BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 5.

An affray, attended with bloodshed, of which all
the details are not yet known, has taken place among
the troops that compose the garrison of Namur :
A quarrel that arose in a public house, between some
Light Horse and some Sappers, led to this sad event;
some men have been killed or wounded. Order is
entirely restored, thanks to the energy employed by
the officers on this occasion.

Monsieur Simon, who has made some noise in the
kingdom of the Netherlands, through the discussions,
of which he was the subject, in the Second Chamber
of the States General, was delivered up, on the 21st
of August, to the French Authorities. A Journal
of Liege contains the Protest which he signed before,
his departure. It is dated on the 18th. The fol-
lowing is an extract
I denounce this act, equally contrary to the law
of nations, and to the fundamental law of 'the king-
dom—to the animadversion of those among my new
fellow-citizens who still cherish the liberty which their
ancestors enjoyed. I have applied to the Tribunal
of Luxemburg: it declared itself incompetent to hear
my complaints. I applied to the States-General ;
but while they are deliberating, I receive a notifica-
tion of the order, issuing from the AttorneyGener.il,
!), which I am going to. be delivered up -to France,
I had applied to the States `of the Province toobi:lin
suspension- of this, order till the .States-General
should have- come to a decisient they. answered, that
it did not regal(' them."
. In conclusion; hi expresses his gratitude to the In-
hiftitants, and. MeMben of the Municipal Body of
Luxemburg, for the prooft of attention *hewn him
during his imprisonment.

LORD EXMOU ars EXPEDITION.

. Thy followincare extracts from letters from an
'ol6:4:at in Lord V.EaloUTit's fleet
" On board his Majesty'; ship Impregnable. dated
Gibraltar, August 11, lsl6.
go We arrived here on the 9th instant, after a plea-
sant passage of 16 days from Spithead, and twelve
from Plymouth Sound. From the best information
obtained, we have reason to expect we shall be Met
with a mows reeapien at Algiers. We are, therefore,
accordingly preparing ourselves. MI the bulk-heads,
and every thing that would impede the fresh/snag of
the ships, are taking down and sent ashore here. The
Minden and Leander, which, after the object of
our returning here is accomplished, are going on to
the East Indies and Halifax, have landed their pas-
sengers and cumbrous foreign stores. The Prome-
theus, Captain DASHWOOD, which left Spithead before
us, for the purpose of informin4 Sir CHARLES PEN..
nose of our approach, arrived here on the 28th ult.
and left immediately afterwards for Malta Sir
CHARLES being there with the Enphrates. Ister,
Erne, Myrmidon, and Wasp. Upon our arrival we
found the Dutch squadron, under Admiral CAM..
LEN, had anicipated our expectations: it was assem-
bled here, and that Officer immediately made an
offer to our Chief to co-operate with him in the en-
tesprile. We were all most highly gratified at this
circumstance ; not so much that we felt ourselves
too weak, single-handed, for the service, and therefore
needed the alliance, but that the cause of humanity
should have been met by such prompt good feeling
on their part. The Prometheus, after she had.gone
to Malta, was to proceed off Algiers, and endeavour
to bring off Mr. MsDotime, our Consul; whether
she succeeded or not has not been heard. The Jasper,
Captain CAREW, which came with us from the Ply-
mouth station. returns to that port with Lord
Exlsotreies first dispatches "
" ACGUsT 13.—Every thing connected with us
being, by indefatigable tendons, now completed, we
shall proceed at day light to-morrow for Algiers,
Tunis, and Tripoli : the wind is fair. The ships with
us are—the Queen Charlotte, Impregnable, Superb,
Albion, Minden, of the line ; Leander, 50 ; Severn,
Glasgow, Granicus, and Hebrus frigates ; Heron,
Satellite, Britomart, and Mutine slops; Belreebab,
Fury, Hecla, and infernal bombs ; Express schooner,
five gun-boats, an explosion vessel, transports, etc."
In addition to the above, we have been favoured
with the following extract from a letter received from
another Officer, dated Gibraltar Bay, August 12:
46 We arrived here last Friday, and are to sail
either this evening or to.morrow morning for Algiers
Iwith the following force ; 2 three-deckers, three 74's,
five frigates, tour bombs, eight gun-boats, and five
Dutch frigates. With this icrce I hope we may
teach the Algerines better manners, and, indoed, I
think there is no doubt but what we shall.
" The ItAyal Corps of the Squadron are to be
divided into two battalions, comminded by the two
senior Captains. lam with a division from the ship
attac lied to the first, which will land with the sappers
and miners (4 company of which are is the fleet), to
blow up And destroy the batteries.
•' Lord Exmomt leads in the Qom CHARLOTTE,
the lall'lttG\ ABLE will follow; and we are to take up
our position abreast of the Mole-head, a large battery
of three tier of guns. Onr terms are very reasonable
indeed, only demanding their fleet, and to rass their
Gaiteriu to the grovia I hope in the course of a fart.

