ARRIVALS AT MADRAS.—The Albion, Ralph, CHRONOMETERS. The annual public trial of these beautiful pieces of mechanism closed on the 31st of July, when the prize was awarded to chronometer, Dent, No. 114 ; its variation between any two months during the year is 0.54, being a trifle more than half a second ! The reward, though now comparatively small, answers the proposed end—the gradual improvement of the chronome ter. The utility of the public annual trial may he estimated from the fact, that no fewer than 344 have been entered in competition for the prize since its establishment in 1822, before which period the chronometer•maker knew but little of the performance of his own production. The first year's trial detected the imperfections which existed, and which have not since re curred. On the contrary, the maker has had the advantage of watching narrowly the progress of his machine, and by this means of gaining an experience which otherwise would not have been obtained. Although longitude has occupied the attention of the English and most -o4lier Euro pean governments, and induced them to offer and bestow the most liberal premiums, every effort was insufficient to produce a satisfactory performance ; and to the adoption of this annual trial we are, no doubt, indebted for the improved results. 20nn Quarters of WHEAT, , t ° weigh 601 b. to the Deptford agmhel her ancient freedom and renown. Is this the wtv to mark the grave of the first poet of his age ? Author of Childe Ha, old, indeed Is that the only triumph of his genius ? or is it that those of his family who erected this tablet are ashamed of his works ? and do they seek to sink his poetical renown in the ela borate recital of his wild, but glorious attempt in Greece ? It was even more than a year be fore this stone was put up, and the grave was as unmarked as that of any village peasant. I oly 7 served in the visitors' book a powerful remon strance from the pen of Bowring on this shame ful neglect. That gentleman will see in how paltry a manner the duty which he so ably en forced has been complied with ; and it would be well worthy of him to communicate with Mr. Moore, and to rescue the grave of Byron from so inefficient a memorial.

According to one of the rules, no maker is allowed more than two chronometers upon trial during the year ; but it is generally known that more than that number have been entered by different individuals in fictitious names, or in the names of persons neither owning or con structing them—it is therefore to be hoped that proper steps will be taken to prevent a recur rence of this abuse, as it destroys the fairness of competition, to the detriment of the greater number of the depositors. Yet it pleased God so to bless the honest endeavours Of the sail Richard Lord Byron, That he re-purchased part of his ancient inheritance, Which he left to his posterity, With a laudable memory for his great piety and charity.

Pease dull. Some small parcels of Dublin new Oats and Bere, of fair quality, have arrived, which were disposed of, the former at 235. a 245., and the latter at 2Ss. 6d. a 295. per boll. These rates cannot be expected to be maintained. TE.—Fn From I 592 Wheat, per barrel 20 stone 26 0 213 Bete l6 stone 12 0 DUBLIN MARKET N 0 Barley 16 stone 0 2,367 Oats... l4 stone' 10 0 12,506 Cwt.

Half-quartern, sd. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 15. Last night, at about ten o'clock, a most appalling accident occurred on our river, between Netley Fort and the residence of Sir Arthur Paget, which has thrown two respectable families into the greatest state of affliction. Four young men, Mr. Missing, linen-draper, Mr. Baker, grocer, Mr. Pegler, son,pf Mr. Pegler, silversmith, and another person of the name of Brown, had been to Cowes Regatta, and were returning in the Red Rover, a pleasure boat belonging to Pegler, "under a heavy press of can vass, when a squall upset the boat, and the whole party were precipitated into the water, and two of them (Missing and Baker) were drowned. The survivors observed them rise once, and Missing ex claimed, "For • God's sake, Pegler, save my life ;" but in a moment they sunk, and were thus separated from their friends for ever. Peg ler and Brown were picked up, in au exhausted state, by some of Mr. Fleming's yacht's crew, who witnessed the accident, and were within a short distance when it occurred; the- bodies of the others could not be found, nor have they yet been picked up. We know of no families in which a similar catastrophe could be more severely felt than it must be in those of the two young men who have been thus prematurely deprived of life, for they were each very steady young men and much respected. Mr. Missing had scarcely attained the age of 20, but was nevertheless the eldest of a large orphan family, for whose benefit he conducted in a very creditable manner an exten sive drapery business, and every confidence was re posed in him by his father's executors, of whom the other unfortunate young man, Mr. Baker, was one, and also first cousin to Mr. Missing. Mr. Baker was an only son, about 23 years of age, and had not long since commenced business as a grocer, with every prospect of success. The affliction which this distressing circumstance has caused in the families is indeed heart-rending. We do sincerely hope that this accident may act as a caution, and put an end to the foolish practice here with young men (who think themselves clever, and would have others think them so too), attempting the management of their boats in a river which, from its locality, is always subject to squalls of wind. The watermen's boats are safe, and the men experienced; their charges, too, are moderate—which reduces it simply to this, that a day's excursion in a boat should not he considered a day's pleasure without a waterman be ing on board.—Hampshire Advertiser.

