Raerox TOR THIL USSTITUTC—A General Cruet of the Governors of this valuable Institution was held yes terday at the Male Establishment, Hoxton. The Tree surer, Edward Forster, Esq. took the Chair, and read to a respectable meeting of gentlemen the Report of the Committee, for the last half-year ; from which it appear ed, that they had admitted into the different branches of the Institution, during that period, 54 females and 61 males, and that they had afforded temporary support to a great many persons, discharged from prison and the without receiving them into the Refuge until suit able employment could be procured for them, supplying them afterwanls with clothinr, tools, &c., and enabling them to earn their future subsistence by honest industry. The whole of those who were admitted into the Institu tion were criminals, with the exception of two females, one of whom is the daughter of amen who was executed for forgery 50111 e years since. She has from that time been in the family of a friend of her father, from whose protection, her mother, a woman of ab andoned cha racter, has attempted to seduce her, with the view of plunging her into the same abyss of vice with her self ; and the other is the daughter of a woman who was under sentence of tranarnation, and has since been sent on• of hr country. 'they were too old for admission into the Philanthropic Society's Institution, and had no friends who could shelter them from the dang rs that threatened their safety. While the strictest attention is apilied to the mural and religions instruction of both Sex'% they are constantly employed; the females in washing and household work ; the males as shoemakers, tailors and hoo:shinders. The Committee comp'ain that io the bookbinding dep Aiwa there is a deficiency of employment, and appeal to the Governors and Friends of the Institution for supplies of work. It was also Mt 'tea that mine alterations and repairs are absolutely necessary in both establishments, as well for the proper etas' hymeitt of the persons admitted into them, as fur the suaititeltattee of Clete health and comfort. In the list of New Sobsi•riptions nes a second donation from former lowans of the Female Refuge of 111. 6s. Eus.—The bodies of the two unfortunate persons Joseph Orr, and Robert Orkney, who were lost off Kir. eraig-point, were found on the 150, and have since been decently hut ied in Newburn churchyard. It is now fully ascertained, that William Scott, who bears an ex rellent character, was very little the worse of liquor ai the time the melancholy accident happened. He rowed the hue, by himself, from Elie to &Obi, rry, where he tool in his cum; anions • and bad they only kept their seats, he would-have lan ded them in safety at Cockle inillburn. The one who was the canse of their bring overturned, bad risen up to ask • little tobacco from his •companion. and it was when about to sit down that he amide an unlucky stirrer to theside of the boat. .11ISMARKABIA SAGACITY IN • DOG —ON Monday 'week, as two carte, loaded with flour, were passing through a narrow lane in Falkirk, the driver had, with a colpable negligence too common, lingered behind the ans. At the time a little thild happened to fall right on the road where the carts were about to pass. At the critical 'tormen t. a large dog, who generally accompanies the carts, sprang to the child, and, to the astonishment of several persons looking on, dragged it off the road by the clothes, where, had it remained but a few seconds longer, it must, in all probability, have been crushed to death by the cart wheels. The boos-bold of Hinchcliff, Esq. 25. Park Street, sorough, were yesterday very much agitated and alarm ed by the death of an old trust-worthy man servant, wailer the following very extraordinary circumstances:— lit appeared that early in the morning the maid servant said he were in the kitchen doing the domestic affairs of 'that department; for some reason or other the female .servant had occasion to go up stairs. On her return she was amazed to find the deceased had fled, nor could .she till after a very long and diligent search find hie .retreat: however. a thought struck her, and she went into the cellar. mid there to her surprise saw part of the sisce.aed's apparel lying near the water butt. diver a ter this she could not for a long time discover the watery abode of her fellow servant, till lifting her head up, she shonght she perceived his heels on the top of the water butt, which proved but too true, for he had gone deliber ately, took off his jaeltet, &r. and afterwards raised him self and plunged headlong into the water butt, where the ett.J spark soon lied. Assistance was immediately called, and the unfortunate mss taken oat. A surgeon tame, bat ill hopes of aestosing animation were lost. • stATEsmAki INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. . . Yesterday, the followiog were discharged Thos. Wm. Baker, Joseph Ridley, Jaunts Chipman, neorge Priestly,Charles Campbell, James Tune, Edward Dobson, Samuel Newell, Elisabeth George, Henry Larantore Boor, Wm. Chitty. Judgments.