MICHAEL KELLY.—We regret to announce the death Of this popular composer, which took place on Monday Morning, at Margate, where Mr. Kelly had been resid ing some time on account of his health. He had been for years a martyr to the gout, which had reduced him to the state of a cripple, and unable to move himself; but, amid all his bodily sufferings, the cheerfulness of his temper, and the hilarity of his conversation, remained uo:oterrupted. In private life he was justly and uni versally esteemed as a kind friend, an agreeable com panion, and a liberal host. Few men had seen more of the world, or had mingled in a larger circle of public characters, from the palace to the green-room ; and his stores of anecdote, thus accumulated, rendered him a welcome guest in every society. In his Reminiscences, published about a year ago, many of these anecdotes were embodied; but he had still enough remaining to enliven the social board. As .a musician, many of his compositions acquired, and retain, well-merited popula vity. He was in his 64th year. CA RLSRUH Ocr. I.—Very remarkable antique graves, 137 in number, have been discovered on the mountain Schoenberg, near Freiburg, in the Brisgau. Sculls, ornaments, daggers, spears, swords, &c. of a very ancient nature, hare been found in them. The ar rows and spears are of iron; the swords, half iron half steel ; the daggers of the finest steel, which resists the file. The most remarkable, however, is the coloured glass, which is frequently set in silver, especially a sky- 1 blue, such as, perhaps, was never before seen. There , are aha red and purple beads, and large pieces of amber. All graves are turned towards the •bast. It is estimated that these burying-grounds contain 500 tombs, formed of large flat stones. AWFUL Dears.—While the Rev. Mr. Brandon was preaching on Sunday last, in Finnar Church, near Bun doran, and just as he had uttered the words, is Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall," he was observed to sink down in the pulpit, and in an instant he was dead! Mr. Nathaniel Everett, of Crockerton, near War in nster, Wilts, failed as a clothier in the year 1815, paying about ss. in the pound, and died shortly after, leaving a widow, two sons, and a daughter. Very re cently, a Captain Chivers, of Clapham, the widow's brother, died, and left the eldest son 8,0001., the second son 6,0001., and 6,0001. to the daughter . - the interest of the latter to be paid the mother during her life: the two sons have paid their father's debts in full, leaving them selves only a few hundred pounds. The counterpane which covered the bed of Crum= I. the nighr before his execution, and which is made of a very rich thick blue satin, embroidered with gold and silver, in a deep border, Las continued to be used by the famiiy of Quagmires, of Orchard- Irish, near Frame, Somerset, as a christening mantle, from the period it came into their ossession, by marriage wkh the sole heiress of the CIIIANDIAILS, of Came* Hall, near Farebam, in Hamp shire, a family connected with CROULMILLI. The sword.bek of the unfortunate King is likewise at Orchardleigh Home. The horses of Holstein excel in beauty, speed, and strength all others. They are generally of a dark glossy bay colour, with small heads, large nostrils, and full dark eyes, the fire and clearness of which seem to denote the inward spirit of the animal. They are sent in great numbers to Prussia, Germany, and France; and formed, during the late war, the elite of Booopeaves cavalry. There is another race of horses in Jutland, of equal strength, but of less beauty; niany of which are sent to this country. CORONER'S INQUESTS. INQUEST ON MR. CONNOR. Yesterday evening an Inquest was held at the Turf Tap, in Tattersall's Yard, Upper Grosvenor place, be fore Thomas Higgs, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Charles Connor, Esq. Comedian, one of the performers belonging to Covent•garden Theatre. The jury...room was crowded to excess, and several theatrical Gentlemen were present during the investi gation. After the body had been viewed, the following evidence was adduced: Silas Sharpe resides at Old Brompton ; did not know the deceased ; he was in the middle of the road in Hyde park on Saturday night, about twenty yards from the deceased. Witness saw him drop down, and instantly went to his assistance, but before he got to the spot he gave a groan. Witness felt his pulse, but all pulsation had ceased. A female present screamed out, and other persons coming up, he was instantly carried to St. George's Hospital. The deceased fell within fifteen yards of the gate, on his back, in the middle of the road. In witness's oFinion he died instantly. No per son had struck the deceased, or forced him down. It occurred about twenty-five minutes before nine o'elock in the evening. Mr. Henry Russell, house surgeon of St. George's Hospital, said, that about nine o'clock the deceased Gentleman was brought in; he examined him immedi ately, and found he was quite dead. On examination of the body, he had no doubt that his death was occa sioned by the bursting of an aneurism of a vessel lead ing to the heart. The Jury, upon this evidence, were perfectly satis fied, and, without hesitation, returned a verdict, that the deceased Gentleman died a natural death, by the visitation of Gov. The deceased was 37 years of age, and has left a wife and two children. A professional Gentleman attended, and