NAmscADR, NOVEIMILA I. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge sod the Princes Augusta arrived at Dover on Tuesday morning front Sittingbourn, intending to embark immediately at that port for Calais, but as the bar at the mouth of the harbour prevented any vessel from going out or in, these august personages were detained there till yesterday afternoon, when they resolved to p►oceed to Ramsgate (from which harbour embarkation can be effected at all hours), which they reached a little before six in the evening, in two *livening carriages and four, the Duke being aded by Major Stevenson and her Royal Highness by Miss Wysiyard; they drove to the Albion Hotel, where preparations had been made for their reception. The Dasher steam packet, appointed to convey their Royal highnesses to the Continent, had arrived in the harbour about five o'clock. As soon as the arrival of these illustrious per sonages was known to the Magistrates, one of them (Sir Thomas Grey) had an interview with Major Stevenson, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness, stating the wishes of the inhabitants to address their Royal Highnesses, if they should be graciously pleased - to permit them. Major Stevenson conveyed this request to the Duke, who commanded him to express his gratification at the good wishes and loyalty of the town, but that the lateness of the hoar, and the very short time he should remain in Rsinsgate (4s it was his intention to embark at seven o'clock on the following morning), prevented his receiving this testimony of attachment; adding hiv gracious pleasure, " that the Magistrates should intend him NU boor hence." At the appointed time, Sir Thomas Grey and the Rev. R. Harvey were ushered into the royal pre sence (the illustrious parties having then dined), where they met with a most gracious reception, and on behalf of the inhabitants end visitors ‘, begged leave to acknowledge their sense of the honour which his Royal Highness had been pleased to con fer upon this town by his presence, end to express their'hearty wishes that hie Royal Highness might rarely reach the seat of his government after a pros perous voyage." His Rbyal Highness was graciously pleased to express bie approbation of the good wishes of the inhabitants, and of their loyalty and attachment to the Royal Family upon all occasions; and for this personal mark of attention, he commanded the Gentlemen to return his thsnks. The Magistrates thin addressed her Royal High m.s. the Priucesa Augusta, testifying how sensible the inhabitants were of the distinguished honour of her repeated visits to this town (her Royal Highness having embarked and landed here on her former trip to the Continent), and " begged to ex press their sincere wishes that her Royal Highness might safely arrive at the end of her voyage." The Princess graciously thanked them for the good wishes of the town, and expressed her gratifi cation at the marks of attention shewn opon her present as well as former !jolts to Ramsgste. The Gentlemen remained for some time with the Royal Visitors, when they retieed exceedingly pleased with the gracious reception they had met with. At day-break this morning the Royal standard was hoisted is the pier yard, and the carriages and lugg.ge having been put on board, the Royal party left the Albion Hotel about half-past seven o'clock, and walked to the end of the Pier, where Captain Hamilton was ready to receive them on board the Dustier, *lien they embarked immediately, and left the harbour at five minutes before eight. A Royal solute wes fired from the cannon at the Pier-heed, the moment the vessel started. Notwithstanding the early hnur, a great many persons were assembled to witness their departure, and, with repeated cheers, wished them a prosperous voyage, which their Royal Highnesses acknowledged by repeated bows. The harbour being very full, the vessels were dressed with flags on the occasion, and presented a gay scene. Their Royal Highnesses conversed affably on their way to the Pier-heed, asking many questionv relative to surrounding objects, and appeared much pleased at the noble appearance of the Pier, and the facility of embarkation. This Royal visit exhibits a very striking proof of the superiority of Ramsgate harbour for general embarkation, as well as its being at all times acces mble. When particular winds prevail, it is impos iihle to enter Dover, consequently, the mail and ether packets are repeatedly obliged to make for this place. W'ithin the last few days several have been in 'here, and early yesterday morning, the Sovereign steam packet landed a great many passengers and two carriages, having left Calais on the preceding but the bar at Dover prevented her entrance there. During yesterday Le Desi►e, a French mail packet carne in with many passengers and carriages.

The old County Hall, in Lincoln Castle yard, is needy demolished, and the area is laying out for the new structure. It is expected that it will be two years ere the whole edifice will be complete, externally nod internally.

