Sir William Scott calls the Agricultural Report the
" Bazaar Misery."
A gentleman in one of the northern counties, who
has lately sent fifteen unfortunate occupiers of his farms
to jail, for arrears of rent, was complaining to a friend a
few days ago, Of extreme lowness of spirits, in conse-
quence of his apprehension of being obliged to go to
prison, from the pressure of the times, to which his
friend replied, " Cheer up, my good fellow, for where
can a landlord be so happily situated as in the midst of
his tenants!" _ _

A Gentleman in Bath, lately returned from the East
Indies, says, that on his passage he touched at Stlielena,
where he was introduced to Buonaparte. In the evening
Buonaparte's visitor sat down to a rubber of whist with
him ; and on asking him fiir what stakes they should
play? "Oh (said Napoleon, jocularly', for Crowns, Sir, for
Crowns; you know 1 have all my life time played for'
Crowns." Buonaparte lost four points, and paid his op-
ponent with a Napoleon.
The mistakes of the French papers in giving English
names are frequently very ludicrous. A Paris paper
says—" Mr. Molincux Wilder du Ward, an English
Gentleman from London, arrived at Milan on the 10th
of September.
A certain Judge, after hearing a florid discourse from
a young lawyer, advised him to pluck out some of the
feathers from the wings of his imagination, and put them
into the tail of his judgment.
Pudding Eater.—The daily feats of pedestrianism
we hear of cannot be deemed more, nor yet half so ridi-
culously extraordinary as the following fact :—A person
well known by the appellation of " The Russian," has
undertaken, for a considerable wager, to cat 1000 pud-
dings in 1000 succcsive hours, each pudding to weigh
half-a pound. The time is not fixed when he is to
commence his repast. Considerable bets are already
made at a sporting-house at the west end of the town.
Shillings to guineas against the cormorant.
Anecdote of a Chimney Sweeper.—A curious circum-
stance happened a short time since, near a village not
far from Mahon in Yorkshire. A chimney sweeper, in
his way over a pasture, was attacked by a bull, and to
save himself from thefury of the enraged animal, climbed
into a tree, where he continued all night, and the bull
stood sentinel at the bottom. About four the next morn-
ing, a neighbouring butcher who was passing over the
same field, drew the attention of the beast from his sable
friend, whom he immediately deserted, and began a
fresh contest with the butcher, who was obliged to musks
his escape by ascending the tree already occupied (though
unknown to him) by the chimney-sweeper. But what
was his surprise, when, as he mounted the tree, he was
accosted by the Man of Soot , with " Good Morning to
you, Sir !" In this dilemma he was totally at a loss what
to do ; he had jest escaped from the bull, and was now
fallen (as he supposed) into the claws of the d***l!
whom, he probably, from conscientious motives, he dreaded
ten times more than his adversary below. Such a situ-
ation was too much for human nature to support : and
he certainly had thrown himself down to the mercy of
the bull, had not the sweep relieved his panic, by prov-
ing himself to be only a fellow-creature in the same pre-
dicament.

At Deene, near \Vansford, Lincolnshire, Mr. William
Giddings, aged 38, to Miss Hannah Spendilo, aged 16.
When the fair pair fir-t appeared at the altar, the cler-
gyman asked the young woman whether she was a
Christian. Her answer convinced him that she had not
been baptised, and therefore refused to perf.rm the mar-
riage ceremony. The couple then left the church, but
returned shortly afterwardA with godtitthers and god-
mothers, when the intended bride was christened and
married.

Lately, in a church, not a hundred miles from Leeds,
a brief was read, and a collection made, in aid of a
stab:l.er from fire. The collector "flattered himself"
that he had been unusually successful, us he fancied he
saw an agent to one of the Fire-Offices put a note into
the box. On counting up. however, the note did not
appear to have been issued from any bank—but merely
bore these monitory words—" Let 'em insure, and be
haug'd to 'em !"
In selling off the effects of a little farmer, of Notley
Old Fair Place, Sussex, an engine of exquisite workman-
stip sally puzzled the natives, and even the auctioner
was ignorant of its purl): bscs—it was afterwards discover-
ed to be an engine for stamping counterfeit money !

