sup,erior man (and leis Lordship, we hope, will Pardon us the liberty), a ppears to us unreasonable and wicked, but we trust it ruffles not the sere ttity of his mind, nor casts a cloud over the quiet athl tranquil evening of his days. Retrospection ti)ote his past life will affurd him a refuge against the storm, and yield him more sure, more lasting, and more imperishable satisfaction than the empty praisps of the world. But if the esteem of those who know him, and the respect and regard of all the noble, th e good, and the excellent, are objects of his desire, let him be assured he pos sesses the m in a far greater degree than his un as's inning mind will perhaps permit him to ima gine or expect. A all lon paragraph in our Paper of yesterday announced the prospect of a dividend in the bankruptcy of Messrs. MAnsu & Co., the pay ment of which would be.delayed until the deci sion of the Directors of the Bank of England, as to -the propriety of further p r os e cuting their . claims, was known. Tfiese claims arise out of the forgeries committed by one of th e p ar t ne rs of Elie bankrupts, upon different persons having money in the public funds, of which the Bank of England has the sole and exclusive management. Under these circumstances we should .wish to know by what process of reasoning the Bank of England can arrive at the conclusion that they are entitled to come in with the rest of the cre ditors of the bankrupts. There were no dealings betwee n the parties, and nothing pon which a ce ntract between th em cou ld even be u implied, and therefore this attempt on the part of the Directors 'to raise a claim upon the estates of the bank "Pts, and thereby to retard the final settlement 'l3f their affairs, appears to us entirely un -I,lfkrranted and unprecedented. The legal ad visers of the Directors must be aware that every P r inciple of law and equity is opposed to them, and that, an . the ground of moral justice, they ttave no claim to be reimbursed one shilling of t he money which their own neglect, and tarelessness, has caused them to lose. As ma 'begets 0 the public debt they receive an annual I tiPaud for their trouble, and standing in the e y e s of the law as bailers for reward, are thus reudered liable for any loss of the property placed in their hands, not occasioned by the act "God . or the King's enemies.

THE THEATREi:.. HAYMARKET.—We have never witnessed' so large an audience us attended this Theatre, last night, to see the Farce of The Deaf Lover, the Comedy of The Heir at Law, and the Barletta of Midas. The Farce went off very well with the assistance of FA name, in the part of Meadows. It is a very extravagant production, but it is diverting. In The Heir at Law, IiAtILEY made his first appearance, for the season, in the part of • Doctor Panglon. Ile was received as a favourite on hi., entrance, and his per formance prolonged the applause. I.rsTox's Lord Duberley was, as usual, highly ludicrous. The Barletta of Alidas retained most of the audience, particularly as the wise Justice was re presented by LisToN. Mrs. VESTIUS (we wonder She should like to he styled a Madam), was en cored in " Pray Goody," hut she flourished it too much, and destroyed the simple vivacity of the air.y which is understood to have been composed by ROUSSEAU, and therefore should not have been improved by such interpolations, from respect to that celebrated Author. ENGLISH OFZILA DOUSE.-The terrific Drama, entitled Presumption,' or, The Fate of Frank enstein, which a few seasons ago was so popular at this Theatre, was revived last night with all its original horrors. The part of the indescri bable monster, the dreadful hero of the piece, was performed by its original representative, Mr. 'l'. P. Cooke, and it excited the same feelings of surprise and horror. To Mr. BAILER was assign ed the part of Frankenstein, and he seemed to be sufficiently terrified by the horrible , offspring of his own creation. The house was very well attended, and had a large proportion of the fashioNable world. BIRMINGHAM THEATRIC.—Mr. Kgkli made his appearance at our Theatre on Monday. His first appearance since his judicial debut in his favourite character of Richard 111. A few minutes before the curtain drew up there were not above two persons in the lower boxes, though the number at the time of his enire had increased to about thirty, aril afterwards to a hundred, among whom were twelve females. The gallery benches were by no means numerously filled, and Kean's friends in the pit about half tilled it. On his appearance on the stage a loud burst of applause proceeded from most of the audience, and the few hisses were stifled in the uproar. One lady in the centre of the pit appeared quite carried away by her excess of feeling, for standing up with something in her hand resembling a towel, she waved it in a most enthusiastic, and to Mr. Kean no doubt, gratifying manner. When the applause had a little subsided, and the hisses became more audible, this heroine looked round with