VTHE GOOD OLD PLOUGH . Let them sing who may of the tattle fray , And the deed * that _ ha . Te long since part ; Let them chant in praise o ! the tar -whose days Are spentJn tbe ocean -Fast ; I -would render to these all the worship yon please , I would honour them even jiow , Bat Pd . give far more from my heart ' s fall store To the cause of the Good Old Plough . Xet them land the notes , that in mask floats Through , their bright and their glittering halls ; While the amorous twirl of the hairs' bright carl Ronnd the shoulder of beauty falls . Sat , dearer to me is the Bong from the tree , And the rich and blossoming bongh ; Oh ! these are the sweets -which the rustic greets As he follows the" Good Old Plough .
Then hew joennd the song u it comes along Rom the plonghmsn ^ s lnsty thsoat ; Did the innler * * shout ever yet give oak To the brown woods a merrier note ? Though he follows no honnd , yet his day is crora'd With a triumph &b good 1 trow , As though antlared head at his feet lay dead , Instead of the Good Old Plough . Foil many there be that we daily Bee With a selfish ana hollow pride , Whom the ploughman's lot in his humble cot With a scornful look deride . Yet r < Lxatber take , aye , a hearty shake Prom his hand than to wealth I'd bow ; Por the hones ! , grasp of that hand ' s rough clasp Bath stood by the Good Old Plough .
AH honour be then to these grey old men , When at last they are bowM with toil ; Their warfare then o ' er , why they battle no more Tor thejTe conquered thB stnhbom sofl . And the ebaplet each wears are his silver "hairs , And ne ' er shall the - ? icior ' a brow With a laureled crown to thB grave ge down , Like these sons of the < Jood Old Plough .

o A WOSD DT SKASG 2 J - BT CHAHLES DICKXSS . They hare a superstition is the East , That ALLAH ,, written on a piece of paper , Is better unction than , can come of priest , Of rolling incense , and of lighted taper : Holding that any scrap which bears that name , in any characters , its front imprest on , Sbaflhelp the finder through the purging flame , And give his toasted feet s pltce to iesi on . Accordingly they make a mighty fuss With every wretched tract and fierce oration , And beard the leaves ? for they are not lifce us , A highly civilised and thinking nation ; And always stooping in the miry ways
To look for matter of this earthy leaven , They seldom in their dust-exploring days , Have any leisure to look up to Heaven . So I have known a country en the earth , Where / JBrVnw sat upon the livics waters , And brutal ignorance , and toil , and dearth , Were the hard portion of ilB sons and daughters ; And yet , where they who should hav oped the door Of chanty and light , for all men's finding , Squabbled for words upon the altar floor , And rent The Book , in struggles for the binding . The gentlest man among these piouB Turks God ' s living image ruthlessly defaces : Their best higfe churchman , with no faith is works , Bowstrings the Virtues in the market-places . lbs Christian Pariah , whom both sects curse ,
( They corse all other men , and curse each other , ) Walks thro' the world , not much the worse—Does all the good he can , and loves his brother .

A portion of the people having subsequently moved from the Town-house towards the Royal Palace , the officer on duty ihere look alarm and sent for reinforcements .

