THE I,O',\I'DON JOURNALS. DAILY P 'Extrriels:froin- the Morning Papers, August 19. LritOarnNn nk:a.ALD.I • BV - e. lust night received the following letter from our Madrid Correspondent :—. Ava. 4.—The late buoyant expectations of the speedY release and rettrn of the King have given phut to ra ther-a deirpondiog tone among the persons in office and,Ultra gpyaliats. They perceive it likely to became a protracted' affair. The supplies of provisions which lately entered Cadiz from Gibraltar and the coast, when the French squadron was blown .off, the attack made by the Constitutional troops upon the whole of the French lines, and the - resolute manner in which the Captain -of the 'British frigate was told by the Ministers that they and every inhabitant would be buried under the ruins of Cadiz, rather than desert the cause they had sworn to up hold, or release the King separate from the Constitution, throw in their side of the balance a considerable degree of int fortance, and in' the tattle ratio diminish the moral influence of this party. Besides, the difficulties of an attack by land are reported to he insurmountable ; there being otitt one long na'rrow causeway terminated by tremendous batterieti. So that • in an attempt to storm, thousands would be lost. Some time back, scarcely a' cannon was mounted, and the works were out I of repair ; and have been assured that, with a comparatively small loss, the French might have aittaitulted and taken the place on their first arrival before it. 'By sea, the French are not strong enough to batter, and after September their blockade must be very imperfect, by reason of the winds and tempests which prevail there, and without a very strong force in small craft, the entrance of provisions and ammunition cannot be impeded. French cupidity may be said to have defeated it self, for if the strong fleet which went to the West Indies, evidently to lay hold of Cuba and Puerto Rico, but prevented by the threats of the British Government, had, instead thereof, entered the bay of Cadiz. in all probability possession would have been taken of it, and. the Cortes would then have had no retreat in Spain. Until the King is at liberty; and in possession of his absolute power, every thing is provisional, and consequently unstable, promotion .and improvement retarded, commerce at 'a stand still, the Government inactive, and no wonder that a gloomy aort of discontent should appear in the countenances of the major part of persons in Madrid, who are expectanta in sus pense. Previous to the departure of the Duke d'Angoulcme, he no minated French Officers to be Captain Generals over the pro vinces aid Governors of towns, with a command over the Spa niSh Authorities. The necessity of French Officers having such rank and power for the purposes of carrying on the •ope rations of the war, is apparent, and in other respects, as regard ing themselves, is not an unwise ,measure; they will govern ant! discipline the country in their own way, and acquire a true state of its resources and of its parties. Spaniards who are obliged to submit affect to say this is a nomination merely in a military sense for the regulation of the troops and the supplies ' of provisions and ammunition, and for the raising and equip ping of the 39,00 Royalist troops, which the French have taken upon themselves to do; but as a proof that they possess the civil Power as well, the:French Governor of Burgos, on the 28th liberated every body that had been imprisoned for opi*ion. The Members of the Corporation remonstrated, • but he would listen to nothing ; having a list of them, he formed his troops before the prison; and had the prisoners brought out according to the list ; he asked each of them their offence, or if they knew the reason of their arrest, &c. When they were all out, he told them they might gem their houses, but' warned them not to 'meddle ' with politics in future. Those who had. liberated them that day were as capable of inflicting due punishment, which should be done with the utmost severity in all cases of disobedience and disturbance. The Royalists. may complain, but they must emture. For the last three days it has been te potted, that in like manner those imprisoned in Madrid would be set at liberty this day—as yet none of the Spanish authorities are aware Of it, and therefore, for the present, it must be, consi demi' as a mere report. • . If the French continue these acts, it would give them great popularity throughout the country, and they would become the arbitrators in all differences between the two parties of Royalists and Constitutionalists. A Frenchman has said, that all the above' measures are to pave the way for the introduction of the' French Charter ; but it may as well be said that in case of a serious and successful assault on Cadiz, and the Royal Family should perish, it is to pave the way for a French Bourbon to the Spanish throne—for • the French Mart, or Chambers, or English Contstitution, seem in he held in as much abhorrence now by the Royalists as an Upper Chamber, or House of Peers; w before by the Corn 9ntOrtrOS. Nothing but absolutism is cried out for ; and most of the addresses and