It is true that the stocks in the farmers' hands are low, as they have been for many years at thi s season, or and that the harvest is likely to be a week t wo later th an usual • but still we must insist that in Yorkshire and in Lincolnshire, and we believe in all the other great corn counties, the prospect, as far as the corn and Potato crops are concerned, is cheering ; and if the 'pother should pr o v e f avoura bl e f or gathering them (wh i c h I 'M grant), th e com i ng season w i ll be a year of plenty.— ; th at case, a large portion of the money spent this year the pur c h ase o f f ore i gn gra i n will be applicable next P`nd Year to the p urc h ase o f c l ot hi ng; and though the price Per bushel to the farmer will be less than was .spaid : l ast year, the amount of money received for hi s crops 1 ,be larg er , and his own family w ill b e supported b y a M ercury, less comparative drain upon his stack - yard .— Leeds -4ercury, IRELAND. (FeGm the Time, ) DUBLIN, JULY 16.—The 121 h, or lather the 13th of July has been, as you will see by Ote enclosed, documents, a sorry day in the north of Irehnd.— They are confused enough ; but from these and other sources, it would appear that upwards of twenty persons have lost their lives in different places in the province of Ulster. lam not disposed to defend the conduct of the Catholics, but it must be mani fest to all men that the yeomanry and Orangemen of the north have been the aggressors. In addition to what you will collect from the accompanying let ters, I understand that accounts have been received to-day by Government, stating that four men have been killed at a place (the name of which I have not learned) in the county of Armagh ; and that accounts have been received from Donegal, which represent a part of that county as in a state of frightful com motion. It is reported that two regiments are ordered forthwith to Belfast. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Blacker, K.C,, have been sent to Tipperary, to investigate the late occurrences at Borrisokane. JULY 17.—As a make weight against the san guinary scenes which have occurred, and are perhaps at this moment taking place in the North of Ireland, it was mentioned with great confidence—nay, it is stated as an unquestionable fact—that the house of Lord Dunally, near Nenagh, in the county of Tip perary, was attacked in the open day by " Captain Rock" and a party of his myrmidons, broken open, and robbed of all its arms. I mention this, because in all probability you will read a statement to this effect in the Orange journals which you will receive from this city to-morrow, not because 1 believe it— first, because I think Lord Dunally's would be the last house the country-people would attack; se condly, because if they even had a disposition to do so, it is not probable it would be attempted by daylight; and in the third place, because yesterday was market-day at Nenagh, and the police were al most within cull. The Orangemen of Newry have, it appears, acted in a most outrageous manner, setting at nought the authority of the magistrates and the orders of the Government. The following statement has been compiled from the country papers, and from some letters received in town this morning : " In Belfast business was interrupted throughout the most public places, and the stage-coaches were barely able to get out of town, amidst the din and hubbub. The Larne coach was nearly upset, the pole broken, and the passengers detained for some time, till the damage was repaired. This squabbling was revived on Tuesday, and is of hourly occurrence. " In the adjacent districts things have been much worse. We have received statements from different parts of Tyrone of a very alarming nature; and we hesitate to publish them until they are confirmed. We have heard that many lives have been lost near Stcwartstown, at the Moy, and at Rockstown, near Portglenone. The list of deaths in this dis trict amounts to upwards of 20 ; but we have not sufficient authority to state the number precisely. " The Orangemen paraded through Toome, and fired a succession of vollies over Duncan Roman Catholic chapel, using the most gross and insulting expressions towards the excellent pastor of that house of worship. Indeed in almost every part of Tyrone and Derry, and in the adjoining parts of An trim, the same system of destruction was observed. " In the neighbourhood of Saintfield, the day was ushered in with the beating of drums, and other de monstrations of things as they are.' Early on Monday morning, the green hills and fruitful vallies