Wednesday the Southern Regiment of West Riding Yorkshire keamanry, was inspected by Major CatIGHTON, of the sth Dra goon Guards. The day being particularly favourable, the assem blage was very numerous; indeed it had notch the appearance of a race day. Doncaster and neighbouring villages having poured out their inhabitants to witness the interesting scene, and the gay attire of the Ladies muck added to the general effect. The car riages on the ground were numerous. The quickness and precision With which the several movements were effected, elicited just praise. The inspecting Officer expressed his entire satisfaction. The frotinti was in good order, and the day passed without acci dents. The horses looked remarkably well. In the evening, the dinner at the Mansion House was attended by nearly fifty Dende- 1 liven ; Lord WHARXCUTTE in the Chair, supported by Major Cam:Hunt and the DlAtva; LicuteColonel Fum.aaros, Vice President. THAMES TUNNEL This singular and extraordinary andettaking is making topid progress towards its completion, and there seems every probability of ultimate success. The following is a brief outline of the present state of the works : The communication with the spot where the working people are employed is by means of a shaft, 70 feet in depth, 90 fe,t in diameter, and 150 in circumference, to which vi,itots descend by means of a winding staircase. 11.4 art ana,ement is only of a temporary nature, and it is intended, on the completion of the undertaking, to form another shaft of a similar construction, but of much larger dimensions, as a carriage-way. The dia meter of this shaft will be 200 felt, which, from the base to the surface of the earth, will still leave a descent of about 60 feet. This ascent, however, will be so con structed as not to create any considerable difficulty to the carriage of heavy bnrthens. The apparatus by which the work is carried on, is by means of a cast-iron shield, which is under the controul of a lever, in which there are 36 boxes, which can either be moved singly or jointly, at pleasure, in which the excavators perform their operations. There are three tiers of them, and when the propelling power is called into action, they move nine inches at a time. They are composed of iron, and the shield is formed to the extent of the proposed undertaking, being 40 feet in width and 22 feet in height. The shield is square, and after form ing the arch, the corners are bricked, and the square completed ; and at no time is there more than nine inches, and seldom above sit inches, left unprotected. On the excavators removing the rough earth, the brick layers immediately follow with three courses of bricks, which form the arch, and which is four feet in substance. The distance trom the top of the shield to the bed of the River is 20 feet, and the precaution exercised in the formation of this important part of the undertaking is a, well adapted, that in the event of any accident occur ring, by the rush of water or the bursting of a spring, the top sleepers of each box, as they are called, will Immediately unfit ; and if he danger increases, they can brick it in, which has already been the case, when some of the land springs, before they came under the River, impeded the progress of the undertaking, and which has hitherto proved effectual. The medium of communication will be by means of two arches, each 17 feet 6 inches in height, and 13 feet 6 inches in width, separated by a pier 3 feet 6 inches, one of them intended for the communication from Wapping, and the other from Rotherhithe, so that no 'possible obstruction can occur ; and the gas lights being placed at so short a distance from each other, will pre sent a most singularly pleasing sight. Every 12 feet there is an opening, by which passengers may recognize each other, but the opportunity of passing from one arch to another will be prevented by an iron railing.— In each of these communications gas will be laid on, and any inconvenience arising from this mode of lighting will be counteracted by an admirable system of ventila tion, produced by an aperture between the two arches; the draft of which, at the piesent moment, is so great, that it will immediately extinguish a link or other strong light, on being placed near it. The draft will, of course, be infinitely more considerable,when these is a thorough draft, which will be the case on Its completion. The binding substance used in the brick work is not mortar, but a very strong cement, in the preparing and quality of which the greatest caution is used, and the bricks are of a most durable description, and principally made from the clay procured by the excavation, and manu factured under the superintendance of the Company. Previously to the commepcement of the undertaking, the bed of the River was catefully bored, to ascertain the stratum of the soil, which was found'to be a dark blue clay, of a vet y strong nature. The bottom, which they are now excavating. is a gravelly soil, of a greenish hue; and it is assumed that this was the original bed of the River. This idea is, indeed, borne out by the quart, City of oyster, cockle, and other shells of fish which are almost hourly found among the clay. As the work proceeds the boring is still continued, and they are thus enabled to ascertain what they have to contend with.— Thi ough the means of a very singular instrument, they ate enabled to ascertain to a pin's point, almost, where the termination of the work will come out on the Wap ping side, and in a short time to commence the opera tion on this side of the water, in order to expedite the progress of the undertaking. The length of the Tunnel, from shaft to shaft, will be 1100 feet, w hen completed ; the number of men at pre sent employed is about 230 (besides the Officers of the Establishment), who relieve each other every eight hours, so that the work is going on all night, and they tart away about MO loads of rubbish per day. The br'clits consumed are about 70,000 per week, and of the casks of cement 360, the distance already completed is about 296 feet, and the weekly progress about 12 feet. The time and expense necessary for the pulling down and removal of the old London-bridge will be very considerable; a cofferdam being necessary at feet y ore of the piers or starlings before the operation can be effectually commenced. Bilte/ISCUIASI MUSIC MEETING.—The Concert at the Theatre on Friday evening, was attended by an audience alike nu merous and elegant. 'Beery part of the house was atm/tied to an ovallow soon after the opening of the doors. The evening's per formances were excellently conducted, and many of the songs were riteored.-Tbig bale closed the present Meeting. r.