' ini of this splebdid Theatre tb the public—carried
:huh*. are confess, under the influence of feelings
etched in ne dnlinary degree, and little familiar to
such an °Cession. But, in the interval since we were
within its wins, the last scene of life had closed upon
him, who had been for so many years its principal,
and at one time its opulent, proprietor:-ivhd, albeit an
unthrifty manager of its funds, will now, and in after
ages, be fondly claimed as the brightest ornament of
its history. We could riot forget that SUSSMAN ! the
Wit the Poet, the Orator f the Author of the School
for Scandal—was no more. The-very last time,
too, in which the writer of this article had been face
to face with the many public favourites of which
this Theatke has to boast, was over the grave of
SIMMS it —where they had met,'g like men who had
forgot to speak," to shed the last tear over his
earthly remains, and to witness their deposit among
the graves of our immortalized Poets, whose sculp-
tured and Impending images seemed to be animated
by their spiTit, and to lend their sanction to the deed.
Not far dissimilar, we apprehend, were the feelings
of an auditory, numerous and respectable beyond
precedent at this season of the year, which was as-
sembled before even the curtain rote.
The Monody, which had been announced to be
spoken by Mrs. DAVites, was appropriately intro-

Mt. Rae next appeared, in order to bespeak for
Mrs. Davison, who, having been in Ireland, had by
an unlucky concurrence of accidents, only received
the manuscript on the preceding evening, the per-
mission of the audience to read the Monody. This,
though generally lamented, was cheerfully granted.
Under such circumstances, however, it would have
been unreasonable to expect that any perform. l. could
do justice either to the lines or the subject commit-
ted to her care.
The curtain now rose for the second time, and dis-
covered her leaning over an urn, placed on a pedestal
under the branches of a cypress tree. Her only or-
nament was a white dress ; and the simplicity of the
whole scene was certainly in the best taste. The
reading kern a paper was very unfavourable to all
.but those who occupied the front places in the pit,
and prevented our hearing many of the lines, or
catching so snitch of their spirit as we could have
wished. It is, therefore, with the more eagerness we
point the attention of our Readers to the following
beautiful extracts with which we have been furnished.
They possess more pathos, they ate pregnant with
more feeling for the subject. which they never once
desert for the sake of poytical ornament, they speak
more forcibly to the heart than any similar number
of lines we recollect to have read. They betray, in-
deed, throughout,

Davisos's Ladyretrile has been so °nen *ita
nessed with admirati. o, that we need not enter into
any detail of its merits. Though In the teal:Rind
of the Monody she had laboured under the most etda
dant trepidation, from the anxiety which she felt' to
do justice to a performance that she had not had
time' to study, as well as from ler rev.:rebee
of the man to whose memory it was a tribute; yeti
in Lqdyreaete, she regained ail her ease, vivacity, and
playfulness. Mr. MCsiortt delight d the spettatoti
by the chastity and address which he depicted
the character of Sir Peter. He never once suffered
a relapse into the broad humour i!. he is apt
to indul2e ; and though dissini;lar frorn the portrait
I which Mr. KING pave us of the Old earcql, Wgi
truly eff.!ctive. The Sir Oliver Surface ni Mr. Dow.

Mr. RAE personated Charlet with his usual gaiety;
and we were truly pleased to see the saccessiul stand
which Mr. WALLACK made in Joreith. He was evil
dently alarmed at the difficulty he had to encounter,
but he was cherished by the applause of the "rherurei
and soon gained full possession of his faculties. Mrs.
ORGRa was also new ii. the character of liirt.Candoar,
and we certainly never saw her to greater advantage.
She painted all the insinuations she had to convey
with the most significant shrewdness, and her trine
and carriage were graceful. Sir Benjamin Bacilitt,
by Mr. HARLEY, Crabtree, by Mr. Kmottr, and
Most:, by Mr. OXIIERLIY, were all new and all pod,
though Mr. Kswirg. we thoiVit had over•dressed
Crabtree. The bitterness of his scandal more than the
effeminacy of his person is the thing to be p-burtrayeds
Upon the whole, the adnfrablb Comedy was executed
with so much spirit, that it was even out for to-mot•
row evening with universal satisfaction.
Public feeling had been correctly anticipated) and
sympathy with those who had so properly determi•
ned on offering a public tribute to departed genius,
bad filled every bosons with a kindred feeling. A
large proportion of the audience, we observed, were
anxious to give testimony to thisby appearing in black.

