box; which waa fastened by three small nails, and .corded, was directed to the plaintiff, at Bedford. It was delivered, in the usual way, to the defendants' wangonena and by ahem placed on the outer rail of the vac-` on. It was secured with ropes, and covered caa with a tarpaulin. The wagon left London shortly after the delivery of the box, and stopped for a few hour e , in the course of tile night, at Bell-bar. Whilst there, the contents of the box, which were worth over 2001., were stolen, and the plaintiff' now Sought to recover the am ount f rom t h e d e f en d ants. The defence set up to the action was, that the plaintiff had received notice of the defendants' hav ing limited their responsibility to the sum of fi/. except the articles above that value were entered, acid insured by the - payment of an additional rate— and further, that the vooth, were packed by the plaintiff's servants in so negligent a manner, as to render the theft more than usually easy, and not to afford that reasonable security which a carrier had a right to expect from those who sent goods to his wag gon, especially when those goods, as . in the p resent in etance, were of considerable value. Witnesses were also called with the view ofshowimanthat the waggon,whilit it stopped at Bell-bar, had been carefully watched by the two waggoners, and by the cztler; but it ap peared upon their cross-examination, that the wag gon was allowed to remain on the high road, and at a distance from the Inn, and that the side of the waggon at which the box was packed was within two or three yards of a shrubbery. The proof of the service of the notice on the plaintiff was that, in the year 181;', when this businesa was carried on by - other persons, although in exactly the same man ner,. the plaintiff received a - card, in which the responsibility of the carrier was limited to five pounds; that her brother had, to her knowledge,. suffered a similar •loss about the same time, because he had not insured his goods. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE in summing up, told the Jury that the old law - very properly made carriers insurers, in order to prevent their collusion with thieves. They had, however, contrived to creep out of their responsibility, by giving notice of their limiting it to 51. unless the goods were insured. To make this notice- binding. on the plaintiff, two things were absolutely necessary ; first, that she Must be clearly proved to have received it : the evidence on this paint should be of the most positive nature.. And secondly, it ought to be shown that the carriers had not either, by them selves or their servants, been guilty of negli gence. The Jury would therefore haVe to say whether there had not been negligence, and very g...ross.negligence' too, on the part cf the defendant, in allowing the waggon to remain without a sufficient watch on the high road, where it committed a nui sance every moment it stopped there. - the Jury, after d e lib erat i ng f or more than s even hours, found a. verdict for the plaintiff, on the ground of negligence in the carriers. Damages 315/. t3a. 4d. HILL V. BARTLEY. Thia was an action for the recovery of 2C;I, the balance due fo r th e pr i ce o f two horses, sold by. the plaintiff to the defendant at the 'Kingston Fair, in November, 1825. Th e only question between the parties was, whether at. the time of the sale the whole or only part of the price had been- paid to the plaintiff? The witnesses, examined as to this point were chiefly horse-dealers, and their evidence was of the .most contradictory nature. It having been stated by Mr. Sergeant : SPA Mgr], in his opening speech for the pLintiff, that his anent had offered to give up his claim to the balance, if the de fendant should make an affidavit that he had paid , the entire amonnt, Mr. Sergeant Apams, for the defence, now pro duced an affidavit to that effect, sworn before Mr. Aldei:man BchOley. The i ,ORD CHIEF innarrez—with reference to this 'part of the case, said 'that the practice- of swearing parties, where they had a direCt interest, ought to be discontinued. The inagiatrale lied no jub m . o :ion to administer an oath of this description, and as the- party rnal.inp: such an affidavit \vas not liable 19a prosecution for peajury, the magistrate was only sanctioning an anpeal to tire Deity, vvhere such appeal was unnecessary, if" not directly mischievous, It Lad been lately declared • by Lord Eldon, that both the magistrate administering such an oath, and the party making it, were guilty. of a - misdemeanour.— In this opinion his Lordship fully concurred.

Charles Roberts., a soldier in the Ist battalion of the 3d Foot Guards, who was acquitted yesterday on an informality in the indiettnent, was again put On his trial this day, char ge d with extorting money from Grace, the wife of Saimiel Singer. Mrs, Singea• repeated the evidence she had given on the trial ye,iterday, Which was to the eflect that the prisoner came to her house, which if. No. /Al, ' 'Wellington-terrace, Waterloo-road, on the evening . ' of the "25th June, and informed her that he had a cheree i'if a very serious nature to make arinst her husband, and that he would raise the neighbour hood by making public the charge, if she did riot give ‘-him five shillings. The witness was greatly agitated, and gave the prisoner the five shillings. On two subsequent occasions he called again, and on the first received Ts: Bd., and on the other Mu He afterwards came and ,demanded 5/.

