even the Andes in elevation, the Dwawalagiri, or White Mountain, being estimated at 26,862 feet above the level of the sea, white Sorala, the loftiest of the Andes, is computed at 24,200.) " I have beheld" says Captain S., " nearly all the celebrated scenery of Europe, which poets and p linters have immortalized, and of which all the tourists in the world are enamoured ; but J have see❑ it surpassed in these unfrequented and almost unknown regions. The youth who, just emerged from college, gazes for the first time on Mont Blanc, may appreciate my feelings when I enjoy the glories of the Himalaya—although I have witnessed the sun rise from the summit of Mount Etna, certainly one of the grandest objects in Europe. My awe and astonish. ment, so far fram being diminished by such scenes, ex ceeded all I felt when I first saw Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise.' I was almost sorry that I could not cast off the ties of another world, as it were, and remain in these mountains for ever !" Travelling from place to place in a palanquin, is thus amusingly pourtrayed : 4 ' On entering a town the bearers vary the usual grunt with which they enliven the way, by extolling the cha racter of the person they are carrying, in true Easter hy perbole, not knowing even his name perhaps. The first trip I ever made by Dik was from Meerut to Delhi. I am, indeed, but little practiced ; and just before entering the town I had fallen into a doze, from which I was awak ened by the loud exclamations of my people in praise of some great man, as I imagined. They were shouting out, as we moved through the streets, Make way for a great man !" A mighty Prince!" The Poor Man's Friend !' The Lion of War !' ' Our Father and Mother !' with a hundred other honourable appellations. I expected the Great Mogul, at least, to pass me ; but not a traveller was to be seen but myself, and I was the undisputed hero of all these fine phrases. Am I Giles, or am I not ? thought I, or has some facetious Caliph been playing me a trick ? Like Abon Hassan am Ito be King for a day? On finding that I had awakened, they roared my titles out still louder; and I entered a small tent beneath a tree, by the castle ditch, is spite of this magnificent pro. clamation, without a soul being there to notice me, and not even a breakfast provided for the ' poor man's pro tector.' " A hundred other passages, equally agreeable with the foregoing, might be found in the vo lumes, but our limits preclude us from extract ing them. We cannot conclude our notice of the work, however, without presenting to our readers Captain Skinner's description of the sensations of the traveller on first arriving in India:— " I was struck with the air of romance in which every thing seemed to be decked : the sparkling river, with its picturesque and various vessels, from the rude boat with its roof of thatch, to the golden barge of state; the grace ful palms, and the matted villages that they shadowed ; the Stillness of the pagodas; the men awl animals whose ap pearances were so new to me ; and the aromatic odour shed around by the herbs and plants; indeed the merest trifle, for a time, was magnified into a most wonderful occur rence ; and every scene through which I had to pass was invested with as much consequence as it would have be come Dun Quixote to have attached to it." To conclude, a more lively narrative than that of Captain Skinner it has rarely been our lot to peruse, not excepting the strange adventures, in th e other hemisphere, of Mr. Ross Cox. Had the author given a map or chart of his route, it would have materially enhanced the value of his work. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. From the Messager des Chambres, dated Tuesday.)

