•TNE COAL TRADZ.

mt. EDITOR—In your Paper of the 17th
Lendoxiensi: requests to be informed the cause of di,
high price of Coals, in terms rather bombastic; biz%
however high down the stile of the writer, thz
ject of his enquiry certainly demands the most se:iu::.
attention.

The Owners of the best Coals in the North, h4re
thought proper to enter into a very alarming agr,:f!
ment to raise the price of. their Coals 4s. per Nc-.7.
castle Chaldron ; alarming, because the recent al.
vance was made by their mutual consent, at precisci,
the same day and hour, without it being in the puvivr
of the consumers to counteract their., except by en.
tering into a legal combination to frustrate this ava
ricious and most certainly illegal agreement.
The Owners of Ships employed in the Coal Trade
are certainly intitled to the warmest and best thank
of their Country, for having determined not to load on
board their vessels any of the best coals at the enor.
mous advanced price, in the expectation that a ref.,
lotion so generally beneficial to the country will be
supported by every individual in the Nation who fee;_
that extortion and illegal agreements ought to be re.
sisted by every legal meaa. The Consumers must
and do feel that the Ship Owners are fighting thei,
battles, and will continue to give them every possible
countenance and support.
If the Owners of the best Coals in the North hay
from peculiar circumstances the monopoly of this .t!
tide, are they therefore with the most unbl,l-!lint
avarice to put what price they may thin: p,oper
their Coals ? Certainly not. Every individual ni
ask what price he may think proper for the attic! •
sells, but if it can be proved that he has enterci in:
an illegal agreement to raise the price of that articl.,
let.him look to the consequences. The Owens
of the best Coals think they have managed their
dark and dangerous agreement with so much sz.
crecy that the fact cannot be proved—let them rot
be toceconfident,facts are in the possession of per.
sons, who, if the best Coal Owners persist in their ex-
orbitant demands, may feel themselves enabled to
apply to the laws of that country which never suffers
individuals to distress or destroy the poor, by keeping
from then, through illegal agreements, one of the
first necessaries oflife.

Will the owners of best Coals ;hew any instance
where they have reduced the price when once the ad-
vance, upon some flimsy pretext, has been obtained?
—They cannot.

I am- really, Mr. Editor, sorry to have troubled
you on this occasion ; but your known wil,h to serve
the Public, and the importance of the subject, will, I
am sure, induce you thus to inform LoNoo.4le.Nsli,
Why the price of Coals is so much advanced in jai

SPORTING. —A trotting match for 100 guineas
took place, yesterday on ::;unbury Common, baweeL
two fast going poneys, the one blind, and the pro.
party of a person at Staines, which beat the celebrate 4
lfrish trotting pone), a few days ago ; the othe: z
North Country poney. The match commenced at
seven o'clock in the morning, with high odds against
the blind poney, which took the lead, and kept it
eleven miles. The North Country poney here made
play, and won the match by nearly half a mile,
There was a numerous field of sportsmen on the
ground, and several hundreds were betted on the e74a.
A Gentleman, a few days since, for a considerabh
wager, walked from Whitcehapel Church to Hyde-
Park-corner, stopping to eat a tart at every pastry-
cook's on both sides of the way. The diact dis-
tance is four Tact. He was allowed two hours to
accomplish this feat, but he performed it in an hour
and a quarter. Those who can swallow this Ltate-
ment, are no doubt capable of swallowing all the tarts
in all till pastry cooks all the catty from Whitechapel
to Hyde Park-corner.
Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. Haiselden, of Milton, un-
dertook for a wager to go ten miles within the hour,
on the Canterbury road, between Key-street, and
Chalkwell : betting was considerably against him at
starting, but he performed this extraordinary task,
apparently with great ease, in seven minutes less than
the given time.
Wednesday last Mott, of Great Chart, neat
Ashford, started from the .55th mile-stone, on the
Hythe road, in order to walk 6Q miles in the given
time of 14 hours, for a w: ger of five pounds ; when,
after walking half the distance in about seven hours,
he declined proceeding any further.—lt is under-
stood that the same bet is made by Mr. Hokum, of
Kennington, for a wager of 20 guineas, to take place
very shortly in a field of Mr. Hokum's.

DNA LeiTLE OF TAUT BRA

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF MOH
RANK IN THE ARMY OF SIR ARTHUR WELLESLEY.

