Thaws., Maynard. aged 36, coal-dealer, was indicted 6 r uttering in the city of London a forged order for the him of 1,9'731., with intent to defraud his Majesty. Itichard Hubard Jones, aged 25, clerk, and Joseph Win. West, were included in the same indictment. The pri loners pleaded " not guilty." On the part of the Crown there appeared the ATTOR GENERAL, Mr. Ilou.a ND, and Mr. SHEPHERD. For the prisoners, Mr. BRODERICK, for Jones, and Mr. AnoLrucs and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the two others. The indictment contained a great number of counts, and lifter it had been read and the prisoners had pleaded, Mr. 13 aonneicx submitted to the Court, that as the Prisoner Jones was indicted both for uttering and receiving 14 the same indictment, in different counts, the prose rntor must make his election as to the count be chose to " upon, as the offences of uttering and receiving were Zrfainly distinct offences, and the prisoner ought to know hich offence he is charged with, that he might also ow to what charge he might direct his defence. 13_ oAfter some consideration, the CoURT over-ruled Mr. r derick s objection—holding, that the prosecutor was hot bound to make his election. 1 4r. S ue/4mm opene d t h e i n di c t men t. I n one coun t i t e thr ee pr i soners were charged w i t h ma ki ng an d utter i ng h 1 • e forged instrument; in another with wilfully assisting h f orging and u tt er i n g ;in another with uttering, with in tent to d e f rau d hi s M a j esty ; i n anot h er w ith i n t e nt to defraud Sir 11. liootliby, the Receiver-General of his Ma 3',:tY's Customs; i n anot h er w i t h utter i ng , k now ing it to 1 for ged ; and in another with receiving the forged instru ment with a guilty knowledge. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then stated the case. Before b e ent ere d into the statement of the whole f acts aga i nst the three prisoners, it would be necessary to say something about the routine of business which rendered such instru ments necessary, and of the instrument itself. The war rant purported to be signed by the Comptroller-General of the Customs, and directed to the Receiver-General, autho ri'iorhitri to pay the sum of 1,9731. In the revenue service t , peaces of the outports were generally deducted from. receipts collected,atthe same place. In many of the out- P o rt* howeVer the 'eXPences exceeded the receipts, and it then became necessary for the money to be transmitted from the Custom-house, after a representation has been !mule to that effect by the Comptroller of the outport. In such case the Comptroller-General gives authority to a Clerk to fill up a printed form, which authorizes the Re !eiver-General, after the Comptroller-General has signed its to pay the amount required. That order, however, kola first be sent down to the outport and signed by the .o rtiptrollor there, before it can be cashed. It is then tnerally cas h e d b y some country b an k e r, whose agent pre ts it et the Custom-house, where, after it has been ex "lined by a clerk, who puts his initials on it, another Order or cheque is given on the Bank of England by the li eeeiver-General. In the present case the warrant is the "ne in question, the cheque was given for it, and the inn bey obtained at the Bank. The out-port from which it Purported tr come was, Fowey, and it is dated the 13th M April in the present year. On the 18th of August t his forged form was presented at the Receiver-General's 'Ace in the usual form. After it had heen e x am i ne d, the person who presented it was asked to put his game on it. lie wrote " For Praed and Co., James Maynard." Immediately after the order on the Bank had been given, it was presented on the same day by two per lons at the Bank of England ; one who presented the rheque said he would have the 1,9701. in notes, and the 2 L in gold, which he received. The man then wrote on t he cheque " James Maynard, for Smith and Co., 28, A behurch-lane." Two of the 5001. notes given were then returned in a quarter of an hour to be changed, and the person received gold fur them. The discovery of the forgery was made the same day; one of the clerks in the t e u"torn-house, i n l oo ki ng over the warrant, which must "e signed by three Comptrollers, suspected that one of the signatures, that of Mr. Cost, was not genuine, and re ferrtd to a book where the warrant should have been en tered, and found that it was not there mentioned. Infor !nation was immediately given at the Bank, but it was too 'ate, the two notes had been changed. There were two elerks in the secretary's office, whose business it was to ‘‘z•ensine warrants and put their initials on it, a Mr. Fier "i‘on for the western part, and a Mr. Williams for the ti orthern p ar t o f t h e ki ng d om ; H arr i so n bad been ill 'or some time, and Williams was supplying his place, and the warrant had his initials "C. W." The person R 'ho had committed the forgery it must be clear was one Wh o knew the forms of the office, (and that Harrison was lint there) or had been assisted by those who did. He sh ould first prove that the prisoners were well acquainted With each other ; that West and Maynard bad both been hoolmaaters, and had lodged together. The prisoner "rtes was at the time a clerk in the Custom-house. He Was then in the Comptroller's office, and had been in the Becretary's office. He also hail formerly lodged in the ',isle house with Maynard and West ; and about the period that this crime was committed he was seen drinking with thous at a public-house. On the same day when the offence : 744 c ommitted, one of the 51. notes had been traced to lives e ! 