MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

Yesterday, about roar o'clock, as Mr. Pratedley, cheese-
monger, of Lewisham, was returui•g home from Smithfield
market is a spring cart, business obliged him to stop at
Mr. Cutlet's, coca-dialer, Flert.nsaikel. Daring the time
he was within the horse and cart was standing at the dour
he came uut to put the bridle on the horse, the rein, of
which were banging on its nick, when the horse took fright
and ran down liriihre.atreet, Blackfriars, as last as it pos-
sibly could. Mr. Fragedley caught bold of the shafts and ra■
with it, with intent, if possible, to stop it. It bad sot gime far
whin the cart came in contact with a waggon, and the unfor-
tunate man was daslwil against the liar stones. His skisil was
fractured, and the blood Booed profusely about the street.
ilia ruin were resu broken. He was taken up almost lifeless,
and conveyed to • druggist's shop sitar ihe spot, and three
surgeons immediately attended and viewed the body. Feely
effort was made to restore animation, but without effect. The
unfortunate man expired in a few minutes. The spring of
the cart was broken with the sudden jerk. The Envie
was soon stopped: the animal did not appear to he of high
spirit, nor is it kilogram what made it start. The deceased
has left a wife sad family to lament his loss.

The followiag most awful instance of the uncer-
tainty or human life occurred at the house of ABRA-

HARVEST, 4-c.

Harvest is now geseval throstgleust Ike smestry, and pro.
mime to be very alradant. A geld of barley wee mimed in
this weiglibourhood within throe few days, which meet be pro.
duelist in a very extraordinary degree, many Malts haviug
two beads of nearly the nasal bearing. The weather has on
the whole bees favourable, with the exceptio• of a few days,
particularly Thersday last, when, after some distant thunder
in the south.east quarter, it rained very heavily for near 12
hours, rustically pouring in torrents, bat without a very
spa ble change, the harvest must be early.—(Aberdeme
PaPer.l
The hopes of the farmer have revived somewhat, from the
circumstance of a small ad in the price of cattle, at
some of the late fairs, particularly at Marrone Fair of Elton,
held on Wednesday last, where there was some demand for
cattle, at an advance of from 12 to 15 per cent.
There was a fise spew of cattle at the Muir of Old mar.
1 ket held last week. The demand was rather Irish, and a
considerable number were sold. Prime slots brought six
guineas, but the average price did not emceed two guineas
and a half.

There was little done al the Inversive market held last
week, owiag to the harvest being much earlier ►hen in ordi-
nary seasons. Butter sells at 15s. to 18s., and cheese at
44. to ss. pe► stun,.
Owing to the farmers being anxious to have their harvest
concluded as moos as pomade, She Rather!lea Fair, held nes
Friday, was hut thinly attended, and i.ei she, of cattle was
very limited. The few fat cattle brought forward sold at the
prima given in the report of the Monday's markets. Mitch
cows, newly calved or just al the calving, between six and
eight years old, were in regatta. Ohl brought from 8!. to 101.
A dealer from the west country asked 12/.121. for same very
superior beasts. A amber of fee little cows, which would
feed to about 18 stows, sod two months calved, were pur_
chased for shoat 81.—( Edinburgh Paper.)

LONDON,
FRIDAY, SBp-rBsissa G, 1822.

The Paris Papers of Monday have arrived in due
course •t our office. We find in the. Anti de la
Charle a version of the tumults at Nantes, very dif-
ferent from that which we extracted yesterday
from • ministerial Paris journal. We were by
that statement taught to believe that a seditious
tumult had arisen in Nantes, excited solely by
the spirit of Carbonarism, which seeks to de-
stroy the whole fabric of social order, and that
in this tumult the cry of " Napoleon IL!"
was heard. We ridiculed the story as a fabrics-
lion, and we now find that we were perfectly right
io refusing credit to so suspicions an account. Our
readers will find under the head of " Paris Pa-
pers." an address to the Mayor of Nantes, signed
by 165 inhabitants of the town, representing the
very atrocious conduct of so officer of the Swiss
guards stationed in Nantes, who deliberately caus-
ed his troops to charge twice upon the tioarmed
multitude, solely on account of some displeasure
excited in his mind by the remonstrances of a mer-
chant at his cruelty towards a person whom he was
dragging to custody. This ruffian was coolly pro-
ceeding to command his troops to load, for the
purpose of firing upon the people, when complaint
was made to the proper authorities, and • means
were adopted to prevent further mischief. These
are the facts of the case as they are detailed in
a solemn act of several respectable merchants and
other inhabitants of Nantes, and they are as little
calculated to justify the impression sought to be
crested by the first account as can well be
imagined. It is not improbable that no very kindly
feelings subsisted previous to this trausaction be-