ALGIERS . — The Moniieur pnblishes the following report , addressed by General Baraguay d'Hilliers to Marshal Bugeaud . It is dated Constantma , Nov . 4 : — " In the province of CoBBtantina is a powerful tribe called the Sahari who inhabit the desert in winter , but in spring and summer come down in the Shah and the Tell , where they pasture a great many cattle . The Sahari annually give rise to loud complaints against them . Sometimes they plant themselves on cultivated lands , which they devastate ; sometimes they carry on the trade of highway robbers , and uniformly , before retiring to the desert , they plunder one of the settled tribes . This year they made the Smoulls their victims . Without any provocation , while the C&id of the Smoulls was absent with his goum , gathering in the taxes from the Segnias , the Sahari invaded the tribe , killed many of them , and carried off one hundred camels . I could not abandon
the submissive tribes , and as it was quite time that these deprecations should be repressed , and the brigands punished , gave orders to Commandant Legrand , of the Sp&his , to march against the Sahari and chastise them . One hundred and sixty chaseurs , as many Spahis and bodies from the different tribes , assembled by the Kalifa , pursued the Sahari , and overtook them at the defile of Batena . Aware of our coming , they collected all their force and made a stout resistance . At first they beat back the goum
and the Spahis ; but when the chasseurs came up they were defeated and broken , with the loss of sixty men killed , and 2 , 400 camels and an innumerable flock of sheep captured . Those were all brought to Constantina , My intention being , not to Tuin , but only to punish , " I have sent to make known to them that I willreBtore their camelsif they will come in and petition for the Aman . I have no doubt of their coming ; for by thus uniting generosity -with severity we shall , no doubt , impress them with a deep idea of our strength and power . "
Mobb " Globt !"—The Messager publishes several despatches from Algiers , one a letter addressed by General Tempoure to Marshal Bugeaud announcing a battle on the 11 th of November , the result of which was that the Kalifat Sidi Embarrack was left dead on the field of battle , with 400 of his troops . General Temponre pursned the rest of the army , bnt by the last aeconnt had not overtaken them . On the 25 th of October , General Silleque took the town of Boussada , which he considered the key of the desert , as regards trade , without firing a shot . Boussada is entirely of Arabian origin . No trace of Roman mine is found in it . According to tradition it was built in the fifth century of the hegyra . It has a population of about 4 ^ 00 persons .
Ah Affbat is New Zeaiaitd . —The Sydney Herald of the 13 ; h of July , gives late intelligence from New Zealand , according to which a conflict had taken place between the English and the natives at Cloudy Bay . The particulars are as follows : — "Hanpero , a chief , had interfered with the proceedings of a parly of snrveyora belonging lo Nelton , who were setting out * country sections' at Wairoa . It appears he at first remonstrated with them , and deEirtd they would leave the place , which they refused to do ; the consequence was , that he burnt their huts , and detained or stole their effects . The Nelson authorities then issued a warrant for his apprehension , and a party of about forty persons proceeded to secure him and another accomplice ,
who , i t was said , had assisted him in his work of destruction . Having madeknown the object of their visit throngh the medium of an interpreter , the natives , who had assembled to the number of about eighty , exhibited their fire-arms , and showed by gesticulations their small inclination to submit to the surrender t of the parties required . The interpreter , who it is presumed was Mr . Tnckett , with the Company ' s agent , then retired to the persons in the rear , for the pnrposB of bringing them np to the spot , but in the mean lime the report of a musket was heard , and he saw that they had been attacked by the natives , who kept np a running skirmish with them as they ascended the hill . Mr . Tuckett now sought personal safety , and with five others gained
the coast , and made their retreat on board the brig which took them to Cloudy Bay . From the acconnts published it cannot be gathered how many Europeans remained with the natives j but it is stated that three of the former and four of the latter were killed . Upon the arrival of the brig at Wellington , a meeting of the magistrates was held , and they determined to Eend off a large party to rescue the whites from the natives . The brig took the company appointed , and after a cruise of two days landed them and two or three persons , at the latest dateB , had cone ashore to . mike inquiries , and treat wun the natoes . " A meeting cf the inhabitants of Wellington was held on the 27 th of June , to urge upon
the Government at Anckland , the Governor or J \ ew South Wales , and the Secretary of State himself , the necessity of affording xoUitary protection to the residents at Coots Straiia . The Sydney papers regard the present outbreak as exceeding ly alarming , and beg the Attention of the home Government to it . From other fac t s disclosed by the present arrival , it seems the iaV' res have not the most friendly feeling for the Eettlers , since in several cases they have claimed -navment for tracts of land before pnrchased Trom th « New Zealand Company , and were apparr ntly quite prepared to enforce their aemandgi li the vartiei appliid to refused . From Auckland the date is as late as the 17 th June .

