VAUXITALL—A superb fete was given last night in honour of the Duke of CLAukscr.'s birth-day. - The gardens were splendid in the extreme. The principal novelty was a display of fire works by Monsieur Ruggieri, artist to Charles the X. of France. The figures were similar to those exhibited on the oc casion of the Coronation of the French King. A line of battle ship discharging her guns. girandoles, and many luminous objects never before seen at Vauxhall, excited the admiration of tho numerous visitors assembled on this loyal and patriotic occasion. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sa rah Robinson did not leave town until this morning for Saltram, near Ply mouth. the seat of the Earl Morley. Among other on &its in the political world, it is rumoured that Earl Clanrickarde is likely to accept a distinguished official situation. We give this report as we have heard it, without vouching for its accuracy.—( Morning Paper.) J. Pringle, Esq. arrived yesterday at Thomas's Hotel,Berke [ ley-square, in 19 days from Moscow, charged with dispatches. Mr. Nightingale is the purchaser of the splendid estate of the late Sir Thomas Ileathcote at Embley, in the New Forest, for 118,0001., exclusive of the furniture and wines. The Worthy Estate, near Winchester, has been sold by Sir Charles Ogle to Colonel Wall, we understand, for 47,0001., exclusive of the farming stock and furniture. • On Monday se'nnight great rejoicings took place at Wal bottle Colliery (Northumberland), on account of the arrival of Mrs. Joseph Lamb and her infant son and heir, at Lemming ton Hall, the seat of Joseph Lamb, Esq. ' one of the principal proprietors of the above-named cllliery. The numerous work men were plenteously regaled with strong ale; and fireworks, music, &c. were the order of the evening. The greatest hila rity prevailed till a late hour. OXFORD, SUNDAY EVENlNG.—Extract of a private let ter :—" The Election of Town Clerk, which has excited so • much interest here, and amongst all Oxford men elsewhere, has ended. The state of the third day's (Saturday's) poll was as follows : For Mr. Roberson- - 784 For Mr. Taunton - - b 52 Majority in favour of Mr. Roberson —212 It was then asserted, by the friends of Mr. Taunton, that they would keep the poll open until Thursday ; but, this morning, Mr. Roberson received a letter from Mr. Taunton, stating that he declined further contest. Mr. Roberson will be chaired to morrow morning, at ten. More freemen voted at this Election than at the strongly contested one for Members of Parliament in 1820." Ma. OWEN.—This distinguished philanthropist has returned to town from Scotland, where he stopped but a few days, on his arrival from America. Lie breakfasted on Sunday with the London Co-operators' Society, at their house in Picket-street, and gave a most interesting account of his proceedings at Harmony. In his Prepara tory Community he has left nine hundred per sons ; and had, before he came away, applications for two hundred families besides, which he was not able as yet to receive, not having habitations for them. The Members of his Preparatory Com- ' munity have elected a committee, which manages the affairs of the establishment, and is-founding different manufactories. Next year there will he several other communities established on Mr. OwEN's lands, at Harmony.; The most enlight ened, as well as the operative and working classes of America, are all-falling into t he vi e w s of co-operation. Mr. OWEN, in his way through Scotland, visited the Co-operative Establishment at Orbiston, near Glasgow, which was begun in last March, and will be finished next October, and was highly pleased at the progress it is making. He intends to return to America in s ome months, and will probably revisit England next year. LITEIIAItY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. — 1 The public desire for acquiring scientific knowledge has of late been sufficiently demonstrated, by the establishment of Socie ties for the difrusion of literary an d sc i en tifi c information in various parts o the metropolis. At the London Society held at Albion Hall, .11loorgate, Dr. MIT caw—, last night, delivered an astronomical lecture descriptive of the heavenly bodies, which he illustrated from the celestial globe, explaining, as he pro ceeded, their respective positions in the firmament, and the practical importance of a knowledge of them in many relations of the business of life, in plain and expressive language stripped altogether of the technical terms, in which information upon this branch of study has usually been conveyed by the learned. The lecture was very well attended, and a laudible interest was evinced by the company to profit by the information conveyed in this popular and familiar manner. The ensuing TPEUI will produce several matters of interest in the Ecclesiastical Court. Preparations are making in the case of Lord PonTssfouTft to obtain nullity of mar riage, on the ground of lunacy. A worthy Member of the Cor poration of London, who some time since obtained damages, has also commenced proceedings in that Court for a divorce.

