Aft. .John Gyles, now residing at Margate, com pleted his 89th year on Saturday, and is now in per fect health. This hardy veteran has been a warranted Runner in the service sixty•three years and a half. He ited the first gun when Hawke received his flag, and °tithe 14th of October, 1747, was in the general en pgement with the French fleet under that Admiral. The next action was off Toulon, under Boscawen, in 1759 s He last served in taking the Dutch fleet in 1779. Gyles was the first man at the Ramsgate rier-head when the King sailed for the French coast, sad gave his Monarch three hearty cheers on the de venire of the Royal Sovereign yacht. He walked alone from Margate without even the assistance of a stick, which, in fact, he never uses. John Gyles took op his abode at Margate thirty years ago. He is a tall gentlemanly-looking man: he acts as a Commis sioner for the settlement of the concerns of the fisher- Len, and is looked up to by them with the utmost teverence and respect. He mentions that when on ' , board the first ship he sailed in, the Kcnt, a second rate, commanded by Thos. Fox; a 42-pounder entered the forecastle, and took off the legs of the Surgeon and his Mate, wounded the lob-lolly boy in the knee; the latter, and the Au rgeon died.

Friday, the 12th instant, a game at Quoits, for a considerable wager, took place at Dushie, between a party of farmers. be . longing to that neighbourh ,, od, and a party of tradesmen from Carmonnock ; when, after a very keLu contested game of silty two shots, the former gained by fifteen. The players then leo tired to the principal Inn in the village, where they reg:,led themselves very plentifully with excellent whiskey punch; after which they again proposed taking the field to try who would throw a quoit, four pounds weight, farthest. The moon by this time had climb:el the highest hill in all Carmunnock : however, with her assistance, and the additional lu , tre of two lighted candles, they commenced. Various wonderful feats of strength, accompanied by a; t, were disrlayed at the throwing of the quoit —victory at last wasdeclared in favour of a knight of the shuttle,' belonging to the Carmunnock party, who sent it whistling through the air, thirty-six yards; being two yards further than any of his competitors, a little to the discomfiture of the more robust sons of the. plough, who with a little warmth declared, `, It was unto daftlike to be beat by a weaver f" ROWING MATCH. A Rowing Match toak place on Wednesday last, between Mr. l.►:ss.sa and Mr. H. Beacassauay, a rower of great repute at Wand.worth. The match wai for JOgs. The distance was from Waterloo-bridge to Mittel - sea, and it was well contrated for some time; but Mr. Le LIE at length allowed Mr. &sea- ENNURY to have the lead, and it was the general opinion that Mr. BAACXarauay would win it easily, but when at about the distance of so° yards from the goal, Mr. Lasua passed bins in gallant style, and won the match. TURN-UP BETWEEN A COCK SPARROW AND A 110USE,_ AT TATIERSALL'S! At this highly-famed Sporting Establishment, the amateurs were a few days since interested upon the following. accidental event, which occurred near the Subscription-room :—A sparrow which was in the daily habit of picking up the crumbs of bread which were thrown out from one of the rooms (and which, it appears. he viewed as his exclusive right), was suddenly inter rupted in his pursuit by a little hungry mouse, who, with tears in his eyes, having been some time without food, attacked the !Farrow, ecizad upon the crumb of bread, and endeavoured to run off with the prize. The sparrow immediately 'hewed fight, and no6,V the mouse so successfully with his beak that Mousey /h:/red, and made for a hole in the wall, to escape from the fury of his antage..iist; but the hole bring too small, poor Mousy stuck fast fur a little time, when the sparrow punished hint se ver•ly. live and six to four on thefcathers. The mouse, in his own defence, was compelled to return to the charge; aad was again so milled that he ran a little way up the wall, but falling down from weakness, the sparrow once more had the best of him. 'l'wo to one was offered by the surrounding spectators (who were now so much interested upon the event, that Ran-. dill and Martin could not, for the instant, have proved more attractive to their feelings), that the gay bird won it. Mousey, who ss•as not destitute ut pluck, determined to have another shy for the crumb, made a desperate effort to bear it off; but the attic cock bird served him out so bard and fast, that Mousey left the ground with the speed of a Gustavus, and got out of the clutches of his opponent by falling down an area. The sparrow followed the mouse till he lost sight of him, cocking his little ogles down the area after his antagonist, and strutting with all the pride of a first-rate miller ; then returning to the spot, he finished the crumbs at his ease and leisure, amidst the laughter of the surrounding spectators. Woodcocks have already begun to appear on the! south coast of Devon; a remarkable fine one was shot yesterday se'nnight, by Mr. T. STOCKER, in the neigh bourhood of Sidmouth. Thursday morning, a partridge flew into the Punchbowl public-house, near the Cathedral, at Worcester, and was there secured. It had previously alighted on the head of a person in the street. The bird had probably been pursued by a hawk. DIRECTIONS ON A BASKET OF FISII.