HAMILTON'S SYSTEM OF TUITION. Ire attended last night at the Crown and Anchor, to hear an isto g eo tory lecture by Mr. Hamilton, on a new method of whim foreign langnaces. After some very sensible remarks a pes the distinction between accent and proxhitciatioa, show leg d i m the latter mighibe equally perfect, op matter for the theh which it was accompanied, he proceeded to dis pours of the di ff erent letters ; contending that the simple sounds must same, or nearly so, in all languages ; tad ti they of necessity be acquired by an attentive i ne r t ias, in the course of a few lessons, by merely hearing them .it i etoetly enunciated. He proceeded to read in French a few vp from St. John, and to accompany each word with its 0/responding translation. This he called upon sevens of the oompany to repeat after him. The natural reserve of the Eng lish character prevented this call from being answered so promptly as the lecturer wished ; but several ladies and gee uemeo eepested them with tolerable accuracy. lie then pro ceeded to a GreelClesson on the same principles ;• but did not dwell l o se upon it ; his object being evidently to obtain a class pf French scholars. To those who know nothing of that lea .geege, heaters a perfect acquaintance with it in 4S lessons of one hoer each; and from his own perfect acquaintance with it, we think he may be credited by persons of ordinary ability ; 'but for his insurance against thick skulls, which he very line ns}, grolfecd, we fear he might play • losing game.

A young trick was attempted to be played off a few days ate, in the neighbourhood of Midlem, by • man of the name of John Monilaws, formerly tacksman of Childsknow, nue Lilliesltaf. John, baring been entrusted with the sale of some stock at Morpeth market for a gentleman, conceived a wondrous liking for the cash which he had got, amounting to 941.; bethinks himself how he could lull conscience to sleep; and after many a hard struggle between airs and duty—sin fairly gained the day,—and threw him down in the mire ~ all besmeared, sin tells hint to give himself a blow on the side of the head, then to take off his one stocking and shoe and print the soil with his bare foot, He thought he had made out a nice scheme to say he was robbed by two men of his 94/. and (here was the clever touch,) one of them bare footed, and the other a great tall man.—Away he comes to M Minn, *boat ten or eleven , at night —tells his doleful tale—and Jobs is pitied, blamed, and finally watched. Unfortunately lot the success of John's knavery, his friend sin did not re viled him that lie bad an enormous big toe—half an inch or 411 inch longer than the rest; so, though he stoutly denied, when the toe-mark upon the road was compared with the veal foot, John found sea had made him play the fool, and, .utter a few hours' reflection, be confessed he had hid the asensylwadyke, and intended thus to swindle his master, gins hasishown much kindness to him, of the sum. The recovety.of the money being of more importance than the punishment of the knave, Monilaws has been suffered to decamp.—(Border Courier.) On Wednesday last, soon after ten o'clock in the morn lag, the apper•part of High Street, Hastings, was in • .considerableitate of anxiety and alarm, is consequence of the axle tree of. tbe Paragon Coach, laden with passengers inside and out, with a quantity of luggage, having sudden ly broken, avd.cansed the Millie to turn over; by which accident, a man servant who was thrown against a wall with glass coping. received considerable injury ; he was taken up senseless, and conveyed to a neighbouring build lag, and, when be was sulficien , ly revivetd, to the borne of . Mr. Bellingham, where he had every attention afforded him. A lady oat her forehead, and a gentleman his knee, and two other person received slight injury. Medical assistance wae,promptly hail recourse to, and the sufferers, we are happy to announce, are doing well. Much praise is due to the numerous spectators, and to the proprietors of the Coach, for their exertions on the occasion ; also tp Mr. Junes Breeds, who with humanity , kindness , and readsosi (tOtolgh•om the opposite side of the question as a coach ptiprietor) seat his coach for the conveyance of the ipaeL **ors who were capable of being moved. It may be demised altogether a providential escape from imminent .danger, for had the coach been nearer the wall, die outside ftwelloers might have been precipitated a distance of twelve feet fro surface of the ground, and most pro leablysinay lives might have fallen a sacrifice to the &agrees event.—(Sesser Advertiser, Sept. 8.)

