'fiat; following melancholy and well attested case of this terrible malady; while it must necessarily increase the dread of it, should also stimulate to an ,uninterrupted and long continued application of the usual remedies, as, it clearly shews that the poison may remain dormant for a considerably longer pc.• riod than is generally supposed.' TO GILBERT GRIERsON, ESQ, SENIOR MAGI. STRATE OF LEITH. " SIR, " As you have thought it your duty to call upon me fur an authenticated account of the melancholy instance of Canine Madness in Thomas Mason, por. ter, Giles.street, that it may serve as a•caution to othersond a 'motive to particular vigilance in fu. tote, I send you the following Note: " Upon the 9th December last. in passing through Quality-street, he was called to assist in killing, a mad dog. He seized the dog by the throat ; it bit his hand nearly through, betwixt the hones of the thumb and forefinger, and retained the hold until it was stabbed. " On Thursday last the symptoms of this ter rible disease commenced with pain anti numbness of the arms and hand bit, and ;palms in the neck and chest. On Friday the horror of water became the must striking symptoni of the disease, and. was Marked in the most unequivocal manlier, for even the word water threw him into violent convulsion and alarm. The disease now,to,k its most dreadful form : but the description of these symptoms here can have no useful purpose. On Tuesday he was exhausted and died. I may farther remark to you, that all uneasiness and alarm for the consequences. of the bite had long ceased with this poor man, and imagination **thing to do with . the disease. " If any thing farther than the charaneristic symptoms were necessary to prove the existence of this disease, and make the most sceptical gladly ac. quiesce in every measure of .precaution, that proof might be found in the. appearances on disseaion,— The body was very minutely examined by Mr. Charles Bel 4 who is accustomed to contruul every feeling 0: - disgust or apprehension where o.e - into. rests of humanity - may he in the event benefited by such investigations. The throat, stomach, and brain were very much diseased. . 4 ' have the Himour to he, Sir, 44 Your most obedient Servant, J. Cattv NE, jun. M. D." Ltith, August 9, 184. A man named Moses 11, has been committed for trial to Nottingham ga .1, for forging eighteen Bills of Exchange on Messrs. Wright, bankers, ,of that town. Last Sunday morning, between three and four o'clock, the inhabitants of Lostwitbi e l were o armed by the breaking out of a lire in the s ki rts of that town, which, notwithstanding every exertion to su pp re i s it, destroyed four small houses before it was got under. The damage is stated at about three or four hundred pounds, and the Gentlemen of the town have entered into a subscription for the relief of the sufferers. Wednesday se'nnight. a,fire 'broke out at Mr, tallow-chandler, at Foren,. near Chard, which iurnt the whole building, with a quantity of tallow and candles. The' house was insured,, but none of the stock or goods. The little village of Hail, near. Chatham, has seriously felt the effrets of the storm on Sunday se'nnight, where the trees of an orchard of about two acres, are levelled with the ground ; several elm trees of considerable magnitude are broken asunder, and disperied by the force of the wind to a great distance from their jitumps ; the whole fram. ing of a well, roofs of houses and barns have been , also removed in various direeiions ; and' what is remarkable, the whole of the damages are confined in a very low valley. . A melancholy accident happened on Tuesday . seinnight, at Carnanton, in Cornwall, the seat of J. 0. Willyams„Esq. As j.)lin Harvey, labourer, of St. Columb, was carelessly putting a sheaf bind into the threshng machine, his hand caught be. tween , the rollers, which drew Isis arm up to the, shoulder, and crushed it in 4 shocking 'manner, which occasioned his:death in a few hours. He was an intustrious, sober and honest man, and has left a vile and several small children, A field Of oats . was cut down on Tuesday se'n. night, in ,Stormont, Perthshire.. Where the ground was sheltered the crop was abundant; bur part of the crop •was •much exposed, and suffered by the spring frosts. The history of this crop is somewhat novel : the field was sown in _spring,. 1803, with potatoe oars, and about the tenth return reaped, On the ground being soon thereafter ploughed, it appeared there had been a considerable shake—the breer appeared promising ; it was allowed to remain as it arose from the furrow until Tuesday se'nnight. The roots on the exposed part of the field (about a kbird) were very thin, but_ a great number o f s ta lks pushed from the same r oot , and from the rout,dness of the grain, and numbers on the stalks, the crop promises to be more abundani than last season.- 7 On counting thtee stalks, there were 201 on one of them, 214. on another, and 24.0 on the third, with. nut including the bosom grain. This experiment may mirit tha attention of the speculative farmer, and in the end be of use to the radical. One fad is ascertained, the potatne oats ' will survive the winter, at no great distance from the Grampian Hills. iREL /ND, AUGUST 16: SUMI'IER ASSIZES. KERRY. At the late Assizes of, Tralee,. an information . granted against Nicholas 'Oonolly'Hussey, Esq, for posting Don.tr Moriarty, ..of Killarney, as ascoun. tire' and a coward, and for provoking him to fight a due), cane on to be tried before the Hon. Baron SMITHrid ,aSpecia . l Jury. The , trial,lasted for se _ . veral hours, and untilafter midnight. The Jury not being likely to agree, an application was made that a Juror should be withdrawn by consent : but the Judge appeared to be of opinion that he could not yield to such an application without the consent 'of the AttorneY.Gerieral ; the Jury soon after found the following verdict :—" We find that N. C. Hussey is guilty, but are of opinion that he re . ceived great provocation."