'- machine was an illegal one, and that be should not get out of its way. After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, during which neither entreaties nor remonstrances had any effect on the defendant, he, Mr. Hancoch, put the steam gently on, and by dextrous management, trot clear off, and not the slightest accident would have occur ed, but the de fendant backed his cart against the body of the om nibus, and damaged it considerably. In reply to the questions of Mr. WALKER, Mr. Hancock was certain, from the manner, expressions, and action of the defendant at the time, that he had committed the Eler from a malignant spirit, as there was abundant room for him to avoid it. _ , '....1 474 • . ±..e. et" . ) . ;1) - ..!

He drove to Westminster, and had some more drink, receiving into his cab,by the desire of the defendant, a brace of strapping Life Guardsmen, and he then drove off to a small street in the Old Kent-road, setting down his fare, after having been desired by his mistress to wait until she had transacted some particular business there. He waited upwaids of four hours at the door, at the expiration of which time his late mistress came out, and got into his cab again, and he drove her towards Oxford-street; she got out and invited him into a public-house to have some more drink, and after setting some time with him, she told him she could not pay him then, but he should be sure to have his money if he called at her house. The complainant took her word, having been then upwards of ten hours out with his cab on her account,but finding he could not get his dem Ind complied with, he took out the present summons. The defendant, in reply, said, that the com plainant proffered the use of his cab gratuitously, when she told him she was going to Knightsbridge on business, and he offered to carry her there for nothing. She admitted having given him something to drink, and also that she requested him to accom modate a serjeant of the Life Guards with a ride, as the serjeanr, who was a particular friend of hers, had told her he was engaged by a gentleman to give his three daughters some little insight into the drill exercise. The husband of the defendant, a quiet, harmless looking man, begged to sate that his view of the case was this :—The complainatir had formerly been in his employ, and had only offered to drive his wife in the expectation of being received into his __ ________ __... ............_ _ Mr. Edward_ Davis, a respectable tradesman, heard several persons intreat and beg of the defen dant to pull out of the way, as there was much dan ger in moving the steam-carriage from the position in which the defendant's cart was placed. The de fendant, however, refused to stir, observing that the omnibus had no horses to eat hav or corn. Mr. Brown, a farrier, who was standing by, as well as the drivers of several stage omnibuses, encourage the defendant in his obstinacy, aril called out, " Ga it, Haines, break his cursed pannels." As Mr, Hancock was going past with his steam-carria ge the defendant, in a most violent manner, pulled hi s horse's reins as hard as he could, and backed r hind part of the cart against the pannels,_ and did. ~ considerable mischief. Several persons in the crow " . i . cried our, " shame," and were verrindiOant - at th'... defendant's conduct ; and so satisfied was he (wit e ness) that the act was most wanton and malic o n . - that he at once handed his card to Mr. - Hancock,' acd came up from Gravesend on that morning to give his evidence. Mr. WALKER considered the ease clearly and ,atisfactorily proved ; and, after consulting with Mr. MAlrims, he convicted the defendant in the penalty of is., together with 41., the amount of da mage and expences, or one month's imprisonment. The defendant said he would appeal against the decision, but was told he had not the power, as the penalty did not exceed 51. Mr. POLLOCK remarked that the defendant was placing himself in an aakward situation, as Mr. Uancock might, if he pleased, have brnu v lat an *T rion against him for the damage, and put him to 150/. expences. The MAGISTRATES recommended the defendant to pay the money, which after the gentle hint of the Learned Gentleman, he said he would do. OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, SEPT. 4, 1833. THE PRINCIPAL OFFICERS of his MAJESTY'S ORDNANCE do hereby give Notice, that they will sell by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Tower, on Wednesday the 11th, and Thursday, the 12th of September, at eleven o'clock of the forenoon pre cisely, sundry lots of old stores ; consisting of accoutre ments, iron bedsteads, beddin , 2, clothing, great coats, boots, cloaks, cloth of different kinds, tents, tarp u'ins, sacks, sand bags, Wadmil tilts, hair cloths, sails, hides, leather straps, painted covers, rope of various descriptions, stand ing vices, anvils, bick irons, tools, maundrills, spades, shovels, pickaris, poleaxes, harrow teeth, portable forges, fire engines and hose, picke's, staves, and heads for bar rel., bellows, wheel•, leather buckets, budge barrels, tackle blocks, tent poles, tables, bells, clocks, tubs, weighing machines, scales and weights, mineral paint, mangers, hill hooks, lead pipe, mortars, kettles, iron chests, pumps, brushes, bi.rs, sundry tin, pewter, and copper articles, paper cartridges, an 01,1 boat, fire wood, and a variety of other articles. The whole of which may be viewed at the To ver, Ordnance Depot.

