DAY, for his recent most im portant Improvements in the Materials and Construction of OFFICERS' BEDSTEADS, which Improvements are also applicable to every description of Portable Furniture, Combining Extension and Security, His EXTENDING BEDSTEADS, with SHOULDER PILLARS, will be found a great acquisition to Officers, from the facility they possess in removing; and the security of the Pillar can also be applied to any other Bedstead, at the moderate expence of One Guinea only, and will en tirely obviate the inconvenience so often experienced in Field Bedsteads, from the Screw of the Pillar breaking, and thus rendering the application of the Furniture, or the Mosquito Net, entirely useless, but which is so highly es sential in Warm Climates.

A few days ago, an industrious woman, not above twenty miles from Carlisle, having cut with a sickle a quantity of grass for her cow, gave it to her. The cow, pleased with the treat, com menced the work of mastication; but to the great surprise of the woman, she discovered the tail of a snake, about twelve inches in length, writhing around the mouth of the cow, while she was crushing its head between her grinders. The cow appeared to enjoy the treat !—Caledonian Mercury. A MONSTER.—A ferocious animal, supposed to be of the hyena species, desolates at this mo ment the Canton of Mersbourg, near the lake Constance. After devouring several animals, and even some children, he attacked a number of journeymen masons, who had to pass a small wood. It strangled two, of them, and wounded a score. It has been chased, but without effect. It seems the thickness of its skin renders it bullet proof.—Paris Paper. Mr. Fletcher of London, having given public intimation of his intention to preach in Leith Links yesterday forenoon, and on the Calton Hill in the evening, the Magistrates subsequently published a notice prohibiting him from so doing. The Rev. Gentleman, however, having obtained the authority of the tacksman of the Royal Parks, held forth in the forenoon to a very crowded audience in Comb Park, east of Gibraltar House, and at the conclusion of his sermon gave notice that he would preach again at the same place, at six o'clock in the evening. A great crowd of people assembled in conse quence, but the discourse was cut short about seven o'clock by a heavy shower. The rolling of distant thunder, and a congregation of sultry and broken clouds over-head, warned many of the approaching rain ; but the greater part, we believe, remained till the shower came down, when Mr. F. suddenly stopped his discourse, and his auditory dispersed much more speedily than the heat of the weather would otherwise have made convenient.—.Caledonian Mercury. INVERNESS, JULY 11.--Monday last and part of yesterday, this quarter of the country was visited with a hurricane, which, in some instances, wa s attended with serious damage. Extraor dinary as it may appear, it is nevertheless true, that a. field of turnips at Petty, consisting of about 16 acres, was entirely destroyed. The surface had been thoroughly dried up by the pre vious warm weather, and the whole of it, with the young turnip plants, was literally blown away. From part of the moss-ground on Jane held, near Nairn, which was in the process of burning, particles of fire were driven to the neigh bouring field, the whole were shortly ignited, and a fine field of oats was in much risk of being consumed. The alarm was, however, speedily given in and about Nairn, when a great number turned out, and rendered prompt and effectual assistance in extinguishing the fire ; the conduct of all parties present was most praiseworthy. The loss sustained is trifling ; seven acres of turnips will require to be re-sown ; the damage to the field of oats is not worth mentioning. The apple and other fruit trees in the gardens around us have suffered severely, a great deal of fruit having fallen. The steam-boat lately set going on Kessock Ferry, at an expense to Sir Wm. Fettes, the proprietor of the Ferry, of about 9,0001., was unable to stand the gale, and took shelter below Craigtown.--,lnverness Journal. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 18. WILLIAMS V. BACON. Mr. SHADWELL moved for a new trial of an issue that had been directed by this Court. The bill was filed by the rector against certain occupiers of land, called Cliff Slade, in the parish of Mark Field, in the county of Leicester, for the payment of tithes. The question for the Jury was, whether the rector was entitled to tithes, or a certain modus in lieu thereof. The Jury found that the rector was entitled to a modus of 4s. 10d., which did not satisfy the Rev. Personage, and hence the present motion, made on the ground of misdirection, on the part of Mr. Justice Holroyd, to the Jury. Mr. TRESLOVE followed on the same side. Mr. HEALD and Mr. MERIVAL opposed th, mo- tion. They considered that the whole of the evi dence that had been given at the trial was in favour of their clients, and that no just complaint could be made to the Judge's summingupor charge. The LORD CHANCELLOR said , he would look care- fully into the case which had been alluded to before he decided this question. If he should be of opinion that it was incumbent on the defendants to give evi dence of the grant, there would clearly be no OCCit.