BELGIAN AND GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 22.—Official news' has at length been again received from the head quarters of Redscbid Puha, *ltieh come down to October 13th. In conformity with the instructions he had received, he had transferred tis - head miariers from Karpoud to Diarbekir, and was or ganizincr the male population of the cities of Karpout, Mer din and Diarbekir on the European system. The irregular_ troops were employed in destroying or subduing the pre datory hordes that had retreated into the defiles of the mountains. The army of Redschid Pacha is estimated at 80,000 men, and it is reported that the regular troops which can now be spared from Albania have received orders to go to Asia. SMYRNA, OCT. 19.—Our accounts from Alexandria to !lay are to the 24th of September. The Egyptian fleet which had so long cruised on the coast of Syria, and was ordered to bring away the troops from Syria which were intended for Arabia, had returned to Alexandria on the .21st of September, without a soldier on board, to the great ;nation of Mehemet Ali. Soliman Bey was on board the fleet, and brought word that on account of the fermenta ion in Syria and Lebanon, Ibrahim Paella was unable to P end any troops. BRUSSELS, Nov. 18.—We learn that their Majesties will return to Brussels in the course of the week. The Queen, whose'health had suffered from a severe cold, was getting better. A plan has been prepared at the 'War Office for the organization of the artillery, which wants only the sanction of the King. There will be three Regiments of 12 Companies, viz.,-1 of heavy artillery, lof field artillery, and 1 of horse 'artillery. A letter from Ostend of the 15th says that the English sloop Countess of _Elgin had stranded on the coast. The cargo, consisting of cottons, indigo, and saltpetre, was much damaged, and partly lost. There is no hope of saving the ship. The crew had all arrived in the port. The English lady residing at Ghent, who fired several pistol shot at a man-servant, has just been Condemned to one month's imprisonment, and a fine of 200 francs. The servant-maid who was the cause of the dispute was con demned at the same time to 15 days' imprisonment. - The Chamber of Representatives has commenced the discussion of a project of law relative to what are called the Los-rentes.

The conclusion of this article is as "follows " But supposing that it was delivered as (riven to us, we do not know why it should irritate, as it has done, the revo lutionary press. . • " The grand anathema, the most terrible reprobation, fall on that passage of the speech which says, I have had the citadel erected, and I declare to you, that at the slightest insurrection, I will have the city cannonaded. I will destroy Warsaw, and certainly I shall not bo the person to re build it.' " This is certainly severe language ; there is no ora torical precaution, no circumlocution. It is the transi mod() Tanaint of the Scythian ; it is the language of nature and truth ; but has not Ki ng L ou is Phillippe already done, what the Emperor Nicholas announces ? Do not the cannon of Lyons,. the April days of Paris, the massacres of the Rue Transnonain. prove that if Louis Phillippe does not threaten the Parisians with cannonading their city, that he, nevertheless, does not hesi tate to do so when he is resisted ? The detached forts would he indisputable proofs of his intentions in this re spect, if facts that have already occurred did not dispel all doubts on the subject. Thus, what Nicholas promises Louis Phillippe performs. Is there, then, so much reason to exclaim, at a threat which the Sovereign of the country has long since realised ?-11/essager de Gand, Nov. 19.