The principal colours are pink and white. The fronts of the boxes have a very neat appearance ; they are ornamented with gilded thistles on the lower tier, roses on the second, and shamrocks on the third, on a white ground, enclosed iu burnished gold lozenges placed longitudinally. The Scots arms in front of the lower gallery is also on a white ground. The sides of the pit are of a deep ►ed, and are shaded in the form of drapery. The new curtain is of a crimson colour, beautifully shaded, and joined to the proscenium, has a splendid" and elegant appearance. The new drop scene is painted with great t minty and taste; it represents the inside of a temple, with the figures of Tragedy, Comedy, and Farce, on pedestal., and is open towards the east ; in the distance is • fine view of Edinburgh, ►eemingly taken from Corstor. phine ; all the most prominent objects of the city are distiuctly seen. The chandelier is also much improved. Indeed the whole presents a magnificent appearance, and we host the manager will receive that patronage from the public to which his taste and spirit so well entitle him. COUKSIA'G.

ALFORD, Novnista 19. Sons after seers o'clock on Sunday evening last another awful visitation took place at Alford, through the diabolical act of en incendiary, who set fire to two hsy.sineks, a stack of straw, and a hovel, the properly of Mr. Wm Trolley; and, strange to say, nutwitlistaadiug the shoal onspicions which are entertaieed, no absolute c l ue has pet given an op. portutaity to convict the offender. The evil spirit which pervades this place is truly alarming, as may he inferred when a retrospective glance is given at the scenes of last winter, continued even to the face of the broad daylight of May moot.. The harvest bad not eloped again ere the cotn mrncemeul house breaking sod highway robberies, which have continued without the intermission of a single week; and now the must alarming feelings are revived by the am &pelletal of Sunday evening. In the coarse of the past week no less thou three delinquents bare been committed to prise■ from this place, mud the offences of wiadow-breaking, pigeon stealing, and general small thefts, are innumerable. A few days ago a quantity of bees were demolished, by the turning over the hives belonging to the Rev. Edmund Dawson, in whose garden a quantity of gooseberry trees were also teen up : indeed, no species of mischief seems beyond the inven tion and practice of some persons in this place; to guard against w►ich,t we must undoubtedly revive the nightly watch, and it would be advisable to direct that watch's par ticular attention to tbe a rnotions of the suspicious, es well as to the objects is danger; surely this ought to be attended to both by night sod by day. After a tragedy it is common to give a laughable farce. Take the following :—lt is stated to be the opiuiou of the credulous that such scourges as are at present enduring may proceed from some supernatural influence, excited by the displacing of so many of the peace ful inhabitants of the chloral-yard, whose remains were re moved a short time since, for the purpose of levelling and otherwise improving its appearance, whirls the work cer tainly did; sod notwithstanding the removal of a few grave stones produced at the time so mach turbulence smart the living, let es trust, for the good of our departed friends, that it never reached those peaceful mansions of the defunct (Stamford Mercorry) t4W COURT OF EINGN RENCFi t Warhol'sTsit, Eli NoYsmaiti !f. ..

No mention is made in the occurrence book of the punishment of Gardner. You must hove been con scious at the time that you were not acting correctly or you would have mentioned it, that it might have met the eye of the visiting Magistrate, who would have given his opinion whether it was proper to be continued or no. While the man was in solitary Confinement there was no reason why the strait waistcoat should have been applied. It was not I punishment likely to endanger, but it was ti'devia bon from your line of duty. From the evidence it appears he misconducted himself ; bat that does not justify you. A good character has been given you by many respectable persons. It appears that you were ander the eye of a Capt. Smith fur many year., and had his highest approbation. In the general tenor of your dory you have conducted yourself with great propriety, which has been taken into consideration by the Court. It appears that you even went beyond your duty as a gaoler; in attending to the comforts of the persons under your charge, and that you even exposed your person to danger in visiting persona who had contagious disorders, to see if they had every comfort their situ ation required.

What you have suffered will deter nnother man from following your example (for, from what has occurred, it is not likely that you will be in a situation to commit it again). The keeper of a gaol is to keep in safe custody all persons committed to his charge, but is not to annoy them in any manner. The COURT do not think it necessary to visit your offence with imprisonment, but for the purposes of justice. the Court do order and adjudge, that you pay a fine to the King of 501.. and be in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea till such fine be paid." The Defendant immediately paid the film, and bowing respectfully to the Court, withdrew. ABBOTT V. YOUNO. This was an action fur a breach of promive of marriage, tried brfo►e Mr. Justice Bayley, at York, at the Assizes of 182:2, when the Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff—damages Wt. Some time since Mr. Setjeant 1-hillock obtained a rule to chew cause why a new trial should not be had, on the ground that two of the Plaintiff's wit nesses had sworn falsely at the trial that they could not write, by which the Defendant was prevented from putting two letters in evidence, which the Plaintiff had sent him. Mr. RAINE now appeared to shew cause against the rule Nisi. lie had, he said, a number of affi davits completely to establish the truth of the testimony given by the two witnesses (the Plaintiff's sisters) at the trial, as to the circumstance of their being unable to write; and the Learned Counsel further contrinled, that h.id the letters which those two witnesses were to prove, been read at the trial, they would not hale d the De fendatit's case, but rather have tended to confirm the other testimony, which went to prove, that a promise of marriage had actually been given by the Defendant. Mr. Serjeant HuLLocK (with whom was Mr. J. Wtwassa and Mr. BROUGHAM) admitted that the affidavits filed by the Plaintiff pletely removed the grounds of his motion on the case of the Plain tiff's witnesses being perjured; but he submitted, on the ground of surprise. that the Court should grant the Defendant a new trial ou the payment of costs. The Court were unanimously of opinion that there had lint been such surprise as would justify the Court in disturbing the verdict of the Jury. Rule for a new trial discharged.

