THE EMPEROR AUGUST US.—A Roman soldier being involved in a law-suit, implored the pro tection of AUGUSTUS. The Emperor ordered one of his courtiers to attend the man into the Court. The soldier had the firmness to address the Emperor in these terms :—" I did not, my Liege, thus conduct myself in your service—when you were in danger at the battle of Actium I ex posed my life in defending you." The man then displayed his wounds. The reproach operated so strongly on the Emperor, that he went into Court, and exerted himself so eloquently, that the cause was decided in favour of the soldier s This is a good lesson of justice and dignified gra titude to all Potentates. AULD ROBIN (PRAY.—A paragraph in the last number of the Edinburgh Observer gives an ex tract from a letter, claiming the tune to which this interesting ballad has hitherto been sung, for a clergyman named Jettvis. This is a mistake. The real composer was the Rev. Mr. LEEVES. The late Mr. limey ADDINGTON, who was al ways happy in rendering kind offices, being in timate with Mr. LEEVES, took him, a short time before the lamented death of the former gentle man, to hear Miss STEPHENS sing it at her own house. The sweetness of her voice, and the pathetic expression which she gave to the music, almost overcame the venerable composer, who could only manifest his approbation by a copious flood of tears. Our Readers may depend on the truth of this anecdote. Theonotte, KING Or CORSlCA.—Speaking of Theodore, King of Coast cA, who took the benefit of an Act of Insolvency in this country, and lies buried at St. Ann's, Soho, Walpole says—" I saw him soon after his last arrival in England : he was a comely, middle-sized man, very re served, :.nd affecting much dignity, which lie act ed in the lowest ebb of his fortunes, and coupled with the lowest shifts of his industry. An in stance of the former appeared during his last residence at Florence, where, being reduced to extreme poverty, some English gentlemen made a collection for, and carried it to him. Being apprized of their coming, and having only one chamber, in a little miserable lodging, he squeez ed his bed to one side, and placed a chair under the canopy, where he sat enthroned to receive the charity !" QUILLS were used in the sth century. Reeds continued to he used long after quills had begun to he employed ; quills were so scarce at Venice in 1433, that it was with great difficulty men of letters could procure them. 'Fhe ancient inks were greatly superior to the ink of modern times; a curious evidence of such fact was adduced be fore a Committee of the House of Commons on the subject of " Engrossing" Bills. VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC were so highly cultivated and admired in ancient Greece, that he who was ignorant of the art was esteemed a man of ❑o breeding. Epaminondas is reported to have excelled on the flute ; and Themistocles was looked upon as unpolished, from being unable to handle the harp at a feast. ARABIAN HoserrAmr.—A. French officer had been several months the prisoner of au Arab Chief. One night being surprised by the French cavalry in his camp, he had only time to escape with his captive ; tents, flocks, provisions, were all taken. The next day, wandering from his party, and without resources, he took from his pocket a loaf, and giving the half of it to his pri soner, " I know not," said he, " when we shall eat another, but I never will be accused of not having divided my last with the friend whom I lave made." ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—By the votes of both Houses passed in the Long Parliament, in 1642, for the abolishing of Bishops, Deans, and Chap- Ws, the very foundation of this famous Cathe dral was utterly shaken. In the following year, the Cross in the church-yard, which had been for many ages the most noted and solemn place for the gravest divines and greatest scholars to preach at, was levelled with the ground ; the stalls in the choir were taken away, part of the pavement torn up, and the monuments demolished or de faced. The scaffolds erected for the repair of the church were given to the soldiers, who dug pits in several places in the fabric for sawing up tl►e timber; even where some Reverend Bishops and other persons of quality lay interred ; and afterwards the body of the church was frequently converted into a horse-barracks for soldiers. Prince GUSTAFSON, ci-devant King of SWEDEN, has just had inserted in the Drapeau Blanc a letter, which he addresses to the Count de SEGun, upon his work entitled " Cotnpagne de Russie." The ex-King attacks the General for blaming his conduct, and wishing to tarnish the actions of Marshal Bernadotte, who at present occupies the Swedish throne. There is in this proceeding a great degree of disinterestedness ; there is also dignity in the manner in which the Prince ex presses his hope, in the termination of his letter, that M. Segur will retract what he has said upon that subject —( Courier Francais.) BAILEY'S DICTIONARY. -4 private letter from Botany Bay states that an edition of " Bailey's Dictionary" was put up at an Auction. The auc tioneer observed, it was a New Bailey. "I am glad of that, with all my heart," said a bidder, " for most of us have had enough of the Old one." HUMANIrTY.