CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 20.' This has been a long season with us, and the company are now very numerous; the spas are very well attended every morning. On Saturday evening a concert and ball was given at the Royal Nell Room, for the benefit of the band playing at that spa, which was attended by between five and six hundred persons, who enjoyed the concert and merry dance from between six and seven o'clock till ten. The room was brilliantly illuminated and decorated with laurels, &c. in a fanciful manner. Over the covered way, where the late King drank the waters, and other parts of the walks, were displayed several flags, consisting of the great Cross of St. George, St. George's Cross, the Union Jack, in commemora tion of the anniversary of the commencement of the reign of the House of Brunswick. This spa has much increased in sub scribers since it has been under the direction of Mr. Chambers, so much so, that to guard against a deficiency of water he is now having a new well dug close to the principal walk. The Earl and Countess Cassilis, Lord Claremont, Sir llyam Mar tin, Sir John and Lady Sherbroke, Lady Bellingham, &c. visit this spa. The promenade at Mr. Thompson's or Mont peliar spa continues its attraction from 8 o'clock till 10, where a numerous band attend. This morning they played the de lightful overture to the oratorio of Sampson in a very fine style. The entrance to this spa from the new Bath road has been con siderably improved by a neat and elegant stone entrance.—The attraction to Sherborne spa is greatly increased by the nursery grounds attached to it, in addition to the delightful rides and walks; the tops of the trees of the principal walk nearly meet, so as to form a grove. They are illuminated with large gas lanips.—Mr. Brehm gave his assistance at a concert this morn ing for the benefit of Mrs. Ashe, at the Assembly Rooms. MR. CANNING'S VISIT TO IRELAND. DUBLIN, SlllMAY.—Although Mr. CANNING has de- .clined the invitation to a public dinner, yet his frequent and attentive inspection of the public institutions of the city strongly induces one to believe, that his visit has not been merely on private business. Yesterday he sent a polite communication to the Lord Mayor, intimating his desire to see the Custom house, the Post-office, and the Kildare-street Institution. The Lord Mayor, with very praiseworthy promptitude, expressed his readiness to attend the Right Honourable Gentleman to whatever part of the city he might desire to visit ; and what renders this conduct on the part of the Lord Mayor highly ho nourable to him is, that by it he risks the displeasure of the Corporation of this clef, who have manifested in their public capacity as a body, as well as individually, a disposition to treat Mr. Canning with- intliffbrence and disregard. An effort was made by the liberal portion of the Corporation (which is by fa r the minority of it) to present him with the freedom of the city , but the indignant spirit of exclusive loyalty that animates Sir Bradley King and his followers revolted at the idea of enrolling in the list 'of their freemen an advocate for the freedom of their Catholic fellow-countrymen. The effort has therefore failed. It is an effort, however, which, if successful, would have done honour to those who made it, and which, though unsuccessful, cannot disgrace them. Under such circumstan ces the polite attentions of the Chief Magistrate of the city is doubly valuable, and it is but justice to him to add, that his conduct in this instance is but of a piece with the' independence and integrity which have marked his career in office. Accom panied by . his Lordship, and by Messrs. North and Doherty, Mr. Canning visited first the Post-office. The external appear ance of the building pleased him, but its internal arrangements did not attract his particular attention. From thence he went to the Customhouse. As soon as he entered the long room of that spacious building, the signal of his arrival was commu nicated to the several offices, and the clerks poured forth and surrounded him, from whose tumultuous pressure he was obliged to make his escape by a precipitate retreat. In deed nothing can exceed the anxiety that prevails to see him, or the general respect with which he is everywhere received. The most important visit of yesterday which he paid was that to the Kildare-street Institution, which has for the last eight or ten years obtained a grant - of eleven thousand pounds from Parliament, from the misappropriation of which money, in great measure, has sprung the recent Commission which has been issued for inquiring into the state of education in Ireland. Several charges of proselytism had been made and proved by the Catholics against this Association, al. though it set out on the declaratory principle of not inter. fering with the religious opinions of the children of whom it instructed. It has been consequently regarded with suspicion and distrust by the Catholic portion of the community, and abuses which it sanctioned have been a frequent topic of corn. plaint during the last and preceding Session of Parliament. It holds an annual meeting, at which an annual defence, of its principles and practice is made by Messrs. North and Jackson, the Secretaries. It would seem a little ominous against Mr. Canning's being made faivriacquainted