I wonder why these- folks never praised Sir Robert whilst he fought against. Napoleon ; and only found him out to be a great and good man when he liberated Lavalette I wonder if the Chronicle has forgot all it said about Sir Robert, when he published his quarto on the Egyptian campaign! I wond /7 if Sir Robert has forgot that he stands pledged to give some reason for his own change of opinion, or else to buy up all the copies of his book, lest itshould be compared with his speeches and addresses at the Borough Election. I wonder whether those who brought him in for the Borough, expected that they should so soon be brought in to subscribe! I wonder that the Chairman and his followers should express such doubts as to the success of their cause in Parliament, if that cause is so good as they describe it ! I wonder that they would do such a foo!ish thing as to give their money to one, whom they say, " Providence, in its wisdom, did not make rich !" I. wonder when they say, that the military lost all control, that they forgot to add that the mob had lost all ,control also ! I wonder when they say that the Magistrate re fused to carry the Queen over the dead bodies of his countrymen—that they should forget how pointedly such an admission proves the riot and resistance to authority ! I wonder when they describe that riotous as sembly as having only met to witness the funeral of the Queen—that they should forget the pre ceding admission. Finally, I wonder how the partnership concern of WILSON, HONEY, FRANCIS, and Co. perhaps, is to be settled and divided. Your's, B. A. N. D. Katterfelto. P. S. Oh ! apropos ! Mr. Editor, I wonder how it happens that so many brewers and brewer's druggists become patriots! wonder also what the honest brewers say to the two recent trials about nuxvonziea and Guinea Pepper ; on both which occasions it was sworn plainly and clearly, that these articles are dealt largely in by the Brewers' Druggists and by the London Brewers ! I wonder why we may not attribute the great increase of lunacy and of sudden deaths, to the effects of these stupifying and debilitating sub stances in our common potations ! K. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.-Lately, as Mr. LAWRY, a Farmer of the Barton of Place, in the pariOt of St. Anthony, near St. Mawes, was digging for manure ou the beach near low-water mark, he found a- human skeleton, which lay under some sand and rubbish, with the fade down wards,'and the arm turned under the body; a large stone was placed on the shoulders. From the situation in which it was found, it is supposed to be the remains of a person who was murdered. From the appearance of the remains, they are supposed to have been those of a tall man. On the above circumstance being known, a woman resident at St. Maws stated, that about 20 years since, when she was in the service of Admiral SPRY, she had at one time occasion to, pass' , the above spot about midnight, when she saw four sailors digging : on seeing her they all ran off. Being much alarmed at their appearance, she hastened back to the house; but the occurrence was passed over. The flowing of the tide soon obliterated all vestiges of the spot that had been disturbed. The woman has often mentioned the circumstance, and expressed a wish that She could learn why the sailors were digging at' that time and place. The remains have 'been carefully collected and placed in a coffin, which has been deposited in the church-yard of St. Anthony, and the large stone found on the shoulders placed at the head.- ( West ih'iion.) DREAM S. Much, has been written to the subject of dreaming, and el.en have, been pub liShed to account for all tile e6::catmations v;hich pass before the mind when • th senses are locked up in sleep. The general .conclusion among me taphysicians, whether materialists or spiritualists, is that these phenomena Rroceed from the animal spirits, and are the images of the former impres sions Ripon the sensorium. All this is very inge nious, and may pass well enough with philoso phers; but, after all, men of plain sense will .find a difficulty in solving by the doctrine of mental combination many . Strange colngdences . which • they have expe.rienced betwethir their sleeping thoughts and .waking: moments., 741/:.hu.t, for in.; stance, are we to think of the curious dream an d the fulfihnent of it,that happened to the learned resk, as related by himself to Gassendus, who gives it in the life of his friend, with some, re .marks, as follows : " In his return, anti° 1610, in the beginning of : May, from Montpelier to Nismes, he had in his company: one James Rainier, a citizen •of who, was wont to lodge in the same chamber with him, and now did so in an inn on the road. As Peiresk slept, Rainir observed he muttered somewhat to himself in an unusual manner, whereupon Itainier,awoke. him, and asked, him what was the matter. " Oh," said he, ," from what a pleasant' and' grateful dream have you , roused me! " Rainier asked him what it was I. was dreaming," said he, " that I was