COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS

DURING THE LAST WEER.

LIVEr4POOL CORN EXCHANGE,

The supply of every, kind of Grain but Oats is still unpre-
cedentedly moderate, and the export of good Old Irish Wheat
to the North of Ireland greatly exceed the import of New
from every part of the country. Since this day week there
has been a gradual improvement in every article in the trade ;
but the demand subsided at this day's market, aad the rise
we have to notice was barely supported. Wheat is 6d., Bar-
ley and Malt each 3d., and Oats 2d. to 3d. per bushel earer ;
Beans 4s. to ss. per quarter ; Flour 3s. to 45., and Oatmeal 2s.
per pack. The holders of Bonded Grain do not feel dis-
posed to part with it on the terms at present offered by spe-
culators.

Doncaster February Fair, which has not been held in the.
recollection of any one, was renewed this year, and attended by
a great number of dealers and jobbers, and the prices obtaine,'
were of a description to infer that agricultural produee is Mal!.
to receive better encouragement, though, as yet, nothing like
remuneration. The Cattle market exhibited a very fair show/.
but had there been double the number, they would have been
disposed of, at a considerable rise upon the sales of last A,";

sales were effected for good fresh hogs at 325. • tat aver.:;{'`;

FO liLK ES V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.

The plaintiff,who holds the advowson of a perpe-
tual curacy in the diocese of the Bishop of Exeter,
had sold the next presentation to a gentleman of
the name of Travers, which transaction reaching
the ears of the Bishop, he prosecuted him for
this act in the Ecclesiactical Court, where judg-
ment was obtained against him. It was against
this judgment that he now appealed.

The .COURT confirmed the sentence of the
lower Court.

John Holohant, for the murder of Denis Mahon, at Donovan's
Cove, in the west of this county, were executed at Gallows-
green, pursuant to their sentence.—The wretched man, nolo-
hane, whose arms it would seem were not sufficiently se.cured,
disengaged them in part from the cords with which they were
bound, and, in his convulsive efforts, after being turned off,
sucoeeded in catching the rope, with both bands, by which he
was suspended, anti in that situation he remained for a con-
siderable time, to the great distress of all present, until death
terminated his sufferings. He was about 2G years of age, and
one of the Hannans was about the same age ; the Other W 5
about thirty-five.—(Cork Chronicle, Aug. 27.)

THE GREAT MATCH.
The Pigeon Shooting season closed amongst the Crack Clubs
yesterday morning, on the Fearns on Bagshot Heath, between
nine members each of the Ashton, New Ilats, and Midgham
Clubs, by subscription of 10 sovereigns each, the best to divide
the 2701. It was a real sporting day, and three to one was the
betting against raining the winning Club. Some fine blue rock
pigeons were procured for the sport, at 21 yards from the trap,
charge unlimited, at seven birds each. It was decided as

In shooting off the ties, at three birth 4telach, the Ashton men
killed twenty-six, and won the match, the New Hats killing
twenty-rive. Heavy stakes were pending on the match, and
Messrs. Hawthorne, Nash, and Mettle were matched by their
respective Clubs who shall kill the most head of game In !lamp.

larly partridge, most of the eggs having been destroyed.
London, England, 1824-08-31

thus met with in their walks. Legislators saw the
frequency of the crime, together with the magni-
tude of the temptation, and provided a special
remedy to meet the occasion. The matter was
brought before the House of Commons, and it
was eloquently argued, that few men were se
high in station—so strong in integrity—so forti-
fied with honour and honesty, as to be able to re-
sist the temptation presented in the bunches
of pewter pots thus found lying about the
streets. The collective wisdom acted with
its accustomed prudence in this emergency.
It did not legislate that pot-boys should carry
their pots down the areas with them, which would
have been a measure very oppressive to the pot-
boys (and which would have brought the omni-
potence of Parliament into a doubtful struggle
with the laziness of those urchins), nor did it en.'
act that persons should be hung without benefit
of clergy, for making free with those vessels,
because, on the showing of an eloquent Member,
the best men in the country were not proof against
the pewtery temptation ; but it struck at once at
the root of the evil, and legislated that publicans
should send out no more liquor in these too irre-
sistible pots—thus, at a stroke, depriving Britons
of their beer, a whole people of the cherished
right of drinking their porter out of a pewter
vessel. The taste of the nation, in this particular,
however, proved too strong for the Legislature.
Parliament, in its plenitude of power and wisdom,
might have declared a pewter pot equal in value
to a silver tankard, as easily us it pronounced a
pound note and a shilling equivalent to a guinea ;
but it could not impose on a people, critical in
their liquor, that porter in earthen ware had so
delicious a twang as porter in pewter pots—
the act was therefore despised, the very infor-
mers were not sufficiently hardened to enforce a
measure so odious to the blhacious community,
and the statute slumbered with the dead. Our
object in giving the history of this curious piece
of legislation is to shew, that according to all the
Jaws of analogy, Parliament, supposing that it
interfere, Is bound to meet the offence of cheque-
finding, and cheque-stealing on a similar principle.
We can imagine a Member to get up next Session,
and to state that cheques lie about the streets of the
city to such a degree, that a man may pick up half
a plum in his morning's walk. In conformity
with the precedent before us, it will not then be
enacted, that merchants shall put their checks
more carefully into their 'pockets, nor that per-
sons shall he hung, drawn, and quartered, for
stealing such cheques ; but it must be enacted,
that merchants, for the future, shall not write
cheques under heavy pains and penalties.l his
is the way to cure an inconvenience according to
the Law and the Prophets.

