SCARCITY AT MADRAS.
-6..--

The statements respecting the scarcity of rice at Ma-
dras, which we copied yesterday, and the fears etpresseJ
of a famine, are, we are happy to find, greatly exagge-
rauti. The accounts received in the City are from Cal-
cutta of the 22d, and I3engal of the 25th .3.lnuary. The
rice crop had seriously failed in the vicinity of Madras,
and considerably about 13,msbay (as we stated srme
ti ne ago), but slightly in the other rice districts; and
froar the qinmity kit over front previous clops, no fears
were entertained of a famine, though the pressure for
grain at Madras early in January was considerable ;
supplies would, however, no doubt, pour in from the
other poi ts, and we do not find the prices of grain so
much advanced as might be expected.

SOUTHERN MOTION OF THE STARS.

The idea of a soothern motion of the stars, as pro-
mulgated by the Astronomer Royal, has excited some
• interest in the country, and for a long time some defect
in the instruments of the Observatory of Greenwich has
been said to have led to such an idea. We understand,
however, that the subject has undergone a thorough
investigation by some of the members of the new So-
ciety for investigating weather and its varieties, and that
it turns out to be an error owing to the want of a pro.
per subtraction of the necessary refractions.

matic dinner of forty-two covers. The Prince of
Baden, and the Prince Gustavus, son of the Er• King of
Sweden, were present.

THE COVET.

The Comet is rapidly disappearing: it has passed the
North Star, between the Great and Little Bears, at a
point nearly equidistant between the Pole Star and the
more distant of the two stars in the Great Bear, called
the Pointers. It is no longer discerned by the naked eye.
There are certain phenomena in the present Comet
which are of rare occurrence in those eccentric bodies..
When first noticed, about a month since, its course ap-
peared to be northward, with little change in right as-
' cension, whence it was expected it would become cir-
cumpolar, and be visible above the not them horizon.
During the last week the Comet has moved in a retro-
grade direction, describing at the maximum an arc of
ten degrees in right ascension in '24 hours, and declining
southward. From the increased motion, as viewed from
the earth, the Comet must have passed nearer to our
planet at this time, although the motion in its orbit had
dee' eased ; yet being farther from the sun, it has been less
visible. In the present night it will be nearly in opposite
right ascension to the sun, and therefore pass the meri-
dian about midnight ; but the tail in that position being
projected in the direction from the earth, will appear as
the coma surrounding the nucleus. A series of obser-
vations having been made at the Royal Observatory,
these will afford the means of computing the elements
with great accuracy. That indefatigable astronomer,
Dr. Brinkley, has al: eady given the result of his observa-
tions, and deduced approximate elements. The late ob-
servations will sliew, whether its approach to the earth
has changed the tigsre of its orbit, and caused the extra-
ordinary position in the heavens relatively with our planet.

HUNTING.

Mr. Meynell's Hounds meet on Monday, at Bradby ; Thursday.
at Whichnor Park; Saturday, at Blithfield.
The East Essex Fox-hounds, Monday, at Wickham-place ; Thur- '
day, at Bulmer Plough; Saturday, (Feb. 4,) at the White !la.:,
Little Walton.

A few days since a hare was found at Horsey, near Eastbourn',
when two dogs belonging to Davies Gilbert, Esq. and a bitch, the
property of Mr. Jones, were taken to the spot. Good law [win;
allowed, the hare was started. The ground ran over was heavy,
and computed to be at least three miles, and during the course,
puss and her staunch pursuers might have been frequently cover:d
with a sheet. Just, however, as the hare was entering the planta-
tions of Inigo Thomas, Esq. the greyhounds still laying hard a;
her, a fourth dog unfortunately ran in and killed her. So severe
was this match, that Mr. Jones 4 bitch fell dead at its conclusion,
and it was for some time doubtful whether Mr. Gi.bert's younger '
dog would not have experienced a similar fate. The loss of the
bitch will be severely felt in the Eastbourne sporting circle, as sli
was considered equal to any greyhound in the kingdom. Mr. June a
fortunately possesses two of her puppies. The hare is to be pre :-
served and stuffed.

HACKNEY-COACH QUESTION.

