All reason hiving, however, hitherto failed to accomplish this desideratum, an attempt has been made to shame them into compliance; and the following cour- teous placard appears upon the •walls of the town : " Re spectable People are requested to keep the right hood side of Me footpath, and Blackguards the left.—(Liverpool Courier.) YARMOUTH, .SEPT. 11.--OR Thursday,the 28th ult., Mr. Schow, the Danish Consul, arrived here from Plymouth, in a chaise and four, upon an especial charge from his Sove reign, to deliver to Captain Manby a gold medal, together with a letter, as an acknowledgment of his exertions in saving the lives of the crews of two Danish shipn reeked vessels. A very injurious report, totally unfounded, having been circulates' in respect to a most unfortunate accident which has befallen Mr. J. Pitblington, jun. a gen demon well known in the Agricultural circles of Norfolk, we have authority to contradict the rumour. Mr. P. has received the contents of a gun in his face and mouth, the shot coming out at his left temple, and being thus deprived of the power of speech, has been unable to explain how the accident occurred, hot that it is an accident no doubt is entertained.—(Nortrich Mercury.) Cusioca Roanzuv--On Friday last, a young woman of the name of Brockwell, about 26 years of age, Who had lived sith a family in Southamptoti-street, Covent Garden, absented hers- lf, and not having been heard of for several days was supposed, from circumstances, to have drowned herself. Yesterday morning early, her hotly was Mind in the Thames near the King's Arms, public-house, Lambeth, and taken to the White Hart. The Undertaker having been sent for, the body was placed in a coffin, but in the course of last night it was stolen away. Thus the grave bas been robbed of its due, by some person or persons unknown ; but it is generally supposed that the act has been done by resurrection men, as on ent.-ring the room this morning the coffin was found to be empty. Tue CHRISTIAN WOMAN.—Sono gentlemen of a Bible 'Association lately calling npoo an obt woman to see if she had a Bible, were severely reproved with a spiritual reply, " Do you think, geetlemon, that I am a Heathen, that you should ask me such a question ?" Then, addressing a little girl, she said, " Run and fetch the Bible out of my drawer, that I may show it to the gentlemen." The gentlemen de clined giving her the trouble, but she insisted on giving them ocular demonstration that she was no Heathen. Ac cor.lingly the Bible was brought, nicely covered; and on oi•.ning it, the out woman exclaimed, " Well, how glad I sus that you have cotac: here are my spectacles, that I have been !oohing for these three years, and did'nt know where to find 'em."—(Ctt &tie Journal ) As David Dairies, of Glynn, near Llangollen, was return ing home from a funeral, on the night of the 13th ult , he was conducted (being consider.blY intoxica , e(l,) within half a mile of his house by a bleed man, who then left him. Not arriving in time several men went to look for him, when, after nearly a fortnight's search, he vas found dead in a small rivulet near the house. An inquest was held on Monday week at the Black Cross Inn, Bromsgrove, before Mr. Hellen, Coroner, on the body of a man named Levi Brown, who was killed on the Satur day night previous in a pugilistic comkat with James Sand ford, when, after a patient investig4tion of all the circum stances.theJury returned a ►erdict of Manslaughter against Sandford, and also against William Kay and Robert Bing, the two seconds, and they were all committed to take their trials at the next Lent Assizes for t h e county. On Saturday night, a man of the name of Grundy, whose residence Is in the Rookery, was drinking till a very late hone, in a public-house. His wife came, and entreated him to go home, an I as she would not go without him, at length he left the ale-bench, but resolved upon revenging himself upon the poor woman, whom lie heat dreadfully all the way home, and afterwards until she was almost dead She was delivered of a still-born child on Monday morn ing, shockingly discoloured by the violent blows of the un reeling husband, and as the woman was pronounced