Wednesday, the respectable inhabitants in the neighbourhood sd Grosvenor-place, were thrown into a state of Marin in conse quence of a singular event. In Chapel-street had long resided the Lady of a Noble Lord, of ancient family, whose singular conduct had attracted the notice of every resident. During the day the windows were all closed, but at night they were thrown open, and the interior illuminated. Early on the morn.. ing of the day alluded to, at the breakfast hour, a crash of glass was heard, and shortly after a head was seen pretuding itself through the broken casement, with Sowing hair, in a state of frightful derangement. Presently after cups, saucers, sugar bison, /cc. were seen demolished, lying on the pavement of the street. These artistes were succeeded by the toilette, glass, &c. from the bedchamber. A crowd collected; servants were di:- patched to the residence of the Noble Lord; proper persons subse quently arrived, and the cause of the alarm was removed. It appears that the unhappy Lady has been long deranged in in tellect in consequence of the death of an only child. There were three female servants in the house, but she would not suffer the apartments to be cleaned, nor the linen to be washed. From these arrangements the state of the interior may easily be conceived. . • The husband of the Lady is in the Church, and is a most amiable character. Every body speaks in terms of high praise of his uni form attention to the comforts of his unhappy wife. He lived with her as long as he was able. DUBLIN. OCT. 3. Since the commencement of the present month, thee Rock notices have been posted up in the parish of Terry glass, county of Tipperary—one of them, addressed to the Rev. R4lph Stoney, of that place, threatening to massacre that Gentleman if he did not put away a Pro testant schoolmaster, who had recently taken the care of the school. On the night of the Bth ult. a notice, signed Captain Rock, was left at the dwelling•house of Charles Conboy, of Killiman, in the parish of Mobil!, threatening that his cattle ►hould be houghed, and his house burned, unless he gave tip a certain field to John Reynolds and his put tner. Friday, in consequence of a rumour being afkat, that a duel was about taking place in the neighbourhood of Ardearne, between Mr. P —t, son of Counsellor P—t, - and Mr. K—y, jun of T--, upwards of 200 persons were collected. We have not heard the result, but we have reason to believe the parties were put ender arrest.—Boyle Gazette. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

We have received a file of the Mexican Journal, El Sol, from the midd:e of June to the 20th July. These Papers are almost entirely destitute of news. They are chic fly filled with the discussions of the Constituent Congress of Mexico, and the communications of cor respondents on liter ary or general topics. In the number of the 19 h July we find the following paragraph : " An approaching change of all the Ministers is an nounced. This measure is, in the opinion of sensible patriots and lovers of order, the only one which can re st,re public confidence in favour of the Supreme Chief Al the Republic, which was in some danger during the 4.l o , .itation of these days. Decisive measures of this nature have rescued many Guveinments from threaten ing convulsions; and, in our case, must produce similar elects in support of our wise Constitution." It is proper to add, that in the Papers ima.edintely preceding the one born which this extract is taken, wp observe no account of the agitations here alluded to. Oa Michaelmas Day, Mr. Costs, at a dinner even en the occasion of swearing in the Mayor of Norwich, accused the Cmporition, with whom he had just dined, of s• dirty tricky." Seven Alciemen left the room fol. lowed by whet Lieutlcam, which rendered the meeting very select. THE THEATRE& DRURt-LANE. The Belle's Strata got wag performed at this Theatre last night,,to a brilliant and crowded audience. The comedy seems to have been produced chiefly for the purpose of Miss ELLEN Taxes appearance in the cha racter of Letitia Hardy. In the hoydening scenes she I was greatly and deservedly applauded, and the trying moment, before withdrawing the mask in the last scene, wa s one of the very happiest things she did. Dowrow made Old Hardy richly humourous, and WALLACK'S Doricoutt was an effective piece of acting. The Sir . George Touchwood was Mr. COOP E R : he was r e c ei v ed most falteringly. Mrs. DAVISON'S Mrs. Mickel is one of her best efforts, and it is.cettainly a rich specimen of genuine comic acting. The comedy, indeed, was ex tremely well acted. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE: This Theatre closed last night, after a deservedly prosperous season. Many novelties were produced during the few months allotted to the performances here ; and they were, in general, eminently successful. In the serious department, the Opera of The Oracle, supported by the splendid taleats of Miss PATON, proved extremely attractive; and the comic department was enlivened by the pleasant farce of Lying Made Easy, aad the truly ludicrous entertainment of Before Break fast ; in the latter of which pieces the inimitable acting of MATHEWS and BARTLEY was a source of infinite mirth. The Vampire was last night performed, and enabled Mr. T. P. Comm to exhibit to the best advan tage his melo-dramatic skill. This was followed by the capital farce of Gretna Green, in which the combined excellencies of Miss KELLY, WRENCH, and Powza ; the two first, as the deceived and deceiving chamber maid and footman, and the last as the rapacioue lord, kept the audience in almost continual shouts of laughter. At the end of the farce, Mr. BARTLEY came forward, and throwing aside the formality of a serious address, bounced upon the audience in the character of Sir William Beer, and bade them farewell with all the fire and fury by which that 4g son of impulse" is distin guished. On the part of the Proprietor, of himself, and of the performers in general, he thanked his good friends, the public, for the liberal support which the Theatre had received during the season; alluded to the exertions which had been successfully made to propitiate the town, and pledged himtelf that those exertions should be redoubled next year. This burst, which was ♦ery good•humou redly delivered, was received with energetic applause. The House was crowded in every part. . AGRICULTURAL PARISHES. TISBUIIY, WILTS, Ovr. 4! With the exception of the new manufactory at Font hill, this extensive parish is purely agricultural. Since the spinning flax by hand has been disused, the people have had nothing but farming labour to do. The parish is seven miles in length, and comprises 8,000 acres of rich arable and finely watered meadow land. It in. eludes Wardour Castle and Pyt House, and part of Fonthill. The population is rather more than 2,000. The poor's rates last year (and they are nut increased this year) amounted to 2,553 L or about ss. per acre.— The number of persons participating in the parish pay is 670, of whom 92 are old persons, and 86 constant residents in the poor -house. The latter are farmed at Ss. 6d. each per week, and the master has, in addition to that sum, the benefit of their earnings. The an nual cost of supporting them is, therefore, 2491. 12s. If to this be added, say 2s. 6d. per week each for the ninety-two old persons, making 5981. in the year, and 2001. the sum paid for county rates, it will give the fair amount of charge for poor's rate on 8,000 acres of excellent land — viz. 1,0471. 12s. or a fraction more than 2s. 6d. per acre, including the county rate. The dif ference between this :um and that actually paid, viz. 2,5632. is that which the farmer prefers paying as poor rates, to wages. This 1,5051. is divided amongst 542 persons, all of whom are degraded in their own estima tion by receiving part of their support as alms instead of the whole as fair recompense for their labours. This par.ochial pay amounts to less than Is. 6d. per week for each person. If the wages of the men were raised 2s. per week, women Is. and the children 6d. all but the sick and infirm would be taken at once from a state of de pendence on the property of others for support, and placed in entire reliance on their own energies ; and a spring would thus be given to the spirit of the people.— There is scarcely an able bodied person in this parish out of employ, and complaints are often heard of a want of labourers, so that it cannot be through an excess of population that this cause of dependence and degra dation is set at work. Indeed. it is obvious that the po pulation of this parish in former times must have been' much greater than it is now. The scale fixed by the Magistrates for the regulation, of the Overseers, differs somewhat from those at Stur minster and Wincanton. The allowance here for a man is 21. 2id. per week, women I s.7d. boys and girls above twelve, Is. 7d. from eight to twelve, is. 4d. four to eight, Is. 2d. under four, ls. I id. The average is 11.6 d. per week each. The average allowance In the poor. house is Ss. 6d. per week each, and in the latter case •the contractor gets all the benefit of the labour of the people; in the former, the earnings are taken out of the allowance, and the house rent is paid by the labourer. This is one of the most favoured parishes in the west of England, and it may be taken as a sample of the agricultural villages in general. The people look healthy; their houses do not exhibit broken windows, or other marks of extreme wretched ness, and ;here is nothing in the general aspect of the labourers to excite regret, but the reeollection that even the most industrious and excellent workmen, who have families, are compelled to receive assistance from the pay boLd, and that there are no means within their power by which it is possible for them to escape this degradation. The Loan Cuter jUSTICC will sit in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster Hail, on Tuesday next. The Indigo sales at the East India House have at tracted considerable notice. The advance is from Is. 6d. to 2s. 6d. per lb. according to quality. Tile Loan MAYOR yesterday appointed Thursday the 19th inst. for holding a Common Hall, to take into con sideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to re peal the Corn Laws.

