COMMITMENT.—Marriott Brooks, as a rogue
and vagabond, to be imprisoned one calendar month. This
woman was committed to our gaol on the lath February, 1822,
for trial at the Sessions, charged with a similar offence, under
the name of Harriet Wilson, who carried the cap of liberty
before the carriage of Mr. Hunt, at Manchester, on the 16th
August.—(lierkshire Chronicle.)

Comm.—On the 25th ult. the Dir.ctor. of
the Royal Observatory at, Marseilles discovered,
at a quarter before two o'clock in the morning,
in the constellation of Taurus, a new comet, in-
visible to the naked eye. Its position on that
morning, at live minutes past two o'clock (true
time) at Marseilles was: right ascension, 62 1-3
deg.,declension 26 3-4 deg. North. Its nucleus was
very feeble and confused ; and the Surrounding
nebulosity appeared sensibly elongated iu the
direction opposite to the sun. M. Arajo announc-
ed a few days ago to the French Academy of
Sciences, that M. Pons re-discovered on the 15th
ult. the short•period comet, precisely at the place
%%here it ought to be, according to the ephemeris
of M. Eucke. This re-appearance of the comet
is considered a pledge for that expected to ap-
pear to cards the end of the year 1828, or the
beginning of 1829.

GERMAN SUFFERERS BY INUNDATIONS.
ACCOUNTS have just reached the Corn.
the • mittec of a fresh calamity of this kind which befel the
towns of Ritzebuttel and Cuxhaven, in the night between
`he 3d and 4th instant.. Such was the fury of. the waves, driven
by a Wind resembling a hurricane, that the immense dike was
suddenly washed away in several places; many houses were
totally demolished, and many more injured beyond repair.
Several lives have been lost, numbers of cattle have perished,
91LI both the arable and meadow land been rendered unproduc-
tive for the present. year. As it is an agricultural district, the
inhabitants are thus deprived of every resource. . 'The Com-
mittee cannot forbear to recommend.their forlorn state to the
kind, consideration of the Public, and trust that they shall be
enabled to contribute towards the relief of these'poor industri-
°l4 people, many of whom have been bereft of their all.
The Committee meets every Monday, between the hours of
'two and four o'clock, at the &tide Coffee-House, Thread-

INDIA.

A file of the Madras Government Gazette to
the Ist of October has arrived, from which we
have made the following extracts :---
" SUPPLEMENT TO THE MADRAS GOVERNMENT GA-

ZETTE, SEPT. 28.
" CALCUTTA, SEPT. 11

" We have beard that an action has taken place, in which
the opposition on the part of the enemy had been of a more de-
cided character than heretofore, and that in consequence we had
experienced a proportionate increase of loss in wounded.
`rhe Prince of Sarrawaddy had not arrived, but was daily
expected. His force had, by report, dwindled down to B,OOU
uteri. _ .

StPT. 14.

" We stated yestertlity that the force with the Prince of Sar.
rawaddy had, by report, dwindled down to 8,000 men. This
latter, however, we imagine to be a mistake, occasioned by the
simple omission of 0, and that it ought to be 80,000— a surmise
in which we are confirmed by a sight of letters since the above
remark was made, which letters state the force expected to
a►nount to 70,000, of which as good an account is hoped to be
given as of the 7,000. With respect to the report, to which we
lately alluded, of the projected attack having actually been
made and having failed, the arrival of the Ernaad does not at
all invalidate it; since the report might easily have come via
Arracan, since the sailing of the Ernaad."

F,•0171 the LONDON GAZETTE, Feb. 19.

At the Court at Carlton-house, the. 16th of February, 1825 ;
present, the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
His Majesty in Council was this day pleased to appoint
Thomas Williams, of Rushden-hall, Esq. to be Sheriff of the
county of Northampton, in the room of Sir Robert Henry Cum-
ming, of Horton, Bart.

