His enormous consumption enables him to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but one system in selling, charging a uniform per centage, the lowest ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour him with their confidence and commands will receive the full benefit of his capital and experience.

The PrOprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept on hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the best possible manner : and he can say, without exception, that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats being manufactured daily for his various Establishments. - - .

RIOTS AT MANCHESTER. ROYAL PROGRESSES. THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S INTENDED VISIT TO MALVERN WELLS. CHARTIST MEETING AT ISLINGTON. Yesterday evening a meeting of the Chartist of London, numbering between 10,000 and 12,000, was held upon Islington-green, in accordance with an an nouncement by placard, to the following effect : " Awful state of the country.—A public muting will be held on Thursday, August 16th, to take into consideration the conduct of the authorities, in vio lently assaulting and firing upon an unarmed popu lace, whose only crime was want of food." The readers of the daily journals will per ceive that this was the placard upon vviich was based the number of summonses issued fral Bow street Wednesday and yesterday, terminating in or dering the bearers of placards to find bail for their go Jd behaviour. Dr. Webb took the chair amidst loud cheers, about seven o'clock, and after exhorting the vast assemblage to peace, law, and order, called upon Mr. MuNTz, who proposed the first resolution, to the following effect :—" That the meeting do memo rialize her Majesty, expressing its sympathy with the men of the North, their detestation of those parties who were the first cause of wanton massacre; and above all, that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to re ward those gallant men who had grounded their arms and refused to fire on their starving countrymen:" The latter part of this resolution was responded to by immense cheering, which lasted for nearly two minutes. The speaker continued to observe that, until latterly, it was supposed that the soldier's heart was untouched by the sparkof patriotism, but later events had proved that such was not the case ; they refused to fire upon "an unarmed populace, whose only crime was want of food." Mr. Muntz concluded a very able address, by requesting every one present., by all peaceful, honest, and legal means, to manifest their sympathy for their suffering brethren in the North.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, It is a theme that could only be wrought out by the poet, to describe the beautiful prospects that are to be seen by the spectator, once arrived at Mah:ern-hill. If a distant view delights, here you may see the counties of Monmouth, Here timl, Radnor, Brecknock, Salop, Worcester, Gloucester, and. Stafford, together with many market-towns. It' you are pleased with a nearer view, the pear-trees of Worcestershire, at this immediate season in full bearing, furnish a rich summer scene. On the western side the apple trees of Herefordshire, with their purple hut', make an agreeable variety; add to this the va ried ground, the beautiful but diminutive hills, and the rich woods which improve the Here fordshire prospect. If to the beauty of the situa tion be added the salubrity and pureness of the air, Malvern for the summer months affords as desirable a residence as is anywhere to be met with in England. The Holy Well, called Malvern Well, is situated about a quarter of a mile below the village. Its waters are characterized by an extraordinary purity, that makes it exceed in this respect any other known. The purest waters in the city of Worcester contains fifty times as much earth, Vie hot well at Bristol twenty times, and the spring at Renwick-hill, near Worcester, twelve times as much earth. As the best proof of its excellent clearness Dr. Wall, after a very dry season in 1743, evaporated three quarts of this ' Holy Well water in an open silver vessel, when no residuum was left that could be collected, only the bottom of the vessel was tinged of a pale yellow colour,•which was.considered to be some what of a bituminous or oily nature. At the well is, built a large house, with all conveniences, for the reception of those who come to drink the waters. FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c. No. 26, CORNHILL.

On. 12r., or thereabouts, of Arable and Meadow Land, in a ring -fence, about thirty and a half acres of which are Freehold, and the remainder Copyhold of the Manor of Farnborough, with a very comfortable Farm-house, built in the Elizabethan style, and ample Out-buildings, erected a few years ago. The house contains four rooms, kitchen, back kitchen, and dairy, and is so constructed as to render it an easy matter to enlarge or remodel the same at a trifling expense. The situation of the house is pleasant and healthy, being a short distance from the high turnpike-road to Farnham and Portsmouth, and the salubrity of the air is proverbial. The land is a light loam, and well adapted for the growth of all kinds of white and green crops of superior qua lity. To a gentleman engaged in business in London, and fond of agricultural pursuits, this little property offers great advan tages, being within an hour and a half's ride of the metropolis. It is in the occupation of a highly respectable tenant, whose term expires at Michaelmas, 1843, when a considerable ad vance of rent may be obtained. Arrangements for immediate possession may ke made if required. For further particulars and orders to view apply to Messrs.

