The proceedings instituted against the lad by the Mint solicitor took place before the Eton bench of magistrates, by whom he was reminded from time to time, until after the trial of the swindlers at the Old Bailey sessions, When the trial was over, the Mint, in conse quence of the important evidence given by Russell, and r f his expressing his contrition for his past offences, and pro mising to amend his conduct, declined to go on with the prosecution, and he was liberated and sent home to his father at Beaconsfield, in the hope that the narrow escape be had had would prove a warning to him for the future. Shortly afterwards, however, he resumed his connexion with his London thieving asseciates, and he is again in custody-, at Aylesbury gaol, charged with stealing a pony, the property of Mr. Saunders, a builder of London. It appears that Mr. Saunders gave the prisoner a horse to hold while he went into a house to transact some business; and on his return both the horse and the pthoner had vanished. In conse quence of the robbery being advertised in the Police Gazette, the thief was apprehended by Sergeant Cornaby, of the Aylesbury police, riding upon the pony near Beaconsfield. The prisoner, who is not more than 16 years of age, admit ted to the magistrates that he had committed the robbery, and he was fully committed to take his trial for the offence at the ensuing sessions for the county of Bucks. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN JERSEY.—The weather becomes every day. if possible, more unsettled.

THE MAN-WOMAN MYSTERY CLEARPD UP.—A case arising out of the death of the eccentric person who for a considerable time wore the garb of a man, and went by the name of Sir Edward Douglas, but who was, in fact, a female, said to be the natenel daughter of an English noble man, came before the Civil Tribunal of Paris on Wednes day. After this peisen's death, and the absence of all claim s, the officers of the Crown took possession of her furni ture as an escheat. Subsequently, however, a Mr. George Carter came forward, and claimed this furniture as being his in right of his mother, who was the reputed sister of Sir Edward Douglas, alias Miss Digby. In founding his claim, he stated that the two sisters lived together until the death of Mrs. Carter, to whom the furniture belonged, when the surviving sister requested to retain it, allowing Mr. George Carter 100 f. a• year for the use of it. Tile evidence produced by Mr. Carter in support of his claim not being satisfactory to the Crown officers, they rtfused to give it up to him, and thereupon he appealed to the tribunal, which, after consi • Bering what he submitted to it, decreed that he was entitled to the furniture, ordered it to be given up to him, and con demned the Crown to pay all the costs of the suit. EECTORSIIIP OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, EDINBURGH. —We regret to understand that Dr. Carson has resigned the rectorship of our high school. There are feW men who could retire from official life with so large and unqualified a share of public approbation and esteem. Dr. Carson has filled the honourable and responsible office for upwards of twenty-five years, and the singularly able and efficient manner in which he has, during that long period, discharged its various duties, render his retirement now a heavy public loss. The advanced wears of Dr. Carson form, we believe, the reason of the step JURY COURT TAIN.—SUPERSTITION.—A singular and interesting trial took place at Tain on Monday last, showing that superstition is not yet wholly dispelled : William Grant, a fisherman at Porunahomack, conceiving that the w.fe of "Walter Munro, fisherman there, pos sessed the power of witchcraft, and that her supernatural in fluence was directed against himself, went into her husband's house on the 3 t of August last, and with his pocket knife deliberately inflicted a deep gash on her forehead. The pri soner admitted the assault, but stated that he considered himself justified en account of the provocation he had re ceived. The prosecutor refused to accept such a plea, and the case went to trial, when the jury found Grant guilty, and be was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in Dingwall gaol. The declaration made before the sheriff by the prisoner was a very curious and original statement. He attributed the loss of his new nets and the want• of success in the herring fishing, to the woman's " dark dealings in sorcery," and the rest of the crew were not willing to go out with him while he was under the curse of the witch ! In consequence of this, he took the opportunity, on the night in question, to cut her " above the breath," believing that with the first drop of blood brought out by such a process the devil would come out along with it, and that the woman would be deprived of the power of harming bins ! It would seem that a super stitious notion of this sort is prevalent among the Highland people ; but the cut" is generally made by a pin or needle. In the absence of tlo se, the prisoner used his knife, by which there was an effusion of blood for several hours, until the doctor arrived from. 'rain, and also confinement to bed for five weeks. The Sheriff addressed the prisoner at consider able length, in which he dwelt on the recklessness of his con duct in assaulting an old woman who was unable to defend herself; and also exposing the groundless superstition which prompted him to such an act of cruelty. It is to be hoped that time punishment of Grant will have a salutary effect ou the fishermen and villagers, of whom, it is said, a great pro portion enter' ain the same superstitious belief in witchcraft.— , Ross-shire Advertiser. FOOT-RACE.—Yesterday, Martin, of London, and Berry, of Lambeth, decided their match near the King's Arms Inn, at Acton-bottom. Martin has but recently en teted the list of pedestrian, and Berry has been under the tuition of the llegent-s:r• et Pet, and was the favourite in betting at 5 to 4. Martin lel the way at a splitting pace, Berry close up to him. At eighty yards they were cqui distant from the gial, and the capabilities of cacti were fairly te.ted. A despefate struggle took place between them, and which resulted in the men coming in together. A claim w: s made by the frientLs of the respective men, and an appeal was made to the referee, who decided the race to be a "dead of Brighton, and Barnash, of Westminster, for 251. aside.

