EDINBURGH, NOVEMBER 16. The Canal packet,. frpm Lock /4. 16, came into rt Hopetoun, at ten o'clock on Wednesday night, crowded with passengers. Although time are lamps at the landing, place, its unfinished state renders it dangerous to persons unacquainted with the spot. — Amongst the passengers were several members of the Edaiburgh Tljeatre, returning from Glasgow. While a porter was arranging their luggage on a truck, a Gentleman, with his trunk, deviated in the darkness fi om the path,and fell into the canal. Several persons gave assistance, and, just as he was got out, another splash was heard, and a second person smmersed,who proved to be Mr. Hilliard, of the Theatre ; fortunately be was quickly ertricated,with the loss of an umbrella the struggle. While his friends were advising him t) hasten home, a third splash , was distinctly heard, accompanied with an outcry of " a woman has fallen in, hand the boat-hook." The general agitation in creased, but the feelings of a husband and daughters were estreme.on discovering that Mrs. Nicol, having stepped aside.for her umbrella, had gone bead fore most into the basin. By the activity of porters and boatmen she: was, however, soon rescued from her perilous situation;having retained sufficient presence of mind te , conclude -that her clothes would support her until she seized the proffered hook. She walked home as fast as her powers would permit under such circumstances, and everything being done to prevent cold,this distinguished public favourite and deserving private character, has not suffered any great injury. Tuesday, Alexander Gow, servant to Lord GRAY, was found drowned in a mill-dam, near Kinfauns Castle. The deceased left his house after dinner, on an errand to the Castle, and it is supposed that, owing to the darkness of the night, he missed his way on his return. It appears that, after he had fallen, he made several unsuccessful attempts to save himself,as seve ral slender shrubs which grew upon the banks of the i:am were found torn from their roots, having yielded to the strength of his dying grasp.

O 1 • . YVON COUla OkdrommALry, NOY.' 19. tabatsoN V. PRATER. • The principal facts 6f the case were stated in our Paper of Wednesday last, and this day Lord STOWELL delivered his judgment respecting it. His Lordship ' began by recapitulating the circumstance; and ob served that the quest i on w hi c h h e was cal led upon to decide related to the just and proper distribution of certain prize -money that arose from the capture' of La Esperanza, a Spanish merchautman, in the year 1806, and in the harbour of Ruenos•Ayres, soon after the reduction of that place by the joint expedi tion under Sir W. Beresford and Sir li. Popham. The history of that enterprise was well known ; it was not undertaken by directions from the Government, but on the responsibility of the, parties who commanded, though their proceedings were subseqUently approved and confirmed at home. Sir H. Popham soon quitted the place with the naval force under his command, leaving Captain Thomson, who was Chief Officer on board the Neptune, with the Pegasus, because the latter drew less water. Sir W. Beresford remained at Buenos Ayres with a garrison composed of soldiers, and of seamen trained to the use of small arms. In 1813 a warrant was granted by the Crown,by the advice of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, directing that a moiety of the value of the prize in question should be distributed among thecaptors, and Mr. Frazer, an agent, was instructed to prepare a scheme for its due apportionment. The subject under consideration had been for a long time pending, and its settlement retarded by circumstances which were easily •ei plained. The transaction was remote in point of dis tance, and had sinceecorne remote in point of date. Sir William I3etesford had been employed since it oc curred in various services, both military and civil, and in different parts of Europe, whilst the other parties had been dispersed likewise in the course of their professional duties. He came then at once to the plain and essential merits of the case before him. A Spanish vessel, La Esperanza, coming from Cadiz, was seen sailing into the harbour, totally ignorant of the capture of the town and fortress, or of their being at that time in the possession of an enemy. Her approach - was perceived from the ramparts, upon which Sir W. Beresford ordered Spanish colours to be hoisted, and the guns to be pointed against her. Such was the ordinary stratagem employed by an enemy for the purpose of deceiving the master and crew of a vessel under similar circumstances. At this time Captain Thompson was on Arose, no doubt for justifiable reasons, and Lieutenant Bishop was left in command of the Pegasus. Hz, it seemed, with a view of compelling the Spanish vessel to anchor, ordered a musket to be fired across her as she passed on. This had the desired effect ; but it did not fol ' low that it was a submission to a hostile force, or that it took place under the influence of terror. Here was no resistance made, as was made" in the case that was cited of a vessel carried into Ostend, and afterwards condemned, in which one of the vessels alluded to had mounted three swivels, whilst the other had only musketry on board. With regard to the first capture then, he saw no pretence for saying that it' was complete by means of stbe shot fired from the