This superior species is a native of Africa, though sometimes met with in the Mediterranean and North- Seas.

A German, named Schmitz, was brought before the Loan hi iroa, charged with having 'obeyed Mr. Rothschild, repeatedly in Bartholomew-lane. The street-beeper stated, that the defendant called frequently at the offiee of Mr. Rothschild, in order *obtain from that gentleman what it was not in his power to give, a pass to Manchester. When told that Mr. Rothschild bad no authority to pass any person to any place, except- the country pr which he was Constii, he became importunate for money, and ~Bards abusive. Mr. Rothschild gave him, upon two occasions= which they met at the office, some silver. and assured him of the nature of the benefit, to confer which his power was Ibnited,•bet the defendant was not to be put 6ff by this assurance, and upon one emotion laid his hands upon Mr. Rothschild. as'if determined tedrompel assistance. Mr. Rothschild *llo'6lllook no notice of this eager familiarity, but one of the ,lbe duke desired the street-keeper, if be saw Achults again about the Plkilllies, for the purpose of demanding relief, to take him into custody, and charge him berme the Lord Mayor, in order that the business of -the house might sage no farther interruption. The defendant rot being to be persuaded to conduct himself with de. y, and having again exiled, and desired to have an interview with Mr. Rothschild, and no one but Mr. Rothschild, the stmt. Weeper apprehended him, according to the direction, but not, he believed, with the knowledge of the gentleman who had been persecuted- The defendant said be had been 27 yeses in England, and that he had served in the American war under the most renowned of out Admirals, up to the disastrous period of the British hostilities across the Atlantic; that he was lo ettretne distress, and had. re solved to go, if be could, to Manchester, where he had a brother in good circumstances as a watchmaker ; that he had applied to the Consul for a pass, well knowing his power to grant it, as it was known he was able to do every thing ; and that in taking hold of Mr. Rothschild l he merely meant to convince him of the necessity there was for doing all in his power to disposed him to the best advantage ; that Mr. Rothschild made no complaint himself of this liberty, and that nobody else had a right to say a, word about what ~, Rothschild did nor -- - - s LORD M approach - J Nelson perceived that two - fishermen veers loitering near his house to watch, he had no doubt, hilt motions, and be judged that sortie thing wrong wan going forward. He sent for Rough, his deputy, who looks more like a tailor than a water-bailiff, and directed him to man a boat, at d get as quietly as he could amongst the flounder. catchers below bridge. All those fishermen were using lawful nets, and Rough, who Is beginning to rival his master, prevailed upon them to assist him in surprising the white bait catchers, farther down in the river, aware that there had been a disagreement be tween the two parties. Assitned by this powerful addition to his strength, Rough bore down upon a whole fleet of `. unlawfuls," in Bogsby's Hole, at midnight, and boarded them with a gallant spirit. The most terrific oaths were sworn, and eight nets were seized in a moment. The defendants misted as soon as they re. covered from the first fright, and out away several of the nets ; but the grappling irons were successfully used, and the victorious partp, after this very dangerous encounter, rowed off with their capture triumph, amidst the hooting' and curses of the detested. All the defendants pleaded poverty, which, from whatever cue It might arise, wan sufficiently manifest. They attributed It to the ruined state of the fishery, in consequence of the gas water, the 'steam boats, and the general bad state of the water. The Loan ,31 AY oR was convinced that the decrease of the quan. tit, of fish in the riser arose from this mode of fishing, by which so mach spews was destroyed. He remembered, not many yeart ago, rtbe pow or Kingston were supplied with fish from the Thames, but "oft obey could not get it, in consequence of the destruction' occa sioned by the demand for white bait. The whole of the nets were eandeenned, hut, in coneibaration of the poverty of the defendants, be remitted the penalties. GUILDHALL- George Winoey was yesterday charged by Mr. A. Atkins, land lord of the Ben Johnson public-house, Shoe-lane, with being found in his bar, and at his till.

The constable, after the mi.

The constable then went to their lodg ings, 42, Silver street, Golden-square, and found that the cellar. man had not b-en there ;he then wept to Bond.strtet, and learned that he had been there with the wine.

