In the Cit y, there is a marked difference from the 4s Pect of affairs last week--very little bustle, /1(1 comparatively, no great extent of trans 4ctinfts in the Stock Exchange. From most "Ile of the country accounts continue favourable, th r egard s the apparent stability of Banks—hut Peri o d of private embarrassment is evidently aPi ' r "ching. The immense mass of hills which cannot be duly honoured, without the accustomed kecornmodations from Bankers, must inevit- , 41,1 y occasion serious difficulties. This, however, Will not affect the Bank of England—on whose extent of issues nevertheless depends in a great measure, the extent and the duration of eNontercial embarrassment.

Music.—The friends of Signor DE Braxxs were again much gratified by a repetition of his musical con versaztone on Sunday evening last. A variety of new pieces were performed, which, in addition to their novelty in this country, had the recommendation of being most admirably ex ecuted. The quintette " 'Oh quardate che accidents " was ex ceedingly well performed, and was also a new quartette ot . GUGLIELMI, a repetition of which was demanded. The Misses CawsE joined most effectually in a duet by 13xsuor, as well as in some of the various quartettes, &c. Mademoiselle F. MAnnioNl, although evidently suffering under the effects of a cold, executed with considerable skill a very difficult duet with DE BEGN is the vocal, part of which we understand is arranged by the latter. It was highly applauded, and we be lieve that the compassionate feelings of the audience alone pre vented an encore. We have on previous occasions noticed the rising talents of this young lady, and have no doubt from the judgment which she manifested on Sunday evening, that she would be a valuable acquisition to the King's theatre. We were altogether much pleased with the Soiree, and are grati fied to find DE BEOHIs dedicate the only evening of relaxa tion from the duties of his profession to the private amusement of his friends. Yesterday morning letters were received in London from the Duke of Cambridge, at Hanover, dated the 4th instant, when the Royal Duke, the Duchess, Prince George, anti Princess Augusta of Cambridge, were in the enjoyment of good health. The Duchess of Glocester was to leave Brighton yesterday morning, and her Royal Highness was expected to reach Bag shot last night. The Duke of Glocester is expected to leave Tamworth Castle. Prince Leopold arrived at Marlborough-house yesterday morning from his residence at Claremont. His Royal Highness left town in the afternoon for Ashbridge, Hertfordshire, the seat of the Earl of Bridgewater. P 0 E 'f R Y. VIE DYING MAIDEN TO REEL LOVER. They tell me, Love, that I must die, That soon this faint and quivering breath lust fail, e'en thy dear name to sigh, And pause in death. Oh ! joy to think a spirit And bruis'd like mine, shall pass to peace, Then let thy sorrows all he hush'd, Thy murmurs cease. The ball which strikes the wounded bird, The storm which fells the blighted tree, Are blows dealt forth by Mercy's word, Lo ! Death to thee. Heed not the idle tongues, which tell "I' was thou that form'd an early tomb, 'Twas lov'd for life too well, And wrought my doom!! Be gay—forget—task pleasure's pow'r To furniSh days of sunny glee, I would not shade one passing hour, With thoughts of Thee. And yet to be forgotten quite ? No, no !--thy poor, fond girl, would fain Be sometimes summon'd to-thy sight, And love again. Let Memory's glass give back my form, Such as when firsti pledg'd my truth, With health and joy and feeling warm, And fresh with youth.' I would not now that Thou should'st see, My hollow eve, and faded cheek, Nay chide not 'Woman's vanity, Nor call me weak. Your Picture, and the ring you gave, Close 'gainst my heart are firmly clasp'd ; The Miser yields but to the grave, The gold lie gratp`ti. Because I wildly o'er them wept, They hid my treasures from my eyes, But I had mark'd the spot and crept, And found my prize. I bore my idols quick away, They since have slept upon my breast, And never from that home shall stray, Till all's at rest. Remember that my dying kiss Upon thy pictur'd semblance fell, My sight grows dim, my all of bliss, Farewell—farewell! GERTRUDE. Mrs. WEBSTER, the unfortunate gentlewoman whose grandfather had married into the family of th e Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, and had de clined a legacy of 00,0001. in favour of that family, called at THE Sux Office this day s to assure us that we were misinformed by the author of the paragraph that appeared in our Paper of Saturday last, which stated that the present Duke had settled a provision on her, as she is still in the same pitiable condition as when her case was first presented to the Public. She speaks of the Duke and his family with all possible re spect, and requests we will add, that, far from wishing that her case should be known to the Public, she stated her unfortunate condition in a private letter to the Lotto MAyon, that it might net be communicated by the Gentlemen who re port for the Newspapers. Her persuasion is that her applications to his Grace have never reached the hands of the illustrious Nobleman, as, from his well-known benignity, she might otherwise reasonably have hoped that his Grace would have felt an interest in her misfortunes. Having inserted the paragraph alluded to, we feel bound to contradict it, upon the authority of Mrs. WEBSTER, and as the Duke is highly and justly esteemed for his kind offices in the neigh bourhod of his princely residence in the North, and for his general benevolence, we are inclined to infer that his Grace cannot have been fully apprised of the melancholy state of this unfortu nate Gentlewoman, who,from what we have ob served of her, seems to be deserving of a better fate.

