, I PON In ILL A DRY. • ig hss been suggested to us to ask 'whether the con toed parade of the sale of tiie property here, is not meant 0 rover a hoax upon the public, in the disposal of ve i c tes at a much greater price than their real value. The yccality 4certsin newspapers, in the insertion of repeated c oons fro:n the citalogne, and lengthened puffs which fe es to come fro:u the Auctioneer's counting-house, is, raliarly rein trkble. Mr. Beckford has become a very room; and his nonsensical notes are carefully collect ed trout the margins of the various books he had read in t i e course of his " mysterious seclusion." There is a s . sir of purposed decep ti o n in all this ; and thou g h there m ay be no great crime in such a method of emptying (we vcu not say picking) the pockets of curiosity-mongers, and spereltplinnters, yet the Press has no right to lend itself to the purposes of such speculations. Let its advertise for they are no better, be put in their proper place, c unposed in the usual type, that the public may know u pon what authority the narratives rest :—and not receive as a uthentic intelligence, what is nothing but interested w preaentations. a-mm, Mg. GRAHAM'S AERIAL AR EN? FROM CIIEL TENHANI. We bare this morning received from a Corresrndent the buoyant account of Mr. Graham's ascent yesterday from Cheltenham:— Cheltenham, Sept. 24th, 1823. " I hasten t 6 inform you of the ascent of Mr. Graham's Balloon, which took place here this day at 20 minutes after -I. The weather was fine, and the ground full of nobility sal gentry; among whom were the Duke of Buckingham's family, the Earl of Coventry and family, General Lethbridge, &c. &c. On the Balloon being ready for aseentit was found not suffi:iently buoyant,& on rising front the ground, it just rose over the houses, descended in the street, and sailed along it for the distance of half a wile,amidst carriages and horsemen. The people at length 'weeds.' in getting hold of the Balloon, upon which Mr. Webb, who had accompanied Mi. Graham in the car, stept sat, and threw out some of the ballast I when the balloon, with Mr. Graham, immediately ascended majestically, into the Heavens, and although the atmosphere was cloudy, was la view about ten minutes. -It is not expected to go above ten or twelve miles. You will bear from me, by next post. R. DUNCAN." P. S. It is believed there was not sufficient gas in the balloon, when it first ascended. 319. SADLER'S Batcoost.—We have just time to state that Mr. Sadler ascended from Tuft Green, near lilicklegate Bar, in his balloon, about a quarter past four yesterday. The weather was stormy, and be had nigh been dashed oat tire car against the Bar walls, but be dexterously sus pended himself in the basket by the corgis, and thus escaped. A most numerous concourse of people were assembled, and upon the whole the ascent was a very good one. When last seen, the balloon was in the direction of Selby.—( York Courant, Sept. 23.)

It would be a curious calculation to ascertain the cost of every Bible distributed, by the various societies and asso. elation., which exist in Lthis country. There is reason to believe that the average price to the public, comparing the delivery with the contributions would exceed one poised each! The Society for the conversion of the 'Jews have spent more than one die risand pounds for every convert, real and pretended, which they have made. We are sorry to announce the severe loss which the public has sustained by the death of that eminent physician Dr. Matthew Baillie, who died at his seat near Cirencester, in Tuesday last. lie was considered, in many points of view, as being at the head of his profession ; and, neat to his family and immediate connexions, none will he more sensible of his loss than the gentlemen of his own pro• Session. • ELEGANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, &c.—The No. loility and Geatry we invited to Word the Were Rooms of COOPF.

