Mr. GRIFFITII recollected that he was charged b efore him, two or three weeks ago, by his master, wi th getting drunk and neglecting his work. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the witness if he had had an y conversation with the prisoner respecting the fire in the closet ?—The witness said yes, but he di d not recollect any thing material about it. • The Chief Clerk asked him his opinion, and he , s r eplied that no one else but the prisoner was sUs- Pected.

The Chi e f Cl e rk a sked Doughton whether, when ~H 8 master came down to the bakehouse, he was dr essed. He replied, "in his night-trousers only." Mr. Farrow was asked whether his property was insured. He said yes, for 3001., in the Westminster °See, and he had then 40 or 50 sacks of flour, and • Valuable furniture. uckeridge examined the premises, and told Mr. G RIFFITIs he had no doubt they were set fire to in tentionally. He found an empty beer cask had b een destroyed, as well as the child's chaise -cart, end the boot-trees, and the shavings appeared to „, 41 'n been placed in the box on purpose.—The ~ , '"soner was remanded. QUEEN-SQUARE. yesterday Joint Potter, an elderly looking man, /118 brought up in custody by Colton, a constable of Battle-bridge, and placed at the bar before Mr. WHITE, charged with forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 60/. well-knowing the same to be forged. Mr. Neale, of No. IS, Battle-bridge, carried on the business of a varnish-maker. A few months ago the prisoner applied to him for some goods, with which he supplied him to the amount of about 401., at two different times; he took a bill of the pri soner's own acceptance for the first order, amount ing to 261.; but when it became due it was dis honoured, and as he had paid it away, he was com pelled to take up the bill himself. In consequence of his failing in performing his engagement, he called upon him, when the prisoner expressed his regret, and said he was extremely sorry, but he had latterly lost a great deal of money, and various other ex cuses; he then told witness that he was determined he should not be a loser by him, and asked if he had any objection to take a bill at three months for 604 on a Mr. Thomas Burton, a person of great respect. ability, at Cowley, near Uxbridge. Witness re plied that he would not have the least objection provided he was certain of the respectability of the acceptor. The prisoner then said that Mr. Burton was indebted to him on account of some property which had not beets settled for,but it was not legally due to him for some months, although he thought he should be able to procure a bill from him for the amount of 601. He, however, wished witness to be perfectly satisfied with the respectability of Mr. Burton, and gave him a reference to a respectable tradesman:in Holborn, on whom he called, and was sa- tisfied. The prisoner also added, that he did not want the balance, but would take it out in more goods of which he was in want. This being ar ranged, last Saturday a lad brought a letter to his house containing a bill of exchange for 601., drawn by the prisoner at three months on Mr. James Bur. ton, of Cowley, near Uxbridge, Middlesex, and ac cepted by him, payable through the Uxbridge bank, at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s, bankers, London, and also requestiug that the balance might be sent in various quantities of varnish, &c., as per order. The bill being drawn on Mr. James Burton, instead of Thomas, as the prisoner mentioned to him at the interview, created a suspicion in his mind that all was not right; and before he furnished the prisoner with more goods he was determined to make further inquiries, and sent one of his servants to Messrs. Glyn's, and also to Uxbridge, who brought him word back that the bill was a forgery, and he ac cordingly employed a constable, who took the pri soner into custody at a shop he had opened last week as a baker, under the firm of Potter and Co.) at No. 12, Winter-place, Lambeth-walk. The prosecutor here handed the bill to the Ma gistrate, and also several letters he had received from the prisoner during their transactions. Joseph Field was in the employ of Mr. Neale, and went by his desire to Messrs. Glyn and Co., to as certain if they knew any thing of the acceptor of the bill which Mr. Neale had received from the prisoner, and was informed that they did not know any person at Cowley of the name of Burton. He then took the coach' and went to Cowley, Ind found out Mr. James Burton, who pronounced the bill to be a forgery. There was also a highly respectable per son at Cowley named Thomas Burton, but he knew nothing of the bill or the drawer. Mr. WHITE inquired if Mr. Burton was in at tendance ? The prosecutor replied he was not; but he expected him in town every hour, and begged that the prisoner might be remanded until he could attend. The witness further stated, that from some circumstances which had transpired, he had very strong suspicions that the prisoner belonged to a re gularly organized gang, who were defrauding trades men by forged acceptances in various parts of the town ; and he thought, if time was granted, other cases might be brought forward against him. Mr. WHITE asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing. The prisoner replied, that he re eived the bill from a person named Richard Dickins Askam, who lived at No. 67, John-street, Holland street, Blackfriars-road, and he did not know but that the acceptance was a genuine one. Mr. WHITE asked the prisoner what business Mr. Askam was ?