MELANCHOLY .ACCIDENT• The accounts Which have appeared in the Papers of the lamentable accident on. the River to Mr. Brown, R.N. and two other individuals, on Sunday last, are in accurate in most of the particulars. A Coroner's In quest was held on Tuesday, at Padfeet, near Essex, upon the body of one of the unfortunate sufferers, when the following circumstances were stated in evidence: _ _ . Mr. Lynch, a feather-merchant in Moorfields, and his wife, had been for some days on a visit to the family of Mr. Brown, the Master Intendant of Woolwich Dock Yard, whose son, a fine youtbnf about eighteen, a Mid shipman in the Royal Navy, returned to England from a foreign station, about a month ago, in the Briton fri gate. Sunday morning it was proposed to take a sail in A small sloop-rigged pleasure vessel, of about four teen tons, for merly belonging to the Commissioners of the Dock Yard, and as soon •as the tide setved, Mr. Brown, jun. Mr. Lynch, and Mr. Burleigh, of Wool wich, accompanied by a labouring man who is em ployed in the Docks, (an old man of war's man) to assist, set sail down the river with a westerly wind. Mrs. Lynsh was to have accompanied them, but suddenly became rather unwell, and declined the trip. The boat reached G:eenhithe (where.the writer of this statement saw them) about twelve o'clock, and after taking some refreshments at Mr. Sharpe's, the White Dart Tavern; they again got under weigh, intending to return to Woolwich to dinner. This was about half-past one o'clock. The wind blew fresh, and by the advice of the Greenhithe watermen, they took a single reef in the mainsail. They turned up as far as abreast of Putfieet, when the wind freshened still mere, and was very puffy, and by the advice of the man ofwar's man, they lay tr, to take in a second reef. Mr. Blown was then at the helm, and very properly kept the boat's head well in the wind for some moments; but, unhappily, before the task of taking in the reef was completed, he put the helm a-weather, the sails filled, and a strong puff coming just at that moment, she went on her beam ends, and sunk almost instantly. The man of war's man, finding the boat sinking, sprung from her side, and being a tolerable swimmer, struck out strongly, and was picked up by some watermen, who put off as speedily as possible from Purfleet. Mr: Brown and Mr. Burleigh went down with the boat, and were not seen after. Mr. Lynch, who lost an arm some years ago by an accident, and had a sub s titute of cork, swam for some time, and then sunk, but having again risen to the surface, he was taken up by some waterman, and carried' ashore, life, however, had fled. No medical aid could be procured at a less distance than four mijes, and, before that could arrive, all hope of resuscitation was, of course, at an end. The watermen, and several ships' boats, dragged for the bodies of Messrs. Brown and Burleigh during the whole of Monday, but in vain. The Coroner's Jury returned. a verdict of—Accidentally drinimed. Mr. Brown was a fine young man, and had just served the usual time as midshipman to enable him to pass for Lieutenant. It is rather singular that the Briton, in which he served, after her arrival in the river, was anchored for some days close abreast at Puriees. - The Dart, Captain Face, has arrived from South America, having, amongst other freight, about forty tons of copper ore from the Bolivar Mines. Letters from Odessa to the 21st of August, state that tro favourable result was expected from the conferences at Ackermann, as the Turkish Commissioners had or ders to insitt on the restoration of the Asiatic fortresses, and the Russian ones were commanded not even to suffer the question to be raised. Yesterday, whilst three men were engaged pulling down some old houses in the Dover-road, Bermondsey, for the erection of a new Chapel, one of the floors gave way, and buried them in the rubbish. They were dug out in a dreadful state, and taken to the Hospital. Mr. GRERN ascended in his balloon, accompanied by a young Lady named SPOONER, at Bolton, on Monday, and descended in safety at Chadderion, near Oldham. A number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, many of them married, base been lately annoyed by certain circulars which are sent to them on their arrival in town. The following is a copy of one of them " Should happen to be at this time in town, and tould make it convenient to condescend to call on the Lady as per en closed card, in the courses"( to-morrow afternoon, a communication to confance, pertaining to another, may be expected of an assured interestiug, as frtbumed grateful, nature." " Tuesday evening." The card Is—" 31. Le Roy, W, Old Cavendish-stmet." The London Sessions *ere held yesterday, but the business was confined to one or two a s saults not worth notice. ILAMSGATE, SSPT. 11. This plate is quite gay, from the variety of company and the number of yachts, as well as other shipping, whlrb have been driven into the harbour through stress of weather. The most conspicuous yachts are those of Sir W. Curtis, the Trinity buoy yacht, and Sir Godfrey Websters. The latter yesterday bade a very splendid displiy.of Hags in. tbe rigging, which drew down mul titudes of the Cockney tribe to inspect it and make their critic a 1 feiharks.