The writer of this article states, that the Lon don University is solely got up as a money spe culation—that money is the founder of the In stitution, which ought to be called " Libert politiqzte et religieuse clans tout l'univers." Now we should like to know what University, Temple, or Palace, has been built without money, or its equivalent, labour purchased by articles worth so much money ? But the writer is sadly mistaken in his conclusions. The London University was not instituted for money speculation—it had a far nobler aim— the wish to communicate knowledge by render ing its acquisition easy to those who could not afford to spend a fortune on one child at the ex pence of the rest of the family and the plan of selling the shares was resorted to as being the only means of effecting the purpose intended. But we do not see what rational objection there can be to the Shareholders of the London University making money by the concern. Is not the profit acquired by the investment of capital in a concern, having for its object the diffusion of knowledge for the benefit of mankind, far more ho nourable, at least more charitable, than that derived from speculations of a selfish nature ? That man is surely a better member of society, who does good to his fellow-creatures while he enriches himself, than he whose sole object is individual gratification. The Austrian may pride himself upon the antiquity of his institu tions, while be crouches beneath their absolute tendency but he should not animadvert upon the liberal institutions of England, till those of his own country are calculated to diffuse similar benefits, by catching a portion of their en lightened spirit : LONDON UNIVERSITY. VIENNA, SEPT. 1. As hatred of all persorial, spiritual, and temporal Cor porations, and the decree of destroying them, was a distin guishing feature of the 18th century, so is a universal ten dency to Money Corporations and Companies a peculiarity of the nineteenth century. A certain propensity to federa tion is natural to man ; and, if the selfishness of men does not allow them to join and submit to a guild fraternity or company, they must at least associate their property for numberless great objects which are not to be attained ex cept by the voluntary union of money. A great number of such Money Corporations or Joint Stock Companies have been established within the last 20 years. We are able clearly to distinguish the good and the evil, the honest and the dishonest, the external appearance from the internal essence. Hitherto all money corporations have had material objects, such as commerce, canals, mines, &c. It was re served for the land of inventions and improvements, for England, first to set the example of a money corporation for intellectual purposes, for the diffusion of instruction and knowledge over the whole earth—we mean the London University which is now being formed, and the first detailed and authentic account of which is given in the Morning Chronicle of Aug. S. Hitherto the obscured, yet still powerful conviction, had prevailed in England, that education and instruction pro ceeded from a superior spiritual authority, and hence the English Universities were on their part the most powerful supports of the spiritual authority, namely, of the Anglican Church ; they were corporations of the most inflexible kind, full of abuses not averse to science of the highest kind, yet without favouring it in their regulations ; ruins of monastic antiquity, in which modern elegance and school pedantry are found mingled in the most motley confusion. Nevertheless, they had in their favour their spiritual origin, their traditional form, and their corporative union, and we therefore nerd not be surprised that they remained the proper citadels of Toryism a'id of Anglican opinion, and that from them the chief opposition on what is called the Catholic Question in fact proceeded. Meantime the opposite opinion has gradually gained ground, that instruction and education proceed from another authority, which is gaining mere and more power over human affairs—namely, money ; and nothing, therefore, is more natural than that a Money and Stock Joint Company, seizes on the formal direction of learning. A Society of unknown shareholders directs and controls the supreme Council, consisting of 24 persons, which re gulates' and directs the studies, appoints the professors, governs iu the last instance the scientific education of suc ceeding generations, while itself depends, as the Gods of Antiquity did, on Fate, upon the course of the exchange, and sale of the shares. Great and celebrated names on the list of proprietors make no change in this respect, for in this situation they have no influence as authorities in matters of science and opinion, but their influence de pends on the market value of their shares, and thus money appears for the first time as supreme ruler and lawgiver in the domain of science, the nursery of posterity : the sole and