Maxwell Alexander, Esq. • PERTLISHIILE.—The contest for this County will, it is un derstood, be severe, and it is generally expected that the number of contests in Scotland will be greater than at any former election. BERWICK-will be fought desperately, as a very strong Tory party has been formed to carry the election. QUEENBOROUGII-it seems, will be the scene of great exertion, and Mr. Capel's friends are most sanguine that he will succeed. CANTERBURY.—The Candidates are Lord Clifton, Mr. S. Rumbold Lushington, and Mr. Morrison, a gentleman of large fortune and independent principles—extensively engaged in trade, and who, it is said, is admirably calculated to revive the Silk and Muslin Manufacture of Canterbury. DOVER.—The Candidates for this ancient Cinque Port, are Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, Mr. Butterworth, and Mr. Thompson. Hythe, and other places in Kent, are expected to be contested. LoNnoN.—The Candidates mentioned for the City are Mr. Wilson, Mr. Alderman Wood, and Mr. Alderman Brydges (the present Members), the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr. Alderman Thompson, and Mr. Alderman Lucas. Sir William Curtis, Bart., it is understood, retiree altogether from Parliament. Hartwrcll.—We are informed, that there is not any foun dation for the rumour that Mr. Canning retires from the House of Commons, and that Lord Clanricardc is to take a most important official situation in the Administration ! GUILDFORD.—This ancient and respectable Borough will be severely fought. The Candidates are, Mr. Sergeant Onslow, Mr. Wall, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Delap, and a Gen tleman who contested this place at the last election. StmaEu.t3t.—The Candidates for this Borough are Sir C. M. Burrell, Bart., the Hon. Mr. Howard and . Mr. Sag den the Barrister.—[The Correspondence of this latter Gentle man with a distinguished Peer forms the chief conversation at present in West Sussex !] LxWES.—T. H. Kemp, Esq. M.P. for Arundel, is now can vassing Lewes with extraordinary perseverance. WOODSTOCK—is expected to be warmly contested. The names of five candidates already appear on the lists—viz. the present Members, Mr. Langstone and Mr. Gladstone ; the Marquis of Blandford, Lord Ashley, and Mr. IP William, of Torrington-square, London. The latter Gentleman gave a splendid entertainment at the. Balloon Inn, on Tuesday last, to all the Freemen of Woodstock resident in Oxford. MAr.no)r.—This Borough will occasion a struggle little in ferior to the last contest for Essex. The voters are estimated at 1800. The new Candidate is Mr. Wilkes. TAUNTON.—Mr. Alexander Baring, in a letter to Sir Thos. Lethbridge, states, that the address to the Voters of Taun ton, which has been animadverted upon with much asperity by the rival candidates, was published without his knowledge.-- General Peachy and Mr. Baylay, in consequence, have pub licly stated, that the strong expressions used by them in repro bation of it, are inapplicable to Mr. Baring. ( To be continued.) WINCHESTER, Str•r. 10. The Rev. George Pretyman, LL. B. (second son of the Lord Bishop of 'Winchester), on Saturday last took posses sion, with the usual ceremonies, of the prebendal Stall, pre sented to him on the decease of the late Rev. C. A. North. We understand from authority, that the paragraph in our last week's paper (copied from another paper), stating that the Rev. R. Pretytnan, son of the Bishop of Winchester, had been presented to the livings of Alverstoke and Havant, Hants, vacated by the death of the Rev. C. A. North, is entirely with out foundation. V The Hampshire Law Society, held a dinner at the White Hart, in this city, on Tuesday last, which was attended by se veral of the most respectable professional gentlemen in the county. Staning's accommodation was highly satisfactory, and his wines good. The choice of Mayor of Winchester, is to take place on Monday, the 19th instant, when our present respected Chief Magistrate (Gyles King Lyford, Esq.) will terminate his Mayoralty. The intended successor is not yet known, — for, prior to a general Election,—there is always a cer tain degree of mystery in the proceedings of " the Cham ber" which is not known to the inhabitants of this ancient City, until after the Election. It is whispered, that at the General Election a preliminary objection will be taken to the Votes of the non-resident freemen, in order to ground a petition to the House of Commons to try the legality of them. It is not understood, that any contest is intended, with the Candidates who are the present Members—but merely the necessary formal measures will be adopted to carry into effect the wishes of the inhabitants at large, that this interesting ques tion may be put at rest. The following is an extract of a letter dated Port-au-Prince, July 26 :—" The President BOYER quitted " this place last night for Cape Hayden, with all his Staff, " Secretary of State, Secretary-General, &c. It is stated that " the people there are quite dissatisfied with the arrangement " with France, and fancy they have been sold." Cape Hay den, it should be recollected, was the seat of CTIRISTOPIIE'S Government; but fell into the hands of BoYErt, on the ter mination of the contest between them. It is the point, there fore, in which the popularity of the President is the least to be depended on for carrying him through a difficult crisis. • ~, , th „. nio DE JINEIII.O, JULY 4.