but it is not to be denied that the want of some check upon
the admission to it, as well as of some judicial correction, has
been the means of introducing a class of low uneducated
practitioners, greatly to the injury of the honour and character
of the profession at large.
BERWICK MARKET.—.--The attendance of servants
at high market was limited. The demand was chiefly for
women servants, who were readily engaged at 5/. ss. and
5/. 10s., and we heard of some few instances of 61. being given.
The wages for men were generally 51. is.
We are called on at length to announce the death
of Judith Long, alias Mendham, the wise woman of Walpole,
at the advanced age of 84. She was the oracle among the
credulous of the neighbourhood, and not a few have been her
dupes in the necromancer's art.—Lincoln Gazette.

A company of agriculturists have taken the great
forest of Brecknock (a few years ago sold by the Crown), con-
sisting of 16,000 acres of land, which they intend to stock
with Welsh ponies and sheep.
The Sultan's decree against smoking causes great
discontent not only in the capital, but in the provinces, espe-
cially Bulgaria.
CHARD.—A few days ago Thomas Moore, a noto-
rious poacher, who, it is stated, used to kill, on an average,
500 hares a year, was committed for trial, by the Rev. J.
Clarke and Captain White, on a charge of setting fire to a
young plantation in the parish
_of Churchstanton.—Bath
Journal.

Died, on Saturday evening, at the advanced age of
98 years, William Evans, who has swept the crossing at Buck-
ingham-gate for nearly 30 years. It is suspected that he has
left a considerable sum of money behind him. He had been
engaged at the battle of Alexandria, and lost a leg, besides
being seriously injured in the head, and he was, up to his
death, in the receipt of a pension of a shilling a day. The
deceased enjoyed good health up to a few minutes of his
death, and was on Saturday seen at the gate following his
avocation.

Ipswicx, MAY 14.—0 n the 29th ult. the Ccesar,
of Colchester, on her way from Newcastle, whilst off Aldbo-
rough, was struck by a heavy sea, which filled her mainsail,
and completely cleared the deck, leaving the vessel a perfect
wreck. The crew, four in number, were seen on a mast by a
schooner at some distance from them, the captain of which

got sufficiently near to hail them, and ascertained the cause
of the catastrophe, but the wind was blowing so strong at the
time, that every effort to save them proved ineffectual, and
the poor fellows all met a watery grave; they were all natives
of Colchester, and some have left wives and families to deplore
their loss.

ATHENS, APRIL 18.—The banditti Chief, Kon-
tobernisios (who was lately captured, after a desperate resist-

ante, in which all his comp-anions were killed or taken) is dead
of three severe wounds which he received, without having been
prevailed upon to make any confession. It is said that the
brothers Chondrojanni are also taken, so that the Pelopon-
nesus is freed from banditti. But some instances of robbery
have taken place on the Turkish frontiers, and in the Thermo-

pylm, and pirates have appeared in the Greek seas ; but our

means of defence are so well organised, that we may expect
all such cruises will be speedily put an end to.—Swabian

Mercury, May 12.

POPERY.--Last week, 226 acres of land, situated
on Charnwood Forest, in this county, was sold to the Rev.
Mr. Hulm, a Roman Catholic priest, residing at Loughbo-
-.

rough, for the purpose of founding a Roman -Catholic mo-
nastery of the Jesuit Order. The land was the property of
Thomas Gisborne, Esq., M. P.—lt was also currently reported
in Loughborough, that Charles M. Phillipps, Esq., had em-
braced the order, and that he intended to end his days in the
new monastery.—Leicester Herald.