at Nismes, and that a .goldsmith offered. ine a gol den medal of Julius Czesar for 4 crowns ; and I was paying him the money for it, when upon your unseasonably waking ,me, both goldsmith and medal vanished." After this they went .on to Nismes, and being there, Peiresk took a turn in the city till - dinner was ready, and . by a wonder ful chance he happened to observe a goldsmith's shop, and entered it, asking the goldsmith whether he had `any rarity to shew him ; :he told him he had a Julius Ca!sar of gold. Peiresk asked the price, and was answered 4 crowns, which he pre sently paid him, and taking the medal, by an admirable hit of fortune, fulfilled his dream. It may be said, admirable, for he might easily have thought of Nismes, where he was to b e th e next morning ; he might have thought of that coin of Julius Caesar, which he had often wished for ; he might have thought of finding it in that city, where there were so many remains of Roman antiquities; he might have thought of a gold smith's, to which sort of persons such things when found are commonly carried; he might have thought of ,a 'small price at which goldsmiths rather value these things, than antiquaries : he might have thought of four crowns, with which moderate price a goldsmith might be Content. In short a goldsmith, and that at Nismes, aught have a medal at that price, blit it is altogether wonderful that all these things should have con curred, and the event answer the dream. Never theless (says Gassendus) Peiresk was not the' man; who;for all this, thought the cause of the dream preternatural, as haply lie might have done if the like dream had often happened : but as he knew the sports of chance, he only ac counted this among those . which t)) , their rareness are wont to create a stupor in the vulgar." It•mnst be confessed that the French philoso phers had . a short way of determining this knotty ,question. though few reflecting minds, we appre hend, will be disposed to abide by such an arbi trary decision, where the concurrence of circum stances in the dream and event corresponded so exactly in every article, as to confound all that can be alleged in favour of blind chance. Du ELM NG.—The Manner of duelling in Japan is singular, but quite as rational as an appeal to the sword or pistol. When two men of honour quarrel in that country, •the party who conceives himself to be injured rips up his own entrails with a large knife,-and presenting the instrument to his adversary, invites' him to follow his exam.: ple. No Japanese gentleman can decline such an invitation ; for if he does not instantly plunge the instrument into his own boWels,- he is dis honoured for life.----,(imericaa Paper.) BREAKING OUT OF PH ISON.— Robert Hale, who broke out of Brixton Gaol with several other delinquents, about six Months ago, when under sentence for felony, was taken on Tuesday at the fight, at Moulsey Hurst, - by King and Hurdes, patrols of Bow-street. Hale was in the act of stripping to fight with Ned Gibblet, a boxer, for a purse which had been made- up round the ring by amateurs. Hale made some slight resistance, and expected to have been assisted by hiS friends present, but was disappointed. The constables bore -him off ina chaise. He offered them twenty sovereigns to let him escape, but they refused, and he was yesterday committed from this Office (Union-Hall) to Horsemonger-lane, from whenCe he will be sent to his old apartments. EXTRA ORDI NAVY 1 NTUELAT ON.—A bout a week since, in the neighbourhood of Margate, a hen unexpectedly made her appearance with a brood of thirty-two chickens, which' are all still alive. On Wednesday, a woman, in Bridgetown, gave a small quantity of laudanum to a young child that had been crying. The poor little innocent died the same evening, notwithstancll ng th e exer tions of some medical men, who w ere ca ll e d i n, but too late to be of any essential service. 7--- (Glasgow -Chronicle.) TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS PROM TUC I`.IOIINING PAPER'S, • :November 1. [MORNING cnn.os:i c.r..7.,.; The Ultra; stung•to the quick by the • rapid increase of the subscription to indemnify, Sir Robert Wilson, ventures to contrast the magni tude of - tire sums advanced-by public-spiritedin dividuals to obviate the effect of a forfeiture oc casioned by an act of grass injustice, with sea sonable and judiciously apportioned contributions to support tire- unfortunate and 'afflicted. The humanities, we rejoice to say, 'thrive more luxe= riaiitly in -the pres . ent day- than the political vir-- tues ; -and many, that from the influence of Tory example and the operation of party sentiments ; Ibehold with indifference or approval an act of, -arhitrary opprdssion, would cheerfully come for , ward to aid the widow, the orphan, or the hou3e - - - less mechanic. Where a whole community, Whig, Tory,•and Radical, unite in promotion of one praiseworthy design, the sum contributed by 'each individual is of course proportionally small. .