With such testimony from a man of the honour able mind of Lord GODERICH, and who, from his long knowledge and close connection in official business with Mr. HERRIES, must be perfectly aware of every circumstance relating to him, that Right Hon. Gentleman may be perfectly regard less of the imputations attempted to be cast upon his character by the writer in the Chronicle. The public will weigh the accusation and the refuta tion, and will do justice to his injured feelings. To those who are personally acquainted with the honourable character of Mr. HERRIES, and his unsullied purity in every transaction of his life, the shaft which has been aimed at his re putation, will fall innocuous; and those who know him only by his services, but are aware that the fidelity and ability pith which he has executed the duties of the several important stations he has filled have been the only causes of his dis tinguished advancement in life, will despise the slanderer rather than believe the slander. Something further, however, is still due to Mr. REnittEs, and we call upon the calumniator of his fair fame to come forward, and to avow the authority on which he made his base insinua tions. A public Journalist acts most unwar rantably in putting forth a charge which affects th e honour and character of any man in public or private life, unless he possesses himself, or has received from a known and creditable source, the most undoubted proofs of the correctness of the accusation, and the Chronicle must stand con victed of malice and falsehood, unless by publish ing its authority for the imputation conveyed in its leading article yesterday, it affords to Mr. llERitas and the public the means of exposing the slanderer and the baseness of his motive. The attention which his Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL pays to the individual claims of officers belonging to the naval service, does not less merit the approving vclice of the country, than the zealous and devoted assiduity with which he executes the general duties of his high office. The Gazette of last night contains another instance of his Royal Highness's gracious con sideration of personal claims. It will be ob served that Rear-Admiral RICHARD DACRES, who had been placed on the retired list, has been Promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral of the Red, and placed in the situation on the list of Fl ag Officers of his Majesty's Fleet which he would have occupied had he not been passed over. The circumstances under which Admiral .33 A-croks had originally passed his flag, while .Governor of tht: Naval Asylum, and subse quently, on his resigning that appointment, had been placed on the retired list, arc known to e',ery person connected with the naval service; and as this Officer had served long, and with high credit as Captain, while in command of several of his Majesty's ships, his brother offic&s and the service at large will cordially rejoice at seeing him, by the justice and kind feelings of his Royal Highness, placed on the active list of Flag Officers, according to his original seniority as a Captain. Such acts as these will endear the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL to the service over which he presides, and will acquire for him an imperish able fame for justice and benevolence. The following are extracts from the Nurein 6urg Correspondent of the 17th instant, and Frankfort papers of the 18th, received this Morning : NUREMBURG, AUG. 16. MI Majesty the King of Bavaria issued, on the 27th (1)1 Alay last, an edict to the following effect : " As we have too frequently observed with regret that the ancient monuments of architecture, sculpture, &c., dis persed in our kingdom are not duly attended to by the pub lic authorities, and that many remains of former ages, va luable as monuments of history or of the arts, arc destroyed or neglected, and as we consider the preservation of such monuments to be highly important for keeping alive a na tional spirit, for assisting the study - of the history of the kingdom, and for promoting a knowledge of it among the people, we hereby command our Minister of the Interior to declare this our will to all the Governments of the Circles, and to enjoin them— .

DRESDEN, AUG. 12. An Association has been formed in this capital, which has published ft notice, from which the following are ex tracts :-- ( "Ile Saxons des i red to erect a monu ment to their be, loved Monarch, when they celebrated the 50th anniversary I bis Government.