—The prisoner said that he raised mo ney for persons who were in want of it. The bill in question he received from him as an accommoda tion bill. Mr. WHITE told the prisoner he should remand him until Mr. Burton could attend. The prisoner requested that he might go, in the custody of an officer, to find Mr. Askam. Mr. WHITE said, he should permit no such thing. He did not know that there was such a person in existence, and if he (the prisoner) wanted him, he might send a messenger from him. The prisoner did not think he would come for ward if he was merely sent for. If an officer went with him, he thought lie could get him ; and about this time (one o'clock) he was sure to be at the Mail-coach public-house, near the General Post- Office. Mr. WAITE again told the prisoner he might send for him if he pleased; and ordered him to be remanded. SUICIDE AT BOSTON. On Thursday morning last Mary Atkinson, a se►vant girl in the employ of Mr. John Tonge, brazier, of New-street, Boston, suspended herself by a rope across a beam in her master's house, and though her body was warm when found, pulsation had ceased, and every attempt made by a surgeon to restore animation, proved useless. It appears that she was a girl of a very sensitive turn of mind, and on the preceding day she had been informed of the serious illness of her mother, and of her favourite sister being run over by a horse. These tidings very much affected her, she became melancholy, and fre quently burst into tears. At half-past ten o'clock on Thursday morning she was last seen alive,—she was then apparently more cheerful. In a quarter of an hour Aliss E. Tonge, daughter of Mr. Tonge, having occasion to go into her (Miss T.'s) room, found the door fastened. She gave an alarm, and the door was broke open. Miss Tonge then en tered, and found the poor girl suspended from an iron bar by a rope. With an admirable presence of mind, she immediately cut the rope; the lifeless body fell into her arms, and then she cut the cord which was tightly fastened round the unfortunate gill's neck. The deceased never evinced any signs of life. Surgical aid was promptly procured, but, as we have stated above, without effect. An inquest was held on the body, at the Falcon Inn, before J. H. How WAY, Gent., Coroner for the borough, and the Jury returned a verdict that the deceased destroyed her self in a fit of " Temporary Derangement." We understand from the father of the deceased that, owing to some words she had with her grandmother, she some time ago made a similar attempt, but was then prevented accomplishing her dreadful purpose. --Boston Gazette. NATURAL HISTORY.—In July, 1828, J. SWARIIRECK, Esq. of Sowerhy, near Thirsk, bad a live toad put into a flower-pot, without any sustenance what ever, which he covered with a slate, and buried eighteen inches deep in his garden. Last month, he caused it to be disinterred, and found it to be as healthy, to all appear ance, as when first in, and of a beautiful gold colour ; but, on its exposure to the air, it resumed its usual dusky hue. Mr. S. has again consigned it to its dark abode for another year.— York Courant. A Correspondent informs us that about ninety years ago, the wages of a master tailor, in the village of Gargunnock, were 3d. a day, including victuals ; those of his journeymen 2d , and an apprentice ld. The three generally contrived to finish a suit of men's clothes in a day, for which Snip pocketed his sevenpence with great satisfaction. The price of a pair of men's shoes was then Is. Bd. or 2s. The wages of a principal farm servant 21. per annum, with the perquisites of a pair of shoes, a pair of hose, a shirt, and a certain quantity of Scotch plaid- Lg. In our informant's youth the principal tailor in Gargunnock charged sd. per diem, and there were other three less distinguished knights of the thimble who worked for 4d. " Now," says he, " the times are awfully changed ; for we have two master tailors who charge no less than Is. 6d, a day and their victuals,".../Stirlinp Journal, FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

