The folldwing is the account of the ceremony al luded to in yesterday's STAR: It is probable the manor of Sockburn was granted cut early to one of the Coniers for some valiant action, as the following ceremony denotes, which is perfornied at this day on the Bishop of Durham's first entrance into the county. The manor of Sockburn is held under the Bishop of Durham, by knight's service and the fol lowing ceremony :—At the first entrance of the Bishop, the Lord of Sockburn, or his agent, meets him in the middle of the river Tees, at Nesham, where the water is fordable (oiherwise on Croft Bridge), when he presents a falchion to the Bishop, as an emblem of his temporal power, and repeats the following words : uMy Lord Bishop, I here present you with the falchion, wherewith the Champion Conyers slew the worm, dragon, or fiery flying serpent, which destroyed man, woman, and child; in memory of which, the king then reigning gave him the manor of Sockburn, to hold by hi: tenure, that upon the first entrance of every Bishop into the county this falchion should be presented." The Bishop takes the falchion in his hand, and immedia'ely returns it to the person who presents it, wishing the L4d of Sockburn health, and a long enjoyment of the manor. In the ancient pedigree of the family of Coniers, it is set forth that " Sir John Conyers, knight, who slew the monstrous, venomous, and poysonous wyveron, ask, or worm, which overthrew and devoured many . , people in fight, and the scent of the poyson was so strong that no person might abide it, and bee, by p'vidence of Almighty God, overthrew it, and lyeth buried at Sockbtirne before the Conquest. But before he did enterprise, having but one childe, v ent to the church in complete armour, and offered up his sonne to the Holy Ghost, which monuments are yet to see. Also the place where the serpent lay is called theystones." How far the reader will give credit to this relation is not inquired of, but. certain it is the family was settled here about the time of the Conquest, and were Barons of the Palatine, for Roger Confers then held the tame i Conqueror, and was, by the made con stable of Durham ,Castle, and keeper of all the soldiers' arms therein : and.which office was settled on him and his heirs male for ever, by grant under the great seal of Wm. de Carilepho, Bishopof Durham. They continued • to hold the manor till issue male failing in Sir John Conyers, his daughter and heiress Anne niarried Francis Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, whose daughter and heiress married Stoner of Stoner, : in the county of Oxford, who sold Sockburn, with the manor of iiisliopton, to Sir Edward Blacket, in whose family those possessions still continue. S'r FRANCIS DURDETTiS stated in the Paris papers to have al rived in that capital. In the south of Ireland, there has been a decided im provement in the wheat crops during the . last three weeks. The barley and oats are both very indifferent. , .Several. fields of wheat are cut down in the county of Kilkenny. The grain is small, but very sound. About five o'clock yesterday afternoon, as,a number of. children were playing on the Tower Wharf, a fine boy about six years of age, the son -of an industrious woman residing near Iron-gate Stairs, fell over the ',wharf into the river, and was drowned. An Inquest was held at Newgate, on the body of James Webb, aged 63, w ho was committed three weeks since, on a charge of stealing a coat. Saturday, he complained to one of the prisoners of a dizziness in his Ae td. His companion asked him what it proceeded from, and he in reply answered, with an oath, he did MA know. At Chapel, on Sunday, while listening to the Service, he again complained, and fell senseless.— . • Mr. Boz's assistant bled him, but he died in a short time. .Verdict—" Died by the visitation of GOD." The Duke of MAIN It, while still a child, was one day very noisy at his play. The great Coxiig, who was in the same apartment, complained of IL " I wish to Goo, Sir," said the child, " I could make as much noise as you do." At Dulwich College are preserved some of BEN JOII• sns's Memoranda, which prove that he owed much of his inspisatii.n to good wine and the convivial hours he passed at the Devil, a tavern then situated in Fleet• street, near Temple-bar, on the site where Child's-place now stands. " Mem. I laid the plot of my' Volpnne,' and wrete most of it, after a present of ten dozen of palm sack from my very good Lord T—; that play, I am positive, will live to posterity, and be acted, when I and Envy be friends, With applause." " Mem. The first speech in my Catalina,' spoken by *files . Chast e was writ after I paned with my friend at the Devil Tavern. j had drank well that night, and had brave notions.

