LADIES ! LADIES !—The Bristol literary sap-7.
A letter from.* gentleman in Van Diemen's Land,
to bis friend in Edinburgh, may famish a useful hint
to the disciples of Mr. Malthus, as to the practicabi-
lity of preventing any improper increase of popula-
tion in thi, corm:ly. It appears that the best article
of traffic in that settlement would be respectable
females l One speculator proposes to take from one
to two hundred, as a first order ; and so certain is he
of disposing of them to advantage, that he only sti-'
palates that they shall be under fifty. He offers to
remit the cash advanced as freightage, with the least
possible delay. Besides, the Governor offers a bounty
en the importation, of from 50 to 100 acres of land.
We hope some of our merchants will attend to this."
. One of the clauses in the New London Bridge Act
authorizes any peace officer to apprehend, and bring
before some Alderman of the City, any person or per-
sons who s!iail " fasten any horse or other cattle to
any house, wall, fence, post, tree," Sec. on said bridge.
Lately, at Kiln oss, a gun had been carelessly left in
a room where some children were amusing them-
selves, and it was presented and fired by one of them,
at a poor child, who languished fur a few hours in
dreadful agony.
The Rev. Mr. Horttngs, late Curate of Byford, in
Herefordshire, was to have married a Mrs —, a
widow, at the Cathedral Church of that city, a few
days ago. The parties attended at the customary
hour, and proceeded to the altar. The solemn ser-
vice commenced, and was proceeded in till the bride-
groom took the r'ng out of his pocket, to place it on
the finger of his bride; but just at the moment when
she extended her hand to receive the token of their
onion, he suddenly tell back, and, after a fit of con-
vulsions, which lasted but a moment, be lay on the
ground a senseless corpse! To attempt to describe
the alarm which prevailed, would be only to fail.
The half-wedded bride was conveyed home in a state
of grief that is not to be expressed, and the body of
the bridegroom was carried on a bier to a neighbour-
ing tavern (the Red Lion), where an Inquest was
held the same night, by the Coroner, and the Jury
retnrned a verdict of—Died by the Visitaticauol GOD.
It is an extraordinary fact, that the late husband of
the intended bride dripped down dead.
AsignlCAN MUTINEERS.—The schooner Liberty,
from windward, brings the melancholy intelligence
of the crew of the American brig Edward having
murdered their captain (Jubin), and afterwards
scuttled the vessel. An English- boy who was or►
board says, he was at the helm when the Spaniards
came Alt to perpetrate the deed—that he ran forward
to call the Kiewmen to rescue the Captain, brit they
refused to interfere—the Spaniards called him aft,
and asked him if he was the same as them ; he said
he was, as he thought they would kill him if he said
Otherwise. Ile saw, them take a bag of dollars,
marked 1000—there were more bags, but they did
not get them into the boat, as the ve-sel sunk so fast
they had no time. They landed at Aiim, and
walked to Apollonia, where he got on board the
Liberty, and there communicated the particulars.

EXECUTION.—Tuesday se'nnight, Jonathan Cook,
who w.ti convicted at the last Salisbury Assizes of a
Tape, was executed in front of the New Jail, at Fisher-
ton, amid an immense concourse of spectators. The
end of the culprit was dreadful; the rope was not
tied as it om.,,ht to have been ; he suffered the most
excruciating pain; two of the attendants went down
"to. keep him still," but it was unavailing ; Jack
ketch at length mounted the scaffold, re-affixed the
rope, and all was soon over.

PRINCE HOBENLONE AND His MIRACLES.

