EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATIONS IN THE AME RICAN WOODS. --ow-- The Ameticanliegister publishes a letter from Bangor, in Maine, dated Sept. 8, giving the following account of life terrific conflagrations raging in the woods in that neighbourhood : " The fires in the woods continue to rage, destroying everything with which they coma in contact. We are told by credible persons, that the whole country from Pas badonkeep to Matnaweeook, on both sides of the Penobs cot river, is one general conflagration—that it appears like • I. sea of fire.'

OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. • Nearly eight years bare now elapsed since the sudden anti unexpected death of the Priucess*Chaslotte spread a: univerial gloom over the land. The readiness with which a _public subscription for a Cenotaph to her memory was eornmenced e and completed, spoke a language that could hot be misunderstood, and testified in.the met honourable manner thsjust . appreciation of her virtues by the makes at' large. The to of designing and executing this Cenotaph a Mr. Matthew C. Wyatt; and from the of that gentleman, and his science both as a sculptor, the highest expectations were raised. tional Monument is now completed, and in our, the very highest expectations that have been &met fully justified. The Cenotaph will shortly the public, but previously to that taking r been favotiged with a view of the work. *en for the erection of the Cenotaph, is ; could have been selected for the purpose. : :zed as the most fit for the reception of this, been the south-west corner of the nave of St,. pel, Windsor.

Between these is a figure supposed to disembodied spirit of the Princess ascending In an attempt to convey smell an idea to the spectator, of course the sculptor lies under disadvantages. The inhabitant of the hir is ' a nature to be correctly represented by appearance of which can never be changed 9 mere shadow or thin air, like colours in painting. `. respect the sister tut has decidedly the advantage. what could be done has been effected. The figure, though richly formed, is at the same time so elegantly moulded, as to deprive tt of much of its tnassy effect, while the expression of the face is so angelic, so full of hope, so marked by anticipations of heavenly joy, as to assist materially in producing the delusion which the artist required. Behind this figure the space is dark and gloomy, offering to the imagination a picture of a being bursting from die shadow of death, and springing upwards to light and happiness. Above the Cenotaph is a light Gothic screen, on which arc emblazoned the arms of the Princess and the Prince of Coburg. This screen is highly gilt, and perhaps on that account might be objectionable, but that it is so small and elegant as to offer but a.very slight contrast to die other portions of the Cenotaph, and certainly nothing sufficient to resider it at all unpleasing to the eye. The windows of this small chapel are all of stained glass, and with the whole of the other parts of the Cenotaph, are the work of Mr. Wyatt. In six of those windows are the figures of that number of the Apostles, and in the fkur de lir surmounting the centre window, iv a cross, surrounded by the halo of the glory ; that is most beautifully executed. The ceiling of the chapel is moulded, painted, and gilt, and the middle moulding contains the cipher of the present King. The two extreme side windows are simply coloured glass, and in the choice of the colours, Mr. Wyatt has exhibited the advantage of blending a knowledge of painting with that Of sculpture, in the most striking manner. The northern window is of a deep purple colour, and the effect produced is of a most. striking and novel kind. The whole of the. figures seem to be enveloped in a kind of unearthly light, that adds a peculiar interest to the scene. The emotions it produced in us on seeing the curtain which concealed the Cenotaph suddenly withdrawn were extremely powerfuL We felt the place was sacred, and we hesitated before we could resolve on breaking into this melancholy sanctuary. It almost seemed that we were disturbing the repose of the dead. About three o'clock on Monday, as Thomas Moore, Esq. of Cashel, was superintending his workmen at his farm at Killinista, not more than 14 mile from that city, and on the New-Inn road, four men, well armed, appeared com ing towards him, which induced Mr. Moore to run hastily towards