Tut atwia V. cstetiernmernsow. leis was an information tiled by the Attotney4 ;ennui against the defendant, for leaving in a (benign country certain British seamen, hiredtby him upon a voyage from Maryport, in (motherland, to Renilgonehe, in North America, and back, contrary to the statutes 3 William 111. and 58 (leo. 111. Mr. (Irwin , (with whom was Mr. Twisst stated the case for the prosecution. The Learned Counsel called the attention of the (bort to the policy of the matte upon which the inforniatimi war founded, the object of which was to discourage piracy, by protn. biting captain' of vessels, under certain penalties. from leaving hoed seamen in foreign countries, and thereby exposing them to the necessity of resorting to a predatory mode of living, to ilk great prejudice - of maritime commerce. The case he had to sub- Manuate against . the defendant was in substance this :—The defers.' dant was captain of a vessel belonging to Maryport, in Comber hind .in 18 he hired as part of his crew four seamen, named Stevenson, Patterson, Windsor. and Collier, to sail on a coma from that port toe place called Restigouche, in the Bay of ('ha. Rao, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, North America, situate between Canada and New Brunswick, there to take in a cargo of timber, and bring them hack to the place of their departure. After the sail had taken in *her cargo at Restigoucht, the seamen named discovered, about the 10th of November, that it was the Captain's intention to leave than on shore. he having, in fact, hired other seamen in their stead. They remonstrated with him upon the cruelty of his conduct, and expressed a hope that he would not leave nem in so inhospitable and desolate a place, front which they might probably never return. It appeared, that in conic. Queer of the inclemency of the weather, and the labour of load ing the versel, the men hod complained that they had not had a afficient allowance of spiritous liquors, so necessary to the pre. sewatioo.of their health and activity. This, probably, would he =urged on the pan of the defendant as an apology for the Imbed adopted; but supposing the men hail been urgent few soots indulgence In this particular, still it would be no excuse to Ste defendant in point of law. The defendant was inexorabll, and his determination of leaving them on shore. lie eso rased a boat out, put the men into it , and he himself steered a desolate part of the shore, and there they were landed *khan provisions, .ele any other means of subsistence. It rar a Om their clothes werwlielivered to them, and one of them being a carpenter was penalise:lM have his tool chest. At the spot, and Minn many miles of it, where they were landed, there was no trace of human habitation, or any prospect of obtaining motection satinet the inclemency of the weather, ur of preventing absolute animation. The weather was-frosty when they were landed, and In a day or two afterwards' It 'begun to rain. In this thstressing situation they attempted to build themselves a kind of shed with The branches of trees, but it was so frail as to be insufficient to keep out the rain. in order to prevent them from perishing with Fold they kept up fires night and day. But. independently of the inclemency of the 'weather, their lives were in great peril from the numerous hews-and other wild beasts with which the woods were • intutbited. For several days the only food they bad was a few potatoes. which the humanity of some woodmutiers provided them with. The situation in which they were was in a remote part of I: l 4 l eur Bay, at least fifty miles from its mouth, where vessels Were usually loaded. At the end of about three days, the car. porter, - by parting with Iris toolmhest, was - enabled to procure a best to carry Cowell and his wretched esotpanions to the place where eessels usually loaded. In this voyage they encountered every peril and difficulty to which human' astute could be exposed, and at last, d.rough the province of God, they were taken up by the very lot vessel which quitted those innospitable regions, and which happened to have been accidentally stranded. But for this almost-miraculous interposition these unhappy men must have perished inr.itably. 