CHALLENGING A JURY.—An Irish Officer, not very con versant in law terms, was lately tried for an alleged assault.— As the Jury were coming to be sworn, the Judge, addressing the Major, told him, that if there were Any amongst them to whom he had any objection that was the time to challenge them. " I thank your Lordship," said the gallant prisoner, "hut, with your Lordship's permission, I'll .defer that cere mony till after my trial, and if they don't acquit me, by the pipe of Deinster I'll challenge every mcther's son of them, and have :em out too." _ • WAY OF CURING CAPRICIOUS SINGERS.—JOAN ABELL, a famous singer, and performer on the lute, in the 17th cen tury, ene day, during his stay at Warsaw, was requested by the King of Poland to sing at court.—Abell peremptorily re fused; and though it was intimated to him that he would pro bably suffer from the royal displeasure, he still persisted in de clining it, and sent the King an apology by letter. In answer to this, he received a regular summons to appear at a certain hour in the King's palace. Abell obeyed, and was presently forced to sit down in an arm chair that stood in the midst of a grand hall : no sooner was he seated, than the chair flew up with him to a great height. The King, with his whole court. now made his appearance on a gallery opposite to Abell, and at the same time, a number of wild ')ears were driven into the hall. The poor vocalist, almost dead with fright, was now ad dressed by the King, and was left to choose, either to sing in stantly, or to be let down and to await his fate among the un. ceremonious inhabitants of the desert. Which plait poor Abell took, it is needless to mention. STUTTERING.-Some ton years ago there was a person in London, who professed to have discovered an infallible treat ment for impediments in speech ; end he had the art of per suading many of his pupils that they vere cured, but how effec tively may be shewn by the followinc incident, which occurred in Staffordshire. A stammering genleman of rank and for tune, who had given this charlatan a trial in his own person, waited on the Hon. Mr. M., who laboured under the same de fect, when the following short dialogue took place : The Pupil.—l a, s, s, say, M, M, M—, w, why d, don't y. you g, g, go to 14, L, London, and g, g, get c, c, c, c, cured of y, your s, s, s, stuttering ;• I, I've b, b, been, and th, they've c, c, c, c, cured m, m, m, me.

GEOGRAPHICAL A CCURACY.—A story is told, maliciously perhaps, of a Member of a French Commercial Committee, who, during a late discussion on a treaty between France and the Netherlands, having heard a gentleman refer to former re lations between their • country and the United Province:, ex claimed with sonic peevishnes, " Stick to the question, Sir, what has it to do with America r DANCING.—The Chinese have odd ideas of this amusement. When Commodore Anson was at Canton, the officers of the Centurion had a ball upon some Court holiday. While they were dancing, a Chinese, who very quietly surveyed the operation, said softly to one of the party, " Why don't you let your servants do this for you ?" IVINCANTON.-A meeting . of landholders and other persons is about to he held atWINcANToN, to discuss the propriety of applying to Parliament for leave to bring in a Bill to authorize the construction of a rail-road, for the purpose of opening a communication between the Bristol Channel and Basingstoke. It is intended that the road shall commence at the mouth of the river Parrett, near Bridgewater, to run along Polden Hill, to Street, through l3utleigh to Reinton, to North Cadbury, illapperton, Wincanton, .Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Ilindon, Wilton, Salisbury, Andover, and Overton, to Basingstoke. TAUNTON.—On Visrednesday morning General PEACHY, and El ENnY MEnv - i - x BAYLEY, Esq., arrived in TAUNTON, for the purpose of canvassing the borough, as can. didates for its representation in Parliament. After shortly-an nouncing to the Electors their political sentiments, and stating • that they had been induced to present themselves in consequence of the invitation of a large portion of the Electors, the new can ciliates, attended by a number of friends, with blue favours, commenced an active canvass. Sir T. B. Lethbridge accom . . „ . panied them to the market-house, from which place those Gen tlemen delivered their address. Two Gentlemen have publicly requested the Electors to withhold the promise of their support till the arrival of Mr. A. Baring and Mr. Warn!, the sitting Me nbers. _ _ DEVIZES.