On Sunday morning about 8 o'clock, the neighbour-
hood of Broadwall, Lambeth, was thrown into a state of great
excitement and alarm, by a current report that a woman had
been found dead in a shed behind the Bull in the Pound public-
house, Broadwall, and near to the late Mr. Henry Hunt's
blacking manufactory, and supposed by appearances to have
been murdered. The body was conveyed to the bone-house,
and subsequently to the vaults of St. John's church, Waterloo-
road. A gentleman, one of those whom curiosity had led to
view the body, declared her to be a married woman, and re-
spectably connected. He gave the name and address of the
deceased, and every information in his power, to further the
elucidation of the affair, to the police.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last,
Coney, weaver, Girvan, loaded his gun, and put a percussion
cap on it, for the purpose of shooting sea-fowl ; but not hav-
ing fallen in with any, he returned home, and placed the gun
on the bed head, without firing off the contents. On the
Sunday, while the family were preparing for breakfast,
M'Clelland, observing the gun, took it down, and while han-
dling it, it went off, and the contents entered the right ear of
Mary Ann Wilson, a young. woman of about twenty years of
age, who instantly fell down dead.—Ayr Observer.
TORNADO.—A most furious tornado was expe-
rienced at Columbia, Tennessee, on the night of the 21st
March. Its entire duration is said to have been but a few mi-
..

nutes, in the course of which houses were torn from their

foundations, trees uprooted, and piled together, fences prostra-
ted, and every thing within the scope of its fury beaten down,
and destroyed. Eight persons were killed, and fifteen or
twenty badly wounded. The account says that " a negro
girl, belonging to a family in which four persons were killed,
was blown into the fire, and there confined by a beam until
the storm was over, when, directed by her screams, assistance
was afforded. In this excruciating situation she lay literally
roasting for nearly an hour. She is still alive. Some con.
ception of the velocity of the wind may be had from the fact
that in a green lynn tree, near Mr. Lusk's dwelling, is to be
seen sticking about twenty feet from the ground a broad piece
of poplar plank, firmly driven in to the depth of four or five
inches, and at an angle of about 45 degrees, across the grain."
HYDROPHOBIA.—A case of this dreadful disease
occurred within the last week. The unfortunate sufferer was
a young woman, a native of Ballyneen, who had been bitten
in the hand three months ago by a strange dog in her own
house. The violent symptoms began on the afternoon of Sun-
day, and after horrible snffering and excruciating agony, she
expired within sixty hours from their first appearance. We
are informed that in this case the tobacco enema afforded the
only relief; every possible means were used, but the tobacco
alone appeared to quiet the spasms. This young woman was
induced to eat the liver and heart of the dog by which she
was bitten, as soon as they could be got ready, a prevailing
custom, and looked upon as a sure antidote among the lower
orders.—Dublin Mail.

The incendiaries now seem to direct their vengeance
against farming buildings rather than ricks. On Sunday night
last the farm buildings of Mr. William Whorrah, in the parish
of Burton Dassett, near Warwick, were fired and destroyed,
together with farming stock therein to the value of 300/. ; and
on Friday last, at midnight, a fire was discovered in three
places on the farm buildings of Mr. Knight, at Donhead St.
Mary, near Shaftesbury, by which a dwelling-house, barn,
stables, carthouse, and their contents, were entirely destroyed.
The buildings and stock were fully insured in the County Fire
Office.

