His coffin-board was brought into the house, and preparations were commenced for lay ing him out.

COUNTY OF BUTE.—Sir William Rae will walk the course, no opponent appearing to contest the field. The King of PRUSSIA has decided that from October 1, the amber found on the shores of the kingdom shall no longer be considered as droits of the Crown, but become the property of those who may employ themselves in collecting it. The receipts of the Custom-house of Havre during the last month present a decrease of 291,1671 r. compared with the those of August, 1832. The first eight months of 1833, compared with the corresponding months of the preceding year, present a decrease of 1,642,0361 r. The tendency to an exportation of the pre cious metals continms, but not at a rate calculated to excite any alarm, nor is thought by any means likely that it will become so, unless the state of the harvest should appear to he such as to render necessary a large imports• tion of grain. Some persons, indeed, go the length of affirming that the crop of wheat is a very deficient one, and this is the case certainly in some pains of the country, but there do not appear to be sufficient data at present on which to f>rm a conclu , ion respecting the whole of the united kingdom, and it should be borne i❑ mind that near the close of every harvest such reports are uniformly spread, whatever its actual productiveness may have been. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ON WESTMINSTER BRIM E. —Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a man, about 50 years of age, who appeared to have seen better days, was observed by several persons to be walking in a very melancholy mood on Westminster bridge ; he appeared abstracted in thought, and frequently struck his forehood. On a sudden he climbed up the ballustrades, and jumped off the bridge into the Thames. The alarm was instantly given, and two watermen pushed off in a boat, and with some difficulty succeeded in saving him from a water) grave. He was taken in a very ex hausted state to the house of Mr. Cruikshank, the land lord of the King's Arms, in Biidge-court, wh en ever y attention was paid him, and he soon recovered. Private letters from Berlin state the probabi lity& a change in the Prussian Cabinet ; the Minister for Foreign Affairs, it is said, is to be succeeded in his office by the Prussian Minister to the British Court ; it is cer. tain that the duration of the long penAng Oniference has delayed his Excellency's return for several months past, and as his laity and family have taken final leave of this country, the repored probable change is credited. The Clown Prince's influence in the Prussian Cabinet is said to be increasing daily. A petition has beat sent to Lord Melbourne by 122 prisoners in the King's Bench, praying that the Judges of the Court of Review might sit in this Court luring the month of October ; of these 122 persons, 77 save not yet presented any petition to this Court, 17 hay.- b-en already heard, 13 have orders for the present satings, whom four have been already heard. James Mather, Esq., of South Shields, was fined at Gateshead, the other day, in the mitigated penalty ..1 101., for Isis conseieutiou-ly refusing to collect the as• sensed taxes, he having been appointed one of the collectors for the township of Westoe,.../Yeweastle Press. OLD BAILEY,-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The Court were again occupied with a discussion upon the difficulty into which the " mistake" has thrown the cases of many prisoners, and impeded the course of justice. James Bowman, who was yesterday ordered to prepare for his second trial to-morrow morning, and who pleaded his former conviction, was again placed at the bar at the request of Mr. BODKIN, hie Counsel. Mr. BODKIN sairi that this case was one which arose out of that proceeding which had been very properly termed a " mistake." The prisoner had been tried, con victed, and sentenced to sev , n years' transportation, at the Clerkenwell Sessions in July, and i❑ pursuance of that conviction he had been transmitted from the House of Correction to Newgate, where he was now under an order of transportion. A copy of the order annexed to the affidavit upon which he (Mr. Bodkin) founded his motion stated the trial, conviction, and sentence to have taken pl ice on the Ist July, which was en the Monday, a day to which the " mistake" did not apply, as the Sessions were then properly sitting. According, therefore, to that order, it would appear that the prisoner had been legally tried, convicted, and sentenced. From the affidavit of the prisoner it