• for a new trial. GIBBON V. CONVLBY. The argument on the motion for a new trial in this case was postponed until to-morrow, in conse quence of the absence of Mr. Pollock. TUE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, AT THE RELATION OF ALLNUTT, E. THE 11ATOR AND CORPORATION OF HUNTINGDON. KELLY was heard on the motion for anew trial in this case, the subject of which is some plots of land claimed by the Governors of St. John's Hospitabat Huntingdon, and the argument was not concluded when the Court rose. COURT OF KING'S 13ENCII, JULY lA. TRAINE V. BENNETT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the plaintiff, stated this case, which was an action by a mariner on board of the Phoenix, a South-Sea whaler, against the owner, for 431., which the plaintiff claimed as his share of the proeeeds of the voyage. It appeared from the evidence, that the mariners were, instead of wages, to have a certain portion of the oil and cargo that they brought home, and the plaintiff's share amounted to 431., if he had not forfeited it. The engagement into which the mariners entered con tained a clause, that all such officers, seamen, and mariners, as broke the articles, should forfeit all be nefit from the voyage. The articles provided that the mariners should obey their superior officers, and should do their duty on board the vessel. A man of the name of Tibby, in the course of the voyage misconducted himself, and the Captain ordered him to go below, saying to him, " You shall lose all the benefit of the voyage, and so shall several others."— The sailors wished to know of the Captain whom he meant by " several others," but he refused to tell them, upon which many of them, including the plaintiff, left off working, and the Captain ordered them below, saying, that the doctor and himself, and the remaining part of the crew, could do the work. The sailors, after a little time, sent the captain a letter that tbey were ready to work if he would say he had no intention to knock any one off from the benefit of the voyage excepting Tibby, or if he did mean to knock any other person off, if he would let them know who it was. He refused, however, to give them any information, and things remained in this state until the ship came in danger by means of a sand-bank, when the plaintiff and the other sailors came on deck and performed their duty, which they continued doing until the ship returned home. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, contended that it was of the highest consequence to maintain disci pline on board a ship, and that if the plaintiff re covered, the verdict would be productive of infinite mischief. Lord TENTERDEN—If the Jury were of opinion that the master acted improperly in refusing to men tion who the men were he meant to knock off, and in saying obscurely, that " he would knock off several others,' and if they thought that this conduct in duced the men to act as they had done, then, in point of law, the benefit of the voyage was not for feited, and the Jury would find a verdict for the plaintiff.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 43/. COLRY AND OTHERS AGAINST HUNTER. This was an action upon a policy of insurance effected by the plaintiffs upon the Arethusa, whereof they were the legal and registered owners, against the defendant, the secretary of the St. Patrick In surance Company, which was incorporated by an act of the sth of George IV., and empowered to sue and be sued by their secretary. M r . J. PARKE opened the pleadings, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who stated the case, said be claimed for an entire loss by perils of the sea. The question depended upon the proper construction of a warranty in the policy. The ship was insured in October, 1825: there were then, and there had been for some time previous, very heavy gales, and a great deal of stormy weather; and the office, before they would insure, made inquiries whether the vessel was then at sea. The Plaintiffs' agent told them " No : it was at Cuxhaven, the port of Hamburgh." The office then agreed to insure, and the policy was ef fected from Hamburgh to Vigo, thence to Lisbon, Oporto, and the Mediterranean, not higher than Barcelona, upon the Arethusa, which was " war ranted in port on the 19th of October, 1825."