" Another volume of this extensively and deservedly popular publication has just appeared. It treats of the South American States of Peru and Chile, and treats of them, as it has done of all the countries hitherto embraced in its circle, with a full measure of intelligence hardly to be reconciled with its brevity, and a degree of accuracy rarely to be met with in accounts brought down to the most re cent periods."—Literary Gazette, Sept. 26, 1829.

From tite beginning to the end there is not a single page that does not amuse while it informs ; his anecdotes are the most recherche imaginable, his descriptions vivid in the extreme, and whether his work is read for amusement or informa tion, the result to the reader will, we are convinced, prove equally satisfactory."—Morning Journal. Printed for Saunders and Otley, Conduit-street, A CASE OF GREAT DISTRESS. A Lady and her Husband, of genuine res pectability, both young, and lately married, having come from Scotland to London, through the earnest soli citations of some well-meaning friends, who promised to procure immediate employment for them in their profes sion, have waited for some months under the most painful anxiety of mind for the success of the efforts of those friends, which have completely failed, and left them in volved in great difficulty, arising from several Debts, par ticularly for Lodging; and as they hive hitherto never known misfortune, and possessing the most honourable feelings, they are therefore plunged into the deepest dis tress of mind, being wholly unable to extricate themselves by any other means than through an Appeal to the Affluent and Humane. Their condition of late has been so full of misery that they had the greatest difficulty even to procure ordinary sustenance for themselves and one child ; and their case is the more trying as the lady is near her confinement. If, through the benevolence of such as have the means and humanity to relieve them, they can only be borne through the present difficulty, suc ceeding means, not in their power to employ in this trying crisis, it is hoped, will restore them to their former easy condition. The Husband being a Graduate of the Uni versity of Aberdeen, will he happy tr• give Lessons in the Classics in return,—to any family whose bounty he may receive. Subscriptions will be received at the following places, viz. :—Sir Claude Scott and Co.'s Bank, Cavendish square ; Mr. Lloyd's Library, Harley-street ; Mr. Booth's Library, Duke-street, Portland-place. Every satisfaction as to the respectability of the Parties, and the truth of the case, will be given to those who may kindly aid the sufferers. CHARGE OF MUR D E R.--011 Monday last an adjourned inquest was held at Leeds, on the body of a man named SIMON Ricxannixs , whose death was occa sioned by a blow received from a sledge-hammer, in an affray with Jour; DicxeNsow an d o th ers . After hearing all the evidence that could be brought forward, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against JOHN DICK EN sox," but acquitted Jon x GxaaoN, another of the parties inttreseei• His Majesty's ship Gloucester arrived at Malta on the 23d of September. The Britannia passed Gibraltar on the 6th instant; and the Melville, on the following day, for the same direction. The Pandora arrived at Batavia from Madras, on the 2d of June, and sailed for the Northward on the 25th. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of his Majesty's ship Blonde, dated Tarafia, Sept. 22, 1829 : " On the 16th instant, whilst at Constantinople, had the pleasure of seeing the courier arrive, and of hearing him publicly announce that a definitive treaty of peace had been concluded between Turkey and Russia. In addition to the other terms of the treaty, the Porte has agreed to pay the latter five hundred millions of piastres, which, at the present rate of exchange, is 7,142,8.57/. sterling—a sum that will diminish the bulk of the Turkish Treasury. But it is said that the riches contained in the seraglio are far beyond any estimate of which we have a clear conception. The revenues of the Turkish empire have keen very great, and its ex penditure comparatively trifling; hence the funds of the Seraglio must be very great, on account of their having been accumulating for several centuries. Un like other States, the precious metals that were once deposited in the secret recesses of the Seraglio ' were suffered to remain there, and never broken in upon; this was the sanctum sanclorum of the Mussul mans; in the midst of revolutions it was held in- 1 violably sacred, and thus the Sultan is not likely to be much distressed by the payment of the above mentioned sum ; besides which, he has the