A,VIfRiPTCY OF IVESilth. MARSH AND CO. Yesterday morning, pursuant to notice, the first meet ing of the creditors of Messrs. Marsh, &rem, Fauntle- T oy, and Co. took place in the New Court at the back of Guildhall. The room was filled soon after nine o'clock in the morning by persons (chiefly shopkeepers from the parish of Mary-la-bonne) testifying much anxiety for the result. The mischief, in general, done to tradesmen of small capital seems to be very heavy. At ten o'clock business commenced, before the Seventh List of Corn missioners--Messrs. Lati,flpranger, and Ileauclerk being present; Mr. Basil Montagu attended fur the provi sional assignee. Mr. John Clark, Managing Director of the European Life Insurance Company, desired to prove for £47,000. The Commtsstowaita expressed themselves rather doubtful, as the European Insurance Company was con stituted, whether Mr. Clan k was a competent authority to prove. The point eventvalfy stood over to a future meeting. Mr. Stracey himself was one of the Direc tors of this Company. The Treasurer of the ;Wary-la-bonne Infirmary came to prove for £3,000. This proof was deferred, like that in the former case, until it should be clear that the Treasurer was the legal claimant. A Mr. W. Johnson put in a claim for Exchequer bills to the amount of several thousand pounds ; he having paid that money into the house of Messrs. Marsh and Co. for the purchase of Exchequer-bills which were not now forthcoming. The Cosimisstoneas said it would be necessary, in the first instance, to ascertain that the bills were not in the hands of the house; if they were so, they would be Mr. Johnson's property, and must altogether be delivered up to him. A Clerk of Messrs. Marsh and Co. then said, that he believed the Exchegner•bills were not to be found. They had, however, been put chased—there was evidence to that effect. Mr. MONTAGU said, that in that case, the party who had abstracted them would be liable for the embezzle ment ; but the loser was entitled to prove as for a debt, notwithstanding. The COMMISSIONERS were of opinion, after some dis cussion, that Mr. Johnson would do well to defer his claim for the present; as by proving for the Exche quer-bills as a debt, he would wave his tight to the whole possession of them if they should be discovered. Mr. Johnson then proved for a balance of 4401. only, leaving the question as to the larger amount open for the present. 'fbree or four other claims were made with respect to Exchequer-bills; and there seemed to be no instance in• which property of that kind was forthcoming : they were all arranged, for the time being, in the shllle way u that of Mr. Johnson. The clerk who appeared with the books of the firm, said, that all the business of Eschequer•bills had been left in the charge of Mr. Fauntleroy. Mr. Fauntleroy was the only person who could give any certain infor• mation as to what bad or had not been done as to such securities. Several creditors expressed a wish that access might be had to the books of the bankrupts; but the Commis sioners indurated that no order could be made to that effect. Mr. Montagu said, that the petitioning credi tor was ready to answer all inquiries, as far as he had information. As to the property, however, in the shape of securities, there was great difficulty in ascertaining anything accurately. A clerk connected with the house, said that there was very great difficulty in tracing that class of property. Many securities, probably, had been lodged, of which there was no record at all. A short sketch, in figures, of the probable state of the affairs of the house, was then exhibited, as made up by the petitioning creditor. At first it was handled round the table ; but a general outcry arose to have it read. The COMMISSIONIERS objected to having such a docu ment read as any part of the proceedings of the day. It was not official, and might lead to great misapprehen sion. Eventually, the call of the room prevailed. and the paper was read ; the Commissioners stating dis tinctly that they gave it no countenance as an account to be relied on. The reading, one way or the other, was a matter of little consequence ; for while the argu ment went on, it was copied in 20 places. In this balance-sheet, the claims (for bills and money) against the house, at the time of its stopping payment, were put at something short of £367,000. This was stated, however, to be exclusive of all claims on the score of Exchequer-bills or India bonds; also exclusive of any claims which might be set up by the Bank of England ; also independent of all stock transactions— (that was, where money had been received for the pur •_hase of stock, and abstracted, or embezzled, or applied to other purposes)--in short, to use the words of the Gentleman who produced the