AlELANctioix AND F A TAL OCCURRENC E. —It with feelings of deep regret that we have to record the occur rence of a most distressing accident, which occasioned th, death of Mr. Colin Dunbar, principal clerk to Provost Ca meron, of Dingwall. Happening to be in Inverness of Saturday, Mr. Dunbar went, accompanied by a friend, to set the steam saw-mills, at the Shore, and having gone into engine-room, he was unfortunately struck by the regulato% He nal upon the large fly-wheel, and was dragged beneath and afterwards thrown upon the floor where he had beet previously standing.

In 1812 he took part in the campaign under the Duke of Wellington, in the Peninsula. FALL of A RETAINING WALL OF THE EDIN• BURGH AND GRANTON AMWAY. —On Thursday morning last, about a hundred and fifty feet of the bulwark or retain ing wall of the Edinburgh and Granton Railway, opposite the VVardie, fell into the sea. It appears that, in consequence of the late heavy rains, a quantity of water had accumulated in an intervening space between the bulwark and ad.;oining embankment, and that this filtering through the earth on the one side of the wall, and the sea beating violently against it on the other, had loosened the foundation and can ied it away. Workmen are again busily employed in repairing the damage.—Edinburgh Witness. COD isu.—Our city was yesterday liberally supplied with cod fish from the Murray. They were of a large size, weighing from fifty to sixty pounds each, and were offered for sale in Hindley-street, at threepence to four pence per pound.

MANCHESTER AND SOITTIIA‘IPTON ALLOTMENT. — The letters of allotment of the shares in this Company were issued on Wednesday, and, as far as we can learn, the distribution in Cheltenham, at least, was a very fair one, and has caused general sati4action. This was to be expected, as well from the character of the general committee, as of the Cheltenham members of that body. The delay whch occurred in the allotment, and which gave rise to such unfavourable surmises in adverse quarters was ac counted for, by the announcement of the Committee accompanying . the allotment, that Mr. Hudson, and his co.directois of the Mid land lines, had joined the direction of the Manchester and South. ampton. This was a master stroke of policy on the part of the Committee, and it had, no doubt, a very favourable influence on the priceof shares, as it afforded an additional guarantee that the whole influence of the Birmingham and Manchester people, as w' as those connected with the narrow gauge Nor, hem lines, w' be thrown into the scale it, favour of this Southern extension Cheltenham to Southampton.— Cheltenh rm THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—The trustees of the British Museum have recently opened one of the large rooms in the new wing erected at the west end of this magnificent building.

