The following letter has been addressed by Earl Spencer to Mr. Whitworth, the secretary of the Northamptonshire Farming and Grazing Society, and by him communicated to the members of that Society, who are summoned to meet on the 20th instant : " Alth prp, January 6, 1844. Sir,—l have always been of opinion, and have frequently stated, that an Agricultural Society which had anything of a political character, was an evil instead of a benefit to the coun try ; and have invariably declined to connect myself with any such society, unless ore of the conditions of its formation was the total exclusion of all political discussions. The step which several gentlemen, who are deservedly considered among the most respected and eminent farmers of this county, have taken of withdrawing their names from the Farming and Grazing Society, and the reason which they hare given for so doing, must necessarily give a political character to this society, if I continue one of its members. I therefore must beg you to with draw my name from it. lam very sorry to feel it my duty to take this step. I have had great satisfaction in acting with the Society, believing as I do that it has greatly improved the agricultt.re of this neighbourhood, but I am confident this has been mainly owing to the total exclusion of all political feeling from every part of its proceedings. If I remain a member, this can no longer be the case, but when lam withdrawn I hope the farmers will carry it on in the same spirit which has hitherto animated it. •' With respect to the prizes which I have been in the habit of giving as a member of the Society, I shall, of course, give those which are announced for this year. After this year, I shall continue to offer those for cheep-shearing, for mowing, and for hedge-cutting to the labourers ; for none of them, at least, will think that they have a right to dictate to me what my political opinions shall be, because I offer prizes for their competition. " I shall be quite ready also to continue the other prizes, if the Society will accept them, unless I find that it is imputed to me that I have any political or interested motive in so doing.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " SPENCER. " H. B. Whitcvorth, Esq." This letter was occasioned by several members of the Society having met on January 4, and resolved amongst other things— " That in the opinion of the Undersigned, the recent avowal of the Right Hon. Earl Spencer in favour of free trade inicorn, has rendered it incumbent upon, such independent agriculturists in this county, as are convinced of the evil tendency of such a measure, to show to the public their sense of the ruin in which they believe it would involve them, by withdrawing from the Agricultural Society of which his Lordship was the founder and is the patron. The Society, we must add, on the authority of the Nor thampton Mercury, under the name of the Northamptonshire Farming and Grazing Society, was established in 1819, for the promotion of improvement in agriculture in all its branches, and for encouraging skill, industry. and good conduct in servants and labourers in husbandry. It is utterly false to assert that it was established for a political purpose. It was one of its earliest conditions that no political question—no question under parliamentary discussion—should be intruded upon it. The following is a copy of the rule upon the subject : " No question shall be discussed at the meetings of this Society of a political tendency, or which shall refer to any mea sure to be brought forward or pending in either Howse of Par liament." ANOTHER INTERDICT.--11l the eastern parts of the county of Moray, and a few miles eastward from the burgh of Elgin, lies the landward parish of Urquhart. Of this parish, the ancient family of Fife possess nineteen twentieths,_ or thereby; the remaining twentieth belonging to the Duke of Richmond, successor to the estates of the noble family of Gordon, at Gordon Castle. There was lately built by the beritors of the parish a new church for behoolof the Establishment; the old church having been left standing for the accommodation of the parish, until such time as the new one would be ready to be occupied. The new church was ready a few weeks ago, and was taken possession of by the residuary minister, and some twenty persons, partly belonging to the parish. In the mean time the trustees of the late James Earl of Fife, understanding that nearly the whole of the parish had adhered to the free church of Scotland, and had been worshipping in a barn since the disruption, did, at their request, grant the parishioners the use of the old church. Any one can imagine %%ith what feelings of joy and thankfulness the 'good people of Urquhart returned to their old church, and to yheir old and accustomed seats in that church, with the dust of their forefathers around them, and also with what feelings of gratitude towards the honourable trustees for their kind and liberal conduct towards them. Everything seemed prosperous for the rural people; when, lo ! on Friday evening week, an in terdict, at the instance of the Duke of Richmond. was served. on their beloved pastor, and some of their ma nagers, prohibiting them from the use of the old church; and the people are again cast out at this severe season, to worship where they best may ; and all because this generous Duke is the trustee—only the trustee—of a few pounds-wcrth of its stone and lime.