LONDON. MONDAY. Novzsises 28, 1825.

The Brussels Papers of Saturday arrived last night.
They contain the following particulars of a dangerous ac-
cident which befel the Minister for Foreign .Affairs, at the

the ball given by the Court at Amsterdam :7

" At the mom:at when the dancing was going on with the
greatest spirit, and in the midst of the brilliant assembly, 111. de
&clock suddenly fell, through an apoplectic fit. All possible as-
sistance was immediately given, but in vain. It wag necessary to
carry him to his hotel. The next day he had a relapse, and when
be last accounts came away, he wu in the greatest danger. The
King and the Royal Family were greatly afflic.ei at this event.
1 t is affirmed that he is sines better."

The Journal of ell mbray says, that several young Belgians, in-
tended fur the Ecclesiastical profession, have entered the episcopal
miaow of that city. These young men are from the eiocescs of
Ghent, folalinti, and Tourney.

Yesterday we received Lisbon Papers to the 12th inst.
They announce the arrival of a vessel from Rio de Ja-
neiro, bringing intelligence of the conclusion of the nego-
tiation with Brazil. It does not appear, however, that
thii vessel was charged with any official communication to
the Portuguese Court, and when it allied from Rio, the
particulars of the arrangement between the two countries
were not publicly known. Excepting the paragraph we
subjoin, there is no notice of this important negotiation in
the Lisbon Gu:ette, nor any other political news.

LISBON, Nov. 7.

On the 4th inst. arrived dse Cardessa des Poote, Capt. Jose da
Silva Aurora, in I 4 days from Rio de Janeiro. The Captain
brings word that the RJyal Family were in petted health, that Sir
Charles Stuart had concluded his negotiations, and thee the result
was to be published on the 7th September t it was not known *bat
arrangements had been made, but some of the Ministers had de.
dared that every thing was settled in confoenaity with the 7ntero,ts
Of both countries.

Nov. 11.
His Excellency the Conde de Casaffores, Ambassador from his
Catholic Majesty to this Court, arrived bete yesterday.
Exchange on London, 62!.

It seems the fate of Ireland to find its worst enemies In
the forwardness of its most active friends. In their Im-
perial Senate—the CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION—Messrs.
O'Cown ELI. and SHELL, with other distinguished Chief-
tains, contrived to do as much evil to the Catholic cause
as the same number of actors could possibly do in the same '1
gi►en space. They have made it—or endeavoured to make
it—s cause in which every political adventurer may try hie
fortune. Mr. COBBETr, among the rest, stepped forward,
and was in his element : wherever a crowd of the desperate
and the discontented are gathered together, his delight is
to bib) the midst of them. Mr. O'Corrxret. and his fol-
lowers hailed their new ally with acclamation—the whole 11
conclave were prepared to worship him. As for
Conseir himself, lie seemed to have crucified the Old
Man. tad to have cast off all his old affections. The
subject of Cottage Economy was forgotten. Even the
eternal topics of turnips and straw-plat gave way to the
Reforsmatiox, and the Hies Mass. The Protestants—in
his picture of them—were no better than of-sets from the
true stock, and the Pore was the glory of the earth. But
unluckily, whether it was that he received no share of
the Catholic ftent—or from whatever else—he on a sudden
uobraced his drum, and would no longer beat up for re-
cruits. Presently this pious " Defender of the Faith" was
proscribed by the Catholic body as a traitor. Open hosti-
lities ensued—he fell foul of the great O'CONNELL, and
the great O'CONNELL, in his turn, fell foul of him. The,
weapons of abuse were exhausted on both sides; it became
a drawn battle, and the Catholics found out, when it was
too late, that they had courted the aid of CONBF.TT to their
coat, and that the only service he ever rendered their cause
was by deserting it.
IVith an imprudence quite inconceivable by men of
sound mind, the ASSOCIATION next notified to England
and to Europe that they had put themselves under the
guardianship of the Jesuits; and by this Conlviental'
aiiiance, they looked forward to the ultimate achievement
of their inthreudeore. In the anticipation of their new
power, they assume to regulate the notestant King of the

