THE HARVEST. EAST Lornisx.—During the last eight days there has been such glorious sunshine, and everything has proved so favourable for harvest operations, as almost to have obliterated from the mind the previous long trails of dull, damp, and disagreeable weather, which threatened to blast the hopes of the farmer. Fortu nately the change took place in the very nick of time, as another wet week must have been highly detri mental to the quality of the grain. The greater part of the winter wheat, barley, and oats, is now cut down, and, during the last two days, some of the earliest cut fields have been cleared. The bulk of wheat is scarcely so great as was anticipated before being cut ; and there are but few fields, if any, having that prodigious crop of straw which was so frequent last season. Earley is bulky, and an excellent crop. Oats have cut up much better than was anticipated ; the straw is a fair length ' • the stooks are thick, and they ap pear corny. A considerable number of samples of new oats and barley were yesterday in Iladdington market, the quality of both fine, and it is under stood that the yield per acre is not to be complained of. Turnips continue to thrive, and though there are some indifferent looking fields, caused principally by disease, a worm attacking the root of a small pro portion of the Swedish, and a green fly the leaves of the white; yet, taking the country as a whole, this crop has rarely, if ever, promised better. This, joined to the rise in wool, and the increasing prosperity of the manufacturers, has enhanced the price of lambs for feeding considerably above last year's rates; and it is probable that the demand, during the season, for feeding stocks of all kinds, will be good, and at prices remunerating to the grazier. —Scotsman. GIN AND PIITSIC.—At an inquest held a day or two ago, at the Freemasons' Arms, Grca, Suffolk -street, King's-cross, before Mr. Wakley, a conversation arose respecting the merits of medical men. One of the jurors told the coroner that a publican hard by, whose name he mentioned, was the best doctor in the parish. What ! said Mr. Wakley, you don't say that he practises as a physician ? The juror —Yes, Sir, I do. lie keeps a gin-palace at one corner of his house, and a doctor's shop at the other. Ills bottles cost 35. 4(1. each, and excellent medicine it is, too. A second juror—llis " an tidolorous oil" cured me of lumbago. A third—lie also sells " cures" for the gout, diseased spine, and rheuma tism. Mr. Wakley—Does the landlord of the house you mention prescribe also ? Juror—No ; but he has in his shop a person that does. This strange arealgation of publican and doctor seemed to surprise the coroner. AN UNREHEARSED SCENE.—The following extra ordinary scene occurred in the Plymouth Theatre, dur ing the performances of Mr. Charles Mathews, on Tues day night. The piece was Used Up, and it had gone on to the second or third scene of the play, where Sir Charles Coldstream (hlr. Mathew..) is engaged in en after-dinner conversation with Sir Adonis Leech (repre sented by Mr. Melville), and the Hon. Tom Saville (Mr. Edgar), when suddenly the performer last named was brought to a nonplus, being unable to go on with his part. In vain the voice of the prompter was heard in a tone loud enough to be audible at the front door of the theatre, suggesting the words which the Hon. Tom Sa ville should himself have spoken, and equally vain was a similar attempt made by Mr. Mathews, for whether it was that the lion. Tom was suddenly affected by lock-jaw or not we cannot say, but certain it is he did not open his mouth, until the titter first excited amongst the audience changed into manifest symptoms of dis- Measure, which being pretty freely expressed, led Mr. athews, in the height of vexation he felt at being placed in such a ridiculous position, to throw himself upon the consideration of the house, observing that he bad done all in his power to prevent the exposure of the deficiencies of the company with whom he was unfortu nately at present associated, but how far he had suc ceeded in so doing the audience would judge by the !scene then presented. He had attended at the theatre from morning till night, to lend his aid to the company, in order to make them fit to appear before the public, but without effect. lie confessed he was at a loss to know what now to do. Sir Adonis Leech, who had up to this moment looked on without attempting in the time of need to help his unfortunate friend out of his difficulty, here appeared to think it time he should say a word or two—so he commenced by informing Mr. Mathews that it was neither honourable nor gentlemanly so to expose the company before the house. For his part, he was quite perfect in all he had undertaken, and the performers generally had been up early and to bed late, that they might properly support Madame Vestris and Mr. Ma thews in the pieces in which they were announced to appear. They had done their best, and he hoped the public, knowing this, would kindly overlook the imper fections they might notice. This speech provoked a reply from Mr. Mathews, who observed that when Madame Vestris and himself engaged to appear on the Plymouth boards three things were required. First, a public ; second, a company ; and lastly, a wardrobe. A public—a kind, most kind and generous public, they had met with ' • but as for a company and a wardrobe—here Mr. Mathews very significantly stopped, and then, in a moment afterwards, a.ked whether any one would be pleased to suggest what course he should take, for never having been bfore paced in such a position he was really at a loss to know how to proceed ; he was regu larly " used up."