By Order of the Board, R. BYHAM, Secretary. James King, a stage-coach driver, came up to he heard on his petition to be discharged. The insol vent, it appeared, had formerly driven the Chelten ham stage-coach, which he horsed one stage. He had had four horses, which, however, he was obliged to dispose of under the pressure of difficul ties. He had not been made aware of any inten tion to arrest him, on the part of his creditors ; when taken to prison, the whole money he had in the world was no more than 30s. ; his wife Elizabeth had a separate income of 350/. a year, vested in her sole name in the funds. The will of the wife being read in Court, it appeared from it that the insolvent was only to derive the benefit of it during his natural life. The detainer lodged against the insolvent was at the suit of a person named Turner, at Oxford, for 751. However, as there appeared to be no provision made for the insolvent in his wife's will, after her decease, he was discharged. Samuel Levy, late of Gloucester, was heard upon petition for his discharge. He had not been in business since 1827. After a few questions, the insolvent was discharged. the 0:4 POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Tior-I and ennelnding Serie., 3 IV. STUAR I"S NORTH AMERICA. Third Edition. NAVAL FLOGGING. I saw two men who wer, tried tor desertion, and their sentence was to receive 500 lashes round the fleet. There is, perhaps, nothing on the face of the earth an revolting to human nature as this most brutal of all outrages upon the feelings of gallant tars uchler such a sentence. The d the man is to be punished is known by the admiral making a general signal to copy orders. A midshipman from each ship ghes on hoard of the admiral's ship with a book, and copies the order, which states that at a certain hour, on such a day a boat, manned and armed, is to be sent to the ship from which the man is sentenced to he pu nished. On the day appointed the signal is made from the admiral for the fl et to draw into a line. The hands are then turned up in each ship, and every officer appears with his cocked hat and side arms, and the marines are drawn up on the gangway with muskets and fixed b,yonets. The ship launch, to which the delinquent belongs, is hoisted out and rigged up for the bloody tragedy. In this boat are two boatswain's mates with their cats, together with the surgeon and master at arms. The poor creature is now taken out of irons, in which be has been confined both before and after his sen tence, and brought down from the deck into the boat. The master at arms next desires the mates to tie him up; he is then stripped, and a blanket thrown over his shoul ders. The boats of each ship then make their painters fast, one ahead of the other, and thus form a long line of boats. The captain now looks over the gangway ; the master at arms reads the infern sentence, and the quantity of lashes the victim is to receive at each ship. The captain calls the boatswain's mate, and says, "Go on, sir, and do your duty." The blanket is now removed from the shoulder of the poor fellow, and then commences the fiend-like exhibition. Atter the vic tim has received one &ten, the captain tells the other boatswain's mate to commence, and after the poor fellow has received the next (lora', the blanket is again thrown over his shoulders, and the boats tow the launch alongside the next ship, the drummer and fifer playing the Rogue's March. The same ceremony is repeated, and so on from ship to ship, until the surgeon pronounces the roan can receive no more without endangering life ; and woe be to the tyrant who dares to inflict one lash more after the surgeon has spoken. I here must remark that I never knew an instance of a surgeon in the Navy being a tyrant; on the contrary, both he and his assistants ~re always re spected for their tender regard of the sick under their care. After this degrading and cruel punishment, the man is again towed to his ship, awl helped on board ; he is next sent into the sick b ty, his back is anointed in order to heal it, and, in case he has not received all his punishment, to enable him again to be tortured. The boatswain's mates are generally the most active, as well as the most powerful men on board. When a man has been fl ,gged round the fleet he is of no further set vice, his muscles are contracted, and he is no longer an able man. What a dreadful re flection it is when this case is applied to an instance of a man impreseed into the service, the poor fellow having been torn from his wife and children and sent on board a King's ship. My pen cannot do justice to my disgust of the system of impressing seamen. Such a mode of man ning a fleet is as disgraceful 1 0 humanity as it is contrary to sound policy. If there were uniformly good conduct in Naval Commanders, there would be no want of seamen ; it is the dread of tyranny, and not the fear of enemies, that deters men from a desire to follow the glorious avoca tions of a British sailor.—Arnold's Magazine.