'Without food, covering, or those comforts no necesary for the preservation of humeri life through a Canadian winter, it was impaisible they could have survived. Fortunately 'they remind Engd, and laid their ease before the Locals of the Admiralty. After due investigation . of the case, the Lords of the Admiralty felt-thernselves-bound to institute this proceeding; for -though the attention of that Board was snore immediately directed to the Royal Navy; yet, inasmuch as that navy was manned by maim brought up in the merchant service, they considered these unfortunate tellows as much entitled to their protection as if they were in the pay of the Crown. Wow defence could be suggested it would be difficult to conjecture. It was understood that - the defendant meant 'to insist that the men voluntailly remained be *hind; nay, that they insisted upon beincleft abaft. Such a defence was utterly inconsistent with the facts, and as little con sistent with probability. In the first place, the defendant himself had tamed the boat which left them ashore, which it was nut 'likely he would have done if he was unwilling they should quit his ship; and in the second, it was inconsistent with all probability that these poor fellows would choose, of their own accord, to ex. pose themselves, without food, clothing, or shelter, to the immi. tient peril of destruction. T. Collier deposed that he was a native of Maryport. and entered en hoard the defendant's-vessel with the three other men already meet nand, en a voyage to Restigonche , for timber, and back. They completed their cargo on Sunday the 10th of November. Hearing that ;h: defendant had shipped three other men in their room, they went aft and demanded what he meant ? The Captain said to them, "Do you mean to do your duty, or go ashore ?" They said they meant to do their duty. The defendant was asked by Windsor for his wages. The defendant-said he should have none, sad added, "before I shall be bothered with you any more, I'll work the akin off my fingers." lie then said, " You shall all go ashore immediately; I shall have nothing more to do with you." On the Monday morning the defendant ordered the boat out, and all four were put on board. The Captain ordered the rest of the crew to give three cheers, and promised them a gallon of rum, which was accordingly distributed to the crew. The boat then put , off, the defendant steering them. The witnes s requested that tie) might be put ashore at a spot where the wood was cleared. and where a house was built. The defendant made no answer, but steered the boat in a contrary direction, and they were landed at a ' place covered with wood, without any food or liquor. They built a sort of tent of the branches of trees, and lighted a fire. It was frosty when they were landed, but it soon began to rain, and their tent afforded them no sufficient shelter. Where they were I inded, was fifty miles from the mouth of the bay, where ships take .r. their loading. There was nothing but wood abort them. No habitations .or natives. There were plenty of wild beasts. The only food they got was a few potatoes front some woodcutters who were felling timber. They afterwards got down to a place where a :tassel had got a-ground, and they were taken in. The witness on. -der went a long cross-esamination by Mr. Brougham, in rite EMU'Se a winch he positively denied having gone on shore voluntary, or havingst any previous time entered into an engagement with any otberCat • to return home. Ile admitted that he did not see anyeNdteases, but be had heard talk - of them. . Stevenson sailed en beard the ship in question with the de. *fendatit—he was before the mast, and hts wages were U. a month.' HI was left rot shore as described by the last witness. 'lie. Onnwer said he did rot think it necessary to arm this •witness through the same story which bad been told by Collier. Ifis testimony would be precisely the same. - - In crow-examination, witness said he had been on shore en Sun. .day, the 8,1 of November, which was the Sanity previous to his' ucang left. The Captain charged him ss. for being on shore that .orsa sight. Ile returned to the ship on the Monday. Ile never proposed to work for the people on shore. He had not packed up ms clWhes previous to the Captain ordering him en &ore. Ile rover refused to do his duty in the Arita, nor did he my he would wiser relent te the voisel. Ile never said he quitted the vessel voluntarily, nor did he ever speak to the Captain after he was landed. He knew a Captain Chant, but never made any proposal logo en board his dated. He received his wages up te the titnahe was put on shore. . T. Patterson another of the men, prated that he was an English man, was mar ried, and had three anises. He was carried on lea-d the Trafalgar. On the 11th of November he was put on shore by the Captain at the place mentioned. Collier, Stevenson, end Windsor were with hint. In amiss examination, whams said, he had quitted one of his 'Modesty's ships, but he never