--" For Dr. Somebody, at Stevenage.—N.B. As the name is forgot, and the direction lost, be careful to whom it is deli. vered !" On the other side, on a printed card, " Or ders executed with great punctuality !" A loin of mutton was on table, and the Gentleman opposite took the carver in hand. " Shall I cut it saddiewise?" quoth he. ‘ 4 You had better. cut it . bridiewise," said his friend, " for then we shall stand a better chance of getting a bit in our mouths !" A few years ago, a young Englishman arrived from Nice at Marseilles, who wished to go through France. He was asked for his passport ; he had none.—" You must go to the Municipality." So he did—" Sir" said he to the clerk, " I want a passport."—" What's your name?"—" .4ugratus Frederick."—" No other name?'" ' No."—" Whom do you belong to?""—" To my fa ther and mother !"—" Are you of the Department of the Mouth of the Rhone?"—" No, Sir."—" Of what Department are you ?"—" Of the Department of the Thames."—" What's your father's name?", ""Georg:."—" What is his trade?"—" He is a King." The clerk, not having attended to the name of the Department, was a little roused when he heard the quality of die youth's father; and with all possible gravity, delivered the passport to " Mr. Augustus Frederick, son of Mr. George, of the Department of the Thames," saying, " Here's your passport, Sir; and I wish you well over the kingdom ; bon voyage, /ion petit Afonsic.nr!" BRITISH AND FOREIGN SEAMEN'S SOCIETY AND BETHEL UNION. Last week the anniversary public meeting of the above most excellent Society, which has for its im ! portant object the diffusion of the Holy Scriptures and religious principles among seamen, by establish ing floating chapels, was held at the City of Lonilon, Tavern. The great room was filled almost to suffo cation by a most respectable assemblage of Ladies And Gentlemen ; and so numerous were the persons who could not obtain admission, that the report of the Society's proceedings for the last year was read in the large dining-room below, which also was filled with persons of both sexes. Over the raised platform in the principal room the royal standard was dis played, and, on each the blue Bethel flag, with the word " Bethel" inscribed. Several beautiful models 'of naval ingenuity were exhibited in the course of the evening. At half-past six o'clock the Right Hon. Lord GAMBIER, K.C.B. took the Chair amidst warm applause. He was supported by several Reverend and Naval Gentlemen. The Noble Chairman briefly addressed the Meeting by congratulating them on the commencing of the Institution, and on its pro gress. The Report was then read by the Secretary, and presented a gratifying detail of the labours of this Society, whic:i appears to have effected great and lasting good for seamen. Many instances, sore of an affecting nature, were read to the Meeting, in support of the utility of the institution. On the Re port being read, several Gentlemen addressed the Assembly in furtherance of the Society, which ap pears to be in a flourishing condition. The usual routine of business having been gone through in the selecting of officers &c. thanks were voted to Lord mat ER, who expressed his acknowledgments, and the Meeting broke up. MARGATEand RAMSGATE BIBLE SOCIETY. A most highly respectable and numerous Meeting was held at the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms, Mar ga:e, on WeJnesday last, for the purpose of establish ing an Isle of Thanct Auxiliary Bible Society. ' The Right Han. the Earl of LIVERPOOL took the Chair amidst the warm plaudits of the Meeting, sur rounded by a number of Clergymea of the Esta blished Church, and distinguished characters of and belonging to Margate, Ramsgate, and other parts of the Isle of Thanet. • The Rev. Dr. Tnoni , E, in a speech of argumenta tive eloquence, successfuly combated the arguments adduced by the opposers of the British and Foreign Bible S:ciety, and proved that so far from the ope ration of this Society injuring the funds of other cha rities, the exercise of public benevolence had been id vigorated by its benign influence, and that more copies of the Liturgy of the Established Church, of which it was his honour and happiness to be a mem ber, had been disposed of during the last year, than for several years prior to the establishment of this in valuable Institution. The Rev. Mr. IlcciiEs took a review of the opera tion of the Bible Society, and considering the Bible as the best of