This Magazine is a most redundant two shillingsworth of invaluable in formation for the farmer, the grazier, and the gardener. NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. The contents of the present number are of a more varied character than usual, and the Yachtstnan, the Turfite, the Angler, and the Grouse-shooter; will meet here with papers on their favourite pursuits, well worthy of their attention, from the hands of men fully qualified to treat of them. Among those most deserving of commendation are Cotherstone's and Cecil's on Training the Racehorse and the Game laws. The illustrations are creditable to engraver and painter, and, on the whole, the number is the best we have seen for some time. LA WRE VIE TV.

The two best papers this quarter are those on " Heriots," and on "Lord Eldon," as a Law Reformer. But the letter of Lord Camden and Lord Northington, the Memoir of Lord President Blair, and the " Practical Suggestions to Promoters of Railways," are all excellent in their way. , • THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW. Of this review it is satiefactory to us to report a steady and progressive improvement. Of the ten papers in the present number most may safely challenge com parison with their more veteran contemporaries in the blue and buff and the olive green liveries. The Currency Question ; Tennyson's Poems, and School of. Poetry ; Ecclesiastical History—(a paper occasioned by the, ap pearance of the late Dr. Wild's "Elements of Church History," Vol. I.) ; Russian Government and Society— (a careful review of " Revelations of Russia") ; Real Union of England and Ireland ; French Philoso phy (Jouffroy's " Xouveaux Milanges PhilosophiqUes") ; Popular Eduaation (Dr. Hamilton's Prize Essay) ; D'lsraeli's "Sybil ;" The Bampton Lectures ; and Brougham's' Lives of Men of Letters," &c.—all,:these offer an abundant field for extract. But our litnits,heing very, contracted, we can notice only, for the purpose of , quotation, the paper on Mr. Cargill's Currency Question, and on Mr. Taylor's admirable "Essay on Motley" and "Catechism of the Currency." We would entreat our readers to be induced, by the Reviewer's sensible remarks on the absurd prejudice which exists against the more general study of " Currency," to betake them selves without loss of time to the acquisition of some Preliminary or elementary acquaintance (most easily ac quired) of this, the most august and tremendous question, we hesitate not to affirm, of the day, and of which the terrible development that must be brought about by a blind acquiescence much longer continued, in the signal errors of the Premier's monetary legislation, will more fatally convulse this country than any calamity she has experienced since the exhaustion consequent on the civil wars, or the closing of the Exchequer in 1673. We commend, therefore, without further comment, the fol lowing passages to public attention:— " The question of currency is, in fact, mixed, More or less intimately, with some of the bearings of almost every political question of great importance which can come before us. There is hardly one upon which it does not either proximately or remotely bear. Whether it be a question of taxation, or of commerce, or of agricultural position, or of peace or war, or of the laws respecting corn and other provisions, or of tithes, or fixed payments of any kind, national or individual, this übiqui tous question of currency has relation to them all. No man; whatever may be his intellectual resources and acquirements in other respects, can really understand the history of his ceimtry for the last century and a half, who is unacquainted with tbis question. We say, the last century and a half, because it was not until about the period of the Revolution of 1668, that financial exigencies became prominent in the regulation of the political movements of civilized nations." As to the facility of acquirement, the Reviewer remarks: " It seems to follow that this portion at all events, of the much controverted science of political economy' is a portion which may be certainly known, which may , be termed an exact' science, and which he who understands, comprehends in its integrity fully, unpuzzled by any infusion of error, un clouded by any sophistry, undistracted by any specious fallacy ; and this truth we now propose, as the first step in this inquiry, to impress upon the reader." As to "value" and "money," these are his definitional— . 