" The King also earnestly desires the execution of this project, and has generously promised to grant whatever may facilitate it." The Association agreed, at their first meeting, that it would not be sufficient merely to erect a statue to lis Ma jesty ; but that it would be more suitable to the object of the Association to enlarge or to found charitable institutions, as the most appropriate tribute to the memory of I. Sove reign so distinguished by his Christian beneficence. The Association proposes a general subscription is every town, village, and parish in the kingdom. where books shall be opened, in which every one may inscribe his vo luntary contribution. Every stun, large or mad, from the mite of the widow to the gold of the opulent, will be of equal estimation for such a monument. The notice is signed by the Baron de Manteuffel. The Gazette of last night contains the re appointment of the Duke of WELLINGTON as Commander-in-Chief. There is not a man in the country who will not rejoice to find that his Grace is replaced in his proper post; and, dis approving, as we have done, of his Grace's conduct as a Minister on a recent occasion, we are, nevertheless, foremost to express our satis faction at his being again at the head of the British Army, and to congratulate the country on this event. The nation will duly appreciate his INIAJETY'S judgment in recalling the Duke of WELLINGTON to the station in which his ser vices can be most beneficial to his country. The remainder of the Russian Squadron, under Admiral SINIAVIN, sailed yesterday from Spithead to the eastward, on their return to Cronstadt. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The British securities have evinced a greater degree of firmness this morning than they have for several days exhibited, and the market seems to be in a better state. Console, after the hours of busi ness, were done at 86i, and had the appearance of great depression ; this morning, however, they opened at 86k, at which price the first bargain of 30,0001. was effected for money, after going to 86 ; they then gradually went up to 86k, and may be quoted now at 86i for the 29th, and 87, buyers, for October account ; the continuation to next account is 5-16ths to -R per cent. ; there is no alteration in the premium on India Bonds or Ex chequer Bills, the former being 88 90, the latter 57 8 pm. In the Foreign Funds there has been but little business; Mexican Bonds are quoted at 66! i; Colombian, 30; Brazilian, 66i; the next arrivals from this quarter continue to be looked for with much anxiety, both as relate to the war with Buenos Ayres and the reported intention of Don Pedro to visit Portugal; and if lie should carry this latter into execution, it is the opinion of many well qualified to form a judgment, that it may prove rather hazardous to the safety of his power in, the Brazils, among whose population there are num bers of active partizans hostile to his government, particularly in the northern provinces. Russian are 96, Portuguese 75, and Danish have receded to 62. In Shares, the only novelty is a small improve ment in Real del Monte, the dividend on which is reduced to 30 15 premium. Three per Cent.

The air is lively, with a dash of tenderness about it, just sufficient to render it interesting. HANIBURGH, AUG. 17.—We had onl) two ships at the Greenland fishery this year—the Young Martin, Captain Carl, and the Anna Elizabeth, Captain Harmsen. They are both returned, the former with 2,000 seals, and the latter with two fish and 233 seals. The Osage savages of Missouri are not the only North Americans who have subscribed for the medal struck in honour of Mr. Canning. A Journal informs us, that Mr. Hurtado, Charge d'Affaires of the Mexican Re public, is amongst the number of the subscribers. Quo tidienne.

THE HARV ES T.—The weather which was very unfavourable during the last week has since become remarkably fine, and the gather ing . o f . the ha rves t i s pro ceeding rapidly. The limn? rams which hav e f a ll en h ave not, we believe, done any material injury to the standing corn, or that which is cut. The crops of wheat and oats in this neighbourhood are uncommonly fine. We have received similar accounts from other parts of the country, an ,l there can be no doubt, that if we are favoured with a short period of fine weather, all fears as to the result of the harvest will be allayed.— Stockport Advertiser. The following melancholy occurrence took place at Bury a few days ago. Mr. Joseph Mason, of Orerfields, perceiving that his house was infested with rats, had laid poison under a chest of drawers in one of the chambers. The poison was arsenic, mixed with oatmeal. In the course of the day Mr. Masen's children went to play in this chamber ; and discovering the poisonous mixture on the floor, which they took for pure meal, they gathered up and ate as much of it as th ey could. They were soon v i o l ent l y attacked with sickness ; and though the unhappy parents . procured prompt medical assistance, th ey h a d th e pain of seeing two of their little innocents expire before the follow ing morning. These were two boys o f t h e ages o f t h ree and four years ; another child was for some time considered to be in danger, but is now thought likely to survive,— Blackburn Mail. NAVAL DISPATCH. SIR—Be pleased to insert the followin g in your Paper—it being the most valuable for the information of naval men : The spirit and exertions of the naval service begin again to show themselves conspicuous under the able arrangements of the Lord High Admiral, which must be flattering to him. Orders only went down on Tuesday for H.M.S. Wellesley, 74., Captain Maitland, C.B. guard-ship, to proceed to sea; and, though only manned on the peace establishment, she was anchored at Spithead and ready for sea in 48 hours from the time she received the orders, and in beautiful order. She sails on Sunday, taking the Warspite under her orders, for Lisbon. JACK TAR. WINDSOR, AUG. 24.