To the Amateurs qf Pagaism.—A dreadful tal-
ing took place at Sutton-m-Ashfield, on Wednes-
day evening last between two noted characters,
Jemmy the Briclimaker and Tom Brag. Never
was more science displayed, and even L'rib himself
would have been highly gratified with the sight.
Bets were through the battle in favour of Jem-
my, although. Tom fought uncommonly well on
the guarding system. They had siktythree rounds,
and both left the field apparently senseless. It
said, but not credited, that they hatchet fig-hung
again next week, but it is generally thought nei•
therof them will be teady.

Sotne peasants, while working last month atthe
mouth of an open mine„ in the environs Of Chau-
mont, France, found a copper vase, which, upon
examination, was discovered to contain 27 gold
medals, 400 silver medals, and nearly the same
munber of copper. On the different pieces were
the beans of Dtimitiart, the Antonines, Marcus
Aurelius, Lucius Aurelius, Verus, and_of the two
Faustinas.

THE FEMALE I'IATER DRINKERS.'

In a foreign Journal are the two following re-
markable cases of female water drinkers :

Catherine Beausergent has been distinguish-
ed from the-most -tender age, by a thirst which
nothing. could quench. In ber infancy, sh-o drak
two. pailfuls of water every day. When her pa-
rents endeavoured to prevent her Arinking water
so abundantly, she procured it clandestinely : in
slimmer, from the river, from fountains,and at
-the houses of neighbours, even in the streetS ;•401(1
in winter, with pieces of ice or froursnowoviiieh
she Melted privately night and day. TheAttuidt
manner in which . her family treated her in-r.at:.-
count of this propensity, induced her at length to
quit her paternal mansioa. . She went to Paris,
mut entered into the service of smite persons mote
indulgent than her parents,' and who left her at
liberty to drink 'as much water as she 'chose. Her"
cotultict in; this service was aIWaYS irreproachable.
At 22 years of age, she was married to a man
named Ferry, a cordwainer, troin whom she con-
cealed :her ardent tbirSt; throm.flt. fear that be,
would not espouse her.. She had had nine child-
ren its 1789. During the months she was in 'a
family way", h.er thirSt increased : shit retiree con-
tantirto tillenCil• it with any other drink than
flesh wittgr, of,' which she drank three or four pints
at one tittle... the winter'of 1788 being then
'near her time .of delivery, she drank nearly two
pailfuls of Nyttter hours : water 01 that time

son,. six sous the pail. Her huband, whose
wages did .not permit hint to furnish the necessary

years, she had drank 9.5,000 pints of water !

FIRES.

. .
f 1 lie broke,out. late on. Saturday night, in the
extensive wine cellarage belonging to Mr. I ruts,
in Ilay's-tnews Hill-street, ilerkcley,sqinire,
which threw the inhabitants into, the utmost
consternation. The flumes were got under with-
out. extending to the range of st4bring. Great
damage wls sustained.. 'l he accident was occa-
sioned, by a quantity of straw catching fire.
Early on Ilionday morning, todreadful lire broke
out in New Church-street, in the neighbourhood
of Smithfield, -Dublin ; one house was entirely
consumed, and
.the adjoining houses. much da-
maged. Mrs, Camphell, who owned the, house
entirely consumed,
.fell a victim .to 'the : flames 5
she was , found dead, with her arms very much
lturn~ ii, and wimild have been burned to asbes,
brit for the immediate interference of a watchman
of the:name of Kane, who; broke open.thedoor,
and alarmed tire ,neigithourhood, We understand
that the cattle Of this:tnehincholy,conibigration,
was in consequence of the candle,. which was in.
•eanti,mtily lett lighted, having. caught the cur-
tains:of the bed; in which the tinfortnuate Airs.
Guntpbeil had been.' Every exertion to save the
furniture was' made, 'which nnfortnnitely proved
int:4(lllW. The High Sheriffs, togcthcv.with the
piequet of the 3tlitoyal-Lancusitire, attended un-
til the flames were got under.

