Mr. Bowling then informed him that it was his inten tion to take him to Union-hall that evening, to which the deceased made no answer. A little after five o'clock the same afternoon t;itness was called into the shop by Mrs. Williams, and found the deceased on the floor apparently in a fit.

Mr. CoNANT asked her if she knew any one who could prove the prisoner's name, as signed to the entry of the marriage in the registry-book, to be his hand-writing. She replied that she did not, unless his master to whom he served his apprenticeship could, and that was a Mr. Winterburn, at Hackney. She did not, however, she said, wish to proceed any further in this prosecution against the prisoner, her only object being to clear the young woman whom he had de ceived into a second marriage. The second wife here stepped forward and said, that she too had no desire to prosecute the matter, if she could only clear herself. " What do you mean by clear yourself," said the Magistrate, " I suppose you mean to get clear of the prisoner ?"—Yes, she said, that was what she wanted, and that she might be at liberty to marry again. mind that she had not deviated from that right rule of conduct which should influence a virtuous woman, towards her husband. She was compellet.Uto dis pose of her husband's goods, and knowing Drew, AS an attendant in the King's Bench, she had em ployed him on that account, knowing that men were the best judges of such matters in dealing with brokers.

The Magistrates observed, that they had nothing whatever to do with that circumstance : the pre sent inquiry was not to ascertain whether Mrs. Elie and Drew had been intriguing together, that, of course, they had nothing to do with ; but to inves tigate whether that man had been guilty of a felony. They had heard all that was adduced on the occa sion, and there was no proof that such was the fact, for she had admitted that Drew had acted under her conrroul, and therefore he was entitled to his dis charge out of custody. 4.

Such an object, it is plain, can never be accomplished by a mere elementary course, which has solely in view the instruction of beginners : it implies many discussions and distinctions, many theorems, scholia, and even whole sections of matter, which it is better that a beginner should pass by, while he confines his attention to the few and simple but important propositions to which perpetual reference is made, and which may be regarded as constituting the high road of geoMetry. At the same time, the purposes of instruction have not been lost sight of; and, accordingly, while the present work may be con sidered sufficiently extensive to answer every useful pur pose, it will be found also to include an elementary course of study complete in itself, by the help of which a person totally unacquainted with the subject may become his own instructor, and advance by easy steps to a competent know ledge of it. 161. 6 d• latniCal ),461 narket, in the ,oth be 745. pl } 70s. f 1 411. c 40s. 235. 38s. iBs. • . per rt. n load. per but t 0 0 1 a ! 0 1 0 and. . to d i 6 i 6 ) ) 0 ) a u nal- Os. 625. —B. —s. 265. —s. 245.

'(From the Dublin Morning Register.) Amongst the beauties of the New Stamp Act may be reckoned the following:— Under the head of" medicines," it subjects one thousand articles to a duty which are at present un taxed in Ireland. It it:creases the duties on ap prentices' indentures, and subjects the duplicates of the indentures to a totally new duty. in a case where a certain deFcription of bond should pay now a duty of 101., it subjects such an instrument to eleven times that amount of impost. It imposes upon certain descriptions of leases entirely new duties, which are calculated to press with great severity on the poor, especially the small holders of Bishops' land. Mortgage deeds, which now pay a stamp tax of 201. it subjects to a tax of six times that amount. It imposes OR transfer of shares in the stock or funds of public companies an entirely new duty, and a duty in some instances higher than any existing in England. In this respect it pro poses, without giving us back our Parliament, or rt.