DESIRABLE ESTATE, WITH A FREEHOLD QUALIFICATION. The Estate of TEANINICH will be exposed to Sale in the month of OCTOBER next, on a day to be afterwards named, within the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edin burgh, if not previously disposed of by private bargain. THE Estate is mostly situated on the shore of the Cromarty Frith, in the most improved and beautiful district of the County, surrounded by the richest and post diversified scenery, and combining advantages for residence and improvement not surpassed in the High , - lands of Scotland. It is intersected by the Mail-road, at nearly equal distances from DinAwall and Tain, and bounded,on the east for a considerahle way'by the River Alnesvand on the west by the Lands of Novar. It has a southern exposure, and consists of rich Arable Land, pro ducing early and abundant returns of Wheat, Barley, and other crops, and the Salmon Fishings as productive. About four miles north of the Low Country Estate, is situated Hill Grazing Kenlochanastrone, which to both the Agriculturist and the Sportsman, forms a very desirable appendage. The Lakes and Rivers on it abound with Char and Trout, and the hills with Grouse. The greatest part of the property is in the natural pos session of the Proprietor, in the highest state of cultiva tion, and enclosed with substantial stone dykes and hedges, interspersed with clumps and beltings of plantations. The Mansion House is spacious, recently built, comprising four public rooms, 26 feet by 18, and 20 feet by 18 ; twelve Bed-rooms, some having dressing-closets attached ; Shower, Hot, and Steam Baths, with abundant supply of water and other conveniences, with servants' accommodation and cellar age, and contiguous are Wash, Laundry, Dairy, and Brew houses, supplied with water; also an Ice-house. A delightful Shrubbery cbnnects with the Garden and Hothouse, which are surrounded by a high wall, and for an abundant supply of choice and early fruits are not surpassed by any in the county. The Farm-offices consist of Coach-house, Sta bling, Thrashing, and Meal-milns by water, and every ne cessary convenience, besides a large Store-house at the sea shore. There is also connected with the Mains Farm a Distillery on an extensive scale, with Malting-barns and Kilns, capable of malting 1,500 bushels a-week, and could be extended at a small expence ; the water is abundantly supplied, and rises to the height of the coolers ; an excel lent Malt-miln„with machinery for pumping, and an ex tensive Peat-moss belonging to the property. The Dis tillery being detached, could be separately let. The thriv ing and rapidly extending village of Bridge-end is partly built on the Estate, and having an inexhaustible Quarry of excellent Freestone adjoining,, cannot fail of adding pro gressively to the value of the property. The Estate is now under survey, and is supposed to con tain about 3,000 imperial Acres, of which 567 are Arable, and 177 Planted Wood, 130 of the Plantations are up wards of 25 years old, and all very thriving. The present gross rental of the whole is estimated above 1,0911. ster ling, besides what will continue to be obtained from the thinning of the woods, and without any rent put down for the Mansion-house and Distillery, for both of which, with the garden, lawn, and suitable offices, there is no doubt that 8501. can be got. The Grouse Shooting could also be let at 201. or 301., but is not charged. Plans of the Estate to be seen with (when the Survey is concluded) and farther particulars known, by applying to the Proprietor, Captain Munro, Teaninich, by Evanton ; or to Robert Logan, Esq.