Pegasus. Indeed, he should not consider it more extravagant to term the anchor ing of a vessel coming up the River Thames, in con sequence of a shot fired from Tilbury Font, a sur , render on one side and capture on the other. Cap ' tain Thompson, who was then, as he had said, ashore, offered to go urt take possession w7th twenty men. Sir W. Beresford, already apprised of the situation of the Esperanza, readily accepted the offer, aad sup plied him with a large boat or launch, that had be longed to•the Spanish Viceroy, and was therefore at his (Sir W. Beresford's) disposal. The vessel was ac cordingly so taken possession of, and Without resist ance. Now, as to the scheme of distribution, it was not for that Court to controul the Royal bounty, even though the wisdom of its advisers might seem to have slumbered. Any inaccuracies or errors in the warrant might be rectified, but the clear and direct mandate of the Crown was binding, and he found that the military were expressly included in it. This might render the share of Captain Thompson and his mariners very small, and he (Lord Stowell) wished sincerely that it were larger, but small funds produced small profits, nor was the adventure of that class that reflected any particular splendour on those engaged in it. It was not any example of heroism, or of that undaunted alacrity in encounter ing a bloody contest which they sometimes, heard of. It was no more than he should expect from any 20 stout young men employed on the Thames, and ac customed to rough %feather. This last secured to be the only hazard to which the undertaking was sub ject. He doubted mnch whether the vessel could have escaped from the guns of the fortress, and did not apprehend that the case bore the slightest analogy to that of the two English vessels which afterwards effected their retreat. It was admitted that Sir W. Beresford was entitled, and how then exclude the' garrison? Captain Thompson and his seamen had shared the booty taken, in the successful 'expedition under Sir Robert Arbuthnot, which was almost con temporary; the seamen being trained to the use of small arms, were considered as soldiers, and there was the less ground for lamentation in the present instance. Looking at the case in these different points of view, he could not regard it as one of injustice or hardship, and certainly could not admit it to be one in which the Court ought to alter or distirrb the scheme which had been proposed. REYNOLDS IN THE CASE OF THE MATCHLESS. This was the case of an appeal from the Vice-Ad miralty Court of Newfoundland, which 114..1 con demned the " Matchless" schooner from Halifax; as having on board corn, flour, - and other goods, under the management and controul of one Chiever, a sub ject of the United States, in the character, as was contended, of factor. It was admitted that the laper %vas an alien born, but it was asserted that the cargo and vessel were the property-of British subjects, that the consignors and consignees were British, and that chiever was merely a supercargo. The chief point was the real character of Chiever, and whether he was a factor within the meaning of the different Acts for regulating our Colonial trade.—Judgment postponed.

It wai a pain to him to appear opposed to the other candidates, who, lie et stood, were all of them me ritorious individuals, * he wished from hi s s o u l th a t they could a ll be supp ied under the Corporatio n ; 14 , but as• that could not be done, he had only to select the most eligible, and give to that person his decided support. He knew Mr. Norton to be a respectable and honokrable man upwards of forty years, and there were, independently of the former pro.perons, and the Present adverse condition of his life, claims which would no doubt have weight with the Livery. lie had been twice disappointed in his applications. ' Mr. BROOKS seconded the nomination. Mr. Deputy CROWDER stated that he stood for ward to put in nomination a person well known and greatly esteemed by his fellow-citizens, Mr. Lewis Lewis. That honourable individual bad once been in circumstances which seemed calculated to chal lenge the freaks of fortune ; but the fluctuation of the times, which had produced such general distress, had visited him heavily. His cause would speak more to the hearts around him than any language he could use. Mr. OLDHAM seconded the nomination. Mr. Lewis had as strong claims as any man could have to the situation ; he had, in his early life, been in the most flattering circumstances, having been the proprietor of the New London Tavern, and to his fostering hand many who were now enjoying the sweets of prospe rity, owed the means - of their present happiness. His hand and heart were always open to the distressed ; and fifteen years of his life he had devoted to the ser vice of that Corporation to which he now looked for assistance in the day of calamity. Mr. Lewis was now fallen into decay, but had paid every farthing he owed. He must sink under misfortunes, if the means of turning want into comfort, and bitterness into joy, were not applied by those around him. The next two candidates were Mr. Aubrey and Mr. Shotter, whose characters were highly spoken of by the Gentlemen who put them in nomination. Mr. Mesnard then stood forward, and begged to withdraw his name, reserving to himself the privilege of making another application. The names having been then put up, and