felicitations to the Regency express this wish, and that no terms whatever should a le with those of Cadiz: One address from Cordova goes farther than then all. (I en close it) ; besides calling out for the return, of the absolute sway and vengeance to its opposers, it claims the re-establishment of the Inquisition, as a preservative. against those disasters and horrors . which have for ages affected the rest of Europe—the only time that I have heard or seen the subject mentioned since the dostallation of the Regency. In consequence of the occupation of Truxillo by the Consti tutionalists, some French troops with part of Quefiada'i division have orders to march to Estremadura, to clear that province. Badajoz is reported to contain but 500 men in garrison, and that every day men and officers are passing over Gt the Royalists, or to the Portuguese side. A. very considerable quantity of church plate, Which had been ordered from thence to Elvas by the Marquisde Casteldosrius for security, in case eau assault on.Badajaz by the French, has been seized by the Portuguese, who refuse to deliver it up until the King of Spain shall be at liberty, when it will be restored to its right owners. 'By accounts from Granada, Zayas, who had taken the com mand from Villa Camps., left that city in the morning of the 27th, the French entering the same afternoon: Ire is said to have about 3000 troops with him, a great number of cienerals and h deluge of-other officers. It is reported just now that accounts have arrived of the total destruction of the force of Ballasteros by the French under Fitz. james in the neighbourhood of Jaen ; and that late to-night or tn-morrow.there.will be an extraordinary Gazette detailing the action. This has been expected ; and if the French with a three of one-third only of his numbers attacked him, there could be no doubt on wlueh side lay the victory. Is not on open ground but behind the walls of a fortress that Spaniards of the present day can be brought to stand in sight of an enemy. [MORNING .CIIIIONICI.E.] Letters of tire 28th and 29th ult. were yester day received from Cadiz, which mentions that every thing continued unchanged there, and that the same enthusiasm prevailed among the troops and people. The Government continued firm in its determination to listen to no overtures of a humilating kind. The issue of the cause had been trusted to the sword, and there wasmo dis position to make any alteration in the policy adopted. Great improvements were making in the fortifications, more particularly in the Troca dero, a low piece of land in the centre of the Punta' road, opposite Port Royal, and the point nearest in contact with the French. There six new batteries had been constructed, to which the names of Liberiad, ludependeneia, Constitudon, Arco-Agnero, Riego, and Qzdroga had 'been given, and two others were nearly finished. Al most every day detachments from this point went out as far as the gardens of Port ]loyal. Admiral Valdes had given op Itl4 allowances as Com mandant-General of all the naval forces, amount big to 1(18,000 dais per annum. Count de Al modovar had also resigned all his pay, and gene rally there was a disposition on the part of the officers to waive their pay till the Government should be hotter enabled to discharge the obligation. Measures had been taken to pre vent the arrival from America, or any other point, of vessels having the fever on board, Pro. visions were plentiful, and continu e d t o arri Ve in sufficient quantities. Both the Government and individuals had laid in great stocks. Letters were also received from the north of Spain, mentioning that Lopez Banos was advancing by the line of the Tagus with a force that was daily increasing, and it was thought he would push on towards Madrid by the way of Talavera de la Reyna, to form a junction with El Empecinado, who was already in the neighbourhood of the capital, and had established commumcattons with the Con stitutionalists there. He daily received advices of the movements of the Regency and the French garrison, through the medium of his confidantv. In Estremadura, all the towns through which the French passed had risen up and restored the tablet of the Constitution. Several new guerilla parties were forming, as fast as they could obtain arms ; and it was anticipated that the Regency *ould soon be on their way to Valladolid or Ourgos. [THE VMES.] • The letters received yesterday from Paris fully . cstahlish the falsehood of the late official cornmu- Oication in the Moniteur, of the release of Ferdi- nand and the departure of the Cortes from Cadiz. With whatever qualification the intelligence was given, it surely must be considered a disgrace ful step in the French 'Government in officially publishing the mere rumour of a courier, on a point, too, which disposed of the whole ques tion of the contest in Spain, while themselves were . . 