PATHETIC NARRA7#E.

The rsmarkably fine bells of Limerick Cathedral were
originally brought from Italy ; they had been manufactur-
ed by a young native (whose name tradition has not pre-
served), and finished after the toil of many years; and he
prided himself upon his work. They were subsequently
purchased by the prior of a neighbouring convent; and
with the profits of this sale, the young Italian procured a
little villa, where he had the pleasure of hearing the
tolling of his bells from the convent cliff, and growing
old in the bosom of don.estit happiness. This, however,
was not to continue. In some of these broils, whether civil
or foreign, which are the undyint worm of a fallen land,
the Italian was a sufferer amongst Many. He lost his all;
and, after the passing of the storm, found himself pre-
served alone amid the wreck of fortune, friends, family,
and home. The convent in which the bells were hung
was razed to the earth, and there last carried away into
another land. The owner, haunted by his memories, and
deserted by his hopes, became a wanderer over Europe.
His hair grew grey, and his heart withered, before he
again found a home or a friend. In this desolation of
spirit, he formed the resolution of seeking the place to
which those treasures of his memory had beets finally
borne. He sailed for Ireland—proceeded up the Shannon—
the vessel anchored in the pool, near Limerick, and he
hired a small boat for the purpose of landing. The city
was now before him ; and he beheld St. Mary's steeple,
lifting its turreted head above the smoke and mist of the
Old Town. Ile sat at the stern, and looked fondly to-
ward it. It was an evening so calm and beautiful as to
remind him of his own native skies in the sweetest time of
the year-.-the death of the spring. The broad stream ap-
peared like one smooth mirror, and the little vessel glided
through it with almost a noiseless expedition, On a sud-
den, amidst the general stillness the bells tolled from the
cathedral—the rowers rested on their ores, and the vessel
went forward with the impulse it had received. The old
Italian looked towards the eity, crossed his arms on his
breast, and lay back in his scat; home, happiness, early
recollections, friends, family—were all in the sound, and
went to the heart. When the rowers looked round they
beheld him with his face still turned towards the cathe-
dral, but his eyes were closed, and when they landed-
-1/4-y found him cold !!

The English Money Market was rather worst
st i Satur-
day than it was on Friday, although it was ng day.
Consols for Money were done at 9311 ; and for the Account
at 941 93,1. The Foreign Market was lively throughout
the day, and the prices for the most part steady. The
Spanish Bonds were firm at 214 ; Mexican Scrip. 1823, ;
Brazilian ditto, 44, and New Greek Scrip 44. The Mining
and other Shares generally maintained their prices. The
Pasco Peruvian declined a good deal, being at one time as
low as 33, and the Patent Briek was worse ; with these ex-
ceptions prices were firm. Indeed the l'ascos for some days
have been in such a constant state of fluctuation, that they
afford no criterion of the condition of the Share Market.

UNION-HALL.

DIITIEISINO CASE.-012 Saturday last. a man of respectable
appearance, who save his name John In/tiaras, was brought up
charged with having stolen a feather bed from a shopkeeper in
Southwark. Great compassion was excited in the office by the
prisoner's appearance, who, it appears, was in the very depth of
distress when he committed the act.
An account of the robbery having appeared in one of the news.
papers, a gentleman named lhibois attended at this office yesterday,
and said, that on reading the Pollee Report in which the above
case was mentioned, he telt strongly interested in the fate of the
unfortunate man, who. it would appear, from the statement he had
perused, was actually in a state of starvation when apprehended
with the stolen property. Mr. Dubois then requested that two
sovereigns might be forwarded to the prison for his relief, and that
inquiry might be made as to whether he was an object deserving of
such assistance. Mr. Staples, the chief clerk, by direction of H. J.
Cuastaxits, Esq. the Magistrate, proceeded to Horsemonger-lane
gaol, and had an interview with the prisoner, who gave the follow.
ing account of his unffirtunate and destitute situation :—lle had
until the last six months been in most respectable business in
.Manchcster, but being reduced, in consequence of unavoidable
misfortunes, he came to London about nine weeks ago, for the
purpose of seeking a situation, but not succeeding in his object,
he was distressed beyond measure, and compelled to pledge every
article of clothes lie was possessed of, to obtain victuals and a lodg-
ing- This resource was soon exhausted, anti he was then turned out
of his lodgings, and for the last twelve nights pssvious to the rob-
bery, which he admitted he was guilty of, he had not slept in a bed,
but was necessitated to lie out in the shambles of Covent-garden
and Elect-markets, exposed to the bitterest nights. Being driven
almost to a state of desperation, he at length resolved upon com-
mitting a robbery, as the means of sending him out of England, to
a country where at any rate he could not endure worse privations
than those he had experienced in his own, and accordingly lie com-
mitted the theft which lie now stood charged wit:'. The prisoner,
on being made acquainted with the humanity exercised towards
him by Mr. Dubois, snit!, that he had given a fictitious name
when brought up to Union HMI, to prevent the disgrace to his family
of being publicly known as the relatives of an unfortunate felon ;
his real name being John NV Hiram Jones.
Mr. STAPLES, upon hearing the recital of his misfortunes, and
conceiving him to he an object of commiseration, put into hie
hands the two sovereigns which were so humanely subscribed br
Mr. Dubois, for which the prisoner returned his runt grateffil
acknowledgments. He will be tried at the ensuing Assizes foe the
County, on the capital charge of stealing goods in a dwelling-house
alsove the value of 40s.