appeared that he was now indicted, and was about to be tried for the same offence, for which he bad been before legally convicted, and for which he was now under s entence. By the order of this Court yes terday the prisoner was told, that on his trial to morrow morning he must produce the record of his con viction in bar of the second indictment, and an affidavit had been made by his solicitor, Mr. Humphries, who stated that he waited on Mr. Allen, the deputy clerk of the peace for the county of Middlesex, to obtain a copy of the former record ; that Mr. Allen said the prisoner had been convicted on the Ist of July, but that he had no record of the conviction, as the Justices had deemed the session to have been informal, and consequently it was considered there had been no trial. Mr. Humphries re• plied that a formal order of transportation had been made . and that under that order the prisoner was in Newgate, but Mr. Allen said he had made up no record of the conviction, and consequently he could not furnish any copy. So here was a case in which the error was discovered in this Court on the 4th July, intimation was immediately transmitted to the Justices at Clerkenwell ; and yet, on the following day, the sth, they transmitted the prisoner to Newgate under a fierrnal order of transportation, without their having any record of conviction. The Justices say, therefore, that the whole proceedings were null and void; and yet, as far as they could, they hail carried the sentence upon the prisoner into execution. It was therefore ne cessary, as the only course that could be adopted, to apply to this Court to postpone the trial until an ap plication could be made to the Court of King's Bench, for a mandamus to the Justices of Middlesex, requiring the production of a copy of the record. In point of law, that copy would be a good answer to the present indictment. Mr. Justice PATTESON said it must be incorrect to say that there is no record of conviction, for as soon as a conviction takes place it is recorded, although the record may not then be formally drawn up. He thoueht that the course suggested by the Learned Counsel was the only one that could be adopted. Mr. CLARK, the Clerk of the Arraigns, said there were other prisoners in a similar situation. _ Jr. Baron GURNEY said it would be seen whether they m►de a similar application. Mr. Justice PATTESON said there must be some record of couviction, and the prisoner must have the benefit of proving it if he so thought fit. The motion was then granted. ANOTHER SUPPOSED MISTAKE.—.Mr. TUMMY Stone, aged SS, was placed at the bar, on an indictment charging him with maliciously shooting at Mr. Upjohn. Before he pleaded, Mr. BoDKIN said upon this indictment a very important question arose. The prisoner was called upon to plead to an indictment which had been found by a Grand Jury, not at a Quarter Session, or General Session, but at one of the intermediate Sessions which had been esta blished by the Justices of Middlesex a short timeago—that is not at one of the ordinary sessions which bad been esta blished by long usage in that county. There was very great doubt whether the Justices were authorized to hold those inter mediate sessions, and I.e objected to the prisoners being required to plead, because if by law those sessions sheuld not have been held, then the indictment was bad, haring been found before a Court of incompetent jut is• diction. He would shortly call the attention of their Lordships to the law lin this subjeet. The 31st of Edward the Third, chap. 12, directed justices of the peace to hold four sessions a yet' at certain specified periods. That was the whole ex'ent of that statute bearing on this qu stion. The next was the statute of the 12th of Richard the II , chap. 10, the second section of which said that justices shoeld keep a sessions of the peace at every quarter " a the least." The latter words first rave rise to the suggestion that justices were autt.or;zed to hold session' more fre quently. but the etf-ct ot those words was destroyed by the 2d co Henry the Fifth, chap. 4, in which the words " at she least" were omit red, and the original duration of the first statute retained of four times a year, but adding, " and more often if need be." It was on the construction of those word- that his (Mr. Bodkin's) motion depended, because a subsequent statute, the 14th Henry VI chap. 4, referred to 111.ddlesex only ; all the former ones referred to all the counties in the kingdom. By those former ones justices neglecting to hold the stated number of sessions in the year, were liable to be fined at the discretion of the