Brightwell, Berk.
Fhe Lord Bi-hop of Exeter has collated the Rev. W. J.
Philipotts to the Vicarage of Sr. Ewnie, Latiant, Corn-
wall, vacant by the death of the Rev. C. Cardew. The
Vicar, we suppose, bears no closer affinity to the Bishop
than the accidental fact of bearing the same name.
The Rev. 11. B. Snoeke, of Portsea, has been licensed
by the Bishop of Exeter to the Curacy of Torpoi n t Chapel,
Devenpert.

The Lord Chamberlain has appointed the Hon. and

Breconshire, on the nomination of Archdeacon Payne.

FRENCII CIVIL LIST.—It appears that the
estimate of the Civil List given by the Cuurrier Francais I
certainly emanated from Government. The 2Vational now
states that its list was incomplete, and publishes a fresh

cois. The following is a copy of the statement in qUeS-

COMPANION FOR THE KITCHEN GARDEN.
—A new and cheap edition of " Mr. Phillips's Corn-
' pinion for the Kitchen Garden" has just appeared, in
which the various qualities, purposes, and modes of cul-
ture of all kinds of vegetaide productions are minutely ex-
plained. In this work the object of the author has been
to render the knowledge of plants entertaining and useful,
not only to botanists, but to those who have hitherto
deemed it a difficult and uninteresting science. He has
endravoured to ascertain of what countries the vegetables
now cultivated are natives, the earltcat account of their
cultivation, and how far they have improved by atten-
tion, or degenerated by neglect; also, the various uses
made of them by the ancients, as well as the moderns of
different countries—a species of inlOrmation which cannot
fail to be of the greatest utility.
We understand that a respectably-dressed
stranger has been making the tour of the coffee-houses in
Bethnal-green, during the week, for the purpose of preach-
ing resistance to the Bill, and a withdrawal of confidence
from the Government. lie refuses to tell his name . but
means have been adopted to trace him to his residence, in
order that his employers may be discovered.— Waterer.
BURKING IN LEEDS.—The appalling pran^.
Lice of Burking appears to be extending. On Monday
evening, soon after dusk, three persons were seen to come
out of an uninhabited house, in Sheepscar, in the suburbs
of Leeds, and place a box on a truck, with which they pro-
ceeded rapidly to the Courier coach-office, in Leeds, where
the box was placed in the coach by one of the men, the
other two going away. Suspicion being excited, a police
officer was applied to, and the box was examined, when
it was found to contain the body. of a young min about
twenty years of age, packed with sawdust. The box was
covered with canvass and corded, and addressed " lion.
BEN. TnoMrsoN, mail-office, E linbro', per Courier, Nov.
7, 1831." The loan who placed the box on the coach,
named JAMES NORMAN, was taken into custody, and as
the house out of which it was brought had been lately taken
by JoaN C. PICKERING, a schoolmaster, in Leeds, a per-
son immediately went to his lodgings, where he and a nun
named Jones Honnsax were found, and they both accom-
panied the messenger, and were taken into custody. On
examining Piceenisa's lodgings, implements were found
for opening graves and coffins. The body has been since
exposed to public view in the Court-house for the purpose
of being examined, but though seen by thousands it has
not been recognized. .t medical gentleman, by whom it
has been examined, has given his opinion that it never
had been buried, and that it died in health, and there was
lesson to suspect foul play. The prisoners bad been
brought before the Magistrates on Tuesday and Wednesday,
but were remanded to give time for farther evidence. A Go•
renter's inquest is to be held. —.Leeds Intefligerreer.

