A handsome new Church, at the estimited expense tf 24,0001. of which sum 18,0001. has already been suDsctibed, is about to be erected he.e upon the high ground on a level with the fort. The spot is already, marked out. less than five steam-packets arrived yesterday from the metropolis, bringing at least .500 p.,ssengers. Passed bykin the afternoon the Royal Sovereign yacht, towed by the George the Fourth steam-packet, on its way to Hamburgh ; at which port the Duke and Duchess ofiClarence will embat k in her for this country. Also passed by, tc.wed by a steam-vessel, an old 74! • -.man of war, from Portsmonth for sheerness, in order to be broken up at the latter port. It will the recoltec:e.t, that last winter, during a violent vet., a merchant vessel was driven on the studs near this place, and in ten minutes, with all the crew, totally sunk; it being impossible to tender the unfortunate persons on board any assistance; though .they were seen clinging to the highest part of the ship, .as lung as any of her remained above water. From one or two planks, which, a long time after, were washed on shore, it was conjectured that the vessel was one laden with brandy, which had been expected in London about the time the accident happened, but had never arrived. In order to trace this more accu rately, that the owners may be able to recover against the underwriters, a brig has lately been stationed off the spot, with every requisite apparatus. for procuring any part of the ship or cargo. Hitherto all attempts to attain this object have failed of success. A number of masons and labourers are actively em ployed in completing the new esplanade in front of the houses in the London-road. This, when finished, will form a delightful promenade. New baths are about to be erected in this neighbourhood, for which a shaft has already been sunk of sufficient depth to procure water at all times of the tide. A similar undertaking, but of a more novel kind, has been commenced at the other end of the town by Mr. Boyce, an Attorney and Magistrate of the county.— Several spacious excavations have been made in the cliff, which are to contain warm baths, while the arched passage leading to them has an opening to the beach for the purpose of sea-bathing. The chimney to the baths is in the shape of a handsome obelisk upon the cliff, serving also as a seamark. Two new packets are building by the General Steam Navigation Company, each of 120• horse power; they will be launched previous to the commencement of next season. The loss incurred by speculators in consequence of the fall which has taken place in the French 3 per Cents. since the first day of their emission, is calculated by the Aristarque at no less a sum than fifty millions of francs. Sunday night five valuable horses were stolen from a field near Edgware, belonging to a Mr. Thomesos, of Kilburn, who, we believe, had the care of them. They were valued at about 700 guineas. One of them was stated tribe the property of Chief Justice Basr. On Thursday last about 100 Highlanders of both sexes, from the parish of Little Dunkeld, voluntarily assembled at the manse of Lethendy, and cut down the whole crop, on the glebe and farm of the Rev. Law rence Butter, from respect to him as a friend to High landers and their language. It seems that England is not the only country from which gold is exported. A post-chaise drawn by three horses, had severel times of late passed through Va lenciennes. •Its frequent appearance at length excited suspicion, and it was stepped on the 30th bit. early in the morning at the gate of Mona. The conductors de clared that it belonged to Messrs. ROTHSCHILD ; but the power of that name did not check the Custom-house Officers, who persisted in making a search, and found thirty-one gold ingots, weighing 615 kilograms, and worth 2,000,000 twa t which were seized, togethci with the carriage. LITERATURE. Remarks on Steam Navigation, and its Protection, Re gulation, and ElWOlff!gewrent, be a Letter to the Right Honourable William Huainan. By 1:11031Aa ahLD, Civil Engineer. Bvo. London, 1825. This is a very sensible and well-written pamphlet on a subject of considerable importance in a commercial country where steam navigation is so rapidly extending itself. It is a homely proverb, that children and un skilful persons should not meddle with sharp tools, and it is eqhally desirable that unskilful persons should have nothing to do with steam-engines, which, to use another honotr simile, are good servants, but bad masters. — Mr. Tredgold's pamphlet has for its object the este- Inspectrrs at every sea-port where steam ves,els are used, to see and certify that the engines are consti ucted of proper materials, and in perfect repair. Of the advantages of such a regulation there can be no doubt, and the extension of steam navigation seems to render it necessary. The following is Mr. Tredgold's plan is The plan I propose for guarding against any seri ous accident, as much as possible, is to establish an au thorized inspector, of known respectability and reputa tion in his profession, at each station or port from whence steam-vessels go, and to furnish him with a code of in structions to guide him in the performance othis duty ; of which instructions copies should be accessible, at a moderate charge to the public. And it should be enacted and be a law, that each master of a steam-vessel should, previous to the departure of