      THE GOOD OLD PLOUGH . Let them sing - who may of the battle fray , And the deeds that hare long since past ; I / et them chant in praise of tie tar whose days Are spent in the ocean tss * ; I -would reader to these all the -worship yon please I -would honour them evennoie , But I'd glTe f&x mare from my heart ' s fuB store To the cause of the Good Old Plough , Let them land the notes , that la music floats Through their "blight sad thsir glittering halls ; While tie amorous twirl of the hairs' bright aid Bonnd the shoulder of beauty falls . But , dearer to me is the song from the tree , And the rich and blossoming Dough ; . Oh I these are the sweets -which the rustic greets As he follows the Good Old Plough .

      Then bow jocund the song as it comes along From the ploughman's lusty throat ; ~ Did the hunter ' s shout ere ? yet give out To the brown -woods a merrier note ? Tfiongh he follows no hound , yet his day is ero wa'd With a triumph as good I trow , As though an tiered head at bis feet lay dead , Instead of the Good Old Plough . ynll many there oe that we dally see With a selfish and ioUotr pride , Whom the ploughman ' s lot in Ma bumble cot With a scornful look deride . Yet I'd rather take , aye , a hearty shake Prom his band than to wealth I'd bow ; Tor the honest grasp of that hand ' s rough clasp Hath stood by the Good Old Plough .

      AH honour be then to these grey old men , When at last they are bo-w'd "with toil ; Their warfare then o ' er , -why they battle no more For they ' ve conquered the BVnfeboro son . And the ehsplet each wears are his silTer hairs , And ne ' er shall the tietortfbrow With a laureled crows te the grave go down , lake these sons of the Good Old Plough . Hesbt Moojr Doneistsr .

      FRANCE . —ie Siede contains an article on French commerce , deduced from the official returns just published by Government , by which it appears that the foreign trade of Prance has diminished considerably .

      ALGIERS . —The Moniteur pnblishes the following report , addressed by General Baraguay d'Hilliers to Marshal Sngeaud . It is dated C ' onstantina , Nov . 4 :-** In the provinceof CoBStantina is a powerful tribe called the Sahari who inhabit the desert in winter , but in spring and summer come down in the Sh&k » nd the Tel ] , where they pasture a great man ; cattle . The Safari 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 Caid of the Smoulls was absent with his

      goum , gathering ia the taxes from the Segnias , the Sahari invaded the tribe , killed many of them , and carried off one hundred eameis . I could not abandon the submissive tribes , and as it was quite time that these depredations should bo repressed , and the brigands punished , gave orderB to Commandant Le-£ rand , of the Spabis , to march against the Sahari and chastise them . One hundred and sixty chaseurs , as many Sp&his 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 Btont resistance . At first they beat back tho 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 . Thosa were all brought to Constantina . My intention being , not to ruin , bnt only to punish , I have sent to make known 4 o 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 with severity we shall , vo doubt , impress them with a deep idea of our strength and power /'

No trace of Roman mine is found in it . Aecordipg to tradition it was built in tne fifth century of the hegyra . It has a population of about 4 , 500 persons .

      Am Affbat in New Zealaxp . —The Sydney Herald of the 13 th of July , gives late intelligence from New Zealand , according to which a coiifiict had taken place between the English and the natives at Cloudy Bay . The particulars are as follows : — Ranpero , a chief , had interfered with the p roceedinga of a party of surveyors belonging to Nelson , who were setting out * country seotiona' 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 hnlB , 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 Mb work of destruction . Having made known the object of their visit through the medium of an interpreter , the natives , who h&d assembled to the number of about eighty , exhibited their fire-arms , and Bhowed by gesticulations their small inclination to submit to the surrenderfof the parties re quired . The interpreter , who it is presumed was Mr . Tuckett , with the Company ' s agent , then retired to , the persons in the rear , for the pnrpose of bringing them np to "ihe spot , but in the mean time the report of a musket was beard , and he saw that they had been attacked by the natives , who kept up a rnnning 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 thebng which took them to CloudyBay . From the accounts published it cannot be gathered how many Euro ; peans remained with the natives j but it is stated that three of the former and four of the latter wsre killed . Upon the arrival of theirig ^ t '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 brigtook the company appointed , and after a cruise of two dayB landed them ; and two or three personB , at the latest dates , had eone ashore to make inquiries , and ^ treat with the natives . " A meeting of the inhabitants of Weilimrton was held on the 27 th of Jnne , to urge upon

      fee Government at Auckland , the governor oi new South Wales , and the Secretary of State himself , the necessity of affording military protection to the residentB at Cook ' s Straits . The Sydney papers regard ? hfpre «^ o » ibreak a » exceedingly alarming , and beg the attention of the home Government . to it . From other facts disclosed 1 > y the present arrival , it seemB 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 qniteprepared to enforce their demands « theparties applied to refnsed . From Auckland the date is as late as the 17 th Jane .