—Sir Robert Wilson's is no ordinary case ; and we do not make the appeal in his favour to the feelings, but to public duty and public justice. We know the fortitude with which he had armed himself to suffer any privations that the abstrac tion of means acquired at the ex pence of his pri-. vate fortune might occasion ; but it is the impe rative duty of 'those of the . people of England that are independent in mind and fortune, that he should not do so. Sir Robert Wilson has suf fered,for us, and shall weendure to see his family made the victims of his generous self-devotion ? It behoves us also to stand in a breach 'of the Constitution, and to assert the independence of Parliament. Let that be once successfully as sailed, and our funds applicable to the boasted purposes of general charity, alluded to by the Ul tra,. will be narrow indeed. We are now called upon to indemnify Sir Robert for a loss sustained by an interference that saved the lives of hus bands, of fathers, and of children. Had narrow prudential considerations operated on his gallant mind, we might now have been called on to sup port the widows and orphans of the slaughtered. It is a debt, and we honour the promptitude with which the first men in. this kingdom have come forward 'to discharge it. The purpose of the Ministerial prints is to taunt Sir Robert Wilson into a refusal of the indemnification: Should they effect this object, the appetite of malice will be stimulated, not satisfied, by the enjoyment of one gratification; but one victim will not suffice to gorge the malignant monster. [THE TIMES.] At the commencement of the winter season there appears more than .ordinary cause for di recting the public attention to a subject at all times undoubtedly of importance—we mean the , Police of,. this great capital, and the protection which it holds .out to the inhabitants of London, in their persons, habitations, and property. The Police reports are frightful to read ; but nu merous outrages of which the perpetrators have never been brought within the reach of judicial proceeding, are yet more reproachful to the sys tem which suffers them, and which leaves to open guilt and violence the triumph of almost com plete impunity. The most daring attacks have of late been made, not at night only, or in remote and thinly peopled quarters of London, but in the most public streets, at the busiest hours—even in -broad day—by ruffians, who carry on war in whole gangs upon the - community, and who, assisting each other in every enterprise of stratagem or force, derive even from their numbers those ad vantages which would at first sight seem pecu liar to secret and solitary depredation. The Go vernment owes to every one of us protection in the hourly concerns of life, as the equivalent for our liberal contributions to the State. On a com parison► with any EurOpean capital, how far be yond all others is London, in most things which Constitute the• prideof civilized nations. How far below them (Constantinople itself not ex cepted) in the worst characteris , ics of a• state of barbarism, the number of its offenders against the most sacred laws of society! If the crimes which disgrace us by their magnitude, and still more by their frequency, were insepa rable from a crowded and corrupt popula tion, other great cities would be affected by them in a degree not less sensible than this. Or, if the institutions of any free people were in their nature adverse to those restraints on human action which apply more immediately to the pre vention and punishment of offences, other cities also .- in a proportionate degree with London would furnish examples of their perpetration. But this is manifestly not the case. Look at Paris, the centre and capital of a nation which, if not free, is as impatient of restraint as Eng land itself. -The French will not be ca:led a people more under the influence of moral habits than the people of England. As compared 'with the British metropolis, on the contrary, Paris exhibits, we are justified in. saying, more vice—but she witnesses far less frequent crimes. - - --A street robbery—an act of violence, uncou nected with politics—is, in the streets of Paris, a thing almost unheard of. The robber or the ruffian would be instantly in the hands of the gensdarmes. Here,• on the other hand, scarcely a day passes without both, and the perpetrators of both escape undetected and unsought for.— One of the great causes of this disgraceful evil is the imperfection of our police establishment--an Imperfection which we consider •to be twofold ; Ist, as to the objects at which it ai:ns ; 2d, as to its incompetency to attain those ob jects.