—(A laugh.) "Go en," " Bring on the prompter," " Music," " Give us a song," were the re spective remedies suggested from various parts of the house, and Mr. Mathews remarking that the last idea was, he thought, the best, struck up a song, which being ended the piece proceeded, and the performances during the remaining part of the evening passed off as well as could be expected under the circtunstances.—Plyeiouth Herald. MYSTERIOUS DEATIL—The neighbourhood of Borrisoleigh has been greatly excited by a mysterious occurrence, which has taken place there within the last few days. On Thursday morning a man of the name of Thomas Doolan, a quarryman, was found dead—his brains scattered about—in a quarry near Upperchurch. It is said by some that a part of the quarry fell in upon him while he was engaged at work, but strong suspicions are very generally entertained that ho was inhumanly murdered, and rumour has it, by parties not strangers to him.— Tipperary Vindicator. QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE BAR AT ALABAMA.— After the formality of an introduction, the judge said " Well, Mr. C., you want to be examined for admittance to the bar ?" " Yes, sir." " Well, sir, let's take some thing to drink. Barkeeper, give up two juleps." Atter drinking the juleps, the judge said "Mr. C., can you swim ?" " Yes, sir, I can," said C., greatly surprised. " Well, sir, let's take another drink. Barkeeper, two cocktails." The cocktails vanished, and the judge said, " Mr. C., have you got a horse ?" " Certainly, sir," said C. " Very good," said the judge, as soberly as though charging a grand jury. "Mr. C., if you please, we'll take a drink. Barkeeper, two tod.lies. The toddies disappear, and C. owns he began to feel queer. " Mr. C.," said the judge, "can your horse swim ?" "Yes, sir, he can, for I have tried him from necessity." " Then, sir," said the judge, with increasing gravity, " your horse can swim, and you can swim, and by I think you are well qualified for an Alabama lawyer. Give me our commission, and I will sign it. Meanwhile, bar keeper, give us two punches for my friend Mr. C. and myself. Mr. C.," continued the judge, "I drink success to your admission to the Alabama bar."—Boston Times. DETERMINED SUICIDE FROM BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—On Thursdayan inquest was taken before Mr. Pa)ne, at the Horseshoe, Friar-street, on view of the body of David Williams, aged 25, who precipitated himself from Blackfriars-bridge last Monday week, and whose body was found on the Friday following, at a short distance below the bridge, on the Middlesex shore. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased was most respectably connected, but from his unfortunate habits he had rot been seen by his most intimate rela tions for the last three years. About six months ago he took a situation as pot-boy at the Flower Pot, Brick lane, Bethnal-green, and while there he formed an attachment to a young woman, whose christian name was Amelia, awl who resided with a female of the name of Wilson, in Whitecross-street, Bow, with whom he was desirous of forming a matrimonial connexion, but which was objected to on the part of the friends of his sweetheart. The deceased, it is supposed, took this disappointment to heart, and for some weeks past he had been very desponding. Last Monday morn ing he left home, with a man named Vendomme, with whom fie drank freely, from the effects of which they were both inebriated. On reaching Blackfriars- bridge the deceased placed in the hands of Vendomme a hand kerchief, which he had received from his Amelia as a pledge of her love, and which he desired him to take to her, and he also gave him a newspaper for the barwoman at the Flower Pot, after which he leapt over the bridge. Several persons looked for him, but he never once rose, and was not again seen till he was found on Friday morning lsst.—Verdict, " Temporary insanity." MELANCHOLY SUlClDE.—Tuesday morning a me lancholy suicide was committed by Mr. J. Baldwin, the landlord of the Ship public-house, in the Vauxhall bridge road. Ile rose at the usual time, appeared in good spirits, and went down to attend his business at the bar• lihortly afterwards, however, he went up stairs again ; and his wife wondering at his absence, went up to look for him, and was horrified at discovering that he had cut his throat with a razor. He was a man much re spected by his neighbours, and the cause of the dreadful act is not known. IMMENSE QUANTITE OF GA E ON TILE ROYAL rfiRSENVES AT WINDB I OR S MG e ame of every description was never known t o b e so xt l r e emely plentiful on the the Royal preserves at Swinley, Norfolk and Flemish farms, in the lime and Great parks at Windsor, and at Bapley farm, as this season. S ome idea may formedbe ' of the immense number of pheasants now the Crown preserves when it is stated that not l ess t h an 2.250 phea sants were reared by hand , having been hatched b y b en door fowls, in the spr in g , at the several farm s belongingr barn door the Queen and his R o y al Highness Princ e Alb ert, in dependently of the very large number which were bred wild. These 2,250 pheasants, which were reared chiefly under the superintendence of Mr. Turner, of Virginia water, her Majesty's head gam e-kee p er, were turned out on the royal preserves, at the proper time, and have since thrived amazingly. It is now no unusual sight, while walking during the evening in the vicinity of the preserves in the park, to see from 30 to 40 pheasants feeding at the same spot. Hares and partridges are also most plentiful. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Al bert and Prince William of Prussia bagged upwards of 50 braces of partridges during the short time they shot over the preserves on Monday last, the first day of the season. EXPORTATION OF MACHINERY. —The exportation o.tlace machinery to France is again in operation. The exporters allege that it is done to evade the patent laws, and that the National Institute of Paris levies a duty of 50 per cent., but if the machinery is upon a new prin ciple:.4 known in France, the duty is only 15 per cent., heretofore.