While I was at Grand Cairo, vast numbers were falling
victims to the plague, and having heard from a man who
attended in the duties of an nil shop, that he dreaded not the
infection on account of the nature of his calling, I felt
determined to pelt his assertion to the test, and having
oiled myself, more particularly, hands, arms, face, and
neck, I went into a house in one of the narrow streets
where three persons were said to be infected. I found
one dead. and the two others in the list stage of this
dreadful disease, and I handled the three without infection.
In subsequent conversation with many Saida of Arabia,
and well informed Aft icans, I found the 83111 P feeling, of
the protecting property of the anointing system strong in
their belief. But lam persuaded in my mind, from the
information communicated from all parts where the India
cholera has been most virulent, that it is not epidemic,
nor contagious, and that it is communicated by injection
from a small minute insect, and I think I am borne out
in this opinion, nnt only from the fact of foels and river
fish having been infected by it, but also from the cases
that have appeared at Sunderland. The crews arrived
there from the Baltic have no disease among them, but
the insect has been introduced, hiving lain latent in their
clothes, or other matter brought in those vessels, and
landed from them and not undergone fumigation. The
case also of a vessel from four to six miles leeward of an
infected port in the Baltic having four of her crew infected
at the same hour, but the disease not subsequently
communicated to the remainder of the crew, goes far also
to prose my hypothesis correct. It therefore becomes ab-
solutely a necessary precaution, that not only the general
cargo, but every article of clothing, and other matter, from
infected places, should be properly and strongly fumigated.
To prevent the probability (if hot the possibility) of in-
fection being communicated (by way of experiment), let
all those who are in attendance on cholera patients rule
themselves well over with camphorated oil. The oil I
know will render the pores impervious to epidemic, and
the camphor prevent any insect from approaching any sur.-
face impregnated with it: at the same time frequently
using means, by tobacco or otherwise, of exciting the
salivary glands, merely to coat with mucus that part of
the mouth subject to the drying influence of external air,
fur natute has so lined with mucus, the passage of the
thorax, and intestines, that they are not to be infected by
respiration. You may take the strongest poison internally,
but if cot in sufficient quantity to remove nature's safe.
guard, the mucus of the thorax and intestines, it will
not prove fatal. I will mention a case of the stroneest
nature, in which the liability of the porous system to
receive external matter is pourtrayed. When I com-
manded one of his Majesty's ships in 1800, having on
board nearly 500 men, on reaching the Gulf of Arabia
we became short of water to a most seriously alarm-
ing degree; I hail recourse to a temporary distilling
machine, but the heat of the cream melting the solder, the
last resource was to use the fire engine with salt water,
and having placed the men in groups, the engine was
played on them, being only clothed with a shirt and
trowsers ; the fresh part of the water was imbibed the ough
the pores, the thirst was satiated, while the salt remained
on the clothes, which on becoming soo❑ dry (the thermo-
meter then at ninety degrees) was as stiffened with salt as

though they been subject to a hard frost in a northern cli-
niee, and :nost extraordinary, the urinary secretions were
as well sunplied as though the liquid had been received
through the thorax. I sin readily led to conceive the
possibility of a minute insect, injecting a sufficient poi-
sonous matter, so as to cause the disease now called cho-
lera. A musquito, a very common and minute insect,
will inject at one insertion sufficient poison to cause serious
irritation, and very often produce cause for amputation
and consequent death, instances of which I have seen on
the banks of the Ganges. The finest thread slightly sa-
turated with the essential oil of tobacco, passed through the
muscle of the largest of the feithered tribe, will cause in-
slant death, and doubtless, would produce nearly the same
effect on the human frame. The smallest snake in India,
is the most venomous dined with Sir John Duncan,
Governor of Bombay, at Pare lle House ; when I passed
the sentinel at the door, he was in perfect health ; berme
I sat down to dinner (only a few minutes elapsed) the
same sentinel was stung and dead ; the snake was killed,
and I found it only five inches long. There is a fish the
touch of which, however lightly, instantly neutralises the
whole muscular power of the hand and arm, and renders
it to a state of numbness. Another fish by the touch pro.
duces a stinging sensation to almost a maddening degree.
The sting of a wasp or bee has often caused death, par-
ticularly where it has entered the mouth and inserted its
sting through the mucus of the thorax, but experience has
proved to me, that, kill the said insects, and immediately
swallow them, the mucus not being broken, their poison
has no effect on the system. Why then should it astonish,
that an insect should inject poison, so as to cause all and
every symptom of the disease we call cholera ?
In the future impressions of your valuable Journal I

mill offer to the public the surest means of purifying in-
fected rooms and houses, remarks on the pest fly, &c., and
though I may be liahle to criticising sarcasm, from those
who exclaim that any thing so simple as a dip in the
Jordan must be nonsense, still I aver that the means I
shall propose ought to lee had recourse to, as it does not
preclude the use of any other, and should my recommen-
dation prove successful, I only solicit the public declaration
to that effect. I am, Sir, your obedien, servant,

YEOVIL POLITICAL UNION.—The members
of this Union met on Monday evening, at the Pall Inn, in
this town, and before the appointed hour had arrived
numbers were in attendinee, anxious to get their names
enrolled in the books of the Union. The greater part of
the evening was taken up in admitting members, and ap-
pointing a Committee to act as a Political Council ; and
never could unanimity have been more shown by any meet-
ing than was witnessed amongst the members, as, on the
different proposals being severally put, not a dissentient
was amongst them.—Sherbornc Journal.

