C OURT-MARTIAL UPON CAPT. DICICEN- SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH THURSDAY—EIGHTH DAY. This morning the Court assembled at the usual hour, °ad was greatly crowded, owing to the expectation of the cue for the prosecution being closed. There would have been no doubt of its closing this evening had it not been that Sir E. Codrington's explanations occupied so much t ime. I understand that all the witnesses for the prosecu tion have been examined, and that the Court will meet to morrow for the cross-examination of Capt. Spencer by C4 Pt- Dickenson. CONCLUSION OF THE EIGHTH CHARGE. t , Cal 3l - &turn—Could the Genoa fire her stern guns at "1 Egyptian ships at any time of the battle, at the extre mity of the line, without danger to the Asia or any of the Anted ships. Sir E. CODRINGTON—CertainIy not. INGLEFIRLD--Had the firing throughout the all!ed line ceased at the time you hailed the Genoa to cease firing? Sir E. CODRINGTON—Yes; my opinion was, that the action was generally over; there being guns going off it Was difficult to state. Capt. INGLEFIELD—Can you particularize any ship in the allied forces that were firing at that time? Sir E. COD RINGTON—About that time the Albion was firing ; I ern sure Phe fired after the explosion. Capt. INCLEFIELD-.--DO you recollect any other ships of the allied line which were firing at that time. Sir E. C ODRINGTON—I do not positively recollect. Only two French schooners were firing apparently at a Turkish frigate, and I was under great anxiety least the Hind should be injured by their fire. I endeavoured to stop their firin g . Ido not recollect any other. Capt. ELLIOTT—At what period of the action was this ? Sir E. CODRINGTON—GeneraIIy throughout the action. Captain ELLIOTT—CouId the Genoa's stern guns have hit the Asia at that time from her stern port? Sir E. conatscrox—They could not have hit the Asia. I never saw her in that position that they could strike her ; they were always directed against her opponent, a Turkish ship-of-the-line, and she appeared to me to engage her With her stern and quarter guns only. Captain ELLtorr—Could you distinguish from what deck her quarter guns were fired..? Sir E. CODRINGTON ...-The lower deck. Captain Goanon—When you considered the Genoa's battle to be over, do you mean that her appointed oppo nent had been silenced? Sir E. CODRINCTON—Yes, and also all the vessels in the inner lines. This was the evidence of the eighth charge. Sir En " 111) CODRINGTON was now called to depose to the ninth ""'" That Captain Dickenson presented him with a letter Which he considered as a round robin, and the presenta tion of such was an act of insubordination." ' Sir Ensvaan ConatNorrow— Captain Dickenson, after P r e s enting me some - official papers in the Asia's cabin, at Navarin, said—." Sir Edward, here is a letter which the "Ws company of the Genoa desired that I would pre terit to you, which I at first refused to do; but upon their saying if I would not take it, they would themselves send t I thou g h t i t more respect f u l to you to presen t it m y se lf.' then gave me the paper in question. Considering it as one of those complimentary effusions of which, sooner or la ter, I had a vast number, and having plenty of import ant matters t o a tt rac t m y a ttention, I did not then read it. s il bsequently I think when lying ill in my cot I read this With other papers which I bad been reading of minor iin- Parta nee, and when well enough I considered the subject, and I sk etc h e d out a l etter to C ap t a i n Di c k enson , an d th a t I rter was expressive of my opinion of this act of insubor dination, end considering it as not merely coining from the thip's company of the Genoa, I therein directed that be would return the document, and explain to them the unpropriety of their conduct. The matter stood over till out arrival at Malta. I had shown the letter to several er ams ; Captains Ommaney, Spencer, Curzon, and Ba ynes, I think they all saw it; I was told by Captains o unnaney and Spencer, that Captain Dickenson had ex- Pressed contrition for the error he had committed; he de clared, and they believed it, that it was done inadvertently. I desired to see Capt. Dickenson, and when waited upon he -o expressed his contrition, as stated by them, and " declared th a t it was done inadvertently. I asked hi nt how long he had been in the Genoa; he told tne, in answer, about fire months. I asked him k t , he could expect me to believe, that after he had t .,..'" 11 only fi ve months in the Genoa, and not being the 'aPtain of her, they could be so attached to him as to have sent MO such a letter, and under a conviction that the do cument in question did not in reality emanate from the cra w of the Genoa, and thinking that, under all the cir- T e umatiinee s , it would be best for his Majesty's service that t!'houTit take no further notice of it. I gave back into fi t la own h an d th e d o cument in question, and the sketch of the letter before mentioned, which I had written in con atclutnie.