ST. PRTERSBURGH, JANUARY 1.

Yesterday, and the day before, his Majesty the Em-
peror ♦isited those parts of the City which suffered the
most from the late inundation. Among the sums lately
received for the sufferers by the late inundation, are
10,000 rubles from Messrs. Rothschild, at Vienna.
The navigation at Cronstadt appears to have ceased
on the 14th of last month.
STOCKHOLM, JANUARY 4.

Agriculture, which has made such progress in Swe-
den within these 25 years, continues to be.carried on
with increased activity. The province of Malmoe, in
Scania, exported in 1823, no less than 246 tons of Corn,
and 560,000 pints of Brandy. Thus the problem, who.
Cher Sweden can produce sufficient for its own con-
sumption ? is solved in the most satisfactory manner, by

ten years experience.

The contract with the English Gas Company is con-
cluded ; the Company is to have the exclusive privilege

of lighting the city for twenty-ori) yeaks, Cs *ell as gll
rublic establishments, &c. The expenses of the under-
taking are estimated at 20,0001. sterling.

KONIGSBURG, JANUARY 5.
On,the Sd, we had again a most violent storm on the
sea coast, with a rety high flood. The water was from
four to five feet deep in the streets, and the inhabitants
of several houses were obliged to take refuge in the
upper stories. The water is still high, though the
wind has abated ; boats still ply in the streets.

POLICI LVT'LLIAENCIE.

-r-
BOW-STREET.

FALSE Cu,

Chamberlain Wag brought before S:r

R. Bram, charged with endeavouring to procure the place of
butler in the house of Mr. Carden, a Solicitor, by means of a forged
character. The prisoner had presented himself to the complainant
for the purpose of accepting the situation of a butler, whit it he tin.'
derstood was then vacant in Ma house. Mr. C. very naturally In.
quired what recommendation he had from ary person with whom
he bad previously lived? Lie said his name w-et Freeman, had
lived in the service of General Coffin, and front himhad received
written credentials, which be had no doubt would be satisfactory.
A written character was accordingly pro.uced 11 the prisoner, i.
which very warm praises were bestowed by General Coffin ,a, ,
person named Freeman, and at the same time referring alit:lg ir,.r,
to particular relat of the General. The comp) harm aceorklin7,ly
wrote to some of the members of the General's family, a,:d fi.,,n4
them he learned that the would-Ire butler was an ityptetor. Ti
" Freeman," of whom the General wrote was then at alontrce
in Canada. Therefore, either the character must be 4ltogelher
forgery, or else Freeman must have made over hts cliar..et. r ,„ to
prisoner. Under these circumstances, a warrant for the stapes!,,,,,
slat of the prisoner was obtained. Sir li. Bram °Ml:ref it,.
prisoner to pay the sum of £2O. 10s. the penalty appointed by 0.1
statute. The prisoner said he had no meats of paying to large a (um.
Sir R. Brawn therefore committed him for a mouth to :lie T,,,,d:
31i11, unless he should sooner pay the required line.
)
CARPI,Zi% DAITING.—Charks Kash, the servant of John Some,
was charged with careless driving. by which the co!!at.liiiiie u a
boy, named Harold Collier, had beets broken. A milther of tv.ra
nessea were called, who proved, that on the preceding t:av the
complainant was walking across Seven Dials, v.iten the dehnJaiit,
vditt sy;..s driving a butcher's cart, drave against him. Ile o.s iitt.
diarely knocked doun. and his collar-bone broken by the ‘iii.t.
The boy was then taken to the shop of a neighbouring sue-.;,.,,
and the usual remedies applied. These, it is hoped, %veil ti'; ref

restore him to the use of- -his arm. Sir R. Bluster bettre who.;
the defendant was brought, severely reprimanded the iss.n ter
latter, for his improper conduct in placing a bny like tke present
fendant in a cart, where, by his careless or furious drtvi.it, tyn
limbs and lives of the public were thrown into the most inimictn
danger. The defendant was accordingly order:tl to pLy 3 tine of
ten 'billings, and costs. Sir R. Masts told the patties comp.ainiN,
that the preser.t was all the relief he could give them, N.; if ihri
chose, they were fairly authorized to bring their acacia tigataa
the defendant.

