When a boy of 14 years of age, I saw a
piece in a newspaper, giving an account of a gentleman's
finding a land tortoise, marked with what he supposed to
be the initials of some person's none, with the date of the
year when marked, which, compared with that period,
made the tortoise forty years old. Being soon after in the
meadow of my father, I found one, which then appeared
to be of-full growth —I marked my name at full length,
with the day of the month and ye.ir, which was the 13th of
May, 1797, which makes 32 years ago last May. Yes-
terday, my men, while mowing in a meadow, not over
three-quarters of a mile from the place where I marked him
this ty-two years ago, found the same tortoise. I examined
him, and know, from the letters and figures, to be the same
one—Milan, July 31, 1829.—Dutchess Observer.

There is now something like a prospect of
matters being brought to a close between Messrs. CA NN
and POLKINHORN, the rival champions of the wrestling
ring—the latter having sent a challenge to ABRAHAM, to
wrestle with him in London, any day after the 20th of
October, for 2001. It is said, also, that Roose is on the
witty, ready to meet the Devonshire champion. ARRA..
HAM has never yet shewn the wl,ite feather, and we hope
he will be ready, at a proper season, to prove that he can
face a black one.—Exeter Alfred.
MADAME CATALANI.--When Madame
CATA lANI was in Glasgow, about five years ago, accom
panied by her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Benvoap, 84c. she
sent a polite note to a literary gentleman to whom she
had been introduced, and requested his advice in pronounc-
ing a Scotch song. She rehearsed the ballad, " Scots %ilia
hae wi' Wallace bled," with tolerable correctness, till she
arrived at the last line, which she pronounced " Let us do
or die." "Die, Madam," said the gentleman, "you must
sing dee." " Dee ! vat is dat ?" responded the Signora.
" Oh, that is the Scottish pronunciation of die ; they will
never tolerate any other." "Ah ! and am Ito learn le bar.
bire Scoss, after I learn le barhare Anglaise ?" She did,
however, and drew down repeated encores.
A WELSH RABBlT.—Colonel A— bait-
ing for the first time in his life at a Welsh inn, thought he
would order for his dinner, a dish which must be perfection
in its own country, viz. a Welsh rabbit. The dinner hour
arrived, and the Colonel lifting up the cover of the dish next
him, exclaimed in angry astonishnient to the waiter, upon
beholding a large, dry-looking, fleshy animal before him.
" Whit the d—l d'ye call this, a Welsh rabbit ?" " Why,
noo, noo, Sir !" replied the man, perfectly cool, and un-
conscious of the error, " Noo, it certainly an'.t exactly a
Welsh rabbit; but 'tis a Monmouthshire one!"—.2lfirror.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREE P.
INQUIRY RESPECTING THE DEATH OF MRS PHILLIPS AT

FINCHLEY.

This morning being appointed for an inquiry into this
somewhat mysterious case, the office was considerahl)
crowded, and the Magistrates, Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr.
HALLS, proceeded in their investigation in the front room.
The public were admitted. Mr. Adolphus attended on
behalf of the Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish
of Finchley, and Mr. C. Phillips on behalf of Mr. Phil-
lips, husband of the deceased. The parish authorities of
Finchley, Mr. Snow, the chymist, Mr. Phillips, and a
great number of witnesses, were in attendance,
Mr. Adolphus, after stating that the deceased lady had
died, and a Coroner's Inquest had been held on the body,
said that the Jury bad returned a verdict that she came to
her death from taking too great a quantity of laudanum.
The circumstances which had transpired had created a
very considerable sensation among the neighbours of the
deceased and the public of Finchley, and cup Church-
wardens felt themselves bound tc, t 4 0.11.t4 affair, and to
institute a striqq inquiry into the transaction than had
taken place.
Mr. C. Phillips—Then Sir Richard, I submit that any
information, if oat taken on oath, would have the effect
of prejudicing the character of a person who may other-
wise have an opportunity of clearing himself. The Ma-
gistrate may determine that the information adduced will
not warrant any further investigation, if, therefore, such
information be received it ought to he taken in private, if
not given on oath,

HALLS remarked, that as the Reporters were pre-
sent, it might be advisable that nothing transpired that
was not on oath.

Mr. C. Phillips said, that was objoot,
Mr. Phillips had no objection to such a course in public
and
_if any twin was bilhi enough to make any charge
against him, he would not shrink from it.
Sir R, BIRNIE observed that nothing of the kind had
been intimated by Mr. Adolphus.
Mr. C. Phillips—But he stated, that Mr. Phillips had
declined having his domestics examined before a private
tribunal. Mr. Phillips has no objection to any examina-
tion an 0411 in poldic before Sir ft. Birnie.

