UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Mary Anne Ball, who cohabits with a person named
Honeyman, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, R. J. CIiAM•
Esq. charged with having violentlp assaulted Mrs. Whitmee,
who, it will be recollected, attended at this office on Friday last,
accompanied by her husband, for the purpose of applying fora war-
rant for her apprehension.
The particulars of this case have been already detailed. After a
great deal of violent abuse between Mrs. Whitmee and the girl, the
Magistrate indignantly discharged the warrant, saying that there
was not a pin to choose between the two women. Then addressing
Mr. Whitmee, he observed. that it was a pity he did not let the twp
women fight it out between themselves, u it was all about whii
should have the man. _
Mr. Whitmee (with surprise)-4, What, Sir! see my dear wife
torn to pieces, like a mouse in the talons of a cat, by that vile wo-
man? No, no, Sir; I could stand anything but that."
Mr. CNAMIIIRI here remarked, that after having been so scan-
dalously treated by his wife, he thought Mr. Whitmee would have
done tight by letting her stand the consequence of enticiug another
man away from the woman with whom he cohabited.
Mr. Whitmee said, that he could not perceive how he had been
ill-treated by his wife?
The 1%1 souTaare.-0 Why, Mr. Whitmee, you must be aviare
that we have a proof Isere of the fact of your wife having given in-
formation to the thieves who robbed you, that the officers were on
the look-out for them ; and I now tell you, Mr. Whitmee" added
the Magistrate, ,‘ that had it not beeu for that woman, the thieves
would have been apprehended, and you would have had your pro.
perry restored."—The defendant was then discharged.

right years ago, a Gentleman of the name of Nash,
residing in Noble•street, London, who had rather ex-
tensive mercantile transactions in the West Riding of
Yorkshire, became insolvent from adverse circum-
stances, and made a composition with his creditors of
10s. in the pound, for which they gave him a release
from any further claim. Since that time fortune has
smiled upon his undertakings, and on Monday se'nnight
he gave his principal creditors an invitation to dinner,
at the Rose and Crown, in Huddersfield, when he an-
nounced his intention to pay all his debts in .full, and
presented those present with checks upon his banker
to the amount of several thousand pounds. It is, scarcely
necessary to add, that the entertainment which followed
was enjoyed by all patties; and the creditors, to mark
their sense of his honourable conduct, have resolved tot
present Mr. Nash with a splendid piece of plate, of the
value of 100 sovereigns, bearing an appropriate inscrip-.
tion, in which a just compliment will be paid to his ho-
nour and probity.
The CHRISTMAS Box was money gathered in a Box
to provide Incases at this festive season ; and servants,
who else were unable to defray them, were allowed the
piivilege of collecting from the bounty of other;.
The custom may probably be traced to the Roman
Pojoralia.

CHRISTMAS. CHEER.

Oh, what a 'ease! the Meon to-night
Spreads o'er the ♦ile her silrery light :
And, bark ! I catch, though far and &int,
A doubtful tone of cheer er plaint !

Open the lattice, Ellen dear,
And tell me, do I dream or hear?
The night is wandering breeze
Is moaning through our coppice trees!
Nay, 'tis no fancy—now 'tit 111411—
Clearand more clear the fitful strain,
SAnd now distinct, and loud and long.
Right welcome! 'tis the wassail song !
And now are hushl the song, the shout,
And on there comes, a silent rout,
A dark group up the village green,
Like robbers in some moonlight scene!
Who soon, along the straggling street,
In turn, each modest mansion greet,
And raise the carol shout of yore
To sheltering roof and open doer !
Where'er they turn—a welcome band—
They bkss the Master's liberal hand,
The Mistress kind, the Children dear,
The Christmas glee, and fireside cheer!
Now, here they are, by our own gate,
Beneath our eaves they must not wait.
Away! let every hand prepare,
For every hand some gifi must bear!
The-biscuit-wallet one may take,
And one the cheese and Christmas cake;
One fill the foaming pitcher, one
Bear the full cider firkin on !
And, what ! my waken'd puppet here
Oh! give me, nurse, my baby dear—
/n her own tiny hand she'll bear
'!he spicy nutmeg for her share !
Now fur a shout !—all hands are up,
Each lip around shall press the cup,
- To give the wassail's hearty cheer—
" Merry Christmas tide and a happy New Year !"