put several questions for the purpose of 'hewing that the deceased was sober at the time, and stated that he was a man of most regular habits. The deceased was generally respected by his theatri cal brethren and private friends; and, a short time prior to his death, conversed with many of them in his usual spirits, and appeared to enjoy his health. His line of business in his profession was Irishmen; but he, on the whole, was an useful petformer, and his loss will be felt, as he was the only supporter of such characters since the resignation of the inimitable Jack Johnstone. The last time he performed was on Monday week, when he went through the character of Thddy O'Rourke in the Irish Tutor, with his usual humour and ability. The melancholy event has involved a wife and family in the utmost affliction. The Coroner, after the delivery of the verdict, prevented his warrant to Mr. Egerton, the actor, for the removal and interment of the body. ADJOURNED INQUEST AT MANCHE.STERt Monday morning an Inquest was held, at the Lamb public-house, in Toad Lane, Manchester, on the body of Alice Attlebury, a woman of the town, who died early on Sunday morning, in consequence of having been most brutally ill-treated by six men in the street. The first witness, Mary Whit iker, stated, that she was the wife of the man who keeps the tap room attached to the Ordnance Arms public-house, in Hanging-ditch; that the deceased on Saturday night was in the tap room in company with six boatmen, who appeared to be using her roughly. They all seemed to be a little in liquor, but were not drunk ; they left the tap room about half-past eleven o'clock. The men then went into the Ordnance Arms and had some beer, but the de ceased went into the street, and witness did not see her again until after she was dead. Witness thought she should know the men again if she saw them. Mr. Lavender said, there were six boatmen in custody, and she would have an opportunity of seeing them. In a short time they were brought into an adjoining room, and the witness instantly identified them as the men wbo were in company with the deceased on Saturday night. Several other witnesses were examined, among whom was Elizabeth Clarke, who deposed that her mother keeps the Durham Ox, where the boatmen had been drinking. That about half an hour after they went away, she opened the door and looked out, when she heard a woman scream faintly under a hovel opposite the Lamb, which is about thirty yards from the Dur ham Oz; immediately afterwards six men came out of the hovel, two of them dragging a woonxt by the feet, and dragged her down the street some distance, and, as she thought,was striking and kicking her as she lay upon the ground ; four of them appeared to strike her with their fists, and two to kick her ; after they left her lying in die street, then came past her whilst she was standing at the door ; she asked them what they had been doing to that woman? when they all ran away. At first the witness durst not leave the door, but in a moment or two, a soldier, and Mr. Williams, landlord of the Lamb, went to the place what the woman lay, arid they carried her away. Henri Mapleson, a private in the Grenadier Guards, deposed, that be was going to bed at the Lamb, where he was quartered, a few minutes past one o'clock on Sunday morning, when he heard a noise in the street, which attracted his notice ; and on opening the window he saw four or five men dragging a woman along the street by the legs; he called out from the window, but they made no reply ; he saw them leave her in the street, and run away. He went down stairs to the landlord, and told him what be had seen, and begged of him to go with him; at first the landlord refused, observing that it was, he supposed, only a drunken frolic. At last the landlord accompanied him to the spot, when they found the deceased with her clothes over her head ; she did not speak, and there was a rattling noise in her throat, as if she was choking. They raised her up, and curled her into the shed oppo site, thinking she was dead drunk. A surgeon was sent for, but she was kept in the shed for some time be fore he came, she was then carried into the house and died in a few minutes afterwards. Mr. Williams, the landlord, corroborated the evi dence of the last witness, so far as he had an opportu nity of seeing. Mr. Lavender said, that he thought Mr. Williams had shewn very little humanity in having the deceased for two hours in a cold shed, instead of taking her into his house. Mr. Williams said he certainly should have taken her into his house immediately if he had known the condi tion she was in, but he thought her only drunk. He did all he could to procure a surgeon. Mr. Henry Oilier, surgeon, said that he examined the body of the deceased, and found a braised wound on the right temple, and another on the right side of her neck. Under the bruise on the temple there was an extravasation of blood beneath the scalp ; and, on opening the head, he found a very copious effusion of blood on the substance of the brain, and bad no doubt 'but these appearances bad been produced by some ex- I.ernal violence, either a blow or a fall, and that violence', had caused her death. • This being all the evidence adduced, the room was cleared for a few minutes, when it was announced that the Inquest was adjourned to Thursday next, in the hope that some further evidence might be obtained.