The Nuremberg correspondent of the Qualidienne mentions, as one of the reports arising out of the Congress of Johannisberg, that in the event of the Emperor of the Brt .Azte.s not complying with certain aemands, troops will be embarked for the New World " with C r without the consent of England," and also, that a squadron is to leave a port. of the North, and to proceed to Cadiz, where it will he at the disposal of the King ° f SPAIN. 'These rumours are of course not e ntitled to much consideration, though it is cer tainly somewhat singular that an article from Madrid in the Pilote also affirms that Russia has "de so offer of 1(30,000 men to Spain for the 4 " cl) ntitlest Of her South A mer i can C o l on i es .— The emperor A LEX kNDER, as we have more than ° nee stated, is personally favourable to the maintenance of peace ; but there is no saying h ow far he may h ave been prevailed upon by 4itnificant hints, as well as by persuasion, to i „ -yeld to the wishes of some of the personages by N hfun h e is surrounded. A Russian Czar, though It Despotic Monarch, is not much more of a free a geat than an Eastern Sultan, and is, like the latter, s ometimes obli ge d t o s h ape hi s con d uct, not a ccordin g to his own wishes, but according to th ose of the Persons upon whose fidelity depends Lit awn safety. 'Pte ide a is pretty generally entertained that p rance is really assimil a ti ng her foreign policy de to that of England, VI of and that the triumph of M.

Charleston Papers have arrived to the 4th ult. The following is the only . article which we find in the worth extractinz CHARLESTON, Jui.Y 2.—Our city has for some days past suffered under an intenseness and continuation of heat seldom or ever experienced here before. IVe have endured almost literally an atmosphere of fire. Several valuable lives have fallen *Actin* to the excessive warmth. New Brunswick Papers have Rise arrived to the 30th of June, and Quebec Papers to the 6th ultimo. The melting of the snow and incessant rains from. the 24th to the 27th June, caused the river Gouffre, which passes through the parish of St. Paul's Bay, to rise rapidly to an unprecedented height, and it swept off twelve dwelling houses, twenty other buildings, and forty saw mills. The total destruction of pro perty is estimated at'2,6001. THE ALGERUNES. (Front the Flanipshire Telegraph.) We' lately adverted to the accounts received from the Mediterranean, by which it appeared that the boats of bis Majesty's ship Naiad, Captain the lion. Robert Spencer, had succeeded in destroying an Algerine vessel of war, under the batteries of Bona. We are happy to have it in our power to give now a more detailed account of this event, written by an officer on the spot. The public in general are too apt to under *eine a bloodless enterprise, and to conceive that where on lives are lost; there cannot have been much resistance. Weare per suadekhowever, that every reader who peruses the following account will admit that, not only the success of the measuris but the safe return of the .gallant officers anti . men employed.; are owing to the judgment with which the whole watt-planned, as well as to the discretion and spirit displayed in the execution ; and that any defect in the one or the other would have proved fatal to.the enterprise, and destructive of numberless saluable lives. In thes6 " piping times of peace," it is very gratifying to see that the 'judgment and courage of our officers and men arc as true as ever ; not that we could ever doubt Ortheir being so, but it is pleasing to see it so nobly illustrated. The writer observes— " Ife:anchored after dark pretty close. oft the town, and the boats were sent away under command of Lieut. Quin. Owing to the d ar k ness, and to the boats having taken a circuitous route, they did not reach the town unt il late,• and then got on board a large 10-gun brig of war ; they soon set her in a blaze. At day-light sh e h a d b urne d to the water's edge, she soon blew uiv and sunk in deep water, so that by seven in the morning there was no vestige of her left in sight. She was strongly moor ed head andlitern with chains, at the distance of 20 yards from the fortreas, on which were mounted 40 pieces ofcannon, none of which were further than canniuer range, and some within her own length. The garrison consisted of 400 men, who were station ed with musquctry at the embrasures, which looked down on the brig's decks : in short, the position was one of extraordi nary strength. Nevertheless, the