BARON TIULLOCK. This very Learned Judge was descended from an ancient family in the North, from whom he derived v,ry considerable estates, situate near Barnard Castle, in the cout.ty of Durham. He was in early life entered as a member of (fray's-Lin, by which Society he was in due course tailed to the Bar. He practised at the Bar, with the reputation of being one of the soundest lawyers in Westminster-hall, for upwards of 20 years, and was then promoted to the rank of a Sergeant at Law. He remained Ser geant but a few years; however, during that time he was engaged in several matters of very great moment. He was retained by the Government to conduct some very important prosecutions, arising out of the disturbed state of the North, and he also presided with great ability on the Commission of Lunacy respecting the Earl of Portsmouth, the in vestigation of which, it may be remembered, took place at the Freemasons' Hall some few years ago. Shortly after this period his Lordship was promoted to the office of one of the Barons of the Exchequer, on the resignation of Mr. Baron Wood. This dis tinguished situation he held till the time of his de cease, which was on Friday last. His Lordship had arrived in Abingdon, as one of the Judges of Assize of the Oxford Circuit, on Saturday, the 25th of July; and on the Sunday following he attended Di vine Service at St. Helen's Church, Abingdon, in apparently good health; however, in the course of that night, he had a most violent attack of cholera morbus, and after remaining extremely ill for five days, expired in the evening of Friday, the 31st of July, in the 66th year of his age. His Lordship's death is much lamented by the profession, by whom he was universally beloved. A more kind-hearted man never adorned the Bench of Justice, and his great strength of mind, and his accurate knowledge of the law, was acknowledged by every one to whom he was known. He was not a brilliant man as an orator at the Bar ; but all his decisions gave the greatest satisfaction—indeed, he was always con sidered to be one of the ablest Judges in modern times. His Lordship had been many years married, and his lady survives him. WINCHESTER, AUG. 3. PRI 1. d. Beef, per 1b... 0 7. Mutton...—. 7d. to 0 7 Veal 0 S. s. d.

That letter of such lamentable tidings not only astonished me, but numbers to whom it was shown in these quar ters; for its contents were diametrically opposite to all my experience here, as also to the information afforded me by every practical person whom I met. However strongly fortified as I was in my conclu sions respecting the favourable aspect of the harvest, the aiverse statement of such a man as Mr. Hunt, inquisitive and active as he is, induced me to pause before I finally committed myself. At last I re solved to leave no means untried of discovering the truth, and, having no human motive for distorting it, fairly to state the result. I devoted, therefore, the whole of Saturday, the greater part of Sunday, and a couple of hours after sunrise on Monday, to a personal investigation. I went into the fields myself; I inspected with my own eyes; saw, heard, examined, cross-examined, and compared, and the following is the sum of my little journal HURSLEY.--A sweet tract—in the possession of Sir William Heathcote—four or five miles from Winchester, in the Salisbury direction. " And Mr. Hunt's letter," said I, as I surveyed the admirably managed lands of Hursley, and contemplated the heavy ears of wheat sustained by their substantial stems—" and Mr. Hunt's agricultural lamentation has even frightened the experienced sages of the Corn-Exchange I" Nothing was ever less justi fiable. The crops—l speak of the wheat crops — not only equal, but far surpass the average of several years, as to quality ; in the quantity, generally, there is nothing to complain of, 30 far as Hursley, an ex tensive district, is concerned. RumsEv.—Went on to Rumsey. The crops all very fine looking—a considerable quantity of wheat cut—all good—the capsulas full—a few black ears — and patches layed with the rains—the farmers not disposed to complain, which is a most decisive symptom that there is really nothing to complain of. WHITE PARISIL—The crop most excellent—the grain (wheat) full, substantial, and polished—little layed with the wet. Here and elsewhere the turnip crop is unequalled. The fly is now a total stranger here, but nobody knows why. Oats promise to be a very unusual crop ; the wet has accomplished this. Barley will prove also abundant and good. SALISBURY, MONDAY.—Whatever tillage is vi sible from White Parish to this city (and here we approach the Earl of Radnor's estates), appears in excellent condition, and, upon the whole, I must declare, with the greatest respect for those who have frightened the world with sinister prognosti cations, that there is not the slightest foundation for alarm. OXFORD. In the county of Oxford the wheat crops look well. In some places the harvest has begun—and although it is not so abundant as it has been in some years, yet there still is i❑ this county no great reason for complaint. With respect to the barley crop great fears were at one time entertained. However, the rains that have fallen within these three weeks, have put an end to the fears, and the farmers now feel satisfied of having a good crop of barley. Beans and oats have any thing but a pro mising appearance. In this county the agricultural labourers generally receive Ss. a week, and, as that is not sufficient to support a large family, a most pernicious practice prevails of making up the defi ciency in such cases out of the poor's rate. This is most impolitic, and the sooner it is put a stop to the better for the country. The prices of provisions in Oxford are as fol. lows : s. d.