—Nottingham Review. THE CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. Thursday a general Court of the Governors anu Sub scribers to the Caledonian Asylum took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of confirming the minutes of a previous court, with respect to the appo:tt ment of a master to the Institution, who should he a member of the Established Church of Scotland, and •n other business. The Duke of Buccleucb, the President of the Institu tion, occupied the chair, and was supported by the Mar quis of Bute. Sir C. Forbes, Sir A. Grant, Genera Aitcheson, Captain Forbes, The Chisholm, the Hon Captain Kincaid, Rev. Dr. Cumming, Rer. J. Hamilton, Colonel Wigram, Dr. Stewart, Sir R. Campbell, &c. The room was densely crowded, and the meeting excited con siderable interest, on account of its being understood that an attempt would be made, on the part of the Free Church party, to non-confirm the minutes. The Noble CHAIRMAN having requested that the minutes referred to should be read, submitted them to the meeting for confirmation, when Mr. GILLESPIE said, as a member of the Free Church he felt it his duty to allude to the imputations which had been put forth against his party, and which were utterly groundless. On a previous occasion the Court had de cided that the offices of the Institution should not be filled by other than members of the Established Church of Scotland. Now, however much he and those gentle men who belonged to the Free Church party differed from that resolution, it was not true, as stated in some of the public journals, that vigorous efforts were to be made by the friends of the Free Church to upset the re solutions of that day. Mr. NISBET also denied this assertion, and amidst some confusion, _ _ _ Mr. GILLESPIE again rose, and declared that the con duet pursued by the Established Church party was most ungracious, seeing that the Free Church party were the greatest subscribers to the charity. The CHisnoLm rose to order. He denied the latter assertion of Mr. Gil'espie, and thought the course he had pursued was the most unusual, to attack a whole body for that with which they had nothing to do.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Dr. STEWART suggested, to bring the matter to a close, the best way woull be to enter their protest against the proceedings altogether, and which he now did.— (Cries of " Oh, oh.") There could be no doubt but such a motion as this entirely shut out Mr. Lightfoot, the present excellent master, from becoming a candidate. In taking this course, however, he begged it to be un derstood, that it was without the intention of making any attack on the Established Church.—(Hear, and Oh, oh.) After some further discussion, the minutes were put and confirmed by a large majority. On a resolution being submitted, that the office of secretary, now vacant, should be placed in the hands of the Directors, and to invest them with the power of electing a person to fill the office, The CiirsiroLm rose to move an amendment, that such power only be granted to the Directors on the condition that the person elected should belong to the Established Church of Scotland. He said he was induced to do so as he had been given to understand that attempts might be made in the directory to defeat the resolution which the court had previously come to. Mr. GORDON DUFF said that would place the Directors in a very awkward predicament, as one of the six can didates was a member of the Church of England. He thought that in this respect the question mattered very little, as the secretary would have nothing whatever to do with the education of - the children. Mr. NISBET said, the Hon. Gentleman need have no fears on the matter, when he informed him that not one of the six candidates adinitted was a member of the Free Church of Scotland.—(Hear, hear.) The CHISHOLM said, under these circumstances, he would withdraw his amendment ; and the resolution was then carried. The Rev. Dr. CUMMING then rose and said, he wished to bring before the Court a subject of immense import ance as related to the education of the children. It had been the practice, until the last year, that the annual examination of the children should be conducted by the ministers of the Scotch Presbytery of London, but on the last occasion that course had been deviated from, and the question he wished to ask the Noble President was whether all future examinations were to be conducted ex officio by the ministers of the Scotch Presbytery of London to be extended, as was the case during the last year, to the ministers of various denomination. The Noble PRESIDENT said, as he gathered it from the prospectus and regulations of the Institution, he had no doubt but the right of examination was peculiarly the province of the ministry of the Church of Scotland. The Rev. Dr. Ctmx.ilNG said, if that principle was laid down he should be most happy to see it carried out. He had no desire in mooting this question, still further to disseminate the unfortunate feeling which of late had existed in consequence of differences in the church, and in order to prove that such was the case he was most desirous that the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, the Rev. Mr. Lorimer, and other gentlemen who differed from himself should be present during such examinations. All he wished was, that the official examination should be un derstood to be vested in the Presbytery. Mr. DALLAS regretted that the Rev. Gentleman had mooted such animportant subject on the present occasion. It was a mere question