ADVENTURE AT AYR.

Upon a certain occasion, having visited Ayr
disguise, the attention of Wallace was at-

.ratted by a crowd collected near the quarters o

the military. In the midst of a circle of his own
countrymen, there stood an Englishman of huge
dimensions, playing off his raillery against the
Scots, and offering, for a groat, an opportunity!
of avenging any injury they might have received
from the English, by permitting the best among
them to exert their utmost strength in striking a
blow upon his back with a poll which he held in
hand ; accompanying this absurd declaration with
'certain ridiculous gestures and scurrilous lan-
guage, while his mailed companions, with arms
akimbo, stood loitering around, laughing, and
enjoying theehumour of their bulky buffoon.
Wallace approached, and tendered treble the
sum for the permission offered. This was rea-
dily agreed to by the jester, who winked to hip
companions as he prepared to fulfil the condi-
tions. The wary Scot had observed the trick ;
and, grasping the pole above the place where ii
was intended to give way, he let fall a blow
with such good will, that the spine yielded to its
force, and the foolish witling stink with a
groan at the feet of his companions. Instantly
the swords of the English were out to revenge
the slaughter of their favourite. One of them,
tdvancing towards the offender, received a blow
on the head, which laid him lifeless across the

body of the jester. Surrounded on all sides by
Lhe increasing numbers of his adversaries, ht
plied his weapon with a rapidity and a force
which kept the most forward of them at
bay. Over the steel bacinet ofa powerful trooper.
the fatal pole was shivered to pieces. Others.
seeing him, as they imagined, disar►ned by this
tccident, rushed forward, expected to over-
whelm him with their numbers ; but on drawing

is sword, which he had concealed under hi;

dress, they as quickly receded from the well-
known power of his arm. Having, by his trust)

blade, cleared the way to one of outlets
the town, he was there attacked by two of the
boldest of the garrison, who had not before
.ningled in the fray. The object of one of them
appeared to be, to engage him in a little sword-
play, and thus give his party an opportunity of
:lemming him in, but Wallace, aware of the
value of his time, broke through the guard of
his artful opponent, with a blow which clove
him to the teeth, while the other, in the'
act of retreating, received a thrust through an
opening in his armour, which, reaching his
,vitals, laid him senseless by the side of his corn-
'panion. Five of the English soldiers had now
Callen beneath the arm of the youthful warrior ;
and the rest seemed so averse to come within
his reach, that he had time to gain a little copse
in the neighbourhood, where he had left his
horse before he entered the town, and, bound-
ing into the saddle, the hardy trooper was soon
beyond the reach of any fresh assistance they
might procure. Horse and foot were, however,
soon on the alert ; but after a long and a fruit-
less pursuit, they were obliged to return—some
of those who had already witnessed his prowess
no way displeased at their want of success.—

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAT.)

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL.

FROM LLOYD'S.

Lord TENTERDEN, on the motion for the
third reading of this Bill, moved an amendment,
which was agreed to, after which the Bill was read
A third time and passed.
Earl GREY presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Innishaven against any increase of taxes
in Ireland.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the se-,
cond reading of the Shuber Ireadie Canal Bill.
Lord DURII NM wished to hear from the Noble
Earl some explanation of tho grounds on which the
grant was made in the Bill.

PonTsuouvr, Juxt 25.—Arrived the Elphinston,
hatra, from London, for Bengal.
Pr.smourn, Jutis 24.—Arrived off port the Mount

Trieste.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said it was for
.7,ranting a sum of 15,0001. or 20,000/. in aid of the
work of the canal.
Lord DURHAM was aware of that fact, as
every one must be who had read the Bill. What he
wanted to know was, the grounds on which such a
grant was made. It was the practice in the other
House of Parliament to explain the grounds on
which any grant of money was required, and it
ought to be the same in this House. He hoped the
Noble Earl would be prepared to give some expla-
nation on the subject on Monday or Tuesday.
The Bill was (we believe) postponed.
The Archbishop of YORK presented petitions
from Axford and Stourbridge, against the punish—,
ment of death for forgery.
