Svc age: could see no reason why his Learned Friend alLudd make iuch a statement, w the prejudice of the prisoner. Mr. Harty said the necessity for his making such a statement was, that the creditors of the bankrupt should not be considered by the public such a set of harsh creditors as the bankrupt's ;tumid could represent them to be, because they neither asked our v.ish,:d for my d‘ingou earth but to have justice.

The ein:uinstancea relative to this young lady, who is a minor, and nutlet the control of guardians of her person and estate, ap pointed by this Court, were mentioned to his Lordship the other day. namely, that she had eloped with a young gentleman to Gretna Green and got married, and that the parties, since their return, had tr.detvouted to confirm their union by repeating the ceremony of marriage •by banns, but which the guardian of the young lady's estate (her other guardian being dead) had forbidden, and had brought .tbe matter, for his own security, before the Court. Ilia Lordship, on that occasion, suggested that a short bill might be tiled in this case. Plr. AGAR this da► informed his Lordship that a bill had limn find, playing that the property of the young lady might be settled upon het, and th►t the partici might be at liberty to celebrate their marriage according to the ritual of the Church of England. The kiitardian did not wish to do roy thing in the matter without the 'sanction of the Court, aatl he therefore waited his Lordship's dime tionhow to act. . _ _ _ The laor.n Cstaxcettoa observed, that after the young lady had been to Gretna Green he should not now direct that the parties shou:d not be married. It appeared to him that the best thing that could be done wu to adopt that course which would remove all diatibts about th. marriage. If the parties were married at Gretna ritreen their ►eing again married would do no harm t and if they were tot be thought at was expedient that they should be married hb►. As to the settlement, lit It he referred to the Muter to say what amount should be settled on the lady, having reference to the riecumst ante' of the parties. vi-ranTE imix.woon, ix NE HOWARD AND GIBBS, DANZ. RCPT S. M. MONTAGU stated, that this was a petition from Mr. Bur. wood., the messenger under the commission of bankrupt issued ara , inst Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, by Mr. Campbell, and which lush been superseded by his lordship on the ground that there was co &tit frnm those persons th the petitioning creditor. The prayer us the present patitton was, that his Lordship, under the circum. stances, would be pleased to order that Mr, George Smith. the so- lamer to that commiwion, 'bothd pay the messengi,r's bill, lie being In fact the real petitioning creditor. and the sole concoctor of the docket struck against II ()Tani and Giblit ; Mr. Caniphiil being only an instrument, n mere in in of straw, made use of by Mr. Sandi to serve his own purposes. A petition had been presented on chit subject to his Penour the Vire-Chancellor, who hid thought proper to dismiss it with costs.

If it was meant to say that Mr. Smith had not legal no.iec, then ha soncurred with his amour ; but if it wits considered that Mr. Sidfihlttad no notice at all, then he differed entirely from that •lec., t far the whole matter turned upon this question of law, ther an attorney being present at the examination of his Eat before the Commissioners. and being asked upon oath othwthse all that his elitnt had said respecting hint was teas led he admitted that it was 'true the question was le that admission could be given in evidence against Isi -,..1ik LMr. Montsiro) (always thought that what he might' ler sirs - w—a. e.:l, 7 , * (l ll3 on ev oa id i e t r :cto e aaains 3. kin as iseil lin m s r l e re tiall t lc tta y s I l ti ay . t lux ; ,but bit Borrow. did not tonsitkr it so, an I said that the egstairtatiob of Campbell could not be read against Mr. Smith. and dainiuid the petition wish costs. The question fur his Lordship to decide was eery simple. lie could not think there would be any dint, nee of opinion as to the law upon the subject; because of cour, he would admit that the principle was, that the attorney wail, not, liable to the messenger ; it was the petitioning creditor to whom the meastenrer a. to look for payment of his charges; Nit al. fh:itigltAbis tale was gene ally trite, vet it was not universally so. Cif* &roe. might occur to a ffix a liability on the attorney, and hecultist . d: pretesteras to partake of such ciicumstances, se as to. c rge Mr. Smith with the expenses incurred relative to tble con mission. Mr. Campbell was the stalling-horse of Mr. Smith, who in point of fact was the real lit:Mooing acciiter. The persons in this drama west Mr. Kent. a groat discounting man, through the medium of the hence of Howard and Gibbs. Ile was the chief porformer in the piece. He happened at that particular time to hold two hills, accepted by ilea ard and Gibbs her 10001. each, witch It was desirable to get discounted, but as he could not have conveniently issued the commission of bankrupt, he transferred , the b:lla to Mr. South. It would have been very , awkward fur that geittleuutr. 