last hope of a convulsed age is hereby solemnly and formally given up to the sway of Mammon. This is the London University. All that can be known will be taught ; the physical branches in the most minute man ner ; the moral and historical, ml libitum ; the doctrines range themselves by the side of each other, as chance directs ; the discipline is left to those with whom the stu dents lodge; religion and theology are excluded. The supreme authority of the shareholders does not profess the doctrine of any particular confession ; not even belief in the Unity of God is required for admission into the Univer sity of that ancient province of Christendom. The declaration of the authors of the prospectus, in reference to the article of religion, is afflicting. They do not say like the assassin Louvel, " Dieu West jarnais venu our la terre.' They sincerely lament that the most important of all objects of instruction must be passed over for the sake of the many sects—for the sake of the natives of both Indies, who are to be educated in this University, and, we will add, for the sake of the money and the shares of that unknown Grand Master of th e London University, before whose cosmopolite way of thinking, all difference of faith and faith itself vanishes. The most suitable inscription for the splendid edifice now building for the London University, would be the celebrated toast, "Liberte politique'et relipieuse dans tout l'unicers." This would most clearly express the sentiments of the founders and patrons of the new University. For it is not Whigs who arm and launch this Leviathan of learning against the Oxford of the Tories. All parties are agreed that these party names are no longer applicable to them. It is the cosmopolites, who, under the protection of universal commerce and pecuniary interest, are endea vouring to deprive the Anglicans, step by step, of the soil of Old England, of its manners and its laws, and in whose hands even the Catholic cause of Ireland has become an affair of cosrnopolitis m . It is not domestic questions that are now at issue, as in the struggles between the Whigs and the Tories ; the present contest embraces the whole in habited world, Shall England et the head of the whole colonised world beyond the seas, be hostilely opposed to ancient Europe and its i . 4 nstitutions, as the cosmopolites desire 9 Or shall it, according to the Of the Anglica ns, r emain a memb er , though in npurPao"" y respects separated and independent, y e t united by affection and blood, of the g re a t family of the European States? whichisst a in ti t i h ir e d co p n ar te ty st , This is the Pni" i t n at between those those two systematic m low at e i r e British parties, principles, appear at classes of the people, who are worked upon to tak e . consistency according to radical pre sent to be spectators only—undecided which side For the present it may suffice to have pointed out how the establishment of the London University is a n ew and ,Ist alarming indication of the advantage which the cosnao party i n 4 ,rnglitrid has gained over its ad versaries. - The cause to which we attributed yesterday the decline in the MeTican Bonds, proves to hav e been the real Owe. Viscount ROCA FUERTE, the Mexican Charge d'Affaires in this country, has issued a notice that the Dividends due on the Ist October cannot be paid ; but he holds out the expectation that the delay of their payment will be of short duration, and that his Government will faithfully fulfil all its engage lents. The latter assurance, however, has not "stored the confidence of the public, and a fur ther , tleclihe upon yesterday's prices of MeNiCgri Bonds has taken place, their value being reduced to about 47. This serious shock on the credit of the Mexi can Government cannot fail to operate most inju riously upon the future interests of all the New States of South America : and however faithfully Mexico may subsequently fulfil her engagements, still the effect of her having once failed in the punctual payment of the interest of her debt, will be as injurious to her interests as it is to her reputation. It appears to us, that putting the moral obli gation out of the question, it has been the height of folly and mismanagement in the New States of South America, to fail in the regular pay ments of their dividends. It ought to have been their first consideration, and accom plished by any sacrifice. Principle—and their own interest—equally urged it ; and we have no doubt that if they had done so, they would all have been able to effect the raising of other Loans, the want of which, we believe, to have been the prin cipal cause of. their recent retrograde state.