good order and regularity of our men, and the judicious manner in which the approach was made, were such, that they got alongside, or nearly so, upper. ceived ; not a whisper was heard till the enemy's lirst discharge' of grape shot, which was answered by three cheers. A terrible fire was fr om this moment k e pt u p, but ieotenrint Quin and his gallant companions did not leave her till she was fairly on fire fore and aft, and so hot that they were obliged to re turn to the boats. Not one was killed, and only a few slightly hurt. Strict orders were given by Capt. Spencer, who suspected her situation to be what it proved, not to attempt bringing out the vessel ; and it was fortunate that his orders on this point were imperative, since, had any discretion been left, an en deavour to cut Iter out would have been made, which, considering the manner in which she was secured to the walls by chains, must have led to the useless destruction of many va luable lives. The brig was entirely empty, and in consequence floated so high out of the water that she was boarded with dif ficulty ; but every thing was so well arranged previously, that no confusion took place, and in all its parts no enterprise could ever have been more complete and satisfactory In its result." FRIGHTFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. . - It is with extreme feelings of regret we have this week to detail the particulars of a third case of hydro phobia which has occurred in Stockport, and it is the more dis tressing because an interval of between seven and eight months has elapsed since the unfortunate sufferer was bitten, too evi dent a proof of the uncertain effects of • this horrible malady.- . - The following we have collected from a gentleman who was an eye-witness to his situation:— JOSEPH BEsisrETT, a cotton spinner, 15 years of age, on the 18th of January, was severely bitten in the arm by a dog supposed to be going mad, at the time that he was assisting ano ther man to destroy it. He went to a druggist in the town,who administered to 'him what he termed the' dose, which he took, and had his arm dressed. After the wound had healed, and up to the commencement of the hydrophobical symptoms, he fre quently complained of pain in the bitten part. On Monday morning last he remarked to a friend that he had great pain in his arm, and was very poorly of himself. Ile was observed by his neighbours to appear very languid and dejected all the day. His night was restless mid his mind much perturbed.— On Cthe Tuesday morning slight convulsive motions came on, which continued to increase ; at three in the afternoon they werevery viohmt, and so continued for some hours; he com plained of great tightness in the breast and neck all the morning, and at four in the afternoon he was prevailed upon to take some fluid as medicine. The relief which. lie was promised to experience from swallowing repeated. quantities determin ed him to use every possible exertion, but those exertion's were piteously distressing. The liquid was first presented to him in a cup, which he convulsively gnashed his teeth into, and broke to pieces. After swallowing some fluid, he became sick, and vomited a large quantity of frothy fluid. Ills countenance was expressive of as extreme anguish as it is possible to conceive. The mind was perfectly rational, but no doubt under acute and indescribable suffaing. He most plaintively implored, the by standers to pray for him, and in the intervals between the violent paroxysms frequently pointed to the affected arm. He languished until two in the morning, and expired. Thus has Iprematurely perished a useful member of society the prime of ife, leaving a widow in a pregnant state, and a l arge f am ily o f 6 children, unprovided fur and unprotected. The situation of the widow is truly distressing, and deserving the sympathy of the humane and benevolent. We are requested to state this, and to solicit on her behalf, any trifling pecuniary assistance; those who may favour the family with such relief, may be assured that their bounty has been well bestowed. We are happy to find that the poor girl at Poynton, who, it was apprehensive, was labouring under the symptoms of hydrophobia from the bite of a dog ten weeks since, is in a great measure recovered, her affliction being merely it of a nervous irritation, .arising most probably from the dread of her situation..-..-(Stockport Adz:el-IL:en) Saturday the Earlaod_Countess of LtvERPOOL left Coombe Wood for Widmer Castle.