—This verdiel the Court, after some consideration, received—observing, that ,the issue being distinftly found, the additional word's could work no harm, but might be either rejected as superfluous by the Court of King's Bench, or might. have an influence in regulating_ the quantum of pu. nishment. • KILKENNY. In the City Court, on Monday, came on the trial of Patrick 'Hartshorn, for the murder of John Cody, master broad-weaver, in his house at the Buns, on the 25th February last. Several witnesses were examined, but their de. positions did not tend materially to aired the life , of the prisoner ; one of them, however, proved his having sold the prisoner a pistol, previous to the murder, of Cody, About two o'clock a son of the deceased, Cody's,,a,child• of sib years of age, was ad. duced as evidence for the prosecution ; hut, from his extreme youth„ objected to by the prisoner's Counsel —upon which the Lotto CH IF Jusvcs had Lord NOR au RY sent for from the County Court, and their Lordships, after some consultation, and examining the child, who knew that,. there was a God, that .people who ailed Wickedly would be condemned to eternal torments ; the Court over. ruled the obJeBiOn, and the examination of the child was proceeded on —he remembered the night of his father's death-..: there was . nobody in the house at the time but, his father, the pris 'ner Hartshorn, himself, and a little brother, an intant—priioner asked his father to come out and drink, , will would not go, his 'shoes being bad---prisoner .dethed. witness to go out for the maid to take care of the house, and as he- was in the ad of doing so, he heard; as he turned the corner of the house, a great U..ise like a shot ; upon which he turned-back, and met the prisoner coming out of the door, who took him by the hand, brought him down to the mill, when be saw. him throw the pistol into the river, and prisoner said he was throwing stones at rata--he never saw a pistol, but he saw a guri—it was a pistol like . a gun—it was a little one), prisoner then brought him. to Goss—gave him a penny, and desired .him to go home—but he went to prisoner's father's house, and was brought home by ,a little sister of prisoner's—on, going in he. saw his father lying d ea d on , t h e floor, arid three men about him. On his crnsi.examination, the child did not vary in the slightest degree from his direa examination —indeed so Constant was he in the Whole of his tee. timony, that it was the astonishment no less of crowded audience, than of , their Lordships. Ott the part of the prisoner an alibi was attempted to be proved, but failed ; after which f s Lordship charged the Jury at great length, who, after con sulting near half an hour, brought in a verdid of Guilty. The learned Judge th en sent enced the prisoner to be executed last Wednesday—but re spited him.until.thi opinion of the Twelve Judge s is had on his case. HONESTY.—The following instance of true rec. titude of condod in a poor man, .we think worthy of being made public : Friday last a tradesman in York lost his pricker-book, containing bank-bilis anti notes to about 2501. which was found by an industrioup, 'but poor man, who had lately begun a ,small business for the support of himself and fathily. On opening the book, the'finder observed the own. er's- name ; he instantly•shut it up, and went to the owner, under pretence of borrowing iol. to make a payment ; when. the loser observed to him, that he had lost his pocket-hook, =or otherwise lie should have :had no objedion to serving him. " Then, Sir," observed the finder of the book. " I have found it ; it is yours-; and I am happy- that it is in my powet to restore it." ' The tradesman looked over the contents, .and found his property right, and instantly offered him 51. ; but he said, " Do you mean to give the that 1" •<< Then," observed the other, " there is Col. for you ; and. if that is not sufficient, mention what more, and I tivill give it ytiu." .‘ Then., Sir," said he, "- as you wish to press upon me, please to give me a guinea -note, and I shall think myself well paid ;" and which lie even accepted with reludance, • List week a blind man appeared in Stinderland, and took a genteel lodging, "calling hiniself Duncan Grey (a native of the Highlands), pretending to b e the same person to whom BukNs, the P...et, ad.. dressed a song under that title. He is canvassing for a Colledion of Loyal Songs, etc. written by himself, to - be published in York, price los. ed. in boards. He has waited ors, and received part sub scription.money, from many of the principal fami lies that town and neighbourhood ; and has also taken in several tradesman there to a considerable amoont,—He is a tall well-made man, dressed in thickset pantaloons, boots, a light waistcoat, and light drab-coloured spencer, but no coat. He plays on the violin, and talks remarkably fast, particu. Carly when speaking of his honourable connexions. He hired a servant - and a gig during his stay at Sunderland, both of which he contrived to dismiss without wages or hire. Though a blind m in, he appears to be the most impudent impostor that has visited that neighbourhood. He was Tynemouth on Sunday, arid is now supposed to be in the neigh. bourhood of Durham or Chester-lc.street. INGRESS AND MIGRATION OF SNIPES: A Society of Sportsmen in the County of Nora folk, have agree il to devote much attention to as certain in what degree Snipes are migratory, anti at what periods they d e p art from and return' to this Country. It is knoin that . a considerable number of these birds arc bred upon. the.moOri, heaths, and fens of Norfolk and Suffolk ; but no data are yet established to prove that this race alone is sufficient to account for the very abundant , appearince of.Snipets upon almost all the marshes, from the preient .time till the end of Oriober, when they disappear till the end of February.. It appears. that . the projcas of this Society, whose skied. seems to be to establish a complete Natural History of 'the Snipe, will. be condutied upon' a very extensive scale,-as.they mean to have correspondents upon the Coast, to watch for . the ingress and migration of these. singular, birds--7 while others are to be established on the small and rapid. streams of the County, and in the vicinity of the extensive fens, where they are known to har bour. • As the times of their migration arc knowri to be synchronous with occurrences in the king! doms of Naturalists, these.
