GOBE.—The sudden change in the tone and lan guage of the Times toward the Irish Catholic clergy and their flocks, joined to the severe reproofs it has admi nistered to the Protestant Association for applying to them the self-same epithet, and accusing them of the self-same crimes, which had copiously filled the Times' columns, have naturally excited mingled surprise and dis g Ist in the Association, thus deserted, betrayed, and de n iunced by its former friend and advocate. The other Tory J.ournals, less facile in the art of pirouetting, employ considerable severity of rentrirk on this portentous omen tj the cause of intolerance : and charge the " Leadirg Journal" with dishonesty hi heaping upon the Protest.- ant Association "unmeasured and unwarrantable in vective"—having shortly before praised its objects, its efforts, and its agents. We alluded yesterday to the appeal which the Standard deemed it right to make in behalf of the Association, which, notwithstanding the denunciations of the Times, was affirmed to " deserve the support of the country." This morning the Herald devotes a considerable space to the same object. A letter from " A member of the Protestant Association" is published in its columns, and a long leading article gives effect to the epistle. The letter complains that " a journal well known for its sudden and unexpected changes of opinion on im portant subjects (witness those of late on Puseyism and Corn-laws), has within these three or -four days de nounced the• 4 Protestant Association,' as 'incendiaries ;' " and the Editor follows up the impeachment by remark ing, that the writer of the letter " complains with great earnestness, of the decree of condemnation which it has pleased a Morningf Contemporary to pass upon that body,- after its most imperial fashion of deposition and degra dation." The " leviathan of the press" is too mucliac customed to have the charge of " apostacy" hurled at its columns to be greatly disquieted by this fresh discovery of its baseness. The hide of a rhinoceros is not more impervious to the tickling of a straw than is the moral feeling of the Times to anything like a sensibility of shame. It is vain, therefore, for the Herald to at tempt to produce any such feeling in that journal by a quotation from its own columns ; and to add, that " our Contemporary himself, a few days before, anathe matised,- as 'surpliced ruffians,'" the Catholic priesthood of Ireland ; and, we may add, employed the degrading appellation of "savagery," as the characteristic portrai ture of the Irish people. For Popery or Protestantism, except as party words, and as supplying weapons for political controversy, on the principle which actuates mercenaries in a campaign, the Times cares nothing. The object for which the Irish Catholics were anathe matise& iS answered. STANDARD.—The immediate effect of the New Poor-law; - ' - inAiminishing home consumption, cannot be treated lightly by those who listen to the apology of the " deffcit'Ministers," for the defalcation to which they owe their names—the apology, that the success of the Rev.' , Mr: Mathew's mission has seriously affected the expenditure of the lower classe4 of the Irish. In So merset House there are three missionaries—we will not affront the excellent teacher of temperance by calling them - three Mr. Mathews—whose ascetic lessons have a far wider range of population to act upon, and - embrace a much greater number of articles of ex penditure than Mr. Mathew's pledge ; and there is this difference between them, that whereas Mr. Mathew leaves his followers to expend at their , pleasure .the money which they save by . his salutary instructions, the stern disciplinarians of So merset House make the unhappy beings submitted to their mercy still poorer by starvation: To look, how . ever, no further than the immediate effect of the Poor law as a cause of the depression of the home market, would 'be to take a very inadequate view of the mischie vous operation of a measure as unwise as it :is' inhuman. The fear of the union workhouse compels men to make 1 sacrifices and, exertions no less injurious to the commu nity than to themselves. They abridge their diet, not for their own profit, but for the gain of others ; they overtask their powers, not to gain more, but to pro cure any wages; and thus, in a market already' more than overstocked with labour, render miserable, and shorten, their own lives, in order to force others out of employment. And what is the general effect of this ? To enable the money capitalist to gamble with the most • complete indifference in the lives and happiness of his fellow-creatures. and in the safety of his country. It would be perfectly easy to trace - the opera tion of the New Poor-law in producing, by the encou agement of speculation, the distress now afflicting the rmanufacturing districts. The .money capitalist has always had labour at his command at whatever wages he might please to pay ; and if wages do not seem to have much diMinished, it is because inure toil has been taken out of the slave for the same money, and he has been paid for a less number of months or weeks. Has any one ever heard of a manufactory silent for want of hands since 18:34, or of many manufactories where work has been constant for the last seven years? No, the New Poor-law has changed all that. The money capitalist can now .take the market at his pleasure. and leave the earners of his additional wealth to starve whenever the inarket does not invite him. COU - 111E":1.—We took occasion a few weeks ago to expose the groundlessness and fallacy of the supposition, that a Gauen ative Government would find any peculiar difli - calty in dealing with. Ireland and Irish interests in the new Parliament ; and notwithstanding the more than .itsiial acrimonious virulence of Mr. O'Connell and hii; regiment of ragged partisans, notwithstanding his turgid threats, and his tone of insolent defiance, we have seen no reason since to alter or modify the decisive opinion we then expressed. With Ireland, we again emphatically repeat, Sir Robert Peel will experience i.o ',greater difficulty in dealing than with the other per dens *of the empire, and for this cogent reason, that his measures, and the wrole course of his policy, legislative an d a dministrative, towards that country, will be charac terised by the same rigorous adherence to constitutional prin:qples, and the same regard to the real wants and • wishes of the people, as will be Ills measures with regard to Vuollnd or Scotland. Those who pretend or fancy they • see in the state of Ireland obstacles in Sir R. Peel's path, reason about it as if it were a separate and distinct nation, and not an integral portion of the British em pire. They forget,. or seem to forget, .that all . distill- tious oti account of religion have been abolished, as well as that all those questions that were. wont to hove the had field of parties in the Commons, false been finally posed of., The subject of corporate reform lias been hickily set at rest.

This splendid vessel of 300-horse power is, we understand, the first of the four powerful steamers which are coming out to navigate our seas, and call into existence the vast resources of these important colonies. By our last advices from home we learn that the tituio, of similar power, was upon the eve of sail ing ; and we .can only add that if she and the others are equal to the Sea-Horse, no such vessels • have ever ap peared on our side of the globe.

AFFECTING INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH. --A respectable young man of the name of Robinson. with resided at No. 4, Devonshire street, New North road, Hoxton, returning from the city, whither he had been to deliver some work (his employment being that of a working jeweller), between the hours of eight and Pine o'clock on Tuesday evening knocked at the door of his residence, but before it could be opened he was speechless. At eleven o'clock he was a corpse, and up to then, from the time he entered, he had not been able , • to utter a sentence, although he had made several ineffec --. teal endeavours to do so., He has left a young wife and four small children to deplore his loss. „.7,-P-ISAPI`EVRANCE OF A STUDENT OF HO VEii+ N Co inEcE..-.—Yesterday information was received ''..-.'!::,-.1.1-9tlte ,inetropolavin police stations of the mysterious ..

