THE SILK TRADt.

FROM THE COVENCRY HERALD OW lIRIDAF.
The under-mentioned cornrow 'cation was received by tit this
morning. We have therefore only time to congratulate the rlbar•,d-
manufacturers of this city span the veer favourable resulenf the
labours of their deputation. 1
" Parliament-street, March it.
" Sir,--I have seen Afr 4 Husidnott avid ME Grant Upon the
subject of the regalations •under which it h proposed that time
importatiou of silk goods shall be permitted tftet the g& ar Jr*
next, and I am in consequence en bled, In aniirel• to *.* very
pressing ineviries, to state to you what wine of the principal of
those regulations will be.

Ist.-It is intended to propose to Parliament, thst for the srst
few years (and until the. qualities of silk goods shall he better under-;
stood by the officers of the -customs than they can be at the firm
opening of the tradtl, the importation shall he confined tit London.,
with the exception of small quantities in the posiession trf p'asatrit-
gers coming into other ports of the country, and for tvbese user
suitable regulations shall be made. ' •

" Bd. That it is conceived, that if the pieces of sift end of
ribands be imported is lengths of a fixed number of yards, neitiaet
more nor less, the doe examination of the goods by the r;flicers of
.the customs will be greatly facilitated. It le, therefore, proposed;
that ribands shall not be imported except in pieces of 36 yard:, and
in baLf 'pieces of 18 yards each, and that broad silks shall not be
imported escept in pieces °f6° yards each. A modetate allowance
will be made for errors in such measurement.

"3d. That silk goods shall not be imported except' in packages
of a given weight, which will certainly not be less than inolb.
This is a very common regulation as applied to goods which are
susceptible of smuggling.
" 4th. Tables will be prepared for charging a ratio duty by
weight, equivalent, as nearly as possible, to 301. per cent. upon the
value of the goods, in all eases wherein such a mode uf.apportion-
ing an ad stators= duty sban be made applicable.
" I am happy in being permitted to make this communication to
you • but although I believe that the duty on thrown silks will be
modified, and in sortie degree reduced, I am not authorised to
give you any positive information on that subject.

to be a foreign letter curler. and did not know but he was so
yet on looking closely at the post inarkflee-eaw that it was a mese
effort to copy the foreign mark, very clumsily done with common
ink, and he immediately charged the prisoner with the fraud, which
the latter at once erasfeseed, on a constable being called to take him
into custody: on elamining the supposed Lisbon letter, it ti

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.,

Extract of a.private letter, dated Bristol, Dec 17.
A melancholy catastrophe took place here on Friday
.evening;; about a quarter past eleven o'clock. A fire
broke out at p Mr..oxley's, a haberdasher's shop, the
corner of VVine.street, in which his wife and three chil-
dren -have perished in the lames. •It appears the bed-
curtains took, tire after they were in bed, and he was
awoke by the flames around him ; he forced his way
dreadfully cut and burnt through the window into the
street ;. a female servant and a child threw themselves
into the street, and were caught by the people outside
with little injury. The man. was so much hurt and
agitated that he could..not communicate to the people
the situation of his wife and children only by gesture.
and dreadfully agonised feelings, which the persons
around him did not understand, but supposed it related
to those who had escaped, otherwise it is probable some
part would have been saved, as several persons forced
their way into an adjoining room, and saved part of
the furniture. The, wife was found in bed with the
lower parts all destroyed, but the face and arms not
much burnt; it is supposed she was suffocated even
before he left the room, as he shook her; but could not
awale her. The back part of the house comes in com-
munication, or nearly so, with the White Hart. We at
one time were afraid it would reach us, as they Could
not get water; consequently we all•packed up and pre-
pared for the worst ; one of the engines was•supplied
with water from out house, so that we had fifty or sixty
of the worst characters in Bristol about the premises for
two hours ; however; about three o'clock all was safe.

Till INQUEST.