IRELAND. Corm SPIICJAL StBSIONS.—A Court was held under the insurrection Act at Mallow, County Cork, on Thursday list. Mr. Blacker, the Assistant Barrister, and twenty one Magistrates were present. John Sheehan was charged with having certain ammu nition in his possession, after being called upon by an ►uthorised person to deliver them up; and also with being absent from his dwelling-place. John Dorman, policeman, stated that he was on duty on the night of the 15th Sept. at Killavtillen, where he met the prisoner at about half past nine o'clock; wit nese asked him where be was going, but be gave no satis factory answer. Witness carried him to the Guard house, John Clark stated, that he had been ordered to search the prisoner's person; and before he did FO, he demanded whether he had ammunition or arms concealed ? the wit ness replied that he had neither; witness then proceeded to search his person, and found a small box of slugs and a piece of lead concealed in his waistcoat pocket. Ws root at the BACK was stained with blood, which appeared fresh. Prisoner said that his nose had been bleeding. The prison er could give no satisfactory account of himself ; lie was interrogated by Mr. Lowe, and it appeared that he had slept at IVallstown (near Mr. Franks's house) on the night after Ai r . Franks. and hisjamily were murdered. He is a young lad, and seemed to be s.aewd and intelligent, al though sullen and reserved. The Magistrates, without hesitation, convicted the pri soner, who was sentenced by Mr. Blacker to be transported for seven years. Coax, Seer. 20.—0 n Wednesday night last, some of the deluded miscreants who have so long disgraced this countt y by their crimes, entered thtough a window, which they forced open, into the Parish Church, at %V hitechusch, which lies on the Old 3larlow road, within four miles of this City. They conveyed a large quantity of pitch and tow, together with some gunpowder into the Church ; after strewing these materials along the pews and under the pulpit, they applied a light. The combustibles must have been quickly consumed, as the fire did not extend much beyond the pulpit, which gave way. Some of the pews were partially burnt; but we are happy to add that the flee did not reach the roof.—(Cork Advertiser.) . • APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERERS OF MR. FRANKS AND FAMILY. On the authority of a letter which we have seen from a ' respectable gentleman tear Mallow, we have much gratifi cation in communicating the intelligence that aLt. the bar barians engaged in that most diabolical murder have been apprehended, and that one of them has turned approver.— We trust that retributive justice will not be slow, that nei ther the approver, nor the miscreants his companions in blood, will be permitted the long interval between n this and next Assizes to retract his evidence, and to terrify and deter further witnesses. A Special Commission should issue forthwith, if the fact be confirmed ; it is due to the memory of the suiterers.—(Cork Mereq rp, Sept. 20. lisevirre—Cnors.---The various accounts we have been favoured with from our friends in different parts of the country represent the harvest work to have been proceeding nith great and uncommon rapidity ; in many districts w h ere it could not a fortnight since be expected, that the coops would be fit for the sickle 'till the close of this month, the corn has been cut this week, such was the very favourable e ffect of tie weather the last ten days, to which the slight rains of Friday and Saturday materially contributed. An experienced farmer, who, during the last week, visited an extensive tract of the North-western district of this county, where there is a large cultivation of mountain oats, has given it as his opinion, that in those p ore grounds, the crops of Oats this year are more favourable than they have been for many seasons, and that, in general, the return promised to be more abundant, than on grounds of richer soil and better improved cultivation. This morning pro duced a heavy fall of rain. but it cleared up about noon, with a favourable change of wind. The general expectation leads to hope, that, with the condnuance of moderate weather, very little torn will be standing in the County of Cook in the first week of October.--(Corkeltronicfc of Sep. tenaser 19.) 111 miry fair was held on yesterday, it afforded a very considerable show of stock of various descriptions ; from the contiguity to this city. the fair was attended by nume rous town buyers, who purchased freely for market, at ra vourable prices, as did farmers, of lean stork. Pigs sold high; the demand for those termed store pigs. being greater than the supply mgt. It WAY remarked that the, farmers purchased lean stock more extensively than at. other recent fairs; this is, however, accounted fur by the great vegetation, and the almost unprecedented verdore of the grass lands at this period of th►e season. The business of the fair terntinatal at an early hone, buyers and sellers op raring determined to have returned home in good time.— (Idenr.) Gong, September 20.—There was a sodden change lo the weather in the early part of yesterday, which, if it continued. might have done injury to the harvest, but towards mid-day it cleared, and has liven since very favourable for field work, which is going on actively in all quarters. This day ss e had a tolerable supply of wheat and oats; the former brought his. a 945. for very prime, the latter 20s. a 99a. Beer Barley, 29e. • 935. and for a few bags of malting qua ity, the first which appeared. 