IVA 2 E.7SrOUT AND 11AIL-S7'OR.V. BRUSSF.L,S, AUGUST 21. On the night before last, a terrible storm passed over our city, which did great damage about Zel lieh, and elsewhere. A waterspout, that accompanied it, broke twenty large trees, within six feet of the ground, which blocked up t h e roa d so as to stop the diligcnce from Antwerp. The storm on the night of the 19th, raged chiefly in the direction from Aalst to Mitlines. Above 100 trees were snapped isuntler, or torn up, at the corner of a small meadow ; and between Mazcendcel and Steenhuffel, several thousand trees, of all kinds and sizes, have been thrown down, or Stripped of their 'foliage. Of coarse, everything in the fields and gardens is deAroyed, and the corn may be gathered kip as on a threshing-floor. Hailstones as large as a teh's egg were picked up, and pieces of ice, several inches long and an inch thick.—Brossels Paper. CONSECRATION or THE JEIVS SYNAGOGUE. Yesterday a very interesting scene, as affecting the Ilebrew nation, took place at the Great Synagogue, in Duke's-place. It will be recollected that some time since, it was by accident discovered, that the dry rot had found its way into the rafters and supporters of the roof of the Jewish Synagogue. The repairs were of so extensive a nature, that many months have been occupied, and nearly 125000 expended in per forming them. The inside o the Synagogue has been fitted up and beautified in such a style, that it may in point of splendour vie with any place of wor ship in the metropolis, and yesterday was the day ap pointed for performing the solemn ceremony of its consecration. Al the avenues round the Synagogue were crowded with the lower order of Hebrews, whilst the interior of the building contained all the wealthy and powerful members of that persuasion. The gAleries were crowded with females, many of whom were very beautiful, and all attired in that fashionable splendour which forms one of the charac- teristics of the nation. Soon after four o'clock, the hour appointed for the performance of the ceremony, the Chief Rabbi, attended by the Wardens, Elders, and other officers of the Synagogtie, bearing the rolls of the laws, appeared at the doors of the Syna gogue.; the Chief Rabbi was in his full costume un der a canopy. of state, supported by six persons; the Wardens and Officers were in their robes and scarfs. The Chief Rabbi then exclaimed—" Open unto us the gates of righteousness; we will enter them and praise the Lotto." They then all entered in proces sion, preceded by six little boys, tastefully attired. each carrying a large silver basket filled with diffe rent f10 , ...-ers, which they strewed along the path. over which the procession passed. In this manner they circtimambulated the Synagogue seven times, during which time seven appropriate Palms were chanted by the Reader and Choir, the music of which was exceedingly grand. Upon the procession approach. ing the Ark for the seventh time, the rolls of laws, which were all secured in peculiar cases, most splen didly ornamented, were severally placed within the Ark. The Chief Rabbi then delivered a prayer on behalf of the whole congregation, in which he parti cularly noticed the providential discovery of the state of the building. Three of the rolls were then taken from the Ark, and conveyed in procession to an ele vated spot in the centre of the Synagogue, when the Reader, surrounded by all the Officers, delivered, in a very solemn manner, in the Hebrew language, the following prayer for the King and Royal Family : `" He who disposeth Salvation unto Kings, and dozninion unto Princes, whose kingdcm is an everlasting kingdom, who de. livered his servant David from the destructive sword, who spaketh a way in the sea, and a path through the mighty wilder ness, may Hz bless, preserve, guard, assist, exalt, and highly ag grandize our Sovereign Lord King George the Fourth and all the itoyal Family. May the Supreme KIND Or KINGS, through his infinite mercy, grant them life, preserve and deliver them from all manner of trouble, sorrow, and danger. Subdue the nations under the soles of the King's fret, cause his enemies to fall before him, and grant hint to reign prosperously. May the Supreme KING or KINGS, through his infinite mercy, inspire him and his Counsellors and Nobles with benevolence towards us and all Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell in safety, and may the Rzozeura come unto Zion, which GOD, in his infinite mercy, gran t, and we will say—Amen." The rolls of laws being . replaced in the Ark, and sonic other peculiar forms of service having been gone thr ough, a subscription was opened towards de fraying the expenses of the building, a$ in a very short time nearly £l,OOO was collected. The mode of conducting the subscription was singular. The Sabbath having just commenced as the subscription was opened, no money or cheques passed, and every moment one might see the officers who were collect ing the names of the subscribers, hold up their fingers to any friend whom they saw at a distance, which was to ask him how much he meant to subscribe. As' many fingers as the individual held up in return, he was immediately put down for so many guineas. NEW DOCKS, SHEEN LSD Sammurzn, Amuse 25.