PF.TERSBURGIT, JULY 16.--We are informed by the English Papers of the mission of Lord Durham. At first it caused some sensation on 'Change ; our merchants are always alarmed when negociations with England are talked of: they consider the English as almost their only antagonists, and suspect them of seizing every oppor t u nit y to embarras s an d to check its increasing prosperity. They, therefore, beheld with a degree of pleasure the appearance of intestine troubles excited by the Reform Bill ; nay, com mercial speculations were founded on the expected propaga tion of these troubles. Some of our great houses will pay dearly for this false speculation. The Government is in no wise embarrasse,l by the mission of Lord Durham ; it knows very well the injury that would ensue from the interruption of commerce between the two nations would be reciprocal, and deeply felt by both. It is known, besides, that the mission of Lord Durham is not insulting to the Emperor; on the contrary, it proves the confidence of the English Cabinet in ours. There is no reason to suppose that it concerns, in any manner whatever, our internal affairs, as foreign journals would have us believe. The choice of the Noble Lord for this mission may seem strange at this mo ment, considering his well-known political sentiments; hut there is nothing in this mission and in its object to cause surprise or alarm. It is designed for the interest of Europe, and for the consolidation of the system of peace, which is desired here as it is everywhere else. It is thought that the domestic afflictions which have lately befallen Lord Durham induced Earl Grey to divert his mind by employment, and with this view to give him the proposed mission to St. Petersburgh. The Imperial Family is going to leave the capital. PARIS, AUG. 4.—The Nouvelliste of yesterday evening says, that no despatch has arrived from the liberating army in Portugal; that private letters from Lisbon de scribe the city as plunged into consternation. No boat, no: even a fishing- smack, can navigate in the Tagus. The inhabitants are obliged to be home at six o'clock, at which hour the shops are closed. Lisbon awaits with impatience the cessation of a state of things which grows intolerable. Various reports are in circulation ; those re lative to Don Pedro are very favourably received. The Nouvelliste, which gives an article from Madrid, of the 26th, with official accounts from Portugal to the 21st, which confirm, says the article, all the reports already sent to us on the tranquillity that the kingdom enjoys, and which is only equalled by the enthusiasm that all the inhabitants show for his Majesty Dan Miguel, to whom they give the most unequivocal proofs of their attachment.

The Marquis is known to possess the entire confidence of his Imperial Master, and his mission is said to be 9t great importance. We have been informed that, at a late hour on Monday evening, he had an interview with Viscount PALMER STON, at the Foreign Office, which lasted an hour and a half ; after which the Marquis had a long and confidential conversation with the venerable CoNDE DE FUNCHAL, DONNA MARIA'S accredited Minister to eur Court, on the state of Portugal since the landing of Don PEDRO at Oporto. The Marquis PALMELLA is staying at an hotel in Grosvenor -street. The Marchioness, we believe, is still at St. Michael's, with the Countess VILLA Rott. DEATH OF SIR JOAN TYRRELL.—On the morning of Friday last, this worthy and universally re• opected Baronet, after a short but severe afliction, died at his seat, Boreham House. lie was in the 71st year of his age.—Essex -Herald. SUDDEN DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR CHARLES BRUCE.—yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, a stout, middle-aged gentleman was observed walk ing down St. Martin's-lane; when near St. Martin's court he suddenly staggered and reeled about, which at tracted the notice of the passengers, who ran to his assis tance, and caught him as he was in the act of falling. The unfortunate gentleman, who was quite speechless, was im mediately carried into the surgery of Mr. BAINBRIDGE, situated at the corner of the above-named court, where an attempt was made to bleed him, but all in vain, as the un fortunate gentleman proved to be quite dead. The body was then conveyed ti St. Martin's poor-house, and was shortly afterwards recognised to be that of Lieut.-General Sir CHARLES BRUCE, of Beckenham, in Kent. He had been only a few days in town, and was staying at the Old Hummums Hotel, Covent-garden. The General was about forty years of age, and a remarkably tall fine-looking man. It was presumed that I.e died of apoplexy. An inquest was held in the evening on the body, and we understand the verdict was, Died by the visitation of God. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1832, At ten minutes before two o'clock this day his MAJESTY arrived in a travelling carriage and four from Windsor Castle, at St. James's Palace, accompanied by Sir ANDREW BAR NARD, the Equerry in waiting. The Royal carriage was escorted by a party of the 14th Light Dragoons from Hounslow bar racks. Shortly after his MAJESTY held a Court and Levee, which, as far as we could judge, was more numerously attended than the last. His MAJESTY will return to Windsor at half -past six o'clock. This forenoon a number of the Members o ;he House of Commons had an interview with Earl GREY at his residence in D-o-w—n-i.n.orr--.s.tr-e-e-1 The Royal Assent was last night given by Commission in the House of Lords to the Irish Reform and Boundary Bills. Thus that great measure is at length fully accomplished, which for upwards of eighteen long wearying months has kept the kingdom, from one extremity to the other, in a constant state of agitation. The constitution, according