The company assembled at Newhaven at ten o'clock, a number of member. 4 being dressed in the Highland garb, the ladies wearing scarfs of the different Clan Tartans, and almost every one present being deco rated with some Scottish favour. The Velocity steam-vessel, beautifully decorated with flags, as well at the embarking as the disem barking, and the whole under the direction of Cap tain DONALDSON BOSWELL OF WARDIE, R.N., was conducted with the greatest care and convenient.) , to the company. Soon after ten o'clock the club being embarked, the vessel started from the Stone Pier, the pipers striking up" O'er the hills and far away," followed by the excellent band of the 12th Royal Lancers, with the national air of "The Garb of old Gaul."— The club landed on the island soon after eleveno'clock, and after visiting the Light-house, and strolling for some time over the island, which could not have carried on its surface a more brilliant assemblage of the fair, the games commenced in their order.— The completions were under the direction of Major MACDONALD OF CALLIE, as convener, and the com mittee on the sports, and the general arrangement, by the indefatigable exertions of the convener and his coadjutors, gave universal satisfaction. RIFLE SHOOTING.—For this prize there were twelve competitors, and the successful candidate was Cluny INlTherson, Chief of Clanchatten, who put two of his three balls into the inner ring of the bull's eye, and very near the centre. THROWING TILE HAMMER.—There we four competitors for this prize, which was won by Mr. William Campbell, of Achlian, who threw a ham mer 18 pounds weight up a gentle, inclined plain, to a distance of 59 feet. PUTTING THE STONE.—(A Ball 22 pounds weight.)—This prize, for which there were four competitors, was also gained by Mr. Campbell, who projected the ball a distance of 26 feet. QUOITS.—This prize was keenly contested by six gentlemen, and was won by Robert Banner, jun. Esq., beating Staffa and Mr. Stevenson, by only one shot. STEEPLE RACE.—The contest for this prize ex cited great interest. The length of the course, as the crow flies, was about half a mile; but from the precipitous nature of the ground, the runner had to find his way as he best could. Four started, but two of them gave in about half way. The other A 6 to kept very close till ►within a short distance of the winning post, when Mr. Edward M'Callam shot in before his rival and won cleverly. Several other prizes were to have been competed for had time permitted. During the intervals be tween the games and at the conclusion, numerous dancing parties tript it lightly on the turf to the music of theLancers' fine band and the club's pipers. At four o'clock the club accompanied the ladies who did them the honour to attend, and sat down to an elegant dinner in a spacious tent, in which covers were laid for 300. Ronald M'Donald of Staffri, in the chair; Cluny M'Pherson, Captain Donald son Boswall, R. N., and Major M'Donald of Callie, croupiers. An excellent desert of fruit followed the dinner, and the entertainment and wines, which were furnished by Mr. Presgrave, of Stockbridge, as well as his whole arrangements, gave universal satisfaction. Among the guests were a Nobleman from the Court of Baden, two Prussian gentlemen of dis tinction, a Gentleman from Italy, the Chevalier Lane, Mr. Segismund Neukomm, from Paris, Colo nel Harvey, &c. The Directors had sent an invita tion to his Royal Highness the Duke de Chartres and suite, through the French Consul-General, in the event of his Royal'Highness's arrival in Edin burgh, which had been expected on the day previous to the meeting. THE )INNER. After the cloth was removed the following among other toasts were given. " The King, God bless him, and long may he live and reign over us," by four—Tune " God save the King." " The Duke of Clarence and St. Andrews, and the other branches of the Royal family." " The Navy and Army of the British empire"—Tunes "Rule Britan nia, and British Grenadiers." " The Duke of Wel lington and his Majesty's Government." STAFFS then rose to introduce the leading toast of the day, and in doing so, and after expressing regret that one more able than himself had not been chosen to discharge so arduous a duty, said such as his feeble exertions however were, he should not be wanting in the exercise of them, in the anxious en deavour to contribute to their sociality upon this occasion. The toast which he ANUS about to give was, " Prosperity to the Highland Club of Scot land."—(Cheers.)