RESCUE OF MAURICE DELAY FROM A SHERIFF'S OFFICER..--A Sheriff's officer, named Levi, appeared to complain before the Magistrates this morning of four per sona, named Brown, Reeve, Sankley, and Martishaw, who, he stated, had rescued Maurice Delay, the pugilist, from his custody on Saturday last, at the Crooked Billet public-house, near Temple Bar. He stated that he had with Lee, his assistant, watched Maurice Delay from ano ther into the above public-house, where he captured him. Maurice however wish, 1 him to go to another house, where he had a friend who would pay the debt and costs ; to this complainant would not agree, but consented to stop till he sent for his friend there. Maurice sent for a person named Ward, who left the house, and shortly afterwards returned with several. other persons, who shook hands with Delay, and remained there for some time, se veral of them saying " I wish you may get it, Maurice, you are not going to night." The defendants now present were all there. Complainant then heard his man Lee, who was outside, call out " murder," and immediately collared Maurice, who struck him, and on his drawing out his staff knocked him down and escaped. All the defendants were assistfru , ' more or less in his escape. Brown an d R ee ve collared him, and the two others were upon Lee ; he then called his wan Lee, Themes Thomas, a watchman, and Cuthbert the landlord, who corroborated some parts of his statement; Cuthbert however said that no person assisted Delay, who doubled Levi up like a piece of paper, and jumping over hint rushed out of the door. He said that they were friends of Delay's, who mostly visited the Sol's Arms, and who, he had no doubt, had come to his house for the purpose, ex cept Sankey. Levi seemed in fear of his own prisoner, and i stopped in the house with him two or three hours. Brown said, in defence, that he was a jeweller, and knew nothing of Delay, more than having known him to be a pugilist. He had nothing to do with the fray. Sankey stated that he knew Delay on the same .footing ; that he was a farmer from Worcestershire, and was going to leave town by coach, when taken at the Sul's Arms, with the other defendants. They had been visited wse i n iul t ti h inb e at gy w iyLeg ch vai‘:.e h w o h u hi se so so liy a personwho llairree,dt2osclo.:naps o he po ned r wti tes dri s el ed'to have dotool. get out be en sent ( s e e .o l f such a scrape at any price, having respectable friends in' town, whom he did not wish to hear of it. He neither knew the name or address of the person to whom he gave his money. The night constable said he saw 25/. given by Sankey to the person whom lie called his friend ; he did not know what they were doing, but insisted on taking the number of the notes. Sankey was instantly bailed, and the others were com mitted in default thereof; the Magistrates expressing their astonishment at .the easiness with which Sankey patted with his money. SECOND VISIT OF THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. At ten minutes past two, p.m. on Thursday, his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, accompa nied by Col. Wood, M.P. for Brecknockshire, , Capt. S. J. B. Pechell, and the Hon. Capt. Spencer, his Secretary, arrived at the Admiral's House, Mount Wise, in two carriages and four, having come by land from Portsmouth for the purpose of presenting the Royal Marines with their new colours. After a short audience with Admiral the Earl of Northesk, our Commander-iii-Chief, and the different Captains of the Fleet, his Royal Highness,. with these officer: in attendance, embarked in the Admiral's Barge, under a salute of 19 pas, from the forts and.ship ping, for Commissioner Shield's Yacht, in which he intended to visit the Genoa, from Navarro, then lay ing in the Sdund. The - Yacht, after receiving his Royal Highness, got under weigh, taking in tow the barges of the _different men-of-war in commission, with their Captains, but on at tempting to pass Cremil Point, the wind, which was before blowing strong, suddenly died away, and the flood tide making fast into the harbour, she reel ed and stuck on a sunken rock, a little to the west of the German Rock, where not being likely soon to get off, his Royal Highness again moved into the barge, and proceeded on board the Genoa, where he was received with the customary honours, and re mainetlon board nearly ari' hOur and an ball. After inspecting her state, and expressing a kindly interest in the welfare of her surviving officers and crew, his Royal Highness returned to the Admiral's house at fire.o'clock, landing at the Royal Clarence Baths, Richmond Walk. At seven the Earl of Northesk entertained his Royal Highness, and a distinguished pally, at dinner. The . yacht was afterwards got off the rocks.

