Mr. Byng and Mr. Hume were loudly cheered, while Mr. Wool and Mr. Pownall came in for a very considerable share of the public disapprobation. Mr. Byng stopped a few moments at Kew Bridge, where the horses were taken from the car riage, and he was drawn up to the hustings by his friends of the labouring class. At 1 o'clock the Sheriff (Sir James Duke) said according to law, it became his duty to declare the state of the poll, and he trusted the meeting would give a fair hearing to all parties. The votes on the poll were for Byng ............... 4,796 Wood 4482 Hume 4,380 Pownall 4,273 The SHERIFF then declared George Byng, Esq. and Thomas Wood, jun., Esq., as having been duly eleetee Knights of the Shire, to serve in Parliament for the County of Middles ex . Mr. BYNG then came forward, and was loudly cheered. He said he appeared there to return thanks to the electors of Middlesex, who had returned him for the fourteenth time as their Representative — an honour which had never been conferred upon any other gentleman in England.— (Cheers.) He had had that honour conferred upon him, because from the time be entered upon public life he had always looked to the people as the only source of legitimat e authority.—(Cheers.) His late Hon. Colleague had been. defeated by the new constituency—the old freeholders had nobly done their duty. It had not been in the power of Mr. Hume to see and pay so much attention to the Clergy as he (Mr. Byng) had done—he was one of their best supporters, yet what had been I their conduct to him ? They had with seven honourable exceptions voted against him.---(Groans.) Those seven were ornaments to their profession—they were really Cler gymen, who worked seven days in the week—(Cheers) — and they were the only men whom he liked to see working , so long.—(Laughter.) Then, again, with respect to the Magistracy. Mr. Hume had, last Session, brought in a Bill which he (Mr. Byng) thought pressed rather too hard upon the Magistracy, and therefore he voted against it ; but had he received any support from them ? No ; not one scarcely but had opposed him with all their power.— (Groans.) The rate payers had nobly done their duty.— (Cheers.) They had not deserted him in that great struggle.—(Great Cheering.) During the next Session it was likely either the Government or Mr. S. Lefevre would bring in a bill giving a controlling power to vestries over the magistracy. When the question came before the House he would give it his utmost attention.—(Chee-s.) He had opposed an inquiry into the management of the Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell ; but next Session there would be an inquiry into every such Institution in the country—and then, if anything wrong was found out, he would, all at once, give his support to those who would set things upon a better foundation.—(Cheers.) lie had never been selfish during the whole of his long life,—(Cheera) and he promised those had so honoured him, that he never I would. He was a sincere churchman, and loved his fel- I lows ; but if there was not room in his heart for an equal love for the Dissenters, he would wish that heart to cease to r beet.—(Cheers.) With again thanking the electors of Middlesex for the honour they had done him, he retired amidst cheering. Capt. WOOD then came forward amid cheers :and up roar. He had, by the unbiassed suffrages of the electors, been placed in the highest place to which man could aspire. He owed the s;tuatibn he held chiefly to his Hon. Colleague. —(Cheers.) Elevated, however, as the position of his Hon. Colleague was, he would not exchange his e for it.- -(Great uproar.) Of the late Hon. Member (Mr. Hume) he had nothir , to complain of—he had conducted the con test fairly, and stood up for his principles, and the verdict of the County had been against them.—(Cheers and confusion.) Now the election was over he trusted that all animosity would be put an end to.—( Hear.) In the poll-book he would look for his friends, but not invidiously for hisenemies.—(Cheers.) He trusted all now would shake hands until another contest, which he was prepared for and did not fear.—(Cheers and confusion.) At the outset he stated the three great points on which • he differed with her Majesty's Ministers, in order that no mistake might take place. The verdict of the county was against the pernicious prir.ciplca of her Mojestv's present unprincipled Government. If his Hon. Friend was determined to uphold that Government, he bad the satisfaction to to tell him his vote was a nullity.—(Cheers, and con fusion.) The temper of the people now would not admit of the advocacy of the views of the present Government. —(Cries of " Oh, oh.") The people looked at them in a limited way—(Cheers)—viewed in their comprehensive sense they would lead to democracy, and tetimetely to the destruction of the institutions of the, couatry.