Boor-sTRP.T.-4-Ab.tut two years since a man of
the name.of Thomas Camel/ was tried at the Oxfo4
Assizes, for burglary, and cast for death,--aftee
which he contrived to ai“ke his escape Out ofOxfortl"
Castle. He .was advertised; and every possible
.exertion, !:.)e to apprehend him,,but,without,effeil;',
till, about two months since, when Sayers, knowing
penon, met him at Clkring Cross, ,when, alter
ti,most desperate resistance, Sayers succeeded in se.
curing him, acid conveyed him.toßow.street. Office ;
.and, after intdergoing -ao'examination before the
sitting Magistrate, .and .Sayers proving him to be
the man
,who had escaped from Oxford. Castle, he
was sent to the' BroWn Bear public.honse, ironed,
and placed in the strong room, for security, till the
time arrived for the gaolers tit convey, all the Pri.

to the different pristms to which they had been com.
mittedd During the time he Was in the strong room,
he, with the assistance' of some of his friends on the
outside 'tif the room, had the ingenuity to break
the room, by means of an iron crow, and he
etlehed his escape, with his ironi on ;, the Officers
belongi.r,g to .the Office made every possible exer.
tion 'to trace.him, but, without succeeding.' On

When those 'cloailts had been,(.ffcrrj fu.'
it was his, duty. to have inquired ,of the, bilkers,

(FROM AN AMERICAN,

A Gentleman of science and of great itformatlon;
in a letter, dated on the Mississippi, to his Corte
spondent in the city of Washington, speaking or
the country betiveen the Red River and Missouri,
says,," Salt is to be found in various forms ; if_
may be colleded christaliactl .on the surface of the,
earth, in places where .the impregnated water oozes
. from' the pores of the soil, .and spreads itself slowly
along the plane, exptised to the evaporating powei
of the sunbeams. Salt springs highly saturated are
• common: Those two means bl procuring salt are
'within-the settlement distances—up the river ; hut,
its upper branches arc said to wash hills, mountains,
or great masses of. salt ; some say very pure salt,
others say debased -with an 'admixture -of ttrrene
matter ; probably both exist,' nay, it. is not impro.
bable that the .same mountain, ridge, or chain of.
-.salt, extends from the sources of the Missouri to
the Red River. The salt region is considered by
the native Indian tribes, as sacred ground, never to
be polluted by blood.

I .
.'' The most- inveterate enemies assemble there
for the purpose of colleaing their provision of salt,
and hold friendly, or at least innocent, converse sage.
titer ; and so deeply. are.they impressed with a reli.-
gious or
.reverential -awe of the. Great Spirit. sup.
posed to preside . more immediately over those Atis.
triels, that no example has ever been. knows, of pub.
l.ic or private resentment having been satisfied• by
these savage men within theprivifegeti limits. The
Washita River and, country are supposed to effel
many curious objeds.. .
' Ic diverges .considerably from the Red. River,
of which it is a bfanch, at about-. too-leagues (lay
water) from its mouth ; it is ,s9pposed to be ~ zoo
miles from- the Red River, and in this,, position is
to be seen a 'curiosity a' few miles from.the River.
.44 It. goes by the name of. the. Boiling Spring..
The countsy is mountainous, :and. miles in extent
are covered with christaligations of a prismatic and
pyramidal form, and metallic ona?,otifer .ip;tuttal
pioduftions are said' to be 4litindapt) .but 'hitherto .

_and.hearing

The , discharge of: MOti Nathan (4s' Jew) was
opposed by- MrejApxsou, on the part of ,Mr. liar,
tison, a haberdabher,residiog in the -Borough. -
• The grounds of objection were; Out the losol.
vent had obtained 'gitods from NM under Ease pre-
tences. ,

Sarahlilake• Mr; Harrison's • shopkeeper, depos-
ed that she remembered the Prisoner
• comingio her
master's, shop, and ordering.a large quanity of laces,
veils, silk-stockings, and Irish linen, :to the!amount
of .2381. which, he said, were for a customer, and
promised. to return immediately such part of them
gis his customer would not have,
.and tq, pay for the
remainder. Under this, pretence .he got the; goods,
but neither raid for or returned any of then":
Mr. Harrison statedi that the• Ptisbner .414 his
wife had bought goods from him several' times,: and
' corroborated thetaell stated by'the former 'Witness.
Upon' his' Cross.exatninatiori by -Mr. MARRIoT,. he
said, he gave the good on the usual terms of sate
and return, which he adMitted,..vras .thie ctistOM of
the trade thafthe Prisonerhadbroughfihoie goods
to gaol with him,-'and disposed of them there.. He
refused' to 'take. half-a-crown 'in the ponndlor his
debt, but'offered to 'takes his gOOLICbaCk 4gain, in
'• full of all that doe'to'
Moses iNathan being exsmined, stated,
that he formoly 'resided :in the .Minories, and lat-
terly in St. GeorgeiTields; he' had gene to, Him-
burgh to sell his 'goods, and lost a great deal by,
a person there ;''he • Was arrested and brought to
England; and • had ;been • -onfinetl in- the King's
Binch Prison,' upwards of :three years'. He offered
Mr. Harrison the saute payment, in'commOn with
his other creditors,' but he
,refused it. •He sold the
goods in'questiun, for the benefit 'of his -.creditors
`at large. '
Mr. Serjeant-OttstOw 'said, that he had a con.
siderable doubt' upon the case. Two of the Justices
were'of opinion, that the case 'wits not sufficiently
made out ; but gaticis were not
olitained in the' usual way., The C.iae W43,Qtaero'
to stand over fur: further consideration.

Thidischprge of .Blizabeth Parsons, widow, a
most.respecrable looking old lady, of about 7o years
.of age, was oppuied by one Edmondson,' on, the
grounds of her not having inserted in her scllrd.4lc a
pension or, allowance, Which he alleged she enjoyed
from the Chamberlain's Office : he further opposed.
her Qll the grounds of her having obtained goods
under.false pretences, but on his own. examination
he was obliged to give up this laSt cltaige.
upon the examination of the Prisoner, it appear-
ed that she had an ,allowance of about 2sl. per ann.
from the Chamberlain's Office, not as a pension, but
fur adual work and labour. This allowance she
had assigned over. to Mr. Henry Martin, in consi.
deration of his having paid her credic,rs JOi• in
the pound, which since had been offered ,to Mr.
Etitnntulion and another creditor, a friend of his,
but was rejected. .She was then remandrd for the
purpose of.amending•her schedule, as to the Assign.