his vessel, give notice to the inspector, and allow him full liberty to inspect the vessel apd its engines. Also that the inspector should furai h the master of the vessel with a certificate of such inspection bearing his signature, and the date of inspec- Ition, to be placed in a conspicuous part of the vessel, for the perusal and satisfaction of tee passengers. This certificate to be granted only on condition of the vessel .being in a fit state for her voyage in regard to strength, protection from danger or fire, good condition of . boilers and machinery, and proper provision for escape in case of danger ; all of which are to be judged of by the rules given in the code of instructions. " And that this duty may be performed in a proper manner, and without prejudice, I further propose, that a regular report of the state of all vessels examined should to forwarded to the office of a principal super intendent or director in the metropolis, as a che.k upon the conduct of the reporting inspectors. " The principal difficulty would arise in forming a cede of instructions ; but whatever this difficulty raay be, it will be an invaluable document, if formed in a prnplr manner. For that body of instructions, which will enable an inspector to judge of the fitness of a machine, wtiether of new or old invention, must also be a most perfect guide for the manufacturer: and I presume that no one will venture to assert that any single manufacturer could form an equivalent one to guide his conduct in the manufacture of engines.— i ilence, the labours of a Committee appointed to ma nage this important department, would be a means of perfecting a most desirable improvement in the appli cation of steam or other engines, even were they to furnish only a code of instructions ; as they would have it in their power to make most of the 'scientific and practical knowledge in the country instrumental in effecting this object. " It is. scarcely possible for any eee,not en engineer, to form an adequate idea of _die good .that would re sult from a settled scale of proportions for engines, ac cording to their different powers. It would equally guard against the mistakes of those who calculate, and the uncettainties of those who guess the bulk _that is competent to resist_the strains in a steam-vessel. It must tender the estimation of expense less difficult, and more Certain; and relieve the proprietors of steam vessels from the trouble of comparing and judging re specting the cortrpetency of a specified plan, or of a new engine for a vessel. , 1 That there is knowledge existing in this country sufficient to give a high degree of perfect on to a code of instructions for the manufacture of engines for steam-vessels will not be doubted; but the means of bringing this knowledge to bear on the subject is not quite so obvious. If a set of queries were proposed to men conversant only with the pure sciences, the an swers would no doubt be as discordant as those were respecting a project for an arch of six hundred feet span, which was once designed for a bridge across the. Thames. On the contrary, it you place before a snan of science a fair and clear system of reasoning, by which certain proportions and rules have been ob tained, and then inquire whether they have been truly and accurately investigated or not, and whether, to the best of his judgment, any questionable principle has been reasoned upon, then a definite and rational answer would be given. But a professor who has reasoned all his life on the supposition that mechanical bodies are perfectly bard, perfectly smooth, and perfectly inflexible, is not aware of the difference which results from soft ness, friction, flexibility, temperature, and various other causes well known to practical men ; and, therefore, it is too much to expect from him a knowledge of all the circumstances which is - erfere with the pure mathe matical theory of magnitude and velocity, unless they be detailed before him. so The first efficient steam-vessel in Britain was started on the Clyde only, in 1811 ; and the rapid ad vances which has since been making every season, in. adding new vessels, in sailing to greater distances, and through heavier seas, at once indicates the value f this application of steam-power, and the necessity of guard ing against its abuse. In 1823, them were upwards of one hundred and sixty British-built steam.vessels, and twenty-two of these were of two hundred tons' burden, or upwards." We (says the Birmingham Gazette) are authorised to state, that Mr. Bosh has commenced an action againic the Pro- prietors of a Loader% Journal, for a libel on the char a cter of Mrs. Beer. IRISH RIPRESENTATIVE Putt.,--.We have good rea son for stating that Lord FARNHAM is likely to be the re ptesentative Peer, in the room of the late Lord Do- Notionstosta.---Dublin livening Mad. Johnson's Margate Van was robbed, on Thursday last, between Birchington and Margate of a portman teau, containing amongst other property, a considerable sum in notes of the Northampton Bank, a Bank of Eng. land note, and a check on Esdaile and Co. The water was let out of the Bristol Float laib week, w' en the body of a man was discovered, which appeared to be that of Mr. Mellor, brother to the late Ulysses Mellor, who met his death some time since from a woman in St. Philip's parish. Promissory totes to 'a consiicrable amoutVabut long since- overdue, were found in his pocket.

