SLIB-FLUVIAL BRIDGES.

The construction of a sub-maiirru bridge, like that
h ch is now eeciiting under the Thames, is not with-
o.it example in hiitorv. According to Drodorus of Si•
c ly, Semiramis caused to be constructed a bridge under
the Euphrates, in order to be able to repair secretly
Iron one to the other of the two palaces, which were
bulk upon each bauk of the river. This road was 300
stadia in length, 19 in breadth, 12 in height, and was
finished in 260 days.

ROWING MATCH.
The contest between Messrs. Warren and Anson to row against
Messrs. Ford and Carrington, took place yesterday, from Ali'thank
to a Lock off Twickenham, and return to Putney. It was for e 0
sovereigns a-side. The formeerowed in yellow, and the other in
red. The unfavourable state of the weather prevented the match
from being very attractive, but it was a well-contested race. The
boats kept together to Kew-bridge, when the red lid, but were
passed again at Twickenham, when the tng became very interest-
ing, and it was wen by the yellow getting first through the bridge
by about fifty yards. The rowers were completely soaked.

- FOR COLDS, COUGHS, ASTHMAS, &c.
THE PECTORAL ELlXlR.—Experience, during
a very long period, has incontestibly proved the superior ef-
ficacy of this Medicine, in all Cases of COLDS, COUGHS, and
ASTI' Al AT I C AFFECTIONS. By promoting gentle expectora-
don, it very shortly relieves the Patient of a slight or recent Cold,
and a few doses are generaay sufficient to remove those which neg-
lect
has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are ac-
companied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serioucaytnp-
toms. Its peculiar balsamic powers tend to heal soreness, and allay
stie irritation of the lungs, in cases of Cough; and in Asthmatic Af-
fections it assists and gives freedom to the Breath.

EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER.

• !gamins Fesscasr 26.
•
The military executive commission is Lard at work,
and there is scarcely a day that it does not sit to try
either individaals who have' been heard uttering ex-
pressions of discontent against the Government, or else
persons accused of having stolen to the value of 34 ma-
ravectis (five sous)2ld. Two unfortunate devils, who had
stolen some clothes,-are this day to suffer on thefgibbet,
and ,a nrirrable woman who purloined a mortar is
shortly to undergo the same fate. There are few that
afprove of this extremely rigorous punishment ; but it
is said, that midi examples are cecessary, for
the misery is so great, that one could scarcely venture
out at noon-day without running the risk of being
robbed. A man has been taken up and put into prison
for having said in public, that he himself had seen at
Cadiz (from which he has just arrived) the English
capture the Asia and the Achilles. At Uurgos a notary
has been clapped into pt isou, on whom these was found
sr copy of the amnesty, which, it is said, was about to
he published, and copies of which had been circulated-
throughout the country. The police has taken the
weatest pains to discover who were the persons that
hut disttibuted this amnesty, but hitherto their efforts
have been fruitless.

POTTERY RACES.

SUI2IIEY SFSSIO.NS, JAN. 23.
. . •

Thomas Waller, a'f'ire porfer, in the employment of
the Royal Exchange Insurance Company, was indicted
for assaulting, Nicholas Edwin, a Police Constable, in
the execution of his office, at a fire, which happened at
a timber-yard, in Bennet-street, Blackfriars-road, on the
4thof.tiovember last.

Nicholas Edwin stated, that he was a Police Con-
stable of Union-Hall. On the sth of November, he was
present at the fire in Bennet-street; there was an im-
mense mob collected, and the police and parish con-
stables formed a line to assist the operations of the fire-
men in the discharge of their duty, to prevent robberies.
He saw Waller thrusting violently through the mob,
and put up his stick to prevent his coming that way; upon
which the defendant struck him with his clenched fist
in the face, broke his stick, and tore his coat to pieces.
Hall, the head constable, then desired him to be taken
to the watch-house. The defendant had on a dark drab
great coat, ancl had no appearance of being a fireman;
but on the way to the watch•house he unbuttoned his
coat, and attempted to take out his, badge, which was
suspended to a chain worn about his neck. At the
watch-house Hall asked the foreman of the firemen if
the defendant was not drunk, and was told that he was
the worse for liquor.
Cross-examined.—He knew the livery of the Royal
Exchange Company ; there was nothing in the dress of
the defendant to distinguish him as being a fireman.
The crowd was very great, and by the violence of Wal-
ler the ,pressure became increased. He did not strike
till he was struck. 'Waller never said he wa; a fireman.
- Hall, the chief constable of Union-Hall, said, ho' was
in the habit of attending 100 fires in a year, and he bad
always: fomid that robberies were most frequent at
them. It was usual for firemen to bring a friend with
them, and if Thomas, a fireman, with whom the• plain-
tiff was, had said that Waller was a fireman, he would
have been suffered to pass without opposition ; but he
did not say alto he was till after he had struck Edwin.
At the watch-house he behaved like a drunken man,
by pulling off his clothes. Wright, the foreman, ad-
mitted that the defendant was drunk. At a few yards
distance witness saw the violence of Waller, and before
he could get up to him, the defendant struck Edwin in
the face. There were at least 500 thieies at the fire
on that occasion.