Harvey, Esq. who resides at Blackpark, Langley, about two miles from Slough, 'there was a large piece of water, in many places upwards of 13 feet in depth, and covering an extent of 20 acres. Some saw-mills have lately been erected near this spot; and it having been discovered that a considerable leakage had taken place, it was resolved that the culvert,.several feet below the surface of the earth, should be bored down to, to ascertain if the flood-gates were faulty. While this work was in progress, and nearly completed (but fortunately while the workmen were absent), the force and weight of the water blew up the culvert, scattering the bricks and earth in various directions, and, in the course of a very short time, the whole of this immense sheet of water was dispersed. inun dating the neighbourhood of George-green and Langley to the depth of several feet, for a considerable distance. The lake is now nearly dry, and can be walked across at any part. The fish, of which it contained an im mense- quantity, are dispersed amongst the various ditches, and a considerable portion have been left dead (high and dry) in those places over which the enrrent passed. Yesterday the policemen's old peat coats were distributed for the use of the poor to the different metro politan parishes, by order of the Commissioners of Police. Many of them are very 'decent, and will be of great service to the poor men who are exposed to the inclemency of the weather. Among the fashions prevailing just now in Patis is that of wearing ten breadths in the skirts of the dress. In one of Jauy's papers he makes an old lady declare that the brocade of her wedding suit was afterwards Made into covers for a sofa and a dozen arm-chairs, and it seems likely that so curious an epoch of fashion will be now renewed. _ _ POPULATION OF - TURKEY.—The Augsburg Gazette states that the total population of Turkey is twenty-three millions, of whom sixteen are Musselinuns, and seven Christians or Jews. In some quarters of Con stantinople the population has been tripled since the commencement of the last reign. CENSUS of the CITY of LONDON. Returns have been sent by the Superintendent Re gitrars of the City of London, the West London, and the East London Unions, to the Registrar-General's Office, of the population of the several parishes forming the Union, agreeably to the 3d and 4th Vic. ' c. 99, the 3d and 4th Vic., c. 100, and the 4th and sth Vic., c. 7. The parishes are as follow : • CITY OF LONDON UNlON.—Ninety-eightlarishes. WEST LONDON UNION.—St. Andrew, Holborn ; St. Bride, St. Bartholomew the Great, and St. Bartholomew the Less. BRIDEWELL PRECINCT.—St. Dunstan in the West and St. Sepulchre. EAST LONDON UNION.—St. Giles, Cripplegate ; St. Botolph, Aldersgate ; St. Botolph, Aldgate ; and Bishopsgate. The total results are—Males, 46,263 ; females, 48,963. Grand total population, 1831, 123,897 ; 1841, 126,242. Excess of 1841 over 1831, 3,655. Excess of females over males, 2,673, with the exception of the West Lon don Union, which were not obtained, but where they scarcely vary. In the above returns are included the. Fleet Prison, in St. Bride's, which contained 230 persons; the East Lon don Union Workhouse, which contained 157 persons; the West London Union Workhouse, which contained 387 persons; St. Bartholomew's Hospital, which con tained 533 persons; Bridewell Hospital, which contained 154 persons ; Newgate, which contained 265 persons; the Ladies' School, King-street, which contained 51 persons; the Giltspur-street Compter, which contained 210 persons; Whitecross-street Prison, which contained 585 persons; the workhouse in Bishopsgate, which contained 297 per sons; and St. Sepulchre's workhouse. which contained 85. Many of the parishes within the walls of the City of London, and which are formed into the City of Lon don Union, have a population of between 100 and 200 persons. According to the return of 1831, in the parish of St. Christopher-le-Stock, Threadneedle-street, the population was only 72. According to the same retnrn there were only twelve parishes which contained more than 1,000 persons, the most populous being St. Ann, Blackfriars, whose population was 2,622; Christchurch, Newgate-street, the same number; and St. Stephen, Coleman-street, which had a population of 1,014. THE HERRING FISHERY. DUNBAR HERRING FISHERY, Auc. 7.--The fishing continues to a wish. There are a few misses, but this always happens. The harbour is literally crowded with boats, yet not a half of those fishing in the bay ever enter the harbour, brit run to other ports for delivery. There are ten vessels in the harbour curing, and almost double the number of curers on shore ; prices conse quently keep high—this morning 12s. 6d. to 13s. was given. 13}twicK.—The fishing still continues to be attended with gradually increasing success. On the mornings of Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday the take ranged from one barrel to six or eight; and on Thursday morn ing, while some of the boats were very poorly fished, others had as high as fifteen or sixteen barrels. The take on Friday morning was very limited, the boats not ave raging more than two baskets and a half. The price still continues at from 15s. to 16s. per barrel. None of the French boats have yet arrived on this part of the coast. HOLY ISLAND.—The herring fishing here hai been but very partial as yet PETERHEAD, AUG. s.—The stormy weather prevented our boats from getting out to the fishing in the end of last week. On Monday night the fishing was very gene ral and heavy, but the quality of the fish was not good, nearly the half of them being spent. Tuesday the quan tity was much smaller, and the quality not good. Last night hardly any were got, and the quality not im proved; our average up to this date will he about twenty two trans. 'FRASEREURGH, Atro.2.—The boats at this place only went to sea once during last week, owing to the rough state of the weather. The average to this date is 20 crans per bdat. BANFF, AUG. 3.—During the ]after end of last week the very boisterous weather stopped the fishing for three days. This week has begun much better. At Banff and llacduff, on Tuesday, the 3d, the average was about teii crans a-boat. Yesterday and to-day, only about two crans a-boat. The demand for cured herrings continues languid ; the heavy stocks of old fish on the Continent prevent orders from arriving, and the extravagant prices paying to the fishermen this year, makes the trade very hhzardous for the curer. TO NON-ELECTORS. IIOW TO GAIN A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH- OUT INTLIIIDATION. Every Reformer who is excluded from the list of voters, and does not possess.the necessary qualifications to get his name on the register, may as effectually contri bute to the return of a Reform Candidate as if ho had a vote for himself, and that vote was protected from inti midation by the ballot ; if he will examine the list of voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer at all reasonable hours, any day before the IZth of August, and make a note of the name and addrest; of any Tory that appears on the register and is not in every way qualified.' He should immediately forward the information, with ground of objection, to some active Reformer or Registration Committee, who will object to him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will be excluded from the register, the onus of proof lying entirely with the person objected to. Thus the Tory vote struck off will be ono gained to The cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more so. than a vote given by the informant under the protec tion of the ballot.

