PROM Mg HAMPSHIRY TELEGRAPH, .nyvy 19. Ilk Rosa' Highness the Duke cf Clarence returned to Port-month at tour o'clock this afternoon, and em barked on board Ce Royal Sovereign, under the cus tomary tt•ii fleet manning yards, and proceeded, in tow of the Lightning and Meteor steam vessels, to Plymouth, wher e the Lord High Admiral will remain v oila about the 26th, and then proceed with the Prince Regent and Britannia, to cruise off Scilly, where his Royal Hig!•nes, will be joined by Rear Admiral the Honourable Sir Charles Paget, and the squadron under h i s command ; the object of which is, a desire on the part of his Royal Highness personally to make himself fimiliar with the relative sailing qualities of the two line of battle ships, as well as those of the sloop of war. the P-ar I, recently built by Mr. Sante, and other vessels of the saute class, under the orders of Sir C. Paget. On -his occasion, Vice Admiral the Han. Sir Henry Black wood, K.C.B. is expected to hoist his flag on board zither of the Prince Regent or Britannia. The Lord High Admiral is not expected to return to the Admi ralty until the 9th of August. His Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, Commodore Christian, which arrived on Sunday from the Cape of Geed Hope station, sailed from Simon's Bay on the lath May, and touched at St. Helena, which she left co the 28th of May, leaving there his Majesty's yacht Herald, Commander Astley, with the late Governor of India and family on board, on his passage to England. The late Governor of the Mauritius, his Excellency the Hon. Sir G. Lawry Cole, G.C.B. and family, was ex pected at the Cape of Good Hope to assume the reins of Government in Juoe, in his Majesty's ship Tweed, Lord John Churchill. Newland:, one of the country seats of the late Governor of the Cape, had tome to the hammer by order of the Government, and great retrenchments in 'ome of the public departments, espe cially in the minor sittattions, had taken place, and his Honour tlie D poly Governor, Lieutenant-General But Ice, was pursuing a system of the strictest economy. A Constitution of the most satisfactory nature had been announced to the Colonists. Trial by Jury had bren estahli-Iced, Magistrates appointed on the footing of English Magistrates, and things generally began to assume a more pleasing aspect. Bankruptcy had not been so general in the Colony as was the case for some months previously. Several respectable mer chants had left Cape Town, to locate on the fertile banks of Kowie riv •r, in picturesque appearance, to the extent of Graham's Town, t•.qual to the boasted parks of England, without any artificial aid to as• sit nature, atmundina with game and wild packs of hounds that often delight the localities in chase of deer. Gaika, King of the Caffies, had a nu nitrous army on the frontiers, and remained on the most friendly footing with our troops quartered there, and settl:rs were constantly interchanging civilities with him. The sable King Chaca, of the country from Port Natal nearly to Delagoa. Bay OR the eastern coast of Africa, on the one hand, to Carte country on the other, had an at my about him of 15,000 men, frequently skit. a:0111)g in the interior of the country to attack and sub. due other tribes, carrying devastation before him; they are a most powerful and warlike set of blacks. Our enter prising countryman, Lieut. Farewell, R.N. who located among them at Port Natal a few years ago, trafficking with beads and other trifles for Elephants' and Hippo potamus' teeth and gold dust, had been treated with the greatest kindness and civility by Chace, who is a con. summate tyrant over his own subjects, causing, in some instances, flit; of them to be put to death in the cow s e of a week. Since the massacre by King Cappel of axe Portuguese Governor, family, and troops, at these settlements, on the banks of the English River Delagoa Bay, the new Governor from Mozambique has been treated very friendly, not only by him; but by Maces:arm and Samba, and other neighbouring Kings of the extensive Ely of Delagoa and the banks of the River. It was in this river that his Majesty's ship Andromache anchOsed in the year 1825. His Ma jesty's ship Sparrowhaysk, Commander Polkingborne, was at Madagascar; Radama, King of that country, was at his chief city in the island, with a force of about at least twelve thousand men, enjoying repose after his conquest of Banbalooka and the Chiefs of the south and r.orth ends of the island. Radama, for eome.peconiary consideration irons England, has nearly abolished the slave trade with the coast of Africa and Zanzabar.