On Monday Mr. HENRY statox trs, the Mayor, gave his farewell dinner on retiring fro", office_ The liberal hospitality, uninterrupted - attention, and sound con stitutional principles by which this gentleman has distinguished himself, have rendered hint the object of general esteem and respect. There were present about 250 persons, comprising a great number of the most eminent inhabitants of the county ; amongst the company we observed Lord Stowell, E. F. Mait land, Esq., High Sheriff, R. Palmer, Esq., Member for the county, Sir .John Cope, Bart., Sir H. Russell, Bart., Admirals Dundee and M•liellar. C. F. Palmer, Esq. M.P., J. B. Mond:, Esq. M.P., the Rev. R. H. Dukinfield, &c. &c. The dinner was excellent and abundant, and the evening was passed in convivial enjoyment, heightened by the tributes of regard paid to men remarkable for worth and talent, without so much cere mony indeed, but perhaps with far more sincerity, than on less joyous occasions. The Musical Festival was celebrated here yesterday, under the direction of Mr. Binfield, of this town, whose taste, skill, and assiduity, have been long known and highly appreciated. The conductor was Mr. Bilson Binfield ; the leader, Mori ; the orchestra was composed of able and effi cient performers; the principal singers were Mr. Vaughan,• Miss Stephens, and Miss Goodall. The Festival was held in Saint Lawrence's Church, which was completely crowded, and principally with ladies genteelly and taste fully dressed. The selections, which were chiefly from Handel- present nothing of novelty to the London Reader. Miss Staphens and Mr. Vaughan sang with their usual ability, and Alias Goodall surpassed every thing we had befOre heard from her. In articulation and expression she is astonishingly improved, and some of her passages were delivered with a spirit and feeling which produced a powerful effect. In the course of the performances a Selection was introduced front a MS. Oratorio by Mr. Bilson Bintield, the words from Martian's Martyr of Antioch, a poem in which are to be found souse of the noblest lyric effusions in our own or any other language. Mr. Mixon Binfield is, we believe, not more than 20 years of age, and, as the work of so young a composer, the specimen of his powers given on Monday is of the most promising descrip tion. Some parts were highly effective, some bore strong marks of originality, and the rest of the composition was judiciou , , and not chargeable with any thing like that obvious plagiarism in which composers, even of established reputation, but too often indulge. In the evening a concert and ball were given at the Town-hall. The attendance was splendid and numerous. There were nearly 1,000 persons present. The performers were the same as in the morning. The music was all of well-known excellence, and was selected with a proper attention to variety. The pieces which produced the greatest effect were .Auld Robin Graf„ by Miss Stephens; A Doze in Terror Flying, by. Miss H. Cawse; and Concertos by Mori and Lindley- on the violin and violoncello. Dancing commenced almost immediately after the concert: and at one o'clock a capital Supper was served in a room on the lower part of the Hall. The favourite amusenient of the ladies was then resumed, and continued until a late hour in the morning. The whole affair passed off with uninterrupted regularity and good humour. Yesterday morning the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Feodore, arrived at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington, in a carriage and four from Claremont, where her Royal Highness is staying on a visit to her broiler, Prince Leopold. The Royal Duchess returned to Claremont in the afternoon. The Duchess of Coburg is slightly indisposed at Claremont with a cold. The Duke of York arrived in town on Tuesday, from the Duke of Rutland's seat in Derbyshire. This day his Royal Highness was expected to go to Brighton. Mr. Secretary Canning is expected on a visit to Portumna Castle, County Galway, the seat of his son-in-law, the Earl of Clanricarde. (Belfast Chronicle.) The Duke of Norfolk arrived a few days since at his seat Arundel Castle, Sussex, from a tour. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday, at 4 o'clock, was married by special licence, Ernest Comte de Gersdoff, to the Hon. Maria Llizabeth Twisleton Fiennes, only daughter of Lord Say and Sele. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold honoured the ceremony with his presence, and gave the Bride away. The Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the Marcilione of Waterford, Count and Countess Munster, Baron Maltzalir, Mrs. Cuthbert, Lady Say and Sele, the Hon. Mr. Twisleton, Sir Culling and Lady C. Smith, were also present. Lady Charlotte St. Maur, Lady Sarah Beresford, Miss Bentinck, Miss Cuthbert, and the Misses Culling Smith, were the Bride's Maids. The ceremony was performed by the Very Rtv. the Dean of Carlisle. We regret to say that Lord Say and Sele was unable to attend the ceremony, not being sufficiently recovered from his late illness. The Bride and Bridegroom left town im mediately in their travelling carriage for Belvidere, the beau tiful villa of Lord and Lady Say and Sele. FETE AT STAMFORD HlLL.—Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. ROTHSCHILD gave a grand entertainment at their superb villa, at Stamford-hill, in compliment to the Barons, his brothers.— To the dinner were invited a numerous party connected with the Foreign Diplomatic Corps. Thirty covers were laid in the great eating-room, as it is called. In the evening the house and grounds were illuminated. On Tuesday last the Lord Mayor, who is a member of the ancient Corporation of Kingston, .gave a very elegant enter tainment to that body at the Mansion-house. Upwards of 50 sat down to dinner, amongst whom were Mr. Denison, Member for the county of Surrey, the Bailiffs and the Recorder of Kingston, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Spicer, the Rev. Mr. Williams, and several other Magistrates in the County. The principal city-officers were in attendance in full uniform, and the whole entertainment was conducted in such a manner as showed the high estimation in which so respectable a body was held by the Chief Magistrate. Professional singers of eminence were en gaged, and the most expensive and delicious wines were most abundantly drank by the Corporation, many of whom are per fectly conversant in the minutize of civic luxuries. The even ing was spent in the most convivial manner, and the guests, in the manner of the ancient members of ancient corporations, ex pressed on their departure their high sense of the exertions of the Lord Mayor of London to please them. ANECDOTES, &c. PULTEIREY EARL Or BATIL—The late Duke of LEEns Telated that when he was a very young man he assisted Lord Bath, who was very infirm with the gow, in going down stairs at St. James's Palace. " Thank you, young gentleman," said the Earl, " I assure you 1 have had more difficulty in getting down these stairs than I ever had in getting tip." CAPABILITY BROWN.—This ingenious man, who was well known in the last and former reign for his taste.in the arrange ment of pleasure-grounds, acquired the epithet by which he was distinguished, for having, whenever he was consulted on the subject, always said that the place had " capabilities." One day as he was helping the late Earl of Chatham into him coach, the Earl having entered said, with an air of lofty cour-• tesy, " Thank you, Mr. Brown; now, Sir, go and adorn your country." Brown, assuming the same dignified manner, im mediately answered, " Go, Sir, and save it." Ulna. MoNT.touE.—This learned lady, who was the intel ligent author of the admirable " Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakspeare," notwithstanding her admirable taste in literature, had so little in dress, that she always appeared in such a gaudy variety of colours that the great Lord Chesterfield always mentioned her by the name of Iris. A lady in Kent asked her gardener why the weeds always outgrew and overran the flowers ? " Madam," answered the gardener, " the soil is mother to the weeds, but only step mother to the flowers." THE 1-1 INDOOS have a great respect for anything fat, which they consider a peculiar blessing of Providence. A native writing to a collector, who was rather tun-bellied, and wishing to convey, in the usual servile style, his sense of this fine qua lity, rummaged a dictionary to help out his imperfect know ledge of English, and began a letter thus :—" Enormous Sir ! May it please your Enormity!" Aura) ROBIN GRAT.—We lately copied from an English paper a paragraph, claiming this exquisite melody as the production of the Rev. Mr. beeves, rector of Urington, Somersetshire. This is a mistake, whether originating with the Reading Mercury, the paper alluded to, or the Rev. Mr. beeves, we do not pretend to know. It is well known in Scotland that the beautiful ballad alluded to, was written by Lady Ann Lindsay, an accomplished Scottish lady, sister to the Earl of Balcarras.—(Edinburgh Observer, Aug. 30.) SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday, in Wilkes street, Spitalfields, as one of the loaded drays belonging to Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co. was coming from the brewery, it drove against a poor woman who was sitting at an oyster-stall by the pavement side, who, endeavouring to evade the danger, fell under the wheel, which passed over her head, and killed her on the spot. The poor creature had a young child in her arms, which escaped. The sufferer's head was crushed to pieces. She was removed into a house near to which the accident happened. §PQRTING INTELLIGENCE, TUNBRIDGE WELLS .11A.01. - --FutsT DAY! : . . The • Manor' BOW: of 50 sov. flets, three miles and a 4ist.

