She went cif in excellent style, and amidst the &trio( a vast concolirse of people of all ranks, assembled on *suasion: after the launch the vessel was taken in tow by a anm.packet for the Thames, where she is to be fitted. A din we sod ball were given in celebration of the day, by the pro. Fitton of the ship, at the Bull Inn, Rochester, which were both ourieroasly attended. An accident, which served to throw a 4arat user the it halt, of the company, took place just as the ship lin Sven Alr. JOHN Coos, a respectable tradesman, re ining at SHOW, was attemptir.g to get on board her, when the acorn:n:4.lton ladder on which he had stepped was pulled front under luta, sod he was precipitated to the bottom of the slip, by which At was so much injured that he expired in about a quarter of bow afterwards. Saturday, the Earl of DARNLEY and family, ac companied by Sir HUNIPIIRY DAVY, paid a visit to &r ROBERT I.3mmow, at Chatham Dock-yard, and after taking a slight view of the works going on there, proceeded to Frindsbury to view the launch of the lodiaman at Messrs. BniNDLEY'S yard. The figure-head of the Berwick East Indiaman, hunched at Deptford, on Thursday, is a Scotchinan a the full national costume, and underneath him is ao inscription, " To honest men and bonny lasses r Monday se'nnight, the LORD PROVOST and Orates of Glasgow, gave an elegant entertainment, a the Town Hall, to the night Honourable Lord Stowat.L. During the last week the Glasgow colliers have Dearly all returned to their work. The proprietors ((some pits have given the men an advance of 3d. dealt on their wages. We are sorry to say, that all the letters received of late from the Mediterranean, arc filled with corn- Plaints respecting the disposition and employment of our naval force in that quarter. We lament this the; imort, as we cannot discover even the shadow of an !lose for such neglect. Our force there is probably (satlV trough for the protection of British interests ;, ic is seldom to be found at those points where its Pace would be u se f u l. Wh atever c e r tai n ty our rcerntoent may entertain of the continuance of peace between Russia and the Porte, it should still keep a resPeetable force in that quarter, for the purpose of Preventing those outrages to which neutral shipping tarot be liable in such a maritime war as the Greeks and Turks are waging at this moment. When it is considered that every vessel belonging to the Insur- Pat Greeks is converted into a privateer, and that it Is ander scarcely any controul, it is matter of surprise !tat much greater violence has not been committed. Several English merchantmen have been stopped in course, insulted, and, we believe, plundered, by Greek armed vessels. It is needless to say how easily this insult to the British flag, and this injury to pri. late ptoperty, mi . 2,lit have been prevented. LeVers from Calais mention that General BER• ?RANO arrived off that port in the Iris packet7but, Ithich was to enter next tide. As the Hon. NORMAN HILTON was lately return ing from his seat, in Devonshire, the horse upon which he rode (formerly a charger belonging to an Officer in the Guards), suddenly dropt down, and expired. Mr. ll.'s leg suffered a severe contusion ; but, notwithstanding the pain which he.felt, he suc ceeded in procuring assistance; and, upon opening the body of his horse there was found the half of a bayonet in the viscera. The poor horse is supposed to have met with this extraordinary wound at the late great battle of Waterloo. A grand ball and supper was given, on Thursday last, at Widay lleuse, near Plymouth, by Colonel and Mrs. A. MonsitEnn, to all the families of distinc tion in the neighbourhood. The mansion and con servatory were brilliantly illuminated with variegated' lamps, entwined with laurel, and other evergreens, and over the hall door shone " Welcome," in trans parent I:tters: among the brilliant assemblage were, The Kiri and Countess of Morley, the Right Hon. R. I'. Carew a•id family, Sir A. and Lady Cochrane, Sir A. and Lady Miil.,wo;ll), Sir M. and Lady Lopez, Sir T. and Lady Lavie, and a long :rain of fashionables and Officers of the Army and Navy. One ,1 the Papers informs us that an eminent artist is painting a handsome likeness of Sir JOHN SILVESTER, the Recorder of London. A Itid;crims yet disagreeable accident happened at a Banker's at the west end of the town on Saturday eve►►in<g. A Clerk, by mistake, was inadvertently locked up in the iron room, and remained there until Monday morning. A fire broke out on Monday evening, at eleven o'clock, in the sugar-house of Messrs. CRAVEN and BOWMAN, Duncan-street, Whitechapel, occasioned by one of the flues bursting. The neighbourhood was much alarmed. By the speedy arrival of engines, and a good supply of water, the flames were shortly subdued, doing but very little