STOCKHOLM, JANUARY 7.

The new tariff, contrary to all expectation, has aug-
mented the duties on several imported articles : as leaf
tobacco, Muscovades, rice, and cotton yarn. The list
of prohibited articles is so ample, that it promises a
rich harvest to the smugglers.

I3russels Papers to the 20th inst. reached us this fore-
noon. An article from Stockholm, contradicts the ru-
mour that the King of SWEDEN was about to abdicate
in favour of his son. "We need not say," says the
Stockholm writer, " that this statement is wholly false.
Our Monarch, happy to see in his son qualities which
promise to his people the continuation of an enlightened
and pater nalGovernment,would doubtless have eceived,
for the first time, a contradiction from the Crown
Prince, if his Majesty should conceive the idea of such a
resolution ascribed to him." The following ate extracts :
It seems doubtful what will be the fate of the prej .ct
of law relative to the French coin, the votes on which,
in the first Chamber, were equally divided ; some of the
Journals have said, that "Lis Majesty had been requested
to take it into farther consideration ;" others, " that it is
to be considered as rejected ;" but the Journal de
Bruxelles declares both these o,,inions ill-founded ; in the
present case, the law being neither adopted nor rejected,
things are in the same s:a'e as if the first Chamber had
not debated at all. What, then, should hinder the
Chamber from dearerating again, when the obstacle
which hindered it horn deciding by a majority of votes
shall be re:noved--that is to say, when there is- an odd
number of Members present? We know of no law or
regulation to prevent this, and as every project of law
otOrt to have some result, it is probable that this branch
of the Legislature should resume a debate which has,
remained imperfect, or rather without effect, till it'
obtain a result which can be only the adoption or the
rejection of the law. The Editor of the Journal de
Brnxelks therefore thinks, that the debate on this subject
will be re-commenced.

It is said, in fact, that the Members of the first
Chamber who a:e absent for various reasons, will soon
be in their places, and that the project of law will un-
dego a second discussion.

EAST FRIESLAND, JANUARY 4.

Our private accounts from England, hold out a
prospect of the abolition of the Corn Bill in the next
Session of Parliament, as being more favourable to the
speculators than the cultivators: the latter can be re-
leased only by the abolition of some taxes, and, with
the present Corn Bill, the people of England pay twice
as dear for bread as they would do if the importation
of corn were free. As EnglAnd's export trade, in colo-
nial produce and manufactures, to North Germany
is very important, it seems to be felt in England,'
that this country will not be able to purchase
English goods, if they cannot export corn to England,
which would be a great loss to the English trade.—
Hence it is supposed, that the Corn Bill will be at least
greatly modified.

FArdiL ACCLEYEAM
Friday afternoon, a ststressang gccident occurred at
Great-Yarmouth, on. the river, near Fisher's Qom', br
the upsetting of a boat. A large party of Ladie4 trnd
Gentlemen, consisting of Mr. Andrews, Misses Sarah,
Catherine, Mary, and Frances Andrews, son and daugh-
ters of the late Bev. Mr. Andrews, of Flempion Hail,
near this town, ltiev. Mr. Harris, Mr. Power, and Mr.
Cape, engaged a boat to sail on that fine piece of water,
near Yarmouth, called Braydon, and had spent the day'
in the most agreeable m Inner. On their return, .when
near Turner's bowling-green, it was suggested that
they should land there, but a man named J. Bull, in
the employ of the owner of the boat, advised them to
proceed to the place from whence they started, and
there land; Bull then, unsolicited, got into the boat
with the party, to assist them down with it. The boat
afterwards gently dropped down the river with the
tide about 200 yards further, when they arrived at the
quay, where they were about to land. One of the
Gentlemen here got into a smaller boat, and was put
on shore. Dill then threw the jib-halyards for him to
make fast, without properly securing them to the side
of the boat, which he ought to have done ; the rope was
thus fastened from the mast-head to the shore. The
tide was running very strong at the time, w hich caused
the head of the boat to sheer off from the shore, conse-
quently was carried round with its side to the current,
and owing to the rope being improperly fastened to the
mast-held it instantly upset, when all on board were
precipitated into the river. The accident was observed
by many persons, and boats immediately put off to their
assistance; some without oars, others with only one;
and from the confusion which ensued, it was much
doubted whether any of them could be saved. We are,
however, happy to add, that the Ladies and Gentlemen
above-mentioned were all preserved by the boats; some
of them in a nearly exhausted state, and' others appa-
rently lifeless. The Gentlemen suffered but little, as
they were all able to swim ; but the Ladies floated down
the river, buoyed up by their clothes, some of them'
nearly to the bridge, a distance of two hundred yards,
before they were picked up. The most distressing part
of this occurrence is, that J. Bull, the man who went
on board unsolicited, and was in the boat when it upset,
has never been seen or heard of. it is supposed he
must have been stunned by a blow on the boat going
over, as be was a very good swimmer.

