This was more than we had anticipated, as the Cup (or, correctly speaking, the shield). like the St. Leger, had excited little interest in the sporing world until within forty-eight hours of the racy, when the bitting commenced, and, up to the close, was exceedingly animated. The racing came off as follows : 'lite Three-year Old Stakes of 200 sws. each, h. ft. , colts, 8.,t, 61h. ; fillies, Sst. :31b. St. I.eger Course. 4 Subs.

Mae, who had so little the best of the struggle. up to the stand that itobinion went up to their quarters to he ready in case h should fail. Tills appeared SO likely to be the case at the end of the stand that he thought it prudent to run by them, and won easy by three parts of a length. Alio Mac beat Wrestler I,v a head.

Alter one false start, in which the majority of the horses ran as far as the Red House, the signal was gi%en, and they went away, but in so confUsed and unsatisfactory a tnanner that Lye kept his horse (It:other to Henriade) in the rear, in the expec tation of a'recal, while Richard Roe and Kochisin wire left I,l:ind altogether. The F.tiry Queen tool: the lead, followed by Mermaid, Hackfall, and Barharino, the Frederica colt lying b , hind near the inside rails, rather than to the left of Btrba rina's track. About a distance and a half from home Brother to Ilenriade joined the front rank, and at the distance Harry Edwards made an attempt to do the same, hut in the act of diing so Berbarina closed upon him, and drove hint against, and very nearly over, the rails—it was mifacle that he es. ca,.ed. Edwards was obliged to draw his horse hack, and it was not until Brother to dienriade and Mermaid were head awl head, hard at work, within twenty yards of the chair, that he caught them, and won cleverly by three parts of a length. A race between the other two ended in the Duke's colt geiting second place. The Fairy Queen was fourth, and Bar ba: init fifth. After the race a complaint was made about the start, and evidence heard Ly the stewards, who decided it to be fair. The winner is in the Derby.

Except that Abraham aoil Egeria occasionally changed places, there was no change till they reached the distance, where Egeria dropped off, and Puff went up to Abraham Newland.

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1837 We yesterday briefly noticed the engrossing subject of :he Ballot, and laid before our readers a summary of the arguments for and against that measure from the pen of Mr. SYMONS. There is one objection sometimes made to the Ballot which it did not come within the scope of Mr..SYMONS'S " Ten Minutes' Talk" to notice. One occasionally hears it stated by an anti-ballot;st when his other arguments are exhausted, that it is impossible to devise a method of voting which would secure perfect secresy. This, it is needless to say, is mere assertion, dashed with a spice of audacity. Were there no other methods in exist ence—in esse, or even in posse—those adopted in France and in America would be , a sufficient answer to such impertinent cavillers, for there complete secresy is secured. But the modes of attaining this desirable end are numerous—we might say infinite ; for what limit is there to human ingenuity? Our Contempo rary, the Spectator, some months ago described a mode of voting by ballot, illustrated with diagrams, which, in our opinion, combines in an eminent de gree the two great requisites in the process—secresy and simplicity. It is as follows : " The Voter presents himself es usual to the Returning Officer for the verification of his vote ; having been found on the register and all questions put to him satisfactorily answered ; he is told that he may go to the further side of the ballot-box, and the way to it is opened for him. Upon getting in front of the box, he finds a screen on each side, to prevent his beinig seen ; and opposite to him, at a moderate height, the names of the candidates upon a card, and a steel bodkin placed by him. The names are covered with a glass ; how is he to touch the card ? He sees a hole opposite to each name, (say Cooke, Bruce, and Adams); he thinks Cooke and Adams men of talent, of virtue, and of courage, and presses the bodkin-point into the holes opposite their names. The card is marked —the vote is given ! If he please, he may pull a slide to wards him, and see the card fall into the ballot-box ; or he may go away, assured that the card he has marked will fall - into the ballot-box before another voter can reach it. " Nothing can be more simple than the above process. A blind man might vote, by feeling the holes opposite the names, which are so regulated as never to be more numer ous than the candidates ; illiterate persons, the possible loss of whose votes might induce all parties to teach them to read, may discover the names of their candidates by being previously shown their relative position on the card ; and some infirm persons, whose votes the law now neglects, would be the only persons who could, as they may under the present, indeed under any system, complain that their votes may, by some accidental and very rare event, be lost." It may be added that the adoption of different co lours for the of the different candidates would render any