The natural consequence of one's own actions can scarcely be dignified by such an appellation, for seldom it is that a righteous policy involves its pursuers in destruction.'

EXTRAORDINARY FOX CHASE. As the. Hampshire Hounds were running a 'Fox this Morning (September 14), near Otterbourn,they were observed by Taylor, the driver of Ragert's Telcgmph, who predicted that the 'Fox would pass near where the coach then was, which actually took place. for the Fox was run into at a very short distance from the coach and killed, and the Brush presented - to Taylor; but what adds to the singularity of the occurrence is, that the Independent and Oxford coaches as they came up stopped in succession, so that it may be truly said that three stage-coaches were in at the death of a Fox, and that one of the.coachmen got the Brush; it also happened that they were all heavily loadedoso that a great number of persons enjoyed the fan.

Eorrort—ln your Paper of the 12th inst. you state, that at the Meeting of the Shareholders of the above concern it was resolved, • 4 C That " the liberal tender of services of the Directors " and Auditors GRATUITOUSLY should be thank. " fully received and accepted." I must confess, Sir, this statement - surprised me ; hut knowing your usual correctness, I felt myself hound to be lieve it. Upon inquiry, however, I can assure you, there is-Hot the slightest foundation for it. No such liberal tender of services was ever made. But on the contrary, some 's'ev_en or eight years ago, it was determined to lessen • the expenses of management, and to reduce the number of Directors from fifteen to nine, • and the Auditors from five to three ; yet the reduced number, it was discovered last year, had continued to divide amongst -them the sanie amount as had previously been paid to the larger number, in contravention of the Resolution, and the intentions of the Proprietors. This Brewery commenced abon (twenty yearsago under the most auspicious circumstances, and with a splendid capital of 350,0001. What remains of that sum may be imagined from the fact that the 501. Shares, which, at one time, sold currently at from 120/. to 1301. have not for some years past found' purchasers at from 31. to 51. No Interest on Capi tal, nor Dividend from profit on the • trade, has been paid.. for many years, but like 'other Joint Stock Companies, this Brewery has been "carried on to the annual loss of every Proprietor, of a part of his Capital, .and-with a liability, to the whole extent of his property, fOr the debts that may from time to-time be contracted by the ma nagers of it, who, in the shape of directors, audi tors, and servants, have reaped the exclusive bene fits arising from-this immense capital. ,Your in sertion of these few. remarks will correet an erro- neous statement, and act, I trust, as a salutary hint to those unthinking individuals who may still feel disposed to embark their property in the visionary schemes of the present day, and likewise induce those wh o h ave a voice in the choice of Directors, to select only Men of ta lent and respectability, and possessing a large in terest in the concern confided to their manage ment, to fill that important office, and to compel theindividuals so selected to receive aper aentage on the prof i ts of the. Brewery, in lieu qf the pre sent:liberal salaries, which can only be paid from the Capital advanced by the Proprietors. London Institution. . - - A,Sif A ntnoLDER. Mr. BAntr, the King's Messenger, has left .own with dispatches from the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department for Ireland. Letters from Havannah of the 3d of August, mention the arrival of the French fleet, and its departure for the coast of the United States. It is remarkable that this event, which created so lively an alarm among the politicians of the Royal Exchange, caused so little sensation at Ilavannah, that none of the letters we have seen honour it with more than a slight passing notice, and attach no importance whatever to the visit.—(Times.) The East India Company, we hear, have lately contracted for immense quantities of arms and ammunition, to be delivered in the course of the present year. We received a letter from Canterbury this morning, dated yesterday, stating the Election for the Mayoralty of that City had taken place. The Candidates are Messrs. Aldermen JONES and PIERCE. Our Correspondent states, that Mr. PIERCE is not eligible, as he holds the place of office of Clerk to the Magistrates, a lucrative situation, which he is, of course, reluctant to co sign, and therefore is unwilling to be appointed Mayor. Be adds, with some remarks which we do not think ourselves warranted to insert, that at the close of his letter, Mr. PsEace had every chance of being elected Mayor of Canterbury, much against his inclination !!! The festival of Rose') Hasana, or New Year's day, was kept by the Jews on Tuesday last, being the first day of their month of Tifri, which corresponds with our month of September. This day is their Chipar, or day of forgiveness, which being a solemn fast, they indulge themselves on the pre ceding eve with a plentiful supper. It is customary with them two or three hours before sun-set to go to prayers, when their feast commences, but must be concluded before sun-set.