A — PLAGUE OF EARWIGS.—A row ofhouses recently built in this neighbourhood, have been infested this summer with immense numbers of earwigs. How they contrive to get within doors, and daily to fill up the vacancies in their ranks, occasioned by the extirpating war which is con tinually waged against them, we cannot tell. But so it Is : they actually seem to spring up from the walls and floors, and they set at defi ance all attempts to root them out from their snug quarters. If by a great effort the occupier of the house seems utterly to have destroyed them all, he has little time to exult at his fancied victory, for by to-morrow he sees that the work of destruction has again to be begun ; and large excavations made in the bread and sugar in the presses convince him that the enemy has not been inactive during the night. It is to be hoped that some of your philosophical readers will take this subject into consideration and de vise some effectual method of .warfare, by which ,this noxious animal may 'be driven out from the dwellings or man. --Fife Herald.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1827. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jinx 30. TURNER Y. TURNER. -• -Mr.. SHADWELL appeared_for the plaintiff. The snit regarded the children of a Mr. Samuel Turner, deceased, and their property. The defendant was the guardian of the children, and executor under Mr. S. Turner's will. The suit was instituted for the winding-up of the affairs, and upon its coming on to a hearing, by consent all matters in dispute were ordered to be referred. The COURT dismissed Mr. Shadwell's motion, and granted Mr. Horne's.. MONTAGU V. SMITH AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied nearly the whole of the day in hearing the arguments of Counsel on a motion for an injunction in this cause. It ap peared that the plaintiff had employed a Mr. Peter Hill several years ago to procure *money for him on his personal security. In the course of their deal ings, the plaintiff had put into the hands of Hill two bonds of 1,000/. each, on which money was to be procured. After various transactions between them, it .was agreed that the plaintiff should give Hill a bond for 5,0001., in discharge of all monies old se &Woes that had at any time been between them, and that his two bonds should be delivered up to him to be cancelled. The plaintiff performed his part of thiS agreement by executing and delivering the 5,000/. bond, but never received the others. It appeared afterwards, that the two 1,000/. bonds had been put by Hill into the hands of a Mr. Pritchard, whose executor, one of the defendants of this suit, commenced .an action against Mr. Montagu to re cover the amount. The plaintiff then filed his bill to restrain the proceedings at law, and for an ac count. Au injunction was granted, which, uppn motion before the Vice-Chancellor, was dissolved, and the present application was, that the injunction might be revived. The further hearing of the case was put off till to-morrow (this day.) city and advertised for auction, an immense stock of the articles of which he was the manufacturer. On the day of the sale, he received notice from the Mayor, that he had no right to sell within the city, not being a freeman ; but he persisted in the sale, de claring he had taken the best advice, and was war ranted in so' doing. In support of the defendant's case, several women and poor men proved that they bad t ra d e d w ithi n the city, although they had not taken up their free dom; but, on cross-examination, acknowledged, for the most part, that they were in indigent circum stances, and that the city, after issuing process against several of them, had foregone further pro ceedings from motives of humanity. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN was clearly of opinion, that it would be hard indeed, if the clemency and great forbearance which had been shown by this corpora tion to persons in necessitous circumstances, were to work the annihilation of rights traced'to such ex traordinary antiquity. The Jury found a special verdict :first, that Oxford was an ancient city, having citizens from time immemorial ; 2d, that the custom as alleged in the declaration. was proved, and had been infracted. The moment the verdict was given, the ball from one end to the other resounded with the acclama tions of the freemen ; and when the result became known out of doors, the bells were set ringing, and ribands were seen flying in all directions; and Ox ford is now in a complete uproar. It must be re membered that it is now vacation time. The Assize closed this evening at seven o'clock. Mr. Sergeant PEAKE had previously gone onto open the Commission at Worcester. MIDLAND CIRCUIT, OAKHAM, FRIDAY, Jura - 27. The Assizes for Rutlandshire commenced and terminated to-day. On the Civil side one cause had been entered, and that referred by consent to Mr. Amos, the barrister. On the Crown side there were two for trial. John Baynes . was indicted for sheep-stealing. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good charac ter. He was found guilty, and sentence of death was recorded.