- turning a shilling of the four or five millions of absentee remittances, to do away with the Act of Union. On " warrants" attached to bonds it pro poses to lay an entirely new tax. On policies of insurance it imposes nearly three times the former amount of duty in some instances, and altogether novel duties in others. On certain descriptions of promissory notes, it proposes to lay as many shillings as there are pennies payable under the existing law. On the Bank of Ireland it will lay an enormous increase of burthen, which, of course, will ultimately fall upon the mercantile and trading classes, whose bills are discounted by that Company. Receipts of charitable bequests de- posited in bankers' hands, it will subject to an en tirely new duty. On probates of wills and letters of administration, it proposes to lay duties twice, thrice, and in some cases four times the amount of the present duties. A charity advertisement, now free from duty, it proposes to subject to a new duty of 3s. 6d. All charitable bequests are at present unexcised in Ireland—this new law IA ill, in certain instances, subject them to a tax of 101. per cent., or in other words, confiscate the tenth part of them for the use of the state, which in Ireland now means Great Britain. It proposes to lay a new duty on newspapers,' which will more effectually crush the press, than the most rigorous censorship that ever existed under what the loyalists used to instruct us to call the " odious domination of the Corsican usurper." It will subject persons, plodding their weary way to the learned professions, to increased or entirely novel exactions. But, then, with a ten derness for the comforts and well being of the people, which demands our utmost gratitude, it lessens the tax on a parson's license of non-residence, from 31. to 21., and the tax upon a dispensation to hold a plurality from 251. generally, to 101. in certain cases, rind 51., or a one-fifth in others !!! It is expected that when the new law arrange ments take place, Mr. Justice BAILEY will be appointed Lord Chief Baron of the Court of the Exchequer. The Learned Judge, having had a long course of active exertion, is now entitled to a little ease. STATE OF THE CROPS, &C.— (Extract of a letter from the neigbourhood of Salisbury, dated the 6th inst.)—" The promises of the season are very gratifying. The wheat, which at first looked very thin, especially on the strong lands, is wonderfully improved by a rapid growth, and extensively branching out : it is now quite strong and luxuriant. The oats have come up thick and well, but seem at length to require rain. The barley land has been well cleansed from couch, &c., and the blade springs up nicely. Bloom on the apple-trees is great, but on many trees weak, and hurt by the late frosts ; the apricots and peaches are the most unfavourable of any; but the grapes are coming out in great abundance. Our peas and beans are in bloom, and our potatoes some inches out of the ground. The grass plentiful, and very forward ; the beans strong and forward also. Plums and cherries, if they stand, will afford plenty of work for the faculty. Currants and gooseberries are early and plentiful." Alderman WOOD.—It is no such thing; he has no right to ply at all. Mr. Hobler,"jun., said that Mr. Shillibeer wished to avoid as much as possible the imputation of a nuisance, and therefore drove round to collect pas sengers without getting amongst the sharp corners. Alderman VENABLEs said the omnibuses were certainly a very great source of accommodation, but if they were mot under regulations the nuisance would be quite intolerable. They had no right to stop at all ekcept they were hired—bonafide hired. Mr. Shillibeer—l have no objection to the Com mittee of Aldermen as Directors, but I have to the Paddington coachmen, and they have assumed the power. I have been marked, and it is known to the public that I am_ Alderman WOOD said, that if he (Mr. Shillibeer) was marked by the Committee, it was from circum stances in his favour. As to the marking of the Paddington coachmen, that could not affect him much. All should be treated alike, and the officers would act with the utmost impartiality. He might take this case to the sessions if he pleased, but of this he might be assured, that the citizens of London must be protected against the existing nuisance, if it were necessary to call out the whole force of the police. Mr. flobler, jun.--My client merely waited for a vacancy; he will appeal against the conviction. The LORD MAYOR then fined the defendant 40s. Another omnibus proprietor was also fined 40s. for conduct similar to that proved in the first case. The LORD MAYOR hoped. those examples would have a good effect. 