The Ctftton market remained without

From the Liverpool Mercury u
Mr ffooler. —On Tuesday, the 19th
of June, Mr Woollcr made application,
at the Court of King’s Bench, for an era
sure of the verdict which had been en
tered against him. In support of his
motion Mr. Wnoller produced the affi
davits of two of the Jurymen, declaring
that they did not agree to the verdict.—
One of the officers of the court -swore in
an affidavit that he heard one of the jury
dissent Mr. Wooler, in a very able and
manly manner, quoted various law au
thorities, ami observed:—“lean ask Tor
what, I conceive, I l ave a right to claim
—the protection of the court; but I feel
so strongly, having received an acquittal
from one jury on one information pressed
by the attorney-general with all his pow
ers, that 1 am entitled to an acquittal on
(ho other information also, that my case
detnnhds that I should stand firmly for
ward in defence of uvy character. What
ever b** the consequence, I will assort
that I have deserved and ought to receive
no punishment. I rest upon this, that
there has been no trial, because there
has boon no verdict; and no verdict, be
cause there was no unanimity. I appeal,
then, to your Lordships, whether in law
or reason, you can pronounce a rule for
a new trial, and suffer a verdict to stand
oii the,records of the court to the preju
dice ofrny character. \ claim that, that
verdict shall be erased.” And again. “I
complain of an act of injustice; I contend
against a new trial—a thing, in this case
abhorrent from all the principles of En
glish juri.sp' udence, such as the charac
ter of the English administration of jus
tice disclaims. If a new trial ordered,
dire past trial has been declared to have
. terminated with ft Verdict. This is an
assumption perfectly Incorrect and un
tenable. There was *no unanimity; the
jury were not in court when the answer
of the foreman was recorded; therefore it
was not in any legal, intelligible sense; it
was not a verdict. The error—l had no
contfouhoverihia error; I have not occa
sioned it: I could not have prevented it;
I have not been able to correct it. It was
not a verdict: I cannot sutler by if;a new
trial is absurd, as there lias been no past
trial. I cannot be placed in the same
circumstances at any future trial; there
fore I cannot be exposed tojme. This
is the case I submit to the court"” Lord
Kllenborough.—“Have you done?” - *Mr,
Wooler—“At present.” Lord Ellenbo

1 GENER.VLSCOTT.
QUEBEC, SEPT. 4.
On Monday in tlie steam boat Car of
] Commerce, General Winfield Scott, of
the United States’ army, arrived in this
city, accompanied by one of his aids, and
. some other officers of the United Mates
service. The object of the General’s
visit has not transpired.
Mere pleasure, or motives of curiosity
; wholly unconnected with his profession
• al character, have probably induced liim
, to pay his respects to our invulnerable
city; if so, the hospitality of Quebec
will convince him, that though ackow
ledging and adoring a Monarch, whose
-mild and benignant constitutes its
. Citizens his Children, rather than his
* -subjects—they appreciate and adopt
' with equal zeal to the United States Re-
J rpublicans, the injunction of their Wadi-
Migton—« Enemies in war, in peace
■ fnends”—* yet, whilst they do ‘so, the
1 General will pardon them for remember- ’
ing and practising in a negative manner'

general must consider it a personal com
pliment, if the prudent of the
officers of the garrison evinces, that they
5 have, bet forgotten that ‘fen. Scott’# ta*
dents presented him to the eye of his go
vernment.ag the most table Officer they
could send to Europe, avowedly to olw
tain, by actual observations, of the migh
ty armaments which Napoleon's violation
of treaties bad arrayed on the embattled
pptn, that practical knowledge of the
science of war, go essential in this age 1
of the world to enable a powerful nation
to preserve its territory, an insulted one
to vindicate its character, ant! an ambiti
ous one to realize, a gigantic project.'-
From a late London paper. /
A gentlemen, who was eye-witness of
the affair, has related tops (he fallowing
particulars of the apprehension of Ihe
young n jpi who was executed at Lyons
for seditious practices, and died with
much and • iv-us boldness. It appears
that he had acted as secretary to the
ultra reforming society i:; that city, and
when their plot was discovered, a con
si lei aide ree aid was offered for his ap
prehension; ho, however, succeeded in
effectually'sCcretiug himself for several
pays from the argus-eyed police, when
the youqg cv-srcretary foot, his passage,
under a feigned name, in a vessel going
< own the, river to Chalons, (hi which our
informant was passenger.)