with the state of Ire land, that these Gentlemen were the very persons who yieter day were, selected to shoe him the Institution, and explain to him the mode of education adopted in its schools. Mr. Can ning expressed himself extremely pleased with the system, or rather with what those Gentlemen described the system to be. Several of the pupils were examined before the Right Hon. Secretary. He was particularly taken with a boy of about eleven or twelve' years of age, who solved several questions in arithmetic, and other scholastic exercises, with remarkable rapidity and accuracy. Ile asked the ages of the children who were examined, and appeared altogether to take great interest in this Institution, and to express himself in terms of more unqualified commendation respecting it than any other pub. , lie Institution which , he has visited. But this is only looking at " the sunny side of the picture." There are tales told Of this society which would place it in a far less favourable point of view before him than that in which it appeared yester. day.—Mr. Canning dines to-day with the Lord Lieutenant, where a select party, amongst whom are the Attorney-Ge neral and Mr. Spring Rice, have been invited to meet him. —On Monday he dines with the Attorney-General, and in-' t t i e i n e_ d p s u t h o li d e e h v u o i t l e d i t n h o e afternoon he has h o o t f y t e h t at da visited.yto t u h e n s s p t e h c e ti K o h o g f of France's death, or some political event, obliges his depar ture. it is expected lie will prolong his o w w ee sin o ce r n " ten days..-..:Mr. Canning has not been in b ti which have been made in the city during that _n _ he was 18 years of age ; and the improvements aindteravlatelra, haveti dig .nitariee and other persons of distinction have been n.

The scene was more beautiful far to my eye, Than if day in its pride had arrayed it: i khe land-breeze blew mild, and the azure-arched sky Looked pure as the Spirit that made it: The murmur rose soft av I silently gazed On the shadowy wave's playful motion, From the dim distant isle till the beacon fire blazed Like a star in the midst of the ocean. NO longer the joy of the sailor-boy's breast Was heard in his wildly-breathed numbers The sea-bird had flown to her wave girdled nest, The fisherman sunk to his slumbers : One moment I looked from the hill's gentle slope, (All hushed was the billow's commotion ' ) And I thought that the beacon looked lovely as Hope, That star of life's tremulous ocean. The time is long past and the scene is afar ; Yet, when my head rest's on its pillow, Will memory sometimes rekindle the star That blazed on the breast of the billow. In life's closing hour, when the trembling soul flies, And death, still's the heart's last emotion, Oh then may the seraph of Mercy arise, Like a star on eternity's ocean ! CITTITST/4 HOSPITAL..— Yesterday being St. .Matthew's Day, the Right lion. the Loan Al av oR, one of the Sheriff's, the President. and Treasurers of Christ's, Bride well, Bethlenn, and St. Thomas's Hospitals, tog e ther w ith se veral of the Governors of the said Hospitals, attended divine service at Christ Church, Newgate-street, where they heard divine service, and an appropriate sermon from the Reverend P. Ward, A.ll. Master of one of the Grammar Schools, and who received his education at that seminary. Service being ended, the Lord Mayor, Sheriff's, Governors, &c. walked in procession from the : church to the great hall in the Hospi tal (preceded b the sword and mace bearers), where, to gether with a crowded and fashionable audience of ladies and gentlemen, they received much pleasure from hearing two orations spoken, the one in Latin, by Master E. Willis, and the other in English, by Master T. Browne, the two senior boys of the Latin and English Grammar Schools. After which the Governors and audience contributed a pecuniary reward on the youthfill orators, as a mark of their approbation. The beadles of all the Hospitals then attended and laid down their staves. The Lord Mayor, who sat at a table, decorated with all the regalia of office, surrounded by the Governors, &c. asked the City Marshal if he knew of any complaint against either of them ; and being answered in the negative, they were severally called over to take possession of their staves again, beinF reinstated in their office. His Lordship, the Governors and treasurers, were then treated with cake and wine, and the company dispersed. The Governors then went to their respec tive Hospitals, where, on this day annually, grand dinners are provided for them. We understand that the late Private Secretary of the Lord Lieutenant is shortly about to lead to the altar Miss S—., a young lady who, besides great personal attractions, brings him a fortune of 29,0001.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.) A Gentleman was lately dining with a number of Ladies in Edinburgh, when the conversation happened to turn on Mrs. Cool' Ts, then on a visit in that city. The fact of Mr. COUTTS's former wife being previously his cook, was mentioned, when one of the Ladies replied, " 0 yes, he took the former as his cook, and the latter as his dessert." The Duchess of BURGUNDY, a Princess of the House of Savoy (wife to the grandson of Loins XI V.), had her fortune told before her departure from Italy, when it was predicted that else would die at the age o f v. This prediction made of t h e hour of my dissolut s i a o i i d t i t s o n i o le w r impression on her mind, and con ed the frequent subject of her con versation. As sc v e t o, qu r s ur e : t 'n i o at n i Y. strong S f h o e r i one n day Recountof near, principles, °Wtl I Will not be able to live without er k ,e i l i ai o gs w i owu y se o l u i should he glad to your rank as of and i t ) 1" 'd u r i II know whom it is your intention to marry ?" 