Netherlands as to the exercise of his dominion over his
Cdthdic subjects ! Can any deliberation Le, at this crisis,
store preposterous than this 1 Assuredly, on the score of
gratitude, the present Champions of Emancipation are not
running the nest generation into det;t.
Butes if theCtithelie cause bad not already suffered enough
from its auxiliaries, a new body of defi:ncicrs has sprung
up. The ett4rant rebels of 1798, and their descendants,
hare mobuthed themselves into a Society, in New York,
called " 'l he Friends of laiLuNu ;" and have published
an Address " to the Irish people; ;zealously recommending
that Ireland should break off'her connesion with Great Bri-
tain--tid herself of all religious esublishments—and this
being done, place the stnearies of het country on their true
republican basis. To the furtherance of these salutary ends,
they earnestly advise that " the CATHOLICS should make
commas cause with all the DISSENTIIIS in Engtand." They
are told " that they would then have the zealous support of
all unprejudiced Christians, and the
powerful and etilight-
cued body of English Dissenters, assisting and assisted,
would aid their triumph and partake their Victory." But
we can assure these "Friends of Ireland" that the great
body of English Dissenters have too much of sound wis-
dom, of real virtue, and of tried loyalty among them, to
listen to any such mad and foolish overtures. There is no
hope of enlisting them under the Catholic Banner. They
are not ambitious to cover themselves with that sort of glo-
ry. They estimate too well the value of moral liberty, and
of all those blessings which follow in the train of increas-
ing knowledge: they have too great a stake in the well-
being of that Constitution which secures their 'freedom,
and of those laws which protect their property, to intrigue
with any Irish faction for the restoration of Catholic supre-
macy, or to seek to better their condition by any share in
the triumph.
1 That the state of Ireland Is such es to call loudly for
improvement is certain; but the evils under which it
labours are not such as Catholic Emancipation can cure;
they arise out of circumstances wholly disconnected from
the extension of civil privileges. If these privileges were
conceded to the Catholics to the full extent of their claims,
the Irish people—as such—wculd gain nothing. If Mr.
SHCIL could be a King's Counsel, and Mr. O'Coxsiset.
Keeper of the Great Seal, not a single advantage would
flow from it to the great mass of the population. The door
of preferment would be opened to a ;ew Catholic Peers, and
to, perhaps, an hundred Commoners; but the great body
of the Catholics would remain precisely where they were.
They would neither be better housed, nor better clad, nor
better fed. The Irish peasantry would still find their sub-
sistence in potatoes, and the tithe-proctor would go his
usual round of exaction. It is to a redundant population, and
to a deficiency of mane torturing copi tal,l hat Ireland owes its
misery. Remove these disabilities, by furnishing ern ple funds
for the maintenance of labour—encourage industry by ade-
quate wages—make wheaten bread, if possible, and not po-
tatoes, the staple food of the country—and you will do
more for the substantial welfare of Ireland than can ever
be achieved by even the most successful struggle for any
other object. Let a CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION—the higher
in rank, and wealth, and influence, the better—combine to
promote these great ends; let them meet—and they cannot
then meet too often—to consult as to the best means of re-
moving that pressure of poverty which sinks the lower
classes of the Irish to the very depths of moral degradation;
—let them associate to give &let to all those measures of
policy which the great interests of Ireland so seriously die-
tate ;—let them be only half as anxious to open new chan-
nels of prosperity to their country, as they are to open the
career of honour and distinction to themselves—and they
will deserve to rank among its first Patriots, and to go
down to posterity as the best of Catholic benefactors.

CITV, SATURDAY ETLXIDO.

