The King on the Prosecution of James Harris Gent. v. David Parry, Labourer, fur Larceny. The ATTORNEY-GENEKAL stated the case to the Jury, and observed that this was one of those melancholy occurrences which had become very common in the principality, and which (ifpossi- ble) must he suppressed, lie meant plundering wrecks. He, the learned Attorney, had hoped that the great leniency shewn to the persons who had been guilty of the like crime VI mouths ago, would have operated as a warning to others; | but it appeared that it had not, aii(i he was afraid that a severe example must he made before the evil, could be repressed. The facts of the ease were shortly these The ship Rebecca, bound I g 0 from Glasgow with a general cargo, to Jamaica, j was wrecked on the coast of Ireland, near Wex- ford, on a place called the Biack Water Bank, in the month of December last, part of her caryo floated, and by the wind and tide was carried to Carnarvon Bay, where it was stolen to a consi- derable extent; and it would be proved that-the prisoner had sold a considerable quantity of sown pieces, which formed part of the cargo of the Rebecca. Proving these facts, he the Attorney- General, had no doubt but that the Jury would feel it their duty, however painful, acting as they were, under the sanctity of illeir Sol,-Illl),Ol t'i t) find the prisoner Guilty of the crime with which he stood charged. Mr.WILLIAMS then called Thomas Alexander.— I was in the month of December last. Master of the Rebecca, of Glasgow, bound to Jamaica I sailed on the 16th of December from Glasgow, itnd was loston the22dday of December on Black Water Bank, ou the coast of Wexford, she was a complete wreck, when I left her the water was up to the lowest deck beams; on Friday she was entirely out of sight, her masts were not to be seen; I had boxes on board belonging to Mr. John Cowper; the bill of lading mentioned 23 boxes, does not mention of what. Cross-examined by illr. Cockrrell.-I merely know she was entirely under water on the Sitli I did not see any part of her floating afterwards I sometime afterwards saw a mast on the coast of Wexford, belonging to her, which was sold I saw a box and pnncheon at Carnarvon, which I swear was on board the Rebecca. By the Court.-The goods which I saw at Car- narvon could not come from the Rebecca, unless she had gone to pieces. Mr. John Cowper examined by the Attorney Ge- iteral.-I am a merchant residing at Glasgow I shipped goods on board the Rebecca in Decem- her last; 23 boxes consigned to Guild and Wood- burn, at Jamaica, they contained printed robes and printed handkerchiefs, and gown pieces they were not finished, they are called robes us well as gown pieces; there were no other articles, they were made of muslin (cotton.) none of them I was ornamented with silk; there weie three boxes at least contained gown pieces, 150 pieces in each box. Richard Williams examined by 3fr. Williams.— I am a shookeeper at Pwllheli; I kuow the pri- soner David Parry I saw him on the 7th of Ja- nuary last he brought some muslins to me there were more than 14 piscea the prisoner asked me to look at them, I did, and asK\d what they were, he said they were wrecked Roods, and asked what I thought they were worth. I said I did not know he told me that two lads had got them, he named one.of them, I do not know thnt lie named the other he said that he had bought them from the lads and said that Da vies, an of- ficer, had divided the goods in three shares, and that he had bought the lad's share Davies is an officer of the Custom House at Tydweiliog, his name is William Davies I do not know the names of the lads except Rowland, of Bodscadn, the other is the son of Pencraig prisoner asked me if I wanted any of them, I said I did not; he then asked me if I would sell them for him I asked hinr are they honest to you, lie said yes; I then said as they are honest, I'll go to a shop where you will be likely to sell some of them, and we sold 1:4 pieces to Messrs. Williams and Hughes & the prisoner was there & William Hughes, and his daughter were there; I sold them for 3s a-piece; they were muslin, like gown pieces I received the money for them, and paid Iit?ii ovei- it) I)risoiit,i-. Cross examined by Mr. Cackcrcll.