The late Rev.O. Manning was twice laid out for interment, and afterwards revived. In the second instance a poor old woman, watching, heard a slight noise, and to her horror and astonishment saw the head of the supposed corpse raised and looking at her; she immediately rushed down stairs in her fright, fell, and broke her leg, and a mortification ensuing, she died in a few days.

Lincoln's Inn, July 1, 1825
"MY DEAR SIR,

My services, such as they are, will be at their disposal.

"I have the honor to be, my dear Sir,

NEWPORT, July 1.- A considerable portion of the time of the Magistrates assembled in Petty Sessions at our Guildhall on Saturday last was occupied in hearing cases connected with the Revenue. - Geo. Lewis, a butcher, appeared to answer to an information for harbouring and concealing foreign brandy and foreign Geneva, which had been seized at his lodgings on the 11th of May last, by two Officers of Excise. Lewis admitted the liquor to be his at the time of the seizure, but protested against its being taken away, as it was a part of four gallon which he had a few days before purchased of a spirit merchant in this town, and for which he produced a permit. The officers, knowing that permits were frequently used to cover contraband goods, were not satisfied with Lewis's declaration, and proceeded to ascertain the strength of the spirits, in doing which they discovered that the brandy was very much darker in colour than any they had ever seen in a dealer's stock, upon which they seized both brandy and Geneva, and immediately took samples of it to the stores of the merchant from hence it was said to have been purchased. The brandy proved to be not only very much darker than that sent out with the permit, but considerably stronger, and the Geneva different in colour, but much weaker. Those facts having been clearly substantiated by the officers, and cellarman of the merchant, Lewis was found guilty, and fined in the mitigated penalty of �25. which has been paid. The Magistrates took occasion to notice the practice of covering contraband goods by permits, which they said they were determined to prevent as far as they possibly could.- Wm. Woodnut, of Carisbrooke, was convicted of a similar offence, and fined �50. being his second conviction; and Robert Sparke, of Chale, and Jas. Blow, of this town, were also fined �25.

The merry bells in the different Churches, and hoisting of flags on Wednesday afternoon, having announced that Wadham Wyndham, Esq. one of the Representatives of our City, was on his return to the College, a large concourse of persons, anxious to testify their gratitude for his opposition to the late attempted innovations on our Protestant Constitution, met him near the confines of the city on the Southampton road, and having taken the horses from his carriage, drew him, amid the most enthusiastic cheering of the people and greetings of his friends, through the principal streets to his residence, preceded by an excellent band of music, and placards inscribed "Church and State," "Wyndham for ever," &c. Arrived at his mansion, Mr.Wyndham expressed his thanks for the compliment paid to him, and the gratification he felt that his conduct in Parliament had received the approbation of his fellow citizens. The band then played God save the King, and with 3 times 3 heartfelt cheers, the numerous assemblage dispersed.
On the next morning a deputation of tradesmen attended at the College, and on being introduced to Mr.Wyndham, on of them addressed him thus:
"Sir, -At a period of no common interest, when questions have been agitated in Parliament which tended to alter the principles of the British Constitution in Church and State, the citizens of Salisbury feel proud in having in you, Sir, a representative whose sentiments on those subjects are in accordance with their own. Myself, and the individuals who accompany me, are therefore deputed to congratulate you on your arrival in this your native city, and most respectfully to offer this Address, which contains the thanks of the inhabitants of Salisbury for your endeavours to uphold the Protestant Ascendancy in these realms."
To which Mr.Wyndham replied :
"Gentlemen, -- For the cordial and flattering reception which you were pleased to give me on my return to Salisbury, and your politeness in presenting this expression of your sentiments, accept my sincere thanks, and allow me to observe, that my fellow-citizens' approbation of my conduct in Parliament is highly gratifying, and will ever be remembered by me. Respecting the Catholic Question, I assure you that my vote was not lightly given, nor until after the most mature deliberation on the important subject; for conscientiously differing from the opinion of many valued friends on this point, it demanded and received my most serious consideration; and the more I weighed the question in my mind, the more l felt convinced of the necessity of opposing the measure; for depend upon it, should the Bill ever pass into a law, that sooner or later, consequences must arise that will endanger the safety our present constitution."
The following is a copy of the Address, which was both numerously and respectably signed:
"To Wadham Wyndham, Esq. one of the Representatives of the city of New Sarum, in the county of Wilts.
"Sir, -- For your support of the Parliamentary measures which we conceive are calculated to place our finances on a solid basis, and maintain the dignified position which Great Britain has attained in the polities of Europe; but in a more especial manner for your efforts to uphold the Protestant Ascendancy in these Realms, and which appears not more expedient to preserve the principles established at the glorious Revolution, than to continue the unbounded exercise of religious opinion, be pleased to accept the public thanks of the inhabitants of Salisbury."

