HI DI:UPINBLI.

BRIGHTON. JUNE 4.
We have alretdy stated that a dog, supposed to be
r 'hid, had bitten Mr. White. surgeon, of this town, and
five other petsons, and that Mr. White had taken no
pi ecautions so te•pect to the severe bite he had received
in them mitotn a conviction of the non-communicability
of rabies to the human subject. T.•e dog died in the
course of the night of Friday sennight. The following

is Me. Whi;e% Account:—
" In the morning (Saturday) I entered her place of confinement,
I there fuuutl three basins of water, (one of which each day, hal
Plit6tt 'Peel there) untouched. The MUM* of three dishes of
food, too, had nut much decreased, though she had evidently
eaten-of them. It was manifest that else bad net drank water
for nearly three days; indeed she bad, from the .first, betrayed a
disinclination to it—but not amounting to dread. She would
noire back from that fluid if geoid) pushed towards her ; this
was tried in basins of different colours, brown and white. It
was not so with food, for she would eat of that before me.—
(hr Saturday afternoon, l.was favoured by a eaU from Dr. King,
Dr. Martin. anti Mr. Sutton, to notice any appearances that
might present themselves on examining the body of the dog. Such
appearances are included in the following account :—The liver was
of a good size, and apparently healthy. The beast rather large; and,
like the neighbouring vessels, gorged with blood. The stoma was
nearly empty, and bore the strongest marks of htflanunatort action
on its under coat and general substance. The intestines, through all
their convolutions, were much thickened and marked by the same
unequivocal appearances of excitement from some cause. There
were about twenty live worms in the leen (the longest of the small
intestines). The lungs, on being inflated, were (with the exception
of marks of inflammation) without disease • bet the stomach
being submitted to distension, the air was found not to pass, from
the thickened state of its pyloric (lower) orifiee, into the intestines.
It is worthy of remark, that this fact (front observation made
on a case of recent dissection of a dog, dying supposed to have
been rabid) was thought, by Dr. Martin, as likely to occur, and
mentioned vs such, by that Gentleman, before the experiment was
made that confirmed it. Trams of inflammation were discernible
about the windpipe and gullet, the tongue seemed rather swollen at
the root; and the sublingual glands were unusually prominent.—
The latter remark may be quoted on the appearance of the sub.
Maxillary and patotid glands. The brain presented nothing extra-
ordinary, farther that' a trifling culleetion of fluid in its ventricles,
and a scarcely discernible blush of inflammation on its ens mat r.
`The kidneys and bladder were healthy, as was the uterus. There
was only a trifling increase of the natural quantity of saliva in the
mouth. I shall close my remarks by stating nay opinion (confirmed
by that of several persons who saw theslog) that her latter appear-
ance most unequivocally exemplified the state of stupor and list.
lemmas that bas occasioned the remark—' as a dead dog standing
upright.' Strong excitement, from some cause, was evidently de-
veloped by the dissection. That that excitement induced the dis-
inclination to taste, or inability to swallow, water, with other
strange syMptoms, I can readily imagine; but, that a bite from
any dog, dying under similar circumstances, can infuse a specific
poison into the human system—let it be called by any
deny. I have, in the minds of my medical Mends, staked my life
on my opinions ; I have every confidence, sheet of bigotry, in Moir
correctness • and with (what others have been pleased to term) the
most dreadful of human maladies presumed to be banging over mss,
feel competent to declare that imagination will, at least, have no
share in the result. I shall die, 6 and the worms may eat me;
but not of Hydrepliseim"

Th;s was a pe.ition of rather a novel natoret,la which,
Vise petitioner himself, Mr. Whitfield, pleaded his own
cause, and was opposed by -a Learned Civilian, Dr.
Jtasaa. The application now made to the Court was
fora Commission of review in.the nature of an appeal
from a decision pronounced by the Court of Delegates.
By the 25th Henry VIII, c.• 19, an appeal was given
from the respective Courts of the Archbishops to the
King in the Court of Chancery, and upon such appeal
a Commission *as to be directed to such persons as his
Majesty should name, The facts of the case, as they
appeared from the statement of the petitioner, were
these t—stle was owner of a teasel, and having become
indebted to a person of the name of Roberts the ship
was seised by the Sheriff of Kent. The owner again
got possession through neglect of the Sheriff, and it
was again seized. The vessel was then sold, the debts
paid, and the surplus proceeds lodged in the Court of
Admiralty. A dipute then arose as to the surplus,
whether it belonged to the petitioner, or to the seamen
for their wages. The matter being heard bell) e the
Court of Delegates, it was decided that the petitioner
had no right to such proceeds. The pe Wu:l:r now
appealed from this decision, and the application he
now ma le was for a Commission of Review, in put-
' seance of the directions of the Act of Parliament.