were heard to resound, not with the morning song of praise,' but with the edifying cry of to hell with the Pope.' On the part of the Roman Catholics there did not appear to be any disposition to render evil for evil. There have been skirmishes between the two parties near Strabane. One Orangeman has been killed, and several dangerously wounded on both sides. In the town of Strabane a fatal affray took place. The Orangemen fired down the streets, and three unoffending young men, who were merely spectators, were shot ; the death of one of them is hourly expected. In the neighbourhood of Cool Island, in the county Tyrone, there were se veral fatal collisions between the Orangemen and Roman Catholics on the 13th inst., and murderous retaliation on both sides. Four men, we have been told, have lost their lives, besides a great number dangerously wounded. A company of the 33d, stationed at Armagh, left that city for the disturbed district on 15 minutes' notice. Report adds, that the artillery from Charlemont have been called out. The reports which we have heard are so vague that we cannot feel warranted in entering into the detail, or vouching for the truth of what has already been stated. One thing, however, is certain, that the state of the country in Fermanagh, and in the districts of Armagh and Tyrone, is so extremely alarming, that the Government is not only warranted but absolutely called on to take prompt and decisive measures for preserving public tranquillity. STRABASE.—On Monday morning, at an early hour (about ten o'clock), the Orangemen of the surrounding country flocked into town in all direc tions, and continued for several hours assembling at the Orange Lodge. Three-mile-hills and Berny hill, distant each from Strabane about three miles, and one from each other, were the scene of skir mishes during the forenoon, between several parties of Orangemen and Roman Catholics. The number of the former were estimated at 3,000, who were well armed with guns, swords, &c.; the latter about 200, armed with bludgeons, stones, and a few, guns. An Orangeman was wounded, and is reported to have died yesterday. A horse belonging to one of the Orange captains was also killed. One of the Catholic party was wounded, we hear not mortally. Several others on either side were slightly wounded during the affray. After having fought for better than an hour, the Orangemen retired towards Stra bane, to join their brethren." THREE O'CLOCK.—I have seen a gentleman who passed through Armagh yesterday, and who lives in the neighbourhood of Cool Island. The affair here appears to have been of a more determined and desperate character than elsewhere. Many of the Catholics were armed as well as the Orange yeomanry. There was a stout resistance opposed to the latter, and several discharges of musketry were exchanged. Upwards of thirty have been killed and wounded, on both sides. The parties appear mutually to have retired, the Catholics to a position on the adjoining hills, and the Orangemen towards Armagh. All the troops in the latter city were ordered to march, and my informant passed several of them on their route. The better part of the farmers are quitting their residences, and moving towards the towns. The people in this part of the country are quitting their homes, and betaking themselves to the mountainous districts. The cows are running about wild, the women being afraid to go to the fields to milk them. How long is this to last ? Why will not the King disarm the yeomanry, and proclaim martial law ? (FRO)1 ANOTHER CORRISIFONDENT.) DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.-It is due to the Exe cutive to state, that a fortnight ago nearly 300 letters were despatched from the Castle of Dublin to the Magistracy of the north, enjoining them to prevent any illegal processions on the 12th instant, and these letters were followed and accompanied by others of a private and unofficial character, strongly urging that the personal influence of Magi. strates should be zealously devoted to induce these factions to desist from prosecuting the arrangements which were known to be in progress for assembling and parading with the insignia of their clubs : the effect of these injunctions and exhortations is now apparent in the public assemblage of seven different bands of Orangemen in as many places in the north of Ireland. I am led to believe that the accounts published in the newspapers are, in some instances, exagge rated. The fact, however, is as clear as noon-day, that the Orangemen met in bands and carried their I usual banners; that, as might