Seven fine ducks, belonging to Mr. ALDITED,
a respectable farmer, of Rhodes farm, in the town:4l4lo
Pilkington, were last week stolen by some depredators ro
that neighbourhood, under rather remarkable circum-
stances. The robbery was discovered by a man in the
employ of Mr. KAY, of Clifton ball. The man NV,!S
driving some caws, and observed a number of sods turivd
up in an unusual manner. Having the recollection of th‘,
murder of MARIA MARTEN full in his mind, be almost
fancied that ho saw the apparitions of some unfortunate
victims of lawless violence stinting out of their grae,, as
idea that impelled him to redouble the speed of ins cow
After a little reflection, however, be took courage, and
turned to explore the mysterious mounds, when he di,-,
covered, certainly, that murder had been committed, but
it was only on the bodies of Mr. ALDRED'S beautiful duck,
which had their throats cut, and were carefully concealed
under the sods. Notice was given to the owner, but
owing to the absence from home at the time of Mr. KAY.
on whose land the discovery was made, the thieves
might have been detected by watching for them, were buf-
fered to escape.—filanchester Advertiser.

SMALL
small-pox, has lately made its appearance in. the Prin-
s malignant disease, the
cipality, and is now prevalent at Swansea and its neigh-
bourhood. A medical gentleman has furnished us wit!,
an account of fifteen cases which have fallen under his ob-
servation within the last fortnight ; four of which had
been previously vaccinated; two having a perfect eschar or
I cicatrix, and two wherein the cicatrix is imperfect ; the
former passed through the disease without any alarming
symptoms whatever, the pustules not exceeding thirty; ; in
the latter cases, the febrile symptoms were greater, arid
the pustules more numerous, but perfectly distinct. The
remaining eleven had not been vaccinated, and in no in-
stance was the disease so mild ; on the contrary, three had
the continent—two of which had petechid or purples, and
one of them died.—The advantage resulting from vacci-
nation or cowpox, must, therefore, appear sufficiently evi-
' dent to every observing mind—not that it can positively
be said it will prevent the disease, but it will, indispUta-
bly, mitigate its virulence on individuals disposed to take
the infection. We wish to caution parents and others

A horrid case of murder, committed upon the
person of a married female residing at Stonelaw, user
Rutherglen, took place on Sunday last. The clicumstam:es
are involved in great mystery; but the person charged with
the brutal deed is her 'own husband, who has, of course,
been taken into custody. The following are the circum-
stances of this mysterious affair as related by hint
had been at Bridgeton along with his wife on Sunday last,
on a visit to her brother, and remained there till nine or
ten o'clock at night, drinking occasionally, at which time.
they returned to their own house at Sttmelaw, accom-
panied by her brother. }Boone wished to go back to
Bridgeton with his brother-lit-law ; but his wife interfered,
and would nut consent to his doing so ; and their relation
went away alone. In a short time Moonz went after
him, and was followed by his wife a short way behind, who
tried to overtake him. She had a child in her arms.
They had not proceeded far when the prisoner says Le
heard his wife calling out " Nen, NED, lam gone." Ile
turned back, and found her lying on the ground bleeding
very profusely, and the child lying beside her. He car-
ried her on his back to the first home, and afterwards to
his own house, where she (lied in the course of half an
hour. This is the story related by the prisoner. The
body of the woman was afterwards examined, and a deep
wound was discovered to have been inflicted iu the lower
pat •.t of the abdomen. She was five urtutlis gone with

DON MIGUEL'S ACCIDENT.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

LISBON, Nov. 10.—An accident has occurred
which is likely to produce most important results on
the fate of Portugal. Don ..Aliguel yesterday, while
driving his two s;sters in a sort of phaeton, overset
the carriage and broke his right thigh; both the
Princesses were thrown from the vehicle—the elder,
Donna Izabel Maria, has her forehead severely
bruised and cut ; and the younger, Donna Maria
d'Assumcao, reeeived a contusion in the upper part
of the left leg.

