NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COWES, AUGUST 21 cailed last evening, the United States frigate, Le Goerrier, with his Excellency the Hon. Gronos WASHINGTON CAMPBELL, Minister to the Court of Bassia. The fine appearance of this immense frigate) whose tonnage is 1,507 tons, and length of deck 194 f e et, drew on board her, during her short stay at c or es, a large assemblage of distinguished visitors, a ll of whom were very courteously received by Cap tain M.Doxouou and his Officers. On Saturday the s a rquis of BUCKINGHAM, Earl SPENCER, the Right g un . THOMAS GRENVILLI, Admiral LOCK, the Hon.

We are led to offer this remark from observing the progress that has already been made in establishing the NATIONAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION (founded by Peter Herve, Esq.) for Me relit,* of distressed persons in the middle ranks of we, of whatever country or persuasion.— The retreat and relief which this Institution provides, for a class which had no alternative, under the pri vations of poverty, but either to perish unseen or take refuge with the most ignorant and untutored in a common workhouse, is consoling to persons of feeling and sentiment; and therefore we cannot doubt that this Institution will receive a large portion of their attention, being the only general charity in the king dom for persons of education and talent, who have distinguished themselves by exemplary conduct, but who, in the decline of life, are reduced to poverty— to such a pension of from £lO to £3O per annum is awarded, and the Funds of the Institution have now enabled the Committee to enter upon the second point within their views, viz, to grant loans to indus trious and frugal tradespersons, who by such timely assistance being afforded them, when on the point of relinquishing the employment that enabled them to support their families, have been prevented from en tering a Poor-house. As might be expected, this Institution has been honoured with high and merited patronage. At its head is his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT as Patron ; the Trustees are the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Earl of BRISTOL, and Sir THOMAS BARING, Bart.; and the General Committee is composed of thirty-four Noblemen, Dignitaries of the Church, Gentlemen of rank, for tune, anc: high character. e A General Anniversary Meeting of this Institution is to be held at Freemasons' Hall on Friday, which will doubtless be well attended when it is known that the Duke of KENT will take the Chair (at two o'clock), and that his Royal Consort and many other exalted personages are expected to be present.—Tickets may be obtained at the Office, 45, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, by persons who have or who may be come subscribers. This Institution is supported by annual subscriptions of ss. and upwards, and by do nations and bequests. The Duke of SUSSEX is expected to install Mr. Cone as Provincial Grand Master of Freemasons, at Norwich, in the October Sessions week. The CommisSioners for building additional Churches, in answer to an application from the parish of Windsor, have stated that the meaning of the Act of Parliament does not allow them to ex tend any assistance towards the rebuilding of that parish church. The extent of the population of Brighton may, in some degree, be estimated by the number of stage coaches which daily start from, and return to, that distinguished and highly-favoured watering-place the number is thirty-seven ! ! ! The Right Hon. Jorre FOSTER and Lady arrived at Belfast, from Lord Dl:event:es, end after' ch2eging horses at Linn 's Hotel, they proceeded on to Antrim Castle, the seat of the Countess of MASSAREENE. The number of visitors to the Lakes of Killarney this year, have been more numerous than usual, the fineness of the season having rendered this enchanting scenery peculiarly attractive for some time past. Friday evening a fire broke out in a hed•room at Mr. Bettison's library, Margate, which threatened the destruction of the whole of that elegant building, but providentially by the uncommon exertions of the vi sitants and inhabitants, the fire was extinguished after . consuming the contents of the room. TIIE LATE ROBERT EMMETT.—One day, 2S the Governor was going his rounds, he entered Emmett's room rather abruptly ; and observing a remarkable expression in his countenance, he apologized for the interruption. He had a mark affixed to his little deal table, and appended to it there was a tress of hair.