BOULLANCOURT (REMOVED from Montagu-square to No. 20, KEPPEL STREET, RUSSELL-SQUARE, and formerly with Monier DELEBARE, Dentist to the King of France) again solicits the attention of the Profession and Gentry. Since his last invention of the TERRO-METALLIC TEETH (and which through his means are now generally used by other Dentists, and give to the public such univer sal satisfaction), he has invented a NEW SILICIOUS ENAMEL, with which he can cover discoloured or de cayed Teeth, imitating the beauty and freshness of nature so near as to defy the closest inspection, and, yet so firtn and durable that neither acids nor heat will act upon it. He likewise makes with it Teeth, from one to a full set, with Artificial Gums, upon a peculiar and much-admired principle, fixing them without springs, ligatures, or clasps, thereby preventing irritation, and frequently loss of those teeth which the spring encloses ; likewise his new Terro- Metallic Anodyne Cement will be found superior to any thing vet offered to the public.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. On Saturday Captain Cervantes, a gentleman who served in the Peninsular war, appeared before Sir P. LAURIE, accompanied by some friends and Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, to complain of his baggage having been improperly seized by some watchmen in Holborn, whereby he had been pre vented from going on board the Liverpool, an Os tend steam-vessel, and had forfeited his passage money. Sir Peter immediately despatched messen gers, who brought before him an inhabitant of St. Andrew's, Holborn, now serving the office of night constable, of the name of Daly, Hidden, the inspec tor of the watch, and Robert Evans, a watchman. The Captain stated, that the vessel was to start at three o'clock on Saturday morning, and at twelve o'clock at night, he commenced loading several trunks, &c. in a truck, which he had hired a porter to draw, some young gentlemen his friends having promised to assist in pushing behind when the man came to a hill, if the load was otherwise unmanage able. In order that he might experience no inter ruption, he applied at the Eagle-street Police-station, the nearest to his residence in Chapel -street, Bed ford-row, and the aid of a policeman was granted to him to accompany the truck. When they reached the bottom of Fleet-market about half-past one, a watchman (Evans) inquired about the luggage, and complainant told him it was all his own, and that a policeman would come up presently who would satisfy him all was right. The watch man said the policeman could do nothing in the city, and ho would not come; and that he should not suffer the truck to proceed till his superior had been acquainted with the matter. Wilder', the in spector, was immediately fetched from the watch house, and complainant showed him a letter from the captain of the steamer, referring to complainant's passage. Wilder said the letter did not satisfy him. He must see the contents of the packages. Witness said he would show him the contents of any he would point out; but Wilder fixing on a large trunk which could not be conveniently got at, witness refused to open it, and Wilden then insisted on taking the whole to, the watch-house on Holborn bill for examination. Some of the party professing to assist in pushing the truck up the hill, threw the porter down, drove the truck over him, severely injured his right hand and legs, and overturned the LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1830. packages into the street. By this time a host of had characters had assembled, for the purpose of plunder, and one of his friends had his pocket picked of a handkerchief and a pipe worth five guineas. The trunks were tumbled about the street twice more in the way to the watch-house, where com plainant first presented the aforesaid letter to the night constable, who refused to look at it. Evans explained, that Mr. Daly had not learnt to read. The Captain next proposed to leave two of his friends as hostages, as he should lose his passage if the luggage were detained any longer. The night constable, however, insisted on examining the trunks, and witness proceeded to open them till he was satisfied, but with his porter disabled, his truck broken, his ropes cut, and his luggage disarranged, it was impossible to prcceed. A gentleman observed, the complainant should have had some passport given to him. " Yes, the passport system will, I suppose, be the next alteration," replied Sir Peter, smiling. The Captain observed that somebody said " - the man" when be was flung down. Sir PETER replied, that what had been said was not so material as the propriety of stopping the truck. He then questioned the watchman, the inspector, and night constable, Whose 'account of the affair agreed with the complainant's in substance. When the porter was asked what.he had in the truck, he said he did not know, but his employers were close at hand. Then the Captain came up and said a po liceman was coming who knew all was right, but as no policeman did come, the watchman thought fit to send for his inspector, and leave the case to his dis cretion. The