. . May last, at twelve o'clock at noon, feloniously broken and entered the dwelling-house of JOshua Smith, at Broughton, in this county, and with hav ing feloniously stolen therefrom 12 crowns, 40 half crowns, 400 shillings, 80 sixpences, 115 sovereigns, 20 Bank-notes of 5/. each, and five of 101. each, with other articles, of which the value altogether amounted to near 300/. The Jury formally pronounced a verdict of ac quittal; upon which The LORD CHIEF BARON, addressing the pri soner, said," You are an extremely fortunate man." The prisoner was then discharged, and seemed not a little surprised at the result of the trial. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, Jur.v 80. The Judges (Mr. Justice BAYLEY and Mr. Baron ilimLock) entered the city on Saturday, and opened the commissions both for the city and the county. Their Lordships went to the Cathedral church on Sunday, where they heard Dr. Britton. At eight o'clock this morning, Mr. Justice Bayley proceeded to the Guildhall of the city, where the Grand Jury were sworn in, and charged. There were only two prisoners in the calendar— William Smith, charged with bigamy ; and William Baines, charged w►th %leafing books ; and true bills were found against both of them. Smith was immediately put upon his trial for marrying Mary Fuller], spinster, his wife (Grace Faith) being alive. The prisoner's marriage with Grace Faith in 1804, and his second marriage with Mary Pulleyn on the 19th of November, 1826, were proved; and it appeared that the prisoner was taken into custody on a charge of beating his first wife, which led to the present indictmettt. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he was under age when he married Gracie Faith ; that the marriage was by licence, and that his father refused his consent ; and he ealled his father, an old man of 78, who said his son was on his first marriage only .0 years old, and that he refused his consent.— Lpon his cross-examination by his Lordship, he said he was 24 years bid when he married ; his first sou was born two years afterwards; and his second son, she prisoner, was born two years after that. His Lordship said, the only question turned upon the age of the prisoner ; it appeared his father was married about 54 years ago, and that the prisoner was born - tout years afterwards; he must therefore he now about 50 years old, and when he married It's first wife he must have been 27. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guithi. The prisoner then said, he was persuaded by his father to marry. She shook a bag at him; his father said it was ion of money, and that he must have her. His Lordship sentenced him to two years' impri sonment, with hard labour. William Baynes, a very respectable-looking man, was then put upon his trial for stealing three books The Beauties of Cowper—Falconer's Shipwreck— and The Vicar of Wakefield --from the shop of Alexander Barclay, a bookseller, in York. The Jury found. the prisoner Guilty. He was then arraigned upon another indictment for Stealing other books, but the trial was, at the request of Counsel, postponed. In the county, Mr. Baron HULLOCK presided in the Crown Court. There were 56 prisoners in the calendar—several for highway robberies, seven for manslaughter, one (George Clarkson) for the murder of two bastard children, and one for rape. J o ke Metcalfe was indicted for a highway rob bery upon George Barrow, in Thornton, in Lonedale, on the 7th of April last, and stealing from him his clothes.—Guilly. Thomas Johnson was indicted for the manslaughter of Edward Cattorr; at Knaresborough, on the 9th of April last.--Not Guilty. Sarah Thorpe , the deceased's daughter - in - law , who sent in for ohnson, was then arraigned upon the Coroner's Inquest, and acquitted, no evidence being offered against her. • HOME CIRCUIT—CHELMSFORD, JULY SO. 