SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS. There have been great rejoicings amongst the Weaver's in consequence of the throwing out of the Bill for regulating the Silk Manufactures. Most of t he streets in the extensive districts of Spitalfields, Bethnal -green, Mile-end, and Shoreditch, were orna mented by the exhibition of the productions of our native artists; there were but few factories which were not distinguished by silk flags. It was indeed rae general holiday, and the streets were c: owded by thousands of contented and peaceable mechanics.' At twelve o'clock the bells of the several churches commenced ringing their merry peals, and two de. putations of the General Trade Committee proceeded from the house of Mr. White, in Hare -street, Bethnal. peen, with two elegant new flags, to the two trade houses; viz. the Knave of Clubs, in Club.row, and the Flower Pot, Brick-lane. The flags were each' nine by severs feet, formed of a beautiful rnazarine blue silk.—The devices, the Weavers Arms and the union of hands—the inscription, " The Journeymen Weavers—Glorious July 18, 1823." The flagstaff was tastefully ornamented with rosettes of blue,white, and green (the latter in compliment to Mr. Brunton, the solicitor against the proposed Bill). The staffs have also painted on them the Weavers' Arms and motto. Etch of the Secretaries in the procession car ried the Old Spitalfields Acts, embodied and appro priately bound, and ornamented with rosettes. The processions were accompanied by numerous bodies of their fellow-tradesmen, and on the exhibition of each flag at the windows of the trade-houses, the as sembled throngs gave three times three hearty cheers. The following bill was very generally placarded : u Samna •T, ors justice and humanity displayed by the Legislature towards us on the glorious eighteenth, deserves our warmest acknowledgments, and in the illumination of this evening, your Committee respectfully and earnestly recommend yon to behave with that goOd order and decorum that has gained you the continuance of the Acts granted to you by the wise Le gislators of your country. (Signed by the Trade Committee.) " Gon save the King." At each trade-house the following bill was exhi bited—" Peace and good will between masters and men for ever." In the evening a transparency was displayed at each of the trade-houses. The following was the de vice:—The figure of Justice trampling under foot the Monster 9f Oppression; underneath a mechani cal exhibition of the weavers' shuttle in continual rno- Go+r; the motto—" Gon speed the shuttle, and destroy its enemies." Many other transparencies were displayed, and the illamination was general. The greatest order prevailed throughout the neigh bourhood the whole of lust night, and this morning till nearly two o'clock. To add to the festivity, two sheep were baked whole, and carried on the shoulders of four men to the place of distribution. The firm of Hanbury, Buxton, and Co. Brewers, gave orders to several houses in their trade, to give a butt of beer to their customers. The Weavers, it is well known, are in general ;Treat pigeon-fanciers, and scarcely a dwelling but has' a receptacle for those birds. In order to make them participators in their owners happiness, some lamps were attached to their lath dwellings, .which ' had a very novel and pleasing appearance. In the Aquatic Excursion made yesterday by the Fishmongers' Company, the party was joined by the Duke of SUSSEX, who proceeded with them on board the City of • London Navigation Barge, to Tedding ton. After dinner, several professional Gentlemen amused the company with catches and glees. The merry dance took place in the evening on deck, and was kept up with great spirit by the company till their arrival at Richmond Bridge, at twelve o'clock. Thence the party proceeded to town in carriages, in waiting for that purpose. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has expended nearly Two Hundred Thousand Pounds in the inter nal decorations and furniture of Northumberland house. The girandoles, chandeliers, and candelabra, made of brass, after puce Greek models, and exceed in splendour those for the future decoration of the new Drawing-rooms at' St. James's Palace. The grand Staircase and Railing at Northumberland-house, for beauty and workmanship, and general effect, surpass all that have been seen in this country. VauxuaLL-Ga ROES& The Grand Coronation Gala at these Gardens last night was worthy the li beral character of this splendid Establishment, and the only regret the Company felt was, that the weather was not so favourable as could have been wished on the occasion. The Gardens, however, ate so well arranged for the accommodation of the Public, that the Company were amply amused with the great variety of entertainments prepared in honour of the Anniversary of his Majesty's Coronation. The flood of light which issued from the additional number of seine thousands of beautiful lamps, produced an ef fect that cannot be described. Wherever the eye was directed there was something to amuse and sur prise the beholder. The instrumental concert was finely executed, the vocal performances were excellent, and the rope-dancing and dramatic entertainments, together with the brilliant fireworks, combined to fill op the measure of enjoyment. BRIGHTON FESTIVITMS.