'in possession of the most rapid Means of convey ance, special couriers, and a multitude of agents in alt quarters. It appears, however, according to letters of the nth instant, from Madrid, which were received yesterday, that the belief of soch intelligence prevailed in the Spanish. capital, where it was disseminated, with what motives cannot be conjectured, on no less,authority than that of the Members of the Regency, who at the same time issued an order for public rejoicings on the occasion. This mea sure, by unchaining the furious passions of the , deluded rabble, produced in the issue the most fatal consequences. Their rage was, of 'course, directed chiefly against those persons believed to support constitutional principles. The most vio lent threats were uttered, and all those , who wish to save their property from the violence of the populace, were compelled to hang their Houses with tapestry, and to illuminate their windows. During the night of the 10th, the frantic Royalists of all classes paraded the streets with frightful ac clamations and menacing gestures. They bran dished great Clubs, and attacked all unfortunate persons whom they chose to designate as Liberals. After continuing this conduct till the night was , pretty far advanced, the word was given to at tack the houses of the Constitutionalists. . The pillage commenced, being rendered more easy by the illumination ; and from pillage the mob pro ceeded to massacre. No less than eighteen or twenty persons fell victims to the infatuated and ' unrestrained fury of the partisans of royalty. A 1 letter written b y an individual in Mad rid, on the . night of the 10th, while this scene was acting, thus describes wliat was wing forward :---. " They dance, they laugh, they embrace l they' illuminate, they attack, they rob, they murder," the populace remained, in fact, for some • hours masters of the city ; for. the Regency gave ,no commands, and the inferior authorities exerted no influence to stop, their excesses. They were at length only checked by the exertions of the small body of French troops remaining' in garrison at Madrid; and when the courier of the 11th' left• the city, order was completely restored. tN AM.] The aecount of the liberation of the King' of Spain and the dissolution of the Cortes turns out, as we , suspected, to be exaggerated. It is true, that the more violent party in' Cadiz have lost their preponderance, and that the King i's-per 'mitted to appear in public ;• the consequence of which' it, that' the peopin loudly testify their' at tachment to *hit person ; but beyond this, no step has yet'heen publicly taken towards-sub. mission by the Revolutionary party. .On the 16th instant, howev*r, the Duke d'Amgoureme was expected at Port Rt. -Mary's : and our pri vate letters assure ifs, there is every reason to believe that matters will be finally settled soon after his Royal Highness's arrival.— The Cours Althea/vie of S'atu'rday has reached us. On that day the Rentes opened- at 93. 40., and after many trifling• fluctuations closed at exactly the sume price ; Scrip at 3 per cent. pre mium ; Spanish Bonds at 46,, and Neapolitan Stock at 77i. In out own Market, Consols opened yesterday rather heavi at B`2l and closed at 132 f Spanish Bonds are advancing in. con sequence of the improvement in Paris, and were at one time at 381, but afterwards fell to 39. A Lisbon Mail arrived yesterday; but the private letters - do not contain arty intelligence', further than that affairs remained in an unsettled state. [lllll'lsll PRESS.] The Duke of Vellington left town, we under- 1 stand, this morning, on his way to the Nether lands, to inspect, for the last time, the line. of fortresses now raising their heads along the Bel gian frontier, and intended to preserve these territories and tho Rhenish Provinces of the Prussian Despot, from attack, in case of any new movements on the part of France. These immense and formidable structures are built, in a great degree, not on the plan of Vau. bon or Cohort), but on that of the celebrated Carnot, as recommended in his last publication. ---The fire from them is not intended to be, as heretofore, horizontal, but principally with mortars elevated, to let the shells fall on the heads of the besiegers : the efficacy of this plan has been ably questioned by Sir Howard Douglas, and several experiments tried by him with targets and otherwise to prove its inefficiency. His Grace the Duke of 'Wellington, however, will, be the best judge, which is the most murderous or the two systems ; our trade is not that of War. The great Captain's military tour of in spection was prevented last year by the death of the Foreign Minister, whose place he was deputed to fill at Verona. How many painful recollections do the negociatious of the Duke now call up, when we look at the state of Spain ! How different was his conduct in diplo macy, from that be exhibited in war! The gl•eat Marlborough's negociations at the Hague, and elsewhere, were equally able as his military ex ploits at Families, Malplaquet, or Oudenarde.