Th . e . ground was kept by the Devonport Yeomanry Ca valry, under the command of Captain Tink. The Lord High Admiral walked down .the line, attended by a number of military and naval Officers, the troops presenting arms. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, no evolutions took place, nor did the troops fire a feu de joie, as intended. On the word of command from Sir John Cameron, the troops formed into a three-sided hollow, the opening being to the west, the -colour-guard then formed a hollow square , the centre of which - was almost im mediately entered by his Royal Highness, where, surrounded by field officers, the Lord High Admiral addressed Colonel Vinicombe in an animated speech of an hour and a half in duration, occasionally refer ring to some written notes which he held in his hand. During the delivery of this speech it rained inces santly, and occasionally with great -violence. His Royal Highness was not, however, in th e blast dis concerted, but proceeded in a firm and manly tone of voice to the end of his oration, when the new colours, which were held by . Colonel Anderson Morshead, of the Royal Engineers. and Colonel Bainbridge, Deputy Assistant Quarter-master Ge neral, were p res ented in due form.—Devonport Telegraph. The LoRD CHANCELLOR sat at half past one o'clock in his room to-day at Lincoln's Inn Hall, to hear a tingle ease in private. The public were flat admitted, nor any public business done. The Court has adjourned till the 10th of next raonth. DIED.--On the 18th inst., at Gravesend, after a lingering illness, Miss Maar PATON, deeply lamented by a numerous circle of friends. She was a cousin of Miss PATON, and sister of Mr. WALTER PATON, the eminent ornamental writer, of Devonshire-street, Port land-place. We had said our say relative to the Bishop of CHESTER'S extraordinary accusation against the Bishop of NORWICH for ordaining Mr. PURDON without a title; but we have ascertained that the Bishop of CHESTER did not long ago send his own cousin to the Bishop of Nonwrcu, with a reque st that he would ordain him, though he bad no title. Facts are atabb93'p :..,s,4odpi THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.) • CORN-EXCHANGE. During the greater part of last week the wind was so boisterous and contrary, that vessels could not get up the river, the report of arrivals is in consequence small. This morning the quantity of Corn fresh up is moderate. The market to-day has been very.dull, and there will be no busi ness done to-morrow. Wheat continues as last quoted. Barley is again reposted Is. per quarter lower. Beans are so damp at present, that they alsO may be purchased cheaper. Pease are dull, but unaltered in value. Oats are reported at the same prices as on this gay se'nnight. The Flour trade is dull—Most of the letters from the country report a general dullness in nearly every article in the Corn trade, owing to the mildness of the season.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.—Dec. 22. Our Market was much thronged by strangers to-day, but the show of Wheat was small, especially that of fine quality, and the inferior samples being offered low kept the trade dull. We have not much doing in Grinding Barley. —The great consumption of Oats for provender keeps the stock low; therefore the price of this article is fully as high as on this day week. There is very little doing in Boiling Pease, and Beans are more plentiful than of late, conse quently not so ready sale. Having had a more liberal supply of Malt in course of the present week than for the last two months past, with many maltsters at market, that article is nut so ready wile, even at a reduction of Is. per load. We continue to have a moderate demand for Flour; but a great deal being made from soft. Wheat, some sellers were in the m ar k e t at several Shillings per sack below the currency subjoined. Oatmeal remains in price as on this day week. Customary Bushel. Wheat (701 b.) s. d. to s. d.