— Had they had the command of sufficient capital to carry the early measures of their Governments into effect, they would speedily have risen to a situation which would have enabled them to pay their dividends without the aid of further Loans. As it is, they will never be able to raise other Loans, and the prospect of those who had in vested money in these securities is desperate. Accounts from Perpignan of the 4th inst. state that a vessel has arrived in six days, at Port Vendres, from the blockading squadron off Algiers, with dispatches for Toulon, and it is believed the French squadron employed in that service is to be augmented. The Times (New York Paper of the 20t11 August), gives the following intimation of the yellow fever existing in Charleston :—The Board of Health of Charles.. ton, in their bul!etin, Aug. 9, seven o'clock P.M. say, that three new cases of yellow fever have been reported by the attending Physicians. Aug. 10, seven o'clock, P.M. no new cases reported. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY) CITY, TIVELPE 0' CLOCK. Little attention has been paid to the British Secu rities this morning, the dealers having been more in terested in keeping a watchful eye on the state of the Foreign Funds ; Consols opened at 871 1 for account, and the only alteration since has been their trifling advance to 871 for account, and 871 for money ; India Bonds and Exchequer Bills both maintain their premium, the former being 93 5, the latter 59 60. The announcement of ficially made in the Morning Papers by the Charge d'Affaires of the Mexican Republic, M. Rocafuerte, that he finds himself under the ne cessity of informing the holders of the Public Stock of his Government, that, owing to some delay in the transmission of funds, arising, as he adds, from acci dental circumstances, he is not prepared to announce the payment of the dividend due on the let of the ensuing month, but requests them to rely upon the determination of that Government to support its credit by a faithful discharge of all its engagements. Thus, then, all the fears which were entertained by the timid and unbelieving, Lave been fully realised ; and, as this notice runs in the same form and lan guage as former intimations for the same purpose, from Colombia, Chili, Peru, Scc., it is not going too far to surmise that the like non-payment of future dividends is to be taken as the natural, or at least probable consequence ; and the distress which will fall on numbers, and particularly those who in vested their little all in this Stock, under the im pression of getting a better rate of interest, and re lied on the punctuality hitherto observed, will be of the most poignant nature, and must occasion great distress. This event has put a seal on the credit of all South American Loans, and is a complete death blow to any future transactions with these States in a pecuniary point of view; it may, however, be taken as a wholesome but severe lesson for John Bull. This fatal information caused the utmost gloom this morning, and although after the hour of business yesterday evening, they were done at 48 and 49, thi'm morning they went as low as 46; but after the rattle sprung at 47, giving credit to Mexico for honesty of intention, and, taking into consideration the means and resources of the country, the holders have begun to flatter themselves that all hope is not gone, and consequently the Bonds have got up to 49 i; whether this price will be maintain ed when the intelligence reaches the country and the continent, admits of some doubt. Another rea son given by those persons who are inclined to take a less desponding view of the question is, that the Mexican Government considered the balance due to them by the former agents as available for the pre sent difficulty. Indeed, we have had it hinted, that the amount of the dividend was offered from that quarter, but on terms which it could not be received. Brazilian, Buenos Ayres, Colombian, and all the South American Bonds, have, more or less, been affected by this state of affairs in Mexican, for the prices of which we take leave to refer to our list. The Continental Bonds do not seem to be much, if any, lower. Shares are without business : the most important interest which attends the Mexican Loans has superseded any transactions. Brazilian Mines are quoted a little lower, but if this arises from the meeting that took place yesterday, we do not see any good ground for the small decline, as the result ap peared most satisfactory.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.) John Powell, aged 23, was indicted for stealing, on the 30th of August, in the dwelling-hous e of his employers, Messrs. Sewell and Cross, four pieces of bombazeen and other articles, of the value of 106/. their property. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. (Before Mr. Justice GASELEE and Mr. Baron VAUQeAN.) James Charles Gunyon, aged 37, and Sophia his wife, aged 32, were capitally indicted, the latter for stealing, on the 19th of August last, in the dwelling.