IVixoson, AUGUST s.—Yesterday his Majesty drove out Tor a short time in his pony chaise, and returned to the Royal Lodge about 5 o'clock. Sir Wm. Knighton, who pays frequent visits to the Castle early in the morning, to give directions to the workmen employed there, came yesterday, in the middle of the day, a second time, accompanied by . Lord Francis Conyngham, soon atter which an order was issued for shutting up the Terrace from the public, preparatory, the order says, to his Majesty's residence in the Castle ; bat his Majesty is graci ously pleased to allow it to be opened for the public gratifi cation on Sunday evenings. The order was, of course, instantly obeyed, the people who happened. to he walking on the Terrace, were sent olf and the gates locked. On Wednesday the remains of his Grace, James Doke of Boxborglie, were interred in the ancient family vault at Bowden. The hearse was followed by the carriages of the family ; by those of the principal nobility and gentry of the county, and by the numerous and respectable ten antry of the lioxburg he estates, in carriages and on horse hack ; and on approaching Kelso, the shops of which were shut, and the bells were tolled at intervals, the members of the different trades, and, other inhabitants of the town preceeded the hearse as far as the Tweed. We have the satisfaction to announce, that letters have been received from Africa, reporting the safe arrival of 1)r. OUDNEY, Major DR:4IIIAM, and Lieut. CLAPPERTOM, at Bornou, on the 17th of April last. They were received with the utmost cordiality, and we are happy to say that they were in excellent health and spirits. Madame Quiroga, the wife of the Spanish General, has been captured by the French,on her voyage from Coruna* to this country, and carried into L'Orient. A letter was received yesterday from this lady, from which it appears that she has been refused permission to proceed on her voyage, and that she is detained a close prisoner in the house of the Prefect. Of this arbitrary proceeding, so contrary to the acknowledged gallantry of the French na tion, Madame Quirog a complains with jostler, and has ad dressed a memorial in very strong terms to the French Go vernment, demanding exemption from personal restraint, and to be allowed to go where she pleases. She has for warded letters through this country to her illustrious bus band, who will only receive information by this circuitous route of the misfortune that has befallen tier. It is sup posed that the Minerve, the vessel in which Madame Qat roga was captured, contained the letters and despatches from Sir R. Wilton to his friends in England. The Journal des Debate of Sanday contains a letter dated Port. St. Mary's. July 23, of which the following is an extract:—" Eight 24 pounders have arrived from Seville. Two are mounted on Fort St. Catherine. and four at Puerto Real, to reply to the fire of the Trocadero. On the 20th the officer on guard at St. Catherine saw an American ship standing towards Port St. Mary but did not observe that she carried a flag of trice: he ordered some shot to be fired, which luckily fell short of her. The 'mistake was explained.) wrote thatLallemand had both legs shot off. It is now said that it was not he. The fact is, that man in the uniform of a Spanish lieneral officer was found on the field of battle by two grenadiers of the 36th. On their proposing to remove him to get his wounds dressed, he said to them in French, " let me die, my friends, lam an unfortunate Frenchman. 1 have borne arms against France, Ido not dtserve your care." Ile was, however, removed in spite of hisnaelf to the hospital, where be died in half an boar. On his pocket book the French word Souvenir was inscribed. The Spanish pri soners said they knew nothing of him, except that they 'understood him to be a French officer of superior rank. lately arrived at Cadiz, sod serving under an assumed same." A letter from Paris of Saturday last mentions a report current there, that the traitor Ahisbal had been killed in a duel at Limoges with a lawyer (a coca!), who had reproach. •ed bim with his treacherous abandonment of the Constitu tional cause. TRI.ISTE, July 20.