SAILING MATCH.—SEcoND CONTEST'. The Sailing Match for a Silver Cup. and Cover,given by the Members of the Thames Yacht Club, haying failed on Tuesday, !a renewal of the contest took place yesterday. A light breeze from the South-east was felt about thre? o'clock. and the pleasure • vessels entered to sail, started from Blackfriars with a better chance of getting to Wansworth Meadow titan they -had the day preceding. It was a leading wind to Chelsea, and aimost fair the rest of the distance. The boats were to sail to Wandsworth and back to Cumberland Gardens ; tile first coining to the Gardens was to gain the Cup, which appeared a very handsome piece of plate. It was exhibited in the stern of the barge rowed by the Members of the Yacht Club. .Soon after the wssels 'made sail, the Venus took the lead, followed by the . Fortitude and Royal Eagle. The progress of each was slow. It was drifting with the tide. they, however, 'all got to Wandsworth, and the greatest efrbrts were made coming, back. It was necessary to tack and beat to windward. In these evo lutions, which marked the skill of the contending parties, the Lady- Louisa gained considerable advantage ' and finally cam , ., in first at Cumberland Gardens; followed by the Spitfire and Sylp. We are not enablea to say the ,Lady Louisa gained the prize. A dispute. arose. It was alleged that running to lee ward she got aground, and in that state one of her iileu leaped overboard and pushed • her off. This 1-s considered a viola tion Of the sailing regulations, and consequently invalidated•the claim, of the cumin:ll , er of the Cap. In answer to that charge, it was said she did not put a man overboard, but threw out an anchor andliauled This point was not settled last nialit % - and although the Cup' was claimed by the Lady Louisa, it .remained a question whe ther she was fairly - entitled to it. • With respect to the niatck, there was riot wind enough to make it remarkably interesting. There was a numerous flotilla of boats. All the Cutter Companies attended on the occasion, anxious to witness the triumph of - their it•iends who were en. gaged in sailing. lc was I; o'clock when th 4 Lady Louisa came in. She was received with cheers of approbation. LAM BETH REGATTA.. The inhabitants of. Lambeth, 'willing to entourage honest industry, have given annually during some vearS a very hand some wherry and other prizes, to be . rowed ''for by watermen plying at Lambeth.stairs: The prize is contested by ,six pair of oars, and the day on which the wager is decided is generally distinguished by much sport and merriment. Flags are this. played from the White Lion Tavern in Palace Yard. 13ands of music stationed in various partS, arid refreshment provided in abundance • it is, upon the whole,. scene of sport and amusement which attracts many spectators. The prize was to haVe been rowed for on Monday, but in consequence of the rain the match was put off to yesterday. Between three and four o'cloCk the men who had been entered to row took their station at Westminster Bridge -ready to girt for.the first heat ; they were to row to Nind Elms and back toUnteth-Stairs, the three boats winning the first heat were to row nearly the same distance for the wherry. The men who won the first heat were Allen and Mansfield, Noulton and Rolls, Richards and Wyld. In the last contest, which decided the wager, Allen and Mans field were victors, and gained the wherry. After the winners had landed, their well4.arned prize was carried on shore. They, were loudly cheered, and their merry .companions celebrated the triumph with dancing, singing, and mirth. .Much praise was bestowed on the good folk; of Latnbeth, who had so liberally subscribed to encourage 'dexterity in a class of men to whom the public often entrust their safety. ROWING MATCH. A great attraction was created on the River on Tuesday, by the rowing match for 100 sovreigns, a sweepstakes between Captain Smithson, of Ditton, and igessrs. Arnot and Hutchin son, all expert at aquatic sports. The distance was front the red mill, Battersea, to a boat moored off Twickenham. 