RAVAGES OF THE Y ELLOIVF EVERim SPAIN.
• •
'the late hour which we yesterday received the Poda
...papers prevented us from stating, except in gene Val
terms, the melancholy intelligence they contained re-
specting the spread of the yellow-fever in Spain. The•
following are some of the particulars :•—•
PA Rfb, SEPT. 30.—A letter from Perpignan,lated

empty ; all those who were confined there have died ;
• that of Barcelonettais menaced with the same rtsiklts:
. A letter from Mount Loui.:, dated the 19th instant,
- announces that all Catalonia is in desolation, and that
the streets of Barcelona are deserted, as the unhappy
inhabitants have withdrawn to the mountains, front
whetme they are repulsed by the peasantry, and die of
Limiee and misery. .This letter confirms the previous
hecounts, that upward.: of 61000 passports wire de-
livered before the establishment of the cordon of health.
—lt was concealed from the inhabitants that this cor-
duo would be funned at a very little distance from the
town. As soon, however, as it was known to them,
they committed sad excesses. The Civil Authorities
had qnitted the town.
A letter from Bayonne. dated the 2.2;1, says
4' Mriers have reached.our antbolities respecting the
progrens of the infeetiOn in Catalonia, which has de-
termined them to adopt more rigorous precautions on
the frontier of Navarre and Ciuipurscoa. The custom's
posts have been reinforced by three companies of
troop:, of the line, which now Eisen a strong cordon.
—Tile lit st detachment will be stationed at Ilendaye,
hiriatoro ; the Pas.de-Behobia, and 011ietta ; the se-
tend .it Sart' and St. Pee ; the third at Ainhod and

The l'as-de-Itehnhia is the only point by which
communication with Framee will be permitted.
" These measures an•, at present, merely precau-
tionary, because hut little communication exists be-
tween Catalonia and our neighbouring provinces. Even
should contagious symptoms appear amongst us. the
vigilance of the audio' itics and the fidelity of the troops
would inspire us with security."

MARKETS.

Comm EICNAPIOR, Jax.:•!.—Our Market was largely sup-
plied with all grain this morning, particularly with Wheat
from Essex, the major part of which being of inferior qua-
lity, caused a ready sale for prime samples, on full as good
terms as oa this day week, but the trade was exceedingly
heavy for all other descriptiora.—Barley is AIR Is. per
quarter cheaper. in consequence of the abundant supply
front Sofrolk, at that decline, only the finest qualities could
be disposed of, although the ordinary samples were offered
at an abatement of Vs. pe► quarter. Beans and Grey Ppai
are Its. per quarter lower; the qi:antity at Market being-
very large.—Outs are Is. per quarter cheaper, and sales
were very• slack at that reduction.

FROII THE NEW YORE PAPER OP TER 27TH DEC.

The United States ship Cayne, arrived at this i.ort,
after a cruise on the western coat of Africa, last from
Cape Sierra Leone,and the island of Sherbro. At the time
the Csyne sailed, the free black colonists who had sur-
vived the sickness were all well at Yeoni, a town about
thirty mile, from the coast. Governor AliCarthy had
sailed for England by way of the river Gambia. Major
Grant had been appointed Governor in his stead, and
hail very politely offered every assistance to the Ame-
rican colonists.

The persons who went out in the ship Elizabeth, as
settlers, were in a state of great confusion, owing, 'tis
said, to ieveral haring refused to work, and their pro-
visions being nearly all gone. No land had yet been
granted to the emigrants, and it was uncertain whether
they would obtain any.
CONSTITUTION or MISSOURI, BOSTON PAM, Dsc.
21.—The House having resumed the consideration of
the resolutions of admitting Missouri into the Union,
speeches of considerable length were delivered in op-
position. The resolution for the admission of the State
of Missouri into the Union was rejected. The above
was in Senate on the 13th of December.

The demonstrations of the present day have shown
that„ notwithstanding the relaxation of an interval of
five or six weeks, the tone of popular feeling and at
tachment respecting the QuaiN,continues as lively as-
ever. At an early hour in the morning the Brass-
workers, with their Max in ARMOUR, their banners
and gap, and a vast variety of decorations, assembled
In Lincoln's-inn-fields, sad formed a body so numerous
that though four or six a-breast, they entirely occu-
-1 pied the west side of that vast quadrangle, Before
10 o'clock they proceeded thence, with their bands
of music, along Qeeen-street and Long-Acre, towards
Brandenburgh House. About balf.past ■hie, the In-

FORGERY ON THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.