• house of Charles Crosby, one Bank-note of the value of 50/., three of ten, and four of 5/., the pro perty of Mary Anne Mason, and the former for receiv ing the same on the following day, knowing it to have been stolen. The female prisoner had a little child in her arms of about a year old. Mary Anne Mason, a single woman, a professor of the Calisthenic exercises, lodges at No. 2, George_ street, Hanover-square. In August last, on Sunday the 12th, went out at half-past three, leaving money in her bed-room to the amount of 500/. ; it consisted of fives, tens, twenties, and one 50/. note i n a pocket-book. The book was in a drawer which was locked. Witness left her servant in the house. The name of the servant was Margaret Simpson ; had not given her leave to go out ; found her in the house on return ing. Witness did not go to the drawer before she went to bed that night; went to bed at about half past ten o'clock. At one o'clock next morning was disturbed by a ringing at the bell, the house door bell ; she got out of bed, looked over the stairs, and called out, who was there ? Did not see any body, but the female prisoner answered; she was in the room where she usually slept; she said it was her husband, who had come to fetch the key of h er house. The female had been engaged as char woman in the house where witness lodged, and had liberty to sleep there, which she did that night. Did not know how far off the house of the prisoner was. Did not miss any of the property till the Saturday afterwards ; she was then going to take it to Drummond's bank. On going to the drawer found it locked. The notes had been left in parcels of 100/. each. The parcels were altered, and the money in question gone. Could not say what the dates or numbers of the notes were. Emma Margaretta Peel, servant of last witn ess , remembered her mistress going out on the 12th of August, about half-past three; witness went out at five, leaving the female prisoner only in the house; she returned at seven, and still found the female pri soner alone in the house; when witness went out, the bed-room door of her mistress was open ; had not seen the door after her mistress went out; went to bed at twelve that night; before going to bed the female prisoner told her that her husband was to return from Battersea home that night; saw the hus band next morning; lie breakfasted there, and went away at nine o'clock ; saw the male prisoner give his wife a shilling before he went away, adding that that was all he had. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—Miss Mason is the only person lodging in that house; she holds her school there; there was another servant at the time in the house. Miss Mason recalled and examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—Mre. Crosby keeps the house; never saw Mr. Crosby in the house since she went to lodge there, which was about a year ago ; Mr. Crosby is a house agent. Maiy Sidwell, a married woman, living at Hamp stead, and keeping a laundry, knew both the pri soners very well ; they called on witness on the 14th August ; they asked if witness had been in the coun try; she told them she was goingto St. Albans on the Saturday, and both of the prisoners said they should like to go very much; they had not been in the country for nine years ; the female prisoner came from St. Albans; the male prisoner said a friend had sent him some money, and that they would call again on witness next day; they came on the follow ing day and produced forty sovereigns; the male prisoner oit the purse with the gold into witness's hand ; the female took it back, put a ten pound note into it, and added, that that made 501. which witness was to keep for them. They remained till the evening; beard no thing more of them till Saturday morning when they came again and Mrs. Gunyon took five sovereigns from the purse. They and witness then went to St. Albans, and remained there till Monday, at eight o'clock in the morning. Witness went to meet them on the following evening at the Blue Posts, Tottenham-court-road : waited for them an hour, but they did not come ; then went to their lodgings in Monmouth-street, and found they had been taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—Has known the female prisoner all her lifetime; knew the hus band since his marriage ; never knew any thing bad of their characters. Henry Goddard an officer of Marlborough -street, heard of the robbery first on the 18th of August ; took the prisoners into custody at 68, Monmouth street, on the Monday following, at eleven in the evening; bad been there as early as eight o'clock, but did not find them. They told us we were welcome to search. Another officer was with me. Found no notes. Some bedding and wearing apparel were in the room ; asked them how they became possessed of them ? Mrs. G. said Mrs. Pearce, a sister of tier's at Clapham, had sent her a 51. note, with which she had bought them. The prisoners were then taken to the watchhouse.