of detail, and he thought the Directors of the Institution were not at the present mo ment in a condition to answer it. General AITCICESON said he theught the question was a very simple one, and was easily answered ; he had himself become a subscriber;to that Institution, believing that the education of the children was conducted solely on the principles of the Established Church of Scotland. He found that such was prescribed by the laws made for its government, and he denied the right of the Board of Directors to deviate from the principle laid•down. The Rev. Dr. CUMMING said that, for ten years.pre ceding the last year the ministers of the Presbytery of London had conducted the various examinations of the children, but last year it was thrown open to ministers of other denominations. He was extremely desirous of ascertaining the opinion of the Court in the matter. Mr. A. ROBERTSON said, he had been a member of the Institution since its foundation, when it flourished under the auspices of their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Kent and Sussex. The very spirit of the institution, as laid down by those most distinguished and gifted members of the Royal family were upon the most ex tended principles of liberality, upon principles entirely adverse to the exclusive principle now suggested by the Rev. Gentleman. It was understood that the children should have no restriction placed upon the religious opi nions in which they had been brought up, and even if the parents were Roman Catholics and wished their children educated in the tenets of that religion, no ob stacle was to be thrown in their way. They had no rub whatever to guide them except that which he had quoted, and which was, that the most perfect liberty in religion should be allowed. If, therefore, they adopted any resolution upon the suggestion of the_Rev. Gentle man they would be, departing from the origin a l prin ciples non which flue institution was founded.—(Hear.) Mr. GILLESPIE remarked, that if a resolution, founded on the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. Cumming, were passed, it would be as much as to tell those who were members of the Free Church that neither their money nor their services were wanted.—(No, no, and Hear, hear.) The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said, after the resolutions which the Court had confirmed that day, he took it to be as a matter of course that the ministers of the Pres bytery of the Church of Scotland in London must be ex officio the examiners of the children in the Asylum. The CHISHOLM said, if it was not considered as a matter of course, he should, to set the matter at rest, move it as a substantive resolution.—( Hear.) The meeting assented to the decision of the Noble President without a division. On the motion of Mr. NISBET, seconded by Mr. GOR DON DUFF, a resolution was proposed to alter by-law 41, which prevented a girl and boy of one family becoming candidates fur admission at the same time, and substi tuting in lieu thereof one which would do so. General AITCHESON moved an amendment in the ne gative, which was lost, and the motion having been adopted, thanks were awarded to the Noble Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. THE BEACON ON THE GOODWINS. --Captain Bullock, in the Porcupine, has been occupied during the late spring tides in planting Mr. James Stewart's "pon derous-footed beacon" on the Goodwin Sands, under the immediate superintendence of the inventor; but as it could not immediately take root, it fell the next day. On Saturday last, with no trifling exertion, it was raised from the horizontal to the vertical position, secured with chains, shrouds, and anchors, and again left in its pro per position. This latter means of security was not con templated by the sanguine projector, but applied by Cap tain Bullock simply to protect it temporarily from the ravages of the insidious and undermining tides which traverse the Goodwin Sands from one extreme to the other, and which have ever proved a serious annoyance to those numerous speculators who desire to immortalise themselves and enrich their country with the treasures which have been for ages hidden beneath the treache rous surface. This onzrous and unsatisfactory service has imposed upon Captain Bullock and the officers and crew of the Porcupiee, anxiety and fatigue which we feel convinced it was never intended they should suffer. When the "ponderous. footed beacon" was last seen it had again a visible inclination to prostrate itself on the sands. Captain Bullock intended to go out to it once more and tighten the stays, after which he would be compelled to leave it to his fate, and proceed on his sur vey. In the meantime only a small portion of Captain Bullock's beacon has been erected, but it will be pro ceeded with at every opportunity.—Kentish Observer. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon a shocking accident occurred in the Edgeware-road to a man named Poulton, the driver of a waggon belonging to Mr. S. Roche, of Hoddesdon, near St. Alban's. It ap pears that Poulton was returning from London with the waggon heavily laden with goods, when a large cask of porter, which was lashed with a rope to the hind part of the vehicle, becoming loose, he attempted to secure it, and in doing so the rope gave way, and the cask fell with all its force upon him, the sharp edge of it nearly cutting off one of his feet above the instep, and crushing it in a most frightful manner ; in addition to which the poor fellow sustained very severe internal injuries from the cask falling on him. He was picked up in great agony, and the attendance of a medical gentleman having been obtained, he pronounced it as his opinion that to save the man's life amputation of the limb would be absolutely necessary. I t i s stated, but we trust it may prove other wise, that the above accident occurred from a trick which had been played by some mischievous fellow, who had cut and l oosened the rope which was used for fasten ingerely hope h thecask tt,) the party waggon. If f discoveredsuch punished, w - ar tag e y for his wanton mischief. FOREDODINMS OF WINTER. —O n S un d ay even i ng, a large flock of wild geese passed o ver Ch ester fi eld, on their way, it is supposed, to the fens of Lincolnshire. Such a circumstance, at this early period o f th e season, was hardly ever known , and it is considered to forebode an early and severe winter.