Leis was a wire facia, issued against Mr. Lester, at the in. suttee of .31r. Haddon, of Aberdeen, piling upon the defendant to e eye/ cause why the patent which was obtained by him in the year !HZ:. for certain elated impmvemerte in the application of heat to peeparing, rolling, and limning of wool should not be repealed, it setsuch its that the invention was not new, but had been need in rlegland berme by Mr. Haddon himself. The defsmdant,.by his ylee, dented the fact, whromplin issue was joined.

In the conution process of tombirg wool a great deal of the fine [short fibres adhered to the tee b, which, beeire the application of heat In thepreparation, or ( -ioned a coesidereble lose but by the invention new insisted to toe •tbet of 31r. Ilaillon'e the process of combing wns super kneel, and the Lies by waste or nouns consequently prevented. It was contended on the part of the defendant that thieve was a 'very material improvement in the mode adopted by him In the preparation of wool ; and that it possessed many advantages over :eat of Mr. 111c:don's invention. In the best place it combined the t distinct and separate processes of moistening, pressing, nr ruling and calendeting, the wool; whereas the machine invented by Mr. Madden applied to the calenderieg or drying only. Besides. althoueli the defendant applied heat for the purpoee of straighten. .ng the woo!, yet lie did so in a didierent stage or the process; and as lic had obtained a patent. not for any inveotion, but for iroptore 'cents °illy, it was contended that as those improvements were un geoieble, lie was entitled to have the benefit of them protected by a *went. It wilt, however, shown on the part of the prosecution that etieeteoing and rolling the wool were processes that were invariably sod. nocewerily used in the preparation of it for spirning, and it wee admitted that in sn far as these processes were performed by aueJtinery it was an iinprovement; but then i: was said that unless all that which the pateut we:lt to protect and secure to the eechieive bore fit of the defendaut Ikea of his own invention, the patent eoeld AWL be held good for any part. ale. Justice BAY LEY was of opinion that the patent eught to Ran beet) fur the combination of the three several processes in one thaelline ; but 1111 the specification set forth improveruents only, thine iniprovementit must be considered separately; anti then there did nut appear te him to be any improvement sufficient to Fulmer' the patent; whist it was quite obvious that the application of beat by Mr. Lester'' , mecitine was another than an adoption of the ketneiple pointed out in Mr. Ilatidon's speeifieetion. He was temetore of opinion that there must be a verdict fur the Crown. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict for the Crown, thereby repealing the defendant's patent. KING, 00 Tilt PROSECUTION OF I.taiTtn. This was a scire under Meted eeainst 31r. II:u!don, at the in. tans , of Mr. Lester, for the purpose of repealing the patent ob. tamed by him, upon the ground that the principle of appl!.ing Lest to the preparation of wool was not the tietentLant's invention, Mist had been adopted and aenel upon several years prior to the slate of his patent. Vhe Counsel were the same as in the former cue, but their cleres had changed their position, the prosecutor being now, in his turn, made defendant, and the defendant become the prosecutor., Proof sets given that a Mr. Wouvenienn, a carpet.manufac. surer of Kidderminaer, aril a Olt. Lane, had, so early as the gam 1812 and 1133, used a machine in which heat was applied In the preparation of wool tar spinning, and which had precisely the urn disc: as that proposed to be produced by the defendant's avaithine.

Justice BAYT.EY observed that if the improved mode of ap. Ad* the principle had been stated in the specification as the 'ground upon which the patent was granted theirs, the argument might be good but as the specifiradoo moat dlstinctty stated that the deft dint considered the eriolication of heat to be entire', sew, and of his own proper ins, mien. and for which Mt petisioned SW the pairnt, hie Lordship was nt opinion, that as it had been si - own that that principle had bran acted upon several years betnre. the patent amid not be sustained, and a verdict must in this case also be given for the crown.