HATTON GARDEN. Richard Balky, a journeyman shoemaker, was yesterday brought ' up for the purpose of showing cause why be , the said Mr. Bailey, persisted in billetting himself as an out-dweller upon several of the most respectable inhabitants of SafEron.hill, without their leave and permission first hail and obtained. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Watson, whose occupation it is to guard the nightly slumbers of the ward, that for many even ings past he has seen the defendant reposing within the recesses of different door-ways, aud even under the archways of courts. &c. At twelve o'clock there lay the cobbler, at one &clock there reclined the cobbler, and at two he was again compelled to exclaim, like a classical watchman as he iv, erre iternin crispines although on all these several occasions he constantly poked hint with his staff, and ordered hint to go about his butiness. lilt. Bailey listened to this recapitulation of his various acts of somnolency with the greatest saw; fraid, not deigning a reply till the Magistrate's question, " How he could account for such strange conduct ?', he vouchsafed to answer in a tone of great inde pendence, " I likes the night hair." The declaration of so Lin guist a perfrhant, however, not proving altogether satisfactory to his Worship, he was sent to correct his taste in the comparatively confined atmosphere of the House of Correction. - 111 A li 1MOROI:0 H-STRE F.T. IVnt. Appleton, a baker, late in the errs ire of Mr. Ward. of Glasshouse-street, who has been a considerable time in comedy, having undergone several examinations, on a charge of stealing a banker's check for 13.7./. from the shop of Mr. Gobbey, a tailor, in Regent-street, was again brought up, and again examined. The evidence against the prisoner hitherto has been, that he was in the shop of Mr. Clubbey, and had quitted it a few minutes be fore the check was missed, and that the prisoner acknowledged that he had found a check for same money in the street, but said that he had destroyed it, and thrown it away. It Also appeared that the prisoner, about that time, had an unusual command of mo ney ; but although the check was presented and paid at the bank ing.house of Messrs. Pape, Smith, and Co. on whom it was drown, vet the clerk had no recollection of the person to whom the amount was paid. Yesterday Mr. DMZ% an Argent in the City, attended, and opted that the check in question, the same row produced, was shun by him on Messrs.

The whole of the evidence was then read over by the Clerk, and the prisoner, who declined saying any thing, was committed for trial. Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of the prisoner. WORSHIP-STREET. • Duos,' STORIES.—JAR Capon, of N 0.15, King-street, Drury. lane; Thomas Jones, occupying the " three-pair back mom" of the same tenement ; and John Arnold, of No. 7, Tilonmontb-street, I three wandering melodist', were brought before Mr. Twwiroars. by Gooding, a conductor of Bow - street patrol, on the complaint ed Mr. Wrightson, a gentleman of considerable property residitiodn Bethnal-green„ to whose especial annoyance they were contributing on Tuesday evening, by their professional exertions, in selling its his immediate neighbourhood the following " full, true, and par ticular account of a strange and extraordinary ghost," which is said to have made his house the scene of its vagaries:— ' "STRANGE AIM EXTRAORDINARY GHOST IN BETHNAL GREEN-ROAM—The house of a respectable gentleman, near the ' Salmon and Ball, in the Bethnal-green-road, has for the last Month excited the greatest consternation in the neighbourhood, by a report that the ghost of a female is to be seen every night between eleven and one, and which DRS drawn immense multitudes together to witness this singular personage. Report states that the bells in the house and the knocker at the doer are continually in motion I during the above time, and such has been the harassed state of the inmates of the house, that they have been compelled to guard the hies. Whatever may be the cause of this nocturnal visiter disturbing the h inhs . bitants i of this quartet we arc at a loss to ta m en xi je h c a tr : 0 , m a e lt c h o o n u v l m i t t io i n s state d that s a t ito a s li ts e h v i . p, Divine has attended , but n ot suflicietto fathom the cause of her disquietude. Many conjectures are formed, and many who have witnessed this strange proceeding form their own idea ; but we trust ere long, by the assistance of the pious in. ‘tiCi dividual, to unravel this business, and lay before our friends the real cause of this unexpected and sudden alarm." This elegant production of the far-famed manufacturer of bal. lads and wonderful stories in Great St. Andrew's-street, Seven Dials, the three prisoners were recommending to the notice of the public, with the addition from the stores of their own imaginations of some interesting particulars about three ladies who were thrown into fits at die appearance of the ghost, and the pence were tumbling into their pockets thick and fast, when they met with a disagreeable customer ' in the person of Gooding, the caner, who possessed himself of their whole stock in trade, without paying them for it, and procured them a night's lodging in the watch. house, preparatory to their introduction to the Magistrate yes terda.