A Strangb Stobt—The New Yosk Courier and Inquirer says , that from recent dates of the Royal Gazette and Guiana Times we have obtained borne information beautifully illustrative of the boasted magnanimity of British forces in protecting the poor African from bis oppressors . We give the statement of the facts from English authority , and leave our readers to judge how appropriate is the boast , that all men , once under the shadow of the English flag , are free . With facts like these staring them in the face , how England has the assurance to prate to U 3 about our slaves , evinces a degree of impudence utterly beyond our powers to conceive . It appears that the Dutch Government schooner Henrietta Elizabeth , recently arrived in "the river Demerara ,
bringing with her , under the charge of Mr . W . R . Inglis , secretary , &c , a score or more of Africans from Surinam . This strange arrival produced no little Jastonishment among the good people of Demerara , and upon inquiry it turned out that these poor wretches were the remains of a cargo of alaves taken in 1823 from a Blaver named the Las Nievas ( the Snow ) whicn was captured at that time , and taken into Paramaribo , Surinam , for adjudication bgfore the mixed British and Dutch commission at that place . The Guiana Times says— " The slaveB , then , some forty-nine in number , were of course declared , for decency ' s sake , free . In spite of which , through the rapacity of the Dateh Government , and the criminality of the British Commissioner , they remained twenty long years in bondage , subject to the lash , the Spanish buck , and all the other tender mercies of the code of Surinam , until their numbers
diminished down to twenty-six , inclusive of the children born during this sore and iniquitous servitude . Will it be believed that the British Commissioner , who connived at this infamy , received the thanks of the British Government for his services ! From all the horrors of such a slavery these poor wretches have been redeemed , partly through the awakened activity of the Foreign Secretary of State , but mostly , we have reason to think , through tlfe honesty and zeal of the present British Commissioner , Mr . Schenley , who , however , living in the camp of the selfish and insidious enemy , is daily threatened with personal violence , and unless he is supported by the Home Government , must necessarily give up his commendable undertaking , although there are several hundreds of bonafide free Negroes exposed to the torments from which the twenty-six have so happily escaped . "
Dreadfdx Conflict with Pirates . —By the latest accounts received from Java , the expedition against the pirates , commanded by Captain J . T . A . Coertzen , was to the south-east of Celebes , and had succeeded in destroying the retreats of the pirates in the islands of Tannah , Djampea , and Kaloetoea , near Saleyer , with thirty large pirate vessels , taking forty pieces of cannon . " Some days afterwards the Hecla discovered a great number of pirate vessels in a bay of the islands to the south-east of Celebes , which on seeing the Hecla immediately put to sea , and attempted to save themselves by flight . Being soon overtaken by the Hecla ( a steamer ) , an engagement ensued in the Strait of Boneratte , ' the pirates seeing they could not escape , prepared to make a
desperate resistanoe , and waited for the steamer . The pirates on this occasion fought with a degree of intrepidity of which there are few examples . One of their largest vessels , on board of which was the serang or panglima of the pirates , and which is said to have had a crew of one hundred and fifty men , fell into oar hands , with thirty-seven slaves , among whom were eight women , five children , and five of the pirates , One of whom was the serang , who , however , afterwards died of his wounds ; the others lost their lives . Another vessel , with about one hundred men , having been much damaged by our balls , turned to the shore and ran aground the crew fled up the country . These two vessels were well provided with guns . The largest had thirteen mounted , two of
which were Bix-ponnderB . The other pirate vessel fled , favoured by the approach of night and a high wind . We have to regret the loss of seven killed and twenty-six wounded . After the steamer fell in with the pirate vessels , and soon sunk one of them , the others retreated , and our people thought they were rid of them ; when , after some debate , as it seems , having killed the women and thrown the bodies that were oa board into the sea , resolred to conquer or die , they came on in greater numbers than before , and , notwithstanding the destructive fire opened upon them , they boarded the steamer , where a deplorable conflict ensued , which in all probability , considering the great superiority of the pirates , would have ended to the disadvantage of the
steamer , so that the Hecla would have been captured and the erew carried into slavery , or put to the sword , had not the captain , with extraordinary presence of mind , thought of usini ; the fire engine to pour boiling water on the pirates . They , beiDg quite naked , -were burnt and scalded , and with fearful cries sought for safety or flight , so that the captain , who had not been able to use either his guns or his small arms , had now the opportunity of completing , by his fire , the destruction of the flying pirates and their vessels . Persons who are acquainted with these pirates and their vessels , are convinced that if they had unhappily taken his Majesty's steamer , they would have obtained a degree of power which might have had the most fatal consequences fer coasting vessels and merchantmen . —Dutch Paper .