— The Upton Castle and Sesostris (homeward bound), from Bombay, arrived at Table Bay, on the Ist of April, end on the 25th the Alexander, Adam, from km de Janeiro. On the ;Eh of May arrived there the kroxell. f-om the Downs, and the lonia from Sydney, and on the Bth the Sir Edward Paget, from Calcutta. When his Majesty's steam vessel Echo, Lieutenant Bullock, left Lisbon on the 11th inst. with Prince Pognatelli Ruff, the Sicilian Charge d'Affaires. and Chevalier de &meow, the Swedish Charge d'Affaires, and familifia, tke only AmEassador left was the Sar dinian, who was merely waiting for an opportunity to embark. The Echo brought dispatches from Capt. Senoritas, of the Pyramus, and from our Consulate there. It was understood that Don Miguel's coro nation would take place on Tuesday. A meeting of the British mer punts was held on board the Pyramus frigate, Capt. Sartorius (notice of w hi c h was poste d on t h e Exchange, and which had caused much excitement), to consider the best means to be adopted for their !witty, when they decided to remain on shore, provided the British naval force Were still retained at Lisbon. They com plained very much of the depression of the markets, and the state of trade, nu business having been 'done (or the last three months. nor was there the least likelihood of a revival. Sir J. M. Doyle (now limier confinement), had been demanded by the Commodore 4lapt. Sarterius,) and the answer had been a peremptory refusal. Ebert were patrules night and day in the streets, but everything was very quiet. The Badger, 10, Captain Crowdy, with five of the Porta smear Junta, and a considerable number of refugees, had left there three days before the Echo, and may be hourly expected. A large &ruble bank French frigate was entering as the Echo quitted the Taos. The Pyrainus, Galatea, Alligator, Harrier, Vigilant, and Bramble, which were filled whit Portuguese refugees, were lying , here. The Medina had sailed for the coast of Africa the day preceding the departure cf tae Echo. Letters from his Majesty's ship Tyne, dated St. John's, New foundland, June 14, state that she would proceed on the 30th for tae coast of Labrador, and here remain until the latter end of oe 'O'er, previously calling at the several ports and towns on the toast of Newfoundland, by the Governor's order, for the purpose of vaccinating generally, and to allay the apprehension of the small Per spreadirig, which bad broke out at St. John's, and committed mat rava ges .

By virtue of the new Act for the regulation of fares on the River Thames, the Watermen's Company have established a set of ordinances and bye-laws which are calculated to remedy the so well-founded complaints; and the system has just been sanc tioned and approved by the Judges, and the Members of the Privy Council. We understand that the present Lord Mayor, and several of the Waterinen's Company, have been for the last 20 years endea vouring to bring several of the changes now to take place into operation. It will be seen at once, from a cursory view of some of the most important alterations, that the public are greatly in debted to the persevering exertions of those Gentlemen, and will no longer be subject to such fraud and abuse as they have been ac customed to, without retribution. It is necessary to state, that the vratermen of any character are perfectly well satisfied with the plans, which will be in full play in a few days. Above bridge (that is above London Bridge) the regulations are to be these—a passenger is to be charged 3d from bridge to bridge. There are to be ten fares from London Bridge to Chelsea Bridge, at 3d. each (each distance about half a mile); and from Chelsea Bridge to Teddington half-mile posts have been driven down. to mark the distances at the like charge. Front Teddington to Wind. sot farm to be paid on the like principle. Below bridge, the distance from London Bridge to Greenwich, which is about five miles, is to be divided into ten fares, each to be charged at 3d. From Greenwich to Woolwich, a space of nearly equal distance, in consequence of the winding course of the river, half-mile posts have been driven, the fare for each ball mile to be 6d. The increased price has been put on as the Committee calcu lated that each boat must, on account of the heavy swells in that open part of the Thames, have the labour of two men. With re gard to the conveyance of the public from the steam boats to the shore, the Committee provided against the hazard which exists, and the gloss impositions practised, most effectually. One passenger taking a boat, to convey himself alone from a steam packet, to be charged 4d. If there are more than one in the boat, each passenger to be charged 3d. and each is entitled to take with him, without a tharge, the weight of half a hundred of luggage. A passenger may insist upon going in a boat from the steam vessel by himself. No more than one boat to be allowed on each side of the steam vessel at a time. Rules are laid down for the strict ob servance of this plan, and inspectors are appointed to see it carried vigorously into effect. Any boat going along side the steam vessel out of order, is to be fined in the penalty of 34 Any Waterman who abuses a passenger, is to be fined 51. Any Waterman refusing to take a passenger where he pleases, is to be fined bi. The waternsen's boats are to be licensed by the Company to take a certain number of passengers, in accordance with the size of the boat, and it that number is exceeded, the penalty for each passenger over and above is Si. Sack Waterman is to carry a table of fares in his pocket, and if be refuse to produce it to a passenger, be for. felts St. The passenger is on no accoupt to consider himself obliged • to pay soy demand, without the production of such table of fares. The number of passengers each beat is licensed to carry, is to be marked on the back-board of the boat, in letters not less than two inches in length.