A few days afterwards be showed the fa ther a letter, /11. iii to have come from a rich uncle in !Wetland, who, he stated to be worth 30,000/. and to whom he W• 11 heir; this letter said that his uncle would disown Trim if he married any one who was not a Roman Catholic. to is bieli persuasion the officer said he belong ed ; the father made no objection to the proposition, and all 'mutts were settled.—The officer sent off to this ci'y f•r the license, %%Ilia be got, purporting to be signed by Doctor Tooliv, the R.

THE STATESMAN MOST RIIMARKABIA CASH or raw MARL AND COUNTSSS or PORTSAIOCTIL (FROM TIM ZDINOURON COURANT.) Sta—. Seeing • paragraph is; your paper of Saturday last, respecting the Earl of Portsmouth, affecting to im press the public with a belief that his Lordship's sodden departure from his family originated in some cruelty and indignity practised upon this arable Peer. for which there is not the smallest foundation, the public are re quested to suspend their opinion on this es parte para. 'nigh, which has been traced to bare originated with the solicitors of the Hoo. Newton Fellowes, his Lord ship's brother and presumptive heir, who bas been the secret instrument of taking his Lordship away', fbr pur poses easily to be guessed at. SOOO after the Earl of Portsmouth's marriage with his present Countess, this Mr. Fellowes attempted to procure a commission of lunacy against his Noble brother, with a view, ultimately, of setting aside the marriage, lie be ing next in succession to the Earl's honours and estates, and dreading the consequence of his brother's union 'with so young a lady; but in this he was, to his rest mortification, unsuccessful; and the Earl has ever since that time (now between eight and nine years) resided with his lady, but during that time every obstacle Las been thrown in the way of their comfort, and which in nolved much litigation in the English Court of Chan ' wry. It was, however, a few months ago, in order to 1 1 pat an end to all further disputes, agreed to leave all limiters in difference to the arbitration of • gentleman Oldie Chancery bar, of the name of Skirrow. and this Weference has been prdceeding up to the very moment of Lord Portsmouth s sudden departure from Edinhorgli, on Tuesday. the 2d instant. • Lord and Lady Porte. mouth have for many months been residing in this city. Her Ladyship being in delicate health, and is a state of pregnancy, had put herself under the entire ma nagement of Dr. James Hamilton, jun., whose skill as a physician and accoucheor is as well known as his cha racter for honour and integrity is proverbial, but who had been assailed with scurrilous anonymous letters that Lady Portsmouth had come to Edinburgh to smug gle a chill. His Lordship had never left his Lady, my sister, Lady Portsmouth, daring the many months they resided in Edinburgh, and uniformly evinced the most conjugal attention and affectionate solicitude for her, anti seldom quitted her room except to take a walk or an siring, and pay a morning visit at Mrs. Norton's at Ahheyhill. a relation of his first lady. Oa Tuesday morning, the 2cl instant, his Lordship breakfasted with his Countess, and left her shoat one o'clock in perfect good humour, to take his walk, telling his Lady he should soon return to her, and take an Indy dinner at three o'clock. He was soon after seen going along Prince's-street ; and on passing the Royal Motel, Mr. Fletcher Norton, a son of Mrs. Norton. rushed out of the hotel, and joined his Lordship, and after a short conversation, prevailed upon Lord Ports mouth to get into Mrs. Vorton's coach, which was waiting for the purpose near the Register-office, and drove off on the road to Haddington. They were soon afterwards followed by Mr. Norton's chariot with post horses, and a person in it of the name of Coombe, who had assumed the name of Colonel Cooke, and concurred in the plot, and which overtook Mrs. Norton's coach a few miles beyond Iladaington, when they all got into Mr. Norton's chariot, and drove of with the utmost speed, travelling day and night towards London, and proceeded to, and arrived at, Lord Orantley's house, in Surrey, on the Thursday following in the afternoon, thus travelling near 440 miles in 51 hours. His