MRS rRY.

Friday se'nnight Mrs. Fax and her daughter, ac-
companted by her brother Mr. S. J. Guam and
his Lady, arrived at Mr. DAVID Docxames, in Man-
chester, having last been op. a visit to the Earl and
Countess of DERBY, at Knowsley. Next day Mrs.
FRY and her brother went to the New Bayley prison,
and were received by JAMES NORMA, Esq. the Police
Magistrate, who, with the Governor, Mr. Dutisratts,
conducted hem, in the most kind and obliging man-
ner, through the whole of the prison. They examined
the women's ward, day-rooms, work-shops, cells, &c.
and the men's also ; afterwards the new buildings,
the new chapel, &c. with which they were highly
pleased, and• as to their plan and construction ex-
pressed great satisfaction. They were very minute in
their inquiries relative to the accommodations of the
prisoners, and to the credit of the Governor and the
medical attendant, Mr. 0 Lt. ER. particularly remarked
on the cleanliness and wholesomeness of the prison.
In the afternoon of that day, this active pursuer of a
great self-imposed duty left Manchester for Sheffield,
Wakefield, fork, &c.

Thursday se'nhight a shark, measuring eight feet
two inches in length, was caught alive at sea, within
a few miles from Berwick, in a bob net, by a boat's
crew, while fishing for white fish.
A peasant in East Gothland, employed lately in
fishing in the river Staeng, drew out an eel which had
fast entwined itself round a golden Croton; richly set
with jewels ! It is supposed to have belonged to King
SIGISMUND, and that it was lost on the retreat after
the battle of Staengebro, in 1598, which cost himthe
Swedish Crown. The peasant has presented it to the
King of SWEDEN at Stockholm.—What reward the
lucky fisherman received is not mentioned !
Thursday sc'nnight as two Gentlemen were shoot-
ing,
at Barnsoul, a remarkably large snipe rose be.
fore them, at which, in order to make sure, they both'.
fired, and brought it clown. It proved to be of the
most beautiful plumage, and of the following weight
and dimensions :--8 ounces in weight, and measured
from tip to tip of the wings, 19i inches, and in length
from the top of the bill to the end of the tail, 1.31
inches. This perhaps was the largest bird of the
species ever seen in that part of the country.•
A beautiful young golden eagle, having a large
flat fish in its beak, was on Wednesday last shot
flying over Southampton Beach—it measured up-
wards of five feet from the extremities of its wings,
and is now in the possession of a chemist of that town.
The fish it had in its beak weiglied upwards of 11b.

