The Chief Baron being of advanced age, and not likely to have issue, some consideration has been bestowed on the descent of the title. He has, it is known, a brother, to whom the estate of A yrdry is entailed ; but this gentleman has for many years been domiciled and naturalised as. a citizen in America. The title, therefore, if pass ing to him on the Baron's death, would have to cross the Atlantic and be lost among Republi cans.

A Professional Man, who has ma de this ex -CI- cruciating Disease his particular study, respectfully informs those labouring under it, that he has, by his mode of treatment, succeeded not only in reducing the pain, but brought it to be so moderate as seldom to confine the pa tienrinoresthan a fortnight. The pain itself in the Gout is found grievous enough to endure, but the consequences of it to a man in active life are, perhaps, more intolerable; who, therefore, in their senses, would be content to undergo many sleepless nights in torture, to suffer their constitution to be debilitated and subdued, their limbs it may be dis torted, or at best rendered almost useless, and to be in a manner excluded from business and the world, when it is in their power to prevent this misery by lowering their pain and shortening its duration? It may be thought the advertiser has made professions beyond his power of per formance, but so confident does he feel of the success of his treatment, that to those arthriticks who may employ him, and find they have been misled, he will most cheerfully allow his advice and attendance to go without remunera tion.

EXECUTION OF THREE SPANIARDS, RICHMOND, AUG. 18.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the execution of the three Spaniards, convicted of piracy and murder on board of the brig Crazyford, they were taken from prison about eleven o'clock, and conducted to the place of execution by the volunteer com panies and the city guard, which were ordered out for the purpose, and a large concourse of persons. The scene which the progresa of the procession presented was truly imposing. Seated in the waggon, placed in the middle of a hollow square formed by the military, and which con tained their coffins, their hwiliating posture, frequent orisons, and appearaffle of devotion and suffering, exhibited them as objects which, in spite of their crime, did not fail to inspire pity. The multitude which attended was immense.— The criminals, from their dress, a blue robe, covering the head, and extending to the feet, were conspicuous to the most distant spectator. When mounted on the scaffold, the Catholic Clergyman, and the interpreter (Dr. Lemosy) joined them in prayer ; at the conclusion of which the interpreter, addressing the public at the request of the prisoners, explained that the prisoners declared that they were not only guilty of the crimes for which they were condemned, and were now about to suffer punishment, but of many other crimes ; that they begged pardon of the public, and asked them to join in their last prayer. The prisoners then declared themselves ready to safer the punishment ; whereupon the Rev. Mr. Kerr addressed the assembled multi tude, which by thousands lined the declivities contiguous to the place of execu tion, now in dense masses exten di n g as far as the eye could reach, and, here and there, in clustering groups , stationed on various elevations for the purpose of having a better view of the scene. The Minis ters descended from the scaffold, after having first bid adieu to the prisoners. The Marshal then, in discharge of his duty, adjusted the fatal cords, and descended from the scaffold, when, at a given signal, th e cordssupport b y of whichthe re moved, and th e were suspended gave way, and the unfortunate Pepe and w Casor ro wretches were • • precipitated to the ground. The horror which this occurrence occasioned caused a rush among the crowd, and a press which was nearly fatal to a few persons. The coolness of the military, however, instantly restored order, and the officers who officiated, and who regretted endeavoured the o ccurrence w hi c h th e y h a d voured to prevent, qUickly repaired this accident , when the two prisoners were again suspended less than five minutes, and after a few convulsive motions, finally which became fainter and fainter, expired. —Amerzcan Paper. Mathews, the Comedian, is in the possession of the finest portrait of Colly Cibber known to exist. The Poet, Player, and Dramatic Writer is painted, we be lieve, by Sir Godfrey Knellcr, a three-quarters length, in the character of Lord Foppiiipton. The beat bust of the laureat is at Strawberry Hill. He appears in a cap when old ; it is coloured from the life, and said to be extremely like. Cibber