The reading of documents was continued. Va-
rious accounts were read to prove that Mr. Atwood
hail been guilty of misrepresentation, arid to show
in particular, that in his statement to the Comp oly
he had included stock on hand to the amount of
4001. in the profits of a quarter. A letter from
Philip Taylor was also r, ad, which stated that, b.
the writer's belief, Mr. Attwood's agent had made
false representations to the Company. The deposi-
tion of Benjamin Best, a man who had been in Mr.
Attwoud's employment, was next read. This do-
cument stated, that in October, 1825, Mr. Attwood
told Best that he must place the works in the be-t
possible condition, because Mr. Philip Taylor
(whom he represented to be a proprietor of some
Welsh iron-works), and Mr. James were coming
to view them. When Mr. Taylor and Mr. James
went over the works, Mr. Art wood accompanied
them. Best, by Mr. Art wood's desTe, drew out an
account of the cost of converting pig and rfined
iron into bar and rod iron. He gave this account to
Mr. Attwood, but kept a copy of it. The copy was
produced in Court, and being compared with the
account which Mr. Attwood had given to the Com-
pany, it appeared that in the latter the cost of the
manufacture was stated at 6s. per ton under the real
amount. The Learned Counsel then read the de-
position of John Talbot, foreman of the forges a
Corngreave works, from which it appeared that on
the 30th of October, 1825, Mr. Attwood was
at Corngreave, and expressed a desire to know
whether the " yields" could riot be done for less
than had been stated in the account made out li)
Best, to which the deponent replied in the negative.
The answers made by the witness Best to the va-
rious interrogatories put to him, were read at con-
side, able length. The following is the substance 01
his deposition :—The British Iron Campany hav-
ing become di•satisfied with the representations
made to them respecting the value of the iron works
which they had purchased from Mr. Attwood, sent
a deputation to Corngreave, for the purpose of ex-
amining Mr. Attwood's account-books. The depu-
tation arrived at Congreave on the 28th of Oc-
tober, 1825, and proceeded to view the works, and
afterwards returned to Mr. Attwood's house, a
Corngreave, where they were shown into th,
drawmg-room. During the time the deputation re-
mained in Mr. Attwood's house, James and Ed-
wards were occupied in a back room, in ‘N hiCh Mr.

Attwood was also present, in preparing several pa-
pers, one of which the deponent 'particularly recol-
lected purported to show the cost of the manufacture
of pig-iron at the Dudley-wood and Congreave
works. This paper was made out some time after
the arrival of the deputation at Mr. Attwood's
house, and the deponent was surprised at the extra-
ordinary low price at which the cost was put down.
The deponent further stated that Mr. Attwood was
present during the whole time when these papers
were being prepared, and he occasionally looki-d over
them, made a few remarks, and finally approved of
them. Deponent recollected observing that the

coal account was made out in a manner likely to
mislead the parties; but, after a conversation between
Messrs. Att wood, James, and Edwards, it was de-
termined that the account should remain unaltered,
Atwood and Edwards observing, that the manner in
which it was drawn up was the usual way of settling
such maters. The papers of accounts being approved
of by Mr. Attwood, were taken to the deputation
by Edwards, who presently came back and said,
" The deputation want to see some more recent ac-
counts than these; what are we to do ?" Mr. Att-
wood replied—" It will not do to take in our last ac-
counts; and, turning round to deponent, said," You
know how we are going on." Upon James observ-
ing, that the deputation insisted on seeing more re-
cent accounts, Mr. Attwood said—" I tell you how
we can manage : say I have a man ready to take the
works, according to the statement which has been
given in." James then went back to the deputa-
tion, and soon after came back rubbing his hands,
and saying " The -- old fools !" James fre-
quently in the course of the day called Mr. Attwood
out of the back room into the hall, and conversed
with him in so low a tone that deponent could not
hear what passed. While Mr. Attwood was out of
the room, deponent said to Edwards, "You have
got through your drilling ;" to which remark Ed-
wards replied, by observing, that "he had got
through the pigs,' and now his (the deponent's)
turn would come, and he would have a pretty dril-
ling." The defendant Attwood afterwards came
into the room with James, and said, with upparent:y
great pleasure, " They are satisfied ! " The Learned
Counsel was proceeding to enter into a new part of
the case, when he was interrupted by
The LORD CHIEF BARON, who suggested the
propriety of not commencing a new point of the
case at that period of the day (it was four o'clock.)
His Lordship also observed, that as it would not be
in his power to devote more than one other day to
the consideration of the case during Term, it would
perhaps, be more convenient to adjourn the further
hearing until the sittings in Gray's-inn-hall.
After a short conversation, Mr. KNIGHT ex-
pressed his concurrence in his Lordship's intimation;
and the cause consequently stands adjourned until
the commencement of the sittings in Gray's-inn.hall.