On Saturday the Pnontssoit of ANATOMY at this Institution delivered his sixth and last lecture for the in struction of the students. Ile regretted that the limited period assigned to his lectures obliged hint to treat his subject in a more superficial way than he wished ; but he would propose, as a-compensation, the admission of the s t u d e nt s t o hi s s chool of anatomy, where every opportunity should be affurded them for the prosecution of their study. Mr. GUEEN then proceeded to discuss the muscles of the fore-arm and hand. lie dwelt par ticularly on the structure of the thumb, and remarked how won derfully that member of the hand was adapted by its strength, and facility of movement, for the execution of the most labo rious as well as most delicate kinds of workmanship. Before he , entered on the muscles of the lower extremity, the Professor took a cursory glance of those that run along the spine up so the occiput, which he remarked are strongly expressed in the neck of the Farnese Hercules, and give its remarkable breadth and fulness. These muscles, he further observed, served to make the neck of the bull, the stallion; and the wolf, so full and large. In the lower extremity the most remarkable muscle was the gluteus; indeed, he considered this muscle one of the most prominent features of the human form. Why, he asked, should it be so large in man ? It furnished one of the strongest evidences in support of the opinion that man was designed for erect posture, since its only use was not to carry back the kg, but it was also a primary agent in preserving the body in its upright position. In all the monkey tribes this muscle was comparatively very diminutive, and those animals could not stand erect for any length of time. The erect posture was with them a forced one. Mr. Green next went over the mus cles of the face, describing their different action, and pointing oat the influence the passions of the mind exercise over their forms, and the consequent result in expression. He observed, that with regard to expression, the artist should depend on actual observation, and industriously collect materials for his study front nature herself. He dwelt on the power of the will over the features, and pointed out the general character of in telligence peculiar to the human countenance. It was no ob jection to this observation, he said, that there appeared in the Australasian savage such a brutish and vacant expression. Ile was not the represemtive of the genus, but of a pardeitlar family of the human race. Still, in the midst of all this bru tality, the essence of humanity was seen gleaming through a troubled medium. The professor adverted to the varieties of expression in the human countenance. There was one general form ;, and the difference in the portraits of the greatest and • the wisest, exhibited merely so many different declensions in the character of man. In alluding to propriety of expression, he referred to the story of the young Greek actor, who having to perform the character of Agamemnon, came before the audience in a bold and C onfident style, with a lively step and elevated head. The audience were enchanted, and loudly ap plauded him. A solitary hiss alone was heard, and this, to the surprise and indignation of all, proceeded front the teacher of time new actor. The audience insisted on his immediately per ' forming the part himself. This the old actor complied with. and came on the stage with a slow step ; his arms folded, his eyes cast down, and his head reclining on his breast. He soon made the spectators recognise the true personification of the leader of the Grecian forces, on whom the hopes of his country rested, and taught them to distinguish it fawn the rant and fury of an Ajax proceeding to battle. Mr. Green's lecture., a few points of which we have given above, was at its conclusion loudly applauded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STATE or TX' ODDS.—' DEI lETTING-ROOM, Dac. 19.