'Tkis day, about three o'clock, Sir JAMES ALLAN FARE, and Sir STEPHEN GASELEE, Kilts., arrived here, actompanied by Sir JOhn Tyrrell, Bart., our worthy Ogh Sheriff. Having opened the Commis sion, their z.ordships attended Divine Service, when an excellent 'discourse was delivered by the Sheriff's Chaplain, the Rev. John Bramston, M.A., of Ex eter College, Oxford, ffont the 5.5 th chapter of Isaiah, verses 7,8, 9. The cafe - 11,2 8 r contains 81 prisoners, among whom, we regret w state, there are many persons charge-I with offences a a very heinous description. There are seven for higteway robbery; eleven for housebreaking, including the kialstid gang of six, three of whom we committed to give evidence against their accomplices, and two persons are indicted for receiving the articles from the Halsted gang, knowing them to have been stolen; for horse stealing, four; sheep stealing, one ; stealing corn, five ; fowl stealing, five ; uttering forged notes and base coin, two; stealing in a dwelling house, five ; ass stealing, three ; shooting at with natant to do bodily harm, killing, and slaying, and on suspi cion of having murdered her male bastard. Oild, one each, &c. &c. • Thirty-four causes, seven of which are for special juries, were entered for trial. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR 3 JLY, The earth's products of the present year have been described, in our preceding Reports, as probable to be generally abundant—perhaps above the average of seasons. There is now every probability that the nearly approaching harvest will verify, to the letter, this nationally' egbilirating expectation. The breadth of wheat in the country is said, from all quarters, to be most extensive ; and during some years past, the culture of this staff of life and of potatoes has been annually extending. It is only ou the most productive lands that whea: is very bulky : on the inferior, though the ear b e pf fair size, the straw is not great. Harvest wiz commence with the next month, or even the couctlusion of the present, in the for ward districts; anel barley has been already cut in Dorsetshire. The: barley crop is supposed to be the heaviest, both id ear and stern ; oats the least so; and the complaints pf foul tilth seem to attach, in-the greatest degree, to the oat crop. Too many good old farmers appear y:t to set much store by double crops. The hops have certainly passed through the' vicissitudes of the season with less injury than] was predicted ; and there having been for some seasons, a much larger. stock on hand than o f -which the speculators were aware, the article neither did, nor in probability will, for a consi derable period, reach the high prices of former clays. The hay is a general good crop, well got in, with the exception of that part of the lands on which the roots of the grass perished during the drought of last year. • That most important .crop, the turnip, both white and Swedish, after some early. Mishaps, is in fair progress, and, at this' time, undergoing the process of a second hoeing. The late showers have been infinitely beneficial. Fruits promise to be a general crop, particu larly apples ; with the drawback so annoying to the taste of foreigners, of too much acid in a great part, most in the, currents—and the absence of that grateful siediaro-snbaxid flavour in the juices, which is never found in perfection in seasons when any considerable degree of blight prevails.,--Mwit/i/ . 9 Magazine. Ihs harvest has 'commonesd at liornewia, anti during the present-weeksvill cornuaance in this neigh bourhood. All the crops appear plentifa and healthy, and likely to exceed an Aventge .harvest. The hay is not suite got in, but it will be all stacked in the course of a few dap. The eddishee atsme a verdant ,and, fruitfol appearance.—Boston Gazelle. MARIA CLEMENTINA, AN UNFORTU. NATE NUN. (From Six Months in the West Indies in 1825.) Reader, if your whim or your necessities should lead you to Madeira, go for my sake to the nunnery of Santa Clara. It is at the wes tern end of Funchal, and you may buy there the prettiest flowers for your sweetheart's hair, and the most ingenious toys in wax that are in the world. • The nuns sell them very cheap, and all they get from you goes in real charity to them selves or their pensioners. Perhaps also you ►nay see poor Maria, if she be not dead ; if she comes, speak to her very kindly, and give my love to her ;—but you do not know me, or poor Maria either. Maria Clementina, the youngest child of Pedro Agostinho, was born in Madeira. Her parents had an unusually large family, and were labour ing under some embarrassment from the unfa voural4le termination of an important lawsuit. What unfortunate event coincided with her birth, I know not, but Maria was disliked by her father and mother from. the first years of her infancy. Her brothers neglected her- in obedi ence to their parents, and her sisters, who were very ugly, hated her for her beauty. Every one else in