A paragraph was inserted in our last week's publicetion, extracted from the .1,1en Bull, which stated that " the Lord Chancellor, in order to allay pain of a distressing nature, was obliged to have recourse to laudanum." We have received a communication from his Lordship's brother, Mr. James Brougham, dated Brougham, September 19, utterly contradicting the statement of the .101in Bull. ‘• I have great satisfac- tion ill telling you (says Mr. Brougham) that the Lord Chancellor has no pain or complaint of any kind whatever—that lie never took lauda- num or opium in the whole course of his life—that be is enjoying the very best health andthat there is no man of his age, nor even among the mountaineers of these counties, more likely to live thirty years than- the Lord Chancellor; and as for the story of his sleeping fifty hours, which the same paragraph gives, I was with him the whole way, and I do not think he slept five hours in the carriage, contrary to his usual habit, and probably because he came in an open c ariage." We are

most happy to give -t imony to Lord Brougham's healthfulness

and halene,s.—Cari;,,, Lord Althorp appe:Lrs to have been particularly successful at the annual show of the Nalleiiiiptonshire Grazing Society last week, at his Lordship's farm, Chapel Bnunpton. To hint were awarded the second prize of three guineas for five long-wooled shear hogs; three sovereigns for his Durham steer, three years and three months old; two sovere:gns for a second Durham steer, of the same age ; two sove- reigns for the 'best steer under three years and nine months old ; and three guinc is for another Durham steer, three years and three months old," bred by himself." Upon his health being drunk, Lord A Ithorp ex- pressed his high gratification at the number and quality of the animals exhibited, but declined all allusion to polities. He had, he said, been "for some time past employed upon subjects very different from those they were then met to discuss ;" but to those subjects, "be was happy to say," he was not allowed by the rules of the Society mote particularly to advert.

At a meeting of the 13risthl Missionary Society last week, the Reverend Thomas Roberts stated, that within the period of the years

1820 and 1.829, human beines had been brought from Africa and sold for the cultivation of the soil mid the working of the Brazilian mines. This had been done by a g111,-,s violation of the treaty entered into with tile Brazils in It:2:3, that the Brazilian slave trade was to cease ill four years from the time of that negotiation.

A merchant and banker's parcel, together containing bills, cash, and cash notes, to the amount of upwards of 3,000/., was lost out of a gig between Leeds and Bradford. The loss of so large a sum, mostly in convertible money, occasioned considerable consternation to the party principally interested ; who hastened back to Leeds, and was giving instructions for the issuing of placards at the same moment when a messenger arrived with the information that the parcel had been found on the road, and taken to a merchant's counting. house in Bradford, who sent his son express to Leeds, to remove without delay the anxiety that so heavy a loss must occasion. It appears that the parcel had been placed on the scat of the gig, behind one of two passengers, and fallen out unobserved in descending the hill near the White Bear. Had it fallen into improper hands' nearly 3,0001. of the money might have been appropriated with very little chance of detection. The person who found the valuable package, and with such becoming promptitude took measures fur havingit restored to the owner, was John Haim- worth, a waggoner in the employment of Mr. Firth, and we have much pleasure in mentioning his name. A more substantial reward than this tribute to his integrity no doubt awaits him.—Leeds Mercury.

The congregation at St. Peter's Church, Carmarthen, was thrown into considerable alarm on Sunday week, by a tremendous erasb, occasioned by the fall of a marble figure of an angel from one of the

monuments in the church. It was fortunate that no person was in the seat upon which it fell : the seat itself was crushed to pieces.— Gloucester Chronicle.

On Wednesday week, a most awful death befell William Powell, a workman at the Brecon British Company's Limekilns at Llangattoek. As he was taking his position to sift the lime in the kiln, he unfor- tunately came over a hollow part, and the bar gave way; and, as he had placed his weight altogether upon it, he fell into the middle of the burning chasm. In two minutes he was literally consumed.

Two men, tvlio were taken into custody some time ago, for the murder of Elizabeth Thurman, a girl about eleven years of age, but against whom the Grand Jury threw out the bill at the last Assizes, have again been apprehended on the evidence of a female, who has since stated she saw the deed committed.—Leicester .11erahl.