'to hire Issued the commission, an d have united tlic tan characters of petitioning. creditor and aoli,itor in one peorin, he thetefore west to Campbell, a surveyor and inc. 1 timer., and, under pretence of getting him to discount the Vas. so contrived to get his name introduced into the trans.' ac that when the bills were due and dishonoured, this Mr CampttU was bidecdiately used as the petitioning creditor ace , nat Howard and Gibbs. The Court. however, would not let its proms be so abused, but would ace the promicty of making this atturnog pay the messenger, when this pauper petitioning creditor shoreld be removed nut of the way. There were two propoeitions to be orasitlereil—tirst. was 3lr. Campbell the pauper whom he had 'pt. : limed hint to be ; and if be sere, was tl,h, a species of con. ',Wane* resorted to for the purpose lie had said it was ; if so, the angels, thus acting was bound to pay the messenger. With re gard to the Snit point, the j.eari.eil Gentleman read parts of the de. position of Mr. Campbell helve the Commissioners, by which it aggeared he was a person in interior circumstances at the time this Issnicaction took place, and not at all capable of advancing a sum of two thousand pounds bilk of exchange. In support of the swops - " that Smith ' the ." c mere contrivance len It is pan, the Leaned Gentled= said dist Campbell, in his examination, stated, that Smith called on Mtn, on the 27th of January, and asked whether lie could discount two bills of 1,00(11. each, which would be due on the 6th of February. Camp bell mid, he thought he could, but he was not quite certain , that he had not the money by him, but would apply to a Scales on the subject. Smith then said, Mr. Kent, the holder of the bills, was anxious to get the money, and that if he (Smith-) was sure that Campbell could procure it before the bills became due, he (intith) would advance him LOON. to enable him to discount one' of them, but that it was to be kept unknown that the money came from him. Accordingly, Mr. Smith kept OM of the bills, but tied not pa . , any money to Campbell, but went and paid it at once to Mr. Rent, so that no money had come From Campbell at all. This, however, was what the Court was required to consider se an advance made by him to Kent, On the morning of the 7th, Mr. Scales discounted the other bill, and Campbell paid the money user to Smith, but this was not the bill on which the cominiseieut was founded. The bills became due on the sante day, and Campbell went to Howard and Gibbs's office, where he found a crowd of tomes assembled, exclaiming that Howard and Gibbs had de. retard them of their money, and had fled. Campbell retetned to Smith, and the docket was Immediately steak. This statement had been admitted by Mr. Smith to be substantially true. He (Mr. Montagu) therefore. conceived, that if these facts were proved first, that Campbell was nothing but a pauper, and secondly, that Mr. Smith knew who and what he was, then the whole was ' [ nothing more than a mere contrivance, cW'ctrtl by a species of machinery. the most awkward he had ever heard of, for the put- IWISC of procuring a docket against that noted house, which Mr. Smith, no doabt; thought, would be a mom excellent Ming; but, if he were to have the sweets, he must also take the sours ; and lie (Mr. Montagu) conceived it was inelisptitable, that an officer of this Court, being the contriver of such a commission, might to pay the expenses which had been incurred by it. Ale. Holum, on behalf of Mr. Smith, said he was quite sure that If his client had heard his Learned Friend (Mr. Montagu) state that he was the principal actor in the drama of the bankruptcy of Hemel and Gibbs, he would be very much obliged to him, for he (Mr. Horne) believed Mr. Montagu to be, not only a great actor in this commission, but the very Rocha of bankruptcy. But to descend from the langusge of the buskin to that of common life. This petition was not so bold as the arguments of his LettruedFriend had been. The arguments had assumed Mr. Smith and Mr. Campbell as being cempletely identified, but the petition did not state any inch thir.g. It only prayed the Court to make an order upon Mr. Smith to pay the aseseesgerea