IRELAND. -...-- ',ESI NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THE INSURRECTION ACT. LIMERICK, SEPT. 6.—Yesterday, a Court of Special Sessions was held in the County Court; John Creed was the only person in confinement under the Insurrection Act: he was charged a ith being absent from his place of abode on three nights in the month of August. The charge was substantiated, and the prisoner being unable to account for his absence, or to produce any witness to give him a good character, was unanimously convicted. He was sent from the dock on his way to Cork, for transpor:atioo. After Mr. Blarkburne bad pronounced the sentence of the Court, he addressed some observations to the Bench, of which the following is the substance :—He said, that some recent events made it necessary for him, as far as in his power, to apprise the Magistrates, and all persons within the proclaimed districts, of the opinion which he formed on the construction of the clansein the Insurrection Act, which had rendered highly penal. tumultuous assemblies by day time. This Act of Parliament, enacted under the pressure of imperious necessity, and called into operation by the deliberate judgment of the Magistracy, had in some instances made criminal acts, which in ordinary times were in no respect illegal; in others, and especially in the case of tumultuous assemblies by day time, it gave to arts, in themselves illegal, a character of higher delin quency, annexing to their commission, a severer penalty than that to which they were before subject under the ordi nary law of the land. Every unlawful or tumultuous as setnlsly by day, in a proclaimed district, is therefore made punishable by transportation ; and, in order, as far as possible, to prevent any persons from incurring, through ignorance, so severe a sentence, lie now stamed, that any person answering and falling within this description of the Art, could not be exempted from its operation, by commit ting, or by proving, that its object was the ssion of some crime, cognizable by the common law, and punishable by another tribunal; whatever, therefore, be the ob ject of such an assembly, whether to destroy pro perty, to commit a riot or assault, to obstruct the process of the law, or to rescue a distress, it fell within the provisions of the statute, and did not cease to be a crime against the Insurrection Act, by com mitting a crime of inferior delinquency. — This , which he now stat al, lie felt to he the only construction which the Act would receive; and when he considered, that the spirit &into lion seemed of late to have settled into a system of violent anti tomnitoary resistance to the rights o f land lords anti tithe owners, he did not hesitate to say, that no case fell more clearly within the meaning or policy of the Act, than a tumultuous assembly engaged in rescuing a distress, or otherwise resisting the legal exercise of domi nion over property in land or in tithes. This was his opinion and be would not hesitate to act upon It, if (unhappily) an occasion for doing so should arise. If ignorance or misapprehension prevailed on the subject, he was most anxious to remove it. ty declaring the law from that place, and thus giving it all the publicity In his power. He concluded by impressing on the Magistrates the importance of making it known in Omit respective die tries with as little delay as possible. The Sessions are adjourned to the let October. On Thursday lost,Mr.Blackhurne held a Special Sessions under the Insurrection Act at Six-Mile-Bridge, where 15 persons were tried anti acwiitted. On Wednesday . night, a cow, the property of David Cronan, was malicronsli killed on the lands of Itallyeasey, near Court Bridge, in this County, anti a notice posted, that unless the lands were surrendered, width had been .taken last May, the °muff should be served in a similar manner. Same night, a quantity of hay, the property of a man at Kilcurly, who had given evidence at the Special Sessions, was thrown into the river hiagne, end destroyed. On Tuesday night, a farm house at liallyegna, the pro perty of Mr. N. Meade, of Newcastle, was attacked, and forcibly entered by a party of legislators, who committed considerable damage. by destroying a quantity of milk, cream, vessels, &c. and swore the milk woman and her family to quit, on pain of destruction. A few days pre vious to this outrage, Mr. Meade hail taken possession of a house on the lands of Ballyegoa, which lie haul thrown down, and which before then had been occupied and re sided in by Mary Walsh, alias Fitzgerald, the. mother of the schoolmaster (Edward Fitzgerald.) who was hanged for attacking and taking arms from Mr. Morgan's house, during the late disturbances. The taking possession and throwing down of this house was the cause of this outrage on Mr. Meade's property. Ten men were apprehended under the Insurrection Act, by the Rev. George Vincent, near Shanagolden, on Thurs day night. On Wednesday night last, an attack was made on the house of William Power, of Eragard, near Shanagoldie, but the fellows could not get in; they, however, attempted to burn the house, but without effect. On Friday se'nnight, a large party of men, mostly dress ed in white, assembled, and lay in wait on the lands of Clounlabarrid, in the neighbourhood of Olio, in this county. for the purpose of attacking the persons who value tithes for the Countess of Ormond there ; fortunately, the proctors got notice, and thus escaped. Time Countess of Ormond's under agent. Mr. Henry Sheehy, some days previous, got notice that if he or bis proctors went on the lands to value tithes they would be murdered.