to the Ultras, is now fairly dead, coffined, buried. Reform has driven the gout into its stomach, and killed it. When, however, we bear in mind that this same Constitution has been killed not less than three several times, first by the Test Acts ; secondly, by Catholic Emancipation ; thirdly, by Reform ; it will not surprise us to find the Ultras declaring next Session that it is still alive and in the best possible condition, to be put to death a fourth time. The Reform Bill, we repeat, is now law ; yet here we are just as happy and prosperous ai if it had never passed. His MAJESTY has even given his Royal sanction to it, vet no earthquake has signalized the disastrous act ; there has been no convulsion on the part either of men or elements ; London is not swallowed up, neither has the sky fallen. Very odd ; especially when those Cassandras, the Ultras, pledged their reputation for wisdom that it would be otherwise. But pass ing these, and all such minor matters, we have now only to request the people to take care that they turn Reform to fitting account, by insti tuting a searching scrutiny into the characters and professions of those who propose themselves as candidates for their suffrages in the ensuing Parliament. This is the cardinal point on which every eye should be fixed. Reform is either a positive good, or a positive nullity, just as the people apply it well or ill. Th e Chancery Offices Abolition Bill Was read a third time last night in the House of Lords, and passed, after Lord ELDON, as usual, had expressed his apprehensions of an extensive and sudden chang e in the mode of administering Justice. Had the Bill in question been one to perpetuate the abuses of the present system, not a word would this good old Earl have said about its extent and suddeness, It would then have been all that mortal states. men c - )uld desire. But because it errs on the wrong side of the sinecure system, because it has lot its object the good of the suitors, as well as of the community at large, therefore it is exten sive and sudden. Lord ELDON'S notion of a perfect Chancery Improvement Bill seems to be, that it should concede as little as possible to the suppliant for justice, and as much as possible to him who dispenses it. Colonel EVANS again brought forward the question of Poland in the House of Commons last night, and reflected with appropriate feeling and energy on the wrongs which that heroic country had received at the hands of the Russians. The Hon. and Gallant Member's motion on the subject was finally lost, Lord PALNIERSTON having moved the previous question, but not before Sir F. BURDETT had delivered one of those manly, straight-forward speeches which so well become him and the cause he advocates. We are sorry to find that Lord ALTHORP has abandoned his intention of passing a Bill to allow electors further time to pay their rates. The opposition made to it by those who have opposed every clause favourable to the people, and the averment by that party that it was con trary to the law and usage of Parliament, are the only grounds, as far as we can judge, for his Lordship's conduct. That it is not contrary to the law is evident from a number of si milar cases having occurred during the last cen tury ; and though it may not be usual, yet the injustice which the defective clause of the Bill entails on a vast number of respectable electors, would be a sufficient ground for going out of the usual track of Parliamentary proceedings. The non-payment of the rates has not arisen from inability to pay, or from any want of atten tion to the discussions in Parliament, for it ap pears many of those who have not qualified be long to the higher classes. The glaring fact alone, that the whole of Russell- square is excluded by this clause of the Bill would warrant the Legislature i❑ passing a remedial measure ; but in addition to that, we find by returns made, that in several parishes of Westminster, not one-half, in some instances not one-third, and in the parish of illarylebone not one-fourth of the rate payers are now qualified to vote at the next election. In country parishes the number will probably be still greater, but taking the average to be the same, some even of the new boroughs (putting the boroughs in schedule B out of the question) will be little better than close Corporations. Frame, for instance, with a population of 12,000, contains only 400 qualifying tenements, and taking into account the number of these occu pied by females, and calculating that not more than one-fourth hive paid their rates, the whole electoral body will but amount to 100. Kidderminster, Whitby, and Kendal are nearly in the same state, and some of the boroughs in schedule B will not have even half that number With these facts before them, and with the knowledge that the proposed alteration would only be in perfect accordance with the spirit and tenour of the Reform Bill, we put it to Ministers whether the clamours of the Anti- Reformers ought to weigh with them for one moment in doing this act of justice. German and Brussels Papers have been re ceived. The following are extracts : FRANKFORT, JULY 28, —Last Wednesday morning an extraordinary sitting of the Diet was convoked by the Pre- sident. it is said to have been in consequence of the long conference which the President had with the Duke of Saxe Coburg when he passed through Frankfort, on his way to visit his brother, King Leopold. If this be true, we may suppose the Diet was engaged in the sitting with the affairs of Belgium and Holland, on the final decision of which it will have to bear an important part. We hear a ❑ew protocol of the Diet spoken of, the object of which is said to be to give satisfactory explanations of same passages in the protocol of the 2Sth of June. AMSTERDAM, AUG. 6.

