On Tuesday afterinoon, Mr. Parkinson, ironmtonger,. of Colne, who had but lately beegn business, accompanied by three other young men went into the Leeds and Liverpool canal-near that place. Two of tiem swam across the canal, and 31r. Parkinson at- temptedl to follow, bat when he got about the middle, he was obserr. ed to return into more shallow water; he afterwards made a second attempt to swim across, but not being a good swimmer, he became so fatigaed that he let his feet down to rest, the water took him near. ly over-head when he stoed upright. His companions perceiving him strugglein the water, hastened to his assistance, got hold of him bv the hair and attempted to raice him, but without success One ol the young men, who was unable to swim, in his exertions to ave his cimpanion, got into deep water, and was with difficulty saved. The other two young men, though much exhausted, made a second attempt to extricate Alr. Parkinson, and they again suc. ceeded in getting hold nf his hair, but they found it impossible to raise him, and he begun then tofll gradually backward, and sank to thebottom, fomn wthence ke was in about half an hour taken alfeless corpse by two men who came up with a boat. It is supposed that Mr. Parkingoa's feet had stuck fast in the mud, which is very deep in that part of the canal.-Leeds A fercury. lAdvertisement.1The Nc M t illdon?ry Me,aqine for June 1, contains twenty-six original articles; among which are the first of a series of apers entitled "'Absenteeism"-" A Dream," by Thomas Campbell.Esq.-" Every Day People," by one of the authors of Rejected Addrsse-and a letter from Captain Cochrane relative to'l Captain Parry's third voyage to the Polar Seas.

There were three counts in the declaration: tfie first and second for the assault and battery, and the third for the false inprisonmcnt. The jury gave a verdict generally for 40s. da- mages,nnd the Lord Chief Justice AInHOTT certified, to prevent the plaintiff from getting COSts. Mlr. Sergeant lELL now applied to the Court on behalf of the plaintiff; and submnitted that as there was a separate count for false imprisonment, the certificate of the Jusdge could not extend to that. The COUBT held that there was no ground for such an applica. tion as the present. Such a decision as that nowvsought ras wholly without precedent. The learned Sergeant took nothing by his motion.

4e/Ore 11yir. a-ergiant ARABIN. Thwmas Puttock Was indicted for stealing 31b. of coffee, the property of the WYest tndia Company. The prisoner pleaded "guilty," and theCompany,through their counsel,recommendedhim to mercy on account of his good character for 20 years, during which he had been in their service. John Simmnons, a bov about 10 years of age, was charged with stealing a watch-seal and key, the Property of - Loden. The pri- soner had been in the prosecutor's service for six weeks, during which period he purloined and pawned several articles of his pro. perty. It appeared that he had been led into these crimes by asso- ciattng with other boys of bad character. The Jury found him Guiiltyv, and the Court observed that it would be unsafe to let him looseupon sodety again. Before the CoMMoifoN SERGEANT. George Brittle was indicted for ruarrying Christiana Massey in the year 1821, his former wife, Sarah Harding. being still alive. Elizabeth Saunderson was present at St. John's church, Hackney, when the prisoner was married to Christian Massey. On cross- examination, she said she did not know where Chlristiana Mlassey was now but she made no complaint against her husband. Another witness proved the prisoner's marriage, in 1810, with Sarah Harding, who afterwards deserted him, anel lived with other men. ln his defence, the priso.ier said, that for some time after his mar- riage with Sarah Harding there could not he a better wife. He loved her-he protested he loved her-to distracdon. But she turned out a base and abandoned character, and had children by othermen, whom she went tolive with. Several witnesses gave him a good character for attention to his wife and child, which child belonged to his former wife. The Jury found him Guilty, but strongly recommended hih to mercy. rhe COMMON SERGEANT fined the prisoner a shilling, and discharged him. He was sorry, he said, that the charee had been brought forward at all: if the woman herself did not coimplain, he saw no reasoR why any one else should. Mfr. ALLEY said that the prosecution arose out of the prisonier's omission to Pay 3s. Gil. a week to the parish far a bastard child of the irst wife's. One of the Worship-street officers aiked for his expenses. The Couirto SERGEANT inquired who had brought forward the prosecution ? The officer said he came forward bv order of the magistrate. and had paid 8s. out of his own pocket. The Coir(se SEItGEANT said he should learn more of the case.

-Mr. CANNING'S statement last night in the House of tCommons respecting the supposed increase of the French naval forec at Rio Janeiro, will be found satisfactory.

