The works at the Castle have proceeded during the past *MII with the greatest activity. Considerable time Was at first ocestikfl in the erection of temporary shops and sheds which are indispens. able in an undertaking of this magnitude. These having been completed, the labours of the whole body of workmen, amounting to upwards of 400, are now directed to the clearing away the old materials and preparing the new foundations. In several of the apartments at the south-east angle, the men are now employed in making the requisite openings for fire-places aid windows, two essential requisites in which the old Castle was particularly defi cient. The new tower, of which his Idaassry laid the first stone, is rising rapidly, and the arch for the new grand entrance, which springs from this tower, is expected to be completed in a short space of time. A discovery was made a few mornings since, which, though not perhaps of equal importance with the subterranean sally-port, yet affords far greater food for conjecture. The labourers employed in lowering the foundation of one of the apartments on the south side, while removing the earth came to a large oblong flat stone. This was carefully removed, when a pit presented itself to the view, about two feet square and four deep. In this were several human bones, and the soles of two shoes; but from the Itngth of time that has elapsed since they were deposited, no cer tain idea as to whose remains they are cau be formed. It is not improbable that they may have been the victims of assassination, or persons slain in a chance conflict, and thus hastily buried to screen the perpetrators from discovery.

EDINEUROII.—Mrs. COUTTS has expressed the sense entertained by her of the attention she has experienced 4t the hands of the LORD Pnovosr of Edinburgh, by presenting his Lordship with .a handsome silver vase, beating the following inscription : " 30th August, 1824. " To the Right Hon. Alexander Henderson, Lord Provost of ' Edinburgh, from his friend Harriet Courts, in kind remembrance of her first visit to Edinburgh, the birth-place of Mr. Courts, son of John Collis, Fag. Lord Provost of Edinburgh, from October,l742, to October, 1744." Mrs. COUTTS, with that liberality which so eminently distinguishes her, has made the following donations to the charities of Edinburgh: Royal Infirmary - .C2O I Royal Dispensary Asylum for the Blind - 20 Senior Female Society - Deaf and Dumb Institution 20 Ladies' Clothing Society Destitute Sick - 20 .Gaelic Schools House of Industry - 10 Debtors in the Jail Edinburgh Lying-in Hospital 10 The Incorporation of Goldsmiths have unanimously voted twenty guineas in aid of the monument to the merniary of the deceased Mr. James Watt.

Friday, the foundation stone of the Ramshorn Church, atGlasgow i was laid with the usual ceremonies, by the 1 .1 Honourable. WILLIAM SMITH, the Lord Provost, in presence of the Public Authorities. An impressive prayer was offered up by the Reverend Dr. RANKIN. It is remarkable that the old Church, which had sunk entirely into decay, was only built in 1720. Amongst seven or eight resolutions agreed to at a Catholic Meeting in the county of Wexford, is the fol lowing specimen of Irish hyperbole : • 6th.