damage. On the l'st of the present month a dreadful fire broke out at Boulogne, in the Upper Garonne, which was so rapid in its progress that it was feared the whole of that part of the town would have been de stroyed. The alarm was general, and a procession of the host was made during the night. The fire was at length subdued. The loss was considerable. It is stated in tl:e Gazette de France, on the authority of a letter from Amiens, that fifty-three houses in the Commune of Millers Bretonneaux, near that City, have fillen a prey to the flames, and that a family perished in one of the houses. Dowros concluded his engagement at Brighton on Saturday night, and the House was elegantly and numerously attended. The performances were the Hypocrite; Who the Dupe? and the Coronation. The fame of DowroN in the former Piece is too well established to need a comment. A whimsical acci dent occurred in the first act of Who's Me Dupe? On a sudden the gas illumination was subjected to a total eclipse. Not a glimmering was to be perceived, ex cepting from the wing lamps of the stage, which were supplied by oil. It happened in the scene where Dailey has introduced Gradus to his daughter.— " Lord —," said a servant in the Piece, coming on, 0 is waiting below." " Has he brought any lights with him ?" inquired Dailey—" No, Sir," was the reply. " Why, then," rejoined Dailey, " tell his Lordship I am in the dark, and not to be seen !" Much laughter was heard, but not a soul in the au dience part of the House could be discovered ; those on the stage were not so completely invisible. The 1 . wing gleamings just served to make " darkness visible!" The Piece went on—Gradus (H. CLARICE) was addressieg one of his scholastic speeches to the Lady, when Dailey called out, " Beware Betty, what you are doing in the dark," and the House was once more in a roar. Gradus, thus interrupted in his wooing, was for a time silent, but, at length turning to Dailey, in desponding accents, he articulated, "I fear all the inflammable air is gone!" The laughter increased. Elizabeth tittered as if she thought with Gradus. and Dailey offered to increase the price of farthing rush-lights to a penny a-piece. Many other remarks followed, some of which were as apt as whimsical, and electrical at times was the effect pro duced. At the close of the act, a row of lamps, all lighted, was arranged at the foot of the stage, which occupied nearly half an hour, and by the time this had been completed, the gaseous vapour once more streamed through the conducting tubes, and the House was presently restored to ►ts original brilliancy. The town throughout was subjected to a similar in convenience. The shops were in darkness, and business in the interval suspended. CURIOUS CASE.—An affair of a very extraordinary nature is about to come before the Court of Assize at Paris. A Scotchman, named William M'Dougal, who was pursued for uttering at Paris forged notes of the Bank of Scotland, to the amount of 40,000 francs, fled to the Netherlands, and took refuge in the Belgic territory. The French Government demanded and obtained that he should be given up. M'Dougal was made prisoner at Ghent, and conducted by regular reliefs of guards to Paris. However, people were not a little surprised to see the prisoner soon after his ar rival in the capital, obtain all at once his liberty, say ing that he was guilty of that single crime for which our Legislature has not provided a punishment. The fact was, that the person who was brought to Paris was not the true William, but his brother, James M'Dougal, ss ho had conceived and executed the hardy project of setting his brother at liberty on the journey, by dressing himself inclothes similar to those which the prisoner wore. It appeared he had followed the chaise in which his brother was, on horseback, for some time, and it was at Courtray, when the party stopped at a little inn, that he put himself in his place. James, therefore, was the person that the police of the Netherlands delivered to the French gens d'armes on the frontiers. This curious case, • which, before dis cussing the accusation, it will be necessary first to prove the prisoner's identity, will be pleaded by M. Unix d'Estrasigo. SPORTING IYIELLIGiNCE.