LOCUSTS. 'T&ANSLATZO?T. Extracts from two Arabic letters received by Coja Elias Hays, .a respectable Aleppo merchant, from his agent of St. John d'Acre, dated the 13th of March and Od of April, 1827. . - His Excellency Abdallah Basha, to destroy as much as possible the pernicious consequences pro duced by the locusts in his department, came to the generous resolution to offer a reward to all those that should bring trim whatever quantity of locusts' eggs that might be found under earth. This reward is of 16 piastres for each measure, or 1,152 piastres for each garava. Z was told that yesterday there were brought into town no less than nine garavas of locusts' eggs, which quantity, it is believed, will -daily increase, and, by such means, it is to be hoped that the produce of our land will be preserved from this horrible destruction that so often we see them .wasted with. The 2d of April v.—The gathering of locusts' eggs is continued to a most surprising degree, and I am assured that the quantity now ascends to more than forty garavas, and therefore it is to be hoped that the different kinds of corn of the approaching harvest will not meet the usual horrid visitation. N.B. Twenty chillos form a garava; every chill° of wheat weighs from 20 to 22 okas, and every oka is about 2ilbs. English weight. On Saturday last a man of the name of John Shapland, of Swimbridge, 74 years of age, who is possessed of considerable property, being apprehensive of the loss of a certain portion of it, anu that he should come to want, determined on putting a period to his existenc e; to effect which, he retired to a secluded place in his garden, having furnished himself with a shoemaker's knife, which he had sharpened for the occasion, and there cut his arm all round, with a design of bleeding himself to death ; but this not succeeding to his expectation, he stabbed himself in the side, inflicting a large and ghastly wound, through which the pulsation of his heart was said to be visible : the he morrhage which ensued soon deprived him of . animation, and he was discovered lying on the ground in a state of insensibility ; he was carried to his house, and surgical assistance procured ; and although he still survived, yet his death was hourly expected. —North Devon Journal. HYDROPHOBIA.—A poor man residing in the neighbourhood of Wapping, was requested some time in the month of April last to give a dose of medicine to a dog which had been indisposed two or three days, but had exhibited no symptoms•of hydrophobia; in the effort of forcing open his mouth with a piece of wood, his hand slipped, and coming in contact with the dog's teeth, his thumb was very slightly grazed : he applied to a neigh bouring chemist, who told him nothing was necessary to be done. The dog was killed the same day, at the desire of the poor man's friends, and its master was perfectly sa tisfied. The poor man, till Wednesday last, was in perfect health, on which day he complained of pain in the bitten arm, which extended to the shoulder, but little notice was taken of it. During Thursday and Friday he continued in the same state as the previous day, but on Saturday morning symptoms of hydrophobia rapidly appeared. Se veral medical men attended him,' and did every thing ne cessary to mitigate his sufferings, which terminated at 12 o'clock at night. The poor fellow was perfectly sensible of his situation, and was constantly imploring his ivife and medical attendants to keep out of his way, lest lie should communicate the disease to them. j A STURGEON CAUGHT IN OUR RIVER.— A sturgeon, we understand, was caught in this river on the day before yesterday, measuring in length eight feet three inches, from the tip of the snout to the extremity of the tail, and over three feet round the body near the head, and weighing over 220 pounds. The 'sturgeon belongs to the tribe of cartilaginous fishes, which differ from all others by their soft or cartilaginous skeleton. It is not frequent, but has been occasionally found on our shores. ♦ccording to Doctor Rutty, one measuring ■ix feet in length and three in breadth, was caught in September, 1746, between Dublin and the Isle of Man ; and in 1754, according to the same authority, one was caught in a river near Dundalk, ten feet long, and said to be 800 pounds in' weight. The flesh is, while bard, very fat,-viscous, and difficult of digestion—though the young fish is cut in pieces, and when seasoned, is packed up in barrels: but its more famous production is that of the caviary or caviare, which is made of the roe or spawn of a particular species of sturgeon, the flesh of which is far more delicate than the common. Of this caviare, there is as great a traffic in Muscovy, as of butter in this country. The greatest fishery in the world for sturgeon is that of the Muscovites, at the entrance of the Volga into the Caspian Sea. The Mus covites, who have four Lents in the year, and are strict in the prohibition of butter at that time, ,season all their sauces with it—it is eaten with oil and citrons. The Italians also make great consumption of it. Of the gullet, stomach, and guts, cleansed from, their internal membrane, rolled together and dried in the air, is made one sort of isinglass.