The Nassau, British schooner, loaded with arms, having cleared out from London for Gibraltar, at-1 tempted to go into Corunna, but not finding the state of things there very inviting, she proceeded to Vigo, being, as the Master stated, in want of water. Ar riving off Vigo, it was found that that place was in possession of Morillo and the French ; therefore (Gon k nows w hy) he did not choose to take water in there. Off the mouth of that harbour, however, upon a de sert island, he found Sir It. Wilson and three com panions, who had fled thither two days before for their lives, leaving others of their comrades to make the best of their way from Vigo in an English ship, which was lying there, but on board of which Sir Robert dared not stay, for the Spaniards were infu riated against him, for having deceived them by false promises of a large body of troops, coming from England to their assistance. The Nassau being still in want of water, put into Lisbon, where, as soon as it was known who was on board (for from the mode in which the Master reported his passengers, Sir Ro bert's being there was at first concealed), a guard was placed on board, the Government suspecting that Sir Robert, arriving in a vessel having such a cargo, was come with the intent of distributing fresh Procla mations to the Portuguese nation, or of aiding those, so disposed, to act up to the spirit of his former ones. —A judicial investigation, however, which was held on board, having made it clear that thrgquivocation d the Master arose only from the apprehension that the name of Sir It. Wilson might cause him to be de tained, he was, after three or four days delay, which were occupied by these proceedings, suffered to pro ceed to sea. It is supposed that he is gone to assist t Creeks. AL:GUST 17.—Lest. there should appear any mis statement regarding Sir Robert Wilson's affair, I beg to tell you how the circumstance, which has been much talked of here, occurred. The Government sent down an order to detain the ship when she was upon the point of going out to sea, but unfortunately the order reached the guard on board, two hours be fore it reached the Governor of the Tort. When, therefore, the British Consul asked the Governor if the ship might proceed, be said yes; but when he weht on board to tell the Captain so, the guard said it should not sail. The Consul persisted that he had obtained permission, and the sailors began to prepare ff,r sailing, when the guard drew their swords and cut some of the ropes ; but no person was hurt. Some si , .ister reports were ci:culated respecting this affair, 1) , .:( s u ely neither the guard, the Consul, nor the Go. vei nor was in fault. The whole was caused by the eelay of the messenger with the order. It was at tempted to create the impression of some disrespect being irtended towards the English flag; but the Se cretary of State heating of it, sent to the British Mi nister to assure him the whole was purely accidental. WINDSOR, SEPT. I.—Tuesday his MAJESTY 1111 !lately inspected the apartments in Windsor Castle which are preparing for his reception. The altera firms throughout the Palace have not been very con siderable, and the repairs have been confined to those which are strictly necessary. The suite of rooms more especially devoted to his MAJESTY are those formerly occupied by the QUEEN and the Princess Etazaserst. These are lofty and spacious, and have been fitted up and furnished in the most handsome manner. They command the most beautiful views over the Great Park, Cooper's Hill, and the surrounding country. The music-room and the dining-room are aho preparing for public entertainments. On State occasions, his MAJ EST Y will hold his Court in the splendid apartments which are now shewn to the Public. The Upper or Queen's Lodge is immediately to be sold, by order of the Surveyor-General of his Majesty's Board of Works. By its removal the fine •iews of the forest will be opened to the Castle•hill, and the magnificent avenue of the Long Walk will attain that object for which it must have been planted, viz, as a road to the Castle. Mr. Secretary PEEL has made_ a formal communi cation to the agent of Sir GEORGE JERNINO HAM, stating that no opposition will be made on the part of the Crown to Sir GEORGE'S claim to the Barony of Stafford. In consequence of this notification, as soon as the necessary preliminaries of the claim can be carried through the forms of the Hou-e of Lords, this ancient title will make its re-appearance in the Peer age. Some awkwardness may arise from the exist ence of the Barony and Marquisate of Stafford, but we presume the difficulty will be solved by the Mar quis assuming what is understood to be the original title conferred upon him, that of Staffordshire. The cases of the Earl of Buckinghamshire and the Mar quis of Buckingham are nearly a precedent for this. Previously to the Marquis c,f Buckingham's creation, the Earl was commonly termed Earl of Buckingham. RATS ! RA Ts !