M amorous youth and a blooming damsel, within one hundred miles of Ulverston, having resolved to tie the matrimonial noose,.had the banns published; but the sig hing swain, fi nding himself deficient in the 11 needful, " canvassed all his friends for a supply, but in vain. Not to be thiven from his purpose by trifling discouragement, he ordered the bride and her friend's to repair to Church, while he again scoured the town for cash. Finding his second application equally as unsuccessful as his first, be resolutely enlisted into the Lancashire Militia—got married with part of the bounty, handed the rest to the smiling bride, and thus became a son of Mars and a disciple of Hymen at the slow time 1 Friday sennight, a respectable couple, inhabitants of Sheffield, presented their eight And twentieth child at the bapismal font of the parish Church. They have been married about 25 years, and the mother has been delivered of a child every succeeding ten months. There have been no twins, and the eldest and the youngest are the only children now living. Saturday morning, the Express Nottingham coach was overturned, a little on thenther side Barnet, and several of the passengers much hurt. Yesterday morning, as one of the vans used for conveying teas from the East India Docks s AS enter ing the warehouse yard, in Crutched-friars, the fore wheel came in contact with the guard at the entrance of the gateway. The concussion was so great as to cause the shaft horse to give a hideous groan, fall down, and instantly expire. CAPTURE OF A GANG OF HORSE-STEALERS.— A few days ago we gave an account of the daring ex ploits of a formidable gang of horse-stealers in the villages of Streatham, Re'gate, Earlswood, and seve ral other parts of the County of Surrey ; at the latter place they attacked and nearly murdered two labour ing men. We have now to state that, through the indefatigable exertions of Mr. It. ROFFEY, the High Constable, the gang has been captured. The captain of the gang is a fe►low who has not long since re turned from transportation, and goes by the name of Williams, and for whom many considerable rewards" have been offered, particularly at Bristol, where his depredations were innumerable, as it is supposed no less than 100 horses have been carried off and dis posed of by this gang. They were taken at Ayles bury by some countrymen, in consequence of printed bills, containing a description of the robbers, which l•ad been circulated by the High Constable. The captain discharged a brace of pistols before he was taken, but without effect. Two horses which they bad with them have been identified as belonging to Lord CADOGAN and Mr. LIESPIELD. The robbers bad with them also a portmanteau, containing a com plete apparatus for house-breaking, &c. On Satur day last the prisoners underwent a long examination in Aylesbury Jail, before Sir JOHN DASHWOOD and a Bench of Magistrates, and were fully committed for trial at the Assizes. The reward of £5OO which was offered for the capture of Williams (who has turned King's evidence), will, of course, fall to the poor villagers who apprehended him. COAL-MARKET, AUGUST 19.

GRAND ROWING MATCH. • Yesterday a Grand Rowing Match fora Subscription Wherry, value £5O, given by the inhabitants of Pepper-alley and its vici nity, to six Watermea belonging to Pepper-alley-stairs, was con tested. The face of the Thames was crowded with pleasure boats, filled with well dressed company of bath sexes. The competitors were as follows : Names. Colours. Names. Colours. J. Walker - Scarlet. B. Williams Orange.. T. Groves - Green. W. Ferguson Pink. W. Gregory - Blue. Thos. Mackey Yellow. The terpts were, that the first mentioned three were to start for the first heat, and the other three for the second heat; and that the first two who came its in each heat were to be entitled to start for the decisive beat, and whoever came in first then to be entitled to the wherry. ♦t four o'clock, those entitled started for the first beat, from a flag-boat moored off Pepper-alley-stairs, by the Surrey shore, to a beacon off Blackfriars-bridge, round a boat moored off Mason's-stairs, to the spot whence they started, quite in the middle of the stream. This heat was hard enough contested at first, but Walker gave in, and the other two were victors. - At half-past five o'clock the other three started from Mason's wharf, and went the same distance, but after a hard struggleWil- Hams lost by several beats' length. At seven the victors started' for the prize, follov►ed by their , friends hi galleys, the umpires went on first to clear the way. All the ingenuity and art that could be exerted, they bring all acquainted with that part of the River, was displayed ; and after a severe struggle groves came in first, and leaped into the wherry amidst the cheering of his friends. SAILING MATCH. • Memos, Annan 17.—This place of fashionable resort yes terday exhibited a .scene of unusual gaiety and splendour. The inhabitants and visitors, eager to evince their loyalty, had deter mined to celebrate the Birth-day of his Royal Highness the Duke of Ions: by a Regatta, and subscriptions having been opened at , the Libraries, a considerable sum was collected for the Prizes. The day was most propitious. Early in the morning the beach was all bustle and activity—the Captains of the different boats who had entered their names as candidates were seen busily pre paring their vessels—Flags were hoisted at the Fort, Pelham place, and several parts of the Parade, and the Prize Flag, ' waving over BARRY'S Library, teemed to give a new stimulus to the exertions of the competitors. Signal guns were mounted at the end of the Parade, which continued to fire throughout the day.