gave this bust to Kitty Clive, the celebrated actress; and her brother, Mr. Rafter, gave it alter her death, to Mr. Walpole. Saturday night, 11 o'clock, Sept. 22. Notwithstanding the very gloomy and unfavour able stat e of the weather this morning, so great was the attraction of this superb and truly British spectacle, , that the crowds in attendance this morning to wit ness its exhibition infinitely exceeded those who were yesterday present on the lines to view the in spection of the Royal Marines. A little before 11 o'clock the dock-yard gates were thrown open, and the public admitted without distinction. The ar rangements of the Commissioner did him the,great est credit ; nothing was omitted, nothing unforeseen that could add to the splendour of the imposing dis play. On either side of the ship two galleries were erected, containing five tiers of seats each, rising one over the other; and, to guard against the possibility of the fair visitants being inconvenienced by any un favourable change in the weather, awnings composed of sail-cloth were thrown over the roof, and lengths of the same material were extended along the rear. On the right side of the George the Fourth, an ac commodation ladder was erected, which from the side of the dock, judging,by the length to which it reached, must have been at least 40 feet in height, in order to enable every one who felt an inclination, without' the slightest partiality, to ascend and examine the interior arrangements of this splendid " ocean's bul wark.". Above 10,000 persons at the least took ad vantage of the permission, and, with a view of facili tating their egress, and preventing cpnfusion, there was another ladder, which extended from the middle deck, and reached the ground at about five yards dis tance from the former, and by this they descended. The George the Fourth, for her magnitude, is perhaps one of the finest models of naval architec ture that has ever been floated, even from a British dock-yard ; she will mount 120 guns. Her tonnage is over 2,000, and nothing that modern improve ment could suggest has been forgotten in her con struction. Her stern is circular, and built, we be lieve, on the principles laid down by Sir Robert Seppings. The principal part of her cabin furni ture, such as the companion-ladders, doors, drawers, &c. are composed of mahogany. The hand-rails to the leading ladders are of burnished brass, a mate rial which is also used in some of the mouldings; in la word, without going into more minute details, she is in every respect worthy of the patriot Monarch with whose title she is honoured. With every care, and all proper deference for his Royal guests and noble friends, Mr. Commissioner Cunningham had a railed platform covered with sail-cloth, and green baize laid down, froM the door of his residence to a neat pavilion prepared for the reception of the Lord High Admiral and his . Duchess. They, however, did not make their appearance until shortly before the launch took place ; but to prevent the unavoid able tediousness of waiting, two of the garrison bands were stationed in the yard, who wore away the time by playing several martial airs, and the fine band of the Marines were also in attendance on board the vessel. When high-water was announced, an almost ner vous anxiety pervaded the collected multitude, but a few moments, however, intervened, when their Royal Highnesses were seen approaching, followed by a numerous retinue of Adniirals, General Officers, and the Nobility. The moment they were observed the atmosphere was rent with shouts of applause.— " Long live the Lord High Admiral," " Success to the George the Fourth," and other cries of a similar loyal cha'acter, were heard, among the " hum of myriads." At twenty Minutes past oils her Royal'i Highness reached the edge of the water, and, from an elevation constructed for the purpose, flung, with remarkable precision, a bottle of wine at the ship's stern, naming her, and wishing her success. The blocks were almost instantaneously removed, and though there appeared to be some delay in her ad vancing for a moment or two, which the impatience of the crowd magnified almost into so many hours, she slid off the ways amidst the most astounding shouts, and took possession of that element of which she is so superb an ornament. The Union Flag, the Admiral's, and the National, floated on the breeze. When the George the Fourth left the dock, the guns fired a salute from the ramparts, and the bands struck up " Rule Britannina." There were at least 500 persons on board, who must have found some difficulty in reaching the shore, as the accom modation ladder was removed, and the height from the deck to the surface of the water was