Another very heavy day of business has taken place in
English Securities, and Consols have again fluctuated, as
in the present state of the market we might naturally ex-
pect. Consols to-day were as low as 534 ; but a reaction
occurred, and they got back to S3l 4 for the account, and
the last price was ; the market having a heavy appear-
ance. Exchequer Bills were 6s. to 7s. discount.
The Foreign market was an object of no great attention
this morning, although some considerable bargains were
concluded in Colombian Bonds at the reduced price of
63, 21, and in Mexican 6 per Cents. at 661 e. The former
arc now above 7 per cent. lower than they were at the end
Blast week. The alarm, which has hitherto been confined
to the Stock Exchange, seems now to be spreading among
the public; and under the influence of the false and exag-
gerated statements of a portion of the daily press, persons
ignorant of the fraudulent artifices practiced upon them
are rashly transmitting orders to their brokers for the sale
of their Foreign Securities, which are in this manner forced
upon the market, and sacrificed at the rusnous depre-
ciation we have lately witnessed. Brasilian Scrip was
131 and Spanish Bonds 134. There was no quota-
tion for Greek.

The Share Market was again without any business de-
serving of notice.

A Leeward Island mail arrived on Saturday, but the
letters by it bring no news beyond the intelligence that a
good deal of rough weather was experienced at Tortola on
the 16th October. The letters from Grenada are dated
the 12th October. The latest dates from Antigua are the
14th. Several great fires had taken place, supposed to be
the work of incendiaries.

The Al!genuine Zeitung, of November 20, affirms that
letters received direct from Alexandria state, that the sail-
ing of the Turco-Egyptian fleet had been delayed by the
Viceroy, until he ascertained whether Lord Cochrane
would embark in the Greek war. This, however, we
have reason to believe to be untrue, as letters of a contrary
effect have been received in London. Advices from Trieste
say that nothing certain was known.respeating tha-Best.
GleaVirlatric E 0V En rite Dao.—The board of works
at Lisbon had given orders a considerable thne ago to repair
the fine bridge over the river Dao, near the town of Santa
Combs, which was blown up on the 20th S.:ptember 1610,
for the purpose of retarding the march of the French army.
This bridge being in the main road of communication be-
tween the province of Beira Alta and the cities of Oporto
and Coimbra, the destruction of it has proved a great incon-
venience. Notice is now given that this work is concluded,
and the bridge open to the public.—Lisbon Gazette.
We have received Caraccas Papers to the 6th ult. They
confirm the intelligence of an expedition in preraration
against Cabs. No late intelligence had been received in
Colombia from Peru, but the general understanding ap-
pears to be, en what grounds we know not, that Bolivar
will proceed to the Bands Oriental.
We have received papers from Barbadoes and the ad-
jacent islands to the 20th ult. They state that the Houses
of Assembly had met for the express purpose of reconsider.
ing the report respecting the amelioration of the civiliza-
tion of slave population. The Speaker read a communi-
cation from Lord Bathurst, complaining in strong terms of
the neglect of the Committee on this subject. The dis-
cussion in the Assembly was carried on with little temper.
We have received Trinidad Papers to the 2d ult. They
contain no intelligence of importance. A regress, named
Judy Brush, who some time since was not permitted to
purchase her freedom, had, on a new application, been al-
lowed by the Chief Judge to do so, the former objections to
granting her suit having been removed by her subse-
quer t conduct, and prompt obedience to the directions of
the Court.

COVENT-GARDE Ar THEATRE.

The Opera of Clan was eerformed at this theatre on
Saturday, for the first time since Miss Tree's retirement
from the stage. That lady has made a certain class of cha-
racters, both of the pathetic and playful class, so much her
man that it is dangerous to follow his% 111les Helme first
ventured to lead tht way as her successor, in the little part
of C'opp's niece, and Miss Paton has now followed in Cori.
The success of the first mentioned lady both as a debutante
end a successor to Miss Tree was highly nattering, and it
is satisfactory to add drat the effort of Saturday evening
was at least equally fortunate. 11iss Paton has of late dis-
played capabilities as an actress wh;ch hold out a promise
of adding fresh laurels to her fame as a singer. IVe do
not consider her exertions of Saturday night likely to de-
tract from her previous reputation in either capacity. The
songs were given with peculiar beauty of expreesion, and
such a degree of scientific execution as no other singer on
the English stage could impart to them. The personation
was also good, and if not so excellent as that of her prede-
cessor, at least highly creditable, and the effl•ct superior to
that producible by any other performer. Let Miss Paton
only proceed as soe has commenced, and we trust one day
to be enabled to compliment her with the title of the
Musical Siddons.