      A Strange Stobt—The New York Courier and Inquirer says , that from recent dates of the Royal Gaxette&nd Guiana Times we have obtained tome 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 bow 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 us about our slaves , evinces a degree ot impadenco utterly beyond onr powers to conceive . It appears that the Dutch Government echoener Henrietta Elizabeth , recently arrived in the river Demerara ,

      bringing with her , under the charge of Mr . W , B . Inglis , secretary , &c a score or more of Africans from Surinam . This strange arrival produced no little i astonishment among the good people of Demerara , and upon inquiry it turned out 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— "Theslaves , then , some forty-nine in number , were of course declared , for decency ' s sake , free . In spite of wliioh , through the rapacity of the Batch Government , and tho criminality of the British Commissioner , they remained twenty long years in bondage , snbjeot to the lash , the Spanish buck , and all the other tender mercies of 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 Commia ; sioner , 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 Statej but mostly , we have reason to think , through the honesty and Z 3 al 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 id supported by the Home Government , must necessarily give up his commendable undertaking , although there are several hundreds of bonafide free Negroes exposod to the torments from which the twenty-bix have so happily escaped . "

      Dkeadftjl Coi * flictwith PiftATKS . —By the latest accounts received from ; Java , the expedition against the pirates , commanded by Captain J . T . A . Coerfczsn , 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 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 ia said to have had a crew of one hundred and fifty men , fell into our bands , with thirty-seven slaves , among whom were eight women , five children , and five of the pirates , one of whom was tho 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 fied up tho country . These two vessels were well provided with guns . The largest bad thirteen mounted , tWO of

      which were six-pounders . The other pirate vessel fied , 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 onr people thought they were rid of them ; when , after some debate , as it seems , 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 , wonld have ended to the disadvantage of the

      steamer , so that the Hecla would have been captured § nd the erew carried into slavery , ot 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 . beiDg quite naked , were burnt and scalded , and with fearful cries sought for Brfety or flight , so that the captain , who had not been able to use either his guns or bis small arms , had now the opportunity of completing , by his fire , the destruction of the flying pirates and . their vessels . PersonB 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 for coasting vessels and merchantmen . —Dutch Paper *

      ABTS 81 KI A . —The Bombay Times announces the liberation of 7000 Christian slaves from galling bondage , at the intercession of Captain Harris , late AmbHeBador to Abyssinia , whilst hundreds of doomed Pagan prisoners taken in the bloody forays witnessed by the British embassy were set at large . This was iol 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 .

      Inpza . —Ovebiakd Mail . —The revolution in the PuBjauh 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 suppoaitious son of Rnnjeet 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 Ellenborourgh 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 eventnally , if not at oace , do so . The Bengal troops ordered to Sinde , to relieve those of Bombay , have been countermanded , and arc to remain for the present at Ferozepore , The •* Army of Exercise , " however , it would appear is still to be assembled on the Jamna . What this force is to be nobody positively knows , though it is surmised it ' . s 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 Itho reins of authority at Cabal . 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 Kurraohee 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 seem 3 doubtful whether we shall take measures for its pacification . Hurree Holkar , the ruler of Maiwa , is dead .

This same property baa been long held by Earl Howe , In consequence of the inability of the parties to make any title to the same ; but it is now conceived that his lordship will , upon a pedigree being produced , and the title ot the belr-at-law established ( who , we bear , resides in Nottingham ) , readily relinquish the possession .

The Convict Stolzer . —This man has been removed , with seventy other convicts , to the Penitentiary at Milbank , under sentence of transportation

      ior ute . it has seldom happened that . a convict in possession of sound 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 his committal to Newgate for murder to the time of his removal . As his trial approached at tne October Sessions he evinced no curiosity , and he reoeivwl 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 is

      already knows , mads 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 .

      Awful Fibe 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 Willereley , a small village near JSvesham . 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 Bupposed that it was completely put out—but unfortunately such was not the case , for about three on Thursday morning Mr . Rimsll awoke and found ihe 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 Weston j who had been washing at Mr . Rinaell ' 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 a ^ e 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 , f if the wealthy have hearts , surely this is a case that will call forth their active sympathies and induce them to attempt , bo far as possible , to heal the woirads caused by this dreadful calamity .

The creditor called upon him to hear it .

My being so chargeable to you has given me great uneasiness—for heaven knows what it may cost ; yon in the end ; therefore' what I would propose 18 tfllB —you shall let mo out of « aoi , and allow me one dollar a week , and let the 25 cents , go towards discharging the debt .

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

Latterly she was in such a depressed state of mind , that Witness thought she would turn melancholy . She wfts 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 girt . He saw her last alive about two hours before she was found in the canal .

