The man was stunned by the fall, and when he recovered himself he found that his timid assailant had actually given him a black eye.—Halijitx Guardian.

Everybody has read the travels of Lemuel Gulliver, and everybody must recollect the account which he gives of his sojourn among the race of the Houyhnhums, and the con versation which he held with a class of beings who partook more of the equine than of human nature. But no one, that we are aware of, has turned the satirical lesson of Jonathan Swift to the same account that our modern legislators have, They are imbued deeply with its spirit—at least with its bet ter spirit ; for they do not suffer their feelings to be warped by a detestation of the Yahoos into an acrimonious misan thropy, but combine their affection for horses with a love to their fellow-creatures ; and even when they seem to be most intent upon a race, are most earnestly prosecuting the great work of benevolence. They sat with admirable patience through a ten nights' debate upon Ireland and the Irish. Every topic the most irrelevant that fancy could provoke— every grievance the most anomalous that querulousness could speak out—every remedy the most impossible that quackery could suggest—was listened to, argued, refuted, re peated, cheered, groaned, repeated again, until even the juvenile Members of the House spoke by anticipation whole sentences of reproductive harangues. The virtues of the Whigs in general, and of Lord Normanby in particular—the merits of the Appropriation Act—the propriety of enriching May nooth, and the expediency of pillaging the EstablishinFm,— nav, the whole of the jury-list and the names of the missing members—were before Saturday morning household words in the mouths of beardless law-makers. But, patient, at tentive, and animated as the House was throughout this tedious debate, it must be admitted that it did not evince that thorough and heartless zeal which is manifested on mat ters of near interest. Ireland was a good theme for Parlia mentary oratory, but it was not a subject which came home to the bosoms and business of the orators; it was a capital peg whereon to hang stalactites of imagery and antitheses, but it had to be "got up"—men were obliged to " cram" something about Strongbow and the Irish invasion, the pale, penal laws, Catholic conspiracies, Protestant mas sacres, incorruptible Parliaments, Orange magistrates, and Repeal policemen. Consequently there is an air of effort about the most successful of the speeches. There is wanting that freshness of thought and freedom of language which characterises the essays of men speaking On a sub ject which they understand, and the importance of which they deeply feel. How different was the tone and the feeling of the speakers on the Horse-racing Bill! There was a freedom—an abandon—which declared at once the genuine ness of their sentiments, and justified the warmth of the language in which they were expressed. There all the constraint, all the uneasiness, all the stiffness, which are the signs of men speaking on things about which they either know or care nothing, were lost. Each man spoke from the fulness of his heart, if not with all the graces, at least with all the force, of which the vernacular is suscep tible. And it must be allowed that the cause was a noble one, and worthy not only of the enthusiasm which was kindled, but also of the logic which was arrayed, in its de fence. " Horses and wagers"—" the manly sport" of betting more than 101. at • a time—the lofty object of maintaining the blood of English horses unimpaired, and transmitting the purity of their breed through distant generations by the simple process of stopping qui tam actions, this was the prin ciple in support of which the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain was inspirited to fulfil its duties with a celerity which, but for the vast importance of the subject, might have been termed indecent. But, high and momentous as these considerations are—generous as is the nature of the horse, wonderful his love of praise, admirable his energy in earning it, super-brutal as is his appetency for Queen's Plates and handicaps, superhuman as is his sympathy with the ambition of his master, and worthy encouragement as are all his other virtues—still there was another motive co-equal with, if not superior to this, which impelled the collective wisdom of the nation to take this summary but laudable method of legislating. It was not for horses alone—albeit they appreciate the virtues of the horse—that the Duke of Richmond and Mr. Wortley spoke. No ; it was for their own species also, and especially the poorer portion of them. The benefits of the proposed measure to the poorer classes have been as logically deduced from the premises as their salutary operation on the breed of horses. If noblemen and gentlemen are to be subjected to heavy