BOULOGNIL-SUR-MER, AUG. 27. 1825. • Stli—Wedne,-lay List being appointed for the arrival of this august princess within the walls of our town, the greets through wh;ch she was to pas., and the ram parts commanding a view of the splendid mansion fitted up for the reception of her Royal Highness, were crowded by every description of persons, as early as three o'clock; nor was it till after sundry disappoint ments, and numerous false alarms, that about six o'clock the town bells and the cracking of whips an nounced the Royal Visitor in propria persona, when the mother of a future King entered the town, in all the dign:ty of jack-booted postillions, rope harness, and dirty equipages ! Her reception from the Authorities was cordial and respectful. The day after her arrival, the Duchess visited the far-famed botanical gardens of De Courser. After dinner, her Royal Highness repaired to the Theatre, where she was well received by a crowded audience: the prices of admission.were raised for the occasion to ten francs, instead of two francs, boxes. Friday morning, M. Versiel's Rooms were opened, to Subscribers onlli, where, after her return .from an aquatic excursion, her Royal Highness ho noured a Concert with her presence. The remainder of this day was dedicated to presentations of the Eng lish, when Mr. Hamilton, British Consul, and the Rev. Mr. Symonds, British Chaplain, with a few other Gen tlemen of the first respectability, were presented to the Duchess. The same evening, a most splendid Ball was given by the Authorities of the town to her Royal Highness, for whom a throne was erected in the centre of the room. She entered at ten precisely, accompanied by her Ladies in Waiting and the Officers of her House hold. The Mayor led out her Royal Highness in a quadrille composed of French and English, selected for the purpose. The following instance of condescension in the Duchess won the hearts of all :—Seeing an Eng. lish Officer (Lieutenant Gore, lace of the Life Guards) without a partner at the commencement of a quadrille, her Royal Highness was pleased to honour him with her hand. The Ball was crowded to excess, and kept up to a late hour. The condescension of the Duchess, and the good humour of the company, rendered the whole assembly peculiarly agreeable. Fourteen hun dred French and English were supposed to have been present, amongst the latter, ofdistinction,we remarked— Viscount and Viscountess Bury ; Viscounts Neville and Ventry ; the Countess of Belmore ; Sir Thomas Tancred, Bart. Sir Gren ville Temple, But. and Lady; Sir R. Jephson, Bart. Colonel Sir John and the Hon. Lady Harvey; Ladies Drummond, C. Gould, Eyre, and Young ; Sir Jonah and Lady Barrington, Sir J. and Lady Homfray, Sir R. and Lady Henegan ; Generals Meyrick, Shaw, Ilawkes, Pye; Colonels Tucter, Smith, Knight, Spicer; 3lajor9 Agnew and Fellowes, and families, &c. &c. Rev. Messrs. Symons, Bury, Tomkins, Emmet ; Messrs. Hamilton, Savage, renwidr, Gore, Hamilton (Consul), and their families; besides s4veral others ohigh respectability. Her Royal Highness, who leaves us this morning, has taken every opportunity of initiating herself into the good graces of the Boulonnais. She is particularly popular with the fishwomen, who yell with astounding clamour wherever she appears: this is owing to her having bathed two or three times during her stay, when she has with great good nature shewn them several lit tle acts of kindness. The Earl and Countess of KINNOUL have arrived at Dupplin Cas:le from London. klis Highness Prince WILLIAM of Brunswick, ac companied by Baron VANHOUISSON, left Edinburgh on Thursday for Stirling, from whence be continues bis tour to Inverness. Thursday se'nnight, as Lord LYNEDOCH was crossing a wooden bridge over the Water of Lee, in Glenesk, the structure gave way, and his Lordship was precipitated from a conticlerable height into the stream. He sus tained considerable injury, but is recovering. SCOTCH MARRIAGE.—Last week a marriage was ce lebrated in the shop of Messrs. Griffin and Co. in Wil son -street, Glasgow, under circumstances which ap peared not a little extraordinary to Mr. Griffin, as an Englishman. The anxious couple, with two witnesses, came into the shop on perceiving one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace standing at the counter, and without preface or apology of any sort, requested to be married. The Justice went through the form in a few seconds. He inquired if they consented to become man and wife? and on receiving an answer in the affirma tive, declared them accordingly to be married persons. The female was a very genteel and interesting looking young woman, and her lover appeared alss to be above the ordinary rank of clandestine marriage folks. There mete two other Gentlemen standing by, who were not aware that so important an affair had been going on, • entil the company had lift the premises. ~~ ~, * . • ".