0 paid away by a woman named Jennings, who h with Maynard. Enquiry was then made for him, but Previous to that date the officer employed saw a trunk, ed by Miss Jennings to a hackney coach which drove h er to the Bull and Mouth, where places were taken for 'Minton. H e saw W es t and two children, but t Maynard. He went down to Taunton, when I . e , apprehended Maynard and West, who were with Jennin s another woman, and two children , at Public-hous g e. ' The Learned Counsel then stated several 144t abees of th e f o rmer poverty and present affluence of 6, prisoners. One note fur lOW. he could clearly trace to Jones, and other notes to the amount of 8001. had been b - ' ns mitted from Paris, and changed in London , from the b a ris bank ers . H e s h ou ld also prove that Maynard hail t,, -an g e d a considerable quantity of F rench mone y for — glish. After a few mere observations he proceeded to c all witnesses, of whom, we understood upwards of sixty Wer e in attendan c e. The trial will last till a late hour. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

COURT-NIARTIAL ON CAPTAIN DICKEN SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH, SErT. 15. TERMINATION OF THE COURT-MARTIAL ON CA rTAIN DICKENSON. This morning the Court assembled at 10 o'clock, and the impression that this long and interesting investigation would he finished, as it was said that Captain Dicken son would call no further witnesses, it was thought that the Court would, immediately on such intimation being made, proceed to and pronounce the judgment; however, in that we were disappointed, as the following witnesses were called. The anxiety as to the decision of the Court is great indeed ; several bets have been made, as to an un qualified acquittal or a slight censure ; the odds are in favour of the former. The first witness called was the carpenter of the Genoa, who was examined by Sir H. BLACKWOOD—Had you any assistance in car penters in fitting the Genoa for sea beyond your own crew? —None. Sir H. ThAcxwoon—Were they constantly employed until the work was completed ?—Yes. Sir H. BLACKWOOD-Was any exertion wanting on the part of any of the crew in preparing the Genoa for sea? —Every exertion was used. - Sir H. 13LAcxwoon---Do you think that more work could be done by your crew in a shorter period ?—Utterly impossible. Sir H. BLACKWOOD-Were you on deck when the mizen-mast went overboard on the morning of the 21st .of October, 1 827 ?—Yes. Sir H. BLACKWOOD-Did you observe what caused the wizen-mast to go over the side of the vessel?—lt was oc casioned partly by the wind and partly by swaying. Sir H. BLACKWOOD-Do you think the act of swaying upon the top rope alone would have caused it ?—No. . . Sir H. BLACKWOOD—Do you know what was done on the night of the 20th to secure the tottering mizen-mast, and whether any thing was done?—Yes; every ease was given to the mast. [Here witness entered into a long technical explanation, which none but those completely versed in nautical affairs could understand.] Captain ELLIOT-What was the sause of your being so long woulding the main-mast know of no other cause than it occupied a process of time to do so. Captain Erxityr—Were you from the morning of the 22d to the evening of the 24th getting the woulditvs on the mast?—From fatigue and over exertion I was obliged to be bled, which prevented me making any further obser vation. Capt. SMITH examined : PaEsioENT—Was the fire from your opponent kept up incessantly, or as the Turks generally fire ?—lt was not an incessant fire they ceased several times ; it was not as good as the fire from the Genoa. Admiral OTwAY—When your opponent ceased firing, and only fired attintervals, did the Genoa knock off firing also ?—I cannot positively say that our fire was wholly stayed, because their colours never struck, therefore there never was a total cessation. Admiral OxwAy—What was the diameter of the smallest round shot that struck the Genoa from her opponent ? To the best of my recollection ; there were two of 4f, the largest 7f, and the stone shot was 104 (that is 18, 21, 36, and 68 pounders). Captain GOADON-Had you a spring on your best bower?—We had. _ _ Captain GORDON—Did you observe the position of the best bower buoy at the time you were hauling the spring on the small bower ?—I cannot positively recollect. Captain GORDON—After you let go the best bower, did •ou heave in on the small bower chain ?—We did not. Captain Dtcxxxsox—Do you remember the direction of the last stone shot which struck the Genoa, and how lone was it before the battle was virtually ended ?—I per fectly well remember the direction of each stone shot, but I cannot speak positively as to the time the last was re ceived. The direction of each stone was at right angles with the keel, or a broad-side shot. Captain DicKENsoN—On which decks did they come? The main and lowest. The Boatswain of the Genoa was then called. PRESIDENT—Were you boatswain of the Genoa at the battle of Navarin? Was the Genoa, at the close of the action, much injured in rigging, &c.—Very much SO, generally. PRESIDENT—How soon after the battle did you begin to repair your rigging?