As fuel is a very expensive article in housekeep-
ing, and with thepoor one of the principal ne-
cessaries of life,:. 4.orrespoudent recommends to
the inhabitants'orthe metropolis the practice in
Wales. in that part of Wales, where he was a
short time resident, the people took a certain,
gnantity of coals. (there called calm) and an equal
tpiantityot river mud, which they intermixed un-
til they were thoroughly ineorporattal, This mss
was afterwards fbrined into bulls, about twice the
size of a ben's egg and when dry were ready to.
be put into the fire grate. After laying a layer of
-.wood or turf, these balls were piled upon each
other, and tire put, tea them. In this state this
composition becomes highly inflam table, and
makes a strong durable fire, which throws out,
trlien the balls are real hot, a most intense heat.
By this practice the fuel is, not only doubled in
quantity,-but it will last twice as long as coui
alone. There is another advantage, that the
it re-
fuse coal dust answers best, as may be more
intimately intermixed and incorporated with the
mud.

11OUSE.Or COMMONS,

LORD motiPtTn's
Mr. limn Su mt9Ea could have wisl►ecl that• some

the attention of the House to'the notice th;it had
been.given on last Thursday (Lorif MORPETteS,
On the subject of the Speech delivered sit the close
of the last Session by Mr. SpEAKta.)---The dig
nity of the House, and the character of the dis-
tinguished pe►tison whose conduct it was the object
of that notice to bring under diseus'sion, required
that business of such moment should not be pro-
crastinated, but should be brought to a speedy
decision. Should no Member, there kite, of more;
weight and experience than himself take up.the
subject, it. was his intention, on Monday, to sub-
mit a motion to•the House respecting thatitotiee..
'The CHANCELLOR of the fixenntau:t►t rose -to
subunit a motion to the, House in which he'was
sure they would unanimously concur. He flirts
moved, that that part of the Prince Regent's
Speech respecting the supplies for the emitting

The motion %Vas agreed to. Part' of the Speech
was then read. It was tesolved to grunt his Ma-
jesty u Supply ; and this kcsolutiou was ordered
to be referred to a Committee of Supply ots

COURT OF KING'S BENCH', Nov. 6.

GOODALL V. FIETCDER.
After the' snal routine of business on the corn•
mencement of term, and the justifying; of bail,
was g me through,
Mr. SCARLET moved the Court iff a new trial,
in the cause of Goodall v. Fletcher.
_The grounds
of the motion were, that no one witness was pro-
duced on that trial who could, from their know-
ledge, give any reasonable account of the plaintiff
anti his wife living comfortably together, during
the last eight or nine years; that the Attorney
General, who conducted the plaintiff's cause on
that occasion, was pleased to state to the Jury,
with all that energy of langgage for which he was
so,remarkable, that the defendant's guilt was ag-
gravated from the circumstance of his being the
confidential attorney and adviser of •the
This however was not the fact; that the letters,
on which. the Attorney General had laid so lintel'
stress, were all written after the criminal intimacy
had taken place, and were consequently not writ-
ten for the purpose of sedm:tion.--..-The Learned
Counsel here explained the passages in the letters,
which had, from evident misrepresentation, been
made' to imply, that poison was contemplated.
Coutt-r.—She had eight children by her Itni-
hand, and DO doubt the Jury viewed those letters
as written.for the express purpose of creating an
undue impression in the mind of the plaintiff's
wife, and considered them an aggravation, of itis
refused.

to hi ci Imperial Majesty, from his Head-quarters,
Orany, De eembar 28, ~.Tart• 9).

Koningsberg, the ancient capital of Prussia,, is,
subjectlo your Imperial Majesty; This vast'city
was oermyied on the 25th December (6th January)
by the Count WITTGEZ4 STEI N's..adVanced guard,
under the orders of Major-General SCItEPgLEFF. •
Marshal MACDONALD occupied the town with a
r, corps d'arntee,,, composed of the old French"
Guards, and some troops who had escaped the
generld destruction of- the enemy's Grand Army.
The wreck of his particular corps, constituting
part of his total, was reduced to 2500 Men, after
the Prussians Separated from them; there remain-
ed to him in .all but obout 7000 men. At the ap-
proach of the advanced guard which. briskly pur-
sued, the enemy without halting, passed by Konigs-
berg and abandoned it to Major-Gen. StIRVELEFF,
who entered it without meeting any roistance.—
The astonishing facility in giving up the 'poses-
Sian of this , City is a con3equenee of the victo-
ries with which the arms of your Imperial Majesty
Yy
!lave been crowned during the last two months.
MAcoortat,p's corps is -pursued by WII`TGEN-
STEIN'S and Admiral TSCIIITCHAGOFF'S armies, by
diagonal routes.