— (Cheers.) With respect to the coetest, there had been neither bribery nor corruption, and the man who asserted the contrary did not speak the truth.—(Cheers.) He- thanked those who had supported him—they consisted of the rich the tradesm an , an d t h e labouring man.—(Cheers ) H e would always be found to be the friend of the poor, arid the bold assertor of their rights. He would never allow any connection between a Government to interfere with that link which ought always to exist between thel-) Consti tuentsy 1 ia and their repres e nt a ti ves . H e wou l d never sup port the present Governm en t, as l ong as t h ey brought for ward measures whi c h he believed wer e most decidedly injurious to th e coun t r y a t large.—(Hear.) rr d forced themselves into power upon a reluctant. Sovereign. —(Cheers and confusion.) He woull never allow th e Irish Church to be trampled upon under the vain pretence of doing justice to Ireland, which the present Ministers were now doing.—(Cheers.) Much bad been said about the King of Hanover : he (Capt. Wood) had as much to do with him as he had with gaming.—(Cheers.) He had never played at cards in his life, except once or twice with old women, and then he revoked. He fully felt the power of the immense engine the electors had placed in his hands, and he would take great care to wield it for the good of the country, and the maintenance of the Church and State. (The Honourable Gentleman concluded amid cheers, and much confusion.) Mr. HUME then came forward amid much chee r i ng and uproar, and addressed the electors as follows :—Gen tlernen, I entreat you to give me a patient hearing for the last speech I shall ever address you from these hustings —it shall not be a long one. In the year 1830 I had been fir nearly fourteen years a representative of the peopl e in the Mouse of Commons, and my conduct had been sufficiently prominent and decided to attract the attention of the electors of this metropolitan county, and to obtain their approbation. A majority of the electors called upon me to become their representative, but I long hesitated to accept the proffered honour ; and it was only by the per suasion of my political friends I yielded to their request at that important period, in the hope of advancing the cause of reform. I gave no pledge ; my past exertions in Par liament were taken as a guarantee that my duties as their representative should be performed honestly, fearlessly, and indefatigably,—(Heer, hear.) I was brought to these hustings in triumph on that and three subsequent elections, and I now stand before you a rejected candidate. What, Gentlemen, is the meaning of this, my altered po sition ? I am the same man I was, in principle and in acts. I defy any man to stand forward and say, " Joseph Hume, you have swerved from the principles you professed, or altered the line of conduct which then procured for you the suffrages ofthe freeholders of Middlesex ?" It is myconsolatiore under defeat, that no man can say this. What, then, have the Middlesex electors changed ?—Has it become indifferent to them whether a man of Liberal opinions, or one wedded to old abuses and corruptions, is to represent them ?--or, have they preferred a little present advantage to the expectations of great and lasting future benefits to them selves and posterity ?—(Loud and repeated cheers) — Or do they think, that having gained the Reform Bill, it is enough, and they may sit down quietly, and allow its enact ments to be carried out, or counteracted, by those who de nounced it as the destruction of the Constitution? I hope that to none of those things is my defeat to be ascribed but that it is owing to the arts and activity of the Tories. They have, during the last two years, made 4,000 faggot voters, many of them living in other counties, expressly to swamp the resident electors. The register of voters, in 1835, contained 8,005 electors, and the register of 1836 contains 12,817. I may have lost some supporters, but I have gained many more, as I have polled 1,300 or 1,400 more votes at this election than I did at the last. The majority against me are not residents in Middlesex, but men put on the register to answer the purpose the Tories had in view, of possessing themselves of the tivo seats for this county.