The Solicitor for the complainant stated that the prisoners had been followed to town from the place where the oysters of the prosecutor were bedded, and from which they had taken vast quantities. The prosecutor rented a part of the river of which the Hon. Miss Wickham is lady of the manor, and had laid his beds there for the purpose of growing the fish for the London market. Mr. 11 .dman paid fifty pounds a year rent to the lady of the manor for the beds, which after the pay ment of all the expences, produced to him between 3001. and 400/. a year. It was his practice to go to Cornwall to purchase the brood of oysters, and afterwards to lay them on his (..wn beds; and they were of so peculiar a description that he should be able to swear to them anywhere. lie had seen the prisoners deliberately rob his beds, and he traced them and the oysters to 13.11ingsgate-market, where the article, which was of a tupericr kind, was now selling. He therefore applied to his Lordship to commit the prisoners, whom he con• sidered had committed an act of felony. The LORD MAYOR—Has not this case, or some case very like it, been before the Lord Chancellor, and is it no a question of right ? The Solicitor for the prosecution said that the Lord Chancellor had decided that the prisoners had no right to meddle with these fisheries, and had granted an injunction to restrain them, which in junction the prisoners disregarded, and they were clearly guilty in this case of a larceny, which would subject them to very severe penalties. One of the defendants declared that they had violated no law. The case to which the other side had alluded was distinct from the present ; but in the farmer case it was wrong to say the Lord Chancellor had decided against them. His Lord ship had been d-cidedly in favour of them. The LORD MAYOR—Do you admit that you took the oysters ? Detendant—Certainly we do; bur we say we have committed no offence; we were perfectly justified in she course we have pursued, and we leave it to the prosecutor to prove that we are not. The Solicitor to the prosecutor submitted, that the act, though committed without any feature of concealment, was, nevertheless, one which made the accused amenable to acr minal prosecution. A matt might go into the house of another and take his property with as much propriety. The LORD AYoR did not see that the cases were exactly parallel. He felt that the charge was one on which he could not commit. W saw nothing like an act of felony. It appeared that the Lord Chancellor had been already referred to in a case of contested claim resembling the present. He wished to know how the prosecutor could swear to the oysters, as identity in oysters appeared to him to be a matter rather difficult of proof ?—Mr. Redman said it was by no means hard to be proved. The oysters were very peculiar. The LORD MAYOR—Does nobody but you take 'he brood from Cornwall to grow them in Kent ? Mr. Redman—Nobody in K -nt practices it. The Feversham Company and the Queeuborough Com pany used to do it. The LORD MAYOR—Then these must be your property? Mr. Redman —Certainly. Defendant—We never attempted to say that they were not his; and we keep a regular account of the profits of the sale in order to do justice to him. If the matter is decided in his favour, we shall be ready to hand over to him the produce of our labours in his beds; but in justice to ourselves and our poor families we are ready to answer for our act in whatever way your Lordship pleases. We consider ourselves authorised by the Act, and we consider that the Court of Chancery is of the same opinion. The solicitor for the prosecutor said that the pr soners had been restrained from fishing in other parts of the river, of which the same lady was lady of the manor, and which were, like the beds at present in question, rented from her. Mr. liohler (to the prisoners)—Do you act in this case as upon a borough or corporation right or claim ? Defendant—No—merely as upon a com mon right. We told Redman we had a right to fivh there, and he admitted it, and we told him we should account to him for every farthing we re ceived. The LORD MAYOR—Are you good security for the money, supposing the case should go against you ? Defendant—We are certainly poor now, but the money shall be kept sound. Mr. Redman—They are not able to give proper security, and I have 3001. here at stake. The LORD MAYOR—You can move for Pit in junction, or indict the parties if you think fit. Mr. Redman—But where will the 3001. be? I can't get an injunction at moment's notice. The LORD MAYOR—I certainly shall not commit them. You may prefer your bill at the Old Bailey if you please. The prosecutor and his solicitor stated that they would prefer a bill, and departed. We understand that all along the Kent coast, the fishermen and their families are in great distress, in consequence of the ex ension of the manorial rights of the laud proprietors into the depths