PREVENTION OF CRIME, AND PROTECTION TO THE INDIGENT. A Public Meeting was this day held at the London Tavern, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of forming a Society to administer Temporary Pe cuniary Relief, &c., to those unfortunate Persons who may be charged with Felonies and Misde meanors, alleged to have been committed within the City of London and County of Middlesex, and whose Bills of Indictment are afterwards ignored by the Grand Jurors.—Sir PETER LAURIE, &c. in the Chair. The objects which this Society will have in view is, to admiunister pecuniary or such other assistance, as circumstances may require, to en able disengaged prisoners to proceed to their homes, and follow their lawful avocations, or otherwise provide them with situations in life, suited to their capacities and characters, in order that, by not being thrown on the world, they may be prevented from a recurrence of offence. By twelve o'clock a considerable number of Gentlemen of rank were in attendance, in ad. dition to which we were gratified with the pre sence of a number of Ladies, who kindly came forward i n a id o f so laudable and humane an Institution. It is also worthy of notice, that Mr. CLARK, proprietor of the Tavern, gave the use of the room gratuitously on this occasion. The Worthy Knight having taken the Chair, briefly set forth the many advantages society Would derive from the formation of a society like the one intended. Several Gentlemen addressed the Meeting, in the course of which a number of communications were read from different Societies and persons. The resolutions having been read and agreed to, a Committe e was f ormed to carry them into ef fect, and subscription n liberalcommenced by thore present. It was also resolved that the pro ceedings o f the day should he inserted in the (1 . 41 9 Morning and Eveni ng P a p ers , an d th a t th e A.ssociation should be call e d " The S o ci e ty f or the Prevention of Crime and Protection of the t — 44 ; l ' and that th e C omm itt ee s h ou ld report to a General Meeting to be called for the pur pose. pit' WOLCOT.—The British Press of this day 814,93-" Who can find cause of congratulation in the Who and poverty of PETER PINDAII ?"

PLACES OF FASHIONABLE RESORT. BRIGHTON, SEPT. s.—Fashionable arrivals generally, in land as well as by water, continue to increase with us. The Earl of Stair arrived at the Royal York Hotel on Friday, where his Lordship yet remains. Lady Ashburton and Lord Uran stoun increased the haul ton guests at the above distinguished Tavern,by alighting and taking possession of apartments there this morning. Sir Sackville Browne and a party were there yesterday, but they returned to Worthing in th e evening. The Earl of Llandaff is prolonging his stay at the Marine Hotel.— Mr. R. and Miss Marsham have left us for Norfolk; Major and Mrs. Porden, for Eastbourne; and Mrs. Dalrymple, and Mr. and Mrs. Moore, for Ramsgate. CIIELTEIRIAM. SEPT. b.—lt may with truth be asserted, that a celebrated and much-frequented Watering Place furnishes an excellent picture of the world we live it. To-day, numbers of individuals come, as it were, new born to the scene ; mingle in the diversified pleasures and customs of the place, and de part, to grace with their presence, another circle remote from that they had left. To-morrow their place is filled by new ar. rivals of personages, who figure away their hour on the guy stage of fashion, and follow the track of their predecessors. Since our last communication, such has been the case here, yet the place is always full ; lodgings are in great request. NAVAL EXCURSION. The Duke of DucxmlatAst, accompanied by General Sir GEORGE NuGENT, and a numerous, suite, is at present en joying an equate excursion among the Western Islands. Dur ing his cruise off Skye, the Success cutter, Captain Thomson, came in sight, and gave chase to his Grace's yacht for several hours. On coining up the Noble Duke apologised to Captain Thomson for having given one of his Majesty's vessels so long a run, mid was answered by a salute of 19 guns from the cutter. His Grace then requested Captain Thomson to attend him dur. ing his excursion, having had permission from Admiral Beres. ford to select any of his Majesty's cruisers on the station for that purpose. They have already visited many of the most in. teresting points on that coast, including Dunvegun Castle, the seat of Macleod, the Chief of that name, on which occasion his Grace gave a splendid Ball onboard his yacht. ARCHERY. Last week the membeiioFSToit..i.eigli-Camp Archers, in full costume, planted their targets on tli e i r b eauti f u l shooting ground, and set manfully to work at high twelve. The hand some peppering which The Gold received, was an indisputable proof of the great improvement the Club has made in this manly and healthy ex e rcise. The eveni ng , o f cour se, ended in a brisk attack on a cold collation, and a health to the pious memory of the jolly old Friar of Copmanhurst ; to which, we believe was added a cup in commemoration of " Gay little John, and the bold Robin Hood, And all Foresters good Who ever drew bow In the merry green wood." YACHT CLUD.