ANEDOTE.--The conversation on board a ship
where a party of Gentlemm were di in lately, turning on the
native wit of the Irish, the Captain.remarked he had on board
an uneducat?d fellow of infinite humour," who, strange to
say, denied Leiug an Irishman, though he had the brogue
strongly. A young son of Erin who was present, expressed a
wish to see the humourist, and said
.should be convinced by
one word whether they were countrymen or not. The party
adjourned to the deck, where stood Paddy, washing
.potatoes.
" And how .do you call those things,, now ?" eXclarined the
young Hibernian. " Plase your honour," said Padds (shrewd-
ly perceiving the drift of the query), " wY 4va't call 'em ; we,

ACCOUNTS OF THE SHIP !PARTRIDGE, FROM
CALCUTTA, SUPPOSED -ATALIDRAS TO HAVE
BEEN LOST.

[From a Calcutta Journal of Feb. 4.]

The Supplements of the Madras Courier. of the 16th, 17th,
and 18th instant, came in yesterday. They are filled with the
Examinations of the, WitnessesagainSt the Queen, but do not
include a line beyond the Evidence
_already published in our
columns. They announce the arrival of the Free Trader, Swal-
low, at Point de Calle, from London,. the 29th of August, and
Madeira the 18th of September, boundto Bombay ; passenger,
Capt. Aubrey, of the Madras Array. The ship Friendship
had arrived at Galle from the Matcritius, and the Salimany had
passed that port on the 24th of December, from China to Bom-
bay. An express had reached the Madfas Post-office on the
18th of January, from Cananore,sin the opposite coast, an-
nouncing the arrival of the'ruissing ship Partridge at that place
on the 13th, and forwarding to. Madras the packets sent by her
from Calcutta: No particulars were stated as 'to the cause of
the Partridge making her appearance in this unexpected quar-
ter, but it is said that she had got upon some shoal to the north-
ward, which compelled her to go round to Bombay. It will be
remembered, that from the extraordinary voyage made by the
Partridge from London out to Calcutta, her excellent qualities
as a fast sailer, and her superior accommodations, she was
thought to present the mosteligiVle^oppoitimiy that could of-
fer, either for letters or passengers to England.. The disap-
pointment thus' occasioned by her delay will be very generally
felt. The accidents that have occurred in the detention of
packets sent by tile Essex, the Pilot, the Vittoria, and the Par-
tridge, all of which have been obliged to.be transferred to other
ships, within the last six months, are serious evils to the mer-
cantile coeamunity, and to all clasSes indeed in India, to whom
the regularity and speed of corresiiinderice is necessarily of an
importance proportioned to their distance from home, and to
the long delay that takes place before they can hear from their
friends, in answer to letters from this country, under the most
favourable circumstances.
At a late hour yesterday, when the last sheet of this Sunday
Number was nearly ready for the press, a Gentleman handed
to us a letter from one of the passengers on boar,: the Partridge,
addressed to his friend in Calcutta. It_ is -dated. Cananore, the
13th of January, and we have permisslon to make use of it.—
The Partridge left the pilot on the 27th of December, with the
intention of calling at Bimlipatam for a passenger, and the
writer, in speaking of their touching at this place, proceeds as

EPITAPH ON A lILTNTSMAN,
Who died aged Seventy-two Years.
Reader ! behold a genuine son of earth,
Like a true foxhound—Sportsman from his birth ;
O'er hills and dales, o'er mountairs, woods, and rocks,
'With dauntless courage he pursed the fox ;
No danger stopp'd him—and no fear dismay'd—
He scoff'd at fear—and danger was his trade :
But—there's a bound no mortal can o'er-leap—
Wide as eternity—as high—as.deep
Hither, by Death's unerring step pursu'd,
By that sagacious scent which none elude;
By a strong pack of fleetest years run down,
lie left his `Vier--where MeniAnois leave their CROWN.

THE WEATHER.