THE MARQUIS OF EXETER.—This. being the period for the election of guardians of the poor in the vil lages surrounding Stamford, the people—Pickworth, Wit tering, and Ryhall-have received missions declaring the Marqui's pleasure as to the choice they should make. Pickworth and Ryhall submitted, but not without mur murs.. - Wittering holds out, and there will be a contest between the independent candidate and the Marquis's no minee. These are very trifling and insignificant matters, no doubt ; but they are straws showing which way the wind will bloW when the municipal body are to be chosen for Stamford. Domitian, when be bad no pretext for slaugh tering men, amused himself with killing flies.—Lincoln Gas. On Wednesday, his Excellency the Ambassador from, the Sublime Porte, accompanied by a suite of about twenty persons,' amongst whom was the celebrated Turkish General-in-Chief, Namik Pacha, who opposed Diehitsch and the Russians during the severe struggle in the Balkan on their march on Constantinople, visited the Adelaide Gallery. His Excellency and the company paid particu lar attention to Perkins's steam-gun, and minutely watched the effects of the stream of bullets directed against the target, marking with great interest the"glow of latent heat developed as they were flattened on the cast-iron disc. It ;40 not. escape his Excellency's observation that the rough surface of the target. retained a coating of lead, which, in fact, is always interposed between it and the bullets, so that the light observable, is due to the action of lead on lead, and - not lead on iron. He expressed a great desire to ascertain the effects which balls of ,other and more com bustible metals would produce under similar circumstances. We understand that preparations had been previously made to try these very experiments, the results of which will shortly be exhibited. His Excellency devoted a consider able time to the wonders of the microscope, and insisted on a succinct interpretation of every sentence, word by word, as it was uttered by Mr. Maugham. A KING 1-The art on which the King prided himself, more particularly than any other, was—we must out with it—the art of tailoring. Yes, the late King of England boasted that, so far as cutting-out went, he was the most accomplished snip in his dominions. Stultz was not worthy to hold the chalk to him. Fired with this noble ambition, he was perpetually changing the collar, or the cuff, or the body, or the buttons, of his domestics and at tendants, and his zeal for reform in these important mat ters, were a source.of such expense in the army, to which also his cares were extended, that not a few younger bro thers were forced to throw up their commissions, from the inability to comply with the ever-varying improvements of the ingenious Monarch. For some time previous to the introduction of the Emancipation Bill of 1829, his Ma jesty had been deep in a scheme for altering the cuffs of the general officers, which the Duke, who is a bit of a mar tinet in his way, would by no means hear of. There was, it is said, an actual miff between the Monarch and the Minister on this important point ; and had not circum stances driven his Grace to a compromise, it is not impro bable that the Ministry might have been fairly " cuffed" out—fortunately the Clare election interposed to prevent such a catastrophe. The election, and the confessed insta bility of the army, put an end to the hesitation of his Grace. The Bill was drawn by Sir James Scarlett—Sir Charles Wetherell, though Attorney-General, refused to do it—and the Duke waited on the King to ask his gra cious assont to its introduction. He found the Monarch in his blandest mood—Bacchus sparkling on his right, in the guise of a flask of his favourite sherry ; and Venus on his left, in the guise of the Marchioness, " Well, Arthur, what now ?" was the kindly welcome. The Duke exclaimed the purport of his visit, and enforced it as he could.--Ditm flies Journal. SNOW.—We have now keen frosty weather, but highly seasonable, and even agreeable. Wheat sowing is nearly over, and farming operations generally well advanced. The, potatoe crop is raised and secured. In the higher districts, we understand, there was a heavy fall of snow on Thursday night. In Lochcarron, Lochalsh, and Strath counn the snow lay deep upon the ground on Friday morn ing.---Inverness Courier. ROBBERIES AT HOTELS.—The hotel proprietors of the metropolis, in a preliminary meeting., convened on Monday, at the Piazza Coffee-rooms, Covent-garden, came to the determination of forming themselves into a Society to protect more efficiently their property from the increasing depredators on hotels. The robberies on hotel-keepers which have recently occurred have fully called for the above resolution. The 30th inst. is named for a further discussion on the subject. FATAL AND DREADFUL ACCIDEN T BY FIRE. Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morning, as some of the family of the Rev. Mr. Morell, the tutor of Coward's College, Torrington-place, Torrington -square, were retiring to bed, a strong smell of fire was perceived, and smoke was observed to be issuing from underneath the door of the bed-room occupied by Mrs. Janet Bryden, the housekeeper. On forcing it open, Mrs. Bryden was found lying on the floor of the room, with her clothes completely burnt from her person, and her flesh in many places burnt to-a-state Of cinder. Not a feature was distinguishable. Medical was procured as quickly as possible, when it Wak: diseimered that the unfortunate woman was quite dead.