The steam-boat from Copenhagen has brought to Lubeck the news that, on the 18th, some of the ships of Admiral Seniaven's squadron bad arrived at Copenhagen. When the steam boat sailed, on Friday, seven ships of the line and six frigates had already arrived. His MAJESTY'S ship lVa rspite, which has arrived at Spithead, has been an unfortunate ship since . she was last fitted out. She was commissioned as the flag ship of the late lamented Rear Admiral BINGHAM, who was seized with the illness which , terminated his life, on the day on which he was to have hoisted . his flag on board of her as Com mander-in-Chief in the East Indies ; and she bore the broad pendant of the late Commodore 'Sir ES BRISBANE at the time, of the death of that gallant Officer, after he had been relieved in the command of his Majesty's ships in India by Rear-Admiral GAGE. • - THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

These Assizes were opened by Commission on Saturday last by the LORD CHIEF BARON, Mid Baron Gatiaow. Owing to the atrocious murder of the Rev. J.

By its side is placed the cap in which he followed the hounds, and which was always first in at the death of Rey_ nerd, for the Rector, in his youth, was a bold and fear less rider. The faithful house-dog still remains in in its kennel. At the approach of strangers, prompted by Curi osity , to inspect the scene of so foul a crime; he issues forth, submissive as a spaniel, and licks the hand of each visitor. This it; singular, for previously it was one of a most ferocious disposition. It displays a degree of instinct in the animal—a kind of knowledge of the loss of his master, which is remarked by every one visiting the spot.— Slade, who has been committed for the murder, and whose trial commences this day, (Monday) sleeps well, has a good appetite, and looks forward to the event of his trial, 'without " fear or trembling."

In Barley, Oats, Pease, or Beans, few sales have been made, at prices simi lar to those noted on the 21st inst.

Dundas, in 49 days from Rio Janeiro (having left it on the 9th ult.), bringing the highly satisfactory and important information, that a preliminary treaty of peace had been concluded between the Brazilians and Buenos Ayreans. Don J. Garcia, the Buenos Ayrean Minister, who came up to Rio in an English packet, with the treaty, for it to receive the 'ratifica tion of the Emperor, left that place again, with it ratified, in his Majesty's brig Heron, Hon. Captain W. F. Grey, on the 7 th ult., for Buenos Ayres. Both parties had exhausted all their resources in this fruitless and expensive warfare. The event had created the most lively sensations of joy at Rio, Par ticularly among the merchants, who were busied shipping their goods, to resume commercial dealings with the natives of the Rio de la Plata. The Bra zilian Government 'Paper had increased in value ten per cent.. The Warspite left Sydney (New South Wales) on' the 6th of January. She is the first line-of-1 battle ship that has ever circumnavigated the globe. In crossing the 180th degree longitude east from Greenwich, the day was, therefore, changed, and put back ; the Week was made to consist of eight days, having two Tuesdays in it. On the passage from Port Jackson to Valparaiso, the Warspite went through Cook's Straits, between the two islands of New Zealand and Eaheinomawe and Poenanentoo. These straits are not well surveyed, and the different points are incorrectly laid down : the only chart of them is by Captain Cook, in the Endeavour. The conducting of a line-of-battle ship through such a narrow passage (being only 11 miles. across, in one place, and little known), with' a beating wind the whole way, required not only great strength of nerve, but a constant and vigilant 100k -out, together with the unceasing operation of keeping the lead going. With these precautions the Warspite beat through in six days, without any accident. On 'Wednesday the Southworth transport, Lieu tenant John Sanders, arrived from Quebec, in 27 days, with a company of Royal Artillery and inva lids, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel M`Gregor, and Ordnance stores: The Soutbworth spoke the Alligator, 98, Captain Canning, about eight miles from Quebec, having on board Lord Va lentin and Colonel Cockburn, who have been sent to Upper Canada, to make arrangements forllocali zing 15,000 emigrants, to whom it is understood, Government intends to offer the means of deporta tion, from the north of Ireland and western parts of Scotland. At present there are thousands of Scotch and Irish labourers who cannot find employment ; and as most of them left their native country with thoughtless Precipitation, they are utterly destitute of every means of travelling to the Upper Provinces, or into the United States, where alone labourers have a chance of obtaining a subsistence. Their condition is truly pitiable. The arrival of the Russian squadron. under, Ad miral Sineavin, for the Mediteraneau, is daily ex pected. Accounts from Stockholm relate that a violent storm had been experienced for three days, which probably had injured some of the ships. The Prince and Princess Lieven intend making a visit to the squadron at Spithead. Apartments have been provided for them at the George Inn. The last letters received from the experimental squadron are dated on the sth inst., when they had been at sea six days. The result f their trials, up to this period, was decidedly in favour of the supe rior sailing of the Columbine, in all points, that vessel being the only one that bad shown any improve ment by the alterations made after the first cruise. On the third day of trial, the Columbine gained a complete victory, on a wind • they started at half past eight and concluded at 6. 30.

