(who Las declared himself a candidate to represent this Bo- rough in Parliament, on independent principles) was aleted into this tow is by the ringing of bells, preceded by a band of music, flags, &c. a cavalcade of his friends, and followed by a numerous patty of freemen. After partly parading the town, this Gentleman ad. tressed the Electors Item the Black Boy Inn, in a ;leech ot wlr'ch the following it: an outline : " Gestteues—l am now at Sudbury, and it will take some troLble to drive tee from hence. lam nut attached to any party, nor will I be.

LONDON MARITIME INSTITUTION.—Yesterday the subscribers and friends to this Institution held their annual meeting, at the Marine Society's Rooms, over the Royal Exchange, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee for the past year, and the election of officers for the year ensuing. The attend ance of Members was rather more thin than usual, but this circumstance was amply compensated fur by the very cheering prospect of the Society's affairs, displayed in the report. After passing some routine resolutions, and electing a Treasurer, Secretary, and Committee of Nlanagement, the Meeting separated. In the evening they again assembled with increased number, at the London Tavern, where the annual dinner was held, and a truly grateful feast it proved. Several appro- Trinte speeches were delivered, and, between sentiment and song, the company were lail under embargo until an advanced hour of the morning. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT AT PORTPATRICK......We :,are been informed by the guard of the Galloway Mail, that on Thursday the 13th instant, between five and r a o'clock in the evening, a bullock-boat, having on board eight men, one woman, and a child, besides a number of cattle, which was on its passage from Dona 1-11?adee to Portpatrick, went suddenly down, when Itbin about a mile and a half of the la.trr place, and carried to the bottom every creature within her. As she Ih i us vanished like the "baseless fabric of a vi s ion, " rhuut leaving a single " wreck behind," nothing as yet been learnt of her name, or that of her owner, or Low the accident occurred.—Dunefr;es Cour i er. MIDDLESEX Sumo/vs.—The Grand Jury for the Middlesex Quarter Sessions was sworn in yesterday, before F. CossT, Esq. Chairman, and a bench of Magis :Tates. After the usual routine business of swearing in Parish Constables, &c. the Court adjourned to Monday next, at Clerkenwell. This day, the prisoners who stand committed for trial at the ensuing Sessions at the Old Bailey, were re moved from the different prisons to Newgate, prepara tory to their trial at the Sessions, which commence on Thursday next. There are already about 200 prisoners. §i:IRREy SESSIONS. KINGSTON, OCT. IV. Mr. CORLEY, on the pan of Abraham Belasco (one of the hize-fighters), molted for liberty to allow the defendant to withdraw his plea of Not Guilty, and to plead Guilty to the offence he had been indicted for. Mr. Titzsmaß, on behalf of the prosecutor, con sented to the application. The brother of this man was ttied at the late Guildford Assizes, and sentenced to be transpOrted for life for picking the pocket of Mr. Hughes Leigh, at the last Epsom Races. The convicted felon was caught in the act, and his brother, the person now before the Conn, in attempting to rescue him from the custody of the officers, committed the assault now com plained i.f. The defendant, since he had pleaded Guilty, had acknowledged the impropriety of his conduct. Under these circumstances the prosecutor consented to relinquish the proceedings against him, on the condition of his entering into recognizances, himself in 1001. and finding two sureties for 501. each, to keep the peace for ' five years, and also undertaking to appear in Court to receive judgment on this indictment, if it should be thought necessary hereafter to require him so to do. VAUXHALL GARDENS. Mr. BARNWELL applied for the usual license to this place of amusement in the name of Messrs. Gye and Hughes, Mr. Bish having, since the last license was granted, retired from the proprietorship. Mr. Barscon srid, be did not intend altogether to op pose the application, but he could not avoid observing the dangerous effect these places had upon the public morals. He was friendly to those amusements that could be enjoyed by the largest portion of the people of the country, but he thought they should be placed under great restraints. It was not his wish to withhold the license fr m these Gardens, and it the Proprietors would come forward and publicly promise compli ance to tLe regulations they should be required to keep, then he would vote in their I avour ; if they did not, he would move that they be placed under the same re strictions as other publicans. He had attended