Mr. Adolph:l;3 said that he had made no charge against
any one. He only said that Mr. Snow was far above the
imputations which had been cast upon him. He had
heard, that unless a charge was made the Magistrate had
no power to take evidence on the subject t, even on oath,
and he therefore thought it tight, in the first instance, to
l; now whether the investigation would be held without
any charge,
Mr. HALLS said, the Magistrates did not call in ques-
tion the verdict of the Coroner's jury, but he thought
they were then situated as if no inquest bad taken place.
If any subsequent evidence wa; brought forward they
were ready to bear it, but not upon oath, unless a charge
was mad:

Air. C. Phillips—l wish to know if there is any charge;
if not, no evidence on oath can be taken.
Mr. Adolphus said that he was not instructed to make
any charge against Mr. Phillips,

. -
Sir R. Bitttil 44 that there must be a charge, or
evidpne un oath could not be taken. If it was advisable
to take information not on oath, it should be in private.
He asked Mr. Adolphus if he had any evidence prepared,
and reduced to writing.—Mr. Adolphus replied that Le had
had none, except the instructions in his brief.

Mr. Phillips asked when the inquest took place, and was
answered that it was early hi September. He then re-
winked that there must have been time sufficient to have
prepared written information.

- Mr. Adolphus replied that there certainly had been, if
witnesses had not been kept out of the way, and had not
promised to attend, and broken their promises. He wished
to know why Mr. C. Phillips attended on behalf of Mr,
Phillips. Why did the latter gentleman consider that it
was more ne;e&sary for him to appear by Counsel than any
other person?

111 C. Phillips—lt would have been extraordinary
indeed if Mr. Phillips had not employed Counsel, when
the inquiry related to his own deceased wife, and when the
Press had so calumniated him,

Mr. Adolphus had oxen no calumnies ; and even if he
had, no one could be accountable for what appeared in
the Newspapers : since the latter broke, in 1774, the
standing orders of Parliament, by intrepidly publishing the
debates, it was extremely difficult to establish any rule as
to what they ought to be allowed to publish.
Sir R. BilcNtp observed, that although it appeared
something bad transpired in the papers, yet, that was no
rea•ou why the magistrates should not pursue their usual
course. He was fond of reading the newspapers, but he
had seen no such insinuations.

Mr. C. Phillip—lt was stated in the papers of this
morning, that Mr. Phillips had refused to have his house-
hohl examined.

Mr. Adolphus observed that that was a fact, and not
an insinuation. If the magistrates, however, did not think
it adviseable to take the evidence offered on oath, it would
be for the churchwardens to consult as to whether they
would prefer a written information, which might warrant
the magistrates in receiving any evidence, on oath, if they
thought a charge could be sustained.
Sir R. BIRNIE remarked, that summoning SO witnesses
was not the way to get through business. It would be
better to produce a few leading ones at first.
Mr. C. Phillips—At any time you wish Sir Richard,
every member of Mr. Phillips's household shall appear be-
fore you.

Sir R. BIRNIE felt some desire that the slur upon Mr.
Snow, if unmerited, should be removed.

Mr. C. Phillips said, that no slur had been thrown upon
him by Mr. Phillips.
Mr. Adolphus said that there had been a slur thrown
upon Mr. Snow by Mr. Phillips at the inquest. He knew
who it was that had marshalled the witnesses upon that
occasion.

Mr. C. Phillips—lt was the duty of the husband to
have the fullest investigation into the causes of the death of
his wife.

Mr. Adolphus—Oh yes.
Sir R. BIRNIE strongly advised both parties to look
round the room, which was something like the black hole
at CAlcutta, and expressed a hope that they would not
overpower him with 80 witnesses. •

Mr. Snow here attempted to speak, hut the Counsel on
both sides prevented him, as well as Mr. Phillips, from
interfering, though with great difficulty.
It was then arranged that Mr. Adolphus should apply
again to the Magistrates to appoint a day for receiving the
written informations, and that notice should be given of
such appointment to the Solicitor of Mr. Phillips.
The parties then retired.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

Our supplies of all kinds of Grain and Flour are small
this week. The best desci iptions of Wheat alone support
Monday's terms, all other sorts, and damp samples, meet
scarcely any demand, even at lower terms. In Barley,
Beans, Pease, and Oats, we haVe very little doing, at the
quotation of last day. Flour is very dull in disposal.
