morning, about three o'clock, with nearly sixty passengers, two
carriages, and inerchandize. The same vessel sailed again this
morning from Brighton Chain Pier, for. Dieppe, with fo:tv
passengers, a few of whom embarked at this port. On the sth
instant a smuggler made en attempt to bribe one of the men be.;

Whitstable, under the command of Lieutenant John Wise,

The man on duty consented to take the bribe, but communi-
cated the same -to his commanding Officer, who arranged his
force accordingly, and on the attempt being made to land the
goods, consisting of six casks of spirits, were seized. and the
party made prisoners. Bribery now seems to be the only chance
of escaping capture. -Smuggling on this coast is nearly annihi-
lated. The new road from Brighthelmstone to this town is
nearly.ficished, and, when opened, it will bet from one of the
worst, nearly one of the best and pleasantest rides in this part
of the country.

Ei) rt itt) It6ll, 'STILY 20.—A seizure of tobacco,
attended with the most extraordinary circumstances, was made
by the Officers of the Customs, of St. John's, on Wednesday
last.—The owner of a raft of fine large timber, ou his way to
Qtteeec, for sale, appeared at the Custom-house, in order to
'get the raft examined, and the necessary documents for trans-
porting it made out. Unfortunately for him, the gentlemen of
the Custom-house, in consequence of some previous inauspici-
ous information, were not altogether ignorant of the existence
of the raft, and of the intentions of the deviser with regard to
it. Accnrdingly; when it waa examined with greater minute.
ness indeed than is common its such cases, and than the trem-
bling owner could have wished, each of'the iaege log of which
it was composed was found to contain a certain number of cani-
sters of the finest Spanish plug and ceder tobacco, placed there
no doubt by the aid of an ingenious pump-borer, and shut up
at each end of the logs in a Manner that must have Inevitably
eluded discovery had not some person employed in the business
of concealment given information. The number of canisters
seized amounted to 219, each containing about 10 pounds
weight; so, that had the speculation prospered, the profits
must have been very great.

erection is tindertaVen to be completed by October next.

TREATMENT OP ENVENOMED WOUNDS.--It is
well known that the volatile alkalies are the most efficacious
remedies for the venomous bite of the viper and the stings of
several insects which transfuse venom into the flesh of
those whom they assail. But however potent this specific
may be, when administered in time, it has bean .fre-
quently found to fail in its effect, owing to some
cause hitherto undiscovered. The following case, published
by the 'Agricultural Society of the department FAriege
(France), and inserted in its Journal, clears up the mystery,
and furuishes us with the information it was so important fur
us to have. A shepherd of the neighbourhood of Foix, bitten
in the leg by a viper, suffered the most acute pain notwith-
standing that had sought relief from several popolar re_.
medies—such as binding up the wounded part, enveloping'
it in fresh earth, &c., called in sixteen hours after the bite,
was given. M. 'Quod. a medical practitioner at Foix, ordered
volatile alkali, in a liquid form, to be frequently repeated, and
the dose to be increased each time. Far front obtaining any
success, however, he was beginning to despair of his patient, when
it occurred to him to try the effect of dry friction upon the almost
lifeless parts. The skilful practitioner was much surprised to find
the rubbing excite the pungent odour of the alkalies. He con-
cluded that these liquors had not acted, because, in place
of remaining in the interior of the. body, they almost wholly
escape 1 by the pores of the skin ; and he immediately caused
some olive oil to be brought, with which he oiled' all the
members of the • patient. No- :hotelier had this liniment
been applikl,- -than ttte bad symptoms began to disap-
pear, and the cure was an rapid that, two days after, the
shepherd was able to return to his occupations. In Egypt Dr.
Larreo had already employed oil in treating wounds from the
bite of venomous animals of that part of Africa ; not, however,
through the of friction, but as a drink, and mixed with
the volatile alkalies. This method elniost always succeeded
with hint.—( French Paper. )
DARING ATTEMPT AT ITORSE-STEALING.—On
Sunday evening (17th inst.) an extremely bold attempt was
mad t to steal a valuable horse from Mr. Job Loutdey, West
llag'sourn Farm. About ten o'clock, just as his carters were
getting-into bed, their candle not being put out, they fortu-
nately heard the footsteps of a horse stumbling against the
.grqundsel of the stable-door; and on looking out at the cham-
ber window, they observed a fellow gently leading a horse across
the dung, in order that his footsteps might not be heard. They
immediately called to bins to inquire where he was going with
the horse ; he made no answer, but set off a trot up the orchard.
The servant immediately gave
.the alarm, and a speedy pur-
suit commenced. The fellow appeared to have intended to
have jumped the ditch widt the horse 'out of the orchard into
the field, and thus eo, have evaded the turnpike-gate, as well
as the observation of the people of the street, many of whom
were actually passing and repassing at the time, and within
sight .of the stable-door. As it was rather dark, the horse
would net jump the ditch, although, by the footsteps, he was
twice or thrice led there for that purpose; and so daring aid
• determined was the fellow to have the horse, that he did not
relinquish his hold until his pursuers were within 20 yards of
biro, when he rep away with great rapidity, anil jumping
across a ditch through a brake of bushes, finally effected his
escape. Ile afterwards tried to steal another~ horse from' Mr.
Allen's, at the same place, but was there ale° disappointed.
He was a short man, and had on a white smock frock, but it
was too dark to discern his features : from his actions, it is
conjectured he was no stranger to the premises.—(Rea4ing
Mercury.)
Tilt. work done by .stearn-engines in England
is calculated to be commensurate to.the labour of
two millions of men.

