BALLOONS. ASCENT OF MR. SADLER AT LEEDS. On Thursday morning Mr. SADLER gave notice that he would :mend at five in the afternoon, and the process of infla tion was soon afterwards commenced. The arrangements fur maintaining order both inside and outside the Cloth-hall gates were good, and all went on well, but for our own part we should have wished to have seen less of military array. The wind, however, was still too high for the easy inflation of the balloon, which was blown about so as materially to retard the entrance of the At fire o'clock the balloon was not half tilled, and soon atter, by the pressure of several persons against a rope at tached to the valve, the spring or the valve 'was unfortunately strained, and the gas began visibly to escape in the form of vapour. Mr.. Sadier, who had during the whole afternoon been busily and anxiously engaged, now perceived that it would be impossible, from the state of the wind, to take up the canopy, the flags, or any of the trappings of the car. At half-past six, the balloon being little more than half filled, he resolved immediately to ascend. The car was attached to the net-work of the balloon, ballast was taken in, and the whole machine was removed into the middle of the yard.— Even yet the gentleman who was to accompany him entertained hopes that it would be Bible for him to ascend, and he took his seat, opposite Mr. ‘4 rin the balloon, .in high spirits.— But when the cords were their extended coery greatest length, and the balloon waved high above their heads,. (the top being not less than eihty feet above the car,) it wait found not to have sufficient buoyancy to carry both gentlemen, together with such a quantity of ballast asprudence required to betaken. The savant, therefore, of necessity quitted the balloon, and, we are able to say, bore his disappointment, which was no small one, like a philosopher. Mr. Sadler now endeavoured to pro portion his ballast to circumstances, while the higher part of the balloon, which, from its upward pressure, had drawn the net-work into a regular and beautiful shape, was blown by tire wind in circles over the head of the aeronaut, oscillating and waving like the mast of a ship in a storm. At length, the word was given to the men who were holding the car, to " let go;" which they did; but the quantity , of bal last was so great that the machine did not ascend, but drew the car along just above the surface of the ground. It was soon seized by a number of persons in the yard (amongst the first by Mr. Green), and brought back to its former position, when a considerable quantity of ballast being heaved out, it was again loosed, and at twenty minutes to seven o'clock sprung into the air, amidst the acclamations of the surrounding multitude. Mr. Sadler waved his bat in answer to the shouts of the spectators, and was still waving it, when the acclamations were suddenly suspended,, es it was seen that the wind was carrying the aeronaut with a swing, against the sloping roof of the Cloth hall. He instantly resigned his bat, and when the car, in its oblique ascent, grazed with a concussion against the roof, threw his weight on one aide so as to right it, two bags of ballast at the same time flying out from the shock. All this was the work of a moment, anti no sooner had the car cleared every obstruc tion, than the intrepid Aeronaut 'matched up his hat, and wav ed it in token that be was uninjured, while the crowds below, relieved from their painful anxiety, gladly answered his saluta tion. The voyager then stood up on the sides of the car, and drank the health of his friends on the earth. The balloon immediately assumed an upright position, and aticendeo rapidly, but still more rapidly sailed over the town, hi the direction of due cast. To those within the Cloth-ball yard it was soon lost, from the intervention of the buildings ; but we were fortunate enough to gain a position where we saw it holding on its steady majestic but rapid flight, on the wings of the wind, till it because a mere speck, and was lost in time distance. All the time it was passing over the town, Mr. Sadler continued to wave his hat, but in little more than 12 minutes he had vanished. The evening was beautifully clear, and the aeronaut would feel no inconvenience whatever from the gale, the balloon being carried with exactly the same velocity as the wind, and thus sailing, as it had been well expressed, " in the bosom of the air." Mr. Sadler arrived in Leali early on Friday morning, in a chaise-and-four. - - ASCENT Or Mt OEEEN AT LEEDS. This genttecnan, who has the luatiour"ef having first ascended with the cheap gas made from coal, and thus reduced the heavy expence of an aerial voyage, ascended on Friday afternoon, at 20 minutes to four o'clock, from the yard of the White Cloth hall, with a magnificent balloon, thirty-seven feet in height.