—{Limerick Chronicle.) The for of Dromeolliher, which was held on IVednesday, exhibited a gratifying improvement in the sale of pigs. The market was well supplied with cattle of all descriptions and buyers more than usually numerous .—( lbid.) !n- I Pouce.—The two men apprehended yesterday, when alighting from the Woodford Coach, at the Royal Ex change, upon suspicion of being the persons concerned in breaking into a house at Laughton, were transmitted from the Mansion House to the public office in Lambeth Street, for examination this day. One of them of the name of Edwards, was lately io custody for many days, relative to the murder of the late Mrs. Donatty. MetairtcnoLv ACClDlNT.—Yesterday afternoon, a little girl, about six years old, who had been playing about the yard of Mr. Whitelock, timber-merebant, Paddington Wharf, being missed by ber father, a sawyer in the yard, he went in search oldie child, and was shocked to discover. one of her feet visible near thesarface of the water in the canal. On felling into the canal, it would appear, the poor Want' tumbled headlong, and . er head stuck fast in' the mna at the bottom. She,bad been mimed for three quarters of so hour before the body was found, and half an hour elapsed afterwards before. eargical assistance arrived ;•so that all the efforts that were then employed to revive the spark A life proved:uoavailiog. MIV GRAHAM AND rns BALLOON. •• • • the Weak which we gave yeeteratty of tbe dimen sions, cost, &c. of Mr. Orshattes Balloon, the weight of the sand bags was overstated, as each of them contained , fear and tut fourteen pounds of ballast. In fart, the as cending 'steer of the Balloon was underrated, in the late emporium* at Berwick Street, aft it was found that it would came three persons with east, and we now under stand that ),i r.

We have as yet heard only the name of Mr. Turnerelli, the sculptor, men tioned as one; so:that there is still room forlat least ano ther candidate who may may aspire to the honour of cleaving the clouds. Mr. Graham is to be accommodated with instruments from the Royal Institution, for the purpose of making meteorological and other experiments in the course of his aerial voyage; so that we expect on his re turn an account of some interesting results. The Balloon, when inflated, measures forty feet, six % loch. diameter. Though this is less than the dimensions slated yesterday, we are ossnred it is the largest machine of the kind that has hitherto been made. The account from Leeds, in our Monday's paper, of the size of Mr. Seller's Balloon, is said to be exaggerated. MR. GREEN'S BALLOON-ASCENT AT LEEDS. (Ills OWN ACCOUNT.) The encouragement and general support of the public at this place has repaid me for the disappointment and vexation 1 experienced in consequence of the conduct of Young Sadler, of Liverpool. who hearing from his father of nay intended ascent from Leeds, instantly . announced his intention of ascending on the day previous to the one which 1 had advertised for my ascent ! My balloon was completely inflated in one hour and five minutes, and on the signal fur my flight being given, the machine rose with grandeur into the heaven•. 1 reached a great elevation, and the view in this part of the kingdom was delightful beyond description. The mercury in the barometer stood at IS. 5, and on leaving the earth at 29. 7., the cold was intense when at the extreme height, the thermometer stood at 28, four degrees below the frees-1 fu g ; point. My descent was extremely dangerous; the wind raged with such violence that nothing could stop the progress of the balloon. I was dragged in the car, over hedge and ditch, for upwards of two miles, the grapple bearing away every thing it came in contact with, and had 1 not kept myself low in the car, 1 must have been destroy ed. Notwithstanding this prerantion, 1 received a severe blow on the head, by the car striking against a gate, which completely stunned me, and 1 was dashed on the ground. The balloon ascended, and took a direction towards the Norfolk coast. Some idea of the violence of the wind may be formed from the circumstance of my travelling 43 miles in IS minutes only. A Committee has been formed to raise ■ subscription to enable me to construct another balloon should 1 net recover my own. So illiberal was the