Yesterflav, at two o'clock, another Cabinet Council 'was held at the Foreign-office, wvhich wras attendetl by the Lord Chancellor, the '3arl of Hairuowby, the Dluke or welling- ton, the Earl of Westmorland, Mr. Canning, Ailr. l'eel Earl Bathurst, the Clhancellor of the Exchequier, Viscount Mlelville, andI MrAVyini. The Couniel sat in deliberation till about a quarter past five o'clock. 'lihe Dluke of York hIas been extreinely fortunate in all his shootin,g Dartics this season ; in fact, his Royal High- ness has beeni what is called the best shot of the conmpany, particularly last Saturday, at the seat of the E irl of Vernu- lamu, in Hertfordtshire, when his Royal Hioh1iess killedl 98 pheasants, besides other game. The Royal Duske continiued the pursuit of his sport ti!l dark, as is his Royal HigIness's custom, and afterwards dIined witlh the Eail and Countess, ston,eI to an evening lparty, and left for London between one and two o'clock, -anidl arrived in town on Sunday inorn- ing about rour o'clock. His Royal fligliness went to at- tend Divine service at twelve o'clock: at the Chapel Royal. -Conrt Circu/lar.

Yesterday the Chancellor of ihe Exchequer gave a granid dinner-party to the French and Russian Amnbassadors, andI a number of other distinguished characters. TVHE CASE oP C. A. D r:iPSTER, WRO S;VAt.OWED A CAsE-rzrE.-This unfortinate man died at Aliddlewich, on Fri- daythe l4th'inst. The public wivi recollect thatin attempting some juggling tricks at Carlisle, he swallowed a table-kniferrather more than nine inches long, which remained in his stomach ivithout ex- ciuDr any acute pain or prodicing any serious conisequences, uitil withiU a few days of his death. IlIe left Carlisle with the intenition of proceeding to London, where his mother resides, for the purpose of consulting Sir Astley Cooper. During the jourmey to Mllanches. tcr he suffered much pain from the jolting of the coach; wvhen, find. ing himself unable to bear thc motion of the cai-riage, he embarked in a canal-boat; but being taken vcry ill in the boat, he was prevented pursuing his jouney tirther than Mliddlewrich. This case having excited coDsiderable interest in the public mind, as also in that of the profession, it may be proper to observe, that tile body was opened the da'y atter his death, and the knife found in the stom,ach, which, with the other of the viscera, was in a satte of inflammation and gan- grene. The handle of the knife, which was of bone, was dissolved,as likewvise a considerable portion of the blade. So powe, fully, indeed. had the knife been acted upon br the juices of the stomnach, as to impress Terv forcibly on the nminds of the medical men who openedl the body, a belief that had the man continued at Carlicle, and been kept in a qtiiet state, the whole of the knife might have been die. solved, and the case terminated favourablv. The knife will be for- warded to Sir Asldey Cooper, together wvith a more mrinute account,' vhich will probably appear in some periodical work. The public prints having stated that Sir Assley Cooper had recommended an operation for extracting the knife, we deem it but justice to the above.mentainetl gentleman to state, that they saw the man onlv about three hours prior to his death, Trhen inflammation and morti- fication had already commenced..Chester Couiraat. PROSPERITY OF Tl?E IRO-N TRADF.-At a quarterly meeting of the Iron Alasters of 4orkshire and Derbyshire, held on Wednesday last, (the 21st instri at the Tontine Inn', in this town, we are happy to learn ti,at that important branch of trade fully keeps pace with the increasing prosperity of the country. The-ge- neral orders for metal are represesentrd to be equal to somie of tiose brisk Feijods of demand wrichi so frequenthl occurred dtlring the late war, when-a iutch heavier price was readily realized than it now bears.-S.effleld Iris. Oii Welmnesday wveek, as Samuel Greenyer, a workman in the employ of Henry Doughty, Esq., of Dentoii, near Newhaven, i's Sussex, was digEink in a c laTh-pit, le discovered, three feet be- low the sur.face, a saeleton of a female. She had a Ting on her finger, and is supposed to have been buried there 30 years ince, firom the cireumstance of a w om an having beenrrepor,d tohave been mtur- dered about that time; her body Was never found, or traces of the murder discovered. Bo synxSTEET.