Yesterday William Partridne was brought before the sitting Mergkerate, charged lo Mary Cavanagh with stabbing her in the arm with a case knife. The Complainant stated, that she went that morning. at lire o'clock, together with another woman, named Mary Kirk, to a public-house in St. lansere.- street, Covent Garden, and there • geared arose between Mary Kirk and a auldh r who Wes sitting iu the room; At interfered to prevent Mary Kok bring ill-used, when • WO is • leather...prim, who called himself a eonstable, laid hold of her, and the Prisoner, who had before interfered on the part of the soldier, stahbed her in the arm wills the broken blade of • ease knife. I . Bhr here attempted to exhibit her arm, which appeared coy. red with blood.] The Magistrate was desirous of hermitic hew the knife kart been broken, bet of that she could give no account. The Prisoner, who appeared like a decent mechanic, said the account she bad given was entirely Take, bet left it to the people of the house, who were witnesses, to state the true ei root -piaster. The baukeener of the pubik.houst wan called. He stated flat otter, the two women came into the room bcfore the bar, a readier who was quartered in the house, and who was n particularly quiet civil man was silting there eating his berekfaet, Hoy assailed hinisorith agree' deal of vulgar abuse, and called him " Bishop," far. The Prisoner at tbr bar, who was l.kcwise sitting there, get up and said it was very im proper ; the other woman kicked at him, and was about to strike him with • quart pot, when the Complainant anslcht .l up the knife with which the soldier bad bees setting, aud which was a little hint, and ran at him pushing it against his ribs, when the knife broke, as it now appeared. AoStlier men laid hold of Mary Kirk, and prevented her using the lqoart pot. N 6 watchman being at band, • pomp nwn who was about the house assisted to turn them out. The witness eenhl not tell bow the cut came on her arm, but he posi tively denied its being dune by the Poisoner at the bar. The soldier was called, who corroborated every little of Ihr evid. nee given by the last witness. It appeared upon examination of the woman by 'larvae, that it was not at all dangerous. 'fire Magistrate dismissed the complaint with a severe re. prism red to the woman for the evident diategard of truth whielk she had displayed. A warrant was tubseqeently issued against the woman at the instance of the parties of whom Mary Ca t magi' had complained. 1 17/lltelll brews was charged by Patrick hPlieratot, riener to Sir Jobs Lilley, at (Wham, with hall*, stu!en a 'mistily of grapes out of ha, master's sordeo, between the boors of one and two in the morning of last Tuesday.

They paid no regent to his summons, but attempted to escape, on which he ..napped the pistol, which flashed in the pan.

The Prisoner attempted to establish an esNbi, but failed. The Magistrate convicted him under the late Vagrant Act, 3d George IV. chap. 4 ; and ventereed him to one ler nlh's confinement in the House of Correction, and to be kept to bard labour. Darid Barnes and James Barnet, charged on anspleion or a burglary in the house of Mr. Alexander Reed, of Flask. Lane, Polak°, were brought up by Lark, the °Seer. It ii ppearril the robbery was committed on the night of the 14th August last. The thieves had got in rat the back of the house by means of • center bit, with which they had drilled three holes in the kitchen door (that led into the gardea)auf. Social, large to admit a persen's band, and by that means they had withdrawn the bolts of the door. They had from the kitchen got into the Wore and stuleu several portable articles, cunsisliog of Di leer sponsor, snuCerrostand,silver snuff box, t a caddy, Ste.

The property was traced in the poser origin of the Prisoners, and sworn to by Mr. Reed. Both the Pri soner, were fully committed fur trial. G. L. Greek was charged by Elizabeth Larasdee with hair. tog obtained a quantity of wearing apparel, and 21. 12s. in money, under false prricuees.

