A Grand Fancy or Dress Ball, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refugees, w..s given at the King's Theatre last night. * lt took place under splendid patronage. The names of the Uukes of York, Clarence, Sours, and Gloucester, and Prince Leopold, appeared as patrons ; and the list of Ladies Patronesses included their Royal Iligimesoes the Duchess of Clarence, Kent, and Glou cester, and above twenty other Ladies of distinguished rank. In order to prevent the assembly from being is miscellaateous, tickets were nut delivered without the previous sanction of one of the Patronesses. The company was very numerous, and comprised a great number of perbonagcs of distinction. At one time there ap. peered to be nearly three thousand persons present. The vast sal min formed by the pit and the stage was so crowded that it was with the utmost difficulty that room was made for two sets of quadrille dancers, and at the same time scarcely a box was empty. One of the adjoining rooms was appropriated to dancing, and the others to supper. On entering the House, the eye was struck by the prodigious size of the great central chandelier carrying two hundred lights, and around were others almost equally brilliant. Directly in the centre of the front, seven boxes were appropriated for the Ladies Patronesses ; these were formed into a throne, by a riagnificent curtain, decorated with silver Mars ; a noble flight of eleven steps descended to the area. At the end of the long line of perspective was a grand piece of scenery, painted expressly fir the purpose by Signor Zarra, repre,entiag the triumphs of St. George, supported by eight wreathed columns in gold, with Corinthian caps. tats ; it was a transparency meant to pourtray the victories of our Sovereign In the late war. The wings represented a garden, by a foliage of trees extending to the roof of the building. But what gave extraordinary interest to the scene were the flags from the City of London : Ist, the standard of England ; sd, the Corporation of London, the arms and supporters of the City being in the second ; 3d, the arms of England ; 4th, the arms of Scotland ; sth, the limas of Ireland; 6th, the arms of Brandenburg, quartered with Lunen. burg and Hanover. There were six streamers with the arms of St. George. On the right side an orchestra was erected for the celebrated French band, of thirty performers, led by klesus.Colinet,Michaud, and ltusard. In the Great Concert Room was a full military band, and therein the refreshment tables were laid to accommodate three thousand persons. There was also another refreshment table, 60 feet long, placed under the great transparency. This latter was decorated with two triumphal columns, bearing the names of the Ladies Patronesses. About eleven the visitants began to enter, and Quadrilles Imme diately commenced with one set from If Creciat• sasgitfo. Then followed the set from the French Opera called Is Deem Blanche. Afterwards several new Waimea Polonaise, arranged by Mr. Masud. There were few fancy dresses or characters. Of those who did appear in masquerade the most striking exhibitors were one who WAS dressed as Caspar in the Freiseksis, and another who was clothed in the genuine spoils of a Sandwich Islander., The gentle men, with the exception of those in uniform, were almost all in plain evening dress. The ladies were in the usual ball-dress : mme dis played gorgeous bands, borderings, and turbans, of tissue of gold, and others were apparelled in the Spanish costume; but the pre vailing style was that which is commonly to be observed in fashion able companies on similar occasions. The Ladies Patronesses were attired in the high Castilian splen eiour of the reign of Charles the Fifth, at which period the Spanish Moserchy had attained its highest pitch of grandeur.

" A Correspondent in Scotland (says the Editor of the Mirror) has called our attention to the beautiful and pathetic ballad of Helen of Kirkconnell, by Mr. MATite, which, if we mistake not, was one of the .gems selected by Sir WALTIII SCOTS to adorn the Edinburgh Ail Anal Register at the time be edited the work." It is added, that the same Correspondent has set the ballad to music. The Ballad is founded on a tradition in the South of Scotland, that a young Lady of Kirkconnell-Lee, in Annandale, walking with her lover, to whom she was betrothed, was murdered by a disap pointed and sanguinary rival. I wish I were where Helen lies, For, night and day, en me she cries; And, like an angel, to the skies Still seems to beckon me! For me she lived, for me she sigh's!, `For me she wished to be a bride ; Fur me, in life's sweet morn, she died, On fair Kirkconnell-Lee! Where Kirtle waters gently wind, As Helen on my arm reclin'd, A rival, with a ruthless mind, Took deadly aim at me: My love, to disappoint the foe, Rush'd in between me and the blow; And now her cor,,e is lying low, On fair Kirkconnell• Lee ! Though Ilmtv's forbids my wrath to swell, I curse the hand by which she fell— The fiend that made my heav'n a hell, And tore my love from me ! For if, where all the graces shine— Oh ! if on earth there's aught divine, My Helen ! all these charms were thine— They center'd all in thee ! Ab! what avails it that, amain, I clove th' assassin's head in twain ? No peace of mind, my Helen slain, No resting place for me ! I see her spirit in the air— I hear the shriek of wild despair, When murder laid her bosom bare, On fAir Kirkconnell- Lee ! 0 ! when I'm sleeping in my grave, And o'er my head the rank weeds wave, May Ha who life and spirit gave Unite my love and me! Then from this world of doubts and sighs, My soul on wings of peace shall rise; And, joining Helen in the skies, Forget Kirkconnell-Lee ! NAVAL IN I'ELLIGENCE.

