DEATH OF CANOVA.—Every lover of the Fine Arts in England, as well as in all quarters of the globe where hit name was known, will hear with extreme regret that the cele brated Cattovit is no more. He expired at Venice on Sunday morning last, after a short illness. This distinguished arti.st. the 'tidies of modern times, was not less eminent for his talents than for his benevolent and amiable disposition. Genius always found a patron and protector in CANOVA, and a large portion of his in come, procured solely by the exercise of his profession, was de votes to works of charity. Sir JOHN EDENSOR HEATHEOTE died OR Friday last, at his seat at Longton-hall, in Staffordshire, in a fit of apoplexy. The Revs Mr. MUM, Vicar of Debenham, in Suf folk, has resigned his living, and seceded frgm the Established Church. Lord HOWARD DR WALDEN is appointed Preces Writer, and Lord GEORGE BENTINCR Private Secre- tary, in the Foreign Office. The Under Secretaryship of State is not yet filled up. • The lion. Mr. WYNN:British Minister in Switzer land, accompanied by his Lady and daughter, have, during the months of August and September, been making the tour of Switzerland, after which they re turned to their house at Berne the first week of the present month. Monday se'llnight, about half-past nine o'clock in the evening, a beautiful meteor was seen to the north of Edinburgh ; it passed with great: rapidity in a hori zontal line from east to west, throwing out sparks from behind. It was in appearance about the size of a star of the first magnitude, and of equal bril liance. It disappeared - without explosion. A Meeting of the Friends and - Admirers of Mr. HUNT took place at a public-house in Jewin-street last night, for the purpose of making arrangements for his public entry into London, on his liberation from Ilchester Jail. A number of Resolutions, decla ratory of the opinion of the Meeting as to Mr. HUNT'S principles and sufferings, were entered into, and a Committee appointed, when the Meeting quietly se parated.—Mr. HUNT is expected to arrive in London on Monday sennight. Yesterday morning, early, a meeting took plaCe at Bayswater, betwezn Mr. C— and Capt. A —r, which originated in a supposed insult, given by the former to the latter, in demanding the payment of a bet. They fired together, and the Captain was wounded in the arm rather severely. A duel was fought yesterday morning at the back of Hampstead, in consequence of a previous misun derstanding, between Mr. L. attended by the Hon. Mr. —, and Mr. M. attended by Capt. —; when Mr. M. unfortunately received the ball of his adver sary in the left side on the first fire. The dispute was then amicably settled, and it is understood that Mr. M.'s wound is not considered dangerous. The two principals are both engaged in commercial pursuits. A lamentable accident lately occurred at Marguise, near Calais. RICHARD USHER, Esq. formerly of the 62d Regiment, when out in search of game, received in his lungs the contents of one of the barrels of his min which was accidentally let off by a twig having come in contact with tl►e trigger. He expired in about three minutes, repeating with his parting breath the name of a Lady to whom he was tenderly attached. Luta, °maga .25.—The Friendship, of Ullapool, JOHN PLACE, muter, was. totally lust near Thurso, on the night of the 11th Ins tant, and he and hit whole crew, seven men tad a boy, met a watery grave.

In compliance with the application which Sir CHARLES STUART was good enough to make, the French po lice consented to allow his remains to be removed to England, which, it appears by an absurd law of France, is nut to be effected without considerable difficulty. A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—When the vast num ber of texts applicable to Charity are considered, that two Clergymen, who had no previous communica tion with each other, should, on the same day, in the same Church, for the same Charity, use the same text, is, as we have termed it, a singular coincidence. This was the case Sunday se'nnight, at Hammer smith, when, for the benefit of the Female Charity School, the Rev. Dr. TURNER and the Rev. Dr. BOOKER preached from this striking text:—" It it not the will•of your FATHER, which is in fIEtrEY, Mat one of Mese little ones should perish." Matt. xviii. 14. But though the text was the same, it was pleasing to hear what different views the Rev. Preachers took of the subject, yet both of them equally consistent and adapted to the occasion. The Justices at the Quarter Sessions at Bodmin have ordered that a tread-wheel be immediately erected in the Bridewell-yard, for the employment of the prisoners liable to be kept at hard labour. We have received a file of Hobart Town (New South Wales) Gazettes to the latter end of May; they state the arrival of several vessels with male and female convicts, who all appealed in a remarkably healthy and orderly state. We find chit an Agrical tural Society has been firmed at Van Dieman's Land, and that a variety of premiums have been offered for improvements in the breed of sheep, pigs, :&c. also for those who shall clear the 'greatest quantity of land, to the growers of the best corn, the greatest quantity of tarnips, earrots, parsnips, &c.—to those who shall raise the greatest quantity of potatoes on the smallest piece of land ; and for other agr ;cultu ral purposes. Premiums are also offered to the hest, shepherds, sheep-shearers, &c. These rewards are doubtless useful in exciting emulation among the settlers; but what is certainly the most materia', in a moral point of view, is the following ;--That a suit. of clothes and one•guinea be given to each of the 10 male servants in husbandry, and to each of the 10 female servants, prisoners of the Crown, being in the employ of members of the Seciety, who shah have lived for the longest period, beyond three years, in their respective services, and who shall have con ducted-themselves in the moat exemplary manner. - 7 tz,";.• `RSA' •-z=r^r.~f'SwrS~P II SPOlinNo nmz,LIGENcs. ••••••mnimm.

