soner took him by the collar, and a long struggle
ensued, which ended in the deceased getting throwt,
on the floor. On his rising, the deceased stripped
to his skin and challenged the prisoner to fight,whet.
several of the persons left the room and went int('
the yard, amongst whom were the two principal
actors and deceased's father. They had several round-
in the yard, and the fight was in all respects wha'
is termed a fair one. At length, after one of the
rounds, the deceased got up, and observing to the•
prisoner, " You are too much of a man for me—
I'll have no more," he fell into the arms of a by-
stander, and was carried from the scene of action it,
a state of insensibility. A surgeon was sent for,
but the man had died before he appeared, which he-
did in half an hour from the time of the injury being
received.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and the-
Learned Judge, observing that he had already been
imprisoned four months, sentenced him to pay a
fine of Is.

MIDLAND CIRCUI 1.-117.1110-xer, Au o. 7.

LORD V. CLARK.

This was an issue directed by the Court ofExchequer
to try whether certain property, seized by the She-
riff of Northamptonshire, under an execution at the
suit of the defendant against the plaintiff, was the
property of the latter in his own right, or in his
character of executor of his late father.
The testator had beer: an extensive farmer and
grazier in Northamptonshire; but some time be-
fore he had become embarrassed in his circumstances.
For the last two or three years of his life he had
been bedridden, and consequently the management
of his property had devolved principally upon the
plaintiff, whom the testator left his sole executor and
residuary legatee. The plaintiff had also property of
his own, and had incurred debts; and the defendant,
who was one of his creditors, issued an execution
against him, under which the goods in question,
consisting of farming stock, &c., were seized. The
creditors of the testator insisted that these goods
were the plaintiff's property merely in his character
of testator, and that consequently they were not
liable for the plaintiff's private debts. To try that
question, they obtained the present issue. After
an investigation, which lasted a considerable time,
the Jury, being satisfied that most of the goods
seized were the property of the testator, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff.

CHEST ER.
BURGESS V. SYLVESTER AND WALKER.

This was an action brought by Mr. John Burgess,
solicitor, of Nantwich, against Messrs. Sylvester
and Walker, solicitors, of London, to recover a sum
of 2,370/. from the defendants (or rather from Mr.
Walker alone) under the following circumstances :
On the 14th of March last, Mr. Burgess re-
mitted, in Bank-post blls, the sum in question, to
Messrs. Sylvester and Walker, to be by them paid
into the Court of Chancery on or before the Ist of
April (under an order of Coup), on behalf of Mr.
John Cline, a client of Mr. Burgess. The post-
bills were specially endorsed by Mr. Burgess
in these words :—" Pay to the order of the Ac-
countant-General of the Court of Chancery. John
Burgess." The defendant (Elias Joseph Sylves-
ter) wrote back to Mr. B. to say that the Bank of
England would not take the post-bills on account
of the special endorsement, upon which Mr. Bur-
gess wrote in reply, on the 26th of March, desiring
Mr. Sylvester to strike out the special endorsement.
This was done, and the natnes " Sylvester and
Walker" written underneath, in Sylvester's hand-
writing. The money was obtained for the bills, but
instead of paying it into the Court of Chancery,
Mr. Sylvester converted the money to his own use,
for which offence, and for the forgery, he now stands
committed to Newgate for trial. The indictment
has been moved by certiorari into the Court of
King's Bench.

After considerable discussion between the Court
and the Learned Counsel on both sides, it was ulti-
mately arranged, with the consent of all parties, that
the plaintiff should be nonsuited, with liberty to
move the Court above (all the points being reserved)
to have a verdict entered for the plaintiff for 1,9301.
(2,3701. less by 440/. admitted to have been paid
on account), it being agreed that the Court shall
stand its the place of a jury as to the inference to be
drawn from the evidence.