—(Hear.) In this they have been disappointed, as the Liberals, generally by not plumping either for Mr. Byng or myself, as our .opponents advised them in numerous placards to do, have saved Mr. Byng's seat, though mine is lost. In the last Parliament your two representatives supported reform ; but, by the choice now made of one Reformer and one Tory, the county of Middlesex is virtually disfranchised, The metropolitan uring the night from the 28th to the 29th a remarkably bright aurora borealis was ;observed at Delman. borst. county will be a blank in the ensuing Parliament. (Bear.) I DINNER TO SIR RUFANE DON KIN. I admit that the Ministers have been backward its many reforms—in dismissing the Tory Commander-in-Chief—in proposing relief to the people---and extension of suffeage —in supporting the County Rate Bill, and many other mea sures--the want of which have made men indifferent. Ministers must reduce the power of the Magistracy, of the Lieutenancy, &c., if they wish reform to triumph. Various causes have been assigned for the great exertions used to exclude me. I believe the principal to be my never-ceasing opposition to Tory domination, and my de monstration of the evils the country has suffered under it. My exposure of the Orange conspiracy against the peace of this country, and the succession to the throne, by the heads of tat party, have exasperated their hatred to the highest pitch. The disgraceful outcry raised on the subject of the poor-laws is a mere pretence—it was equally ap proved by all parties in Parliament ; and though it may need recision, it is, as they well know, in principle, calcu lated to improve the condition of the honest and indus trious labourer. The conduct of my opponents in this respect has been most unprincipled. No less so is the outcry against my religious opinions, raises; by the Phari sees of the day. I am represented as having no re ligion as being an Atheist. This they who utter it know to be false. My whole life and conduct gives the lie to it.--(Hear, hear.) This cry was first raised in 1821 by those interested in, and profiting by the abuses of the Irish Church, which I then first exposed. My efforts were never for a moment slackened by those calumnies, 'and I have since had the satisfaction of seeing the King's Ministers, and a majority of the House of Com mons, agree to the opinions, and adopt the reforms, which I then singly recommended. By these my humble efforts to reform the abuses of the Church, I have well-earned the hostility of the generality of the Clergy, and they will be found on every occasion to be amongst my principal as sailants ; but I have looked, and still look, to the people, who are to profit hr my labours, to support me against all their hostility.— (Cries of " Hear," and cheers.) Let the Pharisees of the day continue to repeat, " Mr. Herne believes nothing —we believe all that the Church dictates to us." Great merit, truly !—A higher authority has propounded another mode .of judging of men's preten sions to religion—" By their fruits ve shall know them," says Christ. If tried by such a test,` fear not that any candid man should deem me irreligious. I have for the period of thirty years —twenty of them, consecutively, in Parlia ment—devoted myself to hard and unremitting labour, for the sole purpose of benefitting my fellowmen—(Hear) — I defy any man breathing to name one single act which I have done, as representative of the people, that can be at tributed to personal motives, or selfish interest. If I have erred, it has been an error of judgment! When cheered by the approbation of the people I have not been greatly elated—when opposed to their prejudices and ignorance, I lyre acted with consideration but firmness. I have never procured a vote by shirking a conscientious opinion, as some classes of voters in the county can testify. I have always kept in view the general welfare, and the public goed,—(Loud and continuod.oheering.) And now appearing befor e you a defeated candidate, I feel nowars depressed, for the testimony of my own conscience suffices me. What I chiefly deplore is the great ignorance which exists in this country upon moral and political subjects. The great struggle at the commencement of my political life was whether the people should be instructed at all. The Tory aristocracy and clergy at first opposed all endeavours to educate the people, declaring it *ould unfit them for . a life of industry ; but when they found that the promoters of education were able to proceed in spite of their opposi tion, they go t up t h e i r own sc h eme,and commenced teaching the people creeds and.cateelii.sms, to which half of those who repeat them attach no distinct meaning ; and this they call religious. education ! My idea of religious education is, that it should instruct men in their duties to their Creator, to themselves and to their fellow -creatures, in every station I anti rel a ti on o f lif e ; an d t h at t h e re li g i on w hi ch overrules apt men's moral and political conduct is vain. A man who calls himself religious, and sells his vote, or barters it for favour or profit, deceives himself, and betrays the trust re posed in him ; and those men who, with words of piety in their mouth, would disjoin religion from duty, by en courae,ing and promoting such immorality, are hypocrites who deceive their fellow -men. On them he the chief con demnation ; but the man who remains in wilful ignorance is