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1535. The whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday have been received. Their contents are wholly uninter esting. The trial of FIESCHI, the probability of a war with the United States, and the speech of the CZAR at Warsaw, are the only topics dwelt upon in these journals. With respect to the AUTOCRAT'S harangue the Constitutionnel says : ".We have before us a curious document, which may serve as a commentary on the speech of the Em peror NICHOLAS to the municipality of Warsaw. This document gives the description of the ancient fortifications of Warsaw, and of the citadel newly constructed by the Russians, the whole being ac companied by an exact plan, the authenticity of which is now sufficiently confirmed. The ancient fortifica tions of 'Warsaw are composed—lst, of a semi-circular line of circumvallation, which towards the west sur rounds the city, the opposite side of which borders upon the Vistula ; 2d, of two ranges of redoubts, also on the western side ; 3d, of the little citadel of Wola, outside of the redoubts, on the road to Berlin ; and finally, of the head of the bridge of Praga, on the eastern bank of the river. All these fortifications were directed against the foreign enemy, and the defence was sup ported by the fortress of i\lodlin, on the right bank of the Vistula, on the north-west of the capital. Within these few years NICHOLAS has constructed at Warsaw a new citadel, much more extensive than that of the Wola. Beginning at the northern part of the city, on the left bank of the Vistula, it com mands Warsaw ; it extends into the interior, and oc cupies its most elevated part ; it will contain a nume rous garrison ; its ordnance points towards the city, and a bridge has been built, by which it communi cates with the right bank. In case of an attempt to take it by assault in any insurrection, Warsaw would be destroyed before the garrison could be compelled to yield. These facts will account for the speech of NICHOLAS, and will throw light on the language employed by Russia of late years. While the citadel remained unfinished, the Court of St. Petersburgh preserved some consideration towards Poland, and spoke of amnesty, of conciliation, and nationality. Now it throws off the mask, and no longer fearing that a people in despair will destroy the works in pro ' gress, it declares the nationality of Poland to be abo lished, and considers of non-effect the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna, the promises of ALEXANDER, and those of NICHOLAS himself." If such indeed were the real cause of the change in the language of the AUTO CRAT towards the Poles, we should have but an indif ferent opinion of his military talents. Warsaw is not Po land in the same sense as Paris is France, or London is England. Poland is virtually without heart or head— without any spot which can be pointed out as the focus of wealth, patriotism, and public opinion. This, in fact, is one of the reasons why we expect with such confi dence the resuscitation of Polish independence. Every spot is equally the centre of vitality, and therefore to annihilate in it the germ of nationality, it would be necessary for the CZAR to erect fortifications, and place garrisons on every square mile in the kingdom. The Temps mentions as a rumour, that Lord PAL MERSTON has offered the friendly mediation of Eng land between France and America, and that hisproposal has been taken into consideration by the Council of Ministers, which has decided that Lord GRANVILLE should be requested to thank the British Cabinet for its obliging offer, but says that the Cabinet of France could not accept it. The same Journal adds, that this decision on the part of the French Government, may account for the armament preparing at Brest, which is presumed to be in anticipation of a rupture with the States. The advices from the north of Spain are unimpor tant. The speech of the Queen of SPAIN on open ing the new Session of the Cortes was anxiously ex pected at Paris on Wednesday, but had not arrived when the mails departed for London. The Consti tutionnei states, on the authority of letters from Kiel, that the interview between Lord DURHAM and the Emperor NICHOLAS at Kiew, was exceedingly cold, formal, and short withal. We are not sorry for this, especially as we know that the Noble Earl will not compromise the honour and interests of Great Britain. The Memorial Bordelais, which is well acquainted with the projects of the family of Don Carlos, says that it has the following in a letter from Paris :—" It seems certain that the Princess of Beira, the three sons of Don Carlos, and the Princess Amelia of the Two Sicilies, consort of the Infant Don Sebastian, Grand Prior of the Order of St. John, will shortly come to Paris. The cholera which pre vails in Italy, and the rigour of the season, which is much felt by persons accustomed to a mild southern climate, have induced them to transfer their residence to Paris."—/lies sager, Nov. 18.