- -The Witness. TAXES.—Some months ago we stated that a de crease would be found in the assessed taxes, in consequence of parties having closed up windows and reduced articles of establishment to balance against the oppressive and odious in tome impost. This has proved to be the case, as the revenue accounts just published show. This year, for the reason we ,have given, there will be a further falling off in the assessed taxes department. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT ,OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 9. IN RE HENRY TURNER. In this matter the bankrupt had carried on business as a shipping agent, and had also been engaged extensively as a stockbroker, and in speculations upon 'Change. The whole amount of his debts and liabilities exceeded 40,0001., out of which nearly 7,0001. was contracted on account of his brother, and his available assets, according to his schedule, appeared to be about 13,0001. Several creditors appeared to oppose the application made by the bankrupt this day to be discharged, on the grounds that he had not truly accounted in his schedule for the proceeds of a cargo which he had been instructed by Mr. Wells, the principal creditor, to ship fur New York. The value of this cargo, it was elicited by the evidence of the opposing creditor, was up wards of 4,000/. and on account of which he only rendered a sum of 2,5001. It was therefore contended, on the part of Mr. Wells, that the bankrupt had been guilty of fraudulent conduct, and was, consequently, not entitled to pass his final examination. Other auditors also opposed, but the nature of their opposition was of the usual character in such ewes. The further hearing of the case was adjourned to the 7th of February, in order that evidence might be adduced with re spect to the manner in which the bankrupt had acted, in his capacity of consignee of the property entrusted to him by Mr. Wells. IN RE THOMAS HOLFORD. This day was . appointed for the choice of assignees under the fiat against the bankrupt, who had been a linendraper and hosier in Regent-street. The particulars of the case appeared in The Sun on:the 15th of December, when he was last before the Court. _ . After the admission of a few proofs in which there appeared no points of general interest, Mr. Isaac Salomon was appointed assignee. IN RE HENRY RICHARDS. A dividend was declared this day in this matter, when a sum of Is. 3d. in the pound was paid. A former dividend had been paid on the 17th of July, when 2s. 6d. was received by the body of the creditors. It was stated that the assignees were likely to raise sufficient funds from the assets to enable them to pay a further dividend of about 2s. more in the pound, thus making of a dividend on the whole of nearly 7s. in the pound. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Three boys and an unfortunate woman of the town were brought before the Lord Mayor by M'Arthur, the superin tendent of the " lock-up," at the Mansion-house. The boys, it was stated, had called at the side door of the Mansion-house, near to which is the window in which so many panes of glass were demolished the day before, arid said they wished to speak with the Lord Mayor. M'Arthur told them his Lordship was engaged on public business of importance and could not see them until the charges were concluded. " Oh, then," cried the boys, " We can't wait, we must see him at once." M'Arthur told them, if, as he supposed, they wanted relief they must go to " No. 65, Cannon-street, and apply to the relieving officer." " No," replied they, "We won't do so, but we'll smash the rest of the b----y glaze." They were about to put their threat into execution when they were seized and locked up until his Lordship finished the business in which he was occupied at the time. The Loan MAYOR put a few questions to the boss, to which they answered that they did not mean to break the windows, and that all they wanted was to be supported without going to such a place as Peckham workhouse, the accommodations of which they did not by any means relish. M'Arthur said there was no doubt of the intention of the three young vagabonds, who assailed him with the most re volting language. The LORD Mairoa said he should try to deal with such spirited persons in a manner adapted to their violence, and sen tenced each of them to hard labour for three calendar months, and to be fed not a bit too abundantly. His Lordship expressed his intention to punish, with the utmost severity known to the law, all who should hereafter be brought before him upon proved charges of window breaking—a mode of obtaining pro vi-ion of late very much practised. The wretched woman said she had no resource but Bridewell or the Compter, or rambling in the streets. She could not, she declared, appear in the cold without acceptinc , the worst alms she received from unthinking people, who, instead of giving her a iew pence, a.died her to drink gin, and the effect of spirits upon her head was next to madness. The LORD MAYOR—You have been lately in Bridewell ? Defendant—l was there but a fortnight ago. I got no spirits thcr,: , , and I am happy and comfortable there. I wish your Lordship Nvould ask Captain