io great daoger, in consequence of his inhumanity, he hai been committed to the House of Correction, to await the result. --(Nottingham Review.) On Friday last, an inquest was taken before Thomas Wright, gent. coroner, on view of the body of Joseph Rig ley, a person in the employ of Messrs. (Jervas Bourn and Co. at the Babbington Colliery, in the pa• ish of Greasley. It appeared that time deceased was a person employed to land the carf of coals at the top of the shaft, and standing on the brig -tree, the usual place, prepared to receive the carf which was near the top, the iron chain by which the carf of coals was raised, suddenly broke, and the broken end thereof recoiling with great force and violence over the machinery, struck the deceased on the top of the head, by which he received a violent and mortal fracture of the skull, which instantly deprived him of life. Verdict, accidental. The unfortunate man was (leaf and dumb. On Monday se'nnight, an Inquisition was taken at FAgeot, Northamptonshire, en view of the body of John Sabin, about 17 years of age, servant in husbandry to Mr. John Gardner, of that parish, who, on the preceding day, was killed by the discharge of a blunderbuss. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Gardner employed a young man named Thomas Sabin, to keep the birds from his corn, and for that purpose gave him a blunderbuss and some charges of powder carefully tied up in separate papers, to tire off occasionally, to frighten them away. That the deceased went with Sabin into the field about three o'clock on Sun day afternoon, where he loaded the blunderbuss with some lead slugs, and shortly afterwards pointed the muzzle to wards himself. saying to his companion. "how easy any body might shoot themselves, either in the head or the body," when the piece accidentally went off, and lodged the whole contents in his body just below the breast bone. Surgical aid was immediately called in, but without effect, and he died about eight o'clock the same evening. The deceased was perfectly sensible nearly the whole time, sod told his muter and the surgeon how the accident happened, which confirmed the statement given in evidence by his companion.

Informations were this day sworn at the Head Office of Police, under the following circumstances:— A Mrs. Charlotte Desmond stated, that she had in her possession on Sunday, the 14th instant, four notes of the Bank of Ireland, of the value of one hundred pounds each, the property of her husband, Mr. Patrick 1./..sinond. She and her husband lived separate, an 1 a Mrs. Se!line, in whose house. in Abbey Street, they had lodged, called on her, and idered to get one of the notes changed for I her, hut she declined giving her the note. A man, named John Browne, then called on Mre. Desmond, and sail, that he could get the four notes changed by a Dutch mer chant who was then in town. Browne also wanted Mrs. Desmond to go back to live at Mrs. Sollins's, but she said that she would not. John Browne, jun . son to the former, afterwards called on Mts. Desmond; there were some gold rings lying on the table, and he took up one of them, and asked her would she give it to him if he would get the notes cashed for her; she said she would, provided his father would not charge any thing fur changing them. lie then told her to call on his father, at No. 64, Dame street; she declined doing so then, but on the same day, (Sunday last,) at live o'clock, she went there, having previously sent word that she was going; she was atrompanied on this occasion by a Mrs. Maria Gogarty, and a Mr. Patrick Kelly.