Gordon' , -- stated that the d DREADFUL MURDER. A murder, unequalled for atrocity by any that has taker place in this neighbourhood, since the oneat Pendl e t oo, April, 1317, was committed in the vicinity of Bar?. Ga . " Saturday night last, and has created general horror es consternation in that neighbourhood. lt tweets, from t h e accounts we have heard of this dreadful affair , that Sr. man, whose name we have not been able to learn, and b a wife, who was also advanced in years, lived at Dirtles-cum. Bamford, on the road between Bury and Rochdale. o n Saturday night last a neighbour, who bad been reading t, the aged couple, left them about half-past ten o'clock, at which time the woman was preparing to retire to rest, and had loosened part of her dress for that purpose. Of w h at occurred afterwards nothing is known, except from the when it was discovered that they wer e b ot h Ea. ca consequences which presented themselves on the S unday i v murdered. ng, The man was found sitting in his chair, with Ins skull dreadfully fractured, and it appeared, from the situation in which he and his wife were discovered, that whilst the murderers had been doing their bloody work upon him, she had endeavoured to save hie life, for she was found with ber arms clasped round his neck, and h er head beaten almost to pieces. The murder appeared t o have been effected by means of an old shovel and a poker, which the murderers had met with on the premises, a c d which they left behind them in the house. Of the ea* et time at which this dreadful crime was committed, nothing is known ; but there is strong reason to suppose that it was very soon after the neighbour quitted the house, for the woman's dress in the morning was in the same state in which it was at that time ; and it is not at ell unlikely this; the murderers had watched the neighbour leave the house, and then rushed in, and effected their purpose. If the ob. ject of the villains was plunder, as there is every reason t o suppose, they were completely disappointed ; for, no far u can be ascertained, no property whatever was Nissing fro m the house. The old man was the owner of several cottag e' , the rents of which, it is conjectured, the murderers calm. lated on finding in the house, supposing, probably, that he would have received them on the Saturday. It happened, however, we learn, that he had not teceived any of them, and it is believed that no money, or, at the utmost, s ve r y small sum, fell into their hands. From the mode in which the murder was committed, it is highly probable that the parties who perpetrated it carry away with them some math of the bloody work in whick they had been engaged ; so d we have been informed that three persons, who are known, were seen, on Sunday morning, passing through Heywood, sprinkled with blood, and were traced from thence to this town, where, no doubt, a very active 100k -out will be kept for them.—Manchelfer Arlve,tiser. ATROCIOUS MURDER.—The corner house in MOURtisy. square, adjoining Great Charles-street, Dublin, (the fatni:v being in the country), was left in the care of a decent (o:;1 woman. A female acquatntance, who was in the habit of calling to see her every Sunday, went yesterday morning to pay her usual visit. After knocking in vain at the hall door, she made her way through the parlour window, which was open, and upon reaching the apartment of the old woman, she found her dead, with evident marks of strangulation. It is not easy to conceive what could have prorated the persona, who must have entered the house b!, the window, to the perpetration of the sited, as there was noting of value in the house, or in the possession of the unfortunate woman, to excite their cupidity.—D4.l.l Morning Registir. ~, EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.—During a thunder storm, which took place on the 31st August, in Kingston, New Hampshire, a large elm tree, standing before the house of Dr. Levi Bartlett, was struck by lightning, and split down wards through the heart; it passed iTom the tree to the chimney at. the south part of the house, which was shat tered in such a manner that it will be necessary to take the chimney dawn. •It entered a closet in the second scary, which conlgoed many newspapers end other combustible articles, and set them on fire. The house was fired in several other places, but fortunately a person in the cham ber discovered it in season to be extinguished before it had made much progress. Dr. Bartlett, his wife, and one other woman, were thrown senseless upon the floor; tl:e ladies, however, soon recovered considerably ; but the doctor •was supposed to be dead for some time—he is now in a very feeble state. A watch hanging over the chimney piece was thrown across the room, anil, when first dis covered, was red with heat ; the case and chain were melted considerably. There is a lightning rod upon the north red of the house, within a short distance of the tree that was struck.—Artierican Paper.

About the beginning of the year 1807, Ads ex traordinarY imposter lived at Tutbury, a village in Staf fordshire, when ahe first excited public attention by de claring that she lived without food; and having offeied to prove the truth of her assertion by submitting. to be watched for a considerable time, she was at last detecteil in her imposture by a professional gentleman ofthe name of Fox, who discovered that her dairgbtor wapiti the habit of conveying her food daily, and concealing it under the bed-clothes..3face/eyietil Courier. WASH-I-EATHER UNDER Watirepars.--In several instances the beat effects have occurred frorp wearing wash ing leather over flannel, as a preservative against the cot sequences of those exposures to which all are, more or less, liable.

He bad been seen by the guard of the SlougL wawa, who passed him at Cranford-bridge , he was then alive, and quite sober, and was riding in the front of the waggon.

Chapman and Delehunt were about to get out, but the deceased asked Delahunt to swim at his side and accompany him over to the other side of the Canal, which he complied with, and when they had arrived on the other side, they both stood up close to the towing-path, and rested ; DeJuhunt perceiving a barge coming down the Canal, towed by a horse, was desirous of getting back to the tiller side, to avoid the barge and the towing-rope to which the horse was attached to the barge, and said to the deceased, " Can you swim back ?" he made no reply but darted into the wa- I ter to swim to the opposite shore. Delahunt did the same, and when they had reached the middle of the Canal, the deceased cried out, " Lend me your band ;" and he answered, " Stnke out." The deemed made several grasps to catch hold of him, but he was afraid to go near to him, and swain to the shore as fast be could, and having arrived there, he looked for the deceased, but could only see one of his hands above the water ; the barge coming up. the men in it threw out a rope, which the deceased did not catch hold tit', but shortly after sunk out of sight.
