The Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town yester day txtorning on his return to Hanover. His Royal High ness, attended by Count KIELMANSIZZE, entered his travel ling carriage at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, and proceeded to Dover. The Royal Duke will cross the Channel to Calais, and from thence to the residence of his father-in-law, the Elector of Hesse Cassel, at Rumpen heim, where his Royal Highness is expected to remain a few days, and afterwards to proceed to Hanover. The Duke of CLARENCE came to town Yesterday morning from his residence in lush) , Park. The Princess SerBIA visited his Royal Highness, and the LORD CIIANCELLOR. had an interview with the Royal Duke at th e Admiralty. His Royal Highness remained at the Ad nairalty till past four o'clock, and then left town on his retu rn to Bushy. Despatches were brought by a gentleman to the Foreign Office, Downing-street, yesterday afternoon from Vienna, which were forwarded by way of Hamburgh. The Prussian Minister transacted business yesterday at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. A few days since, as his MAJESTY was in-1 apecting his stud (a very usual thing at present), he ob served one of the stablemen to appear very pale and dejected. His MAJESTY humanely inquired the reason ; but the groom, astonished at this mark of condescension from his master, denied being ill. His MAJESTY, however, was in credulous, and the next day the helper was visited by the Royal Physician. A week after he received an order to go to Brighton, and not to engage himself at all in his usual occupation. The consequence was, that he is now quite recovered, and able to communicate to every one this little trait of his MAJESTY'S benevolence. THE ARMY.—The successor to the late Sir HENRY TORRENS in the office of Adjutant General, though not officially declared, is generally understood to be Sir HRRBERT TAYLOE. This appointment will give universal satisfaction in the military circles, the highly satisfactory manner in which Sir HERBERT has filled the situation in which he has hitherto served, having gained the general approbation of the numerous class of that profession with whom he, in the course of his official career, lx.oame con tinted. BRUNSWICK CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB We perceive that one of their objects is to raise a " Pro testant Rent."—Dublin Evening Post. ALNwicK.—Those annual disturbers of the peace of the people of this part of the country, bands of Irish &harem, are again spreading dismay in the villages and terror in the towns. On Saturday a scene similar to the affray of last year nearly occurred ; but by the activity of the police, and the timely sounding of the bugles calling the militia staff to arms, the gathering storm was dispelled. la the course of the day not fewer than 15 or 20 were lodged in the Correction-house. An accident nearly fatal occurred. A horse watering at the High Pant, which is the midst of the throng on such occasions, was startled, and leapt back amongst the people, by which a shearer was very seriously injureel—supposed, indeed, at the moment, as the Irish expressed it, to be killed dead. Immediately numbers of the reapers prepared to avenge themselves on the horse, and were with difficulty prevented from cutting him down with their sickles. One of our Magistrates was actively engaged in the preservation of the peace, which was so much interrupted at one time, that the shops in and near the Corn Market had to be closed. One farmer, returning home about eleven at night, was incommoded by six or eight shearers in Bondgate, one of whom placed a very disagreeable cravat round his neck—a sickle ! He sprang from his horse, seized the fellow courageously, and shook him tremendously, notwithstanding lie was alone, and surrounded by the others.— Tyne Mercury. The sale of the ancient Castle and Demesne of Bodiham, in Sussex, having created an unusual degree of sensation ; it is fortunate Mr. GEORGE ROBINS has been able to get an historical sketch of it, as we are persuaded it will be read with great interest by our readers. The following is what we have alluded to :—Bodiham Castle, Sussex, at a small distance eastward of the village of that name, is seated near the river Rother, on the bor ders of the county, on the Kent side. Independent of the great interest which these magnificent ruins pos sess for the antiquary, the solemn stillness of their scenery. arising from the motionless waters which sur round them, renders them no less delightful to the pic turesque eye than the pensive mind. Seated in a low