Sr. ETIIELDREDA.—This day is the anniver sary of St. Etheldreda ; she was a Princess of distinguished piety, and daughter of Aunas, King of the East Angles, and Heriswitha, his Queen, and was born in the year 630, at li ning, a small village in Suffolk; at an early age she made a vow of perpetual chastity, which it is recorded she never broke, though she was twice married, first to Thombert, an Eng &lt Lord, and afterwards to Egfrid, King of Northumber land, in 671. Having lived twelve years with this King, she retired from the world, and devoted herself to God and reli. gious contemplation, erecting an abbey at Ely, of which she became superior, and where she passed the remainder of her days. The monastery, in which both Monks and Nuns lived in society and regular order, continued to flourish for near two hundred years after her death, which happened in 679 ; but in 870 the Danes made a descent on the isle, destroyed the monastery, and slaughtered the inhabitants. A painting on glass in the Bishop's palace, Ely, represents St. Ethel dreda with a crook, or pastoral staff, in her right hand, and in her left she holds an open book, on which her eyes are fixed with great earnestness.. This is also the anniversary of the battle of Durham, in which David King of Scotland was taken prisoner, 1346 ; and yesterday of Ridley, Bishop of London, being burnt at Oxford, 1555 ; of a greet hurricane at Oxford, 1773; of a large plantation in the parish of St. Jo seph, B.trbadoes, being removed to another site, 1784 ; decapi tation of the Queen of France, 1783; and arrival of Buona parte at St. Helena, 1815. _ • L OUD PITERBOItOUGII, when a widower, be came deeply enamoured of the accomplished Anastasia Robin son, daughter of a painter; who, though an opera-singer and a teacher of music and the Italian language, to support an aged parent, rejected all his advances tending to an illicit connexion. The Earl, dreading a total loss of the fair Anastasia, married her privately, and concealed the circumstance, till, in 1735, he publicly owned what most people knew before. He proclaimed his marriage in the following singular manner. He went one evening to the rooms at Bath, where a servant was ordered distinctly and audably to proclaim "Lady Peterborough's car. riage waits." DUFItESNE, the celebrated French actor, was once interrupted during his performance by a gentleman in the pit, who called out " You speak too low, Sir." "And you too loud," replied the actor. _ . EXT RA 0 RDINA Icy EXECUTION.—In the year 1136, King RAsinto caused this execution :.---The ciieF offi cers of state in A rragon having treated the King with 'Hare. spect, he called an assembly of the state, under pretext of con sulting them concerning a bell which he was going to have made of so considerable a magnitude, that the sound of it would be heard all over the kingdom. When the members of the states were come, they were led one after another into the King's apartment, and there strangled. Their dead bodies were heap ed up in the form of a bell, in the great hall. Afterwards the Prime Minister was brought, whom the King asked, what he thought of that new invention of bells ? and wethcr there was still any thing wanting to it ? He answered, " Nothing but a clapper." " You are right," said the King; " and I intend that place for you." This said, he caused him to be executed, and hung up in the midst of them in the manner of a clapper. After this eruel execution, the King sent for the sons of the murdered, to be spectators of this sad sight. The places of their fathers were indeed given them, but with a strict injunction not to participate of their crimes. GLADIATORS.--It was under the Consulate of Appius Claudius and M. Fabius, that the children of Brutus, anxious to honour the memory of their father, first exhibited at Rome a combat of Gladiators. This horrid and disgusting spectacle was received with transports by the Romans, and was frequently repeated on the triumph of Christianity over Pa ganism, when they were firmly established. 'But, however the sight of men maiming and destroying each other might afford amusement to The great mass of the Roman people, it was strongly reprobated by many of the philosophers, such as Seneca and Pliny the younger. Yet, in their time, this ridi culous and c.ztravagant mania had arrived at such: a pitch of extravagance that the sons of Senators and Roman Knights did not blush to enter the arena, to . combat with wild beasts, in imitation of the vilest among the Gladiators or AthletEs.