A Coroner's Inquest was held at Welbeck, on Mon-
day se'nnight, on the body of James Smith, apprentice to Mr.
Reynolds, cook to his Grace the Duke of Portland. On the
morning of the 9th he was found in his bed-room in a state of
complete exhaustion, produced, as appeared by the evidence
given, from the effects of a pan of charcoal, which he took into
his bed-room on the night previous, with the intention of de-
stroying himself. It was clearly ascertained that disappoint-
ment in a love affair was the cause of his committing the me-
lancholy act. Verdict—" Febo de se."
Yesterday Alexander Somerville, formerly of the
Scots Greys, and whose flogging made such a noise in the
world three years since, was brought before the sitting Ma-
gistrate, charged with being drunk, and breaking the door and
several articles of furniture in a house in the Canongate, on
the morning of Tuesday last, also with biting or cutting the
hand of the watchman who went to seize him. The case being
clearly proved, Somerville was sentenced to pay a fine of 2/.,
and, in default of payment, to 30 days' confinement, besides
finding caution in the sum of 201. for his future conduct, or
failing which, 30 days' further confinement. From the noto-
riety which the offender had acquired, the case excited some
interest; but his appearance, which was rather simple and
clownish, certainly did not bespeak that shrewdness and talent
for which his zealous partisans had given him credit.—Edin-
burgh Observer.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF THE LATE PRINCE
DE COND=.—In a very interesting cause in itself, which came
on lately before the Tribunal of Senlis, the following inci-
dent occurred :—lt may be remembered that in October last,
Madame de Pontalba was the ivictim of an attempt at assassi-
nation committed on her person by the old Baron de Pontalba,
her father-in-law, who afterwards committed suicide. This
lady applied to the Court, that she might not be obliged, at
least for the present, to cohabit with her husband in the same
chateau which was the scene of the horrible catastrophe, or in
an apartment proposed for her in Paris, and which was the
very same occupied by M. de Pontalba the father. Among
other grounds for the application of Madame de Pontalba, was
a certificate of M. Marjolin, the celebrated physician of the
capital. This document, after having been severely criticised
by the Advocate of M. de Pontalba, afforded the Procureur du
Roi an opportunity of making some observations upon the at-
testations of Doctors, and the little confidence that should be
placed in the certificate of M. Marjolin. Upon this subject the
magistrate felt it his duty to recal to the mind of his audi-
tory a frightful event which, about five years ago, left among
all the population of the town and its vicinity most deep
and sincere regrets. He cited the tragical end of his
Royal Highness the Prince de Conde, the benefactor and pa-
tron of the whole of that arrondissement, in which the Castle
of Chantilly, and the greatest part of his immense inheritance
are situated. He said that at the moment of that melancholy
catastrophe, this same M. Marjolin was called to examine the
body, and ascertain the sort of death of the unfortunate Prince.
M. Marjolin certified under his hand that the death was
caused by an act of suicide. " Well," added the Procureur
du Roi, " notwithstanding all our .respect for a judicial
verdict, and whatever may have been the cause of that dark
and mysterious event, we feel it our duty here to state, gen-
tlemen, that there is not one of us who believes that the Prince
de Conde committed suicide." These words, thus publicly
spoken, have produced an indescribable effect. Received
with approbation as they generally hre in these countries, the
words of the Procureur du Roi, are, as it were, a public and se,
lemn suction pf the religious respect attached to the memory
of the last of the Condes, and of the well-established opinion
that this Prince perished the victim of assassination. Every
eye was turned to the Honourable M. Hennequin, the Advo-
cate of Madame de Pontalba, who was present at the hearing,
and who appeared M be singularly affected by an argument so
unexpected, and an acknowledgment so important, from the
lips of a Magistrate 9f the present Government.

NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
Newmarket, Monday afternoon.
The races commence to-morrow instead of Monday, as hereto-
fore. The will be confined to three days, but of the quantity or
character of the sport it is impossible to form an opinion at present,
as the list contains only the skeleton of stakes and plates, which
have not yet closed. The Whip may be challenged for to-morrow
or Wednesday in the usual way.
Taking advantage of the fine weather, the horses have moved
for Epsom rather earlier than usual. Lord Jersey's lot started on
Friday. It consisted of Ibrahim, Silenus, Glencoe (for the Ascot
Cup), Musquito, and Sir F. Johnston's Merlin filly. On Wednes-
day Lord Orford's left ; they were Ascot, Bodice, Stargazer, and
Paris. Mr. Greville's Preserve, Mr. Ridsdale's Coriolanus and
Luck's All, Mr. Bowes's Mundig, Lord Chesterfield's Fergus and
Eva, and a few others have also departed. The Duke of Cleve-
land's go on Tuesday. Trim, Pelops, Leander, &c., are already
there.
The Ascot Oatlands closes on Thursday. Amongst the company
here are the Duke of Rutland, Lord Charles Manners, Lerd Lich-
field, Sir Sandford and Lady Graham, Mr. and Mrs. C. Wilson,
and a few others. Lord Lichfield and Mr. Wilson are still suffer-
ing from the gout.
It is now reported that Lord Berners does not relinquish the turf
altogether, but will keep a few horses in training. John Doe is
understood to be engaged to Lerd Lichfield as private trainer.
No betting here.
York Spring Races commence on Monday neat.
Liverpool Summer Races are altered from the 7th to the 14th of
July, in order not to interfere with Newmarket.
