No other business being before the Court, it was then adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of Grain fresh up this week are small. The Wheat trade remains as last reported, with a slow sale. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, no variation. There is some business doing to-day in good Oats, at the terms of Monday. The Flour trade is not so brisk as of late. ARRIVALS. Wheat. English Irish Foreign Barley. Oats. I Flour. ark) qrs. I 1,650 qrs.' 2,050 sacks. 2,500 FISH-MARKET, BILLINGSGATE. There was scarcely any arrivals of fish at Billingsgate this morning, consequently the stock was very limited, and the prices varied but little from the quotations of yes. terday. Formerly at this time of the year a great quan tity of bad fish was vended in the market, but the prac tice is now wholly abolished by the vigilance of the su perintendant. EXETER MARKETS. The supply continues to be limited, and sale dull, with out any variation of prices—Bullocks averaging from 9s. to 9s. 6d. per score; and Sheep (of which the number penned was proportionately large) from sd. to*. per lb. Sellers standing out for higher prices than have of late been obtained, sales were with difficulty effected, and for inferior Sheep and Ewes sd. could scarcely be realised. The prices in our pannier market may generally be quoted as last week. In the Corn market, prime Ohl Wheat fetched 9s. to 9s. 3d. per bushel ; Now Bs. to Bs. 6d. ; Old Barley 3s. 9d. to 4s. 3d. ; New 3s. 3d. to 3s. 9d. ; Oats 3s. to 3s. 4d. ; Beans ss. 6d. to 7s. 6d. ; Pease is 6d to s. lIOP INTELLIGENCE. 111ArnyroxE.—We hear nothing on all sides but com plaints of the shortness of the crop. - In some places there are not half so many as.were expected, and very generally. the deficiency is full one-third. As a convincing proof of this, we may mention that in several grounds fresh pickers have been employed in order to get enough to fill the kilns, and some of the kilns have been entirely shut up. The poor.pickers complain sadly, and scarcely a day passes without some of the gangs striking for a reduction of the number of bushels to the shilling. The mould is very ex tensive, and the quality of the crop 4 consequently inferior. CRANBROOK MARKET, SEPT. 20.—There has been a fair quantity of samples of New Hops shown this day, the colour and quality pretty good ; some sales were readily effected at from 665. to 725. per cwt. LORD DARNLEY AND THE LATE KENT MEETING. The reasons which induced the Earl of Darnley to absent himself from the recent meeting of the Bruns wickers at Maidstone, are set forth in the following answer, written by his Lordship in reply to a letter informing him of the day and object of the intended meeting, the person who addressed his Lordship on the subject' being fearful that the noble Earl was unacquainted with either : " Sandgate, Sept. 15. • " Sir,—lt will not he in my power to attend the meeting at Maidstone to-morrow, and I doubt much whether any advantage would arise to the good cause by any attempt which could now be made in this county to counteract the project of establishing what they call a Brunswick Club, which I understand is the object of their meeting, and not to petition. . " It at any future time any exertions I can make to stem the torrent of illiberal feeling which prevails very generally among the Protestants in Kent, should appear likely to produce any effect, 1 shall be ready to come forward.