BOARD OF HEALTH, AUGUST S.
A Report from the Resident Physician, of August 4, 1821,
Ise o'clisek, p. n. was received as follows :—.The Resident
Physicists reports Mrs. Naplithali Phillips, sick with yellow
fever, at the corner of Broadway and Chamber-street, The
family of Mr. Phillips resided at No. 98, Greenwich-street,
the 4th door mirth of Rector-street, from whence they removed
nu Tuesday, the 30th ult. to the cornet of Broadway and
Chamber-street. Mrs. Phillips sickened on Thursday, the
Ist inst. and died on Monday asorsiog the sth inst.
By order of t►e Board,
J. MORTON, Clerk.
A number of eases of fever having occurred in Rector.
street and Its immediate vicinity, and it being the opinion
of the Board that the atmosphere of that section of the city
is uolavourable to the health of its inhabitants and others
who may resort to it, they hereby advise and recommend,
that all persons residing or doing business in Rector-street,
between Lumber and Washington-streets, or its vicinity,
remove therefrom forthwith, and that they and all others ab-
stain frost resorting to the aforesaid d'Atriet ; and it is
further recommended, that the citizens generally cause
lime to be thrown in their privies, and also in their gutters
ins front of their mpretive houses, and use every means in
their power to remove from their premises every cause
of infection and nuisance, and to keep their cellars nod yards
dry sod dose.
By Order of the Board of Health.
STEPHEN ALLEN, ['resident.

/*AHD OF HEALTH, Atiourr 7.
The Assistants begged leave to report that they
have discovered no new asses of fever in the infected
district, since last Report.
Aldermarr TAYLOR moved that the infected di..
trict be fenced up, and considerable discussion en-
seed, particularly as it regarded the bounda-
ries, &c.
Aldermen FAtaus and PAULDING, and Dr.
QUACKENDOSS opposed the motion on the ground
that for so little cause the Board would not be jus-
tified in striking so heavy • blow to the commerce
of so large a district.
The MAYOR and mover were in favour of the
motion. The former had proposed it on the Ist
instant. In other cities, and in 1819 in this city,
such • course was attended with the best conse-
quences. To be sure, the physicians were then all
agreed as to the disease. Now "doctors disagree ;"
but all unite in saying, that the atmosphere in that
district is impure and dangerous.
The motion was carried, and the following dis-
trict ordered to be fenced up:
Rector-street at the intersection of Lumber.
street, Greenwich-street, at the southern intersection
of Lumber-street ; Washington-street. from Pier
No. 3, sod including Pier No. 4; Greenwich-street,
st the intersection of Carli,le-street; and Washing-
ton at the intersection of Carlisle.

BACK AND FORWARD.

On the 16th last John Townsend, the cele-
brstrd Sussex pedestrian, walked SO miles, one
half backward and the other half forward, in thir-
teen successive honrs,on a half-mile piece of ground,
between Monk weartnonth and Fulwell, which ex-
traordinary feat he completed 48 minutes within the
time.