—lt would be as unnecessary as it would be improper in him, said the learned Chair man, to occupy the time by dwelling upon the benefits that would arise from the establishment of institutions such as the present ; as from a prudent management of their funds, and the judicious direc tion of these into the proper channels, the two-fold objects were attained, of renewing the manly sports of our ancestors, and of promoting the benefits and blessings upon their offspring; besides, the accom plishments of these ends again carried with it the incalculable advantages on the one hand, of rearing up in the minds of our Scottish youth such generous and patriotic feelings as would make them spurn at every thing that was sordid or dishonourable ; while on the other, by mingling with such sentiments the great blessing of education, there would be instilled into the youthful mind those principles of sound sense, and those feelings of genuine and sterling good morals, which could in no other way be so effectually attained and riveted in their hearts. In illustration of these positions, he stated he had much gratification in announcing to the company, that the number of orphans and poor children (boys and girls) who were at this moment educating under the auspices and at the expense of this Institution, ex ceeded one hundred ; and in regard to the exercises or games, though some of these only had been prac tised on that day, he would leave it to the company to judge of these from what they had seen. The Chairman stated that he had only to add, that no arguments, or unaccountable prejudices of indivi duals, nor of illiberal or narrow-minded policy, should ever induce him to think or believe that in stitutions of this sort (and he was glad to learn that there had been several of them established in various parts of Scotland, since the auspicious visit of his gracious Majesty to his ancient kingdom of Scot land) are not of essential and permanent utility to the country at large; not only as it regards its mo rals, but also with respect to its increasing intellect, and general good principles. Having said thus much, the Chairman begged leave to give " The Highland Club of Scotland, and that every success might attend the excellent and benevolent objects of its institution, and may its hundred scholars soon be augmented to double that nurn ber;" nor did he at all despair in time to see some of the youths who are now at its school fill that chair, which by the kind indulgence of the club had on that day been assigned to him to occupy, and that chair filled too with more ability than he could ever pretend to do.—(Long continued cheering, drank with Highland honours)—Tune," O'er the Muir amang the Heather." STAFFA, after a short prefitce in compliment to the manly and patriotic feelings which hare uniformly distinguished the conduct of the nobleman who is the Patron of the Institution, and who the Chairman had the honour of stating was his relative, pro posed the " Health of the Right Hon. the, Loud Glenorchy, the Patron of the Club."—(Great ap plause.)—Tune, " Lord Breadalbatie's March." STAFFA next craved a flowing bumper, and hav ing at this time observed. the Chevalier Laine, the Consul-General of. France, and another distin guished French gentleman, who had just arrived from Paris, proposed the " Health of his Christian Majesty Charles the Tenth, King of France, the staunch and faithful ally of his Britannic Majesty," and for whom he felt convinced that many then pre sent had with himself retained lasting impressions of esteem, respect, and gratitude for his Majesty's kind and condescending a ttention to all who had t h e ho nour of attending his Majesty's levees, in the days of other times, within the reserved and sacred walls of the Royal Palace of Holyrood. Staffa concluded by coupling with his toast the" Health of the Che valier Laine, and the distinguished foreigner who sat by him."—This toast was drunk in the midst of great cheering and unbounded applause. The Chevalier LAINE returned thanks by express- _ . ing his acknowledgements for the kind liberality and good feeling which had been expressed, and the compliment which had been thus paid to his Sove reign, arid for the great hospitality which had been shown, and the honour which had been conferred upon himself and his friends on this occasion. STAFFA proposed " The health of the Lord Provost and prosperity to the Corporation of Edinburgh."— (Applause.) CLUNY, after an eloquent eulogium on the pub lic character of the Chairman, viz., a patient en durance, a staunch Highland heart, and a firm and unconquerable determination to discharge every duty in all situations, under any and every circumstance, proposed " The health of Statfa," which was drank with enthusiastic Highland honours.—Tune," Staf fa's Strathspey," erroneously called Neil Gow's Wife. STAFFA, in rising to return thanks, assured his gallant friend Cluny and the company, that in so far as sterling feelings were concerned, and an anx• ious desire to promote every object which tended to the advantage and benefit of his country and coun trymen, his determination in the promoting and cherishing of such objects was unconquerable— (Cheers,) —and should only end when the spark of life which glowed in the heart of him who now ad dressed them, should cease to beat. Staffa, before sitting down, proposed " The health of the gallant Gen. Stewart of Garth," whom he had the honour of denominating as his friend ; and on this occasion the Chairman asked the permission of the company to be allowed to preface this toast in the language which he was sure would mare nearly reach the heart of his gallant friend than any other, viz., the Gaelic, which the Chairman with great fluency ex pressed in strong energetic terms, explanatory of the great benefits which General Stewart had conferred on his country, by standing forth and bleeding in its cause, when it was necessary to unsheath the sword and meet the enemy on their own ground; and when the blessings of peace were attained by means of British prowess and British valour, we find the gal lant General occupied iu recording a faithful detail and history of feats performed by his countrymen during the momentous struggle of every thing that was sacred and dear to us in the twenty years' war. This health was received and drank with enthusi astic applause.