CORN-EXCHANGE, 111.11.1-LANE, OCT. 3.

There being but few arrivals of any kind of Grain since last
market day, and the milltrs having established the price of Flour
at 804. per sack, fine samples of Wheat were brisk sale, at an ins.
provement of from 2s. to Zs. per quarter on Monday's prices. In
Bonded Wheat the demand was also lively, as the prospect of high
prices warrant the idea that that Grain will be released Irons lock
and key duty free. Malting Barley being scarce, more money was
made for the few samples that appeared. Old; Beans are ss. per
quarter dearer. Oats were from Is. to tis. per quarter higher.

DON PELAYO.

The trumpet echoes sweet and clear,
And boldly peals the drum,
Like homers in their green wood cheer,.
The Spanish champions come.
The falchion glitters in the light,
The lance is in the band,
So help them in their bloody fight
01 For Heaven and their Native Land!"
They saw, from the mountain's crown of pine
To the valley's sparkling rill,
The Noorman'* steely thousands shine,
As they marched to the war-lawn shrill.
They looked to the left, anti they looked to the right,
And they saw but their o*s weak band;
But that day t►e peasant stood like the knight
" For Heaven and his Native Land !"
Before the Moorish squadrons sparred
The Fair ma a steed,
That flew o'er the field like the desett•bird;
The charger's hoof of speed
Was silver-shod, his floating none
Shook diamonds upon the sand,
And emerald's wove his bridle's chain,
The spoil of our " Native Land!"
His rider checked him hi full career,
And " ye Christian cowards!" cried,
" Why venture from your mountains drear,
Where the goat and the crow abide ?
Wby venture from the naked rock,
Fit haunt for its robber band'
Or come ye, ye wolves, to tear the flock
Of the lords of your olastard land?'
No an;wer Don Velars gave
But his lance's mighty swing;
Its steel the turhait'd boaster clave
Thro' cuirass.plate and ring ;
" Now Coo for Spain:" Pelayo
• And each man drew forth hh• brind.
And broad on his it.lllllef was displ.-.yed
" For Heaveit and our Native Lind!"
Like a torrent checked on its wintry hill,
Like'a gathering thunder-cloud,
Stood the Spanish band a moment still,
Then hoist on the bloottnan proud;
They ploughed their ranks, its the winter waves
Are plough, d by a war-ship grand,
Tey trasstpled in blood the infidel slaves,
And saved their " NA the Land!"

Wednesday evening a little before eight o'clock, as
Cos, one of ihecondeetors ofthe Bow-street patrol, and
taro nt his party, ware on dory in Great Ormond street,
Quein-square, they observed a young and genteelly-
d.essed man pars on the opposite side w•th a large bag
ors his shoulder filled to the mouth. Just before hill
waked another man- olvery respectable appearance.
Medlycott observed to his brother officers that he
thought there was something wrong there, and at once
walked over and followed the men. He went up to the,
one with the bag and' put his hand upon it, with
a view of ascertaining what sort of goods were in it,
whets the bearer, feeling the pressure, turned round,
and without saying a word, dropped the bag and
ran off at full •peed. The persist' who was walk-
ing before him also ran off in a different direction.
The man who had carried the bag ran into Queen-
square, at the northern extremity of which there is no
thoroughfare. and finding this, he leaped over the palings
int', the plantations in the centre of the square. Med.
lycntt was close to his heels, but missed him, and lost
bon for a time amongst the trees. He, however, routed
him from his hiding place. and be made towards
Guildford-street, to reach which, however, he had
to climb over three separate iron railings, and had
succeeded io scaling two of them, and was about
to .attempt the third, when •Medlycott caught him.—
The mast had on his feet a pair of light slippers, ex-
tremely well calculated for pacing the roof of a house
or the interior without beinebeard. Medlyc.it also
found a garnet shirt-pin stuck upon a .green-grocer's
bill: Tar Contents of the bag were examined, and found
to comic of shirts, ladies' dresses of a very elegant and
expentee kind, a silk cloak, and Gentlemen's wearing
apparel. The man being secured, the officers made in-
quiries, and sor•n ascertained that the house of a Gentle-
Irian narned.Follitt, Great Ormond-street, bad been
entered and robbed. The house next door bad been
empty for some time, aid it appeared that the thieves
etitrred that by a skeleton key, and I roceeded to
the top of the house, got out of the attic window,
and' thus made their way to the rm f of Mr. Follitt's
premises. There hey broke a pane of glass, forced away
an frail bar, and obtained an ebtrance. Trey ransacked
the' secOnd'and third &WO, taking away a gold watch,
value about 401. a diainond and a garnet pin, 151. in
money, and a quantity of wearing apparel. They did
not go below the second floor, from a fear, no doubt,
of alarming the family. The only person in the house
at the time was a servant girl. The thieves retreated
bY'the same way that they entered the house. The
property found upon the man having been recognised
by the maid servant, he was taken to Eagle-street watch-
house, arid given in charge, with particular directions
that Ire shoirld be u ell secured. Yestsrday morning
MedlyCott 'went to the waichhouie, for the purpose of
taking the prisoner before a Magistrate, when hr- nas
a tonished to find he had effected his escape. ft ap-
peared that in one corner of the room in which he wits
pe by the constable there is a water-closet, and a spout
fidonitbove for the admission of water. At the top of
this spoutthe only obstruction to a free passage to the
open' air was a half-inch der, board. The prisoner
climbed op by the spout, pulled down the deal board,
and tita.fe his way to :he roof of a shed in a cow-yard
adjoining. He joalard into the yard, removed the bar
of the fording Rates, and walked out. The proprietor
of the cow-yard; and several other persons, saw this
last feat, but off-red iso obstruction to the man's escape