-Thp Marquis of LANSDOWN pre sided last week at the Annivereury.Meeting of the DEVIZES Bear Club. Among the company present were—John Tylce, and William Tinker, Esqrs., ,the Vice-Presidents ; Sir .1., D. Astley, Bart. M. P., J. Pearse, Esq. M. P., J. C. Hobhouse, Esq. M. P., and upwards of 100 other Gentlemen resident in the town and neighbourhood. The dinner was of the most sumptuous description, no lees than four bucks and three tur tles having been presented on the occasion. Upon the removal of the cloth, a number of loyal toasts having been given fr om the chair, t he health of the Noble President was proposed in a neat speech by Mr. Hughes, and received with rapturous plau d.ts. The Noble 'Marquis returned thanks in a most eloquent speech. He noticed in the happiest manner the numerous public charities that adorned_ this country, and obtained for Englishmen an unparalleled character for benevolence and kind feeling. His Lordship entered more particularly into the im mediate object of the Institution, and pointed out the vast ad-. vantages arising to society from such a charity. Mr. Hob house, in returning thanks for his health being drank, observed that although amidst the troubles and turmoils of this life there prevailed throughout this country a difference of opinion upon most topics, yet happily, to its honour be it spoken, one senti ment alone prevailed on the subject of charity. The acknow ledged benevolence of Britons had placed this great and happy country proudly pre-eminent amongst the nations of the world. He had been a member of this club nearly 20 years, and being fully sensible of its inestimable benefits, and aware of its im- • portant advantages, he would continue to give it his most zealous support upon all occasions. air. W. W. Salmon, in return for his father's health being proposed by the Noble President, and drank with great applause, stated that his father had been a member nearly sixty years, during which time it had been the peculiar object of his life to promote the objects of the charity. Mr. Salmon then read the Report, chewing the improving state of the funds of the charity: 31 boys were now on the foundation, and ten had been clothed, educated, and apprenticed during the last year. This flattering report drew forth considerable applause. The company were del'ghted with some excellent songs, given with the happiest effect by Mr. Harrington, of Salisbury, a member of the club. The entertainment reflected the highest credit on Mr. Parsons. A feeling of unalloyed satisfaction prevailed among the company the whole evening ; and its harmony was closed by the whole assembly singing " God save the King," in compliment to the anniversary being this year held on his Majesty's birth-day. ‘Vadham Lock, Esq. of Rowde Ford, was chosen President for next year. WlNctiEsT En, A uG. 9.0.--The recent death of -" a Clergyman in this diocese, is likely to gi-e rise to sonic in- . teresting questions respecting - the grants of certain•offices in re version by the late Diocesan ; to the injury of the succession to the See, and tending to the establishment of a practice, as injurious, as it is discreditable, to the Church FORGERY IN '..IVEDEN. - At the end of last month sentence was passed at Odense on 31 persons accused of forged bank notes. The most guilty of them, Niels Nielsen Moller, was sentenced to death and loss of honour; six others to lose one hand, seven to hard labour for different periods, three acquitted, and 14 condemned to fine and imprisonments, and bread and water. Mt:.. ELLISTON.— f t is no longer a secret that the recent alarming illnesS of this Gentleman was in some degree owing to the surprize and de jection which he felt on being arrested .at the suit of Mr. KEAN, after the strenuous and per severing efforts which he had made to restore the latter to public favour, and had declared that he would adhere to him through life. Mits. HEstiNs.—The admirers of genius and worth will be glad to hear that this fair ornament of British Literature has a new Work in the press. It is additionally gratifying to know that as she is in the very prime of life, many fu ture works may be expected from her prompt an?l elegant Muse. The new Comedy of Roses and Thorns an nounced at the Haymarket Theatre, comes from the Author of Family Jars and of Fish oat of w a ter, and if he has ip his comedy given as . much scope to the ludicrous powers of LISTON as he has done in those popular farces, the pub lic may prepare themselves for no small degree of amusement.

