AMERICAN PRovoroxs.—The line of packet ship
Quebec, arrived in the Loidon Docks from New York, has
brought 189 bags of meal, 667 sacks and 4,210 bushels of
barley, 6553 bags of peas, 810 barrels of flour, 1,4.51 bags of
cats, 464 tierces of beef, 4.202 bags of wheat, 767 bags of
corn, 50 boxes of soda crrcker biscuits, and a variety of
other articles, the production of the United States of
.Ame-
rica. These liners formerly brought no grain as a portion of
their cargoes, although the numerous vessels trading between
the United States and the port of Liverpool have for some
time, as is well known, brought large quantities of the
article—the same being confined principally to manufactured
and prepared provisions of various kinds, such as cheese,
salted beef, pork, &c., and
general merchandise; whereas,
now, it will be seen, as is.. indeed, invariably the case with
respect to these packets, it forms the greater proportion of
the whole. This fact is remarkable, and it is doubtless in a
great measure owing to the admission of every description of
corn free of duty. The vessel John Holland, arrived in the
same docks from New Orleans, has brought 2,200 barrels
lard, 92 tierces and 567 barrels of pork, 500 barrels of
flour, 214 tierces of beef, 246 casks and a quantity in bulk
Of oilcake ; and the Industrious, from Charleston, 16,500
bushels of paddy, or rice in the husk, the production of the
United States.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—" SPRING-HEELED JACK."
—Teigninouth was greatly excited on Monday, in consequence
of a "Spring-heeled Jack" investigation before the magis-
trates. A delinquent of this genus occupied himself during
the winter in frightening and annoying defenceless women,
some of whom were rather roughly handled. The police
having been on the alert for some time, suspicion fell on a
Captain Finch, of Shaldon—a man of alleged ill-health, and
apparently sixty years of age, about the last person that
could have been suspected. He was summoned before the
magistrates. Mr. Tucker, in opening the case for the coin-
plainant, said it was not only difficult but most painful to
Lim ; his client belonged to the humblest rank, mai the de-
f,nditnt, Captain Finch, .had been considered highly respect-
Li hie. Should he not succeed in establishing the charge, the
ctfect of the girl's evidence might prejudice her through life;
should he succeed, the tnoral.character of one who had
hitherto moved as a gentleman. would be blasted. He had
wo charges of assault to prefer. Ilis client, the servant of
Miss Morgan, a lady living in Macfarlen's-row, Bitton-road,
had been twice assaulted in January, between nine and ten
.at night, by a man disguised in a skin coat having the ap-
pearance of a bullock's hide, skull cap, horns, and mask, anti
:he alarm bad produced serious fits. Evidence having been
given in support of the charges, the Bench expressed pain at
boding an old soldier guilty of such an assault, but there
was no material refutation to complainant's evidence. He
was fined 17s. for each assault. Defendant thanked the
ni igistrate for their impartiality. The case lasted from one
to half-past seven in the evening.
