the advice of an invaluable friend, to which we can refer
in the hour of need, without any doubt of being benefitted
by its wisdom."—Literary Chronicle.

Mr. JoiiN STUTTER, of Bildeston-hall, and
Mr. TAYLOR, n blacksmith, at Elmswell, both in Suffolk,
who lost two horses in May last year, passed through this
town on Saturday, having recovered the animals at Win-
chester, a distance of nearly 250 miles. The informer in
this case is a person named WlLLiwar REED, who but a
short time since succeeded his father in a farming business
of 200 acres, at Bildeston, but who, after leading a disso-
lute life and getting into had company, was obliged to leave
that neighbourhood, and it is inferred, from the knowledge
hehaossessea of these depredations had formed some cennexions
with those who took away die horses. There is reason to
hope that the persons who actually :tole the horses will ere
long be brought to justice.--Essex Herald.
We have been favoured by the communication
of the following facts :—" A merchant just come from
New York assures us, that the export of silver thence to
England has occasioned the banks to reduce their die_
counts so extensively, that the brokers are literally asking
11 per cent: per month, or 18 per cent, per annum, for
the best bills. The pressure is so great, that in lately
making a large shipment of dollars to BAnaNa's house, the
United States Bank was obliged so ship them in the 'light
in order to prevent disturbance." Many of our most in-
telligent and able Members of Parliament have expressed
more surprise than we feel, at the amount of gold stated
by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to have been
issued by the Bank of England. The Directors may have
issued 22 or 24. millions. And they may have now, as
they allege in private, ten millions of sovereigns, which
they are desirous that the public should take. " That
commercial state, which possesses the greatest quantity of
commodities desirable to all men in civilized life, would, if
metallic circulation alone were enforced, soon acquire the
greatest portion of the precious metals. No man can say
What portion in that case would belong to Great Britain."
(Letter to Canning, p. 107.)—Few writers or public
speakers are aware of the magnitude and c )mprehensive-
ness of this question. No doubt we can obtain plenty of
the precious metals, if we pay the penalty to procure them.
But that penalty will not he for ninny years confined to
the losses of the agricultural interest. There being in
England (according to Mr. Jacoa) but one-tenth of the
store of corn that there was in the year 1816, is a fact, that
one would think would awaken the attentiostof Government,
and cause an immediate investigation into the state of the
currency, to the changes in which the defalcation in the
store of cern must be mainly ascribed.—Exeter Alfred.

SOLITARY WALKS THROUGH MAICV LAD4I;:-.

2ST DERWENT coNwft T. LONDON, 1828.

There is much amusement in these little volumes,
which give an entertaining sketchy account
of pe-
destrian excursions, undertaken partly from inclina-
tion, partly from motives of business, over most parts
of the Continent. Mr. Conway describes theim-
pressions made on him by the characteristic pecu-
liarities of the numerous countries through wihich he
passed, with intelligence and vivacity. Among these
descriptions we would single out his sketches :0' the
Netherlands ; though slig-ht and une,onneetecl, khey-
display familiar acquaintance with the dismal., dr the
people and the character of `he scenery. The pre-
ference, however, given to the ocen.
over that of the Rhine, is, we thick:, L.-nom to be ad-
mired for its singularity than its sottnisin.,'ss of taste.
There are numerous little tales mixed up wit. II lbese,
noof

Stricken
Monmouthshire,la t er'i's
sketches; one of which, entitled " The Conic lAnc;;.„
related
and the
scenew•ith
pathos.. But the gem of the work is evidently ti -
following anecdote, which the husband of the lady tt
whom the catastrophe occurred, is supposed to send
in a
letter to soma friend. The idea is taken from
an incident of nearly the same nature, related in one
of the earlier numbers of Blackwood:—
" NICE, SEPT. 1826.—1 thank God, that before I fol
low Agnes, reason has been restored to me, that I ma
leave a brief record of that awful event which I alone wi
nessed.

" Every etching totverds sunset, I walked with Agnes
on the sea-beach. This 'WAN one of out greatest enjoy-
ments; it was then we spoke of the past, and planned
for the future, and together, admired the scene around,
and the beautiful summer sea that swelled before us. There
is a ridge of low rocks that stretches in a curve into the
sea, forming within it a stttall, calm bay. We often walked
to the extremity of these rocks; at length, habit led us
thither every evening. On the last afternoon of our in-

tended sojourn in Nice, we walked out as usual, and in
the sane direction, We talked IA out )(lunacy on the
mortOW, and of out return home; awl while tee spoke of
the many happy hours we had spent on this beautiful
shore, we had insensibly turned upon the ridge of rocks.
Not this evening,' Agnes said, let us go rather through
the citron Wood," Let tts first,' said I, take a fare-
well of our tinjsen resort.' We went onward, remarking
that we had never seen the Mediterranean so perfectly
realize our early impressions of it,—so calm—so lovely.
As we proceeded, we separated ; for towards the extremity
the ledge next the water is narrow. ' Agnes,' said I, as
I walked on first, ' step carefully;' statue had I spoken
the woids, when a piercing shrick, and a plUnge-—reason
is again leaving me; merciful God ! preserve it to me yet
a little while---1 turned only in time to see her sink,
with outstretched arms, beneath the water that calmly
closed above her. I haw her, for the *ale was clear as
crystal ; I saw her as if standing ; I knew her faue.s-trly
Agnes' face !—and her arms were stretched towards me ;

btrt the sea-weed was tangled round her, and held her—
and her foriti waved slowly to and 'fro. Ood Of heaven—
what a sight ! the clearness of the water mocteci use; I
thought I could reach her, and I stretched my arm to-
wards her, but I was deceived ; she seemed to look re-
proachfully at me; and agahi, st•ith extended arms, ap-
peared to implore ine, her husband, to at het'. I cried,
in the agony of despair, for help ; but the sound was con-
vulsed in the throat, and would riot come forth. 'lf I

cannot save thee, I will Perish With thee !' and frbtn that
moment I but remember the plunge, and that I retained
sense long enough to know, that I clasped my wife in my
arms beneath the water. This is all lam able to record ;

