THE GOOD OLD PLOUGH . let them sing who msy « f th » T » tUe fray , And the deeds th&l h& ? e long since past ; Let Xixem . chant in praise of tie tar ¦ whose days Are spent in the ocean-vast ; I would render to these all the worship yon please , I ^ 01115 honour them -even now , But I'd give far more from my heart' s fall store To the cause of the Good Old Plongfa . Xel them land the notes , that in ninac floats Through tbsir bright and their glittering halls ; TThile the ^ morons twirl of the hairs' bright curl Bound the shoulder of beanty falls . But , dearer to me ii the song from the tree , And the rich aad blossoming bough ; Oh ! these are the streets -which the rustic greets As he follows the Good Old Plough .
Then b ^ w iocma the song as cornea along From the ploughman !* lasty throat ; - Did the hunter's shout ever yet give out To the brown woods a merrier note ? tTfeongh he follows no hound , yet his day is crown"d With a triumph as good I trow , JLs though anllered head at hit feet lay dead , Instead of the Good Old Plough . Pull many there be that we daily see With a selfish and hollow pride , Whom the ploughman ' s lot in his hnmblB cot With a scornful look deride . Tet I'd rather take , aye , a hearty shake Prom hisliand than to wealth I'd bow ; Tor the honest grasp of that hand ' s rough clasp Bath stood by the Good Old Plough .
JLQ honour be then to these grey old men , Whea at last they axe boWd with toil ; Xbeir warfare then e ' er , why they battle no more Por they ' re conquered the stubborn soil . And the ehaplet each wears sre his silver hairs , And ne ' er * ft * Ti the -yictort brow "With a laureled crown te the grave go down , liie tbsae sons of toe Good Old Plough . Heset Mooa Doncaster .

A WOBD IN SEASON . ET CHABLES DICKEiS .. They have a superstition ia the East , That ALLAH , written on a piece of paper , 2 b 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 , Shall help the finder fcrough the purging flime , And give Ms toasted feet a place to rest on . Accordingly they mate a mighty foss With erery -wretched tact and fierce oration , And hoard the leaves ; for they are not like us , A highly civilized and thinking nation ; And always stooping in the miry ways
To look for matter of this earthy leaven , They seldsm ia their dual-exploring days , Have any leisure to look op to Heaven . So I have known a country en the earth , Where darkness S 3 t upon tbe living . waters , And brutal ignorance , and toil , and dearth , Were the lard portion of its sons and daughters ; And yet , where they who should haver oped the door Of chxriry aad light , for all men ' s finding , Scrabbled for words upon the altar-floor , And rent The Book , in straggles for the binding . The gentlest man among these pious * Turks God ' s living image ruthlessly defaces : ! Their best tugfe dmrchman , with no faith in woilu , Bowstrings the Yirtuea in the market-places . The Christian Parish , whom both sects cim-e .
( They curse all other men , and cruse each other , ) Walks thro' the world , not much the worse-Does all the good he can , and loves his brother .

FRANCTS . —Le Siecle contains an article on Irench commerce , deduced from the official returns just published by Government , by which it appears that ihe foreign trade of France-has diminished con-Hderably .

Montreal , however , will be the future seat of Government .
Jame 3 M'Dermott and Grace Marks have been sentenced to death at Toronto , Upper Canada , for the murder of Mr . Kinnear , in July last . The execution is appointed for the 21 st instant . ALGIERS .- The Moniteur publishes the following report , addressed by General Baraguay d'Hilliers to Marshal Bngeaud . It is dated Constantina , Nov . 4 :-" In tbeprovinceof CoBsiantina is a powerful tribe called the Sahari who inhabit the desert in winter , but in spring and summer come down in the Shai and the TelL / wherethey pasture a gTeat many cattle . The Sahari anunaMy 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 Smonlls their victims . "Without any provocation , ¦ while the Caid of the Smonlls wa 3 absent with hia
goum , gathering in the taxes from the Segnias , the Sahari invaded the tribe , killed many of them , and carried off one hundred cameis . I could not abandon the submissive tribes , and as it was quite time that these depredations shonld be repressed , and the brigands pnnished , jgave orders to Commandant Legrand , of the Spahis , to march against the Sahari and chastise them . Ore hundred and sixty chaseure , 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 gonm and the Spahis ; but when the chasBenrs came np they -were defeated and broken , -with the Iosb of sixty men killed , and 2 , 400 camels and an ianumeTable flock cf Eheep captured . Those -were all brought to Constantina . My intention being , not to ruin , bnt only to punisbj I have sent to make known to them that I will restore their camels if they will come in and petition for the Aman . I have no doubt of their coming- ; for by thus uniting- generosity vrith severity we shall , no doubt , impress them with a deep idea of our strength and power . "
Mobe " Glory !"—The Messager publishes several despatches from Algiers , one a letter addressed by Genera ] Tempoare 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 .