It certainly afforded the greatest amusement of any race to the company. The rider was in full costume with the horse, and their united appearance excited the greatest merriment. HUNTING. The KING% Hounds, the whole of which were nearly de stroyed last year, have been renovated this season by various couples of fine dogs presented to his Maa►srs by Earl Firs- WILLIAM, the Earl of Dimly, and the Duke of GRA rrom. The breeds of Earl Frrawit.cusa and the Earl of Dsssv sec said to be the finest in the kingdom. BOXING EXTRAORDINARY. Monday evening, a casual match took place Itetwezn Randall, Turner, and Spring, or it might, in better term+, be called a trpdar row. Martin's party assembled at Randall's to offer to make good the money (three or sir hundred a-side), for him to 'tight Randall a third time. The Nonpareil said he had twice quited his adversary, and be was satisfied. Some expressions, savouring more of the energetic than elegant, took place between Spring and Randall, the former designating Randall " a cur!" This was not to be brooked by the lion-hearted brave, and, dis daining weight, he turned to work. Turner had a share in the affray, but he hit Randall instead of Spring. Some'frielids in terfered, and the row was stopped. Turner got well punished for his services; and, to wind up the sport, Randall told Spring that be (Randall) was an honest tighter yeho had won all his battles, and never was beat by a thing—alluding to Painter. Thus the important business ended.—The match was not made. A curious circumstance occurred a few days since at Castle Baring, in the county of Monmouth, the seat Of CHARLES BANNATTNE, Esq.—As Mr. BAN NATYNE, the Hon. Mr. BROCKHURST, and Mr. HENS, were on a shooting excursion, the gun of Mr. Haws went off by accident, lodging its ccntents in a thick holly bush, whence a brace of pigs, of the wild boar species, rushed out, making a.precipitate retreat to the innermost recesses of the wood. Mr. BANNATYNE fired at the lighter-coloured animal, but the shot seemed to make no impression ; the Hon. Mr. BROCK HURST fired next, and laid the animal prostrate.— Upon examination it was found to be a hog of th Indian kind, which, it is supposed, has, with its com panion, escaped from some menagerie. The Isle of Man Newspaper, of October 6, con tains a great number of notices for the preservation of game, and threatening all persons found trespass ing with the utmost rigour *of the law. Most of them conclude with the following humane declaration : " Poachers shall hare NO aterry!r A singular circumstance is stated to have occurred in Chamber -street, New York. The servant of a Gen tleman, while splitting a log of wood in the cellar with an axe, disturbed a large rattle-snake, which had been concealed in it. 'What renders the circum stance more unpleasant is, that the rattle-snake made its retreat into a hole in the cellar, and has not yet been caught. SINGULAR RoPßEßY.—Monday night, about eleven o'clock, while a hackney-coachman was asleep on jhis box, in Holborn, waiting for a fare, some rogues took the horses from the carriage , and escaped with them, leaving poor Jarvis snoring with the whip in his hand. On the poor fellow being awoke, his surprise and consternation may 'easily be conceived. Yesterday morning the animals were found stripped of their harness in; field near West-square t Lambeth. CANTERMIRV, ocronrn 16. Yesterday evening, at air Extraordinary General I Court of the Guardians of the Po , •r of this city, !fr. JOSEPII F. 11 AGEI.I. was unanio:ourl v elected b ballot, i Receiver, in tax room of Mr Join Runic e, ie igned. At the same Court the poundage to the Collector of Rates was re.iced frora 3d. to V. making his salary on six rates £73 10i. per annum. Thursday, our Annual Michaelmas Fair, formerly known by he appellation of Jack and Joan's Fair, commenced, in the Cattle Marker, with all the va. • rious divertisemnents of Mime, Pantomime, &c. This fair, formerly a mart for the sale of merchandize, and a statute for the hiring of servant;, has, of late years, been observed principally as the saturnalia, or holiday cf the labouring classes, and has annually brought together a large conconre of husbandry servants, of both sexes, from the surrounding coun try ; but upon no occasion have vre witnessed so large an assemblage as that which thronged our streets on Saturday list, and it was gratifying to ob serve the health that lictured their countenances, and the cleanliness which marked their clothing. Friday night, Mr. MA THEW. performed his Budgeft to a select and fashionable, but, from the shortness of his notice, not a crowded audience, in the Concert !born, in Orange-street. The carriage way crossing the Old Ford, at the tail of the Abbot's Mill, in this city, has been ordered by the Magistrates to be put into immediate repair, which order is now carrying into effect, and will be completed in the course of a fortnight or three weeks, by a brick arch being thrown across the stream from the wheel race of the mill, with parapet walls. The expense of which (E7O), is to be defrayed from the County Rate. Tuesday se'nnight, at a County Meeting of Reny frewshire, some conversation was entered into, upon the subject of the Corn Laws. The sense of the Gen tlemen rresent was generally adverse to the existing prohibitory, or, we ought to say, half-prohibitory law—on account of its uncertainty—as a guide to speculation both in Agriculture and in Commerce as by that measure the county may one month be half famished by an insufficient crop, and the next half de• luged by a torrent of importation. Saturday last, a most splendid entertainment was given at Monmouth, on invitativn, by the Gentlemen of the county, to his Grace the Duke of BEAUFORT, which was attended by Lords WILLIAM and GRAN.. VILLE SOMERSET, Sirs C. MoataaN and S. FLUDTER, Messrs. LEWIS, of St. Pierre and Lantillio, and Gen tlemen of the fist respce ability of Monmouth, Aber gavenny, Newport, Usk, Chepstow, and every part of the county and neighbourhood, more numerous than had ever before met in tl - at town, and a most agreeable day was extended to a late hour.