The third Grand Festival appears to be more productive of all that is essential to perfect enjoy ment in the art of music, as well as the no less de sirable result as to the pecuniary receipts. Nearly all the tickets are already disposed of, extensive as the accommodation is. The arrangement of the orchestras exhibit vast and striking improve ments, as compared with the two former Festivals. The band is not less numerous, but infinitely more select. At an early hour of this day there were twenty nine carriages actually unable to proceed from Tad caster, for want of horses to bring them forward. Catalani is in fine voice, and took exceeding pains at the rehearsals, that have kept the orchestra in al most uninterrupted employment from nine in the morning until eleven at night ! Braham, Stephens, Paton, Caradori, De Begnis, &c. seem also in high spirits; so that a feast of no common kind is con fidently anticipated. The First Ball, this evening, was numerously attended. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—III the absence of Mr. H. PHILLIPS, Mr. G. PENSON undertook last night the character of the Old Bachelor, in Mozatur's Opera of Tit for Tat, and went through it with such archness and spirit as to leave us little cause to regret the absence of Mr. Pumurs. Mr. KEAN is re-engaged at Covent-garden Theatre ; to have for the season, it is mentioned, 2,0001. ; to receive such amount by instalments of 401. a week; and to play two nights a week. The English Company are performing at Havre with brilliant success. Miss SMITHSON has ap. peared in the characters of Jane Shore, Juliet, and Bela dera, and the Havre Journals speak of her performance in each, and the impression she produced on the audience, in terms of the most enthusiastic praise. Mr. DOWTON has been performing at . the Tunbridge Wells Theatre here during the last week to fashionable audiences.—Maidstone Journal. PHILHARNIONIC SOCIETY.—The lovers of music had a fine treat last evening at the Meeting of the Philharmonic Society, held (weekly) at the Globe Tavern, Fleet -street. Mr. Manua, Organist of St. Bride's, pre sided a t the pianoforte. The glees (performed by amateurs) were given with a spirit and effect that would have done credit to professional men. From the numerous attendance (upwards of 100), a nd t h e ability d i splayed, t hi a 'S oc i ety gives fair promise of becoming the first of its class.

JACK NICIIOLLS, AND NED NEAL, FOR ONE HUNDRED POUNDS ASIDE. After the big noise made by the Patlanders about Ned Neal ,(or Ned Nale as they elegantly call him), and the extraordinary report of Reuben Marten and the Bristolians about Nicholls, it would almost be unnecessary to say much about them. Neal has fought 13 times and has never been beaten but once, and that was by White-headed Bob. Jack Nicholls, however, as far as practice goes, has much the inferiority of Ned. He has never fought any other in the London ring than Dick Acton, and in that affair he cer• .tainly showed nothing like good points except youth and nerve. Acton gave in from a fall, after fighting ten minutes, and some dissatisfaction succeeded the fight. In the present match considerable interest was created from the extraordinary preparations made by the nobs in the neighbourhood of Fisher's-gate, near the Portsmouth-road, and 43 miles from London. A great personage in that neighbourhood has taken the ring under his especial sanction, and made the most extraordinary regulations for the preservation of good order. In the Cylinder Mills the ring was prepared with the most praiseworthy scrupulosity. Nothing was wanted to excite the greatest interest and satisfac tion in the surrounding country. Cannons were prepared to salute the men when they arrived on the ground, and an excellent country band at tended with their inspiring strains. The accommo dation for the spectators was of first-rate descrip tion. A slumber of waggons were arranged uncom monly well. The nearest circle had been let into the ground three er four feet. The next circle two feet, and the third on the level ground. The place being enclosed by a wall, and tickets for admission sold at several of the neighbouring toll-gates, every thing was looked to by " the natives' with the greatest anxiety. A strong number of the London Fancy arrived on the preceding night. Neal had been training at Milford, but left there the night be- fore the fight. Nicholls arrived