CAMPBELL JAMES DOWNER, Secretary. At this period of the meeting two stones were thrown, either from a lane immediately behind the platform upon which the speaker stood, or from an unfinished house, in the same direction, one of which struck the Chairman. It was about the size of a t mnis-ball, and various were the surmises of those who witnessed the act without seeing the ruffian—the villain who thus tried to excite disturbance in an as sembly which manifested more decorum, and more attention to the speaker than is usually to be found amongst the " aggregate wisdom" of the nation.

" I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison, of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under irny own superintendence, I have found that in starching it goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not iable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that potatoe flour is not used in its manuftieture. " AW. F Y FE, M. D. , F. R. S.

Prospectuses, and all necessary information, may be obtained at the Office. MICHAEL SAWARD, Secretary. Mr. PARKER, in seconding the resolution, re gretted to find that attempts had been mute to lessen 1 the physico-moral effect produced by numbers. The Times had stated the numbers at Stepney-green, in Wednesday morning's publication, as about 9,000 or 10,000, but having to do the work of its taskmasters, in the following publication it was announced as only 1,500. But he would look around at the present as semblage, and confidently give the lie to the base and blood-thirsty print, which advocated the doctrine of " wholesome blood-letting." Another resolution,- expressive of a conviction that the police and military were only doing that which their duty required of them in strictness, having been moved by Mr. Bolwell, and seconded by Mr. Ander son, in effective addresses : and others having spoken in support of the resolution, and urged upon the meeting the necessity of civility and courtesy to those functionaries, the meeting adjourned, about half past eight o'clock, to Clerkenwell-green. The van from which the speakers addressed the meeting having proceeded in the above direction, was followed by the greater part of the vast assemblage, and having drawn up opposite the Sessions-house, several speakers addressed the meeting, which sepa rated peaceably about ten o'clock. The authorities were in the neighbourhood, but everything was cha racterised by the greatest quiet. " July 25, 1842."

As I did walk alone Late in an evening I heard the voice of ono Most sweetly singing,. Which did delight me much, Because the song was such, And ended with a touch. 0 praise the Lord. • * * * Out of thy famous hill, Fair Malverne, springeth A water, passing still, Which always bringeth Great comfort to all them That are diseased men, And makes them well again, To praise the Lord. * * * VICTORIA LIFE ASSURANCE AND LOAN COMPANY.

The Gazette of this evening will announce the average prices of British, Brown, or Muscovado Sugars, exclusive of duty, as follows : West India •• 36s. 31d. per cwt. East India ... Mauritius •• ..... .. 3ss. 91d. ~ Total average price........ The actual quantities of S ug ar sold in the w eek ' ending the 16th inst., accordi ng to the returns made upon oath by the sugar br o k ers , in conformity- with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantities the above prices are computed, consisted of 21,559 cwt. of West India, 3,045 cwt. of East India, and 7,238 cwt. of Mauritius. On Tuesday about 200 hhds. of Muscomdo Sugar from Cuba, of a quality (both as regards strength and whiteness) superior to 'West India Sugar, were sold in Mincing-lane, at public auction, for from 16s. to 17s. per cwt., being 20s. per cwt. cheaper than p rov ing, beyond all cavil, that the consumers of this country are p a y in g the British Plantation Sugar, monopolists, as we stated last week, four millions ster ling per annum in excess of price beyond the conti nental market value of their sugars. ? - We understand that the importers o f su g ar from Cuba have realised a very handsome profit by th above sale, and that other cargoes of it may be ex pected to follow—the price in Cuba being only one dollar and a-half, or 6s. 6d. per cwt. . llast thou a wound to heal, • The which (loth grieve thee ?