—The fol lowing accident forms a very melancholy sequel to this account :—The Rev. Mr. RANISEY, of Treleclr, who received the benefices of Lans:nnuidor, in Bre conshire, and Chapel Hill, immediately above Tintera Abbey, from his Grace (and whet e he had established with success one of the first National Schools in that neighbourhood), had attended Monmouth Races: he went to Bristol on Friday ; and on Saturday morning was returning on horseback to the dinner, and had just entered the boat at the New Passage, when he exclaimed, " lam very sick !" and expired in s t an tly . This sad intelligence was made known in the course of the evening, on which several of his relations and friends present immediately withdrew. He was in the prime of life, highly valued and regarded by every one, and has left six children to increase their sorrow in the recent loss of their mother ! A few days ago a Lady of great respectability in the neighbourhood of Liverpool, who was con fined by indisposition, requested the servant to pour out a quantity of medicine, sufficient for a dose, from a bottle standing on the chimney-piece of the room. Most unfortunately the attendant took the prescribed quantity, above two table spoonfuls, from a bottle of laudanum standing in the same place, in conse quence of which, though prompt assistance.was ad ministered, the Lady expired the following morning. On the night of the 4th instant, as Mr. RICHARDS, auctioneer, Carmarthen, was riding home from Llan dilo, some person who was di iving furiously came in contact with his horse, near Cothy bridge, by which he was thrown off, and lay senseless on the road, in which situation he was left by the person who caused this misfortune, without rendering him the least as sistance!' He was shortly afterwards found dead. Yesterdaf morning, between the hours of eleven and twelve, during the absence of the mother, who was not away above five minutes, the infant daugh ter of Mr. MORRIS, of No. 26, Union -street, Lambeth, aged about six years, approached the fire-place, and by some means fell into it ; it appears her forehead struck the bar of the grace, and that she must hare lain some time senseless on the fire. Mr. C. J. Bus- SELL and Mr. W. FEARS*, passing at the time, rushed into the house, sent for a coach, and conveyed the sufferer to St. Thomas's Hospital, but there are no holes of the child's recovery. Friday night, as a barge belonging to BARNARD and Co. of Stourport, with a cargo of copper and wool, which she had just taken on board, was coming up the Severn, from Collow, owing to the extreme rapidity of the flood-tide, she was driven against Newnham Crib, with such force as to cause her to fill and sink instantly. There were four men on hoard, whose lives were in imminent danger; but they were providentially saved by a boat which put off to their assistance. On the ebbing of the tide, about half the wool was saved, and' hopes were entertained that the copper might also be secured ; but next morning's tide ran up with such violence as to cap size her, by which means the rest of her cargo may be considered as totally lost. It is supposed the value , of the vessel and lading is upwards of £5,000. FEMALE DUELLING.-Yesterdily; says a French Paper of Saturday, a duel took place between two Ladies in the forest of Boulogne. Two shots wets exchanged. The quarrel terminated, as usual, at a restaurateur's, near the Porte Maillot. Motives of jea lousy were, it is said, the cause of this hostile meeting. Coax EU:HAMM, MARE-LA:4I, ikr. 17.—We had a good sup. ply of Wheat fresh in this morning Iron, Suffolk, and a very large quantity of Monday's arrivals remained on hand, for which there was but little demand, and only thefinest picked samples could be disposed of at Monday's prices; all other deseriptiutis were nominal. The arrivals of Barley were very considerable • to-day from Suffolk, and having but few buyers the sales were heavy at an abatement of Es. per quarter. Beans, Paz', and Oats are dull sale at Monday's prices, the supply of each lar..!as much larger than the immediate demand can take off.
