(From an American Paper.) The following curious advertisements will amuse our readers. The wife seems to have rather the best of the argument, and the punning terms in which she has chosen to express her ideas, as well as the comical nature of some of the ideas them selves, are very diverting. " NOTlCE.—Whereas my wife, Catherine Thoran, has this day left my bed and board without any just cause of provocation; this is therefore toforbid any person harbouring or tru , ting her on my account, as I will pay no debts hercafftir of her contrao ing. "Mobile, Sept. 22." " JEREMIAH THORAN." " To THE PUBLlC.—liaving long since deter mined to quit my present husband, Jeremiah Tho m, I this day acted in accordance to my resolution, and left him, as I trust, forever, unless Heaven, in its wrath, may condemn ruse to his company in an other state.—l don't mean in another of the United States, nor in a holy state, for in such a state I never lived ; but in a hereafter state. My husband threat, ened to advertise me, if I left him, and I presume he will not leave his threat unaccomplished, and, therefore, I make this statement that the public may be furnished with both sides of the question at the same time, and be thereby able to judge between us ; for it must be known, that my reputation is very dear to me, inasmuch as it cost me a _great deal of trouble to get what little I am possessed of. " The house he took me to. when we were first married he had told me so many stories about that I thought it had at least, three etorie.s, and it all was a mere story. He had promised me fine furniture, and when I pined for it he got me a pine table, and beat me with the legs; he had not a chair in the . house, and never even furnished me with a stool, except the stool of repentance. I never drank froM a cup of his, except the cup of sorrow. There was not a window in his house, except in winter, and then there was wind—oh ! enough._ There was not a sheet in his house fit for a winding sheet for one who had died in a fit, and he was always complain ing I.took airs upon myself, when he is the father of every heir I have. " It must be perceived that I have been a shock ingly abused woman. Only last Saturday night he came reeling and fiddling up to me and requested to know what he should send out to the shop and get for supper for me and the children, and to last over Sunday. I told hint a cent's worth of snuff, a biscuit, a candle, and-a pint of rum. Now, I al most Eve upon stuff, anti he refused it ; and it is too much for flesh and blood to bear. My blood is turned to ink, and there's ' hardly an-atom of my anatomy,' and I do believe, if I was dead and pro perly dried, an old-fashioned snuff-taker might take my remains at a pinch. He got in a Ina about the snuff,Nnd was just as ill-bred concerning the bread. He said no light woman should have a candle, but should go to heti without one; and in respect to the rum alone was willing to yield the pint. " He probably will say I left his bed and board. I assure the public he had nothing for a bed but a board; and that is no better than lying out when I was on the point of lying-in. No longer ago than yesterday he promised to buy me a soft-straw bed to lie upon ; but I found his promise all straw, or rather hint all promises and no straw, and all about the lying on a soft straw bed was a hard lie on his foul tongue. Since.his ashes must make strong lye, when he is condemned to be hung, and, to give the devil his due, the time must be near at hand, I ad vise him to sell his carcase in anticipation to some soap-boiler. " He may say he will pay no : debts of my con tracting. He is a false loon for this insinuation, if lie does. I have always enlarged and swelled every debt I owed as much as in my power. I was never known to diminish or contract one in my life, and with this not one of my creditors will charge me, to judge of their late reluctance t 9 charge me with ether art:eles. 4 In iuoclusion, like - a dutiful wife I have left no .stone unturned to please my husband; but I have, .finally, borne with him till it is past endurance; and as there is a hole even in the holy lock of wedlock, and the legislature have a key to it, I am determined to be divorced. " Respectfully, CATHERINE THORAN. " Mobile county, Sept. 22." There is a project on foot at Paris of forming a cemetety after the manner of the ancient pyramids, c Table of containing 5,000,000 bodies. Curious DISCOVERY.