—Friday, Lord Afer.vii.ut, Sir G. Coexaumt and Mr. CROCIIII, from the Admiraity.Board. and Sir T. BTAM MAMIN, the Comptroller of the Navy Board, with several Commissioners of that Establishment, arrived here in a steam-packet, and proceeded to examine the progress of the works. At their request water was let into the basin and then also into the dock, which is to receive the . Ilows.— The facility with which the massy iron gates (each of which weighs ninety tons) were opened and shut excited the astonish. ment of all present, as did also the operation of a powerful pump, moved by steam, for emptying the water from the dock. The noble party subsequently went on board the Howe, where \: r. CitOKLA gave orders for the removal of several bulk heads (a sea phrase for partition:), and then measured off ;own lur the extensive seta of tables, capable of accommodating a r.umeroes assemblage, as it is expected that two members ot the Royal Family, with above two hundred persons of the highest rank -in the kingdom, will dine on board. Besides the above preparations, workmen are employed in covering in the ur per deck for a promenade and probabty a ball. Should the weather prove fox, the most numerous assemblage ever witnessed here is expected front the counties of Kent and Essex, besides large imponations from the metropolis by steamers, many of which, it is said will be engaged for the occasion. im mediately after the Hoerr is docked, the TCIIF‘ARA, .1 second we, and the ScAmsoloncit, a third rate, mill be taken into the uthtr two new docks. Thus will be extnnplilied b) facts the ad vantage of this situat:l nas -a grand naval yard. It haE been nearly ten years in hand.

In consequence of the recent conduct which this Gentleman has pursued towards Prince ESTERHAZY, he has been taken into the custody of the Alien Office, with a view of being removed out of the country. The Co unt has petitioned to the KING in Council against his removal ; and this day, the Lords of the Council met in the Cockpit at Whitehall, where Count BETTERA was heard in support of his Petition for upwards of an hour. The appellant and strangers were then ordered to retire, and the Council pro ceeded to deliberate on the matter with closed doors. —Left sitting. FATAL AFFRAY. FURTHER PARTICULARS, &C. Thursday three soldiers belonging to the Ist regi ment of Grenadier Guards , who gave their names William Powell, William Shakspeare, and John Spencer, were brought to the Mary-la-bonne Office, on the charge of having killed a man in a pugilistic conflict. William Brammis, serjeant of the regiment, stated he was fishing at the Paddington Canal stop-lock, about half-past four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, when his attention was attracted by a noise in the Harrow-road ; he approached the place, and near the Red Lion public-house he saw a ki n d f general bat tle, but he particularly observed the prisoner Spencer in a fighting attitude before the deceased man, who was named Norman, and who also appeared in a boxing position, the two prisoners Shakspeare and Powell acting as seconds to Spencer. The witness commanded the soldiers to retire; and on their ex pressing disinclination to obey his order, he took hold of Spencer, but he released himself and rushed to wards the deceased, who was ready to receive him : he saw the deceased fall, and he never rose again; his hack was towards the deceased when the blow was given, and he did not see it struck: it must have been given suddenly by Spencer, on his breaking away : he had no idea that the deceased was in danger. The man died in his presence in about twenty minutes. Edward Belcher, of Westmorland -street, Mary-la- Ronne, deposed, that he was in the gardens of the Red Lion, Harrow-road, where the three prisoners had been all the day playing at skittles ; this was about five o'clock, and on the waiter coming in, they wished the dustmen, who were sitting outside in the road, to play; but were informed it could not be al lowed, as they could not be admitted. The soldiers then went into the road, and the gate was locked.