Funchal and the neighbourhood loved her, and she had many offers of marriage at thirteen years of age, which the little maiden laughed at and forwarded to her I Icier sisters. The more she was petted abroad, the more was she persecuted at home. She was treated at length like Cinderella, with no chance of a fairy to help her. Amongst other arrangements for the purchase of commissions for two of his sons, and for giving portions to two of his daughters, Pedro AgostinhO determined to sacrifice his best and sweetest child Maria. At eighteen she was placed as a novice in this nunnery, at nine teen she took the veil and renounced the world for ever. At this time she was the most beau tiful girl in the island, and, what is remarkable in a Portuguee, of a fair complexion, with a bril liant colour, blue eyes, and very long and glossy brown hair. A year after this, the Constitutional Govern merit was established in Portugal, and one of the first and wisest acts of the Cortes was to order the doors of all religious liOuses to be thrown open. Santa Clara was visited by friends and strangers, some to see the church, some to see the garderr, and some to see the nuns.' Amongst others a Portuguese officer, at that time quar tered in Funchal, saw and fell in love with Maria ; he was a handsome youth, of a good family, and Maria returned . hjs love with an earnestness.which perhaps had as much a de sire `of liberty as female passion in it. A nun is emancipated from her parents, and the law de clared the vow of celibacy null and void. The marriage was determined on, her hair permitted to grow again, her clothes prepared, and the wedding-day fixed. Maria fell ill, and the physician enjoined perfect quiet for some time. The wedding-day was fatally postponed to another clay, and before that day arrived, his Faithful Majesty had dissolved his Parlia ment, and, fearful lest HeaVen shculd lose one more of its daughters, had revoked the law of the Cortes, and dispatched an express to notify as much to his subjec6 in Madeira. Maria rose from her bed of sickness to return to her cell and her rosary ; her lengthening ringlets were again mercilessly shorn ; the mob cap, the lea thorn corset, the serge gown were laid before her, and some old Egyptians who could not better themselves elsewhere, - bade her return thanks: that she had so narrowly escaped mixing again in the vanities of the world. On the sth of January, a few hours before we sailed from Madeira, I walked with a hand some and very agreeable Englishwoman to visit Rota Claim. I was very anxious to see Maria, whose try I knew. After a little hesitation on the part of two or three venerable ladies, who first presented themselves tit the great door of ihe house, Maria was summoned. She came to . yriOt a smiling countenance, and kissed my companion repeatedly. Her colour was gone, but she was still beautifully fair, .and the exqui . site shape of her neck Arid the nobleness of her forehead were visible under the disadvantage of a dress as ungraceful as was ever invented for the purppse of mortifying female vanity. She spoke her language with that pretty' lisp which, I believe, the 'critics of Lisbon pronounce to be a icious peculiarity of tfie natives of Madeira, but 3 1 8 - O with a- correctness and an energy that indi cated a*p 01 ,,,,;:ful and ingenious mind. I took half of a large violets 'which I had in my hand and gave them to friend to present to her. Flowers are a dialect of Portuguese which is soon learnt. She took them, citrieied very low, opened the folds of a muslin neckker chief, and dropped them loose on her snowy' bosom. The veSper hell sounded, the door was closed between the nun and the world, but she beckoned us to go into their church. ' l / 4 7 4 e did so ; it is one of the finest in the island, and very curiously lined with a sort of porcelain ; attached to its western end is the chapel of the nuns, and a double iron grating to enable them to'hear anti participate in the service of the mass. Maria came with some flowers in her hand which she had been gathering in the garden. She took four of them from the rest, and gave them to me throllgh the bars. " Sao immortaes," said she . ; they were some common everlastings. " How old are you ?"