A slip taken from it la.t year, and planted in the same garden, now measures 12 feet 13 inches.—Kelso Chronicle. THE IV EATHER.—Since Monday the weather has been dry, and farmers have been enabled to secure a part of their crops. There is still a good deal of oats remaining uncut, and a few weeks more of fine weather is greatly needed. Last night a sharp keen frost set in, which this morning NVAS succeeded by a fall of rain, retarding further harvest operations. The crop tq:on the whole is go , t 1 in this county, with the exception of wheat, of which there are few good samples. Potatoes are most abundant, aid we have heard of no failures.—Ross-shire Advertiser. AND LAN C %SHIRE RAILWAYi YoNKsninti Dividend Amount Name of Company, per of Paid. Prim Annum. Share. d. X S. d.

BALLINASLOE FAIR, OCTOBER B.—The cattle fair YanumncLal to-day, and, as was generally anticipated, it was ittite as good as any that has taken place for some time (not 'xcepting the fair of 1641, which was considered a large and eery good one in comparison with its predecessors for years), thhough the t ttal at the fair and sold was not unusually 'umerous. The stock upon the green was not only an .verage one in number, but prime in quality, and prices were wopartionslly high. The average increase upon the prices thtained la.t October was from 15s. to 1/. on store stock, and from 1 1. to 30s. on fat stock, yet there was such a temand for all classes of cattle, that there was scarcely t prime beast to be had af. er 11 o'clock ; the hurried tie, however, may be in some measure accounted 'tr by an unfortunate change that took place in the wea .!ser. The following list shows some of the sales effected luring the day :—Mr. Robert Irwin's top lot, to Mr. Patrick P Donnell, for 171. 10s.; Mr. Arthur O'Connor's top lot, to .fr.

A similar provision L,5 to the necessity of previous orders and certificates was ontainecl in the late Act, and all parties having received insane patients without the proper orders and certificates, tr having neglected to transmit copies of those documents o the clerk of the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy at he expiration of the first year, and to make thereafter re ;ular medical returns, annually, in the month of January, ."ere declared guilty of a misdemeanour, the power to prose nate far which still exists under the present Act.

Copies , f all existing orders and certificates, not already returned, should be transmitted forthwith." Trig WEATIIER.—GREAT FLOODS.---For several •veeks past the weather has been exceedingly variable ; but during ast week it was tempestuous and rainy beyond the precedent of nany years. From ten o'clock on Thursday night to the same sour the following evening, the rain fell without even a moment's intermission. The streams in this neighbourhood were greatly swollen, the flood in the Water of Leith reaching the first tier of irchlng at Canonmills.bridge, and covering the road which runs from that point parallel with the stream. The Meadows at the ,ast end were laid under water; in some of the low grounds dear Corstorphine, the stooks yet remaining iu the fields were surrounded by water. On Saturday the weather still con timed showery ; but on Sunday it again became fair and sunshiny, and yesterday also was a fine day. From , they quarters the accounts of the weather are simi. ar. On the banks of the river Almond many stooks were "arried away, and several fields of potatoes in pare washed away. Che river Clyde has been in flood since the 28th ult. It reached is height about fliur o'clock on Saturday morning, when it was 'ound to have risen twelve feet above its ordinary level. During the night the river rose over the sheds on the Broomielaw, and ;wept away many articles which it had been found impossible to remove. The baron officer to Lord Douglas, at Netherfoot, on 'he Clyde, lost his whole crop of oats, amounting to about 200 'Cooks. So early as Tuesday last the Forth, at low water, had isen eight feet at Stirling beyond the ordinary level, owing to the Highland flood. On Friday the Tweed and Teviot came down in good, carrying away quantities of corn ; at two o'clock on Saturday corning the Tweed was about its height, the public road by Max eellheugh Mill being under water. The river has not been so iigh since the great flood in 1831. —Edinburgh Advertiser. GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, OCT.