—Yesterday the fol lowing personages arrived at the Royal Lodge, by invita tion, on a visit to the KING :—Prince and Princess LIE YEN, Prince ESTERIIAZY, the Duke of DEYONSIIIRE, Earl and Countess of CARLISLE, Earl and Countess COWPER, Lord FORDWICII, Lady EMILY COWPER, and Earl of CLANWILLIAM ; the whole of whom had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MAJESTY. The King's private band were in attendance, and played until eleven o'clock, the hour at which his MAJESTY retires. This day, at half-past one o'clock, the King's phaeton, with three others, together with the dourisky, and an open car riage, were in readiness at the Royal Lodge, when his MAJESTY, accompanied by Prince ESTEEM AZY, entered his phaeton, and proceeded from the Royal Lodge to Cum berland Lodge, the whole of the distinguished visitors, to gether with the King's principal attendants, followed in the other phaetons, &c. At Cumberland Lodge the visitors alighted from their carriages, to inspect the Cameleopard. After which the whole of the Royal party proceeded to Virginia Water, where they embarked on board the new frigate. A sumptuous dinner was to be in readiness in the Royal Marquee, at five o'clock. The King's private baud was likewise ordered to be in attendance. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Viscount DUDLEY, Viscount PALMERSTON, Mr. WYNN, and Mr. CHARLES GRANT, visited Viscount Gonßawl! yesterday. Count d'OFA LiA, the Spanish Minister, who has lately arrived in this country, on a Special Mission from the King of SPAIN, had a long conference yesterday with Viscount DUDLEY, at the Office of tha Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Marquis de PALNELLA, the PORTUGUESE Minister, also transacted business with the Noble Viscount. Letters were received in town yesterday, from Mr. Husxissox ; the letters were dated from Paris. The Right Honourable Gentleman, it is expected, will reach town on Monday. ELOPEMENT.—An elopement which has caused the greatest surprise in the towns of Wells and Taunton, and which from the secret and romantic manner in which it was conducted, and the complete success with which it was attended, rivals the fictions of our best no velists, took place at one o'clock on Friday morning. The lady was the only child of a gentleman of fortune, and the fortunate and favoured lover the fourth son of another re spectable gentleman. Secure in the favour of the fair ob ject of his wishes, the happy lover posted from London, and hovered near the spot which contained his destined bride, till the wished for moment arrived, when in the still hour of night, " The bell then beating one," attended by a gallant Captain, a faithful friend, he placed himself be, neath the lady's window...-the concerted signal was given and answered—the ladder placed to the V 4 all, the lady ap peared, and descended safely into the lover's arms, was sup ported by him to a chaise and four in waiting near the spot, and " They are off—they are gone, over hedge, bush, and bar, " They 'll have swift steeds that follow, quoth young Lochinvar." One moment only of anxious suspense attended their night when the lady descended from the window, and, at the very instant of departure, a Welch gentleman who was at tached to the lady, but who had been rejected, returning from a party "hot with the Tuscan grape," passed the flying lovers, ; but he gazed only at the window, sighed, and warbled " Cherry ripe." 111-fated swain, while his passion was thus blighted in the bud. Thus disappointed, the Welch gentleman, in a rage, like Roderigo, flew to the father's door, and alarmed the house, when all Taunton was in an uproar. A chaise and four was immediately dispatched in pursuit, containing three gentlemen, one of whom was the unfortunate Welch man. The happy couple reached London in safety, and were immediately married in the presence of a mutual friend, who had_ pre pared for their arrival. HORNCASTLE, AVG. 21.—Our fair, which has terminated this day, has been hut indifferently supplied with fat beasts, which sold at 6s. to 7s. a stone ; store beasts were not numerous, hut sold heavily. Though the day has been fine, there is little appearance of a pleasure fair. Since Thursday morning, the 16th, several consider able sales have been effected in cart and hackney horses, which have been in tolerable demand, though the prices are certainly lower. If this fair has not been so good to the sellers as some previous ones, it has certainly been more beneficial to the trade of the town than the last was. The stale trick of peppering has been played off in one instance with success. On Saturday two men, apparently in dis pute about the price of a horse, attracted the attention of a farmer passing by; he who seemed anxious to purchase soon whispered into the car of the looker-on, that if the horse could be bought for 101. he would give him ] Os. for his trouble ; the farmer very readily interposed, and had no great difficulty in procuring the nag at the price ; but, after paying the money, he looked about in vain for his customer. After challenging one or two of the by standers, he at length seized one fellow by the collar, de claring that he knew him by the colour of his coat ; here he was again unsuccessful, for the man immediately ex claimed, " Old Chap, he is not worth 108. ; don't you sec that be has got the glanders? Can you think me such a fool as to want that 'ere glandered beast ?" The disap pointed old farmer led the horse up and down for an hoar i afterwards, and was glad enough at last to dispose of it for 1 little more than a guinea.—Lincoln Mercury. CHINESE ADVERTISEMENT.—The follow ing is an advertisement extracted from a periodi cal paper published in Canton :—" I, Achen Teti Chinchen—a lineal descendant of Coap Boi Roche Chinchen, the celebrated sculptor and carver in wood, who, through his unremitted studies to promote rational religious worship, by the classical touches of his knife and chisel, has been honoured by the emperors, kings, and rajahs of the east, and supplied them with supc rior idols for public and domestic worship— now humbly offer my services in the same theo logical line, having travelled from hence at a considerable expense, to perfect myself in ana tomy, and in copying the most graceful attitudes of the human figure, under those able masters, Nollekins and Bacon.—Achen Teu Chinchen is now in possession of casts of the most ap proved models and Elgin marbles ; he is ready to execute to order, idols from twelve feet high, proportioned, d own t o th e s i ze o f a mar moset monkey, or the most hideous mon ster that , can be co nceived, to inspire awe or r everence for religion.