Accounts from Constantinople, to the 26th ultimo, confirm the accounts of the disasters of the Turks in the Mores. At the date of the latest advices, the Turkish army, greatly reduced by a succession of re verses, WAS surrounded by the Greek!. AJvices from Bahia of the Ist ult. state, that an attempt had been made by General MADEIRA to ob tain possession of the island of Taporica, but without asnccess. The event is only worth notice as skewing tae spirit with which the Brazilian troops are ani mated. Taporica being the place from whence St. 'Salvador is supplied with vegetables, and its session important therefore for the supply of the rarrison, Mane' ItA, on the morning of the 28th of August, de tached 200 Portuguese troops on board a somata, to' take post on the island. On approaehing the shore,l they found a party of Brazilians, nearly equal in number, on the beach to receive them. Ihe Por tuguese troops landed, bnt were attacked so vigor ously, that out of their little detachment eighty were taken prisoners ; and refusing to submit to certain conditions imposed by the •victors, were subsequently all put to the sword. The Commandor of the Bra zilian troops was Colonel FILISRERTO CAEDEIRA Cows, one of the persons sent prisoners from Bahia to Lisbon, but set at liberty by order of the Cortes. FOOT RACE. Monday se'nnight a foot-race was run at Marple, in Cheshire, between a man of the name of Berry, from Saddkworth, and another of the name of Robert Harrop, from New Mills. The ground chosen was from near the Bull's Head Inn to Marple Hall gate, along the turnpike road, and through the most popu lous part of the vi:lagc. Harrop ran in a state of complete nakednesq, though no less than 2000 persons, of both sexes, were present ; and, being the winner, was elevated on the shoulders of a man, at'd carried home. The race was succeeded by a series of battles, which continued till midnight, in various parts of the village. COLT RSegG. C. RI,TSLE, OCT. 46.—0 n the 18th inst. Mr. George Bewley, of Brackenthwaite, was requested by two friends to enter a pair of young greyhounds: The morning being rather frosty, a hare stole away at a great distance, and Mr. Bewley's favourite dog, Comet, was with difficulty laid on . ; when he had nearly reached her, another hare was started by the beagle, and ran•directly in his face. The dog pursued the first hare, turned her, brought her past the young dogs, and finally caught her, after which he left them to kill the hare, and pursued the second. which had run an incredible distance; however, after a fine run, be killed her, not ten yards from the spot where the other was killed.— The first hare weighed 71b. 9oz. the second, 81b. Buz. BILKING TOLL-KEEPERS. Monday, a dashing blood, whose name is known to us, nearly related to a late Minister of State, travelling with a retinue in three chariots, each drawn by four horses, thought proper to dr Y his superior rank by endeavouring to defraud the turn piigaikeepers of two gates between Carlisle and Ann..n ; driving through, Jehu-like, without paying the tolt, in " legitimate" contempt of those salutary laws and regulations which all men are compelled to obey, and which no honourable man would at tempt to violate. The two gatekeepers in a chaise, accompa nied by a constable, pursued the gentleman to Dumfries, where the Magistrates obliged him to pay the toll-rates, with all at tendant expenses, amounting, as we are informed, to nearly £7. —Carlisle Journal, (kt. 26. TRIAL OF STRENGTII. Wednesday a man, by way of exhibiting his Ittength to se veral of his companions, placed his shoulder against a bleach cart, as it was passing up Park-row, Nottingham, with intent to stop its progress, when his foot slipped, and he fell with one leg under the wheel, which passing over it, fractured the bone, and was obliged to be amputated. Some one stole Lord CHATHAM'S large gouty shoes: his servant not finding them, began to curse the thief. " Never mind," said his Lordship, " all the harm I wish the rogue, is, that the shoes may fit him !" The following Lines were, it is said, writtetrby the celebrated Mr. Ai--E, beneath a frontispiece to a copy of MILTON'S Paradise Lost, presented to him by a certain Secretary, in which Satan appears in the act of offering an apple to Eve: " With equal good-nature, rood grace, and good blots, a The Devil gives apples and C—t—a gives books!' A sailor, at the battle of Trafalgar, who was ac- , I tively employed at one of the guns on the quarter deck of the BRITANNIA, had his leg shot off a little below the knee, and o b s erving an Officer, who was ordering him to be conveyed to the cock-pit said— " That's but a shilling touch, your Honour, an inch higher, and I should have my eighteen-pence for it !" alluding to the scale of pensions allowed for wounds, which, of course, increase according to their severity. 