AGGREGATE MEETING or THE CATHO LICS OF IRRLAND.—A meeting, numerously a tt en d e d, was held on Wednesday last, in the Church of St. Theresa , Clarendon- street , Dublin, at which it was r eso l ve d to en trust the C at h o li c Petition to the Marquis of L aNsno wrlE and Sir PnAricis Buansrr. An amendm ent was pro posed by Mr. LAWLESS, to the effect, that if their petitions were rejected, the Catholics should make common cause, INQUEST on the BODY of MR. GRAHAM. (From the New York Gazette of Dec. 1.) THE LATE DUEL. The body of 111 r Graham was privately buried in' St. Mark's Church-yard; but was on Thursday taken up, and brought to the Alms' House, for the purpose of holding a Coroner's Inquest upon it.. Mr. Barton is a son of the late celebrated Dr. Barton, of Philadelphia. We understand he left town on Thursday morning. The Coroner's Inquest was hell yesterday at 12 o'clock precisely. John T. Boyd was a friend and a distant connec tion of the deceased, and knew the body to be that of William G. Grahatn. Heard of his death about eleven o'clock on Wednesday, morning, and was in formed that he fell in a duel, and that the body had been brought over to the French Tan Yards; he went thither, and sought in vain for it ; was after wards told, that if he would be at a certain place in Hudson-street, early in the evening, he would meet a hearse, which was conveying his body; went, and after some trouble, met a hearse 'above the place pf Samuel Boyd; he accompanied the body to the tavern on the Bloomingdale Road, where it was left during the night. Witness felt deeply on the subject, and wished to have a funeral service performed, for which purpose the Rev. Mr. Creighton was applied to; but the circumstances of, his death being intimated to him, he declined officiating, but said he would not op pose his being interred in the church-yard of St. Mark's. The body was interred the next morning. John L. Dillon, undertaker, was applied to by Dr. Pennell, on Wednesday, to provide a coffin .and shroud for a deceased friend, who had died in the neighbourhood of the tavern of Mr. Richaud, on the Bloomingdale-road. Was requested to go thither, give Dr. Pennell's compliments, and request a room for a corpse during the night. Mr. R. gave his con sent, but said he hopedlall was right. Witness was instructed to go to the French Tan Yards early in the evening, with a hearse for the body; was to meet Dr. Pennell on his way, in his gig, but missed him, and was shown to the French Tan Yards by a stranger; inquired for a dead body, and was directed to the house of a sick man, who was not dead; after wards found Dr. Pennell's gig, and went into the right house, took the body, and conVeyeil it to the house of Mr. R. He there saw Mr. Boyd and a few others. Mr. boyd directed the arrangements for the funeral ; requested him to go to Mr. Creigh ton, &c. Mr. B. said he wished to have every thing done decently, and witness provided four car riages for the funeral, the next morning, by his order. Dr. Francis testified that, with Dr. Anderson, he examined the body this morning ; there was no abra sion of the back or front part of the body, except that on the right side of the anterior part, there was a bole two inches in an oblique direction above the navel. There was a great collection of blood in the abdomen; the ilium and duodenum were cut through and wounded; the ball passed out four inches from the spine, on the back flap of the liver and mesen teric glands; the wound was undoubtedly the cause of death; wounds of the intestines are generally fatal; the large blood vessels had escaped. An officer was sworn, who said he had made dili gent search to find Lewis Asbury, W. M'Leod, and Dr. R. Pennell .(the two former having been the supposed seconds, the latter surgeon on the occasion) yesterday and this morning, but in vain. The following. certificate from the Doctor to the sexton was produced :—" I hereby certify that Wil liam Graham, aged 34 years, died on. the 25th inst; vulnus, R. Pennell, New York, Nov. 29, 1827." The Coroner said they had no evidence fixing the blame on any one. There were two alternatives—= to adjourn for • a week or less, and strive to obtain more information, or to find that the deceased died by a gun-shot wound, which is all that is proved.— The room was then cleared, and we understand that the. Jury have found a verdict, that he came to his death by a gunshot wound, inflicted by some person or persons unknown.