Kincaid, the Governor, whether I do not act as I ought in such a place ; but in the streets the life is dreadful beycind bearing. The defendant, who had evidently been drinking in the course of the morning, then began to cry aloud, and begged hard to be lielyed out of her present dreadful situation. The LORD MAYOR—I shall send you to Bridewell fcr fourteen days; you will then beccme yerfectly sober, and if you conduct yourself properly I shall render you some assist ance when you come here after your discharge. The defendant then cheerfully accompanied the officer to Bride well. _ _ The Loan Mavoa acknowledged the receipt of 51. from I'. B. Richards, Esq., Naplet ; 5/. from a lady with the initials G. S. ; and a New Year's. Gift of 10s. for the Mansion-house poor-box. His Lordship aho acknowledged the receipt of half of a Si. note, No. 64,144, for the Rosal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road. The gift to the hospital was inclosed in the follow ing note :—" Ihe benefits conferred by the above admirable institution on the diseased suffering destitute poor, induce an old soldier to tri,u! le sour Lordship with his mite towards its support. Ihe other half note is sent by post, addressed to the secretary of that charity, with the request that he will acknowledge t}.e receipt to the Chief Magistrate at the Mansion house. N. N." GUILDHALL. On Monday Susannah Brissenden, ag€d 19, was charged with attempting tv steal a quantity of baby linen, under singular circumstances. _ . Air. 'feral, of 169, l3ishopsgate-street, dated that the pri soner, on the night of the 25th of December, excited consi derable alarm in the house by declaring she had been met on the staircase by a burglar, who had, escaped at the back of the house. Some baby linen was tound to have been packed up in two bundles, and removed to a different part of the house. Subsequently the prisoner produced three letters addressed to her, in which the thief declared he would have revenge for having been interrupted by Ler. He also menaced the life of complainant, and the inspector placed a man constantly within cal It turned out, however, that these letters, which were full of the vilest expressions, were written by the prisoner her self, and put in the post. office, and she admitted that the story of the burglar was a fabrication, to disturb the peace of the family. - Mr. Alderman J. JOHNSON asked the prisoner what reason she had for writing such shameful letters? She said she had no particular reason. The ALDERMAN said she must have bad a motive. She said, very calmly, that she wished to disturb the peace of the family. The ALDERMAN asked who had assisted her in it? She said, no person had aided her. Mr. Barry, of Spital-square, stated, that she was the daugh ter of a poor widow, who died in 1840, and she was one of several widows he visited as the member of a charitable society. He took the girl into his house nine years ago, and she was educated with his own children till she was of age to be placed as an assistant to a lady who had a stand in Soho Bazaar. She was allowed 7s. 6d. per week for her services, and the society to which he belonged added half-a-crown per week more, to enable her to maintain herself. The lady procured a lodging for her, free of expense, by obtaining leave that she should sleep with a servant. This servant was unfortunately a very wicked creature, and had corrupted the prisoner's mind. She w as at length detected in pilfering at the Bazaar, and turned away. The witness took her home again, and placed her in a female penitentiary, where she bore the rigid discipline so web for 15 months, that he was persuaded she was contrite and re formed, and got a friend in Bishopsgate-street to receive her, and teach her household work. While there, she saw the bill at Mr. Teralli's, and entered his service. The ALDERMAN asked where she would go if she were dis charged ?—She replied that she would endeavour to get an honest living. The ALDERMAN, after some conversation with the com plainant, remanded her for a Jew days, to consider hew she should be disposed of. BOW-STREET, A dissipated-looking man, named Jeremiah Sulivan, was placed before Alr. Jardine, charged with stealing a pair of Wellington boots from the feet of another prisoner in the station-house cell. . The prisoner had been given into custody on a charge of housebreaking, but the case was not substantiated, and he was discharged. As he was leaving the dock the officer said there was another charge against the prisoner. When he went to the cell this morning to bring the prisoners out, the prosecutor, Mr. Hudson, who had been brought to the station-house for being drunk, said that some one had taken his boots off in the night. The witness examined the cell, and found the boots on the feet of the prisoner. On further examination he discovered the shoes the prisoner wore when taken into custody in the water-closet. The prisoner said the boots were not the pro secutor's, for he (the prisoner) had bought them the day before in Monmouth-street. Mr. Hudson, the owner of the boots, said he was brought to the station-house in a state of intoxication, and after he had been in the cell a ,host time, he fell asleep. He was aroused soon after by feeling some one taking off his boots, but he took no notice of this, as he thought he was at home, he being in the habit of having his boots taken off for him. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was drunk, and did not know what he was about. Mr. JARDINE asked the officer if this was the case? The officer said the prisoner was drunk. Mr. JARDINE said it was just possible that the prisoner's story was correct, and therefore on this occasion he would be discharged. But he would advise him to be very cautious in future, as he had had a very narrow escape. MARYLEBONE. Edward Burton, a person having the appearance of a gen tleman's servant, was charged with having swindled an Irish farm servant of two sovereigns. The Irishman had lately arrived in London from New South Wales, and was about to go by railway to Bristol, and while waiting with his luggage at the Mint public-house, the pri , saner came in and entered into conversation; an accomplice followed, and they contrived, by showing a large sum of money (counterfeit of course) to get two sovereigns from complainant. He discovered the trick, and when the prisoner attempted to. escape, and dropped the two sovereigns, he caught him by the collar, and gave him into eustody. The complainant added that he had now lust his passage, and could not leave for Bristol =for another week. The prisoner, in answer to inquiries from the Magistrate, said, that he was a groom, and had formerl. lived in the service of some of the first noblemen, and amongst others the Duke of Rutland, the Earls of Onslow and Fitzwilliam, as also in that of Mr. Tierney, of Somerset House. His present residence he refused to disclose. Mr. RAWLINSON said ►hat it would be an act of injustice to bind over the poor Irishman to l rasecute at the sessions, and he would, therefore, as the more merciful mode of remunerating him for loss of time and trouble, give him his two sovereigns, and add him a third to pay his .expenses during the time he would be obliged to wait his passage. He would remand the prisoner till Thursday next. The Irishman expressed his heartfelt gratitude, and then left the Court. CLERKENWELL. .filan Harvey, a well-known thief, was charged with felo niously attempting to enter the house of Mr. Meares, a gentle man of fortune, residing at No. 12, New Ormond-street. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night, Mr. Meares being standing in the hall, beard a key in the street door, and the latch gently lifted up. The key was taken out again, and another key applied. Mr. Meares rushed to the door, opened it, and seized the prisoner. A policeman was sent for, and several skeleton keys were found on his person. Mr. GREEN WOOD sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment. Mr. Combe was occupied, during the greater part of yester day, in investigating into the cases of three young men, named Kedgell, French, and Ilonin, the former being charged with creating a disturbance at the Clerkenwell workhouse, and the twe latter with knocking at the door of Mr. Cooksey, the overseer. The boys had been working in the yard of industry attached to the workhouse, all day. They were drawing trucks laden with wood. In the morning the parish gave them their break fast ; but ninepence each was considered sufficient remunera tiong for their day's work, which they received. There was no complaint that the boys had not performed the work as signed them, but when they applied for lodging in the evening, at the workhouse door, they were refused it. They had ex pended on food the ninepence, and could not consequently ob tain lodging, unless at the workhouse. They applied to the overseer, Mr. Dyer, but he refused them, and the poor fellows, not liking to wander about the streets all night, in severe wea ther, knocked at the workhouse and overseer's doors. For so doing they were given into custody, and lodged at the station house. It was contended by the parochial functionaries that the boys had formerly misconducted themselves in the workhouse. Mr. COMBE said that if the boys had misconducted them selves in the very worst manner they had a right to admission as destitute poor. Surely they should not be suffered to wander about the streets, perhaps be driven into the commissionnf crime. It was quite plain that ninepence would not feed them during a days' hard work and pay for their lodging. It was absurd to think so. If they misconducted themselves at the workhouse they could be punished for it, but even a murderer if he were utterly destitute could not be legally refused a night's lodging in a workhouse.—The boys were discharged. In the course of the investigation it was stated that there are at present 600 paupers in the Clerkenviell workhouse which was built to contain only half that number. WORSHIP-STREET. SHA AYERS OUTWITTED.