lie had got safely on board, And the
sloop got under weigh: but in less than
a quarter of an hour, was hailed to arrest
her course.by a boat rowed with great ve
locity, and felled with gensd’armesf they
got alongside the vessel and demanded
if Mr. wan on board; and on being
answered in the negative, they ascended
, the sloop, and proceeded to examine the
passengers, comparing their persons with
a minute printed description of the young
revolutionist. Ije was soon identified;
but instantly leaped overboard, and* was
instantly followed by one of the officers;'
they both swam well, but the young refu
gee finding himself likely to become a
captive, gave himself up to desperation;
turned round on his pursuer, smiled
contemptuously on him, folded his arms
and sunk, as all the spectators thought,
to rise no more. The officer however
was not thus to be deprived of his anti
cipated reward; he dived after him,
but without effect; a second time hq di
ved without.more sucsess, but on a third
effort, he was seen to rise, grasping his
devoted victim. He swam with him to
the vessel, whare means for restoring ani
mation were successfully applied. The
young fellow was then properly secured,
he was taken onshore, tried, found guil
ty and executed.
From tlie jjoiiton Evening Intelligencer.
The beautiful albiness. —The fe
male known in England and upon the
continent of Europe by this appellation
has lately arrived in Quebec, and intends
to visit the United States. The race of
Albinos is separated into two denomina
tions; the first are the white negroes of
Africa, who have light hair, blue eyes,
and a white body, resembling Europeans
when viewed at a distance, but upon a
nearer approach the whiteness is pale and
livid; the second are those European*
who have pink or red eyes, and white, or
nearly white hair,eye-brows ami lashes.
The instances upon record of the exis
tence of the European Albinos are not
numerous. Two boy* at Chamouni are
mentioned by M. Saussure, the iris of
whose eyes was rose colored, and the;
, pupil when viewed in the light appeared
red. It) their infancy their hair, eye
brows, ey c-lashes and the down of their
skin Were very fine and of a perfect miik
white; but at the age of 20 or 25 the hair
was ol a reddish cast and more strong.—
M Hazzi,, surgeon to the hospital at Mi
lan, dissected a Peasant in 1784, of about
SO years o! age, of this discriplion ofper
, soiiu for the purpose of accounting,for the
physiological peculiarities of their con
formation. A fact related by this sur
geon seems to throw some light upon the
subject—“A woman of Milan had seven
sons, of whom, the eldest and tlie two
youngest had brown hair and black eyes,
and the other three had white skins,
white hair ami-red eyes.”
The name of the subject of this article
is Harvey: and she was born of English
parents at* a town in Essex within 40
miles of London. They had six children,
three of whom inherited the same dark
complexion with themselves, and three,
; including the Albtness, were of the same
'• extraordinary appearance. She is about
18 years old, and her two brothers W'ere
in the year 1816 exhibited with her at the
fair of Hurlem. *Her hair is most won
derful, it resembles the appearance of
that of the beautiful Angola goat, ex
cepting in point of length. It has a beau
tiful glossy texture; but is rather coarse,'
and she' preserves its beauty by frequent
ly immersing it in warm water, and ne
ver uses either a comb or brush. Her
eyes are apparently in a state of con
tinual motion, over which, she has no
controul, and at a distance appears to be
almost a bright crimson, which colour
softens as you approach her (and change
the locus -of light) into a soft ipdian pink,
or a mixture of rose colour and lilac.—
Her countenance is animated and pleas
ing, notwithstanding the paleness of her,

itoads, July 17,1817.“
Dear sir—We sailed from Mahon,
on the Btji ofJune,* with the squadron' I
and anchored in the Bay of Marseilles*
two days afterwards—The Pratique of- 1 I
ficer, sent two men on board as a guard, I
till the Council should meet, which has I
the regulation of quarantine affairs. It
is common in several of the Mediterran
ean ports, to.send this guard on board
ships in quarantine, vyith th» ostensible
view of seeing that iliey do not infl-inn-g
any of the quarantine laws; but I believe
they are spies kept on board, to sift out
the object of the vessels in coming into
the port. x
We found Cleopatra’s Barge, ami the J
British frigate Tagus, cr.pt. Dundas, here. I
The Tagus is, without exception, the I
neatest rigged ship I ever saw, and is
kept in elegant order.—She sailed for I
Malta, the day after our arrival; they
have a British ambassador to'the Grand I
Seignior, op board, and will carry him to I
Constantinople.