—The Highlands of Perthshire have lately been overrun by rats. The lowlands used to be the favourite residence of this enterprising species of vermin; but within the last two or three years they have pushed their settlements in the districts of Strathtay, Appin of Dull, Fortinghall, and Breadal bane, most amazingly. During the present season they have been known to devour whole litters of pigs and broods of poultry ; and mothers begin to appre hend danger from them to their helpless children. A DELPHI THEATRE.—Mr. Rims last night again delighted a numerous and Luhionableassemblage with his Trifles Light as Air. Vauxhall Gardens increased in numbers and in fashion on Friday and Monday evenings. Friday nearly 8000 remits attended, and amongst them several families of distinc tion, whom peculiar circumstances have detained in London. Bartholomew Fair was proclaimed this day with the customary rites and ceremonies. Among what are called " Domestic Items," in an American Paper, we meet with the following : " An Earthqn .ke was lately felt at Ogdensburgh," &c. Monday evening as Mr. VINIXO, of Hampstead Marsh was returning home from a shooting party at bledhurst, Hem, in his gig, the horse became restive a short distance front Ilushhy, rrn the gig up a bank, and overturned it with great force. and Mr. VIKING uas killed. Tna FALSE A LARM.—An old woman that sold ale, and who had a very careless bar-maid, being at Chinch, fell asleep during the sermon, and miluaily let her old-fashioned clasped Bible fall, which making a great noise, she exclaimed, half awake, 14 There now, you jade, there's another jug broke r RAMSGATE, AUGUST•3O. Our illustrious visitors continue to enliven the place by their condescending presence. Every morn. ing their Royal Highnesses promenade our fine sands, with the little PrincessALExastriarriA,on her favourite donkey. Friday night her Royal Highness entertained a select number with - a concert, at her residence, Townley House. There are several good houses still to let, but the town generally may be said to be full. Our worthy I patron, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, is returned in his yacht from thelsle of Wight, with his health much amended, and we hope he may live many years to enjoy the pleasures arising from his aquatic excursions.—Our latest arrivals are-- The Hon.

The 82d (or Wiltshire) Regiment of Foot having been re lieved at Halifax by the 524 (or Oxfordshire) Light Infantry, is ordered to embark on board the Cato and Vibella transports, for England. Captain O'Dormetes troop of the 15th Hussars marched into Ipswich Barracks on Thursday last, from Norwich, to which place the bead-quarters of the Bth Hussars are now removed. NAVAL YNTELLIGENCE.

GAZETTZ EXTBAORDIVART!....The Gazette of last night presents a great curiosity, and should have been published as an Extraordinary Gazette, as it does not contain the nano of a single new Bankrupt, in either town or country. Monday, the attention of a considerable crowd of persons was attracted, in consequence of the suspen sion of a man in a basket, on the dome of St. Paul's, who was employed laying some sheet copper thereon. In this perilous situation, he performed his task with the utmost coolness. The iron trade in the counties of Salop and Staf ford are in the fullest state of activity; the prices are low, but the demand for the article exceeds the sup ply ; and almost every one that can handle a hammer is employed in the nail trade; the population are con tented and happy. The storm on Tuesday last raged with great vio lence in Sussex. At Hertsmoncaux two fine oxen were struck dead by the lightning, whilst grazing in a meadow. The subtle fluid also descended on a house in the street, where a school was kept, and set fire to its thatched roof; the inmates (chiefly chil dren) quitted it in the utmost tenor, running in every direction crying for their parents. Assistance being promptly given, the fire was extinguish ed i without materially injuring the building. oats were also set fire to by the lightning at Northiam, but the flame was extinguished before it had time to spread. Several sheer in Romney Marsh were also struck dead by the lightning, which was extremely vivid at Old and New Romney. As the shooting season has commenced, we hope to hear nothing further, for some time at least, of the unsportsmanlike feats of pigeon shooters. HOP INTELLIGLNCE. Bonoucn, Sere.