—Ltst week, as the workmen were making some alterations in the house lately occupied by Mr. APerman IltrArtoN, in High Ouxegate, they found an implement of polished bone, in form some what resembling- a spear or arrow-head, about three inches in length ; and also two other polished bones, about eight inches long, made into the form of a skate, and turned up at the end, which might be supposed to extend lreyond the toe. At the thicker end of these bones is a hole perforated, anti the end is formed as if to receive a cord or wire to attach it to some other apparatus; but there being no apparent means of fastening the other end to the foot, we are inclined notwithstandiq their form, to suppose that they have not been intended for the purposes of sliding. It may be remembered, that in digging for the foundation of the new houses erected in Davygate, on the ancient site of Davy-hall, several pins were found which were made of polished bone, together with other implements, which had in all probability been used in some work or manufacture. May not these, therefore, likewise have been put in requisition for mere useful ser vices than the offensive one of annoyance, or the, amusing one Of skating York Courrpit. LAWS RESPECTING BILLS OF EX CHANGE IN. RUSSIA. The following was . sent yesterday morning by the Russia Company to the Baltic Coffee-house : " An Ukase of his Imperial Majesty to the Di recting Senate, dated 4th September, states— " That the Minister of Finance having propnscd same additional regulations in the use of stamp pa pers for bills drawn on foreign countries, the mca sure was examined by the Imperial Council and approved of, as facilitating transactions in foreign bilk, and securing their.validity. In consequence, We order, Ist. That bills issued within the empire on foreign commercial houses shall he written on legal stamps, and the price thereof be reduced to one half of that used for inland bills,.viz., Foreign bills may be mitten on a 3-ruble stamp to the amount of 2,000 rubles, instead of 1,000 rubles ; and on a 6-ruble stamp the sum of 6,000 rubles, instead of 3,000 rubles, and so on. " 2dly. Bi!ls remitted from abroad to merchants in this cirwire shall be accepted on a stamp m con formity to the amount, and according to the above scale. " 3dly. In consequence cf this reduction, all bills drawn in Russia on other countries shall be ,written on legal stamps, and - the following penalties are to be levied for not conforMing thereto : " If it is discovered, by whatever means, that bills drawn in the empire have been written on un stamped paper, or on stamps of less value than the law requires, then, besides rendering the whole transaction invalid, the person so transgressing shall be fined in ten times the amount of the value of the stamped paper required, or in ten times the differ ence of the stamp used. " The same refers to foreign bilis when accepted on the original draft, or with 2d, 3d, or 4th bills, without the first. " Brokers and notaries admitting the drawing or accepting of bilk without stamps, shall be forthwith deprived of their situations; and if the stumps are of less value than requited, they shall be fined in ten times the amount of the difference. " This Ukase shall be put in force from the 25th clay of September, 1829." EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

There was only a moderate show of New Wheat,. and not so..much disposition manifested to- purchase ria,tle week, the late wet weather hai caused the . Wheat to gfai way in condition, and the general 'runs to-day were soft and damp ; the best samples supported late prices ; if sales were pressed on other qualities lower prices most have been the consequence.