condact of part of Young Saddler's Committee, that they applied to the lias Company to hold a Meeting of the Directors to supply him with gas for his billoan previous to their completing their engagement with me. The Directors nad, and 13 out of 14 voted to supply me first, because 1 haul first applied to them. The superiority of carbonated hydrogen gas for aeronantical purposes was clearly proved. Young Sadler, who was ' compelled to generate pure hydrogen on the old principle, was five hours and a half in half piling his balloon—wine was quite full in litule more than as hour. The above account was dictated by Mr. Green in his bed, to which we lament that ht• is confined at present, in con sequence of the injuries he received in his descent. We are happy to learn that this en:erprising individual is fast recovering, sad is about t•.) make an ascent very soon from York. SCLF REPROOD.—A man that had got upon the Cloth HAL and in that way witnessed the inflation of the balloon, on Thursday, without paying the adminsien fee, when he saw Mr. Sadler cast out ballast, in order to enable him to clear the buildings, entertained the notion thet be was throwing the sand bags at him, to resent his intension, and congratulated himself upon the aeronant having so bad an aim as to miss his mark.—(beets Mercury) SAILING MATCH.—The Sal ing Match for a Silver Cup. which remained undecided oa Tuesday, was repeated yester day by the same pleasure ressets. They started again from Illackfriars to sail to Wandsnorth Meadows, end back to Cum berland Gardena. The Waterloo took the lead going up, but the Spitfire was the first boat back. and consequently she won the prise. Tne Fortitude was second. The match on this ocetsion was fairly decided. and the Cup given to the winner. VAUXHALL. — Yesterday evening the Proprietivs of this ele gant place of amusement presented the public with a splendid Fele. arranged An a very extensive scale, milting all the at tractions of those which have been given on former occasions. A more fashionable and numerous attendance has not 'mitred this season; and the various entertainments for which this place is so celebrated, were again exhibited with undiminished effect to groups of happy spec'eturs, who testified their appro bation by repeated plaudits. Toe fineness of the weather, on which this amusement so much depends, contributed to render the scene will more pleasing. The various popular comic songs received as much laughter an I applause as usual, many of them being loudly encored. Miss TGNSTALL, sang delight fully; and Mr. BLACKNORK again displayed his wonderful evo lutions on the slack rope. The Ballet was extremely well got up ; the Minna de la Cone and Gavotte were introduced by two juvenile performers, and very neatly executed. Time fire works concluded the evening's amusement withtiteir accastom- ed brilliancy. On Tuesday se'nnight an inquisition was hell by Mr. Whateley, on view of the body of Mary Freeman, of ifurst Street, Birmingham, whose death was supposed to be' oecuioned by her husband, who had voluntarily surren• dered himself into the custody of the police, to await the 1 1 result of the investigation. it appeared in evidence, that the dressed was in a state of intoxication on Saturday and during the whole of the Sunday, and }hoot half past two o'clock on the latter day her husband reproached her for it, I in the presence of a neighbour, and fir her consequent neglect of his children. The deceased became exceedingly enraged, polled her husband by the nose, beat his head against the wall, and nevi the mast irritating language; he then gave her a slight blow in the face, and the neigh bour attempted to prevent farther violence, but the de ceased, in a lit of passion, ran at him with her clenched fiat and her husband pushing her gently away froinliim in his own defence, and to avoid the blow she was aiming at him, she fell against the wall. and then to the ground, and upon being raised up, expired in a few minutes. As it ap peared the deceased had been p edisposed to apoplexy, the medical gentlemen who were examined were of opinion that the fall alone could not, under the circumstances, occasion her death ; and that her extreme intoxication and violent passion would rupture the blood vessels of the brain. The evidence was minutely summed up, and commented upon by the Coro ner; and a most respeetableJury, under his direction, returned • verdict—" Tait the deceased died a natural death." The husband was immediately discharged.—lii the curse of the inquiry tae Coroner animadverted upon a hand-bill, given to him by one of the Jury, containing a most incorrect statement of the case, and strongly condemned the practice of circulst lug similar publications, which, as in the present instance, ge nerally conveyed the most palpable and gross misrepresents- Boas, and were calculated in the highest degree to prejudice the parties whose conduct might be the subject of solemn fit; vestigation.