these Go: dens, and seen scenes so truly disgusting, as to make it improper and indelicate to take any respectable female into them. _ Mr. Spurt said, the Proptietors appeared desirous of complyiag with the wish of the Magistrates to the ut most of their power. They had illuminated all the walks, which were formerly called the " dark walks," and had done every other act that had been suggested to them for the improvement of the Gardens. They had not broken any promise they had enteted into, as he was aware cf, and he therefore could not see that the e was any reason for complaining of them. Mr. SUMNER said, that an indulgence had been granted to the Proprietors of these Gardens, by which they were permitted to sell liquors from the bar till two in the morning. So far they had been exempted from the regulations to which publicans in general were liable, nor had they violated it. Mr. KEN RICK said it was highly improper in any Ma gistrate to bring forward charges against the Proprietors of these Gat dens of the serious kind he had mentioned, without having a single case to name in corroboration (Allis statements. Mr. SUMNER asked if the worthy Magistrate (Mr. B iscoe) would have the bar of these Gardens closed at the s.tnie time that public-houses were shut up ? " No, no !" exclaimed the gteater pat t of the Magistrates on the bench ; that would be at once sa) ing shut up the Gardens atogether. Mr. RANDAL JACKSON said, last year he suggested to the Court two alterations, by which the propriety cf these Gardens would be greatly improved—the first re !erred to a description of dancing which he conceived highly prejudicial to the morals of young persons ; and a promise was then given by the proprietors that it should not again be u ed—a promise which he believed had been adlieted to, as he had not since heard any complaint on that head. The next point related to the time of closing the bar ; and he had no doubt it would. be recollected, that he then wished the hour to be 12; the Magistrates, however, determined that two was the better hour; and he had not been told of any instance whetein the undertaking, not to keep open after that time, had been infringed upon. Mr. BALSCOIC inquired of Mr. Hughes (one of the Proprietors, who wa. in Cow), whether any liquor had been drawn after two? and Mr. Hughes replied, " Most certainly not." Mr. SIMINZIL made a motion chat the license be granted to the individuals applying fur it upon the same terms they took it last year. lie was disposed to follow this course, because during the season, he bad visited the Gardens, and he had not seen the smallest breach in the promises that had ven entered into, when a similar application to the present was made to this Court last year. The motion was carried almost without any apposition.—Li cense granted. The usual licenses were granted to the Surrey and Coburg Theatres, and to Astley's Amphitheatre. COMMERCIAL PaosPealTY.—Yesterday there was not a single meeing of any description at the Court of Commissioners of B inkrupts. A tornado occurred in Vermont, in the State of New Jersey, on the Slst of August, the destructive effects of which were very remarkable. Fortunately its width did not exceed 100 yards, but within that space every thing it encountered was swept away by its fury; houses, barns, fences, and even forests, were laid pro strate. A few lives were lost, and a greater number of persons were seriously injured, but its consequences in this respect were less fatal than they might baste been. Tuesday, a yawl with two men, which had gone off from Portlethen to take up their parton creels, was some time afterwards found on her side, with her mast and sail in the water ; from which itis supposed it must have been upset by a sudden squall.— B.th men, father and son, of the name of Craig, were drowned ; the former leaving a wife and family, as well to lament his loss, as that of the latter sufferer, wl.o was a fine young man of twenty-four years of agTM, on the eve of being married. FIRE AT COCKERMOUTH.—Saturday evening, the extensive premises of Mr. CAPE, joiner and cabinet maker, contiguous to the River Cocker, was discovered to be on fire. On tl-e arrival of the engine, it was found to be not in proper repair ; therefore some time elapsed before it was got ready, when a number of young men plunged into the river, and worked it with consi derable effect—the fire, however, had made too great a progress to be subdued, and it, in defiance of every at tempt to prevent its destruction, continued to rage with unabated tory till the whole of the valuable and extensive property was consumed. It is found floor experience that sharpers never play at chess. It requires too much skill and time to be acceptable at Fishmongers Hall, where simpler and more rapid