WILLIAM HUGHES, which was instituted in this Court in 1525, was decided. The defendant, it appears, was incumbent of the united pa rishes of Kellinick and Maglass, county Wexford, and the • charges were blasphemy, habitual profaneness of language in cursing and swearing, and drunkenness, lewd, immoral, and depraved practices. The Court was occupied several days with the investigation, and after hearing a great deal of evidence, decided, that though the testimony did not warrant a conviction of the impugnant, yet that even on his own showing there was ample ground for his repre hension, and therefore dismissed the suit without costs. The old woman noticed in our last is not an inhabitant of i'delksham ; she was born near Bristol ; her maiden name was ANN DIKES. At 20 years of age she was married t•) SAMUEL HALES of Bitton, where she has lived ever since. Her husband died about two years ago, aged 102 years. She came to this city to visit her eldest daughter, aged 80. The old woman receives 2s. 6d. per week from the parish of Bitton. The descendants of this patriarchal pair are four daughters, all widows, 32 grand-children, 30 great-grand-children, and two great. great-grand children ; the two latter are dead.—Bath Journal. A large barge passed through Newbury, on the Kennett, last week, loaded with curious exotics, among which were orange and lemon trees, some with their fruit ripe, and others in bloom, besides a choice col lection of valuable and scarce shrubs. They appeared moving forest of the most fragrant productionszof the East, and were attended by a native. They were going to the seat of the Marquis of AMESBURY, at Burixtge.—Bir ntingham Journal, Two new species of the olive have been (748 7 covered in the southern district of the Crimea; this disco very will render it practicable to rear this useful tree in much niore northerly T climes that bas been hitherto pos sible.