ground, like many of the ancient mansions of England, the Castle of Bodiham is environed by a large and deep moat, and presents a figure nearly square, guarded by a round tower at each angle —having gates in the north and south parts, and a quadrangular turret on the east and west sides. The north gate is the principal entrance ; and it is approached over a road or causeway which stretches across the moat, whilst it was also formerly defended by a port cullis yet hanging on its grooves—and an advanced porch, part of which is still remaining. On each side of the en trance i s a square embattled tower ; and immediately above the gate are three escutcheons of arms carved beneath a crest of an unicorn's head. The first of these are the arms of the Lords of BODIHAM ;--the second those of the family of DALYNGRICE, by whom the Castle was built ;—and the third those of a marriage in the family now unknown.— The lodgings and offices of this Castle were parallel to the main walls, leaving an open area in the centre, and the interior forms a pleasing view of the towers and walls mantled with ivy, surrouading a square of verdure orna mented by the trees upon it. On the eastern side of the ruins is the chapel, and at the south west angle is the kitchen. The abutments of a bridge are still remaining, both at the sallyport and at the principal entrance. The great gate is very grand—it is flanked by two square machicolated towers. The east and west walls measure 165 feet ; those forming the north and south 150 feet. On the north side 'lf this Castle, as stated by the Rev. Mr. RUSSELL, in a letter to Sir WILLIAM BURRELL, is a very remarkable echo—the excellence consists in placing the hearers and singers at different distances from the edi fice. From the grants of 1 RICHARD 111. it appears that a park was at that time attached to the Castle. This noble pile, still magnificent even in its ruins, was built by one of th e DALYNCRIGES, a family of great consequence in Sussex, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. From them it passed, 31 HENRY VI. with PHILIPPA, daughter and heiress of Sir RICHARD DALYNGRIGE, to Sir THOMAS LEWICENOR. This family was also of high con sideration in Sussex—to which it gave several Knights of the Shire, and nine High Sheriffs. It became nett the property of the Earls of THANET, from whom it passed by sale to the family of Powya.r.; and at length came by purchase into the possession of Sir THOMAS WEBSTER, with whose other estates it has descended to Sir GODFREY WEBSTER, the present owner. The sale, we perceive, is fixed by GEORGE. ROBINS for the 18th Sept., with several firms, and the vicarage of Hooe--the whole of which are to be sold on the same day, and, It is uudtrstood all belong to Sir GODFREY WEBSTER, Bart.

Most of the members being at Egham Races very little was done to-day. 3 to 1 was in one instance offered against Velocipede, and we understand ithas been frequently better since Monday, but the current betting is certainly not more than 11 to 4. Jour des Noces is, we hear, a great favourite with the Newmarket people, and is expected to get up. They closed as follows :-- DONCASTER ST. LEGER. 11 to 4 agst Mr. Armitage's Velocipede ::5 to 1 agst Mr. Petrs's Colonel 5 to 1 agst Colonel King's Bossy Bedlam 6 to 1 agst Lord Milton's Ballad Singer 16 to 1 aget Mr. Theakston's Jour des Nom 25 to 1 aget Major Yarburgh's Belinda EGHAM RACES--(THURSDAY.) The races concluded yesterday, with an eclat seldom equalled, certainly never surpassed. Each match was run to time with the utmost precision, and every exertion was made, under the direction of the Stewards, to ensure a good day's sport, the result of which has far surpassed the anticipations of the most sanguine. Much regret has been expressed by the principal supporters of these races, and more particularly by the Stewards, that one of the Journals, emanating from head-quarters (Windsor), sliould have at tempted to deteriorate the prospect of success, a programme of the intended Stakes being given in their advertising co lumns. They unblushingly asserted that visitors might row in boats to the Course, the object of which could only be to prevent many persons from attending, and thus they literally threw cold water on one of the principal objects of the county, and which they ought to have been the Bret to support. All who know this part of the country, are aware that when the " waters are out," Runnymede partakes of the desolation; but, in the present instance, the fine weather has had a most beneficial effect, and for a minor Course, as now altered, perhaps few surpasses it. It