It is stated that a spacious brewery, capable of the most extensive trade, may now he obtained, and affords a singular opportunity of carrying the intention into effect without loss of time. 1-141T151 1 MINING AS , iOCIATION.-Under the above- title it is proposed to raise a capital of 40,0001. in Shares of 60/. each, for working by means of steam-engines Mines in Cornwall, which have been abandoned or worked to great dis advantage from the want of capital by the adventurers. It is stated as a well-known fact, that many val ua bl e Mines of Tin, Coppt2, Silve r , Lead, &c. from the above cause, and from the want of proper machinery, steam-engines &c. have been only worked b y whims and light water wheels' of insufficient power to make the undertakings profitable ; and in some in stances, when the holies have been worked to, the adventurers have been obliged to abandon them. Arrangements have already been made for working certain Sets, which upon the erection of steam-engines, returns are immediately expected. To re munerate the projector of the Company, and as a remuneration for those arrangements, the shares are to be issird at I per cent. premium per share; the arrangement tolbe made known Previously to application for shares. The Company will be under the management of ten Directors, seven of whom are to reside in Lendon, and three in Cornwall. We uederstand that this remainder of the Brazilian Loan, to the amount of two millions, has been contracted far by Messrs. BARING, IRVING, and RoTII,CHILD.

T !Ili day at eleven o'clock a very numerous meeting of the Magistrates of this county took place in their room at the Sessions house, Newington, to elect a Chairman of Quarter Sessions, in the room of their late worthy Chairman, THOMAS HARRISON, Esq., deceased. Among those present were Florence Young, Esq., High Sheriff, H. Hohne Sum . ner, Esq. M.P. for the County, Sir Thos. Turton, Gen. Thorn ton, Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Sumner, jun., Mr. Hedger, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Maberley, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Allan, and Mr. Johnson. At twelve o'clock, the election having fallen on - Scriven, Esq., the Magistrates entered the Court, which was very much crowded, in consequence of its being expected that the j following important questions would be discussed. • Mr. Maberley's motion fol. the better warming and ventilating the county prisons. Mr. Denison's motion for a revision of the prison regulations, in consequence of Mr. O'Callaghan's case. Mr. Briscoe's motion to exempt women from working on the tread wheels. Mr. Denison was absent in consequence of the lamented death of his nephew, Lord Mountcharles. The Chairman having taken his seat, commenced the usual routine business of the Session, and the Grand Jury were sworn. ARGYLL ROOMS.—The first Masqueraade for the present season took place last night in these Rooms. There was a great abundance of visi tors and an unusual variety of characters, many of which were supported with great spirit and humour, but none with such prominent merit as to demand any particular notice. As there were many genteel carriages in waiting, it may be inferred that a part of the corn. pang were of a better description than has attended this species of entertainment for some time. Good humour seemed to prevail to a late hour, partly arising from plenty of wine and the substantial refreshment of a good supper.— These Rooms are peculiarly calculated for Mas querades, for as there are so many of them, the scene is perpetually changing, and curiosity al ways kept in motion. A great part of the com pany seemed likely to prolong their revels, dancing, &c. &c. till a very late hour in the morning. GEORGE BA RN WEI.T..—It is not generally known that the thatched house in Camberwell-grove, many years in habited by the late Dr. LETTSOM, was the place where the catastrophe happened, upon which Imam founded the popular tragedy of George Barnwell. Amongst the Dundee burgh accounts recently published there is a carious item of disburse ment :—" Fur Whipping Alexander Webster, 371. 10s. 6d. ;" very nearly a pound per lash ! CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. - A hell, which weighs more than 18,0001 b., has been discovered at the depth of 70 feet, in a valley of Mount Jura. It is imagined that a Convent or Church has been ingulfed at that place. Nothing but the bell has been yet met with. The search continues. Mr. STORES, Chief Justice of the Isle of Ely, met with a serious accident on Saturday last, whilst shooting in his brother's grounds, by the bursting of a powder-flask, which lacerated his hand to such a degree, that amputation of the thumb was deemed requisite.