LONDON.
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1825.

The French Papers of Saturday contain some
news from Spain, which will be found extracted
below. These extracts, we grieve to say, do not
afford us the slightest hopes of a return to a bet-
ter system of Government iu that unhappy
country ; on the contrary, a blind devotion to
the cause of despotism seems to prevail with un-
dimished force. We had hoped the time was at
hand when, driven by distress, FERDI NANO would
*have opened 'his eyes, and made an effort to save
himself from ruin, and his people from anarchy
and confusion, the inseparable companions of a
disorganized Government. A very large portion
of the French naval force is said to have quitted
Cadiz, leaving only three French vessels cruising
before that port. Thirty-one .Columbian priva-
teers have been reckoned between Cadiz and
Barcelona.

MADRID, JULY 14.--(By Erpre.s.r. )—His Majesty set out
to-day for his residence at La Grange. The whole Royal
Family accompanies his Majesty. Messrs. Zea and Calomarde
are in the suite. It was thought for a short time that the former
was going to quit the Ministry, the King not having transacted
business with him on the day when, according to the order of
public business, M. Zea should have gone to the Cabinet.
Nevertheless, •people persist in thinking his removal very pro•
bable ; the Royalists found their hopes on this subject on the
journey of M. Calomarde. It is affirmed, that the military
purifications are going to be abolished, and that they will be
reduced to mere classifications. Those who made themselves
the most remarkable during the Constitutional Government,
will, it is said, be deprived of their commissions. As for the
others, the Government will choose among them those whom it
shall think fit to employ. Thus an end would be put to the
distinctions of officers with unlimited coves, officers included
in the capitulation, &c. All those officers would form one
class, and would receive half-pay.
CADIZ, JULY s.—Yesterday in the afternoon the following
vessels of the French station unexpectedly set sail in apparently
great haste—the frigates Amazon and Amphitrite, the sloop
Ralserode, and the brig Salmon. We have heard frequent
mention of the departure of one of these vessels, but the secret
so profotte.dly kept of the departure of them all has very much
arrested public attention. As soon as these vessels got out to
sea, they sailed to the straits, and not one of them Is to be seen
this morning.
There are only three French veasels at present cruizing be.
fore Cadiz.

Thirty.one Colombian corsairs have been this morning reck-
oned on the coast, between Cadiz and Barcelona.

The expected arrival of General Airneric is every day an-
nounced here; and yet letters just received from ieville make
no mention of his having arrivid even there. Some of them
assert he will not come at all to Cadiz.

Harnburgh and Italian Papers have arrived
this morning. The latter bring further accounts
of the progress of the Emperor and Empress of
AU,TRIA through their Italian States, and the de-
monstrations of joy that every where attend their
presence. At Brescia, on the Gth instant, the &t.
tention of the EMPEROR was, particularly attract-
ed by the exhibition of the articles of the manu-
facture of the country and of works of art. On
the 7th, their M ESTIES, It it h the Attennuat S

A all

lon paragraph in our Paper of yesterday
announced the prospect of a dividend in the
bankruptcy of Messrs. MAnsu & Co., the pay-
ment of which would be.delayed until the deci-
sion of the Directors of the Bank of England, as
to -the propriety of further prosecuting their
.
claims, was known. Tfiese claims arise out of
the forgeries committed by one of the partners of
Elie bankrupts, upon different persons having
money in the public funds, of which the Bank of
England has the sole and exclusive management.
Under these circumstances we should .wish to
know by what process of reasoning the Bank of
England can arrive at the conclusion that they
are entitled to come in with the rest of the cre-
ditors of the bankrupts. There were no dealings
between the parties, and nothing pon which a
centract between them could even beu implied, and
therefore this attempt on the part of the Directors
'to raise a claim upon the estates of the bank-
"Pts, and thereby to retard the final settlement
'l3f their affairs, appears to us entirely un-
-I,lfkrranted and unprecedented. The legal ad-
visers of the Directors must be aware that every
Principle of law and equity is opposed to them,
and that, an
.the ground of moral justice, they
ttave no claim to be reimbursed one shilling of
the money which their own neglect, and
tarelessness, has caused them to lose. As ma-
'begets 0 the public debt they receive an annual
ItiPaud for their trouble, and standing in the
eyes of the law as bailers for reward, are thus
reudered liable for any loss of the property
placed in their hands, not occasioned by the act

dropped

submitted to a loss which can be attri-
