LEWIS AND ANOTHER D. HELPS.

In this case, which respected a policy of insurance, and
which was not concluded yesterday when our reporter left
the Court, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant, on
the issue as to the fraud, and were discharged from giving
any verdict on the other issues.

CHOLERA AT GREAT COATES.—One day
last week, two labourers, working at Great Coates, found
a bed on the shore, which they ripped open, threw away
the straw, and took the ticking home.—This they had
well washed, and refilled with fresh straw, using it as a
bed. One of the men who slept upon it, was taken ill,
and died of the spasmodic cholera on Friday. A woman
who assisted to lay him out died on Saturday morning,
and another woman, who nursed her, died on Sunday, of
the same disease. The other man who was with the first
deceased, when he found the bed, and was his fellow-la-
hourer, lies now very ill of the cholera, at Grimsby. It is
conjectured that the bed was thrown overboard from the
Minerva in Whitebooth-roads, At the village of Clee,
one case has occurred.-- York Chronicle.

PLANTING.—The shopkeeper turns his capi-
tal once in a week or month. The farmer turns his
money once in a year, but the forest planter must discard
the commercial maxim " a small profit and quick return,"
for be can scarcely turn his capital once in his lifetime.
Still, however, nothing can piy better than the planting
of waste lands with forest trees. Oaks, pines, and
willow.', will give more profit than ferns, heaths, and
rushes, and a practical man with four labourers under
him could superintend 500 acres. A man cannot amass
a large property for his children by a small outlay so surely
as by planting.

An important anti•tithe meeting was held on
Sunday last at B illyhale, County of Kilkenny, the Hon.
Colonel BUTLER (Deputy Lord-Lieutenant) in the Chair,
at which upwards of 150,000 individuals were said to have
been present.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Sunday
se'nnight a swarm of bees settled en the lamp-iron in
front of the house of Mr. HOWE, St. James's-street, St.
James's-square, in this city. They had evidently come
from a great distance, and being but young travellers,
they were so exhausted that great numbers fell dead on
the pavement. After some time a man lured them away
by holding up a besom, upon which they gradually settled,
and were thus carried away by him to his garden, where
they were regularly hived.—Bath Herald.

THE CHOLERA. is with much sorrow we
are led to announce that the cholera is at present existing
in Lynn. Many of our inhabitants have already fallen
victims to the disease, and although its ravages are not so
formidable perhaps as they were a week ago, yet we still
find the pestilential disorder breaking forth with mitigated
symptoms at various parts of the town. We understand
that in the villages around, it is sill more severe in its
effects than in the town, the proportion both of cases and
deaths being greater in regard to population.—Cambridge
Chronicle.

GOLD Box TO EARL GREY.—The top ot
the Gold Box presented to the Right Honourable E ,r 1
GREY, represents in the centre the King's Crown encir-I
cled with a wreath of oak leaves and acorns, surrounaed
by the various emblems of the State, and support& ! on
each side by the Reform Bill, and Magna Charta; a border
of roses, thistles, and shamrocks, completes the top. On
the front are the arms of the City of London, and an the
bottom the arms, supporters, &c. of Earl GREY. The
whole is exquisitely embossed, and reflects great credit on
the manufacturer, Mr. Duurt, of Curnhill.—The top
of the box for the Right Hoa. Lord ALTHORP, has the
City Arms, richly chased, with a border in raised gold of
roses, thistles, and shamrocks. On the front, the sword
and mace of the city, and on the bottom, the arms, crest
&c., of Lord Atanoar. The resolutions of the Court
of Common Council are engraved inside the lid of each box.

We regret to learn by a Chelmsford paper that
four fatal cases of cholera occured at Billericay last week.
Mis- BLENCOWE, daughter of J. P. BLENcowE, Esq.,
of Lynn, was seized with vomiting about nine o'clock on
Thursday morning, and died in a state of perfect collapse
at eleven o'clock that night. The two Misses EVANS, in
whose school Miss BLENCOWE WAS an inmate, were both
attacked the same evening, and though the saline injection
was resorted to with every appearance of success in the
first instance, Miss MARY EVANS died at half-past ten on
Saturday, and Miss DIANA EVANS at three o'clock on
Sunday morning. Miss BLENCOWE was about 30, and
the Misses EvAris nearly 60 years of age. The other case
was that of Mrs. BARRETT, wife of a watchmaker, who
supped off radishes and currant pie on Wednesday night,
was attacked at seven o'clock the next morning, and dird
in the evening, aged 62. It is consolatory to add that
there is now no case of cholera eithtr in Billericay or
Chelmsford.— Cambridge Chronicle.

