The Unicorn, Howlett, from Swansea to Yar 'mouth, drove on a rock in Old Grimsby yesterday, and received considerable damage in her bottom, but bein g light will proceed without discharging. PANORAMA-BATTLE OF NA.VARIN. We were admitted this morning to a private view of Mr. Barker's new Panorama on the Battle of Navarin ; which from the talent it displays, as well as from the (at present) striking interest of the subject, will, we t hi n k, stan d a fair. chance ul * running successfully through the season.— . Its chief defect is, that it does not display with sufficient impressiveness the horrors and con fnsion of the engagement. It is apparently too finished, taro minute in its details, to which last the bolder 'sp'rit of painting is in part sacrificed. The chief "leo, at first glande, is the Asia (signalised by her *circular stern), which is fast at anchor alongside the 'Turkish Admiral's flag-ship, and one other largest led Egyptian vessel. The colouring of these men of-War is very massive and solid, and bears about it a striking impress of reality. The appear ance, i n particular, of the smoke from the ma's terrific cannonades deserves close attention. Irn the distance to the left, bet Ween two or three do uble -banked Egyptian frigates, the eye catches a g l impse of light in the perspective, which con trasts well with the dark massive character o f the foreground. Still more to the left ap- Pear the ships composing the Russian squadron, backed at their remotest ' extremity by a steep island at the entrance of Nayarit]. This part of the Panorama is rather too quiet and formal, especially when put in direct contrast with the fire-ship, which is in flames close by the Russian flag-ship. The Vessels appear inactiv e , which, if w e remem b er rightly, i s n o t qu i te true to fact. On the opposite •side of the bay, high up on land,-is the encampment of Ibrahim; behind which rise the almost perpendicular sides of the island, deeply dyed with that warm blue tint of which Mr. Burford seems particularly .fond, as he has used it unsparingly both in his Pa noramas of Madrid and 13razil. Here, however, it is somewhat out of keeping with the time of day at Which the battle was fought, which was about three O'clock, _whereas the colouring of his mountains Would seem to indicate it, was late in th e t w ili g h t . We sh ou ld not om i t to mention the very spirited po sition of the Asia and her two opponents ; these arc executed with infinite felicity, and are the redeem ipg Points of a picture which will, we have no doubt— first, from its own intrinsic merits, secondly, from the nature. of its subject, be honoured with a full share of popularity. The drawings, we are given to understand, were prepared by an officer on board the Asia, the day after the engagement, and transmitted, by order of Sir Edward Codrington, to his son, in England, by whom they were kindly presented to Mr. Burford. THE REV. ROBERT TAYLOR. On Thursday afternoon the City Solicitor re ceived a letter, of which the following is a copy, from the Rev. Robert Taylor : " 17, Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn, Jan. 17.

V ICE - CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His HONOUR came into Court this mornin; at the usual hour, and after disposing of a few motions of course, retired for the purpose of holding a conference with the Lord Chancellor. On his return ; his Honour heard the remaining motions ; and rose at twelve o'clock. Several important motions were postponed in conse- quence of the absence of Mr. Sugden, who was engage( before the Lord Chancellor. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Lord TENTERDEN got through several cases, this win ing, none of which possessed any feature of the sliglites public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. rARNINCTON V. JONES. This was an action brought by the assignees of a bank rupt, named Thomas Roberts, to recover the amount of cer tain silk goods and haberdashery delivered at the bank rupt's residence, at Manchester, after he had committed au act of bankruptcy. The defendant was one of the bankrupt's creditors, who seas in Roberts's shop, and helped to pack up the goods in question previously to their being sent for concealment to the house of another person, and subsequently to the defendant's house. The amount of the goods sought to be recovered was 6001. _ _ The defence set up was, that the bankrupt had a righ to dispose of his goods Previous to his committing an ac of bankruptcy, and that the sale was effected in a business like way. Mr. Sergeant WILDE replied, that it was evident that at the time of selling the goods in question, Roberts must have contemplated bankruptcy, and that, therefore the sale was a fraudulent preference. Lord Chief Justice BEST was summing up when Ave went to press. THE MARK ETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN MARKET. There was a good supply at this morning's market, bui the trade was rather dull.