-- Went on the following day to Mrs. Sidwell and got from her 35 sovereigns and a 10/. note. went afterwards to the prisoners ; told them that they need answer no questions, unless they pleased. Told the male prisoner that Mrs. Sidwell had de livered up the money. He said his wife had brought it to hint on the Monday morning. Witness asked him what he had done with the 501. note; he said he had sold it to a Mr. Ackland, Wellclose-square, for 40 sovereigns. Saw the female prisoner after wards, who said she had taken the money ; that she had changed a 101. note in Monmouth -street, ano ther 10/. at Waterloo-house, and a five in Oxford street. She said the whole she had taken was 85/., and that she thought the 50/. was a Si. at the time. Wm. Ballard, the other officer, corroborated !the above testimony. Witness went with last witness of his own accord, to interrogate the prisoners while in custody. The paper now produced was signed in the presence of witness, which contained a confes sion of the robbery by them, taken down by the Magistrate, when last examined at the Police-office. Before the paper was signed by the prisoners, witness had related all they had confessed to him to the Magistrate, and the prisoners were told they might either sign or not as they pleased. Mr. Justice GAZEI.EE summed up, and the Jury found both the prisoners " Guilty." The prosecutrix recommended them both to mercy on the ground of having five children, and having been in very great distress. NEW COURT, (Before the COMNION SERGEANT.) Illar . y Spencer, aged 23, was convicted of steal ing a quantity of bedding, the property of William Conway. She had taken furnished lodgings at the prosecutor's house, and had stolen the articles from her room. ' John Brady was convicted of stealing a pocket hankerchief, from Joseph Martindale. Sarah Jacobs, aged 18, was indicted for stealing, on the 2d of August, twenty sovereigns and eight 51. notes, from the person of John Thompson, at Shad well. The prosecutor was a seaman, and met with the pi isoner and several other Cyprians in a public-house, at nine at night, and on going out was followed by the prisoner and another girl. When in the street, the prisoner put her hand i(qc) prosecutor's boSom, where he had his money, between his shirt and his frock, not having a jacket on, and after getting hold of the money, ran off. He was rather drunk, and on calling out that lie was ribbed, a nigp seized him and gave him a violent drive into the road, and ran off in the same direction as the prisoner. Several witnesses for the prosecution, however, stated that the prosecutor was very drunk ; that he was flourishing his money about in the midst of a crowd of people; and the landl or d o f t h e h ouse , proved that tne prisoner was not there after six o'clock, when he turned her out. When taken, she denied having any money, and all knowledge of the robbery; but the officer found six sovereigns at her lodgings, which she said that a young man, then at sea, had given to her. The man who pushed Thomp son has not been taken.—The Jury found her Guilty. sHIPPI TELLIGENCE—(F HIS DAY.) :A4 FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, SEPT.

MARY WITTENBACK. This miserable woman was removed from the Court to the condemned cell, and her hysteric screams resounded throughout that part of the prison. Mr. Baker of the Tower, who devotes much of his time in preparing the condemned persons in Newgata for death, was in the cell with her, and tendered his humane advice, which, however, the unhappy woman appeared altogether to disregard, being so completely bewildered, that she appeared unconscious of any thing, and clung in an agitated manner to the matron and one or two female attendants. The Rev. Ordinary, Mr. Cotton, in about half an hour after, gent to her, and pointed out the utter absence of the least chance of escape. . _ Mrs. Wittenback, upon recovering from the hysterics, because more composed, but was so excessively feeble, that the attendant placed her upon the bed which the apart ment afforded. She then declared she deserved to die, and was anxious to employ the remainder of time in prayer, and requested some of the persons present would occa sionally read prayers to her. The Ordinary last night upon taking his leave, pressed her as to the motive she could have for destroying her husband. She shook her head, and bursting into tears, assigned as a motive, that it was jealousy—and said she would make a full confession in the morning. At a very early hour, the Ordinary and Mr. Baker were in her cell, and she joined fervently in prayers, after which else made a confession the purport of which was, that she had lived very unhappily with her husband for some time before his death, suspecting him of intriguing with other women. This preyed upon her mind, until she fancied that her suspicions were fully grounded. :She then, maddened with jealous rage, resolved upon revenge. The thought occupied her mind for two months before sh e hi t upon the method ; and, at length, prompted by the d ev il , she resolved to infuse poison in the flour with whi c h s h e composed the dumpling. She purchased this poison de signedly above two miles from her home, saying to the chemist she wished to destroy rats ; she bought three-pen ce worth, and kept it concealed for a week in her room be fore she so fatally put it into use. On that day she made a dumpling of suet and flour, and mixed the deadly mine ral with the ingredients. Her husband came hom e t o hi s dinner; he was in unusually good spirits, and a dd resse d her very affectionately. She then says, she for a moment relented : but the horrid thought that he was only dissem bling flashed across her mind, and steeled her purpose.