of the sea. The driver of one of the stage coaches of Mr. Alexander, the proprietor of the Quicksilver coach which runs to Brighton in four hours, was charged with having, by Violent and careless driving, done very serious injury to the female servant of a gen- Leman, named 13ousfield. The defendant could not help the accident, which he regretted much. The LORD MAYOR—Oh, your regret is quite tpology enough If this poor girl should die, it is quite enough for the public that you are .sorry for it I I shall detain the defendant in prison until the girl is declared out of danger most certainly. Mr Buusfield did riot mean to have him punished more than by the infliction of a small fine, to remind oim of the injury he had done. The LORD MAYOR begged that Mr. Akzander would slacken the pace of his horses, which, when ever he saw them, were always on a gallop, and fined the driver 10s. A gentleman name Pearce was brought up, charged with having been drunk on the preceding night. He appeared anxious to be discharged, and evidently uneasy at being in the dock alongside prisoners and paupers. The Lord Mayor observed his impatience to be gone, and therefore detained him a little longer than perhaps otherwise would have been the case. The LORD MAYOR—I understand, Mr. Pearce, you have been drunk, very drunk, Mr. Pearce ? Defendant—No, my Lord, not so drunk ; I hope your Lordship will be so good as to let me go, as it is very disagreeable to me to be here (looking with a curled nose at his neighbours), very dis agreeable upon my word. The LORD MAYOR—Ah, Mr. Pearce, you didn't care, in the midst of you enjoyments in tumbling about the streets, how disagreeable you made your self to other people. Defendant—l hope, my Lord, you will consider my situation. I wish to go out of this as soon as possible. The LORD MAYOR—Pray what are you Mr. Pearce.—(Laughter.) Deft ntlatA—Why not exactly anything, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—You mean, I suppose, that you are a man of substance without toiling for it — a gentleman. D,fendant—l have some property. Officer—Yes, my Lord, he is a man of property, I fourd a watch and some silver in his pockets when I took him to the station.house. Defendant—l hope that is sufficient, my Lord; I really, my Lord, am very uncomfortable (one of the paupers began to scrwch his head, and shuffle himself about in his clothes). Your Lordship will send me out of this place. Ido not intend to stay in this poor country. The LORD MAYOR—Oh ! pray may I ask where you intend to go, to Scotland.—(Great laughter.) Defendant—To America, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—Do you btlong to a tem perance society ? Defendant—lsle, my Lord. The LORD Msvon—l'm sorry for that, for there arc many Temperance Societies there, and if you appeared to be a member of one of ours, you might show them an improvement upon that system. — (Laughter.) Defendant—My Lord, if you let me go, I'll do anything you desire. The LORD MAYOR—Then pay five shillings for being drunk, and mind how you take your glass again, or you'll get in amongst the same kind of com panions. The defendant then went away shaking his clothes. BOW-STREET. A CONFIRMED VAGRANT.—An old man, blind of one eye, with a scald head, who has long been a troublesome pensioner upon the pari.h of St. Mar tin, presented himself before Mr. Minshull at this office, to ask relief. He was attired in the parish dress of Sr. Martin, and assumed a very doleful aspect. The moment he was seen by Mr. Min shull, however, that gentleman burst into a loud laugh, arid asked him how he could have the impu dence to appear before him again ? " Why (said the worthy magistrate) it was only a short time back when I met you upon Putney Bridge, dressed in the costume of a sailor, with a blue 'hint, black handkerchief, and straw hitt, when you assumed all the slang of a seaman,teld me you had lost your eye at Boston, in America, that you had no shot in your locker, and begged a copper for poor Jack. I then let you into the secret of who I was, and of my knowledge of your former tricks, and you sheered off ; awl I now have you here again, in a new shape !" The old fellow seemed perfectly conscious that he was caught in his own trap, and upon being told by Mr. Minshull to go back to Boston for his eye, he beat a retreat in double quick iime. MAR YLEBONNE,. ASSAULT.