Bagehal family, and has declared his intentions of °tiering his
services to the Electors on the first opportunity.
In the event, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald's election fur the county
of Clare, who is to represent the borough of Ennis? We have
heard one of the O'Brien family.
The politics of the county DOwA are becoming extremely
Interesting, and the Dramatis Personw who figure on its stage
highly important. Mr. Savage lately made his exit from its
representation to make room for Lord Castlereagh, and now
Colonel Mead (the sou of Lady Clanwilliam) accepts the situ-
ation of Consul General in Spain, to make room for a mem-
ber of the Downahire family. Lord Arthur Hill, in an ad-
dress, declares himself a candidate for the created vacancy ;
and, it is understood, his Lordship is to be aupported by the
Castlereagh interest, in all the wide extent of its family
alliances and powers of Court influence.
Mr. Cost has been returned for Lincolnshire without oppo-
sition. Sir Robert Heron, in an address to the Freeholders
of the county, states his reasons for having declined to offer
himself a Candidate for the present vacancy, but announces
his determination to solicit that honour upon a future oc-
casion.

Mr. Croker has abandoned his intention to stand as candi-
date to represent Portsmouth in oppositiou to Mr. John Car-
ter. Mr. C. will therefore be unanimously chosen.
GLOUCESTER, OCT. I.—Yesterday the poll commenced at
the Town Hall in this city, when a general row took place
between the parties of the respective candidates. The par-
tizans of the Corporation endeavoured to take the lead of the
Blues, but they soon found themselves mistaken, and, at the
close of the day's poll, Mr. Cooper had a majority of three.
In the content for the possession of the Town Hall, the Blues
proved the masters, but at length they agreed to poll by
tallies, when eightof the Fellows were carried to the Intir-

equal at present.

CITY BUSINESS.
-..-

.On Monday the new Sheriffs, Mes,rs. Bridges and Kirby,
with the Lord Mayor and City Officers, went on board the
city state barges, at Blockfriar's Bridge, to proceed to the
Conga ExcliequEr, %hem they were presented to the Cur-
sitor 841.1111, before whom they were sworn into their respec-
tive office*. _

--Wednesday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Common
Council, at twelve o'clock precisely, which was numerously
attended.
After the last proceedings had been read, the Court pro-
ceeded to the Election of aFirst ur Principal Clerk at the Coal
Market, when Mr. John Butcher, who had held the situation
of Third Clerk of the said Market, was elected thereto by a
shew of bards ; and the Court then resolved to elect a Third
Clerk in his MUM immediately, upon which several petitions
were delivered in and read, and a ballot commenced, and on
the same being cast up, the Lord Mayor declared Mr. B.
Wood duly elected Third Clerk of the Coal Market dining
pleasure.
After some minor business was gone through with, the
Court resolved, in consequence of the freqaent robberies and
depredations committed on the River Thames, that the Lord
Mayor be requested to take such steps as he may see neces
vary for the prevention thereof, and to confer with the Right
Hon. the Secretary of State for the Home Department
thereon.

The Lord Mayor then stated to the Court, that the Prince
Regeht having only yesterday appointed to receive the Ad-
dress on the late attack upon Algiers, lie was fearful the HO
tiers not all have been received, but that he had given
immediate intimation as far as possible, and had in conse-
quence settled fur the ballot on the election to close at two,
that the Coma might then go up to Carlton House with the
Address in time. His Lordship, at u quarter past two
o'clock, left tiiiildhall, attended by Sir Charles Flower, Mr.
licygitte,. and Mr. Antenna') Christopher Smith,
the Ilecord.•r. Sheriffs, City -Otticers, and but a very Bnl4ll
number of the Alembers of the Court of Common Council,
and proceeded io Carlton House, s* here they were introduced,
ill Ike usual foi in, to his Royal Mg:mess the Prince Iteicent,
and presented the Address (as agreed to at the last Court) to
his Royal Highness, seated upon the 'llirone ; to which his
Royal Highness was pleased to return the IMlowing answer:—
'• I return you my wannest thanks for your congratulations
on the Aitobil success which has attended the operations of
the Fleet under the command of admiral Lord Viscount Ex-
mouth before Algiers. In ho instance have the judgment
and het...Amu of a British Commander and the iinilaiiiited spirit
and t:eterminatioli of Ha itisli ()dicers, Seamen, and ll:trines,
been more eiumeutly displayed. The oratory wish which it
pleased Almighty .(iod to bless their exertions, and the eon-
ditions of the Treaty of Peace to which it instantly led, could
not tail to be peculiariy grateful to the feelings of a bras e,
humane, and free people. I have experienced the highest
satistaction in maiiitesting the just and deep sense which I
entertain of the services rendered not to this you tar) only,
lint to all th•. Christian nations of the wutlti ou this ever nu wo-
ratite occasion."

