money to pay; for if he have not, the proceeilings are further carried out against all the endorsers, who are, perhaps, instructed to plead, for the purpose of swelling costs, and then there is no knowing where the amount of costs Is to end. And this nefarious system is no exception to the rule of common law; by far a greater number of persons ace thrown into prison by it, than ever go there from just debts : and it was once proved in court, that this very Jos. Russel held at One time upon its practice twelve prisoners in the Fleet; seventeen or eighteen in the Bench ; and about thirty in White-cross-street ; and that, upon one action brought upon a bill in a similar manner to that which we have described, where the original debt was 1701., a stun of 2001. has beets paid ;- the furniture of three houses sold up in execution ; about forty persons committed to prison, many them of course wilfully ; and that then, at the time when the defence was put in, the amount of money claimed was no less a sum than 5501. This is a fact recorded in a court of law, and we are not sure that Sir John Campbell was not counsel for the defence. " Of course Jos. Russel was himself perpetually in and out of jail. Prisons were his element, law his delight ; and we have a document before us proving, that not long anterior to his death, he was an inmate of the King's Bench, under the following circumstances :—He had against him seventy-one actions at the gate ; twenty common writs; eleven executions; five chancery snits; three references to counsel; four ejectments ; one indictment by the marshall ; and fourteen notices under the Insolvent Act! " It is almost certain that all these actions arose out of transactions such we have have exposed ; and it is probable that many of them in_ volved theruin of credulous but honest men, working the distress, per_ hops the destitution of their families ; 'at all events we have it on the face of the statement, that he had brought fourteen individuals to the Insolvent Court, and— * What a wreck of happiness was there." " It would be absurd in us to argue upon the system we have laid bare, —it carries its own condemnation with its exposure; and, perhaps, the best way to stop it, is to tell how it has worked. One thing is clear, that one of the benefits of the abolishment of imprisonment for debt' would be to put a stop to it once. But in bringing forward Jos, Russel as the hero and grand operator in its nefarious labyrinth, we put both a personal as well as a most tangible argument in favour of an increase of punishment for fraud :" for can any debtors' prison be sufficiently a home of hardship or retribution to such a man ? nay, would any ordeal short of the galleys, the pillory, or the hulks, punish him in proportion to his crime?---he is worse than a common thief, because his is not common dishonesty,—it is dishonesty of the worst and most mischievous kind. He is not content with rifling a purse, but he ruins a family,— he destroys happiness as well as wealth,—and makes hearts as well as pockets bankrupt. And it is worthy of remark here, as affording a very striking andimposing proof of the unjust appropriation of equal punish ment to unequal guilt, and often 4f , simple misfortune, to clime; — which is the great bad principle of the law of arrest,—that this Jos. Russel (as many others like Him continually are) always in prison with some of his victims ; he, the criminal, the companion of the sufferer by his crime; the ruiner in prison from choice, the ruined from necessity."

As this amusing production is, for the most part, a re publication of a series of articles that appeared a few years since, and attracted much notice at the time, in the pages of Blackwood's Magazine, we feel that we have no need, on the present occasion, to enter at any length into the question of its merits. These are already establiched, and we have no desire to impugn the public verdict that l►as pronounced " Selwyn in Search of a Daughter" to be a work that evinces considerable ability. It is here intro duced-by a modest, well-written preface. ROMANCES . OF MANY LANDS. In 3 Vols. London.