P01.1(7E. MANSION-HOUSE. Baron Joseph Ferli. a Colonel in the Spanish service, and dining the struggle of the Spanish ('onstitutionalists Governor of the lortresa of Lerida, cane to the Justice Room yesterday, after the Lord Mayor had retired, for the purpose of borrowing a few shil lings. of which lie declared, but without betraying any symptom of dejection in his countenance or mann.. r, he stood greatly in need. Mr. Nobler and the Colonel, whose condition might be supposed to have reached the climax of misery, entered into a conversation, from which the follpaing particulars were collected:— The noble gpaniird, whore landed estates had produced to him 110.006 francs anuatly, joined the Constitutional army, when it be. came necessary to make sacrifices to the cause, and was engaged in moat of the battles which took place io his unfortunate country. Upon arriving in this country, after the defeat of his hopes, and in the last stage of want, he applied to the Spanish Committee. whose finances were such as prevented them, in consequence of the numerous demands upon them, from allowing him as much money as would buy the means of covering his nakedness, with out stopping that allowance weekly nu; of the five shillings ad. sanest! to him for food and lodging. rhz cravings of nature were nut to be postponed, and hungra, one of the.lllll6l uncompromising, compelled him for several nights to dispense With the protection of Ins miserable apartment, and to walk about the strew, front which almost every other person, it appeared to him, had some refuge to fly to. He had thought that an application to a Lodge of Freemasons, of which body he was one, would hare the effect of producing relief. which, it ever Providence rhould change his present condition, lie would recollect with the most substantial gratitude. He accordingly applied, but he failed for want of the testimonials considered necessary In the recommendation of a brother, which, if lie had dared to carry about him in Spain, would have immediately sealed his doom, freemasonry being regarded there as a means of binding together the affections of the people, and of course as forming a sort of barrier against oppression. Ile said he had got no testimonials, and men:ioned the penalty which awaited the bearer; of any in Spain ; but the regulations of the body forbad the extension of eche' under such circumstances; and he now, as p last resourte, and to which, as it was the one so ' many of hit once affluent, but now poor rod desolate countrymen had depended upon, came to the Mansion .House to borrow a trifle —even a few halfpence would be serviceable. His wife, who had been starving in Spain, was expected by him to join his fate here; so that although he never, as we intimated before, appeared for a moment to despond. there never appeared at the bar of the Justice Roam a more affbcting object of pity. Mr. Hon L E a requested that the Colonel would receive front him, in the name of the Lord Mayor, as a contribution or a loan, a small sum of money, which would give Ides present relict. It was accepted most gratefully. iiilliimmowl GUILDHALL. Yeitertlay t; MAT Nterhen Beaky' and Ricretr3 &Mg, were limn ;lic before Alderman Wood, charged by their employer, Mr. Pontifee, an eminent copper smith, with leaving their work in an unfinished state, and hav ing obtained money on account of the same. The case was fully made out against one of thrtn, who had, it appeared, obtained no less a sum than eleven pounds in advance, and then went to another manufactory to work. Mr. Pontifex stated it was not his wish to press the cases, if the men were sensible they were acting illegally and would return to their work. Mr. Sheen, another coppersmith, then stated that the trade had for a long period been put to the greatest inconvenience I that the men could earn from 9s. to Its. per day ; that a great number of them got in debt as much as possible in advance on their work, and then left. It was also tutored that other men would not finish the work that was so begun. The cases were then all gone into and proved ; the great point the jourreymen wished to be decided was, wbetlitr, •• if they made out their bill," that is, undertook certain 'work. and received money upon it, or were in debt to their employers, they were liable to the penal clauses of the law. Mr. Alderman Wool) fully explained this point in the air. matire, sad added that the opinion of an eminent Counsel had been taken thereon. _ _ . This being understood, one of the defendants said they were sorry for what they had done ; that they were willing to go to work and pay all the expenses. This was assented to, and after a suitable admonition from the Alderman. they