CUMBERLAND TEA ' OARDENS.—This pleasant place of amusement-on the Banks of the Thames, near Vauxhall, will no longer - receive the public. The late occupier.. after the de. structmn of his premises by fire, committed sonic breach or the covenants. in his lease, and the lessors have taken possession. The property on the premises was sold'a few days since by the Sheriff under an execution.—An engine is to be erected on the spot by the South Lambeth Water Works. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, OCT. 4. Yesterday, GEORGE FonsTER, Esq.; Alderman, was elected Mayor of this town (being th e thi r d time), and Jon sr L. noon, Esq. Sheriff forthe year ensuing. The inaugura tion dinner, to the new authorities, and the members of the Corporation, was given, as is customary, by the retiring or ex sheriff, George Shadforth, Esq. : and it is hardly necessary to observe, that the same elegant liberality which has nil along been the distinguishing characteristic of Alr. Ex-Sheriff's public entertainments, was again agreeably conspicuous upon the pre sent occasion. Mr. Richardson, of the three Indian Kings, furnished the dinner, which was tastefhlly set out, and corn prized, besides substantials, all the delicacies of the autumnal season. The dessert and wines gave the greatest satisfaction. The number that dined was about 70. Mr. EX-Sheriff Shail forth sustained the duties of the Chair in the most urbane and 'obliging manner, which tended very essentially to promote the enjoyment of the evening. The usual routine of civic toasts issued from the chair, several of them prefaced by those perti nent and judicious remarks which gave then,, as it were, a double weight of recommendation. The new Mayor (GEofics: Fon STER, Esq.) proposed the health of the retiring Sheriff in very handsome terms : he said, the corporate body must ever feel respect for a gentleman who, during the - year that was past had so anxiously endeavoured to support all the dignities of liis office, as Sheriff. And they would long remember, with feel ings of satisfaction, how much they were indebted to him (Mr. Ex-Sheriff), for that elegant and comprehensive hospi tality which had distinguished the whole of his public career.— (Applause.)—Mr. Ex-SIIERIFF replied, that lie was deeply sensible of the honour in being thus noticed—he felt proud that his public conduct had been such as to meet with the ap probation of the members of the Corporation ; and he believed he might venture to add, that he had rather augmented than diminished the number of his friends.—(Great applause.)_Th e health of the late Mayor(HENRY CRAMLTNOTON, Esq.) was introduced in a very handsome manner by Mr. Alderman Smith, who, in thanking the late worthy Chief Magistrate 14 his assiduous attention to the manifold duties of his office, during the year that was pased, said, lie was hut the organ of the general voice in thus tendering him the sincere acknow ledgments of the Corporation for his services.—Mr. Alderman CRAM LINGT ox returned thanks in suitable terms.— Waiving all further detail of the toasts, save that the health of the new Mayor and the Sheriff, respectively, was drank with marks of the greatest approbation, we • shall finish our remarks by briefly observing, in justice to the worthy Gentleman who has just retired from office, that, for the last quarter of a century, we do not recollect that the office of Sheriff of Newcastle has been sustained. with more becoming dignity or decorum, in all its bearings, than it has been during the year just con cluded. LADY COCHRANE.—In the course of the performance of The Spectre Bridegroom (at Edinburgh), some question allu sive to South American freedom was caught by the audience, who unanimously rose, and loudly cheered Lady Cochrane, who was seated in a box along with the Hon. Capt. Cochrane, his Lordship'S brother, and Mr. Scott Moncrieff: Her Ladyship, evidently taken by surprise, curtseyed to the audience, who again made the house resound with their acclamations and cries of " Lord Cochrane for ever !" Her Ladyship was so deeply affected by those enthusiastic testimonies of esteem for her hus band, that she fainted, when the profoundest silence ensued, and she was removed by the Gentlemen who attended her.— ( Scotsman.)