-.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. •INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Alia. 14 Samuel Taylor was brought up on his petition from the Marshalsea; he described himself as a tide waiter in his Majesty's Customs, and was opposed by a Mr. Holland, for a debt of 5/. Mr. Holland opposed the insolvent on the ground that he was receiving a liberal salary from the Cus tom-house, from which he was convinced he could well afford to discharge his debt. Taylor would leave it to the Court to say whe ther he could afford to do so, when he had a wife and four children to maintain on a salary of 301. a-year, and the whole of his income amounting to little more than double that sum. The COURT were of opinion that the insolvent should be discharged, but that he should pay the 5/. from the amount of one year's salary—the year to commenee.at the next January quarter. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT, LEWES, Auc. 14. HOLDITCH LP. POLLARD. This was an action to recover 4/. 9s. 3d. the price of a cask of cider, furnished by the plaintiff to the defendant. The case was substantially this :—The plaintiff was a cider-merchant in Devonshire, and the de fendant was the landlord of the White Hart inn at Lewes.' The plaintiff had furnished the defendant with a mit of cider in 1825, and in June, 1826, his son, who acted as his traveller, being in the course of his journey at Lewes, called upon the defendant for the price of the cider. Not finding the defend ant at home, the plaintiff's son left a note request ing that the monermight be sent-to him at Brighton, whither he was' going, by a carrier named Moon, and he enclosed in the note a stamped receipt for the money. The money not being sent, further ap plications for it were made to the defendant, first by Moon, and afterwards by a man named Thorne, on the part of the plaintiff; and both those persons were called as witnesses for the plaintiff, and swore \ positively that they never received the money, though they had repeatedly applied for it. The de livery of the cider and fairness of the price were not disputed; but the defence set up was, that the money had been paid to the witness, Thorne, who, it was suggested, must have improperly appropri ated it. In support of this case, Anne - Lavender, the bar-maid at the White Hart, a lady of most dashing appearance, swore that she was present when Thorne called upon the defendant for the money, and that she saw the defendant hand him over the amount, which Thorne immediately_ put into his pocket and went away. The case went to the Jury upon the question to whom they would give credit, the bar-maid or the witness Thorne. They found their verdict for the plaintiff, damages 4/.95. 3d., thereby supporting the testimony ; of Thorne. • Thomas was indicted for stealing, on the 22d of May last, at Upper Beeding, a mare, the pro perty of Mr. Bonniface. It appeared in evidence, that the mare in question was safe in the prosecutor's stable at eight in the evening, and was missing from . thence at four next morning. The stable was in a field which opened to the road, was secured only by a bar across the doorway, which was found standing upright in the stable at the time when the mare was missing. At half-past three the same morning, the prisoner was seen riding the mare through a toll-gate near the prosecutor's premises. The next day a reward was publicly advertised for the recovery of the mare, and in a day or two after she was found straying on, a common a few miles off. Shortly after the publica tion of the advertisement of the reward, the prisoner called on the prosecutor, and told hith, if he would give him the reward, he thought he could find the mare. Upon this he was taken into custody, from which he endeavoured to escape, and,ppon searching him a bridle was found in his pocket. The Jury returned a verdict, that the ptioner had taken the mare for the purpose of obtaining the reward. The Learned JUDGE observed, that he could not receive such a verdict. The Jury must find the pri. soner either guilty or not guilty. The Ju►y then found the prisoner Guilty—Thatlt Judgment recorded. hold of me, and dashed me against the wall. he said, if I did not give him back the .5/. and the coach fare, that he would shoot me ; he then ran to the coach and brought his fire-arms from it ; I don't know whether he brought one pistol or two; he came towards me and presented one