-MAs. CulawErLL.-We stated on a fonrer da-, that a poor woman of this name had been brought to this office in a state of great distress, and had been sent to St. Giles'-r workhoase. A gentleraan of the name of Vale, a linen-dTaper, at Islington, at- tended on Weduesday at the ofiice, and confirmed her story, as to the fonner respectab[ity of her husband as. a tradesman in Great Russell-street, Bloonisbury, and as to the tatt of her having had a large fortune when mnarried. She was born in Spain, and was re- spectably connected. MUlr. Vale had lived as foreman with her hus- band Fhein he failed; auit now left tY o guineas for her use, promising to use his exertions to extend this relief. The money was immle- diately sent to the unfortunate w oma,Tr. UNION-nI;LTerTirE VAGRANT ACT.-A. watchman belonging to the St. Olave's trist was brought before J. B. ALLEN, Fsq., u1pon a summous issued out on the complaint of a respectable Young man agairnst whom hie had improperly exercisel the powers given to hiim by tdi late obnoxious act for the punishplenf of vagrants. Perhaps it is not yet well known that the commoni watchmen, many of wiloin are notoriously acquainted asd familiar vith the most de- praved characters, are rewarded with the sum of 5s. noon the eon- viction of every individual apprehended uinder the prefenec of hav- ing violated the act. Tbiegentleman stated, that a few eveninigs ago he accompanied a young lady, to w.honi lie was paying his -addresses, to the (Uobuhrr I'heatre, from whence they went to his thather's house andI had sup- per. At about 12 o'clock, he went to see hier home to the rest- dece of her fAsiler in Tooley-street, and 'on reaching the dloor lie kissed her, as was usual with hin, and he' sunosed withl every other young man under such circ-umstances. He, however, iliet with a check whicb lie little expected, from the defendant, whio approach- ed him, and in a most insiolent inanner, said, "1 sce what vou are about, you are indecently exposing yourself, and I have a miitd to take you both oL'f to the watehhouse." Thte complainant, iridigniant at so atrocious a charge msade in the presence of a virtuocs yooung woman, with whom he looked forward to a coanexion for life, told' the-watchman he was a scoundrel for making sucsi accusation, and delled bhin to put his thircat into exectstion. The voung ladr was iu a state of very great agitation in coisequentce of the rhefen ant'sconduct,.and besought tie complaitiant to have no further al- tercation with him. The watciman, w)tose dignity was iturt at this' request, said, " Theun I'll take you both olf to the w&tchhouse." The.l fellow took thelm off accordingly, and charged them before the high constable, wlio, uipot hearing the charge, immcdiatelg dismissed it-. Alr.' : isbserved, that he bat iever heard of a niofe bare- faced accusation, aud that ihe was convinced the watcmian hasi not the slightest grounid for complaint of any kIiid. He Iad always made it a practice to assist watehmlen in the execttioni of thir duty; but when they ex'ceedt that duty, as was thi case in the iiresen iii- stance, he would take care that their punislimeist slioLild lie as inear- ly as pos.sible proportioned to their offence. * 'rhe compwlainant said; that his objoet in: bringio forward this chatge, was to protect the putblic from the injriesvwillehnIist inevi- tabhly eimite from the Sso of thepoweni given by the Vagrant Act. Since the occurrence hnd taken place, lie had beeh itifonned that up to this transaction the defenidant had conducted himself with p`ma prier, and as that was the case, and a. large farmily was aep6d6pt upon him for support, it was to be hoped that the magistrate would visit hinm with io heavier punisliment than mi,ht be'sufficiept to, operatcas ~warving toohrbers in'tiht samc situation: - Sevcral persons came fortward to give the defendant a go6d-cha- riacter, and, lUr.-ALL-iw having, with his amccustoined humanitv, taken those recommendatdonsa into accounlt, xsentenced thg vafchiaa {iuenely to a brief' 6usp en sion of his s'i tuastior. ..