SWAMPING OF A PORTION or BLACK, FRIARS-MUDGE PlER.—About six o'clock on Monday evening a barge, comprising a portion of the above p ier, was swamped in the following manner :—lt appears that the barge, which had been recently boarded over, and seats fixed thereupon for the accommodation of passen gers, was used only at the receding of the tide for the purpose of lengthening the pier, but on the return thereof it was moored under the first arch of the bridge. On the present occasion it was nearly half-tide, and the man whose duty it was to perform the office had just unfast ened the rope by which it was moored to the arch, when the swell occasioned by two or three steam-vessels caused her to go down. She was an old leaky craft, and totally unfit for the purpose she was used, and it is perhaps a most fortunate circumstance that she was not in her sta tion at the time of the occurrence, as great inconvenience. if not fatal results, might have been the consequence, and thus have added to the melancholy loss of human life al ready experienced at this truly dangerous and . (to the City) disgraceful landing. THE SUN, _LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12 1841. PLYMOUTH BREAKWATER. The following paper, containing a succinct, yet inte resting account of the rise, progress, and present state of this national undertaking, which was read at the recent meeting of the British Association at Plymouth, will, we are sure, prove interesting to our readers. We ex tract it from the Plymouth Herold : it ever has been, that the Government acted wisely in determining upon a stone in preference to a wooden Breakwater for Plymouth Sound. I will now allude to another and certainly an impor tant question, which has been recently mooted in refe rence to the results said to have been produced by the Stone Breakwater on the harbour of Plymouth, I refer to the accumulation of mud and silt, and consequent loss of five feet in the depth of water. I exceedingly regret that I had not an opportunity of being ,present at the Geological Section, when a paper was read by Mr. Wil liam Walker, on " Submarine Geological changes pro duced by Pholas at Plymouth," as it was not announced in the printed journal of Sectional Proceedings for the day. It has been asserted that the accumulation has taken place in the Sound, and that a decrease in the depth of the water has taken place to the extent which I have just named, and this is attri buted to the erection of the Breakwater. Referring to the original report of Messrs. Rennie and Whidbey, I find the following statement, respecting the settlement of mud and silt, in the Sound :—" From conversing with pilots, and various other intelligent men whom we met at Plymouth, we have reason to believe the depth of water in the Sound is on the decrease, by the settlement of mud and silt brought down by the rivers from the in terior country, and also by the embankment of the mud lands within, thus diminishing the ancient receptacles of the waters of the tide, whic both in its flux and re flux occasions a powerful scour in its passage through the Sound." The fact is, that a recent enclosure of 275 acres of the backwater of the Catwater above Laira bridge had just taken place, and it seems evident, I think, from this observation, that mud and silt was then in the Sound. On a consideration, however, of the whole question, whether the plan of a Breakwater, as proposed by them, would have any material effect upon the Sound, Messrs. Rennie and Whidbey were of opinion that there was no possible danger of its becoming more shallow, and that no further deposition of silt or mud would take place, except, indeed, immediately without and within the Breakwater itself, out of which they conceived no in jury would accrue. The question now arises, what effect has the Breakwater had upon Plymouth Sound ? Has it decreased the depth of water there ? and, if so, to the depth of five feet, as alleged ? The question is in deed a most important one, and if there be any truth in the allegation, it may be fairly asked, " How is it that the authorities have not investigated the subject ?" We have already seen that the Breakwater originated with the Government, and having been constructed under the immediate direction of the Admiralty,, it may seem strange that their Lordships have not entered upon the consideration of ' a subject so vitally affecting this naval and maritime port. But let me inform you that their Lordships have not overlooked the sub ject, they have had it investigated, and I cannot but think that, when statements are put forth as to the filling up of the Plymouth Sound, some reference, at least, should be made to such investigation. In conse quence of a communication, made in July, 1838, to the naval authorities of this port, to the effect that a deposit was then going on in the Sound, the Admiralty directed Mr. James Walker, Civil Engineer, to report fully upon the subject, and the best means of providing against the apprehended injury to the anchorage. Mr. Walker, after a very long and laborious investigation of the sub ject, and after having had a minute survey made of Plymouth Sound, in the progress of which upwards of 2,000 soundings were taken, reported to the Admiralty in 1840, that, taking the mean of all the soundings that could be supposed to be affected by the Breakwater, the result was, that there was but very little increase or decrease, and that, if there was any decrease of depth in the Sound (except close to the Breakwater, and which could produce no practical evil), this was certain, that if it had taken place it was but small, certainly not enough to cause alarm, or to justify expensive measures for removing the cause. So much then for the allega tion of a decrease of five feet in the depth of the water in the Plymouth Sound. But now to the question of the submarine agency. I have been connected with the Breakwater since its commencement, and have conse quently had the most ample means of watching the pholas, which, according to the opinion of some parties, are destined ultimately to destroy the work. The follow ing is the result of my observations :—The perforation of the limestone by the pholas only takes place at that part of the work which is between the low water of spring tides, and the low water of neap tides ; this per foration only occurs upon the outer surface of the stone, and to a depth net exceeding three inches. I have never discovered any such perforation in the interior of the work, although I have recently had occasion, in the execution of the Breakwater, to remove stones by the aid of a diving bell to the depth of five feet below low water, which had been deposited there upwards of twenty-five years. I am aware that loose stones have been taken up from beaches and from the bottom of the Sound, perforated by the pholas, but they must have been perforated before they got to such places, for the pholas have never on such occasions been found alive. The Breakwater has, indeed, realised the expecta tions of its warmest friends, and if the opinion of one who has been connected with the undertaking throughout is to be relied on, the Members of the British Associa tion, the inhabitants of Plymouth, and the public gene rally, need be under no apprehension that the anchorage in the Sound will be destroyed by the accummulation of mud, or that the Breakwater itself will ever be lost to this country by the submarine agency in question. The thanks of the Section were then given to Mr. Stuart. In the course of the reading of the paper, Mr. Stuart produced a Chart of Plymouth Sound, on a large scale, with the recent soundings ; a Plan and Section of the Breakwater, as originaily designed, showing the several alterations, and its present state ; also a model of the cir cular