A thousand bottles there, Were filled weekly, And many costrils rare For stomachs sickly ; Some of them into Kent, Some were to London sent, Others to Berwick went, O praise the Lord. Malvern is said to derive its name from the British word mod, signifying bald, and were, alders, importing a bald bill with alders at its base, which was formerly the character of this place. Before the Conquest it was a wilderness thick set with trees, in the midst of which some monks, who aspired to greater perfection, retired from the Priory of Worcester, and became her mits. The enthusiasm spread so fast, that their number soon increased to three hundred, when they formed themselves into a society under the order of St. Benedict, and founded a monastery. An opinion is abroad, that in Malvern-hill exists a rich mine; for about the middle of the hill is found a species of talc, resisting the utmost violence of fire ; some of the specimens are of the nature of steatites, and others have the splendid appearance of mica, In the year 1711, one William Williams, of Bristol, sunk a mine about a mile from the town, on the top of the hill, as you go to the Holy Well. He took a lease from the Bishop of Hereford, sank shafts, and built furnaces, but though he never ex tracted any considerable metal, he asserted that both tin and copper were to be found. Indeed it has long been a superstitious opinion with the people of this neighbourhood, that great quantities of treasure have been deposited in times past, on this range of hills. The origin of this is not easy to account for, but it has been considerably strengthened by some casual discoveries, particularly about forty years ago when a quantity of silver coins were found. A peasant also, in 1650, as be was digging a ditch round his cottage, discovered a coronet of gold, set with precious stones. This of course only added to the belief in this ignorant principle. 111RITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANY, 1. PRINCES-STREET, BANK, LONDON.

But if these indirect insinuations are still to be obtruded on the public, B. and S, feel theinselves justified in offering those explanations that, may enable the public to judge for themselves.and S. have placed the name of Schweppe uon their bottles, it was never to mislea d the public as to connexion with that firm, but for the purpose of annou ncing a , legitimate fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im d cre dit to the name of Schwe pp e, they ilase puting un ue simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe i and Co., —an undoubte d fact, or doubtless t . would have been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very at period that the waters sold by Sc h weppe gave to th na me all the celeb rit y it ever obtained, Mr. Summers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by that house in London, Derby,. and Bristol..

Whether the waters since manufactured by the pres ent firm of Sch we ppe and Co. retain the quality which .acquired for that house all its celebrity, B. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in justice to themselves,. they do, with the most perfect con fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedgo and Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived from filling them with waters of their own manufactory ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patrona'c: as may be deserved from the Aerated Waters produl at their own manufactory., and sold under the labels their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol. THE CANADIAN PROPHECY. — Our readers will, no doubt, remember the prophecy mentioned in our pages some weeks ago. The Highland seer, resident in Canada, predicted that war was to descend upon us, and the peaceful banks of Loehness were to be deluged with blood ! The belief is still as strong as ever. We have tried to throw cold water on the imposition, b 7 ridi culing it ; but, though men are sometimes to be laughed, rather than reasoned, out of a belief, this delusion has a hold that seems strong enough to defy th e power o f either means to eradicat e it. The accounts that reach us of the state of doubt a nd anxiety into which the minds of thousands have been thrown, are almost incredible. Many are anxious to emigrate before the blow comes upon the country- - many are hanging on in continual fear ; while others, putting a bold fale upon on the idat ter, are furbishing their "fathers' swords" for the strife.