— The most devout of them then put on new robes or funeral clothes, and in these penitential habits go (some even without their shoes) to the Synagogue, which on that night is finely illuminated with lamps and candles. There they repeat their several prayers and confessions, as a demonstration of the sincerity of their repentance, which last three hours at least, after which the most part of them retire home to rest, but many of the most devout remain in the Synagogue the whole of the night, saying their prayers and repeating psalms : should any of them be overcome with sleep, they take this in dulgence only for a very short time. Next morning such as go home the preceding night, repair again by day-Creak to the Synagogue, dressed as on the preceding evening, and there remain until night, saying their prayers without intermis sion, repeating psalms anti confessions, and beseeching God to pardon all their transgressions. When it is so dark that the stars appear, they sound the same horn which was sounded on the first day of the • year, to denote that the fast is concluded. Upon retiring from the Synagogue they wish one another a long life, and use other courteous and friendly expressions.— They bless the new moon—and upon their return home, and the repetition of the Habdula, they break their fast by sitting down to a plenteous repast. Mr. DAVY, of the New England Coffee-house, has opened this morning his New Grand South American and North American Subscription Room. For taste, elegance, and accommodation, it surpasses every thing of the kind we have hitherto seen. Great merit is due to Mr. JohN KENT, the Architect, for its novel construction; and no doubt it will be a grand resort for most of our eminent merchants, - 150 PEDESTRIANISM. • The Two Gentlemen Pedestrians, Captain Smith and Mr. Blakesley, who started from Kingsland on Tuesday morning at one o'clock, fOr 200 sov. reached Woodsford, Northamp tonshire (78 miles), about the same time, between ten and eleven o'clock at night, and supped there, on their race to the 140 mile stone near Worksop. , Captain Bell Ferguson goes with the Captain as opposite umpire, a Mr. Giles with• Mr. Makes ley, and Capt. W. N. Wilson is the referree in case of dispute. Much money is pending upon the event, and 'Mr. B. is rather the favourite. HATMARKET.---The new comedy of Paul Pry was repeated last night with some curtailments, which rendered it more compact and effective. With such supporters as LISTON, W. FARREN, Porr•,, Madame VEsTarf, Miss, and, particularly Mrs. Gin vErt (nor should the firm natural acting of - YOUNGER be passed over), it is likely to be strongly attractive through the season. lii•S FOOTE is engaged by HARRY JOHNSON to play at the Whitehaven Theatre,Cumbet land, six nights, for 300/. Her first appearance will be in the character of .Letitia Hardy, on the 22d instant. A new tragedy, Sigismonde de Bourgoyze, by Monsieur Yiennet, has been very successful at the Theatre Francais. It is ,highly praised in the Constitotionnel. Colonel WALL, of Hollow Park, has presented to the Mayor and Corporation of Worcester apiece of ordnance end nine suits of black iron armour, which, belonged to Charles by whom they were left at Worcester, after the fatal battle in 16,51. The gun is a brass long French 1 3 -pounder; it was presented to Charles 11. by Compte de Burgh, whose arms and name are engraven upon it ; there are also the arms of France, with the date ; round the but are the words—" Joannrs Sitho fme fecit Bruzqles."—lt was spiked when left, but the inside is not injured. LOVE'S LABOURS NOT LOST.--On Friday was married at Palgrave, by the Reverend Robert Rose, Mr. Frederick Smith, to Miss Sophia, daughter of Mr. Gaskin, both of that parish. This now happy couple had their bans regularly published, b ut some misunderstand i ng taking place, about a week previous to the day appointed fin. the solem nization of the nuptials, between th 4 bridegroom and re latipns of the bride, the former, in the excitation of his mind, sold off' the goods and chatt,•is which he had pro vided for the connubial state, and abruptly Withdrew him self from the place of his promised happiness, hoping, by absence, to estrange his heart from the object of its affec tion. This task, however, he found by no means an easy one: after a few days' absence, love compelled its forlorn votary to return, only to witness whether his betrothed re mained faithful. He met his fair one in the street of the town, with a vessel in her hand, pensively tripping to a neighbouring farm-house for milk. The flame which had been, with difficulty, suppressed, now burst forth in the bosom of both lnvers : a few moments served to bring them to a decision. Tlie Church and the Rectory House stood hard by. The clergyman and clerk were soon in attendance._ The maiden set her milk-tin on the steps . of the altar, and the rite being i mme di ate ly consumm a t e d, was soon i ndependent of a second intervention.