—The Mary ' Viscount Deerhurst ; Louisa, Earl of Craven ; Erin, . — Allan, Esq. ; Jack o'Lantern, Smith, Esq. ; and Swallow, Duke of Norfolk, (yachts,) arrived st Cowes on Sunday from Cherbourg. 'The remainder of the squadron of the Royal Yacht Club sailed from Cherbourg on Saturday from the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. SURREY THEATRE.—The extraordinary suc cess of Der Frieschutz has induced the Manager of this Theatre to bring it forward, and it is alto gether so well got up, as the phrase is, that it is likely to be as attractive on the other side of the water as it has been on this. There is no want of magical terrors, incantations, tremendous scenery, and all horrific accompanyments calcu lated to give due effect to the whole ; and, dif. ficult as the music is, it is executed with great correctness and effect. The election of Freeman's Sheriff' of Norwich took place last week, when Mr. TURNER, of the Ministerial in terest, was elected in op2o..ition to Alderman SPRINGFIELD, of the contrary party.—For TURNER, 1166; SPRINGFIELD, 920. The Hon. CAISAR RODNEY, Minister Plenipo tentiary from the United States to the Government of Buenos Ayres, died in the city of Buenos Ayres on the 10th of June. His obsequies were celebrated with extraordinary pomp. Steam-boats of an excellent description are about to be introduced upon the large canal of Languedoc. EARTHQUAKE.—On the 18th August, in the afternoon, a phenomenon, very rare in this country, was ob served at Harderwyick, in Guelderland. A noise, like that of several loaded waggons running rapidly, was heard in a south west direction. In some houses the doors suddenly flew open, in others the noise was so loud, that people thought the roof was coming down. In a plantation in the town about 20 sol diers asleep on the grass were awakened by the subterraneous noise, and feeling the ground tremble under them, were fright. ened and went away. It seems, therefore, that the noise which all the inhabitants heard was under ground, and tint there was a shock of an earthquake.—(Brurrela, Sept. 1.) The recent works of TriomAs LITTLE, Esq. on Love and Beauty, Marriage and Cecisbeism, are better calculated for home and foreign trade than any which have ever appeared. Their light and elegant style, with the numerous anecdotes of real life, and illustrative plates, command such popularity as has never hitherto been obtained. The Memoirs of that celebrated toast, Harriett Wilson, Lady Berwick's sister, written by her self, are in the press, to the consternation of the first circles of fashion.—They are published by STOCILDALE ) 24 3 Opera Colonade. POETRY. ELEGY. A shadow on my spirit fell When my hush'd footstep from thee pass'd; And sad to me thy mild farewell, To me, who feared it was thy last; And when I saw thee next, a veil Was drawn upon thy features pale. They strew'd thee, in thy narrow bed, With roses from thy own loved bowers; In melting auguish Memory fled Back to thy valued rural hours ; And saw thee gentle gliding round, Wherep to thee was Eden ground. The God whose presence met thee there, Was with thee in thy slow decays; He answered to her dying prayer, Whose life had been a hymn of praise; Thy God was nigh—thy Shepherd God, With comfort of his staff and rod. I lay thee where the lov'd are laid, Rest till their change and thine shall come; Still voices whisper through the shade; A light is glimmering round the tomb; The temple rends ! the sleep is ended— The dead are gone, the pure ascended I A Cu:emus CAuTtox,The following notice is copied from the Carlow Newspappr : " A CatiTi ow TO THE PUBLIC.—We caution to the inha bitants of this town how they expose themselves to any sort of contact with persons labouring under contagious distempers-- such as fevers, plagues, or consumptions-:--and that they care. fully avoid taking colds, rheumatism, catarrhs, gouts, head aches, belly-aches, and back-aches, as well as all sorts of acute or chronic diseases, which may require the attendance of a phy sician ; there being now no less than twelve doctors, surgeons, men-midwives, and apothecaries, practising in the small town of Carlow !" The celebrated anatomist and chemical lec turer, Dr. GEORGE FORDYCE, dined every day, for more than twenty years, at Dolly's Chop-house. His researches in Comparative Anatomy had led him to conclude, that man, through custom, eats oftener than nature requires, one meal a day being sufficient for that noble animal the lion. At four o'clock, his accustomed hourof dining, the Doctor regularly took the seat at a table always reserved for him, on which were placed a silver tankard full of strong ale, a bottle of port wino, and a measure containing a quarter of a pint of brandy. The mo ment the waiter announced him, the cook put a pound and a half of