He is represented as in the act of giving judgment, and the likeness is admirable. On Friday last our worthy Member, Si► JOHN (BEERS COTTERELL, Bart. took possession of his newly-erected and depot mansion, on. which occa sion he entertained the Judge. •ad a large p.rty with a sumptuous banquet, consisting of every de licacy which the season could produce, together with the choicest wines and fruits. Their Lordships greatly admired the mtructure, and the proportions tint, elegance of the handsome suit of rooms. Ou Saturday morning they viewed the gardeum, pleasure grounds, and many of the fine. extensive, and beau tiful prospects with which the situation abounds; they afterwards quitted the hospitable mansion, highly gratified with the attentions of its worthy possessor, and returned to this city on their road to Monmouth.—(Hereford Journal.) Two fine otters were taken in Keekle, near Dub hall, Cuniberlatirl, on Saturday last, by Sir W. Lawson's dogs, and afforded fine spurt to a num ber of Gentlemen present.

The coachman is not expected to live; the horses died within an hour and a half after the accident. raw Quiz". It is sot.true. as stated in Tlis TIMIS ior reeler.; day, that the Qom has taken Grafton-house, in Piccadilly, for a town residence. The Doke of Grafton was applied to on the subject, bat the pre pesitions made were not consistent with his views. Her Majesty will positively take posmosios, as we have stated, of the house of Lady Francis, which is neat door to the mansion of Lord Castlereagh, in St. James's-square. The house is lent to her Ma jesty gratuitously by Lady Francis. and is to be held only as a temporary dwelling during the ap proaching proceedings in Parliament. Workmen were yesterday busily engaged in preparing the house for her Majesty's reception. The direct line from St..lames's-stiotore to the Parliament House is down Pall ! niall, Cockopur-street, Charing-cross, Whitehall, and Parli3ment-street. All the inha bitants of houses in this line are anziouwly solicited for seats at their windows by their friends on Thurs day neat, amid large sums have been offered by strangers for acconpuodlition. _ ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. Yesterday evening a very monstrous sad respectable meet ing of the parishioners of St. Leonard's, Shoreditek, took pine in Sboreditch dottrels, for the purpose of considering tbe propriety of addressing the Queen. Mr. JENNINGS took the Chair at half-past five o'clock. Mr. Saco said, it moist be gratifying to all friends of liberty to see such numbers assembled together is vindication of the Queen of those realms. Against the Queer a series of old insults had been accumulated by 'bon who were par. Ocularly booed to respect every branch of the Royal Fa. lie concluded with moving a series of Resolutions expressive of the congratulations of the meeting upon her Majesty's arrival in this country—of their conviction of her Majesty's Muoceoce—and their approbation of the conduct of Alderman Moot in flying to her Majesty's relief. The Rev. Mr. Pleuct rose to second the Reloolotiess. He said there bad bees numerous meetings at the church spun great public occasions, but not one upon so {moonset a subject as that which brought them together is the present insist:ice. hirelings bad there taken place against the undue influence of the Crown, and against the desperate tratiosc• Lions at Manchester; but those were of trivial importance compared with the prosecution of her Majesty, sad the meeting proved that they were not reluctant to come forward even in a church to utter their sentiments upon an momen tous an occasion. Mr. BLACKBURN agreed in the propriety of the present Resolutions.—(llear, hear.)