11. should, he declared, if the practice was continued, increase the penalty. upon the proof of each offence. BOW-STREET. Last night Charles Smith and Sarah Tomlinson were charged, before Mr. MINSHULL, the former with having stolen a quantity of plate and wearing apparel from his master, - Dimmock, Esq., of Lincoln's-inn-fields, and the latter with having pawned the property, knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Wm. Saunders, in custody on a charge of bigamy, was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT, the sit ting magistrate, for re-examination. Elizabeth Chamberlain, a pretty-looking young girl, the second wife, being a competent witness, was examined, and proved her marriage with the prisoner, at the parish church of St. John Zachary, in June, 1827, and produced the certificate to that effect. The first wife, whose maiden name was Mary Goodman Richardson, was also in attendance, but being disqualified from giving evidence in the case, she was not examined, but she produced a certifi cate of her marriage with the prisoner, in February, 1813, at the parish church of St. Luke, Middlesex. It being necessary to prove the correctness of this certificate, John Facey, the parish clerk of St. Luke's, attended, and produced the registry book of marriages for that parish, and read from it an entry, made on the Bth of February, 1813, of the mar riage of William Saunders, bachelor, and Mary Goodman Richardson, spinster, signed by the Rev. Mr. Berger, the then rector, and witnessed by a per son named Smith, and it appeared also by the entry that Facey, the clerk, was the person who gave the bride away. Mr. CONANT asked the witness if he could swear that the woman now present was the same that he gave away in marriage on that occasion, and that the prisoner was the man to whom he gave her ? How is it pssible for me," said the witness, to swear to any such thing after the lapse of such a number of years, and the hundreds of couples that have been married at that church since I have been clerk ?" "But, I suppose," said the Magistrate, " that you were not employed to give away in marriage all the females in these hundreds of instances, and you might therefore recollect one that you did give away."—" Certainly," said the witness, " I_ did not give them all away ; but I have no doubt .1 did a great many of them." " How does it happen," said the Magistrate, " that you are employed to give away females thus in marriage unless you know something of them ?" —The witness said that there was nothing more common than when there was no immediate near relative of the female present, to employ the parish clerk to perform that ceremony. " Then," the Magistrate, " you have no recollec tion of either of these parties now present, nor can you identify them as the couple that were married on the occasion you allude to ?"—The witness thought he had some slight recollection of the man at the bar, but he could not venture to swear to him; but as for the woman, he had no trace what ever of her perFon on his memory. " I am sure;' said the first wife, " that it is im possible you could recollect me, for at that time I was a plump, fat, and jolly young woman, and now I am a broken-hearted, care-worn, miserable-looking creature." Here the poor woman burst into tears. Mr. CONANT asked if she had any friend who was present at the marriage, and could identify t h e pri soner as the person who underwent the ceremony with her? She replied that she had not any per son, for it so happened that every one of about a dozen who were present at the marriage was now dead, except the clerk, the prisoner, and herself. " Yes," said the clerk, " even the clergyman who married you is dead, and I know Smith the witness is dead too." Mr. CON ANT asked if there was no person alive who saw them together o.► that day after they were married, at the wedding-dinner, or any other place? The wife replied that there was no wedding dinner; for, in fact, immediately on their coming out of the church after the ceremony, she went one way home to her friends, and the prisoner went another way home to his. " Why was that," said the Magistrate, " did you nut live with him after the marrriage ?—No, she said, not for some time after; for the truth was, that neither her relations, nor the relations of the prisoner, knew of the marriage, and he being an apprentice at thQ time, and _ under age, and she Mr. CONANT.—And will you take back your first wife to live with you ?