Melksham Spa undress balls are this season nume rously attended: the last formed a select assemblage of beauty and fashion. The company, after taking tea and coffee, commenced a series of quadrilles and country dances, with great spirit, until eleven o'clock, • when the ball closed for the evening. Lincoln's Inn-fields, which is the most extensive and best laid out square in the metropolis, in respect to its plantations, is shortly to receive that improve flient which it has so long wanted, to make it one of 'the most complete quadrangles in Europe, by the re moval of the old pavement without the enclosure, and repaving both the foot and carriage ways in the modern style, instead of with the old stones, in use full half a century ago. The Proprietor of the Haymarket Theatre has.en gaged Mr. BRAHAM for a limited number of nights; and we understand that he makes his first appear ance in the Opera of Guy Mannering, on Monday.

Lord Hut chinson voted in the Majority with the Earl of Liverpool. By order of his Royal Highness the COMMANDER.. tw-Cuizr, .* detachment of the Life Guards were stationed at Storey's Gate, St. James's Park, yester day morning, to escort his Grace the Duke of WEL caucrrotr, and other Peers, to the House, and protect them from a repetition f the ill treatment which they have repeatedly experienced from the populace. Extract of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, at Genoa, dated the 24th August:—" By a Sardinian vessel, arrived at the Lazaretto in the Gulf of Spozio, it is reported that the British and Sardinian Consuls had left Algiers on board a vessel, for Marseilles, bin we have notbeen able to learn the cause of their departure. This City continues to enjoy a perfect state of tranquillity.' On the afternoon of Saturday se'nnight, Mr. John Hannay, of Kirkcudbright, in company with two friends, left that town in a cart, with the intention of proceeding to Gatehouse. When within a mile of the latter place, the horse became exceedingly res tive and unmanageable, although the Gentleman al luded to at first apprehended no danger. In a few minutes, however, one of the shafts of the cart, upon which Mr. Hannay: feet happened to be placed, un fortunately gave way, by which accident he was thrown under one of the wheels, and so dreadfully bruised, that he died in the course of four hours. The startled hone now proceeded at full speed; but Mr. Hannay, notwithstanding, was speedily carried into a house, where he received the most humane at" tendons, both from the kind inmates and two Medi- , cal Gentlemen, who were immediately called. The other two Gentlemen escaped in a providential man ner ; one of them, however, had his arm dislocated by the overturning of the cart, and the other has to complain of a few bruises. Mr. Hannay has left a widow and six children to lament his loss. ENGLISH OPERA Housa.—An Opera, in three Acts, called the Baron de Trench, was performed last night at this Theatre, for the first time. The for tunes of that celebrated victim of despotism form the ground-work of the Piece, and the author in uniting him to a mistress, has terminated his Opera, after the established custom, by happiness and a marriage. The author found an able auxiliary in the composer of the music, which always discovers merit, and oc casionally considerable power. It is the work of Mr. REEVE. To the actors the author is still more deeply indebted, particularly to Miss KELLY, who sustained in her best manner the character of Lionel Schell, a boy attendant on the prison of Trench, and the chief instrument of his escape. Miss CAREW executed her songs, among which was a bravura of difficult exe cution, with great ability. HARLay was excellent in the Jailor: and T. P. Coons acted the Baron with much energy. BROADRUR3T and Miss LOVE were a couple of Savoyards, and the aid of some pretty characteristic airs, worked their way into the favour of the audience. The °pert was well received. GLASGOW, AUGUST O. On the night Of Friday the 2. sth, about a quarter past ten, a storm began at Port Monteith, of the west vivid lightning and loudest thunder recollected by any who withessed them. It was attended by a slight - earthquake, felt by the inhabitants in bed. About half a mile east, on the top of an eminence over which the public road passes, Mr. JOHN GRA.. KAM, tenant in•Thoilletnuck, and his horse, were • knocked down from the lower and south side" of the tread into the middle; and Mr. GRAHAM, when he recovered from the shock, found himself above his *hit; of which the girth had snapped. His head had, as he afterwards discovered by the flowing of the blood, sustained a curved wound of no greet depth, an inch and a quarter long. The horse bad preineded about ten yards, and stood close to a dyke OR the north side trembling. Mr. GRAHAM had seen himself and horse encompassed by a pate blue flame, ascending his breast with a rustling noise and a strong smell of sulphur. The flame continued upon him, and he was under the necessity of rolling him self in the mud to/extinguish it, which he at length effected. In the morning it was discovered that an oak, near the eastern verge of the domain of his Grace the Duke of Mowraoss, had been stench with the lightning, which had broken several of its upper branches, peeled off the bark on the north-east side, from top to root, the breadth of four or five inches on the average, and sunk into the soil, which it tore up and scattered.

