What remains, havretrn, is about two thousand feet in circumference, measured round the principal stems; bat the overhanging breathes cover a mach larger space. The cbie trunks of this tree, which is sine greatly exceed our Isrgest oaks, amount to three hundred and fifty; the smaller stems, forming themselves tato strong supporters, are more than three thousand, while every one of these is continually cassias oat new brasclies, and prudent roots, which in time, when they have fastened their fibres In the soil, will form unlike, and become the parents of a sew progeny, agreeable to the moute description of this wander of the vegetable world, draws by Milton : u The fig-tree, at lids day to Indians known In Malabar or Detests, spreads her arms, Branching so broad sad bag, that in the ground The betided twigs take rout, and daughters grow Altant the mother tree, a pillar'd shade, High overarched, and echoing walks between."

[Front the Portuguese of AL VOlireira] A girl was on the point of being hauged.mt Vienna; her youth and beauty made a great impressiom upon the heart of one of the spectators, who was ■ Neapolitan, a middle aged man, bat exceuively ugly. As he had but a few mo ments to make up his mind, he ran immediately to the place of execution, and 'lettering his intention to marry the criminal, demounted her pardon, according to the custom of the conutry. The pardon was granted, on condition that the girl was not averse to the match. He accordingly ad dressed her in three terms:—" Madame. I am a Gentleman of some property, and 1 now wish, for the first time, that I were a King, only that I might offer you a stronger proof of my attachment."—" Alas! Sir," replied the girl," I am fully 'eligible of your affection and generosity ; bat I am not mistress over my own heart, and I cannot belie my sen timents. tifortimately, they control my fate, and I prefer the death with which I am threatened, to marrying so ugly a fellow as you are!"

Shindy after ibis, the officer having Richardson in custody, was met by Marley, who collected a crowd, and made a bold attempt to rescue Itichardeon. The father of Richardson addressed the Lord Mayor, and said that his eon could have been but a few minutes at the fair at the time the alleged offence was committed, and he h o r n thence went on to argue the improbability of his won having been guilty. He was stopt by the Lord Mayor, who said that the evidence on the other side wits direct and punitive. He regretted to ate a man of the decent appear ance of Richardson in such a situation, but the opposition that the officers of justice bad lately met in the myth' of their dangerous and difficult duties, called loudly for in terference—they were entitled to every protection of the law, nor could those who wantonly assaulted them expect to escape with impunity.—Both the Prisoners were remanded. Two other persons, of the names of Webster and Doran were brought tip, charged with assaulting one of the Lorj Mayor's officers. The officer stated, that his attention was called to a par licular part of the fair, where persons appeared to he guar relfing, and be was abont to disperse the crowd, when the prisoner Mean struck him a violent blow ; Webster also ill treated him.