Clarke, another officer; Jones, a Bow-street parole;
and Williams, a parish constable, all corroborated the
foregoing statement.
Several s itnesses were called by the defendant's
Counsel, to endeavour to prove that the assault was first
committed by the prosecutor, but they were not bene-
ficial to the defendant's case.

The CHAIRMAN having summed up the evidence, the
Jury found the prisoner Guilty.--The Court, taking
into coibideration the recommendation of the prosecutor
as well as the Jury, under all the circumstances sen-
tenced the defendant to pay a fine of 64. Bd. to 'the King.

SOUTH AMERICA.

We have received Philadelphia Papers to the 20th
ult. and extract from them* the following paragraphs:

NEW YORK, DECEMBER 16.
Faou Cpaacoa.—The Matteawan, Captain Coffin,
arrived here yesterday from Curacoa, bringing Papers
of.that place to the 15th ult. The schooner Tartan, be-
lotortrte this port, had touched at Cursive from Porto
Cavell°, where she sold her cargo, and was chartered,
along with a fleet of Colombian vessels, to carry the
Captured troops to st. Jago, Cuba. • The particulars of
the attack on Porto Cavallo are given in the -Curisoa
Papers, All. the small vessels in port were taken, and
their commanders made prisoners.
The frigate Bay-len, which served as a pontoon, was
set 'fire to by the vanquished. The fortress of St. Felipe
teased firing a-s soon as the music of the victorious'
aiMy seas -heard tei mingle its notes with the air; and
aessarincea-that all was lost, the miserable survivors
capitulated to the Colombian Generals. The principal
pan Of the Spanish army were in the city at the time of
the assault, nearly the whole of which .perished or fell
into the hands of the victors. General Calzada is among
the prisoners. The Government of Porto Rico had
issued a Decree, offering an asylum to the Spaniards
who had been expelled from the Colombian territories.
Several vessels were loaded at Curacna, waiting the
official receipt of the capture of Porto Cavello, for which
place they were destined.
GLNERAL Monatcs.—There appears to 1); some
truth in the report that this General, in violation of his
pledge not to serve sgainst the Patriots of Colombia,
was actually collecting a force at Havannah to attack
that Republic. A letter from St. J.ign, Cuba, October
- 15th; published in the Jamaica Pape* 5, mentions arrivals
the:e in two vessels from Havanna!) of 47,000 dollars
for Morales, and that 4,000 troops had reached Prin-
iipe, on their way to St. Jago.—American Paper.

