Alexander Rose, Arbroath, spirit•dealer. Dec. 29, Jan,
6 and 20, at twelve, at Oliver's George Inn and Hut►eJ
Arbroath.

PRICE OF SUGATA,

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, com-
puted from the Returns made in the week ending Dec. 29
is 235. 2d. per cwt., exclusive of the duties of custom
paid or payable thereon► on the importation timed into
Great Britain.

THE WEATHER.—The severe frost which
has prevailed in this neighbourhood during the last ten
days is general throughout the country; hut the frtll.4
snow have been rather severer in the south than in York-
shire. Almost all the canals in the sputh ale frozen up,
and the mails cannot kelp, time. The delivery at Leeds
post-office, last evening, was an hour later than usual,-.L.

On Monday last was committed to our county
gaol, by the Rev. T. R. Bromfield, Henry Collier,
charged with having, on the preceding Ssturda►,
► robbed and violated the person of Amelia Mar.-
and attempted to murder her. Jas. Thatcher
(Collier's master) was committed .the same day
to the House of Correction, charged with thing an
accessory before the fact. It appears that this vic-
tim of brutality, who is a young married woman,
about 23 years of age, attended Banbury fair with
her husband on the Thursday preceding, and that
the latter having disposed of the whole of his stock,
consisting of Sheffield goods, lrft Banbury for the
purpose of returning to Sheffield, on Friday. 8,-
fore his departure he agreed that his 'Wife should
• follow him to Warwick in the cart of Thatcher,
another travelling hawker, on the following day.
Accordingly, early the next morning Amelia Mar-
shall, in company with Thatcher and his wife, and
the prisoner Collier, set out on their way to War-
wick. On getting within a short distance of Lad-
brook, they met an elderly man on the road, whom
Collier accosted as his uncle; and on the party pro-
ceeding a little farther on, he said to the uncle,
"These women have robbed you," to which the old
man replied, " that he knew they had." Notwlth-
standing both of the women solemnly declared their
innocence, they persisted in the charge of robbeTT
till they got to Southam, where the two fetnalrs

were Riven into the custody of a constable, and
taken before the Rev. Mr. Bromfield, who, on hear-
ing the evidence of Collier and his uncle in suppoit
of the charge, thgught it so extremely unsatisfactory,
that he ordered both the women instantly to bc set
at liberty. On returning to Southern, the woman
Marshall separated from the rest of her compa-
nions, and proceeded on the road to IVarwich, but
was closely followed by the prisoner Collier. When
they had got about half a mile from the town, he
with many imprecations demanded her money, and
on her not instantly complying with his demand,
drew a poker, which he had hitherto concealed
under his trousers, and struck her with
great violence on the head. He struck her
several blows, and in the conflict the
poker broke. A severe struggle ensued, and she
had nearly obtained a mastery over her hintal as-
sailant, when she sunk to the ground from loss of
blood. After violating her person, he robbed her
of some money and a penknife, and with the latter
instrument proceeded to inflict upon her head, face,
breast, and other parts of her person, a variety of
wounds. At this moment, the trampling a horses
on the road was heard at a distance, and the unna-
tural monster taking alarm, fled with the greatest
precipitation towards Southam. The poor woman,
as soon as she had recovered herself, although covered
with blood, issuing from the wounds she 11. A re-
ceived, instantly followed in the same direction, and
on reaching the town proceeded to the surgery of
Mr. H. L. Smith, where she received every assist-
ance which skill and humanity could afford. Mar-
shall related the circumstances of this atrocious
affair to that gentleman, who instantly gave the ne-
cessary information to the constables of the place,
and Collier and Thatcher were soon alms :oda ap-
prehended in a public-house, where the blood-stained
marks on the dress of the former had already given
rise to the most ten ible suspicions. The poor woman
still remains in a very precarious state, Ina from
some favourable appearances in the woun Is, hopes
are entertained of her recovery. Marsi:sfl, at the
time of the robbery, had about her a 101. cln,que, and
3S sovereigns, which had escaped the search of the
prisoner Collier. It appears that the piker with
which the villain commenced his bru,al assault on
his unoffending victim, was stolen from a public-
house in Southam, during the short time they
stopped there. lhe post-boys (the trampling of
whose horses had providentially prevented the ruffian
from completing his diabolical object of depriving
his victim of life) picked up her bonnet near the
spot where the horrid event occurred, and brought
it with them to Southam. \Ve understand they
were on their return from 'Warwick Castle, to which
place they had that afternoon conveyed the Earl
and Countess of Warwick and suite.—Cottreby

