TO LEITH.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-LANCASTER, SEPT. 8.

On the 12th of February, the Louisa, .Mackie,
of Leith, arrived at Calcutta, and the cargo was
soon disposed of in the usual way. Some time
previous, the accounts of the reaction in the trade
of this country had arrived, and the disastrous
consequences excited some uneasiness, and were
even slightly felt in that remote quarter of the
globe. Freights were lower than they had been
for a considerable period. For hard goods only
4/. was offered, and for soft goods no more than
51. or Si. 10s. could be obtained. Some owners
preferred having their ships lying by for a time
to sailing for such rates.—While perambulating
the streets, in his palanquin, according to the
custom of Europeans, Mr. Mackie was particu-
larly struck with the general appearance of the
city. The houses are finished in a most splendid
style of Eastern grandeur. There are vacant
spaces between the buildings, which are filled
with evergreens, beautiful flowers, and the richest
• odoriferous shrubs.—Mr. Mackie, in short, con-
siders the imposing title of " City of Palaces" as
well merited by Calcutta. having got her cargo
safely aboard, the Louisa sailed on the 4th
April. On reaching St. Helena, the Captain
visited the tomb of Napoleon, and fainly would
he have possessed himself of a slip of the yew
which overshadows the sequestered grave of the
warrior, but from the vigilance of the guardians,
he found that this was not to be easily achieved.
The Louisa sailed again on the 12th July, and
after a prosperous voyage, arrived safely in Leith
harbour on Wednesday night. Mr. Mackie has
brought home a number of both natural and arti-
ficial curiosities. Among these are a variety of
images—sacred symbols of adoration in Hill-
dostan—of all sizes, from two inches to upwards
of five feet. They are made of some mixture of
valuable metals—they differ only in size—are all
in a recumbent posture, with arms folded across
the breast, and every countenance is darkened
with an ascetic gloom. But the Captain has
brought home another collection— highly interest-
ing to all classes of learned men. That is, forty-
two statues, of the castes and grades into which
the inhabitants of that great continent are divided.
They are all in the costumes in which they ap-
pear, when following their avocations or discharg-
ing the public duties of their orders. Mr.
Mackie has a high opinion of Indian sculpture.
He mentions particularly the case of a dwarf. He
was twenty-two years of age, and hardly thirty
inches high, and has, in the likeness, a shrivelled
left leg and mis-shapen foot ; the form and shape
of the eyebrows—the colour of the eyes—the
mustachios—the nice resemblance of the features,
were so happily caught and so accurately de-
lineated, that when placed together, Something
more than a cursory glance was essential to dis-
criminate the real Simon pure." Hence the
persons who see these statues, have as good an
idea of the appearance of the castes, or grades, as
if they saw them on their native soil. The Louisa
is a handsome brig—a good sailer—above 200
tons burden, and it will long be recollected that
s/te s the first vessel which has arrived in Leith
I direct from India.—Scotsman.

At the opening of the Court this morning, there
was a conversation between Mr. Justice BAYLEY
and the Counsel in the case of Jane Scott, the yoking
woman tried and acquitted yesterday on the charge
of poisoning her father, John Scott, at Preston. The
Grand Jury had found another bill against the pri-
soner for poisoning her mother, Mrs. Mary Scott.
Mr. Justice Bayley said the prisoner might either
take her trial now or at the next Assizes, as she and
her Counsel should think best. The Counsel for
the prisoner elected that she should be tried at the
next Assizes. His Lordship said, he wished it to
be understood that he expressed no dissatisfaction
with the verdict given yesterday.
William Harrison was then arraigned on an in-
dictment, and also on a Coroner's inquest, for the
wilful murder of John Mills, at Manchester, on the
morning of Saturday, the 9th of June last, and
pleaded " Not Guilty."
Mr. COLTMAN stated the case.