This immense oak gives you an expectation of antique grandeur, and of old and extensive woods, which, I am sorry to say, will not be realised, the plantations within the demesne and on the adjacent hills being all of modern date. The entrance is a cumbrous gate, swinging on stout but tasteless pillars, and the first glance within the avenue shows you the desolation which, before the present liberal possessor bad it, this place had been consigned to. The road is little better than a bridle track, overrun with weeds ; and it is bordered, almost to the Abbey, with patches of fern, .or broken _ into sandy spots. Young plantations are scattered about ; but theband of improvement comes very and the progress of decay outruns it. After ex ploring about a mile and a half. of this unpro mising avenue, you are relieved by an extensive prospect of open country. The hills in the dis tance are all topped with timber, and the whole bears an air of seclusion and wildness quite in association with one's feelings on entering the place. At a turn of the plantation the Abbey opens to the view, standing on the borders of a lake of some extent, about which small buildings are erected, consistent with the architectures of the chief building. This is not the principal front ; but in former 'days it was so, and it preserves the strict air of the ancient monastic edifice. The entrance to the house is at this side ; and, although it is much neglected, Colonel Wild man, the present owner, intends to improve it, and to bring . a new avenue to bear upon it. On entering, you are at first admitted to a banquet ing -hall, which Colonel Wildman is engaged with, and which will occupy the entire front at this side. It bears an interest, as being the dining-room of Lord Byron, and connected with a small room where Lord Byron loved to sit and gaze upon the lake, and where his arms over the mantel-piece are preserved. You are then conducted over the principal rooms, fitted up with magnificence and taste ; but I am sorry to say there is very little to remind one of the fame of its last owner. The only records which I perceived in the house are the pictures of his dogs..--a wolf-dog, and his favourite, Boatswain ; an ordinary bust, and a portrait by Phillips, in the state drawing-room ; the drinking cup, made out of a skull, mounted in silver, and inscribed with verses. In thegarden stands the monument erected to his dog, with the lines familiar to every reader ; and these are the only traces of his immortal name. Colonel Wildman has renewed the prin cipal front .of the Abbey at immense expellee, reclaimed the gardens, and he is now engaged in designs of vast extent. When he purchased the property the cattle fed in the gardens, and the demesne was in a state of desolation. The pleasure grounds are now laid out in the most favourable manner. Artificial water (if the phrase be right) is introduced before the prin cipal front ; patches of flowers are happily dis posed ; and the tree grown from an acron planted by Lord Byron, marked by a seat around it, is, introduced in a favourable point of view. .TIVQ: burlesque figures of a fiddler and a piper are placed on high columns at each side of the draw ing-room great window, and in the mast marked station of the principal front._ Not being aware of any connection between these .sorry figures and the name of Byron, I inquired why they were so prominently placed ? But those who. showed the Abbey could not tell -; and 4 was elsewhere said that the clerk of the works, having discovered some relics lAe them among the ruins, diTlayed his judgment in thus riavin ,•• the copied church of H ~ • and erected. nal g where the family vault of the Byrons is, present; an unsightly ob ject in a most sech \ ded village, to which one has access by roost vile roads, about three miles dis tant from Newstead Abbey. It is hare the urn, containing the heart and .the brains of Lord Byron, are disgraced (as I must say) by t t he paltry memorials erected more in his mockery than in his honour. Tile vauit is under the chief end of the Church ; and the access to it is by the removal of a flag, with a large iron ring attached, Here nine of his family are laid—wt Daughter to Sir George Booth, Knight and Bironet, Who appointed this monument to be erected To the memory of her dear husband ; And for her great piety and goodness, Acquired a name better than That of sons and daughters. The remains of Lord Byron's mother are also in the same vault, but no monu men t h as b een . erected. The coffin bears this inscription : Crede Byron. The Hon. Catherine Gordon Byron, • Of Gight, Mother of George Lord Byron, And lineal descendant of the Earl of Huntley, and Lady Jean Stuart, Daughter of King James the First of Scotland, Died in the 46th year of her age, August 1,.1811. We made several inquiries in the neighbour hood about the habits of Lord Byron in his youth, or when he was last a resident in the Abbey ; but we found no one, even in appear ance, the least interested in his memory. As the property has passed from his family, ,the re— collection of the family seems to pass away ; and, in a few years, tile seat of his birth, and of his. eternal rest,* will be the only places where he will be forgotten. , 4 Where, cold and unbonourea, his reikaes are hid." THE CONVICT BROWN-ORDERED FOR EXECUTION ON MONDAY NEXT. James Brown was convicted for committing a daring burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Newton, at Stepney, on the night of the 21st of April last. The evidence in support of the charge was to the following effect : —On the night of the robbery, the daughter of Mr. New.: ton was awoke by a noise in the house—she called her father, who went down stairs, and found that robbers had entered the house by cutting a panel out of the back door with a centre bit ; several articles of wearing apparel, and a new hat, belonging to Mr. Newton, had been carried off; a variety of property was strewed about the ground, and some of it was lying in the yard, near to which Mr. Newton's dog was discovered quite dead ; the faithful animal had been beaten about the head with a large crow bar, which the thieves had left be. hind them. A watchman named Andrews, on the following morning, stated to Mr. Newton, that he had seen two suspicious characters lurk ing about the premises on the night of the rob bery, and he swore that the prisoner was one of those men. Five days afterwards two police officers took Mr. Newton to the George public house, in George-yard, Whiteehapel, where they found the prisoner playing at cards, and on his head was•a hat whicli Mr. Newton swore was taken from his house on the night of the robbery. A gentleman coming out of the King's Bench a few days ago, found some difficulty in pressing his way out, and coming too much in contact with a, barrister's gown, the lawyer exclaimed, "Do mind, don't tear me to pieces."—" No, ,Sir" said the gentle,,nlin, "that is your business, not mine." • FORCE OF GENItr4,--COLIVER CROMWELL, who never fought s, - battle that he did not win, was 42 years old before 14 entered the army ; and his contempo rary indeed the nine year with himself) eke itn moatal BLAKE, who stands in the very first rank of our captains and pat iota, and may be considered us the founder of the system of naval tactics adopted eller his time, and who was the first of our co:nmandeta vrhu ventured to at tack a battery with ships, vas in his bOth year when he first went to sea,—Librar*i of Entertaining Knowledge.
