LOWER CANADA NTF‘i-ps. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It is the interest of the Mother Country, as well as of the Colonies, that colonists should live contentedly, and d es i re to cont i nue t h e i r connect i on w ith Great Bri tain as beneficial ; but, to insure that, a wise and libe ral policy must be followed by the Governors, as re presentatives of the Queen in such Colony. It is essential to produce to the satisfaction of the colonists that the Governors should respect the rights of the Colonies as established by treaty or Constitution ; and it is the duty of the IVlinisters of the Crown to take care that justice is administered in all cases in the Co lonies. NV'e stated a few days ago the extraordinary excitement which has taken place in Lower Canada, 111 conseque nce o f th e re solutions of the House of Commons last Session, refusing to the Canadians a representative Council, which they petitioned for, and taking from the House of Assembly the ap propriation of the revenues collected in the pro vince, as the Constitution of 1791 secured to them . Numerous meetings of the Canadians, in counties and towns had taken place, and resolutions passed condem natory of the resolutions of Lord J.Russell, and of the majority of the House of Commons which had sup ported these resolutions. We gave copies, on Satur day last, of some of these resolutions, as indicating the feelings of the people at those meetings, and as well deserving of the serious consideration of the Re presentatives to the new Parliament. Although the G overnment of Lord Dalhousie and Lord Aylmer had been strongly condemned, and the Governors removed 1,11 consequence, yet the overnment of Lord Gosford has been, at these meeting G s, declared to be worse than any preceding Administration, and his acts more tyrannical and unconstitutional. As the loud complaints against the system of op pression so long and so grievously inflicted on the People of Ireland, under the Orange domination, and So fruitful of discontent and misrule, were attempted to be silenced by gagging bills, by proclamations, and every means that arbitrary and capricious power Co uld devise—but all in vain t--so, in Canada, every act of oppression, more unconstitutional and un just than the preceding acts, proved unsuccessful In Putting down the dissatisfaction which existed, or in sti fling the complaints or preventing the just demands of th e p eop l e . I nstea d o f yielding those just demands of the People of Canada, intimated by three several Houses of Assembly, and by eight-tenths of the represen tatives of the people, the Reforming Ministers have Passed coerc iv e resolutions by large majorities of the C ommons, and by the House of Lords with o nl y one di ssentient voice—that of Lord Brougham ; they have sent within the last month the 83d Regiment and two 81 °48 of war to Quebec, further to threaten the Ca nadians, and, it is to be feared, to re-act the same tra gedy as was performed at Boston in 1774 ; and yet the People of England, who are taxed to support that mili tary and naval force, remain ignorant of, or indifferent t e ° , what is going on under the sanction of our Reform Minist ers . It might have been expected that Lord t;osford, who had so often witnessed the unjust pro clamations of the Orange Tory Administration in Ire and against the people for meeting and complaining of their grievances, would have recollected that all 311 6 proceedings only tended more and more to irritate t he People, and to increase their discontent. But we have In the conduct of his Lordship one of those melancholy e lamples of men in power, acting in utter fcrgetfulness °f the lessons taught them by experience. The language used by the speakers at the public meeting s in Lower "triada was too strongly, though justly, condemnatory of the acts of his Lordship's Government, and of the c onduct of the Colonial Minister and Gove rnment in England, to be agreeable to his Lordship and his hack advisers ; and they, following the example of the Irish G overnment in times past, issued a Proclamation a gainst these public meetings. The O'C onnell of L OWer Canada, Mr. Papineau, was not, however, to be Prevented by such means from meeting his countrymen ; and the following is the resolution the meeting of the , i ?unty of L'Acadie came to respecting Lo rd Gosford's t.:roclam a ti on —hurling, as O'Connell so often did , d efiance a t th e au thors of that insult, which they b ad a dded to the injustice they have so long inflic ted on at people : , Resolved-1. That it is an incontestable right o f British ‘ llf le efs to meet at all times that they may think proper, t . freely to pronounce their opinions u p on the state of he I t public affairs, and in general o n whatever may interest it em ; and whatever tends to p revent the free and inde- Pendent expression of that opinion, is an infraction of, and an outrage upon, the just rights of the people. Resolved-2. That it is with astonishment that we have seen the head of the Executive of this province issuing a proclamation, characterising as seditious and perverse, men who have defended the neglected rights of their oppressed country, and who have had the noble courage to raise their voices against the oppression and tyranny of the British Ministry against this colony. Not content with issuing Proclamation, with the 'view of preventing the free expression of public Opinion on the conduct of the Governor and of the 13ritish Government, Lord Gosford directed officers commanding the militia to read the Proclamation at the head of every regiment--thus using the military establishments to give publicity to the civil orders of th e Government—a very questionable course of pro ceeding, and which would not, we think, be allowed in Great Britain. And because Lieutenant-Colonel Itaiz ene , of the 3d battalion of the Militia of the 'County of the Two Mountains, refused to comply With that unconstitutional