the Town Clerk having called upon the Livery to hold up their hands, as he announced each candidate, there ap peared an immense majority for Mr. Lmwts. Mr. NORTON also had a great shew ; but the Sheriffs im mediately dechred, that the election had fallen upon Mr. LEwis. A poll was then demanded upon the part of Mr. NORTON, which continued for one hour, and at the close the numbers stood, for Mr. LEWIS, 167 ; Mr. NORTON, 96 ; and Mr. SIIOTTER, 5. The poll will continue open for some. days. This is a remarkable day in the history of the coun try. On the 20th of November, 870, EDMUND, King of the East Angles, having been attacked by the Danes, and unable to resist them, heroically offered to sur render himself a prisoner, provided they would spare his subjects. The Danes, however, having seized him, used their utmost endeavours to induce ED-. At UND to renounce his religion, but refusing to comply, they first beat him with clubs, then scourged him with whips, and afterwards binding him to a stake, killed him with their arrows. The house in which ERASMUS was born, in a little street fronting .the south of the Cathedral at Amster dam, has within this last week been turned into a li quor shop, with his portrait as a sign over the door. His figure, in miniature, which was deposited shortly after his dissolution in a little round window nearly at the top of the house, still remains, by which the house of his birth is made known to all strangers, who never fail to visit it. The celebrated statue of the above great man stands upon an arch crossing a ca nal, and is nearly ten feet high. It was finishel in the year 162% and is said to be the chef cfceuwe of Henry de Reiser, a very celebrated statuary and ar chitect. The figure is bronze, clad in an ecclesiasti cal habit, with an open book in his hand. Oudaan, the poet, has done honour to this star of erudition, in the-following lines, in Dutch, which are inscribed,on his pedestal, and thus in English: Erasmus here, the eloquent and wise, That sun of Learning, rose and spread his beam O'er a benighted world, through lowering skies, And shed on Basil's towers his parting gleam. Here his great relics lie—be blest the place; No proud preserver of his fame shall prove The l'arian pile, the' fraught with sculptur'd Wader, his mausoleum is above! In the. Cathedral of St. Lawrence, in Amsterdam, the chief attraction is a magnificent bi ass ballustrade, of exquisite workmanship, which separates the choir from the nave, and the monuments of Cornelius de Witt, Johannes a Brackel, and Admiral Rorlenaar. Among the acts of neglect chargeable on the Bri. tish Ministry, that of not cultivating a friendship with Persia is by no means one of the least import ance. Persia, in all respects so important as a mart for our manufactures--as an avenue to our Oriental dominions—as a balance to the ambitious prepon derance of another Power—has been actually flung into the arms of that very Power, by the imbecility or apathy of those to whom the foreign concerns of England have been intrusted. An obscure Lieute. nant of Native Cavalry, from India, has been matched against some of the most accomplished Russian states men, at the Court of Teheran, and we have fared accordingly ; for the influence of this country over the Persian Councils has been annihilated ; and that of Russia, supported at once by able military diplo matists, and by a contiguous army of a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, reigns there paramount.— The►e are bad specimens of the art of Government. May we hope that there may yet be some redemption for English interests and honour, as well in the ap pointment of Mr. CANNING as in the awakened sen sibility of the Directors of our India Company to the immense magnitude of the questions involved in their policy towards Persia! We hope that on his MA.- JESTICS arrival in town this week, this subject, in all its details, will be submitted to .the Royal notice as one deserving of immediate attention. r 5 - - 1 , ! * 4 l l 'W O •.4 • 9 ..f rISIA. iIOXI-146.

Lundyloot's receiver ; and be also distinguished himself at the Fives Court Ina set-to with I Curtis. Yandall was the favourite at sto 4 on stripping. • *The men weighed about ten stone right pounds each. A great con ' course of people assembled, and at two o'clock a ring was formed. Crouch was second for Reeves, and Stockman bottle-holder.— Perry, the waterman, and another coat and badge gentleman officiated for Yandall. ltouwn 1. The attitude of both was good; Yandall nude play right and left, which was well stopped by Reeves; a short rally took place without much mischief to either; they then closed, and Reeves was thrown. 2. Yandall made play again, but so fine was the stopping frf Reeves with both hands, that Yandall found he was oppnsed to as good a man as himself. Some good hits were eachanged, and Reeves placed some chattering hits upon the mug of Yandall, and it was discerned by the ring be had got a very aggl . y custonter. 3,4, 5, and 6. Li these rounds it was principally stopping and closing, without either receiving much injury. 7. Yandall again made play, and succeeded in planting two good hits on his opponent, which drew blood from the month and left ear of Reeves ; closed, and Yandkll thrown. 8. Some despyrate fighting in this round; Reeves placed such a smashing hit on the nose of Yandall, that he was floored as if shot.