—Two vessels have just arrived I the first from Mitylene, in 28 days, informs its that the troops landed at Caristo by the Capital' Pacha have been attacked. and completely routed, by the Greeks. The Captain of 'the second, 30 days from Smyrna, says that the Greek fleet, in pursuit of the 'Turkish fleet, is composed of 120 sail. IXTRACT OP ♦ LETTItiI PROP TISE AGENTS TO LLOYD'S AT GENOA, 24TH ULT. " We have just seen a letter from Barcelona, dated the 15th. It states that Mina marched out of that city 00 the 13th, with about 600 horse and 3,000 infantry, and that the Trench titre very near that place. The Spanish privateer which was detained by one of the frigates of this State and brought in here, was released the same day, after a strict examination of ber papers. She is a long Xebec, called the Fralaga, mounting 6 guns, with 67 men, and had taken three 'valuable prises.' A report mentioned by the naval Agent at Bordeaux, in a letter to Lloyd's of the 27th ult. of another French mer chant ship having been captured and carried into Corunna, proves that no idea is entertained of that place being now Ain. danger from the French. *BRIM AUGUST 1 —La Clementine, of Havre, which left Brest to join the convoy destined for Martinique, was captured by a Spanish privateer four hours after her sailing from Brest. It is stated in one of the Geld Coast Gazettes, that at Ga lloon the natives have captured a cutter belonging to the English Consul at St. Thomas's, and put his son, who was in charge of the property, and the crew, to death. On Wednesday a Treasury warrant was received at the Custom-house declaring the flooding warehouses and vaults to be places of " special security" under the New Ware housing Bill, with the same privileges as the port of Lon don.—(Glesgoso Chronicle.) The elder Brandon, a cotemporary says, is not to resume his station at Covent-garden Theatre. He bas, it seems, oc cupied that station upwards of fitty years. Liston, according to report. is to receive 501. a week dur ing the ensuing season at Drury-lane Theatre. Miss Ste phens is to have 251. every night that she performs. Madame Wald bas arrived in Dublin, and was to make •ker first appearance at the New Theatre tomorrow even .lng, in an entertainmet called • Afweical Festival. — Madame Camila' will sing three Italian airs, and take a lint in the national anthem of hod save the fang, wide& ovillsonels de the entertainments of the evening. ►~ THE STATESMAN. LOVE AND DESPERATION. It is doubtless fresh in the recollection of our modem, that about three weeks ago a young lady and gedtleman, who it was supposed were hastening as fast as a chaise and four could take them, to some more convenient Temple of Hymen than the metropolis or its neighbourhood can boast of, were overtaken at Aylesbury by relentless pursuers, and the younglady, after considerable resistance from the lover, was torn from his arms, and compelled to return to London, while the disconsolaWyouth teas left to pursue his melan choly way, backwards or-forwards, as he chose, solos. Thus far did the particulars of this affair appear in the public jour gals at the time,but it did not end here, for some subsequent Eoceedings have taken place of rather a curious nature. The young gentleman, on his return, sought an interview with the fair object of his affections, but this he could not obtain. He then openly claimed her in mar riage from her father, but was rejected. He next had recourse to stratagem, to obtain a sight of her; but was in formed she was gone to a certain watering-place, whither he immediately went in pursuit of her, but she was not to be found, and he discovered that he had been misled. Ile returned to London, and, by the exercise of some ingenuity, got admission, with his brother, to the house of her father, where an interview took place between all the parties. A great deal of conversation, recriminatory as well as expostu. lalory, took place. The young gentleman urged his pre Nations with all the ardour of a youthful lover. The f... ther firmly persisted in his rejection of him for a son-in. law ; and the young lady herself, as is alleged on her side, gave him reason to believe that her sentiments, if she bad ever entertained any of a tender kind for him, had under- Rene a very considerable change. I twas then stated to him ia the course of the interview, that under the circumstances s 0( her elopement, the shaft of calumny might b e levelled her character—a slanderous world might say she WAS ion so pure as she should be, and if that were to happen, he need not be told bow dreadful might be the conse quences to her, and those connected with her. He was then asked if he would object to sign a certificate, declaring her to be pure and spotless as before lie knew her. He hesitated, because be was at a loss to know what could be the object of a request, seemingly so singular, and certainly very novel in its kind. Being pressed, however, he did sign it, at the same time giving, verbally, a most unequivo cal declaration to the same effect. He afterwards renewed his protestations of affection, and his urgent entreaties, to be allowed to lead her to the altar ; but was ag ain refused, and it was finally declared that she was engage d, and about to be married to