" Talavera della Reyna, July se, 1809.
" The movement of the French in retreat, of which
I gave you an account in my last letter, was a most
masterly one.

•
'I he advice and interference of Sir A. WELLEs-
LEY to the Spaniards, saved them from inevitable de-
struction, and his ability has secured to -the British
arms a most glorious and brilliant victory. It appears
that the French retired on the morning of the 24th
to St. Olalla and Torrijos, taking the road to Toledo.
The Spaniards followed the retreating army to Saint
Olalla ; on the 25th the French effected the junction
of the three corps of VICTOR, SEBASTIANI, and King
JOSEPH, thus forming an army of 50,000 men. On I
the 26th they advanced against the Spaniards, and
beat in their advanced guards; the night before, Sir
A. WELLESLEY had requested CUESTA to retire upon
Cevolla, as it appeared clear that the French intended
a movement in advance ; the attack upon the ad-
vanced guard supported this advice, and CUESTA
with his whole army retired on the 26th to the heights
in front of this place.
" The 27th the French continued their advance,
and in some measure came up with the division of
General SHERBROOKE, which was posted at Casa
Liguas, to protect the retreat of the Spanish rear
guard ; by one o'clock, however, every thing was safe
across the Alberche, and General SHERBROOKE and' the
-Spanish army were ordered immediately into a posi- ,
tion which Si: A. WELLESLEY had fixed upon, having
the right on Talavera, the left on a hill about tivo'l
miles north-west of it. Abouttwo o'clock, the French
began to engage upon the Alberche, with the division
of General MACKENZIE, which had been left to oppose
or retard the passage of the river. The enemy, how-
ever, appearing in force, the division was ordered to
retire gradually to the position in the rear. The
enemy having passed a number of troops, this move-
ment brought on a serious affair, and the French fol-
lowed up their advance till we were arrived in our po-
sition, and then instantaneously they attacked the
height upon our left, and for a moment carried it.—
The brigades of Generals STEWART and TILSON reco-
vered it immediately, and so ended the action of the
27th, with the only exception, that the enemy's ca-
valry attempted the Spanish line on the right, but
were repulsed.

" In the morning of the 28th, the whole of the
French formed in front of the British army : a divi-
sion at the bottom of the hill on the left was the first
which began the action, by storming, with about 8000
men, the height they had lost the night before. This
attack, from its nature, could not be of long dura-
tion; although supported by an immense train of ar-
tillery from an opposite height, the enemy was driven
back with an amazing loss, and thrown into complete
confusion. Owing to accident our cavalry was not
near enough to charge, otherwise the whole of three
French divisions, forming the attack and support,
must have been cut to pieces. After this attack had
been repulsed, the enemy confined himself for a con-
siderable time to a cannonade, in which he had a great
superiority of guns, but by which nothing but the
destruction of a few men and horses was effected. At
the end of about two hours the firing on both sides
ceased, and there succeeded an interval of about two
hours tranquillity.
" At one o'clock, the fire recommenced on the part
-of the French, and immediately after, an attack with
three columns upon our centre. The action was fu-
rious, hut in half an hour the attack was completely
repulsed, with an amazing loss on the part of the
French, and some considerable suffering on ours.—
, The. enemy did not lose courage ; they determined
upon a third attack, and a most tremendous one it
proved. Four ca five columns of the whole of Sebas-
tiani's corps sParrnd of 18,000 men attacked the cen-
tre, while three strong columns of infantry, support-
ed by a large body of cavalry, threatened to turn our
left, by going round the height, which they had al-
' ready twice attacked ; our cavalry was ordered to
charge this body, and although by a mistake or some
accident, and by the. great strength of infantry in
close columns, against cavalry, the charge did not
sacceed, and on the contrary proved. very fatal to the
23d Dragoons, )et its effect was such as entirely to
stop the advance of the intended attack, and to re-
lieve us in a short time from the fear of any attack
upon our left.

" Jn the mean time, however, the attack upon the
centre became tremendous ; some of our battalions
were forced to give way ; and the Guards, by an im-
prudent though gallant charge in front, were so cut
up by some artillery, and several columns of infan-
tn-, as to be obliged to fall back. Sir A. Wellesley,
.when ae olmerved the advance of the Guards, dread-
ed the result, and ordered the 48th regiment from the
left to support them in case of necessity; the steadi-
ne,,: of this regiment contributed greatly to the suc-
cess of the day ; the Guards passed through it, and
it supported the whole of the attack that was pour-
ing down, and stopped the :French advance.
" Under cover of this regiment, the Guards and
the other regiments formed, and in a quarter of an
hour returned into the action with a huzza, which
repeated through the whole line, was followed by the
repulse of the enemy upon all points, and with this
terminated the action.