were discharged. The oilier was crowded with workmen in the same trade, who appeared to be pleased with the termination. The Alderman deprecated the practice of advancing money to the workmen beforehand, as injurious to them and to their cm. ployers. BOW-STREET. Mr. John Turnbull, the West Indian, was, by appointment, again brought up yesterday, charged with forging. and - uttering as true, a forged paper purporting to be a check or note, payable at Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.'s, foe 101. The office was cmwded to excess, but Mr. Minshull did not arrive until half-past twelve o'clock, when his Worship went into the private room. Ford, the rattler, was immediately directed to bring in the prisoner, who was attenued by his sachem and several gentlemen. The complainant, Ann Nettlefold, again repeated the luny she told yesterday, sa did Ilarvey, the landlord, and his wife. The defendant again protested his innocence, and declared that he had never seen Nettlefold in his life before. . . Capt. Small, resident In the same house with the prisoner, swore positively that be was at home by eleven o'clock on the night in question. Ann Nettlefold and Mrs. Harvey swore as positively that he was at their house. All the parties were then ordered to withdraw, and Mr. Minshull and Mr. Halls consulted together. On our re-admission, Mr. 31 INSIII:T.L saild it was his constant practice never to give aft opinion as to the guilt or Innocence of any wren before him, and as this was a case of identity he should bind over the prisoner to the Sessions, and require him to find ball in M. and two sureties in 40/. each. This was accordingly done, and the partia left the office. Rowers, the duller, was again placed at the bar. Mr. ilan nett appeared in his behalf, and very strongly con. tended that his client had not been guilty of any fraud in bra trans action with the prosecutr, inasmuch as the article, though certainly of cotton. was denominated. even by the most respectable trades men in this metropolis," linen," which statement of Mr. H.'s was corroborated by a draper present. Mr. Hact s observed that he considered any such tradesmen to he Fluky of a gross fraud, and should any of them be brought before hint be would treat them in precisely the same way its he should flowers, who was then fully committed to take his trial at the next Clerkenwell Sessions, and all the parties were bound over to prosecute. - - - Pt: ta.t.t No.—On Wednesday information was laid at the Secre tary of States Office for the Home Department, that two of the gentlemen snatched to the Etnhassy of Prince Poligr.ar ' the French Ambassador, had agreed to tight a duel, at an early hour yesterday morning, on flounslow Heath.

No. 291, ware summoned to answer why they did not remove from the stand in Howland -street, on the express order of 31r. Frost, the Secretary of the Commissioners. On the information being read, Mr. Pit M ales objected that it was incorrect, as there was no Jurist signed to it. Mr. Ano erne s—Thar is of no consequence. We do not wish to punish. It is to prevent further obstinetion in Howland.steeet. Edward Stone stated that he a-as Surveyor of the Pavements of St. Pancras, and was onlered to lay the present information.

Frost sild that several complaint' had been laid, and that the Commissioners only wanted to move the *fend one hundred yanle farther. Mr. I'llll.l.les asked Foster if the coachmen had any objection. Foster replied in the affirmative. Mr. Frost said that the present 'tend was a great nuisance in putting clown their passengers in Ilowland-street, as it was near to their rank. Colonel Bird—The rank is a very great nnlnsnce. Mr. PHILLIPS—Are these poor fellows to be deprived of their livin, % t NI r..lnner tit'S—You are only required to move opposite to NYltitticlit's Chapel. stud the Commissioners will keep you bem ires from any information that may be laid against you, as at this moment they do. Johnsen having remarked that perhaps Mr. Cletnenti would lay an infornivion against them. Colonel Bird said that the coachmen should have his full sup port. The coachmen (who were numerous) said it would be very In conveniein for them, as there was no place to put up as a watering house to refresh their horses. Mr. ADOLPHUS here remarked that he never knew a Metbo. dist Chapel that was not close to a public-house. t'ol. Bird said there were two houses who would no doubt fight for the gaining the watering department. Mr. Dame ern (the Magietrute) here said, I should not like to interrupt the arguments; from what I have heard, I have no jurisdiction in the case. I don't take any objections, although three are objections In this information.