at Guildford, and there stopped. The betting was about 6or 7 to 4 on Neal, 6 to 4 being offered freely. In the morning the countrymen flocked to the scene of action with an avidity we believe never be fore witnessed, in fact the country seemed all in an uproar. Every road leading to the place was thronged with all sorts of vehicles. On Nicholls arriving with his party, he was saluted by the firing of a couple of cannon. Above 200 countrymen were provided with white staves and blue ribbons, for the purpose of preserving order, and enforcing the payment, for ad mission, of two shillings from each person. We must again allude to the preparations. Mr. Stovle, a gentleman, who will be remembered in this county for a decent immortality, had conducted them all at his own expence. He had given fifty pounds to the men for fighting on this spot. The most ample accommodation was provided for " man and horse," and another provision was made for cooling the ardour of a certain class of gentlemen, who shall be nameless. A wicker crate was slung by pulleys over a pond, and a platform erected, by which the crate could be lifted or sunk at pleasure. Booths and assembly rooms were seen in all direc tions. The ladies flocked, as they might have been expected to do, to the scene of amusement; and, altogether, it was a great triumph for the prize ring, and truly flattering to the attempts of the Fair Play Club to renovate it. Ned Neal left his training place last night, and slept at a friend's house, near the spot. He arrived shortly after Nicholls, and both seemed " quite charming." Before the men went in Mr. Stovle rode in pro cession round the ring, preceded by the band, and hailed by all present with the most enthusiastic cheers. He sported several banners and flags, on one of which was inscribed " The King," and on another " Independence. The countrymen, old and young, looked upon him as the reviver of their na tional and manly sports ; and Counsellor O'Connell was never more " the man of the people" than Mr. Stovle was at that moment, Nicholls and Ned both entered together. Ward and Reuben Marten for Nicholls, and Spring and Holt for Neal. Nicholls Won the toss for sides. THE FIC lIT. Round I.—Sparring for . forty minutes before a hit was attempted—Nicholls appeared the finest bust of a man that we ever saw. Ned after this almost interminable sparring led in and planted a hit on the chest, but it did not tell. Ned, however, threw him cleverly, this round lasted fifty minutes. 2.—Ned, after about 10 minutes more sparring, caught the other lightly, and Jack fell rather suspiciously. 2to 1 on Neal. 3.—Ned went in and floored the other by a clean knock down blow from the right. First blood from Jack's mouth. 4.—Nicholls and Reuben in a fret. Ned went in, and Jack jobbed him well once, but was /brown heavily. b.—Neal anxious to get in. Jack jobbing short at the head. Ned again went in and floored him on his mother earth, almost by the force of another hit from his right. 6.—Jack went in this time, and tried to hit, but was locked by Ned; who tried for the throw, but lost it. 7.—N e d went in, got two or three up hits, and was well thrown. 8.--Both men on their mettle. Ned put in his right, but was stopped prettily. He however got the throw. 9.—Jack was going in, but caught a tremendous blow from the right, and fell dean away. Io.—. Ned began—Jack smiled confidently, and if the one two which he aimed had told, he must have won it. As it was, Ned rallied him, and they fell apart. 11.—Nichols tried one two well again, but was out of distance with the first ; he then napped it as before, and was locked cleverly and thrown heavily by Ned. I2.—Ned showed some claret; after some sparring, how ever, he caught him with the right another clear floorer, which extended him nearly senseless. " That's the sort, I've taken inwardly," said Jem Burn, I recollect them." 13.—Jack began to fight, but it was too late: be was stupid, and, after staggering every where, he fell from exhaustion. 14...444 got it izt the body frost, the tight ; in the mouth from the left, and fell heavily.-5 to 1, and no takers. 15.—Neal again planted a body blow, and threw him cleverly. 16.—Nicholls had it from the left on the mouth, and fell dead beaten on the spot. 17.—Ned again went in, and hit the other terribly till the latter fell useless.—(" Take him away.") 18.