—" You see," said he to the keeper, " how innocently I am occupied. This little tress has long been dear to me, and I am plaiting it to wear in my bosom on the day of my execution !" On the day of that fatal event, there was found sketched by his own hand, with a pen and ink, upon that very table, an admirable likeness of himself, the head severed from the body, which lay near it, sur rounded by the scaffold, the axe, and all the frightful paraphernalia of a high treason execution. What a strange union of tenderness, enthusiasm, and forti tude, do not the above traits of character exhibit ! GRAND DEICE MlCHAEL.—Thursday last, at three o'clock, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke MICHAEL and suite landed from on board his Ma jesty's sloop DRIVER, at Donaghadee from Portpa tl Mc, after a passage of two hours and a quarter.— The inhabitants, anxious to testify their respect for so distinguished a personage, as the brother of oar illus trious and magnanimous ally the Emperor of Russia, assembled in great numbers to receive him. All the vessels in the harbour were decorated on the occa sion. On his Imperial Highness leaving the vessel, a royal salute was fired, which was answered by the two cutters that accompanied the DRIVER, and also by the vessels in the harbour. He was repeatedly cheered on his approach, and that affection and good humour which has ever been the characteristic of the Irish people, was most conspicuously displayed.— Among the many tokens of regard and respect paid to his Imperial Highness, we could not avoid parti cularly noticing a flag at the end of the quay, which, in large characters, contained the following laconic device:—" Your Imperial Highness is th, ice toekome to the Land of Potatoes !" This standard was pre pared and borne by Mr. LEMON, a respectable inha bitant of the town, and agent to the packets. Two of the King's Messengers were in waiting, one of whom was immediately dispatched to acquaint his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT of the GRAND Mar's safe arrival. His Imperial Highness, after a, short delay at SLOAN'S Motel, proceeded, accompa nied by some Gent:ernen of the neighbourhood, to Mount Stewart, the beautiful and hospitable seat of the Most Noble the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, where the partook of an elegant dinner, and in the evening ois surd) hall and *upper. Ir-‘••-4,•-• tOORTINti EG lIA M RA C ES: These Races cortimenced yesterday, but although the sports were excellent, the course was but thinly attended, and there was not that equipage which formerly graced the Runnymeade, and certainly fewer people from London was tarter seen.

ALTHORT •tro PTTCHLZY HOUNDS.—The Althorn and Pytch ley countries will be regularly hunted four times a week, the en suing season, from a kennel about to be built at Brizworth,. near• Northampton. Mr. DENHAM has bought the Duke of HAMIL TON'S bay gelding, by Governor. Exeter Races, last week, have not afforded so much gratificatiOn to the lovers of the turf as the preceding years have done—very few horses having attended, and only three entered for the second day's sport. The weather was extremely fine each day, and the company numerous, consisting of the most fashion able families in Devonshire. The race-stand boasted of an assemblage of rank and beauty seldom or ever equalled ; nor were the , belles in the various vehicles which crowded the course on each side less attractive. The Ordinaries were this year at the New London Inn, but were thinly attended. The Ball at the Egyp tian Hall, at the Ilotol, on the first evening, was ho noured by upwards of 400 of the Nobility and Gentry of the county, who kept up the sprightly dance to a late hour. The second was not so full—about 200. Partridges, from France, were sold last week, in the Island oiJersey, at 2s. a brace. A carrier pigeon, which had been brought down from London to Norwich, was started on Saturday morning from that city, to determine a bet of five guineas, that it returned to town in five hours, which it did in five minutes under the given time. T he same bird arrived in town from Bury, a few days before, in three hours. The present appearance of nightingales in Scotland has revived the following anecdote :—An honest Cam brian, some years ago, was asked in the Pump-room at Bath, ii there were any nightingales in Wales?