So from a double meaning being dis covered in a sentence, the duty of 3s. on every pamphlet which used to be received at the Stamp office, was now refused there. Four days after ar Act had been passed, taking off the duty on madder, the compositor in whose hands it was placed disco vered that it repealed the whole of the customs duties, the words "on madder" being ac;identally omitted. But although the intent was clear from the context, the Legislature deemed it necessary to pass a short Act (54:Geo. 111. c. 27) to reclify the mistake with all possible haste. It was clear that all a good citizen could be required to do, was to adhere literally to the letter of the law. Mr. Alley replied, the gentleman had confounded two distinct branches of the revenue, which were established by distinct Acts, and were placed under the management of distinct Commissioners. The Art to which Mr. Hibbert referred enumerated the sere ral Acts it repealed, and it distinctly stated that it repealed "the duties of excise" on printed cotton. There was no reference to the stamp duties, which were totally distinct from the excise. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said it was clear the A c t was limited to the repeal of the excise duties, and the defence therefore failed. Mr. Alderman KELLY concurred. It bad been ingeniously urged that slips had been committed by the Legislature, but there had been ao slip in this case. It was impossible to say this almanack did not come within the penalties of the 38th George 111. They therefore convicted defendant in the pe nalty of 10/. The defendant being unconvinced that the objec tions taken were invalid, refused to promise to de sist from publishing, and Mr. Alley proceeded to prove a second offence by the same evidence as before. Mr. Hibbert re-argued his objections, and Mr. Payne being appealed to, said, if the parish had been altogether omitted, it might have been im material, but as the information must be set out in the conviction, and be sustainable by evidence, the erroneous averment respecting the parish was a defect. Mr. Hibbert allowed that the house was assessed to the land -tax, poor-rate, and watch -rate, as in \Vhitefriars, though to the window-duty it was as sessed as in Sr. Dun.tan. The City Solicitor being consulted, concurred en tirely with Mr. Alley that the objections were not good. The Aldermen again convicted. The defendant was then convicted a third time, as he still refused to desist from publishing; but on commencing upon a fourth offence a c.,mpromi-e took place, Mr. Alley consenting to adjourn the hear ing for a fortnight, and not to press the penalties the interim, the defendant undertaking to petition the Commissioners of Stamps in the course of three or four days, and endeavour to obtain a remission of the fines on desisting from the offence for the future.

A republication of this work will be commenced on January Ist; when will be republished Vol. 1., being the first volume of the HISTORY of SCOTLAND, in Two Volumes, by * Sir WALTER SCOTT. The volumes of the republication will be continued monthly, neatly bound in crimson cloth, with a Vignette Title, designed by Cur bould, and engraved by Finden, price 6s. each. This Cyclopedia, which is designed as a work of gene ral entertainment and instruction, as well as of reference, will be completed within as narrow limits as its compre hensive nature will admit. It will consist of eight Di visions; viz. History, Biography, Natural Philosophy, Natural History, Geography, the Arts, Moral Philosophy, and Literature; and will be concluded by a General Dic tionary of Literature, Science, and Art. Among the Contributors appears almost every name of eminence in the Literature and Science of this country, and many of the most distinguished foreigners. The fol lowing may be mentioned among numerous others— Scott, Mackintosh, Herschel, Moore, Southey, the Bishop of Cloyne, Sismondi, Campbell, Macaulay, Biot, Brewster, the Baron Dupin, Kater, Macleay, Vigors, Berzeliu., James Montgomery, Gleig, Conybeare, &c. London : Longman and Co., and John Taylor. " Sir Ralph Esher" is the title of Mr. LEIGH HUNT'S novel now on the eve of appearance. The talc consists, we understand, of the adventures of a gentleman of the Court of CHARLES H. A more btilliant assem blage of cavaliers and dames never appeared than that which composed the Court of the merry Monarch, such, for example, as the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, Miss STEWART, Miss WARMESTRE, Lady CASTLEDIAIN, NELL GWYN, DORSET, SEDLEY, WALLER, COWLEY, KILLIGREW, Sir KENELM DIGBY, Lord ROCHESTER, and other wits and beaux-esprits, with CHARLES himself at their head ; all of whom the novelist is said to have laid under contribu tion in his riant story. 111 E STYLITE.—About the year 452, SYMEON, a Syrian, introduced a refinement in mortifica tion, by residing successively upon five pillars of six, twelve, twenty-two, thirty-six, and forty-eight cubits high; in this wretched state be continued thirty-seven years, and his sublime piety was, at :his decease, eagerly emulated by DANIEL, a monk, who resided upon the top of a pillar, and died in that situation at the advanced age of SS. BONAPARTE'S TOMB.