— But the evil did not stop here. We are informed by Suetonius and by Dion Cassius, that the wives of Roman Senators, for. getting at once the modesty and timidity of their sex, were seen combatting in the Circus! And this disgusting practice con. tinued until the reign of Sevcrus, who justly forbade an exhi bition so unfeminine and disgusting. EMPIRES are sometimes ruled by very humble individuals. Thus Antony ruled the whole world ; he was go verned by Cleopatra; Cleopatra was ruled by Dellius, the con fidant and yet the rival of Antony ; and one of Cleopatra's waiting women ruled Dellius, and consequently might be justly considered as governing the world. The FRENCH. POET MA LSIIERBE, though, pos. sessing great sensibility, felt a singular contempt for men. After mentioning the murder of Abel by Cain, he exclaimed, " A fine beginning they made of it. There were only three or four of them in the world, and one of them kills his brother !" Thr. LATE CAPTAIN COCHRANE.—Captain J. DUNDAS COCHRANE, R.N., whose death at Valencia, South America, is briefly announced in another part of our paper, was perhaps the most extraordinary pedestrian traveller upon record. At the conclusion of the general peace, he traversed on foot the countries of France, Spain, and Portugal ; and in 1820, he offered to undertake a journey into the interior of Africa; to explore the source of the Niger. To accomplish this object, it was even his intention to have sold himself as a slave to one of the owners of caravans travelling in that country. The Admiralty,,however, to whom he made the request, either from regard to the safety of his person, or because they considered such an expedition foreign to their department, were unfavour.. able to the plan. He subsequently set out with an intention of travelling round the globe, as nearly as it can be done by land, crossing from northern Asia to America, at Behring's Straights —all this, too, on foot, his circumstances admitting of no other mode. His leading object was to trace the shores of the Polar Sea along America, by land, as Captain Parry is now attempt ing to do by sea. Having arrived at St. Petersburgh, anti ob tained letters of recommendation and protection from the Em peror Alexander, he set out to traverse Siberia to Kamtschatka or Behring's Straits, but had not proceeded far, when, as he was travelling through a forest, he was attacked by robbers, who first stripped him naked, and then left him tied to a tree, from which disagreeable situation he was released by a boy, who happened to be passing that way. His ardour, however, was by no means abated by this untoward circumstance, for he still pursued his journey, and after encountering incredible dan gers, all of which are fully described in his " Pedestrian Tour," he succeeded in reaching Kamtschatka. While there, however, he became fully aware of the impracticability of his plan, and returned to Europe. In the course of this extensive journey, he states that he travelled upwards of 6,000 miles at the ex pence of only one guinea. This persevering and astonishing pedestrian traveller was nephew of that distinguishad and re spected officer, the Hon. Admiral Sir Alexander J. Cochran, G.C.B.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) MRS. BELZONI.-It is in some degree a public duty to draw attention to the situation of this Lady. She is the inheritor of the misfortunes and ought to be inheritor of the valuable treasures which her husband's enterprizing and indefati gable zeal discovered, and which he sent to this country, where they ought to remain as a national monument.—The hand of the law, however, has seized on those treasures, and they will be sold in detail, and for a mere trifle compared with the real value of such re• mains of antiquity, which must be highly gratify ing to men of taste and learning,and which would be ornamental to the country. Mrs. SALMON, one of the best vocal performers that this country has ever produced, is gone to Italy for the recovery of her health, accom panied by her son and daughter. We are glad to hear that, whether she will be able to appear in public again or not, the exertion of her talents has secured her a comfortable provision for the decjjne of life. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. (SUNDAY AFTEnoox, 3 o'Cr.ocK.)—The present meeting augurs well to make ample amends for the deficiency of the last. The stakes and matches are numerous and important, the weather beautiful, and the different courses in admirable condition. From the many arrivals which have already taken place, the number of lodgings engaged, the unusual proportion of matches, and the interest of the meeting in general, a very full attendance is anticipated. His Royal Highness the Duke of York has arrived, and is now gone to Cheveley, where he will remain during the week, in the course of which his Royal Highness will join in a grand Battoo in the woods with Lord Westmoreland, &c. Great havoc has been committed amongst the game. His Royal Highness, with the Duke of Rutland, Lord Westmorland, and Mr. Sloan, having, in one day last week, at Cheveley, killed 321 head. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold slept on Friday night at the Rutland Arms, on his road to Lord Westmorland's, on a visit. We understand the Duke of Rutland has invited his Royal Highness to Cheveley for the week's racing and shoot ing, and it is expected that the invitation will be accepted. Thu following are some of the present arrivals Grace the Dukc of Grafton, Lord Euston, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Verulam ' Lord and Lady Anson, Lord and Lady Rendlesham, Lord and Lady Stradbrooke, Hon. Mr. and Lady C. Powlett, Sir J. Shelley, Hons. G. Anson, Wynd ham, Mr. S. and Lady C. Wortley, Mr. Greville, Colonel Rus sell, Mr. Lushington, &c. • The show of horses on the exercise ground this morning was very grand, upwards of 200 being there. Among them were the following: From Robson's stables—Rufus, Bolero, and Tarandus; Bolivar, Polio, and other Derby and Oaks colts and fillies, for next year, who took their gallops in good style, and look well. From Lord Jersey's stables were Middleton, Spermaceti, and his Derby and Oaks horses. Lord Lowther's Monarch (a Derby colt) looks well, and is a powerful and fine goer. The General, Sophist, (Derby colts), Scandal, Crusader, Don Carlos, Bizarre, Adeliza, Camel, Cricketter, Stumps, and several 2-yr-olds were also at exercise. The Marquis of Exeter's studd looks admirably well,. and we are happy to add that Redgauntlef is taking his walking exercise, and appears to be recovering very fast frorn.his acci dent at Doncaster. An unfortunate accident happened on Thursday last to the Duke of Portland's famous horse Surplus; while running a trial with some young ones, he broke his leg. Robinson was on him, but escaped unhurt. Memnon is expected here at Mr. Cliffthey's stables in a few days from Baby Castle. The betting has been brisk at the following odds : To.morrow.-25 sovereigns Stakes.-6 to 4 agst Camel; taken. Garden Stakes.-6 to 4 agst Vitellina. Matches.-6 and 7t04 on Don Carlos agst Surprise; 6to 4 on Nowell's c. by Aladdin, agst Rigmarol; 11 to 10 on Valais Royal agst Reformer. Friday.—Prendergast Stakes.-6 and 7 to 4 agst Crusador ; 3 to 1 agst Goshawk ; 7 to 2 agst Prendergast's filly. Lord Jersey's Fillagree filly is likely to get into request for this stakes.

HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. MEETINGS OF HOUNDS IN THE PRESENT WEEE. The Earl of Darlington's Fox Hounds, on Tuesday, at Hart forth ; Thursday, at Whitworth ; Saturday, at Barton. The Lambton Fox Hounds, on Tuesday, at the Hermitage; Thursday, at Cassop ; Saturday, at Woodwell House. The Hurworth Fox Hounds, on Tuesday, at Hutton Rudby The Chester Harriers, on Thursday, at Trafford Bridge. STAG HUNT.—On Saturday the 15th, the stag hounds of the Hon. G. Berkeley met at lckenham, attended by a numer ous field, when a fine stag was turned out, which, after a bril liant run of nearly one hc.ir over the best part of the country, was safely taken. The speed and bottom of these hounds have been frequently remarked by the best sportsmen of the pre sent day. The El-KING OF SWEDEN, now living nt May ence, under the name of Colonel Gustayson, is not pleased, it seems, with something said of him by Count Segur in his " history of Napoleon." He therefore sent a refutation of the statement, which was inserted in the Drapcau Blanc, a Paris Paper. It is hard to please an Ex-King, and his Majesty has since complained that his refutation was garbled. This com plaint has been inserted in the French papers, and serves the purpose of informing the world that his Ex-Majesty was alive on 3d October, 1825. The only officer killed in the late action with the Burmese, was Captain ANDREW FRENCH, a young and accomplished soldier. The following testimony to his worth and valour in a letter to his father from General Macbean, is calculated to assuage the grief of Captain French's family : " Poor Andrew, I have now to relate to you (and melancholy to me is the task), was killed in the assault upon Arracan the 29th ultimo. He was there acting under my immediate command, and most gallantly leading the advance ; so that I can assure you if his fine noble example of courage can give consolation to yourself and his friends; you may indulge in it to the fullest extent ; for never did a more gallant soldier draw a sword. Alas ! his fine spirit is gone for ever, hut with it the admiration and regrets of all his brother