Natives 29 0 28 0 THAMES TUNNEL.---(THIS DAY.)-•TIIC operations for filling up the hole in the bed of the river have within the last three days been continued with much activity. Mr. BRUNEL, sen., is on the works this morning giving directions to facilitate this object. He informed our reporter that the last examination which he had made in the diving bell, as to the success which has hitherto attended their exertions to prevent the influx of the water, was of a most satisfactory nature ; and hopes are indulged that before the Meeting of the Proprietors, in the beginning of next week, a most favourable report will be drawn up. Up to this morning, about one hundred tons of clay, inclosed in bags, have been thrown from the barges moored in the middle of the river, into the aperture. This work is per formed only at about low water, and this afternoon a great quantity will be cast overboard. Mr. BRUNEL expresses himself in the most sanguine manner as to the completion of the undertaking if capital were obtained. Mr. BRUNEL, jun., has not yet recovered from the injury he received on Saturday last, and has found it necessary to return for a while to his house in London, in order to have the benefit of medical advice as often as necessary. The steam engine is in the course of inspection to-day, in order that it may be ready to pump out the water as soon as the hole is stopped. The exertions hitherto used to pick up the bodies of the unfortunate men who were drowned, have not been successful in a single instance • and it is, therefore, concluded that they are embedded in the soil, which has flown into the tunnel with the water. The accident is in a great measure attributable to the recent boisterous state of the weather, which rendered the tides unusually strong. Had the Company been in a better condition, as far as re gards funds, it is understood the operation of forming an artificial bed to the river, by the application of clay in the line of the tunnel, would have been adopted, and such a course would in all probability have prevented the recur rence of the accident on this day week. Mr. BRUNEL says, " Let us have money, and the tunnel will be completed." MAIL ROBBERY.—On Sunday morning last the poet-boy conveying the mails from the office in this town to Ballinacarig, Colehill, and Ballymahon, was stop ped about three miles off by two men, one of whom held the boy, while the other with a knife, cut off the mail bags and carried them away. Information having'reached Mr. A. BROCK, post-master here, he instantly proceeded to the spot, accompanied by a party of the Constabulary, and after a diligent search, found the mail-bags and letters in the ditch of an adjacent field, the latter being all torn open, and the con tents (if any) taken away. The Castlepollard mail was robbed about a month since, and it is presumed that both depredations were committed by the same party.-- West meath Paper. THE WE ATPIEE.--All the low lands on the line of the Thames and Kennet are flooded to a great depth, some thousands of acres being covered with water. The view from Coley towards the Kennet, and from Sydney terrace and the Ferbury tonsards the Thames, presents the appearance of a wide arm of the ocean, rather than of the peaceful meadows of those sylvan situations. Accounts of similar inundations have reached us from almost every part of the kingdom.—Berks Chronicle. 1 Th e late heavy falls of rain and snow have - caused the Thames at Henley to overflow its banks, and t inundate the country to a very cons i derable extent; the rise for the last five days has been ti l l g o which the continual showery weather tends still to keep up. The have been impassable for foot pas road from that town to Wargrave, as well as those to Reading and Marlow, °engem for some days.— Orford Journal. . The weather has been tremendously severe in this neighbourhood since our last. The Exeter Mail weather, the W as about two hours later in its ar r i val , . and was under the necessity of leaving the city with six horses. We regret to find that awing sheep and lam bs are suffering seriously from the rot; and that, from the s ame to the long prevalence of wet cause, the season has proved extremely f a t a l to the deer. We are, however, happy to add, that the ravages of the wire-tvo;m are abated, and the growing wheats look well to the eye._ Bath Herald. The very heavy fall of snow and rain within the last ten days, added to the already overflowing state of the Thames, has caused a dreadful flood in this neighbour hood ; we are sorry to state that this day, Thursday, the water is across the street in Eton, and still continues to rise; th e i n h a bit an t s are in a state of alarm lest the waters should arise to the height they were the 29th of January in the year 1809. From the terrace the view is dreadful be yond description ; not an inch of land scarcely to be seen for several miles ; the road from Datchet to Windsor is completely impassable, as is the Clewer Road from Maiden head; rails are placed across the road to prevent accidents. The road to Slough is also nearly in the same state. The water this day has risen three inches ; scarcely a house in Eton that the water is not from three to five feet in the cellar. —Berks Chronicle. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