—Neal hardly missed a hit, and Nicholls hardly made one ; both worked in this wiy till Nicholls fell senseless. The seconds gave in for him, and Ned, on being pro claimed conqueror, jumped over the ropes. The fight lasted an hour and 36 minutes. REMARKS. Neal has certainly added much to his fame by winning this match so cleverly against superior weight, length, and it was at first supposed superior science. The early part of the fight was the most tedious we have ever seen, and three good fights might have been settled in tile time it occupied. As soon, however, as Neal had planted one or two hits, he had it all his own way; he seemed to have moved the nerve of the other, and after once having accomplished that nothing could stop him. The two last rounds were nothing but hitting on the part of Neal, from the time he set foot to the scratch ; both hands were alternately flush against Nicholls' head, and he hardly escaped one hit. The Fair Play Club were assiduous to promote regulation, and were happily successful so far; but a second fight being to take place for a purse as well as small stakes, a collection was necessary. Now we come to tender ground. 1n furtherance .of this purse-gathering, Ned Stockman was the Judas to carry the bag. He went round and all about, and came to the scratch with nearly 1/. in silver. Tom Spring then set out to exert himself still more, and when he came in he plainly told Stockman that he must have pocketed at least six or seven pounds, from the report of the crowd, for which he had never accounted. (The Fair Play Club ought to look to this.) Tom Spring, notwithstanding all this, brought in 4/. making in all 51. for the men. SECOND FIGHT. BROWN, THE NORTHAMPTON BAKER, AND BLISSETT, THE MASON, FOR 10!. A-SIDE AND A PURSE. The purse was adjusted that the winning man should have 31., and the beaten man two. At twenty-seven minutes past three o'clock they were ready to fight. Brown was seconded by Stockman and Reid; Blissett by Ward and Martin. Blissett was by a stone the heaviest of the two, and by fur in best condition. Brown weighed about nine stone four pounds. The latter showed im mense game, and stood cutting up like a hero until nature was exhausted, and even then he was taken away not with his own consent. Blissett won the battle without much punishment, by seven minutes to four o'clock, making in all 26 minutes, in which space they fought 22 rounds. Poor Brown was sadly punished about the face.

The extracts which we gave yesterday from this very diverting and original publication, .must have delighted our readers by their point, bril liancy, and• characteristic comprehensivenes s . Plain prose, it is clear, is unworthy of thein. We have, therefore, after the fashion of Waicot's " Bozzi and Piozzi," garnished them with the seductive blandishments of poesy, intending there by to do more elaborate justice to their excel lence. Our version, we may add, is nearly, if not quite, literal ; and, as from a lofty principle of justice, we have studiously ascribed its author's name to each biographical anecdote, we trust, in a few days, to receive a flattering epistle from every individual contributor to " Parriana," thanking us in the politest and most honied terms for our attention to their intellectual merits. REV. MR. STEWART. The day before I fixed on going down To Warwickshire, from Lincoln's-Inn in town, I dined with an old friend, of much discerning, Who called great Parr (oh heavens !) a lump of learning.—P. 4.3. One day, at Hatton, an Archbishop dined, On whom the Doctor poured his mighty mind Until his Grace, no more on eating bent, Crossed knife and fork in mute astonishment. —P. 43. One day we dined on a fat buck, and Parr Was glad, as most men after dinner are; 0 Stewart," says he, " dy'e play the fool to-night ?" ". No, dearest Doctor Parr," said 1, " not quite." 0 I don't believe you, Stewart," then says he, " For, first, you're of Milesian ancestry ; " Next, you're a genius ; as for me, I hope " With any fool in Christendom to cope."—P. 53. A PUPIL OF DR. PARR. One day, amid the school's tremendous din, Just after dinner, Pan's man, John, brought in A note, betwixt his finger and his thumb, On which the Doctor shouted "Jemmy's come."— P. 253. Great Parr, if in the school he heard a noise, Would summon to the block his rudest bays; Then, with a good stout rod, that never fails, He'd tickle all their melancholy tails.