—(Bury Gaactte.) YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. YORK, TUESDAY, SEPT. 13. __- The Assembly-room, last night, was crowded to excess. Though the Festival did not strictly commence till to-day, Company poured into the city last night in great profu sion, and the rooms in consequence became so full, that dancing for a time was quite out of the question. As the evening ad .vanced, space was found for a few quadrilles, and some fine spirited waltzing. Nothing Could be more gay than the com pany; and the recent improvements in the Egyptian-hall, by the removal of the side -seats, and by leaving the colonades open, have added greatly to the beauty and accommodation of the '1)o - in.—This morning we had our first grand selection of sacred music performed in the Cathedral. The company' began to. assemble about half.past eight o'clock, thbugh the doors were novopened till half-past ten. The ample framework in front of the principal entrance soon became crowded with anxi- ous visitors, numbers of them in full dress ; the weather was fortunately quite brilliant, and an hour or two's exposure in the open air vas attended with no inconvenience. At the time appointed, the doors were thrown open, and the rush was for a time a little alarming, but fortunately no serious accident hap pened, and a very short time served to spread the numbers which so recently beset the approaches over the great aile and the side galleries, as well as to fill the west .gallery. The per formance did not commence till 12 o'clock, and in the mean time the principal parts of the Minster set apart for this Fes tival was filled' with such an audience as no other county in England, Middlesex.alone excepted, could produce. The interval gave time to examine the interior arrangements, which are the same as in the year 1823, except that a hand. some antique gallery, passing on each side .of the nave of the Cathedral, and terminated by the great west gallery, is added. —The new gallery takes something from the vastness of the building; but it greatly enlarges the accommodation, and does in no degree diminis:; the power or the effect of the .music.— The number of persons present was 4,000. Hi s G race the Archbishop of , York, owing to the recent death of his Noble relative the Earl of Carlisle, did not attend this day; hiti place was supplied by the Duke of Devohshire. The performers began to assemble a little time before the opening of the morn ing performance, and exhibited the following brilliant list Madame Caradori, Miss Travis, Miss Goodall, and Miss Ste phens, Miss Wilkinson, and Miss Farrar ; Mr. Vaughan, M r . ,Sapio, Mr. W. K nyvett, Mr. Terrell, an Mr. Braniun, Mr. Bellamy and Mr. Phillips ; and the grand chorus consisted of 90 -cantos ' 70 altos, 90 t enors , an d . 10 0 basses. Sir; Greatorex conducted the instrumental part of the performance, assisted by Mr. Camidge and Dr. Camidge, and Sir. White and Mr ; Phillip Knapton. Dr. Camidge presided at the organ, and Sir. Greaterex at the piano -forte. Sir. Crainerled the band, and Sir..Mori played the first violin. The total number of performers was 15 principal vocals, 250 instrumentals, acrd 350 chortle singers. After Handel's grand c h orus , from the jubilate composition for the peace of Utrecht, in 1713, of " Glory be to the Father," &c., the oratorio was opened by Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Phil , . lips, with " Here shall soft charity ripen." At one time it was intended that Mr. Braham should open the performance ; but the arrangement afterwards made was in compliance with cer tain prejudices in a high quarter against that eminent performer. " Agnas Dei, qui totlis peccata miserere flair," was twig inimitably by Miss Travis. Miss Farrar, a native per former, after ehe had overcome the nervousness occasioned by l her youth and inexperience, sang— "Oh ! had I Jubal's lyre, "Or Miriam's tuneful voice!" in a manner that did honour not only to herself, but also to her tutor, Mr. White, and to her country. Miss Stephens' "Pious Orgies," as well as the air of "Let the bright Seraphim," and the two last lines of "If guiltless blood be your intent," en raptured the audience. Miss Wilkinson, in the air from Ran del's Oratorio.. of Sampson, beginning "Retu rn 0 G o d o f Hosts!" proved th at s h e had overrated her talents in requir ing two hundred guineas fur her services, when Miss Goodall was satisfied with seventy. Madame Caradori's " Chi per pieta nil dice " was heard with great delight this lady is more distinguished by sweetness than by power or execution."' Haydn's National Hymn, performed for the first time in this country from -die original score the wonjls written for the Yo r k s hi re F est i va l b y John Crosse, Esq., charmed as well by its novelty as by its nierit, and it is likely to become a popular National Anthem. The air, " 0 Liberty. ! thou choicest treasure," sung ty Mr. Sapio with exquisite taste and powerful execution, called forth a whisper of general applause, which the sacred edifice itself could scarcely prevent from bursting finch. The melancholy strain Of " Total 'eclipse; no son, no moon !" was chanted by - Brahani in his usual fine style. Miss Goodall manages her voice well ; but in the air, " He shall be born who the world shalt redeein," % there was more to admire in the rapidity of the execution than in the beauty of the sounds. From the instru mental department of this day's performance, we cannot with hold our unqualified praise ' • and of the s tupend ous c h oruses, they we r e a ll exce ll ent, and some of them perfectly sublime.