By a letter from the Agent of Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated the 29th .tune, it appears that the above private schooner had put Into that port on the 27th, having been chased by 'a Spanish ship of war. A day or two previous to her arrival came in the brig Madora del Carmen, from Cadiz, which brig had been captured by the schooner. = The Madona was bound from Cadiz, for Gibraltar, With salt and other goods; and some of the consignees of the brig having made a declaratiodon oath that the -salt was British property, and had been thrown Overboard by the captors, Captain Copeland, of the Mastiff, surveying vessel, ordered the Nimble cutter to take possession of the privateer and her prizes at their anchorage, which was immediately done. The priva-, teen was dismantled, and her papers sealed up ; and, as soon as the quarantine expires, an investigation is to take place- when some most unjustifiable acts are ex pected to Le brought to light. This is the same vessel that has boarded and plundered several other vessels behind the Rock as well as viithin the Straits • but, in order to protect the trade, should she bate any accomp lice, the Mastiff had been appointed to convoy the Lady Campbell to Cadiz. New hay is selling in the neighbourhood of Black burn at 6d. per stone. The hospital of the camp at St. Omer has been burnt, but fortunately 240 sick have been saved. A General Meeting of 'Merchants and Gentlemen interested in shipping, was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, to consider the present system of classing ships at Lloyd's; THOMAS Niru.soer, Esq. in the Chair. The Chairman having stated the object of the Meeting, Mr. LINDSAY said it was his wish that the objects of a former Meeting should be fully weighed and discussed, before they were finally adopte d. The Report had been sent to about thirty or forty out ports, but from only-i few bad answers been received up to the present time. This of itself was a substantial reason for postponing the present Meeting. Mr. Lind say concluded by proposing a resolution to this effect, which was put, and carried unanimously, AR was a vote of thanks to the Chairman. _ _ LINZN MANWPACTURIL— . An account has been print ed, by order of the Hone of Commons, of the quantity of fia‘hemp, and linen imported into the United King dom, and of the quantity of linen cloth exported from it to all parts of the world; together with the real and official value of the latter, and the amount of bounty paid on its manufacture in the year ended the sth of January last. The quantity of hemp imported amounted to 595,090 quarters, the value of which was 503,4151. Neatly the whole of this quantity—namely, 561,954, quarters came from Russia. The quantity of flax, dressed and undressed, amounted to 1,042,956 quarters, the official value of which was 2,092,7681. More than the half of this amount, or 656,772 quarters, was im por: ed from Russia. Thy number of yards of linen cloth exported to all parts of the world was 52,080,184, of which 35,993,038 yards were of British, and 16,087,146 were of Irish manufacture. The whole of this immense export, however, took place from Great Britain alone, with the exception of about 2,500,000 yards. The official value of these exports was 2,676,2951. But though Ireland doei not export to foreign countries, the quantity of linen imported into England and Scot land amounted to 52,560,926 yards, and the value is est im a ted, at 2,893 0181. The Irish linen, therefore, im; orted into Great Britain, and retained for borne con sumption, after deducting the quantity re-exported, amounted to upwards of 36,000,000 of yards. The bounty paid on British and Irish linen. exported. amounted to within .a trifle of 300,0001. A venerable American Judge relates the following revolutionary anecdote :—" The morning following the battle of York Town, I had the curiosity to attend the. dressing of the wounded; and among others, whose limbs were so much injured as to require amputation, was a musician, who had received a musket-ball in his knee. As was usual in such cases, preparations were. made to lash him down to the table, to prevent the pos sibility of his moving. Says the sufferer, Now, Doctor, o bat would you be at ?' 6 My lad, I'm going to' take off your leg, and 'tis necessary you should be lashed d owa ;— , I shall consent to no such thing; you may pluck my hearlfrom my bosom, but you'll not confine me. Is there a fiddle in the tent ? If so, bring it to me. - A violin was furnished, and, after tuning it, he said, s Now, Doctor, begin ;' and he continued to play until the operation, which took about forty minutes, was completed, without missing a note, or moving a muscle."