We saluted the town with 21 guns,
which was.returned, with the like num
ber of guns, N in the worst Order I ever !
heard. The beauty of a salute consists
in the regularity of time between the
intervals of firing:—The French paid I
no attention to this, in, returning ouis. I
On the third day after cur arrival, I
were informed that we were quarantined I
for fifteen days from the tune we diopt I
anchor, on account of having Mr. Si.a- ;
er on board; the usual quarantine from- I
fort Mahon, being but ton days, from
the day a vessel left that port. Mr.
Shalcr had then been from, Algiers 40
days, and received pratique in two dif
ferent ports.—The Commodore
dered tins unusual quarantine as a mark
•of enmity on their part, and determined ■
on leaving the port, without wailing for
pratique, which we did on the Itllh.—
The day before we sailed the Spark slip- 1 ■
ped her cables, and went to sea in a gale
of wind.
This lengthened quarantine might have ?
been mere etiquette on the part of the ■
French, as they are very particular in
trifles: The Commodore is determined |f
never to enter another French port, «sa |
friend, unless ordered by the Isavy I3e
partment. *• * f
Mr. Fitch, an American merchant, at If
Marseilles, was alongside of this ship- I
'and represented that place, as in a mis- ■
erable condition. They had had but I
four hours rain months, and k;> ■
the crops had failed. The government I
officers found it impossible to collect the I
taxes, as it tool; all the poorer clasw-’ I
could earn, to purchase bread. Mr. ■
Fitch says, that if the people are not re I
lievcd in some manner, commotions will, ■
take place. .France is divided within I
herself, and’very little will kindle up ll tj
blaze, which Louis will find difficult, to I
extinguish. ■
One evening, whilst we lay in Mr- ■
seilles, there was a boat with six or eig't I
gcntlernenly looking men in it, ■
round this ship, viewing her, when o;ir I
band struck up the Marseilles Ilyinu. I
You will recollect, tliat, in the time of the ■
French Revolution,this was, at one mot' ■
the national tune. They used to sing |y
throughout the ranks, in action, a |ia ■
charge with it; it inspired them in ■ i ll ' I
same manner, as the bagpipes do tnc I
Scotch Higlanders, ‘ The leader ;1 |y
principal part of our band are Irene,*
and, I believe, struck up this tune l!in 1 ' B
tionally, as it is treason to play itu ,,, _<-‘
the existing government. The tune I
no sooner struck up than the peoph* ' ■ ■
tho boat pulled off their hats,
beat time, clapped, cheered, and npi-'* ■
ed frantic with joy; it gave them no ■ ,
life. The principal part ol th>*i« c ‘ ■ ,
well recollect the time when tins • ■ 1
was first brought in fashion;P P 11 ! 1 1
some of them had rashed on to 1 . ■
with it in their mouths! what 11 e ‘V ■ E
must have brought into taen’ j
Once it was considered as a . | ,[. )V ■ 1
true hearted Frenchman, to sing I
it, now, that of a traitor to h* s .fthet I 1
Thepe trifling incident's tend to sir ■ -
disposition of the. people. ■ t
We anchored 2n the bay ot W. , L | „
on the £l«t, Tb* Island