His Majesty has been most graciously pleased to give his Plate of 100 gs. to be run for this and every future year. Our races take place on Thursday and Friday next, when it will be run for on the first day. Also the Weymouth Stakes of 25 sovereigns, with '2O sovereigns added by the Members. A plate of 50 sovereigns given by the Worshipful Mayor of Weymouth and Melcombe, and the Hunters' Stakes of three sovereigns, with 30 added by the Members for the Borough. On the se cond day, a Gold Cup of 100 sovereigns value ; the Weymouth Tradesmen Plate of 60 sovs.; the Members' Plate of 50 sovs., and the Ladies' Plate of 50 soya. From the exalted patronage thus bestowed on these Races, and from the number of first rate horses already named for the diarent valuable plates, together with the Regatta taking place in the same week, we have no doubt but the town will be filled with a brilliant as semblage of rank and fashion. Most Sportsmen must be perfectly aware that the season for shooting commenced, that is to say, for the red grouse, or moor game, on the 12th of this month, and this day (Saturday) for heath poults, or black game ; and although the sport cannot be enjoyed by us " Southern" to that degree of perfection it is in the more Northern parts, still there is just sufficient to put the true sportsman upon the qui vice for a shot at a head of game for the first time in the season. Many of the heath poults breed in all parts of the New Forest, on the manor of our. worthy County M. P., J. Fleming, Esq., and on Nctley Common ; but although the packs are more nu merous in this part of the country than they generally are, still they are not so. forward us the partridges , which exceed in numbers and strength of wing, the breed of birds for many seasons past, most conies containing from fifteen to twenty, and their flight is so rapid that they can not possibly be distinguished froth the old birds. Pheasants, if possible, exceed the breed of partridges, on most manors, the nides being almost double the number of the breed of last season; and there is also a great abundance of hares; and if great care be not taken with young dogs in the early part of 'the season, many very small leverets will be chopped, as the young does which were bred early in the season will very probably bring forth in September, owing to the very fine summer. Since the corn has been cleared, several quails have been four.d ; and snipes have been put up, one or two couples in a swamp, on the commons in this neighbourhood during the summer, which, from their tameness, and not daring to leave the place they were sprung from, evidently showed they were bred there. The high-mettled' fox-hunter will likewise experience very few blank days in the coming season, the litters of foxes being extremely numerous and strong.—( Southampton Town and County * Ha - aid, fr.