— The witness remained in the gardens until hearing a disturbance in the road, he looked and saw Spencer and the deceased Norman fighting, and he believes the prisoner Powell was acting as second. The sol diers, he believes, were rather intoxicated, as they be haved very improperly in the skittle-ground. There were only two rounds fought ; and on his going from the garden to the road, Spencer was about 30 yards' off from the deceased, who was then dying. Spencer said—" If I have killed the man, I am sorry, and it is a bad job." The dustmen, who were friends of the deceased, who was also a dustman, were rubbing him, and endeavouring to restore him to his senses and ani mation, but without effect. Bradbury, a constable, into whose custody the pri soners were given, said the others were fighting as well as the soldiers. The seconds of the deceased were dustmen, named John Fletcher and John East; they had fled. The Magistrate directed the constable to endea vour to secure them, and also t• procure the attend ance of witnesses who could speak more distinctly to the nature of the quarrel. - The prisoners were remanded to await the result of the Coroner's Inquest. The Inquest on John Norman was held last night before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. at the Red Lion Ta . vern, Westboume-gteen, Paddington, and the fol lowing evidence was adduced : William Davis, 13, Chapel-street, Mary-la-bonne, apprentice to Mr. Davis, a surgeon, attended the de ceased yesterday afternoon, between five and six o'clock : found the deceased quite dead, in appear ance recently so; did not bleed him, being perfectly satisfied he was dead ; no marks of violence appeared about his person ; cannot state what occasioned his death. The witness, after some further questions, said, there w•as a swelling under the left ear : it • did not appear to be a violent blow; no one else had ex amined the body. The Coroner considered it very strange no other Gentleman was called on to exa mine the body, as he understood some persons had been detained respecting it. The Coroner and Jury then retired and took a view of the body; and on their return one of the Jurymen said he considered the body should be opened by some Medical Gentleman in the neighbourhood, and after some further conversation, Mr. Snell, of Cha pel-street, was sent for.• Stephen Bunn knew the deceased previous to his death, in the capacity of a dustman. As he was coming down the road, on Thursday evening, he saw a soldier stripping to fight; a few words passed be tween him and the dustman ; they then had one round, when the dustman stripped, and ran into the soldier, catching him by the neck; he held his head (viz. in chancery), and struck him several times in the face and other places. The first blow was struck by the dustman ; the soldier returned the blow. They both fell, and the soldier fell undermost. They again met, but who first struck he cannot say ; it was, he consi dered, a fair fight ; he did not see any foul blows ex changed, and the soldier was again undermost. The third and fourth rounds then passed, and in one, de ceased was struck down by a blow in the abdomen by the soldier; it was struck sufficiently low to make a foul blow ; he did not rise from the blow : wit ness left while he appeared dying. There were no blows struck by either party while on the ground ; nor any kicking or struggling. Mr. Thomas Doughty, surgeon, of Portman-place, had examined the body, and could find no wound below the abdomen sufficient to cause death, and hav ing examined the head and body, he could find no extiavasation of blood on the brain. Great exertion, as fighting, would cause a rupture of a blood-vessel. The CORONER summed up the evidence, and, after a short consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of— , Apoplexy, caused by great exertion in fighting. The investigation occupied until ten o'clock. The deceased has lett a wife and three children, living at present in James-stieet, Lisson-grove. _„_ NAP AL FETA PLAY, BALL, AND SUPPIR, OW BOARD HIS MA/ISTY . 3 SHIP BRITANNIA, AT PLYMOUTH. The Officers of the above ship gave an elegant en tertainment on Monday evening la s t, to the Nobility, Gentry, and visitors of Plymouth and its environs.— Tickets were issued for the admission of 300 persons. At six o'clock boats were stationed at Stonehouse, and the other rendezvous, for the embarkation of the company ; soon after which a brilliant assemblage of fashion and beauty were collected in Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE'S cabin, the Commander-in-Chief (who re ceived them with his usual urbanity), consisting of die Earl and Countess of Sr. G ERM A I NS, Countess of MORLEY, and her son, Lord BORINGDON, Hon. Mr. PELHAM, Admirals Sir EDWARD THORNBOROUGH and Sir MANLY and Lady DIXON, Sir J. BRUCE, &C. Sec. The Theatre opened with the Play of the Rivals, the characters as follow : Sir Anthony Absolute - Mr. Sons.. Captain Absolute - - Mr. Wauscrr. Sir Lucius O'Trigger Mr. BENTHAM. Faulkland - • - - Mr. Wu.siNstot. Bob Acres - - Mr. Dunes. Fag - Mr. Gums. David - Mr. HZATIMAL James - Mr. blugao. Coachman - - Mr. Lsscau.ss. Mrs. Malaprop - Mr. HARVEY. Lydia Languish - Mr. TYLDON. Julia - Mr. SYKES. Lucy - Mr. LINDSEY. It might be considered almost invidious to particu larise any person, but the Sir Anthony Absolute of Mr. Scene was so admirably pourtrayed, that it would have received the approbation of the London Boards; the rest of the characters were well cast, and the representatives of the Ladies, sustained by the young Gentlemen, would have