M Y ST E III O U S D ISA P PK A It A N C E OF M R. WHITE. NEARLY two years ago Mr. W hite, of the Q'ladrani, by Regent sfreef, Smt'h to hit Majesty II) the IUlnnl.hllurnl and Cq\Í-tItIUarIOO of all his Iriends and creditors, suddenly disappeared anrf all the inquiries that have since been made res- peeling him, in every possible tlirectiou, have beeli vain. Hi. friends, creditors, and oilters, have-never been able tOllblain the remotest in- formation, or the most trifling hint respecting him. He Us in 80 excellent way of business, aud was well-circumstanced. Toe last uace or kfll)wled1i of him Wltl, tlHt he lefr hom!! for the purpose of going to--the Board of Works to r. ceive 600Z. and that he did go and receive such 6001; but whai became of hint afterwards, what course he took, nevercotild be ascertained. Thert were some rumours that he had gone to Liver- pool for the purpose ol proceeding to America and ti-s creditors got Mr. Beard (a man who had extensive dealings about bills, Ac., with Probert and Mr. White's brother-in-law) to go to Liver- pool in search of Mr. White. Mr. Beard imme- diately on his arrival announced such fact but five days afterwards he wrote and stated that he could learn nothing about Mr. White. The credi- tors uext sent Mr. White's foreman's son, Saun- ders, io Liverpool tjnd its neighbourhood on the like errand and he issued placards, and circu- lated them throughout Lancashire, &c., for the discovery of his master. The day afterwards a man wellt to Saunders, /10(1 \IBid Ihat (or 20/. [\1 r. White should he produced; that,he was con- cealed in Liverpool. The offer was ac(-el)fed- but the man never mure presented himself, nor con Id he afterwards he discovered. It may be needless to add that nothing co,ld be heard of Mr. White, though Saunders remained some time longer at Liveti),)ol, &c. to ena ilo the creditors to get possession of the property. Mr. White was made a bankrupt, and eveutually oijilawe(i- the proceedings being similar to those ill the re- cent, and also mysterious, case of the Rev. C. C. Col ton. Some Magistrates fatuongst others, those of Bow-street) have afforded some tidings of him. Recent events have given rise to fresh and alarming surmises. Mr. Bean), whose res- pectability is known, is stated to be oue of the in. dividuals who wasensiiared into transactions with Probert Mr. B., by his relationship io Mr. W. had facilities of kuowing that individual's affairs and proceedings and he might have incautiously cientioued, in the presence of Probett, or of some of Probert's party, the i) ature of Ni r. White's visit to the Board of Works. Thai might account for the sudden and at ysterious dis- appearance of Mr. White at leas t such is the surmiseamoogst his friends and creiditors, since the transactions that have come to light in con- sequence of the murder ot Mr. Wea re.

Trials of submersion in water, in various temperatures, and in oxygen, are (Itiiiletij When the worm was immersed in carl oil ic acid gas, it shed, shiuiug brilliantly in hydrogen, it continued to shine, and 11111 not seem to suffer. Mr. Murray infers, that file lit- minousness is independent,- not only of the rlti- piration, hut of the volition and vit-J ptincipie. Some of the luminous maitar obtained in a de- tached stale, was also subjected to various ex- perimen's, from which it appears to be a gumtuo- albuminous subs'siice, mixed with iHuriate of soda and sulphale,of alutuioe and potash, and to he c,,mpr 'ied of spheruics.

In consequence of this, the Pope forbade, for the time to come, that he should travel with any more attendants than were allowed hy the Council of Laterean, vix. 50 horses for the retinue of in Archbishop, 30 for a Bishop, a Legate 25, and an Archdeacnu only 7. According to the ancient usage of the churchi the Incumbents of benefices were obliged to maintain Archdeacons on thair visitations. Thcte veneratile functionaries were therefore sometimes tempted to travel with enormous re- tinues, which ate up, or as sporting men would say, cleared out the possessors of the smaller livings. To meet this abuse, Sxed oioney pay- ments were giiet, to the Archdeacons, in lieu of hospitality, utid the value of (tese niouey pay- ments having diminished in process of lime, is the cause of (he emoluments of these Digtlifaries heirg so much smaller than they were in ancient times Fives'CouRT.—There was some good spar ring on Tuesday for the benefit of Richmond the Black, and the attendance was numerous. The display or oratory was not less re.uparkabie than that of pugilism.

He again de. clared off fighting but he was so taunted, *j|j. fied, and abused, that he was bound to fight Lan- gan after which he was determined to leave off He asked £ 300 stake upon that occasion. f]e' did not wish to fight again but if any one-would him, it must he upon bis ovtn aside "od he was ready to put down Xl()() ihen to make II, and to fight within three months. Josh again got on the boards, and said-ihe Championship had been given to Spring. He (Jolh) had lought into fame, beginning at £ o, and then lens and twenties, till lie got to a hun- dred He did not understand about being backed for £ 500; he knew he could raise £ 200, not for Spring in particular, but for any iuau in the world. to try how tht)" would like him. Spring, in reply to the Championship having been given him, said he had been the next of kin to it for some time, and until big fatherlike friend resigned it he never aspiied to it • and iu seVei|i hundred years be never would have challenged Torn Crib until he left 'he title to be fought for. rh wished to leave off fighting if the people would let him. SWA'SEA, JAIQTJARY O.-WecolIgratulatt our townsmen on the immediate prospect of the opening of the whole line or the New Canal which is to connect this Port with tile Vale of Neatb, and with the rich country eastward up to the Brecon hills it is now navigable through nearly tha whole line, and may be expected to be in full action within a few weeks from this time. It extends nine miles in length, with a collateral cut of a mile on one level, without a rock, and passes under Neath Bridge, being n. parated from the river by solid masonry, over which the towing-path is carried; it is then raised by a single lock to the level of Neath Ca- nal, which U joins by, a stone aqueduct (of ten arches) over the River Neath, connected with another aqueduct of iron over a navigable stream adjoining,—the lock, with a bridge across the I canal, and the two aqueducts, present to the eye a line, measuring 170 yards in length, of the very best masonry, in causeways of stone from neigh- bouring quarries, not surpassed in. quality by any in Great Britain.