—The Learned Judge intimated, that though the prisoner's life might be spared, he should be sent out of the country for life. Willianz Smith was indicted for stealing a mare, the property of John Meadows. The mare, which was big with foal, was taken from the prosecutor's field, at Longhorn, between the hours of 6, on the evening of the 19th of this month, and half-past 6in the morning of the 20th, on which morning the defend ant sold . her to a farmer named Clarke, at Help stone, in the county of Northampton, 22 miles dis tant. He told Clarke, to whom he gave his real name and address, that he had been directed by his father to sell the mare at Stamford fair, but had been unable to do so. He disposed of her for 71., and 8/. worth of straw—The Jury found him Guilty. The Learned JUDGE ordered sentence of death to be recorded; and told the prisoner that if his life were spared, he must expect to be sent out of the country for life. As soon as the aboVe trials were over, Mr. Jus tice HOLROYD set out upon his way to Lincoln, where his Lordship will open the commission to morrow. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—HUNTINGDON, JULY SO. The LORD CHIEF BARON took hii seat in the Crown Court at nine this morning, and after the usual preliminary business had been gone through, proceeded to charge the Grand Jury. The bills against Joshua Slade for the murder of the Rev. Mr. Waterhouse have been just now sent up to the Grand Jury. His brother John Slade has been admitted as a witness for the Crown. With a view, as it would seem, to prevent the possibility of Slade's escaping, the Grand Jury have deferred entering upon the.consideration of the in dictment against him until they shall have before them all the evidence which can possibly be had upon the subject. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, Jux.r 28. This afternoon Mr. Justice Bayley and Mr. Baron Hullock arrived in this city from Ferrybridge, where they met in the morning. The Sheriff of the County, Henry Darley, Esq., and the two Sheriffs 'for the City, 'William Simpson, and James Barber, Esqrs., with their Under-Sheriffs, and - a vast body. of attendants, went out to the Dring Houses about two miles from the city, to meet their Lordships. On their arrival, they immediately pro ceeded to the Castle, where his Majesty's Commis sion of Assize for the County was read ; after which, having gone a short distance in their carriages, agree able.to ancient custom, they alighted, and took seats in the state carriage of the corporation, and proceeded to the Guildhall, and there opened his Majesty's commission for the city. The charge will not be delivered to the Grand Jury until Monday. There are about 60 prisoners in the calendar for trial, amongst whom there are two charged with murder : the one, a father charged with administering poison to two illegitimate children, by which .they died; and the other a charge against a medical professor for selling poison with intent to procure abortion. Although the charge is laid in the indictmen, capitally, it is thought, from the intended effect not having taken place, that it cannot be maintained, and that a bill will be presented, charging an offence not capital. FEVER.—About a fortnight ago, a fever broke out among the servants of the Police establish ment, which has been productive of serious con sequences. One of the officers died on Thurs day, and other five are still in a precarious state. It is conjectured, and with some probability, that the fever was introduced by one of those unfortunate girls who reside in, or frequent the wretched haunts of immorality, dissipation, and disease. By her it was as a matter of course con veyed to Bridewell, and eleven of the prisoners became infected. They were forthwith conveyed to the fever hospital in Canongate, and are in a fair way of recovery. It is to be regretted that this fever still prevails in different parts of the old town. A watchmaker and his wife, who re sided in Canongate, died of it, and were buried on Wednesday last.—Scotsman. MAIL COACH DRIVING.—James Farren and David Neale, the former the driver, and the latter the guard of the Kip'gstown mail coach, appeared before the Magistrate upon a sum mons, served upon them at his instance, in con sequence of improper conduct in driving the mail from Dublin to Kingstown. It appeared that Counsellor Cole, on his way, on Tuesday, to the_ Rock, and other gentlemen, observed ParreriAriving the mail in the middle of the road, at a most furious rate. At the request of the gentlemen who travelled with him, as well as from his own sense of his duty to the public, as a Magistrate, Counsellor Cole very properly had those men. summoned before him, to ad monish them of the danger which would result from this-practice. After severely reprimanding the coachman, he inflicted a penalty of ss. on him---upon giving security for the payment of whit on the next day, he was di sc h ar ged.