books, could not but rejoice as a Briton that this country was emphatically and truly called a land of Bibles. On the motion that the Noble Chairman be soli cited to become the Patron of the Isle of Thanet Auxiliary Bible Society, being carried, The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented himself to the Meeting, and was received with the most enthusias tic cheers. As soon as the acclamations had subsided, his Lordship said he should trouble them with but few observations; but he felt it right to state the grounds on which he accepted the Presidency of that Society. He would say the objects and principles of the Bible Society were in perfect accordance with his principles; if for a moment he could consider them hostile to the religion of his country, as by law esta blished, he could not yield them his support; but believing as be did that the labours of the Bible So ciety tended to promote Christianity in general through out the world, he felt it his duty to promote its suc cess by all means in his power. He was a member of the Society for Promoting Christian knowledge; and as a member of the Established Church, from the conviction of his judgment, lie felt it his duty to support that Establishment, and he should be most happy could the Liturgy be always circu lated with the Bible; but there were circumstances which prevented that highly desirable object.— The operation cf the Bartlett's-buildings Society was limited, for the Bible may be circulated where the Prayer-book could not. At home, among persons of different religious opinions, the Bible may be circu lated; and believing, as he did, that the distribution of the Scriptures will tend to lead men to approve of our excellent Liturgy, shall we withhold the Scrip tures, because they will not receive the Prayer-book with them ? In Ireland, religious prejudices would prevent the Prayer-book being received, and shall we forego the advantage of circulating the Word cf GOD among all classes, and all sects, giving them an oppor tunity of forming their conscientious opinions of the truths ofthe Bible? The principles ofthis Society adapt it to convey the word of life to the whole world. Britons have animportant duty to perform, arising out of our connexion with cur colonies and foreign possessiow.— As Christians we ought to deplore, that this duty has been so long neglected, but surely I may now appeal, to you, as Christians, and as Protestants, if the pure word of GOD should not be circulated through all our C. , lonies and Dependencies. The principle of the Bible Society is not a theory, but a practical opera tion, which has been in exercise for fourteen years ; and by its exertions the Holy Scriptures have teen translated into many languages ; fhe names of some of which we were scarcely acquainted with. If upon so solemn and important a subject it could be al lowed to feel pride, I should feel a national pride that so extensive, so benevolent an Institution originated in this country—an Institution which conveys the best of blessings to every nation—to every people. And is it, I would ask, not a means of promoting . British influence and British power among the nations who are thus enlightened by British benevolence It is a duty we owe to GOD, who has so benefited this country by bestowing upon us such innumerable blessings—who enabled us to weather the storm, to surmount the difficulties of one of the most moment ous periods, and crowned the nation with a glorious peace. It is a duty we owe to PROVIDENCE, to make, all mankind feel that, in acknowledging the favours Heaven has bestowed upon ds, we sue anxious to convey tb them the greatest blessing Heaven eau bestow, by circulating the Word of Eternal Life in the most extensive way we possibly can.—(The Noble Lord was warmly applauded on the conclu . sion of the above address.) 1 The Rev. Messrs. BARTLETT, WI; ITE, BURMA , SA NUYS, - TAnDY, E , :q. and ocher Gentlemen, seve rally addressed the Meeting in appropriate and do quent speeches, after which the assemblage broke up, hidais interested in the objects of the new Society. IRELAND. Extract of a letter, dated Market Hill (County of Armagh), ,October 10:—" Moaday last, one of the Orange Lodges of this district assembled at the 'Ver ner Arms, in this town, to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of James Winer, Esq. and to admit some new members. About thirty-five persons sat down to dinner, and in about five minutes after a most dreadful crash was heard in the lower part of the house to proceed from the upper rooms. The land lord ran up stairs, but his progress was impeded by an immense quantity of rubbish, dust, slates, and lath, rushing down. Assistance was immediately pro cured, when it was discovered that the roof of the house had fallen in, and came with such irresistible force on the floor over the dining-room, that the ceik ins of the latter gave way, and overwhelmed the unfortunate people at dinner with its ruins. Eight people have been taken out dead ; sixteen have been dreadfully mutil.ned ; several of them have their limbs broken, and only few of them are expected to recover :.