--Nottingham THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1844. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. On Thursday a messenger of the Great Western Railroad establishment was robbed of about 1,3001. in Bank-notes, sovereigns, and silver, in the following manner :—lt has been for some time his practice to take a blue bag with a considerable sum of money in it, from the railroad station at Paddington to Sir R. C. Glyn's banking-house, in Lombard-street. On Thursday, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, he got upon the roof of the railway omnibus with his blue bag, in which were wrapped up in a leathern trunk 800 sovereigns and 5001. in Bank-notes. A gentleman at the station having occasion to say a few words to him, he got down, leaving his valuable parcel on the top of the omnibus, and the moment he was on the ground, five men mounted and occupied the whole space. These men got down at different places between the terminus and Marylebone Church, and the messenger, upon arriving at Lombard-street, took what he considered to be his parcel to the bank ing-house. He soon found that a very unwelcome exchange had been made, for the blue bag, which had been made to resemble his as closely as possible, was filled with old pieces of lead and copper. Imagining that his bag was still on the top of the omnibus, he ran after the vehicle to the Brighton station, but there, to his dismay, he ascertained that there was no parcel of any kind. The Bank-notes were ordered to be stopped at the Bank, and immediate intelligence was given of the robbery to John and Daniel Forrester, the officers. and on pouring the remains of the tea out of the cup into a saucer, he discovered a quantity of white sedi ment at the bottom of the cup. This convinced him that poison had been thrown into the teapot while be was ab sent in the shop, and as there was no other person in the room but his wife, he concluded that she had put it there. As he still continued very ill, retching violently, he and his son proceeded, without loss of time, to Mr. Maize, chemist, of 274. Kent. street, and having exhi bited the sediment left in the cup, and also the paper containing the lump of white stuff, they were pronounced to be arsenic. He was still suffering from the effects of what he had drunk, and an antidote having been admi nistered, he recovered sufficiently to be enabled to attend the court that day, although he was still far from being well. _ _ In reply to Mr. COTTINGHAM the complainant said that there was no person but his wife in the parlour when he went to attend on the customer; that he made the tea himself, and was confident the teapot was quite clean at the time; that he recollected now that his wife said on his entering the room from the shop, taking up the teacup, " This will be the signal for your whores, youl old serpent." She made no remark when he was pouring out the tea, but was using abusive language when he commenced drinking it, and, amongst other things, said that she hoped it might bring up his heart, when he be gan to get sick and retch; that while he was sick she came down stairs with a stuffed bird, which he kept in a case in one of the rooms, and threw it at his hea], and again repeated her abusive language, but did not attempt to give him anything to assuage the burning sensation and sickness which he felt. Mr. COTTING LIAM —Was . she sober ?—Perfectly so. Mr. COTTINGHAM — HaS She ever threatened you be fore? Complainant--Yes. She has sworn that she would get hanged for me before long. Not a week ago she made use of that threat. After some further evidence, Mr. COTTINGII.I3I, addressing the prisoner, said that the charge against her was one that affected her life, and that at the present stage of the inquiry he would recom mend her not to say anything in answer to it ; and that having given her that caution, she however might we her own discretion, but that she was to remember that whatever she did say would be taken down, and probably used hereafter as evidence against her. The prisoner said—l put myself in the hands of the Lord. All I have to say at present is, that I am inno cent of the charge. Mr. COTTINGfiAM said that he should remand the pri soner until next Wednesday, and in the meantime he directed that every exertion should be used by the police to trace out where the arsenic was purchased. WANDSWORTH. Hannah Hogan, the young woman who was charged at Wandsworth Police-court with creating a disturbance at the house of her late master, Mr. Gray, No. 7, Dorset terrace, Clapham-road, and who was afterwards charged with attempting to drown herself, was yesterday removed to Peckham Lunatic Asylum, a confirmed maniac. WOODCOCKS.