ABYSSINIA . —The Bombay Times announces the liberation of 7000 Christian slaves from galling bondage , at the intercession of Captain Harris , late Ambassador lo Abyssinia , whilst hundreds of doomed Pagan prisoners taken in the bloody forays witnessed by the British embassy were set at large . This was not all ; for , through the same mediation , several members of the royal house of Shoa , and princes of the blood , whom a barbarous policy has , since the days of Solomon , doomed to chains and a living grave , have been liberated by Britibh influence .
INDIA . —Oterlakd Mail . —The revolution in the Punjaub has been the principal topic of interest during the month . The report of the murder of Dhyan Sing has been confirmed—he fell by the hand of the regicide Ajeet , who , however , shortly after met his death by being in turn slain . Heera Sing , the son of Dhyan Sing , has placed a suppositions son of Rnnj&et Sing , a boy of six or seven years of age , upon the throne , and himself occupies the post of Prime Minister . It is not known whether Lord EUenborourgh will interfere , though reports of the immediate assemblage , on the Sikh frontier , of
an army consisting of from 30 , 000 to 36 , 000 men , tend to induce a pretty general belief that he will eventually , if not at oace , do so . The Bengal troops ordered to Stride , to relieve those of Bombay , have been countermanded , and are to remain for the present at Ferozspore . The " Army of Exercise , " however , it would appear is still to be assembled on the Jumna , What this force is to be nobody positively knows , though it is surmised it is intended for Gwalior . Dewan Sawun Mull , the powerful chief of Moultan , has been murdered . It is believed his assassination took place about the time of the first revolutionary outburst at Lahore .
News from Affghanistan has been received , which lead us to believe that Dost Mahommed is not destined to retain very long [ the reins of authority at Cabul . He has become exceedingly unpopular , many of his subjects are in open rebellion . —the chiefs are dissatisfied—conspiracies are forming against him—and an attempt has been made to effect his assassination , which , however , luckily proved unsuccessful . From Sinde we have few details , save of sickness , from which the troops at Sukkur and Kurrachee
have suffered severely . Apprehensions would seem to exist at Shikarpore of an attack on our troops by the Hill tribeB and people of Moulton . Should this occur , doubtless bhere Mahomed , who was captured at Sehwan , in June last , has arrived in Bombay , and proceeds to join his fellow prisoners at Sassoor . Gwalior is still turbulent ; but it seems doubtful whether we shall take measures for its pacification . Hurree Holkar , the ruler of Mai wa , is dead . Intelligence has been received from Macao ( China ) to the 28 : h of August , but it is of no importance in a political point of view . —Chronicle .

Numbers of the visitors are daily attracted to the spot to Bee the destruction mado to one oi the best roads out of Brighton . Measures are being taken for cutting a new road from Komptown to Kottingdean more inland , as no means can be adopted to 6 ave the present road . . The CoNvict Stolzer . —This man has been removed , with seventy other convicts , to the Penitentiary at Milbank . under sentence of ttansoortatioa
tor ate . it has seldom happened that a convict in possession of sound intellect , as this man evidently was ,, has been knowu to manifest the confirmed apathy and dogged taciturnity which was displayed by StoJzer , from the time of his committal to Newgate for murder to the time of his removal . As his trial approached at the October Sessions he evinced no curiosity , and he received the sentence of death passed ou him with a Ballon indifference ; and when taken below he said , " It ' s no more than I expected . " During his confinement in the cells the sheriffs , as is alread
y known , made application to the Executive for a commutation of the sentence , which in the first instance proved abortive . The culprit was informed of the application and its result . He expressed no gratitude for the exertions that had been made , and in reference to the unfavourable reply of the Secretary of State , he only remarked , " It ' s no more than I expected . " When the respite came down to Newgate a few days before that appointed for his execution , and the fact was communicated , ho did not show any Burprise or express any gratitude .
