CREDULITY.—At the Devon County Sessions, on Thursday se'nnight, a woman was examined for having, on pretence of being a fortune-teller, ex torted front a servant girl, at Sidmouth, the sum of three poundS and upwards. It appeared from the girl's evidence, that the woman, about 40 years of age, applied to her, vying that she would make her fortune in 'a few days, if she would produce what money she had. The girl brought her three 11. notes, a 55. 6d. piece, and a 35. piece, which the woman wrapped cautiously up,. gave to the girl, and said she would 'shortly call again, ,but that the parcel must not be opened. On her next visit, she asked the girl if she had obeyed her injunction in not opening the parcel ; the girl said yes (though, in, reality, she had opened it, and found all right) ; she was then reqUired to produce the parcel, when the woman, on opening it, said she must have the dollar, tying up - the rest as before, and that she would be there the morning following. She came according to appointment, mad had the parcel brought forward, when she took from her pocket some yellow silk, and desired the girl to step up stairs, take three feathers from. her pillow and bring' to her, while she was tying up the parcel with the silk. The girl did as requested, and the woman tied up a parcel exactly resembling the other, in, which she had enclosed scraps of paper similar to the notes, and two pieces of slate cut round to the' size of the silver coin ; under the Silk string she stuck the feathers, and told her, that on -Saturday 'morning she would call again, when two thousand guineas, would jump up through the floor, aecom= panied with one thousand pounds worth of silver. The girl, shortly after the woman was gone, opened the parc'el, and, on finding the deception, went to a constable, who, after a considerable time spent in pursuit, took her, and conveyed her to prison; On her apprehension, she said the girl lent her the mo ney, gave it all up, and otleredthe Constabk five shillings' to let her go. She was found Guilty, imd sentenced to be imprisoned for the spaCe ot twelve months.

ME RECENT'S The proof by the Company in support of the Pre amble their Bill, tas been closed since our last in sertion on this subjeet. In addition to the strong• case we then stated, Mr. S. JONES, the Engineer, has . been called, and his evidence not only cor roborated the preceding testimony, - as to the practi cability of the Canal, the whole line of which he had surveyed, but disclosed the following important faCts:— He had calculated the expense of freightag e, lighterage, cartage, loading and unl oa din g of coals, t and other heavy goods as now paid, and the expense that would attend abeir delivery by the proposed Catial, and the saving that would thoreby be made, he explained- to certain points, and the pares Un-* mediately adjacent, as thus-from " Likehouse to Hackney, coals are at present delivered at 12s. per chaldron ; by the new canal 'they would cosy' 7s. Bd. saving 3s. 4d. Ditto at Islington, present ex pence 1 Is. ; by the Canal, Bs. 6M. swing 2s. sdi, To Kentish Town ,s now, 12s. 6d. ; by the Canal, Bs. 7id, saving 3s. 100. To Alpha Cottages, &c. now is.; by Canal, Bs. saving 29. Id. To Paddington the same, and to Aske Terrace, &c. now gi. ; by Canal 73. Id. saving i slid:Mg and pence. Thus it appears that every consumer of coals on the South of the Canal from Ai.keTerr.ce to Finsbury-squire, from Islington to the Charter House, from Pentonville to Brunswick-square, from the Alpha Cottages to two-thirds -of the distance of the New-road to Nieman-square, and all ar.iund these parts and Paddington, will be enabled to save from 2s. to 4s. on' every chaldron of coals they`pur chase. On the north of the'Catial,,Highgate, Hamp stead, &c. the saving - will be itifinitely greater, viz, on coals, at the wharf at Islington, Bs. 4d. per chat. dron ; at , Kentish Town, Bs. l odd. ; at Paddington, 6s. ; Aske Terrace, ss. sd. and all die liVest ern 'extremity of Mary-le-bonne Park, 6s. td. Generally speaking,. the delii"Tery from the Ca nal towards, the Thames, will benefit the Pub lic to a longer distance than a line drawn ex atily beta een the two, •as three horses down hill will be able to do the - work of four up front the river, •and consequently the coals may be delvered to the purchaser, from the wharfs on the Canal; at a cheaper rate. The same gentleman slated, that equal advantage would arise on the tran-' sport of all building materials, paving -stones, tim ber, lime, and t very- species of heavy goods. As an example of this, he instanced the expense of pav ing, and from a plain calculation, shelved; that when the canal was navigable, streets on the north ern parts of the Metropolis' of 30 feet wide, might be ;paved with seven inch pavement at 183. 