—lmmediately after it ended. PRESIDENT—Do you think that every exertion was `made in netting your rigging to rights. Every exertion that could be made wan. PRESIDENT—How long have you been a boatswain?— Twenty-eight years. PRESIDENT—What part of her gammoning was in jured ?—Her inner gammoning. PRESIDENT—Were both your mainstays shot away? —The standing stay was shot away. Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD—Were the woundings of the mast undertaken immediately after the helm mast fishes were up ?—lmmediately. Sir HENRY - 13Lacicwoon—Can you recollect at what period they were completed ?—On the 24th of October. - Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD—Were all the seamen con stantly employed from the morning of the 21st to the evening of the 24th ?—They were constantly employed. Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD—CouId more work have been done in a shorter period ?—lt would be impossible. Captain ELLlorr—Do you know when the wounding of the mainmast was began?—On the 21st, some time in the fore part of the day. Captain Goanow—Did you knot the shrouds of the main rigging, or substitute new ones?—We knotted some, and substituted new ones for others. _ _ Captain GORDON—Do you recollect how many new shrouds?—Five upon one side and four on the other. Captain Goanow—At what time were they got over?— The 22d and 234 of October. Captain GoanoN—Were you ready to set up the rig ging when the mast were secured by the fishes?—All ready. Captain DicKENsoN then asked this witness one or two questions, merely as to the manner in which the shrouds were put, and also was there any deficiency in seamanship in the orders given, and the arrangements made so as to prepare the ship for action ; to which witness replied that every thing had been done that could be done. Lieutenant NORRIS was then called at the desire of Cap tain ELLIOTT, and was then examined by him. Captain ELLIOTT-What period of the action did the stone-shot come in at your quarters? Lieutenant Noa ais—l cannot exactly say ; I think about an hour after the action had commenced. Captain Eworr—Where were you at the time? Lieut. Nonats—l was about the sixth gun. Captain ELLIOTT—Can you speak positively as to the effects of the shot when it came in ? Lieut. NORRIS—It killed and wounded nearly every man on the 7th and Bth guns, and a sheep of Captain Bathurst's. Captain ELLtorr—Was that the shot that knocked the trunnion off the gun? Lieut. NORRIS—To the best of my recollection I think it was. Captain ELuorr—Do you feel confident that it was not a quarter of an hour before the termination of the ac tion ?—I have not now a distinct recollection of the time. The Coma then asked Captain Dickenson if he wish ed to ask this witness any questions ; to which he replied in the negative. The Court was then cleared, and after an hour we were admitted, when we learned that it had been engaged in considering the propriety of conceding to a request of Sir E. Codrington's, which was made in a letter. It was then ordered to be read; and it stated that from the report of the trial which appeared in the public Papers, some part of Sir Edward Codrington's evi dence was impugned, and he was anxious that himself, Captains Curzon and Baynes, should be examined to ne gative the imputation. The Court, deeming such an exa mination unnecessary, declined it. The Court was then cleared, and we were given to understand that judgment would be pronounced early to-morrow. The Duke of CUMBERLAND transacted busi ness yesterday at the Office of the Commander-in-Chief in the Horse Guards. Viscount STRANGFORD and Monsieur de NEUMANN, of the Austrian Embassy, transacted business yesterday at the Office of the SECRETARY of STATE for Foreign Affairs. The Earl of ABERDEEN and the CHANCEL. LOR of the EXCHEQUER left town on Monday, on a visit to Mr. SECRETARY PEEL, at his residence in Norfolk. BRISTOL, SEPT. 15.--C. SAVAGE, Esq. was this day sworn into office, as Mayor of this city, for the year ensuing. Despatches from Mr. GORDON, our Ambas sador at Constantinople, from Mr. DAwKiNs, our Resident in Greece, and also from Sir P. MALCOLM in the Medi terranean, were brought to the Foreign Office on Sunday night. Two Messengers came with the despatches, one of whom was sent off from Ancona seven hours after the other, haying orders to overtake him if possible. The first Messenger reached Calais before he was joined by the other Noesenger. BONAPARTE AND BERNADOTTE. Bourrienne, in an unpublished livraison of his interesting Memoirs, states that Bonaparte never forgave Bernadotte fin• not having seconded his plans at the time of the overthrow of the Di rectory. " 'time (he says) served only to increase this feeling of ill will ; and the further Napoleon advanced towards absolute power, the more he seemed to dislike those who had refused to sup. port him in the outset of his adventurous career. At the same time, the persons about the First Consul, who were well versed in the art of flat tery, took care to multiply reports and accusa tions against Bernadotte. I recollect one day when there was to be a grand audience at the Tuileries, Bonaparte was so much out of humour that I could not help inquiring what had disturbed him. I can restrain myself no longer (said he angrily), I will read Bernadotte a lesson to-day. He will be here, of course, and he shall have a reprimand, happen what will. It is time to