— The prisoners in the mean time remain in custody. INQUEST AT BIRMINGHAM. A few days ago an Inquest was held at Birmingham, on the body of a woman of the name of Timpson, who was murdered by her husband. The first witness examined was Gideon Taylor, who said: I am a police officer of Birmingham, and during the last week I have resided at the prison in Moor street. Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, the pri soner came into the room of the prison called the chair. room. He said,l am your prisoner. I said, what for ? He said for murder. I asked him whom he had murdered ? He said, his wife. I asked him how he had murdered her? —He said, he had cut her throat. I asked what he had cut it with ? He said with a case-kaite. I asked him where the knife was, and searched him. I found no knife. He said it was in the house. Its right hand was very bloody, higher than the wrist two inches or more. Spots of blood were on his left hand, and on the bosom of his shirt. The shirt he has nnw on is not the same he then wore (the shirt was here produced, and appeared spotted with blood). He said lie lived at No. 1, Park street. I went to Nn. 1 ; it proved to be a lodging house, and not the right house. I had locked him up with the other prisoners. I return-d, and inquired again where he lived. He then gave his right address, No.l, Busby's court, Park-street. He said the key was in the door. He said the neighbours knew nothing of the matter: I went again with George Benbow and James Smith to No: 1, Busby's-court, Found the door latched, but no thumb-piece to lift the latch, so I burst the door open with my- knee. The wife lay before In 6 as I entered the house. Her head was towards the fire place, one knee rather bent, and the other straight. She was bleeding profusely from the neck, in which there was a wound as broad as my hand. She rattled a little in the throat. She was not quite dead. Blood lay on each side of the shoulders, and.on the holes of the broken floor. A knife lay by her side, which Benbow picked up. (The knife was produced, which was a small dessert knife). The knife lay on her left side close by her. There lay a bonnet on the right side of her, with some spots of blood on it, and the crown knocked in, as with a blow. Taylor further stated, that he had asked the prisoner this morning, whether he bad buttoned the collar of his wife's gown after he had cut her throat ? He said he bad not touched her after he had cut her throat, and that he had known the prisoner for several years, who has been tried, if not convicted of a felony. He had seen but did not know the prisoner's wife. The Comma here asked the prisoner whether he had any quell. don to put to the witness ? He said, very calmly—.' Ido not, I told him what he has said nearly. He might misunderstand me." George Benbow and J. Smith corroborated Taylor's evidence. Mr. George Redfern, the keeper of the prison at Bir mingham, said, I asked Timpson what was his reason for committing such an act—was it jealousy ? He said no. I asked him if he and his wife quarrelled ? He said sometimes. Had you any words that day? He said they had. Ilr. Wilcox, a Surgeon, proved, that he went to the house of the deceased upon .a discovery of the murder. There was a very large wound in the deceased's throat ; two incisions had been made through the larynx, the other divided the trachea or windpipe, as well as the esophagus or gullet, and*the carotid artery on the left side. There was a slight wound, cut with a dull in strument, ih a slanting direction, on the left arm ; such a knife as the one produced would cut such a wound. The Comma here said, the prisoner was at liberty to say what he pleased; but informed him that, if necessary, his declaration would be brought against him on his trial. Prisoner-1 have nothing to say; lam guilty of What has been said. I did the crime, and I wish to suffer for it. The Jury returnrd a verdict of Wilful Murder against the pri- soner, William Timpson, who, after a very proper admonition from the Coroner, WAS committed to Warwick Gaul, to takg his =trial for the offence. Pheasants are in great abundance t} is year. DRURY LANE TIIEATRE.—Last night, after the tra gedy of Romeo and Juliet, in which Mr. SOGTHWELL sustained, with great ability, the hero, the new Musical Drama of The White Lady, was performed for the se cond time, with increased applause. ADELPHI.—The performances at this favourite place of resort continue to be received with rapturous ap plause. The House was last night crowded. LONDON BRlDGE.—Yesterday a Meeting of the Bridge House Committee took place at Guildhall. The meet ing was a close one; but,we understand, that some com plaints were under investigation. Mr. Rennie and Sir Edward Banks were in attendance. The former had come up SOO miles to London, on account of what has lately transpired respecting the Bridge. SHIMMING ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, as Mr. Bartley, of Chelmsford, was riding a spirited horse, in the outskirts of the town, the animal, frightened, it is supposed, at the sound of the bells of a waggon ap proaching behind him, instantly reared up, and threw his rider. Mr. Bartley was conveyed home, with his skull e dreadfully fractured. _ _ _ A piece of iron, two inches and three quarters long, and two ounces and a half in weight, (the breech of a musket that burst in dissharging it,) was lately ex tracted at the Chester Infirmary, from the eye of a poor man, named Robert Peters, a small farmer residing at Leeswood, near Mold, in Flintshire, after having endured the most excruciating pain for a period of four years and ten months, during which time it remained in his head. Sunday morning, the family of G. Garrard, Esq:R.A. were thrown into the greatest consternation by his aw fully sudden death. Mr. G. as was his custom, joined in prayer with his family, which being ended, and he not rising, his family became alarmed ; when they went to him, they found that he had expired. Typhus and scarlet fevers have lively prevailed to a great extent. A medical man says, he has found common beer yeast equally e ffi cacious to both complaints. Lonoitutrr.