- I desired to weigh well the contents of the document, and my answer, before he destroyed them, and I informed him that I retained no copy of either.— ..The substance of this 'ffocn.... , -ent was, that the petty officers and ship's company of the Genoa are much delighted at the noble manner in which your Honour led the fleet into battle with the Turks. We congratulate you on the great And glorious victory you have obtained, and they were particularly pleased at the manner in which their late gal lant Captain brought the ship into action and conducted it until he was mortally wounded. Since we have lost him, W e beg to inform you there is ne officer in the fleet we should like to serve under so much as Capt. Dickenson. therefore, hope your Honour will appoint Captain 'Dickenson to the command of the Genoa in preference t o any other officer ; er words to that effect. I am not quite sure as to the precise words, but I am very confident of the substance. The PRESIDENT—Was the paper signed ? Sir E. Co banaoTon—No, it was not signed. PRESIDENT—Had you any reason to suppose whether that letter was the production of the Genoa's ship com- Pany? Sir E. CODRINGTON—I have stated in the former Part of my evidence that I did not consider this docu ment to have emanated from the crew of the Genoa, and I a m now more strongly of that persuasion than I was then. My reason is from the erroneous return of the killed and wounded, and from a personal conversation I had with Captain Smith at the Admiralty, induced me to 'believe that both these documents in question were a con trivance to forward the promotion of Captain Dickenson and Captain Smith. Sir LI. pLacKwoon—lltrhat did the conversation be tween Ynu and Captain Smith allude to? Sir E. Co namacTost—Captain Stith told me that he was about to Wait on Lord Melville to seek another step—meaning to he bade a Post Captain, and asked me to assist him. I ans wered " No ; Captain Smith, you have obtained one aukfor the battle of Navarin—l am not in favour to any thing from the Admiralty just now, and, if I Were, there are others who have stronger claims on me tu an you have." He replied, " Yes; but my situation is Peculiar one, the Captain having been killed in the battle.",, I rejoined instantly and said, " Captain Smith , "us Care what you say, Captain Dickenson has made a t r eat error in making that report, and you should take are not to do the Barrie ?" " I beg your pardon, Sir, mor tally woun • ~,, tenwas his reply. ,__Paastniesm—Were you acquainted with Captain Smith r _ ue liwe you saw him an board the Genoa? Sir EDWARD " I akINGTON--I knew Captain Smith's face when I first 4 w him, when the. Genoa joined us. He reminded me . serving under me before. Sir HENRY Btacitwoon—At what period did this e anversation take place with Captain Smith at the Admi • ratty f was it at the period that the correspondence corn twneed which brought on this Court-martial ? Sir waan—lt was in the early part of it I was at the Ad nursity about it. Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD—Having looked over the cir cumstance respecting the round robin as related to Cap i!!ln Dickenson, with a copy of your intended letter, what a4e nntstances induced you to bring it forward again ? Sir E. CODRINGTON—A question arose respecting con , D ickenson honor ar y distinctions upon the then Commander of the Genoa, Commanders Baynes of the and Campbell of the Albion. Capt. Dickenson had by f n le mistake b ee n allotted two Russian distinctions, one 1 7'n Pri nce Li even i n E ng l an d, and the other through Count , ;idol in the Mediterranean. I say mistake, because it tins "leanly not the intention to bestow two honorary dia . n of the same nation ; one was conferred in one t a re, and the other in another. In fact, there was great tf aru eicia with respect to the distribution of t h ese distinc n t -4 . • Some of the Officers coining home, and others re . tinting to the navy. I xplained to the Admiralty that it M e e t .have been a Mistake ; and I expressed my regret that Onain Dickenson, of whose conduct in the battle I, as * I, l °4 l 4Pder-in-Chief, did disapprove, not only t hat h e * Vitt] have had any honorary distinc•ion , when those r ,_ inh I h a d g i ven b y t h e di rec ti o ns of the Admiralty to Baynes and Campbell should be taken away fiom t ern * I delivered the fourth older of St. Latimer to Capt. 43 : 45 in the Mediterranean, and he delivered his back d a ' n, by the directions of the Admiralty, and Captain ~M P ,helrs was withheld from him. He never got it, be 'n England when I received them for distribution at t o ( ~,4 a- I mean to state that the Russian distinction given fe o , -a ,P t ain Baynes b proper authority, was taken away ti o W "im at about time same period, when it was a ques- I/ 4 Whether or not Captain Dickenson was to have two tt ie sa 'an distinctions. I was then