The Duke of Gloucester passed through Southampton,
,
on Friday morning, in his way to Poole, stopping a short
time at the Dolphin Inn. Ills Royal highness has been
invited, by the'Corporation of Poole, to a sumptuous ban-
quet, on his accepting the freedom of that Borough.
The Duchess of Gloucester continues in the full enjoy-
ment of health and spirits, at the Pavilion, Brighton.
Mr. Latchford, the King's Messenger, was sent off from
the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign AfLirs, on Fri-
day. night, with despatch( s for Sir Edward Thornton, the
British Ainbanador at Madrid.

iVe are happy to hear that the Hon. Admiral Sir Chsrles
Paget is doing as well as possible, though he gains strength
but slowly.—Pcrt.,mouth Paper.
Sir Hudson Lowe arrived at Frankfort on the 20th
instant.

REPRESENTA TION or Yonxsttt a E.—lt appears by the
Yorkshire papers that proceedings have been actively com-
menced in support of Mr. Fountayne Wilson, who oilers
himself as a candidate, oppcard to all further concessions to
the Roman Catholics. On Monday meetings were held at
Leeds and Bradford, when resolutions were passetl in his
favour. A second meeting was held on Thursday at
Leeds, where a requisition to M. Wilson is lying for
signatures. At Halifax a meeting was held on Saturday
to further the election of Mr. Wilson; and on Thursday
tome resolutions were passed at Wetherby, soliciting Mr.
Wilson " to stand forward in the Protestant cause."

FRENCH APPEAL.—On Friday, the Lords of the Privy
Council met at the Cockpit, Whitehall, to decide upon the
appeal respecting the claim to compensation by certain
Roman Catholic Colleges in St. Omer, Rouen, Douay, and
Paris, for the lames sustained by the destruction and con-
fiscation of their property, in pursuance of the decree of
the National Convention, passed in 1793. Lord Gifford
declared the judgment of the Council to be adverse to
allow any ,compensation to the claimants, and, therefore,
confirmed the judgment of the Commissioners.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is desirous of having
the opinions of farmers on the proposed investigation of
the Corn Laws. This wish has been made known to his
tenantry in Lincolnshire ; and as it evinces a liberality and
fairness so creditable to that geutleman, we have great
pleasure in making it known.—Dorteader Gazelle.
We understand that Mr. Hume has not yet left Edin-
burgh. He has been visiting the University, where he was
most politely received by the Principal and some of the
Professors. We hear that he Is to dine with the Lord Pro-
vost to-day, and the Lord Advocate to-morrow.—Edia-
burgh Paper of Thursday.
The Glasgow Free Fres: contains a correspondence which
contradicts, as " an abominable and malicious falsehood,"
the statement that Mr. Hume had offered to contribute,
'from his own purse, a sum to make up any deficiency in
the subscription for the piece of plate lately presented to
him by the colliers of Renfrew and Lanark. •
Tile formation of the new race-course hart commenced
at Lincoln ; and workmen arc busily empToTed in paring
and undcrdraining the line of running. From the meaner
-in which the ground is laying out, the course will probably
he one of the finest in England, both as respects con-
venience to the lipmtator, andatility in running and
making play to the horses.

A liit.of 'thirteen Banka in Devonshire has been posted
up, at a coach-office in this town, as having failed. We
will not repeat the names of the firms, as we do not find
any notice of such an event in the IVestern Papers which
we have reecivcd.—llempdare elrgraph.
It is a curious fact that private bankfTs are now dis-
counting hills at the rate of five rcr cent. interest per an-
num ; and if they are satisfied with the security, they can
rap a rich harvest by discounting the same bills through
the Bank of England at four per cent. It is repotted that
this has been carried into effect to a very large amount
Several Scotch bankers have met to deliberate abou
raising the internt of money to the old rate of five per
cent.

