MARYLEBONE.

-This day being fixed for the further investigation of the
alleged adulteration of the flour belonging to Mr. Fortescue,
baker, Lisson-grove, Mr. Thornhill, of 24, Mark-lane, the
cornfactor who supplied the flour, came forward, and said
that he had caused an analysis of the flour to be made, for
the purpose of vindicating his character.
Mr. Phillips, professor of chemistry, St. Thomas's Hos-
pital, then stated that he found the flour did not contain
more than half a grain in a hundred of earthy matter, which
was a less quantity than flour usually contained. He,
therefOre, did not think it was adulterated. _ _

Mr. T. Dakin, of King William-street, London-bridge,
Mr. Fortescue's chemist, coincided with Mr. Phillips, that
the flour was not adulterated. He added, however, that
on comparing it with other flour he found a great deficiency
of glutinous matter. But this might arise from a difference
in the soil on which the flour grew.

It was then arranged that the flour merchant from whom
the flour came should take back the flour in Mr. Fortes-
cue's possession.

UNION- HALL.

Caroline Paton, a remarkably tall young woman, was
charged with sending threatening letters to Mr. Jonathan
Barnes, an infirm old gentleman, residing at Kennington-
green. The complainant stated that Miss Paton not only
sent threatening letters to him, but also laid wait for him
when he left home, and insulted him in the streets. Within
the last twelve months he had received from her between
300 and 400 letters of an offensive nature, and he was at
length compelled to adopt the present proceedings.
The Magistrate- perused some of the letters, which
threatened to pull the complainant and everything out of
his house, for abandoning the writer and leaving her in
poverty, after he had ruined her prospects in life.
The complainant's two daughters stated that for dayS
together the defendant would stand opposite to and walk
about in front of the house, and that if their father hap-
pened to go out she immediately ran towards him and
abused him. •

The defendant, on being called upon for her defence,
began crying, and stated that after Flying under the pro-
tection of the complainant for nine years he had abandoned
her ; he had induced her to leave a good situation, and all
she wanted was a small sum of money, to enable her to go
home to her friends.

The Magistrate_ observed that the course she pursued
was contrary to law, and ordered her to find bail.

HATTON-GARDEN.

On Saturday John Thomson alias Charles Newton, a
fashionably-dressed young man, about thirty years of age,
was charged with having stolen 1761. in Bank of England
notes and sovereigns, the property of W. Hewitt, Esq., of
Abscott Farm, Moseley Hurst.
It appeared the prosecutor had attended a horse sale on
the previous afternoon, in Percival-street, Clerkenwell, for
the purpose of purchasing two horses, when a numerous
body of the swell mob were present.
Mr. Wood said he saw the prisoner and another of the
gang feeling Mr. llewitt's pockets ; after which they rushed
to the door. He collared the prisoner, but the other fellow
made his escape. None of the money was found. The
prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. He was re-
manded.

The reading public will be glad to learn that the
distinguished author of " The Subaltern," and " The
Country Curate," is on the point of publishing a work of
fiction, of which the design is at once new and highly im-
portant. Under the title of " Chronicles of Waltham,"
the writer intends to give a series of stories, all bearing on
one main subject, and having for their object the illustra-
tion of country life, and the condition of the rural popula-
tion as modified by present laws and manners. These nar-
ratives are understood to be characterised by profound in-
terest, and to serve the opposite side to that maintained in
the tales of Miss Martineau.

A MOVING BOG.—This rather rare phenomenon
has been lately witnessed on a part of Lord O'Neil's estate,
in the neighbourhood of Randalstown, on the Ballymena-
road and about 2/ miles from tile former town. The fol-
lowing is the substance of a letter which we have received
from a gentleman who was at the place on Saturday last :
On the 19th ult., in the evening the first movement
occurred. A person who was near the ground was sur-
prised to hear a sort of rumbling noise, as if under the earth ;
and immediately after, his surprise was not a little increased
on perceiving a part of the bog move, pretty rapidly, for-
ward a distance of a few perches. It then halted, and ex-
hibited a broken ragged appearance, with a soft peaty sub-
stance boiling up through the chinks. It remained in this
state till the 22d, when it suddenly moved forward at a
quick rate, covering corn fields, potato fields, turf stacks,
hay ricks, &c., not a vestige of which now remains to be seen.
So sudden and rapid was this movement that the adjacent
mail-coach road was covered in a few minutes, or rather
moments, to a depth of nearly 20 feet. It then directed its
course towards the river Maine, which lay below it ; and so
great was its force, and such the quantity of matter carried
along, that the moving mass was forced a considerable way
across the river. In consequence of the late heavy rains,
the river has again found its channel through the matter
deposited in its bed, otherwise the water would have been
forced back, and immense damage done to the land on the
banks. The fish in the river have been killed for a con-
siderable distance. The damage done by the mossy in-
undation has been very considerable. About 150 acres of
excellent arable land have been covered, and rendered to-
tally useless. Down the middle of the projected matter
a channel has been formed, through which there is a on-
tinned flow of dark peaty substance over ground where only
two weeks ago the reapers were at -work. A house close
by the road is so far overwhelmed, that only a part of the
roof is to be seen. Besides the actual damage sustained,
the utmost alarm prevails, and the people living adjacent to
the place have been removing their furniture, &c. to a dis-
tance. All manner of absurd reasons are assigned to aa-
count for the destroying visitation ; but, as the cause is one
of a natural and sufficiently well ascertained kind, it is
useless to dwell upon solutions offered by ignorance.—Bel-
fast Northern Whig

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, OCTOBER 9.

We had much unsteadiness at the beginning of the week, so much
so that prices were barely otherwise than nominal. A moresettled
disposition was evinced on Tuesday, and since then the market has
evinced a more even tenor, but closes without spirit. In the Ame-
rican market there is no change from last Friday, but Brazil cot-
tons are Vid. per lb. lower. Speculators have taken 2,500 Ame-
ricans ; and exporters 1,900 Americans and 100 Surats. The total
sales are 22,900 bags, namely—