—Coniierciai. • The Enquirer of yesterday contains the following letter, written by Mr. Graham the night previous to the fatal reneontre " Eleven o'Clock. " DEAR lll—What may be the result of the unhappy rencontre which is to take place in the morning between Mr. Barton and myself, cannot of course, be predicted by me. In the supposition that it will befatal, I bid you fare well, in the -only language that is now left to me. lam perfectly indifferent as to myself, but I trust most earnestly that Mr. Barton (towards whom I have not the faintest enmity of any kind) may escape. • I admit that lam in the wrong-.--that by giving him a blow, I have forced him into the condition of a challenger; and that by not doing what he has, he would have blasted his charaCter as a gen tleman for ever. In common justice, lam bound thus to absolve him from all suspicion of unbecoming conduct, re specting the challenge. The provocation, though slight, was still a provocation, which I could not overlook. It is ont of the question for me to explain, retract, or apologise. I will not hear of any settlement Short of some abject and craven submission from him. " Mr. Barton is a talking man, who dwells very com placently on his own skill as a marksman ; on his experi ence as a duelist, and on his accuracy as a person of ton. I pretend to none of these, and therefore must oppose the most inflexible obstinacy. After be is perfretly satisfied, I may, perhaps, apologise.—that is, in case I am fatally wounded. It is needless for sue to say, I heartily detest and despise this absurd mode of settling disputes, and salv ing the wounds of honour. But what can a poor devil do except bow to the supremacy of custom " God bless you, ,4 W. G. GRAHAM." Mr. Graham's remains were again privately e interred, a' four o'clock yesterday afternoon, in St. Mark's Church. yard. It is not so much with the view of giving the causes which led to the fatal meeting, or to exhibit the Valour and weakness of the man, that we publish the above letter.— We do it to Show that it was no political quarrel—no ren eontre growing out of his relationship with our paper—it was wholly a private affair of his own, and with a friend with whom we have seen him on terms of the most cordial intercourse. Mr. Graham was born in Catskil, and was a student at law, with the late Barent Gardeneir. At a very early pe riod he threw himself upon the world, and with a Quix otic spirit, went to sea, and soon found himself in London with Out money sr friends. Holding a ready and sprightly pen, he wrote some article in a newspaper, which excited the attention of a gentleman of fortune, who inquired for the author, and found him a youth of 17. Pleased with his appearance and address, lie took him home, and shortly afterwards sent him to Cambridge, where he completed his studies, and his patron dying (the late Mr. Purdon), left him a handsome fortune. With this property Mr. Graham travelled on the Con tinent, made himself master of the living, as he was of the dead languages—was a close observer of every thing relat ing to politics, arts, science, and literature, and participated in all the amusements and attractions of the most polished Courts. Returning to London, and finding his means decreasing, he sold an annuity of 8001. sterling per annum for a sum which he invested in some of the Joint Stock Companies, and lost. He then attached himself to a newspaper, either as a writer or Parliamentary reporter, and finally he left England, and arrived in his native country as poor as when he left it. A short time after his arrival he engaged to assist us in, our editorial labours, which be continued to do until the day of his death. Mr. Graham was in every respect an able writer;-fitil of wit and repartee; his memory was exceedingly g*,' and he rarely forgot anything that he had once learnei. With the literature and the literary writers of the day lip was perfectly familiar ; and the sound education he had received gave him undoubted claims to the character of a' ripe scholar. He was, however, deficient in judgment; he saw things through false lights, and did not readily fore-: go his opinions to adopt the opinions of others. He could execute better than he could design ; he embodied the thoughts of others in language at once chaste, perspicuous. • • elegant, and With the politics of the country and the divisions of party he took but little interest, except to launch an occasional sarcasm against these who opposed the side be professed to take. It may be said he fell -a victim to what has been called " Good Society." .No man could entertain a . more sovereign eontempt for the pretenders, whop without any qua lifi c ations but wealth,' presumed to telt the lead in the classification of distinct, orders. Against such he directed the artillery of his able pen, and the most caustic numbers of those articles on Good Sobiety, published in the , " Enquirer," were his production. Nevertheless, he was attached to the society of a class known here as