To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying thaCthere is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabus, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred - character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted. daily at their residence; No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

THE APOSTOLIC CHU RCH.—A churchwarden of Morley, Yorkshire, recently called upon a Dissenter (who, for his past refusals to pay, has been considered to be a most dreadful and refractory heretic !) and asked for the rate. He informed him he would not pay. The Churchwarden in quired why he refused to pay church-rates ? To which the Disientcr replied, " Because he considered them to be unjust." " But," said the orthodox Churchman, " if they are lawful they must he just !! !" " Why, man," exclaimed the Dissenter, " it was once lawful to burn such as me; do you think that was just ?" "Ohno !" replied he, whilst his face burnt with shame, " that cuuld not be just." Such is generally the logic of these Sciolists of the " venerable and Apostolic Church !' Provincial Paper.

The speech is reported with extraordinary accuracy,and it has been read by the public with more than common A the C q ° ue ß st ß io E n at tention ; but every one, on putting the paper down, exclaims " What can all this be about?" The !peech had the same , puzzling effect on the House of Lords during and after its deli very. Every Noble Lord Seemed to want time for reflection, net as to the discretion of his Royal Highness comin g out with such a speech on such an occasion, but as to what he was driv ing at. They saw that his Royal Highness ii dissatisfied about something, but they could not make out from hi s ram b ling ad dress wh a t th e som ething S. This i s always the way with people who have an object at heart which they do rot think it politic t o avow. They beat about the bush, and by doing so only draw public suspicion upon their motives. And here, en passant, may be mentioned a singular fact as illustrative of the confidence which the public always repose in the long-run upon well-tried worth. The Duke of Sussex appealed to the Duke of Wellington in the most flattering terms, and the later Noble Duke answered the appeal by keeping his lips closed. The re sult is a general impression that the Duke of Wellington disap proved of the course taken by his Royal Highness ; and upon the strength of that impression alone, combined with the la boured mysHication of his speech, the public suspect his Royal Highness of having been disappointed, and disappointed ambi tion never gets credit for calm judgment or disinterested pur pose. That his Royal Highness is dissatisfied there can be no doubt, for what man is not when he find , , the follies of youth turned into whips for his old age ? The Ministry have probably taken th e w i ses t cou rse they could. It was utterly impossible for the m , looking to the disputed point of the legitimacy of Sir Augustus D'Este alone, to have included the Duke of Sussex in the arrangements for a Regency ; and to have excluded him, in favour of a younger brother, would have been an invidious act, which might have sown the bitter seed of party spirit, where it is for the public welfare that it should never be sup posed even to exist.—Morning Herald.

By order of the Board, THOS. WOOLLCOMBE, Secretary. 5, Octagon, Plymouth, 18th July, 1840. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE WANING PILFERS OF THIS DAT. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We are edified in the Times of yesterday with a multi.. tude of reasons why the Whigs ought to have quitted office. It would be more to the purpose if it could be shown that the Tories can conduct the Government. The 'furies have lost ground prodigiously in public opinion during the present session. The feeling is all kat uni versal that there is no principle of cohesion in the party,and that, were they to take office, they could not re main in power a week. The hopes by which the retainers were buoyed up a twelvemonth ago are fled. You do not now meet a man in the streets who contemplates as even within the range of possibility that the Tories can conduct the government. The consequence is, that though the Whigs do not command so large a majority as it were to be wished they had in the House of Com mons, their tenure of office is now felt to be perfectly secure. The Times may therefore be safely left to amuse itself with comparing the majorities at different periods. The confidence of the party is not to be raised by reference to division lists. The public attach no importance to these divisions, knowing that the party is stricken by ez ralysis ; no two men among them are agreed on the course of policy which ought to be pursued. The Session has, on their part, been one continued blunder—a constant effort to satisfy the public of their own inefficiency, and of the superiority of the present Ministry in all Statesman like qualities to any men who could be named to succeed them. But the impression of Tory impotence is not con fined to this country. Intelligent foreigners have not been slow to perceive the helplessness of the party, and to un derstand its cause. (From the Morning Post.) We cannot help viewing with