ANECDOTE OF PROFESSOR WILSON.-
Turn we now suddenly and without preparation—simply
by way of illustrating the versatile humour of the man—
from this grave and philosophic scene, to another first
introduction, under most different circumstances, to the
same Mr. WILSON Represent to yourself the earliest
dawn of a fine summer morning, time about half-past two
o'clock. A young man, anxious for an introduction to
Mr. WILSON, and as yet pretty nearly a stranger to the
country, has taken up his abode in Grasmere, and has
strolled out at this early hour to that rocky and
moorish common, called the White Moss, which over
hangs the Vale of Rydal, dividing it from Grasmere.
Looking southward in the direction of Rydal, suddenly
he becomes aware of a huge beast advancing at a long
trot, with the heavy and thundering tread of a hippopo
taunts along the public road. The creature is soon arrived
Within half a mile of his station ; and by the grey light of
morning is at length made out to be a bull, apparently
flying from some unseen enemy in his rear. As yet, how-
ever, all is mystery ; but suddenly three horsemen double
a turn in the road, and come flying into sight with
the speed of a hurricane, manif,stly in pursuit of the
fugitive bull. The animal manages to navigate his huge
bulk to the moor, which he reaches, and then pauses,
panting and blowing one clouds of smoke from his nostrils,
to look back from his station amongst rocks and slippery
crags upon his pursuers. If he had conceited that the
rockiness of the ground had secured his repose. :he foolish
bull is soon undeceived : the horsemen, scarcely relaxing
their speed, charge up the hill, and soon gaining
the rear of the bull, drive him at gallop over the worst
part of that itnpracticable ground down into the level be-
low. At this point of time the stranger perceives, by the
increasing light a the morning, that the hunters are
armed with immense spears—l 4 feet long With these
the bull is soon dislodged, and scouring down to the plain
below, he and the hunters at his tail, take to the head of
the lake, and all, in the madness of the chase, are soon
engitiphed in the swamps of the morass. After plunging
together for ten or fifteen minutes, all suddenly regain the
terra firma, and the bull again makes for the rocks.
Up to this moment there had been the silence of ghosts ;
and the stranger had doubted whether the spectacle was
not a pageant of aerial spectres, ghostly huntsmen, ghostly
lances, and a ghostly bull. But, just at this crisis—a voice
(it was that of Mr. Wit SON) shouted aloud, " Turn the
villain : turn that villain ; or he will take to Cumberland."
The young stranger did the service required of him ;
the villain was turned, and fled southwards; while the
hunters, lance in rest, rushed after him. All bowed their
thanks as they fled past the youth ; the fleet cavalcade
again took the high road ; they doubled the cape which
shut them out of sight; and in a moment all had disap-
peared, and left the quiet valley to its original silence
whilst the oung stranger, and two grave Westmorelands
tismue hadco,ing in s

other),
"to themselves, perhaps, as w.ll they [night—

But these were no bubbles. The bull was a substantial bull ;
and took nohartn at all from !wing tut ned out occasion-
ally at Midnight for a chase of fifteen or eigh eon mites.
The bull, no doubt, used to wonder at this nightly visi-
tation ; and its owner must sometimes have pondered
a little on the draggled state in which the swamps
would now and then leave his beast; but no other harm
came of it. And so it happened, and in the very burly but ly
of such an unheard-of chase, that my friend was fortun tte
enough, by a little service, to recommend himself to the
notice of Mr. itsozst. And thus passed the scene of his
jirst introduction."..Scots Times.

DISCOVERY OF AN EXTENSIVE AND

SPLENDID CAVERN.

(From a Correspondent of the Tipperary Free Press.)
About six weeks ago, as some workmen were
employed in quarrying stones in a limestone quarry
-ituated within seven miles of the town of Caber,
Ind six miles of Mitchelstown, on the old line of
road, they discovered, at the distance of twenty feet
from the surface, an opening into the rock capable
of admitting the body of one person. Prompted
by curiosity, one of the men entered the opening,
and proceeded along a sloping declivity which ter-
minated at the distance of forty or fifty feet from
the entrance in an abrupt descent of about twenty
feet. Unable to proceed further, he returned, and
having procured a ladder, he, accompanied by two
or three of the workmen, proceeded to explore the
cavern. Having descended the ladder, they pro-
ceeded along a passage about three hundred yards
in length, forty feet in breadth, and generally be-
tween thirty and forty feet in height, at the termi-
nation of which a superb cavern, nearly one mile in
circumference, presented itself to their view. This
grand cavern seemed to be supported by about 150
chrystal columns, varying in height from thirty to
forty feet, and in diameter from one to eight feet. In
the middle of this spacious cavern is placed a
chrystalised petrefaction exactly resembling a table,
about seven feet in length and two in breadth, sur-
mounted with chrystal candelabras of the most curious
construction. The subject would be endless were I
to enumerate the varier), of surprising creations
which nature has displayed in this subterranean
palace. At the distance of seven or eight hundred
yards, and immediately opposite the entrance, lies
another passage, which led them into what they
called the lower cave, which is about three quarters
of a mile in circumference, supported like the former
nye by lofty pillars, and decorated with the most
fanciful productions. Having proceeded through
this cave, they discovered an aperture, which having
ascended by a flight of eight steps, a sight presented
itself to their view capable of impres-ing the
strongest emotions of surprise and astonishment on
the mind of the spectator. It would be useless for
me to attempt a description of this astonishing hall;
suffice it to say that it is about three miles in cir-
cumference, supported like the other caves with in-
numerable pillars, and adorned with almost perfect
imitations of all that art and nature presents to our
view. However, I cannot forbear remarking that
in the centre of this magnificent hall, and pending
from its roof, appears a petrefactiou resembling the
body of a horse, through which, at the distance of
fifteen feet from the floor, issues a stream of pure
water, which, after forming several evolutions on its
chr).stalized bed, disappears, with hollow murmur-
ings, at the furthest extremity of the hall. Through
an opening to the right in the last-mentioned had,
they descended by a flight of ten or twelve steps to
a cavern called the long cave, about a mile and a
half in circumference, supported in like manner by
superb columns, and adorned with many of the
same imitations of nature and art. Amongst the
imitations of art is a hollow chrystalized petre-
faction, resembling a drum, which, when struck
upon, produces a sound, the reverberation of which
will continue for several minutes. Having pro-
ceeded through the last-mentioned cave, they came
to a fi-sure in its right side which led them into
what they called the cellar cave. This cave, unlike
the rest, is not supported by pillars, nor adorned
with those productions of nature for which the
others are so highly appreciated; but the spectator
is amply compensated for the absence of those or-
naments, by the view of a deep and rapid river,
which urges its subterranean course through the
middle of the cave, and which, in all probability, is
the same which passes through another celebrated
cave called the " Sheep Cavern," a place too well
known to offer any comment upon.
Coulagarranroe, July 28, 1833.

