THE VILLAGE OF DON QUIXOTE.—fIe
who may hereafter visit La Mancha, in the intention of
travelling in the footsteps of Don Quixote, may probably
say with me, it is a thousand pities that CERVANTES has
not told us the name of the village in a certain corner
of La Mancha," where " there lately lived one of those
country gentlemen who adorn their balls with a rusty
lance and a worm-eaten target, and ride forth on a skele-
ton of a horse to course with a starved greyhound."
CERVANTES has not, however, left us altogether in the
dark as to the corner of La Mancha in which this gentle.
man lived. El Toboso, the village of his dulcinea, lay in
its neighbourhood; and in the coulee of one day's ride
from his own house, the knight met the merchants on the
road from Toledo to Murcia, and the Biscayan and the
lady on the road to Seville ; and the same day that he
quitted home he entered the windmills in the neighbour-
hood of Puerto Lapiche. The locality of Don Quixote's
village is therefore sufficiently pointed out ; and the vil-
lages in this part of La Mancha are not so thickly sown,
but that, with these helps, we may even hit upon the
Frecise spot that CERVANTES had in his eye when he tells us
that " one morning before sunrise, unseen by any body,
in the scorching month of July, he buckled on his armour,
mouated Rozinante, braced his target, seized his lance,
and through the bask door of his yard sallied into the
field." This village could be no other than Miguel Este-
-van, situated a league and a half or two leagues from El
•Toboso, within a day's ride of Puerto Lapiche, and hall

MARYLEB ONE.

Eliza Hicks, a married woman, about 30 years of
age, was charged with attempting to destroy herself
the preceding evening.
A respectable-looking woman, who gave her name
Mary Daniels, stated that on her return from Kent-
ish-town, about seven o'clock on Tuesday evening,
when she got as far as the Elephant and Castle, in
the Pancras-road, she saw the prisoner, who ap-
peared in a state bordering on insanity, endeavour-
ing to throw herself over some palings which fence
a deep marshy ditch by the road-side. In this at-
tempt she was prevented by a young man, who was
afterwards stated to be her brother, and who dragged
her into the field, where, after beating her severely,
he left her. The unfortunate creature then used
every endeavour to beat her brains out, seeking every
precipitous spot she could, and throwing herself
down head-foremost, until at length some humane
persons seized fur, and brought her into the public-
house.

Mr. RAWLINSON asked her why slte acted in this
manner ? to which she replied that she had been
parted from her husband for several years, and sup-
ported herself by servitude. She had been for some
time out of place, and, being obliged to subsist upon
her friends, they at length grew tired of her, and,
an altercation having taken place, she tried to de-
stroy herself. She added that her father lived in
\Vilstead-street, and that, if she were set at liberty,
she would return to him, as she was confident he
would receive her.

Mrs. Daniels said that the prisoner expressed her
dcterrn;nation to destroy herself, even utter she was
in custody.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mrs. Daniels if she consi-
dered the prisoner to be sober at the time ?
Mrs. Daniels considered her to be perfectly sober.

Mr. RAWLINSON did not think it prudent, after so
determined an attempt at self-destruction, to suffer
her, on her own assurance, to go at large, and ac-
cordingly ordered her to be taken to the workhouse
of St. Pancras.

HATT ON- GARDEN.

Yesterday Wiliiam Cole and Thomas Ireland,
alias Harper, young me❑ of respectable appearance,
were brought before Mr. ROGERS and Mr. Serjeant
SELLON, charged on suspicion of having been con-
cerned in illicit distillation.

The Magistrates convicted the prisoner Ireland,
alias Harpur, in the mitigated penalty of 301., and,
in default of payment, committed him to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House
of Correction, and discharged the other prisoner, as
he was not found on the premises.

COLCIIESTER ELECTION—OVEDNEsDAY.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)
At four o'clock today, Mr. Smytbies, the Town Clerk,
appeared on the hustings, and said that it was not the in-
tentio❑ of Sir Wm. Curtis's Committee to offer any more
votes on that gentleman's behalf. The Mayor then or-
dered
proclamation for closing the election in half an
hour. Before that period arrived, however, a coach-load
of London burgesses, in the interest of Mr. Mayhew, came
to the hustings, and though strongly urged by that gen-
tleman's agents not to vote, and assured that all their ex-
penses would be paid, they positively insisted on their
right to exercise the franchise, particularly as it might
be the last opportunity they would have of doing so.—
The Mayor not being at liberty to refuse the votes, even
with the candidate's consent, the Court was adjourned till
the usual hour to-morrow, when the election will finally
close. The following were the numbers on the
Sixth Day's Poll :
Mr. Mayhew 599

THE FUNDS.