THE KING .O.,BAIRD.

This was a rule obtained in last Term by Dr. Alder-
son, (ailing on. Dr. Baird, a physician, at Ipswich,' to
shew cause why a criminal information should not be
exhibited against him for conduct lending to provoke
Dr. Beck, also practising as a physician in the same
place, to commit a breach of the peace.
Mr. SCARLETT, who appeared lir the defendant, said
it was an application by one physician against another)
and he should be happy to terminate it without turther
discussion. Dr. Baird felt that the act complained of
was the result of irritated feeling, excited certainly by
considerable apparent provocation ; but carried to an
excess which he regretted. He was willing to make
this apology, and to pay the costs.
The LORD CHM Annex suggestei that some Gen.
tleman should look into the affidavits, and determine
the form and manner of an apology, which should be
made and accepted.
Mr. Baotrottast, for Dr. Beck, said his client was not i
actuated by any desire to injure the defendant; and
therefore he was ready to accept the terms proposed on
his behalf; but he thought, as the offensive placard had
been exhibited in a public subscription-room, the apo-
logy aught to find its way to the same circle.
Mr. SCARLETT objected to a publication in the news-
papers ; but was willing further to say, that if Dc. Baird
had knownwhat the affidavit of Dr. Beck now disclosed,
he would not have proCeeded in the manner of which
complaint was made.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that Mr. Platt should
look into the QffiJavits, and prescribe the form of an apology ; and
that the rule should be enlarged, the defendant paying the costs.

Whenever circumstances render it necessary to abate this ration

CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.

Mr. O'Connell has addressed the following letter to
the Catholic Association in Ireland. It was read at the

meeting of that Body on Wednesday last:—

Imam, 7th March, 1825.
SIR—I deem h a duty I owe my respected brethren
of the Catholic Association, to state to them the fol.

lowing facts, and to mix with my statement some ad-
"vice, which is certainly honest in intention:
First—The Bill for the suppression of the Association
will be read a third time this day. It cannot get the
Royal Assent for some days; and it will not be in force
or operation for ten days after it receives the Royal
Assent. I hope I shall be in Ireland within that period,
to assist in such an arrangement as may be most suited
to the dignity and the Interest of the Catholic body,
without being in any, even in the slightest degree in-
consistent with that dutiful and ready obedience we
have always paid, and in every fortune will pay, to the
law of the land. Obedience to the law is our first duty ;
our next is the peaceable and loyal pursuit, by all the
constitutional channels left open to us, of that Emanci-
pation which would not be the victory of party, but
would be the means of consolidating the empire, by
making the people of Ireland part and parcel of the
common strength of the great British nation.
Secondly-_I am able to state, that the cause of re-
ligious liberty, which we advocate, is certainly gaining
wound in this country; much- of the opposition to
w-, 1 was in the habit of attributing to bigotry, and
to as old dislike to the Irish. Since I came here, lam
convinced I was in error, arid that there is but little of
bigotry remaining, and still less of an anti-Irish feeling.
Wn! The opposition to us at ptesent, such as it is, is oc-
'casioned solely by an ignorance of the merits of our
'claims, and by the prejudice created by Orange calum-
triators. I have perceived that it is quite sufficient to
are an Englishman accurate information on the sub-
ject of the oppressions under which we labour, and _the
extent of the rebel which we seek, to convert him from
an opponent into a steady and warm friend. The ex-
aminations before the Committees of both Houses in this
way have done great good • and our cause is winning
its way on the English mind, by its native merits, in
that friendly mode which is most desirable for the pur-
pose oftonsolidating both countries its that cordial gran•
ner which would increase theirealth and strength of both.
Thirdly —1 have the happineis to state my conviction
that the Emancipation Bill will pass this Session. I may

ROYAL. SOCIETY.