—He thought that even every family should petition against the persecution of the Queen. After a lung conversation the Resolutions were agreed to. The paragraph in our Paper of yesterday, stating that her MAJESTY had written a letter to the KING, is correct. The letter was delivered to his MA JESTY at the Cottage near Windsor, early on Wednesday morning. Eli. MAJESTY'S messenger arrived with an answer at Brsndenburgh-house about four o'clock of the same afternoon. The QUEEN'S messenger was immediately dispatched to Lord LIVERPOOL, and returned to Brandetiburgh house from his Lordship at ten o'clock at eight. We have good authority for contradicting a pa ragraph which appeared in several papers, that her Majesty the QUEEN was present at the review at Hounslow on Friday last. Perhaps it may be right to mention, that, when the QUEEN was proceeding to Brandetiburgh.houre en the morning of that day, her MAJESTY'S carriage and that of the Duke of YORK passed each other near Kensington-gate. )Jr. Sheriff PARKINS went to the Quack's resi dence at Bra eidriiburgh-honar, onWedneidsy, in or der to ascertain when her MAJCIITY would receive the County Address. Lady HAMILTON, on being made acquainted with the object of his tisk, doubted whether her MAJESTY would feel herself able to receive him on account of the recent death of the Duchess. The Sheriff, therefore, sent in a note to her MAJESTY; to which the QUEEN returned a very gracious message by Lady ll•mivrox, ex. pressing her regret that she could not then see the Sheriff; and stating that she would, at the earliest possible period alter the interment of the Ducliesi of Volts, appoint a day for receiving the Address from the county of 'Middlesex. Olt Tuesday afternoon a communication was made from the Secretary of State's Office to the Police Magistrates, requesting that none of them should be absent from town en the 17th instant. This is as it should be, for it appears as if Govern. oleo wished to place its dependence for the main tenance of the public peace in the civil force of the country. HENRY HANDLEY, E.g. (only sun of BELLA.. MIN HANDLEY, Esq. of Slesford), is returned Member of Parliament for the borough of Heytes bury. Wilts, vice Colonel A'Coua•r r who is about to proctord on an embassy to Naples. HIGHWAY HOBBERY.—Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, as Mr. Higginbotham, of No. 11, Sydney-row, C,arn berwelhroad, was returniug home from his beat fit club, he was accosted within a few paces of his own dour, by a tall mats, dresses! in hlack, who politely asked what the precise bete of the night was. Mr. H. drew his watch out to 'lackey the inquiry, hut as he held it up to the lamp, be "emitted a sudden blow order the ear, which knocked him down, and as the same instant his watch was .suatched. He gate rot immediate alarm, and got up as sows as be could, bat his sable iute►rogalor was gone. A letter from Bangor, North Wales, dated the sth inst., states the following dreadful accident : " A most meloticludy misfortune occurred here this morning; a ferry boat, from Anglerea, containing twenty-two perst,nis, with their commodities for the minket, upset a little above the town (I mean to. wards Bangor), and all perished, save one matt, who cacti ped by clinging to the side of the boat." A shocking accident occurred lately, near the Printfield, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, where a yoking man, going with an empty cart to load ~,,, had taken seven children into hiss cart to gra. iffy them with a howl. By some mismanagement, as it is said. the bridle came out of the horse's mouth. wheal finding himself thus disengaged, he set off at a gallop; one gial succeeded in throw. ing herself out un the road, with very little injury, but the cart soon after overturning. the sole and wheels separated. when the body of the cart was dragged some distance with the children under it, until it was stopped on coming on the ruins of an old building. Ott raisittg up the cart to make the 'read discovery of the fate of the children, it was found that five of them were variously cot and bruised, two of them, boys. in such a shocking manner as to leave little hope of their recovery. They were conveyed to the hospital, whore one of them had an erns amputated at the shoulder, and there are some hopes he may recover; but the other, who is dreadfully mutilated about the head, re. mains in a doubtful situation. .. : • nerarass. • • NATMASICItf.