Extract from a METEOROrOGICAL Jount.t.tt. for NoViir-
BER, 1821, kept at the OBSERVATORY of the ACADE3II4
GOSPORT.
" This month has been very wet and windy ; and the tem- .
perature of- the air high for the season. In the course of the
month rather more than 5 inches of rain fell here: a depth un-
precedented in any monthly period durine the last seven years,
and of which about 4 inches were received in the pluviameter
in five days, namely, on the 3d, 0-63 inch, 11th, 1-42 inch,
16th, 0-90 inch, 17th, 0.74 inch, and on the 30th, 0-30 inch.
So copious and frequent have the rains been since the autumnal
equinox, particularly in the western parts of the country, that
the lowest lands have long lain under water. It has rained,
more or less:, on 23 days (or ten whole days and nights) this
month ; and the strong southerly and south-westerly gales
with which it has been accompanied have had their usual ef-
fees Upon houses, trees, and shipping.
To show the perturbed state of the air, it is only necessary
to tiintion that the barOmeter has undergone 29 charges in.3o
days ; and the number of gales, or days on wWch they have
prevailed, is as follows :-1 from SE. 5 from S. 12 from S.W.
2•from W. and 1 from N. W'. ; so that 21 days have presented
a Melancholy aspect of the Weather.
The mean temperature of the air is V. deg. higher than the
averae temperature of November for the last 7 years ; and
having had but. two slight frosts this mouth, the temperature
dfx spring water falls very slowly.
" The atmospheric and meteoric phenotrena that have come
Within our observation this month, are 1 anthelion, 1 pailtelloa, •
1 paeaselene, 5 solar, and 4 lunar halos, k!., inet-zors, 2 perl4:
rainhonie, lightninge2, thunder 1, • and 21 gales of wind.
'.The planet Venus may now be seen with the naked eye,
711.17 afternoons, a few minutes after three o'clock, when on
or near the meridian. She was so conspicuous, last Thnrslay, ,
th 4 29th of November, at three p.rt. -as to be measured with a
sextant, when her thatance from the sun's centre was found to
,be 43 kiek 10 min., and she will not arrive at her greate3t
elongation before Christmas Day."

NEWCASTLE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.

At the monthly meeting of the Society. on
Tuesday the 4th instant, a letter was read from -THoMAS
COATES, Esq. stating some curious particulars respecting the
disinterment of the Mummy, and correcting a mistake which
had crept into the papers, of its having been taken out of the
Royal tomb, at Thebes. In the course of th is com mu n ication, which
Was a very interesting one, Mr. Coates pointed out several
particulars in. regard to the size and configuration of the
skeletons found in -those ancient sepulchres, which would
seem to indicate the Egyptians to have been a people of Indian,
not of Ethiopian, origin, as has been alleged by, some late writers.
—ln the course of the evening Dr. Clamiy, of Sunderland, pre-
sented to the society the oriinal safety lamp, with which he maee
his experiments in the coal mines. Now, when the party spirit
which blinded the-.discretion of the several gentlemen engaged
in the controversy respecting the safety lamp litt.a subsided.; it
gill not be denied that Dr. Clanny was the first to direct the at—
tention- of the-philosopher, and the owners of coal mines, to the
consideration of the important subject of providing a light to -
the laborious miner, adequate to the purposes of his- occupa-
tion, unattended by the dreadful consequences which have too
often taken place, by the hitherto unavoidable use of 'candles-
Although lir. nanny's first ant was not exactly • such a.
lamp as the miner could make use of without assistance,
it clearly proved the possibility of providing a light which
might be used itithout danger of exploding the gas that
might be accumulated ; and so confident-was he of the.safety
of the principle upon which it was constructed, that he many*
times ventured his life in situations in the mine, when, under
ordinary circumstances, explosion must have taken place,. in
order to satisfy those for whose benefit he was labouring.that
no selfish motive -operated on his mind, but-that he was actuat-
ed only by an ardent desire to prevent or less2n.the dangers
to which they were, from the nature of their eniployment, un-
avoidably exposed. It is not our intention, and we are sure it
is not the wish of Dr. Clanny, to detract from the brilliant dis-
covery of Sir Humphry Davy, .or the w€ll-earned reputation
of Mr. George Stevenson ; yet it is but justice to state, that'
his exertions on behalf of the' n'finers, and in the cause ofliu-
manity, gave the first impulse to that inquiry which has
been attended with such extraordinary and happy . effects.—
We were much pleased to observe that a greeter nut-alp:x.of
members were ballotted for than at any meeting for many years
past, and also a numerous list of candidates for admission. We
rNnrd this as a gratifying 19roof of the past' usefulness cf this
valuable institution, as well as, of the now rapidly increasing
importance which it is acquiring in the estimation at the public,