paper, " exclusive of all fraudulent transactions whatever:' On the score of there were already claims to the amount of A:95,000 (whether this sum in cluded the claims preferred at the meeting did not ap pear). What farther claims there might be on the score of Exchequer-bills or other securities, or with respect to stock ordered to be purchased and not purchased, could not as yet be ascertained. Mr. Fauntleroy, how ever, (it was said), upon these points, completely excul pated his partners. Mr. LAW said, that he could not allow a statement to that effect to be made. It was the duty of the Court to see that Mr. Fauntleroy, in his absence, was not prejudiced. Mr. MONTAGU said, that he had a letter in his pos• session from Mr. Fauntleroy distinctly to that effect. The balance-sheet was then proceeded in ; and it was heard with great satisfaction, that to meet the existing claims of £460,000, Messrs. Marsh and Co. had assets, in cash and securities, to the amount of more than £530,000. This state of things was expressly declared to be made out, by taking the assets of the firm at their highest, and the debits against it at their lowest pos ,ible value ; but, notwithstanding the apprehension of subsequent claims, the general sense of the meeting cer tainly was, matters were better than had been expected. 'The is sketch" or rough balance-sheet, exhibited was, la terms and figures, nearly as follows : Dr. To claims outstanding fur rash and bills 4566,988 Claims as to lizehequer bills already made 95,00 n Cr. By assets in hand in cash and bills . £155,000 Debts on bond and other sufficient securities 116,970 (hftrdravon accounts and loans, chiefly upon mortgage and goo 4 security . . 272,213 This credit is exclusive of interest of a Ditty due to the I.ulisc, which, as it could net be correctly ea'culated, was not nude an item in the anets. The whole leaves a i balance of 82,0001. to meet claims not included in the amount debited. I%e meeting adjourned at °tie o'clock. The amount of debts proved was supposed to exceed 140,0001: The three bankrupts, Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Graham, surrendered in the usual manner under the Commission, and received the form of protection gene rally given to bankrupts on their surrender. During the d 47 they conversed familiarly with their creditors, and seemed anxious to give every explanation. They were remarkably well received, and treated with much re spect and politeness. It is understood there will be a private meeting on Monday next to prove debts. The greatest bustle created at the meeting was excited by about fifty enemies, who attended, a great number for the purpose of canvassing to become Agents to the Commission; and cards were handed about just as they are at a Wardmote in the City, with the names of the attornies, and requesting a meeting of the creditors at their respective houses, " where every attention would be paid." To -morrow, according to annual custom, the LORD MAYOR and Aldermen will accompany the new Sheriffs to the Court of Exchequer, at Westminster, where they will be sworn to the duties of their office, before one of the Barons. The civic party proceed in barges from Blackfriars, and make the common and ordinary dis play of Rags, music, &c. Jas.Glasiford and Thos. Frankland Lewis, Esqrs. two of the Commissioners of Education, arrived in London • derry last week, the former Gentleman on Wednesday, and the latter on Friday. They inspected several of the Schools of the City and neighbourhood, and on Satur day morning proceeded to Raphoe. In the town of Yarmouth, in Norfolk, herrings are sold annually to the amount of forty thousand pounds, sterling; but what is still more extraordinary, shrimps' are sent from thence to Loncin, which produce to the. fishermen eight thousand pounds per annum. RAVAGES COMMITTED BY GAME.—It has been calcu lated that the corn destroyed by game, in the county of Hants alone, would be sufficient to maintain 2000 people for a year, and that the labour of persons imprisoned in the same county for offences against the Game Laws, would be adequate to carry on a manufactory of silk, woollen, or cotton, employing a capital of 100,0001. Yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, two desperate villains broke into the coach-house of S. Chambers, Esq. one of the Magistrates of Union-hall, in Keppel-street Mews, Russell-square, and broke into an apartment occupied by the coachman's wife, whom they threatened to murder if she made the least noise. They then robbed her of some silver spoons, wearing apparel, and everything they could carry off. The coachman was in the country with the carriage. with Mr. Chamberes family, which was probably known to the thieves. A few days since a servant girl was walking by the side of the Canal, near