—P. 240. The Doctor's portrait, though well etched and graphic, Had one great blemish—it was too seraphic.—P. 355. The Doctor much respected roasted mutton, Cut near the shoulder—here he was a glutton ; His favourite part was full of oily fat; I've seen him bolt it like a Cheshire cat.—P. 356. JOHN SYMMONS, ESQ., ABERMARLAIS, LLAN- DOVERY, SOUTH WALES. Great Dr. Parr detested stupid folks, Woe to them all ! they writhed beneath his jokes; But with great minds he toyed in friendly glee— For instance, he was very fond of nte.—P. 516. One day, as I was walking out alone, he (Great Dr. Parr) passed quick upon a poney; His dress was a large zebra-striped great coat, Stripes brown and white, and buttoned to the throat. P. 515. There was a clergyman, stiff, starch, and shy, Who loved, yet feared, great Dr. Parr ; for why ? His clerical cheeks the Doctor forced to blush, And mantle with a momentary flush.—P. 518. One morn, at breakfast, Parr exclaimed, in tone Abrupt, " you know not the Greck accents, John ;" On which I swore I did, (being rather teazed,) On which the Doctor looked exceeding pleased.— P. 527. We have given these few anecdotes from a volume of biography, whose equal is only to be met with in that imperishable publication, " The Lord Mayor's Voyage of Discovery to Oxford," in order to show still better the nature and cha racter of Parriana ; as also how admirably its contributors are adapted—by the brilliant import ance of their reminiscences—to illustrate the character of Dr. Parr. Having done so, (and we hope to their satisfaction,) we respectfully take our leave. PANIC AMONGST THE JEWELLERS. A serious alarm has been raised within these few days amongst the jewellers of the metropolis, by the extraordinary conduct of a young man, who was a very few years ago no more than a journey man to one of the fraternity. This ingenious gen tleman has contrived to dispose of about 50,000/. worth ofdiamonds, emeralds, rubies, and splendid gold and silver articles, and some of the most ex perienced and eminent men in the trade have been sufferers by his mode of dealing. About five years ago the adventurer appeared, but by what means nobody knew, as master, at the west end of the town, of a shop which was pretty well stocked with articles of jewellery. He was remarkable for the first two years for the punctuality with which he paid all demands upon him, and he of course ex tended his credit as he proceeded. By the most artful means imaginable he gained the confidence of the trade, and when it was supposed that his coun tenance would be a treasure to any beginner, he WAS suddenly found to be " wanting." He happened to reside in the immediate neighbourhood of a distinguished Nobleman, who, he made it ap pear to his acquaintances, had been greatly obliged by his closing up a window Which looked in upon his Lordship's premises, and he also made it appear that his Lordship's gratitude was worthy 6f his rank, for the nobility poured in upon the shop from all quarters. This extraordinary ac cession of business made a more extensive credit ne cessary. One diamond merchant supplied an order of jewellery to the amount of 4 , 000 /. ; and another did not hesitate to credit him for as much more; a third sent in diamonds to the value of 3,5001.; and a fourth was happy to receive an order for some splendid articles, to the amount of upwards of 5,000/. The trade were allured by the immense business which the adventurer had so suddenly acquired, and numbers were anxious for a " turn," which, to say the truth, he was not at all backward in giving. The moment, however, he received a quantity of diamonds, or other precious stones, he immediately broke them up, and disposed of them at a low rate in a different form. And all the plate he purchased he put into the crucible, so that not a single article was to be seen in the market in a shape in which i s Nsv h ei i i : o l t g imel a u ri ehne e t x t bN e ly, t a i ssbi indebtedr e d ,, i t N , o a s, d os i la a .i m ds o eb n ne d : it could be recognised.

The diamond merchant consented, but scarcely had one month elapsed when the diamond merchant re ceived 400/. from his debtor, and before die conclu sionthemouth,This was the way to do re ceiving the remainder. customer, for he business. The diamond merchant was not only of the third he was surprised at determined to follow up his success by dealing with so excellent a customer, but he was loud in conversation with his young man.

