The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet.. 2,009 bale, without any change of prices. The Scotch Exchange was closed. The commercial letters received this morning by the mer chants connected with the East India and China trade are of a satisfactory character. The demand far British manufac tures is on the increase, and it is satisfactory to find that the Chinese are gradually becoming purchasers of British fabric's. It appears, by accounts received from Canterbury, that a most influential meeting was held there on Monday last, at which Sir I. L. Goldsmid was present, for the purpose of taking the most active steps to obtain the assent of Parlia ment to a projwt started lest year for railway communica te u between London and Dover direct through Canterbury, &c. It was unanimously resolved that the direct line, as surveyed by Mr. ViF,molles, was most adapted to suit the in terests of the districts to pass through, and resolutions in support of the North Kent line were cordially adopted. It will be observed by an advertisement in another column of the Sun, that much interest is taken in the establishment of a Central Cornwall and Devon line of railway. Many years ago, a company was formed to carry out in part this important object, and a considerable sum of money was spent in making the necessary surveys. Circumstances, how ever, occurred which retarded the intentions of the original company, but, which, under the auspices of the newly in tended 11e, will no doubt be carried into speedy operation. The English investments have been without alteration. Consols are 98% % for Money, and 98% % for the Account. Exchequer-bil:s are 475. to 495. premium. South Sea Stock has been done at 111. The Foreign investments have been very dull. Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 58 to %. Spanish Three per Cents. have been marked 381. Brazil Stack has been quoted 88 for the New. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are marked 100 1 ,t . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. rea lise 59% to C 0.% Shares generally have maintained about the previous quo tations, but we notice a decline in Croydon, South-Eastern, Brighton, and one or two others.

The first general meeting of the shareholders of this rail _ way was held this afternoon at the offices of Mr. Benham, the solicitor to the Company, iu Austi n -f r i ars, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the Directors upon the pros _ 124 , perity of the undertaking. The chair was taken at three o'clock by Andrew Spottis _ woode, Esq., and the usual formalities having been gone through, the report was read by the Secretary, from which it appeared that the line had been obtained for 37 years awl 316 days ; that the road now pos sessed by the Company left the Great Trunk Line at Fampoux or suburb of Arras, and passing near Lens, Aleryille, and through Bethune, terminated at Hazebrouck, the whole dis - tance being 54 kilometres; at this place the branch line of the Great T run k L ine f rom Calais and Dunkirk meet the line belonging to the Company, which would afford a - shorter road to the metropolis then. by Lille and Douai. The present line ranked riot- only among.t he richest, but the most compact lines of France. From th e eng i neer ' s report it slionfe any b ri e e o a n rly ea o r n ef e ol n ly iil s l ur ion ve o ;o f f d ra , n a c n a d b t e l l i o o l r v e t l li v e er c e a n p o it would appear that th e es ti mate of the expenditure was a d l iflic r u n h e ie 4 importance to overcome. The prospects of the Company would be considerably brightened when the projected North Kent Railroad was opened, as t rave ll ers would then, in all probabi lity, go from Dover to Calais, and onwards by the Fampoux line. Until the opening of the line, interest at the rate of four per cent. would be paid on the paid-up capital. The CHAIRMAN said, at the conclusion of the reading of the report, that it was totally unnecessary for him to say a , word on the affair s o f th e C ompany, as the report was so ex plicit on that subject. Captain Chamier, who had just arrived from Paris, was present, and would be happy to answer the questions of any Proprieto rs .- Captain :CRASHER was happy to i n f orm th e Sh areholders -- - that they were e ngage d w i th the most respectable Committee in France. It wa s generally thought when they came in contest with the Rothschilds that they would lose their line, but the high character of the gentlemen forming their Com - mittee saved it. He could assure the Shareholders that they would form a most erroneous notion of the value of their shares if they looked to the quotations in the London news papers, in all of which they were quoted at different prices, and in same as low as fifteen or sixteen francs; - the real fact was, they were at 33 and 36 francs.— (Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in saving that the line would pay at least 6 per cent. ; and the engineer had reported to him that if the winter should turn out to be a mild one, it would be completed in a year; added to this, the Minister of - Public Works had promised hint that the line should be - placed on the same footing as the Great Northern. The superiority f this line was great over many others, and its merits only want e d to b e more known to ensure its being not only a successful, but excellent enterprise. Several qu: stions having been put by different Proprietors hami ' • 316 to Captain (ier, and satisfactorily answered, thanks were voted to the Chairman and the Gallant Catain, and the meeting separat e d. p THE HARVEST ---THE WEATHER. OXFORD, SEPT. 20.