—Saturday being the an niversary of the Coronation of our gracious SOVE REIGN, the New " Royal Grounds" were opened to the public, and devoted to a variety of diversions to entertain the multitude. The weather unfortunately, was damp, but thousands notwithstanding assembled to enjoy the entertainments.—Donkey races, jumping in sacks, jingling matches, cutting the goose, foot ittes, driving the wheelbarrow, hoodwinked; climb i:lg the pole, foot-ball, grinning through horse-col us, pig hunts, with their tails greased; dipping for , a - auges, rolls and treacle, boss s, and trap, for prize favours, gowns, bonnets, and shawls, hats, jackets, and waistcoats, bridles, saddles, and whips, shoulders, and legs of mutton, were included in the multiplied attractions, and loud and general was the merriment produced. The different objects inducive of compe tition were the -voluntary gifts of the tradesfolks of this place; and the admissions to the scene of ac tion were gratuitous. The managers of the fete, about a score of them, had their hats ornamented with purple ribbons, inscribed in letters of gold with the word " .Coronation." blsNItG INTELLIGENCE.

(FROM THE CROWN LAND COMMISSIONERS' FOURTH REPORT). The whole quantity of Forest Land now belonging to the Crown, either in Fee, or subject to Rights of Common, is 12,622 acres: and although the different measures taken with regard to each Forest, have been noticed in former Report:, we think it will be convenient here to bring together in one statement, the present extent and state of all that property ; *hewing what has been ac quired for the growth of timber; and what further quantity may probably be obtained for the same purpose. The Particulars are as follows, viz. _ _ N Number of Acres Number of Acres iu each Forest. inclosed for the Growth of Timber. 6,000 11,009 1.8R2 1,700 1,417 7;,895 1,121 1,841 New Forest Dean Forest 86,942 23,015 1,892 5,949 1,417 5,424 1,847 3,709 3,278 4,402 3,847 900 Alice Holt Forest Woolmer Forest Bere Forest - Whittlewood Forest Sake) , Forest . Whichwood Forest Waltham Forest Windsor Forest Delamere Forest Parkhurst Forest 4,402 3,847 900 Acres 122,622 38,015 Yesterday morning, a Mn. Brydges, of Great St. Andrew's -street, Seven Dials, haying occasion to leave home for a short period, left her child, about six months old, in the. care of a girl in the house, who, during the mother's absence, laid the infant nn the bed, and covered it over with the clothes, while she went up stairs to do some work. In her absence, a female, who was in the habit of cleaning Mrs. Brydges's room, entered it and turned up the bed stead, unconscious of the child being in the bed, and it was not until the return of the unfortunate mother that the accident was discovered, when the child was found quite dead. Yesterday, as a labourer was employed repairing the front of a house in Bury -street, Piccadilly, the scaffolding gave way, and he was precipitated, from the height of the second floor, to the stones, head foremost. He received a dreadful fracture on the skull, and was carried in a state of insensibility to St. George's Hospital, without any hopes of recovery. The youth, M. Chechini, who performed the part of the Prince, in the ballet of Cupid and Psyche, last week, at Vauxhall, unfortunately lost his life on Sun day. Ile was bathing with his brother and Mr. Black more, the rope-dancer, when unfortunately he got out of his depth, and sunk into one of the holes made by the ballast-heavers in the bed of the river. Mr. Blackmure gallantly endeavoured to save the life of his friend at the risk of his own, but the effort was unhappily vain. The body was soon after dragged for, and found about two hours afterwards. Sunday, a boat, with six persons in it, was run down within sight of Battersea-bridge, and a youth named Sawyer, of respectable parents, in Silver -street, St. James's, was drowned. The ethers were picked up, or swam on shore. Monday se'nnight, Mr. Doig, a young man from Errol, was carried off by the current and drowned, while bathing in the