We insert the following excerpt of a letter from
a person in Glasgow to a friend in Wigtown, giving a
melancholy account of the frightful ravages of cholera in
that city and in Paisley :—" We received your letter, and
would not have written to you so soon, but the cholera
being very prevalent here at present, I thought you wou Id
be anxious about us. A person seldom goes out but he
sees one or more of its victims a-taking either to the hos-
pital or the grave. I saw five put into one hearse ; there
was another, but they could not get it in. It is so fatal
that there have been several found dead in the morning,
who were quite well the night before. I had occasion t.,
he at Paisley yesterday, when Aunt told me that Mrs.
M•GuFFIE, formerly in Wigtown, now in Glasgow, ha.
met with asad loss. One of her daughters was about to
sail for America, and Mrs. W. G. went down to Paisley
to see her before she sailed. She and her three daughters
all drank tea together on Monday evening. One of the
daughters was seized with cholera that night, and died the
following morning. Another took it that morning, and
died at twelve o'clock. The third took it at two o'clock,
and died after only four hours' illness. They Were all
buried the same evening. What a change from time to
eternity."—Dumfries Courier.
HASLEMERE, BOROUGH OF, SURREY.—
This borough contains 60 voters, and 900 inhabitants.
The late Earl of LONSDALE, when Sir JAMES LowTIIER,
purchased it for 24,0001. from an apothecary, and an
attorney in the neighbourhood, who had bought it for
18,0001; these village professionals thus clearing 6,0001,
by the unhallowed bargain. The Earl, not thinking it
safe to trust any of the inhabitants with a conveyance of
his freeholds, actually sent forty of his labourers from his
collieries in the north of England to reside in this borough ;
erected cottages for their accommodation, and allowed them
half a guinea a week each, besides what they might earn
by their labour, if they thought proper to work !
All he required of these gentlemen in black was to choose
two members of his own nomination for Haslemere. These
men continued to reside in this borough during the remain-
der of that Nobleman's life, a period of more than 20 years;
and elected the Members who represented it in the 15th,
16th, 17th, and 18th Parliaments of Great Britain ; tha.t is,
from 1780 to 1800. Upon the death of the late Earl, the
present one, thinking the expense of supporting these men
might be dispensed with, dismissed them, and sent them
home; the consequence of which was, that, at the general
election in 1812, two Opposition candidates appeared on
the morning of the election. The Earl having made no

THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR,
IN SIXTY LESSONS,

Particularly calculated to render the speaking of French

easy to English persons. The Fourth Edition.
By J. V. DOUVILLE, M.A.
Professor of the French Language, 110, Strand, London. 1832.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—This Grammar, of which the fourth edition has just ap.
peared, will be found eminently useful for self-instruction. It is
the best companion which a person desirous of learning the
French language can possibly have. The Essays on the rules of
the language are all colloquial, and form a valuable repertory for
conversation. By construing these familiar exercises into
French, according to the method recommended in the Key, the
Pupil is kept in constant practice, and may learn the French
language with as much facility as if he studied in Paris.
1 am, Sir, yours respectfully,
London, July 13, 1832. M. N. 0.
N.B.—M. Douville is also the author of an excellent in-
troductory book to the French language, in 19 lessons.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 CK.

Our arrivals this morning are scanty. A French mail,
and the New York packet off Holyhead, with letters and
papers, have not as yet come to hand.

THE FUNDS.

The important motion on the payment of the Russian
loan was discussed last night in the House of Commoas, and
has terminated in favour of Ministers by a majority of 46.
This result is looked upon in the city as highly important,
and no doubt when this important debate reaches the
Russian capital it will have great weight with the Empe-
ror. It will convince him of the integrity and honesty of
our present Ministers, as well as their power, and being
firmly seated in the high offices they are entrusted with.
It will at the same time have a great effect with the other
Foreign Powers, and prove to them that England deals in
honour and sincerity; and it will also bring the Dutch
question to a speedy settlement.

Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday,
84i 85 ; at present they are 85 for the account.
No news as yet from Dun Pedro.

Extract of a letter from Captain Harby of the Ring-
fisher, dated Quebec, June 18 :

" The cholera is raging here in a dreadful way, and the
Canadians are in a sad plight, running away into the
country; all business is at a stand, but as the cases have de-
creased yesterday and to day, they begin to return; up to
the 19th, 800 cases, and 500 deaths."
There has been but little fluctuation in the Funds dur-
ing the whole of the morning. :Consols which were in the
early part of the day at S4i, are at present 85 buyers, for
the account, with little doing.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, JULY 12.—The
Sessions having terminated, the awful sentence of death
was passed upon the following three unfortunate individu-
als, viz.:—HENRY OrraK and WILLIAM Joracs, for
housebreaking and committing larcenies therein ; and
LEVY de SIZEE, for a robbery of the person. The oldest
person attending the Court cannot remember so few capi-
tal convicts at any preceding Sessions. The Court then
adjourned to Thursday, the 6th of September next.

Several landlords in the county Cork have
directed their agents to r,quire every tenant to produce
the clergyman's receipt for tithe, and on failing to do se,
to eject, or call in the running gale.--Dublin Freeman's

NETT, E•q., on the body of DANIEL CHURCHMAN, who,
it was supposed, was wilfully murdered by SAMUEL
Guiccs, of the Coast Guard Service, whilst running a
quantity of contraband goo Is. A verdict of " Wilful
murder" was returned against GRIGGS. The funeral of
poor CHURCHMAN took place on Friday, at St. Laurence
Church-yard. The body was conveyed from Broadatairs in
a hearse. followed by two mourning coaches, and upwards
of 160 decently attired seafaring men.—Kentish Citron.