46 I h o pe," replied the Duke, " that will God never • ili in et so severe a punishment on me as to depri • ve me of you ; but should I experience such a mis fortune, I should not, most certainly, think, of taking a second wife; since , b • being unable to support your death, I should follow you in less than a Week." The Duke kept leis word, dying of grief on the 7th day after death. the 'of the Duchess, which took place at the time specified by the prediction. Many years ago (all the parties are now dead and gone), the wife of a City Knight was sitting for her picture to a fashionable limner at the Court end ; she was a fine, handsome, portly dame. It was on a tenth of November, the day succeeding that of my Lord Mayor's feast. The painter,a thoughtless genius, forgot, as evening approached, that heluid a sitter on hand, and fell fast asleep. The lady, finding the room so still, and fatigued with the banquetting of the preceding night, also closed her eyes, and there they might have re• mained comfortably napping until the next Lord Mayor's Day perchance, only that the Knight et six o'clock was impatient for his dinner. Alarmed at the absence of his wife, who had not been heard of since noon, and famished to boot, he posted off to the painter's, and there met his carriage in waiting. I t was on the stroke of seven. He loudly thundered at the dour—was admitted—desired to be lighted up stairs, and being there, and in a confounded rage, found my lady hoisted up in the throne chair, upon the painter's platform—snoring in ill her finery, and Mr. Painter snugly behind his canvas, alike agreeably occupied. But, for all this, believe me, Sir, scandal never whispered more than—that Lady was found in the dark with Mr. ---- the painter, and each in the arms, of—Morpheus. On Saturday last, two lads about 13 years of age went to bathe in a pond in the neighbourhood of Kentish. town, one of whom entered and swam to the opposite bank : the other, in attempting to follow his companion, being a bad swimmer, suddenly sunk where the water is about eight or nine feet deep, and the bottom being very muddy , it iss able piposeittos. gevent i, prevented tressin took fro placem again inh otfw rising e 1101 t or oeulweretheen c eof hwevems d surface. o a concourse of boys and several men, none render assistance. At this moment two gentlemen were most providently passing the road in a chaise, one of who m was Mr. Jewel, surgeon, hi Gerrard-street, Soho; the other, whose name we have i not been able to ascertain, being an expert swim mer, in the most undaunted manner rushed into the water with his clothes on, and the spot having been pointed out where it was supposed the body lay, he dived three times suc. cessively, but his humane and courageous efforts proved un availing, and being too exhausted to attempt again, he swam to the shore. A pole with a blunt hook atttached to the end of it was now brought, and after several ineffectual efforts, the body was at last found and dragged to the shore,asntadncet, to con veyed to the n eares t s h e d, a stable about 290 yards distant, which blankets and other necessary articles, by direction of Mr. Jewel, were supplied by the humane proprietor, Mr. Bid. dell, of Union -cottage, whose kindness and attention deserve the warmest commendation. Means were immedately employ. ed, under the superintendence of Mr. Jewel, for the resuscint don of the body, and, we are happy to learn, with complete silecemt- - : After three parts of an hour's active perseverance and exertion, the breathing became quite established, the pulsation was felt in the wrists ; and in the course of a few hours the senses were restored, to the inexpressible joy of his almost dis tracted parents. The body was supposed to have been in the water six ur seven minutes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES, MONDAY, SEPT. 20. The Coura Was crowded beyond all former precedent, and the most intense anxiety existed amongst all classes] and:the various rumours flying about as to horses who were expected, to . start, made the sporting men very cautious in their betting.' The variations in bitting previously to the race exceeded all former precedent. None hut those who were "in and in" could possibly discover the meaning of alternately bringing up as favourites in one stable Mustachio, Altisidora, and Caccia Piaui. 'The most knowing ones were at fault, and the cam. mon salutation was " there never was such times." On the Sunday morning great consternation was excited by Streatham being sold and delivered into the hands of --; no one could tell his owner, as it was not declared.—The following is a full and accurate statement of all the Races for the day : The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 1 figs each, with 20gs added by the Corporation ; two-year olds, 6si. ; three; Bst. ; four, Bst. 91b. ; five, 9st.