—The harvest is nearly over in this neighbourhood, and the corn generally has been stored in -- - pretty good conditi on; and luckily it is so, for the weather since Saturday l as t h as b een very unfavourable, heavy rains having fallen, with little intervals of sunshine. This has proved a great c h ec k to the getting in the beans, and the remainder of the oats. The clover has been got up in capital order, and being beyond an average crop, will add very con - siderably to the stock of hay; and the fodder and grass being _ plentiful, there will be plenty of hay next winter to supply the markets. The wheat crop is quite an average one, though the corn-dealers say the sample will not be so fine, or the 4 quality so good as last year, when the yield was most ex. cellent. The ba r l ey crop has far exceeded that of several years past, and is allowed on all hands to be far above the average. The same may, i n many districts, be said of oats; they are well up in quantity, and the quality will be good. Beans and Peas are also plentiful. Turnips are very plentiful, but if the wet weather continue, great fears will be entertained for the preservation of them, _ many farmers being fearful that they shall be unable to keep them from getting mouldy. Mangel-wurzel, of which large quantities are grown in this county, looks remarkably strong and healthy, and is not in the least affected. Carrots, of which also large quantities are grown, have not at present been touched with the disease which, we are sorry to say, is scr prevalent and destructive to the potato : crops. Many fields of potatoes that were but slightly touched a week or two ago are now scarce worth the trouble of digging up. In several cases where they have been taken up it has been feund that those which were healthy at first have become diseased after they have been out of the ground - a few days, and although carefully picked apart at first, an other loss has taken place on looking over them again.- - Corn Market: old wheat fitched to-day from 141. to 141., with plenty of buyers; new, from 111. to 121. 10s. ; barley, 235. to 345. ; oats were at least 2s. per quarter higher; beans - sold at 12/. and 13/. ; peas varied from 9/. to 11/. The wheat - trade, owing to the presence of several speculators from the - metropolitan and other counties, was unusually brisk; no sooner was a sample shown than it was eagerly purchased. The millers and bakers in consequence of the rise in wheat clapped 3s. per sack on flour, so that there is every prospect of • the loaf being still much dearer. STIRLINGSHIRE.—We have had another week of good har vest weather, making now twenty-three days, all of which have been pod working-days, with the exception of Saturday last, which was mostly wet throughout, and therefore no : thing was done in th - e fields. The present will be a bread • year, come of the potatoes what will; it will also be a turnip • year, which will produce beef and mutton; and these with bread in galore, whether wheaten, oaten, or barley, make • capital cheer. Rain began to fall again yesterday at mid : day, and continued very constant and heavy till six o'clock • in the evening, and is still threatening—Stirling Observer. AYILSHIRE.—The weather, which has for some time past ' been everything the husbandman could desire, broke on Saturday last, and since then we have had frequent showers, some of them pretty heavy, though not of long continuance. We still receive from our correspondents throughout the county accounts of the further spread of the potato blight, and likewise of the general progress of harvest operations. We understand that Professor Johnson has been in Ayrshire, endeavouring to trace the course and extent of this distress ing occurrence, and of course his report will be a nx i ous l y looked for.—Ayr Advertiser. A correspondent, who is a practical agriculturist of consi derable skill and experience, has taken exception to a re mark made by us last week. He says that for one farmer who has been dilatory i n getting hi his wheat, there are twenty who have been in much too great a hurry about that important operation—that the consequence is that a large quantity of wheat has been get together in a premature state, whereby loss in quantity and inferiority in quality will be ex perienced at threshing time—and lie furth er informs us that the advice which has been given to farmers at agricultural fi meetings, arid by writers in agricultural publications, namely, to commence reaping before the wheat crop is fully ripe, is erroneous and mischievous. We are sorry, also, to be in formed from the same authority that our anticipations of the result of the present year's produce have bee n expressed too favourably—the ears of corn are, he states, to a great extent very defective, and will by no means realise • the promi se which they hold forth to the e 3; of_ a superficial examiner. Thewide spread and serious, and The injury to the potato crop likewise , Spoken of as it is a'so stated tnat unmistakeable indications of a kindred disease, no doubt produced by .mois ture and a low temperature, are exhibitingbiting &c., l e i thez a n ea other root crops. Swedes,nng bundae I carro ts,a ace, and of ext gave fine quality, are now promise of wholly unpar alleled taied to show : symptoins of rot, and it is feared that they will be much deteriorated as food 11 The inference from all this for stock, and will not store . necessities of life, for man and beast, is, that rices of the higher than was anti timing tie ensuing put will be muc h tipated. All this is opposed to the ieforination which had eravi msly reacted us. We lay this, our "latest intelligence from the rural districts," before our readers, with the earnest hope that Way be less true than we fear it to be.'--GlOucester Journal. ULVERSTON, SEPT. 18.—Since last Saturday evening we have had very broken weather, rain every eight or twelve hours, but neatly during the night except yesterday. liar • vest operatlins have gone on with little interruption. To (lay hursday) the sample loads put down in our market exceeded those of the past three weeks; there were about 61 of wheat, and of ea's 'about 37. Millers and dealers came for ward freely on opening the sample loads of wheat, yet the gelling :was rather tedious, particularly where the sample proved less desirable. Selling prices 6(1. to la. less than laid week, arising more from the number than the demand, which was good, and all were sold. For oats a disposition to make early purchases appeared general, and the attendance of mil lers and dealers appeared more numerous than on previous weeks.