The unsettled state of Belgium had caused a trifling fall in the funds. Several regiments have been ordered to march towards the south of France, to watch the movements of the Spanish troops, or cordon sanitaire, which is now formed along the line of the Pyrenees. The Duke of ORLEANS was on the point of taking a tour into the western de partments of La Vendee, to try what influence his presence may have among the Chouans and the Carlist party. Great preparations were making in the Palace of th e T u il er i e s for th e d e p ar t ure o f the KING and the Princess LOUISE for Compiegne, where the nuptials are to take place between this amiable Princess and King LEOPOLD of Bel gium, on the 9th instant. The latest news re ceived in Paris from Don PEDRO'S expedition is up to the 30th ult.: at that time he was for tifying Oporto. The Minister of War, Marshal SOULT, had received orders to have a guard of honour placed at the hotel of Queen Donna MARIA, in the Rue de Courcelles. This mark of a ttention on the part of Government is a proof of its in tention to acknowledge the Regina de facto of Por tugal. News from Oporto was looked forward to with much interest. We have accounts from Calcutta to the 17th March. The commercial advices state the In digo imports for the season 1831-32, up to the 7th March, at 1.19, 533, 29.10. The demand in the Calcutta Market for fine Jaconets and Mediums continued, but without any a dvance in price. The heavy stocks were, however, gradu ally reducing, and if, as was expected, the im portations should also become less, it w as thought prices would advance. About 20,000 pieces had been sold during the week ending the Bth of March. Preight continued at six to seven guineas, and but little available. The only ar ticle of the slightest interest in the Calcutta Papers is an account of the insurrection of the Coles having been entirely put down. A sister of HEBERLE, the principal dancer al the King's Theatre, died on Monday evening of cholera. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) FREEMAN V. FAIRLIE. This long litigated case has been at last brought to a conclusion by arrangement between the parties. One married woman, of the name of Smith, is to have about . 20,0001., and some difficulty arose as to the proper mode of having that money settled before it was put into her hand. The hu-band of Mrs. Smith (who there was somedifficulty in tnanaging) agreed to leave the nature of the settlement to the Solicitor-General and Sir Edward Sugden. Ten thousand pounds, it was then arranged, should be settled on the wife and children, and the remainder be paid to her at once, to do with it as she pleased. The LORD CHANCELLOR. took her consent in Court. nr.nroan CHARITY. The Court proceeded to hear the Counsel in this matter, which occupied all yesterday. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN ex pressed his confidence that this petition, from the length of it, and from the number of counsel employed in it, could not cost less than 1,0001. ! He considered that he would be able to satisfy the Court the petition would have to be dismissed with costs. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SPECIAL INJUNCTION.-CASE V. C•SE. Mr. CHANDLESS applied ex parte for a special injunc tion in this case to restrain the defendant, who is the bus• band of the plaintiff, from selling certain furniture, plate, and china. The application was made upon the affidavit of the plaintiff, from which it appeared that she was mar ried to the defendant in October, 1802, by whom she had ten children, seven of whom were now living. That about seven years ago, in consequence of the ill treatment of her husband, the plaintiff left him, and he now lived with another woman, by whom he had a large family. By the testamentary disposition of the plaintiff's mother, she became entitled, to her separate use, to certain sums of money, which, for the benefit of her children, she assigned to trustees. Since the period of the separation, she had provided for the whole of her children, and with the in terest of this money, and through the kindness of friends, had furnished the house in which she lived. The defendant had executed a bill of sale to a person named Walden, who, on the 24th of July, in the present year, while the plaintiff was from home on a visit at the house of a friend, removed the whole of the effects from her house, and threatened to sell it under the bill of sale, unless he was restrained from doing so. His HONOUR immediately granted the injunctio❑ restraining the sale. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

