RoMNEY, SEPT. 30..--A meeting which was an nounced to take place at our Town Hall, on Thursd ly next, to petition against any alteration in the Corn Laws, was postponed sine die, oa Tuesday, by hand bills. It is generally supposed that the fate of the m .et log at Andover prevented the Meeting. - The Select Vestry of Aylesbury resolved, on Thurs day, to lay in 100 tons of coals, to be delivered at cost Dice to poor families during the winter months. The Governor of Oxford Workhouse has decamped with one thr usand pounds. A verdict of 2001. damages was awarded in the Su preme Court, New South Wales, against Kenn, com mander of the William Shand, for putting a steerage passenger in irons during the voyage from England, in consequence of some dispute between them. A horse in one of the Paddington stages, on Satur day, fell down near the New Church, Mary-la-bonne, having both its hind legs broken, owing to the inhuman conduct of the driver! At a Petty Sessions held at Dungarvon, on Saturday sennight, Colonel CURREY acquainted the Court and the people in attendance, that it wacthe intention of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE A that the aulom payable to his' Grace on potatoes coming into the market, should no longer be required or taken, a concession which his Grace was induced to make in consideration of the pm sure of the times, and for the convenience of the people generally. The intimation was received with pleasure. Many years since a Virginian nightingale was kept by a family near Bolton, and the cage, during the night, suspended without-side of the window that aced the garden. In consequence of the notes of its inhabitant, the wild nightingales, of which there were plenty in the vicinity, were collected together, probably to outvie the song of the imprisoned bird, for the cif): is on both sides were unceasing. The fact was publicly known by a number of persons,whe were attracted by this nocturnal and strongly contested melody. YORK, SEPT. SO.-We are glad to observe, that the improvement in our manufacturing districts continues gradually to proceed, and that a similar beneficial change is also taking place in Scotland. Though much distress still exists, and must of necessity remain for some time, yet the slow improvement now operating will have the beneficial effect of divesting the approach ing winter of much of its anticipated horrors. The transition from a state of languor to a state of great activity in the woollen and wonted stuff manufactures, has been more sudden in Leeds and Bradford than could have been expected. We cannot help thinking that, with prudence and moderation, trade will be good and even brisk during the approaching winter. The stocks in the hands of the merchants and manufacturers are, we believe, unusually low ; few goods have been sent abroad for the last ten months, and money enough will be found to carry on our transactions, both at home and abroad, if that money can be profitably employed. PRIVILEGED THIEVING.—The following passage in DIODORUS &CULLS displays a curious example of early police, which seems to have been studied by the gentry who deal in stolen notes and bankers' parcels:— " The Saptians have a very singular law respecting thieves. Those who are disposed to follow this way of life, are obliged to have their names entered in the register of the bead or chief of the thieves : to whom it is understood that they are to bring directly, and without delay, whatever they have stolen. Those who have been robbed are likewise required to specify to him in writing, what they have lost, stating the place from whence, and the day and hoar when it was taken away. In this manner all the effects are recovered without trouble, and the person who has been robbed, after paying a fourth of their value, gains possession of them.' For since it was found to be impossible wholly to put a stop to the practice of thieving, a way was found out by the legislator of recovering Id* was lost on the payment of a moderate prim of redagstiosa" BRIGHTON, Ocrosaft h ' A hook has been engaged fait Lord CHATHANI and"faMily, ott , tiVe Marine Parade; and the Prince and Kittens Livens and suite, who arrived yesterday, have taken poslession of Belle Yue House, on the King's Road. The Portuguese AmbasSador, the Marquis PALNRALA, who came in yesterday, is remaining at the Royal York Hotel. The 'Duke and Duchess of Laustrraa are continuing with the Earl of HARRINGTON; the Duchess of NIWCANTLR is their neat door neighbour. Lord Pseaastraar paid a visit to the venerable Earl, his father, last week, but has since left us. The Russian Prince Goarenacors is remaining at the Royal York Hotel, where the Karl of Gil/WALL arrived last night—the latter is also looking oat for a family residence. Lady ilimmeas, and Doctor and Mrs. GOODENOUGH, were the departures for town from the above Hotel this morning. We have bad a damp morning, but a pleasant afternoon. The band of the sth Hussars have been harmoniously employed on the Sterne, and the evening confluence of p romena d er* h as em b race d the leading personages of Toe in the place. BRISTOL, OCTOBER 2. We regret to state, that a breach of the pease occurred I , in this city on Saturday last, by the ship carpenters, who have been for some time out of employ. It was not at tended with any great violence; but if the parties as saulted had been mere powerful, or there had been any thing like a party of numbers, a serious and dangerous breach of the peace might have occurred. It seems, that some time ago, the master shipwrights wished to reduce the wages of their journeymen is. a day ; the men would only submit to a reduction of sixpence, as neither party would concede to anything