Reread passages to show that the Noble Atitbor, Lord Byron, was ridiculing the person of the King—that it was much worse, politically, than the works of Pine;—tbat its tendency was " sweepingly immoral,"—and this silly bookseller, who is in the same breath contending for Lis rlght of publication, has been set on by some waggish wit (for his speech wgs written) to read an extract, and ask ihe Court, *bedsit.," any gentleman, who had the least regard • for his Glorify, would permit such a poem to be laid on a • table, to which bit family, particularly females, had ac • Bess?" The meatuses& of pirating a work, is lost in the paramount baseness of pirating npon such grounds, and the stupid folly of complaining that " it would be a great • liardaltip to restrain him from selling a work, which, i " it de*ervell the character he gars it, he ought to be " tarried (int of society for suffering to be laid upon his " counter." WINDSOR, A ng..7.—Hie Majesty now generally rides out daily when the weather peewits. Yesterday, his Majesty drove out in his little chaise, attended by the Lord Steward, and proceeded from the LAte to Frogmure, the residence, of the Princess Augusta, where the King wa. met by the Duchess of Gloucester, who arrived from her Royal High aess's residence at Bagshot Park.

Five small houses, in an unfinished state, in one of the small streets at the back of the City of Hereford, public boom, fell in on Monday morning, of their own accord, as a wit observed. The slight construction ut mans of the small tenements in this town calls for public notice. Many are unsafe to be inhabited. Tits CHAIN PIEL—The pier. as you look at it from Ibis opposite cliff, through the standards, chains, and super— won rods, has a beautifel sod vista-like appearance. the extreme edge, around the outer pier, is surmounted by a neat wooden fence; the platform is to he overlaid with stone. At the most southern poist steps are constructed, kir the convenience of embarking and diremhlrking anger, and goods, from the packets and trading vessels. The workmen are busily employed in laying the door of the road, planks being laid temporarily on the unfinished part, for the men and visitors to pass over. Tbe entrance gate and the toll house, At the esplanade, will be very shortly erected. The wls of the works are proceeding rapidly towards completion.

ATIIIOIIPRBRIC PHINOTIRKON.-41 celestial appearance of rather rare occurrence io this island was seen on the morning of Wednesday, July 93, in the neighbourhood of Blairgowrie, The night had been clear and still ; but as the morning ad vanced a large assemblage of dense rugged clouds was spread over the sky, which slowly followed each other to shapeless masses from west to east. There appeared evidently a ten dency in several of the lower fragments of these clouds to the formation of what at sea is milled a „ water-spout." After some repeated attempts, as it were, a small protuberance from the lower part of one of the darkest masses was seen gradually to lengthen, until it evidently assumed a form unlike the usual appearances of the clouds. In about a quarter of a minute It had reached a conside , aple length, and uad its side well de fined. which at the beginning of the formation were jagged like the other clouds. It continued to lengthen, and took a sloping direction, inclined apparently towards the south-east. la less than a minute it had reached Its full size, when it appeared in the form of a large speaking trumpet, to which water-spouts are usually compared, with its large end in the cloud, and not much inclined from the perpendicular, but with a small betid ing in the middle. It became more and more conspicuous, till at last it was distinctly observed to have a rotatory motion from the small pieces of cloud of which It was composed shifting with great swiftness their places from one side to the other. In about two minutes after its first formation, and when it was seen most distinctly developed, it gradually disappeared from the lower end, and was wholly dispersed in a few seconds. The writer of this remembers to have seen a similar water spout, also over ban +, in the neighhour'ioctil of Dundee, shout ten years ago. They appeared alike in every respect to those observed at sea, with the exception of the water, which they sometimes pour down.—(Caledonian Merettry.) MR. BekzoNt.—We are concerned to state the failure of Mr. Itelzoni's intended journey across Mount Atlas to Tombactoo. The f.llowing extract of a letter, dated Ol in-altar, the 20th of June. has been communicated to us by a friend of Mr. Belzoni's, in this University:—" I am not, my dear Sir, in the least acqnainted with the rules of philosophy ; but thus far I know, from the experiences of es, that such help may be derived. which, united with perseverance, may bring our intended views to a cone• plete success in the end. I have tnet with an unexpected s'op to my progress, as owing to some intrigues, his Nla• jest) , the Emperor-of Morocco has not permitted me to pro. ceed on my joirsey through his country. This, I am told, is owing to the convulsed state of the country through which I should have td pass, and the Emperor thought that it would not be safe fur me to make the attempt ; but I have reason to believe that my r. Neal has been Win g to some underhand measures from some other quarters—but they are woefully mistaken who tisiek that they can turn me back with one blow. The may cons-qtrence of this re verse is, that owing to what I have gathered of informa tion I shall be able to proceed with better prospects in another quarter ; and by tke time you will receive this, I shall probably be on.