—Yesterday Mr. William Shepherd, a master tailor, about nine times the size of a jour neyman, with a good-looking phyQiognomy, residing in John-street, Tottenham-court-road, appeared a' this office on a warrant taker► our by Mrs. El z sbeth Simpson, a middle-aged female of dashing exterior, for an as-ault committed under the following cir- cumstances : It appeared from the evidence of the complainan that she occupied apartments on the second floor ii the defendant's house. About three weeks WO, having a nice piece of ham and beef, with a few et ceteras, for supper, she invited the defendant into her apartment to partake of it with her. After sup per, and while sipping some gin and water in a com fortable sort of vay, the conversation turned on his (the defendant's) wife's expected accouchement,when taking offence at some remarks she had made on the subject, he got up and commenced using the most disgraceful and threatening language. Complainant, thinking that he had suddenly turned deranged, also rose, and, opening the door, said " This is your best way, Mr. Shepherd," when he walked out; but had scarcely descended three stairs before he turned round, and called her several bad names, which so exasperated her that, in the heat of the moment, she took up a chamber utensil, which jolt then lay handy, and threw the contents over him, when he came back and struck her several blows, which she considering to be in return for what she had done, took no notice of. On Monday evening last, some words having ensued, he again struck her, upon which she called out " Murder," and " Police." The complainant's servant corroborated her mis tress's statement. The def e ndant denied baying threatened or as saulted the complainant, but begged to acknowledge the receipt of a dirty shower-bath gratis, with which she had sans cerenionie accommodated him, and at the same time that on both the evenings she spoke of she was so intoxicated as to be incapable of know ing what she was about, which statement was con firmed by a respectable witness. The Magistrate dismissed the warrant. 111ARS IN TROUBLE.—Yesterday a very athletic man, named Mars—who, however, follows the trade of Vulcan—was brought before the Magi"- trtoes under the following circumstances :—Mars having, on the preceding night, sacrificed too freely at the shrine of Bacchus, got into high words with his goddess when he returned home; and Mts. Mars, anticipating a warlike attack, departed from his presence, and took refuge in the domicile of a neighbouring god named Holt. Mars, in wrathful mood, pursued her ; and the neighbour refusing to open the door farther than the strong door chain al lowed , Mars raised his foot, and with the strength of a Hercules battered the door into pieces. He then seized Mistress Mars, whose cries of affright brought some of the guardians of the night to her assistance; and they, after a desperate struggle, succeeded in securing the angry god. Mars, who attributed the whole of the unpleasant occurrence to Bacchus, was discharged with an ad monition ; and Cupid then stepped forward, and re conciled Mistress Mars to her partner. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A PLEASANT RIDE.—Mrs. Thomas, the wife 01 a cabriolet proprietor, in Girturby-mews, a brisk and somewhat well-looking dame of about forty years of age, was summoned try George Sach, a cab driver, for having refused to pay him the sum of thirteen shillings and fourpence for the hire of his cab. The complainant said that the defendant, in whose ,ervrce h e h a d former ly b een , c a lled to him in Re gent-street, and u,ked him to drive her to Knights bridge. He took her there and stopped at the service again. Mr. DYER differed in opinion with the husband, and directed the full amount of the fare, with the costs, to be paid by the defendant. Mary Ann Lear, a young woman of respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with going to St. George's I lospilal, and annoying one of the medical attendants. The complainant, a fashionably-dressed young man, whose name did not transpire, was acting a, the house surgeon to the hospital, when the female, whom he had known for some time, came into the hospital, and began creating a disturbance; he went up and begged of her to be quiet, and to go home; instead of acceding to his wishes, she continued her noise, disturbed every person in the hospital, and assaulted him. lie at length was obliged to give her into custody. He perhaps ought to state that the female had affirmed that he was the father of a child which she said was born a few backs, but he had great doubts whether she ever had a child. The female, in reply, had lived with the com plainant for three years, and having an infant to support, she on Tuesday wrote a note, requesting him to call and see her, as she was in want of money ; this he refused to do, and she tken went to the hospital, and upon seeing him said, " William, are you not ashamed of yourself ?" She had hardly spoken the words before he pushed her violently, and she then did make a noise. Complainant—l have given her money as far as my means will allow, but as I have before stated, I have peat doubts of her having a child, for she had only been confined for three weeks as she states,and yet upon last Friday week I find she was out all night. Prisoner—The reason I was out arose from my being indebted 255. for rent, and being unable to pay it, I was turned out. Complainant—All I want is for her to keel: away; and if she has had a child, I am ready to di, that which the law requires; but I know this state ment of her's is made for the purpose of enabling her to annoy me; for not being satisfied with my own opinion, she has been seen by a very eminent gentleman, and he says that her appearance is more like a female who is encimte, than a female who has been so recently confined. Mr. DYER pointed out the folly of acting as she had done, and, at the wish of the complainant, she was discharged. It was stated that the complainant had been absent for seven months in the West Indies, and upon his return, the female informed him that he had had the honour of becoming a father. UNION HALL. POPAY, THE SPY.