I never knew that he kept company with any other woman, or that a child bad been fathered on him. He used to stop with me till ten or eleven o'clock. We never walked out together. On the Bth of January none but my sister Betsy was up ; we were all in the room together,and the defendant begged Betsy to leave, that we might have a little discourse; she was away about ten minutes.

" We observed two women looking out of a balcony, and earnestly beckoning to us. We were the more surprised at their appearance, as we believed that the Mahometan women of the Caucasus, like those of Persia, were strictly con fined to the interior of their houses, or that, at all events, they never went unveiled, a custom which we found was not general among the in habitants of the Caucasus. We, however, en tered the house, and saw in the Court two Rus sian grenadiers, who, by a mistake of their cor poral, had taken their quarters here, and whose presence was the cause of the inquietude mani fested by the two ladies, who, with an old man, were the only inhabitants of the house. Whilst the soldiers were explaining these things to us, they appeared at the top of the stairs, and again renewed their invitation by violent gesticulations. On a nearer approach, we guessed by their age that they were mother and daughter. The for mer, wiwstill-preserved much of the freshness and beauty of youth, wore very wide trowsers, a short tunic, and a veil, which fell in graceful folds on her back, while round her neck she had some valuable jewels, though badly mounted. With respect to the daughter, who was scarcely fifteen years of age, she was so extraordinarily beautiful, that both my companion and myself remained awhile motionless, and struck with ad miration. Never in my life have I seen a more perfect form. Her dress consisted of a short white tunic ahnost transparent, fastened only at the throat by a clasp. A veil, negligently thrown over one shoulder, permitted part of her beautiful ebony tresses to be seen. Her trowsers were of an extremely fine tissue, and her socks of the most delicate workmanship. The old man re ceived us in a room adjoining the staircase : he was seated on the carpet, smoking a small pipe, according to the custom of the inhabitants of the Caucasus, who cultivate tobacco. He made re peated signs to us to sit down, that is to say, in the Asiatic manner, a posture extremely incon venient for those who like ourselves wore long and tight trowsers, whilst the two beautiful wo men on their side earnestly seconded his request. We complied with it, though it was the first time that either of us had made the essay. The ladies keying left the room for a moment, returned with a salver of dried fruits, and a beverage made of sugar and milk ; but I was so much engaged in admiring their personal attractions, that I paid but little attention to their presents. It appeared to me an inconceivable caprice of nature to have produced such prodigies of perfection amidst such a rude and barbarous people, who value their women less than their stirrups. My com panion, who like myself was obliged to accept of their refreshments, remarked to me, whilst the old man was conversing with them, what cele brity a woman so transcendently beautiful as the daughter was would acquire in any of the capitals of Europe, had she but received the benefits of a suitable education."— Van Halfn's Narrative.

Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 50/. Jonathan Howarth was indicted for killing and slaying Paul Thompson, at Manchester, on the 23d of July ; and George Howarth, his father, and George Howarth, his brother, were indicted for aiding and abetting him. Francis Smith said, he saw Jonathan Howarth and Thompson strip in a ring and shake hands. They said they would have a fair fight. Howarth, the father, was lying on the grass, but he rose after they had a few rounds, and gave his son some water out of a bottle. He did this twice, and then lay down again. The fight lasted more tLui an hour, and Jonathan gave in. Thompson seemed very stout for two minutes after the fight; he then fell sick, and. was taken home. Ho then grew a little better, Avotald.get something to drink, and went out, but returned home, saying he was ashamed to be seen with his face in such a state. He shortly after became stupified, and witness fetched a doctor to him, but he died in an hour. Jonathan Howarth was the most beaten of the two. The fight was fair ; it was not up and down. Francis Euston said, the deceased was at his shop at Manchester on the 23d of July last, and Jona than Howarth came and hallooed, " Come out, Paul Thompson—half a gallon to a quart for the first knock down, or the first blood." Witness went to the fight, which took place half an hour afterwards. They had been good friends before. Henry Oilier, surgeon, opened Thompson's head. There were many bruises on the head and face, and there was an effusion of blood between the scalp and its covering, and also a considerable effusion of blood upon the brain, which caused death. That effusion was, in witness's judgment, occasioned by external violence. It was too extensive to arise from exer tion. Witness judged it was from a blow, and not from a fall. He thought so from a circular appear ance of coagulated blood, bigger than, a half-crown piece, on the side of the head. The excitement was likely to create a tendency of blood to the head, which would make external violence more easily rupture the vessels. The effusion of the blood was very gradual, and that accounted for Thompson being well immediately after thit fight. The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, Jonathan Howarth gave the challenge. It was no sudden quarrel, and if be had the feelings he seemed to possess, he would al ways think upon it with very great sorrow. There were circumstances of mitigation. It was a fair fight, —not the ummanly mode of fighting, " up and down," that had a long time disgraced the country; but he had been the cause of the deceased's death, and had brought into great trouble his father and brother, who had countenanced him and who were present to assist him. The sentence was, that they be each imprisoned two months, and kept to hard labour.

AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets, Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success ful practice, and at on:: 4 safe, speedy, and effectual, is adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure. Principiis obsta ; sero medicina paratur. By C. R. COURTENAY, ➢I.D., Robert-street, Adelphi.

The luminous views taken of these together with important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review. BILIOUS AND LIVER COMPLAINTS. AS a mild and effectual remedy for all those disorders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and Biliary organs, namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-ache , Heartburn, Flatulencies, Sp asms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S .A.NTIBILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any ot ner Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recom- ruendation of mild operation with successful effect ; and re quire no restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequence of re dundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alar min g , they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

These moving landscales are common in those hills.—London Weekly Review. A MISTAKE.—Th e worthy Minister of a parish in the city of Lincoln accidentally forgot his engagement to unite a couple in matrimonial bands on Tuesday morning, and the swain and nymph, with threw couples of smiling attendants, waited f or his reverence through the tedious hours ; till, at a quarter past twelve, the unlucky thwarter of their happiness rode past, quite un conscious of his error. Much amusement ensued from the mutua l exp l ana tion, which at last ter minated b y the warm-hearted divine making the onende honourable and liberale, in bestowing a second marriag e feast, and appointing the next morning for tyin g the indissoluble knot. The lively pair retired, heartily en j o ying the frolic 1 , pretending to do so at least,) and entered into al the usual amusements of th e wedding-feast ; and on Wednesday morning consecrated their union, which was then celebrated with the second festi vity, by the kind favour of the forgetful priest.— Stockport Aclvertisser. PARIS, AUG. 24. _t was generally reported that Vidocq, the Townsend of the Paris police, had gone to Vienna, on a mission to assassinate young Na poleon, and that he had been taken and hanged ; but he has got from the gallows as he got from the galleys, and is enjoying, since his dismissal, his otiunz sine dignitate in composing his remi niscences. He began his career as a thief ; but Justice, playing at blind-man's buff, caught hold of him, marked him for her own, and sent him to the galleys to rusticate. His intelli gence there found him favour, and, after a few years of probation, he was permitted to return to Paris, when the blind old lady enlisted him under her banners as chef de la police de silret!! : but it would appear that the esprit de corps, and his sympathy for those who had the same failings as himself, induced him to sleep sometimes when he ought to have been awake ; and his masters found that the old pro verb, " set a thief to catch a thief," was a remedy worse than the disease ; and Master Vidocq was dismissed, having in his honest calling amassed wherewithal to console him in his disgrace. He was some years ago on the eve of marrying a young English lady of fortune, under the name of Monsieur Charles ; but the head of the police becoming acquainted with the matter, caused the family to be informed of the real character of the suitor. He threatens to bring " all the world and his wife" into his memoirs, and to let us into many state secrets. A new measure, which is effectually to curb the license of the press, is understood to be al ready cut and dried, ready to promulgate when the King goes to the camp of St. Omers. A new literary enterprise has just been started —it is no less than a daily literary journal, under the title of La Nouveau Journal