Yesterday the show-yard was visited by a very respectable class of comp lny, who, from their ex aminations into the merits of the several animaig, appeared to take a more than ordinary interest in the exhibition. Among the company were one or two noblemen of the highest rank, and their attendance to view this show has caused much gratitication to the agriculturists who hare so zealously supported the Club. The display of new and useful improvements are as numerous as usual. Mr. John Hunt exhibited a very useful and practical horse-machine for distri buting ground bone into the soil with the seeds, in six rows at a time, so as to gain the greatest pos sible effect from that useful species of manure. Mr. Bailey, Mr. Marryott, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Parkes, had each an appropriate assortment of new articles required for the cultivation of the soil. Messrs. Gibbs and Son, Messrs. Sinclair and Co., and Mr. Phillips, each bad very numerous and fine speci mens of seeds, roots, and samples of useful yet rare vegetables, well worthy the agriculturist's notice ; and Thos. Edgington showed beautiful samples of rick-cloths, tarpaulines, &c. The Club held a meeting in the Committee-room, t the yard, Lord Althorp in the Chair. The Mem bers saw no reason materially to alter the present year's bill of premiums; but in consequence of Smithfield Market being altered from Friday to Thursday, they have decided to have their Show altered in conformity with that arrangement; and also the Members decided, as their funds were ra pidly on the increase, even this year to present silver medals, with appropriate devices on tach, to the breeder of the prize animals in Class 1., and to the breeders in the Ist prizes in Classes 11. and 111., and hereafter to continue giving these medals to the breeders of the Ist prizes in each of their Classes. The new Members elected were :—Samtiel Craw ley, Esq., William J. Dunkley, Esq., Mr. Charles Nottage, Mr. Samuel Bennett, Mr. Richard Row land, Mr. John Bunt, Peter Allix, Esq., Mr. Baker, Mr. Thomas Umbers, Mr. Thomas Inskip, Charles Leigh, Esq., Sir James Graham, Bart., Mr. Yates, and James T. Senier, Esq. Much other routine business was gone through, which was concluded with a vote of thanks to . their President, for the zeal and talent he had displayed in the Chair. The Meeting broke up after dark, and it had a pleasing effect to cast an eye down the yard, shining as it was under the brilliancy of the gas, with numerous company viewing the animals. It continued crowded till a late hour. MACBETH. (From the Cabinet Cgclopcedia.) PART, HISTORY-SCOTLAND-BY SIR WALTER SCOTT Malcolm died peaceably in 1033, and was succeeded by "The gracious Duncan," the same who fell by the ponial d of Macbeth. On read ing these names every reader must feel as if brought from darkness into the blaze of noon day ; so familiar are we with the personages whom we last named, and so clearly and dis tinctly we recall the events in which they are in t erested, in comparison with any doubtful and misty views which we can form of the twilight times before and after that fortunate period. But we must not be blinded by our poetical enthu siasm, nor add more than due importance to le gends, because they have been woven into the most striking tale of ambition and remorse that ever struck awe into a human bosom. The genius of Shakspeare having found the tale of Macbeth in the Scottish Chronicles of Hollins-, bed, adorned it with a lustre similar to that with which a level beam of the sun often invests some fragment of glass, which, though shining at a 'distance with the lustre of a diamond, is by a near investigation discovered to be of no worth or estimation. Duncan, by his mother Beatrice, a grandson of Malcolm 11., succeeded to the throne on his grandfather's death, in 1033 ; he reigned only six years. Macbeth, his near relation, also a grandchild of Malcolm 11., though by the mother's side, was stirred up by ambition to co►►- test the throne with the possessor. The lady of Macbeth also, whose real name was Graoch, had deadly injuries to avenge, on the reigning Prince. She was the grand-daugher of Kenneth IV., killed in 1003, fighting against Malcolm 11. ; and other causes for revenge animated the mind of her who has been since painted as the sternest of women. The old sm4alist add some instiga tions of a supernatural kind to the influence of a vindictive woman over an ambitious husband. Three women, of more than human stature and beauty, appeared to Macbeth in a dream, or vision, and hailed him successively by the titles of Thane of Cromarty, Thane of Moray, which the King afterwards bestowed on him, and finally by that of King of Scots ; this dream, it 1; said, inspired him with the seductive hopes o well expressed in the drama. Macbeth broke no law of hospitality in his attempt on