With the exception of the express from Paris this
morning, we have no arrivals of the least importance ; and
by the above arrival it appears that the French Ministry
still maintain a pacific tone in their speeches, and will do
all in their power to prevent a war. This may be the case,
but until the answer of Austria has been received we can-
not count on it as certain ; nevertheless, it has caused a
material improvement in our Funds this morning.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 78ii for the Ac-
count, opened at 78i '79, and went up to 79i -I, at which
price they are at present.
According to the Dutch Minister's statement of the si-
tuation between that country and Belgiutn, it appears of a
very warlike description, and we should not be surprised
to hear soon of hostilities between the two parties.
In the Foreign Funds little or nothing doing.

COURT CIRCULAR.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of KENT and the
Princess VICTORIA, attended by Lady CATHERINE JEN-
EINSON, Baroness LEUZEN, and Sir JOHN CONROY, left
the residence of Prince LEOPOLD at Claremont yesterday,
for Baited Park, to pass some days with the Earl of Li
vattroot. and the Ladies JENKINSON.
Despatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial.
office for the Hon. General PoNsoNBY, the Lieutenant-
Governor of Malta, and Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord
High Commissioner of the lonian Islands.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER :trrived in town

The SPEAKER of the House of Commons entertained a
select party at dinner on Tuesday evening, at his residence
in New Palace-yard.

day, at the Treasury.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Elephant '
and Castle, Pancras, on the body of a female infant, which
was found on Sunday morning last in Georgiana-street,
Gordon-square, New-road. The body was in an advanced
"rage of decomposition when found; but the medical gen-
tlemen were of opinion that it had been born alive. A
verdict of—" Murdered by some person unknown," was
returned.
CHAS. GASKING, residing in Charles-street,
Hampstead-road, while playing at the game of four-corner:
on Tuesday evening,with some other boys in Frederick-street,
Regent's Park, adjoining Messrs. MACE'S coach-factory,
one of the boys accidentally threw the ball they were
Playing with inside the palings erected round the premises
of Messrs. MACE, and though repeatedly cautioned against
entering the same on account of a fierce dog kept by Mr.
MACE to protect his property, be declared he cared neither
for the dog or his master. However, he had no sooner
reached the basement, than the dog, who was some dis-
tance off, saw, and immediately rushed upon him, followed
by four of her young ones, and so mangled him, that his
life is not yet considered safe. One of Mr. MACE'S men
seeing the situation of the boy gave the alarm to young Mr.
MACE, who had the care of the dogs, and had it not
been for his timely interference, there is no doubt
he would have been torn to pieces. Mr. ELKINS, surgeon,
of Osnahurg-street, promptly rendered every assistance to
the poor boy, who passed a tolerably good night. A large
concourse of persons assembled around the premises, and
to
please the whims of some foolish persons of that num-
ber, Mr. MACE ordered the dog to be killed for doing his
duty as we judge. We understand from our informant
who was eye-witness to part of the transaction, that the
dog was bred by Mr. MACE, from an extraordinary large
Newfoundland dog presented to him by a Captain who
brought it home from Newfoundland, and which dog Mr.
MACE was under the necessity of having destroyed about
a twelvemonth since, for flying at and seriously injuring
himself. The dog was considered by amateurs to be worth
twenty pounds.

THAMES POLICE.