order of the Governor, the Governor, by a General Order, deprived him of his commission ; and thus, by threats and coercion , has been endeav o uring to stifle public opinion. The fol -1 ° wing proceedings of the Permanent Central Corn 72,zittee of Montreal will show the feeling and the sp irit that has been roused in that province by such con duct P ERMANENT AND CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COUNTY OF MONTREAL. , The C omm i t t ee h e ld their usual sleekly sittings yester - Slay, at the Nelson and Hotel. The room was crowded to overflowing. Mr. Monarque was called to the Chair. The Committee proceeded to take into consideration the ier of Militia dated Quebec, July 3 d , 1837, de p rivin g J. R aizene, Esq., of his Commission as Lieutenan t-Colonel of lli 3 d Battalion of Militia of the County of Two leioun ains, and the same having been read, it was Resolved—That the Governor of this Province, by at rnPting t o f orce th e officers of Militia to read a Proclania '''n issued with the view to prevent the free expression of 6 liv opi n i on o n the Coercion Resolutions of the British Par liament has been guilty of an act ren derin g his adminis tration more odious ; that. Colonel Raizene by his refusal to Ca use the said Proclamation to be read , has afforded an ad ditional p roo f o f his firmness and undoubted patriotis m ; thin his dismissal from his rank as Lieutenant Colonel ( I s Li v "hes him with an additional claim to the esteem of fellow -citizens, and in consequence, this Committee "der him him unanimously their thanks. t t , —That the Secretaries of this Committee tß ns esolved rnit to Colonel Raizene, a copy of the foregoing Re uslution. S orn , atr, e new members were added to the Committee. Ar evteements were also made to multiply the Sub-Com adiZus of Vigil ance through the country, and the Comm ittee adjo urned to Thursday next. VC b e ai, k , are all these extraordinary procee din g s to I °Wed to go on by a Reformed British Parliament? et, re 'the people of England quietly to sanction such e el " • • • ei t 3 injustice ; and allow the oppressed Canadians e e‘i her to be borne down by such arbitrary acts, or el ie s ld to resistance ? 'The Canadian people have, in t,ti most constitutional mode, through their represen ves Parliament assembled, represented year after dear h ay t O th e King and to Parliament the injustice they e - esej „ 8° long suffered, and they have been oblig ed to d ee4s as the British Government have refused to re 'neir Comp l a i nts , to at t em pt to enforce attention t e sto PP in g . e i all supplies until their prayers be attended yu ;her. - are many who think the stopping the tut it by the H ouse of Commons a strong meas ure ; °tiler resource th e on l y const it u tional means when every Justi ce fails ; and they are calle d u p on, in t o , ado 1 . 0 th e i r const i tuents, an d i n justice to England , 4 d res ,,P L , that, as th e on ly re maining means of ob tainin g is, 411( 1 oefor e they have resource to resis tance, which iii:Zinst ; 3 1 13 0 t to be, the last attempt by a people 1-'°werlecir Government. The House of Assembly exe,anada have for two years refused the sup ert,„ Ballet under certain conditions, which the Go loitig resioTt thought proper to accept ; and the fol eeteig, l utions, agreed to at the same county titreshad a Y be taken as a proof that the representa ee4i acted in perfect accordance with the wishes o ci s P e l it v '_ i °, ns of their constituents : eu, g 1 rhatw e approve highly of the conduct of the Nousf of As , ierobly in the two last Stssious : it has justly defended the rights of the people, threataoed with destruction, in whose name it made demands required by the great majority of the inhabitants of the country, par ticularly that of an Elective Council, which we will never abandon at any risk, and without the realization of which we foresee neither happiness nor tranquility for this colony. Resolved, 9—That in consequence of the treatment which we have lately received, both from his Majesty's Mi nisters and from the other authorities, we no longer expect justice from them, and that we firmly hope that the Re presentatives of this country will feel the insult which has been offered to them, and that they will never again peti tion or solicit a power never disposed to entertain favour ably the complaints of an oppressed people, who, not many years ago, shed their blood in defence of that same autho rity which to-day oppresses them, whose loyalty was never surpassed by any other people connected with the British Empire. It behoves her Majesty's 'Ministers to consider well the feeling expressed in the last resolution—" Never again to petition the British Government, which has rejected all their petitions." What must be the re sult ? Nothing remains but an appeal to force to com pel tl►e people of Canada, on the first favourable op portunity, to shake off the yoke of England, and to assert their independence, as their brethren in the United States did before them. We feel confident that her Majesty is not aware of the desperate state of affairs in Lower Canada, and we trust Lord Mel bourne will see the responsibility he is incurring by supporting such a system of oppression as these docu ments point out. The following extract from the latest Papers will show that the determination, with respect to the non-consumption of English articles, is gene rally acted upon : " LowER CANADA.—PubIic meetings continue to be held in the Lower Province. At all of them they resolve to use no more dutiable articles. They are taking ejfi'ctual measures to stop the supplies, and it will go hard with them if they do not soon be even with their oppressors. The upstart merchants of Quebec and Montreal, who affected to despise the Canadians, and openly sided with their ene mies, begin already to feel the loss of their trade. The number of vessels arrived this year to the 6th instant, is less by one hundred and sixty-two than to the 6th of June, 1836 _s time, we should think, to open our eyes to the state of Lower Canada. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. W. Farren took his benefit at this theatre last night. The play chosen on the occasion was the School for Scandal. The cast was very strong. Farren was Sir Peter Teazle and played with his usual excellence. Sir Oliver Surface was intrusted to Dewton, who did most ample justice to the part. Buckstone appeared as Sir Benjamin Backbite, and did what he had to do indifferently well ; it is not a part adapted to his peculiar humour. Mr. Charles Mathews may be said to have attempted Charles Surface ; it cannot be said he performed the part. The character is neither suited to him nor is he suited to the character. He ap peared in a continual fidget, and could not remain half a minute in one position or in one place. Many things are allowable on a benefit night which are allowable on no other night, and it is to be hoped this effort is one of them. Joseph Surface in the hands of Elton was as much too dull as Charles Surface was too volatile in the hands of the gentleman we have just named. Of the remainder of the male characters it will be suffieient to say nothing. Madame Vestris was the Lady Teazle. This is a part in which Madame never was and never will be successful ; it is one of the last characters in which she is seen to advan tage ; whatever she plays she plays with talent, but the ta lent which she possesses is not adapted to embody the Lady Teazle of Sheridan. Mrs. Waylett's " Kate Kearney" was one of the attractions of the bill. Everybody has heard this song, but everybody is glad to hear her sing it as often as possible. The farce of the Loan of a Lover suc ceeded the play. In the Nervous Man and the Man qf Nerve, which concluded the a musements of the evening, Farren and Power kept the house in a continual laugh. The theatre was perfectly crammed, not a seat or place to see or hear could be obtained by a crowd of anxious vi sitors, who for some hours most patiently paraded the lobbies and saloon. LYCEUM. An opera was produced last night under the title of the Exile of Genoa. The plot is neither tedious to narrate or read. Anselmo Lancia (Seguin) a Genoese nobleman, is exiled by the machinations of the Doge (S. Jones) and with his daughter, Florentine (Miss Rainforth) takes refuge in Corsica. Fernando (Fraser) son of the Doge, being captivated with Florentine, disguises himself as a fisher man, forms a friendship with Anselmo, who is pursuing the same humble avocation, and is (being unknown to the old gentleman, known to the young lady) betrothed to his daughter. All this is supposed to have happened before the curtain is drawn up, and indeed it is a great deal more than what happens afterwards. In the first act a party of Genoese come in search of Anselmo, who curses the Doge, and requires his future son-in-law to do the same ; but that young gentleman, confessing that the Doge is his own father, objects to the- ceremony as indecorous. An selmo is very angry, but the pious youth satisfies him by leading a band of fishermen in opposition to his father's troops, and a general scuffle ensues, ►n which poor Anselmo is wounded. In the second act a ship is coming to the island, bearing the Doge himself. It is wrecked, but the life of the old Doge is saved by the magnanimous Flo rentine, who goes out to sea in an open boat. When she brings him ashore, he runs a tolerable risk of being mur dered by her father, but she reconciles all parties, who de clare they are the best friends in the world, and sing a chorus as the curtain falls. We will not remark on this plot ; it carries its own critique with it. The dialogue is unfortunately written in blank verse, which, where there is no poetry in the language, conveys to the ear a most rumbling and unpleasant effect ; and when in the hands of one who is not thoroughly master of it (and who is?) gives rise to the most uncouth transpositions. The music was selected from various composers, and, though generally good, was not very striking, unless, indeed, we except the chorus of Weber, about which, some time since, there was a paper war, as being the origin of " nye le Roi." Miss Rainforth and Seguin sang very fairly throughout. A duet in the first act was particularly good. Frazer was about the same as usual. The first scene did great credit to the management ; it was somewhat elaborate and highly pic turesque. As an act of justice to the author, as well as to the nation, we should remark that the libretto is translated from the German, and hence its faults have a transmariwe source. If we are not mistaken, this opera was produced some time ago at the Surrey Theatre. The French army consists, at the present momen of 67 regiments of infantry of the line, 21 of light in fantry, two of carabineers (cavalry), 10 of curassiers, 12 of dragoons, 11 of chasseurs, eight of lancers, six of hussars, and 14 of artillery. Of these 151 regiments, 12 are quar tered in Paris, and 23 in the different towns within 20 leagues of the capital ; Lyons is guarded by seven re giments, and Strasburg by three ; eight regiments are kept under arms in front of the Pyrenees, nine are in Africa, and half a regiment is in Italy. A greater number of partridges have been observed in the neighbourhood of Ramsgate this season than on any former occasion, and capital sport is anticipated. A flock of sea-gulls made their appearance on the Thames below Caversharn-bridge on Wednesday morning, and one of them was shot : it is rather unusual for these birds to be so far inland at this time of the year, and de notes stormy and cold weather on the coast.—OxPrd Gazette. A reward of 1001. has been offered to any individual who will give information respecting the person who struck the unfortunate Mr. Carter on the day of the West Riding nomination at Wakefield.