—The v'eita, Cor bute, of London, which arrived here on 30th ult., was chased On the 29th May, the island of Bravo, Cape de Verd, bearing E.S.E. 80 leagues. by a very suspicious brig, much disguised, which fired into her, and after exchanging a few shots made off; she appeared to be about 160 tons, filled with men, and principally black. . KINGSTON, JAMAICA, JULY 27.—0 n the ISth instant a French vessel of war. arrived at St. Jago, last from Porto Rico, bringing Brigadier-General Francisco 11lay, the newly appointed Governor of St. Jago. He and his family were landed on the 19th, and was received with great respect by the public functionaries, as well as by the inhabitants generally. GENERAL VEPE.—Soine time ago 'a paragraph went the round of the Papers, stating that General PEP E died at Brussels. A correspondent received a letter from the General yesterday, in which he begs that the report may be contradicted.—(Morning Chronicle.) • A letter from La Gunyra of the 16th of July mentions, that two Spanish vessels laden with sugar had been captured by the Colombians and carried into that port. On account of the high price of that article the cargoes were purchased with great avidity by the inhabitants. The King of TuscAxy has addressed a letter to the Archbishop of PARIS, directing that a so lemn funeral service should be performed on the 16th inst. (Friday next), the anniversary of the death of Louis XVIII. The Prussian Government has appointed a Consul-General in America. M. SULZER, the agent of the Rhenish West India Company, re siding at Mexico, has been selected for this im portant post. Mr. BLOUNTand Mr.MoNTErto ttE,who were de puted with Mr. Medley by the'Provivincial Bank of Ireland to establish local banks in that country left Dublin on Wednesday last on their return to England, after having had an audience of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant at Malahide, on the day preceding their departure. During the stay of the Deputation in Ireland, they have established banks at Cork, Limerick, Cloumel, Waterford, Wexford, Newry, and Belfast. DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c.

The Duke of York arrived at Audley Rouse about three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, in his travelling-carriage and four, from the Pavilion, Brighton. Prince Easterhazy, the Autrian Ambasador, transacted busi ness yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. It would appear, from obvious circumstances, that the happy consummation, which has long been the subject of report, be tween a wealthy widow, desirous of a title,. and a Nobleman, recently advanced to a ducal coronet, will shortly take place, to the great joy of an expectant family.—( Morning Paper.) 1.

With such a powerful troop of Per formers, headed by General MATHEWS, and fol lowed by CooeEß, B4RTLEY, and Miss KELLY, and indeed the whole of the company, no more dramatic novelties are wanted. The Shepherd Boy, which proves so very at tractive at the English Opera House, is, we un derstand, the acknowledged production of Mr. A arvoin, the Proprietor. Miss GowAttn is one of the novelties of the season at the English Opera House, and she posse,;ses so much spirit as a❑ actress, and such talents as a singer, that it requires ".no skill in augury" to predict that she will soon appear on the Winter boards. The new Proprietors of the Adelohi Theatre nre sounding " the note of preparation," and it is expected that this minor campaign will not n little alarm the regular forces of the Patentees. We are sorry to hear that Mr. LEE, the late Stage Manager at the Adelohi, is not to resume his post, as lie was experienced and attentive in that de paitment, and also very respectable as an Actor. His Mayor in Rochester was au excellent per formance. Mr. T. P. Cooicr: has cancelled his articles at Covent-garden Theatre, by consent of parties, and has enlisted in the new Adelphi corps. Mr. CHA LES K Lux, says the Constitutionnet, has entered into engagements with some Parisian actors for the approaching season at Covent garden Theatre. A N ECD 0 T ES, &c. Lord 11 . , in the reign of King George the Third, in conversation with his friend GEORGE SELWIN, observed, that he had at first taken the road el ambition ; but, being overwhelmed by the gigantic powers of William Pitt, afterwards Lord Chatham, he then devoted himself to the acquisition of wealth, and had acquired a vast fortune, but expressed his apprehension that the extravagance of his two sons would reduce him to beggary. " Oh ! that can easily be prevented," said George Selwin, "come upon the county, and swear that you were robbed between sun (son) and sun (son)." LONDON UNI ERSITT.