The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Turn pike Trusts North of the River Tharnzs, held v. public meeting yesterday at their offices in White hall-place, for the purpose of letting by public sale the several Trusts, pursuant to the Act of Parlia ment passed in 3,1 of Geo. IV. for regulat►ng Turnpike Roads. The meeting was fully attended, and at 12 o'clock Lord Lowther took the chair. The first lot offered was the Lea Bridge Tolls, forming the 16th district of the Metropolitan Roads. The COMMISSIONUIS informed the bidders that there was no alteration in the bars. These tolls last year were let for 2,0851.; they were now put up at 1,800/., and Mr. Levy, the well-known toll-collec tor, led the bidding', und, after a very smart com petition, the lot was knocked down at 1,995/. being 901. less than last •ear's rent. The second lot com prised the toil" on the Kilburn or Edgware-road, with that part of the rolarfebone roads from the carriage bridge over the Regent's Canal. The taxed price of these was 1,2001., sod they were knock, d down at 1,3001., being 2564 under the sum obtained ast year. The third Trust put up was denominated it e Lower Uxbridge-road. These tolls were put up at 2,8001. Before the bidding commenced, Mr. Levy said it would be but fair and candid, on the part of the Commissioners, to inform the public what these tolls produced last year. The CO . MMISSIONERS having consulted together, overruled the question ; but, as the biddings pro ceeded, the question was again repeated. The bid dings proceeded briskly until 3,1051. were offered, when an additional Si. were offered ; but it was contended that the bid was too late, the glass hav ing run out. The lot was "gain put up, and, after an hour and a half's competition, the lot was knocked down at 3,400/. The fourth lot comprised the Brentford-bridge tolls, Cranford-bridge tolls, and the senral roads on the Isleworth trust. They were put up at 9,600/., and were knocked down at 7,970/, The Harrow Trusts and other lots put up brought nearly last year's prices. The sale was not ovcr till long past fire o'clock. The produce generally was much less than last year. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yestectlay afternoon, at two o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Thos. STIRLING, Coroner,, at the Blue Lion, Gray's-inn-road, to inquire trucking the death of Jane Violetta Nottley, aged 20, a very fine voting woman, who destroyed herself by taking oxalic acid. Ann Davis, aged 16, living at No. 102, Guii. ford -street, Russell-square, sworn—The deceased was my fellow -servant, and corresponded with a young man, out of the house, to whom she almost 'daily sent letters, which I wrote for her. Sha con tinued to correspond w;th the young man until she left the service of Mr. Clewes, of Guilford -street, this day fortnight ; since which time I have.not seen her. She was dismissed from her situation for some misconduct. I know nothing of the death of the deceased; but in one of her last letters which I wrote. for her, she reproached the young tran with unkind behaviour towards her, and said that "if he in the least slighted her, a watery grave should be her doom." I heard her one day say, on seeing a razor in her drawer, " I have a razor when I wish to put an end to myself." Deceased and my fellow servant at once exclaimed, "God forbid I should do that." When I have been out with the children at walk, and with the deceased, we have met the young man with whom she corresponded frequently in company with other females. His name is Wm. 13elsham, and I believe he follows the business of a gardener, but he was out of employment all the time the deceased knew Iti.n. Rose Anna Lewington, of No. 6, Wilson's-place, Gray's-inn-road, sworn—The deceased lodged in the same house with me, after leaving her place; and the man Belsham lodged in a top room of the same house. I did not observe whether they went out frequently together. On Saturday night the deceased's sister desired me to make some gruel for the deceased, who was unwell, and I did so. When I handed the gruel to the deceased, she went, as I thought, to her box, and afterwards got into bed.— I then left the room, and was called in a few minutes after by the deceased's sister, who exclaimed, " For .God's sake go up to her." When I went up the deceased appeared sick and looked very ill. I asked her if she had taken anythimr. Deceased replied she had. In answer to another question, she said she had not purchased it that day—she had it in-her possession. She then exclaimed " Oh, my. mother!" and" Pray fur me." Deceased did not .say what she had taken. A medical man was instantly sent for, and the deceased was alive when he came, but she expired in leis than half an hour. The de. ceased had previously been low in her spirits. Isaaellorson, a lodger in the same house, slept with Belsham, who about half past nine o'clock On Saturday night suddenly leaped out of hed, exclaim ing, "Jane has poisoned herself." He shortly after returned to ‘ bed, saying, " she had injured herself," and went out to fetch her father and mother. Had heard quarrek between the deceased and Belsham. A ring bad been purchased for their marriage. . William Belsham, who appeared to be ahout nineteen years of age, was here brought before the Jury, and being cautioned by the Cormier, did not know of the deceased's intention to poison herself, but feared something of the kind would baopen. The Jury, after a brief address from the Coro ner, returned a .verdict—" That the deceased poi soned herself while under th-e iaduence of temporary COAL MAR Adair's 31 0 Clavering 33 0 - Dean's Prirar05e.........».....30 0 liebtourn Main 31 0 linty 3 4, 6 Killingwerth l 9 Kenton West 13) .