considerable anxiety the " Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues" Bill, which has passed the House of Commons, and is now in the House of Lords. This measure arises 'Alt of the recommenda tion of the Ecclesiastical Commission, and we believe that it has the approbation both of the Archbishop of Canter bury and the Bishop of London. With such authorities in its fa►our we cannot but hesitate, and feel great reluc tance, in saying anything against it. We certainly can not find fault with the Government for using its in fluence to press through the House of Commons a measure so recommended. Still we must own that we regard it with great anxiety, and we heartily wish that nothing had happened so displeasing and disheartening to many valuable members of the Church as this measure undoubtedly is. The briefest account we can give of the Bill is, that it cuts down cathedral esta blishments, and re-distributes their revenues, with a view to the aid of parochial ministration. Sir Robert Inglis describes it as zn overwhelming blow against cathedral establishments, and there are very many who feel that so serious a beginning will soon be followed by more com plete and absolute confiscation. These fears may be ex aggerated, but this foundation we think it has--that, if the argument be sound and good upon which the policy of the present measure is founded, it will not be easy to show that it ceases to be sound and good, when it is pro posed to push the practical application of it further than It is carried by the present Bill. YIONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—Tbe English Funds were heavy in the early part of the day, Consols for money having been done at 91i, and 91i- for the Account ; later in the day, however, prices somewhat recovered, the closing quota tions being 91i buyers for Money, and 92 to 92i for the Account. In the Foreign Honso a large extent of business was transacted in Spanish Actives. At the opening of the market prices were quoted at 27* to 27i, but some large sales having been effected, caused a sort of panic among the dealers, and prices declined to 27 to 27a, from which quotation they again rallied, the closing price being 27k to 27k. The cause of this depression arises from a ru moured rupture having taken place at Barcelona between the Queen Regent and Espartero, who had in consequence resigned the command of the army. We hear that the negotiation between Senor Fortique and the Committee of South American Bondholders is now concluded in the essential parts, but that the Com mittee do not intend yet to publish anything on the sub ject. It is certainly probable that the agents fur New Grenada and the Equador will follow in the course of j Venezuela, but we cannot give the particulars of the terms agreed further than that they secure a dividend of two per cent., which it is said the Commissioner for Venezuela will pay down so soon as the transaction is finally settled, and this the Committee expect to adjust on a basis that will ultimately produce the original terms of six per cent. HERALD.—Consols slightly recovered, closing to day at 92 to -1- 3 - for account: Exchequer Bills however continue to decline, and are last quoted 255. to 275. prem. Bank Stock on the contrary improved to 174 to 175. From the depression of the Exchequer Bill market it may be suspected that the Bank is in the market and en the defensive. There is little activity among the dealers in foreign securities. Spanish Stocks are still on the retrograde order,-and the Active a ith the May Coupons were at one time as low as 27, but at the close of business they recovered to 271 to 274. There are rumours of the arrival of commissioners charged with some financial ope ration, and as usual in such cases, the parties, if con versant with stock-jobbing at all, take the opportunity of damaging the market so as to be able to make better terms if loan negotiations be on foot and to discourage the comretition of rivals. SUN.—At the close of the market Consols left off better, 911- buyers for Money, and 9211 i for Account ; Ex chequer Bills receded, however, to 255. 275. prem. ; the Reduced Three-and-a Half per Cents. brought 100 to 1 and Bank Stock 17-43. Foreign Securities were generally very flat. Spanish Active Bonds dropped about per cent. owing to the accounts from Paris. The current prices were 271 to for Money, Money, and 27; to 27 for Time, both closing at Portuguese New hive per Cents. were 35i to 354, and the Three per Cents. at 2:32, being heavy at these quotations. Brazil Bonds receded to 791, and Colom bian to 27i. Chilian Bonds rose to 40 ; and Buenos Ayres were at 184. French Three per Cents. improved to 86f. 25c. and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. fluctuated from 534 to 53i. There was not much doing in the Share Market, but the bargains effected were at about yesterday's value, and in some instances at a slight decline. Great Wes tern realized 37,1 ; Neve, 164 ; Blackwall, 2 ; Bir mingham 92 ; Manchester and Leeds, New, 16 ; North I\lidlaea New, 4 ; and South Western, 194 premium. North Midland Shares were at 9 ; Brighton at 71 ;. and South Eastern at 144 discount. SALES BY AUCTION. TWO DAYS' SALE OF GENUINE AND VALU- ABLE UNREDEEMED PROPERTY, entirely from the Messrs.