the house, and as he was entering the door two of them fired at him, but we are happy to say without effect ; he shut out the door, and placed a large table against it, when the assassins brought the workmen to the windows and door of the house, placiag them before themselves, in order that if Mr. Moore fired, he might not injure them. They then demanded his arms, which he resolutely refused to give up but with his life; one of the fellows at the window chanced to get a glimpse at Mr. Moore, and cun ningly placing the pistol under the workman's arm, which he had as a protection, fired at him ; one of the slugs re bounded from the wall, and grazed Mr. Moore under the eye. Their attempt to force the door being ineffectual, they brought out some straw into the yard, and lighted it in order to set fire to the house, but desisted, fearing, it is supposed, they might be detected, it being early and so near the high road. In consequence of Mr. Moore's hasp ing been previously attacked, and having received threaten ing letters, he always carried arms for his protection, winnower he went to his farm, which he holds from Mr. Price. We understand that Mr. Moore would, no doubt, have shot some of his assailants (none of whom were in the least disguised, but were bare-foot), but for their plac ing some of his workmen before them. The party, which consisted of the four already mentioned, and two which guarded the rear of the house, finding further violence , useless, decamped, firing some shots on their way from the place. The police from Cashel and New-Inn (the latter under Mr. O'Meagher, of Marlhill), were shortly at the scene of this daring outrage, and made every exertion to apprehen:l the wretches concerned, but without success. It is strongly suspected that Mr. Moore's workmen knew the persons who attacked their master. Our respected corre spondent says—" This is certainly a most daring outrage, occurring in the day, and within 14 miles of Cashel ;" he adds—" I fear the winter will be very troublesome," a prediction which we fervently hope may not be verified.— Cionmel Adaertiser. FATAL APTRAY.—A correspondent informs us, that a military party wbo on Whit-Monday were engaged in an affray with the country people, in the town of Granard, and who subjected the inhabitants of that town to a priva tion of water, which became the subject of a memorial to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and to the Board of Ordnance, were lately ordered on a still-hunting expedi tion, to the neighbourhood of Ballynamuck, and having set fire to a concern where they had reason to suppose illi cit practices were carried on, three or four of the country people, who imagined that the conflagration was accidentil, hastened to the spot to assist in extinguishing the flames, when the soldiers, probably fearing that some hostile pro ceeding was meditated, fired, by order of their commander, upon the people, of whom they killed one, and wounded another. It was stated by Hans Montgomery, a revenue constable, in his evidence on the inquest held on the body of the deceased, that the number of country people col lected on the occasion (lid not exceed six, and that although some stones were thrown by them, they could not possibly have done any injure, in consequence of the distance that iiitersened. He further stated, that the orders to fire were n either by the commanding officer, or the guager, and hilt the soldiers coutinued, their fire even after they bad been utdered to desist.—Dubtin Morning Register. On Sunday an accident °entered in Whalebone-court Great Bell alley, Coleman-street. The party wall of two houses, one occupied by Mr. Badger, a chimney-sweeper, the ether by Mr. Murray, a shoemaker, at nine in the morning, gave ray:from the fountlation, and chimneys and all fell in, with a tremendous crash, through to the cellars, bricking a great part of the flooring with it., Two of Mr. Badger's apprentices, who were in the cellar, received se veral bruises on their heads, but not dangerously; but the most unfortunate of the sufferers was Mrs. Murray, who is so severely bruised as to be in imminent danger. Several other pencils were slightly injured. a== '1 1 r :‘ :11# --.00.--- PR' Part of a ainipany of Americans and Mexicans, who left • Near Elmo Fe about the lat of June lart‘oreived in Franklin, . l y eight ye ]Hiroshi, on the..Stli of Asinine, with. timely five buralred anti une x pected de mesloa4zal borne.