mistake on the part of the most illiterate person almost impossible. The looseness, or rather the want, of p r i nc i p l e which the Times, that great emblem and beau ideal of apostacv, habitually exhibits when it has to animad vert on the character or conduct of a political oppo nent, is proverbial. Without the least remorse or compunction it assails every person of liberal prin ciples that happens to come in its way, with gross and unfounded abuse. It is enough for a man to be any thing but a Tory to procure an outpouring of its wrath ; but if he happen to be placed in an official situation, he may calculate on receiving a double por tion of its slanderous venom. The readers of that journal have of late been sluiced with this species of entertainment. If a county elec tion on which the Tories expected a victory went against them, the columns of the Times supplied the reason of such a disaster. The Liberals were all scoundrel, the Lord Lieutenant was a knave, and the Sheriff a rogue. Not one of these functionaries did his duty, or very different would have been the result. Among other gentlemen thus bespattered by the leading Hanoverian journal, Mr. CURRIE, the Sheriff of Banffshire, came in for a full share of notice. It is well known that the party felt, and feel peculiarly sore at the issue of the Scottish elections. Their calculations, particularly those of the Times, were completely falsified. This naturally produced an irritation of temper, which found its proper vent in attacking, with scurrilous language, the parties whose duty it was to superintend the eections, which turned out unfavourable. There was therefore a strict pro priety on the part of the Times in imputing the majo rity of 71, by which Mr. DUFF carried his election against Mr. FERGUSON, to the partiality of Mr. She riff CURRIE. It was a satisfactory mode of account ing for a very unpleasant result, and Mr. CURRIE was held up by the oracle of Printing House-square as every thing that was bad—every thing, in short, that he ought not to be. Now, there is no testimony so strong as that of an enemy, when it is in one's favour. If there was an individual on the face of the earth who could have suf fered by Mr. Cultßix's conduct, that individual was Mr. FERGUSON, the Tory candidate. And this is the language he uses at a public dinner, when he has read the abusive attack of the Times upon Mr. CuRRIE:— " While I have spoken of a paper which has raised a foul calumny on me, and done me great wrong—(a Gentle man : It is an honour to be abused by it') —I would wish to speak of another paper, which has made a most un founded attack on a gentleman in this county—the Sheriff of Banffshire. I never saw a more unfounded and a more unjust attack, and one more like the manner of those who oppose us ; and so hurt was I at it, that I at one time thought of answering it myself. I must declare that what ever opinions Sheriff Currie may have held when he was a politician—for since his being made Sheriff he has ceased being a politician—he has since then conducted himself in a most impartial manner, and dispensed justice with the greatest integrity. He has done all the gc (RI to the county in his power ; and the charge in the Times is unfounded.— (Cheers.)" We think that Mr. CUR RIE and Mr. FERGUSON are much indebted to the 'Times for its being the means of eliciting a testimony so honourable both to him who made it, and to him in whose favour it was made. We return to the important subject of Dr. CHAN NING'S address on Temperance. It expresses so en tirely our own opinions that we propose merely the connecting of a few extracts, for which we could not af ford space in our columns of yesterday. Dr. CHAN NING's description of the " essential evil" of intem perance is too striking to occupy other than tl►e first place : " I begin with asking what is the great, essential evil of intemperance ? The reply is given, whin 1 say, that intemperance is the voluntary extinction of mason. The great evil is inward or spiritual. 'll►e intemperate man di vests himself, for a time, of his rational and moral nature, casts from himself self-consciousness and self-conimand, brings on phrenzy, and by repetition of this insanity, pros trates more and more his rational and moral m.vers. lle sins immediately and directly against the rational nature, tl.•at divine principle, which distinguishes between truth and falsehood, between right and wrong action, which distin guishes man from the brute. This is the essence of the vice, what constitutes its peculiar guilt and woe, and what should particularly impress and awaken those who arc labouring for its suppression All the other evils of intemperance arc light when compared with this, and almost all flow from this ; and it is right, it is to be desired, that ali other evils should be joined with and follow this. It is to ha wl en a man lifts a suicidal arm against his highest life, when he quenches reason and conscience, that he and all others should receive solemn, startling warning of the great ness of his guilt ; that terrible outward calamities should hear witness to the inward ruin which he is worLi,g ; that the hand-writing of judgm.mt and woe on his countenance, form, and