—Tune," Dainty Davie." Claim - then rose and proposed " The health of her Grace the Duchess of Argyle, and the other Ladies who are Honorary Members of the Club."— Applause.) Tune, " Green grow the rushes." STAFFA proposed " The health of the Ladies then present, who had honoured the meeting with their company on that day."—(Great applause.)— Time, " Flowers of Edinburgh." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The health of his Majesty, Frederick William HI., King of Prussia," stated that he had great satisfaction at having the honour of the company of a distinguished native of that country present, who he also wished to include in the toast.—(Great cheering.) This distinguished individual returned thanks in the name of his Sovereign, and for the honour done to himself ; he had been very anxious to be present at a Meeting of Highlanders, and his wishes were this day not only accomplished, but highly gratified. STAITA had now the honour of proposing the health of another illustrious individual, " The Grand Duke of Baden," and begged leave to add that of a distinguished personage connected with his Court, who had this day also honoured the Club with his company, Viz.," M.Dhamen."— (Applause.) M. DHASIEN acknowledged the compliment in a very neat and concise speech, couched in remarkably. good English, in of hick he expressed himself much pleased with the notice taken of the Grand Duke, and the honour done to himself in drinking his health, and that he would not fail to report it to his Court. Captain DONALDSON BOSWELL, R.N. proposed the health of his Grace the Duke of Buccleugh, and thanks to his Grace for granting permission to the Club to hold its meeting on the island of Inch keith, which was so appropriate for the purpose.— (Loud cheering.)—Tune " Dalkeith House." Major MACDONALD cf Callie proposed " The Chief of Chinranald, Chairman of the last Meeting." —(Drank with Highland honours.)—Tune," Clan ranald Salute." By CLUNY, the Duke of Gordon—" The Cock of the North."—(Great applause.)—Tune, " Duke of Gordon's salute.' STAFFA—" Prosperity to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the land of our forefathers, where a friend never met a traitor, nor an enemy a coward." —(Much applause.) Tune—" Auld lang sync." The CHAIRMAN, in rising to give the health of the gallant Croupiers,—Cluny M'Pherson, Captain D. Boswell, R.N., and Major M'Donald,—stated that he wanted words to express the great obliga tions under which lie lay to these gentlemen ; and even if he could command words, the desire to spare their feelings prevented his commenting, and saying what he could have otherwise wished in praise of their many excellent and manly virtues; and which, from the intim:tcy which he had the ho nour of holding with all of them, no man could be more sensible of these amiable qualifications than himself, and that want of time alone compelled him to class the three in one bumper, which the Chair man craved should be an overflowing one. 'I his toast was received with enthusiastic applause.— Tune—" Three jolly fellows." CLUNY returned thanks ; and Captain BOSWELL and Major IVPDoNALD, in expressing their obligation for the honour done to them, expressed their rea• diness upon all occasions to contribute their utmost exertions towards the promoting of the laudable and patriotic objects of this most excellent institution. STAFFA, after commenting, in a very feel ing and animated manner, on the auspicious visit of our gracious Sovereign to his ancient kingdom of Scotland, and the many advantages which have emanated in various ways from that never-to-he- forgotten event, gave " The 15th August, 1822, and the recollection of the fifteen happy days dur ing which ancient Caledonia hailed her gracious King within her bosom."—((Treat cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then called up Cluny Macpher son and the other successful competitors of the field of sports, and after a short but most appropriate address to each, delivered the silver medals, which , were beautifully made, bearing the seal and em blems of the Club on the on e side, with a suitable inscription on the other, arid inclosed in red morocco cases, suspended vith Royal tartan ribbons. He then proposed their healths, which were drank with Highland honours and great applause.—Tune, " See the conquering heroes come." STAFI'A then propos e d t h e h ea l t h s o f t h e unsuc cessful competitors, and although he was himself one of ace, however, looked forward to better success at some itoure competition. (Cheers.) By Captain l'ilAcANL—" Chiefs and - Clans; and may God bh.Ss the Lnd of cahes."-Tune-- ,. -" Garb of old Gaul." CLUNY, 01;ef of Clanchatten, returned thanks ; for himself and the absent chiefs of clans. The CHAIRMAN then proposed an overflowing bumper to " Co:cnel Mg-lean, Cohn M‘Nab, Esq. of Sine, and the other Directors of the Club, and the Stewards of the day."—(Great applause.)