of a fearful depth. Immediately after the launch, their Royal High nesses proceeded to Bulley-hill, near Rochester, the seat of Sir Henry Blackwood, G.C.8., to spend the afternoon. Amongst the distinguished persons present, we noticed Prince Leopold, the Earl of Darnley, and several other of the neighbouring Nobility, and we cannot conclude this account with out adding, that the day passed with the greatest eclat (ANOTHER ACCOUNT FROAL A EHIP-BUILDICR.) Being present at the launch of this beautiful ship, lam induced to send you the particulars. In con sequence of its being understood that the Lord High Admiral the Duke of Clarence intended to be present, great preparations had been long made, in the erection of booths, &c. for the accommodation of the company. On Saturday morning the gates were thrown open for the admission of the company, and I think for the last 30 years I never remember to have seen more persons assembled, some of whom were of the first respectability. I should here observe, that about half an hour before the launch, the Duchess, accompanied by many highly distinguished personages, proceeded to the head of the ship, for the purpose of naming her; a bottle of choice wine was produced, on it was writ ten, "Part of the stock of Lord Nelson's wine, which he haul on board his ship at the memorable battle of Trafalgar," which the Duchess broke against her bows, wishing success to the George the Fourth. This ship is of the following dimensions : Feet In. Length, extreme 242 2 Ditto of the gun-deck 205 5/ Ditto keel for tonnage l7O 11 Breadth, extreme 53 6 Moulded 59 9 Depth in hold 23 2 Ditto from the keel to the top of the figure head 57 0 Ditto of the stern Burden in tons, 2,602 14-94ths. Number of guns on the Lower Deck ...32 32 pounder guns - Middle do. ...34 32 ditto Upper do. .. 34 24 ditto Quarter do. ...10 82 carronades Ditto ... 6 12 guns Forecastle ... 232 carronades Ditto' ... 2 12 guns Total The George the Fourth is by the same mould as the Prince Regent, and is built with a round stern. I have before offered an opinion on the utility and strength of slaps constructed with circular sterns, the accuracy of which opinion every succeeding ship so eonstructed has corroborated, Was there ever a better plan invented for strength than that of making a cask, so firmly united without nails or any other fastenings but the hoops, that it j 5 almost impossible to break it to pieces. Thus is it to a great degree, with ships built on the present the i a ) t la e l r l n k , s r p en ts d s e in r g t h fr e o s m hip si , d l e i t t e o ra s ll i y d e ap ro ea u k n i d ng tl: bow ae plan, This arrangement, united w i t h t h e diagona l riders,eask makes the whole fabric one substantially connected body, a greater proof of whi c h cannot b e needed, than that when a ship of the above dimensions was formerly launched, it was usual for her to break her• sheer, or, in other words, for each end to drop seve ral inches in the course of a short time, while now Sir, ships built on the present plan, preserve their sheer for many years. This speaks volumes. I take this opportunity of stating the above, to show that the persons who conduct the civil de partment of the navy are not so egregiously in error as some of the writers in the present day would en deavour to make the country believe ; the remarks, indeed, of some of those gentlemen on the experi mental ships lately built, are insulting to common sense. With respect to his Majesty's ship the Acorn, whose construction has been so much the subject of animadversion, I would observe, that if the constructor had been called upon to secure for her no other quality bufthat of fast sailing, he might haa j easily effected this to an eminent degree; but the Acorn was to be able to fight he r g uns in a heav y I sea, they being sufficiently clear at the water's edge for this purpose. Again, had her bottom been formed as fine or sharp as a revenue cutter, where was her cargo to be stowed for a voyage round Cape Horn, or any other distant place ? Let the country wait the result of a few months' more trial, and hear the impartial opinion of the honourable Commodore, and then say which ship's construction shall have the preference. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 22.