At old Cumnock, near which stands an ancient castle, called Terenzean, which gives the title of Baron to the Lords of Loudon, the noble party were met by a band of music, and the whole of the inhabitants of the town and neighbouring country. Here the Ayrshire Yeomanry Ca valry, commanded by Colonel Ferrier, joined, and escorted the Noble Marquis. Six miles farther on, at Mauchline, which gives the title of Viscount to the Earls of Loudon, there were barriers and, a triumphal arch erected, and here the Noble Marquis was requested by the Mauchline Lodge to become a Member, with which he graciously com plied, accepting an honorary diploma. Nine miles farther on, at Loudon Castle, the noble party were agreeably surprised by the appearance of the Kilmarnock Volunteers, commanded by Major Panther, drawn up in the park before the castle to receive them with a feu-de-joie. It is unnecessary to add, that the whole country was delighted with the return of this popular Noble man to the lands of his children's ancestors, where they have been Ch e ft a i ns s i nce th e e xpulsion of the omaris.—The Lord Leutenant and Convener of Ayrshire have called a Meet ing of the Nobility and Gentry, to suggest the best mode of shewing this Nobleman respect, by giving a public dinner on his return to the country.

ANTONIN U s trs.—Of this illustrious Personage, it is re corded, that in his youth he did not any thing rashly, nor in his age any thing negligently. It was one of his usual obser vations through life, that lie had rather save one subject's life than kill a thousand enemies! This excellent Prince issued an edict in favour of the Christians, that whosoever should accuse any one for becoming such, he should suffer the same punishment he intended to have brought upon the accused ! ( II irt.

A friend having called on the Doctor about the time the professorship was decided, to congratulate him on the birth of his son, in the usual phrase " wished him joy." The Doc tor being rather deaf and mistaking his meaning, having lost his election, replied rather peevishly, " I didn't get it—l-1 " didn't get it." LORD HOLLAND.—When this No'3lernan, the father of CHARLES Fox, was Secretary of State; a Gentleman who was very intimate with him recommended a friend to him, in order to reform the Customs, of whose probity, disinterestedness, and abilities, he spoke very highly. Lord H. listened to him for some time, and then drily said, that he had no time for experi ments. The Gentleman still pressing his suit, his Lordship replied, " Why, to speak plain, though I have no objection to your friend's abilities, this probity and disinterestedness won't do for me—l must always have a man under me as my engine, so as to make him do just what I please; but one of those very honest men you are describing are generally d—d impracticable fellows, and I'll have nothing to say to them." No man knew the world better than this Nobleman, or was more discerning in the choice of his agents. 41 .* A deceased old Gentleman left a considerable number of MSS. to the Editor of TELE Sox, which be will occasionally submit to the notice of its [traders. A PERSUAS:VE TEx.r.—When the Duke of ORMOND, wnose family name was Butler, went over as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the vessel was driven by stress of weather into the Isle of Man, where his Grace was hospitably entertained by the curate of the place, named Joseph. The pleasantness of his landlord induced thel Duke to inquire into his circum stances, and finding that they were but scanty, he promised to provide for him as soon as he should be settled in the Viceroy ship. Joseph waited many months in hopes of hearing from his patron, but being disappointed, he resolved to go over to Dublin to remind him of his promise. Despairing of gaining -access to the Duke, he waited upon Dean Swift, and asked his permission to preach at the Cathedral the next Sunday. The Dean, delighted with his conversation, gave his consent. The Lord Lieutenant with his Court were all at church, and sat opposite to the pulpit. None of them had any recollection of Joseph, till after naming his text, which was in Genesis, xl. 23, " Yet did not the chief Butler remember Joseph, but for got him." He made so pointed an allusion to the Duke, and his entertainment in the Isle of Man, that his features were recognized, and when the t•grnion was done, .he was invited to the castle, and a good living provided for him. Meerza Abdool Jawat one day shoWing me at least fifty very good English knives, which he had collected in a drawer, corn plained • that there was not one of them worth a farthing. I looked at them, saw they were of excellent makers, but had been ill used, and on inquiring the reason, "Ah !" said he " they are all bad, all cheats, not one of them can cut iron as they should do." " Cut iron," cried I, " who ever saw a knife that could cut iron ?" " What !" demanded he, " and have not you among you knives that can cut iron ?" " No, ' certainly," said I, " who could have told you so foolish a thing ?" " Look, then," said he again, " what lies are told ; hear the story that was related to us of you Feringhees. It was said that a certain man once came into the Court before your King's dewan khanch, and after saluting his Majesty, he of fered for sale a little penknife, which he said was of wonderful powers:. The King asked the price of it, and was told by the owner that it was '20,000 romanus. How,' said the King, do you dare to impose upon . your Sovereign in that way? Let him be punished on the spot.' Upon that the man went up to a large cannon that was lying in the court yard, and making a cut at it with his knife, almost divided it in two, exclaiming, after the feat, See there, 0 King ! mark if I told untruths concerning the value of my knife ; but now it never shall be yours.' With that he broke the blade, and. threw the pieces away, nor would he ever make another. But," added the Meerza' " although knives of such uncommon powers are not to be had, I always believed that the good English penknives were calculated to cut steel or iron, and you quite .astonish me when you inform Inc that this is not the case.' .—(Frazer': Sho rassau.) POOLE, AUG. I(l—This town was yesterday honoured by a visit from ano less illustrious personage than Lady BY RoN, who arrived here in her elegant yacht, the Prince . Leopold, from Portsmoiith. Lady BY RON is accompanied by her daughter, a most interesting child ; she possesses the same noble and open countenance which so strongly characterized her deceased parent, and we are fallibly reminded of that affectionate address to his Lady, in which his Lordship fondly observes, " Should her lineaments resemble Those thou never more may'st see, Then thy heart will softly tremble, With a pulse yet true to me." VAUXHALL.—Another grand Gala took place at these Gardens yesterday evening, in celebration of the natal anniversary of his Majesty, with whose patronage they are honoured. The illuminations combined all the variety of former Galas, but were heightened in splendour by a consider able increase in the number of lamps, whose brilliancy was diversified by numberless devices, consisting of flags, stars, national and Royal emblems, and the motto—" The King, our Patron's Natal Day." beautifully constructed at the bot tom of the Quadrangle. Th e festoons of light, and the illu minated grove with its magic fruit, imparted their aid towards rendering the effect of the scene in every respect interesting and imposing. The amusements terminated with an unusually superb exhibition of fire-works, and the ascent on the tight rope in the midst of them. Amongst the performances of the evening, Mr. Wilson's very clever rope-dancing excited gene ral admiration. The others were those which we have de scribed upon previous occasions. The gardens were crowded to excess. There could not be less than 10,000 individuals present. Mrs. ORGEIt has been performing with great success at Brighton. She played Portia for her Benefit at Brighton on Monday last ; and had a very numerous and fashionable audience. The afterpiece was the farce of P.