movements are the order of the day. A person coming into tEe apartment of an acquaint ance, just as he was dining alone on a calf's head, apologized, saying,' I did not know you were engaged in a Cite a tete. THE ARMY The Ist division of the 88th (Ciinatiglat Rangers) Regiment of Foot, has embarked at Cork, for Corfu. The 56th (Herefordshire) Regiment of Infantry has received orders, on being relieved by the 88th Foot, at Corfu, to return to England. A Division of the 42d (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot is ordered to embark on board the Numa transport, on her arrival at Cork from Portsmouth, for conveyance to Gibraltar. • Detachments belonging to the 44th, 58th, 62d, 63d. and 924 Regiments of Infantry, marched yesterday, front Westminster fur Bristol, on route to Ireland. Detachments belonging to the 43d and 64th Regiments of Foot, marched yesterday morning, from Weittninster for Bristol, on route to Plymouth. LIMERICK Ocr. 15.—Detachments of the 2d Battilion of the Rifle Brigade, from Dublin, have been passing through this city thew few days back, on their way to Cork, front whence they are to embark for Malta. The grand division arrived yesterday, and this morning proceeded for the same destination. The Ist Division of the 25th (or Royal Borderers), consisting , of three Companies, under Major Woliss.zir, Captains PRIESTLY and STEWART, marched yesterday from Dublin for Kilkenny ; and the second division, consisting of two Companies, under Major 111 , Dorisst. and Captain SWENIT, marched this day, the former for Carlow, and the latter for Athy. The remainder of this distinguished Corps remain in Dublin, until further orders. The last and principal Division of the 58th Regiment marched from Waterford on Wednesday, fur Dublin. Among the memorabilia of the present times are the two Opposition Members for Reading having pledged themselves, in future, to support Administrati ; and the wealthy Opposition family in the neighbouring county having promised their support to the Tories. The 21st ult. a Jury was impannelled, as usual, to elect Bailiffs for the Borough of lit idgenuith ; but such was their inability to come to any Agreement, that they ternained locked up for fifty-six hours. Hoge » M SSION AKY SOC I ETY.—The Clerkenwell Auxi:i iry Bi a! ch of the Institution held their S:rh Annual Meeting in the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, SpatieLls, on Tuesday night. fnr the purpose of receiving the R: port of last y,ear, electing officers, &c. The Rev. G. C. of Penzance, in the Chair. The Retort described the proceedings of the Society for the Fist year in very favourable terms, both as regards its operations and funds. The Rev. Mr. DONNE, SPENSER, and several other Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting. A number of routine Resolutions were' passed, and a tolerable subscription being made at the doors, the Meeting, which was numerous, dispersed. Sunday afternoon, discourses were made by the Durham Ranters in the Low College, in consequence of the foundation stone of their intended new Chapel haw- ing been laid on the day previous by a Mr. Roairisow, of Houghton•le•Spring. Amongst the various orators was a hunchbacked man, facetiously called King iiich ard, who spoke very bitterly again. t game ter,. He declared that the owner of the tacehorse Alderman, and the Alderman himself, together with cock.fighters, Ste, were running a race to hell !-7'yne Mercury. The following census of the population of a town in the State of New York, principally on account of the uncommon minuteness of detail into which it goes, renders it a statistical curiosity :—" Census for the town of Sherborne for 1825-1,239 males, 1,265 fe males, total 2,504 ; 213 subject to military duty, 472 voters at elections, 297 married females under the age of 45; 286 unmarried between the ages of 16 and 45 ; 515 do. under 16, 17 marriages in the year past, 45 male births, .10 female do. 23 male deaths, 13 female do. 40 persons of colour that are not taxed, four ditto that are taxed, two ditto that are qOalified to vote at elections, one foreigner, 11 paupers, five idiots, one lunatic, 15,643 acres of improved land, 3,139 neat cattle, 736 horses,lo,9o6 sheep; 4,011 hogs, 5,441 yards of fulled cloth manufactured the past year, 8,702 yards of flannel ditto ; 15,30 k yards of linen, cotton, and other thin cloths ; six gristmills, ten sawmills, six fulling mills, six carding machines, two woollen factories, two! distilleries, four asheties." The idea of a conference between Catholic and Pro testant Divines, to discuss points of faith at a person it interview, and before an umpire, may be new in Ireland; but we have in modern times an instance of it in Eng land,where two Catholic Priests, a Divine of the Church of England, and two Dissenting Clergymen, met at the Pope's Head Tavern, Cornbill, and afterwards by ad journment, at the Bell, in Nicholas-lane. The meeting, which after a good deal of controversy ended in nothing. as such discussions usually do, arose out of the wager of a Protestant Gentleman, and the particulars of it will be found in the Gentleman's Magazine for May, June, and July, 1735. INCENDIARIES.