On the 25 ih of October , General Silleque took the town of Boussada , which he considered the key of the desert , as regards trade , withoat firing a shot . Boussada is entirely of Arabian origin . No trace of Roman ruins is found in it . According to tradition it was built in the fifth century of the hegyra . It has a population of about 4 , 500 persons .
An Affray in New Zealand . —The Sydney Herald ^ of the 13 . h of July , gives late intelligence from New Zealand , according to which a coLflict had taken place bet-ween the English and the natives at Cloudy Bay . The particulars are as follows : — " Ranpero , a chief , had interfered with the proceedings of a party of surveyors belonging to Nekon , who were setting out ' country sections' at Wairoa . It appears he at first remonstrated with them , and desired 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 , it was said , had assisted him in his work of destruction . Having made known the object of their visit through 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 Email inclination to submit to the SDrrecderJof the parties required . The interpreter , who it is presumed was Mr . Tuckett , with the Company ' s agent , then retired to the persona in the rear , for the purpose of bringing them up to the spot , but in the mean time 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 . Air . Tnckett now Bought 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 accounts published it cannot be gathered how many Europeans remained with the natives ; but it is stated that three of the former and four of the latter ware killed . Upon the arrival of the brig at Wellington , a meeting of the magistrates was held , and they determined to send 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 ox three persons , at the latest dates , had gone ashore to make inquiries , and treat with the DstiTeB . ' A meeting or ihe inhabitants of Weiimtrton was held on the 27 tB of June , to urge upon
the Government at Auckl * ndi the GoTernor of Jsevr South Wales , and the Secretary of State himself , the necessity « f affording military protection to the residents at Cook ' s Straits . The Sydney papers regard the present outbreak as exceedingly alarming , and bee the attention of the borne Government to it . From other facts disclosed by the present arrival , it seems the natives have not the most friendly feeling for the settlers , since in several cases they have claimed payment for tracts of land before purchased from th « New Zealand Company , and were apparently quite prepared to enforce their demands il tie parties applied to refused .