James Rogers, coachmaker, was in Market-street,
Manchester, at half-past 12 o'clock on the night of
Friday the Bth, and the mooting of Saturday the
9th of June. I saw two women quarrelling. The
little woman was beating the tall one, who made a
great noise. It did not seem to me real. When
they got into the corner of the market and Old
Millgate, they met the prisoner, who was sitting on
some steps; he got up and embraced the tall wo-
man with both his arms, and they fell down toge-
ther. The watchman came up and made them go
on, and they went towards the church by Millgate.
The lesser woman went a different way. The tall
woman continued to make a noise ; they went into
Hanging-ditch, in the direction of the Spread Eagle,
and stood there. I and Parry passed them. When
we were just passing them, we saw two gentlemen
coming from the Spread Eagle in a direction to meet
them. They were Mr. Pettigane and John Mills
the deceased. After they passed we turned round,
because the noise of the woman increased, and
followed them. When we first turned round I saw
the prisoner, the woman, the deceased, and Petti-
gane altogether. The woman was continually scrik-
ing (shrieking), and it seemed as if the prisoner and
the deceased were going to fight. Pettigane held
Mr. Mills, and prevented his going to meet the pri-
soner, who fell back, and his heel caught against the
edging-stone, and he slipped down gently. He was
on the ground in a sitting position for seven or eight
seconds; he then sprang and seized hold of Mr. Mills,
and took him in his arms across the street; the pri-
soner was against the window shutter, and the deceased
up against him. The prisoner had much the best
of the scuffle, and was the more powerful man. He
took the deceased and threw him sideways with vio-
lence against the window-shutter, which made a
great report, and be fell to the ground. I did not
observe the prisoner do any thing particular; but
there was time for him to draw something out of his
pocket. When the deceased was on the ground, I
saw a great deal of blood coming from him. I felt
, at his nose first, but no blood came from there.

felt lower down on the neck, the right side, I think,
and my right hand was covered with blood flowing
from the deceased. I said to the prisoner, who was
by, " You have murdered him !" He instantly ran
away. I ran after him, and caught him close by the
church ; but he got away. I followed and came up
to him Hart-street, gave him a kick, and he fell.
Parry had gone the other way, and met us. I asked
the prisoner what made him murder the man. He

in his right waistcoat pocket; but I cannot tell whe-
ther it was open or shut, for he struggled, and I let
go the waistcoat to hold him. Aaron Orton, the
watchman, came, and I gave him in charge.
By the JUDGE.--I have stated more than it ap-
pears I did before the Coroner, because they would
not take it all down on the inquest.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—The Coroner ought to take
down minutely every thing that is said. One of the
great objects is, to contrast what is said with the
evidence afterwards.
Robert Parry, a tailor.—l was with Mr. Rogers.
I went to the Coroner's Inquest to offer to be exa-
mined, but was not called on.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Very wrong. Who was
the Coroner ?—Mr. John Milne.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Very wrong, for he ought
to have examined all the witnesses. It is hardly
fair to the prisoner.
Parry's examination continued.--I saw the at-
tempt at blows made between them both, but they
were not near enough to hit each other. The de-
ceased was prevented striking the prisoner, because
he was in the arms of his friend. While the prisoner
was making an attempt towards, Mills, his feet
slipped, and he fell upon the foot-path. When he
got up they both seemed to meet one another, and
the prisoner seemed to carry Mills round with a
kind of whiz to the other side of the street. The
prisoner clipped him round his body. Both the pri-
soner and the deceased seemed anxious to fight.
The deceased seemed in liquor.
Aaron Orton—l am a watchman. I saw the pri-
soner on the Saturday morning, about twenty mi-
nutes after one, in the market-place. There were
two women with him. One of them was a tall
woman. I made all three go on. Five minutes
afterwards I heard a cry of " Murder." I went up
and found the prisoner in custody. I saw Mr. Nor-
cliffe attempt to strike the prisoner, who said,
" Watchman, I am in your custody, don't let them
murder me. lam the man that's done it." I saw

HERRING FISHERYon the MORAY COAST.

(From the Elgin Courier.)

