tIAYERStrY OF GLASGOW • Monday carne on the Election of Lord Rector for she ensuing year, when two of the Nations, and Glot tiatta and Londoniana, voted for Mr. BROUGHAM, and t he other teno r the Rothseyana and Transforthana, for S i r WALTER SCOTT. It being provided by the Col lege Statutes, that, in the evept of an equality in 'the Nations, the casting vote should rest with the preceding R ec tor, it fall's to Sir JAmits MACKINTOSH to decide which of these distinguished characters is to be the next Lord Rector. There was never an Election carried on w ith less hustle than the present. There were a few votes for Mr. MiKanzis (the Man of Feeling), and it is pro bable there would have been many more, had it not. been notified that the very advanced age of that excel lent Gentleman would make it extremely inconvenient for him to attend in person, and undergo the ceremony of Installation. We understand there is a doubt whether Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH can settle the disputed point by letter, or whether it may not be necessary for him to announce his decision, es cathedra, in the Faculty Hall. Should the latter be the case, And Sir JAMES not‘find it conve nient to come down, the casting vote will then fall to gic F. JETIRET, WhO preceded Sir JAMES in that office. LORD BYRON AND MR. MURRAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sta—lri the absence of Mr. Medwin, who is on the Continent,l and who will doubtless eventually substantiate, - by original letters or other documents in his possession, the general authenticity of his work, I beg leave to observe, the extracts of letters published by ?dr. Murray, In answer to certain statements affecting that Gentle man, contrary to the brat impression produced by them, tend, on a matdre consideration, to corroborate the truth and authenticity of the Cantersations, except in the single instance of the deed; and even on this point the letteis are not very conclusive. Captain Medwin says, p. 170, Mr. Murray answers this, by 4 , When he ( hie. Murray) pur - re ferrin g to the deed for iheTwo chased Anus, the Two Toscari, Fescati, Cain, &e. In Which 'mei and Satzionaafus, he sent me a such clause is to be found, and deed, which you may remember which is signed in London by witnessing. Well, after its return Mr. Kinnaird, and witnessed by to England, it was discovered Mr. Williams. Now, it is to be that it contained a clause which observed, that it dots not appear I had been introduced without my very conclusive that this is the' tnowledge—a clause by which I identical deed referred to by Mr. town(' myself to offer Mr. Iler- Medwin; it might have been a ray all my future compositions, deed relative to some former but I shall take nO notice of it." purchase, which the party had taken this opportunity of send ing for Lord R's signature, far it is well known, that although that respecting the Two Foseari was not signed in London, yet others were sent to Italy to be executed by Lord Byron him self. If Captain Medwin had desired to practise any deception (which is quite improbable), is it at all likely he would have committed himself in so unguard ed a manner? Certainly not. And I have no doubt, if Mr. Murray had chosen to refer to the other deeds, he would have found one witnessed by Mr. Nedwin, and containing a clause of the nature alluded to. An ether statement attempted to be refuted by Mr. Murray, is at plc 167 : Capt. Medwin says : Mr. Murray, in answer, quotes " Murray offered me 1,0001. a a letter, in which Lord Byron Canto for bon Juan, and after- says, 4‘ l have copied and cut the wards reduced it to ;Oa on the Third Canto of Don Juan into Ora of piracy, and complained two, because it was too long," of my dividing one Canto into and adds, " that these rem are to two, because I happened to say go for one." soaniting ox the end of the Third Here we see the mention ae- Calico of hating gm so.' tually made of dividing the Third Canto into two, as alluded to in the " C,mversatirnts," and on re [erring to the price given by Mr. • Murray, it does appear that he • : • only gave 500. guineas for the Fifth Canto.

