Sift GREGOR M GREGOR. ~- This morning, at the Middletei 3essions, articles of the peace were exhibited against Sir Gannon MiGaz ono, for having written a challenge to Lieut. SPONO, an Wirer in the Royal Artillery, in order to provoke him to fight a duel. The articles also set forth, that the said Lieut. Spong went in bodily fear of his life by the threat of the defendant. MT. ALLEY appeared for thb complainant, and Mr. Bnotosatcx on behalf of Sir Giegor M'Gregor, who se itrally addressed the Bench on the part of their re ipective clients. The CHAIRMAN, after commenting on the observa• Lions of the Learned Gentlemen, ordered the defendant tomer into his own recogniaances to keep the peace, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties of 2501. each, and give 24 hours' notice of bail. GENERAL BARRY AND CAPTAIN SMITH. General BARRY appeared this morning at Bow.street, to ezhibit articles of the peace against Captain Smith, an Officer of Dragoons, for using language calculated to induce tl , e General to fight a duel. The tieneral stated, that the Captain met him. and under the impression that he (the General) had offered him an intentional insult, he spoke to him on the subject. The General assured him that he meant no offence, on which the Captain invited him to take wine, but on his refusal to do so, tt•e Captain became satisfied that his assurance of not offering insult was fallacious, and said be(the General) should meet him. The Captain said, that he came from Cork in the same packet with the General, with whom he frequently messed; and he repeatedly heard the General, in a sneering manner, say," There's a Dragoon," which he (the Captain) had no Lob' was applied to him, for the purpose of injuring his feeling. He certainly did ques• lion the General, and told him that he could not mess with him again, until an explanation took place. The General refused to take the wine, abruptly saying," He did not require it." The style of the refusal he thought nneourteous, and not adapted to heal feelings that had been injured. Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, said, he had nothing at all to do with injured feelings, but the law ; and he' should hold the Captain to bail if he could not arrange matters with the General.—The Captain said, he had not friends in London. _ _ _ The General did not wish to put the Captain to in convenience; he only wished to be in safety. lam no alidren, said the General ; I have served his Majesty' since 1 sac 13 years of age, and was never called to 1 account. I (to this for the public service, as well as the protection of a large family. Mr. H ALLS—Yoo are setting a public and military example, ss hich I hope will be generally followed. It is ridiculous to throw life, honour, and property, away for such frivolities. You deserve the public thanks, Sir. You say you intended the Captain no offence ? General—No, I did not, on the solemn oath I have taken. C.ptain—Then I am satisfied. Gene' al—l make no apology to you, Captain; Ido it to sAti.ly the Magistrate. Mr. HALLS—WiII you pledge your honour, Sir, to keep the peace towards the General? I will, Sir. . Mr. HALLS—Then the warrant shall stand over.— The parties then quitted the °Ace.

I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, J. R. HOD3OW. TO TIM .PSOCHILIUS DO ROL Boulogne oar Mer, Sept. 3. sn,—An unfortunate duel, which I did all in my power to avoid, has been much spoken of here ; my conduct has been done jortice to In general, but malice, working in the dark, assails my character. There is but one mode of defence I wish to resort to, nudely, the facts of the ease—upon these I rest. I have, therefore, to take the liberty of requesting you, as the Proceureur de Roi, in rime of your nice, to transmit to me the result of the enquiry made by the Others of Justice, with the circumstances of the duel, and to authorise me to make it public ; a document coming from such a quarter will set the matter iu its true light, and silence the voice of slauder. I have the honour to be, Sir, dtc. J. R. Hobson. Boulogne, Sept. 7, 1827. SlN—Having been Informed that a duel had taken place between 71u and Mr. Grady, I ordered the Commissary of Police of this town, to iirrestigate into the circumstances of the affair, and to put himself in possession of all the information be possibly could, and tetnasmit them to me.

SPOICIING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING, 11147. Doncastaa, Szwr. 13.—For raw years past there have not beta such good grounds for expecting a full and Fashionable Meeting as on the present occasion • the list for the week has a most attractive appearance. V as t numbers of the south and west country people put Mameluke down as safe to win ; but when we look at some of the Yorkshire horses with whom he has to contend, we cannot make up our minds to look upon the thing as rule certain. He has four other M.'s to beat— Medora, Matilda. Malek, and Moon- 1 shine—all of them formidable enemies, besides Reviewer, Granby, Lusatia, and two or three others, whose chances are not quite out. Opinions are, of course, very opposite as to the qualifications of the horses. Reviewer's party are very sweet upon him ;he took a sweat this morning, and performed well—if he can be got to start, he is sure go can (at least, so say his backers), odds are taken that he gets to six to one before the day. A report is iu circulation that Nonplus will start ; if so, he must get up in the odds. Another report states, that Matilda has been tried at all weights and dis tances, and can beat the rest of the stable easy. Same anxiety was felt the beginning of the week as to whether Mameluke would 1 come or not; but on Wednesday all doubt was removed, by his arrival, in excellent condition, and having every appearance to justify the high character given df him. Bets are making that' twenty-six will start—and others. that there will not be thirty-five St. Leger horses here ; and as great anxiety must naturally be felt in town on this point, we have taken the trouble to collect the fol lowing list of those horses which have arrived up to this evening : Duke of Leeds's Moonshine Mr. Houldsworth's Coalition Duke of Leeds's b. f.