The Mother and her C►ildren bleu'd,
The babe by each rough hind caresed
Thus, once a year, the rich and poor
Met—where, alas ! they meet no more !

MERCURY.
THE late Mr. JOHN HUNTi.R, the British Oracle
-a- on the subject of Mercury, though he could not allow
Facts to subdue his prejudice, that it made a part of all effectual pre-
Darations for all the forms of the Venereal Disease, says, in his cele-
4ated Work, that he found many cases where a sufficient quantity.
For a cure would kill the P.atient. He therefore generally ordered
the VEGETABLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS' to follow a mer-
curial course. In this he is imitated by the first practitioners of the
''''untrY, as the healthy action of the constitution is by no other
Aletlicine so speedily restored, when its irritability is weakened—
when new diseases arise from Mercury itself—and when nervous,
uaralytic, and consumptive symptoms, menace a lingering and mi-
serable death. The Uzituitie Medicine, which is a safe though a
powerful substitute for 51ercury in all cases, is sold by THOMAS
rornast, nephew and successor to the late Isaac Swainson, at No.
Berners-street, Oxford.streer, at 13s. a bottle; and by all the
1-putable 111cdicine Venders in the United Kingdom; and the

„ . . . . .
Sutherland put himself at the head of the paiti, and
taking the man Sambo (the runaway guide), immedi:
ately after huh, he gave directions ,thsa every whit
should place himself behind one of the blick shots, iii
which Manner we advanced to the Pembroke negro:
grounds and there took refreshment. After which we
te-assembled, and Mr. Sutherland expressed a wish to
have some of the best black shots next hisnseh, tom%
the narrator offered to act near him, but this WAS op.
posed by two brown men, who seemed tenacious of
their posts, and the narrator retired to his former sta.
lion. The ratty then proceeded, in the greatest toga:
larity and silence, for nearly three miles, when a repo
said,' Softly Massa, 'gagement da come!' Immediate:7
after which, several of the negroes said they smelt fit e,or
smoke, whiCh was strongly indicative of their anilmat
being at hand.
” At this Moment the party was at the boltorn f
gradual ascent, quite Clear of bush or under% pod, but
thickly studded with honey-comb rocks. The party
ascended in Indian file, there being no possibility of No
going abreast, and the first had nearly reached the sum.
mit when suddenly a 4 hurrah' was heard, and (very cliF.
tinctly)exclamations of 'We have gun as welt as Buckra.'
Immediately after this they fired, when our party fell
back in confusion; and those behind found it difficult
to keep their footing. Not an individual of the run-
aways, in clo,e ambush, was seen by the narrator; but
it is evident from their elevated situation to that of the
patty, that had further temerity been displayed on the
occasion, not one would have been left to tell the tale.
A galling fire could have been kept up without the
smallest hope of retaliation, or of taking one of them;
to add to the strength of this opinion, unfortunately,
several date negroes of the party were totally unac-
quainted with the use of fire-arms. Mr. Sutherland
had been mortally wounded by the first shot previous
to the confusion, and a negto belonging to the Good
Hope estate was wounded. Mr. Gallinaore is now miss.
ing, and it is scarcely probable that he can be alive."

CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS for recent Colds, ob-
stinate Coughs, and confirmed Asthmas, stand unrivalled.

ever obstinate, and all disorders of the Breast and Lungs, Con
-
sealed Phlegm, Acrimony in the Fluids, and Obstructions in the
Glands, are gently and safely discharged by easy expectoration.
Wheezing. and Uneasiness in Breathing are speedily removed by a
few doses. It never disagrees with the stomach; a common Cold

By MARY RUSSELL MITFORD,

" Miss Mitford's elegant little volume is just in unison with the
time: it is a gallery of pictures, landscapes, fresh, glowing, and
entirely English portraits, likenesses we doubt not, all simply but
sweetly coloured% in short, a book to make us forget the hurry, the
bustle, the noise around, in the leaves, tall old trees, and rich mea-
dows, of het delightful Village."—Literary Gazette.
" This is an engaging volume, full of feeling, spirit, and vivacity ;
and the descriptions of t ural scenery and rural life, are vivid and
glowing."—New Monthly Magazine, June, 1824.
These Sketches,' we are of opinion, will, ere long, be ex-
tremely popular ; for they are hig:ily finished ones, and evince Infi-
nite taste, judgment, and feeling. They are somewhat in the
manner of Geoffry Crayon; but, to our liking, are far more in-
, teresting."— Examiner.