— From the calmness of the day, he was enabled to fill the ma. chine with ease, and theprocess of inflation was completed within one hour and five minutes. Mr. Green had given notice of his intention to ascend at three o'clock; but the company continuing to flow in till half-past, it was that time when he set off' the last pilot balloon, and gave the signal of ascent. Being favoured with a calm and almost cloudless day, and having in conse. (pence completely filled his balloon, the ascent was much more Imposing than that of Mr. Sadler. It wee indeed, as magni ficent as any thing of this nature can be, wain , Mr. Green's car had few ornaments. The balloon soared, in a nearly per pendicular direction, steadily and majestically, towards the heavens ; the aeronaut, in the meanwhile, kith perfect self-pos session and cheerfulness, standing erect on the sides of his car, and waving his hand above his head, in answer to the loud acclaims of the admiring multitude. The crowds who had as sembled both far and near were immense—on buildings, church steeples L hill sides, and open spaces of ground to a great dis tance. The whole country seemed to have poured out its dense population to witness this magnificent spectacle. After standing two or three minutes Mr. Green sat down, and waved his flag out of the balloon for a considerable time. With the asseist ance of a telescope, we afterwards saw him let out a rope from the car, which continued to hang suspended, for the purpose, we believe, of preventing the rotatory motion which the balloon has a tendency to assume. In a few minutes we perceived him shoot a bag of balast out of the car, and for twenty minutes afterwards we were able to discern the columns of sand which he discharged at intervals. lie evidently rose a considerable height, and, from the extraordinary clearness of the day, the balloon was distinctly seen with the naked eye for upwards of 25 minutes after the assent: we kept the machine in sight nearly ten minutes longer, and saw it shining brilliantly in the sun a little before a cloud interposed and hid it from our sight. it Wan then in the direction of Pontefract, hut rather more to ' the south-west, and certainly at a much greater distance than that place. . 21fercery Office, Saturday morning, half-past 3 o'clock. We stop the press to state ' that Mr. Green has had the mis fortune to lose his balloon. After a tine voyage he descended in the neighbourhood of Exey, nine miles northward of Gains borough, twelve from Doncaster, and about forty from Leeds. litre lie found the lower current of the atmosphere blowing a hurricane. On descending to the earth, lie threw out the grappling iron in it fallow field, where, after dragging for some distance, the car struck violently against a rail, and stunned M r.Oreen with the shock ; thegrippling-iron then caught firmly hold of the same rail, and from the velocity with which the balloon was flyii!, snapped the cable, and threw the aeronaut from a sma height to the ground, lie was com pletely stunned by the fall, and severely bruised. The balloon, ligned of all its weight anti ballast, though containing only a small quantity of gas, Instantly sprung aloft, and in twenty minutes vanished from the sight. From the vast elevation which it seemed to attain after the accident, and the great velo city with which it flew, all hope of securing by following it was lost. Mr. Orem, therefore, though suffering considerable pain, immediately set out, and arrived here at a quarter to two o'clock this morning. .He states that his voyage teas extremely de lightful, and the elevation he attained upwards of two miles : the thermometer then stood at 21, being tour degrees below the freezing point, and the barometer at ill inches and a half. 111 r. Green offers a reward of 101. to any one who shall restore his balloon, without its having sustained any material injury. We must confess we entertain fears of the balloon having gone out to sea, in which case there is no hope of saving it except it should have reached the coast of Holland.