Notice, we re, is given of an application to Parliament
for making a new street, in a direct line from Waterloo..
bridge to Chatlotte-street, Bedford-square.

DISCOVERY or Matt. HORNE'S ellILD.—On Saturday
morning last, at ten o'clock, the constables of St. Pierre
Port, Guernsey, entered the Court with Mra. Home's
child. She was dressed as a boy, and had been living with
a Mr. Campourcey, a professee of the French language.
On Friday evening, Mrs. Home sentlor the eallel to come
and sleep with her, and at seven o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing removed her to the hous:. of Mr. Joint Brock, where
the constables repaired and took her into custody. She
was to be sent to Chiswick by the first vessel.
We are authorized to state, that a decision has been very
recently made, in the Archdeaconry Court of Winchester,
in the case of the Inhabitants of Farlington v. Gloyne, very
much at variance with universal Kamm and general opi-
nion—but such as demands the particular attention of
Parish Officers. The question was—Whether a rate made
for the repairs of the Parish Church, in the usual form and
manner, required confirmation by the Ordinary? And the
Court ecided that the rate in question was insalid without
such confrtnation.—We motet stand an appeal against this
decision is intencied.—Hampshire Telegraph.
On Friday evening, the 18th instant, a lamentable cir-
cutnstance occurred at the Ship Inn. Sandgate. Some
young men of the place were there drinking ; when getting
more merry than wise, began playing their jokes upon a
person Ly name John Burton, a middle.aged man, who, in
a state of extreme irritation, thrust a Large knife into the
abdomen of one of the party, a son of Mr. Page, sawyer.
Medical aid was immediately obtained, but little hopes are
entertained of the young man's recovery. Burton was the
next day taken before R. Hobtlay, Esq. Mayor of Folkes-
tone, and is held in custody, waiting the termination of his
brutal revenge—Kentish Gazette.

Tits CHILD or MYSTEAY.—Abont two years and a
half ago, a tine male infant, about four months old, was
placed to nurse by a lady and gentleman of apparently,
great respectability. The gentleman first called to vic.w
the situation, and, after inakiag many inquiries, said, that
he was satisfied. A day or two afterwards a well-dressed
female brought the child. wh!ch she said was four months
old. She remarked at the time that it was not her child,
but that of a friend who was ill at Brighton; but she SSW
she would often call to see it, and presented the nurse with
a sovereign, and a card of address should any thing be
wanting. The very respectable appearance of the parties
banished all suspicion from the nurse's mind, but on her
shortly applying according to the direction, no person hav-
ing called as promised, she discovered, to her utter astonish-
ment, that the card of address was a deception. In conse-
quence, she resolved to take the child to a workhouse, but,
.ortunattly fur the infant, the circumstance came under the
observation of Mr. Bishop, the principal officer of Newgate,
who very humanely undertook the charge of Maintaining
,he child, as much to snatch it from wretchedness as to un-
ravel the mystery that bangs over its origin. The boy 1.11
now a lovely and promising child. He has a very fair
complexion, and blue eyes, and must be nearly three years'
old : Mr. Bishop having had him under his care about tw.o !
years and a half; our attention having been drawn to dna
singular transaction, we haveludged it advisable to publish
this notice, in the hope that may lead to some discovery
aneficial to thedeserted Watt.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITSD STATES
AND THE DUKE OF Sgfili-WEIMAR.

Yesterday, at noon, Charles Jared Ingersoll, Esq., read,
in Dr. Cimman's spacious lecture-room at the University,
a very interesting discourse, 11% the Orator of the Society
for commemorating the landing of IVilliam Penn.—A
more intelligent and distinguished assemblage of our sex
could scarcely he collected within the same space anywhere
in the Unite.: States. It is to be regretted that the propor-
tion of ladies present was so small. On the same plat-
form with the orator were, the President of the United
States, the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, and the Judges of the
Circuit Court; and on the benches below several strangers
of celebrity, and a crowd of eitizmis eminent in the various
professions. When the President entered, the large au-
dience rose and greeted him twice with general acclamation;
and a like display of regard occurred when he was about to
retire. The discourse of Mr. Ingersoll consisted chiefly of
details on the progress and resources of Pennsylvania, and
illustrations of the merit of her principles and efforts. It
will, no doubt, be printed, for the gratification and instruc-
tion of the country.

