In the late WAI: of the PENINSULA, the pea santry who lived upon the " line of march," and to whom the purchase of their provisions was often almost as ruinous as the plunder could have been, were put to desperate straits to preserve their poultry. The moment a detachment march ed into a village, fowls, ducks, and turkies, all were in requisition without reserve ; and at length, the owners of brood hens and reverend ganders used to lock them up in their chests and presses, as soon as the drum was heard, where, being in the dark, the bipeds remained perfectly silent, and inquirers were informed that the last party had eaten up the w!mle. This device suc ceeded for a time; but one day a shrewd old campaigner of the German Legion, carried a live duck from his panniers into a farm-house where no poultry could be found, and pinched the trea sure till lie extorted :he usual " quack, quack !" The result was a simultaneous reply from all the boxes and cupboards in the room ; and, to the utter despair of the Spanish farmers, in three weeks the test was general through the army. The MOTHER of a CRIMINAL named WAKzuri, who was hanged for cow-stealing in Armagh, at the summer Assizes for 1733, went on the day of his execution to the house of Dr. Sheridan (the friend of Swift), to beg toward• a winding-sheet for her son's wake, according to the Irish custom, when some persons there contributed rather liberally on the occasion. On presenting their gift to the old woman, she was so elated at her success, that after giving her thanks and blessing, she said, " My poor Johnny (meaning the exe cuted felon) always had good luck." li k - ta y Yia a e o ---....-- 4 4 , 1 1efe 11 ' e ° cT. 18._The eminent sculptor, Mr. Chan.

Five sequins," replied the customer, " was the price; and , considering ie quality, that is not dear." The tailor paused for a moment—" I am a beginner in trade," said he to the spice-dealer, and money is an object to me—give me two sequins, and I will show you how you may save three in this affair."—" I agree," returned the other; and the two sequins were produced and paid.

This actor has addressed the following letter , to the Editor of a Morning Paper : Sin—Although the criticisms of the Morning Post have not been favourable to Mr. Booth'sstheatrical pretensions, be-feels assured the Editor will not deny him a place in its columns upon a subject with which these are totally unconnected. The estimate which Mr. Booth was led to make of the libe rality, feeling, and veracity of some of the persons connected with the press, from their notices of his histrionic efforts, might well have prepared him for any degree of ridicule or mistatement in this respect ; but he hardly conceived that their malignity would extend to an attack upon private character and domestic mis fortune, in order to depreciate his abilities as an actor. An article in one of the Sunday Papers conveys insinuations, agains: Mr. Booth " as a husband and a father," which, he • thinks, for the satisfaction of his friends, demands some answer. He might, indeed, shelter himself under the plea that errors or vices in private life, while they are not notorious, have no concern with professional merits; but as his appear. ance on the stage has riot deprived him of the feelings of e man, or the common rights of society, he is more anxious (being thus unwarrantably dragged forward) to vindicate himself from such injurious charges, as far as such a subject can with propriety be discussed in the public prints. He therefore distinctly and unequivocally declares, that the statement relative to his leaving a wife and child destitute, en his departure for America, is a gross and wilful falsehood; and that, though circumstances and family - disagreements for years may have occasioned a separation between - himself and the lady alluded to, she has always been a participator in his fortunes. He has further to observe, that with respect to any other of his ccnduct, which may seem to require his doing so, he is ready, to those who are entitled to demand it, tc afford any explanation in private. • Monday evening, Oct. 17.

It is now ascer tained that the party attacked consisted of 17 Americans and 23 Mexicans. Among the latter was a Member of thel\lexican Congress. The num ber of the °sages was about 700. About 140 mules and horses were taken, and the Mexicans were severely handled. At 70 miles, distance from the Missouri frontier, on arriving at the first settle ments, the Mexicans stopped to refresh themselves and horses ; after which, the principal individual among them, the member of Congress, was to go to the city of Washington, for the purpose of be con ing personally acquainted with the people and institutions of North America. BOY I( tr,r.r.D.—A most serious and fatal acci dent happened on Monday sennight at Hertford, owing to the dangerous and too frequent occurrence of children running behind carriages to ride. A team belonging to Mr. -Josh. Field, of Hatfield, brewer, had been to the Horns public-house, near Hertford, with a load of beer; four children belonging to the landlady, Mrs. Best, got into the waggon, and after riding some distance one of them dropped a pop_ glin ; t h e eldest, named John, about eleven years old, got out to pick it up, and afterwards walked by the side of the waggoner, John Canfield, 'for about two hundred yards; the boy then went behind the waggon, and it is supposed, was either getting up into it, or riding behind, when his foot came into contact with the near wheel and the body of the waggon ; a man, named R. Grovestock, who was in the w aggon , heard the boy cry out " Oh, my leg," but it was too late, as the poor boy was so entangled in the wheel that he could not be taken Out until the spokes were cut, and it was nearly ten minutes before he could be extricated. A boy who works in the coal mines at Bowl ing, had the misfortune to have one of his toes cut off, by the fall of a large stone. He managed to stop the bleeding, and wrapping up the toe in a bit of brown paper, pursued his work till night. He then came down into the town, and applied to a surgeon to set it on him again, producing it out of 'his waistcoat pocket, where it had been six or e ight hours.—(Braftford Chronicle.)