JURIES: Monday se'nnight, ait Inquest was held on the a child, six years old, of the name of Archer, of ingley, who bad died suddenly on Saturday abqut. night, from same cause that was not ascertained: It appeared that, in the course of the day, the child had been in Mr. George Heapes brewhouse, and that the workmen had given him, most improperly, so large a quantity of beer, as to render the child dead drunk. Ms liquor, it was supposed, might have occasioned his death, and a suspicion aroseipat it contained some de leterious drug. Several surgeons in consequence at tended, and both the liquor in the barrel and the con tents of.the child's stomach were analyzed. After two adjournments ' the Joey returned a verdict on Thursday evening, of "Died in consequence of having taken in wardly some deleterious substance, but of wh it nature no evidence appears to the jurors, or how or by whom administered." The workmen, it seems, each of them drank freely of the beer, without being in any way dis ordered, and the probability is that the child, who had been in the fields in the course of the day, had picked up and eaten some noxious fungus, which, aggravated by intoxication, produced its death. This conjecture de rives consider able force from Mr. Bedford, the chyrnist, having stated in his evidence before the Jury, that the contents of the stomach when boiled, smelt of mush rooms. The barrel, from . which the beer had been drawn, with the dregs, and part of the remaining liquor, were very che:rfully given up by Mr. Heaps to be examined. .~ . ; Another Inquest took place on Saturday afternoon, at the instance of the friends of a female named Mary Lawless, the wife pf an Irish labourer, who died in childbeA, on Thursday last, it having been supposed by some of them that _proper assistance had not been timely affordel her. The Coroner issued his warrant, and the Jury assembled at the York Arms, East -street, Manchester-square, in which neighbourhood great in terest hid been excited in the class in which the de ' ceased moved. The deceased had applied for assist ance as an out-patient at Queen Charintte's Lying-in Hospital, situate in the New-road, St. Mary-la-bonne, and obtained an order for the regular attendance on her whenever it should be required, and a midw fe w•a, appointed to attend her. After a most minute and patient investigation, which lasted three hours and a half, the Jury unanimously returned a verdict----“ That the deceased died in child-bed, having had every assist ance rendered her." aloha Goodrich, a remarkably robust young man (who had been stated to resemble the strong man in the group of figures in Mr. West's celebrated picture of " Death on the Pale Horse,") had an accident lately, occasioned by the scaffolding falling on his head, at the new buildings in Wilton-place, Knightsbridge. About a fortnight ago he went to the St. George's Hospital as out-patient, where every attention was paid him, and in a few days he was declared convalescent. He then very incautiously undertook to watch for one night some of the new buildings, and the consequence was .a severe cold, and his health became worse. His wife vent to the parish apothtcatiy, who attended him and sent medicines, which again appeared to do good. The Doctor, again visited him and wrote a prescription, which was seam be made up, and was entrusted to one of the workhouse boys; who, mistaking drachms for grains of some powerful drug, unfortunately made a serious Mistake in the-composition of.the recipe, which being taken by the patient, he was soon seized wth violent vomiting to 'such a degree that the blood gushed from his mouth, nose, ears, &c. and he expired shortly after in dreadful agony, on Friday. ;Saturday a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body at the Sloane's Head, New -street, Hans Town, where the above facts were developed by the witnesses, and • a verdict of u Accidental Death" was recorded üby incautiously mixing and administering improper medicine." The master linen-drapers, &c. of London, have held another Meeting at the City of London Coffee•house, the object of which was to collect the signatures of those who have consented to the new regulations for closing their shops at an earlier hour in the evening. The number of those who have subscribed to the mea sure amounts to between four and five hundred. An amendment on the former resolution for closing the shops, substitutes the time of eight in the winter, and nine in the summer. THE SUNDERLAND SEAMEN.-It will be seen from the following letter, that some of the Sunderland sailors ate still pursuing their illegal courses: " Sunderland, August 26. _ _ _ " I am sorrry to inform yo*, that the Union Seamen here last night again took the men out of a vessel, and would not allow her to ge to sea (the ship's name the Harmony, Messrs. Hubbard and Harrison owners), and they beat the mate very severely, and also most. of the crew. In consequence of this outrage, the Police and special constables were called on to muster at the Exchange at tide time this morning, when a party of the 69th Infantry were under arms, as well as a detachment of the 3d Dragoon Guards, ready to mount. The men who had been ill-treated were then escorted by the police, &c. on board the Harmony, and the vessel proceeded to sea without opposition, although a number of sailors had assembled on the quays. The men who were beat declare that they do not know the men who boarded them, but it is thought they know them well enough, but that they dare not give informa tion. The plea set up by the Union Seamen is, that a part of the crew were strangers, but this, I understand, was not the case ; at all events, the men who were taken out had been for some time in the same ship." MUSLIN MANUFACTURES.— A Glasgow Paper says, 44 The improvements in t':e manufacturing of muslins appear daily on the increase. A very few years ago, the bleaching of webs in the chain was introduced, and it is now become very general ; and dying has been 'successfully performed in Mr. Forrester 's starching work, Par klarre, Mile-end. This novel process, which is very simple, and all done by machinery, reflects great credit on the ingenious inventor. It is a much superior and more level dye than can be done in the hank; and what is of great importance, it is a saving to the manu facturer, of from five to ten per cent. accordingtu the fineness of the yarn." The tide-waiter at Farehim Quay effected a most valuable seizure on the night of Monday ae'nnight. A large sloop, laden with timber, entered the harbour on the€ morning of that day, and• was examined by some Custom-house officers, to whom they stated that the timber was consigned to the dock-yard; circumstances having induced the tide-waiter to examine her, it was discovered that she had on board 255 kegs of foreign spirits under the cargo, and 200 more had been sent on shore, with which the smugglers escape 3.

