DREADFUL ACCIDENT Ar BILLINGSGATE'. This day being the first opening of the oyster sea- MI, a greater supply came up the River last night than has Ix to known for a number of ,cars: upwards ef eighty vess.:ls, with cargoes of oysters, were to be seen off Billingsgate Wharf at twelve last night, at which hour every street and avenue leading thereto was thronged by persons of almost every description, pressing on each other, to see who should have the first chance of being served. The first accident arose from the gun-port on the lower side of the quay breaking away, and letting adrift above thirty vessels which were warped to it. Fortunately the tide was running down, and with some difficulty they main tained their stations ; but had a contrary tide flowed equally high, the vessels must have run foul of the bridge, and the damage would have been serious.— The next alarm was fatal to an individual, who was observed to fall off from the dock, and was not seen after. His appearance was that of a fellowship porter. A mote fatal and distressing accident then followed. A vessel, technically termed the « Dumb Lighter," is at all times stationary alongside the quay, rising and falling with the tide. At 12 last night the tide flowed, by which the Dumb Lighter" became on a level with the quay, and a number of persons were enabled to step on from that to the oyster vessels. Seventeen unfortunate persons, having been supplied, were returning the same way they had gone to the ves sel, and not recollecting that the tide had considerably run down, by which the vessel became lowered in the interim, they attempted in the dark to step up to the quay; in doing so they fell into the cater; fonts neelytwelve of them wei e got out alive, but five, that is, four males and a female, are still missing. A number of enquiries have been made of the Parish Beadle this morning by the different relatives ; :ovcever, none of the bodies have yet been picked up, and the concourse of shipping renders drags useless. FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The bodies of three of the persons drowned have been dragged up ; one of them, of the name of Buck, lived in Fleet•market. The number of boats col lected last night was greater than has been remem bered for a long time. The prices of the oysters vary horn 12s. 61. to 17h. a bushel. WRIT OF ENQUIRY.-.—WARE, HERTS., JULY 31. BAKER STEELE.—This was a writ of enquiry to as sess the damages in an action for assault. The en quify was executed at the Saracen's Head. The case seemed to have excited much local interest. The room was filled long before the hour appointed for the in vestigation. There were many females, fashionably dressed, in the assembly, and the general appearance of the place was more than usually animated. The plaintiff is a farmer, living in the neighbourhood of Hertford, and the defendant, a surgeon of that place. It appeared the defendant, conceiving that the plain tiff had spoken disrespectfully of him in his profes sion, met him on the road near Hertford, presented a pistol, and urged him to fight a duel. Mr. PHILLIPS stated the plaintiff's case, and Mr. ADOLPHUS re plied for the defendant. The SHERIFF having read over the evidence from his notes, the Jury retired for a short time, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 701. - Seven girls in the factory of Messrs. GREENE, TIL LINGHAST, and Co. in Rhode Island, wove on four teen looms, in seven days, 3910 yards of sheeting. Igo. 15, 58 inches wide. The greatest quantity woven by one girl in the seven days was 624 yards, and th 2. least 503.—American Paper. RIOT AT SCA lIDOROUGII.--•-YOIIIC, Ain.. I.—ln an information Red against James Watson and three others, for a riot and assault on Wm: Dawson, Mr. Justice BAYLEY sugge,ted that the defendants should submit to have a verdict of Guilty recorded against liern, except John Hutchinson, against whom there not a particle of evidence. This suggestion was &ceded to by the Counsel on both sides, and it was understood that the defendants were not to be called up for judgmeut, but were to be discharged on their own recognizances Co keep the peace and be of good behaviour. After the Jury had delivered it) their verdict in !Ile above cause, William Mead, convicted of shoot.- 'ng Mr. Law, was placed at the bar to receive the Judgment of the Court, when li.Justice HOLHOYD 'ddressed hi m i n su i ta bl e t er m s .