THE LATE ACCIDENT AT MANCHESTER.

Sunday sennight, the bodies of the killed, by the
late accident, were interred in the various burying-
grounds in Salford and Manchester, and their funerals
were attended and followed by immense and sympa-
thizing crowds.
During the whole of the day, the ground adjacent to
Mr. Gough's factory was crowded with multitudes of
people, who stood for hours gazing on the place which
had been fatal to so many ; and as last as one group
disappeared another filled up the vacant place. Indeed,
so great and general was the interest excited through
all parts of the town and country, that in every direc-
tion were to be seen large assemblages of strangers in-
quiring the way to the fatal factory. Nothing, how-
ever, could be more peaceable and orderly than the
conduct of the parties, and though Police-officers were
on the alert, they had no occasion to shew their authority.
The melancholy subject was very appropriately in-
troduced into the sermons by the preachers in almost
every place of worship in the town and neighbourhood.
The Churchwardens of St. Stephen's, in Salford, granted
five pounds of the Sacrament money collected in that
church, towards the relief of the surviving sufferers,
and the poor relations of the killed.

On the same evening a sermon was preached at the
Methodist Chapel, Great Bridgewater-street, by the
Rev. George Marsden, on the awful event that hap-
pened to the unfortunate sufferers at Oldfield-lane. It
was announced in the morning that he would preach
from the following words in St. Luke's Gospel, chap.
13. ver. 4.5:—" Or those eighteen, upon whom the
tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they
were sinaers above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem ? I
tell you nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all like-
wise perish." Such a feeling was manifested, particularly
by the young people, that the chapel was crowded to
excess, when a suitable and pathetic sermon was de-
livered by the Reverend Gentleman, and a collection
made in going out of the chapel for the relief of those
who were now suffering, and the friends of those who
have suffered.

At a late meeting of the Cheshire Whig Club, the
health of the Earl GROSVENOR was given, with an apo-
logy for his absence, first, by the Chairman stating it
to be owing to a domestic affliction—:-which was subse-
quently confirmed by the nominee of one of his Lord-
ship's boroughs, who is represented to have said, that
" he had reason to know that his Lordship regretted
exceedingly being- prevented the pleasure of meeting
the Club on that occasion," and adding that " the De-
claration then agreed to by the Club,was sure to meet
with his Lorthhip's concurrence." After this, strange
as it may seem, there appears in the papers, a letter
from his Lordship's son, Lord BELGRAVE, addressed to
the Secretary of the Club, and dated four days previous
to the Meeting, condemning its principles and proceed-
ings in no very unreserved terms, and actually with-
drawing his name from it!

HAYMARKEr THEATRE.

Mr. HAMBLIN, who played some years ago at Drury-
Lane Theatre in a style which gained him considerable
reputation, and who has since distinguished himself in
all the leading characters on the Dublin Stage, made
his first appearance last night on these boards as the re-
presentative of Hamlet. His conception of the difficult
character in which he appeared upon this occasion was
exceedingly correct, and his performance throughout
eminently successful. In the two first acts he seemed to
labour under some want of self-possession and confi-
dence in his own powers; but as the Play advanced,
what had been comparatively feeble became animated
and energetic. The scene with his mother was the most
prominent of his whole performance. Nothing could be
more effective than the manner in which he harrowed
up the remorseless feelings of his guilty parent. The
scene too in which the Players are introduced to the
Court of Denmark, is worthy of every commendation:
The other characters were adequately supported.—Mr.
DowTois's Grave-digger is well known, and needs no
comment. The Oplselia of the night was Miss KILLY.
Her transcendent abilities imparted to the character she
sustained upon this occasion, all the interest it is capa-
ble of receiving. Mrs. GLOVER played the Queen, and
with good effect. The Play was very well received.