We would ish to draw the attention of those who tem, by a fair competition, remedy the evil, to the unreasonable prices which the public in London arc paying for these two necessary articles of life. Of cheese, it is well known that none of a good quality is to be obtained under 91 a pound, and that, at many shops, Is. a pound, and even more, is charged foran article no better; while, at the great fairs, such as needn't!, Weyhill, &c., from which the London market is principally supplied, 4d., 5d., and at most 6d. a pound has been obtained for prime dairies, which, after allowing a large profit, would make 7d. and Bd. a pound the highest prices which 'ought to be paid by the consumer. At Newbury fair, last week, about 60 toes of cheese were pitched, which fetched the following prices :—Half Coward, 20s. to 265. (not 3d. a pound) ; thin, 265. to 345.; Loaf, 40s. to 465. per cwt.; and at these prices much was left unsold. At Romsey fair, in the same week, the prices were, for Skim Cheese, 18s. to 225.; Half Coward, 30s. to 425.; White Somerset and North Wells, 40s. to 455.; Red Somer.ct 50s. to 58s. Per butter, London families have been paying winter prices during the whole summer ; 16d. per pound having been the price at which most families are served, though the same article (dilly fetches ed. end Bd. a pound at many plaoes within forty and fifty miles of the metropolis. The prices, perhaps, are—indeed we know they ruinously low to the agriculturist; but if they are thus low to the producer, why th - ey should continue thus high to the consumer, is an anomaly which we have not the skill to um avel.

At a meeting of the Astronomical Society on Friday last, the President (Mr. South) announced that he fool succeeded in purchasiug two of the largest object-glasses that had ever been made. One of these was of nearly twelve ladies in diameter, end had already been mounted as a telescope at Paris : the other above thirteen inches. it is well known that the Royal Society has been, for a long time past, endeavouring to procure glass to be made in this country for such purposes, but without suc cess ; and Mr. South has all along been of opinion that it would be much better to procure the article ready made to our hands, than to waste so much time and money itt.useless efforts—particularly when it is well known that glass of a much superior kind was trade on the Continent than has hitherto been manufactured in England. The object-glass in question was mounted as a telescope at, tie Roya' Observatory at Paris, and the French Government had expended .500!. sterling in the purchase of a stand for it, so colossal are its dimensions; but they were too parsimonious to purchase the object-glass itself, which belonged to the optician who made it. A private individual, therefore, has in the mean time stepped in and run away with the prize, which the French Government pretended they could not afford to pay for; and it is now about to be set up in Mr. South's observatory at Kensington—cer tainly one of the most splendid things of this kind, and one of the roost powerful telescopes in this or any other country. This telescope was so cele brated at Paris that parties from the 'I huileries used to be made to visit it soon after every new moon, when the weather was favourable—that being an object which most generally attracts admiration. Those parties can now only look through an empty tube. Mr. South paid a just tribute of respect to our Government (and particularly to the Duke of Wellington), who afforded him every feciliEy for bringing -these object-glasses into the country, not only free from examination at the Custom-house, but also free from all duty. PARIS COURT OF ASSIZES. CASE OF MR. ANDREWS. We gave some time ago an account of the adven tures of an Irishman, who, having arrived in Paris in June last, without knowing the language, was conducted to a house of ill-fame, and there was kept till his expellees amounted to 1,500 francs (or 601.), about 450 of which were for champagne. In this abode, or at his ledgingss to which he was brought in a state of intoxication, he lost bank-notes to a much huger amount, fig the stealing of which Begin (his landlord) and his wife are about to receive their sentence. Andrews, who comes forward, not as a criminal prosecutor, but as a civil party, demanding