penalties for betting on horse-races, they will not bet ; if they do not bet, half the excitement of racing will be lost ; take away the excite ment, and what becomes of the race? Racing will thus be destroyed, and with rac i ng t h e equ i ne race and all its virtues will vanish from the earth. Again, if races are discouraged, or rendered hazardous to their patrons, and the said pa trons desert them, the race-course will lose all its healthy moral influence on the rural population ; the grand stand will be empty—the course will be un f requen t e d— t h e booths will be unkno wn i n t h e scenes of their former splen dour—gingerbread will cease to glisten, and ginger beer to pop —rouge et noir will no longer attract the speculative cockney—roulette will no longer congregate its assemblage of lords and Jockeys, real ladies and equivocal women—finally, the pea will no more wriggle under the unconscious thimble. Ascot and Epsom will pass without their great moral lessons, and the virtue of the agriculturists will have received a fatal blow. Those, then, who pretend that the intention of Mr. Wortley's Bill is simply to indemnify certain gentlemen for breaking laws which they ought to have studied, argue as rashly as those who affirm that it is intended to legalize gambling in the higher classes. Its clear and obvious pur pose is —first, to maintain the breed of generous horses; se condly, to promote the virtue of a moral ; and, lastly, to serve the great ends of civil justice. And we firmly believe that the cause which induced Mr. Wortley to bring on last night the consideration of the report, was simply a determi nation to pave the way for the repeal of all laws which at present restrict the gaming and other innocent diversions of the lower orders. DEATH OF BARON WALLACE.—Lord Wallace died on the 23d inst., at his seat, Featherstone Castle, Northum berland, in the 77th year of his age. The late Baron mar ried the widow of Henry, Viscount Melville, and daughter of the second Earl of Hopetoun, by whom he has left no issue. Lord Wallace was Master of the Mint, and Vice-President of the Board of Trade under the Wellington Administration, and was raised to the Peerage, in 1828, by the title of BaroniWal lace of Knaresdale. Before his elevation to the Upper House, his Lordship sat for Penryn and Weymouth. His Lordship dying without issue, the title becomes extinct. SUDDEN DEATH IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.--On Mon day Mr. Payne held an inquest, at the Crown, Lambeth road, on the body of Mr. - William Barrowes, aged fifty six, a gentleman of independent property, residing in South Lambeth. It appeared in evidence, that at about one o'clock on Friday deceased called on a widow named Pepper, ,of King's-row, Snow's-fields, with whom he had formed latterly an acquaintance, and she accompanied him to the above public-house. They entered the parlour, and he ordered a glass of grog and biscuits, and then com menced reading a morning newspaper, and whilst doing so it dropped from his hand, and he fell forward on the table. Two persons came to his assistance, and finding that he did not recover, they called Mr. Coulthred, a surgeon, who pronounced him dead, and considered that he died of disease of the heart. Deceased on the forenoon - of the. fatal occurrence had left in perfect health the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. J. Bar nard, of the Belvidere-load, Lambeth, promising to return to dinner at four in the afternoon.—Verdict, " Natural death." - . _ -- MERCHANT. SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.--Yester day a general meeting, and the spring election of children into this asylum, took place at the London Tavern. The election was presided over by Captain Henry Nelson, the Treasurer of the Institution. The children of the asylum were present at the meeting, and had a very neat appear ance, and much interest seemed t o b e t a k en i n t h e resu l t of the election, some of the applications being made under the most distressing circumstances. It appears that there are now seventy boys and thirty-six girls in this asylum. No report, or statement of accounts, was read at this meeting, it being reserved for the August meeting ; but it appeared from the circular of the Committee, that they regretted the funds would not admit of a greater number than four boys and two girls being elected on this occasion, and most earnestly appealed to the generosity of the public with a view to carry out the intentions of the charity, by doubling the number of admissions at the August election. The poll closed at three o'clock, when, soon after, the names were announced, and the business of the day terminated. Northumberland House is undergoing a course of re-embellishment, preparatory to the arrival of the Duke and Duchess from Alnwick Castle, - for the season. The gales of wind