His body was re covered about a quarter of an hour afterward, and tb, attendance of surgeons promptly procured, by whnm the usual means of resuscitation were used for neatly three hours, but without effect, owing,- as is supposed, to his having swallowed a quantity of s.ind.

Deodand Is. 111•11=1.1 Tuesday evening last, the infant daughter of Mt, Howell, of South Villa House, Cheltenham, w as suf fered, whilst at play, to eat some berries of the labur num tree, by which she was nearly poisoned. The effect is- similar to the toreor produced by laudanum ; and but for the timely inierference of Mr. Eves, of that town, surgeon, she must have perished; her recover) occupied between three and four hours, during which time ilverd was the utmost difficulty in keeping her awake. In . alt the great houses of Cairo, the earthen vessels for containing the water are perfumed. They fist put into the vase tome mastic, and Ita substance called ma kergourivie, which is Wrought from Upper Egyr.— They then clarify the water wish almond paste, co .1 it by the evaporating jars, and thus it is made fi for drinking. The Arabs, in Egypt, sow the seed of the indigo plant only oi-ce in seven years, and obtain from it two crops in each ye Ir. They cut it green, when about two feet in height ; it is then put into boiling water, and left in jars for several days : after which it acquires, the blue colour. The French first taught them to boil the plant, and use the scum for a dye. The water of the Nile is one of the purest known ; remarkabie for its easy digestion by the stomach, and for its salutary qualities in all the uses to wh ch it is ap plied. The mud or slime left by this water contains neatly half its weight of alumine, in a state of great purity. The rest is carbonate of lime, water, carbon, iron oxyde, silex, and carbonate of magnesia. The persons engaged in aviculture in Egypt, regard it as a sufficient manure, without any addition of dung ; which they reserve for other purposes, principally for fuel. BRADFORD WiAVEßS.—•Affairs at Bradford, are , drawing fast towards their catastrophe. List Monday, the masters held a meeting at. the Sun Inn,. and came to two important resolutions. - First—To resume the working of their mills, which are now again in opera Lion ; and second—to 'address a circular to all the worsted spinners and manufacturers in the neigh bouring towns, explanatory of their views, and calling for the co-operation of the masters in the same trade. These documents were forwarded on Tuesday, to the principal worsted spinners and manufacturers in Baildon, Bingley, Cleckheatnn; Darlington, Halifax, 'Keighley, Lancaster, Leeds,, IVlVittatt, Rochdale, Stee ton, Sutton, and Wilsden ; and, it is, we believe, well understood, though not expressed, that if the masers in these places, generally consent to make common cause with the masters of Bradford, and to stop their works altogether, the resistance against the Union will still continue, and tbe'field of contest will be thus greatly estended ; but if on the contrary, the manufac turers in those other places do not generally consent to make common cause, tha Bradford manufacturers will dissolve their Association, and Make the best terms with the men they are able. We copy the following pathetic anecdote from Me moirs relative to the War in the Peninsula, written by a 6 Subaltern,' and now publishing in Blackwood:— " A fine young Irishman, the pay-serjeant of my own company, had brought his wife with him to the seat of war. He married her, it appeared against the wish of her relations, they consideting themselves in a walk of life superior to his. To what class of society they be longed I cannot tell, but. she, I know, was a lady't-mald to some person of rank, when the handsome and manly form of M'Dermot stole her heart away. They had been married about a year and a half, during the whole of which time she had borne the most unble mished chara:ter, and