THE LATE LORD GIFFORIX The premature death of Lord Gifford will be a mat ter of deep regret to all who can appreciate those solid talents which are really valuable to a country, and who know how difficult it is to find that combination of, powers and attainments, which are necessary to consti tute a good Equity Judge. A Common Law Judge ought to be no ordinary personage; but a Judge in Equity has a much' more arduous duty- imposed upon him ; and, in the nature of his functions, has occasion for much more varied learn ing, a much more enlarged comprehension, a much gteater t capacity for reasoning, and for combining dis tinct series of inferences into one result, a much larger acquaintance with human transactions, and a higher degree of caution and circumspection. The death of a Judge, like Lord Gifford, is a loss, which, in times like these, is not easily supplied. His taltriti and virtues were the sole creators of Iris fortune; he WAS indebted for what be was to himself alone. Un aided by patronage, unsupported by connexion, he en tered upon the most arduous career that is open in this country to honourable industry. After a hard struggle, his sound learning, his patient and just understanding, his capacity for correct logical argument, enabled ham to outstrip tompetitors, who commenced the race with infinitely greater advantages, and who were even supe rior to him in specious, showy, and superficial talents. In 1817, the post of Solicitor-General having become vacant, the Ministers thought that they could not do better than select for that office onewho could not,indeed, boat of the patronage of great names, and had not de• elated from the walks of his profession into party poll t;cs, but who had proved himself to be already equal to the most arduous duties of his calling, and whose corn paratively early age, gave a promise of still greater excellence. The selection was not less honourable to those who made it, than to him who was the object of it. After filling for more than six years the offices, suc cessively, of Solicitor General and of Attorney General, to the duties of which he devoted himself more assi duously and more exclusively than has been usual in the profession, he was appointed Lord Chit f Justice of the Common Picas, and elevated to the Peerage. He remai:ted in the Common Pleas only a single Term, and upon the death of Sir T. Plumer *as appointed Master of the Rolls. Probably, no person in a judicial situation ever went through more severe labour than Lord Gifford did dining the last two years and a half; for, in addition to the business at the Rolls, and the sittings of the Privy Cuurcil at the Cockpit, the hearing of nearly all the Scotch Appeals in the Howe of Lords devolved upon him. Day after day he attended in the House of Lords from ten in the morning till between three and four in the afternoon; and immediately afterwards sat at the Rolls from six in the evening until ten, or half-past ten ; to say nothing bf the time which it was necessary to devote out of Com t to the consideration and examina. tion of the important matters which he had to decide. The universal approbation expressed by the Scotch (a people not easily deceived, whet e their rights cr interests are involved, and who at first were rather dissatisfied that their concerns should not be the peculiar cats of Lord Eldon) of the decisions of Lord Gifford, in the House of Lords, is a conclusive proof that he was equal to the highest judicial duties. As a Judge, he had all these qualities which best became the Judgment Seat; cautious, circumspect, 'mild, patient, free from bias, open to conviction, quick In apprehension, acute and accurate in reasoning.— Whenever the facts were complex, or the evidence con fused and contradictory, or the authorities numerous or obscure, and the distinctions between them subtle, there WAS no degree of labour from which he would shrink, that might enable him to be fully master of the case, or of any former decisions which might hear upon it. _ . His private virtues are best commemorated by the affection and regret of his surviving friends; and all were hi. friends who were brought into contact with him; for he was a man wl.o had not one quality which was not fitted to attract liking,or inspire regard. Mr!. CANNING arrived in town about five o'clock yesterday afternoon from Brighton. Forty villages in Hindostan, containing about 4000 inhabitants, have publicly renounced heathenism, and become con. setts to the Wesleyan millenaries. Halifax 'Papers have brought an account of the re ception of the Earl of DALHOUSIE on his return to his Government in Nova Scotia. It was of a most gratifying nature, all classes uniting to testify their attachment in an address of congratulation. The Bishop of Nova Scotia had been visiting every part of his Diocese, and had been treated every where with Mb highest respect. —The fullowintOrder has been issued by the Govern ment for exacting'the same rate of duty on the cargoes of American ships Entering the port of Halifax, as is charged on die cargoes of British ships in the ports of the United State:: Halifax, Aucust 6. At a Council held at GOvernment House on the 28th of July, 1826 ; present, his Excellency the Lieutenant Goverrwr, etc. Ilis rxcellency informed the Boat d, that he had received a re. preserAtion from the principal Officers of Isis Majesty's Customs, that British vessels entering the ports of the United States, were not only subject to the tonnage duty imposed upon American vessels 1:1 this port, but were also liable to discrisninating duty of tea per cent. upon their dtsties and their ca►goes. His' Eteellency, by the advice of his Majesty's Council. directed that the Collector of his Majesty's Customs should exact a similar discriininadkig duty of ten per cent. upon the duties on the cargoes of American vessels entering the port of Halifax: being in con. fit mity to his Majesty's order in Counbil on the Llat of July, rsa, and the practice at present pursued in other Colonies.