4d: per yard, carriage by water; whereas they now cost 11. gs. 4d. carriage by land and lighterage on Thames, and thus a saving of ios. Bd. per yard, or about g60l: per mile, would be made. , He hirther stated, that he had bad great experience in the car ri:-Ige of such goods in town and country, and spoke from his own knowledge do these matters. George Liftle„ a carman' to the Gland Junelion Canal, who is in the habit of delivering a great quantity of goods daily, proved the expense there of to be from Paddington to the East India Docks, • 13s. 4d. per ton-to the West India Docks, tos. and to Cheapside, &c. 6s. sd. ; a considerable portion of which would be saved by the new Canal, and the goods sustain less injury from not being so often un loaded. Tlhe number of carts or waggons (loaded to the weight of two tons, and daily cutting up the best streei.s of the Metropolis, which a &lid be rendered unnecessary by the canal, wool(' be 323, and not 223, as stated in our last. FURTHER PROCEEDINGS. Two witnesses were heard on the part of the Sewers, but their evidence amounted to nothing new. A new Petition from Mr. Porienan having been presented to the House, complaining that their - Standing Orders had not been 'coMplied, with, ths same was referyd to a Special Committee. They met, arid on a motion that Counsel should be heard in support of the Petition, they decided that they should 'not. The Petitiyn was then read, and corn plaitied generally that the Standing Orders of the House had not beer. complied with, but witho'ut specifying any particularcase. Upon this the Com mittee, after a short delibefation, came to the fol.' lowing resolution : " It was moved, that it was highly improper for the Agents (.f any Petitioner to deliver in after so many weeks hive elapsed since the Committee on the Bill have been sitting, any Petition containing a general allegation that the House has been imposed upon, without stating in what particular the circum stance has taken place; and that the extraordinary assertion that this -House has been impose) upon, has not in any respeet been substantiated." . Upon which the question king put, it passed unanimously, in the atlirMative. Saturday the Lord Mayor went in. his private coach and 'six horses, preceded by, a party of the London Militia, and attended by the. Governors of the Bethlenl and ,Biidewell Hospitals, Abe two Sheriffi,, Aldermen Sir J. Perring and. Sir R. C. Glynn, and laid, at three o'clock, the first stone, of the new Bethletn Hospital; on the site of the well known public- house formerly the DOg and Duck, in Si. George's-Fields. The procession passed over stacktriar's•bridge, and returned over Westminster bridge, and through Parliament-strvet and the S rar•J to the City. The Bishop of Carlisle was present and assisted at the ceremony. Sir Richatd'Carr Glynn preeicedi the busintss with an appropriate address, and after the stone was laid, the Chaplain of the Bride , Aell read _a player composed tor the occasion. A machine for cutting files with accuracy and dispatch has been made in the United States; it will pet form the labour of six or eight hands, and cut any description, from the coarsest to the finest, by changing one wheel or pinion. C;oioner'g inquest, in the case of Mrs. Mur.: ray and her servant for the murder of her husband, have returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder." The servant i committed to Chester Gaol; but Mrs. iViiirrav is not sufficiently - recovered from_ the wound, ititlided in the attempt which she made on her own ,Efe, - fur removal. MkitNit rd" Vtdkgitthit.-.Littotc.itior h*. we understand, succe- ded in a very important etpe riment-7-lhat of freezing quicksilver. A wide motneter tube, viii li a large-bulb', was filled with mercury, and ,attached to.a rod passi n g throu g h s t collar of leathers, from the top of a cylindrical re-. ceiver. This receiver, which was seven inches wild covered a deep flat ba.in of nearly the same .width, and containing. sulphuric acid, in the midst of whit h wag placed an egg-cup half full- of water. The en closed air being re , !uced.by the working of the puns to the both Part, the bulb was repeatedly dipped lit the water, and again exposed to evaporation, till it became incrusted with a coat of ice about the t fveng tieth part of an inch thick.