After hearing the petitioner at much length. the affi-
davits filed nit both :Lies, and Counsel against the appli-
cation, his Lordship determined that there was no
,ground for .dinscing a Commision of Review, as there i
was no sufficient proof of either error in fact, or in law,
in the sentence pronounced by the Court of Delegates.
These Commissions were prayed of the grace and be-
nign ty of the Crown, and it had been, in the exercise
ot. its sound discrtion, usually induced to withhold such
Commissions, un'ess them were cogent reasons for be-
lieving that the sentence sought to be reviewed was
founded .upcn error in fact, or in law.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 4.
Till KING V. THE MAYOR (F FoW?Y.
The ATTORNEY-ChiabAL mowed for a Rule, call'ng
on the Mayor and several other corporate officers of
the Borough of Fowey, in Cornwall, to shew cause why
a criminal i formation should not be exhibited against
them fur illegal interference with the poor rates, by
payment of which the tight to vote at elections Is ob-
tained. The affidavits disclosed, a prima fade case
against some parties, but did not fir with certainty all
the individuals who could be eventually affected by
the charge.
The Cotner granted the Rule, snggeAing to the At-
torn2y-Gereral that it would be Inure prudent to leave
to the future exercise of his own discretion the indivi-
duals who should be requited to answer.
The ATOuNIT.GINSILAL took his Rule on these terms.
Till KING V. JOSE FISCHINA Di CAVALLO.
Mr. BROUGHAM moved, nn behalf of the PortUguese
Ambassador, the Marquis Palmella, for a rule, calling
on Jose Pisciera de Cavallo, to shew cause why a cri-
minal information should not be exhibited against him
for a libel an his Excellency, in a pamphlet called Vie
Portuguese Periodical Work. The libel, which was
exist eased in very gross language, charged the Ambas.
odor with having sorruptly appro.':rioted to his own
use, a portion of 85,0001. the proceeds of prize captured
'at the battle of Vittc;ia. A sum bf the amodnt stated
bad been deposited in the Bank of England to be dis-
tributed among the British and Portuguese armies en-
gaged, in rateable ptoportions; but in consequence of
corns difficulties in obtaining the proper receipts from
the authorities in Portugal, it still remained in the Bank.
The Ambassador's affidavit fully negatived all the
matter charged, and distinctly showed that he neither
had nor could have any controol over the mooey.—The
COURT granted a rule to shew cause.
ARTICLES 01 THI PRAM
Sr. Goarrev, on the behalf of Hannah Disney, exhibited articles
of the prace against her husband, John Disney, of St. Martin's in
the Yields, Middlesex. They set forth brutal treatment on the
part of her husband.
The Com ordered the articles to be pat on the ales of the
Court, and granted an amasses( against the said John Disney.
HORN= V. TAILOR.

This muse was tried here a sheet time since, and was an action
of slander, in which the .lury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with
SOL damages, foe the defendant baying slandered the character of
the plaintiff, by stating that be was an salt person to execute the
business of painting St. Margaret's
Mr. Cuawoon now moved for leave to enter a nansult, the verdict
net being suliciently founded by the evidenee.—Rule refused.
DO! V. LOMAS.

This was an application to strike Mr. Harry Cope,
of Wilson-street, Gray's-inn-toad, off the Roll of At-
tornies of this Coutt, for mal-practice. It was alleged
that blr. Cope, in applying for a summons before Mr.
.tostice Littledale, in the cause abovementioned, pro-
feswd to produce copies of letters received from Mr.
J.tmes, of Ely-place, the attorney on the other side, in
support of the application ; and upon the faith of '
Mr. Cope's representation that the copies west true, the
Learned Judge granted the summons. It turned out,
however, that important passages in Mr. James's letters
had been left out of the supposed copies, and that, in
fact • a deception had been practised upon the Learned
Judge. who would not have granted the summons,
had he been truly informed of toe contents of the letters.
Mr. Cope had justified his conduct on the ground that
be was not bound to produce complete copies of the letters is
mtestion before the Learned Jody, and that he did not produce
the letters as copies of the originals.
The Cause characterised Mr. Cope's conduct as a scandalous I
attempt to impose upon the Learnea Judge before whom the
160311101311 was takes out.—Rule absolute.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 4.

