THE TURF IN TOWN: While the tasteful Directors of Vauxhall Gardens are kiting the rude ears of plain John Bull with all the chromatic modifications of Italian music, the folks of Sadlet's Wells, resolving " To witch the world with noble horsemanship," have attempted to delight the eyes and rouse the soul by that spirit-stirring exhibition—at horse race, as they call it, or, as plain people would term it, a pony race. For this laudable purpose they have enclosed, with deal boards, a space at the rear of the theatre, a hundred yards long, and about forty broad, along the interior of which, longitudinally, they have laid a gravelled road for the operations of the racers. Though the deal boards, so far as they went, excluded the curious prying of the external spectators, yet the precious privacy of the spectacle was, much to the pecuniary lois of the projectors, broken in upon by hundreds of boys,. girls, women, and men, who, with impudent' impunity, stared down upon the arena from the windows, roofs, and chimnies of the neighbouring houses—and this supernal inspection was the more indefensible, inas• Much as every soul of them might have procured legi• timate admission to the pony races without, and to five several dramatic pieces within, including " ]Some, sweet. Home," " The 1‘1.4.1 of Milan," " Mrs. Fitzwilliam," a thunder storm, two comic songs, three dances, several fainting fits, and various other attributes of the modern dram., and all for the small charge of one shilling; or, if they wished to be genteel, of three and sixpence, at the most. The crowd of roof-striding spectators did not, however, appear to produce any thinning effect on the internal visitors, for, at five o'clock (the published iptsr for starting), the spaces within the ropes were pretty well lined with a mingled multitude of those several classes who frequent the interior of this and other theatres. A few minutes before six o'clock, four pretty ponies appeared on the ground, mounted by boys, about 11 years old, dressed in fancy coloured jackets of silk. The racks was in perfect keeping with thearena. Of the twain we cannot say much, as we were not admitted to the privilege granted to the Chroniclers of the regular tusf—namely, a station near the judge's stand. Whether much monerchanged hands, we will not venture to state; but among the various cries that issued from the betting circle, we could clearly catch two bottles of spruce beer to one, against Mat o' the Mint."—" Done! done!" 4, A pot o porter and pipe of tobacco—Duckling against the field." —" Done !"—" Half-pint o' gin to a quart of heavy wet, Creeping Jane Wins the heat, " — Taken. " The long odds against Alaitins." --" Done!" " A leg of mutton to a lamb chop, the Queen licks 1ier."..." Done! done! hurrah: done!" "There they go—hurrah!" 4 ' The Queen wins the rate, and I my lamb chop—ha:rah!" 'Mt. John Champion, innkeeper, Padstew, had a field 'of barley cut within the last few days. The grain was •.quite ripe and of excellent quality. Mrs. Barton, a woman 95 years of age, died recently at Westham, leaving behind her 170 children, grand children, and great grand-children. The Committee for conducting the Appeal to the Muse of Coinmons against the return of Mr. 6, Sraiscs for Reading, have retained Mr. ADAM, Mr. A t DIMON?, and Mi. TA L.FoURD. We understand the ComMittee have completed their investigation. - Monday, a valuable horse belonging to Mr. Reach lons, of Oundle, which had been with a chariot to Wel lingborough, dropped down dead there (in consequence it is supposed of'the excessive heat of the weather), just as it was gong to he harnessed to the chirint to return.' Account, from Hanover of the 27th June, stare that the drought width has so long prevailed has caused a great extent of marsh land to take fire in Ea-t• Fries land, Groningen, Duothe, and Oldenburg. The ground, was sown immediately after with black oats and buck wheat, and it is hoped that an ample hariest will be c6tairred. The smt,ke arising from these marshes, when burning, was so great, that it spread to the countries on the Lower Rhine, and grea ly alarmed the inhabi. tants till they discovered the cause of i L •rd YAIIB IROUGH'S yacht, die Falcon, is now ready for sea, and, we understand, his Lordship is going on a cruise for a iew days. .The external appeara e. of this yacht is that of one of our 28 gun ships, except that some of the d. fccts in appearance, which must neces sarily be in this class of ships, a:e done away by the symmetry and effect produced by the sheer and light. nem - which - are presented by' the main and quarter deck guns. A good effect is likewise produced in the interior, especially in the main . cabin, which is 36 feet in length, by having the bulkheads of beautiful oak, and the sides of the ship, without lining, very highly polished : this makes it quite characteristic of "our Hearts of Oak." She mounts eight 3.pohnders and eight 6-pounders; part of the 9-pounders are kept in the hold, and the gun carriages fitted as dressing tables, which are easily re moved, for mounting the guns, and the bulkheads taken down, to.shew as the main deck of a ship of war. The after Cabin is very highly finished with mahogany, for the Ladies' cabin : in short, the whole arrangement, both of the loser and main deck, is very excellent, and s'ieves the hest taste. At the Assizes 9f Nismes, three .noted malefactors have met with the reward of their crimes. The prin cipal, gamed Brun, commonly called L'Enfer, was ac cused 'Of two murders, one in 1815, and the other in 1825. He also stood charged with various robberies committed by a band of which he was the chief, and of which - his fellow prisoners, Valle and Vergne, formed part. • More than a hundred witnesses were examined on thia trial. Bran"iiias the proprietor of an auberge, situated in a wild.and isolated. part of the country.