Such an event, at the period of the meeting of the Ecclesiastical Council at Paris, may give room for various reflec tions. It is rather singular, That we have heard nothing farther of the proceedings of this Council, than the ceremonies which accompanied its opening. It is probable that it may not have proved quite so complaisant as was expected. The Bishop of CHICHESTER, in his late visitation, held at St. Michael's Church, Lewes, delivered a charge to the Clergy, in which he regretted that no beneficial change, either in the political or religious world, had been felt since he had last the honour et addressing his brethren. Some attention had been paid by the Legislature to the cause of religion and the esteleneLment, by sums of money voted to the poorer Clergy ; but the clamorous spirit ot the Irish Catholics, and the rapid increase id Dissenters and Sectaries within the last few years, made him fear, that, before long, the religion the Church of E n - 4 e' land would ne more be the religion of the majority of the nation. He concluded by exhortieg the Clertyy,i by their precepts and their pract:ce, to viedicete their] character from all misrepresentation, and preserve, as much as their efforts could effect it, an establishment,i whose overthrow would probably be accompanied by I the overthrow of the State. Saturday night, as one of the Highgate coaches was returning down the hill from West End Fair, laden with passengers, it broke down, when one of the passengers, a fimale, had her leg broken, and was Saturday an hopital. se'nnight, as a labouring man named Back, an inhabitant of Ringmer, was working at Glynde chalkpit, he ventured to pursue his dangerous occupation under an impending heap of chalk; which unfortunately fell 'on the poor man and crushed him to death. A dreadful accident heppened a few days since, at the Hotwells, Bristol. The men employed in blast ing the rocks blew up several mines in succession; but one of them missing fire, they conceived that the fai lure was occasioned by the touch-hole being too small. They accordingly determined to enlarge it, by chip ping away the sides with a steel instrument ; in doing which they imprudently neglected the precaution of wetting the charge, and a spark unfortunately falling into the chamber, the powder exploded instantly.— Of the two men at work, one had his skull fractured by a fragment of rock, and his companion had also his skull fractured, and a bend shattered to pieces. The heavy fall of rain, on Saturday, did much da- ' mage at Stamford. The Hunter's Bridge, at Ham bleton, was swept away, and the Vale of Catmos entirely inundated. Hay in swarth, cocks, and even several small stacks, were carried away by the impe tuosity of the flood. In the meadows about Barrow den, Wakerley, Harringworth, Thorpe, Caldecot, and Bringhurst, immense quantities of hay were carried away. Several thousand loads, it is supposed, have been destroyed. The water rose I'3 feet in less than four hours, in Wood Newton parish. Friday, was found drowned, in a pond, near his fa ther's house, at Flansham, Mr. W. Bridger, aged 19. It is supposed he was taken in a fit whilst angling. Sunday, the 14th instant, Charles Giddins, coach man to the Duke of Portland, was apprehended in passing through the burgh of Annan, with a break, a heavy carriage, and two single-horse caris, with bag gage, and fined by John Dalgleish, Esq. one of the present Magistrates of that burgh, in £lO Scots, with ss. expenses, fur profanatioa ot the Sabbath-day. Saturday Eliz. Edwards and Sarah Davies under went a final examination, at Hatton-Garden Office, charged with uttering a forged note for £5, purporting the same as being a bank of England note, knowing the same to be forged and counterfeited, when they were fully committed for trial. THE KING, " WINDSOR CATTLE, JULY 30. " The KING has passed another good night: in other respects lib MAJESTY remains the same. (Signed) " H. rim.rocia. " W. asszanesr. " E. WILLIS." The Duchess of Bitt;.:swlcK is nearly recovered from her late indispoiition. Her Royal Highness yesterday took an airing to Kensington Palace. The letters from St. Petersburgh, by the Anholt Mails, are expressed in terms highly favourable to the continuance of the interconm %vita Great 13ritain, through the medium of neutral vessels ; xud a great number of ships were eii!ier ladeA, or in a progress of loading, with valuable cargoes in the ports of Russia. _ _ We are also informed by a letter received yester day, dated the 19th inst. of a homeward-bound con voy of about 50 sail, then waiting a favourable wind, i in Hanno Bay. An edict, which has naturally produced a strong sensation in France, has also been kept out of the journals, by which no heiress possessed of the income of 6000 francs per annum (about £250) is to be al lowed to marry without the consent of the Emperor. It is understood that such marriages are to be confined to the military, unless by special indulgence. We have been favoured with an official paper from Bourdeaux by which it appears that not only those i Ames ican ships have been set at liberty by BONA wory, in the ports of France, which contained the property or produce of the United States, but also ships of whit)) the cargoes consisted of cocoa, coffee, logwood, bark, pepper, sugar, and other articles of Spanish and British colonial produce have been pr;. mitted to unload and reload without any obstruction, and every vessel which has arrived in France since the 2d November last has been placed under the same favourable circumstances. By a Gentleman who has arrived from Bilboa, we ore informed that King JOSEPH had re-entered Spain, with an escort of 2,600 men, which are the only troops of France that have passed the Pyrennees for a consi derable time. On reaching Vittoria, he assembled the Functionaries and Magistracy of the Province rf Biscay, when a Council was held which lasted six days. He left that fortress on the sth, and was re ceived at Burgos on the Bth instant, from whence he was to proceed to Valladolid, but it was expected that he would not for some tiroe visit Madrid. A person who has arrived from Coninna, and w.ho left it on the 16th instant, informs us, that the army of SANTOCILDES, who is opposed to BONNET with only 8000 men, is 21,000 strong, including POILIER'S division. .