By a private letter from Sincapere, we learn that the
lion. Company's Resident, Mr. CRAWFORD, has made a
strong representation to the Bengal Government, on the
propriety of seizing upon two provinces at the neck of
the Malay peninsula, at present in the possession of tlie
Burmese: and that these provinces may afterwards be
retained by the British Government, or delivered over
to their old masters, the Siamese, upon condition that
they permit a free transit to British goods into that part
of the country. Should this arrangement be followed
up, it will put our Government in possession of one of
the very finest harbours in all India, within not more
than 150 miles of the capital of Siam, towards which
there is an easy means of conveyance for nearly two-
thirds of the way, by a fine navigable river, and by this
means the trade of Great Britain will be greatly ex-
tended in a part of the world ft.= which hitherto kills
been virtually excluded. •

FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 17.

The plan which has been long in agitation, to esta-
blish a bank in this city, seems now likely to be accom-
plished. It is affirmed that six of the principal bankers
have agreed on some of the regulations.
Our Government shews great strictness in promoting
good morals. The public have severely criticised the
prohibition of the women to appear at Church without
black hoods, and veils of the same colour : but all good
citizens have applauded the prohibition to celebrate
masses after midnight in the Church of the Apostles,
which were used to give occasion to many irregularities.

M A RLBOROUGH-STREET.

Saturday morning, Mr. Cole, the coachmaker, in Portland-street,
applied to the Magistrate, Mr. Drca, for advice bow to act under
the following unpleasant circumstances :
Mr. Cole stated, that a few days ago, a young Gent!email drove
up to his manufactory in Portland-place,in a handsome dennet, said
his name was Clifford, that he was a Lieutenant in the 7th Hussars,
and that he wanted to dispose of his dennet, as it did not altoge-
ther suit him. Witness inspected the carriage, and finally agreed
to purchSse it, and gave a check to his banker for the purchase-
money. In a day or two after, he received a letter from Mr. Best,
a livery-stable-keeper in the Westminster-road, giving him notice
that unless be immediately restored the dennet to him (Mr. Best),
he should proceed against him for its recovery, it having been stolen
from him. Witness called on Mr. Best, and learned that this said
Lieutenant Clifford had hired the horse and dennet in question at
his stables, for a day, to go to Hampton, and that neither the horse
nor the dennet bad since been returned. Mr. Cole, under those
circumstances, bad waited upon the Magistrate to know whether or
not he was hound to deliver up the dennet, having given a fair
value for it?

Mr. DYER said be would recommend Mr. Cole to apply to his

Carpe diem—
Be prompt!, wise.
WHEN Science began to explore the complicated
machinery of Man, she was speedily entangled in a laby-
rinth of mysterious confusion, from which intellectual perseverance
alone emancipated her. Ignorance and empiricism, however, still
oppose their venomous hostility, and the prejudice of weak minds,
in some measure, encourages their audacity. As Truth is to False-
hood—so may our public statements be compared with their un-
qualified pretensions, and to expose their fallacies, we have not
hesitated to avow ourselves as practitioners in a class of Diseases
which endanger the mystic evolutions of Nature. To be brief :
we are Members of the London College of Surgeons, can establish
Cie integrity of our Character upon the success of Twenty Vein:
practical experience, and announce the grateful testimony of tease
in whom long suffering had nearly extinguished every hope of relief.
We pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its tn-
cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterized by every
doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much neg-
lected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully and studiously
considered, as have also those delicate and important sympathies
which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have
been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating
tyranny of a tropical atmosphere—the natural bias of constitution
—the imprudence of gaiety—or the more alarming results of a pro-
pensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which
iv marked by a gradual dereliction «f the animal powers. To'all
who arc thus circumstanced, ..nd more especially to such as are
aspirants fur connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our
Commentaries, Ist, The "Ezis of Lffe, for the one Sex; or, 2nd,
llygeituta, exclusively addressed to Females; the perusal of which
must prove beneficial to their moral happiness. These Books may

" Captain Andre Dramandopoulo, arrived here from
Zante, in sixteen days, states that at the day of his de-
parture he spoke to Captain Cazzaro, who left Syra on
the 17th, who saw an Egyptian corvette enter, which
was taken by the Greeks in the battle of the 6th Sept.
near Stanchio. The Egyptian flat, with all its transports,
were at anchor in the toads ; when they saw the Greeks
approaching the Egyptians formed their line; the ac-
tion was very obstinate, but it finished in the burning
of five or six of the Egyptian men of war, and
eighteen of their transports. The Greeks also took
about thirty other transports. The fleet of the Captain
Pacha was at anchor, doting the combat, in the Bay cf
Boudroun, and remained quite inactive.