—Two well-dressed men, named George Mumford and Charles Jarvis, were charged, con jointly with Henry Lovitt, a simple-looking countryman, with having been concerned in an attempt to rob Mr. Thomas Wil son, a builder, residing at Upminster, in Essex. The prosecutor stated that he had come to London to trans mit some business, and, on the preceding afternoon, was pass ing through Norton Folgate, near the terminus of the Eastern where he was accosted by the p r i soner Aim Counties if he was going down by th e ra il way , uo rd Railway, wh 0 ask d him e as he himself was about to engage a place by th e f our o ' c l oc k train. Witness replied that he intended to go by the five o'clock train; upon which the prisoner said that, as he had plenty of time to spare, he should protract his stay for an hour, that he might have the pleasure of his company. After some further conversation, the prisoner proposed an adjournment to a public house, when the stale trick of inducing every one in the room to exhibit his money was resorted to. The prosecutor was asked to exhibit what he had, to show his respectability. He apparently agreed to the proposition, but said he had some urgent business to transact in the neighbo . urhood, and would return in a few minutes. He then left them and proceeded at once to the station-house, where he obtained the assistance of a policeman, with whom he returned back to the public house and gave the prisoners, toge ther with Lovett, whom he found in their company, into custody. The policeman produced a roll of dash notes which the pri soner Mumford had thrown from him on. their way to the sta tion-house, and also a purse containing 19 sham sovereigns, which was found concealed underneath the sleeve of his coat. Sergeant Coleman stated that the prisoner Lovitt had been ascertained to be a highly respectable man, who had acciden tally fallen into the prisoners' company. He therefore wished to withdraw the charge against him. Mr. William Shurey, cashier at the establishment of Sir H. Meux and Co., the extensive brewers, stated that the prisoner Lovitt held the situation of bailiff to Sir H. Meux, and was a person of unimpeachable integrity. He had come to town to settle his annual accounts, and had 63/. in his pocket, of which he would no doubt have been speedily dispossessed, had he re mained much longer in company wits the prisoners. The MacisraaTe instantly ordered Lovitt to be discharged, and on asking him how he got into the prisoners' company, he said that he entered the public-house to procure some refresh ment, and found the prisoners in the parlour, who were in the act of relating a story, when the recital was cut short by the arrival of the policeman, who conveyed them all to the station-house. Sergeant Coleman applied to the Magistrate to remand the prisoners, as he expected to be able to establish other charges against them.—The prisoners were accordingly remanded. XAR.LBOROUGH 7 STREET. Joseph Brown, a cab-driver, was charged before Mr. Maltby, with furious driving while in a state of intoxication. On Saturday night the defendant was seen driving at a furious pace through Piccadilly, and, after proceeding a short distance, he came with terrible force against a cart, in which a man and his daughter were seated. The shaft of the cart penetrated the body of the cabman's horse, and it was necessary to kill the animal, which was valued at 10/. Damage was also done to the cart-horse to the amount of 31. The case having been fully proved, Mr. Marmric said he should inflict a fine of 10/. for the public offence, order the defendant to pay 31., the damage done to the cart-horse, and prevent the defendant from again en dangering the safety of the public by at once revoking his license. QUERN-SQUARE. Sarah, Elizabeth, and ✓ane Hopwood, three sisters of re spectable appearance, were on Monday placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a quart of coffee, and about 141 b. of coals, from the residence of Mr. C. Bague. At about a quarter past eight o'clock on Monday morning a policeman saw the prisoners Elizabeth and Jane go to the area railings, where they had not stand many minutes when a hand from the area gave them a basket and jug, with which they walked away. He followed, and stopped them, and found in the possession of Elizabeth a basket contailting coals and a quart of coffee. Mr. Bague proved that the prisoner Sarah was in his ser vice, and that there ♦vas no other person below to hand the pia; erty through the area railings.. The prisoner Sarah admitted her guilt; Elizabeth made no defence ; and Jane alleged that she was innocent, as she bad merely gone to the house to bid her sister good-by. Mr. Bague was very desirous that the magistrate should dis pose of this case summarily, but The IlwatsintATE considered it one of those eases which ought to be sent to a jury, and committed the prisoners for trial. UNION-HALL. Morgan Jones, an athletic man, was charged with com mittinc, a violent assault on James Fox, who is confined tc the hospital owing to the serious nature of the injuries he received. It at, pear , d that en the preceding day the defendant was seen passing ,!i.1•.; Kensington-lane, followed by a man much his inferior in point of stature. The defendant, addressing the latter person, was heard to exclaim, ‘, If you follow me any longs r, I will settle you !" 'The man continued to go after the defendant, who turned upon him and gave him a desperate blow in the face, which knocked him into the road, and in flicted a most extensive wound down nearly the whole length of his cheek. The man was taken up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to the brspital, where it was found tLat the in jury he had received was of such a serious nature, that he was not in a fit state to enable him to appear against his assailant, who was remanded. Edward May was charged with stealiag a twelfth cake from the shop of a pastry-cook in East-lane.

SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM.— ROCHESTER, MON DAY.—Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three n clock, an express arrived at Pocheeter, bringing information that an in cendiary fire had broken out in the stackyard of Mr. Allen, who holds the Buckhulm Farm, at Hi • gh Ilalstow, in the hundred of 800. Mr. Batten, the agent of the Sun Fi re -office here, immediately ordered not his engine, and about four o'clock pro ceeded to the spot, which is about six miles distant from Ro chester. Very judicious steps were taken to suppress the flames, and to these and the fortunate circumstance of the wind setting off the barn and house, which immediately ad join the stackyard, may be attributed the preservation of the rest of the property. Directly in front of the farm-house is a large horse-pond, from which the engine obtained a plentiful supply of water, which was poured on the burning mass, while a number of labourers from the adjoining hamlet of High Halstow spread the materials of th e stac k s upon the ground, and removed into the adjacent turnip field the small portion which they could from time to time save. Mr. Allen steed that the property destroyed Consisted of two stacks of oats and two of beans, the whole being the produce of 26 acres. From information gathered from Mr. Allen and upon the spot, there appears but little doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The farm servant of Mr. Allen, going ac cidentally out of the house between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, saw smoke issuing from the farm-yard, and on going to see what was the matter, found one of the stacks alight, but no one was to be seen near. The discovery was made at the same time by the people at Halstow Church, which is within sight of the farm, when Mr. Lewis, the clergyman of the parish, was about to commence divine service, and that gentle man, wit h a praiseworthy feeling, at once dismissed the congre gation, urging them to assist in putting out the fire, setting them an example in his own person. Some Lucifer-matches were found shortly after the fi.e broke out near the spot, and the constable of the parish, who had been making inquiries, said that he had sufficient information to call for an investiga tion. The general opinion seems to be that the crime was committed by a stranger, as Mr. Allan has always been on the best terms with his vi orkpeople, and is universally respected. Mr. Alleh is insured in the Globe Fire-office, but it is doubtful whether or not to the full extent of the damage sustained. At nine o'clock last night the flames were so far subdued that no further danger was apehended. BLUNTISHAM.—INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Monday evening last, about seven o'clock, a fire was discovered raging in the homestead of Mr. Asplen, farmer of this place, and one of the guardians of the poor; the flames spread rapidly, and in spite of the exertions of the neighbours and the presence of two engines, were not subdued till all the stacks in the yard (but one), and a barn containing threshed corn, were con sumed. The dwelling-house was saved, as were the imple ments and stock on the premises. There is no doubt as to the conflagration having been caused by an incendiary, as Mr. Asplen has for some time past been subjected to a system of annoyance. The evening before the fire, the manes and tails of some horses were cut off, and very lately all the gates on his farm were despoiled of their hinges.— Cambridge Independent. DR. MAGINN.—" Talking on one occasion about his ' Shakspeare Papers,' I asked him why he did not write the character of Hamlet ? I have often thought of it,' he said, 'but never could make up my mind to it. I'm afraid of him.' 'Of all the Roman poets, Horace is the fellow for me. His recommendations is what gene rally spoils all other poets—the real ecaamon sense he displays in all his poems.' Take the best novels of any of the living novelists of the day, and you will find that all their after works have the same traits of com position and plot as the first. There is not one that can be compared with Fielding or Smollett. Filling three volumes appears their principal object.' I would give a vote to every ane man, whose age exceeds one-and-twenty—but no ballot.' —Dublin University Magazine. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning a house painter and decorator, named James Fry, 42 years of age, who was at work at the town residence of the Duke of Devonshire, in Piccadilly, sustained the following shocking accisleet, which at the time, was much feared would have been attended with fatal results. It appears that the unfortunate man Fry has, together with several other workmen, been en gaged for some time past in repairing and embellishing the above princely mansion ; on Saturday, however, whilst stand ing upon a lathier, between thirty and forty feet from the ground, lie suddenly slipped and fell upon the gravel and loose stones in the area in front of the premises. The poor fellow, when raised, was found to be in an apparent state of insensi bility, and no time was lest in conveying him to St. George's Hospital, where upon examination by the house surgeons, it was discovered that he had