•said 1. " Twenty-one." " And your name is—" I added. " Maria." And Clementina as well ?" " Yes, in by gone dap," I leaned as close as I could and spoke 4 few words in a low tone, which she did not seem to . understand. She does not understand,, said I. " Yes, yes;' interrupted Maria, " I under stand well ; speak." " Are you happy, lady ?" The abbess,' who was engaged with my com panion, turned her head, and Maria answered with an air of gaiety, " 0 ! yes; very happy." I shook my head as in doubt. A minute elapsed, and the abbess was, occupied again.— Maria put her hail& through the grating, took one of thine, and made me feel a thin gold ring on her little finger, and then, pressing my hand closely, sai4, in accents which I still hear, " No, no, no ; I have the heart-ache." The service began ; the old :nuns croaked like frogs, end the young ones paced up and down, round and, about, in strange and fanciful figures, chaunting as sweetly 4s caged canary birds. gazed at them for a long tune with feelings that cannot be t.old, and when it was time to go, I caught Maria's eye, and made her a slight but earnest bow. She dropped a curtsey which seem ed a rauflection to her neighbour, raised a violet behind her service-book to her mouth, held it, looked 4t it, 41)4 kissed it in token of an eternal farewell. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Quotklienne.) PARIS, JtiLY 2.—His Excellency Prince Polig nee, Ambassador of France to his Britannic Ma jesty, is expected to-day at his estate of Beaumont, near - Versailles. His Excellency will take up his residence there with his family. According to letters received at Hamburgh, dated Cronstadt, :June '23, a second naval expedition will' shortly follow the first ; it will be commanded by Admiral Bellinghausen. " Letters have bee❑ received from Vienna, stat ing that the Infant Don Miguel has taken a house at Baden, where he intends to pass the season for the waters. " The Tribunal of the First L►stance yesterday pronounced sentence in the suit of General Fran ceschetti against the widow of the ex-King 'Murat : " 'Whereas General Franceschetti does not pro duce any documents to support his demand fer the repayment of the sums which he pretends to have disbursed for Joachim Murat, and whereas, there cannot be found any indication of written proof in any of the pieces produced by Geu. Franceschetti ; " And whereas, it does not appear from the cir cumstances of the case, that it was impossible for General Franceschetti to have obtained from Joa chim Murat, then present, a written acknowledge ment of the advances, which he states himself to have made. Without finding itself called upon to de cide ou the questions incidentally raised in the cause, " "cite Court dismisses the application of Gen. Franceschetti, and puts an end to the demand which he has made upon the Countess of Lipano rind her children.' (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday, July 30.) A Morning Paper announces that two French vessels have been plundered in the Mediterranean. Our letters give us reason to suppose that there is an involuntary oversight in this statement. The Journal in question doubtless intended to speak of the capture of two Algerine corsairs, which have been stopped by our cruizers just as they were endea vouring to get out of thue.port. The news of this capture serves at the same time to refute the state ment of another Journal, which pretends that 14 corsairs have sailed from Algiers to molest our com merce. We had already announced that all measures were taken to protect our commerce against these acts of piracy. We are happy to be able now to show by the event, that those measures are efficacious. " Lord Dudley, the brother of Lord Dudley, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affitirs, arri ved on the 19th of this month at Lyons, on his re turn from Italy, accompanied by his lady, who is said to be one of the daughters of Lucien Buonaparte. He set out for London again on the 251).