Justice Abbott being engaged on the State trials no
Tuesday, application was made to Mr. Justice
Hofray& who sanctioned his commitment.
Forinnote Escape front Poison.—On Sunday last
Lord Alvanley, in consequence of indisposition, or-
dered his servant to procure him a dose of Epsom
salts; but instead of getting them from his Lord-
ship's apothecary, the servant bought them at ano-
ther shop. Lord Alvanley had no sooner swallowed
the medicine given to him than he became very un-
easy, which, along with the peculiarity of its taste,
led him instantly to suspect that he was poisoned.
Mr Wanin), one of his Majesty's Surgeons, saw
Lord Alvanley immediately. Emetics and proper
antidotes were administered, and we arc happy now
to be able to state, that except some slight weakness,
his Lordship has perfectly recovered. On enquiry
it was found that the supposed Easom salts were
made up by a mere boy, and in place of that medi-
cine it had given au ounce of salt of zinc. As this
is one of the many instances of dangerous suffering,
from the carelessness or inability of persons employed
in chymists' shops, we sincerely hope that it will
not only afford a useful lesson to the public, and
render them cautious in the manner they obtain
medicines, but that the legislature will interfere in
this country, as it has done in all others of civilized
Europe, and establish regulations to guard against
such dangerous mistakes.
the impartial and upright manner in which Mr,
Justice Bayley conducted himself in the judgment
seat, on a late memorable occasion, will always,
indeed, be remembered with gratitude. osi sic
omnin ! Then indeed the people would look up with
their accustomed reverence to the laws. But, un-
thrtunately, a new system of administering justice
has lately made its appearance among us, of a very
different character. Our readers know to what we
allude without our entering into particulurs.—lt is
against this system that Parliament, we hope, will
declare itself. Sure we are, that if the people are
not brought back to their former confidence in the
laws, the laws will soon cease to afiltrd that protec-
tion to the community for which they are intended.
A Cheap Methyl of Doing Good.—A flintily in
the East Riding of Yorkshire give to every poor
woman, during her confinement, gruel made of two
quarts of water, a pint of' ale, a little ginger, and a
spoonful of oatmeal, sweetened with, treacle. Let
it simmer farce hours. This they give three or four
times, with two suits of baby.linen, and half a gui-
nea in money. The milk of three cows when very
scarce to those who have a child under two years.
About six bushels of coals to Si) families, and at
Christmas ;01. in money. The lady gives a woman
51. for teaching 50 or 40 girls ; three times a week,
an hour a day, come when they will; and on Sunday
three hours of her time ; and all this fur a total ex-
pence of 451. Is.
Pugilism v.Wallzing—A recent publication draws
a curious line or comparison between the indecency
of the two exhibitions in the following manner:—
te have extreme pleasure in writing the series
" Boxiana," and we know that it is excessively popular.
It is mil that one elderly maiden lady has written us stn
eXpostulatory epist!e on the subject, and expressed he.-
sell' shocked by the indecency of the spectacle of two
norwous porters (such were her very words) exhibiting
themselves stripp.A heft re 40.4100 spectators. We an-
swered that letter privately, and assured the nun that pu-
gudists tight in flannel drawers, and that they are vet,
little more exposed than young ladiei. in a ball-room.
We also veniured to state it as our opini.at that it is less
indelicate in such a man as mut Bc;cocr to give Cropley
a cross buttock, than officer of litroars to put ;one
timid on lite bare neck of a virgin of 18 years, anotiter
mond tier waist, and thus to whirl h r about or
quarter of an hour in his arms, till both parties ate
thmil, and that too in presence oaf JO) spectators. A