— But contrast Salamanca, Vittoria; 'or 'Waterloo, with the records of Verona, and how melancholy was the falling off of the victor at the latter ! Had the Duke opposed Montmorency and Nes '§elrode as he did Marmont and Napoleon, Spain would now be free. His Grace is a narrow and _EL short-sighted politician : he may urge the completion of the threatening. piles now , raising along the frontier,with the contribu Lions exacted by the allied armies frorn plundered France •, but when the day of revolution and Movement arrives, these bultiarks, however massive, will afford - little Tiro tectitin to the' despots who have reared therm— . The wholesale transfers of Paris and Vienna, by which Belgium was. confiscated for the newly created King of the Netherlands, and the rich Rhe nish provinces transferred to the despot of Bran denburgh, 'will then be annulled. The name of the great Duke figures at the bottom of all these treaties; he was an assenting party to the barter, by which Genoai in violation of British faith, was basely delivered to the paltry tyrant of Sar dinia—by which Saxony was dismembered— the carcase of once proud Venice flung to the Austrian vulture ; and Poland, associated with the name of the great Sobieski, and the deliverance of Christendom, was clutched by the ambitious barbarian of the North. The name and character of Britain were disgraced through out Europe by these vile treaties ; universal dis appointment and discontent followed on their, compulsory execution. The calmness of des pair for a while tranquillizes Italy, Germany, and other countries ; but the day of vengeance and of freedom will yet arrive ; and if the Duke of Wellington survives to see it, he will find that frowning battlement or buttress will be no stay against the united strength of millions. [MORNING eon.] French Papers to the 18th inst. arrived yes terday. No Monitcue was published on Satur day on account of the festival of, Assumption, and that of Friday made no allusion whatever to the unoffitial Telegraphic Dispatch of the day before, which it had been announced would, if true, be immediately confirmed by one of a more authentic nature. The Papers of Sunday are equally silent on the subject, and four days having elapsed without the arrival of the ex• pected confirmation, all idea of its ever coming was at an end, and all credit withdrawn from the communication of the Bayonne Commandant. Expectations of peace, however, continued ; but they were derived from a different source : not from the delivering up of the King and the flight of the Cortes, but from the prospect of an ar rangement with both. The great obstacle to this had hitherto been the determination of the French Government to believe, that VII less the King of Spain were give' up,- or surren dered himself to' he invading army, he must be a prisoner deprived of of authority iii the State.. In vain did' he issue manifestoes and pro clamations, vindicating his' free agency : they were ascribed, bithe same spirit of incredulity, to the dictation' of the Cortes ;. and, the' pretended Ally who eared so muely for Ferdinand's per. weal-safety as to incur the dangers" of war,- and to inflict its devastations upon Sprain, under the pretence of tender solicitude, cared so little for his honour' as to &vac aft Ids assertion's as false hoods, and his most sirlemit assurances as wilful perjuries. The first object was therefor e to remove . the impression that Ferdinand' was a complete slave,- and wished for the' destruction of the Coestitution and the restoration of ab.. solute despotism. For - this purpose it is note fluid that the Duke of Angouleme has beeti invited by the Cortes to come to. Cadiz, and eyes that the King is . con vince himself with his owe' free and friendly to' the Constitution, and that they are not unwilling that its imperfections should be removed. The Duke, on the other hand, is represented as" having acceded to the request ; and t h e w h o le statement is strongly corroborated, if not placed beyond a dotrbt, by the Waite, w hich says that he . %vas to quit ..the heads quarters of the army at Cordova to 46 proceed post to Cadiz,' The same Pap er odds th a t the :moderate party, to - which . both Morillo and Bal. lasteros t . longed ' . had triumph e d, a nd th a t th e b King was left at liberty to go in or out of the town as he thought proper. Private letters hold the same language. According to one, 46 The Cortes had, in conjunction with the King and the Governor of Cadiz, dispatched a courier with a carriage and four horses to meat -the Duked'Angouleme, in order to hasten his arrival at that place, where every thing was arranged for a full and peaceable settle ment of all differences ; the King and his family were not allowed to quit Cadiz, but were at per fect liberty in the town." According to another 1 ----" The whole business, as far as yegarded fight- ieg, was at an end, and nothing , remained but the{ presence of the Doke to put the finishing stroke to the arrangement."