OUTLAWRY OF THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK

THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE PROPRIETORS
OF THE " WEEKLY DISPATCH" NEWSPAPER, AGAINST
DUKE OF BRUNSWICK AND OTHERS.
The indictment in this case arose out of an action re-
cently brought by the Duke of Brunswick against Mr.
Harmer, in which the Duke obtained a verdict, with
5001. damages, upon the oath of one Charles Casimir
Reinhold, that a number of the Weekly Dispatch of the
19th September, 1830, containing an article respecting
the Duke, had been sold to him at the Dispatch office
shin-0y before the commencement of the action, thereby
taking the case out of the Statute of Limitations, which
Mr. Harmer had pleaded. It was afterwards clearly
established that Reinhold had committed perjury, and
upon a new trial of the action the verdict was in favour
of Mr. Harmer. The Duke and Reinhold having ab-
sconded, and refused to appear to the indictment, pro-
ceedings of outlawry were taken, and the fourth procla-
mation of outlawry was made this day, in the Sheriff's
County Court of Middlesex, against the Duke, by the
name and description of Charles Frederick Augustus
William Guelph, late of the parish of St. Marylebone,
in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; and also against
Reinhold.

THE VACANT BISHOPRIC.—It was stated last night, in
well-informed political circles, that the Bishopric of Lin-
coln, vacant by the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Kaye,
had been offered, by Lord Aberdeen, at the.spe

partially burned. Mr. Bellinghurst, surgeon, described
the state of the body, which presented a horrible spec-
tacle, and stated that, the mother having failed in an
attempt to burn it in the kitchen grate, had afterwards.
concealed it. From the state it was in, he could not
say whether it had lived.or not. The. jury returned the
following verdict : " Deceased was found dead with
marks of violence by fire upon the body, but whether
she was born alive or not there is not sufficient evidence
to prove."
, FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—Yesterday after-
noon an inquest was held at the Clapham and Battersea
Union, before Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East
Surrey, upon the body of Samuel Howell, aged 17, an
apprentice to a surgical m
instrumeaker and gas tube
manufacturer, who was upset autnt
of a boat at or near
Battersea-bridge, on Sunday afternoon last. Richard
Dalton Miller knew the deceased well ; he was a mem-
ber of a rowing club. Last Sunday morning the de-
ceased called upon him,' and they proceeded to the boat-
house of Mr. Wentswell, boat-builder and landlord of
the Ship Tavern, Fore-street. They hired an out-rigger
of him for practising, as they were going to row a match.
They had returned to Battersea-bridge, and witness said,
" Sam, you've made the arch," and he replied, " All
right ;" but directly afterwards he said, " Oh, Dick,"
and he fell into the water, as did the witness, and
both sunk. He rose soon afterwards, and got on to the
cross piles of the second
he was there arch on the Surrehe syaw deceased
side of Bat-
tersea-bridge. Whilst
rise, and hallooed to him to make
but for the boat,
tuwrnhiched
was bottom upwards ;he did so, the
round, and he sunk again, but rising again be appeared
to be trying .to make a motion, but he could not, and
sunk, and he saw no more of him alive. An eight-oared
boat took him off the piles of the bridge, and being at
his back he
.did not see the accident. might It have
been the oar slipping out of the rowlock, or i a
crab." They had rowed' last Sunday week in an out-
rigger, but not the same one. The jury returned a ver-
dict of "Accidentally drowned."
MINES.---We have on several occasions draw
on
Northatten-
tion to the probability of the copper regions f
America being called upon to meet the increased demand
for this metal, especially since the late
S advance Several
ass
ciations have lately been brought forward with this
view, and to-day we are informed of the formation
of a company, which, under the title of the Nova
Scotia Mining and Copper Smelting Company, pro-
poses to work the larger copper mines on Indian Point,
a promontory in the Bay of Funday, distant only
nine days by steam from England. The capital is fixed
tit 500,000/. in 50,000 shares of 101. each, with a deposit
of Si. per share. The conditional purchase of a terri-
tory of 20,000 acres, excessively rich in metal, has
been concluded, the purchase money for which will
be 13,500 shares fully, and 20,000 shares half paid
up, leaving on the first call a working capital
82,5001., which, it is believed, will be sufficient for
working the company' without further calls. Sur-
veys on a most extensive scale, and reports on the ores,
have already been obtained from a great number of prac-
tical and scientific men, including Sir
Ure, Mr. Adam Murray, and others. The report pre-
sented by Mr. Adam Murray is of the most extraordi-
nary character, as regards the value of the property,
which he estimates at upwards of nine millions
sterling,
with the price of copper at 601. per ton only,
the present
price being 1401. Iron ores are also stated to exies ist in
great abundance on the property, and the
orfacng, &cilitin
the shape of fuel water-power, ease of
are described as being peculiarly great. The great line
of railway from Halifax to Quebec, already surveyed, is
also to pass through the district. A charter has been
applied for, and, if not obtained, application will be
made for a colonial act, limiting the liability of the
shareholders.—Daily News.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On Sunday morning last a
most singular accident happened at Monk Bretton
Church. It appears that on the Rev: A. Lambert tak-
in.- his place at the communion table, for the purpose of
administering the sacrament, and on the wife of Mr.
Thomas Wandsworth, who was the first command the
cant,
kneeling down, the floor beneath her gaie way, an
may
lady suddenly disappeared. The consternation, as
be imagined, was very great. Assistance, however, was
instantly rendered, by putting a ladder 'down' the' hole,
and happily the lady was found at hen d
epth
depth of eight
feet uninjured; which was most provid.
