HYDROPHOBIA. Another painful case of this horrible malady bas been c ommun i cate d to us. About a fortnight since II respectable grazier, named Ford, residing a short distance from Ifoxton, having been de layed in town until a late hour, was unwilling to disturb his fowily ; and, in order to rouse the servants, is Ito slept in a kitchen at the rear, he ciaiubered over the yard wall, and the instant he sprang down he was seized by an immense dog, which ho had but lately received from a friend in sutiolk, and which consequently had but little knowledge of its new master. Mr. F. struggled, hut the dog still kept fast hold of the shoulder, on which it originally fixed ; at length repeated cries for help b roug h t out t h e h er d sma n and tAte animal was taken off, but not until the arm was lacerated in a dreadful manner. From the report of the herdsman and others, serious ap- Prebensions were entertained that the dog was at the time under the influence of madness, as it had betrayed, for it day or two previously, several of those symptoms which indicate the approach of that horrid waled v ; the animal Was therefore deAtroyed. On the day after receiving the bites, F. bad the parts cut out and the wounds cauterized, Gut unfortunately the virus had com -I"use"." to the upper part of the arm, which l ' w ellod to an excessive size. Medical advice was Immediately had, and immediate amputation .of th e limb being considered the only possible mean! of saving life, the sufferer was compelled to submit to the dreadful a l ternat i ve . Th e ope n' lion was successfully performed, and the patient " 11 0 w in a f a i r way of recovery, though the me dicalgelllit'tnell who were present at the opera !ion averred that the delay of another day, per -I►sl).4.less, would have rendered every effort un "lihng• So much for promptitude in those Nets Times.) reamly for this dreadful malady is an muticed in a communication to the Editor of the Norjii lk Chronicle, of ss Lich We subjoin a copy:— " 4 11t-1 beg to state through the medium of your Journal, that a successful remedy may be found for the bite of a rabid animal in the uNe of the fluid extract of lead. As hydropho !ii%'sya disease specifically of the nervous system, I was led to ! sz eii e that preparations of that mineral, cautiousl adminis '., etl, would have the e ff ect of subduing the inord in ate irrita tion of the nerves , and thus remove the furious excitability t. licit occasions those violent spasmodic contractions of the gla ir which threaten immediate suffocation, and which alone causes the abhorrence of liquids. I adopted the solution of lead as the roost concentrated preparation, and I exhibited it with complete success in a confirmed case of hydrophobia in a person of the I ?atne of Roberta, residing in Hatfield -street, Ooswell-street, London. On the third day after the symptoms became appa. rat, paralysis of the lower extremities ensued, and from that Poried the hydrophobic madness ceased, and the patient speedily recovered. The solution of lead was given in doses of 40 drops very fou r h ours on a lump of sugar. The patient was of robust habit, and aged 42 years. " I am, Sir ' etc.._ " A RNA U. THOS.

TII UNDER; STORM AT QUEBEC. &diva of a Letter from an Officer at quebec, to his Friend in Nottingham, dated June IJ, 1824 : " On the 9th we had a violent storm of thunder and light- . sting, and I was driven for shelter into a door-way of the Inatket-place.