PRISONBREAKING.—A few days ago, an attempt was made to escape from Chester City Jail, by seven of the prisoners there awaiting their trial. They had perfo rated to a considerable depth inside the boundary wall. with the evident object of working their way through it. The vigilance of the keeper, however, defeated their plans, and Swami a notorious character, was actually detected at work in the hole, and placed in irons. An unpleasant occurrence (says a Limerick Paper) has taken place at Kilkee, in which two professional Gentlemen of this city were concerned. One of them, Mr. D—, proposed the health of Lord G—T,. which was accordingly drank, without observation, by the company ; when it came to the other Gentleman, Mr. O'B—, to give the individual of his choice, he men tioned Mr. O'C— NN—ra., which was refused by Mr. D—; this produced an altercation, in which' strong lan guage was used on both sides. Next morning Mr. sent his ft lend (a Mr. L.) with a hostile message tot his opponent, who candidly acknowledged, that not con sidering his antagonist a gentleman, he would not meet him. The consequence of this. language was, a horse whipping on one side, and a flogging with a stout oak stick on the other. Some of the parties have been since bound over to keep the peace. Wednesday, a Coroner's Inquest was held in Drury lane, Dublin, on the body of Hannah Byrne; who, being in a ; ltate of great intoxication about seven o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, was put to bed by a woman lodging in the next room, where she was found dead in the morning. The Jury brought in a verdict-4 , We find Hannah Byrne came* by her death from suffoca- . tion, caused by extreme intoxication.' Saturday evening the bed-chamber of Mr. Carr; the proprietor of the Union Tavern, Baker -street, Bagnigge Wells, was broken into, and from a chest of drawers two ES notes were taken, as also a gold watch. The robbery was committed whilst Mr. and . Mrs. Carr were below stairs attending to their customers. MARGATE HEALTH-HUNTING.--" Conic to Mar gate," says Mrs. Abrahams, " there you will get a colour and an appetite, bless you." Well, down they all go. First they -take a warm bath, then a cold bath—floundering about for an hour In the water—stay out sauntering about in the night air—poke themselves into crowded libraries and dancing-rooms —go to bed at break of day—and then come to town in a fever ! Thus it has been lately with several; and there are many persons who have had a narrow escape from death—all brought on by health-huntirig at Margate. Let people, if they go to watering-places for health, go to bed at ten o'clock—rise early—immerse themselves in the water daily, and instantly leave it—live moderate—and mix with the amuse ments only at proper hours, and they will return with improved health and spirits; but Margate now a-days, since steam cattle into fashion, is the place to become an invalid.

Durin g the last fortni g ht, the inhabitants of the New Forest, Hants ' have been amused with the royal sport of stag-hunting, and as this is a treat not always accessible to plebeians, it May be na turally expected that hunters of all sorts and descriptions attended. The hunters affording far more amusement than the hunted, more particularly so to those unacquainted with such royal diversions. Unfortunately fur those Gentlemen connected with the Forest Hunt, they have not this time had' one day of good old fashioned hunting. And now the merry huntsmen loose Lyme-dog and grey-bound from the noose; Crack sapling, gorse, and thorn ; • Then each man's hand was to his quiver, Then rang the woods as they would shiver, With hound and bugle horn. Loud waz'd the merry cry—" Avaunt!" While shrouded close in woody haunt, The gallants take their stand— And a gallant show there was too, all sorts of horses and all sorts of riders, and some no riders—blood bays to donkies. One unlucky wiglit riding his horse at full gallop, looked one way and rode ano ther, butt against an oak tree, and broke his nose. Such a misad ventyre it may naturally be expected, spoilt his sport; and after an hour • soliloquising, having lost himself in a wood, and after repeated unavailing attempts to find his way, he gave his faithful steed the rein, which more sagacious, soon gained the beaten track, and car ried home his wearied master satisfied with stag-hunting. Another must needs go a hunting, and in so doing amused his friends and brother Nimrod., by exhibiting his head pale and ghastly just peep ing above the surface of a hog. A third galloped away furiously, without bridle or saddle, When the hounds were after a hind; and presently, rider, horse, and hind, hunter and hunted fell, pell-mell, promiscuously together, heels sprawling in the air—very fortunately for this gallant, the hunted was not a stag, if so, his life would have been the forfeit of his temerity. A fine trait of skill and good ma nagement on the part of the huntsman occurred, which to omit would be improper. Whilst about sixteen couple of hounds were in full cry after a hind, a drove of fifty fine bucks crossed and min gled with them and passed, without one of the hounds leaving the trioe scent to follow the bucks. ASSILE ihltukriick LANCASTER, SEPTEMBER 4. Yantes dallagher and. Hugh 0' Seill ,were.put to the bar on an indictment charging them with hawing as saulted Mr. Thnmas Tinlay on the highway, and with having taken from his person a gold watch. a purse, two sovereigns, and various other articles, his property. The evidence being endei, Mr. JustiCe BAYLEY called on the prisoners for their defence. Gallagher first addressed the J ur y.