ELIBA UOLLAND CAMPBELL. AN INFANT, SUING BY
MIR NUR FRIEND, Da HOLLAND ANL WIPL
This was an action of assault and battery, to which the de-
fendants had pleaded Not Guilty.
Ilr. C. PAULUS'S stated the ease to the Jury.
Mr. Whiting proved that the plaintiff was pot to his mother's
school, at Shy guineas per annum, and was ordered to be treated
with every isdelgesce.
Francis de Woes, the clerk to Harries and Co. the defendants
bashers, roved the orders for the payetent HO
of mosey for "
Campbell's ecismation in France.
Mary Ann Lawrence was then called Imo the box. Before she
gave her evidence, she said she wished to claim the protection of
the Court, as she had been threatened with violence by (as was un-
derstood) Mr. Hallam!.
The Cater Jessica said the Coon was quite strong enough to
protect her, and desired her to proceed.
The witness then deposed at follows s—ln Febrintr
1823, I was a servant of the defendants. I had then
lived with them about four months and a week. On
the 12th February, 1823, Mi,s Campbell was in the
horse. I have heard Mr. Holland say, he spent 5091..
upon her education ; and she alterw4rds said it WAS a
pvty all was expended on her education, and nothing
saved to put her out to some gente.l bscsiness, as she
had no fortune of her oven. I toll rail c.) Mr. and Mrs.
ilonwid; about tea sitututtsaCer I saw the plaintiff