COMBINATION OF COLLIERS. FROM Till GLASGOW CHRONICLE OF TUESDAY. Yesterday meaning, the arrival of workmen from all parts of the country, to be employed as free labourers at the works of Colin Dunlop, Esq. of Clyde Iron Works, was quite unprecedented.— By six o'clock, nearly five hundred able-bodied men were assem bled, awaiting the decision of the public-spirited proprietor. The guard established for the protection of the new workmen were Mustered at half-past four o'clock yesterday morning, and Mr. stationed one detachment at the works, and in person commanded two detachments, wick twenty rounds of ball-cartridge, accompanied by ten special constables, who were selected to scour the high and low roads leading from Camlachie to the iron works. The new hands continued to pour in till ten o'clock, when there was such a complete overflow of applicants, that it was deemed advisable to concentrate the guard around the works, and a selec deo was made of the most able bodied workmen, consisting of labourers, weavers, and unassociated colliers, to commence opera tions in the pits. The new workmen, in the highest spirits, with their new implements, immediately descended the great staircase leading to th. various mines, and commenced the working of coal. A strong party of the guard, attended by special constables, were stationed at the top to secure the most complete ingress and egress to the now hoods. In the forenoon, 40 unassociated colliers were engaged, and 100 of the most robust and best looking workmen to be found in this country were hired to begin operations on Thursday morning, when the remaining implements will be finiolted.— Many of the poor workmen had been all night on the road; and it Was truly distressing for Mr. Dunlop to have to reject such deserv ing men. As many as could be accepted of were employed, and obese who were net required were, with Mr. Dunlop's usual hums mity, 'missed to be presented with ls. lid. each man for his trouble. The Mowers and weavers who so meritoriously came forward to Semiee their services, though too late, were also liberally presented with is. each to procure them a breakfast. All the new hands ac cepted of are paid Is. 6d. a-day till they are lit for piece -work, and the collies who teaches the men, besides his premium, is to receive all the coals they put out, and pay them only Is. ed. a-day. Mr. Dunlop paying them the remaining 10d. Yesterday atternoun a ,number of the houses front which the refractory colliers were eject ad were occupied by the new workmen and their families. The colliers of Mr. Gray. of Carntyne, amounting to about 1.50, are still idle. As Mr. Gray has a stocaof 6,060 carts of coals, he will act as on former occasions—leave the deluded men by bitter experience to discover their afar. The weaven out of employment have great cause to rejoice that the work afforded to them in the quarry is wider so judicious a management. Everything is done for their relief that is justified by prudence. Yesterday, between five and six hundred were busy bi caking stones.

DREADFUL MURDER NEAR OXFORD. _~_ A murder h rs been committed this week in the small village of Ensham, situate six miles from Oxford, on the road to Cheltenham, which, from the respectabilit! d both the unfortunate victim and the person charged with the murder, has produced a most powerful sensa tion in that part of the country, where they are both well known { having resided there for many years. The pers.rn murdered is a young man about 20 years old, of he name of Thomas Maley ; his mother, who is a wi- Jow, formerly kept the Red Lion Inn, in that village; hut for the few last years had been living a retired life, being in possession of a small annuity, and was looking forward to the time when the deceased, her only son, who had just completed his apprenticeship to Mr Wilkins. a builder and wheel% right, in the village, would be able to contribute towards her support and comfort. /ler friends are highly respectable—the Town Clerk of Oxford; and Mr. Cox, the banker, of the same place, both being nearly allied to her. The perpetrator of the horrid deed is Mr. Edward Arnatt, a man up wards of 50 years of age, of good and opulent con nexions, and following the business of a farmer and baker. The circumstances under which it occurred, transpired at the Inquest, which was held on the body of the deceased, on Tuesday last, at the Red Lion Inn. After tire Jury bad been sworn, they crossed the road, and viewed the body, which had not been removed from the house of Mr. Arnatt,Und also examined the situation of the premises, so far as related to the room from which the gun was fired, the passage, &c. On their return, the examination of witnesses commenced. Hannah, the wife of James Harper, of Rirsham, stated that on Monday, the 17th instant, she went to Arnatt's house, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, at the request of Ann, his third daughter, for the purpose of appeasing her father, who, she (Ann) said, was in a violent passion. When she (the witness) came to the house, Arnatt was up stairs. In about ten minutes he came down, took a large stick, and struck her twice. Mary, another daughter of Arnatt, ran out of the house, and called to some young men to come in and protect the witness.