have an end of this.' " I never saw the First Consul so furiously out of temper. He was so exceedingly violent that I dreaded the hour appointed for the audi ence. He left me to descend to the grand saloon but I managed to get down before him. Luckily the very first person I beheld was Bernadotte— he was alone, and standing in the embrasure of a window, looking out on the Carousal. Gene ral,' said I, running up to him, go away, I en treat you. I have good reasons for giving you this advice, as I will explain to you by and bye.' Bernadotte, seeing my extreme eagerness of man ner, and aware of the sentiments of esteem and friendship I entertained for him, consented to withdraw. I was heartily glad of it, for I knew the General's high spirit and keen sense of ho nour well enough, to be convinced that he would not endure the smart rebuff which Bonaparte had prepared for him. My scheme was attended by all the success I hoped for. The First Con sul suspected nothing, and merely perceived that he had missed his victim. When the reception was over, he said to me, Would you believe it, Bourrienne ? Bernadotte did not come?— ' So much the better for him, General,' replied I. Nothing more was said on the subject. The First Consul, on ascending to the apartments of Josephine, found the in his cabinet, and conse quently he could suspect nothing ; besides, my negociation with Bernadotte did not occupy five minutes. Bernadotte has always been very grateful for the little service I rendered him on this occasion."—Court Journal. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

The Bank of Ireland has given orders to their Branches in the country not to issue letters of credit at sight on Dublin, as heretofore; such letters of credit are now made payable at ten days after date. In consequence of which, the facility afforded to the country merchants re mitting loyment of their bills due in Dublin has been much curtailed.— Dublin Morning Register. The Chancery suit in which Mr. 'WELLES LEY has cut such a figure is now likely to terminate. The daughter of that gentleman by his deceased wife is to be under the care of the Duchess of WELLINGTON, and his two sons under the care of Mr. COURTENAY, once a master in Chancery, and now clerk to the House of Lords. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. WELLESLEY have, it is said, adjusted their differences and shaken hands. SIMPLICITY.—Major R- was not long since riding near a building which presented to his ad miring gaze a fine specimen of antique Saxon architecture. Desirous to learn something respecting it, he made some inquiries of a man, who as it happened was the souter of the village. This learned wight informed the inquisitive stranger that the building in question was reckoned a noble specimen of Gothic architecture, and was built by the Romans, who came over with haws Claws. " Friend,' . said the Major, "you make anachronisms." " No, no, Sir," replied the man, "indeed I don't make anachronisms, for I never made any thing but shoes in my life." —.Mirror. Letters were received yesterday from Norwich, which state that one of the most respectable of the in habitants shot himself yesterday at half-past two o'clock. The place was, in consequence of rumours concerning the cause, thrown for a time into the greatest confusion and agitation. A run on the Banks took place ; but this was unattended with any serious consequences. Expresses were immediately sent off to London to acquaint the town correspondents with the events which had transpired, and to avert the evil consequences which might otherwise have taken place. DUBLIN, SEPT. 13.—A gallant captain, at present quartered in this garrison with an ex-sheriff of a county not one hundred miles distant, and another com panion, got themselves into a very serious scrape last Thursday evening. They were on a " lark," and in the course of their perambulations brought a " ladye love" each to a bower of lilies in a place called Pye-corner. The gallant captain, to his surprise, discovered a young creature, not fifteen years old, whom he had been intimate with in some of his country quarters ; she, of course, ex hibited no very equivocal signs, of identification, and burst into a violent fit of sighing and sobbing. The three companions went up the stairs to one of the apartments, sent out for whisky to enjoy themselves, and after about an hour's delay, during which time singing and drinking formed no inconsiderable share of their amusement, when retiring they met the mother abbess, and said to her, " You'll have reason to know us again." The woman afterwards went unsuspectingly up stairs, and discovered the bed which was in the room on fire in four different places—feather bed, bed clothes, mattress, bedstead, cur tains, all in a blaze. With the greatest difficulty the fire was got under. The worst of the matter was, it was next door to a widows' alms-house, and, in case of the fire extending, nothing could have saved the poor helpless inmates from destruction. On Friday night the three lads went again to the same house to see how their work succeeded. Mother KELFOYLE, on recognising them, called the watch, and the prisoners were then taken, and led into durance vile, by a host of Charlies that would be almost sufficient to capture another Adrianople; nor would any bail be taken for them, as it was a direct charge of arson that was brought against them. Counsel on both sides appeared yesterday morning at the police office. After a good deal of discussion the felonious in.. tentions were foregone, the case resolving itself into ono merely of compensation.