... There was no difference between the parties as to the a mount of the loss which had been settled : the only question was upon the construction of the warranty. The ship was, at the time of the insurance, atCuxhaven. That, the plaintiffs contended, was the port of Ham burgh ; for ships are said to be in the port of klamburgh whilst they are at Cuxhaven, in the sa me manner as if a ship is warranted to be in the port of London the warranty is held to be complied with if the vessel is at Gravesend. There is no custom-house at Cuxhaven, the custom-house offi cers come from Hamburgh to take the duties on cargoes. For the purpose; of security, it was just the same to the insurers, whether the vessel Wa s at Cuxhaven or at Hamburgh, or indeed in any other navigable part of the Elbe. The question of entire loss, therefore depended upon the construction of the policy, whether the words " warranted in port" meant the port of Hamburgh, and whether in that ease Cuxhaven was not to be considered the port of Hamburgh. If, however, his Lordship's opinion were against the plaintiffs on that point, they were still entitled, upon the count for money had and re ceived, to recover back their premium ; because, in that case, the policy was void, and there had been no insurance at all. Admissions were put in, that the plaintiffs were the legal and registered owners of the Arethusa , and that the policy had bee n d u ly effected in ctober, 1825. The ship -agent proved that he applied in the month of Oct o b er , 18 25, at the St. Patrick's Insurance-office. There had been a very severe gale a little time before. The agent for the office objected at first, because wit ness could not warrant that the vessel was safe on a certain day, as he had no information where the vessel was. Witness afterwards received a letter, giving him an account of the vessel, and he went again to the office and informed them where the ship was, and then the insurance was effected. Witness knew Cuxhaven. It is on the Elbe, near the mouth of the river. It belongs to the free town of Hamburgh. The port regulations of Hamburgh extended to it. The pilot establishment there be longs to Hamburgb. Ships perform quarantine there. Its distance from Hamburgh is about 90 miles. It is the same to Hamburgh as Gravesend is to London. Mr. F. PoLLocK observed it was more like the More than Gravesend. Witness continued—There is no independent custom-house there. It is entirely under the laws of Hamburgh. Cross-examined by Mr. POLLOCK—There are many ports between Cuxhaven and Hamburgh. There is a great deal of other intervening territory; part of Hanover intervenes. It is on the same river, and is part of the territory of the free city of Ham burgh. A clearance at Cuxhaven is sufficient for Harnburgh. Mr. Mont, master of the Arethusa, proved that the vessel left Hamburgh on the 13th of October, 1825, and on the 19th was at Cuxhaven, and re mained there until the 24th. Afterwards we went to sea and met with a loss. Mr. Potiocx—The loss is not disputed. Lord TENTERDEN—I am of opinion that Cux haven is no part of the port of Hamburgh, and I think the fair construction of the policy is, that the words " in port" in the warranty, mean in the port of Hamburgh. Mr. J. Pugs submitted that Lord Ellenborough had interpreted the words " free from seizure in port," to mean in port any where. . Lord. TENTERDEN—T,hat is a very different case. " Warranted in port," here means Hamburgh, the port previously mentioned. " Warranted safe," or " warranted at Cuxhaven," would have done, or " warranted in a port," though that last would have been indefinite. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then submitted, that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the premium,— three guineas per cent. on 1,0001., amounting to 311. 10s. For this sum the Jury found a verdict accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 18. GRAHAM V. HINCKLEY. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE stated that this was an action brought by the-plaintiff to recover compensa tion for certain defamatory words used by the de fendant, which were calculated to injure the plaintiff's reputation, from the foul aspersions they cast upon him. The plaintiff and defendant were both publi cans, the former carrying on business in Love-lane, Lower Thames-street. He had some years ago the misfortune to lose a wife, who had been for some time afflicted with insanity, and had been placed under the care of the celebrated Dr. Burrows, in whose house she died. The plaintiff had, however, subsequently married a second wife, who was now living, and before whom the words complained of were used. On the 25th of December, 1825, the defendant called at the plaintiff's house, and, in the presence of his wife, after having been for some time exceedingly abusive, said, " You murdered your first wife, and put her in a mad-house," or words to that effect, as would be provedby the witnesses he should call. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant. WIDOW OF JOACHIM MURAT. (Abridged from the Journal. des Debats.) ACTION OF GENERAL FRANCESCRETTI. M. Guilbert Boucher, senior Procureur-Ge neral in the Courts of Corsica, presented, on the 30th of June, a plea, to which we conceive it proper to revert, in order to present our readers, in one article, with a complete view of the above case. The advocate of General Franceschetti announced, that he should avoid all disagreeable personalities. The blame, therefore, ought en tirely to fall on General Macdonald, who, by the by, has nothing in common with the noble Duke of Tarentum, whom France reckons with pride amongst her most illustrious warriors. In the month of January or February, 1814, (con tinued M. Guilbert Boucher), Joachim