The DAendant pleaded not guilty,and Mr. Attn.,

about to make some further observations, when
Mr. GURNEY, for the Defendant, interpos4 and
Mr. ALLEY said l e did not mean to cast any imputa-
tation whatever on Mr. Cowie, and the Jury im.
mediately arquilted him.
The espectation of seeing Mrs. Clarke in Court
had collected a considerable auditory. Mrs. Clarke
however did not make her appearance.

An uncommon occurrence took place at Dilmar-
nock on the Bth inst. Notwithstanding the mildneq
of the day,.a whirlwind suddenly lifted from the the
works about 20 webs, which had been spre-ci out to
dry, and, after-having carried them to such a i.ciglit
as to render some of them scarcely visible, :ot dint
falf upon the holm at the distance of a quarter of a
mile from the works. _

A few days ago, while two masons were work
in a quairy on • Bartibachle-hill, in the parish of
Lochru( tots, they found a live toad, eight feet b 3.01
the surface, in a solid whinstone rock.
A very singular occurrence teak place on the 31
instant, near the Infirmary of Hull. A drummie
boy, belogging to the Carlow regiment of militia, on
some occasion or other, not yet discovered, took
the trouble to thrust I,:s.kead betwixt two of the iron
hers of the pallisade, anti wishing to withdraw, it
(whether the bars from attraction to his neck had ar-
proximatcd, or whether his bead had grown larger
in consequence of his spprotimition to the buntline,
this deponent knoweth not), found himself fixed to
the spot ; bat not liking confinement ie the open air,
he sent forth so tremendous a yell, as to bring to his
aid the whale of. the infirmary corps of operators,
and a can iderabla blidy of the populace. Every
practicable means of extrication were speedily dig.
cussed, one gentleman, supposing his head to be the
! thickest part of his body, thought he might be deli-
' vered in the usual way, and hegan to pull with all his
might. It is hardly necessary to say the acceuelteur
was obliged to relinquish his scheme. It was thee
! suggested by another of the profession, that, Ps a
forward movement was impracticable, there was
! nothing for it but one retrogade, which could only
be effected by cutting off his ears. Due consid-1,1-
; tion having shown that the little to be gained by this
process, would not ensure success, there seemed to
the astonished multitude uo alternative betwixt lettiez
the lad be gibbetted alive or cutting off his head, and
one young workman actually proposed this grand
expedient. A blacksmith however coming up, light
instantly flashed into every eye, and With a
or two of his great maul,• the bar was brtleen
the captive set free. The drum-major cemirg vp just
as the lad had obtained his liberty, with an oath, es-
claimed, " and by Jesus, if I find you there
I'll give you a good flogging." To which ha ie.
coked the fol lowing significant reply—and'` by Jaea
if you do, I'll give you lave!"
At a time when we are threatened with havi.:
Bank-notes made a legal tender. it is highly curiPoi
to observe, that a great commercial Republic, placed
by protracted warfare in circumstances similar to
our own, extricated itself from its difficulties by met
sures the very reverse of those suggested by Minis
ters. For the truth of thisestatement, we refer