Duncan's life. He attacked and ble w the king at a place called Bothgowan, or the Smith's House, near Elgin, in 1039, and not, as has been supposed, in his own castle of Inverness. The act was bloody, as was the complexion of the times ; but in v y truth, the claim of Macbeth to the throne, i.,:cording to the rule of Scottish succession►, was bet ter than that of Duncan. As a king, the tyrant so much exclaimed against was, in reality, a firm, just, and equitable prince. Apprehensions of danger from a party which Malcolm, the eldest son of the slaughtered Dun can, had set on foot in Northumberland, and still maintained in Scotland, seems in. process of time, to have soured the tember of Macbeth, and ren dered bim formidable to his nobility. Against MacdufF, in particular, the powerful Maormor of Fife, he had uttered some threats which occa• sioned that chief to fly from the Court of Scot ia nd. Urged by this new counsellor, Siward, the Danish Earl of Northumberland, invaded Scot land in the year 1054, displaying his banner in behalf of the banished Malcolm. Macbeth en gaged the foe in the neighbourhood of his ce lebrated castle of Dunsinane. He was defeated, but escaped horn the battle, and was slain at Lumpkauanan in 1056. Very slight observation will enable us to re ' collect how much this simple statement differs from that of the drama, though the plot of the latter is consistent enough with the inaccurate historians from whom Shakspeare drew his ma terials. It might be added, that early authorities shew us no such persons as Banquo and his son Fleance, nor have we reason to think that the latter ever fled further from Macbeth than across the flat scene, according to the stage direction. Neither were Banquo or his son ancestors of the house of Stuart. All these things are now known ; but the mind retains pertinaciously the impression made by the impositions of genius. While the works of Shakspeare are read, and the English lan guage subsists, History may say what she will, but the general reader will only recollect Mac beth as a sacrilegious usurper, and Richard as a deformed murderer. Macbeth left a son, named Luach, which is translated fat:rus, or the simple. After a few months' struggle, he was defeated and slain at Essic, in Strath-Bogic. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX arrived at Eaton Hall, the magnificent mansion of Earl GROSVENOR, on Monday last, and on the same day a spe cial assembly of the Corporation of Chester was held, at which the freedom of the city was voted by acclamation to the Royal Duke, accompanied with a congratulatory ad. dress. On Tuesday morning the Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and several Members of the Common Council, in official costume, proceeded to Eaton Hall in a hing cavaleade of carriages. They were received in the saloon by the Noble Earl and Lord BELGRAVI, accompanied by Sir WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN, all three in their civic robes. They then proceeded in procession through the magnificent suite of rooms to the drawing-room, at the extremity of which the Royal guest was seated, surrounded by the Countess GROSVENOR, the Countess of 'WILTON, Lady ELIZABLTH BELnaave, Lord and Lady DNLA.MERE, &c. His Royal Highness was dressed in a short green coat, with gilt basket buttons, and worn a small star. He looked well, although his general appearance too plainly indicated that be had not yet entirely recovered from the effects of his late indisposition. The Town Clerk then read an address complimenting the Royal Duke on his arrival in the county, to which his Royal Highness returned an answer expressive of his thanks. - - - It appears by the New York Papers, that Mr. OwEN's party there have returned a member to the House of Representatives.

He was called in Hilary Term, 1780, but he is only a Term or two senior to Mr. SAuaIN, who was also called in 1780, or nearly 50 years ago. Both these gentlemen are senior to any person on the Bench. The Judge who approaches nearest to them is Mr. Justice JOHNSON, of the Common Pleas, who was called in 1784. The Chiefs of the Exchequer and Common Pleas were called in the same year, 1787, Justice Mooax and Baron SMITH, in 1789, Justice JEBB in 1789, but the Chief Justice of the King's Bench was not called until 1793, thirteen years after Messrs. LELAND and SAU RIN became members of the profession. Of the Barristers not practising we believe the Right llon. MKS FITZG ERA LI) is the oldest. He was called in January, 1769, or nearly 61 years ago. He is more than a year senior to Lord NORBURY, and eight years senior to Judge MI - , who was called in 1777.

A young lawyer, boasting of his readiness to undertake the defence of any person accused of crime, dc chred he would as soon undertake the cause of a man he knew to be guilty, as one whom he believed to be innocent.