Dr. MAnny, W. M. BEETLESTONE, Esq. the celebrated amateur of fashion, to the accomplished Miss MANNIX, of Eastwood House, Pembrokeshire. On Saturday morning, a man named ARTHUR THOMSON, a pensioner, who resided in College wynd, was found dead, lying on the floor of his room.— His death is stated to have been caused by excessive drink ing. —Edinburgh Weehly Chronicle. We are sorry to find that crime appears to be on the increase in this county; a fact to be inferred from the number of prisoners for trial at the ensuing sessions at Wells, viz., for felony 90, for misdemeanours 40, making a total of 130, besides several out on bail. The business will, therefore, probably occupy the attention of the county for upwards of a week.—Dorset Chronicle. We have just heard a report that a serious and desperate affray has taken place between a numerous body of poachers, and his MAJESTY'S keepers of Windsor Great Park. Report says, one of the keepers is seriously injured.—Berks Chronicle. A considerable press of business is expected at Winchester County Sessions nest week. The calendar contains the names of no less than 19 prisoners for trial.._ Dorset Chronicle. APPALLING SHIPIVRECK, WITH LOSS OF LIVES.--The following is a letter, verbatim, as addressed to Mr. Fisher, fishmonger, of this city : PLYMOUTH, JAN. 16, 1828. Sir,—We have had a vex:) , violent gale of wind, it came on last Saturday night about 11 o'clock, and continued to bl ow most tremendously until after day the Sunday. There is a great number of wrecks on our coast, and I am very sorry to say I among many others am again a sufferer ; un fortunately my sloop, the one I last bought, called the Lord Mulgrave, was at sea, and owing, as we suppose, to the sudden violence of the gale, could not make laud—was wrecked, and drove on shore at Wembury, and there some by the violent beat of the waves, and some by the exertions of the villagers, she was soon knocked to pieces, that when I came to the place yesterday all that was left of her I sold for two pound s ten shillings. I should not have valued the loss of .the vessel in comparison as any thing, if it had pleased Goo to have spared the poor men and boys, it is a most distress ing sight to see their poor families—the skipper's eldest son was with him, and his poor widow has now six poor orphan children to look at, as well as to lament the loss of her husband and son ; the second hand was a widow man, he has left five poor orphans, without a friend to look to .but their grandmother, who is above 70 years of age. The little ;boy has not been bound to me above three months. Three of the bodies have been picked up. I think I have done 80 much as can be required of me, I have provided go od coffins for them all, and paid every expence of bring ing them home; but it is not more than the distress of their families require, for they are almost destitute. From yours, &c. JOHN ECUs. P.S. There are about sixteen vessels wrecked at our port, some very fine ships. We hear there are also two large East Indiamen wrecked on the Bolt Head, and all the crew perished... Bath herald. PARISH or ST. PAUL, COVENT-GARDEN. The polling for the office of Vestry-clerk was yes terday resumed with great activity, and continued until near five o'clock, when the final result of the poll was thus stated : For Mr. Roach 486 Mr. Corder.. Majority for Mr. Roach -185 The announcement of this result was received with shouts of applause by the friends of the success ful candidate. Mr. CORDER returned thanks for the support he experienced, and expressed his determination to renew the contest next Easter. A great deal of angry discussion followed, in which Mi. Pitt, of the Adelphi, took a conspicuous part ; but not being a parishioner, be was about to be expelled the meeting, when a motion for an ad journment was made, and carried unanimously. THE THAMES AND MEDWAY FISHERIES, On Tuesday the body of Milton fishermen, who arrived in town under the circumstances stated in our Paper of Wednesday, presented themselves to the Court of Aldermen, with a petition, praying the protection of the Court against the constant efforts made by rich and powerful landholders to deprive them of their rights and th e i r on l y means of subsist ence. There was no telling to what extent the ag gressions of these landholders upon the public property and the freedom of navigation might be carried, if some measures were not taken to resist them. They might prepare oyster-beds, and claim the whole sea from Dover across the Channel, unless they were checked by some higher authority. The fishermen set forth their extreme poverty and in ability to defend themselves against such opponents, even in the least expensive Courts of Law. The Lotto MAYOR warmly advocated their cause, as demanding the best exertions of the Court. _No body of men could be more industrious or more va luable in a maritime point of view. The supply of fish which they brought to market was of great im portance to the mertopolis, and the question at issue between them and the owners of the oyster-fisheries was one in which the public at large were greatly interested. The CITY SOLICITOR reported to the Court th he had examined the case of the poor men, and th the law was decidedly in their favour. The COURT unanimously granted the prayer their petition, and