An extraordinary sensation has been excited in the
Roman Catholic world, by a series of pretended
miracles, worked by Prince Hohenlohe of Bamberg.
In Germany, individuals of all classes, from Matilda
Princess of Schwartzenberg, to the crippled butcher'
at Staupenberg Hotel, have owned " this Doctor's
skill." Fame soon proclaimed these extraordinary
cures; the residence of the Prince, and the road in
which he travelled, were beset with the halt, the lame,
and the blind, all anxiously awaiting the exercise of
his power, and feeling the utmost confidence that it
was sufficient. Applications were now made from
-distant countries to the Prince, with whom time and
space are no obstacles; and he has now got ample
employment in the " Land of Saints," which wings
with his fame. •One of his miracles in Ireland, how-
ever, is said net to be complete. Miss Lalor, who
after being long dumb, was blessed, by the Prince's
prayers, with a sonorous voice, is said again to have
lost it—a punishment, we presume, for not having
made a good use of it.
The Prince's patients in Ireland have become so
numerous as to be' in danger of embarrassing him.:
' he has at length, however, hit upon an ingenious ex-
pedient, which will relieve him. Every one has heard
the anecdote of Dr. Franklin, who suggested to his
father to say grace over a whole barrel of beef at
once, instead of each meal. Prince Hohenlohe has
taken the hint, and, dividing the Irish into districts,
intends to operate on whole communities at once, as
will be seen by the following narrative:
" Another very extraordinary occurrence" (says a
Correspondent of the Dublin Etsening Post), " con-
nected with Prince Hohenlohe's powers of operating
miracles, took place so late as yesterday morning,
(August 1), at the Convent of Ranelagh, imme-
diately adjoining Dublin.
" The circumstances, as far as I have learned, are
briefly these:—A very accomplished religious, of a
nunnery at Cork, wrote some time since, to suppli-
cate the Prince's prayers, on behalf of a sisteeafilicted
with a grievous complaint. She received an answer
from his Highness, stating that he found it almost
impossible to reply to-every application made to him
on those subjects, as he had for a length of time re-
ceived not less than fifty letters'per day, and that, to
obviate the inconvenience of replying individually to
all, he had adopted a system of offering his prayers
for the relief of the afflicted in particular districts on
particular days. In furtherance of this arrangement,
the. Prince requested that his correspondent would
apprise all the Irish religious communities, that he
should, on the Ist of August, at seven o'clock in the
morning, offer up the sacrifice of the Mass, for the
restoration of all those inmates of the establishMents
who laboured under bodily ailment ; and he requested
that Masses should simultaneously be offered up in the
respective convents for the same purpose. This, I
have reason to believe, has been done generally
throughout the kingdom.
" A Lady of respectability, who has been for many
years one of the religious community of Ranelagh,,
and whose name is Stewart, was attacked a consider-
able time since by what was considered an incurable
disease. For the last twelve months she had, as lam
informed, been altogether deprived of the use of her
limbs, and within the last two months her speech had
also failed her. Under these circumstances, her phy-
sicians (amongst whom are mentioned names of the
first rank in the profession) not only abandoned all
hope of ultimate recovery, but stated her dissolution
to be just at hand, when, at the hour indicated by
the Prince yesterday morning, and whilst her brother,
who is a Clergyman, was celebrating Mass for her
recovery, in her chamber—while public prayers were
at the same time offering up for the same purpose in
the Convent Chapel, she arose from her couch, from
which she was never more expected to rise, and ex-
claiming—l Holy, holy, LORD GOD 01 Haan, lam
well 1-prepared herself to descend to the public
Chapel, and manifest the mercies of GOD to the con-
gregation present, by appearing before them, as she
did, completely restored. Philosophy herself must
admit that these things are passing strange."

THE BIRMINGHAM BANE NOTE ROBSERT.-..At
the Manchester Sessions, on Thursday, Griffith Loyd
Turner and Lot Cartiege were indicted for therobbery
in the coach, at the Swan Inn, Lai-lane, London,
in December last, of a parcel of Birmingham bank
notes, containing about £B,OOO, the particulars of
which have often been before the Public. Another
indictment was also preferred against them, for hay-
ing in their possession, at Manchester, part of the
stolen pro?erty, knowing it to be stolen. Before they
were put on trial, Mr. COLTMAN, on their behalf,
applied to the Court to make the prosecutors elect upod
which indictment they would proceed, and that the
other indictment should be quashed. The Bench,'
without finally deciding whether the prosecutors were
bound to elect, expressed an opinion that they,
thought it more proper for them to do so. Mr.
COURTENAY, on behalf of the prosecutors, said, if they
were compelled to elect, they should proceed upon I
the indictment for the robbery. The trial then com-
menced ; and, after six hours and a half's duration,
the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The cause
of the acqtittal was, the difficulty of proving that
several of the notes uttered by the prisoners were in
the identical 'parcel stolen in London. On Friday
morning the discussion.was renewed upon the sub-
ject, whether the other indictment for the offence of
ieceiving should be quashed. The Bench finally
determined, that as the question was one .of great
doubt, and no inconvenience could ensue to the pro-
secutors by the course they intended to take (the pri-
soners being entitled to traverse this indictment to the
next Sessions), they would quash the indictment, and
the prosecutors might apply in the usual way before a
Magistrate to retain them, until they found bail for
the offence of receiving. On behalf-of the prosecu-
tors, it was said, this course would -immediately be
taken. 'The two prisoners will, therefore, be tried at
the next Sessions for the offence of receiving.

THE LATE ELOPEMENT.