DOWNS SOCIETY OF FISIIERMEN'S FRIENDS.

Tuesday a Meeting of the Subscribers to the abo. c society
was held at the City of London Tavern. The Lout Mayor
took the Chair at one o'clock, and in a short preliminary
.pcech ,aid, he was ready to give the Society his countenance
and support. With regard to the system proposed, it met his
entire epprobation , and lie had no doubt it was calculated
to give employment to many useful hands, and it might di-
nl ll ish the pernicious system of smuggling. He had no doubt
the City of Loudon would afford every encouragement to
promote the briaging of fish to market. lie had received de-
clarations from those concerned iii Loudon with the oyster
fisheries, " that they would not interfere with the large oyster
tied lately discovered seven miles off Dover, so that the Deal
fishermen might avail themselves of it." Alderman Atkins
then shortly addressed the Met tiug, to nearly the volume effect
as his predecessor. He said .!,..re could be no doubt of its
objects meeting the sanction of the City of London, and he
should be extremely ready to afford every assistance in his
power to the Society. The Report was here read. Several
Resolutions were then proposed, which were cordially agreed
to. They generally expressed the high satisfaction of the
Meeting at the formation of the Society, and their determi-
nation to give it support. Lord Gambier then spoke for a
few minutes on the advantages likely to result front it to the
public ; and after a few observations from Mr. Alderman At-
kius, respecting the Bye-laws and Regulations the Society
should form, particularly the danger likely to result to the
Society front its Committee engaging in any trade, instead of
patronizing die most industrious and cheapest mechanic, and
also the danger arising from giving a fined bounty (whicla
bounty, he' contended, should be regulated by the market
price, not by any fixed rule), die Meeting adjourned.—A
subscription was immediately commenced, and seemed to
promise much success to the Society.

A Brighton Paper says, " the English hawkers of lace,
residing at Paris, Rouen, and other large towns, have played
off their tricks upon their own credulous countrymen, by
selling them tine Buckingham thread lace for French. Not
long ago, a person purchased a large quantity, and a part was
seized at our Custom-house, when, upon close examination,
about Md. value was found to be.Britisli manufacture, and
of course restored to the speculator. It is a well-known fact,
that immense quantities of British lace,smuggled into France.
have been disposed of, and the ktioniag ones taken in. A
number of Ladies have been sadly mortified on discovering
the deception, when they have exhibited their cheap pur-
chases to experienced dealers."
An anonymous writer in the Brussels Oracle asserts, that
the price of grain is now almost as high in Belgium as it
was iu the days of the assignats. The consequence is, he
says, " that in a country the most eminently agricultural,
thousands of fathers of families are unable to supply the wants
of their children, and can hardly give them a wretched crust
of unwholesome black bread." He hence argues that the
ports should he shut against importation, because all the su-
perfluous grain in the country had been consumed by the at..
mies in the early part of the year, and because the present
season had been the most inclement within the memory of
mrn. _ _

The English merchandise exposed for sate at the last Frank-
fort Fair was sold at a very low price, and bought up by Jews
The Saxon and Swiss manufactures rival the finest L'oglisla
pi oductions, and the little which was sold brought high prices.
At a Meeting of the Magistrates for licensing ale houses
at Christchurch, Hants, on Monday se'nnight, they animad-
v cried very strongly on the exorbitant ptice and improper
quality of beer sold at alehouses, under the coutroul of public
brewers; and expressed their decided determination to en-
force the duty of ulelasicrs in their district, and the penalties
to which persons are liable en sale of bad liquors of any lama ;
ap-
prising the innkeepers that they would, at the day appointed
for licensing their houses in the next year, provided any com-
plaints were made, and sufficiently substantiated, of the
brewers of whom they rented their houses having sold them
beer of bad or improper quality, grant to such innkeepers li-
censes for houses of their oWn, so as to free them from the con-
trout of such brewers, and enuncipate them from their in-
fluence or interference; at the same time referring them to
the case of the King versus Daybill, in which Lord Ellenbo-
rough held, that" iniikeeper3 were not bound; though renting
of a brewer, to vend his beer, if it was of a bad quality, or
held in such cases to the covenants of any lease or agree-
ment."