The Constitutionnel contains a long article on the subject of the affairs of the East which is deserving of some remark. A natural sympathy with the weak, observes our Parisian Contem porary, would lead us to desire the triumph of the Turks, were not other interests bound up with the question. The writer alludes particu larly to the increase of the influence of the Ca binet of Vienna and of that of St. James, " an influence fatal to the liberties of every people, and more particularly to our liberties, of which the guarantees are still imperfect." Moreover, "we are told with affectation that the Russian armies entered France. That is true ; but where were the English and Austrian Armies ? Let them name him who, in spite of capitulations, stript our Museum of its chefs d'ceuvre ac quired by treaties, and allowed to be shed on the scaffold the blood of an illustrious warrior, whose talents and heroic valour gave him um brage ! Is it the policy of such a man that we should seek to popularise ? Ought his alli ances, his friendships, to be ours ? Impossible. France, free and independent, occupies us above all things ; her liberty and her independence can only be menaced by the coalition of England and Austria. The coalition exists ; it forms the whole actual diplomacy of the two Governments. This diplomacy is odious to us. What are the Russians to us ? It is not as Russians that this question interests us ; it is because they derange the combinations of the sworn enemies of the liberty of nations ; it is because they cause a diversion to the plan, re gularly followed up, of absolution, which the former wish to make dominant in Europe, by falsehood, fraud, corruption, and, if necessary, by violence Were the East tran quillized to-morrow, next day Greece would be as independent as Wallachia ; immediately Car bonarism would be brought into play, and ima ginary conspiracies would be fabricated. Do we not hear already of the conspiracies of the Direc tory Committee? Do we not see attempts made to besiege the Throne with vain terrors ;to re present France as about to be plunged in anar chy ? The word of command is given to the faction ; but whence comes this word ? Evi dently from London and Vienna. The enemies of our liberties within and without are closely united ; they rest on each other while marching to the same object. The factious Press in France is but the echo of the noble and sacerdo tal Aristocracy of Europe." We have no objec tion to the Constitutionnel wishing success to the Russians, because we believe the balance of good inclines that way. The entrance of the Russians into the Mediterranean will, w upon the whole, be a benefit to mankind ; and e fear there is no hope of introducing into Turkey such improvements as might enable the Government to prevent, sooner or later, the realization of the Russian plans. The di vision too of the great Powers, who hover on the skirts of civilization, and who possess but too much power to interfere with the amelioration of their more advanced neighbours, may be excused in a liberal Journalist. But what good purpose can be served by now reproducing the affair of the Museum, and the death of Marshal Ney ? If the Museum was cleared, the French cleared the Museums of other countries ; if the French soil was invaded, other coun tries had been invaded by France. No country can expect to be overrun by armies with impunity. The French suffered much less from the invaders, than other nations suffered from them. But it is time that those things should be forgotten. The French owed, of course, the mild treatment they experienced to their power, and not to any generosity on the part of the invaders, and it ought to be a conso lation to them to reflect that the dread of rousing a Great Nation obtained for them this advantage. The Prussians and other Germans, as enlightened and as brave as the French, and better organized, as far as the physique is concerned (for the French, in appearance have nothing to boast of), have forgot the affronts they received during the ';Far and it would be as well if the BonPpartists is.

Why is it assumed that the Noble and Ecclesiastical Aristocracies of Europe receive from London instructions to disturb the French Liberals ? The Duke of Wellington has had too much Sacerdotism at home to be so peculiarly enamoured of it abroad. The Eng lish Government has its own difficulties, and we should imagine that it has no appetite for adding to them by any European convulsion. As far as sympathy is in question, we are not prepared, to deny that that of the Aristocracy of England is by no means with tbo cause of improvemel - it in any country.

It was a crime lamentably common in the county, or he should not have noticed the subject." At a meeting of Radical Reformers, at the Mechanics Institute, on Monday night, Mr. Henry Hunt, alluding to his late journey to the West, observed—. " After passing a few days at Devizes, and after hearing what had occurred about the balloon which was destroyed (the people, having paid for seeing it ascend, did not like to be disappointed), I travelled seven miles to Melksham, at which there was a fair held. I there saw several of the farmers, who, when yeomen, kept guard over me for hours toge ther. I recollected some of their faces well, They