attiall at tea with them. Mt. Holland saki it was Will
sensible of Miss Campbell to have. said vilest she had.
Miss Campbell tense ia the% and was asked if she bid
Made nit of suckespeessions ? attstahe slatt she bad:. .1
left the room immediately, and as I rat to the bottom'
of the stairs the bell rang in a violent manner ; wlsen I
got to the parlour door Miss CaMpbell• wascorning owls
with her bosom all wet, the cup was broken on the aelliri
and the side-board was wetted with hot tea. Mits
Campbell went down into the kitchen, where Abe was
followed by Mr. and Mrs. Holland, the latter of whotis
took her by the hand and swung her round the kitchen.
Mrs. Holland then took a lighted candle from my can-
dlestick- and threw it at her. Mr. Holland receive.' her
in his arms to prevent her from falling. Mrs. Holaad
ran towards her; but Mr. Holland gave her a blow
which threw her aside and k socked her down. Miss
Campbell ran away into the back kitchen, and bolted
the door. Mrs. Holland said she was not Mr. Holland's
daughter. I called to Miss Campbell to come out of the
kitchen to help me to save Mrs. Holland lions her hus-
band. Miss C. did so, and MI& H. took hold of the led-
hot poker from the kitchen fire.and ran at Miss Campbell,
who fled to the nursery. Mrs. Holland pursued her,
lifted up the poker. with b tth her hands, and struck at
her; the blow struck Campbell on the collar, and
fell down t r the ground. She made another blow at
Miss Campb.ll, bet Margaret Maseos another servant,
stopped her. I opened the door to let Miss Campbell
run down stairs; she did so, andifaste ted herself in the
kitchen. Mrs. Holland was by the parlour-door, and
I fell in a sort of fainting-fit. Mrs. Holland called out,
44 Miss Campbell, open the door, you wretch, and let
me have some water." I asked her to open the door ;
she did so, and Mrs. Holland then seiztd her by the
hair, threw her d awn on the floor, and broke the comb
in her head; she then seized the poker and the carving
knife, and pursued Miss Campbell up stairs. When I
had an opportunity, I put Miss Catupb,ll into the front
area, to get her into the coal-cellar; afterwards I got Mrs.
Holland to bed, and she was very much exhausted. I
brought Miss Campbell in again, and kept her in the
kitchen, and locked Mrs. Holland's door. Miss Camp-
bell complained very much of her side, back, and head.
On the next day, I took her to my brothel's hcuse, in
the Coannercialaoad; she was six hours in wa.king that
distance. I took her away, because Mrs. Holland took
her oath she would murder Miss Campbell ; she said,
" So help me, Goo, if she stays another night in this
house, I'll murder her r and then she kissed the book.
I never saw Miss Campbell give any provocatian to Mts.
Holland for the taeatment she received. I have heard
Mrs. Holland say, her husband was worth 1,5001. per
annum. The plaintiff had very good clothes.
Mr. Serjeant tra ea wax objected to evidence of value of the clothes.
Mr. Pamirs said; it was to shew that she had been formerly
treated as a Gentlewoman.
The Loan Cause Jeseses.—The mental meemplislinsents con-
ferred on her by her education are better evidence of that than any
dress, however expensive, can be.
The witness was then cross-examined.—Plaintiff was
fed, clothed, and supported, by Mr. Holland ; be at-
tempted in every respect to restrain Mrs. Holland's
violence ; he always treated the plaintiff very kindly ;
he endeavoured to protect her, and struck Mts. Holland
in doing so; Miss Campbell generally took her meals
*with the family, but she was sometin es sent down to
the kitchen;_ Mr. Holland had four children living when
was in his trnlse ; I have never he i• d Miss Campbell
give the lie to Mrs. H Aland ; I lemember hearing Mr.
Holland say he bad advertised for a situation for the
plaintiff; I never heard her refuse to.gti to a situation;
I never threatened to be revenged of Mrs. Holland ; I
never but once denied that I had said she used the
carving knife, but 1 denied it because I was afraid of
her coming to my situation to hurt my character ;• Miss
Campbell went before a Magistrate once, but that was
011 another attempt on her life; Mrs. Holland was com-
mitted oa Miss Campbell's own evidence; bail was
offered, but not taken at that time; I never knew any
thing of the mother of Miss Campbell ; Mrs. Holland's
maiden name was Mary Delahan; I do not know Miss
Campbell's band-writing ;.IL have never heard her say
she amused herself with writing verses on Mrs. Holland.
Mr. Sedum Vaimmun—What, nose of the verses we have
heard from Mr. Phillips in his iipeech?
Mr. Pluturs.-1 never used any verses in my speech.
SerjetainVaocuus.—.-Oh yes, you used a great deal of poetry.
Margaret Mason mimed the former witness in every panics-
ler ; she added, that the pialedff was always called Miss Holland
in the family ; witness understood her to be Mr. Holland's laugh.
ter; plaintiff had been put in the nursery to assist witnali in the
care of the children.
Sarah Waistcoat was a servant in the house when Miss Camp-
bell came from France; there was preparation made far, her as
for a dmighter.
Crom•examined.—Witness had never beard Miss Casepbell use
irritating language.
The rest witness was recalled, and asked by the Clint Andes
why she did not get a coach for the plaintiff? She ..enticed, that
wither of them had any money.—This closed the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Setjeant VAUGHAN, for the defendant, observed,
that if the Jury believed the evidenee that had been
given, they must return a verdict for the plaintiff; but
they could hardly think of awarding her damages to
away considerable amount. Mr. Holland had always
I treated her kindly, be would always be willing to treat
her so, and yet he alone was in law responsible for
I what his wife had done. He was more to be pitied
than hated, because he had such a wife ; and it was
hardly creditable to the plaintiri feelings, that she
should have brought him here as a defendant to answer
`for that which he had done all in his power to prevent.
The case was now in the bands of' the Jury, who,
taking all the circumstances into their consideration,
would administer equal justice between these parties.
The Lotto CHM Joules having stated the nature
of the action, and recapitulated the principal points of
the evslilere to the Jury, observed, that it was for
them, tqcon what they had heard, to do cons; lete jus-
tice to the plaintiff, *ho was unquestionably a most
unfortunate Lady._ There was nothing to thew who
she was.; but it was clear that for five years, at least,
she had been supported by the defendant. Sae was
then entirely unfitted, by tie education she bad received.
from living in the situation to which she was afterwards
reduced. The assault was of the most dreadful kind;
and when the female defendant used the red-hot poker.'
she ran the chance of doing that which would have
been attended with the most fatal coasequences to her.
Fortunately for both the parties, Providence protected
the life of the plaintiff.
The Jury retired for above an hour, and then returned a verdict
for the plaindif.--Damages, 2831. Ist:

MY LONDON talllnanit..
Saturday. *boat 140-or the Gintleiiretriatte have
taken a principal interest In the formatipn of the Lode
don College, or University, assembled at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern. Mr. 81101XelIA11 was in the Chair.
Lord John Russell, Mr. Abereromby, Mr. J .hit Smith.
Mr. Hume, Mr. Hobhou.e, Mr. John Williams, and
some other. Members of Parliament ; Mr. Gurney and
several Gentlemen of the Bar, together with a number .
of Clergymen of the E.tablished Church, m well as
Dissenting Miaisters, Mr. Howard, of Corby Castle,
Dr. Birkbeck, and Mr. Thomas Campbell, were present.
Mr. BIIOUGINAII said, many Gentlemen of great
weight and influence in society had called the public
Attention to the necessity of establishing in this me-
tropolis a College, which would comprehend all the
leading advantages of the two great Universities, toge-
ther with the domestic supervision of the parents, and at
an expense so economical as to bring the benefits of the
establishmentwithin reach of almosteveryclass in society.
Among those who bad co-operated to promote the great
object, one Gentleman present, Mr. Thomas Campbell.
had been most active. He (Mr. Brougham) had made
an application to two prominent Gentlemen of his Ma- .
jesty's Government,-the Chancellor of the Exchequer
and Mr. Huskissok-by wayof wending them whether,
in the event of a formal application being thus transmit.
ted for a Royal Charter to establish a Town University,- -
they would afford hopes of its receiving their recent-
mendat ion? These Gentlemen returned an answer that
if the application for such a Charter were made, they'
should not feel warranted in recommending it •to the
favourable consideration of his Majesty. This reply
was, of coarse, fatal to the first intention of seeking a
Royal Charter. The next course to be taken was to
apply for a Bill in Parliament ; and he had given die
notice of and subsequently introduced such a measure,
which was on the eve of receiving a second marling,
when he received, last Friday morning, information
from the Speaker .of the House of Commons, that
certain forms of Parliament (which were explained)
required the intended measure to be introduced
in the form of a private, and not of a public Bill.-
This information was of course conclusive, and he had
leo alternitive but that to which he resorted on Friday
night--naitiely, to take the • necessary steps to comply
with the forms required in private Bills; and the Speaker
was k nd enough to mention, that he should have every
facility it was in his power to afford, in hastening his
Bill through the preliminary stages. In moving to
have the order for the second reading" of the public
Bill discharged, he had explained, that they had no idea
of founding Fellowships,or conferring degrees or giving
a theological education-that they only wanted: to com-
bine the advantages of collegiate studies with the due
domestic controul of die children by their own parents-
that the three great branches of roily which their Col-
lege was intended to comprehend, were Science,Litera-
tore, and the Arts-that for each of these the children
were to pay only three guineas annually, in addition to
one guinea general entrance money -that the Professors
were to have no sinecures, nor residences provided for
them upon the establishment ; nor were there to be any
religious tests, or doctrinal forms, which would oppose
a barrier to the education of any sect among his Ma-
jesty's subjects. And he had also particularly, dwelt oa
the advantages for medical studies which such aCollege
was calculated to afford. •
Mr. Cox then read Oui plan, as reseed!, described by Mr.
=lm. The capital Intended for the undertaking was esti.
t 4100,000, and the mode of raisin it by transfa able
shares of ilOO each.
I Upon this proposition a long conversation arose. The topics
toodted upon ratted entirely to the executive details of the plan,
aN being agreed upon the necessity end utility of the establishment
of a Metropolitan University, and all avowing their rep:Ones& to
take an active pert in its formation. Bet Duey objected.to saying

• Eilit:DPlßtiv TO THE NIG ell.