EXPERIMENTS OF 111: YELIN ON Et.F.crrao-
MSGNETtsm.—M. Le Chevalier Yelin, a learned
Bavarian, discovered sometime ago that needles
of steel become magnetic when • placed in a glass
tube .SurrOunded with a metallic spiral, and when
electrical sparks, or the charge of a Leyden bat-
tery, were transmitted along the spiral. When
the spiral was turned from left to right, and the
sparks taken. from the positive conductor, the
end of the needle which points to it becomes a
south pole, and the other the north pole, and
vice versa. If a third needle, reckoning from its
middle, is surrounded in a spiral manner with
waxed taffetas, then the poles appear at the
points where the spiral begins and ends. If, in-
stead of a spiral wire, a rod of metal is extended
along the glass tube, the steel needle placed
within becomes feebly magnetic after several
strong electrical discharges. The poles of a
magnetic needle were entirely reversed by, seve-
ral electrical discharges along the spiral.

opened at the Studii at Naples, containing a col-
lection of glass found amongst the ruins of Pom-

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,
October 20.

[MORNING POST.]
The object which Sir Robert Wilson's friends
have hitherto had in view, has been to make him
appear in the light of a person unjustly hated
and persecuted by Government on account of
the nature of his. politiOs. Now the gallant
Knight has fortunately, though we will not say
intentionally, supplied a complete refutatimi to
this unfounded calumny, by publishing the fol-
lowing- letter addressed to him in 1815 by the
Commander in Chief. It is impossible that the
most inveterate Radical, who still ‘,retains a
glimpse of reason, should not feel whilst perus-
ing this letter, that instead of hostility, the most
sincere respect and friendly disposition were en-
tertained by the Commander in Chief, by his Ma-
jesty and by his Majesty's Ministers,- towards
Sir Robert Wilson, as long as he behaved-as be-
came an Officer in the service of his King. If
any alteration has taken place in their sentiments,
this letter proves it to have been solely occasioned
by an alteration in his conduct. The publica-
tion of this document is therefore highly impor-
tant, and we insert it as the best answer 'which
can be given to the assertions of Sir Robert Wil-
son's friends, and to the insinuations of the gal-
lant Knight himself.

King rode his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum-
berland ; on the King's right hand the Duke of
Cambridge, and mills left the Archduke Ferdi-
nand. His Majesty wore the uniform of a Ha-
noverian Field-Marshal, with the insignia of the
Order of the Guelphs. Thesplendid procession,
incieased by a numerous suite of cavalry, passed
between the files of the citizens and then of the
military, through several streets to the palace of
the Duke of Cambridge, where his Majesty,. the
Royal Dukes, and the King's immediate attend-
ants, dismounted and entered.—The procession
and the guard of honour, composed of citizens on
horseback; halted in the streets, soon after the
citizens defiled, before the, palace in military ar-
ray ; when his Majesty appeared with the
Princes at the balcony, and acknowledged by re-
peatedly bowing to the joyful huzzas of the, peo-
ple. About 4 o'clock the procession put itself in
motion to return to Herrenhausen ; his Majesty
rode in a state carriage draiin by eight white
horses, and passing through several streets left
the city by the Cleve gate, to' return to llerren-
hausen ; another
.salute of artillery announced
his Majesty's departure.—ln the evening the city'
Was finely illuminated, transparencies and in-
scriptions were displayed on all sides, and' there
was not a single house unilluminated.• His Ma-
jesty, with the Princesses and thei Officers of his
Court, came to the city, and drove through the
streets to view the illumination. The Duke of
Cambridge rode-by the side. of the King's car-
riage. Wherever his Majesty passed he was re-
ceived with transport by the crowds who con-
linued to throng the streets till a late hour/
indulging in the happiness of having their Sove-
reign among them.—To-morrow his Majesty will
review
.the troops: that are stationed in the city
and the environs; on the' 15th, lfith, and-17th,
various evolutions will be executed by the troops
of all arms; -on the 19th will be the grand haul.'