(From the Scotsman.) The announcement that the Queen is about to visit Scotland, has been hailed with lively satisfaction by her loyal subjects in this part of the kingdom. Such an event has, we believe, been fora considerable time past in contemplation. her Majesty has, we under stand, expressed a desire that her visit should be at tended with as little display as possible ; and the short ness of the time allowed for preparation, is probably intended to prevent unnecessary and expensive pa geantries. On the present occasion, therefore, there will be less external magnificence than on the visit of George the Fourth, twenty years ago. We need not look for the same muster of Highland clans. Scot land's mighty poet and romancer will also be wanting to animate the scene, and shed on the Royal presence the lustre of his genius and name. Nevertheless, w e confidently anticipate that the reception given to her Majesty will be worthy of a hospitable and generous people, and there will, we know, be ensured for her the highest demonstrations of attachment on this, her first visit to the Scottish capital. Her Majesty is to leave London on Monday week; the 29th inst., in the Royal George yacht, attended by two ships of war, and is expected to reach Gran ton Pier on Wednesday. She will be accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert , and ot her illus trious personages, including pro babl y the Duke of Wellington, and if the state of the country will per mit of their absence from head-quarters, Sir R. Peel And Sir James Graham. On landing, the Royal party will proceed to Dalkeith Palace, the seat of the Duke of Buccleuch, where they will remain during the whole of Thursday. On Priday, the Queen will hold a drawing-room at Holyrood, the ladies to appear in morning-dresses, an arrangement intended to pre ', vent the ostentation and expense of Court costume.

Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. e a rß,—Having seen the indiscriminate attacks 1.3 which have been made on all Patent Medicines, by a very ab'e writer, in a weekly paper, without allowing that several have been of great service to the public—such as Dr. James's Powders, &c., which is frequently prescribed by the first physicians in the country, and as I, as agent for the sale oe the LONDON RESTORATIVE am thereby classed with those pretenders, who can show no medical guarantee for the safety of the public, nor the genuiness of their medicine. I beg leave, therefore, respectfully to inform you, that the com position of the London Restorative is from the Recipe of Dr. Thomas Buchanan, of Hull, Graduate, member of several learned societies, author of several surgical works, papers, Sm. and whose publications are quoted by the most celebrated pro fessional writers of the (lay. It was owing to the repeated failures of the best medical practitioners in Britain, in the treatment of several diseases, that led to the discovery of the medicine sold by me as the London Restorative. Owing to the great expense incurred by experiments &c., during upwards of twenty years, Dr. Bucha nan consulted a physician of the first talent in London, on the subject, who advised him—" To dispose of the Medicine in this form, until his expenses were reimbursed, and then to throw it open to the profession." From the acknowledged talent and genius of Dr. Buchanan, who, by his publications and practice, placed acoustic surgery in the high station it now holds in Britain, the public may safely rely on the properties of any recipe of that very able practitioner.—l remain, Sir, yours mcst respectfully, WM.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 17.—The gun-brigs Rolla, 10, and Brisk, 10, have gone on to the eastward to be paid off, from the west coast of Africa, and if in a fit state will doubtless return to that station shortly. The Talbot t 26, Captain Sir Thomas Thompson, I3art., bound to the Brazils, had not arrived at Ma deira on the 23d of July. She has dispatches for Rear-Admiral Thomas, C. 8., and men for the squadron. There is no ship of war fitting out at Plymouth or Portsmouth. The Imaum, 72, intended as receiv ing-ship at Jamaica, will be ready in a few days to proceed, under the command of Lieut. Stewart. Letters have been received here from the Carysfort, 26, Captain Lord George Paulet, of the 4th of June, reporting her arrival at Rio de Janeiro from Spit head on the 18th of May, after a passage of nearly seven weeks. She was refitting to proceed to join the Admiral. at Valparaiso, and to touch at the Falk land Islands to land stores. The Alfred, 52, Commo (lore Purvis, C. 8., arrived out from England the day previous. The Isis, 44, had left Rio for the Cape of Good Hope, where she would remain for some time with the new Admiral. The Siren, 16, Commander W. Smyth, arrived at Calcutta, from England, on the 4th May, and was to join Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker in the Chinese Seas, without loss of time. The Lords of the Admiralty will shortly visit this Dockyard, and other public establishments, on their annual tour of inspection. . . _ The Meteor steamer has been commissioned in the river, by Lieut. George Butler, as a tug boat for vessels of war. The steamer Hydra, Commander Murray, has passed by, for Woolwich, from the West Indies, to be paid off, having been employed for some time in the Mediterranean. The Pique, 36, the Hon. Capt. Stopford, is at Spit• head, awaiting orders. She is destined for the I'Vesi Indies. The Salamander, Dee, and Avcn, steamers, will shortly touch at this port, from the eastward. The Columbia steamer, for the North-American station, has passed by for Plymouth. The Buzzard, 3, brigantine, will shortly be com missioned at Plymouth, for the west coast of Africa. The Orestes, 18, is to be commissioned at this port, with a complement of 140 men. The Malabar, 72, Captain Sir G. Sartorius, arrived at Teneriffe, from Plymouth, on the 19th June, and, having re-victualled, left that island on the 23d, to join the squadron on the South American station.