6 We find from this, that the value of a thing in exchange depends upon its plentity or scarcity, upon the ease or difficulty of getting it ; or, in other words, upon the quantity of labour which is required to enable us to obtain it. By this surely simple process, we obtain a perfect perception of the bearin gs of the general term ' va l ue ; and by an easy inference, we see, at the same time, that as various things are owing to the dispensations of Providence, sometimes more plentiful than at other times, the exchangeable value of these things is subject to constant variation ; and that ' exchangeable value' is not only an idea quite distiect from that of positive value, but liable to constant changes as to its application to particular things, of constant use amongst men. Here is another very plain but very simple step in this question. A child may comprehend it ; and yet children of a larger growth' suffer themselves to be confused or puzzled by it, merely from neglecting thus to begin at the beginning. We have now arrived, naturally and easily, at the question of ' money' and its use. It is surely nothing more than a self-evident thing, that, having once cable to see this tendency to cons t ant var i a ti on an d fl ux in the ex changeable values of' commodities in use by society, we cannot avoid also perceiving that these constant variations must cause great inconvenience in the barter or exchange of these commo dities. There cannot be, in such a state of barter, any means of quickly and certainly knowing what the value, at the mo ment, of any commodity was or is compared with the rest. No man could know, easily, how much wheat to give for so much. barley, or how much wine for so much oil ; and hence the de sire amongst men to have at hand, at all times, some means of measuring, and, at the same time, expressing the actual ex • changeable value, at the moment, of any commodity and of all commodities. This means is money ;' and our next step is to inquire how mankind came to fix upon gold and silver as the best substances of which to coin money—that money being to be used as a standard measure of the value in exchange of all other commodities." We can only afford room for one more extract. It regards Sir Robert Peel's " complement" Bill of last year : " It is not our intention to disguise, however, our opinion, of this celebrated measure. It has been well described as a scheme to prevent ebb-tides, by keeping the country always at low water.' That the intention is such as is here quaintly sha dowed forth is wet denied by its author. That it will effect even this portion of the advantage he expects to derive from it, we must take leave to doubt. The Act of 1819 was a mistake —not in its principle, but in its application. The Act of 1844 is not a mistake; but it is worse than that—it is ' a crotchet,' totally inconsistent with other portions of the policy of the very man in whose prepossessions alone it originates, and with which it is made to limp forward hand in hand. It is impotent to secure, under given circumstances, the ends put forward by its projector as the motive s f or it s enactment . I t i s at opee war with every other enactment of a fiscal or commercial nature to which his administration has given birth." Without committing ourselves by any means to all the opinions contained in this powerful paper, we really look upon it as one of the most able summaries of the "Currency Question" that we have ever yet seen. THE THEOLOGIAN. A Chronicle of Ancient and Modern Divinity, No. VII. The papers in this Number—" Objective Moral ity," " Magic," " Present Spiritual Temptations," " Hieroglyphics," " The Ideal of the Reformation," " Rabbinism "—these form a garland surely of ample variety for extract. They are, however, for the most part, ably written, and full of interest. Yet we find it difficult to convey an adequate notion of one of them by the condensed abridgment of which, alone, our limits would allow—but we " bring up," at once, at a very curious note on the article " Magic," from which we transfer the following whimsical portion, out of respect for the very zealous and learned, but credulous Ashmole. " These very words occur in the notes to a body of treatises professing to explain all these mysteries:, it would be difficult to find an instance of a man exhibit ing more acuteness in bolstering up a system of super stition, in which he devoutly believed, than Elias Ash mole. " Dr. Campbell in his Hermippus Redivivus, quotes a singular book published under the title Melanges d'Histoire et de Literature par M. de Vigneul Marville,' Bonaventure d'Argonne was the realliame of the author who called himself Vigneul de Marville ; he was a Chartreux religieux, and died about 1704. The follow ing tale is told, by way of exemplifying the notions above named:—' The day after our arrival in London, several tradesmen came to our lodgings, in order to sell us the commodities and curiosities of their country. Every one of the company fixed readily his attention on what pleased him most ; some brought gloves, others ribbons, and others silk gloves. The merchandise which fell to my share was several perspective glasses and microscopes; ho