—Doncaster Gazette. The American frigate Independence arrived at Co penhagen on the 26th ult., on her return from St. Peters burgh. In the Bavarian budget just laid before the Chain burs the appanage of King Otho of Greece, as a Bavarian Prince, appears as an item of 80,000 florins. Letters from Trieste to the 19th ult. say that the q uarantine for vessels from Naples had been reduced to fourteen days. In Trieste itself there had been seven or eight cases resembling cholera, which were mentioned in the bills of health. A County Reform Association was established, at a meeting held at Trentham Inn last week. The Earl of Shrewsbury, Sir C. Wolsaley, Bart., Sir T. C. Sheppard, Bart., George Toilet, Esq., M. A. Whyte, Esq., and other leading Reformers of North Staffordshire, were preset. On Saturday the neighbourhood of the Commercial road was thrown into a state of great alarm by a dog of the terrier species, which ran about snapping at every thing that came in its way. A boy, about seven years of age, who was playing in a field near to Vinegar-lane, was severely bitten in the leg by the little furious animal, which exhibited all the appearance of being in a rabid state. The poor child was taken to Mr. Brand's, a surgeon in the Commer cial-road, where the wound was cauterized : meantime the dog made dreadful havoc amongst the pigs, ducks, and geese, which fatten in the purlieus of Vinegar-lane, and several of these creatures were bitten, but immediately de stroyed by their owners. At length the cause of all the mischief, the worthless cur, met his fate from the hands of police-serjeant Daly, No. 23 R, who with that masterly use of the truncheon, for which his corps are famous, n.flicted a blow on the skull of the cur, which deprived him of existence. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1837. MAGA.ZINES, THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The first of the promised series of articles on Turk ish and Persian poetry is most welcome. No subject could be selected likely to gratify a greater number of readers. But the regular continuance of articles com menced in the " Dublin University Magazine," is what we cannot calculate upon for any three months conse cutively. We are confident that this want of regula rity greatly restricts its circulation in England and Scotland. " Ellen Montgomery" is a simple, affect ing, fire-side story, which addresses itself to the feel ings and sympathies of the young and innocent. The reviews of the " Literary Remains of Coleridge," and " Lockhart's Life of Scott," are creditable to the judg ment and candour of their respective writers—if indeed they be not the production of the same pen. The " Provisional Character of Daniel O'Connell, Esq.," is a tissue of impudent misrepresentation, which cannot in the slightest degree affect the deserved political in fluence of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. The other articles are either reviews of works long since noticed in The Sun, or political diatribes on the subject of the late general election. ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE. There are two excellent articles in " Alexander's India and Colonial Magazine" for this month—" The Transportation System," and the " Felonry of New South Wales." Both subjects are important, and both are very sensibly and ably discussed. An article on " Steam Navigation to India" is likewise deserving of attention. MONTHLY MA GA ZINE. There is an entertaining article in this Number, headed " Tableaus from Sporting Life," which lets us into many of the most hidden mysteries of the Turf and the Gambling-house. The description of a night at Crockford's, in particular, and of the presiding genius of that immaculate establishment, is evidently the production of one well acquainted with all that he has undertaken to describe. The article is written with point and spirit, and the occasional reflections in which the writer indulges arc creditable to his sense of justice. The review of " Dr. Shepherd's Life of Bracciolini" is from the pen of Mr. Barker—one of t he most classical scholars of the day. It is replete with curious knowledge, drawn from the most recon dite sources. " English Literature in France" gives a minute statistical account of the number and success of the recent republications of English works in Paris. Bulwer and Captain Marryat are just now, it seems, the two most popular names in literary France. " Song of Seville" is a graceful little poem, from the pen of Mr. F. Bayley ; and " Napoleon the Second" a spirited translation from the French of Victor Hugo. WTND D 4.1. Y. Viscount Palmerston and Sir Robert and Lady Gar diner are expected to join the royal dinner party this evening. At four o'clock this afternoon the Queen and her illus trious guests left the Castle on horseback, and attended by a numerous suite, proceeded from the grand entrance by the long walk into the great park, where the royal party rode for upwards of two hours. The Duke of Argyll did not join the royal party, but took an airing through Eton and Slough in a pony-phaeton and pair. Their Majesties of Belgium are expected to leave on Friday or Saturday next. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL Contains this month a series of sketches entitled " Journal of a Tour in the Himalaya Mountains,' which the lovers of voyages and travels—and their name is Legion—will find very attractive reading. The remainder of the Papers call for no particular comment. They are for the most part devoted to oriental matters. Some English speculators at Constantinople have been proposing to construct railroads in Turkey. A respectable looking man, named Denison, who had been committed to Hereford gaol on suspicion of theft, was brought up on Tuesday, and again remanded, when he asked the Mayor as a favour to be permitted to break stones, or to be employed in any other way, as he found idleness so very insupportable that any labour would be a relief. The request was immediately complied with. Hereford Journal. The late Sir Coutts Trotter, Bart., has left three daughters—namely, the lady of Colonel James Lindsay, late of the Grenadier Guards, son of the Hon. Robert Lindsay, younger son of James, fifth Earl of Balcarras, and has issue, Coutts, to whom the Baronetcy is limited in re mainder, and he is, therefore, now Sir Coutts Lindsay. Susan, married to the Hon. Major Keppell, second son of the Earl of Albemarle, and Miss Margaret Trotter, who was said to have been recently under a matrimonial en gagement to the Viscount Rochefoucauld, a distinguished French nobleman, but the match was broken off. Lady Trotter is related to the Earl of Aberdeen, being a daughter of the Hon. Alexander Gordou. Sir Coutts has died very wea lthy. His three daughters are co-heiresses to his large fortune. The late Baronet, though bearing the name of Coutts, was only very distantly related to the first husband of the late Duchess of St. Alban's. He was one of the coronation batch of Baronets in September, 1821. Count Lewaszew arrived at Travemunde on the 26th ult., with the steam-boat from St. Petersburgh, an d proceeded on a mission to Hanover, to compliment his MO - King Ernest on his accession in the name of his Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia. We learn that the Dutch Government has it se riously in contemplation, to render the river, the Old Yssel, navigable for ships, and that the authorities interested will meet, under the direction of the Members of the States of Guilderland, to come to a resolution on the sub ject. The realising of this plan is considered to be neces sary for the welfare of a population of 30,000 souls ; and there is reason, too, for congratulation that the Govern ment now extends its special care to a district which has remained much behind-hand, in consequence of the almost impracticable chances of co mmunication. On account of the backward condition of some of the harvest lands, some of the sportsmen have come to a resolution not to commence sporting until a fornight after the legitimate day.—Suffolk Chronicle. Joseph Bonaparte, ex-King of Spain, and now known by the name of Count de Survilliers, has taken Brettenham Park, in the neighbourhood of Lavvsliall, for a permament residence. The arrangements of the house hold arc on a most princely scale. The Count de Survilliers has once or twice visited the town within the last fortnight. —Suffolk C'hro icle. Three individuals at this moment have almost mono polised the bookselling trade in Germany. The most powerful of these is Baron Cotta, the proprietor of the Allgenzeine Zeitung. Baron Cotta is likewise the pro prietor of six literary periodicals of a high standing, and of several others of an inferior rank, and is said to have from 300 to 400 editors in his pay. He is proprietor of the copyright of all the works of Goethe, Schiller, Herder, and Uhland. The second of these literary grandees is Reimer, of Berlin, who owns the copyright of all the works of Jean Paul, Tiek, Kleist, Johannes Von Muller, Novelis, and Schlegel. The third is Brockhause, of Leipsic, proprietor of the Conversations Lexicon, which alone occupies more than 100 literary men. Brokhause is likewise the publisher of a most colossal encyclopedia, which, when finished, will consist of at least 200 volumes, and he is now on the point of undertaking the public ation of a new daily paper. In Covent Garden market on Saturday, apples and pears were, if possible, more plentiful than during the pre vious week. Excellent apples sold at from Is. to Is. Gd. per bushel ; pears at about Gd. additional. There were a great many plums sold at '2d. and 3d. per pint ; green gages about the same price. There were a few cherries at Gd. per lb., and raspberries at 9d. and Is. per pottle ; goose berries and currants nearly as plentiful as they were some weeks since. A very small quantity of green peas was to be seen shelled—they sold at 10d. per quart ; French beans were very plentiful.

The son is charged with hitting the blow which caused Moore's death, and the father with aiding and encouraging him. — Shrewsbury Chronicle. Lord Stanley has been visiting Sir James Graham, at Netherby, and is now in Scotland. His scowl relaxed, the other day, at the Falls of the Clyde. There is a story about Mr. Hodgson giving up his seat for Berwick, to mike room for Sir James Graham. Another story is, that this act of self-devotion to the interests of the Tory party is to be performed by Mr. Peyton, of Woodstock. Some thing was said about Ludlow, but the Earl of Powis is 710 t dying.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. COURT CIRCULAR. A Deputation of the South Australian Commissioners, including Colonel Torrens, Mr. Lefevre, Mr. Mills, and Mr. Pennington, accompanied by the Secretary, Mr. Row land Hill, transacted business yesterday at the Colonial office.

Business was uncommonly dull until between five and six o'clock, when the arrival of two or three " influentials" gave a little animation to it. Neither Cardinal Puff, Mango, The Doctor, nor Emprise vary from the prices quoted last week ; but Henriade has advanced two or three points. We did not see a single bet against him outright, although two or three parties offered to take Bto 1. Slashing Harry was backed in the same show of spirit at 11 to 1, and some small sums were laid out on The Prime Warden and Blakey Topping at the odds set against their names.

On Friday last, while the Queen and her royal and distinguished visiters and suite were riding in the Great Park, a thunder storm came on, and the horse which her Majesty the Queen of Belgium was riding became unma nageable, and suddenly started off. Two of the gentlemen of the suite, however, very promptly took a circuit, and by judicious tact succeeded in stopping the career of the horse, and thus fortunately prevented any injury to her Majesty beyond the fright which she experienced.-IVindsor Express.