TUB OVERLAND MAIL FROM INDIA.—In conse quence of the delay that is incurred by the tr Ansmission of the despatches through France, via Marseilles, from India and Egypt, by the new arrangements with the French Post-office department, and the complaints that are continually made by the London Journals at their detention by the French Government, the Bight Hon. Lord Lowther, the Postmaster-General, has been nego tiating with the Directeur-General des Postes of Austria to have them transmitted via Trieste. Should this ar rangement be concluded, which is at the suggestion of Mr. Waghorn, the agent for the British Government at Alexandria, several flays will be saved by this route. The steamers have a greater facility in reaching the Port of Trieste from Alexandria and Malta, and they have the most efficient telegraphic lines and railroads throughout Austria to Hamburgh and Belgium, to trans mit the earliest intelligence of the war that is now carry ing on in our eastern possessions and China.

Miss Bentley had the charge of the house of Mr. Perry, of the Morning Chronicle, for several years before his death, and was one of his executors; and he entrusted to her the care of his three unmarried daughters, during their minority. Miss Bent ley was a remarkable woman. Her understanding was excellent, and-her conversation to the last was piquant and original in the highest degree. She was a zealous and affectionate friend, and her memory will loag be held in remembrance by a numerous circle of friends. NATURE.—" All nature," says Schlegel; in the Philosophic de Vie, "is to human eyes a pyramid covered with hieroglyphics, of which few are Intelligible to us because the key is wanting, and because we ask Nature for it, instead of praying to God that he would unfold to us the mystery and glory of Rio works." 4- t}/ /2 2 roblemen and gentlemen in uniform, and a Ma Song [ muster is expected ot\the Queen's Body Guard, the Deputy-Lieutenants oaounties, and other personages of note. On Saturday her Majesty and suite swill visit the principal sights of the metropolis, and on Sun— day attend Divine service in the High Church. Having thus honoured the metropolis, the Queen will proceed on Monday to Scoone Palace on a visit to the Earl of Mansfield. She will afterwards visit Lord Willoughby D'Eresby at Drummond Castle, the Earl of Kinnoul at Duplin Castle, and the Mar quis of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle, where ex 7, tensive preparations are making for her reception. In her route, she will see some of the finest of our High land scenery, including Dunkeld ; and, after a week thus happily spent, the Royal party will return to Dalkeith Palace, on Monday, the 12th proximo, and re-embark the next day for Woolwich. A special meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council was held yesterday, when a committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the reception of the Royal visitors. The strongest desire was mani fested by all parties to render these as complete as possible, and to welcome her Majesty in a style worthy of the capital of Scotland. This is a feeling in which all good subjects will participate. We hope, however, that the Committee will not suffer their loyalty to get the better of their prudence, as we are sure that any very costly display—which, indeed, the city can ill afford—would, in the present state of the country, be at variance with her Majesty's wishes. We do not profess much sympathy with that sort of utilitarianism which seeks to abolish altoge ther those external splendours in which so many find enjoyment;. but while we hold that our young and popular Sovereign should be welcomed with enthu siasm, we should regret to see such profuse extrava gance as attended the visit of George the Fourth, when, among other follies, 5,000/. was added to the city debt, to furnish out an entertainment in the Par liament House. Our loyalty will be best shown by respecting the judicious desire of her Majesty, that her visit should partake more of a private character than of an affair of state. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The great return match between file gentlemen of the Marylebone Club and six players, and fur gentlemen selected from the Northern Counties of England (with Mr. Alfred Mynn, the celebrated bowler of Kent) and six professionals, was commenced on Monday last, at the Leicester ground, and did not terminate until Wednesday, from the lengthened duration of the innings, each of which were contested with the most spirited determi nation, and consequently the interest of the match was maintained until the players went out on the declaration that the Marylebone eleven had won the gaMe, with no less than seven wickets to go down. This match inva riably excites great interest at Lord's, among the leading fashionable clubs, and also among the amateurs and players of the North, and is productive of great speculation. The betting on this occasion was very brisk, and some large sums have necessarily ex changed hands, as it was well known that certain dis tinguished and celebrated players had heavy " books" on the event. At the commencement of the game, betting was even, the Club for choice. Subjoined is a list of the players, from which it is evident that the greatest care and judgment had been exercised in their selection : Marylebone Club—Hon. F. Ponsonby, Hon. R. Grimstone, It. Kynaston, Esq., E. Bayley, Esq., R. W. Keste, Esq., and T. A. Anson, Esq. Players — Pilch, Lillywhite, Dean, Hillyer, and Sewell. Nor thern Counties—F. Thackeray, Esq., C. Cresswell, Esq., G. Kettle, Esq., F. Noyes, Esq., and A. Mynn, Esq. Players—Guy, Redgate, Good, , H. Deacon, Butler, and. Barker. The Club went in first and second 243, which had a great effect on the betting, and they were then freely backed at 5 to 4 with plenty of takers. The Hon F. Ponsonby (c. by Mr. Noyes), obtained sixty runs. The Hon. R. Grimstone (b. by Mr. Mynn), 27. Mr. Anson (b. by Mr. Mynn) 0. Mr. Keate (b. by Barker), 5 ; Mr. Kynaston, (c. by Mr. Mynn). 13 ; Mr. Bayley (not out), 27 ; Dean (e. by Mr. Kettle), 5 ; liillyer (c. by Brown, a substitute), 1 ; Lillywhite (c. by Good), 31 ; Sewell (c. by Brown), 22 ; Pilch (c. by Mr. Cresswell), 27. Byes, 11 ; white balls, 13 ; no ball, 1 ; total, 243. To this innings, the play altogether was of the very first order, the balling of the Howl. Mr. Pon sonbv, the Hon. Mr. Grimstone, Mr. Bayley, Mr. Knas ton, Pilch, Lillywhite, and Sewell, bein g much admired. Mr. Mynn and Barker, bowled in their usual style of excellence, and their colleagues displayed the greatest activity in the field, no less than seven wickets being caught out. The Northern Counties in their first innings made 141. Mr. Kettle (c. by Hillyer) 0 ; Mr. Cresswell (c. by Mr. Bayley) 4 ; Mr. Noyes (b. by Lillywhite) 29 ; Mr. Thackeray (b. by Dean), 5 ; Mr. A. Mynn (c. by Hillyer), 8 ; Butler (c. by the Hon. Mr. Grimstone), 4 ;Barker (c. by Lillywhite), 24 ; Guy (I) by Lillywhite), 46 ; Deacon (not out), 5 ; Redgate (c. by Hillyer), 2 ; Good (b. by Lillywhite), 7. Byes 4, wide balls, 3. In consequence of the Counties having scored more than a hundred runs less than their oppo nents, they were, pursuant to the laws of cricket, com pelled to follow their innings, which they did, and marked 129. Mr. Kettle (c. by Mr. Kingston), 0 ; Mr. Cresswell (c. by Mr. Anson), 6 ; Mr. Noyes (c, by Brown), 3; Mr. Thackeray (c. by Dean),l4 ; Mr. Mynn(b. by Lillywhite j, 35; Butler (c. by Mr. Anson), 7; Barker (b. by Hillyer), 1; Guy (c. by Mr. Kynaston), 21 ; De.acdn (c. by Dean), 7; Redgate (not out), 4 ; Good (c. by Brown), 32. Byes, 4 ; Wide Balls, 0. The Club then went in again, and got 28, thus winning the match, as before stated, with seven wickets to go down. The Hon. R. Grimstone (c. by Redgate), 8 ; Mr. Keate (c. by Good), 0 ; liynaston (b. by Barker), 2 ; Hillyer (not out), 9 ; Pilch (not out), 6. Byes, 1 ; Wide Balls, 2. Some of the players of the Counties batted uncommonly well, particularly Guy, Good, and Mr. Noyes. It was antici pated that Mr. Mynn, from his previous success this season, would have materially added to the more, but, unluckily, in the first innings, he was caught out by Hillyer, clearing 8 runs only, and in the second bowled by Lillywhite, having marked but 36. The Counties' players were equally as active in fielding as their adver saries. The ground each day was attended by a large assemblage of spectators. TASSO'S CURE FOR SPEAKING ILL.