Awful Fire and Loss of Life . —From a Second Edition of the Cheltenham Chronicle . —We deeply regret to announce a most destructive fire attended by the loss of not less than seven lives , which dreadful calamity occurred on Wednesday ^ morning , at Willersley , a small Tillage near Evesham . It appears that in the course of the preceding day , a chimney in the house of Mr . Rimell , who rents a small farm at Willersley , caught fire and it was supposed that it was completely put out—but unfortunately such was not the case , for about three on Thursday morning Mr . Rimell awoke and found the horse was on fire . j He immediately got out of the bed-room window , and brought a ladder , hoping to resoiie his wife , eight children , and a poor woman from Weston , who had been washing at Mr . RimelFs . Such , however , was not the case ; for dreadful to relate , Mrs . Rimell , five of the children , and the poor woman , fell sacrifices to the devouring flames .
The three surviving children escaped , two Of them by a low window and the third by way of the ataircasei before it waa rendered impassable by the flames . Mrs . Rimell might have been saved , but when her husband begged her to come down the ladder , she exclaimed , " O , my poor children . " and returned into the room , when the floor sunk under them , and they were not seen again until dug out of the ruins mere cinders . The age of the eldest child burnt is nine years and a half—the youngest one year and a-half . Poor Rimell has lost all his clothes , furniture , and money . What adds to this melancholy event is that the washer-woman was a widow , and has left eight unfortunate orphans to bewail her loss .

Discharging a Debtor—A debtor in Pennsylvania gaol lately sent to his oreditor to let him know that he had a proposal to make which he believed would be for their mutual benefit . The creditor called upon him to hear it . "I have been thinking , " said the former , " that it is a very bad thing for me to be here , and to put you to the expense ; of one dollar and 25 cents , per week . My being so chargeable to you has given me great uneasiness—for heaven knows what it may cost you in the end ; therefore what I would propose is this —you sha'l lot me out of gaol , and allow me one dollar a week , and let the 25 cents , go towards discharging the debt .

John Lande , No . 4 , Margaret place , Hackney , said that on Thursday night , about half-past eight o'clook , he was standing on a wharf by the side of the Regent ' s Canal , near the Hackney-road , when he heard a splash in the water on the side opposite to that where he was . Soon after he saw a female rise , who held up her hands , with which she got hold of the side of the bank , and at the time she gave a loud shriek . She sank again , and on rising gave another shriek . The drags were procured , and she was got out in five minutes . She was brought
to the Sir Walter Scott , where a surgeon attended , who , for two hours , tried to restore life , but without effect . A bonnet and shawl were found on the towing path . William Henry Wright , of No . 7 , Vinestreet , Spitalfields , a weaver , said that he was de ceased ' s father , who lived with him . She had been in a good state of health .

She was strongly attached to a young man , with whom she had a quarrel , and who had , during the last fortnight , slighted her a great deal . No one could have behaved more kindly to her than he and her mother did . She used to be a very lively girl . He saw her last alive about two hours before she was found in the canal .

Alarming Fires . —About ten o clock in the forenoon of Sunday , a fire broke out in the back part of the premises in the occupation of Mr . M . J . Winsor , victualler , Old King ' s Head , 18 , Bear-street , Leicenter-square . On © of the inmates notioed a strong smell of fire in the locality of the tap-room , which is ou the ground floor at the rear of the building . Upon proceeding thither , the floor , benches , and furniture were discovered to be on fire . Several dozen of pewter pots , which were piled to dry were also melting , and the molten metal was running upon the ground in a burning stream . Five brigade engines , under the direction of Mr . Fogo , of the King-street station , having arrived shortly after the outbreak , and a powerful one from the County depot , under the super inter : dance of Mr . Carter , the whole of which were well supplied with water , the
fury of the fire was soou subdued , but not before considerable damage was done . Mr . Winsor is insured in the County Fire Office . The fire is supposed to have originated by some embers of tobacco falling among the saw-dust on the floor of the tap room . Another fire , which threatened the most serious consequences at its outbreak , was discovered shortly after noon yesterday , at the private residence of C . Cook , Esq ., Montpeiier Row , Lambeth . The fire originated in a foul flue ; thence it extended to the drawing-room , the valuable furniture in which is destroyed , and the building generally extensively damaged . Fortunately , by the judicious exertions of Mr . Henderson , in outting away the timber of the flue , and in directing the removal of the portable property , the fire was prevented from extending , and many of the effects saved . The occupier is insured .