This agreeable dramatic Piece is so well sepport ed by the two chief performers, BARTLEY and MISS KELLY, that it is likely to be come one of the chief favourites of the sea son. Nourma is an improvement upon Roxu• lana, possessing the spirit of that character, but blended with the most amiable qualities and the most benevolent intentions. It is exactly adapted to the talents of Miss KELLY, from whom it receives all possible justice. The good sense and manly feeling of Ilmurt.xY also affords all requisite importance to the Caliph. THE LATE QUEEN or PRUSSIA.--A Lettev, dated Charlottenburg, July 20, published in the last Hamburgh Papers, says—" It would seem that with each revolving year there is a decided increase in the number of those who come to the Mausoleum at Charlottenburg, to do homage to the memory of her late Most Gracious Majesty of PRUSSIA. Yesterday was the anniversary of the demise of this most excellent Princess : the melancholy event was communicated accordingly here. We most assuredly report within the truth when we say, that above 3,000 carriages and upwards of 20,000 individuals visited Charlotten burg. Early in the morning their Royal High nesses the Crown Prince and the Crown Prin • cesses (who at present occupy the chambers of Frederick the Great at Sans Souci) with the other Princes and the Princess Louisa,. visited the sacred resting place of the Queen's remains.— Their affecting deportment was such as seemed to say—Mdst amiable' of thy sex,—to thy children ever will thy memory be most dear. The King of SWEDLN has lately received from the well-known IsMAEL GIBRALTAR, in Egypt, a present of a most valeable Arabian stone, with a Turkish sabre, richly mounted in gold, and orna mented with diamonds. A COUNTRY CRICKET MATCH.—IO that in imitable work, Our Village, by Miss MITFORD, among numerous other faithful pictures of rural life, is an admirable sketch under the above title—a sketch, although luxuriantly coloured, possessing a degree of truth and keeping appa rent to all who have either participated in the soul-enlivening exercise, or watched the efforts of the contending parties. " Who would think," exclaims the author, after describing the pleasur able emotions of the winners at the conclusion of the game, " that a little bit of l eather and two pieces of wood had such a delightful power ?" None, indeed, but those.who had ocular demon stration of it ; and yet we " doubt (to quote the anthor's words again) if there be any scene in the world more animating or delightful than a cricket match." THE VICTORY, LORD NELSON'S FLAG-SHIP. This fine vessel, which has been laid up in or dinary for seven years at Portsmouth, is now fit ting up in ,that harbour as a guard-ship, in place of the Queen Charlotte. It will be gratifying to the honest national pride of our readers to know, that the strongest interest is excited in every Englishman visiting Portsmouth with regard' to this ship, and that numbers eagerly resort to it to behold the spot on n hich the illustrious Milo of TRAFALGAR received his last wound. It is one of those spots over which patriotism delights to pause, because it revives all those sympathies on winch our remembrance loves to rest. These truly British feeling; are not only gratified, but are met with a congenial and correspondent warmth by the officers on hoard, whose courtesy is manifested in a most distinguished manner towards all persons visiting the Victory. Ou the upper deck there is a cir cular brass plate, of very small dimensions, to mark where N KLSO N felt I—a spot over which, to the mental eye, GLou - r " Suspends her halo crown of silver light," and on which the animated beholder seems to stand as upon sacred ground, while he reads that memorable sentence which is here inscribed, and which is so indeliby engraved on the memory of his countrymen, as to have become one of th.e elementary admonitions to the guardians of pub- lie freedom in every nation-L" EsaLANu Ex- PICTS VYEILY li.ir TO DO 1113 DUTY." All the enthusiastic feelings of the gallant men I who foaght and died with Lord Nelson at Tra falgar seem to be infused into the: ship's company •f the Victory, many of whom could only know of them, that " They were, and are not," nor the great Commander himself bnt by the report of his glorious achievements. The com mon sailors now on board speak of him but as " Mid great man," while they anxiously point out the fatal place where he gave his last order, re sianedly suffered amputation, and triumphantly breathed his last. EVell the cabin sr here he slept still appears to be no object of their heartfelt veneration. It is indeed impossible to visit the Victory at this moment without having our best national feelings strongly called forth, and instinctively exclaiming, us if his awful form Were present— " BRITONS are Bat still, and ne'er will yield That Charter which thy patriot blood has sealed." We seem inspired with the full energy of that resolve which Englishmen should never forget— TO REYER6 TIIE RIGHTS OF EVERY trrifeut NA. TION, 111111 TO VINDICATE THEIR OWN. The crowds which throng to view the VICTORY testify the veneration with which the memory of NELSON will go down to unborn ages, and evince thut—to use the words of his gallant friend and second iu command—" his name will be kn. mortal."