—Visitors to BONA PARTE'S tomb at St. Helena describe the recent planting of a set of young willows around it, cuttings from the parent trees, by the present Governor, as the two or three old trees are fast going to decay. Longwood is now a farm-house, and no part but the former billiard-room re mains inhabitable, the other apartments being converted into stables, granaries,• &c. The new Longwood house (an excellent dwelling) has never been occupied, and ap parently is fast falling to decay. DREADFUL ALTERNATIVE, EITHER TO BURN OR DROWN.—On Saturday last, as Mr. AnRAM COOKE, farmer, of Whaplode Drove, was walking in his home close, he was alarmed by a dreadful shriek of dis tress, and on looking round saw some one enveloped in flames rush from the house of Mr. JOHN PEET, and plunge into a ditch on the opposite side of the road. Mr. CoOKE hastened to the spot, where he found a girl about 13, named MARY ANN WILLcox, immersed to the neck in water, with the greater part of her clothes burnt off. 1t appeared that else had been taking a put of potatoes fr om I the fire, when the flames caught her apron: at first she tried to smother it out, but being unable to accomplish this, she ran into the ditch (a distance of 20 yards from the house) a complete mass of fire. Fortunately the house door and garden gate were both open, or she must have perished in the flames; and but for the timely assistance of Mr. COOKE, she would speedily have met death from the water, being unable to extricate herself from her situation. One of her arms was much burnt, but she is now in a fair way of recovery.—Stamford News. EXECUTION OF AN INCENDIARY. MAID STONE, DEC. 22.—This forenoon the extreme sentence of the law was carried into effect upon ROBERT DIXON, who was convicted of arson at the recent Assize for this county, The execution took place above the turnkey's lodge, in front of the county gaol, and was witnessed by an immense congregation of the people, one half of whom were females.—The unhappy culprit, whose crimes have brought hint to an ignominious end, was an agricultural labourer, and resided in the village of Eastry, about twelve miles from Canterbury. About a week before the occurrence happened, he and several others struck for an advance of wages, and a meeting being called, it was de bsted whether a fire was not likely to frighten the farmers into an advance or wages! As no question can exist as to DIXON'S guilt, in spite of his continued protestations of innocence, it is but too probable that on the above occa sion he volunteered the dreadful office of incendiary. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday Mary Bennett, a common prostitute of the most abandoned character, who had been fre• li quently brought to this office on charges of robbery and assault, was charged with attempting to murder her daughter, a little girl aged nine years, and bear ing the same name. It appeared from the evidence of James Graham, a policeman, No. 49, K, that about two o'clock that morning he was on duty in Union-street, Shadweli, when he heard the prisoner calling police ; and on proceeding towards her, she said she had killed her own gill, at the house, No. 2, and implored of him to go and fetch a doctor. He, however, first pro ceeded into the house, and on entering the prisoner'v room saw the child lying on the floor, apparently lifeless, and weltering in its blood, which was flow ing profusely from a deep wound in its head. lie asked the prisoner what she had been doing, and she said that the tail of the bedstead had fallen upon the child's head, and inflicted the injury. A north• country sailor, whom the prisoner had brought home, and was lying on the bed, immediately told him that the prisoner struck the girl with the rail, as she was lying on the floor, at the same time uttering dreadful exclamation. The sailor now repeated this statement. William Butler, a policeman, No. 48, K, stated that while Graham carried the child to a surgeon, he conveyed the prisoner towards the station-house, and on their way there asked her how she could hurt her own child. She replied that three of her children, by different men, were lying in the church yard, and she wanted to kill this, and did not care how soon she got rid of it. The girl, who appeared in a weak and dangerous state, was carried into the office, and said that her mother was a little tipsy, and struck her with all her force on the head, with the bedstead-rail, fur nothieg at all. The rail was produced covered with blood. The prisoner, who hid her face in her hands, and sobbed audibly, and was apparently absorbed in grief, said that she was very sorry for what she had done, and that she dearly loved her girl, and would not injure her again. Mr. BALLANTINE said he was quite staggered by , such infamous profligacy and heartless cruelty, and a more unfeeling wretch than the prisoner he had never heard of. He should not be doing his duty as a Magistrate if he did not prevent the unnatural mother from again having the care of the girl, and punishing her to the fullest extent. He then con victed her in the highest penalty of .51., and, in de fault of payment, to two months' imprisonment. The worthy Magistrate ordered the girl to be pro vided for in Shadwell workhouse. The prisoner no sooner heard the sentence than she uncovered her face, and abused Mr. Ballantinr and Captain Richhell in the most vile terms, and said " they and the girl might go to -." She was removed by the officers, uttering the most horrid Tecations. THE DOSE TO BE REPEATED.