—The City Members have been indefatigable in their endeavours to establish those very necessary changes. The House of Lords and House of Commons sat each for a short time on Saturday, to for ward several Bills through their respective stages. There still re mains for this day the third reading of the Sugar Bill in the Commons, after which the House will adjourn over to Friday. Saturday evening a fine child, apparently not ex ceeding in age three or four months, was left, wrapped up in an old Bath cloak, by some inhuman and unna tural wretch, by the side of a door in Clare-passage, Clare-market. Two women who were passing at the time conveyed the child to the workhouse in Portugal. street, where it remains under the care of the inmates. Saturday, at one o'clock, an accident of a most serious nature occurred in the Waterloo-road, nearly opposite Ann-street. A Gentleman was proceeding over Waterloo Bridge upon a spirited horse, the animal suddenly took fright at a report caused by the firing the Park guns, in honour of the anniversary of his Majesty's coronation; it bolted with great fury along the Bridge, and when near Ann-street, knocked down a labourer, and nearly killed him. Mr. Green, the aeronaut, ascended in his balloon from Manchester on Thursday, accompanied by a Mr. Strapps, of that town. After having been in the air about an hour and a quarter, Mr. Green, while throw ing out the grapnel, was tossed out of the car, but still kept a hold of its edge, and remained suspended for tome time. Vt bile endeavouring to get again into the car, a sudden jerk, caused by the breaking of the grapnel iron from its bold, precipitated him to the ground with great force. The balloon, thus lightened, ascended with Mr. Strapps, who, however, succeeded in bringing it and himself safely to the ground, about half a mile from where Mr. Green had fallen. Mr. Green short! came up, and the two aeronauts immediately returned with their machine to Manchester, where Mr. Green now lies seriowly indisposed. A number of workmen have been for some time past employed in pulling down the extensive premises of Messrs. Freak aid Creed, sugar bakers, in &shop's court, Old Bailey, for the purpose of their being rebuilt. On Friday morning the workmen were in the act of ',removing the main girders, instead of sawing them off, which connect the premises with the house No. 14, in Green Arbour-square, when the men observed the house mentioned to be in a ti.ttering state, and imme diately discontinued their operations. The several in.. mates who were in the houses Nos. IS and 14, Green Arbour-square (some of whom were in their beds, and others at breakfast), feeling the shock, became alarmed, and had just sufficient time to escape from their apart menu, before both houses fell to the ground with a tremendous crash into Bishop's -court, pulling with them the western side of the house No. 12, memorable as the house in which Oliver Goldsmith lived, but at the time of the accident occupied by Mr. Hawkins, copperplate printer. The greatest consternation prevailed in the neighbourhood, as it was at first imagined that several persons had been buried in the ruins, but happily every one escaped. The houses were occupied by seven dif ferent families, and the number of inmates amounted to $l, principally hard working, industrious men, the whole 01 whose property is buried in the ruins. The different families were all accommodated the following night with beds at St. Sepulchre's workhouse. It is a most fortunate circumstance that the accident did not occur in the night, as no doubt every inmate would have lost their lives. Green Arbour-square is a place of great antiquity, and was formerly a Bislrop's Palace. LAW INTELLIGENCE.. COURT OF KINGS BENCH, int 19. RIRECLARK V. BRENT AND OTHERS. This was an action brought against the defendants, as Directors of the East Kent and Canterbury Econo mic Fire Assurance Association, to recover the value of the plaintiff's stock and furniture, which were insured in ;his Association, and were consumed by fire. The defence was, that the plaintiff had not given in so par ticular an account of his loss as he might.have done. The plaintiff's premises were situated at Sheerness, and were, together with the stock and many other houses, destroyed in July, 1822, when a fire broke out in the town. The conditions of the policy were then read, and se veral witnesses were called, who stated, that from what they had seen of the stock and household furniture in the plaintiff's house, immediately before the fire, they ,hnuld conceive that it could not be worth less than 3.0001. His household furniture was valued at 4001. fir 5001. On the part of the defendants, witnesses were called, who stated, that from what the plaintiff had said in his examination before the Commissioners, and from what appeared on his book, it was impossible that the value of his stock at the time of the fire could have amounted to more than 1,2321. 13s. The Jury, however, returned a verdict for the plain tiff—D4rnages Two Thousand Two Hundred Pounds. The Court, on its rising, adjourned till Monday, October 27. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 19. CRIM. CON. — MARSH V. HARRIS. This was an action for Crim. Coo. and Mr. Sergeant WII.DIS stated the plaintiff's case to the Jury. The Learned Sergeant said, that in this case his client was a Lieutenant• in h& Majesty's Navy, and the defendant wits a clerk in an attorney's office. The plaintiff, in the year 1826, had gone out in the Asia,. and subsequently transferred his services to the . Ariadne, during which time his wife, with her four children, resided in Mar te. Soon after the plaintiff went to sea, it was ob served that the defendant was very frequent in his visits to Mrs. Marsh, and both he and the Lady were warned on the subject by those who felt interested in her beha viour. The defendant, however, had persisted in his attentions, and did not even suffer the children of the plaintiff to be any restraint to him, he having, in their presence, taken Mrs. Marsh on his knee, and kissed and fondled her in a way that told too plainly the nature of the intercourse between them; and after this they re tired together into the Lady's bed room, returning from it with her dress disordered. He thought that all this was quite sufficient to prove that the last familiarities had passed between the defendant and the plaintiff's wife; and the plaintiff had therefore come into Court to receive a verdict at the hands of the Jury, which now was the only compensation that could be afforded him for the irreparable damage inflicted upon him. The defendant appealed in person,and cross-examined all the witnesses himself. The following witnesses were called: Martha Young—l was present at the marriage of the plaintiff, which took place about nine years ago; Mrs. Marsh's maiden name was Mary Ann Young. They have four children, and they were married at Margate. The witness was then cross-examined by the defen dant, and said, I never saw Mrs. Marsh in your cum. pany ; I never saw any thing in her conduct improper; Mrs. Marsh has ,been living about twelve or fourteen months in her present house ; Mr. Marsh went away some time before that ; she was then living somewhere on Dane-hill, in another part of the town ; before that, they had been living in the barracks at Deal ; plaintiff then was a Captain's clerk in the Admiralty Office ; he held that situation before he was married ; they lived at Deal about six years; he left Deal in con sequence of the ill-treatment of his wife ; never saw.him ill-treat her, but I know that she has received bruises from him of a •ery serious nature; I have heard her complain from the very first of her marriage that he had treated her ill ; she was obliged to threaten to leave him,but I do not know t*at she did so; I received an inti• mation from old Mrs. Marsh respecting the impropriety of your visits ; that was just before her husband came home ; I understood that you had frequently gone there, but I paid very little attention to . what she said, know ing that she was an enemy to my sister-in-law. James Allen—l am twelve years old ; I lived in the house with Mrs. Marsh ; I went there in July last year, and lived there about six months; Mr. Marsh was at sea then ; 1 know defendant, and used to see him at the house; he sometimes came twice a day; I have seen Mrs. Marsh and Mr. Harris sometimes sit in the same chair together; once saw him kiss her, and put his hands on her neck ; sometimes I was sent away when they were together; I have seen the defendant in Mrs. Marsh's bedroom ; she was then with him; before they went into the bed room they were in the drawing-room, sitting close together ; they stayed in the bed-room about half an hour; I did not mark how Mrs. Marsh's dress was when she came out; I never saw the defendant in the bed-room but once. Cross-examined—l left Mrs. Marsh's before Christ mas, but I do not remember when it was that I saw you in the bed room; it was some time before I went away from the house, perhaps two or three months; I saw your hands on the back part of Mrs. Marsh's neck twice, I think ; you had been in the drawing room about an hour before you went into the bed room ; she went in first, and you went in afterwards, and remained there about half an hour ; I do not know whether you went there to wash your hands or not; I do not remember hearing any conversation that passed between you at that time; about a month after this I saw you kiss her. Thomas Foster—l am fourteen years old ;in Septem ber last I lived at Mrs. Marsh's house; I used to see de fendant there frequently; Thomas Marsh's birth-day occurred in October, and there was a little party on the occasion ; defendant was there; 1 first saw him in the parlour with Mrs. Marsh ; after that they went into the drawing-room, which was up stairs; we were all in the drawing-room together; about half an hour after that, defendant and Mrs. Marsh went into the bed-room; before that, defendant took her on his knee, and put his arms round her neck; there were six of us, playmates of the thildren, present at the time; Mrs. Marsh's four children were among the number, the eldest of whom is about seven or eight years old ; when they went into the bed-room, the door was shit; they remained there for about a quarter of an hour • on coming out, Mrs. Marsh said, •' You have spoiled my band;" he said, 4, never mind, I'll buy you a new ofte"—(A laugh). Cross-examined—My mother has four children besides myself ; Mrs. Marsh went into the bed room first, and I saw you go in afterwards; I