B.—The -alterations at the Castle havehitherto, as we stated some time since, been con fined to the pulling down some of the principal buildings which were obstructions to the execution of the new and improved plan. This part of the undertaking has, how ever, nearly been completed ; and, before the expiration of the next 'week, the new works will have commenced on a very extended scale. The Round Tower (or Middle. Keep, as it is wined in Ancient Records), is to be entirely de tached frorn - the hnrrounding.buildtrtge.; its& instead of the dwarf brick . wall, with which it is at present partly atm rounded, it is, to be entirely grleompto.oul with a magnificent rampart of stone, no improvenlent winch has, for years past, suggested itself to every enlightened visitant of the Castle, but which it was reserved fin-411e tasteful . era of our present SovE REIGN to carry into effect. The round French windows in the body of the Tower, together with other part s of t h e C ast l e , which were introduced by CHARLES 11., in compliance with the ruling fashion of his age, but which are by no means in unison with the other parts of this majestic edifice, are to be replaced by the original (gothic. The preparations for the foundation of the new Tower, which is to form one of the sides of the grand entrance, are also nearly completed. This his long been a desideratum. When the Allied Monarchs visited Windsor, in 1811, their Imperial Ilighnesses, the Emperors of It t! asta. and AUSTRIA, concurred in remarking the great addition to the view of the . Castle if the, entrance had Inert parallel to that unrivalled avenue, the Long Walk,, This suggestion is now about to be fully acted upon ; the grand entrance to the Castle will be under a magnificent archway, and the specta tor standing in the Court-yard (which is principally for this purpose to be lowered seven feet) will command a view of the whole of the Long Walk, and this will he terminated by a beautiful equestrian statue of his late revered MAJEST Y, with its pedestal fifty feet in height.—Another entrance is making to the Rudrangle through the curtain, connecting the Devil Tower.with . the Round Tower from the town of li'indsor.— The whole interior of the east and south sides, with the excep tion_of the staircases, and a part of the passages, has been re moved. The walls have generally been dearest of their wains cotting, and they probably now remain in a state in which they were previous to the repairs of the Castle by CrtAnt.ks 11. On the south side, in an apartment between the York and Augusta towers, the removal of the panelling has discovered some fresco paintings, evidently ofconsidembleanti9uit7,tliough not of very high excellence. One of the subjects is Cleopatra, and the other, we apprehend to be Tobit. The necessity of a complete repair of the Castle is now evident. The thnhers, in most instances, are much decayed, and the whole arrange nientslittle adapted to modern emnfort. The parapet of Au gusta tower, which was recently built, isrernoving, as will be the parapets of all the towers throughout this vast edifice, for the purpose of replacing then with battlements and corbels. By this alteration, not a chimney will present itself in the whole building. The foundations ar e p repar i ng f or t h e magn ifi cent corridor which is to run round; the eastern and southern sides within the quadrangle. There has; for some time past, been a rumour in circulation that his 111a3rsTy would he graciously to lay the first stone of, one of th e new buildings, to be called George the Fourth': Tower. • Although this report is not entirely destitute of foundation, we tire enabled to state, from authority, that nothing of this nature has, up to the present moment, been decided on ; and froth the advanced State of the preparations, it is most probable that the foundation stone will, be deposited without any extraordinary proCedure. All the req taking of this extensive nature , are now completed. Up temporary outbuildings, so essential to an under. wards of 200 workmen are at present emplpyed in the van ous departments, and a great addition to this number will be made in a short time. Iglu MAJESTY has not honoured the Castle with a visit since the commencement of the general al teration ; but reports of the progress of the works are, from time to time, presented to the Kiim by Mr. WYATT, who is indefatigable in his exertions. It is, however, expected that his MAJESTY will personally inspect the alterations that have been completed in the