THE GOOD OLD PLOUGH . Xei them ring trho may of the battle fray , And the deeds that have long since past ; let them chant in praise of the tar whose days Are spent in the ocean fast ; I > ronld render to these an the -worship yon please , I "would honour them even now , Bat I'd giTB far more from my-heart ' j foil store To the cause of the Good Old Plough . - let them land the notes , that in music floats Through their bright and tear glittering halls ; While the amorous twirl of the hairs' bright curl Romd the shoulder of besmty falls . But , dearer to me is the song from the tree , And th 8 rich and blossoming bough ; Oh ! these are the sweets which the rustic greets As he follow * the Good Old Plough .
Then bow jocund toe song as it comes along From the ploughman ' s lusty throat ; Did the hunter ' s shoot ever jet give out To the brown woods a merrier note ? Though he follows so hound , yet his day is crown'd With a triumph as good I bow / As though antlered head at Ma feet lay dead , - Instead of the Good Old Plough . Pull many there be that we daily see Witha neiflrih and hollow pride , Whom the ploughman ' s lot in his humble cot With a scornful look deride . Yet I'd rather take , aye , a hearty shake Prom his hand than to "wealth I'd bow ; "For the honest grasp of that hand ' s rough clasp Hath Btood 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 Poi they * TB conquered the stubborn soiL And the chaplet each -wears are Ms silver hairs , And ne ' er shall the victor ' s brow With a laureled crown to the grave go down , lake these sons of the Good Old Plough .

A WORD IN SEASOW . BT CBABIXS DICKEKS . They have 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 , Shan help the finder throngh the purging flame , And give hia toasted feet a place to rest on . Accordingly they make a mighty fuss With every -wretched tract and fierce oration , And hoard the lea-res ; 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 seldom in their dust-exploring days , Have any leisure to look up to Heaven . So I have known a country en the earth , Where darkness sat upon the living vraters , A ""ft brutal ignorance , and toil , and dearth , Were the hard portion of its som and daughters ; And yet , where they "who should have oped the door Of charity 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 pious Turks God ' s living image ruthlessly defaces : Their best higfe churchman , -with no faith in -works , Bowstrings the Yirtues in the market-places . The Christian Pariah , whom both wets curse ,
( They curse all other men , and curse each other , ) Walks thro' the world , not ranch the worse—Does all the good he can , and loves his brother .

Germany— Pkogbkss op Commdkish . —FaANKfobt , Nov . 25 " . —The associations of the working classes for the purpose of introducing practically the ideas of socialism , or rather communism , * by means of revolutionary reform , become daily more frequent andmore dangerous .

James 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 Monitew publishes the following report , addressed by General Baraguay d'Hilliers to Marshal Bugeaod . It is dated Constantina , Nov . 4 : — ** In the province of Coastantina is a powerfnl tribe called the Sah&ri who inhabit the desert in winter , but in spring and Bnmmer eome down in the Shall 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 fettled tribes . This year they made the Smoulla their victims . Without any provocation , while the Gaid of the SmonUs -was absent "with Mb gonm , 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 depredations should be repressed , and the brigands punished , gave orders to Commandant Legrand , of the Spahis , to march against the Sahari and chastise them . One hundred and sixty ehaseurs , as many Sp&his and bodies from the different tribes ,
assembled by the Kalifa , pursned the Sahari , and overtook them at the defile of Batena . Aware of onr coining , 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 rain , but only to punish , I have Bent to make known to them that I will restore their camels if they will come in and petition for the Am an . 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 Algier 3 , one a letter addressed by General Tempoure to Marshal Bngeand 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 Tempoure pursued » he rest of the army , but by the last account had not over taken them . On the 25 ih of October , General Silleque took the town of Boussada , which he considered the key of the desert , as regards trade , without firing a shot . BouFsada 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 pOO persons .
Aw Afteat in New Zealand . —The Sydney Serald of the 15 th . 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 : — " Ranpero , a chief , had interfered with the proceedings of a party of surveyors belonging to Nelson , who were setting ont ' 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 tbeir 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 ic 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 nninber of about eighty , exhibited their fire-arms , and showed by gesticulations their small inclination to submit to the surrenderiof the parties required . The interpreter , who it is presumed was Mr . Tuckett , with the Company ' s agent , then retired to the persons 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 . 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 acconnte 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 were killed Ucon the arrival of the brig at Wellington , a meeting of tie 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 ^ ays landed them : and two or three personB , at the latest dateB , had gone ashore to make inquiries , and treat with th * «***«» . " A meeting of the inhabitants of
Wellington was held on the 27 th of Jnne , to urge upon the Government at Auckland , the-Governor of New South Wales , and the Secretary of State himself , the necessity of affording military protection to the residents at Cook ' s Straits . The Sydney papers regard the present outbreak as exceedingly alarming , and beg the attention of the home Government to it . From other facts disclosed by the present arrival , it sesms the natives have not the most friendly feeiicg 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 if the parties applied to refused . From Auckland the date is as late as the 17 th June .

