Turkish 'soldiers. at \ Taira in cold blood has alwape been considered bne-of the most atrocious_ acts Ctt BT:ONAFARTE. But according tit the account of Dr. CLARKE, in the second part of his Travels, recently published, he w s as not .able tos gain any proof -on the .spot, that such an .event bad ever happened. ' The following is the account which he giVeseand us the life of nuoNAriTE has been ufficieatly flagitious, there is -tio. reason that. we thOuid " On Horror's head horrors accnmulate," . and therefore it is certainly incumbent upon Sir ROBERT WILSON' .to justify his - narration. CLARKE says, " Jaffa; appeared to be almost in as forlorn a state . as Rama.; I,lle, an : itself was still infected with the . smell of un'tviried bodies. We . went to the house of the En fish Consul, whose grey hairs had notCxemptecl hinyfrom bench tort:on. He had just ventured to hoist again the British gag Upon the *viol:A - if his dwelling; j' he told us, ceitb tears" in his eyes, that it was ftie; only proftf of welcome he could - offer teFeea k seehe French -Officers and 13V07.APARTE, had Vipped him of. every tlking he pos&essed. iloweth, in the midst of all his complaiws against the'Vrench, • not a syllable ever escaped his lips respecting the enormities supposed 'to be committed .14 . . means of BuoicAP'Aterit's Orders or cortnivanceiest.l . town nnd neighbourhood of Jolla. thefe are so many living witnesses to attest tt,e truth of ttii'L presentation, and the character of no ordinary in-: diviclual is so much implicated in its result, the ut-, most attention will be here peel to every particular likely to illustrate : the her ; and for this 'especial reason, becaun.that c-4erily. At the the time lee wereinJafFa, so soon _efter the supposed transactions are said to have; oceurref, the indigna, Lion of our Consul, and of the inhabitants in general , againsttbe French, were of so deep a nature, that there is nothing they would not have said to vilify BUOItidFARTE or his Officers ; but this accusation they never-even hinted. is this all : upon the evening of our arrival at Jaffa, walking with Captain CULVERHOUSE along the ;shoreJo the }cur.ll of the town . , r ill order to join some of our peaty rho were gone in.search of plants and a powerful and most offensive smell, as I oet dead bodieS,which we had before experienced Itiore than once, in approaching the -.:own, caused us to hesitate whether we should proceed or re turn. At this moment the author. observed the remains of bodies in the sand, and Captain CUL V%RHOUSE.beink in doubt whOher they belonged, to 'euman bodies or those of cattle, removed a part of the sand with his sxord, and uncovered part of a hand and arm. Upon this, calling to our friends, we told them what we had discovered, and retnteecng to the Consul's - house, asked him the cause of the revolting spectacle we had wit nessed-.-He told us that these were the remains of bodies 'carried thither during the late plague for interment,. but 'that the .sea, frequently re moving the sand, which covered them, caused them to be thus exposed ; and be cautioned us in future against walking that way, as the infection might possibly be ketained, not only by those bo dies, 'but by the clothes and other things there de. pjsited." -The foundation-stone-olthe new Lunatic Asy lum of Dundee, waslaid lately by Lord Viscount DUNC Vg, in the presence of - a vast concourse of people.' • An interesting occurrence took place at Volk ingtani on Tuesday evening se'nnight.---A poor woman, who had obtained a pass - liiitet to remain there all night, was sitting by the fire in the kitchen of the Greyhound inn, with an infant child at her breast, when two Chimney-sweeps carte in, who had been engaged to sweep - sonic cf the chimneys belonging to the Inn earlynezt =io-rnitig.. They-were, according to custom, treat ed. with a supper, which they had began to eat, when the younger, a boy about seven years of age, Ifq - pening to cast his eyes upon the Avorgan - (who- bad been likewise vie Wing them nvitli a tix'ed attention from their first entrance), suddenly start ed up, and exclaimed in a frantic tone—" .That's my Mother and immediately flew ,into her arms ! It 'appeared that 114. r name is Mary Bavis, and - that she is the wife of a private in the 2d re ' giment of Fcot Guards, now serving in the Penin sula; she resides