After having gone on for two years, with the reputation of having supplied the Aristo cracyßob did of the country, this active and ingenious young man met with the fate of several other clever fel- , lows, and was " smashed." The creditor thus par ticularly alluded to• has been called nothing but " Stick it into him, Bob," by those of the trade who escaped. The stopping up of the window, to which he owed a great part of his elevation in the rank of Jewellers, procured him but a very indifferent por tion of his noble neighbour's money, and apparently none of his patronage. He was, indeed, an honest man in his mode of selling, for he disposed of all the goods for less than their intrinsic value. It is the practice of great Jewellers to keep their most va luable articles in cases, and to send them round, in the care of confidential persons, to the Nobility and Gentry. The able and industrious gentleman, whose expl o i ts we h ave been recording, did his busi ness Himself; and he nev er re tu rne d h ome w i t h ou t completing th e sale; at least, he never brought back what he had taken out with him. The sensation which the knowledge of his insolvency caused amongst the trade has a parallel only in that (cer tainly of much greater trsagnitude) occasioned by the calamities amongst the Bankers in 182.5-6. ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENON. A singularmeteoric phenomenon was observed here on the evening of Monday the 15th. Between seven and eight in the evening, a luminous ap pearance in the east was observed over the sea, of very considerable brightness, bearing a close re semblance to the rising of the moon through a slightly hazy atmosphere. This continued for a considerable time without much change till about half-past eight, when a luminous arch was observed issuing apparently from it, and stretch ing fairly across the heavens like a common rainbow. It had no diversity of colour, but was of an uniform white, with a slight yellowish tinge. It seemed quite stationary and its light was regular and steady, and nearly of the same intensity through the whole of the arch. Its western extremity could not be so distinctly observed, as it was seen through the smoke of the town. About a quar ter before nine its vertex appeared exactly in the zenith, or directly over the head of the spectator-; and its breadth was nearly the same as that of a common rainbow, which became a little more dilated as it became less luminous. At a quarter past nine it was observed to be exactly at right angles to the magnetic meridian.— Though at first sight it seemed to be quite sta tionary, yet by closer and longer continued ob servation, it appeared to have a slow and equable motion towards the south, but this was particu larly evident at the crown of the arch, which seemed to move southward at the rate of 4 or 5 degrees every fifteen minutes.. This motion was not so equable at the eastern extre mity of the arch, which was when first seen a continuous part of the circle, . but as the rest of the arch moved south, this termination did not . follow the general motion, but seemed to be at tracted by a small dark cloud which remained stationary, and gave a banded appearance to its eastern leg. Both extremities were terminated by stratified clouds which retained their situa tions very nearly in the horizon, although the wind, which was very gentle, was blowin g from the N. a little inclined to East. The arch re mained nearly of the same brilliancy for about an hour ; there were no fleshings of light from any part of it, and little variety in its general .appear ance, only its extremities were more imperfect and less luminous than the superior parts. During its continuance, the larger fixed stars were visible through its most luminous parts, and those of the second and third magnitude were also dis tinctly visible as its lustre began to fade. Th;s took place about half-past nine, when it very slowly and gradually became more diffused on its western limb, patches less luminous began to spread through its whole extent, and its light be came gradually fainter, till about half-past ten it completely disappeared. Even to the last it re tained its curved shape with great exactness, but its vertex had declined southward very considerably. Two falling stars had been ob served during its appearance, in opposite parts of the heavens, one before the arch was com plete, and the other after it had become distinctly marked. The moon, before it set, had been hidden by the stratified clouds connected with the western limb of the arch, and when the moon had actually set, it was only a few degrees south of the western termination of the-arch. Previous to the appearance of this luminous arch, and during its whole continuance, an Aurora Borealis was brilliant in the north. It was attended with few corruscations, was limited to a small space above the horizon, and there was no continua tion of light between the Aurora and the arch. The intervening sky remained quite clear and in a natural state. After the arch had disappeared, the Aurora became brighter, but o ' o e nreo it did not become more extensive, and corrusca tions of a very pure white e t oeawsaed, rds a its d teasternhe oextremity . observations tio NlvigeriAet nb woue longer a frequente quarter before twelve, the flashin g of the Aurora h a d con tinued. 20 inches 4.hs during the appearance n ue mercury iot in the Of at the arch, awl the thermometer stood at 44 0 of Fahrenheit.