— Duin Patriot. THE SPANISH INQUISITION. (From Colonel Van Hallen's Narrative.) On the night of the 18th, I again appeared before the Tribunal. I was made to go through all the ceremonies 'and formula of swearing, as on the first occasion. "Do you swear," said Zorilla, " to have told the truth in all the an swers you have given to the Holy Tribunal ?" " Yes, Sir." "Do you swear, as an aposto heal and Roman Catholic, that you have not concealed from the knowledge of the Holy Tri bunal, any person or fact inimical to the Divine Jr human Majesty " Yes, Sir." "Do you swear it upon your Catholic conscience ?" « Yes, Sir." " Are you sure that you have nothing ? Do you require more time to refleat?" " I believe that I have forgotten nothing, Sir." " Well, then, sign." I had scarcely laid down the pen, when the two gaolers approached, and suddenly seizing me, succeeded in spite of my struggles, in binding my hands behind my lick with strong leather thongs, which were wound round my arms from the elbows to the wrists. The fiscal then rose, and read a very long remonstrance, in the name of the Divine Redeemer and of the Holy Tribunal, and concluded by warning • me, that if in 24 hours I did not make a full and complete avowal. of all that I concealed, the Holy Tribunal would declare me guilty of perjury, and proceed in con sequence to treat me as I deserved. To this I replied, that my conscience forbade me to comply with the desires of .the Tribunal ; that to do what they required of me would render me guilty, at the same time, of falsehood and baseness. On hearing this, the President in a fit of impatience dashed his snuff-box on the table ; Verdejamade the sign of the cross, and Zorilla, starting furi ously from his . chair, exclaimed, " Ah, what wickedness ! Well, to-morrow, we shall find a way to untie your tongue. You have twenty four hours to choose between your safety , and your ruin. Gaoler, take him away." And Juanito, pulling me by the end of the thong that hung from my wrist, took me back to my dungeon. Marcellino followed us. Seeing that I was to be left with my arms thus bound, I asked them to give me some water before. they locked me up. Marcellino, who always showed somewhat less inhumanity than his colleagues, raised the vessel to my lips, and said, in a con fused tone of voice, that they were expressly for bidden to speak to me. About one o'clock in the morning, the door of my dungeon opened, and Zorilla, followed by his worthy satellite, Juanito, entered. Finding a standing or sitting position intolerable from the pressure on my arms, I had thrown myself upon the bed ; they made me rise, and murmured at my awkwardness in doing so. I was devoured by a burning thirst ; for, being deprived of the use of my hands, I had, in endeavouring to drink, thrown down the vessel containing the water. The moment I saw my gaolers, I asked them in, a suppliant voice for water. They paid no attention to what I said, but proCeeded to search my person; and after wards my bed, bedstead, pillow, and even my watch. I then again begged for something to drink, imploring them, in the name of religion, charity, and all the Ch ristian virtues, of which the Holy Tribunal talks so much. At length, Zorilla ordered a pitcher of water to be brought, and when .Juanito poured some into a bowl, he said to me, " Drink like the savages of Africa, since you have no more religion than they have." [Colonel Van Haiku underwent another ex amination the next day, though in an alarming state of fever. The result was the same as on the former occasion—denials on his part, and menaces on the part of the inquisitors. It was not till some days after that their menaces were put in execution.] Between seven and eight o'clock in the even ing of the 27th November, Juanito entered my dungeon, followed by four men, whose faces were concealed by black veils, that covered their heads, shoulders, and breasts, in the form of a cowl. 1 was dozing ; the noise awakened me : and when, by the dim light of the lamp which Juanito held, I perceived these four phantoms, I remained lb] some time in doubt if I were not in a dream. They signified' to me to get up, by pulling the end of the leather thong that bound my arms, and without uttering a single word bandaged my eyes with a leather strap. In this state I was led from my dungeon to the place of punishment ; there, upon an order of Zorilla, whose voice I recognized, my arms were unbound. " Listen with attention," he said, in a tone of fury, " you propagator of secret and impious societies —you who have been deaf to those counsels of peace, mildness, and religious charity, which the Holy Tribunal has so often given you. Well, the Holy Tribunal has at length recourse to force the secret from you, 0 perfidious enemy of our holy religion and our Catholic Sovereign—those truths which neither oaths nor exhortations hare been able to . obtain from you. It is the cause of our Divine Redeemer and our Catholic King that we judge ; we shall not shrink from doing our duty, Yes, prepare yourself. Yes, the moment is come. Let justice, truth; and religion, be at length satisfied." At this moment the four executioners approached, and, without giving me time to utter a few words which, the troubled state of mind I was then in would have allowed me to pronounce, laid hold of me, raised me up 'several feet from the ground, and plaCed me upon a kind of crutches, to one of which my right arm was bound in a vertical position, whilst my left was stretched out horizontally : my left hand was then put into an iron glove, very t ig h t at t h e wrist, and from which extended two iron bars that enclosed the . whole length of my arm up to the shoulder, and prevented me from making the least movement. My two legs and the middle of my body were bound in the same manner as my right arm, to the pillars between which I was suspended, so that in a little time all movement but that of respiration was suppressed. When the Tribunal saw me in this painful position, they ordered the various charges accumulated against me to be read. Zorilla, in a trembling voice that. indicated his thirst of ven geance, said, " You have carried on revolution ary relations with the Count de Montijo, the Marquis de Campo Verde, Don Juan O'Do noju, and Don Jose Torrijos ; they have written to you several times—you have answered them ; you had assented to their plans. Is, not this the ease ?" I uttered a few words meant to prove the contrary. " No circumlocution ; yes or no —is not this the case ?" I persisted in my de 94; ...