Murat, whom a singular revolution had placed on the throne of the Bourbons at Naples, entered into a treaty with Austria and England, which gua ranteed that kingdom to him. A short month afterwards he forgot this treaty, and made war against Austria, in behalf of his brother-in-law. He was conquered, and obliged to take to flight. He landed in Provence, whence he wrote to Na poleon to offer him his services ; but Napoleon, who believed in fatalism, would not accept of the arm of one who had been unfortunate, and he had, besides, no means of employing Murat usefully. After the battle of Waterloo, Murat wandered up and down the rocks of Provence without being able to find a shelter. He deter mined to embark at Toulon in a vessel that was ready to sail for Havre, and 200,000 francs, with his baggage and principal officers, were em barked. One of them, nearly of his size, went on board in the costume which Murat habitu lally wore. The latter was to join the vessel in the night. Three sailors conveyed him out of the harbour in a boat, but the vessel was not found on the spot indicated. This obliged Murat to return ashore, his whole resources reduced to his diamond hat-loop, worth 9,000 francs, and an epaulette worth 50,000. Un der favour of the night, he reached the cabin of an old woman, in return for whose protection he gave his last piece of money. Thence he went to a country house which he had hired at Plaisance, near Marseilles, and there learned that Le Blanc, his valet de chambre, had betrayed him, and he was at a loss what to do, when he fell in with an old hussar officer, named Blancar, who had served under his command. Blancar procured a man, called Colette, a brave sailor of Corsica, who, after consulting; two young sailors. of Toulon, Donadieu and Ilanglade, engaged to carry Murat to Corsica. After a number of dif ficulties, the Prince landed at Bastia, at the same id had to s ee k an the neighbour time with a n um ber of other fugitiv es , among whom we re th e Count de Casa Blanca, R oss i, & c . a T n l 0 1 e t y h e were u p m u r . s u e l d n , a h N o i T i e a v g e en r hood, called Veacovato, lived a man of illustrious family, Colonna Ceccaldi, with whom General Franceschetti, who had been Marcella' de Champ in 1815, on the field of battle, was at that time staying. Murat went to this Franceschetti, and said to him, " I am your King, will you give me shelter ?" The General offered him every thing he had, and gave him up his apartment. Colonna himself, notwithstanding his difference ofoninion, respected his misfortunes, and welcomed Murat, without inquiring what risks he ran, In the mean while, being Mayor of the Commune, he had to acquaint Colonel Verrier, the only authority at that time in Corsica, which was given up to all the evils of anarchy. Colonel Verrier sent 50 gens d'armes to seize Murat, but General Franceschetti, with his friends and relations, pressed around the Prince, to defend the rights of hospitality. The gens d'armes were alarmed, and withdrew, but the courage of their oppo nen t s rising with their victory, blood was shed on all sides. Murat incurred ,great danger, and the Colonel pressed for his departure, but he was without the moan.. At length, a man named Gregori . consented to fit out a couple of vessels, on condition of receiving bills of exchange on Paris, endorsed by General Franceschetti. Murat drew, in consequence, a bill for 250,000 franca on the house of Barillon. The vessels were fitted out, but on the report going abroad that Murat was setting out to conquer Italy, Colon e l Verrier would not consent to his sailing, ano immediately issued a Proclamation, in which hk declared any person who should give shelter to Murat a disturber of the public peace. The is land, and determined, however, to quit the and he then communicated to the General his design of re-conquering the kingdom of Naples. All advice was thrown away upon him. }ran ceschetti, and 150 other brave men, accompanied him. The defender of General Franceschetti here described the intrepidity of his client, who saved Murat's life on one occasion by his pre sence of mind. Arrested along with his master, he heard a man, armed with a hatchet, ask where Joachim was. His intentions were not difficult to be divined. "I am the King," said General Franceschetti. Struck with admiration at so noble a devotedness, the escort opposed the fury of the assailant. Franceschetti expected to suffer the same fate as the other companions of the Prince. He was, however, sent back to Corsica ; and, after numerous misfortunes, and 15 months' captivity, at length restored to his family. He then addressed a letter full of respect to the widow of Murat, begging of her that assistance of which he stood in need, in order to liquidate the debts which he had contracted. The reply was a long time in arriving ; at length, it did come : it was General Macdonald who answered, that, the si tuation of the Queen did not allow of her grant ing any succour at that moment, and that she was not even in a state to receive the General. After a number of steps equally unavailing, the