BRITISH AMERICA.

This morning a Mail arrived from Halifax, Nova
Scotia, in 30 days, by which we have received vari-
o►►s communications, but, as will be seen by the sub-
joined extracts, of a complexion very different, so far
as relates to emigrants, from the statements is the
Papers of the United States

" HALIFAX, (N. S.) OCTOBER 14.

le A most dreadful conflag: ation broke out in the
town of Halifax on the night of the 9th instant, by
which several buildings were in a short time totally
destroyed- The loss is calculated at i 840,000, which
has ruined several worthy individuals, but little of
the property. having been insured. Fortunately there
was scarcely a breath of wind at the time, or the
greater part of the town would have been destroyed.
The military composing the garrison, and the crews
of the ships of war were most actively employed on•
this distressing occasion, and have been highly and
justly applauded for their exertions.

Thurso, in Scotland, with one hundred and thiriknine.

nics. • The emigrations to all parts of America ap

went, and British vessels carrying away numbers of
their deluded countrymen back to Great Britain; and
at this moment there has actually been a British fri-
gate in one of the American ports entering men to
complete her crew. Numbers of letters have of late
been received in America, from deserters of the army
and navy, imploring permission to be allowed to re-
turn upon any terms ; and the English seamen who
have entered into the United States' navy complain
most bitterly of their treatment and the extreme se-
verity of their discipline, and say, that although their
wages are seemingly greater, they are badly fed, and
have to purchase every article at an exorbitant rate.
Seamen consequently enter for the American ships of,
war with great reluctance, and only when distress

compels them.
14 About the first week in September, three hundred
and sixty-dght settlers or emigrants arrived at Q Jebec
from Great Britain, and six other vessels were then
reported going up the River St. Lawrence, with
passengers !
It is in contemplation to send a Steam vessel
from the United States to Russia, where it is said-the
Emperor has promised an exclusive privilege for the
term of twenty years.

" At the village of Dartmouth, opposite Halifax,
was lately launched a Tease vend, for the conveyance
of passengers, lc& across the harbour. This vessel
consists of two very long and, narrow boats, connect.
ed at &bast twenty feet distance by a large platform
several hundred feet in circumference, on which is
placed a building, in which are the passengers, and
the horses, which work the wheels or paddles. The
horses are nine in number. This vehicle was launch-
ed in presence of an immense concourse of specsators,

which the novelty of such a circumstance
tracted. It is named the Sherbrooke, '
to the late worthy Governor of v,
expense of the construction u,