Streatham. soon after starting, took the lead, followed - by Tarandus, and made very severe running, being at one time 'at least two lengths a-head of the other horses. After passing the Red House, Bro. dandorf challenged Streatham, but was soon defeated, and the latter kept his place until he had passed the distance post; when Canteen and the Miller came up, followed by Jerry. At the Stand the Miller had the lead, which he could not keep; for Jerry, when let loose, won easy by a length. The Miller was I third (though not placed), and Streatham and Brudendorf were fourth and fifth. Run in three minutes and 29 seconds. The winner was rode in fine style by B. Smith, and Canteen by T. Shepherd. The general opinion is, that Streatham (though rode by the celebrated W. Arnold) would have won bad he been jockied by Templeman, who steered him at York, under the directions of the experienced groom who trained him. Upon the whole, though won easy in the end, it may be considered a tolerable sporting, but not a remarkably fine race. Mr. Russell's ro. g. Leporello, by I)on Juan, beat Lord Muncaster's g. m. Lucilla, by Cottingliam, 1013. each, 200 sov. Last mile. A good race. „ BALLOON FAILURE.— rLi -M . ttAHAM was to have made his thirteenth grand ascent at Worcester on Satur. day. For thirty years, there had been no balloon ascent in this part of the country; a generation had consequently sprung up, to whom the sight was a novelty replete with interest. The scene of action was a bowling-green at the extremity of the town on the Birmingham road, well adapted in every respect for such a purpose. At the early hour of 12 o'clock, crowds were moving to the spot, and up to three or four, there seemed to be no decrease in the numbers that continued to arrive. The ground upon which the inflation was taking place could not at this time contain less than two thousand people, who had each paid half-a-crown for their admission. Some gardens which overlooked the scene were also well occupied bypereons who had paid for their entrance upon a lower scale. The streets and grounds immediately adjoining the premises were completely thronged, and some green hills et the distance of about half a mile presented a beautiful appearance trom the thousands which covered their summits. The time advanced, and the balloon was only about half tilled, and making no perceptible progress. At five o'clock some impatience was manifested by the crowd, and it was then ascertained that the whole power of the gas.. works had been put on. The aeronaut now found that it was impossible to have the balloon sufficiently inflated by day-light to support his weight. Mrs. Graham, supposing its buoyant power equal to bear her, came forward in the most intrepid man ner, and declared her determination to ascend alone. bhe went on to the stage, anti the balloon was disengaged from the ropes and fastened to the car. With these preparations the tumult in the crowd had been increasing, and several gentlemen in. sisted upon Mrs. Graham's abandoning her intention. She, however, got into the car, anti intreated - her husband to detach the balloon from the cords. Her request was complied with, and the experiment proved that no ascent whatever could take place, unless the machine 'were suffered to depart by itself.— When this became apparent to the crowd, the clamour in. creased on all sides, and personal danger was to be apprehended for the parties who had caused the disappointment. Some re spectable people interfered, and appeased the majority by stat ing that there should be a free ascent on Monday. The country People, many of whom had come thirty miles from their homes, continued to be greatly exasperated, and nothing but the de termined conduct of the men employed to keep the ground pre vented serious mischief. One man cut the silk pipe of the balloon, and many threatened great violence. As the night came on, the multitude dispersed, and the balloon, to prevent accidents, was discharged, and secured within doors.—( Worces. ter Paper.)