left a merchant vessel celled the Opus. Tun was the ease for dm prosecution. Mr. OW/COHAN then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He thought, he said, they would agree with him in thinking. that the wary they had heard assume of the tairit unlikely that coati be told. Was it possible, that any Captain whia considered ten men oats- airy so navigate-his easel saws the Alldyt t c,.would have the folly .44 issire four of the best of those men on asst, and risk the perils of the sea, at a dangerous time of the ymir, with the remaining six, • Wir)eet to all the casualties of bad weather and sickness ? The .soggentien wee so preposterous, as scarce to admit of a moment's • .eanaideretum. It was clear, these men had been in the habit of losaring the ship at their own pleasure, and that the desertion of *hitch they complained had been sought by themselves. They .did not cheese to submit to the strict dis cipline of the ship in which Arse were enraged, and in the hope cf getting employment else. where, had thought proper to absent theme:lves front their duty omboard the Trafalgar. • The Lon o CRIEE JUSTICE, in summing up the evidence, said. The only question for the consideration of the Jury was, whe ther the three per.sons they had beard examined, had bee, guilty •01l wilful and corrupt perjury. Not a single statement that they had made had heel. contradicted, although there were six other SCA. WWII SO board at the time they were taken on shore; and, indeed, it -- old net seem very likely that the men would have voluntarily strained the ship at such a season of the year, and in a climate so .inclement, without provisions, or any of those other necessaries Is. itsiq.ite to sustaic life.. 'he Jury, witlicut hesitation, found the defendant—Guilty. ~eavota v. IIElt• This was an action of trespass. for driving a gig against a man of the plaimff, whereby she was killed. Mr. DIARATATT and Mr. E. Lawns conducted the plaintiff's case—and Mr. SC AIILETT and Mr. Titissicia, the defendants. The plaintiffs were Essex carriers ; the business of the defendanthe t was rot stated. in . the evening of the Id of September List, ai len.l int and his wife, and mother female, were riding home to Imet'un in a gig from Epping, in compere) with Lit:other piny, enevelling in IA:. manner, with whom they had been out IArAI days plmsore. The idaintiff"ii van was then'leaving London towards . Essex. and in tie Mile End-road the defendant's gig came in cos. tact with a mare of the plaintiVe, then drawing the van, and thel se aft ran into thr.. animal's body twine depth nf several inches. The • p:si mid' was put to eonsialerable expense an endeavouring to T he ante animal curt e., but she ultimately died, and being north twonty• ...o.ve pouada, the present action was browyist to recover that arm. tenothe, with the amount of the vetennary sutg.un's bill. The kluotiff alleged that the Accident was exam 1-W by the negligent and improper driving of the defendant. Several witnesses were called to Mow that the van war in the centre of the road, leaving qni:e sufficient room for the defendant's gig to pass in safety, had he used dye caution and care. It was suggested that the defendant had impeopnely driven the gig. by crossing out of his direct course at an improper rate ; and that, in tact, the defendant and his firiends were all in a state of intoxica ' Lion, not even excepting the ladies, one of whom had been thrown Out of the gig, and hurt considerably. On the part of the defendant, it was insisted that the fault lay with the plaintiff, in consequence of his keeping the cetorc of the road, and not allowing suiSeient mom fur the defendant to pass. The defendant's sister, his daughter, and two other witnesses, deposed, that the accident was attributable to the plaintiff himself; that the defendant drove with tine care and cautitui,—and that the lout, was sober, although the gentlemen had bad some spirits and water after their supper. The ladies poaiiively denied that they wen in any degree affected with liquor. The lio RD CHLET JUSTICE summed up the evidence on both sides, leaving it to the Jury to say. upon the balance of testimony, to whom the accident was attributable. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found.their verdict fee the plaintiff—damages 231. TILE XING, OX THE PIOSECETIOT Or 'WHEEL!. AGAINTT TITCHETT.

Mr. BROI:GlIAM opened the pleading, and Mr. GeletT stated the case for the prosecution ; but on the testimony of the first witness adduced to prove the charge, it was negatived altogether. and the thief Justieedirected the Jury to acquit the defendant.