Extract of a letter from Captain John Quick, of the schooner Tantivy, to his owners, Messrs. Fox, Sons, and. Co. Plymouth, dated Smyrna, June 2 :—"As Mr. Hayes wrote you on the 19th ult. informing you of my arrival, I did not write, but Waited until this post, when I beg to give you an account of the Tantivy having been plun dered on the 15th ult. on the passage from Messina to this, in a calm, off the north - end of Zea, by two armed rneistrias, which are a kind of latteen-rigged vessels; with a square topsail forward, and with from twenty to thirty men in each:. and two others of larger size lay on their oars close alongside, and ready to receive the cargo, if any suitable, with about sixty men in each.— They used no violence, but plundered the vessel of tar, varnish, paints, brushes, buckets, water casks, trumpet, deep sea line, knives and forks, spoons, bread, fish, cor dage, and a variety of small articles ; I judge the loss about 101. or 121. They likewise broke open the seamen's 'chests, and took part of their clothes ; my private loss was trifling . ; one of them took the watch out-of my , pocket, but from threatening he gave it me back again. We fared much better than our neighbours. After they put off, three other larger ones came off from the shore, but the breeze springing up, we made our escape.— There are now five English vessels in the bay, which have been plundered to a considerable extent, of cargo, stores, clothes, am the brig Iris, from Liverpool, the day before me (I have no doubt by the same gang), of forty-seven packages, to the amount, with stoles, of 5,0001. and two other masters and sailors of everything ; one of the,masters of even the trousers he had on him; and on their arrival he was under the necessity of wait ing for clothes to be made before he could go on shore. On my arrival, I made my report to the Commodore, Captain Hamilton, who took down every particular, and sent an Officer from each of the , ships in port to examine log and crew, but he seems to say he can do nothing, as having no orders ; but he now senda convoy with the merchant vessels up and down the Archipe lago, as far as he is able, but he has not ships enough. Since I have been writing, the brig Helen has arrived from London, plundered of great part of her cargo— they say to the amount of 20,0001." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Miss Harriet Barnes, a dashing young female, was charged with attempting to carry into the Debtors' Prison, Whiteeross street, above a gallon of gin and rum. She was 'topped at the lodge gate, and the spirits were found in a basket she carried in her hand. A solicitor stated, that her beer had been un(ortunately thrown into the gaol just as he was about to marry her, and at her second visit he had requested her to : bring in the liquor; she declined, but he continued to urge, and she to refuse, till they came to a downright quarrel; and it was under a threat t hat he would cut her acquaint. ance altogether, if she would not oblige him, that she at length assented. Mr. Alderman Avxws said, he could not surely be expected to believe this pretty love tile. If rigour was ever necessary to re press the introduction of spirits into the prison, it was now, when instead of dejection meeting the eye within the walls, there was revelry, tvmult, and viciousness. He sentenced fair Harriet, in default of paying a fine of 101. to six weeks' hard labour. BOW-STREET. Doctor Bally, and Miss Elisabeth, his daughter, aged 18, were charged with assaulting Ellen Healey, their maid f ail-work. The complainant, it seems, went to see her mother, who was ill, with out asking leave, and on her return she found Miss Eady busy cooking the dimmer; she had spoiled the fish, and in taking them op, they dropped in pieces about the kitchen floor. Ellen was anxious to assist in taking up, the rest of the dinner, but Miss Ell• ninth called.her a good-for-nothing honey, and struck her in the breast repeatedly; and the Doctor himself came down and shook ' bet violently, and threatened to kick her out, if the did not leave the house quietly. The complainant called -as evenness the Doctor's man -servant, a strauge-looking lipre, from whom everybody in stinctively shrunk back as be approached, but be swore that no blew or shaking took place. Mr. HALLS said, where such conflicting testimony bad been ad duced, he could not bold the parties to bail, but Ellen might, no. vertheless, go to the Sessions and indict if she thought fit. A mechanic charged one of the privates in the Foot Guards with thrusting his bayonet into the side of his right eye, is the yard of St. James's Palace. The complainant said, that he was amongst the crowd in front of St. James's Palace, to hear the band play, and the prisoner and another private, who were on duty at the gate, prevented the crowd from entering as they had been allowed many years. He kept back till the sentinels went to their posts, when some of the people were admitted, and he was forced in by the crowd pressing behind him. The prisoner came up from his box, and presented his musket, and thrust the point of the bayonet into the side of his (witness's) head near the eye; be (the sentinel) then burst into a fit of laughter, and exclaimed ," you have got it : I have given you a poke in the eye." It was done wilfully. A witness was called, who corroborated the above statement. The prisoner, in his defence, said that be had received orders from his serjeant not to admit any one into the Palace yard ; that be tried to keep the crowd back, and in doing so he accidentally scratched the face of the