The President dined yesterday with the Penn Society at
the Masonic Hall. Judge Peters presided at the repast,
which was brilliant and satisfactory in every respect. The
company exceeded seventy in number. Judge Peters pre-
faced the regular toast cf " The President of the United
States" with some tcrs: and complimentary remarks, to
which Mr. Adams replied in a short but emphatic address ;
expressing hie deep sense of acknowledgment and lively
esteem for the objects of the Penn association. He had
reason to be pleased with the manner in which he was
beard, and the correspondence of feeling that was univer-
sally manifested. The Duke of Saxe Weitnar, when named,
delivered a speech in French, that language being more
familiar to him than the English. It redounded highly to
the credit of this estimable stranger, in both its purport and
diction.—P.iiiiaddrhiu Parer, Oct. QS.

Extract of a letter from Paris.—" Much interest has
been excited here by a discovery which has been commu-
nicated to the Greek Committee ; it is a kind of infernal
machilie for the destruction of the Turkish lcets, and per-
fectly infallible in its execution. The great advantage of
it consists in its being employed by day as well as by night,
and without the necessity. of having persons to conthict it.
A dozen of them sent I;;:tinst a fleet at anchor smelt! en-
tirely destroy it ; and it is calculated that all the Turkish
navy might be destroyed at the cost of less than six hun-
dred thousand franes. This invention is by an officer of
the old army."
We have received Demerara papers to the 1 tth ult.
The colony appears to be thrown into a state of great agi-
tation by the trial of Mr. Dunbar Ferguson, a surgeon, fer
some years resident in Georgetown, for the crime of con-
veying away slaves, the property of Mrs. Cleary, a coloured
woman, from British Guiana to Nicarie (Surinam) in the
dominions of the King of the Netherlands. lie was con-
victed, and sentenced to be imprisoned for three years, and
kept to hard labour. This trial was the first under a very
new Act, which appears never to have been promulgated
in the colony. Private letters state that the weather was ex-
tremtly unfavourable, the country was everywhere parched
up and seerched, and the interior one body of flame, the
smoke from which made the town at times almost insup-
portable. A Philosophical Society was about to be esta-
blished ; the suggestion for its formation appears to have':
come from Sir 11. Davy; several specimens of the tat ural
productions of the climate have been sent to England.
The late dreadful fire in New Brunswick, though morel
destructive, is not the only one with which the province
has been visited, as a raging fire passed through the
country, according to Indian accounts, about the year
1737, which spread destruction to an immense extent.
GIVENAPPE Allele° ASSOCIATION.—The meeting of
the shareholders of this Company. which was to have been
hell on Saturday at the Auction Mart, has been postponed
till Wednesday, when the Directors have pledged them-
selves to lay before the shareholders a very satisfactory
statement of the affairs of the Company. A few persons,
however, assembled on Saturday, at the Auction Mart,
at the hour appointed by the original advertisement.
None of the Directors were present, and no business was
transacted. After spending two or three hours in private
and desultory conversation, the Meeting separated. The
Secretary was in attendance, on the part of the Directors,
to give any explanation that might have been required.
DISCOVERY EITRAORDINARY:A few days ago per-
-3011 residing in Scotland-yard wrote to Sir Humphrey
Davy, stating that he had made an important discovery in
chemistry, and requesting an interview, in order that he
might explain the particulars thereof. The President of
the Royal Society, ever interested in the progress of natu-
ral knowledge, immediately granted the interview required,
and it accordingly took place, The stranger was scarcely
seated, when he announced that he had discovered a pro-
cess of analysis, by which water could be resolved into a
single element. •` Most extraordinary, most important,"
replied the astonished, yet half incredulous President, "are
you assured that your analysis has been conducted with
sufficient accuracy ?" " Meat perfectly assured. My
process of analysis is to generalise the term oxygen, 60 N 6
to comprise under its signification that which has hi-
therto been called hydrogen. In this sense of
the term, it is universally true that water is a sim-
ple substance, consisting of oxygen alone."—lt would
be difficult to describe the expression of counte-
nance with which the Presiel.nt of the Royal Society
heard this abeam areanum announced. The stranger con-
tinued, " Your analysis of the alkalis and the earths, and
your discovery of so many new metals, are nothing to the
wonders I can perform. 1 can convert tinsel into dia-
monds, and transmute brass into gold; I have obtained
such a mastery over language and logic, that I am able to
demonstrate with equal facility that every proposition is
true; or that every proposition is false." Str Humphrey
Davy rang the bell, and ordered a servant to see the gen-
tleman safely home, and to desire his family to send for a
physician.
RESTOZATION OF STOLEN NOTES,—II will be in the
recollection of our readers, that some months ego a gen-
tlemen was robbed of bank-notes to a large amount at Ile
Auction Mart. where he attended for the purpose of pur-
chasing an eitele, and the subsequent prosecution and ne-
quittal of a p.rson of the name of Palm. Notwithstand-
ing the failure of this prosecution, Mr. R.'s efforts hare
been unrelaxed to trace the notes, and at length he be-
came possessed of a chain of proof of guilty knowledge
and participation in the proceeds of the robbery, impli-
cating several persona who have hitherto carried themselves
erect on the Royal Exchange. Intimation having been
given to the parties, they, after a few days hesitation, re-
stored the full amount of the property, leaving this gm-
tleman, however, minus leis expenses on the Continent in
search of his lost property, and those attendant en the
prosecution of Palin.—Sandal Paper.
VIOLATION OF A CLICACH-YARD.---00 Thursday week
two young men were riding in a gig, on the road from
hardens to Longformacua, in the county of Berwick, and
appearances indicating that they belonged to the fraternity
of body snatchers, they were stopped that an examination
of the gig might be made. The men forthwith fled across
die moors, leaving the gig and horse behind them • and in
the gig was found the body of an old man, which had
been buried in the church-yard of the neighbouring Parish
of Edrom, on the Ist of the month. On Tuestlaw the
15th, a person from Edinburgh came to Dunse and claim-
ed the horse and gig in which Mackall's body was found ;
on hearing of this, several hundreds of the town's-people
assembled and broke up the house where the gig was stand-1
ing, carried it through the town, and after breaking it to
p'eces, they burned it in the market-place. The Sheriff
came to the spot and read the Riot Act, and took a list of
the names of the most active.—Searman.