—Kendal Mercury. The corn . cropi are nearly won on the banks of the Tees. From the banks of the Coquet we have received the following brief report ; -1." The weather has now become beautiful, and The fields of grain are fist coming to the sickle. Little wheat, however, is vet cut, except in Bamburghshire and aping the coast. Where the crops have been long lodged, the deficiency of yield and inferior quality of sample will be found great. Reapers are plentiful, and obtain Is. 6d. per day, with vic tuals." Since this was written we have had heavy rains.— Gateshead Observer. CITAILMOUTIL—In this and the neighbouring parishes the different sorts of grain have generally been securely housed. They field of wheat is, in almost every instance, much less than it was last year, and the sample very inferior. Parley is most abundant. The potato crop is a sad affair, as there is scarcely a field that has not been attacked by the distemper so prevalent throughout the land.—Somerret County Gazette. A change has occurre.l in the weather in the neighbour hood, and we presume that it pervades the whole c o un t ry , calculated to excite serious apprehensions respecting that portion of the wheat and barley and potato crops which re main in.the fields. During the last three or four days rain has fallen to the depth of nearly an inch and a half. Yes terday the rain hardly ceased throughout the day; and we regret to say that there is no immediate prospect of a return of dry weather. The temperature has, however, fallen barely a degree. In the south and west of England, little grain re mains abroad, but in the more backward parts of the country the sickle has hardly be - n called into activity. Thus the weather is still an object of solicitude, not only as regards wheat, but especially' with reference to the potato crop. A continuance uf rain would rapidly extend the disease which has destroyed or rendered unsaleab:e so many of these escu lents —Bath Gazette. For the last eight days the weather has been unsettled. We stated in our last that a weather prophet of reputation, at present resident in Jersrv, had predicted a winter of severe storm and tempest. His prediction, uttered as it was before the storm of the last few 'days had as yet shown any indica tion of its coming, seems destined to be realised, and so far as physical appearances would seem to foreshadow, the storm which has now begun will continue some time before we wit ness its departure. It has been frequently observed that should gales supervene about the period of the equinoxes, considerable reliance may be placed upon the probability of a piotracted course of boisterous weather, and farmers amt others acquainted with this fact always conduct their opera tions , with a prudent feresight. We understand that the western districts of England during the lagt eight days have been visited with weather equally boisterous with that which we have ourselves experienced ; but that in themore noiehern quarters of the empire scarcely a drop of rain has fallen within the last three weeks. In this we recognise a benevolent dis pensation of Providence, for the harvest being always later in that district of the country, opportunity is thus afforded to the tillers of the soil to gather in their produce.—Jeasey Times. Harvest operations have been in a great measure sus pended this week, owing to the inclement state of the wea ther. Monday and Tuesday were dull, raw, and unfavour able days, and on Wednesday rain fell in torrents, render ing out-door labour cut of the question. A considerable quantity of rain also fell on Thursday morning, and the at mosphere was very chilly during the day. Yesterday, how ever, we are happy to say a change for the better took place—the sun shining from its rising till its setting, in a beautiful . blue sky.. Repor:s from all parts of the country as to the state. of the crops are of the most cheering descrip tion. A sheet continuance of warmth and sunshine, which we hope for, will insure more than an average harvest.— Scotch Reformer's Gazette. We are sorry we cannot say the present week has been a favourable one for harvest operations. Monday and ' Tuesday were - tolerably favourable days 1. , r out-door work, but on both Wednesday and 'Thursday, and particularly during the nights of both these days, the rain fell in tor rents. Friday was a splendid day in every respect, and such was the. strength of the sun and wind during the fore noon, that in several cases the farmers commenced " lead ing in" by the after part of the day. Everywhere the fields present a splendid appearance. They are thickly studded with stooks, and many parks are to-day crowded with busy reapers. On the whole, we should say, there is as near as may be one-third of the crop yet to cut. Glasgow Post. • lip to Wednesday evening the weather has been every,. thing that the farmer could wish —warm, bright, and breezy, and harvest operations were going rapidly on. The fields were covered wi h numerous bands of reapers, before •whom the golden grain was quickly filling, and as rapidly rising again in the large and thickly planted stooks. On. Wednes day, however, the atmosphere became overcast, and in the course of the evening rain began to fall, and continued with little intermission throughout the night and during yester day. This will retard the ingathering of the crop for some days •, but, with a few weeks more of fair weather, the whole will be secured in good condition. - We regret to learn that a disease of a peculiar description is very p reva l en t i n the potato crop through ou t the country, and that it has made its appearance in several fields in this district. The disease is quite inexplicable. A fine field of bear was cut lest week at Achriaehan, in the neighbourhood of Tomantoul, one of the highest districts of Banffshire. We are sorry_ to learn that in many of the higher glens and straths a pretty severe frost was experienced on the nights of Wednesdayand Thurs day last week. In many places, particularly in low marshy situations, the potatoes have been very much injured, the steins being completely withered down. In these places some partial injury has been done to the grain crop, but the injury has been limited to small localities. —Elgin Courant. LONDON, T .

