Dr. Praissos.—This eminent physician, celebrated chemist, and amiable though singular

individual, died at his house in Hanover-square, on Sunday evening from accident. Notwithstanding his great age (we believe nearer 80 than 70), Dr. Pearson was indefatigable in the pursuit of study, and sat up every night later than any person of his family. On Saturday night he remained, as usual, the last up ; and is supposed to have made an attempt to go to bed, which unfortunately had a fatal termination. When the footboy got up and came down early on Sunday morning, he found his master's can- dlestick and the extinguisher, at the top of tha first flight of stairs, and on going down lower he heard a loud breathing. which alarmed him so much that he ran back to the attics for a fellow-servant, with whom he returned to ascertain the cause. On reaching the bottom, they discovered their unfortu- nate master on the ground at the entrance of the hall, breathing still heavily, but senseless, and with a large wound on his head, the scalp being half raised, and a great quantity of blood having flowed. He was taken up im- mediately to his bed, and medical aid procured ; and we understand that in the course of the day he recovered his consciousness, but expired towards the evening. It is supposed that he fell backwards on reaching the top of the first flight of stairs, and rolled down to the bottom without being able to call for help, or without the noise of his fall being heard, Dr. Pearson being Senior Physician of St. George's Hospital at the time of his decease, a va- cancy is thus created, which will give birth to many pretensions and a great conflict of interests.—Courier.

MR. THOMAS BEAVICK.—This celebrated wood engraver, died on the8th cur- rent at Gateshead in the county of Durham. Mr. Bewick was apprenticed to Mr. Beilby, of Newcastle, engraver. Though he had never received in- structions in drawing, he was employed by his master in copying Copeland's Heraldic Ornaments. At this time his master undertook to cut on wood the diagrams for Hutton's Mensuration: and Bewick engaged in the enterprise with that feeling of enthusiasm that led to a revival of the art of wood en- graving. In his experiments, he discovered that wood was well adapted to express the freedom and spirit that ought tocharacterise portraits of animated beings. He had a peculiar pleasure in making his own tools, which were ingenious and effective. Many of them are little known to his brother artists. In 1775, he received a premium from the Society of Arts, for the "Old Hound," being a block for an edition of the Fables. In 1777, he entered into partnership with his former master, Mr. Beilby. Their first great work, the History of Quadrupeds, published in 1790, raised the art of wood en- graving into high estimation, which subsequent works by this artistconfirmed. The last etfort of Mr. Bewick's graver is afigure of an old worn-out draught horse, on a block of large size, intended as one of a series of posthumous publications, showing the various stages in the life of a horse—the block was only proved last Tuesday, as a necessary prelude to the finishing touches of its able author.—Neweastle Paper.

MORTALITY AT SIERRA-LEONE.—AllOthCF victim, another governor, and several of his suite,. have perished in that infamous swamp of pestilence and iniquity. We have before us a letter dated Sierra Leone, August 19. Lieut.- Governor Lumley is dead, so is Ensign Gordon of his staff, and the Governor's white servant is not expected to recover. The Governor and his whole staff was struck clown by the pestilence at one fell swoop. Brigade Major Frazer and Lieut. 11I'Leon have recovered. A relation of the late Granville Sharpe's had come out as Paymaster—horror struck at what he saw, and, trembling for his life, he in two days after landing, insisted on being sent back to England. Dr. Clark and Dr. Foulis are both laid up. The mortality even amongst the black inhabitants, says the letter, is "frightful." The burying-grounds are evening and morning filled with victims ! Need we add more ? We have not revealed all the horrors; but amidst death we cannot dwell on iniquity —Glasgow Courier.

Official despatches were received by Government on Wednesday, an- nouncing the death of this officer on the 2nd of August. The settlement at Cape Coast Castle is now to be governed by a corn mittee of three merchants.