bill. As ft/ as he could understand this 0144. there never was one with fewer facts to sup port the eloquence of his Learned Friend. How were the admit. aims of Mr. Smith to identify him with Mr. Campbell ir What wore the facts to prove this Identity ? His Learned Friend had not stated t 6 them. Ile had gone into a long scooted about Mr. Kent being an amateur in discounting bills, which had nothing whatever to do with the case. Ile submitted that there was no sort of identity shown to exist between Smith and Campbell. Ile apprehended it would be monstrous, in such a case as this, without any other fact to support it, to maintain that the admission of Mr. Smith constituted a proof of his being cegnizant of the circum stances of Campbell. It was Incumbent en the petitioner to prove that Mr. Smith had so identified himself with Mr. Campbell, as the petitioning creditor in this commission, that although the law said that the petitioning creditor was the only deldor of the Mee senger, yet that, in this case, the attorney should be so. The iden tity too was not confined to one single isolated transaction, but it ought to exist throughout the whole proceedings. Now, if his Learned Friend could make out that, he would have established his case, but if he did not prove to that extent, his case must fail. If the ease had rested only upon the petition, which contained no al legation of identity, it would not require a moment's consideration. His Learned Friend knew that there had been affidavits tiled, but he had not thought proper to refer to them but his Lordship might, and lie would there perceive that there was neither fraud nor collusion in the conduct of Mr. Smith, that that gcntle.nan had acted professionally and correctly in this matter, and if he did do so, there was sn end to this petition. Ile therefore hoped Ilia Lordship would consider the judgment of the-Vice-Chancellor to be correct. This was a sort of speculating petition on the part of sonic persona; but he was sure his Lordship would not let any prejudice operate on his mind from the circumstance that this affair happened to be connected with the names of ITeward and Gibbs, which was mentioned by his Learned Friend, with as [ emphasis that was obvious, but for what reason. he could not pos. sibly conceive ; it certainly was not required in the arguntent of his _ . . Mr. Tagstorg and Mr. KWTOIZT followed on the same side, and submitted that this was in point of fact subjecting Mr. Smith to a jecond trial, for a transaction on which his Lordship had al. ready decided ; for when the motion was made for superseding the commission, it was also moved for costs against Campbell and Smith ; but his Lordship, although he dismissed the commission, ' did not -consider the conduct of Mr. Smith at all censurable, and I would not order him to pay costs. It was rather a new proposition that the Solicitor should be a surety for his client. If such a law should he established, the effect would he, that no person who was poor would ever be able to recover a debt by striking a docket, in. asmuch as no Solicitor would undertake to do it for him, for fear of incurring a personal responsibility. Mr. HAUT (who was not in Court when the petition was open. od),replied. The Learned Gentleman on the other side seemed to have mistaken the arguments used in support of the petition. It bad not been stated that the solicitor undertook to insure to pay the messenger the petitioning creditor's debt ; he only stated that front the knowledge which 11r. Smith must have had of Mr. Campbell's circumstances, rendered him liable in this instance to pay the roes.l senger. His Lordship would do justice but by half treasures, if he permitted the Solicitor to escape merely by his client . Was an eel of this Court to be the sacrifice of the mistronduesof a Solicitor ? The sommission was superseded upon the ground that the petition. fog creditor's debt was a fabrication and a falsehood. illr. Smith was perfectly apprised of the circumstances of Campbell. The affair was rotten from the bottom to the top, and Mr. Smith bad fabricated the whole of it. The Loan CHAYCELLoa.