OBTAINING A CARRIAGE UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. Yesterday livery Lloyd and James Fat, two machismo, were brought up from Maryle.bone watch-house, charged by Mr. Thomas George Kitts, belonging to the firm of Irwin and Kitts, coach and harness-makers, of Mary-le- Wire-Orem, with having obtained a valuable carriage from off their premises, under the follow* circumstances Mr. Kitts being sworn, stated, that on Tuesday morning last the Prisoner, Lloyd, called at his house, and being in troduced, he stated that he was a coachman in the employ of Mr. Coricanuun, M.P. by whose orders he had come there to hire a carriage tor him fur the space of five months, and he said his merrier reorder! at No. 63, in York-buildings, Mary-le-bone, soil that he had stables in Dorset-mews. Mr. Kitts agreed to let him have the carriage the same day, at 6/. 6s. per month, and shortly after the Prisoner came with a horse rund took it away with bins. Suspicion arising in Mr. Kitts mind that all was not correct, he made it his lousiness to inquire in York-buildings, when he ascertained that no such person as Mr. Concantion resided in the street, and there were only 33 houses therein. He then proceeded to Llorset.mews, where, can inquiry, hr found that his carriage WAS concealed in the coach house of a Mr. Poole, who informed him that the Prisoner Fill was the per son who brought it there; he shortly after came up and said be had pot it iu at the request of a friend; be procured an oft cer and gave him in custody, for receiving the property. He ascertained that Fitt was coachman to Miss White, of No. 50, Baker.street, Portnsan-square, whom becalled upon, when it turned out that it was one of her horses with which the carriage was brought from his premises. She gave him as iufainuus character, and said that compassion only in duced her to keep him in her employ. He afterwards traced the Prisoner, Lloyd, when he found that he was unemployed, and had no substantial means of procuring his living, and ascertained that he had a few days back disposed of a cha riot, which he bail no doubt but he obtained under similar circuisstauces. This plan has been practised fur some time past. Gregory deposed, that he lives in Harley-mews, and purchased a chiriot from the Prisoner, Lloyd, in Dorset. mews; he gave him 30 guineas fur it ; Colonel Brickley was on his horse near the spot, and the Prisoutr said that the Colonel was his master, soil authorised him to sell it for bins. Wituess did not know it was stolen. The Prisoner gave him a receipt with a false name. Colonel Buckley proved that he was the pecans who was as horse at the lime , and the Prisoner knew bins by sight, but was nut a servant of lair, Mr. Poole, the owner of the coach-house, deposed, that be ga , .! the Primulr leave to put the carriage is his house. The Prisoner, Lloyd, positively declared, that Mr. Con. Bannon met him is Portman-square, hired him as his coach man, and gave him orders to agree for the carriage. He told hint be lived at 83, York..bsildings, and he kaew no more of it. The chariot which ►e sold to Gregory was the property of his late noisier, Mr. Marsh, the High Sheriff for Middlesex, by whose orders he did so; but he was gone to a foreign country. Fitt, in his derriere, said, that he merely obliged Lloyd by lending hiss the horse, and taking the carriage to Poole's .stable. The Magistrates remanded the Prisoners till a future day, when there is so doubt but they will be identified by sere. rat respectable coadistakers, who have been defrauded of their property is the same amasser. COMBINATION AMONG THE JOURNEYMEN BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS. James 'Villiers's, a shoemaker, wan brought up from St. Anne's watch-house, charged by Me. Watts, boot sad sbum maker, of Leicester-Selds, and Bentiock street, Subo, with leaving entered into a combination with several other per sons for an advaace of wages. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Watts anal several other wituesses„ that in the month of May last the men in his employ conspired with each other, and struck from their work fur a rise of wages; they held meetings in the neigh bourhood, and entered into a resolution not to return to work until a compliance to their demands was the result. Three men, named H olines, Cummins, and Lloyd, were dele gated to present a list of prices to Mr. Watts, for the pur pose of kuowing whether they met with his consent. It hap pening in that part of the season when the work was very brisk, he complied; but latterly, finding that the exorbitant advance, which was three-pence in every pair of Ladies' shoes, and an equal advance on hoots, he found it impossible to continue it, on which the Prisoner, with others, placed a strung guard over his premises, and insulted and heat every person who ventured in or near the place. They would inquire what their business was, and if they came fur work they were maltreated; and if they bad brought it home, they were made to take it bark again; and customers were told that it was ais illegal shop, and would not be allowed to enter it.

The Prisoners were then aria.gited on ,the charge of uttering. and no era. defter being offered, they were Acquitted. lat. Howarth, J.

