LIVER POOL, AUGUST 25. Great antiety was felt by all classes this morning, as the clouds borea most threatening aspect, and from nine o'clock until nearly twelve, the rain poured down in torrents; but notwithstanding the unfavour able state of the weather, some thousands of our townsmen had assembled on the Prince's and George's Piers, to witness the embarkation of Mr. HUSICIESON and Mr. CANNING, with the numerous party who were invited to meet those Gentlemen, on board the steam-packet Emerald Isle. The vessel was moored.about 200 yards from the pier, and the whole party, consisting of upwards of t;00 Gentlemen, were taken on board at about eleven o'clock, by the.Sea combe steam-boat. The arrangements were very ex cellent, ani the appearance of the ships in the Docks and River, decorated with numerous flags, enlivened the scene in spite of the rain. Mr. CANNING, Mr. Husaissoa, and Mr. J. GLausroae, cline on board at half-past eleven, and were received by the company with three times three hearty cheers,the band playing Gon save the King." The reception which these Gentlemen met with must have been highlygratifying to them; all classes, from the wealthy merchant to the poor labourer, appeared anxious to testify their respect for the Right Hon. Elecretitry and our worthy Representative. For three hours the ves,:el most majestically over the swift current of the Mer sey, and, during the greater part of the time, the river presented a most brilliant and gratifying spec tacle. The rain bad ceased, and though the sun did not shine forth in all his splendour, yet the town and harbour on the one side, and the numgisus villas on the e shore, with the steam anrother vessels Which sy;:, e constantly passing and repassing, formed a raost - dclightful prospect. The a hole of the party landed at three o'clock, and were received a ith loud aard hearty cheers from the crowds who were assembled on the Parade. AUGUST 26. Yesterday evening.

Too Cerions by 1141; or, Marplot in Spain, was performed here last night, for the first time. The Piece is assisted by some pretty music, and contained in two acts. Charles Gripe ( MAKER) having been left executor, by his deceased father, repairs to Spain, to make the necessary arrangements respecting the pro perty. Marplot (Witexcii; accompanies him, cat. Tying with him the smtne insatiable curiosity which cau•.cd him so many cutEngs, miseries, and troubles. in a less jealous and less mysterious country. On their arrival at Mad , id, they encounter Colonel Ravefin (PRARMAN), who is on the eve of matrimony with fleidora (Miss CARR) without the knowledge of her Aunt, and Charles falls in love with a pair of black eyes and a pretty foot. The incidents are created by ' , the restless spirit of Marplot, who, from knowing only a little of their plans, destroys most of them ; en dangers his r,•.va life by a perpetual interference in the affairs of others; and, in the boundless spirit of cu riosity, mounts a chimney, and descends before the affrighted lovers, more like a devil than man, at the critical moment when bliss or misery was to be pro nounced. Up to the latest moment be persecutes his friends with his kind offices, and at the instant that the Colonel is bearing away his newly wedded bride, ..Atarplot climbs the balcony, breaks to fragments the favourite vases, and awakens the fury of the Aunt.— Gripe's intrigue, however, with Donna Theresa (Mina DANCE) has placed his life in jeopardy, it having been discovered by the Lady's father ; but he is rescued from his troubles by the ingenuity of his wife, who has arrived unknown to him, and in disguise. An ex planation ensues ; Mr. Charles Gripe is reclaimed by the affection of his Lady, Colonel Revell,: is possessed of the hand of Isidora, and the luckless Marplot con cludes his peregrinations by being well ducked by the nob. The Piece was well received. IRELAND.

Extract of a letter frim Madeira, dated the 16th August : " The William Neilson, from Live, pool, arrived here on the Bth instant, and I am sorry to inform you, there was a sailor on board who had the small.pox, of so malignant a kind that she was ordered away immediately by the Governor here, she was at anchor about eighteen hours, and the only things we got from her were the letters, and those with difficulty ; she was nearly full of cargo for is place. Ido not know what the Captain will dowith it, hilt I suppose he will sell the whole in Demerara for account of those concerned, but should the goods be sent from Demerara for this, they will not he admitted.

