So, in his battle with Gaynor, on Epsom Downs—there, although hit blind, he called upon Curtis to use the knife, and let the blood - flow ; and thus gaining another glimmer, de clared that be could fight for an hour, and actually did come off victorious. We must • not lose sight of the fact, however, that Marten is a game man, and a hard hitter. His fight with Gybletts showed him off to great advantage ; and his conquest of Defoe places him high on the list of good ones. His fight with January was Merely an experi ment, in which he proved that he could not: be induced to deceive his friends. He is very confident, and has taken every care of himself. The tight will take place on Tues day, nova hundred miles from the village. BISHOP SHARPE AND YOUNG .DCITCH SAH.-The last deposit for this InatCh was likewise mado good on Thurs day night, at the Sol's Arms. Sam was present, but Sharpe continues in close training—an example which we should recommend Sam to Wow. He is in excellent con dition ; and _all he has to 110 is, like Curtis, to do his duty to himself and his friends, and deserve success. Ile has youth, length, and science, to opptise to game and per severance. Sharpe is no doubt, one of the best of his weight; and although not a showy fighter, still he has found the way _to floor all his antagonists, and nmsenot be hdd too light. Even betting was made by Sans's friends; but odds were afterwards laid in favour of Sharpe, 5 to 4.. Sam returned to the country on Friday.

Dick Curtis is to go in with Sans, which is a iull point in his favour. - 'LIVERPOOL, Ocr.AL—A greater ex tent of business has .been done in British plantation than for several preceding weeks, the sellers having accepted rather lower prices, particularly for mid dling and good scale qualities, and the sales reported amount to 1,200 casks. The grocers have also taken 1,000 bags of good and fine white 'Bengal, `but the price is not named. In foreign nothing has been done. MOLASSES are a shade lower, 40 puns. of good Demerara having been sold at 31s. RUAL—Limited sales have been made in common Leeward and strong Demerara. COFFEE.—Cleati descriptions of plantation, espe cially the finer sorts of Jamaica, command steady prices, kit 160 tees, and 80 brls, offered by auction yesterday were withdrawn for want of buyers; the whole, with ,the exception of a few kits, being of a quality with which the trade are already well sup plied. COCOA is - without demand, and for Pimento or Ginger there has been no inquiry. RICE.—In Carolina and East India the•sales have been limited, but prices are without alteration. HIDES.—The only transactions reported are 250 dry salted Brazil Ox and Cow, at 80., 227 North American salted at 51d. per lb. TALLOW.--New Yellow Candle is held at 395. 6d., which is rather lower, and very little has been done since our last publication. COTTON.—The market has been heavy this week, and the sales in the inferior qualities of Upland, Alabama, and Brazil' have been at a decline of id. per lb. from the prices of last week, all other de scriptions remaining much the same as last quoted. The import is 7,135 bags, and the sales amount to 11,976 bags. TOBACCO.—There has been no.deniaud either for export or from Ireland, and very little for home trade. One case of Havannah Segars has been sold. Arrived this week 365 per Lima from Virginia, and about 150 per Grampion from New Orleans. NAVAL STORES.--The • sales for Tar consist of 500 barrels, American, for part of which 18s. 3d. was obtained, but sales f which have been closed at 16s. 6d. per barrel.

DvEwooDs.—The sales of Carnpeachy Logwood this week do not exceed 60 to 70 tons, at 81. to 8/. 55.; and 30 tons Jamaica, sold by auction from the 'quay, went to a decline of 10s., bringing only Si. 15s. to Si. 17s. 6d. per ton for middling quality. In Fustic the transactions are confined to a few - small lots of prime Cuba, in second hands, at 121., and 30 tons mixed Cuba and Jamaica, at 81. 7s. 6d. For ti small lot of common solid Nicaragua Wood, 13/., and for a small lot of Camwood, 141 per ton has been realised. ' INDIGO.—The Company's London sale will not close before the beginning of next week; but more than .5,000 chests have now passed the hammer, the mixed undecided qualities of Bengal, and more espe cially of Bewares, having latterly gone at a farther decline, and selling fully is. to is. 9d. below the currency of the preceding quarterly sale; whilst the Oude and Madras descriptions, the principal part of what has been offered since our last, have sold at previous rates, and 6d: to is. per lb. decline.

