His Lordship received them at his residence in Hamilton- plsee, with the most distinguished kindness and urba. nity. Alter taking refreshment, the company retired. The weather has bt en as tempestuous on the Conti nent as in this cuuntry, and the districts s'tuated on the great livers have been threatened with calamities simi- tar to those from which they suffered so severely last year. The Rhine had risen nine feet in two days at Miinheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, while in other places. a fall of snow had taken place, which broke the trer;s still Offered with foliage, and therefore unprepared for the storm. It will be lamentable if, tvhile the States General of the Netherlands are em. onyed in receiving reports on the means of repairing the damage caused by the maritime inundations of last year, they be ovei taken by a similar catastrophe from the great rivers by which their territory is intersected. On the '2lst of last month such a heavy snow fell in Beaumont, in Hainanit, that vast damage was dontin the forests by the breaking of the branches; the fruits have also euff•red severely. It is teased that similar damage has been done above Chimay. The following anecdote of Sheridan, the authenticity of which is undoubted, is not generally known : Soon after the marriage of filteridan with Miss Hester Ogle, they went on a visit to lier father, the Dean of Winchester. During their stay at the Deanery, a party met there one evening, the " lion" of which was a kind musical genius—the Fife-Major of siregiment guar. toed in the town. With this man's talents and per formance on several instrum‘nts Miss Ogle, the elder *ter of Mrs. Sheridan, was more than commonly de liBhterl, and expressed her approbation and applause with all that vivacity and energy whch was natural to her clutacter. Sheridan's attention was soon attracted Inwards Ler Lrok at Susan," said he, " she is quite I,) raptures—give me a pencil and a scrap of paper."— in a moment he produced the following impromptu: By Heaven above, our %he's in love, .And nothing can assuage her; She's foran'd a plan for that smart nun, I mean that gay Fifealsior ! But, haa I again that merry strain—. Novi I'll het any wager, • That ()Tenure has made it sure-- --I wish you joy, Fife-Major This was Toted capital, and carried in high glee to the Dean, who, though as fully alive to the wit and talent of Sheridan as any t 'dY, might have been as well pleased, perhaps, had his daughter selected a more prudent partner—f 4 Give me the paper a moment," " id the Deals. when he had hiard the lines, and immediately aitti aAldtessed himself to the laughing circle, saying, 's how bear my stanza— rice mother ales ' with weeping eyes, 1 wish she had been sager; Butaiuce 'ds done, and you're my son, Gun bless you both, Fife.hlaiur !

HAYMAIIKtT I HEATRE. The revival of Munmtv's comedy of Knotn.your own! Mimi, restored to Its last night that gaiety. with which here we cannot dispense. and the Little Theatre was . itself again. The comedy was extremely well got up. VINING was lively in the whim4cat versatility of Millomour, and P. FARItEN quite at home in the bus tling, confident, voluble character of Dashwoad. Little WILLIAMS did, as usual, judiciously what he had to do in the pan of the mature widower, Itygrove; Mrs. GLOVER was excellent in the haughty and in:riguing widow, Mrs. Mondry; and Miss P. GLOVER was pleasing and interesting in the sentimental Miss Nevi[. But the star:of the night was Madame VESTRIS, who, if she was not in Lady Bell exactly the:being of high fashion and accomplishment which in the closet we should anticipate, was everything else, even to.adinira ! tion, which we could desire in the character. Her arch liveliness—her alternate frankness and. coquetry—her fascinating lutes and her tantalising caprices, were alike in accordance with the design of her author; and whe ther she trilled in bursts of apparently spontaneous song, or sported in the giddy vivacity of dialogue, she ap peared alike the witching mistress of those arts and charms destined to subdue the levity, and fix the wea. ther-cock versatility of the lover she had to deal with. In the gUitar song, introduced in the scene of reciprocal coquetry between the plotting sisters and the wavering lover, she shelved how much the actress can assist the singer, as well as how much the charm of song can be assistant to good acting ; and she was, sue usual, very deservedly encored. The comedy was announced for repetition with unanimous applause. NEW CATHOLIC ASSoCIATION•The campaign be gins anew to-day, and if we mistake not, it will be carried on with still more vigour mid activity than the last. An opening speech, giving a ptogramme of intended operations, is expected from Mr. O'Commu..—Dubtim Morning Resister, Oct. 29. A poor woman named Myers, aged 76, was found dead in a field at Roosecote, in Low Furness, Saturday sennight, having been attacked and dreadfully gored by an infuriated ram. At the Surrey Sessions, yesterday, a case of some importance to parochial officers was heard Mr. Jatocs, residing in the parish of Lambeth, clainad exemption from serving the office of Overseer, he serving the same office where his house of bu ine's was situated, in St. Michael's, Cur nhill. Mr. JACICS had been appointed, and the Magistrates said they could give him no relief. At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, a man, named Larkins, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, for imposing upon a Gentleman with a fabricated porter's ticket, and taking more than the legal charge. —A ci-devnnt Captain in the Belgian service, and a private soldier, named M'Leod, were sentenced each to eighteen months' imprisonment. A new Meeting-house for ti e Society of F. iends was lately opened at Trutovean, Cornwall; when Mrs. FAT and her sister performed the religious ceremon i es.

COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBEft 1. The C f ourt resumed its sitting., 'ant:remit% several causes which were mentioned for purposei of arrangement in the hearing or decision, was that of DE BEAUVOIR V. RHODES. The case has been frequently before the Court, and has been argued to a conclusion. The question turned up• n the validity of a building lease granted to the defendant by the father of the plaintiff. while the grantor was, according to the allegations oldie petition, labour• ing under mental imbecility, the objett of the petition bein, of course, to make, the lease void. The Limb CHANCELLIR observed upon k, th . at it was a case involving points of the deepest importance to questions of property depending upon leases, granted by parties who became suhjrct to mental aberration or imbecility. He was now in the course of reading through the whole of the papers, and be hoped to give judgment in about a wetk. LAW V. THOMPSON. Mr. HART, for the defendant; moved to dissolve an injunction which had been granted by the Vice Chan. cellor, to crmpel rap Sent into the hands of the Accountant General of .5,0001. of Carnatic S ock, and to restrain the defendant from receiving the dividends upon it. The q.. estion on the previous bearing turned on the right of tee defendant to take to this property under * will dated 1775, the de'andant claiming that right in quality of di ect tepresentative of the original di nee. The Learned enamel contended, first, that the plaintiff had made out no title whatever to the money ; secondly, that so much time had elapsed, that by the ordinary principle upon which injunctions issued, he would in any ease be destitute of the power of pursuing his otiject by that course, on account ot•not doing so in sufficient time. Mr. HEALD and Mr. Co: supported the injunctiot?,- The LORE CIIANCEI.I.OII recommended that the parties should turn both Judge and Counsel oat of Court, and he Chancellor and Counsel unto themselves—ln other words, they would dowell to decide without the interference ihe*Court. If they were not prepared to follow this advice, he must of course give judgment. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, Nov. 1. The Jude . gs proceeded to hear arguments of cues in the special paper on points of law. WARD V. HILLER. This was an action brought in the Common Peas, on a policy of insurance on freight and ship Aurora, at and from Grenada to London. By the stipulationi of the policy, the ship had leave to stop at any port, and was warranted to sail on her homeward voyage before the ht of August, 1821. The ship sailed !tom London on the 10th of December, 1822, arrived at Grenada t:n the 16th of January, 1823, and proEeeded to deliver her outwatd•bound cargo. She delivered part at Gretial, Irwin, and Ducane, and proceeded to Grenville's Bay, to discharge the remainder of her cat go, and take in her cargo fur London ; no which voyage she was lost. Mi. Justice PARK, who tried tl c cause, ditected the Jar,' to find for the •plaintiff, considering this voyage to he within. the scope of the p ilicy. To this charge there was a bill of exception:, which now was argued by Mr. Si-sjeant 'FADDY for the defendants, and Mr. CAMPBELL for the pia ntiff. The Coosa were of opinion that the ruling of the Learned Judge at Nisi Prior was right ; and that though the ship was then sailing with a double purpose to discharge the residue of her outward cargo, and to take in her cargo for London, there was no deviation, but she was within the protection • of the policy. They therefore gave judgment for the plaintiff. PLUMMER V. WOOD. This case was argued upon demurrer. It ap peared to be otiginally ats Action to recovec.money for commission. The maintquestion was, whether a judg ment in the Colonial Coutt of St. Christopher was a bar to an action in England? or in other terms, whether a judgment obtained in a fort ign Court was a bar to an Action its England? The points west ably argued by Mr. Mituutuo and Mr. STIMINS. The latter went to considerable length in citing various cases, in which it bad been held that a foteign judgment became an estoitpel, or bar of action. The Cot: ! decided for the affirmative of the proposition. The Magistrates were occupied on Wednesday, at the Town-hall. Devonport, in hearing the details of a case, which, for in umanity and brutality, is unparalleled. Two unfortunate females, named Mary Hockaday, alias Douglas, and Elizabeth Soday, appeared, to charge the master and mate of a S aansea vessel, called the Peace, now lying in that harbour, with having treated them in a most disgraceful and infamous manner, on the Tuesday morning preceding. The defendants are brothers, named T. and J. Bowden, the former the mas-1 ter and the latter the mate. Douglas had been taken on board by the mate, with whom she had been ac quainted for a short time, on the Monday evening, and the master sent on shot; for the other complainant, So day. They remained in the vessel about an hour, when the defendants, without assigning any reason, ordered them to leave the ship, refusing them permission to put on their clothes ; they remonstrated; and begged to be' allotted to dress themselves—this was still refused, and at last they were put into the ship's boat, without any' clothing, except their chemists, and in that state were by two boys, belonging to the ves s el, rowed towards the Barbican. Dining their progress, the boat passing close to a vessel at the mouth of the Catwater, the wo men caught hold of a boat alongside, alarmed the crew, told the infamous manner in which tilt" had beta treated, and were uermitted to come on board : the boys having lost their charge, returned to their inhuman ens. ployer s. The girls were given a jacket each, and sent on shore—this was about one o'clock on Tuesday morning : clad in a jack. t. without shoes, stotkins, or any other covering, they sought their homes .. application was made to the Magistrates on Tuesday .morning, and a warrant granted. These particulars being stated, though with more aggravated circumstances, which we cannot pollute our pages with, the defendants expre-sed them selves sorry for their conduct, and offered to snake any satisfaction to the complainants. The Magistrat, s per mitted the parties to 'cite, and it was then arranged that the girls were to receive 251. each, and all their expenses to be paid them. The understanding being entered into, the defendants were held in recogn'sancee for their appearance the following day, at the Guild hall, whell the more,' was to be paid. Thursday morn. , ing, according to appointment, they met at Guildhall; after a discussion, arming from a wi, h of the delendatits to pay a fess sum to the girl S 'day than had Lk en agreed on the preceding day, to which the Magistra es would not liven. the I ull amount of 'l5l. to each was produced. Mr Rodd addressed the girl Soday, the other not being pr:sen•,.on her manner of and by his persuati, n, she permitted hoar to retain newly all the mosey till sr e was ready to go home to her hi, nds, who are said to l'e re,pectable pertons at liodrnin..