whole condition, should declare what a fearful thing it is 'or man, Gon's rational offspring-, to renounce hi; reason and become a brute." Taken in connection with the above, how true—how awfully impressive—is the following picture of the hopeless desolation of heart, under which hundreds of thousands are at this moment sinking into premature graves ! " Intemperance is to be pitied and abhorred for its own sake, much more than for its outward consequences. These consequences owe their chief bitterness to their criminal source. We speak of the miseries which the drunkard carries into his family. But take away his own brutality, and how lightened would be these mise ries. We talk of his wife and children in rags. Let the rags continue ; but suppose them to he the effects of an innocent cause. Suppose the drunkard to have been a virtuous husband, and an affectionate father, and that sickness not vice has brought his family thus low. Sup pose his wife and children bound to him by a strong love, which a life of labour for their support and of un wearied kindness has awakened ; suppose them to know that his toils for their welfare had broken down his frame ; suppose him able to say, " we are poor in this world's goods, but rich in affection and religious trust. I am going from you ; but I leave you to the Father of the fatherless and to the widow's God." Suppose this, and how changed these rags ! How changed the cold naked room ! The heart's warmth can do much to withstand the winter's cold ; and there is hope, there is honour in this vir tuous indigence. What breaks the heart of the drunkard's wife? It is not that he is poor, but that he is a drunkard. Instead of that bloated face, now distorted with passion, now robbed of every gleam of intelligence, if the wife could look on an affectionate countenance, which bad for years been the interpreter of a well principled mind and faithful heart, what an overwhelming load would be lifted from her. It is a husband, whose touch is polluting, whose infirmities are the:witnesses of his guilt, who has blighted all her hopes, who has proved false to the vow which made her his ; it is such a husband who makes home a hell, not one whom toil and disease and providence have cast on the care of wife and children." To remedy so crying an evil, Dr., CHANNING says : " We want better teachers and more teachers for all classes of society, for rich and poor, for children and adults. We want that the resources of the community should be' directed to the procuring of better instructors as its highest concern. One of the surest signs of the rege neration of society will be the elevation of the art of teach ing to the highest rank in the community. When a people shall learn, that its greatest benefactors and most impor tant members are men devoted to the liberal instruction of all its classes to the work of raising to life its buried intel lect, it will have opened to itself the path of true glory. This truth is making its way. Socrates is now regarded as the greatest man in an age of great men. The name of King has grown dim before that of Apostle. To teach, whether by word or action, is the highest func tion on earth." Music, dancing, and the drama are among the pre ventives to intemperance of which Dr. CIIA NN ING— next to the cultivation of true piety among the people —would promote the especial cultivation. Of music, he finely observes : " I am not now called to speak of all the good in fluences of music, particularly of the strength which it may and ought to give to ; the religious sentiment, and to all pure and generous emotions. Regarded merely as a refined pleasure, it has a favourable bearing on public morals. Let taste and skill in this beautiful art be spread among us, and every family will have a new resource. Home will gain a new attraction. Social intercourse will be more cheerful, and an innocent public amusement will be furnished to the community. Public amusements, bringing multitudes to gether to kindle with one emotion, to share the same in nocent joy, have a humanizing influence ; and among these bonds of society, perhaps no one produces so much unmixed good as music." The following remarks on the drama will not prove palateable to the majority of either English and Ame ►ican managers. Nevertheless their puVication may be attended with some advantages to the public—at all events they merit the serious consideration of those who rank the stage among the highest social instruc tors of a civilized people : " In its present state, the theatre deserves no encou ragement. It is an accumulation of immoral influences. It has nourished intemperance and all vice. In saying this, I do not say that the amusement is radically, essentially evil. I can conceive of a theatre, which would be the noblest of all amusements, and would take a high rank among the means of refining tin: taste and elevating the &iaracter of a people. The deep woes, the mighty and terrible passions, and the sublime emotions of genuine tragedy, are fitted to thrill us with human sympathies, with profound interest i❑ our nature, with a conscious- ness of what man can do and dare and suffer, with awed feeling of the fearful mysteries of