Mr. HAMILTON, the British Vice-Consul at Boulogne sur-Mer, arr;yed on Sunday night, at the Foreign-office, with dis patches for Mr. Secretary CANNING, from his Excetlency Sir CHARLIN &Ilia NT, our Ambassador at Paris. Some years ago, when the late Judge GROSE was presiding during the Assizes at Bury St. Edmund's, a dog, which happened to have followed some one into Court, gave tongue rather iaudly at the same time with one of the Barristers. imme drrtel was a cry of " turn that dog out!" but his Lordship, who, is th.s instance, chewed himself to be a good Judge, drily said, " turn out the man he belongs to, and we shall soon get rid of the dog," IMPUDENT IMPOSTURE.— Among the visitors this season at IltAton, were two pretenders to not only the titles and estates, but to tile personal idei+tity of the Duke and Duchess of Becci.sucn. They carried it oa in style for some time. At length my Lord Duke carried himself off one morning with the equipage, and just as his Grace began to 1):: missed. the Duchess contrived to become evanescent also. It was a remarkable instance of suc cessfully impudent imposture. INGENIOUS SMUGGLING.—The Ayr Custom-house Officers, in searching the sloop Industry, WO anw, on her arrival there from Beltast, on Wednesday week, found a quantity of smug ;ltd glass; and on the person of one of the passengers, a female, were found thirteen wedges of soap, quilted curiously in her petticoat, and about a hundred wine glasses as ingeniously quilted in another petticoat, which she wore as a scarf, the whole singular combination being concealed under a cloak. DEATH FROM DRINEINU.—Tuesday morning, an old man, a shoemaker, named Ross, went into a house in Advocatee-close, with a bottle of whisky, the greater part of which he drank, and almost immediately after expired. Medical assistance was procured from the Police Office, but without effect. He had drank the same quantity the morning before.—Caledonian ;tiler. From Spain the letters are now transmitted in the same punctual manlier as before the breaking out of the war. Those lately received lion the south describe the French as extremely unpopular; but the chief cause is the irregularity of their payments. It is remarkable, that none of the letters from Madrid mention or allude to the Proclamation of King FERDINAND, issued at Port St. Mary's. Notices have been stuck on the church doors of Hammersmith, &c. and on the doors of the Sessions' Houses in Westminster and Middlesex, of its being the intention, in the next Session of Pailiament, to apply for leave (by Bill) to build a bridge at Hammersmith across the River Thames, from the end of Queen-street, Hammeismirh, to a . station in the parish of Barnes, on the opposite shore; to make footpaths and carriage ways to the same, &c. In the hamlet ofTllammersmith there are now building vast quantities of houses, most of them small one,; add extensive works of drainage aro. going on there,. particularly by Starch-green, on Turnham-green Common, &c. KILL MYSELF.—Ia this county it is usual at Christ mas for the *farmers to kill - each d sheep fcr their own use; on which occasions, when the butcher inquires if they want any meat against Christmas, the usual reply is " Nay, I think net, I think o killing wyzell." Last Christmas a butcher called on a farmer of his acquaint ance, in the usual manner, saying, " Will ye want a bit of meat, or yeti kill yersell this Christmas?"—"l kna not," replied the fat mer, "whether I<e kill avail, cr to' a side o' rue jitther."—Trestmoiland Gazette.

" Wilt thou have tins woman to be thy wedde.l wife?" when the bride groom making no reply to this question, the clerk said to him, " You must answer, I will." Instead of doing so, however, he fixed his eye intently on the clerk and exclaiming, "1 will ?—but I zo3n't !" took up his hat, and left the church.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. This morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, a Lady of the most respectable appearance, who came in her cha. not from Regent-street, bearing the initials of M.M. drove to the Templ e , w h ere s h e was set down. Sheim mediately repaired to N 0.12, Paper-buildings, and pro ceeded to the Chambers of William Gaussen, Esq. when, in a few minutes after, an alarming cry of " Murder!' was heard emanating from that quarter. A great number of persons instantly rushed up stairs, when it was found the Lady had pulled out a pistol from her reticule and presented it to his breast. Mr. Gaussen instantly acted on self-defence, and endeavoured to rescue the deadly weapo n horn her grasp ; during the struggle the pistol went off, and the contents were lo.lged in his hand. The Lady was immediately conveyed to the Porter's Lodge, King's Bench-walk, and sakly delivered into custody. lii 411 MY.