Death of a Convict . — -It will be recollected by those who peruse the reports of the papers , that a postmaster in Lincolnshire , named John Nicholson , abstracted the hairea of-several bank-notes from a letter , and , with the view of rendering them available , transmitted them to Messrs . Cox and Savory , Corhill , to pay for a quantity of plate ordered , at the same time promising to remit the other halves on its receipt , the order being given in the name of a clergyman . The plate was sent , and a Jew employed to dispose of it , and the other halves c . f the notes not having been transmitted , an . investigation took place , and the postmaster was found guilty and sentenced to transportation . The convict was sent to Woolwich preparatory to the terms vf his sentence being carried ont , but his degraded situation had so great an effect upon his bodily health , that he pined away and died last week . On Thursday an inquest was held upon the body , as is the case
upon the body of every convict , and the jury returned a verdict , " Died of low fever and debility . " Br , Bossey , medical attendant on the conviot , observed , they might have eaid , ^ Died of a broken heart ,, " and there were many instances of similar ©/ uses amoRflst the convicts . ' From conversations with several convicts it would appear that many die of broken heart and spirits , in consequence of th'air truly melancholy situation , and it requires more than ordinary care on the part of their medical attendants , to restore them to any degree of health , if once attacked by illness , as the absence Df hope , especially amongst those sentenced to transportation for life , causes them , to sink on the fit ^ t appearance of disease of any kind , and they seldom recover , or , if they are partially restored , it is only to relapse from the slightest circumstances , which would not in the least affect persons in the enjoyment of liberty .

A Frescr Miseb . —Several years ago , an old man named Dubiiisson arrived at Pont Audemer , in the Seine Inferieure , accompanied by his son . They were both without shoes , and scarcely covered from the weather , even in the utmost severity of winter . They brought nothing with them but an old iron-bound trunk , which was stated by Dubuisson to contain only some old pieces of broken ironwork . In this state they concinned to live , having scarcely more than one dinner in two days , and apparently so altogether destitute , that their
neighbours frequently j ottered them charity . The old man was enthusiastically devoted to the memory of Napoleon , and , oh the day of the transport of his remains to Paris , he committed the extravagance of buying a pair of shoes for his son , that ho might go and see the procession pass . This was the only pair ever seen on the feet of either father or son . In this abjeot state Dubuisson died , without medical assistance ox other care . When , after his death , the great trunk was opened ; it was found to contain no less than lOO . OOOf ., in gold and silver coin . — Galignani . ¦
Tom Stkelk . —No one among the notabilities on the platform excited my attention to such a degree as the Tom Steele of newspaper notoriety , who is ; almost of equal fame with O'Connell through all Ireland , as O'Connell ' s satellite , and who , without O'Connell , would probably have been as little known as Jupiter ' s satellites without Jupiter . This man has , as I was informed , spent no inconsiderable fortune , entirely in agitating . He is now poor , and appears more than ever devoted to the cause for which he has sacrificed his property . Tom Steele possesses as striking an appearanoe as one of Bardolph ' s , Pistol's , and Nyni ' s boon companions , or rather looks like What one could imagine Corporal Bardolph himself to hare been . He has the long and meagre figure : of a corporal , and withal the fiery nose of Bardolph . !; The only difference isthat his
, face appears , at any rate , now , more care-worn and melancholy than that of Bardolph . I need hardly say , that he has the manner of a man without education , and when lone hears him speak , it is hard to understand how , except by expenditure of money , he has obtained any influence and power with the people . It may be that the man has other inward and nobler qualities , which I know nothing of : this is possible ; but so much is certain , that I have not exaggerated in the least in my description . Falstaff blames Prince Harry for the bad company in which he finds him ; and I must ear , that Tom ' s physiognomy , —judging only from his physiognomy , —waa such as led me to wish I had not seen O'Connell in his company . He was , however , received with loud cheers , which he ! acknowledged , and then took a seat by O'Conaelli—Kohl ' s Travels in Ireland .