In Mr. BURKE'S new Dictionary of the Ex-
tinct, Dormant, and Suspended Peerages, jest published,
are embodied some of the most curious episodes of exalted
personal achievement and adventure that are to be found
in the annals of the country;
as will be seen parieularly
by reference to the accouno recorded of the SanNEvS,
Earls er Leicester, embracing the thrice noble names of
Sir PHILIP SY or; to-, the flower of knighthood and poetry.

ballad, describing a series of adventures in the time a

The accused said she was very willing to be
ruined ; and upon her refusing to answer a question
that would have set that point at rest, the Magis-
trate dismissed the case, admcnishieg the accused to
avoid such an immoral course in future.
MAR YLEB ONE.
On Saturday Lord Doneraile's butler, William
Martin, having been taken at his Lordship's seat at
Colnbrook, was charged with giving a false character
in favour of his own wife, M:ry Martin, by which
she got into the service of William Charles L9M-
bnt, Esq., in Quebec-street, and where, during
that period, she had stolen some articles, in April
last, for aihich she is at present in Newgate.
The Magistrates were decidedly of opinion that
the penalty of 201., which the Act inflicts, or an
imprisonment for three months, must be adjudged
in the present case.
Mr. Lambert declined receiving a moiety of the
tine, to which he was entitled—the other half, of
10/., with about 151. in costs and law expenses,
which had been incurred, were hereupon paid by
Lard Doneraile.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A gentleman named Wyatt, who, it was stated,
holds the rank of Captain in the army, was brought
up on a warrant, charged with threatening the life
of Miss Lucy Gibbs, aged about 24, and of ex-
tremely prepossessing appearance. It appeared that
the defendant and the fair prosecterix had been living
together as man and wife for some weeks, when,
owing to some disagreement between them, the lady
left his protection, and went to reside with a female
friend in York-square. Mr. Wyatt, on discovering
her retreat, went thither, and on finding that she
would not return, proceeded to such hostilities as to
give sufficient ground for the present proceeding.
After a great deal of criminatory and recriminatory
conversation, the Magistrates advised the parties to
go out and settle the difference between themselves.
This was found impossible, and the defendant was
ordered to enter into his own recognizances in the
sum of 40/. to keep the peace for six months.
LAMBETH-STREET.
On Saturday three poor fellows, who gave their
names as Thomas Knight, Richard Ladd, and Wil-
liam D .vies,applied ro the sittingMagistrat es, Messrs.

From the statement of the applicants, it appeared
that they had been engaged, the two former at
Chatham, on the 24th of last month, and the latter
about the same time, in Westminster, to join an ex.
sedition at present preparing by the agents of Don
Pedro, destined for Madeira, or some of the Portu-
guese islands, but for what object did not transpire,
and promised Is. a day as pay, besides very fin ter-
ing pro-pets in the event of the success cf the en-
terprise, which was almost certain. The poor fel-
lows at once volunteered their services in the cause,
and they remained at Chatham until Thursday last,
when they got orders to come up to town, and join
several others intended for the expedition, at their
barracks, premises belonging to the Steam-washing
Company, at Mill-wall, Poplar. They did so; but
on Friday evening, being examined by a surgeon,
they were told that they were unfit for service, and
were at once turned out of the place by a person
calling himself Serjeant-Major. They applied for
their pay of a shilling a day, promised them, since
they had been engaged, but it was refused them, and
they were told to go about their business ; and they,
being without a farthing in their pockets, would ,
have been compelled to walk the streets all night,
had they not got shelter in a station-house. The •
case of one of the applicants was one of peculiar
hardship. Ile had been for many years a soldier in
the British army, and had served during the whole
campaigns in the Peninsula, and fought at Waterloo.
From his experience as a soldier, considerable pro-
mises were held out to him, and he was at once
rated as a sedeant. By these tiat,tring prospects he
gave up a place of constant employment, and all he
received since he joined the embryo expedition was
4s. ; and in marching up from Chatham on Thurs-
day, he was compelled to sell his hit to procure some
bread and cheese for himself and companion; and
he, as well as those who were along with him, had
not a single farthing in their possession. The.), now
wanted to have a summons for wages against Cap-
tains Gray and Moss, who appeared to have been the
principal agents. They further stated, that there
were about 150 persons at present in the barracks at
Mill-wall, ready to be shipped on board a vessel in
the river, but that they (the applicants) understood
that an order had been sent from Government to
prevent the sailing of the vessel on such an expedi-
tion.