—(CountsChronick.) P 0 T R Y. CHRISTMAS OUT OF TOWN. ( From the New Monthly Magazine.) For many a winter in liilliter-lane My wife, Mrs. Brown, was not heard to complain At Christmas the family met there to dine On beef and plum-pudding, and turkey and chine. Our bark has now taken a contrary heel, My wife has fbund out that the sea is genteel, To Brighton we duly go scampering down, For nobody now spends his Christmas in Town. Our register-stoves, and our crimson-baited doors, Our weatherproof walls, and our carpeted floors, Our casements well fitted to stem the North wind, Our arm-chair and sofa are all left behind. We lodge on the Steine, in a bow-windowid box, That beckons up-stairs every Zephyr that knocks; The sun hides his head and the elements frown,—. But nobody now spends his Christmas in Town. A t Brighton I'm stuck up in Donaldson's shop, Or walk upon bricks till I am ready to drop; Throw stones at an anchor, look out for a skiff, Or riew ti t: chain-pier from th e t op o f t h e c liff: Till winds from all quartors oblige me to halt, With an eye full of sand, a nd a mout h f u ll o f sa l t. Yet still I am suffering with folks of renown, For nobody now spends his Christmas in Town. In gallop the winds, at the full of the moon, And puff up my carpet like Sadler's balloon ; My drawing-room ruz , is besprinkled with soot., And there is no t a locK in the house that will ithut.. At :tiahytnet's steam-bath I lean on my cane. And murmur in secret—" Ah,Niter-lane !" And would not express what I think for a crown, For nobody now spends his Christmas in Town. The Duke and the Earl are no-cronies of mine, His 3lajesty never invites me to dine The Marquess won't speak, when we meet on the pier, Which makes me suspect that I'm nobody here. If that be the case, why then welcome again Twelfth-cake and snap dragon in Billiter-lane. :Next winter I'll prove to my dear Mrs. Brown, That Nobody now spends his Christmas in Town.

The great match for 500 sovereigns, of Major Bonvcrie's fast trotting mare, good at 17 miles, in one hour, on saddle, took place yesterday, round the mile circle, in Ashstead Park, in harness, with feather weight. The mare was matched to trot, carrying any weight, 27 miles in two hours. At this season of the year it was greater than that performed by Tra veller, and previously by Giles's Lightheel, of Leadenhall market, both of which did twenty-eight miles in two hours, with time to spare. The start took place at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was the finest timed race, perhaps, ever seen. The ground was crowded ; betting 5 to 4on time ; some hundreds the stakes. The miles were performed as fol lows, and we give the time to shew the nicety of the stride of the mare :-- Ist mile 2 - 3 4 - 5 . (1 - 7 - M. 8. - 4 10 - 4 11 - 4 9 - 4 8 - 4 12 - 4 7 - 4 9 . - 4 10 - 4 11 - 4 10 - 4 9 - 4 8 - 5 40 M.

The mare had more than 14 minutes to spare on the match ; but th e groun d was rat h er under the mil e , an d the day perhaps was better than one se lected in the sprin g . The m are did h er miles to a few steps, and never once bre, for she cannot gallop. Young Scott, of Bury, drove her. In announcing to our readers that the Gold Cup for our Races in September next is already liberally subscribed to, we feel great pleasure in congratulating our racing friends on the prospect of having the race-course very much improved pre vious to the next races. Our present bailiffs, Messrs. Good man and Freeman, have already made considerable progress towards filling up the hollow, and reducing the hills in the rac ing ground, the sharp descent of which has for many years been seriously objected to by gentlemen who keep race horses, and has hitherto in a great. measure prevented th em f rom b r i nging their best horses hem, from the great danger there was of their breaking down in running. , This obj ection removed, we hope to see better sport in future, which, we have no doubt, will in duce a greater attendance of the Nobility and Gentry of the country, and consequently produce greater patronage to the Races generally. As the above most desirable improvement is to be effected by a voluntary subs cr i pt i on, should the funds raised prove sufficient, it is the intention of Messrs. Goodman and Freeman, to make further improvements in the course, and we trust they will be liberally supported in this laudable un dertaking. Among a 4umber of other subscriptions, we have the pleasure to say, that Captain Maberly, one of our represen tatives for the town, has very handsomely subscribed five guineas towards the improvements int en d e d to be made by the above gentlemen.—( Northampton Mercury, Jan. ff.) CORONER'S INQUEST. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH. Yesterday evening an Inquest was held at the Bull, Little College-street, Westminster, before the Coroner for Westminster, on the body of- Samuel Walker, journey man baker to Mr. Gooding, of Little Parliament-street.