which blew heavily during the whole of Friday night and Saturday morning from S.S.W., were, we regret to state, productive of the most melancholy results aloe; the coast, several valuable vessels having been wrecked and twenty lives lost. At Scarborough; in Yorkshire, it was severely felt, and the calamity that was witnessed at the en trance of the harbour will long be borne in recollection by the inhabitants. It having been reported that several fishing yawls had been out all night in the storm, and that fears were apprehended_ that they had been wrecked, at an early hour a great concourse of persons assembled along the shore, in quiring into the truth of the rumours. Shortly before nine o'clock a cry was raised that there were three of the missing boats standing in for the harbour, which, as may be easily imagined, produced no little degree of satisfaction, and amongst the eager crowds could be seen the wives and fami lies of those on board of the approaching boats, in a state of ecstacy at their apparent safe delivery. The scene, in a few seconds, however, changed to one of a most painful and heart rending description. The yawls (fishing boats of about 50 tons burden) were the Willing Maid, of Scarborough, the Jerome, and the Emulous. They Avere all apparently beating into the haven, the sales tightly hauled in, and although the weather had not abated,- the wind still blowing heavy squalls, with skowers of snow. and sleet, it was fully expected they would reach the harbour in safety. Suddenly the wind in creased, and in the next moment a terrible sea capsized the whole three vessels, and they instantly sank, carrying with them the greater part of their crews, with the exception of those belonging to the Willing Maid, who managed to reach the beach near the Spa. The sensation which this catas trophe occasioned amongst the assembled throng was most intense. Some of the ill-fated crews being observed strug gling amidst the waves, several boats put off to render them assistance, but owing to the terrific fury of the gale, the boats were unable to gain the spot until the whole of the poor fellows (fourteen in number) belonging to the Jerome, Mr. Cammish master, and the Emulous, Mr. Wyall master, had sunk to rise no more. Unfortunately, most of them have left families to deplore their fate, and none :of the bodies have as yet been recovered. At about three o'clock in the morning a vessel called the Gillmerton, belonging to Mont rose, whilst on her passage to London, was totally lost by striking on the Navestone=rocks, on the Fern Island. It was within two miles of the spot where the Pegasus steamer was wrecked a short time since. 'Fortunately, the vessel re mained fast on the rock after she struck, which enabled the crew to get their boats out and escape ; soon afterwards, however, she slid off, and went down ►n deep water. The crew were quickly picked up, and landed safely at Sunder land. During the height of the storm a brig was seen by the Coast-guard Service near Cromer in distress. She was about three miles from shore, and in about ten minutes she sank headforemost ; the entire of the unfortunate crew, con sisting of six persons, perishing with her. Between the en trance of the Humber and Grimsby the gale was severely felt. At nine o'clock on Friday night a vessel was run down in Grimsby-roads by a brig called the Prince Regent, of Sun derland. She proved to be a sloop named the John and Hannah's Endeavour, belonging to Wakefield, and the mas ter and crew had a narrow escape of being drawn down by her. They- all luckily reached the brig in safety, as also did the captain's wife, who was on board, and in the course of Saturday morning ,they were all landed at Grimsby, and forwarded to Hull. A vessel was lost near Hartlepool, and another off Shoreham, on the Sussex coast; but whether any lives fell a sacrifice we are unable to state The shipping in the Downs suffered considerable damage, although most of them had both anchors down during the gales. THE CORN-LAW. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The possession of power does not contribute strength, unless that power is attained and held by the assistance of justice ; for true strength is not physical, but moral, and until the possessor can show that he has obtained his appearance of strength by no infringement of that law, his strength is but weakness ; not all the pointing to the possession, not all the acclamation of interested followers can satisfy, for there will be a craving after, if it is but a shadow, of his being sus tained by the moral law ; and although, to the superficial ob server, he may prove by external appearances that he is strong, still his conscience will stand against him, silently but sternly condemning—even-banded justice commending the poisoned chalice to his own lips. The corn-law, setting aside its manifest evils, removing