A Russian force placed in Khiva, surrounded on all sides by deserts, above 300 miles from Bokhara, from the Caspian, and the frontiers of Persia, and 600 from the Russian lines, will occupy an excellent position for checking and controlling the nomade hordes, but a posi tion, at the same time, in which it must abide, and guard it carefully, in order to keep it. The general se curity of the Russian frontiers, whence numbers are dragged into slavery by the Kirghiz ; the safety of the caravans which proceed annually from Semipalatinsk, and other places, to Bokhara, Thibet, and the frontiers of British India ; the gradual reduction of the Kirghiz wanderers to tillage and settled habits ; these are the visible and attainable objects which Russia has in view, and her success in so wise and just a course cannot fail to redound to the general interest of mankind. If she takes advantage of the terror inspired by her first suc cess to press on Bokhara a commercial treaty of an ex clusive kind, then Bokhara will decline under the in fluence of such a treaty, which will thereby lose its value. Khunduz or Balkh, receiving British goods, may, in that case, rise to prosperity on the ruin of Bok hara. Considering the great population of the latter state, and the fierce religious zeal of which it is the cen tre, it is not likely that the insulated Russian army de spatched to Khiva will attempt its conquest ; though the display of arms will no doubt be made to second the efforts of diplomacy. As to the invasion of British India by the Russians, it appears to us to be not more likely than the invasion of Russia by the British. The sensitiveness of the Company's politicll agents on this point has been oddly and unfavourably manifested in the eagerness with which they have collected and sent home so many ground less rumours respecting the advance of the Russian army. This reminds us that the Russians have not yet con quered Khiva. Though their superior military organi zation and characteristic perseverance give them great advantages in such a contest, yet they have fotnsi dable difficulties to overcome. It was determined that the expedition should cross the desert during winter, in. order that the deficiency of water might be supplied by snow. But the intense cold (the ther mometer on the march often sinking, to 40 degrees\ and the snow-drifts, proved fatal to the camels, and the army was obliged to retreat to the Emba. It will now have to march in summer over a desert in which a scanty supply of salt and bitter water is found only every second day, and where the heat is insupportable. The Russian soldiers will scarcely be able to bear the torrid sumnrer of the Turkoman Steppes. But if they reach their des tination unwasted by want and disease, they ma y yet possibly encounter an obstinate resistance from even a weak enemy, in a country like Khiva, intersected by numerous canals. The town of Khiva itself, as de seribed by Hogg and Thompson, who, in this particular arc much superior to Mouraview, is capable of delaying for some time an invading' army. It is s urrounded by a very broad and strong embankment or wail of earth, which is higher than the houses within, and has turrets along it at equal distances. Outside of the embank ment is a broad and deep moat. If the Khively be as bold within their own walls as they occasionally show th,mseivcs p a - the frontiers of Persia, the Russian arinv, which is, alter a saial; one, may find . ; itelt iu is difficult pesitiou.—Athenceum.