not blameless. The people should with one voice de mand sound education for themselves and their children ; and should distrust all those professedly pious men, who tell them to read their Bible and go to Church, and leave politics to their rulers. Believe me, rulers are never to be trusted when the ruled know not and understand not their own rights. I therefore hope that the present Liberal Go vernment will lose no time in establishing a system of na tional education, calculated to disseminate sound, moral, and political knowledge amongst the mass of the people, who will then be more competent to select the men best fitted to procure for them good political institutions, and understand better the great responsibility they incur in the exercise of the elective franchise.—(Great cheering.) I shall not pretend to deny the regret I feel at the issue of this contest : it is, perhaps, the heaviest blow which has been dealt to the cause of Reform in the course of this general election, and they have not been few. I own, when I see such men as Ewart, Elphinstone, Roebuck, Thomp son, Bowring, and Hutt, also excluded from Parliament, 1 tremble for the cause which I have so much at heart. But let us hope that the Tory triumph will end here, and that where the electors ha re yet to decide, the liberal party, instead of being dispirited, will exert themselves doubly to redeem these misfortunes. I hays now only to thank. my friends and supporters for the confidence so long reposed in me, and to assure them that whilst I have health and strength, I shall never cease to promote, in every way that is open to me, those great principles of civil and religious liberty, the advocacy of which first recommended me to your notice. I offer my sincere and grateful thanks to those consistent Reformers who have supported me to this hour. And now, without one feeling of personal resentment to any man, I take my leave of all. (The Hon. Gentleman WAS loudly cheered throughout the whole of his speech, which gave rise to several interruptions from the other side.) Mr. POWNALL then addressed the meeting. He was received with loud groans and partial cheering. He ap peared before them an unsuccessful candidate, but not a dishonoured and a discouraged one. He had been accused of hiring a mob to drown the voices -of his opponents— whose voices were they which had before prevented him from being heard, and who now prevented him from being heard within a few yards of the hustings. He could only attribute it to the fear of his opponents, because, if he was heard, he would reply to the arguments of Mr. Hume in the language of a sincere and honest heart. He .vas glad to find that the party opposed to him had been ashamed o f the atrocious violation of public feeling which they showed on the day of nomination, in bringing forward the effigy of him they-call the leader of the Tories, with a halter round his neck. Was that the way in which they would serve all the Tories?--(Groans). The worthy gentleman then entered into a defence of the conduct of the magistrates of Middle sex with respect to the county expenditure and management of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, but the noise was so great a F n r ( i l ecnod should ns d t ineuteedr min , thated have the w on we could no .only catch a f ew wor d s i n a sentence.

I n t h e new Parliament it would be found that the Ministry would ta o k f e th c e are publ t i o n _ ta t k h e ny theirioold from tone the not dare t o d o much more harm, and he was afraid they w ere i ncapable of doing any good. He declared most solemnl y t h at there had not been a paid vote on their side ; at one p l ace be was told that he might have a vote t for a consideration. He at once put on hi s h a t, an d wen t o ff, referring the vo t er t o his opponents.—(Hear, hear.) He d ec l ared also most solemnly that he knew no case of i n ti m id at i on—neither bribery nor intimidation had b een sanctioned by either him or his Hon. Friend. He thanked t h ose electors who had voted for him ; also those who h a d h onestly voted against bins ; but to those who had promi se d hi m and failed to come forwa r d he left them t o settle th e question with their own consciences. —Hear, hear, h ear. ) He had opposed Mr. Byng with much regret— not b ecause ho did not know that ho was h h e a a victory, a friend of the Church—he knew him to be so—but he opposed him because his public votes were not, he believed, in , accordance with . his private views—for if they were to be allowed to become the law of the land that religion which he knew the lion. Member loved would be lost.