Her Royal Highress the Duchess of Clarence is staid to e in that state, which promises an addition to the illustri ass House ol• Brunswick. We are extremely sorry to learn that Mr. Ricardo lies tbisigerou.lv ill at his seat in Glocestetshire. His complaint is an abscess in the head, which has formed just shove the ear, the pain of which is sa emote, that it is feared an in flammation of the brain may follow.

Several papers have ptibli4icul a heap of loose inemPrinda from a manuscript by Air. 11 , fliford, of Foothill, abrasive of the characterof the late 3le. Fux. We suppose'lliat few persons rare to know what Mr. Ileckl,rd thinks of Mr. Fox; if Mr. Fox haul ever thought it worth while to ex press an opin;on concerning Mr. Herkford, that, indeed, might be a matter of iisterest and curiosity. IRIRII Ranurrtoxs.—The Dahlia gt.eaiag Mail says decidedly that Government has suspended the reduction of of6c►s in Ireland. SECRETA RY JouNnax.—Notwitlistantling the intimations In some recent newspapers, f the vacancy to the office of Private Secretalr to tits Excellency the Marquess Wellesley, we find that Mr. Johnson's promotion to a high appoint, rent in Encland, is not, for the present, to deprive the Lott!

Asco,ta, Angust 10.—We have learnt by letters from Turbo lira, that the Greeks have fought a sanguinary battle between Thebes and Zeitonny in which the Turks lost 4tsJt) killed or wounded, and 400 prisoner,. Smne days after there was an engagement at Marashia, near Vole, in which the Turks had 4151 killed and lost 2tfit prisoners: in the first of these battles throw were 16,000 Turks against 70W Greeks. Captains Tor nari and Caracaisro, who were ordered to pursue Lie enemy, drove them beck into Thema ly, and forced teem to seek refuge In Larissa, The Americans hare declared by law, the Slave Trade to he Piracy, and eensegoently any of the citi:ous of the Unites) States who engage in that traffic are subject to the penalties for that offence. Their diplomatic Ministers also, are instructed to present Nuts to their respective Courts inviting them to pass similar laws affecting their own sub j •cts, and thus to make the Slave Trade Piracy all over the world. The United States Government condemns likewise, every ship which is bumf fitted out for t'uit traffic, although she may not actually have slaves on board. Ilalifax Papers to the ldle of August. state that ad. vices had been received (ruin Antigua, at HANN, dated the 11th of the preceding month, which mentioned that the Gooses of Legislature had met the slay preceding. The Lower House had been occnpied in discussion with closed doors, and it was reported that matter. of sleep import to the welfare of the island were under consideration. . This wet supposed to allude to the emancipation of slaves, which is reported to have canoed a great seasation in the island. By the same papers we learn that the Merchants of Laver Canada are already beginning to complain of some *Me effects of the late. Act of Parliament relating to Colo vial trade, particularly of the ss. per bd. dnty on floor imported -.coin the United Sates. which while it is benrfi• vial to the agricultural interests in Hie Upper Province, is *alealated to check the export trade of Montreal and Quebec.

