It is not generally known, that if apprentices who are bound after they attain the age of 14 years, enter into his Majesty's army, their masters cannot claim them back, a clause to that effect being in the Mutiny Act.
There is as yet no clue to the discovery of the name of the man whose body was last week found in the river at Bath, and who was supposed to be murdered. A handsome reward has been offered; and at the suggestion of the Mayor, whose exertions for the discovery have been most laudable, the body has been preserved in spirits; and in this state it now remains at Bathwick church-yard, for the purpose of being identified. The parish officers of Bathwick have issued an advertisement, stating that they have reason to believe that the corpse was brought into that or the adjoining parish for anatomical purposes, but subsequently abandoned; and they offer a reward of 50 guineas for a discovery of the person who stole the body.
A robin has hatched her young in a nest a few feet from and over the communion table, in the cathedral at Chichester. As service is regularly performed twice a day, her undisturbed sitting during the progress of incubation, and her maternal attention to her young, have been subjects if curiosity.

George Crew, formerly an acting Lieutenant in his Majesty's navy, was on Friday committed to Gosport bridewell, charged with marrying

lTALIAN STEEL PINS.- Some specimens of the common pins used by women in Italy, have been brought to England. They consist of steel wire stems, pointed like needles, hardened, and tempered, and polished. Their globular heads being formed by dipping them into melted glass of different colours; the they thus form exceedingly durable pins, infinitely preferable in that respect, and in the sharpness of their points, to the English brass or copper wire ones; neither will they bend nor become crooked like them. They were bought in Italy at the rate of fourteen for a farthing.
MICE:.- The manufacture of thread in Dunfermline, by mice, is stiIl carried on. The machinery is simple each mouse is placed in a common wire wheel, such as is to be seen frequently carried in the streets by foreigners, who exhibit them for half-pence. On one end of the axle on which the wheel turns, are placed two bobbins, containing single plied thread. The ends of this thread are passed through the eye of the heck in a common spinning wheel, the two twining into one as they pass, and are wound upon a wheel.
Mr.Hatton, the proprietor, calculates the earnings of each mouse at one farthing per day, and the oatmeal, (the only food he gives them) consumed by each at one half-penny for five weeks. They require no training - in fact the less tame they are they work the better, their labour being nothing else than the result of unsuccessful attempts to escape. A little catch on the wheel prevents the mice from turning it the wrong way, which would untwine the thread. They work very constantly particularly during the night. The time when they generally sleep is in the afternoon. Mr.H. tried rats, but they did not answer his purpose. -
Glasgow Chronicle
BALLOON ASCENT.- Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 6 o'clock,
Mr.Graham ascended in his balloon from Montpelier Gardens, Walworth, in the presence of numerous spectators, accompanied by
Capt.Capes, of the Honduras trade. It floated in sight for half an hour, pursuing a westerly direction. At Chelsea the balloon descended in a field, followed by numerous persons, and the Captain having alighted,
Mr.Graham said, "let go, my lads," and in ten minutes was out of sight; but he at length alighted near Morton, Surry, after a voyage of about an hour and a quarter.
A person named
Penny, a builder, was last week committed to prison, at Lewes, on a charge of assaulting his wife. He struck her with a stick over the right eye so as to divide the scalp, and denude the skull about an inch and a half. A
Mrs.Tickner, who witnessed the affray, was so dreadfully alarmed, that she survived the shock only an hour, and expired before surgical aid could reach her.
Nuisance - On Monday an action was brought by
Mr.Comyn, a linen-draper in the Strand, against
Mr.Clement, printer of the
Morning Chronicle, for a nuisance in having erected on his premises, adjoining the plaintiff's house, a steam-engine for working printing-presses, the noise of which put the plaintiff to inconvenience. by depriving him of the use of several rooms. The plaintiff's witnesses described the noise of the engine to be as great as that of a hackney coach; but the witnesses on the other side stated that this was an exaggerated description. The counsel for the defendant said he had laid out several thousand pounds in the erection of the engine, and if the verdict pronounced it a nuisance, no machinery could be applied to commerce in the metropolis. The jury, who had viewed the premises, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, --- damages £60.
WEYMOUTH, July 4.- During the late war Mr. John Harvey, of this town, submitted to Government a plan of the formation of a breakwater in the island of Portland, so as to make a complete harbour in the bay for his Majesty's men of war to ride at anchor in the most boisterous gales, and be enabled to put to sea when it would be impossible to effect it from Spithead; thus, in case of any future war, affording a complete check on the movements of an enemy's fleet.
Mr.Haviland, an engineer, has been at Portland for some days past, with a revised plan and drawings of this great national undertaking, and we understand he states, that it will be adopted as soon as he has made his report. Should this be the case, we hope Mr.Harvey will meet with the reward due to his merit.