inspector thought it necessary to search when the Captain refused to open a particular trunk. One of the Captain's friends said, he would see the inspector---- , before he should examine the trunks in the street. The examination was finished in time for the Captain to proceed if he had chosen, but his friends advised him not to go, but to complain to Mr. Somebody in- Scotland-yard. The watchman even offered to repack the luggage, and draw the truck. Sir PETER said the mischief arose from the pc 'iceman not formally giving up his charge to some city officer, on reaching the boundary. Case dismissed. because he conceived it was a matter of too much importance to be decided except by a jury, and he had no doubt. but that the Commissioners had taken the same view of the subject, and continued tine man in order that his dismissal might not prejudice the case. The defendant was then held to bail, himself in 201., and two sureties in 401. each. Too publicans afterwards came forward to bail him, — a circumstance which the Magistrates observed upon. lIATTON-GARDEN. A young man of the name of Charles CaHeat, and Anne his wife, were finally examined at this office on :Saturday, before Mr. LMNG and Mr. ROGERS, on a charge of coining. It appeared in evidence, that on Saturday even ing, the 24th of April, four police-constables be longing to the le , ter G. division, who had previous information given them that the prisoners were in the habit of coining, proceeded to their lolgiags in the front room, second floor, of the house No. 30, Lower Northampton-street, Clerkenwell. Through a crevice in the door, the constables first perceived the prisoners sitting at a table by the fire-place in the act of coining. The man was stripped, and had his shirt-sleeves tucked up ; he held in his hand a mould, and seemed to be pouring into it the liquid metal, while the woman was cleaning off with emery paper a heap of newly-made coin that lay on the table. The constables immediately burst the door open end rushed in together, when the male prisoner bounced up in great agitation, and letting the mould drop from his hand, he exclaimed," Oh, I'm done!" At the same instant the woman exclaimed, " Oh, you villains," and struck Se:pant Love, one of the constables. She then trampled upon one side of the mould, which lay on the floor, until she reduced it to powder, it being made of plaster of Paris, and endeavoured equally to demolish the ether side, but was prevented. After the strictest search had been made, the prisoners were conveyed away to the watch-house. The prisoners, who appeared to be greatly affect ed, declined to say any thing in their defence. They stated that they were tnan and wife, but had no _ _ . They were fully committed to New= ate for trial. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY I.—The Pallas, 42, Captain Fitzclarence, which sailed from this port on the 22d July, last year, for Calcutta, with Lord Dal housie and the Bishop of Calcutta on board, arrived from that Presidency yesterday, having left Cal cutta on the 7th January. She has brought to England Lord Combermere and Staff, late Corn mander-in-Chief in India, his Lordship having been succeeded by the Ent of Dalhousie. The Pallas touched at Madras, from which she sailed on the 16th January (where she left the Satellite, 18, Commander Laws); the Cape of Good Hope, which she quitted on the 7th March (leaving there the Maidstone, 46, Commodore Schomberg, and Falcon, 10, Commander Colpoys); St. Helena, from which she sailed on the .20th March, and Ascension on the 28th. The Southampton, 52, was at Penang. The Challenger, 28, Captain Fre mantle, sailed from Madras on the 14th January, with a freight of silver, for Calcutta. The Tweed, 28, Captain Lord J. Churchill, and Jaseur, 18, Commander Lyons, were at the Mauritius. The s, E poir was on her passage from St. Helena to the Cape. The Pallas, on her arrival at St. Helena, fell in with the Sybille, Commodore Collier, and with the Dallas, her tender. The Sybille was per forming strict quarantine, in consequence of the sickly state of her crew. Lieutenant Carrington, Royal Marines, died at sea on the 28th February. Lieutenant Greene, invalided from the Sybille, died at sea on the 29th March. The Dallas had cap tured, between March, 1829, and January, 1830, four Brazilian schooners, having on board 1,595 slaves. The Sybille was to sail for the Coast, touching at Ascension, on the 27th March. The Chanticleer was lying at Ascension. Great consternation pre vailed at Calcutta on account of the failure of the house of Palmer and Co. It was understood they had stopped payment for three millions sterling. The Earl of Dalhousie was sworn in, and took his seat in the Council, and command of the Army, on the Ist of January. The Pallas passed Terceira or: the 21st ult., when all seemed quiet. The only vessel cruising there was a brig, apparently a Por tuguese man of war. The Pallas has been extremely healthy, not having lost one man who sailed in her from England. She has brought home several rare and valuable animals, viz., a Royal Bengal tigress, so tame that she runs loose about the deck ; cheeta, or Indian hunting leopard; a very fine spe cimen of the elk (the female' unfortunately died on the passage); an Angola goat, and a variety of an telopes, &c. Extract of a letter dated Constantinople, March 25, 1830 :—" We hear from Tiflis, that the Russian troops at Erzeroum are busily employed in repairing and strengthening the fortifications, and that they are to keep possession of that place, it addition to the other concessions made to theta by the Turks. In the boon stipulated to be paid at the peace of Adrianople, the Russians have made a considerable abatement, but the Turks give up the fairest portion of Armenia. Mr. Gordon, the British Ambassador, has strongly remeastrated against this arrangement, not only to the Reis Effendi, but to the Russian Ambassador. The possession of Erzeroum is a great point gained by the Russians, as it at once opens to them a trade to India, down the Euphrates and Tigris rivers -into the Persian Gulf. A stronger blow could not be stiuck against India than this arrangement gives. Tile Persians and Turks are so completely under the thumb of the Russians, that the trade will be uninterrupted. Mr. Gordon and the Austrian Ambassador have also insisted on the Porte granting the same facilities of passing the Dardanelles to vessels of their respective nations as the Russians are to enjoy." We have letters from his Majesty's ship Win chester (with the flag of Vice-Admiral Griffith Col pays), bearing date Barbadoes, March 13. She was to sad on the following day for Jamaica, leaving in structions at Barbadoes for Vice-Admiral Fleming, should the Winchester not fall in with the Barham, to join the former officer at Jamaica. The Russian fleet, from Malta, of four sail of the line, four frigates, and four coevettes, with three Admirals' flags flying, passed the Isle of Wight, for the North Sea, at day-light y ester d ay morn i ng; t h e y were spoken with off I3eachy Head in the after noon, by the Nelson, pilot vessel, Buxev, master. The following is extracted from a letter we have received, dated Toulon, April 26, 1830 :—" It is said here that Prince Leopold is not so anxious to assume the sovereignty of Greece, as the Courts of France, Russia, and England are desirous of his tilling that high station. His Royal Highness ob jects to the confined limits of his kingdom—insists on having a larger body of French troops than it is contemplated to send, and says he cannot go with out money. This first objection cannot now be oh viated—he must be content w ith th e range o f coun try prescribed for him. His wish for additional troops w:11 be attended to, and the 57th regiment (1,600 strong) is forthwith to embark at Toulon for the Morea, where the French force will be increased to 8,000 men. As to motley, lie was offered on Monday last, through a Marshal of France, twenty millions of francs, from the Prince. de Polignae, with , out effect. On the other band, the Greeks ate ex-' PRICE 7D. pecting their Sovereign Prince, whose residenet is to be at Athens. The Turks have left Negro pont and have gone to Candle, in which island the) mill in future keep up a strong garrison. The French expedition against Algiers is expected to sail about the sth of May. Several Officers of tin' Malta garrison are here on leave to witne-s the em barkation. The appearance of the preparations promises every successful result ; the ships are in the roadstead, and those that require further re pairs have workmen sent them from the Deck-yard. Most of the store ships are at anchor in Metres Bay, which is rether exposed, and one of them were on the rocks a few days since and lost the whole of her cargo of provisions. The steam-boats attached to the fleet endeavoured to save her and her cargo, but the sea ran so high, they could only save the crew. From Malta we learn that the Dey 'of Algier, is making every preparation for defence—he has formed several additional batteries ; has established a field train of artillery ; and not being deficient in cash, has in pay at leat 50,000 Arabs and natives, and other troops, who are constantly exercised." Extract of a letter dated Cape of Good Hope, March 4, 1830 We have had no rain at Simon's Bay for many months, and every thing is very dry ; a .fair average crop of corn, -oats, and barley ha, however, been harvested. Trade at the Cape is very dull ; little or nothing is doing. Corn maintains the price of 101. 