at me; a wo man came running up to him / and said, " For God's sake, man, what are nu going to do ?" She turned his arm away; I ran into the Spencer's Inn again, the only house that was open ; I went again in the travellers' room, and bolted the door; in about 20 minutes after I opened the door, Mrs. Spencer, the, waiter, and either one or two women,same in. Mrs. Spencer said, " What is all this noise and disturb ance about ?" I related the cause of it. She said the house was full, and that she would not allow her house to be disturbed that way. She ordered the waiter to fetch the constable, Charlton, the other defendant : he came, and Mrs. Spencer told him she wanted him to take me out of the house, as I would not go out. I said, .1 would not go out un less forced out, as I had no notion of going out to have .my brains blown out in the street by that fellow. The constable said, " Yon , must go; you know what Mrs. Spencer's orders are." I said, show me your authority, and he then pulled out a pair of handcuffs, and onstable's staff, and placed them on the table, and said, " there is my authority." I said, that was no authority. He said, I had better submit, or he would handcuff me, and take me to the lock-up. I don't know what I said then, but my blood began to boil, and I thought I would rather lose my life than be handcuffed. He then unscrewed the handcuffs, laid hold of me, and did his best to put them on. I resisted effectually; after the struggle, the constable, Charlton said to Mrs. Spencer," You see I cannot manage this man, you must get me more assistance," and the waiter went for some. I did not strike the constable ; I never struck any one in my life, but my own chil dren. A man named Griffith, and Stringer, then came into the room. I appealed to the constable and Mrs. Spencer to protect me from his violence. Stringer paid no attentior. to it, but came up to me, and in rather civil terms begged I would give him the .51. back ; he begged it as a favour, as it was his own money, and I gave it hinr, as he said it would ruin him if I did not. They did not let me go to bed till half an hour after that. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.—Why did you not send for a constable, to take up Stringer ? Witness.—Because I was a stranger in the place, and wanted to get on board the packet. Mr. KUSSELL, for the defendant, proceeded to re mark at great length on the evidence of the prose cutor, and concluded by pledging himself that he would produce evidence that would completely re but the charge which had been made against the defendants. Ann Price—l am cook at the Eagle and Child Hotel, at Holyhead. I remember the night when this row took place. I remember Mrs. Spencer coming down stairs; she. had been in bed an hour and a half.

After the prosecutor opened the door, the first person who came was Ann Parry; then David Griffith. The Rbard fetched the constable s ; he came in about ten minutes.

Whitworth said he would not leave theshouse. Two gentlemen who had bespok e beds, who came by the mail, went down to the packet. I then went and told mistress there were two beds to spare. She then said, " Let hire have a bed directly." He slept in a sitting -room on' the ground-floor. When the prosecutor refused the bed at the constable's, 1 offered him a bed at my house. He refused that also. Ann Parry—l am a servant at the Eagle and Child at Holyhead. I remember the night this row took place. There was no bed at. all when Whit worth asked for one.

Pniums having replied at considerable length, the Jury returned a verdict of acquittal. ANDERSON WATSON. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an alleged malicious arrest. Mr. Cuawoon stated the case. The plaintiff being anxious to procure the sum . of 2001. on the security of some freehold property which he had in this neighbourbood, applied to the defendant, an at torney, who undertook to obtain for him the re quired sum. The defendant did as he had pr.omised, and a mortgage' deed being executed, the money was handed over'to the plaintiff. Some short time subsequently the latter wanted a. further sum of 300/., and again applied to the defendant, who ad vanced him 30/., and undertook to procure tha re mainder; but instead of so doing, after repeatedly promising to have the money ready by a. certain day, and failing of his promise, he.suddenly, and without any previou? demand‘bting made for \ the money, caused the plaintiff to be arrested for two different sums. The 'Ole arrest being for the 301. he had himself advanced, arid the other for the 2001. of', which he had procured the loan from llfrs. Rowland. Against the first arrest he cotfld make to legal ob jection; but he should be able to prove,lts regarded the second one, that it was most unwarrantable, and that it had been made wholly without the