 — that one magistrate, Mr. Lawlor, 

 was fined one thousand pounds for 

 his disregard of the judge's order, 

 the Baron delaying till the next 

 evening to express his determina- 

 tion with respect to Mr. Duma.'?, 

 sen. at whose conduct he testified

The New York Commercial Ad- 

 vertiser of the 9th contains the 

 following paragraph ! — 



Naval Forces on the Lakes. — It 

 has been published, that the Bri- 

 tish are dismantling their vessels 

 upon the Lakes. This, we learn 

 from good authority, is in pursu- 

 ance of a mutual understanding 

 between the .American and British 

 governments, that neither power 

 sliall retain more than two re\'t>- 

 hue cutteis of two guns each, on 

 either lake, in service ; and that 

 six months' notice shall be given 

 by either of an intention to aug- 

 ment this force. In this arrange- 

 rtient the interests of the two go- 

 vernments are mutually promoted, 

 and many occasions of coUisicm 

 and jealousy avoided. It saves a 

 great expense to both, and is ije- 

 sldes an evidence of confidence 

 and good will which it is the in- 

 terest of both to promote. 



13. On Wednesday afternoon, 

 siibout two o'clo(?k, as a caravan 

 with the stupendous elejdiant was 

 Coming from the fair, one of the 

 wheels accidentally became fast- 

 ened In a gutter by tlie side of 

 that very steej) i)art of the road 

 jiist below Spencer's Belle Vue. 

 liotli the hind wheels had been 

 diagged ; and the driver, instead 

 of loosening one of thcni, endea- 



voured to extncate tte' eritangletl' 

 wheel by a sudden jerk. This, it 

 is supposed, discomposed the un- 

 wieldy tenant of the vehicle ; 

 which instantly upset with a tre- 

 mendous crash, fell on one of the 

 shaft horses, and killed the fine 

 animal almost instantly. The ele- 

 phant became unmanageable even 

 by his keeper, and after many 

 useless efforts to lift tlie carav'an, 

 it was deemed proper to let it re- 

 main in its fallen state till the 

 middle of the night ; when tlie 

 animal was enticed by large pieces' 

 of bread and buckets of water 

 into an adjacent coach-house, and 

 the vehicle was taken away to un- 

 dergo the extensive repairs ren- 

 dered necessary by the accident. —

14. Winshaden (PrincijjdHty of 

 Nassau). — The union of the Re- 

 formed and Lutheran churches, 

 which had so often be;3n attenipted 

 in vain, has been at length happily 

 eti'ected in the Duchy of Nassau, 

 in the following nianner.-^Tn dfe-' 

 liberating on the manner of cele- 

 brating the secidar festival of the 

 reformation, the two superintend- 

 ents-general, ]\Iuller and Grise, 

 had entertained the idea of giving 

 to it the greatest possible solem- 

 nity, by vinitirtg the U\o Protes- 

 tant coiumunions. The reigning 

 Duke having adbj)ted this idea 

 with a particular satisfaction, 

 caused a general Synod to be con- 

 voked, composed of the two su- 

 perintendents, of all the inspec- 

 tors, and of 38 pastors, among 

 whoiil were '20 Lutherans and IS 

 reformed. This Synod held their 

 sittings on thi? 5lh and 9th of 

 August in jiresence of a Ducal 

 coniinission. As all scholastic sub- 

 tlietleS were avoided, the discus-
