, on which the birth-day of our beloved Sovereign is celebrated, hes ewri , ed the utmost bustle in the Fush:oneble World, as the Monarch of the United Kingdom will be at lis Palate (as conjectured) on that day. This will account for the immense orders which Messrs.

ENGLISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS SHIP CANAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. sll,—Having obs , mred a lung invidious article, signed " Sere tator," in the New Times of Saturday last, pretending to examine the arguments of the promoters and opponents of the above Canal, but, in reality, making the most garbled and unfair representatives in order to discredit the opposition, I beg leave to inform you that, being materially interested as a land•owlicr on the line of the pro jected Canal, I lately caused inquiries to be made at Belfast as to the mode in which the petition in favour of the Ship Canal was got up at that place. and the result moves that it was not upon a dim examination of the merits of the measure. Pvly corresparder.t states, that the only persons in that port who could possibly be benefited by the Canal were the proprieto:s of vessels constantly trading Sidi London, and he has transmitted me a letter from one of the principal houses on the subject, with per. mission to make use of it, of which the folios ing is a copy : •• Belfast. 9th April, 1115. "Sir,—ln reply to your requett that we would state our oriniou as to the advantage to be derived by this part of the country from the proposed Canal from letollord to Beer, which is to connect the Bristol and English Channels, we beg to acquaint you that we consider no advantage can accrue from the projected sr-tunic, caches in a saving of time, a reduction of freight. or a suving of lives by avoiding a dangerous passage round the Land's End. As per , prietors of nine vessels trading between this port and Lonenn, we find that, during the last four years, the passage to and from Loos don, winter and summer, has hem effected on an average in nine data, and we believe that the strong currents and other unfavour able circumstances of the Bristol Channel, the delay re . passing a vessel of ISO to 200 tons through a canal of considerable length, with many locks, together soh the occasional impedimenta of drought or frost, would caoac more time to be occupied in that than in the present passage. " As the passage through the Canal would most probably ton. sume more time, the freight would consequently be higher, lode pendent of the increase necessary for defraying t vessel'e expense through the Canal, which would be very considerable. " With regard to the saving of lives, we can only as that due. ing the last four years in which these %easels have left London and Belfast once a week, we have not yet lust one, nor have any of them been b lm een lost shtire on y t t he e in :S of Devon or Cornwall, so this no Le have es " %Were the Canal open at present, we would not mad any of oar vessels through it for the foregoing reasons. " We are, Sir, Yoiti most obedient Servant& (Signed) " GEOROL LANGTRY and CO." it is wen known that the writers of this letter are men of the highest respectability. and are the principal persons employed in carrying the Irish linens and other goods from that part of Ireland. Their letter requires to comment. It is a clear and explicit state ment of facts, and contains a complete answer to many of the erro neous calculations upon which the schema is founded, and effec tually disproves Captain Nichols's theory of a saving of fowler* days on each voyage out and home, upon which the promoters UK their claim for support, as it dearly appears that the entire voyage has been regularly petformed, on an at erage, in nine days. am, tiir, etc. A LANDOWNER.

Oa Friday the prisoner was sent with a quantity of Oros de Naples, and other silk, to a lady in Jerroyn-street, and on his return be entered in the day-book an account of the raid to him by the lady for the goods. In consequence of some suspicion, another shopman was sent to the lady, and it turned out that he had received 18a. more than he had accounted for to his employer. His box was searched, and therein were found several silk articles, the property of Mr. Simons. The prisoner, overwhelmed with shame, was detained in the kitchen till a constable arrived, and during that time he wrote a letter, which he addressed to hls mother, in *Web he stated, " that he hoped she would ray his debts, which were very trifling, and this was the last request her dying son, Edmund Wakeling." At this time lie had meditated suicide; and on Webb, the constable, making his arly:.:nutce, he found the pri soner struggling with a leflow.shopmen in a water-closet; the prisonSr bad a knife in bis right hand, and had inflicted a wound in his throat. 11 - ebb struck his hand t.:.11 a stick, and he dropped the knife, and was secured. The prisoner exrzessed his sorrow to the constable for having attempted telf.clestruction ; but he de clared that he never could .urvive a tea . section that involved him in such a disgrace, and would break Cie heart of an affectionate mother; and he contrived to get another knife out of a drawer, and cut another and a more dangerous wound in hls throat. .Mr. Jemniet, the stirgron,. Was called in. and sewed up the wound. The misoner was taken to the watchhouse, and during the night he tore the nandage from his throat, and the wounds bled so profusely that the bed and clothes were soaked in ware. 'Mr. DYES, the 3lagistrate„ asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge preferred against him? lie said that he lost a sovereign out of his pocket on returning front the lady, and instead of acknowledging the fact to his ems plot ar, li- entered !Ss. less than he ought to have done. Mr. S . :lions said he hail every reason to believe that this story was In invention 'of the prisoner's, and he interrogated hint about having possession of the silk s h aw l s tiiund in his box. The prisoner said that he had entered them In the sccount which was onened between hisnrelf and his employer. Simons con trad lewd this as s ertion. The prisoner was remanded. OU T .

Wring the last week the Firmer conducted hintsAf M so extra ordinary a manner, that he was thought to be eith,-:r drunk or do. ranged, and his employer sent him home to his friend., but did not give him kis discharge. Oa Friday eveni , :g the prisoner and his brother came to Mr. Prates house, and they demanded the pri soner's trunk. Mr. Pratt went to the garden gate to them, and the prisoner's brother knocked Mr. Prnit down and kicked him.