LiveRPOOL, Nov. 28.—The mail to and from London

further resolved—

" That they should make tbe'r report to en aijourned meeting

The result will no doubt he, that a vast sum of misery
will be found, and a subscr'plion. we ir.pe a liberal ors.

THE TVALWoR77I GHOST.

3,412 bag.

Oa Saturday, Snow, ee constable of Newington, introduced an
elderly man and his son into the police-office, saying',
he oedematal that they had a singular application to prefer, the fus-
tian of which he did not really comprehend, but it sm. something
connected with the rumour of a ghost, believed by the credulous to
haunt some houses recently erected in Hamplomstreet, Walwarth.
Hellen Hedger. Esq. the Magistrate before whom the appli-
cants appeared, desired to know what gave rise to so ridiculous a
story.
An elderly man now advanced to the table, and detail-
ed the following particulars :—lle had been a hard-working man,
he said, and by great economy had acquired some property.
Being desirous of investing Ilia money securely, he purchased some
land la Hampton street, Walworth, upon which he erected
Peseta Eder bowies. having procured some respectable tenants
he had asaicipated reaping • golden harvest front his spectla-
don, but he was now apprehensive, that instead of its proving
benefkial, it would be the reverse, and that ton, arising solely from
the ill-nature of sonic persons to whom his bousis ;rue a lancied
ere.ettre. In ottl.r to render his tenants uncomfortable, and in-
du:e them to quit their habitations, a scheme of perpetual annoy.
once had been adopted. As soon as it was dark, missile% such
as smell pieces of ru.,bish, were thrown at the sindows and doors
of the houses, and the inmates had in vain endeavoured to discover
the individuals who thus disturbed them. Complaints are rightly
made of this description. and the windows had been broken over
and over again. He and Lis son had kept nightly watch, they
heard the stones nod other Clings pass over their heads but could
not l- am who threw them. As there were several housea close by,
and some high walls, no doubt some person was secreted there for
the mischievous purpose. So long a watch having been kept with.
out discovering the author of the annoyance, an idle tumour now
prevailed, that the whole work was accomplished by supernatural
agency, and many superstitious people were inclined to give cre-
dence to the ridiculous representation —Snow here placed before
the Magistra.e a basket full of stones and a pair of old shoes,
which he said had all been thrown at the houses in question.
The Magistrate inquired what the owner of the house wished
to he done ?