Tnuanar.—Lord and Lady Holland and family will be here to-morrow; the &eyne Mansion, which the Earl of Harrington, with the Dake and Duchess of Leinster, is about to vacate, is en gaged for them. EARTHQUAKE AT BOGOTA. By letters received from Bogota, we are informed that the inhabitants of that city were, on Saturday the 17th of July, considerably alarmed by three new shocks, of an earthquake, two of which were severe. They took place about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and there was an interval of 15 or 20 seconds between the shocks. The second was of longer duration, and much greater severity than the first, and did considerable damage to the public buildings and to several private houses. A small Chapel, situate on the mountain of Guadaloupe, was l thrown down, several Convents and Churches, in- cluding the Cathedral, received considerable in. jury ; and a third shock followed about five o'clock in the afternoon, by which much additional damage was done. The inhabitants Bed to the squares and gardens, where they passed the night in the greatest consternation; very few persons, however, were injured, and they suffered rather in consequence of their haste to escape than from the falling of the buildings. Such, convulsions of Nature are not frequent in this part °of, the Cordilleras, and the present may be imputed to the ; long drought and succeeding heavy rains. The troops were under arms,to be ready to counteract any disorders among the populace, and the Government has adopted every mode in its power to alleviate the distress occa sioned by the calamity. COTTON AND CORN.--A Dawson'.

Rim-J.-The neighbourhood of Porter.street, New. port-market, was yesterday, about twelve o'clock, thrown into the greatest confusion by an alarm of fire, the flames of whibh proceeded from the kitchen of a house occupied by a person who sells 81 ready fried flat fish." It appeared some children, who were left in the under part of the house, set fire to a quantity of shav ings, which communicated with a bed, when it in stantly ignited; however, by the prompt assistance of some of the neighbours, it was confined to the front kitchen, where the bed and some furniture were burnt. ADMIRALTY COURT, OCT. s.—The Court sat for about an hour. Some reports of bills were made by the Registrar, but oo business of public moment occurred. Proclamation was made of the Semions for the criminal jurisdiction of this Court (at which the trials of Capt. Young, for slave-dealing, and that of Lieut. Kenny, for the murder of Mr. Charlton, will take lace) to be held at the Old Bailey on the 24th inst. Uls was the last default-day before the ensuing term. iVIEZTING 01 SILK WEAvicas.---Wednesday evening a numerous meeting of the broad silk "weavers took place at the Brunswick Chapel, Mile-end Road, for the par pose of bearing read the draft of a Petition to his Ma jesty, which had been agreed to at a previous meeting, Mr. R. Bswrou in the Chair, when the Address, which was very voluminous, was read; it set forth that they were not forgetful of his Majesty's liberality, last winter, in alleviating their distress; and that in the 13th year of the reign of his late Majesty, an Act was passed, leaving the rate of wages to be regulated by the Magistrates of Middlesex, and that since that period, to the year 1824, the weavers could, with industry, support themselves as became English tradesmen; but that since the repeal of the Spitalfields• Act, and the introduction of foreign wrought silk, they have experienced the greatest distress, being unable, even at full work, to support themselves without the aid of parish relief. That in attachment to his Majesty's person, his family, and Government, they would not yield to any other class of subjects; and, finally, they implored his Majesty to condescend to patronize them, as the only means of saving them and their families from inevitable destruction. A long de bate ensued, at the conclusion of which Mr. Fox moved that the Address should be adopted, and the Comusittee empowered to take proper means to have it presented, which being passed unanimously, the meeting separated. About 150 women and children, taken captive at Missolonghi, and redeemed by remittances from the Greek Committees in Europe, have arrived at Corfu, where means were adopting to relieve and support them, till they were restored to their country, not to their funnies, for their familiesperishod with their city. SPORTING INTELLMENCR. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, OCT. 5. There was not any thing done here today, the betting tpen being still at Newmarket. The state of betting, as received from that place, and inserted by us yesterday, supports our prediction (ex pressed some time since), that the Wyndham horses would bit first in the betting. The Rifted colt is now first favourite at rather 1411 i than SO to 1, which odds will doubtless be materially lessened wheti the Newmarket Meeting , ' are concluded. From the naming of the Duke of Grafton's horses of late, it tan hardly be expected, that they will rank high in the odds. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER Wroxesnar. (Concusses') The course to-day was attended by 411 the Nobility and elentrY, whose names have before been given ; and in the evening most of the members, including the Duke, of Grafton and Portland, Lords Lowther and Jersey, dined at the Jockey Club Roonts,which were afterwards visited by such other members who had been absent at private parties. The race for the St. Leger Stakes being highly interesting and important, we subloin a fuller description of it. Barring—This Race, always important, this year possessed more interest than hitherto. His Grace the Duke of Grafton felt cons.. dent of winning (having sin horses entered); and in this he was not singular • for all the good judges had b oo k e d him t o w i n . Th e betting before coming to the Course was brisk, but cautious, it nut being then known which of his formidable troop the Duke meant to win with. When on the ground, and it was ascertained that Goshawk and Problem, the two best were selected for that pur pose, the betting became strong. Go shawk was offered at evens against the field, and 4 to 1 against Problem ; and notwithstanding some of the knowing ones had anticipated the Judge's decision (at least what they thought must be so). by placing then% first and second, there were many takers at heavy gigues, who were influ enced, no doubt, by the bad running of his Grace's hor s es on Monday, Tuesd ay, and in the Sweepstakes to-day. sto I *as offered against Sitter ty Pinwire (who won a Sweepstakes at Ate& last Meeting), 7 to l against Carthage, and 8 to l against Monarch. who was beat by Hobgoblin on the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, on Monday, and had no place. Leeway's winning, or having the shadow of a chance, being a thing nut of all calculation, she was scarcely thought of, much more backed; 20 to 1 wax offered. When together, and after the false starts, they went off at a good pace, Leeway leading, and making rattling running over the Sat,. and till they made the Duke's stand, all the 'others being nearly abreast at her heels; Goshawk came up thete, and made a chat. lenge, but soon died away. Immediately on his failure, Monarch took the running up, and. between him and Leeway every inch of the remaining ground was contested with extraordinary truth and severity i head and head they ran, and came in, the Judie being obliged to declare it a dead-beat.

The match between Captain Farmer and Mr. Bennett took place yesterday morning, over a sis-mlle piece of ground, between Coal. font and the Hermitage, Herts. It was, which would make the best of his way eighteen miles, and was for a stake of fifty sots, The Captain backed himself to perform the distance In one hour and fifty-four minutes, for twenty-five sovereigns. The parties ran well together the irst six miles, which was done in forty minutes, when Mr. Bennett made the play, and kept his adversary in full exercise. The second six miles were performed in thirty. nine minutes by Mr. B. who was fifty yards a-head ; but be began to fall off his speed in the sixteenth mile, when his adversary passed him with sue, and in condition to win cleverly. The Captain had still to make play for the bet of twenty-five sovereigns • his adver sary resigned in the seventeenth mile; he lost them, iowever, by three minutes and a half. Mr. F. West, brother to the celebrated pedestrian, started Tester. day morning for a wager of 100 love. a go from tl4 gate at Hyde Park Corner to Maidenhead (twenty-six mile.) in three hours. The pedestrian performed nine miles with great ease in the first hour, and he reached Slough (twenty miles) fresh and well, leaving him. self nearly an hour, after drinking some brandy and water, to as complish the remaining sic miles in. He won it easy, with four minutes to spore, and offered to do It back again the neat day for the same stake. WRESTLING. Yesterday afternoon, a private Wrestling Match, for 10 sou. aside, took play according to agreement, in the grounds or the Eagle Tavern, ht the City-road, between Moyle, a Cornishman, and Meade, a Devonshireman. At twenty-seven minutes put three . _ o'clock, Moyle entered the ring, accompanied by the referee and umpires, and his opponent shortly afterwards. Meade was by far the heaviest and strongest man. Having shook hands, they hitched, and much kicking took place between them, the wrestling being an. cording to the Devonshire mode, Meade k icked most and hardest, and was furnished with the heaviest shoes; at length they got locked, and a fall would no doubt have taken place, bad not the umpires interfered, ea account of theft net being In the ring, and compelled them to loose their holds and bitch afresh; they soon got locked again, when wen struggle Seek place between tbena, and k was doubtful which would go. Meade bad MnYla in Ma arms with a Cornish hug, but his wind and strength appeared to be ebb ing fast. At length Moyle, virbn apparently improved as the other worsted, with a violent exertion, threw Meade the Brat fail. After about fifteen minutes respite they hitched again, as it was to be de l clded by the best of three falls, four falls took place between them rather in favour of Meade, but his wind again falling hint, he was ultimately thrown, and lost. The other match did not take place. Genoa Ann Banos &ultra... The third deposit for this fight was made good at Tom Cribb's on Tuesday night.