who sold them was an excellent mathematician, a man of great capacity, and could speak French tolerably well. I kept him to dinner, and as he was mighty well pleased with the entertainment, ho told me, after he rose from the table, that he had a great curiosity to show me. He then took out of a shagreen box an instrument in a tor toiseshell case, which proved to be a most excellent mi croscope. I may well bestow this epithet upon it, since it was so excellent as not only to discover an infinity of bodies imperceptible to the naked eye, but even the atoms of Epicurus, the subtle matter of Descartes, the vapours of the earth , those which flow from our own bodies, and such as bring down to us here the influence of the stars. The first experiment I made was looking on the person from whom I received it, at the distance of four or five paces, which gave me an opportunity of discerning an infinite number of little worms, that were feeding most voraciously upon his clothes; by which I perceived that, contrary to the common opinion, it is not we who wear out our clothes, but they are fairly eaten off our backs by these invisible insects. I changed my situation, and considered my mathematician in another light. He ap peared to be enveloped in a dark cloud. He told me, that this appearance was owing to his perspiring strongly after dinner ; and that this ought to convince me of the truth of what Sanctorius had delivered in respect to the proportion between this and other secretions. We next went into the kitchen, where there was a large piece of beef roasting for the servants, and I had the pleasure of seeing with the same microscope, how the fire separates all the parts of the wood upon which it acts, and darts them by the . violence of its motion against the beef that turns before it, wounding it as it were, with an infinite number of shafts, and so tearing it to - pieces, some of which are converted into juice, and others into s delicate kind of smoke' or vapour, which filled the kitchen, and was very sensibly distinguished by our nostrils. Going out of the house, we saw four young men playing at: ball. lat 'first sight felt' a strong inclination in favour of one, and as strong an aversion against another, whence I HUNGERFORD REGATTA. Some hundreds of well-dressed persons assembled on Tuesday on the Suspension-bridge, the terrace, and every other Owe from which a view of the race could be commanded. 'lhe con test was in two heats, with five pairs of oars. FIRST HEAT. G. Bancroft and T. Wortley (white) I G. Sanders and J. Beckett (yellow) ...... 2 C. Eld and F. Braithwaite (green) 3 T. Mocdy and T. Cook (light blue) 4 R. Tomlinson and R. M'Evoy (red) ... The distance was from the upper side of the Suspension bridge to the Horseferry, down to the Investigator, police-ship, off Arundel-stairs, and back to the starting place. White took the lead followed by yellow. The race was very even, and was won by a length. GRAND HEAT. Eld and Braithwaite Cook and Moody 2 Beckett and Sanders 3 They went away from Whitehall to the Endeavour, up: to the Horseferry, and back to the Suspension-bridge. The heat was so evenly contested as to cause a dispute. Green took the lead and kept it, followed closely by light blue, wko were touching them upon the quarter all the way up to the upper part of the Houses of Parliament, where light blue slightly took the lead, going inside. Green, however, imme diately passed them again, but were pressed by light blue throughout, and on coming up to the winning -post it was dif ficult to say which boat hail won. Tough, the manager, ex pressed his opinion that Eld and partner were entitled to the first prize, as they held slightly the lead in coming in towards Hungerford-stairs, but owing to the vast concourse of specta tors in boats towards the shore, were obliged to alter their course. He also felt that the winners had the advantage in not having to pass through the bridge, the heat finishing at it. A meeting was held at nine in the evening, and after some discus ion the other men waived any opposition, and Eld and partner were declared the winners. SOUTH OF IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) There was no occasion to swear a petit jury at the Kilkenny Assizes. There were only three prisoners for trial, and they all pleaded guilty. The Crown business did not last an hour. The charge of Baron Pennefather at Nenagh will give you an idea of the tranquillity that at present exists in the south of Ireland. The wheat crop, which has not suffered any injury from the weather, will be a splendid one. There is fully one fifth more ground in wheat this year in Ireland than there was last. DUTCH MAIL. Tire HAGUE, AuG. I.