MEDITERRANEAN PRODUCE.—The sales of Mad. der Roots consist of 1.50 double and 50 single bales Turkey, for which 38s. per cwt. has been accepted. Madders continue in good demand, and although little or no advance can be obtained for the lower qualities, decidedly higher prices have been paid for the better descriptions. New Sicily Shumac offer ing, from the quay, at 10s. 9d. ; old meets a heavy sale at 10s. 3d. to 10s. 6d. • and not more than 150 bags of both are reported this week ; 250 bags Ve rona have been sold at 7s. from the ship's side, and 7s. Gd. per cwt. in store. YELLOW BERRIES continue to improve in price, and 4 bales Persian have been sold at 221 . to 241 . per cwt. The East India Galls offered by auction being held for an advance, no sales could be effected. But little was done at the public sales of Valonia, only 80 tons being disposed of at 16/. to 16/. 10s. for Smyrna, and 144 ss. per ton for Mores. Of Bark the sales arc 100 tons Dutch Oak at 6/. to 6/. 12s. 6d.; 90 tons Cork tree at 91. to 9/. 10s. per ton; and 60 casks fine new Philadelphia Quer citron at 15s. 3d., and for one lot 15s. 9d. per cwt. OlL.—The sales consist of ten tuns Gallipoli, at 40/. and a little Malaga, at 351. per tun.

SALTPETRE still continues very scarce, and for 2.50 bags, 275. a 30s. per cwt. has been paid. A melancholy and fatal accident occurred be tween Doncaster and Ferrybridge, on Friday evening last, about half-past seven o'clock. The York Highflyer coach was on its route towards Doncaster, when a gentleman on horseback was observed gallopping towards the coach at a most furious pace ; plenty 9f room was given him to pass, but, unfortunately, the horse came in con tact with the splinter-bar of the coach, and threw the rider's head with such tremendous force against the foot-board that he was killed on the spot; his head presenting a shocking spectacle. Some idea of the violence of the concussion may, be formed, from the fact of the foot-board being mashed by it. We have not heard the unfcntunate gentleman's name. fr ROBERT FULTON. Had that great benefactor to the world, and par ticularly of his country, been spared to this day, to witness the numerous and wide-spreading blessings .to commerce and to manufactures dispensed by the hroper application of s t eam , h ow serene ly wou ld h e ave " passed the downward road." But he was cut off—in the midst of his usefulness was be cut off—while his country was boldly engaged in war— while his powerful mind was contriviitg'and concert ing schemes to move ponderous batteries among the .becalmed fleets of the enemy; and before his plans of submarine warfare had reached any practical re sult. His torpedo system, had he brought it to per fection, would have carried terror with its progress, and instead of alleviating the miseries of war, would have added tenfold to its horrors. It might have prevented its frequency and abridged its length, and combined with the engines of destruction, invented by our countryman, Perkins, would have placed in the hands of ambitious monarchs the means of de struction too horrible to contemplate. Only think of the awful, appalling powers of the torpedo, which moved under and attached itself to its victim in the dead of the night, the hour when 1,000 persons in a 74 would be asleep in their hammocks—its explo sion would destroy. the whole in a moment, and send them into the next world in a breath ! The pecuniary situation of Robert Fulton was so unexpected at his death, that instead of a compe tency, his widow and children were left with a country's gratitude as their only dowry.