General was obliged to call on the justice of the country, as a creditor of the widow and heirs of Murat, to the amount of 86,000 francs. M. Guilbert Boucher cited, in support of this de mand, the notoriety of the facts, and the docu mentary evidence contained in the account of the catastrophe of Joachim Murat, a book of which M. Franceschetti is the author. This day (July 13) M. Barthe commenced the defence of the widow of the ex-King, by contending that the documents upon which this plea was attempted to be established had been fabricated by Franceschetti, with a view to its being instituted. M. Barthe then recapitu lated the particulars of the adventures of Murat, as given by M. Boucher, previous to his arrival in Corsica. He declared that the assertion that Franceschetti was the only man in Corsica ready to receive Murat with hospitality was a scan dalous libel on that country ; that Vescovato, so far from being a.safe was a very dangerous,place of abode for Murat, because Ceccaldi was an old Royalist, notorious for his attachment to the Bourboa dynasty, and that the very day after re ceiving him into his house, he gave information of his presence to the Military Governor. lie asserted that Franceschetti was a mere chef de battaillon, in the service of Naples, and though acknowledged as Colonel by the French Go vernment in 1818, he never was nominated General but at Vescovato, which was the field of battle, where he received that rank in return for his hospitality to Murat. So far from Alurat's arriving without resources in Corsica, he carried thither 10,000 francs in gold, which he imme diately handed over to Franceschetti, to defray his expences. He had, besides, diamonds to the amount of 200,000 francs, ,one of which was pledged for 90,000 francs, and the acknowledg ment of this deposit was to be found printed in Franceschetti's own- account. On the 2d of September, Murat drew on Barillon, his bankers at Paris, for 250,000 francs, on which 172,000 francs were paid. On the 28th September, 1815, Macirone arrived from Paris, bringing passports, which ensured to Murat a safe asylum in Austria, provided he would live under the name of Li pone, and under the superint en d ence o f the police. Murat's ideas, however, were then changed, and he declared to Macirone that the passports had arrived too late, and that be . was determined to re-conquer the kingdom of Naples. M. Barthe said he should not enter into details of what followed, but should content himself with reading a copy of the letter written by Murat the moment before he was shot. The letter was as follows : " My Dear Caroline,—My last hour is come. In a few minutes I shall have ceased to live, and you will cease to have a husband. Do not forget me. My life has been stained by no injustice. Farewell my Achilles, farewell my Letitia, my Lucien, my Louisa. Show , the world that you are worthy of me. I leave you without a throne and without resources, in the midst of nu merous enemies. Think of what you are, and of what you have been, and God will bless you. Speak not evil of my memory ; and know that my greatest pain, in my last moments of my life, is dying far away from my children. Re ceive my paternal benediction ; receive my em braces and my tears ; and ever keep in yon memory your unfortunate father e ' , JOACHIM." M. Barthe here traced the misfo r t unes an d dispersion of the family of Murat aft er hi s d eat h . a da d u daughters ha d r i s p,tei : married a n 7 fo unda an asylum of in Austria ; his eldest on l oad gone t o th e UHnisitwedidZate and and Washington's. M. B,arthe then proceeded to address himself to the case before the Court.— Franceschetti was the only person who com plained -di ingratitude. Macirone had presented a draught of 40,000 francs, subscribed by Murat, as a compensation for his trouble in procuring a passport, and the Countess of Lipona paid that draft out of her private fortune. A Sieur v ictim had also been mention e d a s the ctim of the blackest ingratitude. In reply to this, M. Barthe read the following letter from Armand :. " I have learned, with the most profound grief, that my name has been m ade use of t o accuse the Princess Caroline. I should b e th e most ungrateful of men if I did not prot est , against this infamous calumny. • M. Barth., moreover, contended, that the Ifacts alleged by Franceschetti were utterly desti tute of probability ; not only had he no means of advancing the 86,000 francs which he claim ed, but Joachim had no need of them. The pledging of his jewels, and his hills of exchange, had placed him above the necessity of such a loan ; and, as a proof of this, the Marquis de Riviere, who went to Corsica a few months after Murat's death, when, agreeably to the orders of Government, he demanded an account from the banker, Gregori, the latter declared he had 93,000 francs of the pro cee d s o f th e b il ls of exchange still remaining in his hands. M. Guilbert Boucher is to reply this day week. A rope-dancer named ROAT has lost his life at Copenhagen, by the breoking of the cord on which he was dancing. CABINET-MAKERS' SOCIETY.