a most terrifying aspect, threatening every one that ex pressed disapprobation with annihilation. It must be confessed, however, that the hisses were few in number, as those persons who, from feelings of morality, or dislike to the peculiarities of Kean's acting, did not /wish to patronise him, had generally pursued the wise plan of keeping at home, and the play pro ceeded in a very orderly way. On Tuesday, the theatre was miserably attended to see Kean as Shylock. The house on Wednesday might was wretched in the extreme; and who would have imagined that the thinnest house during the season would have been that on which the Kean performed Othello ! He was evidently highly indignant, and though the few that had mustered on the occasion gave him several rounds of ap plause, he only deigned to notice them by one single slight in clination of his head. He stood erect, with his back partly turned towards the audience, who tried, in vain, to soothe his wounded spirit. On Thursday the theatre was rather better attended, yet only very moderately, when Kean exhibited Sir Giles Overreach, a l'ordinairc. Last night the fashionables assembled in very small numbers to patronise Kean in Lear, and the performances during the week have been worsiteat tended than any week the present season.—(Birminghurn Jour nal, July 23.) SINCLAIR, of Covent Garden Theatre, wills!. recently performing the part of Apollo in the burletta of Midas, on the Liverpool stage, when in the act where he is supposed to fall from the clouds, was precipitated upon a hard board, in stead of the usual blanket sustained by three or four of the porters, by which he sustained consi derable personal injury. He is, however, by great care, recovered from the effects of the fall, and is now in London. By the Jamaica mail which arrived yesterday, letters from Lima to the 18th March have been received. They state, but as a rumour only, that a proposition for a surrender had been made to BOLIVAR by General RODIL, the Governor of Callao--an event which the hopelessness of a protracted resistance on his part renders extremely probable. The capitu lation drawn up by RODIL, was said to consist of 16 articles; and it was understood that Captain . HALING, commander of his Majesty's ship Cambridge, then off Callao, was to be the guarantee for RoDit.'s carrying all the stipulations contained in it into effect. This account, it is scarcely necessary to ob• serve, completely falsifies a statement brought lately by way of Puerto Cabello, that Callao had been carried by assault, and that all the garrison had been put to the sword by BoLsvale. The Jamaica papers supply no local intelligence of importance. Some parts of the island had been flooded by the heavy rains, which were attended by severe gales of wind ; but no injury of any consequence is reported. The roads in many places were rendered impassible by the violence of the floods. KINGSTON, JUNE Majesty's ship Rattlesnake, Captain Patton, anchored at Port-Royal yester day, in ten days from Honduras.. By the Rattlesnake we learn, that on the 26th ult. the Beaver brig of war, with the schooners Isabella and Bristol, arrived at Omoa. A pirate being stated to be in the neighbourhood, boats were manned from the vessels to go in search of her: the one that Captain Thomas commanded unfortunately upset, and he was drowned. The Beaver was cruising, in hopes of falling in with the pirates._ The schooner Isabella, 'Williamson, was to sail from Honduras or London in four days after the Rattlesnake had sailed. A letter from Panama, of the 22d of April, states that the Santander, Colombian corvette, which was taken possession of by her crew whilst at anchor in that bay, on the sth August, was on the coast of Guatemala the end of Novem ber, committing depredations. She had taken a brig called the 111;dio Atm:do, of Guayaouil, which she plundered, as well as the passengers on board, arid afterwards abandoned her ; also a schooner, called the Acana, which she sunk. M. RAGou, a Member of the ilaytian House of Representatives, who lately arrived in this coun try on a private mission from that Government, died on Sunday last of a fever, brought on, ns is supposed, by the heat of the weather. lie is said to have expressed much disappointment at not having been received with greater marks of dis tinction here, having been led to suppose that this Government were inclined to pursue the same course with respect to St. Domingo which they had adopted towards the new American States. His immediate business in this country related, we believe, to the formation of an association for trading and mining in St. Domingo.—(Times.) The four Canadian Chiefs have taken their passage in the Caledonia merchantman, which sails on Saturday for Quebec. They appear delighted with their excursion to England, par ticularly at the attention paid tp them in the metropolis. Th e ne w wharfs running from Waterloo Bridge along the Belvidere-road, are among the more useful of recent public improvements.