-.-Morning Paper. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING 1829. DONCASTER, MONDAY NIGHT.-When we sent off onr parcel last night the weather was so extremely fine, and had been all day, that the most weather-wise ventured to predict that it would last throughout the meeting. Scarcely, however, had our account left the town, before these very agreeable anticipations were wofully disappointed : a few large drops gave notice of the change, and in a few mi nutes were followed by one of the heaviest and most con sistent storms that we have had for weeks past : it did not merely rain—it descended in torrents for at least eight or ten hours. The effect of the rain will render the turf so heavy that none but strong horses will be able to get through it. It will give his Majesty's mare an advantage, for her running at Goodwood proved her ability to get through deep ground. She is now on her own ground, and is in great favour with the Yorkshire people, who turn up their noses at " your Zinganee," who they say is a bad gallopper and has no teach. They are also sweet upon Laurel, who, besides being in better trim than he has been all the season before, is allowed to run better here than any were else. Looking, therefore, at these two, at Granby, Medoro, Deiphine, and the largeness of the field, the north country knowing ones are in astonishment at the place Zinganee holds in the betting. There appears to be some doubt about Chifney's riding him, for Dockeray, who is also here, is said to have come expressly for that pur pose ; Arnull is also here, and is likewise said to be re tained, so that Lord Chesterfield has three jockies for one horse, and neither of them can say which will be chosen : with so perfect a knowledge of the horse, and such extra ordinary talent, there can be no doubt that the public would prefer him to any other jockey. The famous " dark" or " unknown horse," Altirphy has been here some days, having been brought for the express purpose of running for the cup, and some of the plates. By some unaccountable neglect or misapprehension, his trainer suffered the time for entering to go by without rutting down the horse, so that he is now here without the least chance of coming out. The trainer and many others had backed him for the cup, play or pay, and there is great probability that he would have puzzled some of the cracks. Since our last the town has received an accession of visitors to some hundreds in number; carriages and four have been rattling in every minute, enabling us to give the following addition to the li,t of arrivals already sent :—Lord Southampton, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Kilmaine, Lord W. Thynne, Lord W. Powlett, Baron Oxenstiern, Count Montrond, Sir Mark Wood, Sir W. Askew, Admiral Sotheron, General Sharpe, Hon. T. 0. Powlett, Hon. G. Anson, Hon. C. Anson, Hon. S. Wortley, Hon. W. Lascelles, Hon. T. Duncombe, Colonel Clifton, Colonel Townsend, Colonel Eustace, Colonel Gardner, Colonel Thoyts, Colonel Athorpe, Colonel Fane, Major Parry, Major Wood, Major Ellis, Major Yarhurgh, Major Flem ing, Captain Stewart, Captain Hibbert, Captain Ew bank, Captain Methold, Captain Smith, Captain Buller, Captain Owen, Captain Iryner, Captain Berkeley; Messrs. Willers, Ladbroke, R. Ewbank, W. Ewbank, R. Milnes, Nowell, M. Stapylton, Gratwicke, Gascoigne, R. Gascoigne, F. Charlton, Forester, Armitage, Watt, &c. Where so many are to be accommodated in so small a town, it is but a reasonable supposition that the inhabitants will make the most of their visitors ; and to do the Doncaster people justice, they are not the most backward in the world ; for instance, four bed-rooms and a sitting-room are 25 guineas for the meeting, and every horse a guinea far standing : the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's pay 50 guineas for their apartments; Christopher Wilson, Esq. 35 guineas for his; and there are several others who pay 30, 40, 50, and in two or three instances 60 guineas. In performance of our engagement to give a list of the horses likely to run for the St. Leger, we have made inquiries on the subject, and are enabled to submit the following statement of those that, at this period, are expected to come to the post to morrow. *Mr. Robinson's Bolivar—Garbutt Lord Cleveland's Voltaire—rode by Chifney Stotforth.--J. Day • Mr. Forth's Frederick—Owner The Exquisite—F. Buckle Lord Langford's Sir Hercules—Conolly Mr. Ridsdale's Clotilde—Templemaa Mr. Petre's Rowton—Scott Mr. J. Scott's Felt—Robinson Lord Grosvenor's Parnassus—Darling Duke of Leeds's Rhodacantha c.