Last week, on the day before Lichfield races, a person. calling him- self a Bow Street ollicer, came travelling post through Leamington, in pursuit, as he pretended, of four men who had robbed and murdered a commercial gentleman near London. Two of the murderers, lw said, he bad apprehended betWeen London and Sitattord. So anxious Wu:: this vigilant emissary of justice to secure the other two, that he drove to the different lodging-houses in a post-chaise and letir,%vith the chaise- door open, that he might the more securely punice upon Lis prey. ills search being unsuccessful, he took a fresh chaise fold pair, and so keen was he hi the pursuit that he had nut time to pay fur it. Near Lap- -worth, he took a man into custody, under la:etc:WC that he was one of the suspected criminals; and 6011 contirtaal his pursuit of the feurtil through Hockley, and Birmingham, to Lichfield. It living the raves, of course he directed the post-boy to drive at once to the race-course, as the most probable place in which to find the delinquent i.e xvfi-, Fur- suing. _Here, on alighting from the chaise, of eOarSe he Was asl:ed by the post-boy for payment. This he indignuntly resented, gave the post - boy a kick for his impertinence, suddenly disappeared amongst the crowd, and has never been seen or heard of since. When at Stratford, he did not apply to the local police for assistance ; but it was suggested to 3Ir. Ashfield, the constable, that he ought to assist in the pursuit. Ash- field, however, thinking that no Bow Street officer would gallop about from one lodging-house to another in a post-chaise with the door open, expressed his suspicion that all was not right, and declined to volunteer in such an apparently wild-goose chase. His suspicious have been amply confirmed. The swindler, it appears, at Shipston-mo Stour con- trived to obtain cash to a considerable amount on a check ; and at other towns also he practised the same trick, frequently leaving 5/. in the hands of the landlord, if the latter had not cash to the full amount of the cheek, at the same time promising to settle the balance and pay for the chaise on his return. So adroit ned sueecssibl was the impostor, that it is confidently said he netted recily tar the excursion, besides travelling post from London to 1"..elilield;trlo.

An inquest was held, on Tuesday week, at Burford, on the body of Mr. Seeker, a respectable inhabitant of Wilford. Mr. James Baba of Minster Lovel, deposed that he was in company with the decease riding a foot-pace, going home from Burford Market, on the previous Saturday, about seven o'clock. They were overtaken by John and William Mastin, who were going at a racing pare; and lie and deceased got on each side of the road to let them pass. William Mastin's horse ran violently against the horse of deceased, which threw hint off, when deponent alighted to his succour. William Mastin also stopped and expressed sorrow for the accident ; but John Mastin galloped on sonic way, yet afterwards returned. Just previous to their coming up first, he had heard the smack of a lash-whip, and a cry of " Tally-ho." After the accident, when John Mastin returned, deponent spoke of his mis- conduct in riding so fast ; when he said, '° What have you to do with

it?" and offered to fight him. Evidence was given of the random- riding of the Mastitis, and their carelessness after the accident. The deceased received a concussion of the brain, and died in the night. He has left a wife and twelve children. The Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the Mastins.—Oxford Journal.

A singular instance of the ferocity of a rat occurred last Wednesday night, in the house of Mrs. Swain, Punch Bowl Inn, Thursday Market. After the family had retired to bed, Mr. and Mrs. Swain were awoke by the screams of their three children, who slept in an adjoining room. Mrs. Swain, on entering the room observed a large

rat jump off the bed. Her husband procured a light, and an unsuccess- ful search was made for it. On examining the children, they discovered that one of them had one of his bands bitten; another bad one of his knees so severely bitten, that he was unable to walk next day ; and the youngest, an infant, was severely bitten on one side of the tied:, a • little under the car, and bled so profusely that his life was During the time the parents were in the room, the nit jumped upon the bed a second time, and seized the youngest child by the forehead. The ferocious animal kept its hold until Mr. Swain went and attempted to catch it ; but it eluded his grasp, and finally escaped.—Yorkshire Gazette.

Cu Sunday morning, about five o'clock, flames were discovered issu- iag from the eves of the thatched roof of the premises of William Parra- green, keeping a grocer's and chandler's shop, in the hamlet of Heath, near Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. The family, consisting of Parragreen, his granddaughter, and two female lodgers, on the outer door being burst open, were all fast asleep; and it was with some diffi- culty that the old man, lvho is a widower, was awoke. On the burst- ing open the door, the shop was filled with smoke, and the entire of the inside was in a blaze ; and part of the ceiling of the shop fulling alum the counter, the flames issuing from the store-room above the shop. An alarm of gunpowder being given, deterred the bystanders from that active and immediate exertion, which if it had been resorted to, would probably have saved the premises and the greater part of the stock. An explosion of some part of the gunpowder which was in the shop soon took place ; and very shortly afterwards, the remainder, which was in the store-room above the slam, blew up, tbreing the beams, rafters, &c. of the house to a great height. and impelling them in every direction to a eOnsiderable distallee ; and the Whole of the premises were instantly in one volume of flames. which, together. with the stock in the shop, were consumed. :Nothing of it stispiciou: character has

The vicarage-house, occupied by the vicar, the Reverend G. E. Whyley, a modern brick-built residence, adjoining the farm premises. escaped uninjured. The whole amount of damage is estimated at between -2.0110/. and :3,000/. ; about 7110/. of it fbr corn and hay, the remainder for the N-altte of the premises des- troyed. The major part of the corn and hay was that which had been taken in kind (Luring the harvest just finished, and was not insured ; the remainder was the private property of a Air.