Not one word has been writ. ten or spoken by apy of this noble and affluent family about the: matter. It was mentioned in our former statement, with respect to Mrs. Webster, that the Duke of Northumberland said the money which had boo presented by Mr. Looms to the family, was all in the hands of the Earl of Beverley, his relative, who, he heel no doubt, would not be unmindful of the obligation in his consider.' anion of Mrs. Webster's case. The Earl, it was also stated, was in France, but he certainly must have seen the account in the news. papers, and might have forwarded, long before this, to England some testimony that he had not forgotten the benefaction which had so.greatly added to his estates. It is now supposed in the city, that if the Duke of Northumberland should persevere in neglecting to notice the complaint of this po or woman , a subscription will be mired to keep her from the pa riah. She has more than once de clared that she will submit without murmuring to the castigation which awaits an impostor, if one sentence she has uttered be found to be incorrect or exaggerated, and she refers to the names of indi rid/mils whom she spoke of as authorities, and who never aunt for. ward to deny one word of her story in evidence of the accuracy of her details. The LORD Matron shows increased reluctance to be applied to any farther on the subject, to it hes become matter of very general conversation throughout the country, and he has expressed his most decided reluctance to give any advice in a case of so delicate a na ture. His Lordship had, In the first instance, advised Mrs. Web ster to write a respectful letter to the Duke. This was done, and might as well not have been done, but his Lordship, in an honour able anxiety to prevent a hasty and erronous impression from be. ing formed of his Grace's conduct, perseveres in stating that there must be some mistake in the bnainess, and that the Duke could not be conscious of any claim, such as had been described, or he would liquidate it without delay or hesitation. Alrs. Webster states, that on the Sunday before last, she saw Doctor APLeod at the Communion table in St. Anne's Church, and was kindly received by him—a proof that that worthy poem knew she was no impostor. She declares that the publiaatioo of that gentleman's name, and of the part he had taken in the trans actions was quite a surprise upon her ; that she regretted the eir cum.tance, as it probably gave pain to the Doctor, but as publicity had been given, she thought it was the duty of the Rev. Gentleman to come forward, if she uttered any thing which was not true in every respect, and as publicly refute the calumny. Mr. Lomas was, she says, born in the county of Derby in the yeas 1714, on the day Ktng George I. made his public entry into London. At a very early period of his life he manifested high in. tellectual-power. At Northampton, where he received a great part of his education, he first became acquainted with Hervey, the author of The Meditations, and their friendship lasted as long as their lives, which were directed in every act by the very spirit of religion. Mr. Lomas was patronised by Mr. William Pitt, of Sherboorne, in Dorsetshire, • near relation of the Earl of Chat ham. lie was obliged to this gentleman for the liberal education he received, his father having been ruined by the failure of the South Sea Bank Company, at the period of desperate and hopeless speculation. In the year 1737 he was introduced by Mr. Pitt to the Earl of Hertford, and appointed by that nobleman to the sole management of his estate. One of the principal delights of the Earl, who had found it necessary to retire to Percy Lodge, in Buckinghamshire, on account of violent attacks of the gout, con. ' shied in the correspondence of Mr. Lcmas and Air. Hervey, who, were equally eloquent and impressive upon the sublime thane on which their thoughts were constantly occupied. The Coon who was acknowledged to be a judicious patroness of literature, the lost intimate friend and companion of the celebrated Mrs. ' Rowe, whose life may be said to have been one constant prayer, end some estimate of the worth of the Countess may be fanned from that fact as well as from the declaration made by Queen Caro-, line, consort of George 11., that she was a pattern of every moral eicellence. The Earl of Hertford, In the Duchy of Somerset, in the year 1747, succeeded his father, who was styled the proud Duke of Somerset, and with whom he had been at variance for some time. He bad but one lon, Lord Beauchamp, who died abroad in his minority. In 1749 the new Duke, who had never ceased to express the utmost respect for and admiration of Mr. Lomas, died, and in 1781 the Dowager Duchess, who had soon. after her husband's decease shown unequivocal proofs of attachment to Dlr. Lomas, consented to be that gentleman's wife. They. ex. rived in town on the 18th of July from Iver, hi Buckinghamshire. The carriage was dismissed in Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, and the Duchess was conveyed in a sedan.chair to the Fleet Prison, I where marriages were solemnized pretty much as they are solem nized at Greta.green. Mr. Lomas walked on before. They lived as happily as it was possible to live, and soon after her death he gave that extraordinary evidence of hie affection for her memory, which he was determined never should be reproached on his as b 7 placing in the hands of the Northumberland family the Duchess a bond fur 60,0001. Amongst Mr. LOMAS'S intimate friends were many of the nobility, amongst whom were the Earl of Tankerrille, Lord Orealston, and Lord Mowery. • • EXTR4ORDINAfir CLAIM ON'THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND. • The unfortunate Mrs. Websierr. to whore grandfather the North. timberland family has been inted for upwards of MAUL sad who has been since the paper aokaowledging the obligation was ao unfairly given up to his Grace. totally nisi lected and abandoned to Parish relief, almost daily haunts the Mansion.Heuse, in the rain expectation that her misfortunes win yet excite 'tome compassion..