A short time ago, the widow of the late celebrated CHARLES Fox, happening to be in the neighbouthood of Windsor, was anxious to suhey the Royal Residence there.; and with this View she addressed a note to V'e Steward, or some other Offioer of the Royal Household, begging to know if strangers were admitted at that seas( nto inspect the Cistle. To this note, which bore the nanie and address of the writer. an answer was in stantly returned, intimating that the intended •isit of Mrs. Fox would be most agreeable at the Castle. The Lady accordinglcr set oat, and on her arrival was re caved with the inmost courtesy by the household servants, who 'conducted her through the various apart ments of the Royal Residence, and omitted nothing which could gratify the cariosity or excite the interest of the visitor. Having finished her inspection, Mrs. Fox was about to take her departure, when she was re quested by the attendant to step aside into one of the. private vooms for a few moments. After waiting a short time, the KING entered, and walking up to Mrs. Fox, with an air of the most condescending affability, took her by the hand, and expressed the high satisfac tion he felt in having this opportunity of paying hie respects to the widow of a late intimate and highly valued friend. Mrs. Fox was overcome at the Mo- MARCH'S condescension ; but the frank and easy manner of his LAttairsrx quickly restored her to her wonted composure. He inquired minutely into her present situation and circumstances, and though informed by Mrs. Fox that she had not been left altogether destitute by her late husband, his MAJMY kindly pressed upon her the acceptance of an annuity from his private purse ofsool.per annum,vihich we believe the Lady now enjoys., THE ARMY.

A Gentleman landed from the Silas Richards it Holyhead on Monday, and proceeded to London, Who is said to be the bearer of dispatches from Mr. WARD at Mexico. Their contents cannot yet, of course, have transpited, but it is probable they relate to an affair mentioned in a private letter trona Mexico. A Gentle man held in that city the agency for a mercantile house in London, between whom and the Government some transactioas had taken place, in the adjustment of which some dispute arose. The Government, to secure itself, had meditated a sequestration of all the property in Mexico which belonged to the Agent,pho hadiarotested against a step which he-considered unjust, and! to secure his personal liberty, had taken refuge in the house of Mr. WARD. The protection thus afforded had given umbrage to the Mexican Executive, and Mr. WARD, . . it is Said , in the a•terCatton which followed, threatened to demand his passports and leave Mexico before the point wiis given up. The whole affair, however, is very vaguely related, and we mug depend for its explanation on fuller and more authentic accoents. Wednesday week was forwarded to 'tile Right Hon.

The first, whieS we shall more particularly detail us ottr Readers, was between Bishop Sharpe, the Kentish Smoggier, and Alec Reed, the Chelsea Snob, for 504 aside. The road to the scene of action presented a more lively aspect than usual ; such an immense variety of equipages and toddler* being in motion, as to 'remind the old hug goers of that peeled, when a fight was at least as attractive as an ezrcution. j Reed, whe was backed by a " Matchless" swell, startedyer bra rouche and touts on Monday, and reached Coiner Hatch, where, at the sign of the White Swan, he passed the night. His Reverence the Bishop also began to progress on Monday, and, under the protection of Josh Hudson, duffed his mitre, and domed hie night cap, at the Bull at Harpenden. At noon on Tuesday an immense body of the Fancy, among whom were many of its oldeit and best supporters, assembled round the ring at Noman's Land. Reed first appeared within the stakes and ropes, with Tom Crib and Uncle Ben as his seconds. Sharpe followed in about ten mi nutes; his seconds were Josh Hudson and Peter Crawley. Reed weighed about 10e stone; Sharpe might be nearly II stone. Odds, S anJ t to d on the Right Reverend. Round 1. Sharpe did not stand for ceremonies, but Commenced practice by putting In a right-bander, which drew first blood from Reed's mouth ; and the latter, by no means shy of his man, thowed an equal alacrity in returning the compliment. The rapid ex changel that ensued were to the advantage of. Sharpe, whose right handers altered the regularity of Reed's countenance. Reed, how. ever, put an end to the rally by knocking the Bishop of his legs. This round was considered decidedly in favour of Sharpe, and 7 to I on him went " a begging" round the ring. S. Sharpe made play : his superior strength told, and Reed was driven against the ropes and thrown. Odda still en the rise on Sharpe.. S. Reed was bleeding from the