— Tune—" Highland Laddie." By CLUNY—" Prosperity to the Highland So ciety of Scotland."—(Applause.) STAFFA returred thanks, and proposed " Pros perity to the Highland Society of London." A So ciety that was now converting its funds to the most useful purposes, and to whose secretaries, Messrs. Wedderburn and M'Donald, and its Directors, the best thanks of the Club were due.—(Drank with Highland honour3.)—Tune—" Blue Bonnets o'er the Border." STAFFA, after remarking at some length, and stat ing his own knowledge on the want of education in the Highlands, and particularly in the populous and interesting islands of Scotland, proposed the health of " Principal Baird and the Committee of the Na tional Church, and sum ss to their laudable exer tions in the instructing of the inhabitants in these remote districts of Scotland."—(Draitl: with great applause.) JOHN TURNER, Esq. of Turner-hall, then pro posed the health of Mr. Christie, the secretary, in a neat and appropriate speech, which was drank with much applause. Mr. CHRISTIE returned thanks, expressing the high gratification be felt in the great success that had attended the procee&ngs of the day, in which he had felt an intense interest. STAFFA, in proposing the health of William Camp bell, Esq., the Treasurer of the Club, assured the company that the Hon. Secretary was also on his list, but that it could not have fallen into better hands. STAFFA, in a Gaelic speech, in the course of which he introduced and recited the beautiful address by Fingal to his grandson Oscar, when he lay mortally wounded, concluded by stating that notwithstanding the prejudices and incredulity of the inhabitants of our sister Kingdom, England, as to the existence of the Fingalians, and the generous and noble sentiments attributed to them in the earliest periods of the history of our country, and of the ambition of the inhabitants of the Green Isle to claim Fingal as their own, that these were points which to the last hour of his existence he never would give up to any man, or class of men on the face of the earth, and that he was ready at all times to meet those who might think otherwise upon the argument as well as on the fact. Staffa then craved an overflowing bumper to that unequalled and highly gifted individual " Sir Walter Scott—(Cheers) — and to the many renowned living poets of our coun try."—(Loud and continued cheering)—Tune, " Kenmure's on and awa'." By COLIN I`7l‘NAn of S;ne—" Stan, and the Stirling and Bannockburn Caledonian Society."— (Applause.) In returning thanks, Staffs assured the Company that the Society pronounced, of which he had the honour of being Patron, while it embraced the che rishing several of the manly games of our ancestors, made it its chief object to clothe and educate the destitute children and orphans of that classical dis trict of the country ; and although the Institution had not been formed for more than six or seven years, they bad already clothed and educated upwards of one hundred children.—(Applause.) STAFTA proposed his relative arid gallant kins man, "his Excellency Marshal INl'Donald, Duke of Tarentum, and the other honorary Members of the Club."—(Applause.)—Tune, " O'er the Water to Charlie." The CHAIRMAN, in paying a handsome and well merited compliment to Lord and Lady Willoughby, better known in former time by the titles of Lord and Lady Gwyder, for the invariable attention which they have ever paid in promoting every object which tended to the benefit and substantial improvement of Scotland, proposed the " St.Fillen's Society, and may its funds soon be directed towards the esta blishment of Schools, as well as that of the practising of Highland Games."—(Cheers.)—Tune, " Lady Drummond of Perth's reel." After a few more toasts, such as the Celtic, Dun keld, Perth Societies, &c., &affa left the Chair, when Highland reels, &e. commenced under the tent, which was kept up with great spirit till the bugle sounded, the retreat for re-embarking. A reel, danced in the true Highland character by the two Chieftains, Staffs and — Cluny, attracted great notice, and called forth bursts of applause. The music was throughout excellent, the band of the Royal Lancers, Menzie's band of violins, and the pipers playing alternatively. '1 he Club and their friends relanded at Newhaven soon after nine o'clock, highly gratified with the amusements of the day. FA SHION ABLE, INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

THE DUCHESS OF ST.. ALBAN'S BALL AND SUPPER.—This treat was given in Stratton-street on Monday evening, and was in the usual style of splendour and magnificence. The ball-room was thrown open at eleven o'clock, most tastefully decorated with real and arti ficial flowers, to a fashionable cire!e, exceeding SOO of the haut ton, who were greeted with some beautiful qua drilles and waltzes, finely psi formed by WEippERT and his hand ; during the evening galloopes were introduced with good effect. Dancing was continued with great spirit till half.past four o'clock in the morning. The refreshments and supper were on a most magnificent and costly scale, under the able i-lirectiou of the Messrs. GUNTER. The entertainments altogether went off with brilliant eclat. Amongst the company were the Countess of GUILFORD, Count and Countess Lupote, Lady S.