LITERARY RE/ie.—An eminent collector and an-
tiquarian of Newcastle is possessed of a piece of the
skin of the late Charles Smith, executed near that
town last year for the milder of Charles Stewart,
which he has had tanned and dressed for the pur-
pose of binding a large paper copy of the murderer's
d,,ying speech ! ! !
Na',, atETROD OF MAKING BUTTER.—Put the cream
intended for butter into a strong linen cloth, tie it
up with a suing, dig a hole in the earth fifteen
inches deep, and let the bottom cf it be sufficiently
capacious to allow the cream in the linen cloth to lie
about four inches deep all over it. Put, another cloth
around that which contains the cream, to keep the
'earth from it. When deposited in the hole cover it
up with earth (but do not tread it down) and let it
remain twenty-four or twenty-six hours ; then take
it out and pour the cream, which will now be very
thick, into a bowl or other vessel, and stir it well
from five to ten minutes with a wooden spoon or
ladle, when the butter will be completely formed,
and may be taken out and washed as usual. The
advantages of this mode of making butter are as
follow, viz.-Ist, The cream yields a larger guar.-
tity of' butter, or an addition of about one pound In'
ten--2d, In hot weather butter is obtained without
a tedious process, and is free from the rancid taste
that long and hot churned butter ge2.crally possesses;
and Sd, A vcry sm it stack of may be ope-
rated upon equally as well as a larger quantity.
A tree us the garden of CHARLES SIMPSON, Esq.
of Whitburn West lkuse, has this season produced
the astonishing number of 1500 apricots, Mlle finest
quality.
AN EXTRAORDINARY Artm--Last week Mr.
Storm, of Wiserly Hall, near Wolsingham, pulled,
in his orchard, an apple measuring ES inches in cir-
cumference, and weighing 131 ounces. From the
same tree were pulled many others of nearly the same
size. They arc' of the kind commonly known by the
name of i'orkshire Green, peculiarly excellent as
keepers and bakers.— Dia.:ant Adver:iser.
Saturday, about seven o'clock in the morning, a
dog having every appearance of being mad, ran fu-
riously through the streets in the vicinity of Sdutif
Audley-street, Grosvenor-square. He made his way
into a stable-yard in Chapel-street, where he bit four
dogs. Several men assembled, armed with pitch-
forks, &c. to dispatch him, but it was a considerable
time before that cquld be effected, and during the'
conflict, they had great difficulty in avoiding the fe-
rocious attacks he made upon them. What mischief
he may have previously done is unknown. is re-
markable, that this event took place near the door of
a publican, who continues very ill, from the effects of
a bite he received some time ago, from the dog which
did so much mischief at Knightsbridge. In Mount-
street, there is another sufferer in a similar state, from
the same cause.
Wednesday se'nnight, about three o'elock in the
afternoon, the town of Douglas, Isle of Man, and its
immediate neighbourhood, were visited by one cf the
heaviest storms of rain and hail ever remembered,,
accompanied by thunder and lightning, and most
furious gusts of wind from the South-east. It coatinued for nearly an hour, during which time the town'
was completely inundated.
' Several parts of Wales, particularly in Cardigan-
' shire, have within this fortnight been visited by tre-
' mendous gales, accompanied- by torrents of rain. On
Saturday and Sunday week, the fall of rain in Car-
diganshire inundated whole districts. A new bridge
over the river Arth, and two houses in the village of
Penant, were swept away; another house, near a
• small brook in the vicinity of Aberayron, shared the
same fate. Near Tregaron trees were torn up by
' the roots, and the west end of Llanwenog bridge was
I swept away. The flood extended into Carmarthen..
shire, especially in the villages of Llansawel and
Mydrim, all around which was one expanse of water.
The roofs of houses anti' buildings in Irtantpliocis
were torn away by a Unica:lie.

' POLICI.

MAtatot; Hom.—Yesterday a youth named Da-
vid Lazarus, belonging to connections of respectabi-
lity, but recognized as a hardened offender at the
Old Bailey Bar, was committed for trial on a charge
of stealing a box filled with microscopes, on Thursday
last, from the warehouse of Mr. Brock, of Church-
row, Aldgate.
GUILDRALL.—Joseph Smith was yesterday brought
up, charged with embezzling money to the amount
of nearly £7OO from Mr. Fagg, of the Bell and Crown
Inn, Holborn. Mr. Fagg stated, that the prisoner
was employed by him in the Coach Booking Office,
and had lived with him for three or four years. In
the prisoner's account there was a deficiency of
£565; there was besides a defalcation, arising from
the non-payment of servants' wages, amounting to
fifty or sixty pounds. The servants could prove that
they had not been paid any part of their wages, and
the books would show that he (the witness) had been
charged with these sums by the prisoner.—lle was
remanded.
Bow-STREET.—Yesterday Thomas Jones was char-
ged with assaulting and wounding Mrs. Jane Mit-
chell, at the entrance of a house in Charles-street,
Westminster, in June last ; and the charge beiag now
satisfactorily made out, the prisoner was committed
for trial.
John Weaver was charged with stealing ten Cl
Bank-notes, the property of John Marriatt Hall, a
clerk to Me3sr.:. Houlditch, coach-makers in Long
acre ; who stated that the prisoner was a carpenter,
whom he employed to put a new lock on his box.—
Some time after he missed ont of his pocket-book,
which was in his box, ten £1 notes out of twenty-
four which were in it. Ile having their numbers and
dates, gave information at the Bank of England to
have them stopped.; and in a short time two of them
were paid into the Bank with the name of Weaver.
This, with other suspicious circumstances, caused
the prisoner to be .apprehended.—He was committed
for trial.

