First-rate Stabling, and a careful Hostler. One of the first results of the municipal re form in the corporation of Edinburgh has been, that the Lord Provost's salary is fixed at 500 d. for expenses; if the latter exceed that amount, he is to pay the excess himself. The " tribute" has been a decided failure in the ;own of Galway, and the editor of one of the papers there announces the circumstance in the followinggdjscant " Willing as we may be to throw a mantle over — the faults of the inhabitants of Galway, yet in justice we are obliged to state that the collection at the several chapels of this town --- bat' been disgraceful in the extreme. Despite all our exhortations, no previous arrangement was entered into, all was apathy and want of feeling, a heartless and un principled dereliction of duty."

It grew on the banks of the Mohawk Oneida Coun'y, and was cut down about two years since. Thirty one yoke of oxen were required to remove the trunk alone. The area of its base is so ample that its possessor occupied it as a booth or tavern for some time in the sicinity of Utica, where it was purchased for the purpose of transporting it to Europe for exhibition. The original bark still coats its exterior, and the interior has been scooped out and furnished as a saloon with furni'ure, so that it will accommodate upwards of forty persons.

After considering for a short time whether he should go to a surgeon or not, be resolved to try an ex periment of his own, which was, to replace that part of the finger which was cut off, and bandage it up. The wound soon healed, and he is now able to u•e his finger as well as ever.—Edinburgh Advertiser. A farmer of Haberhausen, in Suabia, on the 24th ult., in a fit of religious fanaticism, killed his wife by cutting her throat, and then heating her violently with a metal crucifix in order, as he said, to drive the devil out of her.

Plans by Mr. Telford, the architect of the bridge which crosses the Menai Straits, have been submitted to some of the parties mainly interested, and approved of. The expense is calculated at 30,0001.—Blackburn Gazette.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, Nov. 21 The General Session of the Peace commenced yesterday for the city and liberty of Westminster, before FRANCIS CONST, Esq., Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates. DUTIES OF JURORS,—The name of Mr. Palmer, the artiste in the wardrobe department for Drury lane-theatre, was. called upon to serve. It Was stated that his services were so strictly required that day at the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, attendant upon the revival of Shakspeare's tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra, that he could not dis charge the judicial functions required of him. The COURT said urgent business could not be pleated in excuse, as it might serve for every occa sion. All tradesmen -and citizens had business to transact, but the administration - of the laws was absolutely necessary. Mr. Palmer could not be excused. The usual fine of M. was then recorded. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Joseph Wood, a young man, was indicted for stealing two bottles of sherry, the property of George Biddulph, Esq., of Spring gardens, his master and employer. "die prisoner, who bad lived in several families of distinction, called no witnesses to character. Ver dic'—Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John IVilliana Harric, who was examined on Wed nesday upon the charge of having written a letter to Mr—Hale, threatening to set fire to his house, was brought up for re-examination. The prisoner began to address the LORD MAYOR, but his Lordship said, " I am ready to hear any thing you may wish to say, but I would have you speak to your solicitor before you make any defence. It is my duty to send you for trial." Tile prisoner was then committed for trial. Two brothers, very small boys, were brought up for the purpose of being bound to a chimney sweeper. The master sweep said that the boys had.had a trial of the flue, and took to it wonderfully. In fact they were already very clever at running up, and would in all probability cut a figure in the pro fession, as it exactly hit their fancy. The LORD MAYOR asked the children whether they had such a preference for the business of sweeping chimneys They replied they never could think of anything else. They had run up frequently since they had been with the master; and although they had scraped the skin off their knees, and elbows and ancles, the only thing either of them cared about was a flue, a sootbag, a scraper, a copper-fronted cap, and a black skin. _ . The LORD MAYOR told them they should be indulged to their heart's content in the sweet and enlightened occupation. The boys were very thankful, and said that even iF they had been put to any other trade they would have taken to the chimney. They had the advantage of other boys in one respect ; when any wonderful sight passed along the streets, such as the Lord Mayor's Show, they could in an instant have a bet ter look out than any body else without being jostled or obstructed. This was admitted to be a decided advantage, and the boys, to their great gratification, obtained the sanction of the Lord Mayor to the delightful treat of tumbling about in the soot and dancing on May-day in the morning. BO W-S TREE T. ATTEMPT TO PROVOKE A DUEL.