1 The same resolute fellow, as they were lifting him on a brother tar's shoulders, said to one of his friends— " I say, Bob, take a look for my leg, and give me the silver buckle out of my shoe—l'll do as much for you another time!" . The number of English residing at Lausanne and its environs, at the beginning of the present month, was estimated at 1,500. The fashionable season had just commenced. Lady DuNnAs and her three ami able daughters gave the first grand Ball. The even ing following, Madame VAVASEVIt gave a magnifi- . cent Ball, to which all the English were invited. Mr. Jona KEMBLE occupies a beautiful villa, called Beausite, adjoining the town, and bordering on the ' Lake, surrounded chiefly by vineyards; he is visited almost daily by the most distinguished personages, and he frequently entertains select parties. The following paragraph, so disgraceful to the in habitants of Newnham, is extracted from the Kent Herald. We give it further publicity, in the hopes that it will meet with an early contradiction :—" Last week, as two poor men were travelling through Newt:- ham, one of them was takes seriously ill - his com panion made ineffectual applications to t he neigh ' bours and Parish Officers for relief, and, gaining none, the poor wretch crawled to ii hovel, where, after grievous sufferings, be expired." A person, named Auguste-Narcisse Cuingnet charged with the murder of his own m o th er , h as b een arraign ed for the crime before the Court of Assize at Douay. The trial lasted several hours. The defence of the accused !rested opon ao attempt to probe that at that time he bad fallen under the visitation of in sanity. A trial being had upon the spot upon this collaterailssue,' the plea was negatived, and the Jury then found 'hint guilty of the crime of parricide. He vtaa sentenced to be led to the square o: Odle, with his feet naked, le his shirt, and his bend co tarred with a black veil, *Ere to undergo the pw44nuest of Goa awl man'opon bis dreadful cringe. • '4111M7. ' •T. ~. -. ~. • - ptizrez OTTLDNALLe.4SIOI.II TO COTPAISLOL.—Yesterazy , mynas filmmakers were brought before the Magistrate by,i night Constable, charged with disorderly coodoch The constable said the two t men bad been tipay the night btu fares and would not go array when he desired them to do es ; bat air-morning they were sober, and had" settled" she matter. The Alderman instsetly caused the constable to be sworn, sod asked hint whether he had not * taken money from the defen dants to settle It releetatuly teknowledged that he had re ceived two pounds not to press it. The Alderman sold, the practice pursued by watchmen and night constables of taking bribes was a most abominable one, and that the most frightful consequences Might be appreheaded from it. He then closely Invangsted diocese. • The constable stated, that in endeavouring to induce the des fendants to go borne, at a late hour, one of them fell upon him, and street him a violent blow, and knotked him down. , The defendants denied this. They declared that the covetable /hewed no disinclination to be assaulted, and that he was not at aihstrueit. They gave the two pounds by the advice of their 'tends, to get rid of the nateer.—The defendant, against whom assank was charged, said he was locked up for answering a watchman, who spoke insolently to him. The Alderman said, it was no weeder that men had (Weird money for the office of night constable, when such practices were pursued. The two defendants were then discharged from custody, and bound ever to prosecute the constable and a watchman, who was concerned in getting the money, for extortion. Harmer-Gmtern.—Yesterday . the well known at Smith was brought for the forty.ninth time to this Office, charged with as saulting and beating William Manning, an able watchtnah. It appeared from the statement of the watchhouse-keeper, con stables, and watchmen, that the prisoner is a most formidable enemy to the guardians of the night in the neighbourhood of Is lington, and that none of them singly cart face her; on many oc casions she has pot three or four of them to flight. She has for similar assaults been committed for one month, or two months at a time, and it was only last Saturday she was discharged for the forty-eighth tiffie from the House of Correction, where she was confined for one month, never being more than two or three days out when she Is committed again. On Saturday night, after being discharged from prison, she got drunk rod repaired to her usual rendetvous near the Angel, at Istiogton, and from eleven o'clock till one in the morning, she kept the neighbourhood in a state of confusion. No watchman was found hardy enough to at tempt laying bands on her ' in fact, they avoided her ; at length the complainant, with the assistance of four gentlemen, succeeded in securing her and currying her to the watchhouse, but not be fore she inflicted summary punishment on the watchman by giving hint several tremendous blows. The Magistrate declared he was at a less what to do with the prisoner; she had spent the greatest part of five years in prison, which had no effect on her, but it was better to keep her con fined than for bet to be at large, and be concluded by s intencing her to another month in the House of Correction. On hearing her sentence she swore that as soon as e had her liberty again she would give the watchman such a beating, that he should never forget Bet Smith as long as he lived. 