It was on the night of the 18th that an estafetic brought the news of the death of Louis XVIII., announced by a telegraphic dispatch to Bayonne. The King has ordered Court mourning for three months. Viscount Digeon,' General in Chief of the French Army announced to them that Louis the Eighteenth had terminated his glorious career, and his august Brother Charles X. had SOC.. ceeded him. We learn from the Havannah that the Sabina frigate has completely re-victualled the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 25.—The Chief of the Janissaries has caused to be strangled two officers of the Janissaries who posted up a few days since, that a great fire would take place during the pre scot moon. The guard seized two Janissaries at the moment they were going to fire some houses. The Janissaries still were discontented on the 22d and 23d.

DEFEAT OF THE ASHANTEES. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 29, 1824. Arrived his Majesty's frigate Thetis, of 46 guns, Sir JohIN PHILLIMORE, lint., with dis patches from Cape Coast Castle, announcing that the Ashantees were totally defeated in an action which took place on the 11th of July, between their force, commanded by the KING in person, and British allied force under the command of Lieut.-Col. SUTHERLAND, in which our force sus. tained a loss of abont 500 men in killed and wounded, principally of the Fantee force. Capt. -- was the only officer killed. The amount of the loss of the Ashantees is not known. Their force was estimated at about 15,000 men. We had opportunity, in this battle, of the use of field pieces, from which were fired grape and canister shot, which caused great havoc among die ene my, and so much surprised them, that they showed no dispositiOn whatever to renew the battle. They came down with a determined in tention to take the Castle. The battle was fought about three quarters of a mile from the shore. Parties of marines and seamen were landed from the Thetis to aid in the contest. When the The tis left Cape Coast, on the 2Nd ofJuly, nothing had been heard or seen of the enemy since the battle, although parties had been sent out in search of them. It was therefore supposed that they had given up the contest, and had retired to their own country. Colonel SUTHERLAND came home in the Thetis. AIERCANTILE SHIPPING. According to Lloyd's List, upwards of 400 vessels from fo reign parts arrived in the port of London, between the 20th and 26th instant, the majority of which were laden with oats.

The funeral was not distingulsbaby any ostentatious display, bat under the direction of Mr. Trey!lan, the underuiker, wa.s mar shalled in a very orderly manner. Tile inscription on the coffin was very simple, merely mentioning the name and age of the deceased, who front it appears to have been born In 1740.. The hearse was unadorned with feathers, but was drawn by four horses. It was followed by one mourning-coach, containing Dr. Gilchrist, General Pepe, Peter Walker, Esq., and 'l'. Cleary, Esq., as chief-mourners. The procession w as c l ose d by eight private carriages, containing in the first Joseph Hume, Esq., 11 .P.; Peter Moore, Esq., ; Dr. llarrison, the Canon Riego, Captain Matthews, J. Rogers, Esq., - Kerr, Esq., and a number of the private and public friends of the de ceased. The procession moved through Burton -crescent, fol lowed by a crowd of pedestrians, into the New-road, and pro ceeded onwards to Finchley. Da. J. 8.. Dins.--r-Yesterday died at his house, Clapham-common,' Join; BUNNELI. DivuL senior physician and founder of the Royal Universal Infirmary for Children ; a man eminent in his profession, and whose be nevolence and beneficence to the poor and unfortunate of his fellow-creatures knew no bounds. As a memorial of his bene volence, he has left to his country the Institution of which he was the founder, an institution than which none can be more useful ; and his solicits de, for the prosperity of which aggra vated, if it did not prodtice, the disease that terminated his valuable life. An amiable and interesting family, and a nu merous circle of friends of the very highest respectability, bewail his untimely and much-to-be-lamented death. THE LATE Mr. WATT.—At the General Meet .. big of the Proprietors of the Birmingham Canal Navigation, held at ,their Office on Friday last, it was unanimously resolved that the su'ni of 100/. be subscribed by this Company, in aid of the fund in Lofton, for the purpose of erecting it national mo nument in Westminster Abbey, or St. Paul's Cathedral, to the memory of the late James Watt, as a tribute of respect for the important benefits which, by his extraordinary talents, he has conferred upon his country, and mankind in general ; and par ticularly as a testimonial of the gratitude of the proprietors of the Birmingham Canal Navigation, for the signal services con ferred by him on that undertaking during .the many ye ars i n which he acted as a Member of their Committee. NEW ROADS.