further, the men struck, and several advertisements have appeared in the papers from both parties. So far each acted in the spirit of the laws passed on the reveal of the Com bination Laws, the masters combined to fix a maximum on the wages they would give, and the journeymen com bined to fix a maximum of the wages they would re ceive. It seems that three men had given great um brage to their fellow-workmen, by accepting the re. duced wages; they therefore watched their lodgings, and on Saturday morning about six o'cicck succeeded in intercepting one of them on his way to his work. They immediately elevated him on their shoulders, and forming themselves into a procession, paraded through the streets of the city, and the parish of Bedminster, for two or three hours. An outrage of this kind ought not to have been tolerated for a moment. The journeymen are greatly misinformed, if they think that the repeal of the Combination Laws simply removed the impediments to their assembling to agree what rate of wages they would receive; it also gave any single journeyman the power of dissenting from their regulations. It gave him the power of selling his labour at whatever price he chose to accept; and it specially protects those who take less than the regulated scale of wages from any interference or violence on the part of their fellow•labourers. The Journeymen must not think we entertain any unkindly feelings towards them, because we deprecate their using acts of violence towards each other. Unless outrages of this description are repressed, not only is the liberty of the subject violated, but, what is of much' consequence, the peace of society at large is en dangered. Both are under the protection of the Ma gistrates, who have laws for the rule of their conduct towards. offenders of this description. But we have another m.)tive for reprobating their violence ; it is to caution them against giving those who betrayed so much jealousy at the , repeal of the Combination Laws, any handle for applying to the Government for the re-enact ment of them. Evidence of violence like that on Saturday, would deprive their best friends of some of the strongest arguments hitherto used in their favour. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.-•-•SHAKSPEARS'S gedy of Julius Ccesar was performed at this Theatre lase night, to a brilliant and crowded audience. Mr. Yonno, in the part of Brutus, played with his accustomed ability ; in the principal scenes he was very effective, and received great . applause. Mr. WA ROE played Gas. sius (for the first time in London). His performance throughout was marked with much d;scrimination--it was a highly spirited piece of acting. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Marc Anthony was, as usual, excellent. The pelile Co medy of Clearks the Second followed, in which Messrs. C. KEMBLE, FAWCETT. JONES, titc. played their parts with much spirit and effect. They wet e powerfully as sisted by Miss M. GLoirsa, who has improved much since her first appearance: Theatrical performances seem to be losing specula tions not only in this country, but even in France. Of all the Parisian theatres not two are profitable, and many of the proprietors are in a state of insolvency. The Porte St. Martin Theatre, notwithstanding its monkey (Mazurier) and its monster (Cooke), has been so unprofitable, that the enterprising proprietor and manager, M. Merle, who is the author of some score or two successful vaudevilles, has been compelled to sell out, and the treasury of the theatre was in so ex hausted a state, that Ellar the Harlequin, Paulo the Clown, and two others, who were engaged at a salary of N. per week each, have returned to England without having performed at all, the managers having frankly assured them that they were unable to pay the salaries agreed upon. The state of theatrical property in Eng land is wretched beyond description. Many of the large towns which supported a theatre three or four months in the year, do not now encourage even a week's acting, and in many of the places where theatres are open, the performers are almost starving. SHOCKING ACCIDENTS.—Sunday evening, as a young lady in the Commercial-road was dressing to join a party, her clothes unfortunately caught the fire as she passed by to another part of the room, and in a moment she was enveloped in flames. The servant, on hearing her scream, immediately came to her assistance, and with great presence of mind threw a piece of carpet round her, which completely extinguished the fire, but not until she was so dreadfully burnt, that little h opes: are entertained of her recovery.—John Wright, an as sistant labourer at St. James's Palace, was moving a piece of stone towards the centre of the roof, when he suddenly fell with the piece of stone into the area, a depth of more than seventy feet : one of his thighs was broken, and his agony, on lifting him up, was intense. Being placed on a shutter he was carried to the West. minster Hospital, where the broken thigh was pro nounced to be so serious, as in all probability to re quire amputation. CARMEN.—It is not perhaps generally known, that by a recent Act of Parliament, Carmen and others are compelled, under a heavy penalty, to keep to the side of the road, and not to run their carts in the centre, when meeting a carriage. This Act, if put in force, would operate to put down the obstinacy and pettinacity of carmen, as any spirited individual now has it in his power to bring the offender before a Magistrate and have him punished. It is repotted that the 64-gun man of war, building at Marseilles for the service of the Pacha of Egypt, on her being hunched, fell on her broadside, and bilged. SPORTING INTELLIGIINCE.