On Friday the atmosphere was but the evening set in close and sultry. About ten o'cleelt flashes of lightning were observed at intervals to he emitted from some clouds in the west. These flashes continued, with little intermis sion, until about half-past two the followiPg morn ing, when the clouds suddenly lowered towards the earth, and a gloomy darkness succeeded. A change came again—strong flashes of lightning, together with the distant rolling of thunder, proclaimed the approach of a terrific storm, and in about a quarter of an hour it came with fury and desolation en its wings, and descended to the earth. It spread itself over the country to the north-west of this town.— The lightning was vivid and awful, the whole western hemisphere appearing to be one continued sheet of fire, the flashes being for about half an hour incessant. About this time the clouds burst, and a tre mendous shower of rain tended to dispel terror. Mingled with the rain was a shower of hailstones, and the streets of the town, in several parts, were speedily flooded to a considerable depth. At a quar ter past three, however, the storm began to subside. Uponthe farm occupied by M•. llorsi.wco 1, at Bro thertoft, the storm wreaked its most dreadful fury. Several fields of most beautiful wheat and other corn were entirely destroyed! Some oat fields have a very singular appearance—the crop stands erect, and at a distance looks remarkably fine, but it is merely the skeleton of corn, the cars being com pletely thrashed out.—Mr. Horsewood has lost nearly 100 acres cf corn and about 14 acres of cole seed by this awful calamity ; the farm occupied by Thomas Gee, Esq., has also been visited, and that gentleman estimates his loss at about 4001.—Mr. Robinson, of Frampton, calculates that his loss amounts to 1,0001.; Mr. Toynton and Mr. Wright, of Brothertoft, have also lost nearly their entire har vest. Mr. Cuttois, of Langret Ferry, has lost about three hundred acres of corn. Judging from what we have seen and heard, we should certainly say that the damage sustained exceeds 70,000/. in value, and we all know the farmers can ill bear this dread ful addition to their burdens.—The dreadful line of devastation appears to extend about a mile in breadth, and eight miles in length, through one of the most fertile parts of Lincolnshire. What ap pears very singular is, that through the whole ex tent, we cannot hear of a single life, either man or beast, being sacrificed. Hundreds of windows were smashed by the immense hail-stones, and in some in stances the window frames were beat in. Several hours afterwards, hail -stones, as large as walnuts, were picked up, in various parts. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING. YORK, MONDAY NICHT.-From the appearance of things at present there is not much prospect of the meet ing being remarkable for any of-those attractions which formerly characterised the August meeting. At one period it was by odds the greatest in the North, generally occu pying six days, and sometimes seven ; this year it will be confined to four !Jays, the Saturday Races being done away. Great complaint is made by all classes at this in fringement upon a good old custom, the s'ort on Saturday having always been looked upon as the exclusive right of the farmers and others attending the market, and who consider it a much greater hardship than the diafranchis ing of the forty-shilling freeholders. The falling off in this ' meeting has been progressive fur the last four or five years, and arises from various causes, the chief of which are the increasing importance of the Spring Meeting, and the ob jection which many gentlemen have to prepare their young horses for Stakes, which, coining so close upon the Great St. Leger, renders a second preparation necessary. Between fifty and sixty horses have arrived at Ding houses and Middlethorpe, neither of the crack St. Leger favourites being in the number. Lady S ;rah is not here, but it is not unlikely that she may arrive between this and Thursct:iy. Prince Eugene is here, and being now up to the mark, is thought much of for the 100 guineas Produce Stakes ; his most formidable opponent is Lord Mount charles's Rupert, who is a fine rattling colt, in capital train ing, and likely to produce a dangerous nag for those who stand against Lira. He is by far the most promising Master Henry colt we have seen. The renowned Zinganee reached York on Saturday, merely as an idler, or looker-on being " bottled up" for the Doncaster Cup. He took walk ing exercise yesterday, but the Yorkshire knowing ones, so fameui for their judgment in a " bit o' horseflesh," give him no credit for being a " slap-up" looking nag ; they say he's not " a good Copt un," and appears to overlook his room before, and the great liberty na'ure has given him to get away when once in action, a point for which he is greatly admired by many excellent judges. The Yorkshire folk reckon they can find a three-legged tit to beat him over Doncaster. So much for prejudice. At the making up of our parcel there had been little betting worth notice, and the arrivals were scanty. The fixtures for to-morrow have closed thus : 'f he Great Yorkshire Stakes, for three-yr-olds.