is well known, that the exertions of distinguished individuals have given a character to Egham Races for the last three years which they had not before assumed, and now that they can boast the patronage of his Majesty, they are likely to become 'second only to Ascot, both in the ex tent of the stakes and the rank of the visitors. Indeed, its best days are about to be revived, and thus one of the most interesting and important eras of our history bids fair to be more strongly impressed upon the rising genera tion than heretofore, as in the very spot where our Eng lish King signed the Charter of our liberties, another Bri tish Monarch condescends to participate in the amusements' of his people. On a former occasion we stated that his Majesty had not visited these Races for twenty years, and this has given rise to several bets, the question being doubted whether any English Monarch ever attended the Magna Charts or other race at'llunnymede since the time . of King John ; it was admitted that his present Majesty was there about the period we mentioned, but that he was then only Prince of Wales ; and it was allowed that the Dukes of York and Cambridge had attended Egham Races, but no King. Oa inquiring of the post-master (who is upwards of 80 years of age, and one of the oldest inhabi tants of Egham), he told us that he well remembers his late Majesty George 111., his Queen, and family, visiting this Course several times, hie last appearance being about forty years back. We now come to the day's sport, which was remarkably fine, and in the anticipation of the King again honou rin g the Course with his presence, the assemblage was great, and the equipages more numerous than could have been expect ed, from the short time the public have been in possession of his Majesty's intention. The Grand Stand was oc cupied by fashionables of the first rank. Agreeable to the expectation held out, his Majesty ar rived on the Race Course about one o'clock, attended by the same Noblemen as on Tuesday. His Majesty was re ceived with loud cheers, which continued for sonic time. His Majesty remained on the Course till about four o'clock, when having seen his favourite mare win her race, he took his departure, amidst the acclamation of the spectators, who evidently appreciated the kind motives which influenced his Majesty in supporting and visiting races, which at no very late period were on the decline. The number of fashionables was very great, and included all those whose names have appeared in our former reports. The follow ing is an abstract of one of the finest day's races ever seen, and which did not terminate till an unusually late hour.

The third heat was won easy by Charnwood. Match for 50 soya. Two miles.—Mr. Chase's b. m. May Fly beat Mr.. Willis's gr. f. Duchess. Match for 25 sovs. One mile.—Mr. Berkeley Bond's Mirage beat Mr. Codrington's Lottery. The match between Dandelion and Constantine is off till Epsem October Meeting.

Upon ' time' being called, however, at teu o'clock, Nicholls stated that he had expected a friend, who had not yet arrived. Mr. Pierce Egan, who appeared for Ned Neal, immediately proposed to allow half an hour before he claimed forfeit ; this proffer was received with acclama tions, but upon the half-hour having elapsed, Nicholls's friend was still absent, and a forfeit was declared. The fight is, therefore, off; Neal receiving 601. for his trouble, and without striking a blow.

LEICESTER, AUG. 27.—At last the cricket matches be tween eleven of the Nottingham Old cricket Club, and eleven of the Sheffield Club, for 1001., have been perma nently arranged, to take place as follows :—First match at Nottingham, on Monday next; and the return match at the Darnall Ground, on the 22d September. Five to one has been offered that the Nottingham players bring it to a raffle before the matches are finished. The match of cricket, eleven of the three counties against eleven of all England, for 100/. a-side, is finally decided upon; to commence next Monday week (Sept. 8), at the Darnall Ground. Mr. Parry is to select his ten from all England, and we understand Caldecourt, Howard, and Matthews, are to be of the number. We believe the players on the part of the three counties will be— For Nottingham, W. Clark, T. Barker, G. Jarvis, E. Vincent. For Leicester, H. Davis, W. Gamble, W. Shilton. For Sheffield, H. Woolhouse, T. Marsden, G. Smith, H. Hall.—Leicester Herald. GRAND SAILING MATCH. A grand Sailing Match took place yesterday for a Silver Cup and Cover, given by the Thames Yacht Club, to be sailed for by gentlemen's pleasure yachts, belonging to that Club.