could see through the crack of the door that you went into that room ; when you returned you had your cuffs turned up, as if you had been washing your hands, but you were not wiping them; my mother and Mrs. arsh have lately been at variance. Mrs. Foster—l am the mother of the last witness; I went to lodge, in September last, at Mrs. Marsh's house ; defendant came there eery frequently ; I bus seen him there at aloe at night; the children used to be in the room wigt them ; I have seed Mrs. Marsh's dress open and torn ; I left in Nuremlattr, because! did aot approva of their conduct towards each other. Cross•eramined—l have known Marsh and his wife upwards of seven years; I first became acquainted with them at Deal ; I think they left Deal in December, 1826 ; plaintiff was superseded, but I do net know for what cause; Mrs. Marsh used to complain of the treat ment of her husband ; I was once sent for to go to her ; they had had some words, and I believe chef had been fighting ; she had marks of violence on her, her face was discoloured, and she was confined to her bed ; she had a swelling under her throat; her life was not de. spaired of, for she recovered in three or four days; the plaintiff was put under arrest. Q. When we were all together, was I not equally fa miliar with you as with Mrs. larsh?—(A laugh).— A. Not chat I know of--(a laugh); you said, is How do you do, Mrs. Foster?" and I said, " Pretty well, thank ye, Mr. Harris." A letter was here put in by Mr.SergeantWlLDE, from Mrs. Marsh to her husband, for the purpose of explain ing the quarrel that had taken place bttween them.— She in that letter attributed their quarrel to her love of drink, and promised faithfully that if he would not separate from her, she would never give way to that passion again. Rev. J. Taylor—l knew plaintiff and his wife some time ago, and I saw nothing unkind in his conduct to wards her. Lieutenant Johnson—l have known plaintiff upwards of seven years, and have served with him. He appeared to me to live with his wife oa the most harmonious terms. I have not seen them together for the last two years. Lieutenant Kitchin—l have known plaintiff since the year 1819. From 1822 to 1825, I had an opportunity of witnessing his conduct towards his wife, and it was always kind and attentive. My acquaintance with'hint ceased in January, 1825. Mr: Marsh, senior—The plaintiff joined the Asia in Dec. 1827, and did not come back till a month ago. Cross-examined—My son never behaved ill to his wife, but she did to him ; he was discharged from Deal becanie he came home a little in liquor one night and got into a quarrel with his wife, and in consequence of that they took advantage of the opportunity of turning him out, because his wife was a general nuisance in the barracks, and had insulted every body there. This was the case for the plaintiff. The defendant contended that the fact of adultery was not made out against him, but that there were only conclusions to ga upon. He was then about to enter into a long history of what had taken place, but the Chief Justice warned him that be had better not do so, unless he intended to prove what he said by witnesses. Under these circumstances the defendant declined say ing any thing further, merely observing that he should not have appeared in person had he been able to fee Counsel, but that he was really not worth one shilling in the world. The CHIRP JUSTICE then summed up, leaving it to the July to say, first, whether the criminal intercourse had taken place? and secondly, Owing to the plaintiff's ill-treatment of his wife, what damages he deserved ? The Jury deliberated for a few minutes, and found for plaintiff—Damages, One Shilling. The Belfast steam-vessel, from the Douro, which has been expected for some days past, arrived at Plymouth on. Friday. The Marquis PALYILLA, and several other Portuguese Noblemen who were passengers in her, have arrived in town. Some of the shareholders of the Dublin Theatre, and Mr. Bunn, the lessee, have had a serious disagreement, and a meeting has taken place in Dublin, to consider of the best mode of resisting what the shareholder's term an aggression of their rights. The Manchester and Newcastle Papers cont - rin long accounts of inundations fom the late heavy rains. At Stockport, the premises of Mr. Matsland were under mined, and a part of the building fell into the .water, carrying with it about a thousand pieces of cklico and other property. Several other buildings were more or less injured, and the destruction of hay, corn, and po tatoes, was very great. In the neighbourhood of Sun derland and Durham, and many other parts of the country', the damage has also proved extensive. An Inquest was held on the body of M. Fitzgerald, Esq. a Gentleman of Consideiable literary attainments, who expired suddenly at his lodgings in Portugal -street. It appeared, that for some time past he had laboured under strong nervous debility, and on 'Wednesday *as seized with a fit, from which, by medical assistance, he partially recovered ; but was quickly seized with a second, which terminated his existence. A medical Gentleman, who opened the head, discovered a quan tity of fluid' between the membranes and ventricle of the brain, which caused apoplexy. Verdict, Died by the Visitation of Gon.