— She placed the poisoned food upon the table, and her hus band partook very heartily, consuming nearly two-thirds of the dumpling-. lie was suddenly seized with a violent anausea, and fell back in Isis chair, the perspiration burst ing from every pore. He exclaimed " Oh, my God, what a cramp I have got in my stomach !" Ile then got up and became sick. The rest of his dreadful sufferings are already known. She says she ate the remainder of the pudding, with the hope that it would prove fatal to herself, 80 horror-stricken was she at the excruciating pains the poison hail brought upon her hapless husband.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 14.—0 n Weduesday af ternoon, at half-past three o'clock, the KING, accompa riled by the Lord Steward, left the Royal Lodge in a c!sase carriage, drawn by f o ur of the road-horses, 4drove by two postillions in the Royal Livery, preceded by the fo rester in green, with two ouf-riders. On leaving the Royal Lodge they proceeded through the New Plantation . , the Long Walk, and the new line of road leading to the Castle. O n entering the Qsadrangle the KING was met by Mr. WvAT Tv irrE, who had pr ev i ous notice of his MA stsTY's visit. The KING alighted from his carriage and as cended the grand staircase leading to his suite of apart ments. The whole o f his MAJESTY'S suite passed through minutely inspecting the progress made in painting, paper ing, and gilding. After passing upward; of an hour, hip sa me rontc, to the Royal Lodge. MAnsry again entered his carriage ,- ,nd returned by the Sir GEORGE SIIEE, Bart., entertained about 400 of his happy tenantry with a beautiful dinner on ;he 10th inst. in front of his mansion, at Dunmnre, Ireland ; au ample supply of strong ale, and re :11 Irish whiskey, was vousututa upon th joyQti Occasion. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(TMIS DAY.) SIR GREGOR MACGREGOR. On the motion of Mr. ALLEY, Sir Gregor Mac gregor was brought into Court, for the purpose of having articles of the peace exhibited against him. His Highness appeared not to have suffered much by his incarceration. The articles of the peace which were sworn to by Francis Spong, a Lieutenant in the Artillery Waggon Train, and by Fagan, a Bow-street officer, set forth, that the exhibitant, Francis Spong, was married in 1812 to Mary Anne Eden, a lady of large property, the entire of which was settled on her; that from the time of his marriage until her recent departure, he and his wife lived together in great happiness, he being (as he verily believed) solely and er•irely possessed of her affection ; that in 1823 his m. -.d be came greatly distressed'on discovering that r,i indivi dual was industriously hankering after her, a:..1 endea vouring to intrude himself in a clandestine manner into her company ; that he subsequently ascertained the individual in question to be George Gregor Macgregor, a General in the service of the Colom bian Government. That this unpleasant affair had been almost forgotten, no further intrusion having taken place, until the sth August, when the exhibi tant's peace of mind was destroyed by the fact of his wife's having been induced to elope with Sir Gregor Macgregor from her friends at West Cowes,with whom she was then on a visit. The exhibitant having left there two days before. That Mrs. Spong, in consequence of her expressing great remorse for her conduct, was placed in a comfortable asylum by her brothers, in the hope of rescuing her from a life of continued disgrace. That on the 21th of August, whilst exhibitant and Charles Eden, his wife's bro ther, were walking in Wigmore-street, Cavendish square, they saw Sir Gregor Macgregor forcing his way into the house in which Mrs. Spong was placed. That the landlord resisted, and that .they finally succeeding in lodging Macgre gor in the watch-house, from which he was suf fered to depart on giving bail to ma k e his appear ance at the police office on the following morning, which however he neglected doing, and thereby forfeited his bail. The articles then set forth the threatening letter sent to the exhibitant, and also the other matters which have already appeared be fore the public. Mr. Spong, in conclusion, denied his ever using to Mr. Mocatta the expressions attri buted to him, or having everuttered to that gentleman any thing injurious to the character of Macgregor. Mr. ALLEY, in support of the articles, commented in strong terms