—Williant Steward Popay the late spy employed by tiovernment, now living at No. 8, Park-place, Lock's-field:2, Walworth, ap peared before the Magistrates, Messrs. MURRAY and HILLYARD, on a peace warrant, charged by Mr. W. Dean (late inspector of the police force, who was discharged from that body on account of having spoken his mind upon the late Calthorpe-street affair), with assaulting him under the following cit.- eumstances :—Mr. Dean stated that about ter. o'clock on Monday evening he left the Cottage of Content, and was going up King-street on his wa) home, when he met Popay, who came up to him and called complainant as assassin, a monster, and used other expressions to excite witnesq, who, seeing two other policemen by, thought it a plan to get him into trouble, and therefore thought he would put up with the insult. Popay also put his first in complainant'. face.—Magistrate : This is an assault warrant, and you have taken out a peace warrant. What have you to say ? (to Popay)—Popay : He had no ob jection to enter into recognizances to keep the peace. He had nothing to say to the charge. Hi, character, he could say, was respected by eve•y officer in the police force. The statement of the complainant was false ; and if comparison were to be made between his character and that of hi, opponent, he (Popsy) was in no doubt that his would stand scrutiny. The complainant and a man of the name of Price were at the Elephant and Castle on the 21st, who insulted him grossly there. The lower pardon of the mob had called him a monster, and said that he had blood-money in hi , pocket.—Magistrate : Are you really in danget from this man ?—Complainant: I am, Sir; and I have been told to be particularly cautious how 1 acted. Popay having found bail on his own recog nizance, was then allowed to depart. LAMBETH-STREET. PREJUDICES AGAINST STEAM-CARRIAGES. — Yes . terday Mr. Joint Haines, a corn and hay-dealer, ii the Whitechapel-road, appeared before the sitting Magisttates at this office, Mr. 'WALKER and the Rev. Mr. MATTHIAS, on a summons, charging him with having wiltully and maliciously driven his cart against a steam omnibus, belonging to Mr. Waite) Hancock, of Stratford, and calling on him to show cause why he should not be adjudged to pay the amount of damage he had occasioned. Mr. Pollock, a solicitor, called Mr. Walter Han cock, the patentee of the Paddington steam omni bus, who on Friday afternoon, the 23d of last month, took an experimental journey with the " Autopry," r new steam omnibus, from his factory at Stratford to town. On arriving at Whitechapel High-street, he turned round and stopped the machine, opposite the Red Lion Inn, where some of the gentlemen who were inside got out to have some refreshment. While in this situation, the defendant, who was in nis cart at the time, drove up and stopped in front of the omnibus. He, Mr. Hancock, being about to start for Stratford, requested, and even entreated the defendant to pull out of the way, as, from the situation in which he was placed, and several thou sand persons being attracted to the spot by the ap pearance of the vehicle, he feared he conld not, whit safety to himself, his friends in the omnibus, or the. defendant himself, otherwise get off. The defendant, in reply to his entreaties, said, that the Mr TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. We give the following facetious article from the Nett York Commercial Advertiser of the Sth ult. NIAKCH OF MIND IN VIRGINIA.—An Anti•Tempe r,ince Society has actually been formed in the c o unty of Elizabeth City, and State of Virginia. We are not jok ing ; the fict is so. The resolutions p o.srd at the meet ing at which the Society was formed may be numheteil itnong the curiosities of the day. We quote the follow- ing:— " Resolved, That we look upon intemperance as a destructive vice to individuals, but Temperance Societies as destructive to communities—the Scylla and Charybdis bath equally to be avoided." If communities in Virginia are farmed of individuals, is in most places is the fact, we should Ilk:. to know what will become of the one when the others have been de stroyed ? By what process of reasoning can it he proved chat ca'd water will have the same destructive