the benefit to commerce that will arise from its abolition, con demned itself by the manner in which it was passed, and not all the sophistry of men, or the violent logic, of monopolists, can remove the knowledge of its having been obtained phy sically, the moral power being trampled on. But that power, although it may be tyrannised over, cannot be de stroyed—it will assert its sovereignty, and the fact of its operating gradually on the mind proves its integrity. Injus tice, not capable of bearing the light of reason, seeks the aid of force to enforce its demands. This was the case in 1815—such is the case now. That law, passed by the gleam of the bayonet, and the threatened roar of artillery (ever the companions of moral weakness), will be abolished by no such means as these, but by the innate strength of justice. I have been led to the above remarks by observing the Anti-League's proceedings. These men have the possession, have the majority in the House to keep it; yet they bend. Does not this prove that there is a power above the purchase of man, before which injustice quails, and is compelled in abject submission to crouch? It goes 1_ For— _ _ "'Thrice is he arni'd that hath his quarrel just, And he but naked, though lock'd up in steel, 'Whose conscience with injustice is attainted." Yours, &c. OBSERVER. Devonport, Feb. 27, 1844. THE CASE of SUPPOSED TRANCE AT DEPTFORD. The deep interest excited in Deptford respecting the sup posed case of trance continues increasing daily, and it is deemed one of the most extraordinary which has ever come before the faculty. It is necessary to observe, that two re ports which have appeared in some of the papers are wholly without foundation, and Rave caused great pain to the relatives. The first was that decomposition was apparent at the early part of last week, and subsequently another re port was made, that the bod 7 had actually been buried. Even up to Monday not the slightest appearance of decom position ,had taken place. This assertion is made on the authority of the medical gentlemen who have from time to time, up to yesterday, watched the progress of the case. The following are facts which have not been generally pub lished :—On Friday, the 2d of February, Mr. Francis, Jun., the son of Mr. Francis, the landlord of the Oxford Arms, in Church-street, Deptford, was sitting in the tap-room of his brother's house, the Marquis of Granby, at the Lower Water-gate, Deptford, when he fell down apparently in a fit, and a medical gentleman pronounced him to be dead, and took no means to restore what has since been declared by competent authorities to have been only suspended animation. Mr. Taylor, surgeon of High street, afterwards went to the house, and made several skil ful experiments ; and although an hour after the young man had been pronounced to be dead, succeeded in bleeding him, but not to restore animation. On the jury being empannelled one of the jurymen was also taken in a fit, whether from the sight of the body or not can only be imagined, but for a few moments a fatal result was expected. The jury generally were not satisfied with the general evidence, and requested the atttendance of the medical gentleman who attended at the time, or that a post mortem examination might be made, but the dictum of the Coroner, that the deceased died from an enlargement of the heart, was submitted to by the jury, who appeared, however, not quite satisfied, but returned a verdict that the deceased died from natural causes. Almost imme diately afterwards a brother of the deceased was seized with a fit intermittently for three hours. The surgeon then called in, on hearing the probable cause of excitement, at once pro nounced the verdict to be premature, and that the Coroner was exceedingly wrong in directing the jury in such a case, and lie himself doubted whether death had been so instanta neous. The brother was bled and recovered, and subse quently Mr. Atkins, the surgeon spoken of, afterwards saw the body, which then exhibited all the freshness and bloom of health. Several medical and:surgical:men in the vicinity of the place, and from the London hospitals, also visited the place; from their vague expressions there appeared no doubt that life was not extinct, at least for nine or ten days after the holding of the inquest. On Friday Messrs. Downing (the surgeons to the police force) and Mr. Taylor, the surgeon before alluded to, again visited the house, and gave a most 'unqualified contradiction to decomposition having taken place. Mr. Halse, a professor of galvanism, recommended galvanism, but it was not deemed expedient to employ it. On Monday Mr. Hope,: surgeon, of Deptford, attended, pre pared with a galvanic battery, but, on viewing the body, con sidered it advisable not to make the experiment; he, how ever, recommended that the head should be raised more, so that if any