Acting- ecniiptrofier. une 1 I roller'k . Coin . ESCAPE OP SIX CAPITAL CONVICTS FROM NEWGATE. This morning, about three o'clock, the greatest commo tion prevailed in his Majesty's gaol of - Newgate, in conse quence of the escape of six capital convicts, amona7st w h om are the two notorious characters White and Roach : who had been convicted during- the last Session. About the hour above stated, Mr. Lynch Cotton (son of Dr. cotton, the Rev. Ordinary, whose dwelling-house is in Newgate street, and the first round the corner from the Old Bailey, the rear of which abuts the north wall of the prison), who slept in the hack attic, was awoke by a noise - over-head, on the roof. ' He listened, and distinctly heard footsteps, and some person say " This is the way, Charles." He then heard them attempt to force the trap-door, but could not, as it was very securely bolted within side. Mr. Cot - ton, jun. at once suspected that some of the prisoners had contrived to escape from their cells ; and, cautiously creep ing from bed, aroused his - father, whom he informed of the circumstance. The Rev. Gentleman, with all possible haste, joined his son in endeavouring to cause their capture. Young Mr. Cotton repaired immediately to Newgate, and rang the prison alarm-bell, which was instantly answered, and he gave information to the Governor and 'the rest of the Officers of the affair, of which they were previously in ignorance. The officers and turnkeys instantly a rme d themselves, and ran in all directions in pursuit of them, assisted by. young Mr. Cotton, who expressed him self quite satisfied the prisoners had not gained the street from the roofs of the houses, as only seven minutes had elapsed from the time he first heard the noise. He there fore stationed a party of-watchmen in Warwick-lane, and others at various posts, to intercept their progress slioud they pass. Mr. Cotton - himself took his station on the north side of Newgate-street, and kept a-sharp look - out towards the roofs of the houses between that of his father and Warwick-lane. He had not been long there before he saw the door of an empty house gently opened, and two young men, dressed in frock-coats, (White and Roach), come out; he stood for a moment inactive, and saw them turn towards Cheapside, a nd the n e xt moment out came four more, and the instant he saw. them he shouted as loud as.he was.able " Stop thief, stop thief!" and in an instant the whole of his party came up and joined in pursuit of the convicts, who ran as fast as they were able, the first two making for the east, and the others towards Holborn. The first two, although closely pursued by the officers, suc ceeded in making their escape, but the other four were safely lodged in their old quarters. Officers were despatched in all directions after the others, and instant information was sent to the Lord Mayor of the circumstance. Islis Lordship Proceeded to Netvgate, and with the Go vernor examined the prison, and the means adopted by them to facilitate their object, when it appeared that they bad broken through the thick walls of their cells, and thereby gained the yard, and then scaled the north wail, and descended to the roof of Mr. Cotton's house, which is a height.of about ten feet ; . they then crawled over the roofs of six houses, to get at that of Mr. Walcon's, out of which they made their escape; but in what way they contrived to descend from the top to the bottom, cannot be ascertained, as nearly all the stairs hare been. removed. The Lord Mayor, when we' left the prison, was. busily engaged with Mr. Wontner, the governor, in investigating the matter. The pe;sons of the two men that have fled, are well known to the Police-officers, and we have not the least doubt but they will be soon retaken.—Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Lynch Cotton, for his promp titude in the busine6s. IMPORTS. A document has just issued from the office of the Inspector-General of Imports and Expo&,, showing the quantities of articles imported and entered for home consumption, for the years 1790 and 1826, distinguishing the amount in each year. The 'Wine imparted at the two periods was nearly the same, being in 1790, 3,778,069 gallons ; in 1826, 5;510;677 gallons. The same may be said 'of brandy.