HAYMARKET-THEATRE.---Mr. Poole's new farce of Gudgeons and Sharks went off on Saturday night in a rapid damnation. Even Mr. Cooper's hurricane of lungs could be scarce heard through the storm and noise in which this short-lived abortion expired ; some such a whirl wind took place when Oliver Cromwell gave up the ghost. BALLOON ASCENT.-011 Friday last Mr. Green ascended from Warrington about half-past four o'clock. About half-past five o'clock he passed almost directly over this town. The .balloon was then nearing the earth; but upon Mr. Green's throwing out some bal last, it again ascended, and went off in the direction of Oldhatn. Mr. Green arrived in Manchester at nine o'clock, on his return to Warrington, having descended at Greenhead, near Lees, about nine miles from this town.— He was accompanied by his son and a ship captain. The voyagers expressed:themselves highly delighted with their journey. They were between this and Warrington at a height of two miles; and after leaving Manchester they again ascended to the height of about 14 milt's.--Mate cheater Gazette. A most daring case of forgery has recently taken place ; in May last, a letter was put into the Pest office at Bandon (in Ireland), addressed to Mr. White, of our Customs, containing a draft, and made payable to him at thirty days, for forty-eight pounds, fourteen shillings, and twopence, on Messrs. Carr, Glyn, and Co,, London. The letter never came to hand ; but on the day it was due, a person took the draft to Messrs. Grant's Bank, forged the signature of the party it was made payable to, and left it to be sent to London. He called there five days after wards, as he was desired to do by Messrs. Grant's clerk, and received the money, again forging the name to the cheque he gave for the amount. This was only discovered last week, by the party writing to Ireland to know why the draft was not sent. The mystery in this affair is, that a person should keep a draft in his possession a month, and commit a forgery at the sank in the very town where the owner was known to be residing, and constantly re ceiving letters addressed to him here —all of which reached him safe up to this period. We understand, .that as the, bill was not accepted by Messrs. Glyn, the loser has no remedy at law for the false payment, COURT OF ASSIZE OF LANDES. (MONT DE rvIARSAN.) (From the Gazette, de Tribuneaux.) Jean Dauba was accused of the murder of his father, and J&ln Duloe and Jean Fiton were also charged, the former_ as an accomplice in the murder, and the latter *as' having attempted a voluntary homicide on an occasion previous to murder. The Court was crowded to excess— every one anxious to have a view of. the chief criminal Dauba (who had already confessed all the details of his horrible atrocity.) The crowd by which he was surrounded—all acquainted with his guilt—nor the avvful situation in which he was placed, seemed to have any effect on him. He appeared wholly unmoved., Some of his answers to the questions put to him were given in a' firm tone, , and even with some degree of flippancy. .This trial lasted four days, during which forty witnesses were examined. The main facts, how-. ever, may be given in a very narrow compass. They were, to this effect appeared that Dauba, the deceased, was possessed of two small demesnes, distant about a quarter of' a league from one another. One was called BacqUe, the other Poncheton. .At Poncheton he generally resided with his son, the accused, and his daugh ter-in-law, and' their children. The house at Bacque was kept by- a woman nanitd Halibert, between whom . and.the deceased there had exist ed an imporper connexion. This, and the ex travagant and other, bad habits of the father, who bore a very bad character in the neighbourhood, were the cause_ of-daily biclerings between him and his son, which were carried