MYSTERIOUS AND FATAL OCCURRENCE. —On Monday evening, a considerable sensation was ex cited in the neighbourhood of Oldham-street, Manchester, by the report that a whole family had been poisoned. The facts of the ease, as far as they have been ascertained, are as follow :—On Monday forenoon. a little boy, named JoHN TilomesoN, was accosted in Oldham-road by a WO man, who asked hint to take a cake, which she gave to him, to Mr. .i..t,tcEr. Daummomr; a dealer in milk and provisions, 27, Richmond -street, Oldham-road, and to say that Mrs. M'CANN had sent it. This he did. Mrs. Dear.itmoNn, who was in the shop when the boy brought the cake, not knowieg any such person as Mrs. M'Caisx, and thinking that it could not be intended for her, gave it to GItACF, THOMPSON, the mother of the boy. Mrs. i m mediately gave pi eces to a l i ttle girl named , to two of her own children ( ene o f t h em the little who had take n the ca ke) , to two girls named ‘ r vE o :ii boylrN s o s l4 ' ['twin', to a woman c alled MAsoN and her son , an d to two other children, in , i eaten alln o nine persons. In a s h ort t i me , all the persons w ho the cake were taken ill, and al though prompt medi c a. a id was procured, SUSAN NAH Rwer, the elder of the two girls, died the following morn ing; all the others, after suffering severely, are likely to recover. Mr. and Mrs. DRUMMOtin, for the destruction •if whose family the cake was no doubt intended, have five young children, but fortunately none of them partook of it. * These individuals are quite unconscious of having render ed themselves at all obnoxious to any individual ; and they can, ther,tbre, form no guess as to the probable author of such $ diabolical attempt.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JUNE. The general, though moderateirmth of the weather, has prevented any injury frativthe quantity of rain ; indeed vegetation has blew:ready impro ved and forwarded by the warm .11,.;‘,;ers-1..-hich have fallen. The wheats are highly improved, and there is every appearance that they now experience a very favourable blooming season, in tite phrase of the old farmers, half the battle. The pease, preceding the wheats, have blossomed most luxuriantly. The showers also must have been of great benefit to the hops, at least ttl those not beyond recovery, in wash ing off the vermin and giving strength to the bine. As we stated last month, the grasses, natural and artificial, including tares, are the most luxuriant crops of the present season, of which, moreover, there is at present great hope of a successful general average of all crops. Pease, always a risk crop, will prove defective in parts. The showers will force a large bulk of straw, so that the crops of hay and straw are likely to be superabundant; the former, how ever, will be partially discoloured by the rain, not, we trust, to any great extent or injury. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 30. yvtVARDS V. BROOKS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a wine-merchant, to recover the sum of 351. for wine sold by the defendant, who is an eminent auctioneer, upon the account of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant TADOY stated the case to the Jury for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant %%TILDE and Mr. Sergeant ANne-lava appeared for the defendant. The circumstances of the me were these. Edwards hav ing a quantity of inferior wine which he had no wish to sell in his own name, therefore sent it in the name of his clerk, Clementson, to the auction room of the defend ant, to be sold by auction. Several lots were accordingly sold, and a larger number were bought in, but the defen dant subsequently took back the greater part of the wine sold from the purchasers, who refused to keep it on the ground that it was impossible to drink it. The plaintiff brought his action, and attempted to prove that he could obtain nn ac count from Mr. Brooks, though he produced an order from Clementson, in whose name the wine was sent ; but on the part of the defendant it was positively sworn that no such order was produced, or the account would have been rendered. The account was produced in Court, and after making allowance for the wine re turned, commission, - porterage, &c. there appeared to be a balance of Si. in favour of Mr. Brooks. Several hottl•'s of the wine were produced in Court, and tasted by seve4 persons. • One - witness deposed that Mr. - Briioko offered a person who called for Mr. Edwards for the ac count half a guinea, if he would drink three glasses of the wine, which however he refused to do, notwithstanding the temptation. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGFfNCE. GUILD lIA LL. —.Joseph Sheppard, a middle-aged man, was charged with stealing a basket, containing three dozen composition dolls, value two pounds. John Price, an apprentice of Mr. Barton, a doll-maker, was passing through Bow Church-yard, with the property in his pos session, and was accosted by the prisoner, who was stand ing in a doorway without his hat, and who asked him to fetch him a cabriolet, and ordered the boy to leave his basket. When the boy returned with the cab, the prisoner and basket were gone, hut an officer had secured them. The prisoner was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—An elderly man, of most respectable appearance, who stated himself to be a solicitor, was brought before Sir GF.Olttl E F IRRANT, eharg • ed with stealing a work called " A Treatise on the Art of Painting," with seventy plates, in two volumes, by Gerard De Lairesse, from Mr. Mores's auction-rooms, No. 16, Old Bond-street. