PATON, and CANADOILI, were warmly applauded in their respective arings--" The death of Weber." " I've been roaming,' and" Batti Batti." At the Cathedral, this morning, the Messiah Was performed. and gave universal satisfaction. BRAHAM gait the venous " Comfort ye, my people, " with great force ; and Miss Paris was particularly happy in the pastoral scene " There were Shepherds." This Lady's singing is particularly adapted to Church nimic ; and we know no finer specimen of intellect, taste, and exe cution, than she evinced in " Rejoice greatly." Madame CARA• nom was in good voice, and sung " He was cut off," and " I know that my Redeemer liveth," in a most pleasing manner. TZRRAIL, B. TAYLOR, and Mum Gam, exerted themselves; and the instru mental band was peculiarly effective. _ _ Yesterday a - Meeting of the Magistrates of the East Half Hundred of Brixton was held, by appointment, at the Sessions' House, Horeenionger-lane, to consider the application of Mr. FORD, _to obtain a license, under the Hotel Licensing Act, for the Rotunda Wine-room in Great Surrey street. Mr. FORD produced his waiter, &c. who were under examinatzol about three hours ; after which the Magistrates, without troubling those who came prepared eta oppose the grant, decided that he bad not made out a case to entitle him to the license. The Magistrates had given notice that they would not permit either Solicitor or Counsel to attend on either side, and abided by their determination. Wedivaday evening, aLady on her way from Hackney to the City, bad her pocket cut, and the whole of its contents, in-, eluding about two pounds in money. extracted from it. She sat in the back seat or dickey, and had no idea of her loss until some time after her arrival in town. So ingenious was the thief that he did not cut either the Lady's gown or petticoat in the operation.— This rubbery was no doubt committed by one of those persons who are to be seen so often hanging on to the back part of these coaches, stealing, as it is termed, a ride. Yesterday evening about six o'clock, two boys, about ]4 years of age, one named Tamara, singing boy of his Manure's Chapel Royal, were bathing in the Thames, opposite to Milbank Peottentiary, when they unfortunately got out of their depth, and nut bring aide to swim they sunk ; a fisherman who happened to be with bii bbat near the spot, and seeing the accident, threw in his net, and fortunately drew up one of the lads; be again threw his net, and extraordinary to relate, brought up the other; having Towed diem abbore, they were conveyed in a state of insensibility to Westminster Hospital, when the usual means of resuscitation was resorted to. which was attended with success. It is impossible to describe the feelings of the parents of the lads, who having heard fifths; accident, were at the Hospital during the time the efforts were n,ade to restore thesis. The Goveroment Contract for one hundred thousand gallons of West India Rum was taken on Thursday. A great number of tenders were sent in, and much competition appears to have related. The contract was awarded to the firm of Blew.. Wuxi and Son, spirit dealers, they having offered the most ad voutegeous price, viz. 2s. I id. per gallon, the rum of the usual required strength. Several large firms, we understand, lost the enntract by no more than one farthing per gallon. Half of the Contract (30,000 gallons) is to be delivered into his Majesty's stores, at Deptford, before the 15th of September, and the re attainder on the ZOth of the same month. The contract for rum was higher time the prices given at the last contract nude by the Victualling . Board. Government also took contracts for 50,000 tuna of Muscovado Sugars at a shade below the market price. Yesterday Atte hoots, a, a wood waggon, heavily laden with five large mahogany logs, was coming up front Shad. well, along Wapping-wail, et turning round a corner where the street I. very narrow, the off-bind wheel came so violently in con uet with one of the p..sts fixed in the street, that the binding tying she timber upon the carriage broke, when four of the logs fell with a trennaidous crash into the street, to the imminent danger of the foot pawansgere. A woman with an infant in her arms, the wile saf an indastrious tradesman, named Harvey, residing in Shadwell, • Who was walking abreast of tie waggon when die load broke down, was killed on the di or, but the child miraculously escaped without any hurt. A labouring man, who was employed on the obsess is the neighbourhood, had his thighs and legs dreadfully n•asbed, and his body severely injured. and is not expected to weave. Two other working men were much bruised by one 01 be log. awning soma them when falling off the waggon. DOVER, AUGUST 22.

These packets were before held in high estima tion, and have now so completely established their supe riority, that the public patronage of them encreases daily. THt ARMY. Lieutenant t. S.