his property, appeared on Friday before the Court of Assizes to prefer his claim. His entrance into the Court is said to have excited a lively curiosity. He is described as a man about forty, a merchant, usually residing in London,—a man of spare figure, of bent form . , trembling on long and thin legs, and apparently worn out by long excesses. He passel the hall in the midst of all the spectators, whose looks were directed upon him, without any indica tion that his temper or his phlegm was in the least disturbed. Ile took his place beside his advocate, M. Theodore Perrin. The President interrogated separately the husband and wife Begin, who de clared that they only obeyed the .commands of Mr. Andrews in depositing in the hands of third parties some of the money which this Irishman freely spent with them for his own pleasure. They !elated some of the occurrences which took place on the occasion of his entering the house. He arrived about mid night on the 7th of June, with a woman of the town called the Polish girl. He sat up and drank till two o'clock in the morning; Begin was afraid that he would not pay : but the Polish girl said, " Fear nothing.; it is I that pay ; that is my man here." Begin added that Andrews stayed voluntarily at her house; that she registered his arrival, received his passport and a roll of paper, which she afterwards found was bank-notes. An drews went down in the middle of the night to search for —, and it was said that he was run ning off; but the landlady brought him back. In the morning he spoke of his notes. Begin showed them to him. They amounted to 67,000 francs in 11 notes. The Irishman wished to change one of them for 1,000 francs. Begin said that he went with it to aM. Dagiucourt, to get it changed. The latter having jested with him on the subject of his wealth, received. for answer, that the Irishman offer ed the note for Begirt's daughter. Dagiricourt on this consented to change some of the notes, but two days afterwards returned in company with his brother-in-law, a M. Boursier, to say that the notes were stolen. Andrews was then heard,:who re counted the story of his meeting with time woman of the town—described how he was carried to Begin's —how after dinner, he could with difficulty walk— how he was kept at Begin's against his will—how he was deprived of his clothes, and compelled to exchange bank-notes for 50,000 francs, of which he was robbed to the amount of 17,500. The Presi dent of the Court asked Mr. Andrews why he did not not call out of the window ? The plaintiff re plied, because he wished to escape without being known (making use of the word reconnaisance, which means gratitude for being known). Various wit nesses were then examined ; amongst the rest the prostitutes who attended the disgusting orgies of Andrews. The syren, called La Polonaise, who bewitched Andrews into this den, is 17 years of age, and is described as being very ugly. All the other girls were likewise heard. They declared that they were in the bed-room of the plaintiff ; and M. Begin attested that he saw them grouped round his bed. The PRESIDENT (to Begin)—Were you a wit ness to these infamies ?—Not altogether. These women mentioned that Begin paid them by the orders of Andrews, who allowed that he had seen several of them in the house, though he de clared that he had no intercourse with any of them. Newer did the Court of Assize listen to such dis gusting details—to such accounts of depravity. The Commissary of Police of the quarter being examined declared that Begin's Louse waa one of the most frightful in his district. Begin expl.dned his cons'ant attendance on An drews, by declaring that he was afraid the Irishman would cut his throat, if he sound an opportunity by being left alone. Andrews often said, " I shall he to-morrow at the Morgue. `Vail yott come and see me at the Morgue," (a place where dead bodies are exposed, in order to be recognized and claimed) After hearing the Advocates on both sides, with the summing up of the Judge, the prisoners, Begin and his wife, were condemned to five years' impri sonment, and the restitution of Andrews's property. SUICIDE OF THE REV. W.M. This unhappy gentleman, who, our readers will woollect, was tried and convicted at the Summer Assizes of 1827, before the Chief Baron 0 1 G4 ,any, of having fired at the Rev.