The tragedy of ritginius was performed last night, and Mr. MAcitEA nit again sustained the principal cha racter with all that powerful execution which origiaally gave the play the high situation it holds as a stock piece. —The alterpicce of The Adopted Child was the enter tainment, in which NVALLACK acted Michael fur the first rime at this Theatre. He looked it admirably, and gave the generous sentiments put into the mouth of the tar with great force. A boy of the name of EDMONDS made his first ap pearance as The Adopted Child, in which character he sung ‘. The Mocking Bird," and Shouldhespbraid." He has a fine clear voice of considerable compass: his articulation is very distinct, and he displayed no small share of musical taste. COVENT-GARDEN. Mr. YOIiNG repeated the pita of Hamlet last night to a vet y numerous audience. He played the chief scenes in his usual nobleness of style. The soliloquies were Aiven in the finest manner and called down repeated bursts of applause. The scene with his mother was likewise admirably played. We yesterday stated, OR the authority of a letter from our Correspondent at Calais, that FERDINAND VII. and the Duc d'Asiootmaste could not agree as to the future policy of the Spanish Government : we now understand that the French Ministers are equally dissatisfied with the conduct of the KING since his release. They charge him, it is said, with ingratitude, for his utte r di sregar d of ieir advice, as evinced in every public melstue he has adopted. It has been . resolved, therefore to with draw immediately nearly all the French troops from Spain ; in consequence of which resolution, the monthly payments made to the Regency by France, and which amounted to more than 1,500,000 francs, are to be dis continued, while all remittances to the army are to cease, there being, it is supposed, money enough in the mili tary chest of each division to carry then: back to France. We know not how far these facts are to be depended on; indeed they are not very probable, but we derive' them from good authority. Some .extracts from the Registro jffcial of Buenos Ayres, July 12, will show the manner in which the Go vet nment of the Republic of Rio de la Plata was occu pied about that period. It aprears that the famous Ultra principle, asset ting on behalf of every King an indefeasible right to give or refuse Institutions to the nation he goveins, was made the positive ground of ne gociation for a defensive alliance between the Constitu tional Government of Portugal and the free State of Rio de la Plata—" the attempt to destroy such Constitutions and Governments" as do not emanate from the will of a tyrant, being justly considered by the negotiating parties as " subversive of every national right. With considerable satisfaction," says the Glasgow Courier, ‘, we lay before our readers, the following letter from Mr. Coa.clutsourz, London, addressed to JAMES EsvrNc, Esq. Chairman of the West India Asso ciation in'this City, and rcceived.here this morning : St. James's-place, London, October 15, 1823. MV DEAR SIR — I have just received an assurance from Lord Bathurst, that arrangements have already been made for immedi ately sending out reinforcements of troops to the West Indies._ • Believe me, Rec.' " A private letter from Malaga of the 23d ult. states, that the old system being re established, the importa tion of wheat is again permitted, though subject to the former high duty, when coming from foreign ports and in foreign bottoms, of 26 reals vellon the quintal, and of l 3 reals vellon in Spanish bottoms. The same letter mentions that the old regulation respecsing tonnage is. again in force, consisting only of one teal itllon the ton on foreign vessels. GialtALTAlt.—Extract of a letter dated October 4 : Wc understand ArtutraLLEs and several other Mem bets of the Cortes are now in our Bay, having hastily escaped from Cadiz, fearing the retaliatory disposition of the Royalists. The Themis French frigate brought from Cadiz 250 of the French Guards to garrison Al gesiras, which have been landed there, which indicates an intention of occupying the sea-ports." The following was yesterday posted at Lloyd's: " Porto Praya, St. Jago, Cape de Verd Islands, May S. " On the night of the 27th of April, the British schooner SWIFT, Captain HENRY, of and from Sierra . Leone, at anchor in this port, laden with fifteen tons of camwood, 700 barrels of husk rice, &c. was boarded by about twenty soldiers of the girrison of this place, and some renegade French sailors, and taken out of the har bour, undiscovered by the guards of the different bat teries which she passed, and is supposed to have gone on a piratical cruise, as , he is without Captain HURRY, who was on shore at the dme; the mate and all the crew, with a young American lad, from Boston, were on board. The schooner is American built, raking masts, carries a.fore cap and top-gallant sail, copper fastened and coppered, pierced for fourteen guns, and mounting four, and measures 192 tons. It is supposed that the mate and American lad, with such of the crew as would not join in the piracy, have been murdered, she was under Dutch colours, and called the Aurora— and when last from the Port of St. Thomas, where site was refitted, sailed on a slaving voyage, and was cap tured by his Majesty's ship SYREN, and condemned at Sierra Leone on the 29th of November last; and should she have sailed to the West Indies, to join the pirates in those seas, it is hoped she will be captured by the num,. tous cruisers in that gamier.