A TTAIMPTED SUICIDE.—On Monday evening, an unfor-
tunate young woman went to the shop of Mr. Mou, chymist and
druggist, in the High-stmt, Cheltenham, and asked for some lau-
dauum, and under some plausible pretence she obtained half an
ounce, which was delivered to her in a bottle properly labelled
" Laudanum," in large type, and she retired. She had not pro.
ceded far before she was observed to draw the cork, drink the
contents, and throw the bottle Into the street. It was picked up by
a young man, who immediately pursued her, and on being asked
what she had done ? she replied, " Oh, come along, my love !"
She was then charged with having swallowed the laudanum, and
burst into tears, but expressed her determination to tile. She re.
fused tl take any antidote, declaring, that even if they succeeded in
saving het life in this instance, she would ultimately effect her fatal
purpose. An emetic was at length administered by violent means,
and she was thus rescued from destruction. It was ascertained
that the unfortunate creature was driven to this desperate act by
distress and wretchedness. She was destitute of home, of shelter,
or of food, and her last penny was expended in purchasing the lau.
danum.—GLacester Journal.

IN TAT MATTER OF PETER LEGOILL ERE, A R•JCRIJ PT.
This bankrupt petition was specially appointed for to-day, and
Mr. HEALD and 31r. Mop! TAO U Sppeltaln support of the appli-
cation. The petition was that of the rapt himself, which
stated, that he was, about the beginning of the present year, com-
mitted to Newgate by the Commissioners, on the ground of mis-
conduct, and was to take his trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions,
on an indictment preferred by the assignees. provided tins Court
did not interfere, and the pram was, that the Commissioners
should be ordered to give him another opportunity of appearing
before ti6em, to mak* It full disclosure of his affairs, &c. ; the
Commissioners had been applied to for a further examination, but
had refused.
His LORDSHIP said, the shortness of time (the Sessions be-
ginning either to-day or to-morrow) caused great inconvenience,
but nothing could more imperatively call upon the Court to act,
than the circumstance of a subject's life being in danger. He
would take kir. Hart's affidavits, which he would read to-night,
and inform the agents on both sides of the result to-sorrow
ing if they would attend him at the House of Lords.

GARRATT, MAYOR.
A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAMBER
of the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on
Wednesday, the 16th day of February, 1325,
RESOLVED,
That this Court have observed with great satisfaction, the assur-
ances contained in his Majesty's Speech from the Throne, together
with the Declarations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, respect.
ing the general prosperity of the country.
And, relying with confidence that such encouraging sentiments
will lead to the repeal of various Taxes, and especially to such as
have been deemed most oppressive and vexatious in their operation.
And knowing the patience with which the people have borne the
heaviest burthens in times of national peril and difficulty, they feel
themselves bound to represent to the Honourable the House of
Commons, that the Assessed Taxes, especially the House and
Window Duties, have been grievously felt by the Middling and
Lower Classes of Tradesmen ; nor can they believe that the reduc-
tion of Duties upon any Articles of Luxury will afford those suis-1
mantis' Benefits to the Community which would immediately vault
from the Repeal of the House and Window Taxes.
That the Collection of these Assessments is attended with heavy
Charges, by the appointment of Collectors, Inspectors, and Crown
Officers, and that the numerous Surcharges and Appeals which
arise out of this System, occasion the most vexatious Contests in
every part of the Kingdom.

doutfle carriage bridge were built by Sir George Duckett. so as to
connect the two detached parts of the field:that Circumstance, in connexion with the ad evitangcs likely to eatee from the construction
of the new eanal, would be a full cernpoosation for the injory sus.
rained by the division of the proper.), into two distinct and dtitart
plots. l'art of the land proposed to he taken has been dug for L flea
earth.

Mr. Bayley, another surveyor. estimated the common value or
the required plot at 577/. 75., sod the deterioration of the rennin:Mg
property at 300/.
Mr. Fox, • builder, said lie would willingly give 201. an acre for
the ground to build on, and he cotisldered many other persona would
give the same.
Mr. Bnonanicx, on the other tide, called the following Wit.

mate that had been pot upon ie.
- Mr. James Begg la an architect and enryovor, and Is well ac-
-quainted with the property in question. Doe's not consider it as
-eligible for building, is it is situate et a distanie from any hant,
and as many of those recently built in that neighbourhood remain
untenanted. In its present stale it is a complete morass, and bus
been Mug up in many parts for brick earth. Considers the very
outside value of the fee simple to be 37M. 12s. ed.
Henry Crawter, surveyor, considers the value of the property
to be about 240!. The excavations made are so'extensive, that the
present value of the property is not more than M. per anntlin.

