INSOLVENTS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Joseph Wilks, a wheelwright, at Lowden, Edward Witham, a grocer and cheesemonger at Hythe, and Mary Browne, whose petitions were unopposed, were ordered to be discharged. William Inglesant was brought up on his petition to be discharged. This case had previously been before Mr. Commissioner Bowen. Mr. COOKIE, who appeared for the insolvent, stated that on his previous examination he was opposed by a Mr. Rogers, of Leicester. It came out in evidence on that occasion, that two persons, of the name of Tool and Fiat, were appointed trustees of a deed fur the sale of a certain part of the insolvent's pro perty, which fetched upwards of 491. Mr. Tool not being present at the first examination, the case was ordered to stand over, in order that he might be examined. The result of that examination was, that 491. 15s. Bd. was ordered to be paid into Court. Tool was nit prepared to pay the money, and the assignee, after several ineffectual attempts to obtain'payment from Tool, commenced proceed. ings against the other trustee, Fiat, who gave a promissory note for the amount, which was now in the possession of the assignee, who was not desirous to oppose the discharge of the insolvent, provided he would give him all the assistance in his power to compel his sister to quit a house sbe now occupied. The Learned Counsel, while he admitted that it was the duty of every insolvent to render such assistance to his assignee as was in his power, was afraid that it could not be done in the instance referred to, inasmuch as the insolvent's sister con tended the house was her own property, and if such was the case, the only legal mode to dispossess her of it was by the assignees bringing an action of ejectment. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, it was the interest of the insolvent to render all the assistance in his power to his assignee, which he had no doubt the insolvent would do. As, however, the matter had been before Mr. Com missioner Bower previously, he should not feel himself justified in disposing of the case till he had read over that Learned Judge's notes, which he would do between this and Friday, on which day the insolvent was ordered to be brought up again.

A mail has arrived from Malta by the Firefly, sailed on the 20th August, Gibraltar Bth September, and Cadiz 9th September. Newfoundland papers to the 23d of August have been received at the North and South American Coffeehouse. (From the above papers. ) The General Assembly was prorogued by his Excellency the Governor, on Thursday last, with the following speech— " Mr. President, and Gentlemen of his Majesty's Council, " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly, " I am happy to have it in my power to release you from your Parliamentary duties, which, from various circumstances, have been extended to a period which I fear must have proved inconvenient to you, and to which you have devoted yourselves with a zeal and attention which cannot but reflect much credit upon you, and con vey to the people an assurance that their Representatives have been anxious to fulfil the part confided in them. " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assem bly—lt is satisfactory to think that the question as to your powers to levy local duties is now finally set at rest, and I thank you for the promptitude with which you have devoted your attention to the improvement of the Revenue ; and I will not omit the opportunity to reiterate the sense I entertain of the anxiety you evinced to obviate any inconvenience that might arise from the loss of the Revenue Bill, in placing the growing duties at my disposal, and I trust you will not upon this or any other occasion find reason to regret the confidence you have placed in me." The Assembly was then prorouged until Friday, the Ist day of November next. TILE FUNDS. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 88 for the Account, with little business doing as yet. The great excitement for direct arrivals from Portugal still continues, but by the estafette from Paris this morn ing, a telegraphic despatch is said to have been received from Biyonne, stating that Bourmont made an attack on Lisbon on the sth instant, which was repulsed and from that period to the Bth inst. each of the armies maintained their former positions, but General Bourmont was preparing to make another attack on the Capital. This information is rather doubted in the City, as it is well known that Government have a steamer waiting at Lisbon to bring over any important event that might occur, and the wind being favourable for these three days past, it is the general opinion she, or any other vessel, would, ere this, have arrived, with such an important event as the attack upon Lisbon. But it cannot be long before an arrival takes place, when all incertitude will be put at rest. Portuguese Scrip done at 20 prem. Nothing doing in any other Foreign Funds as yet. HALF. P.A S T ONE. We are still without any direct arrivals from Portugal up to the present hour in the city. Consols which were in the early part of the day at BSi for the Account, have receded to BSI, caused by a large sale in that stock. Portuguese Scrip has also receded to 19i to 20 prem. We have no reports or any news. We have an arrival from Bombay a few days later, but we do not hear of any news. THREE O'CLOCK.