When the prisoners were placed at the Bar to plead to the indictments against theta, John Smith, a young man charged on five indictments for uttering forged E;nlc of England notes, pleaded Guilty. I I Iteconnen.—" I bone you will not persist in your pre sent determination ; because if you do, sentence of death must inevitably be passed epos you, and in all probability the only public atoneoent you can make, will be by that sentence being carried into effect. Therefore, let me ad vise you to pursue a different course." Prisoner.—" My Lord, I am perfectly well aware of the awful situation in which I stand. I know that I stand on the brink of eternity, therefore fear to utter a falsehmet. If mercy cannot be extended to me here, I hope to receive it 'at the liands of my Creator." . RIICORDER.-••‘ Let the case stand till to-morrow—yen will have time to consider." Prisoner.—" My Lord, it is of no use—my mind is billy made up, an I I shall not retract the plea I have made." The REC3RDER then ordered the prisoner to be removed from the Bar until the arrival of the Judges. . • .lames Hughes, aged 17, was pot to the ba r on an in dictment charging him with assaulting James Humphries. on the King's highway, and stealing from his person • seal and key, his property. The prosecutor stated, that on the evening of Sunday. .the 17111 of Augnst, he was returning with his wife and child from Clerkenwell to his residence at Int. Oeorge s-in.the-Esst, and when near Sun-street, Spitalfields, the prisoner struck him a violent blow in the stomach, and immediately snatched at his chain and seals, which broke, avid the prisoner ran away with the seals sod part of the chain in his used. Prosecutor pur sued him, assisted by a watchman, to whom he give the alarm, and the prisoner was shortly secured. Several witnesses were called, who corroborated this testimony. The prisoner declared his innocence of the robbery..and called a woman named Kateli•tt, who related a conversa tion whirh site said took• place in the watelthonse, between herself and pros• cutor which tended materially to shake his previous testimony. The prosecutor was then recalled and denied in the most positive manner, that he had ever expressed the slightest doubt of the prisoner's Went ty. The Jury after some deliberation returned a Verdici of Guilty. RtCORDER,-." Prisoner, you have aggravated your offence very greatly by calling this woman, who has committed the grossest perjury in the at•empt to screen you from justice. Let Mrs. Ilatchett be committed." She was immertiwely removed front the holy of the Colt!, and comincte t down the steps to the gaol, and the n itnea.es on the triathoond over to prosecute her at the Sessions for wilful and corrupt perjury ; the proper Officer of the Court being directedlo prefers bill against her before the Grand Jury. John Smith, the young man who was pat heck till the arrival of the Judges, was again placed at the har,. and asked by Mr. Baron ORAIIAM if he persisted in the plea that be had previously m We. The prisoner replied Au a firm tone that lie did. Mr. Baron GRAHAM then, in the most humane manner, urged him to retract his plea. and abide his trial, observing that the weight he thns brought upon his head would. in all probability prevent the mere) , of the crows •beiqg ex tended to him. The prisoner repUed : Ify Lnrd, / ans gmeltg. f have given every informarhm to the Bank which it was in my power to give, and if the Government think me wrirthy their merciful consideration and my life is spared, I ib feel grateful. If not, whatever maitre the remit, I shill meet my fate with firmness." The clerk of the arraigns then read the indictment, en called upon him to say whether he was guilty or not guilty —The prisoner replied, with great firmness—" Ills plea was then ordered to be recorded. On Friday, the 15th ult. so inquisition was taken at Stoke Brum, Northamptonshire, on view of the body of a yoeng woman unknown, who, on the previous morning, was found drowned in one of the locks of the Grand Junction Canal. There being no evidence, except as to finding the body, b it information being given that the deceased had hero seen in one of Pickforil's. fly boats the night before she was found in the canal, the Coroner adyntrned the inquest, and issued summonses for the attendance of the necessary witnesses from London. Oa the 20th nit, the Jury again met, when Thomas Deaman, a private in the first regimen: of foot guards, was first examined, who stated, that he was proceeding from Nuneaton in War wickshire, to London, and fell in with the d-ceased by the side of the canal, about one o'clock on Wedn.sday after noon, and took her to a public house at Weedon, where he treated her with something to eat and drink, and . toldrher he would take her to London. They then walked along the side of the canal, till John Smith, the captain of one of Pickford's boles, took then in, and after carrying them some distance, told him he mast get out and walk a • little way by a wharf, where they were going to unload some goods, and then join them again on the other side Blis worth Tunnel, but the young woman might remain in the cabin. That he did so, and joined the boat again the first lock at Stoke, between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, when Smith asked him if the woman belonged to him, to which he replied " No, she's nothing to me More than she is to you, only I brought her from Wee don with me,"--" becaus-," continued Smith, " a'- other man has been in the cabin to her, and don't like such people on board my boat, and shall send her on shore, bet if you like to ride as for as Fenny Stratford, you may." That the captain then told him to go into the cabin of another boat, so as the woman shoul not see him, which lie did ; and that Smith put her on shore at the third lock, snit told her she would find him, (Deaulan) at a stable at the mouth of the tunnel, as he was gone to sleep there. The soldier further stated that the night was very dark and rainy. This evidence was corroborated by that of Smith, and John Morris, the Captain of the other boat, and also by several other witnesses, who saw the deceased put on shore, any set off towards the stable to which Smith had directed her, but no one saw her afterwards, till she was found drowned in the s inn lock,about five o'clock on the following morn ing. The Jury, therefore, returned a verdict that the deceased was found drowned, but how, or by what means she became so, to evidence thereof appeared. After the verdict was delivered, the Coroner severely reprimanded Smith, the captain of the boat, and Deiman the soldier, fot their inhuman conduct in patting the deceased on shore io the middle of a dark rainy Willa. when it was their duty t.. have protected her at all events, till the morning, when there would have been no danger in doing so.