HENEB ON, Or the Countess cf Montfort ; and Bertha of Burgundy. In 3 Vols. BENTLEY. 1835. The title of this Novel gives the history of the period, the personages, and in a great measure, the incidents, to which it relates. True love, the course of which " never did run smooth," was chafed into a foaming headlong torrent during the ages of knightly chivalry and Oriental romance, and hence this period has ever been a favourite one with . the most elegant writers of fiction. It affords a scope for the development of character, which is not to be found in times when the conventionalities of society not only regu lates our conduct, but our looks = even our very thoughts. Most of the personages, and some of the occurrences men ticned in these volumes, are treated of in the quaint pages of Froissart—that- inexhaustible mine of anecdote and ori ginality. Henebon is a delightful novel, and will be popular. THE PARLIAMENTARY INDICATOR. Chapman and Hall. An excellent little manual, which ought to be in the hands of every elector in the kingdom. The " Indicator" is , more carefully and neatly got up than any, of the several little works of the same description that have yet reached us. Besides the names of the Members of the House of Commons, their principles, and the number of electors in the several constituencies, the " Indicator" gives occasional notices of the leading events in their lives, with some ac counts of the families with which they are connected with marriage or otherwise. The price is only two shillings. NEW WORKS, Just published• by Richard Bentley, New Burling• ton-street :—.

INDlA.—Advices were received yesterday from Bombay to the end of October last. They contain matter of much interest. The Government of India were preparing to commence hostile operations against Joudpore, and it is as serted that the expedition was not to be undertaken against that petty sovereignty only, but was to form the beginning of a great political movement, for the purpose of obtaining the entire subjugation of the Indies, and to completely crush Run jeet Singh, the Ameers of Siude, and destroy at once the in fluence of the Russian Court over the Indian chiefs. The advices state that the occupation of the Joudpore territory would destroy the hopes of Russia of any future invasion. The ' determination of the Indian Government to make this move ment against Joudpore was rendered the more necessary in consequence of accounts having been received from Persia and the East of Europe that the Emperor of Russia was pre , paring an armament, the object of which was, as it stated, to invade the dominions of the Schah of Persia. The movement against the Rajah of Joudpore had been resolved upon in con sequence of his giving refuge to the ex-Rajah of Nagpore, and having refused to give him and other dangerous persons up to- the Indian Government. The Governor-General was about to proceed to the Upper Provinces to conduct the ar rangements. Two squadrons of the 11th Dragoons, the 10th Light Cavalry, some native regiments, and a large park of artillery and battering guns, were on their way to Joudpore at the date of the present advices. DOGS.—The Austrian dog never barks ; indeed, it is remarked by Mr. Gardiner, in a work intitled " The Music ' of Nature," that "dogs in a state of nature never bark; they simply whine, howl, and growl: this explosive noise is only found among those which are domesticated." Sonaini speaks of the shepherds' dogs in the wilds of Egypt as not having this faculty, and Columbus found the dogs which he had pre p i , f . !vidtialy carried to America to have lost their propensity to ~' ), barktag. - ,: b .

HAMBURG, FEBRUARY, 1835. 11EINE BROTHERS, Contractors for the GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority and under guarantee of the Namburg Government, beg to inform the public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of next Month ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks banco, or 81. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,500, lof 20,000 lof 10,000, 2of 5,000, 4of 3,000, 7of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 103 marks, which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated ;n marks banco, and payable without any deduction whatever ; 4,000 tieketsbeingdelivered gratis to theholders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, tkose purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost of Si., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the gratis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so that, of course. they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present first price of 81., aro requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for wkole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 10/. note will receive an order for the balance of 21., together with the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and evei y desirable information, being always sent with the tickets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a chance or getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office.