The Dorothy, Captain Garnock, sailed from this port on the 30th of April, and nothing material occurred until the end of June, when she became rather leaky. On Thursday, the 4th of July, she experienced fresh gales from the westward, with squally weather, when she became more leaky ; and in the course of the morning, on sounding the pump, twenty.six inches were found in the well. From this time both pumps were kept working without intermission, with the main.topsail close reefed anci hauled by the wind ; ship's head to the northward, being then (at noon) in latitude 28 50. south, longitude 21 W. From noon to six o'clock working both pump s without intermission ; half the ship's company taking half an hour's spell at a time ; leak increasing, the water in the hold being nearly up to the upper part of the keelson at six. At ten p. In. the water in the hold about two feet above the keelson, both pumps constantly working. At this time some hands were set to clear away the long boat, and the carpenter to cut away the starboard stan chions on the main deck. At midnight the water in the hold was about four feet above the keelson, with both pumps continually going ; the spell off the pumps doing the extra duty. It then became clear to Captain Garnock there was no chance of saving the ship ; and in consequence, about one a. in. of Friday, July 5, the long boat was got out by launching her over the gunwale, the stanchions bring cut away. The empty puncheons were put into the boat, which they succeeded in nearly filling with fresh water. Three barrels and two bags of bread were stowed in the boat, together with three top-gallant studding sails, some cordage, and a few small stores. A jolly-boat was also launched ; and about three a. en., all hands (25 souls) got into the two boast, hanging by the ship astern, waiting for daylight. At this time the water in the ship's hold was washing over the iron stowed in the main hatch, being about six het below the beams; the ship filling fast, and straining heavily. The small boat was sent for a compass and some cordage, the water in the ship's hold being then up to her beams. As there was then no doubt that she must shortly go down, the boats cast off from her about eight, a. m., and stood to the northward ; Mr. Hughes, second mate, and five seamen, in the small boat; Captain Garnock, Mr. Smith, mate, and 17 hands, in the long boat. At noon the ship was in sight, bearing S.S.E., distant about three miles, the boats being then, by observation, in lat. 28. 21. south, and long. 21. 00. west. About one p. nt., the the Dorothy disappeared altogether, having gone down in lat. 28. 24. south, and long. 21. 00. west. After remaining twenty days and ❑ineteen nights in their boats, and running 1,311 miles from the spot where the Dorothy went down, on Wednesday, July 24, they care in sight of the American ship the Charles Adams, Capt. A. S. Palmer, of and for Stonington, which took them on board, where they received every kindness and attention. On the 28th this ship entered the harbour of Pernambuco, at which place all the crew of the lost ship, with the ex ception of five men, who staid on board the Charles Adams, were safely put on shore. The Dean of CHESTER, preceptor to the Princess VICTORIA, has arrived at Norris Cistle to resume his attendance on his illustrious pupil. ELECTIONEERING.—C.

NEW NOVEL—LA COQUETTERIE, OR SKETCHES OF SOCIETY IN FRANCE AND HE LG These entertaining volumes should be read by all those who wish to have an insight into fashionable life abroad. Unlike most of the present novels, the moral is excellent ; and in the words of one of our first literary reviews " we recommend this work as most clever, and one in which society is portrayed with a grace, spirit, and elegance, as entertaining as it is instructive." From its just delinea tion of society in Belgium, it has been purchased by a high diplomatic character, and presented to King Leopold. MUNIFICENT BEQUEST.—The late Mr. John Graves, hide and skin salesman, has bequeat bed to the Butchers' Charitable Institution, for affording relief to decayed master butchers, their widows and orphans, founded in the year 1828, the munificent sum of 5,0001. sterling towards building almshouses. ./Th _ _ VALEDICTORY ADDRESS TO THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND. " The departure of his Royal Highness the puke of Cumber land for the Continent is producing great—curiosity, we believe we must call the word. We are not aware that much political interest, at least English political interest, is attached to this cir ciunstance."—Times of this Morning. Blessings go with thee, thou bark, Bearing o'er the billows dark, Holier freight than Noah's ark, Bearing to a foreign strand Our unspotted Cumberland; He who is, as all agree, " Illustrious by courtesy;" Tho' too apt to gallop over — Like a gay and giddy rover, Full of youthful pluck and pith— Gentle dames at Hammersmith,* Thus proving (what we sometimes find), That in men of princely kind, Courtesy, like love, is blind. What a shock to Britain's heat t, To see this " sweet young prince" depart, Unsaluted, unbemoaned, Like a monarch just dethroned ! The Post, no more his fierce applauder, The Age, without a mourning border, The Standard, grave and still as folks In the House when Inglis jokes, The Albion, sulky as the Peers When Newcastle threats their ears, And the Club where oft he prosed, Without a single shutter closed ! How is this, ye Tory wives ? How is this, Conservatives? Shame, oh Lyndhurst ! Kenyon, fie! Clap an onion to thine eye ; Southey, quit the realms of bathos And betake thee, quick, to pathos ; Adonis Ellenborough, spread Ashes on thy glossy head, (Head as