life did remain, the blood should not flow to the head. lie also strongly recommended, that as no decompo sition had taken place, no interment should be made until decomposition was unequivocal, and then, for the satisfaction of the relatives and justice to the medical prof&sion, a post mortcm examination should be made. He observed that the limbs were not stiff and the sides were almost warm, and not like death. The relatives still entertain hopes, and the body is frequently washed. It is, however, in the coffin. The limbs are up to the present time perfectly supple. Mr. Arthur, the surgeon whose name and opinions have been freely used in some of the reports, never saw the body after the inquest, but, on the contrary, was on Monday, on apply ing, refused admission ; 24days have elapsed since the inquest. LIEUT.-COL. NAPIER'S " WILD SPORIS."—Lieut. Col. Napier, the author of " Scenes and Sporfs in Foreign Lands," and other popular productions, has just published a new work, entitled " Wild Sports in Europe, Asia, and Africa," which *ill not only be received with a hearty wel come by every sportsman, but be found not less attractive to the general reader. The scenes of the gallant author's ex ploits,. as - may be imagined from the title of his work, are sufficiently diversified. He takes us from Madras to the Mauritius, the Cape, St. Helena, Gibraltar, Tarifa, Tangiers, Malta, Gam), Syria , Grand Cairo, Alexandria, the Desart, &c. ; and the list of sports described is equally comprehen sive ; in shooting, from the wild pigeon and quail, to the hawk and eagle; in hunting, from the fox to the wild boar and bull ; besides numerous piscatorial adventures. Inde pendently, hoWever, of the sporting details, the many amus ing personal anecdotes and sketches of the Colonel's brother officers and associates give extraordinary vivacity to his pages. The work is illustrated with some capital en gravings. The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph has appointed Frederick Bolingbroke Ribbans, Esq., of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, one of the masters of the Birmingham and Ldgbaston Proprietary School, to the Head Mastership of the Wrexham Grammar School. " Two OF A TukDE."—ln our marriage notices is one which records the nuptials of Mr. Carter, "the lion king," on Sunday last, to Miss Chapman, of Manchester. The old adage that "two of a trade never agree," was for once disproved by the fact thatAr„Carter's celebrated rival, Mr. Van Amburgh, officiated agroopfs-man on the occasion. We understand that the tweintrepid brute-tamers are inti mate friends ; and perhaps as thoy,are the only two in their perilous trade, they are above all petty jealousies, and their only rivalry is as to who shall Most- fearless " mock the lion when he roars for prey;" or, as" Shakspere elsewhere says, " make leopards tame."—Leeds Intelligencer. PROM TEE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—Mr. Sharman Crawford last night divided the House of Commons upon a motion to post pone the consideration of the navy estimates until after Easter. This is, we believe, in part fulfilment of a factious and vexatious opposition, threatened by the Member for Rochdale at the commencement of the session. The motion was, of course, rejected by a great majority-10; to 11; but Mr. Sharman Crawford's Ob ject, the only object he could propose t o hi mse lf b y such a proceedi ng , was gained—the" public time was wasted, - and Mr. Sharman Crawford's name appears in the newspapers before a speech and at the head of the deb a t e . The occasion was also convenient to Colonel Rawdon and Mr. E. Roche, who were safely delivered of two superfetations upon` Lord John Russell's motion. Now, all this is very well in February, but surely such proceedings ought to be re membered in August next (that is, if Parliament can be adjourned so soon), when complaints will be made of the small amount of business transacted during the session. How can the session's really useful business be otherwise than small, when every, say every Mr. Sharman Crawford, feels no scruple in obtruding himself and his crotchets upon the public time ? It would be a delicate and difficult, but a very useful analysis, to separate the number of the Members of the House of Commons into the several classes of those who go there to serve their personal interests, those who go to serve a faction, those who go to gratify their personal vanity, and those who enter the House with the honest and sober purpose of serving their country. The last class would, we fear, be found a very small minority: and yet all the public business is really transacted by this class, not merely without. help from, but in defiance of, the most pertinacious opposition of the other classes of all politi cal parties, for they pervade all parties, though happily the Conservative party numbers but