The following arc extracts :--- (From the Washington Globe.) We learn that the Commissioners appointed to -treat w►th the Western Indians have returned to Fort-Gibson, after having successfully accomplished the object of their mission. A treaty of amity was concluded by them between the United States and the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctows, Osagees, Seneccas, and Quapaws. Nothing occurred to interrupt the general harmony, and all parties separated with good feeling. There is no doubt but that this arrangement will be productive of happy effects. It is the first time that these wild Indians have met upon such .an occasion. They have heretofore kept the frontier in a state of alarm, and have attacked with equal impunity citizens of the United States and Indians. FROM NOVA SCOTIA.—We are indebted to Mr. Hudson, of the Merchants' News Room, for various Halifax papers, coming down to the 9th inst. They contain nothing of in terest, however, except the particulars of a great fire at St. John's, which is also thus briefly noticed in the Boston, papers :—" A fire which broke out at St. John's, N. F., evening of September '2O, destroyed the block of buildings fronting on Water -street, and on both sides of Waldgrave street ; about 60 tenements in all. From 70 to SO poor families among the sufferers." MEXlCO.—Journals from Tampico of the 10th ult., and from Mexico of the 2d, have been received at New Orleans. The most important intelligence they bring is the treaty between General Bravo (dated Chilpancingo, the 25th of August) and Alvarez, with those connected with him in his recent movements in the Southern States of Mexico. By this treaty Alvarez agreed to lay down his arms, and to re tire to the southern part of the Mexican territories, provided he, Pinzon, Primo Tapia, and Francisco Mongoy, should be conveyed in a Government ship, have all their expenses disbursed by the Government, and that the arrears of pay due to the army since the 23d of March should be paid. Three thousand dollars were immediately ordered by the Mexican Ministry to ratify the terms of the treaty. IVe congratulate the liberal Reformers of the Ward of Aldgate, upon the election of Mr. Sheriff SALo- MONs to the Aldermanic dignity. We were the first to recommend him to their suffrages ; and the result proves that we neither miscalculated the popularity of the candidate, nor over-rated the liberal patriotism Of the citizens of London. With such supporters Reform must triumph over every obstacle. It appears from some documents, published by a gentleman named BEAUMONT, relative to a corres pondence between himself and the Foreign-Office, on the subject of his brother, that the latter has been confined in the prison of St. Pelagic for upwards of eighteen months, without having been brought to trial, on the somewhat vague and indefinite charge of having been concerned in plots against the existing French Government. Of course the gentleman's health is sinking under this protracted incarceration, and what aggravates his sufferings is, that there ap pears, at present, no chance of his being brought to public trial. Surely our Ambassador at Paris should take some notice of this case ; for it is abhorrent to all notions of humanity, that a man should be treated as a criminal for upwards of a year and a half, who has never been convicted of any offence. NAPOLEON, in the height and wantonness of his power, never perpe trated a more despotic act than this. The Agricultural Associations are at present exhi biting an unusual degree of activity. Meetings are held, speeches delivered, and resolutions passed, in various parts of the country, with an apparent ear nestness which would lead one to suppose, that those who are making these extraordinary exertions have some attainable object in view. When, however, we come to look below the surface—beyond the mere bustle and show of the proceedings—we soon discover that the only point on which the parties meeting, speechifying, and resolving can agree is, that agricul ture must be relieved. But how this is to be done— in what particular manner this relief is to be adminit- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 183& tered—there seem to be as many opinions as speakers. Lord CHANDOs, in Buckinghamshire, holds forth, ex cathedra, on the advantages of his old nostrum, the Repeal of the Malt Tax, that unrivalled specific by which he very nearly overset the clap-trap Adminis tration, and placed so many professed Repealers in an awkward predicament with their constituents. The Noble Marquis does not find so willing an audience as on former occasions ; for no sooner has he pronounced his eulogium on the sovereign remedy, than up starts an eminent agriculturist, and declares his opinion that the Repeal of the Malt Tax would not only do no good, but would actually be injurious to the farmers I In Yorkshire, again, Mr. CAYLEY'S favourite pa nacea does not seem to go down much better. The Chairman of the Central Yorkshire Agricultural As sociation attributes the present loiv price of agricultural produce to the contraction of the circulation occasioned by PEEL'S Bill for the resumption of cash-payments, and very