It is doubtless fresh in the recollection of out ttiltdets,
that about three weeks ago a young Lady and Gentle-
man were overtaken at Aylesbury ; and the young
lady, after considerable 'resistance horn the lover, %%es
compelled to return to London. Some subsequent
proceedings have taken place of rather a curious
nature. The young Gentleman, on his return, sought
an interview witlrthe fair object of his affections, but
this he could not obtain. He then openly claimed her
in marriage from her father, but was
rejected. lie
next had recourse to stratagem to obtain . a sight of
her, but was informed she was gone to a' certain
watering-place, %%hither he immediately went in pur-
suit of her; but she was not to be found, and he
discovered that he had been misled. He returned to
Lohdon, and by the exercise of some ingenuity, got
admission, with his brother, to the house of her father,
where an interview took place between all the parses
The father firmly persisted in his objection to him for
a son-in-law, and the young lady hersef (it is
alleged) gave him reason to believe that her semi.
menus had undergone a very considerable change. It
was stated to him, in the course of the interview, that,
under the circumstances of her elopement, the shaft
of calumny might be levelled at her character. fie
WRS then asked if he would object to sign a certificate,
declaring her to be pure. and spotless as before lie
knew her? This he signed, at the same time giving,
verbally, an unequivocal declaration to the same effect.
He afterwards renewed his suit, but was again re-
fused, and finally be learned that she was engaged,
and about to be married to another ! At this, all pru-
dence forsook him, and he swore he would shoot her.
His declaration was, " By G—D, if she goes to the
Altar with another, she shall never return fiom it
alive I" He went to the house and repeated this de-
claration,. and was attended by, his brother, who was
also said to, have joined in the threats used by the
loier. It vras at-length deemed necessary, for the
safety of all parties, to appeal to the law, and an ap-
plication was Made at one of the Police Offices, in
consequence of which a peace warrant was issued,
but the brother of the lover only was taken into cus-
tody, the other not being found.
An examination, which lasted several. hours, and
which was strictly private,bas taken place before the
Magistrate who granted the warrant. The brother,
in answer to the charge, denied that hefted ever made
use of threats, or any expression which'could be so
construed. He descanted upon the wretchedness and
misery which his brother bad endured, and was still
suffering ender; and declared be (ins almost in a state
of madness. He had been inclined (the defendant
addedl to sign the certificate which had been men-
tioned, by a promise, friss:lithe young Lady, that upon
his signing it she woald consent to have him.
Here the young Lady, who was present, said, "I
never made any such promise."
The defendant declared she did. She said, "if
you will sign the certificate, I will have you" (calling
him by his Christian naMe). But when he had signed
it she declared "she could (or would) never have hini."
The young Lady denied 'that she ever made any
such declaration. It was further stated in her be-
' half, that she was at first by no means a consenting
party to the elopement, for that the young Gentle-
' man had previiled upon her to enter a carriage, under
the pretence of taking her for a drive merely; and
they had got more_than twenty miles before she was,
informed of or even guessed at his intention, and she
thought it then too late triscetract.
A very long, and, at intervals, a very stormy dis-
cussion before the Magistrate, terminated it.length.
in an order from hii WOrship for the defendant to I
enter into sureties to a' large •amount, to keep the I
peace to the young Lady and her family, and to qll
his Majesty's subjects until the next Sessicins.
The fair cause of all these prodeedirigs, who ii little
more than seventeen years of age, was married, we
understand, to the favoured rival on Saturday last.

'Mrs, Bier.r.mm of John-street, Bedford-row, gave
information to Mr. Read* the head-officer of the
Hatton-garden police, on Monday, that •on the pre-
ceding day, whilst attending Divine Service at the
Caledonian. Chapel, in Cross-street, Hatton-garden,
her pocket was picked of her purse, containing several
sovereigns and a-quantity of silver, as she suspects,
by a well-dressed female who sat near her.

STRIFPINOCHILDam—Monday evening, no fewer
than eight children, who were,,a; play in the field at
the back of the House of correction, Cold Bath-fields,
%%ere decoyed away some distance from the others by
two women, under pretence of buying them some
fruit, when they stripped them of their ear-rings,
necklaces, handkerchiefs, and part of their apparel,
• The accounts received in England would have in-
duced many to imagine that a people so cruelly op.
prebsed as the Greeks, would have begun by destroy-
ing the Mosques which victory had placed in their
power. This is so far from being the case, that of
the four established at Tripolizza, three are already
fitted up as Greek Churches, while the fourth, and
largest, is opened as a Lancasterian School!. .

FUNERAL Or TEE LATE buss .or ROXEDIOR.—
Wednesday, the remains Hof his Grate Jamas, Dirke
of Roxstitton; were interred in the ancient family
vault at Bowden. Bet Ween twelve and one o'clock
the procession moved from Reins. The body was
conveyed in a hearse drawnby six horses, and attended
by all the circumstances of pomp and solemnity be-
fitting the occasion. Thelean.e was followed by
the carriages of the family, by those of the principal
Nobility and Sentry of the' country, anciliy the nu-
merous and respectable tenantry of the Roxburgh
estate", in carriages and on horseback.• On appropih-
ing Kelso, the procession was joined by the members
of the different trades,. end by many other inhabi-
tants of the town, all dressed in deep mourning;. they
had solicited and obtained permission to pay that
mark of respect, and they preceded the hearse as far
'as the Tweed, where they:ranged to the right and
left on the bridge, forming an avenue through which
the carriages. and horsemen proceeded towards the
plape of interment. Whilst the procession pissed
'through. Kelso, all the shops were shut, the bells tolled
at interval', and -every tribute of respect was shewn.