103. per load ; merchants are exporting considerable quantities. Some disturbances are ru moured to have taken place among the Caller tribes, but with the exception of a few head of cattle having been stolen, :nothing else has taken, or is likely to take place." By the last information from Fernando Po, we hem. that Captain Morgan and four marines were all that - remained alive of a detachment of fifty men taken out by that officer. Colonel Nichol had gene to Ascension for the recovery of his health. lie lost his voice from the effectsof the disease ofthe climate. The Ocean, 80, Commodore d ampbell, sailed from St. Helens on Monday, and arrived at Ply mouth on Tuesday, to be paid off. - The Victory, 110, Captain Hon. Geo. Elliot, was paid-off yesterday; and at sun-set, Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford struck his flag, the period of this esteemed oflice.ls command at this port having expired. This morning, at eight o'clock, Admiral Sir Thomas Foley, as Sir Robert's succes sor, hoisted his flag pro tempore on board the Ganges, 81, Captain Hayes, C.H., the ship allotted for the permanent flag of the Commander-in-Chief at this port being the St. Vincent. This ship was paid off yesterday at Plymouth, when the Earl of Northesk struck his flag at that port. The Galatea, 4f, Capt. Chas. Napier, C.B. will proceed to Ply mouth to-morrow, to afford hands from that ship's company, in conjunction with the Undaunted and Blanche frigates, to bring the St Vincent to this port. The Caledonia, 120, was commissioned to-;lay, at Plymouth, for the flig- , hip of Amiral Sir Manly Dixon, the Commander-in-Chief at that port, when Sir Manly hoisted his flag. The following are the appointments to her :—Capt. M. Curry, Com mander G. F. Dixon, Lients. Goold, Sinclair, Jones, Glasse, Amherst, Mure, Somerville, Foote, F.L. ; Mr. Fillis, Purser; Captan Cottell, Lents. J. Clarke and Churchill, Royal Marines. The Briton, 46, Capt. Hon. Wm. Gordon, was paid off on Tuesday last, and recommissioned imme diately, for the Channel Service, by Capt. J. D. Markland, C.B. The following officers have been appointed to her :—Lieutenants N. Cory, T. Ster ling, C. W. H. G. Fitzroy, H. Codrington ; Dr. Scott, Surgeon ; Mr. Thompson, Master; Lieute nants Parker and E. Parke, Marine Officers. His Majesty's yacht Herald, Cant.

On Saturday John Harding, police-constahle No. 99, letter E division, was brought before Mr. HALLs, charged by Peter Mallard, Esq., a county Magistrate, with having assaulted him on Tuesday evening last. We believe it was that gentleman's intention not to have pressed the present charge, had the defend ant met with that punishment which his conduct appeared to merit, and which Mr. Mallard had reason to believe would be inflicted upon him, in consequence of a communication which he made on the subject to Colonel Rowan. It appeared that the man, in the first instance, was dismissed, but almost immediately restored to his situation, be,. having brought forward three witnesses, whose tee- . timony gave a different complexion to the statement of Mr. Mallard, in consequence of which that gen- . tie:flan determined to bring the matter before a jury, who would be best competent to decide as to which party the weight of credit ought to be given. The hearing of the case attracted a very crowded audience, and several Magistrates, both of the county and city, were on the bench, the fact of the sudden restoration of the defendant after his im puted misconduct having excited a strong sensation both west and east of Temple-bar. It is right to add, that the defendant offered to apologize to Mr. Mal lard, but that gentleman, upon public grounds, de clined to enter into any such arrangement. ..._Mr. Mallard having .been sworn, described the. rough usage which be had met with from the de fendant in nearly the same words which he had used on Wednesday, and added, that but for the illness of his son, who had witnessed the transaction, he would have brought him forward to substantiate his statement. Sarah Scott, the woman on whose behalf Mr. Mallard had interfered, said, that on the evening i n question she was standing at the corner of Lascelles court, Holborn, when she saw the defendant using a child roughly. She remonstrated with him, and told him he was not on duty. He called her a -, and said, " I will teach you to know whether I am on duty or not." He then dragged her across the street as far as Museum-street, and then brought her back again and let her go. The people cried out shame, and advised her to take his number. The defendant, in reply to the charge, was about to call witnesses, when Mr. HALLS told him to give his o‘vn version of the matter first. The charge against him was, that he took the witness, Sarah Scott, into custody, an d dragged her in an opposite direction to the police station, where it was presumed he had intended to convey her, and that he afterwards let her go with out even bringing her before a superior officer That he also took the complainant, Mr. Mallard, into cus tody, and after dragging him likewise in an opposite direction from the station, let him go.—The de fendant said that lie took the woman into custody for abusing him, for correcting a child by order of its mother. Mr. HALLS—How ! are police constables provided with rods to chastise naughty children ?