We learn with pleasure, that one of those places of resort called " Hells," in St. James's-street, has been detected, and is likely to have its practices disclosed by legal pro- ceedings. The personages frequenting the placeare devils of a higher rank I and great pains were taken to allure such by the splendour of the furniture, the richness of the fare, ana the humbug of a pretended ballot for members: as if atiy other quality were necessary in the dupes of a gambling- house beyond those of possessing money, or having relations whom their miscondluct may ruin or render unhappy.

From the French papers of Friday, whiclh arrived last night, we can only quote the following paragraphs:- "The official part of the Monitetr contains two Royal ordinances. "1. Fixes the number of General Oflicers of the Land Forces to 160 Lieutenant.Generals and 300 Major-Generals. The 2d ar- ticle states what General Officers are admitted to half pay. "2. Relates to the organization of the Royal School, created by an ordinance of the 20th of Auguat, 1824; the purpose of which is to bring up yoAng men (24 in number) to a knowledge of the ma. nagement, cultivation, &c., of forests.

The Marquis CAMDEU has againfalfilled the periodical engagement whichi he imposed upon himself, by paying over to the consolidated fund 9,3441., being the amount of fees for 1824, which his Lordship, as Teller of the Exche- quer, surrendered of his own free will to the country. Lor(d CAMDEN, at his cntrance into life, wvas by no means cmbarrassed with riches. He has had a family to provide for, numerous en ough to plead his pardonl had he looked with as mzueh anxiety as many others of the same rank, to matters of mere vulgar concern. His Lordship, however, chose to take a more generous view of the relation in which he stood to society; and bv the noble sacrifice wbich he has made of that whole tribe- of contracted feelings by which men in his predicament, and, alas! of his station, have been too often- actuated, Lord CAMDEN. has proved himself not only generous but wisc. His Lordship has, in our humble opinion, shown himself no bad econo- mist by this dcparture from the ordinary modes of selfishness. He has made a discriminating and pro- fitable bargain, as may be fairly said of every man who gets more than the value of bis money. He has laid out 10,0001. per annum in a magnificent improve- ment of his patrimonial estate-of that inheritance which no vicissitude of fortune, which notlting but ignoble con- duct on his own part, could deprive bim of-the name and honour of an illustrious parent, whose virtues and whose mnoral dignity he thus hands down, not merely unimpaired, but augmented. It is due to L3rd CAMDEN, an(d still more so to an age whish stands in need of high incentives, that his claiTn upon the honest gratitude of bis country- inep should be frequently recalledl to mind; and that so fair an example of public spirit should not sink into utter forgetflIness, either as a recompense or as a lesson.

It is now generally unilerstood, that the reduction of the 4 per c( rtts. will be completed without any difficulty to Go- vernmenit, as the amount require(d to be paid off docs not exceed 8sooo,oool. The actual assents are for about 6 t,000,000!.; but to this is to be added, the stock held by the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, that in the hanrls of foreigners, and the stock heldl by trustees, who are allowed an exteniion of time for giving in their assemt, the whole of which may probably amotunt ta 3,000,0001. The amount of the 4. per cent. stock is about 75,000,0001. It is said to have been originally in the contemplation of Government, to have offered the holders of 4 per cents. 1001. 3 per cent. stock for each 1001., with a bonus in mnoney; but which, without any material saving in inter- est, would have entailed a heavy immnediate expense on the counltry: but that was subsequently abandoned for the present incasure, which has been successfuil far beyoiid the exrectations entertained when it was first proposed.

Sir,-On Saturday last, the 24th inst., a young woman, appa- rently about 20 years of age, of a dark complexion, and respectable appearance, rapped at our door, and statel to our serant that she understood we wanted a servant (which was the case), and that our baker had sent her (which proved to be false), to which she was re- plied in the affirrnative, but that the ladv was out, and would re- turn in about an hour. The stranzer expressed her regret, and re- quested (as she had walked from Chelsea. and was going on foot to Greenwich, preparatory to a joumey to Seven Oaks, where her friends (as she said) resided, that she might be permitted to walk in and rest herself until the retrnm of my wife, which our servant (from hierdecent appearance and manner) consented to, and allowed her to sit down in the kitchen. After waiting three quarters of an hour. shesaid, thatas she was very much fatigued and hungrv, shc would step out and get some refreshment, promising to be back again in ten minutes. In the mean time my wife arrived, and soon afterwards, our servant, on going to a closet in the kzitchen, for the spoons for thedinner-table, found that the usgrateful femalebad decamped 'With a pair of the best table-spoons, which she had stolen during a momentary absence of our servant in the adjoining kitchen. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the pretended servant never called azain. The above niay act as a warning to others wlhom she will probably endeavour to rob under the same plausible pretext. G.
