Friday, a match was decided at Govan, betwixt the Govan Quoit players and the Glasgow Club. The former, as usual, were successful; but this is now the eighth year that these par ties have successively played, and the Govan players been uni formly gainers. The Glasgow Club seemed determined to re trieve their character as players, and it is but justice to say they played well. The game was 105, and the Glasgow Club lost by three shots. CRICKET MATCH. The Return Cricket 'Match played last week at Stoke Green, between elevin Gentlemen of Stoke, and eleven of the Eton Club, was won by the latter in fine stile. A GOOD WHIP! Last week, as the Subscription (:riCh was coming from 11- Waster to Honiton a covey of partridges sprung from the hedge row, when the coachman, with great adroitness, killed a bird with his whip, and presented it to one of the proprietors. PHEASANT SHOOTING. The Pheasant Shooting, this season, promises well for the 'foremen, as the late spring was so favourable to young birds. A remarkably fine young leveret was taken last week in the Church-yard of St. Martin's, at Lei cester. It was discovered by the sexton amongst a bunch of nettles, at the time the bells were chiming for service. JOHN HERBERT HARRINGTON, Esq. of the Bengal . Grit Service, ha s been appointed by t h e C our t o f Directors of the East India Company, to a provisional seat in the Supreme Council at Fort William, Bengal. Private letters from Greece state that the celebrated etROVA has scut 200 workmen to restore the Par thenon, at Athens. There is now a considerable degree of briskness in the iron trade of Staffordshire ; the furnaces arc in t'Peration, and mos?.of the hands fully employed. A Piece of garden-ground, fronting the new street to the bridg e at Norwich, sold last week at the enor mous rate of rather more than £3500 per acre. .4 4 . navigable c a n a l is about to b e cu t b e t ween Ly mington, in Hampshire, and the City of Salisbury, which will form a junction with the Avon and Ly mington rivers. Early on Monday morning, Thomas Silver, the dnver of M essrs . R ut l ey and Co.'s Dover Fly Van, which was on its return from London towards Can terbury, was found lying dead in the road near this 131 acksniith' s Forge, at Ilaibledown. It is conjectured that ho had fallen, or was accidentally thrown from his seat, an d i n hi s fall mcired the injury that occa sioned his death? HASTINGS, SEPTEMBER 16. CONTINUATION OF THE REGATTA. The Rowing Match which was postponedon Thurs day, in consequence of the agitation of the sea, pre sented on Saturday a spectacle of pleasing activity.

A little rencontre occurred between two gallies, by one boarding the other, which originated from the want of knowledge of the directing object, and which at first sight was thought to have been done by way of finesse, to gain advantages in rowing. PORTSMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 17. Our newly established Regatta, which is to be held annually, commenced this day, under auspicious cir cumstances. The morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, and nothing could be more favour. able than the weather. Off the platform were moored two cutters, dressed in their colours, on board of which were stationed the Committee, who had the regulation of the proceedings. At ten the aquatic sports began, and were repeated at twelve, and again at two. The first race consisted of a sailing-match by boats of a certain ditnension ; the second, by ves sels of a limited tonnage; and the third, by wherries rowed by a pair of oars, with a cockswain to steer each. The whole v. ere admirably contested, and af forded much amusement to a vast concourse of spectators, who were assembled to witness the fete. These diversions are to be repeated to-morrow on a still grander scale, when even a more numerous at tendance is expected. During the first heat, the Royal Squadron hove in sight off St. Helen's. This imparted new interest to the scene. As the Roual George sailed majestically past for the harbour, she was cheered by the populace on the beach and the ramparts, the bands on board the cutters striking up GOD save the King. She had her broad pendant hoisted, and in sailing outstripped the fleetest vessels, that by a press of canvass endea voured to keep up with her. At the commencement of the second heat, her consorts made their appear ance at Spithead ; and during the third the Marines had a field day on South Sea Common, which added in no small degree to the grandeur of the spectacle on the water. Mr. CARTER was this morning nominated the new Mayor for the year ensuing ; but it would appear as if the business of the Corporation was absorbed in the amusements of the Regatta, for every one seemed to be rivetted to the operations on the ocean, to the dis regard of the election at the Town Hall. The plat , form, the ramparts, and South Sea beach, were crowded with spectators, on the latter of which were pitched some tents with refreshments, and the water was a scene of complete animation till sunset. RICHMOND THEATRE. Monday evening this elegant and tasteful lounge had to boast of a crowded house. The entertain ments were bespoke by Lady