—::_s an Institution of this description has been proposed and some measures have been adopted for its establish ment, the opinion of Dr. J (HINSON on the subject is peculiarly applicable at present : " Neither a capital city," says the Doctor, " nor a town of commerce, is adapted for the purposes of a Col lege : the first exposes the students too much to levity and dissoluteness, the other to gross luxury. In one the desire of .knowledge gives way to tl►e love of pleasure, and in the other there is danger i❑ yielding to the love of money." CAUSE AND EFFECT.—The LORD PROTOST of a. certain renowned city of the north, whose daughter had the felicity to be 'married to a worthy gentleman of the name of Baird, one day entertained at his house a select party of friends. After dinner an easy chit-chat ensued, which happening to turn on the singularity of surnames, the Provost, willing to astonish his guests, said, " Gentlemen, my grandmother ,was a Husband, and my mother was a Man," (the maiden name of the one lady was Man, that of the other Ilus band.)—" Why, in that case," Observed the late Dr. Gregory, who was present," we may the less wonder, Sir, at your daughter having got a Baird."' JEWEL, BISHOP OF SALISBURY.-This prelate was so remnarka►ble for his power of memory, that he could readily repeat any thing that he had penned, after once reading i.. It was his prac tice never to begin committing his sermons to heart till the church bells began to ring ; and so firmly did he retain what he learned, that he used to say, that before a thousand auditors, shouting or fighting all the while, he could deliver what ever he had provided. WIT BY THE WAYSIDV.—In the neighbourhood of Hoddam Castle, Dumfriesshire, there i s a tower called Repentance. A pleasant answer of a shepherd's boy to Sir Riot Ann STEELE, founded on the name of this tower, is ;elated. Sir Richard having observed a boy lying on the ground, and very attentively reading his Bible, asked if he could tell him the way to Heaven ? " Yes Sir," answered the boy," You must go by that tower." POETRY. TO A LADY.—(Set to Music.) If Music's breath can give a charm to vtords, Which feebly speak thy beauty's witching Spell, Oh ! let some Minstrel touch th' impassion'd chords, And tell for me what I may never tell. Then haply one soft trembling drop shall dim Those eyes, and in thy breast one tenderer thrill, Shall wake a pardoning, pitying, sigh for him Who loved—alas! perhaps, who loves thee still !

HUNGERFORD REGATTA. • Several parishes on the banks of the Thames have lately been in the habit of making prizes for watermen, with a view of premoting the activity and indu s try o f th at class. Yesterday the third annual wherry, given by the Ladies and Gentlemen of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, was rowed for in three heats, by eight pair of oars belonging to Hungerford Stairs. The fol lowing were the rowers : J. Parry . 1 Scarlet. W J. Micfelt - I Black. J. Fagen - ' i ''' . Moody - T. Votkin - Pink. W. Emery - 1 C. Dull s Blue. C.Dodd-- 1 Catmore W. W T. Danford . 1 ') J. Davis J. Brand : W. Butcher f Green. 1 White J. Reynolds 1 Oran f J. Jones - i Yellow. ' G: Butcher .ge . The boats were to start from the buoy off Hungerford Stairs, row round the Police-vessel at Strand-lane, pull to the Speaker's house at Westminster, and return to the Prize-wherry at Hungerford.—The first and second boats, of two heats, were only to start for the third or grand heat. They started about two o'clock, and the first heat was gained by Blue and Yellow. The second was remarkable for a very close contest between Orange and Pink. Those boats came 3n first and second.—The third heat, Which was to decide the wager, was maintained with great spirit by the four winning boats, viz. Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Pink.—ln the last contest the men, who were all strong and regular watermen, pulled against wind and tide with rapidity seldom seen on the River ; Orange, however, maintained superiority, and won the prize, which appeared to be a very handsome boat.