asked by the Admiralty grounds of my disapprobation, and thinking their Lordships had taken the same view which I did of what was equal justice in the distribution of those distinctions, and were desirous of having before them such a statement from use, as Commander-in-Chief, as would either lead to their giving Captain Baynes the honour possessed by Captain Dickenson, or take from Captain Dickenson that which was con ferred on him, or at least to place them on the same level, I made a statement to the Board of such part of the dis approbation as I had of Captain Dickenson's conduct, as I thought would answer the purpose, on receipt of that statement, without further communication with me. I was informed by the Board that they had ordered a Court martial, that the Deputy Advocate was directed to apply to me for evidence, and the means of carrying on the pro secution. I presented myself to the First Lord of the Ad miralty, and told him the object for which I had written the letter, and after having passed by all I had disap proved of in the conduct of Captain Dickenson, that it was quite contrary to my feelings that he should be ever brought to a Court-martial. I was well aware that there was a power given me by my ,naval instructions, but it was a power I should never willingly exercise, haying a strong opinion of its injustice. Lord Melville told me. that the order having been promulgated, it could not be withdrawn, after what I had stated ; but if, in consi deration to Captain Dickenion, and with a view to enable him to clear up the disapprobation I had expressed was the object of the Board ; it would be in a certain degree a Court-martial on myself, and therefore I should be obliged to state all I knew of Captain Dickenson's conduct. Lord Melville then observed, that under the circumstances although it was not his business to apprise me, he thought it due to myself, and the public service, that I should state all the points of Captain Dickenson's conduct which I had disapproved of. Still unwilling to see the matter brought to this extremity in answering the Admiralty letter, 1 so worded it as to afford an opportunity of withdrawing the order, giving my opinion that it would not have the effect of clearing Captain Dickenson, but would be more injuri ous to him. I was, nevertheless, directed by the Board to state all the points of disapprobation of the Captain's con duct, and I was informed that the Board would withdraw the first order, and would issue a second, founded on my subsequent letters. Sir H. BLAcicwoon— Would the Admiralty have known the existence of this charge, had you not informed their Lordships? Sir EDWARD-They never would have known it from me had they not called for a statement. Sir H. InacKwoon—Then why did you bring for ward charges that you had already looked over, and had torn the documents ? Sir EDWARD-Because their Lord ships in a letter of the 10th July, signed by Mr. Barrow, infOrnaed me that under all the circumstances, it was due as well to the character of Captain Dickenson, as to the public service, that the matter should be fully investi gated, and that their Lordships had declared that I should be informed that it would be the most convenient course, that I should state to the Secretary all the points of Cap tain Dickenson's conduct, with which I was dissatisfied, and their Lordships would therefore issue a new order for the investigation of such statements before a Court-mar tial, grounded upon my former letter. Sir H. BLACKWOOD-Did you ever state to the Ad miralty, that you were ready to look over that charge of the round robin, and expressed the feelings you have now expressed ?—Sir EDWARD: Certainly. I considered it entirely looked over. In a letter to the Admiralty, of the 29th July, I wrote thus I beg leave to explain, that the only motive by which I have been actuated has been to obtain equal justice. Allow me to repeat that I have no desire to recur to the exposure of Captain Dickenson's conduct before a Court-martial, after having once, erro neously or not, consented to overlook it ; I nevertheless thought it right, in deference to the opinion of the Board of Admiralty, to place before them all the information which I possessed on the subject. I cannot, however, think it encumbent on me to enter into the details referred to in your letter, nor to interest myself for them in the final result, than in very respectfully wishing that their Lordships may succeed in a measure, which they think indispensable, and which is essentially due to the charac ter of Captain Dickenson, and best conducive to the public service." Sir H. BLACKWOOD-Was the honorary distinction solicited by Captain Dickenson ?—Certainly not, I believe. Sir H. BLACKWOOD—IS it, or is it not, your opinion, if at any period of your communication with the Admi ralty, either in the origin or the sequel, that you did not think from the lapse of time which had occurred, it was undeserving of a Court-martial, and as not producing any probable good result to his Majesty's service, that their Lordships would have ordered a Court-martial. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—I consider that in the course of my .correspondence with the Admiralty, I ex pressed the strongest possible objection to the Court-mar , . tial, but their Lordships persevered. Admiral OTWAY—Did you send a list of the names of the officers for the distinctions to Count Heiden ? Sir EDWARD—Count Heiden asked me for a list of officers serving in the English squadron of the rank of Commodore and upwards, as he knew that the Emperor of Russia was anxious of spewing some marks of his approbation of the conduct of the British squadron. I gave him a list. Adthiral OTWAY—Was Captain Dickenson included in that list ? Certainly. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow (this day). FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

The boys of the Royal Military Asylum, at Chelsea, went yesterday in procession, preceded by their bands, to the menagerie of wild beasts, in the King's-mews, in Charing-cross, and went over that establishment. We hear that Wm. KENDRICK, Esq., one of the Welch Judges, and. Recorder of Dever, is very seriously ill—no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Trade of every description is extremely flat in Belfast, and the quay last week presented a sad proof of this, there being only a few coasters and one or two ves sels waiting cargoes for foreign ports. The linen trade in particular is very dull ; and that fine building, the Linen ball, formerly the scene of great activity, appears now to a stranger a deserted building. The linen weavers are fast leaving the trade, and engaging at any other employment they can find, convinced that ere long the power loom cot ton trade will leave nothing for them to do in the linen business Glasgow Chronicle.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—SaIes to the amount of about 1,000 hhds. were made on Tuesday last at very firm prices, since then the demand continues steady, fully sup porting Tuesday's prices; the better descriptions for the Grocers and the Refiners continue scarce, and command a ready sale : a public sale of 2,302 bags Mauritius on Tues day last, chiefly coloury descriptions, went off briskly at an advance of Is. per cwt. ; yesterday a.public sale of 122 hhds. Barhadoes (sold on new terms), at much about the last sale's prices. FOREIGN SUGARS —Privately there is very little doing : yesterday a public sale of 1,056 chests white Havannahs was brought forward, which sold briskly from 455. 6d. to 495. 6d. REFINED SUGARS.—The business done this week in low Lumps has been very extensive, at the quotations for delivery a fortnight to come, and the demand continues brisk, but the scarcity of goods checks further sales ; for the middling descriptions also there has been more request for packing and crashing, in the latter there has been more business doing this week. The low prices at which the double refined have of late rated appears to have attracted the attention of the exporters; in the grocery descriptions there is not so much doing as last week. COFFEE.—OnIy one public sale this week (to -day), consisting nearly all of the ordinary and good ordinary de scriptions, which forms no criterion of the market, went off at very full prices ; by private contract there are some inquiries for Foreign, but the transactions have been very limited. Flt UIT. —There is very little doing at present ; a small parcel of Valentia Raisins has been sold at 445. ; Jordan Almonds (owing to the reports of the crops abroad having failed) are much sought after ; 101. 10s. has been given, and the holders now demand 11/.

Also, on the same account, a large quantity of damaged cinnamon saved from the Alexander, stranded at Gravesend. The sale will take place on the 12th October. Hon.-The fine weather has much improved the con dition of the plantations, and the accounts to-day are fa vourable. The duty has risen from 29,0001. to 38,0001. up to yesterday. This morning it is called 40,0001. Nothing doing in Hops. _ TEA.-The East India Company's Tea Sale is proceed ing steadily, and up to this morning 33,496 chests have passed.

Shipments of Grain continued to be made. Tallow is at 3ss. per cwt. MR. MADDEN'S TRAVELS.—This work certainly appears most opportunely at the present moment. At a time when the eyes of the whole civilized world are directed to the seat of war between the Turks and Russians, and to the fearful struggle between these two powers, any details respecting the character of the former nation, their strength, laws, religion, habits and prejudices, &c. must prove especially attractive. The account given in these volumes of the SULTAN'S capital, conveys a very animated picture of the present state of Constantinople, and will assist the reader to form a just idea of the resources and capabilities of the Turkish Empire.