be expected, they came into hostile collision w'th the peasantry; that blood was spilt in these horrid encounters; and that they avow their determinltion to re-assemble in like manner on the 12th of August. A stranger here cannot imagine Itim.cif in a community where peace prevails : the newsvenders are crying, " B—y news from the north—list of the killed and wounded." I I am bound to tell you frankly at once, that out of the Duke of Cumberland's letter to the Earl of Enniskillen has this recent spirit of violence been re-animated. The influential Orangemen are informed from London that the Duke of Welling ton's Government is unstable ; and I am assured, upon authority in which I place implicit reliance, that there is a deep-laid plan among the Orange men to keep alive this system of irritation, which they know full well will be resisted, at the risk of their lives, by the Roman Catholic peasantry, for the purpose of inducing a belief in England that the settlement of the Catholic question was a mere pretext, and that there exists a deep rooted spirit of insubordination among the bulk of the population of Ireland, which is only to be appeased by the overthrow of the established church, and the repeal of the union. I cannot trust myself with the rumours at each side which the post of this day has brought, both from the south as well as from the north of Ireland. It is in vain to sink the fact, that the Catholics, in Fermanagh in particularly, are armed, and prepared to come to issue with the Orangemen on any and every occasion. I am just informed, by a letter from a Magistrate on the spot, that crowds of them have fled from their homes, and actually encamped in a wild district, near Florence Court, regularly pre pared for a campaign in the open country. I can add, that the executive functionaries in the Castle are in close conclave. A Privy Council is sum moned for two o'clock to-morrow at the Phcenix park. It is intended at once to send troops into the north, to institute a rigorous inquiry into the recent outrages, and to put down with a strong hand the meetings at both sides. I have reason to believe that a proclamation to this effect will be issued after the Council to-morrow. LITERATURE. A SERMON PREACHED IN ST. MARY'S CHURCH, BEVERLEY, Jur , : 18, 1829. BY THE REV. J. COURTNEY, M.A. This is a useful and practical discourse, whose doctrines, strictly orthodox, are brought down to the level of common sense. Its chief objects arc to recommend a decent and orderly simpli city, and to dissuade from undue pedantry or in tolerance, in all matters appertaining to religion. We have perused it with much pleasure. BURKE'S PEERAGE. 1629. We have just glanced over the present Number of this very useful publication, v hich is full, and correct, and comprehensive, to a degree far sur passing any of its predecessors. The type is very distinct and legible, the heraldic engravings ex cellent. All the late creations arc given. On Saturday afternoon an inquest was taken before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., at the Buffalo's Head, New-road, Islington, on the bodies of JOHN WARD, aged 26, and JOHN LEOPARD, aged 28. Mr. HENRY KNAPP, of No. 40, Cirencester-place, New-road, builder, stated, that the deceased men were in his employ, and had been for upwards of three years. On the 4th inst., they were em ployed in repairing a drain at the Marylebone workhouse. He was giving them directions to open it, and in digging by the side of the cess-pool to examine the cause of the stoppage, a lighted candle was procured for the purpose of examining it. Ile had previously desired LEOPARD to wait until he (witness) had examined it himself, but instead of so doing, LEOPARD put the light to the bole, contrary to his orders, when the air confined in the drain instantly took fire, and a great rush of flame followed. The shirts of the deceased men took fire, and to avoid further injury they threw themselves on the ground. Witness assisted in getting them out, but not before they were burnt in a shocking manner, and their shirts burnt off their backs. They lan guished, one 12 days, and the other 13 days. Verdict— " Accidental Death." We are a little too apt, even in this common sense country, to permit actresses and opera dancers to take liberties with our purses and trample upon our hearts; witness the dilapidated fortunes and despairing affections of many young gentlemen of fashion and no fashion, of the present day. But we never carry matters to the length which they occasionally reach among our flighty and imagi native neighbours, the