rich Jews and Armenians under his Alaghar, from whom he never fails to drdin heavy contributions. The Franks are very rarely, perhaps never, diSturbed ; under the Turkish despotism they enjoy almost un bounded freedom. Since the Russian army has de cided on ►wintering at Adrianople, in consequence of a plague which at present is raging with great viru lence in some of the Turkish districts through which that army would have to pass; and, moreover, it being now almost too late in the season to think of re-crossing the Balkan, there is a probability that Count Ileyden's departure from the Mediterranean will be delayed until the ensuing spring. But should he decide on wintering in England, there is every reason to think that the reduction of our squa dron will not be for a moment protracted. The Sublime Porte has ordered a grand Embassy to be in readiness for the purpose of proceeding forthwith 1 ..t0 the Imperial Court of St. Petersburgh. The Embassy goes in a Turkish frigate to Odessa, and thence overland to St. Petersburgh." By the Columbia packet ship, which passed by this evening, we have New York Papers to the Ist instant. It is stated in them that accounts had been received from the Havannah, which contradict the report so confidently circulated, of reinforcements being about to sail from Cuba for the army of Bar radas, on the coast of Mexico. The same papers state that the yellow fever at New Orleans conti nued to extend its ravages in the city. The Onyx, 10, Lieutenant Boteler, sailed this morning for Madeira, Ascension, and Maranham. She will also call at Trinidad prior to her return. She takes Colonial despatches and a supply of scien tific instruments for the Chanticleer surveying ship, Captain Foster. The Briton, 46, Captain the Hon. W. Gordon, M.P., sailed on Sunday to Santa Cruz, with Col. Dashwood on board, the British Consul-General to the Republican Government of Colombia. Mr. Turner, the British Minister to the Republic of Mexico (and Lady), have arrived here this week, to proceed to Carthagena, in the Herald yacht, Commander Maxwell, and will sail for that quarter in a few days. Colonel Wilson, the son of Sir Robert Wilson, also takes passage in the same ship. The Herald will return to England by way of Ja maica and the Havannah. The Sylvia cutter sailed on Monday, and on the following clay the Arrow on a cruize.—On Thurs day arrived the Sparrow cutter, and Echo steam vessel; the former sailed yesterday, with money for the dock-yard at Plymouth.—The Vigilant arrived yesterday from Plymouth, and returned to-day. Lieutenant Knight, Commander of the Eagle revenue cutter, has within these few days deposited eighteen casks of foreign spirits, and Lieutenant Sheppard, chief officer at Portland, nineteen, at the Custom-house at Weymouth. The company of Royal Artillery stationed at Devonport is to hold itself in readiness to embark for Barbadoes as soon as relieved by a company daily expected from Woolwich. On Friday arrived the schooner George Canning, Payne, from Denia, with fruit, to Southampton— released from quarantine, and proceeded thither. On the 11th of October, off Cape St. Vincent, spoke the schooner, Eliza, Cash, from London to Seville. On the 25th inst. lat. 48. 25. long. 7. 20. W. spoke the ship Hope, Matthews, from London, bound to Trinidad, all well, and wished to be reported. The schooner Royal Mail, Scott, and Solace, Cross, were nearly loaded with new fruit at Denis, and were to sail on the sth or Gth inst. On the 28th instant, in the longitude of the Lizard, the George Can• ning passed a large ship water-logged, with no masts or bowsprit standing; too much sea to ap proach near her; her bulwarks were gone, and the deck and stern blown out. She appeared to be lat ely wrecked, as there was no appearance of grass or weeds on her, but the paint looked quite fresh. She had painted half ports. On Sunday arrived at St. Helen's the Dutch ship of war Zeemew, Lieutenant J. B. Molemar, Commander, from the Mediterranean, last from Gibraltar. She came to the Mother-bank on Mon day, and was released from quarantine; she is bound to the Texel. Also on Tuesday put in here the Dutch ship Alexander, of and from Rotterdam, Captain Cornelius Davey, with a general cargo, bound to Surinam. This morning the Brighton, Sebor, packet ship to New York. This ship will sail to-morrow morning, with a mail and passen gers. Also arrived the Prince Regent, Taylor, for Tobago. The ship Medina will be the next vessel that will proceed for the Colonies. The following is a list of the Flag Officers who have died since the last promotion, May 17, 1825 : ADMIRALS.—Of the Red—Lord Radstock, G. Wilson, J. Hollaway, T. Spry, W. Swiney, 1.

