DIORAMA: o n Saturday we were favoured with a private view of t he Diorama, which has been closed a few weeks, and no w opens with two sew views—the Cathedral of Chartres and the Harbaur of Bred. The latter picture i s beautifully painted ; the ships in the foreground es pecially, stand out in a surprisingly natural manner. In v i ew ing the picture attentively, the tone of colour of the s k y i s particularly remarkable for its mellowness, and at a considerable apparent distance a cloud of smoke is distinctly seen passing over some of the buildings. The imitation is so perfect, that it is difficult at first to sup pose that it is the mere effect of mechanical contrivance. The Church of Notre WM. de Chartres is a noble Gothic edifice, of great antiquity. The walls contain, as is usual in such buildings, several compartments or Chapels, and in one of these Chapels the spectator is placed; or, as the printed description most unacc)unt ably expresses it, " the position of the spectator is sup posed to be in one of these Chapels close to which the painter has placed us." On the first glance we remark the same attention to the accessories which distinpuNied the last work of the same artist. The stones of the pave ment have the aspect of positive solidity. On the step opposite the Chapel, and consequently with his face to wards the spectator, is a devotee kneeling near a large pillar. This pillar bas a wonderful effect of prominence and roundness, and appears palpable to feeling as to sight. The strong light cast upon it is admirably calculated to bring it forward, and throw back the more distant objects. A picture suspended on this pillar is so raised to the eye, that, with the exception perhaps of the lower sha dow, it is impossible to perceive that it is not real. On each side, looking from the Chapel in which he is placed, the spectator sees an aisle with an arched roof, supported by double rows of pillars, and beyond these the windows of stained glass and Chapels formed in the recesses. On the right he will be particularly pleased with the beautiful reflection from the stained glass on one of these pillars. On the left the management of the cross lights, and of the light and shade generally, is exceedingly skilful. There are some figures too which are well disposed, and a banner is placed, leaning against a column, in such a manner as materially to a“.l the illusion. Immediately opposite, beyond the great pillar, is seen the screen which incloses the choir. It is a rich Gothic composition, and the basso relievos appear to be singularly fine. NAVAL L TELLIGENCE. The Fruhling, SCHRODER ' front Memel, has put Into Harwich with loss of rudder, anchor, and cable, part of her cargo thrown overboard, and waterlogged, having been on the Holme sand. The Fort, A :Axle, from Peteraburgh to Lynn, struck on some rocks near Hogland, previous to the 19th inst. and filled with water —crew saved.

Accounts have been received of the death of ABRA- R&M MONTS/10RX, Esq. at Lyons, on the =sth inst. He bad been "'disposed for a considerable time, and travelled in hopes of bene lung his health. He was about 35 years of age, and three years i,on. was well known on the Stock Exchange, from his extensive specuLtiuns. The celebrated German philologer, Frederick Wolf, died on the nth of this month at Marseilles, whither he had gone for the recovery of his health. He was in the 66th year of his ago, Last night, soon after eleven o'clock, a fire broke nut is the first floor of No. 2, Jane•street, Commercial-road. The speedy arrival of engines soon enabled the firemen to extinguish the 11 . mes, which were confined to the floor where it commenced. It b conjectured that the window curtains had caught fire from a candle, incautiously placed near them. Saturday afternoon the wall at the east end of the Inv-mills of Messrs. Turner, in Gravel-lane, which had been ve:kened by the fire, fell down with a tremendous crash, doing e , nsickrable vantage to a house opposite. Fortunately no person was krt, though a minute before Gravel-lane was filled with persons ‘Levi:ng the ravages of the fire,which destroyed seven or eight houses A: one time it was feared that Aldgate workhouse would have 1401 fire; and it was distressing to see the individuals whose Pr"Pecy was wholly deAroyed, escaping from danger: those li hn saved a littl e o f t h e i r f urn i ture l o d ge d i t in front of the work i'lte. in Cock-and.lloop-court.