(Before LORD ABINGER.) I Abraham Orpia, aged 19; William Usher, 19, and George Parish, 22, were capitally indicted for bur giariousty_ breaking an d entering the dwelling-h o us e o f Uriah Kent, at Rockford, and stealing five sovereigns and nineteen s hila ngs, his property ; and the indictment also charged that at the time the burglary was com mitted, the prisoners struck, beat, and wounded the prosecutor. Mr. bowling. who conducted the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury, and said that the prisoners were charged with the commission of a most daring outrage, and it was an offence for which, if they were convicted, they would be liable to forfeit their lives. He there fore entreated the patient attention of the Jury to the facts that would be produced in evidence, Mr. M. CHAMBERS defended the prisoners. Uriah Kent, the prosecutor, a small farmer living at Rochtord, deposed as follows :—On the night of the 17th July, Sarah, my wife, went to bed at the usual hour, and I had previously seen that the fastenings of the house were properly secured. Before I went to bed I placed a jacket which contained five pounds nineteen shillings, in gold and silver, under my pillow. About half-past twelve o clock I and my wife were awoke by the three prisoners bursting open the door of the bed-room. Their faces were blackened, and each of them had a long thick cudgel, and Dupin, in addition to this weapon, had a gun. I had known the prisoners before, and I recog nised them notwithstanding their attempted disguise. One of the prisoners walked up to the bedside and seized my jacket, and when I also laid hold of it, I was knocked down by them three times. \Villsher and Parish were the men who knocked me down, and Orpin stood over my wife with his gun. When I was over powered, they searched the house, and took all the money out of my jacket, and some other property. I afterwards saw two hats and a gun produced, and I have no doubt they belonged to the prisoners. By Mr. CHAMBERS.—I was very much frightened, but lam sure the prisoners are the same men. I did not fall down while struggling to get the jacket, but I was knocked down by them. They had lighted a candle they found in the house, and I could see them by its light. By Lord ABINGER.—The men got in by forcing open the front door of the house. Anne Kent (the wife of the last witness). —I recol lect well the night of the 17th July. I saw the three prisoners when they rushed into our bed-room, and one of them opened a hatch or box, and pulled out my cloak. I said, " Heigh, my lads, what now ?" They made no answer. Willsher attempted to force the jacket from my husband, and when he tried to prevent them from doing so, they knocked him down several times. During this time the prisoner Orpin stood over me with a bludgeon ; and when I saw my husband knocked down, I said, " Don't hurt him ; take what you will, but don't commit murder." When I said this, the prisoner Orpin raised his bludgeon and struck me a violent blow on the head, and I was covered with blood. Cross-examined—The gun was not pointed at me. By Lord ABINGER—I had known the prisoners about the neighbourhood for some months, and I recog nised them the moment they came into the room. I did not cull them by name, because I was afraid that. if they found out that they were known by us, they would have murdered my husband and me. Lord ABINGER--I think you acted very sensibly. John Cole, the constable of Rochford, proved that upon searching a wood near the prosecutor's house on the morning after the burglary, he found two bludgeons and two old hats. He: also found a gun at the place where two of the prisoners lodged. He produced the articles he referred to. Some m o r t . h e c r h aco nfirmatory e addressed es vd s i ed e evidence having the Jury forbeenthe p a r d i: s d o u n c e e r d s ,. Lord ABINGER summed up. and the Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty. Hii LORDSHIP then addressed the prisoners, and said, that the offence of which they had been convicted was one of a most outrageous character, and it was one of the very few to which the Legislature s till a ffi xe d th e penalty of death. Her should mojes td y i , r s e n c l t e judgment wouldo of death to be recorded, and her pro bably be extended towards them, to the extent of sparing their liver, but it could only bo upon the con ditionfor th so at i, t ,l b ig ey as sl t t i o l u ey ld si b l e ou t i r d an i s ir p eo.r t e d to another coun try Sara h Hatch, ag.ed :25, a good-looking young woman, was indicted for feloniously exposing her female child to the inclemency of the weather, with intent thereby to kill and murder it.