rump steak on the gridiron, and on the table some delicate trifle as a bonne bouche, to serve until the steak was ready. This was sometimes half a broiled chicken! some times a plate of fish : when he had eaten this, he took one glass of brandy, and then proceeded to devour his steak. We say de vour,; because he always eat so rapidly, that one might have imagined he was hurrying away to a patient to deprive death of a dinner. When he had finished his meal, he took the remain der of his brandy, having, during his dinner, drank the tankard of ale, and afterwards the bottle of port. He thus daily spent an hour and a half of his time, and then returned to his house in Essex-street, to give his six o'clock Lecture on Chemistry._ He made no edict meal until his return next day, at 4 o'clock, to Dolly's. An unpleasant occurrence has taken place at Kilkee, in which two professional gentlemen of this city were concerned. One of them, Mr. I)—, proposed the health of Lord G—t, which was accordingly drank, without observation, by the company • when it came to the other gentleman, Mr. O'B—, to give die individual of his choice, he mentioned Mr. which was refused by Mr. 1).; this produced an altercation, in which strong language was, we understand, used on both sides. Next morning Mr. D. sent his friend (a Mr. L.) with a hostile message to his opponent, who candidly acknow. lodged, that, not considering his antagonist a gentleman, he would not meet him. The consequence of this language was, we understand, a horsewhipping on one side, antra flogging with a stout oak stick on the other. Some of the parties have been since bound over to keep the peace.—( Linierick Ob server.) THE LATE MELANCHOLY EVENT.—The body of one of the unfortunate sufferers in the lamentable catastrophe which occurred on Sunday week, in consequence of one boat ru nning down another, at Chelsea, was found on Friday last near Putney-bridge, and conveyed on shore, where an inquisi tion writhe "(may held on t h e b o d y , w h en t h e J ury a f ter hearing adduced on the occas i on , returne d a ver dict of " Accidental beagl e .. b ut lolled a deodand of 20s. upon the boat.

Sunday e was was made to recover him, but without success. Mr. Brind le), was about 50 years of age ; he has left behind him a widow and a young family. For several h nont s previous to his com mitting the melancholy act he manifested symptoms of n die. ordered mind. On Saturday he was particularly wild in his language and mann er . O n S un d ay he went up stairs, request ing - he might not be disturbed, as he wished to sleep. He came down afterwards without his shoes, and shortly was found as we have stated. An inquest will be held on his body this day. SUICIDE.---(PORTSMO UTH , SEPT. 4.)--Yester day morning Mrs. Harding, of the Blue Anchor, at Horndean, put a period to her existence, by throwing herself into a well, at the back of the house, of 142 feet deep. The deceased had for some months past been in a low desponding state of mind, and had excited the care and almost constant watchfulness of her husband ; but unfortunately, on her awaking early yester day morning, and finding him fast asleep, site, without die. turbing him, got up, half dressed herself, and went to the well ; thought the husband was soon awoke by the noise which he was the shutting of the well-lid, and missing his wife, he hastened down stairs and ran to the well, when be heard the deceased in it faintly crying out for help, and begging that the bucket might be let down, which was immediately done, and a man went down to her assistance, but before he could get down she was dead, and had sunk to the bottom of the water. The body was soon got up, and medical assistance called in, but the . vital spark hail fled. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body, the same day, before Sir. LONGCROFT, and the follow ing verdict returned—" The deceased, in a fit of temporary de rangement, destroyed hersel f."—( mpsh ire Chronicle.) A shocking accident occurred on Saturday, in Great Marlborough-street, at the house of Mr. Butcher, whose son (a fine child of three years old) was playing in the kitchen, whilst the cook was preparing dinner, when the child by some means upset a frying pan of boiling fat, the whole of which went over him, and scalded him in a most dreadful manner. Mr. Leech, surgeon, of Poland -stre e t, was immediately sent for, as also Dr. Gordon, of Hanover-street. The child is not yet considered out of danger. A serious accident happened yesterday after noon to a fine little boy, about live years of age, the son of Mr. Buck, Pulteney.terrace, Islington : he was looking nut of a window on the second floor, and overbalancing himself, tell into the street. A tree, on which he fell, in some measure checked the violence of his descent, but we are sorry to say the injuries he received were so severe, that little hope is enter. tained of his recovery. He was conveyed to st. Bartholomew's Hospital. A forgery, a very close imitation of the notes issued by the Commercial Bank of Scotland, is in circulation. The public cannot be too much on their guard against decep tion on this score, as more than one knowing person has been taken in by the forgeries in circulation. The most m a te r i a l difference between the forged notes and the genuine is, that in the former the names of the cashier and accountant are eng-rav ed in imitation of writing, in place of being actually written. The Government stamps, both according to the improved and the old method, are as well done upon the forgeries as upon the genuine notes. THEATRICALS.