Having disico vered a namesake in Holland, he corresponded with him. The following is one of the letters he wrote to him : 44 ARETILTS SIBRANTIUS TALINIA, AT ENGEVIRUSIp: IN FRIESLAND (HOLLAND). Paris, June 15,11322. SIR—I had the honour to receive from you, only eight days ago, a letter, dated February last, with two copies of your Thesis, M. Marren has also sent me a third copy, on your account. lam very grateful for your obliging attention, and I beg you to accept my sincere thanks. " I do riot know, Sir, and it would he difficult to ascertain, if you and I have sprung from the seine source. It is now more than fifteen years since, being in Holland, I learnt that there were in that country some families of the same name as mine. My family lived chiefly at a place six leagues from Cambrai, in French Flanders. It is not, however, the first time that my name has occasioned inquiries 'concerning my origin on the part of foreigners. It is now about forty or fifty years ago since a son of the Emperor of Morocco, being at Paris, and hear ing the name of my uncle mentioned, went to him to inquire if he were not of Arabic origin. Since that period a merchant from one of the maritime towns of Africa, whom I saw at Paris in my youth, asked me the same question; and I could no more give an answer to. the merchant, than my uncle could to the son of the Emperor of Morocco. M. Langles, a celebrated Orien tal scholar, and the friend of my youth, told me 'at that "period, that in fact, Talma, in Arabic, signified in trepid, and it was one of the appellations employed by the Arabs to distinguish the different bramilies of the same family. You Will be sensible, Sir, that such an explanation must have made me very proud, arid I have constrn , tly exerted myself not to derogate. Unfortunately, having given myself up to the culti vation of the arts, I have never had an opportunity of proving that this name justly belonged to me. In short, I suppose, avording to these explanations, that a Moorish family remaining in Spain may have embraced the Christian religion ; and removed from this kingdom into the Netherlands, then possessed by the Spaniards, and thence, from some circumstance, went and established itself in French Flanders. " But, on the other hand, I was told in Holland, that our name had a Dutch termination, and that it was frequently met with in that country. This fresh explanation overthrew the fine structure of my ima gination, and sent me at once from the sands of Africa to the pastures of Holland. It is you, Sir, who, speaking Dutch, can decide better than I can, if we originate in the north or in the south, if our ancestors wore a turban or a hat, if they invoked Mahomet or the God of the Christians. " I forgot also to tell you, that Count Mouradja, who resided a long time in the East, and who has written a work on the religious system of the Orientals, quotes a passage from one of their authors, which tells us that the King, or rather the Pharaoh Fourtlf, of Egypt, who drove out the Israelites, was named Talma. He was' a great rogue, this King, but we.mitst not look too close when -we 'ean - say we,sprting from so illustrious an Origin. You see, sir, that there is .not a single German Baron, with the 16 quarters, nor even the Kings of the four quarters of the world, who can boast of Solegitimate and high an antiquity as our family. I regard the honour to be much greater, however, my dear Sir, to be related to a man so dis tinguished by his learning as you are, than to be de scended from a crowned head. I hope, Sir, that you will inform me if you think that, in fact, our name is rather Dutch than Arabic. In either case, -Sir, I congratulate myself sincerely that I bear a name on which you have conferred honour ; and I flatter myself, that some day a favourable circum stance will procure for me the advantage of meeting you, and to form a more intimate acquaintance with you, whether I go to Holland or you come to Paris. Yours, &c. " TALMA. " Reu St. Lazare, No. 56, Chaussee-d'Antin."

The same animal once, hearing some noise under its cage, passed its paw through the bar, and actually hauled up the keeper, who was cleaning beneath ; but as soon as he perceived he had thus ill-used his master, he instantly laid down upon his back, in an attitude of complete submission. *74. 4 •AT , • ,, T ? . . ~ , • ... „., ~...e. , • i ~.-...... ../ ' .'.- • fit- . ~ ' n Ago*-- .-; • 1. 7 ITh ' - , ~., , . , - . , -- r •. , . , , , . . , , 1.:1; P I '' • 0 •"` ' ~ r. - - 'or?., s' '..-', ..-`;;': • ;, ..0 - • ..,, ,-- - 40 , •,-.., ~.,\-•,,„ ...e";; ... - ~• \1,, , 1 tt ; ,,,,,: -...k i ,..., ; , . ‘, , -. 11:-.: , ...-.- '.,• , --- _ . „7 - ---......... : , A• . • ' i'2, '• V .47 ' .t . 47 ' .. ..........................._ ,3 ' t : . 11 -10- Y V44.::,.:...,41 / 4: ' ' 112 . 2 ' 3 . 4 0 A ''' 0 IT' io:.‘' 1- - - -7 6 - x77IIum.T , rIILTAI , , , -..• __l SIR GREGOR MAC GREG OR.