She will mike an excel lent singer after a little more experience. Mr. Confect& displayed his usual richness of national humour in the Irishman, and the piece was al together as warmly received as if it had betas new, instead of being, as it is, of very old stand ing. Perhaps it is the most unique and per fect of all pieces belonging to its humble class. The house was not only very fully, but very fashionably atteutled. Some of the new scenery is also entitled to praise and attention. The harvest scene used in Rosana seems to be of superior execu tion. A new comedy is announced for Saturday., So that the short season to which the monopoly of the winter houses confines the Managers will still be occupied, as is usual with them, in the most buoy preparations of interest and novelty. We need not wish the theatre success—such spirit and assiduity will command it. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. The Vampire attracted a crowded and elegant audience last night: indeed we have seldom wit. nessed a more brilliant display. The finished style in which it was brought out on Wednesday left little room for improvement. The repetition of last night presented it in a perfect state. It went off with Mut, and promises us long a run as the season will admit. EDINBURGH THEATRE. Mr. KZAN. on Saturday night, took his farewell benefit here before ■ crowded audience. previous to his departure fur America, which fit►i.lted his en gagement of twelve nights. The character of Junius Brutes was the one chosen fur the occasion, which afforded a fine display of Mr. KeAts's great powers of acting. On the fall of the curtain Mr. KEAN was loudly called for amidst the most rap. turous applause ; when a short interval having elapsed, he appeared, and feelingly expressed his gratefulness for the approbation he had received, and his wish, on a re-appearance, to be worthy of a continuance of it: l►e then botublg and affectionately took his leave.—Monday night Miss S. BOOTH and Mr. Minor?. from Covent-garden, made their first appearance here this season, in the comedy of The Belles' Stratagem. Miss BOOTH possesses. in • very high degree, the sprightliness and gaiety which belong to the line or character she performs. Her voice, in the dialogue, is one of the sweetest we have heard, and she sings and dances charm ingly. Atmore played Boriconrt, in his usual style of excellence. On Tuesday Miss BOOTH appeared in the co. medy of As Yon Like It, and was very interesting as Rosalind. In the afterpirce of the Innkeeper's Daughter, she performid the character of Mary with great feeling. Last night site afforded us so much pleasure and amusement as Peggy. in the Country Girl, and Lady Contest, in the Wedding Day, that we hope the manager will indulge. us with a repetition of them.—( hdiebargh Courant.) The new Birmingham Theatre is finished, End is • most elrgant and beautiful edifice. It is built on the site of the old theatre. upon an improved plan, from the designs of SAMUEL MUTELY, Esq.

On Wednesday morning the detachment of the 13th, which coo sisied of two companies, left this for Stirling, and was immediately succeeded by a company of the let rifle brigade. which remains. —(Greenock Ad vertiser.) The Cargoes of two or three of the oyster smacks which have arrived at Billingsgate since Saturday last, have been discharged into the Thames, by or der of the inspecting officers, as not fit fur the market. Large quantities of pilchards were seen on Wed needs), evening off Falmouth. One of the drift boats was on the point of securing • number of them, when ►he was ran foul of by a vessel going up Channel. by which five of her nets were carried away. With one that was left, the crew took about 400 fine fi.h. Shoals of pilchards have also op peered in Mount's Bay, but as yet they have not approached sufficiently near the shore for the seams. The herring fishery commenced in the early part of last week. in the Moray Frith and adjacent coast ; and althrugh not altogether so productive hitherto as at the commencement of last season. yet on the whole promises favourably, particularly at Fraverburgh, where the boats have of late been generally very successful.—( Aberdeen Chronicle.) A boxing match for 100 p. will take place this morning, in the vicinity of Cobham, between Strong. a Gloucestershire man of provincial fame, who lately beat Pine, the fatuous gipsy, and Malpas, a Warwickshire giant, of more than six feet. who has beat all opposed to him.