—It is admitted on all hands that the messenger has no demand on the Solicitor as such ; there is, there. fore, no occasion to inquire whether there was any contract between them. But the question was, whether under the circumstances of this case the Solicitor ought to pay the costs of the messenger ? I am very ready to admit that this.Ceurt owes it to the suitors, to watch with jealousy the proceedings of Solicitors; but it must not be forgotten that the Court ought, at the seine time, also to give a fair protection to Solicitors from the conduct of the suitms. Indeed such a protection was for the benefit of the suitors themselves, for no Solicitor could think of undertaking the affairs of any person, upon condition, that if his judgment happened to differ from that of the Court on a matter of law, that then he shall have no demand on the suitor. Every Solicitor must be supposed to know, that fraud would obviate a commission, and therefore I should have no hesitation in making a Solicitor cognizant of such fraud responsible for the expenses incurred by it. I do not think it neccsrary to enter into the question, whether what a man admits to be true, as hr.% ing been said relating to himself, is evidence against himself, because that is so clear, that it cannot be disputed. But then the caution of the Vice Chancellor was quite proper, because the case does not the. Pend upon what was said in the petition, but in the whole of the depositions before the Commissioners. If you wish me look lA° the examinations again I will do so, but if you do not I ant pre pared to say, that I do not consider this a case where I ought to make the solieiter pay the costs to the messenger. Ido not take noon myself to decide with what wisdom 11r. Smith acted on this occasion, but whether or not. his conduct was culpable. The Court ruse at three o'clock.

At the Cumberland Assizes, last week, one John Wilson was indicted for stealing two sheep ; to this indictment he pleaded guilty. The learned and humane Judtte (Bayley), as usual, advised him to put himself on his trial and plead rot guilty.

A v. • POLICE. .—...., MAgslow-Houir, Aua. 17.—A great number of the enemies of cruelty to animals have written to the Loin Maxon, corn. plaining of the condition to which the cattle sere said to be reduced in Smithfield-market for litany hours in the day, in consequence of the want of water and other refreshment. His Lordship, in order to remedy the evil, if it existed, sent to several of the most respect. ulde butchers and salesmen to ascertain the facts, and whether any regulation might be effective in case the evil existed. It had been represented by letter to his Lordship, that poor beasts had been i seen In great agony in the m ar ket in consequence or the excessive thirst and fatigue which they were compelled to endure, in the ex treme heat of the weather particularly ; and his Lordship's corrc. spondents suggested the erection of troughs of water in different Parts of the market for the benefit of the cattle brought in for sale. fhie they thought the more necessary,as upwards of 3000 were tied up from a very early hoer in the morning until the sales, which were in many instances delayed, were made. This day the butchers and salesmen waited upon his Lordship, I who, after mentioning to them the cause of complaint, asked whether' I it would not be practicable to have a sort of conduit for the supply of the animals brought to market. They replied, that any regula. tion of the kind could never be accomplished. The market was already so excessively crowded, that any plan which would dimi nish us size would be completely an impediment to business, which was even now greatly obstructed. They had heard it said that the meat must sutler a considerable deterioration in consequence of the went of water experienced by the cattle during the market-day. This they unanimously declared they had never found to be the case, eves during the present hot weather. The cat:ie were generally well fed on the night before they were taken to market, and they were also well treated as soon as they were taken to the slaughter hnase. It was in fact impnident, In a politic sense, to treat them with harshness, as it was well known that the meat was not bettered by exhausting the animal. The decision come to, therefore, amongst the Smithfield dealers was, tint' his Lordship's proposi. tion was imptartieable, and that even if it were practicable, there would be no utility in adopting it.

Ths Commissioners had also blinded to avit sworn in Cluvicery by the bankrupt on the '9.:h of January, 11825, contrasting parts of that affidavit with some' of the answers arising oat of the examination, and yet no part of that affidavit had been set forth in the commitment; therefose its that respect also the commitment was considered irregular. His LOTIDSUIr said, regard being had to the manlier in whicit the questions bad been put, and the way in which they hall 'M.7I answered, he was clearly of opinion the commitment was not de- fective • and so with respect to the affidavit, from the manner it had been referred to in the examination, and, looking at the way in which the reference had been answered, the Court was as dearly of aciditt that the objection could not be sustained.