THE THE.kTILES.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.---Mr. Bit.t.u.tm took
for his Benefit, last night, the attractive Romance
of Der Freischutz, and of course was attended by
a very numerous audience. We have already
noticed the musical excellence of this eminent per-
former and of Miss STEPHEN in this Piece, and it
is therefore only necessary to state, that they ex-
erted their powerful talents with equal effect on
this occasion. The chief novelty last night was
the appearance of Mr. Buar.t. in the part of
Caspar. Mr. BEaEt. is a nephew of VON WEBER,
the Composer of the music in this extraordinary
Opera, and performed the same character up-
wards of an hundred times in Germany, when
the Piece originally appeared. As Mr. Bmit:l,
Las been only three months in this country, it is"
strange that he should' have acquired so much
knowledge of our language. In fact, as the chief
scene is of a supernatural description, in that
scene his foreign accent gives to it ad.
ditiooul effect. lie was most zealously re-
ceived by the audience on his entrance,
and he snug the drinking song at the table with
so much effect that he was encored.—The only
change in the piece besides was in the part of
the Prince, which, on account of the illness of
Mr. BAK Ett, was assigned to Mr. PERK 1 Ns, who a
year or two ago appeared to considerable advan-
ta‘7e at the Theatre in Tottenham-street, and
wl'io possesses talents that deserve encourage-
ment. The Opera was followed by a musical
lle/aqe entitled The Feast of Apollo, in which
the powers of BmAnAm, Miss STEPHENs, whose
beautiful simplicity in Nid-nid Noddin, was uni-
versally encored, PEAUMAN, BROADIWIttiT, SEO-
- and others, afforded much pleasure and
excited much applause.

ROYAL COBURG TUCATRE.—The new piece
that was brought forward last night is entitled
George the Third, the Father of his People. The
Piece is calculated to display our late venerable
Sovereign rather in his rustic pursuits than in his
Political character. In the course of the plot his
Present Majesty and other members of the Royal
,Were introduced, as well as characters re-
Ilt"elitiog the late Lord EKINEs Fox, Sit E.
u &c.
tuAa,tts lt was a bold attempt hi the au-
thor of this Piece
to supply conversation supposed
to issue from such
personages, but it would be
fastidious indeed to enter into a formal examen
",' Pieces intended for light summer amusement.
`Jibe afterplece is called The Blind Beggar qr
Bellow! Green. A numerous audience seemed
to
be gratified with both pieces, and therefore
the public critics may well submit to the public
decision.

SURREY SESSIONS-(Tim DAY.)

Thomas Van, aged 33 yeah, stood indicted for
a horrible assault, on the 20th instant, in Lock's
Fields, on John Memory. The facts of the case
being clearly made out, the Jury, without hesi-
tation, found him Guiky. - •
The Chairman (Mr. 11EnGrit), addressing th,l!

been at that bar for an offence of a similar nature,
therefore sentenced- the prisoner to 18 calendar

rection, and kept to hard labour.

Charles Wall was indicted for stealing a wing-
tity of oysters, with the tubs, &c., from the ;lop
window of a poor man, George Adams, in Lam-
beth. The prisoner, it appeared, sold the arti-
cles on the following day, which were identifiol.
by the prosecutor's wife. The Jury found him
Guilty, and he was sentenced to hard labour in
Guildford Mouse of Correction for one month.

YOUTHFUL DEP lIAVIT Y.—R Ober/ Martini, rt
mere boy, was put to the bar, charged with shir-
ring (cutting) a pane of glass at the shop of Mr.
Harris, or No. '2'22, Strand, yesterday evening,
about half-past eight o'clock. '1 he shopman,
however, heard the noise occasioned by the fall-
ing glass, and ran out to the front, w! ere h
'found the prisoner. NO4hittz was found on
and he was ordered to be remanded, f. r the plr
pose of making inquiry as to his poi suits awl

UNI. IWfULLY PAWNING.—A young wornarf,
who gave her name Ann Amber, and a hose ap-
pearance bespoke her to suffer from extrem-,
poverty, was put to the bar, charged with un-
lawfully offering to pledge a sheet, supposed
have been stolen, at the shop of Nlr. Magnoed,
in Drury-lane. Cousins, the Officer, describe
her to have made a most desperate 4 resistance,
and to have endeavoured several times to escape.
On being put to the bar, she refused to give her
residence, and was remanded. The sheet is
marked with the. words " .1. Ambery—stop it."