Wrirrattavarr.—A most melancholy accident hap pened on Monday evening-se'nnight in the William Pitt (Colliery), near Wititehaven, occasioned by an explosion of lire-damp; inconsequence of which thirty-two per sons were unfortunately killed, viz. fourteen men, teen boys, and - two girls. Seventeen horses were also killed. It is impossible to ascertain the particulars of this terrible catastrophe. That the explosion was occa sioned by an accumulation of fire damp, is almost all that. is certainly known. The sufferers were employed uka,division of the workings where the pillars are to be tataneut: around, these the venti!akion was excellent, and regularly kept up, and there sTas not iVen,an ;ap pearance of fire-damp, except.id.the fractured parts of the workings in those places where tie pillars bad been removed, and into which there was no necessity fur any of the workmen to enter. Every precaution on the part of the overnien was regularly taken. The colliers were strictly enjoined tuuse the Davy safety lamp; but alas! familiarity with; danger commonly .engenders contempt for it; and it now appears that some indivi dual had disregarded• the injunctions which were re peatedly issued for . the general benefit. The unfor tunate sufferers had nearly completed their day's work; and in less than half an hour would have left the pit.— In what manner, or by whose means the damp was ignited, must for ever remain a secret: not a single in dividual of those who were employed' in that part of the workings is left to tell the mournful tidings. It is. already observed that a number of horses are killed, and it may here be added i that some 'of their drivers' escaped.— Carlisle Joyrnal.

The aettleirtmt of a be: between tbarn wa it quested by the former iu a mild gentle manlike way, but in which hr did not by all means succeed in Pre vailing upon the latter either to come to or leave the matter to re ference.

PENKRIDGE WAKES. _ ......-- This ancient festival was this year more than usually brilliant ; in addition to the customary amusements of cock-fighting, and other gentlemanly sports, there was horse and ass racing, The first contest was between Mr. Cotton's Black and all Black, Mr. Boothby's Challenger, and Mr. Bowker's Bother'etn, which was won in high style by the former. On Tuesday, a ruatch be tween Mr. lioothby's Arabian, and Mr. J. Taylor's Crey Long Ears, was won by Mr. Buothby ; but a dispute arising atter the second heat the stakes were withdrawn. A match b e tw een ' M r . Harper's B ay, and a mare from Stourbridge, on Wednesday, was severely contested; the Bay had evidently the advantage, but this was in a great degree compensated by the agility of the rider, who contrived to have five falls during his ride round the Court,. HUNTING. The Brighton Subscription Pack of Harriers, in their three days of action last week, were desirably successful in producing good di versi nn . About seventy horsemen were with them on Monday, one hunched and thirty on Wednesday, and eighty on Friday.- On the two former days, a leads of hares was the spoil of each, and a btaceon the latter. One hare, on the first day, held them in a run of ten miles, without check, ere she tell a victim to her well trained pursuers. On the I q of November, Colonel Wyndham will again appear in the neighbourhood of Brighton, and continue in it for about a month or six weeks, with his staunch pack at Fox Dogs, the fleetest and best conditioned fur hunting over the Downs, we doubt not, in the kingdom. The resident sportsmen are in high spirits, and an ticipate some hi Mien exploits. The Earl of Darlington's Fox Hounds will meet to-morrow, at Vk'ittou Castle Plantations; and on Friday, at Summer-house Vil lage; each day at ball-past ten o'clock. The Lainht w an kow Hounds will meet on Thursday at Brance. iseth ; and Ow l Sateardiy, at Tunsial, each day ash we've o'clock. Y s• • C NI 1% S. G EA NCR Saturday:keit, Striven, tieir Knaresburough, one of the best harriers in thep l ack belonging to Charles Slingaby, aaq. ha"ing done something to offend his associates, a general canine conspiracy was formed against hint, and they suddenly with one consent, attacked and wurricd him to death, before the huntsman could zeicue him. PEDESTRI A ISM.N Monday last, a foot-race of four miles, for twenty pounds, wale decided on the new road from Bury to Bolton, between Berry, the noted Lancashire pedestrian, and a weaver of the same neighbour hood, also a famous runner, and won by the former. He completed the distance in twenty-two minutts and a half. Saturday the 517th ult. a wager was made, that a son of Joseph Mirehouse, - of the Wheatsbeaf, Egrernont, only four years of age, would' run a mile in twenty minutes. The youthful pedestrian started, and to the astonishment of every one, accomplibhed the task in twelve minutes. The boy weighs o: ly two stone. SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY. Monday last a hare was discovered by Mr. Thomas, of the Nel son Inn, near Southampton, on the mud near low-water mark. It was likewise observed by several, Gentit men in the same pc&tion for three bouts. Mr. J. Hostler, having fit - St provided himself wiih a pair of mud-rattens, proceeded to the spot with a Newfoundiand aiog, when both hare and dog immediately plunged. into the wat e r, and scvpt.il times t otally disappeared from the astonished gaze ut (be spectators. • Ai length, after a chace of about !.20 mintr:e4, dining which the poor animal made no less than 30 turns to escape the vi gilance of its pursuers, tar hare was taken and killed under the wails of the Spa Gardens. 11 1 ° 1 cif r, 1 I ii ii. , , , 1 1 1 1 I,f , if,