HOP-PICKING.—As a great number of the poorer classes are in the habit of travelling into Kent and Sussex at this season of the year, to procure employment in picking hops, a great deal of misery and disappoint ment will be averted by giving publicity to the following notice issued this morning, and circulated on the Kent and Sussex ro ids :—" HOP-PICKING, 1829—The crop of hops this year is very short and bad, so that no hop-pickers will Le wanted, and persons going into Kent and Sussex will not obtain employment, but probably get ague and sickness."

ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLOUCESTER, SEPT. S. William Salewell alias Sully, was indicted for the wilful mu: der of his wife Sarah, at Ruspedge Meon, Sr. Briavels. Mary Ann Meredith, examined by Mr. WATSON—I live at Cynvford, about a quarter of a mile from ihe prisoner's house. On the 23d May, about nine o'oipo I was going home on the tram road with a basket of coal on my head ; I heard the prisoner's wife cry murder; I didn't know her before ; I beard her cry murder a great many times; I was at some distance when I first saw them; I saw him kick her vio'ently a great many times; the woman was sitting down ; I gassed by them close ; I heard the wife tell the prisoner not to kick her any more; she said, "Doesn't thee kick me no more ;" the prisoner said, " Thee get up, thy eyes, if thee doesn't get up, I'll give thee some more on't ;" the deceased said she couldn't ; I saw him kick her again several times violently ; I was frightened, and I passed by on my way home, as quick as I could ; I said nothing to the prisoner, I was so frightened ; I might have been there five minutes ; I looked back ; he was still kicking her ; I met Llewellyn Reece; I told him what I had seen; I saw him run to wards them ; I left my coal at home and went back again ; the prisoner and his wife was still there with Reece, who was talking to them ; the wife was then standing up ; I saw the prisoner and his wife go down together; the woman walked slow and quiet ; it was light enough to see her person ; there was a hole in her arm, almost big enough to put my finger in ; it was all over blood ; I heard no quarrel before I heard the cry of murder; the prisoner wore thick nailed shoes; I didn't see the nails, but they were of that thick heavy kind which labourers wear, and which are nailed ; he appeared sober ; I am sure I heard no quarrel. Llewellyn Reece, examined by Mr. Jusnce.—l live a short distance from the prisoner's hovel, about half mile. On the evening of the 23d May I met Mary Ann Meredith, and in consequence of her statement I walked quickly towards the place described ; I heard cries of mur der from a female, following heavy blows; I then ran and found the deceased down upon the ground, and the prisoner standing over her beating her with both his fists ; I saw the prisoner hit her two or three times ; this might have been ten minutes after I left Mary Ann Meredith ; I ran up and pushed him off, he fell on the ground. I said " What be at, be you murdering the woman ?" he slid " I am not, it's my own wife, I have a right to do as I like with her ;" she got up ; she appeared very poorly and weak ; I retreated back ; he wanted to fight me; she was gather ing up some things which had been scattered on the ground ; I asked him what he beat her for; he said she had been abusing him for drinking ; she replied, " No, William, I did not, only for your good ;" I could tell by his breath that he had been drinking, but by his actions and answers to my questions he appeared sober; some other persons came up ; I told him, and he promised to beat her no more. George Tindal, a boy about 14 years of age—l saw the prisoner and his wife come home on the night of the 23d of May, the wife was crying and complaining of her side; I heard the prisoner say, " if thee doesn't hold thy tongue I'll heat thee more ;" she said, " \Villiam, you've no need to beat me more, I shall never want more in this world ;" this was about ten o'clock on Saturday evening. Mr. Abel and Mr. Charles T. Phillips, two surgeons, spoke to the state of the body, and gave it as their opinion that the deceased died of the violence received ; a rib was crushed, not so much broken, as literally splashed. The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. The JUDGE then condemned the prisoner to die on Sa turday morning. The prisoner begged that his Lordship would not let him be dissected. This part of the sentence appeared to affect the prisoner most. WESTERN CIRCUIT-BRISTOL, SEPT. S. STOCKDALE V. COX. This was an action on the warranty of a horse. The plaintiff was a gentleman of fortune, residing in Glou cester. On the 2d of March last he came to Bristol for the purpose of