The Board of Health was petitioned to allow the William Neilson to perform a rigorous quarantine, but they would not allow it, and insisted upon her making sail immediately. I have taken every measure which occurred to me to be for our safety,•and petitioned to have the goods landed and put into the Lazaretto, or some proper place ; but that was not allowed, and I have entered a protest in the Consul's office accordingly."

PRINCE HOHENLOHE AND HIS MIRACLES. PROM TIM DUBLIN JOURNAL. No man of common sense ever entertained two opinions regarding the pretended miracles of Prince liohenlohe—the point is decided—decided to be gross and scandalous delusion; an impudent fraud, for the base purpose of degrading the human charac ter, and exciting rebellion not only against the em pire of mason, but against the liberal institutions of all free countries. Miss Lalor's recovery of speech was trumpited by Dr. Doyle, as a miracle, and Mrs. S.uart's partial re storation to an improving state of health has been no less pompously blazoned by Dr. Murray. But what do these Reverend Gentlemen prove ?—They shew clearly, that they are either fools themselves, or some• thing worse—that they are either the dupes of fraud, or that they are participators in the shameful impo sition. From this dilemma these 66 men of piety" cannot possibly extricate themselves, and what opi nion do they suppose the world will form of them ? In the Ecclesiastical history of Ireland, the late events will be recorded b and amidst the light which now shines forth, it will be stated. as most extraordinary, that two Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, in the year 1825, had the audacity to maintain, that tiro natural occurrences were miracles performed by a German Impostor ! _ _ _ But to remove the veil which covers Mrs. Stuart's case, it is only necessary to refer to Dr. Cheyne. He is an eminent physician, and too shrewd to be de ceived by artful contrivances. A letter was addressed to him requesting his opinion on two points; namely, whether there was any thing saran/Zeus in the change which took place in Mrs. Stuart's health, and whe ther it could be explained on natural principles? It was certainly taking much liberty with Dr. Cheyne's character, to put such questions to him, because none could suppose that he would ascribe the partial recovery of this Lady's health to a miraculous cause, and such is the imperfection of medical silence, that he might not be able to account for the change on natural principles ; but, it seems, he felt no difficulty in answering the queries, and the following is the reply to the letter which was addressed to him, and it must satisfy any man but a superstitious bigot, that the pretended miracle is a shameful deception: " Dublin, Aug. 22, 1823." ----- • -• Mills Dear Sir—l felt it necessary to see Doctor M and Mr. Macnamsra before I could answer your letter of the t Otb. Con sidering that the friends of Mrs. Stuart, of Ranelagh Convent, might not think it expedient to publish our certificates relative to the state of her health, we resolved not to give aihopinion on the subject, and not in any way to commit ourselves individually. "These certificates having been published, I have, in conse quence of your letter, waited upon Doctor Mills and Mr. Mac namara, and as they leave me to the exercise of my own discre tion, I can have no hesitation in answering your questions. To the first I reply, that there was not, in nay opinion, anything miraculous in the change which took place in Mrs. Stuart's health : to the second, that her case can, to my entire satisfac tion, be accounted for on natural principles. " I am, dear Sir, yours, " Rev. Robert Daly, &c. " J. CHEYNE." Lord Dow nAs, who is attached to the British Embassy at Petersburgh, is mentioned among the recent depirtures from that capital. The Prussian Journal, HEKATE, nas been prohi bited, by an order of Government, throughout the Prussian dominions. ST. JOHN (NEW BRUNSWICK), JUNE 17.