The Cricket Match is still the general topic of conversation, and though the County men were beaten in their third effort, yet hav ing conquered their opponents at Sheffield and Maryliaorroe, the confsdeoce of their friends aod principal backer, Lord Freda... ' rich, is not lessened, and another match will doebtkst be mode. The concourse of people on the ground was immense. The best criterion of their numbers is the fact of between £230 and £3OO having been taken at the doors in sixpences for admission. The short visit paid by the King, created hopes amongst the most sanguine, that his Majesty would grace our races with kis presence, but such hopes have turned out to be delusive. His Majesty however, has, with his usual kind consideration, given a splendid Gold Cap, which will be run for to-morrow. A vast number of the Nobility are here, and carriages and four are coming every boor. Amongst the most distinguished -arrivals• yesterday and to-day are—The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke and Duchess of Argyle and family, Earl and Countess of Mountcharles, Earl and Countess of Errol, Earl of Uxbridge, Lord Andover, Count De Drous Count Mountroond, Ice. &c.

This he body of men never appeared to more advantage, and drew forth the most unqusilied approbation of the reviewing Olken, by the steadiness with which they went through a variety of inanemeres, and by the excellent order of their clothing and appointments. A number of Ladies graced the ground by their presence. A numerous patty, cansisting of the Yeomen and their friends, afterwards eat down to a sumptuous dinner in the County Hall.

The unfortunate Clehtleman was immediately moved to an inn at Fairford, and medical attendance procured for him, but all human aid proved hopeless, and he expired soon after the occurrence of the melancholy catastrophe taking place. COMMIS I M I N ( ' 7)1 31 ? LUNACY. Yesterday a Commission was held at the Gray's lnn, Coffee-house, foe the purpose of inquiring wheiber Mrs.l Marianne Martin, widow of Martin, Esq-'OE White-, hall-place, Westminster, was of unsound mini: — An extraordinary experiment was tried with respect to the unfortunate person who was the subject of the com mission. She was brought into the room where her deceased husband lay in his coffin, for the purpose of ascertaining what effect the shock (if any shock should take place) might have upon her mind. The Commissioners were Messrs. EVANCB, and PHILLIMOIII. Mr. Twin stated, that Mrs. Martin was the daughter MI a Gentleman of fortune, of the name of Seville, who resided at Canterbury. From her early days she had been weak its her intellects, but not by any means as imbecile as she now was. Two months after her father's death she eloped with Mr. Martin, and married him at Gretna Green. He settled the whole of her property, amounting to about 10,000: or 12,0001. upon her, and it was for the Jury to say whether she was capable of managing her own affairs, and from what period (if she was from any), competent. The witnesses who were examined proved, that, from 1823, Mrs. Martin had been unable to conduct the affairs of her house; that she was exceedingly fond of dress, and when the key was left in the drawers, would wear those not adapted for the season. She was, how ever, lively and good humoured, spoke of balls and dances, and of her marriage with Mr. Martin. She was also in the habit of looking out of the window in her night clothes; of hiding glasses, cloths, candles, and other insignificant articles, among her clothes, and would throw an immense quantity of coals on the ire, to the danger of burning the house. If she took up a newspaper, she would read it without minding the limits of the column, then start of upon the subject of the boarding-school in which she had been educated, and appear to be wholly unconscious of what she bad n reading ; she used to call her cook aunt and grand mother. The the witnesses, for the purpose of discovering what had been the conduct of Mr. Martin towards his unfortunate wife. They stated, that she was treated by all the house as a mere child; that Mr. Martin never went to see her or to converse with her; and he used to say, if he met her oa the stairs, She* this woman into her own room."— la fact, he acted to her as though he had no re• gard for her, and he always spoke of her as a per son of weak mind. She, however, never shewed that she felt this treatment. When new things were brought to her, she delighted in them. and upon some occasions she used to point to her wedding dress. and say,' Ah, I remember when I ran away to Gretna' Green." She would then laugh incessantly; she ap peared to be very fond of Mr. Martin, and used to say, 4 . Martin, with all thy faults, I love thee well.' They bad been seen together, but no affection had been ma nifested upon the part of Mr. Martin. She once said that he was very rough to her, but she never com plained that he treated her as a child. The medical Gentlemen wbo were examined were of opinion that she was of unsound mind, and unable to take care of herself. They added, that when she was informed her husband was ill and likely to die, she only replied, " Oh, I shall soon follow him." When she was conducted into the room where he was laid out, sur rounded by all the paraphernalia of death, she fainted. Mrs. Martin was then conducted into the room. She entered with a smile; she spoke for some minutes very rationally; but her general demeanour confirmed the account given by the witnesses. The Jury then found, that she had been insane since 182$, and was incapable of managin her affairs. Twenty-five millions and upwards 'of newspapers were published in 1826 in England and Wales, and upwards of 1,200,000 in Scotland. A patent has been taken out in America for making gas from iron, which gives as vivid a light as that froM coal, and is much cheaper. cleaner, and less noisome. DREADFUL AOClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon about one o'clock, a shocking accident. occurred to the infant child of Mrs. D iley, who limes in Orchard-street,West minster, by its clothes catching fire when playing with a lighted candle. It appeared that the mother of the infant (a fine female child, about two years of age), left it in a room with another child about two years older, and locked them in while she went out on some errand. Oa her return in about ten minutes, she heard the most 'dreadful screams issue from the room, and on opening the door she found her youngest child, Hannah, enve lopedin flames. She instantly caught her in her arms, and rushed down stairs into the streft, the child all the time L - Irwrlna In her arms in this state, and from her distracted ap pearance, the poor woman scarcely knowing what she was about, snatched the child from her, and carried the little sufferer to the Westminster Hospital, when it was promptly attended to by the surgeons. The poor child is completely burnt from head to foot, and its features scarcely perceptible: its sufferings are of the most agonizing description, and without the slightest hope of its recovery. ACCIDENT ON THE THAllil.