purchasing a horse. A gentleman named Ford accompanied him into the market, when they saw a bay gelding, which they thought likely to suit; they en quired of the defendant's servant the price, and was in formed 451. The defendant was not present at this time, hut shortly afterwards came up and said his servant had made a mistake, the price was 45 guineas, and not pounds. After some further conversation, during which the de fendant said he would warrant the horse perfectly sound; the plaintiff agreed to purchase it for 441. Shortly after wards the horse shivered a good deal, and refused to cat his food. He was taken at a slow rate to the plaintiff's resi dence in Gloucestershire, where he was kept for a fortnight and then returned to Bristol, and in a day or two after wards died. A great number of witnesses were called who gave a mi nute description of the appearances of illness in the horse, the manner in which it was treated, during the time it was in the possession of Mr. Stockdale, and the warranty of soundness given by the defendant at the time of sale. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS addressed the Jury at great length for the defendant, and contended that the plaintiff had no good action, as he would call witnesses to prove that the horse was perfectly sound at the time of sale. The Learned Counsel then called several witnesses, who stated that the horse never showed any symptoms of disease previous to the sale, and had always eat its food well. Air. Serjeant WILDE replied at great length. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, although the case had occupied a great length of time, the question was a very short one ; it was merely whether the horse was or was not sound at the time the warranty was given by the de fendant. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 451. The case, from the respectability of the parties, excited considerable interest in this city. It occupied the time of the Court from nine o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon. DOVER, SEPT. 2. The weather having proved delightfully fine for the last two or three days, has induced numbers to sojourn at this delightful watering-place, and enjoy the cool sea breezes, and the various amusements going forward in the town. The Rayner Family (Tyrolese Minstrels) exhibited their attractive powers yesterday, at the King's Arms Assembly Rooms, and a repetition► takes place this evening. Mathews and Yates obtained a bumper house at the Theatre, on Friday evening, and are gone to enter tain, by their inimitable abilities, the good folks at Boulogne and other parts of France, where there are large quantities of cousin Bulls. The alteration in the weather appears to have a great effect upon the passage to and from the Continent, no less than 17 noblemen's and gentlemen's carriages having been embarked to-day for Calais and Boulogne. His Majesty's packet Salamander sailed with the mail, despatches, nine carriages, and between 80 and 90 passengers, to Calais; atnnngst whom were— Colonel Bentinck, Col. Blackburn, Dawson, Stephens, Bruere, Potter, and Richardson, Esqrs. The carriage of Richardson, Esq., being, as is supposed, mistaken for that of Mr. Rothschild, two attempts were made, on different parts of the Kent road, to rob it, by cutting through the back part with sharp instru ments. Both attempts were detected by Mr. Richardson, who alighted, and knocked the first fellow down with a stick. In the second attempt, which occurred at the distance of three miles from the former, Mr. Richardson gave the fellow a com plete drubbing, so as to occasion him to remember it. The Medusa steam packet sailed with two car riages and a number of passengers to Calais, amongst whom were Mr. and Mrs. Archdeckne. The steam vessel Sovereign, Cap'. J. Hayward, sailed with th ree c arriages, freighted to Boulogne by the Earl of Beverley and suite. The steam vessel Royal George, Capt. W. Hay ward, sailed with three carriages, freighted to Boulogne by N. M. Rothschild, Esq. and suite. Arrived his Majesty's steam packet crusader, with despatches, and 68 passengers. Also arrived the Britannia steam vessel, from Boulogne, with passengers; and the French packet, with the mail. It is now ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the person who arrived in the Royal George, from Boulogne, on the 22d ult., and died, as stated in a preceding Paper, from the effects of liquor, was a son of a highly respectable lady, named Taylor, at B oulogne. A letter has been received from CHARLES KIMBLE, dated Cork, in which he says that he intends to be in London and will certainly attend the meeting that is advertised for Wednesday next of the creditors of the theatre and patrons of the drama.