—Station boats to mark the course were moored off the shore, in situations which enabled the spectators on the Parade to command a full view of the Regatta. At eleven o'clock the first signal gun was fired, and five Sailing, Boats, in their best trim, were immediately launched front the shore and ranged in a line in front of the Parade. By this time the Beach, the Pa rade, the Fort, and the Castle-hill were crowded with spectators from the town and the adjacent country. The coup digit was grand and striking. At half-past eleven the second signal-gun was fired ; the boats immediately sailed, and a full band struck up the national air of " Gun save the King," which was followed by the Duke of York's March, and several appropriate airs. The match was conducted in the finest style, and extremely well contested ; and after an interval of two hours and a half, during which the most lively interest was excited among the spectators on the shore, the boats successively bore up round the station boat in full view of the Parade. The successful boat, the Regent,_was immediately drawn on shore, and the prize flag hoisted at her nsost-head, amid the cheers of the assembled spectators. Considerable prizes in money were also distributed among all the candidates. The Sailing Match was succeeded by a Rowing Match, which was well contested by eleven boats. The boats during the day were accompanied by several Gentlemen, in their four-oared gallies, which added to the interest of the scene. The day passed off with the greatest hilarity, not the slightest accident having °c entred to interrupt the harmony which prevailed. When the Regatta was concluded a salute was fired, and about five o'clock the company dispersed, highly gratified with the amusements of the day. . _ • 4 - SUMMER 4SSZZES. : , • • WELLS, TVOUST tORD NUNTINGTOWER, V. CARDICIIIt. This was an action brought by Lord llnntingtower, under the Act of William and Mary, commonly called the Bribery Act, to recover from the defendant, Thomas Gardner, a penalty of £5OO. The proceed ing arose out of certain acts done in the Borou g h o f Ilchester, at the late election, in the year 1820 Gardner being charged with having taken a bribe of £3O (such payment going in Ilchester by the cant term of " horse-radish"), for voting in favour of Sir Isaac Coffin and Dr. Lushington, in opposition to t wo other candidates, Mr. Arthur Manners and M. Lionel Manners. • It appeared from the evidence of Mr. J.Healey, that he was an attorney by profession, and avowedly the electioneering agent of Lord Huntirgtower. iii Lordship, believing that the Ilchester election had been influenced by corrupt practices employed as to the voters, was anxious to prosecute any offendcit who could be discovered ; and Mr. Healey contrived to extract an admission from Garduer that he LI received his " horse-radish," in amount I: seemed that the defendant was a man in low err.- ployment, and of little education ; and that he ha.i. made the statement as to his being bribed to the w it. ness, Mr. Healey, under a clear impression that was nut likely to be used against him. The electioa took place in March, 1820, and the bribe was it. ceived in the followitt September. Thomas Cheney proved that Gardner had told bin of his having received in September the 1:50 " horse radish ;" reproaching him with mismanagemcoa, at the same time, for not having secured a similar qua lification for himself. William Cheney also swore to an admission by , Gardner of his having rece: - .ed his "horseradish ; ' but did not know the amount. Mr. ADAM, contended, on the part of the der , 77,!. ant, that, even crediting the evidence given on n.t. part of the plaintiff, no case was made out under tht Statute of William and MLuy. The Act rendered it penal in the sum of £5OO for any man to take money to give his vote at an election. Naw the admission by the defendant came four months after the election; and it was not, at all events, until so long after the vote had been given, that the £3O (admitting it to have been taken) had been received. It a man chose to vote for a particular candidate at an election, and if a friend of such candidate, three months alter, pre sented that man with a bum of money, say 1:30, surely it could never be supposed for a moment that a inan'i accepting such a gift brought him within the scope of the Bribery Act. He (Mr. Adam) did contend, as a matter of law, that even if the Jui y credited ti:e evidence, the defendant was untouched uy the Act cf Parliament. But would the Jury give credit to suCi evidence as the case was resting on ?—trr Mr llea!zy, who was watching, and prying, and devising to e;- tort and to pump out of every poor creature, trie or untrue matter, which was atter v‘ aids to be nia.;e. use of to beggar and to destroy him ? The Learned CC.M.. sel sat down by submitting to the Jul y that tlley hid no right, even if they believed the defendant had re ceived the money, to stippose that he received it un der any antecedent contract fur the purchase of his vote; and it was not the acceptance of a present fcr an act already done, that could bring the defendant within the scone of the Statute up:: vslich the actica was brought. Mr. Justice RICHARDSON said, that one cf the questions raised in the cause—the question whether the taking this £3O (" horse-radish," or whatever it might be called) as a rewat d for having given his vote to a particular interest,wculd or would not bring the defendant within the provisions of the Statute ot Bri bery?