-third of my journey further south than I have been in my list route. All that I regret are the five months I employed in this affair, and the heavy ex penses necessarily incurred, which united to she presents made to his Alaj sty, Isis. Ministers, and his attendant., would be something more than I could support, if I si.ould be obliged to repeat that part too often." We hope and trust that the persrverence of this indefatigable traveller will finally be successful, and that Isis labours will not he suffered to droop end languish from want of that support, which merit like his ought and we are confident will re. cries from a generrus and enlightened public.—(Cumbridge (Aron. Aug. 7.) Thursday, in pursuance nfa plan to improve the avenues of Parliamea., the materiels of the Olt! house of Lords, the robing room, and passages. were sold by auction, under the orderof the Surveyor Oeneral Of his Majesty's Office of Works. The demolition of this venerable pile ;lon not ex• tend to the Painted Chamber, which is to remain some time longer. The whole of the structure to be pulled down must, according to the terms of sale, he moved off by the purchasers i:a the course of fourteen days. The gothic stone arches in the brick and stone work, were not sold, hut retained by the Board of Works. The puikon this occasion found a good opportunity to extmline the famous subterra nean vaults. in which lisydo Fawkes and the other conspi rators laid the powder to blow up King James and his Par liament. The door to the vault from Cotton Barden, by which the traitors entered, is now bricked up. The moment that they had passed that door, they were under the Robing Room, where the King and 'Royal Family put on their Parliamentary robes. Some dis tance further in the vaults they were under the Royal Throne, where the King toek his seat. Had the train been lighted, according to the supposed plan of the conspira tors, tile catastrophe must have been terrible indeed. The ap ;menace of the smelts is altered by the bricking up of arches and paving; but no one who has seen the place can doubt for a moment that every facility was anrded for the execution of the Intended explosion. The scene of the bloody project sill soon pass away with the destruction of the b which Is to be replaced by another range, under the direction of Mr. Beane. The roof timber is discovered to be of ches- Fet, and not of oak, as some supposed. It is still sound, and would no doubt stand a century longer. We are not prepared to stale the precise time at which the building was erected.— The House of Commons, which adjoins the House of Lords, was, according to Stowe. a Chapel founded by King Stephen, in 1141. It was new-built by Edward 111. in 1317, who had his Court on the spot. The House having been surrendered to Edward VI. it has been from that time used as a Parliament House. On the authority of Stowe, we may conclude that the ancient walls and toof have been standing bad years. In the reign of James I. the House had a number of steelier build ings adjoining. Coss, Aua. s.—t-Vie are concerned to state, that the dwelling house of Sir. John Murphy, at Dunderrow, within two miles of Kinsale, was maliciously set 6re to, on Sunday night last. Several shots were fired at the windows. which alarmed Mr. Murphy, wboyeturned the astailaa.s fire with such promptitude, that they were forced to retreat. We are happy to say, that Mr. Murphy succeeded in extinguishing the fire before any considerable input , had been effected. — Mr. Murphy is tithe collector to the liev.

Liii#- BCRHUARY AND EXTENSIVE, ROBBERY AT BETH PALACE. Yesterday morning morning information was given at Union Hall Polies Office as follows !--A most extraordinary . burglary was committed last night, or early this morning, in the ye nerable Palace, the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop and family are out of town, the former pursuing his usual visitation, with others of the Clergy, round his Diocese. Abort eleven o'clock last night, Mrs. Courtney, the housekeeper, and the domestics retired to rest, and about seven o'clock this morning the sweeps came to clean the hall chimney. Theyorter conducted them thither and opening the window to let out the dust occasioned by the job, he discovered a ladder in the little garden, placed against the lobby window, which was wide open, and was the only one not secured with iron bars. Immediate alarm was peen, and the whole neighbourhood was in an uproar. On further search they discovered a small crow bar hanging on a branch of a tree near the ladder. An endeavour was made to enter the lobby door from the stair head, but it was impregnable, being secured inside there are three other entrances to this room, all of Which were sectored and the keys taken away by the robbers. At length the potter ascended the ladder and got in at the window, when the work of plunder presented itself. lu this apartment 16 locks were picked, and the contents they secured stolen. The villains next broke into the dining room, where they appear to have met with little property, hut considerable damage was done to the furniture. Their next visit was to his Grace's study, to get an entrance to which they had to break open two strong doors. Here they seemed to have made the greatest havoc, every receptacle therein being broken open and ransacked. About fifty drawers and cabinets were completely demolish ed. Amongst other depositories was a red morocco box, bearing an inscription, •• H. R. H. the Duke of York's Council Box." His Orace's books were spread about the study, and a hesntifill sf•in•wooti cabinet was nearly dashed to atoms. The robbers then sent into Mrs. Sutton's bed chamber, in which every drawer was emptied : on the bed lay some valuable neckl ices and other trinkets, which the villains forgot to take with them. The next object was the long crimson gallery, where they did considerable mischief :a on the ground lay three ebony writing desks, broken to piece and their contents stolen. In fact, the whole range o apartments did not escape the notice of the burglars. Mrs, Courtney says, that in