---Meaning to revert to the subject, .we shall now content ourselves with adding, that to make the scope and design of a po lice more useful; it ought to embrace the prevention of crimes, instead of confining itself to the .parsuit and _punishment of the criminals ; .and further, that to succeed in even tn:2 'latter and least desirable of those objects, the police of London and its vicinity ought to be greatly ex tended ; supported by more liberal 'funds, rein forced-by lager numbers, and iu some respects, which we - shall hereafter point out, modelled on different principles. [NEW TIMES.] The Times and Senor Bastos are a hout equally profound . on'the _subject of Constitatioz;:l Senor Bastos, nue of the regencra!orSWf Pertn gal, very gravely assures his - countrymen that it :is a solemn compact between- the 1!:11, , ;:-1:.;% nation and the reigning dynasty that ail pers ns' holding places and pensions under the Crown aze _incap able of. sitting in , the House of Commons: Of course when Senor Bastos reads the speeches . of, Sir Ronald Ferguson, he supposes that that Gal lant General holds his Commission not from the Crown, but from some other authority in the English ConStitution. Mr. Vansittart he must re-" gard as a very meritorious country gentleman, who. amuses his leisure hours with financial specula=: lions, differing only from Mr. Hume in happening, alWayS to take a different view of the subject, and: in not calculating his per centages wrong. Times happens to know the facts of the case a little better than the worthy Senor ; but it laments that his reading of the British Constitution is not the correct one. Doubtless it would have a, House of Commons which, in order to under stand Naval and Military matters, should ex clude all land, and sea Officers, and in order to judge well of the Finances, should banish all but amateur Vinauciers—,which, in short, should represent no interests, and possess no solid information. This might be a very pretty. Utopian version of the British Consttution : but as it would be destitute of all the practical benefits of that Constitution which we actually possess, and under which . we have attained such unexampled prosperity,. we would much rather see it established by Senor Bastos, and pane- % gyrised by his friend The Tin:es, than carried into execution by any insane faction in our own, country. • [MORN IN G POST.] - _ _ Letters from Lisbon to the ‘-.?..9-d ult., arrived yesterday. They state, that on the lith dis patches had been received in that city from ltio J aneiro, the contents of which had not been made public. Their nature, however,, was inferred from that of the private vices brought to Merchants by the same con: veyance to be highly' unfavourable, and the Porgy tuguese were not disposed to enter into cgrnint-r-, cial speculations of any magnitude, either with Rio Janeiro or with any other port of the PraZil,7, The time for the departure of the Prince Royal was not known, but it was generally supposed, that the resolution for his recal would be speedily, carried into effect. The . commercial advices men, tion, in reference to the prohibitory system adopted by the Cortes, that the imposition of th high duty on foreign produce and manufactures would continue but for a very short period,. as it was considered quite impossible that the 'Portu 7 guese could do without them, their own being so much inferior to those . of this country. Hamburgh Papers to the 23d ult. arrived ves, terday. They bring the copy of an Imperial, Russian Ukase, bearing date the 25th Septem ber, and granting a continuation of the Charter, of the Russian American Company for a further period of twenty years, in consideration of its promoting navigation and the trade of the Empire. An excessive drought is said to have prevailed since June in the country - of the Don Cossacks. Independently of the inconvenience occasioned by the heat, which had arisen to 32 degrees of Reaurnur, all the grass which feeds the cattle - in winter had been scorched up, and the mown hay had generally taken fire. The weather at St, Petersburgh is said to have been favourable to, the ripening of the crops.—( Ibid.) [MORNING HERALD.] We have lately had no accounts of the least political disturbance in Spain. Even the Paris papers, which have shc.vn the, most inveterate hatred of the Constitutional Government of that country, confined themselles to the yello.v fever. They have now, however, returned to the charge —with the official Moniteur at thair head. Of all the Journals of Europe this MoniteUr is the dullest. Indeed it is proverbially so:, But the writer of its . political oracles is hint_ self one of the censors—and thus deals out his dulness without the fear of contradiction i►. France. Having no fact in ,the actual state of Spain to serve as . a pretext for calumniating the Constitutional Government of that kingdom, it indulges in pompous and ridiculous prognostiea tion. It threatens Spai❑ with anarchy and spo liation as the necessary consequence of the new election of the Cortes. Of the characters of the Deputies returned but little is known in this country. Only a few even of the names have ar rived; but fro►n the orderly manner and Consti:., tutional temper in which the elections have been conducted, it is scarcely possible that the new Cortes should be, as the Moniteur anticipates, a horde of impious anarchists, ready to indulge, like the French revolutionists, in plunder and bloodshed.