A Pocx!T PICITO ix Tut Mitestott-ROcar.—Yesterday a woman. named Bmi:herniae, was brought before the Lord Mayor, at the instance of Mr. Sadler, the pawnbroker, of Binhopagata. street, to account for the possession of a snuff:box, of very high value, which had been stolen in the Justice-room out of a Gentle man's pocket. Mr. Andrew Orierson, a member of the Town Council of Edin burgh, and also one of the Deacons of the Master Tailors' Com pany of that city, stated, that on Friday last he stepped into the Justice-room, front mere curiosity, to see his Lordship, and witness his mode of dispensing justice. He stood amongst the crowd be. low the bar, and just as his Lordship was admonishing a young pickpocket in a very impressive manner on the wickedness of his course of life, and the probable manner in which it would ter. minate, ifs speedy change did not take place, he missed his snuff box, which, it was believed, one of the companions of the prisoner contrived to steal at the moment when every one elle paid profound attention to his Lordship's advice. He had taken a pinch of snuff front the box the minute before he entered the Justice-room, end he had not a doubt as to the time at which he was robbed of it. He was advised to advertise it as lost, and to offers reward for It, as he placed great value upon it, a body of Gentlemen having presented it to him in consequence of some part of his conduct which met with their approval. He followed the advice, and circulated hand bills, offering a reward of three guineas for the recovery of the box. _ _ Mr. Sadler stated, that bad the hex been advertised as stolen he should have had an opportunity of stopping the thief. The - de. fentlant brought the box to his shop and offered it as a pledge t he questioned her as to the manner in which she got possession of it, and she told him that a man who had met he r in the street asked her to do the kindness for him. Witness detained the box, and desired the woman to send the man to him, but no one else ven tured to enter die shop for the box. He had long known the woman as a dealer in clothes. The woman protested that the account she had given was correct in every respeet. When she returned from Mr. Sadier's the man refused to credit her statement. She wished him to return with her, but he decline(' doing so. The LORD MAYOR finding there was no imputation upon the woman's character, discharged her. This was, he said, the second case which had occurred that day, where valuable property had been recovered in consequence of the vigilance of a pawnbroker, and he must take the opportunity of stating, that although he h a d met with see or two exceptionable cases as regcrtled pawnbrokers, their conduct as a body was highly respectable. Mr. Sadler said he was sure that the great body would always maintain that character, and discountenance unworthy members. The conduct of the trade at large had lately been scrutinised in a very high quarter (before the Privy Council), and he had great pleasure in stating that they had been honourably acquitted. Indeed, lie had no doubt they would rise in the estimation of libe ral men, in consequence of the late attacks that had been made upon them. lie was confident that if other trades were brought before the public so often, they would not pass the ordeal better, if so well. It was admitted that Mr-Sadler was entitled to the reward offered for the recovery of the box. 31r. Grierson highly praised his conduct, and offered him the re. ward at the instant. 31r. Sadler requested that the Lord 3layor would bestow it upon any public charity . of - which the funds were not eaten up by a Se cretary and an establishment.