de Paris ; the form and justification are just the same as ill the Journal de Paris, which the Ministers sent to the tomb of all the Capulets. It is well edited, and has, in less than three weeks, above 2000 subscribers. The body of performers of the Opera Comique is an open insurrection ; five have been dismissed, two of the ladies with small pensions, and an inter diction to perform either at Paris, in the provinces, or even in foreign countries. This is French gal lantry ; well may it be said that the days of chivalry are gone. Now suppose these actresses were to take it into their heads to smuggle themselves as ladies' maids to England (for the police will not grant them passports), and play in London, would the English Government give them up, or send the comic souls out of the country by the Alien Bill ? If not, the interdiction is a mere bugbear. Can the French directors of the, theatres suppose that those whom they prevent from exercising their profession, can or will starve on twelve pounds a-year ! ! , A new lease of the gaming-houses has been contracted for, at about 250,0001. per annum ; of which 220,0001. goes to government for the support of the church and hospitals ; this is true Christian doctrine, bringing good out of evil. Th e Paris tax on frailty is destined to the same purposes ! !—Literary Gazette. Or Lord Archibald Hamilton, brother to the Duke of Hamilton, e xpired on Tuesday last, at his house, Upper Mall, Hammersmith. His Lordship represented the County of Lanark in Parliament for many years, and was an active and intelligent Member of the House of Com mons. There was no man more respected by all parties than his I.9rthLip. on the 20th of June, bringing dispatches from the British Minister, the lion. Robert Gordon, said to be a Commercial Treaty entered into with the Brazi lian Government. The Eclair also brought 130,000 dollars, on merchants' account. All parties here appear very anxious for the return of the Heron. The Admiral (Sir R. W. Otway) will afterwards sail in the Ganges, 84, Capt. Inglefield, to visit the northern ports of the Empire (Bahia, Pernambuco, &c.), having dispatched (as he expects to be enabled to do) the Blanche, with the news to England. The Thetis has sailed for Bahia; the Ganges, Ranger, Menai, Cadmus (which arrived yesterday from Eng land), and Adventure, surveying vessel, are lying here; the Menai will sail on the 28th inst. for Valparaiso; and the Ranger, soon afterwards, round the Horn. The Volage and Egginton transports, were left at Callao on the Ist of April; the Jasseur had gone to San Blas ; the Blanche and Doris, were at Valparaiso, the former collecting specie for Rio Janeiro and England. Capt. King, in the Adventure, and Capt. Pringle Stokes, in the Beagle, are about to proceed from Rio, to resume their surveys—the first to Staten Land, the latter to Magellan Straits. They will spend the winter of 1828 (May and June) at Valparaiso. The Straits of Magellan have been found by Captain Stokes to be a very safe naviga don from West to East, but the current and the wind both generally setting from the Westward, renders it a tedious passage into the Pacific. It is, as is the whole point of Southern America, full of excellent harbours, affording plenty of wood, water, fish, and guianichos—the latter an excellent substi tute for mutton, but as large as a calf, with a venison flavour. The Adventure, early in 1829, will come home round the world, calling at New South Wales. The Beagle will come home direct. Both the ships have had much intercourse with the natives, and have universally been treated in a friendly manner. The Eclair spoke the Kangaroo, on the 21st ult. from 'Jamaica, with a mail for England. On Wednesday the Maidstone frigate, Commo dore Charles Bullen, C.B. returned from the com mand of the Western Coast of Africa, where he was actively employed three years in suppressing the Slave Trade. She came into harbour yesterday to be paid off. The Briton frigate, Captain Hon. W.