LONGETITY.--There is now living at Sclates,' near Paisley, a man named Shaw, who was born in Sorbie parish; Wigtonshire, in the reign of Queen Anne, August 1713, and is in the 112th year of his age. He enjoys good health, and is able to go about seeking subsistence as a men.. dicant. Every Saturday he repairs to Maxwelltown, Paisley, in that capacity, and returns the same day, making a perambu lation of *even miles. He sees well, but is deficient in hearing, and wants his teeth. He must regularly have his glass of whiskey a-day ; but no Inducement is sufficient to prevail upon him to take a second. lie is still' fond of 'liv ing, and his memory is remarkable in his recollection of olden times; in proof of which the following story is in point :—lt was his usual practice, till within these four years, to repair to Greenock on the anniversary of his birth. On a late visit there he was accosted by a venerable gentleman upon the street, and was invited by him to a tavern in the neighbourhood. Having heard that he had fought at the battle of Fontenoy, he questioned him as to die officers' names, which, to the gentleman's surprise, he enumerated most exactly. He inquired if be Knew a Lieutenant in the regiment? " Yes," said he, " I should recollect him, for I carried him o ff the field when wounded, and he died next day." The stranger asked the old man's name. He answered Hugh Shaw ; and, upon referring to his notes, he found that a person of that name performed that office to the Lieutenant in question, who happened to he the gentleman's uncle. This roan, who may be styled the patriarch of Scotland, carries about with him printed copies of the certificate of his birth, signed by the present and late Minister of Sorbie, where he was born.— (Glasgow Ch rookie.)

Surgical assistance was pro. cured, but it was in vain to attempt the extraction of the ball, which had entered on the right side of his head, above the ear, and lodged on the opposite side. He lingered in a speechless state until the moment of his dissolution, Sunday last, when he bad a lucid interval, and appeared to recognise his distracted parent, whose hands he affectionately squeezed, and accorn. panied the action with looks that spoke more than words.

Faulkner to a bond for 801., was dais day put upon his trial, and acquitted in conse quence of Mr. Faulkner having admitted that the prisoner understood him to have given his consent to his signing his name. NEW COURT. John cook, aged 25, stood charged on two in dictments for stealing, on the - 2d August, , one beaver bonnet, the property of Mary Bohm, and also a gown, the property of Jenry After the evidence on the part of the prosecution had been adduced,theJury consulted for upwards of 20 minutes, and then returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy. The COMMON SERGEANT asked upon what grounds, when one of the Jurors replied, upon the insufficiency of evidence.—The COMMON SERGEANT said, if the evidence is not satisfactory to your minds, it is your duty to acquit him.-4 The Jury having consulted again, pronounced the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner was then in dicted for the second offence. On this charge the case %CRS clearly proved against him, and 'the Jury ) without hesitation, found him Guilty. CORONER'S INQUEST. • An inquisition was taken at the Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, last evening, on view of the body of Mr. John Orpe, organ.builder, in the emp lair of Messrs. Clementi and Co. who came by his death in consequence of being run over b a'single-horse chaise, at the foot of 4yre street-bill, on Friday evening last, a nd who expired in the, hottpit4l the following night. From a great mass of contradictory evidence, it was almos t impossible to form any decisiVe conclusion as to the conduct of the person who drove the chaise, a'lllr. Caleb _Nesbitt, a horse dealer, of Leather-lane all the witnesses spoke to the fact of the excessive velocity of the vehicle, which was represented to travel at the rate of from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. One man, Charles Simmonds, a.watehman i swore, that he saw the driver flourish his whip in th e air, as if urging the animal to.the top of its speed ; another person insinuated that the driver was in a state of intoxication, and consequently incapable of ma. naging the horse ; others were of opinion that there had been no excitement used by the person in the gig —neither did he appear to labour under the eff'ects of drink; and finally, that the melancholy event was ,wholly accidental, the horse having taken fright, and become , unmanageable. Nesbitt had, it appeared, first returned from Enfield, and dropped companion, Mr. Williams, in Coldhath•square ,• there were two persons followed in another chaise. Mr. Clarkson, the proprietors of Barnard's Inn, and a Mr. Emmerson, who both deposed that Nesbitt was perfectly sober. When deceased was taken up, he was apparently lifeless, but being immediately removed to the house of Henry Whitmore, surgeon,of Coldbath. stuare,that gentleman examined th tiwound s, and having