—Stephen Gooding, for fraudulently con tracting a debt under the 18th sec. of this Act. THIS DAY. IN to WM. NARICIII .04 INSOLVINT. The ios,,lvent was norm appeared on the Cause paper, oppo ;ed ; but Mr. Williams, an ironmonger, one of the Insolvent's creditors, stated to the Court that he bail en tered his opposition, and obtained an office copy of the schedule of the Insolvent. The opposition book was produced, but Mr. Williams's name was not mentioned in it. Mr Williams deposed that he told the clerk at the o ffi ce of his intention to oppose the insolvent. It turned out that persons procuring office copies, enter their names in another book, which he thought was all that was regale. ed. He had also written to Mr. Ashton, the Insolvent's attorney, of his intention to oppose. Mr. HEATH contended, that the entry in another book, would not entitle the opposing party to be let in. Upon reference to the printed notices served on cre ditors, it is stated, that any creditor intending to oppose must enter his name in a book, kept fur that purpose. Mr. HEATH again argued that the words" in a book kept for that purpose,' preluded the applicant from pro ceeding. If be were admitted, it wonld break into the excellent regulations laid down by the Court, The hardship was.very great in the Insolvent as be was taken unawares, and was unprovided with proper means of defence. It was also singular that Mr. Wil liams appeated on a subpoena emanating from the In solvent, The Court overruled the ohjeetion raised by the Learn ed Counsel, and in order that the Insolvent might not be taken by surprise, ordered the hearing W stand over un til to-morrow. Joseph Ambler whose care was heard on the 231 Jnne, came up this day for judgment. It appeared that he hail been collecting clerk to a Mr. Edmonds, his opposing creditor, and was receiein; a very liberal salary for his services, notwithstanding which, he had received various sums of money to a very considerable aliment, and ap propriated them to his own use; for this, Mr. Edmonds arrested him rather than subject him to a criminal pro. attention. The Learned Chief Commissioner observed that punish. ment always was sore to follow crime; the Insolvent had no possible excuse for the offence he had committed ; It's situation was respectable, and his prospects bloom ing; but one was lost, the other blasted, and he was brought into this Court to &Dauer for his conduct. The judgment of the Court, therefore, was that he ►e con fined within the walls of the prison 12 mouths. IRELAND. ORANGE LODGES-NEW FORM OF ADMISSION. (PROM TUB DUBLIN MORNING POST.) As we are In the secret of every thing connected with Orangeism, we give the following circular, issued upon the passing of the late Bill. We think we may promise our readers the " new form," when it shall appear. " Dublin, J uly 1823. " Sig AND BROTH2R—The Bill for the prevention of unlawful oaths in Ireland, having now passed into a law, you are requested to make known the mote to the Lodges an your district or vicinity, in order to prevent any of them from inadvertently suljecting themselves to its oper ation and penalties. " It is now illegal to administer an oath to any person becoming a member of a Lodge, or to exact or permit any declaration or test tantamount thereto. _ _ " In a few days the Grand Lodge will forward to the different counties, a new form for the admission of Mem bers, framed in strict compliance with the law of the land, which every Member of the Orange As-ociation is bound to support, and yield obedience to. " I am, Sir and Brother, your obedient Servant." William H. W. Newenham, Esq. High Sheriff of this County, has received a respite, to stay the execution of Dennis Sheehan, Jeremiah Flynn, and T. Leahy, three of the persons who bad been found guilty of attacking, and setting fire to the house of Mr. Hennessy, near Cas. tletowsroche. but were recommended by the Jury to the mercy of the Court, on consideration that they had been forced to assist in the at•ack. The six unfortunate per eons who were sentenced to death at the same time, and for the same offence, will be executed on the 9th of Au gust next.—(Cork Paper.) MATH or ANOTHIIII PHYSICIAN By PSYER.—We feel great regret in announcing the death of Dr. Drew, at the premature age of 21 years. The early indications he had given of professional skill, joined to his studious habits, bade fair to render him a valuable acquisition to his profession, and an honour to his native city—whilst his amiability of manners, and purity of heart, endeared him to his afflicted relatives and friends. Dr. Drew's death was occasioned by a.. violent fever, which he had taken in the first visit he had made in his capacity of Phys . c:an to the Dispensary, to which we noticed his ap pointment a fortnight since ; his death, therefore, Las left a vacancy in the medical department of that valuable I nstiLtion.—(Cork Advertiser.) The Commissioners of Inqdiry are now sitting upon the further reductions and regulations of the Customs of Ireland, which, it is expected, will occupy them a fort night longer; after which they will immediately proceed Ito Investigate the Excise Department. It is expected the Post office will be the next public department they will inquire into. We understand that 14 out Ports are immediately to be reduced, and consolidated with others. —(Deblia Evening Post.)