—(Much hissing, amidst which the worthy Gentleman retired.) A vote of thanks was then moved by Mr. Byng, seconded by Mr. Hume, to the Sheriff, who returned thanks, and the crowd then quietly separated. D eridged from the Perwiek Advertiser of Saturday.) At four o'clock the Assembly -room was thrown open, and the company begun to occupy the seats. There were five tables, one at each end and side of the room, and one in the centre. The company having been all provided with seats, and the first course placed upon the table, Sir Ru fane and the Chairman entered the room, upon which the company rose and cheered until the General arrived at his chair. J. B. Orde, Esq., of Longridge, took the chair ;on his right hand sat Sir Rufane Donkin, P. J. Selby, Esq., of Twizel House, J. S. Donaldson, Esq., of Cheswick, and Alex. Thomson, Esq., of Seremerston ; and on the left of the chair were the High Sheriff, the Vicar, John Robert son , Esq,, &e. D r . J o h ns to n an d M r . Th omas S cott of Beal were croupiers. The Vicar having craved a blessing the company proceeded to dine, and at this moment there were ascertained to be 167 present—a greater number than ever dined together on such an occasion in Berwick. At the conclusion of the dinner the usual loyal toasts were given, after which, The CHAIRMAN again rose and called every gentleman to fill a bumper ; he begged that the glasses be filled to the brim, as he had now risen to give the toast of the even ing. I rise, gentlemen (continued Major Orde) to give the health of our distinguished guest—(Loud cheers)—distin guished, gentlemen, as a brave soldier on the field of battle —(Cheers)—distinguished in the Senate-house by his ad vocacy of every Liberal measure--(Cheers)—distinguished as the representative of Bernick-upon-Tweed—(L o ud cheers) —by his prompt assiduity and attention, and for every act that a worthy representative could practice to further . the best interests of the town—(Cheers)—distinguish e d as a man of urbanity L--at all times ready to lend his - aid to any one who solicited it at his hands—(Cheers)—distinguish e d in every sense of the wo4l as being an able statesman and a man of honour—(Cheers)—but, gentlemen, it is painful to say it, distinguished lastly as an injured man—(Loud cheers)—injured by a faction ; and Lord Bolingbroke says a faction is the worst of all parties. I need not stop to pass further panegyric on the Gallant General as a soldier and statesman, it would only be repetition of what you have often heard and read. The editor of that well-conducted paper, the Berwick Advertiser, has in that gentlemanly manner which characterizes all his writings, so ably pourtrayed the qualities of our late worthy representative, as to render any encomium from me quite superfluous. Nor shall I dwell longer on the merits of oar worthy guest, because it is im proper when he is present. Some time ago, it will be re membered, when the Commissioners on the Boundary Bill sent up their report., it was found to be highly injuiious to the Corporation and Borough at large. Meeting-.s were held, and petitions of remonstrance forwarded by the Town Council and inhabitants, and entrusted to Sir Rufane Donkin and Lord Howick, Mr. Bradshaw and Lord Ossol ston. What was the result ? The two former worked un ceasingly until the object was attained ; Mr. Bradshaw never condescended to notice the petition, not even to answer the Mayor's letter.---( Hisses.) But such is the mania amongst some for the outpourings of the Carlton Club, that 1 v erdy believe if that Club had sent Tzatzne the CLlfffe Chief, (and who was here the other day) a faction in this town world have swallowed him, pantaloons and all, provided the gold hee was there.—(Laughter.) To suns up all, I beg to propose the health of Sir Rufine Donkin.—(lmmense cheering,) Tone_o With helmet on his brow." Sir RCiI'ANE DoNKIN then rose amidst goat cheerinte, and said—Gentlemen, I beg leasa to make a few rema7lc , , sonic of which bear on cur present position. These before whom I stand are aware that the sovereigns of thisinng dom, for some ti me b ac k, h ave b e e n accustomed at inter vals to send back the representatives to their constituents, and demand a re-election, for the purpose of obtaining the sense of the country. This your young and meat gracious Queen adopted on her recent accession to the throne, and among others she sent beck the representatives of Beve ick upon-Tweed. By the election two new repre,entatives have been sent, and I would ask yam do those gentlemen repre sent the sense of the people of Berwick ?—( No, no !) Then how comes this ? Why, I will answer. A certain Asso ciation in London sent down two individuals seaseted by them, and by means well known induced a inijorily of the constituency to elect them. Theese twogentlemen arc sent to Parliament, under the supposition that they represent the sense of the people of Berwick. lam not acquainted with the Members of that Club which furnished this borough ':vith representatives, but if I were, I would ask them P they re cognized the 370 electors who voted for my opponents as Tories and as their associates—the enswer, I am sure, will be No ! I would ask if they recognize one half as such— again, they will say, No i Well, then, will they acknow ledge the 43 traitors who at the eleventh hour—for, Gen tlemen, it was at the eleventh hour—deserted me and their promises —will the Carlton Club recognize those as their associates ? Oh, no ! The To-iea in Berwick, that is, those who arc men of respectaliiiity, do not amount to more than 40 or 50.