—Thursday last a detachment of our local militia were employed in actual service. lindea e direction of a Nlagistvte, they set out for the African settlement in - the neigh hourhood of Loch Lomond, in this county, it having been represented that spirit of insubordination and insurrection had appeared among its swarthy popu lation, and that they had bidden defiance to several constables who had been sent out to secure the.ring leadev.. It appeared that they had a little common-. wealth of their own, with aJudge, Attorney-General, INlagistrates, and constables—that they had their own laws, to which everyone was bound to swear al legiance, otherwise to be publicly whipped. They were furnished with arms and ammunition, and at the sound of a horn the whole of the sable tribes were immediately congregated and placed in the attitude of hostility against any white man who had the har dihood to ,approach their habitations. Before our gallant 'defenders, however, they surrendered, and some of great find into the woods : the flash of arms was too powerful for their vision ; they were in stantly disarmed, and five of the ringleaders, with the Judge at their head, were taken prisoners, brought to : town, and safely lodged in jail. The Attorney-Ge nerai has since delivered himself up to justice. SPORTING INTELLMEXCE. PUG! LIS Two Frenchmen, lately imported, quarrelled after dinner, on Monday last, at a ltestaureteur't in the ntighbourhood of the Haymarket. After an abundance bf violent altercation, and of those oaths which always accompany a trencisMan's anger, abe of them, the most pugnacious, proposed to settle the dispute by a combat a r Anglois, to which the other, after a copious evacua- Oen of Sacra, agreed. A ring was formed by a few of their friends in a small room adjoining the coffee-roodt ; but from ignorance of the laws of honour in these cases, neither seconds nor bottle-holders were appointed. One of the parties was a fine bulbous youth, with qualities prominent as an Alderman's fine chubby rosy cheeks, and an immelise pair of black whiskers, which he twirled indignantly at his opponent. The other was a lively spare-ribbed creature, making up in length what his oppo nent had in breadth. He had a sort of poetical th' ess about him, and the quickness of his temper made the presumption stronger, that he belonged to the Genus irraobile Vatum. In weight they were nearly matched, being, judging from length and height, about twelve stone. There was no umpire or time keeper named. The short rule was cut and come again. The Englishmen who were present scorned to interfere, or give the benefit of their experience to either, and the set to conimenced at seven o'clock precisely, amidst loud crie► front the friends of the combatants, of Vice Louis, Vice .Antoine. Round the Ist.—Louis was our fat friend, and seemed one of the prudent sort, and determined not to give a chance away. lie I stood with one arm raised high above his bead, and the other crossed over his stomach for protection and support. Antoine, who was a busy body, made at him with his claws extended, and flew at his face like a tiger. Louis met him with a butt of the head, like a young bullock. Both came dcwit—tio mischief. 2. Louis gathered himself up at his leisure, and stood again at his "old ward, thus." Antoine, swearing like a trooper, jumped up, made a pas asod about the room, then, with a spring, grasped the neckcloth of Louis, and, hanging from it with one hand, scratched and tore his nose and cheeks with the other. Louis twisted his hand in the curls of Antoine, dragged away the best he could; and they both again went rolling down together. 3. Passion seemed getting the better of Louis, till his cheeks became deadly pale, except where the marks of Antoine's nails were left. Ile puffed out a dreadful oath, raised his left foot to an angle, and let fly at the cnisine of Antoine. Antoine most dextrously made a dos a dos, received the blow where it did least harm, and then, wheeling round, be returned the indignity with a profusion of kicks on the ancles and knees of the other. 4. Louis again went to work with his feet, and Antoine met him readily at the same game. Then, in a close, grasping with both hands the coat of Louis, he tore it from the collar to the swallow tail. Poor Louis retreated in utter dismay ; for a scratch in the face he cared not—for a kick on the ancles he cared not — but to see his best coat tattered and hanging about him in shreds, was a misfortune too powerful for endurance. Nature gave way, and lie sobbed aloud, " Pauvre Louis ! Pauvre Louis !" The ring was broken in, and the friends of Louis consoled him for his torn garment, while Antoine capered about like a madman, giving at the top of his voice a