head and inverted arch of a plan of the lighthouse, as now constructing. A TRAGEDY 114 HIGH larg. , —A horrible tragedy has just taken place at Florence. Two sons of Lord A. (who has a villa near Florence) went into the town a few days since to look at some horses at a livery stable, when a quarrel ensued, and words ran high between them ; nevertheless, they returned home apparently recon ciled to `each other, and dined and slept as usual under their father's roof. The next day they again went out, ostensibly to shoot ; but the younger brother, a lad of 18, still nourished a deadly resentment to his elder brother, a young man of 23, on account of the dispute of the pre ceding day, and upon a bird getting up, he deliberately levelled his pun and aimed at his brother ; but only suc ceeding iu slightly wounding him in the side; he drew a pistol, and took a surer aim by shooting him in the back of the neck, and raising up part of the skin of the head. As soon as his brother had fallen this mo dern Cain fled into a neighbouring vineyard, where several contadini seized him, and, remonstrating with him upon this horrible conduct, told him that he would come to the galleys at last. To which he replied, with great defiance. "No, no, thank you; I shall never come to the galleys !" drew another pistol from his pocket, and, opening his mouth, shot himself dead on the spot. 'The corpse of this unfortunate suicide and fratricide was left to blacken for many hours, unheeded, beneath the scorching rays of an Italian sun, while the wounded body of the elder brother was conveyed home to his father, who is said to have exclaimed on seeing it—not knowing the fate of his other son—" If that most unnatural wretch escape the gallows, it will not he my .fa ult." His Lordship was heard the next day giving, with self-collectedness, a detailed account of this horrible affair at Fenzi's, the banker's, previously to his departure for Leghorn. Meanwhile a council of some hours' duration was held at Lord Holland's, as to whether the suicide should be buried in consecrated ground or not ; it was at length decided that he should ; so accord ingly, by torch-light, with no other attendants but-the clergyman and sexton, the body was consigned to the grave, and thus closed this fearful domestic tragedy, worthy of the Borgias and their times. The life of the wounded brother is still precarious. —Court Journal. BREAD USED IN ENGLAND FOUR HUNDRED TEARS Auo.—lt would appear that bread of dif ferent degrees of fineness was used ; thus there is " bread purchased for the Countess" and " bread for the kitchen." . :Loaves or cakes made of bolted flour, and called " are twice mentioned, as well as " gas telli," cakes or wastels, perhaps biscuits; on one occasion, half a quarter of flower is set down for pastry. It is reasonable to infer, that the bread gene rally used in the family was made of the grain called mystelon, a term yet in use at the beginning of the six teenth•century, and applied to a mixture of wheat and rye. As the dogs were fed on corn, it may be concluded that, the servants fared so worse, at any rate there is no distinct notice of bread made of barley, oats, or the mete inferior grain which Were commonly used in France and other countries. It is not clear that their bread was leavened with yeast, as that article occurs but once, and then in connection with malt. The price of the quarter of wheat or rye varied from ss. to ss. Bd. ; of oats, from 2s. to 2s. 4d. ; twentyfive, however, were bought at Sandwich, at ls. 10d. When grain was brought from . the Countess's manors, some of the prices were below the average. The bailiff of Chalton was allowed ss. the quarter for wheat, 4s. for barley, and 2s. 4d. for oats; the bailiff of Braborne had 4s. 4d. for wheat, and ls.3d. for oats. The item which follows bread is wine, of which only two sorts are named in the early part of the roll, red and white. The wines drank in England during the thirteenth century came chiefly from Guienne •, others from the vineyards of Anjou, Aucerne, and Poitou. Gascon wine is not espe cially mentioned until towards the end of the document, in August, when that and the wine called Bastard be came the general drink of the family. The term Bas tard was given to all "Mixed and sweetened wines ; nn English writer, boWever, who lived in the fifteenth cen tury, reckons' Bastard among those wines which were naturally sweet, and, therefore, unwholesome. It is called sweet wine in the roll. Little information is given as to the price of wine : we find that the sum of 9s. 2d. was paid for twenty-two galllons, and that two tuns cost 3/.

DEPRESSION OF TRADE.—We would fain be spared the pain of. week a fter week, having to report con tinued embarrassments, l osses , and unprofitable business in the commercial world; but duty and truth compel us to do so. A more harrassing week in. business than the past we do not recollect to have known. There has been a great want of confidence manifested, and where parties have been compelled to force sales, the most ruinous sacrifices have been made. Orders, whether for yarn or goods, have been exceedingly restricted, considering the season of the year, and invariably executed at declining rates. To tell the number of spinning . and manufactur ing concerns which are at a total stand, or only partially worked, and of the multitude of honest operatives thrown out of employment, and reduced to beggary and starvation, would be next to impossible, and appal the stoutest heart. Let any man take a survey within a circle of 12 miles mend Manchester, and see the dilapi dated and deserted dwellings, the miserable and meagre wretches seeking about the country for work, 4r Ara vng morself of bread ; let him mark the signs of bank, ruptey, and a ruinous depi eciation of property, which everywhere meet him ; and then ask himself if such a commercial hurricane ever devastated the country be fore ?—Manchester Courier LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF REVIEW, Aug. 11. EXPARTE PICKSTOCK, IN RE-PICKSTOCK, AN ALLEGED BANKRUPT. This was a petition from Pickstock, of Clement's-lane, City, who had been an extensive private banker, and agent for Guernsey, Jersey, and the Channel Islands, praying that the 'fiat issued against him might be su perseded, on the ground that he had committed no act of bankruptcy. Mr. James Russell and Mr. George Russell f-)r the petitioner, and Mr. Swanston and Mr. .Anderdon for the petitioning creditor, who opposed the prayer of this petition. Mr. JAMES RUSSELL said that in the course of his ex tensive business as a private banker and agent, as wel as a merchant trading to fiireign countries, the petitioner, Mr. Pickstock, had necessarily large dealings in paper, and the failure, in July last, of an eminent Guernsey house in Lombard-street, with whom he had discounted, had involved Mr. Pickstock in its consequences, and com pelled him to suspend his payments. The fiat in this case had been issued on the petition of a Mr. M‘Donald,who had been a correspondent of Mr. Pickstock at Ili - M(111ms, and for whom the latter bad acted as private banker and agent. Mr. M'Donald, it appeared, arrived at Liverlwl from Hon duras, in May last, in an unsound state of mind. On the 9th of July a docket was struck against Mr. Pick stock, on the petition of this; insane gentleman, the fiat issued on the 22d, and the adjudication took place on the 29th. It was not until the day previou4 to this hearing that Mr. Pickstock or his legal advisers were made ac quainted with the nature of the act of bankruptcy alleged to have been committed by him. On Monday last, how ever, an affidavit had been filed by a Mr. Duncan clair, who, it appeared, was the son-in-law of Mr. M`Donald, in which he stated, that on or about the 9th of July (but he could not state exactly the day) he, Sin clair, accompanied by Mr. M‘Donald, went to the office of Mr. Pickstock, in Clement's-lane, saw Mr. Pickstock, and on being informed that Mr. M'Donald was below, Mr. Pickstock said to deponent "go down to him and tell him I am not in, and I cannot give him any money." Now, the Learned Counsel observed, -it was upon this expression, " tell him I am not in," that the allegation of an act of bankruptcy solely rested. But Mr. Sinclair's statement on this point was most solemnly denied upon oath by Mr. Pickstock and three of his clerks. The . Learned Counsel haviug read and commented on these affidavits, submitted that the balance of testimony was in favour of Mr. Pickstock, and that under the circum stances of the case the petitioner was ex debito justitite to have the fiat annulled. Mr. G. RUS S ELL followed on the same side. Mr. SWANSTON and Mr. ANDERDON, on the part of Mr. M‘Donald, urged that Mr. Pickstock was evidently in a desperate state of insolvency, that whilst his liabili ties exceeded 50,000/., his assets were 8,0001. only. The best thing, therefore, for hitu. was unquestionably to have his affairs administered through the medium of the Court of Bankruptcy. Sir J. CROSS (without calling on the other side to reply) said, this was a case of admitted insolvency, and so far was a proper case of bankruptcy if the fiat could be sustained. But it appeared that the petitioning cre ditor was in an imbecile state of mind, or at least of memory, and therefore incapable of making an affidavit ; so that whether he could ever sustain the fiat, even if a valid act of bankruptcy had been committed, was very doubtful. Looking, therefore, at the circumstances, he was clearly of opinion that the truth was on the side of Mr. Pickstock. In saying this, however, he did not mean to ik.pute wilful and corrupt perjury to Mr. Sin clair ; but he did think that it was reasonable to assume that he was mistaken. The order of the Court was, that the fiat be annulled—the costs to be paid by the peti tioning creditor, or those who had made use of him in this matter. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Croydon, August 11. CROWN COURT. Henry Terry, 22, and William Shoesmith, 24, were in dicted for the manslaughter of William Thompson. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Tyndale appeared for the pro secution. The prisoners and the deceased were labourers on the South-eastern Railway, at Limpsfield, and on the 28th of May the deceased, who went by the name of Blackey, had a quarrel and fight with one of the prisoners, but it was made up, and deceased went away. On the same afternoon while the deceased was quietly sitting on a heap of bricks, the prisoners went up to him, and one of them wiped some blood off his face with a wisp of straw, and they then both seized him, and attempted to drag him to a pond of water, and on his resisting they knocked him down and kicked him, and left him lying insensible in the road. The poor man was not discovered for some hours, when he was found to be in a most dreadful state, and removed to the Union Workhouse, and after two or three days suffering, expired, from the brutal injuries. The prisoners absconded, but were apprehended. The Jury found the prisoners Guilt - y, and Sergeant TADDY sentenced them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. • CiviL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) The causes disposed of yesterday were totally devoid of public interest. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Gloucester, August 10. CONVICTION FOR MURDER. William Weyman was charged with the wilful murder of William Fisher, on the 17th of April last, at Yock ington, in this county. The deceased it appeared was a small farmer, residinr , upon his own land, at Auckley, and the prisoner lived near him. He had served 28 years in the Horse Guards, and was in the receipt of a pension for his services of ls. 4d. a day. On the Tuursday before the fatal occur rence took place which formed the subject of the present trial, Weyman went in company with two other persons to Bristol, to receive his arrears of pension, with which he re turned to his lodging the same night. His landlady observed him soon after with a pistol, upon which her son (a little boy) asked him what he was going to do with it, to which he replied, " I am going to Auckley to shoot a horse for Mr. Millard, for it has got the staggers." At the time his appeared to be in liquor, but not so much so as he had been on several previous occasions. On his return, in about an hour, young Jefferies said, " Have you shot the horse ?" He said, "I have not ; he's bet • ter." On Saturday morning he got up about seven, He was quite sober then. Mrs. Jefferies's little girl noticed when he came down stairs that he had the pistol with him ; she thereupon said, " Are you going to shoot the horse again to-day?" He replied, "I am; he is a good deal worse to-day." About nine o'clock he left his lodgings, and was seen by several witnesses in the neighbourhood of the deceased's dwelling. One woman, at whose house he called on his way thither, stated that he told .her that he had been drinking gin all that morning, and that he had been looking for Wm. Fisher, either to butcher him or to shoot him. At this time he did not seem much in liquor. This witness had known the prisoner before he went into the army. She had also known his father and mother ; and, in reply to a question from :the prisoner's Counsel, stated that she had never seen anything at all incoherent in his manner, and had never heard that he had a wound in his head. She was surprised to hear his expression respecting William Fisher, as he was .. in ge- neral extremely civil to every one. • This witness's brother, who was a butcher, said that. the prisoner was in the habit of shooting beasts for him. The last he shot for him was on the Monday before Fisher's death, on which, and on every similar occasion, he was accustomed to use a pistol elonging to the butcher. It seemed that about eleven -o'clock on the Saturday already alluded to the prisoner, the deceased, and three other men, of the names of Elmes, Cullimore, and Knapp, were sitting together in a public-house kept by a person of the name of Thomas. Mr. Cullimore stated that Fisher and he were sitting upon a settle, on the opposite side;of it. The prisoner and the deceased had some conversation together on un important subjects, till a person of the name of Thomas Janett passed along the road in the front of the house, when the prisoner observed that he had, a few days be fore, delivered to Janett a letter containing a 501. note, on which the deceased said,. " That's a lie. The pri soner replied, " Had you said that out of doors you would never have kicked again." Deceased said again. "You're a liar," and repeated this observation several times, concluding with "You are the damnedest liar in England." - Upon this the prisoner, exclaimed, " That's enough," and immediately passed out through the back kitchen, having in his pocket a horse pistol at the time. In about o minutes he returned, and putting the pistol close to the.deceased's head fired, when he instantly fell, Witness then went out, not thinking that the deceased was killed, and on his retnrn found William Fisher on the ground with his jaw shattered, and in a dying state. After seine further evidence, Mr. .IiLATING addressed the Jury in a very able man ner on behalf of the prisoner,, and endeavoured to pal liate his guilt upon the grounds of insanity. After which Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up mi nutely the whole of the evidence, and The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP then put on the black cap, and passe d sentence of death upon the unhappy man, leaving him no hope of mercy in this world. The prisoner, who is a. fine athletic-looking man, re mained wholly unmoved during the trial. THE RAILWAY TO SCOTLAND.