LORD COCHR4NE.

In answer to a statement which appeared in the Lii.(r.
pool Mercury, Lord Cochrane has addressed the folios lag
letter to the Editor of that Paper :
Nov.l, 1821
Stn—l have just observed in your Papa of Friday last, an arc.
de wherein you call upon me tor a reply to certain quiwies, which
you say that you " trust, like other similar reports, will turn out
to be • a weak invention of the enemy.' "
The answers are brief. I have no debts ; consequently I hare
not been " sued," and am not " about to plead the statute of limi-
tations."

The debts of the Brazilian Government are not my debts ; and
my " laconic and discouraging" answer to a claimant of his dues
from that Government, really contained all that I could say in re.
ply to his letter. For his reasons for quitting that service I refer
you to Mr. Keallet himself, though 1 have no recollection of any
person of that name serving under me. And further, I refer to all
the officers and seamen who have at any time been under my com-
mand, whether I ham not, on every occasion, exerted nmall to
the utmost of my power to obtain for them their dues.
Although it would always afford me pleasure to explain my cot,
duct to individuals whose good opinion I value, you must, I am
persuaded, be aware how unpleasant it is to bebrouglat betore the
public by insinuations so false as those contained in the paragraph
which you have quoted from some low paper, whose Editor is pro.
bably desirous of bringing himself into notoriety by a proceesizli
at law for hitunfanious aspersions.
My respecor you has induced me, in the present instance, to
depart front a rule which 1 had laid down for my general London.
not to notice anonymous paragraph.; such, for instance, as that
which describes' me as preach ring to Sir %Vatter Scott the dagger of
Montezuma, which I never heard of ; and Lady Cochrane as 'W-
ing a robber, whom she never met in any part of her travels.
You may depend upon it, Sir, that whenever 1 am attacked is
a serious manner, I shall be prepared with suth a statement of forth
as will satisfy the public mind as to the rectitude of my conduct.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,

" These Memoirs may be considered as a Supplement to those of
Napoleon ; they 811 up the blanks, and throw light on the obscuri-

Trl(.o BAY.

In the year 1703 Sir George Rooke attacked, in Vie„
Bay, 17 Freneh and Spanish line-of-battle ships, Bairn,
under convoy It galleons, from South America, laden It
ish
immense treasure, of which fleet were captured six of the
former and five of the latter, the remainder having been
scuttled and sunk by their crews, to save them from the
English. &Follett states the galleons sunk to have had on
ward specie and rich merchandize to the value of fourteen
millions of pieces of eight; which, reckoning the piece of
eight at If. 12s. 6d. gives the enormous value of twenty.
two millions seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds
sterling.
The Spanish Government have always had their eves on
this submarine treasure, but it has been reserved for the
poverty of Ferdinand the rneventh and the enterpr;ze of the
present age to attempt its recovery. Ferdinand having been
under some obligations to a Capt. Dickinson, gave bin, a
grant, under the sign manual, of the " sweepings of Vigo
Bay," reserving to himself, however, one-half 01 the Most
proceed* thereof, whatever they may be. In these "sweep,
ingi" are of course comprised the men of war and galleons
above alluded to, and which, strange to say, are netwitb.
standing the lapse of time still entire—indent they are even
visible at low water, being in only 10 fathoms water, on a
clear rooky bottom.
Capt. Dickinson having interested, in his grant flow thc
King of Spain, eight of the most respectable and weal
merchants in the city, has, with them, fitted out the s:,::
Enterpriae, with a complete diving apparatus and crew, i
the express purpose of attempting the re ovary
treasure known to be on board the galleons. This VeFF,
'sited a fortnight ago, and is supposLd to be now at we
Vigo Bay. The anxiety of the Spanish Governtnt.:
for the success of the undertaking is great, hut
undivided—our own having a strong feeling; it
understood betwixt the two Governments that whato,,
may be the gain it shall go towards liquidating 1,,
British claims on Spain. With this view the proteelz
of a line-of-battle ship
.and frigate in Vigo Bay has 1),:t,
promised to the contractors, so soon as the' Possession of s
single piece of eight renders it necessary. These gin.
' tlemen, much to their credit, have attempted the spa.
citation at their own risk, and not at that of the public,
but we understand that Captain Dickinson, who fi not
their equal in wealth, has disposed of a fete of his shares
at the enormous advance of 1,000 per cent. Indeed se
have seen one of these shares, bearing the names of the
parties, but from motives of delicacy we forbear from,
giving diem to the public, respecting, as we do, the quiet,
unpretending, and upright manner in- whisk they wea-
rying on their undertaking, anti which, If imeeessful,as we
both hope and expect it will he, will direct the attention
of the scientific world to the recovery of submarine trea.
sums as earnestly as that of the mercantile has been given
of late to those which arc subterranean.