A difference of opinion has for some time past existed
among the Magistracy respecting the construction of
the clause allow ing, under certain circumstances, baciq
fare to hackney-coachmen ; and which difference wa
the more unfortunate from the fact that the Act had
made their decision final, and without appeal. With a
view to setting the question at rest, a case was submit-
ted by the Commissioners of Hackney Coaches to the
ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, to which an an-
.swer has just been teturned. The 55th Geo. 111. c. 159.
s. 5. gives the drivers of hackney-coaches discharged
after seven in the evening, between Michaelmas and
Lady-day ; and after rune; between Lady-day and Mi-
chaelmas, at any place beyond the regular continuation
of carriage-way pavement, a certain back fate; but
doubts have arisen on the clause—it being considered
that it gives the option to the persons discharging the
coach or chariot, either of paying back fare to the neatest
extremity of the continued carriage-way pavement, or
to the nearest outstand to the spot where the coach or
chariot shall be discharged.
The following are the circumstances of a case on
which the question has arisen lately at the Hatton-gar-
den Police-office. A coach was hired on the 16th of
November, at the stand in Smithfield, which is on the,
stones, and was driven to and discharged at the regular
standing for hackney-coaches, in the City-road, Wing-
ton, which stand is beyond the continued carriage-way
pavement. and the driver demanded and received Is. for
distance out and Is. for back fare to the nearest extre-
mity of carriage-way pavement; and having been sum-
moned for exacting Is. back fare, being, as urged by
the complainant, entitled to no back fare at all, the Ma-
gistrates entertained doubts as to the proper judgment
to be given.
To the above case the following verbatim answer has
been retut ned :
" Although section the fifth of the statute 55th of Geo. 111. cap.
159, is not so distinctly framed as the clause in the prior Act of the
48th of Geo. 111. cap. 87, which relates to this subject, we never-
theless think the coachman had a right, under the above circum-
stances,to the Is. back fare to the nearest extremity of continued
carriage-way pavement.

by means of the KING'S letter, the operations of the
Society will now be more extensively useful than ever.

CONST V. HARRIS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know what Mr.
Shadwell, on the part of Mr. Harris, had to say, after
reading the deed of 1822?
Mr. SHADWELL had only to say, that Mr. Harris was
confident no more than 12,0001. could be got from any
person as a rent for the Theatre; and as that was now
agreed to be given for it by the provisions of the deed
of 1822, he was willing to pay Mr. Const his aliquot
part, which, for his eighth share in the Theatre, would
amount to 1,5001.

His LORDSHIP observed, that the difficulty arose in
this manner: the deed of 1812 provided that the debts
of the Theatre should be discharged in a certain way ;
therefore, how could a parcel of those individuals, par-
ties to the deed of 1812, subsequently enter into a dif-
ferent arrangement?
Mr. SHADWELL was of opinion that his Lordship's
difficulty might be removed, by being informed that
the creditors to be paid by the profits arising from Mr.
Coast's share, amounting to £6OOO, had agreed to have
the payments postponed.
Mr. Whitton (solicitor for Mr. Const) disclaimed all
knowledge of any such agreement.
Mr. SHADIVELL WWI then unable to say anything
further; therefore, if his Lordship thought the motion
ripe for judgment, he could only leave it in the hands
lof the Court.

His LORDSHIP wished to know if Mr. Const had any
thing to staterespecting the proposal of being paid 13001.?
Mr. Whitton said No.

His LORDSHIP then was of opinion, that as Mr. Hart
was absent, in consequence of ill health, if he were to
give judgment now it would not be satisfactory; there-
fore the better way would be to order that it should
stand for judgment to-morrow, or the first day on which
Mr. Hart might be able to attend.

VITTORIA, JANUARY ::4.

We have for some days enjoyed the utmost tranquil-
lity, in consequence of the severe measures adopted by
the Authorities to suppress the disorders of the lower
class, particularly of the es-national volunteers.
It appears by letters received from Saragossa to-day,
that a serious dispute had arisen between the Royalist
troops. The corps of Capape and that of Mirales had
actually engaged with each other, when several uersons
were killed and wounded on both sides. In consequence
of this affray, the corps of Capape was sent off to Cari-
nera, and that of Mirales to Cinco-Villas, both towns
at some distance from Saragossa.

WATER-SPOUT.

Strathendry Bleaehdeld, near Kirkaldy, Jan. 29.
(=TRACT ►at)X • PRIVATZ 1.11171.10
Yesterday, between twelve and one o'clock (noon),
the sky to the westward presented a considerable gloom,
and the Bishop-hill was crowned with a very heavy
.dense cloud. Between two and three it began to rain,
with every indication of a deluge. I instantly ordered
in a parcel of yarns that had been hung out in the morn-
ing for drying: these were not housed above ten minutes
when a sudden pressure of the atmosphere made the
roof of the boiling-house creak. I ran out to see if any
change had taken place: the rain had ceased, the heavy
cloud on the Bishop was rising from its bed with ma-
jestic buoyancy, the haze had cleared away between the
hill and the lake (Loch Leven), and shewed a water-spout
• of at least Italia mile in diameter, rising perpendicularly
from the bosom of the lake, as dense and dark as mid-
night, while the clear blue sky on both sides, and under
the receptacle, shewed its outline in the most beautiful
manner. It was of short duration. A light breeze from
tae Nr,i di moved it in slow dignified grandeur Isom the
surtare of the lake towards Benardy, when the whole
mass of clouds passed from North to South, and left al
beautiful serene sky " o' bonnie blue."
Thi, morning, when day had dawned so far as to
render the state of the Liver visible, two of the workmen
standing by the sluice, observing me giving directions
to some of the carters, called out :hat there were dis-
.patches this morning fiom Cowrie, " that the muddy
we,tern mail had an reed, with intelligence of an earthly
visitation?* I went down and examined the water,
and found it as the servants said.