—The Court se', t tired the prisoner to be imprisoned two yeais in 'orit Caqlc. ATTE:UPI' TO ASS.4SSINATF: SAMUEL lIQRROCkS. ESQ. M.P. FURTHER PARTICULAR& FROM THE PRESTON CHRONICLE. When the assassin was questioned upon his moral sense of the crime, he attempted to justify the deed, and said that he had prayed to GOD from his heart, as he followed Mr. Horrocks, for direction and assist ance in what he was going to do. He held the same language every time he was brought up for exami nation, and seemed to regret only that he had-not done the act two years before. It appears, from his repeated declaration, that he formed the horrid idea immediately after the last turn-out of the spinners, in March and April, 1821. He has never been in the employ of Messrs. Horrocks and Co. since he was six or seven years of age, when he worked as a piecer in one of their factories for a short time ; it was not, therefore, from any personal quarrel that he fixed upon ?Messrs. Horrocks and Miller; but considering' them, to use hi, own expressions, as . the ringleaders of the other masters, he was determined to make them answer for all. Shortly after he was taken into ctlatody, he said he had written an anonymous letter to Mr. Horrocks, four months ago, warning him of his fate, unless he put on the 10, per cent, which was taken from the wages of the spinners at the time re lei red to. This letter, we believe, is still in existence. When brought out for examination on Morulay morning, he passed through the streets with a smile, approaching a. laugh, upon. his countenance • and when he came befo re th e M ag i strates , he declared that he had not been so easy and happy in his mind for two years as he then felt himself. Mr. Hot roc ks's hat, shirt, and coat, all besmeared with blood, being opened out by the constables, the prisoner regarded them without the least token of remorse ; on the con trary, he took up the hat, and in the coolest manner examined the cut occasioned by his murderous blow. On being asked if he was sober and in his senses the day before? he appeared indignant at both questions. Ile said he had not tasted ale or any other intoxicating liquor for a fortnight, and that he was as much in his senses as anybody. The prisoner said, that since the turn-out he had worked at Manche s te r , B o lt on , an d ' last at Mr. Vose's, in this town. He, however, felt so unsettled and uneasy in his mind, that he could never stick to anything, but spoiled and neglected his work, and was always turned off on that account in a few weeks. He was always, he said, against fighting, and wac never accustomed to bloody deeds or any thing of that kind, otherwise he should have done the business more effectually. When Mr. Horrocks, with that benevolent and for giving disposition which forms so prominent and so bright a trait in his character, gave the wretched cul pi it to understand, that, notwithstanding his foul at: tempt, he entertained no feeling of animosity against him, it did not soften his nature in the least degree.— On the final examination in the Governor's parlour at the House of Correction, an incident occurred which sheaved the determined spirit by which he was actu ated. Mr. Miller was present on the occasion, and the prisoner being questioned as to the pistols he had before spoken of, he said that if he could lkave bought them, he would have taken the opportunity, as the Corporation came from Church, when Mr. Horrocks and Mr. Miller were there, to shoot them both; " and," continued he, looking at Mr. Miller, " if I had the means I would kill you now." Mr. Miller seeing the prisoner's eye turned towards a weight with a long handle to it, used for keeping doors open, he desired the Governor to remove it; upon which Ryding observed it was well for Mr. Miller that they had taken it away, for he had been on the watch to seize it for some time ; and if it had been as near to his right hand as it was to theleft, lie should, before that, have tried to knock out the brains of Mr. Mil ler with it. • It will give pleasure to Mr. yorrocks's personal friends, and indeed every one to learn that the wounds inflicted have not proved of a very serious nature. The-cut at the back of the head was the only one from which any fears were ever entertained, and all apprehensions on account of this are removed. Besides