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Orange returned from Ems some days ago, and are now at the Leo. They are expected here next week, with their chiJdren and household. The Cabinet messenger, Reisman, is to go to-morrow to London, with dispatches for the King. BATAVIA, I'M ARCH 4 —Accounts from Ambonia state that the hca!th of that island is quite satisfactory. The epidemic has wholly disappeared. BATAVIA, MARCH 14. — Great damage has been done in the residence of Tagat and rekalungar, by torrents of rain, vs hich inundated the plantations of rice, sugar, and indigo, and destroyed several habitations and other buildings, and many small vessels, BATAVIA, MARCH 21.—The coasts of Samarang and Japara are still molested by pirates, and the fishing and collating trade are exposes.' to great danger. PRIZE MONEY. The account of the unclaimed army prize money (for merly made by the Deputy Treasurer of the Royal Hos pital at Chelsea) from the 18th of January, 1809, to the 31st of December, 1844, directed to be annually laid be fore the Houses of Parliament by the A't of 2 Wm. IV., c. 53, shows on the debtor side cash arising from for feited and unclaimed shares of prize money, grants, &c., 1,081,312/. 3s. 2d. ; arising from the dividends, or interest of monies invested in the public funds or other Govern ment securities, 221,060/. Os. 4d., making a total of 1,302,372/. 3s. 6d. On the creditor side is cash refunded to claimants, 670,339/. 17s. 61d. ; expenses in executing acts from the 18th of January, 1809, to the 31st of December, 1844, 57,6181. 14s. 84d. ; sums paid for the Royal Hospital. in diminution of the annual vote, 570 . 2841. 6s. 10:14. ; leaving a balance of 4,1291. 4s. 41d. Although the balance upon this account appears to be as above stated, yet there is in the Three per Cent. Comols 100,0001 stock invested on account of army prize money, the interest whereof is in cluded annually in the Parliamentary estimates, and is applicable to the pay went of prize claims; and when the amount thereof, in addition to other sums received on the same account during the year, ex ceeds the claims paid, the balance is taken by the Pay master-General as an appropriation in his accounts. The difference between the above balance—viz., 4,129/. 4s. 41rd. and the 100,000/. stock in the Three per Cet:t. Consuls, arises from the investments in that stock hav ing been made when the funds were very low, and from the sales thereout, as occasion required, having been from time to time effocted when ,the prices were con siderably higher. The return is dated Royal Hos pital, Chelsea, July, .1845, and is signed, " Richard Neave, Secretary.' PREPARATIONS FOR HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKA TION AT WooLvvicti.—A number of workmen are at pre sent employed in renovating the buildings and walls at the principal entrance to the Woolwich Dockyard, and the engi neers'-office near the lauding-place, by coating them with a stone-coloured composition. The dredging-machine is em ployed in clearing the mud from the landing-place, and the steps and wharf wall have been whitewashed, and present a very clean appearance. It is not yet known at Woolwich on which day her Majesty will embark. Were her Majesty to leave at an early hour on Saturday, it would not be possible to reach Antwerp before eight o'clock in the evening, and as it is now dark about that hour, it might prove inconvenient and even dangerous, when so many persons would be assembled to wel come the Queen of England. ACCOLCHEMENT OF THE MARCHIONESS OF LORNE. —We have great pleasure in announcing the safe aecouchement of the Marchioness of Lorne, who gave birth to a son and heir at Stafford House yesterday morning, at a few minutes after one o'clock. Her Ladyship and infant son are progressing favour ably. The noble infant takes the title of Earl Campbell. Her Majesty witnessed the Ryde rowing regatta on Monday last, and was so well pleased with the exertions of the winners, the crew of a four-oared boat, that she presented them the sum of 51., through Captain Crispin, of the Fairy, royal yacht tender, a mark of approbation that was most highly appreciated. There were present at her Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday his Majesty the King of Holland, attended by his suite ; her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by the Duchess of Saxe Weimar and the two Princesses; his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, the Dukes of Wellington and Leeds, the Duchesses of Richmond and Somerset, the Marquises of Aylesbury and Tichfield, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, the Earls of Cardigan, Wilton, and Munster, the Countesses of Jersey, Essex, and Cardigan, Baron and Baroness Brunnow, Count Kielman segge, Count and Countess de Jarnac, Lords Duncannon, W. Graham, C. Wellesley. and F. Fitzclarence, Ladies Fitzroy Somerset, Clementina Villiers, Ada Villiers, Joddrell, Howard, Wombwell, and Poulett, &c. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—OH Tuesday the mar riage of Lord Alfred Hervey, M.P. for Brighton (youngest son of the Marquis of Bristol), and Miss Chester, daughter of Colonel Chester, was solemnised at Ashtead, Surrey. The Rev. Lord Arthur Hervey, brother of the noble bridegroom, officiated at the ceremony. The marriage of Mr. Ernest Bunsen, second son of his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, and Miss E. Gurney, daughter of Mr. Gurney, the opulent banker of Norfolk, was solemnised yes terday at West Ham Church, Essex. The Rev. H. Bunsen officiated on the happy occasion. LORD DENatAx.—An interesting incident oc curred in the progress of the procession of Sir Robert Price, Bart., M.P., which is worthy of notice. As it passed the judge's lodgings, Lord Denman was observed at one of the windows, and was immediately greeted with three loud cheers, as a mark of respect for the enlightened and consistent con duct by which his valuable life has been distinguished, whether at the bar, in the senate, or on the bench. His Lordship bowed his acknowledgments in an amiable and a dignified man ner.—Hereford Times. The Duke of Rutland arrived in town on Tuesday, from Southampton, after a cruize of several weeks in his yacht the Resolution, off the western coast. The Noble Duke has given over yachting for this season, and ordered his fine vessel to be laid up. ACCIDENT AND ESCAPE ON THE WEDDING DAY. — Tuesday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a gentleman of the name of Grieves, of Church-street, Islington, and who in the morning had been married to the eldest daughter of Mr. Sherwin, the engineer, was proceeding in company with his bride in a light chaise up the Chalk.road, when in endeavour. ing to pass between some vehicles, he ran against the wheels of one of Mr. Burridge's carts, heavily laden with bricks. Mr. Grieves was instantly thrown with immense force into the road, at the same moment the wheel of the cart passed over his right arm, apparently completely crushing the shoulder. Assistance was immediately rendered, when the gentleman declared he was not hurt, and refused even to go to a surgeon's. WILL OF THE LATE SIR W. FOLLETT. — Probate of the will of Sir William Webb Follett, late of the Inner Temple, London and of Park-street, Westminster, Knight, was granted on the 2d inst. to his brothers, Robert Bayly Follett, Brent Spencer Follett, and John Follett, Esqs., and to his brother-in-law, Edward Gifford, Esq , the executors : they a e also appointed guardians to the children, The testator devises his real estates to his executors in trust for his eldest son George, and on failure of issue to his other sons and a legacy andthegirisy ofsue male.

The will is dated July 11, 1844, and of some length the last sheet in his own handwriting, containing several bequests. Sir William died on the 28th of June, in his 47th year. DEPARTURE OF 1 ROOFS BY THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Tuesday the 9th regiment, recently stationed at Sheerness, arrived in London from that place, and thence proceeded to the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, where a special train was provided to convey theyegi meat to Weedon - Barraeks, the pt&ce of their deithiatioa.

In reference to the recent communications respecting the receiving ships at Whampoa, Mr. Macgregor has written to the Chinese auth4ities, that unless the ex tensive smuggling in Portuguese loran and other river craft be put a stop to, he wilt not feel it his duty to• in terfere with English iessels, should they again enter the port for the sale of opium. This very sensible view of the subject is producing its effects.' Two Portuguese have . been seized and•carried into the city. THE CONDEMNED AT •ExErEn.-L-When the tidings of their respite was communicated to the prisoners, they all received it with gratitude and delight' except the imperturb able Serra. This man (the captain of the Echo, a schooner of seventy tons only,' With 434 'slaves stowed and packed in it) has stood alike unmoved by the terrors of this world and the world to come: Per three' days, - though smitten .with . a. foul and loathsome disease, .he' underwent the ordeal of the trial without manifesting the' slightest sign of uneasiness. He re ceived, the doom of death withoist• emotion, and be has since rejected the consolations of religion and the holy officei of the priest, with a cold and.bittei Sneer. He says his own heart is the depository of its own' secrets, and no mortal man shall wrest them from him. ' He received unmoved the merciful de. claration of the high sheriff, and turned away with t.s much apathy as if the message of, ptolonged life and rekindling hope had been the most ordinary matter which a heedless man could impart LCI an indifferent one.