The Ist division of the 25th or Royal Borderers, consist ing of - three companies, under Major Wolseley, Captains Priestly anti Stewart, marched yesterday from Dublin for Kul kenny ; and the second division, consisting of two companies, under Major M'Dougal and Captain Swyney, marched this day, the former for Carlow, and the latter for Athy. The remainder of this distinguished corps remain in Dublin until further orders. The last and principal division of the 58th Regiment marched from Waterford on Wednesday, for Dublin. INFANTICIDE 11l Colonel WALKEn's expedition to Cutch, his endeavours were unre mitting, both in that province and the Kattywar, to put an end to the practice of infanticide, as regarded female children, and for a time with some appearance of success. It is melancholy to state, however, that according to the latest accounts from those countries, the practice was so completely restored, that there was hardly a female child preServed among the Jarejah Rajpoots, though there were, it is supposed, several thousand families of that caste residing in Cutch and Kattywar. This fact, and the barbarous custom of female sacrifices, or suttees, prove how difficult it is to eradicate any of the prejudices, however revolt ing to humanity, of the native Indian tribes. A tornado occurred in Vermont, in the state of New Jersey, on the 31st of August, the destructive effects of which were very remarkable. Fortunately its width did not exceed 500 yards, but within that space every thing it encoun tered was swept away by its fury ; houses, barns, fences, and I even forests, were laid prostrate. A few lives were lost, and a greater number of persons were seriously injured, but its con sequences in this respect were less fatal than might have been expected. There is a custom in Jersey, which occurs, fortunately, but once in thirty years, but when it does come it is absolute, and from it there is no appeal. Certain officers, who have the care of preserving the boundaries of land, ride round the island, and wherever they observe an en croachment, they touch it with a javelin, and down the tree or building must come. But on the same day there is a Saturnalia ; servants and masters are on a perfect equality, and every man, down to the very chimney-sweeper, has a right to salute any woman he finds in the streets or roads. This year, which is the 30t h , the Eng lish ladies were so shocked at the contemplation of such freedom, that they all locked themselves closely barricadoed in their apartments, but the natives went abroad as usual. SACRILEG E.--On Wednesday evening, the Catholic Chapel in Alulberry-street, Man chester, was entered through one of the win dows; and the Communion Plate, consisting of a silver chalice, plate, and spoon, was stolen from a closet in the vestry, in which it was usually deposited. In consequence of some information conveyed to the Salford Police, Mr. DERBYSHIRE, with his assistants, went to the Bo'too packet boat on Sunday morning, when it was about to sail from Oldfield.lane, and took from it two men of notorious characters,, named Andrew Hannah and George Pickering, in whose possession they found the whole of the stolen plate. With some difficulty they learnt Where one of them had been lodging in Bolton, and, on searching the house, they found an int- MeliSequantityofsilk,cachemeres,and other goods, evidently the fruits of several different robberies, ' Which it is supposed the prisoners had received from the thieves.—Amongst other things dis covered, was a gold seal which was stolen from a young man who was knocked down and robbed near the Salford Chapel, about a fortnight ago. Th e prisoners were brought up for examination yesterday, but were remanded for further evi d p nce.—(Manchester Advertiser.) ITAWICK, OCT. 13.—We had a sharp frost on Thursday morning. Harlsgarth, Carter Fell, and the heights of Cheviot, as also the mountain of Skiddaw, in Cumberland, were covered with snow. YAWL UPSET .—On On Tuesday last, a yawl with two men„ which had gone off from Portle then to take up their parton creels, was some time afterwards found on her side, with her mast and sail in the water ; from which it is supposed it must have been upset by a sudden squall. Both t h e men, father and son, of the name of Craig, were drowned ; the former leaving a wife and family, as well to lament his loss, as that of the . latter sufferer, who was a fine young man of 24 years of age, on the eve of being married. • WESTMINSTER SESSIONS—(Tags DAT). The Grand Jury for the City and Liberties:tit; Westminster being sworn, the trials of traversed cases came on before FitANcts Cossr, Esq., tae Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates. Mr. Montague Leverson was indicted for as, saulting Mary M'Grath, his servant. The prosecutor stated, that the assault took place on the Bth May last, when she not bliuttilig the door as quickly as her master wished, on car• rying up the breakfast things he jumped up and threw her down. Mr. ALLEY, for the defence, at some length rehearsed the impertinances of the servant. The Jury, hov4 ever, found him Guilty, end he paid a fine of 41. to the King. AYLESBURY PETTY SESSIONS. A female spinster from Hatidenham, named- Sarah Sheppard, preferred a complaint against one Thothar: . . Small, of the same village, for an assault. The fact alleged' against the said Thomas Small was, that he entered the com".. plainant's house on the 6th of September, and accused her of telling stories of him ; and then struck her, and attempted to drag her out of the house, but was prevented. The Magistrates told Small he had acted vary improperly, and seemed to expect that he would, as most persons do in such cases, make some sort of defence or apology for his conduct, but nothing of the kind was forthcoming. Sir G. LEE—Are you not sensible that you have acted • gaily?