Witness answered, in that case it was the fluty of every ind►vidual to oppose him. R. °fridge, keeper of the county gaol, hesitated to say whether he could believe the witness Barber ft 3 kis oath. Several witnesses deposed to Mr. Hatfield's peace able demeanour ; four swore that they saw the De fect-loot take a man into custody, who was beating people with a staff; and others that they heard bum 12,.t the mob disperse. The deposit►ons before the Magistrates were put in. when it appeared that Barber had sworn he saw Mr. Hatfield take the man into custody, whereas this day he swore to the contrary.

AND TIME CON• NUIIIIONBILI UNDER Tilt FRSCRENNAN RN- CLOSURB ACT, Respoadeisls. This appeal, which was entered at the Epiphany Sessions, ISIS, and has been respitesl from t u ne to time, at the intercession of the Respondents. was made against an order of the Commissioners fur t.topping up all ancient road in the parish of Freck cultism, leading from Worlington to I.leltam, by way of Beck Bridge, in consequence of which all persons ware driven through the village of Freck. enhain, an extra distance from Worlitigtots of one raspy and a quarter to any part of Isleharn, and more than a mile and ti half to the east end, where the Appellant's property is situate. The appeal occupied the Court till two o'clock on Tuesday, when the order fur stopping up the road was quashed, and the toed to be reinstated and confirmed. BURY Appellants, AND ROUGNAN Respondents. Tots was an appeal respites' from last Sessions, against an order made for the removal of George Collin and family from the parish of Roughen, to Bury. The question arose principally upon the construction of the Acts of Parliament, enclosing the two parishes, and of the awards relative to the respective boundaries. It appeared by the evidence that the pauper. about 35 years ago, lived in the house called Eldo-hosse, which stands to both pa. lashes ; and at that time the line of boundary ran through such part of the house as lett the bed in winch he slept partly in one parish and partly in the other ; but there could be no slonlit that the pew. per slept on that side of the bed which was then supposed by all parties to be in the parish of Kong. ham, by which parish he had been relieved for up. wards of 40 years. Previously to the Acts of En. closure, a door through which the inhabitants of Bury were accustomed to go is, perambulating their hounds, was removed in such a direction, as to leave the whole of the ',super's bed in Bury. By the award of the Commis. 1111 l ers under the Kong ham Enclosure Act, the boundary through the sew door was adopted, and this line was sanctioned by the award under the Bury Enclosure Act, and adopted in a subsequent peramboletion. There fore, the main question for the decision of the Court was, whether this was to have, so far a retrospective effect as to settle the boundary, or only a prosper. tive effect, leaving all previous questions to be de cided by the former line of boundary. The Appellants were then proceeding to exploits' the mistake arising from the alteration of the door. ■nd to call evidence to skew the former hounds, to whirl, the Respondents' Counsel objected, con tending that the awards had finally decided the boundary. The COURT held that the objection was good, and that such evidence was inacnisaible, and the orders were confirmed; but a cow was allowed fur the decision of the Court of King's Bench upon that point. KERSEY Appellants, AND STOKE kespondents. The principal question in this appeal was the value of the house and premises in winds the pauper lived, and, as usual, many witnesses were called.— Orders ()noodled. N EIVSIARKET Appellants. AND ERNING Respondents. An appeal against an order for the ►eurnval of a pauper named Gilson, from Exuing to Newmar ket. A clear settlement was proved in Newmarket, but a subsequent one being proved in the respoti deist parish of Etching, the orders were quashed. CAVENDISH ♦ND POSEINGVOIID. Orders quashed. John Archer was found guilty, and fined 100/. for an assault upon Mayes, the gamekeeper of W. Newton, E•q. M.P. upon his estates at Eldon. The Defendant was driving along the road, and shot at and wounded • partridge, which lie hi.d taken ; when the gamekeeper come up and de manded his name, which the Defendant then said was John Jones; an altercation ensued, and Mayes having caeght the partridge, the Defendant claim ed it and forced it from him, upon wind, Mayes collared hien, and the Defendant appeared to have hail the worst of the affray. Joseph liarrad was acquitted of a forcible entry upon the house and premises of Edmun•l Elsdesi, at Hundon, but found guilty of an assault upon him, for which he was fined lOs. and bound in his own recognizance in 100/. for a year to keep the peace.