profusion of AntranslatablE oaths. The cries of the one and the groans of the other spread an alarm through the house. Up came cook, with a. white skull-cap, jacket, and apron, and a dredging-box under his atm ; Betty chambermaid, with the sweeping-brush in her hand; and the kitchen-wench, a Bristol girl, calling out fur fair play ; with a whole train of assistants, boots, errand-boys, &c. &c. 5. The sight of the ladies gave Louis fresh courage and fresh wind, and bursting suddenly from those who held him, rolled up to Antoine, and gave him a back-handed blow on the side of the head, which brought him on his knees; then grasping An toine's head between his knees, he belaboured hint on the back with both hands, until his knuckles were cut with the buttons of the waist of his adversary's coat. Every blow was strong enough to kill a fly, and each sounded on the empty carcase of Antoine, iPae a yokung child's rattle on his first drum. The French men present, afraid of murder, interfered and separated them. 6. The men could not be held, and came again literally to the scratch, for fixing theft nails in each other's laces, they tore away till the blood came down in torrents; then rolling on the floor, they kicked, they bit, they scratched each other without mercy, swearing all the time—the ladies screaming, the kitchen wench hawlin nut L .r fair play, the En Usti Gentlemen laughing immoderately at at the manly ex h ibition S of French science, until at length the uproar became so great the do or s were besieged with a mob, so that ft was necessary, for the credit of the !abuse, to put an end to the battle, and the combatants were se parated and conveyed to different apartments to refit. The Poet was restive to the last, and was not taken off until, in his fury, he had broken every glass in the room. Onsleva TIONS.—This being a drawn battle, the honour is equally divided. Antoine has more game, but Louis can last the longer. A few words from Old Richmond would do wonders for either in a short time. They must be referred to him, or some other food master for instruction—but a hint may be of use for the present. They mutt fight with their hands, and not with their teet—they must use their knuckles and not their nails —they must not strike a man when he is down, and lastly they must do more and talk less. BOXING. At the conclusion of Yarmouth Races, last Week, a holing match for a purse took place, a short distance from the Race Course, between Harris and Woodford, pugilists of time cele brity, which attracted a great number of the Fancy. Th- ring was formed in a field near Gorlestone, so as to avoid interrup tion. The combatants are young men, Harris having the ad vantage of weight and strength, and Woodford that of deter mined bottom and agility. They were attended by their friends, and an umpire having been appointed, the battle commenced. . ROUND 1. The men placed themselves in fine attitudes; and, after some cautious sparring, Harris missed the mark, and re ceived a sharp blow on the breast ; a smart rally ensued, which ended in a fall, Woodford undermost. 2. Woodford made play in fine style ; but, in rushing in, re ceived a heavy blow in the body, which grassed him. 3. In this round Woodford acted, by the advice of his second, on the defensive, and some seconds elapsed before a blow was struck, when Harris, exclaiming " this won't suit me," chised with his antagonist, and some severe fibbing ensued, to the ad vantage of Woodford, who hit a-la-Vandall ; and a well-con tested round was doted by Harris at - lining the fall. 4. The betting, up to this round, had been nearly equal. On coming to the scratch Harris shewed •first blood. Woodford planted a terrible hit on Harris's eye, who returned it by a slash ing blow on Woodford's left cheek. The agility of the latter se cured for him the best of this round, and some severe fighting took place; in the struggle for the fall Harris had the worst of it.-3 to 2 on Harris. 5. The men set-to with determined resolution, and more exe cution was done in this round than in the four preceding—they stood up to each other, and returned hit fur hit some time, when Harris planted a heavy blow on the neck of Woodford, who dropped on his knee, but with great courage rose instantly, and fought his adversary round the ring, and on closing they fell ex hausted. The otitis were on Woodford. 