AUG. 19.—Ftiday having been the day ap pointed for the Kism's reception of Lord STUART De ROTKSAT, upon his appointment to the post of Ambassador at the Court of France, two of his Majesty 's carriages, drawn by eight horses. were sent at half-past ten o'clock to the hotel of the Embassy, for his Excellency and suite. Upon reaching the palace of the Tuile ries, his Lordship was introduced to the Kinn with the usual cere mony, and had the honour to deliver his credentials. The ceremony of presentation being concluded, his Excell-ncy conversed for a short time with his Ilaazszy, and was afterwards reconducted to his hotel in the same manner as upon his arrival at the Tuileries. Ye,teiday an Inquest was held at Bartholomew's Hospital. on the holy of Elize Sermirot, the unfortunate young French Lady, who met her death in the manner related in yester day's STAR. The witnesses who were examined, were two persons who saw the accident, and a surgeon who attended the deceased until her death, and whose account corroborated the statement which has appeared before the public. The Jury were desirous of having the evidence of the guard and coachman, and the inquiry was, therefore, adjourned. A et er f o.hi Lisbon of the Bth instant, informs us th t Dr. WstsT, alt English physician, established in that capital, and in pretty extensive practice among Portu guese families of condition, had been stabbed in the street by some assassins, and though not killed, was in considerable danger fiom the wounds which he had received. Monday, much consternation was excited amongst some men leaping at Barningham, near Ixworth, by the sudden appearance and descent of a b4lluon, which came to that village in rather more than two hours from Stamford. The husbandmen were so frightened that they betook theinselves to flight, fearful of some super natural being coming upon them. HOLYHEAD, Aua 2l.—An inquest was this day held on the body of a man found drowned on the shore at the back of the Head. He was about five fett six inches in stature, dark complexion, middle aged, and from the dress appeared to have been a passenger or a ship mas ter. The coat was of good blue cloth, yellow buttons (marked with the mattes name, 4 , Lnttlake, 66, St. Jame,;-street"), blue twines:, also of gold clotti, and light waistcoat striped with red.

FISIINIONGERT COMPANY. Wednesday ,a Meeting of cit;zens, /mho are liverymen of the Fishmongers' Company, was held at the George An Vulture Tavern, Corolla!, pursuant to• a general circul ,r letter, for .the purpose of considering the rzpe dienc. of investigating the rights of the commonalty t a share of the government f that wealthy corporation. Mr. LAING, who was called to the chair, stated the nhj •ct of the Nlieting, and Mr. Millen, the solicitor stated, that by a charter of James 1. 1604, the govern meat of the Coorpany was vested in six wardens, who held their office for life, and in a Court of Assistant-. . ho stray he of any number not exceeding '2B. A number of the livery descanted on various malversations which they conceived were committed by the select to th,- vrejodice of the general body. It- was stated that the sons, relations, and Iriends of the wardens, or of the Court of Assistants. were constantly put into office, ano that tie revenues of the company were undeisto , id to l‘e upwards of 40,(x01. per annum. The warders have a their , •wa exclusive disposal chu.ch livings and p.tro nage to an immense amount, including six presentation• cf children to Christ's Hospital, two fellowships Cambridge, and above 90 alms-houses for their depend an s. Among the select body were Mr. S urch, of West mioster, Mr. W. Smith, M.P. Mr. Ald. Wood,"and M To.. gold, .and others who were pledged to principle of reform, and therefore bound to aid the commonalty. Mr. BOWRING said, that he should at all times bi ready to take part in any proceedings which had fro their object the investigation and promotion of populist rights. He suggested, that as other bodies in the cit) vim in similar conditions, the commonat of this com pany should, if it were found practicable, act in combi nation with them for some general measure. He ad vised also that the matter submitted to this meeting. together with any thing additional which might be ob tained, should he submitted to another meeting, con vened by advertisements in the papers instead of el culat s. After some discussion, in which Mr. Hail, Mr. Gres ham, Mr. Hoppe, Mr. Thompson, and other Gentlemen ge,rion c w e r e ado pt ed. joined, Mr. Baaring's sue ANECDO FE From Cradock's Literary and Miscellaneous Memoirs. One summer, whilst in power, Lord Sandwich re sided in Lord Cheste , field's house at Blackheath (the h. u e wards occupied by the Princess of Wales). And another summer at Lord Halifax's, on Hampton green. This was very very convenient, as his Majesty then frequently slept at Kew. I still add some little account of a very pleasant day that I passed at Ham!). ton. Sir Edward Hughes arrived, and brought one of the finest turtles ever seen from the island of Ascension, and his own cook was ready to dress it, in the plain manner in which it is generally served abroad. The weather was excessively hot, and Lord Sandwich was under the necessity of soon leaving, so that a fit party was not readily collected ; however, invitations