Ingram, On Wednesday last preparations had been made in his Majesty's Dock-yard of this place for trying the efficacy of a new mode of fitting launches for carrying out and weighing the bower anchors ; but owing to the non-attendance of the proper officers, who were prevented being present, no trial was made on that day. On Thursday, however, at half. past two p.m., an anchor weighing about four tons, having been slung to the crane, was lowered into the water, and the launch having been placed over it ,and the necessary apparatus attached, they began to heave upon it for the purpose of raising the anchor under the bottom of the boar, when the end of the windlass gave way, owing to the gudgeons being badly fitted. The trial, therefore, remains yet to be made. The principle of suspending an anchor under a boat's bottom is not altogether novel, for we find that, in the year 1799, a boat was fitted for this par ticular service on this plan, and stationed at Gibral tar; and in 1804 another was fitted in the same way, and stationed at Malta; these, however, were soon abandoned from their inefficacy. Mr. Cow, of his Majesty's Dock-yard at Woolwich (the same gentleman who invented that ingenious contrivance of a portable canvass boat for landing and embark. ing horses through a surf, which was lately tried on Southsea Beach,) has improved upon the above principle, and succeeded in render ing his efforts so effective that his plan was adopted in the service by his Majesty's Navy board warrant of 19th August, 1824, and afterwards by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, on the 11th February, 1826. The principle is to bring the weight of the anchor on that part of the boat most capable of bearing it, and to use a purchase in the boat in which the strain is so equally divided, that it shall be equal to the bearing up of any weight that she can sustain. To accomplish this, two solid pieces of wood, about ten inches wide, are let through the bottom of the boat and firmly secured to the timbers; the centre of each piece is sixteen inches from the middle line of the keel, and as nearly as possible in the middle of the boat longitudinally; in each of these pieces is a hole large enough to take a nine-inch rope; over the holes water-tight trunks are placed, and fixed to pieces of plank,which are secured to the main thwart and to the thwart shaft by forelocked bolts, which prevent the possi bility of the trunks moving. These trunks are so fitted, that when the boat is not wanted for this par ticular service, the trunks can be taken out and stowed away, and the hole being stopped by a plug, the boat is precisely like other boats, and can be used for any purpose. The windlass for heav ing up the anchor is composed of two parts, and when in use it is joined in the middle by an iron gudgeon, which works in a strong iron stancheon placed on the keels, so that in heaving the strain is divided between the sides and the keel. This ap paratus, which is perfectly simple and free from complication, has been found equal to the heaving up of any weight with which the boat can swim.— Hampshire Telegraph. DEVONPORT, OCT. 31.—8 y letters received over land, dated Malta, 4th instant, we learn that his Ma jesty's ships Melville, 74, Captain A. W. Schom berg, Gloucester, 74, Captain A. Stuart, and Philo mel, 10, Commander Graham, had arrived at that place from England, and had proceeded to join the fleet under Sir Pulteney Malcolm, off Tenedos. The Impregnable, 104, and Feudroyant, 84, are undergoing the process of filling in at this port. (" Filling in," a ship is placing her loose planks for sea.) We hear that several line-of-battle ships at other ports are to undergo the same process immediately. His Majesty's gun-brig Conflict, is to be commis sioned by Lieutenant Smithers, for the coast of Africa, to relieve the Clinker. His Majesty's ship Thetis is gone round the Horn to relieve the Forte, which ship is expected home about Christmas. The Hyacinth, 18, was commissioned, on Tues day, for foreign service, by Mr. Erasmus, who is appointed Master of her. The North Star, 28, which has undergone a tho rough repair in Portsmouth Yard, is expected shortly to be commissioned. The Conflict, 12, at this port, is, we believe, to be commissioned in a few days, to relieve the Clin ker, on the coast of Africa. The Calypso packet-brig, Lieut. R. Peyton, sailed yesterday for Falmouth ; she is expected to take out the next American mail. The Britomart tranport arrived yesterday from Woolwich, to take in troops for the West Indies.

