Ile said, that it' I would only give it to him, he ivould read it, and natal as much in need of et as the Maloniedansdid. Ills brethren made intercession for him. and &ill.

After stnne heotation on my part. but anxiety on theirs, I thlaglit it mig:it be of advantage to the young mac, and therefore pile it to , and exhorted him to read it. No sooner had he re:saved it. than another Jew sat down beside me, and read the New Testament thatimly. and insisted that I should give him a copy also. This Jew was • fanit Kaki:hese:rid. and intornied me that he had sold Mr. Po:action a Tartar Bible in Hebrew characters for two hundred 'tables. After a considerable deal of CORVerSittilM, 1 gave him like wise a New Testament. Ile not istly read it with the geentest ease, •but evidently understood what he read. Ile offered to sell me another Tartar Bible; but as Mr. Pinkerton had already purchased a copy. I did not think it advisable to buy another.

After such expml:4loll4, I could not withold it front him any longer, but gave it to hint a. the word of God, and exhorted him toread it. There were more than twenty Je.vs in this company, and I conversed with them more than a hoar. In the evening several other Jews made applica tion for books ; but nay stock being so low i could not grittily . their desire, but promised to get copies sent to them from Theodosios I 'could have given away many copies of the Scripture to •diy, and was sorry that I had sent the whole. commission to 'lheodosia.

Mr. Paterson then gave them a summary account of the lii.tory of Christ, and dwelt particularly on the cessation of sacrifices among the Jews. concluding with .Mituig the resurrection of Christ, his ascension. and the certainty of his .canting to judgment.' Wheal had proceeded thus tar, says he, the • man tram Uakellesetai, and a• few more, joined the ewitpany, and 1 • doired hint to read to his countrymen the translation of the fifty `third chapter of Isaiah, oontained in one of our tracts, which he im mediately did. One or two of them appeared to be impressed with what was said. and expressed themselves that the Messiah was come, and that it was in rain to look for any other." MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The Reports from every part of the eonntry, as far as eon earns its resources, culture and growing crops, are simply those of the most encouraging prosperity. We have been firtenate, for some years pa.t, in favuurable autumnal sea son• : but, probably, the oldest man in existence cannot recollect, slating Irons the tint week in September, to the present dd', a latter season equal, to the present. The present writer, a constant and attentive observer or the weather, can answer for Intl A years. Ruses and flowers in hilt bloom, strawberries, cucu 'Wien, peas, cauliflowers, contribute to deck cot and cater for this dclighttulautumu. Bosh the pastureN and the stubbles afford In xuciant and pleutiful food tor-sheep: and the straw yard %via be a very late resource. Gress has been so high as to be laid, and has been mown within the present month. The cows yield a summer dose of II ilk, and the butter produced is excellent in quality. 'Early turnips generally good, and those not sown later than mid August prove beyond expectatiou. Latter potatoes have riseu well. The cattle crops, rye, tares, ite. were never more promisiug. The wheat looks well on all, and is as forward on rich warm soils as to some seasons in the month of May. 'llse apprehen. 'sion that the luxuriance of the plant may exhaust it, has in •tluced the practice in many parts of eating the wheat off with sheep, a custom hitherto unknown in &ultimo. An American paper gives the following anecdote.—A gentleman of the bar in a neighbounng county, in easy circumstances, and pretty good practise, had rendered himself somewhat remarkable by attempts in the way of mattitnowill tweculation. A maiden, rather advanced in years, rending :Some miles "slant in the neighbourhood, bearing of this lawyer's speenhuing propensity, that his character was unexcep • tionable, and his life tolerably good, resolved upon making him her h us band. She hit upon the follo wing expedient :—She pretended suddenly to be taken very ill, and sent for the man of the law to draw her will. He attended for that purpose. By her will she devised 10.0001. in the bank stock, to be divided among her three cousins,: tome thousands in bonds and notes to a river—as vast t en d e d estates to a favourite nephew. The will being finished, she gave the law yer a very liberal fee, and enjoined seeresy of him for smite pretended pur po s e.-- Thu..precluding him from an inquiry into her real circum -stances. Need I mention the result ? in a f innight, the lady thought proper to be again restored to health. The lawyer sailed to congratulate her on her restoration, and begged permission tesvisit her, which was politely given. After a short courtship, the ilesired offer was made. The bargain was concluded, add ratified by the Priest. The lawyer's whole mats by his wife consists of an antaisy of 65 dollars. 'ALE OF IitiONAPARTei HORSlA.—Tattersall'r.