31r. Arnot took the lead, and was first through Putney-bridge,when Capt. Smithson cut out the work, soon got a-head, and kept it the whole distance. lie won the match by more than 300 yards. BLACKFRIARS REGATTA. A prize wherry, and other prizes, given by the inhabitants of Farringtlon Within, was rowed for .on Tuesday by 12 free watertnen, belonging to Blackfriars-stairs. The prize was won by Matthews and Ter.sdale, by two lengths. TOWER REGATTA. Yesterday afternoon the annual wherry, value 24/. given by the inhabitants of Tower Ward, was rowed for by six water men of the Tower-stairs, in three heats, which were well con tested, and finally won by Gilbert, • beating his opponent.— Chigwell was close upon Gilbert's quarter. Such was the crowd of persons assembled at the Tower stairs, to see the boats come in, that upwards of twenty persons - were pushed off' the wharf, and tell a distance of near ten feet. Several were slightly hurt, but fortunately it was low water, or the consequences might have been very serious. CRICKET. One of the finest Cricket Matches ever played in that part of the kingdom, took place at Teignbridge on Tuesday. Two elevens were selected from the Teignbridge, Exeter, and Sid mouth Clubs, with two officers of the Tenth Ilussars. The play commenced at eleven, but the second innings were not half concluded before night put an end to the sport. It is highly pleasing to find the noble, manly game of cricket making such progress in the West of England. On Friday last the return match of cricket between the Bury and Newmarket Clubs was played, and decided as follows: Bury, Ist innings - 188 Newmarket, Ist innings 55 ; second ditto, 37 112-76 On Monday last the return match at cricket was played on Midsummer-common, between 11 gentlemen of the Biggles wade Club, and 11 of the Union Club, in Cambridge, and won by the latter by a majority of 24 runs.

Among the wonders of the present day is an extraordinary lady, who has chosen to walk from Scotland to London, bare foot. She is very lady-like in her manners and dress, and is endowed with all the comforts of life, as to fortune at least. When she arrives at an inn, she changes her walking-dress for fashionable silks and satins. The Buenos Ayres Mail gives an account of the safe arrival in the River Plate of the ship Norval, from Glasgow, with nearly 200 settlers on board, for Mr. litanca BEAUAIONT'S land, on the River Plate ; they all appeared in excellent health and spirits. ADULTERATED PROVISIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six—The just . indignatiou, which, in com mon with the public, you have expressed co' the cruel. and abominable practice of Adulterat inf.; Provisions, induces me to ask you, or any of your legal correspondents or readers, how the wretches are to be punished who are, or may be, detected in the , infernal practice, now the Pu.- Loa Y is laid aside ? The statute, 51st of Henry 111. sec. 6, and the ordinance for bakers, cap. 7, were enacted to prevent the sale of such provisions—" Cor rupted wine—contagious or unwholesome flesh— or flesh that is bought of a Jew, under pain of amercement for the first offence, Pir.holly for the second, fine and imprisonment for the third, ' and banishment fromthe town for the fourth!— . Oh, for the PILLORY again, that some of the worthy Alderman's farmers and rotten sheep caterers for the poor of London, might get twine and a taste of rotten eggs at Covent-Gar den Market ; and, like tl►e filthy brutes of old times, leave their ears behind them, after their hour's turning in the Pillory ! Oh, for the days of good Queen Elizabeth again, the times of no mawkish (mistaken) hu n►ane sentiments, in whose golden reign 38,000 vagabonds, who were not half so criminal as the Alderman's rotten sheep farmers, had their necks stretched in England, while thousands of pairs of ears graced the Pillory in Smithfield. Oh, for the Pillory again !—Good STATEsstEx, send us the Pillory again, else we shall all have the sheep rot—worse than the King's Evil ! The Pillory, the Pillory ! or rotteu mutton ! and all sorts of disease. I am, Mr. Editor, yours truly, A MUTTON EATER IN DISTRESS. Temple, August 25. [Our Friend, " A MUTTON EATER tY DIS.