Several beautiful specimens of spar, &c., have
been brought from he cavern, and left for inspection
at the office of the Tipperary Free Press.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 7.-
Another dull day in the mirket. The sales reach 2,500
bags, and as holders are firm, prices remain as before.

COFFIN FOUND.—On Monday last, while
wosktnen were engaged in widening the ditch on the low-
lying ground between the property of Provost M'Kie,
and the Glebe, their operations were partially impeded by
what appeared to be the remains of a coffin. Only the
foot of the coffin has as yet been laid open, and though
the workmen have not thus far discovered any remains of
mortality, a disagreeable rilluvia succeeded the first turn-
ing over of the earth. We met with an aged citizen
within whose remembrance the locality iu question con-
tained the unconsecrated grave of a .suicide.—Dumfries

FEMALE EDUCATION.—Let your first care
be to give your little girls a good .‘ physicai " education.
Let their early years be passed, it possible, in the country.
gathering flowers in the fields, and partaking of all the
free exercises in which they delight. When they grow
older, do not condemn them to sit eight listless hours a day
over their books, their work, their maps, and their music.
Be assured, half the number of hours passed in real at-
tention to well ordered studies will make them more accom-
plished and more agreeable companions than those com-
monly are who Lave been most elaborately " finished," in
the modern acceptation of the term. The systems by
which young ladies are taught to move their limbs accord-
ing to the rules of art, to come into a room with globe.,
diffidence, and to step into a carriage with measured ac-
tion and premeditated grace, are only calculated to keep
the degrading idea perpetually present, that they at.
preparing for the great market of ti e world. Real
elegance of demeanour springs from the mind ; fashion
able schoulre do but teach its imitation, whilst their rule-
forbid to be ingenuous. Philosophers never conceived
the idea of so perfect a vacuum as is found to exist in the
minds of young women who are supposed to have finished
their education in such establishments. If they marry
husbands as uninformed as themselves, they fall into habit-
of indol. nt insignificance witi,out much pain; if they
marry persons more accomplished, they can retain no
hold of their affections. Hence many matrimonial !Ili
series, in the midst of which the wi.e finds it a console
tion, to be always co plaining of her health and ruble,
nerves.—ln the education of young women we would Kay
let them be secured from all the trappings and manacles in
such a system ; let them partake of every active exercise
not absolutely unfeminine, and rust to their being able to ger
into or out of a carriage with a light and graceful step
which no drilling can accomplish. Let them rise earn
and retire early to rest, and trust that their beauty wii
not need to lie coin, d into artificial smiles in order to in
sure a welcoo e, whatever toont they enter. Let their
ride, walk, run, dance, in the open air. Encourage iii
merry and innocent diversions in which the young de
light ; let them, under proper guidance, explore every lid
and valley; let them plant and cultivate the garden, an,
inake hay when the summer sun shiees, and surincuot eri,
dread of a shower of rain or the boisterous wind ; arc
ariove all, let them take no medicine except when ti
doctor orders it. The demons of hysteria and metauehui
might hover over a group of young ladies so brought up
but they would not find one of diem upon swoon ti,c:
could exercise any power.—Foreign Quarterly Review.