Mr. Kelly opened the ease, and Mr. Adolphus stated it to the Jury. Ife commenced by observing, that this rase, thoti4is rather a singular one, was not' one of finite novelly, for there was nothing new under the sun. It was it chat ge against a noblemen of•ititlb rank iii the sister kingdom, ai.4l of similar rank in this, save the pats ilhte of sitting and voting as a Peer of Parliament ; mid the runny* imented ko him were assent., false imprisonment, and es ter tian of a soon of floury from tour y ou ng gentlemen, tinder circumstances, to obi. h he shovels have to allude, of no of. dinary aggravation. The gentleman (Mr. Hall) who brought the prosecution, and the other yrfing se-sidemen who were concerned in it, had no vindictive motive in it. Their twin- cipal object was, that impartial justice should take its courNe, and that their•nnnies should he rescued from the ineptitude's of having tamely siihntitted to unmerited insult, medley might add outrage; and here he-felt it thee to the Challactrr of those young gentlemen to state, that had the moderate but tamely course which they ps °posed been pursued ; had that lustily. and dignified trellis' which shooed characterise the conoltser of a nobleman been adopted, lilt the other side, the Case might long since have been -settled, and never have met the public eye. But that would not satisfy Lord Itanelagh; he had nea,le his election,'ise had chorea to conic into Cosset, and as that was his wish, he shouid take its cusisespiences upon' himself. lie should submit to hear the whole tenth of the tnatter come out—weds, *ldris, if lee (Mr. Adolphus) were rightly hist acted. would not be very pleasant to his t'eelings. —troth, which, without (Meriting dm -rank Whith his •Lroseb ship held in 'secietv, would not lie unmindliel of the highly respectable rank of the grist kitten who had been injared, and. of the character, equal at least in honour to that of his Lord.' ship. He wonld leave his Lordship for a moment, sued state to the jury who the gentleman well by whom, on his own behalf, cud that of his friends, the present prosecution was brought. He was a gentleman es respectable as Lord Raise high as any other stern. He was the son of a most respectable gentieman, the Rev. Mr. Hall, of Her, fortbisire ; and he was of the liberal prolession—" of our profession," continued Mr. Adolphus, "mud God turbid that I should ever crouch so iuw as to admit that it was inferior to any in society." The other gentlemen concerned in the prosecution were all of them highly respectable. What the defence which would he set up was, lie you'd not anticipate. It would appear to them in evidence, that Mr. Hall nod his three young friends bad, in the month ofJoiy last, taken a boat and proceeded up the Thames •011 a party of pleasure. %Viten they bad reached near that part where Lord Ranelagles residence was situated, which was nut far trout Putties-bridge, they were overtakes' by a violent storm of thunder sued fall., which obliged them to run their boat into Use first convenieut spot they could find for that purpose. This happened to be part of the Noble Lord's hind. Here they took 'shelter ender a large tree fur a while, and eller the inclemency of the weather had subsided, they sat down on the grass-plat, to partake of some slight re -freshluemt which they had brought with them. During this very , abort repast, some of the party amused themselves by . singing. They had finished, and were about to return to their boat, when they saw a man with a double-barrelled gun coueing towards them, whom they at first took to lie a game keeper, but who turned out to be no other than Lord Raise high himself. He was followed by two of his tits armed with immense bludgeons, such as were used by the natives of the Sandwich Islands. Three others of his servants were seen coining in another direction, one armed with a pitchfork, and the others with souse other weapons of offence. When bis Lordship approached, he demanded, in no very mild tone, what they did there ? and being answered they lead taken shelter •frons a thunder storm, and had no intention of- eons. milting any trespass, be asked who and what they were 1 To this Mr. Hall replied, that they were gentlemen; and re ; pealed his declaration of no intended harm on-their part. His Lordship remarked, that he had of late been much annoyed by the rabbet coming out his grounds, bat that lie was snore I annoyed by the well-dressed rabble, than by any other. He followed that remark up by stating, that they were not gentlemen, that they should follow his servants to Boa-street to answer tar their conduct. After some other observations on both sides, which erossid appear in evidence, Mr. Hall and iris party were .shout to proceed to their boat, when, by a signal trouts Lord Rissielagli, two of his -servants,• one aimed with a pitchfork and the other wills a club, stepped before them aged opposed their departure. Some further conversa tion thee took place during the time they were detained, which was about 20 minutes, and it ended in a declaration front Lord liaatelagh, that. he would let tbens go about their business, but that they should fiat give sense compensation to his servants fur their trouble. This the gentlemen, seeing the very unpleasant situation in which they stood, consented to dootud they gavels. to one of the servants in his Lordship's presence, and were then antlered to depart. A few days After this had passed, application was made by letter to his Lordship, stating the inteution Of the parties to have recourse to the law, if he Ji4 not acknowledge the iR-treattetoat he had. given theta, and snake some apology. This was sent by a •special messengers hat the Noble Lord would not le-sen Wa bash dignity by condesceadiug to return any answer. Another coontn tttt iCall tttt was made, and with, the same success. At length, the *Stair •was laid beiosre She Magistrates at Bow street ; auti (ass we.Aseder•tooti Mr. Adolpifo,e) his Lordship gave an ornelarsakiog, that lie and his servants would appear there to answer any charge.