Tomlinson, the celebrated runner, made a bet of 100 soy. that he would go on foot from the extremity of Brighton, to the Quadrant Coffee-house, Re gent-street, (63 miles), in ten hours. The pedestrian accom plished the first 20 miles, to the entrance of Tilgate Forest, a few minutes within three hours, and proceeded on to the 26th mile-stone, and halted. He laid down for a short time on straw, in a covered van which accompanied him. He reached the summit of Ryegate Hill in four hours and a half, having five hours and a half to do the remaining 22 miles in. Air. T. timed himself at rather more than four miles an hour ; took half an hour to his mutton-chop dinner at Tooting, and won the match leisurely, with ten minutes to spare. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.—T ER ENCE'S Comedy of The Andrian was played for the third time last night. His Royal highness the Duke of Yon= honoured the company with his presence. He sat immediately under the proscenium ; on his left sat the Lord Bishop of LONDON and the SPEAKER of the House of Commons. His Royal Highness, on his entrance, was received with the most enthusiastic cheers, the whole house standing. He seemed in excellent health and spirits, and se veral times during play evinced much delight at the classical exertions of the young Gentlemen, who all appeared to exceed, if possible, their former efforts upon this occasion. The side boxes were filled with Ladies of distinction and fashion.

It is more unaccountable, as the whole of the hair stolen would not fetch two shillings, and the damage sustained is estimated at fifty pounds. KEAN is playing at New York with great suc cess. His apologetical and supplicatory letter completely allayed the excitement against him. At the close of the second day's play he came forward and begged pardon for his past conduct, and assured the Howe they should have no future cause of complaint. The opposition entirely died away in a few evenings, and the Theatre was nightly crowded with ladies. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 19. POUCHET v. COURTOIS. 3/ r. HEALD appeared for the defendants to dissolve the in junction which had been granted in this case. The defendants are the daughters of a Mr. Courtois, who had left to them a sum of 300,0001., of which they were to take equal shares on their attaining; the age of 21 years one of them had attained that age, and share had been duly transferred to her. The second had also attained that age, and her share was about to be transferred in the same manner, when the transfer was in terrupted and prevented by the motion of the plaintiff, who ob tained a conditional order for an injunction and an account.— The ground of that application was a pretence on the part of the neat of kin to prove that the father of these ladies was, at the time of making his will, of unsound mind. There never was a more wicked conspiracy against natural and obvious right than the petition. There could rot be more gross malice and more unprincipled slander than those with which the bill was supported. Mr. HORNE, for the plaintiff, admitted that they could not support the injunction. The Loan CHANCELLOR accordingly directed that it should be dissolved. IN TILE MATTER OF MABSITAND CO.'S BANK. An application was made for the order of the Court to enable Messrs. Stracey and Graham, of the firm, they having received their certificates, to appear as witnesses on a trial now pending in the Common Pleas. Their evidence was essential to the cause, and their personal interest in the question had entirely ceased, although they were formally defendants. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that if their evidence was necessary, and there were no legal objections to their evidence besides, the circumstance of their being defendants should be no obstruction. LADY ANION :+. ];BRITISH MINING COMPANY. The particulars of this case were given in a former number. Lady Anson had taken shares in certain Cornish mines, of a Mr. Thomas. some of which she purchased, and others were held as security for money advanced to him. The condition upon which this case turns is, that by the deeds, the plaintiff was to hold the shares free from any further demand, for the ex pence of working the. mines. Mr. Thomas parted with all his interest in the mines to the defendants, who had called upon the plaintiff for her quota of the expencea of working under the new management, overlooking the conditions upon which her lady ship took the property of Mr. Thomas. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved for an injunction to restrain them from working the mines, and also to prevent them from proceeding against her to compel a forfeiture in the Stan nary Courts. Mr. SUnDEN supported the motion. The Loan CHANCELLOR again threw out, occasionally, doubts as to the legality of the company formed by the defend ants. He asked if the property had been conveyed to them by Mr. Thomas, and was answered in the affirmative: had the Company declared a trust for the management? They had not. It was not very clear in his Lordship's mind that the bill could be entertained, and that there was not a positive defect of parties, as there were only three of the parties before the Court, out of a far more numerous company.