A case of touch interest and imporance to the enterprising and intrepid boatmen on the 'eastern coast of •our County, and which should be fully known to them; was lately decided in the Cinque Ports' Admiralty Court, at Dover, by John Shipdcnt, Esq. the Surrogate of that CoUrt. The decision is understood to be in conformity to a recent one in nearly a similar case by Lord Stowell, in the High Court of Admiralty. The ship Cadiz-Packet, hound from Ostend to Batavia, laden with linen, flax, and other articles, lately struck on the Goodwin Sands and went to pieces; considerable quantities of Linen, (which is sub ject to a high duty ) were saved by the Deal and Ramsgatc boatmen, ant; the case came before the Cinque Ports A dmiral tyCourt,as one of derelict, subject to proof and claim of property by the owners, and to the boatmen's claim for salvage. After due proof of the property, and of the circumstances and risque attending the Salvors' services, and after hearing Proctors fbr the claimants and salvors, the Surrogate decreed that a Cemmission of Alt praisement should issue, to value the Nvitole,of the silved pro perty, free of, and without any reference to the CuStoms duty ; and upon the return of the Commission, decreed that the sal vage charges should be deducted from the appraised value, and so much of . the property sold, free of duty, as would produce the amount of such charges, and two fifths of the appraised value, after deducting the same, such two fifths to be divided amongst the `,:dvors, in reference to their respective propor tions of the property saved.—(licutisit Gazette.)

DtsEAsEs.—The diseases most ,prevalent in London during the last month have.been fever, inflammation, measles, and small-pox, and during the four weeks they been fatal to a degree beyond what has been usual except in cases of epidemics. In all th ese , t h e cases during the first week of the month were generally numerous and land; their respec tive numbers abated front that time, but during the first week of the present month of October their numbers have consi derably increased. The total during September were as fol lows :—Fever, 65 ; inflammati on, 191 ; meas l es , 51 ; and small pox, 170.

NEWMAKKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING, IS 25. FRIDAY. ocr. 7. The.first October Meeting ha,: terminated this day, haying !)een very thinly affsmled. . This is generally the case, as the Stakes contended for at this :Meeting do not have any influence on subsequent engagements. ..Maoy reasons may be given for the races this week being so unusually dull, the most probable of .which are these :--the many_ shooting parties in different parts of the kingdom, the unattractive appearance of the bill of fare, and the recent termination Of the Doncaster races, which have his great measure damped the spirit of spectilation in the sporting circles. • There 'was only one race today; but the interest. it excited, and the beautiful style in which it was disputed, made ample amends for the lack of others. Match 200 soy. T. Y. C.• Mr. Greville's Lionel Lincoln, Bst. 3lhs. _ 1 Mr. Batson's Ilogarth; Bst. 71b. - 2 This match has excited greater interest, and more betting, than any other this week, or perhaps (luring the year. At the beginning of betting on the course, it was 5 to 4 on Hogarili ; it soon after fell 'to evens, and at starting was 5 to 4on him. They went off in the finest style, neck and neck, at a slashing rate, and continued so for nearly half a mile, when Hogarth got in front by. about two lengths, and kept so till near the cords ; here Hogarth's friends were in full glee, offering heavy odds to any amount against the Lion.-100 to 5, and other sums of similar odds, were taken; but when Gootli)on got within the cords, he brought his old tactics into play, crept up by, degrees, and within a few lengths, made his grand rush, and popped Lionel in front by a head, amidst the cheering of hun dreds, but to the discomfiture of many.—Hogarth was rode in good style by John Day.