Main 66 Tbe Logien* Megasion. l 7 published by Baldwin Craduek, sad boy.] 1 lady, well known in the fashionable circles of Paris, lately lost by death • relative who had been domiciliated with he► for some years, and who, being in some measure • depending, took all the drud gery of house-keeping off her hands. Though an Englishman, I happen to stand on the footing of a particular friend in this family ; and having, for I years past. been accustomed to wait upon the lady as her attendant to all parties abroad, her assistant when she received at home, and her aide de-camp when the orders to shopkeepers were of too delicate • stature to be trusted to a footman— my services, on this sorrowful occasion, were us totally expected, and as naturally offered. I *hall soy nothing of the order of the funeral ; every thing was comiucted with decency, and, at the same time, with a magnificence worthy of the ()potence sod respectability of the family, sod cal culated to impress on the minds of the spectators, the magnitude of the distress which the gloomy pomp represented by all the external embleme of woe. This painful ceremony finished, a monument to Cie deceased b-came the next oisiect of attention, and I was requested to. take the necessary measures fur having a switable one erected. In order thiit I might worthily execute this in teresting commission, I consulted my friend the Marquis of 8., who boil lately lost • consort whom he highly respected, but never lived with ; and to whose memory lie had erected a superb marble, which testified, with all the pathos of poetry, how much the heart of the ►urvivor was torn by the violent separation. On inquiry of this gentleman what tradesman had so well served him in his affliction, he said lie was unable to inform me, hot having yet paid the expenses of the funeral —he referred me, however, to Monsieur G --, the well-known friend of his lamented wife; who had taken, es he expressed it, all the burden of the thing on his own shoulders, and had kindly relieved his wounded feeling. by ►eeing that Ma dame received all those attentions which were due to her after death, as he hail, still more kindly, been unrentiningly assiduous aupres &elle, during the life-time of the ever-to-he-deplored lady. To Monsieur G-- I itrcordingly went, without delay, sod found hint dull and disposed to be silent. He said little of his lost friend, but seemed to think much ; and, as he appeared disinclined to entertain company, I quitted him as soon as he had furnish ed me with the address of our of the most cele brated Parisian dealers in monuments. i.e Smut- M. N. is the owner of • most magnifi cent establishment io this wry ; t•.te, order, and smiling politeness there reign; and, walking along the first gallery into which I entered, surrounded by angels and genii, •nd nymphs shining in the purest alabaster, conducted by a bowing employe, I thought to myself—" this is indeed smoothing the passage to the tomb." The &beery of the ten derest nerves would not be startled here by the mementos of death. I found it would be necessary to wait is little be. fore I could explain the purport of my visit, for the master had customers with him. Ills talents were well known, and no genteel person ■t Paris likely to want a monument. would think fur • moment of being furnished by any other than M. N. His improvements in his art had twen recorded in the Magazine of Intentions, and some of his finest if tides were exhilsied at the felts of French industry. as • proof of the increased consumption of the nation. Ax I advanced towards the great man, I found him ill() much occupied with a couple of gentlemen, dressed in deep mourning, to observe my approach ; and I was, I must confess, struck by the simple dignity with which hr conducted business. In the Almanac des Commands, it is said of Beau sillier., one of the master spirits of French cookery, who did things in hi► art which she world will not rrilliaglq let die—that with one of his sauces, a man, with a good appetite, might eat his own father! It would be doing injustice to Le Stew M. N. to limit his panegyric tarrying of his monuments, that a man might desire one fur his own father ; this would he affirming but little ; but, if I may speak from my own feelings. I would say, that no one ho enters this warehouse can quit it without I►eing seduced into dusiiing a monument for himself, nay stipulating that it should be finished off hand, and aent home without delay. When I came Hp to the party, I found the cue. tomers had but just commenced their bargain:— " I want a tomb.stane," said the elder of the two. " For men or woman, Sir ?" osked the master, with Lacedemoilian [nevi!), and Perisieu quick ness. 1, For a worthy gentleman who was rather ad vanced in life before he left it." " Have the goodness to step this way then ; the men shove fortv are to time right. Bachelor, or husband, Sit ?" _ " Our late friend was a married man." "billy well : Juba , be ready to ,hew the arti• cles for the married men abort forty; you must have finished by this time putting the private cost mark on the young women." " We wish a stone That shall enure.' the virtues of the deceased: his children greatly regret his loss." " A h ! that's quite another thing ; you ought to have mentioned at first that he was the father of a family : John, the gentlemen wish to see thefaditers effonsihes above forty—they're on the other side, you know, close to thefriends in need." The mourners proceeded with the attendant to. wards another wing of the extensive building, when I took advantage of the opportunity, thus offended me, by addressing the sassier. Firm I compliment ed him on his powers of classification, which I run. sidered as unsurpassed by those of Linua•us hisnoelf. •' Sir, 1 find the arrangement convenient," was the modest reply of the hewer or stone. a' 'Pone and trouble are saved to all parties. People by this means are always prepared for death, as one may my, and I avoid getting into scrapes with the living.__ Formerly.

I could not help expressing my admiration ors plan founded on such an exquisite knowledge of human nature, and apparently ted wish so ability and industry worthy of the excellence of the original ides. At the sante time, I expressed some doubt whether the variety of the demand could he fully met by anticipation. and inquired whether they were not, after all, often obliged to make to order ? " Seldom, Sir, seldom ; not but that we ow exposed to caprice and eccentricity sometime..

I readily availed myself of this invitation; and, as we proceeded, my interesting conductor left me nothing to desire in the way of expl.matiou. while I was lost in astonishment at the infinite sagacity which directed this great establighment. MANCHESTER, JANVAIIT 23. twat night, oboist ten o'cluck, a fire was discovered in the warehouse cif Messrs. Clays and Culfingworth, situated at the southerly side of Massideo.square.