Yesterday Messrs. Allen, Swaby, and Hedger, the Maria. Irate, of this Office, were occupied a considerable lime in agitating the case of a very prepossessing female, apparently about 17 years of age, of extremely mild manners, Rod of a delicate appearance, who gave her name Louisa Williams, otherwise Evans. The charge against tier was for becoming chargeable to the perish o► St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, refusing to give a saiNfaclory account of herself, the assistant overseer of the parish, attend ed en Wednesday last, and preferred the above charge against her. He I:serrated his testimony by 'observing to the Magis trate that she .as either of a family of respectability, and had deserted it fur some rause ur other, or, on the contrary, s►e was a Most artful impostor. Mr. Holland then stated, that some time since the accused became chargeable to the parish of Bermondsey. She was brought into the workhorse, in the most abject misery. Upon the Governors interrogating her, ■be said she was a native of Malts, soil that her father was many years in the 19th regiment. When she attained the age of yawl, she proceeded to Jamaica with her parents. Her father after wards went to Hsbfax, where he remained for five year,. ; be afterwards returned to Jamaica, and died there of a fever. After the dissolution of her father, she, with her mother and a sister and brother, went to Malta, her place of nativity, and her mother opened a wine-house in Stradmparrati. They remained at Malta about four year', when her mother, her sister, sail herself (her hrotber having died) arrived is Eng land. On their arrival, her mother proceeded to Newcastle to reside, sad she and the remainder of the family ■ceompa nied her. They stopped at her lust's, Mrs. Brown's, who kept the Black Horne public-house at Royston, where they remained some time ; •tler which they pursued their journey to Newcastle, and had not resided there long before her mother ►ecame acquainted with'a Mr. Ernes, who was belonging to the blockade service at Hythe, in Kent, whom she afterwards married, and sent to eeside at Hythe. She lived in Newcastle some time afterwards, and then went in pursuit of her mother. She left Newcastle on the Ist Sep tember, with only 6.. in her pocket, and walked to Loudon, a distance of 300 mites. After she had expendedwhat mossy she possessed, she slept in fields, under hedges, and other places is the open air, suffering the greatest hardships. She pro ceeded ea till see arrived at Hythe, where her mother, she supposed, was living. On her reaching that place, she made every inquiry after her parent, but without success, and finding all her efforts to trace her out abortive, she deter mined on • j•ersey to Loudon, sad on Om 17th of Septem ber, she arrived i■ Bermondsey parish.ane being so cabalist eel flout fatigue and hunger, she fell to the greeted, and is a state of insensibility, was taken to the parish weikhouse. Mr. Holland further said, after she had given the foregoing account of herself, she was requested by the Goys/inure to give some account of the family in whom she was compacted, lent she refused. The parish, in consequence, from motives of humanity, kept her in the work Moue, end made Inquiries about her at the places she named to her narrative, and after t►e strictest communications, all her matemenm wire proved so be erroneous; still the gist persisted in bee as sertions. Mr. Allen, the Magistrate, suggested that Ale better course would be us hand her over to the Aleudicity Society, who would use every exertion to true eat , the authenticity or her statement. Mr. Holland said be would eons:tit with Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary to the Society, and the girl should be brought up seal day (yesterday.) Accordingly, at two o'clock, Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary to the Mendicity Society, attended, aud d>o I other Gentlemen belonging to the establishment, and the female was placed before the beucb, sod the case was further in ♦estigated.

