past with great success at Edinburgh, and concluded his en-
gagement with a benefit, which was most fully and fashionably
attended. The entire public Press of " modern Athens" are
unanimous in their approbation of his talents, which are spoken
of as approaching the excellence of his father's.
QUACKERY.—In these days of quackery and puf-
fing the following, anecdote may furnish some amusement :
" Dr. Rock and br. Franks were two famous quacks in Lon-
don about 1759 and 1760. Dr. Frank's handbill contained
this admonition Be not Rocked into eternity by that vain
and impudent pretender, Dumpling Dick, who still lives at the
gate of an inn where he was once porter.' Dr. ROck's bill
contained this sarcasm :—` If you would avoid destruction,
avoid the Old Bailey, for there lives an old soldier, discharged.
by the beat of drum, who has killed his thousands, but not in
battle; his pills are more fatal than were his bullets.' "
[These are the same quacks about whom Goldsmith wrote one
of his pleasant essays.]
The Grand Scignor, upon the demand of Lord
Ponsonby, has issued a firman, addressed to the Paella of
Egypt, commanding him to reduce the duties upon merchan-
dize to the same proportion it bears under the Turkish Go-
vernment. The interests of ,England required this measure,
which is calculated to relieve fo:eig.ll commerce in Syria and
Egypt from the obstacle laid upon ;!: in consequence of the
fiscal exactions of Mehemet Ali. It is f aid that the Pacha
has promised to remedy the grievances of tht: British residents
and merchants in every part of his dominions.
FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, MARCH 9.—According
to advices from Sarajevo of the 3d of March, an attempted
introduction of reforms has failed. All the districts have
rushed to arms and massacred the Sultan's troops. Such as
have succeeded in escaping have sought a refuge within the
citadel of Livio, where they defend themselves with energy.
The commander of the troops stationed in the vicinity has
effected a movement in order to succour the town; but the
numbers of the rebels have increased, and all communication
with the citadel is cut off. The intervention of the Roumeli
Valessi is expected ; but victory is not likely to be secured
without bloodshed. Prince Milosch will probably be compelled
to take an active part in this affair, in case the disturbances
should continue.—Swabian Mercury.
Francois, the accomplice of Lacehaire. and Avril,
stood in the pillory a day or two ago ; upon which ocosion be
is said to have made revelations respecting crime§ in which he
participated, and the parties to which have remained hitheito
unknown.

A poor woman, who was far gone in pregnancy,
was gored dreadfully by a cow at Cowbridge Fair on Tuesday
last. In the confusion that ensued, some heartless villain stole
the poor woman's basket with the few things she had in it for
sale I—Cambrian.
The Duke of Sutherland has purchased three of the
finest paintings in the gallery of Marshal Soult—namely, " The
Prodigal Sun," and " Abraham at the feet of the Angels," by
Murillo ; and " Don Carlos," by Velasquez.—Galignani.
A gentleman being out snipe-shooting on Friday
on the banks of the river Foss, in the suburbs of this city,
observed two fishes fighting in the water. He fired and killed
them both at the same shot, and on drawing them to the land
they proved to be two pikes, one of 51b. weight, and the other
31b.—York Courant.

BISHOPRIC OF Du PM AM.—This See was anciently
called the patrimony of St. Cuthbert, who had been Bishop
of Landisfarne, of Holy Island, near Berwick. His bones
being transferred to Durham were long esteemed a 3 precious
relics, and the people of the country considered themselves as
ilaliwerk men, exempted from all other but holy work, that is,
the defence of St. Cuthbert's body. Certain it is, they pre-
tended to hold their lands by this tenure, and refused to serve
out of the county either for the King or Bishop ; but King
Edward the First broke through these privileges and curtailed
the prerogatives of the Bishops, which were still further
abridged by Henry the Eighth. Nevertheless the Bishop is
still Earl of Sadberge, a place in this county, which he holds
by barony. He is Sheriff paramount, and appoints his own
deputy, who makes up his audit to him instead of accounting
to the Exchequer. He has all the forfeitures upon outlawries,
and he and his temporal Chancellor act as Justices of the
Peace for the county palatine, which comprehends Crahe, in
Yorkshire, Bedlington, Norham, and Holy Island, in Northum-
berland, the inhabitants of these places having the benefit of
the Courts at Durham. The Judges of Assize and all the
officers of the Court have still their ancient salaries front the
Bishops, and he constitutes the standing officers by his letters
patent. He has the power of presiding in person in any of the
Courts of Judicature. Even when judgment of blood is given,
this Prelate may sit in Court in his purple robes, though the
canons forbid any Clergyman to be present in Licht
as
"

hence the old saying " Solum Duntlmense stola jus dicet ense.
UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.—For SG2lle days
past, considerable curiosity prevailed in town, in conseVenee
of an announcement that-an unstampcd London periodical was
to be had for 2d., in a place on the North Bridge. The mode
of sale, though not uncommon, we believe, in London, was
altogether new in this part of the country. In a passage at
thb head of a stair, a hole was made in the wall, without any
other communication with the interior. The purchaser put
his money into this hole, and immediately a paper was passed
through. The novelty of this mode of evading the law at-
tracted a good many purchasers ; and a rather brisk sale was
carried on until about two o'clock p.m. yesterday, when the
parties thought proper to discontinue the traffic, &her from a
deficiency of the supply of papers, or which is at least equally
probable, because they found that the vigorous measures taken
by the authorities to detect the offenders were trenching too
closely upon their personal safety, to render it advisable for
them to continue the trade longer. We understand, however,
that notwithstanding every effort has been made by the proper
authorities, no cluehas: yet been found for the discovery and
apprehension of the offenders.—Edinburgh Courant.