The part of Elvira introduced Mrs. M , Gtartou to a London audience, after an absence of five years. She was favourably received, and per formed her part in a style which would have reflected credit on the first actress of the day. Mr. WALLACIE sustained, very respectably, the character of Rolla. He was particularly effective in his address to the Peru vians. The other parts were creditably performed. The principal attraction of the evening was the first representation of the new Musical Romance of The White Lady, or the Spirit of Avenel. The characters were thus supported : _ Julian of Avenel ' Mr. Amami. Roland Gram . Mr. Holm Father Huskies . Mr. Yams. Father Philip . Mr. J. Roam. Adam Woodcock Mr. HARLEY. Christie . . Mr. 0. Sum. Hob . Mr. limns. Duman . Mr. Wean's. The White Lady . Miss I. Pi Tor. Mary 4 f Asenat Mho CLAMMY. . Lilias . . Miss Kura'. _ _ Margaret Dslw A. Tam The story is a complete dramatic version of The Monastery, of course allowing of those alterations and curtailments essentially necessary for scenic effect. Sir WALTER Scores admirable tale is so well known, that it relieves us from the duty of giving the story and in cidents of 21se White Lady minutely. Suffice it to say, that it has made a very interesting dramatic entertain , ment, and, aided by most excellent scenery, capital music, and uncommonly clever acting, bids fair to become a most successful favourite. In bestowing praise upon the music, we must not omit an 66 lama. lion" to the White Lady, composed by T. Comte, and sung by Mr. Holm. It was exceedingly pretty, and honoured with great applause. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the scenery, which really, to use a vulgar phrase, beggars description. A Moonlight Scene, consisting of waters and a well, is the finest specimen of the effect of art in depicting Nature that we ever witnessed. It is certainly a most becautiful effort of STANFIELD'S skill. The actors, especially HARLEY and Hoar', contributed greatly to the success of the piece; nor must we forget to notice Miss !CELLY, who con trived to make rather an unimportant part exceedingly agreeable. The music is chiefly taken from Bout.- luau's Opera of La Dame Blanche, and is distinguished by great ability. Some of the combinations are ex tremely beautiful. The opening song of Miss KELLY, in particular passages of which Mr. HORN repeats a bar, which is takes up by a full chorus, was very pleasing. The trio, also, between Miss KELLY, Mr. HORN. and Mr. HARLEY, especially the concluding part, is beauti fully characteristic. Miss GRADDON has a charming recitative and air, which she sang tastefully. Miss I. PATON gave the answer of the Spirit of Avenel to the invocation with considerable power and'effect. DUNDEE, Ocr. 6. -...mi..- - PROM THR SOUNDER COURIER. For the last fortnight, rumour has prevailed in this neighbourhood, that Margaret Warder, a young woman in the service of Mr. David Smith, farmer, at Denside, in the parish of Monikie, had been poisoned by her mis tress, Mary Elder, or Smith ; the motive assigned for this act, was the yoong woman's being pregnant by one of Mrs, Smith's inns. As a precognition had been taken be. fore C. Kerr, Esq. and Mrs. Smith's committal to prison, till farther inquiry begone into, we forbear to state the various rumours that are afloat on the subject. The following are the leading circumstances ; The deceased was taken violently ill on Wednesday, and early on the Friday Dr. Taylor from Brought's Ferry was called to her. He found her affected with violent retching, her extremities cold, and exhibiting every symptom of death. He considered her to be suffering from cholera morbus, l and beyond the power of medicine, and she died in a few hours; and was interred on the following Sunday, in the Church-yard at Murroes. The Sheriff, having been informed of the suspicious circumstances attending the young woman's death, ordered the body to be raised, which was done on Saturday last, about twenty days after interment, in the presence of Drs. Ramsay and Johnston, of this place, and Dr. Taylor. The body was dissected on a grave -stone, in the open air ; and the medical report given in, attributes the death of the young woman to poison, by arsenic. She had been from three to four months pregnant. Fait of the stomach and its contents, have been seat to the Clown agent, at Eiinburgh, for examination by the medical profession there. FORGIVING H MBA ND.—Joseplr Mathews, of Gardi ner, says, 4. Whereas, my wife Irena, like Noah's dove, has returned to my bed, and behaves as a pleasant wife, this is to revoke my former advertisomem."