Oc_A It has been very generally reported that Sir Walter Scott, in his Life of Napoleon, has given some ori ginal information respecting the Battle of Waterloo, which he obtained from the Duke of Wellington. We can state, upon good authority, that the above report is not true.— Sir Walter certainly did try to get at some of the Duke's private opinions respecting this famous battle ; but his Grace's reply was merely, " Why, the French peppered us most •—, but we peppered them better.".— Glasgow Courier. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, Auo. 30. John Gordon alias Thomas Fleet was indicted for stealing a gelding, the property of John Fielden.— Verdict—" Guilty." Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, the weapon found upon him made it probable that his apprehension saved him from the commission of still greater crimes. The Court would consider the sentence to be in flicted. His Lordship added, that Newton had acted very properly in causing the prisoner to be ap prehended. John Entwisle and Matthew Clayton were indicted for a burglary on the night of the 30th of June, in the house of Robert Andrew, at Harpenhey, in the parish of Manchester, and stealing a basket and two cheeses. James Gorton, a watchman in the employ of the prosecutor, saw the prisoners getting out of the cellar-window at two o'clock in the morning, took them into custody, and alarmed the prosecutor. Robert Andrew rose on hearing Gorton, and with his son and servants assisted in securing the prisoners.—Verdict" Guilty." There was another indictment against Entwisle for another burglary, and it appeared, upon inquiry, that both the prisoners had been convicted of pre vious felonies, and suffered imprisonment. Sentence of death was recorded, and Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, they must not be allowed to infest the country any more, but their lives would be spared. Jonaiian Brookes, a young boy of 14, and William Adshead, and William Fay, each aged 19, were in dicted for the manslaughter of Charles Barlow, at Manchester, or. Sunday, the Bth of April. It appeared from the evidence, that Barlow, who was a youth of 15, and Brookes had been at a Sunday school on the morning of the Bth April, and that they agreed not to go in the afternoon, but went to Newton-lane in the fields. While there, the two boys began playing, till Barlow flung Brookes down, and daubed his new trousers. Brookes then struck Barlow, and they began fighting. Several people came round, and they got backsets (seconds), and stripped to fight. Brookes showed great un willingness, said he was sorry to fight that day, he would fight the next day, and wished to leave off three several times, but was prevented by the spectators, amongst whom were some colliers, who resisted every attempt to stop the fight. The boys fought a stand-up fight, according to the evidence of the witnesses, for two hours and a half, when Bar low fell down and could not rise. Brookes went up to him, spoke to him, and begged him to answer, but Barlow could not, and Brookes fell a crying; went home and told his parents what had happened, and appeared very sorry. Barlow was taken home alive, but died in the course of an hour. Adshead kept the ring, and Fay seconded Bar low. Mr. Oilier, the surgeon, deposed that the ef fusion of blood over the brain caused death, and that in his judgment it was occasioned by external violence, and not by over-exertion. The Jury found the prisoners all Guilty, but re commended Brookes, who had received a good cha racter, to mercy. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, there was a great deal of difference in the criminality of the offenders.— The day aggravated the offence. Brookes's playing truant had occasioned all the bitterness he and his parents had endured. He had, however, evinced good feelings, and his Lordship hoped the imprison ment he had already suffered would be a warning to him, and for the sake of his own good feeling, and that he might not increase the sufferings of his parents, his punishment should be only the fine of a shilling. Those who had encouraged the fight for so long a period had a great deal to answer for.— Adshead did at one time try to separate them, but Fay continued seconding one of them to the last. — The sentence was—that Adshead be confined for three, and Fay for 12 months, and each kept to hard .abour. FRIDAY, AUGUST 31. ANDERTON V. WHITTAKER. This was an action to recover damages for the loss of the services of the plaintiff's daughter, who had been seduced by the defendant. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMs said the plaintiff was a re spectable farmer, at Ramsgrove-hall, near Manches ter, and was the father of ten children, most of them daughters, the eldest of whom was Margaret, the unfortunate subject of this inquiry. The father of the defendant was also a farmer in the same neigh bourhood. Their circumstances were nearly equal; the plaintiff's farm was rented at 1401. per annum, and the defendant's father paid 1201. for his. The defendant's father had also a large family, and there was a long intimacy between the parties, who were nearly of the same age. About two years after they had become acquainted, the defendant paid particu lar attentions to the plaintiff's daughter—so much so, that her sister Betsy mentioned the matter to her mother, who, knowing the respectability of the de fendant's family, did not object to the courtship, and consequently the defendant was permitted to continue his visits, which he did for several years, on the footing of an accepted lover. They had, in deed, often promised to marry each other, but no day was fixed. In the beginning of last year, the de fendant said, his circumstances were about to be changed ; there was a farm at liberty near his father's house, which he was going to take, and she must prepare herself for her marriage; they accord ing