We observed the French columns retiring to the
Alb.:rche, and .before dark their rear-guard quitted the
ground they occupied. I will not go further into de-
tail about this great action, for unless I could inclose
you a plan of the ground, you could not understand
it ; but you will perceive by what I have said, that
our army was on the left and the Spanish on tke
right, and that the French attack was entirely direc-
ted against us, although thero were two or three Spa-
nish regiments engaged, and those behaved extreme-
ly well.
" Our loss has been severe, 4500 killed and woun-
ded ; but we have since been joined by Craufurd,
with 300() men. The French lost in the action, I
should think, at least 12,000 men ; their dead are in
heaps before us, and the wounded that they carried
off are too numerous to be counted by the peasants
who have met them.

" I hope this army wi7l receive some mark of dis-
tinction for the gallantry it has displayed ; and let it
not be forgotten, that the present is the only instance
since the French have been so reputed in arms, in
which a large army, equipped in very thing, sad

•
commanded by. their best officers, has been defeated
by, an army half its numbers..
di I have been extremely fortunate in the action—
although I was engaged in the heaviest of the fire, no
accident happened to me. There is a strong report
that Soult's army is marching towards Placentia ; I
think it probable, but I do not believe he can do us
any material harm. Venegas has marched upon T 0...
ledo and Aranjuez, but not as was at first intended.
As yet he has created no diversion in our favour, ex-
cept that the King foseph is gone with his corps of
6000 to Madrid.

4g Sir Robert Wilson is returned to Escalona ; he
had advanced beyond it to within three leagues of
Madrid ; he was obliged, however, to retire, to join
the army, and is now only gone off again. On the
left of our line, in the action of the 28th, the French
endeavoured to push a column in the mountains. A
Spanish division, under General Basscour, was sent
against them, and behaved very bravely."

Oa Monday last, the 2d Regiment of Warwick.
shire Local Militia marched to Warwick, to remain
on permanent duty for 14 days.
Monday, the 4th Lanarkshire (Highland) Local
.Militia, commanded by Colonel MACAL►STER, finished
their period of twenty-eight days drill, at Glasgow.
On Friday, notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the Duke of MoNintosa inspected the regi-
ment, and expressed himself much pleased with the
general appearance of the corps, with the steadiness
of the men under arms, and the precision which
marked the manoeuvres. The regiment is dressed in
the full Highland garb.
FATAL DUEL.—Extract of a letter from New Or-
leans, dated 15th May A duel was fought here on
the morning of the 16th, between Lieutenants BOWIE
and HAGUE, of the Light Dragoons. At the third
fire, both shots took effect. The. former was mor-
tally wounded. I attended his funeral last evening.
The latter will in all probability lose one hand, as the
Oones of his arm just above the wrist are shattered in
a shocking manner. They were promising young
Officers, and were said to be two of the best looking
young men in the army."

A cause of considerable importance came on to be
heard at the Dorchester Assizes, wherein Mr. WIL-
LIAM SHERRING, the President of a Benefit Society at
Sherbourne, was Plaintiff, and T. PURSEY, alias
PERSEY (the elder) was Defendant : the action was
brought to recover from the Defendant three years
pay, at 4s. per week, which he had fraudulently re-
ceived from the Society 21 years since, by producing
a copy of the register of his baptism. The Judge di-
rected the Jury to return a verdict for the Plaintiff,
which they did with damages, 341.
The George public-house in Grafton-street, Soho,
fell down on Monday night, at ten o'clock, and caused
a considerable alarm in that neighbourhood. The
first crash was heard by a woman who lodged in the
garret of the same house. She was washing, and had
three children in bed. She took her children, and ran
down stairs, screaming violently, and exclaiming,
" The house is falling down." A party of gentlemen,
who were sitting in the back parlour, and many others
in the tap-room, were alarmed at the shriek of the
woman, and doubted her assertion ; but one of the
party ran up stairs, and heard a second crash, which,
communicating to the rest of the company, they all
left the house, and had not quitted it many minutes
before it fell to the ground.—No lives wgre lost.