knowledge and concurrence of Mrs. Rowland, although the writ purported to be at her instance. Having proved these facts, he should be entitled to their verdict, and he trusted they would•give such ample damages as the-case required. Mr. Henry Scott produced the affidavit of debt on which the writ was issued. Mr. William Parker proved that the signature " Charles Harper" was the hand-writing of a' per son of that name, who was living as clerk to the de fendant. The affidavit was then read. It set forth, on the oath of Charles Harper, that the present plaintiff was indebted to Mrs. Ann Rowland in the sum of 2001. It was attested by the defendant, as having been sworn before him. Henry Jones proved :having arrested the plaintiff on-two writs, which he received from the defendant. One of these was for the sum of 2001. and at the suit of Mrs. Rowland. The plaintiff was in his custody for two days. The defendant called on the plaintiff at the request of the latter.' The plaintiff demanded why the defendant had used him so, and the latter replied, " I have not half done with you yet ; I will use you still worse, before I have done." Mr. Henley was one of the plaintiff's bail, and afterwards called on Mrs. Rowland to pay the debt and costs, but Mrs. Rowland refused at first to take the money, and declared that she knew nothing of the arrest, and had given no directions for it. Mr. Lawrence deposed to the same effect. Cross-examined.---Besides Mrs. Rowland's mo'rt gage there was another one for 2001. Mr. Stanley proved that the property was worth from 7001. to 800/. Mrs. Rowland deposed that she had given no au thority to the defendant for the proceedings taken against the plaintiff. Cross-examined.---She knew nothing of the plain tiff; she put the 2001. into the hands of the defend ant, with directions for him to invest it in what way he thought most safe, and most advantageous : when the defendant explained his reasons for issuing the writ, she approved of what he had done. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN was of opinion, that this last fact was fatal to the plaintiff's case. The de fendant, acting as agent for Mrs. Rowland, had ar rested the plaintiff; and Mrs. Rowland having sub sequently approved of what he had done, the act be came her act. The plaintiff must be nonsuited. Plaintiff non-suited accordingly. IRISH ASSIZES. LIMERICK. Patrick 11/PNamara was put to the bar, and in dicted for the murder of Bridget Molony, at Tul lavin, on the 23d of January, in the 47th of the late King. He pleaded guilty to the charge at first but at the suggestion of the Court; and by advice of his Counsel, he withdrew that plea, and said it was „a mistake. The follqwing Jury was sworn, after several challengtes from the prisoner's counsel : Hugh Massey, Thomas Royse, Waller O'Grady, Edward Green, William Lloyd, Myles Mason, John. Mason, John Franklin, Richard Smithwick, .jiiri.,. Edward Lloyd, Richard Mason, and Samuel Englarid Johnson, Esqrs. Mr. Sergeant GOOLD stated the case for the Crown. It had latterly seldom fallen to the lot of Counsel for the Crown to address Jurors in capital prosecutions, but this was one of a peculiar nature, a case of circumstantial evidence, and a transaction eighteen years old. On the 16th of September, 1807, the house of Maurice Molony, at Tullavin in this county, was attacked by midnight insurgents; Michael M'Namara, a brother of the prisoner, was indicted for the capital offence, tried at the Spring Assizes following, and convicted of the charge, on the evidence of Bridget.Molony ; he was executed in April, 1808. The prisoner, Patrick M'Namara, was implicated in this outrage, but he stated it only as a circumstance to show his hostility to the unfortunate Bridget Molony. •After this she had occasion to go to the mills of Manister, then kept by a man of the name of Farrell, to buy some flour ; she ran back and called out to Farrell to pro tect her; he put her into a room in the mills, and, ing _out, spoke to andsaid,be t f he prisoner; orelongh he he e would---t— be re vengedr of 'her; she.went home, and not long after a man of the name of Shanahan, the son-in-law of Bridget Molony, saw the prisoner passing by his house, return again, and go past the house of Doody, a neighbour near Molony's. Shanahan kept his eye on him, and soon heard the report of a pistol, and saw the smoke exactly on the spot where the prisoner was, also noticed him lifting his arm fre quently as if striking some object ; there were rushes in the field about him. In a few moments Doolt i came to.Rianahan and told him his mother in-law vas murdbred. Shanahan pursued but lost sight of the prisoner, and coming .up to the spot where he observed him, 'saw - marki of blood there ; he met Bridget y b carried between 4 ,, Doody and another, with a a in her arm, covered With