King's Council ; and the 14th Henry VI. gave the Justices no greater powers than they before possessed, but it reli-ved them from the penalties for not holding sessions because of the inconvenience and 'rouble the " commune's," that is the inhabitants of Middlesex experienced from being re qu.red to attend many sessions, and also the superior courts at Westminster ; that Act was to prevent the necessity of holding more than four sessions in the year ; and it stated that the Justices of that county should be subjected to no penalty if they did not hold more than two sessions annually. Then what con struction was to be put on the words "and oftener if need be." The words are exceedingly wide, but there was a case in point, v z. the King V, the inhabitants of Polstead, reported in 2d Strange, 1263, in which the construction was put upon them that he (Mr. Bodkin) retied on. That was an appeal against an order of removal, and it appeared that the justices met at the Suffolk quarter ses sions on the 7th April, adjourned on the 9th to Wood_ bridge, where there was not a sufficient number of justices to form a court, and consequently the session was lapsed, and met again at Bury on the 11th, where the order was made. It was argued that the latter was an original session and not an adjourned session. The Court of King's Bench decided that the words " and oftener if need be" did not confer the power of holding more than one original session in the quarter of a year. The Middlesex magistrates acted doubtless by a desire for the public good, and to get a quick delivery of the gaols, but if they bad adjourned the original sessions the present question would not have arisen, but it did where an inter mediate session was held, and for this plain reason ; the public could hardly know, and they were not bound to know, when those sessions were held, but they were pre sumed by law to know of all adjournments of original sessions, and of original sessions also, because all original sessions were fixed by law at cei tan periods. Parties who were bound over to appear at the sessions were bound over to appear "at the next general quarter sessions," and the periods of their commence went we re fixed by law. People at a distant part of the c untry would necessarily be unacquainted with the time when such new sessions would commence. For a considerable time there bad been eight sessions yearly in London and 'Middlesex, which is a greater number than allowed by the former Statutes, but that did not alter his (Mr. Bodkin's) view of the case, for they had geown up from necessity, were sanctioned by long usage, and had been repeatedly acknowledged in various Acts of Parlia ment. One objection to them therefore would be un tenable. But b. cause four additional sessions had been given up and were so sanctioned, that formed no ground for extending the principle still further, otherwise there would be no end to it. He knew there was some doubt upon the law, and there hail been a contrariety of opinions upon it ; but he would read the opinions of two emicent men in the case of the Justices of Stafford, in which the question was, whether as they wished to have quicker deliveries of the gaol, they cou.d hold extra original sessions, or should proceed by adjournment. The two eminent persons he alluded to, were the late Sir Samuel Shepherd, and Lord Gifford, then Attorney and Solicitor- General. The Secretary of State referred the question to them, and they stated they were not prepare.) to say the Justices had the power to hold Other original sessions, but as there was a doubt upon the subject, they advised them to hold adjourned ssions, about which there was no doubt. The Learned Counsel then alluded to the inconveniences which it, m ght ie urged were ;moved by holding intermediate Sessions, such, for instance, as keeping p lilies in custody who were trquitted, or no bills being found against them, for a h.nger period than necessary, bee euse it was not the prac tice to liberatesuch . - persons until the G: aria Jury were .Itschsreed ; but all those inconveniences might be re medied elsewhere, and they afforeed no justification for holding those ~,, two Se e r s u :i e o a nT e sll B 2 e u s t:riy ns in London, Ttierew ebs dndo lea than thirty. Westminster, and Surrey, and certainly all the ordinary business of the county did not call far additional ones. Seeing the inconvenience and expense of such extra Ses sions to the county, he submitted to their Lordship• whether it would not be better to postpone the trial of this indictment, until the opinion of all the Judges upon the point of law he had raised could be obtained, with a view of setting the question at rest. Mr. Justice PATTESOX—YOU move to put off the trial ? Mr. BODKIN said he would either make that motion, or that the trial should proceed subject to the opinion of the Judges. Their Lordships having consulted together for a con siderable time, said they would give their opinion on Monday morning, and ordered the trial to be postponed until then. A case of murder, in which the indictment was found under similar circumstances, was also ordered to stand over until Monday. Elizab-th Wratten, aged .50, was indicted for uttering a forged check for 601. 