The navigation of the Thames may be con-
sidered closed. The pilots refuse to take charge of any
ships on account of the danger from the masses of floating
ice.

On Saturday afternoon, between four and five
o'clock, a female, apparently between and 20 years of
age, was observed pacing along the margin of the river in
the green at Glasgow in a rather thoughtful mood, when,
all of a sudden, she threw her mantle into the hands of
two little boys who were passing, sprung into the water,
and sunk to the bottom. Information of the circumstance
was immediately transmitted to Mr. Downie, keeper f
the Humane Society-house, who hastened to the spot.
and, with considerable exertion, succeeded in recovering
the body in about half an hour. It has since been claimed.
The deceased was servant with a family in Great Hamilton-
street, but no cause kas yet been aesigied for the committal
of the suicide.— Glasgow Chronicle.

On Wednesday, shortly after noon, as TIMS.
WlLlctlte, of Gedling, was coining along Old Glasshouse,.
lase, driving an au laden with panniers, he was observed
all at once to make a violent attack on • young woman,
walking beside him, and to beat her moat loutally with
a heavy stick which lie had in kis hand. After a short
intermission he again assailed her, when Mr. IbtA ens-
LET, druggist, who witnessed the transaction, hastened
■p, and wrenching the ►tick from his hand, asked him
the meaning of such barbarity. " She is my daughter,"
said he, and In the language of a celebrated hereditary
legislator of the county, added, " Have I nut a. vi ht to
do as I please with my own ?" We bust that both se-
nators and cottager, may be taught that they uaanot do in..
justice with impunity.—Nottingham Rotew,

THE WEATHER IN FRANQE.—The Seine
is entirely frozen at Havre, 'The vessels which sailed on
the 25th from Havre and Harifeur, for Rouen, have been
obliged to return to the port, to avoid the ice, which began
to cover the river in large sheets. Thus the mil pretty

supposed that this port, which is already deprived of ar-

rendered completely inactive. The letters from the de.
partments announce uniformly delay of twelve, twenty-
four, and forty-eight boom, to the arrival of the mails

It is a very common expression, that such a one is very
good-natured, but very passionate, The expression, in.
deed, is very good-natured, to allow passionate people so
much quarter. But I think a passionate man deserves the
least indulgence of any, it is said, it is soon over : that
is, all the znischiai he does is quickly despatched, which
I think is v,a great recotnmendation to favour. I have

things as the most invoterate enemies of his family would

NAPOLEON IN BERLIN.