A grand scnliers' wager took place yesterday for a purse of sovereigns, given by gentlemen amateurs, to be rowed for by eight pair of sculls, three heats. They came in thus for the grand heat : Chas. Campbell (Yellow) I I James Gregory (White) 3 Henry Norris (Purple) 2 I Thomas Vokins (Scarlet) 4 It was a beautiful match, and was well attended by the swell patrons of aquatic sports. The opinion expressed by the Committee on the Police of the Metropolis, as to the tendency of spirits to brutalize the habits and inflame the passions of those who use them, has been echoed by the Committee on Crimi nal Commitments and Convictions. The Report says-.- " The Committee think it right not to let this opportunity pass without remarking the very great increase in the quantity of spirits consumed. Cons►dering the tendency of spirits to brutalize the habits, to inflame the passions, and to prevent gll prudent savings, this question is very important. From papers laid before Parliament it appears that the quantity of foreign and British spirits entered for home consumption, has within the last few years prodigiously increaselA. The average of three years, 1820-21-22, is, in round numbers„ 11,974,000, while the average of 1825-6-7 is 23,540,000 ; the last year gives 24,346,460, allowing (an extravagant allowance) that 6,000,000 of this quantity may be derived from suppression of illicit distillation in Ireland and the decrease of smuggling in Great Britain, still the increase is equal to one-half of the whole quantity consumed in 1821. It may be worth con sidering whether the taxes on malt and beer do not in crease the consumption of spirits, as well as prevent brew ing at home." It appears from an appendix to a report lately published by order of the House of Commons, that the number of commitments to prison in the Hundred of Salford, in Lancashire, during the year 1601, was 685, in population of 281,413, being 1 in 410 ; in 1811, the po pulation had increased to 352,699, when the commitments were 753, being 1 in 489 ; in 1821, the population was 457,280, and the commitments 3,005, being 1 in 150. The commitment returns for 1827 are given as 1 in 138, but the amount of the population is not stated. Seventeen thousand four hundred and sixty throe persons were committed to the Borough gaol of Leeds, from the year 1816 to the year 1827, inclusively, being an average of 1,455 per annum. • ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. A new farce, from the pen, as we were given to understand, of Mr. MONCRIEFF, entitled Miss Wright, or Courting by -Proxy, was produced last night at this theatre, and with very equivocal symp toms of success. The plot is feeble, though not without a c onsiderable admixture of the extravagant. As usual, there are two lovers, each gifted with the due proportion of impudence and stupidity, a testy old man, a sentimental footman, - and ti dandy. Of these the dandy (personated by WRENCH) was the most characteristic; the vivacity of the animal found in him an adequate representative ; he was listened to accordingly with satisfaction. KEELY, the lack a-daisical valet, did more for his part than it de served ; but even his best exertions, combined with those of his brother performers, could not prevent, when the curtain fell, the expression of considerable dissatisfaction on the part of the audience. The house, thanks to the spirited management of its prO prietors and the general talent of its actors, was fully and fashionably attended. STATE OF THE HARVEST. (From the Morning Herald.) LINCOLN, Auo. 26.—0 n leaving London I expected to find all the neighbourhood of this city under water, to see men reaping in boats, the wheat growing in the sheaf, the hay rotten, and to hear nothing but tales of disappointment and despair. I could hardly believe my eyes when I found that the very reverse of this was the fact. This venerable city is about 133 miles from London ; and as the greater part of the country through which the road passes is agricultural, and a great deal of it flat and exposed to floods, perhaps one could not have a fairer specimen of the state of the crops in general, for such a dis tance; and certainly, if one may judge of the rest of the country from this, there is but little ground for that alarm which has been raised in I certain quarters. The whole of the wheat is carried home, and, from all accounts that can be depended on, it has not suffered any great in jury. The general opinion seemed to be, that some of it had grown a little, and that the da mage from the rain was but trifling ; but those in general who spoke on the subject seldom failed to conclude their statement by saying the accounts from other places were worse. The fact is, there are so many interested in giving a dis' mal colouring to the state of the crops, that the accounts, as they expressed it, from other places, should be received with great caution.