Dr. JENKINsON, late Dean of Wor cester, was consecrated the Bishop of St. David, at Lambeth Palace, in the ancient style, and with the customary formalities. In consequence of the indisposition, we regret to state, of the Archbishop of CANTEnnutty; the cerenttlny 'of installing Doctor 3enkinsote was per formed, by the grant of - the - Archbishop, by the Lord Bishop of LondOn, in the presence of four other Bishops. As soon as the ceremony had concluded, the bells, of Lambeth Church rang merry peals on the occasion. SCOTTISH MILITARY ACADEWY.—Yesterday a public meeting was held in the Waterloo Hotel, for the purpose " of promoting the establishment, on a permanent basis, and. on ' principles similar to those adopted by the late Captain Scott, of a Scottish Military Academy; Loid•.RonEnT KERR in the Chair. His Lordship having stated the object for thief the meeting had been called together,.a serks of resolutions were moved by Sir Patrick Walker, and seconded by Col. .Al'Vain. The meeting was then addressed in a short speech by the Bight Hon. the Lord .Provost, who expressed his satisfaction with the 1 resolutions, and approved of the plan of such an institution, by ' Dr. John Itiorthwiek Gilchrist, &c.

GEORGE COLEMAN once a s k e d if h e were being acquainted with TOEODORE MOE, replied, " Oh yes; nook' and 1 (eye} are ea nue ciates." P 0 E T It T. THE SUMMER MORNING. The cocks have now the morn foretold, The sun again begins to peep, The shepherd, whistling to his fold, Unpens and frees the captive sheep. O'er pathless plains, at early hours, The sleepy rustic slowly goes ; The dews, brush'd off from grass and flowers, Bernoistening sop his harden'd shoes : While every leaf that forms a shade, And every flow'rets silken top, And every-shivering bent and blade, Stoops, bowing with a diamond drop. But soon shall fly those diamond drops, The red-round sun advances higher, And stretching o'er the mountain tops, Is gilding sweet the village spire. 'Tis sweet to meet the morning breeze, Or list the gurgling of the brook ; Or, stretch'd beneath the shade of trees, Peruse and pause on Nature's book. When Nature every sweet prepares . To entertain our wish'd delay,— The images which morning wears, The Trak'oing charms of early day ! Now let me tread the meadow paths, While glitt'ring dew the ground illumes, As, sprinkled o'er the whiffing swaths, Their moisture shrinks in sweet perfumes. And hear the beetle sound his horn, And hear the sky-lark whistling nigh, Sprung from - his bed of tufted corn, A hailing minsfrel in the sky. ORTING INTELLIGENCE.