The country is at this time particularly luxuriant and beautiful, and no part of it more so (says one of our correspondents) than the New Forest and the vicinity of the favourite little town of Lymington, where good society, excellent roads, and reasonable charges for all the necessaries of life, conduce so much to the convience and comfort of visitors or occasional residents.

The Vale of Blackmoor Association for the Protection of Property and the Prosecution of Crime.- The anniversary meeting of this Society was held at Sturminster Newton, on Tuesday the 31st instant. The
Rt.Hon.Lord Rivers, Patron; the
Rev.H.F. Yeatman, President, in the chair. After the accounts had been inspected and approved, and several new Members had been introduced, the President begged to congratulate the meeting upon the accession of Members which had that day taken place, and to express a hope that he should live long enough to witness the enrolment of every inhabitant of respectability in the Vale under the banners of that institution. He believed that prejudices were entertained by many honourable individuals against the Association, and he indeed had heard such expressed,
because that insitution confined their exertions to the prosecution of particular offences, and to such as were committed upon persons and property of individuals who were Members of the same only. He was much surprised at such arguments because these very individuals, if they wished to avail themselves of the advantages and protection which that Association afforded, had only to inscribe their names as Members on its books, and those advantages were immediately conferred. It would, indeed, be a very fine and high sounding undertaking on the part of the Association, if they were to attempt to carry a crusade and a system of knight errantry against crime and delinquency, be they committed within the county, or within the kingdom: there was, however,
one solid objection to such a plan if there were no other, and that was the want of finances to do so - an inability which he called on the objectors to remove, by immediately providing subscriptions in order to supply them. It appeared from the Treasurer's Report that they had Ninety Pounds in hand, the annua subscription having been lowered to the sum of five shillings from their having been no prosecution within the year, and with this sum, or double its amount, it was proposed, and gravely, to carry on the business of prosecution for the public ! -- He looked upon the subscriptions to this Association in the light of a VOLUNTARY TAX, in return for which they were entitled to receive certain advantages, and no man had a right to expect the one who did not contribute to the increase of the other. But this Association was productive of advantages in other points of view; in morals, as: in physics,
prevention was better than cure; and he appealed to several members who were present, whether
their property was not exempt from depredation, when that of their neighbours,
who were not members was exposed to, and suffering from, spoliation; and whether notorious characters had not been heard to say, that "It would not do to rob Mr. So
and So because he was a member of the Vale of Blackmoor Association." The fact was, that this was no new doctrine.
The Rev. Gentleman then distinctly stated it to be his opinion, and in it he was supported by that of the late
Sir Samuel Romilly, that one of the grand causes of the increase of crime arose from the uncertainty of punishment. He conceived, therefore, that any principle which would counteract such an evil must be deserving of consideration and support; and he conceived that as far as the
certainly of prosecution went, that Association effected much good. That such had been the case in his own division he most confidently asserted - not merely in the presence of those gentlemen who, as living in several of the parishes within that division, could answer loudly to the assertion - but he said it in the presence of their respected secretary,
Mr.Dashwood, who was clerk to the justices, and who could confirm his statement "That there never was, at least, within twenty years, to which period of time his recollection carried him, so little crime committed in that neighbourhood as at the present moment."
The Rev.Gentleman then concluded in the following words, "I now. Gentlemen, beg permission to avail myself of this opportunity to allude to a subject, which, though irrelevant to the subject matter before us, is one of great importance to us in other points of view. You are aware that on Whit Monday last a certain number of printed bills, calling upon the electors of
Great Britain to require at the approaching election pledges from their Members not to support, what is called, CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION, were circulated in this town pretty generally; and I find since, that they have found their way from one end of the county to the other. I have been informed by anonymous letters, and by friends in direct conversation, that I am considered to be the author of those bills. All that I shall say upon this occasion is, that I am not the author of those bills - that I have had no communication, direct or indirect, with the framers, printers, or circulators of the said bills - that I am profoundly ignorant of every thing relating to them
but their contents, - and which I learned for the first time on the day above mentioned in common with others when they were so distributed, -- Gentlemen, I shall not at this time say one single syllable upon the merits or demerits of this appeal to the electors of Great Britain, or upon the propriety of requiring any pledge from the future Members of this County."
BLANDFORD, June 1. -The inhabitants of this town have sustained a loss not easily repaired. The
Rev. S. H. Harrison. M.A. who for some time past has been actively engaged in the duties of the Church, (in consequence of the indisposition of the vicar,) has left his much attached hearers.The high estimation in which this worthy divine was held by all classes, for his unwearied exertions, and faithful discharge of his clerical duties, is in some degree proved, by the inhabitants having presented him a handsome piece of plate, with a suitable motto thereon, as a small tribute of their sincere regard and attachment to him as a man and a Christian.

Mrs. Francis; and the afternoon was spent in conviviality and brotherly love.