The packet has brought home dispatches from Admiral HAL. sTED, on the Jamaica station. Miss RowcROFT, (laughter of tl►e late Consul General for Peru, has arrived passenger by this packet. MISS PATON.—It may be fairly said of this popular favourite that she would make a distin guished figure on the Stage, as a comic actress, even if she did not possess such pre-thinent musical powers. The Daily Prints, we are glad to find, cease to persecute her on a subject which, after all, is nothing to the public, but which, we are persuaded, will in due time be developed to her credit. As a proof of the esti mation in which she is held by the theatrical community, we have only to look at the prepa rations for her benefit night, where we find that BRAIIAM, COOPER, BROADHURST, THORNE, BARTLEY, Miss HAMILTON, Miss GOWARD, and that admirable ac:ress Miss KELLY, are all in amicable array to give attraction and eclat to the occasion. Mr. KEAN made his appearance at Manchester last Saturday evening in the part of King Richard the Second, in the play, and Baron Willinghurst, in the farce of Of Age To•morrote.--This was his farewel performance previous to his depar ture for America. lie is to leave Liverpool in a few days for the United States. Being called for by the party in his favour, after he had re tired, he returned to the Stage, and made a very long speech in defence of his conduct, in the course of which he was not sparing in his stric tures upon Statesmen, Bishops, and even the Throne itself. This rhapsody, however, was re ceived with great applause, and he retired amidst the shouts of his admirers. T. P. CooKE, the hero of Melo Drame, and REEVES, the comic actor, are engaged by TERRY and YATES to perform at the Adeiphia Theatre. We are extremely sorry to announce the death of FRANCIS JONES, Esq. of Brunswick-square, a solicitor of considerable practice, which took place at eleven o'clock yesterday morning,in con sequence of the great injuries which he sustained in the New Road, near St. Pancras New Church, by his chaise coming in contact with a coal-wag gon ; the violence of the shock threw him out of the chaise, and the wheels passed over him. lie was conveyed to Messrs. Bagster and Pretty's, Mabledon-place, surgeon, in almost a lifeless state, where ho was treated with the greatest kindness. COMBINATION AMONG THE SHEARERS.—An im mense concourse of shearers assembled yesterday morning in the Grassmarket, and two shillings and sixpence were generally offered early in the day, as wages, at which rate many were hired. These perstms were proceeding, in carts, to their re spective destinations, when about half a dozen of stout fel lows, Irishmen, interfered, and would not permit any to leave the market, who were not to receive one pound per week, or three shillings and fourpence per day, with victuals. This caus ed considerable confusion, and prevented those who were Will ing to work, at the wages offered, from leaving the market. One fellow, who seemed particularly active, and who upset a cart, and assaulted the driver, was brought to the police-office, and fined ten shillings and sixpence by the Sitting Magistrate. The fine was paid by one of his companions, and the party re turned to the market, but did not proceed to further acts of violence. A strong body of police were by this time, (twelve o'clock), perambulating the Grassmarket. •The great body of the shearers were then hired at two shillings per day.-- The wages generally given to shearers yesterday, at Linton and Tranent, were two shillings. Very few were hired, the harvest being nearly over in East Lothian.—(Edinburgh Observer, Au g ;. 30.)