effect upon individuals collectively that whisky has upon individuals individually? The fact, if so, will form a curious addi tion to the science of physiology. " Resolved, That the world is already governed too much, particularly by fanaticism, and that, if left alone, ' example' will correct its vices, and not . If we understand tois resolution, taken in connection with the object of the Society, which is to oppose tem perance, the example of a drunkard will go farther to correct vice than the counsels of a sober and ternperans man. Thus the shortest way for parents to inculcate iessons of temperance upon their children would he to g. t drunk now and then, and roll in the gutter. " Resolved, That we believe that temperance consists in the proper use of, and not the total abstinence from, the gifts of the Deity." The beneficent Author of all rood has never mingled ardent spirits with his blessings. The Bible gives no re ;ye for the process of distillation. The gen le dews are distilled from Heaven, it is true, and flowers are said to istil their odours, but whisky never ran from a celestial alembic. " Resolved, That we cherish liberty, rel'gion, and practical piety; but abhor licentiousness, fanaticism, and the excess of preaching and prayer." This resolution forms a strange jumble of divers m it- rers and things. We should like to learn from the Chair man and Secretary of the meeting, however, what they consider " an excess of prayer ?" The Holy Spirit, by •he mouth of St. Paul, has commanded th "to pray atithout ceasing." We cannot conclude this article without chronicling the names of the officers presiding over this meeting, and the Committee who drat:et' the resolutions; they are as fol. lows :..—Samuel 13. Servant, Chairman; James Gamine!, S-cretary ; John Cary, C. M. Collies, Thomas G. Whit ing, Thomas Skinner, John C. Whiting, Thomas Lowry, John Saunders, Cary Wood, Wm. Dye, Baley T. Eli tt, J. K. Wray, and P. H. Lively, Committee. Th.al Atrtots should stand high upon the drunkards' calendar, ind the rubicund nose of every toper klhoulti wax blue with felight whenever they are named ; for they are, no doubt ma worthy a Company of " individuals" as ever ‘• reeled, tad staggered, and fell," as Counsellor Phillips would say. We lately stated that the sawyers here, had made a strike for an advance of prices. We understand that they and their masters have come to an agreement, and that they are now nearly, if not altogether, employed at an advanced rate. Formerly, they were paid Is. MI. oer 100 feet—now they generally receive 2s. sa. for the .ame quantity, or 2s. 3d. with an additional draught, the first draught in a log being reckoned two. The great .carcity of wood previous to the late arrivals tended to accelerate this arrangement.—Edinburgh Advertiser. A few days ago a student of the military ~ cllool at Saint Cyr, overtaking a waggon on the road, ..ntered into conversation with the driver, and, after - alking of his having had dis=entions with his family, ,sked him whether, if he was to throw himself under the wheel, it would kill him? The waggoner replied there .•ould he no doubt of that, since it...was very heavily loa.-1.41. A few minutes afterwards, while the man had stepped aide, the youth seized the opportunity and threw him self before the wheel, which went over his head and ciushed it to atoms. The great western Railway between Bristol ind London, as proposed in the plan, is to have a double ine as fir as Maidenhead, passing direct in one, and by Kingston, Staines, and Windsor on the other ; thence to Reading, Wantage, with a divergence to Oxford at the 55th milestone; to Swindon, Wootton Bassett, Chippen am, Bath, and Bristol, south of the Kennet and Avon Canal. There is to be another branch road trim the 82d wile-stone, by Cirencester, and near Stroul, to Gloucester. LANGHOLM, AUG. 26.—The Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh and Qieensberry, and their tt.vo nfant sons, with Lady Ann Scott a.,d Lord and L tdy Horsham, left the lodge yesterday, after a residence of %early three weeks ; her Grace, &r., went direct ftr Drumlarig Castle, where the Duke, who is gone on a shrift visit to Bowhill and Dalkeith Palaco, intends to rejoin hem. Lord Douglass and Lord Ramsay were also of the family party during the most part of their Graces' stay icre. The Duke had some good sport on the Moors ; nd last Friday enjoyed an otter hunt on the banks cit the Esk ; but his Grace's time was chiefly occupied in the trrangement of local business with his Chamberlain, Alexander Harley Maxwell, Esq., and particulatly in rlanning and superintending the execution of sevt-ral iins provements on the adjacent woods and scenery ; in which :e was actively assisted by his amiable, judicious, and accomplished Duchess. His Grace and the other Noble. nen spent two days last week in Lifid!esdale, on a shoot mg excursion ; and on Saturday forenoon he accompanied %Ir.