DusnAs, and JAMES DAWKINS, Esq. M.P. and all the beauty and fashion of the place and neighbourhood seemed ready to obey their call, for never has been witnessed there a more splendid circle, consisting of Sir John and La sly Orde, die Baroness Howe, Sir Wathen Waller, and Misses Waller, Mrs. and Miss Mitchell, the Misses Darell, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Paynter, Wheatley, Esq. and family, Mrs. and Misses May, Mr. Mrs. and Misses Dick, Sir David Dundas, Lady and Miss Dundas, Mr. and Miss Dawkins, Mrs.llolford, dcc._ _ The pieces performed were Elesina, brought from France and translated by KLANERT, the Manager, five years ago, and so adapted by him to the Stage, as to form a most interesting drama. The afterpiece was Catherine and Petruchio. It would be almost invidious to particularize any of the performers, as the tout ensemble form as complete a company as any out of the metropolis. Mr. and Mrs. KLiNERT, Miss SYDNEY, Mrs. FAUCIT, Messrs. DODD, JEPHSON, MATTHEWS, SIMPSON, JOHNSON, BENNETT, &c. were all excellent. THE EISTEDDFOD . — This glorious National Festival cmmenced on Wednesday last, at Carnarvon, with a splendour unparalleled in the annals of the Principa lity. The County Hall was crowded to excess ; and on the second day of the Meeting, so great was the pressure to obtain admittance, that an adjournment to the Court of the Castle, moved by the Noble Pre sident, was carried by acclamation. Among the nu merous company were the following Noblemen and Gentlemen, with a considerable portion of the female branches of their families :—The Most Noble the Mar quis of ANGLESEA (who presided), the Earl of IJIC•. BRIDGE, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of BANGOR, the Right Honourable Lord NEWBOROUGH, The recent arrival of this latter young Nobleman, after an absence of many years, in a county where he possesses such large property and influence, has naturally excited considerable interest. At the pub lic dinner on Thursday, Colonel PARRY, whose elo quence is only exceeded by the energy with which he delivers his sentiments, alluded to this circum stance on proposing his Lordship's health, in very forcible and animated language. The concerts and ball were admirably attended, and everything seemed to combine to render the Meeting agreeable in the extreme. The revival of the ancient music and. poetry of this part of Great Britain, is in itself so interesting an object, that we cease to wonder at the extraordinary sensation which, on the present occa sion, it has created. CLD BAILEY SESSIONS. Yesterday, Mlliam Brown was put to the bar, charged with uttering a forged note for £5, purport , ing to be of the Bank of England. Mr. Timbury, engraver, No. HA, Fetter-lane, was the first witn ess sworn . O n t h e 9t h o f A ngus 4 be tween the hours of one and three, the prisoner called at his house and asked for a polishing lion and a beat ing hammer, saying that he came from a bookbinder, living in Bell-yard. Witness asked the lad what weight he required the hammer to be? .To this he could give no answer, but said he would go and learn about it. He then went away, and in about twenty minutes returned, saying the hammer was to be ten pounds weight. Witness said the hammer should be got ready, and shortly afterwards the prisoner re turned. The hammer was not done, and the prisoner then pulled out a£s note in payment. The two ar ticles came to I Is. Witness sent out for change, and £ 9s. in change was given. The prisoner then went away with the polishing iron and the change, and never returned for the hammer. The note he re ceived from the prisoner he marked " W. T." those being his initials. He sent it to -a neighbour for the change, and the day after it was returned to him as a forgery. Daniel Barrett proved that he was a tea-dealer, living in Fetter-lane. On the 9:h of August, the last witness sent a £3 note to him to he changed, and he gave it. Witness wrote the name " Timbury" on . the note, and afterwards discovered it to be a forgery. Henry Close lived in Castle-street, Long-acre, and was in the service of Mr. Hough, a gold-beater, of Vet ter -lane. On the 9th of August, between two and three o'clock, the prisoner came for two hundred leaves of gold. Witness served him, and the prisoner gave a £5 note in payment. Upon being asked for whom it was? the prisoner replied, " For Mr. Row ley, a bookbinder, on St. Andrew's-hill, Doctors'-Com mons." Witness said lie had no change, and would see if he could get change of a neighbour. He went to Mr. Stevens, the cheesemonger, and by him it was suspected to be a forgery. Mr. Stevens returned the note -to him, and witness returned home to the pri soner, and told him it was not a good note. Witness then went with the prisoner to St. Andrew's-hill, having previously incautiously returned him the note. The prisoner stopped at the door of Wheatley and Penny's, stationers, and hesitated a good deal. Just as witness ' was going to ring the bell, the prisoner said, " I was not sent from this shop, but I was told by a person who met me at the corner to bring it here." Witness then told the prisoner that he was afraid he was a bad boy, and rang the