Whitehall, Feb. 18, 1825.
The King has been pleased to appoint the Rev. John Bir-
rell to be second Minister of the Church and Parish of Cupar,
in the Presbytery of Cupar, and Shire of Fife, vacant by the
promotion or Dr. Adamson, late Second Minister of the said
Church, to the Office of First Minister thereof.

paring for that iniquitous enterprize, professions the most tran-
quilizing used to appear in the Ministerial Journals. This
dissimulation was kept up to the last moment; and then it was
smilingly flung to the winds. We attach therefore no import-
ance to those conciliatory puffs, particularly as experience shews
that they are often a clmtk to cover some meditated violence.—
They may be sincere in the present instance, and, if they are,
1 they are t-nly a homage to the power of this great and free coun-
try, and not a.proof either of the justice or mbderation of the
French Cabinet.

INUNDATION IN GERMANY.

The llamburgh bailiwick of Ritzebuttel, toge-
ther with Cuxhaven and the isle of Neeawerk, belonging to it,
was visited by a most tremendous calamity cn the night be-
tween the 3d and 4th of February. The wind, after it had
blown with great violence from the west, turned on the 3d to
the:northward, and continued to rage without ceasing with the
fury Of a hurricane. The water, increased by the spring title
which happened on that day, rose to an unexampled height ;
the waves were driven with terrific force over the dike, and
washed away parts of it in several places, in Cuxhaven, to
the very base. Human power was of no avail ; in a few mo-
ments the furious billows inundated the whole bailiwick, and
overthrew in their way whatever opposed their course. A few
inconsiderable tracts of heath land, situated somewhat higher,
alone escaped. The inhabitants, who had- suffered severely
from the calamities of war, and who have been greatly reduced
in their circumstances by the unfavourable price of corn, are
totally ruined,-and without the strenuous aid of the benevolent,
they cannot help themselves. The husbandman has not only
lost his crops of winter corn for the present year, but both
arable and pasture land fave been rendered unservice-
able for several years, and it will require a great expence
to bring them again into condition, for which money is unfor-
tunately wanting. Great numbers of cattle have been drowned ;
many houses have been so completely carried away as to
leave no traces behind, and still more have received such in-
jury as to be incapable of repair. Several persons have found
their graves in the flOod, anti many lost all they possessed,
and large sums will be required to relieve only the most
urgent nece,Sities. The Jupe Nemverk is totally laid waste,
all the cattle there have perished, and the inhabitants saved
their lives with the loss of nearly all their property. The ge-
neral distress is farther aggravated by the absolute want of
water tit for drinking. In this great calamity, the liberal aid of
the philanthropic AVM certainly not be withheld. A Committee
appointed for the purpose is now engaged in investigating the
state, wants, and losses, of each, in relieving the most pressing
necessities, and in providing sheltez, clothing, and food. Con-
tributions for this purpose will be most thankfully received by
Dr. Banks, Actuary of the Bailiffs' Court. and also by the un-
dersigned, and a public account will be rendered of their con-
scientious application.

Ritzebuttel, Feb..B, 1325.

cover 1001. from a Air. FultzEmits, which had

By BONINGTON MOUBRAY, Esq.
Fifth Edition, enlarged by a Treatise on Brewing, adapted to
the use of private Families.
" Mr. Moubray's little book on the breeding, rearing, and
fattening all kinds of domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestion-
ably the most practical work on the subject in our language.—
The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific de.
tail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible
terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard—two or three
pigs, with a breeding sow, and a cow for cream, milk, butter,
cheese—in an English country house, appears indispensible ;
and to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable
expence, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By
adopting the plan of his work, any family may furnish their
table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are
obliged to pay a the markets; and the farmer and breeder
may render it the source of considerable profit."—(Farmer's
Journal.)

plete the former Editions, price Is.

EXPLOSION OF POWDER-MILLS IN FRANCE.