At eleven o'clock on Saturday Morning, J. 13: Gatx•
DON, EN. the Coroner, held an inquest at the Plume of
Feathers, in Wine-strret. The Jury first went and in-
•pected the mutilated remains of the four bodies. The
.ody of Mrs. Oxley wis lying on a pallet; on pat-
, .ially removing the coverlid, one of the most shock-

... ... . .

ing spectacles we ever witnessed presented itself;
I not a . particle of flesh retrained, and the bones
appeared a mere cinder reaJy to tumble into
ashes ; the legs and arms were all broken short off
at the first joints. The bones of the two youngest were
Plying togeth,er in a box, and the other body was taken
up in a sheet, all' lying on one bed. The Jury were
strongly moved at the shocking spectacle, and withdrew
with feelings of grief and hoe ror depicted in their
countenances. The names of the suffereri were S3phia
Oxley, the mother, aged about 35 ; and William, Sophia,
and Ann, the children, varying from six weeks to
'nine Years ;. but we have not been able to ascertain the
precise age each.
The Jury were occupied for a long . time in hearing evidence
touching this diaastPr, after which they retertsere verdict of
" Accidentally burn"

CORK ELECTION, DEc.l6.

possible to give facility to .the proceedings, has been
adopted. Counsellor Robert Bennett has been ap-
pointed, by the consent of both parties, Asseisbr to the
Sheriffs, who are indefatigable in their endeavours to
give satisfaction ; and we have no doubt when the con-
test shall have terminated, they will experience the ap-
probation of their fellow citizens. Mr. Callaghan has
steceived a letter from the Right Hon. W. Saurin, et•
pressing his regret that the season of the year and the

the support which •he thinks him entitled to, from the

Saturday, Wm. Walker, a seafaring man, was rernandtd, charged
with various acts of swindling.
_ _

Henry Jacobs, corn chandler, Broadway, Westminster, stated,
that the prisoner had come to the house of a Mr. Hall, about three
or four months ago, when be was present, and hired his horse zed
cart for some job ; he endeavoured to borrow money of him, but'
finding it of no avail, he walked off with a sack.

Mr. Customise enquired if there Were any more charges aping
the prisoner ? when several others stepped forward, and stated, that
they had been served in a similar mannee; but in most instances be
contrived to borrow small sums of money, and he was never seen
afterwards. It appeared that the prisoner had made a great mis-
take, fur he had that morning gone into the shop of Mr. Jacobs, ion
purpose to engage his cart and horse, little suspecting that Jacobs
was present at his engagement with Mr. HiN.

Tie prisoner said distress had drove him to it.

only given by tickets from sup, tior Officers. The Na•
tional Museum is on- of the finest in Europe, containing
a must valuable collection of minerals and marbles.—
The Gallery of Paintings in the Prado, is a magnificent
building ; and the Gar dens of the Retiro are very fine,
with be•.util ul walks. The grand promenadeis the erado ;
the gravel walk is fine, with stone seats on each side, and
some ot the most magnificent fountains in Europe. About
ball-pa,t tour the Ladies begin to assemble, and a guard
of the Royal Cuirassiers is invariably stationed in front
of the Prado. A number of the Officers of this corps are
mere boys, being sons of Royalists and Employees.
Since the abolition of the Inquisition, the system of
Police has been so rigid as to alim:st perform the
functions of that establishment. The Constitutional
party ate all registered, and their servants are compel.
led to act as spies upon them. None are more in favour
of the Constitution than the females of this country.

" Our Minister is by no means popular, which may
be attributed to his reserve and his private mode of
living. Sir W. A'Covrt was very popular, his balls
and r,uts being more suitable to the taste of the people
than the retired habits of his successor. The Secretary
of the Embassy is, however, a favourite with all classes,
and with none more than his countrymen here. _

" In consequence of the superiority of the Saxon
wool, and the preference given to it by our manufac-
turers, the English have ceased this year to be competi-
tors for the Spanish Merinos, and knowing how little
confidence was to be placed in the existing state of
things in Spa u, they have also refused to make their
usual advances to the proprietors of Merino flocks.
The consequence is, the latter have lost enormously this
year, and ale begging the butchers to take them off their
hands for slaughtering at any price.
41 The annual cost of a Merino sheep is 22 seals, the
present nett proceeds of the fleece 14 seals, leaving a
loss of 8 teals per head per annum. The Monks indus-
triously give out that this is in consequence of the
general distress in England, and th it the English mer-
chants have now not enough to purchase their wools."

EDINBURGH, DEC. 28.