A Strakbb Stosy—The New York Courier and Inquirer says , that from recent dates of the Royal GaseUe and Guiana Times we -have obtained bOnpte information beautifully illustrative of the boasted magnanimity of British forces in protecting 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 all men , once under the shadow of the English flag . arefree . With facts like these staringthemin the face , how England has the assnrance to prate to us about our slaves , evinces a degree of impudenco utterly beyond our powers to conceive . It appears that the Patch Government schoener Henrietta Elizabeth , recently arrived in the river Demerara ,
bringing with her , under the charge of Mr . W . R . Inglis , secretary , &C , a Bcore or more of Africana from Surinam . This strange arrival produced no little ) astonishment among the good people of Damerara , and upon inquiry it turned onfc that these poor wretches were the remains of a cargo of Blaves taken in 1823 from a slaver named the Las Nievas ( the Snow ) whion was captured at that time , and taken ; in to 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 of course declared , for decency ' s sake , free . In spite of wnich , through the rapacity of the Dutch 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 merbies 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 1 From all the horrors of such a Blavery 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 ar id zsal of the present British Commis sioner , 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 dona fide free Negroes exposed to the torments from which the twenty-six have so happily escaped . "
Dreadful Coffuct with Piiutks . —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 Tannab , 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 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 , witn 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 six-pounders . The other pirate vessel fled , favoured by the approach of night and a high wind . We have to regret the Iobb 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 peems , having killed the women and thrown the bodies that were on board 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 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 pre-Bffnce of mind , thought of using the fire engine to pour boiling water on the pirates . Thty . being quite naked , were burnt and Bcalded , and with fearful cries sought for sifety 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 hie 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 ' tf steamer , they would have obtained a degree of power which might have had the most fatal consequences for coasting vessels ana merchantmen ,. —Dutch Paper .
ABYSSINIA . —Tha Bombay Times announces the liberation of 7000 Christian slaves from galling bondage , at the intercession of Captain Harris , late Ambassador to AbysBinia , whilst hundreds of doomed Pagaa-prisoners taken in the bloody forays witnessed by the British embassy were set at large . This waa 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 British influence .
IMSIA . —Ovebland Mail . —The revolution in the Pasjaub 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 Runjeet Sing , a boy of eix or seven years of age , upon the throne , and himself occupies the post of Prime Minister . It is not known whether Lord Ellenborourgh will interfere , though reports of the immediate assemblage , on the Sikh frontier , of
an army consisting of from 30 , 000 to 36 . 000 mep , tend to induce a pretty general belief that he will eventually , if not at osce , do so . The Bengal troops ordered to Sinde , to relieve those of Bombay , have been countermanded , and aro 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 is believed his assassination took place about the time of the first revolutionary outburst at Lahore .
News from Afghanistan has been received , which lead us to believe that Dost Mahommed is not destined to retain very longlthe reins of authority at CabuJ . He has become exceedingly unpopular , many of his snbjects 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 . Fiom 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 occur , doubtless Shere 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 th of August , but it is of no importance in a political point of view . —Chronicle .