-WETIIE RELL called the Bill by the name of RussELL's purge; but considering its effect on the close boroughs, it should rather be termed an opening medicine. —Figaro in London. BURKING IN LANCASTER.—As the public papers are full of acc , unts of this atrocious crime, and a a false report is in circulation respecting a man having at tempted to Burke two little boys on Tuesday morning last, it may not be amiss to relate a circumstance that oc curred the other day at the White Lion, in this town. THOMAS Com-mm.4m, the ventriloquist, happened, along with some other persons, to be in the parlour of the above inn, when an old farmer, carrying over his shoulder a sack which contained something that seemed bulky, entered the apartment. As he passed ConwrxwAlTE, a voice from the interior of the sack called out in a smothered tone, " 0 dear, good folks! help me, help me out of the sack ! this fellow has Barked me !" The astonistipsent of the com pany may be more easily imagined than described. Tt.e farmer protested that his sack only contained a few other empty sacks—but the voice continuing to supplicate in most piteous tones, his positive declarations were all to no effect, and he was compelled to reveal the contents of hi.• burthen. As the affrightened mart began to untie the sack, every eye being attentively fixed upon it, a person who was in the secret exclaimed, " There's his head!" and im mediately made as rapid an escape as he could. He wa• followed by the ingenious ventriloquist and the rest of the company, not excepting the worthy farmer himself, who, when the first terrors occasioned by the mysterious voice were subsided, returned to the parlour, convinced himself that the alarm had been a false one, collected his scattered sacks, and vowed that when he entered a public-house again, he would ,sot go with a sack on his shoulder . 1 — Loicaster Herald.

And be it enacted that it shall be lawful for the said Secretary of State to allow to every such Inspector such salary for his trouble, and such a sum of money for the expenses of his office, as to the said Secretary of State shall appear reasonable; and that an annual return of all such allowances shall be made to Parliament. And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for the execu tor or administrator of any person deceased, or for any party having lawfully the custody of the body of any such person, with the consent of the nearest known relative of such person, to permit the body of such person to undergo anatomical examination ; unless to the knowledge of such executor or administrator, or of such party, such person shall have expressed his desire, either in writing at any time, or orally in the presence of one or more witnesses, that his body after death may not undergo such examination. Provided always, and be it enacted, that in no eas e shall the body of any person be removed for anatomical examination from any place where such person may have died, unless a certificate, stating in what manner such person came by his death, shall, previously to the removal of the body, have been signed by a medical man who at tended such person during the illness whereof he died; or if no medical man attended such person during such illness, then by some other medical men : and that in case of such removal, such certificate shall be delivered, toge ther with the body, to the party receiving the same for anatomical examination.

And be it enacted, that nothing in this Act contained shall be construed to extend to or to prohibit any post mortem examination of any human body, required or di rected to be made by any competent legal authority. And whereas an Act was passed in the fourth year of the reign of his late Majesty, for altering and amending the laws and usages relating to the interment of the re mains of persons against whom there should be had a finding of felo de se ; and whereas another Act was passed, in the ninth year of the reign of his late Majesty, for consolidating and amending the Statutes in England relative to offences against the person; by which latter Act it is enacted that the body of every person convicted of murder shall, after execution, either he dissected or hung in chains, as to the Court which tried the offender shall seem meet ; and that the sentence to be pronounced I f the Court shall express, inter ulia, that the body oi to offender shall be dissected or hung in chains, which soever of the two the Court shall order; be it enacted, that so much of the said last recited Act as authorises the Court, if it shall see 6t, to direct that the body of a per son convicted of murder shall after execution be dissected, be, and the same is hereby repealed, except so far as so much of the said Act may repeal the whole or part of any other Act or Acts. Arid be it enacted, that the body of every person eon victed of murder shall, after execution, either be hung in chains, or be buried on the highway, after the manner in which before the passing of the said first-recited Act, the bodies of self-murderers were wont to he burie,f, as to the Court may seem meet ; and that the sentence to be pro nounced by the Court shall express, inter alia, that the body of the offender shall he hung in chains, or buried on the highway, after the manner afores iid, whichsoever of the two the Court shall order.