another ! at this aid prudence forsook him, and he swore be would shoot her. His declaration was, " By o—, if she goes to the altar with any (Flier, she shall sever return from it alive !" He went to the house and repeated this declaration, and was attended by his brother, who was also said to have joined in the threats used by the lover. It was at length deemed necessary, for the safety of all parties, to appeal to the law, and an application was aside at one of the police office", in consequence of which a peace warrant was issued, hut the brother of the lever only was taken into custody, the other not being found. An examination, which lasted several hours, and which was strictly private, took place before the Magistrate who granted the warrant. The brother, in answer to the charge, denied that he hail ever made use of a threat, or any other expression which could be so construed. He de scanted upon the wretchedness and misery which his bro thee had endured, and was still suffering under, and de clared he was almost in a stare of madness. He had been induced (the defendant added) to sign the certificate which had been mentioned by a promise from the young lady, 'that open his signing It she would consent to have him. Here the young lady, who was present, said " I never made any such promist . ." The defendant declared she did. She said " if you will sign the certificate, I will have you." (calling him hist+ r i • n name) but when he had signed it,sbe declared " she could (or would) never have him." The young lady denied that she ever made such declara tion. It was further stated in her behalf, that she was at first by no means • consenting party to the elopement, for that the young Gentleman had prevailed upon her to enter the carriage, under a pretence of taking her for a drive merely; and they bad got more than twenty miles before she was informed, or even guessed at Isis intention, and it was then too late to retreat. A very long, and at intervals a very stormy, discussion before the Magistrate, terminated at length in an order from his Worship for the defendant to enter into sureties to a large amount to keep the peace to the young lady and her family, and to all his Majesty's subjects, until the next Session. The fair cense of all these proceedings, who is little more than seventeen years of age, was married, we under stand, to the favoured rival on Saturday last. The attempt at the assassination of a Christianized Jew, which we noticed about a month since, was fully investi gated before the Right Worshipful the Mayor on Saturday last, at the request of Lyon L , the person suspected of having committed the diabodieal act, who had left this city on business the morning after the suppose' attempt had been committed, and did not return until Thursday last, when he was informed by a friend that he was charged with the crime. Feeling coalitions of his innocence, he immediately applied to a Magistrate, and the charge was I appointed to be heard on Saturday. The deposition of I Isaacs, which bad been taken by the Mayor, soon after the wound had been inflicted, was read, when Mr. Lazarus en tered on his defence, and clearly proved an alibi by two persons, and that the accuser was a person of a malicious disposition, and not to be credited on oath, having been some time since confined in a prison. in London, for send ing threatening letters t 6 the Lords of the Admiralty ; and be also produced a witness who swore that Isaacs told bin, almost immediately on being wounded, that it was done by a tall person, and in his information, he had swore it was done by a short person. Isaacs endeavoured to interrupt Lazarus in his defence, when the Mayor, with a feeling which reflects on him great credit, and which we think ought to be the feeling of all Magistrates, and that'• he was more the counsel for the accused than the accuser, and would have a full and impartial hearing." After an in vestigation of nearly two hours, the Mayor declared that there was no ground whatever for the charge against Laza rus for the supposed offence; and not a person, it is believ ed, left the Hail, but was impressed with a conviction that the wound had been inflicted under very mysterious circum stances. The solicitor for the complainant very handsome ly thanked the Mayor for the patient and impartial hearing be had given to the case, and felt satisfied that the charge against Lazarus was unfounded, and he was immediately discharged.