— T. Davies said, that about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, as he was about to go up the steps of his master's shop, (Mr. Ginger, the books e ll er i n C o ll ege -street ) , t h e deceased called t o hint, saying, " Davies, look at my leg ; take me to the nearest Doctor's." The deceased's right leg was bleeding profusely; the blood covered the pavement, and ran Into the kennel. Witness led him to Mr. Stevens, the apo thecary, in Wood-street, only two streets off; the leg bled all the way, and, on getting into Mr. Stevens's house, they proceeded to remove deceased's trowsers, when they per. ceived a large bandage, from under which the blood flowed vio lently, so as to fill a large bowl in a minute or two. The de ceased said, " It's of no use; it ' s an old rupture: I am a dead man." These were the only words spoken by the deceased, after having called to witness to assist him to a doctor's. Mr. Stevens observed to witness that it was of no use undoing the bandages, the poor man could not live; and, in about two or three minutes after he was taken into Mr. Stevens', lie died. Witness was not aware that any accident had happened to the deceased ; he did not say that he had slipped, nor was any person near him. He had two baskets of bread, one in each hand ; but whether he had suddenly strained himself in lifting them, witness could not tell. Mr. Stevens was next called, but he did not appear. It was stated that he was too ill to be able to attend, and that he was confined to his bed. Mr. Stevens is an edgily and rather infirm man. The Jury having expressed their desire to know something more of the old wound, or of the immediate cause of such extraordinary sudden death, after the deceased had walked to the apothecary's, it was communicated that the deceased's brother was at the doctor's. He was sent for and requested to attend, except he felt that it would be peculiarly painful to him. Thomas Walker attended, but was evidently greatly afflicted with the calamity that had so suddenly befal len his brother. He stated the origin of the bandage. About three or four years ago, while living with Mr. Greig, at the back of the Bank, he strained his leg, as he was aiding in re moving some sacks of flour. Nothing was thought of the acci dent at the time ; but as the part of the leg which had sus tained injury continued to swell, Mr. Greig directed him to go and have a physician's advice respecting it. The phy sician directed hint to have a twelve-yards' bandage folded round it, and to be careful of the place, because if any thing happened to it again, the result would be fatal.— Nothing more was heard of it till last Twelfth-cake Night. . He was then at witness's house, in Gray's-walk, Lambeth, and while amusing himself (the deceased was not 2(1 years of age) with running round the counter, he said " he had hurt his leg, but not much." From that period he had heard nothing more of the accident, and lie had not seen his brother since, till he be held him in his present sad state.—(The witness, also a young man, was again greatly affected.)—The Jury said they had no doubt of the death resulting from the rupture of the old wound ; but they had to regret that th- Medical Gentlemen had been unable to attend to explain the manner somewhat more fully to them, even though the bandage had not been removed.—The Coroner agreed that such evidence would have been satisfactory, especially as the man was able to walk to the doctor's, and died in two minutes afterwards. From what he had heard of medical men, he thought some relief might have been obtained, had a bandage been immediately tied round the deceased's thigh, and thereby checked the flowing of the blood. Verdict— " hied by the visitation of God, from the bursting of a blood. vessel." DREADFUL EFFECTS OF AN EXCESSIVE USE OF SULPHUR. Professor Or.usTrn, in a geological excursion in the county of Wake, North Carolina, met with the following fact which we present in his own words : —" At Mrs. Thompson's, were I dined, I saw a fellow -creature, whose sufferings made me thank ful even for my own imperfect health : He was a son of Mrs. 'l'., and nearly 50 years of age. When I came into the porch, he was sitting before the entrance in an elbow-chair, surrounded with willows, with no clothing but a piece of linen, that came half way down his knees. The ghastly image of death was imprinted on every part of his emaciated frame. The bones of his arms and legs were hardly covered with flesh, and the joints of the knees, and the largest joints of the fingers, were increased to an enormous size. His knees were drawn together beyond the power of separation, shortening the left leg so that nothing but the toes reached the floor. The hands were forcibly and irre moveably fixed to the breast, the distorted fingers being bent backwards, forming an arch over the swollen mound at the joints. A little motion with the ends of the fingers was all the sufferer could produce ; and I was much impressed with the insensibility of limn to his ordinary blessings, when I saw this poor invalid call several times for a servant to come and brush off a fly that was biting his leg unmolested. On his back was a large running sore, which his friends were uncertain whether