— This house, according to several of the witnessess, was a den of crime. One witness stated, that while drinking in it, he felt with his feet the dead body of a man under the table. Another witness stated, that on turning up the earth in the neighbourhood of the house, he found the body of a man. The most frightful stories of this man and his auberge were circulated in the country.— He was, it appears, of a race of robbers and murderers; several of his family had been broken on the wheel, or banged, before the revolution. Amongst others, his fa ther and one of his uncles. With regard to the two murders laid to his charge, there was only presumptive proof. The Jury, however, found him guilty of the fit st, by a majority of eleven to one ; and of the second, by seven to ire. He was found guilty also,, together with Valle and Vergne, his fellow prisoners, of several highway robberies. Vall and Vergne were condemned to hard labour for life ; and Brun to be decapitated in the village nearest to his dreadful habitation. The Court of Assizes of Mons had recently to decide whether killing an ox, and carrying offish skin, consti tuted the crime of ox-stealing. The prisoner, who was no stranger to the gallies, maintained that he only sto!e the skin, which is merely a petty larceny. The Jury, however, thinking that an ox without a skin was no ox at all, returned a verdict of guilty ; and the skinner, in spite of his sophistry, was Sentenced to ten years more of the gallies.

HINTS TO PERSONS INTENDING TO RESIDE 1N FRANCK Betrzeatnr, JULY 7, Mc. The influx of English visitors to this place has been. very slack this summer. Last summer we seldom had fewer than 3,000; whereas this year the number has never exceeded 1,400, including a very large proportion. of Irish. The Parliamentary elections aud commercial distress may have checked emigration; but there are, I think, other 'causes equally cogent, such as the excessive heat of the season, the extravagant rent of lodgings, and the increased price of provisions. Some good houses here are occupied by persons who cannot breathe the pure air of freedom at home ; and I understand the gaol contains other British subjects, who continue their. habits of dissipation even in. prison. Nevertheless, there are a great number or very respectable families now here to retrieve, in some measure, the national character from such disgrace. All last week the heat was excessive.--. In Paris the thermometer rose to 95° in the shade; at Boulogne it ranged from 88° to 93'. In the former place the drought was extreme. la ,the northern parts there were violent storms of thunder, rain, and large hail, corresponding, more or less, with those described to have occurred about the same time in England, and causing great damage to windows, gardens, and corn. The damage done by the hail in this vicinity has been very great. The size of the hailstones, to be sure, bore no proportion to those stated by .some of the London Papers to have fallen near London„which exceed all belief : they are said to have been f tom 3 1 1 to 4 inches it, diameter ; that is to say,.that they measured as much as a nine-pound cannon bah! suspect hot one of them was larg, r than nutmegs. The.Loadon Steam Packet has commenced running twice a week, but has not brought manly passengers as yet ; last year she bronght 300 London shoemakers at one trip, and took them back the following day. We had a violent thunder storm also on Saturday, the Ist July, and another yesterday, the 6th, but without hail. On the 3d . inst. we had a grand Fite-au-Tivoli, in honour of St. Paul and of St. E.izabeth, at the Capecure, near Boulogne. The dancing lasted all night, and all next day. Many English fami lies went to witness the entertainments. The rate of Exchange continues very favourable fur England.