M R- •iC f CZZ eln LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1 835 Lord STANLEY'S position is by no means an enviable one. Had he succeeded in frustrating the intentions of the Reformers in the House of Commons, by throwing his puny shield between them and the Tory Government, the success of the exploit might have flattered his va nity, and in some degree consoled him for the sacrifice of consistency and public principle. Ho might have said to himself—" I have, 'tis true, forfeited the good opinion of those who consider honesty of purpose the best foundation of a Statesman's character—l have sacrificed every hope of rising to eminence founded on popular favour ; but I have gained one object—l am at all events the leader of a party capable of over-ruling the proceedings of the other parties, and thus controuling the measures of the Admi nistration." This, we allow, would have been but a poor consolation to a noble mind, however gratifying to vulgar ambition. But even this comfort has been denied to poor Lord STANLEY. He has been completely baffled in his first essay—unhorsed on his very entrance into the lists. Instead of the leader of a large or respectable party, he is merely the wagger of a miserable tail—the detested tail is, we under stand, the name by which the milk-and-water rump has been christened by some flonoth:zNe Members. This appropriate epithet is applied, no doubt, for the purpose of distinguishing it from the highly respectable appendage of the Hcp.and Learned Member for Dublin, whom we beg to congratulate oil the triumph he has achieved over the Noble Lord ; for what can be a greater triumph than to see a haughty rival imitate his example, tread in his footsteps, and, after all, be left so far behind. But whatever name be hereafter given to the Stanley tail, we cannot help observing that it appears to us to be a very sensitive tail---more so indeed than that whose sensitiveness has passed into a proverb, namely, the tail of a tom. cat. Mr. HUME in the course of his most excellent speech happened to say something about " wolves in sheep's clothing, looking for a fold where they could enter and enjoy the good things of place ;" when in an instant the tail is bustled up—every joint is in motion—up start some half dozen Honourable Members, all indignantly disclaiming the vile insinuation. This is truly amusing, and reminds us at once of the words of a worthy Member of an ancient, honest and incorruptible fraternity : " If he mention vice or bribe, 'Tis so pat to all the tribe, Each cries—That was levelled al me." The Tories, it is clear, are in the last stage of political paralysis. Their self-confidence is gone—their energy is subdued—their sagacity is at low-water mark—and every step they take, only leads them deeper and deeper info the " Slough of Despond." A few months ago, and who so sanguine —who so resolute as Sir ROBERT PEEL ? Vow, who so utterly downcast ? But eight short weeks since he spoke in the most scornful terms of what he called " the pressure from without." The country, he said, " was sick of it," and he, conveniently inter preting the sense of the country, was " sick" of it too. Now, he speaks in a very . different spirit. He has now learned that the " pressure from without," declared through its organ the House of Commons, is too strong for him, and, to :use his own sincere and emphatic language: last night, "if I endeavoured to subvert it, I should not succeed." Yet it was to get rid of this dreaded " pressure" that the Right Hon. Baronet took the bold step of dis solving the Parliament! Will he venture to repeat the step ? Having run his head against one wall, will he venture to bob it a second time against such stubborn, unyielding brick and mortar ? We suspect not: Sir ROBERT though a man of resolution, is still more remarkable for his discretion. He is not an oak to brave the fury of the storm, but rather a willow to bow his head and let it blow over him. However, be that as it may—dissolution or no dissolu-: tion—one thing is evident, the Tories cannot maintain them selves in office. Their day of grace is past. They have had their trial ; first, on the King's Speed', secondly on Sir R. PEEL'S official declaration the other evening, and in both cases, within the brief space of three days, a solemn, deli berate verdict of Guilty has been recorded against them. Was this a factious verdict on the part of those who con demned them ? Surely not, for they were tried by a Par liament chosen, for that express purpose, by themselves Mr. HUME'S remarks on this subject, were distinguished by much good sense and spirit. Speaking of the reformers who sate in judgment on the Ministry, be said, " to show that they were not the rope of sand which they had been described by Hon. Members opposite, they were deter mined to keep