The Prisoner, it seemed, trusted to have evaded any punishment, by stating that the bills were only copies, the originals hemp in the hands of Messrs. Coatis and Co., sod the old oronsu, with a stretch of credulity almost beyond cooceptioa, let him have the chitties and money which he wanted. It will be recollected by our readers, that the Prisoner, some tittle sincr,ggurert as a principal 'keens *taunt • man armed Hartley, who was iciest mud convicted at Maidstone, for • burglary, and was also suspected to be concerned in the murder of Mrs. Dona'''. Mr. Taylor now attended, and stated to the klngistratet, that the Prisoner war rout iii his set eret ; hut he bad called on him • short time since and stated he was just going down to Maidstone (sekHartley was to be transported), to get in formation from him shout the murder. Mr. Taylor gave him • crown, but the Prisoner had not been to Maidstone at all slice. The Prisoner, who •ppeared inclined to moot points of law with the Magistrate, entiteadcd that it was no false pre. fence on which he had gut the things. He had promised to pay "Ads the bills were due, and they were out )et at ma tardy. The Magistrate ordered him to be remanded. Nary Ada*, a pretty, demi-looking young woman, ap parently not more that 17 years of age, was charged by en aged female, named Abet.. Fisher, with rubbing her. The old lady stated, that in the mouth of June, last year, she was reluraing home to Chelsea, where she then lived, •heu she passed the Prisouer, who was satin at a door fur shelor from the rain. She followed bcr, and asked I. ave to lake the bevel' of the sowheella which else carried. She said, as she went along, that she was a servant out of place.