I V.SOL FENT DEl37'Ol?S' COURT, JAN. 20. •

William Cozens was opposed by Mr. Henry Eaton,
who lead been his attorney, for a debt of £5O, the ba-
bore of his bill of costs.
The insolvent was examined by Mr. Eaton, and stated
tb at he carried on business as a linen •draper at Kensing-
ton ; that he was acquainted with Thomas Thurtell and
Probert since the year 1813; Probert owes him about
£lO2 ; he discounted two bills of exchange for Thomas
'Donnell ; one for £9B was drawn by Mr. Noyes, but be
does not look to him for payment, beeathe he after-
wards took a wav4ant of attorney from Thos. Thurtell,
and gave up Noyes security. The other hill was drawn
by Probert for 1021. both bills wereaccepted by Thomas
Thurtell, who brought them to the insolvent for dis-
count, telling him that he had been accommodated by
his friends, and assuring him that the bills would be
paid when due. Probert owed the insolvent a debt of
1021. 4.5.6 d. previous to 1820, which he proved under
his Commission of Bankruptcy. Insolvent bought no
stock for the last eight or nine months, all 'that he had
he sold, and accounted for, either in his schedule as
debts due to him, or in his balance sheet. He was a
bankrupt in the year 1817. The lease (+lbis house was
then sold by auction by his assignees, and purchased by
the Lady who now holds it. Dr. Stensell purchased
his furniture at the same time, and allowed him the
use of it, for which he gave the Doctor the accommoda-
ton of rooms in his house when he came to town, about
twice a year. During the last four or five years, be
never bought more than six dozen of wine at one time.
He never made any overtones to be allowed to assign
his stock to Mr. Woods, to avoid his creditors. He had
scarcely any creditors. He never had any houses dr
ground-rents at Kensington. He might have said he
received such rents, which was the fact, but the pro-
pertfwas not his. He was bail for Thomas Thurtell,
about three months since, for two debts, one of 181. the
other 291. He was bail for him in five or six actions
—the amount of the whole being little over 1001. He
was not bail for him in the charge of misdemeanour.—
The insolvent being asked when he was last bail for
?Ir. Noyes, his Counsel, Mr. Hearn, objected to the
question. Ile said, the fact should be proved by the
record.—The Counr concurred in the objection.
Mr. EATON said, his object was to drew, that at that
time the insolvent swore himself to be worth 300/.

M AiI.I.I3OIP.MIGH-STR;;ET.

Benjamin llalford was ord,red to find bail for assaulting* child
-
four years of age, with int-nt to violate her person. I
J Brant was sent to the Tread mail for a month, as an impostor,
being in the habit of going into public-houses, pretending to be des:
and dumb, and imploring charity by signs.
Nary Notan was charEwl a ith imposing on the officers of St.
Giles's Parish. She stated to the Overseers that she was pregna:o,
and if they would redeem her clothes, which were pledged, she
could be admitted into the %Vestolioster lefirmary. A man, motto
attended with her, stated himself to be porter to the liifirmr-y,and
said he was Commissioned by the Matron to confirm the applicant';
statement. Her dothes were accordingly redeemed, nod incue!
given to relieve her present wants; but the Matron stated, that
the was totally ignorant of the whole circumstance. The lady was
sent to spend a month at the Tread-mill, instead of the Infirmary.
Two young Ladies, who are partners Ls the filillinery trade, sp.
peared before the Magistrate to settle an affair of assault committed
by Miss Pullen on Miss Smith. Miss Smith said, that being a
partner of Miss Pullen's, she received an order from Lady Sid.
mouth to make her a cap of a peculiar cut, with which Miss riill••1
was not at all acquainted • and while prepating for the due execu-
tion of this order, Miss acquainted;
refused to allow her the Kept tos.
terials* for doing an, and she was therefore, as Lady Sioutontli
wanted the cap at a precise time, in the act of writing *letter to
her Ladyship, explaining the cause of her not being able to perform
her engagement, when Miss Pullen dittoed the work-room in a
great rage, and assaulted her, at the same time teerhig the letter in
pieces from her hand, and the cap from her head.
In answer to this, Miss Pullen declared that she only " shoved"
Miss Smith ; and as for making caps, she could cut or trim one any
day with her, notwithitanding all her boast.
Witnesses were now examined, attorniesi eltrke, made speeches.
Miss Pullen vociferated, Miss Smith simpered, and sighed " Des:-
me !" and the whole came to the conclusion that Miss Pullen was
ordered to find bail for the assault, and Lady Sidsnouth was obliged
to go without her cap.
The landlord of Miss Pullen's house offered to bail that Lady, tat
ale positively refused to give any bail, and declared she would have
nothing but a prison ; and, throwing herself into an attitude of sur-
render, commanded the officers to take her off to jail immediately.
A few minutes sojourn, however, in the lock-op-room, cooled
her ardour for prison discipline, and she at length consented that
her landlord should bail her, which he accordingly did. and eke was
discharged.

THE LATE •KIAG OF FRANCE.

The following letter appears in three of the Morning
Papers: but by whom written, or whence derived, is
not.mentioned, except that one of the Journalists says it
was received through the Post-office. All state, either
on their own authority or that of the writer, for it is
difficult to know which, that the correctness of the par-
ticulars spay be depended on.