Beatrice made running, and kept the lead for nearly a mile, when Fair Charlotte came up and headed, closely pushed by Buzzard, until the turn of the angle at the top of the course, the others keeping, as the Yorkshire Sportsmen termed it, " all of a loom." Buzzard now got close to Fair Charlotte's heels, keeping close to the rails on the near side of them, and whilst Nelson was eyeing Equity, he quietly slipped by, and won the race, which was most beautifully and closely contested, by only half a head. Many persons near the Grand Stand, on the horses passing it, were positive that Fair Charlotte would and did win, and in consequence laid pounds, ponies, and hundreds at 20 to 1 on her, for which they paid dearly.

Mr. Gascoyne's Elizabeth - Six drawn. waived over The day was beautiful, and the great interest excited by the 30 sovereign stakes, which so greatly influences the future speculations on the St. Leger, brought a more numerous as semblage of grandees than on any of the preceding days. As soon as the races were over and the books netted, the depatures were very numerous amongst the nobs for grouse-shooting, which commences to-morrow (August 12), to Richmond, Pickering, Middleham, and the north and north-east of Yorkshire moors, It is said that the grouse are numerous and very strong on the wing. On the termination of the day's sport, the betting men congre gated, and a.great deal of conversation on the great race took place. Many were watching HoMer's coming in, as it was said that it would be " bellows to mend ;" but it was not BO ; he was all right, and only touched once with the whip, to which he instantly answered, and could have won the race if he had pleased more cleverly than he did. He has more the ap pearance of a stallion than a racer ; but is evidently capable of a deal of 'wear and tear. It is thought that both Crowcatcher and Escape lost greatly at the start. There was some very heavy betting this morning, and Homer immediately got up to 10 to 1. Crowcatcher was also named at 40 to 1, Escape land His Grace being out of the question. Cleveland re mains as before. It is said that there is more money depend ing on this hor4e's running for the St. Leger than was ever known on one horse ; full a million.

A well-dressed female going from Rowland Hill's Chapel to the New Cut, was knocked down by a gentleman riding at a sharp pace, and supposed to be dangerously hurt. The passengers crowded round the unlucky horseman, who In quired whether the lady was much injured ? " Oh, yes," said one of the mob, " You have knocked out her teeth. She is in a bad way." " For God's sake !" exclaimed the gentleman, " take her to a surgeon." Upon examination, the lady did not appear to be much disturbed. There was no appearance of blood. Her teeth had certainly been knocked out, and were hanging on her face, but they were artificial teeth. Her fall had broken the silver wire by which those ornaments were fas tened, and the appearance of one row out of their proper posi tion occasioned the alarm felt by the passengers. Fortunately, for the fair one she was more frightened by the awkward oc currence than injured by coming in contact with the horse, and after a female friend had assisted her to make good the derange ment of the false tenants of her machoire, she was able to walk home and dispense with the attendance of a medical man. She required the dentist only. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