—that question was for his (the Leal iledJudge'4 decision rather than for that of toe Jury. He would reserve the point, and the Learned Counsel for the defendant might move upon it. Upon the second question, whether the defendant had or had not re ceived this money for his vote? it would be for the Jury to decide. The conduct of Mr. Healey in the case had certainly been anything rather than com mendable. The defendant never could have made such an admission as was sworn to, unless he hal considered Mr. Healey as a friend ; and it was a sad course of conduct for a marl in a respectable prole:- sion to go about entrapping men into statements a: one time, which were to be made evidence agcini: them at another. Still, whatever the Jury migh: think of Healey's conduct in the present case, his evi dence was before their, and it was evidence fit to be received ; and it would be remembered that the fact did not rest upon Mr. Healey's testimony alone, but was confirmed by the accounts of Thomas and Wit- liam Cheney. The Jury, after a few moments' consideration, without retiring, found a verdict for the plaintiff. LORD HUNTINGTOWER V. IRON. This was an action similar to the former, against another voter of the Borough of Ilchcster.—The Ju' y in this case also found a verdict for the plaintiff. ARCHERY. Fridty, the 26th ult. the Ancient Silver Arrow and a Sub scription Silver Cup, were shut for at Richmond, in Yorkshire, by fifteen Gentlemen Archers. The Arrow and Captaincy of the Target are in dispute, there being two claimants tor them. The Lieutenancy of the Target was won by Mr. Isaac FISSISR, and the Captaincy of Numbers by Mr. C. CROFT, both of the Society of Gentlemen Archers at Richmond. The Silver Cup was, after some very close shooting, adjudged to J. Pzacocz, 31. D. of Darlington. A large fish, of the whale species, denominated a Pinner, was seen by several persons on Sunday last sporting in the deep, at a distance of 10 or 12 miles from the land, off the mouth of the Tees and the Yorkshire coast. It appeared to be from 60 to 70 feet long. It repeatedly made its appearance on the surface of die sea, and as it rose was heard to snort loudly, while the water flew an almost incredible height from its nostrils. Thursday morning, a large whale, of the spermaceti kind, came on shore near Creuwell, Northumberland. It was alive when fir,t seen, but appeared very weak and exhausted, and after beating about on the rocks for some time, it was ap proached and killed by the fishermen; it measured 65 feet in length. The lower jaw, from the cleft of the mouth, is seven teen feet and a half. It is expected to produce 50 tons of oil. Matisiox-Houst.—A boy, not sixteen years of age, named Hathett, was charged by a Mr. Lovett with having " shewn fight" to him in the streets the day before. It appeared that the defendant, who is a marker at a billiard-table, had got blind drunk at a very early hour in the day, and after having in some degree recovered his senses, by sleeping in the streets, he took it into his head to shew fight to the Gentlemen who passed by and noticed the state of his intellect. The complainant, at whose hall door the marker had been sitting for some time, having ob• served this disposition in him, endeavoured to prevail upon him to leave the neighbourhood, but instead of going, the defendant cast off his coat and waistcoat, threw himself into a fighting attitude, and made several blows at Mr. Lovett. The de. fendant denied tint he was very drunk, and complained that the Gentleman had used him roughly. The Loan MAroa said, the odious Torn and Jerry system wali becoming more and more ge neral and offensive, and that boys who ought to be at school were frequently seen in a state of scandalous dissipation. his Lordship ordered the boy to pay a fine of five shillings for the drunken part of the frolic, and to find bail to answer for the fighting part. Bow,srazier.—The KING v. Baoonss.—Tbis case was finally heard yesterday before Sir Rwu*aa Ikame, and, after an ela borate investigation, the prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial, and the witnesses were bound over toprosecute." An application to admit hint to bail was peremptorily refused. MARLIOROUCII-STRFFT.—S. Driscol, of the 2d Foot Guards, was charged with having committed an assault on Mr. Higgs, of St. Alban's-place. It appeared that the soldier was passing along peaceably, when he was assailed with " There goes the soldier !.—do you want a Bishop?" which proceeded front a Mr. liassL•tt, a friend of Mr. Higgs. The prisoner resented the in sult on both parties. Mr. Higgs charged the soldier, and the latter Mr. Bassett, with assaults. It was proved that Mr. Higgs was drunk at the time, and he was fined ss. but his face bearing evident proofs of assault, the soldier was ordered to find bail.— Mr. Bassett was-held to bail for assaulting the watchman. R. Ileartky was held to ball for having abused and assaulted a soldier of the same regiment, under similar circumstances. Yesterday a licensed victualler was summoned before the Ma. gistrate (Mr. Ros), for infrin g i ng on t h e A ct o f Parliament' re lative to the licensing system. The Act specifically states, that publicans must net encourage tippling in their houses, or keep ' them open at late hours; neither are they to allow d i sturbances, or get drunk themselves, under pain of losing their license.