'This regiment has served on the Peninsula, and highly distinguished itself at Waterloo, for which those who survived the day now wear the usual medals. They are a body of very tine men.

It was so sudden and violent that no person dared approach him.

These men, who fought for fifty sovereigns at Hive Com mon, Essex, at the beginning of July, met again for a like stun yesterday morning, at Irealifieltl, Epping Forrest, adjourn ment, from the preceding ;lay. In the tint battle, Want , t he Nottingham butcher, was hit out of time by a chance blow , after twenty-two minutes desperate fighting . 'I he same seconds acted for the men as upon the former occasion. The ring was eighteen feet only. n the first round, Want was floored at rushing in by a well. intentioned hit, which told above the mark, and was of but little use. 2. Both.advanced to each other's heads, and uumuzzled with much determination. Severe exchanges took place in the rally, which was put an end to by the Bishop's nabbing a chatter cross buttock. Five to four on the butcher. 3. Harris was a bit upon the piping order, but superior fight ing kept the butcher for a time away ; but the give and take game was soon put into action again, until the claret flew most merrilly. Both went down weak, and the butcher's right ogle was queered. 4. hero the seconds had a round over a dispute, and the four were fighting together,. and it was altogeth er a Welch main.— The men in real action had a temporary cessation of hostilities until the butcher's second was bled and floored. S. The ring was well crimsoned with a general row, and Harris went down with a heavy round right-handed blow on the jugular, and it operated like an metic in facing his ad versary in the next round. 6. FroM this chance hit, the head and stomach were disor dered in the four following rounds, and Want led with much gaiety until the 11th, when he was floored. 12. A very brave fighting round, and same smashing blows were exchanged, Hari* was thrown again heavily on the back of his head, and it was evident nothing but a slice of luck would avail him. It was a horse to a hen in the three follow ing rounds, and in the 17th he got a settler, after 25 minutes of brave fighting. This battle wax another instance of a man neglecting hint self in training, by which Harris lost this battle in holding an adversary of superior weight too cheap, and in fancying him self a better fighter without reserving his strength to last. The Loan MAyoa. yesterday sent an order to the individuals who took the contract for paving the city, and who has crowded Fleet-street with stones, commanding that the ' nuisance he immediately removed • and a d ding , that it the order be not immediately complied with, the city officers shall have them removed, and the City bolicitor shall be forthwith direct ed to prosecute the Contractor.

COURT OF CHANCPAT—('ar; DAY.) DORBENY f. DORDENT: Mr. HEAL' said, lie had to call the attential of his Lordship to this case, under circumstances of rather an extraordinary nature. The case was originally heard by the Vice-Chancellor, wh., decreed that a sum of between two and three hundred pounds should be paid into Court by his (Mr. Heald's) client, but behind the back of that gentleman a fresh motion was made, and an order obtained for the payment into Court of no less than 8501. Under that order an execution had issued, and the parties were now ahout to carry it into effect. Under these circumstances, he was instructed to pray his Lordship to grant an injunction to restrain them.