— In consequence of this, John Cox, Richard D..vi:, and the deceased, Thomas Maley, came into the room (the kitchen), and took hold of Arnatt, to sate her (the witness) from his violence. After he bad given up die stick, the younetnen quitted the kitchen, but were requested by Elizabeth, another daughter of Arnatt, not to leave the premises, lest her father should have recourse to further vie. lence. In consequence 'of this request, they remained in the pas &Age —After they had been out about a qoarter of an hour, witness heard them whispering to each other. Arnatt remained in the room, and was calm. Between the room and the passage is a deal door. On a sudden, Arnatt started up, seized the gun, which hung on a beans In the room, saying at the time he took bold of it, " 13—n their eyes, I'll shoot them." He then put the muzzle of the gun close to the door, and immediately discharged it. Ile appeared to hold the. gun in his right hand only. The contents of the gun went through the door. (In the door was a round hole, about three. quarters of an inch in diameter, round which were the marks of burning front the powder). The whole charge entered the left breast of the deceased, who instantly died. Atnatt went back to his chair, and sat down, and then said, " IJ—n their eyes, I've done for them." Mary Rickson gave similar evidence as to the attempts of Cox, Davis and Maley, to pacify Araatt. Cox took the stick from him. and the witness, Mary Rickson, took hold of Arnett, sat hint down in the chair, and mdeavoured to pacify him. At length be became quite taint. She desired the young men to go out, and they left ' the room. A short time afterwards he suddenly started up. and took down the gun from the beam. The witness seeing this, cried out, " Don't shoot." He swore be would shoot, and instantly fired of the gun. Site immediately opened the door, and saw the deceased on the ground close to the Moor ; he was on his side and doubled up. Witness turned round to Araatt, and said, '• You have done him, it's Thomas Maley." Arnett replied, " I don't care Who it is,it's to my heart's content ; they had no business on my premises." Arnett was then taken into custody. (Rickson and Harper differed in their evidence with regard to the rime which elapsed between the young men leaving the room and the firing of the gun ; Harper stating it to be a lapse of a quarter of an hour, and Rickson saying it took place almost immediately afterwards.) John Cox and Richard Davis gave nearly a similar account of the melancholy event, and stated, that previous to their leaving the room, they saw Arnett look up at the gun, which hung on a beam, and Cox, said to Davis " Take care of the gun, Dick." Augustus Rickson, son of the snood wittiest, gave similar evi• dente. In answer to questions put to several of the witnesses respecting the prisoner having been intoxicated, they said that he appeared a little so, but they did not think him much in liquor. Mr. Welchinan. a surgeon of Enshern, knew the deemed, Thos. Maley ; had examined the body, and found a deep wound of the breadth of two inches and upwards in the left breast; the heart was very much lacerated; a quantity of shot had lodged in the cavity of the thorax. Here the witness produced upwards of sixty shots which be had taken front the body of the deceased, also a small piece of his coat or waistcoat. He was quite certain that the death of the deceased was occcasioned by a gun-shot wound. The Coroner read over the evidence, and explained the law on the subject; and the Jury. after a consultation, which occupied a considerablainte, returned a verdict of—" WiUul Murder." The Coroner bound the witnesses in recognizances for their appearance at the trial, and issued his warrant for the committal of Arnett to the County gaol, to which place he was conveyed about ten o'clock the same evening. Arnett has a wife, two eons, and four daughters, who have long suffered front the. irritability and violence of his disposition. The gun with which the fatal deed was perpetrated was one of three which he always kept loaded, as a protection against thieves. The body was removed to the Red Lion—the very house the deceased's mother formerly kept, and where he binsasif was born. Thursday morning, at a Quarterly Court of thit Met chant Tailors Company, which was very numerously attended, the freedom of the Company was unanimously voted to be presented to the Meat Hon. R. Peat., one of his Maasstv's principal Secre taries of State. The Swedish Government has resolved to emploli 60,000 rlx•dollars in completing several ship., and in repairing the fleet at Catiscritna, viz. 17,000 in completing the Charles John, 14,000 in repairing the Drislighoten, and 49000 in rebuildit g the Prince Oscar; all these are ships of the line. The Gentleman oldie name of GERRARD who, it has been stated, was wounded in the side seriously on Wednesday It liderrel.green, in a duel with Captain SMITH, lie, without hopes of recovery. The ball it appears had lodged above the hip bone, and it was not extracted cn Thursday night. The patient remains in a high state of fever. Mr KRAN arrived at Charleston rn the 12th tilts and was to make his first appearance in dae character of Richard the Third. SPORTING' INT ELLIGENCL YORK SPRING NIFETING, 1826-..:Moroar, nay 15.