" I may fearlessly affirm," says the Duchess of
APRA NTES, in her entertaining Memoirs, " that of all the
individuals who have written about NAroLEOX, few are
so competent as myself to give a detailed account of him.
My mother, who was the friend of L2ETITIA BONA PA ATE,
was present at his birth. She rocked him in his cradle,
and was second mother to him wh, n he quitted Brienne
and came to Paris. Not only NAPOLEON, but hie brothers
and sisters also, formed part of our family. LUCIEN
found in my mother more than a common friend. When
he contracted that strange union with Mademoiselle Bovnt,
my mother received his wife as her own daughter. Of
our intimacy with Madame JosErit BONAPARTE and
Madame LECLERC I shall endeavour to form an accurate
idea. My husband's connection with BONAPARTE com-
menced with the siege of Toulon, and from that time they
continued united until JewoT's death."—We arc glad to

English and French, will very shortly make its appearance.

A Nobleman happening to dine at STIL•
LINGFLEET's, sat next to the Learned BENTLEY, and was
so much struck with his information and powers of argu-
ment, that he remarked to the Bishop after dinner, " My
Lord, that Chaplain of your's is certainly a Yery,extraor-
dinary man." " Yes," said STILLING7LEET, " bad he but
the gift of humility, he would be the most extraordinary

From the child's statement it appeared, that her
name was Elizabeth Turner. lived with her
father, who was a shoe-maker, te No. 32, Tower-
s reef, Waterlo---road. On Suriday evening., be-
tween the fal, s of vigil.; and nine o'cloel:, as she
was standing at her father's door, a ;all man passed,
he spoke to her in the kindest manlier, and give her
a penny to walk a little way with him, the child con-
sented, and the man gave her some swee meats. He
then took her to a dark place near some livvry.stables,.
close to the Surrey Theatre, when be pulled a cord out.
of his pocket, and began to fasten her arms and gs.
The poor child, terrified at the fellow's conduct,
screamed for help, when the hrute, finding that he
could not appease her,beat her with t he rope in the most
brutal manlier. Two females who happened to ba
passing near the spot fortunately beard the cries of
• •he child and went to the place, when the monster,
finding he was discovered, ran away. The women
immediately released the child and took her to the
station-house. Mr. Smith, the inspector on du•y,
strictly questioned the child, and having elicited
from her where her parents lived, sera one of the
constables to inform them where their child was, and
what had happened to her. Toe mother of the child
soon made her appearance, in a state of the greatest
agitation; she had been searching all over the neigh-
bourhood for her, but without success, and had al-
most despaired of ever finding her again.
On examining the child, her back was most se-
verely bruised by the beating the villain had given
her with the rope.
On being questioned by Mr. GREGORIE, the child
repeated her statement, and said the thought she
should know the man again, whom she described.
Mr. GREGORIE ordered a warrant to be issued for
the apprehension of the miscreant, and it was placed
in the hands of an active officer, who was directed
to nse every endeavour to bring the villain to justice.
The child, who appears very intelligent, was then
given up to her friends.

Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, in his excur-
sion from Bristol, passed through a town not 100 miles
from Newport, in Gloucestershire. When he stopped at
the inn, I,e accosted the landlord with " Terrible riots in
Bristol." " Yes," replied the worthy host, " they are
terrible indeed. I only wish that old Sir CHARLES
WETHERELL had been hung before he came there, and
that, when there, they had shoved him into the Float."
Sir CHARLES looked unutterable things, muttered pettishly
some unintelligible gil,berish, and concluded by ordering a
chaise and pair for the nest town. So effectually was
the Learned Knight disguised, that his own dornestics
could hardly recognise him when he arrived in Londor.
It is said, indeed, that Lsdy Wrrirrar.Lr. herself doubted
his identity ; nor is the circumstance to be wondered at ;
the fact is—he wore a pair of braces !—Monmouthshire

TWEED FISHERIES.—The fisheries of the
Tweed closed on the Ist inst. for angling, and net fishing
hiving become illegal on the 15th ult., the river and its
tributary streams are now shut for the season. The take
of fish at the mouth of the river is reported OR under the
usual rate; and above tide mark, the falling off has been
considerable, in comparison with last year. It must,
however, be admitted that thr continued floods of 1830
afforded more and better opportunities for the running of
fish than in Ih3l ; still there is too much reasen to be-
lieve that means have been successfully adopted to stop the
runs, particularly about Norliam, and it is asserted that
those wane were used openly and in defiance of the wa-
ter-bailiff.. This miy or miy not be true, hut the ge-
neral belief that it is true, will doubtless produce particular
inquiry. The h nificial operation of the new act wa. ad-
mirably exemplified last year. There was a full supply of
fish at the mouth of the river, whilst the whole upper
fisheries were abundantly supplied, and in consequence,
prices were so mod-rate as to bring salmon and grilses,
&c. within the reach of all classes, arid the fishermen
were amply renumerated. This year, owing to the
drought, the same success could not be expected ; but the
falling off is too great, and it is well known that on many
occasions favourable to the run of fish, few or none ap-
peared at and above Coldstream. During Octolier the
flood i
s were, generally, too high to admit of fishing in any
way ; but the waters were full of fine fish, and within the
last few days some salmon and grilses, particularly the
latter, were caught fully equal to those that appear in
July and August, at which time they are most esteemed
for condition and flivour.—Kelso
