mOST reapvcifully submitted tothe Public
the extremely bard ease of Mr THOMAS CHAP-
MAN, late of Soullswark.—Nearly thirty years ago he
discovered aid invented the means of making the Fur of the
South Sea Seal-skina available to our manufacturers. Pre-
vious to this important discovery, the valuable fur now
obtained from the seal by his invention, was made no use of
other than for manor, for the land. The Fur Seal-skins
were of SO little value, as scarcely to be worth the freight
of the ship. They were chiefly sold to the mom" at from
funr.pcisce to two shillings each ; they have siuce been sold
at 21. 5114 upwards per skits, and their Fur at eighty sha-
llop per pound weight. Immense quantities of Seal Fur
are yearly manufactured and worked up into hats. shawls,
awl cloth of great value. Numerous and various articles of
ornanieutal and comfortable clusbiug are also manufactured
fruits it ; and it is calculated, that from fifty So WIC hundred
thousand Fur Sral.skins have, ma average, been annually
imputed lord worked up sitter the time their Fur was by
Mr. Chapman first made available. Not having the mesas
in his poster, wise. be made this importaut discovery, of
securing it to himself, was the cause of his failure sail
pseseut distress. The public bath already benefited by it
to a great auttuout.
The friends of the above meritotions, but truly unfor-
tunate individual, hove deemed it advisable to solicit •
PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION, is the hope of raising a fund
• that may, is some degree, alleviate his sufferings. Through
severe illness and unavoidable misfortunes, he halls fur
some years been utterly with's°t the means of being able to
carry un the business he invented, established, and brought
tuts general use.—Advasseed age, sad the great affliction
occasioned by a severe rheumatic complete', which often
confine* him for two or three mouths at a lime, is the emote
of so much weakness, that he is rendered almost uufit sad
unable to pursue sissy business that will provide the means
of existence. Thus, be, who, by an ingeniusse aid skillet
discovery. bash been She cause of giving daily bread to
thutssoudo, who are employed in an entire new asautifeeture
in various branches, which alms occasions numerous *hippie(
and seamen to be employed—who traverse the most reams

many new and valuable islands, is himself, at an advanced
age, destitute of support.

ANIMAL FIDELITY.

On the Bth of February a cause was tried by the
Court of Assize of Ain in France, in which an
assiuin of a man named Fleurot was condemned
on evidence not unlike that of the famous Dm of
Monturgis. The circumstances were these :—The
wife of Fleurot was anxiously looking fur the re-
turn of her husband, whose unusual absence filled
her with leer, when about ten o'clock his dog
arrived covered with wounds and stabs, especially
in the belly, whence his bowels protruded. He
laid his fore paws on his mistress, whined mourn-
fully, licked her, and went to the door as if
inviting her to follow him. The woman instantly
conceived that her husband had been murdered.
and gave herself up to the guidance of the
dog, which conducted her to the place where the
crime had been committed, and expired. The
next morning the hat of Fleurot was found near
the Rhone. The spot where he had had his last
contest with the assassin was much trodden ; the
traces of men and of a dog struggling, were very
evident ; the rags with which the ground was strew-
ed, bore testimony to the courage with which the
dog had fought for his muster; and his wounds
and death chewed that after having defended him
at the expense of his life, this faithful animal ern-
ployed his last moments in avenging him.

On Thursday last, a man of the name of Ro-
DARTS, residing in Puck Horse-lane, whilst angling
in the river Eden, below Ann's-hill, earghi a spar-
row hawk ! thus :—He had hooked a bramlling, and
as soon as he threw it out of the water, a hawk, shut
had been hovering above. darted upon the fish.
seized it, and flew aloft. The hook, however, be--
caine fixed under the wing of the bird. and when
the whole of the fisherman's line bad been drawn
off' the wheel (shove 40 yards) the soaring of the
" feathered plunderer" was checked. After a short
excursion around the head of the astonished angler,
the hawk was pulled to the ground; and, in a mo-
ment, his state was changed from the freedom of
one of the " lordly tenants of the air," to the
mering captivity of a pannier.—(Scotch Paper.)

ception' not to strike the boy, on which angry words aflllllP.
and the Defendant said to the Plaintiff, " Every hotly knows
what you ate—you and your old lady go prowling about of a
night Su see what you can pick up. You buy &Wet, goods;
you keep your shop open to all boom of night for that
purpose." There words the Defendant agtio repeated out-
side Ike shop door in the presence of twenty or thirty per-
sons. The Plaintiff told him he should eitileavoar to punish '
hint for those expressions. The Defendant raid—" Aye, do;
try it on, soil then I'll prove it."
The Mastiff called two witnesses, who•fully proved the
words as above stated.

Mr. So/wire, for the Defendant, contended that this was
a paltry action, arising out of the impertinence cf a fleecy boy,
wanting the correction of his master, who, so far from hay-
ing given it, had abetted him in his misbiltsviour. The
language, he contended, was such es, in the understanding
of thow who heard it, conveyed no imputation on the Plain-
tiff; the words-used being mere angry expletives, the com-
mon parlance of Rag fair. It was a dispute which verilird
the old adage, that two of a trade could never agree. The
metaphor which the Thralldom had used, drawn from his
trade, try it on," sufficiently strewed that feeling, of
commercial jealousy were mixed up in the quarrel.
The Jui y found a verdict fur the Plaintiff—Damages, 51.

AGRICULTURAL PETITIONS.