blood, and the lock of a pistol bcoke.in her head; it was taken out . and given to Shanahan, and the poor woman died on the Friday following.. Knowing her end was approaching, and death not far distant r siksent for the priest that same evening to attend her, and then made a dying declaration which will be given in evidence ; it is sufficient that she accused the prisoner of the murder. After this every search was made by her family and friends for the prisoner, but made in vain, the neighbourhood was searched, but he was not to be found, and, in fact he fled the country at the time—however, after a long interval, in June last, information was obtained that he was in the town of Tipperary, and Shanahan, who knew his person, went with Mr. Doolan, the Chief Constable ; M'Namara passed theu v it will be proved, by the name of Baron, and on being inden tified and addressed by Shanahan, he said his name was not M'Namara ; he was arrested, 'and returning towards his former neighbourhood, Shanahan said to him, " it was not enough for you to shoot her, but you must break her skull too ;" it was remarkable the prisoner replied, `csurely after 18 years ye might kt me go." . Sergeant Goal then called the wit nesss in support of the case. The ittry found a verdict of " Guilty." The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to declare the awful sentence of the law. His Lordship sentenced the wrkched man to be hanged on Monday. next, *and his iledy given to the surgeons of the county In firmary for dissection. [.ll;PNa»tara was also charged with the burning of a house and the murder of a child, in the county Clare, and if it was possible for him to escape the present indictment, it was intended to try him at Ennis en the other charge. The unfortunate man, after the murder, served some years in the army, and was wounded in Portugal. He was a pensioner from the 66th regiment, at 9d. a-day.] Immediately after this, Patrick Grady was in dicted for the murder of Thomas Egan, at Annigan, by shooting him on his knees opposite his own door. In, this case also, there was a capital conviction, and he was ordered to be hanged on Monday next with Patrick M'Namara. Lo: osyp•y.—On the morning of Thursday last, a Highlander of the name of John Macdonald expired in his son's house, in the Lawnmarket, at the advanced age of 107. 1 - 1 was born in Glen Tinisdale, in ,the Isle of Skye,- and;'hke the other natives of that quarter, was bred to rural labOtir. Early one .morning, when loOking after his black 9ktie, he was surprised by the sight of two ladies, as hollought; winding slowly round a hill, and itp proachingibm3wot where he stood. When they came up, they inquiregor a well or stream, where, a drink of water could he 'obtaod, He condudtdd them to the " Virgin' Well," an •ut spring, which was held in great re verence on nt of its being the scene of some supersti tious and legettlikry tales. When they had quenched their thirst, one ladies rewarded Macdonald with a shil ling, the first silver coin of which he was possessed. At their (ram request, he escorted them to a gentleman's house at some distance, and there; to his great surprise and satis faction, he learned that the 'two " ladies " were Flora Macdonald and Prince Charles Stewart. This was the proudest incident in Macdonald's patriarchal life, and when surrounded by his Celtic brethren, he used to dilate on all the relative circumstances with a sort of hereditary enthu siasm, and more than the common garrulity of age. He afterwards turned joiner, and bore a conspicuous part in the building of the first Protestant church which was erected i n the island of North Uist. He came to Edinburgh twenty-three years ago, and continued to work at his trade till he was 97 years of age. He was a temperate, regular living man, and never paid a sixpence to a surgeon for himself, nor bad an hour's sickness in the whole course of his life. He used to dance regularly on New-year's days, along with some Highland friends, to the bagpipe, o n New-year's day, 1825, he danced a reel with the father, the son, .the grandson, and great-grandson, and was in more than his usual spirits. His bearing was nothing im paired, and till within three weeks of his demise, without glasses he could have threaded the finest needle with fad lity.—Scotsman. • NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DURHAM, Aua. 12. Mr. Justice BAYLEY left York yesterday morning, and arrived in, this city at seven o'clock in the even ing, when he immediately opened the commission, His Lordship attended divine service at the Cathe dral this morning, and ivith the Bishop entered the church at a little after ten. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Sumner, one .f the Prebendaries; the Bishop pronounced the benediction. There are 27 persons in the calendar —one charged with rape, one for assault with intent to commit a rape, two under Lord Ellenborough's Act for cutting and maiming, two for highway robberies, one for a burglary, four for a riot, and the remainder for stealing. The civil business is not expected to be heavy. SHREWSBURY, Auc. 13. Jane Cadman, who was convicted on her own confession on Saturday last, of stealing a piece of lace and one piece of silk handkerchiefs, was this morning placed at the bar, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour: SLANDER-ED*AHDS V. THOMAS, This was an action for words uttered by the de fendant, of and 'concerning the plaintiff. The sib stance of the words was, imputing to the plaintiff that he had purjured himself on a trial which took place in this town this time two years, when a man, named Newton, was indicted for murdering his wife, was convicted and executed. The slander further consisted in stating, that the plaintiff had been the cause of that man being hanged.—Verdict for the plaintiff, 40s. THE WINO V. MARY SPENCPR AND JOHN CHARLTON. Mr. J. JERVIS opened the pleadings. This was an indictment, charging the defendants with having assaulted and falsely imprisoned Nicholas Whitworth. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS stated the case. Mr. Nicholas Whitworth.—l am a corn-dealer in Drogheda. lam an Englishman. On the 21st of September last I took a place in the mail at Bangor, and paid for it. When I got to Holyhead I got off the coach, and was walking down to the packet that was to sail between one and two o'clock; as I was going to the packet, Stringer, the guard of the coach, came to me; he said I had not paid my fare : I said I had; after some altercation I said I had paid my fare at Bangor, and had seen my name and the. money entered in the way-bill. He said that would not do for him ; I had not paid, and must pay. I refused, and he laid hold of me and dragged me towards Spencer's Inn. When we came to the steps, he said, " By —, I will lay you M. that you have Rot paid your fire, nor is your name in the way-bill." I said " Done." We then went into the house. He kept hold of me. He took me into the bar. Stringer then put down a 51. note on the table. I pulled out a 101. note, and covered it with that.— Stringer then pulled out the bill, when my name ap peared in the bill, and the money that had been paid, 6s. The gentleman who held the money said I had won : he laid the money down on the table, and I took it up. Stringer then said, " You are not going to keep my 54, are you ?" I said, " I have no .5/. of yours. I have Si. that I won from you, and I shall keep that." R e th en kid ~ PRICE 7D. iIiTE MR. (From • Liverpool Paper. ) Mr. Canning is no more. Alas I little didv; e ex pect, when, on Monday last, we announce , - the alarming illness of this distinguished Statetiman,filat we should, in one ahort week, have ,to perforMAlte melancholy task of recording the termination of his l ean' lily career. But the bright and - glorious spirit which was the admiration of England and the world, is quenched-in death; - and the lips on whoseaccents our fellow-townsmen have often hung with delight, and which, for thirty long years, commanded the applause Of a listening Senate, are now sealed in eternal silence. The proceedings of Providence lire indeed dark and inscrutable; and it is the duty of weak and short-sighted mortals to bow, in meek submission, to theedecrees of a supreme governing intelligence, which, we may rest, perfectly satisfied, doeth all things well. " Clouds and, darkness," .to borrow the sublime imagery of holy writ, "are round about Him, but justice and judgment are the habita tions of his throne." The universal grief which has overspread the land, in consequence of the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Canning, is the best testimony which could:be given of the admirationin which his states man-like talents and his manly-virtues were held by his fellow-countrymen, notwithstanding the efforts —the unceasing, the malignant efforts of a party, insignificant in number and respectability, to lower him in the estimation of his King and his country, by representing him, preposterously enough, as a •determined enemy to both. Seldom, indeed; has it fallen to the lot of any public man, mbo has been. so long before the world as Mr. Canning has, and who has been placed in circumstancerSo extraordi nary and so trying as those in which he had been placed during the last fire monthsof his existence, to go down to the tomb so 'deeply regretted and so seriously lamented as the late Premier. " Not friends alone his obsequies deplore ; " They make mankind the mourner ; carry sighs " Far as the fatal. Fame can wing her way ; " And turn the sayest thoughts of gayest age " Down their right channel, through the vale of death." The close and