—The character of Tasso has obtained the highest praise. It is said of him that there never was a scholar more humble, a wit more devout, or a man more amiable in society. Some person reported to him that a malicious enemy spoke ill ~f him to all the world. " Let him persevere," said Tasso ; " his rancour gives me no pain. How much better is it that he should speak ill of me to all the world, than that all the world should speak ill of me to him." OLD PIGEON.—Mr. Isaac Stubbs of the Dale, near liirkoswald, in Camberland, has in his possession a wood-pigeon upwards of twenty-three years old. The bird, for the Most part, remains in the house, and fre quently has two very singular playmates—namely, the sheep-dog and cat. The docility of the bird is truly wonderful. "IT IS VULGAR."—Lest I should forget to men tion it, I put down here a rebuke which, later in life, Sir Walter gave in my hearing to his daughter Anne. She happened to say of 'something, I forget what, that she could not abide it—it was vulgar. My love, said her father, you speak like a very young lady ; do you know, after all, the meaning of this word vulgar ? 'Tis only common ; nothing that is common except wickedness, can deserve to be spoken of in a tone of contempt ; and when you have lived to my years, you will be disposed to agree with me in thanking God that nothing really worth having or caring about in this world, is uncom mon."—Life of Sir Walter Scott. On Sunday a foreigner, a German, who was very well dressed, and had a silver watch and guard, besides a quantity of German coin in Ms possession, expired in the Westminster Hospital. lie died without being able to state who or what he was, and must be buried by the parish unless this should be noticed by some of his friends. On Friday evening the deceased was very et iapp aybl i e n s ofY otarkkisntgreecat,reWoesf himself. that and so the ev p id o e li n c t e ly co i n n - - veyed him to the New -w ay sta t ion. He be came so much worse, that Mr. Pearce, the surgeon, was sent for, and found him labouring under delirium tremens. He advised that he should be immediately taken to the hospital, which was done, and every attention paid to him. lie continued insensible up to the time of his death, and the only words he was heard to utter were something like— " Where is the captain ? I want to go to sleep." He was an extremely well made man-, about six feet high, and twenty-five or twenty-six years of age, with a fair and very engaging countenance, and long auburn hair. TRANSMISSION OF GOLD AND SILVER TO THE COUNTRY.—Great praise is due to the Directors of the Bank of England and Government fur the speedy supply of gold and silver coinage they have transmitted to the disturbed districts and the brlnch banks, in case there should be a run upon the Savings' Banks for " Gold, gold." Since Monday a very large amount of specie has been sent down to Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and the northern part of England, so as to meet the de mands that may be made by the deluded populace for money in exchange for their orders and notes. A CHARGE IN FRONT.—A sergeant, ferociously attacked by a mastiff, ran the brute through the body with his halbert. " Cruel wretch 1" cried a sensitive oul, " why did you not strike the poor dog with the butt end of your pike ?" "So I would," said the man, ",,if he 44 rim at we wish 148 till" ~ ~~,✓ 30 45 1 30 M 1E B 4 9 ~ II 2 0 9 36 e 4 9 45 I! Po LND git til° l 'E il' ) Pbel St" Jr 01 ' ~r