And in order to remove doubts as to the meaning of certain words in this Act, he it enacted, that the words " person and party" shall be respectively deemed to include any number of persons ; and that the meaning of the afore said words shall not he restricted, although the same may may be subsequently referred to in the singular number and masculine gender only. And be it enacted, that nothing in this Act contained shall extend to Ireland. And be it enacted, that this Act shall commence and take effect from and after the BILL forBETTERING THE CONDITION of Me AGRICULTURAL POOR. The preamble of this Bill states, that in consequence of the increasing hardships of poor husbandry labourers from the destruction of small farms, the demolition of cottages, and the want of gardens, it is expedient to remedy their condition. A. new officer, called " Patron of the Poor," is to be appointed in each parish, who shall visit all la bourers' cottages, and if he find them deficient in number or accommodation for the labourers, he is to notify the same to the parish-officers, who are to meet him to put this Act into execution. The Act empowers these officers to mark out sites for cottages, one at least to he annually erected until all are accommodated, and, in the words of the Act, " every such site shall include a plot of ground for a garden, of not less than - square yards, or of the yearly value of - shillings, exclusive of that pat which shall be built upon, the rent of which ground, when let to the cottager, shall not be higher in proportion than land of a like quality in the immediate neighbourhood let and occupied as arable or pasture land only. The buildings, &c., including a rood of land, to be rented at one shilling per week." The next clause in the Act pro vides for the similar accommodation and employment of such cottagers as the preceding parts of this Bill have not yet been applied to. It is further enacted, " with a view to improve the character, as well as better the condition, of the labouring poor, that certain advantages should be restored and extended to the most deserving and industrious of them, not only for the purpose of distinguishing and rewarding their meritorious conduct, but in order perpe tually to incite others to follow their good example." These advantages are, " sufficient land to keep a cow on, a com mon pasture for the cottagers ; the rent thereof to be equally paid by them according to the rate of land of a like quality in the immediate neighbourhood occupied as grass and meadow land only, and in farms of not less than fifty acres each." In parishes where an alleged excess of agricultural labourers has given rise to a disgraceful and injurious prac tice of paying the wages of those who are employed, wholly or in part, out of the parochial rates, while those who cannot find work, and who are therefore obliged to apply to the parish for relief, are often set to useless, irk some, or degrading tasks, or kept in total idleness, or sent to workhouses, where they occasion still g.eater expences in their maintenance, the patron and parochial officer shall obtain fields whereupon to employ the labourers in spade husbandry, " one of the labourers of the parish, of honest and industrious habits, and able to keep accounts, to work with and have the superintendence over the labourers so employed." This provision is not to extend to the labourer in regular employment, and earning moderate wages, who may apply for relief from the parish in conse quence of sickness, death, or other misfortunes in his family, or when the number of his children, incapable of earning their shall render an addition to the wages generally paid necessary to the decent maintenance of him self and family. Surveyors of roads are prohibited from employing labourers in breaking stones, &c. during a certain period, for the commencement and termination of which, blanks are left in the Bill; and during the winter months such labour shall he performed under moveable sheds to be pro vided by the Commissioners of the Roads or the parochial surveyors, in order to prevent the painful and permanent affliction which that employment, as now persued, in severe weather, constantly occasions, especially to the aged poor. In parishes where Crown lands or uninclosed wastes and commons exist, they are to be selected for the purposes of this Act ; and the last provision enables incumbents of Ecclesiastical benefices, with the consent of the patron, to lease a certain portion of the glebe land for the purposes of this Act. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL. Yesterday Richard Carlilc , the younger, of Fleet street, attended before Aldermen KELLY and ANs- LE Y, to answer five informations for exposing for sale and selling five copies of the " Untaxed Gene ral Almanaelc," being a sheet almanack, printed on cotton , published without a stamp. _ _ _ - • Mr. Hibbert appeared on behalf of the defendant, and Mr. Alley in support of the informations. Th e information hawing been read, and the de fendant having pleaded " Not Guilty," Mr. Hibbert objected that the defendant was not a printer or bookseller, as set forth, nor were the almanacks sold, as averred, in the parish of St. D u nstan-in-the-West, in the precinct of Whitefriars. Mr. Alley said it did not matter whether the de fendant was printer or a painter for this purpose. Where outlawry might result from the proceeding, a Statute had required that the addition of the party accused should be stated, and it was required there fore in indictments for felony. But no outlawry lay in the case before the Magistrate, and the addition therefore was surplusage, and any mistake in it was immaterial. The other objection was as unfounded. If the penalty was directed to be divided between the informer and the poor of the parish, it would be necessary to state correctly in what parish the offence was committed; but in the present case the whole penalty went to the King, and it was sur plusage to state in what parishes the almanacks were sold. It was enough to say they were sold in the city of London, so as to show the offence was committed within the jurisdiction of the Magistrate. Mr. Hibbert objected that the summonses served on the defendant differed from and contained less than the informations. Mr. Payne replied, his appearance cured any de fect in the summons, which should contain an ab stract from, and not a copy, of the informations. Mr. Alley then called, Henry Goddard, an officer of Marlborough-street, who deposed, that on the 13th instant lie purchased an almanack (which he produced) of the defendant, at No. 1, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, in the city of London. He purchased two dozen at ss. the dozen. Mi. Alley remarked, that by this transaction only, the Commissioners were put in a condition to sue for 2401. in penalties. James Winkle, an inspector of stamps, proved that the almanack produced should have been stamped, but had not been stamped. Mr. Hibbert then read the Act, Ist William IV. cap. 17, repealing all the duties on printed, stained, or dyed cotton. Mr. Alderman KELLY asked if it contained any direct reference to the duty on almanaeks. Mr. Hibbert said it contained no exception in favour of it, and it was his point that this exception Mould have been inserted, and had been omitted inadvertently. From this inadvertence the Govern ment would lose the tax for a time, as it lost a por- imp THE EMPRESS MARIA THERESA. Who has not read of the scene which ensued, which has so often been related, so often de scribed ? and yet we all feel that we cannot hear of it too often. When we first meet it on the page of history, we are taken by surprise, as though it had no business there ; it has the glory and the freshness of an old romance. Poetry never invented any thing half so striking, or that so-completely fills the imagination. The Hun garians had been oppressed, enslaved, insulted by Maria Theresa's predecessors. In the be ginning of her reign she had abandoned the usurpation of her ancestors, and lied voluntarily taken the oath to preserve all their privileges entire. This was partly front policy, hut it was also partly from her own just and kind nature. The hearts of the Hungarians were already half won when she arrived at Presburg, in June, 1741. She was crowned Queen of Hungary on the 13-,h, with the peculiar national ceremo nies ; the iron croon of St. Stephen was placed on her head ; the tattered, but sacred robe was placed over her own rich habit, which was en crusted with gems ; his scimitar girded to Fer side. Thus attired, and upon a superb charger, she rode up the Royal Mount., and, according to the antique custom, drew her sabre and de fied the four quarters of the world, " in a man. tier that showed she had no occasion for that weapon to conquer all who ,saw her." The crown of St. Stephen, which had never before been placed on so small or so lovely a head, hod been lined with cushions to make it fit ; it was also very heavy, and its weight, added to the heat of the weather, incommoded her when she sat down to dinner in the great hall of the castle—she expressed a wish to lay it aside. On lifting the diadem from her brow, her hair, loosened from confinement, fell down in luxuriant ringlets over her neck and shoulders ; the glow which the heat and emotion had diffused over her complexion, added to her natural beauty—the assembled nobles, struck with admiration, could scarce forbear shouting their applause. The effect which her youthful grace and loveliness produced on this occasion had not yet subsided when she called together the Diet, or Senate of Hungary, in order to lay before them the situation of her affairs. She entered the hall of the castle habited in the Hun. garian costume, but still in deep mourning for her father ; she traversed the apartment with a slow and majestic step, and ascended the throne, where she stood for a few minutes silent. The Chancellor of State first explained the situation to which she was reduced, and then the Queen coming forward addressed the assembly in Latin, a language which she spoke fluently, and which is still in common use among the Hun garians. " The disastrous state of our affairs," said she, " has moved us to lay before our dear and faithful states of Hungary the