A Stbangb Stobt—The New York Courier and Inquirer says , that from recent dates of the Royal Gazette and Guiana Times we hove obtained some information beautifully illustrative of the boasted magnanimity of British forces in proteqting the poor African from his oppressors . We give the statement of the facts from English authority , and leave our readers to judge how appropriate is the boast , that ali 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 us about our alaves , evinces a degree of impudenco utterly beyond our powers to conceive . It appears that the Dutch Government schooner Henrietta Elizabeth , recently arrived in the river Demerara , Jk dim * *• . »« C *^~* - ~ . ~~ fnL _ ^ kT _ - _ Ti ^ # *« W f ~ t *\* Mmiij 9 i * srwfr
bringing with her , under the charge of Mr . W . R . Ingli 3 , secretary , &o ., a score or more ot Afrioans from Surinam . This strange arrival produced no little ^ astonishment among the good people of Demeraraj and upon inquiry it turned ortt that these poor wretches were the remains of a cargo of slaves taken in 1823 from a slaver named the Las Nievas ( the Snow ) which was captured at that time , and taken -into Paramaribo , Surinam , for adjudication before the mixed British and Dutch commission at that place . The Guiana Times says— " The slaves , then , some forty-nine in number , were « f course declared ^ for decency ' s sake , free . In spite of which , through the rapacity of the Dnteli 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 ot the code of Surinamuntil 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 the honesty and zeal of the present British Commissioner , . Mr . Schenley , who , however , living in the camp of the selfish and insidious enemy , i 3 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 . "
Dreadful Conflict with Pibatbs . —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 tbe pirates in the islands of Tannah , Djampea , and Kaloetoea , near Saleyer , with thirty large pirate vessels , taking forty piece 3 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 resistance , 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 our 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 6 ix-pounders . 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 gome debate , as it seems , haying kilted fhe women and thrown the bodies that were onboard into the sea , resolved 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 iu all probability , considering tbe great superiority of the pirates , would have ended to the disadvantage of the
steamer , so that the Hecla would have been captured and the « rew carried into slavery , or put to the sword , had not the captain , with extraordinary presence of mind , thought of using the fire engine to pour boiling water on the pirates . They , being quite naked , were burnt and scalded , and with fearful cries sought for safety or night , so that the captain , who had not been able to use either his guns or bis small arms , had cow 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 '* *" » n » or » * would have obtained a degree of power which might have had the most fatal oonnc-quc-aces lor coasliug vessels and merchantmen . —Dutch farter .
ABYSSINIA . —The Bombay Times announces the liberation of 7000 Christian slaves from galling bondage , at the intercession of Captain Harris , late Ambassador to Abyssinia , whilst hundreds of doomed Pagan prisoners taken in the bloody forays witnessed by the British embassy were set at lartje . This was not ali ; 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 British influence , j
XHDXA . —Overland Mail . —The revolution in the PnBJaub has been the principal tppJC 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 , Bhortly after met Mb death by being in turn slain . Heera Sing , the son of Dhyan Sing , has placed a suppositious son of Runjeet 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 Ellenboronrgh 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 OBce , do so . The Bengal troops ordered to Sinde , to relieve those of Bombay , have been countermanded , and are to remain for the present at Ferozepore . 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 ia believed hia assassination took place about the time of tbe first revolutionary outburst at Lahore .
News from Afghanistan has been received , which lead us to believe that Dost Mahommed is not des-, tined to retain very longtthe 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 un-Euccessful . . 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 tribes and people of Moulton . Should this occor , doubtless fchere Mahomed , who was captured at Sehwan , in June last , has arrived iu 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 Malwa , is dead . Intelligence has been received from Macao ( China ) to the 28 th of August , but it is of no importance in a DOlitical point of view . — Chronicle .

Brighton . —Encroachment op the Sea . — Since the late fatal accident , by the falling of the cliff at Rottingdean , other portions have given way ; and on Tuesday night , at Blackrook , close to Arundelterraoe , Kemp Town , several tons of earth fell , completely undermining the carriage-road , and threatening its entire destruction . It has been necessary to remove the palings into the middle of the road , leaving only sufficient room for one carriage to pass at a time . Numbers of the visitors are daily attraoted tp the spot to see the destruction mado to one of the best roada qut of Brighton . Measures are being taken for cutting a new road from Kemptown to Rottingdean more inland , as no means can be adopted to save the present road .
The Convict Stolzer . —This man has been removed , with seventy other convicts , to the Penitentiary at Milbank , under sentence of transportation for life . It has seldom happened that a convict in possession of soHnd intellect , as this man evidently was , has been known to manifest the confirmed apathy and dogged taciturnity which was displayed by btolzer , from the ! time of hid committal to Newgate for murder to the time of his removal . As his trial approached at the October Sessions he evinced no curiositv , and he , received the sentence of death passed on him with a sullen indifference ; and when
taken below he said , " It's no more than I expected . " During his confinement in the cells the sheriffs , as ia already 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 Newgato a few days before that appointed for his execution , and the fact was communicated , he did uot show any surprise or express any gratitude .
Awful Fjre and Loss of Life . —From a Second Edition of the Cheltenham Chronicle—We deeply regret to announce a most destructive fire attended by the losa of not less than seven lives , which dreadful calamity occurred on Wednesday morning , at Willersley , a small village near Evesham . It appears that in the course of the preceding day , a chimney in the house of Mr . Rimell , who rents a email farm at Willersley , caught fire and it was supposed that it was completely put out—but unfortunately such was not the caae , for about three on Thursday morning Mr . Rimell awoke and found the horse was on fire . ) , He immediately got out of the bed-room window , and brought a ladder , hoping to rescue his wife , eight children , and a poor woman from Weaton , who had been washing at Mr . RimeH ' s . 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 staircase , before it was rendered impassable by the flames . Mrs . Rimell might have been saved , but when her husband begged her to come down the ladder , she oxolaimed , "O , my poor children . " and returned into the room , when the Boor sank under them , and they were not seen again until dug out of the ruina mere cinders . The age of the oldest child burnt is nine years and a half—the youngest one year anda-half , Poor Rimell has lost all his clothes , furniture , and money . What adds to this melancholy event is thac the washer-woman was a widow , and has left eight unfortunate orphans to bewail her loss , f ( f the wealthy have hearts , surely this is a case that wilt call forth their active sympathies and induce them to attempt , so far as possible , to heal the wound ? caused by this dreadful calamity .