CAUTION TO Pu ULM ‘Ns.—The land lord of the
Horse and Groom, iu Bedfordbury, appeared to
answer the complaint of the parochial constables
for keeping Isis house open andallowingpersonsto
remain therein after the hour allowed on the nitilst
of Saturday se'unight. The case being satisfactori y
made out agssittst biro, the Sitting 11 agistratt, con-
victed the defendant in the penalty of 5!. and
costs.—Another publican in. the same neighbour.
hood was called upon to ans ver a similar coin..
plaint made by the St. Martin's parish patrol, for
having his house open after the hour of twelve
o'clock. Thu landlord, however, positively de-
clared that he refused serving his best customers
at that time, nor did he admit any one but the
Officers. In this case. the conviction was not
pressed, and the defendant was discharged upon
payment of costs.

" declaration of GI:ORGE' H6EY, parish clerk of 'Ter.
monfechin, in the county of Louth, and of )tier, 3.laoutat
and PATurcit TAAFFEi of the said parish, farmers, states that
ou Wednesday last, the 18th instant, as they were on the sea-
shore, on the lands • f :WEAL; WS farm, in the said parish, about
half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, the tide being nearly
in, they saw a Mermaid (as they believe from having. seen it
described in books), of the full human size, swimming in the
sea and directing its course towards the river lloyne—that it
was only about fifteen perches from them, and that they and
several other persons saw it quite plain, and that they could not
be mistaken—that its body was remarkably white,
i with long
arms, wlsich it frequently used to drive away the sea-gulls
which were hovering over it—that its hair was very dark, and
that its tail, which it frequently spewed when plunging, was
of a dark colour, and shaped like the tail of a fish. The body
of the animal, which from the waist upwards was completely
of the human form and size, was generally about three feet
above the water. They state that they saw it fur more than a
quarter of an hour, and when they were leaving the place, it
was still above the surface of the water.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, Nov. 12.
TN BE SIR GREGORY, PAGE TURNER, A LUNATIC.
Mr. Pnll.r.istonx applied, on behalf of the Committee,
for permission to defend an action at law on behalf of .the
lunatic, who is sued by one Abbot on a bill of exchange, drawn
by one Tomkinson. ~The Found of their- defence was « no
consideration."
The LORD CDANCr.LLOR was sorry that he could not secure
the Committee indemnity for the costs, which would make his
permission of very little value. He had no dOubt of the pro-
priety of the defence proposed ; but there had been leave given
to traverse the Inquisition of lunacy. The verdict of another
Jury might take the whole case out of thekirisdiction, althOuh
no steps. had yet been taken towards a traverse. If there should
be proceedings, arid if the JUry shoifkl, find the petitioner to be
of sound mind, it, would not be in his Lordship's power to in-
demnify the Committee fel: expences of the nature of this action.
Ile was reminded by this of the necessity which there appeared
to him to he of an early..application.to the lsegislature for some
provisional enactment .for. the safe administration of the estate
of a lunatic, and for giyiug sufficient security and indemnity to
the acts of the Committee when placed in this ambiguous and
uncertain situation.
. The rest of the morning, till. one o'clock, was taken up with
proceedings in bankruptcy, of no pikhlic interest, and at that
hour the Court rose. , •

During Mr. A. C. Marsh's absence, several of the creditors,
among whom was the Mail-man, took an opportunity of ex-
pressing the high opinion they had of Mr. A. C. Marsh's ch.i .
meter and integrity.
The first proposition brought. before the Meeting was the
period of time that should be allowed Mr. A. C. Marsh to en-
deavour to collect the debts of the firm. The letter of license,
according to Mr. Seymour's hints, appeared to be universally
adopted, and it was at length resolved that the said letter
should extend in the first instance for twelve months • the ere.
ditors retaining the power of subsequently prolonging die period,
if necessary.
It was then resolved that a receiver should be appointed on,
the part of the creditors, and on the part of Mr. A. C. Marsh ;
Mr. Marsh, of course, to appoint his own receiver, and the cre-
ditors theirs, and in case of any difficulty a committee of the
creditors was agreed to be appointed, who might conveniently
be called together to decide on such points..
In reference to the accounts of the debts and credit of the
house, as initerted above, the solicitor Who attended on the part
of Mr. Middleton stated, that be had just remarked to Mr.
A. C. Marsh, that it would have been more satisfactory to the.
Meeting if the items as well as the gross amount had bent
stated. In reply Mr. Marsh observed, that though to any one
individual, such as receiver or a manager, he should have no
objection to explain the whole of the debts, yet it would bt:
invidioui to lay a list of the debtors and the securities they
had put in before such a numerous body of creditors; he had,.
therefore, not brought that list with him. Mr. Marsh, how-
ever, had' been good enough to state generally that the largest
debt included in the 63,0001. was nearly 7,0001.; that there
were about a score between 1,0001. and 3,0004 ; and that the
average sum of the debts was 3001, The whole of the debt.
were secured in one way or another; some of course less com-
plete than others; but many of them were of such a nature that
the pressing fur immediate payment would be attended by total
loss.

