CURIOUS GRANT. The following Grant, made by WILLIAM the Cox labium to the ancestor of the ancient family of the Hoirrou's, was copied out of an old Manuscript, and JOHN STOWa has it in his Orowick : HOTTON. To the Heyres male of the Hopton, lawfully begotten, To me and to myne, to thee and to thine, While the Water runs and the Sun doth Aloe, For lack of Heyres to the Kum spine, I, WILLIAM.

SOUTHAMPTON, Seer. 23. The Regatta took plate on Monday last. Soon lifter ten o'clock the second class sajling boats (eight) under eighteen feet, proceeded to start. The course was to Netley Abbey and back twice ; they kept well toge- ther, presenting, notwithstanding the weather, a pretty sight, and eventually, after a hard run rate, the Mary, Richard Cooper, was declared the winner. In the mean time five hoys, from 15 to 17 tons, had taken their sta tion, and started to go to Netley three times and back. The wind leading up and down, there was little display of seamanship ; the Rose, Wm. Blizzard, took the lead, kept it, and won, though closely followed by the Henry, Charles Dyke. The rowing match was also contested by five boats, and was won by Robert Perkins's boat ; and a rowing match between four or five boat loads of the fairer and softer sex took place about the same time, Which ex=ited a vast deal of amusement, and happily ended without any duckings or drownings, though it was considered by many that neither of these events was beyond the bounds of probability. This being over, no time was lost in starting the large boats and wherries, eight in number. This was decidedly the best race of the day, the long boats and low sails of the wherries forming a curious contrast with the wider boats and loftier sails of the Itchen Ferryers. Much to the disap pointment of these quiet and peaceful Gents. the wind leading up and down, enabled a wherry, sailed by H. Rawlins, to beat them all, except the Dart, William Parker, which, from her very superior size, it was evident to all, must win the first prize. A sailing match con cluded the sports of the day. 'The tang froid of British seamen was curiously exemplified at the itegatta. All the boats endangered themselves by the prodigious press of sail they carried, and one of them was upset. The crew, however, nothing daunted, swam to another beat, then hauled their own alongside is vessel, righted her, all drenched as they were, a:- tually.procetded on the race, and came in third. Tuesday, the London of Dundee, encountered a pretty severe gale on her voyage up, when off the Dog ger Bank; her rigging was almost covered with hawks, so much weakened, that Captain Wishart succeeded in catching 21 One of them was large, and of a bluish colour ; the others were of the common kind. A fellow has been committing desperate havoc among the pigeons that abound in the neighbourhoo.l of Btiston, by the following stratagem :—lt appears that he has a hawk trained to the business, which he carries about in a bag. When he enters a place abound ing with pigeons, he opens the mouth of it, %%hen out flies the bird of prey, and instantaneously pounces on its victim. When this is accomplished the owner of the hawk gives a loud whistle, which has the effect of bringing back the well-trained bird to his hand, bearing in its talons a pigeon. The man by this expedi(ut has been known to take upwards of two dozen of pistons in the space of half an hour. The Police are on the look out for hum and his hawk. FACTORS AND Acawrs.—The following Clause of a recent Act of Parliament is about to come into opera tion:—" Sec. 6. Geo. IV. c. 94. sec. 7.—And whereas it is expedient to prevent the improper deposit or pledge of goods, wares, or merchandize, or the documents :e -lating to such goods, wares, or merchandize, entrusted or consigned as aforesaid to Factors or Agents, be it therefore enacted, That if any such Factor or Agent, at any time from and after the said Ist day of Oct , ber, 1826, shall deposit or pledge any goods, wares, or met chandize, entrusted or consigned as aforesaid to his or her care or management, or any of the said several documents, so possessed or entrusted as aforesaid with any person or persons, body or bodies politic or cor porate, as a security for any money or any negotiable instrument or instruments, borrowed or received by such Factor or Agent, and shall apply or dispose thereof to his or her own use, in violation of good faith, and with intent to defraud the owner or owners of any such goods, wares, or merchandize, every person so offending in any part of the United Kingdom, shall be deemed and taken to be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof, according to law, shall be sen tenced to transportation for any term not exceeding fourtet.n years, or to receive such other punishment as may by law be inflicted on persons guilty of a misde meanour, and as the Court before whom such offender may be tried and convicted