—0 n Sunday, the Egginton, Lieutenant J. S. Godden, arrived from Callao, last from Rio Janeiro, whither she took provisions for the squadron. She left Rio on July 20, when the Blanche frigate, Captain Mends, was waiting there to bring to England the result of the negociations conducted by M. Garcia, the Buenos Ayrean Minister, for the restoration of peace with the Brazils. The Heron, 18, Hon. Cap tain Grey, was hourly expected to return to Rio with M. Garcia, from Buenos Ayres. Mr. Ricketts Consul-General in Peru, and family, came home in the Egginton. On Tuesday the Amphitrite transport, Lieutenan Ward, Agent, returned from Lisbon, with 120 in , valids from the army, which was rather sickly, and heartily tired of the country. Saw the Wellesley and Warspite, off the rock of Lisbon, on the 2d inst. then seven days from Spithead ; left the Spartiate (flag-ship), and Pyramus, in the T;:gus. On Monday the Maria transport, Lieut. S. P. Pritchard, agent, arrived from St. John's, New foundland, in three weeks, with Major Skinner's company of Royal Artillery. The Orestes, 18, Cap tain Jones, had returned from St. Peter's, where she had been to settle a dispute concerning the Fisheries. The Manly, Lieut. Field, was visiting the various stations around the island; as was also the Gover nor, Sir Thomas Cochrane, in the Forte yacht, pre paratory to his returning to England, in the autumn. Three ships, with settlers on boaid for Canada, had put into St. John's, in great distress, both from want of provisions and repairs ; indeed, the state in which these ships must have left England was most dis graceful, and should be inquired into by competent au thority; one of them, called the Mariaof London,had a plank actually dropping out of her counter. Pas sengers by the Maria—Lieut.-Colonel Lewis, R. E., add Lady, Capt. Lock, and Dr. Lucas, Lieut. and Mrs. Lowe, and Dr. Kiley, R.N. On Monday arrived the Valleyfield, Johnson, from Hambro' for Bombay, for passengers, and sailed again on Thursday; on Tuesday, the Mint, Smith, from Quebec, with timber ; and on Friday, the J us tinian, Smith, from St. PeterSburgh, with hemp, for the dock-yard; Mars, Young, for Bristol ; and Mary, Brickford, from London, for Newfoundland, put in by strong adverse winds. At day-light to-morrow morning, Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy will sail from St. Helen's with the Experimental Squadron, on the third cruise, to try the rates of sailing of the respective ships, com bined with capacity--the desideratum in the con struction of ships of war.

The Right Honourable Cord Yarborough, on Wednesday, paid oft' and laid up for the winter his frigate yacht, the'Falcon. His Lordship during the last summer has visited Lisbon and Gibraltar; and in the beginning of the month, accompanied by several of the yachts of the Royal Yacht Club, visited Cherbourg, at the openirg of the new basins and launching of a three-decked ship. The works at Cherbourg were destroyed by the English in 1758. They were afterwards resumed, on a stupendous scale, by Louis XVI. and carried on till the Revolu tion, when their progress was interrupted; since which, they have been going on with great spirit, and two immense basins, building slips, and the docks connected with them, have been completed. The basins are excavated out of granite rocks; one is 30 feet deep, and the other 60 feet deep ; the ships are launched into, and docked out of, the smaller one, which will contain about 16 sail of the line. The larger basin is for the fleet, when ready for sea, in which 24 sail of the line can be moored, with the greatest ease, by means of sachors inserted in the granite,and, when wanted, can he at sea in a few hours. The two basins communicate with each other, and with the harbour d . The co vers over th e s lips and docks are on a gra!' and magnificent scale; they are erected on granite piers, with the roofs constructed on a most excel lenttheY are regularly slated, eac h roof having a number containing 2 7 windows principb., and executed in a very superior style : of ro ws o f li g ht s , each row co nt . There are two three-decked ships, and two ships of building 100 guns, on two decks , tiered of a most beaut iful form, and are of very large dimensions. T he len g th on their lower decks ng ; they are consi is 21 7 feet, and breadth 57 feet. There are like wise building frigates of very large dimensions, and Engi English a v y i several very large steam-boats. Last evening, Aldhorottgli Richardson, Esq. in in common with all other his yacht, the Zebra, arrived from Cherbourg and the greatest attention from the Guern s 4 ; left the former place on Thursday after noon,French Authorities, and particularly from the Duchesses ofßerri and Angouleme.;who were making a short stay at that garrison, They gave a splendid ball, to which all the English were politely invited, and for whose accommodation the gates of the town were left open all night. These Princesses visited s t r s e , ceived , several of the English yachts during their stay. The Georgiana yacht, T. F. Best, Esq.and the Altisi dora, W. H. Saunders, Es q. were left atCherbourg. No