The following bulletin has been published in the
Gazelle of this wonting :--
" His Majesty, going to Ma country-house at Caxias,
with the Most Serene Ladies the Mantas, the mules took
fright, and, the carriage b,t'alg overturned, his Majesty had
the misfortune to fracture his right thigh ; fortunately it
a simple fracture, and accompanied by slight contu-
Lem. Leeches have been applied, and a soothing bandage
(aparelho contentivo). His Majesty, happily, does not
suffer any illness. Of the Serene Ladies Infantas, the In-
fanta Donna Izabel Maria received a slight wound, and
contusion in the tiontal region; and the Infanta Donna
Maria d'Asitimcao a slight contusion on the left thigh.

geon of the Kingdom.

" Palace of Queluz, Nov. 9, IS:28."

Various rumours are current respecting the accident.
Some state that the she mules being driven, according to
custom to the top of their speed, took fright at something
and turned short, and the accident occurred. Others af-
firm that " his Majesty" having flogged the animals, they
revolted at the tyrant's lash, and showing themselves better
Constitutionalists than " his vassals," threw him toppling
from the driver's seat, where, according to the faShion of
the Portuguese, he was fastened by a strap, mid imagined
himself secure as on his throne. Report.says that he cursed
most gloriously as he proceeded 'in a litter..to Quetta; about
two miles from the place, 'and that be also tirder'ed three of
the keepers to be sent to prison car ba'ving given him such
restive animals to drive. •
Donna Izubel Maria is said to have also received, in addi-
tion to what the Gazette states, a contusion in the breast.
Monday Evening.
The following bulletin has been published in a Supple-
ment to the Gazette :

" Queluz, Nov. 10, 10 &dock in the Morning.

" His Majesty passed the night sleeping in the greatest
tranquillity, and coniplains,o, no illnessi and the Most
Serene Infanta haye also continued. without any altera-
tion." • (Sig?ed as before.)
This accident, which it la- calciiiated'Will detain Don
Miguel in his apartments for two" months at linst, is con-
sidered as likely to affect the proceedings of the Constitu-
tionalists. There are but few who express commiseration
—many, on the contrary, regret it was not more conclu-
sive. Party spirit is of course the source of the latter
observations ; but when one recollects the number of pri-
soners in his gaols, and of exiles frourthcirhonies ; of per-
sons skulking in holes and corners; 91 .families in ruin
and wretchedness—it is bard to _feel regret that he too
should suffer.

Tuesday Morning.
The Gazette of this morning eontairrs the following
bulletin, issued last night -
" Nov. 10, Three,quarteis past Eight at.

any charge.—Palice of Quelpz, Nov. 10, 1828."

(Signed -as before.)

The first shock of the news has passed over in Lisbon,
and all now speak of it as a matter of no moment ; some
also affect to discredit the fracture, and say it was but a
trifling accident; others magnify it, and say Don Miguel
wax in fits yesterday, and that he had the gin bottle al-
ways at his elbow. The band from the Palace, on passing
by this morning did not play his favourite air as before it
used. - One o'Clock Afternoon.

Rumour now states that Don Miguel io better.
LISBON, Nov. 12.—The most conflicting rumours_ ar.e
current respecting the state of Don Miguel. Some
~des-
cribe his situation as one of great danger ; others as quite
the reverse. In this difficulty I shall allow the good old
rule of giving both statements es they circulate, and leave
you to form your own judgment, for although the truth
will be known soon, it is hard to verify the facts at this
moment.

In the letter which I wrote to you yesterday, I described
the accident as I had then heard it described. I shall now
add some further particulars, which are also differently
stated.