—Information was yesterday lodged at the Mary-la-bonne Police Office, by Mr. Hugh Byers, the Proprietor of the Brick-works at Portland-town, of a malicious and daring attempt to effect the destruction of his property, by some villainous incendiary. It ap peared, that early on Monday morning,*an immense quantity of hurdles, wheelbarrows, building materials, and indeed everything that could add to or promote a conflagation, were collected in a huge pile close to the new buildings in Portman Brick-fields, Lisson grove North, and set on fire, and very soon became an extensive conflagration, spreading destruction and ruin on every side, and illuminating the horizon to a very considerable extent. Fortunately, however, some watchmen and a party of Mr. Byers's men, with great exertion, confined the flames to the burning mass, and the Sun, Exchange, and Plicenix Fire Engines arriving, the fire was subdued, having destroyed a variety of valuable materials, and sundry hurdles, wheelbarrows, &c. Mr. Byers cannot define the motive of the evil disposed persons who caused this malicious act (ro him probably ruinous, had the flames not been checked), and as his property once or twice before had been as sailed, he was determined upon sparing neither expense nor trouble to discover the incendiary. In this he has the co-operation of the Magi.aracy of the Office, and a large reward is (Skied for any information that ma) tend to detection. The Publication by LORD BRAYRROOKR, of the Mamas of the celebrated SAUCE'. Peers, Esq. the intimate friend of Evacro, excites considerable interest. The diary embraces an important and inuch.talked-of period in our history. Among other great and remarkable events, it treats of the Restoration, of the Plague, and of the Fire of London. It records with minuteness the change in public opinion as the period of Charles's return ap proached, and it marks decisively the growth of the unpopularity which at length overwhelmed the Stuarts. In 1658, Mr. Pepyi became intimately connected with some of the leading public cha racters, and held the situation of a clerk in the Exchequer. Shortly afterwards be was appointed Secretary to the two Generals (as they were designated) of the Fleet—General Monk, afterwards Duke of Albemarle, and Sir G. Montagu, afterwards Earl of Sandwich. By the latter he was treated with the utmost con idence, and both on board ship and on shore, was perpetually in conference with him. The Earl was, in fact, his staunch friend and true patron, for in 1660 he made him clerk of the acts of the Navy, and gained him frequent opportunities of receiving emolu ment, besides bringing him in contact with the King and the Duke of York under very favourable circumstances. Mr. Pepys was also Secretary to the Admiralty, and the offices which he held con sequently afforded him an abundant field for observation. He was far too intelligent to permit it to escape; and a curious picture of that period is the result of his labours. PIFRIL""r'r7 7-7 lllirX f• e' • '" ') • C,' CORONER'S INQUEST'. .• , , . , . %I Yesterday evening an inqnest was held at the Mid;-: dlesex Hospital, Charles -street, Mary-la-bonne, befoie Tfloriias Sitnrawki, Eici: Coroner, on viesi.nf the body of Richard Ruler, a fine youth of about 11 years of age, late in the employ . of Mr.,Thornas Pettit, la COmpton-street, Soho, whose death was occasioned in a singular manner :—He was in the habit, when going to the privy of an eve fling, of taking in his hand a piece of lighted candle without any candlestick ;, and although he had been warned by his mister of the impropriety of such a practice, he still continued it, until it produCed the fatal consequenCes which caused his den' h. It appeared from the evidence of Mary Rogers, ser vant to Mr. Pettit, thit about seven o'clock on Satur day evening last, the boy went into the back-yard with a piece of candle as ab ive described, and went to the privy : he had been there only a few minutes, when he came running into the house, crying, Fire! fire!'