course of next week. Prince LEo six o'clock, Friday ev e ning, about roLn left Claremont in his travelling, carriage and four,-and proceeded to Cobham Ball, Kent, the seat of the Earl and Countess , of DARNLEY, on a visit to the Noble Earl and Countess. On Saturday his Royal Highness left Cobham Hall, attended by Baron STOCIMAIL and Sir HENRY SETON, for Ramsgate, on a visit to his Royal Sister, the Duchess of KENT, from which place the Prince goes to Dover} to embark for Calais, on his way to Paris, where there is a house taken to be in readiness for, the reception of the Prince, where his Royal Highness is expected to remain a short time, and thence to go on to Co burg,'on a visit to his mother and other relatives. ATTACK UPON MR. C. F. WILLIAMS, THE BARRISTER ON THE WESTERN CIRCUIT. In *our paper of Saturday we mentioned the attack which had been made on Thursday on Mr. C. F. Wm 1. la las, the Counsel, shortly after his leaving the Curt at Win cheater. The following particulars of the previous history of the person who committed this extraordinary outrage have since been furnished to us few years ago one Burridge, an attorney, residing at Lyme, in Dorsetahire, (but now living'at Southamp ton), consulted Mr. C. F. Williams professionally as to the ten dency of a certain letter which he (Burridge) had received. Mr. Williams perceived that there was great doubt as to the result, of an action, and advised the party not to notice the communi cation. However, Mr. Burridge did not adopt the advice, and when Mr Williams appeared at Dorchester in the course of the. circuit, he was surprised to have a brief put into his hand to conduct the case of the plaintiff, in an action founded on this letter. As soon as the first witness had given his testimony, the result was so very unfavourable to tlie plaintiff, that the Judge suggested the propriety of Mr. Burridge yielding to Mr, Williams's discretion. No more of the witnesses were called, and the plaintiff' was noetsuited. ;.Mr. Burridge took it into his head that Mr. Williams was to blame, and so deeply did he resent what he conceived to be the negligence of that gen . - denten, that he wrote scurrilous letters concerning him .to se- Neral barristers on circuit, and. even to the Learned Judges.— Of these letters Mr. Williams took not the least notice, and the spirit of resentment seemed to have subsided in Mr. Bur ridge's heart for a long interval, until about twelve months ago he received a most abusive letter, which he treated with the usual contempt. Mr.. Williams heard no more of him until he rushed upon him in the street Of Winch eater, on Thursday after noon. The Learned Gentleman was returning from Court, and was about stepping into his lodgings, in company with a brother barrister, when Burridge darted from an obscure alley, and struck Mr. Williams a violent blow on the left, cheek.— The shock was so great as to fordo the two gentlemen into the middle of the street. Mr. Williams, on recovering from hie surprise, turned round to see the person from whom this extra ordinary attack proceeded, and instantly recognized Burridge. A great number of persons had witnessed the assault, and were so struck with the conduct of this person that. they laid hold of Mai, and would have inflicted - inatant vengeance on him, had it net been that Mr. Williams" Intreated them not to ill-use him—" I see it is Burridge pray do not hurt him, he is not in his right mind." Burridge was, however, secured, and lodged in the city bridewell, where lie remained all night. The Quarter Sessions for the city of Winchester being holden on Friday (next morning), Jr. 3 C. F. Williams appeared in -Court, for the purpose of prosecuting John Poble 13urridge, attorney. The Court was crowded to excess, and most of the western circuit were present. The Mayor, Recorder, and Aidennen'sat on the bench. The Recordership of Winchester is at present filled by Mr. Philip Williams, a Member of the liar. I m'ch 4 : p i c it t a n t i e e d n't a was nd t w h a e s n arleloadw,edantdo Il h i a r t . -e i a lu s rr ea k t ige wit w h a in s ca th l e led ba o r n . Mr. Burridge, on b e i ng b roug h t up to Court, appeared very Burridge--Am to lead. I to be tried new ? RECOADER—Vou are in the profession, and ought to know that you have the option of traversing it to the next session. Mr. Burridge then pleaded " not guilty," but said, " Though I am unpraa,ared to take my trial at the present sessions, I think I am at liberty to mention some circumstances expla natory of the motives which induced mo to do what I have done. I wish now to state that . my feelings of revenge are satis fied, and I harbour no hostility towards Mr. Williams." RECORDER—This language is highly unbecoming. The word " revenge" is very improper to be addressed to the Court. As you have the option of postponing your trial until next Ses sions, the only thing that remains for us to do is to order you to find bail for yOur appearance at the Sessions. Mr. C. F. Williams said that he was far from wishing to act harshly towards the defendant, as he certainly entertained no feeling towards him Out that of compassion and forgiveness.