The system of moving one half backward and,
the other half forward, is in the fashion of the age;
and the retrograde motion, which our ancestors
were deplorably ignorant of, silly souls! seem* to
have the preference. Our Government have long
evinced a loutishly for similar sports of the fancy.
Even Judge Blackstone was of opinion that, if our
national energies were pusliedfuncard by the Bill
of flights, the Act of Settlement, and the doctrine
of resistance, we were soon driven as far backward
by the Crown influence, augmented by the Riot
Act, the increase of the national debt, and the (Its.
bursement of additional millions for its mansge-
ment, and the liquidation of its interest. Our Mi-
nisters have what they calla slaking fund, or surplus
revenue of five millions a year to pull usforicord
but then, to keep up this *hew of finatici.l pros-
perity, we have to pay an annuity pension cnt..
cern of five millions, to pull us backward. Thus
it it by industry and hard tugging Mr. Juin
Bull no sooner gets forward a mile or two on the
road to prosperity. than io steps the taxgathere,,
and pulls him backward with u jerk. John grum-
bles a little ; but hearing something whispered
shout " national honour—interest of deht—the
altar—the constitution—the throne"—he begirt
his toil again in rather !leiter humour, and
shortly re-encounters his only invincible foe, the
tax-man, who stops him short with a "

Tithe, the parson ; and the rest of them ;"—and
with that he politely shuffles him backward to his
quondam dependency. A growl or two follows—
John hears the noisy prattle of his children—is toltt
that folks in other countries have niorf to complain
of. " Mayhap it is so !" quoth John—ami-so he

ENGLISH ACTORS IN PARIS.

A friend of literature may now have the pleasure
of making interesting comparisons between oni
stage and that of our neighbours, without exposing
himself to the danger of lusing a leg or au arm.
The Vandals have disappeared ; the representations
in the Rue Chautereive are now attended by true
Frenchmen, and never will it enter into the 'magi.
nations of Frenchmen, that is, of men belonging to
the most civilized, the most generous nation in the
world, to stone seers and actresses to death, be-
cause they say heart, instead of mar and lace, in
place of amour. We have, however, some food to
find with these British artists; with the exception
of the- School fur Seaadal, which is played with
great applause in England, they have not given us
any classiest performance. Let not any person be
offended ! we allude to those works which will hr
found in the hands and impressed ou thememory rf
all those to whom the English language is fanlike.
The actors of Mr. Peeiley's company ate very supe-
rior to what they were at find supposed ; to be coo.
vinced of this. it is sufficient to listen to them
attention, and to consider all the disadvantages of
the circumscribed space in which they repreffle,
pieces which would require continual change. of the
scene.—laszeite de Framer.)

At any other time so formal a refusal to obey the

The Court of Sardinia has lately proposed to

falcons channel for the exportation of Swiss manu-
facture. On the other side the Serdiniso States
are equally in waist of Switzerland to dispose of

TO THE PUBLIC.

Tar Batumi Paw hating been transferred into the hands
of new Proprietors, they feel it a duly incumbent an
them, while they announce the clumsy*, respectfully to
address a few observations to the Public generally, but
more especially to those who continue to honour this
Journal trills their patronage. Of its future manage-
ment prudence dictates a cautious silence. Excited ex-
pectation may issue in disappointment. Experience has
evinced the folly of splendid professions and pompous
promises. An intelligent English Public will estimate
the merit of every Journal by its intrinsic worth. This
is the only infallible criterion of desert ; and to this test
the Conductors of Tun BRITISH Palle mud, in
common with other Journalists, submit to appeal.
If to aspire to public approbation were to deserve it—
if to be ambitions of success were to attain it, they
are confident that their most sanguine anticipations
would be amply realised. But hopes and desires, if
unaccompanied with exertions effective of their object,
they are well aware, must be fruitless and usiewailing.
Reluctant, hoverer, as they ars to stake professions
and promisee, they feel they should be chargeable nith
treachery to the cause which it is their ambition to
espouse, if they omitted to express, im the most emphatic
terms, their zealous attachment to the interests of civil
and religions liberty ; their dread and detestation of all
rash and violent innovation; and their unalterable
determination to advocate those principles of constitu-
tional Reform, wherever it is required, by which
economy may be promoted, our representative sys.
tem improved, and that political freedom extended
and secured, which every Briton feels to be his most in-
valuable pertinent', and which he is, by Use most eacred
obligations, bound to assert and defend as kis indefeasible
inheritance.