—Fcrther hearing was postponed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 19. This being the third Seal, his Honour the Vicx-emorcEr.- LOR was all day occupied in disposing of motions, none of which contained anything of public interest. The motions of course were so numerous, that his Honour, being unable to get through with the entire, was obliged to post pone the remainder of the Seal till te-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dire. 12. WILCOX AND ANOTHER V. MARSHALL. This was an action on a policy of insurance effected on a bottomry bond, and underwritten by the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. PATTISON conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. CAMPBELL that of the defendant. The insurance was on a German trader from Havre.de-Grace to the island of St. Sebastian. After leaving the former place the vessel encounted a heavy gale, and, making for the lish coast, put into Dartmouth. She had received some in jury, and in consequence underwent repairs, when, a ft er being examined and passed as sea-worthy by the under writer's inspector, she set out again for St. Sebastian, and was lost. Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendant, contended, that the cir cumstances under which this vessel was lost were very suspi cious, and such as to induce a strong belief that it never was intended to sail her to St. Sebastian ; but that in point of fact, she was a smuggler, and that the real purpose was to land her cargo somewhere on the English coast. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, told the Jury that he thought the evidence for the plaintiff did not warrant the inference contended for by Mr. Scarlett. Verdict for the Tlaintiff—Dainages, BIM LLOYD V. ASHBY, ROWLAND, AND MAW. This eras an action on a •bin of exchange for 1121. accepted by the defendants, and indorsed to the plaintiff. Mr. MA RRYAT and Mr. Sr EPHEN conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. SCARLk:TT that of the-defendant. The plaintiffis'a machine-maker; the defendants are engre yers in Lombard-street. The plaintiff had made a machine for Rowland, father of Rowland, the partner in the firm of Ashby and Co. ; he wanted payment for his machine, and Rowland the elder offered him a bill drawn on Ashby and Co., which he consented to receive. Mr. SCARLETT, for Mr. Shaw, contended that as against him the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, inasmuch as he • was e dormant partner at the time of this transaction : that the plaintiff did not, therefore, receive the bill on the credit of Shaw, and that the Bill was given for a consideration, in which Shaw did not participate. Mr. MARRYAT, in reply to this, cited the case of Taylor e.' Ridley, 5 East, 171. The LORD CHIET JUSTICE was of opinion against the plaintiff on the point of law, and thought that as the credit had not been given to Mr. Shaw, and as he had received no part of the consideration, he was not liable to this action. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dxc. IL 'ANIL IN THE MORNING CHRONICLE. TRINSARI V. CLEMENT. Mr. TINDALL opened the proceedings. The declaration stated that the plaintiff hail been appointed Ambassador Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Chilian Go vernment to Europe, and specially to this country, with powers to raise a loan for the benefit of Chili—that he had raised a loan by the assistance of Messrs. Hullett, Brothers, and Co., and that the defendant, knowing this, had published a wilful and false statement of the same, representing, that an untrne ac count had been given of the revenues of Chili. The defendant pleaded first, not guilty—and secondly, a justification as to part of the libel, that the plaintiff was in collusion with Messrs. Hul lett, Brothers, and Co. with intent to defraud the people of this country. Mr. Sergeant VAUGMAN stated the case to the Jury. He said that the plaintiff's chief object in bringing the action was a vin dication of his chatacter from tlgt obloquy thrown upon it by the libel published by the defendant. If the imputation had been slight he would not have noticed it, but as the matter stood, he felt it imperative on him to clear his character from the very gross aspersions and calumnies under which it la boured. There were two or three modes by which this could be done, or.e was by criminal information, which would prevent the defendant front putting any justification on the record, but the plaintiff chose rather to clear his character and public con duct to the world, and therefore chose a civil action, which would give the defendant every means to substantiate his as sertions if true. The Learned Sergeant then stated that the plaintiff had been accredited to this country from Chili at the time it was battling for independence, and emerging from the galling yoke of Spain—that they wanted support in money— ' and that every thing tending to throw discredit on their views, or those of their agents, must be prejudicial to the cause of freedom ; and that, therefore, their exertions to obtain inde pendence ought to be viewed with a friendly eye by a people to whom freedom was dear, and every thing connected with the dawn of liberty in other countries. The defendant had artfully and insidiously published the libel under a comment on the speech of Mr. Canning on the affairs