Tay, at Broughty Castle. Monday sennight, Joseph Orr, joiner, belonging to the parish of Newburn, William Scott, and Robert Orkney, fromMontrose, being much intoxicated•, went out to sea, from Elie, in a small boat, with the inten- tion of sailing round Kincraig Point : but they had only proceeded a short way when the boat was upset, and Orkney and Orr were drowned. Monday se'nnight, the powder mill of Mr. BAR- 1 KER, at Low Wood, near Backbarrow, Westmoreland, was blown up (supposed to be owing to a man using an iron hammer to rivet a tuck which was used in a sieve for sifting the powder) by which two men were killed. One named Pierce, has left a widow and twelve children to lament his death; the other, named Bathrope, has left a widow and two children —all destitute of support. Wednesday morning, a shocking accident happened to a person named Penny, working at Mrs. Moss's mill, at Brook-street, Chelnisford. This young man was alone in the mill, and it is supposed was oiling some part of the machinery, in doing which his clothes were caught in the cogs-of the large wheel, which drew his body in also, where he was crushed to atoms. An Inquisition was taken on Saturday evening at the Half-moon, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn-lane, on the body of Mr. James Hall, aged 28, an engineer at Messrs. Reid and Co.'s brewhouse, Liquorpond-street. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. French, one of the Gentlemen of the firm, Mr. Brown, the head en gineer, and others, that on Thursday night the de ceased sat up to attend the engine, it being his turn; at eight o'clock on Friday morning, Mr. Brown, the other engineer, went to relieve him, but not seeing him, he went to his lodging, in the same street, to inquire after him, but learnt he had not been home all the morning. Between eleven and twelve Mr. French was sliming a party of Ladies over the brew house, and on coming to shew them the engine, which was then at work, he perceived the body of the deceased lying in a pit, 14 feet deep, under the engine. The alarm was immediately given, and the body was taken out, with the head smashed to pieces, apparently front a blow by one of the arms of the engine. Verdict—" Accidental Death." SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr. Bott, one of the Inspectors of the Borough Skin-market, in Suffolk-street, by trade a butcher, has for some time been in the habit of attending Newgate-market early in the morning. previously to the commencement of his official duties in the Borough. It is the practice, if the Skin In spectors are absent at six o'clock in the morning, when their business should commence, to fine them 2s. and on Saturday morning Mr. Bott, from his exertions in runnin:; from Newgate-market to arrive at his post in time, sank down and expired. He had twice be fore fainted from a similar cause. IMPROVEMENTS IN MANUFACTURE. The New Flaxen Linens, and the Imperial Patent Cloth (with the East India goods), are among thaprincipal articles sold by the Piece, &c. at M MLA ILDe, Importers of Foreign Linens and Cambric., at theit Foreign and BrkishWarehoese, Cheapside. The former claiming the attention of every Family as a perfect and unfailing durable Linen, manufactured effectually to avoid unequal wear and dividing, on the same principle as their Double Warp Table Linen, Diaper', and Huckabacks. The latter, as the first dis covery for wearing either tad :r linen, or as an ccoflomical sub stitute for it, and equally beneficial without being so reducing as Satiric!, and especially in the warm as well as in the coil climates, where the regular state of the circulating exhalation caused by excessive heat or exercise, is so essential to protect. It is q uite ' equal to the Madras Cloth of India, and now at nearly half the price. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 19. BURNING OF CASTLETOWN-ROCIIE MILLS. NINZ MEN CONVICTED. _ The following is an extract of a letter from Cork, received by this evening's Mail: • " Cork, Friday, Half-past Four o'Clock, LTC " I have just witnessed a most affecting sight— nine persons sentenced to execution in the .County Court, for burning the mills at Castletown-roche. The men are of the better description, and heard their fate without a murmur. One of them, a most re spectable looking man (named ,Sullivan, I am in formed), addressed the Court, arid requested, inas much as their characters had been heietofore good, it would grant them a long day, in order that they might prepare them s el v e s for their dreadful fate. " Judge Burros, evidently overpowered, said he should consider on it, and grant such time as the law would allow under the circumstances. " The