PORTSMOUTH REGATTA. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 28. The port of Portsmouth Regatta, which took place yesterday and to-day, has excited the most extensive in terest and attention, end has passed off with a degree of splendour of which niv similar spectacle can boast. The Royal Yacht Club, the titled bathing visitors from Ryde, Cowes, and Southampton, the admirers of nautical skill, and of aquatic exhibitions, and a large influx of genteel company, from the surrounding country, who, from taste and public feeling, patronized everything that tends to strengthen Britons best bulwark, have all I been assembled these two days, either as gratified spec tators upon our shores, or embarked on the waters in the numerous crowds of yachts, vessels, and boats, of almost every form which Naval Architecture had devised. The weather on both days was the most beautiful of the whole year, the heat being most agreeably moderated by a fresh sailing breeze—so admirably suited to such an animating and pleasing exhibition. The first day commenced with a match of six wherries of the largest class; which was contested in a style that reflected credit upon the wherrymen ; the first prize was won by the Shannon, Barron; second, Fox, Smith; third, Pearl, Little; fourth, Clipper, Whitaker; fifth, Sally (carried away her mast); sixth, Sovereign, Bur ford: This match was followed by two divisions of the Sailing Boats of the Ships in Ordinary, sailing under the direction of Captain Thomas, R. N. and superin tended by Lieutenant Martin, and other Officers. These boats afforded a pleasing diversity to the amusement. An interesting match then took place between four large smacks; and more skill and good management were never shean upon any former occasion. The first prize of 25 sovereigns, was won by the Jane, Greentham (which excluded her from sailing for M adame Catalani's Cup, the next day); the second prize of ten sovereigns, by the Twin, Scott; the third of five sovereigns, by the Ebenezer, Abinett ; and the last vessel (which was very interior in size) was the George and William, Judd. The Sailing Course was from a vessel moored off the Plat form, along Southsea-beach, thence round the buoys of the Spit and of the Royal George, to Fort Monkton, along Haslar Beach, to the Platform—three times. The second day's sailing commenced with the starting of five vessels, of about 12 to 15 tons; the seamen in which exhibited great skill and daring, carrying a very heavy press of canvas to obtain the premier prize, 15 sovereigns, which was at length won by the James and Mary, Robinson. The other vessels came in in rotation thus :—Eliza, Diaper; Ellen, Davis; Resolution,Wood ; Rectitude, Woad; they severally obtained seven, three, and one sovereign. The third division of the Boats of the Ordinary then started, and the management of them discovered considerable skill, and was highly creditable to the men on board. Four wherries, rowed by two kien each, with a steersman, went thrice round a course, near the shore, which terminated as follows : Pearl, first; Grasshopper, second ; Jane Lowther, third ; Fanny, fourth. At three o'clock this afternoon, Madame Catalani's Cup became the desired object of attention ; and it afforded a most interesting and well-contested match l ' between the Twin, Ebenezer, and Geor g e an d Willi am • 1 but the superior sailing of the Twin was d ec id e dl y manifested; and to Mr. Scott was adjudged the muni-1 ficent gift of the above-named Lady.—The cup was pre- sented by her fair hand, to the winner, on board the Nelson (Rev. C. North's yacht), filled with wine, after she had drank his health. It was then passed to the Chairman, Treasurer, and Committee, who, after par taking of its contents, put it on board the lucky vessel,' filled, and the crew, with an enthusiasm natural to, British Tars, shared the same in a manner gratifying to Madame Catalani, Mrs. North, and the Ladies and Gentlemen who were on board the yacht. The in ter esting day concluded with a fine exhibition of fire works on the glacis. Among the numerous company present we noticed— His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, Lords Melville, Spencer, Mac clesfield, Darnley, Ilehester , Craven, Yarbor o u g h, S urre y, Deer burst, Clifton • Sirs G. Leeds, C. Farrington, It. Williams, J. Lyon. G. Th omas; Admirals Sir George Martin, Sir Th omas Foley, Sir J. H. Whiuhed, Waller Otway, .1. Bligh, General Crosbie, &c. The Regatta Ball, at the Southsea Promenade Rooms, last night, was attended by upwards of 400 persons, who kept that amusement up until nearly day-light this morning. By letters from Cochin China we learn, that the Go vernment there has made a great progress in creating an intercourse with the merchants of Europe, by open ing their ports to the goods of the different nations, on payment of a moderate duty. The French are stated to have taken advantage of this,.and to have commenced a trade of some consequence with them. The following is an extract from a letter written by a distinguished Officer employed at Jamaica:—" Port Royal, July 12.