" However, I will not admit that it is half so im portant es the torpedo system of defence and attack ; for out of this will grow the liberty of the seas; an object of infinite importance to the welfare of Ame rica, and every civilized cou*try. But thousands of witnesses have now seen the steam-boat in rapid movement, and they believe; they have not seen a ship of war destroyed by a torpedo; and they do not believe. We cannot expect people in general will have a knowledge of physics, or power of mind suffi cient to combine ideas, and reason from causes to, effect.. But in case we have war, and the enemy's * ships come into our waters, if the Government will give me reasonable means of action, I will soon con vince, the world that, we have surer and cheaper nodes of defence than they are aware of. " t'our's; Bie. "ROBERT FULTON." LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1827. THE CITY NEW LAW COURTS. The public business of the new Court of Common Pleas at Guildhall has, since it was first used, been frequently interrupted, in conse quence of the egregiously defective construction of the place. But this Court, and that of the King's Bench, it will be remembered, were, in the first instance, formed so badly for their most, impor tant purpose, the conveyance of sound, that it was requisite, to construct cumbrous canopies, and place large curtains in unsightly positions, in order to destroy a considerable echo, and obviate other defects. In the Common Pleas, it is found in winter time that is is worse constructed, if possible, in point of ventilation. It is so contrived, that variable currents of a i r are constantly directed across the Bench, t o t h e great annoyance of the JUdge, who is Seldom in such a state of robust health as to sustain sudd en vicissitudes of hot and cold. Two doors are so placed, on each side of the Court, as wh en opened with the right hand, to divert a current of cold air with great precision to the centre of the Bench. During former sittings, Lord Chief Justice Best was frequently compelled to make th e , most severe c omplaints on the subject; he ordered that these doors should be kept guarded, and re peatedly threatened to fine the Sheriffs' officers who inadvertently permitted persons to pass through them. This precaution, however, is not sufficient. The canopy probably detains the heated air more than any other place, and con sequently any cold air admitted from any part of the Court is directed to that part where the air is most rarefied. Such, however, is Still the effeckexperienced. His Lordship, when an opportunity occurred, tried the other new Court, but soon returned. At the Commencement of the present sittings in 'London, he had a piece of cloth placed before his desk to keep the wind from his legs. But this was of no avail, and he was compelled to defend himself by wrapping folds of cloth round them. On Monday his Lordship sent for Mr. Newman, the hall-keeper, who has the charge of the Courts. Mr. New man was busied in attending to the members of the Corporation, and was some time before he came. When he made his appearance, his Lordship reprimanded him severely for not taking care to have the Court in a better condition, and for not attending to the business himself, instead of leaving it to a deputy. His Lord ship fined him 201., intimating at the same time, that if the ground of complaint were not in future removed, a far more severe penalty should be inflicted. When the cir- Cumstances became known to several of the leading memberscof the Corporation, they 'were disposed to treat the infliction of the fine upon the hall-keeper as an invasion of their rights and privileges. He was, they said, their Servant ; chosen by them, paid by them, and one over whom no. Judge had any legal controul. One Common Councilman (a Solicitor) was of ;opinion that the City Solicitor should be in structed to • defend their rights. Others, it is said, were for submission, and advised that the matter should be accommodated, and that some one should be sent for that purpose. Mr. Mon tague, the clerk of the city works, who is avowed to be the architect of these COurts, having re ceived a reprimand on a former occasion, was not, we understand, disposed to approach any iof the learned personages. a second time upon the subject. Mr. Hick, the late Chairman of the Improvement Committee, under whose superintendence the Courts were constructed, went to his Lordship, and, we understand, pro inised that no expence should be spared, and 'that every thing, in the power of the Corporation should be done to remedy the evils complained of. Mr. Newman, the hall-keeper, soon after went to his Lordship, and, in mitigation