this, he has a slight cut on the inside of the left hand, and four cuts on the left arm ; but these are merely fle,h wounds, which will probably soon heal. It happened, by singular good fortune, that Mr. Horrocks, the same morning, put on a new hat, and has since observed, that it was one of the strongest he ever wore. A very important document has lately been issued from the Office for Taxes, addressed to' the Select Vestry, Churchwardens, and Overseers of Parishes where arrears have arisen in consequence of the neg lect of Collectors of Taxes not enforcing and paying the sums due from their respective tithings. After stating the powers of 43 Geo. 111. cap. 99, sec. 42, which authorises, " the Select Vestry, Churchwar dens, and Overseers, to require of the Collectors, in their several parishes, an account in writing, (after 14 days' notice) of the sums received by such Collectors, of the sums in arrear, of the sums remaining in hand, and also of the sums paid by him or them to the Receiver-Gener4l—a default of rendering such ac count subjecting 'such Collector so refusing the same to a penalty of twenty pounds ;" it also. refers to 43 Geo. llhc. 161, which states that the parish or place " shall be answerable for the amount of the duties charged thereon, and also for the said-duties being duly demanded within ten days after the same are payable, and every arrear of the said duties, arising from the default or failure of the Collectors shall be! re-assessed on such parish or place." A statement of the arrear in each tithing is furnished, and the Select Vestry and Parish Othccis are required to examine into the cause thereof, and obtain from the Collector of such tithing, so in arrear, an account in writing, as stated in 43 Geo.lll. c. 99. which is to be sent to the district surveyor, " in order that immediate steps may be taken to obtain an extent against, the said Collector or Collectors who shall 410 t forthwith pay the money in their hands, as the Act directs.; and that the parish may be discharged from the assess ment." W....en we consider the evil consequences•which a few years ago arose fioin suffering the Collectors to retain so much of the public money in their hands, the Coniniis,ioners of the Board of Taxes cannot be ' too much praiseci for thus giving timely notice to the tespective parishes, where the Collectors are returned ; in micar, and thus preventing such very unpleasant ) measures as g re-gsse*samit would lead to, SFORTING LvTELLIC:ENCE. RECORD COURT.—MULLINGAR, JULY 21. • IkeiVOY V. KELLY. Mr. DARCY stated the case.—William H. Kagan, Esq. had, three years ago, given a cup to the County of Westmeath, to be run for under certain articles, to become the pfoperty of the winner of it three suc cessive years, - or until challenged. Mr. Kelly, the defendant, had won it twice. It was run for again last March, when the plaintiff ran two horses, the defendant two, and Mr. Dennis 'one. Both the de fendant's horses came in first, but ran to the left in stead of the right of a certain post; that, in con sequence, Mr. M'Evoy claimed the cup on the ground. The stewards, who were made by the articles final judges of all disputes, exam:ned into the affair on the spot, and signed an award of the cup to the plaintiff. Notwithstanding this award, the defendant kept possession of the cup, and drove the plaintiff to the necessity of this action. Mr. Darcy then submitted, that the award being final, entitled him, without going into the case, .to a verdict; but that he was ready to go into evidence, and prove the whole case. Mr. FARRELL, for the defendant, objected that the plaintiff had not such a possessory right as to main tain an action of trover ; however, if the Court was not with him, he had no objection to enter into the merits; his client had offered to run the race again, or leave the matter to the Turf Club. The award, even if good, was not conclusive; he referred to 15th East, to spew that where there was good award, ' which the learned Gentleman contended this was not, it did not conclude for the defendant. The CHIRP BArtom said it was the practice to send all disputes from the country races to the Turf Club. Mr. - Daacy said, that the Turf Club never exa mined evidence as to facts, but if both parties agreed in a case, an opinion was given. Here the parties did not agree. The CHIEF BARON said, the rule of the Club shewed its good sense, and as they bad now started, he did not choose to disappoint the parties of a lace. Mr. Wilton was the first witness examined. He proved the printed copy of the original articles—that he was the proper person with whom horses should be entered. Question.