may adjudge." CLOTHING FOR THE POOR( From the Stockport Advertiser) —His Majesty's Ministers, ever anxious to promote the welfare of the labouring classes, have pre sented to the London Committee a considerable quan tity of militia clothing, to be distribbted amongst the manufacturing districts. The Committee, as will to, seen by the following letter, have forwarded the cloth ing to the tespective towns mentioned in the annexed statement : _ _ _ " Manufacturers' Relief Committee, London, Sept. 14. " Sta—llia Majesty's Government having entrusted the London Committee with the distribution of a quantity of clothing and blankets fur the relief of the distressed poor in the manufacturing diatricts, the London Committee find it quite impossible to appor tion the same with any correctness, for want of local information, and are therefore compelled to call for the particular assistance of the Gentlemen forming Ineal Committees at the following places, to which they have forwarded the respective allotments (being the whole quantity placed at their disposal, or whic4 is likely to be so), is the hope that such Local Committees will interest themselves in aid of the London Committee, so that the same may be distributed as impartially as possible amongst all the parishes and townships in their respective neighbourhoods. Si By seder of the Committee. E. MORTIMER, Act. Sec. 44 To Capt. liamphrep, Stockport." The tool•house of Lord Nuaskr, at Lillies 4 near Aylesbury, was broken open on Thursday night last; and on the same night the dairy of Mr.Bonr, of Weed2n, was entered. 4r HtJNbER STORM. Early en the morning of Monday week, the town of , Camborne and the adjacent parishes, especially that of Crowan, were visited by one of the most severe and destructive thunderstorms that have occurred for many years in Cornwall. The peals of thunder were astonish ingly loud, and the flashes of lightning most vivid. At Camborne, a large house, nearly finished, belonging to Mrs. Vincent, was struck by the electric fluid, which broke two of the windows in the attic story, descended by the bell wires, and through the chimnies into the different rooms, tearing up and shattering every thing in its way. But the most serious calamity betel a poor family named Orchard, who reside near Clowance. gate, and who were all in bed. The husband, wife, and a young child were in one bed, and three other chil dren in another. The head of the former bed was placed close to the chimney, which rose from the apartment below, there being no fire place in the room in which they slept. It appears the lightning struck the chimney, as the top is thrown down, and entered the room where the bed stood. The unfortunate woman was instantly killed, her body being lite:ally reduced to a cinder: her husband was dreadfully burned, and the child was thrown from the bed en the floor, but without receiving any serious injury ; the other children happily escaped. The night clothes of Orchard and his wife were bt rned to tinder; the bed clothes were burnt and torn to pieces; the bedstead was shivered, and a witch which hung in the room was destroyed, no part of it but the case being found. The destructive fluid made its way through the floor of the apartment, and escaped through the end wall of the house, in which it has left a large aperture. A pig, which weighed 15 score (3001 b.) was, at the same time, killed in its stye, which adjoined the end of the house through which the electric fluid passed. These dreadful ravages are the more to be lamented, as they have bereaved four young children of one parent, and so severely injured the other, who is an industrious man, as to render it doubtful whether he will ever be able to follow his usual occupation again. In the adjoining parish of Gwinear, a horse belonging to a poor man named Gla►son, was found dead in the field, having been killed by lightning during the storm. Several other injuries have been inflicted, but none so serious as those before stated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSION.HOUSE. Yesterday, two men named Austin and Weatherhead were brought before the Lotto MAYOR on a charge of being at large, with intent to steal or commit depredations.—They were both remanded. Yesterday, Mr. John Wilts, jun, applied to the LORD Maven, for the aid of peace officers to retake possession of his house, which he said had been burglarious)) , entered by persons who still re tained possession of it, -together with his property, and whom he wished to have brought up for that offence before bis Lordship. The LORD MAYOR sent for the City Solicitor to take his advice on the case. His Lordship, who had received an account of the proceedings from his officers, sent for the parties, who readily at tended.