--The par ties favourable to the formation of a railway to Edin burgh on the west coast line have'held a meeting within the last few days at Liverpool, and passed a series of re solutions in support of the project. The principal pro moters of the measure are the Liverpool and Man chester Railway and the Grand Junction Railway Companies.. If, therefore, the eastern coast line, in which Newcastle is so deeply interested, is to have any chance of success, the friends of the undertaking should exert themselves without citl.l Y.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. (Mr. Sergeant ADDAms in the Chair.) Nine of the gentlemen summoned on the Grand Jury were fined 10/..each for non-attendance. qeorye Miles Weston, a fashionably-dressed gentle man, appeared on an indictment charging him with as saulting \Vm. Metcalfe, a policeman of the C division. Mr.Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne for the defence. Metcalfe, being called, stated that he was at the ,Royal Standard public house, ill Piccadilly, on the morning of the 16th of June, about six o'clock. lie was talking to some persons about the army, in which he had been 23 years, when the defendant interposed, and, asking him if he knew some one in the regiment named, upon his answering in the negative, the defendant violently abused him, and swore he never belong - 0 to the army. Metcalfe was then going away when Weston felled him. lie then left for the purpose of gaining assistance, when Weston followed him, knocked him into the kennel, and severely kicked him. Metcalfe further swore that he had not retaliated with even provoking language. Frederick Tothill, surgeon, deposed to the seriousness of the injuries inflicted. Philip Crick, clerk to 'a salesman in Covent-garden, Sarah Gale, barmaid at the lloyal Standard, William. Shayr, hosier, John White, chemist, William Hogg, mid James Henson, water-carriers, were all present, and con firmed the statement of the policeman. Mr. DOANE, for the defence, called William I)nke, an independent gentlenian and associate of Mr. Weston, Whose evidence was thr rever=e of what the other wit nesses adduced. James Mitchell, a job-nias,er residing i't tipper Mon tag,ne-street, confirmeil the evidence of the last witne:--s. Mr. DoANE replied. The Learned Chairman briefly summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault._ Sergeant 'ADDAMS th - en said—" George Miles Weston, you have been convicted, and very properly so, of a very gross assault ; youirhave been called a gentle man, and are said to keep horses, but, without being a severe moralist, I conider your conduct on this occa sion to have been most ungentlemanly and inhuman. The sentence of this Court is that you be imprisoned in the House of Correction for the term of one calendar month, and that you pay a fine of 251. to the Queen.'.' The other eases were very trivial, and the Sessions will finish to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a young woman, who had been cook in a family in the City, was brought before Alderman WIL SON, charged with having applied to Mr. James White, of Crutched-friars, for money, without having any claim upon him, and with having persevered in making the demand. She had a female child in her arms. The complainant having simply stated the matter as above, Alderman WILSON asked him why she should apply to him for money rather than to anybody else ? Was it on account of the child she had in her arms ? The complainant—l met her in Bartholomew Fair about three years ago. It was at the late hour of twelve o'clock at night when I happened to go to Smithfield to see the change that had taken place, and she says now that the child is like me. Alderman WILSON—You mean that she charges you with being the father and refusing to support the child ? The complainant—That is the case ; but the question has been already decided in my favour at the Quarter Sessions, where the parish officers, believing that they had a good case against me, tried it, but were defeated. , The mother of 'the child—l solemnly swear that he is the father of my child, but he hired a counsel against me, and I would not be heard. I have applied to him since the unjust decision, because I cannot afford to sup port the infant. I had just left my place, and gone with a female friend to see one of the shows in Bartholomew Fair, when he came up to us, and he saw me home, and invited me to his house next day, and I unfortunately kept my appointment. Alderman WILSON—Did he ever support yen, or the child? The mother—He used to give me money to sup port the child. He has given me as much as seven or eight sovereigns for that purpose. The complainant—No such thing. certoinly gave her money because I pitied her when she called on me in distress. I then relieved her, but new . (tom the idea that I was the father of the child. The mother—You dare not swear that it is not your child. The complainant—l know nothing of the child. Alderman WILSON—As the question has been decided by the Bench at the Sessions, it is impossible that I can allow the complainant to be annoyed by the defendant. The mother—You may send me to prison, Sir. I can do nothing. The commitment was then ordered to be made out. PLYmOUTII BREAKWATER. " W. STUART, Esq., Superintendent of this Work, then read the following paper : " Gentlemen,—Before I proceed to the immediate sub ject of my paper, I may, perhaps, be allowed to state that from the moment at which I first learned that the eleventh meeting of the British Association would be held at Plymouth, I purposed preparing a communication upon the Breakwater to lay before it, for I readily ima gined that a communication respecting that great national undertaking could not be but well re ceived. Had this, however, not been my determine `ion, I should have felt myself called upon, after the recent papers which have been presented to the Association in this and another of its sections, to make some communication upon the subject ; for, as the matter now appears before you, the present stone Breakwater has on the one hand been productive of very injurious results to this great naval and maritime port, by causing a deposit within, and consequent loss of depth of water of about five feet ; and on the other hand, not withstanding the great outlay on the a part of the Go vernment in the construction of that Breakwater, it will be entirely destroyed by submarine agency. But as to thg correctness of these conclusions 1 shall presently say a word. The importance attached to Plymouth as a naval station, arising from the magnitude of its Dock yard, and other causes, gAye rise to the Breakwater. In the early part of the year 106, the attention of the Admiralty was directed to the subject. and in the month of February in that year their Lordships directed the late Mr. John Rennie, civil engineer, and the late Mr. Joseph Whidbey, then Master Attendant at Woolwich Dock-yard, to proceed to Plymouth to survey the Sound. It is unneeessary - that I should say a word upon the judiciousness of the selection thus made of the parties who were to plan a Breakwater .for Ply mouth Sound. Mr. Rennie was then at the head of his profession, and up to the period of his lamented death, 1821, maintained his well-earned reputation. Mr.Whid bey had had considerable experience as a Master in the navy ; had sailed round the word with Vancouver, dur ing which he had made extensive surveys of harbours, tides, kc., and for several years had been Master At tendant at Woolwich and Sheerness Dockyards. On the lath of March, 1806, Messrs. Rennie and.Whidbey met at Plymouth in order to carry