discoverers a few )eats ago, there can be no doubt but
the commendable and scientific pursuit of Mr. It. wilt
prove highly iuteresting both to tlie historian and the
antiquary. Although the workmen have only continued
their labi.urs for a few oily., they have already dug up

Thursday afternoon the following daring trick was
successfully played off in this town. As one of the
assistant ostlers at tl;e King's Head was returning from
the liver with a horse and a black pony, be was accosted
in Green-street by a respectable looking man, who, afterl
swearing at the ostler for having taken his pony, as hr
did not allow it to be washed at the river. slipped off
the halter, lei it down the street, put a bridle on it, and
rode away. The ostler, on returning to the ion, was
surprised to find that the individual who had taken the'
pimy was not the owner; but in the bustle of the town
the thief escaped with the animal.—Bury Herald.
Another instance of the gross ignorance and super-
stitimil'which are so prevalent in some of the French
provinces, occulted a shrift tame ago at Bucigny.Three
young gills of that place having been soddenly attacked
on the same day with convuisions, it was instanty
rumoured that they had been bewitched. In conse-
quence of this rumour, nearly 400 persons went in pro-
cession to the house inhabited by these females, where
some of the leaders performed a variety of exorcisms.
A woman who had been with them on the preceding
evening became suspected of having bewitched them,
and fled for safety to the house of the Mayor, who pro.
tested her from violence. The mob, however, deter•
mined to release the ferrules from the charm under
which they were supposed to be suffer ingt a ere continu-.1
ing their exorcisms, when an immense triad, which was 1
crossing a path-way, near the house, was f eiceived acs
the exoi cisors, who immediately concluded that the evil
spirit which had he itched the young females had taken
the fin or of this animal, and condemned ;: to death. It
was roasted alive in the presence of the females, und. r
the received impression in th et part of the country, that
its proportion as the wizard or witch suffers the person
bewitched derives relief. in this case, however r, the con-1
vulsions were greater after the tlecution of the toad
than they were previously, and the crowd Tinted
spot to mid fresh deliberati,at. The Procooreut du Ifni
being informed of this affair, sent a physician to el-
- the females, and received the report that ihry
were merely suffering ender a nervous affection, wind'
would very shortly yield to pool remedies.

asked her whether she would take is. or Os. a week, and keep the
three children? which she said she would, if he would give it her.
Ile then struck he r a violent blow on the side, saying," take that."
She called out " murder;" on which he desired her to be silent,

and went into the next room, but ht- lurched at the door, and told
her to come in, and said she should not go to Petry's any owe.
She went into her room and lay down in her clothes. He was eery