— She was in the kitchen, and wen: towards the stairs; and saw the deceased half-way down the stairs, in flames ; he then turned, and ran into the parlour, where Mrs. and Miss Pettit were sitting. She followed him up stairs into the parlour, and with the assistance of Mts. Pettit and a neighbour, who came in at the they rolled the unfortunate youth in the hearth rug, hich put out the fire. Mr. Stanley, surgeon, of Dean street, and other Medical Gentlemen, were sent for, and they also attended. The clothes of the deceased were stripped off, his outer garments were but slightly damaged by the flames, but the whole of his shirt was consumed, and he was dreadfully burnt from his thighs upwards to his neck, and on the back. His burns were carefully dressed, and by the advice of the surgeons, he was put into a hackney-coach, and taken to the Middlesex Hospital. After the agitation and alarm which had been produced by the accident had subsided, the servant went into the privy, and found on the seat a piece of lighted candle, stuck up wish tallow, and still burning. The house surgeon of the Hospital stated, the de csased art ived there about eight o'clock on Saturday evening, and was severely burnt ; he was not sensible, but in greit agony.—Every thing was done that could afford him relief ; but he died from the injuries he had received, a little after twelve o'cli.ck the same night. The Coroner and Jury having viewed the body, which pre sented a melancholy spectacle, returned a verdict ofAccidentalDerti/i. As a proof of the security in case of personal danger by fire, which woollen clothing affords in preference to linen or cotton, it was remarked, that the whole of the clothes of this unfortunate youth which were wool len, were uninjured, whilst the only article of linen which he had on caught the fire, and burnt with mo mentary rapidity. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY MIGHT. The weather to-day has been extremely unfavourable, the rain having descended in torrents throughout. Notwithstanding this, the sport was very fair, and the attendance nearly as numerous as on Monday. His Royal Highness arrived on the Course in a close carriage and four, accompanied by their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Rutland. There were also present—The Dukes of Portland and Grafton; Earls Orford, Verulam, and Stradbroke; Lords Low ther Dunwich, G. H. Cavendish,J.

Wyndham's and Mr. Rush's made very severe running, keeping neck and neck till they made the new ground, Paul Jones and the others being close behind. Here the betting became 3to 1 on Paul Jones, who now took the front, and there were several takers, at heavy figures. At the cords, however, be lost the ad. vantage, the Whalebone cult coming up, and making as pretty and severely contested a race home as the admirers of true running could wish, and winning by a head only. The winner was rode by Arnull ; Paul Jones by Barnard; Mr. Rogers's by Wheatley, 'the General's by Sans Day; Mr. Goddard's by George Dockeray ; Mr. Rush's by Robinson ; Mr. Hunter's by CHIC.; and Colonel Wilson's by Goodison. • Match 100, b. ft.

The conditions were to shoot partridges two days, to toes up for choice of ground the first day, and to exchange ground on the second day, to load their own guns, pick up their g.sme, and to have no other beaters than their dogs. Captain Greville and Mr. Osbaldestone were the umpires. Early in the morning the sportsmen took the field. birds were plentiful, but wild, and the weather favourable, though hot for the season. The parties continued their sport till the close of the day, when Captain Ross appeared much fatigued. The umpires, on their return to the Hall, declared the numbers to Mr. Coke 54 brace, and Captain Ross 40 brace. Amongst the company at the Hall are his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and suite, blarquis of Hastings and family, Lord and Lady Staf ford, Lady Harvey, Hon. B Keppel, Dr. Lushington and family. A. Hudson, Esq. T. W. Coke, Esq. Capt. Ross, E. Osbaldsstone, &c SPARRING. Tea MINIS Couay.—The day after a fight is considered very favourable for a good attendance, and Shelton, a first-rate boxer, had a strung muster yesterday, notwithstanding the elements were so much against his interest ; but the great attraction was the ap pearance of Brown, who defeated Shelton in combat a few months since. Amongst the best sets-to were the following : .lem Ward, the Champion, and Oliver, afforded a treat ; and Oliver, although nearly used up in the service, made a manly stand against the finished master of arts. But Ward, as usual, astonished by his tactics- Brown and Shelton closed the sports in a manly and fine set-to. The former was hailed enthusiastically on mounting the stage. He is a farmer of more than six feet high, and a well proportioned, the kn esithroat, was much , a a s dm in ire real combat, aleitea good visaged young man. He set-to with hands well up, in mis chievous a good ievousatti t bi nde t or , an tw d o, hi a s bo qu u i t c Brown's strength when in, overpowered him. SUCHET and TALLEYRAND are expected at Mar 'silks. They travel together. -~ q , 7 • - ~