-The late Mrs. Gen. LASCELLES, when more celebrated as Miss Cately, tl►e singer, was once intreated to cot .ribute to the relief of a widow, whose husband had left her in a very distressed situation. She gave her a guinea, but desired to know the poor woman's address ; and in three days called upon her with near 501., which she had in the interim collected at a mas querade in the character of a Beguine (a beg ging nun). WILLIAM of NEWBOROUGH, the old historian, who rates Geoffrey of Monmouth for his fictions, has himself this passage, which coming from such a stickler for veracity must not be .doubted—it is, that the ground at Battle Abbey, where Harold was slain in fighting against the Con queror, always " sweats blood after rain !" Mr. KEAN, we understand, will sail on Satur day for New York, in the packet-ship Silas Richards, Capt. Holdridge.—( Tuesday's Liver pool Paper.) THE KING, &c. Wrxr)SOIL, SEPT.2l.—Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, his M.A.rEsTr, with his usual attendants and retinue, left the Royal Lodge, and drove to Virginia Water, where his Majesty, on arriving at the Royal marquee, erected on the margin of the lake, with his attendants, embarked on board the Royal cutter (which lays close to the water's edge opposite the marquee), and whilst enjoying some excursions on the water, amused himself with angling. The evening being remarkably fine, his Majesty continued to enjoy his aquatic pleasures until half-past six o'clock, when he disembarked,, and returned to the Royal Lodge, where, with his attendants, he dined at eleven o'clock. His Majesty is in the full enjoyment of excellent health.— This day his Majesty's attendants and retinue are ordered to be in readiness at the usual hour. There are no arrivals at the Royal Lodge.--Her Royal Highness Princess Augusta con tinues her visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glouces ter, at Bagshot Lodge. This day their Royal Highnesses Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester will dine with their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, at Bushy Park; and after dinner their Royal Highnesses will return to Bagshot Lodge.—To-morrow the remains of Lord Longford will be interred in a vault in St. George's Chapel.

The Russian Ambas sador, Count Lieven, has been absent a few days from Brighton, but will rejoin his family here shortly. YtronTitiNG, SEPT. 20.-The stimulus to improvement so visible at Brighton has at length reached us, and buildings are beginning to spread here, though not so rapidly as at Kemp Town, Brunswick Terrace, &c. in the neighbouring watering place. There are still several bills up in the windows here ; yet we may say the place is tolerably full : and the books at both libraries show several titled names, such as the Duchess of Marlborough,_ Countesses Clonmell and Beauchamp, Lord Boyne, the Duke of St. Albans, (not forgetting Mrs. Coutts), &c. &c. THE WILL OF THE LATE LORD - RADSTOCK. The WILL . of the late Right lion. WILLIAM Lord RansTocK, Baron of Radstock, in the county of So merset, K.G.C.8., Admiral of the lied, was proved, with 11 codicils, in the Prerogative Court, Doctors' Commons, on the 12th instant, by the oaths of the Right Honourable Granville George Waldegrave Lord Radstock, his son, and the Honour able Sir James Allan Park, Knight, two of the executors, Sir Abraham Hume, Bart. the other executor, having renounced the trust. The personal property is sworn under 80,0001. The will, in the first place, confirms a settlement heretofore made upon Lady Radstock, of 4001. per annum, bequeaths her 5001. all the household furniture and stock (except plate and pictures) in the house in Portland-place, and the interest for life of 8,0001. In the plate also she is to have a life interest; at her death it is to be preserved for his unmarried daughters, and subsequently to form part of the residue. To his son above mentioned, in consequence of advances already made to him, amongst others a sum of nearly 2,0001., on his attaining twenty-one (the whole of his Lordship's own patrimony), he makes no further abso lute bequest than 1,000/., as a proof of his entire affection and regard : and his daughter Emily Susan Westley is stated to have had 4,0001. advanced to her on her marriage. The residue is left to all his other children, and, in case of their death under twenty-one, and unmarried, or without issue, 1,000/. is given to Mrs. Monier, Lady Itadstock's sister, and the remainder divided equally between the said Emily Susan Westley anti Granville George Waldegrave. By the codicils, there is a further bequest of 3,000/. Consols to her Ladyship for life, with reversion to his son, who has also an immediate bequest of 5,0001. Consols, and a further provision of one or two thousand pounds is made for Emily and her children. One of the codicils contains par ticular directions as to the sale of his Lordship's pictures. The Portrait of Charles L by Vandyke, brought direct from Madrid by M. , and procured from the Cabinet of the King of Spain ; that of Henrietta Marietta, nearly matchless in beauty and.expression, also by Vandyke; and a Landscape, by A. Vandevelde, are to be sold for Lady Radstock's benefit. If by auction, to