—Were the horses for the last race entered according to the articles?—Not one of them. How so?—There was not one entered three clear days before the race: the witness added, that Mr. Magan had overruled the objection arising from this informality. Csttar BARON.—Vie plaintiff is knocked up. Mr. DARCY.—My Lord, Mr. Mogan, who gave the cup, and the parties, consented that the races should be run, tbough no horses were entered in time. • Came BARON.—That won't do. The cup, after having been once given by Mr. blagan, was not his property, and he bad no controul over it. It was the property of the County. The owners of horses might make an arrangement about stakes, which they could divide ; but as they could not divide the cup, they had no right to make any private agreement. Mr. DARCY examined Mr. NVilton as to whether or no he had any document at home which could bring the exact day on whiar the horses were entered to his recollection, for be was instructed that Mr. M'Evoy's horse was entered in time. Mr. Wilton re collected no document, but said he might have one. Mr. Darcy suggested that he should go home and look. Curs, BA RON.—You will be distanced before he comes back. Mr. FARR4LL.--it is now evident that the plaintiff has gone to the tvrong side of die post. Plaintiff nonsuiteJ.—Cup to he run for again. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, AUGUST 4. In a former Report we anticipated great alterations in the odds on the St. Leger at Doncaster, for the nearer the approach of these great Stakes, the more vigorous the speculating syFtern is curried on. We are well aware also, that when certain Gen tlemen high on the turf, and always well backed, take it in their heads, they can raise or fall any horse ad libitum, and bring such into whatever focus they think most advantageous to their inte rests; and this is done by bringing a few hundreds unexpectedly into market. Our anticipations have this day been realised. There has been an arrival of several Yorkshire speculating cha racters of great respectability, who attended the Room, as well as numerous others of every class, and the changes which in consequence took place on several favourite horses were not only considerable, but created a great sensation. linker now stands higher than he did last week by two points, and the first favourite by four points; but he was once sent into the back ground, as Miss Fanny and Sherwood were 3t Newmarket July Meeting, since which the latter two have crept up again, but now are a second time doomed to gallop behind, and at a long distance too. This, we do not hesitate to say, is but for a short time, or at least until individual purposes are answered. It will also be seen that Palais Royal and Claude Lorraine are not forgotten by their backers, and that the other Doncaster St. Leger horses silnd at high odds against them. DONCASTER ST.

Their pack comistiel of but two dogs, Mr. Page's Piper, and Mr. Upperton's Counsellor. They. soon found their game, and compelled him to break cover, when he immediately bounded towards the sea,and back again. He then led off at a fine pace in the direction fur Michelgrove— hence, in a northerly direct Mat, down the hill, into the we,tern part of Stortington. lie then took to the east until he reached Humid abuuts, when he rested; but the dogs were presently upon hint, and forced him off, at full speed, back to Huston Warren, and thence to Thakehain, onwards to Stryning, and tiltimat. ly to Rock, near Wilton, where he was taken and killed, after one of the most ardent and gallant chases ever recorded, over a coun try of hill and dale of upwards,of forty miles,in three hours a sixteen minutes, with only about five minutes fault during the .whole time.—Lewes Paper. WRESTLING. • Wurroo, Jinx in.—The Wrestling on Wednesday was very superior, and attracted an immense assemblage of people. The arena in which the wrestlers contended was thickly covered with sawdust; an :a pnz,ement which was Itly no means favour able to the active wre,tlers, as Liddell, of Bothel ; Watson, of Torpenhow ; and Brough, all fell, from slips.