—Mr. mus H. Hunter, a chymist and druggist, lately car rying on business at Margate, was brought up on a warrant by Fall, the officer, charged on the informa tion of Mr. Lane, a surgeon practising at Chelsea, with having on the 19th inst. sent him a letter con taining language calculated to excite him to commit a breach of the peace. The defendant at once admitted having sent the letter, but said it was in consequence of having re ceived provocation which no gentleman or man of spirit could brook quietly. His wife had occasion to consult the complainant on a point relating to— Mr. HALLS here interrupted the defendant, ob serving, " I perceive, Sir, you are about to enter into affairs of a private nature, and I must stop you. My simple duty is to inquire if a breach of the peace has been committed, or attempted, and, if it appears that there has, to hold the offending party to bail ; but I cannot suffer this office to be made the me dium of promulgating private slander, either on one side or the other." The defendant again attempted to enter into the alleged cause of provocation, but was peremptorily stopped by the Magistrate. The letter wss then put in, and was in the following words : " Meet me at Hyde Park-gate to•:norrow morn ing, at daylight, and if you have the spirit of a man, which I doubt, you will not mention to any one your having received this letter, except to your friend whom you appoint, nor will you sleep at home to-night. I shall bring a brace of pistols with me, which you might have, or which you might forget. A friend of mine will probably call upon you in the course of the afternoon, but if not you can write to me, addressed No. 25, Wardour-street, Soho."—(Signed by the defendant.) Both parties again endeavoured to enter into some ' recriminatory matter, but were again stopped, and the defendant was ordered to find bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 50/. each. Last night two gentlemen attended, and bail being put in Mr. Hunter was discharged. MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

Yesterday William Newman, a young man of re spectable appearance, was brought to this office in the custody of Sergeant Holt, of the N division, charged by Louisa Prior, a handsome-looking girl, a servant in th e emp l oy o f Th omas W ar d e n, Esq., of High•street, Islington. The prosecutrix had been about two years in her situation, and the family were in the habit of allow ing her to go on every Sunday evening to Islington ' Church, where she became acquainted with the prisoner, who, after having met her several times, represented himself as the son of a respectable licensed victualler in Yorkshire, and led the girl to believe that he was entitled to considerable property, and that, i n t h e course o f a s h or t period he was coming into possession of a public-house on the road side- He professed strong attachment towards the prosecutrix, made her several trifling presents, one of which was a wedding ring, and a correspondence ensued between them of the most tender kind, in which the prisoner adopted all the soft and persua sive arts of love, in order to convince her that the world to him without her would be a perfect chaos, (PRICE 7D.) and that he could not exist without her society The unfortunate girl, puffed up with the most re mantic ideas, began to curl her hair, neglect her business, assume all the airs of a landlady, and the crockery underwent • sundry smashings, until about three weeks since, when she met the prisoner at church, and he; informed her that he had made arrangements to . go into the country prepara tory to . setting up •in the • -public line, and being shorf of money he • asked her to lend. him 41., whieft•he promised faithfully to return to her when he 'came' back from Yorkshire. She in stantly parted, with the money, and he promised her marriage, and vowed that the ceremony should take place in a month afterwards. He subsequently made other applications for loans, until he deprived her of every, shilling which she had in her possession, and he, finding that he had 'extracted the'whole" of her money, declined future visits or meetings,. and after many hours' of silent grief and meditation she com municated the " breach of . prt mise" to her brother, and also the whole of her Kist Iy, on which he pur sued the prisoner, who was e% ntually apprehended by Sergeant Holt, and lodged in the station-house at I,slington. . • Holt produced a letter in tberprisonet's hand writing, which had been sent by him to the prose cutrix. It commenced, "My dearest, dearest love," and stated that in a few weeks they would be plea santly situated in a public-house; that he had made the necessary preparations to proceed to the coun try, and that nothing on earth should delay their union and debar them from future happiness. The letter was interspersed with doggrel rhyme, and was wound up with It Yours, for ever, &c., &a." Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Did you first meet him at church ? Prosecutrix—Yes, Sir, when I was sit• dug in a pew. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Did you know anything of the prisoner previously? Prosecutrix (with sim plicity)—No, Sir; that was the first time. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—What did he say to you ? Prosecutrix—A great many things, Sir, and that he should like to have me as his wife. Mr. Sergeant SELLON (smiling)—He never set you up in a public-house, did he ? Prosecutrix— No, Sir ; he said he would do that after we were married. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—How came you to be so simple as to believe what he said to you, eh ? Pro secutrix—He spoke so affectionately and seriously, Sir, that any body would have believed him.— (Laugh t er.) Mr. Sergeant SELLON—But still you ought not to have parted with your money so foolishly. Prosecutrix—But be said he would let me have it again, your Worship. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said that it was an infa mous and wicked transaction, and asked the prisoner what he had to say for himself. Prisoner (coolly)—My dear Louisa knows werry well that I loves her, and wouldn't rob her for all the world; no, not heven for the hinges of gold. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—What do you say about having borrowed her money from her in the way you have done ? Prisoner—You are right, your Wesship, I only borrowed it by way of loan. I assure you I meant to return it if she only gave me time. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Why did you promise her marriage ? Prisoner—l own I did, I don't deny it; but she wouldn't have patience. Prosecutrix (blushing)—l am sure I waited with great patience, your Worship. I don't think he means to marry me now, that I don't.—(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant SELLON concurred with her, and asked the prisoner how he dared commit such a barefaced imposition upon a poor simple artless girl, and to aggravate his offence by commencing his nefarious purpose in a church. Prisoner—l don't deny having borrowed the money of her, which I intended to pay her back again. I certainly did expect to have been set up in business in the public line by my friends. I wrote to the country for remittances and was dis appointed, or she would have had the money. The prosecutrix's brother here said that he had made every inquiry, and he was led to believe that the prisoner was in the habit of meeting simple girls at church and chapel, and making them the victims of his artifice, and that the country public house by the road side and all the beautiful pros pects merely existed in his own imagination. Mr. Sergeant SELLON regretted that he had it not it in his power to punish the prisoner. The girl parted voluntarily with her money, and it could only be viewed as a matter of debt between them, and he discharged the prisoner, leaving poor Louisa to her remedy by action at law for the re , covery of the money, or the breach of promise o Imarriage. ty - and iambs, besides pigs, every week, and now half my business is gone. Mr. BRODERIP said that Mr. Halton ought to be able to regulate the 5 1 9 01Pstic_affairs of his establish ment without makita application to the magistrates to do it for hires. r He must make the best of his bargain. Mr: Halton—This is the worst bargain I ever made. She is the plague of my life. She is so suspicious that I can't look about me. Will you • tell me how I'm to get rid of her ? Mr. Cosigt- , -No, we can't, indeed. How long have you been married ? Mr. Halton—For eighteen years, I am sorry to say.—(This was uttered with such a long-drawn . sigh and ludicrous self-sympathizing : manner as to cause great laughter.) Mr. COMBE—And how has she behaved all that , time ? Mr. .Hatton—Oh just the same, exactly the same, Sir. Mr. "BRODERIP—Then, if your story is true, I do pity -you,--(A. laugh.) Eighteen years of it is pretty good. Mr. CoNnE said he endeavoured to persuade the parties to come to a better understanding when they Were last before him. They made a very ridiculous exhibition, the wife swearing the shopman had Stolen a leg of mutton, and the husband declaring it was a falsehood, and that no mutton was lost. Mr. Halton—There was no lea of mutton lost ; my wife will swear any thing; she would swear the devil's; life away if she could.