—We have been threatened with a Negro War here lately, but lam happy to say that all is quiet again, at least as far as can be seen; but, owing to the discussion of Parliament, as well as the constant agitation of the question of making the slaves free (out of Parliament), the minds of that class of beings are very much unsettled in this island just now. Sir John Keane, by his promptitude and decision, aided by the exertions of another excellent officer, Captain Harris, of the Hussar frigate, soon quieted the tears of the in habitants of that part of the island (Savannah la Mar) where insurrection was dreaded, by instantly proceeding personally to the spot, and carrying with them, in the Hussar, half of the Gordon Highlanders to back them. They have returned, after having done their business well, but without any blood shed in fighting." A Commission, appointed to examine the state of the Austrian Sinking Fund, made a report to the Emperor on the 28th of May last. By that report, which has only recently been printed, it appears that the active capital of the Sinking Fund, which was at the end of the 13th half year 150,832,582 florins, 17 4-Bths kreu zers, amounted at the close of the 14th half year, ending on the 28th of February last, to 155,446,5351 7 3-Bths kr. and that it cynsequently obtained an in crease of 4,613,952f1. 7 2-Bths kr. The annual interest of this active capital, calculated entirely in conventional money, which at the close of the 14th half year grew to 4,403,2511 37 2.Bths kr. was at the close of the 13th half year only 4,191,8881 2 6-Bths kr. The Fund for the extinction of the new debt has an annual income of 9,903,251f1. 37 2-Bths kr. besides 109,5181 30 kr. of 5 per cent. stock. The obligations redeemed in con ventional money since the Ist of March, 1817, make 92,902,2120. 26 5-Bths kr. nominal amount, or a capital, reckoning the interest at 5 per cent. of 73,366,9841 .57 4.6ths kr. The amount of the extinction of old debt, reckoning the average interest at 2i per cent. was in the 14th half year 2,735,0358. 11 kr. and during the whole pet iod of redemption, commencing with the 14th of April, 1818, there has been extinguished 40,980,0561 40 3-Stbs kr. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDFORD, AUGUST 28. THE ANGEI. ESTATE.-DOE AND BA YLEY V . ANGEL . TDIS was an action of ejectment, to recover the pos session of certain buildings and lands, at St. Mary, Lambeth, Tooting, and other places in this county. fhe object of this ejectment was to determine the right between the contending parties. to the great An gel Estate, whi c h h as b een the subject of so much litigation, both at law and equity. The lessor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Mary Bayley, claimed, as heir at law of the common ancestor of both parties, namely, William Angel, who was a citizen and fish monger of London in 1623, and third son to a Mr. An gel, who held the office of Serjeant of the Acatery (pastrycook or confectioner) to James the First and Charles the First, and who had married Joan Povey, the daughter of John Povey Geat. and sister to Justi nian Povey, wha was Auditor• General to Queen Anne: The defendant claimed as devi,ee, under the will of the person last seised of the immense estates in question. It was expected that the trial would last at least two days, but after two or three witnesses were examined, the plaintiff's cause completely broke down. As all eady mentioned, Mrs. Bayley claimed, as—surviving heir at law of the common ancestor, but it appeared that she had still a brother living, -who had issue, and whose! title, if he had any, would take precedence of her s. In consequen ce o f t hi s unexpected discovery, the plaintiff was nonsuited. Great expense had been incurred in getting up the Cause, and unt 1 ete fact was proved in eviJence, the So licitors for the plaintiff were kept in the dark as to the fact of there being any male branches of the family in existence, who had a better title than Mrs. Bayley to the estates. In consequence of the sudden breaking up of this cause, the parties were not ready in the remaining causes, and, therefore, it became necessary to withdraw the records. CARLISLE, AUGUST ee. SEDUCTION. Mr. PATTESON opened the pleadings. This was an action against the defendant, for the seduction of the plaintiff s daughter per quod servitium The de fendant pleaded the general issue, whereupon issue was joined.—Mr. BRoUGHAM told the Jury that they had heard from his Learned Friend the nature of the issue Which they had to try. The plaintiff was a butcher, and the defendant was a farmer living in his neighbour hood. The action was brought to recover a compensa tion in damages for one of the most serious injuries that a father could sustain—namely, the seduction and ruin of his child. The law of England allowed such a com pensation in a very singular way : it said, that a father might recover damages for such an injury, not merely in proportion to the loss of his child's services, but also in proportion to the loss he sustained in being deprived of her society And character, and to the dishonour and misery which he re ce i ve d thereby. At the same time, unless a loss of service could be shewn, the law said that the father should not recover for the loss of his daugh ter's char acter and society. On account of the singu larity of the present case, he thought it requisite to mention this point in the first instance, in order that he 'might have the benefit of his Lordship's opinion upon it. What he considered to be the greatest aggravation of the defendant's guilt might in this case be set up as an' answer to the action. The plaintiff's daughter was the hired servant of the defendant at the time when he com pleted her seduction. That circumstance was, he main tained, the greatest possible aggravation of the defen dant's offence; for, to use the authority of the master to effect the ruin of the servant, involved a breach