—A communication from the west end of the town to the North-road will, in a short time, be opened by a new road which is making from the Regent's Park across the Hampstead-road, near the Red Caps at Cam den Town, from thence, taking an oblique direction across the field, to the back road Kentish Town, and again on in the same direction to the North-road, coming in near the Crown at the bottom of Highgate-hill, in the Holloway-road. Another road is also said to be in contemplation, from the West to the North-road, by St. John's-wood, taking a line to the left of Hampstead, avoiding the hill, and joining the North-road near Finchley. Great part of the new street, opposite the Quadrant, has been inclosed with a high paling, previous to being Macadamized. The length of the present water and gas pipes under the pavement in London, is said to exceed twelve hundred miles. There was a ' difference of not less than 45 degrees in the height of the thermometer, at the same hour of the day, of Sunday last and the Sunday preceding. Yid I ttoN.—The great scarcity of pig iron, and the extraordinary advance in price, is almost without pre cedent. We are informed, by unquestionable authority, that the advance on this article, within the last twelve months, his been fully 60 per cent. This we apprehend wi ll greatly Ufrect the consumers of iron in general, in this town and neighbour. hood.—(Monehester Mercury.) We learn by the arrival of a gentleman from York, Upper Canada, that the first fourth of the sum of 120,0001. procured by Mr. GALT, for the sufferers in that province, during the late war with the Americans, has been paid. The actual conversations and opinions of the late Lord BynoN, upon general literature, the' arts, and public men, treasured up by a very in timate friend of his Lordship during the most in teresting period •of the Noble Lord's eventful life, have been preserved, and are to be pub lished, prefaced by a short, but authentic Bio graphical Sketch.. ~~ yr .) '" rw• • ' • q l „ ANctm.. THE KING. lirrxDson, SEPT. 29.—This afternoon his MAJESTY, ac companied by the Marquis Conyngham, left the Royal Lodge for his accustomed airing in the Great Park. The King was attended by his usual outriders. Saddled horses followed the phaeton, that his Majesty might enjoy the exercise of riding on horseback, which the King h as occasio nally done during the past week.—The whole of his Majesty's visitors have now left the Royal Lodge. -Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, with Prince Leiningen, left Frogmore for Bushy Park, and since then, the Prince and Princess Esterhazy have departed for London, and the Earl and Countess Bathurst, with Lady, Georgians Bathurst, for Strathfieldsay.—The Birth.day of her Royal Highness the Queen Dowager of Wirtembursgh was noticed this day by the ringing of the parish church bells ; and at one o'clock a Royal salute was fired in the Bachelor's Acre.—A Select Party is ex pected at the Royal Lodge on Friday. for the purpose of phea. sant shooting in the Great Park.—On Friday evening there will be a Public Ball and Supper at the Town Hall, to cele. brate his Majesty's taking up his residence at the Castle, which is expected will be very numerously and fashionably attended. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

Villeboys, for Shadfield, near Wickham, in Hampshire. HYDE PARK. We are happy to find that the necessary protection to the Statue of Achilles is about to be afforded by the erection of a strong square iron-railing, the preparations for which have already commenced. The inscription, which has been so bar barously effaced, will of course be restored to the pedestal. In other parts of the Yark,•near the Serpentine River, considerable improvements are also about to take place. DEPARTURE OF MR. CANNING. Duntax, SEPT. 27.—0 n yesterday morning Mr. CAX. Na proceeded to Howth, accompanied by the Lord Mayor, Colonel Ileyrick Shawe, Sir Colin Campbell, Dr. Hunter, ,Scc. The party partook of an elegant &Jenne, provided by Sir E. and Lady Lees, at their Lodge at Howth. !lir. Canning, after breakfast, ascended the hill at the rear of the Lodge, attonded by the Lord Mayor, to view the beauties of the surrounding scenery, with which he appeared much gratified. At eight o'clock the Right Hon. Gentleman took his leave of the distin guished characters who had accompanied him, and embarked on board his Majesty's steam-packet Harlequin, under a salute of twenty...one guns. From the very favourable state of the weather, it was conjectured that the packet would make the trip to Holyhead in about six hours.—Upon Mr. Canning's taking leave of the Lord Mayor, he exressed his acknow ledgments most particularly to his Lordship for the atten tions he had experienced front him during Ins visit to Dub lin.—Mr. Canning, we are informed, on Friday night last, in the course of a conversation with the Lord Mayor, alluded to the splendid and prosperous appearance of the City of Dublin. Our worthy Chief Magistrate, it seems, took this occasion to suggest to the Hon. Secretary that he had, up to that time, only seen the bright side of the picture, and that the splendour of Dublin was merely external. His Lordship, in continuation, observed, that he had hitherto abstained from bringing to his view those gloomy scenes which might prove offensive to his feelings. Mr. Canning, upon this, expressed a desire to be informed of every circumstance connected with the present state of the metropolis of Ireland, and the result was, the visits to the Mendicity establishment and the Liberty, which we have already detailed.