to such a height, that on the father proposing to sell his remain ing property, the son openly avowed that he would destroy him. it was proved that to one person he offered 200 francs to purchase arsenic to poison his father : and to another he offered another sum if he would kill him. Dauba, the father, used to go every day to the farm at Bacque ; and when he did not pass the night there he returned late in the evening. On the 15th of Dec. last, on his return, a musket was fired at him, and forty of the shot from it struck him in the head. The wounds, however, were only slight, and he recovered from the effiFt of them in about a week. Of this attempt the prisoner Fiton was suspected, as the agent of the son, but nothing farther was heard of it. in a few days an attempt of the sop, who lay concealed behind some bushes by which the father was to pass, was frustrated by the barking of a little dog, which always attended him in his walks. On that occasion the son admitted that his father had a very narrow escape. On' the night of the 31st of January, two . persons who resided near the place heard, about eight o'clock, the report of a gun, and, soon after, a cry which they knew to be that of Dauba. A violent struggle followed, in which they heard several blows given ; after which 'silence ensued, save when it was interrupted by the barking and howling of a dog. Curious to know the cause of this noise, they went to the house of Dauba, Poncheton, but neither he nor the 'son were there. It was further proved that soon after that, the son entered the house of a neighbour. He was pale, and trembled much. Having drank some wine, he asked whether the man of the house had not heard the report of a gun ; and being answered in the negative, he said' he had, and he was sure some person had killed his father. He added, that no doubt they would all be called as witnesses;and he begged the man to say that he ,had come into his house'that evening between six .and seven o'clock. On the next day Uie barking and howling of the dog lea to the dis covery of the body, which was found in a ditch, near the spot from whence the report of the gun proceeded; Several circumstances transpired which threw suspicion on the son, and he was arrested. He at first ,denied all knowledge of the affair, but afterwards made a voluntary con fession of the whole. He said he had fired at and wounded his father, but not having wounded him mortally, he despatched }UM with repeated blows of the musket, and of a pitchfork. After wards, however, he retracted part of this, and admitted that he had killed his father, but not with premeditation: • On his trial, he repeated this, and said, that on the evening in question, he was going towards Bacque, when he met Jean Duloc, the other prisoner, who told him he was waiting for his father to kill him. To this h e (p r i soner ) ma d e no answer, approving or disapproving, but moved a few paces out of the way. His father soon came up, and Duloc fired. The shot took but a:slight effect, and the father cried • out that he knew them ; and seeing his son, rushed on him, and they seized each other by the hair, and while thus struggling, Duloc used his musket' as a club, and felled 'him the father to the ground. W bil e down, prisoner admitted that he gave him several thrusts of an iron pitchfork, and-de spatched him. They then threw the body into a ditch. He protested, however, that when he came out he had no intention of killing his father. The total want of all feeling with which he entered before the Court into all the particulars of this revolting detail, filled the auditors with the utmost horror and disgust. The evidence of other witnesses. went to disprove the guilt of Duloc and Fiton, and they were acquitted. Dauba was found guilty, and sentenced to death, having his right hand first cut off.