BALL V. JONES, CLERK'. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for false imprisonment. The defendant is a Clergyman, and a Magistrate for this county, and pleaded—first, that he was not guilty ; and second ly, that he had tendered a sum of 101. which sum was a full and adequate compensation for any damage which might have been sustained. -Mr..CAMPBELL stated the. ease, which was one,, he said; that, ,looking to the station of the defend ant, he was sorry to be compelled. to lay before. them. 'The plaintiff was a boy of the tender age of 14 , years, and was in the service of a farmer, named Bennett, by . whom, in company with another lad, about four *years older 1:lin linnself, he was sent to drive the rooks from off a newly-made wheat rick. After performing this duty they wandered to about Ibilf a mile distance, and happening to stumble upon a hare which had been caught in a wire (laid by some other persons), they took it, but had hardly so done before they were pounced upon by two of the Duke of Beaufort's gamekeepers, and taken to a public house, and there detained for the night, and the next morning conveyed to the Reverend Mr. Jones's house, at Wickuar. A charge of poach ing was then preferred against them both, and without their being confronted with their ac cusers, or being allowed to hear the informations made against them, they were convicted by this Reverend defendant, and sentenced to undergo each s i x months' imprisonment, in default of paying a fine of 10/. each. After they had been in Horsley gaol about a fortnight, their friends interfered in their behalf, and a professional gentleman was employed, who discovered that the commitment was informal, and consequently illegal. A Habeas Corpus was consequently moved for, and the boys having, after suffering six weeks' imprisonment, been brought be fore Lord Chief Justice Abbott, were discharged, on the ground that the offence, being a joint one, the commitment ought only to have been for three instead of six months. The imprisonment having been thus declared illegal, by no less authority than the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, an ac tion was commenced by his client for false imprison ment, and in stay of that action a tender of 101. had been made; but, as he should be able to prove that independently of the injury which the plaintiff had sustained in his character and in his person by this mprisonment, Itt had further incurred an expence, n obtaining the Habeas, , of upwards of 20►1., he trusted the Jury would, by their verdict, declare him to be entitled to a far larger sum. Mr. Winday, Governor of the Horsley Gaol, pro duced the warrant of commitment under which he had received the plaintiff on the 11th of December, and detained him till the 21st of January, when he was moved by Habeas Corpus, and discharged by the Lord Chief !ustice. The plaintiff was kept on bread and water during the first month, and after wards was allowed oatmeal porridge for breakfast, and a pound of potatoes for dinner. He was con fined in his cell from sun-set to sun-rise; the cells are all solitary. Cross-examined—The diet and confinement was ' not in consequence of any directions given by the defendant ; he knows the Rev. Mr. Jones, and can undertake to say that he is nearly 80 years old. David Goodman was next called, for the purpose of proving who the wires were set by, and that it was not probable thelaintiff or the other boy had any concern therein.' Mr. Chivers—ls attorney in this action, and was also the attorney by whom the Habeas Corpus was sued out. The expences altogether, including his charges, amounted to 441., of which one half was charged by him against the plaintiff. Cross-examined—He was himself once convicted by the present defendant, and paid the penalty ; he afterwards brought two actions, one he allowed to drop, and on the other he recovered one shilling damages; for the transaction with respect to these boys, he has brought four actions, two against the Rev. Mr. Jones, and two against the gamekeepers. Mr. LOFTUS and Mr. BUXTON, both professional Gentlemen, gave it as their opinion, that the charges contained inNi:. Chi vers' bill were fair and reasonable., Mr. TAUNTON