Winnington's game keepers (Richard Griffin) shot a very fine woodcock on his manor of Upper Sapey, a very unusual circumstance so early in the season.—( IVorcesler Journal.) 'A party of Englishmen at Rome have lately introduced a new species of hunting, which has quite astonished " the natives.' • They are equipped in red hunting jackets and caps, and the object of their sport is a pour mongrel be longing to a butcher in Rome. The animal is carried in a sack a - few miles from the city; when it arriv , at its destina tion, on being let loose, and frightened by the hooting and horns of these new huntsmen, it takes m its heels to regain th? shambles, pursued by all the motley crew, some of whom cut a wor.:e appearance. than ever any poor cockney did at the Epping hunt. COACH RAClNG.—Notwithstanding the severe penalties denounced by the law against furious driving of coaches, we find that the practice is still continued ; for yesterday week, as the two Market coaches (the Wellington and Commer cial), which run between this town and Man chester, were returning home, and were both coming at the most furious rate, the Com mercial attempted to pass the Wellington, when the latter, in order to prevent . it, crossed the other, by which means the wheels of the two coaches became locked. Considerable injury accrued to the coaches, inasmuch that one of them (the Commercial) was obliged to be supplied with new wheels, in I3olton, before she could proceed home. One of the passengers, Mr. Carruthers, of this town, had his shoulder dislo cated, and it may be considered fortunate for the coachman, that no lives were lost, as if such had been the case, we have no hesitation in saying that they would both have been found guilty . - o f manslaughter. As it is, this conduct can not be too much reprobated, as the lives of the passengers are every moment in imminent dan(zer. Soule idea of the furious rate at which the poor horses, who have the misfortune to• be subject to these brutes in human shape, are driven, when we state (upon good authority), that the two coaches aho‘e mentioned frequently come from Manchester to 1113Chburn, a distance of 24 miles,on si very hilly road from Bolton, and heavily laden, in the short space of two hours and forty minutes, including stoppages. We. trust such conduct will meet with its proper reward.— ( Blackburn We are requested to correct a mistake in our Paper of yesterday, respecting Mrs. SALON; that Lady left England early in Jun e l ast, i n . tending to pass her winter in Italy.

The mail from Coblentz to Giessen was tacked by a party of eight robbers nu the 18,h ult., who took from it a conNidi•rablo sum of money. The conductor was datigerunsly.-nouttk ed, and two of thethorses were killed. The pa "stingers escaped, by running into the,sinrOuntl..l; woods. A Violent dispute broke out on Sunday evenilg last, at the Montacoe Ste. Genevieve, betweea some workmen and a party of soldiers of our al the regitnents stationed in Paris, who inqamiy drew their swords ; several of the former were dangerously wounded, and one of them killed on the spot. It appears by the Boston Gazette that a plan is in agitation to forward five stock from ti;at port to the London marketi, by meaas of steam vessels. Last Tuesday afternoon a gevtlew mrpn corn:ng down Chancery-lane had her right eye forced into het head by the carelessness of. a butcher's apprentice, A few nights ago the .warehouse of Messrs. Price and Gifford, No. 7, Suffolk-lane, Upper Thames-street, was broken into, and 'the robbers carried off 2001 b. weight of segar,,, a quantity of Paddy-bird feathers and tippets, anctabout of fine leaf isinglass. A liberal reward has been offered by Messrs. Price and Gifford fur the dis c covery of the thieves. AN IRISH BLUNDER.—An Irishman on board • a man-of-war, was desired by his messmate" to go down the hold, and-fetch a can of small beer. Teague, knowing that preparations were making to sail, absolutely refused. " Arrah, - by my shoul," said he, " and co while I am going into the cellar to fetch beer s the ship will sail and leave me behind." - THE ()PAH DORT.—A very rare and peculiarly beautiful fish, called the Opah Dory, or King's fish, was caught on '.l;hursday last off Skegness, by some fishermen of that place. This superior species is a native of Africa, though it is some times met with in the Mediterranean and-Northern Seas. Tts form somewhat resembles the fish called John Dory, though it is much superior, both as regards its size, and the diver sity of its colours. It exceeds in size every other fish of its species, the one caught off Skegness measuring upwards of three feet in length, and nearly two feet in breadth. Its ap pearance is very handsome, and the colours of the .akin are especially worthy of notice ; the ground ix a bright green, shaded by a brilliant blue, and when seen in different positio tt it appears diversified with red, thus exhibiting the splendii colours of the rainbow, varied by numerous large white oval spots, and the whole forming a striking contrast with the firs and tail, which are of a bright scarlet. The - fish is entirely destitUteof teeth, the absence of which is compenstead for by the peculiar structure of the tongue, which is thickly set with prickles pointing backwards, so that any food m a y be e a sily re.. tained or passed down the throat, but would present an insur - mountable obstacle to any trod repassing its surface. The breast-bone is remarkably prominent, and rese - übles in ap pearance the keel of a vessel.