The east Sussex bounds nokennelled a fiat on Thursday, at Win dory, but the wily rogue bent his course towards the high cliffs of Brachy Head, and led his pursuers so close to the brink of them, that five of the hounds fell over and were dashed to pieces, while Heyward himself, taking advantage of the shelvings of the l i eghtful steep, descended in safety.

The offer will very probably be accepted. PEDESTRIANISM. Captain Ramsden, of Longtown, undertook his match on Satur day. in Athentone Park, Rucks, to go on foot 100 miles in 20 hours on two stalks of rolled turf, and the match was for 300 mveftiqns.— The pedestrian started after the clock struck twelve on Saturday morning, and at five o'clock he had accomplished 30 miles,, when he ate a roast fowl, and die 30 other miles in six hours. „ After halting half an hour, and exchanging his flAnntls, the pedestrian • proceeded on at the rate of between four and five miles an hour, took his rest when occasion required it, and won with seven minutes to spare. The pedestrian wore a strong pair of shoes, well braced over the ankles. A walking m itch against time toot place last Saturday afternoon, on the licixton-road. The wager was for twenty sovereigns, that the pedestrian would not walk toe and heel six miles in an hour% hut he won, having performed it in fifty-four minutes and a half.— We did not hear his name, but be appeared a labouring man from his dress. Mr. gall, of the rook and Lion, Ea.t Smithfield, was the stakeholder on the occasion. The match was witnessed by a great number of persons, and afforded much satisfaction, except to the losers. TSB FANCY. Monday, a benefit for Ward, took place at the Tennis Court Great Windmill.streer, to relate the particulars cif which would be a waste of space ; it was similar to those which have so often been described, and was crowded. Ward challenged the world for five hundred pounds. Another meeting occurred near St. James's.street. The condsuct of a Gentleman who has lately avoided the Ring, as connected with pugilism, was commended. at . list of prize-fighters who had nevvr lost a batik was handed about, and the majority of those present, on retiring, declared their decided intention of never again risking a guinea on a heat. FATAL •ACCIDENT. A MAN TILLED WE THE ELEPHANT AT EXETER .CHANOP.. Yesterday, a Coroner's Inque,t was held on the body of John Tiessen, the keeper of the elephant at Exeter 'Change, who was killed by that irtrnense animal. The principal witness was John Cottel, who deposed as follows :—I am one of the keepers of the beasts at Exeter 'Change, and yesterday morning we went to the ekphant's den to clean it out. As usual, I took the spear with me to keep him in subjection, bpt the de ceased told. me to put the spear down, as the animal knew h m well. I put it down, and the he , st, after playing with it under his feet, took it up in hi, trunk. and waved it about several times. The deceased then struck him with the broom, and said, " Come round." The beast turned quickly. and brushed the deceased with his right tusk on the breast, and pressed him ag.rinst the bar of the den, and the deceased fell immediately, and the elephant stood trembling, as iicon4cious he had done wrong. • I am quite certain that - the occurrence was purely accidental. The elephant was remarkably tame, and was pirticolarly fond of t':e deceased. I have been in his den. and cleared it out :nice the acci dent, and the animal was perfectly kind. He was asked the weight of the beast, and he replied by the ad measurement he weighed four tons and a ha . lf, and consumed from seven to nine hundred weight.o day, and about thirty.kve pails of water. The Jury returned a ♦erdict " That the deceased was killed by the elephant accidentally."—Deodand is. on the beast. Three Lades have appeared in the capital of Pratte who, as fencers, challenge the best professors of the art. By accounts from Montreal to the 'S.+ ult. we learn that the Act empowering his MAJESTY to grant to the Canada Land Company the Clergy Reserves in Upper Canada, had been published in the (Peke Gazette. By this Act his MAJZSTY is anthori•ei to sell and con vey to the Company, in fee-simple, one-half cf the Clergy Reserves, and the money to he paid by me Co.npany is to be appropriated exclusively to the sup port and maintenance of the Protestant Clergy of toe Province.