1”. The prisoner was led into the dock by a man and woman, and looked about the Court most wildly. Her appearance was that 'of decided insanity, and she seemed to know nothing that passed. When she approached the front of the dock, she snatched up the herbs that lay there, and sang in a low and mournful manner; at times she seemed disposed to do violence to those about her, and her hands were frequently obliged to be held. When called on to plead, she never answered, and the Judges after some consultation with the Counsel, ordered a Jury to be sworn, to try whether or not she was sane. We understand there sere several witnesses to disprove, as well as to prove that she labours under that malady. There were two indictments against her for forgery. The Jury having been sworn, William Woodward stated, that he was a policeman of the Woolwich district, and he knew the prisoner. Her husband was a messenger in the Dock-yard at Woolwich, and had a grocer's shop. Witness was his shopman about eight years ago, and for 18 months. In June, 1829, witness went to Wratten's house, and found it on fire ; Wratten and his daughter were from home, and the pri soner was nearly naked, and escaping out of the house. She appeared much distressed in her mind, but conscious of what passed. After returning front the fire, witness found her in Mr. Matthews's house, close by, sitting in a chair, and much distressed in her mind. She was looking at the fire, and observed that it seemed very awfully grand. She did not seem to admire it. Her son George was sitting soar her, and she asked where he was, although he was by her side, but she was not looking towards hilt. Witness was in the service of her sister (Mrs. Baldwin) at one time, and observed something strange in her. Mr. BODKIN, for the prosecution, objected to evidence respecting her sister. Mr. PHILLIPS said he proposed to prove insanity to be a family complaint. The COUNT held the objection to he good. Cross-examined by Mr. Bouxix—She kept the shop until she was apprehended on this charge, and attended s Oely to it. Had never seen her conduct herself as she did to day in Court ; she always appear, d to witness to be rational. When she acted for her son it appeared only to be the solicitude of a mother fcr her child ; witness placed him before her and she was satisfied. In April last she sent fir witness about letters. The shop she now occupied and she rap, essed herself rationally and intelligibly. The trial was proceeding when our Reporter left. NEW G,, UR T. A CHEESE FANCIER.—John Adams, was indicted for stealing on the 15th July, a the .se, value V. 5i., the property of Mr. Retigrave, a cheese factor, of Wilson street, Somers Town. Thomas llama, a shoemaker, residing in Wilson street, stated that on the day in question, he saw the prisoner coming up Wilson-street with the cheese under his arm, suspecting he had not come honestly by it, he stopped him, and on taking him to Mr. Wilson, he claimed the cheese as his property. John Adams, the prosecutor, identified the property, and recommended the prisoner to mercy. The prisoner in his defence said, that he had been employed y a person he did not know to carry the cheese to Lon 4on for Is. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Henry Cole, a regular member the swell mob, was indicted for stealing from the person of Eliza Talbot on th e 23d of January last, two pursts, containing four halt crown•, and 8.. Elizabeth Talbot stated that on the day in quastion she was cuing done Whitechapel, and on coming to the end of Goula'one street. she was surrounded by six or seven n en, among whom was the prisoner at the bar. Her bag was cut open and the purse taken out. Two of the men who were in comp-my with the prisoner had been pre viously convicted and transporte.l. Was quite certain the the prisoner was an accomplice in the robb-ry. Several otter witnesses swore positively to the prisoner, who strongly denied having any participation in the robbery. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. James Smith, James Stracey, and Henry Stracey, were indicted for stealrog, on the 29th of July, a carpet bag containing two coats, value 81., and several other articles of wearing apparel, the property of Anthony Brown Storey. Mr. Storey stated that be resided at 58, Lincoln's-inn fields, and was studying for a conveyancer. On the 28th of July last he packed up a quantity of wearing Apparel in a carpet bag, which he gave to the bog, directing him to take it to the Greyhound in Smithfield. Those articles never reached their destination, and pros , cuter never saw them till they were produced a' Wm ship-street. G urge Coursell, a boy 12 years of age, stated that he was errand boy to Mr. Storey, who, on the 28th of July, gave him a carpet bag to take to the Greyhound, Smith field. As he went through Lincoln's Inn-fielda, he met the prisoner Smith, who inquited if he knew anybody that was in want of an errand boy. Witness toll him he did not. After they had proceeded a little further, Smith inquired where witness lived, and on being told at 58, Lincoln's Inn-fields, he asked the name of his master. Witness replied, Cooper. Smith then walked on with witness till they came to Fulwood's Rents, Holborn, where witness told him his mistress wanted a servant of all-work, and after asking witness where he wis going, Smith lett him. Witness went on till he came to King's Head-court, Holborn, where he saw the prisoner James Stracey, who gave him a note, directed to Sirs. Cooper, which he said he had received from Mr. Storey at the Greyhound, with a desire that he should give it to witness, who was to take it to Mrs. Cooper, and bring back the things mentioned in it, and he (Stracey) was to take the carpet hag to the Greyhound. Witness inquired how Stracey knew him, when he said Mr. Storey bad directed him to give it to a little boy whom he would meet with a carpet bag. Witness then gave the carpet bag to Stracey, and posted off to Mrs. Cooper, where he discovered the trick that had been played upon him. Thomas Tipper, policeman, F 152;stated that he was returning from Cierktinwell Prison, in company with another pcliceinan, when he met the three prisoners in Fieet-atreet. Smirh had a bundle under his arm. Witness sl:spected that all was not right, and followed them to Holywelf-lane, Shoreditch. Smith and Henry Stracey stopped behind, and James Stracey took the bundle. Witness followed hint to a house in Anker.street, accom panied by his fellow policeman. Saw him go into the back parlour, where he left the parcel. On his coming out witness stopped him, and asked him what he hail dune with the parcel, and who gave it him. He said he re ceived it from a person named Smith, whom he did not know, desiring him to leave it at the house. On examining the parcel, it contained gentlemen's apparel. Shortly afterwards saw the other two prisoners coming towards the house, both of whom they secured. On searching Smith they found the plate of a carpet bag, with the name of Storey upon it, Charles Brooks, policeman, 121 F, corroborated the statement of Tipper. On searching James Stracey, found a pair of spectacles and slippers upon him. The ptisoners made no detence; and the Jury found Smith and Jatnes Strac, y guilty, and llenry Stracey not guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Harding was indicted for stealing money from his master's till. William .Tones deposed that he was a grocer in Pad dington ; the prisoner was in his employ as shoptnan, and had access to his till. He missed money on various oc casiorw, and of course suspicion fixed upon the prisoner as the only one who was a at:anger that could go to the dra , er. Marked mtin.y was put in it on one occasion. ~art of which was found missing, and on the prisoner being searched, it was found upon biro. His box was also searched where a considerable sum was found, 01 which he could give no account. Prosecutor had PO ioubt it was all Lis, as the boy had none when be entered service. The prisoner war fuund guilty, and as the Cluirman ,trasidered it was necessary to use severe measures in order to put a stop to an evil that was duly inereasinis he .entenced him t o b e transpor!e d f ur 14 years . Three men n ame d S m i t h O wen, ha d St range , and two women named O wen and Al a b aster, were i nd i c ted uudtr Me 61 Geo. IV. fur baring is their puswoiou liftrsiz counterfeit sixpences, with intent to utter them, or put them off. hree sergeants of the H. division of police went, on the 7th August, in consequence of information, to a house in Chapel-court, Essex -street, \Vhitechapel, and found all the prisoners