Crp 4 Last evening Mr. Mudge commenced at Mitchell's assitonbly.vonus, Portsmouth -street, Li n coln's [oil field,. his series of explanatory di,oertations on the plans of Mr. Owen, of New Lanark. for bettering the state of the labouring classes, and fur ameliorating the condition of society at large. He proposes to examine in a cantos of four Lecture, the probable moults of that Gentleman's plan, if carried into effect, and to answer such objections as had been hitherto urged against it. The present lecture was iii the nature of an intro ductory exposition of the causes of the existing dis tress in tins country, which the lecturer traced to circurnstaisces interwoven in the frame of all politi cal societies hitherto in existence, and 'tot resulting from forms or maladministration of the powers of their governments. He was assisted iu developing Mr. Ogren's ideas by a ground plan of one of that Gentleman's villages of co-operation and unity, cal culated to contain a pauper population of .1,300 'remiss. The room in which the lecture was given is spacious, and well lighted and ventilated. It has been observed. that though Mr. Owen seems perfectly assured of the truth of his principles.' yet from whatever cause tt may arise. he has not as yet succeeded in impressing the public generally with the same opinion. The scheme of lectures proposed by Mr. Mudie seems, at all events, well calculated to give the public that thorough knowledge of the subject which the acknowledged importance of it so well deser res. IRELAND. GUMMI, AUGUST 7. Saturday afternoon Lord Cloubrock, Sir George Hill, M.P. Master Ellie, M.P. Mr. Ver.ey Fitz gerald, &c. arrived at Sir John Rogersou'a quay, by the Talbot steam packet, from Holyhead. Sunday afternoon Lord Wealth', Capt. Croker, R.N. and ether persons of di.tinction, arrived by the Ivanhoe .team packet from Holyhead. Friday General Fitzgerald and Alm Fitzgerald arrived in Limerick, from kroner, and proceeded for his rear, Carrigoran, county Clare. Arrived at Swinbtarn's Hotel, Limerick—Mr. Mahon and Lady Charlotte Mahon, ou their return to Betaborough, county Tipperary, from a visit to the Hon. Major-General Armesley, at his seat near Cork. Lady O'Donel, whale death we lately an nounced, enjoyed • jointure of 9,000/. per annum, which reverts to her eldest son, Sir Neal O'Do nel, Bart.. and the life use of the principal part of her comiderable personal property is vested in her other sun, Connell O'Donel, E.q. of Sea mount. The Swiftsnre packet, with ■ mail from New York and Halifax, has arrived at Falmouth, she sailed from Halifax 22d ult. Advice' from Buenos Ayres to the Ist of Jane have been received, but nothing material had occurred in that city since the previous accounts, which were dated the Bth .Mov: Don RAMOS MEXIA continued to exercise the functions of Go ve►nor, and Don MANUEI, OnLIGADo that of Pre sident of the •Junta. The communication with Chili was again open, and a free intercourse was ouce more established between the two Govern ments. The dates from Valparaiso were the 24th of April. The expedition against Peru, under Lord COCHRANE and General SAN MARTIN, Wall nearly ready to sail for its destination. Seventy sail of transports were collected, and SAN MAR TIN'S regiment of horse grenadiers, with a consi derable body of infantry. forming the advanced guard of the army. were on the eve of embarking; the rest of the troops were on the march fur Vul paraiso. An embargo was laid on all shipping in the harbour till the sailing of the expedition. It wise certain that SAN MARTIN was in a stale of communication with BOLIVAR, and the first opera tion would probably be an attack on Guyaquil by the combined troops of Venezuela and Chili. The brig Williams lied returned to Valparaiso from a survey of the land said to have been discovered lo the south of Cape Horn ; but Captain SEARLE. of the Hyperion, had prevented all intercourse with the shore, which led to the opinion that some dis covery of great itn!sortance had been made. Letters have been received from Lima, dated 27th March. They were conveyed across the isthi. mils of Panama, and owing to the distance and the uncertainty of navigation in the lower part of the Pacific, the above date may he deemed very re cent. The capture of Valdivia by Lord COCH RANE was known in the capital of Peru on the 16th of the same month, and the loss had been regretted by those emigrants only from the south of Chili, having property in that quarter, the tenure of so distant a point having hitherto been extremely ex pensive in the Viceregal Government. Accounts had also been received there, that the O'Higgins, the Chili Admiral's flag-ship, had struck on the Quiriquine. in Talcahuano Bay, by which accident she lad been so much injured, as to make from 50 to 60 inches of water per hour. With► the greatest diffi culty she had been got up to Valdivia, subsequent ly to the capture, uud shipwrights had been ordered from Valparaiso to endeavour to repair her, which was deemed almost impracticable. owing to the want of convenience, us well as the general state of the ship. —The greatest tranquillity and confidence prevailed in the whole of the Viceroyalty. Accounts from the ROyalist army in Upper Peru bad been received, slat lug, that the war was at a staud in that quarter, the troops opposed to them being chiefly withdrawn, or in a state of complete insubordination. . .