Earl Speueer came into the oftire about one o'clock, bat the business on which he came did not transpire, as Sir R. Baguio reared with his Lordship to his private room, Jr' TERFORP AGRICULTURAL REPORT, EXTENDING THROUGH THE COUNTIES OF WA+RR FORD, Tiprea•av, KILKENNY, •ND WEXFORD. AUGUST. During' the greater part of this month farmers were very ho i dy tniph•yed in reaping and riving the h t, which, with very trivial exceptions, may he considered accomplish ed. Ia general, the harvest seems to be past dancer, and the mnwirc lad saving of hay is completed. Although, in the concladirg part of last month, and at the commence meta of this, many feared a continuance of rata, smiler to that of the preceding harvest all such ideas have now vanished, and, met of the lod;ged fields having risen with the high winds, it is found that no serious injury has Ikea sustained. Nutwithatsnfling some of the WHEAT is very inferior, and rnor2 but niiil , lline, still so much is of very peime quality, that we may Compute the entire a good average crop. 'flue OAT clop is considered Shin, and short of straw, and is ;con - ally nomplained of, owing to a kind of blast or rust w , , L rlu particularly affected it adjacent to the sea or to rivers. 11 , ,0 ever, we may expect it to be fully adequate to the de. !nand.' BARLVE is considered very limited in supply; however, h I fermi rs not be deceived, as they certainly will be, if, by k. , eping it from the markets, they expect a higher price for thts tootrnodity, owing to its scarcity. A very abort supply, in addiiiuu to the brewers' old stock on hands, will be found nivre than sufficient for beverage; nod, even admitting that there one no Barley in question, brewers could dispense with, it, and enmity proeure a substitute fur it, namely, Wheat, or grain, which would prove as cheap, or cheaper, and a nutd produce as good essence as Barley. Eves from the pods of Pres, sad otorsistainy Sage, without say grain, might, if there were occasion, be formed good sad excellent beverage. Nny, it appears' that the Dines, when they in. Wilted lrrlaad, produced excellent beer from the beads railed Female, which g. ucrally grows open rocky sioudtkin. ono grounds, and we ■ o detstaud that the liquor which sorb heath products is still ■osietimes used to feed and aourish young calves. Bang, PEAL. RAPE, and RTE, are tolerably good crops. FLAX, in sonic places, is very thin and short ; however, it may be contidered a good ge crop. CLarin sod A►renaßAss are is a flourishing costilition. Pasture grounds are still producing a large *apply of Grass. Paragon are more improved by the late rains than any other description. From hint, and from the appearance of the stalks, the produce will most probably be abundant, be. ynttd any precedent which our island affords. if the entire of the groin crops were exterminated, it seems likely that the Potatoes alone would be fully adequate to the sopped of the inhabitants of Ireland, during the next twelve mcieths. That, as we have same recent accounts from England, Mat ing that the prosiest year's produce will be 'ethereal for two year's supply, ass may now say that Ireland w equally, per. hips more, ',reductive; for we could spare two parts oat of three. TIN rrfore we have reason to conclude drat there is every prospect of haviug the necessaries of life, during die coming year, as moderate here as the oldest inhebitant can "dolled; nay, cheapness may go below that limit. The rain thee, in general, appears to have dune more service than hart. The natural dryness and rockiness of am Irish soil, as has been remsiked by Mr. Young, require a greater •proportioa of moisture slum the deeper, heavier, and more humid clays of England. " The circemstasee ' " says be, ‘• which strikes me a• the greatest singularity of Irekted, is the rockiness of the soul. Stone is so general, that I have reason to lieve the whole island is one vast rock of dif ferent strata and heeds, rising out of the sea." Another late author slaw, that the injuries which rain occasions to the culture of corn, are more i filtrable than is generally imagined. Little, he think*, is lost by what is called lodgiug from rain ; and, as to saving, a few dry days arc all that is requisite, except perhaps in such seasons as the hot, when rain prevaeed so generally all over Ireland with out intermission fur fuer or live days In a most critical time, just when the Wheat crop was ripe, some of it reaped, mots in "braves and iu stooks, and most of it exposed in different ways to the itieleMeney of the coestsot rain, which cirrum. atauce was the chief cause of the injury complained of last harvest ; bat this arasou one day was rainy sod the next day dry, which seldom or never proves hurtful to the grain. Our author infers, that the Irish have sufficient reason to sbew that fears respecting their culture acorn are in a great mea sure groundless. He adds , that the I proportion of which falls In Ireland during the earlier months, will be found sot silly useful, but in some measure necessary to its sgricalt•re. Although the heavy rains of July lodged the rank Wheat, and some of it was broken down, yet in come. queue. of the fine weather which preceded the wet, this sup posed Jujuy was prevented, as Wheat comes to maturity in a lodged state nearly as anon as standing upright, and is cer tainly is less danger of being shed by the high winds. He enocledes, that " the inhabitants of our islsnd have little or nothing with which they can reproach Nature; that oar situation, soil, production and climate, afford the amplest scope for the exertion and , employment of the industrious; and that, if it be true that the Irish are deficient in either, the causes are to be sought fur, not in natural disadvantages, which do nut exist, but in some political defects which should be s xuaisied, developed, and corrected."—( ford Mirrer.) WORTHING, Swum BE R 2. We have to record the following melancholy cir• cuinstsoce which occurred here late on Saturday evening last, or about one o'clock in the morning of yesterday. Three young men, the principal waiters at the Steyne lintel, Sea Howe Hotel, and New Inn, of the names of Alez. Duff, Thomas Lindsey, and Daniel Miles, who had been spend ing a little time together after the business of the day, tempted by the brilliant and beautiful moon light night, ►hey imprudently got into a very small and unsafe boat, lying on the beach, and pushed off witii the intention of making a little ex. et:stint'. Yesterday morning their respective friends were under very considerable alarm for their safety, it having been ascertained that they had nut return ed, and that there was the strongest reasons for sup• poling, as the boat had not drifted ashore, that she had been suddenly swamped and sunk. Sailing boats were employed all the day in various direc tions, under the expectation of meeting with the bodies of the unfortunate men, but hitherto their efforts have been fruitless ; and from the prevalence of the south-west wind, it is supposed they will drift iu the direction of Beachy Head.