—(Exeter) Alfred. An Inquest was held last night at St. Bartholomew's, Hospital before '. Shelton, Esq. on the body of Cornelius Blake, a lad about 12 years of age. T. Hall, broker, state that as be was standing at the door of his house in Old street, last Saturday evening, he observed an engine going at a rapid rate, which was drawn by several men ; the de ceased, who was one of the persons drawing the engine; fell down and the hind wheel passed over his body ; he at. tempted to rise, bat was so weak he could not; and was picked up and taken to a neighbouring surgeon's, and from I thence be was removed to the Hospital; the engine was going to a tire in Boswell-street. Charles Woodward, dresser in the Hospital, examined the deceased as soon as brought there; he found an extensive bruise just above the hip, and he appeared to have sustained some serious inter nal injury ; he died the following day ; on opening the body, after death, be ascertained that the liver was rup tured. Verdict—Accideutal Death. LIMERICK ASSIZES, On Thursday, the most important trial which has occurred I since the commencement of our Assizes, came on to be tried before Baron Pennefather, in the County Court, when Richard Molony, Michael Ryan, William Casey, 'Thomas Moylan , Dab r Conway, and Thomas Meade, were capitally arraigned for at tacking the house of Henry Harding, Esq. at Denwlong, in this County, on the 19th of May last, and robbing it of arms and ammunition. Mr. Harding, with his three sisters, deposed , that their house was attacked by eight armed men, at ten o'clock in the morning of the 19th May last—that they entered the house by bursting in the lower windows, when one of the prisoners rushed up to Mr. Harding's bed room, and de- • • mended his arms and ammunition. Mr. Harding fired at, but missed him, when another of the gang fired at Mr. Harding, but without effect—they then plundered the house of whatever arms and ammunition it contained. The six prisoners at the bar were identified as forming some of the party. The trial lasted from twelve o'clock in the morning till nine in the even ing, when the Jury retired for • quarter of an hour, and brought in a verdict of Guilty, but recommended them for mercy, as they committed no violence on the family. The Learned Judge then addressed the Prisoners, and, after expatiating on the enormity of the crime for which they were convicted, said, that it was his painful duty to pass upon them the awful sentence of the Law, but that he would give them a long day, so as to forward the Jury's recommendation to the proper quarter. They were then conveyed from the Court to the Gaol. acaoapsnied by the heart-rending shrieks of their afflicted friends and relatives. They were all young men. From the number of Prisoners that remain to be tried, to gether with the awaiting the arrival of Mrs. llare, to prosecute the murderers of Major Hare, her husband, it is expected that the Assizes will be adjourned for a few weeks. DEVON ASSIZES. DYNE V. BYNE. This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiff as j willow and administratix of Henry Byne, Esq. late of Sat terleigls, in this county, to recover from the defendant I (who was the son of the deceased by a former wife) two boxes, containing title deeds and other papers. Mr. Wilde, after stating the readiness of the plaintiff to submit the whole matter in dispute to a gentleman of the bar, which was declined by the defendant's attorney, open ed the case with his usual ability • and after commencing severely on the conduct of the defendant, called Mr. firih ble, a banker of Barnstaple, who stated that the plaintiff doposited with him in the early put of 1522, ttva boxes for safe keeping, and that they remained with him until the 26th of last" May, when they were delivered to the plaintiff; witness proved that the boxes were heavy, but could not speak to their contents. George Bendel!, a chaise driver, proved felting the boxes from the bank, an 1 driving them with plaintiff to the defendant's house, where the boxes were left, and on the following morning defendant refused to deliver them up to the plaintiff. :\ letter was then produced, written by defendant, dated 280 May, sta ting that lie had secured the boxes, as the deeds contained therein belonged to him, as heir at law • f his deceased fa ther, and offering to give up any part of their contents which might belong to the plaintiff. Mr. Tanner, of South molton, plaintiff's att irney,proved demanding the boxes on the 29th May, (the day after the letter was written by de fendant) anti that the defendant denied then having taken or having seen them, or that lie knew any thing about them, and that his wife, in his presence, also made a similar de claration, and observed, that if plaintiff fancied he had any of their boxes, she had better do her best or worst to get them. Witness also proved that Mr. Riccard, defendant's attorney, on the same day avowed having them, and that defendant