—(Loud laughter.) I never knew such a woman.—(Here Mr, Haltott was interrupted by the opening of the door, tov.srds which he looked very anxiously, and evidently mud* alarmed, expecting to see his wife; but finding it was some one else lie took fresh courage, and proceeded to state that she swore falsely against his brother, and got.him.confined.for,debt for .five years.) Mr. BRODERIP said that was no fault of the wife, but of the applicant, in whose name the action was brought. His wife, as a femme covert, could have nothing to do with it. Mr. Halton—Oh, yes, it was all through her. It was for a debt of 2501. she got him locked up. Mr. COMBE—You had no occasion to proceed with the action against your relative, unless you pleased. Mr. Halton—Oh, Sir, I dared not do otherwise; my wife would have it so.—(Much laughter.) Mr. BRODERIP—You could have liberated him. You had it in your power to do so. Mr. Halton—Why, yes, Sir, I might; but I was afraid of my wife's anger. Besides, she had done some dirty tricks. I hope you will assist me in getting rid of my wife. Mr. COMBE—We cannot assist you to do that, Mr. Halton—Can't you, now ? What am I to do ?—(lncreased laughter.) Mr. ConmE—No, we cannot, indeed. Mr. Halton stood still for a few seconds, with his eyes fixed on the ground, and then took up his hat and walked slowly out of the office, exclaiming, " Oh, dear, what am I to do with my wife ?" CRIM. CON. IN THE HEPTARCHY.—Under our Saxon ancestors, by the laws of Kent, when a peca dillo took place which in modern times brings the partite into the Ecclesiastical Court, the gentleman became " the property" of the King, and the lady of the Archbishop. Every widow making a faux paux paid, by the same token, " twenty shillings to the King,"—a mighty pretty addition to the civil list. —See Sir Henry Ellis's Gene ral introduction to Domesday Book. STEAM NAVIGATION.—The subject of es tablishing a communication by steam between Great Britain and India has excited a degree of interest creditable to the Calcutta public. The papers of the presidency, during the past week, have teemed with communications on this sub ject, and the sum already subscribed in Calcutta alone has, in nine or ten days, exceeded 34,000 rupees. This is the more remarkable, when we recollect the decision of the public ►meetings of the 14th inst., and the disasters occa sioned by the late failures. The contributions hitherto have been principally those of the European residents of Calcutta; and it is confidently expected that the fund will soon receive considerable accessions from the Mofussil.- Gyananneshun, SPRATS.--It is asserted that the oil of sprats, when ignited, produces a more brilliant light tha❑ that of whales, with the advantage of being inodorous. Persons who are fond of sprats should beware and not eat them to excess lest they should be consumed by internal spontaneous combustion ; and instead of frying sprats in future, run the chance of being fryed themselves. During the latter part of Handel's life, about the year 1753, in the Lent season, a Minor Csnon front the Cathedral of Gloucester offered his services to Handel to sing. His offer was accepted, and he was employed in the choruses. Not satisfied with this department, he re quested leave to sing a solo air, that his voice might be heard to snore advantage. This request also was granted ; but he executed h:s solo so little to the satisfaction of Isis audience, that he was, to his great mortification, violently hissed. When the performance was over, by way of con solation, Handel made him the following speech :—" I sin very sorry, very sorry for you indeed, my dear Sir; but go back to your church in de country : God -.ill forgive you for your bad singing, dese wicked people in London, dey vill not forgive you."—Mirror. LARGE PIKE.—A pike, weighing 221bs. was caught, on Friday last, in the Derivent Lake, by Messrs. Pearson and Walker, of Keswick. This immense fish took the minnow, and in consequence of the tackle being very fine, and only having single gut next the books, it occupied its captors a long time, and required very skilful exertions before it could be finally secured.— IVhitehaven Herold. NAVAL ADVENTURES.