Palm, sitrr. 13.
The greatest calm continues to prevail in our capital.
A kind of gravity which is not common is observed on
every countenance. Very few men have put on mourn-

ing the women are more numerous who pay this out-
ward mark of respect to the memory of the late King.
There is reason to distrust most oldie accounts pub-
' lisped by the journals of the last moments of Louis
XVIII. many of them are false, others are disfigured.
The following details are strictly true : they were given
to us by an attentive and dispassionate witness, who
observed for history. We shall repeat as little as possi-
ble of what has been said by a number of channels,
tofficial and unofficial, and endeavour to say only what
is generally unknown.
It is true that the King, during his long agony, and
the days which preceded it, shewed extraordinary firm-'
ness, resignation, and gieatness of soul. This is the
more remarkable, as for several years past, being a vic-
tim to the most cruel sufferings, his temper has been
soured, and he had frequent fits of impatience; and it
might have been imagined that this disposition would
have become more evident us the pains increased.
Except during the crisis and fainting fits, his head
was perfectly clear; he spoke with mildness to those
who were about him. A contradiction sometimes itti.
tated him. He complained very much of the etiquette
wbich•the Gentlemen in waiting did not forget to ob-
serve, even in those moments which were the most
painful to him. As far as he was able, he put off the
moment when the priests were to be introduced into
his apartment. At last he perceived that they were
going to appear in spite of him. He immediately re-
signed himself, and listened to the• Mass with much at•!
tention; but when it was ended, he said that M. de
Croi, who had performed, had not shewn sufficient
unction. He suffered quietly the last sacrament to be
administered to him. When they came to the prayers
of the dying, he said, " You are in too great a hurry, I
know myself better than the physicians do." He was
in the right, for they were obliged to recommence the
same prayers three times. The physicians thought that
the last agony would be much more prompt, and every
new crisis made them say that the fatal hour was come.

BOX Ell S.

Spring has given the following answer to the letter of Langan:—
" At first 1 intended to have let Mr. Langan's letter pass unnoticed ;
but I am advised that silence would be an admission of some part of it
c intents. lie commences with titating, th;;! in the last hour of the
fight, the ring was nearly filled with perons who treated him in a
manner disgraceful to an English ring.' For my own part, I regret
the accident which threw an immense mass of spectators within the
ring, which was equally or more injurious to me than to Langan, as
I prefer room to fight ; and from the piessure of the people, not-
withstanding the exertions of the umpires, we were often confined
within the compass of a saw-pit. As to the assertion of my parti-
sans having used violence to Langan, his letter was the first word
1 heard upon the subject. Langan states that he felt kicks, Ikc. I
cannot find any that heard 'him complain at the time on that sub-
ject, or who saw any foul act. Those Langan would term my par-
' tisans were endeavouring to assist in keeping out the rinpand would
have disdained an unmanly act. Langan adds, that he could have
fought half an hour longer • he had as much the best of it as I had ;
for if he was most punished about the head, I was worn: in the
body.' I can only add, that my hurts on the body are phantoms of
Mr. Langan's brain, like the ' kicks,' as I left the ring, unconscious

from that time to this of ever having telt the slightest sensation
from any body hit. Langan cannot forget that some of his acts
were contrary to the rides and etiquette of the Prize Ring; and, on
the contrary, that my conduct was manly toward him in more than
one instance in the hghr, when I could have punished him, but de.
dined d ' g so. His seconds gave in, not until he could not come
to time, as the umpires ate the best judges ot.—l ant, Sir, your
very humble servant, 4, THOMAS SPRING."

CORN EXCIIANOE, MARK-LAN ~ JAN. 26.

The arrival of all sorts of Grain last week were tolerably good,
and this morning there is a lair addition of Wheat, Barley, Beans,
and Peas from Esstz, Kent, and Suffolk. TM quantities of Corn
that come in at present, are barely equal to the demand, and Ws
occasions higher prices to be obtained fur nearly every ankle.
Wheat has realized a further advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter since
this day se'tinight, and Fur is also expected to advance Ss. per
sack. Barley continues in much the same state as last quoted.
Beans are 2s. to 7s. per quarter higher. Boiling Peas sell well at
last week's prices. Grey Peas are 2s. to 3s. per:quarter dearer. The
supply of Oats being only moderate, and the demand increasing,
this article obtains Is. per quarter more than o4ntsb: 6i4sd:y se'ntlight.