Yesterday afternoon, as a baker's cart was stand-
ing at his owner's door in Bishopsgate-street, the
driver being gone into the shop to fetch out somebread,
a boy passing by with a whip, struck the horse, which
set off full speed : a carriage turning out of Sun-
street, came in contact with the cart, and was over-
turned before the coachman was aware of his danger;
fortunately, however, he was not much hutt, and the
carriage was empty.

Yesterday morning, as a loaded waggon was going
down the Haymarket, the wheel-chain broke, and the
horses were pressed forward so rapidly, that the dri-
ver, in attempting to stop them, was thrown down,
and the fore-wheel passing over his thigh, the bone
wal broken in a dreadful manner ; he was taken to
the hospital, where immediate amputation was found
necessary.

The leading horse of a tandem, in which were two
persons of the name of Houlton and Case, took fright
at the lightning, betwixt Hounslow and Bedford, on
Thursday night, and started off at full speed. The
vehicle was overturned, by the horses dragging it off
the road on the heath ; and on its being upset, Mr.
Case was so dangerously hurt, that he is not expected
to lire.

A poor man of the name of Heady was struck
dead by the lightning on Thursday-evening, at Long-
lane, near Brentford. He was driving a horse and
cart, and the fluid struck him on the forehead.

The Dwina, Capt. PYOT, which arrived at Grimsby
on Wednesday, from Malta and Messina, with a cargo
of currants and Spanish liquorice, was struck with
lightning about 12 o'clock en Thursday night, and
immediately after the quarter-deck was in a blaze.—
There were four or five men and a boy on board at
the time, all of whom, excepting the boy, providen-
tially made their escape ; but the poor lad was
burned. The fire continued to rage with great fury
till the vessel was burned to the water's edge. It is
supposed the cargo was worth bet Ween 6 and 70001.
about a sixth part of which had beendelivered. The
Dwina, which carried about 300 tons, was worth at
least 30001. Fortunately there were no other vessels
near the spot where the Dwina was moored, nor did
the fire communicate to the contiguous warehouses ;
but, owing to the extreme violence of the storm, tl:e
awful spectacle of the burning ship, and the near
contiguity of the houses and other buildings to the
wharf, the inhabitants of -the marshes were thrown
into a state of great consternation.
The Children of Christ's Hospital, in addition to
their other branches of learning, are taught to draw.
The best specimens of their Drawing will be exhibited
ili Cooper's Hall, on the 20th of October next, on
which day they will, by drawing the State Lottery,
distribute among the public no less a sum than Two
Hundred Thousand Pounds.

The assemblage of company, although from vari-
ous causes less in number of the nobility and gentry
of the county than on former years, has however,
from the fineness of the weather, equalled any other
in everyydeseription of visitors.
The ptiblic breakfasts and balls have felt the con-
sequente of the absence of so many of the milit.iry.
The dressed ball of Tuesday night W'as but thin, that
of last night, however, consisted of upwards of 300
fashionables, and was considered one of the best-
dressed balls for some years. Among the company
present were—
The Earls Nelson and Temple, Lord Brook ; Sirs George Nu,
gent, fidsiard Knatchbull, John C. Honeywood, John Shaw, H.
Dashwood, Samuel Auchmuty ; Baron de Montesquieu, Colonel
Dalton, Lieut.-Colonels Webb and Vicars Majors De Billing-

GRAND FETE AT OATLANDS.

The absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of
YonK from the entertainment in commemoration
of his Birth-day, given at Oatlands, on Wednesday,
greatly diminished the pleasure which the festive scene
was calculated to produce. In other respects the fete
was extremely brilliant.
At one o'clbck his Royal Highness the Prince of
WALES, accompanied by MT.TERRETT, in an open lan-
dau, arrived • and was shortly after followed by his
Royal Brothers, the Dukes of CLARENCE, KENT,
CUMBERLAND, and CAMBRIDGE, in their separate car-
riages. At half-past one, the QUEEN, and the Prin. •
cesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, SOPHIA, and MARY,
accompanied by Ladies ILCHESTER, and ISABEI.LA
THYNNE, arrived. The QUEEN was preceded by the
KING'S Equerries, in one of his MAJESTY'S carriages,
drawn by six horses, and escorted by a party of the
Royal Blues. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
YORK received her MAJESTY and all the Royal visi-
tants at the front door. The Prince of WALES and
Duke of CLARENCE handed her MAJESTY and the
PaiNcessas front their carriages, and the Duchess
conducted them into the drawing-room, which was
fitted up in a most magnificent style. The Duke's
band, is full new uniform, was stationed on the lawn,
near the drawing•room windows, and on the Queen
entering, played " God save the King." As soon as
her MAJESTY and the younger branches of the Royal
Family were assembled, an elegant dinner was served
up in a beautiful marquee erected on the lawn, for
40 children (20 boys and 20 girls), whom the Duke
and Duchess clothed and educated. The eldest boy
took the chair, said grace, apd performed the duties
of the table. They were waited upon by the domes.
tics of the house. The Queen and all the company
visited them while at dinner. As soon as their cloth
was cleared, they drank the healthy of the Duke and
Duchess with three times three, and sung God save
the King, the whole of them joining in chorus. The
grateful sensibility of the children, together with their
clean and healthy appearance, excited admiration,
and all the company seemed highly pleased. At half
past two o'clock, the Queen and all the branches of
the Royal Family present, sat down to a sumptuous
dejeune in the principal dining-room. The sideboards,
eight in number, were richly ornamented with gold
cups, urns, salvers, &c. &c. The dinner was served
up on a superb service of plate. The PRINCE occu-
pied the DUKE'S place at table. After the cloth was
removed, the PRINCE gave, A speedy recovery to
the Duke of YORK, and many happy returns of the
day," which was drank with enthusiasm. The band
played several delightful airs during dinner, and after
the DUKE'S health was drank, they played his Royal
Highness's March.
In the evening the Royal Family walked on the
lawn. The QUEEN and PRINCE Es were elegantly
attired, and looked exceeding well, but owing to the
DLKE'S indisposition, they were not so cheerful as
usual. At six o'clock, her MAJESTY and the Prim.
et:cses' accompanied by their suite, set out for Wind-
sor. At seven o'clock, the NOCE, with his Royal .
Brothers and the Nobility and Gentry, sat down to an
elegant dinner, served up in the principal dining-
room, where they remained until ten o'clock, when
they proceeded to a ball-room erected.in the shrubbery
adjoining the lawn, which was illuminated in a most
superb style with upwards c.f. 2000 variegated lamps.
At the top of the ball room was formed a beautiful
canopy lined with shrubberies and flowers, and hung
with festoons and lams, with a large star of lamps in
the centre, and D. Y. at the top. The whole was fit.
ted up with great taste, and had a most beautiful
effect. At 12 o'clock the Duchess, accompanied by
the Prince, retired from the ball room, and was fol-
lowed by the rest of the RdyalFamily, and the Nt
bi-
lity and Gentry begun to dlepart.—Among the corn-

CUMBERLAND ASSIZES.

CARLISLE, AUGUST 9.

lIETHERTON V. MULLENDER ARD

Mr. TOPPING, Counsel for the plaintiff, stated the
nature of this case. which was to recover compensa-
tion in damages for scandalous words spoken by
Mr. l‘litllendcr's wite. When the defamatory words
we: e si.oken, Mrs. Mullender (then Miss Dunn) was
not married ; but being now united together, they
were necessarily co-joined is the action. The plain-
tiff and defendants are both residents at Wigton, and
the defamation consisted of Miss Dunn's having re-
ported it in ail companies that Miss Hetherton (who.,
is a young lady of a most respectable family, and of
the most unblemished character) had stolen Lice
from I ter shop, and that she was the constant subject of ,
watch in all the milliners' shops in town. This,saidthe
Learned Counsel, is absolutely false; on the contrary,
continued he, witnesses are in attendance, who will
Irate, that so high is their opinion of the rectitude of
the plaintiff's conduct, they would, without the least
hesitation, trust her with all they had. The only
motive for this infamous conduct, on the part of Miss
Dunn, was Miss Hetherton's informing her, that she
would deal no longer with her, since she had disco-
vered she (Miss Dunn) had sold to another lace of
the same quality at a cheaper rate than to her.
The case did not proceed further, the defendants
having consented to take a 'verdict against them ;
and the plaintiff not wishing for vindictive damages,
hut merely that her character should be cleared up,
40s damages, with costs, were accepted.

CROWN SIDE.--ATTEMPT TO POISON.
Dorothy Radio', (aged 30) was indicted for an at-
tempt to poivln the fAnily of Mr. Sinton, on the 24th
of May last, by mixing arsenic with a quantity of oat-
meal.