—Bands of music were stationed on the water, and the bells of St. Martin's increased the spirit of the regatta. The other boats received smaller prizes. The following letter is published in the file of he London Gazette for 1745; it is from the Lords of the Admiralty to the Commissioners of .he Navy : " Gentlemen—His Majesty having been pleased in Council to sign an order, desiring and directing us to sign a bill on you, for paying unto Sir Andrew Fountain, lint., warden of his Ma jesty's the sum of 1001., for enabling him to provide a medal and chain of that value, for Richard Hornby, master of the ship Wrightson and Isabella, as a reward to him for his good service, in not only defending the said ship, whose crew consisted of but fire men and three boys, from a French priva teer of 75 men :;but also by firing a shot in the stern of the pri vateer, whereby she blew up, and all her crew perished ; and as an encouragement to others under the like circumstances, to exert themselves in the defence of their ships, and the destruc tion of the enemy ; and you are likewise to pay a bounty of 51. to each of the five men, and 40s. to each of the three boys, be longing to the said ship. We are, &c." There has just arrivpd at London, on board the George and Ann brig, Colonel PISA, from Gilboa. to which place he was conducted by a detachment of Spanish cavalry.—. This martyr to liberty, who has served with such Spartan con fidence, has suffered, during twenty months' imprisonment, the most severe torments. Three months he received nothing but bread and water, and several times he was on the point of suffering death. He is indebted for his life to Mr. NEL SON, the Minister of the United States at Madrid ; to Mr. APPLETON, Secretary of legation of the United States at Lon don, and to the Countess of VILLANforrrE, one of the first class of Spanish nobility. His accusers were M. Duaso, Chaplain to the King of SPAIN, Member of the Secret Cabinet of his Majesty, and editor of the Madrid Gazette; M. CARMEN Rowcam, one of his Majesty's secret advisers; M. AGUDO, and M. LORENZO Rossi, a Florentine; Colonel PIsA was sent out of Spain by a decree, for the purpose of the Alcades, dated Madrid, July 2, 1825, he being a Neapolitan subject. The Will of the late HENRY FOSELI, Esq. Keeper of the Royal Academy, was proved in the Prerogative Court in Doctors' Commons, on the 7th inst. _by the oath of John Knowles, Esq. of the Navy Office, one of the executors. It is dated the 21st November, 1822. All the property is left to his wife, Sophia Fuseli ; it is sworn under 6,0001. Robert Balmanno, Esq.is nominated as the other executor. IMPORTANT FACTS.-We derive the follow ing brace of important facts from recent American Papers, viz.:—that General LA FAYETTE has been made a Doctor of Civil Laws by one of the United States Universities, and that lie has recovered his 4rold.headed cane !

She was last heard Of on the 21st ult. Lisbon, bearing S.E. 25 miles, ard going at the rate of 8 miles an hour. The following is Capt. Johnson's own account of his voyage up to that date Enterprise, Aug. 21. " We left Falmouth on Tuesday evening, Aug. 16, at seven. o'clock, with the wind from the westward ; and at 10 o'clock I took my departure from the Lizard Lights, and shaped a course directly for Cape Ortegal. We are now about seven miles to► . the northward of Lisbon. After leaving the Lizard, we Lad moderate breezes, accompanied by a very heavy swell from the west, but the lugs kept her steady, and eased the engine, which on their beingg, set, increased its velocity from 20 to 24 strokes in a minute. On Friday it blew a hard gale from the eastwar;l ; we were weathering for eight or nine hours in the most disad vantageous position, with the sea right a-beam : here the spend ings were of great use, in keeping; off the sea, which they did most effectually. We made Cape Ortegal at 10.30. with a fresh S.W. wind a-head. We are going seven knots : the engines have never ceased since Tuesday. I shall keep the steam up till I reach the Trades, I hope on Tuesday next, when I shall be prepared with good sails, to take advantage of the wind,_ All hands are well and highly delighted. P.S. Sunday, 10 a. m. Lisbon S.E. 25 miles, going eight knots." MIDDLESEX S ESSI NS.—('f ins DAT.) CHARGE OF RIOT. Henry Adams and John Dilly surrendered on an indictment against them and four others who did not appear, charging them with having, on the 23d March last, illegally caused a riot in the Parish of St. Ann, Liniehouse. Mr. ADOLPIIIJS stated the case to the Jury, as proved by several witnesses, from whose general testimony it appeared. that a man, named Jonathan' Saul, held a house and shop in Limehouse-causeway, where he carried on the business of a butcher. The house was held in law by a person named Barker, and the lease being expired, he, en the morning named in the indictment (having previously uttered a threat to that effect), in company with the two defendants, one of whom, Dilly, is a constable, came and commenced pulling the house down about the ears of Mr. Saul's sister, who was in a very advanced state of pregnancy, and succeeded in their object, against all remonstrance, having, in the course of devastation, destroyed about 30/. worth of meat which hung in the shop; for this injury the indictment was found. Mr. ALLEY took an objection to the indictment, contending that no riot vas proved. _ Considerable legal discussion arose upon the point of law, and the Court held the case was not one of the kind with wh'ch the Court had any particular jurisdiction, and consequently the defendants were acquitted. PUBLIC PUNISIINIENT.