A mail from Halifax and Bermuda sailed from Halifax July 4 ; a mail from Mexico sailed from Vera Cruz June 12, from Tampico June 2, which brings accounts that Santa Anna was in pursuit of the Government troops ; a'so that he had issued a proclamation at Tampico, that all the old Spaniards should quit it within 20 days. A similar order was issued at Vera Cruz, but with an allowance of longer time. The Lapwing brings home sixteen thousand doll ire. Accounts received at Liverpool state that the cholera has 1 , made its appearance at New York. Halifax papers to July 3; New Brunswick to June 26 ; Quebec to June 24 ; Prince Edward Island to June 26 ; Sydney papers to March 5, and Calcutta to March 15, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House, all of which are destitute of any news of consequence. They are mostly filled with English infor mation. From Halifax it is stated that a severe gale took place at Bermuda, which lasted two days, and done some damage to the shipping, but not to a great extent. The Sydney Herald of the sth March says that the Legislative Council has been deeply engaged for some time back in devising a scheme for promoting emigration, and with a view to meet the wishes of the Home Ministry, not less than 10,0001. of the supplies, colonial revenue, is to be appropriated for that purpose. The Calcutta Papers state that the total gross quantity of opium, for which passes have been granted in Bombay to the 20th February, amounts to 9,351 chests. THE FUNDS. Up to the present hour we have no farther information respecting Don Pedro's army in Portugal ; indeed we can not expect any until the arrival of the Lisbon packet. The Funds this morning have nut so bright an appear • ance as they had yesterday, when they left off at 83i for the Account, and opened this morning at 83i since which they have receded to S3i 4, with rather a heavy market. This is attributed to information that King Leopold has refused to sign the last protocol, and will not consent to pay a toll to the Dutch for the interior naviga tion of the rivers. This is the day the bidding for the French loan takes place, consequently the event is anxiously looked for by the speculators in that article. Already some of the minor speculators in the Stock Exchange have offered it at par this morning, before they know the price it will be taken at. This, indeed, is a puny opposition to our great city capitalists, as well as to damp the market for the said speculation. Portuguese Scrip continues at a discount of from 4 to 31, HALF-PAST ONE. The Dutch steamer has arrived, and brings a Dutch cou rier. The Dutch Funds per cent. higher, 43i to 44, in consequence of which Consols have improved to 834 a for Account.

This was au action brought by the plaintiff, a carpenter and joiner at Leominster, to ri cover the price of a chair furnished for the use of Mr. Fraser, a candidate at the last Leominster election, in the full expectation of the termi nation of the proceedings by the ceremony of chairing the member. Unfortunately, however, the chair was not in request, Mr. Fraser being unsuccessful, and the manu facturer now brought his action to recover the amount charged. The Jury, upon the evidence, found for the plaintiff.— Damages 41. being the price of the chair. James Gammon, aged 24, was indicted for a rape on the person of Charlotte Powell, an interesting little girl of seven years of age. It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner was in a menial capacity, under the father of the little girl, at a large manufactory on the confines of Glou cestershire, of which he, the father, was the superintend int. The prisoner was in the habit of taking the little girl and her brothers and sisters out to walk, and on the day the offence was committed he had taken them across the Wye, in a boat, at eleven o'clock in the morn ing, and having sent the three other children away on different pretences, he effected his purpose at an uninha bited house, called the " Fish-house," under circumstances of very great cruelty. The details of the case, which occupied some time in hearing, we suppress, but the Jury upon them found the prisoner Guilty. The JUDGE then put on the black cap, and sentenced the prisoner to be hanged, without naming the tittle. The prisoner, we understand, has been charged with similar offences two or three times before. The calendar is light, and almost all the cases are now disposed of. They were not of any public interest. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD RACES, AUGUST 7.