sitting round a table, with tea dishes on it, but neither bread, butter, sugar, nor tea in the pot, nr water in the kettle. One of the prisoners threw some thing away, which was found to he a bag containing 45 sixpences finished as to the making, but not quite ready for circulation. On the prisoner Smith nine sixp"ncee were found, and on Owen two, all blackened, as it wan rall'd, and quite ready for being sent out. These wan a large fire, and on the floor was found a broken mould, and in the cupboard a hag of plaster of Paris. The six pences in the bag were warm. Mr. Field, inspector of the Mint, pronounced all to he counterfeit, and all from the same moult'. Smith, in his defence, said he had called on Owen, who invited him to take a cup of tea. He saw a piper on the mantleshelf, and thinking it was tobacco, put it in hi.- pocket. Owen said he knew nothing about the money. but on going to the cupboard in the morning had found the hag and taken two out merely to know whether they were good or not. Strange was merely on a visit to Owen as was Owen to Alabast-r. They were all found guilty, and the Chairman then informed the jury that Owen and Alabaster were the makers; the others had been on a visit c e rtainly, but it was to obtain a supply of the base coin ; they were well known as utterers. He sentenced all of them to one year's imprisonment and hard labour, twelve weeks of the time to be spent in solitary confinement. The rest of the mitrnisg was taken up with Mint cases similar to the above. THE STORM. WRECK OF THE AMPHITRITE. (From the second Supplement of the Boulonnaise of Sept. 3.) We have just witnessed a most shocking event. The Amphitrite English transport, Captain Hunter, struck the shore on the 31st August, at five in the evening, in the direction of the old wood fort opposite Eultert's Mill. It had on board 108 women, condemned to transportation for crimes of trifling importance, twelve children, a crew of sixteen, and the wife of the surgeon. The wind blew with extreme violence, the sea ran high, and as the vessel struck at low water, it was certain that at best, when the tide rose, the vessel must go upon the rocks. The danger was imminent; it was necessary to inform the captain of it; but how was it possible to risk putting to sea in such weather ? Nothing, however, could stop the brave flenin, whose devotion and courage we have before had so often occasion to notice. He threw himself into the sea sight of a thousand persons, who could all see the courage with which he surmounted the waves that appeared ready to overwhelm him. He approached the vessel, and told a sailor of the dangerous position in which the ship was placed, and then returned to land, after buffetting against the storm for an hour and a half. The notice he gave, however, having produced no effect, the pilots, Huret and Tetard, got together nine men, and launched a boat, but the wind was so high, that it was only after four ineffec tual attempts that they were able to approach the stranded vessel. They asked for a rope to establish a communica tion between the vessel and the shore. A sailor threw them one, and our boat approached the shore, but they soon perceived that those on ba trd the vessel, instead of letting the rope run out, were stopping it. It being im• possible for them to hold on by the rope without risking their lives, they were obliged to drop it, and return to land without Oa .t means of succour. The brave Huret and Tetard thus saw all their efforts frustrated by the re fusal of the captain to receive assistance. We have since learnt, from one of the three sailors saved, that the surgeon, who in these kind of voyages has a control over the captain, refused all assistance, would not let the captain land, and thus, by his obstinacy, occasioned the loss of the crew and women he ought to have landed at Sidney. At ten in the morning, the tide having risen, the vessel was driven against the rocks. The captain made signals of distress; but it was too late, help was impossible. Three men only saved themselves—two sailors and the mate. The two first are at the house 01 Mr. Barry. master of the M wine Hotel, and will soon be able to go about. The third is in perfect health. By the exertions of the Paris correspondent of the Standard, who happened to be at Boulogne, a subscription has been op-n e d, which already amounts to 900 francs. Its oh jest is, lot. 'To enable the men saved to return home, and in demnil them fur the loss of their clothes. 2nd. To assist the widows and children of the drowned sailors. 3rd. To iecompense H, , nin, Huret, Tetard, and the men in the boat for their devotion. 