Lord ship had nets change of apparel of any description, nor had made the smallest preparation for such a journey. "%pc were punned to that place, where Mr. Shirrew '-‘4l , the party ;but all access to Lord Portsmouth kv that gentlepaiser; whit passirrattliewaida is unnecessary to repeat. Tlsi publi . c trill draw their • was conclusions on the probability of this extraordinary !light being the spontaneous act of Lord Portsmouth, and en the motives which actneteil the promoters of it. I feel it, however, inctusbent upon me, to assure the public that I am in pesiessiOn of evidence to prove that 6lr. N. Fellowes was privy and accessory to the whole plot, which was eoaceived and formed shortly after Lady Portsmouth's pregnancy was made known to him. I request you will insert this in your paper. Your obedient humble servant, NEWTON HANSON. . Edinburgh, 32, Great King-street, July 30. MART-LI•DONE OPFICI.-?4rciterday the Rev. . , r 1 .1011. Smith, of Garden House, Nentish-towc, appeared before the Sitting Magistrate, E. Griffith, Esq. to prefer scout plaint against a middle aged genteel woman named• Flowers, fur using insulting expresaiots towards him. The complainant stated, that about nine o'clock on. Tueedayevenioz, as be was passing along Oxford - the woman called after him saying there goes a Bi shop, and made use of other vile expressions. He pro ceeded without nothing her for about 20 yards, bat finding she continued her abase, he became fearful of some personal violence. and gave her in charge to the watchman, The Worthy Magistrate severely cansurei her on the Impropriety of her conduct fur abusing any person who happeced to be a Clergyman, and asked if she was a married women; when, replying in the affirmative, he instantly ordered Iser to find bail The parties bad not left the office long, when the Rev. Gentleman returned and informed the Magistrate, that in consequence of her husband begging very hard for his forgiveness, he had consented to en apology. The female was then brought before the Magistrate again, who informed her that the gentleman had most humanely consented to what she very unjustly . d. The woman then begged his pardon and retired. Maststom Eforsa.—llobt. Kidd, a private of the :)(1 regiment of foot guards, stated that he bad been re ferred to the Lord Mayor to prefer a charge ag►inst a ni4ht constable, named Davis, of Aldgate watch-hooss. Ihe complainant said he was passing by the tlinorirs the preceding evening, when two women met him, one of whom raised a cry after him, Complainant ber until she took a refuge in a shop, when she abused him very mach, using very unbecoming lan guage. The constable, Davison living desired to take charge of the woman refused to do so, alleging that she had not committed an assault, or any act by abich he was authorised to detain hsr. The constable, in answer to the charge, said the wo man stated she bad been familiarly treated by the sol dier when she was listening to a ballad singer, and tts.it she only desired him to go away. The Luau Matron said the conatable was guilty of a dereliction of duty to not securing the offender, and that he ought not to have assumed the office of a Judge its Imagining no offence had been committed. Is was well known that these soldiers had conducted them selves with great propriety, and that they bad frequently been grossly treated by persons in the streets. It was the duty of the constables to protect them from injeries of this nature; and in future he expected tire constable would conduct himself so as not to hays a charge of the present nature brought against hint. FROO#ESS OF 11,11WESr. We learn from Domfries, that thongh the weather had been for several days tic I and cloudy. y.t very little rata had fallen; and dating this week a great numbest of shearers had offered their a-rvices, a part of whom were tired at from Is. 34. to Is. 6.1 a day. Most of them are allowed milk, bat no victuals.— Several fields hare been cut, and many more are ripe; bet the ha rrrrr has not pt become general. Is the cause of oowrie also the work of the sickle began on Tuesday, and on Monday a field of pease was cat down on , Mr. Pringles farm at Mains of A berdalgie. The Wheat crop la this county, is very fine, far be rind an average, one. The greater part of it is caved in very pod order.