We are happy to annonnce the arrivsl in England of
Major Denham and Lieutenant Claprerton, who left
this country in the year 1821, on an exploratory jou- ney
into the interi sr of Central Africa, connected u ids the
ascertaining the source, course, and termination of the
river Niger, which has been an object of geographical,
research more than two thousand years. Mungo Palk
threw a more full and decisive light on this subject
than ever had been made to appear during this long
period; after penetrating through a variety of the king-
doms of Western and Interior Africa, he came at length
to Sego, the capital of Bansbarra, where he beheld
4. the fang-'ought majestic Niger, glittering to the morn-
iog sun, as broad as the Thames at Westminver, and
fl swing slowly to the eastward." He then trace! its
coarse downwards to Silla, and upwards to Bammakoo,
(about a thoto.and miles) where it first became naviga-
ble to an extent of three hundred miles. This, how-
ever, appeared to be only a commencement of this
mighty stream, leaving its subsequent progress in-
volved in lucre tsing mystery. Jackson, Hornemann,'
Tuckey, Bowditch, R.tchie, Lyon, Laing, and now Den-
ham and Clapperton, have all since, by their persevering
efforts, contributed to our Frevions mass of information,
respecting the most celebrated of African streams.'
We understand that Major Dmsham and Mr. Clapper-
ton have ascertained with great certainty, that Lake
Tyad is a great. fresh-water. Lake, having no outlet,
and that it is fed by two large Rivers, one of which,
the Shary, flaws from the same chain of mountains in
which the western branch of the Nile (otherwise the
White Nile) takes its rho. The Shary tuns in a direc-
tion nearly due North ftotn its solo ce to the Lake;
whilst it is ascertained that the other river, called the
Yao, enters the lake on its N.N.W. side. flowing from
the westward ; hut k is not a continuatioo of the Job-
bar, or river of Timbuctoo. These travellers confirm
the account of the Malsornedan Priest, that between
Cana and Nyfe, there is no river-communication.--
Cam is in lat. 13 N. 10ng.9 E. and Succatoo, which
our adventurers subsequently visited, is in 12 N. 5 E.
This town is the capital of a great nation, of which we
appear to have had no previous information, though the
King of the country (whose name is Bello) was much
pleased with the appearance of our countrymen, and,
to their surprise, they saw his house was furnished with
English crockety, which. it appeased, he had obtained
in the way of traffic, with the inhabitants of the Bight
of Benin. He expressed a hope, that a mode would be
found-in which his subjects could trade with the Eng-
lish. His country appeased very productive, and
abounded with cattle. Is further appears, by the infor-
mation collected by Mtssrs. Denham and Clapperton,
that the Timbuctoo river runs S. E. to Nyffe, then
southerly, and empties itself into the Bight of Benin,
which ascertained fact is of much importance, as it
opens a communication with the Atlantic, and will
greatly facilitate the object intended to be pursued by
Maj sr Laing, in the course of the ensuing winter or the
nest spring. Whilst crossing the Desert our travellers
were mach distressed for provisions, yet they have hap-
pily arrived home in tolerable health, having suffered
less from the climate than any of their predecessors in
this arduous enterprise. They were everywhere well
received by 'the natives, who made them various pre-
sents,. which are on their way to England from Malta.
Among thens are five live ostriches, and a beautiful
lirieseflflr King, presented to him by one of the
, , ibu
native ClIneCS.

The illonileur states. that the Duke of Noarnust-
BaRLAND, Prince ESTEARAZY, and M. de WOLIONSZI,
were particularly distinguished at the Coronation for
the richness of their dresses, their decorations, and the
brilliant diamonds on their breasts.

held at the Yarrkshire Sting°, in the New-road, for the
purpose of adopting certain Resolutions relative to the
present state of their wages; when Mr. Iticuaaps was
called to the Chair—after which several Resolutions
were unanimously adopted. The speakers complained
of
.the inadequacy of their wages, and demanded an
advance of 6d. per day. Thep were nearly 4,060 pre-
sent, who were unanimous in their refusal to resume
their labour till their demand was complied with.

institution amounted to 2,095; and the number of per-
sons eiucatrd at th-se schools was 956.000, being an
increase of 2,000 on the whole since the last report.
The Treasurer, •Mr. WATSON, having read his report,
stated that the clear balance nqw in his hands was
.16,0001. The Archbishop of CANTILABUAY, in moving,
that the Report be printed, 'said that this was the 14th
Report since the commencement of the institution.
He observed' that schools increased as churches in-
creased ; that without schools churches would not be
'filled, and without churches schools would not avail.