men of fashion, and probably wealth. Ac customed to fishionable society in Europe, having expended his fortune with such, he could not, in this country, and under different circumstances, forego their company. With a home at once comfortable and respectable ; with means to make any appearance ; with all the places of amusement gratuitously open to him ; and employment which never occupied more than two hours each day ; and with pros pects of the most satisfactory character, he nevertheless clung to the society of young men of the tpn. lie was a desirable table componion ; his wit was ready and spark ling ; his address easy and gentlemanly; his society of course was courted, and he was a welcome guest at dinner Indies, among the gay and convivial. It may be readily imagined, that in a large city, where he was well known, opportunities frequently occurred to bring him to the fes tive board. In this society, and probably excited by the occasion, lie returned a blow, doubtless to some slight pro vocation, which has cost him his life. What a lesson does this inculcate. It is not our intention to write a homily on duelling. We never believed that it settled any point of honour— the aggressor frequently is the victor ; and if victory perches upon the injured, what gratification can it afford a truly honourable, moral, feeling man to know, that he has sent a fellow-creature to the grave, " unnannealed and unanointed r • A man makes use of a contemptuous ex pression—he repeats it upon being called upon for an explanation— a blow follows—a duel ensues, and chance or skill sends one of the parties to the tomb.. If duels must be fought—if human blood must be shed —and that the fiat of the Almighty be disregarded, let it, at least, be for cause, and such a cause as shall show a deep and deadly injury; but upon every paltry occasion to re sort to the pistol, under mistaken and ridiculous notions of honour, is at once absurd and contemptuous, and should be put down by some effectual expression of public opinion. We have a word to say about what are called seconds.— Why are gentlemen so willing to act when called upon ? Why not take some steps to arrest duels predicated upon trifling causes ? We leave them to answer the question ;, we leave it to the laws.—New York Evening Post...

We have the pleasure of laying before our rea ders this day, a very accurate description of Mr. Buratall's steam carriage, which we hope shortly W see travelling in full career upon our roads. Mr, Burstall has made material alterations in his plan since we described his coach tiro years ago : and with the view of getting a correct idea of the actual Working of the machine at a moderate expense, he has constructed the model coach which is exhibited in the Waterloo Rooms. The model coach is upon a scale of three inches to the foot, or one-fourth linear measure, of the size of the full machine. As this proportion is accurately preserved in all the parts,the model not only exhibits a faithful repre sentation of the carriage to be used on the roads, but affords a measure of ite'performance, though net of course a very correct one, .because models are scarcely ever so carefully made as machines of a fUll size, and are generally liable to a much greater waste of power. • The coach is exactly of the common form, and carries six inside and twelve outside pes,:engers, but it has an additional pair of wheels behind for sup porting the boiler. The length of the model is Si feet, its height 22 inches; the length o f the fall sized coach, with its engine, will be 22 feet ; its height 7 feet 4 inches. The steersman or driver sits on front, aid, by. turning a circular horizontal plate, gives the first pair • of wheels a direction to the right or the left, as in a common coach, when the bends of the road require it. The boiler is sup ported by an iron frame, extending from the second to the third pair of . wheels. It is shaped like a bee hive or cone, and will be about 41 feet high in the full machine, exclusive of the chimney. The fire is in the middle, and the water and steam on the outside. The engine is on the high-pressure principle ; and the boiler, which is of copper, is made strong enough to bear a pressure of 300 pounds on the inch, though it is intended to work with only 25 pounds. Two cylinders are employed, as in ships. They occupy the hind boot, resting exactly ou the axle of the middle wheels; and in the model are three inches in diameter, with a stroke of three inches. The cistern is below. The engine pumps up water for itself, which passes from the cistern by a pipe; another pipe conveys the steam to the cylinders; a third pipe carries off the waste steam from the cylinders into the chimney, from which, being expanded by the heat, it escapes invisibly. The engine when worked. with steam of 25 pounds, will be of whole often horse power in the full-sized carriage, turd ti weight of the engine and carriage, with the cLarge of fuel and water, will be about three tons.: We saw the model carriage at work on Saturday last.