--{ Leeds MR, GRAHAM'S ACCOUNT OF HIS ASCENT. Aftgternmencing our ascent, we in a few momenta lost sight of the assembled multitude, St. Paul's appearing only as a dimi nutive building.. and the shipping in the River like Children's toys. Our cantle lay over Waterloo and London bridges, Green wich, and Blackheath. We had now mounted to a great height, and which we found by the barotnrier to be nearly a mile ; and riming through a cloud we found i t rat h e r c o ld and damp. The cloud ap p ar ently separated, and did not seem inclined to re-unite: while throttgh the aperture we clearly saw the earth, free from any misty appearance, which some bare described as being the case. We then changed our course to the southward, m inutea, and then returned to the same di. for the .space of five section as the first. Through the powerful rays of the sun the gas expanded, and we plainly heard it rushingthrough the safety pipe, with a loud hissing noise; and as it escaped it became as nytble as the smoke from a chitnnev, assuming a yellowish brown appearance. I then judged it advisable to pull the valve. line, and notwithstanding the valve thus became open we still discovered we were ascending, by throwing out small bits of paper. In about half-a-minute's time, it was plain that the balloon had began to descend, in consequence of which we dos ed the valve. At this time we were at our greatest height, which we calculated by our barometer to be two miles anti a quarter. My friend, Mr. Harris, observed he felt himself very warm, probably through some &tweed= of the solar rays by the machine. And as for my own pert, Imy say, that although at this great height I felt no extra sense of cold, ,but we both felt extreme thirst. At this tune also the clouds surrounded us like so many silvered mountains, and above our heads the at mosphere was serene beyond all idea. We also discovered that the balloon, car, and ourselves, were each reflected in the most beautiful manner, with al the different colours, on the surface of the clouds, but much diminishedin size. The grandeur and loveliness of this spectable it is impossible to describe. The valve being closed, and the, solar rays powerful, we discovered we were floating on an equilibrium,--the paper which we threw out doing the same, only descending by its own gravity, which was very slowly. Soon, however, we began to descend, and discovered .the fields in appearance like a beautiful carpet, bordered in its various shapes with rich green velvet. Still keeping our easterly direction, we soon discovered the English Channel, with SOuth End bearing to the north east; the Nore, Sheerneas, and the River Medway, to the east ; observing the Medway and Rochester Bridges, and Cole Wood beneath us, adjoining the immense Park of Earl Darnley. While over Woolwich Warren a cannon was fired, the flash and smoke we Saw. Still descending, we threw out three bags of ballast., which caused us to skim over the wood, with a hundred yards of the extremity. We now threw out the grappling-iron, - and the car touching the top of the trees, and the balloon then ascending, but probably through the erappling-iron taking hold, caused us again to descend.— Thus we were drawn between two trees, as to our great sur prise the grappling-iron took no hold until we had passed between them, the netting of the balloon carrying away part of the upper branches. Such was the velotity with which the ma. chine moved that the grappling-iron seemed to pass through the hedge without any resistance. We now descended in a turnip field, skimming along the surface, the car touching the ground, and thus we proceeded over three or four acres of ground, until, by holding down the valve line, the gwi had escaped sufficiently for us to get out, which we did without the least personal injury, being kindly assisted by Mr. Thomas Clayton, gamekeeper to the Earl of Darnley, and we were im mediately surrounded by a number of his friends, who rendered their assistance in the most prompt manner, by carrying the machine to the Coach and Horses, Stroud-hill; near Rochester bridge; which was about a mile and three.quarters from the place of our descent; from whence we proceeded to town, where we arrived safely, in a post-chaise, with the machine, the same night, after being in the air nearly 65 minutes. ANCIENT JEWS. A certain Netherlander was requested by his friends to learn as much as possible from the Jews that inhabit the coast of Malabar, by what means they came. first into that