From the every-day occurrences, I have been expect-
ingthis ever since the 6th of September. G. I.
• This expression of the workmen alludes to a fact observed on
lomeroccasions. When shocks of earthquake have been felt at
Comfit, the stream from Loch Leven, which passes Stratheudry,
iszs been observed to run muddy—announcing the fact before intel-
ligence eco!cl arrive by any common conveyance.—lt remains to be
"wen whether the indication •oved correct in this instance.

with a wife and family, summoned their parish officers before the
Lotto Ma von, for having refused to give them relief. On examina-
tion their settlements were found clear. One of them had been re-
fused relief, however, because he was a stranger to the Overseer, and
the latter, who was present, knew nothing of his settlement. A
second, with a wife and family, was refused relief by the Overseer
to whom he applied, who told him he must apply to the Board. Ile
did apply to the Board, and they told him he must go about his bu-
' siness. The refusal in the third case was similarly wanton.
The LORD MAYOR strongly animadverted on this mode of treating
the poor, which he had reason to believe was but too prevalent. The
parish officers must not be allowed to presume all the poor to he
criminals, and treat them as such ; or be sanctioned in their practice
of driving them from post to pillar, with the view of getting rid of
them, although their settlements were clear and undisputed, and
they were willing to work. Numbers of the poor were driven to
the 41ternatives of either starving or robbing, and was it surprising
that there were in our jails such numbers who, having been at first
driven to rob from necessity, contracted a habit, and afterwards
robbed from choice? Ills Lordship directed that the complainants
should be relieved immediately, and desired that in future relief
might be given to applicants in the first instance, and that their
claims might be scrutinised afterwards, for the poor were nut to
wait until parish officers were satisfied of their validity.
Jane Moor, the servant girl charged with robbing the house of
her master, Mr. Kirwan, of an immense quantity or plate, was
fully committed.

HATION-GARDEN.

John Strait, a painter and, lazier, was brought up by the Parish
Officers of St. Andrew's, liol orn, charged with having deserted
his wife and three children. . Carr, the Overseer, stated, that
three years ago the prisoner absconded without any assignable mo-
tive, and his wife was obliged to go to service, and the children
became chargeable to the Parish. During this period of his deser-
tion, he was in good circumstances, and within the last six months,
he received a legacy of nearly £3OO, which he has been spending
in the most dissolute manner. The prisoner heard the statement,
and viewed his children, with the most callous indifference, and re-
fused to give any remuneration to the Parish. The Magistrate ob-
served, that if he committed him under the Vagrant Act, at the
expiration of three months he would be relieved from all obliga-
tions ; whereas, by committing him to the Sessions (should he still
refuse to come to terms), the period of his imprisonment might be
prolonged.—lle was accordingly committed to the Sessions.
J. Nicholls and H. Matthews, apprentices to Mr. Itolph, butcher,
in Pray-street, Clerkenwell, whose premises adjoin the burying-,
ground, were charged with stealing two dead bodies therefrom.—t
The facts were not sufficiently established against the former; but
the latter was ordered to find bail.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday the driver of the hackney-coach No. 96 was fined in
the penalty of 10s. with costs, for being absent from his coach
while in attendance at the King's Theatre for a party, on the night
of the 24th ult. In delivering this decision, Mr. WHITE, the pre-
siding Magistrate, recited a clause of the Hackney coach Act, be-
fore little known, we believe, to the Public, for the regulation of
those vehicles while attending at places of public amusement. This
clause directs, that if any hackney-coach or chariot, so attending,
whether hired or not, shall be found without the driver, such car-
riage may be driven away to the nearest green-yard or place of de.
posit, and that a fine not exceeding hve pounds shall be imposed
on the owner, for defraying which, if not paid, the said carriage
and horses shall be made liable. Mr. WHITE fined the defendant in,
this case 10s. only, because he was willing at first to try by lenient,
means to remove an evil equally great to the parties retaining the,
coach and to the Public in general; hut if that was found inade-
quate, he must have recourse to the full penalty.

BOW-STREET.