—Lord Harborough left this place last week in his beautiful yacht; but having encountered some severe gale;, in which he lost his fore -mast, he has, been obliged to take refuge in the harbour of Margate, to repair. The weather has been so boisterous of late, that the small craft have been wrecked on the Goodwin Sands, and nothing but peti tions are going about, to relieve the shipwrecked mariners. One vessel (the Eliza and Jane), from Wales, laden with tin and Iran, was a 'complete wreck ; but fortunately no lives Were lost. The Captain's wife was lashed up in the rigging fdr many hours, Until boats went off to rescue her, and many others At the ere*. The hull may be seen at low water, and every effort is making to rescue her cargo. Two or three fishing boats, which went off to her as sistance, got stove in, and Were lost. Yesterday above 200 men were working at her, to save what they could. Na less than three or four wrecks have taken place oh the French coast, near Calais. The live stock on board the whole appears to have been abandoned, and yet few boats liked to venture out in pbrsuit of the poor animAs. A Vessel laden with granite, for the new church at Margate, from 'Devonshire, has been wrecked ; and. I am sorry to say, that all the crew except one have been consigned to a watery grave. ALLIANCE GRANITE AND CHINA CLAY comPANY. --..•-- Yesterday, an adjourned Meeting of Scripholders was held at Batson's Coffee-house, Cornhill, for the purpose of taking into consideration what legal proceedings ought to be adopted against the projectors of the Company and others, in order to the recovery of the deposits paid. Mr. CLARK, the Chairman, expressed his regret that the meeting was so thinly attended, notwithstanding the importance of its object. Before entering on the imme diate subject for consideration, he took occasion to ad vert to a circumstance which related to the British Iron Company. It was said by a certain Gentleman that he (Mr. Clark) had threatened the Directors of that Asso ciation, unless they agreed to admit him as a Proprietor. Now this was a most unfounded imputation. All he had said to the person who informed him that no shares were to be transferred to his name, was, that he would expect an explanation of the grounds of this refusal, or that he would call a meeting to elicit one. As to the business of the present meeting, the facts of the case were too well known to require much recital or discussion. The most prominent feature in the transaction was, that property in Devonshire was purchased by an individual for 1501. and sold by him to the Company for 2,1001. The Gentlemen who went to inspect the ground, found it was nothing but a barren and unproductive spot. In fact the whole proceedings of the Company were very similar to those of the Cornwall and Devonshire Mining Associa tion. It was even said that there never was a prospectus issued, but that the entire scheme was set on foot for the purpose of fraud ; and some of those who concocted it were concerned in so many other similar transactions, that they went by the name of the Lothbury Gang, their house of meeting having been at Lothbury. As he understood that some of the Directors were willing to get rid of the business, he would propose the' appoint ment of a Committee empowered to confer with the Directors, in order to bring the matter to as satisfac tory a termination as the circumstances of the case would admit. After some conversation, it was resolved that a Committee, eon 'fasting of Messrs. Clark, Scurr, and Chandler, should be appointed for the purpose of adopting such legal measures as might be deemed advisable, and that a subscription of five shillings per share should be entered tato for the purpose of carrying those measures int, effect. EXECUTION AT LANCASTER. Saturday, Patrick Rajerty, aged 22, convicted of having robbed Mr. Dennis Clipsham, on the highway, near Manchester, and John Wainwright, aged 28, for assaulting and stabbing Thomas Pomfret and Joseph Moors, with intent to disable them, were both executed on the drop behind the Castle at Lancaster. Thursday, Rafferty was visited by his wife, who had come over from Rathone, in Ireland, the native place of her hus. band, to take her leave of him. Wainwright was a native of Ashton; he was also visited by his wife on Friday, and their parting was extremely affecting. The prisoners partook of the Sacrament about 11 o'clock, and at 12 o'clock were brought on the fatal scaffold.