TROTTING MATCH. A match for £OO son. was attempted yesterday morning, on the Staines road, by a Gentleman named Bullock, who undertook to produce a mare to do fifteen miles in an hour and three minutes, in a lofty vehicle driven by a youth, weighing seven stone. The mare did the first five miles in 20 minutes, after once backing the whesis for galloping. She kept steady at her work, doing each mile within a few seconds of four minutes, under or over, and the tenth mile was completed in 40 minutes and five seconds. when she began to fret, and made two breaks from the trot in the twelfth mile. The hour and three minutes bad expired when the mare was within 200 yards of home, and the match was consequently lost. Mr. Bullock then offered to match his mare for 100 sows. to trot the match spin in the course of a month. CURIOUS ROWING MATCH. Tbelliver, between Westminster Bridge and Vauxhall, presented an animated scene yesterday, in consequence of a rowing match be tween sixteen fishermen, in their peter boats. Nelson, the Water. bailiff, had contrived to make up a purse, for which the rowers con tended with great spirit. The' firat bort was entitled to £5, the second £4, the third se3, the fourth £2, and the remaining boats to £1 each. The contending parties, in their clumsy boats, afforded considerable mirth to the lovers of aquatic novelty. DEVONSHIRE AND CORNWALL WRESTLERS. The wrestling among the Devonshire and Cornwall mechanics ,efident in London, for prizes given by Mr. Reuse, landlord of the Eagle Tavern, City-road, commenced yesterday morning, and eon. tinned till dusk, in the presence of a respectable muster of the amateurs of this athletic sport. On this occasion the natives of each county contended among themselves for the sums given, and not as before, county against county. The prises were—for the best of each county £5. for the second best £3, and for the third best £l. First double player for each county 10s. every other double player 5,. The men played according to the respective systems of their counties. The Cornish men without shoes or kicking, and the Devonshire men with shoes, and to kick as muck as they liked, their legs being covered with pads, to prevent the mis chief which would otherwise accrue. Tim Cornish men to be entitled to enter as double players, and to throw one man, and stand against another man for ten minutes without being thrown; and the Devonshire men had either to throw two men, or stand against two and throw one, which rules were mutually agreed upon, and each county bad its own umpires and referee. Among the players were most of those men who exhibited at the last meeting; but there were many new faces, and the sport upon the whole was kept up with great spirit. It is in contemplation to match a second rate Cornishman aphist Gaffney, the Irish Wrestler, so that his merits may be put to the test before be enters the lists with Abraham Cann, the Devonshire Champion. DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER SO. An accidental wound which Joseph Fade Goff; Esq. received by his gun exploding, has terminated fatally. The shot deprived hint of the sight of one eye, tore away part of his cheek, and a portico of his skull, notwithstanding which the unhappy result now men cloned was quite unexpected. The deceased, who was in the vigour of manhood, died at three o'clock on Monday, leaving his amiable Lady, and his family and friends, in a state of affliction more easy to be conceived than decribed.—ireaford Herald. One of the many accidents which too frequently occur from the incautious use of firearms, took place at the Hal, in the neighbrur hood of Mountcharles,county of Donegal, a few days ago. Two I di e cousins-german, the one sixteen years of age, the other about four teen, having procured a double-barrelled gun, went out together to amuse themselves with it.

The instructions from the Golden Foot-stool to the officers of the Burmese army, in which they are ordered to « seize, kill, and crush the rebel strangers who are in Prome," are in the true style of oriental sublimity.

A detachment sent to Prome succeeded, we are told, in carrying off " three muskets, two swords, and one pouch." What a booty!