On the 11th of Sip. tember last the Prisoner was recommended by Dowager Lady Stamford, who in a subscriber to the Society, as an ob ject of compassion. She had been recommended by Lady Louisa Grey to ►er (the Dowager) through the medium of Miss Walpole. The Society investigated her case, and it was taken upon Lady Stafford's recommendation, vaich ad. wised her being atilt to Hyatt to her parent.. The Prisoner was seat to the Society's Asylum io Suffolk-street, Batik Bridge, and letters were dispatched to a Mr. Dewar, at Newcastle, to levier into the truth of ►er at:dement as to her mother living there; and also to Mr. Crawford, the rest. dentiary Minister of Hythe, as to her mother living there. From the former Gentleman an answer was received, stating that no such individuals described as the pan opts of the Pri• goner ever resided there, and enclosing a paragraph from the Tyne Mercury of the 14th of May, which was to t►e fol lowing effect " On the might of Friday last, between seven and eight o'clock. as Mr. Elliot, the tobacconist, was passing through a field at Rams•bridge, near this town, he observed • young woman lying ■ear a haystack, apparently unconscious of the dreadful storm to which she was exposed.

Mr. Allen now called on the Prisoner to slate who she war, stud to whom she belonged. All she raid was, Hirt she longed to IVbiterhapel, and if the Gentlemen wanted to know any thing more s h out her, Mrs Low, of Whitecrossiarert, Cripplegate, would furnish them with the particular, of her history.

JOHN KIRKWOOD. Mr. HOSEaT JANIcsoN, for the Pursuer, stated to the Jury the particulars of this case, which, he said, required some preliminary explanation of the proceedings which the parties had already had in the Court of Fesoion. Mr. Wilson was a vintner in Glasgow, and employed his apart capital in build ing bosses, which be afterwards let. In the year 1819, having feued some lead, be had occasion to open contracts with various kinds of artificers required in building; and be caused specifications to be drawn op, and estimates to be delivered in for the different kinds of work which he wanted to be done. The present cause mote solely out of the wright.work. A meeting was appointed for those who thought proper to offer for the work; and Mr. Brash, as architect, was employed to receive, open, and read the estimates at the meeting. After the different offkralted been read, Mr. Brash declared that the offer of Mr. John Kirk• wood, jun. was the lowest. and that which should be pre• (erred. His estimate was the one in process : it offered to perform the work for 4801. sterling. The contract wars thus made with Kirkwood, jun., and though Kirkwood the father oceasionally interfered, and paid the workmen 'bele wages, and sometimes gave directions how the work Amid be done, yet it was the son who took the molt active part •n superintending the work, and demanding payment for :r. In the progress of the undertaking, Mr. Wilson gave orders for sonic extra works which had not been contemplated by the compact, and for which be was to pay according to a fa;r valuation. Upon this understanding Mr. Wilson advanced to the Kirkvrooris money on account, to the extent 4 301. more than was originally contracted for. But Mr. Kirkwood, senior, bed by this time taken up . an opinion, very favourable to his interest, that the contract bed been for 8501.; and ridding to this sum about 40f. the money due for extra works, and deducting the mono' of cash received on account, he concluded for the paymeot of 1131. 13s. 8.1, to recover which sum be bud raised an actiou in the Court of Session, to which Miura the issues now to be tried were only auxiliary. It was important to rib , that the artiou was raised in the name, not of the person with whom the contract w.s but of Kirkwood, armor, between *bons and Kirkwood, junior, tio copartnery retitled. The case attempted to be trade out was this i—Korkonnd, senior, alleged that he had already delivered in au offer to undertake the wait sit 899/., wheu Mr. Wilson applied to Kirkwood, junior, and got him to send in a much lower offer (which was the one in process); and that this was dune merely with view to make sure of the job, sod upon the under. standing that the former offer was the one which should stood goad. 7he evict. tire rested upon was that of the five estimators 11110 were poorer', at the meeting when the contract was derided, and who were nnderstiorel ro say, that they thought Mr. Brash bad read 5301, trod nut 450/. in Mr. Kirkwond's offer. It was to he remarkert„ that although this opposed false leading of the letter woe noted at the time, yet the contract was not called in gees tion until two years after, by which time there was some chance of the document itself not being forthcoming; In which case Mr. K Pico oud might safely have quoted the me mories or misapprehensions of the other competitors for the work. When, however, he saw that the originel estimate was in existence, be was obliged to take up • different story. He bad already asserted that be had given in au estimate at effif. and his son another at •41501. He afterwards discovered two estimates by his son: one for 4501. which was not to be acted open, hut only to blind tire other trade-mess: and another estimate for 5.501., which wan the one iotemled to be acted spun.