FISH-DIARKET, BILLINGSGATE. The arrivals of fish at Billingsgate this morning were exceedingly limited, and the market exhibited but a poor stock of any description. Saldon and Cod fish were the leading articles of the market, but the season for the former is fast approaching to a decline; they begin to have a grey speekled appearance, which is a proof of their being full of spawn, when they arc not allowed to be taken. . The arrivals decrease daily. The Perth and several other ex tensive Salmon fisheries close this day. Cod fish, which is just coming in, does not at present look very fine, but it may in a few days be expected excellent. The supply of Oysters was not great, a few boats only were in the market. There was little of any other sorts of fish worthy of notice. The following were the prices:— Prime Turbot, each los. Od. to 18s. Od.

BRANCH BANK OF ENGLAND.—The pre liminary arrangements for opening this establishment in Leeds, are just completed. The decks and toels are pre pared—the shovels for the gold, and the pressers for the paper, are provided—a large table and several portly chaire placed in the " sweating room," where customers are to be pumped of all their secrets--the whole bevy of Clerks from Threadneedle-street were transported here on Tuesday by coach—and the London gentleman who has to set the money-machine in motion, has arrived with his furniture, &c., at a large and comfortable house in Albion-street, from his residence in Manchester, where he had been per forming the same initiatory duty. How or when the 4‘ rags" and " brass" got down, wo have not heard, but they are certainly here, for this morning the house open• for business. From present appearances, the expellees of the speculation will be very considerable, and will, o; course, require the profits to be of a similar scale :—bu t as we believe the Branch here is as much a political as a pecuniary 'concern, and as the Bank of England has the Privilege of ,‘ ma king money" ad libitum, it is, perhaps, fortunately, a matter of indifference whether the project succeed or not. One thing at least is certain, that a more supererogatory or unpopular line of business was never opened in the town than this Branch of 4, the Old Lady." inteltigager. stirtif OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, A pamphlet has been sent to us from a quar ter described to be " A Tory, " and his work is called " A Remonstrance to the Right Hon. Robert Peel." The subject of this remonstrance being Mr. Peel's resignation, and refusal—if he did refuse—to join the Canning Ministry, we conceive the publication of the author's senti ments to come a few months too late ; and we are free to say, that considering with what tem per the Right Hon. Gentleman, so long Secre tary for the Home Department, demeaned him self since Mr. Canning's appointment, and how he countenanced, or used no influeiwe to pre vent, the furious and malignant, though imbecile, attacks of some of his immediate connections, not merely on Mr. Canning personally, but on that constitutional and upright principle which formed the link of union between the late Prime Minister and the Whigs, we cannot join the writer of the pamphlet in his expressions of com plaint or regret that Mr. Peel excluded himself from any share in a liberal, and to him an un congenial, Government. It matters little, to our apprehension, whether Mr. Peel's attempts at reforming some branches of the law of England were or were not stimulated (as the author avers) by envy of the respect and admiration enjoyed by Mr. Canning for the sake of his enlightened foreign policy. Every man must have a motive, and there are worse in the world than that of honest emulation. But upon the unwillingness of Mr. Peel to serve under a statesman so in comparably his superior as was Mr. Canning, after his plain confession to his Majesty, that on the narrow principle of Catholic exclusion he was himself unable to form one, there can be but a single opinion, and that an opinion by no means flattering to Mr. Peel. We see at least one subject of rejoicing in the continued im practicability of a Peel Administration—that is to say, an Administration at once incapable and narrow ; while the country makes advances so wonderful every day, in that knowledge which qualifies even the humblest of the industrious orders to forma iust estimate of men, and their capacities as public servants.