— The platform on which the unfortunate men stand is divided in the middle, and hangs upon hinges, so that one half falls on each side, and each is upheld by a screw or bolt at each end of the drop. After the Chaplain had read the burial service, the executioner proceeded to turn the handle, by which the bolts at each end of the platform are withdrawn; but in consequence of the two halves of the platform not being placed ex actly square, only one of the bolts was unfastened, and of course only one half of the platform fell. It hap. Ipened that both the men were standing upon the half which remained, and were consequently left standing. They were evidently much agitated by this unfortunate circumstance, for each pact of the platform being heavy, the fall caused the whole machine of death to vibrate, and the wretched criminals were apparently petrified with horror. Two men instantly went down to assist the executioner, and the remaining part of the platform, on which they were standing, was then forcibly hurled down, and they were both launched into eternity. Their sufferings seemed to be of a very short duration. After they had hung for an hour, they were taken down, and the body. of Wainwright was given to his friends. who were waiting to take it away. Rafferty was buried in the evening at Lancaster. • The duty on tar imported is now chargeable by the imperial gallon, and orders have been given to make an abatement of one-sixth part of the duties on barrels of the same dimensions and description as have invariably been imported. The mariufacture of straw bonnets, after the manner of the Leghorits, proceeds with great spirit in Or kney, and gives employment to upwards of 1000 people.— They are made of straw raised in the Island, and have been declared by competent judges not. inferior to those from Italy. A Rev. Doctor, remarjcable for his suavity of man ners, in a country parish not 100 miles from Grooms BUCHANAN'S monuntent, was one Sunday, very lately, exhorting his beloved flock, and describing in the strongest and most glowing terms the happiness of Heaves. He said he could compare it to no thing but the bkuings of matrimony, and the pleasures of the happy fireside, graced by a lovely, having, and beautiful wife.— He took occasion from this to descant on the duty of young men marrying soon, and relieving the dreariness of their situations by a young and handsome bride. He said, that though they possessed all the wealth in the world, and were 'lusters or all the gems of the Indies, yet i lithey were not married, they still wanted the most nimble gem of . t 5 -se. agreeable wile. • tEIEATRWALS. • Last night a new Farce was produced at the Hay market Theatre, called Aorta Wong. It was a dramatic version of the old anecdote which is told of a conjuror condemned to die, and who sgires his life by predicting that he shall expire two.days before the person who has sentenced him to death. LISTON laboured with all his comic abilities to support the part of Pang Wong, a Chinese Emperor, who has condemned to death Ting' Ting, the son of his Vizier, and the whole humour of the Farce turns upon the endeavour of Pong Wong to save the life of this Ting Ting, after having been in formed that his own death would folllw that of his in tended victim. Madame VESTRIS had one or two songs; which she sang sweetly, though the music was but indifferent. There was no lack of stale puns, and attempts at wit, by one of the characters talking about •" catching hold of the tail of a Comet," being " uncle to the Moon," putting "a Star into his pocket," and other ridiculous nonsense. Mr. VINING stepped for ward, amidst a great uproar, to announce Pong Wong for a second performance; but he was not heard. Drury Lane Theatre opens with the Play of the Wonder, a new Ballet Divertisentent, and the Mari iacre of Figaro: in the latter piece Miss TREE and Mr. HOOPER make their first appearance in Susanna and Count Almaviv . a, and Mrs. Atlanta her re-appearance in the Countess. Der Freischute, with the new scenery, will be the second night's performance. A new musical afterpiece, called Ihe White Lady, will be immediately produced. It is taken from La Dante Blanche, which is borrowed from Sir WALTER SCOTT. The Oracle is abandoned at this Theatre, and in its stead, an entirely DEW Opera, in WhiCb BRAHAM and Miss STEPHENS Will appear, will be brought out by the middle of October. Miss AMATt, a pupil of the late Mr. D. CORSI, is en gaged. She will shortly make her debut in Den Giovanni. The negotiation with Mr. SALTER, of the Liverpool Theatre, who was to have succeeded Mr. MACRRADY, is broken off. Peveril, an Opera, by POCOCK, the music by Hoax, will be one of the forthcoming novelties at Covent Garden theatre. The character and incidents are taken from Sir WM:MI Score's Novel of Peveril of she Peak. MORTON'S new Comedy will not be produced at this Theatre until after Christmas. The principal serious and comic performers will be employed in this drama. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, &mum IS. HARVEY V. HASTINGS. This motion was for all injunction to restrain the de fendants from proceeding to drain the river Welland. It stood over from a former day, that dates might be supplied. The supplemental affidavit on the part of the plaintiff, stated that the work complained of began in August last. Counter affidavits, however, had been filed,. which stated that the work had been going on for years; and further, that if the defendants did anything contrary to the Act of Parliament, under which the work was going on, that Act itself authorised the plain tiff to put an end to it, and which this Court thought a pretty good injunction. Under all the circumstances, the Court thought it right to dismiss the motion, with casts. STEVENS V. EUTTERWORTIL Notice of a motion for an injunction was given to-day to restrain the defendant from publishing or selling a book called Advice to Solicitors in the passing of Bills through Parliament, with copies of the Standing Orders of the House, &c. on the ground of piracy. The defend ' ant did not appear, and the injunction was granted at once. His Lordship, in a joking way, said, he was not sure that it was not a breach of privilege to publish the " Standing Orders of the House of Parliament," and therefore he would make an order granting the injunc tion, subject to the question, whether both parties ought not to be committed, on that ground, and also himself. IN THE MATTER OP HART, A BANKRUPT. The question in this matter was, whether the costs of bringing the bankrupt, who had been committed before the Commissioners, were to come from, there being no estate. The bankrupt was in Newgate in London, and the Commissioners resided in Lancashire. His LORDSHIP considered the case a fit one for fur ther examination, and eventually ordered the bankrupt to be brought up again before the Commissioners at his (the Lord Chancellor's) own expense, if there were no other funds for the purpose; or if any other arrange ment could not be entered into for the liberation of the poor man. His Lordship also observed, that he thought it would be a great improvement if the water mark were to be put on both sides of sheets of paper. His Losses', beard several other things, and tben said, he was very happy to sit as long as be could make anything like a good use of his bead ; but he felt really now quite tired. He should, conse quently, not see any person on business after to-day, for this season; and, wishing all present health and happiness till November, he rose. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sari, 13. Robert Elplein Bligh7M - Of Berkeley-square, de. scribed in his petition as a Captain on half-pay, in the 103 d Regiment of Foot (commonly known as Colonel Blip), was opposed by Mr. PoLLocx, on behalf of the executors of a defunct person named Taylor. Messrs. RUTH and Cooler appeared for the petition. A question was put to the Learned Gourmet for the opposition, whether he appeared for Earl Darnley, as that Nobleman's name was inserted in the opposition book. Mr. PIDLLOCE said, that he was instructed on the part of Ms Noble Client to disavow the claim of £6OO put against his name in the Schedule (No. 24.) Captain Bligh said, in answer to questions put by the opposing Counsel, that he bad an interest in some funded property in. the Irish Si per Cents. which was nearly, if not quite, altogether unencumbered: Mr. Pottocx said, be was insttucted on behalf of the executors of Taylor to apply for a portion of the Captain's ball-pay, which amounted to ,LP92 a year. _ _ _ Mr. HEATH wished his Learned Friend would look to the amount of debt on the schedule, and then state how much he would deduct to make the least fractional dividend from that source. The insolvent, to further interrogatories, stated, that he had given up all his property, and when he had sworn to his schedule, his only income was his half pay. He is in ill health, and frequently under the necessity of procuring medical aid. Mr. Commissioner LAW said, that where advanced age and infirmity were apparent, the Court would not act as in the case of a young man who had no corre sponding claims to consideration. In the present case, the Court would make no order at present. After some further discussion, Captain Bligh was told, that he might come up for his discharge on Wednesday next, the 18th inst.