they were accounted the most virtuous and the happiest couple in the Regiment. Poor things! they were this day separated for ever ! el *Dermot was as brave and good a soldier as any in the army; he was, at times, even f.ml-hardy ; having observed a raw recruit or two cower down in no very dignified manner, as a cannon-ball passed over them, M'Dermot, by way by teaching them to despise dan ger, threw himself at his ease on the summit of Sand.hill.mith his he id towards the enemy's guns. He was in the very act of laughing at these lads, assuring them that 6 every ballet his its billet,' when a round shot struck him on the crown of his head, and smashed him to atoms. I shall never 'forget the shriek that was raised. He was a piodigious favourite with all ranks, and then all of us thought of his poor young wife, so spotless, and so completely wrapped tip in him. 6 0! who will tell Nance of this?' said another non-commis sioned officer, his principal companion. 6 Poor Nance!' cried the soldiers, one, and all ; s, true is it that virtue is respected, and a virtuous woman beloved, even by common soldiers. But there was no hiding it from Nance; the news reached her, Heaven knows how, long before we returned to our teats : and she was in the midst of us, in a state which beggars all description, in five minutes after the event took place. " I Cannot delineate the scene which followed.— The poor creature was evidently deranged, for she would not believe that the mangled carcase before her was he: husband, and she never shed a tear. 6 That, 0 that is not he!' cried she, that M'Dermot—my own hand some, beautiful M‘Dermot! 0 no, no—take it away, or take me away, and bring me to him !' She was re moved with gentle violence to' the camp, 'and the body was buried; a young fir tree being planted over it. " Several days elapsed before Mrs. IVl•Dermot was suf ficiently calm tolook her situation in the face. But at length the feeling of utter desolateness came over her; and instead of listening, as women in her situation ge nerally listen, to the proposals of some nevisuitor, all her wishes pointed homewards. Te her home she was accordingly sent. We raistd fur her a handsome sub scription, every officer and man contributing something; and I have reason to believe that she is now respectably settled in Cork, though a widow." - • SPORTING INTELLIGENce: „ . . BETTING -ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, SEPT. , The betting to-day was very brisk, and some slight alteration took place. The three first favourites have each advaneed a little, but Alderman remains as before, scarcely any one backing him. At the early part of the afternoon the odds against Oeveland were 8 1 to 1, but a Gentleman afterwards took 8 to 1 in hundreds to a large amount, and at these odds the betting settled ; in Yorkshire he is said to be a much greater fivoutite. Memnon keeps very steady as first favourite, and it is observed as singular that he should have been first on the betting list since the last Doncaster.

DONCASTER RACES. • There is a continued bustle throughout the town in preparation for our approaching Meeting. Indeed, at no period hale we known greater interest excited. Lodgings are taken for natty families of the Nobility and Gentry whose names have not before graced our lists. A regular subscription betting-morn, upon the principal of Tattersall's, which has beea sanctioned by a great number of the Nobility and Gentlemen, will be opened for subscribers only. The evenings fixed on by the Stewards for the race balls are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The quadrille band of Messrs. Michau. Cullinet, and alusard, are engaged.—The following is the order in• which the races will'be run :•••-• MONDA.I*—The Fitzwilliam Stakes, four-year olds—Produce, Champagne, King's Plate, and Handicap. Tuasnar.—Two-year olds—Proditce, Great St. Leger, Don caster Stakes, and Corporation Plate.