SINGULAR MARRIAGE.—On Friday, in the Roman Catholic Chapel, Derry, DANIEL INltmLni, to SARAH DouGumv, both inmates of the Mendicity Asy lum, the former aged 74! and the latter fully his coeval. When the ceremnny was concluded, the enamoured bride groom sealed the covenant of love on his fair one's pouting lips with a buss which was echoed from every aisle of the venerable edifice. Ile then gave his arm, with ineffable grace to his darling bride, and retired to spend the honey moon, not where he could exclaim, " 0! love, in such a wilderness us this ;" but within the walls of his quondam residence—the envy of the less fortunate paupers. r Cibtf; *MI+ k!k., LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1829. The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 4th nstant alludes to the removal of the Russian head-quarters •to Aidos for the winter. The plague had almost disappeared at Bucharest, and much benefit was anticipated from the restoration of peace. The intended visit of the President of Greece to the head-quarters of General DIE-. BITSCH will not, it is said, now take place, in consequence of the General's objecting to the measure without first ascertaining the wishes of the Emperor on the subject. Perhaps both parties have thought better of it—and the Pre sident did not like to risk the journey, from considerations of a personal nature, with respect to Greece, during his absence : BUCHAREST, NOV. 28. It seems now to be certain that the grand head quarters of the Russian army will be removed for the present to Aidos. We suppose that they have by this time removed from Adrianople. The mili tary hospitals in that city are also to be transferred to Bourgas by the end of this month, when the city will be delivered up to Mustapha Pacha, of Scutari. The sanitary state of this city is now tolerable; we hear but of few cases of plague. As this dis order disappears our commercial intercourse will gra dually revive ; so that, unless some new misfortune occurs, we may hope to enjoy the fruits of the re storation of peace, and the advantages which must Accrue from the essential improvement of our poli tical condition. Though we shall have great num• hers of troops quartered here during the winter, w e hope that this circumstance will not cause provisions to become dear, as the army is chiefly supplied from the Russian magazines, which are extremely well filled. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, NOV. 25. It is affirmed that the projected visit of the Pre sident of Greece to the head-quarters of Count Diebitsch will not take place. The Russian Gene ral is reported to have intimated to Count Capo d'lstria, in a very polite letter, that he cannot ac cept the honour of the intended visit without first consulting his Sovereign; that besides he does not see the object of this visit, as the final regulation of the affairs of Greece would be determined partly b y direct communication between the Courts inte rested, and partly by their Ambassadors at Con stantinople; but that he himself had no instructions to interfere in them in the most distant manner. Frankfort Papers of the Gth of December contain the following with respect to the Presi dent of Greece and General CHURCH. The resignation of the English General clearly proves that Count CAro D'ISTRIA was very jealous of the presenceof foreigners in Greece, especially men of such high character as General CHURCH:— ANCONA, Nov. 20. According to the last Greek Gazette, the publica tion of the letter of General Church to the National Assembly, on his leaving his command, has given rise to that of the report of the President of that Assembly to the Government, on the demand of that General relatively to his resignation. He is accused in this report of having deviated from the truth, and to his declaration that he cannot approve of the present system of the Government. It is answered that it is not for him to form a judgment on this subject. A great number of private persons have offered to establish in Greece, schools on the system of mutual instruction. A letter of thanks, addressed by a Turkish lady who had been set at liberty with her daughters, after being treated in their captivity with the great est respect, testifies the humanity of the Govern ment to the enemy's prisoners. FRANKFORT, DEC. 5. Exchange on London, two months, 152. Accounts from Martinique of the 24th Sept. state that in about three months it was expected that port would be re-opened, as an entrepOt for almost every kind of gooe.s, except those of cotton manufacture. Mr. SHELL has just published an eloquent letter, penned with the most scrupulous care, in which he justifies himself at length for having accepted a brief from the BERESFORDS, as their Counsel at the approaching Waterford Elec tion. This letter was published in most of the Morning and Evening Journals about four months since, and seemed generally to have the effect it was intended to produce, that of com pletely exonerating Mr. SHELL from any un worthy motives in his acceptance of the brief in question. Why, then, has the Learned Gen tleman thought fit to republish it ? The public mind has been long since made up on the subject, and, so far as we can discern, decidedly in Mr. SHELL'S favour. The great ' national question once carried, the Learned Gentleman is clearly a free man. Having ful filled his pledge to Ireland, he is now at liberty to fulfil his d►►ties to himself, for on no prin ciple of justice, or even common sense, that we can recognise, is the opponent of the BERES-. Forms for their conduct during the early pro gress of the Catholic Question, to be expected to keep up his hostility, when the pretext is re moved, and when the BERESFORDS themselves have acknowledged the justice of the cause, for which alone Mr. SHELL wrote himself down their foe. Mr. SHELL is the friend, not the slave of Ireland. He has fought for her, and gained the victory, and instead of fostering the revengeful spirit of her enemies should now do his best to conciliate their esteem and good-will. The following remarks, which we extract from his letter, are eminently conclusive on this point : " The great object of ail our struggles and of our aspirations has been accomplished, and we are at length placed on that magnificent level of British Citizenship, by an assent to which our antagonists have not been lowered, and do not stand upon less elevated ground because we are placed beside them. We are free—and the con sciousness that we are in the possession of li berty should generate emotions far nobler and Jollier than those which it is expected that I should manifest, when am called upon to cherish exasperating reminiscences, and to carry on the same system of immitigable hostility, after all the purposes of contention hare been gained, and the field has been won. So far from being of opinion that this policy of exas peration ought to be pursued, I think that leni tives should be applied to the public mind, as soothing as the stimulants ►ere exciting; amd that the antidote should be as soft and oblivious as the poison which it is to neutralize was active and perilous."