30s. was paid st a Brewery ; some grinding quality brought 235. Flour.—Prices of first quality hove declined Is. from last quotatioo ; other qualities remain nominally the same; but sales are still inconsiderable, and a further general reduc tion is looked for. The fair of Rathkeale, which► was held on Thursday, exhibited a gratifying promise to feeders. A number of Cork butchers attended, and were amply supplied with a variety of good fat tattle, which went off briskly at fair priers. Pigs in goad demand. Youthful horses of inferior quality were sold at low priees—(l4incrick Evening Post.) Crry or T.osison AUXILIARY Brats Socerry.—An anni versary meeting or the friends of this institution was held yet terday, at 12 o'clock, in the Egyptian Hall (Mansion House). The floor of that magnificent chamber was crowded ; but the platform we have seen much more numerously attended on former occasions. Shortly after 12 o'clock, the Lori Mayor, accompanied by two ladies, the Right Hon. Lord Bexley, Mr. Alderman Brown. Mr. Alderman Thompson, and several other gentlemen, presented themselves to the meeting, and were ex tremely well received. The Lord Mayor took the Chair ; and the annual Report having beeu read by the Secretary. Lord Bexley, in a long speech, moved that the Report be received, and Mr. Samuel Favell seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. Hull proposed the second Resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Laurie. the Sheriff elect. This being a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor and other Olken of the Institution, his Lord ship so! Mr. Alderman Brown took occasion to return their acknowledgments. Other resolutions were then proposed, and unanimously carried. after speeches from Mr. Sheriff 'Chomp sou, At P., Mr. Aldirman Keys, the Rev. J. Fletcher, of Step ney ; ht. Boissot (Minister of the French Protes tant Church in London), the Rev. J. Hillyer. of Bedford, Mr. James Allen, of the Society of Friends, the Rev. 11. Venn, Minister of St. Dunstan in the East. Herder LI.. D. and Barrister at Law, the Rev. Dr. Macbride, Arabic Professor in the Univer sity of Oxford, and one or two other gentlemen.

The Report expresses acknow ledgments to the ladies' branch of the society. There are cemented with that society about 160 ladies, who have, during the past year, collected from among the poor 3671., and who are now paying weekly visits to upwards of 600 industrious families, • in order to receive their bumble bat cheerful sub ' scriptions.n. THE STATESMAN• OLD BAILEY.--THIS DAY, Mary Rean was charged with stealing on the 6th o tember, in the parish of St. Margaret IVestmioster, yards of calico, the property of John Augustus Brookes. The Shopinan of the Prosecutor stated, that the prisoner came into It's masters shop about 2 o'clock, on the 6th of September, to match a remnant of blue cotton. Witness told her they had not the article she wanted. On her quitting the shop, he perceived that the prisoner had some thing' tinder her cloak. He followed and saw her going to a confectioner's shop in Parliament street, in which street his master's shop aas situate d. Witness charged the pri soner with the theft, and she instantly gave him the pro perty, and said it was great distress that had caused her to take it. Patmore a constable of St. Margaret's, took the prisoner into custody, and produced the property which thelast witness swore to, as bdongin^ to his master. The prisoner in her defence, said,that distress had driven her to the commission of the otlence, having two children to support. The Jury found her Guilty - Ilaaiehell, a Prussian, aged 16, was inflicted for stealing on the 11th Sept last, a watch, value 31. 10s., the property of John James Harris, a watelimakqk residing at Shattwell, and Leci for receiving the same, well know ing they were stolen. From the evidence, it appeared that Hanichell went into the shop of the prosecutor, under the pretence of pur chasing some heads, and placing his handkerchief upon the watch which lay upon the counter, removed it into his pocket, and said be would call again. A short time after he had quitted the shop, the robbery was discovered, and lianiclvfll was apprehended. Tile watch in question he had sold to the prisoner Levi for Ss., who hail been seen lurking about the shop window at the dine of the rob ben-. The Retro:Den summed up the evidence very minutely, and the Jury, after having retired for some time, returned with a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners, said strongly re commended the prisoner Ifanichell to mercy, believing Lim to have been the dupe of Levi. The RECORDER said their recommendation shodld certainly be attended to, and he conlil assure them that the law would not be carried into full effect upon the prisoner, although it would be necessary to send him out of the country. Atter commenting with great severity on vet conduct of Levi, who he said had been the means of placing t::e unfortu nate young men at the bar, lie immediately sentenced hint to be transported for 14 veera. %f Sep -23 INSOLVENT DEII lOUS' COURT, SEPT. 24. Wm. Earl, whose case e e noticed a few 'lays ago, was further examined to-day on the opposition of a tailor named Sheaubere, who swore that the insolvent stated that his son, for whom he ordered clothes, was at