replied. After consulting for about two minutes, the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages Twenty - eight Pounds, being 181. for the expences of the Habeas, and 10/. for the false imprisonment. James Galavin stood indicted for the manslaughter of James Butt, one of the constables of the parish of Cheltenham. On the 15th of August, the prisoner and another man were seen in Cheltenham, and were insulting and pushing about every person they passed. Several constables, in consequence, were sent after them, who, after watching them some time, t oo k them into LONDON, custody; CaSties, and the deceased took hold of the prisoner, who went with them for about one hundred and fifty yards tolerably 'quiet, when he made a sudden spring, and said he would be cursed if he went any further. The deceased still retained his hold, and the prisoner seized him by the neckcloth, and pressed his knuckles against his windpipe,: and so held him for nearly a minute and a half. On the prisoner being disengaged by another constable, the deceased staggered to a paling, and there stood with his head leaning over the palings. He afterwards 'recovered a little, and by supporting himself against the back of the prisoner, contrived to keep up ivith them about one hundred yards, and then fell down on his back, and a noise, as of the rattles, instantly issued from his throat. His comrades took him rip, and conveyed him to an adjoining house, where., in four minutes afterwards, he breathed his last. A medical Gentleman, who had examine& the body of the deceased, shortly after his - death, have it as his opinion that, death was produced by apopexy. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN expressed great astonish ment at this opinion, but the witness persistdd in maintaining it. He admitted, however, that he, had not opened the body. T4e Learned BARON summed up, and left it for the. Jury to say•whether, as men of common sense, they could believe that the death was produced otherWrid thin by the violence of the prisoner. ThTe".:Tury instantly found him " Guilty." The Learned BARON said, no one could doubt the propriety of their verdict ; and had the prisoner been indicted fur murder, be should not have hesitated to have left bim for execution.—His case was a most aggravated one, and the sentence of the Court, tipon him was, that he be transported for life., Thonzas Gyde stood charged with assaulting Hannah West, with intent to commit a rape. , The prosecutrix, a woman of diminutive stature, and evidently in a very weakly state, deposed that she was a single woman, and was .53 years old. On the 2d of August last she was at work along With the prisoner, in a field belonging to his fatheri, at Painswick. About 5 o'clock in the evening, While the other labourers were gone to another part of the field, the prisoner pushed her down, and attempted violently to accomplish his purpose. She screamed and called for assistance as loudly as she could, and is sure sonic of the labourers must have heard her. He continued his violence upwards of half an hour, and during the whole of that time she kept scream ing. At last Sarah Protst came up the ladder to her assistance, and the prisoner then left her, and swore he would kick the ladder down on which Sarah Prout was standing. Sarah Prout jumped off the ladder, and the witness ran to it, and got down it as fast as possible. The prisoner had hurt. her greatly by his violence. Sarah Prout stated that she was coming from her work, and heard the screams full twenty minutes before she reached the rick; they sounded like those of a person in great distress ; when she first got up the ladder, the prisoner was in such a situation as left no doubt as to his intention; the prosecutriX ap peared dreadfully agitated, and the tears ran down her cheeks, in quite a stream. The prisoner said, he only intended to have taken a kiss.—The Jury instantly found him " Guilty.," The Learned BARON . told him he had been Owl victed on satisfactory evidence, of a most aggravisted misdemeanour. His face was perfectly familiar to him, for be remembered well the circumstances and man ner in which he escaped at the last Assizes. He could hardly have believed a man could have been guilty of such brutality ; and as to the Persosis' in the field, if they did hear the screams of the unfortunate woman, he knew of no language sufficiently strong to express his disgust at their dis gust at their conduct. They were a disgrace to their nature, and were unworthy of the name of men. Had he (the prisoner) effected his wicked intent, he should certainly have left him for execution. The sentence of the Court was, that he should be impri soned two years, and kept to hard labour. Wm. autterbuek, a man upwards of 70 years of age, was convicted, on the clearest evidence, of an assault, with a crimal intent, on a child only ten years old, and was sentenced to two years' imprison ment. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, SErr: 3. James Thompson was indicted for stealing, at Ormskirk, a gelding, the property of Robert Brad shaw, on the 20th of January last. Bradshaw, a livery-stable-keeper at Ormskirk, deposed, that the prisoner came to him and hired a horse on the morning in question. The prisoner said he came from Wigan, but did not give his name, neither did he, the witness, ask for it. The prisoner left an umbrella, saying he should not want it. He did not bring back the horse, and which the Witness never saw again, nor did he see the pri soner until the June following, when he was in custody. The prisoner, in his defence, handed up a written paper, stating, that he was a native of Scotland, without friends or money ; he was 56 years old, and had served his King and country 18 years. He was under General Whitelock at Buenos Ayres, and wounded there. He was then un der Sir Thomas Picton in the Peninsular war for six years, and wounded many times : once at the storming at Ba dajoz, and onee at Vittoria. He was also at Ciudad Rodrigo and Toulouse. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, if a man hired a horse with the intention of taking it off, that was a theft. If at the time of hiring he intended to return it, bnt after circumstances made him change his mind, although liable in a different way, he was not guilty of the felony, But in that case it was the duty of the person charged to satisfy the Jury that he did intend to return the horse at the time he hired it. Verdict—Guilty—Death recorded. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said to the prisoner, as to that offence his life would be spared, and he would make inquiry about the truth of a written character the prisoner had handed up. We understand there is another charge against the prisoner for a murder, for which he will be tried at Chester. _ James Hurst and George Clough were indicted for burglariously.entering the house of John Buckley, at Oldham. Mr. Justice BAYLEy summed up, and the Jury, after five minutes' deliberation, found Hurst Guilty, and acquitted Clough. Hurst was then, with four other men, put to the bar for the burglary in Shaw's house. This trial was pending when our despatch was sent off. ACCIDENT BY A STEAM-GUN.—Last eve nin CY at seven o'clock an Inquest was held before Th b omas Shelton, Esq., at St. Thomas's Hospi tal, on view of the body of Alaxander Bracken ridge. By the evidence of Mr. John Penn, en gineer, at Greenwich, who saw the accident which caused the man's death, it appeared'that the deceased was employed on Mr. Perkins's new invented steam-engine for the purpose o f dis charging bullets ; about three o'clock on Friday last, he was working the pump to fill the gene rators—that by some means the two pistons be came disjointed, which was the cause of steam getting into the machine ; this made the valve rebound, and part of the engine flew with im mense force against the eye of the deceased.— He was immediately conveyed to the Hospital, w h er e he lived but a short time. Verdict— (' Accidental deati POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday a number of exten sive wholesale warehousemen, resident in the Ward of Bread-street, waited upon the Lord Mayor upon the sub ject of the numerous nightly robberies which have lately been committed in the City ; and requested that his Lord ship would use his influence to effect such an improvement of the City Police as might afford effectual security to the property of the citizens. One of the applicants said, "We arc in the most dreadful state of alarm. My premises have been broken open twice. If there is not some very important alteration made in the Police, it will be impos sible to live in the City ; there is no security now what ever." Another said, "We are obliged to barricade our lenises, and even then we are not safe. Our houses, in fact, are snore like garrisons than dwellings." The Loan Mavoit recommended the gentlemen to apply by memorial, to the Court of Common Council, and added, that a Committee had. been appointed to inquire into the state of the Nightly Watch, who had agreed on a Report, Which was to be presented to the Common Council