A eonsiderablenumberof prisoners were discharged,
20 opposition being offered.
Aikrig, in consequence of his giving no sa-
tisfactory account of some monies he had received in
prison, was remanded, the Court considering he had
acted from a design of deceiving l.is creditors.
Geo. Dawson, a Clerk in the Bank, having ex-
pressed his willingness to allow a certain part of his
salary annually. to pay his creditors, the Court, on,
examining his case, considered that he had acted'
fairly and honestly, discharged him; the Learned
Serjeant observing, he !rumen would look into the
case, and make as amicable an airansement as he.
possibly could between the insolvent and his creditors.
This defendant had 3'2 children by the stone wile,
who are now all dead, excepting three.
Wm. Thomson, a cheesenionger, was opposed for
gross injustice. The prisoner owed a Mr. Ham a
debt of £l3O or £l3l in March last, and payment
being demanded, be declared he was unable to pay
at that time, but would liquidate the Whole in al
given time. At the same time, however, he went to
a Mr. Sewell, from whom he obtained goods to the
amount of eso, pretending he was petlectly able tot
pay that and more, as be had something to depend
on besides his business. One-third of these goods
was afterwards returned to Mr. Sewell, on his learn-
ing the actual situation of the insolvent,, and repre.
seining to him the injustice of his acting as he had
done. There was also a debt of £5O due by the in-
solvent to a Mr. 14.1gston, on a promissory note
since 1801. He could give no satisfactory reason to
the Court for not having paid this note, and the
Learned Serjeant, after summing up the evidence,
ordered him to be finally remanded, as a person
guilty of gross injustice.
Benjamin Matthews was opposed by Mr. Smuts,
for selling a horse belonging to a Mr. Jones (since
dead). and not paying the money to Mr. Jones. On
examination it was proved the horse was actually the
property of the insolvent himself, and he was in-
stantly discharged.
Richard Coa was opposed by Mr. BARRY, on the
ground of his having gone out of the Rules of the
Fleet Prison without le-gal cause. After a few words
from Mr. Noon's, in behalf of the prisoner, the
Court ordered him to be remanded.
Henry Collins, a respectable looking old man, gate
a satisfactory account of his losses ; and after a long
examination by Mr. Baiter, the Court
declared its
conviction that he was a very honest and upright man,
and discharged him.
William Priest was opposed by Mr. ANDREWS, On
the ground of his being guilty of gross injustice.
This case occupied the attention of the Court several
hours. It appeared the prisoner bad been twice in-
solvent within the List five years in addition to his
present insolvency. His debts were now A7SB,.
which had been contracted within the last two years
and a half, though he stated his weekly profits in
trade to amount to AV 10s. In 1811, Mr. Bram-
well, uncle to Mrs. Priest, advanced the sum of ae 1 10
to the insolvent, on his giving a warrant of attorney
for that sum ; but though. the insolvent compounded
with his creditor) only thirty months ago,
.he did nut
include his friend Bramwell in that composition.—
About six weeks before his imprisonment he offered
St. in the pound to his creditors, and told them if
they did not take it they would lose aU, for an emus
tioa in his house would sweep all away. That exe-
cution soon took place by order of Mr. Bramwell,
and from .the proceeds of the goods and furniture
the prisoner received .£9l in balance. He did not
apply that sum to liquidate his debts, and lie could
give no reason for concealing from his creditor% When
he last compounded with them, that his wile'xuncle
had the warrant of attorney.
The JUDGE, at great length, delivered hii opinion-
lie lamented the unfortunate situation of Mr. Priest,
but he was called, in justice to the public, to award
that punishment which, in the wisdom of Parliament,
had been decreed to await those who had deliberately
deviated from fair and honest dealing. He had looked
narrowly into the case, and he bad no doubt that the
interposition of the uncle had been solely for the
purpose of defrauding the other creditors out of their
due. He was sorry for the prisoner, but he now or-
dered hint to be finally remanded for gross injustice,
and in the terms of the last Act of Parliament, not
to be discharged till all his creditors had given their
consent. The prisoner was then finally remanded
for five yeira.

