The Duke of NORTOLK bas lately been visiting

Dean and Chapter of Carlisle.
The Mug and Queen of Prussia arc expected

On Tuesday, the Duke of SUSSEX paid a visit
his son at Winchester College, and dined with
r. GOODARD. His Royal Highness afterwards
owed the Cathedral and College, and next morn.
g left that city for London.
Besides the bullion brought by the Confiance,
e Recruit and Wolverine have arrived at Ports-

Sunday evening, as Mr. Shate, of Clipstone.
rect, was returning from a visit to a friend, at
.eacunsield, accompanied by Mrs. Shate, and two
hildren, in a doable seated one.Sorse chaise, the
orse broke from his harness, and the chaise was
p.ct. Mrs. S. anti one of the children, who was
iding with her in the back seat, were removed to

umped out, in doing which the other child broke
iis leg of his suck, but Mr. S. escaped unhurt.

Plemare is all the reigning theme,

" The best preservative to keep the mind in I
iealth, says Lord Bacon (and in many instances
he BODY t 00), is the faithful admonition of a
-lend." Unfortunately, the dislike of having
mot merely our vices, but even our foibles, follies,
toil faults exposed, deters thousands from:asking
'or or tweividg what the Philosopher recom-
•nends ; and thus YOUTH in particular rush head-
long into the vortex of dissipation and death !
To obviate consequences so destructive to the

species, and eventually to population, has fallen to
the lot of Dr. Selotnon, by making public his

One object of such a
is ►old out to public execration those individuals
who, whilst they violate no express law of the
tend, and arc therefore prubably not liable to a
prosecution in a Court of Justice, violate with
impunity every principle of religious and moral
feeling. As there may be persons, however, who
consider such an Association not called for by ex-
isting circumstances, shall (intreating the excuse
of your Readers for the disgust and horror which
such narrations naturally excite) relate two in-
stances of wanton cruelty, which have ocorred
in the short interval of
.a fortnight ; and when it
is considered that the discovery of these was mere-
ly accidental, it is dreadful to reflect how eon.
moldy such barbarities may prevail.
A Gentleman in this toms, who is ready to at-
test the fact upon oath, relates that one of his
fowls, whilst he was absent at chaseh, dew into
Otis neighbour's garden, and consequently tommit_

animal vies seized, and literally [darkest olive, and

and whish is releted by an
eye witness, is of a publican in this tows, who
hiring caught a mouse in an iron trap, placed the
animal thus inclosed close to the bars of Me grate,
with the horrid design of destroying it by pro-
longed tortuse. One or the spectators insisted

placed upon a table, where it soon perished in

it is pitiful to dwell upon each subjects, or to

so frequently committed upon poor useful domes.
ticated animals, by those to whose care they are
unfortunately committed I shall, therefore, con-
clude with the pleasing hope, that the humane and
land active interference of the Society I have al-
' laded to, will soon effect some salutary change in
these respects.
From the readiness the Magistrates ia this
' town have always evinced in punishing carters
and others convicted of notorious outrages against
humanity, there is little doubt but they would at.
tend to the representations of a respectable Society,
associated • for the honourable and disinterested
purpose of investigating and exposing such mal-
practices as those above described.
INDIGNANS.

Early on Saturday morning last some persons
covered the stre.:t-door and places near it of Mr.
IVright's, Notary Public, in Duke-street, Nl:ln-
ehester.square, with pitch and tar, and tried to •et
Ire to his house; the lower part of the street.
-door is burnt. This offence Is called in law arson,
and subjects the offender to death.
• Upon the frequent ebanges in the army daring
this lou.; war, it was resolved to print an army
list monthly, instead of yearly: the same idea has
been started with respect to the Court .Calendar,
from the removals and additions which have been,
and are especial to be wade in the ministeral de.
partment.
On Tuesday last, as corporal Thomas Nunn,
anti two privates of the West Suffolk Militia, were
escorting Wm. Matcherson, who had surrendered
himself as a deserter from the 2d Dragoons, or
Scotch Greys, unhand-cuffed, he attempted to
escape in the following manner t—Near Kowick,
the deserter suddenly seized the piece of the man
in front, and immediately turning round, striking
the corporal on the breast, drove him back a few
paces, in order that he might have room to act
with the seized firelock, which was ready loaded.
The corporal finding himself in such a situation,
dropped down upon one knee ; and firing low,
with intent to disable him from running away,
wounded him in the knee : at the same instant;
the deserter fired at the corporal, and wounded him
in th• upper part of the right thigh so desperately,
that he has since undergone amputation ; but• he
is in a fair way of recovery.
Flea DAIM—Mr. John Jones, of Gray's Inn,
is said to have discovered a simple method ,of pre-
venting what Colliers term the Damp, by slaking
a few lumps of fresh lime in the level, or subter.
raucous passage, made by the miners in digging
out the coals. The carbonic acid gas produced by
throwing the lime into a little water corrects the
air, and renders it more favonsable to inhalation.
The experiment has been repeatedly 'tried with
success.
Yesterday week, an inquest was held before R.
Latus, Esq. Coroner, at Bottom Gate, near
Blackburn, in Lancashire, on the body r►f John
Walsh, labourer, whose death was occasioned by
a fall, being intoxicated. The Jury, after a di
I!-

conceded. It appeared that the deceased bec:tne
deranged, after drinking a little, and being in that
state at a public-house, about two hundred yards
from his dwelling, on Saturday sennight, in the
evening, agreed to be carried home in a rack ; ac-
cordingly one was procured for that purpose, and
the deceased, assisted by two men, got into it ; as
lie-stood about six feet high, the sack, only came
up to his breast,' at the end of which a rope was
tied and thrown over a hook at the top of the kit-
chen, the place they were then In ; when the de..
ceased began to jump about, the hook. being sten-
der, broke, and he fell with violence to the none,
in which fail he received a fatal bruise on the• heat,
which caused blood to gush. out of his nose and
both ears. HeJingered, without speaking, until.
Sunday forenoon, and then expired.
On Wednesday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock,
the Rev. W. Moseley, of Hanky, Staffordshire,
was shut at, while standing by the window of the
parlour, •n the east side of his house; providen-
tially ho was not hem—This-is not, We under.