I was rescued from the waves ; how, I know not ; bu
when I awoke to life. Agnes was not with me."

GUILDHALL—Hant s-. HAnt.--this was a Seedfid
appeal from the Court of Hymen to a Ceurt of Justice,
instituted by Mrs. Mary Hart, a remarkably neat little
laundress of forty-five, against her lord and master, Mr.
James Ilart—a sexagenarian coal-porter; tall, gaunt,
black, and bony ; a round-shouldered two-eyed Pelypheme,
with a neck like a bundle of dirty red ropes springing out
of a furze bush, and a voice like the under growl of a bear.
Mrs. Hart told a long and melancholy story of her
matrimonial miseries; from which we gathered that five-
and-twenty years ago she married the brute Whose name
she bears; and that she " has been blessed with many
children by him "—to wit, thirteen ; five only of whom
are living. But notwithstanding all these " pledges of
love," she has " lived the life of a toad under a
harrow," from the very day on which the coal-porter
led her, a blushing bride, to the hymeneal altar, even
until the date of these presents; when, through his idle and
dissolute habits, she has almost" worked herself into her
grave," by labouring as a laundress to obtain food, rent,
and raiment for herself and children. " For these last 18
months," said she, " he has not given me one sixpence
towards their support; but whatever he earns he spends
upon himself in drink, and only comes home to cat and
to abuse me."

Here Mrs. Hart was so overoo:ne by her recollections
that. her tears choked her utterance; and Mr. Alderman
Vzicaar,Es (the Sitting Magistrate) took that opportunity
to ask her, " whether her husband had beat her !"
" No, Sir," she replied, " he does not beat me, because
he is under his own recognizance to keep the peace towards
me; but he pulls me about the house by my arms, until
he almost pulls them out of their sockets !" and then she
went on to describe what she seemed to consider a far
greater grievance, viz., pulling her irons out of the fire,
and throwing them about the house ; poking the fire out
of her grate; deluging her with a tub of soap-muds ; and
finally, seizing a gentleman's shirt, which she was ironing,
and mercilessly " sousing it in the slop."
The ALDR R maw told her he would take care that she was
protected from further violence ; and he then asked Mr.
Hart what he had to say why he should not be held to bail
in increased securities.

" Why, I've this ere to say," growled Mr. Hart—twist-
ing the quid out of the slavering pouch of kis banging
nether lip, up to the further corner of his mouth, and there
tucking it in between the yellow stumps with the tip of his
tongue—" Why I've this ere to say—that she's swore as false
—aye as false as ever any woman swore ;—and every body
knows they'll swear anny thin ! I did souse a gentleman's
shirt in the ilOp—that's true; hut it were becoz she
wouldn't wash mine! And as to the tub of soapsuds she
says I Aing'd over her—its a lie for the tub tumbled out
o'my hand accidentically as I were a washin my own shirt
myself. She says, I don't do nothin for the children; but
I say I bought vittle for 'rn o' Monday mornin—ate seven-
pence I giv her o' th' Satulday afore. But its o' no use
talkin ;—go whoam when I will, instid o' givin me my
brekfust, or my dinner, or what not, she claps her fistes in
my face and calls me an old rogue ;—and she's been at me ,
these two months to get me to wollup her, o' purpose
to get me lock'd up—becoz her relations ern better off
nor me and now she's had the best o' me all my life, she
wants to put me clean out o' the way for good and all ;
that's what it is."
Unfortunately for Mr. Hart, however, it was proved by
credible witnesses that his wife was " a civil, quiet, indus-
trious, pains-taking woman ;" and that he was "an idle,
drunken, disortiedy man ;" and therefore, the Alderman
directed that he should find good and sufficient bail for his
better behaviour in future; which lie 'n%as not prepared to
do, and consequently he was "quodded."

A cucumber Was gathered at Miss MASON'S,
Edge-hill, on Thursday last, measuring in length nineteen
inches, in circumference eight inches, and weighing one
pound and three quarters.—Liverpool Albion.
On Thursday, the sth current, a melancholy
accident happened in West Tarbert Loch by the upsetting
of a boat. DUNCAN 3PLEAsr, smith, Cf. mlasade, sent
Joriat APKELLA a, a ysning man lately married, and his
own journeyman—a young man of the name of ALEXAN-
DER APDONALD, from Cruach, near Bowmore, Islay—to
bring some iron fi om West Tarbert in a small boat. On
their way home they found they had rather overloaded the
boat, and in going round Ardpatrick Point, they set sail to
quicken their speed, when the boat, having too much top
weight, immediately swamped, and the four men perished.
The boat was found the second day ; but the bodies of the
four unfortunate men have not as set been discovered.—
Edinburgh Courant.