4 , th. To buy a life ho it in order that we may be able tr assist disrressed vessels in the most stormy seas. s!h. To reward the officers of the Royal Humane S ,, ciety for the care they h lavished upon the bodies i n the hope of restoring them ti life. Mr. Hawes, son of the founder of that society, Mr. Barry, of the Marine Hotel, M. Medlin, son of the Prefet du Nord, wi , h Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Hawes, and other Englis , ladies, have distinguished themselves by thitr benevolent activity on this occasion. Sixty six bodies have beer, found up to the present moment. The English and French clergy in Boulogne will on Sunday preach a sermon on behalf of the subscription, end steps have been taken to obtain a benefit for it at the theatre. We take this opportunity to deplore the putting in force a sanitary measure, which we cannot help calling absurd. The Custom House offs •ers have orders to let no one ap preach the vessel, so that when moments are precious, and life is at stake, unfortunate sufferers are cut off Irmo he:p. We ha Ito deplore the effect of a similar arrange ment on the wreck of the American ship Williams. These sanitary regulations ought surely to be revise►. They are more fir for b-abarialis than a civilized nation. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 4.- The sites are again limited, amounting to not more than 1,500 bags. The market is steady, though the low quali tire of cotton have a tendency to fall in price. VIOLENT STORM.—Early on Sunday morn ing the town and neighbourhood of Harleston was visited with the most awful tempest ever remembered by its (tides , inhabitants. Considerable injury has been sustained I), the loss of stock, cause I by the thick darkness during the dreadful stortn.—Sherbo-ne Journal. An occasional visitor to Brighton asks what authority the Post Office authorities charge onr penny in addition to the regular postage on every letter and newspaper delivered in that town 1 And whether the Post Office is not bound to deliver every l-tter theta on payment of the postage only, as throughout the metro polity and other large towns? The House of Bischoff and Co., of Buck lershury, one of the most respectable in the city, an , which has enjoyed for many years past high consideration and credit, suspended its payments yesterday. The lia hilities of the firm are stated to be about 150,000/ , but hopes are entertained, from the circumstances which have led to the stoppage, that a very large percentage will 1,, realized on that auto for the benefit of the creditors. appears from what has transpired in the city, that assu rance might have been obtained, and the affairs of do house proceeded as usual for some time to come, but tin partners, on a close investigation into their affairs, saw reason to apprehend that their difficulties could not he sur mounted, and they adopted, therefore, the more honour able course of suspending payment at once, rather that incur further loss, and perhaps enable particular creditors to obtain payment in fall, to the detriment of the general ba,ly of them. Besides the London house of business the firm hat establishments at Cadiz, Gibraltar, Mexico, and other places abroid. They were largely engaged in the trade in wool, but also acted very extensively as ge neral merchants. On account of the great estimation it: which the parties are held, the event has caused deep con cern among commercial men in general. THE WEATHER.—The transition from warm to extensive cold weather was probably never greater that, it was on Satutd ,y list, and so parched was the earth rum the late drought, that notwithstanding the rain that copiously fell from Friday night to Sunday morning al• most incessantly, it did not penetrate the soil on an ave rage more thin four inches deep, but it however p, e pared it for saturation by the gentle showers which since illowed, and the face of the country is now considerabf. improved. In many places the pumps became useless and springs were di tea up, and the trees assumed an autumna' h ue , In St. James's Park several ttees were stripped ott Saturday of their yellow leav s, and are now as bars; as tkuugh it were the depth of winter, and the foliage in Kensington Gardens has alsa undergone a great change. file storm on Saturday, though attended with some mis chief, was beneficial to the health of the metiopolis, as it swept a.. ay much foul vapour, and purified the air; while the heavy rain cleared the sewers and carried tff the accumulated filth. BEES v. BAILIFFS.—LateIy, at Rethel, three bailiff* having gone to a house to make a seizure for 414, the debtor went into his garden, and brought into his house a bee hive, and having shaken out the bees, the annoyance was so great, that the intrusive vioiters were compelled to take flrght.