DESPERATE OUTRAGE sato ESCAPE FROM PRISON.
Wednesday night, about nine o'clock, six of the male
prisoners in one of the divisions of the tread wheels at
Bridewell, suddenly attacked the inner turnkey, when
removing them to their sleeping apartments, stopped
his mouth with a handkerchief, and the same instant
covered his head with a kind of hood which they had
previously prepared from a part of their bedding, and
having dragged him to one of the sleeping cells, tied his
hands and feet, and while some of them lay above him, 1
to prevent his giving alarm,the rest possessed themselves
of his keys, and proceeded to unlock the cells,where some
of the most daring of their companions were confined.
All this was done in perfect silence; and having by
means of one of the keys taken from the turnkey, pro-
cured a hatchet, used for cutting oakum, from the place
where it had been, as usual, secured for the night, they
locked the turnkey in the cell, and proceeded to force
the outer iron gate of their ward, through which, by
the prudent precaution of its having a differently con-
structed lock, they could not make their way with any
of the keys belonging to the inner turnkey. This gate
not being of sufficient strength to resist the attack,
speedily gave way, and although the outer turnkey, at
great personal risk to himself, resisted their attempt as
long as he could with any prospect of success, they very
shot tly succeeded in gaining the open ground surround.
ing the building. The alarm having by this time reached
the Governor and other officers of the prison, who were
all within the walls, they, aided by the prompt assist-
ance of Governor Rose, of the gaol, and a party of police
officers from the Cal ton watch house, succeeded, notwith-
standing the darkness of the night, in securing five of
the fugitives, but the remainder, nine in number, owing
to the very low and insecure state of part of the boun-
dary wall, unfortunately effected their escape. It is
sad:factory to know that all the officers of Bridewell
were at their posts, and that so far as the investigation
now in progress has yet gone, every door of the prison
appears to have been duly locked and secured, agreeably
to general orders. The police are on the alert, and con-
fiJent hopes are entertained that the remainder of the
culprits will be speedily retaken.

to the Portuguese Royalists? It is possible that our
enemies may attack us, that our allies may abandon
us; that they may take from us some portion of our
territory ; but that which they cannot take away is
the justice of our cause, and the pride of our charAc•
ter. United in inclination and opinion with its Sove-
reign, the Spanish nati,n, always remembering the
war of independence, will remain faithful to its relsious
principles, and to its national glory. There is much
talk here of an energetic declaration addressed by our

him by France in delivering him from the Corms, in-

(sr AN ZITRAOZDINARY CHANNIM)
" The action at Athens, on the 18th Oct. last, in which
the celebrated Goura, Governor of the place was killed
by a bomb, admits of no doubt. The attack began on
the part of the Turks, who attemptei to make them-
selves masters of the citadel, bnt having mtt with a
brave resistance, were obliged to retire. PI ofiting by this
advantage, the Governor made a sally from the citadel to
charge the enemy. Thence the action was renewed in
the city, and in this Goura was killed. Notwithstanding
this circumstance, the combat continued, and the Tut ks
being thiertrn.d by a Greek corps without the city,
were forced to withdraw to the distance of three leagues
beyond Athens, to secut e a position suitable for the de-
fence of the rest of their army.—lluncitio Botzaris, son

" The Gteek vessels which sailed (tom Spezzia to
follow piracy, contrary to the orders of their own Go-

MOSCOW, SErrtailla 11.

On the 10th of September, his Gracevthe Duke of
Devonshire, his Britannic Majesty's Ambassador Extra=
orditiary at the Coronation of the Emperor of Russia,
gave a splendid ball and entertainment to the Imperial
Family,- and the principal Nibility in Moscow. The
preparations for the fete were on a scale of magoificence
suited to the exalted character of the guests. The ex-
ten ior f his Grace's superb Hotel, which is situated on
an elevated pact of this city, was brilliantly i'luminated.
The Imperial Arms, tastefully executed, ornamented
the principal front, and the whole of the vast length of
the Vilely was one blaze of lighr, ornamented in va-
rious devices. Our Imperial Family arrived about
nine o'clock. The shouts of many thousands of spec-
tators announced their approach, and the bands o
music placed on the balconies and in the interior of the
mansion played select national airs on their arrival.
'Their Majesties were received by the distinguished host
at the principal entrance. Dancing immediately com-
menced, and continued with great spirit till a late hour.
Supper was then served : upwards of six hundred covers
mere laid at this sumptuous repast. A select number of
guests of the most elevated rank were invited to the Im-i
penal table. Their Imperial Majesties, the Grand Duke
Michael, with his charming consort, and Pt ince Charles
of Prussia, quitted this brilliant assembly at two o'clock.
The whole of the interior decorations were in the most-
chaste and elegant style. The walls of the principal
Hall, which are in imitation of white marble, were or-
namented with the initials of their Imperial Majesties,
and of his Majesty George IV. formed by ingenious
combinations of roses ; and in an adjoining saloon
(erected for the occasion) was placed a splendid portrait
of the Emperor Nicholas, in his coronation robes, painted
for his Grace.