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. John Sidney Gere, who is in the employ of Mr. Mores, that the prisoner entered the auction-rooms that morning, and inspected a collection of books which were on vies previous to their being sold to-morrow. In the course of half an hour afterwards, Mr. Gore observed the prisoner walk out of the rooms : and suspecting from his bulky appearance that he had something concealed about him, he followed him into the street, and drew (ruin underneath his coat the work now produced, which was published by Longman and Co. at four guineas. On Mr. Gore insist ing that he should be taken before a Magistrate, the pri soner entreated to be set at liberty, saying he was a gentle man in distress, and had been driven to the comtnission of the offence through want. The prisoner appeared ex tremely reluctant to give kis name and address; but at length he informed Sir Groaon that his name was James Taylor, and he was sixty-three years of age. He hoped that the circumstance of his being a member of the legal profession would not be made public, and inquired if bail would be accepted. Sir GEORGE refused to take hail, and committed him to Newgate for trial. I , SAILOR'S RETURN.—Yester day a man name,VEbbes, a shoemaker, residing in Peacock street, Walworth, was charged with assaulting 3, sailor named Mist, in a most violent mann%jkh k i poker. It appear cl tl, . • Aliat went to sea some after hav ing , placed his wife under the protection of some of his rela tives, with a sum adequate for her support during his ab sence. The faithless wife, however, soon after the depar ture of her husband, became acquainted with Ebbes, the shoemaker, with whom she formed a criminal intercourse, and eloped with him from the residence of her husband's re lations. Poor Jack, on coming home from sea, instead of finding a partner to receive him after the dangers and hard ships of the voyage, learned to his dismay and surprise, that she had abandoned the home he had provided for her, for that of the prisoner Ebbes, with whom she was living in adultery. On the arrival of her husband, he having ascertained where the " guilty pair" were residing, and that she was contracting debts in his name, repaired thither ; and on remonstrating with her upon her faithless and base conduct, the prisoner beat him with a poker, and he was found lying in a senseless state, covered with blood, by Snow the beadle. Ebbw; said that he struck Mist in his own defence. He was ordered to Sod bail. The enactment of the American tariff', and the early period at which it comes into operation, has no casioneil a depression in the woollen trade of the West Riding of Yorkshire, which is in some degree aggravated by the unsettled state of the currency. The inquiry be fore the Lords' Committee into the state of the wool trade has terminated, and a strong case is understood to have been made out against the imposition of any additional duty on the importation of foreign wool. The appearance of the Committee's Report, with the debates on the 4, i denee, are anximsly expected. The worsted stuff trade does not participate in the depression of the woollen cloth business. The sales at Bradford last Thursday were unu sually large. —Leeds Mercury. EXPEDITIOUS AND COMFORTABLE TRA VEL LING.-A party of gentlemen left Liverpool OR Tuesday last at 10 o'clock forenoon, with the Majestic steamer for Greenock, where they arrived at nine o'clock on the follow ing morning; at 11 they went onboard ef the Eutiny steamer, sailed up Holy Loch, landed at Kihnun, visited the roman tic burying place of the Argyle family, from that to the steamer on Loch Eck, sailed through that beautiful fresh water Lake, and thence to lnverary, where they arrived at half-past four o'clock, thereby breakfasting at Liverpool, and dining the following day at Inverary, having, during that time, passed through the finest part of the Clyde scenery, and the most wild and romantic part of Argyleshire, with as much ease and comfort as if they had been sitting at their own firesides.— Glasgow Chronicle. SHIPWRECK.--We are sorry to announce the loss of the ship bolus, Captain HOWLA 14, belonging to P.ICHARD Pora and Co., of this city. She was bound hence to Quebec, -and on the 11th of May, when off Cape Gaspee, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, was so completely beset with ice that all on board were obliged to abandon her. The Captain and six of tile crew took to the jolly boat, and the remainder of the crew and eight passengers (all on board) to the long boat—it is hoped that all reached the shore in safety. The bolus had on board the entire rigging for a new vsseel building at Quebec for Mr. EVAN THO MAS, of this city.—A vast number of vessels had been in jured by the ice in the Gulph. The Superb, from Bristol, had been abandoned by the crew, on the 23d April, four o f whom had (lied from the severity of the weather. She was afterwards brought into Burin. Newfoundland, by a schooner, with her bows stove in. The City of Water ford and George the Fourth had arrived safe at Quebec.— Waterford Mail. i t On Monday evening last, while the Duke of Lancaster s t eam -b oat was corning up the river, she was boarded off D um b arton b y two Excise officers, to ascertain whether a n y contra b an d goo d s were en b ear d. Th e y h a d not continued their search long, before they discovered a chest, containin g spirits, which had been brought on board by a passenger, off Caradale Point. The Captain pointed out the person who had brought it on board ; he, however, denied it was his property, but admitted that he had assisted to carry it. While the officers were deliberating bow to proceed, the person accused suddenly jumped overboard, and swain till be had nearly reached the shore at Bowling Bay, when he turned round, and perceiving that the officers following him in a small boat, he gave a shriek and sunk. Instant search was made for the body, but it was not got till the following evening. He was then recognised to be a dealer in eggs, from Canspbelton, of the name of 11 11.1n.LAN. The body was put into a coffin, by order of Captain. NA Pr IC A, and transmitted to Campbelton. burgh Observer. LONDON FASHIONS FOR JULY.