Oxford. The Insolvent denied having represented his son as being at Oxford; but said that his sou was apprenticed to a tanner in Oxfordshire. The COURT, taking into consideration the circumstances connected with his schedule, which took place on his former examination, and the strong probability of his having.in tentionallv deceived his creditor respecting his son b eing at at Oxford, although he might n it have said what was lite rally true, were of opinion that this was a case in which it was fit that the creditors should have an opportunity of making farther inquiry; and therefore ordered the insolvent to be remanded for six months, and confined within the walls of the prison. Henry Augustus Finucanc was oppo , ed by two tailors, named Triddel and Lot Lake, in person. The insolvent i. 25 years ofage, and said that he had lost 1.6001. by gaming, to which, and a quarrel with his half brother, he attribute I his insolvency. The creditor Lake examiued him at some length, for the purpose of showing that when he contracted the debt with.bm, 65!., he could have no reasonable exp. c tation of bring ah!e to pay it. It appeared that the insol vent's resources principally depended upon the bounty of his family, except (we understood) his (tall pay ; and that in the year 1821 his mother remitted hint money to the amount of 9001. which he divided amongst his creditors The Court o bserved, that when tailors or other tradesmen' came into that court to complain of the extrava , ani e of insolvents, they should first abuse that they themselves were not to blame in encoeraeing that extravagance, by allowing young men credit to any amount, wirlinat at least t•sng a reasonable dekree of diligence in inquiring and ascertaining whether or nut they had the means of paving; them.—lf they did this, they wotal entitle themselves to the prote tiOR of that Court ; but if they merely speculated on the chance that their friends would nut allow them to remain in pri,o4,. or any other probability of that kind, they Hoist abide by the result of the risk they chose t.t run. In the present case it did not appear that the slightest inquiry had bten made into the insolvent's circumstances, and upon that ground, and in consideration of his having divided the 9001. received front his mother amongst his creditors, they ordered the insolvent to he discharged. IN THE HATTER OF WM. WHIM AN ATTORNEY. About two months ago the Court had occ.binn to com plain of negligence in his duty on the part of Mr. White, or his clerks, and admonished Mr. White in person upon the subject. Ina few days afterwards, Mr. White not be ing in attendance when the case of one of his clients was called on, the Commissioners ordered his name to be struck ()tithe roll of attorneys on the lile of this Court. Mr. Pokkoca now tn..ved the Court that his name should . be restored, upon the grounds, as stated in the .alhdavits of Mr. White and his ileac, that on the day on which his 1 absence was complained of, his atten dance was prevented by important business before Master Cross, which obliged bun to depute one of his clerks in his stead, who, however neglected to be present in proper time. Mr. %Vitae pro mised, that if his application was granted, the Court should never again have occasion to complain of him. Under these circumstances, the Court ordered his name to be restned. The Court, at its rising, adjourned to the 31st of Oct. ap pointing, however, the 11th to hear unopposed cases. At a small church in a village nut 20 nines from Brighton, on Sunday se'nnight, as the Rector was prelching with much zeal to his Flock, exhorting theta to build their hopes on a firm foundation, and stand fast in the faith, the floor of the pulpit, which was much worn, gave way, when one foot and leg of the Rev. Divine passed thro' the boards, and his person suddenly and mysteriously disappeared ! The congregation (among whom where the. Preacher's wife and family) were for some time dreadfully alarmed ; but their Pastor soon dispelled their fears, by making a speedy resurrection, uninjured—and resuming the thread of his discourse, which hail been so unseasonably interrupted. (Sasses didverhser ) On Monday the Sth instant, while a threshing machine was at work on the preirOses of Mr. R. Adderley, of Mount sorrel, one of the pins flew out with great force and struck • boy of the name of Lynam, on the head, and brought him instantly to the ground ; for some time his life was despair ed of, but though he is now likely to survive the blew, distressing fears are entertained for the restoration of Lis' faculties. And on the following day, a man who had just entered the employ of Mr. Adderley, was attending the , same machine, when one of the wheels accidentally caught his smock frock.and instantly forced him among the Ivork s, by which one of his legs was broken to pieces.—(Notfing-, ham Review.) LONGXVITY.—Died on the seventeenth of February, in the Bay of St. John's, Antigua, a black woman named Static's, who, by information from herself, must have at tained the advanced age of 132 to 134. She was a slave, and was hired as a day labourer during the building of the gaol, and was present at thelaying of the corner stone, ma hick cere mony took place 118 years ago. She else stated that she was a young woman grown when President Sharpe assumed the administration of the Island, which was in 1703. so that, al lowing her to be then only eighteen, it brings her age to that of 13&.