—In a small town on the south coast of Fife, an itinerant band of players have been performing for the last ten days. Finding their success not very great, they resolved to de camp, and in order to obtain a full house on the last night of acting (which was the Tragedy of Macbeth), they caused the bellman, who went through the town to announce the play, to state, that those who were not pleased with the per formance, would get back their money after it was over. The bellman, however, was a bit of a wag, for after calling out what we have stated, in an audible voice, he added, in an under tone, by way of caution to his fellow-citizens, " But, sirs, it's ill taki n alts frae geese."—.(Edinburgh Courant) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

This circumstance created much confusion amongst the betters, and called forth sonic disapprobation from the spectators. It was afterwards stated to have been the desire of Mr. Lambton, who unfortunately was not present, that Royalist was to win if he could, and Verona's jockey adhered so strictly to his instruc tions that he would not let her take the race, though she clearly had won it ; and, indeed, it seemed to be rather a difficult matter to prevent her. 3lalham Tame was beaten a long way.

On Monday a stag was sent to London, which afforded a chace of one hour and 40 minutes, without a check. It is said that 40 are to be hunted down, and sent to the Royal lair near Windsor. The red deer in the Forest are supposed to be a French breed, brought over by William the Conqueror, and are remarkable for their speed. CRICKET.

All that we can gather on the subject is, that the Edinburgh side of the question is rather more bright than it was a month or two since. It is, as hitherto appears, a most equal match, and one of the games is very likely to be drawn, so that the match may not he concluded for a long period of time to come. —( Edinburgh Indepcndent. ry.l yesterday ane, a Coroner's I nqu est was held in Druryanne, Dublin, on the body of Hannah Byrne, who, being in a state of great intoxication about 7 o'clock ononthe evening of Tuesday, was put to bed by a woman 104-ICng in the next room, where she was found dead in the morning.— The Jury brought in a Verdict—" We find Hannah Byrne came by her death from suffocation, caused by extreme intoxication." LINEN TRADE. The want of bleach-greens in the South of Ire land is much complained of by the London merchants, who purchase many thousand pieces which are shipped to' Loudon, and then sent off to Scotland, for bleaching. On Tuesday last, pursuant to appointment by P.,BEstimas, Esq. of the Linen Board, a Meeting was held in the Court house, Newcastle, which was attended by the Ladies and Gentlemen of the town and vicinity, together with the Weavers and other persons taterested in the Linen Trade.— Mr. Besnard addressed the Meeting in a most don: and im pressive manner, and earnestly recommended the establishment of a Linen Market, to be held wezkly ; he stated, in consequence of the poverty of the weavers, that a loan should be procured to enable them to purchase thread, &c. lie said that the town and." neighbourhood of Newcastlebeing so extremely populous, the in habitants would be greatly benefited by adopting the system re. commended by the Board. In part of the North of Ireland, there were upwards.of 700 people tothe square mile, all industrious and comfortable, while in part of the County Clare, where the inanu facture of flax is not attended to, although there are not more than 200 people to the square mile, they are nearly all paupers. Mr. Bernard, accompanied by a Dutch boy, proceeded to 'a field of flax belonging to Mr. Furlong, where he explained to a concourse of people the method of preparing flax according to the Dutch system.—(Limerick Observer. As we understand the whole system of the Dutch method of rippling, steeping, and saving flax is now carrying on at Caber, on a large scale, and und er t h e super indentience of a Dutch farmer, it is hoped that all persons who feel interested iu the welfare of their country, and are therefore desirous of dissemi nating throughout the country a thorough practical knowledge of so valuable an improvement, will anxiously avail themselves of the opportunity now afforded them of seeing the whole pro cess performed in the highest perfection.—( Clonmel Herald.)