I recommend all persons who intend visiting the Brighton races, to take especial care of their money, or, at least, to carry hut little in their pockets to the race course ; for the town of Brighton, wishing, I suppose, to show its gratitude, anti snake a suitable return, to the visiters from whom it has derived all its prosperity, ha. , determined to discontinue this year the protection which has been hitherto afforded by the presence of a Bow-street officer. The expense incurred would be probably about 101. ; and this the flourishing town of Brighton is too poor to pay. The King's cup of 1001., which is to be run for the first day, is likely to be a good race. Lord Egremont has almost invariably won it hitherto, but it is said that Stumps, although a first-rate horse, is two heavily weighted this year.—Morning Paper. At Paldy Fair, on Tuesday, 17th July, time was a fair show of sheep, and sales were brisk, at tolerablt prices. Three-year-old black-faced hill wedders sold fen 10/. to 18/., and grass fed ditto, 161. to 231. ; ewes, from 6/. to 9/. ; and lambs, from Si. to 101. per score. There were few good wedders left unsold, and the market, on the whole, was good. On Thursday there was a good suppb of black cattle, a fair proportion of which were in excellent condition, considering the scarcity of last winter's keep.— Dealing was remarkably dull ; and a large number of beasts left the market unsold. Three-year-old stots, in good droving condition, brought from PI. to 141. ; two-year. olds, from 6/. to 10/. ; and year-olds, from Si. to 5/. psi head. Yell cows and queys brought from ss. to 7s. per stone, according to quality ; and prime fat from 7s. to Sc. per stone. Prices were considerably lower than at some o! the late fairs in Aberdeenshire; and the drovers were, in some cases, compelled to part with their cattle at less than prime cost, independent of grass and other expences. The horse market, on Friday, was poorly supplied with good animals, and comparatively little business was done. Young cart horses brought from 241. to NI. ; and interim at all prices from 201. and downwards. Sadle and post horses from 15/. to 25/. ; and small ponies from Si. to 151. A great proportion of the inferior horses were left unsold. A good number of cattle were brought forward for sale or. Friday, and disposed of at low prices. The wool market partook of that dullness which marked the cattle and horse markets, and prices ran from 10s. to 16s. per stone. It, contrasting the sheep with the cattle and horse markets, it is not very easy to account for the brisknes, of the one, and the dullness of the others. But most people s eem to impute the latter circumstance to the scarcity of money among farmers and graziers in many parts of th c ountry, and to the absence of John Bull, who, if reporf speaks truth, can supply himself with large cattle, as' cheap , nearer liorae..—Scots Agricultural Magazine. ..l-. a .I EXTRAORDINARY MURDER• A letter from Madrid, dated July 5, contain. an account of a trial for murder, which is not only remarkable from the peculiar circumstances of the crime, but still more so from the extraor- Binary means imagined by the. prisoner's Coun sel to save - his client. By the laws of Spain, a. man who surprises his wife in . flagrante with her paramour, and in the first moment of pas sion kills both, cannot befoundguilty of murder; but if he kills but one of the guilty parties i .he renders himself liable. to a. capital prosecution. A wife has the same privilege in case of her hus band's infidelity. Don Julian 13**, a rich merchant of Carthagena, had been married only about three months to • the daughter of one of the richest landowners in the province, when a faithfill servant informed him that his wife was carrying on an illicit intercourse with a certain Captain of Cavalry, named Don Anselmo U**, who regularly entered the house as soon as Don Julian quitted it. Don Julian affected not to .pay much attention to wh at his ser vant told , him ; but from that time forth he frequently, during the day, quitted ins counting house and ascended to his wife's apartment, where he generally found Don Anselmo, but per- . ceived nothing that could Misfity his proceeding to violent'ineasures. Deteriniried, however, to put an end to his doubts, he on t',he Bth of No vernber, 1825, told his wife he was going to Aguilas, where he should be detained fo'r some days by commercial business. He accordingly took leave of her, and departed ; but, atterestop ping at a short distance from Carthagena tti whole of the day, he returned after nizhtfali i entered his house by a back door, and, armed with a poniard, ascended to his wife's apartment, where he found . her and Don Anselmo fast asleep. Determined to immolate them •both, he began with his wife, whom he stabbed to the heart. The cry, or movement she made, aroused Don Anselmo, who jumped out of bed and cried out Murder! At the cry the servants ran in, found ,Don Anselmo without his clothes, Don Julian with a.bloody dagger