of Customs, and for many years Proprietor and Editor of the Th

talent. In private society, few men were either more brilliblats
more generally acceptable; and, ale Dugald Stewart remarks of
Bunts, his conversation, whether illuminated by wit, or frail* •
with argument, " always bore the stamp of a vigorous nodentawd-
ing." lie had a clear and capacious understanding, with a waisted
kind heart. His strong natural talents were improved by a liberal
education, and a steady course of accurate observation, and saga-
cious reflection. He had a sound judgment, and a happy facility
in conveying the treasures of his own mind, richly stored with p-
oem' information, to the minds of others. Like many who are en-
dowed with great abilities, he was void of jealousy and ambition,
and few occasions occurred which could arouse the energy of mind
which he naturally possessed.—He was artless and unsuspecting,
—upright, manly, and honourable, disdaining all sinister and con-
tracted views, while the benignity and sincerity of his heart in-
spired atrection and confidence. In his domestic circle be was a
dutiful son, a kind and affectionate brother, and an indulgent master.
—Mild and unassuming ir. his manners, he was affable, commie
nicative, and social. Ills public conduct was guided by a zealous
and enlightened regard for his country, and he was friendly to eve/
measure which he thought conducive to the prosperity and happi-
ness of mankind. Mr. Jackson will be regretted by his relatives
and friends, not merely with the " passing tribute of a sigh," bat
with the deep-felt and long-abiding grief, which dwells and feeds
upon recollection of times and" things that were."
" One morn I miu'd him on the assumed hill,
Along the heath, and near his favourite tree;
Another came—nor yet beside the rill,
Nor up the lawn, nor in the wood was he !"

eatthenware wine-cooler, and the space between the'
sides of the bottle and the cooler was filled up with ice,
broken into small fragments ; a small piece of spongy
platina was exposed upon a slip of foil of the same me-
tal, and laid upon the surface of the ice. In this state
the whole was left for about three-quarters of the hour;
at the end of this time the temperature of the platina
coil was found to be 33 degrees, and it was, as well as
the spongy metal, covered with a considerable film
of moisture. _

A jet of gas was now made to pass from the bottle,
through a very fine pipe, upon the spongy platina ; the
moisture immediately began to disappear, and the metal
quickly became heated to whiteness, at which time it
kindled fhe hydrogen gas, as it issued from the orifice
of the pipe.
Mr. Garden has constructed several lamps upon this
very simple principle, and, from the certainty which has
hitherto been observed, there is teason to believe that
they will answer the purpose most completely. 'When
he has sati,fied himself as to the most convenient form,
he intends to publish a sketch of it, and also the re-
sult► of a few more experiments upon the subject.

• •
Light is transmitted with an immense velocity through
all parts of the universe. It travels, with a uniform
motion, about 210.000 miles in a second, ht comes te-
flected from the sutlace of bodies, and partially pene-
trates those which are transparent. When decomposed
it sepal ates into coloured homogeneous rays, ref angible,
, but unequally so. When a ray of light passes throngh
certain crystals, it divides into two tustinct parts; it is
this which constitutes double refraction. Each of the
two refracted rays acquires, in the interior of the crystal-
lized medium, a peculiar disposition, which has been
designated by the name of polarization, and which
keeps up a singular but constant relation with the situ a-
tion of the elements of crystals.
A practical illustration of some of the properties tit
light appears in the establishment of dioptric light-
houses. In these, the light is not reflected, but trans•
mitted through glass lenses, which render the ra) s pa
, rallel. The flame is placed in the cenuc of eight simi-
lar lenses, and the whole turns on an axis, so that all
the points of the horizon are illuminated. To render
the flame uncommonly ardent, Messrs. Arago and Fres-
, nel have invented a lamp with concentric fires, the light
of which is equivalent to that of 150 wax candles.—
From late trials, it appears that even in dusky weather these
lights may be seen at the distance of more than eight
leagues. Such is their lustre, that even before the close
of day they may serve as signals in geodesic operations,
and have been employed as such by Messrs Arago and
Mathieu, and by Messrs. Kater and Colby, of the Royal
Society of London.
A telescope will discover these signals at more than
sixteen leagues distance, an hour before sunset ; and an
hour after sunset, the naked eye will distinguish them
at the same distance.—.-Mechanic's Mag.