Partridges' nests are said to be,very plentiful this year ; but the ruthless scythe, in not a few instances, has proved - fatal to both eggs andpouts. The rye grass crops were in general so light last season, that the mowers saw the nests before they came upon them, and in this way saved many a family of callow nestlings ; but this year they had no means of avoid ing mistzkes, which were at once hurtful to their own feelings, and injurious to the pursuits and plea sures of sportsmen. In one hay-field no fewer than ten nests were discovered, and though the dams escaped, the pouts were nearly all sacrificed. The sleet and snow which fell on •3d of April last, as well as the wind which blew with such fury dur ing the day, drove many partridges from . their irateh: ing encampments, and completely drenched and ruined their nests, altholigh most of them, we be lieve, repaired the evil by laying eggs a second time. But, in :spite of these and other drawbacks, partridges, it is thought, will be plentiful on the whole. 0141 birds are very numerous ; and if - the harvest is as early as it now promises to.be, there will be noble sport on the Ist September. The accounts from the moors are rather flatter ing, although it is no easy matter to collect accu rately the statistics of grouse. The pouts, thus far, have had plenty of water, and we have not heard of a single circumstance, at least ,as arising out of the weather, tending to keep their numbers down.— Dumfries Cou,'ier. BEES. iu -Ireland, there is at once a want of employment, and a p•reat superabundance of hands, and, strange is may appeal, similar evils are beginning to be felt much nearer home, among the mtmbers of a very int ?re,;tilq e6minnuiLy. We allude to the bees w L _ -e-ho al'e willing to \VOi as hard as ever, bat who, from the deciency of food and the increase of com petition, are !wetly nearly in the same situation that the poor weavers were twelve months ego. The immediate et .ire of this, is over populousness—the remote one, probably ; the numerous encroachments which have been made on mossoneree,and meadow, by that great practical reformer--the '.lough. Garden flowers may be more plentiful than ever, but wild ones and heather have been long on-the wane, and yet there are far more bees in the country than ever was known at any former period. In conse quence of this, the insects alluded to are literally in some places half-starved, and so far from yielding a contingent of honey, flnd it difficult to support them selves over winter. In not a few instances, th e y lack strength to send off fresh swarms from the parent hive; in others, the casts are so " wan-thriven" a n d feeble, that thev never do any good. Where wild flowers are rife, or in the vicinity of heather, bees thrive very well still, but in dietricts where arable land abounds, they yield a very low rate of profit, simply as a ooiiticrll economist would say, because too much capital. has been invested in one particular branch of our rural manufactures, Almost every 'coulee that a''d b e or r e m ad o t r h e clover realnd purple ly speaft - eing, missit heather, which are as necessary to th e p ro p er nurture of hees,a,s our moo r s an d mounta i ns are to t h e growt h of sheep. Still we d o not say that this is wrong; as a necessary of life, corn is far More essential than honey, but considering the changes which have fol lowed the gradual extension of agricailture, and the effect they must have had in limiting the favouiiie keep of bees, it is certainly time to limit their num bers in the same proportion. That the evil will cure itself we have no doubt ; but, in the meantime, both mone y and time may be thrown away in attending to insects who are too much occupied in. providing for themselves to yield the usual tribute to man. A great mistake exists as to the quantity of flowers necessary for the proper nourishment of a hire of bees. A stranger who steps into a gentleman's garden, and sees the bees roaming from flower to flowea, is apt to think they have food enough at their feet, without strayieg many yards from home. But th e saccha rine matter which the bees extract Is collected in the smallest portions imaginable, and unless they have room and verge enough of fiowera," it is owte im possible that they can carry en business to any ad vantage. Such bees as continue near the skep the whole day are geoerelly the weakest membere.of the hive; and the others, excepting during bad weather, uniformly roam to a considerable distance. A gale of wind distresses them sadly, and their gossamer winos are no match at all for a strong south-wester. In such circumstances we have seen them clinging for hours, war-worn and weary, to a garden wall, and then dropping, exhausted, on the ground. Every hive, therefore, should be surrounded with towers, as a sort of in-door comfort, when the b ees can not go a-field. In Germany, Switzerland, and some other countries,they regularly shift the stations of the bees, and, in other respects, pay as much attention to their comfort, as the shepherds in this country do to their sheep, But as the practice has never been adopted in Scotland, we presume it is held to . involve too much trouble and e expence; and as the cultivation of those Lowers which the farmer e a vi e weeds, would be deemed huge nonsense t.}.)c pre sent day, we see no cure for 'the eyil:camOained of but a rapid diminution of the. number of sleeps.