A SUB-MARINE TALE. We extract the following from a work lsteiy published by Lieutenant Hardy, R.N., a coths • missioner for the company funned to fish for' pearls and coral in the gulf of California : " The oyster secures itself so firmly to the rocks by-its beard that it requires no little force' . to take it away; and, as its external surface is full of sharp pohits, the hands are soon severely cut by them. The effect. of the buoyancy of the water is also curious. At the depth of seven or . eight fathoms it requires exertion to keep down, and, if you then attempt to lay hold on a rock with the hands, eou find yourself, as it were, suspended ; so that if you let go your hold you" will immediately tumble upwards I rememher, the first oyster I ever met with was the depth of four fathoms only ; my head was almost tonehies; it ; and, forgetting in my pleasure to strike one with my legs, as I stretched forward my !lend mo catch hold of the prize, to my astonishment th,. oyster slipped from my grasp, and I found my self at the surface of the water the next instant ; so that I had all my labour for nothing. .So firmly does the Oyster fix himself to the rock that, in order to tear him away, it -is necessary , to get a purchase' upon him by placing the feet on the bottom. The excessive. difficulty (If • doing this is incredible: it requires the museim- . lar strength of the whole body to overcome the resistance of the water's buoyancy. I have no • doubt that, by means of its long beard, the oys ter has the power of locomotion, and thet it changeseits situation according to its pleasure or convenience. One principal object of inquiry, however, was obtained, namely, the trudsituation of the shells under water. I found that I hail been in a complete error in supposing. them formed in beds, that is, .in heaps, as the word bed would seem to indicate. With this impres sion I left England, and continued in it till I lied now convinced myself, by actual- invesoigatihn. of the error into which I had been led by every body with whom I had conversed on the subjeot indeed, a moment's reflection would have pointed out the impossibirity of the oysters being piled in heaps together in this gulf. This fish always seeks for tranquillity, which it could never find in situations exposed to currents and motions occasioned by the inundation of the water. I always found them in sheltered bays, the bottoms of which were covered with large rocks. Tids brings me to consider the reason why a divitT bell, at least in the Gulf of California, can never be profitably applied. After reaching the bot tom, if the greater surface be considered bottom, there are very frequently found chasms ill the rock below, which extend from one or two, or even to three, fathoms lower. It is down these apertures that the diver may most generally exs. pect to meet with oysters, which even here eon ceal themselves in the cavities of the rock ; and as the power of vision fails in so dceso a me dium, particularly if the depth be considerable and the surface rough, the diver is ob:igsd insert not his band only, but even his head, into every hole and corner, like a person groping about in the dark, holding on time while by time points of the rock to prevent his rising to the top, u consequence of the water's buoyancy at the depth, for example, of seven or eight fathoms, beyond which I cannot speak from experience. The perception of objects under water at this depth is very indistinct, and their magnitude is aug mented, so that a very small shell appears rjt large dimensions, and the diver is frequently mortified by the discovery of the mistake wheii he rises. Under the influence of hop e th e diver is insensible to danger, although he sees himself surrounded by sharks of prodigious ma&- nitude. Armed with his short stick* he const ders the invasion of so formidable an enemy's domains as unworthy of a moment's hesitation.,, sooner Anxious to grasp the prize he nays little re'h t • d which lie descended to the price of its atta a i sl m fi n il e re n: te , possesses than he is ready to fight tiles v ( v )i lie t n he the fin l :l l ) c; ri r s ' o 'c n e. w fins of sharks rising above time sanface of the water ; and armed only in the way I have de scribed I thought myself nerFs.ctly secure from molestation ; notwithstanding they were swim ming round me in all directions, at no greater distance than a few fathoms, I condnued my pursuits with the greatest sang .froid. I should no more be capable, in my cool moments of re fiestion, of braving this inconceivably horrible danger, where I might have been mangled a nd torn to pieces by one of these implacable mon ' sters, than of entering time tiger's den before his breakfast at Exeter-change." "stoutest " This stick is about t:,in o ; ric h e s l on g, and is poitifnA at both ends.