officers." TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—There is an etroneous idea abroad, that, by the late Act, Newspapers sent by post; must be put into the Office on the days upon which they are published, is order to go free: this regulation ap plies only to those sent to the Colonies, but not to their cir culation through the United Kingdom.. Mr. KEAN is expected to arrive at New York about the 20th instant. Mrs. KEA.N remains at home ; the is at present remaining on a romantic estate purchased by Mr. KEAN in Bute, and where he expended a good deal of money in building a residence, making roads, &c, We find that the statement of Mr, SlNct,Ant's engagement at Covent-garden Theatre was un founded. A difference exists between Mr. SIN.. CLAIR and the Management relative to his en gagement of last year, which is likely to come immediately before the Court of King's Bench, Mr. BaouGnAlt being retained to conduct Mr. SlNcLAlrt's case. The report that Mr. SINCLAIR had accepted an engagement in Italy is like wise incorrect. We understand that an applica tion has been made to him by a Broker commis. sioned from some of the Italian Theatres, but that he declined entering into any e ngagement. (M orning Post.) DIST R ESSING ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening, soon after eleven o'clock, a lady and gentleman, with an infant child, in a gig, were passing through Oxford -street, when the horse suddenly ta ki n g fright, it is believed, through the spring. ing of a watchman's rattle, reared, and rushing against a hack ney coach, flung the unfortunate lady and her child to the ground. The gentleman WAR also thrown out, but was not hurt ; the lady was raised from the ground, nearly lifeless, and carried into the shop of Mr. M ou nt , surgeon, where on being examined it was found she had received a dreadful wound on the face, aid part of her head torn nearly as if scalped, the child was hurt dreadfully from the lady falling on it. The wounds being dressed the lady was so seriously injured that it was judged dangerous to remove her, and a bed Was provided in to LP use for her and the infant. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

There were last week good arrivals of most kinds of Grain, and this morning the quantities fresh up of Corn in general are moderate. The millers are nearly all in want of fine Wheat, and they purchase freely of such at terms rather exceeding the terms of this day se'nnight, but all other qualities go off slowly at the prices last quoted. Barley for malting is in demand, and Is. per quarter higher, other sorts are unaltered. Old Beans find buyers at last quotations, but New a rather cheaper. Boiling Pease are pot a free sale, but fully support last terms. Grey Pease sell at the prices last quoted. Oats are in good supply, but our buyers being chiefly in want, this article fully maintains the rates of this day se'nnight. In Flour no alteration.

We understand the principal houses in the Levant trade are about to express their opinion publicly, in an Address to Mr. CANNING, in ap proval of the late proclamation relative to the prohibition of warlike stores, fitting out ships, &c. &c.—(Mcrning Paper.) On Friday last, the annual Meeting of the Sub.. scribers to the Royal Lancasterian or British and Foreign School Society was held at the Old Town Ball, when inter. esting reports were read of the state of the schools. A consi derable improvement in the state of the funds was reported, as notwithstanding repairs to the amount of upwards of 501. were done to the school-rooms, in the course of the past year, a small balance was left in the hands of the treasurer. The in. creasing popularity of this institution may be inferred from the very gratifying fact, that many of the parents, whose children have long waited for admission, have offered to pay a penny or threc-halfrence a week, could they be received. From the number of the applications, the meeting came to an unanimous resolution to occupy the whole of the present building as a school for the boys, and to erect an additional one for the girls, as soon as funds can be obtained for that purpose. Several gentlemen present immediately put down their names for a guinea, and others for half a guinea each, and Mr. Welch was appointed treasurer, to receive donations for this specific ob ject.