PAUL was soon afterwards Arrested and conducted to

honour the first moments of his reign by restoring-his

Thursday evening lest, about six o'cb4ck, a daring
robbery was cnmr:►itted on the road between earn-
staple and Bideford, on the person of Mr. Solomon.
Aston, a travelling Jew. The villain took from
h;rn his box, containing property to a considerable
auviiii.t. and two ►;old watches from his packets, and
also threatened to murder him with a large clasp knife
which he held in his hand, if he offered resistance —1
The fellow has, as yet, eluded the vigilance of the
per sons in pursuit of him.
On the night of Wednesday sennight an extensive
and dating rohiiery was committed at Kilgwyn
House, near Llaneadock, Carmarthenshire, the seat
of J. J. HoLewin, Esq. The house was forc►bly en.
tered, and every article of plate stolen, with a qui-m-
-lily of wearing apparel, and a horse (worth upwards
of I<lo guineas) taken from the stables, equipped
with-a new saddle and bridle. by which the offender
was enahled_to get off with his booty, the robbery not•
having been• discovered by the servants till seven
o'clock in the morning. A shabby looking pony, on
wi.icli a suspicious character had appeired some days
before at Llandovery,•being found near the house at
day-light, tended to confirm the opinion that this man
was the depredator. He was therefore pursued, and
apprehended near the bridge over the Wye, leading
into Koss. He had with him saddle-bags, containing
the whole of the plate and valuables stolen. The of
lived as servant in the family two years ago, ani
came from London purposely to effect the daring en-
terprise I He acknowledged that he had the assistance
of accomplices ; and such information has been ob- 1
tained respecting them ai it is hoped will speedily
lead to their apprehensVn. The, prisoner, before he.
left Kilgwyn House, deliberately equipped himself in
the garments he had stolen, and substituted his own
habiliments in their place. The plate he carried off
amounted in value to several hundred pounds.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 13.
Ithl v. TDB D •CK C •MPANY ('F DULL.
This was a -case from the Sessions for the East
kiiing of Yorkshire, for the porprae of taking the
opinion of thus' Court upon the legality of a rate
assessed upon the defendants in respect of the pro.
ceeds of the Hull Docks, for the relief of the Poor
of the Parish of Scultinttes,•and which the Sesions
had affirmed. I'he c .se stated that the Appellants
had, for thirty-four years, paid poor.rates in respect
of the annual average amount of their Dock Dues,
Which dues were admitted to be legally the subject
of rate. In the Epiphany Session: the defendants
appealed against a rate amounting ter. £IS6. 13s. 4i.
in respect of the sum of ,C 22•10, alledged to be the
average value of the proceeds which had come to
their hands during a period of six months. The
ap-
pellants resisted payment, on the ground that they
were rateable only for the net proceeds which they
had received, and that they were not liable for the
present rate, inasmuch as the whole of the proceeds,
in respect of which they were rated, had been ap-
plied, ie pursuance of the 14th Geo. 11 I. c. 56. by
which the Company were incorporated, for the pur-
pose of repairing the Demks and Basen„ and come-
qii(ntly there were no net proceeds upon which the
rate could apply. Tile question, therefore, was,
whether the 1). ck Company were liable for, their
gene, el income, without reference to the amount of
their net proceed; ?
03 behalf of the Parish it was contended as a ge-
neralprop ,sition, that the beneficial occupation of
all property Of this deseription was liable to the relief
of the poor, and for this was cited Ree.O. The Salter
Sluice Ntvig 'Lion, 4 T. tt. 730, and 1 T. It. 219.
'There was no question that prin:a facie the property
here was lieble, and it had been decidtl in Rex v.
Ager, 14 East R. 2.56, that property prioiariiy liable
coulJ nut be relieved itt.rn its liability. by reecon of
the pr: coeds having been susscquently applied to
other purprees connected with the property rated.—
Wit was a case where the trustees of a Methodist
Chapel had been rate& in respect of the profit arising
from letting pews; and it was contended that they
were not ',able, because the whole of the proceeds
had been exhausted in the saLry of the Minister and
the Singing-master. The whole system of rating, in
all cases of this description, proceeded according to
the average annual value of the property,'without
reference to its subsequent application. Such was
the d ictrine laid down with resrect to Madder and
H4ps, which were pi ofitable only once in three years;
and also in respect to underwood cut but once in 20,
years. In all these cases, the average value of the
property being divisible, was apportioned to each
year, and upon the proportionate annual value the.
rate was fixed. It it cellist be allowed to the Dock
Company to set off their expenses In repairing the
Ducks, against the rate, how easy would it be for
them to wait until a year when a heavy rate was to
be paid, and then avail themselves of the opportunity
of bestowing all their annual proceeds to the purpose
of repairs, and excuse themselves from the payment
of any rate at all ? Undoubtedly they,were entitled
to some allowance for rear 'table and necessary re.
pairs ; bet that principle could not extend to the
whole disbursement of their annual n eans upon ob-
jects which they might deem necessary.
In supp in of the Appeal, it was admitted, that
the Proceeds coming to the hands of the Appellants,
were rateable to the poor ; but inasmuch as the Act
of Parliament was compulsory upon them to lay out
' a certain sum of money at. stated periods, to repair
the Ducks for the benefit of the public, as far as they
' were interested in that object, the defendants were
not liable, under Such c;rcumstances, for more than
the net profits, arising from their proceeds, after pay-
,ing all necesseryaexpenses for that purpose. •
The Cower, fiowever, were unanimously of opi-
nion, that the Appellants were liable in respect of
their genera average proceeds, Without reference to
any ulterior objects which they might have in view.
It was their duty to provide a fund out of their-gene-
ral profits, in anticipation of those expenses which
they knew they must necessarily incur in the main-
tainance of the Docks in due and proper repair. Be-
sides,-upon reference to the Act it appeared, that in
case the ordinary proceeds of the Company were not
sufficient for this purpose, they were empowered to
call upon all those persons who participated in the
dividends arising from the property, to refund suffi-
cient Means of keeping up the necessary repairs of
the Docks. The cases cited upon the subject Were
sufficient authority for the Court to act upon on the
present occasion, and in conformity to the doctrine
there laid down, the Order of Sessions must be affirm-