SEPTENII6R 7.
A Mr. J. F. Scum!), who had been effectually
qpposed in the course of the day by a creditor named
Laing, succeeded in having him remanded. Mr.
Laing took occasion to state to the Court, that as the
insolvent was leaving the witness's box, he had thtea:
tened him with personal violence.
Mr. HaATH addressed the Court about five mi-
nutes afterwards, and declared that a violent outrage
had been committed within Its walls. Mr. Laing
had not quitted the Court a minute, when the insol.
vent had put his threat into execution, by assaulting
him in the most violent manner.
The Court instantly called for an examination on

the matter.
Mt. Laing, on being sworn, stated that as he was
retiring through the door of the Court, he was as-
sailed by the insolvent. Scurrah, who pulled him by
*e nose and struck him, at the same time uttering
the grossest abuse. Tile witness loudly called for
the protection of one of the turakeys of the Fleet,
who was at hand; but this person turned away with;
out noticing his request. The turnkey being called,
denied that he had heard this appeal for hr protec-
tion; but he admitted that he saw Scurrah advan.
cing towards Mr. Laing. Two other •witn.sses who,
welt present came forward, and deposed, that they
heard Mr. Laing call for the turnkey's inter sition,
and that the latter must have heard the. dell, for it
was loudly made, and heard by every body through.'
the hall.
Court declared that such outrages Were .not
to be borne, and ordered that the insolvent should,
have a further detainer laid on him for a gross con.
tewiptief Court.• and alto that the Chief Clerk should
write, by its authority, to Mr. Nixon, the Warden of
the' Fleet Prison, and request the dismissal of the
turnkey for so glaring 'a breach ok. Jris duty. This

MINUTES OF EVIIiENCE TAkEN BEFORE THE COM-
MITTEE F THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. ON
suali OF O
THE POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS.THE
The Hda. Henze Gans Benner in be Chair.

Mr. JAMES MAY, Vestry Clerk; was a third time
called anil examined, more particularly as to the al-
terations an the Rates of Bethnal Green Parish, with
a view to establish the fact, that the alterationiiin the
hand-writing of Mr. Merceron, were made after the
rate had been allowed.
Among other instances in which it was proved,
that the alteration had been made after the rate was
allowed, was the following';
The house which is situated in Back-lane, near the
Green, occupied by John Brown, the prior part of
the year; I would ask you who paid the original
rate for John Brown's house ?—Wm. Henry Drewit.
I observe here it is, " John Brown £lB, se3 7s. 6d."
is there any alteration in that rate ?—Yes, Henry
Drewit, £24.
Whose hand-writing is that ?—The a 624 is Mr.i
filer ceron's.
The first half year, John Brown appears to be
rated at £lB, the rate amounts to se3 7s. 6d.-,--he paid
a half-year's demand. being £1 13s. 9d. ; he was
succeeded by Henry Drewit, who is rated at 1824. ?
—Yes.
And pays upon that rate R 2 ss. ?—Yes.
Do you know the hand-writing of the ColleCtor
that signed that receipt ?-=--( Receipt put into witness's
hand)—Yes.
That is a receipt given to Mr. Drewit for the pay-
ment of the half-year's rate at ii 24 ?—Yes, I have no
doubt about it.
Is it possible that the alterations made in the Rate-
book, which appear in Mr. Merceron's hand writing,
could have been made before the Rate was allowed
without your knowledge?—My answer to that ques-
tion is, that the Rate being allowed on the 7th of
August, and the person not coming in at er about
Michaelmas, such alteration must have been made
after the Rate was allowed.

MEacznox, Esq. a Middlesex Magistrate,
agezis called ix, and exansina
In your examination the other day, you were asked
whether there were any alterations in your hand-
writing in the Rate-book ; you answered that you
wuuld wish to see them; you added also, that though
you itad made alterations of the Kate before it had
been allowed, you had never made any alterations
MltCr that event; is that the answer you chuse to
abide I>y ?—I would wish to see the particular items
to speak to it with precision.
Is that your hand-writing,," Thomas Nichols ?"
(book put into witness's hands)—That " ifin from
Michaelmas" is my hand-writing; I think it is my
hand-writing.
Was that written before or after the rate was al.
lowed t•—That I cannot say.
You have stated that you never made any altera-
tions after the rate was made ?—When I say wver, I

would speak to it if I was to see the particular sums
and the particular names; I should think I never did.
There is a particular name before you. 61 Thomas
Nichols, from Michaelmas," was that laid before the
rate was signed or not ?—I cannot say; I have no
remembrance of it.
It appears that Thomas Nicholls paid that smaller
rate of assessment the first half•year ?--Yes...