TRAVELS AND DEATH OF MR. JAMES WEBSTER.—ARIOng the ardent and enthusiastic men of genius whose lives have been cut short in the acquisition of knowledge in the deserts of Asia and Africa, has to be numbered Mr. James Webster, fifth son of the late Rev. John Webster, of Inverarity, in Forfarshire. This gentleman received his education at St. Andrew's and Edinburgh, and he left both these seats of learning with the reputation of an accomplished scholar. As he was destined for the English bar, he entered himself of the Inner Temple ; but before commencing his professional career, he resolved to devote a few years to the improvement of his mind by travel- ling. In the last: number of the Foreign. Review, there are two of Mr. Webster's letters ; and from these, and a letter addressed by Mr. Newn ham, his more fortunate fellow-traveller, to his hro'.r•er in London, we glean a few facts connected with the brief career of this enterprising and now lamented young gentleman. He visited the Crimea. He was in Constantinople when the news of the battle of Navarino reached that city ; and though Chris- tians were held to be obnoxious in the eyes of the Turks at that irritating period, he experienced nothing but hospitality aud politeness from them. Mr. Webster subsequently visited Smyrna and Alexandria ; and explored the antiquities of Upper Egypt, of which he speaks with enthusiasm, as far sur- passing in extent, variety, and preservation, the antiquities of Italy. "The single Temple of Canute," he says, " would contain within its circuit the antiquities of Italy, Colisseum and all." The great desire of the young tra- veller was to visit Jerusalem ; but this he could not accomplish at the date of his last letter, the 3rd of July, as the plague was making fatal progress in Syria. To pass the time till a more favourable season offered, Mr, Webster projected an excursion to Sinai, traversing the route which the Jews took in their passage from Egypt, with a Bible for a guide-book. Mr. Newnham attempted to dissuade him from the undertaking. Mr. Webster answered- " To you, perhaps, this journey holds out but little interest ; but to me who have destined myself for the profession of the bar, it is otherwise. If I could stand on the top of Sinai,—on the spot where the Commandments were given, which are, as it were, the fountains of all law,—it would be what I should remember with satisfaction all my life." His friend accompanied him ; they visited the places mentioned in the Bible, and his ardent wish was accomplished. The fatigues he endured in the burning desert, how- ever, brought on a fever ; and on the 1st of August last, three days after he had returned to Cairo, he died, in his twenty-sixth year. He was buried in the Greek burying-ground, without the city walls ; and a plain monument, raised by his friend, marks the place of his sepulture.

Tire Foes.—The fogs in London and its neighbourhood, on Tuesday and Wednesday, have seldom been exceeded in opacity. In the City, all the bankers, offices, and principal shops, were obliged to have lights. To see with any distinctness further than across the street, was impossible ; all the narrow lanes, beyond the perspective of a few yards, were in a state of abso- lute darkness ; and in the great thoroughfares, the helloing of coachmen and drivers, to avoid each other, seemingly issuing from the opaque mass in which they were enveloped, was calculated to awake all the caution of riders, as well as of pedestrians who had to cross the streets. On the Thames, as on land, the tendency which fog has to enlarge distant objects, was strikingly illustrated : vessels of all kinds seemed magnified to thrice their usual dimensions : St. Paul's looked prodigious through the mist, though neither that nor the Monument were visible above the height of the houses. Besides the inconvenience to travellers, not a few serious accidents occurred. A coach was overturned near the Mansion-house, and several persons were hurt. In the City-road, the wheels of a van came in contact with a post, and pitched a man who was sitting in the vehicle on his head. The Bishop of London was in some danger on Wednesday evening, while proceeding along Brompton, on his way to Fulham. The carriage of the Hon. Colonel Mangin, of Petersham, in which were two ladies, got upon the bank at the side of the road at Brompton, by which it was nearly overturned ; but none of the party were hurt. As Mr. Rust, a solicitor, residing at Ful- ham, with his wife and family, were proceeding home in a hackney-coach, it. upset at Buckingham-terrace, a short distance from Fulham, and the coach- man was thrown from his bux, and had one of his arms broken. Mr. Rust lost a portmanteau, containing some law documents, wearing apparel, and trinkets. A hackney-coach came in contact with the iron railings of the area in the eastern wing of St. George's Hospital, with such violence that a por- tion of the fence and stone work was broken down, and one of the horses was killed. Ruthven, the officer of Bow-street, was driving a chaise as well as he could in the darkness, when he drove into a ditch, and was thrown out, and severely bruised. A barge with two men was going down the river, when it struck against Battersea-bridge, and by the shock cast one man into the water, and as no assistance could be afforded him, he was drowned. Several other accidents, of a less serious nature, occurred on the Thames. Thomas Folkes, a young butcher, was proceeding along Grosvenor-place, when his foot slipped off the curb-stone, and he fell on his left side. He had a butcher's knife unsheathed, slung in a belt loosely round his waist, the blade of which entered through his ribs, just below his heart. His cries and groans soon brought assistance. The knife, which was sticking in his side, up to the handle, was drawn out, and the poor fellow conveyed to Westminster Infir- mary. An old man was knocked down by a cart in the Broadway, West- minster, and was carried off insensible. Several persons are supposed 'to have fallen into the Serpentine river and the Thames.