of the fine imposed upon him, submitted, that he ought . lot to be made responsible for what was solely caused by the defective construction of the Court, in which he had no part. His Lordship Was ultimately included to remit the fine, but at the same timfa.he declared that he was determined that the Sheriffs themselves should be com pelled to attend, and be made - to experience the severe inconvenience of the place, until the Corporation exerted itself to remedy it. The old King's Bench Court was offered to his Lordship until some experimental repairs can be made to cure the defects of the new court. This offer was readily accepted, and accordingly the busi ness of the Common Pleas was on Friday con ducted in this old Court, which, though in many respects exceedingly inconvenient, is far preferable to the new one in others. The Cor poration has been very unhappy in its display of Architectural skill and contrivance in the other new courts in the city. The New Court at the Old Bailey, and the expensive new Court of Re quests, have both been loudly complained of for their inconvenience in respect of sound.— Times. A gentleman arrived here on Monday night by Goodman's coach, and on his reaching his lodgings, discovered that he had lost a valuable gold chronometer, with gold chain and seals. He perfectly recollected having the watch, &c. at Reigate, and had a faint idea that he possessed it when the coach changed horses at the stables at the bottom of I3olney-hill. A friend, there upon, recommended him to take a post-chaise and go back to the stables in search of it, which advice was instantly acted upon, ashen, strange to say, the lost articles, by the aid of candle and lantern, were found uninjured, in the middle of the turnpike-road, where they had been lying nearly Six. hours ; two or three stage-coaches, a van, &c. having passed over the spot.—Brighton Herald. HORRIBLE MURDER.—On the night of Tuesday last, a most barbarous murder was com mitted on the body of young Jones, a carrier be tween Stafford and, Birmi ng h am , an d a son of the late Mr. Jones, for a number of years pub lic carrier on the same road. On the carts ar riving from Birminghoin to Walsall, and the horse stopping there at the accustomed Inn, no one was perceived with it; but on looking into the cart, the body of the young man was found hanging, with his hands tied behind him ; and the cart had been robbed of every thing it con tained, except two large boxes. Information acid heard she t h set e o fth e was immediat e ly f orwar d e d to t h e mother of the a ‘ t v e S thaaffvoe n r d, o ai t inquest. Jones was not more than sixteen or tO °u Walsall. man, all. seventeen, years of age.--Pottcra Gazette. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, NEWMARKET, SUNDAY EVENING. From the value of the stakes (between 6 and 7,0001.) appointed for decision at this meeting, the high character of the horses entered, and the anticipated numerous attend ance.of the Nobility, we have good reason for expecting an excellent week's sport. There. are' two or three sales during the week from the studs of the Duke of Grafton, Lord Anson, &c. including . the following' well-known horses :--Paramour, Arab, a two-year old filly, by Wont], out of Catgut; Piquet, Zaida, Ina, Prue, Elizabeth, by Orville; Miniature, Careless, Sligo, Noureddin ; a two year old. colt, by Merlin, out of Prue; a yearling filly, by Tramp, out of Prue; a filly foal, by :Whisker,, out of Eli 2abeth.; a filly foal, by Emilius, out of Prue ; a colt foal, by 3 • lori , eo out of Miniature • , and a filly foal, by M or i sco , out of Itie ; Theorem, two yearling colts, by Tiresias and Centaur ; and 11 brood mares, colts and fillies, from Mr. R. WilSon's stud. - Theinost important stakes to be run in the ensuing week are the Garden Stakes, . the Clearwell Stakes for two year old stakes (won last year by Mr. Haffenden's Trum, peter) the Prendergast Stakes for 2-yr olds, and the Frog more Stakes. Souvenir is the favourite for the Garden Stakes, in consequence of the very light weight on her, (6st. Sib. only); but there arc some who think that, not withstanding this advantage, she will have plenty of work cut out for her by Babel, Turcoman, and Sligo : • for our own parts, we think that the distance (the T.M.M. course) , will give the older horses a good chance with her. Lord Lowther's Scribe is en , favourite for the Prendergast, in consequence of her having won the July stakes; it should be recollected, however, that Juryman could have won that stakes easy, had not Lord Lowther declared to win with the filly; ard that for the Prendergast, she has a field a 26 horses against her, most of them fresh ones— , The Froginpre brings out a good field of Derby horses ; the race seems to be between Espagnolle and . Grampus, 5 to 4 having been taken between them—the former having the call. It is a matter of doubt whether (ilenartney will start, higlrodds have been offered against him. The match for 200 to be rum to-morrow between the two Oak fillies, out of Donna Clara and Patina, is expected to be a close affair—Donna Clara giving olb. ; she is the favourite.