united on that one point, however they might differ on others, until they had obtained their object —the removal of Ministers." Possibly the misguided Tories think that the STANLEY and GRAHAM faction trill be a " tower of strength" to them in their emergency. If so, they will find themselves egregiously deceived. They will lose, rather than gain, by 'such interested aid, for the STANLEY waverers have little or no moral influence in the country.. .They are mere political Marplots, and oscil late between Reform and No-Reform, like Mahomet's cof fin, between •heaven and earth. Now this is a period; beyond all others that ever existed in England, when men are called on to be decided in their opinions. We re cognise but two parties,—the Reformers and the Non. Reformers. Of the trimmers—the turn-coats — the waverers—of those whose main. policy it is to rely on the chapter of accidents for advancement (and of such is the STANLEY and GRAHAM squad composed,) who will be Liberal this day, Tory the next ; now a little black and now a little white ;—of this chameleon-like party, we know nothing. As Falstaff says, " they are neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring ; a man knows not what to make of them." How deplorable, then, must be the condition of a Ministry which is compelled to rely on the doubtful—the disastrous help of a squad like this? if ever party was placed in a false position, the Tories are at the present mo ment. The country repudiates them—the House repu diates them—the independent portion of the Press re pudiates them—they are supported solely by a crafty, trimming faction, which hopes to lift itself into power on their overthrow. We hope the electors of Westminster will keep their every eye fixed on the movements of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. " Westminster's pride and England's glory" requires close watching in his old age. " The flardng patriot, who so lately scorched us in the East, now sinks temperately in the West, and is hardly felt as he descends." These words of JUNIUS apply with peculiar force to Sir FRANCIS BURDETT at the present juncture. Every friend of humanity—every enemy of slavery— must rejoice at the cordial unanimity of opinion which pre vailed in the House of Lords last night, with respect to the necessity of following up, in a proper spirit; the Emancipa tion Act of last Session, by the adoption of a course of instruction suited to the capacity of the enfranchised Negroes. The answers which were given to the questions proposed by Lord MULGRAVE to the Right Hon. the Colo nial Secretary, were most satisfactory ; and the manner in which these answers were received by the House, indica tive of a cordial concurrence in their justness and propriety. It is impossible that the Dissenters can rate too highly the warm eulogium pronounced by Lord MULGRAVE on the conduct of the missionaries. The Noble Earl pronounced them " as discreet as they were zealous" in all their pro ceedings, and that in every instance they yielded to his re presentations, when he had Occasion to point out to them, that the state of the island was not at that moment such as to warrant an exercise •of over zeal." Higher praise than this the Noble Earl could not bestow on the Missionaries ; and we are pleased to find that it was received in the kindliest spirit by the House, and responded to in a proper tone by the organ of the Government for that department. "Unfortunately," observed the Earl of ABERDEEN in his answer to the questions proposed by the Ex-Governor of Jamaica, " great animosity existed amongst the religious sects in Jamaica, and he would not go far as the Noble Earl in saying that the zeal of some of them did not outrun their discretion ; but still he could as sure the Noble Earl that they should all have the full pro tection of the law while in the exercise of their pro per duties ; and he admitted that their exertions and motives were generally highly laudable, particularly as connected with the Act of emancipation, for if the religious education of the slaves be not attended to, and they were kept in a state of ignorance to the expiration of their ap prenticeship, instead of their emancipation being a blessing, it would be the greatest curse that could *befall . them. To those missionaries, therefore, against whom great prejudice existed, the Government would of course be happy to give every assistance to pursue their laudable objects in safety and tranquillity." Such sentiments as these are w orthy the most liberal Administration, and, if duly acted upon, will confer the greatest blessing upon our colonies. The pre sent Government have given us a guarantee far their sincerity on this question, by continuing the Marquis of SLIGO as Governor of Jamaica--a Nobleman whose ge neral conduct in his MA office has been guided by cour tesy, discretion, and the most christianly humane senti ments towards the unhappy race, who are, more especially, objects of his parental solicitude. St. John's (New Brunswick) Papers - to the Ist February, and Cape of Good Hope Papas to . the 25th December, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. • The New Brunswick Papers are full of the debates in the House of Assembly, which took place on . Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday ; they are not of much impor tance. Mr. CRANE proposed to add three-pence per gallon on the present duty on rum imported, into the province— his motion was carried. The attention of the House, on Tuesday, was directed to the boundary line between 'that province and the United States. The• amendment pre posed by Mr. WILMOT was unanimously carried—a speedy and final settlement. On Wednesday the Assembly went into a Committee of the whole House, in consideration of the several Messages from his Excellency, which are not of importance. The New Brunswick papers also contain a message from his Excellency the Governor, accompanied with the following documents : . - - First, a copy of a despatch from his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated May 2, 1834, in answer to the petition of the Legislature last year relative to the timber duties, in which it was stated that it was not the intention Of his Majesty's Government to propose ony.alteration affect ing the trade of the current year, and that no step would be taken in the matter without the fullest consideration of Co lonial interest and views. Secondly, d copy of a dispatch from the Colonial Secretary, accompanied by some very long explanatory documents, containing the reasons why his Majesty's Ministers could not advise his. Majesty to confirm the Act of the House of Assembly, passed in 1832, for the purpose of making provision for the Custom-house esta blishment. The Cape of Good Hope papers contain little informa tion of importance—only stating that many complaints are made of the scarcity of money', and many suspect that there is a deficiency in the circulating medium but the circu lating medium being Colonial parer, it cannot leave the settlement. BAD NEWS FOR TIIE LAWYERS.—The Court of Exchequer, on Monday last, finished its list of Common Jury cases set down for trial in the city of London; thus leaving two or three blank days for the amusement of the gentlemen of the long robe. The King's Bench, it is said, will scarcely leave a rentanet. This decrease in the business, however satis factory to suitors who wish to have their causes tried and dis posed of, must be death and destruction to those who have been acewtorprd to etrget sgb lame 0.814 from thewtrii of rentanets and refreshers. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Four o' Clock. HIS MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS.

THE ENT SATURDAY, THIS DAY. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER, in his robes of State, took the Chair at one o'clock. There were about one hundred and fifty Members present, among whom we observed Lord Sandon, the mover of the address, and the Attorney-General, in court-dresses; Lord Morpeth, the mover of the amendment, Mr. Bramston, and Mr. Mullins, in Deputy-Lieutenant's uniform. The Minis ters present were Mr. Goulburn, Sir E. Knatchbull, and Sir George Clerk, who were all attired in the Windsor uniform. The Hon. H. CORRY, Vice-Chamberlain, reported to the House, that having waited upon his Majesty pursuant to the order of the House, his Majesty had been pleased to appoint that day at two o'clock to receive the an swer to the Address at his Palace of St. James's. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. . Sir GEORGE CLERK gave notice that on Monday night he should move that the House do resolve itself into a Com mittee of the whole House on the Supplies. Mr. ROEBUCK seeing the Right Hon. the Secretary for the Home Department in his place, said that he had two petitions of some importance to present, and he wished to know when it would suit the Right Hon. Gentleman's conve nience to have them presented, ts they were likely to occa sion some discussion. One was a petition from a place, the name of which did not reach us, praying that the House would present an Address to his Majesty, calling upon him to direct the Attorney-General to prosecute certain parish officers for misconduct in matters relative to the Poor Laws. The other was still more important, and regarded the present state of Lower Canada. Mr. GOULBURN said something in reply, which was quite inaudible. Mr. ROEBUCK said he would place his petitions on the order list for Tuesday evening. On the motion of Sir GEORGE CLERK the House ad journed to Monday. The Speaker then proceeded in his state carriage, followed by the other Members who were to accompany him to St. James's, to present the answer to the address. The Right Hon. Gentleman was loudly cheered on leaving Palace-yard by the assembled crowd. THE COURT OF ST. JAMES'S.