On Monday morning, Jemima Lacy, an aged wortgan, left her house in St. Mary-Axe, for the purpose of seeing the civic procession, observing to a friend, that she had known the Lord Mayor since he was a child, and as she was getting near her grave, she might not again have dn opportunity of wit- nessing another procession. She was to meet her daughter in Aldgate Churchyard : but the poor woman, in endeavouring to reach that spot, was trampled down and killed.

On Tuesday, Helen Meredith, servant to a lady in Stangate, while standing outside cleaning the second floor window, dropped a cloth out of her hand, and in endeavouring to catch it as it was falling, she fell into the street, and was taken up dead.

Joseph Jones, a carman, in the employ of Messrs. Hussey and Baker, bone-boilers, Lambeth, was engaged, last week, in skimming a large copper

containing 200 gallons of boiling fat. The platform on which he was stand- ing being greasy, he pitched head foremost into the caldron of grease. He was so dreadfully scalded, that he died soon after, in great agony.

Roniszeies.—When the Lord Mayor went on Saturday to see the arrange- ments at Guildhall, he had in his carriage a bag containing a suit of clothes and a pair of boots. While the carriage was standing at the door of the Guildhall, notwithstanding it was surrounded by police officers, a clever thief contrived to extract the bag from the carriage.

During the " show," on Monday, several individuals were robbed. One gentleman was deprived of a gold repeater ; another lost a pocket-book con- taining a 204 note and a promissory note for 5001.; and a third had his pocket picked of eighty-seven sovereigns and 15/. in Bank notes.

A few days since, a lady travelling from Bath to Cheltenham, stopped for a night at a place called Owlpiti, in Gloucestershire, and left her carriage in an out-house as a place of safety. On the morning she found that a travelling trunk had been cut from it, containing diamonds and jewellery valued at 2,0001. A box of plate, valued at 1,0001. was left behind.

A bloody quarrel took place on Tuesday week, at the hamlet of Petit Chesney, near Versailles, between the soldiers of two regiments of the Royal Guards, and some Swiss soldiers. It appears to have originated in a drunken squabble, in which a Swiss soldier insulted a grenadier of the Guards. The parties flew to arms, and a fight ensued, which it is said was not terminated till twenty-six men were slain, and nearly thirty wounded.

Great exertions are making in Liverpool to suppress street begging. A stout young African was apprehended on Monday, whb was piteously impor- tuning for relief, on the ground of decrepitude and injury in his hand and arm, which he had in a sling. A touch, however, from the constable, re- stored him to vigour, which he exerted in an attempt to escape, but he was secured.

The police of Glasgow last week entered a house in the Corbels, where they found the dead body of a child on the bed, and the mother lying drunk on the floor.

A girl in Leith, in conjunction with a paramour, has been enacting the part of a ghost, to the great annoyance and wonderment of the neighbourhood. A rash neighbour who volunteered to aid in laying the "ghost," suffered a sore buffeting from an invisible arm for his audacious interference. The foolish disturbance continued for some nights, till the police took the matter up, and discovered the mischievous goblin in the person of a female, who, with her assistant, took this method to practice on the fears of her father for a sinister purpose. She was sent to gaol for thirty days.

The Edinburgh papers have the following story. " An old woman of the name of Campbell, from Ireland, came to Edinburgh some days ago, in search of a son, whom she found, and who afterwards went out of town, in search of work. She took up her lodgings on Friday in the house of a man named Burke, in the West Port. It appears that there had been a merry-making in Burke's that night—at least the noise of music and dancing was heard, and it is believed the glass circulated pretty freely among the party. The old woman, it is said, with reluctance joined in the mirth, and also partook of the liquor, and was to sleep on straw alongside of Burke's bed. During the night shrieks were heard ; but the neighbours paid no attention, as such sounds were not unusual in the house. In the morning, however, a female, on going into Burke's, observed the old woman lying as if dead, some of the straw being above her. She did not say anything or raise any alarm ; but in the evening, circumstances transpired which led to a belief that all was not right, for by this time, the body had been removed out of the house, and it wat.i suspected had been sold to a public lecturer. Information was conveyed to the police, and the whole parties taken into custody. After a search, the body was found in the lecture-room of a re. spectable practitioner, who the instant he was informed of the circumstance, not only gave it up, but afforded every information in his power. There are some very strong and singular circumstances connected with the case, which have given rise to strange suspicions." The papers say that there were no marks of violence on the body sufficient to have caused death : and none of the four individuals who have been arrested, agree in their stories concerning her mysterious fate. To add io the horrible surmises which such a story excites, the Edinburgh Post says that the man Burke " is wholly unknown to the ordinary resurrection-men. Not one of them ever saw or heard of him before ; yet he has been occasionally in the habit of bringing subjects to the dissecting-rooms."