—ft must be seen that by putting the King forward, and trust big tp his promises and declarations in fa• your of Constitutional freedom, backed as they are by those ef Morillo and Ballasteros even at the hour of defection, the Cortes. terminate at once the existence of their great enemy, the Ma-, drid Regency, and relieve the Duke of Angou leme from all the difficulties and impediments in which the unruly violence of the Regency had begun to involve him. From the mo ment that the King of Spain is acknowledged to be free by the French Generalissimo, the Madrid Regency ceases de ludo and de jure to exist, for its power was only to last during the alleged captivity of the Spanish Moiiarch. The temporary s u b m i ss i o n of Melillo and Bal. lasteros to that body then becomes nuga tory, and th e i r ar mies return under the au . therity of -the King and- the Cortes, who continue to exercise a share in the Govern ment of the country. It was probably, as we remarked yesterday, the prospect of some arrangement of this kind, which induced Belles terns to treat with Molitor and the Duke of An gouleme, and it was also perhaps the dread of it which rendered the Madrid Regency so hostile to the Duke's journey, and so urgent in its demands 'to be allowed to accompany him. , The Slat u lt. an I n quest was held at Binning-1 toil, near Chesterfield, before CikottnE tioaLtwo, (lent.

Verd i c t accord ingly. • - intOVINCIA.L JOI/RMAM: ( From the Sta f fordshire Advertiser, Aug. 16.) We h&ve copied from the Courier of Wednes. day, Under the head of " Most Important News," an article of some length, detailing the difficulties arising out of the iier ' verse violence of, the Royalists, by which the progress of the French army and the interests of the Bourbons, are embarras sed, all which impediments are imputed by the writer to the sinister intrigues of Russia. • A Morning Paper of Thursday ( The Herald) denies the authenticity Of the article in question, and claims a property in all its leading suggestions, by the title we presume, of invention , for if these averments were founded in truth,-the Morning Editor could have no pretence for setting up a claim to knolledge of their truth to the exclusidn of !di evening contemporary. The fact is, that there is not a single proposition In the irm; portent news which must not have been obvious to every man endtied with the least portion of common sense, or which has not been again and again advanted in most of the newspapers of tire empire. That the unmanageable Violence of the Spanish Royalists wad the chief cause of the universal desertion from the Government of all moderate men, and conseqUently of the temporary success of the revolutionary party, has been long no torious. That the same unmanageable violence has repelled the nation from the cause of the King and the Church, and given the strength of despair to the democracy, i 3 equally cer-f tain, and . there wants not. the form of logical deduction to in: fer from these premises that the impracticable folly of these Royalists is the great difficulty which the French have to oVer colue--a difficulty; however, which must be overcome before any approach can he made,to the pacification of Spain. The part which Russia is said to have taken in the affairs of Spain, though it admits not of equally direct proof, is scarcely less certain. The prominent share which Russia had in the ne gociations at Verona is sufficient evidence of the lively interest with which that power is affected by the affairs of western Eu rope ; in this negotiation, it will be remembered, Russia did not act with the coldness of a disinterested accessory, but with all the zeal of a principal. The same zeal she had manifested during four preceding years, and it still seems to burn with un.: abated fervour. Now it is notori p us that mere dissimulation can scarcely be sustained so long at ad high a pitch, and we are, - therefore, bound to believe that the anxiety of Russia with re spect to the state of Spain is as lively as it is said to be ; but we are not bound to believe that it arises from the causes to which it is ascribed. The state of Greece.—Let us look back here, and we shall find ample means to solve the problem. It is a point which has never been denied by Russian statesmen, that Russia, dur ing more than half a century, has contemplated the acquisition otthe European portion of the Turkish Empire; and that she has merely delayed, without ever relinquishing the enterprise, in submission to the jealousy of tly , other European States, and in the confidence that the impaired, and still decaying, power of the Porte could never present a serious opposition, when an op. portunity to rise and take possession, should be afforded by the embarrassments of Europe. • Had Napoleon aspired to less than universal dominion, the cross of St. Michael had long since surmounted the cupola of St. Sophia.—But though that Tyrant lost all by the attempt to grasp all, his power for a time curbed the ambition of Alexan der ; and, at the moment of his fall, the principles of national justice were too fashionable to permit Russia to disclose her naked views of plunder; besides, there still remained the hope which had so long delayed the fate of Greece, namely, that the ultimate acquisition of that country was inevitable. A new I)lwer has, however, since arisen, which bids fair to extinguish that hopo for ever. Greece has declared that she will be Tree; and, associated with the free naval power of England, and the great military power of France—nations which have a common interest in maintaining the independence of Greece, and resist ing the aggrandizement of Russia, Greece has nothing to fear. Nninan who reflects that the Porte, with all its suicidal