—(Cries of No, not so many." I will say' this much for myself, that if a dissolution er a va cancy occur, after the expression of fee:ing I have seen this day, I am resolved instantly to offer myself again.—( here the company rose from their seats, and gave several rounds of cheers.) I shall come again amongst you, and take my chance ; I will try whether the present conipany, whether the 206 plumpers, increased by the progress of Liberal sen timent, cen bring me into Perliament again, and thereby prevent the borough filling into the bends of the joint stock company—who, you may depend upon it, w ill h ave no mercy upon you.—(Sir Rufane resumed his seat amidst the most enthusiastic cheering.) The CHAlRMAN,—Gentlemen, the list time I addressed you I indulged in some ridicule with the name of the Caffre Chief, and as there is bet one step from the ridi culous to the sublime, I now take that step. I beg to give " The health of her Majesty's Ministel s."—( Immense cheering.) It is an established opinion that we never know the value of a friend until deprived of him. The present Ministers had many difficulties to contend with during the reign of our l u te l ame nted a nd in man y respects excellent Sovereign—difficulties almost sufficient to supersede their best, intentions. lam convinced that a more enlightened and liberal Ministry never existed. P. J. SELBY, Esq.—Gentlemen, I have to propose '• The health of Earl Grey, the father of Reform."—(Loud cheers.) To that Nobleman we are indebted for that great measure of Reform which is the renewal of the Magna Charta.— (Drunk with immense cheering ; the company rose from their seats a second time, and gave another round of cheers for Earl Grey.) The CHAlRMAN — Gentlemen, I beg you will excuse me for interrupting the routine of toasts, but a note has just been handed me, which requires that I should give some explanation. The note is as follows :—" Dear Sir, Your allusions tending to ridicule the Caffre Chief arc not agreeable to a majority of the company." Now, gentle men, 1 can assure you that 1 had not the slightest inten tion to cast reflections either on the gentleman alluded to, or the mission on which he is sent.—(Cheers.) I myself have spent eleven months in Giffraria, and I have visited the Court of Guiaca, and never in my life did I associate with a more friendly or a more generous people. Were I therefore to speak disrespectfully of them I should esteem myself one of the basest individuals on earth. J. S. DONALDSON, Esq.—Gentlen;en, the toast I have to propose is " Lord Mulgrave and Justice to Ireland.— (Great cheering.) Tune—" St. Patrick's Day." THE PRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS. At this moment a deputation from the non-electors of the borough arrived, for the purpose of presenting an ad dress to Sir Rufane. The deputation having arranged themselves before the chair, Mr. Donaldson, teacher, who carried the address, stated that the address which he held in his hand was signed by nearly si,e hundred of his fellow townsmen, non-electors of the borough. The address had been agreed to the previous evening. and the signatures had been all attached subsequent to nine o'clock that morning. Mr. Donaldson then read the address, after which other toasts were given, and the company separated. THE UNITED SERVICE .JOURNAL.—The con tents of the number for August are, as the contents of is long line of predecessors have generally been, equally edifying to the two great professions whose interests are represented and supported by the work, and entertaining to all the rest of the world. W e k now o f no per i o di ca l i n w hich more sterling in formation, more agreeable reflection, or more diverting remi niscence is to be found than in this. We might refer to many of the mote recent numbers, and assuredly to the present, for proofs that while its first grand claim rests upon its representa tion of the interests of tli^ two services, arid upon its admirable and continuous supply of papers calcuktdd to exalt the charac. ter of those services, it also possesses a fund of interest, both light and serious—comprised in narratives, adventures, sketches, and notabilia, remarried with sea and land, to which the " miscellaneous public" may repair, with a sure promise of reward.—Court Journal. The following rather curious scene occurrca at Dal keith on Tuesday. The Rev.