consistently proposes as a remedy for the evil a counter-operation on the currency! To this project Sir EDWARD VAVASOUR, a member of the Asso ciation, and a great landed proprietor, strongly objects. In Shropshire, if we may judge from the proceed ings at the late meeting in Shrewsbury, at which Lord DARLINGTON presided, there seems to be an equal diversity of opinion. There, as well as at York, the Chairman of the Meeting imputed the distress of the agriculturists to PEEL'S Bill, and recommended ah augmentation of the circulating medium. We think it would have been wise in those who are making this agricultural stir had they first agreed upon some remedy for the evil of which they complain, and then considered whether it was in the power of the Legislature to provide that remedy, before they ap plied to Parliament. Neither of these things have they done. Those who advocate the repeal of the Malt Tax have not shown how that measure would raise the price of wheat, the cheapness of which is the evil for which they want a remedy, and the grow ers of barley do not complain. That article brings a fair remuneration for the capital and labour bestowed on its cultivation. Nor have the repealers conde scended to point out the source from which the five millions of revenue, raised by the Malt Tax, is to be supplied when that tax is taken off. Are the land owners prepared for a Property Tax ? Those agriculturists who attribute their distresses to the scarcity of money, are, if possible, still more unreasonable. They cry out that more money is wanted to raise the price of corn ; and Mr. CAYLEY, and those who think with him, imagine that changing the standard from gold to silver, would have the effect of rendering cash more plentiful, not considering that were it so, the agriculturist would still hold the same relative position which he does now. But we need only reply to the argument about the scarcity of money, that the Three per Cents. are at 92. That simple fact speaks volumes. As to the magic effect to be produced on agriculture by a silver standard, we are not very san guine. We find that the Dutch landowners are com plaining of agricultural distress, and clamouring for a Corn Law to protect their interests ; and yet they have a silver standard in Holland I The truth is, that it is utterly impossible to keep up the price of corn by any artificial method. In 1815, when the Corn Law was passed, wheat was at 80s. It has continued to decline in spite of the protection of this law, and in spite of the consumption of a greatly augmented population, until it is now little more than 405., and hardly any is imported from abroad. Either then, there is a vastly increased production of the article, or the people have substituted some other kind of food for wheaten bread. Can the Legislature afford a remedy for either of these evils ?—to use the agricultural phrase. No. The remedy is entirely in the power of the land owners, and they know it. Let then: reduce their rents. Let them accommodate themselves to the inevitable necessity of the case ; for they must see that, do what they will, high rents and low prices cannot long co-exist. The last intelligence from Holland is very important in a commercial point of view. The Dutch landowners, it appears, are anxious to follow the example of their English class-fellows, by establishing a system of Corn Laws for the protection of agriculture. They have already taken the necessary steps for carrying their enlightened project into execution, and have brought the question before the Legislative Assembly. The commercial interest has taken the alarm, and is up in arms against it. Had the matter rested here it would have been comparatively of little interest to us, except, perhaps, as a subject of curious speculation. It might have suggested to the political economist a few reflections on the slow progress, or rather the retrogradation, of his favourite science, among the in industrious and once enterprising inhabitants of the United Provinces, who are now endeavouring to im pose on a commerce, already crippled and decaying, a burden which, even in its flourishing and palmy state, it could not bear ; or if it could, which their wiser fore fathers determined it should not bear. If Holland chooses to sacrifice her mercantile, manufacturing, and shipping interests to gratify the short-sighted cupidity of her landed proprietors, she is at perfect liberty so to do. She ought to be the best judge of her own interest, and being an independent State, no one can with propriety inter fere with her free agency. Some of her neighbours, however, hold a different doctrine. No sooner was the question mooted by the Dutch Legislature, than Prussia declares her resolution to make reprisals. Now it may be for the benefit of Holland, if this im pudent threat should have the effect of preventing the passing of the proposed law ; but what shall be said of the principle involved in this audacious menace ? We do not deny the right of Prussia to regulate her commercial relations with other countries according to her own pleasure. If Holland lays an importation duty on corn, Prussia may retaliate by a duty on the im portation of the productions