COURT OF EXCEINUF.4, NOVEMBER. 11
THE KINO 0 'NW/X.
At twelve o'cleck the Judge* sat in the Exchequet
Chamber, to hear the arguments of C 'ousel on the rea
served case of Towle, one of the Luddite:, cons
%timed before Mr. Baron GRAIIAM, at Leicester.—
The prisoner was one of those persens connected with
the frame breakers, and was charged, with several
others, with shooting at certain of his Majesty's sub-
jects, with intent to kill. The two p ,rots reserved
were, first, that the Jury ferrying found the prisonci
guilty of being present, but not of firing the pirol, he
could not be found guilty as a principal ; anri fur.
titer, that en account of the word.{ feionieusly" being
omitted in the counts, charging hire v.etti being an
cider and abettor, neidei could he be found guilty
upon those counts..
Mr. DENMAN was heard at considerable length hi
support of the objections ulcers at the trial, and sub.
mitred, that the prosecuter's Coencel, by having put
the questior to the In y, whether the prisoner was the
person who fired the gun or not, and having drawn
from them an opinion, must not new complein, if that
opinion shreuld prod fatal to the ;aelsecntion.
Mr. REVNILDI, on the other siee, espied in sup.
port of the verdict Guilty ; and contended, that mi.
word 66 feleseously" being mentioned in the first
colint, must be taken to be so connected with else
words g 6 then mid there present aiding and assisting'
in the other counts, so as to ever-rule them all. Tne
Learned Counsel also contended, that 'his case came
precisely under the provisions of the Black Act, and,
therefore, that all those aiding and abetting must be
considered as principals. With respect to the guess
Lion put to the Jury, and their finding upon it, the
question itself was unnecessary, and the answer to it
ought, in no way, to affect the verdict in a legal point
of view.
The Judges took time to consider their Judgment.
INiOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
Yesterday the CHAIRMAN, upon the opening of ehe
Court, referred to a letter 'which' he hied receieed
horn Mr. Lewis, one of the Agents of the Cour',
with respect to the conduct of Mr. el .like, who hal
lately held the office of Cletk. Teis letter stated,
that £BO had been lodged with Mr. Clerksi, in
order to be p .id over to the assignee of the creditors
of a Mr. Levi, who was some time since discharged.
by the Court, bust that Mr. Clarke had not made this
payment, al.hough frequently applied to on thesub-
ject. The CHAIRthAN, after observing that the oti.
ginal papers. with regaid to the order of the Court
respectmg this suns, and which had been placed in
the hands of Mr. Clarke, were now, it appeared, lint
to he found, returned to the letter, in • wiech the.
writer stated, that he had lately applied in person to
Mr. Clarke, in order to have the AM paid ever,
but,' in reply to this application, Mr. Choke said,
that he had signed a paper, endear:zing the Court to
ply certain sums in its hands belonging to him,
which sums were sufficient to discharge the claim of
the assignee of the creditors of Levi, as well as sail
similar claims upon him, in consequence of his con.
nection with that Come. The CHAIRMAN, however,
observed, that Clarke had mis.stated the case to Mr.
Lewis; for the purport of the paper. which Clarke
bad signed was an engagement to furnish, upon oath,
to the Lords of the Treasury,' his• accounts as ben
Officer of that Court, which engagement had not yet
been fulfilled. The CHAIRMAN. added, that the sun
in the hands Of the Court, for account of Clark-,
amounted to MOO, and that this sum was not suffi.
cient to cover that Officer's defiti.ncies.
Upon the appearance of Metirs. P. SMITH a
Pote.ocK in Coda, the Chairman stated, that on !e.
viewing the case of Thomas Joseph Murray, who
was remanded on Tuesday, considering the looseness
of the statement that Murray waif a Lieutenant-Co.
lonel in the Spanish service—that stetemeat resting .
solely upon the prisoner's own deposition ; and look.
ingilso to the schedule in which the prison• r described
himself is a Lieutenant, 'although, by his own con.
fession, he held no commission whatever in either the
navy or army of England, 'while be 'alleged that he'
was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Spanish se-vice. he
(the Chairman) felt the propriety of adjudging.thet
this prisoner's petition should be ditcharged.