gay as a new pin, Trim without and thick within ;) Eldon, hatch some prolix story, How the star of Britain's glory, Left this poor, benighted land The same hour with Cumberland. What, not one tear, not one sigh ? No lament, no elegy ? Thankless Tories ! then must I, For lack of some more gifted hand, Sing thy farewell, Cumberland. Farewell ! Thou wert always humble, Never prone to slip or stumble; Firm to guard the people's right, And, of course, their favourite. Thine was not the intriguer's art, Thou ne'er mad'st a father smart, Never broke a husband's heart, Nor like churchyard goul that raves t At midnight, wantoned with the— GRAvEs ! On thy brow and in thine eye Sate enthroned true majesty; And thy lip, devoid of guile, Ever wore a hallowed smile, Reflected from the soul within, Spotless soul, that knew no sin. larewell! our astonished shore Never saw thy like before, And (I think 'tis very plain) Ne'er will see thy like again ! * The Miss Perfects, to wit. t Vide the story in the Arabian Nights, of the gout that was in the nightly habit of raving about the church-yards, and com mitting sad depredations among the graves. THE EARL OF DURHAM'S FETE. COWES, SEPT. 15.—The Earl of Durham's grand fete took place yesterday. The weather was propitious.

On the Earl of Durham proposing their Royal Highnesses' health, a royal salute was fired from the Louisa, Falcon, ll'aterwilch, and several other yachts ; after which their Royal High nesses went afloat to witness Bryer's descent, who anchored his vessel off Egypt in about 10 fathoms waters. He was under water nearly 20 minutes, and his feats excited much interest. On the royal party returning to Egypt House, glancing commenced ; the Princess Victoria danced several quadrilles and a country dance, in which Lady Emily Lambton was her Royal Highness's partner. Next followed a grand display of fireworks i❑ the grounds of Egypt House and afterwards from the Vice-Commodore the Earl of Belfast's TVaterwitch, Henry Thorold, Esq.'s Coquette, Captain Lyon's Blue-Eyed Maid, Captain G. Pecbell's Emily, &c. The royal party then left for Norris Castle. Lady MARY Fox has arrived on a visit to her sister, the Countess of ERROL. Lord ERROL has recently occupied himself with drawing out plans for the re -construction of the ancient chapel at Stains Castle, his Lordship's patrimonial seat in Aberdeensire, where school houses are also about to be established, by the direction of the Earl. The Earl of UXBRIDGE, and his newly married Countess (late Miss BAGOTT), are spending the honeymoon at the Marquis ofAtioLEsEv's delightful villa, Cowes Cistle. Prince ESTERHAZY left Pansanger yesterday for Doncaster races. The Netherlands Steam-boat Company's ship Batavia, D. DUNLOP, Commander, left her moorings for Rotterd tin, on Sunday, at noon. Amongst her passengers were Prince P. Van SOLTYKOFF and family ; Baron VElt- STOLE:, the Amb is:ador Extraordinary frwn the Hague ; Baron GUILLIAME BE NEUFFEN, nephew to the King of WURTEMBERG, &C. POETRY IN WHlST.—Since the days of Harry VIII., and perhaps long before, the favoured suit, in games of skill, as cards, originally called triumph (triumphe, trionfo), has been vulgarised into trumps. Moliere's Bcurgeois Gentilhomme was delighted to find that he had been speaking prose all his life without kncwing it: and many of our whist players may be equally pleased with the idea that they have been, many of them quite as unconsciously thinking poetry In the wind up of a well contested and hard run game, perhaps scarcely any among them, except his very Serene Highness Prince Talleyrand, car► lay down the final triumph card without suiting, not the action to the word (since speech would he treason against Hoyle), but the look to the action.—Literary Gazette. NEW NATIONAL G A LLERY.—Yesterday the carpenters commenced erecting a paling to inclose that part of Trafalgar square, wLich is to be ornamented with a shrubbery and fountain, according to the plan of the architect. A quantity of earth has been conveyed to the square, and is now levelled, preparatory to the intended plantations ; and labourers were engaged in removing the rubbish from the ground where the National Gallery and Royal Academy are to be erected. It is not very often that what the poet calls "apt illustration's artful aid" is resorted to in a sober dissertation. Mr. Farren, however, in his able pamphlet against Joint Stock Banks, thus sums up the reasons against them—that they will produce "agitation, speculation, litigation, and anything but reparation or consolation." THE LATE Mn. RICHTER.—The widow of this deceased patriot is now an inmate of the workhouse at Islington, from which parish she has for some time past been receiving relief. Mrs. RICHTER is a woman of edu cation, but from age and bodily infirmities, is utterly in capable of exerting herself to obtain a livelihood. JOHN NICHoLLS Tom, ALIAS SIRWILLIAM COURTENAY.