—Sunday evening, be. tween :ix and seven o'clock, an accident which had nearly proved fatal to several Individuals, occurred a little below Battersea-bridge. A boat, containing siz persons, among whom were two young females, by some unfortunate accident upset, and the whole party were precipitated into the water. Happily at the time the occurrchce took place, there were a vast quantity of boats in the vicinity, all of whom instantly rowed to the spot where the boat had capsized. By this timely assistance, five of the six persons struggling in the water ' were picked up : the.other, or.e of the females. sunk to rise no more. The most praiseworthy thanks were due to several young men who dived repeatedly in hope of !etching up the body of the poor girl, but in vain. The accident originated in - the mismanagement of a imall sail which was attached to the boat. The name' of the. unfortunate young woman drowned is Mitrtha eowell, aged 16 pears, the daughter of respectablepeople in the New Cut. LAW l NTELIGENCE. • • 'l4 • a l Wei COURT OF CamgcßßY, Jinx sot , io• hit:NC/ACT V. Man AND OTHARS. Re The whole of the day was occupied with the otos ments of Counsel in this case. The rim appeased td be shortly theses Mr. Montagu, many years since, having occasion to borrow money, applied to a poison of the name of Peter Hill, and gave him two bonds for 2,0001. and other securities, for a loan of cash. Sub. sequently, Mr. Montag being desirous of withdrawing the bonds and the otherisecurities, executed a bond for 5,0001. to cover the whole amount borrowed. This was giVen into the hands of Mr. Hill, and, by some mistake. the bonds for 2,0001. were never given up. Mr. Hill afterwards assigned the bonds to Mr. Prit chard, upon whose death the present defendant became his Executor. An action was brought by Mr. Smith to recover the amount of the bonds, and the plaintiff filed his bill for an account, and for an injunction to restrain proceedings at law. The injunction was pb. 'Wired. and afterwards dissulved by the Vice•Chancele lor. The object of the present motion was to revive that injunction. • Mr. SLAM/JILL and a Junior Counsel were heard on the part of tire plaintiff; aril Mr. Roam and Mr. fins- ICINSON for the defendant. The arguments went not concluded at the rising of the Court. • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. Vt*CHRSTER. JULT wr. Two men, named George and Ashdown, were too. victed of a robbery under dab following circumstances! —A poor old couple, the min being 83, and the woman 82, of the name of Frost. were employed at one of the toll•gates, in the Isle of Wight, to receive the tolls, and, consequently, lived by themselves in the , toll-house.-- One very wet blowing 'tight, the old man wai awakened from his sleep by somebody calling, "Gate I s on which be slipped out of bed, and unlocked the door, for the rpose of letting the travellers, as he supposed, th rough the turnpike. No sooner was the key turned. and even before he could lift the latch, than George rushed in, and beat the poar creatures to the ground : they then proceeded to ransack the place, making themselves masters of four sovereigns, two half sovereigns, seyeral liver spoons, a silver watch, gird other articles, con itituting all the worldly riches of the poor creatures. Finding a drawer locked, George insisted on having the key of it ; and on this the old man, making a com plaint of the (age he was receiving. George seized on a clasp knife, and swore with imprecations that be would cut him to pieces if he did not keep quiet, and following up these threats with actions, he struck thr old man's head violently against the will, and subse quently severely bruised him with a cudgel that hefted brought into the cottage with him, so that the day after. when the poor fellow went before .the Magistrate. Ms arm was completely black and blue from the shoulder to the wrist. Having taken all that they considered worth having, the men departed; but immediate put suit being made, they were overtaken on the following morning, when the old man's watch was found on the person of George, together with a couple of sovereigns, and on Ashdown was found one sovereign. The prisoner s did not make any defence; and the Jury, satisfied with the testimony of the old couple, who swore positively to the persons of the men, though they had previously been unacquainted with them, returned a verdict of Guilty. The testimony of the old Lady, with respect to the identity of the prisoners, was given with a precision and exactness that excited sorprite. when her very advanced age was considered. She underwent a very close cross-examination on this point, from the Counsel for the prisoners, but she was not at all to be shaken, She said, that at first she thought the men were merely joking with them, to frighten them, and that she felt no alarm on the subject at all, considering that her husband, in the first instance, had only fallen down from the suddenness with which they opened the door. But when they perceived her in bed, and threat ened to murder her if she stirred hand or foot, and more especially when George drew the knife upon her help mate, she became alarmed ; sufficient time, however, bad previously elapsed, to make her acquainted with the persons of the prisoners, of which she had a thorough view, as they wete always in the habit of burniqg a light in the toll-house throughout the night.—TheJoty having returned their verdict, u :.,~ The - Jut:Qs put on the black cap, and commented at considerable length on the cruelty which the prisoners had added to their crime of robbing the poet oldtoople of almost all they had in the world. He earnestly ad vised dram to prepare for the worst, fbr he could not hold out to them the slightest• shadow of mercy, and that, in all probability, their days on this side of the grave would be but few. Their crime was of such • a nature, that it was almost impossible not to let the full severity of the law be •isited upon them. The Assists ended this morning at nine o'clock, and the Judges proceeded to Salisbury. OXFORD CIRCUIT, Jinx IL TNt MAYOR AND CORPORATION OP Otlollll V.