The first upon the list of those unfortunate men ordered for execution, is John Iliontgoniery, a man n•ho formerly held a Captain's commission in the army. He is well known in the fashionable world, is related to a family of great respectability in Ire land, and has moved in the polite circles of society. He is 35 years of age. He was charged with having uttered various forged and counterfeit ten and five pound Bank of England tiots , The pri soner, whose gentlemanly appearance created con siderable interest in his favour when placed at the bar of the Old Bailey, and called upon to plead to the indictment, with some emotion uttered the word Guilty." He was asked by the Learned Judge if he had deliberated upon the very serious nature of the charge before he had pleaded guilty, and was informed that lie would not be placed in a more critical situation if he took his chance of a trial. The prisoner, however, said, he was perfectly aware of the consequences of his plea, and of the awful situation in which he was placed, and had fully made up his mind to plead guilty to the charge. He was then arraigned upon a second indictment for a si milar offence, and again pleaded guilty. The .hidge consulted with the prisoner's legal adviser, and having understood that he had made up his mind to persist throrighout in pleading guilty, said he hoped that the prisoner had not done so from a re liance upon any promise which had been held out to him ; indeed he hoped none had been made to him, and that the prisoner had duly considered the con sequences. The prisoner bowed respectfully, and said that he thanked his Lordship—he thoroughly un derstood him, and had fully made up his mind. Several charges of having passed forged notes were proved against him, when he was before the Magistrates. He went into the shop of Mr. Newby, of Southampton-row, and selecting half-a-dozen sil ver tea-spoons and a pair of silver sugar tongs, ten dered in payment a 10/. Bank of England note. Ile gave his address, " Mr. Gordon, No. 19, March mont-street." The spoons and the change, amount ing to 71. ss. were then delivered to him, and he quitted the shop. When the note was pronounced a forgery at the Bank, inquiries were made at 19, Marchmont-street, and it was ascertained that no person of that name either lived or was known there. When takes into custody, he offered his gold watch and seals as a security for the 101. if they would libe rate him. To Mr. 11ott, of Pickett-street, Temple Bar, he gave a 10/. forged note in payment for a gold key, and received the change. Lord Kennedy's name was written on the corner of the note, and from the prisoner's fashionable appearance the shopman believed him to he that Nobleman. Mr. Coleman, of the Haymarket, received a forged 10/. note from the prisoner, in payment of a case of razors. The prisoner then gave the name of Colonel Morgan, 4, Princes•street, Cavendish-square. Miss Broadhurst, of 21.'2, High- Holborn, received from the prisoner a forged 101. note, in payment of half a dozen of shirts, and returned the prisoner 41., the change. Mr. Free, of 115, Holborn, received from the prisoner a 51. forged note fin. two trunks ; he received 21. in change. He offered Mr. Free a 101. note, but Mr. P. had nut suf ficient change. Mr. Cooke, of 61, Hatton-garden, received a forged lOL note from the prisoner for two hats, and he received the change. . Mrs. Wright, a confectioner, of Southampton-row, re ceived from the prisoner a 10/. forged note, and deducting the value of three pints of mock-turtle, gave the prisoner the change. The mock-turtle was to be sent to D. Robin son, Esq. Bedford-square, but no such person was to be found there. Mr. Gerock, of Cornhill, received a forged 101. note from the prisoner in payment for a pair of castanets for Rh. Montgomery, at his father's death, came into possession of a handsome fortune, and might have maintained a reputable and distinguished rank in life, had it not been for that baneful vice for which so many are made to suffer—gambling. Several large sums have been mentioned as the a►uount of this un happy man's losses at play. In addition to his pas sion for gaming he patronised the pugilistic r►ng, and was a constant frequenter of a celebrated betting house in Jermyn-street, St. James's. William Rice was indicted with Henry Jones, for a burglary in the house of Miss Freeman, at Totten ham, on the night of the 16th April. The prose cutrix keeps a preparatory hoarding school. On the morning after the robbery had been committed the prisoners were stopped by some watchmen, who felt convinced that they were the persons who had committed the robbery. On the person of Rice housebreaking implements and part of the stolen pro perty were found. Jones, in his attempt to escape, was seen to throw a