of South America, and it might thus be mistaken as the opinions of that Statesman. The libel was published on the 23d of July, 1825, and was in sub stance that the plaintiff had raised a loan for one million ster ling, in collusion with Messrs. Hullett and Co., by falsely re presenting that the revenues of Chili were four times as large as the interest of the loan—that the plaintiff had gone to Paris with 200,0001. of the money, which he converted to his own use, and there lived in greater splendour than even Royalty it self. The Learned Sergeant then commented ion the scan , dalous tendency of the libel, and its injurious consequences to the plaintiff, observing, that the loan had been made in 1822, and that it was not till three years afterwards that the libel ap peared. He then explained the manner in which the money had been expended, saying, that the Government of Chili had ratified the loan, and highly approved the conduct of the plain tiff—whose object in bringing this action was solely to clear his character—not to obtain large damages. Don Garcia Del Rio, examined by Mr. TrwpaiLL—l was Under Secretary of Chill, I am acquainted with plaintiff Don Jose Antonio Vrissari. 'We came over here in December 18/2` He came as Minister Plenipotentiary. Mr. Sergeant TADDY objected to this question, because there was no appoin tment proved. The CHIEF JUSTICE thought it was sufficient if he acted as such. Examination resumed—He acted in his own country as 111i_ sister of Foreign Affairs. (The appointmetu of the plaintiff to this country was then put in.) That is the seal of Chili. By Mr. Sergeant TADDY—I am sure that the State of Chil has a seal, and this is it. By Mr. TINDALL—That seal was used in 1818, and em ployed in sealing public documents. Mr. Sergeant TADDY objected that the State of Chili was not recognised then as a State. The Loan CHIEF JU STICE did not know whether it was recognized now, but hundreds of states now existed in the world, that were never recognised by this country, yet they were legitimate states, although they might never b e recognized. They were treated as legitimate states, and if their Kings came to this country, they could sue as such. Examination resumed—.l was acting as Under Secretary of State in 1818. Don B. O'Higgins was Director then. The document I now bold was signed and sealed by the President O'Higgins, and another Member of the Government and all other public documents were signed and sealed, in the same manner. It was a republican form of Government. It had Courts of Justice and Laws, which were submitted to by the people. Cross-examined—Two provinces and a half were governed by the republic. The other half was under the Government of Old Spain. There was a hot war raging at that time. Inde pendence was declared in 1818." No part of the two provinces had a soldier belonging to Spain. There was none of the people publicly in the cause of Spain. The great majority of the people obeyed the Republican Government. The interest of the Chi_ Tian loan was paid regularly. Mr. Sergeant TADDY objected to the evidence as regarding the existence of the state of Chili. The appointment was made in 1818, before the Republican Government had established itself. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that many Governments existed which were not acknowledged. He wasof opinion that the rule was this. Where a body of people had assembled to gether, and were able to protect themselves, and acted under laws ands code of established justice, they were to all intents and purposes &state, although they might never he recognised by other Governments. Ile was, however, ready, and eves willing that the question might be reserved and discussed before the Court. By Mr. Sergeant TADDT—O'Higgins was afterwards de.. posed by General Frere. I saw the Spanish General, Bens rides, that went to overthrow O'Higgins, afterwards hanged.— (Laughter.)—He had done the same to many patriot persons. After some further observations touching the existence of the Republican Government in Chili, The Loan CinEr JUSTICE said, that the best way would be to reserve it for the consideration of the Court. Mr. John Behn—l am a Notary-public; I produce some powers from the Government of Chili; I deposited them in the Bank of England, from which I took them out now. Mr. Garcia del Rio recalled—These instruments produced by the broker were signed by O'Higgins. The powers were then read. They were the appointment of the plaintiff as Minister Plenipotentiary, and empowering him to raise a loan, &c. Mr. Sergeant TADDY took an objection to this, on which The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that if a person from an unaccredited Government, came to this country to raise a loan, lie should consider that loan illegal; but not so where the parties were recognised. Mr. Charles Octavius Newman was subscribing witness to the contract for the loan; he saw the deed executed. Mr. Behn stated that he was subscribing witness to the mort. gage of the revenues of Chili, for the payment of the loaa. It was dated 21st May, 1822. The witness also proved one of the Chili Bonds. 