—A serjeant of E. division said, that the defendant told the Com missioners that he took the woman into custody merely to intimidate her. Mr. HALLS—So, then, it appears to be part of a policeman's duty to correct little children, and frighten old women. The defendant proceeded to state, that Mr. Mal lard, whom he did not know to be a Magistrate, and did not believe to be a gentleman, had stated that which was not the truth, He had interfered with him most improperly, telling him he had no busi ness to act in that way, as he was not on duty. A police constable was. however, always on duty. Mr. HAus--Was he sober at the time ? Mr. Mallard—l should certainly say, from his conduct and the language which he used that he was not sober. The defendant admitted that he bad been to see a friend, but denied that he was intoxicated, and also that he had used any bad language. Mr. Mallard—Why, when you came to my house to apologise to me, you said you were sorry for having abused and called me names. Defendant--No : I deny that I said so. Mr. Mallard—lt so happened, that I left the par lour door open on purpose, in order that what you said might be heard by others, and I can bring three witnesses forward to prove the fact. The Clerk here said that the defendant had been locked up in Marylebone watch-house the preceding day for an assault. Defendant—That has nothing to do with the pre sent charge. Clerk—Certainly not; but it is right the Magis trate should know your general character. The defendant then requested that he might be allowed to call his witnesses. Police-constable L 112 accordingly came forward and said he was present at the transaction, but did not interfere. He heard no bad language used by the defendant, and considered that he merely per formed his duty. 3.1 r. HALLS Observed, that it was Unnecessary for the defendant to call more witnesses, as he had made up his mind to send th e case to t h e sess i ons . He would not inflict a fine upon the defendant lIORTICULTFRAL SOCIE t The Society met on Saturday at their house in Regent-street, at one o'clock. Mr. W. KNIGIIT, the President, took the chair. The report of the council was read, and adopted by the meeting. It stated that means had h: en taken to dispose of the arrears of correspondence, and to reduce the establishment ; that a sale of a porrnion of the Transactions on hand would yield a sum of money towards the disclrarge of the society's debts; the Transactions in future would be pub lished at a less price than had been hitherto charged. It hail been determined to dispose of duplicate irawings, and also certain plants in the garden, which would diminish the charge of labour, but not time collection of the more useful and ornamental plants. '1 he regulations for the admission of visiters to the garden have been altered, so that all Fellows, whether subscribers to the garden or not, will in future have the power of issuing written orders of admission. The house at Turnham-Green was evacuated on the sth of April, and the Council were making every exertion to dispose of it as soon as a tenant can bo found. Portions of the garden not required for the collections of the Society had been planted stink erops to yield a profitable return, and this measure, combined with an alternation in the plan of selling vegetables and fruits, would produce an increase of income. The report also stated, that it was ie tended to make a complete alteration in the bye-laws, and to revise the existing rules of distri buting plants from the garden, with a view to secure a more general distribution of the Fellows of the Society, as far as is practicable without terfering with the regulations respecting plants easily attainable through the hands of nurserymen. It is proposed to let parts of the house in Regent-street, with the use of the Meeting-room, to such Societies or Corporate Bodies as may be willing to treat for the same. It is intended, by a more satisfactory at. rangement of the accounts made at the end of each month, to show, in a clear and distinct manner, the actual state of the affairs of the society; and an ac count of the society's debts and credits 'will be printed at each anniversary. Time report concluded by stating:—" 'Without adverting to the causes of he proceedings and discussions which have of hoe unfortunately agitated the society, the Council trust that a general interest in the common vrelfare will induce the Fellows to sacrifice all personal feelings, and to unite henceforward in one general object,— viz., that of placing the society upon such a solid and permanent basis, as will enable it to maintain the character which it has acquired as an institution of national importance, having paramount claims to encouragement in the United Kingdom, and having already extended the benefits of its labours through every quarter of the globe." Time following lists, recommended by the Council, were laid before the Fellows. The name of Mr. Sabine, it will be observed, has been omitted Three members of the present Council recom mended to be removed—the Earl of Dartmouth, Thomas nobly'', Esq., and Mr. William Malcolm. Three Menibers recommended to be elected into the Council—Alexander Seton, Esq., Thomas Hill, Esq., and Mr. J. A. Henderson. President, Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq.; Trea surer, Alexander Seton, Esq.; Secretary, George BenthAm, Esq. ; Assistant Secretary, John Lind ley, Esq. . . _ . Mr. ICI. STAPYLTON then said he had been in formed the reason assigned by Mr. Malcolm for with drawing his name was, that the salary of Mr. Lind ley, the assistant•secretary, had been raised from 2591. to 3001. a year. Dr. HENDERSON, the Vice-President, stated, that on the contrary, the salary of that. gentleman had been reduced, at the last anniversary, 461.