chemise away, which was picked up and identified as the property of Miss Freeman. The prisoner (Rice) after being taken, said he did not care if he was " topped (hanged) ; and Jones said, that he had been five years on the salt sea, and he did not care if he was lagged (transported)." At the trial the prosecutrix was most anxious to recom mend the prisoners to mercy; and it is but justice to that lady to state, that since the unhappy men's con demnation, she and her friends have exerted them selves to prevent the dreadful sentence of the law being carried into effect. James Anderson and George Morris were indicted with Mary Young for a daring robbery, attended with violence, upon Thomas Johnson. The prosecutor, who is a young man, was induced to accompany a woman of the town to a house in Old Pye-street, Westminster; and after remaining some time with him she left him in the room. Shortly afterwards the prisoners entered the room and beat the prose cutor till he was in a senseless condition, and turned him into the street half naked, and his pockets were rifled of a sovereign, nine shillings, and a handker chief. The prosecutor said at the trial that he was a single man, and that he was quite sober when he entered the house. On the part of the prisoners a common prostitute appeared, named Mary Morris, as a witness, and she stated, that when the prose cutor entered the house he was drunk, and created a great noise, and would not go out. She also swore that the handkerchief, which the prose- tutor said was his property,belonged to Mary Young, and that she had seen it in her possession before that night. After the verdict of guilty had been pronounced, Mary Morris was committed to New gate for pet:jury. As she passed the prosecutor she said he was a false swearing wretch, and she would knock his - life out if she had the opportunity. She was then taken into Newgate by the officer, cursing and swearing at the Recorder for commit ing her. The warrant for the execution arrived at New' gate about eight o'clock on Saturday night, and shortly afterwards the dreadful intelligence was com municated to the wretched men by the Rev. Dr. Cotton. Notwithstanding the greatest delicacy was used by the Rev. Gentleman in imparting to these unhappy men their approaching fate, their fortitude forsook them, and it was some time before they could recover sufficient composure to give any arti culate expression to their feelings. The countenance and agitation of the body, however, conveyed more strongly than words the internal struggle, which they were scarcely able to sustain. ,o f co t u h t e ,ty Pe ß ac o, e co t m o mJooisLEritmFrß.

LONDON MAGAZINE. Of this number we can at resent gay no more than that—judging from the nature of its contents — it will amply repay perusal. We are glad to find that a series of legal papers is in progress through the Magazine; which, if they be followed up with the same spirit with which they haVe hegrui, will be of infinite service to it. From time to time, during the month, we may make extracts from the different Magazines, and this must he the excuse for our pre sent summary abridgement. 'MONTHLY MAGAZINE. " Meditations on Motu►tains " is a spirited sketchy paper, penned by •one vrVio has a ettong relish for mountain scenery about him. The style, though here awl there careless, is mtocular and appropriate. " The King of Arragon's Lament is in Mrs. He man's best style ; it is in truth it sweet poem. " Old Pictures" is a judicious criticis . ui on some paintings, by an old master; among others, there is an admirable account of Murillo's famous " Spanish Courtesan," it is the criticism of one who feels the full force and value of his subject. On the whole, this number, as it is light, is better than most of its predecessors. • THE MONTHLY REVIEW. Our notices of the Magazines must this month be unusually brief; space and tirse alike preventing detailed criticism. We may, however, observe with regard to the present Monthly that it is a good one, with much intelligence and variety. The first Review on Therrv's Edition of Canning's Speeches, is the best, and does justice to an intellivnt book ; the following observations with regard to Mr.