Hera, after ✓emaining for a short time, we bronaist f the boat aunt. bread and beef and some porter,whielo we partook of. We were only a few yards from the water. There was a pathway behind the tree; and immediately behind that, a ditch and hedge. Our piovisions were contained in a Milan I 1111 l the.; we had uo wine nor spirits. . Alter we had liuished o u r repast, we were about to return to the boat, wheal saw a-ntaa coming towards us. with a large tiliidgeou in his hand, and accompanied by a dog. He addressed himself In Its and said that my Lord was gnite surprised at our conduct in coming to trespass on his grounds. One of my companions asked who was my Lord ; to which he replied " My Lurd Ranelagly on whose ground you uow are." At this timed saw two other nien coining down towards us, armed in a similar manner. There were, besides, three men wangle in the same direction front another part of the gritends. One of these hail a double barrelled gun, and another with a pitchfork. The bl u d geons appeared ta.me.lndiati clubs. The man with the pitchfork saute on one side ; those with the chihs on the other ; anJ he who held the gun. whom 1 found to be Lord Ranelagli, advanced in front of us. Wheu I saw him up prOatil I proceeded tow-aryls hina,.but he called out in a loud voice," Halloo, what businew have you there?—you must know that you are committing a irespays. To this I answer ed. that we had been driven to the place-for shelter from the storm ; that we had not intended to do, nor lied we done any harm, but that we world then.go away, and were very sorry fir having evon unintentionally committed a trespass by coining on his grounds. After this,l stepped forward to go towards the boat ; but Lord Ranelagli waved his hand, and two men immediately ran betweeu Ow boat and we. One of them presented the pitch..furic at me, and refused to let me pass. 'fhis interference on the part of the men eppeared to toe to be entirely caused by L"rd Ranelagli's motion of the hand. Immediately on my being stopped, his Lurdship said, "'No, no, I wont let you off .so easily ; you shall Tallow my servants to Bow Street, to answer fur your eu ti d oc t ; r oe took another set of fellows there the other day." At tine time, the nicu had so placed thetnselvaa, as to have us be tween them. I answered, that We were perfectly willing to go any where lo answer for what we had done ; tar that-we wet e not conscious of having connuitted any act which was was cognizable by law. Lord Ranelagli replied," Yoo m o st have known that these arc test premiums, and that on had no right to enter them without my consent.;" and he followed Otte, by asking" Who are your" I said, we were gentlemen ; and as such, I presented him my card, telltale him at the same time that he womb , find from that address, what I said to he correct. I also gave the int:netted address of the gentlemen to whom I am serving hi!, clerkship. He theu asked Mr. Waldo who lie woe. To %snick Mr. Waldo made a similar answer, and tefereed bins for its truth to alr. Scutt, a magic trate of Hammersmith, who was Iris-friend. About twenty minutes then elapsed, which were tilled up with a long con versation, in which he endeavoured to prove, and I to dis prove, the impropriety of my conduct.