— lohn Browne. jun. met them at the carriage door, and chewed Mrs. Desmond and Mr. Kelly up stairs, where Mr Browne, see. was, Mrs. Gogarty remaining in the carriage. do their going np stairs Mr. Browne, son. ap. geared dissatisfied at Mrs. Deamoid's having brouilit Mr Kelly with her, and inquired who he was: Mrs. D•ottiond said, he was a particular friend of !wt.'s, and Browne said she should not have doubted him, and need not have brought any perion with her. He then showed Mr. Kelly into another recto, and asked her, bad she tl e n 'te a ? she said she had, and then laid iloWn Cuur notes of the Bank of Ireland. of the value of one hundred pounds ends, which were taken np by Browne, jun , who said he would go and get them changed, and would return in ten minutes. Browne, seo. said•that he might take fifteen minutes. Ile then disappeared, taking the notes with him. and since that time Mra. Desmond has seen neither him nor the notes. In consequence of his not returning, Browne, sen. was, after much difficulty. apprehended, un which ticeasion be became very abit-ive, and threatened to charge Mrs. Desmond on the watch. Mrs. Maria Gogarty corroborated the eatement of Mrs. Desmond as far as she was concerned ; and also stated, that Mrs. Desmond lodged in the Caine house with her; that in consequence of her being separate from her husband, she went at her request, accompanied by a Mrs. Gardiner, to Mr. Desmond, to inquire what his intentions were re specting Mrs. Desmond, who was then very ill. Mr. Desmond gave her two pounds two shillings on that oc casion, and told her to employ the best physician, and that he would call and take Mrs. Dimond away. Mrs. Desmond had sent her husband word that she bad the money, and he slept thereon the following Tuesday night; he also visited Mrs. Desmond on Wednesday, and it was in eonseq'r•nce of Mrs. Desmond getting uneasy at his not coining on Thursday, that Gogarty and Mrs. Gardiner called on Mrs. Desmond. Mrs. Sallins afterwards called on Mrs. Desmond. and stron4ly urged her not to give op the money or go hack to her husband; she said to Mrs. Demand, "don't believe a word the rascal says; so sure as you will give him the four hundred pounds he'll leave you thrown on the world." Mrs. Gogarty also stated, that when she remained in the carriage at No. 00, Dame-street, and when Mrs. Desmond end Mr. Kelly had gone up stairs to Mr. Browne, she saw John Browne, jao. come out of the house, and go quickly down Dame-street ; this was in about a quarter of an hour after Mrs. Desmond hid gone up stairs. Mrs. Go garty was then invited up stairs, and Mr. John Browne, sen. who was there, said that he had got the notes. They remained there twill twelve o'clock that night, during which time John Browne, jun. did not return. Mrs. Gogarty then suspecting a dishonest intention, locked the hall-door to prevent the escape of John Browne, son. Ile then attempted to get out by tne shop, and abused them, and said that he would deny having got the money. He was ultimately taken into custody by the _ Mr. Pat. Desmond, Mr. Pat. Kelly. and Mr. John Pander, lodged informations corroborative of tne above. Mr. John Browne, sen. and Mrs. Saltine have been com mitted to Newgate. . _ The four notes missing are numbered, 1410, 1441, 1442, and 1443. They are all dotted lhh of tugust, ItitS, are of the Bank of Ireland, and are of the value of one hundred pounds eael. The Argo, P. Tine, from Amsterdam, arrived at Cowes yesterday with 3DO foreign passengers as settlers, bound to Rio Janeiro. _ On Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, a most de structive fire broke out in a very large stack of wheat, in a field belonging to Mr. Blagg, at the Red Lodge, on the Foss road, betwixt Bingham and Newark, which burnt with unabating fury until eleven o'clock at night, by which time the whole, containing, by estimation, *hoot one hundred and twenty quarters of corn, resembled an immensely large red furnace, or pile of glowing fire. This melancholy accident is attributable to the earelessiseet (we hope ',via no other comet.) of a woman, a gleaner, who had placed a basket, with her pipe, which she had been smoking, with glowing rrobers therein, near the same stack. This woman had been repeatedly warned by Mr. !Pegg, and even threatened with a severe castigation, for panning this dangerons practice, near such combustible materials as dry corn to the straw ; for these admonitions and threats, she returned a torrent of abuse. We are sorry to say, the whole was de stroyed. From seven to nine o'clock, the flames, as seen from the bills near Bingham, a distance of three or four miles, illuminated the whole north-eastern hemisphere, for such was the bearing from that place, and, at intervals, seemed to approach the zenith. _..::,~: .