6. This was a slaughtering round, and severely contested. The left eye of Harris was closed, and his head severely punished, while his antagonist was much bruised In the body. After spar ring a short time, Harris planted a tremendous blow on his an tagonist's nose, and the blood Bowed profusely. Very hard fighting ensued, and the combatants beat each other till Wood ford dropped from a bit on the shoulder and a slip. Betting even. 7. Woodford, at the commencement of this round, planted a terrible hit on Harris's throat, and before the latter recovered, hit him twice on the already contused left eye ; Harris retreated in good style, and placed two or three good blovn on Woodford's body, but the latter would not be denied, and he completely outfought his adversary, who was grassed by a slaughtering hit on the head. The odds were 10 to 1' in favour of Woodfot d. 8. 'The men came to the scratch in a distressed condition, but Woodford recovering himself bad th e b e st of a short round by flooring Harris. The next six rounds were of the same description—the agility and quickness of Woodford giving him the best of every round, and in the 15th Harris received another very severe hit on the throat, and time being called be was unable to stand up, and Woodford was declared the victor, amidst the cheers of his friends and admirers. Restarms.—Barris is too inactive to be a good boxer, although his strength gave him the best of the fight at the commensement. Woodford is a formidable pugilist—he only requires a little more science and care to be a good one : his fibbing is wry quick and severe, much in the style of Randall, and this, added to bard hitting, won him the battle. Fifteen pounds was the reward for the conqueror, and a round sum was gathered for the loser, who recovered soon after. The pickpockets were very active, and Many robberies were committed. On the Race-course they were not so successful, the vigilance of the couttables and town d cm having prevented depredgtim,t. . SAILING Mitcll. Yesterday the second grand Sailing Match for a Silver euji} given in honour of 'his Majesty's Birth-day, by the Owners df the Coronation Fleet, and the Proprietors of Vauxhall, svaJ sailed for by pleasure-boats of unlimited tonnage. The St. George and Spitfire did not enter on this occasion to dispute the prize. The boats started from Blackfriars to sat! in Putney, 'and back to Cumberland Gardens. Tilt: wind, between the Saudi and West quatterh, obliged Clem to tack occasionally; but having the tide under their lee they made good way to windward.— About five o'clock theyy '.sed Vauxhall-bridge. The Swift; Captain Troitghton, bf Vac:hall, Was the leading boat, chlsely followed by the Veldts, a I.treer vessel, with a leg-hail. The display of river tactic was iii B Lly anfueien and, after a well-con tested match, the Swift returned before the wind to Cumber land Gardens, beating the other bout. The Diana steam-vessel, which attended to manreuvre the little Nuadron, was thronged with gay co:nit:my. After the Swift was declared victor, by the firing of a gun, she lowered her sails and gave three cheers, in which all the spectators upon the adjacent shores and on the water joined. A band then performed GOD save the King," and the contest ended. The weather being favourable, a vast number of boats attended the match, and masses of persons appeared upon the bridges and banks of the River. The cup was delivered to the winner in Vauxhall Gardens. Mr. Troughton, the owner of the winning boat, who is a Gen tleman advanced in years, was complimented on his victory. PLYStoUTfi REGATTA. — The Plymouth Regattas on Thursday, was an exceeding pretty sight ; but it suffered much from the bad weather and continued gales, which had previo us ly b een preva ili ng f or more tan a month. Out of twenty•five yachts of the Royal Yacht Club that were intended to be present only nine beat down, against contrary winds, to be in time, viz. The lion. C. A. Pelham's Falcon, Mr. Newman's Sylph, I Mr. Chailou's Eliza, Mr. Weld's Arrow, Mr. Talbot's Giulia, Mt. Perkins's IT:tieton, Mr. Pare'S Rosabelle, Mr. Saantleies Nautilus, and Mr. Roche's New Grove. A HERON SHOT. A heron was shot by Mr. B. on Saturday last, on his farm, near Halesworth, Suffolk, which is about 12 miles from South wold, and ten from the sea coast. The rains and storms had disturbed the