FURIOUS DRIVINU. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN Stn, —The accident reported in your paper of Wedneiday. as (=erring from the racing of two gigs, driven by tradesmen at the East-cod of the town, demands more notice than a mere detail of such ad, occurrence. When hacknep:coachmen, or stage-coachmen play theie pranks from a spirit of Hvairy In digenous to every profession, and which are besides often urgedhy the passengers; out of the silly desire of any thing that could be construed into a pre-eminence, there ate very properly grave lectures read to them, and often heavy punish meets as properly Inflicted. Now, Sir, it appears to me, that persons offending in the same manner with their own vehicles, ought to be equally responsible to the law, as they equally endanger the safety of others; and when they have any per sons in company with them,there is no difference in the rye of reason between the responsibility of the one, and of the other. In this case there were Whim' lb both gigs I whose lives were endangered by the badness of the parties. if Mr. Martin, the meritorious looker after cruelty committed against horses, asses, and cattle, would endeavour to cheek the prae• ties of furious driving, it might be easily blended with his or dinary pursuits, and confer upon him additional credit. Your's, Ais OBSERVER, IRISH BUTTER. ....New.— A correspondent informs us, that the stock of butter accu mulates at the wheel, aid that the quantity now on hand, there is upwards of 70,000 firkins. The consumption runs princi pally ou Dutch, which comes forward in quantity fully equal to the London wants. The excess from Ireland is frg,6oo firkins, and from Ileilind 7,210 casks, or equal to 11,000 bleb Orkin,. It is a strange feature In the trade this season, that the stock is held principally by the chdesemongers ; for it seems that capitalists are becoming tired of losing their money. Towards the end of November or beginning of Dec. money becomes scarce, anti Bills at 2 months will then be filling due. Those facts, allied by the unprecedented large make in Ireland, places a det line beyond the possibility of doubt. bet those, therefore, who are clear of stock remain so, (until the large surplus which in those months will, un doubtedly be found at the public stores, aided by the wants of the holdev) enable legitimate trade to triumph over speculation. Best Waterford Butter has this day been sold at 71s. per cwt. landed. DINNER TO Ma. BROUGHAM, AT LASOOVV—PricPs three times and four times the original sum are offered 'unavailingly for tickets to this dinner: the enthusiasm that has been excited Is most excessive—the Stewards have done all they can to ac commodate those who applied previously to Friday night.— About fifty more than were originally intended will be admitted —hut still many hundreds must be disappointed. A full week before the dinner was to take place, the list of persons wishing to attend was filled up, a circumstance unprecedented in Glas gow, and we believe any *here else—the strong desire to meet with and express their approbation of our talented visitor, having in this instance completely changed the Scotch charac teristic of cautious coolness for warm rad participate euthu- siasm.—(Glasgow Free l'ress.) Mr. Brougham is on his way to spend a few days at Drum mond Castle. If lie pass through Perth, will the citizens have no mark of regard to pay to him who unites the characters of orator, politician, patriot, and philovmher, mere remarkably than any public man of his tluee?—(lbid.)

We are hippy to be able to state from authority, that the parchments that were stolen from the King's Bench office by the female servant employed to sweep that office, have been all recovered and restored to their respective places, so thistle this Gond no injury can arise from the theft.— ' (Mtbien Morn. Post.) Alterations and embellishments to a very considerable extent are proceeding with at L)ury Lane 'theatre, prepara tory to its ensuing opening, and it is cal uiated that the expense will amount to nearly 6,0001. The decorations of Covent Garden Theatre are proceed ing with great rapidity. awl it is expected they will be completed by the Ist of October. Tue plan of decoration is quite new, and promises to combine great iocreasecif splendour with additional comfort to the public. Mr. M'Adam's plan for paving the streets of London in a manner similar to that now cuing on in St.James's square, is, we find, to be tried immediately epon a m we extended scale. He commences next week in Perliament Street • the whole of which, froso Charing Cross to the House of L ords, is selected for the experiment, under an order from the Board of Works. Mr. Besnard, and the Dutch farmer who accompanies him, since they lest Belfast. we understand, Isere visited Olenerns Castle, Ballymena, Ballymoney. Kilrea, lilaglierefelt,Coleraine, Newtoilisnavadv, and Londonderry. At Glenaron Castle Mr. Besnard met Sir H. Davy, then on a visit to Mr. Al`Donnel, whose attention on every occasion that offers to benefit the country where he resides is inost conspicuous. We feel much pleasure in stating. that Sir H. Davy and Mr. M'Donnel accompanied Mr. Besnard to a flax field, where the Dutch farmer showed them Isis system of treating flax, of which, we understand, Str H:Davy highly approved.—(BeYket News-letter.) LYNN, September 9.—Since our last report, we have had a eontinuatite of exreedingly fine weather, and the harvest proceeds rapidly. WII4t has been carried the last week, is, generally speaking, in very fine order.—To day we hail a fair attendance at market; and a large supply of New Wheat: the farmers submitting to a decline of tla. to 10s. per quar ter, caused a great briskness in the trade. The supply of Old was very short; the holders at present are generally firm ; what little was disposed of, was at a decline of about 4s. per quarter.—We bad a very small supply of New Bar ley; condition very fine: the little disposed of, was decline of Is. to 2a. per quarter.—Oats in fair supply, and, having a steady demand, they were taken off snuck the saws as last week. THING/ COMING ASOUT.—We understand, from every good authority, that there are at this time no less than 22 distrusts in the parish of Terrington, near Lynn.—(Stans ford News.) Coats-Excwanon.