— At Paris, bank notes will fetch 251 francs in the market; sovereigns and one pound notes, 25 two fifths francs; but the Parisian bankers will only allow you 25} francs for a goad bill at sight, the difference being consumed in charges for commission and brokerage. At this place the Exchange is rather more favourable on bills ; French gold bears an agio of from to I per cent. compared with silver, which is the legitimate currency. Boulogne is much improved. The conveniences for hot and cold bathing are seldom to:be equalled, never surpassed, in any part of Iltitain : you may have a warm bath for Is. in every respect as good as you pay 3s. or 3s. 6J. for in England ; cold bathing is rather dearer, because it is got up in the English way. Good meat is about 6J. the pound, of 17/ ounces; butter, 10d. twenty-six eggs, 94. tea, ss. or 6s. sugar, 14d. coffee, 18d. the pound ; turbot, mackerel, soles, generally reasonable. Wine, of every description, cheaper than in England. The great complaints of dearth of provisions, &c. are in some measure created by the English themselves, who are often so thoughtless, or so loaded with cash, that they will give any price demanded for an article, without any regard to the mat ket price of the commodity. Thus have 'known-a fine turbot bought for 2s. Sd. by one person, which another has paid 7s. fot on the same day. The rent of houses and lodgings is certainly very high, compared with other rates ; there are always expenses and inconveniences - incurred, which strangers are not aware of, and which they ought to be aware of, before they come over here, namely, that they must hire bed and table linen, knives and !mks, servants, &c. Living, upon the whole, is, however,- cheaper, than in Eng land, as well as clothes, with the exception, I think, of woollen clothes. There were more elderly Ladies at the Juvenile Fete on Saturday evening, at Vauxhall Gardens, than ap peared these on any former occasion. The glove manufacturers in Somersetshire are resum ing their former activity._ It is now found that they have nothing to fear from French competition. The streets were so inundated with rain at NorwiCh, on Saturday se'nnight, that a young man actually swam forty yards in St. Stephen's:street. It appears by an account printed by order of the House of Commons, that since the conclusion of the peace, 445 ships of war and other vessels have been sold by the Navy Board, of which 112 were sold on condition of being broken np. The tonnage of the whole number sold amounts to 229,847 tons. Sunday afternoon, , the following heart-rending cir cumstances took place at Greenwich. A young man, fifteen years of age, named John Sherwood, whose father was the contractor for driving the piles for the erection of a new gasometer at the gat works near the Union Tavern, Thames street, imprudently went to bathe, in a pool formed fir the excavations made on the pre mises, and had not been long in, when he suddenly sunk, seized, it is thought, by the cramp. Some bargemen, who observed him go down, instantly ran to his assist ance, and succeeded in about *ten minutes . in•drawing him out in a state of insensibility. Medical aid was promptly resorted to, and Mr. Walford, Crome's used every effort to restore animation, in vain—the vital spark wis extinct. A girl, the sister of the unfortunate young man, v. ho was at play near the spot, on hearing that her brother was drowned, ran t' the husband of her eldest sister, Charles Weirman, a lighterman, who was sitting at tea with his wife, and exclaimed -44 Oh, Charles, John is drowned," when the husband, 'who himself was only in his 25th year, sprung over the table, and rushed out of the house to see the body, but before he had reached it, dropped down and expired without a groan. The wretched woman, who in a&w short moments was bereft of a husband and brother, and left a widow whir two helpless infants, one five months, the other two years old, on hearing her double misfortune, was taken with convulsions, and, it is feared, I will soon follow her departed relatives to the grave. CORONERS INQUEST- ON . 1i1" FARQDHAR, . . , • An Inquests was held oti Frida y Morning, on the body Of Mr. John Farquhar,, Wore Mr. STIRLING. the Co roner, and-a Jury of _thu Most respectable of the -inha bitants of Nottinghins;place. . Mr. than, the Chief 'Magistrate of Marlbortatinh-street, was the foreman From the evidence of the Mies Cruikshank, the nieces. in-law of Mr. Farquh ar who dined with him o n t h e evening preceding his Farquhar. ; and also of Dr. Norton, i who-was called in on Thursday morning, and of some of the domestics, it .apprared that Mr. Farquhar went to bed on Wednesday night at half past ten o'clock, and when the servant went to call him on the following morning about eight.o'clocli, he was found dead in,his bed. It-was the ppinion Of Qr. Norton, from the cold state in - which he-fmand. Mr. Farquhar 's body, that he must lave died 'shortly *after be retired to bed. Mr. Farquhar was subject to spasms for sonic time, and after dinner on W e d nes d ay even i ng he complained to Miss Crulkshink of a slight pain in his head, but he did not attach any importance to it, thinking it as a mere attendant on the debilitated state of his constitu tion. The Jury, without hesitation, found that 4 1 John Farquhar, Esq. died by the visitation of COD:" Mr. Farquhar ha s l e f t b e hi n d hi m seven nephews and nieces, who, it is supposed, will inbetit iminrose fortune in equal shares. Ponthill 4bbe.y, and the farm and land adjoining the Abbey, have long been con tracted to be sold to various persona. 