ILL TREATMENT OF CIIILDR,EN. --- Yesterday morning a concourse of persons a s. sembled in Monmouth-street, St. Giles's, and the neighbour. hood in•afew minutes presented a scene of confusion scarcely over witnessed, in consequence of a report in general circular Lion that a woman living in Monmouth-street, and occupying a second floor therein, who had for some time past carried on 4 school for children, and took others in at num., had actually starved them, and that one of the infants was then lying dead. This alarm soon spread itself among the inhabitants, and the house was quickly surrounded by hundreds of people who ap peared very clamorous. Many seemed determined to enter Ow premises' and ascertain the fate of the little sufferers, while others were for dragging the wretch out and tearing her to pieces. The confusion that prevailed was so serious, and murder being anti. dilated, the parish officers of St. Giles were sent for, when the assistant overseer, Mr. Brigg, attended by Bowers and Green, the beadles, speedily arrived on the spot, and after understanding the nature of the affray, they proceeded to the apartments oc cupied by the woman : on entering winch they observed seve, rat little children literally naked, in a state of starvation, lace rated from head to foot through violent ill usage, and completely covered with loathsome disease. The officers, viewing the at. . . . tuation of the place, and truly distressing affliction of the chil dren, immediately procured a coach, and they, with their brutal mistress, were conveyed to Marlborough-street, amidst the exe crations of the populace, who would - have torn the wretch to pieces but for the interference of the officers. At one o'clock the case was called on before Mr. Coma :el', the sitting Magistrate, and the prisoner gave her name Vathe.. rine Irwin, but admitted that she also went by the name of Wicks. Four little infants, from two to five years old, thorn entered the Justice-room, and a more appalling sight was never witnessed—they were literally in nakedness, starvation was in their countenances, and they were completely covered with disease. _ _ The investigation commenced by the mother of two of the infant sufferers, James, four years, and Mary Ann Rodwell, two years and a quarter old. Witness did not list with her husband ; she received 12s. a week from him. The two children in May last were put into the prisoner's care, they were then healthy. About five weeks since she came to town und took her children away. She also learnt that her husband co. habited with the prisoner ; her infants were literally et:ivied and dying, one of the toes of her daughter had been cut off. On its being intimated to the Magistrate that an infant, only six weeks old, had died from want since they had left the house, Mr. CONANT dispatched an officer to the house, who brought away the infant : it was not dead, but in a dying state, and the. Magistrate instantly ordered it to the work-house. The prisoner's daughter was examined as to her knOwledge of the cruelties inflicted upon the children, and who the parents were of two unknown, viz.:—Henry Hunt, and Frederick Hutchinson, apparently about four years old. She, however, denied all knowledge of brutality, nor would she know the parents, but the money was regularly sent by the children's friends for their maintenance. The daughter seemed as hard. ened as her mother in cruelty. Rodwell, the husband of the first witness, denied Cohabiting with the prisoner, but admitted he frequently visited her. Charles Otter, a little boy, one of the boarders, said, that Mr. Rodwell repeatedly came to his mistress, and staid all night in the same room with her; he left in the morning. His governess beat Henry Hunt on Thursday night with a cane until she broke it. ' The prisoner's daughter also beat him is the afternoon. She always beat them with her double fist. Several witnesses bore testimony to the good health of a e children when first nit into the prisoner's care. Mr. CostaNr, ad p dressing !anise! fto the prisoner, 'mid. it was fortunate that none of the infants had died in consequence of such ill usage, or else she must have answered for it elsewhere. llowever, a case of assault had been distinctly proved against both the mother and daughter, and he was bound to commit them. lie, however, would admit them to good bail, giving forty-eight hours' notice. The case occupied the attention of the Magistrate until nearly five o'clock. CO RONF.RN I NQU EST. --Yesterday an adjourned Inquest was held on the body of John Simpkins, aged 73. It , appeared from the testimony of several witnesses, that the de ceased cohabited with a woman of the name of Ann Sit mks. They lived in White Lion-court, Rosemary-lane, and on .tion day evening she went down the lane, when she watt attacked by a woman named Harris, who knocked her down,kicked and jurn p ed upon her, and exclaimed, that if she bad the old man down she would murder, ; ' rd e r, ,Lt w m e p n t h i out,s g u t a s n o d u t fi . n d ' i r n l g t e s d h e c a e n a k s s e d ea on t r i i l n e g r t a h v e e c n r i r e n o t f . asked who had struck his wife ? upon which Hams flew at him, struck him in the stomach, and he fell to the groUnd. She then dragged him some distance by the legs, kicked him; and jumped upon him, but ha was at length taken away. The unfortunate man was carried home, where he died on Wednes day last. The Conner observed, that if there had been malice aforethought, there would he a capital charge, but here thee, apppeared to be no such thing ; the Jury, therefore, returned a verdict of" Manslaughter" against Harris.