Sittings at Westminster, L t fu, e the Cum , Jvarict and a Spe cial Jary.] THE DCKE OF SORT HU 5111E1LAND r. CLOWES. Mr. TINDALL opened the pleadings. The plaintiff complained of being disturbed in the occupation and enjoyment of his house by a steam-engine erected by the defendant, who had pleaded Not Guilty. Me. Sergeant VAC OD N. who, with the assistance of Mr. Raioe, cendocted the plaintiff's case, stated, that this was an action ihich his Grace the Duke of Nonhumberland had been compelled to bring against the defendant, in order to suppress,. by the verili^t of a Jury, a nuisance by which his enjoyment of the noble mansion be posses-sal was disturbed. The Noble Duke and his ancestors had long enjoyed this mansion, and as his enjoy ment was now for the first nine disturbed, he had found it neat sary to seek a remedy by action. it would be shown on this inquiry that continued volumes of offensive smoke were continually ts- Isuing nom the defendant's chimney ; that, In consequence, t h e Duke's premises were covered with soot; and that, by the work. I l ing of the engine, the well had repeatedly been drained of its water, so as not to leave a sufficiency for the supply of the family. The defendant was a printer, residing close to the premises of the Noble Puke ; and the engine he had erected wee undoubtedly put up foe the purpose of carrying on his trade; but still, es a British Jury would not give their verdict toe man merely became he was wealthy and noble—so, on the other hand they would not think him the less entitled to it on that account. It was, undoubt. edly, a favourite position, that a man might do what be pleased with his own property ; and that was stnede tree, provided one qualification was added, namely—that in suiting hie own plewettre or convenience he did not trespass on the comfort or convenience of others. The first time that this nuisance had been observed WAS in September last, when the family were out of town, and when one of the Noble Duke's establishment was disturbed in his bed by the active of of the steam-engine, the boiler of which came in contact with the party-wall of the mansion. The noise had been not inappropriately compared to a thrashing machine, to distant thunder, or the rumbling of waggons. It sometimes commented at eight in the evening, and continued all night. The blacks some. times fell in such quantities as to cover I, and swab* any person to write his name. He should _ bees t ant questionably the defendant had, in some degree, Mamma the mil. sance by taming his chimneys, and that he was said neer ha me coke instead of coal. Still, however, coal might again be to; and the question was, whether the Duke of Northam who had laid out nearly 100,0001. in repairing and beautifying*" mansion, and had employed great numbers of English animas* the work, should now be driven from it, or continuo to Mishit is after all his comfort and enjoyment had been deeerayed. The common defence that the plainuff had ensue to the n.lssnee ant:ll not be set up in this case, as the plaintiff and his ancestors had en joyed the mansion for a period of more than two hundred= and before that time it had been possessed by the Earl of smpton. In fact, the Jury must know that it had formerly suet/ alone in the midst of fields, when London had we as yet estemled to its present gigantic size. He should prove thews facts, sod all on the Jury for a verdict, though he should ass ask ibs beery *- maps, as the object of the plaintiff was restpsemiserompsus. non, but the undistut bed and commodious eahryessat of his man sion. Several witnesses who , ere aequsintd with the mansion of the noble plaintiff, bore testimony to the annoyance the steam-engine occasioned. The Gardener was called,tand he said the blacks fell in showers, like a shower or snow, and had he not actively employed his garden. mginc, the plants would hare been burnt up. Mr. Jonathan Parkins, Clerk of the Works, at Northumberland House, said, that upwards of 100,0001. had been expended by his Once in erections and embellishments within the last few years. Had found the pumps dry ; and, upon inquiry, learnt that the de fendant had got a steam-engine. He went to the defendant's, and Mend that a deeper well than the Duke's had been sunk by him, which drew the water from the Duke's well. He had no doubt of this fact, because the Duke's pump was dry of a Tuesday morning after the defendant's engine had been working all the Monday night. He was the person who broke a hole through the Duke's wall, which divides the Duke's promises from the engine-home of the defendant. The steam.engine of the defendant was adjoining the outside cf the wall. Some time after the wall was perforat ed, the boiler of the defendant boiled over, and the water flowed through the hole into the Duke's stables. The AT TORNEY.OEVERAL--YOU should not have made the bele. Ores-examined , 1:/ the ATTORNEV-GENEZAK--The kiteben diinineys of the I) 'e are within ten feet of the defendant's pre mises, and the smoke from them, when the wind is in that direc tion, blows the blacks against the defendant's windows, where his sheets of paper are hung to dry. The Duke's wall is seven feet six 'inches higher than the defendant's premises. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, and shuts out his light. Wm. Parsons, Engineer—ln October last had his attention called to the defendant's engine, and saw smoke issuing at various times from his chimney in thick volumes, and beard a noise caused by the friction in the working of the engine. He had observe:A a dedciency of water in -die Duke's well when the engine was at, week. An argument was raised upon thelquestion of the Duke's exclu.i sive right to the water, and the legality of the defendant depriv. fag him of poet of it, by drawing it kointhe spring with his steam.' engine. 'the Lout Catty JUSTICE said, that unless the Duke could] slam that he had any grant or prescriptive right to the use of this water. it was evident the defendant had as much right to dig a well on his ground, as the Duke had to dig one on his. Other evidence being called on the part of the plainer; a pro. position was made to refer the cause, which was objected so. The ATTOESIEW-GENERA). thcn.addemeed the JUT', and said beehould call evidence to show that the sound of the engine could, set he heard in Northumberland-house, and that the smoke arising teem the chimnica to the Noble Duke's mansion was much greater. thes was caused by the defendant's engine. -Ile should prove that the dekndant had burnt coke for the last three months. and no anspkeavose above the chimney. The noise heard on the Duke's. stated to be continuous, which was easily accounted re mansion was situate at the corner of three of the largest thoroughfares in London, and the continuous noise was caused by she carriages passing, and this fact put him in mind of an ante dote which lie would Mate to the Jury, as it bore on this sue. An Irishman came to London, and pant a with his cockney cousin at the corner of Northumberland House, intending to go up Saint Martin's-lane ; his cousin went into the City, and returned a fon lours after, to go to hit dinner , and found his Irish relation whore be had P artedp with him. " How is it you are here ?". " Oh, by aies the Irishman, * I have not been able to cross the reed for coacheasince you left me. (Lsughtert. Ile, the Attorney. gunstel, proceeded to comment upon the evidence, and sai d shield mil witnesses to disprove it. At the suggestion of the Court, a reference was again posed; and, final)y,. tt .was agreed to takes 'whet for the plain m 1,110e1., subject to the refersece of Mr. SSl‘,ll. All-stamps on law proceedings are repealed from the .10th of October next. A coal mine has been recently discovered on the estate of Lord Clifden, near the city of Kilkenny.—lrish Observer. We regret to state, that while Colonel Struts was on his way on Friday through the Park to the Mouse of Com mons, he experienced a severe fall, in consequence of his horse having taken fright. Among those who witnessed the accident, was her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, who with that gracious kindness which so eminently dis anguishes the Royal Family, immediately got out of her carriage, and insisted on the worthy Colonel being care, fully placed in it, and slowly conveyed to his house in .Green-street. Her Royal Highness then proceeded herself on foot (a considerable distance) to her residence in St. James's Palace, amidst the admiring gaze of an elegant throng, to whom ber humane and laudable conduct had so highly and justly endeared her. The accident, we are glad to find, is not of a seriouinature. FROM SATURDAY NIGITTS GAZETTE. Carlton .11onse. June 9. 192.1.

On Saturday it man named Dwifeld, who has been long known to the Pollee as a finer for the most desperate thieves about town, was brought before the Lord Mayor, by Mr. Brown, the Marshal, charged upon suspicion of having received BULL in local Bank notes, of which it is supposed . Mr. Names, the steward of Earl Cowper, was robbed under the circumstances detailed in the newspapers. Hesketh, the officer, stated, that having received particular di reeticros from the Marshals to watch the motions of any suspicious person, in consequence of the late desperate robbery, he looked sharply after all the bad ones that visited the Bank. As he walked up Cornhill, he observed Dudfield, whom he had long known, go ing tower& the Bank ; followed him, and saw him stand opposite the Exchange, reading (as it were) the play-bills. Witness soon afterwards lost sight of him ; but suspecting that his aim was the Bank, be went in, and saw Dudfield present some large notes, and receive from the cashier a great number of sovereigns, which he placed in a bag. Witness, with the assistance of the porter, ascer tained that Dudneld had written the name of " Prescot. street, Goodman's-fields," upon the notes which be bad paid in, and immediately went to the Mansion - House to