On Saturday the circumstances which occasioned the melancholy death of Henry William Willis, Esq., were inquired into by Mr. STIRLING, coroner, and an inquest jury, at No. 45, Montague-square, the house of his father, the banker. The first person examined was Robert Bassett, a footman in the service of Mr. Willis, seri., and he stated that the deceased was a single man, 38 years of age, and that he was in the habit of v►sit►ng his father at that house. He came there on Wednesday He played at backgammon with his father in the evening, and retired to his chamber, which is upon the drawing-room floor, in good health and spirits, at 20 minutes before 12. The witness slept in the butler's pantry, and shortly after midnight, he was aroused by cries of " fire" from the servants, in the upper part of the house. He ran up stairs to ascertain the cause, and he met the deceased in the hall, with only his shirt upon him, and his hands and face were all over blood. The deceased went out at the front door, and was received into the next house by Mr. Reeves. The witness afterwards saw the bedding, bed furniture, a large bedside chair, and the window•blinds on fire, in the chamber of the deceased, and ascertained that the deceased was se verely burnt. He returned to his father's house after the confusion was over, and died there the same afternoon. The deceased took a candle with hina into his room, and when the firemen came with the engines the candlestick was found behind his pillow, and a book was found upon the bed very much burned. The CORONER asked how he accounted for the blood upon the hands and face of the deceased ; whether he met with any injury, independent of the fire, to produce it. The footman saw him fall upon the stairs : he seemed exhausted, and hardly able to stand. CORONER—Was he quite sober when he retired to rest ? Footman—Quite so, Sir, I believe; I did not see that he was otherwise. CORONER—Can you account for the fire ? Wit ness—l believe he was reading in bed, and the fur niture caught fire. Mr. J. C. Cox, of Montague-place, surgeon—Was called in after the accident to assist the deceased. He found him severely burnt in his face, and upon his arms; the other parts of his body were burned very superficially. He never recovered from the effects of it, and between one and two o'clock on the same day he was seized with a spasm, and died instantly. CORONER—Did he give any account of the acci dent ? Mr. Cox—He said he was reading, and the bed caught fire. One of the Jurors asked if he wa sasleep ? Mr. Cox—Thought it probable ; but the deceased had not said so. The Jury viewed the body and the chamber where the accident took place, and it appeared that the deceased had used great exertion to extinguish the fire before he gave an alarm; and in doing so, his hands were torn by nails in the furniture, and tha. produced the blood seen by the servants, and which was washed away before the surgeon came. The Jury returned a verdict- , —" Accidental death." NEWS FOR THE NEEDLE. MA KERS:AII Englishman, writing from France, says, " The needle and pin msnufartories around Aix-la-Chapelle are half a cen tury behind England in the quality of these articles ; and a ease of real English needles is a most acceptable present to a Belgian lady." The complainant was brought up from the West. minster Hospital, and supported into the office. She appeared in a.very weak , state from the ill-usage she received, and was accommodated with a chair. - _Handley, the officer, said that when he searched the room the floor was covered with blood, and added, that the prisoner at the watch-house said ha wished that the complainant was as dead as a rat. Mr. GREGORIE said it nits ,a most disgraceful, un manly, and brutal assault. The prisoner had greatly aggravated the case bylthe defence. Instead of ex pressing contrition, he charged all the witnesses with perjury, at the same time there never was a clearer case in the world, or better supported. Mr. GREGORIE inquired of the serjeant of the re giment what kind of character the prisoner had? The serjeant replied he bore a very bad character. Mr. WHITE inquired whether "any way could be adopted to make the prisoner compensate the wo man ? The serjeant replied he was afraid not. The Magistrates consulted for some time, when Mr. GREGORIE said, that the judgment of the Bench was, that the prisoner pay a fine to the King of .51., or be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two months. The serjeant said that his pay would be stopped during his imprisonment. Mr. GREGORIE said he was glad to hear it ; and was only sorry he had not the power to punish the prisoner more severely. The prisoner was then conveyed to the House of Correction. John Wilkins, a private in the 3(1 Regiment of Foot Guards, was placed at the bar charged with the following daring highway robbery, which was detected through the vigilance of Frederic Johns, police constable letter B, No. 68. Mr. John Ingram, of Pratt-street, Lambeth, stated that as he was returning