Thursday last, the Royal Society resumed its
after the Christmas holidays. A very interesting
was read by Captain 'CAME, on a new collimeu
instrument for ascertaining correctly the line of
Lion, or the true level of a telescope, and which promises
to be of great utility in practical astronomy. The Fel-
lows heard with pleasure, that the accounts of a failure
of a practical application of science, announced in some
of the Papers, was without foundation ; and were in-
formed by their President, and by Fellows who had
seen, or were acquainted with the state of the &NA-
KANO, shat the results were of the most satisfactory
kind. M. Tuarraututs name was read as a foreign mem-
ber of the Society; and Mr. BELL and Mr. BCOUESIII
admitted as Fellows.
It is well known that, at the request of the Royal
Society, Government had coasented to have an arc of
the meridian measured in New South Wales. It is to
be hoped, that no changes which may take place ip the
government of that Colony, will interfere with this im-
portant aneasure, which is a very great scientific object,
not merely from its relation to the charts and limits of
territory in Australasia, but likewise from its connec-
tion with the figure of the earth. ♦s we are superior
to every other nation in warlike and commercial pur-
suits, surely we ought not to be outdone by them is
philosophical enterprise.

- -A report was current yesterday, and bat obtained
credit in the well-inforated circles in the City, that the Turks have
accepted the mediation of Austria to settle their differences with
the Greeks.
The Emperor of Moaocco is fittingont an expedi-
tion against the Sardinians.
The shares in the Anglo.Chilian Mining Association
were distributed to the subscribers yesterday. The ca-
pital of this Company is to be 1,500,0001. divided into
15,000 shares of 1001. each. The objects of this As-
sociation are the same as that previously established.
In the prospectus of the undertaking it is stated that
a gentleman, a native of South America, who for-
merly resided in England as Representative of one of
the South American Republics, has offered his services
to accompany to Chile the other agents of the Associa-
tioa, in order to promote its interests." The shares
were sold yesterday at (tow 101. to 181. premium.

MURDER AT WIMBLEDON.

Last week an attack was made by a pauper of
Wimbledon workhouse, named Milliss, upon two others,
named Fuller and Appleton, and which has ultimately
proved fatal to the former. It appears that the three
paupers slept in the same bed, on the night of the 11th
inst. When Millis: and Appleton ere in bed, and
Fuller was preparing for rest, Milliss started up, said
" That's all I wanted," and attacked Fuller, who cried
out and got away. Milliss then turned round, and cut
Appleton across the head; Appleton attempted to wrest
the weapon from Millist's hand, and in so doing his
hands were much cut; sever al persons who were alarmed
by the cries, came to his assistance, and secured Mil-
liss. In the meantime, Mr. Sandford, the surgeon, was
called t) attend the wounded man. Fuller had received
a violent thrust in the groin from a knife, and to such
an extent as to cause a protrusion of his entrails; there
was also another cross wound, but that was very little
more than skin deep, the larger wound was closed, but
the unfortunate man lingered until Thursday morning,
and then died. The surgeon who examined the body,
found the intestines lacerated in two or three places.
Appleton's wounds, which he received on the head and
hands, were not dangerous, and he is fast recovering.
Appleton and several other paupers were examined
by the Magistrates, respecting this horrid affair. Ap-
pleton said, that a few days before it took place, Milliss
threateced that if he bad a knife he wopld stab him.
This threat he hid once before made use of. He is a
man much subject to fits.
Friday, an Inquest was held on the body of Fuller,
before Mr, Jemmett, the Coroner. The testimony of
Appleton, and the other paupers who came to his as-
sistance, was given, and a verdict returned—" That
the deceased,William Fuller, came to his death through
wounds inflicted with a knife by Richard Milliss."—The
Magistrate has committed him for trial on the two
' charges, viz. for the wilful murder of Fuller, and for
cutting and maiming Appleton, with intent to do him
some bodily harm. The prismer has been conveyed
to Hursemonger-lane Gaol for trial at the next Assizes.