complainant. Complainant—Scratched ! Why it entered half an inch, and the surgeon, in St. James's-street, ordered me to-bed. You laughed, and said " you bad poked my eye out." Soldier—l said no such thing; you would net go back, and I was obliged to use force. If I bad let you in, I should have been pu nished for disobeying orders. The sentinel who was on duty with the prisoner, said, that the crowd thrust in, and they were obliged to use their muskets to keep the crowd out. He was sure that his comrade did not thrust bit bayonet into the complainant's eye wilfully, He admitted that his comrade laughed, and said, " You ought to be glad that I did not poke your eye out." The Sergeant of the Guard was examined by Mr. Haus, and be said, that Colonel Freemantle had given orders that no person should be admitted into the Palace-yard that morning. Mr. HALLS said that be should dismiss the case. The soldier had acted properly in discharge of the orders he had received from his superior Officer and the complainant had no right to thrust himself into the Palace-yard, when be was told that he could not be admitted. Soldiers were but men; and he was often surprised that they acted with so much temper, subjected, as they often were, to gross insult. In this case, if the soldier had not obeyed his Officer's orders, he would have been punished; end; for obeying them, he (the Magistrate) was called upon to send him to prison; but he should do no such thing. The soldier had acted in confor mity with his orders ; and, if any one had acted wrong, it was the complainant himself. The soldier was discharged. A charge was heard in the private room, of a young Gentleman, whose intellects were impaired, having attempted to murder his father, by stabbing him with a dirk, which he had bought for that purpose. • It was proved by the evidence of a great number of wit. noises that the young man was deranged ; and certificates of surgeons to that effect, as required by Act of Parliament, being produced, he was conveyed to a Lunatic Asylum. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Many a mirthful son is brought to the °nice from one of the five pariah watch-houses in the district far a " lark" or a "row," the treat of which is far superior to seeing Liston three nights running is three of his most farcical entertainments, and not more expensive. The price of a lantern is but eighteen pence, after kicking it all up the street and round the corner; the damage done to the hat of a watchman, after breaking it to shatters, is never more than two shillings ; breaking his stick or throwing it down the area of an empty house was never known to be charged anything fur; and as for cutting his head or darkening his eye, why, before you go into the Magistrate, tell the Charley you'll make it up. That what he wants. Ile knows what to say—you say nothing, " yer Wordily," says he, " the jon•leman is very sorry ; he is wilting to pay for my lantern, pine yer Worchip." " Well," says the Ma gistrate, " you may go out and settle. it." This is done in high style, at five shillings a head ; very often a cracked crown produces hut half a crown ; but then you must have the money ready. If you are fined Ss. for being drunk, you have only to have the mone) ready, and any name will do. in St. Ann's charge-book yenta relay mottling, was an entry et " A man who refuses his name, for iLterrupting the watchman in his duty. Signed I'at. Durgati." What's your name ? salt! Mr. So& Prisoner—John Wilson. What .was-he doing? said Mr. Ron, . . Watchman—Yer Wor. hip, about one o'clock this morning that gondemen was on my bate, where some girls of the VW?! Were making a dishturbance, in Cranbourne.street, avid becase I saki him to go on and not be braaking the King's pee there, he drained a round ring on the pavement, with the toe of his boot, and tes!ht one to move !Am out of it, if I dar. Now, says 1, thy good mans can't ye take a good word and go away? With that. Ter Worship, he got mighty hopstropolls, so I tuk him to the watches. The prisoner explained how the thing was...argued the point with the Magistrate, and defended the liberty of the subject. Re saw that man.(pointing to the watchman) driving on some young ladles in a very uncivil way, and remonstrated with him, on which the .watchman threatened to take him to the watch house. But kaatt. ing, as he had dune nothing, he had no right to remove him, he so. fused to go. Mr. Rot—Tl the . ;riichman has not the right to remove every person loitering in the streets at nigh:, how are the inhabitants te be secured against thieves? It is at my option to fine you 51. If you are convinced of your error, I shall only fine you five shilling% The prisoner acknowledged he was wrong, but pleaded the ahA senceof the needful to comply with the Magistratel k n it}. He was ordered to be taken backviards, and to lend fur the fire shillings. In the' course of the morning a Gentliinan tendered a note to the Magistrate, requesting a friend's aittndance to pay the fine. MARY-LA-BONNE. Catherine Harley, a young woman of delicate appearance, was charged with having attempted to rob the house of Lord Howard of Effingham, in Mansfield-street, Portland-place. Edward Notley, footman to rd Howard of Effingham, statett, that he was going into the housekeeper's room, and not se:ing the housekeeper, was returning, when be perceived the prisoner behind the door. Witness instantly took hold of her, when she dropped three large damask tattle cloths, five napkins, and a gown and *prom belonging to the housekeeper. Tit; prisoner was fully committed. Mr. RAWLIKIO74I.