Mr. PH t I.l.lPl , —There is no occasion for doing so, for there is no appeal required when no conviction has taken place; you are only tailed here to tell you, you must not ply there (Howland street) any more ; far if you do, the parish and the Commissioners will prosecute. If you lath any further advice, apply to Mr. Humphries, who sill direct you how to proceed. The pnetiee then left the office, the coachmen determined to be righted, as they conceived that their stemd could not be removed without the sanction of Parliament. UNION-HALL. eURIOUs CAST..—A young man named Joseph Vining, a car penter, was yesterday charged with leaving his wife chargeable to the parish of Christchurch. The defendant, on entering the o ffi ce, appeared from his gestures and manner to be labouring under considerable irritation of mind, particularly upon being placed by the side of the lady who honoured him with the appellation of her " lord and muter.' Burch, the beadle, stated that the perish, in consequence of tlee woman's application, had relieved her, but on their applying to the defendant, he denied that she was his wife, and therefore refused granting her any support. The reputed wife stood forward, and handing in a copy from the marriage register of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, said that it was the certificate of her marriage on the 2d of June last. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Al organ, the curate of the parish. The defendant hastily interrupted her, declaring that it was a falsehood, for he had Hever been married at Si. Martin's or any other church. The facts, he said, were theae became ac quainted with the compl ainant about two yew ago, a day was ap pointed for their marriage at St. Mathes church, but when he en tered the church be was surprised on seeing a young man, named Williams, whom he knew to be a reputed thin, in company with hls intended wife. He therefore abruptly left the church, deter mined upon cutting the connexion altogether. He ran off to a public-house, iii which he bed not been seated more than half an hour, when Williams, together with the female now present, joined him; the former exclaimed " Never mind, Yining, although you left the church and the bride In the lurch,l base settled the bu tane:, for yoe ; here," tuning the woman over to me, said the defendant, IVilliams obServed, " take her for better for wale, she is now your wife, as I have marched her fur you in your absence :" then putting a marriage certititete into my and, he added, " and I have put your signature to it." The 3lagietrate expressed MA amazement upon hearing this statement, and asked where Williams was to be found. The defendant replied that Williams was transported for felony soon after the occurrence at St. Martin's Church. The Magistrate next Inquired whether the defendant hail ever cohabited with the complainant, and particularly whether she had accompanied him home after what had taken place at the church. The defendant said that he allowed himself to be made tipsy at the public house, after he ran out of the church, and that he was prevailed upon by the vagabond Williams.—for he could call Aspen nothing else.—to take the woman home. " I lived with her," said the defendant, " for some time, and treated her as my wite, but I had soon reason to repent of it, fur she plundered me of every thing in order to owlet the person who had more right to her than I have. The complainant seemed greatly incensed at what the defendant asserted. " Look," said she, addressing the Magistrates, "look at my marriage lines; surely that will convince all that he is my husband." The Magistrate examined the certificate attentively, and ob served that it born all tfie ntarks of genuieeness. Under all the cir euinstances he should advise the defendant to enter into some ar rangement with the parish for the maintenance of the com plement, Defendant, with warmth—l will not allow her one halfpenny ; I will suffer my bones to mortify in a risen before r consent to support a strumpet. What ! ant 1 obliged to maintain a woman to whom I am not married, and who tubbed me while she was with cue of every thing. The Magistrate told him • that be must certainly maintain his wife until the marriage wee tepidly dissolved. Defendant—Them your di unship, fur Cod's sake dissolve it now on the spot. Magistrate observed, that the defendant's last sentence strengthened him in the belief that the complaisant was hie law. ful wife. " However," said the Magistrate, "as you are so anxious to get rid of her, and as you have Kivu reasons for such a step. your beat method will be to sue for a divorce at Doctors' Commons." The sum of 3s. 61. per week was then awarded to be, paid by the defendant as her allowance.

Ronntures.—On Monday evening last some expert thieves, having previmisly made preparations for their exploits "by starring the glsee," contrived, though the assistant was in the shop, to abstract from the window of Mi. Fairlie, an eminent optician and mathematical instrument residing in the Commercial-road, a utursbee of valuable telescopes, and different nautical iustruments. The. miudrive glass had been what is technically czlkd " starred"' so ?.:11; back as the 14th inst.; but in consequence of the frost, Mr. Fairlic thinking that by placing sable against it he had sufficiently guarded against depralatioua,rieferred getting it repaired for a few dsys. 314.