THE ANDOVER UNION.—The new master of the union, Mr. Price, who was appointed on tits recommendation f the Assistant-Commissioner, has been dismissed. At a neetiag of the guardians, held on Saturday, the clerk read a letter from the Poor law Commissioners, in which they stated that they were not aware of the previous conduct and character of Price, or they would not have sanctioned ha recommendation. They admitted that one of their Assistan• - Commissioners, Mr. Austin, was sent down to Oxford son e time ago to inquire into the conduct of the master there, at d that he had forwarded to them an official report, which tilt y sad n-at examined until the present tuna, having understooc , 't the period of Mr. Austin's inquiry, that as soon as it com menced the master resigned, and that therefore the charg s against. him were not investigated, and required no forth r notice. Mr. Assistant-Commissioner Parker had written a similar explanation, saying be had heard that Price lit d resigned because he wished to leave his situation at Oxfon', and not because of any charges brought agai nst bins cor neeted with his conduct in his situation there . The Co.-rliii rnissimiers having. consequently, recommended that P e should he dismissed, the gm.raians agree .1 to a reso. , u t . ton o that effect.

On procuring a light and entering the premises, he was greatly surprised to find that the groaning wa-; caused by a young black bear, evidently not more than nine months old, which had taken up its position in ort , c,f the new middeus. The animal had a collar round its neck, attached to which was a piece of cord. He made it fast in the madden until assistance was procured, aid then it was conVeyed to the nearest bridewell, where it at present re mains Most probably the bear lost by Mr. Punchard, of Basnett-street, is the same which has been found in Leigh street.—Liverpool Albion. MACKEREL.—MOUNTS BA Y.— Sillee our last re-. ror .ort the driving boats have succeeded in bringing ashore c .nsiderable quantities of fine mackerel —some 6,000, and others varying down to 500, which have been eagerly pur chased at from Bs. 6d. to 14s. per 120. Some of the boats have had the misfortunce to injure their nets, and one boat lost hers on the Wool Rock, but subsequently re covered them. We understand that the shipping have lately damaged the drift nets to a considerable extent. SENNEN.— On Sunday last two seins belonging to Messrs. Trenibath and Co. were shot, and enclosed about twenty hogsheads of pilchards, and several thousand full size bream. ST. Ives.— The drift-net boats have been pretty successful in the mackerel fishery, which fish have met a ready deinand at from 10s. to 12s. per 120. Oa Friday night these hard ' working men had the misfortune to lose no fewer than sixty mlckerel nets, in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather. There has been nothing done by the seins, but pi!chards are reported to have been seen on the coast. Falmouth Pocket, _ SUIPWRECKS.—Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'c'ock, two schooners and a small sloop were Seta rounding the Girdleness and making for the harbour. The spa was running high at the time; and a smart gale blowing from the south-east, with heavy rain. One of the schooners, which turned out to be the Commodore, of this port, took the harbour in good style, and got safe into part. The other schooner was not so fortunate. By means of something going wrong about the wheel, she veered considerably to the north, and, irstead of making the harbour, struck the pier-head. The prompti tude of the captain, however, saved her from being dashed to pieces, as, seeing the coming danger, before another sea struck the vessel, he had her head turned round to the north, but such was the strength of the sea and wind to gether, that he was not able to make out to sea, but was driven ashore at the back of the North Pier. The s!oop was still 'more unfortunate, she came against the North Pier-head with a tremendous crash, and had her broadside staved in. The hands were got off immediately, and most fortunate for them, for the next sea drove her to the north side of the pier, where she lies a total wreck. The sloop is the George and Mary, dorrint, of and from Jersey, with apples for this port, and the schooner is the Lo g l e o' Buchan, Crombie, of and for Newburgh from New castle with coals. We regret to state that the sloop on coining round the Girdleness, was struck by a heavy sea, which washed overboard a boy about thirteen years of age. The whole of the crew of the schooner was saved. We regret to record another shipwreck , but fortunate l y at tended by the loss of no lives, which also tot k place yester day morning, about three miles to the north of Don Mouth, at a place called the black Dog. The Prussian vessel. Aurora, Ahrens, from Dantzic