fhe importatd regulations respecting weights and measnres
is intended to embrace a standard size of buitties, so long de-
sired. Considering the high price of wines, 14,:r. we cougra-
tnlate the public on this proposed alteration so soon to take
place.
Put ter. or MEAT.—The present unnecessarily high price of
Butchers' Meat in the Metropolis calls loudly for some inter-
position; in the me: time it may perhaps lie productive of
good to the public, that the Butchers should be made ac-
quainted with the law of Eduard the Sixth, which, it' not
since repealed, would, if threatened to be pot in force, at
least oblige them to lend an ear to the complaints of their
customers. The following is an extract from an Act of Par-
liament passed in the 2d and Jd of Edward the Sixth, cap.
•' If any butchers shall conspire nit to sell their victuals but
at certain prices, every suelt verso. shall forfeit ter the first
offence tol. to the htna•, and if not paid im. six days Im -hall
suffer 20 days imprisonment, and shall only have Saud o:.1

and penalties for si ttt ilur otlenerq.

OLD BAILEY.

Wednesday, tVillion: licitrauss was capitally indicted for
at eating in a ilwelli.:e•limise Les gi,anisli dollars, v.:lue 1101.
the property of Culotte! Jarvis.—Calaii.: v is had returned
a snort time %love from Canada, and had in his possession a
box containing 1,800 Spanish &Mats. He met the prisoner
in St. Jame,'s-vtreet, who offered liimvelf av a servant out of
place: he represented to uitned that he was in very great
distres•. Being in want of a servant, Colonel Jarvis took
hint iota hi, survice. I careen .11: sth and nth of Jelly lasi,

witoess went to Richmond for a day or too, «nd ca: else !y

key which opened the box. In consequence of the suspi-
Mons lie entertained against the prisoner, we went for a Bow-
street officer. The pi koner did not• sleep at his house, but
at apartments of his own, where there was a woman who pass-
ed for his wife. The Colonel called him up stairs, and bay-
ing chin ged hint with the robbery, he became very abusive,
and said he had bought the blur coat of a Jew in the street.
At the prisoner's lodgings was found a quantity of new wo-
men's shoes, trinkets, and silk handkerchiefs.
A jeweller proved that the prisoner had bought a watch
of him, and paid for it in Spanish dollars. Several other
tradesmen proved the iole of various articles to him, for
which they were paid in the same way. A salesman stated
that he had sold him a blue coat and received dollars in

pad merit.
Colonel Jarvis being re-examined, said, it might be possi-
ble that the dollars might have been taken out of the box by
• the prisoner while in the hackney coach.
The prisoner said, in his defence, that he bad been six
years in the employ of Colonel Bloomfield, and afterwards
went into the service of the Commissioner of Woods and
Forests. He then was einploed by the prosecutor; and he
stated, that the way he came into the possession of so many
Spanish dollars was, that a man owed him VA. and paid him
all in Spanish dollars. An 'officer in the Navy, with whom
the prisoner had lived as servant, gave him a good character.
The Jury found a verdict—Guilty.
The Common Serjeant desired the prisoner to expect the
worst, and prepare for it, for such offences us these were not
lightly to be passed over. A servant robbing his master of
1001 and capitally convicted, might not perhaps find mercy.
There were a great number of cases tried yesterday, but
mane of interest. _ _