The Frankfort Papers state, that the epidemy amongst the cattle, in the Canton of Freyhurgt has assumed a more serious character. It attacks all descriptions of animals, and is so contagious and dangerous that the mere burying of the dead cattle is insufficient to guard against infection ; all the carcases are ordered to be burnt. FRANcFoaT, AUG. 14.—The arrest of soma persons at Leipsig has attracted great attention. These individuals whom the police has thought it necessary to arrest, were practisers of magnetism: they will be prosecuted in the criminal court. The proceedings have already commenced. In the Royal Court at Guernsey on the 6th inst., a circumstance came on which kept the Court in a roar. It was an action by Sophy Martin against Miss Ann Oliver, for the care and maintenance of three cats for nea. , nine months. Miss Oliver being obliged to go to London for some time, engaged Sophy to take care of her cats and feed them properly, for which she agreed to pay her two shillings per week. On her return in May last, Sophy brought in her account, amounting to 3/. I8s• 3d., which Miss Oliver disputed, *on the ground th a t Sophy had neglected the cats so much that two of them died a . long time before her return, and that she had also attempted to impose upon her, by substituting another tat instead of o ne of her own that died, and that this strange , Cat had been main tained at her expellee, and that she had some 'trouble to get rid of it after she came back. The bailiff and two of the judges were in favour of the plaintiff; and allowed her demand. The important question as to how far the Pariah of St. Sepulchre, in which St. Bartholomew's Hospital is situate, is bound to supply juries, and to sustai n the ex pences of the numerous Inquests continually being held there is likely to become the subject of legal inquiry ; as with a view to such result the Coroner yesterday issued his precept, direct ing the beadle of St. Andrew's, Holborn, which is situate in the same ward as St. Sepulchre, to summon a Jury for last night. The beadle, acting under the advice of the Church wardens, refused to comply with the precept, and in conse quence Mr. SHELTON declared V* determination to indict the beadle for the contempt at the ensuing Sessions. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. STEWART has returned from Canada, in consequence of the demise of the late Bishop, and is now supposed to be Bishop elect of Canada. The present Bishop of NovA SCOTIA is pre paring for his See, and is expected shortly to leave England with his Lady and family. As some workmen were levelling the ground at St. Mary de Lode's-square, in Gloucester, last November, on opening the spot where Bishop HOOPER was burnt, they discovered that part of the stake to which he had been fastened which was sunk in the earth. It was about three feet in length, and eight inches in diameter, and ap peared to have been an elm tree, with the bark on. On being exposed to the air, the greatest part mouldered to dust ; but some pieces were preserved. Tourists in all parts of the kingdom will find_ Gray's Book of Roads a very useful travelling com panion, possessing as it does, peculiar features of utility and ready reference ; its plan altogetlie no vel, and distinct from every other work on the subject. For instance, it brings into one point of view the various lines of route leading to any required point of distance ; and the index is so arranged as to enable a direct and immediate re ference to any required route, an important feature which has long been wanted in Iteneraries. Besides which, it contains several new lines of road, and much information relative to the roads, not to be found in any other work ; whilst the readiness of its arrangement, and its compression within the limits of a pocket volume, and accom modate it to all kinds of excursions, and render it an useful auxiliary to every other Road Book extant.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday afternoon, be tween five and six o'clock, a respectable looking woman, walk ing in the Tea Gardens at Chalk FarM, suddenly fell down and expired immediately. She was dresSed in genteel mourning, and was accompanied by an elderly latly, supposed to have been her mother, who remarked that the deceased was in excellent spirits and apparent good health when they left home a short time before merely for a walk. The body was taken into the house to await the Inqust. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN TOTHTLI,STREET.— Four Persons nearl,y killed.—Yesterday evening, about. five o'clock, a most lamentable accident took place in Tothill-street, Westminster, w hich, it is feared, will prove fatal to four unfortunate individuals. A number of bricklayers have been employed in rebuilding the houses that were lately destroyed by fire in the above street, and yesterday evening, at the time above stated, they were employed in their usual labours under a large stack of chimneys that were left stand ing since the fire, and more than once the neigh bours had occasion to remark On the dangerous state in which they stood; their predictions proved true, for in consequence of their being too much undermined, the whole mass of materials fell down with a tremendous crash, and buried un derneath four men, named Sowter, Hennessy, Fitzpatrick, and M'Call, all bricklayers. The groans of the sufferers were indistinctly heard from the ruin by their fellow-workmen, who instantly set themselves to work to dig them out, in which they after some time succeed ed. Sowter, who is the master bricklayer, was so severely injured that he now Les at his house in a very precarious state, Heim say, we are sorry to say, has his thigh/broken ; Fitzpa , trick is dreadfully injured in the spine, and many of his ribt are broken, and M'Call is dreadfully injured .about the head and neck. build ing The three latter sufferers now lay in th e West minster Infirmary in a very hopeless stat e.