—H e state d t h at he had just r e turned to this country, from a visit ssirich he had been paying to his friends in Ireland. On the Sunday after his arrival, as he was sitting on some rails in one of the streets in Liverpool, a man with a scratched ; face came up to him, and asked him whether he would have any objection to buy a bargain? On his saying that he would not, the man took him aside, shewed him a gold watch, and told him that he wanted to sell it, in order to get some money to pay for his passage over to Dublin. Observing that there was neither chain, nor I key, nor seal to the watch, he asked the stringer what had become of them ? The stranger replied, that, being , in want of money, he had sold them at Mancheter. After some time spent in haggling about the price of I the watch, the prisoner said that he purchased it for ten guineas. He had at that time plenty of money about him ; indied, when he was apprehended, the officers bad found fourteen sovereigns upon him. He told the officers Who apprehended him, that he had had the watch about eight weeks, because he was afraid that they would take it from him before he could find the man who had sold it trim.—O 'Neill asserted his innocence. Francis Carr, a master cooper, in Liverpool, who had known Gallagher for the last five years, gale him a good. character, and said that he was as regular in his conduct as the generality of young men.—The Jury found both prisoners Gbilty. Neither Gallagher nor O'Neill betrayed the slightest emotion upon hearing the verdict given against them by the Jury. They are both stout able-bodied men. Gallagher's appearance is very respectable, but that of O'Neill is not at all prepossessing. The prisoners were again put to the bar, charged with having assaulted John Banastre_ Falkner, on the 3d of June, on the highway, at West Derby, and robbed him of one watch, one gold chain, two gold seals, one purse, four sovereigns, and two shillings, his property. Owing to the illness of a Juror, the trial did not proceed. • iJeseph Kaye was charged with killing and slaying his infant child, Arthur Kaye.—lt appeared that the pri ,soner had some difference with his wife, and lifted his foot, as it with intent to kick her; she was sitting near the fire with the child in her arms, and in rising to avoid the blow she fell over a chair, in consequence of which fall the child came by its death. The Counsel for the prosecution not being able to carry the case any further, Mr. Justice BAYLEY directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner.—The unfortunate man appeared deeply affected, and trembled violently while at the bar; and when cautioned by Mr. Justice BAYLEY against giving way to fits of passion, he said, in an agitated tone, "In deed, my Lord, I shall never do the like again, and I trust that my misfortune may be a warning, not only to myself, but to all those who have heard of it." WELLS, SEPTEMBER 4. PENAYRE D. ADAMS. This was an action of trespass brought by the plain tiff, in consequence of the defendant having cut off the branches of several trees, which overhung the defend eel grounds, to the great detriment of the produce growin4 thereon, Mr. Serjeant PELL stated the plaintiff's case:—The patties were Gentlemen of opulence—neighbours--and hitherto friends, at Upper Easton, Bath. The plaintiff's grounds were ornamented upon that border which joined the defendant's fields with a beautiful row of elms, under whose arms •he had often reposed, as his ancestors had before him ; finding beneath their ample foliage, "health in the breeze, and shelter in the storm." He had fondly hoped, that for many a generation to come, their spreading honours would have afforded , shade to his posterity. How mortified must Mr. Penayre have been, to find on his return after ,a tem porary absence, that his beloved elms had become the victim of profane mutilation. 