HATTON GARDEN.—Yesterday John- Moore, of
Tottenham-Place, Tottenham-Court-road, a bread-
chandler, was charged with selling bread deficient in
weight, and convicted in a penalty of C 5 33. 6d.

An insolvent debtor applied lately to the Court for
his discharge, at Liverpool, but was opposed on the
ground of his " having contracted del.ts without the
probable means of paying them." The charge was
substantiated, and be was remanded to prison for five
years, as the Act directs.
Romsertits.—On Friday night, about ten o'clock,
Captain JoimoN, of the Royal. Navy, residing at
Chelsea, was attacked by two:men on the Surrey-
side of Waterloo-bridge. One of them struck him a
violent blow with a bludgeon : his cries brought a
patrole to the spot, and the men ran away, without
.:.trecting their object.

On Sunday night, the house of Mrs. CHALICE,
No. 3, Chaieraft Temee Cobourg Theatre,. was
brokea open, and plundered of plate, linen, and ha-
berdashery, to the amount of £5OO. Mrs. CHALICE
is a widov.• with six children, and has recently com-
menced

On ;day Mr. Fl to: Y.'S', of the Comnsereial-road,
rAnilwll.:, was hustled at Croydon Fair, and robbed
of Lis watch.

At an early hour yesterday morning, two convicts
who were sentenced to be transported for life at the
late Lancashire Assizes, named James Twist, aged
23. and James Murray, aged 17, contrived to make
their cscape from the ship Bellerophon, lying at
Sheerness, in which they were placed to be conveyed
to New South Wales.—The same morning. Thomas
Cockburn, aged 22, who had received a similar sen-
tence. made his escape from the Royal Arsenal at
Woolwich.

MURDER AT NorrticottAish—(Fgrtherparticulars!)
On S iturday night, the 19th ultimo, a young man,
aged 19, of the name of Timms, an apprentice to a
tradesman in Nottingham, went from his master's
house, and not returning home that night nor the fol-
lowing day, an inquiry was set on foot respecting
him. This becoming gene rally known, a person who
lived near the bridge which crosses the river Trent,
about a mile south of Nottingham, remembered that
late on the above-mentioned evening he heard the
cry of " Murder" several times repeated by some-
body upon the bridge; and the man went out to as-
certain the cause, bit it being dark, and hearing no-
thing further, he returned to his house. The father of
thz young man missing made known thai his son had a
watch, amongst other things, about him: this reach-
ing the ears of a pawnbroker, he was able to recollect
that a soldier pawned a watch with him, which watch
' was iientified to be the property of the youth who
had been lost. The pawnbroker fortunately knew
the soldier, and the latter on being interrogated, sta-
ted that he bought the watch of two men, which
men he also knew. These latter two were apprehen- '
ded, and not being able to give a satisfactory accoupt
how they became possessed of the watch, they were,
kept • in safe custody, and during the whole of the
succeeding week diligent search seas made in the ri-
ver, but without the wished-for effect ; and a rumour
which gained universal credit being propagated on
Sunday last, that the young man had been %evil alive
in Derbyshire, the Magistrates were induced to libe-
rate the two men they had in hold. However, on
the following day the mystery was unravelled, by
dr, body of the unfortunate youth being seen float-
ing in the Trent, about two miles east of Notting-
ham. The corpse was' taken out of the river, and
conveyed to the church of Ilolme Pierrepoint ; and
information thereof being instantly sent to Jolts
HOUSEMAN BARBER, Esq. the Mayor of Nottingham,
he immediately dispatched police officers in quest of
the two rnen who had been set at liberty the day be-
fore, and•they were fortunately retaken before they
could possibly hear of 'the body of young Timms
being found. There is no doubt that the unfortunate
youth was robbed, murdered, and then thrown into
the river. A dreadful blow seemed to have been
inflicted obliquely across the eye and nose; and the
tartilege of the latter was broken by its force. An
inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, and a
'verdict returned of Wiyid Murder, by some per:Tnn or
persons unknown. One of the men in custody prove;
to be a 'son of Bamford, a notorious 'Luddite, who
was shot in the act of breaking into a houseld denio•
hsh some frame at Batfr:id.