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) ,Mr•. STAPYLTON complained of a trick having been practised upon him. We have authority to contradict the statement of the Pat is Papers, that Prince LEorotn has had a mis underatandir•g with the Allied Powers relative to Greece, and that he quitted Paris in consequence of that misunder standing. His Royal Highness quitted Paris in consequence of the alarming state of the KING'S health ; and up to this moment the British Government are not aware of any serious obstacle to the accomplishment of the object respecting which they have been so long in treaty with their allies and with Prince LEOPOLD. His, Royal Highnete has certainly expressed regret that it should be considered necessary to pass an Act for his denaturalization ; but we believe that even this will be easily got over. We should not omit stating that some of the members of the Prince's own fatni:y have strongly urged him not to proceed to Greece. —Court Journal. Alderman DARLEY and ;Major Stan, ac companied by a peace-officer, entered the Parliamentary Intelligence office yesterday, and informed Mr. DWYEIL, that they came there inconsequence ofa requisition having appeared in the newspaper's, calling a meeting► of the pa rishioners of St. Michan's, to be held in that place, ou that day, in order to petition for a repeal of the Union. Mr. DWYER. stated that a notice had been published in the papers yesterday morning, announcing that the meeting, alluded to could not take place in that office. On being made acquainted with this fact, the Magistrates retired.— Dublin Morning Register of Wednesday. HUDDERSFIELD.—At this place there was a better market than for some weeks. The fancy trade, however, still continues extremely depressed; and (taking into consideration the season of the year, when there is always a brisk trade for the description of cloths exposed in the Huddersfield piece -hall), we do not think that, under ordinary circumstances, the improvement which has taken place would attract particular notice. Halifax Chronicle. LEEDS.—The woollen manufacture is ex tremely brisk; but great numbers of joiners and builders are out of employ.—Halifax Chronicle. STATE OF TRADE.—HALIFAX.---OR Sa turday there was a fair sale for worsted goods in our mar ket, although not quite as good a one as had been antici pated. There was, however, no improvement in price. The lamented illness of the KING, which has had so seri ous an effect upon the silk, ribbon, and printed calico trades, dues not seem to have injured the market so seri ously in woollens and stuffs.—Halifax Chronicle. BRADFORD.—This market, on Thursday, evinced symptoms of considerable improvement. More business was done, and we have extreme satisfaction in stating, at improved prices. We trust this will be the precursor of an additional remuneration to the workmen. —Halifax Chronicle. MURDER.—Wc have this week to record a " murder most foul, as in the best it is, but this most foul, strange, and unnatural,”--of an infant six months old, by its omu father, a tailor in Carno, Montgomeryshire. The child was left in the cradle by its mother, and on her return she found it a corpse, it having been struck on the back of the head by the hand of the father. The only excuse the father makes is that he was bewitched. The Coroner's Jury has brought in their verdict " Wilful Murder" ag..inst the father, and a warrant has been issued for his apprehension.— Cambrian. MURDER.—Last week the body of a man was observed n-ar the edge of a loch at Assynt, in Suther landshire, which being taken out of the water and exa mined, was found to contain such marks and wounds as to render it but too probable that the deceased bad met with a violent death. It has since been discovered that the deceased was a steady, respectable young man, a pedlar, named Muano GRANT, who travelled the northern counties with haberdashery and other goods. He bad been collecting some accounts in the district, in order to repair to Inverness for a fresh supply of wares, and this circumstance, in all probability, directed the hand of the a.sassin. There was no money found on the person of the deceased. Intelligence of the melancholy occurrence hav ing been forwarded to the local authorities by the minister of Assynt, the Sheriff of Sutherland and the Procurator Fiscal, who were in this town attending the Circuit, in stantly set off to investigate " the matter.--Inverness Courier. CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE BODY.- The position of the centre of gravity of the body changes with the posture aid position of the limbs. If the arm be extended front one side, the centre of gravity is brought nearer to that side than it was when the arm hung per pendicularly. When dancers, stinding on one leg, extend the other at right angles to it, they must incline the body in the direction opposite to that in which the kg is tz. tended, in order to bring the centre of gravity ever Ihia foot which supports them.—Dr.' Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia.