It was thought Hesperus would have won this heat. Second Heat.—This was as raffling and as fine a heat as we ever saw ; Palatine made strong play all the way, the Doctor waiting on him till nearly home, when he let loose, and won by nearly a length. The ensuing CAN TERITORY RACES will (if we may judge from the number of horses entered) prove more than usually attractive to the sorting world. These races, which formerly ranked amongst the most celebrated, have till within these few years dwindled sway, but owing to the patronage of several distinguished individuals they have now resumed that promi. nent situation they formerly occupied. Independent of the turf there are many amusements, such as elegant balls, theatri cals, fireworks, &c. &c. The FAIRNESS of the LATE FIGHT DISPUTED. Yesterday was the time appointed for giving up the one thousand sovereigns to Ward's backer; but to the surprise of every one, the Stakeholder had some hesitation in giving up the money, in consequence of a note he had received from Mr. Mayne in the morning, which implied that doubts existed whether Cannon was fairly beaten. There was also another letter from Capt. Radford, Cannon's umpire, stating that it was Mr. flayne's desire that the stakes should be withheld for a week, to give an opportunity for clearing away any doubts as to the fairness of the fight. The stakeholder, and all who saw the battle, had no doubts, nor did any one hear of such until then. The stakeholder had no other interest than to act fairly ; and at the suggestion of the sportsmen then assembled in Tat terrall's room, he paid 1,00/. over to Mr. Nouvall, who staked for IWard. THE LION FIGHT. On Thursday last seven dogs passed through the Potteries, by the independent coach, from Liverpool ; six of which are matched to fight the lion. They were secured conveniently in a strong basket, and are of the large mastiff kind, with a cross of the bull-dog. They have a powerful and ferocious appear ance.—( Pottery Gazette, July 23.) Notwithstanding the various reports to the contrary, the com bat will certainly take place here on Tuesday. Some of the dogs which are intended to engage the royal beast are already in town. Two of them since their arrival being chained at too short a distance apart, attacked each other—one of them being scalped by his antagonist, became so furious, that he seized him by the throat. and actually tore his windpipe out.—( Warwick Advertiser., July 23.) Conversation has lately turned on a proposi tion- which had been , made, in consequence of the reading of u Memoir which had been ad dressed to the Academy of Sciences, respecting tl►e non-contagious nature of the yellow fever, by Dr. Coga-Sicre. The author, in conjunc don with 'Drs. Lassis and Lasserre, has pro posed the Government to permit vessels from countries actually affected with the plague and yellow fever to come here, with things 'belonging to individuals who have died of those disorders, but subjected to a quarantine of forty days in the port to which they may be consigned under the special surveillance of a Commission, to be composed of the most expe rienced practitioners in medicine. It is said that the Baron de Paymaurin, Director of the Mint, who, in yesterday's Gazette de France had ex pressed a contrary opinion, is desirous of being a Member of the Commission of the Royal Medical Academy, to whom the proposition has been transmitted. The Academy of Sciences has al ready nominated a Commission to examine this important question ; it is composed of MM. Portal, Chaussin, Dupuytren, Dumeril, and Ma gend►e.-- (Constjtutionnel.) Iu consequence of shortness of water, the Cam bridge steam-boat is laid by for the present. Upwards of sixty persons were drowned within the last fortnight ? from battling. THE ARMY.

CORONER'S INQUEST.-Last evening a Coro. ner's Inquisition was taken at the Crown, High street, Lambeth, before R. CARTER, Esq. Coro ner for Surrey, on the mutilated body of a young gentleman, named Mark Salter, who was dis covered lying dead in Larkhall.lane, South Lam beth, with his bead nearly severed from his body. The deceased, e, ho was respectably connected, was about 22 years of age, and had formed an ardent attachment to a young. Ind y, named Cooper, about his own age ; but his ad dresses had latterly been received with ‘cool ness, which had so preyed on his mind, that a short time since he attempted to commit Ali c:cle, but happily was prevented by his friends and relatives from perpetrating the rash act.