There is a considerable show of Oat samples, and so very l'ttle doing at present in this trade, that the prices are again reduced Is. per qr. 1311111171111 , MARILST, RAPT. 14.—There was a good supply this morning at market; but the prices of all descriptions of cattle remain as per last market day.

Muabaw:—William Britton Dyson was capitally ILA eted for the wilful murder of Eliza Anthony, on the 26th of July last. Mr. WALJORD stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner was decently attired in mourning, and listen. ed to the address of Mr. WaLpoRD to the Jury with very great attention, though dreadfully agitated. The case was for some time delayed in consequence Of the absence of Mr. ANDRRWs, *hen Mr. ADoLPHUs volun teered his services for the prisdnei till the arrival of his Counsel. Mr. Justice Baer, however, observed, that in a cane of inch great importance it would be extremely de: limbic to wait the arrival of Mr. Astonewn, who in all pro; bahility had taken his own views of the case: In a few minutes filet ANDREwS arrived, and the trial proceeded. Abraham Bedford, a coalh stated that he worked lathe coal barges on the Thames On I ThUrsaay morn Ing in July he observed the body of a female floating in the water, he assisted to get it on shore. Elizabeth Bell knows the prisoner at the bar; kneW Eliza Anthony Who lived with time prisoner in Sheerer& street. Who'll diUed with them on she 25th ofJuly,and left them shoot nine in the evening in Brewer itreet ; they both appeared very depreeseil,and said they should go to the play. About 12, the same night, prisoner and deceased came to her lodgings, but did not stay more than three minutes. Between 1 and 2 o'clock prisoner returned to her lodgings; he appeared to be very wet—Witness asked where Eliza was—Prisoner replied " poor thing, she is no snore, she is drowned." He said, she bad unfortunately drowned herself; Red he could not save ber.—Prisoner also said that Matteis had made her do it—and he also had intended to make away with himself.—Prisoner appeared in great trouble— Witness never saw a man in greater anguish of mind, his grief seemed very great. Witness had differed with the pri soner in consequence of the great affection lie had always shown to deceased. Prisoner requested witness to allow deceased to sleep with her that night, which she agreed to, sod sat up late for the purpose.—On prisoner's, return he was streaming with wet, and desire I witness to make every alarm, and also to inform deceased's mother, who resided in Boswell Court in Carey Street.—She did so. Witness never knew a mole kind and tender-hearted man in her life—does not believe he would injure a woman. Elizabeth Mary Ellis lives at IS, Sherrard-street, Gold en-square, stated that a saw the prisoner, the deceased, and Mrs. Bell, in company, on the evening of the 27th July. William Williams stated, that the prisoner and deceased lived in his house as man and wife—they were in arrear of rent about 18s. Witness remembers their going out on the evening of the July. Witness spoke to the great affection there appeared to be subsisting between the prison er and the deceased. Frances Hopkins corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Bell as to his being wet, an'l his exclaiming, " 0 Ma! Poor Eliza, she is drowned," &c. Robert Rawnsley, a watctimaii, was stationed in Jertnyn• street. Saw prisoner at half-past one on the morning of the 47th. Prisoner was exclaiming "0 dear, 0 dear, what have done I" and appeared greatly egitate.l. Witness arid '• Ydu have done something I am sure, end I shall take you to the watch-house." Prisoner said, •• It is all right," and rang the bell of Mrs. Bell's house; • person named Holliday came up at the time, and said the prisoner's name was Dyson. The upper part of his clothes was not wet—did lilt observe the lower part of his dress. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDRews.—Was not called before the Grand Jury, nor before the Magistrates—did not feel the prisoner's clones—will not take upon hint tea swear that any part of his dress was wet or dry. John Holliday. a Patrol of Bow-street, observed the pri soner standiog at Mrs. Bell's door, and asked what he wanted. Prisoner made no reply. Mrs. Bell's door was than opened, and prisoner went into the perms , . Witness afterwards west up stairs, and heard prisoner say to Mrs. Bed, Eliza is drowned. Prisoner appeared greatly alsrineii. James Ray, a private watchman, in the Speaker's Gar den, stated that on the morning of the 26th of July, he was on duty, and heard the cries of " Eliza! Eliza . ! my dear! help! help !" and " murder" repeated times. He could not give assistance, because he was locked in. It was a calm night, and he wrs about .150 yards from the spot. George Salinway, a waterman moored his boat safe on the night of the 256, near Westminster Bridge, at ebb tide, found the boat next morning ne tr Old Palace Ysrd,i n deep water, alma toll yards f where he had left it. On his way to Vane nat morning, he found a bonnet be neath one of the seats ; the seats were very dirty, as if some person• had been struggling in it. Samnel Willson, a Waterman, stated that from his knowledge of the river, the boat of last witness would scarcely have been afloat at half post one o'clock; there was not suffiLient water to have drowned a person. Mr. Ji-ffries, a aur /eon, saw the body of deceased. which the understood had been six days in the water. It was in a very putrid state. The head appeared ezceeilingly swollen, and very much disfigured ; the head and face, in his opinion, exhibited every appearance of external violence having been nsed. Witness opened the body; the longs were full of black blond, which proved that she died from suffocation. Witness did not open the head.— John Harding, also a surgeon, examined the deceased in company with last witness. The face exhibited marks of violence under the left eye. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDRRws.—Had never before seen a body after it had been six days in the water. By the t :eon —Had some experience relative to drowned persons. The face of the deceased was more swollen than tie had ever observed any. Vould out say what occasioned the marks. Thomas Corhyn, a surgeon, saw the body, but did not open it. The evidence of this witness was much the same as that given 'by the other surgeons. • Mr. Jeffries recalled.—The deceased was five months ' gone a ith child. Thoina. Gasket! examined the body before the Coroner's Jury. His Opinio • was, that external violence hail not been used; found no extravasated blood. Nothing could induce him to believe that external violence had been used before death. John Reeve apprehended the prisoner ; he was very me lancholy, and made no resistance. Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, produced the notes df the pri soner's confession at the Coroner's Inquest. It was a copy only. Mr. Justice Beer observed that it was not correct to bring a copy. The original document ought to be furnished to the Court; but as the extract was in his (the Coroner's) own' hand writing, he might be permitted to read it. The Coroner afterwards begged 'leave to state, from his great experience in drowned persons who had been in the water a much shorter time than the drowned. such appearances as had been described by the surgeons when there had been no suspicion of violence. His LORDSHIP considered this a very important state ment. At a quarter to one, the prisoner was called upon for his defence. He declined to say any thing —bat called several witnesses who gave bins an excellent character. After a very able summing up by Mr. Justice Best, the Jery at two o'oloek, begged to retire to consider their verdict, and had not reiersed when our paper went to press. BALLOON BOUND.—On the 6th inst. a large balloon, with a ear, or boat under it, but without any person in it, was picked up at sea, near Wyeh•op Zee, by fishermen, and carried into the 'Fetal, where, it is said, it was taken In charge by Mr. Tiede Ch ' 'mos. It is mode of silk, and has the arms of &salami upon it.
