WINDSOR, SEPT. 11.—Yesterday the KING, With his usual attendants, took an airing in the Great Park, in the course of which he drove to Frogmore Lodge, where he passed nearly two hours with his Royal sisters the Queen of WURTRIIBURG and Princess AUGUSTA, when his MAJESTY returned to the Royal Lodge, and at half past seven o'clock honoured his respective attendants with his company to dinner. This day his MAJESTY ordered his attendants and phaetons to be in readiness at the Royal Lodge at two o'clock, and dinner, as usual, at five o'clock, at the Fishing Temple, Virginia Water. The Queen of WuaTitainuao and her Royal sister Princess AtreusTa, when the weather admits, take an airing daily in the double-bodied phaeton, drawn by four of his MAJESTY'S ponies, and driven by two postilions in the KlNa'e livery, with outriders in the same. Her MAJESTY continues to enjoy good health ; her doctor who accompanied her to England, says that her BIAJESTY has enjoyed better health since her arrival here than she generally does in Wurtem berg. Her MAJESTY proposes leaving Frogmore Lodge between the 22d and 26th instant, when she will pa ss a few days in London, preparatory to her MAJESTY'S depar ture for Wurtemburg.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—The work men are now employed altering and enlarging the Court of Common Pleas in Westminster Hall. The new Serjeants learned in the law, require more room than the Court pro vided for them, and the seats must be increased for their accommodation. SIR THOMAS MOORE.—The greatest of men are sometimes seized with strange fancies at the very mo ment when one would suppose they had ceased to be occu pied with the things of this world. Sir Thomas Moore, at his execution, having laid his head upon the block, and perceiving that hie beard was extended in sueh a manner that it would be cut through by the executioner, asked him to adjust it properly upon the block ; and when the executioner told him he need not trouble himself about his beard, when his head %vas about to be cut ofl; " It is of little consequence to me," said Sir Thomas, " but it is a matter of some importance to you, that you should under.. stand your profession, and not cut through my beard, when you bad orders only to cut off my head. A GASCON BED.—A Gascon officer, hear ing some one celebrating the exploits of a prince who, in two assaults upon a town, had killed six men with his own hand Bah !" said he, " I would have you to know, that the very mattresses I sleep upon are stuffed with nothing else but the whiskers of those whom I have sent to slumber in the other world.' The miser procrastinates and the spendthrift anticipates. The former perpetually experiences want, and the latter absolutely purchases it.

RESURRECTION MEN DEFEATED, --.Be tween midnight and one o'clock yesterday morning, two 'Peculators in the dead visited the church-yard of St. George's, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of exhumating th e body of a female (Mrs. Margaret Quinlan), interred there on Sunday last. In fulfilm ent of her d y in g re q uest, her husband, a resident in St. Martin's-lane, kept vigils at her grave , accompan i e d by another re lation of the deceased. —flaying Observed the two prowling vampires in the church-yard, they remained concealed in order to watch their pro cee(tings. 'With a spade and pick-axe they soon commenced their operations on Mrs. Quinlan 's grave, and had dug about two feet of earth when the husband and cousin suddenly surprised and attacked them.