bitUrCir-LAit eI'II2',ATREI

this theatre, on Saturday night, was' crowded
to an overflow, to -witness Potttninb/eatt and Ella
Rosenberg, f:lr the benefit of Mr. LovecittoNk.—
We do not remember an ttctor who has risen more
.rapidly, or established himself more firmly pis n fa-
NOurite on the London stage; than this Performer,
'hose reception on this, his first metropolitan
benefit, was of the most flattering description.
On entering he was received with the warmest and
most general plaudits, which mere roiterated for
several minutes, while .he made his grateful obei-
sances to the audience for these !narks of appro-
bation. His performance of TH/lihr.) and Storm
proved hoss well he merited the distinction with
which he was honoured.

The Opera and the Entertainment were played
with great-spirit, anti in the course of the evening.
the dramatic treat was much enhanced by some
of I;nAtiP.m's most popular songs—comic songs by
LovEGRov.E, and contributions of varied excel-
lence from Mrs._ DrcKoNs, Mrs. BLAND, Miss
KELLY, and Mr. Pnit.t.m.—Mr..PArtrty delight-
ed the audience by the Polacca On the single and
double Flageolet, anti Mr. WniveEwr by the ex-
quisite performanco on the Harp of the overture
to Oscar and Malvina. The whole was received.
with Most, unbounded applause ; and we have
rarely been present at tin evening's entertainment
more perfectly gratifying in all its parts:

KIN;G'S THEATRE.—After the Opera of Semira
made, in which CATALIN' exerted her great powers
to their fullest extent, and TicAMP:zz.‘xt displayed
no signs_ of his recent indipogition, a Spank!)
divertisement, called The Troubadour, was repre-
sented for the second time, and very well re-
ceived. It differs little, except in costume, from
the general cast of such productions. At the end
of the Opera, the celebrated ballet of Le Deser-
.tear, which had been revived for the btenetit of
Arts Tats, was repeated. We regret tq say, that
it was altogether very different froawhat it was
in the time of LEPICQ.

CFMISTIANITY.IN rsintA.

Upon the Order of the lJ►y being read for
taking into consideration the ltcsolutio►►• rel►itive
to India, communicated to their Lordships by the
Commons yeste►day,
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE 'moved that
the same be-referred to a Committee of the whole
House.

, The House having formed itself into a Com-
mittee, and the Clerk having read the Reso-
lution,
The Earl of BUCKINGIIAMSUIRE said, he should'
not detain their Lordships by saying much on the
subject of this resolution. It was well known that
all countries except, this had access to lndbt foi- the,
purpose of diffusing instruction and religious prin-
ciples among the inhabitants. Ile:-dial not fore-
see the danger of any probable mischief whiCh was
likely to result.from the adoption of, the present
.resolution) for if the former part of it contained.
any thing of a mischievous or dangerous descrip-
tion, it was perfectly guarded against by the latter
part,- which provided the terms upon which such
a religious propagation should be instituted, and
especially provided, thar the Hindoes should en-
joy, unmolested, therights of their own religion.
Ile thought, indeed, the resolution extremely fa-
vourable to the natives, for this was the first time
Parliament had made any declaration on the sub•
jeet,-and they were now pledging themselves to
take the iiindoo religion under their protection.
It wotildbe.reeollected, that before this period no
law existed with respect to the religion of the na-
tiVeg, and the Company had. only from their own
discretion been induced not to interfere, but on
the side of protecting them against the molesta-
tion of others. Provided those who undertook to
communicate religious instruction did it with pro-
priety, and subject to the restriction of the latter
part of the resolution, he did not see any, reason
to be apprehensive on the occasion, and he trust-
ed,.therefore, under all the circumstances, that
their Lordships
.would give it their. approbation.
The Resolution was then agreed to by the
Committee and afterwards reported to the House,
when it was ordered that their Lordships assent
to, this Resolution be communicated to the Com-
mous.