ESCAPES FROM PRISON. A ash! ____ young —.a was brought up .... charge entered in the books of Covert-gartien watch-houseWS night. The watchman stated, that at twelve o'clock last night the pri soner was standing in King-street, Covent-garden, talking toe Frenchwoman. There was a crowd et' women about him, and be desired him to move on. The young man refusing to obey, he took him to the watch-house. The constable of the night said, when the charge was brought in he was disposed to treat it as one of a trivial nature. The pd. toner, however, declared that the watchman had exceeded his duty, and he would have him disch a r ge d thi s morning , as he had lately caused to be done in a similar case. It was in compliance with his own wish that he had locked him up, .and now brought him to the office. Mr. 1111:t8stuLL—What have you Pay to this, Sir? Prisoner—l merely told the watchman that I thought I had a right to stand still, and spotlit to an one. I persisted In stating my right to that al:et, and he imme diately sprung his rattle, and had me dragged to the watch house.

I conceived that it was the right of every one to stand in the streets it he had business of any kind ; and that n man ought not to be di egged through the streets to the watch-house fur merely speaking to an acquaintance. Mr. 31 ziestut; Li. and Sir R. Biltxtz here informed the prisoner that the watchman had full power to order him to go on if he thought proper, and to take him into custody if he did not obey. It was for that purpose they were stationed in the streets. Riotous as semblies might be made in the streets at night if this were not the case. The young gentleman was further informed, that the watch man had denit very leniently with him. The young man appeared to dissent from this doctrine, and was again admonished to be careful of his behaviour. He wu required to put in bail to gnawer the offence at the Sessions. Mr. AIINSMILL seemed to be of opinion that his own recogni. lances would be sc.ficient Sir It. Binste—l know what I sho uld do in such a case.

A gun-maker appeared before the Illagistrates this morning. to answer a *arrant for an assault, taken out against him by his wife. The complainant, a very decent woman, bearing an infant in her arms, with two line children holding by her gown, stated h e r c ase . She ;aid that her Ituaband's =duct had of late become so had. that she was unable to bear with it any longer. The other morning be came home at one o'clock, wheu the was in bed, and renewed his ill treatment, till she was obliged to take refuge from his blows by bursting open the door of the bedroom, and rushing down stairs, where she was protected from further violence by her Landlady and the lodgers. The landlady corroborated tills testimony, and said, that when ehe paw the complainant coming out of her room, she was covered with blood. Tite husband, in answer to this charge, admitted the assault, but said, as he had no wish to expose his wife, conduct, he would not enter into any justification. AIL Mlles HV T. L—You have nothing to say against your wife, I due say, and you should not therefore make insinuations. Yo seem to take good care of your children, both PS to their food and rui. ment ; why can you not behave better to their mother ? The man said he was able, thank God, to pry well for the keep of his children and his wife; but he repeived he had had provoca. tion enough for what he had done. lis only went out on Monday night, after the labour of the day, and his w ife charged him with meeting two women at the corner of the street. Mr. Mutant: Lt.—Mt, I suppose titers is jealousy in tl.e case. The wife, here bursting into tears, declared that the accusations which her husband brought against her were quite insupportable to an innocent woman.