Mr. BURRELL presented a Petition from the Occupiers
. of 20,000 acres of laud in the County of Sussex, complaining
of the agricultural distress.
Lord CHARLES MANNERS presented • similar Peti-
lima from the Occupiers of 38,510 acres of lead in the
County of Cambridge.
Lord MILTON said, he agreed with the Petitioners,
that if the House appointed soy Committee to inquire into
the nature of the agricultural distresses, such Committee
ought to be unrestricted; but he would go • little beyond
them and say, that it ought, in his opinion, to have its at-
teution directed in • particular manner to the state of the
taxation and it, operation upon agriculture. Fur when he
considered the enormous weight of taxer, to which ibis come-
try had never before been subject, which were imposed on
she country, for the purpose of enabling the Noble Lord and
his colleagues and their predecessors, to carry on the war
which they had pursued fur sn many years, be thought it im-
possible that taxation should not be found to be the rout of
the evils complained of. The imtssedtate cause, however,
was to be fumed in the Rill passed two years ago, forcing upon
the Bank au operation towards t he return lotion of cash payments.
That Act bad compelled the Bunk to diminish the amount of
the currency, which necessarily caused a reduction it the
prier of corm—(Hear, keor.)—lf they thought otherwise,
they were wilfully mistaken • and if they circulated an
opinion that, with a ditniiiistseil currency, it would be possi-
ble to raise corn to the prices of 1810, when the amount of
the circulation so much exceeded its amount at mutat,
they would be spreading delusion through the courtry.—
lf, therefore, they entertained may hope of relieving the
distress of the farmer, it must be by reducing the ex-
penditure mid the taxation, and not by sup other mea-
sure which might be intended to raise the prices. He
knew that many farmers thought that their distress was
owing to the inadequate protection they received from-the
,Corn laws. He believed it was now nearly two years since
any impartation had taken place • he therefore asked,
bow, under such circuninsuces, the Corn !Airs could
he complained of ? The "Alsace had the benefit, in cousr-
f those laws, of • sospeusiou uf the impartation
, of foreign grain fur two years, and therefore his difficulties
could au arise front may deficiency of the protection afforded
by thou laws. Unless the advocates of the cause of agricul-
ture in that House turned their attention to a reduction of
the expenditure and of the taxation, it was impossible that
any meuure for their benefit could be devised. He muck
doubted if any plan could be adopted uf 'coloring any tax
from the farmer, and imposing one of equal amount on any
other description of persons; because lie thought the pres-
sure a distress was general, sod that uo one class mold be
fumed mole able to beer any additio• to their burdens than
another. Those hordes, might be relieved by a resiloctiou
l of the expenditure. He was aware that there vrim one thing

quillity in consequence of the complete defeat of

tradictory reports at to Carrera's operations; be

daily becoming more popular both in this city and
in the country•.
" Our market is in as bad a state as the interior.
It is literally overstocked with every kind of Eu-
ropean, India, and particularly China goods, which
at retail will not bring prime cost is China. The

Bounding o'er yon blue tide, as I have skimon'd
The gondola along in cbilJi,.h race,
And, masqued as a young gondolier, amidst
My gay competitors, noble as I,
Raced for our pleasure in the pride of strength,
While the fair populace of crowding beauties,
Plebeian as patrician, cheeed us on
With dazzling smiles, and wishes audible,
And waving kerchiefs, mud applauding hands,
Even to the goal:—How many a time have I
Cloven with arm stilt lustier, breast more doing,
The wave all rougheied; wish a Osmoses's stroke
Flinging the billows back from my dreach'd hair,
And laughing from my lip the audacious brine,
Which kiss'd it like a winc•cup, rising der
The waves as they arose, and prouder still
The loftier they uplifted me; and oft,
In wantonness of spirit, plunging down
Into their green and glassy gulfs, and making
My way to shells and seaweed, all unseen
By those above, till they wax.d fearful; dies
Returning with my grasp full of sorb tokens
As show'd that I had search'd the deep: exulting,
With a far-dashing stroke, ■nd drawing deep
The long-suspended breath, again I 'pursed
The (pain which broke around me, and pursued
My track like a sea-bird,—l was a Iffy tbro.

THE LATE ✓oHN RING, ESQ.

The decease of this truly excellent mail, who expired a
fsw days ago, of an apoplectic stroke, at his house is
I.lllllon, has been announced lit the Coghalo and Scot.:it
papers, wills a general notice of his v•rioes and accent.
plishinents. We have, however, hesii favoured with the
following tribute to his memory, which we willingly insert.—
( Edinburgh Star.)
Mr. Ring was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons
in London, and of the Medical Sdcieties of London and
Paris Hr had beets a pupil of the famous Percivsl Putt,
and by fine natural talents, and an ardour to excel, attain-
ed to great eminence in his profession. He published se.
veral medical treatises, the chief of which is his work on
Vaccination. He was, besides, an elegant classical scholar,
and as enthasiestic lover of literature in general, which
furnished him with a delightful and dignified resource for
hie hours of leisure. These were few ; hut a mind like Mr.
Ring's could accomplish mild, in a short time. This pas-
sion for letters was the duke Itnimen, which soothed and re-
freshed him after the arduous and important labours of the.
day. He published, et first nunoymously, a poem called
the Commemoration of Handel, winch he afterwards acknow-
ledged, and reprinted two years ago, with some other pieces.
But Mr. Ring was ambitious of a higher and more dura.
ble fame; and, in January 1820, published his greatest
work—a Translation of Virgil, partly original sod partly
altered from Dryden and Pitt, accompanied with valuables
notes. Considerable portions of the Pastorals and Eneal
are his own composition; the Georgics lie translated &nee,
adopting only a passage in ilic first, and a line or couplet
occasionally from Dryden. This part of the work, ill peril.
ruler, is executed with a masterly bend, and wale lofty 3114
harmonious versification, combining the energy of Dryden
with the mellifluous smoothness of Pope. Before the
Georgics appeared in print, they bad been honoured with
the approbation of some of the first classical ecbglscs in