of Holland. This is all right enough. It is what may be called a fair stand up fight, in which the weakest must eventually go to the wall. But Prussia in her individual capacity, and Prussia acting as the director of the Germanic Con federation, are two very different things. What she means by reprisals it is not difficult to understand. Nothing is farther from her thoughts than to limit her retaliation to a duty on Dutch goods imported into her own territories. Having succeeded, by con summate artifice, in drawing the German States into her toils, and placing herself at the head of what she calls a Commercial League, she now wields an enor mous illegitimate power, which she will bring to bear against Holland, by interdicting the commerce of that country from Germany. The demonstration which Prussia has just made against Holland will, we trust, at last open the eyes of the other European Powers to her sinister inten tions, and to their own true interests. They have hitherto been culpably negligent i n not oppos i ng the arrogant pretensions of Pr uss i an am bi t i on: T hey have stood by like unconcerned spectators, while Prussia has been working her way to the com manding position which she now occupies—a po sition alike dangerous to the interests, and in compatible with the honour, of other nations. As Farmer-General of the German Customs, she, in fact, holds the whole of Germany under lock and key; and not a bale of goods can pass the frontier of a country inhabited by twenty-five millions of men, without her permission, which may be granted or refused just as it suits her caprice. Is this to be tolerated ? Will England and France submit to such a humiliating state of things ? We are sure they will not. When the bad conspire, the good must combine. Prussia must be taught that what she designates a " Commercial League," is in reality a foul conspiracy against the commerce of other States, which must be broken up immedi ately. If she will not listen to the dictates of justice, she must be brought to reason by other means. She cannot be ignorant that, if she provoke the resentment of England and France—to say nothing of other na tions—they can resort to arguments which it might cause her some embarrassment to answer, versed though she be in diplomatic chicanery. We have much pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to the Prospectus and Report, published by the Provisional Committee appointed by the Great Leinster and Munster Railway Company, to make preliminary arrangements for connecting the capital of Ireland with the south-west coast, by means of a Rail road. The hopes to which we gave such confident expression, when the question was first mooted, have not been disappointed ; and from the unanimity of opinion which prevails in every quarter, we are more sanguine now than ever we were, that a brighter and a happier day is about to dawn over Ireland. The Company has commenced its labours in good earnest ; and as the only material obstacle in its way is the want of an Act of Parliameilt, we are sure that the Legislature will take the earliest opportunity of sanctioning a work so necessary to the prosperity of the country. It will be seen by the Report, that it is proposed to carry the Railway from Dublin to the ancient city of Kilkenny, in the first instance ; and subsequently to extend it in a southward direction to the coast. This is wisely resolved. The completion of the line to Kilkenny—in consequence of the stimulus which it would give to trade—would, in the course of a few weeks, infuse a spirit of enterprise into the na tional mind of Ireland, of which even its com mercialists can have but an inadequate con ception. We are glad to find that the Com mittee, in its Report, did not lose sight of the interest which the labouring class has in this great under taking. The permanent relief of the labouring poor of Ireland has, to some extent, occupied the serious attention of this Journal for the last six years ; and as the Great Leinster and Munster Railway promises to be pre-eminently useful to this class, the Company may calculate upon our best support.

We should certainly call it cheap at double the price. It is besides very carefully edited, well printed, and altogether a book which we can recommend to readers of limited income. We ought also, in justice to the spirited publishers, to mention, that they are bringing out a series of En glish Classic Literature, in the same style, and at prices equally moderate. Their editions of Robert son's and Gibbon's historical works are deserving of an extensive patronage. THE RAMBLER IN NORTH AMERICA. BY CH.IRLES JOSEPH LATROBE, AUTHOR OF THE " ALPIINSTOCK. In 2 Vols. London : Seeley, 1835. The author of these volumes is'a most agreeable, intelligent travelling companion ; and we recommend all who, like ourselves, prefer visiting foreign countries in an arm-chair, placed within a comfortable distance of a good fire and a hissing tea-urn, to take him as their guide through the United States. He is always in excellent spirits, and in the best possible temper with himself and every body else. He is a capital hand at a story; relates anecdotes after the most amus ing fashion ; and is an admirable gossip where men of a less happy temparament would infallibly be pro nounced insufferable bores. His descriptions of scenery are full of life, fancy, and feeling. :There is residing at Duckmanton Moor an old man, named Joseph Cantril, now in his 92d year, who, within the last two years, has cut a tooth. He followed the hounds last season, and this year cut several thrave sof corn ; followed the plough ; drove the hearse for the burial of one Mr. Rogers of Callow ; rode a horse back to Duck manton Moor, and can extract a thorn from his finger without the aid of a glass.