-the rest are dreadfully mangled. COUNTY OF LIMERICK. As the police from Newcastle, under the com mand of Lieutenant PERCY, were paroling on Tue.- day night last, they met a large body of Men near Killeedy, all mounted, two on each horse, armed anti dressed in white, who, on being challenged and ordered to surrender, fled in different directions; the police then fired and Wounded one man, who with another they took prisoners. The Drumcolloher party of police, who were also patreling in the same direction by Mr. PERCY'S orders, arrested two mo e men, who were brought into Newcastle, and have since been committed to jail by GODFREY MASSY, Esq. The zeal of this :mail party to pursue the lu gitives, obliged Mr. l'Ency to leave the wounded man at a respectable farmer's house till his return, when, accompanied by GODFREY Massy, Esq. and a party of the 40dr regiment, they found the man had been removed, and, though a diligent search was directly made, they could not succeed in re taking him, but found in the course of the search, guns, pistols, and ammunition, horses, saddles, hats, shoes, &c. also a dead horse. Wednesday se'nnight, a fellow named MO/a/y, en tered Park House, the property of the Right Rev, Doctor TUOHY, but was prevented from robbing it by the vigilance of the housekeeper, who, with the assistance of her son, secured the fellow, who is lodged in jail. I COUNTY OF KERRT. TRALEE, OCTOBER 10.—It is reported that some of the discontented characters of the neighbouring County have found their way into this town, and have endeavoured to proselyte some of our poorer inhabi tants, whose distresses they hope will cause them to lend a ready ear to their wicked and seductive arts. We hear that persons have been sworn not to pay tythes or taxes. Greatly, indeed, as we may rejoice at anything in the order of PROVIDENCE which has.* tendency to ameliorate the condition of the poor, yet we turn with abhorrence from those blasphemous pro ceedings, where GOD is solemnly invoked to sanction designs of lawlessness and tumult, commenced under the obligation of an oath. Let it be recollected, that the poor man forsakes his best friend, and, indeed, his only consolation, when he forsakes his Goo ; and that between riot and contempt of Gob, there is but one step. The City of Bristol is about to be improved by the erection of a handsome bridge over a branch of the Frome. MURDER AT HIGHGATE —ln the expectation that circumstances might probably have been brought forward to implicate Barrel in the charge of num der, prior to the commencement of the Sessions, the Rev. Dr. Owen, of Highgate, on the last examina tion, appointed yesterday for Barrett and his wife being again brought up in custody, in order that they might hear any evidence brought forward against them. Mr. HARMER, the solicitor for tile prosecu. tion, thought it, however, unnecessary for them to be brought from Ncsrgate, the Sessions being so nearly approaching ; but, in their absence, recommended that every exertion might be made to forward the ends of justice, by tracing even the most frivolous matter to the bottom. It was intended to have brought forward a private watchman, late in the employ of Mr. Rothschild, who discharged him for having stab bed the coachman in a quarrel, but he has not yet been found. The prisoners, Barret and his wife, stand fully committed for ti ial on the charge of robbery at Mr. Rothschild's, and it is expected that their trial will be brought forward at the Old Bailey, in the course of next week. DREADFUL FlRE.—Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the South side of Valentine-place, in the Surrey-road, about half way between the New-cut and the Magdalen Hospital. It began in an oil and colour shop. The fire rapidly involved every part of the house, and .communicated with the next. Assistance was promptly sent for, and two or three engines soon arrived, but either from want of water, or from ignorance where to find the plugs, the hi men and the ❑eighbours w ete con demned for more than half an hour to witness the pro gress of the conflagration, without being able to take a single step to impede or arrest its course. One woman, who was in the second floor, after the flames had caught the lower parts of the house, and blazed out of the window around her, threw herself down, and was caught in a blanket.—The two houses that first caught Me were rapidly destroyed, and a third was nearly burnt down, when (about twelve o'clock) water was found, and the engines began to play, and in less than half an hour the Activity of the firemen triumphed, and the inhabitants of the neighbouring houses, who were trembling for their safety, and beginning to remove their property, wets letieved front alarm and appiehenston.