SOUTHWARK SESSIONS,

Yesterday these Sessions commenced 'before the Right lion.
the LORD MAYOR., the COII4MON SERJEANT, the FilGll
BAIMIE, and Alderman J. J. Siiirrn.
DANGEROUS ASSAULT.—The first of the traverse cases
tried was -a chance made against a respectable looking man,
named Stephen Tidy-, for. having committed a violent and un-
provoked assault upon a married. female, named Margaret
Newton.

- The Prosecutrix is the wife of a builder in the Borough, and
on the night of the 13th of March was going down.the Eoroagh.
road upon some business, when she was attacked by the delta..
dant, who immediately hit her over the head with the lid of a
large 'Saucepan several times, and ultimately left- her on the
ground in a state, of insensibility.. lie was immediately taken
into custody by' some bystanders, who pursued him. She was
at that time about eight months advanced in pzegnancy; and
a premature labour followed the same night, in consequence
of the violence. .The child is imperfectly formed, and blind
of one eye, she judged in consequence of the violence she re.
ceived ; her temple, where she was struck, still bore the mark
of a most Violent blow.

The case having been established by evidence
Mr. BARRY addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant,
and pleaded, in mitigation, that he was intoxicated, and that he
now felt most poignantly for the injury he had inflicted in a fit
of drunken madness.

The COMMON SERJEANT said it was a case of such unpa=
rallelea brutality that had not the defendant had a large family
depending upon him for a lilielihood, the Court would have
thought themselves justified in sentencing him to be imprisoned
for 3 yearS ;' but in consideration of his subsequent contrition,
and other. circumstances which went in mitigation, they merely
sentenced him to be imprisoned for six months.
DARING BEGINNING OF A YOUNG THIEF.—)HREDERIG
CANNON, a lad of only hi years of age, was tried upon an in-
dietmerit, for having stolen 1,4,100 weight of Spanish tare, the
property of Mr. John GriffithS, of Fell-street, Wood-street.—
The Jury found the prisonet GLILTY'; and the Court sea-
tenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years.

THE ARMY.

(AFTER GARRISON ORDERS.)
" Plymouth-dock, Oct. 12.

• " Major-Geikeral Sir Dennis Pack was highly pleased with
the review, this morning, of the Ist Battalion of his Majesty'S
3d Regiment of Foot Guards. Much praise- is due to Colonel
Clitherow for the interest he has taken, and the pains he has
bestowed in the discipline of the battalion. The Officers and
non-commissioned officers are also entitled to credit fot their
attention to their duty ; and the drummers and privates, for
their general orderly and soldier-like conduct since they have
been in this garrison.
44 The Major-General feels happy in having it in Ms power
to report so Atvourably to his Royal Highness the Commander-
in-Chief, of their good order and appearance ; and he requests
Colonel Clitherow and the battalion will accept his thanks and
best • wishes."