out their Lordship's in structions, and on the. 21st of April they made a joint Report to the Admiralty with the result of their.survey,, and. at the same time submitted to them a plan for a stone Breakwater, and gave their opinions upon several plans which had been previously proposed for protecting Ply mouth Sound and Cawsand Bay, none of which, however, had been prepared under the directions of the Board of Ad miralty. The plan proposed by Messrs. Rennie and Whidbey consisted of a Pier or Breakwater across Ply mouth Sound, of 1,700 yards in length at the top, 1,000 of which at the middle part was to be straight, and 350 yards at each end was to incline to the straight part in an angle of about 20 degrees, leaving an opening at either end for the •passage of vessels, &c. The. top of the Breakwater was to be ten yards in width at the level of ten feet above the lower water of an ordinary spring tide, and to have a slope on the south or sea side, of three feet horizontal to one foot perpendicular, and on the north or land side, one and a half horizontal to one perpendicular. The work was to be constructed by blocks of stone, thrown promiscuously into the sea, in the line of the intended Breakwater, leaving them to find their own base, and the topOrts to be composed of a cut. stone pier. !-A? ,77 • .- • . This report and plan was very 'favour a bly received, but owing to frequent changes in the Government and other causes, the commencement of the Breakwater was delayed, and it was not until the 22d of June, 1811, that the order of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent in Council was issued for that purpose. T,he necessary steps were immediately taken to carry out that order, and in the beginning of 412, twenty-five acres of lime stock rock, situated at Oreston, adjoining the harbour of Catwater, were purchased for a sum of 10,000/. The first stone of the work was laid on the 12th of August, 1812, after which vessels continued to discharge their cargoes, consisting of stones of from half a ton to 7 tons in weight, upon the line of the direction of the intended work. By the 30th of March, 1813, a small part of the Breakwater was visible at low water, and by the 30th of July following the work was dry at low water to the ez ,tent of about 720 yards. The work progressed, so rapidly that in the month of March, 1814, first-Fate ships of war were enabled to anchor in the Sound,instead of in Cawsand Bay as they had previously done. In No vember 1814, it was determined to bring up the Break water to the height of 20 feet above low water of spring tides, and to finish it with rubble instead of with a cut stone pier as originally intended. In August, 1815, 1,100 of the 1,700 yards of the intended length of the Breakwater were brought up above the level of low water, spring tides. Up to this time 615,057 tons of stone had been deposited. The first storm which mate rially effected the work, occurred in January 1837 ; and in the month of November, 1825, another storm occurred, far exceeding in violence any that had pre eeeded it since the work began. The wind blew from the S.S.E. to S.W. and the tine rose seven feet higher than the usual flow of spring tides. At this period, 1,241 yards in length of the Breakwater were completed, of which 796 yards were overturned and deposited upon the northern slope, during the storm (which lasted only a few hours) leaving only 445 yards remaining not much damaged at the east end of the main arm. The slope as left by the sea on this occasion from low water upwards was about 5 feet horizontal to 1 foot perpendicular and in some places ra ther more. It was therefore determined in April 1825, to form the Breakwater regularly from the level ofJow water, spring tides, with a casing of rough squared blocks of granite and limestone on the top and on the exterioror south side with a slope of 5 to 1, and on the inner or north side with rough blocks of limestone with a slope of 2to 1. It was also determined to change the centre line by placing it 39 feet 6 inches to the northward, so as to leave the great mass of materials to seaward, and to in crease the width on the top to 45 feet. I may here remark that although the Breakwater was so much affected by this great storm, and considerable damage was sus tained by the shipping then in the harbour, yet the generally received opinion was, that had the Breakwater not been in existence, the shipping would have sustained still greater damage, and the lower part of the town of Plymouth been swept away. In 1830 it was found necessary still to add to the south side, by depositing about 60,000 tons of stone as a foreshore, fifty feet in width from the top of the south slope at low water at the west end, and 30 feet at the east end of the main arm. In 1833 it was proposed to complete the extreme western end of the Breakwater with a circular head of solid masonry with an inverted arch as the foundation of an intended lighthouse. In February, 1838, a storm removed about 8,000 tons of stone from the foreshore at the west end, and threw them over to the north side, and disturbed a portion of the masonry, where it was uncon nected or in an unfinished state. A further extension of the foreshore at this part was consequently agreed upon. Another severe storm in November of the same year, producing nearly similar results, occasioned the construction of a buttress not only for the purpose of se curing the foot of the south slope, but also to afford protection to the intended lighthouse, by breaking the force of the sea, and preventing the stones composing the foreshore from beating against the lighthouse. The force of the sea at this part of the work is so consider able, that stones of 15 and even twenty tons have been taken from low water, and carried over the top of the work. The buttress as well as the work in progress round the west-end at the foot of the slope at low water • is composed of granite masonry, clove-tailed horizontally, and vertically fixed with iron lewes or cramps, the rough biocks formerly deposited being first removed by the aid of a diving-bell, to the depth of from 3 to 5 feet below • low water, and the masonry then laid at the above men tioned level. It was originally calculated that 2,000,000 tons of stone would be required to construct a Breakwa ter according to the plan of Messrs. Rennie and 'Whid bey, but from the various extensions of the work, the quantity has necessarily increased, and the total amount deposited since the commencement of the work on the 12th August 1812, up to the 31st July, 1841, was 3,377,068 tons. The greatest number of tons of stones deposited in any one week amounted to 15,329, and the greatest quantity in any one year to 332,407. The estimated cost of the Breakwater, as originally planned in 1806, was 1,013,900/., but this amount cannot fairly be brought into comparison ith the actual out lay, owing to the frequent alterations which have taken place in the mode of executing the work, aml the conse quent increase in the quantity of material:; required for the purpose. The expenditure upon the whole untbr taking up to this period has nevertheless only amounted to 1,111,7001.; and the cost of the Breakwater when completed (including the Lighthouse) will not exceed 1,300,0001. I have mentioned the exact expenditure upon the work because various erroneous statements have been put forth in print and otherwise upon the subject. In a recent publication it is said that three millions of money have been already expended, and but a: few days since it was stated in the course of the reading of a paper in this section that three such Breakwaters would cost six millions of money. The lighthouse tower intended to be erected on the western end of the Breakwater was commenced on the 22d of February