111 , . Benett, M.P. for Wiltshire, is the largest contractor. We understand not one purchase has yet been completed. The day before his death, Mr. Farquhar took his usual ride in ft gent's Park, ate his dinner, and drank. a bottle of wine. Early in life, and when he had acquiired very little property, he made a will, the patticulars of which were only known to himself. Since his return to England, he has frequently been importuned on this subject by a friend of the family, in whom Mr..Farquhar placed unlimited confidence. The only answer this friend could ever ob tain from Mr. Farquhar was, 66 My dear Sir, I have already three wills in that tin box." Mr. Farquhar had the second share in Whitbread's brewhouse, and was at. the head of one of the most opulent houses in the city connected with India. HONDURAS COMPANY. An adjourned Meeting of the Shareholders was held yesterday, at Batson's Coffee-house,.Cornbill. Mr. BLAIN was ill the Chair; and Mr. Ct..% arc detailed:the various charges which he befere made with respect to the conduct of the Trustees a*d Directors. Mr. Ps.uramea, one of the Directors, entered into a full explanation of the ptinciples - - on which they had acted, and succeeded its convincing the . Meeting, that. however indiscieet the conduct of the Directors might have been, they were entirely unimpeachable of frau dulent intentions. In reply to one of Mr. Clark's ques tions, he_said that he could not agree to refer the matter, in dispute between the Trustees and Shareholders to ; arbitration. But the Directors were willing to under take the whole loss, if it could be made out that they had acted dishonourably in any one instance. They were quite ready to abide the event of an action at law, whenever the Proprietors pleased to adopt that mode of deciding the question. Mr. ?mamma then retired—several Shareholders at the same time expressing themselves satisfied as to the honobrabl e pa r t w hi c h be bad beettedn tbe transaction—regretting, however, that m re spectable a nape should have san c ti one d one o f the bubbles of the day —The only itesolution passed was, that the Meeting should adjourn to Monday next.

Richard Florradaile Esq. and Sir William Curtis, Bart. were unatilmauslY re.eticted:' The Lewes Paper says,.the wheat crops in that quar ter will be more than an average produce. The Marquis of TAVISTOCK has subscribed 20001. to the improvement of the Bedford Infirmary. His Lord ship had previously stated, that in the.event of a con test for Bedford, he would not spend a shilling in cor rupting the electors, but that he would apply the sum which he should save in the formation of a permanent and useful institution for the benefit of the poor. The Essez Assizes began yesterday. There were 90 prisoners for trial. The system of horse-stealing is still carried on to a great extent in that county, and several active depredations have recently been committed. There ' is every appearance of a.slight Assize at Horsham. Only one prisoner at 0 dchim Assizes, and against him there is no bill found. At Lincolnshire there are twelve pt :oilers for trial. It appears by a return printed in pursuance of an order of the House of Commons, dated the 18th of May last, that 1615 persons were confined in the dif ferent gaols of Great Britain, for offences against tie Game Laws, in the year ending December, 1825, of whom 256 were committed for being ARMED at night. The Greek cause appears to be daily gaining ground in Europe. At Stockholm a concert in its aid was given on the 17th ult. At Caen, a few days ago, 2,000 francs were realized by a concert : one Was also given at -Boulogne-sur-Mer. At Berlin the sums re ceived from different parts of Prussia are considerable that the branch Committee have found it necessary to separate from the London and Paris Committee, and establish an independent society. SYMPTOMS OF BEING WELL AT COURTe--.WITTICISM OF LORD DOR'SETORCO; in a good humour, and laughing et himself, he (Lord Chief Justice North) told us that he found by two infallible tokens, he was thought to have a considerable interest at Whitehall. One was, the respect paid him by the Foreign Ambas sadors; and the other was, the Lord Craven's Whis pering. As for the first, he observed that, in the room at Whitehall, whenever any of the Ambassadors looked towards him, and thought he perceived it, they very formally bowed : and for the other, that is the Lord Craven, he was an old soldier of the German discipline, and, being also an old Cavalier, had the chief com mand in the Guards. Among other of his foibles, which were mot a few, one was to seem intimate with rising men, and that by most fastidiotis whisper-, ing of ptilitics in their ear. This inconvenience had found his Lordship out ; jnd when- he was gone past his patience, and escaped to his friends, he used to call him an ear-wig. To conclude this with a merry story; the King seeing the Lord Dorset, a prime wit of the time, standing seriously under the infliction of the Lord Craven's whispering for a considerable time together, alter they were parted, asked him very gravely, “ What it was my Lord Craven said "to him ?" He answered, as gravely, " That my Lord was pleased to whisper, but he did not think it manners to heatkent—Lift of the Lord Keeper North.