In addition to the elegant alterations made in the vicinity of Carlton House, after opening the west end of King -street, St. Jame,s's, as a carnage way into St. James's-street, the obstriictions to a view into the Green Park are to be removed ; so that from the portico of the new Summer Theatre, about to be erecyed in the Haymarket, Constitution-hill will be &serf, and of course from that spot, the Theatre; a distance of half a mile. PALACE Comm.—Caution to Brokers.—Roberts V. Day.—This was an action brought by John Itobeits, of Windsor-place, City-road, plaintiff, against William Day, of the City-road, broker, defendant, to recover compensation for several articles of furniture, pur chased by defendant from plaintiff's wife without his consent, defendant knowing at the time she was a married woman. It appeared that the plaintiff and his wife had some falling out, and in the absence of her husband, and without his knowledge, she called in the defendant, and sold him a bureau and other articles of furniture, for which defendant paid her El 0 at the time, well knowing her husband was alive, and the difference that was between them. Defend ant contended that by law the wife could not rob her husband, and consequently that he was warranted to buy from the wife, and pay her as well as her Imo band. It was decided, that, as the wife did not carry on any separate business on her own account, her sale of the furniture was illegal, and that the purchaser was liable to a penalty of twenty pounds, together with the forfeiture of the ten pounds paid to the wife. MCRDER.—Wednesday last, J. Asher was commit ted to lisherton Jail, charged on an Inquest with wilfully murdering P. M'Key, at the Bull Inn, War minster, on Sunday afternoon, the 27th ult. The person charged with the murder is an old decrepid man, upwards of 74 years of'age, who travelled about the country vending nostrums, and the cause of the horrid deed appears to have been jealousy. Asher, it seems, had for some time cohabited with a woman of Wilton, named Sarah Lewis ; with this woman the deceased, who also travelled the country with table cloths, had latteily formed an acquaintance, by fre quently meeting her at different houses of resort for people of their employment. On Sunday afternoon, the old man, understanding that the woman and the deceased were sitting together on a bench in the back yard of the public-house where they lodged, armed himself with an old carving knife, which he sharpened for his horrid purpose, and, without speaking a word, inflicted three Mortal stabs on the object of his fury. M'Key languished till between eleven and twelve o'clock on Monday, and then expired. It is under stood that the deceased has left a wife and ten chil dren at Newry, in the north of Ireland. PROVIDENTIAL PREVENTION Oir MURDER AND BuaoLmtv.--Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, Mr. NORMAN, a builder, residing at Mark-place, Hag. gerstone, was alarmed by a noise at his back door; he instantly jumped out of bed, and on looking out of the window, he observed a man busily engaged in taking the hinges off the door. Mr. NORMANpru dently went out at the front door, and alarmed the family of Mr. Hoexow, for the purpose of detecting the thief in the fact, as he was fearful to encounter him alone. Mr. Hoavow, jun. furnished Mr. NOR• MAN with a cutlass, and both repaired to the house adjoining, which was uninhabited. The robber, on their approach, attempted to make his escape over the wall, where he was met by Mr. NORMAN, whom the villain attempted to stab with a sort of dirk.—. Mr. NORMAN happily warded off the blow and struck him with his cutlass on the wrist, by which the ruf. fian was disabled ; they grappled together, and both fell into the adjoining garden. The robber here made another attempt to stab Mr. NORMAN, threat ening that his confederates, who were at hand, would murder all that should oppose them. Mr. NestuAN was not to be intimidated, and held him till assist. mice came, and he was properly secured. He was yesterday brought before the Magistrate at Worship. street, where he was recognized to be a very old of. fender. He gave his name John Martin, and atter a short examination was committed. Mr, Notate* had recently sold several houses in the neighbour hood, and had the purchase-money in the house, and it is presumed this circumstance had come to the knowledge of the robber, who made such rAte,attempt to obtain it, •• latinA