Yesterday, John Whanzell, a tall ruffianly fellow,
in the employ of Mr. Fernee, greengrocer and
carrier, Shadwell High-street, was charged with
wanton cruelty to his master's horse, and assaulting
and severely beating Capt. Charles Gaytor, master
of a collier, and several other persons who interfered.
From the evidence of Captain Gaytor, whose face
bore the marks of severe punishment, it appeared
that on the previous afternoon he was passing down
Cannon-street-road, in company with a gentleman
named Brown, when he observed the prisoner cruelly
beating a horse both on the fore and hind legs, be-
cause he was unable to extricate a van, heavily
laden, from a low part of the road. He requested
the prisoner to put his shoulder to the wheel, and
offered to assist, but the driver refused, and the poor
animal being unable to move the load, he flogged it
in a most barbarous manlier under the flank until the
horse fell on its knees from weakness. Witness again
remonstrated with him, but to no purpose; he was
assailed with a volley of the lowest abuse, and the
defendant seized him by the collar, shook him vio-
lently, and then knocked him down. On recovering
his legs he saw the defendant beating the horse on
the head with the butt end of the whip, until the
fellow was nearly exhausted with his own exertions.
He again remonstrated with him, when the prisoner
exclaimed '` What the is it to you ?" and felled
him to the ground by a heavy blow in the face.
Mr. Robert Brown, a merchant, confirmed his
friend's statement, and said that he never saw a
horse more inhumanly beaten. The load was suffi-
cient for two dray-horses. Witness was grossly abused
and struck by the prisoner.
Several other witnesses said that the prisoner
" chopped" the horse on its head with the butt end
of the whip.
Robert Edwards, a policeman, No. 43, K., said
there was a great disturbance on the spot, owing to
the indignation of the persons assembled at the wan-
ton cruelty of the prisoner, whom he saw beating
the horse when he came up, and found Captain
Gaytor bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth.
The prisoner, in defence, said that the horse was
a little one, and he was remarkably fond of it, but it
wanted coaxing and heating to make it draw.
The Magistrates animadverted in strong terms on
the shocking brutality of the defendant, and said
the interference of Captain Gaytor was highly pta'se-
worthy. They convicted the defendant in the highest
penalty of 51., or, in default of payment, two
months' imprisonment.
London, England, 1831-04-07

to do with it." On that occasion he told the de-
ceased, in the presence of the women in attendance,
that her next child would kill her; but that, if she
came to him, when she was about two or three
months gone in. her pregnancy, he would make her
miscarry; but it was " hangable" if it was known ;
the deceased asked if it would hurt her, and pri-
soner replied that it would not ; he said he hail
sometimes 10s. 61. for doing it, and some-
times ii, according to the circumstances of the par-
ties; in the early part of October last, the deceased,
being then pregnant, went to the prisoner'shouse,and
had an interview with him, for which she paid him
Gs.; but what actually took place on that occasion
did not appear, but, in the course of a day or two
afterwards, she exhibited all the usual appearances
of a woman who had recently miscarried, and, in
point of fact, was delivered of a foetus of about
three months' gestation ; the prisoner continued to
attend her, and sent her physic; she daily grew
worse, and languished until the 29th of October,
when she died ; the deceased, when in articuto
mortis, two days before she died, on.the occasion of
the prisoner-going away, after paying her a visit,
shook her.head, and said, " Oh T. that's the rascal
that-has killed me." After the deceased was buried
the- thing became bruited about; an inquiry was in-
stituted, and the body disinterred, examined by a
surgeon, and a Coroner's inquest held upon it, the
result of which was a verdict of Manslaughter
against the prisoner, who immediately absconded.
An application on his part to the Court of King's
Bench to be admitted to bail before the Magistrates
below having been refused, he kept out of the way
until the first day of the Assizes, when he sur-
rendered.to take his trial.
Mr. Joseph Belliott, of Stockport, the surgeon
who made the post mortem examination of the body,
described the appearances, to be such as would at-
tend a recent miscarriage, but it was impossible for
him to say what was the cause of death.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here abandoned the
case, and the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

THE REVENUE.

(FROSI A CORRESPONDENT.)
It is in some respects unfortunate that the lateness
of the hour at which the accounts of the quarter's
revenue are made up, precludes the possibility of
accompanying them with the explanations so abso-
lutely necessary to make them generally intelligible.
However favourable has been the first impression
produced by the statement of the April accounts,
more accurate examination not only tends to
strengthen and confirm it, but to prove that, under
a rational system of finance and a good Government,
the powers of production and of consumption in this
country are augmenting most rapidly, and that we
may fully rely on the increase, as well as on the sta-
bility, of all our great national resources.
The revenue, under the two great heads of re-
ceipt, of Excise and Customs, presents the follow-
ing results :
Customs, increase on quarter £194,861
Excise, decrease on quarter 826,163
To rectify this account for the purposes of making
a fair comparison with the corresponding quarter of
1830, it is necessary to add to the Customs, the ac-
count of the coal duties remitted, since the Ist of
March. These duties amount in London to 63,0001.,
and in the outports to 30,0001., which sums would
have given an increase to the quarter of 1831 over
that of 1830, in no less a sum than 287,8841.
The Excise receipts for April, 1830, amounted to
3,188,0001.
But of this must be deducted for taxes since repealed

TV ORSHIP- STREE T.