Mr. WALKER admitted that the case of the ap-
plicants was certainly one of great hardship; and
regretted much that he had it not in his power to
do any thing for them. He then gave them a shil-
ling each, and advised them to return to their native
places as soon as they could.
By the direction of Mr. NORTON, an officer went
on Saturday in company with Mrs. Bouton, the
grand-daughter of Caroline 'Walsh, the old woman
alleged to have been " Burkett" by Mrs. Cook, to
inquire of the different pawnbrokers in the neigh-
bourhood whether any of the old woman's garments
had been pledged. In Rosemary-lane they ascer-
tained, from some of the dealers in garments in
" Rag Fair," that the woman Cook, who was well
known there, had offered for sale a fustian pocket, a
figured stuff petticoat, a cap with a thread edge and
a thick border, and a pair of knitted grey stockings,
all which, from the description given of them, Mrs.
Banton really believes to have been those of hei
grandmother. She made the pocket and knitted
the stockings, and should be able to identify them
positively ; and it is expected that soave of the ar-
ticles will yet be found.
A publican, residing in Rosemary-lane, about
twelve years ago kept a house in 'West Smithfield,
which Cook and his wife used to frequent ; Cool,
was then known as a body-snatcher, and the woman
as a cat-skinner.
Lea stated that in an obscure eoreer of Cook'•

The prosecutor, an elderly weather-beaten mad-
n,r, who appeared comp'etely out of his element,
and whose attention was principally devoted to tho
King's Arms over the Bench, made several attesripte
to begin his story before he could proceed, until at
length bring encouraged, he roared ow, " That
precious land-shal lz there has cleared me our,—
four fives, eight sovereigns, and lots of silver, all
gone—not a shot in the loch-r; but wluit'a the use
of making a fuss about it ? the mwey's gone : good
day, your Honour."
The Captain was about to put on his hat and
leave the (Alice, when the Magistrate said he mu.r
hear something more about the matter, and tErcc ed
him to proceed with his story.
The Captain then related his adventures tvith the
" laud-shut k," and stated that he received 301. of
his broker on Wednesday, and afterwards Sallie I out
on a cruise. He was stn, ring through Ratcliffe-
highway, when he fell in with the pri;oner, who to .:k
him in tow, and offered to take care of him and his
money. He thanked her for her kindness, anti they
fist set sail for a grog-shop, where he changed one
of his fives, and treated his companion with lots of
grog. She then conveyed him to an eating-house,
a here they took in some provisions, and afterwards
steered fo- the play. On the conc!usion of the per-
formances, his companion offered to cJnvev hint to
a snug birth, and she took him through several in
and out courts, lanes, and alley, until they arrived
at a house. He had not been there lung before the
landlady asked for some money, but on putting his
hands in his pockets, he fotmti he %V 4S cleared out,
in fact lie had not a shot in the locker, and his con-
voy etl company, and bolted.
Mozii,trate—A pretty voyage on hsae made of
it. Why how came you to pick up with such a
dirty ugly trull 4• the prisoner at the bar ? Captain
—Why, your Honour, she looked as handsome again
last night.
Magistrate—l suppose you were intoxicated ?
Captain—Why I was rather more than three sheets
in the wind, but what's the use of all this fuss about
the money ?
Magistrate—We must make some further inqu'ries
shout it. Where did you last find your money safe ?
Captain—Why, your Honour, it was all safe in the
provision-shop where we made port.
WHam Biller, a police constable, No. 48, K, oh;
Thursday morning, between two and three o'clock,
was on duty when he heard rho Captain calling out
most lustily for a policeman opposite a house o:
fame in Twine-court, Shadwell. He said he had
been robbed of 30/., and gave a description of the
prisoner, whom he found secreted in a coffee-shop in
the neighbourhood, but 3s. was all the money he
found upon her. Ile had no doubt the prosecutor's
money was in the hands of a confederate. The pri-
soner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said
the Captain had no money when he met with her ;
but this he positively denied.
The Magistrate remanded the prisoner from Thurs-
day until Svurday, when she was again placed at
the bar.

Butler, the officer, had ken unable to procure any
fresh evidence, and the prosecutor since the List exa-
mination had gone to sea with his ship.
Gtptain RICIMELL regretted that he was com-
pelled to discirarge the prisoner, whom he knew to
be a most notorious thief. lie directed the police to
keep a watchful eye on her movements, and if they
traced any of the notes, and could procure any addi-
tional evidence, she could be again apprehended on
the return of the prosecutor from Newe;otle.