—Nelson Mr. Riddell's Lawn Sleeves—Johnson Lord Kilburn's Georgians colt—F. Boyce Mr. Nowell's Round-waist—Arnull *Mr. Attwood's Leonardo—Unknown Mr. Athorne's Wandering Boy—Jaques Mr. Earnshaw's Elastic—Hodgson Sir E. Dodsworth's Young Patrick—Nicholson Lord FitzwilHam's Sister to Mulatto—Lye Air. Powlett's Penbill—Unknown *Mr. Clifton's Don Jose—Ditto Mr. Gibbeson's Lady Sarah—H. Edwards Those marked * are doubtful. They have at last found out that there is nothing the matter with Sir Hercules, and that his cough was all moonshine ; he has been backed to some amount in the course of the day ; those who used their eyes when he was out must have made a good thing of taking the 12 to Iso freely offered. Stotforth's legs appear to be very queer, and it is not quite certain that he will run. Frede rick, Rowton, Wandering Boy, Clotilde, Voltaire, the Exquisite, and Duke of Leeds's colt, are backed freely : the others are in no great demand. (Te preserve ourselves from the charge of inconsistency, it is necessary to state, that the above remarks were made without reference to this day's running, in fact, before we went to the race ground.) The weather was fine till just before the walk over : it then began raining, and continued, with slight intervals, the remainder of the day. At the best, however, it was gloomy, and there is every reason to fear that it will be a rainy week. The company on the ground was numerous, and the Grand Stand seemed full enough : still it was not by any means a brilliant assemblage, nor were the equi pages so splendid as usual, the only carriage and six being that of the venerable Earl Fitzwilliam, who was attended by two of his stewards on horseback, and eight outriders. We were happy to see the noble Earl in such improved health, the more so as it has been in a declining state for some time. For the names of the visiters we need only refer to the lists already given, in which most of the leading fashion shies here are included. The Duke of Wellington is ex pected to-morrow morning. The following will be found a correct detail of this day's sport :-- The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 10 sovs. each, and 20 sovs. added by the Corporation, for 2 yr. olds, sst. 101 h. ; 3 yrs., Sst. ; 4 yrs., 9st. ; 5 yrs., 9st. 61b. ; 6 yrs. and aged, 9st. 1011). One mile and half. Mr. Ridsdale's ch. c. Tyke, by Tramp, 3 yrs 1 Lord Chesterfield's b. c. :Zinganee, 4 yrs 2 Lord Cleveland's br. c. Tamboff, 3 yrs Lord Sligo's b. c. by Cannon-Ball, 3 yrs 4 Lord Fitzwilliam's Dora, 3 yrs pd Mr. Golden's Robin Hood, 5 yrs So little were Tyke and the other two who were op posed to Zinganee thought of, that to have talked of the possibility of their heating Zinganee would have appeared a species of insanity ; however, tempted by the odds, some of the Yorkshire people (who have all along disputed the claim of the Newmarket pet to the high character accorded to him) had the temerity (as it was considered) to have a little on their own country nags, and according the 5 to 2 and 3 to 1 of the south country gentlemen were taken to some amount. At starting the odds were 5t02 on Zin ganee, and sto 1 agst Tyke. When the horses came to the post it struck us that Zinganee was a shade too fat, nor was his galloping in the same form as we saw at As cot ; indeed, they now say that Chifney declined riding him from a conviction that he was not exactly up to the mark. Tamboff made first play at a middling pace, Lord Sligo's being second to him : Tyke well laid in, and the " crack" last on the look out; they remained in this posi tion till near the rails, when an improved pace brought about a change in the places. Zinganee now began to show himself; he first went by Lord Sligo's horse, which had just fallen behind Tyke; he then got to evens with Tyke, and when at the distance Tamboff cried peccavi, and joined Lord Sligo's in the rear. Zinganee and Tyke ran a very severe race home, the Yorkshire horse winning by about half a bead ; rode by Templeman, Zinganee by Arnull, Tamboff by J. Day, and the other by Shepheid. Some are of opinion that Arnull waited too long : we do not think so. The Champagne Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. ; for 2 yr old colts, Bst. ; fillies, Bst. Sib. 114 A House in.

Forth's was thought as little of for this as he was for the Derby, and his winning it was quite as great a sur prise. So remote was his chance considered, that S, 9, and 10 to 1 were laid against him. They little dreamt of his having such a promising bud. At starting the odds were, 3 to 1 agst Redstart, 3 to 1 agst Riddell's, 6 to 1 agst St. Nicholas, 6 to 1 agst Brunswicker, '7 to 1 agst Brine, and Bto 1 agst the winner. Redstart and Mr. Riddell's were the leading horses at going off, the others lying at their heels, well up, with the exception of Bud, who was completely in the rear, not having started with the others. They continued in this order till they were near the distance, by which time Forth had contrived to fin•l his way through the crowd ; he then went right a-bead of all the others, the above two falling off, Bruns wicker and St. Nicholas taking up their ground; the rest of the race was all in favour of Forth, who won very cle verly by half a length, St. Nicholas being a length and a half or two lengths behind Brunswicker. After the race, Forth complained that the other jockies had gone off with out receiving the usual signal from Mr. Lockwood, by which he was not only shut out, but was actually obliged to start by himself,—and it is no small credit to him that he won under such disadvantages. The horse is in the 2-year-old stakes on Thursday, and in the Derby, and with good management this " Bud" will end in a rich blossom. The value of the stakes above described is 9251. The winner rode by Forth, Brunswicker by Scott, St. Nicholas by Robinson, Redstart by Nelson, Lady Mowbray (who cone in !ast) by Darling, Mr. Powlett's by Lye, Mr. Riddell's by Johnson, Mr. Tariton's by Tem pleman, Brine by Cenolly, and Penthesilia by H.