THE RECENT MAGISTERIAL FRACAS AT Ro- CHESTER.—In consequence of the painful scene which took place between the magistrates on the bench at the County Police Court on Monday,' the: 21st ult„ William Henry Bodkin, one of the Members of the city and borough, has been called upon by some ••friends ;to intercede between the parties, and that Learned Gentleman, after some considerable pains, has brought the Rev. George Davies and the Rev. Mr. Formby to an amicable understanding. • It • is, however,` stated that another obstacle has since exhibited itself, which is that Captain Baker and Mr. James Stitith feetthat an apology is due from the Rev. Mr. Formby to them, as they constituted a portion of the bench on the occasion when the insult was offered, which Mr. Formby declines doing.• f3everal special meetings of the magistrates of this division have been held on the subject, which have been private. his; however, reported that the matter has been laid betore the Secretary of State. The cir cumstance creates considerable public interest, and the wonder is how matters are to end. INSOLVENCIES (SCOTLAND).—It appears from a return just issued by order of the' House of Commons;that the number of insolvencies, bankruptcies, and sequestrations in Scotland in each year, from 1815 to the present time, has been 5,450. The highest number in any one year was in 1841-4 J, when there were no fewer than 566 sequestrations awarded in the Court of Session (and there are no records of insolvencies and bankruptcies that do not result in sequestration) ; and the ewest were in 1838 -39, when there were only 59. IMPORTATION Or SPANISH CATTLE.—Another lot of Spanish cattle (30 in number) arrived here (Plymouth) on Monday last from Cornnna, and were landed at the Commer cial Wharf, ex the schooner Isabella. They were sold by auction yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. On the Saturday previous a lot of 32 were landed at the Commercial Wharf, ex the Turk, from Corunna, and were sold by public auction on the Monday following. The butchers of Plymouth and the adjoining towns were the chief purchasers. —Plymouth Journal. THE STEAM SHIP lIIBERNIA.—On Tuesday, the royal mail steam ship, Captain Ryrie, sailed from Liverpool, carrying with her the usual semi-monthly nails, and a large number of passengers to Halifax and Boston, including the ce lebrated dramatic actors Mr. and Mrs. Kean, and Mr. Hackett. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.-MADEIRA, BRAZIL, AND BUENOS AY ams.----On Tuesday a notice was posted at the Post. office, stating that letters would be in time, if posted this evening ( Wednesday), for her Majesty's brig Swift, which will sail from Falmouth with the mails of the sth. REPRESENTATION OF THE STEWARTRY OF KIRK cUDBRIGHT.—The gentleman mentioned as candidate to suc ceed the late Mr. Murray, is Mr. Marmaduke Constable Max well, a gentleman possessing large estates both in Scotland and England. He is, we believe, the representative of the noble border family of Maxwell, Earl of Nithsdale, the last pos sessor of which title, in the year 1716, had his life preserved by his Countess changing clothes with him in the Tower of Lon don the night before his intended execution. The present Mr. Maxwell, unlike his ancestor, who was a Tory and a Jacobite, is a good Whig; he is also a Roman Catholic ; and, if elected, as we believe there is no doubt that he will, will be the first Roman Catholie returned by a Scotch constituency ince the time of the Reformation. —Aorthern Whig. EXTRAORDINARY FATAL CAB ACCIDENT.