THREE BODIES WASHED ASHORE AT FORMBY.
—On Friday morning the bodies of three men were cast ashore
at Formby.—Liverpool Standard.
The peaceable and prosperous state of Scotland for
the last half century has often been contrasted with the disor-
ganized condition of the same country at an earlier period ;
and the difference which is seen evidently to exist betwixt the
fierce and intractable Scots of a former age and the orderly
inhabitants of the north in the present day, has often been at-
tributed exclusively to one or two leading causes. But while
the efficacy of the national institutions must be acknowledged
to as great art extent as their warmest admirers could wish, it
is but reasonable to suppose that a multitude of other influences
have been at work, and have co-operated in the production of
that ameliorated. national character which is now attributed to
the Scotch. Without entering minutely upon the more promi-
nent causes which have promoted the advancement of the
country, it maybe affirmed that the general indulgence shown
to the wishes of the people has produced the most beneficial
effects ; and although that indulgence has often been occa-
sioned as much at least by fear, as by policy, the continued
peace of the country affords the heft proof of itsexpedieney,—
Berwick Advertiser.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT FINCIILEY.-About ten
o'clock on Monday night an express reached several of the
London fire stations with intelligence that a serious fire had
suddenly broken out in the pig market at Finehley, and was
raging with great fury, causing extreme alarm, as the inhabi-
tants had only two small parish engines with which to oppose its
spread. Five large engines and thirty of the establishment
men were instantly sent off, and arrived time enodmii to afford
essential aid. It appears the fire commenced in the slaughter-
ing premises of Mr. John Laman, and spread thence to a car-
penter's snop and buildings occupied by Mr. Laman's nephew,
and afterwards to the George Inn, in the occupation of Mr.
W. Schofield, where the firemen stopped its progress. "The
slaughterhouse, stabling:-, and carpenter's shop arc destroyed,
but the stock was principally saved by an early removal. The
George Inn is greatly damaged, and the outbuildings, with a
large stock of hay and straw, are for the most part destroyed.
Nearly the entire of the destroyed property was insured in the
Norwich Union. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained.

SA LINE STORM.--A correspondent who resides
near this city, and who is in the habit of attending to meteo,
rological phlmomena, informs that the violent storm from the
S. W., Which occurred on the 23d ult., contained such a mix-
ture of sea water that the outside of the windows having a
westerly exposure, was covered with s7line matter when the
glass became dry in the afternoon of that day. • The distance
from the sea must be at least one hundred miles in a direct
line. This is no unusual thing ;it is always observed when
storms of unusual violence come from the Atlantic Ocean.
Mr. Dalton has often remarked it at Manchester, and it is
evidently caused by the small particles of the spray breaking
on the surface of the waves and the rocks on the shore, being
driven forward by the fury of the wind like dust of the roads.
It is supposed to be beneficial to agriculture, particularly to
pasturage.— Worcester Herald.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY PREVENTED BY A DOG.-
\Vednesday evening, as William Climo, a carrier, was return-
pig from Devonport with a van, between the Western Taphouse
and Rcspryn, on the common, be suddenly heard footsteps fol-
lowing him quickly, and before' he was aware of any danger,
was levelled to the ground by two heavy blows, and in that
situation severely beaten for-some minutes. Climo bad a large
mastiff dog with him, which seized one of the ruffians and
threw him on the ground, when the other decamped. The van
being loaded with valuable articles, as soon as he cleared him-
self from his assailant, Climo proceeded home with the van,
taking the dog from the man on the ground. Ills clothes
were nearly torn from his back, and his pockets turned
inside out.