after he had given his consent to the • Comrnivee, for
tie sale to take place, by rhich delay the Creditors were
prevented from receiving a dividetid. .
A good deal of discussion took place, and it appeared
that Mr. Chattb rs had acted in opposition to the wishes
of the Committee. He a signed as a reason, that the
Committee had refused to give his son a release, which
was the basis upon which he executed a deed, in which
he'cravenanted on their granting him a Letter sof License
to empower them to sell h s proper y, and make it aval-
able to the Cieditins. A motion was cat tied, unani-
mausll, censuring Mr. Chambers for his opposition to

on the voyage of the small-pox. The Admiral's body
WAS preserved until they reached the Stn I wichJslands ;
but the Rulers refused to allow it to be taken on shore ;
it was therefore committed to the deep with the cus

LONDON LITERARY INSTITUTIOIC—Friday evening,
a Meeting was held at the London Coffee•house, for
the purpose of forming an Institution, tinder the ahnve
title, for clerks and others in the middling classes.of
society,similar to thetdechanics' Institutemten
Esq. M.P. was called to the cfrAir, who in an elegant'

Devil's Tam—There is a nee which they call the
Devil's Tree, growing in America; its fruit, in a state
of maturity, is elastic, and when dried by the heft of
the sun, noisily splits, and bursts forth its grains. To
this sport of nature the tree owes its name, for et4he
moment of burstiax, the effect of a piece of artillery
is produced, the noise of which succeeds rapidly, and
is heard tolerably far off. •If its fruit be transplanted
before it is ripe, to a dry place, or exposed on a chim-
ney-piece to a gentle beat, it will have the same effect,
and produce the same phenomenon.
There is now in the garden at the English Academy
in Kilkenny, a similer natural curiosity. A twig of
sixteen or eighteen inches in length, had been indis-
eriminately picked up, list autumn, and thrust into
the earth for the purpose of sustaining a ,carnation. It
proves to bare been a lopping from. an apple tree; and
though net thicker than a pipe shank, is now in full
blostom, and likely to bear fruit.--Quere. From this
:operation of nature, is it possible to propagate fruit-
trees without the labour and uncertainty of grafting ?
TIUIOIIG, MATIS.--SINGULAII IDIOTCe —A few days
'ago a little girl, six years old, suddenly disappeared from
biome; 'the most scrutinizing researches were made in
the neighbourhood without success.. The unhappy
parents, at the expiration of two days, offered a reward
of 25 florins to any person who could give them infor-
mation respecting their lost child. A youth, 16 years
,of age, known by the name of the silly Stepherd (he
had received this appellation from the general belief
that he was an idiot), presented himself to the parents,
and assured them that he knew where the child was to
be found; they followed him to a common about half
a mile distant from their habitation ; the idiot pointed to
a hillock, designating it as the spot where the lost child
was concealed. The distracted father tore away the
fresh earth, and be saw the feet of a human being ; it
was carefully removed from the grave, and the wretched
parents beheld their child deprived of life. Tbe fol-
lowing ate the only particulars that have hitherto been
collected respecting this mysterious and dreadful event
The young shepherd, whose natural imbecility of mind
prevented him from being employed in any other oc•
cupation than intending a few sheep, had been ordered
by his master to remain on the common:till the even-
lug; at about four o'clock hr the afternoon several chil-
dren came to this place, and the shepherd joining them
in their infer ile amusements, it Was at length proposed
to play at what they called a funeral. One of the chil-
dren was to personify the departed individual ; the
shepherd was to hate the twofold occupation of cler-
gyman and sexton, and the others were to be mourners.
The idiot dug a hole four feet and a half in depth, and
very narrow. They seized the unfortunate little girl,
and having placed her, notwithstanding her cries, in
the grave, with her bead downwards, they all ran away,
went to their respective homes, and thought no more
about the poor child. The shepherd remained, filled
up the hole with earth, and then returned to his dwel-
ling. This dreadful occurrence has caused the greatest
sensation in this neighbourhood. The young shepherd
has been sent to prison in Bois k•Duc ; I.e has under-
gone several examinations, but *ll the investigations
only tend to' prove that lie is unable to distrirenare
be-
tween right and wrong. Three children of ti e ages of
nine, eight, and seven, have alsl been examined ; they
'were of the party, but thought, natura ly enough, that
the shepherd would not leave the poor liu'e girl in
the grine.-:artisses, Paper.