Mr. Rawoth's Wharf, at Not tingham, with an infant in her arms, when, looking at the child instead of her path, sae stepped from the road into the water, and she and the child instantly disap peared. A man who saw the accident hastened to the spot, and fortunately caught the girl by the hair of her head; but, on raising her in the water, it appeared that the child was no longer in her arms. The man hastily pulled her out, that he might have a 'chance of saving the infant, when, to his great surprise, he found that the little innocent had instinctively caught hold of the, bottom of the girl's petticoat, which it grasped so firmly, that it was sately drawn out. Ann Brinkworth, charged with the wilful murder of her new-born female infant, and Mary Brinkworth, charged with aiding her in the murder, were last week committed to Gloucester jail for trial. SUDDIOI l)lATU.—Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. Bradley, of the firm of Bradley and Wilde, Manchester, while driv ing in his gig to his country residence at Pendleton, felt a pain in his chest, which, however, did not prevent him from proceeding homewau ds, accompanied by Mrs. Bradley. But when he reached Windsor Bridge, he was seized with a violent fit of coughing, and speedily be came so unwell as to be incapable of directing his horse. He was then taken out of the gig, and carried into the Windsor Castle, and in about fifteen minutes he expired. About the village of Millbrcx)k, a considerable sect named Bryanites or Brianites, has lately sprung up, whose teachers and leading men claim ant only the power of casting out devils, but pretend to possess a still more dangerous power—the power of seeing into the future world, and ascertaining the lot of the inmates thereof. In the application of this power, they of course see all those who think as they think, in Paradise, while all those who do not belong to their persuasion, or who, after having been joined to them, leave their asso ciation, are seen amidst hell torments, by which means the simple are gained and the doubting alarmed, and bound to their creed. Some distressing instances of the effects of these anathemas have occurred. In the midst of their religious meetings they are caught in trances, when males and females are all huddled toge ther and thrown into a dark cellar, where they remain till a spirit moves them. One of the fraternity having fallen dangerously ill, his wife, not one of them, sent for the Clergyman of the parish to visit him, and read the prayers for the sick by him. This the Clergyman, a very worthy man, went readily to perform; but, upon his arrival at the house, he was opposed from entrance by a man decent in appearance, judging from his dress, who assured him that he was too late ; that all was over, and the devil dislodged from the sick man. I saw him (the devil) myself, said the Briantte Pastor, come out of the man, pass through this window, fly over the house, and next over the adjoining heights, to his pro per abode; and my brother, added he, is now watch ing at the bedside of the defunct, lest Satan return by stealth and enter him again. The Clergyman, notwith standing every effort made to get ii.to the house, be lieving the man to be, a; he really was, still alive, was compelled to give up the attempt, and next day, before he returned, the poor man had actually expired. Fasscis QUACKS.—The T: ibunal of Correctional Po lice, in Paris, has sentenced a Doctor Guille to a fine of five hundred fiancs, for having violated the law by fa bricating a medicine announced under the name of Elixir antitlairenx j and has sentenced an apothecary of the name of Oules to a fine of a hundred francs, for having sold this medicine without a license. It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses in the course of the pro-, ceedings, that the medicine operated with much vie knee, and that one person who took it in the morning died at night. The son of an eminent surgeon being some years ago rnployed on a diplomatic mission on the Continent, was ill received at a certain Court, on account of his birth, till a witty old ,Nobleman remarked they were all wrong t- 4, I can assure you," said he, 44 eta kftls d'un Smaszva.* . A . . ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR-THIS DAY. baslair beta rossotaid E ill a n— n attempt would be made to re torts Mclennan giereamair a second time, there was a very nume rous attendance of the Livery at Guildhall, for the Election of Lord Idayor for the year ensuing. When the usual formalities had been gene tbrosgh, the following Aldermen were pm in nomination I Roasts Ataxy COZ, Eng. Jolts GA UAW, Esq. Ws. VSSANAMI4 liti . tli t rit War. THOMPSON, Esq. thew of hands was decidodly in favour of Alderman Ga s uave, mho, with Alderman Vimaater, was returned to the Court of Aldermen. The choice fell on Alderman Geeserr, whose election was re ceived With the most enthusiastic cheering, by the great body of the Litery in the Hall. It appears, from the Gaceta de Colombia of the 11th of July, that the illustrious BOLIVAR has relinquished intople hands of Congress the salary of 30,000 dollars assigned to hiin by the law of the 23d July, 1823, and expressed his wish to serve free of charge to the Re public, until the war in Peru is terminated. A Bogota paper of the 15th of July states, that Mr. Mciiionzitx, a Member of the Senate has ordered a mule's load of Pitoya bark to be sent to Mr. Heanan sow', British Consul-General at Bogota, in order that it may be sent to England, to undergo experiments for establishing its comparative quality for medical pur poses with the Peruvian bark; to which the Colom bians, with a laudable but suspicious partiality to a na tive production, consider it equal if not superior. Letters of the 17th of August, froM Smyrna, state that a great mortality existed among the Turkish troops collecting at Scala Nuova, which was likely to retard their embarkation in the expedition against Samos. The 'Greek privateers, in the meantime, were actively en gaged in intercepting and capturing the small vessels which-bad been engaged for the transport of the troops.' flis Majesty's ship Hoax was in the port of Smyrna, and the city had enjoyed tranquillity for the preceding three weeks; the Tin kish troops who passed through, from whose insubordination great excesses wete apprehended, having submitted quietly to the restraints of mili tary discipline. We unZierstand thit it is in contemplation to form a Joint Stock Company for the 'construction of a railway between London and Edinburgh, for the conveyance of goods and passengers ; the propelling power to be, locomotive and stationary steam engines. It is under stood that the distance between these two places may be reduced to about 340 miles, and if the same rate of tra velling be adopted on this road, as is proposed for the Liverpool and Birmingham railway, namely eight miles an bout for goods, and twelve miles an hour for pas sengers, the time of conveyance between these two places will be reduced to 43 and 29 hours respectively. A meeting was held, at the city of Cork, on the 9th instant, for the purpose of receiving the Hon. Mr. Noel and Captain Gordon, Members of the London Bible Society, with certain propositions for extending the ob jects of that Institution to Ireland. These delegates or missionaries were but scurvily treated, and the project failed. The chief speakers against them were Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Shiel, who were both somewhat abusive. Mr. O'Connell, in his turbulent way, ad mitted—very justly, we are sure—that the knowledge of the word of GOD could only lead to the extirpation of Popery. He treated, therefore, the project of disse minating-the Bible as an attempt to convert the Irish from the religion of their fathers." How often we hear that phrase repeated, The religion of their fathers! The religion of their fathers !" Surely, if the Irish have any mei it in adhering to the religion of their fathers, they would have had yet more in adhering to that of their grandfathers—to the idolatrous rites which preceded the introduction of Christianity. Mr. Shiel appears to have been a reader of Coat, obsequiously adopting his argument, that the Bible was a work cal culated to instil impure ideas and a sanguinary practice. It will be recollected, that the Pagans, in the earlier ages of the Church, endeavoured to destroy the Bible —Timer. CURIOUS AND NOVEL Weoza.—Yesterday afternoon, after a party of Gentlemen had dined together at a tavern in the Strand, a wager was offered by one of the company, that he would open two dozen of oysters quicker than any person present could devour them; and that by the time be had opened the twenty-four, six would remain unconsumed. This bet was imme diately accepted by a Captain B—, and the whole party adjourned to a neighbouring shell-fish repository to decide the wager. Mr. Bowen, the person who of fered the wager, after selecting two dozen of the finest oysters from the man's stock, requested he would fa vour him with all the oyster knives he had in his posses sion, which amounting to four, he put three into his pocket, and commenced operations with the remaining one ;but after opening the oysters, instead of separating them from the shell, he left that feat to be performed by Captain B—, who, notwithstanding the aid of his teeth, with the additional assistance of his thumb and finger, was not able to effect the devouring of more than eleven before Mr. B— had opened the whole of the natives"—thus losing the wager, which was for a din ner and