—( Portsmouth Paper. ) A well-dressed woman, named Kingston, was charged at Lambeth-street Police Office, by her husband, with an attempt to poison him. Mr. Kingston, who is about thirty years of age, stated that he has been married to the prisoner about seven years : they have no children. A young man lodged in his holm, whom he suspected of an improper intimacy with his wife. On Monday morning he rose at six o'clock, according to custom, and appeared to go out, but con cealed himself in tho house, and soon heard tile young man go into his wife's room; he immediately burst open the door, which was fastened, and turned them both into the street. Ile then recollected that the morning before he found a had taste in his tea at breakfast, and had taken coffee; and that his wife kept the tea for him to drink with his pipe, which he was in the habit of doing. Ile had the tea analyzed, and it was found to contain oxalic acid, a quantity of which was also found in his wife's drawer. In consequence of these dis coveries he had her apprehended. The wife said she did not know how the oxalic acid came into the tea ; what was in her drawer she had to clean her Leghorn bonnet. The Magistrate recommended the parties to separate, to which they agreed, and the defendant was discharged. Yesterday about half-past four o'clock, while a young woman named Mitchell was playing on hoard the Thames police vessel lying opposite the end of Norfolk-street, she accidentally fell over the steps and was drowned. Her body remained under water an hour. When it was found it was re moved to the Spotted Dog public-house in Strand-lane, and every endeavour was in vain made under the direction of a me. dicta gentleman to restore animation. Another striking and very melancholy proof of the frail tenure of human life occurred on Thursday, the fish instant, John Hall, gentleman, of Stoke, near Newark, aged about sixty, having engaged a few friends to dine wi h him, went out hefored inner, in company with Mr. Wakefield, ayrung gentleman of the same village, and a Mr. Green, of Flintham, to take the pastime of shooting ; during their excursion, they had occasion to pass a gate which was fastened ; Mr. Hall climl si over it, and was immediately followed by Mr. Wakefield with his gun in his hand, and which by some unlucky mischance went off, when the whole contents were lodged in the back of Mr. Hall, who only exclaimed " Oh ! Wakefield, what have you done ?" and immediately fell and expired. No language can express the grief of Mrs. Hall, (children he had not any) and the extreme anguish of mind of Mr. Wakefield, to whom, it appears, no blame is at all attibutable.—(Lincoln Mercury.) . DREADFUL FlRE.—This morning between two and three o'clock, a sudden burst of flames through the lower part of the house of Mr. James Leonad, carpet ma nufacturer, situated in North-street, Oxford-road, discovered to the unfortunate inmates that the house was on fire, — The flames ascended through the low er warerooms and first floor with suc h rapidity, that the family were obliged to retreat across the roof, A servant girl, in the horror of the moment, jumped from a window into the street, and broke her thigh. Mr s. Leonad, who is rath e r infirm, sus tained some very serious injury, but none of the other part of the family were hurt. The flames ascended throughout the building, which in a short time was destroy , d, The adjoining house of Mr. Young was much burnt. Mr. Leonad is insured. It is supposed the flre was cAuettl by the ignition of some combostibleth TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from (lie Martim; Papers, Oct. I,' 1 SI. 54 [THE TIMES.) . • • • Some days ago we quoted a paragraph from 4 Paris Paper, statinz that M. de Dunes, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, had given a dinner to the black Envoys of Hayti. We added at the time, that we saw no mention made in-tthe paragraph of the presence of the diplomatic . corps,• and expressed great doubts whether the Russian Ambassador was of the party. A letter which we have since received from Paris enables us to judge of the difficulties with which their sable Excellencies had to contend before they could: approach the Ministerial table, and inform us of the important negociaGons which took place before the Members, of. the Holy Alliarice could settle the point whether the Representatives of revolted Slaves could be admitted to eat • and drink in the presence of their legitimate Ambassadors. It is the usual custom Ilih . the Foreign Minister in franc* to invite a new Envoy to dinner immediately on his. arrival, and to introduce him at the King's levee on the Sun•• day following, The Haytian Deputies coining • to France with a large purse in -their hand, re-. tnetnbering the enthusiasm which the Frenchc . squadron expressed at the admission of the 'royal ordinance for their independence,. amid trusting that there was some meaning in thQ toast of " Charles the Liberal," imagined that every cdi, cial saloon in Paris would be open for their re., - ception, and that his Majesty would be imps, tient