DEPTFORD REGATTA.—Yesterday the scullers' contest for a boat, given by Mr. Attwood and the other gentlemen of the steam Navigation Company, was admirably arranged, and attended by persons of the first respectability. Every facility was given to view the match, the Company having moored five or six steamers off the town for the accommodation of the public. The competitors, by their exertions, evidently felt that they were rowing in the presence of the most respectable persons in the environs. They rowed hard and well the en tire distance, which is not insignificant. The match was rowed in five heats with six pairs of sculls. For the grand heat they came in thus Ezekiel Gilbert George Ogden The loser had the lead, but lost it after about forty strokes. The spectators expressed themselves highly satisfied with the accommodation and attention they received by order of the Company. There was a. brilliant display of fireworks. STAIRS WAGER ♦T WAPPING.—The annual Stairs wager for a purse of 25 sovereigns, amongst the watermen of Wap ping, came off yesterday, with twelve pairs of sculls in three heats.

Little and Lear Aladin Thomas Goring and John Conan Light Blue. half an hour, in a field belonging to Mr. Stevens, at Nun head, in the parish of St. Paul's, Deptford. The Royal Nassau and its more diminutive companion em braced terra firma near the same place—the three within three-quarters of a mile. IRELAND.—The Dublin Correspondent of a Con servative Contemporary states—with what degree of truth or falsehood we cannot determine—that Mr. O'Connell is at present employed in the production of an answer to the several charges brought against him by Mr. S. Crawford. The following exquisite niorceau of moonshine, from a source equally pure, the Limerick Standard, is found in company with Mr. O'Connell's reported intention of reply ing to Mr. Crawford's objurgatory series. It is modestly , headed thus :—" Most important ! Dublin Election.' and then proceeds—" We have this moment been confi dently put into possession of the following piece of intelli gence by a gentleman possessing the best possible opportu nity of ascertaining it ; and, from other sources of informa tion to which we have had access within the last few days, we have no hesitation in giving it the fullest credence— ' That it is not the intention of Mr. O'Connell to defend the petition against his return for the City of Dublin !' " THE HARVEST.—The harvest is proceeding with an extraordinary degree of rapidity in this neighbourhood, particularly towards the south and .south-east. The crop of wheat is remarkably fine ; and that of barley, although varying according to the nature and situation of the sod, promises abundance. With proper exertions the whole is likely to be secured in excellent condition. In the course of a very short time, if the weather continues favourable, an immense breadth of land will be completely cleared, and the labours of the year crowned with an abundant produce. The turnip crop is excellent ; and that of potatoes will be remarkably productive.—Doncaster Gazette. Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, as a respectable tradesman, named William Marchand, was proceeding across Smithfield, he was surrounded and hustled by a gang of thieves, two of whom seized him by the arms, while a third turned his trousers pockets inside out, taking their contents, which fortunately happened to be only silver to a small amount. Mr. Marchand, on getting his arms free, endeavoured to seize hold of one of the scoundrels, but he received a tremendous blow on the back of the head from one of the gang, which felled him to the ground, where he lay completely stunned. On being raised up his right thigh was found to be fractured in a very severe manner. He was immediately removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he at present re mains. The thieves all succeeded in getting clear:off. Mr • Marchand is about 65 years of age. NINE LIVES LOST.—On Friday a severe storm of wind and rain was experienced in Inverness.' The rain fell in torrents during the whole of the day, and the at mosphere was loaded with a thick heavy fog. Early on Saturday the wind blew a perfect hurricane from the N.N.E., which, besides throwing down trees, injuring crops, and occasioning several accidents, has in the county of Moray been accompanied with a lamentable loss of life. About five o'clock A.M., a herring-boat, the Georgina, be longing to Lossiemouth, attempted to make the shore in that place ; the sea was rolling dreadfully, and the gale was so tempestuous that the boat could not carry canvass, and all attempts at managing it were fruitless. The boat ac cordingly foundered among the breakers. Six persons were on board, and of these only two were saved. The names of the deceased were James Henry, aged 50, who has left a widow and five children ; John Stewart, 25 ; James Ed ward, 16 ; and Thomas Stewart, 16. One of the bodies has since been found in the sand at Burghead, and another has been cast ashore about two miles east of Nairn. About two hours after this time, at seven, a vessel, the Beatrice of Leith, was caught by the gale off Stotfield Point, and struck on a rock. The men took refuge in the rigging, but the mast broke and fell over the side, precipitating them into the sea. The master of the vessel, John Winchester, Ile(' his wife and child, the latter a fine girl, eight years of age, on board. He made every effort to rescue them from the awful fate which was impending over them, but in vain ; both perished, and when he was taken on shore himself he was in a state of utter insensibility. The unfortunate man was carritel to Lossiemouth, where he now lies dangerously ill. The master of the ship is the only survivor ; his wife and daughter, two men, and a lad have perished. None of the bodies have been found, except the corpse of the girl ; and it appears that she had placed her father's pocket book, containing some money, in her breast, before being committed to her watery grave.