DUBLIN, Nov. 4.—King WILLIAM'S birth-day was celebrated at two o'clock this morning, by a few persons who ap peared near the statue and gave some loud shouts. Nothing else occurred on the occusion. The Durham County Advertiser gives the letter of a Dr. MARSHALL, claiming the authorship of the Ode on Sir Joiis Monne, which first appeared in a London Paper, arr.! adds the following note: 44 This H. Mar shall, M.D. is an eccentric being, who resides in this city, where he is generally known as 4 Veterinary Doctor Marshall.' Ile has long been celebrated for his dog giel rhymes, but we were not before aware that he has ever wrote even a single couplet of poetry." A Dublin Paper, in noticing the theatrical perform ances, confounds Moncreiff's whimsical parody of Don Cauvunni in London, with Mozart's opera at the King's Theatre, :and then tells ns that it is, 6' as the readers 'mow, founded on the celebrated poeM of Don Juan, by Lad Byron." The Editor surely never saw the piece or read the poem, or he would not blunder thus. A frightful event took place on Friday se'n night, at 11. e Bout bon Palace. An enraged man was discovered at the door of the apartments of M. de Patini, Intendant at the Household of the Duke of Bourbon, armed with mols and a sword, and meditating assassination. At ".e moment when M. de Patini was about to open the ci(.or, his servant appeared on the saircase, and seeing e armed assassin, cried out—" Monsieur, don't open it tltey intend to murder you." At that Moment the tl.adman fell upon the unfortunate servant, on whom e inflicted serious wounds, and afterwards Made his escape,—French Paper. Sortie very extensive sales, both of English and foreign Stock, were.made during Friday and Saturday last, for %%Lich, as no general scar city of money existed, nor any otitical intelligence received, the reason was not at first alialetic• It has since been ascertained that most of the sales have originated in the principal banking-houses at the west end of the town, on which there has been a very considerable run, in consequence of the late failures, and still more by the rumoursof others. These are now ascer tained to have been without foundation, and exertions are making to discover the source in which they originated, there being some suspicion entertained, but, we trust and believe, erroneously, of malicious and interested motives. The sales of stock made were chiefly Consols, French scrip, and Mexican bonds. Bank-notes, resulting from these sales, have been forwarded to the banking houses question, who will be fully prepared against the effect Li a run, should it continue this day. The want of con fidence to which we adverted on Saturday, must be un derstood to relate to those persons who make deposits of luney in banking-houses: on the part of the great capitalists, who, of course, have the means of ascertain ha early and promptly the real state of the houses *hose stability has been questioned, there has never existed any: they have, in mcst cases, tendered their sistance to stem the approaching difficulty, which they were convinced could only prove a temporary one. L.IW RF~PORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER s. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not take his seat until ftearly one o'clOck. He rose soon after two, and no motion of any interest was heard. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 6. The VICE-CuANCELLOR did not enter Court until past one o'clock this day. He did not sit longer than an hour, and heard motions of course. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 6. The Judges and King's Counsel arrived in procession about one o'clock, horn Lincoln's Inn, where they had attended the Loan Cuaticeccoa's Levee, as usual on the brat day of Term. The Levee was but thinly attended. The Sitting of the Sessions, In the adjoining room, caused a very great crowd in the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Justice [locum tams first into Court, and heard motions of course, hem behind the Bar. Messrs. the ATTOLNIT•GZNUNAL RAINE SUMMITS, MANSTATT, GURNLY, Notam, and TAUNTON. fil l ed ' the Bar. The Loan Clary Juseics and 3dr. Justice BAYLIT entered at half-past one o'clock. The Report of the Marshal of the King's Bench was read. BANKERS.