elevated some fractures in the skull, which produced a depression of the brain, the deceased became sensible, and told his name. The collar.bone and several ribs were broken : he 'was 'sub. sequently removed to the Hospital, where he lived only twenty-four hours after. The brad and body were examined by Mr. Bolton, one of the Hospital surgeons, who stated, that there were no fewer than eleven .ribs broken on the left side, the skull was fractured all round, partickst of which were driven in, and the temporal bo nes w ere dreadftilly crushed the woun ds were of the very worst description ; and it was only wonderful that life was not instantaneously destroyed. The VOTIONEIL summed up at considerable length, and left it to the Jury to determine whether the accident was produced mesely from the horse taking fright, or whether it was not from a want of proper care in the driver. After some consultation, a verdict of Accidental Death was recorded, with a deodand on the horse and chaise of N. Mr. Nesbitt, on hearing that the man had diA, surrendered himself into the custody of Read, son., chief constable of Hat ton-garden Police Office, where he underwent two examina tions on a charge of furious driving, before A. S. LAING. Esq., and Mr. Sergeant SELLON the evidence was generally tl same as at the inquest, but no decision has been made, as the C roner's warrant was not returned 't sufficient time, the hives. tigation having occupied upwards of seven hours. He will be brought up again to-morrow for rehearing. It is no: a little singular that the deceased's father put a pc tied to his existence within a few yards of the place where' this accident occurred. The deceased was between 40 and 50 years old, a sober industrious man, anti much esteemed by his em ployers. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT CHESTER. • A daring robbery was committed on Thursday night last., at the office of the extc•isive coach establishment the Feathers-bin, Chester; and the mode in which it was ac. complished is at present so mysteriously concealed, as to ex cite an extraordinary sensation in that city as well as in Liver. pool. It appears that the watchmakers of Liverpool and the neighbourhood are in the weekly practice of forwarding watch cases to Chester, as well in gold as to silver, to air. Walker, the King's Assay-master there, tbr the purpose of being atibujt. ted to the usual test for ascertaining their legal standard value. The cases are regularly locked up in two or three boxes, as the quantity may require, and are sent by the mail on the Thursday, and returned by the same conveyance on the fol. lowing day. On Thursday last, two boxes, one of them con. taining about ninety pairs of gold cases, and nearly double that number of silver cases, were sent to Chester, received by Mr. Walker, assayed, and returned to Mrs. Tomlinson's office, about eight o'clock at night, for the purpose of being sent of to Liverpool, at. five o'clock next morning, by the mail.— Several losses having on previous occasions been sustained by Mrs. Tomlinson, she placed the porter, whom she considered to be a trust-worthy person, to sleep in the office. Into his care the boxes were delivered ; but early in the morning they were miss ed, and no tidings have yet been heard of them. The account he gives of the transaction is, that in the course of the night, a strange man knocked at the office-door, and begged permis sion to be allowed to remain there till morning ; that he let him in, at which time the boxes were in the room, and opened the door for him in the morning ; and soon after he bad departed, the loss was discovered. Thi s i m p ro b a bl e story obtained little credence, anti the porter (Hughes) was on Friday lodged in jail. His house was searched the smile day, when a number of articles, n o t hi s p ro p erty , i nc l u di ng keys of almost every size and description, w ere foi le d there, but none of the property missing was discovered. On Friday and Saturday, messengers were sent in every direc tion round the country, to Liverpool, Manchester, Shreeibery, Birmingham, &c.; but at present nothing has trunapired to throw a light on this most serious lo tr.. nurgese, the pnliceeofficer of Chester, and Miller and LaYendei,. the.olficers of Liverpool and Manchester, are on the qui eh:wand siest hopes are ten tertained that their endeavours. will, be successful. .'Plisse is little question' but that several persons are part ie s to the felony. On Saturday morning a man arrived at Parleglite, with a bundle, apparently in a great hurry ; lie inquired foe a boat, which he obtained, anti was conveyed from thEltee to 1111- bree Island, at the moutli of the Dee, near iloylake, and from thence to Liverpool, a dangerous passage of about twenty miles, where he was landed. I'he officer of Cheater was weedi ly after him, by the same route, and traced him to Liverpool, where it is expected the perseverance of Miller will leA to his detection. It is feared. however, that the property hag changed transferred to the roeltirtirpoL owners, and has, ere this, been —( Times.) CORN EXCHANGE, 8E PT. !M.