DIVISION OF BATIIFORII24.7—(CitUtiOn to Militia hlen4:---
Yesterday, Oct, 18, James Healey was brought before Sir Ito-.
lIEItT BAKER, Bart., charged by Captain Bussell with having
neglected to attend, as a private militia-man, to be exercised
and trained according to the Act, at the city of,Wells, on the
18th of September, 1820. He was convicted of the Affmee, and
fined 201.; and, in default of payment, was committed to the
House of Correction 'to hard labour for six months. This man
went as a substitute, and received a bounty, for so doing ; and
we understand it is the determination of the regiment to make
examples of all persons 'oTending in this particular.—(Bath
Herald.)
Six troops, forming the Bath division of the North Somerset
Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Col. Horner, are to
assemble for 14 day's training and exercise, on their parade
grounds, on the 20th, inst. and 13 following days. There will
be a general field-day on the 23d inst. at 11 o'clock, at Keyn-
sham, when the six troops will be inspected by the Colonel.—.
(Ibid.)
_ _ _

,
We understand that the gallant 42d Regiment, at present in
garrison here, expects an immediate route for Waterford.—
trio direct communication to that effect has yet been received,
we, believe, by Colonel Dick ;. but arrangements have been
officially ordered for the reception of four companies of the 22d
Regiment, commanded by Sir Hugh Cuaugh, at the Barracks
here, on Thursday next. This is the oMy intimation yet re-
ceived of the intended removal of the 42d. The conduct of this
fine corps since its arrival here, has been such as to ensure the
warm and unqualified esteem of the inhabitants of Kilkenny.—
(Kilkenny Moderator.)
A party of the 40th regiment received orders on parade yes-
terday morning, in Limerick, to march for Newcastle, in that
county, &rumour being prevalei.tiliat the town had been, in
part, burned that morning by the country people.--(Clare

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
RE-EXAMINATION. OF MR BLOOMFIELo.—Mr. DAR-
3IER, on the case-being 'canal on, .said, that his- client, Mr.
:Shirley, found that he could not convict on the charge of re-,
'cetving money under false pretences, as he, before advancing
his money, had received the Bond of Mr.-Bloomfield and Mr.
Dunbar.

•
The Solicitor for: Mr. Rolfe, another claimant, applied to
have the case stand over for two days, as he had not been aware
of the time which it had taken, and was consequently unpre-,
pared to proceed.
The case was, after some further conversation, ordered to
stand till Wednesday next, when it will be finally disposed of.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
OUTRAGE IN CHARLES-ST RE ET.—The four prisoners
concerned in the above atrocious outrage were to have under-
gone a further examination yesterday at this office, before Mr.
MANwAin.mo, who despatched a messenger to Nliddlesex-
ho'spital, to ascertain the condition of Thayers, the wounded'
man. He returned with the following bulletin :
" James Thayers still continues too weak to bear removal
from the Hospital, though in other respects he is completely
recovered. " J. SWEET HAN, House-Surgeon.
" Middletex Hospital, Oct. 19,1821."
The prisoners were accordingly remanded. •

, - -
Yesterday ,morning, about eleven o'clock, the
inhabitants of Charles-street, Middlesex flos4
pital, were thrown into sudden alarm by the re-.
port of a loaded pistol having been fired through
the'shop door of Mr. Parker, a respectable gold-
smith,, residing at the corner of Beiner's-Street,
opposite the Hospital. The report was so loud
that several persons soon arrived on the spot,. to
know what mischief had occurred., On inquiry
at the shop of Mr. P., it was ascertained that
one of the Young men,while holding a pistol in hii
hand (not knowing it. was loaded with powder
acrd ball), it accidentally went off, when the con-
tents passed through the shop door, which was
principally glass, and shattered it to pieces. The
ball went .through the pannei., took a standing
direction across the road, and struck the brick
wall under the gateway of Suffolk Mews, ad-
joining the Spread Eagle public-house, where
it was found. At the same thne a number oir
persons were listening within a few yards of the
gateway, hearing a man play on hand bells, and
other individuals were also walking along the
street at the above moment, but very providen-
tially escaped without any injury.