Extract of a letter front Xerezdele Frontesa, 4th July, 1b23, to a gentleman in Leith We were afraid of being annoyed here (aa happened at Cordova, Seville, and other towns), by the defenders of the Faith, and the mob of the town, previous to the entry of the French troops; but by proper precautions on the part of the Magistrates, and the numerous patroles of the principal inhabitants, tranquillity ass preserved, as well as pillage prevented; and although the main part of the French troops hare gone on towards PortSt.Mary's, and other parts of the coast, we have always a small co lumn here, who keep the people in awe.

Rozina.—The battle between Johnson, the black, and Smith, a nailor from Staffordshire, took place yesterday in Honeyman's Meadows, near Elsetree, Herts, for twenty sovereigns aside. The seconds were R. Ford for Johnson, and Fewtrel for the nailor. • On shaking hands offensive Sperations commenced, and the black was grassed by a right-handed facer, which let the claret loose from the smeller. 2. A manly foetid in favour of the black• who out-scieneed his adversary, and broke his nose in a rally, which lasted A minutes. Both went down in a close. 3. The nailor bred profusely, but he fought very game and placed some telling blows. Each fought tot stand still, end Johnson was thrown. 4. Both went weak to the scratch, piping and heaving et the pompey. After a parley to get wind, the nailor ran in upon his adversary and cross-butiocked ft. A long and manly round, with heavy hitting; but the seperior method of Johnson give him many advantages. Both were twice hit to a stand stbl, and their heads were yroggified, as if Seeger's daffy bad been operating. The pailur woe thrown a heavy fail. 6. This round was a finisher. Both went ding dong to work, and in a rally the black drop, ed his adversary . by a hit under the left lug, which won the cause by a nousnit. The nailur fell as if shot, end was deaf to time. Johnson won, but with severe punishment. 4 second battle was fought for a parse of Al. between White and Paget, regular country goads. Their blows were upon the mowing system, and at limes told. Paget btu a knadcof throwing out his left hand tolerably straight at the head, but he tarred it in the fourth round on the receipt oil a mere tap on the eye. Hq retreated, and asked hie second if he thought he should hue a black eye. He was nit again in the same p ace in thee* yosnd, and be eiciainsed, ••• I'll tight imago , sure my eya is Mack tow." Much mem meat was excited by the combat. THE FUNNY CLUB WAUELL _ . . • Yesterday afternoon the admirers of aquatic spOrts --" were highly gratified in witnessing a rowing match tot a prize what IT. ;riven by the gentlemen composing " The nosy Club." They bad chosen fourteen of the best watermen on the river to contend for the prize, which was rowed for by seven pair of oars, each boat bring • distiogeishird by different colours, viz.—Searlet, Purple, Orange, Light Blue, Green, Pink, and Yellow, Long before the appointed time the river ab lye West minster presented an immense cluster of boars in wing in a'l directions, anxiously looking forward for the candi dates. This being considered one of the finest matches contended for during the season, and the hilarity of the scene being heightened by the fineness of the weather. About four o'clock the competitors having prvlred for starting, they soon after proceeded, by iignal, fro Westminster-bridge, to row round a boat moored off the second windmill beyond Vauxhall, return down the Sur. rey shore, round the beacon on the same shore, below Westminster, and then ihreugh the centre arch of West minster bridge; the three first boats to be entitle I to contend for the grand prize, which was, after a spirited contest, declared in favour of Purple, Orange, and Green ; the fourth boat, Pink, came in at the stern of the victors, and great praise the populace gave them for contending the beat so manfully. Pink was second ol going up, but was fouled in going round the boat off the second windmill, and it came in as before described, leaving the other competitors a considerable distance he. bind. This heat was considered among the amateurs a scientific ore. At haltpast six o'clock the successful esndidates itt the former hear, viz.