to ascribe to dis ease, or to the effects of lying so long in a horozontal and im moveable posture. The daily dressing of his sore, which was performed, while I was present, gave him so great pain that he was unable to sit up a moment after it was completed. Three servants took him up with all possible care, and laid him on the bed ; while the excruciating misery which this gentle movement produced filled the mouth of the sufferer with groans and en treaties. Ilere he lay, bewailing his lot in a ►rollow, piteous tone, and crying, " Oh that thou wouldst hide me in the grave, that thou wouldst keep me secret until thy wrath be past !" On inquiring the cause of his Ipfferings, I was told that, three years ago, being afflicted with rTieumansin, he took the advice of a quack to attempt its cure by enormous doses of sulphur. With this view he mixed a pound of sulphur with five quarts of water, and stirring it, took half a pint three times a day, until he had taken six pounds of sulphur. Soon after commenced the pain and distortion of his limbs, which had subjected him to increas ing and excruciating sufferings ever since. —(American Paper.) THE REWARD OF HONEiTY. , 130 w-STartT.—Yesterday a decent looking man, who described himself as an occasional waiter at the principal taverns and coffee-houses in London, presented him self before the :Magistrate, and said he had to ask his advice upon what he thought a very hard - case, He was employed one day last week to wait upon n party ' t the John o 'G roat ' s ,) ' coffee-house in Rupert-street,, Haymar , et, when h av i ng oc casion to go out f or something, the f und on the footpath a pocket book, containing drafts upon an army agent, and upon hankers to the amount of 3.101., together with som e receipts of Praed and Co. the bank ers in Fleet-street. He immediately informed his employer of what he had found, and asked his advice, which was, that he should go to Praed's and to the places were the drafts were payable, and endeavour to ascertain the residence of the owner, who was found by the re ceipts to be a gentleman of considerable consequence. He went to the army agent's, where he learned that payment of the draft upon him had not been stopped, but the agent knew not the address of the owner. At Praed's they told him they did not know that the owner was now in town, but on former occasions he resided at the Albany, Piccadily. The applicant could not find him there, and he went from one coffee-house to another for three days, and at length found the owner at Graham's in St. James's-street. Having been shewn up to his apartment, he informed him that he had been so fortunate as to find a pocket book containing drafts to a large amount, and at the same time hinted at the trouble he had had in ascertaining his residence.-- The owner desired him to hand over the pocket-book, but the applicant, who fancied by his manner that he seemed to think very lightly of the obligation, said he hoped heshould be excused, 1 but he wished first to be remunerated atleast for the loss of time he had suffered in the inquiry. The owner, however, swore he would send for an officer, and actually ordered a waiter to go for one, but die latter perhaps thought it best not to attend to the order. The owner at length said--" Give me the pocket book, and I will satisfy you for your trouble." The applicant relying upon the promise of a gentleman, gave up the book in stantly, and the owner tendered him fire shillings, which he refused to accept, at the same time explaining that his regular earnings at his calling were ss. per day, and that he had lost 3 days in finding him. The owner , however, refused t o g i ve him more, and told him to g o about his business. Sir It BinNIE—I am afraid, my honest fellow, you have no remedy even by civil process, no reward haying been offered ; and I am very sorry it is so. You have behaved like a very honest man, and the owner not like a generous one, and that is all I chose to say of him. You may try the Court of Requests but I am doubtful of the result. The applicant said it was a hard case, and retired looking rather doleful. Sir G.F. Bonham is the owner of the pocket book and contents. POACIIERS.—SeveraI daring attacks have been made this season, by unpreccntedly large gangs of poachers, on the property of Colonel Kingscote, in Gloucestershire. On Monday about forty men, with white h an dk erc hi e f s round their hats, marching in files, drew up upon seeing the keepers and their assistants (about ten in number), and a desperate battle ensued, many of each party being severely wound e d. But though the keepers made a spirited resistance, they were overcome by numbers, and unable to secure an y of the depre dators, who, after the con fl ict, form e d b y word of command, and marched off. At a preceding visit of 26 of this band, a number of them surrounded the house of the head keeper, , whilst the others shot in the preserve immediately behind the house.—( County Chronicle.)