country, and from what stock they derived their origin ; where upon he' desired one Rabbi DAVID, a person of great reputa tion among them, to write an account of their first arrival into that country, and from him he received the fol lowing letter :—" After the second temple was destroyed, (which I wish may be speedily rebuilt in our days !) our fathers dreading the conquerers' wrath, departed thence, being above 10,000 men, women, priests and Levites, and came into these parts. Tncre were among them men oegreat wisdom, It pleased God that these people found grace in the sight of the King, who at that time reigned in India, so that he granted them a province called Singili or Craganor, near the city of Korie e. Cochin), which they alone were to inhabit, without any mixture of foreigners. He allowed them also a sovereign jurisdiction, that they should have Kings to reign - over them in a continued series throughout all ages. this is written and sealed. with the King's seal, and engraven on a plate of brass, a 'with steel graver pointed with a diamond, that his suceeesors might not charge us with a lie, or .change the contract. This was done in the year, (from the creation of the world,) 4250, and this brazen table .we hove still in possession. We enjoyed that form of government one thousand years; so that every man sat under his own vine and under his own fig-tree peace ably. The number . of. Kings that reigned in Singuli were 72. During'the space Of 'this 10,000 years, same Jews that were banished frism Spain came thither, because they hail !testa of • this principality,, which was granted to the Jews. There came also the Abraham Ben Ezra and his son R. Jehuds Levita.— They brought with them hither into Singuli the silver trumpets made use of at the time of the Jubilee, which were saved when the second temple was destroyed; and we have heard from our fathers that there acre engraven upor: those trumpets the knee: i?f* Seitex NAUTHORA3CII, that it, the inefletble name of (Jod. But at last discord arising among the Brethren that were of the blood royal, and each of them atTheting the king ' dom, one of them addressed himself toe powerful Indian King, sought assistance front him, and bringing greet forces, destroyed all their houses, palaces, and strong bolds ; dispossessed the Jews that inhabited them, killed part of them, and carried the rest into captivity, so that they were dispersed Into diem coun tries. But their number Was so diminished, that very few of . them were left remaining. Some of those exiles went' dal dwelt in the town of Koni ' • and we who now dwell in that same town are very few in number. There are amongst us of the children of Israel, who came from the country of Castile, from (loosen tino, the land of Aschkenas, from Egypt, the town of Tzeba, besides those Jews that formerly inhabited this country," &c. They say, moreover, that all of them have the same rite's, with out the least difference, and that their forms of prayer do per fectly agree with those made use of by the Spanish Jews. They use the Hebrew tongue, but at the same time every one speaks the language of his own country. This Netherlander made also some inquiries himself, which in the result agreed with the Rabbi's letter, except that instead of one thousand, which when out of Jeruealem, others say seventy thousand. Ile observes, most of them are now black, like the Ethiopians, except about twenty-five families, who retain their white colour, or at least one very near it. lie a dds, that roost of them are ambitions of deriving their origin from Europe; so that there are only three women and two men who are looked upon as the genuine offspring of those that sled front Jeru salem, and settled themselves first in that country. They call their leader, under whose conduct they departed from Jertuta, lam, and travelled into those countries, • Joseph Ilebaana ; and the Indian King who gave them suchkind entertainment and large privileges, they name Keram Periontat. The Male barian character on the brazen table, formerly mentioned, and which those Jews keep at this day with extraordinary care, differs exceedingly from their modern characters, so that the most learned among them cats scarcely read or underst a nd them. King did appears plainly by the table of brass, that the above King did grant great privileges and royalties to Joseph Rabasna, his son, daughters, grandchildren, sons-in-law, and all their posterity, whilst sun and moon endure A.