were sent to many in the neighbourhood. Lord Sandwich said to me, ' 6 You are intimate with Mr. Garrick—l have never met him above once in company ; could you without impropriety inform him of particulars, apolo gizing to him fit the short notice, for it must be dressed to-morrow, as Sir Edward Hughes is in haste." I wrote immediately to Mr. Garrick all the circumstances, and dispatched my servant early in the morning. Garrick was in his scratch wig, his old hat, and loose great coat, examining the wheels of his own coach. My servant conceiving that he addressed the coachman, asked when Mr. Garrick could be spoken to. Now." says he ; a give me the note;" and opening it, ordered him to stop and he would answer it. On the servant's return, he told me he was quite miserable about the mistake he had made, and added, " Sir, Mr. Garrick comes to dinner, and I hope you will excuse my attending in the parlour, for I could not wait if my life was at stake.'— " Oh," said I, it cannot be helped now. and I will apologise for you to Mr. Garrick." As soon as I saw Garrick. I told him bow miserable the man was. Oh," replied Garrick, with great good humour, tell him that my coachman is a much better looking fellow than I am, and by the mistake he his paid me a compliment." CHELMSFORD, AUGUST 2`1.-ANOTHER BANKERS' PARCEL 5T01.614.-0.1 the 14th inst. a parcel, directed to Esdaile and Co. London, containing silver to the amourt of 2001. from the bank of Sir E. K. Lacon, Bt. Youell and Co. at Yarmouth, was placed in charge of Watts, the guard of the Yarmouth Telegraph Coach, who deposited it safely in the box in which he kept the bankers' parcels. During the journey to London, Watts repeatedly looked to his valuable parcel, and conceived all was right, until he reached London, when, on re moving the parcel, he discovered that it was different to the one given him in charge. On the parcel being opened at the bank, it was found to contain only gravel. The robbery was no doubt effected by two passengers, one of whom got down at Colchester, under the pre tence of being ill, there to remain for the night, and ' proceed the following morning, and who, no doubt, se creted the parcel in a canvas bag which he carried with him. The parties must have picked the lock of the guard's box, and, having seen the par cel on being placed in its situation, substituted one f r the other. In the village of Thornhill, about nine miles from Stirling, these resides a very eccentric sort of charac er, well known by the nam- of " Daft Watty." He is appa rently about 50 yeats of age. In early life he went out' to the West Indies, in tne capacity of a clerk ; hot had not been long them, Mhen he eeturned to his native place in a state of insanity. Since he came home (up wards of 20 years ago) hr has been daily es.gaged in carrying parcels from Thornhill. and other places in that quarter, to the Budge of Teath, atanston, and Doune, from which place he returns on the same day, with whatever he gets to carry back again. On the Fridays he goes to Stirling with patc4s, and returns in the evening. His honesty is pi overbial ; and no indi vidual is more respected in his calling than " Daft Watty." He makes the same charge for all kinds cat parcels; however bulky, or however small they may be, be charges one penny. He runs accounts with no indi• vidual ; and it a penny be not at hand when he makes his appearance with a parcel or letter, it is very likely Watty will take them with him till one be firth. coming ; fir although he may be able to give copper for a sixpence, he will not do so till he has got thirty pennies, when he will exchange them for a half-cro awn. His meat costs him nothing ; he is furnished with his breakfast, dinner, &c. by the farmers in the neighbour hood, who generally make Watty a welcome visitor. In this way he is enabled yearly t a amass a considerable sum ; whew, .it. is said, a'brother• pays him . a visit, to whom he regularly delivers up his earnings. It i► stated that this friend last year girt 201. and the receding one 1.61. Wetly is estreavelr. averse to shaving, and . his beard is generally about hill an inch long . before be will allow that .operation to be performed; but brfrq it be commenced, lie must be fug tubbed with a penny It is computed that this singular character has walked. since his return from the West Indies, about 110,000 miles; and it is allowed on all hands, that thet s e is not a more useful Character than Dalt Watt:" in the whole circuit o;rf his peregrinations.

Friday evening, at the time the severe gale which wa, telt along our coast commenced, two lads, brothers, named Prout, sons of a labouring man at S:. Agnes, were fishing with finis in a small boatoust far from the shore; having but one oar, the fury of the gale soon deprived them of all power of managing their frail balk, which was driven out to sea. The poor fellows quietly resigned themselves to their fate, and lay down the boat, whilst the storm raged and the rain fell in torrents. Early the next morning, when off Padstow, the boat was observed driving before the sea, by a vessel bound for Swansea, the master and crew of which, by great exertions, got the la is on board. and. on their arrival at Swansea, wrote to inform their parents, who had given them up for lost,ol their safety.-Cornicht'apen \ \