few Borth wicks, D'lsraelis, and Monckton Milneses. In proportion, however, to the number and activity of the really honest and intelligent men of business on one side, and the factionists, fops, crazy dotards, &c., on the other, must be the amount of useful work done in the course of a session. We have only to look back for proof to so much of the present session as has already passed. Nearly a month has been consumed, and,what is the result of that period's labour ? Why, we have had a long Irish debate of nine nights, in whicth three-fourths of the speeches have been one tissue of fallacy and nonsense—not less nonsense than it was in flammatory and mischievous nonsense—while the other fourth was extorted from reluctant speakers, by the ne cessity that falsehood should not pass unanswered and unexposed; these nine nights, wasted in speeches, making a lull half of the sitting nights since the opening of the ses sion. Well, at the end of the long debate, the servants of the Crown come forward to try if the House of Com mons will at length engage with the public burthens, and forth comes Mr. Sharman Crawford deliberately to un buckle his budget of treasured grievances, modestly requiring that the public business shall not be entered upon until after Easter (say the 15th of April as the earliest day), that is, until about eleven weeks of the session shall have elapsed, and Colonel Rawdon and Mr. Roche follow with their superfetations. Mr. Sharman Crawford's request is, indeed, ridicu lous, but it is characteristic. What are we to think of the patriotism —we say nothing of the sense—of a gen tleman who professes to exclude all public business from the first half (according to old practice, more than the first half) of the Parliamentary session ? We entreat our readers not to forget last night's proceedings when they shall, about August next, hear solemn speeches in Parliament, and read grave Edinburgh Reviews, com plaining that little or nothing has been done during the session. GLOBE.—When we hear of a New Zealander making a feast of his enemy—when we read of the purer can nibals of old making their daily food on the flesh of their fellow-men—thee horror which we feel at the act is greatly softened, perhaps too easily removed, by re flecting how wide is the difference, in race, colour, and in habits, between the actors and ourselves. But when we hear, as we did but yesterday, that among a people sprung from the same race that we are, speaking the same language that we do, and looking to the outward eye even as we look, • whose religion is one with ours, whose laws are derived from the same source, whose justice (so to call it) is clothed in the same forms, a man has been doomed to die for assisting in the escape of a female slave—who had, too, that claim upon him which springs even from an unlawful passion— in the midst of our indignation and disgust, we tremble to think how small may be the interval which divides even ourselves from the savageness of the brute ! This is not the occas i on nor t h e t h eme for indulging in any thoughts of our own superiority; and still less is it the time to utter them in the shape of taunts, or by the suggestion of any threat to give to the pride of a susceptible nation a pretext for throwing its shield around the crime which it contemplates. Rather ddes it be hove us to reflect how far our own bad example, our own bloody laws, not so long disused, may have paved the way among a people sprung from our stock, for the perpetration even of such atro cities as this. True we have been reclaimed at last, and by slow degrees, from the guilt of' a ferocious legislation ; but it is still with a deep sense of shame at the remembrance of our own past enormities that we would adjure our transatlantic kins men that they should not still further disgrace the Saxon name by a deed from which, all legal as it is, even our Bullers and our Garrows would have • recoiled in horror, and which, if it be really done, will open between America and England a gulf of moral separation far wider and more impassable than the ocean which now divides them. That ocean seemed yesterday but as a strait, on the further side of which there abode among a ' kindred people the spirit of Christian love, the feel ings of civilised hiimanity. To that spirit and to those feelings, and to the many there who own their sway, we still confidently appeal —not as assum ing to originate or to prompt the indignant protest which ere this they must h ave p u t forth, but as ready to rejoice in their indignation, and to cheer them on, if we may do so, to the rescue of their country's honour. Soon, no doubt, will the sound, the welcome sound, of their remonstrance be wafted to our shores. We wish but to return it hence with increased and more wide-spread urgency, and to mingle with the plead ings of American humanity the cry of applauding sym pathy with which the universal heart of England is pre pared to re-echo its voice ! CURIOUS CASE OF SWINDLING. A stranger in the garb of a female, about three weeks ago, walked into the bar of the Dog and Duck Inn, Co ventry. Her cheerful conversation, insinuating mariner, and clever address, so won upon the landlady (Mrs. 