—lnverness Courier. A singular instance of severe justice has lately occurred in Sweden. John Ormaasen, a man holding a confidential situation in the silver mines at Konigsberg, has been condemned to three months' imprisonment for a theft committed many years ago. At the trial of one of the per sons employed at the mine, and who had been detected in the act of pilfering, Ormaasen was called as a witness. As soon as the latter appeared the prisoner exclaimed—" Am Ito be condemned on the testimony of a thief ?" These_ words led to an investigation, the result of which has been to show that many years ago, when the parties were bcsth boys, they bad been out fishing together, and Orma.asen attempted to appropriate to himself a fish which the otb er had caught. As Ormaasen enjoys a very high character he is not to be dismissed from his office, and a petition, to the King for a free pardon has been signed by al't the employes of the mines. Abraham Ettlinger, the son of a Hebrew merchant in Carlsruhe, is at present serving in the Turkish horse artillery. He originally went to Greece as a volunteer in the Greek army, but soon afterwards deserted to Larissa. His family lately made application in Constantinople, through the Austrian embassy, for his discharge. The answer of the Turkish Cabinet was to the effect, that the young artillerist in question appeared to have renounced the Mosaic faith, and to have embraced Islamism, and was so well satisfied with his present situation as to be in no way desirous of quitting the service. Master Abraham is said to have promised to pay a visit to his family as soon he has attained the rank of a Paella of three tails. A man of the name of Anderson had procured some poisonous mixture, strongly impregnated with whisky, to wash the feet of some cattle, and carelessly left the bottle partially concealed on the way-side. Two unfortunate men—named George Armstrong and Watson — discovered the bottle, and drank the contents. The sequel is already told—the oee died twenty-four hours afterwards, and the other about the middle el last week.—Dumfries Courier. When ballooning, about forty years ago, was in its infancy in this country, many individuals were anxious to distinguish themselves by an ascent, and, among ot'ners, a person of the name of Arnold, who belonged to the Navy, was one, and took with him a little fellow of the name of Appleby, who was a messenger at Drury-lane Theatre, but very consequential and full of self-importance. On the day of the ascent they took their seats in the car, but in crossing the Thames the balloon began to descend, amidst the jeers and hisses of the crowd. Arnold, much an- , 'toyed, threw all the ballast out of the car,itrid finding this would not do, he had recourse to another expedient, and actually flung his companion, poor little Appleby, into the Thames, who was, however, saved from being drowned. The balloon then rose, and passed over the houses, but in a short time fell to the ground to rise no more. The bare mention of the circumstance to Appleby used to make him almost frantic. Church land is always worth little when returns are asked of the amount of the ecclesiastical revenues ; but it recovers its value amazingly when any of it is wanted for public purposes. When any one inquires how much the clergy put into their pockets, the cry then about their com modity is, what it was three thousand years ago—" It is naught—it is naught I" We have now, however, obtained the means of judging of the real value of the lands of the collegiate 'oody ; for their own valuator, in an assessment of damages between them and the Leeds Railway Company, said that the 160 acres possessed by them in Newton are worth. 100,000/., and the jury awarded them at the rate of 5701. per acre, which is equal to 91,200/. for their land in that township alone ! They possess, we elieve, about 1,200 acres near Manchester, and supposing i b t to be worth one penny per yard per annum, their revenue from land alone, independent of tithes, would be 24,0001. a year ! We recommend an attentive perusal of the trial to Minis ters before they bring forward another Church-rate Bill.— Manchester Times. CONIMON T I IIEVES.—In cons e q uence of the in terest which the Lord Chancellor Camden took in behalf of Mr. Wilkes, he became so popular, that the parishioners of Chiselhurat, where he resided, in the zenith of their patriotism, made him a present of ten acres of the com mon, on which the avenue leading to the seat now stands. His Lordship was a very early riser, and was the first to discover, in one of his morning walks, that a poor widow who resided on the common had all her geese stolen the preceding night. Meeting a labourer going to work, and thinking, from being wrapped up in his great-coat, that he was unknown to the man, he inquired of him respecting the geese, and asked him if he knew what punishment would be inflicted on the offender who stole the geese from the common. The nein answered, " No." " Why, then, l'll tell you," said his Lordship ; " he would be transported for seven years." "If that is the case," replied the labourer, " I will thank your Lordship to tell me what punishnieut the law would inflict on the man who stole the couunon from the geese?" - The half-yerrly meeting of the Great Western he ß ail way Company was held at Bristol last wea tress between m Paddington adeis considerable.a nd Maidenhead I It is h th e a o t p t e t h e pine edin November;t iiles etfhehreinaedinfro., o m in Ch jipupneen;haamedtoih m,,hyfratb,liwoi,:ihning fourt nt in to the town of 'heading itself.