Friday, there war a numerous Meeting of the In.
habitants of Calton, Glasgoir, in the vacant
,ground
behind the Meeting-hi:nue in Kirk•street, to Like into
consideration the present distresses of the country,
when a aeries of Resplutions, similar to those paned
in other &wit, Onying for retrenchment and reform,
were read and unanimonily agreed to. The whole
proceedings were conducted with the greatest order.

On the chalk, salts ef, that part. of the county of
Neat called the Isle Of Thanet, te moisten of the

early, and generally pod ited abundant; theit wheat
has been boaad, thrashed (by Machine), tied mid,
already at 955. a quarter. in toast ears.
A lessee of tithes in the isle, of more than
acres, has found 12 quartere96 bushel's of oats, from;
a single acre; and, generally, has found his tithe.,
root of due year equal nearly to the sometimes whole4l
value of the produce of the land..
In Detitsbire, near Reading, a few year, ago, a
farmer reaped 41i quarters, about 330 bushels of
eoryoats, on 2j acres of old hop ground. 1110 Tartuyi
oat is excellent feed for horses; in meeting, it will
not yield mach more than two.thirds of some strong
eats. The farmer, very properly, for memorial, carved
the record of the fors on his barn-dowor walls.
About 40,000 cwt. of the best beef and pork of Ire-;
lapd were last week sold to Government, by a Lon-
done, under 20s. a cwt. or Id. per lb. to be delivered
nest spring. for army, navy, and garrison uses—about
one quarter of a large war expenditure in this way.
A very intelligent and well.tempered farmer of
Cambridgeshire, who farms 1090 acres, writes, that it',
will now cost him £6OO to top.dress 200 acres of wheat,
with oil, or malt-dust, ot chives, and, after all, a very
uncertain ssanure.bis crop also eiposed and liable
to isiidino, which he knows not how to prevent.
A Mr. WILLIAM Foneas has publicly offered the'
communication ot the recta of a compost for manure,
to top-dress. land, for three crops, at only 10s. an
acre, and proposes to sow it for ss. !—and by this
manure to increase the produce of grain eight to 12
bushels per acre This secret it seems highly de-
sirable to know, and very important to experiment,
at ace, fairly, by the farmers of the Ogee kingdoms.
Our farmers too should recollect, that when they
sold their wheat of recent years at per quarter,
•this was only the price of are oz. of gold, or of 18 on.
silver, and if they now sell their crop, at 44 per quar-
ter, this price will arte procure them more than one
os. of gold, and we than 20 oz. of silver, and in a
simlltr treater of many other things : —the precious
metals, matey, currency, exchanges, and Bank paper,
have mach changed ,in their relative values; the
stockholder and annuitant, the mortgagee and the
Bank, have now their turn of a great advantage.
In The Isle of Wight, three acres only of a good
vegetable mould, of about 18 feet deep, with the hop.
bine on it, have let for 4600 a year rent !
Iu Hampshire the farmers have spread fifteen loads
tithe manure of Portsmouth town ou an acre of wheat