Some alteration in the Post-office regula tions as regards the Lisbon, Brazil, and other mails, is 'ouch desired by our merchants. At present letters for those mails are required to be he put in by four o'clock in the afternoon, with an extension of time till five o'clock, on payment of sixpence with each letter. These letters, however, do not leave London till eight o'clock by the mail-coaches, when they are despatched with the inland letters to the agent at Falmouth. There appears to he no reason why the tnerchants should not have the advantage of the-s three additional hours for their correspondence by the Lisbon and other foreign mails on the Falmouth st, tion, which may, and indeed do, often prove of the greatest impuitance to them. The consequence is, that the greater part of then are put to the inconvenience of em ploying an agent at Falmouth, to whom they transmit their letters by the regular inland post, and by whom they are put on hoard the packet; while to the Post-office itself the inconvenience results of collecting so much reve nue at Falmouth, which would be better, cheaper, and more effectually collected in London. In the cotreep 'met with Mexico and Spaniel South America a still mote singular anomaly presents itself in our Post office .rrangements, which is, that letters for those parts are not receivable after four o'clock, while those for Jamaica or the Leeward Islands, which are carried in the same packet, in like manner with the inland letters, will be , aken its till half-pa-t seven. These circumstances are mentioned in deference to the wish of parties deeply con cerned, but with little hope of any useful result, since the Post-office has manifested latterly a resistance to re form, and an indifference to the commerciil interests, against which it has become almost wholly usless to contend.— Times. Consi.lerable apprehension was entertained for the safety of the Royal Yacht Club, which sai►ed for Cherbourg the day preceding the tremendous storm of last week.

THE ROWITES.—This sect having been pre vented from pouring forth their manifestations in the ordi nary places of worship in this city, have betaken themselves o a hall in Carruber's clos where they assemble every Sunday. One might suppose that having h--re the .vhole field to themselves they would be allowed a free utlet for their fanatical and violent display., but it seeme that matters do not go on smoothly, as will appoer front he following account of their proceedings on la-t Sunday, with which we have been favoured by a gentleman who vas present. Mr. Tait was preaching, and ever thing pro •eeded quietly for some time, where at last Mr. Anderson, the individual who had previously distinguished hirnst-If in the College Church, started up, and shouted out, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 1 have come to warn you," and few words in a similar strain ; upon which the greater part of the auditory, at least that portion who att-nded ruin mere curiosity, rose up, and a most unseemly scene ensued. One person said he (Mr. A,) was a liar ; others " turn him out ;" and there was considerable hissing. qr. Tait was then appealed to, several people telling him t was a shame to ailow such a thing to occur in a church. llr. Tait, after pausing for some time, gave them a rt buke (or their interference. Mr. Anderson rose again, and tonarnenced to address the people in the same terms as efore, adding that he was a prophet sent down from the Lard. This annunciation was followed by considerable ,confusion, in the midst of which Mr. Carlyle got up. and Mier uttering something pulled Mr. Anderson down, hi s nanner indicating that his tri•nd was going too far. Come ,arative order was then restored, with the ext-eption of few occasional interruptions o❑ the part of the str.ngere. —Edinburgh Observer. THE ATROCIOUS MURDER ATWANTAGE. PARTICULARs.—WANTAGE, Stn. 3.—Ota turday miming our town was in the ereatest s , ate of ionfusion in consequence of the body of Ann Pullin, a v , olow, who kept the White Hart public-house in Newbury street, having been discovered lying in the aitchen, the head being completly severed from the h,rfy, rid the floor and wainscot deluged in blood. Suificion failing on two men, George King, a farmer's labourer, of Cumner, Ba rks, and Charles Alerriott, a labourer, of Wan age, who bad slept together in a hayloft in Back•iitreet, cy were both taken into custody, and kept apart.