BOW-STREET.

THE SEOTCHMAN AND THE Jew.—A tall Scotebman was brought
before Air. Aftesnut.t,, charged with having clothed himself with a
pair of breeks, belonging to Mr. Levi, a Jew, in liolywell-street,
Strand, and with attempting to carry them off, without paying for
them—The Jew, who was attended by a number of 'this tribe,"
stated that the prisoner came into his ►hop, in liolywell-street,
Strand, that morning, and said that he wanted a pair of breeches ;
but be could not afford to go beyond the price of 101. Witness sup.
plied him with a pair, and the Scotchman having stripped off his
tower ragged garment, supplied their place with the article sold by
the witness. The prisoner tied up his old trousers in a bundle, and
took a crown piece out of his pocket, saying," you owe me ss. Mr.
Levi, anti here is Ss. and that will settle the business," and left the
shop. Mr. Levi followed him, and brought him back andgave him
in charge of a constable.
Mr. Mtssnutt. asked the Scotchman to explain his very extra-
ordinary conduct ?
The prisoner said, in a very broad Scotch dialect, that about
twelve month. ago, when he arrived in London front Scotland,
wishing to appear respectable, he went to Holywell.street, and at
the shop of Air. Levi be saw a very fine sort of coat that just fitted
him, and he bargained for it, and left ss. deposit. When be called
for the garment, some time afterwards, the Jew said be bad sold it,
and refused to give him up the Ss. deposit because he bad not ap-
plied for it within the time agreed. lie was passing by Mr. Levi's
shop this morning with a dollar in his pocket, and seeing a pair of
breeks marked 10s. he thought he would just go into the shop and
settle the outstanding account, and so he did; and he told Mr.
Levi," that the ss. he had of his as a deposit, and the ss. he then
gave him, would just settle all differences."
Mr. MINSHULL said, that if- Mr. Levi actually had received a
deposit of five shillings, the prisoner had not gone In a fair and legal
way to recover it, and ordered the Scotchman to receive back his
dollar, and to return the trousers.

It ought to be stated, in justice to the Scotchman, that the Jew
did not deny having received the five shillings deposit.—Fnrde, the
gaoler, permitted the Scntchman to have the use of his dressing-
room in the prison-yard, to take off the Jew's garment. The
&otchman put on his old trousers, and went away, threatening to
summon the Jew to the Court of Requests for the ss.

" Dom, es placens usor."—Heft.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is
insured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual Friend-
ship," is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
which, siys Johnson, " we apprisach in some degree of association
with celestial intelligence."

Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless
instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the he-
buldee, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the fla-
t:A-al dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized
sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then,
we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength,
felicity ; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as
they are by the multiplied proofs of Sin years' successful experience.
The easy cases of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath
—tor the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation
of the generative economy, we pledge our, ability to cure speedily,
and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric
from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from
vaeral principles with less hesitation; and confident in our own
honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we
trier the suffering community of either Sex (especially those entering
iuto matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance
is given for personal consultation ; and letters from the country are
immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice
and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world,

WEYHILL FAIR.

WIDIMSDAT A rrzalloow.

The Sheep Fair commenced on Tuesday morning ;
The number of sheep penned was unusually large, ex-
ceeding 150,000! The business of the day began rather
heavily, and the fall of rain from day-break till eleven
o'clock, did not in the slightest degree tend to cheer the
gloom which seemed to pervade; but about that hour
it cleared up, and things took a brighter turn, as sales
were rapidly going on in all parts of the fair ; and we
think the following prices may be quoted as correct:
Down ewes, from 13s. to 20s. one or two prime lots
fetched as high as 28s. Down lambs, from 9s. to 12s. to
16s. up to 21s. two-tooth wethers from 15s. to 20s; to
245. four-tooth.ditto from 20s. to 325. Dorset ewes sold
rather higher than at Appleshaw fair—say from 18s. to
265. Somerset ewes from 28s. to 40s. .a few prime lots
as high as 445. Comparatively with the number of
sheep penned, a very small proportion remained unsold
at the close of the day.
The heavy rain preventing the horse-dealers from
she wing out the finest horses on Tuesday, we cannot
give so faithful an account as it is our wish ; but we are
assured that the stables round the hill are full of the
fine,t roadsters and hunters. The shew of cart colts was
good, and other heavy horses were also numerous : two-
year old cart colts were purchased, as is usually the
case, for the London brewers, &c.