DUBLIN, SErr. 20.—For fifteen years past there has not been such a variety of qualities in wheat as that of the pre sent harvest.. Judging by the samples we have seen, and the accounts that have reached us, a considerable portion of that crop must be very good . ; but it is equally certain that a large pro[ortion is middling or inferior. We shall soon behold the singular spectacle of a high price for wheat in our own mar ket, and a high duty upon the admission of foreign wheat. The general averages regulating the duty will be kept down by the quantity of damaged and inferior wheat thiown upon the market—the duty will, consequently, advance to the maximum rate, while British and Irish wheat of good qua lity must command a high price. At our Corn Exchange yes terday, there was an advance in the price of wheat, and prime qualities are likely to advance still further. The wheat crop, according to the most careful calculations, will be under an aver age, and but for the providential change in the wea ther towards the close of last month, it is now manifest that the failure would be disastrous. The Dublin illercantile Advertiser says :—" Respecting oats, all our reports are favourable. The crop is described as very good in quality, and likely to yield conaiderably more than an average. There can be no doubt that the disease in potatoes is producing very destruc tive effects in Europe as well as in America. But we rejoice to find that its ravages are comparatively limited and partial in Ireland. We have sought informarion from the best sources, and have arrived at the conclusion, that although in some inst ances th ere w ill b e considerable loss, the potato crop, taken altogether, is likely to be abundant and excellent in quality." BALLYSIIANNON, SEPT. 19.—We have made inquiry into the cute of the potato crop throughout this county, and we are happy to be enabled to state that very little injury has been sustained from .the disease so prevalent in other counties. OMAGII, SEPT. 19.—Bound-by Dungannon, and indeed in every part of the county, the wheat, oats, and barley crops are unusually productive, but the potatoes certainly will not be as abundant as we anticipated, though in very many parts the crop is far over an average one. ManvnonouGu, SEPT. 20.—The operations of cutting and saving have been renewed with increased vigour; but large tracts of wheat'are still uncut, and much of the oat crop is still unripe, ENNISKILLEN, SEPT. 18.— There has been no season for many years past that promises so highly for the farmer as the present. Every crop is crowned with abundance, save only the potato, which, we are sorry to say, has been injured by rot; but, from everything we can read, by no means so in jurious as appearances in other parts, both at home and abroad, indicate.—Enniskillen Chronicle. ENNIS, SEPT. 18.—We have made minute inquiries into the state of the crops in Clare, and, although in the wornout soil, under potatoes, there may be some failures, as far as can be at present collected, there is fully an average crop ex pected. Until the full time for digging the general crop, in the latter end of the next month, a close estimate cannot be formed; but where the new or good ground has been tried, the potato is both productive and good. The wheat crop has some partial blight, and it may be estimated by a reduction of somewhat less than one-fifth. Referring next to oats, the crop is as abundant as any of the last six years. We have conversed with a gentleman who has gone over nearly one hundred miles of the county, and he states that the crop is as fine as ever witnessed.—Clare Joui CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST ONE OF PRINCE ALBERT'S GAMEKEEPERS. TOWN -HALL, MAIDENHEAD, TUESDAY, SEPT. 23.—Very considerable excitement has existed for some weeks past, in and round Maidenhead, in consequence of a gamekeeper, named Thomas Topp, in the service of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, having set a ferocious dog (stated to be a blood-hound) at a poor woman, named Wells, the wife of a labouring man, residing in the parish o f B ray, for having gathered wood in that part of Windsor Forest in which are the preserves of the Prince Consort. The defendant was summoned to appear before the Magistrates to answer the charge on Tuesday, the 9th instant; but the hearing of the case was then postponed till to• day, in consequence of the woman, from the injuries she had received, being unable to attend. The sitting magistrates for the Maidenhead division of the county of Berks were Charles Sawyer, Esq. (in the chair), and John Hercy, Esq.; Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, was retained on the part of the defendant. Upon the case being called on, all the witnesses were or dered out of Cour. The information of Maria Wells, upon which the summons was granted, averred that Thomas Topp, gamekeeper, of Standing-hill Lodge, in the parish of Winkfield, unlawfully assaulted her the 23d of last August, by setting a dog at her. The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge,. by the ad vice of his counsel. Maria Wells, a decent-looking woman, about thirty years of age, upon being sworn, deposed as follows :—On the 23d of last month I was in that part of the forest which is in the pariah of Bray, with Mary Lee and Ann Lambeth. We were picking up dry wood to light the fire with. Topp came up to where we were, and took the wood we had collected from us, with our cords and sacks, and told us we had no business there: He set the dog he had with him, fi rs t on Mary Lao and then on me. I begged and prayed for my life, because of the situation I was in. —(The witness was fir advanced in pregnancy.) I told him of my situation. I said to him, "If you want to take my life away, take your gun and shoot me at once." He dogged me until I was all in a per,piration. I