--Times. The Committee of the Society for the Im provement of Prison Discipline, in their Seventh Report, have some excellent observat 11;0119 on the mischiefs resulting from the want of intiTe fre quent Gaol Deliveries. • " It will be in the re collection of many of our readers, that when - Howard was engaged in visiting the Prisons of Germany, the Emperor desired to see him. I have sent for you,' said the Monarch, to know your opinion on the state of the prisons in my dominions, and to desire that you will point out those rievances - which most urgently demand reform. Your Majesty (replied Howard) has, throughout your empire, prisoners who have been for two years immured in dungeons, awaiting their trial ; and should they be found innocent of the crimes laid to their charge, it is not in the power of your Majesty to make them reparation for the injuries they have sustained. With some abatement of its strength, might the same language be addressed to the Legislature of England. You have, in this country, gaols, w h o se inmates have been confined in cells, unfit for human habitation, for the space of twelve months before they have been brought to trial, and they have been eventually acquitted as inno cent of crime. You have torn them from their homes—vou have taken from their families the main pillars of their support—you have blasted their reputation—you have debased their mo rals—you have inflicted on them a greater pu nishment than that to which if, declared guilty, they would have been adjudged; and you dis charge them from your prisons ruined and de praved, bereft of the means of honest maintenance, to subsist upon the property, to disturb the order, and corrupt the morals of society: Would that this remonstrance, though but ideal, might be fol lowed by the success which attended Howard's appeal to the Emperor Joseph ! To the eternal honour of that great Monarch be it re corded, that he instantly caused a law to be enacted by which the grievance might be re dressed. « In the month of December, 1822, a Special Commission was issued for a third Assize throughout the Horne Circuit. The Assize has been continued every succeeding winter ; and the numbers liberated on these oc casions are the best evidence of the effee'ts of the excellence of the measure. From the official statements which have been published, it appears that nearly one-third of the annual commitments in this Circuit have been tried at the third Assize. The commitments for capital offences alone in 1824, on this Circuit, amounted to 1,109 ; and of these 363 were tried at the Winter Assize : these persons were conse quently saved the hardship of three months' im- Fisonment before trial. On reference to the Returns for the last seven years, it appears that, with the exception of London and Middlesex, the numbers committed for trial on the Home Circuit were in proportion to those committed on the other Circuits, as 13 , 056 to 63 , 280 , or about one fifth. If, therefore , the third Assize had been general for the last seven years, one proportion of three months' imprisonment. If the commitments on third of the latter number , or above 20,000 per sons, would on the other Circuits have been be butspared the a l o ia n r e dsl t i o fiipsavieid, this moral small injury the Home Circuit to those on the oth er Ci rcu it s shows that the interests of justice are deeply concerned in extending the benefits of a third gaol delivery throughout the kingdom.** —lt is surely high time to remedy so gross a defect as this. Committees of the House of Commons are busied in inquiries respecting the cause of the amazing increase of crime ; Judges on their Circuits deliver elo quent addresses to Grand Juries on the law of nature having in many parte of the country gained a mastery over the law of the land ; and yet this, the obvious cure for a considerable part of the evil—more General Gaol Deliveries—is delayed year after year, for no intelligible cause. Mr. Western obtained a third Assize for the Home Circuit, after much difficulty ; but, i n spite of the benefits with wh ich the experiment has been attended in the Home Counties, there seems no disposition to follow it up by corre sponding c han ges elsewhere. When it was pro posed some tim e ago to have additional Sessions at Salford, to clear more frequently the crowded Prisons of Manchester of their inmates, it was objected, we understand, by Mr. Peel, to the change, that were Sessions more frequent, it would not repay Barristers to attend them ; and that, without the check afforded by the presence of Barristers, the administration of provincial jus tice would be intolerable. It would thus appear our prisons are crowded with numbers who ought to be at large , be cause we have so wretched a description of Magistracy that they must be terrified into good conduct, like children. Ira fact, on the subject of the Game Laws, now ac. knowledged to be one of the main causes of the increase of crime and the commitments under ?VC>