be placed below the twentieth lot, and all friends to he apprised of it, who, he trusts, will not let them be sold for less than their real value. But upon the subject of sale, the testator desires that Mr. Emmerson, of Stratford place (whose skill in the arts, and . whose integrity, he has for many years experienced), may be consulted ; who, if he cannot procure private purchasers, or an offer from Government, may consign them to Christie for the hammer. His Lordship values them at fifty-one thousand guineas—they consist of Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Flemish masters Some honour able testimonies of his Lordship's services to his country are directed to remain in the family as heir looms ; amongst others, a gold snuff-box, and the freedom of the city of London, on occasion of the battle of St. Vincent's ; a gold medal from his Majesty on the like occasion, when he commanded the third division; th e engrav i ngs thereof; a gilt sword f r om hi s f r iend Admiral Lord Nelson ; a steel ditto, &c. Of other bequests there is a cameo of an Ajax (once the pride of the celebrated Jennings), to his son, with various miniatures and enamels; fifteen guineas for a Family Bible, to Sir Allan Park, for his life only, and then to revert to the testator's family ; many rings, and small sums, to servants. The will is dated the 25th January, 1820. There is no mention of any real estates. A curious KEY has lately been discovered at St. Germains-en-Lave, near Paris (formerly the residence of JAMES IL) which turns out to have been the master-key of King CHARLES I I. having the crown and cipher of that Monarch, and other Royal emblems. It is of the most exquisite beauty as a work of art, being pierced in steel and highly polished ; the ornaments of the finest arabesque : it has been brought to this country by a collector, and is now in the possession of Mr. Jarman, of St. James's-street. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES—Tuesday Night, Twelve o'Clock• THE GREAT ST. LEGER. The intense interest which this long looked-for and anxiously expected race has excited, is, perhaps. unprecedented in the Annals of Racing. The Derby and Oaks, in the early part of the year, were brilliantly attended, nor was expectation dis appointed in the almost countless multitudes that assembled.; the St. Leger, however, not only far exceeds these celebrated home sports, but it is scarcely possible to guess at the numbers which this day crowded the Course. The York Festival might boast of its thousands and tens of thousands—its brilliancy of rank—its attractions—its unparalleled performance, but all must give way to the splendid scene which presented itself on the present occasion. Carriages and six, barouches, and bang up fours-in-hand, graced the Course in great numbers; every vehicle, within thirty miles, of every description, was in requi sition, and the Johnny Rams (if Yorkshire may have any) stuck at no trifles in their selection : the equestrians were innume rable, and the trotters were of a superior description from the want of conveyances, and tag-rag and bob-tail might be seen at an early hour " plodding their weary way" to the scene of action cheek by jowl with the Bourgeois of all the surrounding villages. If a foreigner could have beheld the tout ensemble, he would have been unable to express his astonishment ; for even to us who have witnessed every species of mobility, it was a novelty. Towns, villages, hamlets, all had disgorged them selves, not only of the heads of families, but even Joan and her unshod innocents joined the congregated mass. The ele gant dresses of the Ladies in their carriages, with the party coloured and all-coloured decorations of the rustic damsels gave an enlivening and indescribable appearance to the whole, which would require the pencil of a Hogarth to give any idea of.— The Stand each day has been crowded, at one guinea a head, and the net produce of the admissions were declared after the St. Leger to Mr. Lockwood, the Judge, to be 2,090 guineas, being nearly 500 guineas more than ever was taken before.— His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived here at one o'clock to-day, and at two proceeded to the Course. There were also present his Highness the Duke of Brunswick, Prince Schwartzenberg, Prince Rusamoffsky, Baron Billow, and many other foreigners of distinction. The Marquis and Mar chioness of Londonderry were in a seat by the Judges' Stand, partitioned off, and in the Stand were the Duke of Devonshire and several of his friends; also the Gentlemen of the Press, who were most politely treated by the Stewards. We also ob served the Dukes of Portland, Rutland, Leeds ; Marquises, Blandford, Worcester, Titchfield, Exeter, Queensberry, Or monde, Londonderry ; Earls, Errol, Chesterfield,Orford, hlun caster, Fitzwilliam, Sefton ; Lords ) Darlington, F. and W. Bentick, Cavendish, elements, J. Fitzroy, C. Fitzroy, Hawke, A. Hill, Lyndock, Burghersh, Gort, 'Wallace, Scarborough, Pelham, Ashby, Normanby, Milton, Kelburne, Kennedy ; Sir NV. Maxwell, Sir J. Byng, Sir J. Astley ; Mr. Baird, Mr. Lambton, Mr. Greville, Colonel Aubrey, Mr. Watt, Mr. Houldsworth, Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Milnes, Mr. Craven, &c.