held them as heir at law of the deceased. The case was closed on the part of the pl tintiff by prov ing a notice, delivered to defendant's attorney, to produce the boxes and papers mentioned in the pleathugs in the action. Mr. Sergeant Pam. conducted the defenre,and endeavour ed to enforce on the minds of the Jury that as no evidence hsd been prodnce•l to show the contents of the boxes, da mages only for their value should be awarded, but called no witnesses. The Learned Judge summed np the evidence by observing, that daring fifty years' experience he hal never heard of so gross an art as the defendant's, as to the mode of getting possession of the deeds ; —the letter appeared to he a trick of the defendant's, written with no other view than to give a colour to his defence,under the impression that it might be read in evidence, for on the following day he denied having seen the boxes, and had refused to give them up, or profit' e them on trial, although a notice for that pu►pose had been given. The defendant might be considered in the eve of the law ax a spoliator. His Lordship differed entirely from the Learned Set grant, that damages only for the v alue of the wood of the boxes ought to he given, and thought that the Jury should atvari such damages as would ensure a re turn of the boxes and their contest's. The Learned Judge, after animadverting severely on the defendant's conduct, left it to the Jury to say what damages should be given. The Jury, after a short consultation, delivered their verdict in favour of the plaintiff, Twenty Thousand Pounds damages, which, after some observations from his Lord ship, was reduced to 1000/. SOCIETY OF BORDER6Rs.—Theinhabitants of the Scottish border formed originally a race separate and distinct from the general mass of the population of Scotland. Occupy ing a mountainous and inaccessible district of country, on the confines of a hostile nation, their habits and pursuits were chiefly those of war and the chase. Such a life natu rally made them patient of toil and danger; and, ignorant of fear, they made vigorous and successful resistance to the inroads of their Southern neighbours. Though sometimes lawless, their valour more than once secured the rights of their Sovereign and the independence of their country. Their manners, their customs, and their dress, were long pe culiar to themselves ; though in later times, and under h ip pier circumstances, these characteristics have in a great mea sure disappeared. Yet the descendants of that race have, in the recent triumphs of their country's arms, emulated and maintained themartial fame of their ancestors; nor are the present inhabitants of the Scottish Border inferior to any in the United Kingdom for moral and religious principle, loyalty to the Sovereign, zeal for the interests and weltare of their country, and devoted attachment to their native land. During his Majesty's visit to Scotland, in August 1822, a meeting of Gentlemen connected with the Scottish Borth r was held, with the view of instituting a Society for reviving and perpetuating the memory of the warlike deeds, the mannets customs and the dress, games and sports of the ancient Borderers ; and which might also be mace subservient to the valuable purposes of benevo lence. A committee was then appointed, with instructions to take such me.,sures as they might think proper for car rying into effect the view► of the meeting. These consider ations joined with a desire to commemorate his most gra cious Majesty's late visit to Scotland, and to prevent the name and recollection of the ancient Borderers from perishing among its, gave rise to the :.hove meeting; and it deserves the approbation and support of every Borderer who che rishes the memory of his forefathers, and whose heart has ever kindled at the recital of their warlike deeds in the le gends and songs of the Scottish bards ; and we have no doubt that before many months elapse, their ranks will be filled up with members of the first respeetability which the Border counties of Dumfries, Roxburgh, Berw►ck, Selkirk, and Peebles, can produce.—(Dumfries Journal, July 29.) COMPETITION OF PIPERS AT EDINBURGH. Besides the performances of professional Pipers in com petition for the premiums of the Highland Society, of which we yesterday gave an account, extracted from the Edinburg'lt Star, there appears, from other papers, to have been another performance, against which no person attempted to enter into competition. It is not stated whether the per. former hadziny premium in view; and "who pays the piper" weknow not. The air,adapted to Highland instruments. and to Highland ears was, in a bat the Scotch term thefleetehing style ; and is supposed to have been suggested by some pieces that were played in the blarney strain, upon the Irish harp, on the occasion of the Royal visit to the Emerald Isle. A• cording to the statement to which we have referred, Sir John Sinclair, as President of the C. tn. mittee of Judges, previous to the distribution of the prizes, addressed the audience. so fur as could be collected, in near ly the following terms : " It is in the highest degree gratifying to the Committee of judges appointed to decide the premiums on the present oec .