sustained a shocking fracture of the vertebrae of the back, besides other serious injuries. The patient received every attention from the medical gentlemen and others of the institution, and although he still lies in a state of great suffering, h o p es were given of his ultimate re covery. A BELGIAN SORCERER. A Brussels journal of Sunday furnishes us with the following history of jugglery acting upon ignorance and superstition. A journey man at Uccle, named Hertveld, had the reputa tion of being the most redoubtable of sorcerers. His fame reached the ears of a peasant who had a daughter about 17 years of age, suffering from a complaint, which way in truth no other than pulmonary phthisis. The father, impelled by his natural affections, unguided by education, thter mined to eonsult the sorcerer. Hertveld imme diately obeyed the summons, and came with a most awful-looking book, .which he opened with mystic signs, and muttered over it some incantations perfectly unintelligible to the family, and certainly equally so to himself. This done, he inquired the seat of the disease, and then. commanded the peasani. to dig - -a. hole in the floor of his cottage, which wits either paved nor floored. A pickaxe was got, - and the hole made. When of a Certain depth, Hert veldt uttered a piercing cry, stooped down, and brought from the bottom a pincushion full of pins, which he himself, unperceived by those around him, had adroitly thrown into it. Having hastily counted the pios, he exclaimed to the father, "Your daughter is saved! There are ' only 27 pins, hut if there had been one more, she must have died." He then explained that these pins belonged to as many witches, who used them in torturing the young woman; hut fin. a sum of money to be divided among them he could in duce them to fiiret. , :o their malice. The deluded hither gave him 155 . ., which he said would do. The pincushion, with all the pins in it, was then throWn into the fire by the pretended sorcerer, who, in order, as he said, to avoid contami nation, took it up with a pair of tongs. This article consumed, the rogue offered to show the party the Devil himself, assuring them that he would be perfectly harmless, as he would - make him appear in the shape of a black beetle. With fear and trembling they consented, and even gave 10f. more fur this sight of the enemy of mankind. Having pocketed the money, Hertveld led his dupes into the stable, and the pickaxe was again set to work. The hole being formed, by the same sleight-of hand he produced a very ordinary small box, in which, he said, his Satanic Majesty was confined. This was carried into the cottage, and opened by Hertveld, with a repetition of all his jug glery. The beetle was exhibited to the as tonished and terrified eyes of the family, all of whom devoutly crossed themselves to avert the evil influence, Their curiosity being satiated, the box and the Devil were committed to the flames, as the most appropriate berth, and the sorcerer took his departure. The poor girl's suf ferings continued undiminished, and the poor deluded people suspected the fraud that had been imposed upon them. An informa tion- was laid against Hertveld, and -he and his cabalistic volume were brought be fore the magistrate. The book proved to be an old disfigured History of Joseph 11., not one word of which could Hertveld read, for he does not know one letter in the alph:ibet. The im postor was committed for trial.—Galignani's Messenger. THE WORLD SOME EIGHTY YEAR' , AGO. A Newcastle Chronicle, dated March 1, 1766, which has recently fiiiien into our hands; con tains some odds and ends of old world intelli gence tnat seem worth reprinting: : - THE CORN TRADE.—The first. paragraph that catches the eye is the foilowhig, under date Loudon, Febrtn 20 :"—" thot4ano quarters of wheat have, since the first of this month, been shipped at Yarniouili for exportation." Then follows the inctince mem, that on the ISth the Royal assent was given to the following, among other Bids : •• Am to prohibit the exportation of corn, grain, inalt, tin al, flour, bre,ai, insciPt,and stand' for a hunted time." "An Aet ;)i• allowing the .ithporlation ;:f corn and trout his Ma j,:stv'S colonies is Amt ric.i inn) ihis kingdom, fOr jiniti•d time, tree of duty." " Att Act for (,://ortyiny the importation and oaluirat inTo ll6s kingdom, for a it d m i ll p ee , ' in natural con. - -:cqu,:eers, the A(.!+ quoted, is this paragraph, dated London, - E'b. 23:— ( ' No 100 than 60,h00 quarter; of oats nave been commissioned Irian llolland, since the late Act passed, for importing that commodiEy duty free." THE COAL TRADE.—" A Bill for regulating the statute measure of coals at Newcastle and Sunderland, and for making twenty ehaldrons to a keel, is IL.reparing to be laid before an ,august assembly :"—the "avust assembly" being none other than the old, rotten, borouginnongering House of Commons, then too sacred a thing to be even named in print protium. FOREIGN FREE TRADE.—" RAMBURGH, FEB. 11.—It's said that the King of Prussia demands of this city a total exemption of duties for all goods that go from hence into his dominions." MATRIMONIAL.—How oddly the following would read in the columns of our Newcastle namesake of the present date !