GALLANT ACTION. In our last we adverted to the accounts lately received from the Mediterranean, by which it appeared that the boats of his Majesty's ship Naiad, Captain the Honour able Robert Spencer, had succeeded in destroying an Algerine vessel of war, under the batteries of Bona. We are happy to have it in our power to give now a more detailed account of this even:, written by an Officer on the spot. The public in general ate too apt to under value a bloodless enterprize, and to conceive that where no lives are lost there cannot have been much resist ance. We are persuaded, however, that every reader who peruses the following account will admit, that not only the success of the measure, but the safe return of the gallant Officers and men employed, are owing to the judgment with which the whole was planned, as well as to the discretion and spirit displayed in thb exe cution; and that any defect in the one or the other, would have proved fatal to the enterprise, and destruc tive of numberless valuable lives. In these " piping times of peace," it is very gratifying to see that the judgment and courage of our Officers and men are as true as ever ; not that we could ever doubt of their being so. but it is pleasing to see it so nobly illustrated. The writer observes: " We anchored after dark pretty close off the town, and the boats were sent away under command of Lieut. Quin. Owing to the darkness, and to the boats having taken a circuitous route, they did not reach the town until late, and then got on board a large 16-gun brig of war; they soon set her in a blaze. At day-light she had burned to the water's edge, she soon blew up, and sunk in deep water, se that by seven in the morning there was no vestige of her left in sight. She was strongly moored head and stern with chains, at the dis tance of twenty yards from the fortress, on which were mounted forty pieces of cannon, none of which were farther than canister range, and some within her own length. The garrison consisted of 4.00 men, who were stationed with musket: y at the embrasures, which looked down on the brig's decks: in short, the position was one of extraordinary strength. Nevertheless, the good order and regularity of our men, and the judicious manner in which the approach was made, were such, that they got alongside, or nearly so, unperceived; not a whisper was heard till the enemy's first discharge of grape shot, which was answered by three cheers. A terrible fire was from this moment kept up, but Lima. Qain and his gallant companions did not leave her till she was fairly on fire fore and aft, and so hot that they were obliged to return to their boats. Not one was killed, and only a few slightly hurt. Strict orders were given by Captain Spencer, who suspected her situation to be what it proved, not to attempt bringing out the vessel ; and it was fortunate that his orders on this point were imperative, since, had any discretion been left, an endeavour to cut her out would have been made,which, Considering the manner in which she was secured to the walls by chains, must have led to the useless destruction of many valuable lives. The brig was entirely empty, and in consequence floated so high out of the water, that she was boarded with difficulty; but everything was so well arranged previously, that no confusion took place, and in all its parts no enterprize could ever have been ',lore complete and satisfactory in its result." —Hampshire Telegraph. Saturday, twenty-five ~ conv arrived at the Hulks , `at Chatham ; upwards of 400 of them are at that place, employed on the different establishments. Den mar FlONTlNe.—Thursday an Inquest was held at the Ship and Belhat Herndean, before Mr. Longcroft, Coroner, on view of the body of Stephen Tee, a young man who was killed in a pugilistic contest with a youth, of the name of Mark Hobbs. It appeared in evidence, that there had been a dispute between the parties, and on Sunday se'nnight the deceased went to a stable where Hobbs was, and striking him a violent blow in the face, used every means he could to induct Hobbs to fight, which he would not do, as it was Sunday, and about the time persons were coming out of Church. As Hobbs would not fight then, the deceased proposed that they should meet on the following Tuesday evening, on Horndean Down, and have it out, which being agreed to by Hobbs, they met accordingly, and being perfect novices in the art, they commenced fighting in their shirt,, and unattended by seconds. After fighting a hard rough battle for about three-quarters of an hour, without much advantage on either side, in a close they loth fell heavily to the ground, and in the fall, the neck of the deceased was completely dislocated : on being raised up, his head fell on one side, he never spoke after wards, and died in less than half an hour. The deceased but too truly predicted his own fate when he was heard to say, as he was going to the ground, II If I don't lick Nark, I'll be carried off the Down."—TheJury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Mark Hobbs, who has been apprehended and committed to Winchester under the Coroner's warrant. FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF A QUARREL BETWEEN A MOTHER AND A Sou.—Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, on the Slst ult. an unusual bustle was created in Aylesbury, by a rumour that Edward Hounslow, la. bourer, had murdered his mother, Martha Garner, of the above place, widow. Numbers of persons hastened to the residence of the unfortunate woman, which is si tuated about the centre of a lane leading from the Nag's Head public-house to the Buckingham-road, and near the bottom of Cambridge-place. On inquiry they were informed by the neighbours that the deceased, Martha Garner, who appeared about 65 years of age, had been at hay work during the day, and on her return in the evening fell into a quarrel with her (natural) son, Houns low, with whom the deceased lived. What the nature of the quarrel was did not appear, but about nine o'clock the mother was seen to come with violence from the door of her cottage, and fall on a sharp post at the end of a stile, which is placed about two yards from and in front of the door. She was heard to say in a feeble voice, ag Fetch—fetch George." It is supposed she meant another son, and almost instantly expired. Hounslow, teeing in what a state she was, called to her, and said, 6 4 Mother, do come in !" But, fearing the fall had proved fatal, he, assisted by Mrs. Collins, a neighbour, carried her into the house, fell on his knees, begged of the A LMICHITT to restore her, tore his hair from his head, and became almost insensible. Mr. Ceely, a surgeon, was sent for shortly afterwards, but too late to render any assistance, as he found the deceased had expired.— Mr. Ceely directed a - neighbour to fetch Cross, the con stable, to take Hounslow in custody. Cross :eon ar rived, and took Hounslow to the Black Boy public house, where he was kept in the custody of two head• boroughs, to wait the decision of the Coroner's Inquest. An Inquest was held on Monday, at which it appeared from the evidence, that the fall had been accidental, and that the son was overwhelmed with affliction on the occa sion. The Jury returned a verdict of. Accidattal Death. 071117JUIZTYand CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE: CAMBRIDGE, AUGUST 6. Messrs. Gawp Oshawa Tewnsitind and Warm et .

We are glad to see that the plan of forming an exten sive terrace from Waterloo is Westminster Bridge has been seriously taken up, and shall be happy to witness its completion. There can be no treater addition to the health and ornament of a city than a tide river ; and the Thames may fair ly rival .any other in these respects. Trade is not itself very ornamental, and mer cantile people, who stew so much taste in their villas, bestow but little of it upon their wharfs and quays. Yet the new Custom-house, and some other buildings on the river, shew that taste and utility are not inseparable. The business carded on does not present any insur mountable objection to the plan. Any one who looks at the way in which the craft above bridge is at present moored, must perceive that it is very detrimental to the free currents of the stream, that it tends to increase the banks and shoals which impede navigation, nd that there is no doubt but that it might be broug ht into a I much smaller and less unsightly space. We believe there was originally a free passage left for the Public along the whole of the fiorth side of the river, bath which has been encroached upon by degrees (thanks to the Conservators), so as to be now almost entirely lost. That which has been taken without right may, we suppose, be rightfully retaken. Independent of the ad dition such an improvement would make to the general appearance of the Metropolis, we know of nothing that would more effectually insure the health of the inhabi tants than that the current of the river and its banks should be freed from obstructions and encroachments. This would be a work worthy of national patronage. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Duke Ormsby, Esq. who occasionally resides at one of his houses in Ballina, took a drive in his gig Thursday along the river, accompanied by Mrs. Ormsby, the wife of Doctor An drew Ormsby; after passing the Ice-house, at the Salmon Fishery, the horse took fright and darted suddenly down the preci pice into the river. The Lady's thigh bone was broken, I and she has been otherwise seriously injured ; some hopes are entertained of her recovery. Mr. Ormsby's left thigh was broken in several place: t end presented a dreadful spectacle. The project of a navigable canal from Arbroath to Forfar, and thence along the valley -of Strathmore to Perth, is in agitation among the Landholders and Ma gistrates of that part of Forfarshire through which it is intended to pass. EXTRAORDINARY OPERATION.—We related a short time since, an extraordinary operation which was per formed at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, in Canter bury, upon a man whose sound thigh bone was CU opal, and an old decayed bone safely extracted. This man is now so much recovered, as to be walking sheet this streets of Canterbury. We have saw to record 060 al most as extraordinary, and which has been attended with the happiest' results. A patient was teeeived some, time since with a very bad case of diseased liver. After some time, the case assumed the worst possible appear ance, and it was resolved, as the only chance of pre serving .life, to tan the liver. The operation was ably performed by Mr. FITCH, senior surgeon of that Insti tution, in presence of other Gentlemen of the Faculty, connected with the Establishment. Upon the liver being touched, upwards of five pints of diseased matter immediately flowed from the wound ! A tube, nine inches in length, was then introduced and retained in the wound, through which a pint of the 'same fluid was daily evacuated for a week ! After all his sufferings, the poor man is getting quite well. These are addi tional reasons why that excellent Institution should be well supported.--Kentish Gazette. The young man named Lowe, who made so conspi cuous a figure at Marlborough-street Office, some short time since, where he appeared in a military dress, hies, we understand, obtained his liberation. His father it appears has settled the creditors' claims, and has sue ceeded in obtaining his discharge from the Regiment to which he belonged. A melancholy accident took place yesterda7.--As three respectable young men were returning from Rich mond, near Battersea-bi edge, by a sudden gust of wind the boat was upset, when all three were precipitated into the water y and we regret to state that one of them met a watery grave. His name was said to be Henry Holmes, of Ps rnce's-street, Leicester-square. The others were rescued by the prompt assistance of some Gentle men, who jumped from their own boat and saved them.