-BROMAGE V. PROSSER. Mr. CAMPBELL moved to set aside the verdict for the defendant, and obtain a new trial. It was an action for slander, tried before Mr. Justice Park, at Hereford. The plaintiffs were Bankers at Brecon ; they had also a Bank at Monmouth. Both these Banks were in the highest credit on the 13th of January last, when the defendant came into Brecon and said, the plaintiff; Bank at Monmouth had stopped. The defendant being questioned respecting the truth of this assertion, said, it was so reported at Crick Howel. In consequence of this report, a run on the Banks took elate--large sums were drawn out, and during three months the circulation of the Banks was reduced many thousands. The plaintiffs called on the defendant (or an apology, which he refused, and this action was brought. Mr. CAMPBELL now made his motion on two grounds —first, the Learned Judge had admitted evidence that he ought not to have admitted—and, secondly, his di rection to the Jury was wrong. With respect to the evidence, a person was al:owed to prove that one had said-4 , There has been a run on the Bank at Mon mouth, and they have stopped." The Learned Judge not only considered that evi dence admissible, but told the Jury malice was the foun dation of all actions for words, and that the action could nut lie unless the words appeared to the Jury malicious. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant, but said they very much disapproved of the defendant's conduct in refusing an apology. Judge BA VlAY.—There was no justifiable occasion for the com munication. 'rite LOKO Cum? Jurrick—Take a rule to shew cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER 6. The Judges of this Court met today in banao, but there was no motion of importance heard before them. COURT OF CON-DELEGATES, NOVEMBER 6. BRISCO AGAINST BRISCO. In this protracted case, Lady Brisco applied to the Court, by affidavit, to have the term probatory, for the examina‘ion of certain witnesses vouched to an allega tion brought in by her Counsel at the last Court of De legates, extended to the next assignation. Dr. ARNOLD and Dr. JENNER supported the appli cation, which was opposed by Dr. l'airwmorte and Dr. LUSUINOTON, who called on the Court to decree publication, and go on forthwith to the conclusion of the cause. The sole motive of Lady Brisco appeared to be delay; and her Ladyship having taken out compulsories against Sir Wastell lit is co's two sons (who, with Sir Wastell, were in Court), the Learned Counsel hoped their Lordships would dis countenance so immoral an attempt to bring in children to prove the adultery of their father. These compulsories it had been attempted to serve upon the children at school. After a good deal of most desultory discussion, the Con-Delegates (as well as we could understand the intentions of a Court, several members of which were speaking at one and the same time) decreed publication as prayed, and rejected Lady Brisco's demand. SHERIFFS COURT, NOVEMBER 6. EXTENTS OF THE CROWN AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF MARSH AND CO.-THE KING V. WM. MARSH, ESQ. SEND The writ of extent in this case, 'Which was the first for inquiry, and adjourned from one o'clock this fore noon until seven this evening, was beard before -- HENCHMAN, E‘q. Under Sheriff, and a common Jury. Mr. Peacock, as Solicitor for the Post Office, and Mr. Alex. Gordon, for the creditors, appeared. Mr. HINIIIIMAX stated, that a box of plate, belonging to Mr. Marsh, valued at £440, was seized under this extent. In addition to the evidence of Mr. Dyer, clerk to Martin, Store, and Co. whu had been previously ex amined, the following witnesses were examined *Mr. Arthur Cutbert Marsh sworn ent examined—ls son of Mr. Wm. Marsh, of Berners-street ; as far as witness knew of the private property of his father (who is seventy years of age), he gave - the following parti culars : His father has been thrice married. He has, under the mat riage settlement of his second wife, an in terest in 16,6664 13s. 4d. three per cent. Consols; under his third wife's marriage settlement 3,8101. East India stock, to the interest of which he is entitled during his life. Witness, together with George Ed ward Graham, were the trustees. Witness's father re ceives the interest, by annuity, of 9001. a year under the first settlement, and 3001. a year under the second mar riage settlement. Mr. Ifrocumax—Does this property arise by deeds of settle. .thent ?--Certainly. Mr. Ilexcastaw—Then I am of opinion It is necessary that such deeds should be produced, as it is not competent to give evidence of the contents. Wanebs proceeded—This stock had been sold out and invested in other securities; but, in Ent, his father was entitled to the interest on those sums. After his father's death the property goes to his children, issue of the second marriage. There are 'children by that marriage, who are all of age (number not stated). His interest under his third marriage consists of 3001. a-year, and two houses in Bedford-square; he has no issue of the third marriage, and he derives no benefit under that settlement until after the death of his present wife, who is about 50 years of age, The property under the third marriage is assigned to witness on consideration of a mortgage. At the death of the present Mrs. Marsh, it returns to the absolute disposal of witness's father, but he is not certaia of this. In case of no issue, witness takes the reversion in fee, after his father's death. The assignment to witness, by his father, was in 1816. The deeds ate in the hands of Mr. Ward, w itness's solicitor. Witness's father has, besides, wider his fires marriage settlement, a house in Sloane-square, Chelsea, but does not know who occupies it ; his tather's private propetty consists besides, of a promissory note, not yet due, of John Wells Bozan, for 5,1071. which will be due in May neat, payable to his father i and endorsed over as a . . 