At length the spirit dis played reached such a height that the persons who had the chrrge of the rioters wore obliged to set them at liberty. The crowd seized the waggon and immediately burnt it, amid triumphant shouts and declarations of vengeanc , against the farmers. They continued assembled until the arrival of the military from B,ston at hall-past nine ; town was then full of people, but no collision took place although fears were entertained. At three this morning all was quiet,Boston Gazette. IRELAND. (EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED DUBLIN, AUG. 4.) As the subject of tithes and the church establishment in this country is one of public interest at this moment, I give you the following facts, from which your readers can infer, how justifiable, or otherwise, is the opposition to both by the people of Ireland. A friend of mine, on whose veracity I can rely, informed me a few days ago, that there are certain taxes in support of the PE otestant Church paid in some towns and cities by Roman Catho lics, which are more onerous and grievous to rersons of that persuasion than even tithes themselves. As one in stance, he said, that he possessed a small property about one hundred miles from this city, from which one tenth or thereabouts was annually paid to the Protestant clerey man of the parish in which it was situated. But, said he, "I pay that, and shall continue to do so voluntarily as long as the laws of my country command me to do so. There is, however, another tax, which though sanctioned by Act of Parliament, is, in my mind, the most iniquitous im position on papists that ever disgraced even the penal code of this country. I have a small house in St. George's parish in this city, for which I pay a rent of fifty guineas a year, besides five or six pounds taxes, for paving, lighting ; water, tze. Now these taxes, though perhaps grew. r than they ought to be, are not grievous, much less iniqui tous, as I derive some advantage from the Paving Board and Water Company who receive them. But I am com pelled to pay V. 81. to sustain St. George's Church, which I nor one of my family never entered, in the fol lowing proportions :-1/. 161. a year towards paying off a debt, or the interest of a debt of '75,000/., incurred in the building of tisat church, and 12a. for bread and wine for the congregation who frequent it. Ia addition to this I have to pay 12s. yearly to the rector of the parish, which, though a Catholic, I don't so much obj-ct to, the same being paid in other parishes and in different parts of Ire land. But how a legislature could, in these days, when it is not penal to be a Roman Catholic, enact a law obliging me, a Roman Catholic, to build and pay the expenses of a Protestant Church, that ought, as I am told, to have been built out of the produce of the " First Fruits," or some similar fund, is to me a wonder ! ! Surely there is no oth( r country in the world where so unjust a law would be enacted." Let this speak for itself. The following, which have appeared in the public papers, tend to show what additional burdens are frequently imposed on the peoie of this unfortunate island for the purpose of upholding a sys tem long since sentenced to destruction by reason and justice. A "MULTITUDE OF COUNSELLORS." (From the Dublin Plain Dealer.) We have heard the following anecdote from an in formant, who states that he WAS a witness •f the trans- action, and desires to know whether such practice is gcol in law. We cannot answer that question; hut we give the story, because it has amused us, and may amuse othrrs. How happily does it illustrate the moral of the EngUhl' Esop— The child, whom many fathers share, But seldom knows a father's care." In a certain town, on a certain circuit, a prisoner was given in charge to the jury, on an indictment containing thirty counts. It was a prosecution on the pert of the Crown ; that is to say, four gentlemen, learned in the law, had received the usual perquisite in such case provided, at the hands of the Crown Solicitor. We shall not desig nate them by their right names at present, but, for short ness, will call them Smith, Brown, Jones, and Robinson. The indictment being read, the Learned Judge asked the gentleman, whom we call "Mr. Smith," on what counts he meant to proceed. Mr. SMITH made answer and said—" I really do rot know, my Lord ; the case has not been briefed to me !" " Perhaps Mr. BROWN can tell." Mr. BROWN." My Lord, the case has not been briefed to me Mr. Jotas was summoned out of the Record Court, and with one of his blandest smiles assured his Lordship he was unable to say more than his respected friends— " The case had not been briefed to him ! ! !" The Junue, being now in a manner driven to the wall, asked a question which has been often asked—" Where is Mr. ROAINSON ?" Now, the gentleman whl rejoices, for the nonce, in the name of RoattisoN, has the friculty of being every where, and very soon accordingly he stood in the presence. But, " fore Gad," as honest Dogberry They were all in a tale." The case had sect been briefed to him ! ! ! ! Query.