—(West Briton) From the hest information which we can collect, there appears to have been no injury of the Iran mo ment sustained by the growing crops from the rains which base bees partial. On the other hand, the good that has been don. to the late crops of corn, and to the potatoes, early as well as late, is incalculable Siaould the weather continue but moderately favoura. ble.oflrhicb there is now every prospect. the harvest of this year will be lb. most abundant within the me awry of man.—(Brinol Mercury.) • Oa Wednesday the 3lst Judy harvest commenced in 'tbenottetboarhond bf Pettll with a field cf barley on Mr. Dickson's farm of the Hatton. The weather last week (except on Friday, when there were some partial showers) was hiOly favour able to the harvest, which enabled our farmers, gen•• rally, to get up the whole of their wheat, in very prime condition; and so much so, that in many in -stances it sue taken 'from the field to the barns' floors for immediate threshing. A finer crop wrs never known; a. d it might perhaps puzzle the reesiJectitio of the oldestagriculturist in existence, to vita out a year that produced It. equal.—(Sveser Advertiser.) COUNTRY FAIRS AN,' MARKETS. At &mastic fair, on .Mond last, lambs met with a ready sale, at tolerable prices, lint sheep sold low, and were but little le demand.—(Wesr Briton.) A pig ten weeks old was sold in Usk Monthly Market on Monday se'onightfor sixpence, and a penny was given hack for lac::. The purchaser was Mr. Moon, of the George Inn, where the pig is now to be seen in full health. It has been viewed by many gentlemen, who, astonished, considered it as thi' ;.; reatest proof of the distress that the country is labouring ender.—( Bristol Mercury ) A very fine milking-cow was sold in the same market fee4ss., which a few years ago, would have fetched 111. Fine fat cows, worth, ten years ago. 241. and 251. were sold for 71. and Si. Fat pigs 12 to 1 llb. per quarter, fit for Bristol porkers, were sold for Ss. each. Sheep were offered equally low, but found no purchasers. We cannot offer more convi ncingi proofs of the flourishing state of the country.—(lbid. ) At Shepton Mallet Fair, on Thursday, there was a larger supply of cattle than has been known for many years past, which sold at very advanced prices. 'there were a greater number of sheep penned at Si.l Ann's Hill Fair, near Devizes, on Tuesday last, than for I several pears past: and though but few sales were effect ed in the early part of the day, yet towards noon the de mand increased - , and nearly the whole were sold at some hat higher prices than at the late fairs.--One lot of , prime lambs fetched as high as Ws. each, bnt the gene.

'Same horned cattle were exhibited, but most of them were driven away unsold. About two hundred shearers appeared at the Cross, Glasgow, on Monday, upwards of one half of whom were hired. Wages ran from IL Gd. to is. yd. without victuals. Tuesday morning between two awl three hundred came forward. Only two bands, of about thirty each, were hired. (Inc band went to the neighbourhood of Partick, and the other towards Catulachie. Wages were Is. 6d. One man who had °sly a small piece to cot, took away six men and gave them Is. Bd. for the day. WATERFORD BUTTER MARKET.-111 our last ITe noticed the snspension in which the butter Trade was involved by the refusal of beamage. Os Saturday the Weighmaster issued notice that he would weigh with Or without beamage, thus leaving the buyer and seller to adjust matters between themselves. Inconsequence. 203 firkins were weighed, all as we understand, with beamage. Prices for best neighbouring Butter 77 to 79E—(Crate-I:ford Mirror, lirg. 12 ) Mackerel have lately been sold at Teignmoutb for sixpence per hundred. An alarm of fire was spread in this city in the fore noon of Friday last, said to have taken place at Rus sell and Co.'s waggon-office. It proved, however, to he an evplosion of a chest, belonging to the meuagere of the Exeter theatre, which contained combustible preparations for making what is termed " Greek fire," &c. and was about to be conveyed to Wry moetb. It is (originate the accident did not oi.csir during the journey, (which, 'from the motion of the waigoo, is not improbable) as it mould then have been attended with more serious consequences.