M. 4 SONIC LVTELLIGENa. The Provincial Grand Meeting for the county of Dorset was held and solemnized at Bridport„ on Wednesday last. A very numerous and respectable assemblage of the Brethren from the respective Lodges in the province took place at an early hour. Brother ALPRID NicEoLarra, W.M. Brother Ito atzsoz, P.M. and the Officers and Brethren of the Royal George Lodge, met . at nine o'clock, in the Town Hell. At ten, the D.P.G.M. Brother Pane, in the absence of the R.W.P.G.M. opened the Pro. vincial Grand Lodge in due form, attended by the Rev. E. NIPS" Provincial Grand Chaplain (pro temper:), the Rev. T. DYER, the Grand Officers and Brethren in their proper clothing. Having practised the rites and customs peculiar to the craft, the pro. cession was formed, and proceeded to church, at tended by a band of music, and the provincial ban ners; the whole producing a most imposing effect, and drew together a more numerous concourse of spectatois than ever was witnessed on any former occasion. On the procession entering the Church, the or ganist, Mr. EMSIRTT, performed an excellent volun tary. Brother the Rev. T. DYER, read the Services of the day-Ist Lesson, Bth chap. Ist Book of Kings; 2d Lesson, 17th chap. of St. John ; during which an Antheni, the music composed by Brother R. C. Mums, P.G. organist, was sung by him with great 'taste. The Acting P.G. Chaplain, delivered a most eloquent and impressive sermon from the following texts of Scripture: Matthew, 22d chap. 38th and 39th verses, which etched the most serious attention of the Brethren, and a very crowded congregation. After Divine Service the Procession returned to the. Town Hall, where the D.P.G.M. in the name of the Fraternity, returned thanks to Brother E. NEIMAN, for his animated and appropriate discourse; and to Brother T. DYER, for the very pathetic manner in which he officiated on this occasion. After the re maininig duties of the P.G.L. were gone through, it was closed ; when the Brethren sat down to a sump tuous dinner, prepared by Brother SAUNDERS, and served up with his accustomed liberality. We cannot omit expressing the pleasure the Bre thren derived from the attendance of Brother Colonel B. MADISON, from Bath, whose eloquent ad dresses to the Officers and Brethren were received with unbounded applause. After dinner some excellent songs were sung by Brothers HISCOCIL, MUDGE, T. PITFIRLD, EDWARDS, GIFFORD, Paacy, and &ADVISOR; which tended in no small degree to the hilarity of the festive board. On the health of Brother ALYRED NlcHourres. the W. M. of the Royal George Lodge, being drank, after returning thanks in an energetic speech, in be half of the Officers and Brethren of his Lodge, Bro ther RoBINSoN was called to sing the Maid of Mar hook, which he gave in his usual animated style. The brethren returned at an early hour, fraught with that harmony and concord peculiar to Masons. COUNT BETTERA. It is already known that an order has been issued for the removal of this person out of the kingdom, under Elm Aliitts Act. As soon as this circumstance became known to the Count, he contrived to possess himself of a brace of pistols and a sword, and swore that he would shoot the first man who dared attempt to expel him: he kept the door of his room constantly locked, and threatened destruction to all who dared to enter. Indeed, so resolute and determined was he, that Mr. Wood, a messenger belonging to theAlien office, was dispatched to Queen-square Police-office on Saturday evening, for the assistance of a couple of police-o ffi cers. The Magistrates, however, de clined interfering, but allowed the officers to go, if they thought proper; when Pople and Handley volun teered their services upon this occasion, and pro ceeded softly to the Count's room, at the Alien-office, the door of which they found locked. They then held a consultation together, how they should best disarm the Count with the least danger to themselves. They spoke to the Count through the key-hole, who declares!, with an oath, that he would not surrender himself until certain conditions should be complied with ; and swore that the first who entered his room forcibly should be a dead man. The officers again consulted together, and, by a manmuvre, obtained entrance to the Count's apartment. He made a des- Ferate attempt to break from