* " Mr. Hill, Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of England to his Sicilian Majesty, has also arrived at Lyons, on his way to London. " Letters from Berlin say, that a great number of superior officers in the Prussian army have petitioned the Government for leave to go and serve as volun teers in the Russian army, in case of a war between Russia and Turkey. "The evening before yesterday, immediately after his condemnation, Ulbach was, as usual, placed in the dungeon, and the jacket of the condemned cri-" minal put on him. " During this operation, which usually produces a profoundimpression on these unhappy persons, he affected extreme indifference. At his desire some food was given to him, which he ate greedily; and then, throwing himself on his bed, went to sleep. Yesterday morning several persons called on him, and urged him to appeal to the Court of Cassation, but in vain ; he listened with cold insensibility. " About eleven his Counsel visited him, and he seemed much pleased on seeing him, and eagerly asked him for the newspapers, that he might read the reports of his trial. But when an appeal was spoken of, Ulbach again refused. However, in the course of conversation, the Counsel faUcied he could discover that this refusal was owing to a sentiment of pride and gasconade, which may be conceived in a young man hardly twenty years of age. He is a child, who wishes to appear to the multitude to be a man. Ulbach at length yielded to the arguments of his Counsel, and has appealed." * This is evidently a mistake of the French journalist. The gentleman alluded to must be Lord Dudley Stuart. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. VIOLENT FRACAS BETWEEN TWO BARRISTERS. About half-past four o'clock, when tha Court was about to rise, Mr. HE/ITII, who had divested himself of his professional habiliments, .addressed a few words, in a low tone, to the Commissioner, and then resumed his seat amongst the Counsel.. Mr. WOODROFFI3 now, with indications of con siderable excitement, complained of what he termed a personal insult offered to him in the face of the Court. Mr. HEATH denied that he had been guilty of any thing insulting ? either in his language or conduct. Mr. WoonRoFPE observed, that he had observed the significant glances which. Mr. Heath had ex changed with the Court, and as he passed him be (Mr. Heath) had muttered that he had no objection to other persons doing his business. Mr. HEATH declared that he had done nothing more than to express to the Court his anxiety to'be_ present at a motion for making a rule absolute in which he had been concerned, but which it appeared had since got into other hands. Mr. WOODROFFE—If you are attending on a mo tion, then, why do you not appear in. your wig and gown, and not in that truckling manner ? • Mr. HRATII to the Court—ls this language to be endured, Sir y Would nuy man, entitled to the name of a Gentleman,be'guilty of such conduct, or can he be called a Gentleman who is capable of it ? The COMMISSIONER expressed his disapprobation of the tone adopted. • Mr. HEATH protested, that his reason for wishing to be present at the mgt►on was, to preserve himself from the falsehoods which he understood had been uttered behind his back on a former occasion. He had obtained the rule, and was ready to make it ab solute; but it had been got out of his hands fraudu lently, on pretence of consulting the party. If any man said that he had refused to make ►t absolute, he said that which was false. Mr, .WooDRpFFE—I was informed that you had refused, Mr. ligATH.—You before asserted it as on your own knowledge. I repeat that , whoever says it, says what is false. It was natural that I should wish to be present, lest the statement should be repeated. Mr. WoowtoFFE.—Your clerk is 'always in Court, purveying for briefs like a jackal. Mr. HEATH (to the Court.) —Did you evet hear such blackguardism, Sir—such perfect black guardism The COURT vainly essayed to allay the storm. Mr. WooDkon.- r -The treatment which the juniors have received from that mau is intolerable. A Gentleman the only remaining Counsel •in Court, declared that towards him as a junior, Mr. Heath's conduct had always been marked by courtesy. Mr. WOODROFFE reiterated his complaint of Mr. Heath's behaviour, and said, there was a person in Court who could testify to Mr. Heath's refusal to proceed with the rule. A man to whom the Learned Gentleman appealed now stepped forward, and declared that such was the fact, and characterized Mr. Heath's conduct as shuffling and disgraceful. • Mr. Ifg,yryt again appealed to the Court for pro tection against this clan, They were all alike. Mr. WootißoFFE was proceeding To express him self with considerable impetuosity, when the Com missioner said to him—" Pray do not compel the Court to interpose its coercive authority. Depend upon it, it has the power, Mr. VirOoDAPFFE.—Oh, Sir, it never will do so without hearing both sides. Here the scene ended, and the cowl shortly af terwards rose.