—Prisoner—No, your wor ship, I would rather be as I am than do that, because I understand she has, for several years past, been living with another man. The Magistrate said, that he supposed, under these circumstances, the case must proceed, but there must be other evidence procured. The prisoner was then remanded until Tuesday next, and a summons directed to be served on Mr. Winterburn, of Hackney, to attend and prove, if he can, the prisoner's hand-writing. The parish clerk, on being ordered to attend again on Tuesday said, that almost the whole of his time was taken up of late in attending to give evidence at the Sessions, and the different police effices, in cases of this nature. " I hope riot," said the Magistrate ; " I trust the crime of bigamy is not quite so common as all that." " No crime," said the clerk, "can almost be more common, and it is increasing every day. People think nothing of taking two or three wives or husbands." " I am sorry to hear that," said the Magistrate. UNION-HALL. Yesterday George Drew, the man charged on suspicion of stealing plate and various other articles, the property of Mr. Francis Elie, was brought . up for final examination. When the case was called on, agentleman stepped forward, and, addressing the Magistrate, said that Mrs. Elie was not then in attendance, but that, in a conversation with her that morning, she expressed a desire to keep away from the office, adding at the same time that she was so fully confident of the in tentions of the accused to plunder herself and husband, that she had on that account made up her mind not to appear in his behalf. It was here intimated to the Magistrate that Mrs. Elie was seen in the office a few minutes previously, and that some persons had either turned her out or prevailed upon her to depart. Mr. Elie here stated, that he had requested his wife to go to the West-end of the town on business of importance, which concerned them both, and he was fully confident that she was at least four miles off from the office at that moment. The accused said that he was convinced Mrs. Elie kept out of the way ors purpose. She was a most material witness for him. Newcome, the officer, saw Mrs. Elie at the office door a few minutes previously. Mr. SWABEY—Then proceed immediately, and insist upon her coming forward, es the man's liberty depends upon the evidence she has to give relative to the business. The officer returned immediately, accompanied by Mrs. Elie, who seemed to labour under a great deal of agitation. Mr. SWABEY here called upon M. Elie to explain the reason he had a minute or two ago asserted that his wife was at least four miles from the place, when, in point of fact, she was all the time standing at the door of the office. Mr. Ehe had instructed his wife to call on their solicitor a short time before this case was called, and he really considered that she was gone there, instead of remaining about the office, as it now appeared she had done. The Magistrate thought it rather singular that Mrs. Elie should have been sent away by her hus band, when he must have been aware that her pre sence was so necessary there. Mr. ELYARD, before whom the first examination took place, here inquired whether there was any evi dence now to prove the charge of felony against the prisoner. With respect to th e pl a t e f oun d i n t h e possession of the accused, Mrs. Elie had already ad mitted that she bad employed the prisoner to carry it ; therefore there was an end to that part of the charge. " It was stated," added the Magistrate, " when the prisoner was before me on Tuesday, that evidence would be produced of his having been seen carrying some of the complainant's property without being accompanied by Mrs. Elie, or even with her sanction." Inspector Manning said, that the witness who could have proved this latter tact refused to come forward, unless compelled. Another inspector told the Magistrates, that Mrs. Elie had mentioned to him that morning, that if she was permitted to appear at that office, she should be enabled to exonerate the prisoner from the pre sent charge. _ _ — Mrs. Elie was asked whether this assertion was true, and she admitted that it certainly was. The Magistrates remarked on the contradiction between Mrs. Elie's admission and the assertion of the individual who had in the first instance stated that which was diametrically opposite—namely, that she was anxious to keep out o f the way, as she was confident the prisoner's intentions were to plunder them, and that on that account she could not urge any thing in his behalf. The Magistrates here asked Drew if he wished to put any questions to Mrs. Elie to prove that he had sold the furniture agreeably to her desire, and with her consent. Drew replied in the affirmative, and he then commenced to question her as to whe ther he had not acted throughout with her full con sent in disposing of the property. She, in reply, said that he had, and that she had no reason what ever to find fault with the manner in which he had conducted himself throughout. She then declared, t h a t whatever unfavourable impressions had gone forth with regard to the manner in which she acted by employing Drew, she was conscious in her own THE BANK AND LONDON BRIDGE.