--A correspondent of the Kent Herald writes from Maidstone, that Sir William Courtenay posi tively refuses to admit that be is John Nicholls Tom, or that he is insane, and that there are still some who doubt, or affect to doubt, the testimony of his wife, who lived with him thirteen years, and of Mr. Hugo, who was well ac quainted with him a much longer time, as to his identity. His wife is in constant attendance on him, and it is probably owing to her care and knowledge of his milady that he has not starved himself to death. She calls him Sir William, listens with apparent reverence to all his religious rhapsodies, and in that way prevails on him to eat and drink. The medical men who have visited hint are perfectly satisfied with his wife's identification of him, and will give certificates of his insanity to be laid before the Home Secretary. He contiuues weak from the starving process he bas undergone. ~_ ~ , SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES, DONCASTER, SUNDAY NIGHT. As the Great St. Leger absorbs nearly the interest of the meeting, it may not be amiss to enable our readers to calculate the chances of the respective favourites, by taking a short review of their performances :—First in the list stands Muley Moloch, the property of the Duke of Cleveland, and trained in one of the most experienced stables in the North. He was purchased at Mr. Nowell's sale in 1831 ; for something under 200 guineas, and came out in the next York Spring Meeting, with a lot of bad horses. Being far below his right form at the time, he cut a sorry figure in the race, which was ivon by a colt of Sir E. Dodsworth's, Lady of the Vale's dam, the price of which, at this time, would he extravagantly stated at 50 guineas. At Doncaster Muley Moloch, still short of work and condition, won the Champagne Stakes cleverly, beating Belshazzar and six others. After this he took a prominent station in the betting on the Derby, and was backed to a large amount; the Noble Duke, however, preferred the certainty of the York Derby, won it accordinely, beating wretched cattle (Satan and Deceiver amongst them) in a common canter, and left the public to pay dearly for their folly in backing a North country horse for a South country stake, without first ascertaining the intentions of the owner—to be sure this intention was declared somewhat late in the day, the effect of which was unfavourable to speculation. Of the North country lot Belshazzar's running claims the second notice : he won the Two-year Old Stakes at the York August Meeting, beating Tesane, Partner, and several others, rather cleverly ; the field had no. thing to recommend it beyond its numerical strength. At Doncaster he ran a good second to Muley Moloch, and in the same meeting won the Twenty Sovereign Stakes cleverly, beating Deceiver (then called Frankenstein,) Rockingham, sod several others. In the last York Spring Meeting he was defeated by Anne, after a terrible rice. It was obvious, however, that the mare's success was chiefly attributable to the jockey. On the following day he beat Charmer and three others in a canter. In the August Mf.eting he won the Thirty Sovereign Stakes easily, beating Boscobel, Despot, &c. It will be collected from the above, that, when beaten, it was not without difficulty, and that his more successful races were won cleverly ; but his triumphs were over a bad sort. In the same stable is Rockingham, purchased after the race at Doncaster for 1,000 guineas; since then he has once only exhibited himself in public—of course he won, for nothing with the usual complement of legs could be secondary to to Sir E. Dodsworth's colt. To two or three engage ments of apparent certainty, even to a third-rater, he paid forfeit. The question, therefore, is which of the two is best, Belshazzar or Rockingham ? or putting the question in another chap which do they think to win with ? This will only be gathered from the race itself, for the public have been sufficiently mysterious to prevent the parties acquiring the information in any other way. Mr. Walker's lot is composed of Mussulman and Anne. The filly ran second to Sir E. Dodsivorth's colt last year, and has the dubious merit of having stolen a race from Bel shazzar. There is no great promise in this running, but it is infinitely more to be relied on than that of her compa nion, who tried to win the 2,000 Guineas Stakes in a canter, came in last. The Scotts say that he sulked, and probably this was the case ; nevertheless he is just as likely to sulk at Doncaster as at Newmarket. Being in a fancy stable and backed by influential parties, he still commands a good deal of attention, and, if his temper will serve him on the occasion, may for a won der, justify the extravagant reports of his doings in private. All that we have said respecting this colt will apply to the Tutor with this addendum, that the latter will have the advantage of Robinson's jockeyship. Re venge, under the disadvantages of bad training and bad condition, ran a formidable horse for the Derby—with the aid of professional management he won the Drawing room Stakes cleverly, beating Cactus, Young Rapid, Tre pidation, &c., the distance two miles and a half; he was also a winner at Ascot last year, and at Stockbridge this. He will be a dangerous horse to stand against if he come well to the post. The Mole has never yet been beaten ; he has been out twice this season, beating Jack Faucit, Controller, Eve, &c., and was a winner last year. lie is of the Little Red Rover sort, small, compact, and stout, as well in form as in blood ; he has been backed to large amounts by some of the best judges on the turf. Jack ' Fancies pretensions are of a negative character. Forester is going well, and will run forward if the pace be slow. Deceiver's chance may be collected from our remarks on others. We fear that the change in his name is perfectly consonant with his merits. Connoisseur seems to be alto gether out of force, or the place he obtained for the Derby would entitle him to some consideration. To conclude, we should say that Muley Moloch, Belshazzar, Revenge, and The Mole are most deserving of support. The following is a complete list of the horses arrived : St. Leger Horses—Mr. Houldsworth's Titus ; Mr. Houldsworth's Despot ; Duke of Cleveland's Muley Moloch ; Lord Kelburne's Sister to Retainer ; Mr. Osbal deston's Tutor; Mr. Watt's Belshazzar; Mr. Watts's Rockingham ; Mr. Hunter's Forester ; Mr. Barrow's Alecto filly; Sir R.