mean by this that he took hold of my clothes and slur them, and then set the dog upon me. l That iS what I mean by his dogging me. The - deg - had laid I hold of my clothes, I fainted away, and he dogged me as long as the dog would. When I got home I fainted away' three times.wa§ =tined to my bed f or a fortnight. CT1284 3 %1 3 :~~ - ~ j - _ _ „0,- ; :, CONVERSIONS TO ROMANISM. The secession of Mr. Capes, a clergyman of Bridgwater, from the Protestant to the Romish Church, occurred a month or two ago, and excited considerable attention, especially as he had but recently exhibited his zeal for the English Estab lishment by erecting and endowing a 'magnificent chapel• of. ease, of which he was the popular minister. Last week wet copied an account from a provincial Contemporary, to th , e effect that a highly. respectable inhabitant of Bridgwater (x. Mr. Poole), with his three sisters, had followed the example of Mr. Capes, and were become duly recognished members of the Church of Rome. We looked upon this as an unfortu nate but not unnatural sequence to the defection of an erring shepherd, some of who e flock would be very likely to be affected by his altered views. But the communication of a correspondent informs us, that with respect at least to the sisters of Mr. Poole, this inference is not sustained, in asmuch as they have been for a year and a half past resident at Ilfracombe, and consequently far removed from the ministry of Mr. Capes. But that is not all; while sojourning at Ilfracombe they have been in mates cf the family of the curate of the parish, the Rev. Spencer Northcote, who is a near relative (a brother in-law), and who happens to be deeply tinctured with the' views of the Pusey and Newman school, a sufficient proof of which will be accepted in the fact that Le went purposely to Oxford on the occasion of the late degradation of the author of the "Ideal Church," to give his suppoat to Mr. 'S\ ard,whose subseq uen t convers i on to Popery- is ao tori us. We have learnt als , , that during the recent stay of Dr. Pusey at Ilfracombe (in whose congenial soil, by Hie invitation of the vicar and with the sanction of the bishop, the doctor has been suffered, both last year and this, to exer cise his ministry, from which lie was interdicted by the high authorities of Oxfiird, as a punishment for . his heresy), among his most favoured and intimate associates were Mr- Northcote and his sisters-in-law. These circumstances, aitt well as the questionable character of Mr. Northcote's preach-- ing, and the partiality and intention he has shown to indi vidual members of the Roman Catholic communion, have induced very painful apprehensions in the minds of many of the truly Protestant members of the Church at Ilfra, mac, who consider that the vicar is bound to ascertain . the fidelity of his curate, and to protect the congregation from the insidious effects of a semi-Romish ministry, of whose pernicious tendency the secession of the 'Misses Poole is an admonitory instance. Such, at least, is the opi nion of the esteemed correspondent who writes us. But knowing the leaning of the vicar, which has been too pad. pable for 3-ears past to admit of question, we confess we: wonder that the slightest expectation should be entertained of his interposition to correct •an evil to which his own example has given the greatest possible encouragement. We would recommend the Protestant portion of the congregation at Ilfracombe to appeal at once t o the Bishop ; and i f lie be not more tolerant of Romanism than he is of the mildest form of Protestant Dissent, they will not appeal to him in vain. A case precisely in point occurred not long ago in the west of Cornwall. A clergyman of established character, whose Protestantism and piety were alike above suspicion, was reported of to the Bishop that he permitted, or did not pre vent, a member of his family going occasionally to a Wesleyan chapel ; and so was his Lordship moved with indignation at such an act of infidelity to the Church, that although he had just before been himself coquetting with the Wesley-ens, and inviting them to return to the bosom of the Establishment, lie at once and peremptorily withdrew the clergyman's license, and he was compelled to quit the diocese. In vain did he plead the right of private judgment to his family, and inability to restrain his children ; the Bishop met him with a quo tation from Timothy—" If a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church ;" and the clergyman • was silenced. If so severe a penalty were the just demerit of a minister, Hmself unsuspected, who merely allowed his wife r daughter (still remaining members and regular attendants at the church) to make a casual visit to the Wesleyans—a body which had so little departed from the Establishment in doctrine that the Bishcp could-see no diffi culty whatever in the way of its return to the unity of the Church; what less than deprivation and degradation can be the punishment of him whose adherence to the Protestant faith is doubtful, and who has been so far unable (if even desirous) to keep his family within the pale of the Church, that not less than three of the inmates of his house have gone over, en masse, not to a Protestant Dissenting sect, but to a corrupt establishment from which it was the boa-4 of the English Church that she was reformed, and which the Bishop formerly delighted to stigmatise as superstitious and idola trous? We shall be curious to hear the result of his Lord ship's acquaintance with this fact, and to see by what ca suistry he will elude the exercise of discipline to which former precedent and profession alike blind him.—North Devon Journal. 131 32 ~ i 1 - • 18% IS% I —83 s -21 M - "1I 43 43 8 3 - 3 s l= 16386 d 76461 Vs 66s - 1- 173 23%1 - GNI 78a I 55s pi 20e p - f 60 -7 ( ( ll' 4. ..... 0 1 1 3 , 6 il .. . ~r al ' .. k .