Lucu Wilson, was charged with Uttering forged Bank notes, knowing them to be forged. This was a capital indictment. The evidence given to prove the guilty knowledge of the Prisoner, seemed an extension of the circumstances Usually adduced to prove the knowledge of the utterer, namely. that of having uttered about the same time other forged notes, which has seldom exceeded a few days. But the note on which the present indictment was founded, was alleged to have been uttered by the Prisoner on the 122 d of May, and the Only other note proved to he forged was not paid until the 14th of July; the payment of other notes, suspected to be forged by the Prisoner, was also proved to have taken place in the interim. The main fact of the uttering of the first note rested eft tirely on the credit due to a Joseph Lockett, who had watched her movements, " out (as he stated) of mere curiosity," but who had afttqwerds been em ployed by the police to watch her. The Prisoner was not apprehended until the 14th of July, though the police were immediately apprised of her having paid the first note. Baron Wows, in stating the evidence, said the Jury were not to presume that the notes, which in the opinion of some of the witnesses were forged, were really forged : these persons might be mis taken, but the Jury were to confine their attention to those which were proved to be forged. His Lordship made many observations in favour of the Prisoner, and the Jury, after conferring for a few moments, acquitted the Prisoner. ATROCIOUS BURGLARY. George Howarth, Joins Tattersall, and Peter Eastwood, were charged with burglariotosly break into the dwelling-house of Mr. Greavem, of Accring ton, with an intent to steal, and also with stealing therefrom a variety of articles enumerated in the indictment ; they were also further charged with stealing with force and violence, and by means of putting the Prosecutor in fear f his life, a quan tity of silver and copper coin from his pence, he being in the said dwelling-house. This was a burglary of a roost audacious descrip tion. We shall state, as briefly as possible, the leading features of the case from the evidence of the Prosecutor. Mr. Abraham Greaves is a calico-printer. and lives at the Plantation Mill at Accrington, in the parish of Whalley; his house consists of four rooms on the second and third story of a building, in which the business of a calico-printer was carried on ; his family consisted of himself. his wife, two suns, and two dsugliters ; the only room they had on the ground-floor was the buttery or dairy, all the rest of the ground-floor being used for the purposes of the business. Witness and his fa mily retired to rest between nine and ten o'clock at night on Sunday the 11th of July, having previously fastened the door.' and windows; he was awoke between 12 and one by a noise, as if an iron chain had been drawn through the handle of the door; he immediately got out of bed and went to the window, where he aaw two men standing at the front of the window, and another man coming out of the counting-house window, which is situate at the extremity of the building ; he could net distinguish their facer. Witness then dressed himself and went down stairs, and attempted to open the door s but he found that it was fastened on the outside, and that he could not open it more than a few inches; he could see that there was a chain across the door; he returned up stairs with the intention of leaping out of the window, but lie found the distance from the ground too great ; he then lighted a candle and went to the dairy window, with the in tention of breaking it open and getting out that way, but the window was immediately assailed with stones, and he thought it prudent instantly to re tire : he put out the candle, locked the door, and returned to his lodging-room, where all his family were assembled. Stones continued to be throws at the end window of the house, by the mew wit the outside, and he heard one of them say, thee, if thou does not give up thy keys and thy cub, we will take thy life and thy family's." They then attempted to break open the door by an iron crow s but without success ; but they soon forced their way through the dairy window t he then heard • voice say, come in three. all four, all five; d—n it, never mind watching." They then, by means of some matches, procured a light, and rummaged the house all round ; broke open his writing-desk, and took out the drawers. In this search they found the key of the printsworks and counting-house, the door of which they opened : lie soon alter heard them heating upon the iron-safe with hammers, but they soon desisted, and returned into the house. and came up stairs to his room door, when one of them said, " it, give us thy keys and thy cash, or we will take thy life and that of thy family. Witness made no answers and they attempted to force the door. Witness then said that he had no cash. and that John Kenion, the book-keeper, kept the key of the safe. Witness fearing they would force the door, thought it prudent to open it, when three men came in. The Prisoner Tat tersall had three lighted candles in one hand, and • poker in the other. Eastwood had r kavelock (iron crow), and the third man, Howarth, had an iron cleaver in his hand. They asked him for MI cash; he told them he had only a few shillitngs, whikh he would willingly give them t he gave the money to Tattersall, who afterwards searched his pockets. IVittiess told them that if they would go down stairs they might take my thing there was in the house. if they would not injure them. After some blacksmith's break the 'Safe, but without nee . es% and they . 1-4 turned once more to the bruise and demanded the key of the safe. Witness made the smile Orrwrs that he had done before, that John Keseion had the key. Howarth then pulled out a knife, and said "he would cut all the childresi'S throat's, and sl3 him (the witness) up; ii he did nor give up the key:" and he waved the knife In a thieateuing manner two or three times. lipon thisolie of his WM, said, if y-u will not kill my father twill fetch the 'key from John Kenion's. This appeared to satisfy them th the wet. nears had not the key, and they went away witliont doing them cloy violence. Wilmette proceeded to State that they afterwards succeeded in breaking the safe to pieces and took out all its content.; there we r e only one 11. note and about 20.. in silv,r, b u t they burnt all the papers that were in the safe: thew were found burning after they went tope comettee k _ house when the thieves were did lint quit the premises until three o'clock in the snor,l - jog.

I saw a part of the articles afterwards. Mrs. Baldwin re-called.—l found a crow and hat near tl►e house, mid delivered them to Joseph Nadin. Joseph Nadia called. lam deputy Constable of Manchester. I saw th►e Prisoritts at the New Bailey, on the 12th August. I heard Hooky say, on the Ilth, that he, Bolton Jens, John *lrby, ■nd the Black (Johnson was not by at the tune), broke into Mrs. Baldwin's house. The servant made a noise, end the Black left his hat, and John Maltby, the crow. He said, we divided the things we took on bridge. The Black and 1 had 12 spoons for our share. We gave them to that d—d old rogue, Miller, to pawn, but he neither brought the spoons nor the money back. Ile said something about some things being hid in a ditch. I went there with him, bat there was no thilsgs there: j.reteived ■ hat and ■ crow on the morning after the robbery from Mrs. Baldwin. I chewed them to Johnson, and asked him whose hat that was? lie said it waa his, and the crow was M'lrby's. I asked him what be had for his share ? He said Hooky and I toad ten or eleven, or twelve spoons between us.

Judge W•RI1811. previously to pronouncing Judgutrot, addressed them in forcible but feeling latigh‘ge. Hr mid they had been indicted on a charge of burglary, in the dwelling-hoisse of Eleanor Baldwin. and steal. lug ttiereout plate and other articles. and found guilty of that charge. There were four other M.. dictinents against them ; but with those the Attune ney-General did not think it Deces.ary to proceed. It was clear the Prisoners bid long made a trade and traffic in nocturnal depredations. and it was the duty of the Court to procure for the public peace. able sleep in their beds. A striking example must therefote be made. The law affixed the sentence of death to crimes like their' ; arid before he pro. Pounced upon them that awful sentence, be coo ceited it his duty to inform them that their days were numbered. that the period of their lives was short. their hours iis this world errs but few : its • 'mothered with the deader He "saki, therefore, employ them. f