IFINGTON, after a lingering indisposition of five years, which she bore with meekness, fortitude, and resigna tion. Few minds were more liberally er lowed by nature, or more highly embellished by cultivation. — ..Although perfection be not within our reach, yet she certainly made as near approaches to that state as could be attained by human nature ; being a truly Christian character : it is scarcely requisite to add, that, as a wife, a mother, and a friend, few ever yet surpassed her. Sir Wimaaas and his son are incon solable. Bacan.---There being no Court of Aldermen this day, the Lord Mayor, after inspecting the returns, ordered it to advance 2d. per Peck Loaf. Thursday a person named Light, was apprehended in Winchester, for stealing a mare from Forest-side, near Standstead, in Sussex, which he afterwards sold to Mr. White, stable keeper at Worthing. He has confessed the robbery, and is fully committed to Hor sham Gaol for trial. A melancholy accident occurred at Merton, near Chichester, on Saturday e'iiiiigiit : a servant of Joseph Goodman, Esq. named Edward Grover, while in the act of putting the harness on a horse, received a vio lent kick in the abdomen, and although surgical aid was instantly obtained, a tumefaction took place, which was followed by a mortification: the unfortu nate man languished in the most excruciating pain, *mil the following Monday, when be expired.

Mr. Oliver, the pedestrian, who started on Friday to go 100 miles in 24 hours, performed his task with • that sort of difficulty which none but a determined game man could have encountered, in ten minutes less than the given time. He arrived in London be fore two o'clock on Saturday morning, and in a trip. pled state, having, however, done the last ten mike in two hours. A skilful and determined battle took place on Pais ley Common, near Canterbury, on Saturday, between J. Dawson, a farmer, and Freeling, a teacher of the science, for 50 guineas a side.

A few days since a labouring man engaged plough ing in a field at Bignor, near Petworth, in Sussex, found the plotigh obstructed by a heavy stone, which he obtained assistance and removed ; it is of marble, and beneath it a flight of steps, of the same, leading to a large arched passage, when they discovered an entire Rotlian Bath, with tesselated pavement, in per fect preservation. 'rhe bath is of a hexagonal ferm i , surrounded with seats, in the centre is a met:line ripe —the bottom of the bath is about two fret bel.•w the pavement, and five feet wide ; the tesselated floor represents various figures in dancing attrudes, most beautifully wrought. In digging tarther, time; found a dolphin and various other antiquities of the most costly materials. It is supposed to be the it mains of a Roman Palace. A Rumen road has also been discovered leading through the field, and sup posed to extend much further, but it ie not at present suffered to be explored. A gentlemen in the vicinity has an ancient manuscript which particularly speaks of this place, and many attempts had been made to discover it, before it was so fortunately accomplished by accident. In this manuscript, many other curio skies are spoken of, which are expected to be disco vered on a further exploration. Pi rsons from all round the vicinity, have been to examine the place. A very considerable sum has been offered for the field on a. specule , ion, but refused. Early yesterday morning the premises of Mr. Jenkins, nurseryman, of the New-road, Mary-la-bentoe were broken open, and robbed of a l:orse and chaise.