intimate connection which existed, for many years between Mr. Canning and the town of Liverpool, had endeared him to the inhabitants generally, and to his political friends in an especial manlier. To the regret which the members of this great commercial community feel for the loss which the country has sustained by his sudden" removal from this transitory scene of existence, is superadded sorrow for the death of one whom they once gloried in calling their representative in the great council of the nation, and who, during the period he held the trust, discharged the duties of his highly respon sible station with benefit to his constituents and with honour to himself. The year 1812, when Mr. Canning was first chosen member for Liverpool, forms an epoch in her representative history ; and posterity will regard her connexion with this lamented Statesman, during the long space of el even years , as one of the brightest periods in her annals. THE RUSSIAN FLEET. POILTSMOUTX, At7G. 13.—The arrival of the Russian squadron, though it was composed of so many line-of-battle ships—eight 74's, with eight frigates, and a corvette,—did not excite any thing like a sensation of alarm or apprehension, as to the real object of their visit to the Mediterranean, be cause the public. mind seemed satisfied that our late spirited Ministers, Mr..Canning,_must himself have been satisfied upon the subject; and, if it should otherwise turn out, he would be more than a match for their duplicity. It seems that when the Russian ships left Cronstadt, their only orders were to proceed to Portsmouth ;" where, they afterwards understood, tho Russian Ambassador in London, the Prince Lieven, would visit them, and, by an arrangement with the English Government, deter mine what part off the force should go on the ser vice required to settle-the disputes between the Turks and Greeks. It was in conformity with' this , understanding that; Prince Lieven visited the Rus sian Admiral Siniavin's ship (the Azojf) on Friday last, and then issued orders to the Rear-Admiral of the squisdron, Count Haydon, to 'prepare the St. Adrew, Hargood, Ezekiel, and AlexanderNewsky, of the line ; Helena, Prevornie, Irraxer, and Con vtantine, frigates, for seryjce in the Mediterranean.._. it is not true that thelutifdpi have any-men, sailors or soldiers on board, not absohitely required to na vigate and defend their ships; the fact is, all the crews of the Russian "ships of war are both soldiers and sailors ; they are regimented, and . bear the number of their respective corps, on a piece of white cotton on the collars and arms of their green jackets. The line-of-battle ships now here have each /00 men on board; the heaviest frigates nearly 500; and the smaller class has nearly 400 men, making about 10,000 men in the whole. English ships, going m the same service, would not have a fewer number. Count Haydon wilt sail hence, with his division if the ships, on Friday next, for the Mediterranean, should the supplies be all shipped by that time. The remainder of the ships will return to Cronstadt lei qirely, when they have spent all their " loose cash." They, are fond of British manufactures, both in ar ticles of apparel and ornament. -The Russian ships ire all fine, of their respective classes, but the men are so different from our own " fellows," that, if they are sailors, they belong to a century back : it would be like a comparison of the Times paper of the present day with the PublieLedger of 1745 ! The men are, no doubt, very brave, and the officers are steady, discreet, good sailors, and brave men; but there is not that active, adventurous, dashing, sailor like corps d'esprit about them which animates our , felldvs, and makes them the " crack" tip-top triumphant sons of the ocean. * A nobleman, distinguished for his learning, good Sense, and public spirit, in lamenting Mr. Canning's death, maid, " He is the only British Minister that all the foreign Courts ever feared."

THE TWELFTH OF AUGUST.---During the last ten days the influx of company from the South has ex • seeded that in any former season .at the same period of the year. The reports as to the state of the game are rather contradictory. This, however, is in a great degree satis liictorily accounted for, by the snclw-storm in April having been more severely felt in some districts in the Highlands than in others; and as the grouse were hatching at that rime, some of the best preserved grounds, where they hap oened to be particularly exposed to the storm, hive suffered. from its :effects considerably. Generally speaking, how ever, the birds are abundant ;c and'on some of the hills in .Itholl, Rannoch, and on the Moors betwixt the borders of Perthshire and the banks of the Stiey, gams of all hinds is slid to be more numerous than for several years past.— Perth Courier. at the