Parkinson, en ex tensive soap-boiler and tallow-chandler, residing at Brentfurd, ap pesred at this odic°. before Mr. Dyte and Mr. ROE, llagistrates, to answer au information laid against bins at the instance of the Commissioners of Excise, for nviecting to pay a certain amount of t h ey ou a certain day tiaLajosete, on which it became pay. able according to /he Act of Parliament, and thereby incurring a penalty amounting to 2GW. It appeared from hlr. Parkinson's atmoment, which was ad. mitted to be true, that on the day on which this duty became pay. able ht sent a check upon his banker in London, for the amount, to the collector at Brentiord ; but that person thought proper to refuse accepting the check, and said the amount must be paid in money before two o'clock that day, on an information would be laid against him. Mr. Parkinson represented the impossibility of sentitng to his banker's for the money and baring the messenger back by two o'clock, but that as soon in the day as the messenger did return the amount should be paid. The roesseoger was despatched to town with the check, and re,urned about three o'clock to lirentford, hay ing made all possi bid haste, and At that :tour the wtoney wan ten dered to the ccllector, hut he roused to accept it. It was also ten dered on the rest day, but it was also then refused, and the come quence was, that the infamuujott was hdd against him. life. Parkinson said he was aware that a check on a banker was not a legal tender, but for theism twenty years his establishment, whit% has paid large sums duty to thssLecise in the year, never paid In any other way but by a check oat their banker, which was never re. fused Intore this time. The Magistrates said, that this might he very true, and might certainly have boen sufficient to lead lilt. Parkinson into the erect he had fallen; but the Excise Officer was, notwithstanding, it) point of strictness, justified in layiag the ioformarion i but then it warfor the Magistrate to decideou the case according to IN merits g and, from what row app,aret'., they could not think of indicting any penalty on Mr. Parkinson, but merely ordered him to pay the tens. • The costs were stated by the Excise Officcre to . amount to 30s. I, e exorbitant, On Saturday week, a horse-dealer of the name of Joshua Cade, living in Spring-row, on the Beverley road, was taken into custody, by Mr. Lee, one of the constables of Hull, and keepet of the House of Correction. We understand two separate offences were imputed to hint —one, the stealing of a horse from the neighbour hood of Pocklingtoo, which he had left on sale with a blacksmith, near Stockton ; and the other, the stealing of a horse from Coatham, near the latter place, with which he returned to that neighbourhood, and which he sold to his own brother!—Cade was apprehended late in the evening, and was placed by Mr. Lee, in what had always been considered one of the most secure cells, near the top of the prison. It now appears, that there was a want of caution in the erection of this building. The roof is flagged, but the upper part of the cell is merely laths aad plaster. Through this the prisoner easily made his way among the rafters, and then, by removing a flag or two, gained the top of the gaol, which is about 30 feet high. To facilitate his descent. he took his bedding, two blankets, and two rugs, and having tied them together, fastened one extremity to a hold-fast, whiz!) happened to be left in the wall, and, it is supposed; held by the other. This contrivance. however, would not enable him to reach above half way to the ground ; and as the piece affixed to the holdfase appears to have given way near the top, it is pre sumed he fell considerably more than that distance. One of the ghbours, about three in the morning, was awaked by the noise, heard aloud groaning, but supposing it to proceed from some man, took no further notice of the ci , eunistance. The were found by a watchman, soon after, not far from the , but his suspicions were not excited, and he did not comma : the fact tili the man was missed. The blankets were very Jdy, and a large quantity of blood was also found on the spot, that it is supposed he has sustained considerable inju. .Not slightest trace of the fugitive has sicce been discovered.—York rat. Saturday afternooh, about half-past three, eight convicts their cscapeprorn the Caltonhill gaol, Edinburgh, in the fol. ng manner :—One of them called to a turnkey to take out a bundle of clothes to wash, and contrary to the gaol orders not to open the airing ground gate except when tau turnkeys arc present, he opened the gate for the clothes, when he was instantly knocked down, and the whole eight ran along the centre passage, the inner barrier gate being also open, contrary to rule. When they got to the outer gate, they knocked down the turnkey stationed there, took his keys from him, and opening the wicket, got off. They were almost immediately pursued, and five of them were kept in view for some time, but were lost sight of among the lanes near the Gib bet-toll. None of them had been got at a late hour last night. The following are the names of those who escaped : James Mitchell, sentence of death. transmuted to transportation for life ; John Shalpe, ditto ; Walter Broomfield, seven years ; Henry Gunn, for life ; Alexander M'Farlane, fourteen years ; Alexander Mackay, seven years ; Robert Smith, fourteen years; Thomas Tomlinson, ditto.