And the subsequent quarter he has paid at the
greater rate of assessment ?—Yes•
It is then quite clear it must have been made after-
wards?-That does not follow, because when the sig-
nature of the Magistrate was put to the book, it
;night have been done before; the book was signed
on the 3d of September; he pays the last quarter.
The first halt-year is from Lady-day to Michaelmas
and the next quarter is from Michaelmas to Christ-
mas ; how is it possible that the alteration of that rate
could b.l made before it was allowed, if the rate was
allowed on the 3d of September, this being the quar-
ter from Michaelmas to Christmas ?—I beg to state
that I am not going to justify any of these things,
because r candidly state to you that the whole of this
has been the subject of a prosecution by the Rector
of the parish ; and if you will give me leave, I will
reid you the whole of this business as it came before
the Court of King's Bench, which I think is the best
answer that I can give.
It appears to the Committee, that the best answer
you can give is to state to them clearly and explicitly
the facts, leaving them to draw their own inference
from those facts ;* have you not in any one of the rates
of the year 1807, and in the course of 1808 (limiting
the question to these two years), altered the assess-
ment after the rate was allowed ?—Exactly so; and
, I must beg leave to state, that from the peculiarity
of the Act of Pat liament under which we have acted,
that has been so for many, many years, and even fre-
quently so in the sourse of the year.
How came you, then, to state to the Committee the
other day, that you hewer had made any alterations
after the rate had been allowed ?—Really you must
have misunderstood isle. _ _

In your evidence the other day, the questions were
put to you as follows :—" Are you aware that you
ever did make alterations in the Rate-book ?"—the
answer is—" Certainly." " After the rate had been
allowed ?" answer—" 0 no=but not since our late
Act of Parliament." " What act of Parliament was
that ?"—" The 53d of the present King."
It then appears, that in this as well as your last
examination, you have stated that you never did
make any alteration of the rate—and you now un-
equivocally state, that it was your repeated practice;
explain that inconsistency ?—lt has been the practice
of the parish ever since .I have known it. Those ir-
regularities, which I certainly call them, were occa-
sioned by the peculiarity of the late Act of Parfia-
meat, which requires rates by classes; and even if
that Act of Parliament did not exist, the practice
would haveleen the same. The rates were made
regularly once a year, and if an " empty" was put
at:the time the rate was made, which was frequently
the ease when the Collectors went oat ; and if upon
going out at Lady-day or Michaelmas, they found a
new tenant in such houses to which an empty had
been put, they set down the tenant's name in the
books, and the rent of the house, so that the rate
may be collected upon it. The rates and the money
were regularly brought to account-.-whether it was
from Lady-darto Midsummer, or Michaelmas to
Christmas. Then were inegnlarities, thew is no

•gbettitin it, brit the whole of the Meshey 'was>
re/ Wetly brought forward to account, and Mr.
May, the Vestry Clerk,
was there for that purpose; there were columns
down for that purpose. knew that very well, and
In the case before you of Thomas Nichols, there
is no tenant goes out ; how do you account for the
rise of the rate in that instance ?—The Collectors of
the 'poor-rates, Of the land-tar, or of the watch or
lainp duties, go rind three or four times a year,
mate their aurvey,and if it came to their knowledge,
that there was an increase or *rise of the rent, it was
mentioned in the Vestry. Wherever a tenant's rent
was increased, it was brought forward before the
Vestry and the rate increased.
Then, according to the practice of the parish, it'
was a perfectly useless transaction the Magistrates al.
lowing the rate, when it appears that you had the
powbr which you have exercised ; that the Collector
has the power which ire has exercised (for we have it
in evidence) to raiseor diminish the rate of any indi-
vidual, according as he or yeti thought fit ?—That
certainly was so done, and was known to be the prat.
tice for years, and would have continued ISerhaps till
now, if tiis indictment had not taken place.
Were there not constant and repeated appeals atid
discussions in the pariah upoli that subject, upon
this power which you and othedlndividuals assumed,
of raising and lowering the rate at your pleasure ?
By wlrim ?
By the complaining individuals so rated ?—No, I
believe you will find that not one of these are rated
at more than at what they had a right to be rated.
I We called them by the name of surcharges at that
time.