111AltYLA-BOSillt 07171C1.—Yesterday John Williams, an athletic young fellow, was examined on a charge of cutting a large trunk of wearing apparel from behind a gentleman's carriage. It was stated in evidence, that on Saturday last the family carriage of Wood, Esq. of Park House, Hayes, was pro ceeding post to London, with a young lady, named Hobbs, in side, whose trunk was strapped to the back, and just after passing through East Acton, an alarm was given by some workmen on the roads, that the prisoner had cut the trunk front behind the coach; being stopped, a pursuit was commenced, and the pri soner, during a very long chace, with the most astonishing ac tivity, leaped over several ditches, hedges, fences, and ponds, still keeping fast hold of the heavy trunk, and finding he could not clear a wide ditch with his booty, he slung the trunk into the midst of it, and jumped over, but the pursuers still kept on, and he was found lying in a field quite exhausted, unable either to proceed or resist. Ile had nothing to say in hie defence, and was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Lausern-Sramer.—A Roma SHOT...—It has been already stated. a few days back, that a man was shot while boldly at. tempting a robbery at the dwelling-house of Chapman, Esq. at West Ham, and that he was in consequence lying at the Lon don Hospital, to be cured of his wounds. It being determined on to prosecute the man, strict orders were given at the Hospi tal not to allow him, when able, to depart, without giving -no tice to the Police, and on Saturday evening he was brought to this Office, when he gave his name James Ciente:as. The butler by whom he was shot, a also his master, attended, who prefer. red a charge of burglary and rubbery against him. Pawnbrokers' duplicates for several books, being part of the property stolen, were found on the prisoner. The unfortunate man appeared to be sufihring grievously from the effects of the shot ; he limped into the Justice Room, supporting himself on crutches.—He was remanded for further examination.—Since his commitment a letter was received by Mr. Miller, the Chief Officer, from the rivet, intimating that the unfortunate man was so much indis; posed that it was deemed requisite to place him in the infirmary of the jail. hl A ettiostoucu-erasme...-Yesterday,-11rellington was charged with being concerned in a serious riot. It appeared that a dis pute arose between two soldiers at a public-house in Arabella.. row, Pimlico, when two of them went out to fight, 'and on the watchmen interfering to preserve the peace, the whole parry turned upon them, took from them their sticks, and beat theist so severely, that a party of the Guards were fetched, which took the refractory soldiers to the guard-house, and gave the prisoner-up to the civil power. The Magistrate severely repro bated the conduct of the publican, who, after the affray, gave shelter to the refractory soldiers, and shut his dogs against the watchmen, and those of the military, who came to preserve the peace. e therefore issued a summons for his appearance, and ordered the prisoner to find ban. uNioa-HALL.—Saturday, James Cooke Clarkson, whose case Was reported in our Paper of Friday last, was again brought he fore 1.. B. A Lute, Esq. for re-examination on the charge of having fraudently obtained the sum of Altin from Mr. John Anderson, under pretense of procuring for him a situation in the Revenue. A Gentleman attended upon the part of Government. Mr. Anderson having produced the letter which he bid men tioned as having been received by him from the prisoner, the pd. goner acknowledged it to be his hand-writing. The Gentleman who attended upon the part of the Treasury, requested that the case might stand over for a few days; and added, that Government deemed it necessary that the prisoner should be prosecuted under the 49th of Geo. 111. cap. 26, sec. 4, which statute enacts, that " Persons receiving or paying money for ob taining any office under Government, or in consideration of soli citation for obtaining any such office, or of isegociatinus or pre tended negociationt relating thereto, shall be guilty of misde meanour." A Gentleman was in the Office, who said It. attended in con sequence of seeing the account in the Papers, and added, he had been defrauded by a similar contrivance about two years ago. lie identified the prisoner, who was remanded till next Wednesday, at the request of all parties. 1 • • We understand that, in consequence of the ideas associated with the title of the infamous Bishop of Cuxmita, in consequence of the conduct of the indi vidual excommunicated and driven into exile, the name of the See will be changed from Clogher to Tyrone. This, it seems, is thought a necessary pre liminary to the nomination of a new Prelate.