THE CITY BECOME Ctassreat.—In the Guildhall on Monday, amongst other banners, were two which were very richly emblazoned : on each was a shield surrounded with laurels ; and on the shields were inscribed, in large letters— "S. P.Q. L."—in imitation of the Roman ensign—Senates Popausyite Londini.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The King has presented to this Society a pair of remarkable dogs, brought from the mountainous part of Nepaul about two months since. They are of the mastiff breed, having an extremely pendulous lower lip, with singularly small eyes. These, together with a specimen of that rare animal the Chinchilli, the only one ever brought alive to this country, with some curious foxes, presented by the Hudson's Bay Company, are now attracting the attention of the naturalist, at the Society's garden in the Re- gent's-park.

GAME LAIA'S.—At the Shaftesbury petty sessions, two brothers named Snook were brought before the magistrate charged with poaching, and they pleaded guilty to the charge, and urged necessity in extenuation. The ma- gistrate (a clergyman) asked them in a stern tone of voice, why they were not at church on that day ? One of the prisoners—" We've no clothes to go there, Sir." Magistrate—"No clothes! What does that signify ? Do you think that the Almighty cares about a person's clothes ? he wishes only to see a good man enter a place of worship." Prisoner—" I don't know about that, Sir ; but I'm sure I had no dress that I could be seen in at such a place." Magistrate—" Don't you think it would have become you better t ) have been serving the Lord, than serving toe devil ?" Prisoner—" Y-e-s, S-i-r." Magistrate—" Tell me, then, fellow, why do you go out poaching ?" Prisoner—" Because I'm poor, your worship. I can get no work ; and, un- less I take a gun now and then, I must starve." Magistrate—" I won't hear of such a defence. You have been guilty of a heinous crime, which has led you to break the Lord's day ; and you shall suffer the penalty of the law for doing so. You must either pay the mitigated penalty of ten pounds, or go to prison." Prisoner (starting with astonishment)—" Ten pounds ! Why I havn't two shillings in all the world." Magistrate—" You must be impri- soned for six months ; but as we believe that you have seduced your young brother into the paths of the devil, which wilL lead him to the gallows, we will only confine him one month. Constable, take these geniuses—these poaching fellows—away to gaol." They were accordingly removed.

NEW SOUTH WALES Thelate Sheriff of New South Wales has been sus- pended, by the Governor, for presiding at a public meeting at Sydney, and

"thereby giving countenance to proceedings, in which the existing institu- tions of the colony and constituted authorities underwent the most calumni- ous animadversions ; such conduct in a public officer tending to produce the most serious evils in a colony."

A Nsw CALCULATING Boy.—There is nnw in Washington, a boy named Ed- ward Ord, only ten years of age, a prodigy in calculation, and an adept in wag- gery. A number of gentlemen who visited him, for the purpose of proving his talent, asked him, " If I give away one-half, flue-third, one-fourth, and pee- fifth of a bushel, what shall I have left of two bushels ? " After a few mo- ments' consideration, he answered correctly, " 43-60ths of a bushel." He was then asked, " If a pair of boots cost six dollars, o hat will a hat cost ?" He answered readily, " Different prices ;" and immediately proposed a similar question—" If a bushel of coals cost 61 cents, what will a cord of wood come to ?" " I don't know," said the gentleman." " It will come to ashes," said the boy. He was then asked, " If 7-10ths of a yard of cassi- mere cost 2 dollars 25 cents, what will a yard and a quarter cost ?" and after a short pause, answered with his usual precision, "4 dollars, 2 cents, and 12-28ths of a cent."—Washington Paper.

DANIEL V. RoemersoN.—This was an action of trover, tried before Judge Gazelee, at the Gloucester Assizes, the object of which appeared to be to try the validity of the marriage of the plaintiff's daughter, in order to obtain possession of her trinkets. The circumstances of the case were stated in the SPECTATOR, August 23' at page 119. The case was brought before the Court of Exchequer on the 8th instant, by Mr. Campbell, on a motion for a new trial. He moved the Court on three grounds—the misdirection of the Judge ; that the verdict was contrary to evidence ; and that the Jury decided the issue of the question by drortang lots. The Jury were enclosed on a Saturday; and they were not likely to agree before twelve o'clock at night. One of them, under the fear of being locked up till Monday, proposed to decide the verdict by tossing up a halfpenny ; but this proposition having been rejected, it was agreed to rest the issue on the drawing of lots. When the lot was drawn the person who had the Jury in charge heard several voices exclaim, `There, there, 'tis for the plaintiff." Mr. Campbell had twe affidavits to this fact—one from an officer of the Court, who overheard them, and another

from a casual visitor. Baron Bullock did not seem to think that much stress could be laid on this objection. The Court, however, granted the rule.