MaaarreA Isaac Goatldstost ryas this day again put to
the bar. _ _ _

Mr. PLATT said he bad to offer some farther argu-
ments to those adduced yestetday, in support of his ap-
plication for setting aside the present indictment, which
was framed under an Act of Parliament, which made it
felony for any person to forge, or cause to be falsely
made or forged, any document or note of a foreign
Prince. Is the present instance the iadiuttnent contain-
ed a copy of the instrument in the German language,
but no translation of it in the English language, which
he contended was a fatal objection under the statute of
Charles 11., which required that the indictment should
be drawn up in the English language. In fact it might
as well have been drawn up in the Chinese language as
the German, and no one could contend that the note was
a protnissory one, or an order for payment, as there was
no promise in the whole of the document to pity. He
noticed the difference between an indictment for libel
in a foreign language, and an indictment fur a contract,
as in the former case it was specific, and might be trans-
lated word by word, so as to show its intent and mean-
ing. After citing various cases in support of his argu-
ment, he Concluded by moving an arrest of judgment..
Mr. ROLLAND was about to reply, but
Mr. Justice RICHARDSON postponed the hearing Coun-
sel on the present occasion, as none of the Learned
Judges were present.

ously marrying Susan Anderson, on the Sth of Sep-;

METEOROLOGY.

The present inahth has been a striking cohtrast to the
last ; and instead of indicating in its progress the ap-
proach of spring, appears to have gradually retrograded
towards the cold of winter. The temperature of the pre-
ceding week has been lowest of the month, and the equi-
noctial gales which commenced with it were accompa-
nied with hail and snow pretty generally northwards on
Wednesday and Thursday. A similar storm was also
partially felt in Hampshire and Norfolk. The hail-
stones in some parts were extremely large, and much
damage has been done to the hot and green houses.
Sonic hundred squares of glass have been broken at
Finchley, Harrow, &c. and in wily other parts iu the
vicinity of London.

There has been cousiderahle fluctuation in the
Funds this morning, in consquence of the news of the
revolt of the Piedmontese. (7onsols, which were at
the close of the market, on Saturday, 711 for the
Account, had been this morning 70, and 70 fur
Money. At the opening of the market, no price what-
ever could he obtained, the agitation heing so great;
however, after the panic somewhat subsided, the market
recovered a little : the price being now about 70i fur
the Account. Heavy sales Lave been effected, and it
is suspected that the late speculators fur a rise have
found means to clear their accounts privately, at a
much higher price.

It is confidently !wed, that Lima was taken by
General St. Martin on the 25111 I►rcember.

ILLEGAL NORSR RACING.
LANCASTER ASSIZES.
!COI V. VELLUM

Mr. PACs stated this to be an action for 11100 very
of 2001. the penalty incurred by law for entering and
running a horse for a less sum than 30/. at a place
called Bagslatreommen, near Rochdale, where, for
some time past, horse races of this description bad been
carried on, much to the annoyance of the neighbour-
hood. Notice had been given to the parties comma
in them, that the Act of Parliament upon this sub-
ject would be strictly enforced. The statute of the
13th Deo. 11. imposed a penalty of 2001. en persons
engaged in these unlawful diversions. The Act recited
that horse races for small plates tended to the encou-
ragement of idleness, and were calculated to discos-
the breed of strong, active, and vigorous hones;
it therefore indicted the penalty upon persons entering
or running any horse, mare, or gelding, for a less stake
than a plate of 301.: and a subsequent clause enabled
a assimmon informer to sue for the penalty. la conse-
quence of the continuance of this great nuisance, it
was determined to put the Act in execution. It %%mild
be proved, that in June last the defendant, who was a
very active person on these occasions, made a match
with one Howard to run a horse, belonging to a person
sawed Leach, for 51. The race was run, and the de-
fendant won, and received the stakes. It happened
that this was the first transaction of the sort that
could be brought home to the parties by direct evi-
dence. He should satisfy the Jury, out of the defend-
ant's own mouth. that the amount of the stakes was
only double the 51.
Timothy Leach, of Witworth, said he knew &p-
-late Common, in the parish of Rochdale. He was at
the Bagslate races last year. Knew the cefendant
Pilling; he had a hone called Jerry. An application
was made to him (the witness) by James Diggle for his
mare. He permitted his mare to start against Jerry,
on account of Mr. Howard, who made the match with
defendant. This mare run, but Jerry won. Pilling
was at the race ; they had some debate ; they could
not agree about the weight; but at last they did agree ;
the money was put down on both sides—five poustisesels.
Cress-examined by the Learned Judge.—He did not
know whether the horse Jerry was a gelding; he was
not certain, be rather thought he was, but was not ter-
lain. He had not sufficient acquaintance with the
horse to know whether be was a gelding or a stallion.

Mr. Justice HOLROTD—Mr. fork, you must. prove
that fact; you must prove whether he was a gelding
or not.
Mr. Pxau—l cannot do it by this witness ; and I
have no other.
Mr. Justice HoLnovn--Then you mast be nonsuited.
You come for a penalty, and you might to be armed at
all points. Plaintiff nun:puked.
This cause was undefended, and the unexpected re-
suit was the subject of a good deal of mirth in Court,
at the expense of the disappointed informer.