news there. Three Russian brigs of war have arrived here from Cronstadt, bound to the Mediterranean: two of them came into harbour to-dal. is to be made Deputy-Speaker of the House of Lords, for the purpose of assisting the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst, in hearing and de ciding cases of appeal addressed to this High Court. The health of Lord Tenterden has for some time past been such as to render the labo rious and incessant duties of Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench almost too much for him to discharge : though he has never shrunk' from the performance, however great the sacrifice of ease which this required. In the House of Lords; however, his great legal knowledge, varied experience, and excellent temper, will eminently fit him for the duties of his new station : and his services be thus quite as valuable to the commu nity, at the same time that they will be much more agreeable to himself. Sir James Scarlett, the present Attorney-Ge neral, is, we hear, to be raised immediately to the bench, and to fill the distinguished situation of Lord Chief Justice, the Court in which, for so many years, he has taken the lead at the bar. — We apprehend that this appointment will give universal satisfaction. The talentq, experience, temper, moderation, character, and manners of Sir James Scarlett, combine to point him out at the bar, for the post to which he is about to be called. Though uniformly consistent in his po litical views and attachments, which have always been on the side of liberal measures ; yet, his forensic duties and reputation have occupied so much larger a share of public attention than his Parliamentary labours, that the political has been almost absorbed in the legal character, and the occasionally patriotic member much less known than the daily and hourly distinguished and suc cessful advocate. His elevation to the bench will, therefore, be likely to receive the congratu lation of all parties ; and, from no inconsiderable experience of his extraordinary qualifications, we should deem it quite safe to predict that as a Judge, lie will attain even far higher reputation, both among his contemporaries, and with poste rity, than he has yet enjoyed as a Barrister : though, by universal consent, he has for years past stood at the highest point of eminence, which this grade of his profession would admit. Mr. Brougham is named as the successor of Sir James Scarlett, in the office of Attorney- General. That this will raise an outcry on the part of the defeated faction of the " Outs," and their disappointed advocates, who can doubt ? The commanding eloquence, and the undaunted firmness of Mr. Brougham, as the leading organ of the Whigs in the House of Commons, have brought on him—as the same qualities have, in other days, brought on the most distinguished men that ever sat within the walls of Parliament, the hatred and reviling of all who desire to bring the principles, of which he is the representative, into disesteem. When truth cannot be dis proved, nor arguments refuted, the common practice of those who are defeated by these power ful weapons, is to resort to calumny. Alen of the lowest understandings are competent to the task of abusing those of the highest ; and slanderous epithets, and assertions, may be easily created by one blockhead, and repeated, ad illfinition, by others. It is easier also to comprehend a ca lumnious imputation than to follow out a train of reasoning, or fathom a well drawn induction. Hence it is, that in all vulgar minds, slanderous aspersions and insinuations are sure to meet a more welcome reception than higher or nobler matter. With the vulgar, among the ad vocates of bigotry and tyranny,—and these are unfortunately as often found among the higher as among the lower orders of so ciety,—the name of Mr. Brougham has been, therefore, associated with all the calumny that the John Bull, the Age, and similar prints, have endeavoured to affix to it. , But, with the great mass of the nation, and with the whole of the intelligent and liberal portion of it, the name of Mr. Brougham is associated with all that is ele vated and enlightened in politics and literature. Of him ; it is really no flattery to say, that he is without an equal, among his countrymen, for the extent and variety of his attainments. His ever-active mind seems, at some period or other of his youth, to have been turned to the study and contemplation of all that a mortal can desire Languages, the Arts , La w, Commerce —all seem to know. History, Politics, Science, Literature , equally familiar to his capacious understanding; and ,nothing, however unimportant or minute, a ppears __ to have eluded his grasp.