land, sit the expense of 10s. a load fur the dung and
cartage only. This year above 7,000 loads of this va-
luable stuff have been thrown into the sea, because no
takers could be found fet it at ls. a load 1 This is the.
way to reduce the riches and abundance of the soil,
and to make scarce and dear the food of the people.
In some years have been grown in Kent more than
fitty bushels of wheat per acre, neatly ninety of bar-
ley, 112 of oats, and above sixty of beans and peas;
of clover, a general average is three tons with them.
In the lands of Romney Marsh they can grow for
twenty suseessive years seventy to eighty bushels of
wheat and beans per acre. •
Potatoes are not much cultivated in the Isle of
Thanet : two or three hundred acres, planted the last
and the present season yield about 360 bushels, or
nearly ten tons per acre-.the food of nearly twenty
persons, for a year, from a single acre!
All this does not spring from the clay of the soil,;
or tall with the rains or dews from heaven, nor is
produced by aft or sun-beams t it is the glad reward
of toil and care, the growth andreturn of a well-fed
land, fattened manure, The iteneish farmer does
not spare the dung, which he turns to golden grain,
and gold itself. He endeavours to manure richly all
his soil, once in four years—one quarter of his breadth
of land each year. A farin of 250 acres had last
year 3000 loads of manure carried out, on about 60
Acres, forty to fifty loads per acre; and the same
4uandtr will be laid on another sixty acres the pre-
sent season. This is farming.
And this is stated to shew the great importance, in
viticulture for grain for human sustenance, of the
Material dement of manure. Manure is the sterling
stoney, the metallic currency, the thing of power sod
revalue, in the cultivation of all the grain and rich
• required of the earth for a dense population of
mm and their cattle. Kent has some advantages hero
intim salt and sea-weeds of its coasts.-
Of bow 'much importance then is the knowledge
mid pnelession of a cheap, abundant, and general
compost for a good manure, which can be made on
qat lands, of a quality too to almost insure fertility
and a large increase of production.
The 'praise of the condition and occupation of the
seicukurist, in the passionate exclamation of our
Motto, was uttered about 2000 years ago by a has

the universe, who had the tradition and observation
of.more than 12(X) years fail before them. The food

There is reason to believe, that in this respect wen

Villain, who brokeopen his bed room door, and took
from thence a chest belonging in a Benefit Society of
Females, containing in Bank notes ie4o and upwards,
some silver, several stock receipts, and other pia
perty. They also plundered the drawers of a goon-
thy of wearing apparel, silk shawls, &c. No trace
'whatever could be made of the depredators ; but it
appeared from the evidence of a man named Mat-.
thews, rending in Moor-fields, that about six o'clock
on Sunday morning last, -he discovered a chest out.

taining a quantity of papers, but without property.

concerned in die robbery'. There was not, however,
the slightest evidence in support of the charge. and
the LORD MAYOR was of opinion that this theft was
committed by some one well acquainted with Riley's
house, and ordered Matthews, who is a person of ex-
cellent character, to be discharged.
A man named Maas Lee, a well known character,
was next put to the bar, charged on suspicion of being
concerned in the above robbery.—Harrison and

resides near where the box was found, and.before he
was out of bed searched the house, when they found
three notes of ilf6 each, and some smaller ones, con-
cealed in a drawer. On these was discovered the
mark of the Secretary to the Benefit Society in ques.
lion, but that person could not prove whether they
had been lodged in the chest or not. There was also
found in the apartments of the prisoner a quantity of
silk and other property, together with some screw-
drivers and other instruments. Harrison in addition
stated, that the prisoner was suspected of stealing a

but the evidence in the case was not prepared.—
Under these strong circumstances the prisoner was
remanded for another examinatioa.

Comma's IN4llllllllll.—Thealay an laciest was
held before J. W. Useerix, Esq. Coroner, at the
Leaden HosPital, which escited a strong interest,
pntly from the suspicions which existed, as well as,
from the infamOus notoriety of some of the patties
implicated. It appeared from the evidence, which
Was Chiefly drawn front the declarations of the de.
osesed, whose name was Elisabeth Willmott, that