-011 Monday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Prince's Head, Prince's-street, Westminster, on the body of Richard Knowl den, aged five years. The parents of the deceased reside in Regent-street, Vauxhall-bridge-road, and on the afternoon of the 19th July last, the deceased was riding on the hind springs of a cab, unknown to the driver, when a piece of string, which was fastened round his left arm, became entangled in the hind wheel, and eventually his head was drawn between the wheel and body of the cab. The screams of a female drew the attention of the driver, who stopped his cab imme diately, and with some difficulty the head of the child was ex tricated, bleeding from a severe wound in the temple. The deceased was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, in which he expired un AlondaT Last, from inflammation of the windpipe, resulting from the injuries he had received. Verdict, " Acci dental death." A SERIES OF MURDERS.— AWFULDEEDS OF BLOOD. —A gentleman who arrived in Cincinnati lately gave the editor of the Commercial the following particulars of dreadful deeds of blood committed on the Wachitta river, in Louisiana, a few days since. He stated that two planters, living on adjoining plantations, had a difficulty. An unruly horse belonging to one jumped into a lot belonging to the other, and was shot. Soon after, a negro, belonging to the owner of the horse, went over to the said plantation, and he too was shot. The same evening the planter, who owned the horse and negro, took his gun, and went over to the pl an t er ' s h ouse who ha- ' d shot his horse and negro, and, as he stood in his yard, deliberately shot him dead. The son of the dead planter, hearing the retort, cams out of the house, when he was commanded to stand. As soon as the gun was reloaded the son was shot and immediately expired. The daughter of the planter then came to the door, when the monster took his bowie-knife and cut her throat from ear to ear, and then fled. The slaves on the plantation raised the alarm, and the fiend was pursued and taken, and committed to the nearest gaol to await a trial. These awful terrific details are said to be from a reliable source, but we feel inclined to doubt them.—American paper. DEATH FROM DRINKING THE CONTENTS OF A GINGER-BEER BOTTLE.—On Saturday an inquest was held in Liverpool, before the Coroner, on view of the body of Ruth Goldsmith, a child of two years of age, who met her death under the following singular circumstances :—Thomas Holdsmith deposed that he was a joiner, and kept a beer house in Craven-street. The deceased was his e daughter ; On Thursday afternoon last h e went i n t o hi s ce llar for t he purpose of shifting a quantity of e m pty ginger-beer bo ttles em,e out of his way, and, finding a full one amongh opened it to see if it were good, as it had been seven t or eight months in the house. He took a little hi mself, s and gave at some to his wjfe, which she tasted. Se partook of it, and deceased had two dritiksv.er other persons In about five or ten minutes after, all those who bad partaken of the contents of the bottle became sick an d v om ited. getting better and worse untilabout The deceased ke l t nine o'clock the same night, he n she fell asleep and appeared be somewhat better. O n awaking the following morning she called for a d r i n k, and was given some min t tea, which she had had b e f ore. She kept getting worse f rom that time until abo u t f our o ' clock, when a surgeon was sent for. but before his arrival she breathed her last. The contents of the bottle, so far as taste an d appearance went, appeared to be ginger beer,• which h e (witness) had purchased from Messrs. Evans and Matthews, ginger -beer manufacturers, of Queen Anne-street. The cork in the bottle was secured in the usual manner by a wire, but whether it was iron or copper wire it was impossible to say. When the wire was taken off the cork flew out. When the bottle was opened witness poured its contents iato a tumbler glass, out of which the parties drank, and when they had all drank of it a white sediment was ob served in the bottom of the glass. The glass was quite clean ' before the contents of the bottle vvere. put into it. Othels ksit nesses confirmed the statement of this witness. The surgeon could not state the cause of death, and the inquest was ad journed that the contentsaf the stomach might be analysed. _ S L N .( ,_. .‘ , 1 . 4 . 4-=, , =.