PEDESTRIANISM TOWNSEND AND SHARPE AGAINST DRINKWATER. - This match, for 1001. aside, came off yesterday at Lord's Grounds, Drinkwater undertaking to pick up 300 stones, and bring them severally to a basket, Townsend giving him 30 minutes start, and having in lieu the aid of a lad to pick up the first 100. Drinkwater had thus 51 miles and about a quarter to go, Townsend but 46. The parties had contended before single handed, when Townsend proved the victor, doing the distance in 8 hours and 19 minutes, Drinkwater breaking down with a mile and a half unaccomplished. The confidence in Townsend was such that his friends had bet 6 to 4, and in some cases, 2to 1 upon him. At a quarter past ten Drink water came on the ground, dressed in a white cotton jacket and drawers ' - he had his head and waist bound with yello w handkerchiefs, and looked in first-rate condition. Sharpe (Townsend's assistant) came to the starting post, and went off at a quarter to eleven ; he is crippled in both hands and looks emaciated; he ran awkwardly, but with considerable speed, and accomplished his task (the first 100, being five miles and about 100 yards) in 42i minutes. Townsend, who was dressed like his adversary, with the exception of a blue silk hunting belt, and white and blue cap, went off at an indifferent pace ; he became sick ere he had gone more than a few miles, but rallied, and improved his running. Drinkwater kept steadily at his work. At three o'clock Drinkwater had picked up 164 stones. Townsend (with Sharpe's I 00) l9O At four Drinkwater 209 Townsend At five Drinkwater 242 Townsend At 35 minutes past five Townsend, who had shown a good deal of distress, gave up; he had then 58 to do. Drinkwater, who had only 15 or 16 at short distances. ran merrily on, coming in (apparently fresh) at about a quarter to six, having accomplished his task in seven hours and a half. Those who bad money on Townsend of course talked of a cross ; but the man was evidently ill, whilst Drinkwater was in first-rate con dition. The company was not very numerous, though a good many sporting men were on the ground. INVASION AT MANGALORE.—The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of her Majesty's ship Winchester, dated Bombay, May 5, 1837 :—" The Admi ral fixed the 15th of April as the day of our sailing fer Colombo, when on the evening of the 11th an express was received of an invasion at Mangalore, and the hostile ap pearance of the Coorgs before the town to the number of 30,000 men, with a declaration from the authorities that they could hold out but a few days longer. A messenger was sent on shore by the Captain to state, that at the re quest of Sir John Kean, Commander-in-Chief, the Win chester would sail with part of her Majesty's 6th Regiment and a brigade of artillery at daylight next morning, therefore to prepare accordingly and be on board : and at 11 o'clock next day we sailed for Mangalore with 200 of the 6th Re giment, commanded by Major Crawford, and the Artillery, which were to be followed by the Hugh Lindsay steamer, with 200 more. Mangalore is about 400 miles to the southward of Bombay ; and our passage down we spoke the Atalanta steamer, from England, having touched at Cochin for coals. She informed us that the Coorgs were in great force at Mangalore, and a Major of the 2d, or Queen's, commanding 600 men, had been defeated by them. This news being taken on to Bombay, the Atalanta and Amherst (Company's sloop of war) sailed the following day, with the 23d Regiment, to reinforce us. We arrived at Mangalore in 49 hours from Bombay, having had a splendid passage ; and found the town still in possession of the English. The Coorgs had been twice repulsed, but they succeeded in burning the houses of the Collector, Judge Debirg, and many others, with all their property, and it was by the greatest miracle that the ladies escaped on board ship, and got down to Cannonore, where the 57th Regiment are yet quartered, and Wellman, Bate, and many of our old friends are there also. We landed the troops immediately. Cap tain Uniacke was ready with his detachment of Royal Ma rines also to share in the glory, if necessary. In a few days after the Atalanta and Amherst arrived, when vi e went to Cassagore, and landed the 33d Regiment there (a distance of 30 miles south of Mangalore). We returned to Manga lore in a few days, and found the enemy had disappeared everywhere, and, as we could be of no further assistance, we started immediately for Bombay, and arrived here yes erday." Yesterday Barnet Cattle Fair commenced with a very good show of Welch and Scotch beasts, and sonic o a superior kind from the low countries, the latter in good condition, and what is termed " half fat." The sur,ply of sheep was rather limited yesterday, but sold well, although the general business was rather dull, it being L on d on mar ket day. Every one, however, anticipates a. good termina tion. There was a tolerable show of horses of the useful breed, but comparatively few of those of a superior kind. The races between the Welch ponies, to be ridden without bridle or saddle, are to sake place on 'Wednesday. When Sir Samuel Romill ,y 'proposed to abolish the punishment of death for stealing a pocket handkerchief, the Commons of England consulted Sir John Sylvester, the Recorder, and Mr, Nemnan Kuowlys, the Common Sergeant, as to the proposed improvement. They an swered, " That such an alteration would endanger the whole criminal law." A writ has passed the Great Seal, discharging - the Archbishop, Bishops, and Clergy of the province of Canter bury from appearing in convocation at the Chapter House of the cathedral church of St. Paul, London, on the 12th instant, and commanding their appearance on the 3d day of October 'next. The. old and extensive spinning establishment of Me'Asrs. Lane, of Stockport, has stopped payment for a very Urge amount. One of the joint - sto ck-banks, it is said, had advanced them 30,000/. Difficulties connected with the American cotton trade are alleged as the cause. Yesterday evening three balloons could be again perceived to the southward. The Royal Nassau and Mr. Green's own, which ascended from Vauxhall, and Mrs. Graham's, from the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Owing to a deficiency in the supply of gas, the Royal Nassau only contained Mr. Green and four other gentlemen, two below the usual number. Mrs. Graham was accompanied by a monkey in a parachute of Garnerin's construction, which descended safely near the Wrdens, in the grounds of Mr. Sark, at Walworth, from the height of two hundred yards. Notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the weather, to gether with the divided attraction in the aerial science, both places of amusement were well attended. Mrs. Gra b ham descended, after a pleasant, 'voyage of little more than