directed the City Solicitor to co. duet their defence. The two men who were indicted for having tox their nets contrary to the Act of 31st of Geo. 111 I over some oyster beds, as stated in our Paper of Wednesday, were under recognizances to appear and take their trial at the Canterbury sessions on Tuesday. As it was not probable that their trials would come on that day, they ventured to come to town with the body o f fi s h ermen, to l ay t h e i r griev ances before the Court. When the Court of Alder men had determined on defending them, the two de fendants; were put on the top of a coach, in the even ing, and sent off to Canterbury to save their bail. The night was one of the most bitter and inclement that had been remembered for many years. It snowed heavily, and the men had nearly lost the use of their limbs. They went into Court the next morning, and delivered a letter frem the City Solicitor to the solicitor for the prosecution, stating the intention of the Corporation of the city of London to defend, and requesting the cause might be postponed, togive time to obtain a certiorari for the removal of the cause to the Court of King's Bench, or else to per mit the defendants to plead and traverse the case until the next sessions. It is generally considered a point of professional etiquette to accede to such re quests, when made by solicitors o f res p ecta bili ty. The solicitor for the prosecution however refu3ed to emisent to the postponement of the trial, and grounded his refusal on a statement that his client had no security for the payment of the additional costs which must be incurred by delay. The men were put on their trial, and having neither attorney nor counsel, and being utterly unable to speak for themselves, one was found guilty, and the other was persuaded to withdraw his plea of not guilty. The Chairman (Sir Edward Knatchbull) fined each de fendant Is. The costs of cue poor man was 41. 10s., of the other 2.1. 10s. They could as well have paid the national debt. The Chairman warned them that if they again repeated the alleged offence they would be visited with very severe punishment. It seems that the excavations at Herculaneum, which had been suspended for a long time, are to be rc.„ Burned on a new plan, and with redoubled energy. They are to direct their efforts on that side of the buried city which presents the least difliculties, and is likely to affnrd the readiest and most interesting results, judging from the former attempts made in the same quarter. It is said also, that the excatio❑s, which arc continued without interrup tion in the island of Cuprea, on the foundation of the city of Tiberius, are to be extended, and the most flatter ing expectations are accordingly entertained.—Liverpool Courier. SHIP CANAL.—Yesterday a meeting, con vened by the I ORD MAYOR, took place at the Rotunda, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the expediency of a Ship Canal, from Dublin to Gal way; and also to report on such other means as may con duce to the employment and relief of the people of Ireland. The meeting was numerously attended ; the Lusts) Mayon in the chair. Among other resolutions it was agreed to, that " the Committee recommend that proper petitions be drawn up and presented to all branches of the Legisla ture, detailing the advantages of the proposed Canal, and the confident expectation of the Irish people that adequate funds will be furnished to carry it into effect." Also, " that a permanent body be formed, to be called the So.. ciety for Improving Ireland, to be composed of the Nobi lity, Gentry, &c. of the country, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the City of Dublin, together with the Sheriffs and ether public officers throughout the kingdom, and that a petition he forwarded to the KING and Commons, and that the LORD MAYOR be requested to present the same. Dublin Morning Post. A very ludicrous scene took place at the King's Arms Tavern (which is kept by Mr. JAMES), in Camden Town, on Monday morning last. A master sweep, named HAYWOOD, and a tailor, were drinking together in the tap-room amongst other persons. The sweep had on bins a smock-frock, which bore all the symptoms of hi s trade about it; and the tailor had made a holyday of the day, and was dressed in a genteel brown surtout and silk hat, both. of which appeared the more splendid from the contrast. The sweep uttered some words about the unbe coming pride of the tailor, whereupon the latter said, iC •-•-•• me, I'd think nothing of putting on your soot frock." The sweep immediately drew his filthy garment over his head, and the tailor, to the surprise of every body, get out of his surtout, and soon appeared in the habiliments of the sweep, who was so far from being idle, that he slipped into the tailor's apparel, and clapped the silk hat upon his head. The instant, however, the tailor perceived that his companion had made:an exchange, he ran round the tables after the sweep for the purpose of saving his clothes from further pollution. " I can easily Batch you, wherever you run, Master HAYWOOD," cried the tailor.— " Can you so ?" said the sweep, " then here goes," and into the fire-place he ran, and up the chimney with amazing velocity in his friend's new coat and hat. The tailor thought himself bound in honour to follow, a'v l • mounted.