A young man, who gave his name - Newport,
yesterday entered the office to request the Magis-
trate's assistance. The applicant stated that his fa-
ther, who was eighty-three years of age, and resided
with him at No 1, Saxon Cottage, Mare-street,
Hackney, had left home on Saturday last, at twelve
o'clock in the day, for the purpose of taking, as they
considered, his usual walk, but had never since re-
turned. He was well-dressed, rather tall, stout
made, and had on at the time a blue coat, light
waistcoat, and black breeches. Applicant said he
strongly suspected that his father had been way-
laid and robbed, or detained by some persons for the
purpose of obtaining a reward.
Mr. BENETT, the sitting Magistrate, ordered the
officers to render the applicant all their assistance to
find the old gentleman.

This constitutes a fair comparison between the re- I
venue of the two years, and one more satisfactory in I
all respects cannot be stated.
Let the Government but persevere in a steady
course of economy and of financial improvement,
and let them be supported by the intelligence and
virtue of a reformed House of Commons, and it may
be doubted whether the great advances already made
in our national wealth, industry, and trade, may not
in future years be far exceeded by a new develope-
ment of prosperity. But to achieve these objects
there must not be such miserable trickery practised
as was witnessed in the debate on the timber duties.
We must not any longer see men opposing their
own measures, not to defeat a Budget, but to check
the progress of Reform. Those gentlemen who
have condemned the people of England to pay high
prices for a bad article,--those partisans of the dry
rot, both in our houses and in our Constitution—
must be for ever excluded from power, before a full
measure of relief can be afforded to our people, and
a due security to the liberties of England.—Times.

The fate of Sir JOHN HAWKINS'S " History

obscurity and oblivion. Some wag wrote the following

After dinner " God save the King" was sung in good
style by the gentlemen of the choir of Kew church, ac-
companied by the military band.
A variety of village sports were then started, the success-
ful competitors in which were rewarded with prizes:
the spectators were very numerous, and the scene, owing
to the interest excited, very enlivening. In the evening
the tradesmen of the Royal Duke illuminated their
houses, and there was a very grand display of fire-works
under the direction of Mr. WINTERBOURNE.

PRIMED AND PUBLI3III'.D BY MURDO YOUNG, A Tus
SVN OFFICk,, IUJ, Slil.4Nl), LANDON,
London, England, 1831-06-10

follows—My Lord, I wilt just say a few words, end
can
ean answer for the zeal with which the gentlemen
from these districts did their duty in London. I
attended those meetings in London, and I say it to
the credit of Mr. Peel, that when I stated the ne-
cessity of some exertion on the part of the Govern-
ment, he said that if the distress were so great as it
was represented, he was sure there was no gentle-
man in that house who would not indemnify the
Government. 1 found no person more disposed to
second the exertions of those gentlemen than Mr.
Peel. A little knowledge of the state of Ireland,
:And a little exertion, are all that are required to re-
lieve effectually even greater distress than is at pre-
sent complained of. I think when we recollect that
want is not general, and that in some parts of Ire-
lend food was never so cheap, we should the sooner
put a stop to this. I observed the prices of provi•
sions within the last month, and I scarcely ever re-
member to have seen them so cheap.—(Hear.)
Flour of the third quality is selling for six shillings
per cwt. In 1822 Mr. Hume and other gentlemen
stood forward to alleviate distress which was not
confined to a district, bat which spread over the
whole country. There remains a sum of 15,000/.,
the residue of the collection made in 1822. I see
one of the secretaries opposite me and I ask him
does he think that the Committee could expend
5,000/. better than by giving it to help the wants
and relieve the distresses of the starving people of
that part of Leland ? lam one of the Committee,
and for my part I think that it is a sin to have it
lying in a bank and the people starving. I say that
there are 15,000/. in bank which ought not to be
there one day if there be famine in the land. ~
Mr. J. D. LATOVCIIE hoped that a resolution to
' that effect would be moved.

Mr. FENTON HORT thought the opinion of sonic
lawyer ought to be had with regard to those funds;
it was difficult to say who had the legal disposal of it.
Mr. LEADER said there ought to be a resolution
drawn up, founded upon what he (Mr. Leader) had
said, and which had not been answered.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL could say, that the
persons who granted the trust could now revoke it,
and the disposal of it lay with the subscribers. If
they saw the people dying of hunger in the streets
of Dublin, where was the man that would not almost
give his last shilling to relieve them ; and was it be-
cause that distress was a few miles away that it
should not be heeded ? There was another consi-
deration which ought to influence them. If he had
heard rightly, pestilence was following in its wake,
and if once that reached the capital, what would be
the consequence ? The only way to prevent it was
to step forward immediately. Ile was of opinion
that a steam-boat loaded with potatoes, meal, &c.,
should be sent to the people immediately.
After some further d;scussion, the resolutions
were passed, and the meeting separated.