BOW-STREET.

. Yesterday morning, among the night charges from St. Martin's
Watch-house, was a well-dressed but very simple looking young
man, named Jam Curnew, who was charged with having been
found (solos let ft be understood) In the bed of Mrs. Pierrepoint,
the landlady of the Cock and Bottle, a very respectable public.
house, in the Strand.
The prisoner stood pale and trembling before the Magistrate,
and seemed as much alarmed as though he bad incurred the risk of

capital punishment, and that it was to be inflicted instanter. Wheu
called upon to speak, he began by craving pardon in a strong Cor-
nish dialect, of " His Honour," of Mrs. Pierrepointt and even the
watchmen, or anybody else whom he might unwittingly have
-offended. He was a stranger in London ; and if he had broken the
law, be hoped Goo and his excellent Honour would pardon him.
Sir It. Biome, somewhat stitch at the singular manner and ad-
dress of the prisoner, put several questions, and elicited from him,
thit be had just arrived in London from Plymouth, on an errand
of considerable consequence. It wis nothing less than to get a
letter conveyed to the Yiog, to inforarnis Majesty of certain sod-

tioos words yid& bad been utteredilya disloyal asemaintsnee at
his (prisoner's) in Cornwall. He had travelled to Plymouth, to
obtain proper advice how to act in such a busine,s, and was desired
by Capt. Poynder, of the man-of-war, by all Means to come to
London, and get some great man to present his letter to the King
and hither he had journeyed for that potpose. doing asked what
the seditious words were which he had journeyed so far to comma.
nicate? be said that the man against whom he complained, sista,
tog of the Coronation of George the Fourth, bid mentioned his
Majesty's name in very disrespectful terms.
The earnest and serious manner in which this was told provoked
a loud laugh at the expense of tine simple narrator.
He went on to say that he had fixed upon Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt,
he being a Cornish Gentleman, as the " great man" most fit to
present his letter.
Sir R. Brame asked him how he came to take possession of Mrs,
Plerrepoint's bed? Hoosaid, that having lost his shoes, he was de.
termined not to leave the house until he got them, and being eery
tired, he walked up stairs to secure the best birth he could find.
' Sir 11. Marna told him he must be taught that he had dude es,.
ceedingly wrong, and ordered him to be locked up, cisserviug pr!.
vately to Mrs. Pierrepoint, that a couple of hours lodging i!)
iron-cased apartment contiguous to the office, would perhaps a
him good.
In the course of the morning the prisoner was brought in again,
and after a few admonitory words, was told that he was discharged,
upon which he dropped upon his knee and returned thanks to
" His Honour," and then walked out of the office with the tears
rolling down his cheeks.

TURKEY.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE
" CoNSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11, 1824.
" The decline of the Ottoman Empire might natu-
rally be expected from the evil tendency of her politi•
cal institutions ; but the rapid progress of decay is no
less obvious than surprising. An increasing misery, a
decreasing population, an exhausted treasury, a depre-
ciated currency, are the foremost symptoms of this Em-
pire's ruin.
"The population of Constantinople has considerably
diminished within the last six years-84.0,000 is sup-
posed to be the present number of inhabitants, inclu-
sive of 120,000 Greeks, 90,000 Armenians, 50,000
Jews, and 2,000 Franks. The entire population of
European Turkey does not exceed eight millions. The
remedy which the Sultan Selim applied to the national
distress in 1807 (the alteration in the currency), la as, the
first cause of the national decline, which the reign
of the present Emperor has fatally developed.—
Mahmoud, without the genius of Selitn, persisted in
the pernicious practice of fabricating money with a
difference of sixty per cent. between its nominal and in-
trinsic value. So great was the depreciation at the demise
of Selim, that the piastre lark fell limn 50 to 18 sous.
In three months a new species of money is to be issued,
20 per cent. inferior to the old. The people are enraged..
The most moderate talk with Turkish indifference of a
revolution and whenever that occurs, the race of
Osman shall probably be extinguished—and ere ten
years (if the pi ophecies of Cubbett were not before me),
I sho did .predict the seat of the Turkish Government
shall be on the other side of the Bosphorus. The TUrks
nave now lost their richest Province;—Egypt yields