I .. ne ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES AT L6_a, ON-BRIDGE. . , In the progress of the works' to form the foun dations of the new London-b r id ge , antiquities are daily_brought to light, which afford proof of the ancient magnificence of the metropolis, as the centre of opulence and luxury in this island, whilst under the domination of the Romans. A considerable quantity of Roman coins, gold, silver, and brass, have been found, and one small, silver statue, which has been deposited in the . British Museum. In the course of the excava tions a few days since, the leaden figure of a horse was brought up, and it is now in the pos session of Mr. Knight, an engineer. The exe cution of the head is of the highest order of the antique, and in spirit it may be compared even with some of the heads of the Elgin marbles. The same gentleman has, amongst a considerable collection of remains, one curious specimen of ancient glazed tile, a number of - rare Saxon coins, and a considerable quantity of counters and gun-money. The remains, as soon as 'they are discovered, are "contended for With great eeal by rival collectors, and by persons who are desirous of having some memorial of the old bridge. The workmen, who at first considered all the coin they met with as being merely old half-pence, which were worth nothing, because they would no longer ' pass, soon discovered. their error, and now have all become con noisseurs, and can distinguish between the Roman 'coins of the higher and lower empires, and even detect an Otho or au Antonine. Mr. R. L. Jones, the Chairman of the Bridge Committee, has zealously obtained all he could, with the liberal intention of presenting his set to the CorporatiOn, to form the nucleus of a collection its the New"Citv Library. He has, besides, amongst a number of indifferent coins found some time since, one Roman coin, with the inscription P L ON, which the, antiquarians read Peet/lila LOlldin:, , zctie:or:neiand consider to have been struck in the metro polis. Mr. Newman, - the comptroller of the Bridge-house Estates, has made a considerable collection of coins, ancient implements, and plate, which have been found on the spot. The coins are chiefly Roman, amongst which are several ConSular, but few' in remarkably good preservation, or of extreme rarity. The most frequent of the Roman coins are flide of An ' tomus Pius, df which Mr. Knight has one good specimen, in large brass. Saxon and-old Eng lish coins have been found -in great abundance, together with many ancient instruments, warlike, ' sacerdotal, and domestic; spurs, spoons, 6ao-- , gers, crucifixes, chains, and manacles. e But there is reason to believe that an exteniive trade in spurious antiquities has been earied on about , the bridges by unscrupulous 0/: mischievous in dividuals, through the medium of the workmen. Not long since a bron7.. head was brought forth l as having been fctund, whilst digging- .30 feet deep in the ; blue. clay. The preservation of the article was considered most remarkable, and its lantiquity was conjectured to be long anterior to the Roman period. From the workmanship, it was judged to be Carthaginian. A gentleman. who is confident he is not mistaken, declares that saw it, some weeks before the time of itsUs covery "30feet deep in the blue clay 9" and-that it then . occupied a place in the window of a broker's ,' - iiri the New-cut, To guard against impofii • e ;t fis,• and the dispersion of the articles found.. the Workmen have, we understand, been directed i to deposit all they discover with . - Mr. Knight. ' When the fact of the discovery is properly' au thenticated, they receive a fair compensation for the treasure trove, whatever it mar be. • kis very necessary, however, that the corporation and. the public should be put upon their guard against the fabrications of spurious antiquaries, who ha - re . of late been much upon the alert to entrap the uninitiated, and have been very successful, espe cially in the city. The following instance -of an attempt at imposition with a vase, which had well nigh got into a national collection hav ing mystified some of the Antiquarian Society, hae excited sonde amusement. . ./. 7 ', vase , Ir o sa f ,arsy t . . h b e ruol b ,lni l g a s i c l k to ffo e atrirntlid sale.ooufbb ,t v :e ,.

The workmanship was of a primitive character ;'but the incription, which afterwards excited no, little interest, was as follows : L CLODIVS HIRPANVf; VIXIT ANNOS etv DES V PTEEoIt HALITY REFOCILLATVS ET EDVCATVS. The antiquarian, who is rather more. vk - ary 0-,, r , most of the Fellows of the Society, would offer no more than a guinea for the vase, a sum which even a necessitous fabricator was not likely to accept, as it would fotrrt no compensation for . an elaborate and ,well executed piece of workman ship.