—The facts were as follow : During Sunday, some persons connected with Mr. Wilks, made application to the Loan Marna. His Lordship sent down one of the Marshals to the spot. Mr. Verbeke waited on his Lordship, and represented the nature of bis claims to the property and pre mises, and declared that it was absolutely necessary that be should assert his right in the manner he had done. The LORD Mayon ultimately agreed to let Mr. Verbeke remain in possession. On Sunday night, Mr. Wilke, accompanied by some persons with whom be is connected, went to the premises and demanded posses sion. No attention was paid to the demand, and after a long colloqny, which greatly amused a crowd of persons who had assem bled, he retired; Large placards were yesterday exhibited on the outside of the premises, stating that they were to be let, and referring applicants to Mr. Pearson, London Wall. Notice hawing been given to the parties in possession, Mr. Ver. beke came before his Lordship, accompanied by Mr. Corrie and Mr. William Clark. __ Mr. Wilks objected to the presence of Mr. 'William Clark. lie had nothing to do with the business, and had no right to be there. Mr. Currie said that blr. Wilke had his friends with him ; and u Mr. Clark came as the friend of Mr. Verbeke, if he retired, the friends of Mr. Wilke would also retire. • - hlr. Clark remained, but took no part in the proceeding; The LORD MAYOR said to Mr. Ve belie that he must be aware that he had obtained, and had kept possession of the premises in a manner which no Magistrate could sanction. Mr. Verbeke represented to his Lord.hip that he considered himself, in the present posture of Mr. Wilks's affairs, and of his proceedings, fully justified in this step. This his. Lordship would acknowledge when be was made acquainted with the whole of the circumstances. The LORD MAvoa was not inclined to investigate the circum stances of the case. He recommended an amicable adjustment of the case, or, at least, such an adjustment as would leave the ques tion of the tight to the possession of the ptt'perty to be determined by a superior Court. lie suggested that one of his °racers should remain ht possession, and that neither party, in the meantime, should remove the property. Mr. Verbeke declared that he had not the slightest objection to any arrangement of this nature. Mr. Wilke—Oh, I shall not compromise the burglary. . The City Solicitor (smiling)—This is no burglary. A long discussion then ensued.— Ultimately the armistice recom mended by the Loan MAroa was agreed to, on the following con ditions, a copy of which, signed and witnessed, was left with his Lordship: " Mansion-House, Sept. 25. " /. That both Mr. Wilk: and Mr. Verbeke continue in posses sion of the premises in New Broad -street, No. 35 and No. 36. " 2. That neither of the parties shall remove any article or pro perty from the premises, or suffer them to be removed by any of their clerks or servants. " 3. That both parties have free inspection of all the late part nership works and papers. " 4. That Mr. Wilks's two female servants continue to reside on the premixes. " 5. That Mr. Turnpenny, a police-officer, be in possession, to prevent a breach of the peace, but not to interfere with the pro perty ; and that lie do not perMit any property to be removed with out the consent of both parties. " 6. That Mr. Currie be not permitted to enter the premises, but that Mr. Parsons, a male servant of Mr. Verbeke, be permitted to sleep on the premises. " 7. That the boards and bills outside the premises bejmme diately taken down. " IL That each of the parties engage to keep the peace, and cause it to be kept by their respective clerks and servants, and strictly to 1 abide by the engagements entered into. " 9. That Mr. Verbeke be permitted to remove the goods which he has placed on the premises since Saturday, and to leave what articles he shall think proper for the convenience of his male servant, who is to reside on the premises. _ _ " That these engagements are not to prejudice either of the parties as to any remedy they may have to what his occurred. c bigned) "JOHN WILKS. " Witness, John Wood.' " J. F. F. V ERBEKE." These having been duly executed, the parties retired. Soon afterwards a female servant, in the employment of Mr. Wilke, accompanied by two of his clerks, came and requested a sum mons against Mr. Corrie for an assault committed upon her. The assault she complained of consisted of his forcibly detaining her whilst two men followed him and got possession of the house. He held her fast by the waists, one of which she stated had received a alight scratch. The LOAD MATO& granted her a summons. This having been obtained, she applied for a warrant against Mr. Charles Verbeke, the brother of the late partner of Mr. Wilks, for having falsely imprisoned her. She stated that he had detained her in the kitchen forcibly, and would not let her go to the door, or go out when she wanted. The Loan Maros refused to grant the warrant. She would, perhaps, see Mr. Verbeke when she came up to give her evidence on the other