— Lunacy has the .call in her match against Lord Tavistock's Pledge colt. A great many 2-yr olds will come out in the course of the week, and thus afford some clue for the betting on the Derby and Oaks. Lord An'son's Heroine, who is entered in the Garden Stakes, is dead. Mameluke is at Mr. Dilly's stables ; he takes common exercise only, and looks well ;' he has not 'had any gallops, and having no engagements, is not expected to run any more this season. There have been an amazing number of horses out this morning from the training stables of Messrs. Stephen son, Bios, .Doe, Prince, Edwards, Marsden, Cooper, Pettit, G. Payne, Dilly, Boyce, Edwards, Theakstone, Chifney, and Rogers. They are all in a very healthy state, and as there are three or .four trials daily, many of them are ex pected to be matched. King Charles the Second's Plate, annually run for' here bycharter, ors the second Thursday in October, was not contested last Thursday, Captain Watson's, ch g Syson, rode by Mr. J. Wetherby, having walked over. It was fully expected that Mr. Howe's Skiff would have started, being on the course in racing order, and his jockey ready to mount. Why he was drawn is a secret to us. Many of the lodgings are taken, and the servants of the regular visitors are coming in very fast, with their masters' hacks. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Richmond are just arrived; the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Lords Fitzroy, Wallscourt, Jersey, &e. are also come.

The style of both men's fighting is different. Marten is a scientific out-fighter, with a perfect command of both hands ; while Gas is a bustling in-fighter, a heavy hitter, and so perfectly game, that nothing bait downright stupefaction will " choke him off." This he proved -when pitted against the scientific Robinson, from Yorkshire, whose science enabled him to take a decided lead, and to bit Gay argot boodels4 never- ~" • • • • NAVAL MITILUGY.44Ct. PORTSMOUTTI, OCT. I g:.. 1 :-We have rnech grad& cation in announcing the arrival of Captain Back and Lieutenant Kendall, of the Royal Navy, in charge of the Land Arctic Expedition, who landed here yesterday morning from the ship Prince of Wales, last from York Factory, Hudson's Bay, which they left on the 15th of September. These intrepid officers, as well as their chief, are arrived home in the most perfect health, as ate sixteen of the eighteen men who accompanied them in their arduous discoveries—one of their number was lost in a rapid, and one died from natural causes. Copt, Back accompanied Captain Franklin in his endea_ yours to reach Icy Cape, by the western channel of Mackenzie's River, and Lieutenant Kendall went. with Dr. Richardson, in an eastern direction, to examine the intermediate coast between the Mac- • kenzie and the Copper-mine Rivers. Though nei ther party of the expedition has actually traced the navigation of a North-west Passage, yet they are perfectly satisfied, from the success which has at tended their discoveries, that a passage is open from Davis's Straits to Behring's Straits, or from the North Atlantic to the North Pacific Ocean; and thus the geographical problem is solved, that. the great continent of America is an island only, but. from insurmountable obstructions of ice, the passage round it can never, or but very seldom, be navi gated. The ship Prince of Wales went past for act River, with the men on board who were employed ill the expedition. Captain Back and Lieutenant Kendall set off for the Admiralty. Letters have been received here from .Sir Edward Codrington's squadron, dated off Navatin, Sept. 25, which state that they were then blockading .the. Turkish fleet in that port, which consisted of four. sail of the)i4e, fifteen frigates, twenty-five corvettes.. and 4 nuroba of "Smaller vcsstla. Nothing particuls. bad occurred since they commenced : this service,- which was in conformity with the Treaty made with the Governments of Russia and France, and which had been notified to the Commander of the fleet, as well as what measures would be:pursued to carry the 'Treaty into effect. last Tuesdayfrem the his M Gulph ajesty's IN b l l e .i x g ico t , he h il av v i i i t i c g rnf le r i t t: Capt. Charmer, a r r i ve d f rom the `Vest Indian sta tioioen Vera Cruz, June 11, and Tampico, Aug. 18, bring ing thence 500,000 dollars and 139 serous of cochi neal, on merchants' account : she touched at Ha vannah, and left it September 8. The TAr. .....tomart did not bring any specie on account of the Mexican Government. Whilst she lay at Vera Cruz, the authorities represented that some circumstances had recently occurred which induced the Government not to send any specie, for shipment, to Vera Cruz, for the present; but, though the Britomart subse quently lay 64 days at Tampico, and the Govern ment were aware of the circumstance, as they inlet also have been that the character. of the Republic was at stake upon the transmission of money to England, yet the last letters received at Tampico from the city of Mexico stated that they had not sent off a single dollar. It was believed that the Public Treasury was quite exhausted, and the pre sent state of the Government and of the counts; presented altogether a poor prospect for, the public creditor. The Britomart brings an equally unfa vourable- account of the state of the Mines. The iron pipes and machinery, which were sent from this country to be: iused in working them, lie about at Vera Cruz just as they . were landed, soon after the formation of the Mining Companies in England. The Pylades, 18, Captain George V. Jackson, and the Valorous, 28, Captain the Earl of Htuningdon, are the next ships comingjo England from the Gulph of Mexico. All was Quiet at the Havarinali. Commodore Laborde was lying there with his squadron, he having received orders from Ferdinand not to risk the disasters of the seas again during the hurricane months. The consequence had been, that Commodore Porter, whom the Americans had, at the urgent request of the Spanish Government, forced to quit Key West, had escaped from that port, and arrived, with his squadron, at Vera Cruz. The Britomart is to be, paid off at this port. On Thursday arrived the Arab transport, Lieut. Basden, from Quebec, having conveyed thence to Cork the second division of the 70th regiment, and brought from that place the first division Of the 58th Regiment, for present duty in this gerison.— The Arab left Quebec on the 2d . September, where, all public affiiiraaregoing on with tranquil. prospe rity. A greater cumber of emigrants, principally from the North of Ireland, had arrived out this sea son, than .in any preceding ; some had gOne into the United States, but the greater number had dis tributed themselvesin the Upper Provinces, whilst some hundreds had obtained.employ in, the new grand Canal which is forming between:Kingston and the Ottawa; so, that, considering• the great influx of pauper emigrants, no great degree of distress was anticipated in the approaching winter season, With respect to the staple article of trade at Quebec we understand that the quantity of timber shipped this season for England was materially smaller than it had been during the three preceding years, in con sequence of the overtrading having created a large stock on hand, in the great English markets, and that only five new ships bad been ,Iminched';this year;. but still things had so accommodated them selves that but little mercantile embarrassment was felt, and the industrious labourer bad not wanted employ. We do not hear of any shipments of wheat for this country. On Thursday the Southworth transport, Lieut. Sanders, arrived from Cork (in 47 hours), with the head-quarters of the 58th Regiment, having pre viously taken part of the 734 regiment to Gibraltar, and returned to Cork with part of the 64th regiment. She will sail on Tuesday with invalids for Chatham, and stores for 'Deptford and Woolwich. On Monday arrived here the barque Huskisson, of London, from Jamaica, which Island she left on the Ist August, with little more than half a cargo ; many other ships sailed at the same time, in ballast, owing to the failure of the crops. During the stay 9f the Huskisson at Kingston and Old Harbour, she was very sickly, having lost two masters and,eleven of the crew; and, on the passage homeward, another master (Robert W. Airy) and two seamen died.-- She was, therefore, put under quarantine on her ar rival; but the crew (one man excepted, ill from.sle,. bility) were in perfect health ; she received pratique on Wednesday, and next day sailed for the River; Same day arrived the Leonidas,. (Gardner, from Richmond, Virginia, to Cowes_,•for orders; Phoenix,.Anderso n , f rom B atav i a to this place, for orders; and Glatton, Lawton, from Honduras, with osho-: gano, for London. On Wednesday, the Cambrian, Warnack, from New York for London, put into Cowes, by contrary, winds. Yesterday the brig.. Mary Ann, E.