—( Dublin Star, Sept. 27.) Letter* have been received in town from Tamworth, in Std. ford,hire, which state that Sir Robert Peel is much better. Sir William J. Hope leaves town in a few days on a visit to Scotland, where it is expected he will remain some weeks. Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a grand dinner to the Lord ;Mayor Elea, the new Sheriff's, several of th e Aldermen, R e . corder, Common Sergeant, and a very numerous party, at the Mansion-house. - 'i'he•Members of the Royal Yacht Club having terminated their aquatic excursions for the season, Lord Yarborough gave a splendid ball upon the occasion on Monday night, on board the Falcon, which was attended by about 900 of the visiters of Cowes and other part...of the Isle of Wight. The company quitted the Falcon about four o'clock in the morning ; and many of the boats fitted up as gondolas with lamps had a novel and pleasing effect. GAINSBOROUGII had dined one day at A int.'s, the musician and celebrated lutanist, where the company drank very freely. Although much in toxicated, GAINSBOROUGH insisted on going home alone. It being late and dark, he fell on the pavement, and being unable to rise he lay until he fell asleep. A. woman of the town see ing a gentleman in this situation, placed him in a coach, and having taken him to her lodgings, put him to bed in a state of insensibility. In the morning GAINSBOItOUGH awoke, amazed to find himself in so strange a room, with a woman of whom he knew nothing, and ignorant of the man ner in which he got there. He now began to reflect on his situation ; and getting silently out of bed to examine his pocket, found his pocket book with its contents gone, and also his gold watch. Alarmed for the loss of these, and doubtful how to act, lie got again into bed. In a short time after the woman awoke, and finding her guest restless and apparently uneasy, inquir ed the cause. lie told her of his loss, and that in the book were bills to the amount of 4301. which he had received the day before. She told him the book and watch were in her• possession ; and then informed him of the , manner in which she had discovered' him and the following cir cumstances: " It was her misfortune," she said, 46 to be connected with a young mall of bad habits and disposition, who, had he visited her the preceeding night, as she expected, would have robbed him of every thing valuable." After pressing him to breakfast with her, she returned him his property. GAINSBOROUGII gave her the odd 30!. and, having thanked her, depa r t e d. lie continued a friend to her until his death. A HIGH COMPLIMENT. - Sir an Irish knight, was married to the daughter of Lord C--, a connection of which the knight was somewhat proud. Boasting of this union once to a friend, he observed that his Lordship had paid him the highest compliment in his power. He had seven daughters, said he, and he gave me the wildest ; and he totddme too, that if he had an oulder I should have her.--(News of Literature and Fashion.) - PARTY SPIRIT.—Party spirit is so high in Edinburgh (an Edinburghian was lately telling in London), that Whigs and Tories are not in vited to meet at the same tables. "We are still worse in London," observed one of the company, " for we giv e di n ners for the sake of making par ties, and include pelican of every way of think ing." TIIE Co vExT-GARDEN.—This Theatre opened again last night with the last new Comedy, entitled Pride Shall Have a Fall. This Comedy was very attractive last season, and its popularity is ndt likely soon to subside. There is a portion of intellectual power, as well as of broad hu mour, in the piece, which skews a mind far above the ordinary standard of most modern dramatists. The play too is well cast, and the performers in general seem to be satisfied with their charac ters—a circumstance that at once renders justice to the author, and heightens the entertainment of the audience. The afterpiece was Brother and Sister, an interesting little drama, which received good support from the performers in general, and in which the vocal powers of Miss PATON ap peared to peculiar advantage. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES, 'WEDNESDAY,SF.PT. 29. The beauty of the weather, and the promise held out of great sport, attracted an attendance nearly as numerous as that of yesterday ; nor did they return with their wishes and expects tuMs ungratified, the different Stakes, &c. being well con tested, and productive of general satisfaction. 14'e are happy to add, that the day's sport was not interrupted either by acci. dents or pickpockets, the former being prevented by . the good management of Mr . Coombe, and the latter by the vigilance of the Police. The following is an accurate account of the sport : The Kingston Stakes of lOgs each, for horses not thorough. bred, did not fill. The Walton Cup for ponies, not exceeding 13 hands, that never won a 101. Prize, to carry Ost. and to be allowed 71b. for every inch under. Mr. Wyatt's b. m.