them, and to seize his pistols, which lay on the table, but was foiled in his endeavours, and completely overpowered by the prompt and resolute conduct of the officers, who tied his hands with a handkerchief, which effectually pre vented his doing any mischief. After he was secured, he told the officers that if they had not had recourse to stratagem, he certainly should have blown their brains out, and the officers had every reason to believe his assertion, for on examining the pistols they were found to be heavily loaded; he had also a sword by his side, which he was prevented from using. A coach was procured, into which the officers got with the prisoner, who is a powerful athletic man, about 40. After travelling a short distance in the coach, they took a post-chaise, and drove to- Gravesend, ,where they arrived safe with the' prisoner at two o'clock on Sunday morning, when he was imme diately placed on board the Alien vessel, which was about to sail for the )afore, where he will await the arrival of a vessel to take him to Ostend. The Loan Cuitsicirs.wa possesses strength and ac tivity equal to any man of hii age. His Lordship is in his 74th year. Duiing his residence at Encons, his seat in Dorsetshire, his Lordship breakfasts regularly at eight; and goes shooting (as soon as the season commences) at nine; a sport to which his Lordship is very vouch attached, and is allowed to be as good a shot as any Nobleman or Gentleman in the coun• try. His Lordship walks over so much ground in the course of a day, that his gamekeeper is frequently knocked up. A Floating Chapel has been. opened in the port of Dublin, for the use of the seamen. A vessel of 260 1 tons has been fitted up for that purpose. This is the first chipel of the kind in the Established Church. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, SEPT: 5.

Coroner, at the White Hart Inn, Hampton-Wick. The first evidence called was R;ehard Hawks, who being sworn, stated he was a watchman of King ston: about Eve minutes past twelve o'clock on Sun day night he was walking along in Bridge -street, Kingston; he then saw a horse and gig come along the bridge at a rapid rate; there was no one in it Being unable to stop it, he followed . it until it got clear of the town. When he came upon the bridge, the first object he then saw was deceased lying on his face by the gateway of this (the White Hart) Inn: he turned him over, when blood came out of his mouth, and he appeared in a state of insensibility. At this time he saw a Gentleman on the other side of the road without a hat, and heard a noise a little farther up the road, where there was another gig overturned, which was about one hundred yards distant : two more Gen• tlemen then came up, when the witness told them that there was a Gentleman lying on the ground very much hurt; they all then came to the door, the house was knocked up, and witness went to Kings ton for a surgeon ; he shortly returned, when he found deceased sitting in a chair' in the kitchen; the surgeon found a terrible wound in the back part of the head ; he bled him very copiously, but he was all the time insensible; witness then carried him up stairs and laid him on a bed, got off his boots, and then returned to Kingston with the surgeon to pro cure something for the deceased's head, and some medicines; witness shortly returned, and found the landlord lip stairs. He had been there but half a minute when he called out that the Gentleman was dead. William Brown Ramsay, Esq. of Limbert's Hotel, Conduit -street, was next sworn.—He stated he was in company with the deceased the whole of Sunday: in the evening they were coming towarcls' town from Hampton-court In a gig, the horse in 'which belonged to Mr. Bennett, of Burton Mews. / Captain Mildmay wishing to come up with Messrs. Wombwell and Haw kins, who were in another gig, and had proceeded a little way before him, drove, when the horse got into a canter, and came in contact with the other chaise, and overturned it. Witness and Captain Mildmay were both thrown out by the sudden jerk, and were much stunned by the fall; when be had recovered he found the gig gone, and Captain Mildmay lying on his face; this was before the watchman came; he called for assistance, when he instantly heard Mr. Wombwell's voice. The watchman's evidence he con sidered perfectly correct. The Coroner inquired if the horse was at all vicious? The witness replied it did not appear to be so. The Coroner considered tkis was evidence sufficient to convince the Jury it was purely accidental. If, however, they should be of a different opinion, more witnesses would be called, and examined. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied with the evidence adduced, and after taking a view of the body, returned a verdict of—Accidental Death. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PEDESTRIANISM. . MATCH TROY lITOZ-PATX so Reanuso.--Capt. Fairborn set off at twelve o'clock on Sunday night to go on foot to the thirty eight mile stone near Reading, Berks, and return (76 miles), in nineteen kours. The match was made ar month ago at the Tun, fry soverei e gns, and heavy bets were pending at a bo ut 5 to 4 on . Th pedestrian reached Longford (16 miles) at three o'clock, and refreshed with a glass of wine. He reached Maid enhead (26 miles) at five o'clock, and halted half an hour and ate a fowl. He went out of his toad at Harr-hatch, and laid down:it a friend', house, at Wargrave, for an hour. He reached half the distance at half-past eight o'clock, and returned back to Wargrave (seven miles), at ten o'clock, where be breakfasted, and started to do the thirty-three miles back to London at a quarter before eleven, allowing himself eight hours and a quar ter to perform it in. He reached Longford (18 miles) at tea minutes before three o'clock, and,, when at Hounslow he had nearly three hours left. He arrived at the Park gate ten minutes within his time, and won the match cleverly. The pedestrian's friend, a Mr. Nash, accompanied the umpire in a chaise, with provisions. At Leith, on Thursday lat, M'MiUan, a pedestrian from ibizbnd, undertook to walk 40 miles in eight successive hours. A quarter of a mile was measured off on the high road bound ing Leith Links, on which Alsblidan started at 16 minutes past twelve o'clock, and finished at 41 minutes past seven, having completed his arduous undertaking in seven hours 25 minutes. fol‘Millan is a young man *La slender and active make ; he has a shuffling shambling walk, but gets rapidly over the ground. On finishing, he appeared comparatively fresh, and, it is said, was merely trying his powers, for a match shortly to be decided. During the performance the whole fanciful world of Leith ap peared to be on the eui sae. A prodigious trowd was in attend ance, of which the fair sex formed a preponderating majority. ROWING-MATCH. A boat-ram for 10 sovereigns a-dde took place on Monday morning at three o'clock, from the Tower to Gravesend, be tween Mr. Tomlin', of Gravel-lane, and Mr. Ghent, of Allll - which produced excellent sport. Both kept together to Woolwich, when Mr. Ghent shot a-head, and kept it several mil a. Mr. Tomlin. reached his adversary again at Northiteet, when both laid close to at their work, and made an excellent race. Mr. Tomlin' won it easily at last, as his opponent gave in some distance from the place of destination. The Earl of Itosstvw, as Provincial Grand Master of Fife, is to lay the foundation stone of the new pier for the Dundee ferry, at Newpoit, designed by Mr. Tu.- roan, engineer; and the Hon. WILLIAII MAUL; Grand Master for Angus, is to assist at the ceremony. The different Lodges of the two Counties are to attend. The trustees and subscribers are to accompany the procession, and to dine with the Grand Masters of the two counties end the brethren, after the ceremony. It is expected that this magnificent work will be in such a sate of forwardness before winter, as to afford by that time material accommodation to the Public. Wednesday, as some post-horses belonging to Mr, Miller, of the George Inn, Southampton, were passing aver Northam Bridge, a valuable mare broke from her rein, and ran with such violence against the toll gate that she broke her neck, and died instantly. OXYGIZN AND HYDROGEN ! A lecturer in Dublin ' was describing the nature of gas, when a blue stock ing Lady very clamorously inquired of a Gentleman near her what he meant by oxy gin and hydro-gin, or what was the difference? " Very little, Madam," 'said he," by oirgin we mean pure gin, and by hydro • ' , gix and water r COCKNEY pIALOGUE. Cit,Villlana! I ventsiny tig. ' &r.--Yltch lac, Kir ?