- Í am a shop- keeper I would not have mddled with the goods had I thought they were not honest; William Davies is a sub Vice-A(lmira\; I helieve Iw r looked after the property wrecked prisoner I said Davies had given that share fo the lads, for taking care of the property, for salvage. Examined by the Court.-Prisoner gave me 2s. 6d. Commission I have kept a shop for 18 years; I never sold but very little muslins; I think the gown pieces were about two or three yards I will not swear they are worth more I never opened them 1 sold them to Hughes withofrt opening or measuring them for 3s. each they looked a little damaged I can't say the whole were. Miss Ann Hughes examined by Mr. Wyatt.— I am daughter to Mr. William Hughes, shop- keeper, Pwllheli my faiher has married a se- cond wife called Jane she is now very much indisposed I was present on the 7th of January last, when Richard Williams sold my mother-ia- law some goods; they were 12 muslin dresses or gown pieces my mother did not examine them minutely I do not know if they were opened by Richard Williams or my mother; I do not know how many yards they contained each; I never saw them opened after they were bought; they were coarse muslin, and plain except the flounces there were no bodies to them; my mother gave 3s. for each of the gown pieces they were a very little time in bargaining for them I do not think them cheap, the muslins were not worth more than 4s., they were not sold in the shop, they were given up to Mr. Harris when he came for them. Cross examined by iMr. Cockerell.-It was an open transaction; I do not think them worth more if they were perfectin, undamaged., By the Cuiti-t.- Does it not appear odd that they should be only worth 3s. undamaged, when your mother gave 3s. for damaged ones? The witness answered with considerable embarrass. ment, and said it was her mother's transaction, and she k>i«\v nothing at all about it.

A F ABLE-CA THOLIC EMANCIPATION. A careful shepherd had a flock Of thriving sheep-his only stock; Their pasture he with walls surrounded, As wolves in all the land abounded Great were his pains, his labour long, To make the wall both high and strong, Yet often, as he went to sleep, The wolves broke in, and tore the sheep A t last he found lh work complete; No entrance It-f,, but at the gate, The flock protected, and at peace, Began to flourish and increase; Till full of years, and honest pride At his success, the shepherd died. A son succeeded, mild and kind. Of liberal and princely mind Who wish'd, indeed, to save the sheep, And yet the wolves in humour keep. Him the submissive brute- petition To pity their forlorn condition; Of their primeval rights denuded. An 1 from the pasturage excluded Tliey yow,(I, they swore, theiralfer'd mind To sheep had long become so kind. They would not put a tooth or foot on The choicest fattest leg of mutton Their ancestors, they all confess'd. Of sharper notions were possess'd. Had often c.ihrib'd the shepherd's wall, And made the sheep in thousands fall; Spread death and desolation round, Aii,,i blood the blushing ground; But they (kind souls) had other kjllheys As noble as Sir Pliiiii) Sydney's— ?lTiJJ as Melanethon, they would keep the The shepherd ft'aring such a trial, Was resolute in his denial Till by false friends extremely puzzled lie let the wolves in strongly muzzled* Pared from, each foot. was every etew. Full twenty straps bound up each jaw,; And each was forced an oath to pass. He would eat nothing there but grass; The wall was levelled, and the meeting; Twixt wolves and sheep, was grac'd vvlh greeting; One would suppose, through all the pla n, The golden age was come again Sheep joil"d with wolf hard names to dill ■; The btiildei-s of the let,ell'd wall; A few bold watchmen dar'd to cry Against this frightful novelty, And prophesied 'twould come to pasq The wolves would think all flesh i.-grasg;" And in their plenitude of power The silly sheep would soon devour. Their warnings all are given in vain. Within the fold the wolves remain The watchmen meet contempt and hae, As born two centuries too late Vile bigots, who for private ends Would separate such loving friends. Meantime, tbo claws which had bee) cut, Grevy long and sharp on every loot; Some of the straps .are weak and tore, And those, though few, that now remain, Give tenfold discontent and pain, Till, as an useless, galling brand, They'ro all drawn off with gentle hanel. The shepherd starts, and late takes care New straps and muzzles to prepare, Resolv'd at last strict watch to keep, And save if possible the sheep. But vain is. all precaution uow, The grim wolf knits his horrid brow, The muzzle he rejects with scorn, And on that melancholy morn Destruction rages through the fold, The sheep are slaughter'd young and old In vain for help the shepherd cries, Amidst his butcher'd finck he dies, And curses in his hapless fall The day he mov'd his father's "-RII