William Marshall, a young man, who stood charged with de frauding an elderly widow, who resides in an alms-honse in Hart. street, Cripplegate, of Ulf. alto underwent • final examination. The widow, Mrs. Medcraft, had, after a very short courtship, obtained his promise to many her, and in order to oblige him with the loan of 20e. drew 501. out of the Sayings Bank, and intrusted the Bank note for that amount to the prisoner. for the purpose of having it changed. All the change, she could obtain from hint, however, was four sovereigns, and after redeeming his silver watch out of pledge, buying. some gold seals, for which he gave about fa., purchasing a new suit of black, and paying a few trifling debts, eke prisoner commenced a course of diasipatien, which ended not till he had spent the whole of the remainder of the widow's money. At length the widow summoned up resolution enough to give him into custody. To the Alderman yesterday the prisoner declared Mrs. M. had platted the 50/. entirely at his service, and that she had participated in all the pleasurable pursuits by which it had been wasted. The father of the prisoner was indulged with a very patient hearing, while he told a very long story of the progress of the courtship, and his repeated efforts to break it off by representing to the widow, the inequality between their ages, and to his son, that the lady had been asked in church only the Sunday before shin had formed the acquaintance with him, her name being given out in conjunction with one John Itl‘Coy. The widow, however, replied, " Yes, I will have William, and he shall be master of my all. I am going to draw Mt. to pay his debts, and then we shall live happy and comfortable." Air. Alderman BIRCH inquired whether the prisoner could offer any security for the re-payment of the money. The prisoner replied he could not, nor would he consent that his watch and seals (which were in the possession of the officer) should be retained until he repaid the widow even five pounds. Mr. Butler (Mr.. Harmer's clerk), who appeared for the widow, then said, " Well, Sir, as you will not behave with common ho. nnty, she shall have the watch now, and I will indemnify the offi cer for delivering it to her. Mr. Hustrunkr's (for the prisoner ).—I must protest against such a course, and such imputations. All the fault is not on one side. Here is an old woman of M.—. Airs. Medcraft. vehemently-7u false, 'ds false! I am no such age t 'Tis false. The Alderman eventually said, he would order the officer to re taio the watch until the prisoner redeemed it with W. but he would discharge him, regretting much, however, that the law would not reach brut. lIATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Eugene Mucarthy was charged with haring turned a poor labouring counrryroan-who lodged in his house out of doors, with hie wife and three children to boot. The lodger complained that the time of quitting would not ex pire till Sunday night, but in the morning the landlord broke open the lock and turned him out of possession. It appeared that the complainant's wife and children were beg. gars on the town ; and the Magistrate, under all the circumstances, discharged the case. The constable and watchmen now preferred a fresh charge against Macarthy, of having assaulted them violently during the remon strance of the lodger. I klacarthy brought up a number of female witnesses to prove that they had seen no assault committed. They then said that the dis turbance created by the constable and watchmen had nearly killed a woman who had been delivered of a child two hours before. The Magistrate ordered Macarthy to find bail. SAVAGE ASSAULT.—John Bludgeon, a ruffianly.looking Irish man, whose name was rather appropriate, was brought up, charged by George Cooper, street-keeper, of St. John's, Clerkenwsll, with the following gross outrage : The street-keeper stated, that in consequence of numerous com plaints made to him by the inhabitants of Turnmill-street, Clerk. enwell, relative to obstructions in the public way by fruitAtalls, he directed the defendant repeatedly on Sunday to remove his stand of fruit, but without effect; when he proceeded to remonstrate with him in a tone of authority, the defendant seized him by the collar, knocked him down, and in that position kept him, while defendant's wife kicked him most brutally in different parts of the body. For. tunately Ballard, a parochial constable, was sent for, and succeeded in rescuing the street-keeper. The defendant made a rapid retreat into an adjoining court, pursued by the officers. When they en. toted his apartments the ruffian seized the atreet-keeper by the collar, and then made an attempt to bite his ear off. The street keeper luckily stooped his head, and the excision was made out of his hat. The hat was produced before the Magistrate, who expressed his astonishment at the possibility of any of the human species making a bite, even in the unrabid state, to such an extent. The com plainant exhibited an appearance of having been seriously In jured. The Magistrate ordered the defendant to give 24 hours' notice of bail. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. filsorix's Acr.—Yesterday James Brody was brought before Mr. Tweronto, by Vann, the officer, on a warrant charging him with cruel treatment towards a sheep, and with refusing to produce his badge when required so to do. Daniel Crockwsll, a beadle of Shoreditch, stated, that about half. past two o'clock on Saturday, he aaw six sheep standin g i n t h e Kingsland-road. panting for breath and greatly fatigued. Shortly afterwards the defendant came out of the White Bear public house, in company with a large black dog, and endeavoured to drive the sheep in one direction, but they seemed inclined to take anoth e r, which witness supposed irritated the drover, for he first struck the dog a violent blow with an ashen stick which he had in his hand, and then struck one of the sheep three blows in the most savage manner on the hind leg, which he disabled, and the poor animal was obliged to limp away on three legs. The treatment was so brutal as to call forth the interference of some respectable inhabit. ants who saw the transaction, and witness asked him to whom the sheep belonged? He replied, "a gentleman." Witness then asked him for his badge? He 'aid he had none about him; but on wit. new producing hie staff the defendant drew from his pocket a badge numbered 322, and said the strop which should have secured it on his arm had been broken. Brady, in his defence, said, that he was driving three sheep, and having three lambs, which he had taken by mistake instead of three other sheep, he was endeavouring to separate them, and did, he admitted, strike one of the sheep, as stated ; but he-afterwards expressed his regret to the o ffi cers for having done so. The Magistrate, having consulted Mr. Martin's Act against cruelty to animals, convicted the defendant in the lowest penalty, 10s. and costs. It appeared that there were two informations against the defend. ant—.one for the cruelty, the other for not wearing the badge ; but the penalty on the latter was remitted, and the defendant, having paid die penalty of 101., - and 52 costs, was discharged. Warrants were yesterday furnished against the parties who propose- fighting a pitched battle this day in Ess and in the event of their persisting, peremptory orders are given for the apprehension of the parties, their backers. &c. This trouble might have been saved, as the thing is at rest. ROBBERY OF A HACENEY COACHMAN.-.-TWO well dressed men hired !parting, a hackney coachman, at Drury lane theatre, on Saturday night, and desired to be driven to the Edgeware road. They took some refreshment at Belcher's, corner of James-street, Covent-garden, on their way, and got change of a sovereign of the coachman, from which he took a three shilling fare. They desired, when in the Edgeware-road, to be driven down a by.strett, where they alighted, knocked the coachman down, anti robbed him of twenty-two shillings anti his watch. An impudent robbery was committed on Saturday night, at the corner of Brydges-street, Covent-garden. A gentle-_, man returning from the west end of the town had just' crossed to Drury-lane theatre, when he was met by five or six fellows, one of whom snatched at his watch, anti at the same moment he received a blow on the head from another,. which knocked him clown. The party immediately separated, carrying with them the gentleman's bat end Itt% watch chain (a curb, with come of the links wanting at one end), and two seals—one with the initials 11. M. S., the other having three thistles on a shi e ld, an d no crest. The watch was saved owing to the defectiie state of the split ring. We learn from Oxford, that on Thursday, when Mr. Mulock and his friends were attacked by the snob, they were so violent in their proceedings that they actually threw Mr. Mulock into the river in St. Thomas's parish, and he certainly would have been drowned ha he not been rescued by Mr. Spier', of Queen-street.