—The betting on the St. Leger has this year been so extra ordinary as almost to exceed belief. Cleveland has been the principal object of speculation, and about him the fluctuations from the last Doncaster Races to the present time have been unprecedented, every manoeuvre has been resortettto in order to make him a source of profit. One day he has been thrown hack, and the next brought up, thus giving the knowing ones a 'certainty of gaiaing if he won, and of not losing if he was beat ; in fact, technically, he has been a good book-horse, and has afforded ample scope for the inventive and calculating qualifi cations of the Bulls and Bears of the Betting-Room. He has also been the source of speculation in all parts of the country, where nothing but Cleveland was thought of: he was put down as safe to win, the others being entirely out of the question. The other favourites have also been very exten sively speculated on ; but the betting about them has been chiefly guided by public running. Memnon, in particular, has not varied from his station as first favourite (exCept for a few days, when Cleveland headed him), since the last St. Leger; he was brought into high favour by his success at the last meeting, and confirmed in it by his subsequent performances. About Homer, nothing definite was said till the last York Meeting, where he won the 30 sovereign stakes. This brought him up, and by a great many good judges he was booked to win ; but others considered him too fleshy, and fancied that he was a roarer; but this we doabt, as he came in for the last mentioned stakes quite fresh. His trial with Figaro was said to be favourable, and rose him greatly in the betting list ; but the defeat of that horse by Lottery was calculated to remove that impression, and he would very probably have receded but for King Catton (by the same sire) winning the Champagne yesterday. He is a very powerful horse, and capable of a great deal of wear and tear. We now come to the races, which were this day admirably conducted. The business of the course was, notwithstanding the crowd, well executed, and accidents prevented. The races commenced with the two-year-old stakes, which, with the others, will be found accurately detailed as follows : Two year old Produce Stakes of 100 gs. each, h. ft. for colts,l flst. 21b., fillies .Bst.—Red House In.

S to 1 agst Memnon l2 to 1 'asst Cleveland 6 to 1 Homer 17 to 1 Addy S to 1 Rcdgauntlet 25 to 1 Pastime 10 to 1 Alderman 1 1000 to 20 Dauntless Previous to running Mr. Lockwood, the Judge, went down to the weighing room, and addressed the jockies, (30) saying that he wished at this very important moment that every thing relating to the running should be governed in the most upright manner. In order to gain this desirable point, it was necessary that they should, when mounted, take their stations, pass by the stand in a body, and return to get ready for starting ; when so done he would pull off his hat, and wave it with the word " Off," and such signal to be deemed a start; but if he saw any thing wrong occur he should cause two flags to be displayed in directions which he pointed out, which would imply a false start. After this the different horses were mounted, each taking his canter ; jockies trying their stirrups, &c., and a lapse of 17 minutes occurred, before they all got together, which gave the spectators an opportunity of view ing the movements and capabilities of the horses, and thereby coming to a final determination in their betting. After a great deal of marching and counter-marching, and wheeling about to get into a proper line, at 12 minutes before three o'clock, the word off was given, and they started, but it was no go ;._ the colours were hoisted, and back they came, having to work them Selves into line belare they could be brought into re-action; in three minutes and a half the signal was repeated, and all was right. Dauntless jumped offancrmade very severe running to the Hill ; then came up Brother to Addy, who continued the race at a slashing rate to the Red House, where most of the scragged ones dropped off. Then Memnon came in front, closely followed by Alderman, and, between these two, there was fine running till near home, when Memnon shot a-head, and won the Great St. Leger by several lengths. It was a beau tiful race, and the greatest part of it was finely contested. Red gauntlet might have had a better station in all probability, hod he not unavoidably run !against a post placed in a socket, to chew the course in a distant part and which he broke to pieces. We understand that the horse has materially injured his leg or foot, but James Robinson escaped uninjured. Fleur-de-Lis fell (crossed as report says, by a north country jockey), and over him dropped Zirza, but luckily neither of the riders nor h or ses were injured. Such was the crowded situation of this race, that Arnall, who rode Brother to Addy, and many others were absolutely obliged to place their knees and legs along the horses' shoulders and necks, having no possible means of riding otherwise. W. Scott rode Memnon. The ground was run in three minutes and twenty-three seconds and a half. The Renewed Doncaster Stakes (last year) of lOgs. each, and 20 added by the Corporation, for all ages.