— There is no doubt that the crops in the fens of Lincolnshire have suffered considerably, and it is extremely probable that in the west of Eng land, where the rain appears to have been most general, there has also been damage done ; but, taking the country on the whole, it would be too much to believe the one-half of what is said on the subject. All the farmers agree in grumbling, and saying that they have suffered irreparable loss. The innkeepers sing the same song, in order to have a good reason for keeping up the price of posting : and there are corn-factors in numerable, who are moving Heaven and earth to raise the price of grain. My opinion is, that they have dispersed agents over the country to raise evil reports, for the purpose of serving their own ends. On entering the public parlour at —, we found a respectable-looking, well dressed man at breakfast. One of the party asked him about the state of the crops. "Oh very bad indeed. The wheat is nothing ; it is killed with the mildew ; net one-half of the ears are full : it is light." In short, it appeared to have every defect under the sun. I put him down for a farmer. The next question was, what may be the price of old wheat ? "Oh very high, and it is rising ; seventy shil lings a quarter are already given, and I sold some , of my own for four guineas the other day." After that, who would believe another word he said on the subject ? And there are thousands who are playing the ,same game. I may say that I have seldom enjoyed a more cheering prospect than that to be seen from London to .Lincoln. The country is extremely beautiful, and at this season peculiarly so, from the variegated views presented by the yellow corn-fields, the verdant and luxurious plantations, and the freshness of , the pasture land. In many spots the labourers were busily employed in carrying home the corn ; others they were cutting it or securing it from the weather, and not unfrequently, in fields which had been cleared, I counted more than a hun dred women and children spread up and down gleaning their portion, which the husbandmen had left them. The persons employed in this way appeared to be in general old women, with their grandchildren, each with a little sack hang ing from their middle, into which they put the ears. All seemed so delighted with the scene, so intent in getting a little pittance to carry home, that any man must have envied the farmer who, by such a trifling favour, could make so many of his fellow creatures happy. It is hardly possible for a native of Great Britain to go through this, or indeed any part of England, without feeling a secret pride and satisfaction that it is his native land. Those who have visited the Continent can best tell how far the people, by their labour, industry, and enter prise, have raised themselves above other nations, and made their country . the garden of Europe, Take France, the most civilized of the European nations, and see what a difference. France owes almost every thing to her soil and climate ; Eng land owes her superiority chiefly to the spirit of the inhabitants. In the former country you have here and there rich plains and reclining banks The military roads roads,are covered with vines, you have majestic rivers and splendid palaces for royalty, but all else is two centuries v,,retaled England.inbetihiienedxtreme,ln the the best by far, there is a rough causeway in the middle--the only part passable ; the agricul tural part of the country presents only im mense fields, nearly as dismal as the drear ocean, without.:: cottage, or indeed any sign of human life, for many miles ; and their country seats are more like haunted castles than habita tions for human beings. Only contrast this with England. The roads in general are as smooth as a bowling-green ; the country is intersected with hedges, or rows of trees, from which ap pear, at every interval, smiling cottages, ova mented with flowers and shrubs, and cleaner than many Continental Palaces ; you see s heep and cattle grazing in the fields, and o e n re . i signs of life and human industry. nter- Canals a thir ve sect the country in almost ev ery to w the hich seats of h the arles and Coaches are constantly passi n g an d repassing, many , of them drawn by horses eviteriyrecthi X. could not find equa l country gentlemen, 1 wit h their extensive la wns wide-spreading - trees , rou e in p s, resembl l e e mor t e nati he grandeur in detach ed g abodes of King s than of subjects. This is no surcharged picture, as those who hav e atten d e d to the state of the two countries can we ll attest. I h ave seldom been so much impressed with the almost' perfect improvement of the country as i n p a ssing through the district between London and this city; and the fine weather, . together with the f a vourable appearance of the crops, has given an additional effect to the impression. The weather appears to be quite settled; there has been little rain forten days ; and if one may judge from the beauti ful clear sky in the evening, with slight fogs towards the morning, there is every prospect