HusoN v. H ORSMA N.—This action, brought to recover a wager deposit on a trotting-match, was tried before Mr. Justice Bayley, at the last York Assizes. Mr. Parke moved the Court of King's Bench, on Monday, to set aside the verdict ',obtained by the defendant, and grant a new trial. Lord

Tenterden expressed a wish that the learned Judge had not allowed the cause to be tried. Mr. Justice Bayley said he should not have tried it, had the other causes occupied all his time. Lord Tenterden thought that the time of courts of justice ought not to be taken up with such actions, and refused the rule. This is the second decision of a similar kind, which his Lordship has given since the recent opening of the Court.

SMITH AND PERRING V. JONES.—In this case, the result of which we noticed last week, Mr. Brougham applied to the Court on Wednesday, for a new trial. His grounds were, that the plaintiff could now produce two witnesses, which it was impossible for him to produce upon the trial; and both of these, in their affidavits, distinctly swore that Simmonds, the person whose escape was the ground of the action, was not in the rules of the King's Bench on the night of the 3rd October 1826, as the defendant alleged. The Court refused the rule, on the ground, that the parties were aware of the points to which the evidence should have been directed on the trial. INSURANCE ON THE LIFE OF THE LATE DUKE OF SAXE GOTHA.--This case was reported in the SPECTATOR, October 26, at page 262. Mr. Brougham on Wednesday applied to the Court for a new trial, on the ground of misdi- rection. Mr. Justice Bayley and Mr. Justice Littledale were of opinion that Lord Tenterden (who presided on that occasion) was right, and therefore the rule was refused.

THE KING V. The TIMES.—The Common Sergeant applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the proprietors of the Times, for a libel on Mr. Brooks, an attorney, residing at 'Wells. In an election contest, in the borough, Brooks acted as agent for Sir Charles Taylor and the other sitting member. Lovel, a member of the Corporation, had been offered abribe equal in emolument to a Barrack- master's appointment (by Mr. Henning, a Magistrate who was in the interest of the opposing party), if he would give his vote and use his interest in their behalf, and not in that of Sir Charles, for whom he was wont to vote. Mr. Nichols, an apothecary, was also concerned. Level disclosed the circum- stance, and gave Sir Charles the written agreement. Legal proceedings were then instituted ; but Level positively refused to go before the Grand Jury, and of course no bill could be found. A paragraph appeared in the county paper, insinuating in gentle phrase that Brooks had "sent away " Lovel on the first day of the Assizes, so that he could not be got to give evidence. The Times copied the paragraph and written agreement given by lianning,, and animadverted in severe terms on the conduct of Brooks in his management of his client's case, and concluded its comments with these words—"The prosecution against Harming and Nicholls, failed by some unaccountable (or rather very accountable) conduct of the prosecutor's attorney; Lovel, the most material witness, having been sent away on the very morning when the bill was presented to the Grand Jury. The man who so disposed of the witness ought, we think, to be sent away' too, and that further than we think it necessary to describe." Brooks swore that he had not acted in the manner described in the Times, as he had repeatedly urged Lovel to come forward. The Times had also refused to give up the author of the offensive paragraph. The rule was granted. RowE V. BnesreON.—In this case, wherein the title of the plaintiff to cer- tain mines in Cornwall is questioned, the Crown having come in to claim as Duke of Cornwall, Lord Tenterden intimated, that before the trial at bar came on before the whole Court, their Lordships would expect copies of the documents. Mr. Brougham said that everything that was intended as evi- dence should be furnished ; but it would not be necessary to furnish copies of all the documents in the case, for one single set that had been sent to the learned counsel weighed fifteen hundred weight! The trial at bar was fixed for the 19th.

THE KING V. SMITH alias VAI:GHAN.—The defendant was found guilty at the Norfolk Assizes, of having stolen dead bodies from a churchyard, and was now brought up for judgment. The sentence of the Court was—six months, imprisonment in Norwich Castle.