B. ;,- AWFUL THUNDER STORM. LIVERPOOL.—On Friday morning last, about•two o'clock, this town was visited by one of the most awful thunder storms ever experienced here. Two claps, in particular, were most terrific, and made the stoutest heart tremble. The first oc curred at a quarter before two o'clock. —"• When mankind were wrapt in sleep, And worldly Fancy fed on golden dreams," the thunder burst forth with the most sublime, yet terrific grandeur. The clap was so loud, that it awoke almost every inhabitant. We have heard the peal compared to the sudden crash of falling houses; but it resembled more the discharge of a heavy piece, or rather pieces, of ordnance immediately un der your window. The lightning which preceded the second peal was so vivid as to deprive of sight, for a few moments, any one who had the temerity to gaze upon its dazzling and appaling brightness. It was just as if a glowing sheet of flame had been passed before the eye of the beholder. The whole town was seen as in the blaze of the meridian sun. The Town of Liverpool steam-packet was on her passage from Dublin at the moment; and the Captain describes the lightning as hav ing been the most awful and terrific he ,ever beheld.— The thunder immediately broke forth, not with a rumbling noise, as during ordinary thunder storms, but in one loud, tremendous clap, shaking the very buildings to their founda tions, and striking terror and dismay into all who heard it.— The rain, during this time, descended in torrents. The lightn ing which succeeded the second terrific clap was but weak , compared with the sublime grandeur of the flash by which it was preceded. The thunder also became feeble, and aeon mut tered and died away in the distance. As is usual after any aw ful visitation of nature, a variety of rumours or the damage pro- duced by this storm of thunder and lightning were in circula tion ; but we have not learnt that any very serious injury, es respects either person or property, has been sustained in the town or neighbourhood. A respectable man, who lives in a street leading from Saint James's-street to Wapping, states that he was awake before and during the storm. His bed room window commands a rather extensive view to the . north and northwest. He says, that the window-blind being drawn up, he saw, the instant the second terrific flash. took place, something resembling a ball of fire, about as large as a foot-ball, come over Sparling-street, in the di. ' rection of his house. He trembled with afright, conceiving that he could not escape the swift destruction which was approach ing. The house, which stands alone, slightly, but perceptibly vibrated as the electric fluid passed by, and the bed on which he lay moved as if violently shaken. This awful phenomenon was also beheld by a person, who lives on the opposite side of the street, and whose bed-room window commands a view in the same direction as the house of his neighbour. He had - given the inmates up for lost, so convinced was he that the electric fluid from the direction in which he saw it approaching, Would strike . and destroy the opposite house. Fortunately, however, it.passed over the building, without causing any injury, and continued its course towards the south-east.—The Town-hall is, we be lieve, the only building that experienced even a slight injury. It must, apparently, have been enveloped in the electric fluid, which appears to have made the circuit of the dome within the stone balustrade, where there are four lead pipes at intervals to convey the water from the dome down upon the footwalk of the balustrade. About six inches from the bottom adds walk the fluid appears to have gone wholly round close to the'dome, .• and flattened each of the lead pipes, leaving the appearance of a bullet, two inches diameter, having been forced between each pipe and the dome, then passed inside the lantern, and came out through the upper part of the window (breaking seven panes of glass) into Castle-street. The sign of a public-house, in Great Crosshall-street, has been discoloured, by the action, it is imagined, of the electric fluid. The iron-work, to which an artificial bunch of grapes, is suspended, was supposed to have been bent by the same powerful agency ; but this appears a mis take, the bend having, it is evident, been made by the blnek smith who manufactured it. The Theatre Royal, Weymouth, commenced its season on Monday last, under the ahl - e ma nagement of Mr. HARVEY, with a new Company of Comedians from the London and provinCal • Theatres. The Countess of Morley, whaler, which arriv ed in this port last week, has brought home a boy about 13 yeais old, a native of Owhyhee, at which island the vessel touched. He is a -fine muscular, acute-looking youth, of a • dark olive complexion. He came ashore at Mount Wise, on Sunday, and excited great attention among the prime• naders from the astonishment with which he viewed • the scene around him, so different from any thing he had before witnessed. He seemed particularly amused by the numerous crowds of well-dressed people on the Parade, and listened to the band of the 24th regiment, regarding the costume of the soldiers with mute wonder. We understand he is an orphan, having in early years been deprived of his parents, and was presented to one of the seamen of the Countess of Morley by a• Chief of Owhyhce. Like all the natives of the South Sea Islands, he is a most expert swimmer, and dives to the bottom with the greatest ease in seven or eight fathoms water. His name is Carlalolar, but the sailors have christened him Thos. Valentine. Being extremely expert at handicraft employincits, it is intended. to apprentice him to some mechanical trade, should he not himself decide on again going to sea.—( Plymouth Journal.) • BIRTH.