—Will not the fees paid to these four gentlemen swell the item of Crown Prosecutions in the Irish Esti. mates of the current year? (From the Londonderry Journal of Tuesday.) We refer our readers to our Report of live moss connected with tithes, which were tried at the last Lifford Ms'ees, as a small proof that the Irish Govern ment is not indifferent to the rights of the clergy, by whose organs it is so constantlyrevilet We only wish :hat the - Law Officers of the Crown had made a more judicious selection of cases. Out of the whole that were tried there was only a partial conviction. Each of these (ia which four counsel were engag , d for the Crown) will with r t s r u aroshe s d e e outininion f tis cla le im x s n f o o n r c fi u v ) e .a s t h ; ill s i i a n g c s e I two As of en tli n e_ cost the country about 50/. Henceforth it cannot be said w re nected with these cases, we have to refer to tie trial of James Trimble and others, for obstructing a Revenue Officer in the discharge of his duty•--1 trial which was followed by an acquittal on grounds both of law and fact. These men, whose imputed off nee was all about a log of timber, were tried on no fewer than three indictments, containing no fewer than sixteen counts? The individual who drew these indictments must he possessed of talent of a far superior order, though of a converse kind, to that of him who compressed the Iliad within a nut-shell. People may grumble at the fact, but cannot be surprisal that the Irish estimate for criminal prosecutions, which has been • constantly on the rise, amounts this year to no less than 75,000/. DUBLIN ASSIZES, JULY 25th. TITHE CASES. Neal Doherty indicted for that he, on the 19th dty of March last, at Olives, in the county of Donegal!, did rescue a cow, which had been seized for five shillinys of tithe composition, due to the Rev. Hamilton Stuart; also for an assault on Daniel M'Leughlin, the tithe b Daniel M'Laughlin, sworn,ls the bailiff of the Rev. Hamilton Stuart; seized a cow in prisoner's cowliouse on 19th March last for ss. tithe composition; prisoner rescued the cow, and pushed prosecutor out of the house. There was no counsel or attorney employed for the pri i goner, who cross-examined the prosecutor himself. Pro secutor admitted he had pulled out a knife, which prisoner alleged the prosecutor had drawn on his wife; prosecutor, however, swore it was for the purpose of freeing the cow ! ! In answcr to a question from the Court, prosecutor ad [flitted that the sum due for tithe tV,IS Tered him by prisoner at the time of the seizure; he did not re;ule to receive it, but he declined to demand it on two grounds; be was directed not to receive the tithe, bet to distrain the cow. On being pres.ed by the Court, he said he would have received the tithe but for the insolent lan guage of the prisoner. The Cmi.r BARON charged the Jury to acquit the prisoner, which they did without leaving the box, and he Counsel for the Crown advised his Reverence to take the tithe in future, if it should be again offered to him. Jas. M'Dade indicted for having, on the 4th April, rescued two cows, the goods ofJ. and 0. 1 1 41‘Dade, &trained fur twelve shillings of tithe composition, due to the Rev. H. Stuart. Not Guilty. The same 0. .21PDade indicted for having on 4th April rescued tw• cows, the goods of Owen 111‘Dsde, di.trained for five shillings of tithe composition due to the Rev. H. Stuart. Not Guilty. The same Owen .4.ll‘Dade and Jas. ilf‘Delde, for a riot and assault on Daniel IVl'Laughlin, bailiff of the Rev. IL Stuart. Not Guilty. Jas. Doherty indicted for balling, on 22d May hat, as Ezterlin, rescued two heifers, seized for tithe cotnpositio4 due to the Rev. Mr. Hawkshaw ; also for a riot and as sault on Denis Quigley, Mr. Hawkshaw's bailiff; also for an assault on Patrick adietty, an assistant. The Jury acquitted the prisoner of the rescue, and found him guilty of the two assaults, but recommended him to mercy, in which Mr. Hawksbaw joined. S.utence, one month's imprisonment. DREADFUL SUICIDE AT THE GOLDEN CROSS.—This morning, the Golden Cross Inn, Charing cross, was thrown into great alarm owing to one of the gentlemen stopping there having committed suicide. About 4. o'clock a violent noise was heard in the room occupied by the gentleman, when, upon the door being opened, the unfortunate gentleman was found lying on th e floor with his throat cut in a most horrid manner, and the razor with which he effected his purpose, to Tether with three others, lying by his side. Oa searching his pockets, some cards were found, on which were engraved, WILLIAM Iliosco ex. Commission Me-chant, 15, Great St. Helen's, and about Mlle sovereigns and some silver.