case. _ _ _ GUILDHALL. .fokos itsithogron, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 1008, was charged by the well-known Mr. Duncan Campbell with wilfully bin ! tiering the flee passage uf his Majesty's subjects in Cheapside, and With unlawfully escaping, being iii . bliettetaily for the said offence The defendant appeared on a summons, but as soon as be entered the office, Mr. Campbell seized hint, and had him lo_cked up till the case was called on. Mr. Campbell stated, that he was riding through Cheapside in a cabriolet, following close behind some carts, when the defendant broke in,drove the horse of the cabriolet on the pavement, and broke the springs of the vehicle. He immediately jumped out, mounted the coach-box, and touching defendant on the shoulder, told him he W.'S in custody, and must follow him. Some Gentleman, however, told him this was not a legal arrest, and the defendant, lashing the horses, and at hint, drove off. The course he (Mr. C.) bad pursued, was that directed by the 30th of Geo. IL cap. 22, which enacted, that if the driver of any carriage whatever (and therefore Gentlemen's coachmen as well as carmen were liable) prevented or interrupted the free passage, "any person" who n sees" the offence committed " shall" seize the offender, and deliver him to a constable; so that if he bad not been himself aggrieved, be still must have apprehended the defendant, or he would have been open to an indictment. Singularly enough, under this Act, the complainant (and those who were aggrieved were only likely to complain) was disqualified from giving evidence by having a moiety of the penalty awarded to him. To prove his case, therefore, he calks' his son, and the cabriolet driver, but they could not prove that he touched the defendant's body, although they heard Mr. C. tell him be was a prisoner; nor could they identify the defendant as the driver. Mr. Lee, a coal merchant, in the Minories, said, be understood Mr. Campbell had obtained a warrant against him for an escape, because he merely delivered his opinion, that as Mr. C. was not an officer, he had no authority to apprehend the man. Mr. Campbell waived bis charge against this Gentleman, that he might make hint a witness against the defendant ; and he at once proved, when sworn, that he was the driver. He said, however, a coachman was so easily made amenable, by taking his number, and getting a summons; and it was so hard to make a coachman, who had passengers, lose his fare, as well as pay the fine, that he thought Mr. C. must be mistaken in his law. The defendant pleaded ignorance of the law, and that there was a sufficient opening fur his coach. Sir JOHN PINNING said, when all drivers were aware of their liability to instant capture for misbehaviour, they would become more cautious. The Public wanted a few more men of such energy as Mr. Campbell, and, for example's sake, he fined the defehdant 10s. and 17a. costs. The coacb owner was then fined 10s. for not 'registering his abode in Guildhall. BO W-STREET. Yesterday, James Pratt was charged by Mr. Brookes, stationer, 421, Oxford-street, with obtaining on false pretences, three ledgers, on the 2d July. The complainant stated that the prisoner came to his shop and said that he wanted the above for a person named Marlette; witness had known the prisoner before, but would not have trusted him on his o.vn account; he had pawned the books immediately after ob taining them. Shortly afterwards he endeavoured to procure a writing desk on the saute pretences, but the witness had made some enquiries, which led to the discovery of the fraud and to the pri soner's apprehension.-11e was remanded. R. Ranks, who vends prints in James•street, Covent Garden, was ordered to find bail for attempting to violate the person of Margaret Sullivan, eleven years of age. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, Jostys Pegrios, a saw yer, was brought before the Ma gistrate by Isaac Cook, a constable of Islington, charged with a aeries of violent assaults, and Susan Pritchard was placed at the bar with him as particcps crintitais. The female was discharged conditionally, that if Mrs. Pegrini appeared to prefer any charge against her, she should again come forward tb meet It. Tuc Btrutist.-cassx Ouvaaoss.—Yesterday morning two ill looking fellows, who stated their names to be Lisse.