of trust reposed in him, and evinced a want of proper respect, not only to his servant, but also to himself. Yet, under such circumstances, the law of England said that the action of seduction did not lie. Without ques tioning the propriety of that rule at present, he would simply observe, that the circumstances which he was about to mention were, in his opinion, sufficient to take this case out of it. The hiring, as well by the custom of the county as by express stipulation, was for the half year, a week being allowed her during that time to go where she liked. During that week she was accus tomed to go home to her father, and whilst there per formed such services— 'o Mr. Baron HuLt.ocx—l am afraid that will not do. I remember a very aggravated case in which a Clergyman was the defendant, in -which it was decided that that was not sufficient proof of less of service. Mr. &mum said the case was tilat of Deane and Peel, sth East. Mr. BROUGHAM submitted that that was not a case in point. There the daughter went into the service of defendant's brother-in law, where she remained without any animus revertersdi ; whereas here, the daughter returned periodically and worked for her father. Mr. Baron Hot.t.occ said he was very sorry, but he feared, if the case stood as he described it, the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Mr. BROUGHAM said he could carry the case no further. The plaintiff was nonsuited. Samuel Cube, alias Charles Samuel Cave, stood charged with having, on the 25th day of March last, feloniously married and taken to wife one Mary Cape, at the pat ish of St. Cuthbert, Carlisle, in this County, his former wife (Catherine Bingham) being then alive. The case of the prisoner excited great interest at this place, and the Ladies of Carlisle were kept till a late hour in the day, in breathless expectation of its being called. The Court was crowded to excess. Mr. COURTNEY stated the case on the part of the pro secution. The prisoner, he said, had come into this city, and put up at the sign of the King's Arms Inn, in English -street, where he fell desperately in love with Mary Cape, the sister-in-law of Mrs. Donald, under standing she had a fortune to receive on her coming of age ; and to skew that he was a man of pretensions, he assumed the Gentleman by stating that he was shortly to be in the receipt of vast property, and laid claim to an estate at Thornly Hall, besides which he l.alfunded property, and was in other respects a man of consequence; but unluckily for our hero, he wanted filthy lucre ; and what does he do but set about " raising the wind," and was so fortunate as to obtain a certain loan from a respectable Solicitor of this place (a Mr. G. Saul) whom he sent for afterwards to make his will, being taken very ill at church soon after his arrival, to whom he made known his great wealth and title, informing him of his pedigree, and said that he had been advised to come to Carlisle by a surgeon, for the benefit of his health, which was very precarious when he left his paternal seat. The result was, that he obtained from Mr. Saul 301. which he forgot to pay, and which he was charged with ob taining under false pretences, but which was subse• quently given up, and the prisoner now stood to take his trial for the bigamy only. The Learned Counsel having stated the preliminary facts, called several wit nesses, who proved that the prisoner was a journeyman cooper, of 110 estate whatever ; they also proved his marriage with Charlotte Bingham, and his subsequent marriage with Mary Cape. The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury, aftti consulting a few minutes, found him Guilty. The prisoror WA again indicted for, and found Guilty of a third marriage w►th a person of the name of Sarah Kent.—He was transported for seven years. John Moor, aged 39, and James Brown, aged 50, stood charged with stealing from the person of John Carruthers, at Stannup, a pocket-book, containing val ions cash notes to a considerable amount.—After the evidence had been gone through, The Learned JUDGE charged the Jury, who brought in a verdict of Guilty as to J. Moor, and acquitted James Brown from the want of evidence. The JuDGE said, that but for the circumstance of his having been in the service of his King and country, he should have felt it his duty to have visited him with a severe punishment ; as it was, the sentence of the Court was that he he imprisoned two years in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour.— The prisoner wore a W,iterloo medal. James Davidson, aged 27, was found guilty of felo• niousiy taking from the person of John Matthews, of Warnell Fell, the sum of 275. at the end of Caldew Bridge, near the city of Carlisle.—Guilty, Death. GLOUCESTER, AUGUST 28. Alta Perry, an extremely respectable looking mar ried man, was indicted for abusing the person of Eliza beth, the daughter of Thomas Taylor, a child of the age of four }ears and six months. The child was a remarkably handsome 6ae•looking child, but as front her tender years she was ignorant of the religious obligation of an oath, she could not be ex antitiel, and the pt Loner was therefore acquitted of the capital charge, but was tried for the misdemeanour. .111 t prisoner was found " Guilty" on the clearest but most di,- gusting evidence. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RACING AT AT ASCOT HEATH. Saturday, an excellent race for the Bewdlry Hunters' Stake of 10 sovereigns each, with six subscribers, took place, weights 12st. Two mile heats.