After the Prussian troops had evacuated Ber-
-1 in, the administration of foreign affairs was car-
ried on there by Prince Hatzfeldt, one of thf
duties of whose office was to despatch a (lON
report to the King so long as the communica-
tions remained open. At noon on the 24th of
October, the French advanced guard entered
Berlin, and the next day was followed by the
corps of Marshal Davoust ; and on Sunday, the
26th, a deputation went to Potsdam, to com-
pliment Napoleon on his arrival there. Prince
flatzfeldt was at the head of this deputation,
and was received, as is said on such occasions,
" very graciously." In the evening of the same
day, the Emperor went to Charlottenburg, and
at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th,
made his public entry into Berlin. At the
Brandenhurgh gate he was received by a depute •
tion of the chief magistrates, who came to pre-
sent him with the keys of the city : without
deigning to honour them with a look, he rushed
by, and they were told to follow him to the
palace ; there Napoleon received Prince Hatz-
feldt with great coldness, and finally told him
that he did not require his services. Astonished
at this reception, the Prince went home, and
sought in vain the key of his house ; the next
day an officer of the gendarmerie waited upon
him with an arrest, and conducted him on foot
to the Palace guard-house. The Princess, ig-
norant of the cause of this arrest, hastened to the
palace of the Princess Ferdinand, and there re-
ceived from her husband a note written in pencil,
mentioning what had occurred, and beseeching
her to go herself to the Emperor. She flew to
the palace, and found that Napoleon had ridden
out to inspect the troops of Davoust. One of
the Royal servants, who knew her, told her that
Duroc was at home, and conducted her to him ;
she was most kindly received, and Duroc had
the Prince brought from the guard-house into
hits own room, at the same time promising to
take an opportunity of speaking to Napoleon,
whose return being just at this moment an-
nounced by the drums, he had only time to lead
the Princess to a place which the Emperor must
pass, and went to meet his master. When Na-
poleon approached the Princess, he inquired her
name, and immediately ordered M. de Segur to
conduct her to Marshal Berthier, but she had
only been there a few minutes when he sent
for her. The antechamber was filled with
officers of the Emperor's suite ; beyond this
were yet two apartments to cross before she
could reach Napoleon's cabinet. As she opened
the door, he came towards her and said, " You
tremble, Madam ! approach, I am not so formi-
dable." He then inquired after her family, &c., and
conversed with her for more than half an hour upon
all sorts of indifferent subjects; at length the
Princess reminded him of the object of her visit,
upon which lie asked her, whether she knew the
cause of her husband being arrested ; she replied
in the negative ; he then rang for Berthier, from
idiom he demanded Prince Hatzfeldt's letter.
" You shall judge yourself, madam," said he;
" if this letter is your husband's, he is guilty; if
not, I will give you all possible satisfaction."
The Princess, having looked at the letter, an-
swered, " The hand-writing is certainly that of
my husband, but he is a man of honour,—he is
well known,--he can have written nothing that
could compromise him ; let him be called, Sire,
and he will justify himself." Upon this Napo-
leon took the letter, folded it, and returned it to
the Princess with these words, " Here, take the
letter, and then I shall possess no proof agains
your husband—lead him home, he is free.'
Here ended the farce, which, probably to in•
crease the effect, appeared to have been first ar•
ranged as a drama.,-•- United Service Journal.

CANADA SPORTING CLUB.

(From the Montreal Herald.)

BAG Fox UUNt.—The bag fox hunt of
Wednesday last may, by some, be considered as
a total failure in this club. Reynard was turned
out precisely at ten a.m., and about twenty
minutes' law was given him before the dogs were
laid on. He appeared in the very best order,
rather under size, sleek, and nimble, with a
noble brush, that brought up the rear like some
fairy pennon, full and flowing—and fairy indeed
it proved, as the result of the day's sport will
abundantly exhibit ; for it appeared to have
swept every vestige of scent and savour of his
footsteps, and naught remained as a guide to his
movements to dog or huntsmen. This was,
indeed, a most serious disappointment to the
many who were assembled to witness what
was anticipated by all would be rare sport ; and
the rarer, indeed, such kind of sport is, the better
it will be for this club.