FATAL PUGILISM.

A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday, at Chalk
Farm, on the body of William Stone, aged 19, the per
son who was killed in a pugilistic encounter with Joseph
Packer, on Sunday morning last. Several witnesses
were examined, and they proved that .a quarrel took
place between the combatants at the Adam and Eve,
in the Hampstead-toad, where they were drinking.
Stone felt hjmself displeased, at soine person throwing
a tobacco pipe at him, which he said bad been thrown
by Packer; a quartet arose, and after a round or two
in the room, an agreement was made, much against
the inclination of Packer, that they should figllt on
Sunday morning last, in the fields, near Chalk Farm.
The parties met accordingly—Packer attended by a
man named Cummings, and Stone, by a man named
Hearn ; after fighting about fifty minutes, Stone, in the
last round, fell on his back, when retreating from his
adversary, and Packer accidentally fell upon him, with
his knee on his breast. Oa arising, it was evident, from
Stone's distreised situation, that he had no chance with
Facker, who was a more powerful man; his seconds,
however, encouraged him to renew the contest, but,
while resting on one of their knees, he fell to the ground
senseless. He was carried into Chalk Farm, where he
immediately died. Cummings, when apprised of his
death, did not leave the field to sender the least assist-
ance, but said " Stone might die and be ---," and
performed his part at another battle, which had com-
menced before Stone was carded away.—The CORONER
said, that if, in the prosecution of an illegal act, as
fighting a pitched battle, either of the combatants were
killed, it was the duty of the Jury to say, that all who,
assisted in k were guilty of Manslaughter. In this
case, it seemed that Packer was willing it should be a
drawn battle; but the deceased would not consent to it.
The Jury returned a-verdict of Manslaughter against
Packer, and the four seconds, named Cummings,
Adams, Saunders, and_ Hearn.

MARY-LA-BONNE.

A young man applied to Mr. RAWLDISON, the sitting Magistrate,
for his advice and protection, under the following distressing cir-
cumstances. He stared that he is by profession a stay-maker, and
about 21 years of age. Last August he had married a woman of
the same years with himself, but from that moment to this he had
scarcely had the life of a dog. She spent all his wages, ran him
into debt, scolded him night and day, and beat him unmercifully.
He had tried to bear with it patiently, but now could endure it no
longer, and claimed the protection of the law.
" Why don't you exert your authority," said the Magistrate,
and convince her that you are master ?"
I " But that is what she will not allow," replied the afflicted hus-
band, " for she asserts that she is master ; and when I resist, and
try to exert my authority, she. falls upon me, and, being a man, 1
scorn to lay hands on a woman. She spends every farthing I earn,
and deprives me of all peace besides."
He was then advised to diminish her allowance, to confine her to
a kind of bread and water diet, and keep his wages to himself.
" Oh ! there it is," exclaimed he; " then begins the mischief.
She then goes about and complains that I starve her; and when this
does not succeed, she vows that I shall be starved too, and confines
me to the house; but the other day I had to get a watchman to
bring me beer, as she would not allow me fo stir. Only Saturday
last, at the close of a terrible blowing-up, which I bore patiently,
she said such things of me."
" Well, what did she say?" asked the Magistrate.
" Why, your Worship, when fatigued with tormenting me, and
seeing I bore it patiently, she said, John, John, I say,.---" Well,
what do you lay ?" I think you are the biggest rogue alive.' "
The Magistrate admitted that his case was a very hard one, but,
as it did not appear that any blows had been struck for a-fortnight,
he would advise him to try her again • and, if the bread and water
system bad no effect, to apply at the dffice, and he certainly should
have redress.
The staymaker at this plucked up courage, said he would make
another trial, and do his best to keep her in order.

Although our supplies (2,600 quarters of Wheat, '2,160 quarters
of Barley, 8,700 quarters of Oats, and 4,100 sacks of Flour,) are