—OII Saturday mot 11•134 last Daniel Leveridge, Henry Oliver, Henry Barton, Pla!lip Ward, and Thomas Driscoll, all convicted, at the last April and May Sessions, of uttering base and counterfeit coin, und r_ went their second public whippings, in the presence of the Sheriffs and their Officers, and a very large crowd of spec tators, at the House of Correction, in Coldhath„fieltlx. 'The punishment was not a nominal one, and the convicts ap peared to feel very sensibly both the degradation of their situations and the pain of the flagellation. There are se veral persons undergoing their sentences of imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, for various terms, for the like offence, but who were spared the disgrace of a public whipping, in the hope that, as these are their first of fences, they may be led to reform, and become useful members of society, instead of being held out as examples to others. That these men, however, might know the nature of the punishment which will undoubtedly be inflicted on them, in case they arc a second time convicted of this crime, Mr. Vickery, the Governor of the prison, very considerately ordered them to be placed in a situation from whence they viewed the whole proceedings; and M r. Sheriff Brown afterwards said a few words to them, expressive of his hope that they would be taught, by the scene they had just witnessed, to abstain in future from crime. and seek their living by honest industry. We were happy to learn that the cor poral punishments which have been inflicted on such as have been convicted, and the threatening denounced of a similar sentence upon all who shall be convicted in future of the crime of uttering bad money, have been very useful in diminishing the crime. It is an offence of a peculiarly aggravated nature, as it implies deliberation, and the parties chiefly injured by it are the poor who can least afford it. THE MURDER OF JOHN GUY.-This morning a young man named William Milan alias Tallow, against whom the Coroner's Inquisition returned a verdict of Wilful Murder, in having killed a man named John Guy, a carter, in a pugilistic rencontre in Jews'-row, Chelsea, about G weeks since, was put to the bar of Queen's-square office, before Mr. Mark land and 11r. Gregorie, Magtstrates,on the . Coroner's war rant. The prisoner is a young man, about 20 years of age, and has been living since the committal of the alleged crime in Castle-lane, Jews'-row, Irlsea, and from the c i rcumstance of the whole of the police being on the look dirt for him, to gether with the remorse he felt at being accused of the murder, surrendered himself this morning to Pople and Handley. the officers, for the purpose of taking his trial at the ensuing Ses. sions. He was accordingly committed. The inhabitants of the Metropolis will, it is said, soon be astonished by the sight of a balloon, which has been so constructed as to be guided in the air. The inventor intends to go up himself, and to take a given journey of 50 miles and back in the same day. At the Chester Assizes, William .Leighton, for picking pockets, at Congleton, was sentenced to be transported fbr life.—The prisoner, on sentence being passed, in the most audacious manner, called out to the Judge, and snapping his fingers, said, " 1.11 toss you, hang or quit." On MOnday, as an inmate of the west-kirk poorhouse was being carried to the grave, the coffin had been so carelessly constructed, that it fell to pieces, and exposed the corpse, which had to be carried by porters to the church yard almost quite naked, when it was thrown in, and hastily covered with earth. —(Stirling Journal.) A seaman belonging to the Windsor Castle, of bad character, and one who was considered to disgrace his Ma jesty's Navy, after various means had been tried to reclaim him, was, on Thursday last, drummed out of the Fleet. This `imposing ceremony was performed by the culprit being placed in the ship's boat, with his hands tied before him, a halter about his neck, and a paper, on which was described his of fence, fastened to his back, and rowed alongside every man of war in our harbour, the drummers in the boat s . 4eetly sere nading him with the honourable air, the " Rogaw's March."— After he had gone through this pleasing round, h was landed at Mutton Cove, with his paraphernalia, amidst the laughs and sneers of a great number of persons assembled.—( Devonshire Freeholder.)