Sunday even-
eg she was pressed by Davis to Ito into the streets
for the purpose of prostitution, which, she refusing,
was kicked in the side by Davis and a Mrs. Cohen.
On Sunday she was taken by Cohen to Catherine.
wbeel.alley, Whiterhapel, where she was again ill
treated, for refusing to associate with some man of
colour. On Monday morning, being thought dan-
gerously ill, she taken to the London liospi,
where she died on Thursday morning. This acco
was given by the deceased at the Hospital to the
nurses. It did not appear that the deceased thought
herself in a dying state at that time. On •the other
hand, the sister sand aunt of the deceased denied that
she 1.a.1 ever been in service at Enfield, and the sister,
Mary Fruer, in particular,, deposed, that she bad
lived for thelast twelvemonth'on the wages of pros-
titution. She was twenty-two years of age. Mary
Castle, her aunt, visited • her while in the hospital,
and to witness's inqbiry as to the cause of her illness,
she merely stated that she had met with an accident.
Two medical Gentlemen were examined, who stated,
that when the deceased Om came into the Hospital,
the complained of having received kicks and bruises
on her left side. That on examining her body after
death, they found that these bruises were wholly su-
perficial,and had not in any degree affected the internal
parts. Considerable inflammation was found on the
right lobe of the lungs, which terminated in an effu-
sion of water, which produced her death. The in:.
flammation waseon her right side, and the bruises on
her left. There was no connection between them,
nor was her death in any degree hastened by the
bruises which were found upon her. The Coroner
said, that the declarations of the deceased at the Hos-
pital could not be admitted as evidence, unless she
considered herself in a dying state, and they were not
merely unsupported. best contradicted in part by
other evidence. The deceased had not been seduced
by these infamous women, though she had received
several violent contusions, but as these had no opera-
tion on her death, they would constitute the charge
of assault merely, and not that of murder or man-
slaughter. The jury returned a. Verdict of—Na-
tural Death.
An Inquisition was taken on Tuesday afternoon,
at the George. Finchley Common, upon the body of
a man unknown, who was found dead by the side of
a ditch, on the Common, the same morning. William
Rose said, that he was walking over the Common
that morning, about six o'clock, and saw the deceased
lying upon the bank of a ditch quite dead ; he wa-,
nearly covered with mud, and appeared to Live,
fallen into the ditch, and crawled to the side ; he was
very ragged and emaciated ; he conveyed him to the
.George public-house. A certificate of Mr. snow, a
surgeon, at Highgate, was 'read by the Coroner, for
the information of the Jury. It certified that he had
opened the body of the deceased, and he was per-
fectly satisfied that he bad not died for want of food ;
but he was of opinion that the deceased's death was
occasioned by a sudden attack of illness while exposed
on the Common to-the open air and the inclemency
of the weather. The Jury, after examining the body,
and seeing that there were no marks of violence upon
it, returned a Verdict—Died by the Visitation of GOD.
On the evening of Saturday se'nnight, a scuffle
ensued between some poachers and game-keepers, on
the estate of thee Hon. ions Derroe, at Sherburne,'
in Gloucestershire, when one of the poachers, of the
name of Simmons, received a blow on the temple
fron: a suck, which caused his death soon after —An
Inquisition was held on the body, and it appearing
that the confusion was so great during the affray that
the deceased might have been struck by his own
party, the Jury brought in a verdict—Manslaughter
against some person or persons unknown.—Three of
the poachers concerned in the above affair have-been
committed to gaol.
tired, who --"'- committed suicide in St. James's
watch.house, was buried at the end of Bridie.lane at
two o'clock on Tuesday. The body was deposited
about two feet from the surface of the ground, and
during Tuesday there was much murmuring amongst
the inhabitants at the body being committed to the
earth before their doors. At night the body was
taken up by some persons and left in the street. 'As
might have been expected, the place was a scene of
riot and confusion. and the body was dragged about
the street in the most disgraceful manner. Infor-
mation was given at Marlborough-street of the horrid
circumstance, and with tbeassistance of parish officers,
the body was conveyed to the workhouse yesterday,
it was again committed to the earth.

Instead of a Surveyor of Taxes for each of the
four Wards of the County of Durham, as formerly,
Government' has reduced the number to two, who for
a salary of RB9 a year each, have to make themselves
acquainted with every window, carriage, horse, and
dog in half a county.
'rhe Chacewater Mine, in Cornwall, has been com-
pelled to cease working, by which upwards of GOO
persons are thrown out of, employment.
.EurLoystzuT or Till Pooc—Nobly alive to the
sufferings of the poor `at this distressing crisis, the
Officers, noncommissioned officers, and men of the
64th regiment, in Plymouth garrison, have generously
subscribed a day's pay, amounting to more than 440,
in support of the funds of the Association there.--
This trait of military feeling does honour to the regi-
, ment and to the country:. Government also, with a
degree of wisdom and policy which cannot be too
much commended, 'lave been engaging_ men and
give
women for to or three days past at Mill Prison,
with the view of establishjng a depot there of vat ions
useful manufactures. The Committee at Plymouth,
acting with a similar spirit, hive a very excelleut
plan to csutempletion, which will not only adtninister
greatly to the Pleasure of the public, if effected, but
say become the source of great private advantage,