—A. few days ago, the proprietor of Guilly-hill, C. D. Airston, Esq., received by an Edin burgh coach, from his estate in Stirlingshire, a box of game, and upon the top of it, what is exceedingly rare in August, a beautiful woodcock, the best of the three varieties described by Latham. The stranger so early in the season must either have returned to Scotland prematurely, or have been cf a brood that remained at home over winter. In the books it is stated truly enough that the woodcock is migratory, and during the cycle of the seasons visits a vast variety of cli mates. Generally, it leaves the countries bordering on the Baltic, late in autumn, on the appearance of winter—arriving not in flocks, but dropping in singly, or at most in pairs, from the middle of October till the end of December. It is a great mistake, however, to suppose, as Bewick does, " that they do not remain near the shores to take their rest longer than a day, but commonly find themselves sufficiently recruited to pro teed inland to the same haunts they left the preceding season." So far from this, woodcocks in the first in stance betake themselves to the hills and moors, where we have repeatedly seen them in so exhausted a state that it would be easy to seize one by placing a hat over its seat. Torpidity, or an approach to it after so long a flight, continues nearly a week ; rest is then the great requirement, although something may be got from pick ing heather bushes ; and it is not until after this peri o d of probation that woodcocks wing their way to the marshes and bosky dells below, situated at some ten or twenty miles distance.—Dumfries Courier. THE LATE JOSEPH BONAPARTE.—The Debats contradicts, on the authority of a letter from Italy, the statement that Prince Joseph Bonaporte had bequeathed 66,000 f. to his brother Jerome, ex-King of Westphalia. He left him simply a snuff box, as a mark of his affec tion, and another to Prince Louis. The fortune of Joseph, the letter says, is far from being so considerable as was stated. --- THE DUTIES ON BOORS AND ENGRAVINGS.—On the 6th ult. an Act came into force, entitled " An Act to reduce, under certain circumstances, the duties pay able upon books and engravings." The object of this statute is to enable her Majesty, by Orders in Council, to carry out the Act of last year on international copy right, to declare that the authors, inventors, designers, engravers, or makers of any books, prints, or other works of art first published in any foreign country, shall have the privilege of copyright therein, then and in every such case it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by any Or der or Orders in Council, to declare that in respect of books and prints, or either of them, published in and imported from such foreign country, the duties of Cus. toms now payable on the importation of books and prints respectively, shall, from and after a time to be named in such Orders, altogether cease and determine, and that in lieu thereof there shall be payable on such books or prints respectively such duties of Customs as are set forth in the schedule annexed to'the Act. Her Majesty may reduce the duties on books and prints in favour of countries with which her Majesty has treaties of reci procity. The Orders in Council are to be published in the London Gazette. By the schedule, the duty on works in the language of the country of export, or on original works in that country in the dead languages, or on other works in the dead languages, with original commenta ries, produced in that country, to be 15s. the cwt.; on all other works published in the country of export, if prior to the year 1801, to be 20s. the cwt.; if printed in or since 1801, 50s. the cwt. On prints and drawings, plain or coloured, the duty on each to be one halfpenny each, and on bound and sewed three halfpence the dozen. COLLISION BETWEEN STEAMERS. —On Thursday morning, about eight o'clock, a dangerous, and might have been fatal, collision took place in our river, near the Powder House, between the Severn iron steamer. propelled by the screw, and the Usk, which is propelled by paddles. It appears that the two vessels, which be long to rival companies, and trade between Newport and Bristol, left their several ports early on Thursday morn ing, the Severn (screw steamer) having left Newport for Bristol between six and seven o'clock, with between fifty and sixty passengers ; and the Usk the basin, at the Bristol Hotwells, with about seventy-nine passengers on board, at twenty minutes after seven, in company with the Beresford, bound for Swansea. On the Usk arriving at Sea Mills reach, the Severn came suddenly round the point, and struck the Usk about the larboard gangway, carryingthe whole of th e upper wor k s , & c ., o f h e r quarter, and the f rame work i nto h er ca bi n ; uart er, away the shock is described as having been a most fearful one, the sharp iron bow of the Severn tearing away and crushing the bulwarks and timbers of the Usk like a knife. Fortunately, although much alarmed, no acci dent occurred to the passengers ; and the injury to the Usk being confined to the upper works, she was enabled to proceed on her voyage. The Severn was compara tively uninjured. It would be idle in us to speculate as to which party was to blame in the matter, which may be the subject of closer investigation before a legal tri bunal.—Brzstol Gazette. NAPLES.—Extract of a recent letter from this city :—" There are several English families residing at Castellamara, the marine resort of the fashion at this period. Lord and Lady Brabazon have just sustained a domestic bereavement by the death of their eldest child, a beautiful boy in the sixth year of his age. It is only a few weeks back that Lord and Lady Thomas Hay, who are located there, lost their two eldest sons. The Earl and Countess of Meath are expected here next month, to meet Lord and Lady Brabazon. Lord and Lady Walpole have lately arrived, as also the Hon. Lady Pellew. Lady Walpole was confined a few days back, and your readers may be interested to know that her Ladyship and infant are both progressing favour ably. Lord and Lady Holland came from Florence last month, and her Ladyship is gradually improving in health. The King and Queen are still at Castellamara, but it is rumoured in the court circles that their Ma jesties contemplate shortly to visit the Emperor and Empress of Austria at Vienna, after the return of their Imperial Majesties from Trieste. There is certainly some foundation for this Royal movement, as prepa rations are about to be made for a journey the middle of next month. ---- FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXCESSIVE DRINKING.— Thursday, Mr. William Baker, Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at the Crooked Billet, Radcliffe-highway, on the body of James Herst, aged thirty, a mariner.