Sir Francis Burdett has accepted the ollice of Steward fur the next year. A wager was lately ma le at a public-house in Manchester between a calenderer and two other persons ; the terms were that the calenderinan, having two yenta start allowed him, should run a hundred yards with a wheelbarrow, sosner than the other parties, without any such ineutobrance ; the i calenderee i stipuleting that he slionlil choose the grotto and that the others should not touch him during the raee. They went out forthwith to decide the wager, and the calenderer chose a narrow passage in Chorlton Row, which afforded the requisite length, and wan throughout so narrow, that the wheelbarrow completely filled it up. Here he trotted leisurely behind his vehicle, much more to the amuse. mein of the bystanders than of his antagonists, and won the wager without difficulty. A Roax.—On the 2.1 instant, as Mr. Joseph Lee, a respect able plumber and glazier, was at work on the premises of Mr. L. Hell, of Bramcote, having observed s number of partridges running across the field, he immediately set some engines, which he made out of his horse's tail, that was standing by, to capture some of the game, when a game-keeper, who was otti the look out, observiiki • man, whose appearance indicated that he had caught a prize, immediately took him before Win. Charlton, Esq. one of the County Magistrates; and, lo! when he came to be examined, he produced a certificate, and also a legal qualification, which not only astonished the keeper, bet surprised the Magistrate; who not being satisfied with the identity and qualifications of 11r. Lee, who referred it to a far ther hearing on Saturday last, before the bench of Magistrates at the County Ilad, when his qualification underwent a strict sc why ; and to the disappointment of the informer. the r• plaint was dismis.ed, and Mr. Lee was admitted to he duly qualified. ODD CIRCUMSTANCE.—Saturday night Site landlord of the Ben Jenson, Shoe-lace, heard a noise in Mt cellar, which he attributed to the entrance of thieves. lie armed himself ac cordingly with a broad sword foe his protection, determined to capture the robbers, or fail in the Attempt, having previously placed a friend in the street to prevent their escape. He then proceeded cautiously to the cellar with a dim light, and heart a hissing noise, and on gently opening the door lie perceived something white, as if it were a thief in his shirt; he rushed forward undismayed, hut out levelling a Wow at the object, it ,disappeared ! He next searched the cellar, and actually foam! two butts of porter were gone! This certainly Arras pas,i 'sr strange ; but on searching further, he discovered that th-y lied actually sunk into en old well, the covering of which had given way.

ISloteithstanding i h es teellence of the mnsic of this piece, we ars free to con fess that we are heartily tired of it, from the endless repeti kin it undergoes; and neither the attraction of Madame Visayan in white pantaloons. nor the novelty of a new hay, eau compensate ass for the tediousness of the repeti tion of this thousand-times told tale. The stage amend seas have quite spoilt it as a Drama ; and, performed as )liras last night, It degraded to the rank of a minor Thea tre spectacle. We hare seen it far better played at the Surrey. w hen ELLISTOM was the Macheath, although his voice sets n o te at Inch bold dellaoce.

Though past the age of Othello, and Ages, sine* he evinces a disposition to r e ma in on the st age, we think the winter Theatres might Oust advantageous room for him. The differeaces between Brandon and the Covent li n d en L es sees, has, as may he seen in the following para graph, been militated. We are sorry that it ever existed ; and congratulate both parties on their recovery of their Sehll•S.

Yesterday morning the above gentleman left London for theltenhain. Since the accident at White Conduit lions., tbe balloon has been thoroughly repaired and beautified, and has undergone the inspection of many scientific persons. He is sow engaged to assend from Cheltenham, and other places. Monday is the day appointed for the ascent at Viteltenham and by the promising asseranee that has been made for the supply of gas, Mr. Graham feels confident of success. The balloon was packed in a strong cloth, and its size anti weight rendered it rather a novel article to be placed en the top of i roach. The car with its various appendages wereslang behind, ut the sight of which several persons wade inquiries for what purpose it was intended, and then the bustle commenced for a sight of the intrepid aeronaut. The coach, however, started from the Inn in Oxford•street Which put nn end to their curiosity. An experiment is intended to be made for the inflation of balloons, by means of a hand engine worked by due man, and which is now Oiled for filling balloons with common sir. The engine is composed of a wooden wheel, which is tamed hy's handle, and round sack wheel a common line is drawn, communicating to another of a smaller size, which the line also turns with great rapidity; a wheel of a much larger dimension, bat inclosed in a tin ease, arts in con junction with the smaller one ; the larger wheel having four tin flaps reaching to every extremity of the case, is worked round with great rapidity by the before mentioned handle, and causes a great concussion of air, out of a vent for the purpose, a hole being made in the side of the tin case for the air to draw.