Terror took the lead at steady four-mile running, Gascoigne's next him, and Ballad Singer about a couple of lengths astern of him. This was the order of running till they were near the Red House, in their second rourad : the mare then began to draw upon the Louisa colt, and indulged by her dimi nutive rider, " Mr. Thomas Lye," was well up with her horses at the Red !louse. She remained with them till they were at the distance, where Tommy turned himself round, gave them one of his " winning" smiles (or grins, for he has not the merriest face in the world), and had all the rest of it to him , elf. Gascoigne's colt pulled up some lengths from the chair, and Terror (rode by Darling) came home in a most pitiable state of distress. Johnson rode Mr. Gascoigne's.

We have never been amongst those writers, if any such there are, who attribute the distress now unhap pily eo prevalent in the manufacturing districts to a single cause. The distress in question arises, in fact, from a complication of causes, the principal of which is the great amount of taxation, aggravated by the change in the cur rency. But the more immediate cause we take to be over production. This, however, is, in reality, nothing more than the effect of over-taxation, which, reducing the rates of profit, by rendering people less capable of purchasing manufactured articles, has induced the manufacturers to increase their business in order to keep up their incomes, though they thereby, in the end, only added to the evil. In this way, too, foreign markets hare been glutted with goods; and thus we see over-taxing has led to over trading. The introduction of machinery has greatly in creased the facility of carrying on this work of mischief. It has enabled the manufacturer to produce goods ad libi tum, and at the same time it has lowered the rate of wages, and thus rendered the labouring classes less ca pable of purchasing them. By the bye, we hear a great deal from the political economists, about the depreciation of the value of labour, in consequence of the emigration of the Irish ; but we never bear a word from them about the depreciation of the value of labour in consequence of the use of machinery. An Irishman, it is said, and said truly, will work for less than an Englishman, because he is content to be worse fed and worse clothed ; but it should be recollected, that an Irishman can only do the work of one man, and he must be fed and must be clothed in some way or other, whereas some machines will each do the work of several men, while they neither require clothing nor feeding. Thus does machinery, while it creates more goods than can possibly be created by manual labour, tend to destroy the market for the disposal of such goods.— Morning Herald City Article. On Friday evenino. last, Mr. NATHAN Garrott made his appearance in the streets,. steering his new steam-carriage, which appeared to move at the rate of six or seven miles an hour. He entered the town over Blackfriars-bridge, proceeded through the Market-place, up Market-street, along Mosley-street, King-street, Deans gate, and Bridge-street, homewards. The vehicle was followed by immense crowds of people, and occasionally stopped to take up and set down passengers, who seemed very much pleased with the treat of riding upon this novel conveyance. The quantity of smoke emitted was much less than we have ever seen from the carriage on former occasions.—Manch ester Guardian. CHESTER MUSIC MEETING. ---The last evening Concert took place on Thursday.

As, from the report which will be seen in an other column, we consider the trial of Captain Dickenson virtually terminated, we beg to make a few observations upon it, which, whatever may be the state of the proceedings, cannot tend to prejudice the defendant, or to affect the decision of his judges. It does not appear to us that a judicial proceeding forms in general the fittest subject of discussion for newspaper articles. So many things are, and must be, taken for granted with regard to the administration of public jus tice, and so very rare are the deviations from those strict rules of law, which in a manner, by their precision and their copiousness, preclude all exercise of discretion in the several parties, that all room for commentary by spectators appears to he equally closed up. When an individual is once put upon his trial, and the operation of law begins, there is seldom much anxiety felt that justice will not be fully and fairly administereds nor is the accused, the prosecutor, the Court, the evidence, or the sentence, in nine cases out of ten, made a topic of any earnest conversation, still less of reflections addressed to society at large. It requires one or more peculiarities of circumstance to invite and justify a voluntary al lusion by the press, to matters so formal and so rigidly provided for as the proceedings of our national tribunals ; yet such peculiarity will some times arise. The rank of the parties or their profession, the nature of the charge, of the evi dence, of the sentence, the time or motives of .. the prosecution, or its possible consequences to the public interest, do constitute occasionally, each and all of them, sufficient ground for direct observation or inquiry. Professional trials, above most others, may be classed among the curious and interesting varieties of judicial topic. A clergyman prosecuted for any heinous depravity, —a lawyer for fraud,—a physician for murder.