• The extreme rarity of this beau tiful production of nature in 'these climes ,may be inferred from the fact, that only three of its kind are recorded -to have been hitherto caught on the British coast; 'he last ore was caught in the year. 1762, off Torbay, Devonshire, and is now preserved in the British 11Iusensn. • The person who has - obtained possession of this fish exhibited it at Boston on Friday and . Saturday last, and afterwards conveyed it to Nottingham Fair for the inspection of the anions at that place.—(Beaten Gazette.) The BLIND WATCHMAKEIL—It Ills often been - recorded that persons dehriied of that most ineStiniablesbles.: : sing, eye-sight, have r by dint of perseverance aid -by. poss.: sassing other faculties to a greater degree of nerfection than usual, been enabled ti re id, wri • , draw, play . cards, Sc.c and have produced many : specimens of their :knosisledge, of the Mechanical and Fine Arts, that woull have reflected honour on any artist. Instances of this kind seldomoceur, but when it 'does, it shows the benevolence of our Creator, who, in depriving us or one faculty, bestows the ,others in greater abundance. We have been led to these remarks -by witnessing, a few yearS "since, at Barnstaple, a .igrt over a door, denoting that docks,' watches, weas:rspaired by Wm. Huntley, a blild man. On making inquiry we. were informed that this man was born blind, or at least, that he hag no recollection of ever seeing. He was br:'d by his fa ther, who was a watch and clock maker, to that businets, which he now follows, and has plenty of employment. p F i!ig consi dered by the inhabitants very superior hi his pratessinne he. repairs musical clocks and watches, and lel:loin meets With any difficulty in repairing the most complicated. it-often.

The thieves both escaped. _ • . ATltoclOui IWIIDF.R.—The French Papers contain the following details of an atrocious murder lately com mitted at Chantbery :-,-" A most shocking occurrence took place here on Sunday the 25th ult., which has struck with ter ror the whole of the inhabitants of this city.' Few crimes, thank Heaven, present circumstances so atrocintis' at those which we have just witnessed.. Our imagination recoils at the bare recital of them. For some time neat M. 1 4 _—, of this city, had lived upon very ill terms with his wife, without its ever having transpired that the latter had given him- cause. On Sunday last a very great altercation took place between them ; . and after a terrible quarrel. M. lot his house and went to an apothecary sto buy some spirits: Lie ;. refiirned home, and after remaining there s a short times hth • went to a house where his duty repaired hioi to he present.— ' During his absence it was rumoured that his wife had just been assassinated ; an officer of police was immediately sent to M. house, where he found tile ',body 'of' the unfortunate woman. most shockingly milt-fated and de prived of life. From some serious contusion on the head ,it appeared that 'she' had been knocked down with - great violence, but the most horrid circumstance that.presented shelf was, that the assasSin, with a view, no doubt, to remove the; traces of his crimes, had actually boiled the head of the corpse in a saucepan, hoping by this means to do away the mark s o f the blows. The teeth and the hair were found in the sauce. pan, having been removed from the head by the action of the boiling water'; the spirits, which had been purchased at an apothecary's,. were found upon the table near the body, and a shirt and waistcoat, which the husband of the poor victim bed worn that morninh o were also found with soine greasy - rpo - s upon them,:corresponding with the conten.s of the saucepan.— Sieur B— being very strongly suspected, was arrested and taken to prison. We wait with anxiety for the result- of this dreadful atthir. The father of the prixonfr also died a violent death, and it is rumoured that his son is tr , ilty of his murder. For ourselves, we will not prejudge any body, and although very strong proofs at I) . i . ..sent appear against M. B— yet we shall wait until the decision of the Judges is pronounce d: " OC " I° ll 1 6 °( o iff v i Cl 4 0 4 , to goi ) ; . ne l a i 4 tape 56 0 Co O P 0/4