—Philadel ,phio Popr. NEW YORK, Starrnisu 6. . - We arrived at Ne w York ; on the 14th ultimo, after a passage of twenty-six days across the Atlantic, and met with a very kind reception from the Inhabitants of thi rich and populous city, in which altogether there was nothing in the general aspect of the scene to indi cate that the sea-port at which we had arrived, be longed to a different people from Liverpool, the port we had left. The same bustle of commerce crowding the streets and quays ; houses built in the same taste, and merchants with the same complexions and dresses met our view. N or did we, on entering the society of 1 the upper classes of inhabitants, discover any thing in their manners' different from their equals in rank and rt i l property in E la n d. Th e interiors of their public rooms are fini s h d i n a rat h er gayer sty l e o f ornament than is usual in ngland, and less crowded with furni. me ; and the m ;en of the men do not suffer much on comparison. e women, it is tree, seem to me to fall short, and to 'want the ;mexpreisible grace and truly feminine delicacy,witich render the English females superior to the rest of the human race. It must be remembered, however, that this is testimony of a partial witness. It is amongst the shopkeepers and husbandmen that the originals of the portraits of the American national character drawn by late travellers must be looked for, and we certainly recognised many originals that seemed to have sat for the sketches; but the pictures have been finished more as caricatures that! real likenesses. There is nothing liki a Republican equality in the United States, the distinction of ranks arising from birth and connexions is pertinaciously kept up, and here, as in other quarters of the world, wealth has its full influence. • Sr. PATRICK ASSURANCE COMPANY OF IRELAND. A call of 41. 10s. on each Share has been made, for the purpose of paying the claims against this Company. POOR RATES.—On a large farm, of 1,1001. rental, in Wiltshire, the poor rates have been reduced, by being confined to their honest uses, to 601. a year. The first set of shiverers have already taken their de parture from the Ilea coast; and water-proof cloaks, great coats, and flannel, in all its varieties, are much in demand by the remainder. ' Last night a Meeting of the Electors of Sudbury was held at the Angel and Crown, Whitechapel, to take into further consideration the fitness of Mr. Wilk: to repre sent them in Parliament ; when, after a conversation of considerable length, it was agreed to petition Parliament' against his return. Thursday, as Lord GLINORCHY was driving his tandem along George -street, Perth, the leader fell on the iron plates at its junction with the High-street. The following horse run oil above, and the former passing through below his belly, rose at the other side, and twisted the harness about his legs. The vehicle having four wheels, kept its equipoise, and fortunately neither his Lordship, nor Captain STEWART ' of Murthly, who accompanied him, received any inju ry. FANCY BALL AT NORTHLAND Howls, DUNOANNON• —Friday sennight Viscountess NORTHLAND gave a most splendid Fancy Ball to the Nobility and Gentry of the province of Ulster. seven rooms and the con servatory en suite were thrown open for the reception of the company, all of which were beautifully deco rated, and lighted in the most brilliant manner. At half past two o'clock upwards of 500 guests sat down to a superb supper, after which dancing recommenced, which was kept up with the greatest spirit till six o'clock. Among the company were the following distinguished personages, viz. Duke de Montebello, Marquis and Marebloneu of Donegall, Earl and Countess of Caledon, Earl and Countess of Behnore, Count de Vergia, Baron Thayer, Baron E. Thayer, Lord and Lely Blaney, Lady E. Alexander, Lord and Lady E. Chichester, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Corry, Lady Isabella Douglas, Sir J. and Lady Scrooge, Sir S. and Lady May, Sir Charles and Lady Morgan, Sir H. and Lady Stewart, Hon. Mrs. and Miss Calvert, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Caulfeild, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. Stuart, Hon. Mr. James Caulfeild, Hon. Miss Blaney, Charles Brownlow, Req. CoLVerner, J. Y. Burgess, Esq. &c. Saturday as the clerk of Messrs. Brace and Selby, of Surry-street, attorneys, was going into the City about the hour of one o'clock, to take up some bills a man of respectable appearance wilfully ran against him with considerable violence, and pierced his thigh with some sharp instrument which was poisoned, and the part was cut out by surgeon in the course of the day. During the passage of the Sarah Ward West India man, from Jamaica, her crew felt a smart shock, as if the ;hip had struck on a rock, and it was expected that she would leak. No leak, however, occurred ; and on her arrival in the West India Docks, a short time back, when her cargo was taken out, it was found that she had been snuck, by a sword-fish near the keel. Such was the force'of the animal, that its spike had penetrated through the copper, through the plank, and had gone three inches into a hogshead of sugar lying at the bot tom of the vessel: The Sarah Ward has been obliged, in consequence, to go into a dry dock for repair. The idle shipw rights of Bristol have at length gives a taste of their quality in thf execution of mob law. One of them having returned to his work at the wages of 245. a weak, on Saturday morning early they waylaid and beat him, then tortured him by placing him astride a spar, blackening his face, and carrying him through the city and about the ship yard for more than six hour.. In thd evening, however, a body of peace officers picked out the ringleaders from their haunts, and lodged them in Bridewell, to be dealt with according to law. HORRID OCCURRENCE.—Friday afternoon, a mast, named William Timpson, residing in Park-street, Bit mingham, presented himself at the prison, and stated , that he Lad murdered his wife. From his decisive manner, and upon further inquiries, the officers were induced to proceed to his residence, where, on opening the door, they found the report but toq strictly verified, as the poor woman lay in the kitchen, with her head nearly severed from her body. A large clasp knife, with which Timpson stated h e h a d commi tted the act, lay in the room. Upon being questioned on the sub ject, he said that he had no enmity towards his wife, and could not account . for his having been actuated to commit so dreadful a crime. SHERIDAN used to say, that the life of a Manager was like the lite of the Ordinary of Newgate, a constant superintendent of executions. The number of authors whom he was forced to extinguish was, he said, a per petual literary massacre, that made St. Bartholomew's altogether shrink in comparison. Play-writing, singly, accounted for the employment of that immense multi tude who drain away obscure years beside the inkstand, and haunt the streets with iron moulded visages, and study-coloured clothes. It singly accounted for the rise of paper, which had exhausted the rags of England and Scotland, and had almost stripped off the last covering of Ireland. He had counted plays until calculation sank under the number; and every rejected play of them all seemed, like the clothes of a Spanish beggar, to turn into a • living, restless, merciless, indefatigable progeny, SPORTING INTELLIGENCS., ERTTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Om it.

For the Derby, Mr. Wyndham's and Lord Jersey's horses are first favourites, at even betting, one of them being of the Whale Tone breed, and the other own brother to the :elehrated Middleton, who woo the Derby last year.

The match was for 200 sous, The mare carried fist. and performed the distance in 59 minutes and 43 seconds. The mare broke from the trot in the third mile, by which she lost some seconds: she, however, of complished her last mile as easy as the first. Betting was 6t04 Jo the mare. GOLFING.

At deven o'clock the President and Members proceeded to the top of the North Inch, where a large area was inclosed with stakes and ropes, with a platform in the centre for the exhibition of the pipers and dancers. A party of the 93d Highlanders bad been ordered out to keep the ground and preserve order ; but they, for some unaccountable reason, bad been ordered to take their station at twelve o'clock, an hour after the time of meeting. Before their arrival, a crowd of specta tors, estimated at not less than 10,000, h a d assem bl e d ; an d as a rather promiscuous and by far too numerous admission to an inner circle within the lißs was permitted, and by that means the view of the crowd being completely obstructed, they became restive, tore tip the stakes and ropes, and pressed forward to the circle within. The handful of the 93d completely failed in restoring order, and even when a party of the 7th Hussars arrived, the mob was in too much confusion to be arranged in their former station by any means which could have been advisable on the occasion. The sports were consequently much obstructed, and it was impossible to witness them with any degree ofsomfort. The musical competitors dis played much skill, and the dancers great agility and spirit. Great strength and dexterity were exhibited in the other gymnastic nor cises, particularly by Peter 31 6 1Jougal, from the Braes of Foss, who fag outshone any of his athletic competitors. The sports, upon the whole, were calculated to aff o rd muc h amusement , bad the unfor tunate confusion aUuded to not marred It in a great degree.