Bartleman, of Royston, and two other Gentlemen of the names of Montgomery and Maitland, matched themselves for 100 . son, to kill in six hours, on the Ist of Septemher, one hundred and fifty head of game. The parties commenced operations at day break, and after two hours' shooting, Mr. Bardeman killed from the starting place, at Puckendge, Herts, over the manors to the right of Coller's-end, thirty-nine partridges and four bares. Mr. Montgomery killed, over the enclosures towards Cambridge, forty partridges and two bares, and Sir. Maitland, who beat towards Knivetun, killed thirty-seven birds and three hares. The whole produce killed at the expiration of the time (twelve o'clock) was one hundred and ninety-two head of game. The amount of tea sold at the Company's sales—is about twenty-nine millions of pounds per annum.' Anew Joint Sto:k Company-, ie announcing( their intention of employing chunam as a material for Boors, remark, that, as it has not been so used in this country, it is an an:trodden field for speculation.* This is by no means• a bad pun for the City. A Lady named Crowland, of Peeereburgh, 70 years of age, was vaccinated a few days ago, ftelidg alarm et the prevalence of small-pnx in that neighbourhood. Friday morning .betw en the hours or 'teen and eight o'clock,. a bricklayer named Patrick Collins, was se verely beaten by two men, also bricklayets, in BarFack street. It is supposed that the cause of this assault is, Collins having refused to jom a the turn-out." The assail sacs have for the present escaped. The intention to open a new French Theatre at tile Argyll Rooms, is abandoned, tie Lord Chamberlain, it is said, having refused the application for a liCense; though it was supported by some of the very first per sonages in the fashionable world. A Miss Cranstone, who eloped with Captain from Streatham, on Friday last, was overtaken at Can terbuty, supping with her inamorato the same night, and was safely c,•nveyed back home by her brother. — They were traced from Croy don, which they left' in a single-horse chaise. Newcome, the constable, who was so seriously in. jored on Wednesday night,`at Vaushall, by in Irishman named Reardon, who was emphyed by the proptietdrs to preserve the musical temple from being injured by the company, now lies in an extremely dangeroui state,* there being a concussion of the brain in consequence of the wound inflicted by a blow from Reardon's staff.- Two or three Medical Gentlemen who attend Newcome, anticjpaed that he would die before Sunday night was over. Should he not recover, Reardon will have to take his trial for murder. SUDDIN DaATU.—On Sunray Mr. William Gard ner; an old and respectable inhabitant of Richmond, well known from his having many years very usefully, and beneficially for the parish, acted as one of the Mete Vestrymen, and also as a Sideman, died suddenly. He had attended the morning church service, ap pa.ently in good health, sat down to dinner with his wife, who is now confined with a second child (born about three weeks since), and when in the act of helping himself to some vegetables, fell down and instantly ex pired. The Rev. Mr. 'GANDY, the much respected Vicar, took occasion, at the end of his sermon in the afternoon, to mention the circumstance, and most im pressively, although extemporaneously, inculcated, with the greatest oratory, the good deducible from the awful visitation. Mr. Graham, accompanied ley . Miss Dawson, made a beautiful ascent from the gas-works at Kendal, on Tuesday last, at half-past five o clock. After remain ing in the atmosphere one hour and five minutes, they easily effected a landing at the foot of Murton Pike, about four miles from Appleby, and twenty-nine miles from Kendal, on the estate of Lord Grantham. • BALLOON Akira. FROM HULL.—Wednesday 'last, Mr. Brown, of Sheffield, ascended from the Citadel, ;ag Hull, in his balloon, amidst an immense concourse of people assembled on the occasion, and at half-past four the ascent was commenced. The car did n t clear the bank of the Citadel without a very severe concussion--; it, however, soon got above it, and rising over the har- ' boor, amidst the cheers of the multitude, was seen as cending more than a quarter of an hour. When about two miles in height it moved aboly, but majestically, over the town of Hull, then mee ing with a different cot , rent of air, it rapidly passed to the east. and effected a very fine descent about one mile beyond Suiten, in Holderness ; thus enablidg Mr. Brown to rei urn to Hull in little more than one Ewer hum the time of his de-; .parttire. .