- . -4 to 1 was offered on Reeves, but no takers. • 9. Yandall's nob was chancerified, and bled so profusely that it was evident he bad no chance of winning. Yandall was again knocked down. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and up to the 20th round. Some of the flash party administered the recipe for fighting on the defensive, not forgetting Richmond's method, tapping hack and falling, that he brought himself about.-4 to lon Reeves still. 21, 22. In these rounds Yandall began to try his luck again, by making fight first;- Vandal' tried dextrowly to get into the wind market, but Reeves appeared not to relish it, most admi rably stopped his attempts, and placed a dreadful crack over she Left eye of Yandall, so that blood poured down his whole frame. fa the end of this round Yandall was knocked down.-40 to on Reeves. 23. Yandall's head was dreadfully disfigured. Iteeves planted two hits on his contused nob and floored him. •44 and last. Reeves, quite gay, planted one of Neat's lugrrs under the left ear of Yandall, and he was deaf to time. Ltsaimuts.—lt was a fight of more than ordinary science; Reeves was.but little hit. Vandal! is a good fighter and agorae man ; he was very much beaten, but he was opposed to a better fighter and a surer•hitter. Reeves, after dressing himself, crossed the water to Swan-stairs, where he was received with three cheers. '[he fight lasted one hour and four minutes. PEDESTRIANISM. ; ' t 7gl4 . )(ATOM FOY ONE HUNDRED 4OVEREICNS. This match had excited much interest in the better part of the sporting world, Mr. AIPIRNETUY the north country p e d es trian, having matched himself to do the journey from Canterbury to London against Lieut. Hassanares performance on the preceding day. The Lieutenant did his work well in two minutes and a half under eleven hours; and the performance was so out-and cut good, that twe to one was betted upon time. The Scotsman had his admirers ; and odds against him were taken freely. Mr. Aismirrhir went from Sittingbourne to start with the umpire of his adversary only. He wore flannel and thick shoes, and did his ground as follows ;—First mile in nine minutes 20 seconds ; and 20 miles in three hours and 10 minutes. The pedestrian halted five minutes, and proceeded regularly at work in full con fidence of winning. He did the nest ten miles in an hour and 40 minutes, and took ten minutes rest. He kept in a winning pace throughout, and did the 56 milei its 10 hours and 35 mi nutes, fresh and well. ROYAL. HUNT. Friday a large deer was turned out of the cart at Longford, for the day's diversion. The assemblage of sportsmen was nu merous. The deer took by West Drayton and Amsworth to the left of the Magpies, through the inclosures towards Cowley arid Hillingdon, to the rigbt across the Uxbridge road, towards Harrow on the Hill; the deer then crossed the Paddington Ca nal, and up the hill to the left of Castlebar, taking by Harrow Weald Common, where be ran into a Gentleman's ioclosed yard, and the hounds being up with him he leaped into an open out house, at which place the huntsmen and other sportsmen imme diately took him. The place where the deer was taken is )8 miles from Windsor: it was a spirited chase of two hol , re aid a half. Nlany of the sportsmen's horses were done up before the end of the chace, the ground being very wet. Last week Mr. BANKES, son of one of the Pevenscy Marsh Lookers, shot at Mx wild ducks, which he saw drop on the wing and settle in the Marsh, and killed them all. And on Monday se'nnight, Mr. JAMES Daws, of Robertsbridge, killisd near that town a partridge and a hare at one shot. The partridge was strong on the wing, and the hare quick in motion. Last night, about ten o'clock, as Mr, BEntrztz, of Sin& Thames, was returning home front the Royalty Theatre, through Wellelose-square, he was suddenly seized by the arms, by a man who came behind him : two other men instantly attacked him, and began to rifle his pockets; but Mr. llgnwcr.i. being an arh.. letic man, disengaged himself, and knocked one of them down At the same instant he received' a severe blow on the back part of his head, which stunned him, and he fell. On his recovery he missed his watch and seven or eight shillings. Friday night, the waggoner who had the charge of Fox's waggon, from IVrexham to Oswestty, was found in the road opposite the Pwll, with his head literally ground to piece;, as is supposed by the wheels passing over him. The hot ses brought the waggon home safe. A faithhil dog, which had accompanied the waggoner, could not by any means be induced to leave the corpse, or permit it to be removed, although numerous enticements and menaces were used for that purpose, until the arrival of the other waggoner, when he immediately quitted it. Monday afternoon, as two men and a woman, in a light cart, were turning the corner of Islington, to wards the City-road, at a sharp pace, one of the wheels of their cart came incontact with a stage-coach, which broke the shafts, and so frightened their horse, that, notwithstanding the exertions of the driver, he ran away with the broken eau for some distance, until stopped against a lamp-post. One of the men was thrown Got by the first shock, and not much injured ; the woman fell shortly after, and WAS, struck with great violence by the wheel, which went over ht . !. ; she was taken up insensible, and cltried to a Surgeon's In the neighbourhood.