I had been told once not to take the wood. When the keeper came up I dropped the wood, and so did the other women. We were resting when the keeper came up, and he took it from us. 'We went off quickly, and then he put the dog upon us. The 23(1 was on a Saturday. On the following Monday I went to Topp's house to get his name, as he was a stranger to me. I never told him if he gave me a sovereign I would say nothing about it. On the following Saturday I wenf to a chemist's a t Wi n d sor i n a cart. I kept my hed for a fort night fram the Ist of September. 1 told Topp, when he set the dog on me, I was in the family way. I did not know Mr. Pearl, of Windsor, until a gentleman of that name called on me. He wanted to examine me, to ascertain if I was in the family way. He put his hands outside the clothes. I have not had a miscarriage, as I was too far gone. I firmly believe the child is now dead. I am between seven and eight months gone with child. The dog which Topp set upon me was a good-sized dog. I was confined to my bed for a fortnight, and attended during that time by Mr. Westell. My husband was here this day fortnight ; I was unable to come. The young man, Topp, called upon me, and came into my bedroom and asked me not to go on again: t him. My husband came before the magistrates this day fortnight to say that if the defendant would pay all the ex penses, and for my support while on a sick bed, I had no ob ection to proceed no further. Mr. Williams rose, and said that as the attack made by thr dog was purely accidental, the affair could now be ar rauzeed, with the permission of the magistrates, and he truited they would permit it to be compromised. If Mr. Westell's.bill for medicine and attendance was not exorbitant, he (Mr. Williams) would agree, on th e p ar t o f the young man, to pay it. There was no animus on the part of his client; therefore we will not atone for a wrong which we utterly deny. Mr. Sawyer—My opinion is, that the case having gone so far, must be proceeded with. Mr. Hercy—lt was a very awkward action on the part of the defendant. He goes and shakes the woman's pectic. at, and thus sets on the dog, and therefore it cannot be called an accidental occurrence,' Mr. Williams asked if the Bench would allow the woman to retire and speak to the defendant? It was a mode (far ranging similar cases. allowed to be adopted frequently by magistrates in London. Mr. Sawyer—The case has gone too far for that. Mary Lee, a witness called by the complainant, was then sworn. She said—l was in the forest on the 23d of August, picking up a little bit of dry wood for firing, with Mrs. IVelle. It was in the woodland, in the open forest. Topp came up and said we had no business there; and told us to empty out our wood. While we were emptying out, he set the dog on me, and then on Mr s . W e ll s , w h o b egge d and prayed for her life, as she was then in the family way. Topp then cast his eye down upon her, and said, "It's a lie; she is no more so than I am ; and if I was sure she was not so, I would serve her worse." After Mrs. Wells told him she was in the family way, he took his handkerchief off his neck and tied it round the dog's, and set the dog on me until I got out of the forest. Cress-examined by Mr. Williams—l heard Mrs. Wells say to Topp, "If you want to take away my life, in my present situation, you had better take your gun and shoot me at once." Topp shook Mrs. Wells's petticoats as high as he could shake them when he set the dog at her. We begged and prayed of him to leave us alone. I was never told by T opp, or anybody e l se , no t t o p i c k up woo d i n the forest. By Mr. Hercy—l thought Topp's motive for putting his handkerchief round the dog's neck was to prevent its biting Mrs. Wells any more. Mr. Williams address e 4 the Bench for the defendant. He trusted justice would be 21 lie, no matter how high the rank of his master. He considered that it was a plot and a con spiracy got up against his client, for it was impossible to be lieve that both the witnesses had told the truth. He was surprised at the absence of Mr. Westell, who had attended Mrs. Wells, for lie could have proved if she were enceinte. Mr. Pearl, surgeon, of Windsor, who had been called in as an arbitrator, would give his evidence on this point. In guard ing agsinst oppression from the great, we should also equally guard against extortion froM the weak. The affair was a fabulous piece of business altogether. The woman went to the defendant, and told him that for a sovereign she would settle the business. This, however, lie (Mr. Williams) could not prove, because his client could not be sworn. The Bench is called upon either to dismiss the case, or inflict the lowest fine the law allows. Mrs. Wells here informed the magistrate that she was firmly of opinion that the child was dead. (The woman ap ' peared to be enduring great pain.) Mr. Williams said he should now call Mr. Pearl. As Mr. -Westell was not present, he (Mr. Williams) had no doubt that he was afraid to submit himself to a cross-examina tion He (Mr. "Williams) would contend it was a lucre accidental rencontre; and as to an assault, none had been proved in law. Mr. Geoffrey Pearl, surgeon, Windsor, was then sworn, and stated as follows from a written paper he held in his band. I saw Mrs. Wells on the 13th of this month, at her own house. I was requested to see her by Mr. Turner (Prince Albert's head-keeper.) She told me she was seven months gone with child. I asked ber to allow me to put my hand upon her body. There did not appear to be any child; or nut one so large as if she bad gone six or seven months. 