—No, I be not. Don't you think that it is illegal to strike a woman ?—She scandalized me first. • Sir J. D. KING.—But you have no right to take the law • into your own hands ?—I only buffeted her with my small, clothes : I was airing them by the 'fire, and she injured me to do it. And for doing so you are liable to be sent to the tree& wheel ?-1 know better than that. Sir G. LEE.—You ought to be ashamed to assault a poor infirm woman, as this appears to be ?-14ord bless you, 1 be . ten times poorer than she : she robbed her poor father and mother, and took her stays an ay. A female, who accompanied the complainant—,Pleaae your, Honours, what he says is not true. • •• Sir G. LEN.—That has nothing_ to do with the present.:— Then you try me first, and we'll that there after. Be persuaded that you have no right to take the law into your own hands.—Why I've no peace for her; I've served in your army 1.5 years, and yet I'm pit to be with her. Should not you be sorry to be sent to gaol ?—Yes, I should. Sir J. "D. KlNG.—Then go out and settle it ui h her, or you will be sent to the tread-wheel. As a soldier you ought to know better than to strike a woman. Small said he had lived with the complainant's sister fifteen years, and was proceeding to say something more, but the Ma. gietratea stopped his oratory by telling him that if he did not, settle Vie affair, he would be sent to the tread-wheel. Thz parties then retired, and we understand that Small made his peace shit the complainant by a douceur of 10s. CAPTURE OF ANOTHER BURGLAR..--A fellow;. having in his possession a complete set of house breaking implements, was last night taken in :an uninhabited house in Stanhope-street, Clare market, adjoining the house of Mr. Lamb, pawn broker. There have been no less than sixat- tempts made in the parish since Sunday.—The , prisoner was this day examined at Bowstreet, and committed. • ThE MURDER NEAR BURY.---We believe that nothing has transpired since our last, in the neighbourhood of Bury, relative to the dreadfat murder at Birtle-cure-Bamford ; but a man named ' Ralph Weston, who, we believe, is implicated by some disclosures made by- Diggle, was appre hended on Sunday in the ne4 , ,libourhood Of Keighley. We understand that, on the iNlenday" after the robbery, NVeston (who is a cotton=spin, tier by trade, and was once apprentice with Sir , R. Peel) applied in his real name,at the t - ctary of Messrs. John Knight and Co. near Keighley,W here he obtained work as a carder: but he had not remained there many days before some expres".' t ' sions which fell from him excited suspiciot s the minds of his employers, that he had fled, from justice ; and towards the end of last week, from his knowledge of the neighbourhOod of the town of Bury, aiid of persons who had resided there, he became suspected as one of the murderer,s. On Saturday, a perusal of the Leeds illocui# (which contained a description of tbe persOn •ef Westcn, who wa3 said to have absconded' from Bury), convinced Messrs. Knight and Co. that their suspicions were well founded ; the personal appearance and dress described belle; pre'cisely those of the man in their employ. They Cense:- quently had him apprehended on Sunday, and he was brought over to Bury yesterday. We un derstand he does not deny his intimacy Diggle, and admits that lie was with him for se veral days before, and until three o'clo(k of the day when the murder was committe,l, but says that,he did not see him afterwards. lie :has not as yet, undergone any examination ; bat we h. lieve the only evidence against him is the decla ration of Diggle, which, if unconfirmed by other testimony, will be, of very little value.—Olan• - chester Paper.) lIIFL/mmATIO7i OF GAS.—On Tuesday night last, about half-past ten o'clock, as several coal. heavers were playing gambols %a jib etch other, opposite the bar of Mr. GILBERT'S wine -vaults, Picket-street, Strand, one of them jumped on a table, and endeavoured to light his pipe by the gas burner. In doing this, he knocked down the glass protector, and some bottles, filled with brandy, which stood on the shelves of the window. The bottles breaking, their contents fell over the gas light; produced a Sad den and violent inflammation, burst through. the glass, and set fire to the window-frame, which continued to burn with rapidity, and threat ened destruction to the house, until a quantity of water was thrown on it, by which means it was' at length extinguished. The coal heaver, who was the cause of the accident, had . his tarry smock-frock set on fire,and was running about the shop, in flames.. One of his companions, how ever, came with a pail of water, and threw it over him, when he fell on the floor, and rolled himself about, while his' sable assistants were fanning him with their large hats to put out the flames, Having succeeded in this, .they stripped off the dress of the burnt man, who was dreadfully in jured all over the shoulders, face, and - hands. He was in great pain yesterday morning, and still lies in a very precarious situation. FOUND DROWNED.—The body of a middle aged woman was yesterday picked up in the Thames, near Execution Dock, and conveyed to Wapping hone-house. The 'deceased was dressed in a cotton gown with red spots, and had a wedding ring on her finger';' l ' Frans the condition of the body it is supposed*g_iist have beet, one or two days in the water, - I