The Russian Fleet, from Cronstadt, arrived at Elsinore on the 24th ult. The George the Fourth Steam-boat, from London, also arrived in the Roads on the same day, and the outward and homeward vessels sailed that morning for their destination. The Paris Paper's of Sunday, and the Gazette de France of Monday morning, which were re ceived last night, are without matter of political importance, with the exception of a paragraph in the Quotidienneothich states, on the authority of letters from Cronstadt of the 23d of June, that -a second naval expedition will shortly follow the first into the Mediterranean. This fleet, it is said, will be commanded by Admiral BEL LINGHAUSEN. The strenuous naval exertions making by Russia cannot be viewed with indif ference by this Country, as it will certainly be -proper to augment our naval force in the Mediterranean, if not commensurately with that which Russia may have there, at least to a f a r greater extent than has hitherto been necessary. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column. The trial of Joshua Slade, for the murder of Mr. WATaRHOUSE, will be found in another part of our paper, Rnd our readers cannot fail to remark the extraordinary circumstance of a verdict of Guilty being found by the Jury, in 'direct opposition to the charge of the presiding Judge. That Learned individual, in summing up the evidence, observed, that the circumstantial testimony was so loose and disjointed•that no English Jury could deem it sufficient to affect the life of the accused, and that the case entirely or mainly rested on the testimony of WM. HED DINGS, a convicted felon, against whom sentence of death was once recorded, a fact which, by the way, we had erroneously conceived fatal to the testimony of any man being even listened to, far less accredited. His Lordship proceeded to draw the at tention of the Jury to the fact of this most suspicious individual having, without the slightest variation, repeated the evidence given by him before the. Magistrates more than a fortnight ago ; and stated, that he had received from this coincidence a strong impres sion that the witness had made up the whole story and committed it to memory. In defiance of these - observations from the Learned Judge, the Jury without even the compliment of a pro tracted consultation, found the prisoner guilty of the crime laid to his charge. Far be it from us to impeach the verdict of a British Jury, but giving them credit in this case for the purest motives and the most laudable de testation of vice, and even going the length of believing firmly, that from local evidence to which they may have had access, their verdict was a just one, and:that SLADE was actually the murderer of Mr. WATERHOUSE-still we must protest against the discretionary removal of those barriers which the laws of this land have wisely erected for the protection of innocence, even though the guilty must, in conse quence, occasionally escape the just penalty of their crimes. By those who have the happiness of living amidst scenes of rural innocence, and in a county where a murder has not been committed for forty years, legal forms may be considered merely as legal quirks, and it would be difficult to convince them that a Jury may be called on to acquit a prisoner, even in the face of his own confession, and though they had by some accident (if it were possible) been eye-witnesses of the offence. It would be far too wide a field for a newspa per article to undertake the vindicat:Qa 9f the DAY AT ONF South Sea Stork Old Anuuitieg — New Ditto Ex. 13 illA AA* PrO CO 62 111Z1.

But we may say, without fear of con tradiction, that the more the subject is consi dered, the more will the enquirer be satisf►ed that judicial proceedings must be accoMpanied though at the same time they may be often clogged by prescribed and unalterable forms.-- A departure from these, has enabled a Judge JEFFRIES to deluge the land in blood, and' in a strict adherence to them alone, - may be said to consist, the happiness, the security, and the in dependence of the British Empire. German Papers 'to the 29th ult. reached - town last night by the steam vessel from Hamburgh. The Nuremburg Correspondent mentions that the first Russian army under Count VON SACKEN is to take up a concentrated position towards Bessarabia. A meeting between the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA is to take place at Dresden on the re turn of the latter front Toplitz. A riot, which at first threatened serious eonsequences, had occurred at Altona, in consequence of the death of a boy of 14, who had suffered some slight punishment by order of the Magistrates, but the boy's death was declared by the surgeons who examined the body not to arise from the cause to which it was attributed, and the disturbance was put down. From Hanover we have gratifying accounts of improvements carrying on under the direction of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in the formation of fine roads and the construction of new