To-day these Sessions were opened by the LORD MAYOR and RECORDER ; there were also a considerable number of Aldermen present. The RECORDER stated his regret at having to detain the Grand Jury, but as the Act of Parliament was imperative that an adjourned appeal from the July Sessions should be heard before the September business was begun, the Court felt bound, in the first place, to proceed with it. CAUTION TO PAWNBROKERS. FISHER V. FOLICARD This was an appeal from a decision of the Lord Mayor, imposing a conviction on the defendant for charging more interest as a pawnbroker than by law he was entitled to. John Hugh Fisher, on being examined by Mr. BoLLAND, stated, that on the 23d of May last, year, he pledged with the defendant, a pawnbroker, in Sun-street, Bishopsgate street, a silver wine-cooler, desert 'and table-spoons, for 2/. 155., and of which he received two duplicates. On making the pledge he did not ask for any sum ; the defendant said he would advance the 21. 159. He did not ask for two duplicates, but expressed surprise at receiv ing more than one, and on enquiring why more than one was given to him, the defendant said he had a reason for it, but that he did not wish the public to know it, or something to that effect. On redeeming the goods on the 9th of May last, the defendant charged a greater sum for interest than he would have been entitled to had he only given one duplicate, and therefore the information was lodged against him. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.-Witness was an attorney, and lived in Finch Lane. He gave his name to the pawnbroker as John Fisher, 9, Cornhill. He believed it to be the universal practice for persons to give fictitious addresses to pawnbrokers. He did it because he did not wish his real name and address to be known. He pledged the property, which was his own, for want of money. He had never stated on oath before a magistrate that his name was John Fisher. Mary Lee lived in his house. She was the informant on this occasion, and he only was a witness. Should the conviction be confirmed, she was to have the amount of the penalty. He did not know that she would have to pay the costs, should the appellant succeed—he might. The goods, when pledged, were all wrapped up in one parcel. Witness did not ask for two duplicates, because he thought it might be more convenient for him to take out the table-spoons, when he might need them, than to redeem the whole at one time. Mr. ADOLPHUS then addressed the Court on behalf of the appellant. He entreated that nothing like prejudice might be allowed to operate on the mind of the Court against the defendant, because of the business he belonged to ; nor would he throw any reflections on Mr. Fisher, because of his having had to pledge his goods for the tri fling sum of 2/. 155., notwithstanding he was an attorney in the city ; for it was better for him to have raised money by that way than perhaps by some other means; but he would boldly assert that the entire statement of Fisher was a tissue of falsehood and deception from begin ning to end. He had come here to make a case he knew could not be contradicted, because in his evidence he had said no person was present either when the goods were pledged or redeemed, except the person who took them ; and as the defendant himself could not be called, lie hoped to have credit given to him for all he had thought proper to advance. The fact was, that he, an attorney, had gone to the pawnbroker, had himself violated the statute in two instances, and got the defendant to do it in one : he had given his wrong name and wrong place of residence, and got the pawnbroker to enter in his book that fictitious statement. Having ac knowledged that he went to the pawnbroker with these falsehoods in his mouth, it could be no great stretch to be lieve the pawnbroker's allegation, that it was at his parti cular request the two duplicates were given ; and he (Mr. C.) hoped that the Court, looking at the whole of Mr. Fisher's conduct, would not affirm the conviction. The RECORDER stated that the Court listened with every possible attention, both to the evidence, and the statement of the appellant's Counsel, and it was satisfied the conviction had been rightly made, and, therefore, it confirmed it. The LORD MAYOR added, that he hoped this would be a warning to pawnbrokers. It was alleged when the case went first before him, that the practice among pawn- brokers, of giving two duplicates for one pledge, was general ; he trusted that if that imposition was practised on the public, that this conviction, which was the highest he had power to inflict, and to which extent belhad gone because of that statement having been made to him, would have the effect of checking so infamous a practice. Mr. Fisher is the same gentleman who brought an action against Stockdale for publishing a statement of Harriet Wilson's respecting him. The Grand Jury were then sworn, and charged by the Recorder, who lamented the weight of the calendar, con taining no less than 411 prisoners, 82 of whom were committed from the city. An account of an extraordinary case of sui cide is given in a paper published at Popayan, South America. A woman, 48 years of age, had for a long time conceived a design of burning herself alive, and all her fa mily being asleep, she entered an oven which was heated for the purpose of baking bread, and was immediately can sumed.—American Paper. As a party of gentlemen were sporting over the manor of Stalbridge, on the Ist instant, two of them fired at and killed a hare.

On a recent mineralogical excursion to some of the limestone quarries in Fife, that rare mineral, apo phylite, was discovered, occupying the interior of a petri fied shell, we believe, the first time it has been observed so associated. This occurred in the Chapel Quarry, the property of Colonel Thomson. A very beautiful specimen of the same mineral, finely chrystalised, was found in the same quarry some years ago, and tossed aside as calcareous spar. In an adjoining quarry, the property of Sir John Oswald, a very beautiful green coloured steatite occurs in large quantities, which in some places contains organic remains. Both these quarries afford some rare varieties of calcareous spar, and abundance of petrifactions.—Caledo ian Mercury.

A black man with only one eye, one of those disgraceful wretches who degrade religion and disgust the sensible part of the community by extemporary declamations of the Gospel, was last week taken into custody in the Isle of Wight, on being found drinking in a public house at midnight, th us app l y i ng the profits of his noon day's affected piety, to effect the real purpose of his impious profligacy. He was ordered to quit the island immediately, and we presume, returned to Portsmouth and Gosport, where he has before too successfully practised his imposition. We cannot too strongly express our surprise at the encouragement which impos tors so generally receive.— Southampton Herald.