1 asked her if she had miscarried, and she said she had nor, but that after she had been attacked by the dog she had ex , perienced symptoms of miscarriage. It was my opinion there were no symptoms of the kind. She said she thought her Milos was brought on by the fright. Ido not think she is seven months gone. I should think, by the appearance of her face, she could not have had the floodings she cons plained of. Her face was not blanched. Mr. Peartadded, in reply to a question from the complainant, " I examined you by passing my hand round your body." Mrs. Wells—You came to me in a very improper and un gentlemanly manner while I was in bed. I never allowed him, gentlemen (addressing the Bench), to examine me. Mr. Pearl—lf there had been a child, I must have dis covered it. This being the whole of the evidence, Mr. Sawyer said, in this case an assault had most un doubtedly been committed. That Topp was there, and had set the dog on the woman, was very clear. It was the duty cf a servant to protect the property of his master in a hgi tfmate manner; but Topp bad not so protected his master's property, but in a most illegal man ner , not to b e justified. If the woman were in the family way she is liable to serious injury. The assault, in his opinion, was proved. Mr. Huey agreed in the opinion expressed by his brother mag:strate, that the assault had been committed by the de fendant's setting the dog on to the complainant. He consi dered it totally out of the question to believe for on 3 moment that the affair was accidental. Mr. Sawyer, in giving judgment, observed that he should view the offence of which the defendant was guilty in the same light in which, he trusted, it would be viewed by Prince Albert, the defendant being in the service of his Royal High ness. He should therefore adjudge that the defendant be fined 2/., and that he pay the costs. The fine and costs, amounting together to 2/. 10s. 6d., were paid by the father of the defendant. The proceedings, which occupied a considerable time, created great interest to a crowded auditory. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS. At the Court of Bankruptcy, Basingball-street. T. F.

WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Earl of Falmouth, wishining to encourage upon his Cornish estates a more general cultivation of green crops in connexion with an im proved system of cropping, has offered for the farms which have been best cultivated and cropped handsome premiums, in proportion to the number of acres which the farms may consist, beginning with farms exceeding 200 acres, and ending with cottage tenements containing not more than 25 acres. The crops which must have been grown in succession ate-1. Wheat, or other grain suited to the soil. 2. Turnips, mangel-wurtzel, and other roots. 3. Barley or oats. 4. Grasses. 5. Grasses. Tenants have the option of grawing a , Top of rape (for consumption by sheep upon the land) in the sixth year before wheat. It is proposed to inspect the farms of the competitors in the months of July and August, and to award the premiums in the month of October follow ing.— lirest Briton. THE OBSCENE PROPERTIES OP THE VULTURE.— The above foul bird will devour, with a disgusting trait of greediness, the most putrid offal, and in almost all parts- of the east, groups of them, from twenty to thirty, may be seen assembled together, fattening upon human and other animal corpses. So depraved, so vitiated, and so rotten is the consti tutional system of the vulture, that its very feathers maybe ob served to molt from its wings, at voluntary intervals, whilst it is in the act of gorging its prey; and there is one fact in relation to this repulsive bird which is perhaps not generally known, it is this, viz., tbat no animal wh a t ever w ill prey upon the vulture, or otherwise—not even the Jackal' or glutton, which are in the habit of burrowing into, and ransacking. the repositories of the dead, and indulging each a morbid appe tite, yet these beasts will rot approach the vulture, but will tura away from it with total abhorrence. Even the common flesh fly (musca putris) w ill no t l en d i ts a id t owar d s annihi lating the voluc:ine nuisance under consideration, by inocu lating the carcase of the bird with its c,nsuming larvae, but avoids coming into centact with the foetid mass, so that the vulture may be looked upon as the most obscene of all car nivorous scavengers, and can be viewed only in the light of a solitary outcaq, singled out from the wide and varied uni versity of animated nature. W RECK OF THE INDEMNITI .