Yesterday, a young man of gentlemanly ad: dress and very prepossessing appearance, was brought h an d. cuffed, and in custody of a military guard, to the Head Police office, under a charge of desertion. When before the Magistrates the prisoner stated his name to be Clement Harris ; that he had served his time to an attorney, and that in the year 1817, he enlisted in the 46th regiment for seven years' service; that after remaining a year with the. regiment, lie obtained a furlough, for the purpose of vieitin!,: his friends in Monaghan, where on his arrival he was shortly afterwards arrested for a debt of twenty-three pounds and placed in jail, from which he wrote to the Adjutant of his Regiment, informing him of his situation ; but the amount of the debt being three pounds over that which entitled hint to his discharge as a private soldier, he remained in custody until last May, when lie had himself removed by 'lobed: Corpus, to the Four Court 61arshalmea, in order to obtain the benefit of the Insolvent Act; but after his arrival its Dublin, being enabled to settle the debt without having re. course to the benefit of the Act, he obtained his discharge from the prison on Tuesday, and on his being about to inhale the reviving air of liberty, he was handed over to the Provost Marshal, under a warrant from the Magistrates of the Head Police-office, as a deserter. The prisoner submitted, that, as he had been confined for six years under a civil process, and had served one year in the regiment, the period of seven years, for which' he had originally enlisted, was expired, and therefore he could not be considered its a deserter. The prisoner tdo stated that he was entitled to a property of' AWL per annum, through the Maseareene family, and it was the object of those who were keeping hint out of the property that he should by sent abroad to some of the condemned regiments, in order to prevent him prosecuting his claim. It appeared that during his confinement in Monaghan gaol he married the gaoler's daughter, and that shortly after his arrest a warrant and committal were transmitted from Dublin, directed to the gaoler of Monaghan, charging him as a deserter. The prisoner's wife and her lather (the gaoler) arc now both dead. The same vigilance which procured the warrant for his detention at Monaghan as a deserter was exercised on his re moval to Dublin, and the new warrant obtained upon which he was now brought before the Magistrates, and he complained that the warrant was so strictly executed as not to permit his returning to his room in the Marshaleca, where he had in his trunk bills and other property amounting to SOL ; nor would the officers permit him to change his jacket, that he was accuse totted to wear in the prison. The MADISTIIATEB remanded him to the custody of the. Provost Marshal,until the circumstances should be made known. to the Commander of the Forces. EXPERIMENTAL REFUGE.—Our Readout, we believe, have heard of an experiment—in the nature of a Re fuge for juvenile offenders—conducted by a Committee, of whom Lady Carnegy and Mrs. Fletcher are leading members. It was commenced at Water of Leith, and has now been con tinued, with better prospects, at a little to the westward and southward of Coates Crescent. The immediate superintendent of the boys—six in number—is a shoemaker. Their residence with him is entirely voluntary. They have plain fOod—plain clothes—and are carel for every way, rather in the hornliest manner for children of working tradesmen. Their master in structs them in his own trade of shoemaking, and they are also taught reading, writing and accounts. One boy has been 15 months in the Refuge, and has made considerable proficiency. Other two have been eight months, and they are not less promising. Another has been about seven, and the other two about tett weeks. In writing, in particular, they are all making wind. derable progress ; they are not complained of as inclined to idle ness ; and two of them can already make shoes in a tolerably neat manner.

About 7 o'clock he was observed going hat° the house in a shameful state of intoxication, and he was never afterwards seen alive : on Monday night and Tuesday the neigh bours were very much disturbed and alarmed by the incessant squalling of a cat which was confined in the house.