on the conduct of Macgregor, in having, in the first instance, seduced the exhibitant's wife, and then inventing a gross falsehood for the purpose of fastening a quarrel on the injured hus band. Not content with the usual manner of ma naging such matters, he actually sent the challenge, enclosed in a letter to Mr. Eden, the lady's brother. The Learned Gentleman concluded with reading a passage from the articles, in which Mr. Spong swears that he believes the object of Macgregor to be, to take away the exhibitant's life, in order that he may get the lady. Mr. BR6DERICK then addressed the Court on the part of Sir Gregor, who, he assured them, was in stigated to write the letter by the foul imputations cast on him of having seduced Mrs. Spong. That lady was now living again with her husband, who, from the course pursued by him, need not dread any further the resentment of Sir Gregor. The Learned Gentleman adverted to the amount of the bail re quired by the Magistrates at the Police-office, name ly, two sureties of 1000/. each, and Sir Gregor's own recognizance for 2000/. This was clearly most ex cessive bail, it had already subjected Sir Gregor to three weeks' incarceration among persons accused of felony, and would, if still required, condemn him to imprisonment for life. Mr. ALLEY replied. The CHAIRIUAN . , after going through the facts as set forth in the articles, thought; Sir G. Macgregor ought to be admitted to bail on entering into recognizances, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 2501. each, to keep the peace towards Mr. Spong, and all other of his Majesty's subjects. It was requested that the name of Mrs. Spang should be included in the recognizance, but the court thought it would be unnecessary, as she was one of his Majesty's subjects. The names of Thomas Browning, proprietor of the New Inn, Old Bailey, and of Charles Griffin, 48, Skinner-street, in the City of London, perfumer, were given in as the sureties. They were directed to attend on Monday, in order that time might be afforded to enquire as to their solvency. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

DONCASTER MEETING, DONCASTER. THURSDAY slaw. For many years peat there have not been such good grounds for expecting a fall and fashionable meeting as on the present oecasion. Although year after year has passed over the unsuccessful attempts of the southern sportsmen to wrest the St. Leger from the grasp of their northern rivals, the spirit of emulation continues undiminished. Never had they better prospecta than for next week's St. Leger, for which their famous Epsom horse Mamelake is so great a favourite. Some insist that Matilda and Lunaria are not competent to the distance, and that Zs race will be made by Mameluke, Medoro, Granby, and another. or two. Reviewer's party are very sweet upon him ; he took a sweat this morning, and perforated well. If he can be got to start he is sure to win (at least so say his backers.) Odds are taken that he gets to six to one be fore the day. A report is in *simulation that Nonplus will start, if so, he must get up in the odds. Another report, having for its author a boy lately discharged from the stables of Mr. Scott, who trains foe the Hon. E. Petre, states, that Matilda has been tried at all weighty and dis tanees, and can beat the rot of the stable easy. Some anxiety was felt the beginning of the week, as to whether kfameluke would come or not ; but, on Wednesday, all doubt was removed by his arrival, in excellent eondition, having every appearance to justify the high aheraeter given of him, He certainly diesipatee a doubt we once heard expressed about his wind. Beta are making that twenty six will start, others, that there will not be thirty-flve Leger horses here; and, as great anxiety must naturally be felt in town on this point, we have taken the trouble to collect the following list of those horses which bays ar rived up to this evening Duke of Leeds's Moonshine Duke of Leeds's b f Lunaria Duke of Leeds's b c Moth, by Blacklook Duke of Leeds's b c by Whisker, dam by Trophonius Lord Scarbrough's b c Brother to Pasta Lord Searbrough'e br • by Comus.--Byriun's dam Lord Scarbrough's b f Sister to Tarrare Mr. Riddell's eb a Hartpury, by Abjer Hon.

Byng's Pedlar. After the Si. Leger the most interesting rae wiii be for the Gold Cup, for which the entries are not Tat made; we believe that, besides some others, the Viewing famous horses will start for it :—bfetnnon, flint de Lis, Actmaii, Longwaist, and Tarrare—the tyro first the favourites. This raw will derive additiov:a interest from the flat of the first three having run for the St. Leger of 1825, when. Fleur de Lis was Inor3led down. The entries for the week are not yet QV:, but their value at present is about 10,0001. The betting has not beau very brisk, and vra can only quote tl:e following to 2 agst Maraeluke, 4i to 1 apt Granby, 10 to 1 agst Matilda, 11 to 1 agst Medora, 11 to 1 apt Reviewer; all the rest as before.