--.Thursday, a requisition was made by the Wardens and Overseers of St. Mary's, Newington, to the Master of their Workhouse, Mr. Mott, to give in a return of tie number of poor under his care, whose advanced ages and infirmi ties required additional support, when the following account was given :—That there were 36 women whose united ages amounted to 2,140 years, averaging 79 years each; also 12 men, whose ages together make 932, being 77 years and 9 months each ; and eight others averaging 70 each; and that Sarah Waters, who has been in the Workhouse from her Infancy, is now 102 years old, to posses don of good health and the fun enjoyment of her faculties.

Philip Sampson, who is in training for his fight with Ned O'Neal, took his benefit yesterday ; but owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, and the absence of the Corinthian patrons of the fancy from town, he had not to boast of a bumper. The attendance, how ever, was respectable, and the display of sparring calls for se remark. .3 1 1 . It 3 dr 1 1 2 2 3 3 Yesterday a large number of shares in new formed Companies were sold at the Mart. In not one instance did the par chase money amount to the deposits paid on the shares. Late advices from Canada mention that the cultiva tion of tobacco bad attracted the attention of the agri culturists there, and that the experiments had been so successful as to have led to a very general adoption of this article. The growers of the United States appear to view with some jealousy this measure of the Cana dians, which, if successful, will interfere materially with a most important branch of the American comrnce. We find in the Jamaica Courants, to the 13th of August, which have reached the Jamaica Coffee•house, the following arrival mentioned His Majesty's ship HARLEQUIN, Captain Scorr, in eight days, from Chagres, with 82,000 dollars, last from Carthagena, in three days, with 6,000 dollars." Mr. DAWKINS arrived at Jamaica in the HARLEQUIN, from the Congress of Panama, which was prorogued on the 23d of July, to reassemble in the city of Mexico,. By the last advices from Ceylon, we learn that an Ordinance had been issued by Governor BARNES, in which the capital punishment for women, which had hitherto been drowning, throughout the Candian ter. ritory, is directed to be hanging, for the futures This had, however, caused considerable murmurs in some parts of the interior, and it was doubtful whether it could be generally carried into effect. The Lisboa Gazettes of the 30th ult. contain a number of addresses'of congratulation to the Palawan REGENT. The intelligence from the different Provinces is highly gratifying. They are in a state of profound tranquillity, which spews that the accounts in the French Papers of the state of the frontier Provinces were erroneous, and a gross misrepresentation. At Oporto some attempts - were made by the serviks to disturb the public peace, but they were immedia , ely put down; and in Upper Biera, where some disaffected agitators had proclaimed Don MIGUEL, King, tranquillity had been restored. It is satisfactory to find, that the universal feeling of the people is in favour of the new order of things. Advices from Alentejo, of the 2.5 th ult. assert that the Spaniards, both cavalry and infantry, continue to desert. The state of Portugal compared to that of Spain, presents a very gratifying contrast,. In the Cape of Good Hope papers, received to the 18th of July last, there is an article of intelligence of some importance. On the 30th of June an ordinance was published in the Colony respecting the treatment of slaves, similar in most provisions to those already in force in Trinidad and Demerara. We observe, however, that instead of prohibiting the flogging of females altogether, the Cape ordinance prohibits the public flogging of them. Slaves are to he allowed to purchase their freedom, on paying their appraised value, on proof that the money has been acquired by lawful means.-- The South Africa's Advertiser says, that of only two articles have any complaints been heard—the prohibi. tion of voluntary field labour on Sundays, and the right given to the slaves to enforce their manumission on paying their value. The ordinance is in force from the Ist ofAugust. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. 11. The supplies of this week ate tolerably good of most kinds of Grain. In consequence of the top price of Flour being reduced ss. per sack, the Wheat trade is excessively dull, and Monday's terms cannot be obtained. There are so few buyers of Spring Corn tern this morning, that Barley, Beans, and Oats sell heavily at last sea tations.—Arrivals : English Wheat, 2,350 qrs. Barley, 5,500 qrs. Oats, 510 qrs.