Matilda Kit Cat (Mr. Peere s s) Sir J. Byng's Pedlar After the St. Leger, the most interesting race will be for the Gold Cup, for which the entries are not yet made ; we believe, that be sides some others, the following famous horses will start for it— Memnon Fleur e Lis Acteon, Longwaist, and Tarrate; the two first the eavourites. T his race will derive additional interest from the fact of the first three having run for the Sc. Leger of 1825, when FilltUf de Lis was knocked down. The entries forthe week are not yet out, but their value at present I. about ten thousand pounds. It is expected to be a complete dress week, as great numbers of the Nobility will be Isere, many of them with splendid equipages, especially Lord Fitzwilliam, whose retinue will be of unusual splen dour. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussez will be here, so will bg the Duke of Wellington, Duke of Devonshire, Duke of Leeds; Marquises of Blandford, Sligo, Queensberry; Lords bu me, Darlington, Fitz willing), Milton, Scarborough, 'fitchfield,Bth. The betting has not been very brisk, and we can only quote the following-5 to 2 apt Mameluke, 4k to 1 apt Granby, 10 to 1 apt blatilda.ll.te l aßst Medora, 11 to 1 apt Reviewer.

I 2 Ptiatount, SEPT. 13.—Monday morning last, at three o'clock, as the mad coach was on its way from Exeter to Plymouth, with but one passenger, the coachman and guard being desirous of having some drink, stopped at Ihickhstleigh, and went Into a public-house, leaving the reins in the hands of the only pas senger, a man who sat on the box. !laving staid longer than was 1 anticipated, they exhausted the patience of an outside passenger, and he left the coach to provide himself with a dram. Scarcely had he quitted his charge, when a Gentleman driving by in a gig happening to chirp to his horse, the leaders started off, and pro seedzd at a rapid pace for some time, when the coach coming in contact with the hedge was upset. he violence of the eorteuetion was such that one of the bones was kill d. After some time another bores wee obtained, and the mail proceeded. . • bESFRUC rIoN, R. I IRE , OP DUPPLIN IN PRRTIiSHIRE. Tuesday morning Dupplin Castle, the Seat of the Right Hon. the Earl of KitazsouLt., was burnt to the ground. The fire broke out a little before five o'clock, in his Lordship's dressing-room, and in a few hours that princely mansion was consumed. The destruction of property is immense. Besides an extensive gallery of paintings,-many of them by the first masters, Dupplin Castle contained a large •and valuable library, chiefly collected by the great Earl Thomas, the Chancellor of St. Andrews, and peculiarly rich in the departments of theology, the classics, and other branches of learning We have not heard if any or what portion of the books and paintings has been saved from the conflagration, , and, indeed, are without any further particulars than tbose above mentioned of this deplorable calamity. Lord Knarsotim. and his family had arrived from Lon don on Monday : and we understand there was, on that evening, a fete given at the Castle, together with an illumination, in honour of the arrival of the heir, his Lordship's infant son. CHESTER, San% le. An express_arrived here at daybreak this morning from Holywell, Flintshire, with the intelligence that the splendid mansion of Sir EDWARD MOSTYM, Bart. at Talatre,-near . that town, was op are. The mansion had just been rebuilt, and was not entirely completed. The 6re originated in that part of the building which is still under the hands of the workmen. One wing has been rendered habitable by the family, and the fire was pre vented from spreading so far by the promptness with which the doors and windows that communicated with the unfinished part were blocked up with bricks and mortar. Nothing can exceed the zeal displayed by the inhabitants of Holywell and its vicinity, where the fami ly of the worthy Baronet are much and deservedly esteemed, in getting the fire under, and in preserving the property. The entire of the superb family plate and linen, and almost all the most valuable parts of the furniture, have been saved. The damage done is not less than 20,0001. Sir Edward and his amiable lady, with their infant child, were absent in Yorkshire. _ THE ARMY.