life. The of the spectator is stirred from its depths ; and the lethargy, in which so many live, is roused, at least for a time, to some intenseness of thought and sensi sibility. The drama answers a high purpose, when it places us in the presence of the most solemn and striking events of human history, and lays bare to us the human heart in its most powerful, appalling, glorious workings. But how little does the theatre accomplish its end ? How often is it disgraced by monstrous distortions of human nature, and still more disgraced by profaneness, coarseness, indelicacy, low wit, such as no woman, worthy of the name, can hear without a blush, and no man can take pleasure in without self-degradation. Is it possible that a Christian and a re fined people can resort to theatres, where exhibitions of dancing are given fit only for brothels, and where the most licentious class of the community throng unconcealed, to tempt and destroy ? That the theatre should be suffered to exist in its present degradation, is a reproach to the community. Were it to fall, a better drama might spring up in its place." Another brief extract, and we shall dismiss all further reference to an address of which we have now embodied the substance in our columns. It is an ap peal to the Christian sympathies of the inhabitants of Boston ; and may be applied to the inhabitants of London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Liver pool, Manchester, Birmingham, and Sheffield with equal propriety, and we trust with some degree of effect : " Those classes of society which have light, strength, and virtue, are bound to communicate these to such as want them. The weak, ignorant, falling and fallen ought not to be cut off from their more favoured brethren, ought not to be left to act continually and exclusively on one another, and thus to propagate their crimes and woes without end. The good should form a holy conspiracy against evil, should assail it by separate and joint exertion, should approach it, study it, weep and pray over it, and throw all their souls into efforts for its removal. My friends, you whom God has prospered, whom he has enlightened, in whose hearts he has awakened a reverence for himself, what are you doing for the fallen, the falling, the miserable of your race? When an improved Christian thinks of the mass of unpitied, unfriended guilt in this city, must he not be shocked at the hardness of all our hearts ? Are we not all of one blood, our nature, one heavenly descent ; and are outward distinctions, which to-morrow are to be buried for ever in the tomb, to divide us from one another, to cut off the com munications of brotherly sympathy and aid ? In a Chris tian community, not one human being should be left to fall, without counsel, remonstrance, sympathy, encouragement, from others, more enlightened and virtuous than himself." The intelligence from Madrid is exceedingly inte resting. Accounts received by way of Paris mention that " the corps of ESPARTERO, consisting of 1,600 infantry and 800 cavalry, occupied on the 15th the environs of Madrid, his head quarters being the Cara bauchel. He was to move on the same day. The enemy was retreating on Cuenca." The feeling of the people in the city was most enthusiastic, but the Mi nistry were in a state of complete stupefaction. A letter from Madrid, contained in a Morning Contem porary, says : " The Ministers and Cortes have been most of the night i❑ consultation. The latter proposed several measures for the defence of the city, which were approved of. The most important of these is the conversion of the noble convent of the Saboas into a fortification. It is strong, extensive—if well defended, indeed almost impreg nable. The inmates were to be immediately re moved ; but in walking down there this morning I find that they still continue there. Wretched Spain, which has not one head to " order these things bet ter'" But of the errors and incapacity of these men it is now no time to speak. The actual forces in the city con sist of 11,000 national militia, about 1,000 cavalry, and 40 pieces of artillery. In a moment of confusion of this kind it is difficult to speak with certainty of the disposition of these forces and the population to defend themselves. I am inclined to augur favourably from observation. The Spaniards fight best after seeing some blood shed ; and it is expected by most persons, that a valiant defence, in the event of a general attack, will be made. If so, then all that is occurring, however destructive for the moment of the peace of society, is for the better. It will have the effect of bringing things to a crisis ; and forcing the wretched parties of Spain into a closer union. In speaking with several military men conversant with Spanish warfare in all its details, I find it to be the opinion of many of them that it cannot be the intention of Don Carlos to venture an assault on Madrid. It is their belief that the factious before tlse city belong to Cabrera and other chiefs, and are intended to draw Espartero back to the city, in order to permit the main body of the rebel forces to fall back o❑ Oraa, or to pass into Murcia and Andalusia. This theory is at least probable ; for it is difficult