mis. manitzement, with its stupidities and abominations, which made it alike the scorn and loathing of mankind, has been yiruersoeiriveeadn powers,through cecantnutideosuof t dotage prosperity p tli e e rityofa jealousies Christian t the an State upon , the same soil, in the" elasticity of youth and the b o f the vigour of a fret Constitution. • What then remains for Russia ? To embroil' the west-of Europe, that she may snatch perhaps one oiinortunity from the chapter of accidents to enslave the country she has so long coveted,: Which is otherwise likely to pass fronylier for ever: This is the true motive of Alexander's interference at . Veronit', and his intrigues in Spain, a motive much more congenial to his character and conformable to his interests than any dread of deniecratie principles, which he, of all European princes, luta least reitson to care for_; or any de votion to aristoc ra ti ca l power , w hi c h , of all mankind, he has most cause to dread, Whether, thaefore, the Journalists, who claim• to kn ow th a t Russian agents are employed to fan the decaying fireb ra nd i n S pa i n, speak truly or not; the fact shoidd be as littl e do u bt e d, as a the secret instructions of the autocrat were thrown open to the world. _ _ BREACH' or P noss tse.—ltr h the greater part of Saturd a y ( t oh e n occu pied by the trial o f an act i on f or breach ßecord a so C f ourt pro mise of marriage, brought by Miss MARY ANNE LEONAR», u young lady of 22, against BIDDY HARTFORD, Esq., a widowed gentileman of 60, and the father of eight children. Its chief inte rest was caused by the talents of the lawyers em ployed for the plaintiff. Mr. DOHERTY opened the case with his usual ability. During his statement he kept the Court in a roar of laughter ; and Mr. Smut., in speaking to evi dence, commanded profound silence, by the splendour of his eloquence and the power of his appeals to the hearts of the Jury. _When he sat down, there was a simultaneous clapping of hands through the crowded Court. After a short deliberation, the Jury, which was special, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, 3251. damages, and Cd. costs.—( Kilkerm,y Paper.) E X TRAORDINARY CASE.—An extraordinary case of hydrocephalus, or water of the brain, is just now exciting the interest of the medical gen tlemen of Salisbury. The bead of an infant, be fore any operation was performed, at the age of six (now only seven) months, was of the follow ing astonishing dimensions : round the forehead and back part of the head 30 inches, and from ear to ear, across the vertex, 21 inches ; which measurements will be better understood by stating, that the larger circumference of the adult head averages but 22 inches, and from ear to ear but 12 ; and of a healthy child of she months old, the largest circumference averages 16, and from ear to ear nine inches. The infant, belonging to respectable parents, is under the im mediate treatment of one of our surgeons, and is submitted to a novel practice, viz. the removal of the water by degrees, through the means of ope ration, and at the same time the employment of pressure. The infant has undergone the opera tion five times, and one hundred and ten ounces (nearly seven pints) of water have been re. moved. The present state of the infant, and the effects of the operations and treatment are such as afford well-grounded hopes that, for this dis ease, considered hitherto as hopeless, a remedy has at length been found.—( Salisbury Journal). IVlELancuoror ACCIDENT.—EarIy on Tuesday morning considerable alarm was excited by the appearance of a hat floating on the Canal, and a dog and umbrella lying on the bank, near the first bridge beyond Gilmour Place. It was with too much truth conjectured that some person had fallen in, and drags were employed for some time with out success. A boat passing about twelve o'clock brought up a corpse, which was recognized to be that of Thomas Armstrong, a currier, who left Gorgie at 11 o'clock the preceding night, in a state of inebriation. lie was seen about half past eleven o'clock by a bargeman, of whom he inquired how he might cross the canal, who pro. perly directed him. It is thought that he had been in the act of washing his face, and had un fortunately fallen in. lie resided in the Plea sance, and has left a wife and five children.— (Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 14.)

Sunderlatul CAUTION TO PARENTS.—At about twelve o'clock yesterday, two over-driven beasts, going down Shoe lane, ran at several persons, who, however, with one exception, succeeded in escap ing from the threatened danger ; two children were standing near the door of Mr. Bradford, an Apothecary, as the furious beasts passed, one of them ran at the youngest, (a fine boy about two years and a half old) and tossed it at least six yards from the ground ; the little innocent fell upon its side in the gutter, and, by almost a mi racle, escaped unhurt. The oxen were eventually turned under a gateway, and secured in a leather warehouse. They had every appearance of having. been over.driven, and presented an additional in• stance of the necessity of Mr. Igattm's human° legislative enactment.