— Ilowever, from that period he became melan. choly and desponding; and although every means had been resorted to, to turn the dreadful malady by amusing him, it seemed to increase in an alarming degree, 04 he took himself daily.to some fields adjoining Larkhall•lane, where be indulged in the deepest melancholy, and...kept himself secluded from all society. Ws mast ners were so singular, that he excited , the notice of the inhabitants of .some hutmeai near the spot he had chosen for his meditd. Lions. On Sunday morning, as usual, the un happy young man was seen by a gentleman nataed Burford, parading about in a very ques amiable manner, and all of a sudden he lost sight of him, and on looking about he found him slt. Ling, absorbed in thought, in a gup in the field, and after acting very incoherently, he proceeded into Larkhall-lane, where he was shortly after found with his throat cut, and the dreadful in strument (a razor) was lying by his side, covered with clotted gore. Evidence having beet► given to the above facts, the Jury returned a verdict of —" Insanity." The spire of Neon Church, Shrewsbury, •was •. burnt down by lightning on Wedtiesitly A great reduction has taken place in the price of American timber. A cargo, or rather part of two cargee of American pine, was disposed of by public sale at Leith' Oc. Thursday, sixpence to ninepence a foot below what it could be bought for a few weeks ago, and this notwithstanding an unpre cedented consumption of that article in this City and . else where. The reduction can therefore be only ascribed to very extensive importation. The Leith Wet Docks are at prevent nearly covered wira floating timber, and there is a number of vessels in the Roads, timber-loaded, besides what are yet ex pected.—(Caledonian Mercury.) At the Wexford Assizes, on Wednesthiv lad', an action of some importance was tried, in which John Nixon Nunn, Esq., was plaintiff, and Francis Wyse., EN. defendant. t was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for writing and publishing a falSe and ma licious libel, reflecting on the plaintiff's character ,as - a Magistrate of the county of Wexford, which libel was contain ed in two letters, one (a private one) written to John flrc.. Esq., barrister-at-law, the other enclosed therein to N. P. O'Gorman, Esq., being to the Catholics of Ireland, - and both directed to the care of Counsellor O'Connell, Merlon-square, Dublin.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001. and costs. About the Ist June last, a Walrus, or Sea horse, was discovered on the rocks of Fierceness, on Eday, oth ney ; ur.d having been shot at and wounded by one of 111 r. Lain - g'„ shepherds there, it took to sea, and was followed by him, and some others, in a boat.' The man fired a second time, and .had the good fortune to pierce the animal through the eyes : he now lay on the water apparently lifeless ; but, upon the boat coming alongside, and one of the men catching hold of the fore-paw, the walrus made a sudden plunge, and carried the man .to the bottom with him ; and it was with difficulty, upon his risi.ag to the surface, that he was got back to the boat. Another ef fective shot, however, enabled them to finish the animal, and they towed him ashore in triumph. The skin of the walrus, which is now dried, measures 15 feet by 14 feet ; and the .usks, which appear much worn at the ends, protrude from the head' about 12 inches. The entire skull is in the possessiob of Mr. Scarth, Mr. Lain F's factor, and is to be sent to the Edinburgrt hluseum. This is the first instance of any of those formidable inhabitants of the polar regions having been seen off the coasts of Great Britain. ACCIDENT IN DUBLIN BA Y.— In cons.'quenCe of :its being known that a nephew of Mr. Wright, of West morland.strtet, was one of the unfortunate' boating party dim. sailed from Dunleary about three weeks ago, and of which . - tiJ intelligence has since been received, two boatmen called ,On Mr. Wright to inform him of their having picked up the body of a man whilst sailing in the bay. Mr. W. immediately repaired to Bullock, where the body was landed, and upon examining*, ' found the fat tart of the fade literally eatep -away . ,-.and the Conn tenanee altogether so much disfigured that none of the features were distinguishable. From other circumstances, however, Mr. Wright was satisfied that the body was mot his nephew's. The clothes were perfect, and consisted of a blue coat, black vest, and dark cloth trousers, stripped red and white silk neck kerchief, and short g rey stockings. About the person was dis covered a memorand um, with the following nr.mes:—" Sir Wm. 11 Mrs. Cope, Mrs. Casey, Miss Forth, M iles O'Reilly, Mrs. Bloxham." There were several other names, which, from the action of marine acid upon the ink, were totally illegi- • ble. From those circumstances it is conjectured that he might have been a steward belonging to some placket, who had. acci dentally fallen overboard. On Wednesday morning last, CIiARLIS, the youngest son of the late T. DYNE, Esq.(auctipoeer of London), fell, by the breaking of the branch, from a tree at Wick, and was so much injured as to survive the accident but a very 'bort lilac.— ( Brig . litvo HeraklJ ' .