— (Exeter Paper.) DRRADFCL A C:DINT —GLASGOW, AVG. 11.—Last night, about I I P.M. the Hercules steam host be longing to Glasgow, on her way (ota Greenock to Cambleton, when off Greenock, unfortunately Cattle in contact with, and run down, a boat or wherry filled with poor people from the Highlands, on their way to tug southe's districts to labium- during the harvest.— Hot of 45 persons on board the boat, only five escapist a watery grave, and one of these, a woman, wa, taken up in each an exhausted state, that she is since dead. One of the four unfortunate survivors, a man, has to mourn the lose of his wife, two el.:ligh ters, anti a son, by this fatal catastrophe. The steam Wet had out light*, and also a proper watch, who re- "peatedly bailed the wherry ; but owing to some fatal inadvertence, or probably from not understanding English, the unfortunate boat continued her course , till escape was Impassible. PUOILISX. In the Green hares, near Hares. in Middlesex. fltie'eell miles front Condon, between the Sprig of Ilf s yrt ld (frown) and the tirely hid (Stockman) tor 2.) su varigns aide; and also betneen Harty Greco and Small.—Six soveteigns to fire. . Yesterday, at the appointed time fee peeling, the Sprig of Mertle was not to be found, and i bet, were altered that he did not make his appearamee at all ; not front leer, but owing to some mistake respecting the in formiltion.as to the bit of turf. After some delay Tail occurred on the look out for the Sprig, it wsenletertioned that the tabor cores ghoul I commence the anittretneet of the day ; when Small and Greets, both reudv tugged in white uppers, *tiered in the ring, and threw up their sob coverers with great confidence. Bak, and f;:leeif Cooper seconded Breen; and Paddington Joomanield Dick Hall for Small. Contrary to expectation this battle proved a tery spirited one ma both sides; Small in most of the rounds (twenty-three) took the Ind, and Kith his left hand dealt ont heavy pepper on Green's nob; Use latter not only proved himself &prime man, but he admi nistered sense severe punirhmeat to hie opponent. Small possessed the most s , lenee; and that feature won bias the battle in 24 minuses. I; eeee and *Wall had scarcely quitted the ring, when a post chaise appeared In sight, which contained Josh. Hudson and Brown. The eight of the Sprig made ail the amateurs alive again : and Brown was received with load clapping of Lands. He jumped out of the vehicle. and ran towards the ring, and in his eagerness to shy Iris costar, it went right over the ropes. He had a blue bird's ere tied loosely round his squeeze, and a collar so high, that, to use the expression of au old sporting man. it was big enough to make a white waistcoat; in fact, he was a swell milling core in duodecimo I The I icily liid and the Sprig shook notulege together, and immedtately prepared for combat. Bales and Torn Jones handled the hid; and Spring and Josh. Hudson were for Brown. The latter hero tied his bit of bine to the stakes; and Stockman, with smiling confidence, covered it with the yellorrmaa, ala Belcher. The odds had been in some f , w instances a few days previous to the battle 2 to I on Brown ; but 6 and 5 to 4 was the current betting at the commencement of the battle. I. On stripping. Stockman, if any tiring, appeired the biggest chap of the two. After a abort pause, ma. pied in viewing of each others altitudes, Stuckwat:en fiearonred to plant a hit. but Brown got away. _Brown also stopped a blow well. A short pause. Stockman rushed in. and a struggle took place at the ropes. u heu both went down. 2. Siihr : Brown's nose was a little tinged with claret: straggling again, till both down. 3, This was also a scrambling pally-hasty round, ar no execution done: It was nothing like fighting. 4. The Sprig acted entirely on therlefenstre, and got away. The Lively Kid was too much in a hurry to plant any heavy blows, and always finished the round by rushing in and endeavouring to have the best of the hogging. On Brown's struggling to obtain the throw, Josh. Hudson roared out with the voice of a Stentor,— " 31y Spriggy, what are you crier; fight, fight, why don't yon will instead of hying to throw your Min!" 5-6. Nothing. 