CHESHIRE ASSIZES, CHISTZR, Auo. 29. MANSLAUGHTER. Johnson, stood charged with killing and slaying Na. than Johnson. From the statement of the ATTORNEY-GEWERAL, it ap. peered that the prisoner and the deceased had had a quarrel, and that, in the course of the fight, (which had been encou. raged by the prisoner's mother) they were wrestling, and the deceased falling, the prisoner fell upon him, when the deceased said, " Thou haat hurt me, but if thou wilt stop till I am better, I will fight thee." The fight afterwards took place, when the deceased received some kicks on his stomach, of which he died. it Surgeon proved that he wax called in to attend the de ceaged on the Bth of June, and that he had died on the llth of the same month, in consequence of the bruises which he had received. The C islr JusTrcit said, in passing sentence, " Prisoner, you have been found guilty of the crime of manslaughter. The death of the deceased, it is clear, was caused by fighting, a practice which must be put a stop to. It appears, however, that the deceased bit and kicked you, and gave the challenge to fight first. Taking into consideration the length of impri sonment that you have suffered, the judgment of the Court is, that you be further imprisoned for th e period of three months, and kept to bard labour in the House of Correction." CUTTING AND MAIMING. Wm. Brook: stood capitally indicted, under Lord Ellenbo rough's Act, with haring . , on the 23d of April, at Stockport, in this county, inflicted, with a certain sharp instrument, on the body of 3largaret Rhodes, divers writinds. From the statement of the .ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on t' - e part of the Crown it appeared that the wounds (four in num ber) had been inflicted by a pen-knife, at the door of her house, when the prisoner made use of the following words:—" Peggy Rhodes, come out, d—n thee, turn out, thou w—e and thief my name is Brooks, and I am come to seek revenge;" and then inflicted the wounds as described by the witnesses for the prosecution. Mr. D. G. JONES, on the part of the prisoner, endeavoured. to show that the prosecutrix first gave the provocation, by striking the prisoner over the side of his head with a patten ; that she used several words of a provoking nature, and that she called him a rogue and a thief. Mr. Lacey, the surgeon, described the nature or the wounds, but said none of them were of a dangerous kind. After several witnesses had been examined on the part of the prosecution, and on the part of the prisoner, his Lordship sum med up, and the .Jury found the prisoner " Guilty of doing some grievous and bodily harm."—Death. Clings' JuSTICE—Put the prisoner back. I shall not pass sentence now. I can give him very little hopes. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.-011 Monday night a daring outrage was committed in the house of Mr. Ellerbuck, of Castle-street, Finsbury-square. Mr. Ellerbuck and in mates were all from home during the evening, when about eleven o'clock he returned alone, and let himself in with a latch-key, but had scarcely entered the house when he was attacked by three men, who beat him unmercifully, and .one of the ruffians making a snatch at watch, the chain broke, leaving two seals in his hand. The robbers having secured Mr. Ellerbuck, locked him into a lower room, while they proseeded up stairs to ransack the house. Finding an iron chest in an upper room, they carried it to another part of the house to break it open, but after being sometime thus engaged, they made a precipitate retreat, alarmed, it is supposed, by some noise in the lower part of the house. Mr. laerbuck, in his struggle with the robbers, received a severe cut on the head, and was otherwise severely injured. Information of the out.. rage was immediately given, at the Police-office, Wor ship-street, and Attfield, Armstrong, and Eagles, three of the officers, examined the premises, and found a crow-bar, . with which the robbers had attempted to open the iron chest, and a bludgeon covered with blood, the instrument with which Mr. Ellerbuck had been wounded. The only articles carried off were the two seals and a dressing-case. No trace of the robbers has as yet been discovered. A late Number of the Brussels Oracle says— Two women of Strasburgh, a mother and dough ter, disappeared last week. A letter was found in the apartment they had quitted, which stated, that it was the intention of the mother to destroy herself, and that the daughter had exclaimed, " Yes, mother, I will follow thee into the other world." Several days elapsed without any tid ings being had what had become of them. On Thursday last, however, the sluiceman at the mill at Dinsen found the body of the mother in the mill-dam ; and on searching further the corpse of the unfortunate daughter was also found.— Family-quarrels, it appeared, had occasioned this double suicide,