I am anxious, replied the applicant, to have a summons
against a young woman who lives near my dwelling, and whom I
strongly suspect to be concerned in the transaction.
%Vila arc your grounds of suspicion ? asked the Magistrate.
These shoes. replied he, which were found thrown at the door
by my sot a eight or two back, exactly correspond with those
which she wore when asked to compare them.
Snow now observed, that the morning after the shoes were
found he went and questioned the young woman, and on compar-
ing the shoes with those she then had on, titer corresponded
s:ze and shape. Rut her mistress declared that she was never from
her presence on the evening that the shoes were cast at the house,
to that it was impossible to bring home the charge to her ser-
vant.

The applicant pressed very much for a summons agetnst this
young WORIA:1, but the Magistrate W9UIII not grant one. flis Wor.
ship, however. advised him to be vigilant, and he would soon dis.
cover the author of the mischief.

Snow now remarked, that be had often apprehended people
suspected of theft, but never any one reputed to be endowed with
supernatural powers. If he once seized the ghost, he added, it
would not Easily 'finish front his sight.

The old insuinnl his son then ri.Tired.

FRAC/M:LENT ♦xD CONCFALMENT OF
BANXRUFT'S PROFERTY.—It will, perhaps, be in the re-
collection of our readers, that in the month of August last,
Richard Thewlis, of Huddersfield, ironmonger, was com-
mitted by the Commissioners under his bankruptcy to York
Castle, for fraud and gross prevarication, on his examina-
tion, touching the discovery of his estate and erecta. On
Tuesday last, in consequence of information obtained by
the Solicitors to the Assignees, a search warrant was issued
against Jonas Haywood, of Bradley, farmer (brother-in-
law to the bankrupt), and two others ; and on going to the
premises, a large quantity of goods (part of the bankrupt's
stock in trade, Slid which had been fraudulently removed
from his premises by night, a short time previous to his
bankruptcy), were discovered, concealed in different parts
cf the premise!, same of them being secreted in the house,
others amongst hay and straw in the stable and barns,
others in an opening under the barn tiger, and several
valuable articles buried in two large holes in the earth, dug
for the purpose, in the garden and in an adjoining field.—
Leeds Mercury.
On Tuesday night last the French silk warehouse of
Messrs. Depoully, Nourtier, and Co. in Bond-street, Man-
chester, was broken into, and a quantity of fancy silks,
amounting in value to fifty or sixty pounds, cut from the
looms in the weaving-room. The robbers had gained ac-
cess to the warehouse by getting upon the roof of one
of the new buildings at the bottom of Mosley-street, by
means of a ladder which was left in it, and then passing
over the roofs of the houses, until they came to that at the
corner of Bond-street, formerly occupied by Mr. Gumpel,
and row by Mr. Bannerman, and which forms part of the
same building with thesilk-warehouse. They got through
a window into Mr. Ilanne►man's attic, without being beard 11
by the family ; and then broke through a thin partition
into the attic of the silk warehouse, and forced open two or
three doors before they could get into the weaving-room.—
There were two dogs on the premises ; but, unfortunately,
they were abut up in the cellar, where it was supposed the
greatest danger existed. Nothing has yet been heard of
the property.—Manehester Guardian.