Alarshng 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 , Leicester-square . One of the inmates noticed a strong smell of fire in the locality of the tap-room , which is on 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 motion 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 superintendauce 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 . Winaor 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 fljor of the tap room . Another fire , which threatened the most serious consequences at its outbreak , was discovered shortly after noon yesterday , at tho 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 ol Mr . Henderson , in cutting 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 . i—It will be recollected by those who peruse the reports of the papers , that a postmaster in Lincolnshire , named John Nicholson , abstracted the halves 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 of the notes not having been transmitted , an investigation took place , and the pc-stjmaster was found guilty and sentenced to transportation . The convict was sent to Woolwich preparatory to tho terms of his sentence being carriei ' i ont , but his degraded situation had so great an effect upon his bodily health , that be pined away arjd died last week . On Thursday
an inquest was held npbn the body , as is the case upon the bod y of every convict . and the jury returned a verdict , " % 3 ied of low fever and debility . Dr . B 0886 y , ttte ^ ieal attendant on the convJofc , observed , they might , have eaid , " Died of & broken heart , " and ther ' a were many instances of similar cases amonger , the convictB . From conversations with several , convicts it would appear that many die of broke , heart and'spirUsvin consequence of their truly n » ° l * tnoholy BUuation , and it requires more than ordinw / : care on the part of their medical attendants , to r estore them to any degree of health , if once attacked by il ' ness , as the absence of hope , especially amongst those sentenced to transportation for life , causes them to sink on the first appearance of disease of any kind , and they Beldom recover , or , if the > are partially restored , it is only to relapse from the slightest circumstances , wmen would not in the least affeot persons in the enjoyment of liberty .

"—Scotch paper j A French Miser . —Several years ago , an old man named jDubuisson arrived at Font Audemer , in the Seine Inferieure , accompanied by his son . Taey were both withoot 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 continned to live , having
scarcely more than one dinner in two days , and apparently so ^ altogether destitute * that their neighbours frequently offered them charity . The old man was enthusiastically devoted to the memory of Napoleon , and , on the day of the transport of his remains to J * aris , he committed the extravagance of buying a pair of shoes for his son , that he might go and see the procession pass . This was the only pair ever seen on the feet of either father or son . In this abject state Dubuisson died , without medical assistance or other care . When , after his death , the great trunk was opened ; it was found to contain no less than 100 , 00 Of ., in gold and silver coin . — Galignani . i
Tom Steel ^ . —No one among the notabilities on the platform ; excited my attention to such a degree as the Tom Steela of newspaper notoriety , who is almost ot equal fame with O'Connell through all Ireland , as O'Connell ' s satellite , and Wb . 0 , 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 haai sacrificed his property . Tom Steele possesses as striking an appearance as one of Bardo ! ph ' s , Pistol ' s , and Nym ' s boon companions , or rather looks like what one could imagine' Corporal Bardolph himself to have been . He has the long and meagre figure of a corporal , and withal the fiery nose of Bardolph . The only difference is , that 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 one hears him speak , it is hard to understand how , except by expenditure of money , he has obtained aay influence and power with the people . It may be that the mm 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 Princej Harry for the bad company in which he finds him ( and I must say , that Tom s physiognomy , —judging only from his physiognomy , —was such as led me ] to wish I had not seen O'Connell in feis company , j He was , however , received with loud cheers , which ] he acknowledged , and then rook a seat by O'Connell . —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' eaoh day , two in the morning and one at night , making 35 , 040 cups of half-a-pint each , or nearly seventy barrels of thirty gallons each , weighing 17 , 5201 bs ., or nearly nine tons weight . Yet for that period I have scarcely varied myself in weight from KJOlbs . It will , therefore , be seen that I have drunk in coffee alone 218 times my own weight . I ami not much of a meat eater , yet £ presume I have { consumed about eight ounces a-day , which makes 5 , 806 lbs ., or about ten oxen . Of flour I have consumed , in tbe thirty-two years , about fifty barrels . For twenty years of this time , up to 1831 , I have drank two wine glasses of brandy each day ,
making 900 quarts . The port wine , madeira , whiaky , puuob , &ii , I am not able ; to count , but they are not large , i 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 , aud this not all consumed by me . When we take into the account all the vegetables jin addition , such as potatoes , peas , asparagus , strawberries , cherries , apples , pears , peaches , raisins , &c , tho amount consumed by an individual is most enormous . Now , my body has been renewed taore 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 KJOlbs . each , This is small when compared with the gormandizers .