• •, nial. The Iran grove; ~tom con nected with a whop!, Oleri%tightened, and as the movement of die iron bars began to squeeze my arm, I gradually felt, particularly from the elbow to the - shoulder, a most inde scribable pain. Soon after, all my limbs be came convulsed, and a cold perspiration covered my face. The interrogatory, however, was con tinued. " Yes or no—is it not so ? is it not so ?" until I fainted away, and heard nothing more than a confused sound of voices. When I recovered• my senses, I found myself stretched on the floor of my dungeon, and surrounded by my executioners, in the midst of whom my en feebled sight recognized Zorilla and Juanito.— During my state of insensibility I had been heavily ironed. Martyrized as I was, I kept my teeth firmly dosed upon a corner of the collar of my coat to prevent myself from giving utter ance to those cries which the pain I sufrered might have forced from me before those odious beings. Zorilla spoke to me in the most abu sive terms, saying that I suffered more from rage and despair than from anything else. When they quitted me I dragged myself across the floor to my bed. The noise of my chains brought in my executioners at every moment, and their presence was not the least cruel of my torments. Col. Van 'HatHen was not again subjected to torture ; and, after a captivity of 131 days, he made his escape by knocking down .Marcellino, one of his gaolers, and locking him in his 'dungeon. FAST INDIA COMPANY-FREE TRADE. IDOLATRY, AND HINDOO MURDERS. " Whoever is guilty of free trading or free speaking in India is guilty of the greatest crimes ; while the Company carry on with impunity their two great monopolies in that country—one of opium, by which they teach intoxication to the Malays, Chinese and other nations, and on which the profits are enormous ; and the other on salt, by which they deprive the poor Hindoo, who lives chiefly on rice, of the only little relish he can have, for his food, by making out of its forced manufacture the most creel and oppressive process, worse than the flogging of the West India slaves, a profit of 350 per cent. These two monopolies of salt and opium—the one for destroying the comforts of the poor, and the other for corrupting the morals of the rich, added to the taxes or tribute received by the India Company for permitting, and even supporting, idolatrous worship and human Sacrifices throughout India—form, indeed, the chief sources of the revenue of that country, which comes hOrne to be divided among—{two thousand gentlemen]—the Proprietors of India Stock in Leadenhall-street. We think that while the manufacturers of England are pining in want of distant markets, and the philanthropists of Eng land are desirous of ameliorating the condition of the people subject to our distant rule, these things deserve considera tion : these startling facts we think worthy of attention, and shall be glad to see them repeated in every journal in the kingdom, on an authority which we are ready at 'all times and in all places to maintain and support."—Editor of the Sphynx. _ . A Tax on Pilgrims going to Juggernaut was originally levied by *the Mogul Government, and continued under the Mahrattas till. 1803, when the province of Orissa became an integral part of the British Empire. The Marquis of Wel lesley left the affairs of Juggernaut to the priests ; it was not till that high-minded and enlightened Nobleman left the Government in 1806, that the tax_was revived ; it continues with all its.ap palling evils unto this day. The Company re ceives the revenues of the Temple the expences of the table, of the priests, and of the entire para phernalia of Juggernaut, are regularly provided for with a portion of this revenue, the Company pocketing the 'balance. Well might the natives ask " why should the Company destroy Jugger naut ;he is their servant ?" Why, indeed ! ' The pilgrims are divided into four classes, and the rate of charges with all other regulations are provided for by the laws of the Bengal Presi dency. The period for which the pilgrims are allowed to stay in the town, the forms of certi ficate to be given, &c. &c. are all to be seen in Mr. Harrington's valuable Analysis of the Laws, &c. All this may be very well, but the follow ing " is too bad,' - - --a premium is given to the pilgrim-hunter, independent of the tax. Colonel Phipps, lately in command of the station at Pooree, where the famotts idol temple is situated, remarks,—" The British authorities collect from the Pilgrims, and pay the priests and attendants of the Temple a very high premium for enticing Hindoos to this frightful pilgrimage. The pre mium is about one-fifth of the collections. In two months of one year (1822), 5,0001. ster ling were collected and paid to the attendants of the temple, who had brought the pilgrims to the barriers of town." Well done, John Company ! Thou art in truth a faithful master, and Jugger naut is thy veritable profitable servant ! Idola try is established, regulated and promoted by. Britain ; its celebrity is increased by the Go vernment, and by the services of Europeans in the conduct of its affairs. The premium is one of the greatest means of encouraging and promoting the horrid supersti tion. Its effects are now felt so sensibly that the trade of pilgrim-hunter is pursued much more systematically than was before known. In 1822, one man detached to various parts of Bengal Proper 100 agents, and during the two months before referred to, be is said to have o bt a i ne d the premium for 40 00 pilgrims. He now has 100 extra agents for the upper provinces, whom he is instructing.