()a the same evening the premises of Mr. IV:ghat, a respectable boot and shoe maker, car , tying on business on Fish.ioreet.hill, near the Ilion:intent, was en tered by means of false keys, during the temporary absence of its progriouo, and a quanity of boots anti shoes, amounting to over pair, feloniously abstracted.

Torts American, Dec. 5.] On Saturday last information was given to the Police that a person residing in Barclay-street had, for a number of years past, had two sons in close confinement in the garret of his house. On the receipt of the information Mr. Hopson, one of the Magistrates, with one or two others, immediately proceeded to the house. They found the father at home, who, knowing the Magistrate, and thinkiugp or pretending to think, that they were in search of stolen goods, told them they had mistaken the house. Mr. Hopson replied be was not mistaken, and without More ado proceeded to the garret. The garret contained two rooms, the keys turned in both. On entering oue of the rooms a scene of wretched ness was presented unparalleled in our city. A young mall, apparently about thirty years of age, was seen sit ting in a bed, naked to the shirt, his arms closely pinioned, his form wasted, and his whole appearance miserable in the extreme. The room was in the most fllthy condition, being used for every purpose. The unfortunate inhabitant of this wretched abode seemed to be in the most abject state of fear, and, on the entrance of his unusual visiters, concealed himself beneath the clothes. The adjoining room was in the game condition, and was occupied by a brother, appa rently about •Jt years old. The father, on being questioned, gave as an expose, that they were maniacs ; indeed their present state was undoubtedly so. One of them had at one time been in college, and became deranged during the last war; so that by the father's own statement one of them had been in confinement nearly 11 years. The sister (for such they had) stated that they bad once been in the hos 04E1, but would have died had they remained there. ' Would I E." said one of them, his countenance for the moment lightened with a ray of intelligence, "shall I live !reser The father, on being asked what food he gave then), said he was dieting them at present, and they were somewhat better, and that he should hate to have diem re moved at present. Measures will be immediately taken to investigate' the affair. and if they really were maniacs from Ithe first, and the father is too poor to support them other wise, they will have proper attention paid them. HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO A FEMALE APPRENTICE. Yesterday Mr. P.enett and Mr. Osborne, the sitting Magi,- testes. at the Police Office, Worship.street, were engaged in the investigation of a ease of atrocious cruelty inflicted on Mary Ann Starkey, a girl about twelve years of age, apprenticed by the parish of St. Mathew, Bethnal-green, to Itim. Burn, a journeyman weaver residing at 31, Turk -street, Bethnal.green. The child was , brought to the Office on Wednesday afternoon by Mr. Higgs sad I Mr. Davis, two of the Parish Miters, who had taken her by force I from her master's house, and the extreme wretchedness of the poor girl's appearance excited the commiseration of all who saw her. i She was unable to walk, but was brought into the presence of the 1 Magistrates in the arms of a female, and placed it) a chair near the fire. Some decent elothee had been thrown over the few rags In , which she was found. These having been in part removed, her' form appeared dreadfully emaciated, her shoulders and arras I coveted with braises, which she said had been Inflicted by her min- tress. Severe' persons of the neighbourhood were present to give evidence of the cruel manner in which she had been treated. A 1 warrant tot the apprehension of William and Mary Burn was lute mediately issued, and yesterday they were brought before the Magistrates. . The prisoners being placed at the bar, the Magistrates ordered that the office doors should be thrown open for the admission of all who chose to enter, in order that the examination might be made I with all possible publicity. The office was In a few minutes i crowded in every part, especially by females. Mr. lligge, the overseer, having detailed the circumstances under which he had succeeded with the aid of Davis. the beadle, in bringing the girl away, during the absence of the male prisoner, and-after much resistance by his wife, The girl herself was Interrogated as to her knowlegde of the na ture of an oath, and, heving answered satisfactorily, was sworn. She appeared to he