The following is the very interesting story, on which the tragedy of Julia is founded. It was re lated by the clergyman of the place where the facts happened " Some years ago, John Andrew Gordier, a gentleman of French extraction, and of considerable fortune in the island of Jersey, was upon the pant of marrying the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Guernsey ; but on a sudden - he was lost to his friends and relations, as well as to the lady who was to have been his bride; and, notwithstanding the most diligent inquiry in both islands, with every possible starch that could be made, not the least intelligence could be obtained, either of his death or his retreat. " It happened, however, that, after a time, when all dis course concerning him had subsided, his body was accidentally found in Guernsey, by some boys traversing the beach, with two wounds an the back. and one on the head, thrust into the cavity of a rock, whose mouth was-so small, that it must have been with difficulty that the body could have been made to enter it. This discovery, with those evident proofs of murder, alarmed the two families; the former inquiries werein vain re newed; not the least light, either to countenance suspicion, or to ground conjecture, could be gathered, tntrace out the mur derer; and all that could be done was to pay the last duty to the remains of the unfortunate youth, by . pie:razing his funeral with all marks of unaffected sorrow. " The mother of the young gentleman remained inconsolable; and the lady to whom he WAS soon to have been wedded, pined in secret for the loss of the only man In the World whom she could love. She was, indeed, courted by a young merchant ; but though she was in a manner constrained by her parents to admit his addresses, she was inwardly resolved never to give him her hand. " The mother of Gordier, who never ceased to ruminate on the catastrophe which had befallen her son, was not a little so licitous for the welfare of the young lady, whom she looked upon as her daughterdn-law, sod whom she regarded with the greatest tenderness, as she heard how severely she was af fected by the sudden &pantos: of her intended husband. " Some years afterwards, being told that the young lady's life was in danger, she resolved to cross the sea that divides the islands, in o rder to afford her every consolation iu her power, by condoling with her, sharing her griefs, and thereby endeavouring to alleviate the sorrows of her heart. As attend. ants in her voyage Mrs. Gordier took with her a beloved brother and only surviving son. 'When they arrived, they were advised by the apothecary, who attended the young lady. not to surprise her by an unlooked-for visit, till she was prepared by degrees to receive it, but, notwithstanding all the care that could be taken, the sight of the mother brought to her mind the full remembrance of the son, and the shock was too great for her weak spirits to bear; she fainted upon the first ap proach of Mrs. Gordier, and it was with difficulty that she was brought to herself. The mother was curious to know every little circumstance that attended the last interview of the young lovers, and of all that had passed since the discovery of the murder of her son ; mot the young lady was no less earnest to prolong the conversation, but her fits returned at almost every period, and she could only say how tenderly they parted, and with what ardency she expected his promised return the next day. In was no small concern to the afflicted mother to gee the poor lady in this weak state, dying, as she plainly perceived she was, of a broken heart ; and the company present could not forbear vehement execrations against the author of this double distress. Mrs. (Thriller, all on a sudden, burst into a flood of tears, on seeing a jewel pendant to the young lady's watch, which she knew her son had purchased as a present to her, before he left the island of Jersey. The violence of het grief was observed by the young lady, who had just spirits enough to ask her the immediate cause. Being told that the sight of a jewel, the presentation of which to his beloved bride was to I be the pledge of their mutual happiness, revived in her mind her irreparable loss, the young lady wee seemingly struch with horror anti astonishment at the declaration, and touch .fog the jewel, as with an expression of contempt, sunk into the arms of her weeping visitor, and without =MN; II single word, except only breathed her last. The manner of her expiring seemed to involve a mystery. All present were astonished. The confusion which her death oecasioorel stopped, for some time, all further utterance; but when every means had been used to restore her, without being able to bring her to life • and when the effusions of sorrow, poured forth at her death, for a while ceased, all who were present began to speak what they thought of her behaviour in her last dying moments. Mrs. Gordier, who was