to believe that the Pretender would venture on Madrid, with its external and internal means of defence." It was conjectured that the entire of the forces which appeared on the 12th before Madrid, amounted to about 3,000 men. They were commanded by CA BRERA and FORCADELL. ESPA RTILRO, it was sup posed, would not at present enter Madrid, which did not require his assistance for its defence ; but would keep on the flank of the enemy, along the Tagus, as circumstances might dictate. Such was the prevalent opinion throughout the city on the 12th ; but it seems that at half past ten on the morning of the 13th, he rode into Madrid, proceeded to the residence of the Minister of War, and accompanied by him, waited on the QUEEN, by whom he was most graciously received Letters from Bayonne, of the 17th inst., state that the remains of the British Legion have finally resolved on returning to England, and never again serving in the cause of the Christinos. As many as 13 British officers were killed in the affair of Andoain on the 14th inst. Forty Spanish officers also were killed. The Paris Journals of Thursday contain no news of importance. The marriage of Princess MARIE with Prince ALEXANDER of WURTEMBERG was fixed for the 4th of October. The ceremony was to take place privately at the chateau of Trianon. A let ter from Constantinople, dated August 30, says : A great interest has been excited here during the last few days by the arrival of the Austrian Government war steamer Marianne, on her way to Odessa to bring down the Archduke ; a question immediately arising as to whether as a ship-of-war this vessel could, by the terms of the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, be permitted to pass into the Black Sea. The Pluto British war steamer, which .took Lord Durham to Odessa, was, as will be well recollected, obliged to have her guns taken out, and a yacht flag hoisted, in consequence of the existence of this treaty. Subsequently to this, permission for the Volage frigate to pass into the Black Sea was refused to the Eng lish Ambassador ; and the firman which, after long en treaty, was at length obtained by the French Ambassador for the Messange frigate was, on the immediate expostula tion of Russia, again withdrawn. It will now remain to be seen what line of conduct will be pursued by the Turks, and how far they will be influenced by Russia on this occasion. If the terms of the treaty be strictly adhered to permis sion can in no wise be granted for the Austrian steamer to pass, more particularly as her having saluted, when she en tered the harbour, too plainly declares her to be a ship of war ; but if, on the other hand, any subterfuge be made, and a Erman be granted for her, the precedent being once established, the English and French ambassadors will im mediately have a right to demand the same privilege. Rus ' sia will doubtless do everything - in her poWer to gratify Austria, but it can hardly be supposed she will be enabled to induce the Turks to offer so great an insult to England and France. Another day or two, however, will decide the question, and we shall then see what the ambassadors of these Powers will have to say on the subject." The 2Jonileur of this morning does not contain any new telegraphic despatch from Spain. Neither the Bordeaux nor the Madrid Journals had ar rived at the moment when we went to press. A Morning Journal says that an extraordinary courier from Spain arrived at Paris at half-past two o'clock this morning. A letter from the frontiers of Russia, dated Sept. 5, has the following passa g es Several forei g n J ourna l s h ave taken much pains to misrepresent the objects of the in tended reviews at Wosnesenk. According to these Journals, the motive must be sought either in some political interests, or is the personal inclination of the Emperor. These pre judices are not entertained in Russia, where the announce ment of these reviews has not even excited any great sen sation, fur they are accustomed to movements of troops on this extensive scale. Every year the Imperial Guards as semble in the environs of St. Petersburgh, to execute mili tary e volutions, in numbers nearly equal to that of the troops encamped at Wosnesenk. It is true that these con sist almost entirely of cavalry, and that it would be difficult to find, in any part of the world, so great a body of troops of that description ; but Wosnesenk is the centre of the military colonies of the country. Besides, what is there extraordinary if the Sovereign of a great empire, who commands an army of 800,000 men, unites several corps at one spot, to inspect them and direct their manceuvrin , This is the fact which is sought to be explained, on grounds which are wholly foreign to it.—Le Commerce, Sept.2l. There was a report to-day on Change of a project, which the Minister of Finance is said to have under serious con sideration, to reduce the Five per Cent. Stock ; the plan is said to be to change this Stock into Three per Cents, at 75, as in the plan of M. Villele ; the annual profits of the operation, estimated at eighteen millions, to be applied for five years to the execution of the iron railroad from Paris to the frontiers of Belgium.—Messager.