—" A few days ago was married, at Askham, in Westmoreland, Mr. Thomas C ast l e h ow of ,Water-Millock, Cumberland, to Miss Stelley of Askham ; a sprightly, genteel• and well-accomplished young lady, with a fortune of 3,0001," FREE TRADE REJOICINGS INl766.—"Extract of a Letter from London."—" On Friday, the affair of the American Stamp Act was reassumed in a certain great assembly (Parliament), when a great patriot, by way of recapitulation of the facts of a former oration, held forth for about an hour; every whisper was hushed, and every ear attentive. He was seconded by G. C. who gained great applause, and by several others who gained a great majority. " Several of our principal merchants attended this meeting, after the breaking up of which, they ordered the bells in the city to be rung, and the ships in the river to display their colours. And it is now concluded that the great bar to trade is removed or repealed ; some say it is to remain as it stands and die ; others that 'tis suspended for five years. Be it as it will, 'tis all over; trade has got a fine fillip.—All people are full of spirits, and joy is seen glistening on every countenance. This has been a busy day, and not less than 10,000 letters will be dispatched of this event to night. The great orator is now • toasted, The Patron of Commerce, by way of addition to his oilier patriotic titles." AN EPISCOPAL WIT.—" The Right Rev. the Bishop of B—, preaching lately in the city, observed that the Christian religion was, at this time, in a condition not much unlike that of its great Master; for, between superstition on . the one hand, and enthusiasm on the other, it was crucified between two thieves."—Verily, the year of grace, 1844, bears a strong family likeness to its predecessor !—Durham Chronicle. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—Soine weeks ago a young woman, called Mary Whiteley, who had lived as housekeeper with Mr. Hay, surgeon, in Park-square, was missing, and, from the circumstance of her clothes being found on a post near the river side, there could be little doubt that she had sought a watery grave. Day after day, however, the river was searched in vain for the body, and hopes began to be entertained that she was still alive. These hopes have proved to be groundless. On Wednesday last, upwards of three weeks from the day wben she was missed her body rose to the surtace of the water, and was disco vered floating down the river Aire, betwixt the flood-gates and the dam, at Knostrop. From the investigation which took place at the inquest, held on the same day, it appeared that an attachment had subsisted for some time previously between the unfortunate woman and a fish-dealer called Robert ,Arm strong. The intimacy, however, had been broken off, and Armstrong was going to be married in a short time to another woman. The jury gave in their verdict, " Found drowned, but by what means there was not sufficient evidence to show." —Leeds Times. SUDDEN DEATH IN A BALL-BOOM.----A truly awful instance of the uncertainty of life occurred at Ross, on Wednes day se'nnight. A party of friends had met to spend the evening at the house of Mr. Thomas Edwards, New-street, when one of the party, Miss Eliza Fisher, who resided within a few miles of Rose, on standing up to km a quadrille, became suddenly in disposed, and before medical assistance could be procured, the vital spark had fled. The deceased was much be.oved and re- Mcted by a large circle o f acqu a i n t ance .—M onmout h shire Merlin. CAPT. WAKEFIELD.—The late Commander ..‘rtliur Wakefield, R.N., whose lamented fate we recorded last week, was in the 44th year of his age at the time of his death. He was the third son of Edward Wakefield, Esq., of Burnly,m, Essex, the author of the well-known statistical and po itical account of Ireland. Captain Wakefield entered the navy at ten years of age, and first sailed in the Nisus frigate, with Captain Philip Beaver, whose expedition to 13ulama, and other services, are matters of history. He was subsequently present at the taking of Batavia and the Isle of France, and in the land engagements of Bladensburgh and Washiugton, where he served as aides de•camp to Admiral Sir George Cockburn. He was afterwards for some time in command of a brig on the coast of Africa, where he captured several slave ships after obstinate engagements and boarding from boats away from his ship. It thrice occurred to him to jump overboard and save the lives of shipmates at sea. Few officers were better known or more highly considered in the navy than the subject of our remarks. Before his promotion to the rank of commander he vim much sought after as a lieutenant, and was seldom at home many days between leaving a ship !saki off and being appointed to another newly put in commission. He had served in all parts of the world, and left the command of the lihadamanthus steam-frigate, shortly before untiertaking the foundation of the Nelsen settlement in the service of the New Zealand Company. His conciliatory manners and moral worth had made him respected and beloved by all classes at Nelson, and it will be difficult to find a successor to him pos sessed of his energy and ability in the administration of the Company's affairs.—Netv Zealand Gazette. Crisford, the landlord of the Bull Hotel, a man universally respected, committed suicide on Monday, by drowning. near the King's Mill, Newnham.