It appears that on Sunday, about noon, Don Miguel
was driving his two sisters in a sort of cabriolet with tear
wheels, in front of which, on a sort of seat, which, asl
it was placed over the four wheels, and had no proper
seat, was fastened with a strap " his Majesty." He
drove his speckled mules at a furious rate from Que-
luz towards Caxias, and as the whip Was plied to their
sides, used the favourite phrase, " Andai Malhados"—
" Yee ip--spotted ones." The nickname for Constitu-
tionalists, is " Malliados," spotted ; and Don Miguel
gives it to those speckled mules. His furious driving had
frequently excited the alarm of his sisters, and they had
spoken of their danger ; but he had ridiculed their terror.
As he drove on Sunday by some old, unused roads, and
came into the fields, his attendants besought him to be-
ware,
but he followed the bent of his fancy. Passing, as
his friends say, near a village,•the inhabitants cheered him
and threw up their hats, and frightened the mules, which
ran then on a paved road at their fullest speed, struck the
carriage against a stone, a linch-pin flew out, a wheel flew
off, and the ladies were thrown out. The elder Princess,
Isabel Maria, had her forehead bruised and cut, and her
breast is said to be injured. She also complains of one of
the false ribs being damaged. The younger Princess was
also thrown out, and, it appears, suffers at present very con-
siderably from the fall. -The wheel of the carriage bruised
the whole of her left thigh; and her clothes were torn to
pieces. The two Princesses .were. conveyed, in the car-
riage of one of the attendants, to,
Queluz Palace; the
;se
younger is said to have been convulsed venal times since.
Of the manner in which Don Miguel conducted himself
there are various versions. His friends 'affirm that he la-
boured to pull the mules in, and that the reins broke ; and
the carriage having struck against a stone, the
tracer and
pole were , d
separate
•the strap broke, and Don Miguel
was thrown out and his thigh broken ; and, farther, that,
on his attendants coming and bewailing his fate, he told
them he was net so bad, and that it would be good to aid
his sisters. Messengers were sent for some sort of litter
to Caxias, and he was carried on a sofa, not to Ajuda,
which was not far distant, but to Queluz, where he pre-
ferred remaining, and where he is now going on as well
as possible. Such is the report which several persons who
have spoken to the surgeons and to others of the household
at Queluz have recounted.
On the contrary, some of the attendants around the Pa-
lace, who know bow deceived were the people as to the
time and manner of Don John -Vl.'s death, affirm drat
" his Majesty," on the carriage being turned over, was
dragged at least 100 yards; that, besides his thigh-hone,
the bone has been fractured just above the ancle-joint, arid
that his hip-bone has been bruised and severely injured ;
that the abdomen and groin are swollen, and that his life
is precarieus; that he refuses to allow any person to touch
him, and that some preparations ire making for the ap-
pointment of a Regency. Some new surgeons have been
called in this morning. This report is circulated by per-
sons present at the accident, and by others around the
Palace.

- - - While one may suppose that if Don Miguel be danger-
ously ill, the greatest care will be taken to prevent the
public from knowing the truth, one must also recollect
that great efforts will be made to magnify- his danger, it)
order to serve his adversaries.
The two Bulletins of yesterday are as unmeaning and
stupid as possible.

A number of persons in employments have,
although the
weather has been raining, gene ttfOtteluz to leave their
names. They represent " the King" to be (ruing on in a
most favourable way, and that in eight days he will be able
to sign documents. The old Queen heard of the accident
on Monday morning, and went to Quetta. Some say that
she is to he named at the head of the Regency. •:'
I have been assured by several persons au credit that
they believe the state of Don Miguel; nott,to be as yet near
no precarious as his opponents wi4f to represent it.
a" Aparelho Gmtentivo," which is translavd in the for-
mer letter as " a soothing bandage," means, as I have in-
quired from a medical practitioner, any apparatus calculated
to support the broken limb—he thinks that splinters were
used on this occasion. a

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 18:?6.

SUN-OFFICE, Three o' Chu h.

His MAJESTY held a Court yesterday at
Windsor, at which the Recorder made his
report ; but, strange to say, the names of
those doomed to die have not yet been
published. The apprehension and anxiety in
Newgate may therefore be more easily imagined
than described. There are forty-nine • under
sentence of death !

The French Papers of Saturday, and the
Gazette de France of Sunday's date, have been
received.. Their content% do not possess-any par-
ticular importance. An 'article, dated Semlin,
says that the Capitan PACHA had arrived at the
Camp of the Grand Vizier, after which he im-
mediately set out for Adrianople. Apprehen-
sions were entertained by his friends that he
would be brought to a court martial, and share
the fate of the Governor of Brailow, who was
first said to have been beheaded, but it subse-
quently appeared that he was only banished. We
think the SULTAN has too much good sense to
sacrifice such a man as the Capitan PACHA, who
defended Varna to the last extremity. Any
further resistance could only have involved the
whole garrison in ruin. The SULTAN can-
not hope for impossibilities, even from the
bravest of his Generals—and if he find
such men as the Capitan PACHA to defend
his fortresses, it will be a long time before the
Russians affect the stability of his throne. The
rumour that JUSSUF PACHA had surrendered
Varna is againlevived, bat it is unworthy of any
serious notice. A General who had defended a
fortress for upwards. of three months, was not
likely to sell his honour and property for a bribe,
at the very moment when the fortress was re-
duced to the last stage of inefficiency.
The French people are naturally much pleased
at the success of their arms in the Morca. A
letter from an Officer, who was present at the
captUre of the Castle of the Mores, represents
th
taffair as one of' singular interest to all con-
cerned. The fort is situated at the entrance of
the Gulf of Lepanto, on a tongue of land forming
a triangle. It is distant from the fort of Rou-
melia about one thousand toises, the breadth of
the Strait at that point. The Turks call this
spot the little Dardanelles. The Castle of the
Morea consists of 'Several old towers, to which
some- half-moons and bastions have been added.
They are well and solidly built ; the casements
are good and proper for defence. The Turkish
hundred men,