GREAT MALVERN, SEPT. 9.—This de lightful and romantic village, so justly named by the late Dr. Baillie; the Montpelier of England, from the purity of its air and water, is at present thronged with visitors, in.• eluding some of the nobility of the first rank. The Earl and . Countess Gower have been staying here with their family for the last fortnight, at the Foley Arms. On Friday evening the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's and suite arrived here in three carriages and four, and pro ceeded to the Wells Hotel. We expect to be very gay. The South-western part of Hampshire appears to have been a scene of unusual mirth and gaiety last week. At Romsey there was a grand music meeting ; at Fording bridge great feasting and rejoicing on the coming of age of Mr. /tyre Coote ; and at Christchurch similar rejoicings on the birth of a grandson and heir to the estates of Sir George Irison Tapps, in that neighbourhood. Colonel Fanshawe, from the Ordnance Office, is now engaged in surveying Hobbs' Point, near his Ma jesty's Dock-yard, Pembroke, and the ground leading to it, for a mail-road, preparatory to his reporting as to its eli gibility for a packet station for his Majesty's Post-office steam-packets, to ply from to Dunmore, instead of landing the mail, and shipping it, as heretofore, at Milford. He also has in view the surveying and making out ground fez fortification for the better protection of Milford Harbour and the Royal Naval Arsenal, with its most valuable con tents. It is also in contemplation, since the Lord High Admiral's visit, to annex the Old Fort to the Yard, so as to bring it withinside, to form itewc4tern boundary, which will be a great addition and improvement, and the car rying it into effect be attended with but little expence, as the ground already belongs to Government.—Bristol Mercury. We are glad to find that the differences which have arisen on the subject of the command of the Western District, are not likely to recur. As Major-Gen. Sir James Lyon, lately leaving Portonouth on public leave, announced in orders that Colonel Phillot, of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, would assume the command of the district, and that the reports of the garrison of Portsmouth would be made to Colonel Moncrieffe, of the Royal Marines —this anomaly, Colonel Moncrieffe being senior officer to Colonel Phillot, was attended by unpleasant events.— Colonel Moncrieffe, in consequence of his authority being disputed, placed the Quartermaster-General of the district (Colonel Ward) under arrest ; and the whole case has been submitted to his Royal Highness the Lord High Ad miral and to his Grace the Com mander-in -Chief, 'who have, it is understood, decided that Colonel Moncrieffe, of the Royal Marines, being next in seniority to Major-Ge neral'Sir James Lyon, properly succeeded to the command of the district, in the absence of Major-General Sir James Lyon.

MACKENZIE, This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover the sum of 1,3101. 14s. 3d., lodged by the de fendant in Coutts's bank, the defendant owing plaintiff more than that sum. The action was brought by notice of a very ancient custom, which obtains in London (and in that city alone.) If a debt be contracted in the city, and the debtor leave the jurisdiction of this Court, the creditor may attach any money or goods belonging to him which he can discover within the city. If he recovers before the money is paid, he must give security to the Court, that if the defendant dispute the matter within a year and a day, he (the plaintiff) shall answer such suit. But the bank of Messrs. Coutta, where Mackenzie had lodged the above sum, being without the city, notice of this action was served upon one of the partners when in the city transacting business; and The RECORDER ruled, after hearing the argu ments of Messrs. BOLLAND and LAW on either side, that this service within the city brought the case under the jurisdiction of the Court. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. SIR WM. DARCY TODD, KNT. V. COUNT LINSINGtEN. This was an action under similar circumstances, to recover a sum lodged by defendant (who was in debted more than its amount to the plaintiff) in the bank of Messrs. Hoare, of Lombard-street. It ap peared that the defendant had left the country, and that Sir William Todd had brought an action against him for its recovery in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster, and recovered, the defendant suffering judgment to go by default. The RECORDER, under these circumstances, di rected the Jury to return their verdict for the defendant, as the cause of action did not arise in the city. MATRIMONIAL CONSOLATION.--A younger brother had espoused an old and ill-tempered wife, but ex tremely rich. He used t 3 say, " Whenever I find my temper giving way, I retire to my closet, and console my self by reading her marriage settlement." HYDROPIIOBIA.--A melancholy case of death from this dreadful malady, occurred, we lament to state, on Friday last. About three weeks since, Mr. Fenby, of Gloucester-street, in this town, was bitten in the hand by a dog, in Lodge-lane. The wound soon healed, and no particular attention was paid to the occurrence. On Wed nesday last Mr. F. was unwell, and feeling himself thirsty, went to take a draught of water. On seeing the water he involuntarily recoiled, and, from that moment felt seriously alarmed, although satisfied, in his own mind, that the ani mal which had bitten him was not mad. This opinion he held in the lucid intervals he had before he died. He, how ever, was persuaded, from his feelings, that he was in a state of hydrophobia. With this sentiment preying on his mind, he grew worse, till, on the Friday, he was unma nageable by any other means than force, and such was hi* strength, that it was as much as six men could do to hold him. At intervals, he barked like a dOg. In the absence of the paroxysms, he had his senses, was collected, and re signed to his fate, which be knew to be inevitable, saying he was not afraid to die. He died in the evening. He was married about eighteen months since, and has left a widow and an infant to bewail the melancholy termination of his life at the age of 31.—Liverpool Albion. There is a man in this colony, named Wilkin son; well known by the appellation of the "snake ma n," who has become so familiar with, and fond of, these reptiles, that he seldom travels without having some of the most venomous coiled in his bare bosom, or stuffed into the crown of his hat. While in the service of a Paramatta clergyman, he came home one dm with the tail of a good-sized snake hanging out from under his hat, curling over his brow like lave-lock, and when told of it by the lady of the house, he very coolly gave the tail a sharp pin c h between hi s fi nger a nd thumb, to make the ani. mal draw its stray member in. He had some constantly crawling about his bed-room, too. and often occupying a portion even of his bed, without his expressing the least apprehension, He says he was taught by the French surgeon of De Freycinet's ship to tame these reptiles, which he accomplished by simply confining several in a bag together ; through which procedure, the snakes soon lose all inclination for biting, per mitting themselves afterwards to be freely handled. as lie has often demonstrated by thrusting hi bare hand among a bagful of them and holding theta fearlessly up like a hunch of eels. What ever be his mode of taming, however, it is cer tainly most effectual. Ile at first approaches: them cautiously from behind, as they lie bask ing, seizes them cl ose by the bead, presses tho thumb under the jaw, forthwith consign* them to his wallet, and trudges eagerly on in search of more; and, though he has caught some thousands he has never been once bitten.---Cunningham's N, S. Wales. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING IN ST. JAMES's-STREET.—SErr. A good sprinkle of the turfinen assembled here to-day, and some moderate betting was the consequence. Cau tion, however, seemed the order of the day. Mameluke and Granby seem almost fixed, and 6 to 4 was offered between them. In one instance, a Mentor betted three store to 20 guineas against Alameluke, receiving a pine -apple to bet it. Medora is creeping up, closely followed up by Matilda, which latter seems a great favourite with the North coun try lads. At half-past six o'clock the odds were as follew : ST.