totally unacquainted with the soft and delicate temper of the deceased, could not help dropping souse unfavourable expressions coneerningher manner of leaving the world, which she thought plainly indicated a, knowledge of the murder. Her own parents, who were present at the last affecting scene, fired with indignation at the insult oiThred to the unspotted innocence of their darling child, could not help resenting the ungenerous interpretation put upon the last closing moments of her blameless life. A scene of trouble , and mutual reproach ensued, which is easier to conceive than relate. Wizen the commotion, however, was a little abated, and reason began to take place, the friends of both families very cordially uiterposed, and endeavoured to reconcile the mothers by a cool examination of the circumstances that occasioned the imseesonable heat. " Young Mr. Gordicr recollected that he had heard his bro , they declare that the jewel in question was to be presented to his bride an her wedding day ; and, therefore, as that had never happened, his mother might he justified in her suspicions, though, perhaps, the lady might be innocent. The sister of the deceased calmly replied, that she believed the warmth that had happened tube founded on a mistake, which she thought herself happy in being able to correct. The jewel, she said, which her setter wore, was not preeented to her by Mr. Gordier, but was a present to her sonic years after his unhappy death, b y a y r M a r ss i c l i a i l o l u ia td n y l , pit a i v d er h y pi rt i zt r a e b stt l reputable n h h e a r n , t e i i n n .geese~, who ego had with a view, if possible, to relieve her mind, by diverting her niThetions to a new object; that as many jewels had the same appearance, that purchased by Mr. (tardier and that presented by (lenient might probably not be the same. Mrs. Gordier very readily acquiesced ; stud having had time to recover her temper, fell again into tears, and in the most affecting manner, apolognied for her late indiscretion, adding, at the same time, that it it was the jewel purchased by her son, his picture was artfully concealed within it, which, by opening, put the matter beyond all doubt. The sister, nor any of the family had ever seen it opened, and knew nothing of such a contrivance. Young tiordier in a moment touched a secret spring, anti inesented to the company the minature enclosed, most beautifully enriched. The consternation was now equal to the discovery. The toys : tery was now unravelled. It was instantly concluded that the ' horror of the murder must have struck the deceased, and the detestation of the murderer overcame her. The contempt with which she wanted to spurn the jewel front het, and her desire to declare from whom she had it; all these circumstances c o n . cured to tix the innrder on Mr. (billiard, who having been for. merly her father'll clerk, . the last word she attempted to utter was now interpreted to tnean the el-a-r-k. "The Clergyman who was present, and who gave this ra f t. tion, being the common friend of Gaillard, and the family where he now was, advised moderation and temper in the pur suit of justice; Many circumstances, he said, may concur to entangle innocence in the snares of guilt; and he hoped,, for the honour of human nature, that a gentleman of so fair a chit meter as Mr. Gaillard could never be guilty of so ,foul a crime; 1 he therefore wished he might be sent for, on the present melan choly otcasion, rather as a mourner than as a murderer t. by which means the charge might be brought on by degree* ; and then, if innocent , as he hoped he would appear, his character would stand fair—if guilty, care should be taken, that he should net escape. Ile added, in support of his counsel, that U man, unite publicly charged with murder, upOn circumstances, strong as the present appeared, although his innocence might ho clear us the sun at noon day to those who examined him, yet would never again be ail' to redeem his character with the world, let 'his whole - life after be ever-so irreproachable. " Thegrentest part of the company seemed to approve of his advice and - resins ; lattit was visible by the countenance of Mrs:, (O ' rdier - that she in her own mind, - had prejudged ,him HowoVer, in eor:fortnitytts the advice th4had beets: tyro itttlfard was sear ftlt—tait.t in a few hears the niesseiuset yeturn cil, accompanied by Mr. (iitlinirti in, person.

'Mr. OtiniAttl :mi t e answer coolly, that indeed he well knew her son: '1)4)10 not scot hint for many days before the day of his disoppeurpte, being then o at, of the island upon bust noes, as the farrill7Art *ban house he now. resided couldattest. • But this jewit. tubrthe inother,s!tcwing him that jewel open as it wss,' is on inconttitible prnof of your guilt :* yoU gat eellteleceitied this jewel which wa g furc4 46 lxt bl i nlY #9O, 1 910 rif; 4 l , hil l'iliSsi°n to , l!ttle of tiffs death; e deniA ever seeing the jewel.