mouth and nose, Sharpe also skewed claret about his ivories. Reed proved the superlori= science, by warding of, in Int style, at least a doSea we facers, but Sharps, who is a very quick bard hitter, planted a body blow, which drove Reed of his guard, when the Bishop rushed in and threw the Snob, all on a heap, like a lamp of was. 411, In this round Reed turned the fight a little to his own advan• tags. Sharpe hitting out heavily with his right haul, missed his lam, and dropped on his knee; he sprang up to renew the contest, and was met as he rushed in by such chattering facers, as drew blood in streams from his mouth and nose; his right eye was also injured, and the friends of the snob now took a turn at cheering their man. 5. Reed broke sway from Sharpe e rush, and planted six facers. The Bishop dropped. • Chelsea College to an old Kg spa Reed," was the cry of the friends of the latter. 6 and y. The Chelsea Lad had got the lead, sod kv kept k. Sharpe appiared rather distressed for wind, and he was heavily punished about the right eye. &W his herd hitting was dangerous, and it required all the art of Reed to avoid the tremendous left-handed lenges which this *held smuggler" aimed alternately at the head and ;be body. 8, 9, and 10. No great mischief was done in any of these rounde l but they were rather to the advantage of Reed, 11. The Chelsea Saab planted a lefthanded facer, and following up his success, knocked the Bishop clean oi his legs. 18,15, 14. In the Ora of these rounds Used had so decidedly the best of it, that after knocking Sharpe down, be stood over him, clapped him on the shoulder, and said, Yon area good man, Sharpe, but you must We." Reed also had the advantage up to round 15. When Sharpe sent his right hand likes sledge-hammer against Reed's eye, and brought lots of claret from it ; Reed however re. covered his balance without gulag down, and Sharpe was bit oar his I gs.. 16 Sharpe planted one of his swinging right-banded blows di. reedy In Reed's stomach, on that dangerous spot denominated the meth. The Chelsea here fell like a broken Rood, and rolled ow on the ground, evidently suffering great pain. This blow was enough to take the light out of any man, and had not Reed posses. led the most determined courage, be would not have appeared at the scratch again; yet be cams to time, though with much dlikulty, and contended four rounds By the direction of his seconds, Sharpe kept trying to repeat the dose. He effected this in the 20th round, by planting another home hit on the same spot, by which he won the fight, for Reed could no longer stand. It was over in 24 minutes. Itiataaus.—As a showy lighter, and In the art of stopping, Sharpe Is much inferior to Reed; but Weis a very strong ran, and be pos sesses the power of hitting quick, hard. and straight, which are na• rural points that all the theory in the world cannot overcome. Some of those who had lost their money on this light did not fail to assert that it was a cross, but we believe there was sot the slightest ground for any suspicion of this sort, Sicoso k'scuv.—This was a merry and well-Contested mill for 101. between a couple of east-enders, named Young and Wapshot. The former is a neat straight tighter, who can use his left hand well in offence, and both hand. in defence; consequently be protected his own mug, and damaged that of his opponent. Poor Wapshot, though he bad a very little chance of winning, maintained the tight like a trump of the old school, and did not give in till his left eye was onspletsly closed, and his mug was altogether so much dist. quid that Josh Hudson swore " Master Wapshot was as ugly as Barney Aaron." At length, after repeated cries of • take him away," poor War shot was persuaded to say " enough," and Young was declared the Actor of a contest of 16 rounds. Talmo Finay.—A Parse of bl, having been collected on the ground, Harry JOOC3, the Sailor Boy, and Pick from Bristol, nest peeled and set-to. Au accodltt of this fight might be contained in a nut-shell. Jones was the best fighter, and the strongest man. He either knocked Pick uff his leg■, or threw him,and consequently after $4 very short ►oend% Jones won without receiving a blow worth mentioning. Pith was not much hurt—the falls wine him uut. DOMINICA, June 10.—Saturday night a fire broke out in the New Town, but by the exertions of the Offi cers and men of the 85th Regiment, wbo came down from Morne Bruce, it was fortunately suppressed with out any further damage than the destruction of the small wooden tenement where it had originated. The prompt and way effectual assistance of the 35th well entitles them to the grateful remembrance and thanks of this community. _ _ __ _ _ _ The ttoik gives the state of the liquidation of the emigrants' claim to indemnity up to the Ist of Septem ber.