home from Charing-cross, on Wednesday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, he met two soldiers in Parliament-street. Having been drinking rather more than he ought, they offered to assist him, and when he got into Bridge-street, Westminoer•bridge, he took them into the Magpie and Horse-shoe and treated them with some rum for their civility. After stopping a few minutes he went away, when, just as he got to the foot of the bridge hg turned his head round, and saw the soldier* behind him. They instantly snatched his watch out of his fob, and ran into Pa -1 ace-y ar d. He followed them, but fell down, and they made their escape. Mr. GREGORIE—Is the prisoner one of the men? Witness—To the best of lily belief he is; but I would not swear positively. Thomas Rogers, a servant at the Magpie and Horse-shoe, recollected the prosecutor coming into his master's house with two soldiers about half-past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening. They had some rum. The gentleman went out first, and the soldiers followed hire.. Is positive that the prisoner was one of the men. John Walton, shopman to Mr. Page, a pawn broker, produced a watch, which he said was pledged by the prisoner on Friday afternoon ; there was an other soldier with him at the time, and he said he wanted as much money as lie could lend on it, as he was going on furlough. Mr. Ingram identified the watch produced as the one he had been robbed of : it cost him eleven gui neas without the seals. The prisoner, in his defence, denied the charge, and said he could prove that he was at the Brown low Arms, in Brownlow-street, Drury-lane, until a quarter before nine o'clock on Wednesday evening. He was fully committed for trial. ESCAPE OF WOOD, ONE OF THE EN- FIELD BURGLARS. On Friday night Henry D. Wood, whose exa mination before the Rev. Dr. CRESWELL, on several charges of burglary, appeared in The Sun on Sa turday, while it was supposed that he was placed in perfect security, most dexterously effected his escape from the cage of Enfield, in which h was confined, to await his being again brought before the bench on the following day, in order to the evidence of Mr. Rougemont's cook being taken, preparatory to his final commitment. At eight o'clock, the officer to whose safe keeping the' prisoner was intrusted, visited him in his place of confinement, (an old de. tached building at the rear of the George Inn) and then found him safe, and every thing apparently in such a state of security, as to lull all suspicion. He returned after the lapse of two hours, to supply him with some refreshments, when, much to his surprise and consternation, he discovered the place empty, and his captive flown. On examining the cage, he found a pitchfork, which had been conveyed to the prisoner by some sympathizing confederate or friend, and with this, though it could not have been more than an hour and a half in his possession, he worked so efficiently, as within that time to have broken an aperture through one of the walls large enough to give a free passage for his body. This was the first difficulty he had to surmount before he could consider himself at liberty, and having got over it, the next that presented itself was the wall with which the yard was enclosed, the top of which, for its greater protection, and the prevention of depredations, was guarded with broken glass. This, it would appear, must have been an insuperable impediment, from the danger he must run of being severely wounded or cut, to his further progress; but this also he ma naged to overcome, by placing on the summit, and thus rendering the glass-work harmless, two rugs, with which he had been supplied to rest on for the night.edto h i T m h t e h pitchfork, it appears, ironap g pe r a a r t s in g ,h a . d been oni tcso beingnvey rumoured in the village that Wood had effected his escape from custody, the greatest anxiety was mani fested to ascertain the truth of the report; and whets it was established beyond a doubt, not a few per sons expressed their gratification at the prisoner's good fortune. This may be accounted for by his being known to several of the townspeop'e, and his being a person of rather popular manner and insinu ating address. . _ Constables were despatched in pursuit of thefu gitive in all directions; but up to a late hour yester day no trace of him had been discovered. Informa tion of the circumstance has also been ecr: munieated to the officers of the metropolis, in which it is pro bable, rather than - in the country, lie has might for an asylum. 21 .25 ! 15 22 16 18 23 25 17 21 24 27 123 26 16 IS n 15 18 •les througl • 3. 22 25 34 25 26 27 32 -- 32 . . 18 21 19 '2O 40 27 28 30 34 26 32 'bout the country. 31 35 34 38 T • hi GIRARD ON ME HORSE. s day was published, prise 3s. 6d., or with the Plates coloured, 4s. 6d. boards, A TREATISE on the TEETH of the t HORSE; showing its Age by the Changes the Teeth , r : der gn, from a Foal up to Twenty-th ree Y e ars Old, t p r P_ e _ c i 4 ily after the Eighth Year.