GAMS—Acornxa AIILGUN, &C.—A man, who gave his name
Thomas Payne, was brought in by Davis, one of the day patrol, who
had just met him in Oxford-street, carrying a bag, in which were
seven pheasants, an air-gun, and a pewter pint pot. The air-gun
was very much like that one of which the Public have lately heard
so much. The pheasants appeared to have been newly killed, and
the pint pot bore the mark of a publican at Edgware.
The prisoner in his defence, said one " Squire A rrowsmith" had
given hint the pheasants and the air-gun to carry to a Mr. Moore's,
in Oxford-street; and he produced a paper purporting to be Squire
Arrowsmith's license for killing game. As to the pint pot, that had,
some how or other, got into the bag without his knowledge or con-
sent; and he professed himself utterly at a loss to account for its
presence.—The Magistrate ordered him to be detained until he
should give a better account of the matter.
London, England, 1824-02-06

THE KING W. JOHN ANDERSOIT.

Mr. JESSOP on a former. day obtained a Rule calling
on the prosecutors to shew cause why the defendant,
who stands committed by the Justices of Norwich on a
charge of receiving stolen goods, viz. a quant'ty of silk
from a man and his wife, should not be admitted to
bail. The application was made on affidavits, stating
that the charge against the defendant was (minded
upon inconsistent statements. The bargain said to have
been entered into for receiving the g3ods was made be-
fore the robbery was committed. (hi the whole it was
alledged, that there was not sufficient matter to justify
the Magistrates in committing the man. It was also
urged, that the defendant, who had received many
dangerous wounds at the battle of Nate, 'Go, was on
that account greatly injured by confinen.e.it in prison.
Mr. H. COOPER this day shewed cause against the
rule. He was prepared with long affidavits to justify
the commitment, and prove that the defendant might
not to be bailed. In Norwich, persons were deeply in-
tere,ted in the silk trade, and in consequence of depre-
dations committed upon the manufacturers, the Ma-
gistrates could not be too vigilant in securing offenders,
and bringing them to justice. The Learned Counsel
read the depositions, by which it appeared the defen-
dant had been seen with the person charged with steal-
ing the silk a shoi t time before the robbery.
The COURT not wishing to prejudice the defendant
by going into a discussion of the charges, were induces'
to admit him to bail. They accordingly ordered the
idefendant to be bailed, taking his own recognizance in
801. and two others in 201. each.

DRAM V. wunriacta.

This was an action on the case against the Sheriff of
'Middlesea,. for selling, after notice, under a writ of
Seri facial, goods belonging to the plaintiff. There
was also a count in trover. This case was tried before
the Lord Chief Justice, at Westminster, at the last sit-
tings, when it appeared that the writ was issued to levy
a debt of 411. 10s. on the goods and chattels of a per-
son of the name of Greathead, and that when the officer
went to the house to execute it, Mrs. Greathead told
him that the furniture in the house was not her husband's
property, but the property of the plaintiff, who lent it
to her, to get her living by doing so. A notice was
soon after sent to the Sheriff not to sell the goods, as
they belonged to the plaintiff, but the Sheriff disregarded
the notice, and sold them. For the defendant, it was
snggested that this action could not be maintained,
inasmuch as due notice was not given to the Sheriff
that Greathead had some interest in the furniture, which
interest the Sheriff might lawfully sell. This objection
prevailed, and the plaintiff was nonsuited.
Mr. GOMM now moved for a new trial, on the
ground that due notice had been given to the Sherif,
and that the furniture having been merely lent to Mrs.
Greathead, her husband had no interest in it whatever-

Mr. Justice Barter.—Did you in your notice tea the Shear
what interest you had?
Mr. Gummy—The notice stated that the goods were the
tiff's, and that the Sheriff had no right to sell them—Role

The Opera of Der Fieisciutz was repeated lost night
with good effect. The chordsses told remarkably well,
and the dramatic alterations which the Piece has re-
ceived add greatly to its interest. The most popular
pieces were greatly applauded, as was the announcement
for the nest night. in the Farce of the Citizen, Miss
ISABELLA PATOB made her first appearance for the sea-
son, in the part of Maria, and was very flatteringly
re-
ceived. The laughter of the audience was excessive at
her pretended rage upon being called a virtuo.o. BROWNE

COVENT-GARDEN.

The Stroller was the principal performance at this
House last night, the new actress, Mrs. Sracitaan, taking
the part of Mrs. Holler. In this character, which as
one sufficiently trying to the abilities of a publi: per-
former, Mrs. SLOMAN acquitted herself in a very re-
spectable style. Her deportment was very lady-like
and becoming, and the concluding scene was sustained
with appropriate art and feeling. The fine, and highly-
wrought acting of Youao in this interesting play is too
well known to require any additional encomium. It
will suffice to say, that his portraiture of the broken-
hearted Stranger last night glowed with the sane touches
of genuine pathos which have ever belonged to it.