bridges. We have received this morning Hamburgh Papers to the 29th ult. It appears that Lord Cf,ANWILLIANI, our Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, is to relieve Lord FITZGERALD at Copenhagen, and is to be replaced by the latter at Berlin. The town of Boras has been nearly destroyed by fire, while one hundred houses shared a similar calamity in the*Prussian town'of Artern. A great number of lives were lost, and many houses carried away by the fall of water spouts on the Glatz Mountains. Several vil lages suffered severely bytbe catastrophe, while the large village of Lauterbach, in which there was not a poor person, was entirely destroyed— sad vicissitude ! The overflowing of the Danube and other large rivers, has spread general con- sternation : ALTO A, JULY 26. The peace of our town has lately been disturbed in avery disagreeable manner, but is happily restored by the judi cious measures adopted. The death of a boy, about 14 years of age, who, for some misdemeanour, had received a slight corporal chastisement from the Police, excited en opinion in the public that this chastisement had caused his death. On the 24th of this month, at ten o'clock at night, a crowd assembled before the house of the Director of the Police, with the intention of attacking it. His Excellency Count Von Blucher Altona, the Chief President of our town, immediately proceeded to the scene of the riot, for tbe purpose of quelling it, in which be would have succeed ed, had he not been unfortunately wounded by smite stones that were thrown, and obliged to withdraw. Hereupon the house of the Director .of Police was pillaged. The town guard, which had been called together, came and restored order. No excesses have since taken place, and the town guard has preserved the public tranquillity in the most ex emplary manner; as well at the funeral of the boy, which was conducted in perfect order (after the examination of the body by the surgeons, by order of the Magistrates, had proved that .the opinion of the public had been without foundation), and since that .time the accident that oc curred to the Chief President is universally regretted ; but no fears are entertained for his Excellency's health. mum, Jura' 21. His Majesty the King is gone to : .Toplits, accompanied by Prince Von Wittgenstein, General . Witzleben, and the Privy Couniellor Albrecht.

STOCYIIOI.II, JULY 19. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will attend public worship to-morrow, for the first time. The town of Boras, which was desolated by a destructive fire five years ago, experienced a visitation on the 14th instant. A fire broke out in the house of an oil manufac turer, and being impelled by a very high wind, spread in all directions, so that, with the exception of some`public edifices, and about 40 private houses, the whole town was reduced to ashes. Three men lost their lives. His Ma jesty has given orders to take the promptest measures to relieve the sufferers, and to distribute money and corn among them. HAIIIBUROH, JULY 25. On the 10th of this month no less than 100 houses were burnt down in the Prussian town of Artern in Thuringen. Ou the 11th immense damage was caused by the water spouts in the Glair, mountains. The village of Lauterbich • and several others suffered very severely. Forty houses, with every thiiig they contained, were washed away, and 120 rendered uninhabitable. Between 50 and 60 persons perished. The devastations caused by such a calamity are far more dreadful than the effects of fire ; the latter at least leaves the ground on which the houses stood ; but here the impetuous torrents, rushing from the mountains, have brought down.a quantity of trees, vast masses of stone and rock, mud, and earth, leaving the sides of the mountains bare, and covering the gardens and meadows below with a chaos of fragments of rock, &e. The inhabitants have in deed no home, for centuries will elapse before these now bare rocks will again be covered with earth and inhabited. The large and handsome village of Lattterbach,)in which there was nut a poor person, was destroyed in half an hour. A letter from Schyd, of the 25th ult., gives a terrible account of the ravages caused by the overflowing of the Danube, the Save, and the Drave, which have been rising ever since May, and obliged the inhabitants of many vil lages to abandon them. Vast tracts of country in Bukowar, Neusata, and Esseg, - are under water, and the damage amounts to several millions. It is highly gratifying to find that the exer tions of Great Britain to preserve, or to restore, Peace between all the Powers of the world, which have been so pre-eminently successful, have had another triumph in accomplishing the signature of a preliminary Treaty of Peace be tween the Empire of Brazil and the new State of Buenos Ayres. .This important' object , was, we understand, entirely brought about through the means of our Ambassador, Lord PONSONBY, and consequently under the mediation and gua rantee of Great Britain. The conditions which