(THIS DAT.) The only Foreign mail in town this morning is French. All of its commercial contents that are of interest appear below. The imports at the port of London are marked by an ab sence of any East or West India produce of moment just now. Fruit from the south of Europe is now beginning to come in, but a private letter from Malaga which we have seen states that the crop of Raisins there will be late and short. In other places the crop of Raisins is reported to be very good. Irish, Dutch, and Northern produce are just now our principal arrivals. Several vessels from the East and West Indies are now in the Downs, and will soon be up, the wind being so directly fair for them. In our mercantile markets the transactions during the week have been to a fair extent, and of a bona fide character, prin cipally. There was more speculation yesterday evening in Pepper than there has been on any preceding day of this week. Prices of goods are for the most part much the same as they were this day week, except for Cas sia Lignea, which is higher; and for Rice and Cocoa, which have decrned a little. Pepper has secured an ad vance, and is still looking up. Good half heavy Malabar has sold at 4A , cl. to 44c1. The generality of the prices of merchandize are uniform with those of this day week, and ♦ery firm. The only matter to be noted to-day in the Sugar Market is that Refined Lumps and Loaves are in better demand for ship ping, and that there is more inquiry for Foreign Sugar. Mace and Nutmegs are at rather too high prices for specu lation. In Pimento there is an increasing disposition to spe culate ; the price is comparatively low. COTTON.—The accounts from Liverpool are good for the seller. The market in London is very firm, and a steady business doing. I■ the metal market there is still a good de mand for East India tin. FRUIT.-At present there is nothing doing except in Cur. rants; but business, in other descriptions of Foreign fruit, it now about commencing. TALLOW.—The Market is dull. Town Tallow, 455. 6d. P. Y. C. is 395. 6d., and Hors.—The duty to-day is the same as yesterday—viz. 190,0001. to 193,000/. AsuEs.—Canadiln Pots, first quality, are 295., and Pearls of the first quality 33e., which prices are 3s. to 4s. higher than they were this day se'nnight. Already there is a vary fair amount of mercantile business advertised for next week, amongst which there is a consider able amount of Colonial produce. FOREIGN COMMERCIAL. We have to-day accounts from Para in Brazil, which de scribe the crop of Cocoa to be very insignificant. The stock on the spot is reported very short, and what is brought from the interior is bought up at high prices; several vessels una ble to complete their cargoes had left half loaded. European goods and manufactures were in abundance, and their sale very languid ; the same is said of Flour and other provisions ; the stock of Flour, however, consisting chiefly of seconds and damaged, causes the finer descriptions to be in better request, and comparatively fetching high prices. The accounts from the French Corn Markets, received by to-day's mail, state generally higher prices for Grain ; and Wheat has during this week, in all places of importance for this trade, obtained an advance ; at Paris the sales of Flour have been very extensive, and the sales for some weeks having continually exceeded the supplies, the stock is decreasing, and consisted on the nth of September of 20,336 sacks, being a diminution of 2,000 sacks since last market day. The accounts received yesterday afternoon from Hamburgh report the market for Wheat firm ; much business was not doing for export, but a fair one for consumption. The quotations were, ending with red Danish at 65 rix dollars current per last, and reached as the top one 95 dollars for white Silesian, being equal to 21s. 3d. to 30s. lod. per quarter. The demand for Wool was rather languid, and buyers declined to pay the present rates. Butter for export was in great request, and last week's prices were fully sup ported. Coffee is firm, Sugar in rather more demand. Whale Oil held for higher prices. Spelter, in consequence of the less animating accounts from this market very dull, and the quotations giving way. The reports from Havre are the same as yesterday -for Cotton and Coffee. Tallow is in good demand, and prises advancing. Log wood is sought for, and some sales of Cam peachy have taken place at I If. per 50 kilogr., duty paid, being equal to 8/. ss. per ton, in bond. A small parcel Spanish Lead has been disposed of at rather stiffer rates. winners (Matches and Handicaps excepted), qualifications as in first race. Heats two miles. Mr. W. Jol ch. m.