A Coroner's Inquest was held at Trowbridge, on
Wednesday last, on a poor child named Adams, nine
years of age, who met with her death in the follow-
ing. :mild manner :—Ou Saturday night her parents
put the rest of the children to bed, and locking the
door, went off to the ale house, leaving this child
up, to clean herself, ready fir school the following,
morning. By some accident her clothes caught
fire, and with difficulty she got to the back-door, and
alarmed the neighbours; but before assistance came,
she was in a dreadful condition, and her clothes
nearly consumed. She languished till Sunday even-
ing, and expired. The Jury returned a verdict of
Accidental Death, but considered the conduct of
the parents as peculiarly reprehensible.
A SAGACIOUS JUDGE.-At the late Lancaster
Assizes, a woman having been placed in the wit-
nesses box, who 'erom a natural defect or momentary
timidity, did not give her evidence very audibly ;
the presiding Judge (Mr. Justice Perk) addressing
the Prothonotary said Mr. Cross, I order that when-
ever an attorney does not instruct his witnesses to
speak out properly, or his witnesses do not speak
out properly, the expences of that witness shall net
be allowed."
Mr. Flaldimand, the Hanoverian messenger, who
arrived in London on Friday, with letters from the
Duke of Cambridge, also brougitt letters from the
Duke end Duchess of Cumberland, at Berlin, to the
King, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess

A fire broke out in the shop of •+essrs. Grace and
Freeman, at Millbank, on Friday morning. It was
a white lead manufactory ; the greater part of it
was destroyed. The damage is computed at from
three to four thousand pounds.

On Friday, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
an escape of gas from a fractured pipe having been
discovered in the chemical warehouses of Messrs.
Savory Ind Ca , of Bond Street, one of ihe workmen
incautiously took a lighted candle, to find out the
situation of the leak ; when an explosion took place,
which singed the hair of the man, and broke
several panes of glass in the ,hop window.
The conununicaticn through the Bank of En-
gland from the front of that building to Thregmor•
ton-street, passing the Bullion Office, has been
closed during the State trials, by a general order
from tl►e Directors.

CORNISH WANDERER: Mr. 1V iISOTI, a gentleman
of Cornwall, who inherited an estate of about 10001.
per annum in that county, at the age of '23, and in
the year 1731, the year after his father's death, set
off for the Continent on his travels. He rode or.
horseback, with one servant, over the greatest part
of the world. He first viewed every European
country ; in doing which he spent eight years. He
then embarked lbr America, was two years in the
northern part, and three years more in South
America, where he travelled as a Spaniard, which
he was enabled to do, from the facility with which
he spoke the language. The climate, prospects, Sic
of Peru, enchantedhim so much, that he hired a
firm, and resided on it nearly twelve months. His
next tour was to the East ; he passed successively
through all the territories in Africa, to the south of
the Mediterranean, Egypt, Syria, and all the domi-
nions of the Grand Seignior ; went twice through
Persia, through the northern and southern provinces,
over Hindustan, and part of Siam and Peru, and
made several excursions to the boundaries of China.
He afterwards, on his return, stopped at the Cape of
Otrid I lope, anti penetrated some distance into
Africa ; and, on return to the Cape, he took the
opportunity ofa ship going to Batavia, and thence
visited most of the Islands in the great Indian: Ar.
chipelago. Returning to urope, he lauded at Cadiz,
and travelled over land to Mo.cow. in his way to
Kanisehatka. In 1783, he was at Moscow, healthy
anti vigorous, and though then in his 66th year,
was preparing for u journey to Siberia.
Monday afternoon, a decently dressed female W. 13
observed walking backwards and tinavards by the
river side at Chelsea, in ,uch a way as to excite su4-
picion that she had some design upon her own lite.
At length she jumped in anti sunk. A lad named
Dumbleton, ion of a putatee merchant in Drury•
lane, who beheld the act, immeli itely came up,
took off his coat and waistcoat, and fearlessly* sprung
into the water to rescue her. Aft, r considerable
difficulty, he succeeded in getting the body to the
shore, where it was laid, exhausted and insensible
on the bank, till some persons ivere procured who
carried it to a neighbouring. public house, where
animation returned, and by the kind persuasions of
several persons, site c.msented to return hotn,2; bu
wcadd not tell tha cause of her rash conduct. Tht
intrepid Isw a' plied to (and we understand receive,
from) the Humane Society, the usual reward —la"
such cases.