Take that. book in your hand [WitnPss took the
book] ; Mr. Blesset's original rate stands at £l5, it
is altered to £35 ; is that alteration in your hand-
writing ?—The dr3s is my writing.
WAS it upon that Mr. Blesses appealed ?—I cannot
say.
Do you not remember that Mr. Blesset's case was
one that created a considerable noise ?—There was
an action brought against him.
And do you not remember that it was upon that
rate he appealed or not ?—I do not indeed.
Is that your hand-writing ?—I know nothing of it ;
it is nut.

Look at it again ?—" The Michaelmas," I think,

is ; the " £24". I should think was.
[The witness put in a newspaper, which contained
an account advertised by his Solicitor of the trial of
the indictment against him, by which it appeared
that no evidence was called to support the charges.]',
When these alterations took place in the rate, did
they take place openly in the Vestry, or do they take
place in your own office secretly and covertly ? I
never made any alterations in the poor-rates in my
life, but either at the Vestry.ro9m, or at the Gover-
nors'-room in the Workhouse ; never in my life.
Were the alterations made in the presence of the
Vestry Clerk mere clerical errors which he has cor-
rected, or substantial alterations in the rate ?—For
instance, here is a rate collected at Michaelmas—
(the witness exhibiting the book)—and ynu observe
there is an alteration; that is done by the Collector
of course ; they take the half year.
But thew us some made by the Vestry Clerk ?--T
may venture to speak for years and years back, such
alterations have been made by him.
The Vestry Clerk has stated to the Committee,

4)ot only that he never made the smallest,alieration
himself, except as to mere clerical errors, but that he
never saw you or any one else make aft,' alterations
any where in the rate : is that statement founded in
tact I—lt cannot be : I will state to you this as a
fact to prove it : with respect to the alterations made
in Mr: Blesset's rate, Mr. May was well acquainted
with that alteration; of course be must have known
it, as he carried on the action against Mr. Blesset he
saw that it was my handwriting ; of course then if
he did not know it was my handwriting►, how came
he to proceed with that action ? That is clear con-
viction that he kntw it; it was gone, not in secret;
but openly and publicly, either at the Vestry:room,
or in the Governor's room at.the Workhouse.

Wednesday last Simon Mark, a travelling hawker,
was conv:cred before the MAYOR of Oxford, in the
penalty of £lO, for exposing to sale his goods in that
city, without a license; and not being able to pay the
penalty, he was committed to the House of Correc-
tion as a common vagrant. It is necessary that all
hawkers should know that they are liable to the pe-
nalty of £lO, even if they trade, with a license, in
any market town.
Monday as Rowland Wheeler, a post-chaise driver
to Mr. Cox, King's Arms Inn, Oxford, was conduct.
ing a chaise with two Gentlentert to Woodstock, be
was seised with an apoplectic fit, and fell between the
two horses he was driving, opposite the Radcliffe In-
firmary, into which he was immediitely taken, where
he died the same evening. He was about 41• years
of age, and has lett a wife and eight children.
Monday night, the 19th ultimo, about half-past
ten o'clock, RUNNIMAND whose husband is super-
numerary Gunner on board the Fame, of 74 guns,
lying in Gillingham Reach, was with her husband
going on board the Fame, and had just got to the top
of the side ladder, when, in attempting to hold up
her gown. she missed her hold, and fall into the boat
underneath, a height of 35 feet, fractured her skull,'
broke her neck and leg, and died in half an hour. ,
In the Insolvent Debtor's Court, on Saturday,
Mons. JEcISE, a cameo dealer, from Florence, was
remanded for having obtained credit uncles circum-
stances from which it was inferred that he bad no
probable means of meeting his engagements.—
A mongst this insolvent's effects was the Mechanical
Theatre, of which he was proprietor. The Court
said, that if all his creditors consented to his discharge
he might be again brought up. His debts amounted
to more than 02000. •

Ream—Cure for canker of an apple or pear
tree.—Pare the affected part well with a pen knife, I
then take tar and apply it to the part, filling it well,
after which apply a linen cloth, well tarred, round the
tree, and let it stay for 12 months. This has been
practised by a Gentleman, for two years past, with
success.