MIDLAND CI RCUIT—NoRTILIairroN, July 21/ The Commission of Assize for this county was opened in the afternoon of Monday by Mr. Justice Litticdale, who this morning proceeded, accompanied by Chie Justice Tindal, to the parish church of All Saints, %bin. after hearing Divine Service performed, their Lordships adjourned to their respective Courts, and the business of the Assize began. There are thirteen causes, one a special jury, and on the criminal side are the names of twenty-one prisoners. Am ong t h e l atter wss the case of Joh n Holman, John Brea, and Thomas Vann, who were charged with killing and slaying the wife of the Rev. Richard Gardner, at Long Duckby. The circum stances out of which the charge preferred against those three men arose were rather singular. The Reve rend Gentleman above-named is the Curate of Long Buekky, and his lady had long been la bouring under a state of great r,ervous and on some occasion a short time ago a great noise and disturbance took place before the Rev. Mr. G;rdner's house, and some windows were broken in passing. Mrs. Gardner, who was in a very preca rious state, became greatly alarmed, so much so that her husband was obliged to go and see what was the mutter, which he accordingly did, ard, returning t• satisfy his wife that she need be under no i.pprehension, he found her a corpse. The grand jury ignored the bill. Nothing of consequence has Set transpired in the Civil Court. AN 0 A'?THERN CI RCUI T.--Yonr, Juiii - 2 I . CHARGE OF MURDER AT HUDDERSFIELD. Alexander ~11Tachlan Smith was indicted for the murder of William Duke, a police officer, at Heddelse field, by stabbing and cutting him with a knife. John Danson, also a police officer at Huddersfield, on the 28th of April last, when this occurrence took place, was on duty near the market-place when his ate tention was attracted by a noise et the sits!! of a person of the name of Lennard, a gardner, and on going to the spot he found Lennard and the prisoner disputing about a plant, which the l a tter d ec l are d h e had Purchased at the price of 24. Lennard alleged the price to be ls. 6d., and refs sect to permit him to take it away. They then had Loth hold of the plant, and the pri soner still refusing to let it go, Danson advised Len nard to go,befesse th_e_pagissrNtes, who were then, as he believed, still sitting in Petty Sessions. Tracy took the prisoner down to the lock-up, and went forward to the magistrates' room, but found they Are just gone. In the mean time the witness Danson, with the assist ance of Duke, searched the prisoner, anti took out of his pockets a large clasp-knife, a pocket-book, two ! pencils, and a snuff-box. The prisoner kicked at Duke several times, saying—" Damn you, I'll make you re member meddling with a Seotehman." A chain was procured, which was fastened to him by a shackle round the leg, and a handcuff on the wrist of his left arm. The plant was then wrested from him by the witness Lennard, and Duke, and he was put into the lock-up No. 4. This was about a quarter to fans o'clock. A little before six o'clock the - witness was in the house of the deceased with Dalton,another (aces, when the) heard a great noise proceeding from one of the cells. They went across the yard to the door of No. 4, when Duke flung the door open, saying, " You blackguard, what are you making all this noise about ?" The prisoner made some reply, and rushed out instantly. Duke ex claimed, " Do you see that ?" and ran towards his own house. Dalton and the witness ran a few paces. in the opposite direction. They turned on hearing Duke make some exclamation, and saw Duke with his back to the wall of his house, and the prisoner stabbing him with a knife somewhere about the groin. The wit ness rushed upon the prisoner, and they closed and fell. He then found himself wounded in the left thigh, the side, and the back. The prisoner said " D—n you, I said I would make you remember meddling with a Seotehman." Dalton finally 'got the knife from him. When the witness got up Duke was lying near theft' on the ground. Was himself nearly a month in the infirmary. Francis Dalton, another police-officer, was present when Duke opened the cell door. The prisoner was sitting on the lower part of the bed, at the further end, with his right hand behind him. He oame out with a spring life that of a cat. The witness gave a similar account of the death of Duke as that given by Danson. When the knife was taken from the psisoner be became quite quiet, and ceased to struggle. He cried out, I've done for two of them, I'll do for fifty more, and then England - will - be free." Caleb Wiliiams, manager of the Quaker's Lunatic Asylum, near York, examined the prisoner in the gaol, and thought his intellect was impaired, and his moral feelings perverted. He did not seem sensible of the serious nature of the crime charged .against him. He said he had had three communications from Jesus Christ that he was safe. Has had much experience in ewes of mania, and did not think these delusions were feigned. His Lordship summed up, and the Jury