Monday afternoon an inquest was held.in the -borough gaol, Windsbr, befere Thomas Marlin, Esq , the Coro ner for Windsor, and a respectable jury, on the-body of a new-born male infant, which was found dead in the privy attached to the residence 'of Air. Charles Alder, in Spring-gardens, on Friday last. The servant of Mr. Alder, a young girl, named Susan Douglas, between twenty and twenty-one years of age, who had given birth to the in fant, was in Lustedy of the gaoler, but too ill, 'from the weak state she was in, to be present during the inquiry, which lasted nearly four hours. Mr. Geoffrey Pearl, surgeon, deposed that he was sent for by Mr. Alder on Friday last, in consequence, as Mr. Alder stated, of a sus picious circumstance having taken place with reference to his female servant. When he went there thegirlWas out upon an errand. Mrs. Alder told him' she 'thought the girl had been delivered of a child. Whets the girl returned he told her of the suspicions entertained, but she denied that she had been delivered. Upon examin ing her in the presence of Mrs. Alder, he found that she had borne a child, and very recently ; lie told her so, and that she had better say at once what had become of it. She then told him that she had been taken ill while in the privy She looked pale, hut not particularly ill. The next day he made a post mortem examination of the child, by the desire of the Mayor. It was a full grown. taz.le infant ; there were no appearances of any external marks of violence to account for its death, and he had no doubt it was born alive. The umbilical cord was not tied. He had attended the mother of the deceased in the prison since Friday. Mrs. Jane Alder stated that Susan Douglas had lived with her as 'servant for upwards of four years, and during that time had been . particularly - steady• and honest. Witness was not aware she was in the family way. Witness, in consequence of the girl appearing very all on Friday last, sent for Mr. Pearl. • Mr. Charles Alder, the husband of last witness, said that upon Mr. Pearl discovering that his servant had given birth to a child, he immediately ordered' the privy to . be opened, when the body . of a new-horn male -child was found by the police near the mouth of the drain leading int.) the cesspooL James Dobson, police-sergeant, deposed to searching the privy, and find ing the infant lying on its back on the surface of the soil, quite dead. This being the whole of the evidence, the room in which the inquest was held was ordered to be cleared. After the jury had been in deliberation for half-an-hour, Mr. and Mrs. Alder were again _called in and privately examined,' and the jury then remained in deliberation for upwards of an hour,, and ultimately re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Susan Douglas." The prisoner will be removed to the °minty gaol at Reading, to take her trial at the next Berkshire assizes, as soon as she is in a fit state to undertake the journey. The girl, alto is a native of Wokingharn, states the father of the unfortunate infant to be an old man named Day, who died at Windsor, where he was well known, about three weeks since, at the 'advanced age of between seventy and eighty. • ••• SidtvE lioNr.- 1 A rather dangerous insurrection the had in Maryland, whi c h h a d , bewever, had taken following are extracts from th e : —The number of slaves who entered into the com bpe l e a : e s u a b m d e n d g . b Pa in P a e t r i s on to escape is stated at 00 or more. They came from 13 e's, Charles, and St. Mary. They were led by a resolute negro, and were a ll t h ree counties in Maryland—l rince Georg armed with bludgeons and clubs. They crossed the eastern branch bridge, on their way through Montgomery, and for Pennsylvania. The movement of so large a body of men spread consternation among the people. This alarm reached Washington, where Colonel Henderson had the marines at the garrison, and the navy-yard, under arms all the night of the 7th, and arms were given out to members of the Ana eostia Fire Company, who volunteered their services to give chase to the coloured fugitives. The Washington Union sub sequently adds, we learn that a gang of 38 of these 'negroes were discovered on the Frederick-road, about a fourth of a mile beyond Rockville. The negroes left the turnpike, striking into the woods, and were followed closely by a Captain Jackson and six men, who with the rest . of the citizens, were all mounted. Captain Jackson . i .and his companions soon reached them, and called out to them to sun. render, which they refused to do ; and, closing tiseir . casks, commenced snapping pistols. with which many of them were armed, at their pursuers. Finding that their arms could pot be discharged, they commenced an assault with Acmes and bludgeons, when Jackson fired and wounded one slightly.. The whole body then retreated to a swamp on the other side of. the geld. Soon afterwards the main body of the citizens joined their companions, and charging into the swamp, Pred a vo ll ey on the runaways, which wounded eight—four sertonidy, and one dangerously ; 23 immediately surrendered, and the rest made off. Those who could walk were secured with-ropesi - eind marched into Rockville ' and lodged in the county gaol. The wounded were es-mailed there in a waggon. By last night .eight others have been secured and lodged in the gaol with their companions. The rest are probably retaken ere this. Some of the negroes say that there is another gang of 30 out, and others deny the statement. N + IV Col ` 5 e or pok , ,thet 1 V 1.1 °I ite, 4 00 0 ,too