-ett and Bond. presented themselves at the Police Office in Worship-street, and having !Token to one of the officers, admitted themselves to he con nected with the gang that have been so long the dread of the inha bitants of Betbnal-green and its neighbourhood. One of . the individuals (Bond) said, they had come up to surren der themselves, as they knew of the attack and rubbery of Mr. Fuller, the Surgeon, for which James Boyce and George Houghton were now under sentence of death in New•gate. They had come for the purpose of proving that George Houghton W:l9 innocent of the crime of which he had been convicted, and therefore to endea vour to set aside the verdict of the Jury. Mr. Twvroeo said, that he could not listen to any thing in the present stage of the business that would at an affect the verdict that had been returned by the Jury; and he would caution the persons at the har to take care of themselves, as it was the determination of the Magistrates to punish every offender that may be brought before them with the utmost rigour. He would not detain Bond and Lisserett now, and therefore they were at liberty. They then left the (Nice. The names of several of the leaders of the gang are In the posses sion of the Magistrates. A bullock was taken from Smithfield yesterday morning at ah early hour arid driven into the marshes. The whole of the patrol. horse and foot, went on duty at twelve o'clock yesterday forrilocn, it being market day. at MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TOM Cana b A NrW. CHARACTICIL—Three spruce tailors were charged with creating a disturbance, and assaulting Thomas Cribb, the Champion of England. Cribb deposed, that on Saturday night the defendants came into his house, where they partook of some liquor. After a few minutes they commenced a disturbance, when he requested them to be quiet; but instead of paying any attention, they each swore at him, and challenged him to fight; 3ud one of them, being put-valiant, struck him, which example was followed by the others, who insisted on his having a turn with them ; when a person said, " No, Cribb, for Gon's sake do not strike the three tailors, who ate only the third part of a man ;" when the astonished tailors, on hearing his nam e mentioned, took up their clothes, and ran quickly out of the house ; but Cribb, determining to tench them better, pursued, and lodged them in the hands of the watchman. ..-..--. ..... Sir Geoang Fmtsair—Diel they heat you? Cribb (imiling)— No ; their blows were something like themselves—of little im portance. Sr G. F.tan,sor—Did you return the blow ? Cribb—No, Sir, for 1 was afraid of hurting them, which I should not like to do. The tailors, in their defence said, they were sorry for what had cecurred, but at the time they were not aware that the person whom they had challenged to fight was the champion ; but, on finding their mistake, they instantly drew in their horns. Sir G. Essitswr—Aye, you thought you had better try the light ness of your heels, than feel the weight of his hands. Cribb declined making any charge against them, and they were discharged on paying their• fees: BIARY-LA-BONNE. Richard Thompson was charged with obtaining Is. 6d. under the pretence that he was a police officer. He called, it seems, at a Mrs. Menzies's, and asked fur Elielbetli Cecil, who was engaged at washing ; and producing a staff, and' saying he was a Mary-la-bonne officer, and held a warrant for her apprehension. for stealing a can dlestick, shirt, and pair of Stockings, from her late landlady, a Mrs. Paulson, he was invited in, and consented to let Cecil eat some bread and cheese before he catrkd her away, he himself partaking of the repast. He in conversation said he saw Mrs: Cecil was an injured woman, and be would make the matter up U is. 6d. was given to him. This was complied with, although Cecil felt confident in her innocence ; and ultimately it was discovered Thompson was not an officer, and no warrant had been issued. The defendant said it was a conspiracy against him: He was eight years in a solicitor's office, and could not so have conducted hinuelf.—Committed. 11 A RRIED.

A THEATRICAL WARPROIfrikVOIRift Vol. ,east; a respectable looking man, was charged with having in his possession a sack, containing a heterogeneous collection of articles, and not satisfactorily accounting for them. John Beaumont, a watchman, stated, that between ten and twelve on Sunday night, he was on his beat, when he saw the prisoner pass him, having on his back a sack; he followed him, and asked him what he had in it ? The prisoner replied, that it contained wearing apparel. The hour being a suspicious one, and the prisoner not ap pearing desirous to account for himself, he was taken to the watch. house. The sack was opened, and was found to contain a variety of articles, among which were two theatrical robes (regal ones), a great quantity of tinsel for the ornamental part, several pair of ladies' shoes, ladies' gloves, frills, louoces, &c. two b ooks (" The Decame roll, Boccaccio;" and Stevens's Lecture on Heads.") Mr. BRODRRIP asked the prisoner to whom these things belonged ? The prisoner replied that they were the property of his brother, a tailor, in Maddox-street, Regent-street; he himself was a car penter, and resided on Tower-hill. Mr. lisoomm—Are your brother's goods under execution ? Prisoner—l do not know. Mr. Sammy—Where is he? Prisoner—ln the Fleet Prison. Mr. Ilamilatr—Did he ever work for a Theatre?