Mr. Sinton, who is a farmer of Dalston Hall, stated,
that early on the morning of the 24th of May, when
he went from home, his family, rhii.ll consisted of
his wife, one man, and two maid servants, were all
well ; but on his return he found all the three ser-
vants very ill—so much so, that they were compelled
to take to their beds. On inquiry, found that they
had breakfasted, as usual, on milk and oat-meal ;
but at this time had no suspicion. At the hour of
dinner, broth was prepared, into which was put part.
of the oat-meal, which was taken from the usual
place where it vas kept, And by which, one William
Nixon, who with his wife and two children were at
the hall, and as many others who partook ofit, were
considerably affected. Still no suspicion was excited
till after partaking of boiled milk, into which a quan-
tity of the oat-meal had been infused for supper, they
were similarly affected. Strongly suspecting that
some hoxious ingredient had been mixed with the
oat-meal, on the next day (Thursday) witness sifted
the oat-meal which remained in the basket, 'and dis-
covered particles of a hard gritty substance, which
he carefully preserved, and save to Dr. Watson, of
Daiston.

On being cross-examined, the witness stated that
during the time of the prisoner's remaining in his ser-
vice, he never found any thing amiss in her conduct.
• Sarah Finlayson deposed, that she went to the service
of Mr. Sintor., at Martinmas ; remembers partaking
of the boiled milk on the morning of the 24• th of May,
and in the space of about ten minutes, was afflicted
with vomiting and sickness ; in which state she con,
tinned until night. Neat day she was considerably
better ; but in the evening, happening again to par-
take of boiled milk, prepared with oat-meal from tho
same basket as Lite preceding day, she was seized in
a like manner, but was much worse. On. Tuesday
night she went out to a dancing party, and on her
rez urn home, about eleven o'clock, she bolted the door
and retired to rest.

Matthew Wilson knew the prisoner, having been
a fellow-servant with her ; saw her in Carlisle on
Saturday preceding the 24th of May ; when she said
he had not behaved well to her; on which the witness
hurried away from her. About a month or five weeks
previous to this, prisoner told witness she would tor-
went him, and he should never have satisfaction
wherever he went. She moreover told him, she lately
had a miscarriage by him, and that she would do
Sarah Finlayson an ill turn, if it lay in her power.—
Whereupon some other angry words ensued.
• Being crossed-examined, he admitted, that Mr.
Sinton and other farmers were in the habit of using
poison for the destruction of rats.
James Finl4son proved, that these words had been
spoken by the prisoner ae, Winnow, in the spring of
the year, on her quitting Mr. Sinton's service, viz.
That she would be either revenged of Sarah
Finlayson or Matthew Wilson."
The next witness called was Mary Baty, a neigh-
bour of Mr. Silicon, who deposed, that the prisoner
was at her house :it different times in the spring; at
one of which times she informed witness, that she
wns with child by Matthew Wilson, and that if he
did not marry her she would put an end to her exist-
ence—that she could not live without him, but said
she would have satisfaction by law.
It was proved by Robert Baty, of Dalston, that
prisoner was at his house on the Sunday preceding
the 21th of Mar, and on the Thursday following.
Mr. Bonne], druggist, Carlisle, was sworn.—On
the evening of Tuesday, the 23d of May, prisoner
called at the shop of witness, and bought a penny-
v..•arth of laudanum ; she then demanded a penny-
..vorth of arsenic, when he informed her, that he never
sold arsenic, unless in the presence of a third person.
'Whereupon she turned about, saying, it was of no
consequence, as she knew where she could get it.

Nizt,n was sworn.—Was at Dalsion Hall
\V eartesday, the 21th of May, with his family.--
On the Sault a;ty following, he visited the prisoner in
and said to her, " You have nearly done
for ones ;" to whicti she replied, 44 She

him and he was stopped in Chancery-lane. Mr. S.
farther stated that the prisoner was twice attempted
to be rescued ; but he could not say that it was him
he had seen feeling in the gentleman's pocket. Mr. S.
was at first so apprehensive of the vengeance of the
gang to which he understood the prisoner belonged,
that he gave his card in prererence to telling his ad-
dress, until the worthy Alderman (Mr. Scholey) as.
sured him the laws of his country were a sufficient
protection for him. The prisoner in his defence plead-
ed such excessive intoxication, as that he had no re-
collection of the circumstances charged against him.
He produced two persons as his bail, one of whom
(a Publican in Holborn) was objected to as a charac-
ter already too well known. The other a Blacksmith,
in Clerkenwell, was to be taken if he could prove him-
self qualified.