wine for a party of twelve friends of each, to take place on Michaelmas•day. THE DENNET AND THZ LADY—lnformation was yesterday sent to Hatton-garden Office, of a chesnut horse aid a green dennet, the property of Mr. Smith, livery stable-keeper, Caroline-mews, Bedford-square, being in possession of an elderly Lady, calling herself .Mrs. Edwards, and a servant boy. From the descrip tion of the woman, she was immediately recognised as the person who, a few weeks ago, was discharged from the above office, chargedbya numerous tradesmen with defrauding them, by going about in a gig with her son dressed as a servant in livery, and giving the names of Foss, Foster, Jones, Williams, &c. it appeared that about ten days ago she went to Mr. Smith, accompa nied by her mock groom, and selected the horse and dennet for hire fof the space of three months, for which she was to pay three guineas and a half weekly. As she was in very splendid lodgings in Percy-street, Rathbone place, Mr. Smith had no suspicion of her until after a tew days, when the dennet, which she regularly used, was sent home at night with broken pipes, tobacco ashes, tobacco stoppers, &c. This appearing extremely strange in a Lady's dennet, he sent his ostler next morn ing to her lodgings to complain. She then expressed so much indignation at her servant's conduct, threaten ing to dismiss him, that Mr. Smith was appeased.— When, however, the day of weekly payment came, the Lady with her groom (followed by her maid-servant), alter ordering a very delicate dinner to be prepared for her on her return from taking an airing to Highgate, took French leave of both the landlord of the house and Mr. Smith, and has not since been heard of. A letter to the Editors of the Aratioaal Intelligcncer, informs theta of the decease of one of their subscribers at Natchitoches,in _Louisiana, in these brief but comprehensive terms : " Spottswood Snits is dud.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the grand trial of these heroes of the Fistic Art, Old Oak Caligula had to boast of an as semblage of at least dx or 700 persons, of all descriptions. The combatants arrived on the ground by three o'clock, attended by their seconds, Reuben Mardis for Edwards, and Stockman for Harry. The battle was manfully contended, but Harry had the best of it after the first IS minutes, though Edwards Worked away as hard as any one could do ; in fact, he would not yield until the battle had lasted nearly an hour and a half, when nature completely failed him, and his second gave in, yielding the pains to Harry. A bull-bait followed, and afforded a fund of amusement, as he broke away twice, sending the spectators scampering to all parts of the field, many of them receiving some clumsy thumps in their retreat. He at last took refuge from his persecutors in a field, and the owner refused to bring him again into the ring. SHOOTI S c. Mr. Mackenzie, of Allangrange, last week, shot en uneemmonly large and beautiful stag on Sir Hugh Innes's property, in Lochaish, which weighed 370 lbs. A bet of considerable magnitude between Horatio Ross, Esq. of Rossi . and G. Fullerton Carnegie, Esq. of Charleton, was de. cided on Saturday sennight—the former betting that he would shoot as many partridges on his estate, in the space of five hours, as the latter would do on the estate of Ethic in the same time. The day being fine, and the fame of Mrs Ram, as a marksman, being so well known, a great number of sporting Gentlemen Were on the ground. Mr. Ross killed thirty.one and a half, and MT. Carnegie ten brace, the former gaining the bet by twenty-one and a half. SPARRING. Reid, of Chelsea, had a benefit yesterday at the Fives' Court.— The sets-to were as follows,: Mason and Chapman afforded much amusement as light weights. Goodman and Mason made a very good set-to. Donnelly and - Harris, the latter the champion of Hampstead Heath, had a very merry rumble-tumble bout. ' Jem Burn and Acton made a very fine set-to. Burn has proved himself an adept with naked fists against a giant, and he is equally good with gloves on. Ab. Belasco and Harry Holt made one of the finest sets-to ever seen in the Court. The turn-up was pretty equal, and it produced a thunder of applause. Young Dutch Sam and one of the younger Gipsey Coopers ac quitted themselves manftslly. Reid finished in a short set-to with Giptey Cooper the great, in a scientific bout. PEDESTRIANISM. Mr. West won his match on Monday morning, at four o'clock, with twenty minutes to spare, to go from London to Doncaster, and back to Tottenham-court-toad, in four days and six hours. CRICKET. The return match of Cricket, between the Gentlemen of Lydd and the Gentlemen of Rye, was played at Lydd, on Monday, the 20th inst. which terminated in favour of Rye, by eight wickets. THE MARKET.