— The new concert-room, said to be one of the Most elegant and .best adapted music-halls in Europe, as well as one of the most spacious, is to be opened this evening. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions commenced before the Right Ilon . the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriff's, and a full Bench of Aldermen. The RECORDER addressed the Grand Jury at considerable length :-11e was free to confess that it gave him great concern that the labours of the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury were likely to be extended to a considerable length of time; for, up to the time the calendar was made up for publication, there were 82 prisoners charged with crimes within the city of London, which . was at least one-fourth more than he ever remembered in the corresponding periods during his 40 years' experience. With a few exceptions, the charges were of that common description, with which they were, alas, but too familiar; therefore, in de ciding upon them, in all probability their intelligence and ex perience would most likely supersede the necessity of remarks from the Court. There was, however, one case on which he would make a remark, viz., maliciously killing 2 valuable horses. —Formerly the law did not deem this heinous offence% capital felony, unless it tVas proved that the offender was prompted to such a brutal act from a principle of malice against the pro prietor of the beasts or cattle which were maimed or destroyed. During the last s e s s io n o f P ar li ament the Legislature had judiciously passed a law which would prevent persons of this description from escaping (as many had done) with impunity ; the offence was now become % capital felony, and punishable as such. There were some cases which the calendar did not contain, one of which number would probably come be fore the Grand Inquest, and it' so, it would demand their serious attention. The Learned Recorder said lie alluded to a charge of combination, or unlawful conspiracy. In a country like England, this offence was not to be tolerated. Since the session before last the Legislature had very pro perly made an enactment which would render the common law of the land operative, so as, if possible, to annihilate the evil, or at least stern its torrent. Experience had shown that the offence to which he alluded had not only been subversive of order, and detrimental to trade and com merce, but i:s result had been stained by the foul crime of murder. Those conspiracies had not been confined to one element, but in some instances bodies of men had armed themselves, and attacked ships, &c., thereby preventing the orderly and satisfied mariner from doing his duty. He adverted to the occurrence of an illegal conspiracy which had taken place l years ago at The Tinics office, and which had been prosecuted with great spirit by the conductor of that jour nal. The offenders were convicted, and a severe punishment very properly followed, hut a punishment not more severe than just. The consequences were extremely beneficial, as conspi races of this nature were afterwards for a long time prevented. After the Learned Recorder had remarked upon the several other offences, he dismissed the Jury, expressing his confidence that the members of it would discharge their important duty in a manner which would prove not only satisfactory to themselves on reflection, hat also obtain for them the thanks of their fellow-citizens. The Cotnur afterwards tried one assault case, and heard a number of parish appeals not possessing the least interest. Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, the metropolis was visited by one of the heaviest showers of rain we ever remember to have wit nessed. In many parts the streets were, for a considerable time, rendered impassible. From the courts that empty themselves into Fleet. street, the water rushed clown in torrents, and in some of the houses in Holywell-street the lower parts we re flooded. Under the archway at St. Clement's Church the water was nearly six inches in depth. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. This day the General Session of Oyer and Terminer commenced before Mr. Baron GitAttAm, Mr. Justice GASELEE, and Mr. Justice LITTLE.. DALE, the LORD MAYOR, and usual City Officers. Samuel . Fernee was indicted for stealing a watch , and some money, the property of William Brown, servant to John Leverett, Esq. lie was acquitted. BURGLARY.