— or a military or naval officer for misconduct be , fore an enemy, is sure to draw more than com mon attention from his countrymen, perhaps from there being in all such cases a wrong al leged to be done to every individual in the state by the imputed breach of that public i c i o l t e ifi a d o e i n w ce alk ui o n f l e r w life h h a i d c h the b ee been nab Enabled d professional to ex e r rti 6 alt z and abuse his especial prerogatives and powers . . These remarks have occurred to us on hearing and reading so much, for some weeks past, of the trial of Captain Dickenson on certain charges connected with the battle of Navarin, where he was Commander of the Genoa line-of-bathe ship, Captain Bathurst, the principal officer, having been mortally wounded early in the en gagement, and having died in the ensuing nights We refer our readers to the proceedings of this Court-martial, which have appeared already hi our pages, as they were reported on the spot. The charges or the evidence we shall not attempt to recapitulate, but confine ourselves to a very few observations on the facts which characterize this trial of Captain Dickenson, as one poses , sing not only a singular, but, in some respects, a painful interest. Sir Edward Codrington, who as Commander-in-Chief at Navarin disc played skill and courage in an eminent dcgree was called upon in the course of the present yea? for a certificate in favour of Captain Dickenson, avowedly as a requisite towards enabling that officer to obtain the Royal assent to his wearing a Russian order, conferred upon him some months before for his gallant behaviour in the action. It is stated by Sir Edward Codrington, that this was the second RusSian order bestored upon Captain Dickenson for his conduct on that day, and that it must have been sent by mis take, because other Captains of the same rank as Captain Dickenson had received but a single order. Now it will be acknowledged by mosy people, that if the gallant Admiral had mere! said, " I must protest against Captain Dickens° receiving two orders, because it would be a . (f.'s paragement of the services of other officers whose conduct was wholly unexceptionable, and who have received but one,"—it will be allowed, we say, that nothing could have been more rea sonable, and the common sense of the thing would have been so manifest, that neither the Admiralty could have h a d fi e ld f or re p re l iens i os i nor Captain Dickenson himself for complaint. ' But Sir E. Codrington did not confine his reply to the Admiralty within such unassailable limits. He refused the certificate, not on negative grounds, as " that Captain Dickenson had be haved no better than his neighbours ;" but on the dangerous one, that " he had behaved posi tively worse." The instances brought forward by the gallant Admiral of misbehaviour, Which justified his refusal of the certificate to Captain Dickenson, were such as appeared to the Admi ralty serious enough to call for confirmation by the sentence of a court-martial, or for an acquit tal, which might vindicate his character. Sir Edward Codrington strenuously and repeatedly protested against this course. He declared that he had not volunteered his opinion upon the comparative merits of Captain Dickenson, but had been applied to formally by the Admiralty itself, for the purpose ; and that he had no in tention of proposing a court-martial on the Cap tain, but, on the contrary, an extreme repugnance to the institution of any such measure. Here, then, the question assumes a complicated form. We do not know the ordinary laws and usages by which naval officers commanding-in-chief are governed, with respect to their reports to the Admiralty. In the army it is' a standing regulation, that an Inspecting-Ge neral, and indeed that every Lieutenant-Co• lone} commanding a regiment, shall make perio dically, confidential communications to the Horse Guards upon the merits, the habits, the degree of proficiency in his profession, the man ner (good or bad) of performing his duty, and so forth, of every officer under him, it being considered essential to the well-being of the ser vice that the personal character and conduct of every officer bearing the King's commission should be conveyed to head-quarters, and there understood. Undoubtedly this system vests in officers commanding regiments and districts an enormous discretionary power, namely, that of whispering away the reputation of men who have no means of defence against caprice or calumny, and who thus may be secretly ruined in the opi nion of those on whom their fortune depends, without their guessing at the hidden cause of their exclusion from every mark of favour. A heavy responsibility indeed rests upon the pos sessors of such tremendous means of mischief, and, if detected in foul play, they will be ruined. n ß ott it, ki as ww w h e ow hav fa e already rtheli acknowledged, avalp racacemay we do be si. complaint l t a o in t t h b a: , a of eo th m e m ar a m m y ii . ng l o t ifi d e o e e r, s_no p t ia s c e i e n s: o o n i: mm th ao e nm fa ae c n e stt: o pm f li i go t, :va t e o rh b iaiv e l et i h i b e e c es e ec s na sa lme r v oorfe tl m i aaetdrmietaicrtlailltalnitilizei:xul ano ther, ort c h u e t r e , d, o s r t taitliantg a th c a e t rt a ai s i p l e c ci a fi p c t s a e h r l v ic h e a , d pot nla o d c an s th r e e r p e b r i r n o d n e a o n u o c o a r p t, tai o n r Il n ad fi b tt e in ei g l h s i o ri m s e h ip ho fo u r rs se b a e ; - e vital