During the cannonade, the Castle of Roumelia,
the towers,. and all the minarets of Lepanto,
were covered with Musselmans, who w were
able to appreciate the vigour of an attack exe-
cuted by French soldiers, under French officers.
The sight must have been altogether highly
picturesque. Had the French artillery been at
Varna, Silistria, or even Shumla, we should long
ago have heard a different account of their sup-
pOsed impregnability.
The Courier-Francais of Saturday observes,
that M: de VILLENEUVE has just signalised his
entrance. into the Direction of the Posts by a
wise tneaspre. The letters for foreign countries,
which were only received till two o'clock, will
now be received till four. What reason, indeed,
Could there have been for having them put in
before, except to examine their contents? M,VIL-
LENEUVr. has thus manifested correct intentions,
which were not to be discovered in his prede.

censor, M. VAut.antri."—'The French Post-
office has proverbially been notorious for its
abuse of public confidence, by opening letters.

By news received from Lisbon this morning,
it will be seen. that Don MIGUEL, had a very
narrow escape of breaking his neck in one of his
absolute rides. As it is, he broke his thigh, and
endangered the life of both his sisters, who ac-
companied him i❑ his phaeton. It seems that
the Don had two mules on the occasion whose
colour was too constitutional for his nerves, and
as he was venting his spleen upon his supposed
enemies, they took it in high dudgeon end
proved their patriotism by an open fling of rebel-
lion, which threw the Don and his sisters from
their high estate—and there they lay. The
causes of this disaster are variously represented
—some will have it that the mules saw the
shadow of coming events, and were naturally
ambitious of anticipating a day of so much re-
joicing for their native country—while others say
that the vivas of certain loyal people were so ob-
noxious to the mules, that in very spite they
galloped off from the scene of vulgarity, not
wishing their master, to be a GiESAIt with a
rabble at his heels. The next accounts from
Portugal are looked for with interest, as it is
hoped this unexpected fall is but the precursor of
one more conclusive.

An article from Trieste states that a company
in that place is going to establish a communica-
tion by steam with Alexandria. The only
wonder is that such' an obvious improvement
should have been so long delayed. It is fre-
quently two months before we receive news from
Egypt—whereas, by the intervention of steam,
intelligence might come in three weeks or less.

It is just as we stated yesterday,—the failure
of Messrs. FRY and CHAPMAN is almost for-
gotten already. The hoped for panic has blown
over, and public confidence is as calm as if no
breath of suspicion had -rippled the waters of
commercial security. The general wonder now is
not that the failure has occurred, but that it had
not taken place long ago. The house of FRY
and Ci4APMAN was never considered as a legiti-
mate banking establishment, it being connected
with the tea-trade, and raised into feverish no-
toriety by the Joint Stock Speculations of 1825-6.
All the Country Banks corresponding with the
above house were able to avert any danger which
might affect their credit in. London, by getting
their agency taken up at once by respectable
houses. Messrs. A SHBY of Staines, the nearest
country firm to London, were prompt in trans-
ferring their agency to the highly respectable
house of WILLIAMS, DEACON, and Co., Bir-
chin-lane.

The number of country banks connected with
FRY and CHAPMAN was said to be twenty-
five—but many of these are branches of the
others, so that the total of country banking firms
does not exceed twelve of thirteen. A large
quantity of gold left town last night to meet any
emergency in the country.

According to an article from Bucharest in a
German Paper, received this morning, the chief
part of the Russian army before Shumla has
marched to reinforce the besiegers of Silistria,
so that we may daily expect to hear of the sur-
render or capture of that important fortress. In
the mean time the Russians are busy in strength-
ening the works of Varna..