Apprehension ot a Gang op Swindlebs at Liverpool . —On Friday , at the Police Court , a female , who gave her name as Mary Scholes , but whose cognomen was supposed to be a fictitious one , was placed beforo Mr . Rushton , charged with being concerned in a ? very extensive system of swindling . The prisoner had been before the Court the day previously , and was remanded until Friday , to afford an opportunity to make further inquiries . The police , with Mr . Dowling as their guide , then set to work to discover whether 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 public 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 * aud were sufficiently well attired to give them the appearance of a sort of faded gentility . They gave their names las 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 , bnt 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 , &c . 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 tho document an appearance of being beyond suspicion , the corporate seal and arms of the city of Cork were appended , and duly Bigned 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 > hes © documents , it appeared that the ramifications of the gang extended far and wide , comprising all the principal towns and cities in England , Ireland , and Scotland . Letters and documents , bearing the names of the most weaUhy aud influential persons connected with the different localities in which they had practised their frauds and deception , were found amongst these papers , and , if but a tithe of tho sums there stated were given , it proves that they must have lbng practised a successful course of villany . Some of the papers seized related to the town of Liverpool , Manchester , acd various places
in Cheshire . In jthese towns lists of all tho 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 cunning 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 a catalogue unparalleled even in this age of fraud , for it appeared by these that they had carried on their depredations in Cheltenham , Birmingham ,
Leamington , Nottingham , bhemeld , 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 Berwiek-upon-Tweed , HaddiDgtonshire , 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 in all parts of the country . The prisoners stand remanded . ; On Saturday and again on Monday the prisoners were further examined , aftd , on each occasion , evidence affecting them adduced . They were again remanded to this day ( Sa tnrday ) ,

Extraordinary Preservation of a Seaman . — On Sunday last , Charles Robb , aged sixty-four , a seaman residing in Ropery-lane , Snnderland , arrived at home , after having been castaway at sea , and beea four days alone in an open boat . He was one of the crew of the brig Jane Helen , Campbell , of London , which Bailed coal-laden from New Flamborough Head . On 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 which the mate was lost overboard . About 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 . Eobb was left in toe boat alone , and without food ,- and in this situation he remained for four days and three nights , whea he was picked up , about one hundred miles front 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 was put on board the Hospital Ship Dreadnought , and continued there several days . He was supplied with some clothes .
and with two shillings on leaving her . Robb then made his situation known at the office of the Shipwrecked Mariners' and Fishermen ' s Society ' , where he was relieved with an order of £ Vs worth of clothes , and five days' board and lodgings' at the Seamen's Home . He next stated the particulars of his case to Mr . G . H . Wawn , coal-fitter , of Coal Exchange , brother to J . T , Wawn , Esq ., M .

It appeared by the evidence that the mother had been aelivtred 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 Virginia-street Ratcliffe-highway , for the purpose of having them baptised . Oa 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 eont 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 wad nearly lifeless , and , upon being taken to a surgeon in the neighbourhood he expired in the shop . Mr .

Manchester Corn Market , Saturday Dec . 2 . — The trade since our last report : has undergone little or uo change ; the demand for both Flour , and Oatmeal , during the week , having continued moderately steady , and no disposition having been manifested to press sales , former prices were supported . There was only a limited amount of business transacted ia 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 ; bofc for inferior and low qualities there was no inquiry and the value of such must be considered nominal . On good , dry , heavy Oats we raise our quotations £ d . per 45 ibs . With a moderate demand for Oatmeal late prices were maintained , and , in some instances , rather succeeded for choice cuts .