OLD BIILIIY,—(Tria MOAXINI.:

-
John Chapman, Aged 17, was capitally indicted for
assaulting Bledsoe Wade on the King's Highway, suit
taking from her person a pocket book containing two
gold rings and 131. in Bank Notes.
Mrs. Wade is the wife of a respectable tradesman, and
on theitOth November on returning home from the honse
of a friend, she observed a house on tire vvy near her
own. She bad occasion to pus. he tire, and in so doing
she was surrounded by a gang of ruffians among
whom was the prisoner. He held her by the pelisse,
whilst the other pulled up her clothes and robbed her
of the property mentioned in the 'indictment. Prose-
cutrix made her loss known, and in about half an hour
she was informed that many suspicious characters had
been apprehended, and were then in custody at the
watch-house. Prosecutrix went there, and singled out
t risoner from eight or nine others. He had been
tak r the fire, but nothing had been found upon his
permit
The prisoner in his defence alledged that he was absent
from the place at the time mentioned. He called three
girls to prove an alibi, all of whom swore that at
the time when Mts. Wade was robbed, the prisoner was
at a dance and raffle. at Lambeth-street. These witnesses
were examined, and differed in the minute parts of their
testimony.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Goilty.
William Cordell was indicted for stealing a gelding,
value 71., the property of James Baldwin.
The animal was taken from the pasture in which th.s
prisoner had been directed to place it on the night of
the 13th November; and the prisoner, at an early holt
the following mornin, was stopped with it in his
sion on the Wisitechagpel-road, by the patrole, whose
suspicions were excited by the appearanms of Vie
prisoner. The prisoner did not give satisfactory an-
swers to the questions put to him, and was in conse-
quence stopped.
The father of the prisoner stated, his son had been
subject to fits for the last five years, in consequence of a
kick of a horse, and that he was frequently in a state of
mental derangement.
The Jut), retired for a short time, and on their return
pronounced the prisoner frailty.

Dent.tx, Drc. s.—Yrsterday the Committee ap-
pointed to wait on the Lord Mayor with the requisi,
Von for isa Aggregate Meeting, met at St. Maryi
♦'estry Room. and proceeded to the Mansion House at
twelve o'clock, according to the appointment of his
Lirdship. The Deputation was composed of Gentle-
mee of respectability from. the different parishes, and
. was received by the Lord Mayor with politeness and at-
tention.
Mr. Herrick', the Secretary to the Parochial Deft.,
ties, read the Requisition, requesting his Lordship
" to call an Aggregate Meeting of the Houseolders of
Dublin, to prepare and present Petitions to Parlia-
ment for the total repeal of the Tax on Window Light."
It was, be said, signed by great DSO sof the
ift
respectable Householders of the differen arishes, and
he hadansuch pleasure in having the ho our td present

it to his Lordship.
The Lord Mayor said, that it gave him great satis-
faction at all times to forward the wishes of his fellow
•eitisens in any thing that might relieve or advance
them ; and, feeling as be did, the necessity of some
relief from the heavy burden of the Window Tali, he
was most happy to receive a Deputation so highly re-
spectable ; they had only to mime a day themselves,
when he would cheerfully call the General Meeting re-
After some discussion, Thursday week was named,
and approved of by his Lordship, on which day the
Argregate Meeting will take place at time Royal Ex-
change.
The Deputation then expressed their thanks for the
manner in which they had been received, and respect-
fully took their leave.

BOXING.

-
Notwithstanding the attraction at the Tennis Court
yesterday, the amateurs mustered strong on the Essex
Marshes, four miles from Rumford, to see the sporting
fight between Gidgeon, the scientific Jew, and Valen-
tine, the Bristol tnan. famed for putting hie adversary
to donee with his right hand. The seconds were Tort
Owen and Josh Hudson fur widgeon, and Scroggins
and the Komford baker for Valentine. The battle
lasted one hour and 50 minutes, in which time 79
rounds were fought.
In the first round, after an exchange of hits, Valen-
tine fell, from the slipperiness of the ground, and the
Jew was backed at 6 to 4, being the heaviest man and
the best fighter.
The second was a merry fighting round in favour of
Gidgeon, who placed his hits very scientifically, and
floored his adversary.
The four following rounds got the odds up to more
than 2 to 1 onV the Jew

penis& a hit. and gave his ad-
versary a rattling facer with the right band, and it was
a good fighting round, but Valentine was down.
Until the 13th round the Jew kept the lead, and
knobbed away with the left hand, and brought his ad-
versary's head down to right handed punishment. In
this round the Jew received a smashing hit on the tem-
ple, which produced the cleanest knock down blow in the
fight, and eseheptered the Jew's bead. This brought
the betting to nearly even.
(lidgeon recovered the effects of the blow in the 16th
round, and gave his adversary a receipt for his hit by
flooring him, and he kept the lead after, occasionally re-
ceiving round hits upon the left ear, which left the
marks. Valentine bad no alternative but the roley-poley
system, and which, favoured by the swampy ground, lie
worked well ; but the Umpires at length declared he
had fallen without a blow, and the Jew wathe
winner.