RAMMOHUN ROY. We understand that this celebrated and interesting man is now on a visit at Stapleton Grove, near this city. He is the first recorded instance of a conversion to Christianity from the Brahminicat faith. He makes a point, we un derstand, of regularly attending Christian worship. He worshipped, last Sunday miming, with th e congregat i on assembling in Lewin's Mead Chapel, whose sentiments are supposed to be more akin to those of the Rajah than those of any other religious sect. The following testimony to the talents and virtues of this great Indian reformer, was borne so long ago as ISI9, by Lieutenant -Colonel Fitzclarence, in his Journal of a route across India, &c.:— " I became well acquainted with him, and admire his talents and acquiremeuts. His eloquence in our language is very great, and, I am told, he is still more admirable in Arabic and Persian. It is remarkable, that he has studied and thoroughly understands the politics of Europe, but m ,re particularly those of England ; and the last time was in his company, he argued forcibly against a standing army in a free country, and quoted all the arguments brought forward by the members of the opposition. I think that he is, in many respects, a most extraordinary person. In the first place, he is a religious reformer, who has, amongst a people more bigotted than those of Europe in the middle ages, dared to think for himself. His learning is most extensive, as he is not only conver sant with the best books in English, Arabic, Sanserit, Bengalee, and Hindostanee, but has even studied rhetoric in Arabic and English, and quotes Locke and Bacon on all occasions. From the view be thus takes of the religions, manners, and customs of so many nations, and from his having observed the number of different modes of addressing and worshipping the Supreme Being, he naturally turned to his own faith with an unprejudiced mind, found it perverted with the religion of the Vedas to a gross idolatry, and was not afraid, though aware of the consequences, to publish to the world, in Bengalee and English, his feelings and opinions on the subjoct. Of course he was fully prepared to meet the host of interested enemies who, from sordid motives, wished to keep the lower classes in a state of the darkest ignorance. I have understood that his family have quitted him—that be has been declared to have lost caste—and is for the present, as all religious reformers must be for a time, a mark to be scoffed at. To a man of his sentiments and rank, this loss of caste must be particularly painful, bat at Calcutta he associates with the English. He is, however, cut off from all familiar and domestic intercourse; indeed, from, all communication, of any kind, with his relations arid former friends. His name is Ramtnobun Roy. He is particularly handsome, not of a very dark complexion, of a fine person, and most courtly manners. He professes IL) objection to eat and live as we do, but refrains from it, in order not to expose himself to the imputation of having changed his religion for the good things of this world. He will sit at table with us while the meat is on it, which so other Brahmin will do. He continues his nr,tive dress, but keeps a carriage, being a man of some property. He is very desirous to visit England, and enter into one of our universities, where I shall be most anxious to see him and to learn his ideas of our country, its manners, and eustoms.—Rri.ioi Mercury. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—The following account of the wreck of a gentleman's yacht in the bay of Cardigan, on the night of Friday, the 30th of August, is extracted from the letter of a correspondent at Aberystwitb, dated Sept. 7:—" Mr. Hargrave, a mei chant (If Dublin, with his wife, five children, an establishment of servants, and the usual complement of sailors, had been for some time enjoying an aquatic tour in St. George's Channel, in an excellent sailing vessel of about 70 tons burden.