the next Court day. The gentlemen departed apparently with the intention of following his Lordship's advice. Within the last four years eight respectable houses in Bread-street Ward have been broken open. One of them was robbed of goods to the amount of 1,6001. An extra ordinary discovery respecting one of those burglaries took place a short time ago. The owner of the house that was robbed had some time previously failed, but his creditors finding that his conduct had been marked by integrity, ac cepted a compromise. The house was robbed. The un• fortunate bankrupt was unable to make his payments good, for he was stripped of every thing. Some of his neigh bours hinted that the robbery was self-co'nnsitted. The calumny was believed until the house of the notorious Ikey Solomons was searched, and, amongst the goods found, there was part of the property which bad been stolen from the premises of the injured man. BOW-STREET.—James Ducks, the driver of the Sunbury stage-coach, was charged with assaulting Mr. W. West Timbrell, a corn-merchant. Mr. Timbrell, having occasion to go to Hampton, got upon the coach which is usually driven by the defendant; but which was then under the care of another man, who was employed to drive the coach from the office in the City to Piccadilly. On the coach arriving at Piccadilly, the defendant mounted the box, and ordered Mr. Timbrell to quit the coach, as the coach was booked full, and he had passengers to take up. Mr. Timbrell told him that the former coachman had told him there was room, or he should not have got upon the coach, and he remonstrated with the defendant, but to no purpose; for the latter seized hire by the collar, and would have pulled him off the coach, had be not descended. _ _ _ The defendant said, that he thought he had a right to remove Mr. Timbrell, because his coach was booked full at the office in Piccadilly, from whence the coach started. Sir RICHARD RIRNIS said, that as the first coachman had told Mr. Timbrell that there was room, and had per mitted him to take his seat, and had afterwards driven him to the coach-office in Piccadilly, it was rather too much to say he (defendant) had a right to remove him by force. He ordered the defendant to find hail to answer the charge at the Sessions. The defendant agreed, finally, to advertise an apology in the newspapers for his conduct to Mr. Timbrell, and that gentleman consented to drop proceedings. WORSHIP-STREET.—Several hours were consumed by Mr. Twyroan, in the investigation of a case, in which practices were imputed of a natu re so d ee pl y i n i qu itous, as to excite a mingled feeling of disgust against the wretched perpetrator, and of humiliation for the outraged dignity of human nature. The person a ccuse d was a man w h o ap peared from thirty to forty ye ars o f age , an d th e p r i n cipal e vidence against him consisted of the testimony of his two daughters, the one abo u t s i x t een , t h e ot h er an intelligent looking child, apparently of nine or ten years of age , both of whom, it IS understood, have sustained in their, own Per sons the melancholy effects, and furnish inconsistible proofs of their miserable parent's bestiality. The wife of the man and other witnesses were also e xamined. The hearing was conducted with closed doors. The small-po ow very prevalent in Lora don and its environs. (CONCLUDED rami OUP. eArit. !PIT TTTETST4.I" LAST.) The Guaco:plarit is found indigenous in the neighbourhood of Maraginta, as well, as in the hot and temperate parts of the vice-royalty of Santa Fe ; and thrives singularly well on the margins of rivulets and in damp places. The plant, as above noticed, has been called Guaco, a name that was found preserved by tradition among the negroes, froni whom the. communica tion was received ; but its genus is not yet deter mined in botany. Its root is fibrous,.and extends in every direction. It is a species of creeper or bind-weed, and its climbing and adhering shoot is round when young, but angular when old, and set with apposite leaves ; these are green, intermixed with purple, smooth below, rough above, and somewhat hairy. The flower rises four petals like a crest, is yellow, flosculous , ana l . are seen in each calix. In the inside .oft he tassel of the flower, which is dented, arc ts.:e stamino united to the apices. These, which are cylindrically shaped, surround the style, and contain long and bristly seeds. Although as a preservative, it was at first sup posed .unnecessary to innoculate with the juice of theGuaco plant, under an impression, that its