the course of the night she heard a noise over her head in the crimson gallery, hot went t sleep again, thinking it might be the eat. The villains lit themselves over the Palace with a wax candle which they found in the study. The amount of the plunder ofJourse cannot be yet ascert tined. A despatch was sent to his Grace at Haildington, informing him of the circunistance, and in the course of the morning Lord and Lady Manners called at the Palace, bearing of the burglary. Glennon, Gill, and other officers, were deputed to view the mansion, and, from their observation, it is beyond a doubt the rub hers are persons well arqiiabited with the structure. They referral their entry by getting over the wall of the Palace, in York Place, at the back of which are small gardens; they theu drew the bolts of the gate, and picked the luck, by which the gang entered : they then crossed the meadow and lawn till they came to another gate, the lock of which they also picked. This was the last obstruction they met with, as the window of the lobby was merely fastened with a coiomon holdfast. It is impossible to describe the alarm that prevails amongst the servants. Mrs. Courtney . has been so terrified thst she has not left her room ever since. Several ill looking fellows were observed about the Palace last night, but none can he recognised. Yesterday morning, the inhabitants of Davies -street, Berkeley-square, were considerably alarmed by the setter giving,• way. The first symptoms of danger appeared a few days ago, at the house of Mr. Hartland, hair-t 1 , of the above street, by some bricks giving way, but yesterday three or font houses were placed in a most dangerous coo (Hann, and were eonaiderahly sunk. The inhabitants com menced removime their goofs, &e. and labourers were im mediately employed to prop ty the buildings—information was also conveyed to the surveyor and parish officers. A gentleman in Edinburgh, on Friday week, esnt an Irishman he had had fir some time in h 6 service to the Bank with a check fo , 501. The fellow abscond.il with the money. The criminal Officers heard of the theft, and were on the alert. 'Ultra I o'clock on Sunday morning they found the object of their pursuit in bed in a house in Cow. caddens. Forty ;moods of the money were found iii his pocket. When ordered to rise and follow the olfi ers, •• Sure," says Pot, " you won't take me away till I spake with a friend that's out jolt now in a neighbour's house." A messenger was instantly despatched for the friend, but Instead of one friend, about 40 arrived, who rescued the ivllow out of the bands of the oHicers. A shocking accident hefel the driver of Russell's can, on its way fr.•m Bridport to Dorchester, on Tuesday night last. IVhen about three miles front this t iwn, the wheel came suddenly in contsct with a stone on the food, which ocra sioned so forcible a jerk to the vehicle, that the poor fel low, named Bray, was thrown with violence on the ground. Falling on his head lie was kil!el on the ep .t ; the wheel passing over his thigh, his leg was broken in two places, the bone protruding in a frightful manner. A man sitting by him at the time was likewise thrown from his seat, hut fortunately escaped with a few bruises. Wednesday an inquest on the body was held before WM. BOWER, Esq.. Mayor and Coron-r for this borough, and an hard. ligent Jury, when a verdict was returned of " Accidental Death." At the Salford Sessions yesterday week, a man named Wood Lawton was acquitted of a trilling felony, the feloni ous intent being in no degree snpporttal by the evidence for the prosecution. On being told he was at liberty, he, be fore leaving the bar, addressed to the Chairman, in a strong Lancashiredialect, and with a very energetic tone, the fol lowing question Worthy Cheertnan, will there he ony expenses allow'd for th' loss o'my toinie and trouble f"-- This claim from a prisoner to he paid for his loss of thee excited • roar of laughter in the Court, which scarcely per mitted the querist to hear the Chairman tell him that he had no authority to allow him any thing. Munpue.—On Thursday se'unight,, Alex. Davidson, a sawyer near Relugas, went with an old man, his father in-law, to fish in a pool on the river Daviot, at the bridge of Dultullich. Shortly afterwards, Thomas Macpherson, a neighbour, was seen going with his nets towards the same pool, which neither of the parties rented. While Davidson and his father in law were a.tjusting their net, a large stone thrown from the top of the rock, in a ledge of which Davidson was stationed, fell with great violence at the old man's feet, on the opposite side of the river, who in consequence desired his son.in-law to " see what Tani Macpherson meant, a. he was surely mad in thruwiny stones at that rate." When Daviiistin was rising to obey, another stone was thrown from the same quarter, which struck him on the head, and he instantly fell over the pre cipice into the water. The old man gave the alarm, and suspicion fixing on 3lacpberson, he was taken into custody In his owe lionse, hut contrived on various pretences to elude the vigilance of his keepers and escaped into the woods, thus confirming the suspicions which attached to him. Sir Thomas Dick Lander, Bart , with the assistance of the Procurator Fiscal (brought express from Elgin). investigated the lamentable affair, and took measures for the apprehension of Macpherson. After a search of three days, the body of Davidson was on Sunday foetid at Coat- Alan, in the river Findhorn, into which the Daviot flows. The body was carried to Relates, where it was examined by severs! surgeons from Porres. There ea. a severe econtesioo on the left temple. The deceased has left a wife and several ebildrea.—(Cotedosim Athwart) SPORTING INTRAKIRNM.. - NEWCASTLE AND POTTERY RACES, Auo. 11.• • A Sweepstakes for a Gold Cup of 100 gs and upwards : Sub scription lOgs each.