iu Westminster ; her husband • quitted her to 'embark for foreign service on thc 20th of last January; and on the 28th of the same 13fallth she left her son' in the care of a woman who ccetipied the front rooms of her house, while she went to wtsh'for a family_in the neighl , ourhood on her return in the evening, the woman had 7de camped with her son, and, notwithstanding every . effort was made to discover their retreat, they bad not since been heard of; but having lately been in formed that the woman was a native of Leeds, 4irie had come to the resolution of going there in search - of her child, and with this view had walk er! ?roan London to Folkingham, a_distance of 100 'milts, with an infant not more than 6 weeks old in her arms. TLe boy's master stated, that about the latter end of last January he met a woman..and boy in the Vicinity of Sleaford, where he resides; Si::appeared very ragged, and other Wise much dis trosed,n and. was at that time beating tone boy most severely; "she . then accosted him (the mas ter}, saying she was in great distress, and a long way from home, andiafter some further pre . liminary conversation, said, if he would give her 2 guineas to enabled her to get home, she would bind her son apprentice to him; this proposal was agreed to, and the briy was regularly indentured, the wo man-having previonsly made affidavit as to being his own mother — ., This testimony was corrobo rated by the 'boy himself ; hut as no doubt re mained in. the_mind of master, one respecting the boy's -real mother, his without any far - tin ceremony, resigned him to her. The inha . bitants interested themselves very humanely in the poor wom:zn's behalf, by not only paying her coach fare back to London (her children having been (feed by one of-the proprietoes), but also'by coll e cting for her the sum of two pounds five POLTCE. ~ Ttl,DttAt.i..—Several of the light 7 fingrerect gen try, who had been extremely active in the pursuit of their a-.-ocations in St. tarthOlOtheiv Fair ) were yesterday brought to this.ofiiee. Joh.4 Lawrence was charged by Mr. Nader, the Deputy City Marshal, with beini , a reputed thief, and with -being found amongst the r crowd in the fair, endea'vouring to glean a - few trifles in the way 'of pocket-books and watches. Lieveral pocket handkerehiels ivere found in his nos'session but as no prosecutor appeared, he was rernanded.untii Tues{ — lay l lest he might be tempted to commit some serious acts of depredation during this season of revelry. Ti . !zomas Raylis was fully committed to take his trial, for picking the 'pocket •of John Latimer, in the : fair on the pre ceding night, of a pocket-book. He was caught in the fact by Chamberlaine, the . officer, and endeavoured to exr. - dr himself by stating, that the bOok had fallen np into his grand from the pocket of the prosecutor. ,Solonictit .80/oinans, charged v:ith cutting the se , d froin a gentleman's. watch with a knife, was rzYmanderl till Tuesday; as were johil lluggins and John Harris, chara;ed to be pickpockets. . . A person, of themime of "John iliorgan) who : Stated himself to be amaster painter and glazier, residing in White-street, Spital-fields . , charged yrith a cruel assault, on arespectable looking boy, not mare than 11 years-.of age, named William Xiisbey, nishew, to Mr. Kilsbey, of- Windmill street, St. John-street. It appeare,l from the Btdtpinent of the child, that as he was ;passing tip.ongh•the fair on the preceding night; about a. quarter after nine, he was very - muchpushed,.and in endeavouring to - extricate himseit, be acci dentally put his hand against the prisont."2r ; who, with the ferocity of a tiger, turned'round, seized him by the hair, forced his lingers into his mouth, tore out one of his ,teeth, and dragged away a great-part of the qlveolary - procvss of the jaw ; 1;e - - Mes leaving other sanguinary marks of ,h is nails on the_ child's face and neck. Air. 'saltier declared that he never saw a i4n_ conduct lihnelf, in all ;respects 'more like a savage, both - at the time . of the assault alleged, and in his au bsequent con duct, when taken before Mr. Holdsworth, at the Ram Inn. The friends of the .child at - tended, and said, that as they understood the prisoner had a wife and a large family, they were disposed to forego a prosecution, upon condition of his giving a sum of money to a charitable institution, and acknow ledging hii error. This the prisoner agreed to do, and he .was directed by Sir John Lanier ; to pay two guineas to the Marine Society, and to be de tained.in custody till it was paid. ,Bow-STREET.