Our late races afforded some good sport, and assembled a large concourse of people, in spite of very unfavourable weather. The Steward may have settled one or two points in a manner the eligihleness of which was disputed, in spite of his desire to meet the wishes of every body. But those acknowledged the best judges present of what pertains to races, were unani. mously in favour of the opinions acted upon, as furnishing a precedent more propitious to the continuan c e o f th ese d es i ra bl e ' races which, since their establishment only a few years ago, have been found so usefully to add to the attractions and popu larity of the place.

He com. nienced his undertaking on Friday last. AUSTRIAN LOAN NEGOCIATED BY MR. N. M. ROTHSCHILD IN LONDON.—The half-yearly divi dend on the said Loan, falling clue on Monday, the Ist of November, will be paid on that and every succeeding day (Sundays excepted) be tween the hours of ten and two. It is requested that the dividend warrants, with a list thereof in numerical order, may be left one day previous, for the purpose of being examined.—New-court, Sept. 29, 1824. The children of the Military Asylum, Chelsea, were last night permitted by his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK to witness the representation of The Battle of Waterloo, at DAVIS'S Amphi theatre. The house was excessively crowded ; and as nearly 700 of the children occupied a con spicuous situation, the sight was extremely grati- I fying, and made an extraordinary impression on the feelings of the audience. In the Review scene, the beautiful little Band belonging to the school appeared on the stage to join in the marches ; and, at the conclusion, " God save the King" was played and sung in the most impres sive manner. , CHATEAUBRIAND, since the return of the BOURBON dynasty, has contributed to our Lite rary Fund, at one time 20 and at another 30 pounds. These are acts of commendable grati tude on the part of the Noble Viscount, for on re ferring to the archives of this institution, we per ceive that when in absolute want himself, 1w wr.s relieved by the Society under the name of Briand. When FOOTE was one day lamenting his grow ing old, a pert young fellow asked him what he would give to be as young as he? " 1 would be almost content," said Foote, " to be as foolish." ANOLO.CIIINE3r CoLLEGE.—There is an In stitution at Malacca, called the Anglo-Chinese College, whi.h is intended to promote the study by Europeans of Chinese Li terature, and the study of English by the native Chinese, with the ultimate view of transferring to Eastern Asia, anti the islands beyond It, the Literature of Europe.— The Anglo-Chinese College is still in its infancy ; there are in it, as'students, about 20 Chinese youths, of front 10 to 20 years of age. The bite Dr. Milne, an eleve of the London Missionary Society, was the first Principal of the College, and he is succeeded by two Gentlemen, whose names are Humphreys and Collie. Amongst other voluntary subscriptions, we hear that a Gentleman, a friend of literature, has given I,AOO/. to the College, together with a valuable collection of upwards of 300 volumes to the ,library. villains o tos e v n e t n e o r r 29, lcony o front fthe of draw.tli house,se gu t .

On Sunday morning, when the old man got up, helound the hall-door wide open, by which way the thieves had escaped. The old man also found that a box belonging to himself, which stood in the pantry, had been broken open,:and his watch, and a great part of hiswearing apparel, stolen. Plank, the chief officer of Marlborough-street, who was sent for to inspect the premises, Is of opinion that the robbery was committed by . sonic persons well acquainted with the house, and not experienced thieves, as no implements of housebreaking were used, or any attempt made to force any of the drawing.room windows, but the thieves went directly to the only window that was unfastened , as if they knew the fact. The pantry door, which was locked, was not forced open, but lifted completely Wits hinges. On the night of the 9th instant,, a great sire broke out on three different points of the build ings of a farm belonging to the castle of Tyber. moat, near Dieppe, which was seen at Dieppe at the distance of a league. The breaking out of the fire at three different points simultaneously, led to the conclusion that malice, not accident, was the cause. A beggar, who had been refused alms at the farm, was sispected l and hat been apprehended. • • • • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. [ADJOURNMENT DAY.] William Clifford, who was found guilty for an assault on Mr. George Fox, came up to be dis charged on his own recognizance. The Chairman (Mr. coNsT), addressing him self to the prisoner, said, I hope you are more reconciled now than when you appeared here be fore. You were convicted for an assault, but the Court has no wish to keep you in prison if yotz can behave yourself. Prisoner—My Lord, my object in refusing to be tried at this Court was my wish to be tried by my God and my King, those words I repeated several times, and took them down in writing.