Parson Harrison,ofSiUekport, was tried at Ches-
ter on Tuesday, upi:n two different indictments for
sedition. He was llama Guilty upon both, and
sentenced to two years imprisonment in the county
gaol, and to find securities for his gcod behaviour
tir two years. The sentence upon the krnier con-
viction, when he was tried 'long with Sir Charles
Wolselcy, will be delivered in the Court of King's

Bench, in the course of the rtesent term.
If I.lall.—Wednes4lay being the first
day of Easter Term, the Lord Chancellor attended at
Lincoln's Inn Hall, at his usual time. Shortly after,
the Vice Chancellor and seven of the Judges, wi,h

tl:c principal Counscl of the Chancery and the other
Courts, waited on his Lordship, and took breakrast.
They then accompanied his Lordship in procession
to open the Courts at Westminster. The Chief
Justices of the King's Bench and Common Pleas,
with the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, togetkr
with Mr. Justice Richardson, were not of the party,

they being engaged on the trials at the Old

%\ hen his late Maiiesty was a child, he was fre-
quently taken into the music-room at Leicester-
house, which belonged to his Royal Mother the
Princess Dowager of Wales. Handel observing
that the little Prince was very attentive to his ova
t trio music, exclaimed, when the Prince on one
ta.casion had crept close to the double bass and
organ. ‘, Ali l dat litel Prince vil keep uh my

verified— tits the King did net relish later compo-
sitions; and Handel's music used to be perfOrmed
him by the Queen's hand every evening at
Vsladsor Castle after the usual promenade on the
Terrace.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 27th ult. mention,
sat the Government schooner had returned, with
a favourable report of the state of the plague in
Africa. lhe deaths in Morocco did not exceed two
or three hundred daily. In Mogadorc they were
"educed also considerably, and were bum 12 to 13
daily. The cordon, established by General Don,
between the Spanish dominions and Gibraltar, was
removed on the 25th of March, and a free inter-
course with Spain was established.
According to advises from Cadiz of the 30th ult.
the duties on wine, barilla, &c. the most unpopular
measure adopted by Ferdinand, previously to his
acceptance of the Constitution, have been removed
by the Government, and an order to that effect had
xcached Cadiz. With respect to the commercial
affairs of Spain in general, nothing would be dooe
until the deliberations of the Cortes had commenced.
It is said, that since the Bank of England has
been compelled to pay in specie, there have been
only three ingots issued from the Bank to the public, '
Advises from Petersburg!' state, that a new voy-
age of discovery will be undertaken this summer in
the North. The expedition will sail from the mouth
of the Lena for the Frozen Ocean, in order to exa-
mine the coast of Siberia and the islands which were
discovered to the north of it some years ago. As it
is not yet ascertained whether these supposed islands
may in reality be one main land or not, and as
as hitherto they have only been visited in winter, it
will be interesting to know how fur the ice will
permit vessels to advance during summer, and to
determine its extent.

TIIE CATO-STREET CONSPIRACY...— It Will be
recollected, that, on the night of the capture of the
Cato-street conspirators, Davidson, the man of co-
lour, was stated to have been standing sentry at
the entrance to the place of meeting, armed with a
earabine, and a sword of immense length, and that
in resisting the attempt of the officers to take him
into custody- , he discharged his =Able at one of
them. In preferring the bills against the prisoners
fbr the several offences wi.li which they are charged,
this circumstance was overlooked, and it was not
recollected, we understand, till Wednesday. An
order was consequently given on Wednesday even-
ing by Mr. Maule, the Solictor to the Treasury, to
ltuthven, Ellis. Gill (the man shot at), and other
witnesses, to attend before the 111:ddlesex Grand
Jury, at Cicrkenwcll, on Thursday, and to bring
with them the arras tal-en from Davidson. They
attended acoordingly, the bill of indietnanit wns
preferred, and a true bill found against Willi:iin
Davidson, fin. feloniously thooti::g at Gill,
with intent to kill, &c. Only dime witnesses were
called. The bill was preferred Letin.i: the Grand
Jury summoned to dispose of the ordinary *lions
business, and not that lately as:xtubled under the
grocial Commission.