The other a ppointments spoken of are, that of ST. JAMES'S PARK. By order of the House of Commons, a plan has just been printed, showing the alterations proposed in St. James's Park, and we are there fore now able to speak with something like pre- cision on this interesting subject. It is gratify ing to find that the convenience and enjoyment of7thepublic have been most fully attended to. The interests of pedestrians especially, and they compose the class of the community which' in such cases is entitled to the first consideration, have been amply provided for. No fresh restric tions will be imposed upon them, while a variety of new and extensive walks will be devoted en- tirely to their use. The parade will undergo no change whatever; it will neither be enlarged nor diminished. The present carriage-ioad on the north side of the, Park will be done away with, and the northern mall will become its substitute, while a new mall will be made at some short distance further from the side of the Park. By this alteration the public will be considerably nefitted, for the size of the Park will not be at all curtailed ; and, instead of the sombre dead wall and dull gardens which border on the pre sent carriage -road, there will be a handsome row of houses, fronted by a terrace. On the northern side of the houses we just mentioned, and to the southward of Pall-mall, there will be two new streets, running into each other in a right line, which will be called Carlton-house-street, and Marlborough-house-street. Waterloo-place will be continued into Carlton-house-street, and the buildings now erecting and to front Pall-mall, namely, the United Service Club, the Athe nnum, the Travellers' Club, and the Heralds . College, will have handsome gardens on the Carlton-house-street side ; and as there will be a direct communication from Marlborough= house-street to the Park, this may almost be considered as an enlargement of it. This part of the alterations, viewed upon the plan, striker us as combining at once good taste, convenience, and economy. At the end of the Northern Mall and carriage road a noble effect will be produced by the King's Palace, and the laying out of the ground immediately fronting it. At the end of the Palace Court-yard there will be a triumphal arch, and a short straight road of handsome dimensions will lead from thence to the Mall. On either side of this way there will be a grass-plat planted with shrubs, and bounded by a semi-circular road, the one end going into James-street, the other going into the present Green Park carriage road, which leads ,to Hyde Park-corner, and the centre form the termination of the Mall. By this alteration Buckingham-gate will become useless, and will therefore be remov ed. At the back of his Majesty's Palace them will be a fine terrace, and the distance will be occupied by a garden and a piece of ornamental water. In the centre of the Park an admirable alteration will be made. The present dingy pedestria ns. enlarging the present There palings which enclose the part laid out in grass are to be swept away, the ground is to be planted as a garden, and a variety of gravel walks are to be s a e laudlo someo out for the ou bene fit ght o f of piece of ornamental water. It is proposed, according to the plan, to extend it at either end, and to form two or three small islands which are to be planted with shrubs. On the south side of the Park there will be a handsome road of communication for private carriages, from GreAt. George-street to Grosvenor-plate, which wilt be faced by a terrace and rows of houses similar to those on the north side ; and at the back of them will stand the barracks of the King ' s new szables. Such are the proposed alterations, and on the whole their effect will be to add greatly to the beauty of the Park, and to the convenience of the public. Whichever way the spectator m a y turn, instead of being presented with the dull monotonous dead wall, and the irregular and dreary-looking backs of houses which now too often meet the eye, he will invariably be gratified by objects of a striking character and handsome appearance.

Deputy herself: Routh, o she was sub sequent l y marr i ed, contracted an acqu a i n t ance w i t h a man, to who but stillretained her situation. Lately, however, she had heard that her husband had got another wife and several children, residing at Dock-head, Rotherhithe. On Saturday she re •aired thither, accompanied by her br o th er and sister, and on her arrival found the stateroom of her husband's villany too true. After a scene of the most afflicting nature, she returned in a state of great despondency. On arriving at the bottom of Garlick Hill, Thames street, she stepped away from them, and ran down Bull Wharf-lane. From the top of the wharf' she jumped into a barge, and from thence over a boat with a boy in it into the river. The lad was for a moment panic struck, but recovering himself, immediately caught hold of one of her arms, and called for assistance. Several water men at Queenhithe-stairs instantly lent their aid, and drew her on the gunnel of the boat ; but the unfortunate woman made a most desperate tc sistance, endeavouring to plunge further into the stream, and at last forced herself from 0 ofthe boat, and sunk, They again succeeded in getting into hold of her, and conveyed her the King's Arms, at Queenhithe, apparently lifel ess. After being bled, and put into a wa rm bed, she some what recovered, but sho rtl y fell into strong hysterics, and remained all ni g ht in an alarming state of delirium. l4r.