prisoner said, thank you, my Lord, and bowed. The sentence was most impressively deli vered, and while the Judge addressed the prisoners, some of them wept in the dock." _ _ " Quarter past Five &Clock. " A troop of the mounted police have now arrived to take them in charge to the county gaol. No hopes of mercy have been held out to them. The convicted prisoners are—the two Hennessys, Sullivan, Leahy, Murphy, Sheehan, Magner, Flyn, and Finn. The approver was Dunden, who swore to eleven of them, Fouloo and Brien in addition to the others. Charles Hennessy was the prosecutor, who swore to five of them. Ir was at Ballygoggin, in this county, they burned two mills, a house, and a stable:' At nine o'clock on the morning of July the 16th, several ruffians attacked the Dripsey Paper Mills, belonging to James and John Magnay, Esqrs. sons of Mr. Alderman Magnay, of London. Twelve armed men entered the premises, tied two persons who were in charge of the place, smashed to fritters a patent paper-machine, valued at 1,2001. broke two large doors, and having demolished other articles, rejoined their outside accomplices, with whom they retreated. The Proprietors of the Dripsey Mills are respectable inoffensive Gentlemen, who employed a great number of poor people in the concern. This act of miscreancy which we have recited, has wan tonly deprived the poor workmen of subsistence.with out any provocation of which we are aware, and will confirm the apprehensions which, greatly to the in jury of this country, are entertained is England of embarking capital in Ireland. The Dublin Correspondent observes on this out rage, that • " Those mills belonged to an English Company, Gentlemen of the first respectability—who were about to expend a capital of 30,0001. which would have given employment to upwards of two hundred persons! The Messrs. Magnays are not Irish Landlords, Magistrates, or Tithe-owners—they came to lay out money, establish manufactures, and give employment—and their property was destroyed in the dead of night ! We could write a serious com mentary upon this fact—but it would not be liberal —and we have not room." Monday night a horse was stabbed,, and five cows were houghed, on the lands of Glaunminane, in the parish of Glauntane, the property of a man named Kelcher.—Cork Chronicle. MURDER.—Wednesday last, Mr. William Wood, of Eyam, Derbyshire, was discovered murdered by the road-side, between Disley and Whaley-bridge. This atrocious murder, there is reason to suppose, was com mitted by three men in sailor's clothes, who followed him through Disley, b - all parties having previously met by accident at a public-house in How-lane. Mr. Wood (being on foot), left the house, and was fol lowed in about tea minutes by the three men, who came up with him within a short distance of Whaley, where he was found, his pockets turned inside out, and his bead beaten in the most dreadful manner possible. Mr. Wood was 30 years of age, and has left three children ; and there is reason to fear the murderers have had a considerable booty, as he te ceived a large sum in Manchester, though he paid several accounts on the day of the murder. The villains proceeded to Macclesfield, where they got each a new suit of clothes, and went directly to Man chester, where they were taken into custody. ASTONISHING PRESERVATION..—Mr. JAS. TEAGUE, of Davidson County, residing on the waters of Ab bott's Creek, was struck by lightning while walking in his corn-fields, on Wednesday, the sth June. He was but a few hundred yards from his house"; his sons saw him fall, ran to him, found him apparently dead, and brought him to the house. They sent immedi ately for their next neighbour, Captain ORAL, a Gen tleman of improved mind and much medical reading, though not a physician. The most convenient and ordinary resuscitating remedies were applied, parti cularly the warm bath and friction. In perhaps forty minutes he shewed symptoms of returning life, and gradually mended, so that when Dr. SHUMAN arrived there from Salem, there was nothing to be done but give general directions. Now to the phenomenon ; the electric fluid struck him near the top of the head, on the left side, and took a range down behind his ear, singeing all the hair, and burning the skin in its passage, about the breadth of half an inch ; when it came in contact with the shoulder, it inclined to the ' front, making down the centre of his bosom, taking the hair off, and scorching the skin ; on coming .to the abdomen, it inclined to the left, and made the deepest burn on the left of the navel ; it then took a conrse downwards, and separated into two columns, the largest one continued down his thigh and leg, and the lesser took