recent in vasion of • Austria, the danger now impending over this kingdom, and to propose to them the consideration of a remedy. The very existence of the kingdom of Hungary, of our own person, of our children, of our crown, are now at stake, and, forsaken by all, we place our sole hope in the fidelity, arms, and long-tried valour of the Hungarians." She pronounced these simple words in a firm but melancholy tone. Her beauty, her magnanimity, and her dress, roused the Hungarian Chiefs to the wildest pitch of enthusiasm ; they drew their sabres out of their scabbards, then flung them back to the hilt with a martial sound which re-echoed through the lofty hall and exclaimed with one accord, " Our swords and our blood for your Majesty— we will die for our King, Maria The resa !" Overcome with sudden emotion she burst into a flood of tears. At this sight, the nobles became almost frantic with en thusiasm. "We wept too," said a nobleman who assisted on this occasion, (Count Kotler,) " but they were tears of admiration, pity, and fury." They retired from her presence to vote supplies of men and money, which far exceeded ail her expectations. Two or three days after this extraordinary scene the Deputies again as sembled, to receive the oath of Francis, of Lor raine, who had been appointed Co-Regent of Hungary. Francis having taken the required oath, waved his arm over his head, and exclaimed with enthusiasm, " My blood and life for the Queen and kingdom !" It was on this occasion that Maria Theresa took up her infant son in her arms and presented him to the Deputies, and again they burst into the acclamation, " We will die for Maria Theresa and her children."— . Janzeson's Lives of Female Sovereigns. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—In the case of the KING on the prosecution of FLEMING V. JONES, which was an indictment for perjury, and tried yesterday at Guildhall, before Lord TENTERDEN......(a portion of which Ivas in yesterday's Sun)—the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. On Wednesday afternoon, as a gentleman and his servant were shooting in Caen Wood, near Highgate, on their killing an owl, and in the act of covering it with leaves to preserve the feathers, their attention was at tracted by the dog ; on advancing to the spot, it proved the dog hid found a human being, which presented a mo't horrifying spectacle, the flesh being completely eaten front the head and face; and from its decomposed state, its re cognition was impossible. Notice being given to the constable, the body was searched, and a watch, seals, pencil-case, and a tooth-pick were found in the pockets, which were immediately recognized as belonging to Mr. EvAxs, a young man, who, it will be recollected, was advertised as having left his wife and two children at a relation's house (Mrs. LovaLL's, post-office, High-street, Hampstead, where they were residing), one afternoon, about five months since, under the pretence of taking a long walk. After his absence was discovered, it was as certained that his razor was missing, and between the body and its arm the razor was found. It is supposed the un fortunate deceased must have walked into the wood, sat down, and cut his throat. PHENOMENON.—As J. SMITH, a labourer, was going to his work on Lansdown on Thursday morn ing the Bth instant, about half.past five o'c ock, it was completely dark, but all of a sudden it became as light as Jay; he looked up and saw the element in a quivering blaze of fire for the space of a minute, after which it be came as dark as before. He never saw any thing like it in his life; it appeared to him like flames issuing from the sky.—The meteoric phenomenon was seen between Frome and Maiden Bradley, by Mr. WAnstax, Weymouth carrier ; by the turnpike-man at Midford, (ELLfor7,) to whom it appeared in shape like the face of a clock, about the height of a man ; a quarter of a mile further it was seen by two men, and it appeared to th em to h ave two legs to it like men's legs. The wife of the turnpike. man said, as she lay in bed the whole room appeared to to be in a blaze. At Brisiington, it passed by a waggoner with a rustling noise like the wheel of a carriage, and there is a pathway where the grass is completely scorched by it. It was seen at Devizes very high in the element ; it appeared in various shapes, and threw cut a great light. Farmer WOOLEY, of Hinton, saw it like a large tea kettle; it came down to the earth, and then rose up ,into fie hsavens again. The ostler and several men at the Fix Inn, Milford, saw it like a huge figure of fire, in shape like a man; it passed by them, and they thought they should he burnt to death by the heat ; it then went up throu g h th e v a ll e y, like a man running, and passed two The c o untry i'd"mgc' people b se a m p u ni e d Low the _steel it, at Fs and men near the canal, but it did no t burn . the m ; it then ascended out of eight. This phen om enon has been wit nessed in various parts , — in Dem s, in in Bridgewater, other pic a es. t the to account for the dazzling light, the heat, the cut.ous forms it assumed, and the numerous places in which . it was seen.--Bath Journal.