The Cheese Fair cannot be correctly stated, as it is not nearly
all arrived. Considering the dryness ache summer, prices ate an-
ticipated to be moderate, and the supply plentiful.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Sarrntinl e.

. •

Mr. TIMMY, when the Lord Chancellor came Rite
Court, applied for an injunction to restrain a ship,
named the Madden, from sailing to Buenos Ayres, now
blockaded by the Emperor of Brazil. The application
was made ugon a bill sled by part of the owners of the
ship against other owners and the captain.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR asked why the parties had not appllea to
the Court of Admiralty for security in case the 'maxi sailed?
Mr. TINNEY said, that course of proceeding would
not benefit his client. It appeared to be the intention
of the persons conducting the ship to sail to Buenos
Ayre.i, and that they had actually taken on hoard teri
guns to enable them to force the blockade. In conse-
quence of this arrangement his clients could not get the
underwriters to insure.

The LORD CHANCILLOiII asked-how isorthe Intention:of the par-
ties had been known.

Mr. Town said. since the 18th of Ragan.
His LORDSHIP was unwilling to grant the injunction.
It had been usual, in such cates, to apply to the CoUtt
of Admiralty, but he would take the papers, he laid,
and look at all the facts. At the same time, he could
not help remarking, that the Noble and Learned Judge
of the Admiralty was in town, and he did not' tee why
that Learned Judge could not dispose of the ease as
well as his elder brother.

MANNING V. ROOD.
His LORDSHIP disposed of this case in judgment.
There were four points in it. which related to West In-
dia estates. The first question was, whether an agiee.
ment entered into between the parties was an agreement
under which the individuals to take, were immediately
to enter into possession, upon having a good title made,
or if a good title could not be made, upon having what
was called a guarantee made to them ? The Court
thought they were entitled to have a good title made
to them, with the usual warrants of indemnity in the
conveyance. The neat point was, whether they had
not already got such a 'conveyance ? His Lordship's
opinion was in accordance with that of the late Mager
of the Rolls (from whose decision the case came before
the Lord Chancellor upon an appeal), that the evider.ce
to prove the fact was not sufficient. The third point was,
whether there had not been such dealing with the estate,
the purchase of which was in dispute, as •to have
amounted to an acceptance of the title ? His Lordship
did not think there had. The last was, whether a grant
made by the Crown was valid, as against persons in-
terested ? Upon the ground that that grant had been
made on a misrepresentation, his Lordship's opinion
was against it. The result therefore was, an order,
directing a reference to the Master, to see whether a
good title had been made; and if it had not, whether
it could be made.

TRADE AND MANUFACTURES.

. -•~-

MANCHESTER Goons MARKET, Sm. S.
Although there has been during the autumn a de-
mand considerably greater than there was during the
summer months, there has not been such a degree of
confidence in the steadiness of the demand as to en-
courage manufacturing to any thing like the usual es
tent. Some manufacturers, tempted by the low rate of
wages, had begun, indeed, to give out work with greater
freedom ; but still there was no immediate prospect of
such an improvement as would either give employment
to all the work people, or add any thing to their mise-
rably small earnings. The admission of foreign grain
has, however, given a more favourable aspect to the
state of trade, and although I cannot learn that any
more goods have been in consequence sold to-day, I
know several instances in which manufacturers who
were wavering as to what they should do—whether they
should make, so as to to accumulate a stock at the pre-
sent low rate of wages—have determined to go on, and
rather to add than to diminish the number of their hands.

—The spinners to-slay have tried to obtain an advancc
on yarns, but have not succeeded, nor a,e they likely to
succeed while so much power lies dormant. All the
factories must be at wot k, and all the weavers must he
employed, before prices can advance; and though this
is likely, and, indeed, certain to be accelerated by the
modification of the Corn Laws, there is a dreary wi ter
to be encountered, before the improvement can effica-
ciously reach the mass of the people.