• The Journal d'lndre and: Loire contains the
following details of the horrible accident which
happened at the powder-mills-of Ripault, three
leagueS from Tours At five minutes after one
in the afternoon one of the ‘workshops where the
powder is corned blew up.at the very instant
twelve of the. workmen were returning into it
after dinner. Theie twelve unfortunate men
are almost all. fathers of families ; their limbs'
were scattered abroad . to great distances ; some
were found among some poplars 150 paces off.
The explosion was so loud that it was heard at
more than six leagues from "the place. The
shock was so great that the doors and windows
were shaken by it at Tours, and even some
panes of the glass broken.—" This building,
which contained three thousand weight of pow-
der, has entirely disappeared, and it is with dif-
ficulty that the foundations can be discovered.—
A magazine in which 25,000 weight of, powder
was deposited, and which was at a distance of
about 100 paces, has been much damaged ;
the roof has entirely given way under the fall of
the beams and other parts of the ruin. The shock
was, so felt there, that all the powder was shaken
out of the barrels in which it was contained.—
The persons employed abOut the Ripault maga-
zine, full of courage and devotedness, hastened
immediately to pump upon the magazine ; and it
is perhaps tb this act of devotion that may be
ascribed the preservation_ of that
_magnificent
establishment, the finest of its kind, perhaps,
which at _present exists in Europe, The imagi-
nation is startled at the bare thoughts of the ca-
lamities which might have followed the explosion
of these twenty-five thousand weight of powder.
—The other T workshops and magazines of
Ripault, have:. suffered' considerably in con.
quence of the explosion ; the dwelling houses
of M. Robin (the Chief Commissary), and of M.
the Lieutenant-Colonel Petit: de Chastenay (the
Inspector), are no longer habitable. The roofs
are totally destroyed, not one of the window-
frames has escaped damage,. and -every window-
pane is reduced to dust. In all likelihood the
occasion of the explosion will never be known.—
Some attribute it to a very slight cause : the door
of the workshop being open, it is thought that
some grains of sand, agitated by (he wind and
rubbed One against another, may have- produced
a spark which would haVe occasioned the explo-
ision. Two persons only—one a soldier stationed
at Ripault, have been seriously wounded by the
alling ruins of the building."

CHARGE OF BIGAMY.

WonsurP-STREET.--Yestterday a young man named
7'. Wyatt, who-had. been in: the service of Mr. Christie, of
Hackney-Wick, as groont.and coachman, was brought Wore
Mr. TWYFORD for final_ examination, on a charge of inter-
marrying with Sarah .Borton, a former wife being still alive.
The circumstances' as detailed in evidence, were as follow :
In May, 1820, the prisoner married a young woman named
Martha Daly, in the parish of Newington-Butts, who shortly
after their marriage went.into the service of a respectable trades-
man in St. Paul's Church-yard,: and the prisoner himself after-
wards entered into the service of Mr. Christie, where he became
enamoured of his fellow-servant; Sarah Horton, and in August,
1322, married her at the -parish church of St. John, Hackney.
Here he was frequently visited-by-his first wife, between whom
and the second a sort of intimacy sommenced, but so artfully
were matters conducted; that each wife, was unconscious of the
claim the other had. .In process of time the second wife, being
deserted by her husband,
.became chargeable to the parish,and
the prisoner was taken into custody for the desertion, and
brought before the Magistrate. The parish officers having then
heard of his former marriage,lhe was remanded until yesterday
to give time for the production of evidenceof The first marriage.
Yesterday the first marriage- was proved-by the evidence of a
brother-in-law, a subscribing, witness, who swore to the person
of the prisoner.
Sarah Horton deposed that, on the 10th August, 1822, she
was married to the prisoner, and produced the certificate of such
marriage. - - •
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

sQuur AMERICA.

Vron: the* Sire York Evening Post, July. 16.1
The latest accounts from Rio de la Plata represent the state
of the matters at Buenos . Ayres as likely to involve the Bra-
zilian Emperor in a struggle with the patriots; the issue of
which, especially if it is true, as is said, that Bolivar is at the
bottom of the late-revolt, appeirs to be no way doubtful. The
Liberator is believed to have an understanding with Buenos
Ayres, and to hive induced the latter to cause a rupture with
his imperial Majesty, in order that he (Bolivar) may have a.
'lea for marching from one end of Brazil to the other, and es-
tablish a Republican Government... The northern provinces,
where discontent was prevailing, were expected to revolt on
hearing the intelligence-front the - river. Plate. It can scarcely
be expected, after the rapid progess.whio liberal opinions have
made in South America, that the patriots will lay dOwn their
arms until they-have rootad out every vestige of former tyrAnny.
'Democracy and Royalty are so incompatible, that they -cannot
exist long in each others neighbourhood.
The French Commissioneis in Peru and Chili have been or-
dered by the respective GM,ernments of 'these Republics to
leave them in hours. The one is.. accused of having in-
tetfered in•coneerns of importance, and endeavoured to over-
throw the Government ; the other of openly applauding, at the
bar of Congress;tbe cries of the disorderly, who had called for
a dissolution of that body. It will be recollected that we some
time ago published an article, accusing the French Govern-
ment of having spies in Colombia and .Peru, whose object
was to effect a counter -revolution in favour of royalty. This
change was afterwards denied in the Paris Ministerial
Papers, although, from the facts whicli have since transpired,
there never was any reason to doubt the correctness of die in-
•
• fontation.
Intelligence.of.a late date has been., received at Baltimore
from Al exico and Peru. It was healthy and tranquil at Tam-
pico and Vera CrtA. Gen. Rodil was in possession of Callao
on the Ist April. The Peruvian squadron,
.consisting of one
frigate, two sloops of war, and A ,gun brig completely manned
and equipped, had sailed from Guayaquil to assist in the
blockade of Callao.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.