On Tuesday evening, as Edwin Sparks, a fine boy about 3 years of age was playing near the fire with some bits of paper, his clothes caught fire, and before his mother, who had left the room but a minute before, could extinguish it, he was burnt so much as to occasion his death in 24 hours. He was the second son of Mr.Sparks, schoolmaster, at Haxon.

On Wednesday last, while Mr.Crockett was selling by auction the household furniture of Mr.Worthy, of Lavington, and was in the act of exclaiming, "going, going, I can dwell no longer upon this article, the floor of the room, which was over a cellar, suddenly gave way, and sunk nearly 3 feet. An indescribable consternation ensued: the company, with the exception of a few gentlemen, rushed simultaneously to the door; but they, with no very exalted notions of knight-errantry, leaped with the dexterity of harlequins through a window, leaving behind them a number of ladies. Many bonnets, shawls, parasols, &c. were afterwards picked up, affording sufficient evidence of the panic that had momentarily prevailed.

We noticed in our last weeks' Journal, amongst the numerous fires which had unfortunately taken place recently in different parts of the kingdom, a fire at Bourton, which consumed property belonging to Mr.Standerwick. Mr.S. although insured as to his house and offices, yet unfortunately had never fulfilled his intention of insuring the detached store-house where this accident happened. But the West of England Insurance Office, highly to their honor, most liberally interpreted their policy of insurance, and contributed handsomely by an immediate payment towards a reparation of the loss.

A poor man named Goldney, of the parish of St.John's, Devizes, while he was about to partake of some supper on Sunday evening the 26th ult. suddenly exclaimed "O, how I do shiver!" and fell to the ground a corpse. The poor fellow had formerly been a chaise driver.

A RATTLE SNAKE GORGING A RABBIT !

THIS rare and most interesting Exhibition will take place on Monday the 4th of July, 1825, in the Great Room at the Three Swans Inn, Salisbury, precisely at 12 o'clock at noon. The Reptile forms part of a Collection of Natural Curiosities that has been for some time past exhibited in High-street, and it will be removed to the above large room in order to afford to a numerous assemblage the opportunity of witnessing a spectacle that will assuredly excite the most intense interest and astonishment. This venomous serpent is the only one that has been known to gorge in this kingdom, and is of the species called the Swamp or Green Rattle Snake. It has swallowed rabbits, in the presence of numerous spectators, at Bath, Oxford, and Manchester, and it has now been six weeks without food.
When the Rabbit is caged with the Snake, the latter, erecting his head and neck, expands his dilatable jaws; erects his fangs, and with the quickness of lightning strikes the trembling animal; he will then encircle the rabbit in his folds, licking and smelling, and occasionally gaping, as if to adapt his jaws for a capacious swallow ! During the act of gorging, the neck of the Snake, will be greatly distended, his colour changed, and his scales elevated, exhibiting the Reptile in a situation very rarely seen. - Admission to the above 2s.

The Exhibition in High-street, which affords the highest gratification to the Curious, will be open only a few days longer, - Admission to servants and children 6d.

FAREHAM ACADEMY.

MR.SEXEY, with best thanks to his Friends for their liberal patronage, begs to inform them and the Public, that the duties of his SCHOOL will commence on Monday July 18th.
The Terms are low, but Mr.S. considers that the respectability of his connexions, and the success which has attended his undertaking, will remove any prejudice that may arise from the apparent inconsistency between moderate charges, and a liberal plan in regard to the instruction and domestic treatment of the Pupils.
The Young Gentlemen have the range of a field most conveniently connected with the house for a Play-ground, which also affords advantages in other respects that are very desirable in an establishment of this kind.
Cards of Terms and highly respectable references may be obtained by applying at the Academy.