Bow-SritErr—(This Dv.)—This morning a young Gentleman of highly fashionable appear ance, said to be connected with a family of dis tinction, was brought from the watch-house, where he had been confined all night, charged with assaulting two Box-keepers of Drury- Lane Theatre, and thereby causing considerable disturbance. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that the prisoner entered the theatre in a state of intoxication, and calling the box-keeper, he demanded entrance to No. 9 box, which was occupied by a party of ladies and gen tlemen, by whom it had been recently engaged. The prison,.r, on being refused, used violent and indecent language in the presence of the ladies,and began belabouring the box-keeper with his cane, and ultimately attacked them dla Randal. He was with much difficulty taken to the watch house, and endeavoured to make his escape.— The prisoner denied making use of improper language, with the exception of " Damn ye, let we into the box," and his blows were 'so slight, that he a ppealed to the Box-keepers whether the painful effects were very great. He said he was very willing to make reparation. Mr. HALLS— What reparation can you make, Sir, for the insult you have offered to the public : it is necessary that decorum should be supported in our Thea- . tree, and I sh a ll or d er you to fi n d b ail. Ile was committed until they were procured. DISTRESSING ROBBERY.-011 Sunday evening a distressing robbery was committed in the house of a poor woman, named Pitman, in Laundry, yard, Great Peter-street, where the thieves en tered by demolishing the glass and window frames, also forcing the doors. The robbers stole every article of wearing apparel, clean and dirty linen, and completely stripped the bed. Another robbery was twice attempted the' same night on the premises of Mr. IValker, a doctor, residing near Lady Dacre's, Alms-houses, but the villains were frustrated in their design, and the report of some fire-arms in duced them to make a precipitate retreat. DARING ButioLAturs.—Tuesday morning no less than four shops were broken into, viz. that of Mr. Alex ander, grocer, Frederick-strett ; Mr. John Stenhouse, fancy bread baker, St. A n d rew ' s-square ; Mr. Thomas Isbis grocer, Greenside-street, who so lately suffered by the fire ir t High-street; and Mr. \Vin. Smith, watch-maker, foot of I.eh.h Walk. Mr. Alexander's shop had been entered by fo e in the don., and the thieves succeeded in taking away a quantity of groceries, a sugar axe, knife, and some halfpence, besides regaling themselves; they also took a coat and waistcoat. A quantity of lozenges was part of the booty. It is supposed that, in Mr. Stenhouse's shop a person had secreted himself, and when all had retired, opened the door to his confederates_ They also took away sweetmeats there. At Mr. Isbiater's in Greenside-street, the lad was fortunately secured in the shop. Three blacksmiths going to work between six and seven in the morning, heard a noise in the shop as they passed, and on exa mining, found a fellow peeping through a broken pane above the shop door, by which he had entered ; he came immediately ow, heels foremost and made some frivolous excuse of having gone for his hat, which had been thrown into the shop. On being taken to the Police.office, he was recognized as an old offender of the name of Sutherland. From the watchmaker's shop a great number of gold ii Igs, trinkets, and various articles of jewd lery, were carried off; but a box containing watches lucidly escaped notice. Several bad characters have been apprehend,d on suspicion, and on some one of those in custody, lozem es, &c„ similar to those taken from Mr. Alexander's or Mr. Stenhouse's have been found.--( Edinburgh Courant Jan. 8. ) CANTERBURY, J AN. 9.—ln the evening of Fri ' day last, about seven o'clock, the servant of Mrs. TORELY, widow of Captain Tokely, R.N., re siding at Sturry, a short distance from Canter bury, was dispatched by her Mistress upon some trifling errand to the house of Mr. Philpot, about a hundred yards distant, and on her return it is supposed she inclined to the left, instead of proceeding direct to the bridge over the flood gates of the mill, and over which she had but a minute before passed ; the consequence was, she fell into the mill-pool, and was drowned. The water at that time was rushing with great force through the gullets, and created considerable noise; but the girl, who had just received her message, imagined she heard the but supposin g Lt endeav our bc l7a d v y e , ry without ef - i i t i o l ri i g st ii r l e a s t s ed with s ome b oys, t c t r ie iesof moment p e t r h s a o t n water in the fh s e l a i c e st ;b to e:e ik nid : n lo ,fardo f ne u i r t t to h h e e r finci n du o a t t i lli c it e ei . ty of Stour, it is feared it may have been carried a considerable distance down the stream.—(Kent Mereury.) t -