down his tight, burning off all the hair in its passage; and where the skin was not actually cauterized it was changed to a livid colour. The fluid, in passing from him, entered the ground, making a hole of about an inch and a half in diameter. After it had penetrated the earth, six or eight inches, it was opposed by a small stone, which divided it, whence it descended by two apertures; and so far as they have been examined, the passages widen as they descend. Mr. TEacox's hat was torn to fragments, and some of them propelled to every side, to the dis tance of thirty feet. Twenty-five of the fragments have been collected. His left shoe was torn into three pieces, one of which was found forty feet from where he lay. His shirt was on fire at the point of the deepest burn, when his sons got to him. The aper tures . smelt like the washing of a gun-barrel, and so did Mr. T. until lte as washed.--Afraericaie Papef. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, JULY 21. Notwithstanding the're are several County Races of great re spectability at issue, Tattersall's to-day was very well attend d by Gentlemen of the highest respectability on the Turf, as well as by the adventurers of every description. The Doncaster St. Leger now drawing neer, induces every sporting man to inquire into the changes on the different horses in the great stakes, which are daily taking place. There was a good deal of betting, and to very high figures, but nearly all the engagements were made on the Leger. Tinker keeps his station ; Sherwood has crept up a point, a 0 no doubt will become quickly again the first fa vourite. Tancred has moved a point, and Miss Fanny getting again into favour. Claude Lorraine has got up two points, and Palais Royal is much thought of. The other horses were not much noticed, and stood nearly as before stated. In the Dt:rby Stakes Vourneen stands at two points better than on .111onday last. Agnes and Pantina nearly as before, and the other horses are slightly gone back. 4 to 1 agst Tinker 45 to 1 agst Sherwood (taken) 6 to 1 agst 'Fancied 9 to 1 agst Miss Fanny 14 to 1 agst Claude Corinne DE DONCASTER ST.

ABERNETHY'S FAILURE, - 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 3 5 1 1 2 2 This pedestrian from Scotland, after having done some lengths in time never before tried at, has at length found out what the powers of man, combining strength, agility, and perseverance, at 25 years of age, can accomplish. His object has been that alone, having backed himself to perform his tasks for a nominal sum, and this time be overrated himself. For 261. as it has been already stated, he started on Thursday morning from Pimlico, after the clock had struck twelve, to go on foot 152 miles in 48 hours, to the 76 mile-stone, between Otterborne and Southampton, He had done half the distance at ten o'clock on Thursday nig*, and returned a few miles back to rest, tolerably fresh. Friday, in the progress of his travels, he was often obliged to change ap parel, and the rains made the roads unusually heavy. On the other side Alton he became somewhat feverish, having then to do 47 miles in It hours. He travelled the next nine miles in two hours, and when within a mile of Frimley, Hams, 30 miles front home, he resigned, and got into a postchaise, and seas conveyed to Reading, having performed 122 miles in 41 hours. The failure, it is the general opinion, was occasioned by the weather. QUEENHITHE REGATT'A, Yesterday the Annual Regatta, promoted by the inhabitants of the above Ward, took place, The prizes were, a wherry to the best sculler, £4 for the second, £3 for the third, and £2 for the fourth man. It was to be contended for by six pair of sculls, in three heats; the first to start at three o'clock front buoy moored off the above stairs, row round a boat moored off Mr. Calvert's Brewheuse, up the North shore, through Blackfriars, bridge, return round the same boat, and up to the Prize Wherry moored off the Stairs. The candidates were, J. Wallinger, Blue ; James Thomas, Scarlet ; Benjamin Bird, Green; George Martin, Orange; James Smith, Pink; John Robins, Light Blue, The first three named were to start for the first heat, and those two who carne in first were entitled to start for the price. The second three started at four o'clock, and went the same' distance. At six o'clock, Orange, Blue, Green, and Scarlet, started for the decisive heat, and never was skill and expertise= more advantageously displayed, and Scarlet won it cleverly, fok. I lowed closely by Green, leaving the other two considerably be- I hind, when each of them received the respective price. • The grain crops in Fifeshire present; for the most part, a very promising appearance.