Owing to the absence of many of the members of the room at Pontefract and Warwick races, the attendance yesterday was less numerous than on Monday, and the betting lighter. Two or three changes, however, are ob servable ; Sir Hercules has got to evens with Rowton ; Frederick was in general demand, and at the close no one would bet more than 9to 1. Forth makes sure of win ning, and when we consider how very cleverly he caught them at Epsom, it will not do to laugh at his promise of again " doing the trick" at Doncaster. Stotforth was backed to a considerable amount, but did not spring much, notwithstanding his success at Pontefract. Felt is still at 20 to I—will he start for the St. Leger ? we think not. Zinganee continues steady at 6 to 4 for the Cup, and de servedly so, now it is known that his most dangerous op ponent (Velocipede) is gone altogether. We give the closing prices:— DONCASTER ST.

The Earl of Chesterfield, who is Steward of these Races, contributes in every way to their being more than usually celebrated this year. His Lordship has taken four homes near the Race Course, and sends his establishment in order to entertain a very large party from London, to meet the Duke of Wellington, who does Lord Chesterfield the honour to visit him during the Race week, an event of which his Lordship may well be proud. _ . The following distinguished personages are invited by the Noble Earl to have the honour of meeting his Grace The Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Earl and Coun tess of Belfast, the Earl of Roselyn, Lady Janet St. Clair, Marchioness of Tavistock, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Lord Melbourne, Lord Clanwil liam, Hon. J. Townshend, and various other fashionabks. The Earl of Chesterfield, with his usual noble feeling, drew his horse Zingamee at Goodwood Races, and sent him to Doncaster, for fear of causing any disappointment there. WILD GEESE.-011 Monday last a nume rous flock of wild geese were observed passing over Chel tenham in a northerly direction, an unusual circumstance so early in the Autumn.—Cheltenham Chronicle. Sir ASTLEY COOPER is at present amongst the visitors at Cheltenham. On Wednesday he enter tained the faculty of that town with a splendid dinner at the Plough Hotel.—Butte Chronicle. Extract of a letter from Borris•o'-kane, dated August 31 :—lt is gratifying to state the excitation of the public mind on the late trials at Clontnel is not, although of an alarming nature, of that frightful description which is represented in some of the public prints. It was cur rently rumoured that a re-action would have taken place yesterday, and that multitudes from the surrounding pa rishes would have been in town, but so little did Major CARTER credit the report that he sent the police to their respective places of worship, a number of whom are Bo man Catholics, and the town during the time of divine service never appeared more tranquil. It has been stated that a large military force is stationed here, and that pre parations are at present being made for the accommoda tion of a still larger. There are only forty soldiers here entirely, and it is considered that number, instead of being augmented, will be diminished. It has been stated that the Protestants of the place have their houses barricadoed, in anticipation of a general attack. I have talked with several of them, who laughed at the report, who say they never lived on better terms with their Catholic neighbours, and openly express their indignation at the affair at Borris-o'-kane, which they say could be avoided, if any man of spirit and influence had been there at the time. We have not a single word about the introduction of the In surrection Act ; and I have been informed by some of the most active magistrates, that they are under no apprehen sion whatso.ver re'peetirg the peace of the county.-- Dublin Morning Register. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We alluded yesterday to the resignation of M. de Chateaubriand, to its ready acceptance by the King, and the refusal of a private audience by his Majesty to hear its motives. The un happy consequences of treating such a man with disrespect are already manifest. His cause has been taken up by •all the liberal press, and his merits and services to the monarchy are con verted into new instruments of attack upon the Ministry. Always fbrmidable in opposition by the power of his pen, though perhaps inefficient in place, from his unaequaintance with business, the noble Viscount might perhaps have hoped for a more respectful treatment, from fear, on his resigning office, though he could scarcely have hoped for a higher appointment from a confi dence in his usefulness. His character with the Liberals, which was high before, will now be raised above all praise. He was known to have liked his dignified retreat in the capital of the Catholic world, amid the monuments of ancient grandeur and the splendours of modern art : he has renounced it rather than desert his princi ples. He was known to be poor—to have no private fortune ; and he has abandoned a weal thy sinecure rather than " fare sumptuously" on the bounty of an obnoxious Administration. — Such will, with some truth, be the language of his friends. M. de Chateaubriand, we believe, has nothing to depend on but a small pension of• 12,000 francs (or 4801.) a year, and the produce of his writings. The former is said to be al ready appropriated to pay off early , encum brances, and the large sum which he received for the copyright of the latter (about 18,0001.) is reported to be already spent. If this account be correct, the noble Viscount—the representative of an ancient family, a Peer of France, lately a Minister of the Crown, and a few days ago French Ambassador at Rome, with rich appoint ments—will again return to a hired lodging in some of the suburbs of Paris, and write articles for the journals. The personal sacrifices which he has thus been called upon to make to his po litical principles, will give additional influence to his opinions, as well as infuse additional bitter ness into his hostility.