It will, no doubt, have occurred to many
of our readers, that we have hitherto com-
municated little intelligence respecting the suc-
cess of the Herring Fishery on the Moray Coast,
this season. The reason of our past partial si-
lence was, that all our accounts represented
things in a most unfavourable light ; and
we anxiously waited from week to week in the
hopes of having more cheering information to
communicate on the subject. The season, how-
ever, is just drawing to a close ; and we are re-
luctantly compelled to state, that the Herring
Fishery on our Moray coast, has been, this year,
a complete failure in the strictest sense of the
terms. A correspondent of ours, who is tho-
roughly acquainted with the subject, and on
whose veracity we can place the greatest reliance,
' writes us in the following terms I am sorry
to inform you,: that the Herring Fishery on this
caist has not as yet been generally successful
this season, and that the fishermen are of 'opi-
nim, that the body of fish have for a season left
it consequently few of the Burghead boats
wait last night to sea, having completely failed
tIB previous night, while others have taken their
delarture for home, not having caught so many
fish as would cover their daily expences during
six weeks' laborious toil in the deep, indepen-
deitly of expences incurred in preparing boats,
nets, &c. But the evil ceases not here ; the
ewers still must be the greatest sufferers, having
th'l season made more extensive preparations than
on any former occasion, and having now seven_
eighths of their casks on hand unfilled, and a great
proportion of their salt unused, without any'pro-
baiility of their being converted into cash for at
leapt twelve months to come. And to increase
their misfortunes, the few Herrings caught will
it s supposed, realise no high price owing to the
gnat success which has attended the Fishery on
the Caithness coast, where more fish are said to
be annually taken than all the other fishery sta-
tiois in the kingdom."
the following list is about the average of the
Crms of Herrings caught
per boat, at the differ-
ent fishing stations, on the Morayshire coast for
thi! season, up to this date, the sth September

him searched afterwards in the market-place. A
knife with two blades was found in his right waist-
coat-pocket, the penknife blade was open. There
was 15s. 6d. in silver, and other things. The pri-
soxer said, " The knife is sufficient for you, return
all the rest." The knife was given to the captain
of the watch. Lester searched the prisoner, and I
saw it in his possession.
Robert Heslup, superintendent of the watch, re-
ceived and produced the knife—there was blood
upon it, and so there is still. It was delivered to
me shut.
The prisoner, on beizig called on for his defence,
said, he left his case in the hands of his Lordship,
and he trusted that on an impartial consideration it
would be found that the death was accidental,
The Jury found a verdict of manslaugha%
Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—A very bad ease of man-
slaughter certainly. He then Addressed the prisoner.
There is no doubt of your guilt to the extent to
which you have been convicted, and it was a
very near point whether it did not amount to the
high crime of murder. It is a very aggravat-
ed case of manslaughter, and the sentence is, that
you be transported beyond the seas for life.