Queer Calculation . —Some singular genius has perpetrated the following calculations : — " I have been married thirty-two years , during which time I have received from the hands of my wife three cups of coffee each day , two in the morning and one at night , making 35 , 040 cups of half-apint each , or nearly seventy barrels of thirty gallons each , weighing 17 , 5201 bs ., or nearly nine ton 3 weight . Yet for that period I have scarcely varied myself in weight from 1601 bs . It will , therefore , be seen that I have drunk in coffee alone 218 times my own weight . I am not much of a meat-eater , yet I presume I have consumed about eight ounces a-day , which makes 5 , 806 lbs ., or about ten oxen . Of flour I have consumed , in the thirty-two years , about fifty barrels . For twenty years of this time , up 'to 1831 , I have drank twoiwine glasses of brandy each day ,
making 900 quarts . The port wine , madeira ; whisky , punch , &o ., I am notable to count , but they are not large . In champagne I have been extremely moderate , as I find from my bills that I have paid for fifty three baskets in the last thirteen years , which is about one bottle a-week , and this not all consumed by me-1 When we take into the account ail the vegetables in [ addition , such aa potatoes , peas , asparagus , strawberries , cherries , apples , pears , peaches , raisins , &c , the amount consumed by an individual is most enormous . Now , my body has been renewed more than four times in thirty-two years , and taking it for granted that the water , of which I have drank much , acts merely as a diluent , yet , all taken together , I conclude that I have consumed in thirty-two years about the weight of 1 , 000 men of 1601 bs . each , This is small when compared with the gormandizers . "
Apprehension I o » a Gang ov Swindlers at LiTEKPooL . —Oa Friday , at the Police Court , a female , who gave her name as Mary Soholes , but whose cognomen was supposed to be a fictitious one , was placed before Mr , Kushton , charged with being concerned in a very extensive system of swindling . The prisoner had been before the Court the day previously , and was } retnanded until Friday , to afford an opportunity to make further inquiries . The police , with Mr . Dowling as their guide , then set to work to discover jwhether there might not be others engaged in these nefarious proceedings , and , after a diligent inquiry , succeeded in tracing three persons , two men and a woman , whom there was sufficient reason to believe [ had been for a long time
successfully engaged in levying contributions upon the pub-Jic at large , under specious and false pretences . The three individuals were apprehended by John M'Coomb , an active officer of police , at their lodgings in Christian-street , on Thursday night . All the prisoners were of respectable exterior , the females being rather good-looking and genteel , and Were sufficiently well 'attired t « give them the appearance of a sort of faded gentility . They gave their names as John Neil , Andrew Craig , and Betsy Craig ; the wife of the latter . It was stated that the woman who gave her name as Scholes . there was good reason to suppose , was the wife of the prisoner Neil ; but there was not evidence at present sufficient to establish that fact . They all
resided together , and appeared to have a perfect understanding among them . The forgeries they have carried on have been of the class of begging letters , supported by forged testimonials of character , &o . Among the cases ! brought against them was one of imposing on Lord Newry , by means of one of these letters , a fabricated recommendation from Lord Downshire being attached to it , along with the name of the Mayor of Cork , and a number of highly respectable individuals belonging to that city . To give the document an appearance of being beyond suspicion , the corporate seal and arms of the city of Cork were appended , and duly signed as being such by the Mayor of Cork . When the prisoners were apprehended , the police took possession of a quantity
of books and papers , which , on examination , showed such a system of fraud and deception , on the part of the prisoners , as has rarely met with a parallel . From these documents , it appeared that the ramifications of the gang extended fat and wide , com * { rising all the principal towns and cities in England , reland , and Scotland . Letters and documents , bearing the names' of the most wealthy and influential persons connected with the different localities in which they had practised their frauds and deception , were found amongst these papers , and , if hut a tithe of the sums there , stated were given , it proves that they must have long practised a successful course of villany . Some of the papers seized related to the town of Liverpool . Manchester , atd various places