Mr. Bicherdson, the Solicitor to Earl Cowper, stated that a yeasts female had gene on Thursday night to the prison at Berthed, to alit James Davis. who lies* there under sentence of death, and that a commnsicadon was made to her there by that person, wig* if it was tree, would be of the unmet importance, as it charged Gre gory directly with having plumed and imperiatended the arrange ments for the robbery. Matilda Blanchard stated, that she bad been servant at Dodfield's house, in Shire-lane, and that she had known Gregory eight or nine months. She lived with the convicted prisoner, Davis, at the time, and Davis and Gregory were constantly together. Bill Jones, who was concerned in the robbery, but was not yet found, told witness that Gregory was the " putter up" to the robbery, and it was a thing spoken of at Dudkeld's the day after the robbery. On the Thursday after the robbery she heard Midfield counting the money which was plundered, and heard a conversation to the same effect. The Loan Maven asked her whether the robbery was spoken of openly before her by Midfield 7—She replied in the affirmative. Mr. Hosimeams, the Solicitor for the prisoner. begged that the Lord Mayor would hesitate before he detained Gregory upon such evidence. He had seen the woman who so positively stated those things, at Hertford. before the Reverend Mr. Loyd, and that Gen. &man would not permit her to be examined as a witness, so loose an opinion did he entertain of her veracity. The Loss, Mason considered the case too full of suspicion to be discharged without a most minute investigation. Davis was now ender sentence of death, and as persons in that condition often ac knowledge the silent of their plans, and the names of their corn panions, to those with whom they have lived to o close' intimacy. it might not be unreasonable to suppose that the information given by Davis to this woman was correct. He did not now determine to commit the prisoner for trial, but should remand him for further examination. He was confident, in the attendee*, that every necessarreurden would be made by the City officers, for bringing forward further evidence. M A R LBOROUGH-STREET. Colonel Wardle made a complaint to the Magistrate (Mr.Dirsa) of the conduct of one of the persons connected with the Mail Coach Establishment of Mn Fagg, of the Bell and Crown, Holborn. The Colonel said that ho came to town in one of the Mails, and having stopped at the Gloucester Coffee-house, was desirous of having pos session of his luggage; it consisted of a travelling-bag and a paper parcel, the latter of which be heard had been deposited in the im perial; a man had got up to look for it, and he did so himself, when another person interfered, applied improper language, and said if be did not get down he would break his neck. There bad been no further assault committed, but he was desirous of having the man punished, and also to have his luggage returned. Mr. Dees recommended the Colonel to apply to the City Magis trates, when a summons would be granted for the restoration of the parcel, and the man's conduct would be inquired into. R. Houseman was charged by Mr. Wilkins, an apothecary, of Chapel-court, South Audley-street, for being concerned with a per son named Irving. in the sego ciation of some bills of exchange, without any reasonable expectation of settling the same. A second charge was also made against the prisoner, for forging Mr. Wil kins's signature to a note, whereby be obta ined bk from Mr. Du hours, a coffee-boost keeper in the Haymarket. Ms. Wilkins produced five or six bills, drawn by persons in Liverpool and Manchester; after a variety of indorsements they appeared to have come into the bands of Irving. The prisoner had introduced Irving to him and after a short acquaintance the bills had been indorsed by him, and cashed by thp complainant. Being unable to obtain payment of them when they became due, be considered he could charge the prisoner with combining with Irving to defraud him of the Money.—The Mag atrate was of a different opinion. Mr. Wilkins then called Mr. Dubourg, who proved that about a mush since, the prisoner came to his house, saying he came from Mr. Wilkins, and delivered a note purporting to have been written by him. The note contained a cheque, and was a request made by Mr. Wilkins that Mr. Dubourg wood pay it, which be did. Mr. Wilkins said the signature was not his band-writing.