— " Nightingales!" exclaimed Llewellin ' " what be they then?"—" Birds that sin g . by night," rejoined his friend. " Oh, thcn," exclaimed the Welshman, with great simplicity, " we have plenty of nightingales— but we de call them Owls!" CHANTRY is now employed in giving the last touches to his fine Statue of the late Lord President BLAIR. It is executed at the expense of a distinguish ed number df the Gentlemen of the Scots Bar, by whom this enlightened and independent Judge was equally beloved and revered. The work does honour to the classical taste of the artist, who, though he has clothed the Judge in his official robes, has had the temerity to dispense (hear it not in Westminster Hall!) with the most ancient and legal decoration of wisdom —the wig ! We suspect that this innovation in the costume of the Court will not be relished by the friends of Church and State in the metropolis of Scot land. If the Judges are to be unwigged, and crops introduced on the Bench, there is no saying where the rage will stop. Neither the Bar nor the College of Physicians, nor even the Clergy would be safe ! W© would therefore earnestly recommend it to Mr.' CHANTRY .to have a well " chisselled wig" ready to put on, in case the statue should be attacked in the place of its destination, the Parliament House of Scotland. It is to be placed in that division of the Court, where the eminent person whom it represents presided. It ought to be added, that BLAIR is the second Lord President of the Court of Session, whose memory has been honoured with a statue. The first was DUNC IN Fon e es, " claram etvenerabile 'rumen." Entxsunon.--The following curious account of Edinburgh, at the beginning of tl.e 16th century, drawn up by ALEXANDER ALF.SSE, who was a Canon of St. Andrev.'s, and going abroad at the time of the Reformation, wac n►.ade Professor of Theology at Leipsic, cannot fail to prove amwsing to man) , of our Readers. ALP.SSE W:V: born in Edinburgh in 1500 : In the east end of the town is the magnificent monastery of the I 10l y Cross (or Holy Rood), to which is annexed the King's Palace, surrounded with lovely gardens, beyond which there is a lake, at the foot of l a high hill called Atthur's Seat, on which these is a small chapel dedicated to St. Anthony. In this city arc two large streets, that lie betwixt the Maiden Castle, the Monastery and Palace, pathed with square stones, but principally the King's-street. The suburb towards the west end of the city is about half a mile in length, and is called St. Cuthbert's-street. The town is not built of brick, but of hewn stones ; and the houses are so large and magnificent that they look like palaces. Irom the Palace to the Castle there is one continued street, called the King's Street. The continuation of the King's Street towards the Palace, is called the Chanon Street. From the King's Street, on both sides, run a great many lanes, all adorned with large and stately edifices ; as is likewise the Cowgate, in which the Nobility and Senators of the College of Justice live. And here are the principal buildings in the kingdom, wherein no thing is to be seen that is mean or rustic, but all mag nificent and stately. On the west end of the city there rises a high hill, and a rock, on which is built a castle, inaccess►ble on all sides, but that towards the town ; neither can it be scaled on any other part. In this rock several vultures have their nests, out of which the young ones are often taken by the ventu rous youth, who are let down from the Castle with ropes and baskets or creels, in which they put them:" ~a. tilt A Ail ii On the 20th inst. a Court Martial was held at St; 'feller's, Jersey, on two pritates of the 65th Dee ment, who had deserted to France, and having no passports, were detained and sent back to Jersey. The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and were found guilty. COTTON SPINNERS.. Friday evening the following Prisoners vele con veyed from Manchester to Lancaster Castle, true bills having been found against them by the Grand Jury at the Assizes now holding there, for coespiring to raise their wages as Cotton-spinners, namely: Robert Nicholls Prter Ira! George Webb Robert Resnick Richard Fairbrotherl George Bonin?: Henry Wild William Temple Chanel Ckishe. The trials of these men excite considerable interest amongst the manufaituring Blass. • Last week as a little boy, about nine years of age, was looking at the workmen employed in blowmg up the rocks In the