LITERARY.

The Benort of the Committee of the Commons
on Acts relating. to Copyright of books, has been
printed. It recommends, that 'the substance of
the existing. laws should be retained, and in par-,
ticular that cotitinning the delivery of all new
works, aua in certain cases of subsequent editions
to the Libraries, now entitled to receive them ;
but that sonic 'of the existing pro Visions should be
modified ass to 'the paper, which may be reduced
from the largest size, and tinest.sort, to that used
in the Ammer part of the edition ; substituting, a
delivery on notice, instead of at distribution in dui
,first instance ; and giving an alternat;ve with re- •
spect to sitbseqiuxit' editions in certain eases.--
These rules not to extend to thellritish Museum,
which ought to be furnished with every publica-
tion that issuers from the press, in its most.splen-
did form. The obligations to be enforced by
suitable penalties, and perhaps, in sonie*iiases, by
adding the forfeiture, of Copyright. With regard
to the statute ofQueen Anne, the Report suggests
whether all retrospective etket should not be
taken away, and concludes with stating, that " the
Committee have taken into their consideration
the subject of Copyright, which extends at Ind-
:sent to fourteen years certain, and then to a second
period of equal duration, provided the author
happens to survive the first.
.They arc inclined
to think, that no adequate reason (zri be:giveit
. for this contingent reversion, and that a tixed_
term should be assigned beyond the existing pe;
riod of 14 years." -

It may not he too late to4cstrain the effects of

our Indian subjects to whete.it ought to he appli-
ed—to the improvement ,of 'such tau) articles of
produce as are consumable in this conittry, and of-
which we are deficient the most essential of
these are hemp, cotton,--and rice, the import of
which, in British built ships, would add much to
the source of our naval poWer.

self, us to give'to her foreign dependencies thegreut

We arc still in the same uncertainty respecting
.the
reported declaration. of Austria against France.—.•
It is rumoured that she had demanded of France
the restoration pf the Tyrol, the port of Tiieste,
awl a :portion of the formcr. territories of Austria
io Italy, anti that 'BUONTAPARTE haring returned
an evasive answer, the Cabinet of Vicuna itmne-
diately,determined on making con-puon cause with
Russia.

How far this statement is to be relied upon we
are unable to say, neither can we undertake to
verify any part of the report regarding the tnani-
festation of the disposition of At,stria. We hare
stated the evidence on which it rests, and the pro-
bability wh►ch attaches to it, and must wait for
further intelligence in order to ascertain the cor-
rect state of the fact.

Amongst our further extracts from the Gotten-
burgh Mail, n ill be found an Edict of the King of
PRUSSIA, abrogating the. Continental System (as
it is called) in the Prussian dominions. It was,
of course, a natural cbasetpiekt ol'his deliverance
from they tyranny of France, to relieve 'his op-
pressed subjects from that system of robbery and
plunder which has been nicknamed the Conti-
nental System.'
Nothing further has transpired relative to Den-
Mark ; it is rumoured that the negociation carried
on here by a person in behalf of iienmark, had
taken an unfavourable turn, and intelligence of
that circumstance having reaped. Denmark, is sup-
posed to have caused the.act of hostility Manifest-
ed in firing uportour convoy ; bnt supposing what
is thu‘ stated to be thelact (of which, however,
we. know nothing), it would not justify the Da-
nish
Government in committing so violent an out-
rage, without dae notice.

Snice writing 'the above we learn, that it was
strongly reported in•the city this day, that a Pro-,
elaination rrotn the Archduke CHARLES was in
town, announcing the junction of Austria with
the other Powers, in the war against _France.

STOPEORIi arrived in town yesterday

being blockaded by the lnsurgeuts. On the Ist
of November, Morays entered Orisava with 7000
men : 20H) of the garrison were killed, as many
made prisoners. The General, gave quarter to the
conquered, and treated the Officers with distinc-
tion. Not a house was pillaged, nor one per-
sonal insult offered, and good Order and respect
of property were secured by proclamation. He
ordered the tobacco in the public stores to ybe
burnt, on account (if the royal monopoly ; it was
valued at ten million dollars, being tbc crop of