en intelligent little girl, but was too feeble to articu late distinctly. lier answer; to the Magistrate's questions were collected by Vann the officio., and by him repeated to the clerk, who was taking the depositions. She had hardly any thing to allege against her master, she said, but her mistress had very much ill tieNl her. She had been in the habit of beating her with a birch broom, and Mid broken the handle of one on her back. She beat her three or four times a day. She had not a sufficiency of food, and was obliged to cat raw potetoe-peelings as the other apprentices knew, she said. This had continued during twelve weeks. She I was carefully confihed to the house, being prevented even front go ing into the yard when she required it. Mr. 13r.stevr asked if her master was present when she was so heat by her mistress ? The girl said he was. They used to give her dry bread, ; but sometimes her master would give her a lit tle butter. _ _ . . . Mr. BENETT asked if they gave her as much bread as she wanted ? Not half, nor a quarter so much, she said. She some times had a little meat • but she had been " weeks and weeks" without tasting meat. She never had tea, though she often asked for it ; and she laid on a " bad sacking bed." Mr. Davis being sworn, stated that he saw the miserable bed ; one blanket was all the covering he saw. The man and his wife slept in the same room with the apprentices, with nothing but a curtain to separate them. The child being re-examined, said her mistress had beaten her with the but-end of a whip, and rai?ed a lump under her ear as big as an egg, which was afterwards poulticed. Orce, when she went to take her victuals, her mistress dragged her down stain by the hair of her head. Mrs. Martha Shepherd, a nurse, stated that in August last she went to see the child, in company with her mother. At that time the child had a dem cut in her head, occasioned, as the female prisoner alleged, by a saucepan falling upon her. Benjamin Halliugton, formerly apprenticed to the male prienner, was about to prove several acts of cruelty towards the girl; but on it; being objected that he and his late master had been several times before the Magistrates on mutual complaints, he was directed to stand aside for the present. — . Thomas Newcon.h, also formerly an apprentice of Burns, stated that lie had frequently seen the female prisoner beat the corplain ant with a rod semked in urine: lie had seen her tear the hair from the girl's head t he had seen her beat with the handle of a earman's whip and with the fists. The child used to be kept with out her victuals sometimes till six o'clock at night. He saw a deep cut in the girl's head ; it was filled up with salt. She told him her mistress had cut it with a saucepan, and then filled it up with salt. He had seen the girl cat the raw potatoe-peelings. They were all infested with vermin, he said, and he had a pair of sheets on his bed which had not been washed for four year*. Born made heavy complaints of the girl's disposition. The female declared that one of the parish officers had desired her to keep the girl without victuals if she did not perform her to-k, and to beat her. The officer she pointed out gave a positive contradiction to her statement. The Magistrate cancelled the indentures, ordered the whole amount of premium to be returned, and held the defendants to hail, with twenty.four hours notice, to answer the charge at the Ses sions. At the - Suffolk Sessions, John (Why, aged thirteen, was indicted for assaulting Mary, the w:fe of John Clarke, of Lowestoft, by throwing snow-balls nt her, which, accord , ing to the evitlt nee adduced before the coroner, was sup posed to have accelerated her death, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. HONESIY.—On Friday a gentleman was in the city, on the good old errand of paying his Christmas bills, and whilst in a shop buying a pair of gloves, sonic notes which he placed on the counter were wrapped up with a parcel of gloves which bad been shown him, and neither the person who had served him or the gentleman himself were aware of the circumstance; soon afterwards he misaed the notes, and after making fruitless inquiries he gave them up as lost. On Monday, to his agreeable surprise, he receiv t ed a letter from the Food lady who had furnished him with 'the gloves, enclosing his notes, which had subsequently been discovered by her whilst serving another customer. — h erefited Journal. SHOCKING AcetneNtr.