Yesterday ( Thursday ) morning the Earl of Cork, the Rev. Mr. Sainbury, Harry Edgell, Esq. Magistrates; together with Lord Dungarvon, the Hon.Commiisiontr Boyle,Dr.Prideaux, the Clergy, and principal inhabitants of Frome attended at the Assembly Room in that town: The prisoner, who was brought on the preceding day there in custody of Mr. Oxley and Mr. Let, frnm Knutsford,Cheshire,was brought up by Mr.Culverhouse, the Woodlands constable (especially appointed by the Magistrates), sti ongly secured in irons, when the termini.; nation of witnesses on the first indictment for stealing oak planks from the woodhouse of Mr. Oxley, elm inenced ; and it appeared from the men Furnel and Gilbert, that they saw the prisoner in the house, end heard him speak to three others outside. On the second indictment, for cutting and maiming, the evidence of Mr. Oxley was fully confirmed by those who came to his assistance when the dreadful conflict took place.— In his way to the Guard-house. on the morning he was taken, he was detected searching for something in his pocket, when Mr. 0. discovered a large knife secreted, which no doubt he intended using the first opportunq+. (The articles found on him were now produced, and placed on the table, consisting of a dark lanthorn, tinder box, steel, flint, and matches, piece of cord, the bloody sword, and the disguising cap, together with Mr. Oz. ley's carving knife, and the waistcoat pierced by the villain's sword.) The third indictment, for robbing Christ Church, in Frome, of the velvet pulpit coverin g , communion table covering, the pier glass from the vestry, &c. was supported by the testimony of the ar ticks having been found in his house, and the clergy. man's black gown having been made up into a dress for his wife. The appearance of the wretch was really appalling, and when the disguise cap usually worn dur ing his depredations was put on him, covering the hesd to the top of the nose, leaving eye holes, it was horrible. He was fully committed to llcheater gaol, to take his trial at the next Assizes, and was immediately con ducted there by a party of inhabitants. —Bath Herald. CONFESSION OF MARY WITTENBACK. After the passing of the sentence yesterday, this miserable woman was removed from the Cnuri to the condemned cell in the centre yard of Newgate, and her violent hysteric screams resounded thr , mgliout that part of the prison. Mr. BAKER, of the Tower, who devotes much of his time in preparing the intim; py con demned persons in Newgate for a future state, was in the cell with her, and tendered his humane advice, which, however, the unhappy woman appeared alto gether to disregard, being so completely bewildered and distracted, that she appeared unconscious of any 'thing, and clung in an agitated and fearful manner to the Matron and one or two female attendants. The Rev. Ordinary, Mr. COTTON, in shoat half an hour alter the fist of justice had been pronounced, went to her, and pointed out the absence of the lastchance of escape from bet dreadful doom, observing she had not a glimmering of hope, and recommended her to apply herself to seek pardon from her offended CRIATOR. The wretched woman, upon recovering from the hysterics with which she was for a length of time affected, became more composed, but was so excessively feeble :and weak, that the attendants placed her upon the bed which the apartment afforded. She then declared she de• served to die, and was anxious to employ the remain der of her time in penitential prayer, and requested - some of the persons present would occasionally read prayers to her: She was informed by Mr. WORTNER that every assistance in the practice of her religious and penetential devotions would be rendered her, but the rigid regulations of restraint for persons in her situation would be practised, therefore she would be left to pur sue her sorrowful meditations in quiet. However since, the regulations have been relaxed, and two female at tendants have been constantly with her. The Ordi nary last night, upon taking his leave for that evening, pressed her as to the motive she could have for destroy ing her husband in so horrible a manner. She etook her head, and bursting into tears, assigned as a motive that it was jealousy, and said she would make a full confession in the morning. The unfortunate woman during the past night has continually bewailed her situation, and her groans are described as very distress ing. Upon the return of day, however, she became more calm, and appears to contemplate the approach of death with composure. At a very early hour the Ordinary and Mr. BAKER were in her cell, and she joined fer vently in the Morning Prayers; after which she made a confession, the purport of which was, that she had lived very unhappily with her husband for some time before his death, suspecting him with intriguing with other women ; this preyed upon her mind for a considerable time, until she fancied that her , sus picions were fully grounded : she then maddened with jealous rage, resolved upon revenge, and de termined upon killing him. This thought occupied her mind for two months before she hit upon the me thod; and at length, prompted by the Devil, she hit upon the' plan pt . infusing poison ilk the flour with which she composed the dumpling, as the safest.— She purchased this poison designedly above two miles from her home, saying to the chymist, she wished to destroy rats. She bought threepence worth, and kept it concealed five weeks in her room before she so fatally put it into use. On that day she made a dumpling of suet and flour, and mixed the deadly mi. neral with the ingiedients.