of a continua tion of good weather. There are, however, one or two drawbacks. The cattle, and sheep, and horses—all seem to be reared with the greatest care, and, one would suppose from their appearance, are the most perfect of their kind. The peasantry, who rear them and bring them to this state of perfection, seem to be the only animals that dwindle here. With but a few ex ceptions, they are a weakly, ill-shaped, nevne ill educatedhardly r ac e, and seem not at all to keep pace with th e o th er i m pr o v e ments. The peasantry in Franc e , an d, i n d ee d, i n mos t countries on the ad appearance.space left for a Iword about Continent, are cer t a i n ly su p er i or t o them both in intelligence n Great Tom of Lincoln, of the magnificent Ca thedral which he h as so o f ten s h a k en w ith his powerful voice. Be is now silent, and cracked beyond redemption. The accident is supposed to have happened last October, when the clock underwent some repairs, and probably the work men had by some negligence allowed the hammer . to fall with such violence as to crack, in two or three places, the under part of the bell. To the credit of the Dean and Chapter, this Cathedral is kept in an excellent state of repair. REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE, Mr. William Beveridge, baker and innkeeper at Charleston limeworks, about two or three weeks ago, dreamt, and at the same time ima- gined he heard a voice intimating that he was soon to die, and that in a sudden =miler. Hay- ing afterwards, at two different times, been visit ed by the same dream and warning voice—he communicated the matter to his wife, calmly giving her to understand that he looked upon it as a presage that he was soon to be " call ed away" from her. She, however, aware how little dreams deserve to be made the subject of disquietude, paid very little attention to the circumstance, With him it was very dif ferent. So powerful an impression had the whole affair made on his mind, and so firmly was he convinced of the idea that he was doomed suddenly to bid an eternal adieu to his family, that he immediately set about making up his books and accounts, and arranging his affairs as a proper preparation for whatever might happen. But what is still more remark able, a Mr. Miller, shipbuilder in Limekilns, had a similar dream regarding the fate of his friend Mr. Beveridge ;- and such was the influence it had on his mind, that he could not next morn ing take breakfast till he had gone to Beveridge and informed him of what had taken place. This corroboration of his nocturnal warnings cone tpo h l e their e ler ominous y i o confirmed iwus him nature in ; all stillhis apprehensions appeared to i ls conduct himself with his usual cheerfulness and attention to business—and it might, but for what followed, have been forgotten by him self, and never recalled to the recollecti©n of his friends, as coupled with his lamented fate. On Tuesday, the Bth instant, a few of Mr. Beveridge's friends had occasion to go to Inverkeithing Custom-house, when he proposed to accompany them in a boat, which was agreed to. Mr. Beveridge, although much against the wish of his wife, took his gun with him, for the purpose of amusing himself with shooting by the. way. When his wife pressed him to leave his gun, he told her there was no danger—that she had no cause for alarm, as the day had not yet arrived, (alluding to the ominous warnings at his sudden death,) The boat accordingly set off with the party, all of whom appeared to in high spirits. On arriving. at Rosythe Castle, the boat put to shore, and let out one of the party, who had some business to transact at Inverkeithing,. It having been agreed that the boat was to remain till this person's return, Mr. Beveridge stept out, in the hope of getting a shat as he walked about the shore. On returning to the boat, he used the gun as a sup port to assist him in stepping in ; when it sud denly went off, and discharging its contents in his head, he fell all but lifeless on the spot, Mr. Beveridge had no sooner fallen, than his dog sprung forward, and clasped his legs round his master's body, in which position he lay for a short time—looking steadfastly and anxiously to.. wards him, when, as if to be assured of the ex tent of the injury his master had suffered, dipped his nose in the blood which was profusely flowing before him, and then bounded off to his master s house in Charleston, where his appear ance and restless manner excited no . small alarm in the family. Mr. Beveridge was carried home, where he expired in the course of a few hours,— Greenock Advertiser.

Our readers may depend upon the truth of the following anecdote :—At a Sunday School in this town, a short time since, while the children were undergoing an examination to ascertain the progress of their knowledge in Scripture history, a little girl was asked " How she could account for the fact of so large a multitude of people being fed with five loaves and t wo small fishes ?"