—On Wednesday as Mr. Ro binson, of St. John-street-road, was driving along the New North-road, near Islington, in company with his sister, a young lady only fourteen or fifteen years old, the horse suddenly took fright at seine passing object, and went olf at full speed. After running for about three quarters of a mile. notwitstanding several ntempts ret re made to stop it, the animal at length slipped on a piece of ice at the rood side, and corning down with tremendous force, the young lady was thrown out, and, on being taken up, was to all appearance quite dead. She was taken to the nearest surgeon's, where she was bled, which had the effect of restoring animation. Her left arm was broken both above and below the elbow, and it Ls feared that the frontal bone has received a compound frac ture. Mr. Rubinson was also thrown forward, lint escaped unhurt, owing to hi having fallen on the horse ; the gig was completely shattered. Mitts R. is now under surgical care, hut her recovery is extremely doubtful. One night last week a woodcock so forcibly struck one of the lantern lights on the Steep Holmes, as to shatter the plate glass (a quarter of an inch thick) in pieces: the bird was found dead at the foot of the lantern. The fragments of glass are in possztasion of Stephen Horsley, Esq. at the Vuston-hottac..-Beigtol Pert% THE WEATHER. —war— Durldingstone Loch presented, on Saturday last. a usa g e interesting scene of animation and bustle. The day was fine, with a clear sky and no wind ; and the crowds thst resorted to the Loch, either to en joy the amusement of seating, or to witness the achievements of the seaters, far exceeding any thing that we have yet observed. At au early hour they began to collect, and, as the day adv anced the narrow pathway that leads along th e side of Arthur's Seat was crowded with one dense and intJrnsinable line of passengers, all eagerly pressing forward to the scene o f amusement. The ice was covered in all parts with fashionable parties of spectators, and their enjoyment wa s farther heightened by the performance of the bands of th e 6tll dragoon guards and the 17th regiment, whose elevated station among the rocks that overhang the western pa rt , o f the Loch, was admirably chosen with a view to pictures que effect. The number of people on the ice could not be es t i. mated at his than five thousand. They consisted of all classes, including judges, magistrates, professors, clergy, men, officers, lawyers, merchants, clerks, chimney-swe e p s , and pickpockets. On the cast shore of the Loch Blain four carriages were drawn up ; and in various parts of the ice . and on the sides tents were erected,where whisky and ginger bread were copiously served out to such as chose thou elegant refreshments. The frost continues as severe as ever. Sunday and Monday the city was enveloped in a thick fog, which has covered walls, trees, and railing's with a beautiful encrustation of ice. Duddingstone Loch was not so numerously attended as on Saturday. —Edinburg,, Observer. Since Saturday the frost has been exceedingly severe. The navigation of the river is stopped, and above the bridges the ice is firm and strong from bank to bank. Th e thermometer yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, stood, in the neighbourhood of this city, at ten degrees above zero. About mid-day yesterday it began to be more mild, and daring the afternoon the atmosphere became overcast, intli eating a fall of snow, of which a small quantity fell during the evening.—Ghsvcow Courier. During the past week we have had a moderate fall of snow, with strong frost, which appears to increase in scve. rity. On Sunday morning the scene was exceedingly beau. titul ; every thing bore marks of the season, and appeared bleached with the hoar visitant. On that day the ice on the Tyne became stationary below our bridge for a short space, and still continues in that state. Yesterday (Mon. day) the thermometer in the open air stood at seven degre3 below die freezing point. The river Weir is frozen as far as Hylton, about three miles from Sunderland.—Tyne ifercury. The frost has occasioned partial obstructions in the nevi. gallon of the river Tone, but the present severity of /wither has not been felt in this neighbourhood to an equal &pee with that experienced in meat places eastward of the town. The roads are entirely free from snow, and the bright sunny weather we have enjoyed for several days past would al most render us unconscious of winter, if the neighbouring hills, by the thin draperies of snow which mantle their heads, did not prevent the imagination revelling tco eagerly in the anticipations of spring. Of the fog which we read of in the London Papers, as having so densely prevailed in the metropolis in the beginning of the week, not the least portion has been witnessed here. In truth we do here en joy, in general, throughout this delicious vale, a purity, a softness, and a healthiness of atmosphere, which cannot be exceeded in any part of the kingdotn.