to Aberdeen, with timber, came into the bay on Wednesday evening, when a pilot went on board, but the tide being too far back, she was to lie in the bay till morning, the pilot remaining en board. When the gale rose, however, she was driven to the north, and her rigging giving way, was driven ashore at the place we have mentioned. She is expected to be got ol—Aberdeen Banner. _ OREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—The Dutch steam ship Batavier brought sixty-two oxen and cows and ninty-nine sheepjour hampers of poultry, fifteen baskets of walnuts, a large quantity of seeds, and a variety of every other description of Dutch produce, with the excep tion y of ripe fruit, of which article she did not bring an this voyage. The General Steam Navigation•Company c e steam ship Venezuela, also from Rotterdam, Li-ought 411 sheep, twelve cows, two oxen, thirty package.s of yeast, two packages of poultry, a large quantity of fish, butter, - -pickles, roots, and an extensive variety of articles, the pro duction of Holland. This ship did not efther bring the least quantity of fruit of any description, which wouldimply that the importation of the a rticle from that country has entirely discontinued for the season. The quantities which have been brought every week throughout the sum mer from that country, and that at an early period of the arrival of the season ter each separate kind, have b een o f a mos t extensive nature , a n d certainly beyond all precedent consisting principally ci b p r a o ll u y gh o t f forty seven The Company's steam -ship Rainbow, from llavre, brought . 117 packages of fruit, including walnuts, pears, &C. Th l o . ' t i ' v p er o p ti o lt o r l y , , . fr eo o n n s l i packagesEai l of which Belgium at this season of the year abounds ; rabbits, large quantity of eggs, butter, &c. And the B a very steam ship Antwerpen, from Antwerp, brought ninetye Belgian eighty-seven baskets of walnuts, thirtypackages ags and and a small quantity of a novel • ()f pears, article of importation ' viz., four baskets of smelts. The c a ttl e by th e V en ez u ela were landed at the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwell ; and those by the Batavier, as well as the whole of the provisions by that and the other vessels, at the St. Katharine's Wharf,' from which they were as usual examined and delivered to their several destination with the least possible delay. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. RAMSDOTTOM, —lt was fully expected by the masonic . brethren that the late Mr. Ramsbottom (from the high posion which hhe held in the craft, having been f or a great number of years Prc vincial Grand Master for the county of Berks) would be buried with masonic honours. We understand, however, that the funeral, ag reeabl y to the wishes expressed by the deceased, a short time before he breathed his last, will be strictly private. The remains of the lateMr.Ramsbottona w ill be deposited b y the side of th o se of his wife, whom he surv i ve d u pwards of twenty years, , in the family vault in the churchyard of Old Windsor. Ihe deceased, who was the sen i o r t r ustee to th e Ro y al M a rine I n stitution for Clothin g and Educating the Sons of Indigent Freemasons, ever took a warm and active interest in all matters of a charitable and benevolent nature connected with the masonic fraternity. Th e funeral will take place this day. PHEASANT SHOOTiNG.—Very favourable accounts are given of the plentifulness of young birds. The season has been very favourable for rearing then), the spring being excee dingly dry. Young birds are particularly strong os the wing, are very plump in condition, and the young cock pheasants have attain d their plumage.—Hani . pshire Acker.. tiser. The following is a copy of a tailor's bill in 1616 : _" For making a suit of clothes, 4s. ; for making a cloak, F.6d.; for making a morning gown, Is. Bd.; for making a black gown. Is. 6d." THE LAST DAT PROPHETS.—Messrs Dealtry and Burgess, the parties whose preaching have recenny created considerable se!isatiyu in these towns and the neigl.- bourhood, and according to whose interprettition of prophecy, yesterday (Friday) was to be Vie day for the second appea:- ance of Christ, left by the coach for T veto n, it was under stood, on Thursday. About sixty persons were baptised ty these fanatics at Deadmati's-hay on Wednesday.--ilymouth Times. PETTY SESSIONS.-13y a return just issued it ap pears that in England and Wales there areas many as 357 petty sessions held la inns and public-houses. The places are ge nerally wretchely inconvenient for the administration f public justice. For a great many no rent is paid, as as custom brought to the house is considered sufficient. In Wales, however, the magistrates pay a few shillings, or diuo on the occasion. ~,. •- - ~~'_. ‘, ED=