(YESTERDAY.) CORN—EXCHANGE. The show of English Wheat was tolerably good, both as to supply and quality. As but few buyers were in attendance, the demand for that article was excessively heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was good, met a dull sale, and prices had a downward tendency. For all kinds of Barley the inquiry was inactive, and the rates were barely sup ported. The supply of Malt was good, while the de mand was in a very depressed state, at late currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were quite as dear. ARRIVAL& Barley. 60 qrs. I Wheat. English Irish..

In our market the supply of Beasts, in - which was em braced sixty oxen and cows from Rotterdam, and 160 Scots from Scotland, was but very moderate for the time of year, yet the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's prices. For sheep, the numbers• of which were small, the demand was steady, at fully pre vious rates. Although the supply of lambs was small, the lamb trade was dull, at our quotations. Prime small calves were held at full prices, but other qualities were a dull sale. In pigs, next to nothing was doing. Milch cows sold at from 161 to 191 lOs each, including their small calf. Oats.

A middle-aged Irishwoman, named Finnigan, was charged with aiding and abetting some boys in illegally lighting a" bonfire" in the middle of Horace-street, to commemorate the triumph of O'Connell over his Tory enemies. She said she did not think she was doing any harm on such an occasion as the liberation of O'Connell, but the Magistrate ordered her to find bail. A. simple-looking country girl, who refused to give her name or her residence, except that she was a native of Wiltshire, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide in the Regent's Canal. Policeman 271 S, said between one and two o'clock this morning, he saw the female standing on the towing path of the canal close to the water's-edge. lie hastened to the spot, and was forthnate enough to catch hold of her before she could carry her awful intention into effect. She said she had neither a home nor friends, and was tired of life. Mr. RAWLINSON asked her if she had any reason for attempting to commit suicide. The girl said she could give no reason nor would she divulge her name in state to whom the magistrate could apply respecting her. Mr. RA WIINSON sent her to St. Pancras workhouse until inquiries are made respecting her. Thursday a young woman, named Emma Tierbuck, in the service of Benjamin Badger, Esq , a barrister, re siding at No. 22, Cambridge-street, Edgware-road, was brought up in custody and placed at the bar before Mr. Ravk linson, charged with having stolen articles of jewel lery and other property of much value. Prosecutor deposed that the prisoner had been about six months in his family as cook. On the same morning (yesterday) he missed a silver thistle, and suspecting that she (prisoner) was the thief, he, accompanied by Mrs. Badger, went to her and desired that her boxes might be searched, but she objected to that being done unless in the presence of a policeman. A constable was accordingly sent for, and on his arrival the said boxes were opened, when a great quantity of property belong ing to prosecutor and a young lady, the governess, was found there and in other parts of her (prisoner's) room. When her guilt was detected she begged for forgiveness, and promised that in the event of her offence being looked over she would be a " good girl" all the days of her life. Sergeant Walker, 5 D, produced a gold seal, ring, brooch, and the silver thistle before alluded to, together with a number of tableforks, and a quantity of tea, sugar, soap, and other things, many of which were dis covered secreted under the prisoner's bed. On witness telling her (prisoner) that she was in charge for the robbery, and must go to the station-house, she exclaimed, " Oh, what a foolish girl I am, and I wish I may die before I get there." She fell upon her knees, crying, and several times kissed a letter which she had recently received from her mother. _ _ Mr. Badger identified a great portion of the property brought forward as being his, and the prisoner, who had nothing to say, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Richard Pell, a smart-looking young man, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his master. Mr. William S. Gibson, the prosecutor, a baker, re siding in Bloomsbury, deposed that on Tuesday last, he, learned that one of his customers had paid the prisoner 1/. 