in his hand, and his wife breathing her last sigh. The officers of justice were sent for—Don Julian, Don Anselmo, and all the servants, were arrested and taken to prison. Soon after a capital prosecution was commenced against Don Julian, who, contrived to escape be fore the trial came on. He was soon retaken, and brought up for trial. His defence consisted in denying every circumstance sworn to by the witnesses, and, even still more strange, denying that he escaped from prison, &c. The Court, however, found him guilty, and condemned him to be hanged. Before the proceedings , were transferred' to the Chancery of Grenada for, revi sion, another singular event took place. Some porters, whom Don Julian had been in the habit of employing in shipping and unshipping his mer chandise, were drinking in a wine-house, when a man suddenly entered the roam, stabbed with a 'poniard the porter who was next the door, then fled, and before the porters, confounded by the circumstance, recovered themselves sufficiently to pursue him, he had disappeared. On the ar rival of the officers of justice, the porter who had been stabbed (very slightly however) and all his companions poeitively affirmed that the man who had entered the room with a dagger and inflicted the wound, was no other than Don Julian D", them under sentence of death.for the inualer of his wife. On repairing to the prison, Don Sii!ian. D," was found perfectly secure there. DCA:. Julian's advocate, taking advantage of this cir cumstance, moved for a new trial, on the ground that his client had been unjustly condemned, in asmuch as he had constantly denied all the cir cumstances of the case, and that it now appeared that there was another individual, who so com pletely resembled him, that even those who had been in the daily habit offseeing Don Julian for years could not distinguish hiM from the other. The Corregidor was not moved to alter hisjiiclg ment for these reasons, and the proceedings were transferred to Grenada, where, after a considera blemreasnemnebrl,edthDe on - h J an u o li e a r n y in of s G o ; e e x n t a r d a ; y wh a o del - ay, and various attempts to find out the p or e d rs in on ar pronounced the following sentence : • " In' the alternative in which the Court finds itself, it is ordered that Don . Julian D. be set at liberty, and that his imprisonment should leave no blemish on his reputation." Grenada, Jan. 2- The writer of this letter states that it "was the advocate who had planned this singular method of exculpating his client. He had _bribed the gaoler to let his prisoner out a few minutes, he (the advocate) remaining in his place. He had also prepared the porters to play their part in the comedy. The gaoler received for his ac quiescence 25,000 francs.

WOMEN OF BOGOTA.—The ladies of rank in Bogota are generally small, but well made, and they can boast of having as pretty feet and small ankles as any women in the world, which are always set off by handsome silk stockings and very neat shoes. Like the women of Spain; they walk with grace and dignity, and are equally coquetish and playful with their fans. Their morning walking dress appeared at first rather singular, but I after wards thought it becoming. The head and shoulders are covered with a fine black or blue cloth, without any trim ming, which sometimes meets under the chin, 'but leaves the face exposed, and a small black beaver hat with a crown of a conical shape, you may literally say, is on the top of the head ; it was placed on one side, but as none of the head was in it, I really often wondered it did not au off. Their gowns are black silk, made to fit close, and much adorned with bugles of the same colour. In this dress the ladies go to church. The reign of the small black buyer hat and the cloth covering will, I suspect, soon be at an end ; as some of the ladies, before I left Bog the streets in large French bonnets, with abundance of ar tificial flowers, and gay-coloured silk gowns and neeker chiefsth artificialPal.aded over their shoulders, to the astonishment and morti fication of some of the priesthood, who considered. it a sin in them to say their prayers in such gaud t y attire.

The ladies dance well and gracefully; the Spanish country dances are parti cularly well adapted to show off the different attitudes of the body. Waltzing is also a favourite dance. In my morning visits to the ladies, I frequently found them sitting on cushions placed on a mat, after the oriental fashion, and employed at tambour work ; a little female negro slave squatted comfortably in one corner of the apartment, ready to obey the orders of her mistress. I remarked that the Creoles, or descendants of the Spaniards, treated their household slaves with great kindness and indulgence, al lowing them to converse with them in a more familiar way than we do our servants in England. As regards the morals of the ladies of Bogota, I believe they can boast of as much virtue as the European ladiee.—.Colonel Hamil ton's Trattetti in Cakimbia. 10 4