"To be sure he is," replied he " don't you see him there ?" pointing to the tailor. Upon which the lady gave the unfortunate Schneider such a box in the face, which he still held between his hands, as made his jaws rattle. Nothing, however, could equal her regret when she found out her error.

(From the Leicester Journal.) Mr. Editor,--The unfortunate circumstance which has terminated the existence of this.re spectable individual, seems to have excited con siderable interest and commiseration ; but, ag no correct account appears to h ave b een g i ven i n the public Jou r n a ls, I have been induced, by the desire of his relatives, and the esteem I had for Mr. Bryans, to send you a brief statement of the facts, connected with the dreadful malady which has removed him to that "bourne •from whence no traveller returns." Mr. B. had ob. served his dog unusually dull, and very snappish, therefore deemed it proper to secure him. But, in the attempt, on the Bth of November, Mr. B's. left hand was bit in several places he . made a second attempt t o pl ace a co ll ar round the neck of the dog, when the right hand was also seized, and was dreadfully lacerated. I saw Mr. B. shortly after the accident, but of such an extensive nature were the wounds, and so deep amongst the tendons of the hand: all fin" gers, that exc i s i o n o f t h e parts seeme dI m practicable ; therefore I applied the usual ate , ' tidotes recommended in such wounds, and, in two days, au extensive discharge st%,:com mencedh i n t h e sores, w hi c h I deemed favour able. r O l s r oug , s o Mr. we n t into Lin which had bee n recommended t Bryans as b beincr an infallibl e remedy.

I saw him shortly afterwards, there was a wild glassy appearance of the eyes, with constant deep sighing, and.great anxiety. I ordered some gruel to be brought, he became uneasy and restless at the sight of it, and, to use his own words, " felt as if he should be suffocated, and could nut get his breath." 1 tpol: nearly two pounds of blood from his arm, without producing any sensible effect on the pulse„ whicl! was 68 only. He took four pills with . tolerable ease. in attempting to take a- glass of , warin ale, which he asked for, lie beeafne •conViilsed, and threw the contents of the glass into his face, without tasting any. Dr. Peach, of Lough borough, arrived, who remained with inc during the night. The pulse had rose to 90, but the disease continued slowly progressiVe until the Friday. Dr. Arnold, of Leicester, came on the Thursday, P. M. On the Friday Mr. Bryans became rapidly woise, being - drew!. • fully convulsed at intervals. The saliva, which flowed so copiously from his mouth gave him very great uneasiness,—there was sonir, blood mixed with it, in consequence of the great el fort he made to eject it. He became very hoarse. Dr. Arnold and Dr. Peach again met in the even ing, the latter had been with Mr. Bryans during the greater part of the day. Dr. P. continued with him during the night,. watching the symp toms and administering medicine occasionally. The pulse rose from 120 to 165, beenie feeble, and scarcely perceptible. The spasms beC:ilne much weaker, and precisely at five o'clock Saturday morning, this valuable and respected member of society expired, without a -struggle. He fell a sacrifice to his own courage and hu manity, and to that most dreadful of all mala dies—Hydrophobia. His movements during the progress of the disease, were astonishingly rapid, he continued sens ibl e d ur i ng the whole of his illness. As the dog died two days after he had bit Mr. Bryans, I felt anxious to have a post izor ient examination. On continuing my dissection, I found the epiglottis, and the membrane lining the trachea, considerably inflamed. The lungs, too, appeared hi g hly i n fl ame d an d turgid with blood. The whole bag of the pharynx appeared to partake of the disease, and this blood re mained in a fluid state.—l remain, Sir, yourF.,- Wime4would, Jan. 16, 1828. _ B. W. BROWN.