inform Mr.llrown, who thereupon apprehended the prisoner. In the bag were found the ale sovereigns, and in the pi isoner's pocket were found 23 more. Dudfield said he had received the notes which he had just e;- changed from a Mr. Williams, of Prescott-street, whose name be, therefore, thought proper to indorse on them. Mr. Hu at PI( a es appeared for Dudfield. He said the prisoner had particular mesons for not putting his own name on the notes, and submitted to the Lord Mayor, that it was improper to detain him, there being no law to oblige a man to write his name upon Bank notes ; and there being no proof, nor attempt a; proof, that the Bank notes for which he had got cash bad been stolen. The Loan MAYOR said, he had reason to suppose, that although the notes presented at the Bank were not stolen, certain notes which bad been given in exchange for them were. Mr. Brown said that he bad traced the notes paid into the Bank by the prisoner to the banking-house of Currie and co. in Cornbill, who had given them in exchange for a number of 51. Cambridge notes, which had been brought to the house by a female that morn ing. Whom had previously suspected Dudheld of having a con nection with the persons who plundered Mr. Haines' house, and upon seeing the Cambridge notes, which were current in the neigh bourhood where the robbery was committed, his suspicions were increased. Dudheld—" I think It, my Lord, a great hardship to be de tained here for nothing. I got the notes in an honourable way. I em in the habit of receiving a vast number of local notes, and shall probably have ten thousand pounds' worth in the course of the next week. I hope you will not keep me in prison upon mere suspicion." The boron MAYOR said, there were such strong circumstances of suspicion, that he would be culpable in not investigating them more narrowly . .It was extraordinary in the prisoner, if he got in nocent possess ion of the notes, nut to give a satisfactory account of the manner. Mr. Why, my Lord, the fact is, the prisoner got the notes at play, and of course he was unwilliug to put his own name upon them." Dudtseld begged that the sovereigns might be detained, and that he might be permitted to go at large. The Loan 31A1r011 said, that justice had often been defeated by that course, and that the conduct of Dudtield's wife, who had been at the Alanshion-House upon a charge of having passed a stolen note sonic time ago, was an additional ground of suspicion that the Cambridge notes were stolen property. Mr. Haines's house had been robbed by a most desperac gang, who had taken off with them 2,000/. in local and other notes, and every effort should be made to detect the thieves. The whole of the circumstances of this case were such as to throw a great degree of suspicion upoa the coo duct of Padfield. Dudfield—" Why 1 saw the officer at the Bank before I changed the notes, and I knew I should be pulled up to the Mansion-House. If I was guilty why did I get change in the presence of Ilesketh ?" The LOAD biAT 011—' 6 I believe you admit that those DMA of England notes were exchanged for local notes?" Dialtield—" I admit no such thing." Hesketh hare said, that he had gone to Prescott-street, Good man's-fields, but found no such person as Mr. Williams there. A clerk in Currie's banking-house produced the Cambridge 51. notes, which had been received in the morning from a woman in exchange for one 2001., three lOW., and one WI. Dank of England notes. The Cambridge notes were all without any mark, except the name of " Williams," which was on the back of each of them. The prisoner was remanded for further examination. The Loan MAYOR took occasion to commend, in the biggest mums, the conduct of Hesketh the officer. FISH MARKET, Sif N DAY, Juxr 13. Billingsgate is open this day . for the sale of Mackarel only, and consequently great quantities are generally brought into market ; there were but tew by land carriage, and five or six boats, containing in the whole from 10 to 80,000, must of which wcre totally unsaleable, though sold, greatly to the discredit of those whose province is to superintend the market, as not a tenth port were even good, and very few indeed second day. They were, however, purchased by the itinerant venders at a cheap price, if an article unlit for use can be considered a bargain, they being sold from Its. to Pis. per 100. London and its suburbs was there ; fere annoyed throughout the major Dart of the day by the usual harsh and sliaagmeable yell of " 3lr.ckarel," and other discordant variations. It is undoubtedly an object to the higher circles to ob tain fresh fish on a Sunday, an encouragement to the dahennan to be allowed to sell, and a luxury to the mechanic on his leisure day ; but the sale of unwholesome fish like that we witnessed this morn. lug can besefit no one, and the result must necessarily be I disease, caused by eating the very worst kind of unwholesome food. The public are perhaps in no article of consumption worse judges than in