Since the partition of the celebrated forest of which this domain forms a pert, several considerable tracts or namented by the peculiar scenery of Needwood, anti redeemed from tl►e havoc of the spoiler," have been added to the old enclosure, thus render ing it altogether a most lively and delightful resi dence. This favoured spot is situated on the brow of an extensive valley, through which a small brook winds its broken way till it plisses Yoxsll Lodge. The whole scene is thus descr►bed iu The Full of Need wood " Yet Lia.hrook prattles, in her pride, Of ancient scenery on her sits, Calls, where her beauties still prevail, Ti Byrk ley bowers and Yount!

In addition to the natural attractions of this in teresting scene►y, every preparation had been made by the hospitable family of Mr. Sneyd for the re ception due to their numerous and distinguished guests; and as the splendid equipages arrived, they were announced by the notes of the bugle, and wel comed by the fine band belonging to the Stafford shire militia. The archery ground was the lawn in front of the house, and we were much gratified by observiag the excellent accommodations provided for the spectatort, as well as for the Sociel of Bow men ■nd their immediate friends. Independently of the refreshments spread out in the tents pitched fur the con►enience of the society, hung and ale were liberally distributed to those who had come merely to witness the rivalry of the day; and as the weather was particularly fine, the whole scene was its a high degree beautiful ■nd animating. Three sets of targets were placed at suitable distances, and the graceful amusement of the bow was continued with great spirit till half--prat four.

One hundred and thirty of the Archery Society and their friends par took of this elegant repast, and were regaled with all the delicacies of the season, and • rich *apply of wines, fruits, &c.

The numerous company comprised all the rank, beauty, and fashion of the neighbourhood. The sociality and animation which had pervaded the fo-. mer meetings were, if pogible, increased on the present occasion.

The Republic of Colombia has to deplore the Noma one or her most distinguished servauts in the person of Don Jost Tihurcis Echeverrin, who died on the 12th instaist,at Dieppe. where be hail removed from Paris for the benefit of sea. bathing. Mr. &lamina was 35 years utit; be was born in the city of Maraelibo, nod his family isof the first distinction sad °potence in that city; be was educated at the Royal University of Merida, where he obtained the degree of Doc tor in Law, and afterwards practised as an Advocate in the Supreme Court, called Royal Audieweia, and all the other Courts in Santa Fe de Bogota. He distinguished himself much in his profession. When the Revolution took place in 1810, be male the utmost efforts in the cause of indepen deuce, nod was at that time appointed President of several Courts established by the new Government, and obtained many other highly important commissions. lye had reorient* himself so eonapicimos by the taknt, activity, and pat.ititiam he displayed in the discharge of his duties, that when General Walls, became master of New Granada and Venezuela is 1816, be offered large rewards toe the apprehension of Mr. Eelieverrin, who was obliged to take refuge in the mountains, where he rem ‘ined about three years, and suffered so much from the climate and severe privations to which he was ex posed, that he contracted the illness which has now so pre. nsatorely deprived the Republic of his eminent services. Mr Echeverri• was the personal friend of the Liberator, Bolivar, and was selected, with Mr. Weeny', to negotiate with the Mother Country ; but on the impolitic refusal of the late Ministry to treat with Colombia, he procreded Paris, and, with the exception of • short visit to his friend, Dote Loin Lopez Mendes, lo London, had resided there ever elute. Mr. Echeverrits was lately appointed, with Mr. Re. veers, to succeed Don Francisco Antonio Zes, as the Rrprcv eetitative of Colombia in Europe; and having received offi. eial intimation of this appolutineot was the only lesson of his remaisitng in • climate so little suited to his constitution. He may therefore be said to base sacrificed himself tau the altar of patruaison. _ -y: THE FuNDS —The markets yesterday were re. markably steady, and very little Aping : Consols, 811 i ; Consols for Account, Slit; New 4 per Cents.

James Simpson Maddock:, s young Frenchman, woe indicted fin defrauding Henry Belfry of nine shillings, uoder false pretences, *a thew f of Sell ieluber. Mr. Henry Bailey stated, that he lived with Dr. Young, in Welbeck-street. The Prisoner came to Dr. Young's on Monday last, and brought with him two bottles of Eau de Cologne, which he said the Doctor had ordered from Mr. Johnatori b s, the perfuther, in Oxfbrdoitreet, and that be, the Pri soner, was to be paid Os. for them. The witness paid him the money, and he gave him a receipt for it. In the course of Monday the witness called at Mr. Johnston's, and found the bottles had trot been sent by him, and that he had several applies 'lour of a similar nature. On Tuesday morning lie saw the Prisoner in 'Queen Anne-street ; he tapped him on the shoulder, and told him that Dr. Young had not ordered the Eau de Cologne, on which the Prisoner said it was a mistake, and re turned him the 91. He then took the Prisourr to Vt'el bec L. st ree t, and from t hence to br r. Joh uston'a io Oafurd-street. The Prisoner had a greatnum ber of bottles with hilt, when he met him on Tues day morning. In 1111/Wef to • question put by the CHAtau•tr, he said he had nut loomed the two bottles to the Prisoner. The CHAIRMAN—" So he has lOst his Eau de Co logne. and you have indicted him for a fraud, al though you got your money beck." The witness said he did it at the request of Mr. Johnston. A person in the employ of Mr. Johnston staled, that that gentleman had several notices given him of persons being defrauded in the same way as the last witness, which was very injurious to him, as a tradesman, as his name was always mentioned, and the article sold was merely water, with a little of the essence of Law de Cologm put into it. When the Prisoner was bought to Mr. Johnston, he had a bottle open, which c on t a i ne d rea l E au de Cologne. but the corked bottles were merely filled with as ter and coloured with the essence. The uncorked bottle, he supposed, was used by the Prisoner as a sample. There were several winder chetgesegeiorit the Prisoner, as that of De. Young's, lent it was thought that one indictment would be sufficient. The CHAIRMAN —" Then you have taken the worst case to ground your iadoctasent on, fur tf e Prosecutor has lost nothing. He then observed to the Jory, that he had no doubt but the Prisoner was a bad fellow, hut at present there was no iodictmei t against him which could be supported, it was there fore their duty to acquit him. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Floe Guilty, and the Prisoner was discharged. ASSAULT ON A CHILD.