— William Rippon the elder, and William RilTon the younger, were capitally in. dicted for burglariously entering the dwelling. house of Joseph Woolf, and stealing therefrom property to the value of 1001. and upwards. The prosecutor is a draper, and resides in Bedford. bury. On the night of the 23d of July last !Jo went to bed, having previously secured his house. On the. following morning, about four o'clock, he got • up, in. consequence of au alarm, and found his house .had been robbed. From the shop above one hundred yards of broad cloth had been. stolen. Ills house had been under repair, and part of the back of it was open. From information ,given by the , watchman, he suspected the prisoners, who lived near him. lie gave information at the Police Office, and Pac,., an officer, searched the prisoners' house, anti found part of the stolen property in the cellar. J. Bradley, servant to a cow keeper in the vicinity of t:te prosecutor's, proved that on the 24th July, the morning after the robbery, he went into bis master's barn-house, and found a quantity of Mr. Woolf's Property. A ladder had been removed and placed against the, back of Mr. Woolf's 'house. Rattenbury, a watchman, proved having given the alarm d:- scribed by the prosecutor, having previously seen the youngm prisoner and two ether lads at the back of his premises. A young . man named Hede proved a conversation with the younger prisoner, wherein he said that three persons named Flanagan, Redding, and David wen: in the robbery, and that he knew of it. Another witness proved h a vi ng seen t h e younger prisoner in company with the persons named, the day before the robbery. Thomas Pace, the officer, produced a chisel which corre sponded with the marks on the door. Woodbury, another officer, proved the apprehension of the prisoners, and produced the stolen property. • Philip Woolf, the son of the pkasecutor, said, that on the morning when the alarm was given he was stationed at the back of the house to watch the premises ; and he had not been long there before he saw the elder prisoner look out of a window of his house. Shortly after he heard the sound of voices in a back kitchen, and in a woman's voice—' They are on the • watch now;" and, i n a man's voice, as if ih reply, ' Let them • watch, we have got it safe enough." Here it was accompanied by an oath, and the witness believes the female voice was dust of the prisoner's wite, and the other voice that of himself. Cross-examined by Mr. BRODERICK—When I heard the voices I was in the Hop Grardens, about two houses from the prisoner's; there is only a cow-house between. Mr. fodder, keeper of Tothill Fields Brideweil, proved the committal of the younger prisoner on the 24th J uly to his ens. tody. Some days after, upon his application, witness gava him pens, ink, and paper, and he wrote a statement, that three persons, Flanagan Redding, and David, h a d ca ll e d upon him, and he wen t with them, and remained in the cow. house, while they rebbed Mr. Woolf's house. He, by their desire; concealed the stolen property in the cellar unknuwn to his father. For the defence, Henry Raddiffe'one of the elder prisoners lodgers proved having looked out of the window, .and seeing the witness Woolf on the watch ; he afterwards saw the elder prisoner come down stairs. Woolf recalled, persisted in his statement. • Other of the elder prisoner's lodgers proved th a t h e was not up until after six o'clock on the morning of the robbery, and several witnesses gate him a most excellent character. The Jury found the younger prisoner Guilty= Death; and the elder prisoner Not Guilty. • MERCANTILE SII DEAL, SEPT. 14.—Wind N.E.—Arrived and sailed for the River the British Monarch, Pearson, from Montserratt.

PALTRAORDINAIty FOSSILS.--A number of small vessels have for some time been employed at Harwich port in dredging for cement stones, which are found there in abund ance. In the course of this submarine investigation, some very curious specimens of p e t r if ac ti ons h ave been obtained. Within a few days a very beautiful fossil turtle embedded in a solid block of cement stone has been discovered. One .of the superintendents of the dredging vessels (Wakefield) states that a short time since, a large stone weigh ing about five cwt. was sent to London whole, and that he has since received a letter, informing him that when it was broken it was found to contain nearly the whole of a human skeleton ; and this almost incredible circumstance has been further cor roborated by a gentleman from London, who told him he had seen it. He has written for further information, and if it really be true, such a rare production must be of immense value.__ (Bury Gazette.) CORONERS INQUEST.-Yesterday an inquisi. tion was taken at the Unicorn public house, Frolywell-street, Shoreditch, before J. W. Uicwrx, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of Mr. Robert Bell, an oilman, in a respectable way of business in Shoreditch, whose death was occasioned by the conflagration of his house, early on Tuesday morning. —The Jury returned their verdict—" Accidental Death." A large vessel with four masts was spoken with off Dieppe, the evening of the 10th instant, sup posed to be the great timber ship from Quebec. It appears from the American papers that a compliment has been paid to the Liberator of Colombia and Peru, by giving the name of Boli var to a particular kind of hat.