ENGLISH OPERA Housr..—There is a pathetic simplicity in the story of The Shepherd's Boy, with a mixture of comic incidents that render it very interesting and very amusing. It is also so well supported by the Performers in general, that its success is the due result of its dramatic and theatrical merit. Miss KELLY never ap peared to more advantage, if so much, as in this attractive piece. It was followed last night with the oft-repeated Der Freischutz, which was first brought forward at this Theatre, and which has not been excelled by the representations at the others. Mr. TtiottNE took the part of Roth)lph, for the first time. He is a natu rat actor, and an agreeuble singer ; and though he was obviously embarrassed, under the con sciousness of succeeding the chief male per former on the English Stage, he was animated by applause, and acquitted himself very well. Miss PATON brought forth the fullness of her powers, and was highly and most deservedly applauded. There was such a turbulent 'call for a repetition of the Huntsman's Chorus, and so violent an opposition, that Mr. BARTLEY was obliged to come forward and avow his readiness to submit to the will of the majority. It was not repeated, and. the noise Subsided.—A crowded audience. OLD BAlLEY.—(rais DAY.) TRIAL OF COLLINS, LADY LAMBERT'S COACH- MAN. James Collins, aged '24, was put to the liar, charged with the wilful murder of Nicholas Daw kins, a Police Officer, while attending his duty at Burlington House, Piccadilly, at a route given on the 23d May last, by Lord George Henry Caven dish. The particulars of this case have already appeared in the Police accounts. A number of witnesses have been examined touching the mat ter in question, among whom was the Earl of Westmoreland, who took his seat on the Bench, by the side of Mr. Justice Gaselee. The trial excites considerable interest, and the case for the prosecution had not closed when our Paper was put to press. !MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

The Moffatt, from China and Quebec, is not arrived, as stated on Tuesday. • FATAL ACCIDENT.-Friday afternoon, a dis. tressing accident occurred at GREAT Yartsou'rtt, on the river, near Fisher's Quay, by the upsetting of a boat. A large party of ladies and gentlemen, consisting of Mr. Andrews, Misses Sarah, Catherine, Mary, and Frances Andrews, son and daughters of the late Rev. Mr. Andrews, of Flempton near this town, Rev. Mr. Harris, Mr. Power, and Mr.• Cape, enaged a boat to sail on that fine piece of water, near Yarmouth, called Bradon, and had spent the day in the most agree able manner. On their return, when near Turner's bowl ' ing-green, it was 'suggested that they should land there, but a man named J. Bull, in the employ of the owner of the boat, advised them to proceed to the place from whence they started, and there land; Bull then unsolicited got into the boat with the party, to assist them doWn with it. The boat afterwards gently dropped down the river with the tide about 200 yards further, when they arrived at the quay, where they were about to land. One of the gentlemen here got into a smaller boat, and was put on shore, Bull then threw the jib-halyards for him to make fast, without properly securing them to the side of the boat, which he ought to have done; the rope was thus fastened from the mast head to the shore. The tide was running very strong at the time, which caused the head of the boat to sheer off from the shore., consequently was carried round with its side to the current, and owing to the rope being improperly fastened to the mast-head it instant:y upset, When all on board were precipitated iLto the rive-. The accident was observed by many persons, and boats immediatelyput off-to their assistance ; some without oars,others with only one ; and from the confusion which ensued, it was much doubted whether any of them could he saved. We are, however, happy to add, that the ladies and gentlemen above mentioned were all preserved by the boats; some of them in a nearly exhausted state, and others apparently lifeless. The gentleman suffered but little, as they were all able to swim ; but the ladies floated down the river, buoyed up by their clothes, • some of them nearly to the bridge, a distance of two hundred yards, before they were picked up. The most distressing part of this occurrence is, that .1. Bull, the man who went on board unsolicited, and was in the boat when it upset, has never been seen or heard of. It is supposed he must have been stunned by a blow o the boat going over, as he was a very good swimmer. COAL MARKET, SEPT. 21.

BALLOON ASCENT AT YOUII.—The ascent of GREEN, the aeronaut, in his balloon, at a quarter last four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, concluded the public entertainments of the week at York. It took place from the Gas Works, which are si tuated on the Scarborough road, a little beyond the city gate called Monk-bar. The ascent was ex ceedingly beautiful and interesting, the ballou, with a majestic grace, floating through the air, Mr. Green occasionally waving a flag towards the upward-gazing multitude, who cheered him on his mission to the clouds. 4 2 5 3 2 4 3 dis ROBBERY OF THE GRAVE.—Zenas C.