RULE OF HEALTH FOR SPRING. IT was formerly to regular a cm;tom to IE blooded about this time, that a few observations on the best mode of preserving the health tnd averting disorders at this unwholesome time of year, may not prove unacceptable to the reader; for it is certain that spring has its peculiar ds- eases, such as fevers of an intermittent cha.ract(r, boils and carbuecles, eruptiuna of the skin, aid others. We know of no specific remedies for I these complaints, but the fotiowing rule of cot- duct with respect to diet, sleep, air, oxercise, &i. is best caluulated to keep the body healthy, aid to guard against the occurrence of prevailing maladies 0 1. Keep the stomach and bowels regular by small doses of aperient medicine, taken whever the func- tioilS of the bowels seem inactive. 2. Fat at regular times, and do not wear out the digestive powers of thestomach by eating any thing between meals. A break fass at nine. a. din nor at five, and tea or coffee at eight, are all th.at is required and supper-i are universally bad, par- ticularly for nervous and irritable constitutions, all they produce indigestion, bad sleep, and low spirits next day. S. Take exercise at this time of year between breakfast and dititier but after dinner sit quiet and converse with your company, as motion after eating disturbs the digestion of the food. As the spring advances, you may take exercise before as well as after breakfast, and again after tea. 4. Avoid all strong liquors, particularly when fasting. 5. Too much of any sort of food, but particu- larly of meat, is apt to produce weakness and un- merous diseases, which many people erroneously suppose it will counteract. 6. Guard against cold winds and sudden changes of weather so common in spring, by wearing flan- next next the skin. 7. Nervous people should keep in doors when the wind blows from the East, particularly in spring. Such winds often cause head-aches, which we get up with ill the morning, and falsely ascribe to other causes.

THE PLAGUE. When I was at Smyrna, the shops wereshnt up, accidents,' (deaths) as they are termed, oc- curring every hour, and many awful spectacles of disease, like that of old. removed from their polluted habitations in litters, to prevent the con- tagion making more rapid strides, who were laid under tents, pitched on the sea shore for their re- ception, about two miles distant from the town. The greatest, caution is observed by Christians in walking along the streets, who avoid to tread on the smallest rag or any trifling article from which infection might be dreadee, or touching any person in passing. Most of the shops of the Eu- ropeans were shut up, the principal families had fled to a distance; a dead silence, peculiarly af- fecting, reigued throughout the place, and tents, under which those afflicted with the disease had been laid were pitchud on the shores, and many had died. Every article received into the houses of the Franks was thrown into water before it was used the gates leading to their houses closed up persons permitted to pass without the strictest examination, and every letter was received be. tween small tongs, and fumigated before it was touched and opened. Bread in a warm state from recent baking was avoided. The infection of this sore pestilence may be communicated by a single thread; but it is singlar that it does notaffectthe feathered tribe, although iheirfeaihurs communi- cate infection, I do not think any danger is to be apprehended from oxen or horses, althoug tra- vellers ought to avoid coming in contact with goats or sheep. Detirium, and violent head-ache, are symptoms sufficient to cause the affected to expect speedily a great change. Some have been led to suppose it is communicated by the air, while others are of opinion it is propagated by swarms of insects, brought with the wind; but the trite CatlSH of it has baffled theski 11 of themost eminent medical characters, and is believed to be