to welcome dispatches from his sovereign brother and ally the President of the Black Re,- • public. But the taste of the King was completely mistaken. fie neither likes a black face nor a liberal sentiment, having been taught, by the cry , of the absolute and legitimate party in Spain, to confound a negro with a lover of freedom. He was therefore exceedingly wroth with Baron Mackau for allowing his health to be drank with such an addition to his title, and turned his hack upon him when he appeared at St, Cloud. M. de, Villele, in order to show that he had not taught this diplomatic bird its w•ron; lesson, imitated the example of his roaster, M. de Mackau, how-, ever, did not forget his Hay thin friends, and see, ing it impossible to introduce them at Court, exerted himself both with the Minister of Marine and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to get them an official dinner. The former (NI. de Chabrol) was inclined to yield; the latter was for some time inflexible. Couriers were dispatched to, Vienna, Petersburgh, and Madrid. At last Baron de Mums consented to be the sole victim of Ilaytain contact, and the Envoys had a kind of concealed repast, like that given by a rich man to his poor relations. These gentlemen are far from being satisfied with their treatment, and now find a more congenial society in the con. tractors for the new loan which they are ern, powered to negociate. ENEW TIME .] We yesterday received Plt'ladelphia Papers Its the 20th oft. They contain information from► Lima to the 14th June. At that time Callao was; holding out, and opinions were very much divided as to the probability of its fall ; some anticipating its surrender in two months, while others 1113;atained that it was provisioned for a great length of time ; and as to taking it by force, that seems to be quite out of the question. The castle mounts upwards of 200 brass 24-pounders, and a number of smaller cannon, and it is surrounded by a ditch feet wide. The independent Government of Pere is acting with great impolicy, in harrassing neutral trade. A New York vessel, seized under a charge of having Spanish property on bo•ird, had hee►t kept waiting near six months for a trial. A Bal timore vessel was detained several weeks, merely waiting for a clearance, and at length sailed with out one. The short explanation of all this is, that the evil habits acquired , by all persons in office, under the old mis-government, still stick to them in the new state of things. Political re-. volutions do not always effect moral reforms,. . Accounts of the capture of A rracan and Zassein had reached New York, but of course they add nothing to our information on those events. Tha . steam-boat navigation adds a prodigious activity to the commerce of the United States. 'The amount of produce shipped at Louisville, for Now Orleans, &c. in steam-boats, daring the present year, is estimated at between 27 and 28,000 tons. Another test of the extent of internal trade in the United States is furnished by the produce of auction sales. This, in the single city of New York, amounted for the months of April, May, and June, to the immense sum of 6,960,000. dollars, -- imp_ [MORNING POST.] We received, last night, Penis Journals to the 15th instant, and the Etoile of Saturday. The Quotidienne, after giving an article from Copen, hasten (which has already appeared in our Paper) stating that a Russian squadron, consisting of one ship of the line and three frigates had sailed towards the South, adds : " that accord-, ing to advices received from several parts oc• Germany, that squadron seemed destined for • the lonian Islands, which gave very great im-.. . portance to the news." Were this the case indeed, it would appear that Russia, whose armies are in motion on the Turkish frontiers, was also desirous of collecting a sufficient-. ly strong naval force in the seas of Greece to be ready to assume in an effective manner the Protectorship of that country, which she expects . will instantly devolve upon her if it be refused by our Government. The hyrnal des Debuts, however, contradicts the report altogether, and states that the Russian squadron instead.of ing to the Mediterranean bad gone baek to R,ussias . An article from Trieste announces that an Austrian brig, Le Severe, bound from Alexandria to Cy-. pros, with a number of Turkish passengers on, board, having refused to suffer itself to b visited, by a Greek cruiser, fought an action which , terminated by its being boartlea, taken, anck sunk. Some of the Turks being men of die tinction, were carried away by the Greekss..l-1,- in the hope of obtaining a rich ransom for them, It is added that in consequence of this occurreuce4