-It is extremely Mproper the stea pte of dift. tlemen's houses should be left open. Since I bave sax here not less than fifty robberies have been committed in that manner. I should therefore recommend that the area gates of the Nobility, &c. should be always secured. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday two sisters, named Matilda and Swath 114 k, who ap. peared to be quite novices in crime, were put to the bar on a charge of s►op-lifting, in the shop of Mr. Bedmead, a unman and jewel. ler, in Hereford.place, Commercial-road. In substantiation of the charge, Mrs. Bellowed stated that the prisoners came into her shop about twelve o'clock on that day, and asked to look at some necklaces; she chewed them some, one of which the prisoner Matilda bought. The ether prisoner, Sarah. asked for some gold rings, abd she drew out theXray and thawed her some, three of which she laid bold of and tried 04, and observed that they did not fit her, on which witness said that one of those in her hand would ; she then opened her hand, bet there were only two in it. Something had dropped.just before, and withess asked if it was the ring? The prisoner replied it was not, on which the taxed them with having it. They both denied the fact, but perceiving the prisoner Matilda faketing in her speech, she asked her the rea son, and she produced from her mouth a piece of papet on which the ring had been. An officer was sent for, who, on searching their persons, found the ring in the prisoner Matilda's mouth. Seagrove, the officer, deposed as to finding the ring; and the prisoners declining to offer any defence, were committed to New. gate. Neither of them were above sixteen years of age, and, bay. lag neither father nor mother, appear to have been driven to the act by necessity. Two ragged ruffians, named 4yres and Grfaht, welt Charged with a highway robbery. Mr. Sullivan, of the ; East India House. In passing at the back of the Landon Hospital. was accosted by a woman, Istho invited him to her lodgings, which he declined ; when site insisted on some money; and the prisoners came up, knocked him down, and threatened to cut his.throat ; he, however, extricated himself, when the prisoners tan off with his basket, containing cut glass, value 251. but were afterwards apprehended.—They made no defence, and were fully committed. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, a female named Elisabeth Ammer, rather advanced In years, and dressed in the most fantastic style, was brought up ro this °dice in custody, before the sitting Magistrate, Al. Swastr, Esq. on a charge of assaulting Mr. llextall, a grocer, raiding in Bermondsey, whose scratched physiognomy bore ample proof of the violence of the attack. The complainant in person resembles Prince Leopolt: And the poor woman, wbo is evidently insane, labours under the delusion that the worthy shopkeeper is actually the Prince : and in Vise of all appearances to the contrary, persists in molesting and somedinet assaulting him, because he will not comply with her various do wands for his interest and influence. _ _ _ The Magistrate seeing the.. real nature of the ease, ordered the woman to be carried to the parish asylum for lunatic& Sunday, Mr. Lord, of Wigan, who has for many years filled the situation of crier at the Quarter Sessions in Lancashire, having gone to Lancaster for th, purpose of attending his official duties at the Sessions on the lila lowing day, went to bed about ten o'clock, slightly in. disposed. He had not, however, long retired before he was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and died immediately. Tuesday, as a young Gentlanaan and a Lady were proceeding in a gig along Hackney-road, the horse took fright at a Punch and Judy Show, and ran off at a fu• rious pace till stopped by a broken-Jown cart, which lay on the road-side ; when the gig was shattered to pieces, and the young couple sevtrely injured by the fall. They were conducted to the house of a Gentlem4n on the read-side, and medical assistance pro: ured. The singular beauty of the Hungarian women is the theme of every traveller's admiration. The town of Pest is peculiarly remarkable in this respect, the pro portion of handsome females being greater than in any part of the empire, and the elegance and taste of their dress superior even to these of Vienna. According to the old Indian laws, which are still .in force in some parts of Hindostan, a suit for debt, when the debtor was absolutely unable to make payment, was put a stop to for some years, during which the creditor had no claim upon the debtor, in order to give the tat• ter time to acquire the means of discharging what he owed by the exercise of his calling. It he would not accept these conditions, he was condemned to the Tukazza. Literally, this avant nothing else than dun ning ; but as soon as a Court of Justice ptonouhced to that effect, the creditor had a right to harass him ;a every sort of way. He could not only assault his per son, but even appoint a person to watch him, to t'revent him from eating his food, to tie a rope about hti neck and feet, and to compel him to stand upon onelek, with a heavy stone upon his h!ad, under the mid . •day sun. Monday night, as an elderly m m and hid wife were crossing near Shoreditch Church, they iveri titis over by a stage-coach, and s s dreadfully hurt; the iiisbaad particularly, that they were taken to the Hcriphal: The fair equestrian Lady, J. P. in thi rideon Sunday, called Colonel T-.—to shorten her rein. " However Short I may make it," replied the wh , ti and gallant Colonel, " your Ladyship stirs will always be long. BIRTHS.