6s. Bd., and on the same day facts came to his know ledge which induced him to believe that the prisoner had been for a long time engaged in an extensive system of embezzlement. Mr. COMBS announced his determination to commit the prisoner for trial, but remanded him that the other cases might be perfected against him. Catherine Leary was charged with creating a disturb. ance at the Holborn Union workhouse, and assaulting violently Barber, one of its officers. Mundy, the porter, deposed that on the previous night the prisoner went to the workhouse between eleven and twelve o'clock, and was admitted into the destitute "turd, ,with her two children. She had not been more thati five minutes in the ward, when she ran screaming to the porter's lodge, and swore she would not stay in the ward. An immense crowd collected on the outside, and be came exceedingly incensed, supposing that some cruelty was being practised on the woman ; and Barber, the porter, went to the iron gate, and was inform ing them of the true cause of her screams, when she herself suddenly rushed upon him from the lodge, and pitched into him right and left. The anger of the mob was now converted into laughter, and they cheered vehe mently this female pugilist. A party of police at length came, and Mrs. Leary was conveyed to the station-house. The MAGISTRATE told her she was a disgrace to her sex, and in default of payment of fine, sentenced her to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. LAMBETH-STREET. James Smith, a labouring man, residing at No. 2, James-street, Commercial-road was charged with com mitting a most dreadful assault on James Deans, in the Commercial-road, by stabbing him in the thigh with a knife, by which means he inflicted a serious wound, and the prosecutor lost a large quantity of blood. The prosecutor, who appeared to labour under the serious effects of this un-English mode of attacking an adversary, stated that on Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, he was proceeding along the Commercial road with a truck, on which was placed some timber. The prisoner, who knew the prosecutor, was passing at the time, and called after him, " Captain," which the prisoner well knew would be a source of annoyance—the prisoner called after him Captain several times, and which he was continually in the habit of doing, for the purpose of annoying him. The prisoner still persisting in the annoyance, he turned round and struck him, when the prisoner, who had a clasped knife in his hand, aimed a blow at his stomach, and swore " he would rip his guts open." The prisoner missed his aim, but at the same time stabbed him in the right knee, by which means he inflicted a most severe wound, and the prosecutor fainted from loss of blood ; the prisoner then coolly wiped his knife, and said if he dared to strike him again, " he would rip him well up." The prisoner was then re moved. UNION-HALL. Thomas Pledge was charged with wilfully breaking thirty cucumber glasses in a market-garden, at Ber mondsey. Charles Shepherd stated that he is the owner of a market-garden at Bermondsey, in which he rears cucum bers. On the preceding afternoon, while watching on his grounds, he saw the prisoner flinging stones into the garden, and he did not desist until he had smashed thirty or forty of the cucumber-glasses. After a smart pursuit he was taken into custody. The prisoner was fined fifty shillings, the value of the glass he had broken, besides ten shillings costs, and in default of payment he was committed for one month. James Cannon, foreman to a wharfinger, was charged with assaulting and breaking the organ of Antonio Ma zeppa, a Piedmontese. It appeared that Antonio was " grinding" his organ in the street, when the defendant came up and desired him to go to his own country, and not to be annoying the passengers. Antonio, however, paid no regard to what was said, but still continued playing on the organ, when the defendant wilfully ran up against him, struck him in the eye, and broke his instrument. Mr. MAUL condemned the conduct of the defendant towards a poor foreigner, and inflicted a fine of 10s. on him for the assault, besides making him pay for the damage, amounting to 235., and in default he was locked up. Thursday, Sarah Drew, a woman advanced in years, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with ad ministering poison to Richard Drew, her husband, with intent to deprive him of life. The complainant, who is also advanced in life, and very sharp, stated that he keeps a circulating library at 3, Castle-street, Kent-street, and that the prisoner occu pied a room up stairs, but did not take her meals with him ; that she was in the habit of quarrelling with him, being of a very violent temper, and that was the reason they did not live together in the house, she occupying a room up stairs, and he allowed her a weekly sum of money to support herself. On the preceding day, he sold a small chest of drawers, that he did not require, to his son, and this gave great offence to the prisoner, who came down from her own room, and began to abuse him, and while he was afterwards assisting his son to take away the drawers, the prisoner, from an up-stairs room, intentionally dropped a heavy piece of wood on his head from the window. The same afternoon, she (prisoner) came down into the parlour, where he was preparing his tea, and began to abuse him for selling the drawers, during which a customer came into the shop. He took the teapot off the table, and placed it on the grate by the fire side, while he went into the shop to attend upon the customers, and on his return into the room the prisoner was still there, and he took the teapot and poured out a cup of tea, and when he had taken two draughts he experienced a burning sensation in his mouth and throat, and immediately began to vomit. He complained to the prisoner of his sensations, saying he was eertain there was something wrong, but, instead of procur ing anything for him to abate the sickness, the prisoner seemed rejoiced at his sufferings, and ejaculated that she hoped he would throw up his b eart, and used other language of a similar description. She then left the room and went up stairs, when soon after her departure he perceived a piece of paper on the spot where the prisoner had pre viously stood, and on opening it he found it to contain a lump of white stuff resembling chalk in its appearance, Per Bibs. to sink the est s A. to s. d.