Germans—(they are the ideal of a flighty nation now-a. days—not the French), who lately, at one of their public places, insisted on Mademoiselle SON TAG stepping upon a temporary pavement, composed of their outspread hands, the stones on which she would other wise Lave trodden being slightly damp ! These gentlemen had heard of our own RALEIGH, and his velvet cloak ; but the imitation was but a vulgar one after all ; for RALEIGH'S cloak was, in all probability, the better part of his fortune, and was necessarily sacrificed to his gallantry; whereas the hands in question were certainly not the worse for the contract. By the by, from what we Lave had oc casion to observe of German gentlemen's hands, we judge that Mademoiselle SONTAG (who is evidently very dainty in her chaussurc) must have had to pick her way.— Court Journal. " Shortly after, we met a kangea with an English Jack ; it turned out to be that of Mr. L--, an English traveller ; we dined together : I found he was a medical amateur, and had been physicking the Arabs be yond the second cataract. I was surprised to see his crew of Nubians excessively pale and meagre; and still more so to learn that every man of his had suffered from a conta gious malady contracted in the unwholesome neighbour hood of Kenneh. Mr. L very humanely under took to cure them all : small mercurial applications were judged necessary ; but Mr. L confessed to me, that small as these were, the effects were terrible, and his crew was already toothless. I asked to see the medicine, and, to my horror, I found that, owing to a mistake (not of Mr. L 's, but of the person who wrote the label on the medicine), the corrosive ointment of nitrate of mer cury had been employed instead of the simple unction. Turks and Arabs take a great deal of killing ; no others could have survived this cure."—Madden's Travels. Little progress in hay-making has been yet made throughout the Principality, in consequence of the daily showers which have fallen for several weeks. The crops have improved, and are fully ripe (indeed in many parts too ripe) for the scythe. The crops of barley and oats have much improved lately, yet they are thin in some districts. The wheats look well.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. LIVERPOOL, JULY 18.—We have had no animation in our Cotton market to-day, and the sales amount to only about 1,200 bags. Among the subscribers to a newly-established hospital, are Mr. HEADACHE and Mr. FEVER, with whom it may be supposed that sympathy has something to do with the matter.—Morning Paper. NORTHERN YACHT CLUB.—On Thursday, the yachts assembled at Ardrossan, and before the evening there were 15 or 16 fine yachts in the harbour. On Friday seven yachts started a few minutes after 10 o'clock for the Ardrossan Cup ; but after being out for about two hours, during which time it was a dead calm, and there being no appearance of any wind, the parties agreed to re turn and recommence the match the following morning. Accordingly these vessels started on Saturday at nine in the morning, with a fine light breeze at W.S.W., and after a fine and closely contested race, the Black Dwarf reached the winning point at Ardrossaa at five minutes past one, followed in one minute by the Little Paddy, and in five minutes more by the Juverna. The other vessels arrived in the order in which they started, except the Ariel, which got aground on the Lady Isle, where she remained for five hours, but got off without any material damage on the flowing of the tide. Immediately after the return of the yachts from the sailing match, the Commodore got under weigh along with the yachts, and having formed a line of 16 sail, proceeded for Largs, after passing through Millport Bay, which they reached about nine P.m. Several yachts joined on Saturday evening and Monday, and there are now upwards 0f25 yachts lying at Largo, and eight or ten more are expected. —Edinburgh Evening Courant. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S FETE.-- The above Nobleman gave a public breakfast on Saturday, at his Lordship's villa in the Regent's-park. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE and the other members of the Royal Family were received, on their arrival, with the customary honours, the band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), in their rich full uniform. being sta tioned on the lawn. At five o'clock, after the distinguish ed visiters had viewed the pleasant apartments of the man sion and the grounds, as far as the weather would permit, the discharge of 100 pieces of artillery announced the ban quet. During the repast the military band continued to perform the most choice pieces of martial and other music. The entertainments terminated with a discharge of brilliant fire-works. The KING'S fishing parties have been resumed. His MAJESTY, except on State occasions, dines early, re mains but a short time at dinner, and then resumes his piscatory amusements until dusk, when he returns to the Cottage, where tea and music constitute the pleasures of the evening. His MAJESTY retires to rest early.—Morning Chronicle. It is confidently asserted in the medical circles, that the Marquis of Douao is about to share his rank and fortune with the accomplished daughter of an eminent son of /Esculapius, who was the private and con fidential attendant of the Duke of WELLINGTON during the whole of the Peninsular war. The fair enchantress, Miss HOME, has for several years been a frequent visiter at Apsley House, and during these occasions the attachment was formed. The Noble Premier is said to have given his consent, provided his son shall have the same matrimonial inclination at the end of two years, and more than one year of the term of probation has already expired. The youthful Marquis, however, carried on several deep flirta tions during the late Continental tour, but report avers they were merely pour passer le temps.—Morning Paper. KEAN is sojourning at his seat, " the Isle of Bute," and is (as they say in St, Giles's classics) rather shakey. His Secretary, it is said, has been dismissed, in consequence of disputes arising out of money matters in Dublin. We are sorry to hear that poor Mrs. KEAN is in a very ill state of health, and of circumstances. Her son, however (to his honour be it mentioned), assists her to the utmost of his ability.—Sunday Paper. Young KEAN is performing at Belfast with Mungo KEAN, who has played at the West London and the Coburg Theatres, under the title of the " American Roscius." The sable gentleman plays the " sooty moor" in Othello, and KEAN " lago." Mademoiselle SONTAG had the modest assur ance to demand the sum of 3501. per night to sing at the Dublin Theatre. The manager, however, (in these times of " piping peace" and universal depression), did not think proper to engage her upon such moderate terms! ! Morning Paper. Mademoiselle SONTAG, her sister, and the Baroness de LEmEwrz, accompanied by Mr. CABANA, and other friends, visited the Bank of England on Thursday last. After being introduced to the Governor, they were accompanied by Mr. MELLISH through the establishment. The same party proceeded afterwards to the India House, where they were met by Sir 'WILLIAar YOUNG, Bart., and conducted over the Museum, Library, &c. The ap pearance of this celebrated singer in the city collected a considerable crowd.—Morning Paper. Miss MITFORD, the successful author of Rienzi, has nearly finished a tragedy, which will be acted at Drury-lane Theatre in the early part of the ensuing season. Miss PimLirs and Mr. C. YOUNG will sustain the principal characters. Miss PHILLIPS is, we under stand, at present pursuing her profession in the country theatres with success.—Morning Paper. Signor YELL UTI is about to be engaged at the Dublin Theatre, and the circumstance has excited con siderable speculations, and given rise to many conjectures and witty observations from the boys of the " Green Isle." LIVERPOOL, JULY 18.—Fair business has been done in cotton this week by the trade, but as Ameri can descriptions are offering mere freely, last week's prices are barely supp orte d, espec i a ll y i n the inferior qualiti es , which are *d. per lb. lower, and at this decline some sales have been made in Maranham and Egyptian. 300 Up land, 600 Egyptian, and 600 Brazil, are taken for exporta tion ; and 2,000 Sea Island, 300 Demerara, and 300 Bengal, are advertised for public sale on the 24th instant. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 18.—The Marshal Bennett transport, Lieutenant Spencer, agent, arrived here on Tuesday, in thirty-one days from Barbadoes, and twenty-six days from St. Kitts, with naval and mili tary stores and invalids (the latter under the care of Dr. P. O'Callaghan, of the 27th Regiment), and ten surgeons from the different medical establish ments which have been reduced, in consequence of the improved state of health of the Islands. The crops had suffered considerably from a most unusual drought, scarcely any rain having fallen for the last nine months. Lieutenant-Gcneral Sir James Lyon had just returned to Barbadoes from a tour of it.