brought is a verdict, of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. A NAVAL VETERAN. Died at Stoke, Mr. William Doyle, late a super annuated boatswain of her Majesty's navy, aged A. This venerable man was the last, we believe, of those who sailed round the world with Captain Cooke. Re entered the navy when very young, and in 1776 railed from this port with the redoubtcd navigator, in the _Resolution, attended by Captain Clarke, in the Disco very, and was coxswain of the_ boat at Owliyee, Sand wich Islands, when Captain Cooke was killed, on Feb. 14, 1776, and has often detailed, with peculiar vivid c ness to his attentive auditors, that lamentable affray with the natives. He was boatswain of the Blanche, in that desperate fight with the Pique, in. the West Indies, when her gallant commander, Captain Faulkner, lost his lite ; and his brave first lieutenant, now 4.dmiral Watkins, swam with his sword in his mouth to board the enemy. He also served in the Atlas, in which ship he lost the sight of his right eye, and afterwards in the Maynilicent, where the other was injured. He was wrecked in the Crocodile, and by his exertions saved the lives of several persons at Salcuinbe sands, where he was eight hours in the water, and succeeded in saving the lives of Lady Berkley and her three children. He subsequently seined in the Bienfaisant, and was pensioned from that ship in 18e0 on account of his blindness. After using every (La to regain Lis sight, he wis advised to try the air of the west. Ih_s ) steer dingiy came to this place and remained till the tune of his death. He was a man gifted with extensive poteces of comprehension is the mathematics, and his extraordi • nary qualities have been often put bo a test by morn than one experienced naval officer. He was boatswain in the ship which took the celebrated scholar, Sir W. Jones, to India in 1783, by whom the deceased wee taken much notice of. Sir William discovered that Doyle was superior in knowledge to his compeers, and to this great man he was indebted for his knowledge in the mathematics. His person was particularly known to every one in the neighbourhood in which he lived, and his intelligence and effusions of humour have thousands of times served to amuse his gossipping neighbours. The deceased's life was one of extraordinary adventure. On one occasion, while with Captain Cooke, he accom panied a party on shore, but on their return to the ship, Doyle was missing, and his shipmates, after every possible search gave him up as lost, and there was every reason to fear, from the habits of the natives, that he had been murdered, probably roasted alive ; some time after, however, Doyle was seen on the beach, and on his being broeght off to the ship he displayed all the appearances of a native chief. Having strolled from his companions . , lie fell into the hands of the natives, and was taken off, but fortunately finding favour in the eyes of one of the daughters of the chief, his life was spared; ho was tattooed as one of the " Royal Family," and lived happily and comfortably enough for some days, when he had the satisfaction of seeing three pri soners taken and roasted for a feast. This was sufficient to show Doyle that his matrimonial Elysium might not be very lasting, and he contrived to make his escape. This served him on another occasion—while on a foreign station, orders to return to the ship were too frequently disobeyed, and the discipline on thit point was consequently drawn " taught." Doyle had, unfortunately, on one occasion, remained on shore too late for the last beat, and determined, being a good swimmer, to swim off to his ship, commanded by Captain Holloway, but, by some mishap, be mistook his ship, and got on board the Pegasus, then commarded by his late Majesty. Doyle was ordered to be flogged, but all hands were so surprised at the ornamented nature of his per son, that he was turned ashore. The next morn ing an explanation was given, and his Royal High ness was ever afterwards a friend to deceased. Doyle was severely wounded on several occasions, but his nearest escape was in a fracas on shore. The ship to which he belonged arrived at the time of a revel at Stoke, and, accompanied by two of the mates, they se sorted to this place of general amusement: When here, their attention was attracted by one of the Pri mitive Methodists, who were about this time first mak ing progress in the west, and who •was charitably offer ing, redemption to all, not even, said the preacher, " excepting a boatswain of a man-of-war." Whether this was personally applied or not, deceased did not stay to inquire, but jumping upon the platform on we preacher was placed, knocked the orator down. h This was the signal for a general uproar , and deceased re ceived two very severe wounds in the head.—Devon. port Telegraph. - of g uard ordnanceover them,en s andfor thet The London Times recently charged Sir Hussey vi‘;ilaonvinweitnhtpermitting artillerymenthe he denied by Sir Hussey, and the Ti Mrs found itself purpose em.)- of a political . breakfast in Dublin.