- Can ning are striking and pertinent : It is a striking c haracteristic of the elevated spirit of 11 lc eloquence, that there is scarcely one occasion of its display that does not unfold some great maxim of public morality, some great suggestion of honourable policy; and it is this circumstance which will render his speeches—like those of Burke—apart from strict questions of temporary, or even historical, interest—enduring records of political wisdom. This philosophical enlargement of his views was, indeed, regarded with suspicion by narrow and grovelling minds; as if it had been inconsistent with skill in the practical details of gevernroent and finance. But happily for his fame he has left, at least, one monument of his power of successful application to the most dry and perplexing ques tions of political economy; sod his celebrated speech, in this collection, on the Bullion Committee, in 1811, re mains a model in its kind, sots lucid statement and perspi, cum's reasoning. To this effort, on a subject foreign to his nsual pursuits, there can be no doubt be was prompted by the ambition of proving an ability, like that of Pitt, for dealing with the most intricate matters of finance; and it is a just estimate of the speech before us, as well as the highest eulogy that can be passed upon it, that it " con tains all that has ever been urged with success in Parlia ment, on the side of the bullionists, stated in the best man ner, and recommended by all the captivating attractions of polished style, and copious and cogent illustration." The nice and jealous ears of personal honour, which breathes through Mr. Canning's speeches, was another and not the least attractive auxiliary of his eloquer4ce ; and though he sometimes pusked this feeling to the culpable . extreme of irritability, there can be no doubt that the quick sensitiveness which kindled at the slightest breath ,:f insult, quelled the voice of insolence and malice, and inspired re spect and affection in;better minds. In himself, this feel ing lit up his eloquence into the most brilliant animation, whenever a came arose that seemed to reflect on his indi vidual conduct, or in which the consideration of his ho nour as a gentleman, could by possibility be implicatcel.' " Memoirs of the Duke of Rovigo" is a trite dissertation on a trite subject ; it is alse lengthy. " Poems on Italy" barely do justice to Mr. Rogers' late velume on that subject ; though we do not agree with a late critic in the Times that this gentleman possesses power, yet he is assuredly not without elegance. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The Sketches of the Irish Bar, containing " The Last Clonraell Assizes," is undoubtedly the chief feature of attraction in the present number. It is Mr. Sheil's production ; a fact of which, if we were before doubtful, we are now convinced, inasmuch as the closing remarks respecting the " Cromwellian district of Tipperary" is totidem verbis the substance of a speech delivered by Mr. Skeil (and which speech is now lying before tts) at, we believe, the Associa tion, on the subject of the Clonmell Assizes. The present description, however, of one of those judicial extravaganzas, an Irish Assizes, where murder and merriment, the terrible and the ludicrous, are mixed up together in frightful jumble, is really full of power and truth of sketch. The " Anecdotes of the par" are amusing, but something hacknied, and " Campbell's Letter to the Students of Glasgow" dry and cumbersome." We bave me space for extracts. nci i\ ui l si ß ti L on AN w C as li k ° ,l l' d Y a t t p t il h e e E Co vi Ar e %cra i n n s d t T e ld r h ( C i v s o s mo roner, on rning an s' C E TIW I R " LorrF. STEVENS, 23 years of age, 67.1f,efi;oieeofTblIoldr}1.yiScoTafevp4s, of 188, Long Acre, who met het (lead] in the following awful manner .—Yesterday morn - ing, Mr. STEvseres and a friend left his residence far the . purpose of going on a fishing excursion, leaving Mrs. S. m her usual state of health, which generally was rather de licate ; they had not proceeded many yards, when Mrs. S. came following them in a hurried manner, bringing some part of their fishing tackle that they bad forgotten, which having delivered, she returned, but had not been many seconds in the house, when suddenly, she fell, and almost instantly expired. Mr. WALKER. Hume, and Mr. TWEED. Lx, surgeons, were in immediate attendance, but t ne purpose, —life was wholly extinct. The above gen tlemen gave an opinion that deceased's death might have been caused by the rupture of a vessel in the head, produ ced by sudden excitement. Mr. TWEaDALE observed, that he had professionally attended Mrs. S. from her chililhood ; •he was of a most amiable disposition, but always enter tained a violent antipathy to medicines of every diiscription. If ever so ill, no persuasion could induce her to take a dose, which eireumestance had led to an internal disease, And this, coupled with the rather unusual exertion made by the deceased in going after her husband, was, no doubt, the cause of her death. Juror—" You examined the body ?" Witness—" Yes." Jurcr—" And found no symptoms of - , oison, or marks of violence whatever Wi tnes s—. Not any. What I have stated I believe to be the cause of her death. If she had ttei dd to ihe pre - -criptions of her medical adeisers, she might have been alive and well in health now."