Accounts received from Virginia, of the 15th Nov., state that important developements are making at Washington, concerning former Officers, and that a few of the dismissed collectors are sup posed to be minus from 100 to 150,000 dollars.

THE ANTICIPATED DUELLISTS. Sir C. Wetherell took his meat at the bar before the Lord Ch:incellor entered the Court ; soon afterwards the Solicitor-General passed Sir Charles, and took his usual place, but the two Learned Gentlemen took not the slightest notice of each other. The Loan CHANCELLOR, after he had delivered a judg ment, said I have read in one of the public papers this morning something that passed in Court yesterday—cer tain expressions used at the bar. I certainly did not hear those expressions—l mean the offensive expressions— otherwise I should have thought it my duty to have inter fered at the time. The SoLiciroa- GENERAL—If your Lordship alludes to any thing in which I was a party, I can only say I hare not seen a paper, and therefore I can make no further observation. The Loan CHANCELLOR-Something was said in an under tone that did not reach me. I think it my duty now to mention it, because it would have been my impe rative duty to have interfered at the time if those expres sions had reached me. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said nothing more. Sir C. WETHERELL made no remark whatever, but listened attentively to what fell from the Bench. He seemed to maintain throughout the morning an unusual de gree of gravity and to evince an aggrieved feeling. The SOLICITOR-GENERA L went through his avocations as if nothing unpleasant had transpired. SCOTT V. HANSON. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that in this appeal, (the arguments in which were concluded yesterday,) there were two questions ; first, whether a certain meadow had. been fraudulently described in articles of sale as a water-mea dow? And next, whether a good title had been otherwise made to the meadow ? It was true that the owner had not such uncontrolled power over a river that watered the meadow as to enable him at all times completely to irri gate it, yet he had undoubtedly the ability of watering it to a certain extent. The meadow was to be regarded, therefore, as an imperfectly watered meadow, but not as a nen-water-meadow. For the last century it bad been known and passed by the name of a water meadow. It was not the owner, but the assignees of the bankrupt owner, that had sold it. In the entries in the Court Rolls (three or four), since the year 1718, the meadow had always been described as the Mill Meadow, and containing six acres, although, in point of fact, it contained 14 acres. In the arguments it had been suggested that part of the meadow might be freehold property. This was a possible, but not a probable circumstance ; so possible, however, that the Vice-Chancellor had done right in directing it to go back to the Master on a further inquiry, for the purpose of re moving this slight doubt. The Court, under these cir cumstances confirmed the judgment below, both as to the meadow being water meadow, and the propriety of re fsrring it back to the charter. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for the costs on behalf of the respondent. Mr. WEIGHT opposed the application. His client has been kept out of a good title for 19 years, which he re garded as no very trifling hardship. The Loan CHANCELLOR ordered the deposit to be re turned, but refused to give further costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. YORK Y. FRY. The VICI#ICHANCELLOR on coming into Court, this morning, intimated his intention to the Registrar of giving judgment in this ease on Tuesday next. TUNSTALL V. TRAITES. The Court proceeded with this case which has already occupied several days. Upwards of twenty Counsel are engaged for different parties, :and the case will, no doubt, take up the whole day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. FALSE IMPRISONHENT—YERR, V. WALiNR AND OTHERS. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that this WAS an ac tion to recover compensation in damages for an assault and false imprisonment. The plaintiff, Matilda Kerr, was a minor, living with her mother, Maria Kerr, who, with Phoebe Jones, carried on the business of a dress-nvaker in the Strand. The plaintiff kept the accounts, and other wise assisted Ow firm. The defendant lived in the Com mercial-road, and carried on several trades there; in the course of business be drew a bill of exchange on the firm of Kerr and Jones for the sum of IV. This bill was ac cepted by the mother, Maria Kerr. She knew the harsh ness of the defendant, and made every exertion to take up the bill, but was unsuccessful. A short time, therefore, before the bill became due, she sent to the defendant, re questing him to hold it over as she should not be able to take it up. On the bill being dishonoured, how ever, he refused to do so, and took out writs in the Palace Court against Maria Kerr and Phoebe Jones. ,An officer named Driscoll, attended by Richards, went to the residence of Mrs. Kerr to execute the writ. The plaintiff Matilda Kerr was there, and Richards persuaded Driscoll to take her, although she was a minor, was not in the firm, and the writ was directed against Maria Kerr. They took her to a lock-up house, where she was some time afterwards visited by a friend of her family named Scott, who endeavoured to procure bail for her. Walker the defendant then came, and being told of the mistake, said " I don't care, I'll keep her as a screw to her mother." The Learned Counsel believed that the defence would be, that the plaintiff was as well known by the name of Maria as Matilda. Lord TENTERDEN before the case had proceeded fur ther discovered a legal objection to the declaration, and advised a reference, in order to accommodate both parties. This proposal was ultimately agreed to, and the case was referred to a gentleman at the bar, without judgment having been given on the legal objection. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

READING ScßooL.—The gentlemen edu cated at this school are about to do honour to themselves by conferring a mark of respect on their late venerable, excellent, and learned preceptor. They have entered into a subscription for the purchase of a piece of plate, to be presented to the Rev. Dr. Va tan-, on his retirement from the active and laborious duties of Reading School. It will no doubt amount to a large sum ; and if grateful feel ing on the one part is measured by the merit of the other, such a pleasing testimonial will be worthy of both. It is to he lamented that the subscription is confined to those only who ware educated in the School : it ought to be— and we hope will be—general.—Berkshire Chronicle. STAG HUNTING.—Mr. RAMSAY of Barn ton's hounds met at Boathouse -bridge, on Tuesday, where a noble stag W. 14 turned out, about half-past eleven o'clock. The hounds were laid on about twelve, and struck off at a dashing rate to the south. At Ingliston Enclosures a short check occurred ; they hit off again to the west, in most gallant style, through 'lanyards, crossed the Almond, passed NewHawn on the right, running on Broxhurn, on the east of which they crossed the Union Canal, taking af terwards a westerly direction by Binney House anti Tar travea Hills, by Bormey to Cockleroy, crossed the hill and came down, skirting Bowden to Bellside, from thence to Carruher Mill (upon the banks of the Avon), where the stag was run up. The chace lasted about two hours, and most of the time at a racing pace for the horses; the run is supposed to by from 10 to 25 miles. There were about 30 gentlemen, well mounted, in the field, but, as might be anticipated, very few were at the end of such a chace, we believe, only Mr. RASISAT and Mr. :yams.— Glasgow Paper.

These Sessions were held this morning before F. Corie , Esq. and a full bench of Magistrates. A gentleman named Davis, a highly respectable r>°. liciter in ale City, was charged with an indelicate assault: Thomas, one of the new police, stated that 0 ", was on duty in Hyde Park on the night of the 20th .0' Nov., when lie observed the defendant walking backwards and forwards for more than an hour, he then missed Isiin for a short time, but afterwards found hitn in a auspicious situation with a soldier. Witness took the gentleman into custody, who offered to give him a soeereign to let him go. The soldier made his escape. This was the only evidence for the prosecution . Mr. ADOLPUCS, for the defendant, addressed the Jure' at great length. The Learned Counsel said it was utterli impossible that his client could be guilty of the crime in k. Fated to him ; he was as honourable and moral a no n : any in existence, and he hoped the Jury would not gl'i l t ; verdict that must blast his character, and consign bi,f„ ' everlasting infamy and disgiace. The case rested su"'"; on the evidence of one witness; he (Mr. A.) did OW', to say that evidence was not to be believed , that Wee e, e y ' question for the Jury. He most, however, here ohth gels that if it was part of the new police to interfere w/_. walks, and watch all the actions of his Majesty's obi eer English liberty was only a name. We have, however, satisfaction to know, said Mr. A., that one priyi le f e ,:, our once famous Constitution remains, viz.