An excellent mateh at Cricket was played yesterday in the Brocas, Eton, between the members of the Wycombe Club and the Wind,or and Eton Junior Club, which was decided in favour of the latter. The day was extremely fine, and the interest excited attracted a greater number of visitors than we ever remember to have seen upon a similar occasion. The following is a statement of the game : WIND:.;011 AND ETON. ist Innings W YCO3I BE. 2d Ditto - 15412d Ditto... Bl GRAND ROWING MATCH FOR I TWO lIUND'RED SOVEREIGNS. On Monday evening a grand and interesting match took place between eight young gentlemen of Westminster and eight of Eton, for one hundred sovereigns a-side. The distance rowed was from Putney Bridge to Hamm:rsmith and back ; and some time previous to the time named for starting (six o'clock), the river and its banks were crowded with spectators, among whom were a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen of rank and fashion. The towing path was thronged with equestrians, and never did the river on any similar occasion exhibit a more intertstingly gay appearance, the majority of the aquatic admirers of both sexes wearing a piece of blue riband, the gentlemen in their coat button-holes, and the ladies on the left side of their waist. The oldest of the contending party were not more than 20, and they varied from 11 to that age. The young gentlemen of Eton pulled up to Putney Bridge in the Britannia, a fine con-trueted boat built by Archer, of Lambeth ; the celebrated Mr. T. Honey, the boat builder of Lambeth, was appointed to the important sta tion of steerer to the Eton boat. The Westminster scho lars appeared tit the bridge in a beat of Searle's. Both parties were attired in rowing trim, and every preliminary being adjusted, the start took place on the firing of a gun on shore. The Westminster gentlemen took the laad by nearly a beat's length, but on arriving off Craven Cottage, by the scientific manner in which the lines were handled, and a degree of extra power which the oarmen put on the Eton boat, came alongside; and, notwithstanding the scien tific mureavre of Bruinmell, who steered the Westmin ster boat, in endeavouring to bring his boat's neap on to the rudder of that of the opposite party, the Eton gentlemen gallantly went a-head, and finally won the match by a quarter of a mile. The winning party spent tIK., ev e uj ug at the Star and Garter. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We publish some further particulars of the three criminals who were executed at the Old Bailey on Monday, and a sensible letter on the subject of " happy," " blessed" wretches of the same description, who undergo the sentence of the law. We really hope that the good sensT of the public till put an end to these follies, and teach capital offenders that though they may, through sincere repentance, hope for mercy through the atonement of their Redeemer, yet that persons of their past life and character are not in a condition to exult and triumph ; casting out of view their repeated crimes (for few suffer for the first), to consider themselves rather as martyrs in God's cause, than as con victs in that of the Devil. We would wish per sons engaged in guilty courses to consider what sincere repentance is:—it is that contrition for the past, and self-abhorrence for crimes com mitted, which would keep the criminal from plunging into similar practices if he were turned loose into the world again. How many of the glorified saints who die by the halter have this repentance it is not for us to say ; but any thing short of it is no repentance at all. Can any thing be so shocking as to see a wretch affecting security with respect to his eternal salvation, whilst he knows his guilt, and is practising a sly, shifty equivocation, more knavish ten times over, than a direct falsehood ? 1 here is hardly any thing more detestable in the blas phemies of Taylor and Carlile than this. Do we not pity those who expiate their crimes by death ? it may be asked. Yes, sincerely ; and we would, if possible, render their situation less desperate, by taking away from it the deceptive gloss which dazzles the world and deceives their own hearts. But give us leave to say, that we also pity those who, after having suffered egre gious wrong, are obliged, at fresh expense and trouble, to prosecute legally those who inflict it ; and then have for their reward the mortification of seeing the wretched men whom they bring to condign punishment considered as martyrs, and themselves as persecutors. For our own parts, we think that a man who, under all the diffi culties of a legal process, brings a criminal to justice, does his country a more essential service than one who kills twenty of the enemy's forces in the field, or on the main deck.—Times. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE TIMES. Sir,--In your paper of this day is an account of the execution of three men at the Old Bailey, to which I beg to call your particular attention. In that account all the three prisoners are represented as stating themselves to be perfectly hsppy, and quite confident in the efficacy of their repentance to ensure their forgiveness in the eyes of God. I can not but suppose that you, Mr. Editor, as well 54 every thinking person, must be fully aware of the dreadful consequences of such representations. The salutary terror of punishment is thereby so far lessened, as to become of very little avail indeed. Not only are these people convinced that, if I may be allowed the expression, the gallows is but a step- ping-stone to heaven, but their imaginations are pleased at the thought of enjoying, at least for a tine, a sort of posthumous fame. A melancholy nstance of the truth of this occurred in the case of William Vial!, which appeared in the Times of the 22d inst. This young man had attempted to mur der his fellow-apprentice, apparently without any reason whatever. It was evident that he had been in the habit of attending executions, or at least of reading descriptions of them ; yet so little terror had they produced upon him, that in his box was found a paper in his own handwriting, giving a description of his own execution, and representing his own body upon the gibbet, with the surrounding multitude. Now, Sir, if the end of punishment be the preven tion of crime, by striking terror into the minds of the worthless and profligate, I cannot but think that this important object is but little advanced by the kind of publication to which I have alluded. While every criminal is painted in the colours of a martyr, we cannot be surprised that their fate should be con templated, especially by the lower orders, rather with pity than with horror. And when we hear men, upon the brink of eternity, declaring the most presumptuous confidence in the efficacy of their re• pentance, we can hardly doubt but that the convic lion which it must bring to the minds of the vulgar is, that however bad a man's life may have been, however dreadful his crimes, he needs but a few days' prayer and repentance—if repentance it can be called—to assure him of forgiveness and eternal happiness. I need not, I am confident, point out to you how little advisable it is that such a convic tion should be produced in the mind of any man whatever.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obe, dient servant, London, July 29. M. C. A report of a case of crim. con. at the Sheriff; Court, yesterday, will be found in another co lump. Heavy damages were given. M o d es and fashions are certainly changing. Spanish jealousy was at one time proverbial., and now a Spanish husband is the least jealous of all hus bands. The Italians were formerly so jealous, that they never suffered their wives to leave their homes, except either in their own company or that of a trusty friend. In process of time that trusty friend became, under the title Cavalier Servante or Cecisbeo, the authorised lover of the wife, by whom he is chosen and dismissed at will. Those who pretend to an acquaintance with fashionable life in England maintain, that, with respect to crim. con. a groat change has taken place within the last fifteen years. At one time nothing was so .rare as crim, cons. in tlio middle ranks. In this country there is a con stant pressure from beneath, and of late years, the people who figure in crim. cons. in on, Courts are chiefly Shopkeepers, half-pay Okp,.. tains, Farmers, and occcasionally C.;gytnen, The moment persons of this rank began to figu lt , in Courts of Justice, the higher ranks be,ntne disgusted with the remedy ; and if we uo cor rectly informed, a man of fashion, even if in- jured in a tender point, would be considered as lowering himself by an exhibition in a Court of Law. Human nature is, always the same, anti it may be taken fa; granted, that in a given, number of fashionable people, there are as tm , ,n) aberrations now as fifteen years ago. ThQ ference is in the way of thinking. A 5 it is since the Continent was opened to our fashion able people that the change has taken place, 'er haps the prevailing ways of thinking at Flo rence, Rome, Naples, aTe. may have ;not been without its influence on our Atistocracv.— Morning Chronicle. A great deal of ridicule has occasionally been cast on those who have expressed sanguine hopes of the future intellectual elevation of our species. We think the ridicule misplaced, and that a compariscna of the present state of this country with the state only fifty years back, will afford a sufficient justification of those who indulge in bright hopes of the future. Jean Jacques Rous seau, in a letter to Mirvbeau the elder, who had been expressing himself warmly as to the future improvement of the world, ridicules the credulity of the Abhe de St. Pierre, for " maintaining that human reason was advancing constantly t )v:ards perfection, as each age adds its intelli gence to that of preceding4l:;es.: - -He did not see that the human understanding has" - always the same measure, and that a very narrow that