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwEr.vE o'CLocr.

The agitation and alarm occasioned by the failure
of Messrs: Fry and Chapman in the City has, in a
great measure, blown over, and every thing wears
the appearance of renewed confidence and trust : in
fact it is confidently stated that the debts 4 the
house are by no means to the extent that was at
first surmised, and as we understand their principal
country correspondence has been taken up by two or
three of the first houses, the injury which might have
been done in any other case will now be obviated.
The actual business in the English Funds has been
limited to-day, and chiefly confined to closing ac-
counts for the settlement on Thursday. Consols
opened at 86 both for money and time, and have
since improved to 861, buyers, and 86,1 for January;
the Commissioners paid 861. India Bonds are 50
2 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 51 53 pm.
The transactions in the Foreign Funds have been
trivial, scarcely a single bargain has been done all
day ; Brazilian Bonds are a shade lower, 621 63 ;
the same may be stated in Buenos Ayres, 461 71; in
Portuguese there has been no variation, 53i 41.
The intelligence of the accident which has befallen
Don Miguel has had no effect, the only regret that
has been expressed is that it vas not more effectual
in ridding the world of such a scourge; Russian
Stock, 944
Shares are in a complete state of stagnation, and
no business doing. From Fayal, letters of the 7th
of November notice the arrival of the Brazilian
frigate Isabella, from Terceira, on the 30th of Oct.,
but give no furtherl information of the state of affairs
in that quarter.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols are now 864 for account, and the market
continues without any-important transactions. The
money market begins to look a little more cheerful.
Exchequer Bills are again on the advance, and from
48, the heaviest price of the day, are now 55 pm.

THE RECORWEIC's REPORT.

It now turns out that the Report made to his Majesty
yesterday only related to the convicts in the September
Sessions. Huntou's conviction took place in the October.
Sessions—and his case did not therefore come under consi-
deration. The following are left for execution :—Thomas
Higgins, for cutting and maiming; James Harpure, house-
breaking ; Peter Fenn, forgery.
The sentence of the others is commuted to transportation
for life.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

IN THE MATTER OF ROPER, A BANKRUPT.
Mr. Mortacu stated that this was the petition of Phi-
lip Henry Roper, praying that the time for his surrender-
ing under the commission that had been taken out against
him might be enlarged for three months, and that the sig.
nature of Geo. Williams might be considered as the signa-
ture of the petitioner.
His LORDSHIP, after hearing the ease, which WM com-
paratively unimportant, granted a fortnight's enlargement
of the time, and directed that Mr. Sugden's clients should
have their costs.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
POWFL V. ROBINSON.- JUDGMENT.

His HONOUR on taking his seat this morning asked Mr.
Garratt, one of the Counsel in this cause, what was the
amount of the funds in Court; he wished to know this be-
fore he gave judgment.
Mr. anattATT—Oh, the whole amount, your Honour,
is only 3701.
His HONOUR then, after arranging his papers, went into
the particulars of this (as he designated it) unfortunate and
complicated case. It was a Bill filed by the plaintiff to
recover the amount of an annuity of 501. per year, which
had been bequeathed to him in 1812, and which was re-
gularly paid for some time, but on .account of the death of
some of the parties, and other difficulties arising it was
discontinued, and the only remedy he had was by filing
' a hill in this Court, and to enable him to do so with
success he was obliged to bring no less a number than
twenty individuals before the Court in the charac-
ter of defendants. The case now came on for judg-
ment on further directions and costs, when his Honour,
after going at great length into the particulars, ordered
the receiver who had been appointed to continue, and to
pay the annuity ; but as the defendants had all of them
(with the exception of four) been properly brought before
the Court, and as there could be no blame attached to
their conduct, the plaintiff in the first instance must pay
their costs. He would, however, direct the receiver to
appropriate part of the funds that might come into his
possession, to be paid to the plaintiff in liquidation of the
costs, which in the first instance he must pay.
A long conversation ensued between Counsel, as to the
mode in which the decree of the Court must be drawn up,
so as to protect the different interests of all the parties.
His HONOUR seeing that there was no probability of
Counsel settling it between themselves, said he would draw
up the minutes himself.
Mr. KNIGHT was much obliged to his Honour, for it
really seemed as if some Learned Gentlemen were deter-
mined, if possible, to make this unlucky case more com-
plicated than it really was.