Joan Henson atm Cameos.--A meeting of the friends of these men took place yesterday,. at Toni Belcher's, for the purpose of agreeing upon the spot on which their important combat is to take place. There were various applications for the honour as well as the profits of the choice, and it was ultimately determined that the stage should be erected at , a place rather more than ninety miles from London, where, independent of the encouragement to which the men are f airly entitled, a perfect security from magisterial in terruption is promised. Private intimation of the arrangement was instantly dispatched to the men, and they will forthwith proceed by easy stages towards the scene of action. Josk is accompanied by Tom Clarke, his trainer, who is indefatigable in keeping him ' 1 up to the mar k." A FATAL TURN.UT its VAS DISMISS'S LAND.-0E the 25th May . last, JAMES Musa and Noon Galax. the former a compositor, and the latter a printer to the Hobart Tows Ga.rtte, quatrellect while labouring uncles intoxication, and they retired to a dark pea -1 sage to settle their differences, when Mitt's received a blow on the temple, or under the ear, which produced apoplexy, and he died. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the.body, before W. H. liusirtrace i Esq. the Coroner, and a verdict of Mandavgater was returned against Hecn GRIM. The most absurd' repoi is about Promos arestill cur. rent, and the belief in his existence is said to have pre• •ailed even in Mexico, so that the Government had been compelled to republish the account of his death, under the curious title of " Circumstantial Account of the Death of ITURISIDE, for those who do not believe it." An Inquest was held at the London Spa, Exmouth street, Clerkenwell, on the body of Mr. Daniel, late a silversmith, in Middleton-street, who, on Sunday night, went to bed in perfect health, and was found the next morning a lifeless corpse. Verdict—Natural Death. Two men and three horses, belonging to Mr. SISIPSON, of Nottingham, were drowned on Sunday morning, the 7th inst. at a tarn of the river near Stoke, when in the act of hawling craft from Newark to Nottingham. ,Sunday morning, the shop of Mr. Abrahams, in Hinb-street, Sheerness, silversmith, was broken open, and property to the amount'of 3001. stolen. Among the articles taken were upwards of 70 watches, a large quantity of jewellery, silver spoons, and other plate.— Sunday afternoon, Patterson, the Officer of Chatham, took two men into custody at a public-house in Chat ham, w ith the greater part of the stolen property in their possession.— Saturday night the house of C. J. Holland, Esq. of Cornwall-terrace, was broke open, and a large• quantity of plate, &c. stolen.—The house of J. Stull, Esq. of Middlesex-place, New-road,was on Sunday night broken into, and a quantity of plate, two coats, and other things, carried off. ANEcnoTir..—During the war (1796) a sailor went to Mr. Al4Laren, a watchmaker, who then'tesided in King. street, Jamaica, and presenting a small French watch to him, demanded to. know how much the repairs of it' would come to? Mr. M'Laren reviewing it, said it would cost him more in repairs than the original pur chase. .4 I don't mind that,' said the tar; 1 will even give double the original cost, for I have a veneration tor the watch r What might you have given for it r said the watchmaker. 4.

CHAMBERS and Sox, to wind up, the affairs of the concern; The Judges of the Special Jail Delivery for the Home Counties. have given notice, that in consequence of the importance and length of the cases to be tried, they shall go privately to Hertford on Wednesday, the Ist of December ; and at ten o'clock precisely, on the nest morning, open their Commission, and charge the Grand Jury ; then attend Divine Service, and proceed with the trials of the prisoners immediately after their return from Church. The audiente of the Surrey Theatre was thrown into considerable confusion on Tuesday night by a trifling incident. A car filled with convicts, going from New gate, On arriving at the Turnpike gave three cheers, vehih attracted the notice of the gods, who ran simul taneously to the windows to discover the cause, which excited the notice of the visitors in the boxes and the pit, when some one exclaimed, 41 ajght," which word, impeifectly heard, was by many mistaken for fire. The performers rushed on the stage, and a general alarm prevailed, but, after a short time, Mr. Honor, who was at the-moment chained to a rock, burst his fetters, came to the front of the Stage, and assured the audience that all was right, when order *as' resumed. A similar mistake of fight for fire, caused, a re* years since, the loss of several lives, at Sadler's Wells.—lt would be well to have placards prepared, with the word in large characters, to exhibit do such occasions, which- might be seen when a verbal explanation could not be heard. EXPLoSION ix GAS.