— Times. Accounts from the seat of war in Turkey conic to us generally through such doubtful channels, and ought to be entertained with such distrust, that we are compelled in a manner to let our views of the campaign lag somewhat behind the real eventf, of it, and to take up with ignorance as a condition less dangerous than error. A proclamation of Count Diebitsch, anti two or three Russian reports of military occurrences subsequent to the passage of the higher Balkan, may nevertheless be assumed as vouchers for two facts-Ist, that the Russian commander felt some degree of uneasiness at the prevailing de sertion of the Turkish inhabitants from the parts of the country which the invaders traversed; 2d, that the Grand Vizier with a considerable force had made good his passage from Shumla to Adria nople, first leaving a strong garrison to occupy the intrenched camp before the former. The proclamation is couched in terms of singular and studied mildness. Count Diebitsch ex hausts his whole magazine of persuasion to in duce the Moslems to remain at their homes, — to surrender their weapons, that they may be incapable of resistance to even the smallest party of his troops,—and to gather in their crops, which it will cost the Russian soldiery less trouble to cart away from the Turkish barns than to reap and harvest from the open fields, Great forbearance is promised, and the strictest discipline, if the Turks will only do as the in vading General .desires ; but we should like to hear by what preternatural process a greedy Cos sack is to be restrained from plundering an enemy who has been weak enough to deliver up his arms. The designs of the Russian leader, or those which he professes, seem in some respects curious, for the coolness with which they are announced. In appealing, for instance, to the local authorities, Count Die bitsch calls upon those of Adrianople, amongst other places, " not to leave their abodes, but to continue to direct the administrations, &c.,“ making it a matter of certainty that the Russian head-quarters are about to be transferred to that great city. To this, in truth, we see at present no obstacle which may not speedily and easily be removed. The small number of troops al leged to be under command of Count Die bitsch, at Aidos, may, if correctly stated, induce him to postpone his advance, but only until reinforcements reach him. The Turks appear, from gross ignorance, or fatuity, to have wil fully surrendered the sole advantage which be longed to them, and changed a war of posts into one of battles—a blunder which there is now no rational prospect of repairing. Unless, there fore, the Russian supplies should fall short —an event not likely in their actual position, so ac cessible to water-carriage—or unless the plague - should lay hands on them wholesale, there seems to be nothing—not even an English man of war—to interrupt the course of the invading army. If the Grand Vizier has descended from the hills to Adrianople, he has come but to be driven from it, or to perish there. The day is past, or appears to be so, for manifestations of vigour by the English Government— " Man but a ruihagaiost Otbello's breast, tcc. ' However, there is litile more to be•said. What ever concerns the much-puffed Greek question sinks into silly wretchedness compared with the other interests of the East... Russia has, been let in to the gates of Constantinople :, she may withdraw her troops to d plausible and conve nient distance ; but who will henceforth dare to tell Nicholas—" You shall not return at your pleasure ?"—lbid. We have often been surprised at the manner in which in Parliament, the manufacturing, com mercial, and agricultural interests are opposed to each other, as if the interests of all these classes were not one and the same. It is as absurd to suppose that one of these can flourish without the other, or to suppose that the prosperity of one can be increased by the suffering of the other, as to suppose that the legs are injured by the strength of the arms, and would benefit by the diminution of such strength. In a new country, every man is agriculturist and manufac turer. In the course of time it is found that by one man confining himself to cultivating the soil, while others exercise their industry as arti sans, all will be gainers. The merchant, as a middle-man, connects together the cultivator and the manufacturer. But the demands of the ma nufacturers and the agriculturists limit each other. There canna be more food raised than the ma nufacturers can take off; as there cannot be more goods made than the agriculturists require. We are supposing a country cut off from all intercourse with other countries. In that case the - -rnanufac, turers, the agriculturists, the merchants, must - bear a proportion to each other.