The old lady was once more calm, and 'contildered herself tom- pelted to acknowledge her rashness, width was owing, as she said, to the impetuosity of her temper, aUtt to the •Cir- . cumstances that produced 'it. She conchaled by begging par.: don of Gaillard, whom she thought she had litinrett. " Gelliard triumphed inhisinnocence, hoped the lady would' be carclui of what she said. and threatened, if his character. suffered by the charge, to refer the Injury to the deelsiod bu the law. He lamented the sudden death of the unfortunate young- a lady, and melted into tears when he approached' her bed. Ile took his leave, after same hours stay, with h.. , carning decency, and every enc, even'the mother, pronoumad 'him innocent. "It was some days betbre t he Jew ,was found ; but when the news was spread that the Jew was in custody who murdered young Garner, remorse, and the fear of public shame, `seized Gallianl, and the night preceding the day on which he was to have confronted the Jew before a Magistrate, he was found dead t with a bloody penknife in his band, wherewith ire has,' stabbed himself in three places, two of which were mortal. " A letter was found on the table in his room, acknowledg ing his guilt, and concluding with the .retnarklible,words-- • None but those who have experienced the furious Impulse of ungovernable love will pardon the crime which I have corn. muted, in order to' obtain the 'incomparable object by which my passions were inflamed.

" The Sitting Abigistrates of Union,liall, Stirrer The contents of this letter excited a strong sensation RITIOntO I the Magistrates, of whom a considerable number were present 1 when it was received; and it was determined that not a eumneet i should be lost in investigating the charge it contained. Accord ingly three Magistrates, L.

The prisoner Golding denies' the above letter to have been written by his authority, or with his knowl e dg e , acct refuses to give us any information whateier Upon the facts above mentioned.

(Signed) " L. B. ALLEN, " RANDLE JACKSON, " JAMES LAING." It did not appear from the examination whether the writer or the letter had been actuated by any malignant motive,. or whe ther he had been misled by inconsiderate expressions, convoy ing unfounded insinuations which had bben used by Golding, the surgeon. 31r. 3lartin, of Oalway, came to the office, and presenticxa card to the tatting Magistrate, with the name of Thomas Pry written on it, said he wanted a summons for that fellow for cruelty to a horse. The Magistrate desired that Mr; Martin should be sworn. Mr. Martin was accordingly sworn, and proceeded to state his complaint, which we shall me in his own words :—" I was - in Illackftiors-road yesterday with my ser vant, in my buggy, when I saw this Fry in a one-horseoart. The horse was a poor worn-out animal; he had been a good horse, a spirited horse; in tact, Sir, he wax a fine horse inrums. He had a lump on one of his fetlocks as big as my two fists, (bete Martin held out his two fists close togt:ther, to show the Magis trate the size of the lump on the horse's fetlock). That toot had no shoe on it, and the hoof was worn to the quick ; in fact, Sir, the horse was on three lop, yet this inhuman felloW kept goading the poor animal, and working an iron , that was itt his mouth like a saw. I followed bins, but he urged the poor animal on so desperately, that I could never overtake him only I got &jbrc him, and blocked up the toad with my buggy. A crowd of ixvople assembled, and I go his address end then found he was a horse-butcher, and he Mille had bought the bewail for killing, but thought it a pit) not to take a month or two out of bin, be he was tdaughtered: tthink (said Mr. Martin) this may form a subject of considcwiea for the Magistrates, whether those horse-butcher's licensea' should not he taken from them, if they do not kill off their horses at once, without putting them to the torture before their execution." - Magistrate—Did the person you complain of beat the hots* . with eruelty . ?. Mr. Martin (with great vivacity.)—C'rtainly, Sir 3 do yaw think I don't know my own business ? Certainly, Sir ; the per.. son of 'whom I complain beat the horse with very great cruelty. I saw him, so did my servant. The Magistrate ordered a summons to be issued for Ta ct *, and Mr. Martin left the office, promising that he and his sa— vant would certainly attend to give evidence. • EXECUTIOII or Nadi.): AND TtAntIZTY % WEAR by"rrV— VAyT —At nine &thick on Saturday morning, die 3oth o t nsizin ia i n les elm fr i o Y m Pr r.o es rh il l i° ; l lll l" elt r4 it e(ied reache i : about i rle ti se l & ti tl i:l erot" " k " .