— nut it was obvious to the Court that, in the interval, whilst Mr.. Burridge was at large, he (Mr. Williams) was in con siderable personal danger. It became him, therefore, to take those steps for his security which the law left open to him, and he hoped the Court would allow him to exhibit articles of the peace against Mr. Burridge. The articles of the peace were then read. They stet forth that the deponent, C. F. Williams, Esq., barrister-at-law, had at various times received certain abusive and threatening letters, and that on Thursday last he had, without provocation, rushed upon him in the street, and struck him a violent blow on the cheek ; that he was in apprehension, from this circumstance, as well .as from the repeated declarations in his letters, that the defendant intended him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Williams was then sworn to the contents of the articles .of the peace. The Rxconnza then stated to Mr. Burridge, that it was ne cessary for him to procure bail, not only to answer for the assault, t h e : i n t, but to keep . the peace towards Mr. Williams. Burridge said he was perfectly unprepared to do so. Ile had no answer to make at nreaent. begiled, however, to be i.alliationof il l i ti n s i c iu cnd an u .o c n t. t k e t t i l it t , o ; bu u t make t c a r : explanation t a r t o i t c: ir n in circumstances .11e was ready to admit that he was not justified in eorntnitting of his fault. The defendant had previously tendered a letter, exculpatory of his conduct, which was received by the clerk, but not allow: ed to be read. The IlEcQiirmit —At present we arc not in a situation to hear any statement from you. if you persist in your traverse to the indictment, you will have the opportunity of making every necessary representation to the Court and Jury that shall try you. We can now hear nothing from you, unless you have something to urge that may induce Mr. Williams to with draw this application Our course is marked out. The Learn ed Gentleman has, in the ordinary way, exhibited articles of the peace against you, and you are bound to provide sureties and enter into your own recognizance. The sureties required ure two in 100/. each, and yourself in 2001. If you are unpre pared to give those securities now, you can do so at any rime. The Mayor will take them at a short notice, but until they are provided you must stand committed. The jailer shall be directed to procure you every comfortable accommodation. Several gentlemen who were acquainted with the defendant and thinking they possessed influence over him, besought him not to render any further proceedings ne cessary ; t h at i t was in his power to end the affair amicably ; that he had dono wrong, and could only repair his error anti serve himself by appealing to the tenderness of the Court and the prosecutor. At length Alr. Minchin (the Attorney, who had been in con sultation with the defendant) intimated to the Court that Al r. Burridge had become sensible of his misconduct, and was anxious to do every thing in his power to obtain the forgiveness of the prosecutor. He was now ready to withdraw his plea of " not guilty," and plead " guilty" to the indictment. The ItEconDr it said it would be necessary for Mr. Bur ridge, at all events, to provide bail. Mr. Burridge rerresentell the difficulties he laboured under in being obliged to procure the necessary sureties. Mr. C. F. Williams said, that he was exturtiely happy' at finding that the defendant had seen the impropriety of his con duct. '" As I am," sad he, "perfectly unconscious of having ever merited the slightest unkind feeling from Mr. Burridge, ' but, on the contrary, being convinced that I acted on the best judgment I could form, entirely for his interest, I think he must o sensible how unjustly he has dealt the situation in w hi c h h e i s p l ace d, an d how ar for "him to procure sure ti es .