- speetion, after an absence of two months. Extract of a letter from Sierra Leone, dated May 12, says—" The rains have just set in with their usual violence, but I am happy to say, that with one exception nothing but a few mild cases of fever have occu►red amongst the resident Europeans with the change of season. His Majesty's ships Medina, llecla, and Eden, are lying in the river. The Me dina from a cruise, the Ilecla pursuing her survey mg engagements, and the Eden for provisions. Captain Owen, of the Eden, is in good health, and brought some favourable reports from Fernando Po. Commodore Collier, in the Sybille, has just sent up a schooner with 185 slaves on board." The Pallas, 42, Captain Fitzehuence, sailed on Wednesday, for Calcutta, with the Earl of Dal housie (appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in the Last Indies) and the Bishop of Cal cutta. The Pallas will touch at Madeira, and there remain for the protection of the British interests, until the arrival of the Seringapatam, when she will proceed to her destination. On this service the Seringapatam will be employed until relieved by some other man of war. The Briton, 46, Hon. Capt. Gordon, will, in all probability, relieve her. The Helicon, 10 guns, has been broken up in the River; and Captain Talbot, the officers, and crew of that ship, have been turned over to the Algerine, 10 guns, which sloop will be launched at Chatham in about three weeks. The thiyx, 10, Lieut. Boteler, sailed on Thurs day, on a cruise. The Lightning steam-vessel pro ceeded yesterday to the Eastward. A Court Martial was yesterday held on board the Victory (flag ship), in the Harbour, of which Capt. A. W. Schomberg, of his Majesty's ship Melville, was President, to try Lieut. Sison, his Officers, and ship's company, far the loss of his Majesty's packet Myrtle, on the Ragged Islands, off the coast of Nova Scotia, on her voyage to Halifax, when the Court determined that the loss of the Myrtle was occasioned by an unexpected western current, and that blame was imputable to Lieut. Sison and Mr. Nicholas Hill, the Acting Master, in not having hove the lead, knowing their contiguity to the shore, and therefore severely reprimanded Lieut. Sison and the Master. The rest of the crew were acquitted. APPOINTMENTS.— Commander Shepheard, to the Barham ; Mr. W. White (3), to be Master of the Astrea; Mr. Windeycr to be Purser of the Ordi nary at Chatham; Mr. Fry, Purser of the William and Mary yacht, will act as Purser of the ships in Ordinary in the River Thames. By virtue of the recent Act passed for the better regulating and managing the affairs of Greenwich Hospital, all applications for the refund of unclaimed shares of prize-money paid into that institution must -be made to the Treasurer of the Navy; and the unclaimed and forfeited shares of prize-money, &c. will in future be paid into his hands, instead of being added to the funds of the Hospital, as hi therto. The books of the prize department, late of Greenwich Hospital, are now removed to the Navy Pay Office. The Plymouth Regatta takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday next, and that at Torquay on the Friday following. It has been stated in the London Papers that a fraud in the Revenue has been brought to light in unpacking the cases of which the cargo of the Cam Brea Castle consisted, and that brick-bats and other rubbish had been found in some packages that purported to contain glass and other commo dities, on which a heavy drawback is allowed.— We have made diligent inquiries at our Custom house arid of the brokers, and have also seen nearly the whole of the packages and their conteuts,and we find that the cases and description exactly cor respond with the Manifest, and that their contents are strictly conformable to the invoices furnished to the Underwriters ; and that the cargo, in the whole, is adapted, without collusion, to the Indian markets. PLYMOUTH, JULY 18.—The Athol, 28, Captain A. Gordon, for the coast of Africa, and the Favo rite, Captain Harrison, for the Mediterranean, both at Portsmouth, are expected to be ready to sail about the end of the present month. The Portland, 52, double-banked frigate, has been this week brought down the harbour, and is expected to be commissioned, to replace the Bar ham, lately on shore in the West Indies. By advices from Curacoa, to the 11th June, we learn that after several attempts it was found im possible to heave down the Barham, to repair her main keel, which is damaged, but they were to make another trial. In Ilamoaze—Britannia, Kent, Triticulo, Nim rod, Lightning, Lyra, Reynard, Antelope tender, and Meteor