'security to the house in Berners-street for any advances they might make on his father's private account. A question here arose, whether an Extent of the Crown could reach a note indorsed over as a security Mr. 111 sCIIMAN was of . oiinion that it would; if not disentinted. His father further in possession of a Policy of insurance with the Equitable Office, his pro perty, on the life of Tho Mas Williams Williams, Eq . for 50001. deposited in like manner with the banking house in Bertiers-street ; has, besides, five shares in the Plymouth Dock, which are not assigned, worth 2001. a share; witness's father has also con•ideiable landed estates in the Counties of Hertford and Kent ; cannot say as,to . his father's property in pictures, beyond what were sold . . On further examination. witness said he and his father are interested in carrying on the busine , s of Navy Agents, in Scotland yard. The debts ItArn man. Naval Officers to witness and father in their business of Navy Agents, amount to upwards of 100000/. There are also debts due horn that concern. That will appea, from the books, the accounts not being wound up. Mr. Williams Dobson, 'clerk in the house of Martin. Stone, and Co. of Lomb:Ur:l-street, depo ed that the pri vate account of Mr. William Marsh with that house, on the 13th September last, was 3141. Is. Id. Oa the morn ing of the 14th,the greater part was drawn out. They did not conceive they were entitled to stop his receipts cn the private account, although the bankruptcy was gazetted. There was another account with the firm of Marsh, Sibbald, and Co. which stood from the 12th of September (11,000/. 14s. 51) until the 2d of October, when 7,000/. was paid over to the provisional assignee. On the 14th, the balance of Mr. Marsh's private ac count was 521. 10s. and the sum now remaining to his account was 21.105. Mr. HENCHMAN Observed, if the enquiry was to go into the banking account in Berners•street, it would be impossible to get through it this night. Mr. Its. Kirby, late clerk in the house of Marsh and Co. deposed that Mr. Wm. Marsh, seri. had a private account with the house in Beraers-street, the present ba lance of which was 19481. I Is. Sd. in his favour. The accounts of the house were not made up, and witness could not say how far there would be a surplus balance in Mr. Marsh's favour. A discussion now took place between Mr. Henchman and Mr. Peacock, as to the imperfect evidence of the value of the several species of property - in which Mr. l Marsh was interested. Mr. Henchman observed, that' with the exception of the plate and houses, no evidence had been given by which the Jury could form an esti mate of the interest Mr. Marsh actually possessed. Mr. Peacock insisted that the description given by Mr. Marsh, jun. of houses and estates, besides annuities, promissory notes, and policies of insurance, were suffi cient for the object of this enquiry. It was agreed, under this difficulty, to adjourn the enquiry for the present. FiltES. FIRE AT STAVERTON MILLS. We regret (says the Salisbury Journal) to have to announce the destruction by fire of a very extensive Woollen Factory near Bradford, in this county, which, besides the loss of property it has occasioned, has thrown an immeti,e number of people out of employ. Stayer ton Mill, the property of the respectable and well-known firm of COOPER, BROTHERS, and Co. was burnt to the ground, on Friday night last; and we ire informed, by an eye-witness of the disaster, that the flames spread so instantaneously and so rapidly, that almost at the mo ment the fire broke out the entire building was one terrific blaze—baffling all human efforts to subdue it. Providentially, the night was perfectly calm, owing to which the exertions of the firemen, directed to the pre servationof the surrounding detached buildings, were rendered successful. The fire is supposed to have been accidental. Fortunately, no lives were lost. FARTHER PARTICULARS. MELKSHAM, Nov. 6.