Highness for the scene of these festivities was a large open meadow sur rounded by trees, situated in a lovely valley near the vil lage of Hyde Paella, on the Asiatic sbo..e,.about a mile from Scutari. The principal 'amusements .consisted of horse-riding, dancing on slack and tight ropes, tumbling, juggling, &c., performed by a party of Germans, who . had been sent for by the Sultan expressly for the Occasion.' A spacious circus, enclosed by a low barricade, .was erected in the centre for the equestrian performances, which Were really such as would have done credit to a' DucroW or Fraticoni. The side of the hill to the right' Was cow-red by the green tents of the regiment of Imperial Guard, 'who kept the ground ; and on an eminence immediately ij front, near where the kiosk occupied by the. Sultan Himself was situated, magnificent pavilioni were pitched, in which were tables spread out with delicacies 'and luxuries of every kind, for the reception of the vfficers of the household and such of the Foreign Ambassa dors, with their suites, as chose to accept his High ness's invitation to participate in the festivities, and the whole was surrounded by an outer . barrier to keep off the immense concourse of spectators, who, undaunted by the insufferabl e h eat o f t h e weather, flocked from far and near to see the sports. One side of the arena was devoted en tirely to the women, who, I need scarcely add, are always separated from the other sex, and the curious (lea of their extraordinary costume, being all cloaely enveloped in their ashmacks and ferijees, when such an immense mass of them were seen congregated together, formed not one of the least striking features in the spectacle, but where some times the jealous cloak was thrown a little bask, and the envious veil loosened to allow its fair wearer to breathe more freely, in the immense crowd a beauty was disco vered beneath, to be equalled only by the celestial houris of the Alahometan . Paradise. The surrounding ground, on every side, was covered by the elegantly gilded grace fel arabas, containing the harems of the different Paellas and 10ffiecis of Court, their gorgeous awnings of scar let or green velvet embroidered with gold, bedecked with gold or silver spangles glittering in the sun, and the heads of the lazy white oxen, which dragged them so wearily along, fantastically decorated with mirrors reflecting the re - lit in every direction, as if to co n t es t w i t h t h e ra di ance of the brilliant eyes peeping from beneath the ashmacks of the veiled beauties-who reclined an the cluhroHered silk- cushions within. The diversified colours of the immense variety of costumes of Turks, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and Fr.alks, who crowded on every hand ; the picturesque appearance of the numerous groups seated on their tmts and carpets under the shade of every tree ; the rental:tie beauty of the surrounding scenery, heightened by the extreme fineness of he weather, all tended to render this s cene one of the gayest, the most fanciful imagination cotikl p )ssibly'coneeive. But it. would require the pet' of the poet and the pencil of the painter to convey to those Rho have ncicr been in the Bist time, faintest idea of the effect of on orieet.ti spectacle ; suf. _flee it, therefore, to add that all the world of Constantinopla was there, and though this f6te was perhaps, as far as exhi bit ions . go, far inferior to that of the marriage of Said Pacha and some others, it was genera fly admitted by the ladies to have been as merry a three days as they had ever passed.

About two o'clock in the af:ernoon of August the Ist, the inhabit .nts of bale Long-street (Aungcr.strest), Dublin, were thrown for a considerable time into. the utmost dismay by the fail of the house, ,No. 1. It crumbled from a ft,urth story to the foundation-stone, almost clicking up the street, and, dragging a great part of the house No. 2, adjoin ing, and its enkre side wall from the top to bottom along with it, left that edifiee a .complete wreck, and in a most dange.ous eate. At the other side of the house which fell was an open seacr, part of which was occupied by a temporary shed. A largo quantity of the rubbish, Whi c h wou ld ot h erw i se have been in all probability precipitated into the street, tumbled in this direc tion.