last upon an inverted arch, which had been previously brought up from below low water of spring tides, and is now in progress. It is to be of granite 14 feet in diatheter in the clear, and the centre of the light will be 55 feet from the top of the Breakwater. This lighthouse, when completed, will supersede the light vessel now moored ut the west end of the Breakwater, where it was stationed in 1813, since which time, al though strongly fastened, it has more than once broken adrift. Having now briefly noticed some of the leading points in the progress of the stone Breakwater, I will refer to some of the Breakwaters which, prior to its commencement, were proposed to be constructed of other materials. One of these was to, be of cast iron, proposed by an officer of the Royal Navy in 1804. Others, two of stone and one of wood, were proposed in dpe l o B er iip l lsst l tiinls b a: : 6 - ioco p f l fole r re . l, mt7 B i e ni; i n oe t la ii t a :nh s 10, fl of oat H vaton i o s tdod w tboo o ft : b d a3e e o n i)af l ie l de re t a oin. triangularb-arNteveoairtrdhtirrhaoatiashl ne t od ( rf ) expense tar, and ne a lne n sa d en s o o t ofhfes such cr cohhnaeapt cleans.ar, gloatingand to be held in their places the and Government fastenings, i‘ ia i n r t . Breakwater,olßBoelni 2 h salm. including estimated lilo t o h r his plan chains nintosbut tilheey submitted neverthe less determined upon the construction of a stone Break water. It is clear, then, that plans for iron and wooden, as well as for stone Breakwaters for the protection of Plymouth Sound, were submitted to the Government of the day prior to the commencement of the present one, although it has been stated that had a plan for a wooden Breakwater been submitted to the Government a great saving to the country might have been effected. Thirty years have since elapsed, and my own opinion is now, as IiATTON-GARDEN. On Wednesday Agnes Lovell alias Danks, a gipsy, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Combe, charged by Jane Medlar, a simple looking young woman, servant to Mr. John Hughes, of No. 12, Heathcote-street, Gray's Inn road, with having obtained, under false pretences, IL 4s. 6d.,' and various articles of wearing apparel, under the following circumstances : A few days ago the prisoner knocked at the door, and, being answered by witness; she inquired whether she had any broken glass or old clothes to sell, and being an swered in the negative she asked witness whether she would wish to have her fortune told. She said she had no objection, but her master being at home she suggested that the prisoner should call in an hour, which she did, when she (the prisoner) said, " Will you trust me with qcl. tied up in the corner of a handkerchief ?" Witness tied a six pence in the corner of a handkerchief, when the prisoner required to be " palmed" with another shil ling, which she (witness) gave her. She then examined witness's hand, and told her that a short time ago she had lent a fair young man three sovereigns, and in two or three days she would see him and he would return them. The prisoner said, " You must place implicit Confidence in me, and I will tell you the truth." Witness thought it very extraordinary, as a few days previously she had lent a fair young man three sovereigns. She then predicted that in a very short time she would meet with a young man of fair complexion, of very good prospects, to whom she would be married, but it was necessary that she should use her usual charm, and she would require of her 1/. 4s. 6d., which witness gave her, and she left the house, saying that she would call again and let her know the result of her powers. She subsequently called and informed her that, in order to give effect to the " spell," she would require some of her wearing apparel to bury in the earth for some time before the desired effect would occur, and the whole of them and her money would be ultimately restored to her. 'Witness haaded her her shawl, a mousselain-de-laine dress, a pair of bracelets, and other articles, when the prison e r s aid th a t she could not accomplish the 1" charm" without burying a shift with them, which witness gave her, and she saw no more of her until Tuesday last, when she saw her in the street and gave her into custody. The prisoner declared that she was not the person, and never saw the prosecutrix before in all her life. The prisoner begged hard for mercy, but she was &un initted to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for three months, with instructions to the officers to trace, if possible, the prosecutor's property, and restore it to her. Robert a:Ay d, a sturdy-looking fellow, was placed at the bar, charged by William Moore, 224, N. division, with having assaulted and wounded him, and being con cerned, with others, in an attempt to drown him. _ The prosecutor being sworn, stated that on Morday afternoon last he received.information that a prize-fight was going forward in Pocock 's-fields, Islington. lib pro ceeded to the spot, and found about 300 poof,ons, and two men stripped to fight. He ente,rod ,the and apprehended one of the combatant*, when a cry of "Rescue, kill that ," was immedlatelfy raised; on which the prisoner rushed upon him, struck him seve ral times, and witness was knocked down and beaten by the crowd who surrounded him, in a violent manner. ff Witness took out his sta to defend himself, when the prisoner seized hold of it, and taking a knife from his pocket he cut the string twisted round his (witness's) wrist, and wounded his arm severely ; the mob then dragged him a considerable distance, the prisoner being the ringleader, with a shout to " drown the --. pitch him into The river." The witness was so dreadfully punished, that he gave his evidence with much difficulty. The prisoner denied the charge. _ _ Mr•. (2omir; said, as he could not inflict' tin adequate punishment upon the prisoner. he would commit him to New ate for trial. .tV NI DIOT'S HAP PI N Ess.--Barnahv's -en joyments were to walk and run, and leap, till he w•aa tired; then to lie down in the long grass, or by the grow ing corn. or in the shade of some tall tree, looking upward at the light clouds as they floated over the blue sur face of the sky, and listening to the lark as she poured out her brilliant song. , There were wild flowers to pluck—the bright red poppy, the gentle harebell, the cowslip, and the rose. There were birds to watch ; fish ; ants ; worms ; hares or rabbits, as they dashed across the distant pathway in the wood, and so were gone ; millions of living things to have an interest in, and lie in wait for, and clap hands and shtlut in memory of, when they had disappeared. In default of these, or when they wearied, there was the merry sunlight to hunt out, as it crept in aslant through leaves and boughs of trees, and hid far down—deep, deep, in hollow places—like a Silver pool, where nodding branches seemed to bathe and sport ; sweet scents of summer air breath ing over fields of beans or clover ; the perfume of wet leaves or moss ; the life of waving trees, and shadows always changing. When these or any of them tired, or in excess of pleasing tempted him to shut his eyes, there was slumber in the midst of all these soft delights, with the gentle wind murmuring like music in his ears, uud everything around melting into one delicious dream. —Bo:. CORN DEALERS.—The Tory Journals have republished the case of a man who was convicted of an e attempt at Cambridge, in the year 1741 , to raise the price of corn. They call the article punishment of Corn-jobbers. Do they mean, then, to reviv e th punishment for forestalling and regrating ! Or, do they mean to confine the Corn-trade, as well as the g row i ng of corn, to the hands of the rent - owners, itna their depen dent tenants at will ?