—Yesterday, Jacklini who was tliAccted a few night's since in Brentford,' with loaded pi“olt, supposed to be for the purpose of house-brewl9ng,. was brought to the OlEce fur firtber examination. • Mr,. Nmlts inquired if he had eiterobeen 'ton vieted, and was answered that he had not'; but it was ascertained that he had been several tiniel in custody. cave, the patrolc, stated, that on the evening preceding the night of the prisoner being appre._ . tended, be saw him in a chaise-cart, on the roam to Brentford, it comoany with a 11 - ko w thief' of the name of 81'yl , n, and another thief, whdse name he did not snow. . Mr. NARE':, called upon the prisoner to account for his having the il.3telunents found on him; when lie said, that he and bie3 brother-in-law were engaged in a violent dispute, respecting 11 houses in :11 7 ssaninster, ore of which he occupied, and crrica the loaded. oktols to defend himself. ,A Magistrate, sitting by the side of Mr. NAnEs, who resides at Brentford, stated, that when he was brought before him on the morning after be was apprehended, his defence was then quite dif ferent ; he then gated, that as he had 3/. in his posSessoti, he had aright to carry loaded pistols. '..:;AP„ss eonyicted him as krogue and vaga bond, trade,. the 23d of George lit; for having the loadtel'pktols in his possesion, with an intent to commit felony. e • Bo tar;-sTr, E n Wed n esday - afternoon, a person . :tyus brought in the custod of another man; who stated that, he had met his prisoner in the street, and had brought him there in' conseqUence of his basing defrauded him 'of a rum of money soma time since. On NARE3 inVeMigatillg the charge, be discovered that the transaction ameamted to a debt ; and on -an eXplariatiOn of the connection of the.parties, it appeared,' that the .man who had been brought in custody, had given evidence against the other, -as being concerned with the late Colonel Despard, and his condut in endeavouring to convert a debt into a fraud was a matter of revenge. The male who brought the ether a prisoner was in consequence ordered to find bail for the assault. MAneßonourin-sTREFer.-e 7 -• Daniel Livermore, a coachman, NvaS . charged with an assault on wife. The parish of St. George, in conjunction with the Directors of Middlesex Hospital, were the prosecutors for the injured woman on this occasion, —.lt appeared by the testimony adduced that, fin. a long . time, the wife of the delentaet bad slifferedea series of cruelties, which had es caped legal notice*; but the last case of this de scription. was such as necessarily gave rise to in cuiry. The poor woman had received a fractiereki skull from the violence of her husband, which, did trot,: providentially; deprive her of life, but re duced her to a state of insensibility., and she remained so several days without being able to give any account of what caused the,torpor under which she laboured. The lensband was committed, in default of bail until the Sessions. ' A singular phenomenon was to' be seen last month, in a , garden at Niort, in the department of Deux Sevres, in France : the branches on one side of a plumb tree were loaded with ripe' fruit, while that OD the ether side was hardly formed.

Substitute, for Yeast.—The difficulty; at times, of procuring_ yeast, particularly in places remote from breweries, must render, a substitute desira 77 ble : and the following,. we are assured by per sons , who have frequently used it, ans A.-rs, in bread making, every purpose as fully as the best yeast.--,One ounce of the ; best hops, .boiled for half an hour in a gallon of water, which, when strained from the hops, is to have half xpound of flour, well nixed with it---`t ;e whole to be, put a bottle or keg ; to be kept for three days, alter which it «ill be fit for We. The same proportion to a given quantity of flour as is used of the real yeast will be sufficient for fermentatitin. A few potatoes mashed with the„ dough, renders the bread lighter. By reducing the ingredients in a .proportionate degree; ally smaller quantity wished for may be made.. It will keep for a month in cool Weather. .