bell of the shop. Mr. Penny came down into the shop, and de nied all knowledge of the prisoner. The prisoner was then searched, and the £5 note was not to be found upon him. The prisoner said he had lost it. Witness told the circumstances of the case to Mr. Penny, and the latter being asked, said, that there was a person of the name of Rowley who lived in Wardrobe-place. Witness then went to Mr. Rowley, who was a bookbinder, and asked him if he had sent the prisoner for two hundred leaves of gold ? Mr. Rowley denied all knowledge of the prisoner, and said that he had heard that a £5 note had been put off in his name, to a Mr. Warwick, a gold-beater,. in Fetter-lane, and that Mr. Warwick had been to him about it. The prisoner was then taken into custody, and put into the Compter. Mr. Stevens, a bookbinder, in Bell-yard, believed that there was no other of his trade living in Bell yard. He never employed the prisoner to obtain any thing for him on the 9th August, or any other day. The note passed to Mr. Timbury was then proved to be a forgery in all respects. It was signed "F. Robinson," a clerk never authorised to sign £5 notes. , The signature on the note was nothing like his hand-writing. Mr. Penny and Mr. Rowley were next called.— , They never employed the prisoner at any time to do anything for them. The prisoner made no defence, and called no wit nesses either to fact or character. Mr. Baron GRAHAM, in summing up, lamented that the crime of uttering forged notes was yet so frequent. After having detailed the evidence to the Jury at considerable length, a verdict of Guilty was pronounced. The Foreman of the Jury, ix delivering his ver dict, said, 4 , We recommend the prisoner to mercy, because we think he may have been the dupe of some designing person." Jerenuah Garfield was indicted for exposing for sale, on the 4th of August last, in the Parish of St. Mary Magdalen, twelve silver spoons and other plate, having on them forged and counterfeit marks against the Statute. The prisoner having pleaded guilty to the minor offence, which subjected him to transportation for fourteen years, . Mr. BOLLAND, for the prosecution, declined calling evidence to prove the capital charge. The Jury, therefore, found the prisoner guilty of the minor offence. Matthew Carr was indicted capitally for uttering I and putting away a forged RI note, purporting to be of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud Matther, Pemberton. This prosecution was not at the instance of the Di rectors of the Bank of England. The prosecutor is a butcher, and proved the passing of the note by the prisoner. The other circumstances of the case were perfectly clear, and the prisoner was found Guilty; THS CASE OF MR. TURNER. At about half-past two, William Swiney Barnard Turner was placed at the bar. He came on crutches with difficulty ; and was assisted by the persons who were in attendance. The prisoner was then called upon to challenge the Jurors in the usual form by the Clerk of the Ar raigns. The names of the Jury having been called over, The indictment was then read, charging the pri soner with falsely forging and counterfeiting a cer tain transfer, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Mr. Serjeant BOSANIALIET then addressed the Jury, and observed that the present indictment, and two others which followed it, arose out of the same trans action; and although in point of law it was not the same, yet the facts would not be varied by any evi dence he could offer. A -Jury had investigated the case, and had already pronounced its opinion upon that evidence, and it was not for him now to ques tion it. He had, therefore, received instructions to forbear giving any further testimony, and it would be therefore the duty of the Jury to acquit the prisoner. The prisoner was then pronounced Not Guilty upon this and both the other indictments. (The prisoner was removed f rom t h e b ar , an d was ordered to be discharged out of custody, upon the application of Mr. Actuv, Counsel for the prisoner. Ma nas.sels Gaihtein, R German of the Jewish per suasion, was indicted capitally . for falsely making, forging-, and connteifeiting a certain promissory note for the payment of money, in the German language, with intent to defraud Frederick William, king of Prussia. In a : ecnd•count the prisoner was indicted tor forging the instrument with intent to defraud Baron •d'Algensteiri, a Minister of the said Frederick William. king of Prussia. There were three other counts charging the prisoner with aiding and assisting in the iingery of the promissory note; and there were twenty-lour other counts, laying the charge in different forms. The prisoner put in a plea of misnomer, that his name was not Manasseh Goldstein, by which he was indicted, hut Manasseh Isaac Golds/on. This he swore by affidavit. The case was suffered, at the direction of the Judge, to stand over for a short time, in order that the Counsel for the prosecution might file a re plication, and that the plea in abatement might be recordel—The prisoner was then removed from the bar, and was replaced there after the lapse of an hour. Mr. HOLLAND then said, that on the part of the