that of Fish. It is by no means an uncommon circuit , . stance to see the doors of respectable houses opened to the street fish-women, who practise the most shameful deception, taking care to place a ter fish, picked out, as a she«, which they mud to tin a dirty state), and if approved of, are returned to be cleaned; •tha ser.; vant's attention is easily taken off by some unmeaning tiouValia. ration. In the mean time a change is made, and the best I'll is re. tainod for future traffic. Mackerel are g o od and flesh the second day after they are taken • and this is as early as they can be sup. plied in town; but the third day works a change irrecontileable to the palate or beneficial to the health of the consumes. Fish. mongers, from cleanliness and cool places, are enabled to keep Fish many hours longer than can be expected by those who carry them during the " hot noontide sun." slackarcl, if third day, or stale Fish, have dull eyes, with a film coveting them ; their eclair also dull, the belly of a dingy white . if fresh, they are of a peculiar golden tint, the eye bright and prominent, and the body miff and firm. FATAL. ACCIDENT WHILE B•THlNO..—Analler fatal accident has occurred by bathing since our last ; on Tuesday a young man of the name of Johnson, went into the river Aire, at • place called Sandy Cree, De a r the f actory of Messrs. Gott and Sons, to bathe: the place into which he ventured, and to which he Wm I an entire stranger, was very deep, and he was unfortunately drowned. A number of persons were bathing near him, but did not venture to render him any assistance. At length, a . person was procured from some distance, who ventured in to his assistance, but n was too late, life was extinct.—Leeds Mercary. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER RACES.

There wu an excellent day's play on Saturday, in two straight. forward manly battles, at Pedworth, near Farnham. The first was foe 30 sovereigns, between Isaac Alexander, the keeper, and Bishop Harris, who has often signalised himself as the 14 Bisbee dentist. These men were to have fought at Chichester, but not being there, a new match was made. It was a short but a slaughtering battle of six rounds. 1. Alexander made the play, and a rally commenced without de. lay. Hit for hit was the go, and of such weight, as to transform their feature'. Alexander was floored by a telling smack on the smeller, from which the claret ran in streams. 2. Active hostility was again the order ; no attempts were made to parry, or to shift from the scratch ; it war hart' daug work, and Harris went down with a tremendous right-handed blow lon the mouth. Z. Both were hit to a stand-still, foaming pt the screw, and pip. big like broken-winded 'sackers. Hams was thrown heavy from a close, and which seemed to rattle his bones. 4. Second wind having found them both, went to work agala, and another rally followed, in which the left eye of Harris was closed, but he out taught, and had the first decided advantage over his adversary, and hit him down by a blow in the kidneys. b. Harris led again, but it was a most obstinate round, and equally fought. Harris was thrown a somerset on the top of his head, which dorsal him for the moment. . . 6. Harris wu slow at the call of time, but he staggered up to his adversary, and was hit down by a blow upon the = which left him senseless for a time, and Alexander was &dared the victor. Both ware much beaten in sixteen minutes. A second battle was fought for IU sovereigns between Giaors an; Ford, ‘Vest-eountrymen of mule note, and it wss a tremendous one while it lasted, one round only. They had scarified each other's mugs to pieces, when Ford had his leftysw broken, after seven nti. flutes' rallying, and was beat. To-day the whole stakes fur the fight between Samppssoono and Ward will be made good over a sporting dinner at 's • and the last deposit is to be made good at Mr. Bekher's, far Birney Aaron and Mathewson's fight. The lady of Colonel ()11—, on the way to the Isla of Wigt e l stopped at Langan's Inn, at Chicheo;er, previous to the a offered him a green handkerchief, as his famine, which th a s%inly. declined to accept, observing, that it might appear too presumptuous in him to wear his national colour, as the affair was merely to de. Bide which was the best man; and said he, " as I have before adopted black, I do not wish to change it, and I am anxious to avoid anything that may excite prejudice. The lady then placed the handkerchief loosely round his neck, and wished him waxes. Langan express%l his grateful acknowledgmenta il lnl aciud eonsidend the circumstance as a favourable omen.

The other two young men, though much exhausted, made a second attempt to extricate Mr. Parkinson, and they 'gun succeeded in getting hold of his hair, but they found it impossible to raise him, and he began then to fall gradually backward and sank to the bottom, from whence he was in about half an hour taken a lifeless corpse by twe men whq came up eith a boat.