apprehension, on suspicion of felony in the inland

and but for their variance in their statements, when
examined separately, they would probably bilve
been discharged. After undergoing a very long
and minute examination before the Mayor, he or-
dered a strict search of their lodgings and trunks, at-
tending himself to see his orders properly exectitA.
After the strictest search, nothing was found to excite
suspicion; and upon quitting the lodging room to in-
quire of the woman of the house for a parcel which
had been seen there in the morning, containing a coat
and other articles of wearing apparel in a handker-
chief, the Town Clerk, stepping back, observed Mary
Canning in the act of concealing something in the
grate, or the chimney, and upon examining the latter
he found a small parcel, containing four of the Batik
Post:Bills advertised, w ith other Bank Post-Bias to
the amount Of £460, and Country Bank-notes and
Bills of Exchange to the amount of between 6 and
£7OO. The person of Richardson has since been
identified.

DR. MLBERT's VEGEtABLE ANTISCOR -
11U-ITC DROPS, in bottles at 22.5. and a smaller size at
4s. 6d.—The variety of diseases that prevail at this season ot- the
year, generally wig Hating froin impurities of the blood, a vitia-
ted stomach, or oberucted perspiration, it is with the fullest con-
fidence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivalled
medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and
cure for numerous diseases, particularly the land and sea scurvy
cancers, king's evil, ulcerated sora legs, running wounds in any
part of the body, leprosy, eruptions after the small-pox or mea-
sles, inflammation in the eyes, St. Anthony'. fire, t hetisnat ism and
rheumatic gout, slow, nervous, and intermitting fevers, 'od all the
luhg train of disorders which attend the scurvy infernally.
The following extraordinary Clare and authenticated testimony
must of itself be sufficient to place Dr. GILB car's Vegetable
Antiscerbutic Drops at the head of every public remedy, which
has been discovered in this or any miter nation ; the truth of
which was confirmed by an affidavit taken at the Town Hall,
Portsmouth, April the lit, I SOP, before the Rev. George Cuth-
bert, Mayor.
No, 30, Britain-street, Portsea, April 1, 1809.
To Dr. Gus R, in g atitudc to you, asbeing the I riven-
tor and Proprietor of one, perhaps, of the greatest discoveries in
medicine which has ever been made in o' y: or age, and also
for the :offering part of society, I coual wish the following vise to
be laid before the public at large: I had been for nearly three years
the greatest sufiert r both in body and mind ; it first arose from a
powerful disease—the second from my being rendered incapable of
attending to my trade, this only meant Of providing for a wife and
infant family. My complaint was at first what is usually termed
the Inetimatism, which affected Inc in various parts of the body,
after which a deadness iaiced my hands and arms, which rendered
then entirely uselt : there appeared to ba no aensu of feeling
no more than if they were hung to toy shoulders with chocds,
ae I could fling them against atones or wood ti ithout suffer-
ing the leas: pain. I had violent and almost constant pains
in my knees, ba.ly and head, and my whole system so weakened
and relaxed, that I doubted :if ever beieg restored e I tried various
public medicines, and large qoantities of simples; i applied to many
gentlemen of the faculty, loth physicians and surgewas, men of
judgment and humanity, ii the town. of Portsmouth, Portsea,
Southampton, Blandford, &c. bot their inee:kiiies, blistering, hot
baths, nor any thing was e( the least adva:ltaga to me: in this de-
plorable state I was Iv itan yuer Vegetalde Anti-scorbutic Drops
were recommended to me, I puacha ,ed'a lastele t t them, With./lit
the least idea of deriving any relief frten :Lain ; but my surprise
and joy must be supposed to Lave exceeded expression, when I say
that I found the languid circulation of the fluids warmed by vital
heat in a few hours after I had taken this astonishing medicine,
nor did it rest here, for I grew daily batter, and in a few weeks
regular continuance of the medicine three times a day, I gained
an effectual cure.—Witness my hand,

The truth of the above statement is farther verified by the oath
of the said Win. Taylor, sworn theist day of April, 1809, at the