The young partridges are not far enough advanced to admit of an opinion ri..pecting them. LITTER OF TIIIRTF.EN FOX CUBS ! A few weeks ago, a litter of thirteen half-grown lox-cubs were dilkovered in a den in Bold Palk, Lancashire, nine of which were secured without injury ; unfortunately, the remain ing four were smothered, though five minutes had not elapsed between the falling in of the den and their being taken oats The nine cubs are carefully preserved. FIG FIT AT REDBOURN, lIERTS. Friday st'nuight a battle, for £lO, took place at Redhourn Common, between Thirty, a butcher, and Prat, a bricklayer; to be a fair stand-up fight, minute time. Nine o'clock in the morning was the time filed, and about eight itedbOurn was all bustle to see the combatants move to the spot ; and at the hour appointed Prat entered the ring, with the veteran Manuel Smitll as his second, and his brother Ned as bottle-holder, when he threw up his skull-cap as a token of defiance. In a few minute; after Fairey followed, attended by W. I3urret and J. Tomlin. On stripping, Fairey exhibited I fine frame, weighing 12 stone, and in good condition ;_ while Prat exhibited the appearance of a shadow, weighing not more than nine stone, which gave Fairey • the odds at 6to 5. Tnirty-five well-contested wundb were fought. At the last Prat came to the scratch in a ' , cry bad state r d after an exchange of blows slipped .town; on time beiil; • called, he walked up to his opponent and said he must give it in, as he could nu longer hit.—The fight lasted 45 minutes. DREADFUL FIRE AT NEW BRENTFORD.— At half paq nine o'clock last night, a dreadful fire broke-out at the Castle Tavern, New Brentford, which in a short time was destroyed, together with the outhouses adjoining. We are sorry to state, the whole of the stock of Mr. FORBES, the landlord, was totally de stroyed. The :iccident, we understand, occurred throtigh the negligence of a servant girl, svho, while putting the children to bed, carelessly placed the candle too near the curtains. None of the property was insured. • Saturday se'nnight, John Jennings, son of Mr. Jennings, farmer of Shelford, was found drowned is the river. It is supposed he over-reached himmelf attempting to cut some rushes. Every exertion was made to restore animation, but without effect. The youth, though only eight years old, is said to have weighed nine stone. A short time since his parents *ere offered a considerable sum of money for the pur, pose of exhibiting him as a prodigy of nature, but ,which they refused. An In q uest was held. Verdict, Accidental Death. A day or two ago, a child fell .out of a window, two stories high, in Queen-street, Durham ; and. singular to relate, was not in the least hurt by the fall. MR. KEAN.—When KEAN, the actor,.was at Ports mouth, two or three years ago, he was requested by the Manager and two or three more, after one Morn ing's rehearsal, to accompany them to take a bottle of Madeira and a biscuit. Kean objected at first, but at length consented, and away they went to one of the first-rate Inns in Portsmouth. The landlord', when apprised that Mr KEA N was of the party, ushered them into an elegant r oom ; thanked the actor for the honour that he did him, and for ten minutes over whelmed him with obsequious civilities. KEAN bore it well for some time; but at length knitting his - brow, and fixing his eye upon the landlord with that tremendous expression which we have all witnessed; said—" Mr. H—, I came into your house at the re quest of these Gentlemen to partake of some telies'i- . ment, and not to be pestered with your civilities, which to me ate so many insults; look at me, Su, well ; you do not recollect me I see; but you km ow that I am Mr. Kean, Edmund Kean, Sir ; the same Edmund. Kean that I was fifteen years ago, when you kept a very small inn in Portsmouth. At that time, Sir, I was a member of a strolling company of players, and came with the troop is ycur fair, here I acted. I remember well that I went one. day into the bar of your house, and called for half a pint of porter, whiclf, after I had waited your pleasure pa tiently, was given to me by you with one hand, as the other was extended to receive the money ; never, S,r, shall I forget your insolent demeanour, and the acuteness of mrfeelings. Now, Mr. H—, things are altered ; you are in a fine Hotel, and I am—but never mind ; you are still plain and I am 'Edmund Kean, the same Edmund Kean that I was fif teen years ago, when yob insulted me; look at me again, Sir, what alteration beyond that of dress do you discover in me ? Ant I a better man than I was theii ? What is there in me now that you should overwhelm sue with your compliments? Go to, Mr. Tam ashamed of you ; keep your wine in your cellar, j ell bave none of it!" Having said this, thelndignent actor turned his back upon the mortified- landiard, and left the house with his companions. al. , J • !ft _, E- I I