—Purple, Orange, and Green, pre pared to contest the grand prize, and again start-41 f: :a Westminster Bridge, round a boat moored a latie Ibtlow Battersea-bridge, from thence down the Surrey ...lore to the prize wherry, stationed opposite Cumberlan I Gar dens, which was won, after a masterly contest of ski'l and exertion, by Knowlton and Chandler (Green), amid loud applause. TRIAL AND EXECUTION, AT Bettwoot, OP OR ACE GRIFFIN, POR Tile MURDER OF HER HUSBAND. —O3 Wed nesday se'nnight,Grare Griffin was tried for the wilful and felonious murder of John Griffin, her late husband, on me 27th April lest, by throwing him to the ground, and t'len heating, kicking, and trampling upon him wiM hotii 11'r hait.'s end her feet. The Coroner's inquisition was in svh• stance the soma; but charged the murder to bare been com mitted "traitorously." After evidence had been heir and the Recorder summed up, the Jury retired at 211 minutes before twelve o'clock, and returned iuto Court et half-past one, on Thursday morning, with a verdict ot— Guilty of Murder, but they acquitted the prisoner of vie petit-treason, with which she was charged by the Coronet's Inquest. The Recorder then, in an impressive manner, sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on Saturday.—On Saturday, July 26, the sentence of the law was carrie t into execution. The unhappy woman was brought fro is the Jail about 3 o'clock, in a cart, seated on a chair co vered with black cloth, preceded by a number of consta bles, and followed by the Magistrates and two clergymen io carriages. She was decently dressed in black, :IA seemed much composed, and even prepared to meet her awful fate. On arriving at the place of execntion, she ascended the scaffold (which was erected a little way uit of Berwick, where the roads Pewee) with a firm st-p,, when one of the clergymen offered up a most soled' s and impressive prayer in her behalf.—After which she stood for a few minutes in an attitude of supplication, and then dropt her glove as a signal, when the exevii tioner, who had arrived from Edinburgh on the pre. ed ing evening, instantly launched her into eternity. Edit ing the whole of this mebncholy scene the bells tolled. As an execution bad not taken place in 8-rwick for • very long period, an immense concourse of people were attracted from all quarters of its vicinity to witness the present one, but the greatest order was preserved through out the day by the excellent arrangements that had pre viously been made. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL RIIP IRT.—SifICO the 2.1 of the month, the wind has been in general Westetiv, with almost daily showers, and with few exceptions a mild temperature; in conseqisence, all the crops have in various degrees, been benefittuit. From the drought and cold of last month the grass was exceedingly back ward in growth, and the scythe was withheld, perhaps generally, in the hope of rain and increase of Wk. The rain has fallen propitiously, but with the drawback of unfavourable steadier for haymaking. The quantity, however, if not great, will, in the ultimata, be inavls greater then was expected last month. Take the cowl try generally. and the crop both of wheat, spring corn, and pulse, will be considerable. Much smutted wheat is expected, the n-ture of both the spring and smuttier seasons. The warm rains have promoted the g •th of straw in the crop. The potatoe-plants were, checked, and indeed injured, by the cold winds, but have reco vered, and are in a very flourishing state, where kept clean and aerated, by the hoe. 1 t may prove an also l ent crop, and reduce the price of et h at. Harvest will be three weeks later than last year. News from the hop districts more favourable since the rains. —(Middlesex, July 21). ' At the Fair which yesterday was held at Ashhonrn', in the county of Meath, 000 horses, and a vast number of Black Cattle, were exhibited for sale, some of which came from Newcastle, twenty one miles beyond Lime rick. The prices were generally encouraging to Stock Holders, three year old store liettera being in demand at eight guineas per head, which is an increase of at biiast 10s. on the prices of the preceding Fairs. Ashbource being only ten miles from Dublin, on the great road to Drogheda and Slane ; the Fair, and a Horse Race, toge ther with various other sports, attracted ate imoirti-e number of persons, who passed the day in perfect goal honour, and separated without the smallest accident. We are gratified in being able to state, on the authori ty of a Gentleman. who this morning returned to atter an extensive tour of observation through Leinster and Monster, that, notwithstanding the perhaps unex ampled wetness of the season, lie did not see or learn de tt any kind of corn was lodged. All the crops, thong ti backward, looked healthy.