—About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the neighbourhood of Fetter-lane was greatly alarmed by an explosion of a tremendous nature taking place in the house of Mr. BARRET, grocer, 44, Fetter lane. Mr. BAnaar was having some alterations and repairs done to the interior of the house, and some car penters who were at work had occasion to go down into a close cellar under the shop, through which the sas pipe runs; and it would appear that from its not being quite tight, the instant the men entered the cellar, the gas ignited and exploded, with a noise beyond descriir tion, - blowing up the floor of the shop, and driving the front thereof into the street. One of the workmen was sevelely__hnr4and the damage. done to Mr. BARRET'S halle and property is very considerable, in addition to the loss he will sustain in his business. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the judgment of the Court upon the above defendant. It was an infor mation for having riotously assembled with others, and with seizing two men, whom they tarred, feathered, put into a cart, and paraded about the town of Maid stone, to the imminent danger of their lives; the case was tried before Mr. Baron Graham. The affidavit of the defendant stated, he was a poor man, having a wife and seven children, also that he had already suffered six months' confinement. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in passing judgment, said, the conduct of the defendant was highly improper—it was' not to be tolerated in a civilised country. The sentence of the Court was, that' he should be further imprisoned for nine calendar months, in Maidstone House of Cor rection, and enter into sureties, for five years, himself in 201. and two of 101. each. THE KING P. CHRISTOPHERSON. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed judgment against this defendant, Captain of the Trafalgar, for leaving four seamen in distress, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The affidavits, however, not being ready, the judgment was deferred for a few days. THE KING V. WIy,IAM WELLS AND WILLIAM MAT. These defendants wee convicted, at the last Assizes, of assaulting some of the Officers of the Revenue Pre ventive Service, on thicoast, near Deal, in endeavouring to rescue some smuggled goods. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Court in mitigation, and reminded the Court that there were circumstances of mitigation in the defendants case. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL spoke in aggravation, and, after a short conference, Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the judgment, which was, that they be imprisoned for one year in the House of Correction at Maidstone, and find the same sureties as in the case of Forster. THE KING V. LARKINS. This was a similar case to the last. He was sentenced to. three months imprisonment, and find sureties for five years, himself in £4O, and two in £2O each . . PREROGATIVE COURT, NOVEM.EER 17. THE WILL OP THS LATE ABRAHAM MONTIFIORS, ESQ. Our readers will possibly recollect, that the above eminent money-broker died at Lyons- on the 20th of August-last. Vs'hen he found his death approaching, he called for a person named William Woodley, who bad attended him in his illness, and, from the deceased's dictation, Woodley wrote his Will in French. He therein bequeathed to his son Joseph the Worth-park Farm, in Sussex; to his son Nathan, the Brighton Farm ; and all his other property, of every kind, he be? queathed to his dear wife Henrietta. This will the de ceased desired might be translated into English ; and after it was read over, he called for a pen, and was about signing the paper, when he was seized with a spasm, and prevented from doing so; he attempted to , write his name a second and a third time, but vieakness still prevented him, and the next morning he exiired. Doctors JENNEa and Pnittimosa, who were retained for Mrs. Montefiore, now applied that theaestamentary paper before alluded to might be propounded as the last will and testament of the deceased. He took great pleasure in informing the Court, that the suit which she bad instituted against the co-executors was perfectly amicable, and the Court's sanction was only required to render the will valid. The importance of the suit being brought to a conclusion, required, on his part, no comment; it would be sufficient to state, that the im mense property depending amounted to nearly half a million sterling. He was of opinion that, from the evidence of Woodley, the intention of the deceased was fully and perfectly expressed, and that, without the signature being attached to the document, the dictation of the party would be considered sufficient,' and thht Mrs. M. would be allowed the probate of the will. Dr. LUSHINGTON appeared to oppose the application, on the ground that two other wills were in existence, wherein the deceased made