      Alakming Fihes . —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 melcing , and the inoltou metal was running upon the ground in a burning stream . Five brigade engines , under the direction of Mr . Fogo , of the KAng-str « et station , having arrived shortly after the outbreak , and a powerful one from the County depot , under the superintendance of Mr . Carter , the whole of which were well supplied with water , the

      fury of the fire was soon subdued , bnt not before considerable damage was done . Mr . Winsor is inured 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 toom . 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 ., Moutpelier 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 oi 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 .

      Death ot a Convic * . —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 aqd 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 , aud the other halves of the notes not having been transmitted , au investigation took place , and the postmaster -was found guilty and sentenced to transportation . The convict was sent to Woolwich preparatory to the terms of his sentence being carried ont , but his degraded situation had so great an effect upon hia bodily health , that he p ined 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 . " Dr . Bossey , medical attendant on the convict , observed , they might have said , "Died of a broken heart , " and there were many instances of similar cases amongst the convicts . From conversations with several convicts it would appear that many , die of broken heart and spirits , in consequence of iheir truly melancholy situation » and it requiresmore thaacrdinary care on the part of their medical attendants , to restore them to any degree of heaHb , 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 firsts appearance of disease of any kind , and they seldom recover , or , if they i 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 French Miser . —Several years ago , an old man named Dubuisson arrived at Pont Audemer , in the Seine Iuferieure , 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 jthis state they con tinned to Ihe , 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 dovoted to the memory of Napoleon , and , on the day of the transport of his remains to Paris , he committed the extravagance of buying a pair of Btaoes for his son , that he might go and see the prooession 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 truak was opened ; it was found to contain no less than 100 , 000 f ., in gold and silver coin . — Galignani . 1

      Tom Steelh . —No one among the notabilities on the platform excited my attention to such a degree as the TomlSteele of newspaper notoriety , who is almost of equal fame with O'Connell through all Ireland , as jO'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 1 was informed , spent no inconsiderable fortune , entirely ia agitating . He is now poor , and appears more than ever devoted to the cause for which he h ^ B sacrificed bis property . Tom ' Steele possesses as striking an appearanoe as one of Bardolph ' s , Pistol ' s , and Nynm ' s boon companions , or rather looksjlike 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 bis

      faoe appears , at any rate , now , more care-worn and melancholy than that of Bardolph . I need hardly say , that he j has the manner of a man without education , and when one hears him speak , it is hard to understand bow , 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 bo 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 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'CoimeU . —Kohl ' s Travels in Ireland .

      Queer Cai . culation . —Some singular genius has perpetrated the following calculations : — " I have been marriedl 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 1601 bs . It will , therefore , be" seen that I have drunk in coffee alone 213 times my own Weight . I am not much of a meat eater , yet I presume I have consumed about eigki ounces a-day , which make 8 l 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 dranktwo wine 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 j In champagne I have been extremely moderate , as il find from my bills that I have paid for fifty three baskets iu the last thirteen years , which is about one bottle a-week , and this not all consumed by me . When we take into theaccount all the vegetables in addition , such as 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 ia 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 . ] eacb , This id small when compared with the gormandizers .

      ApPftEHENSlON OF A GaNG OF SWINDLBES AT Liverpool . —On Friday , at the Police Court , a female , who ^ ave her Dame as Mary Scholes , but whose cognomen was supposed to be a fictitious one , was placed before 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 remand ed 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 ia 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 rlooking and genteel , and were sufficiently well attired to give them the appearance of a sort of faded gentility . They gave their names j as John Neil , Andrew Craig , and Betsy Craiig , 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 Oi

      the prisoner Neil , but there wjw not evidence at prfr sent sufficient j to establish that fact . They all resided together , and appeared to have s 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 oity . To give the document an appearanoe 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 'hese documents , it appeared that the ramifioations Of the ! gang extended far 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 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 towna lists of all the wealthy individuals , particularly those having the character of being humane land 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 .

      fer it appeared by these that the ; had carried on their depredations in Cheltenham , Birmingham , Leamington , Nottingham , 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 Berwiok-opon-Tweed , Haddingtonshirej Roxburghshire , Dumfriesshire , Kirkcudbrightshire , Fifesbire , and Forfarshire . Some of the forged oettificates bore the name of the Lord Primate of Ireland , the Bishops of Kiimore , 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 farther examined , and , on each occasion , evidence affecting them adduced . They were again remanded to this day ( Saturday ) ,

      Extraordinary Preservation of a Seaman . — On Sunday last , Charles Robb , aged sixty-four , * seaman residing in Ropery-lane , Suoderland , arrived at home , after having been cast away at sea , and been four days alone in an . open boat . He was ontii of the crew of the brig Jane Helen , Campbell , of London , which sailed coal-laden from New FLombarangh 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 oat ; 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 . 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 Loadon . 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 £ Vb 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 tho mother had been delivered of twins inSfc . 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 , RatolinVhighway , for the pnrpose of having them baptised .

      an hour , there being no place appointed m 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 .

There was only a limited amount of business transacted in Wheat at our market this morning ; but the sale 3 made were at folly the currency of this , day week .