—In this work we are promised one of the most eventful lives which ever occurred in " the Service." The author is known to have undergone greater vicissitudes than are usual even in the hazardous life to which be belongs ; and to have seen more of storm, shipwreck, battle, and strange countries than the majority of his brethren. In chronic ling his career, he has not confined himself entirely to the romantic, and too often tragical circumstances attend ing it, but has given also, with true spirit, the peculiar butnours of life on board a man-of-war. We are happy to state that there is every prospect of the shipwrights of Whitehaven having very full employment for the ensuing season. The new steam boat for the Whitehaven Shipping Company is contracted. for by Messrs. Brocklebank, and will forthwith be coin menced. The keels of several other large vessels will shortly be laid by different builders, and among the rest of a large vessel intended for the East India trade, by Messrs. 13rocklebank.— Whitehaven Herald. OUDE.—To the north of Khyrabad there is a large wilderness inhabited by a wild race, who diet on iackalls ; they are armed with spears, and were first dis covered by their rushing out in a body of near 400 men, and plundering some treasure forwarded by the Govern°. General to Bajee Row. The first mention of them was made by his Lordship at Gwalior ; on which the authori ties at Lucknow made inquiries into this matter, and, after a long and fruitless attempt to surprise them, Nawab Roshen od Dowlab gave private orders to one cf his sir dars, named 11Iaindoo Khan, who proceeded to Laharpoor, a village adjoining the jungles, and rinssed the night there. When dawn began to break, he proceeded with about 150 armed men to the jungles, and arriving there by sun rise, perceived about 4,000 of these savages scattered in the jungles. A conflict took place, in which about 40 of the Oude troops were wounded, and Maindoo Khan, their leader, killed, together with 400 or 500 of these savages. The party succeeded in capturing about 2,000 of them, who were forwarded to Lucknow.—Bengal Hurkarn, June 29. ..:-„,~, FORTY-ONE SHILLINGS WORTH OF KIND L00K5...-. On Thursday a country girl attending the fair seemed much pleased at finding a young lad directing some very expressive glances towards her, which she, in the innocency of her heart, construed into "looks of love," and expected every moment that the supposed lover would break ground. , To her dissappointincnt, however, no advances, saving an occasional rub in the crowd, were made, and all at once the man of kind looks noofthtiiinegwwaanst footfindheorunlitoinuet., but disappeared.

UNION-HALL. Yesterday William Wiley, the driver of a ca briolet, was charged with having wilfully driven against the phaeton of a gentleman named Baxter, by which his life and that of his wife were en dangered. The Magistrate commented in severe terms on the conduct of the defendant, and awarded him to pay the damage which Mr. Baxter's phaeton sus tained, besides the expenses. The defendant had not the means of paying the money, and was committed for one month to gaol in default. THAMES POLICE. MATRIMONIAL BROlLS.—Yesterday a Mr. Hal ton, a butcher, who carries on business in High street, Shad well, waited on the Magistrates in a very disconsolate mood, and said he had particular busi ness to transact with Mr. Combe, who happened to be on the bench. Mr. BRODERIP (pointing to his colleague)—llere is Mr. Combe. If you have any thing to say, ad dress him. Mr. Halton (addressing Mr. Combe) said it was the misfortune of his life to have a very bad wife, and lie knew that the worthy Magistrate was the gentleman who would give bun assistance, as he de cided the case about a leg of mutton which his wife said his man stole. . Mr. COMBE—WeII, I can't help your having a bad wife. I recollect she said you tippled a little. What has she been doing to you? Mr. Halton — Oh ! I can't get on any how with her; she does just as she likes; she goes out when she likes, and comes in when she likes ; and she takes all my money as fast as I can earn it. How am Ito get rid of her ? Mr. BRODERIP said the Magistrates could give him no advice on that point. He had taken his wife for better and for worse, and the worse seemed to preponderatei; in fact, she was much worse than he took her for. Mr. Halton—Yes; she is much worse than I took her for. She abuses me if I talk to her, and says she will have her own way whether I like it er not ; and she goes out, and remains absent for a week, with all the money. Mr. BRODERIP—WeII, if she does all that, why don't you keep her out. Mr. Halton—Can't I kick her out when she comes in ? Will you let me bide her a little ? (Loud laughter.) Mr. I3RODERIP and Mr. COMBE—Oh no, no; you must not kick her out, you must not beat her. Why don't you keep the money yourself ? Mr. Halton— Because she won't let me have it. She has brought me to insolvency once. I had a fine shop of busi ness. I killed.twenty bullocks and a hundred sheep i a tic OVir 8. d.