31r. Andrew Bellon—l am Secretary to the Colombian Le.. ration. I was present when these bonds were signed in Paris. I don't know to whom they were bonded over. I cannot say from what funds the dividends were paid. (There was here . put in a dispatch from the Chilien Govern ment, acknowledging and confirming the loan made by the plaintiff, and exonerating Messrs. Bullet, Brothers, and Co. from all responsibility.) The appointment of Mr. Hullett as Consul for Buenos Ayres was also put in and proved. Mr. Charles believe that Mr. John Hullet, my partner, has not acted as Consul for Buenos Ayres. He had no communication in my presence with the Government of that country. Cross-examined.g never heard the plaintiff say that the revenue! of the Chilians were 14 times as great as the interest of the loan. _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Hullett—l have not signed anydocuments as Consul for Buenos Ayres. I have had a communication with the Secre. tart' of State for Foreign Affairs as such. I have had two ap. pointmcnts—one was forwarded to me under cover from the- Foreign Office. The LORD Cxizr JUSTICI said, that there must be a proof of the existence of the Government of Buenos Ayres. • Mr. Garcia del Rio said, that he had been then fora month, and that there was a Republican Government established there, having laws, &c which the people obeyed. Mr. Hullett said; that he had bad frequent dispatches from Buenos Ayres, all bearing theism/ seal—that was the only way he knew it. Mr. Sergeant Ara t? anew said, diatench-knowledge was the, same as persons knowing- the iusod writing of others by receiving letters from them, The Loßn C nun!. Jurricit admitted .this. 1 1 Don Garela del Rio._ said, that he had been appointed so. transact public business with the (government of Buenos Ayres, from Peru and Chili. Peru wax then in a state of war. Cross-examined by Sergeant TADDT—I was not present in , any of the Courts of Justice in Buenos-Ayres, but I was in the Chamber of Representatives. It was admitted that the defendant was the proprietor of the _ _ . . Morning Chronicle. - The libel was here pat in, and read by the officer of the • Court. Another number of the Morning Chronicle, of the 14th of December was proposed to be read, but was objected to on ag-- •• count of its not having been legally proved to have been pub.. fished by the defendant. A clerk of Messrs. Hulletts proved that the sum of (174,0001. was raised by the loan, about 62,0001. of which was retained by the plaintiff, and the remainder was appropriated to the ase of the Government of Chili. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant TADDY objected to the plaintiff's case; first he contended that some proof ought to have been given of any acceptance by this Government, of the parties who said they were appointed Consuls. The Loop CMIET JIIITICE overruled this objection. - Irir. Sergeant TaI)DT then objected that there was not any proof of the negociation of the bonds of the Ckili Loan in this country, on the ground that there was not any stamp affixed to the only bond of the loan produced in evidence. The bond was in consequence here read, after which his Lordship was of opinion that the bond did not require a starry, , but reserved the point for the opinion of the Court. A witness, named John Myers, was called by Mr. Serjeaat _ TADDY, but he did not answer; he was then called on his subpcsna. Mr. Serjeant TADDI rose at two o'clock to address the Jury, for the defendant; and, the Loan CHID' JUSTICE having recapitulated the evidence, the jury retained a verdict foe the plaintiff—Damages 45W. The following paragraph appeared in the Mr— , mingham Gazette of yesterday : Our , Correspondent's letter of last week (dated from the Royal Exchange of the 12th inst.) contained a paragraph s , ra n fleeting upon the credit and responsibility of Mr. flastutT, of Princes -street, London, which, in fall reliance upon his usual accuracy, was inserted in our Paper accordingly. flaying, however, since ascertained that there did not exist the slightest ground whatever for the report, we take the earliest opportuAtty of contradicting it, and of regretting that we should have inad. vertently been the medium of giving publicity to so unfounded statement."—EDlT.a „,. 11011 RID BARBARITY.—On Wednesday morn ing a fellow was driving an ass cart en the banks of the Irwell, below the New Bailey in Salford. The animal, whether owing to the weight of the load in the cart, or to the bad condition of the road, stopped, and notwithstanding the severe blows of its master, remained stationary. At length, finding that beating would not answer his purpose, the fellow went to a place in the neighbourhood, procured a quantity of shavings, and set fire to them under the animal's belly. The poor creature writhed under the torture, but was still unable to proceed : when the wraeh who owned it, assisted on this occasion lry another barbarian, actually procured a second supply of shavings, and again set fire to them as before. At length the ass, stimulated by the pain it was enduring, got the cart into motion and was driven away. Our informant saw the transaction from the opposite side of the river, and at too great a distance to admit -of.hia either recognizing the fellows engaged in it, or interferfit to stop their cruelty ; otherwise we should not have had the mor tification of concluding an account of conduct of tbis.tort by the statement of their having escaped us punished-4MA« Metter Guerdion.) •