—The damage occasioned by the fire at the cloth manufactory of Messrs. COOPER, BRO THERS, and Co. at Staverton, last night, is the total destruction of that extensive and valuable concern, es timated at upwards of £lOO,OOO, and it is reported that the insurance covers only 50,00 W. Upwards of 1.000 persons are thrown out of employment by this mel in choly occurrence. The Lady of the spirited proprietor was, at the time, in a peculiarly delicate situation, and was under the necessity of being removed to a ft fiend's house. A diabolical villain took advantage of the distress, and robbed the house of all its valuable plate ; he is now in custody. Friday, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, the flax mill of Mr. Moses Atkinson, at the Bank, in Leeds, took fire, and notwithstanding the prompt arrival of several engines, and the advantage of a plentiful supply of water, the flames spread with such amazing rapidity, that nearly the whole of the building was reduced to a heap of wins in less than two hours. The fire origi nated in the carding-room, in the top story, and was occasioned by the friction of part of the machinery. The room, which was full of work-people, chiefly children, was instantly in flames; but we are happy to state that they all effected their escape, though not without considerable dif f iculty, many of them being obliged to leave their clothes behind them. It was en tirely owing to the judicious measures of the firemen and a few active friends, whO volunteered their services on this alatniing occasion, aided by the zealous co operation of all classes whom the alarm had drawn to gether, that the warehoute, engine -house, and a small portion of the mill were preserved, and that the flames were prevented from extending to the contiguous dwell ing-houses. It is of course impossible to speak with any accuracy as to the amount of damage occasioned by this destructive fife, but it is thought that the loss will not be less than 10,0001. The property is insured to a certain extent in the Sun and Imperial Assurance Offices; but, it is said, not sufficiently to cover the whole loss. Between two and three hundred people have been thrown out of employ ment by this calamitous accident; but there is this miti gating circumstance attending it, that it has not been fatal to the life of any individual, nor has any serious personal injury been sustained by any of tbe persons who rendered their assistance on the occasion, though much risk was necessarily encountered. Between the hours of two and three o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in a house at the lower end of Bowling -street, Clerkenwell, which for a considerable time threatened destruction to the surrounding buildings; 'however, by the prompt attendance of the paroFhial and other engines, together with a very abundant supply of water, the flames were got under before any material injury was sustained. The Columbus reached Gravesend on S.tturday night. and she is eipected at Blackwell between one and two o'clock to morrow. The Tourist, the Soho, and the Jame, Watt, have been sent to tow her up—one a-stern, and two a-head. .tpoßiiNd .

Tuesday last, whilst the harriers belonging to Joni; Trftsrrros, Esq. of Hale hall, Worcestershire, were trailing for a hare near that mansion, they unexpectedly came across the drag of a fox, to which they instantly gave tongue, and went off at full speed to Markham Coppice, a distance of three miles, which they had scarcely entered before lieynard broke cover on the opposite side ; his staunch , pur suers instantly pushed through, and again caught the scent, when a finer run has seldom occurred. Reynard, bidding defiance to them, wentloff right a-head, crossing the country to Kinneaton hills, a distance of twenty miles, to which place he was closely pursued, and killed in a fallow field, after a run of two hours with scarcely a cheek. Out of the numerous field of sportsmen, Mr. Twisleton, junior, and the whipper-in, were the only two in at the death. PEDESTRIANISM. Mc G.

There was a vet y large arrival of Wheat, Barley, and Dour, last week, but of other articles the quantities were only moderate. This morning there is a good fresh supply of Wheat and Barley from Kssex, Kent, and Suffolk. The millers have been le.s eager in purchasing Wheat than of late, and the trade has been dull this morning, and prices have declined 2a. to 3s. per qr. from the terms of this day se nnight. Barley is plentiful, and Is. per qr. cheaper. Beans do not sell so freely as of late, and new are declined in value full 2s. per qr. Grey Peas are rather dearer. Boiling Peas sup port the rates last quoted. The quantity of Oats at market is only moderate, and there being a tolerably free demand for this article, the prices of last week are rather exceeded for the finest qualities.