The morning had all the mildness of an au-
tumnal day—not a breath of air seemed in mo-
tion. The ground was completely saturated with
previous rains, and the general impression was,
that it would be an admirable scenting day.
But, when the dogs reached the spot where
reynard was unbagged, it was like the confu-
sion and dispersion of the Babel scene. They
spread about in every direction, without knowing
which way to lead off; and such a gabberini,
they set up, that it might convince a reasonable
one there was foul play going on. Reynard was
turned out in the field on the east side of the
road after passing the bridge. He was no sooner
at liberty than he immediately struck for the
road, took to the opposite field, and suddenly
tacked to the south, and was last seen by the
sportsmen enjoying a slight respite, and an ap-
parently agreeable view on a small hillock, about
a quarter of a mile from the first starting place.
The dogs, however, could not follow him even
to this spot ; but, on being led u?, gave due
notice of his having been there, although they
could not lead away. They now turned towards
the road, and after much close examination,
crossed it, and, occasionally giving tongue,
reached the river side. They finally came up
by the Nuns' Farm-house, and were then called
off by the huntsmen, and taken back to where the
fox was last seen ; and the small stream was closely
examined on either side, to ascertain whether
he had crossed it on the St. Gabriel Farm, but
with no success. It was now decided by the
sportsmen that reynard had taken to cover, and
it would be best to strike for the large wood.—
A part of the dogs, however, seemed to be dis-
satisfied with their former examination of the
river side, and led again down upon us, andafter
passing the Nuns' house, they touched upon
reynard's footsteps, and breaking away, they re-
crossed the road ; but with much difficulty touch-
ing upon his track only occasionally, they
creased the small stream back of St. Denis, and
were at fault in a ploughed field. Here Mr.
Ogilvy had seen the fox pass but a short time
previous, and kindly pointed out the direction
re) nard had taken. The dogs experienced the
utmost difficulty in tracing him along, occasion-
ally sounding a cheering note to encourage the
sportsmen. In this way reynard was tracked

About six miles, wh t. was found quite useless
to pursue further, ai he sport was closed for
the day. It was q; c. dark beforc the party
reached home.

It can only be observed, in ecitclusion, that
the dogs were indefatigable in their work, and
gave the greatest satisfaction by their untiring
engagedness. They did as much as dogs could
do, and more could not be expected of them.—
That the day was a bad one for a scent was fully
proved, although much to the dissatisfaction of
all who had ventured forth for diversion. Had
such expedients been adopted as are usually re-
sorted to in the case °la bag fox-chace in Eng-
land, fine sport might have been enjoyed. Ex-
perience, however, is a better schoolmaster than
precept ; and hereafter it is to be hoped that
similar disappointments will not occur.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From tke Massager des Chambres of Wednesday.

FRANKFORT, DEC. 23.—1 t is no longer doubtful
that Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg has obtained
the suffrages of the three Powers (parties to the
treaty of London), to have the sovereignty of
Greece. Prince Leopold, the King, his father-in-
law, and the English Cabinet, appear to desire that
he should have the title of King, but France and
Russia have not given their assent to this wish, hav-
ing already expressed on several occasions their
/pinion that the Royal title and dignity had been
lavished with too much ease to certain Powers of
the fourth order. The honours of Royalty have
become, as it were, vulgar in Germany, so that the
Duke of Oldenburgh of the Royal House of Holstein
has not yet thought fit to make use of the grand
ducal title which includes that of Royal Highness,
and which was given to him by the Congress at
Vienna.

PARIS, DEC. 30.—The Moniteur of this day con-
tains two ordinances, one dated the 2d, which regu-
lates the application of the sum of 37,866,500 francs
for the special credit granted by the law of the 2d
of August, 1829, for the Departments of Ecclesias-
tical Affairs and Public Instruction during the year
1830; the other, dated the 6th of December, regu-
latiNg the application of the sum of 8,116,000 francs,
granted by the same law for the ordinary expenses
of the department of Foreign Affairs during the
year 1830.

NAPLES, DEC. 14.---The extraordinary expences
caused by the journey of his Majesty have rendered
an augmentation of taxes necessary, and caused ge-
neral discontent. The severity of the winter, and
the high price of wheat and maize, give reason to
apprehend serious troubles. It is to calm the po-:
pular effervescence, which becomes more and more
manifest, especially in the Abruzzos and the Terra
de Lavoro, that our Ministers have invited Admiral
Heiden to come and pass the winter with . all.
his fleet in our fort. The hotel which the Russian
Admiral is to occupy, is already fitted up, and the
necessary preparations are making to accommodate
the Russian ships ha the port.
It is said, that his Sicilian Majesty has desired
another remittance of one million of ducats. It

seems that the million sent beforehand to Spain will
scarcely suffice to pay the expence of the fetes."