waters; and this heron was on the banks of a pond diving for thetas which had been agitated by the weather. From wing to wing it measured two yards; from the end of its beak to the point of its tail about a yard and a half, though the body was only the size of a common fowl, such was the length of its neck. Its bill was about seven inches long ; the colour of the bird's feathers was that of the otdinary pigeon. It was nailed against the barn doors as a trophy, and as a warning. To kill this bird, would, in former times, have b.mn a great offence; it is still a violation of the statute law of the kingdom. By 1 James I. c. 27, every person who shall shoot at, Lisa, or destroy any heron, with gun or bow, shall, on conviction before two Justices, by confession, or oath of two witnesses, be com mitted to gaol for three months, unless on conviction he pays to the churchwardens, for the use of the poor, 20s. for eats hercn ; or become bound not to offend in like nt Inner again. By 19 Henry VI I. c. 11, no person, without his own grounds, shall flea, take, or cause to be taltn, by means of craft or engine, any herons, unless it be with hawking, or with long bows, on pain of 6s. %d. Ste. By the same Act, no person without his own grounds, shall take any young herons out of the nest, on pain of 10s. in Isle manner for every young heron. And by the 25 If. VIII. c. 11, if any person, from March to June inclusive, shall take or destroy the eggs of any heron, lint shall be imp i oned for one year, and forfeit for every eg; Bd.—All these Acts :e !lain sin:venial, but they have long been obsolete. It is scarcely known, or suspected that suds 4cts exist, as consttu;.ng thd law of the land. GROUSE SHOOTING.— • nie AB/1/71S of ,' - porting for September is embellished with a beautiful Plate, engraved by Landseer in his best manner, of Pointers bunting for Game on the Moors of Yorkshire. The Plate is from a Painting by Reinagle, formerly part of the Thornton collection, and the Dog making the point is a faithful portrait of a favourite of the late Colonel's, well known in the North of Paigland. This interest ing and entertaining \l.gaziue continues to be conducted in a very superior style, its pages being enriched with communica firms from all parts of the kingdom, and the subjects treated of extending throughout the wbo!e range of Field Sports. Atioti:er division of the Work Lezords all the Sporting Occurrences of the Month, with such Noticis of Varieties in Natural History as pertain to the Chase, the Turf, the Stud, and the !ling, and such other intelligence as may interest the lover of Athletic Sports generally; the whole Torniing a very gratifying ITIIECINaIIy, and furnishing the n.Nider, for half-a-crown a month, with the collective- information of experienced Sportsmen in alt qu of the kingdom. This elegant Wolk, in fact, has rebated no• iting of the spirit with which it set out in Janu try, 1822, since which time Three Half-yearly Volumes have been published, forming a complete Register of Sporting Subjects, and embAlished with Thirty-six Cabinet Eugravings,besides numerous illustrative Cuts. The Nl.mmoutli Iron Works, which had been sus• pended for some tom?, are now again in full work. Last week, an agricultural labourer in Yoskshire hoed an acre of turnips (on which six pounds of seed had been sown) in six hours. In Ireland, although the harvest is backward. the appearance everywhere is promising ; no coi n lo !gel notwithstanding all the rains; a good deal cl ha. ley reaped; early sown potatoe.crops bad everywhete, but the late ones very healthy, and any defitiency that may be in them, will be amply supplied by the increased sowing made this year beyond the last. Marshal Nay, who has been described as an Ame rican by birth, was bprn at Satre•Louis, where his father was a cooper.—L'L•toile. An Act was passed last Session, viz. 4 Geo IV. c. 69, which is likely to afford very great accommo dation to individuals in the hal..it of importing - 10. reign wines; inasmuch as they : will, a;ter the 1014 October ensuing, be at liberty to import wines Born France, Guernsey, Jersey, and other foreign ports, in cases containing three dozen bottles, instead of being compelled, as heretofore, to import a case containing six dozens. Care, however, should be taken that the vessel bringing such wine is sixty tons register ad measurement.