COnK, AUG. 11.—The Freedom of the City was yesterday
voted to the following distinguished personages, and ordered to
be presented. in silver boxes :—To Serjeant Lefroy (Baron
Pennefather is already a freeman), to Sir Walter Scott, Bart.,
to General Sir George Bingham, :and -to Admiral Plampin.
Tuesday, Sir Walter Scott and'his party arrived in this city,
from Mallow, where they visited the Spa, and other places
worthy of observation. On his arrival here he was received
with marked attention by crowds of spectators,. who surrounded
the hotel where he stopped. After the company partook of re-
freshment, they left town to view the Groves of Blarney, so
celebrated in song. On their return, a deputation from the
Corporation waited on Sir Walter, and paid their reSpects to
him. Mr. Quinn, the father of theAlunster Bar, at the deaire
of th at Body, requested the hondur of his company ko dinner.
The Hon. Baronet regretted that the 'necessity of Lang town
immediately deprived him of the honour he would b.njoy in
availing himself of the kind' invitation. After a short.titne Sir
Walter and his friends took their departure for Dubliia,

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]

The advices received yesterday from Naples
are highly interesting, as they shew, that a So-
vereign, in the best acceptation of the word, and
not a King Log, like the last, is now seated on
the Throne of that kingdom. They encourage
every hope, that he will not only sustain
the independence of his Crown, but govern
his people in the spirit of the age, provided
always, that he can obtain the sanction
of the Holy Alliance. At least, all the accounts
concur in stating, that he has an invincible
repugnance to be the mere Satrap of Austria,
and that he will seize every opportunity that
may present itself, in order to throw oft' the de-
pendence in which his kingdom is held by that
Power. Ile has just published two Decrees,
that will each work, in its way, to make the
nation co-operate with him in this undertak-
ing. By one, the Bishops, who have hereto-
fore neglected their pastoral functions for the
luxurious ease of the Metropolis, are order-
ed to repair, without delay, to their respec-
tive Sees. The order is peremptory ; and
its influence cannot fail to be most salutary. In
the midst of their flocks, they must try to regu-
late their conduct by the vigilance with which it
will be made the subject of observation ; and this
rigid propriety of deportment will serve to form
the manners and sentiments of those intrusted to
their charge. By the next Decree, a begin-
ning is made towards the reformation of the
army, which is the more necessary, as it has been
long composed of the worst troops of Europe ;
and we are not suprised at their utter want of
morale, when we reflect on the degradation that
accompanied their entrance into the service. As
soon as a recruit was drawn by lot, he was con-
veyed to his depot, manacled like a common ma-
lefactor ; and therefore it is not astonishing, that
the impression of the stigmatising iron has re-
mained on his mind. This degrading practice is
done away with ; and it is to be hoped, that the
other reforms will be conducted in a similar spi-
rit ; in which case, the Royal Author of them,
instead of lowly supplicating Austria to let him
enjoy the reality, as well as the name of Kingly
Power, will be able to exact it.

In Siberia, thirty bullocks may be obtained for 181. sterling :
the price of bread is 14d. for 401 b. ; meat, 2s. 6.1• for the same
quantity ; corn brandy as cheap as dirt.