- sion, to see this competition attended by ad numerous and re spectable an audience. There is no period since those compe titions were first established that the natives of Scotland have had so much reason to be proud of their national distinctim4. of dress, of music, and of dancing, or ought to be more anxious to preserve them, than since the fortunate era when our gracious Sovereign favoured his northern dominions with his presence. Ile came here to do honour to the peculiar else.- racteristica of the Scottish nation ; he came here to listen to our Scottish music, to encourage , his Royal approbation, our Scottish wle of dancing—to wear the Highland garb—to partake of our Scottish hanquets—to atten !, the Scottish Kitt —and to do justice to the Scottish characterfor loyalty and ge nuine patriotism. It is a singular circumstance, to which I am happy in this opportunity of publicly adterting, that wher3 a number of Sovereigns are known by the same appe Isiion. as George, or James. or ileery.—tne fourth of the name has, In general, been distinguished by superior qualities. For stance, Henry IV. of France was one of the ablest, and cer tainly the most popular Prince that ever sat upon that throne. Henry IV. of England was remarkable for possessing, in the words of flume, ' many qualities which fitted him for his high station.' James IV. of Scotland is described, by our Scottish historians, as hissing been 'the most acesmplished Prince of the age in which he lived, as naturally generous and brave as loving magnificence, and as eager to obtain fame.'" " And." added Sir John, emphatically, " is not this en exact descs.p tion of his descendant, George IV. of England, Scotland, and Ireland ?—(Cheers.) Is not he the most ac:omplished Prince of the age in which he lives, naturally brave and generous, loving magnificence (as becomes the Monarch of a great em pire), and eager to obtain fame; and has he not already ac quired that fame to which he so anxiously aspired I—(Cheers ) Sir John then alluded particularly to the glorious achi vemects whieti have distinguished the regency and reign of his present Majesty. adding, that "it is under the auspices of such a So vereign that the Sc ds are now called upon to maintain the Scottish character, and to hand down to their posterity the true nett inch spirit inherited from our ancestors. That spirt which It is so desirable to maintain. must greatly depend uoon our preserving those manly and athletic dances—that martial and inspiring species of music—and that elegant and warlike dress, by which Scotland was so long distinguished." In con clusion, Sir John said, "These competitions for dress, fur music, and for dancing, cannot fail to prosper so long as we can assemble within these walls such crowds of Scottish pa triots, and such specimens of Scottish beauty, as have honoured this meeting with their attendance. The prizes were then delivered to the Competitors amidst the plaudits of the audience. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. --...aw-- EDINBURGH RACES, AUG. 1.

The turn out of the Fancy yesterday was gay, stylish, and numerous, and the roads leading to St. Albans, as early as six o'clock in the morning, were Wronged with every deseript , ort of amateurs. At one o'clock Cooper threw his hat into the ring, attended by his seconds, lisrry Holt and a patron of boxing; and Sharp followed soon afterwards, with Josh. Hud son and Peter Crawley. 6t04,7 to 4, and in a few instances 2 to I on Sharp. To detail the rounds would excite little, If any interest. among the amateurs, three months having scarcely elapse.k since Sharp defeated the Gipsey; and upon the whole it was almost a fae-simile of the recent battle. In the 15th round the Gipsey wanted to cut it, pointing to his arm ; and is the 21st he fell on his head, and would nut have appeared at the scratch again, had it nut been for the loud murmurings of the crowd as to its being a cross, and one amateur in particular threatening to horsewhip him out of the ring. lie then plucked up some little spirit, fought 1 more rounds, and had the best of them, when he declined fighting in the 38th round. — Till the 30th round not • drop of claret was seen on either side.