effects on serpents aroseout of the disagreeable smell the plant emits; it was nevertheless found, that the mode usually practised by the negroes possessed some peculiar advantages, and that in like man ner as the virus of the small pox, introduced by the smallest orifice into the system, affects the whole mass,of the . blood, this also might have some strong communicative properties; which yen -; dered innoculation more safe and efficacious. The juice operates as a powerful anodyne, and creates in the patient a copious perspiration. When the cure has been performed, in the manner above described, the native empyrics nevertheless, say, that it is advisable to continue the dose five or six times, during the successive month, lest any of the venom should be lurk;ng behind. The repetition of the aforesaid process, moreover, tends constantly to maintain, in the humours of the body the strong effects of ti : . lisrb, which operates as a shield against future poison, even though, at the time of being bitten, the p l a nt should not be at hand to rub the wound and re new the dose. They further add, that the cu rative virtues of the plant subside, if the same precaution is not used at the next increase of the moon ; when it again becomes necessary to be inoculated by the hand of the empiric. This, haw , ever, is held out-from, no other than interested views, as the curing of serpents' bites among the negroes is still a kind of trade ; and both dis tinguished botanists and physicians have hat ample and frequent proof that the remedy and antidote are alike permanently efficacious. In fact, by the way of experiment, serpents have been handled long after the monthly period of inoculation had passed ; though it is strongly recommended, in cases of trial ) that the,person should prepare himself half on hour before the serpent is taken into the lanai, by a dose of the fresh juice, and previously rubbing his hands followed jtielee hbiay,creating with o t s ae c a c kr e il s s ny d. opointed fdisgust, ot or whether whetheri a_ is n with the leaf ; a practice that has been frequently The experiments hitherto made on this sub the effluvia of the plant which acts, on the rep agreeable sensation is communicated that lulls it, and makes it forget its natural malignity. It has, however, been noticed, that on spittle, iinpregnated with the juice, being cast on th© head of the serpent, it appears to become drowsy, notwithstanding it was before in an irritated and restless state ; whereas, when handled by the person who had been previously prepared, it is uneasy, and evinces a wish to escape. A con siderable quantity of the juice being poured on two serpents, it was observed, that the sensation of stupor was not very durable, for, after the lapse of a short period, they recovered their ac customed vigour, and were as active as before they had been sprinkled. The Guaco plant is now applied, as a cure for the bite of all kinds of serpents, by the Spanish physicians in the tropical provinces of South America. In those of Venezula and Ca raccas, its use is become so general that it has been planted and reared on all the large estates ; i w s o o r s k rr i i n ed t w he ith fie t l i d ie s m , i s n m os all se ca a l n a y ba na sl i i and every morning, when the labourers go out to s f o o f r t u t he juice hap pens to any of the people. As before observed, the Guaco plant, although not in use for more than thirty years, has been found to possess sovereign virtues, and to coun teract the poison of all the snakes and serpents peculiar to the Spanish Maim : and experiments to this effect have there been made can the Taya, as before-mentioned; the Coral, or coral snake ; called so from its red colour ; the Cascabel, or rattle-snake ; and a green one, found near the city of Giron. Indeed, no greater proof of the powerful effects of the plant 'in question can be brought forward, than the case of the rattle-snake. The bite of the latter is both violent and grievous; nevertheless, this remedy has proved efficacious to persons in the agony of death. liven bederi‘.eaThis plant might be of the greatest service in Europe, and deserves the notice of the ra tional philanthropist, and the expe r i me nts of the public schools its s virtues , reliefmi e once establish ed, would render the plant an object of trade ; ands ] essentialforlosmofthmisedaincine. to the ills of the human frame. •en experi ments already made have proved, that cellent vermifuge, and the 1 . pecu iar bitterness of the plant corroborates the fact. It is also stomachic and tonic.