—Under this head the " Court Journal" of this day will give details of the principal Functionaries of State, immediately composing the Royal Household, and a description of their respective offices, with personal and historical notices. This is the first list of the kind ever published, inasmuch as it will exhibit the con nexions and family alliances of these distinguished personages with other matters of interest. The " Court Journal" is sup plied by all Booksellers and Newsvenders in town and country, free of postage. The office is at 19, Catherine-street, Strand. - - Lord Henley met a serious accident on Thursday. He was passing down Red Lion-street, Holborn, on a spirited blood mare, when the animal became restive and threw his Lordship violently. He was instantly assisted to the house of Robinson and Co., and appeared much hurt, but refused me dical aid, requesting a coach to convey him to his residence. Lord Lumley, who has just succeeded to the ancient title and large fortune of his father, the Earl of Scarborough, has been taken away from the House of Commons at a critical moment. By his Lordship being called to the Upper House, the Opposition lost a vote in the Commons ; and by the ab. sence of Sir H. Holyoake Goodricke, called away in conse quence of the dangerous illness of his father, the Ministeria side suffer the same loss. On Wednesday last, the first experiment took place on the Loire, at Nantes, of a steam-vessel on cones of iron. The general appearance of this kind of vessel resembles that of the floating-baths of M. Vigier, on the Seine. The entire length of each pair of cones, which are united at the base, is 166 feet, from one end to the other. The vessel perforated the distance from Nantes to Mauves, in an hour and a half, and returned in an hour and a quarter ; as the distance between the two places is 16,800 metres, the rate of sailing was about three leagues an hour against the stream, and upwards of three with it. No accident occurred. The tremendous rno- tion is but slightly felt, and the wheel acting only between the two floating-bodies, which support the deck, no external action is apparent, and thus the banks of canals are free from injury. This construction, which is entirely new in Europe, does great honour to M. Thomson, chief engineer of the steam-vessels— " Les riverains du haul de la Loire." The machine of the new vessel was made at Nantes. ST. PANCRAS.—A dispute has existed in this arish between the Rev. Dr. Moore, the Vicar, and the Vestry. _ _ The vestry require that Dr. Moore should provide fOr spiritual attendance on the poor in the workhouse. Dr. Moore says the Act of Parliament imposes that upon the parish. The vestry have appealed to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, who confirm Dr. Moore'e view. The vestry, at the meeting on Monday, agreed to a report, protesting against this decision, and to memorialize the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject. Two accidents have occurred at the Consol mines. A man named Moyle got somehow entangled in the machine for crushing the ores, which has an amazing power, by which he was instantly killed and most•horridly mutilated ; his head was separated from his body as by a guillotine. Another called Tyrrell, fell from the ladder, and is not expected to live. —Falmouth Packet. The Hobart Town papers last received give the particulars of the murder of Dr. Wardell, as stated by an ac complice, who, with the other two implicated, was in custody. These three villains, whose names are Grace, Jenkins, and Tattersdale, were runaways, and on the day of the murder, they were accidentally met by Dr. Wardell, on horseback, who, suspecting their characters, seized hold of a branch o wood, and desired them to follow him. The men pretended submission until Jenkins took from the grass a gun they had concealed there, and presented it at Dr. Wardell. On this hostile demonstration that gentleman exclaimed, " What ! are you going to shoot me? For God's sake, don't do that." To this Jenkins replied, " By God, I will," and immediately fired at Dr. Wardell, being then not more than a yard from him. Dr. Wardell fell forward on his horse, exclaiming, " Oh dear, oh dear, lam killed ! " His horse, when the shot was fired, retreated back a few paces, and then galloped off along the hill, so that the murderers did not see their victim fall. These wretches then returned to Sydney, and afterwards_wandm ed about the country, until they were ultimately taken by the police, when Grace made the above confession. ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE NEAR BRENT FORIL—A few days since we inserted an account of an incen diary fire, which took place in the day-time, on the premises of Edward Roberts, Esq., at Little Ealing, near Brentford, which was happily extinguished without doing much damage. On Monday last a second attempt was maliciously made to fire the same premises. About half-past seven on that evening, as police-constable Flynn, T, 46, was passing near Mr. Roberts' stack-yard, he perceived flames issuing from the same stack which had been fired on the previous occasion. He instantly gave an alarm, and the Ealing engine being promptly brought to the spot, and worked from a large pond about a hundred yards distant from the premises, the fire was again subdued, after about seven loads of hay had been destroyed. The Directors of the Guardian Fire Office, in which office Mr. Roberts is insured, have offered a reward of fifty pounds for the apprehension of the incendiary. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—On Wednesday after noon last two gentlemen called at 'the house of Mrs. Mathews, No. 3., Holliday-yard, Creed-lane, Ludgate-hill, where there was a bill up for lodgings to let, and inquired whether she could accommodate one of them with a bed, the other re presenting that they had come frcm Scotland, and that his companion, who was unwell through sea sickness, he had met accidentally on board of the vessel. Mrs. Mathews agreed t,, accommodate him, and in the evening he came home and re tired to rest. He, however, had not been long the apart ment before he made an alarm, and on ent er i ng the room he complained of being very ill, and reT:,csted Mrs. Mathews to procure him a small glass of brandy and a few drops of lauda num, which she purchaf.'ei, and gave it to him, and he swal lowed it off, whett ;fie quitted the room. Shortly afterwards, however, sL:Cticard,a heavy fall, and cn proceeding up stairs she found him lying inseniible oti the floor. She went for a Dr. Holding, who attended and bled him, but he shortly after expired. It is said that he was greatly alarmed at sea during the late storm. Mrs. Mathews is not acquainted with his name, and his luggage, consisting of a couple of boxes, are at her house. The body now lies for a coroner's inquest. THE LATE HURRICANE.—The effects of the high wind during the last three days have been severely felt in all parts of the metropolis, and several persons have been wounded in the streets by the blowing down of chimney pots and tiles. In several parts near London trees have been torn up by the roots, and great injury has been done to the young plantations. On the river much damage has been done by the storm, and a great number of lightermen and coal-merchants have been great losers by their lighters and barges going adrift. and sinking with their cargoes. A laden coal-barge went down near the West India Dock on Wednesday afternoon, and an other was sunk in the dock. Several tiers of shipping broke loose in the Pool ; some got aground, others ran foul of each other, and received considerable damage. The river during the whole of Wednesday and Thursday presented the appearance of a rough sea, and few small boats could live in it, while the steamers with all their gigantic power could scarcely make head-way against wind and tide. A singular accident happened on Thursday at noon ; a waterman named Tunni cliff, after attempting for some time to pass under the city in shore arch of London-bridge, had his boat capsized by a sudden gust of wind and went under it; with great difficulty he was saved by Mr. James Fogg, a Thames police surveyor, and his boat's crew, who took him ashore. But for their assistance he must have gone down, the weight of his brummagem pre venting him from swimming. ANCIENT LEGAL POLICE.—Ahoklt st, Cieffietit's church, and the parts adjaceq wert foe cent disturbances by reason of the ;luting's of the Inn* of Chancery, who unrnli on nights, walking about to the di s t u rbs,-- • ere so of such as passed along the streets, -' fain to keep watches. In the the inh:itiatanndtdsawngereer with six more of the-'-- i .,ar 1582, the Recorder himself, church ,ionest inhabitants, stood by St. Clement's - see the lantern hung out, and to observe if he could meet with any of these outrageous dealers. About seven at night they saw young Mr. Robert Cecil, the Lord Treasurer's son, who was afterwards Secretary of State to the Queen, pass by the church, and as he passed, gave them a civil salute; at which they said, "Lo 1 you may see how a Nobleman's son can use himself; and how he putteth off his cap to poor men, our Lord bless him." This passage the Recorder wrote in a letter to his father, adding, " Your Lordship hath cause to thank God for so virtuous a child."—Strype. WARREN V. BURTON. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with the arguments in this case, which was an application for an injunc tion to restrain the Rev. Robert Newton from officiating at Oldham. street Chapel, Manchester. The plaintiff, Dr. Warren, who was origi nally minister of that chapel, was removed by the decisimr of a district court, at which Mr. Newton presided in consequence of a pamphlet which he had published. The case, which appears to excite a great deal of interest, is likely to occupy several days. COVENT-GARDEN . THEATRE. Her Majesty the Queen visited this theatre last night for the purpose of seeing the new opera of Lestocq. Her Majesty camp in ,private, and was attended by Lord Denbigh, Lord and Lady Biownlow, Lord Howe, and some other ladies and noblemen. Her arrival was not at first per. ceived by the audience, but as soon as they were aware of her presence she was greeted with a hearty and general acclamation. The national anthem was called for by the audience. The house was well filled. Her Majesty left at the ccnclusion of the opera, and at her departure received universal demonstrations of respect, which she acknowledged by re peatedly bowing to the audience. Her Majesty has signified her inten. tion of honouring Drury-lane with her presence on Monday next, to see Kenilworth and King Arthur. OLYMPIC THEATRE. In addition to the burletta of Hearts and Diamonds, which was pro. duced at this theatre on Monday last, another new burletta, The River God, has made its appearance. The River God, notwithstanding his aqueous appellation, is a mere bubble of the earth, tho.igh most humour ously delineated by Keeley. The mirth of the audience was kept up all through the piece by the drollery of Keeley. Miss Malcolm enacte 1 her part with archness and tact ; and Mrs. Griffith, who has been imported to this house from the English Opera-house, gave groof that she is a most useful addition to the company. The house was, as usual, crowded. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Funds continue steady. This morning Consols, which left off yesterday at 914 for the Account, opened at the same price this morning, and 91i for Money. The foreign Market continues buoyant, and the foreign Settle ment of the Account went off well yesterday, without any failures. although money was exceedingly scarce, And. for which there was a great demand. The opening prices of the foreign Securities this morn ing are—Spanish, 58i ; Spanish Scrip, 51, Pry POrtuguese, 911, 92. HALF-PAST ONE. Consols may be quoted at present 91% for money, 911 1 for the Account; little has been doing 'during the morning. lh the Foreign- Market Spanish Scrip has improved to 5/ preen. ; Spanish Stock , ssi ; Columbian, 37i 4 ; Dutch, 566 TWO O'CLOCK Consols, 91 % 3% THREE O'CLOCK. Console for the Account, 914 4. SINGULAR DlSTRESS.—Archibald Carmuel, town officer, hanged at the cross, and hung on the gallows 24 hours : and the cause wherefore he was hanged, he, being an unmerciful greedy creature, poinded (i.e., attached by distress) an honest man's house ; and among the rest he poinded the King and Queen's picture ; and when he came to the cross to comprise (appraise and expose to auction) the same, he hung them up on two nails on the same gallows to be comprised; and they being seen, word went to the King. and Queen, whereupon he was apprehended and hanged.—Pitcairn's Ancient Trials, April 27, 1601. The communication lately opened between the Aberdeenshire canal and the harbour, which allows the barges to go alongside the vessels, to deliver or receive cargoes from them, has already increased very considerably the traffic on the canal, particularly in grain, and at the same time the trade of the port of Aberdeen ; for, formerly the farmers in Strath bogie and neighbouring districts had to seek a market in Port soy, which is at a considerable distance ; or at any rate they had to deliver the produce there, which entailed a great ex pense and the sacrifice of a whole day's work of their horses. liut since the canal was connected with the harbour so great has been the saving of e*pen§e of cleliYerY AhtircWan that the whole grain business of the district mentioned is now trans-, acted in Inverury, where the canal terminates, The transact , actions, too, are of such magnitude that a Bank Agency has been established in that small town. Several granaries also have been erected, or are in course of being so, and an A i " business now, for the first time,pervadas * 1- change has also been felt to h^ t .—.,e place. The oeneficial throughout the whole ' country tract of from Inve rur y to Ab erdeen ; the dealers now talcino• delivery o f canal, which they would not have done before, a method of doing buginesa that is much relished by farmers, as it is a great 4itying of time, and a convenience to them in various respects. —Aberdeen Advertiser, THE MARKETS-(THIS DAV) COVENT GAR.