Yesterday a handsome wherry, and other prizes, givers by the Ladies and Gentlemen of St. Paul, Shadwell, were contested for by six free watermen belonging to different stairs situate in the parish. The men came in as follows : Andrew Scott Yellow ' 1 John Raymond William Tovey Rod 3 The first was entitled to the wherry, valued at ft2l. ; and 31., 2/. 10s., 2/., 11. 10s., and 11., were distributed among the others. Several stems-b oats stopped during the heats, and the bands 'On board, joined by those sta tioned on the river, played " God save the King," and other national airs, much to the delight of the numberless spectators who were on board the vessels in the Lower Pool, and on the banks of the River. - ,-- - A grand Rowing Match took place yesterday for a beau - tiful silver medal, given by the Union Club, to be rowed for by Gentlemen amateurs, five pair of oars, in three heats. For the last heat, the boats came in thus Mr. Charles Bolt } Orange 1 Mr. William Rice .... MT. Evered Mr. Mason } Blue . * Mr. Easton Mr. Davis } White e This was throughout a beautiful match A tremendous battle was fought at Naughton, near Staf ford, on Tuesday evening, by two men, for a small sum of money. The parties were both young ; ene an inha bitant of the village, of the name of Mould, a shoemaker, and the other a " dab hand" at boxing, well known by the appellation of " Windsor." After forty-three rounds, during which each party had dreadfully punished the other, a truce was called for by the crowd. Both the men were sober, and our relator states that they never closed, but fought at arm's length the whole time.--Staffordshire Advertiser; The plan of improYements in St. James's Park begins to be more distinguishable. The water nearest the Horse Guards will form a head or basin. There is a peninsula which will be covered with shrubbery, and form a very handsome abject. The stream, as we stated on a former occasion, will assume a serpentine appearance. A house is building for a steam engine, which is necessary to remove the water.

ROBBERY OF LORD MANDEVILLE'S STA BIAS. —On last Friday night a very daring robbery was committed in the stable, of Lord Mandeville, Wood's Mews, back of Grosvenor-square. Between eleven and twelve o'clock the stables were broken into and gutted of every article. Next day, on hearing of the robbery, C?i• Steel, brother to Lady Mandeville, who lives at the opposst , : side of the square, accompanied by Clements, an office-,• of Marlborough-street, commenced a most active inquiry in the neighbourhood, but with ou t success. r enders What the affair most extraordinary, is, that Colonel Steel ' s own stables were broken into about dm same hour en the fol lowing night, and robbed in the same manner as Lord Mandeville's.