Intelligence from Waterford, just received, states, that between that city and the coast of Wexford, a large brig, name unknown, was destroyed in the gale. She was last seen, deserted, on Blackwater Bank, partly wrecked, with signals of distress flying, but there were none of the crew visible. She has since entirely disappeared. We understand that Mr. Sheridan Knowles's new comedy forthcoming at the Haymarket, which has been so long announced, has only been written within the last six or seven weeks—the first two acts having been delivered to Mr. Webster in the latter end of August, and the two last only so lately as the 14th instant, when it was read. Re port speaks highly in its favour. A dreadful accident occurred at Frome on Tuesday last, to a young man, a servant of A. Whitaker, Esq., who, in endeavouring to jum) over some iron fencing on his master's premises, became transfixed on the top thereof, three of the spikes basing entered the abdomen and in flicted severe wounds. It was some time before the poor fellow could be removed ; he has since received the best surgical assistance, and some hopes are entertaim d of his recovery.—Sherborne Journal.

Disallowed Tory objections 2O Allowed 4 Disallowed 16 Of claims which were disputed there were 13, of which were admitted on the Liberal side 2 Tory side 5 Disallowed 3 Already on the list 2 Stand over (Before Mr. CRAIG.) The Court commenced the revision of the lists for St. Botolph Aldersgate. The first claim was that of Mr. Charles Bull, of 10, Hare-court. The Overseer produced the rate-books, in which the claimant was rated as Joseph Bull. Mr. Rower said it seemed to be a cock and a bull story altogether, as the name of Joseph Bull was already on tbei list. The claimant wa s c l ear ly no t on th e rate-book , an a therefore his claim was not good. Claim disallowed. The next claimant was William Calf—(A laugh)---als° of Hare-court. Mr. Rowcroft—l oppose this son of the old 801 l w ho has just been dispatched. The Overseer proved that the name of the claimant vas on the rate books--that lie had paid the January and the April rates, but the present overseers had excused him from the payment of former rates. They were made in 1836 , but he was excused the payment about June, 1837. Mr. Tijon, the Liberal agent, contended that his °P por.ent had no right to ask any question respecting 0 . 11 1 other rate than those which the Act of Parliament InaV e it necessary to have paid, which were from the 31st 1836, to the 31st of July, 1837, all of which had been pal °. Mr. CRAIG said the point had never been made before, and he considered it one of so much importance that b e would consult his Learned Colleague on it, and retired for that purpose. On his return he said his Learned Friend had not bad the point made before him ; if both sides would a gree b e would take the evidence de bene esse, and maturely con sider the point, which being agreed to the case stands over. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY•) OLD CO UR T. Shortly after ten o'clock, the Judges, Mr. Justice VAUGHAN and Mr. Justice PATTESON, entered the Court, and took their seats on the Bench.- John Coates, an elderly man, the mate of the brig Oriog, lying in the Thames, was indicted capitally for an offenc e on board that vessel, on the 20th of the present month. The trial of the case occu pi e d t h e C ourt the who l e morning, but the facts were of so revolting and disgusting a nature as to render them totally unfit for publication . The prisoner, in his defence, said he, had been driokia gin and ale, and was not in his right senses at the time. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN summed up, and The Jury, after retiring for half an hour, returned a yd diet of Not Guilty. The prisoner was, however, ordered to be detained for the misdemeanour. NEW COURT.