—lt travelled round a circle of 17 feet diameter, on an uneven deal floor, with a speed equal to seven 1 , or eight miles an hour. It carried no' load, but this was of little consequence, because, in point of fact, the weight of the machine itself, with its fuel and water, is so great, that a full assortment of passengers makes but an' inconsiderable addition to it. At .the Waterloo Rooms it will be exhibited with a load equivalent to the weight of eighteen passengers. We need not inform persons skilled in mechanics, that , the mode adopted of exhibiting its performance ne cessarily does it injustice; for the loss of power is unavoidably great when a machine - like this, with six wheels, travels in a circle, the diameter of which is only three or four times its own length. Mr. Burstall has avoided one error into which Mr. Gurney seems to us to have fallen. The boiler, which forms so great a part of the entire weight, is placed near the ground, and the cistern being under the axle of the middle wheels, the centre of gravity of the whole machine is thus kept much lower than in Mr. Gurney's, which must contribute greatly to the stability and safety of the vehicle. The steam coach will travel by stages like the vehicles now in use ; she will require to stop about once an hour, to renew her supply of water and fuel; but a very few minutes will suffice for the operation. With regard to, the danger attending the use of steam coaches, our own impression is, that it will be smaller than what attaches to our present modes of conveyance. If nothing less than a speed of eight or ten miles an hour will serve us, we must_be dragged by horses, which have a good deal of blood in them ' • and such horses will now and then have their freaks, and set the skill and prudence of the driver at defiance. But the steam power, if the ap . paratus is rightly constructed, has no will of its own, but will always be amenable to the hand of the j steersman. With proper precautions, the danger of explosion may be entirely obviated. It may either be wholly prevented, or so regulated that' if it does occu.is it shall operate in a direction which will injure nobody. Steam coaches, when once introduced, will probably have this further advantage, that, upon good roads, the velocity we shall be able to command will have no other limits than such as are prescribed by the danger of the vehicle or machinery flying to pieces. The rate of sailing in steam-boats has al ready been carried beyond what some clever men considered as its natural limits. In calm ,water twelve miles an hour are now frequently attained in this country. The Americans, who are a nation of travellers, and will have rapid motion at all risks, even go, a good deal beyond this. We conversed with a gentleman from the United States a few days ago, who recently arrived here, and he assures us, that the newest steam boats navigating the Hudson, perform the voyage from New York to Albany, 160 miles, in the incredibly' short period of 10f 'hours.. Of about four hundred steam-boats, plying on' the rivers and coasts of the United States, a great ma jority, probably two-thirds of the whole, have high pressure engines. Yet accidents are rare, and per sons of all classes travel in them with confidence. We do not take upon us to pronounce as to the final success of Messrs. Burstall and Hill's attempt- We have little doubt that a steam-coach capable of travelling will soon be constructed, and we think they have as fair a chance to succeed as any of their competitors. But the task of making a machine that shall have sufficient motive power to carry a ton or a ton and a half besides its own weight, and to encounter all the inequalities of declivity and surface occurring in our common toads; that shall also work steadily amidst the incessant shaking and jolting prod trials uceds in b w y fe a i l s aur ree,.. rapid h oviur. r ee n vodetori not t , oht involv t es e my tdh a jaffi n tenu d elat i el nearly are r superable,i cs for which m,e allowance shall h nl not o t despairm ust bobaufeni of building ehraieagemvd even naviga tion improve ment, Poi third m r , Miller's I n t y t er , e:ts tl r i sb o o u ae g lt h aapns fi ed r first, anti be e a t n lv d een second,th e introduction into common use, during all w hich time the Opinion of superficial observers was, that steam na vigation had been brought to the test of experiment and found impracticable.—Seolsnian.