—Tairsders Courier. There was so great a fall of snow last week, that on Fri day and Saturday the Leominster mail bags were brought to Worcester by the guard on horseback. The hags from Aberystwith did not arrive for several days. In the neigh bouirhood of Ludlow there has been a great fall of an Is:, which in some places is much drifted.—Cheltenhurn idle. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken at the workhouse in Dunning's-alley, llishopsgate.street, on the body of a woman named Sarah Finch, upwards of 77 years of age, who perished from cold during the night of Monday last. Catherine Uffermati sworn—On Monday night I assisted in car rying the deceased home from Mr. Holyman's house in Bishopsgste street. She had lost the use of her limbs. On getting her into her room I placed her on sonic old rag., about two handfuls o'S which served her for her bed, without z.n a om of bed-clothes to shelter her from the inclemency of the w.ather. On leaving her I told Jenny Jacobs, the servant to Squire Nash's widow (to whom the house in which the d teas d resided belongs, and who lives next door), that I thought unless she was taken care of site would die. I offered to make up a fire in the room, but Jenny Jacobs would not L t me, laid gave as a reason fur her refusal, that she was not goirg to have house burned down. She slid that she would either make her st cordia! or vome we tcr.gruel, and upon this assurance I wont away. Next morning 1 was surprised at not seeing litr eout as usu.l. and went into her room to ascertain if she was worse. I saw h r lying on the ground with her head under the table, ou'te cLad. I caused an immediate alarm, and on seeing Mrs. Na se.va , t I said, " Oh. Jenny! have you been into Mrs. Finch's room with any gruel since I was here last night ?" To which she replied " No, I had entirely for. gotten it." Juror—limy who is Mrs. Nash ?—She is the widow of the !ate Mr. Nash, the Common Counzilman. . . The Coroner said there was great neglect shown to the poor woman oil the port of Mrs. Sash's servant, in which the Jury acquietted. John Wilson, a surgeon, said he had seen the deceased woman, but not having opened ill , body, he could not speak post. tively to the cause of her tieath, but from the circumstances attend. ing her decease, he was of opinion she had perished from the incle mency of the weather. On the night in question the thermometer attend at 12, twenty degrees below freezing point. The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from the I. clemency of the weather. Yesterday an inquisition was taken at the sign of the Black liorv, Beckenham, on view of the body of Mr. Joseph Smith. On being viewed by the Jury it presented a most appalling spec tack, the bead being literally mangled to atoms. Mr. Richard Herbert deposed that the deceased occupied a farm contiguous to his. On AVethieeday last witness and the decease , ' were in the latter's cattle-pen examining some Alderney cows ; young and fierce bull cams in from the fields, and, unobserved by them, entered the pen, and instantly commenced a furious attack on witness and the deceased. Witness succeeded in leaping over the rails, anti by that means escaped, but the deceased, being A very heavy man, was incapable. and c msequently became exposit! to the bull's fury. Witness called nut for assistance, and threw btickbats and other missiles at the animal, but did not succeed in driving it from its unfortunate victim ; the deceased was on the ground. perfectly insensible, and bleeding pmfusely from the head and face. By this time two of the &weaned's men came to his assistance, and, with pitchforks, drove the en raged animal away, but it was too late. as the deceased had ceased to exist. The bull was the property of the deceased, and had once before placed his lite in danger ' by driving him against a wall. He was about 45 years of age, and has left a widow and family. James Beecham and Samuel Treadway. servants of the de ceased, confirmed the evidence of the last witness. The deceased's head was nearly flattened by the bull's hoofs. Or ce before the deceased had been knocked down by it, and rescued only just in time to save his life. The Jury returned a verdict " Accidental Death," with a dee. daad of the bull, which wag ordered to be slain. COAL MARKET, JAN. 18. Ships at Market. 231 Newevule - 131 Sunderland I Small Coal .