prosecution, he was prepared to prove that the pri soner was called indifferently either Goldston or Goldstein, and that the appellation in the indictment was correct. Witnesses were then called to prove this fact. Foy and Clements, the Officers who apprehended the pri soner, stated that the prisoner had called himself Manasseh Goldstein," not Goldston; and another witness stated, that in the shop of the prisoner, No.lo, Ratcliffe I lighway, there was a board with the name Goldstein upon it. Mr. ANDREWS then addressed the Jury on the part of the prisoner, and called several witnesses, who swore that the prisoner had always been known by the name of Goldston. The Jury, after a few minutes deliberation, decided that the prisoner was properly indicted by the name of Goldstein. The prisoner was then arraigned, and pleaded not guilty to the charge. On account of the advanced period of the day, the trial was deferred till to-morrow. Win. Arons and Rachael Arons (calling themselves husband and wife) were indicted for stealing a quan tity of woollen cloth, value £l5, the property of Messrs. Leister and Blakesley, woollen-drapers, of Basinghall-street. The prisoners were natives of Germany, and the evidence was repeated to them in German, through the medium of an interpreter. It appeared from the evidence, that on Tuesday, the 4th of September, the two prisoners went to the warehouse of Messrs. Leister and Blakesley, and asked to look at some blue cloth. They did not purchase any, but said they would call again the next day. The prisoners, however, did not call again till Thursday, when they asked to look at the same pieces of cloth which they had examined on the for mer occasion. Whilst the shopman went into a back warehouse for the cloth, the female prisoner left the shop. A porter.who saw her go out observed that her appearance was bulky, and his suspicions being excited, he followed her and brought her back. ft . was then discovered that she had a piece of woollen cloth rolled round her body. Nothing appeared to hew that the male prisoner was a party to this act, unless it could be inferred from his having opened the door to let the woman out. When the woman was brought back to the shop, and the property was discovered upon her, he appeared angry with her, struck her on the bonnet, and said, " Why did you do that?" Mr. Leister swore positively that the cloth was worth £l5. The male prisoner, in his defence, said, that his wife committed the theft unknown to him. This assertion was supported by a' similar declaration from the wife. The COMMON SERJEANT, in charging the Jury, ob served, that it seemed evident that the mare prisoner was cognizant of the act of the woman. If the Jury believed that the prisoners were husband and wife, it would be impossible to convict both of them, but no evidence had been called to prove that they were married. At this time, an individual of respectable appear ance, in one of the galleries, addressing himself to the Jury r observed, that he thought it necessary that they should have some person to measure and ascer tain the exact value of the cloth. This extraordinary occurrence attracted the notice of the COMMON Send JEANT, who asked the person in the gallery whether he meant to give evidence as a witness? The man replied, that he was only. induced to speak from compassion for the situation of the female prisoner. (The woman was far advanced in pregnancy, and bore a beautiful child, about two years of age, in her arms). He was proceeding to make some further observations, when the COMMON SERJEANT directed him to be silent, and not distract the attention of the Jury. A Juryman asked Mr. Leister whether the raw material and the wages of the journeymen whilst it was being manufactured into cloth, would cost £l5? Mr. Leister replied that it would. Shortly after the Jury returned a verdict against both the prisoners of—Guilty of stealing under the value of Fyieen Pounds. This verdict secures the prisoners from the punish. ment of death, which, by Sir James Mackintosh's Act, attaches only to thefts above the value of £l5. The Observer, of Sunday, Sept. 23, price Seven. pence, will contain a lull Report of the Rev. Mr. BLAcow's Trial, at Lancaster Assizes. Coax EICHANCIIt,MAR[-LAN SE,?. 19.—The. favourable change in the weather has caused a temporary suspension fn the demand for almost all Grain, and particularly for Wheat, the consumers having amply supplied themselves last week, whew the state of the weather threatened the most serious cons.. quences to the outstanding crops; and the advance of prices chat took place on Friday productd immense supplies on Mon day, for which there were very few buyers, and not one-tenth part of what appeared was disposed of, although offers were made at a reduction of Bs. per quarter from Friday's prices : hence the quantity remaining over for'tbis morning's market was very large, and, from the stagnated state of the trade, scarcely any sales could be made, even at a decline of full 2s. per quarter from Monday's prices. Beans are also offered on lower terms ; and Oats may be quoted full Is. per quarter cheaper. In Barley and other articles there is no alteration. f 1