—Derby Reporter. HORSE STEALERS.—Considerable interest was ex cited at Billericay on Tuesday last, in conseqence of the ex amination of three persons, named John Wicker, John Remington, and Thomas Page, who had been brought from Lynn, in Norfolk, a distance of upwards of 100 miles, upon four different charges of horse stealing, and other fe lonies, in various parts of this county. Remington and Wicker, late last evening, confessed to their having been concerned in upwards of twenty felonies, amonst which are stealing horses, sheep, pigs, corn, saddles and bridles, steel springs, and a variety of other articles from persons at Chelmsford, Blackmore, Maldon, Woodham, Boreham, Willingale, Stoke, Springfield, &c. ; and we recommend parties who have lost any property of late in those neigh bourhoods to apply for information to Mr. William Curtis, of Billericay. Last night a horse which had been sold by the prisoners to Mr. Reader, of this town, was seized by Mr. Curtis in consequence of their having disclosed that they stole it from an old man with a wooden leg—known by the name of " Old Tom," at Shouldham, in Norfolk.— Cheltenham Chronicle. PHENOMENA.--.The muirs on the parish of Fen wick have been repeatedly the scene of phenomena which would appear to be utterly incredible, were they pot sup ported by the strongest evidence. Fortifications, cities, and camps have been observed, together with numerous armies of cavalry and infantry on the march, performing evolutions, or engaged in deadly conflict. About fifty years ago, an account of them was published by John Howie, of Loch goin, author of the lives of Scots Worthies. Similar ap pearances have been witnessed since his time. In Fenwick they are known by the name of the visions.—Scots Times. AN ANCIENT OPINION ON LOVE.—II is a pretty soft thing, this same love ; an excellent company keeper, full of gentleness and affabilitie ; makes men fine, and go cleanly ; teacheth them good qualities ; hand some protestations ; and if the ground be not too bar ren, it bringeth forth rimes and songs full of passion enough to procure crossed armes and the hat pulled down ; yea, it is a very fine thing, the badge of 18 and upward, not to be disallowed ; better spend thy time so than at dice. I am content to call this love , though I hold love too worthy a cement to joyne earth to earth ; the one must be celes tiall, or else it is not love.—Sir William Curnwalless Es says, Ed. 1631. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GRATES. This information was tried at the sittings after last tens , when a verdict was found for the Crown for large penalties, Early in the term, Mr. John Jervis obtained a rule to en; ter a verdict for the defendant. The information was filed against the defendant under these circumstances. T he defendant was a druggist who, in September, 1834, Wen", to the Custom House with the invoice of 34 bales of bay berries which had been imported from Rotterdam. They 'were entered to him, and on being weighed one of the bag s burst, when it was found to contain a few bay berries otit' side, while the inside was stuffed with nux vomica. searching the others, they were all found to be full of th at drug, and cocolus indicus. A seizure was made, and the penalties sought. Mr. JERVIS obtained his rule on the grocnd that the in' formation was wrongly drawn, inasmuch as these goods we r . e actually prohibited to be imported from any p l a ce In Europe, and therefore no penalties attached for having the in this country without the payment of duty. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. TANCRED, and g r ' KAYE, were heard this morning against the rule. Th ey submitted that as these goods were clearly liable to a (1° , ,1 1 , 2 ' the Legislature having imposed a' duty of 2s. 6d. per j"; upon them, the information was properly laid. Had th e ' been called prohibited goods in the information, the oth, e ' t, side would have abetter ground for a rule than they had In Mr. JERVIS, in support of the rule, relied upon the 5 and 4th of William IV., chap. 54, called the Navigat i r Laws, which absolutely prohibited the importation of t ' n e f produce of Asia, Africa, or America, from any part Europe, with certain exceptions, amongst which Rotteroll was not. Coming from that port, under no circumstan ce d could they be entered for consumption in this country, a ll were therefore not liable to duty. Mr. WELLSLEY followed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied, and the Court Xr charged the Rule. SHIPPING.-( THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, Nov. 19.--Wind N.N.