Int7l PO wOl and Wm. Richards were convicted of stealing

sonic copper, and st.tveral brass cocks, the property of John
Tinlaysou.
William Willongliby was convicted of stealing a pocket-
. leeik, containing a dollar, also a bundle of wearing apparel,
the property of Stephen Robinson, from his person.
-410•-•
Tito following are the details of a most melancholy acci-
dent, wft:eh took place yestosiday morning between twelve and
one o'clock, at the works for the intended Southwark Bridge.
The men had been working late in the foundation for the
'Middlesex Pier, and had just loft off when a party, about 15
in number, who were returning to the opposite shore, hailed
one of the boats in attend • nee ; a brat came with two water-
men is it alongside the dans, the whole party, in spite of the
avaterman's endeavonrs to prevent them, immediately entered
it and pushed off; but the tide, which was running up very
strong, carried it against a barge, when, in the act of clearing
themselves from the barge, the boat upset, and precipitated
the whole into the stream. A police boat, which was at
• Land, hastened quickly to their assistance, and succeeded in
reselling two of them from destruction; the two watennen
with difficulty escaped by swimming. The remainder, ill-
eluding thirteen, notwithstanding every endeavour was made
to save them, considering the lateness of the hour and the de-
ficiency of ie means at hand, have not yet been found. The
vnen hail been repeatedly cautioned before about rushing
into the boats, but to no purpose. Three of the bodies have
since been found.
Lie exrtans RD Mvsvestv.—Some bricklayers, who were
lately employed in repairing certain premises in Long Acre,
are reported to have met with something of an extraordinary
. Mad. Happening not to be satisfied with the condition of
the pavement in the back yard, while removing a copper there
which was conjectured to have been built seventeen years
since, they accidentally struck upon the skeleton of a person,
who, if their account be true, appears to have suffered by the
-Land of violeuee. The skull is described as having been
beaten in upon the hinder part, and the spine of the back
completely broken. After they had consulted on the spot,
it is believed that the remains of the person in question were
Caen re-interred by the workmen. Such an occurrence as
this, however, seems to demand an inquisition far different
from that instituted by them.
ATTEMPTED SULCIDES.—Mary Daly, a woman of the town,
was brought to St. Ann's Watch-house, tioho, on Sunday night, on a
:charge of disorderly conduct. Shortly after one o'clock in the morn-
ing, Gessbell. one of the beadles, looked through the wicket, and ob-
.served her suspended by the ribband of her bonnet, front the upper
(part of the door ; he immediately cut her down, and obtained medical
aid; and, after using proper means, she was restored to life.
yesterday se'nnight Sarah Jones, the wife of a labouring man, in
Peter street, Golden-square, attempted to put a period to her existence
32y cutting her throat with an old table knife; but happily a child,
who was going down stairs, discovered her, and gave the alarm ; in
consequence of which a eurgeon was sent for, who dressed the wound,
.and some hopes are entertained of her recovery. The cause is stated
so be a family.quarrel.
An Inquisition was taken at the Crown, in Duke's-court, St. Mar-
in's-lane, upon the body of Coleman Jones, lying at St. Martin's
Workhouse ; who, it was believed, died for want of food. at four
o'clock on Monday morning. The body of the deceased was a most
wretched spectacle, quite emaciated, the bones nearly through the
skin. The Jury returned a verdict of—Died by the visitation of God.
A few days once, Mr. P. Fitze, sod of Mr. Fuze, one of the Alder-
mm of Liskeard. who had been lately superannuated from the Tax-
<Office, suddenly appeared in the street, stripped to his shirt and stock-
ings, and cs,vered with blood, which flowed from a dreadful wound
,on his throat. In this condition he ran until he fell. the windpipe
being severed, and died in convulsions in about an hour. The evi-
...knee given at the Coroner's I nquestproved, that the deceased appeared
as usual at break/anima dinner • that he ordered tea by half-pas
'four, and that between two and three lie retired to his bed-room,
where he undressed, got into bed, and effected his purpose. After
wonsidezable deliberation, the Jury returned a verdict of—lnsanity.

Nor MANUF.tCTURkS.—The principal houses in the iron
trade in StatiOrdshire have lately, as we are informed, re-
ceived an order from the New River Company for a quantity
of iron pipe, which is to be delivered and laid down as quick-
Iv as possible. By the timely aid of this order, which amounts
to 150,0001. immediate employment is given to that suffering
district. Nine-tenths of this large sam is expended in labour
It is with satisfaction also, we observe in the Gazette of Sa-
turday night, a notice of an intended application to Parlia-
ment tOr an Act to incorporate the Company tOr the supply of
Paris with water. We uuderstand, that, according to the
estimate of Alr. Mylne, the engineer of the New River Com-
pany, who will superintend this undertaking, the cast iron
pipe will occupy a distance of 199 miles, and require 90,00 u
tons of iron and 2000 tons of lead, which, by the condition of
a treaty entered into with the Coporation of Paris, are to be
manufactured bete. It is needless to add of what import-
ance to this country, ai the present moment, must be an un-
dertaking that will at once give activity to so much British
capital, bread to so many labourers, and employment to so
many thousand ton► of British shipping.
The diminished value of cast-iron work appears very evi-
dent in the late contract entered into by a manulitelmer of.
Frome, who has engaged to deliver a certain number of cast-
iron bedsteads at the gaols at neliester and Wilton (carriage
free), at 11. 16s. per bedstead.