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-OXFORD, JULY 27. WHITE V. WHITE. This was an action by an old farmer, upwards of 80 years of age, living at Beddington, in this county, against his own brother, 76 years of age, residing at Tuncot, to recoier the value of 40 sheep and three calves, alleged to have been sold 23 years ago. The Jury found for the defendant. DoE, ON THE DEMISE OF ROBERTS AND OTHERS V. WHI- TAKER. This was an action of ejectment brought by the lessors of the plaintiffs against the defendant, to re cover possession of a, mansion and three acres of land, being part of an estate called the Bampton Deanery in this county ; and the principal question was, whether the locus in quo was part of an estate called the Hanks' estate, which had been in posses sion of that family so far back as the reign of Charles I. The only incident worthy of observation is the course of the trial was the manner in which the de fendant,'Mr. Whitaker, got into possession of the property in question. The mansion, with the sur rounding estate, of which the three acres was only part, was recently in the possession of Mr. Whi taker, who was heir at law by a former mar riage. The land being copyhold, Mr. Whitaker, previous to his death, surrendered to the Lord, and .a fresh grant was made to certain trustees far his wife. After the death of Mr. Whitaker; Mrs. Whitaker resided in the mansion for a short time, and then went away, leaving a man named Williams in possession for her. The defendant called a few days afterwards, in company with another gentleman, saying he wished to show his friend one of the rooms. Williams, suspecting something, said he would go up stairs with them, which he accord ingly did. After a short time Mr. Whitaker went out of the house by himself, leaving his friend within. Williams's suspicions still continued, and Mr. Whita ker's friend having gone into the garden for a few seconds, Williams immediately locked and barred all the doors. - The gentleman earnestly begged to be re-admitted, but Williams obstinately refused, and went down into the kitchen, thinking'all was safe, but shortly after heard footsteps and some one whistling up stairs. He proceeded to ascertain who it was, when he found that Mr. Whitaker's friend had entered by the drawing-room window.— Williams asked him what business he had there, and how he had got in, ordering him to quit the premises immediately. The friend 411eged he would not do this, as Williams had locked the door, and wished him to open it, Mr. Whitaker having by this time returned. Earnest solicitations were made for Williams to open the door; and, after much discussion, to the no small surprise of Williams, Mr. Whitaker's friend produced the key, unlocked the door, and let in Mr. Whitaker. Some furniture was afterwards brought, and from that time to the present, Mr. Whitaker had continued in pos session. He claimed as the rightful heir-at-law of his father, the late Mr. Whitaker, alleging that the mansion-house and three acres of land in question were not part and parcel of the ancient estate called Hanks estate. The Jury found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court above on these points. Thomas Birch was indicted; charged with having on the night of the 4th January last, broken and entered the house of. William Pegg, of Islip, and stolen therefrom a quantity of shop goods; and Mary Smith was 'indicted for having received the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. CROSS conducted the case on the part of the prosecutor, and, in detailing the evidence, observed that as the principal evidence against the prisoners would be elicited from an accomplice, unless the Jury were satisfied that his 'testimony was sufficient ly corroborated by other circumstances, they must acquit the prisoners. The prosecutor identified the different articles as his property, lost on the night of the robbery. The prisoners, in their defence, said they could prove the property to be theirs, if they were in London. • Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE having summed up, the Jury found the prisoner Birch guilty of the burglary, and Smith guilty of receiving the goods, blowing them to have been stolen.' Both Courts sat from half-past eight in the morn ing till half-past ten at night. SATURDAY, JULY 28. This morning, at half-past eight o'clock, Thomas Birch and Mary Smith, convicted last night, the one of stealing and the other of receiving certain goods stolen from the house of Wm. Pegg, at Islip, were put to the bar to receive sentence. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, after commenting on the enormity of their offence, ordered that sentence of death should be recorded against Birch, and sen tenced Mary Smith to be transported for 14 years.