been more effective, could they have divested themselves of the timidity attendant on a first appearance. In the meeting be tween Acres and Captain Absolute, as Beverly, when Sir Lucius O'Trigger is arranging the ceremony of the duel, the evening gun was fired, which, from the coincidence, had a startling effect on the Ladies. After the play, the ball commenced. On the com pany ascending to the quarter-deck, the scene ap peared enchanting ; do awning was suspended from the main to the mizen-mast, the interior fitted up with flags, in the costume of a Turkish pavilion, the after part of the quarter-deck brilliantly illuminated with variegated lamps; the word "Britannia" was con spicuous, as well as the King's _arms, and different devices, embellished with laurels and flowers, form- ing bowers and recesses, surrounding the platform' of the quarter-deck and poop. The deck was chalked very appropriately with nautical emblems. The ball was opened at eleven o'clock, by Lieutenant BERTRAM and Lady DIXON, with the lively tune of "We'll gang nae mair to yon totan,"which was followed by quadrilles, sustained with great spirit until one o clock, when supper was announced. The tables were I arranged en the middle gun-deck. The supper con sisted of every delicacy the season could produce, and the wines were excellent. The company, although so numerous, found every accommodation. Many loyal toasts were drank, and hilarity and good humour were depicted in every countenance. After supper the dance was renewed with great glee, and the com pany did not all separate until Aurora began to peep on their festivities. During an interval of the qua drilles, the piper of the BRITANNIA struck up a Scotch reel, which was elegantly performed by a Lady and two of the Officers, much to the gratification of the spectators. The evening was calm, and the bosom of the ocean uniuffied. The general feeling seemed to be, what every Englishman wishes—" May Britan- 4 nia ever rule the waves." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Lawson immediatek.iniXted up, and having vainly endeavoured to stop him, seitell difitard stick that was standing near, and-followed the deriding ititlie next room, where, however, he escaped out of *be window, by which it appears he must have entered. Mr. Laws°, nsade two or three lunges at the man, who was probably 'rounded, marks of blood being discovered on the iron gates, which it is supposed he sealed, as well as on the parapet of the wall. Several articles q6svotring apparel were previously stoke out of amain Gen. tleman's rooms In the same building, but the robber, labia baste to decamp, left them tied together near the gate. The College offered a reward of fifty guineas for the discovery (Ache offender, and a man has been apprehended on suspicion, and is conunitted for further examination. bbNvflinook PAM DUBLIN, AUG UST 2?.

Donnybrook Fair is in truth a Fair for the fair to see, and why? because it would not be fair to exclude them ! and if thei were excluded, it would not fare so well with the tent owners, whose pavilions they so embellish. The amusements at Donnybrook this season are on a grand and most extensive scale; Equestrians and Equestrianesses, are there to be seen ; tight rop e Ladie; and slack wire Gentlemen ; three she-columbines, two he-harlequin!', fivelclowns, a pair If puutaleena, Billy Button, a *large family of monkey; sporting Molly from the county Down, the famous dog Snippy, and a great variety of cheese muu-gers, beefeaters, rowley-powley ladies, &c.

There was as pretty a fight there last evening as need be,,be• . tween a Brayonian and a Mullingarian—and all about Kitty Cullen. And why not ? The age of chivalry is not gone, for most elegant was the pugi-lick-stick tournament between:the aforesaid Brayonian, who was backed by a Rath-drummet ; and the hlullingarian, who was seconded by a Fingallian. The cause of the quarrel was something that was said to the disparagement of Kitty Cullen by the Mullingarian, on which the Brayoilian, whose foster-brother was own cousin to Kitty's step-sister, gave him a dowse in the ear, just to tarn him better. They fought on thkplains of Donnybrook for about twenty minutes, aehen the Mullingarian, finding that he was likely to come off second best, declared his willingness to apologize to Kitty for the uninten tional affront. This peace-offering was accepted, and the parties, as is usual in those cases, adjourned to a friend's tent to regale, and their first toast was " Kitty's beautiful health." Yesterday was the Fair-day, and a fair day it was; the de scendants of the subjects of Brian the Victorious, assembled its thousands on the plains of Donnybrook, where they were as happy as the sons of Irish Kings. About half-past eleven o'clock the fair was thinned considera bly of its numbers : the night was bright moon-light, and along the line of road from Donnybrook to the Canal Bridge, was one continued scene of pleasure.—Dublin Morning Post.