Bour.orplE-Sun-MEn, SEPT. 26.—A dreadfu l instance of the effect of jealousy has occurid here this morning. It appears that, about two years since, a painter of the name of Merchant, married a young woman of a neighbouring village, to whom he had been for some time attached. He was a man of industrious habits and excellent character, and his wife was po , sessed of great personal beauty. They lived happily to gepier on the profits of his business, 'as a house-painter, un'il the love of pleasure and a lively disposition led the wile into an inattention to her domestic duties, for which she was frequently reproved by% her husband. 'Ms led to several bickerings, and at last to severe quarrels. Neither husband nor wife were of the most patient temper, and the ten dencr to irritaiion on his pert was increased by a suspicion of her fidelity. These suspicions in the end proved to be too well founded, and discoveries were made, by which her criminality with a soldier of the 'Veteran Battalion was established.— The . remonstrances of the husband were in rain, and she resisted ever attempt to break .off the connection with her paramour. When all was found to he inefflecrive, she was seta to her family, hut the infatuated husband could not exist without her, and after a short time took her home again. She renewed her intimacy with the Veteran, and drove her husband to a state of almost desperation.— It appeared, that on the night previous to the murder she wits absent to a very late hour, and on her return, nearly at four in the morning, she was heard quarrtlling violently with her husband. No notice was taken of the circumstance, as it was one of common occurrence, and as the noise ceased after a short time. A woman who slept in the room underneath them felt, 'soon after the cessation of the quarrel, something wet dropping on her face, through the chinks of the . door, but took no notice, as she fancied that water might have been spilt in their chamber. When the alarm was subsequently given, this woman was horrified on finding that her face and bed-clothes were stained with blood. From thence it is hue gined that the act of murder was perpetrated when the quarrel appeared to have been terminated. ft must have been sud denly effected, as no struggling was heard, or any noise to ex cite alarm, beyond the usual vehemence of the unfortunate persons when disputing. Soon after seven o'clock, the owner of the bailee was surprised on meeting Merchant on the stairs, his fare and hands marked with blood. He had a bundle with him, and was about leaving; • the house, when the landlord stopped him and asked him what was the matter. The un fortunate man could melte no reply, but seemed like one la bouring; under some dreadful Anguish. The landlord forced back to his own room, and on opening the door was horror struck on seeing the body of Alarchant's ill-fated wife lay... ing across the bed—her throat cut and blood streaming from it on the floor. " I have killed her," said the desperate man, gnashing his teeth; and then attempted to force his way down stairs. This was prevented by the landlord, who succeeded in pushing him back into the room, the door of which he lock ed, while he himself ran to fetch the police. On the ar rival of the police in the Place des Victoreis, where the house is, Merchant was seen at thawindow„from whence . he withdrew on recognizing them. The officers then proceeded Op stairs, and attempted to open the door, hut met some resilience. On getting it at last free, they found the unfortunate nom writhing in the last agonies of death on thegraund near ihe door, against which he had fallen. He had, it would seem, teen so terrified on seeing the police, that he took up the same razor with which the murder of Isis wife was effected, and cut his own throat in the .most ferocious and determined manner. Life was not extinct whea the officers discovered his situation, and Blarchant was taken itt. stantly to the hospitel,' where surgical assistance was Oven, but the wretched man's fate was accomplished,and he died man hour. Judging front all the eirctimstances of the case, there can be no doubt that the poor man was worked up by jealousy 'to a state of fury, to which the wicked woman to whom he had the Ws, fortune to be united fell the first sacrifice. The husband, by all account, deserved a better end. An Inquisition was taken at the White Horse , " in liricit.lane. St. Luke's, before ThomAo f3xtnt.trto , Es'. Coroner, on the body of an infant, aged two months, son oi Stiles, a watchmaker. It appeared from the evi. denee of the father, whose grief and distress during his ex. amination were of the most disconsolate appearance, that his wifc, win curries on the trade of a green-grocer and fruit erer, rose at an early hour to go to market to putt hate stock for the shop, lenying the infant in bed. On their return front market, he went up stairs to the room which they slept, which he also used as his workshop, and not being aware of the infant's situation, proceeded to put it in proper order for commencing his business, for which purpose he turned up the bed, which was in a 'press bedstead. in about twenty minutes afterwards, as the family were sitting below nt breakfast, he desired one of the eldest of the children, of which there arc six surviving, to go up stairs and open the window. His wife deiired that it might not be opened just then, as the child was in the bed. In the agony of the moment, excited by the aud. den consciousness thus awak.n2d of Cie t on tequer ce of his nil, guarded act, he exclaimed, ‘• Good God then I have killed my child !" To rush up stairs to extricate the infant from itr shocking situation was the work of an instant, and surgical aid was as promptly procured ; hot too late, for the vital spark had been extinguished by suffocation.