The lo dyers consisted, as we' have learued, of two fe miles (servants cut of place), named Maria Close and Eliza beth Gerrard (both of shorn were in the two pair room at the time of the aecident), and a poor tradesman, his w ife. and three children. This :ran happened to be out at his work, and it is said his wife most providentially escaped with her chil dren into some of -the neighbouring dwellings, w h en t h e fi rst crash of the roof was h ear d above. 'As soon es the intelligence of the accident reached the Paying B oar d h ouse, a body of labourer s was immediat e ly sent to clear away the timber and brick- work, and in less than the eeurse of a, hour they sue ceeled in extricating the wernen Close and Gerrard from this mass of ruins. They had fallen together through the flooring, and were found under a small angular recess, caused by the descent of the staircase, which mast luckily peeserved them front being buried beneath the weight of the old walls. One of theei was immediately removed to Mercer street Hospital, apparently not very severely injured, although her head was cut and her body bruised in various places. The other was brought into an oKosite house, ant we believe, did not re ceive any serious hurt. She was, however, as may be sup posed, touch frightened, but was a bl e to spea k i n a short time after the occurrence. The Paving Board men, under the superintendence of an officer belonging to thAt establishment, had cleared away the passage in front of the street about fire o'clock. —Dublin paper. FIELD SPORTS OF THE GAEL—The Chili of True highlanders, an association in. London which combines the preservation of the national dress and customs of their an ' ewers, with affording occasional pecuniary assistance to • the less fortunate of their countrymen, at so great a distance from their homes, had their annual gathering oa Black heath, to enjoy their favourite, manly, and invigorating • game of Camachd, or Shintie, on the 19:h ult. The spec facie of a body of Gael, assembled in their ancient garb, arrayed in various coloured tartan—each bearing on his " Bennet cheek" the respective badge of his clan—heath, pine, whins, broom, br ao l ag , & c . never f a i ls to attract numerous spectators, and the fineness of the day brought together numerous groups of the respectabl e i n h a bi tants o f this fashionable neighbourhood, the animation of the scene being enhanced by the thrilling notes of the mat tial piobraclid, and the evolutions which precede the cemmencement of the play. Indeed, a view of the wild Scots" from the .. far north," excites more interest among our southern friends than a similar muster of Poles, Greeks, or Turks, whose costume, it must be allowed, is certainly imposing. The philabeg is peculiarly well adapted for this game, and the performers are all obliged to be kilted to the knee. It. is not in London, p.n-ish meeting pnrith, or clay challenging elan ; but although it is a friendly contest among country men, .the ardour with which they strive to gain the hale is equally keen, while many awkward falls are given, and not unt - equently well mauled shins bespeak the earnestness of the struggle. A dance be fore the tent usually concludes the exercise of the field, when the party march to the inn, and sit down to dinner, terminat ing the day's enjoyment over a social glass t f toddy, dedicated to auld acquaintainship and the cement of friendship, recalling to each other's recollection the transactions of youth, and the events of " the days that they have seen," not forgetting the friends who sojourn " beyond the mouth," end within the hos pitable gerbh criechan. —lnverness Cuarier. THE NIGER.—Mr. Laird, in his narrative of the last expedition into the interior of Africa, describes the scenery of the Niger as bring in many places of the mo-t magnificent description. Towns and villages, populona as bee-hives, ahound'on its banks, some on a level .with its waters, aid some perched on high tablelands, or nestled among steep crags, so as almost to bid defiarice to attack. Generally speak ing, he found the waives of tK: mountain districts active, bold, intelligent, and as straightforward AS it is possible for savages to be; but the inhabitants of the lowlenda, ceuite the reverse, being made up of fraud, cunning,- and cowardice, so that it was n xt to impossible to trade with them on any satisfactory basis.

The confluence of the Sherry is just in' sight, and arange of low hills on the northera bank teedereal east-north- east while on the wcstern bank of the were'tvro re markable, isolated table-lands of a romantic and beautiful ap. rearance, giving a finish to a picrure to which no clescription can do adequate justice." Tho whole populathm of the Niger is, it seems, of a commercial character, men, woman,' and chil d, cn being all busily engaged in carrying )rit• ado. Th e tra fL fic in shares, cloth, and gold, hcwevcr, i 3 cocauci to the men, but every thing else is managed by the women, who are as ex pert as Jews in the art of overcharging,