SHOOTING MATCH TOIL THE FARLEY.III 11. AIEDAL. The Gold Medal, by subscription, between the Nlidgham, Ash ton, and New Hants Clubs, was shot for on Saturday, at the annual meeting, on the Micigham inclosure, with a Silver Cup for the se cond best shot, at seven birds each, twenty-one yards from the trap, and the charge not to exceed two ounces of shot. Twenty amateurs shot for the prizes, and the following killed their seven birds each : Mr. Arbuthnot, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Lamb, Mr. Fortescue, Mr. Holdsworth. A second tie was made by the first three killing their next seven birds, and the first prize was won by Mr. Arbuthnot, as follows : —Arbuthnot killed 6, Gregory 5, Lamb 5. In shooting off the second tie, the silver tankard was won by Mr. Gregory killing four birds, and Mr. Lamb three. BOXING. At Holt Hill, near Tranmere, Cheshire, there was a grand dis play of the Fancy on Tuesday last. Rumour had spread, " with her thousand tongues," that a set-to for twenty guineas aside was decided upon, and all the Hash coves and bits of blood in the neigh bourhood were in requisition. Upwards of 8,000 people crossed the Mersey, from Liverpool, to witness the exhibition. The fight took place in a forty-feet ring, at lialf-minute time.— The patties, Boscow, a butcher, and Morrison, a glass-blower, the former a Wirralite, the latter a Warwickshire lad. About half-past one the combatants entered the ring and peeled, and at this time it is computed there were ten or fifteen thousand spectators present. After a little sparring, Kill-bull let fly one of his hest whirly pap at Glassy's head, followed up by a heavy right-bander in his polotoe trough, which made him blow to some purpose. The first four rounds let the critics into the secret, and although the fight, if it might be called one, extended to twenty-nine rounds, it was evident that Glassy had no chance whatever—he had only three rounds iu his favour. Boscow felled him as he would a bullock. From' the commencement of the fight there was nothing but round hitting, and Kill-bull won easy from his superior strength— science there was none—it was a mere pully-hauly display. Both parties are about twenty-one years old ; Boscow, a powerful ama. teur, nearly six feet high, possessing great muscular strength. Mor rison is about five feet eight inches, and was a mere chicken when compared with his antagonist. On the whole, a greater hoax on the lovers of pugilism has sel dom been played oft: A second battle took place between an amateur on the wrong side of fifty, and a very powerful aspirant nearly two yards long, and whose head had not wintered a score of years. The old one laid into him right and left—nobbed and chopped him in style, so that, after having his face elegantly carved, and his claret well tapped, the veteran was declared con9v.ror. At a Grand Common Day of the Corporation of Cambridge, held on Tuesday, BENJAMIN Currcr, Esq. was elected Mayor of that town for the year ensuing. Messrs. Trrouss WOO.). WARD, JAMES HARVEY, JOHN CHANDLER, and BERNARD DICERS. sox, were appointed Bailiffs, and Mr. A. CHEVELL and Mr. JAMES Baciwy, were re-elected Coroners. PROLIFIC CHARACTER OF CONTEMPORARY LITEItA• TURF. —Although• the New CRITICAL GAZETTE notices, in its three first Numbers, no less than 250 New Works pul,lislicd in the months immediately preceding; yet the Fourth Nunther, which will appear on the first of September, will include above Seventy others that appeared in the month of July. A clierp review of every new Work without exception, so early as a month after it s appear ance, has, as might be expected, created an extraordinary interest in the Literary World. It was the one thing which everybody wanted,gnd called for. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 30. The quantity of Wheat and Flour that came in lAA week was very large, but this morning the fresh arrivals ate not considerable, yet, as the weather has been remarkably fine, and much Wheat being left on hand unsold, the trade for this article is excessively dull, and the prices have declined 3). to 4s. per quarter from the terms of this day se'nnight._ Iu Barley there is scarcely any trade at present, and the prices of last Monday are hardly maintained. Beans are not plentiful, but they sell very heavily, at our last quotations. Boiling Peas meet very few buyers at present, and the terms of this article are unaltered. Grey l'eas are scarce, and not any cheaper. Oats are reported ls. per quarter lower than this day se'rmight, and the trade is more free at this decline. In Flour there is no alteration.