" ' A luilicroos scene took place. As one of the itinerant showmen was passing through Lung lane to Smithfield, the axle tree of his caravan broke, mid discharged its cargo into the street. Several muskies were instantly seen runumg to different directions, out of which took refuge in a cook's shop, to the us small discomfiture of the master-cook and his hintry guests. Pup, without wailing to examise the bill of fare, placed himself by a dish of ready-sliced plum-pud ding, and, sans sermonic, helped himself, sad all remon strance on the part of the cook could not persuade him to re liaquish his delicious repast, until his master, by force of arms, dislodged him from the !panelist banquet. This Fair was granted is the reign of Henry 11. to Oho Priory of St. Bartholomew for three days; to which itio clothiers of England and Snipers of London repaired, and had their booths in the chnreliard of the Priory closed in with walls and gates, locked every night, and watched. Smithfield was originally called Rallies's Hall, being thy rendezvous of reitSaos and quarrellers, when swords and buckles were used; and was a place for bonoorahle exer cises and jousts, au that loose serving-men cummualy met there. _ _ _ The Fair was at length prolonged to a fortnight, and be. came of little other uae than for idle and loose people to re. *On to, and spend their mosey in debauchery and drunken. ores. In 1708 the filagi.trates reduced the Fair to titres days, according to which it 1111.3 first granted. A cause was tried ill the Conn of King's Bench, before Justice Ryder, upon an action brought by Mr. Richard Holland, • leatberseller in Newpiastreet, against the collection of the toll during the Fair; a verdict was given in favour of Mr. Holland, in fifteen issues, with COIN of suit, by winch determination all citizens of I..Ondou are exempt from paying 1011. The Priory of St. Bartholo mew was founded iu 1102, by one Ralsere, who was Jester to Henry the First; Rabere quilling his profligate life, be came the first Ps ior of his own foundation. Legend relates that be bad • most horrible dream, out of which be was re. lirved by SI. Bartholomew himself, who directed him to found the house, and to dedicate at to him. . _ . .

His Grace set out on Thursday ea a 'visit to his near and very esteemed relative. the Hon. and Very Rev. Richard Ponsonby, the Dean of St. Patrick's, at the parsonage of Coolock, where the Nuble Duke remained some hours; and in the afternoon returned to town with the Dean, when both thrse personages dined with his Eicelleney the Lord Lieu tenant. Filch) , his Grace left Dublin for !Uralic, in the county of KilkeWny, the seat of Richard Power, Esq. where he will sojourn for n day, and then pur sue his way to his own splendid mansion, Listnore Castle. His Grace is accompanied by his sgrnt, the Hon. Mr. Abercromby ; the Dean of St. Patrick's is to leave town, on a visit to his Grace, in a few days. The primary object of the Duke in coming to this country is to improve as far as a landlord eau, the condition of his tetiantr). ; and to this end, he expressly stipulated with his frien d , the Dean of St. Patrick's, before leaving Dublin, upon having the benefit of his benevolent recommendations. Lismore Castle will be the scene of uninter rupted festivities during the sojourn of the Duke of Devonshire in Ireland. The Earl and Countess of Clengall, Earl of Belfast, Lord Falkland, and Sr A. Chichester, have arrived in town. We cong►atulate the country nn the rrrovcry of the Right Hon.