7. Briton 'hewed the value of expe rience, and in going down with his opponent, planted good .hit. S. Of no recount. 9. This was a well fought round. The Lively Kid met with a stopper to hi' rash on the nub, bat he returned well to the scratch, and a good ea chanze of blows occurred, in which Stockntan received a severe rut over one of his ogles, that produred the cla• rel. Both down. The if - Mari:24er b0 . t.4 loadly shouted, thinking it looked a little like wi n ning-0 to 4 on Brost n. 10. 11. Short. but no pees attest *we maids. 12. The Sprig male play, and, in his eagerness to hi', slipped down; but he instantly got up, and fought tiil both measured their lengths on the grass. 13. Brown tit Stockman, who slipped down, but he jumped up again, and was for renewing the b►ttle ; however, the seconds of Bro.an considered it a round, awl Brown sat down on Hudson's knee. . 14. The Sprig went down from a slight hit on his knees, and the Lively Kid ran in to make the most of it; but he threw op his hands, amidst loud ayplausa from all parts of the ring. 15. Both of the combatants did not appear in • hurry to go to stork. In a struggle Stockman was thrown. It. Fibbing each other at the ropes, till they finished the round by going down. 17. Some blows passed, when Brown hit his opponent slightly- off his balance, and endeavoured to plant a hit, but he threw np his hands. Foul, fair, &c. as it lotted the different partisans. IS. and last. Some fighting in this round, anti in a severe struggle fur the throw, Stockman having put hi: finger into Brown's mouth, be challenged the latter wi:h biting him, as lie was falling down, loud cries of" Fuel, foul"—" Fair, fair."—A wrangle ensued ; Brown's um pire (a stranger it seems and his first appearance in that haracter), left the ring, and said he hid 10.. t it. Nil • ther Stoclon.da's Umpire nor the Referee saw the tic eunistanee alluded to. The ring was broken, when Elan threw np Lis ha', and took the Lively Kid out of the ropes as the winning man. This event produced a prime Babel-row! and se veral expressions rather isisparliameatary escaped from the lips of the betters towards each other as to winning; bath sides claiming it. Spring and Josh. Hudson and Brown remained in the ring, contending if it was not fad for a man to put his finger into another's mouth, it was an unmanly trick; but they wo•tisi lizbt the battle our, and called upon the Lively Kid again to shove him self in the ring. This Storkinan refused to do; w:ters Brown and his seconds left the ground, obierving, they should insist upon having the hauls-money. The right hand of Stockman it was said was guise: and the KM he complained of was but a very slight sufech. The amateurs separated quite out of humour *his each other; and the merits of the dispute in question, it seems, is to be chaffed in the highest court of the Fade!' before the stakes are given up.. , -tdandall, Oliver, IVA, Lennei, Abhot, the silicon, Champion, and Painter from No.- nitth were witnessing the above battles. Sunday morning,. between the hours of four an taus o'clock, as Mr. Roberts, night constable of Redd If parish, Bristol, was going down the lane at the bac!: of Somereet.sqoare, be perceived a man endeavouring; to conceal hiroseif in an a►h pit under the wall : on examining him he found biro to be an o!d offender, bu. wht'e in the act of inestioning to tu, Mr. Cut!. string, who re-ides in the square, looked over the wall and exclaimed, „ 'That ie the fel.ow that has been into my reline, and left his shots behind hiov."—lt ap. pared that the man had opened • a small door which led to the cellar, let himself down feet forerens•, and taken off his shoes in order to proceed op stairs ; but very tortunately a female servant belongiag to Mr. Fysun saw him descend the re.llar, and with great Are s-nee of mind went to Mr. Couistring's and rang the bell; which on the fe;low11 hearing be immediately ascended, armed with a b oken shovel, and threivened to murder the girl if she attempted to step bins or then jumped the wall, and in so doing liisike hie leg near the anclr—lle was taken to the Ilfi!tnary. i ,~ 1 :`,~ ;