SPARRING.
Hickman bad a benefit yesterday, at the Royal Tennis
Court, Great Windmill-street, preparatory to his battle
with Neate, on Tuesday next, and such was the anxiety
to see this great striking character, that the Court was
crammed to a stand-still. Every precaution was taken
to guard against depredations, as there were plenty
of Police Officers and Constables mixed among the con-
veyancers, for the protection of dummies and yacka.
The sets-to were chiefly among mediocrity professors,
and the only ones which excited interest were the tut-
lowing :
Crawley and Ab. Belasco.—This was a fine specimen
of ski 11, and notwithstanding the disparagement in length
and weight, Belasco proved himself a master of arts in
keeping pace with his opponent.
Hickman and Shelton closed the performances in a
masterly set-to, in which Gas bad best. Practice has
made him hit out with the left hand, and he placed several
blows against his opponent's will. His right was ready,
as usual, and Shelton felt it. The performances gave

SIR-I take the earliest opportunity of writing to
request you to correct a mistake which occurred in
your Report of the Meeting at Lewes, on Monday
last, and which it is of consequence should be itnme-
diately rectified. lam reported to have stated, that I
tad received information from a gentleman, that it
ass the intention of Government to abrogate the pre-
`sent Corn Laws, and impose a duty instead, and that
t..is information came from Mr. Webb Hall, who had
from 3ir. Huskisson ; and also that I reed part of
alr. Hall's letter. How this misrepresentation of
what took place happened I know nut, but the troth
I read no part of any letter, nor did I state any
thing more than " that I had no doubt the present
Corn Laws would be altered, particularly as the Re-
tort of the Select Committee, drawn np by Mr. Hits-
JOsson. described them as • tending to aggravate the
evil of scarcity, and to render more severe the depres-
sion of prices from abundance e and that I had reason
to believe, from information lately received, that Mr.

THE WITS RED BOOK-FOR 1322.
.-......-

To inch of one readers as are not ton fastidious to
derive amusement from a jest book, we think we may
Feature to recommend a little volume entitled " The
Wits' Red Book," as combining some originality with
some pleasantry. This collection is not confined to
anecdotes, but contains a number of epigrams, and
pi•ccs in verse, besides several in prose that do not
come under the denomination of epigram. Some of
these are distinguished by a playful vein of humour
and of satire. There is, too, some degree of sweetness
and drollery in the tales in verse, such us s"rhe
Modern Prometheus, or Frankenstein the Second,'
' The Spirit of Contradiction,' Notoriety,' &c. The
Pr.yface, too, is not one of the least entertaining parts
of the book. Dr. Rosso (which name, by the bye, we
sltretdly conjecture to be assumed, merely for its al-
lusion to the title of the book and its sanguine-
tincted' livery) it here very facetious upon himself
and his relations, whom he describes at some length.
But we will close our ieniarks and quote two or three
of the pieces as specimens of the work.

COMPANION' .
In pairing pictures it is geuerelly the rule to produce
contrasts; thus, a painting representing a storm, if it
has a partner at all, is sure to Imre a calm ; a morning
is as invariably allied to an evenin!, scene, and so on.
Thais sort of antithetical companionship seems to be the
principle on w:sich many hymenial allianres are formed.
inether an erroneous one or not, cannot now be consi-
d.r4:4, but it no doubt tends greatly to diversify the
monotony of life, and to produce that connubial E./liar-
°Nees?, so flattering to the eye of taste. Such contrasts
may he oily like discords in music, subservient to ge-
neral haruiony.

WASIIINCTON. JLLY 24.—The following extracts
of letters from friends in Florida to the Editors, shew
that the American antiamitiee received possession of
St. Augustine en tl.e 10th inst. in the most amicable
manner, and that fortress is now garrisoned by the
troops of the United States. It appears. however,
that the necessary preparations for the embarkation
of the Spanish troops from Pensacola were not ex-
pected to be made before the 20th of this month.—
So that the article purporting to be a post-dated procla-
mation of lien. Jackson, the publication of which we
have already noised has been, we are persuaded, with-
out intention, deceptive and delusive,and must have a
' mischievous effect. It is quite probable that the pro-
clamation has not even yet been put forth.