are to bind both Powers are not yet known, but the consequences of the Peace between them will probably be much more extensive and bene- _1 ficial than may appear likely on the first consi deration of the subject. It is known that the Emperor DON PEDRO had contemplated a voyage to Portugal, but that the war then carry ing on with Buenos Ayres obliged him to post pone that intention. It is more than probable therefore, that as soon as the Peace is finally arranged the EMPEROR will fulfil his former in tention, and visit his ancient- Kingdom. The effect of his arrival in Portugal at this time would be most influential, not only on the immediate affairs of that Kingdom, but likewise on the state of Spain and its relations with Portugal. The presence of a popular Monarch would rouse the Portuguese Nation from their lethargy ; and the Constitutional Charter, which, without such an intervention on the EMPEROR'S part, must fall to the ground, would probably lie easily and firmly established, while the hopes of Don ATI- GUEL and his party would be for ever annihilated. We confidently look forward to the hrrival of the ENIPERGR in Portugal at a very early period, and we as confidently predict the happy conse quences vv . liich would immediately result from it. We this morning received Medras Gazettes to the 11th March, but they furnish no addi tional information from India, unless the far ing b 2 deemed such : It appears that Rangoon is not in possession of the Tuliens, as was reported : the country is, however, far from being in a tranquil state. No decisive action bad been fought but several skirmishes had taken place between the Taliens and Burmans. The latter had the benefit of small 'reinforcements which had arrived fro:n Ave, before the sailing of the Bombay Merchant." THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twzzrs o'Ctocr. This morning Console opened at 89i i for money, and 894 t for the account, looking well ; they immediately after rose to 89k, when a reaction took place, arid they fell to 89i I, and are now 89i, the price, for account, and 89 for money ; the decline came from the money market, which has been plentifully supplied, and a considerable sale having been effected caused for a moment the decline ; the Commissioners were supplied at 891. Exchequer Bills frilly maintain their price, as well as .India Bonds, the former being 62 3, and the latter 92 4 pm. The Foreign Funds, particularly Mexican, have had a trifling rise, but this market generally does not keep pace with the British. Mexican Bonds are 70A- ; Colombian continue at yester day's price, 311 2i ; Danish are 64 ; and Russian have been as high as 951,1 ; Brazilian are 66 7 ; but the Bonds of Buenos Ayres do not rise in the same proportion, being 62 3.

MESNE PROCESS BlLL.—Tltis day, August I, the Attorney General's Bill, which limits .tlie power of arrest, comes - into ' force. By this Act, none of his Majesty's liege subjects, who do not owe to any one person the sum of twenty poilnds, can be arrested on the instant and sent to durance vile, The process now must be where the amount of debt is short of that sum, by a " copy of writ," which leaves the unfortunate debtor plenty of time to make himself perfectly comfortable before he can be t a k e n in execution. The Sheriff's Officers on the Surrey side the water, lo ok extremely blue on the occasion. A wag this m orn i n g stated, they ought to have a dinner of condolence. ALGERINE CAPTURES.—A correspondent inquires how far the British Government would sanction the purchase of vessels, and fitting them out in English ports, by subjects of the Dey of Algiers ; and after being supplied with Algerine Commissions, intending to cruise against French commerce. The inquiry is not from mere curiosity. The noble equestrian figure of king Charles, at Charing-cross, was executed by Le Soeur. It was castin 1633, in a spot of, ground near the church of.Covent garden ; and not being erected before the commencement of the civil war, it was sold by the Parliament to John Rivet, a brazier, in Holborn, with strict orders to break it in pieces; but he produced some fragments of old brass, and concealed the statue and horse under ground until the Iteetotation. It was placed in its present situation in the year l 675, at the expence of the Crown. • , AFFRAY AT CIIRSTER.—On Saturday evening last, a serious affray took place at Chester, between souse soldiers of the 7th Fusileers, now in garrison there, and e party of men employed by Mr. Trubshaw, contractor for the new Dee bridge ; when one of the latter, named Joseph Davies, was so severely hurt by kicks and blows, that he died soon afterwaade.-21fancliester Mercury. davi he I: fend appli Coin giver Lord The be sidir ever, som4 that raise side. with Wert caul dow defer pap( app] betvi - -0 thoti the FA,! trioui MAJ an et mepe sure light phea the N regul ATAJ Frog yeste singl cFN : arid Prin Liii Pala herb had sor-i arril abo abou resit HE}, Mr. had The Boa Min Dui the Rig yest Cia dr) cc Val