in Cheshire . In these towns lists of all the wealthy individuals , particularly those having the character of being humane and benevolent , were noted down to be called upon and victimised ; and to show the diligence as well as the canning exercised by these adepts at imposition , circumstances the most minute were pointed out regarding them to those undertaking the canvas . ! Their hours of attendance , the general disposition of the parties applied to—whether liberal or otherwise—were carefully noted down for the guidance of the party sent to defraud the unsuspecting dupe . The forged documents seized formed 9 . catalogue unparalleled even in this age of fraud , fer it appeared by these that they had carried on their depredations in Cheltenham , Birmingham ,
Leamington , Wotwngh&m , Sheffield , and Newcastle , in this country , and had also practised to a great extent in Ireland . In Scotland their operations had extended to most of the counties and towns therein , comprising Berwick-upon-Tweed , Haddingtonshire , Roxburghshire , Dumfriesshire Kirkcudbrightshire , Fifeshire , and Forfarshire . Some of the forged certificates bore the name of the Lord Primate of Ireland , the Bishops of Kilmore , Cashel , and Clogher , Lord O'Niel , Lord Downshire , in Ireland , and other prominent individuals iu all pairta of the country . The prisoners stand remanded ; On Saturday and again on Monday the prisoners were further examined , and , on each occasion , evidence affecting them adduced . They were again remanded to this day ( Saturday ) ,

Extraordinary pREaERVATios op a Seaman . — On Sunday last , Charles Robb , aged fcixty ^ four > ft seaman residing in Roperj-lane , Sunderland , arrived at home , after having been caetawayat sea , and been four days alone in an open boat . He was one of the crew of the brig Jane Helen ,-Campbell , of London , which sailed coal-laden from New Flamborengh Head . Ou the 27 th , a violent storm came on , and the ) vessel became very leaky and unmanageable . The crew considered her to be in a sinking state , and the long-boat was got out ; in doing vrhich the mate was lost overboard . Abont an hour afterwards they came up with the schooner Mary , of North Shields- , from Hamburg ; a short bass rope was thrown from the vessel , by which the boat was made fast , and
all the crew but Robb succeeded in getting on board . Just as he was attempting to leave the boat the vessel was driven off , the rope broke , and the vessel and boat separated . Robb was left in the boat alone , and without food ; and in this situation he remained for four days and three nights , when he was picked up , about one hundred miles from land , by the Danish vessel , Concordia , Capt . Orsted , from Copenhagen to London . He remained on board of the Concordia till it arrived in London , about the 7 th of November , when he wag p t ^| on board the Hospital Ship Dreadnought , and 2 fljfetinued there
several days . He was supplied ^ Wppome clothes , and with two shillings on leavu ^ 'Jier .

It appeared by the evidence that the mother had been delivered of twins in St . George ' s Workhouse , and on Thursday morning last , both of them being in good health , she proceeded with her mother to the Catholic chapel in Yirginia-stree £ » Ratcliffe-highway , for the purpose of having them baptised . On their arrival they were told that they must wait until the priest had concluded prayers . They continued in the street ( with several other females who had come with their children upon a similar errand , and to be churched ) , for upwards of
an hour , there being no place appointed in the chapel for their reception ; when the priest said he could not perform the ceremony until the following Tuesday , and they were all sent away . They were all very cold by waiting so long exposed to the cold weather , and proceeded to Wapping to the father . On opening out the shawl in which they were wrapped , it was found that the deceased was nearly lifeless , and uponbeing taken to a surgeon in the neighbourhood he expired in the shop . Mr . Wilson , parish surgeon , attributed death to convulsions produced by irritation of the bowels . Tho Jury commented in very strong terms upon the practice of keeping females in their delicate condition of health so long exposed to the air , and the coroner , at their request said ho would write to the priest on , the subject . —' Terdict— " Natural death .

There was only a limited amount of business transacted in Wheat at our market this morning ; but the sales made were at fully the currency of this day week * The best descriptions of English and Irish Flour met a tolerably heavy sale , at previous rates ; . but for inferior and low qualities there was no inquiry and the value of such must be considered nominal .