extre- mely difficult to be aecuralely accounted for. This visitation usually cotiiiii(-iic,s with shivering', vmnieing. violent fever, pains about, the heart, and (1(1 .il makes is appearance in boils and spots of different colours oh the body. Ill general, tt, i scourge is checked by thintense heats during the months of July and August. In Cairo SOlil thousands are swept off by it during some years, especially in the summer season. Although Jiapoi Britain \Va at no very distant period isited, with this frightful pestilence, yet great is the gratitude which ought to be expressed at the present 'day, that it i" pxpmptrrI fmlJ!sllch a visi fatiorj, amt,1 ,\we are bound to Ol1'l'I"lJfJ .prayeus. that -.tile MIGHTY wonld with-hohl this destroying Angel; from our laud, which cuis down thousa id$, and, occasions such awful scenes of desoiiitio'ii and mourning.—(From i\.>e Travels of William llae Wilson, Esq. in Egypt, Greece. )

In consequence of the recent proceedings amongst th-e spin- ners and other workmen in Scotland, arrd in some of the manufacturing districts in this country. Mr. Huskisson on Tuesday moved for the appiontmentof a Committee to inquire into the effects of the Act pas- spd in the last Session of Parliament, for repealing the Combination Laws, with a view to ascertain in what points that Act was defective. In proposing this motion, Mr. Huskisson said that he did not wish to enact severe or penal laws, but to pass a measure which would be beneficial to commerce, by leading to a due adjustment between masterand workmen. Mr Hume concurred in the motion, which was un- animously agreeed to. PARIS, APRIL 1.—^France has more to gStitt by-a. «iat<igl frpP irado mUli.Eiigl«.A than any other country. The nature of the productions favoured by our climate, the large markets offered by England, the advantageous prices at which we can sell, all make us desire to see our communica- tion with England placed on a more liberal footing. England also loses much by purchasing at a greater distance, and at a higher rate, the commodities she might procure from us. The truths developed by Adam Smith on this subject will soon be adopted by the people. There can be no doubt but a revolution is taking place in the commercial world, which will extend its influence even to those countries which do not adopt it. Useless prohibitions, excessive taxes, onerous impost, with all the rest of the cumbrous apparatus of I the old system, will (all a ruinous weight on those governments which endeavour, in vaiu, to prolong the duration of these old fasliioued measures. P i, ittITrctT, ArrACK.~The Hellespont which arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday, after a quick passage from Smyrna (Capt. Rolsfeti), brings the following account of a desperate rencontre between the boats of the Cambrian and Seringapatam fri- gates, and a piratical vessel, in the Gulf of Vola :I transmit a statement of the attack made by some Greek pirates on the boats of his Majesty's frigates Cambrian ilod Seringaparam, 011 the 30th Jainuiiry in the Guif of Vola; the next day we saw a Greek brig boarded by two Scumpario- ras at the distance of about two miles A boat was ordered away to speak to the 11 kj- 3, and was told that these boats were pirates, which, ai soon as they perceived our ships began to man their boata.eightin number, and go in search of them. After having rowed about 16 miles up a gulph, the Seringapatam's cutter descried on& of the largest of them, and soon came up with her, and were in the act of laying in -theiroars wtieri the pirates fired into their boat, killed two men, and wounded one officer and four men she then dropped astern, waiting till the other boats came up. They then boarded her, and having put all to the sword except one man, she was taken—so desperate were they before they would surrender. The Cambriam's boat then attacked the other boat, and carried her with the loss of two men kil. led and six wounded, one among the lat- ter of whom was an officer. Out of 70 men, which was the force of the pirates, only 7 were made prisoners, they rather preferring to die than to surrender. Six of them were wounded, and the other, who had jumped overboard, was taken one of the even snapped his pistol at the mariners, although surrounded byan armed force. It seems that this gaifg had fol. lowed the trade for some time." --=