steam-vessel. LOCKE. In our extracts from the Life of Locice, we acci dentally omitted the following letter, near the last that Locke ever wrote. It is addressed to his re lative and executor, Peter King, afterwards Lord Chancellor King : " Oates, June 1, 1701. " I have received no letters from you since the 20th. I remember it is the end of a term, a busy time with you, and you intend to be here speedily, which is better than writing at a distance. Pray be sure to order your matters so as to spend all the next with me; as far as I can impartially guess, it will be the last week I am ever like to have with you; for if I mistake not very much, I have very little time left in the world. This comfortable, and to me usually restorative season of the year, has no effect upon me for the better; on the contrary, my short ness of breath, and uneasiness, every day increases; my stomach, without any visible cause, sensibly decays, so that all appearances concur to warn me that the dissolution of this cottage is not far off. Refuse not, therefore, to help me to pass some of the last hours of my life as easy as may be, in the conversation of one who is not only the nearest, but the dearest to me of any man in the world. I have a great many things to talk to you, which I can talk to nobody else about. I therefore desire you again, deny not this to my affection. I know nothing at such a time so desirable, and se useful, as the conversation of a friend one loves and relies on. It is a week free from business, or, if it were not, perhaps you would have no reason to repent the be stowing a day or two upon upon me. Make haste, therefore, on Saturday, and be here early ; I long till I see you. I writ to you in my last to bring some cherries with you, but fear they will be troublesome to you ; and these things that entertain the senses have lost with me a great part of their relish; there fore give not yourself any trouble about them ; such desires are usually but the fancy seeking pleasure in one thing, when it has missed it in another, and seeks in vain for the delight which the indisposition of the 1 body has put an end to. When I have your corn parry I shall forget these kind of things. " I am, dear cousin, your most affectionate, " J. LOCKE." Madame VESTItIS has leturned from Dublin, having received 7001. for twelve nights' exhibition. Her engagement, however, was a bad speculation for the manager; inasmuch as the receipts of the house, for three nights, amounted to 1551., out of which Madame VESTRIS received 1501. Her benefit was a bumper, and the Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND attended in her own private box. Sunday Paper. THE ARMY. It was erroneously stated that Lieutenant Shuekhurgh, 32d Regiment, superintending the Carlow recruiting dis trict, was removed to Cavan ; no such removal has taken place.—Dublin Evening Mail. The Ist Royal Dragoon Guards, now lying in Hahne huracks, Manchester, and the Foot Guards, were reviewed by Sir H. Bouverie, the General of the district, on Kersall moor, on the 18th inst. The 24th Regiment of Foot un derwent inspection the day previous. The 28th, 68th, and 74th Regiments are about to re turn to England from foreign service. The 53d is under orders for Gibraltar. The 24th, 34th, and 65th are also shortly to proceed to garrison some of the colonies. The Ist division of the 17th Regiment of Foot will commence its march from the northern district, on Monday neat, for Chatham, and the remainder will shortly follow for the same station. Detachments belonging to several regiments of Infantry embarked on Saturday at Deptford on board the Morby, for New South Wales, as a guard. The let Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards hits received orders to embark, on the arrival of the Ist Battalion of tl,e Coldstreams in Dublin, for Brist 4, and march' to London.

A &ling Match took place on Saturday evening at Hammersmith, of a most interesting description, between twenty-four v;orking Peter boats, owned by fishermen, for various prites in sovereigns, given by the Ladies and Gentlemen of Chiswick and Hammersmith. Twenty-four Peter-boats having taken their respective stations at Hammersmith-bridge, the signal was given, when they all started to sail round a boat from the south ward, moored below Kew-bridge, and back past a boat moored for that purpose near Hammersmith-bridge. On the boats getting in trim and going off; a more interesting scene could not be witnessed on the Thames. The Countess Macartney took the lead, followed by the Providence, and after a contest which afforded great