fixed the following Whitsunday to be the day. Under this promise, and by these means the de fendant was enabled to accomplish his purpose with the young woman, who had no doubt of his sincerity. Confiding in his promise, she bought herself new clothes, and made every preparation for her marriage ; but Whitsuntide came, and the defendant did not appear. Some time after wards, however, he did come to the plaintiff's house, and said, he had been ill, but was getting better, and would speedily fix another day, and keep to it ; but he did not come again,and the plaintiff had the mor tification to find that his daughter was deserted and with child, of which she was delivered in last October. James Speak was acquainted with the father o! the defendant. He occupied a farm at Hulme, near Manchester, worth about 1301. per annum, and had bought some of the tithes in that parish. Margaret Anderton.—l was 29 years old in last May ; my father keeps a farm at Ramsgrove-hall, for which he pays 130/. a year. lam the eldest of ten children ; I have known the defendant ten years. 1 became first acquainted with him at my uncle's, James Tattersall's, but did not see him frequently until two years after that. lie then visited me very often, at least once a fortnight. He always said he wished to marry me, and to make me his wife. My sister Betsy told my mother that the defendant was courting me. My mother was well acquainted with the defendant and his father. The defendant hardly ever came without speaking of our being married. On Sunday, the Bth of January, 1826, he came to me at my father'... house, and told me I must prepare for the marriage, for he had a farm to go to at a little distance from his father's. He came again on the 16th of January, and fixed the marriage-day for Whitsunday. I bought, in consequence, new clothes, and got every thing ready; but he did not come on the Whitsunday, nor did be come for several days after. When he came , he said he had be en ill , but he would shortly fix a day, and keep it. I never saw him after that. He did call long afterwards, but I desired my sister Betsy to say I was not in. I was delivered on the 18th of October last. ThV de- Joseph Shaw was indicted for burglariously en _ tering the dwelling-house of James Scanlan, at. Ashton-under-Line, on the 4th of April, and stealing three watches,nine silver spoons, and two silver salt cellars. James Scanlan, the prosecutor, said, he made his house fast, and went to bed at eleven o'clock. In the middle of the night, his wife was alarmed and woke him. They got out of bed, and he saw a light under the door, and heard a noise. He held the door to as much as he could, and his wife helped him ; but it was forced open with a crow-bar, and four men rushed into the room, whilst another man re mained on the stairs. The men ordered hint and his wife to go into bed, and to cover their heads with the bed-clothes, which they did. The men then broke open a trunk, and took out some table-spoons. One of them said, " These are not the only things, there is money besides." They then took out three watches, two large saltcellars ' nine tea-spoons, and pieces of foreign and English silver coin. All but the table-spoons were taken away, and none of the property had been since found. The prisoner was one of the men ; he, the prosecutor, had known him before. They broke into the house by making a hole through the wall of the cellar. The prosecutor gave information to the police the next day, and the prisoner was afterwards apprehended. The prisoner did not speak whilst in the house. His face was blacked over, and a handkerchief was tied over the lower part of it. All the men but one were dis guised. William Chadwick apprehended the prisoner on the 6th of April. He was at home in bed. Witness charged him with the robbery; he said he was not there. Witness took him to the lock-up house, and went to him the next day, when he appeared very much dejected. Witness asked what ailed him ? He answered, " he should not have been in the rob bery if he had not been persuaded." Witness asked who persuaded him. He said, " Hurst. It was tNie the first time he had done so, and Hurst assisted to put him through the hole, and he let the others in at the door; he did not go in the bed - room, but stood on the outside. Afterheprosecutor the lv theytns all s T went into a field, and Hurst gave him eighteen pence for his share." the day after the robbery that he thought he should know some of the men again, for he believed he had seen two of them before. The prosecutor had been with witness to the police-office, and had seen seve ral people, but he could only speak to the prisoner. The prisoner said in his defence he never told any thing to Chadwick, and had never received a far thing of the money from James Hurst. Mr. Justice BAYLEY recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. I !James Hurst and John Kemp were indicted for a highway robbery upon Obadiah Marland, on the night of the 26th of April, at Ashton-under-Line. Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up, and the Jury immediately found both prisoners " Guilty." The prisoners were then removed. There are other in dictments against Hurst. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLOUCESTER, Atcc. 31 —__ Last night about eight o'clock the commission was opened in this city by Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE and Mr. Baron VAUGHAN. The calender contains the names of seventy-six prisoners, sixty-nine for the county, and seven for the city, but the offences are chiefly of a trifling nature. Forty-three causes are set down for trial, and not one of them marked for a special jury. Thi s d a y, after attending divine service, between one and two o'clock their Lordships proceeded to the Town Hall,ivilMsird.eJ,uasntid Mr. Baron V AUGHAN presi dingce L I TTLEDALE takin g hi s seat n inthe C the C rown c ourt.