In all England it was observed that the crack shots of the Battersea Clubs, Messrs.

Total. 1.27 126 EXTRAORDINARY FOOTRACE. • A young man undertook, this morning, to run from the eoor of the White Horse, Woolwich, to the Maidenhead, Battle=fridge. in nne hour and a half; which he accomplished twenty minutes within the given time. He started at four o'clock, and came in at ten minutes past five, somewhat fatigued. A number of bets were depending on the issue, and Mr. Wilkinson, the pedestrian, backed himself for 401. A calamity; which has thrown a most respectable family into the greatest distress, occurred on Sathrday evening, - at Boyles Point, six milts from Egham. Two youths, Henry, 17, and John, 16 years of age. son. 4. of Mr. W elcup,V of Southam, who were on a at• Mr. Melcornbe's, on the spot where the accident happened, ~ went out to bathe in a punt, -with three others, under their own management. It appears that they all got into the water, and returned again to the boat, when the elder Welcup, who was esttemed an expert swim flier, took a dive from the boat, and was drowned. His struggle in the water excited alarm, and his brother and a youth of the name of Paisley jumped overboard after Henry, who sunk to rise no more; and but for a man of the name of Johnson, who was passiaig by at the time, the two last mentioned youths would have been drowned. The deceased was going to Eton School at the next vacation, .and was a youth of very pro mising talent. LONDONDERRY ' AUGUST 24.—0 n the morning of the 21st instant, Mr. Goff, supervisor of Rimelton, having received information of a still at work in the townland of Kilmacrenan, proceeded thence, with Ensign M'Coy, of the 2d Royal Veteran Battalion, and a patty, consisting of a serjeant and thirteen men. Having seized the still, and while in the act of de stroying the potale and vessels, a numerous mob that bad collected, surrounded the party, and demanded the seizure to be given up, with which demand Mr. Goff peremptorily refused to comply, when they immediately began to manifest a disposition to attack and disarm the party, collecting round them in vast numbers. Mr. M , Coy, with the utmost coolness and deliberation, ordered Ms men to retreat, which they did for a short distance from the distillery, when they were assailed in the most furious manner, with showers of stones and other missiles; and it was not until Mr. M'Coy was twice knocked down with stones, and received a vio lent blow with a spade, that the soldiers were ordered to fire, when three of the most daring• and hardened offenders fell, two of them being killed on the spot, and the third dreadfully wounded. Of the soldiers one had his arm broken by a stone, and several were seirerely beaten : however, the assailants dispersed, and the seizure was brought into Ramelton, without further molestation. • CONFESSION AND EXECUTION OP JOHN EVANS.— Monday se'nnight, this wretched man suffered the. sen tence of the law, at Brecon, precisely at one o'clock, in the presence of an immense number of spectators. .He died without a struggle, and apparently quite penitent. From the time sentence was passed until the day of his execution, the prisoner continually declared that arniel Rowlands was concerned with him in the murder, which he, at the same time, said was effected by poi son ; but, previous to the administration of the Holy Sicrament to him in the morning, he fully confessed the falsity of such statement, and that. he alone was the sole perpetrator of the crime; in consequence of which the following memorandum was made by the Rev. Mr. JONES, the Chaplain, in the presence of the Under-Sheriff: " Brecon Cntinty Psison, Monday, Aug. 44,1825. " I, the undersigned, consider it to be doe to the character of Daniel Rowlands to state, that the wretched criminal, John Evans, who this day mffeved far the murder of Margaret Williams, pre ohms to his death, actuowledged the Odic* of his sentence, and that rte alma perpetrated this horrid murdet. 1k further seated, that Daniel Rowlands was not implicated jlt the dreadful crime, .and that the evideaceakven by the said 1).