'Hales), that instead of proceeding by the Banbury coach, which she particularly wished, she was induced to con tinue all night, being unprepared with clothing to en counter the inclemency of the season. The worthy hostess becoming more and more charmed with the in teresting stranger, several days elapsed in the mutual interchanges of affection and confidence, when her friend remarked that it might appear strange to Mrs. Hales that she offered no money. " The fact is," says she, " I have a remittance of 6001. I expect to receive at the Bir mingham Branch Bank of England, but bow to get there Ido not know, Would you have the kindness to accom pany me in your gig? I have always consulted you during my stay here, and intend to make y ou m y confi dant." Mrs. Hales readily complied, and with her friend proceeded to Birmingham the following morning. On arriving at the bank inquiry was made for the ma nager, of whom the stranger wished to know if 6001. had been paid to the account of Miss Watts, to which a negative was given. Great surprise was manifested by Miss Watts, and the manager was requested to fill up a cheque for Mrs. Hales to receive the amount, provided she did not present it herself. On their way home Miss Watts appeared much concerned at her disappointment, and suggested to Mrs. Hales that, as her present exigencies required a little more ready money, she would place the cheque in Mrs. Hales's hands for a loan of 60/, and would give her 40/. for the accommodation. This bait was easily swallowed by Mrs. Hales, who forthwith pro duced fifty-five sovereigns and a 5!. note. Mrs. Hales, proud in the company of Miss Watts, and Miss Watts, highly delighted with Mrs. Hales, spent several agree able days, during which she once paid a visit to the seat of Lord Craven at Coombe Abbey, with Mrs. Hales's horse and gig. On being informed by the housekeeper, Mrs. Robinson, that her Ladyship was not at home, Miss Watts refused to leave her card or name, saying she was well known to her Ladyship, and expected soon to be Lady Montague. On Monday, the sth, a request was again made for the horse and gig to convey her to Market Harborough, where Miss Watts had an aunt, who she had learnt was not likely to live. No objection, of course, was offered, and Miss Watts, anticipating the want of mourning, borrowed the habiliments of Mrs. Hales, very generously offered for her convenience, to gether with a valuable 'watch. Thus equipped, she arrived at Harborough, and -alighted opposite to Mrs. Saunt's, observing she was afraid her aunt was dead, as the blinds were down. The man was desired to go to the Swans Hotel, and wait for her. Miss W. walked forward to the Union inn, where she took some brandy and water, with a biscuit, and after staying about two hours, went to the Swans to inform John that her aunt was very ill, and wished her to stay a few days at Har borough ; he must therefore return without her, and bring the gig for her en Tuesday, the 13th, discharging the expense of John and the horse, with a promise, also, of 10s. for his journeys, and 4s. for what he had paid on the road. On the return of John, Mr, and Mrs. Hales became somewhat concerned respecting their fair friend, and on the following morning dispatched John with a policeman to Market Harborough to take proper care of Miss Watts. This, however, was found to be unnecessary, as the clever and interesting visitor had taken care of herself, by procuring a seat in the om nibus for London the previous evening, where she is no d‘iubt enjoying the fruits of her tour. We might add, the dress and under garments obtained of Mrs. Hales, with the watch, are considered worth 151 to 301., while those left behind are estimated at 2s. 6d. We have since been informed, that instead of proceeding to London, Miss Watts took a seat for Oxford by the Ox ford coach from Northampton.—Banbury Guardian. THE NEW ROYAL Excaanon.—On Monday at one o'clock, Mr. Pullen commenced the sale by auction of the second portion of Bank-buildings, which will comprise this Sun Fire-office, the secretary's residence, and two other houses. The disposal of the materials took place in the large room of the Sun Fire-office, and it was crowded throughout the entire proceedings. The competition was very animated, the lots put up being principally purchased by private indi viduals, and not by the trade, as manywonfbethseolard.ticll:es:oto3-nui sisted of excellent mahogany counters, desks, &c. sale produced about 300/., making 1,600/. for what has already day's been disposed of.