—John Murray. for life, was in the place from whence thy made their escape, but did not accompany them. —C'uledwrian Mercury. A ROSTISII MIZACLE.—In Miss Baillie's History of a Residence in Lisbon, we find the following instance of gross ignorance and superstition : " In proof of the gross superstition of the lower classes, I will relate a circumstance that has just occurred, and which occasions an excitement and interest in Lisbon which are almost incredible. At the distance of a few miles from hence is a mule field, in which a peastat boy was chasing a rabbit ; the animal crept into an aperture in the side of a bank, closely followed by a dog : the boy, surpried to find that the latter did not return, determined to ascertain what had happened to prevent it, and, accordingly, groped his way into the bank, through th e same narrow entrance; what was his astonishment on finding himself in a sort of cave, or hermitage, at the upper end of which he beheld an image of the Virgin 1 The discovery was soon made public, and the miracles affirmed to be worked by this image go on daily increasing ; all ranks of persons are hastening to the spot and it is asserted, among other popular tales, that when the boy first entered the cave, he found both the rabbit and dog upon their knees, in devout adoration of the image. A few days after the opening of the shrine, this treasure unac. countably disappeared, and an active search immediately coin. manned, which was happily terminated in the following manner A peasant was ploughing in the neighbouring fields, when sud. denly the oxen stood still, nor would the sharpest application of the goad induce them to move ; the peasant, after vainly puzzling himself to account for their obstinacy, chanced to cast his eyes upon a tree overhead, whereon hang the identical image, for whose recovery all hearts were anxions. No sooner had he beheld the phenomenon, than the animals began to turn round and round the tree, in mystic dance, and completed the ceremony by falling upon their knees like the rabbit and dog l" A Dutch Jew, named S.amuel Bonduy, lately died at Amsterdam, leaving funds to build and equip six ships of the line of 74 guns each: there were found in his house 4t casks full of coins of all the Princes in the world. A Irnonth was occupied in taking out and arranging these coins, anti eight days in counting them. This man had I for a long time followed the atinies of France, visited all Europe, Africa, and America, and some of the establish ments of Asia. He was 96 years of age. Joe Miller is said to have been the proprietor of the principal booths at May Fair and Bartholomew Fair, and, acting the droll, became a universal favourite with the public, from which circumstance Colonel Motley prefixed his name as the ostensible editor of the collection of jests gathered by himself, anti which arc to this day the classi cal standard with all punsters. • The hail-storms and torrents of rain have dcne great injury this summer in several provinces in the interior of the Russian empire ; the district of Sengiley, in the go •veniment of Simbersk, in particular, suffered very severely on the Ist June.' A German Paper states that the drought has so dimi• nished the water of one of the arms of the 111, at the village of Elil, near Betideld, on the ancient site of a Roman town, that the bed of it can be dug up.

Of the winter of 1651-8, Evelyn remarks, that it was the severest that any man alive had known in England. " Thr., crowes feete," be adds, " were frozen to their prev." The Manchester Dfereury save, " The assizes are ex pected to he gayer than they have been for many years past. There are upwards of forty prisoners for trial, among whom are sir for murder." Yesterday morning, a dog, supposed to be mad, was killed in St. Clement's Church-yard, by W. Nesbitt, the street-keeper: in killing him, the keeper had his stick bitten in hall by the dog, who was very ferocious. By a Brussels paper received last week it appears that a journeyman baker had obtained in the Vienna Lottery the grand prize of 120,000 franks. This may sound high in the German states, but our friend Carroll, the present Lottery Contractor, has managed much better for English adventtuers, having in his scheme no less than four prizes of 23,000/., equal to six hundred thousand francs each, with many other capitals and prizes, formiqg a grand total exceeding five millions of francs, and which will he elistri buted in sterling English money on Wednesday, Slst this month, August.