river at Ivy Bridge, a large frag ment fell on his head, whereby his brains were knocked out. The poor father of the child received the me lancholy news of his own mother's demise in the course, of an hour after the accident ! Yesterday, John Cane, a lad, aged 15, belonging to a vessel in the River, while loosing the main-top. gallarit-sail, fell, and was literally dashed to pieces. J. Dawson was also killed yesterday by falling from a ladder with a hod of bricks, while working at a house in Bermondsey. Yesterday a boat, with a party of youths ink, was, by some mismanagement, upset on the Thames, and one of them, named James Hunter, was drowned. The others were with difficulty saved. . _ . _ _ A yeting Ltd, 18 yeart of age, and of most re spectable co;:nezions, was unfortunately drowned while bathing in the sea, at Sanmarez Mielles, Jet• sey, on the evening of 'Monday se'n,i ight. He plunged from the top of a rock into the sea, and was almo-t instantly drowned. A young man who accompanied him to the water side, ❑larmed at his remaining so long under ‘tater, rushed in, and made every pneible effort to save him, but in vain ; he got him, how ever, and then ran almost distracted into town fir assistance. Crowds ran immediately to the spot ; some said that the body was still warm ; but no ap paratus being ready he was lest. When the nens was brought to his family at St. John's, his mother dropt down to all appearance dead ; with great dif ficulty, however, she was brought to life, but Conti nues in a state of distraction ever since. Friday morning, while an auctizneer in Birming ham was selling some lots of furniture, in a room erected over a brew-house in that town, the floor gave way, and all . the persons present were precipitated into the space below. Several persons were mate rially hurt, and taken to the Hospital. A gentleman named Cross was stopped in Dean , street, Wrs - Jr.inster, on Sunday evening, and robbed ot his watch and money. Sunday night, Mr. 'l'.Pinhorn, of Paddington. was met near the Yorkshire Stingo by thiee men, who presorted pistols, placed a gag in his month, to pre vent his giving an alarm, and then robbed him of property to a considerable amount. The Guni Jury of the Ccunty of Cumberland have come to Resolutions upon the necessity of hav ing Spring Assizes for the four Northern Counties. Monday, John Rowe, who was convicted at the last Assizes for sheep-stealing, was executed at Laun ceston, pursuant to his sentence. Monday a man and woman of respectable ap pearance, went into the hack parlour of the King s- Head public house, in Great Ormond -street, where after drinking a glass of brandy and water, (which they paid for at going out) they contrived to rob a chest of drawers in the room of several articles, and likewise took a time-piece from off the chimney-piece. The articles were missed shortly after their depar ture, when a pursuit took place, but they effected their escape. Monday night, tl:e most daring robberies were committed with impunity, in spite of a number of constable; present, by an organized band of thieves in Feckham-fields. The fields are situated at t;-.e back cf the Lord Nelson, in the Kent Road, and the:o is a thoroughfare across them to Peckham. It being the night of the fair, great numbers, about eight o'clock at night, were returning to town; there a a gate to pass through, and two hundred persons were at times collected on the Peckham side, waiting to pass through. The gang of thieves robbed the wo men of shawls, caps, and bonnets, and the men ot their watches and handkerchiefs, and those who at tempted the least resistance, were kicked and best in the most brutal manner. A constable was very much injured in attemping to take one of the thieves into custody. All the Orchards on the Clyde, generally sold by public auction, have been disposed of, and the follow ing, with those formerly given, will finish the list: Uation Monet .008 Carlin on Rad- Br.tefoot £9O der £l7 Milton. £lr3 'Fortin £lO2 ...... £6O Rosebank...-£!.O Wityp.tesLaw... £l2O Woodside... £ll7 The Apples, Pears, and Plums, are bought up on a; averaE,se at Ss. per Winchester bushel.—Besides the Orchards above mentioned, a number were sold by private bargain, so that their amount cannot be a!- certained. Limontcx, Aug. 19.—Upwards of 800 bags of new Wheat appeared at market to,-day, and a reduc tion of 3d. per stone took place. Price of Flour from 28s. to 30s. per cwt. Oatmeal from 16s. to 17s.