An Act was passed in the last Session of Parliament to amend the Licenses Act, as far as regards wage coaches ; ■od, according to this Act (3d Gco. IV. cap. OS), all stage coaches must have plates like the hackney coaches. This amended Act provides " that the owners or pro prietors of ally carriage or vehicle, carrying passeegers for hire at separate and distlect fares, after Auguat 31, without baring a license, or without having plate or Oahe affixed on each door, or otherwise, will be liable and stsbject to ■ penalty of twenty pounds for every day such car riage or vehicle shall be so used, over sod above the duties payable in respect thereof." And a notice has been seat to each proprietor of each stage coach, or caravan, from the Sump-office, ' 4 that the penalties imposed by this and the I Acts of Parliament relating to stage coaches will be strictly refereed against the proprietor or propel?. tors of all carriages and vehicles carrying passengers for hire al separate and distinct fares, that may Ire discovered run_ nine without licenses or plates, or runtireg a greater number of jouraeya, or a greater number of miles, or to other places than are specified is such licenses,"&e. Every stage coach on Mon day appeared with a plate on the doors, having a number uu It. Heretofore the numbers were first made under the foul• board, where nobody could see them; and It was no extra ordinary occurrence for a coach-proprietor to run two coaches at least to one somber. some went without any number at all. Besides, they would, as fares offered. ge to places not named in their Ii , or run more jour neys or miles than were specified in them. Thus the revenue was injured must extensively, and there was un mese' of detecting ofictulers, without mammon' trouble and expcure. Such is the diabolical spirit that attends the con cerns of Messrs. SASIVEL and THOMAS AINSIIY, bankrupts, that on Monday (yesterday) morning, the day fixed for the sale of their stock at NisMori, nearly twenty rams were (amid to have their tails cut otT, with a view, no doubt, of depreciating the value of them.—(Besios Gazelle.) A very dreadful accident happened on board the Fortiiade Excise cotter, Captain CARR, on Sunday last. At half-past eleven o'clock, as the cutter, which was moored at Gravesend, alongside the Flamer gun-brig, was Bring the salute while the Royal squadron was passing, RoDIVKLI., the ca►- penter of the Fortitude, who was assisting at one of the guns, suffered terribly in consequence of his anxiety to do his duty. The guns having been fired more than once, and the salutes coming thick upon each the poor fellow forgot to use the sponge, and ON 111111111111 down a cartridge, an explosion took place, by which his right arm was so dreadfully shattered as to render immediate amputation neces sary. The operation was performed by Dr. Itoeitas of Gravesend. It is also apprehended that the un fernsoste sufferer trill lose the s►ght of both eyes. r THE COM MISSION. On Saturday the Commission of Oyer and Ter miner, or General Gaol Delivery, for the City and County of Dublin, was opened wit h the usual cere monies by Lord Norbury, Mr. Justice . Burton, and the Lord Mayor, locum Icucus (Alderman Cash). ARRESTS FOR HIGH TREASON. After some routine business had been gone through, Mr. Hamilton addressed the Court, and said he appeared on behalf of six persons who, as they stated in their petition, were arrested iii Dublin for high treason on the 25th June, and kept in the head police office until sth July, when they were committed to Kilmainham gaol, where they have since remained in close confinement, and they prayed the Court would order them to be brought to trial during the present Commission. Lord Norbury—Your application is not for the purpose of obtaining au immediate discharge ? Mr. Hamilton—The present application is founded upon the 6th section of the Habeas Corpus Act, which provides, that if doting the next As sizes or Commission of Oyer and Terminer, after the prisoners have been committed for high trcasrn, they should not be brought to trial (haviug made an application for that purpose on the first or opt n ing day of the Commission or Assize.), they 'lull be discharged on giving bad. I therefore make the present application as a preceding matter, that the prisoners may be entitled to apply for their dis charge on the last day of the Commission, if they should not before that time he brought to trial. Lord Norbury—Have you served notice on the Attorney-General ? Mr. Hamilton— My Lord, we shall do so if your Lordship orders i►. Mr. Sealy Townsend (who appeared on the part of the Crown)—My Lord, the Crown Solicitor is in Court, and that is quite sufficient. The following are the names of the petitioners: Michael Keenan, Mit !WI Carr, NVtl an irl Redmond, John Conway, Michael Quit)°, William Mason. ARRESTS AT ARMAGH. Mr. Hamilton then made • similar application (salt a like result) oil behalf of fourteen persons. who, as tbeir petition stated, where arrested for high treason in Arin.igh, on the• 13th June, and brought up to Dahlia, from whence, on the 6th of July, they were transmitted to Kiluraisihaat, where tiny now temai• close prisoners. Their n•mcs are— Thomas Byrne, Joh. Rite, Bernard Dougls. Peter Reilly, Renry Coogan, James WPGrogan. Dellis Hamilton, Edward Clafferty, Peter Rourke.

Unlnrui nately no other person was then in the house but Mr. Eastwood, who upon hearing her scream run down stairs with all the speed hie very feeble state permitted, when he beheld (shocking spectacle !) his affectionate child enveloped in flame ! By an extraordinary effort he opened the hall door and admitted a woman, who, upon the alarm, had knocked at it, and who to extinguish the flame in stantly wrapped I►er cloak and arms about Miss Eastwood, who in pain and terror rushed into the street, where the fire was extinguished—but alas ! not until the destructive element had Wien fatal effect upon its lamented victim, who, xotugitlistcntd lag every tried new of relief, lauguishe•d in great agony until Monday last, when duals terminated her sufferiogs. It is a sorrowful addition to this fatal incident that Mrs. Eastwood, upon f ining to London about a fortnight previous, bad parted with her daughter in perfect health, from whetter she r e . turned ou Monday last, about two limns after the premature death of this most dutiful and loving child.