Sept. 17, at his residence, 42, Rankeillor.street, Edinburgh, Captain John Fraser, formerly of the 421 Royal Highlanders : after a period of sixteen years severe suffering, resulting from an injnry received in action with the enemy. This esteemed and much re spected Officer served thirty-nine years in the 42d, was twice wounded, and was present with the Regiment on every service in which it was employed during that long period, in America, Hol land, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, and expedition to Walcheren, on which latter service be accompanied his Regiment, although only convalescent from a severe wound he received at the battle of Corunna, where he was struck in the bead by a musket ball, cans ing a fracture of the skull, and concussion of the brain,which, cow bined with a severe attack of the Wakheren fever, terminated in a paralytic affection in 1810, and compelled him to retire front a pro fession and corps to which he was ardently and affectionately de voted, beloved and regretted by his brother Officers, and every soldier of his distinguished Regiment.

Mr. &warm having examined some of the papers which were in the sack, asked the prisoner if he knew the Lady to whom his brother was married ? Prisonee—No. The watchman said, that he had called at No. 4, Maddox street, to inquire about the things, and he understood that Mr. Dolman had lodged there three months ago, and that sortie things had remained after him ; and Mrs. Dolman tame there the even ing before, and had them packed up, and the servant, in the pre. sence of Mr.. Dolman, gave them to a man at the door; and among them, the servant said, there was a splendid dress, Judi ei player folks go in. Mr. /Jammu, ordered the things to be detained until Insanity was made. In about half an hour afterwards Mr. Dolman came to the 011 ice, and, on the application of Mr. Evans, stating, that Mt. Dolman hat been made a bankrupt. and the articles in the bag were a few which bad remained, and for which be would be accountable to his assignees, the regal robes, and the other contents of the sack, were given into his possession. APPLE STEALING.—A lad named Hi ll, of the parish of Haddenham, appeared before the Magiurates, at Aylesbury, to answer the complaint of George Leaver, of the same place, for stealing apples. Tie charge against the young r•ffender was fully made out by a wit• ness on the Fart of Leaver, who saw Hill knock down some apples in "'Squire Franklin's orchard" which, it appeared, Leaver had purchased, and six or seven apples were found in his pocket. The apples were valued at one penny, and the expenses attendant on the case, three shillings! which amount was paid by a brother of the offender, and he was discharged. Mr. CAMPBELL has published a long vindication of himself. According to his statement the letter ad dressed is genuine on which he bas acted, and he fur ther adds, that he has personally known Lord COMMUNE{ for several years past, and visited him when he was confined in the King's Bench. A paragraph in his vindication is as follows :—'" The whole of my conduct in this business has been open and candid, li eral, as well as economical. I refused more than 200 pe sons, who were ready to pay money down, becathe they were not calculated for the service. I engaged others on credit, who were fully qualified ; and I have now at my disposition many Officers and Gentlemen of the greatest consequence to the cause, but who will not embark in it except they are accompanied by myself." In consequence u f the long interval between the recent early harvest, and the demand for field work in the spring, it is generally apprehended that a great number of agricultural labourers throughout the country will become burdensome to their respective parishes. The burden is likely still more to be augmented about Ayles bury and many other parts of the county of Bucks, from the rapid decline of the lace trade, which hid used to afford such profitable employ to the female inhab tantr. With a view to alleviate the apprehended suffering and pressure, we understand the Select Vestry of Aylesbury, At their meeting on Tuesday last, resolved to lay in a store of coals to the amount of 100 tons, in order that they should be delivered out, at cost price, in such quart , cities, and to such poor families, as they shall direct, during the nr.nths of November, December, January, and February.