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, an inquest was held sit the house of Messrs. Bowling, Walker, and Co., wholesale druggists, in Kent-street,Soulh work, before Mr. PAYNE, Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, on view of the body of George Corrie, who - poisoned himself on Wednesday last, by taking prussic acid. i i i i r e g„ ha s d ur t g ai e i o e r r i i , :f.lisHsii:lisittrie,eat.--nd Mr. George imagine On Wednesday, about half-past ti:ll4:jaaallss sent for to the deceased, whom I found in a chair Fsr u o p m po t r h te e d st b u y i d two persons; of in the ig,s:uaai:eflee(%diveaymtdaoo."irin:ne7as a shopma u which still contained a small • • • ' quantity of prussic Mr. James Bowling, the principal of the firm, stated, that on arriving in this country from Ire land, about eight weeks ago, he examined the day book, kept by the deceased, and found great irregu larities in the entries. Witness went into the country, and on his return his suspicions of the integrity of the deceased having increased, he em ployed persona to go to the shop and purchase sundry articles, anal on the same night after the de ceased had gone to bed, he examined his d4v-book, and found that not one of those articles had been entered. The witness then told the deceased that he had been robbed to a very great extent, and that he intended, in justice to himself, to tae him before the Magistrates of Union-hall. George Green, an apprentice to the firm, stated hat he heard the deceased confess that he had sold :he articles now produced. John Jackson, an apprentice to the firm, on Wednesday afternoon had a conversation in the shop with the deceased, about the charge made against him. The deceased entered into a long explanation of his motives for making the etv ries in the book in the manner complained of by Mr. Bowling. He almost cried when he said this. Wit, ness told him if he felt that his conscience vas clear, he need not fear going to Union-hail, or any where else. His actions appeared disordered, and when customers came in he appeared h.srrily to observe them. The deceased was naturally very timid and nervous. He was 28 years of age. The Coroner charged the Jury, and after a Otart consultation, they returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed himself by taking pru , sie a v id while in a state of temporary derangement." RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN CHINESE MUSIC.AND SCOTCri. The Chinese have made little improvement in music, since the time when Father Semedo and Dr. Careri wrote. Their gamut is certainly the diatonic scale of the Greeks; it consists of five whole resemble : o s:e t o e imn s and, bstelhen it e s-het ( ooc c sto o l een n sd t o r ; a fa r ar y stni dec t o loett laoenf r i r.d Scotland. sti melodiesrnilele n y e ' s iAov o iber p bre i yse smnßtitu:ruen/hs:s. Musique des Anciens, mentions an old Chinese scale, of six notes, which Rameau has preserved. The Abbe and Rameau differ as to the nature of this scale, which, according .to the latter, produces, by applying the numbers to ascending fifths, the Scottish scale, adding only a note to complete the octave, thus,—C, D, E, G, A, a. " The only specimen of Chinese music which Rousseau has given in his Diction ary, from Du Halde, seems to confirm," in Dr. Burney's opinion, " Rameau's scale ; for except in one passage, at the beginning of the third bar, when F. natural comes in so awkwardly, as to raise a suspicion that it has been inserted by a mistake of the engraver, the fourth and sevent4 of the key are scrupulously mixed throughout ; and nothing can be more Scottish than the whole cast of the air." Dr. Burney says, that " all the specimens of Chinese melody which he had been able to collect were of this sort ;" and Dr. Lied, who had resided for some time in China, assured Dr. Burney "all the melodies he had heard there bore a strong resemblance to the old. Scots tunes." The Doctor farther observes, that the octave produced by omitting the third note downwards in two tetrachords, as the second was omitted in the enharmonic of Olympus; gives exactly the Chinese scale of the Abbe Ronssier, concluding as follows : " The Chinese scale, take it which way we will, is certainly very Scot-. tish. It is not my intention to insinuate by this, that the one nation had its music from the other, or that either was obliged to ancient Greece for its melody, though there is a strong resemblance in all thre e . Th e similarity, however, proves them all to be more natural than they at first seem to be, as well as more ancient. The Chinese are extremely tenacious of old customs, and equally enemies to innovation with the ancient Egyptians, which favours the idea of the high antiquity of this simple music ; and, as there is reason to believe it very like the most ancient of the Greek melodies, it is not difficult to suppose it to be a species of music that is natural to a people of simple manners, during the infancy cf civilization and the arts among them."—Co4- stablis Miscellany, Vol. LII.