—CLEVERNESS OF THE CAPTAlN.—lntelligence was received at Stockton, on Sunday, of the wreck of the brig Indemity, Captain R. Grieves, of that port, the property of Mr. W. W. 'Watson, about the middle of July, on the Magdalen Islands, in the gulf of St. Lawrence, while on her passage from Ireland to Quebec, in ballast. At the time of the wreck there were nearly 20 persons on board. The vessel having got on the shore, the master went to the main land, and hired some labourers to assist in getting her oft; but a storm arose on his return, threatening not only her loss, but the less of all hands. Under these circumstances, he sent a buoy adrift, attached to a line; end on its approach to the land, it was hooked up by the inhabitants, a number of whom had assembled on the cliffs. A warp was then fastened to the ilneon board the brig, and drawn to the cliff, where it was made fast. The captain now placed a " thimble" on the rope, with a hempen " chair ;" and the line was made fast to the " thimble " in two places —so that the chair could be drawn up to the cliff, and back to the vessel. With this apparatus the seamen and labourers were made to travel, one by one, from the wreck to the cliff. The captain re mained to the last ; and having no one to assist him into the " chair," he had great clinically in taking his seat, and securing his safety. One man only —a sailor, named Brown—was lost. lie had attempted, in spite of his master's injunctions, to make his way to lend in a boat, and was drowned. The bull and materials of the brig (wh'cli was insured) sold for a sum Short of UAL— Gateshead Obssrrer. Tun FORESTS.—The sport of deer-stalking has been pursued with success for the last fortnight. Stags are more migratory ttian usual this season, few having been seen at many of their favourite haunts. John Ross, Esq., at Strathgarve, shot a pair of stags right and left ; at the seine place and time, A. Mackenzie, ESQ., yr., of Ord, got a stag. Mr. Flood and Mr. Chearnly, at kuchinault, secured four. At Iledcastle, two red deer and two rce were killed by sons of (7olonel Bailie. Colonel Porter shot two stags at Inchnacardock. Mr. White, of Monar has killed one ; Glenmo riston one very heavy deer ; Lord Walsingham, at Kinlochewe, one Sir P. atostyn and Lord Lovat have brought down several good stags. A Very heavy ioyal stag's head was sent here the other day Irom Erehlcss Castle to be preserved.

We are in possession of some further par ticelars in the matter, which we do not feel at liberty to pub lish at present, as it might probably have the effect of preventing the furtherance of the ends of justice. The officers concerned are remarkably shrewd and intelligent, and it is not at all likely that they will lose the probable chance afforded them of ultimately itmking a seizure of those which they have in view, and of causing them also-to be .confiscated to thlav ir e . nue.

SINGULAR INCIDENT.—About ten Seats ago, whilst A man of the name of Robertson, a slater, and belonging to Dean ston, was at work at Keir House, he accidentally fell through the hot-house. He appeared to have received no injury, except a scratch and a slight cut iu the thick part of the left hand in a line with the [file linger. Feoling a go,d deal of uneasiness in the part, he thought he must have fractured a small 'aone. Still, however, it gave riint little trouble, except an occasional twinge whilst at work, until, about three weeks ago, his arm became inflamed, and suppuration took place about three inches above the wrist, nearly in a line with the part previously cut with glass. The suppu ration soon closed, and the pari, seemed to be healed, and all 'going on as before. About three days thereafter, however;:whilst at work at Inner Trosach Lodge, he felt h!s arm uneasy, • amias if something sharp ruffled against his shirt. On taking off his coat fuld.examlning the part, he was not a litt e surprised to see the end of a piece of glass protruding—the same that had cut and entered into the palm of his hand no less than ten years before. On the glass being ex tracted, it was round to be 3-7ths of an inch long, and 2-Bths'broad at one end, whilst the other was sharp-pointed.—,Stirling Journal. lloositn WEDDING.—The ceremony of tying the nuptial knot is very much simplified in the Hoosier State, as the fol lowing scene will show:—" What is your name, sir ?-3latty.

TIGHT RING OFF A FINGER.— Thread a needle flat in the eye with a strong thread : pa - is the end of the needle with care under the ring, and pull the thread through a few inches towards the hand : wrap the long end of thelthread tightly round the finger, regularly, all down to the nail, to reduce its size. Then lay hold of the short end of the thread and unwind it. The thread pressing against the ring will gradually remove it front the finger. This never-failing meth6d will remove the tighest ring without difficulty, however much swollen the finger may be.