* U f . 5 * V—SW ?« OACHMBWT OF THE SEA . — Since the ate fatal accident , by the falling of the cliff at Kotmgdean , other portions have given way ; and on Tuesday night , at Blackrock , close to Arundeltarrace 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 tune . Numbers of the visitors are daily attracted to the spot to see the destruction mado to one of the best roads out of Brighton . Measures are being taken for cutting a new road from Kemptown to Rottingdeaa more inland , as no means can be adopted to save the present road .
The Convict Stolzeu . —This man has been removed , with seventy other convicts , to the Peaitentiary at Milbank , under sentence of transportation lor lite . It has seldom happened that a convict in possession of soand intellect , as this man evidently was , has been known to manifest the confirmed apathy and dogged taciturnity which waa displayed by ^ btolzer . from the time of his oommittal to Newgate for murder to the time of hia removal . As his trial approached at the Ootober Sessions he evinced no curiosity , 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 1 expected ;" During his confinement in the cells the sheriffs , as is already known , msd a 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 , he did not show any surprise 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 , j ^ small village near Evesham . It appears that in the course of the preceding day , a chimney in the house of Mr . RimeU , who renta 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 ou 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 Weston , who had been Washing at Mr . Rimell ' 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 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 ohild burnt is nine years and a half—the youngest one year and a-half . Poor Rimell has lost all hia 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 . f . ( f the wealthy have hearts , surely this is a case that will call forth their active sympathies and induce them to attempt , so far as possible , to heal the wounds caused by this dreadful calamity .

" 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 ceuts . per week . My being so chargeable to you has given me great uneasiness—for heaven knowa what it may cost yon in the end ; therefore what I would propose is this —you shaU let mo out of-gaol , and allow me one dollar a week , and let the 25 cents , go towards discharging the debt .

Alarming Fikes . —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 drj 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 ( he superintendance 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 , whioh threatened the most serious consequences at its outbreak , was discovered shortly after noon yesterday , at the private residence of G . Cook , Esq ., Montpeiier Row , Lambeth . The fire originated in afoul Sue ; 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 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 .
D ^ ath 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 halves of several bank-notes from a letter , and , with the view of rendering them available , transmitted them to Messrs . Cox and Savory , CorbilL , 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 postmaster was found guilty and sentenced to transportation . The conviot was sent to Woolwich preparatory to the terms of his sentence being carried ofrt , 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 heJ . d 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 . " Dr , Bossey , medic ? j attendant on the conviot , observed , they might hy . ve said , " Died of a broken heart , " and there vere many instances of similar oases amongst th . e convicts . . From conversations with several convicts it would ; appear that many die of broken b / jartand spirits , in consequence of their truly melancholy Bituation , and it requires more than ordinary ctfVe on the part of their medical attendants , to restore them to any degree of health , if ones att » , < , fced by ii ' ness , as the absence of hope , especially amongst those sentenced to transportation for 1 ' ife , causes them to sink on the first 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 sot in the least affect persons in the enjoyment Qf liberty .