a further distribution of his property in favour of his children, and toot from his wife the right, of holding possession of the residue of the property, after satisfying the legacies to his sons Joseph and Nathan. In the first place, on the 3d May, 1820, the deceased executed one of those testaments, by which he bequeathed to each of his four children, by the pre sent wife, 2,5001. and with directions for its investment in the funds. • His daughter Marina had 14,0001. vested in her name in the • Three per Cent. Consols, but he bequeathed to her a further sum of 15,0001. and left the remainder of his property to his wife. In the second paper, which was generally supposed to have been exe cuted last year, he appointed his Wife executrix, and N. M. Rothschild, Esq. and Mr. Montefiore, executors; he recommended his wife not to enter again into the matrimonial state, and directed ten thousand pounds to be given to each of his children, and left the house at Stamford Hill, a life interest in the Worth-park farm, and 60001. a-year to his wife, until his two sons should attain the age of 18, and his two daughters the age of 17, when the wife should receive 40001. per annum, with a further liberty for her to will away 100,0001. at her decease. This paper also contained divers bequests to charities, and small legacies to relations, but the re sidue of the property, amounting to a very great sum, was not disposed of. Now he (Dr. Lushington) con tended, that the admission of the paper made in Lyons as a will, was completely at variance with the intention .Of the testator, as expressed in the two former wills, from which it was evident that ample provision had 'been made for Mrs. Montefiore, without her taking pos session of that immense residue of property. Dr. PMILLISIOIIt, in his reply to this argument, ob served; that a considerable sum had been vested in the funds for the children's benefit, and that Mr. Montefiore, 'in bequeathing to his wife the residue of the property, was fully convinced that the children would from that Lady receive every protection, and in whom he had the highest confidence. Sir Joins NtcHott. remarked, that the case was one wherein property to a great extent was concerned, and, although he had no doubt in his own mind of the deci sion he should pronounce, be would defer his judgment. till the next Court day. IN THE GO3DS OF FALLING, ESQ. DECEASED. Upon most full and satisfactory affidavits from Sir Gorge Tuthill, M.D. and Dr. Powell, M.D. as to the state of the party's mind, the opposing party (his aunt) withdrew all opposition to Mr. Palling 's claim to the grant of letters of administration to the estate of his late father, which the Court decreed to him accordingly. The popular Author , of ,‘ HIGHWAYS and BIWAYS," we observe, is about to publish s 8:concl Series of those inteest in Tales. - • About one &cloak this morning an alarming fire broke out in Dowgate-dock, in a large warehouse filled with stationery, belonging to Messrs. kolinson and Co. wholesale stationer s , and, fr o m the n a ture of the ma.; terials and g-strong southerly wind, it burnt with inure dible fury, and from the large flakes of fire which issued from the windows and top of the warehouse, it soon communicated to a large warehouse filled with Ito man cement, belonging to Mr. Howard ; but through the great exertion of the firemen, Mr. Howard's ware house escaped with Comparatively little damage: The devouring element then communicated to a large sugar warehouse in Cousin-lane, belonging to Messrs. Travers and Co. the %Vest India merchahts, of Mincing-lane, and from the cranes and loop-holes being of wood, the whole front was soon in a blaze ; but the great activity of the firemen and others, who got into the premises at the risk of their lives, preserved most of the valuable property therein. Same low buildings near Messrs. Travers warehouse, were, however, destroyed ; and the premises of Messrs. Rolinson are reduced to a heap of ruins. It is right to add, that, as on other occasions lately, there was no water to be had for some time. The fire-engines were on the spot before any water could be obtained, and the surply was scanty throughout. Mr. Cope, the City-Marshal, and a strong body of constables, were promptly on the ground, and assisted the exertions of the firemen in keeping off the crowd and preserving order. FIRE IN LEADENHALL-STREET. Scarcely had the flames at the fire at Donate began to subside, when the appearance of the atmosphere de noted another and near fire, of a more extensive description. Several engines, whose use was not immediately required, were dispatched to the spot, which proved to be the house of Mr. Hockley, who keeps a coffee-shop, at No. 67, on the south side of Leadenhall-street, near Aldgate, which being com posed of timber, lath, and plaster, communicated to two other houses of the like combustible materials, occupied