On its being proposed that Ur. A. C. Marsh should himself
be appointed receiver, it was alleged that this would open the
road to many difficulties, and that if any chance Mr. Marsh
should become a bankrupt, the whole of the sums would be
seised upon under the commission.
A Gentleman, whose name was understood to he Denmark,
said that he had every reason to believe. that the large
,debt of ,
7,0001. which had been mentioned, was amply secured, and
that in general the debts were pretty safely distributed,
After a few more remarks from some of the other 'erediton,
the Meeting separated. • •

Samuel James Tuzmuiend came up to receive

sham plea to defend an action at In w. The Court
said, the case had been proved against the insol.
vent, and sentenced him, under the 18th section,
to four months' confinement within the walls of

DOE AND WILCOCK-V. GOMERSALT. AND OTDEIIS.
Mr. MAUD stated the case. It way an action in ejectment,
to recover the possession of three cottages and fifteen' acres of
land, situate in the parish of Halifax.
Mr. BLACKBURN, for the defendant, said the plea was lease,
entry, and ouster.
Mr. MAUD called

Simpson Baynes—lie was a clerk to Mr. Wilcox in his life
time; be had no other tenant than the defendant. Mrs. Wilcox
wanted poSSnsion of the cottages and land. Witness has seen
the defendant pay the rent, and has received two half year's
himself. lie once put in a distress, but afterwards received the
rent. He since served him with a notice to quit, which was
signed by 11Ir:i. Wilcox. He demanded possession on the 2d of
February. The defendant said he. would be paid for valuation,
or he would•not deliver up possession. The defendant still con.
tinned in ppssession.
Mr. BLACKBURN cross-examined the defendant—Always
paid at Midsummer and Martinmas.
By the notice it did not appear when the rent was due, and
the demise in law could not therefore be fixed.

His Loutmll IP addressed the Jury, and said that the notice
did not inform the tenant when the time for quitting expired;
two half-years had been paid, and the notice was either too late
or too soon.--Plaintiff' non-suited.

Mr. sergeant Caoss it in tile Crand Jury Room, and took
undefended causes.
The Judge, owing to Counsel being engaged in three Courts,
was kept waiting 'tor upwards of an hour; nor was there 'a
bailiff to attend his Lordship, which called forth a severe re-
buke from him, and he desired that they might be immediately
called over, and fined for non-attendance to their duty.

along Its edge, we arrived at th6Se Islands on the morning of
the 27th, all welt. We have nothing of Interest to communi.
ca!e from these islands, since our whaler's visit them yearly ; it
is, however, a miserable settlement, and 1 mistake much if. the
Dunes don't wish themselves well clear`of it. On our passage
we threw 'overheard (agreeable to old custom) a copper cylin-
der, containinga paper with our situation on it, and a notice in
different
languages to those who might pick them up to forward
them to the Admiralty ; therefore, I dare say, you will hear of
us at home occasionally in that way, but the ice will soon cut
off' that sort of communication. We sail with the fullest hopes
of success (to.morrow), of which, if it take place, you shall
be duly informed."

on the authority of a private letter from one of the officers to a

TIIE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, Aug. 9.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Paris Journals to Friday evening arrived
last night. Their contents are as unimportant as
usual. The Five per Cents. closed on Thursday
at 100 f. 50c. for money, and 100 f. 70c. for Ac.
cUunt. The continuance of M. de Villele in
office and the rise of the French Funds have
created an expectation in the City that another
attempt will be made to carry the reduction of
the Five per Cents. If this project be again
brought forward, it will probably be so modified
as to be less offensive to the small holders of
Rentes. But whatever measure may ultimately
Ike adopted, nothing can be done until the next
!Session of the Chambers.

[URITISU PRESS.]
Frrldifort Papers to the 2d instant were re-
ceived at our office last night. The only matters
of interest they contain are some speculations re-
tpecting the Greek contest. The union of parties
I;rriong the Greeks seems to be placed be) and