44 Gentlemen," continued the Learned Serjeant, 6 6 °culls subjeche fidelibus," hold ing up a paper on which there appeared the represen tation of two trees, and which were intended to convey an idea of one of those elms, as it appeared in its an cient state, and as it appeared after it had undergone Mr. Adams's mutilation—" Gentlemen, look on this picture,"—pointing to the old tree with its broad and luxuriant arms,—" and on this," shewing the other tree, most miserably curtailed of all its fair proportions— " the counter ptesentment of two elms. phis was an elm, and Mat is—what shall I say—its half-starved miserable brother—more conspicuously poor—more eminently lean—more pre-eminently infirm by the con trasted exuberance, health, and proportions of its more fortunate brother. Methinks I hear horn its exhausted trunk this address to its brother:—' Behold me with pity—a decayed and miserable victim—my strength gone—cut off in the season of robust and thriving youth, and prematurely sunk to decay—look on me and pity me—let all my brothers of the forest mourn over my untimely fate: " The facts of the case, the cutting off of the branches to the very trunk of about eighty trees, and the injury to the beauty and use fulness of the situation, were proved by several witnesses. The defence was, th at those branches extended a good way over a field of lucerne belonging to the defendant, and that the injury occasioned to the produce by the dripping from the boughs was very considerable. The defendant likewise put in a letter, which was sent from the plaintiff to him, which be considered to be a license, affording a full justification for what he had done. The letter, on being read, proved to have been a remonstrance with the defendant for having cut the trees, and it adverted to an occasion formerly, when the plaintiff permitted the defendant to lop off some of their branches, which appeared to have been detrimental, by their too great extent, to the field below them. The defendant interpreted the leave which, upon that former occasion he had ob tained, into a genet al permission to remove as many branches, and as much of them, as in his own judgment were prejudicial to the ptoduce of his land. The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 5001. a verdict that gave universal astonishment, particu larly as the Counsel disclaimed any other aim by this action than that of settling a right. CAtet. LOFT, son of the lawyer, whose death was re cently mentioned as having taken place at Rivoli, in Piedmont, has just been elected to King's College, from Eton School.

""" PALLOOANG ! • Yesterday wits the day ~ippciinted liy Mr. math * 1 op which he would mak e MS promised ascent fr.* di, Mermaid Gardens; Hackney, t* profits of which wgio to be appropriated to the suffering Greeks. The heavy rain, however, whi c h f e ll i n the morning, and which in dicated a continuance, preirented an early influx of com: pany ; but as the day became more favourable, the gar: dens were gradually filled. The inflation proceeded slowly, and. tnttett Irhpatience was manifested. The musicians we r e ve ry busy, and the people out of the gardens were very noisy. the inflation proceeded so slow, that It was at ten, iti generally thought no ascent would take place. At five a pilot balloon, which went off, took E rk.g. but k halt: pa'st seven it was announced, that in consequence of 'the deficiency in quantity and quality of the gas, balloon would not astend. A person then ascendktd to the front of the platform, and stated that the Impe rial Gas Conipany had shamefully ill used the Comtnittio —that on that very morning, they hid received forty gtiineasfor the supply of a proper quantity of gas, and that there had heel' not only a deficiency in citiantity but in quality. . . The balloon at this time was rolling . about at [torte: ft liberty, to ascend if it cou ld: It soon became more stationary, and rested itself upon the edge of the plAt , form, the valve being then at the bottom. The pUblic at this period, at least that part of thorn within the gar= dens, were excessively indignaht at the barefaced hoax which had been imposed upon them. Their spleen was printipally directed (in words) against Mr. Sniithes and we were informed, that some of his friends felt it prudent to place him under the protection of the police. With respect to the charges made against the Gas Company, it may be proper to observe, that po fault could be found with the flavour. of the vs. The bore of the pipe was 4i inches, being the usual width uptia such occasions ; and the time for supply was .to ter minate at five o'clock, whereas it continued until a quarter past seven o'clock. Oil the contrary, let us not forget that the balloon was unsound—that it was torn—that a tailor was re' pairing it on the platform—that its weight was 21 cwt, just two hundred weight more than that of Mr. Green's —that Mr. Smithes was not perhaps sufficiently ac quainted with whathe had to do; and from more cause than one, was utterly incompetent for the task. The balloon was the same that Mr. Graham suc ceeded in ascending with once, and failed twice, com monly called the "lawn balloon." The car was on a par with the balloon, for a more shabby concern we never saw. It was an old wicker-work basket ,(or car ifyou will), covered outside, and lined within with fade.l velvet, that might once have been a p ur pl e colour, and a little bit-of orange fringe round the top. A number of persons got upon the roof of the tap of the Mermaid Tavern In order to witness the ascent, when, from the pressure, the greater part fell in. The shrieks were dreadful, but fortunately no one was se riously hurt. Much damage was done to the trees, and several tomb-stones were broken in the old Church yard by the assembled multitude.