by Mr. Foster, a stationer, No. 68 ; and Mr. Louis, No. 66, An eating-house. All the three houses were completely consumed, and two others so injured, that it is supposed they cannot remain standing during the day. The progress of the flames was stopped os reaching a bduse with a brick party wall. Great da- 1 1 mage was done to premises at the back, adjoining Fed. church-street; but fortunately no lives were lost, nor was any one missing, though the utmost consternation prevailed; Fortunately, there was a good supply of Water. It was with 'great difficulty Mr. Foster, his' wife, and family, escaped with their lives. Mr. Foster' is insured*, but not sufficiently to cover his loss. FIRE IN ST. ANN'S WATCH -HOUSE, BLACKFRIA RS. About two o'clock yesterday morning, this watch house was discovered to be in flames, by some of the aremen of the Royal Exchange, who were on duty in the vicinity, guarding the ruins of the . premises of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co. Raspberry, one of the fire. men, procured the keys, and rushing in, found the fire to proceed from a quantity of furniture and goods which were deposited there on the previous night for safety. With 'considerable exertion and difficulty, after deluging the place with water, the flames were com pletely subdued, having destroyed the fork-up rooms, and some trifling article; of furniture. , . A Correspondent suggests, as a 'remedy for the ab- sence of turncocks at fires, that all the water-plugs should be formed on one principle, and every engine furnished with a key or-implement, which upon arrival at the scene of necessity, might be employed to pro cure water. Of the whole of the suggestiorts relative to fires, this appears to us to be the simplet'ind the best. it would also be well that the position of - the fire-plug Should be distinctly painted on the wall much lower than it generally is, so that by the aid of a lantern it may be read. On the 16th October, the first column of a corps of 5,000 Austrian troops, returning, from Naples to the Hereditary Dominions, arrived at Rome. Tuesday last a fisherman named Moore, residing at Ferring, in Sussex, accidentally broke a bottle of spirits which he had in his coat pocket, he then placed himself before the fire to dry his clothes, when going too near, his coat accidentally caught fire, and before the flames could be extinguished he was so dreadfully burnt that he died soon afterwards. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.--Abollt two months ago a poor woman of the name of Kelby, living in Canter bury-walk, Lambeth, went out for a short time, leaving her two children at home (boys, one five and the other three years old); on her return, she found the door locked as sh'e had left it, but the children were gone. and the window, which she had left shut, was partly open, but not sufficiently wide for them to have got out at it ; which circumstance leads her to suppose that some person must have entered by the window, and taken away the children, and in their haste only par tially closed it after them ; the distress of the mother was naturally very great, particularly as, after the most anxious inquiries, and having bills posted offering a re ward for their discovery, she has not obtained the slightest information concerning them. ANOTHSR DEATH BY FlGHTlNG.—Wednesday the 10th inst. two lads, the one 17, and the other 18 years of age, apprentices to a wheelwright at Farnham, in the county of Surrey, agreed to settle a trifling dispute by a pugilistic rencounter. They accordingly proceeded to Farnham Park; and after fighting upwards tAf an hour, one of them received a severe blow about the temple, which knocked him down. He lay on the ground for some minutes, and was taken up in a state of insensi bility, and brought to the Seven Stars public-house, where in the course of the same evening he expired. An Inquest was held upon the body ; and after the exa mination of several witnesses, returned a verdict of Man slaughter against the survivor, who was immediately committed on the Coroner's warrant to Horsemon ger-lane Gaol to take his trial. The seconds were Allowed to escape merely because they did not attend officially, but were casual spectators that assisted them up when down.—The deceased had often been heard to say, that if ever he fought be would sooner be killed than give up to any one. When CHARLES X. was returning from his visit to the Hotel Dieu, in passing through the Place du Marche Neuf, an aged and distressed female, the widow of two Ckevaliers de St. Louis, was thrown down by the pres sure of the multitude, nearly under his Mann - es car riage. The Kttio, hearing her cries, instantly ordered it to be stopped, and having ascertained that she had only received some slight bruises, granted her on the spot a pension of 400 francs. 0: I 1 war Ora of I two sou Cow / 4 1 ILI Ii 111 Pt at C t r • e I,' it.