A French Misbb . —Several years ago , an old man named Dubuissdn arrived at Pont Audemer , in the Seine Inferieuro , 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 Borne old pieces of broken ironwork . In this istate 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 , son the day of the transport of his remains to Paris , he committed the extravagance of buying a pair of shoes for his sod , that he might go and see the procession pass . This was the only pair ever seen on the feet of either father or son . la this abject state Dabuisson died , without medical assistance orjother care . When , after his death , the great trunk was opened ; it was found to contain no less than 100 , 000 f ., in gold and silver coin . — Galignani .
Tom Steele .-tNo one among the notabilities on the platform excited my attention to such a degree as the Tom Steele of newspaper notoriety , wbo is almost of equal : fame with O'Connell through all Ireland , as O'Connell ' e 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 appearance as one of Bardolph' 8 , 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 b y 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 eo much is certain , that I have not exaggerated in the least in my description . Falstatt blames Prince Harry for the bad company in which be 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 his company . He was , however , received with load cheers , which he acknowledged , and then took a seat by O'Conneil . —Kohl ' s Travels in Ireland .
Queer Calculation . —Some singular geDius has perpetrated the jfollowing 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-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 IGOlbs . 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 two wine glasses of brandy each day ,
making 900 quirts . The port Wine , madeira , whisky , punch , &c , I am not able 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 . When we take into the account all the vegetables in addition , such as potatoes , peas , asparagus , strawberries , cherries , apples , pears , peaches , raisins , &c , the amount consnxned by an individual is most enormouH . 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 ifiOibs . each , This is small when compared with the gormandizers . "
Apprehension : of a Gang of Swindlers at Liverpool . —Oa , Friday , at the Police Court , a female , who gave her name as Mary Scholea , but whose cognomen was supposed to be a fictitious one , was placed before Mr . Rush ton , 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 j had been for a long tine 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-Btreet , on Thursday night . All the prisoners were of respectable exterior , the females being rather good-looking and genteel , and were sufficiently well attired to give them , the appearance of a sort j 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 Sohbles . there was good reason to suppose , was the wife of
the prisoner Neil , bat there was not evidence at present sufficient toi 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 ef 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 j 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 j has rarely met with a parallel . From these documents , it appeared that the ramifications of the gang extended far land 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 whioh they had practised their frauds and deception , were found amongst these papers , and , if but 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 , and 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 laud victimised ; and to show the diligence as well as the cunning exercised by these adeptB 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 oaiefully 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 , Sheffield , and Newcastle , in this cpantry , and had also practised to a great extent in Ireland . la Scotland , their operations had extended to most of tha counties and towns therein , comprising Berwick-upon-Tweed , Haddingtonshire , I Roxburghshire , Dumfriesshire , Kirkcudbrightshire , Fifeshire , and Forfarshire Some of the forged certificates bore the name of the Lord Primate j of Ireland , th& Bishops Of Kilmore , Cashel , and Clogber Lord OTNiel , Lord Downshire , in Ireland , and other prominent individuals in all partB of the country . The prisoners stand remanded . | Oa Saturday sad again on Mo ' aday the prisoners jwere further examined , and , on each otoasion , evidence affecting them adduced . They were againJremanded to this day ( S&tarday ) .

EXTBAOEDINABT PRESERVATION OF A SEAMAN . — On Sunday last , Charles Robb , aged sixty-four , & seaman residing in Ropery-lane , Sunderland , arrived at home , after having been cast away at 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 Flamboreugh Head . Ou the 27 th , a violent storm came on , and the vessel became very leaky and unma . uaRea . ble . The crew considered her to be in a sinking Btate . and the long-boat was got out ; in doing which the mate was lost overboard . About an hour afterwards the j came up with the schooner Mary , of North Shields , from Hamburg ; a short bass rope was thrown front
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 boafc the vessel Was driven off , the rope broke , and tha 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 mile 3 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 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 &l ' s : worth , of clothes , and five days' board and lodgings at the Seamen ' s Home .

George ' s in-the-East , on the body of a child named Charles Robinson , three weeks old , twin child of Henry Charles Robinson , a sailor .

George's Workhouse , and on Thursday morning last , both of them being in good health , she proceeded with her mother to the CatholiO chapel in Yirginnustreet , Ratcliffe-highway , for the purpose of having them baptised .

an hour , there being no place appointed -jn 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 .

Manchester Corn Market , Saturday Dec . 2 . — The trade since our last report has undergone little or no change ; the demand for both Floor and Oatmeal , daring the week , having continued moderately steady , and no disposition having been manifested to pres 3 sales , former prices were supported . There was only a limited amount of business transacted in Wheat at our market this morning ; but the sales made vrero at fully the currency of this day week . The best descriptions of English and Irish Floor met a tolerably heavy sale , at previous rates ; but for inferior and low qualities there was no inquiry and the value of euch must be considered nominal . On good , dry , heavy Oats we raise our quotations ^ d , per 451 ba . With a moderate demand for Oatmeal late prices were maintained , and , in some instances , rather succeeded for choice cuts .