gra tification to the admirers of sailing, and in which the boats passed and re-passed each other several times, they came in thus :—Providence, T. Humphreys, Hammersmith, first; Countess Macartney, Moses Gibson, Chiswick, second; George and William, W. Malcolm, Harmer smith, third; Henry, William White, Chiswick, fourth ; Richard and Sarah, 11. Pearce, Strand, fifth ; Owners' Delight, W. Bolton, Chiswick, sixth ; Active, S. Earlam, Hammersmith, seventh; The remaining seven teen came in shortly after each other. A purse of about twenty sovereigns were distributed by the Committee, at the Ship Inn, among the first six boats. The rain, at short intervals, came down in torrents, and consequently prevented many witnessing the match. EXTRAORDINARY WAGERS. Wagers have been laid at Maestricht, between some re spectable merchants there, to a considerable amount, that pigeons taken from thence to London, would, when let loose here, reach Maestricht in six hours. Forty-two pigeons were brought over in the Attwood steam-packet on Thursday last, about noon, and were marked i❑ the course of that day by a person connected with the Dutch Embassy here, and yesterday morning at twenty-six minutes past eight o'clock, the time agreed upon, they were let loose, and proceeded on their aerial voyage. The principal wager is for 10,0 f 0 guilders ; and it any one of these pigeons arrives in six hours, the wager is won. They belong to different persons, forming a society at Maestricht. The first bird that arrives, even after the six hours, obtains for its owner a prize of a small gold pigeon; the second, a silver ditto ; the third, a dozen silver knives and forks; besides other prizes. The distance is about 260 English miles, in a direct line over Ramsgate and Ostend. The man who came over with the pigeons offered to bet the value of a cask of wine that one of them would be at Meastricht by half-past twelve o'clock yesterday; the rain was against the performance, but the wind was favourable. The result cannot be known until next week. CHARGE OF STABBING AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. James Waling, the watchman, who was acquitted at the last Old Bailey Sessions of the capital charge of maliciously stabbing with intent to kill Lydia Goddaid, but detained for the minor offence, was placed at the bar on Saturday at the Middlesex Sessions, upon an indictment charging him with a common assault upon the said Lydia Goddard. The facts of this case having been recently de tailed at length, it will be sufficient to state, that the prisoner, without any other cause than the pro secutrix's desiring a man, named Perry, with whom she lived, and who, as well us the prisoner, was a watchman belonging to St. Pancras, to leave his company, went over to her, and, in the coolest man ner possible, pulled from his pocket a butcher's knife, about six inches in length, and plunged it iNto her left breast. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said he really did not know A ybat to do with the prisoner. After consulting tvith some of the County Magistrates, the Chairman sen tenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment, and to be kept to hard labour. The prisoner upon hearing the sentence of the Court, thrust his hand into the breast of his coat and pulled out a breakfast knife, with the other hand he quickly drew down his neck handkerchief, and was just in the act of cutting the carotid artery, when his arm was seized by a fellow-prisoner and Havel], a headborough of Battlebridge; a posse of constables, together with Mr. Vickery, the Gover nor of the House of Correction, and Mr. Harles, the chief constable of Clerkenwell, quickly surrounded him, and the knife was forced from his hand. His arms were then secured behind his back by means of a pair of handcuffs. The consternation of the persons in Court was excessive. The prisoner's sentence was then changed from hard labour to solitary confinement. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.—We have, within these three last days, had a few failures, but yester day one was announced of considerable magnitude. It is an American house of some standing, and the amount is said to he from eighty to one hundred thousand pounds. I regret to add, that almost the whole of it will lie ii - this town. It is expected this failure will cause several others. The house in question was a considerable shipping house, and bore as good a name as most of the United States mercantile establishments here. We are in a state of some alarm of course.—Correspondent of Morning sidvertuer.