Mr. Courtenay made both matches, and his groom boy rode the saddle. His master drove as follows :—The first mile in four minutes three se conds (having once to back the wheels through breaking into a gallop), the second in three minutes thirty-five seconds, and the third in three minutes thirty-eight seconds, winning the match tolerably easy four seconds under the given time. 1 1 2 3 3 2 4 dr 5 tit REGATTA.

The pedestrian did the first eight miles to four minutes within the hour, and the silteen was done seven minutes under the two hours. The thirty-two miles were accomplished in four hours aid five minutes. The pedestrian halted and refreshed at Uxbridge, - and won the match easy, with three minutes to spare. BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 12. --.e•-- A very dreadful fire took place at Crowland about two o'clock on Sunday afternoon last, which raged with unabated fury until yesterday morning, when it was so far subdued as to prevent its spreading any further. It originated in a stack of fen fodder, on the premises of Mr. Joshua Fletcher, of that place, taking fire, through being put together in too wet a state, which soon com municated to an oat stack adjoining, and from thence caught the neighbouring houses in South-street. Not withstanding the immediate attendance of the Crowland fire engine (those from Spalding, Thotney, and Peter borough, were prepared with the greatest expedition), it is lamentable to add that the scarcity of water in the neighbourhood prevented the engines being adequately supplied • the flames, therefore, raged with dreadful fury, and we ate sorry to say that twelve houses, some barns, and several stacks of corn and hay were entirely consumed. What is still more lamentable is, that most of the houses were occupied by poor labouring people, whose cries were dreadful in the extreme, as by this accident their little furniture was destroyed, as well as the corn they had industriously gleaned during the late harvest. The flames raged with such unbounded fury, as to be distinctly seen a distance of ten miles so early as seven o'clock on Sunday evening. Susswr.—The sweet autumnal nowt of yerrerday, evening, which was by several persons supposed to be the most glorious ever wit. nessed here, had its attractive interest pkasingly enhanced by the early and very imposing appearance bf the planet Venus, whilst she smilingly commingled her enlivening ray with the golden beams of the Fountain of Lien. DREADFUL SUIPWRECK. Wednesday last, a Greenland vessel named the Esk, and bound to Whitby, came on shore, during a tre mendous gale, about eleven o'clock at night, nearly a mile from the village of Redcar, and adjoining to Mar sk. The life-boat was promptly obtained from Redcar, and several individuals, at the imminent danger of their owa lives, fearlessly hastened on board, ancfput off towards the vessel, with the hopes of thus saving loase of their fellow creatures from a watery grave; but, after many fruitless attempts to gain the vessel, in which therwete as frequently driven back.by the boisterous billows, and not having sufficient hands on board to manage the boat, they were reluctantly compelled to give up the hope of affording the wretched crew any assistance from that source. The ill-fated •essel kept beating against the rocks, &c. until nearly five o'clock the next mousing, when she parted completely in two, and the crew, consisting of twenty-seven persons, were instantly precipitated into the foaming deep. Twenty three of I these unhappy beings soon found a watery grave The Captain and three of the sailors were washes on shore; every attention was paid to them, and the sailors soon recovered, but the Captain, crs arriving within a few yards of the shore, was so severely struck by a log of timber which had floated from the wreck, that on being taken up on the beach life was found extinct. The Elk had on board fifty tuns of oil, seal skins, &c. &c. Several of the casks containing oil have floated en shore, and tie vessel is now a complete wreck. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