The hundred thousandth part of a grain-of gold may
be seen by the naked eye ; and is a cube of gold whose side is
but the hundredth part of an inch, has 2,433 millions of visible
parts. A cylinder of silver, covered with gold leaf, may be
drawn out 350 miles long, and yet the gold will cover it. Gold
leaf eau be reduced to the three hundred thousandth part of
an inch, and gilding to the millionth. Silver leaf can be re -
duced to the hundred and seventy thousandth. The specific
gravities are 193 to 105.. Lace gilding is the millionth of an
inch thick ; gold leaf the two hundred thousandth. Platina
w►re may be the fifty thousandth of. an inch : 500 inches of
gold wire has been drawn from a grain, Tin-foil-is the one •
thousandth of an inch ; that is, 200 gold leaves are only equal
in thickness to one of tin-fuil. One grain of gold ►will cover
74- inches each way, or 52 square inches, or he 1,500 times
thinner than writing paper ; that is, a sheet of writing paper
would be 1,500 leaves. A cubic inch of mercury, at 62 deg.
301b5., weighs 3425.35 grains.—Paris Advertiser.
FIRE ON BOARD THE NEW YORK PACKET

111"RmA.---On Saturday evening . the American packet
lli-
hernia, lying in the Clarence Dock, which had that morning
arrived from New York, was discovered to be on fire. The
cargo consisted of a large quantity of turpentine, some cotton,
and some miscellaneous goods. The fire was found to have
been confined to a very limited space immediately under the
forecastle, and from what we have been able to learn, could
only have recently originated, surmises sayspontaneously, from
the cotton having been packed in a damp and heated state at
New York• The vessel, not having been twenty-four heurs in
port, the loss will fall upon the tuaderwriters.— Liverpool
Standard.

On Monday morning a gay yowlt fox-hunter, son
of a captain in the army, eloped with the only daughter of a
gallant colonel from near Chesterfield. Their flight was
discovered by a farm-servant, who, on going in the morning to
work, observed something white dangling from a bed-room
window. This was a pair of sheets, kniAted tog-ether, one
end secured to the iron stanchion of the window. The man
made known the circumstance to the family, when it was dis-
covered that the young lady was absent without leave. The
party started at about two in the morning in a gig, and pro-
ceeped at the rate of 16 miles an hour to Sheffield, whence
they dashed along in a chaise at a slashing rate for Gretna,
where the blacksmith speedily -.,,etted dim in the bonds of
hymen.

IN RE KINSEY, A LUNATIC.
• Mr. SHADWELL applied in this case for an order to con-
firm the Master's report. The lunatic was entitled to a
sum of 1,4001. stock ; but the income being very small, it
was rroposed that a Government annuity shoeld be pur-
chased in order to increase the comforts of the lunatic
througli the means of a larger income. A reference was
taken to the Master on this point ; but a relative of the
lunatic had since agreed to pay the difference required out
of his own funds, and the Master accordingly reported
that it would be most desirable to accede to this arrange-
ment.

The LORD CHANCELLOR saw no objection to the i;:atter
being made a subject of reference back to the Master, ii
being a point for further consideration what sum was to be
allowed when the accounts were wound tin hereafter.

ROLLS' COURT.-WEDNESDAY.

COOKE V. HUTCHIN:,ON.

This was a bill filed against the executors of a person of
the name of William Cooke, jun., to have set aside a cer-
tain receipt on the ground of surprise. In 1817, William
Cooke, sen., being at that period eighty years of age, exe-
cuted a settlement by which he conveyed to his son, W.
Cooke, his farm, his farming stock, and various mortgage
'securities and several bonds, in the whole of the value of
2,000/., in trust for his (the settler's) own use during his
life, and for the payment of his just debts and funeral ex-
penses. This sum he likewise charged with the payment
of the sum of 5001. to his daughter, 20/. per annum to his
wife, and a like amount to his niece. On the basis of this
settlement en arrangement was made, by which the son
was to hold possession of and manage the farm, he at the
same time supporting his father, mother, sister, and niece.
In November, 1832, Mr. Cooke, jun. died, and his exe-
cutors, the defendants to the present suit, subsequently de-
manded an account from the father of his transactions with
his son. The latt4r being then in extreme old age was
induced to accept a sovereign, and sign a receipt declaring,
that the payment of the sovereign settled all accounts be-
tween him and the estate of his deceased son. It was al-
leged on behalf of the plaintiff that the father, at the time
this receipt was given, was utterly ignorant of it effects,
and that as soon as he was made aware of its nature, he
demanded from the executors the receipt, at the same time
tendering
,the sovereign. This, it was contended, acted as
an absolute repudiation of the acknowledgment.
The MASTER of the ROLLS should look through the as-
signment and the other papers mentioned in the proceed-
ings before he gave his judgment, on Friday next.