lings an ounce ; but the reason they pay so high
for this description of commodity is, that the
crucible is always ready, and they can, imme-
diately after the purchase, sell it at the full price,
without the slightest hazard of detection. For
a chest of slop (tea), 15/. ; but for tip-top slop
they will not hesitate to give 201. For broadie,
they pay ten shillings a stretch (a yard) ; and
for bull-dogs (lumps of sugar stolen from gro-
cers), half price. The fences always have the
ready money about them, and the dealing is
strictly according to the maxim of " honour
amongst thieves. ' Ikey Solomons was known
to be in the habit of carrying 1,0001. in his side-
pocket, and to have purchased bandanas as they
were carried along the street. There is one class of
thieves who do an immensity of mischief, and
who are seldom or never restrained in the
slightest degree, although the officers well know
that if they are frisked a bit (searched), a great
deal of swag is sure to be forthcoming. Those
are the fellows who seem to be employed as cos-
termongers ; but nothing is too hot or too heavy
for them. They take their rounds in the suburbs
of the town with their donkies and panniers, and
dispose of their greens, and herrings, and other
commodities ; after which they substitute in the
place of such articles as much smut (copper or
lead) as they can stow away. If they fail in strip-
ping a house of the smut, they pick up a stray
fowl, or any thing which is convertible into cash,
and they are always ready to lend a hand at
a burglary, the simplicity of their ostensible
trade acting as security against detection. It is
usual with them to operate largely in the glass
line. If they can prig "a shiner" (a looking-
glass) they immediately transport it to the neigh-
bourhood of Wentworth-street, where the Jews
knock off the frames, and so transform it in
other respects, as to destroy all identity. Some
of the lower order of fences turn a penny by the
purchase of the plate-glasses which the thieves
remove from gentlemen's carriages. Those
glasses are converted into shiners, and are often
sold to the trade, who are sometimes unconscious
that they are instrumental in disposing of stolen
property. The swarms of "buzzes" who infest
the neighbourhood of the theatres, exercise
their ingenuity in a great variety of ways. During
the last season they practised a trick, which suc-
ceeded every night to an extraordinary degree.
One of them would go in front of the horses in
a gentleman's carriage, and play such tricks as
would induce the coachman to rise from his seat
to whip the fellow away. The moment he rose
another of the gang, who waited under the
coachman's seat for the movement, would pull
down the great coat, on which the owner had
sat for security's sake, and away he would run,
the coachman in vain calling out that be was
robbed. The police were aware of this practice,but
they only spoke of it as a test of the skill of those
with whom they were constantly in the habit
of associating. The servants of some of the
visitors at the last Guildhall dinner were plun-
dered in this manner by some of the west-end
" out-and-outers" (thorough-bred thieves.) But
the plunder which has in its list the most able,
desperate, and ingenious professors, is that which
the housebreaker commits, and the city of'
London is the place in which that terrible spe-
cies of depredation is carried to an extent greatly
beyond ordinary credibility. It was the other
day asserted by the Common Council of one of
the wards in the city, that burglaries were seldom
or never committed in it, and some of get,
wealthiest men in the neighbourhood, whose
prehensions for the safety of their immense pro-
perty were construed into party animosity, were
flatly contradicted when they declared, that
within four years eight burglaries had been com-
mitted in the small compass of the ward. That,
there was no exaggeration in the terms of
ia:ld a
the
complaint, there is no more doubt the:n that

standing the acknowledged vices and deficiencies
of the system, any important change
will, we ap-
prehend, be met with considerable opposition.
There is a respectable prejudice amongst the
members of the Corporations who completely
rule the roast, in favour of freemen. Police-
officers must be freemen, and so must watchmen.
It is very seldom that a non-freeman can get
upon the list, however strong his claims may be,
while any stupid, half-worn-out tradesman, who
has qualified himself by sarviude or otherwise, is
willing to turn thief-taker. Those who are thus
qualified, can serve the interests of their patrons
by their votes, and they can perform a variety of
kind offices for them, when they are not em-
ployed in opposing their energies to the attempts
of the robber. We should be glad to learn
whether there are in the whole thy of
London, more than half a dozen officers whose
exertions are worth a straw ? The Aldermen
are responsible for this most criminal defect.
The magistrates, in fact, wile
Jcver we look, are
chargeable with the el •
rOvi of the system. The
moment an Alderman
is applied to for a place,
by one of his old Supporters, the police is men-
tioned as the refuge, and another impotent addi-
tion is made to the poor crippled objects, who
are selected to protect life and property. The
anointment of an efficient police must arise out
of the repeated and loud complaints which are
now daily made. We understand that the new
plan will introduce a complete discipline amongst
the nightly watch; so much so, that the guardians
of the night will be at stated periods reviewed by
the Lord Mayor and Aldermen ill the Guild-
hall-yard, in their professional habiliments. This
argues that a very great change must indeed be
in contemplation, for what a melancholy exhi-
bition of worn-out drowsy objects would a field-
day now present to the citizens of London ! It
would have naeffect but that of exciting laughter,
and
giving fresh vigour to the hopes of the mid-
night ruffian.—Times.

THE ROSE OF JERICIIO.—TIIis singular
plant, which is found only in the deserts of
Arabia, resembles no other in the world. It is
about six inches high, root and all. Its tiny
branches, which are extremely bard, give it the
of a Lilliputian
appearance tree. When drawn
from the earth, and allowed to dry, the points of
its branches curve inward until they touch in one
common centre. Within .the hollow globe thus
formed its numerous flowers are enclosed, which
is partly the case while the plant is in its natural
state.
