Several buildings have been burnt in the parish of St. Stevens, on the British sidt of the river ; others were saved with great difficulty. From Calais to Eastport, abodt a fortnight since, the vessel our informant took passage in was entirely enveloped in smoke. Prom the Devil's Head great damage has been d one to grain, fences, timber, bark, &c. The fire in various places has been burning for six weeks. There had not been rain enough for eight weeks to wet the ground ; the crops of potatoes, it was expected, would be entirely cut off. S VANN Air, SEPT. 1.

His MAJESTY, we understand, not long before his departure for llanover, sat four times to Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE for a Portrait. This pic ture, we hope, will grace the Exhibition which this great Artist is expected to bring forward, consisting of portraits of the Continental Sove reigns, and of the most distinguished characters whose valour and whose counsels contributed to the deliverance of Europe. Such an Exhibition will be highly honourable to the political cha racter, as well as to the Arts, of this country, as Britain so eminently contributed to that glorious atchievement, and as it can boast of an Artist who has deservedly obtained the highest profes sional reputation. A meeiing of the inh ibitants and visitors of Itamsgate was held on Friday, at which it was resolved that some lasting testimonial, to perpe.: tuate the KING'S gracious condescension in visit ing that town, be erected, and, that a subscrip tion be entered into for that purpose. It was also resolved that the Committee for carrying these resolutions into effect, do consist of the Gentlemen who had the honour to present the Address to his 'MAJESTY. The following unfeeling paragraph appears in THE DuR 'TAAL CHRONICLE of last week " We understand that Mr. Richard Wharton, late Member for this City and C a ndid a t e f or t h e C ounty, is at Italy, linger ing out an existence enfeebled by ill health, and embittered - by the mortifying consciousness that lie is alike forgotten by friends and foes—a melancholy example of defeated ambition seeking importance on the side of unprincipled power." If Mr. 'Wharton is really in the enfeebled state which is here represented—how unmanly—how savage must be the disposi tion of that writer who can thus exult over his infirmities.— Mr. Lambton, we remember, charged Minister s with a wan t o f generosity to a vanquished enemy, because they detained Duo naparee at St. Helena—a measure which the peace of Europe re quired ; yet we find the Amanuensis of this same Mr. Lambton cruelly exulting over the bodily infirmities of that Gentleman's unsuccessful political opponent. We need not say more than remind our readers, that Mr. Wharton's ill health was occa sioned by his unremitting exertions in the performance of ar duous public duties.—(Durham County Advertizer, Sept. 2ll.) INTENDED IMPROVEMENTS AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—The ancient marble altar, which was erected in this noble edifice in the reign of 'HENRY 111. but was taken down in order to fa cilitate the Coronation Ceremony, will not be again put up. Its place will be occupied with another to correspond with the rest of this an cieut building. Other improvements, we are in. , formed, are about to take place in the interior also. itEGISTEft OF FASHION. THE SHERIFFS' DINNER , • .• The witrdl ceremony of preienting the new Sheriffs of Lon don to the Bardnd of the Exchequer, took place yesterday. They embarked on board the City barge, accompanied by the Stationers' and Goldsmiths' State barges, proceeded to West.. minster, and went through the ancient custom of counting the hob-nails, &c. On their return the companies dined at Gold smiths'-hall. A more splendid enteitaiiiment of the kind has seldom been witnessed. Mr. Sheriff G.i.univr being of the Goldsmiths' Company, and Sheriff VENABLES of the Stationers', the principal Memberg of both Companies were invited, and the banquet was held in the itiagnificent Hall of the former, where above one hundred and fifty, Gentle Men sat down to the repast, a nd t h e ta bl es and sideboard's glittered with a profusion of gold plate, some pieces of which Were of high antiquity and very curious workmanship.—At the dinner the Lord Nlayor presided, supported on each side by his brother Aldermen, the Members for the City, one of the County Mem bers, the late and present Sheriffs, &c. Among the individuals attending were—Alderman Magnay, Lord Mayor Elect, Alder man Sir W. Curtis, Ban.- M.P. Aldermen Sir C. Flower, Ban. Sir C. S. Hunter, Bart. Birch, Annesley, Heygate, Cox, Wood, Waithman, Garratt, Venables, Browne,'And Lucas; T. Wilson, Esq. M.P., S. Whitbread, Esq. M.P., T. A. Curtis, Esq., J. Esdaile, Esq., J. Nichols, Lett, Esq., —olclharn,Esq., Cattley, Esq., &c.—The tables were spread with a profu sion of delicacies, and the entertainment was enlivened by the musical performances of Messrs. Broadhurst, Pyne, Chapman, &c.—The health of the King was given with four times four, and with enthusiastic rapture. It was followed by the usual routine of toasts—The Royal FamilyArmy- 7 NaVy , .-City of London —New Sheriffs, late Sheriffs--Magrstracy of London—Repre sentatives of London—T svo universitra;&c. In the course of the evening the company Were successively addressed by the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs and EX-Sheriffs, Sir Wm. Curtis, Aldermen Magnay and Wood, Messrs: Thomas Wilson, S. Whitbread, Lett, John Nichols, Oldham, &c. The speeches were entirely exclusive of political allusion. The evening passed off with the utmost harmony. The brilliant and correct style of the banquet was much applauded, and the party separated at a late hour, in the utmos: good humour. ManGaTE.—This fashionable summer's retreat has within these last ten days. been the scene of much gaiety and amuse ment, and the residents within its vicinity, as well as the Nobi lity and Gentry visiting, have experienced much gratification in consequence of an election for a Master of the Ceremonies, which at first promised to have a warm contest, no less than fourteen Gentlemen having started for the appointment, thir teen of whom gradually resigned in favour of Captain French (late of his Majesty's 16th Light Dragoons), who on Tuesday last was unanimously chosen, and on Thursday a most splendid ball took place, at which th e favourite candidate was invested with the insignia of office by Lady Hales. HARROWGATE has been uncommonly full this season ; amongst the latest arrivals there are the Earl and Countess of Portsmouth, Lady Pilkington, 'Sir Robert Crawford Pollock, Lady and the two Misses Ancotts, and Sir James Sh aw . On Sunday afte rnoon h er Hi hness Princess Esterhazy ar rived at Chandos-house, from the cottage at Highgate. On Friday tnxt her Highness, with the younger branches of the family, will leave town for Ramsgate, where a house is taken ready for their reception. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford, the Earl of Tyrone, Ladies Susan and Elizabeth Beresford, the Dowager Countess Brownlow, and the Misses Cost, are in the HAUT TOS" list of distinguished visitants to Buxton Wells. Lord and Lady Stewart, it is now understood, do not return to Vienna for some time, but are expected to arrive at Wynyard to-morrow. Yesterday the Earl and Countess Spencer and family, arrived at their house in St. James's Place, from Althorp, their seat in Northamptonshire. It is expected that they will leave town in a few days on a continental tour, and pass the winter in Italy. Lady A'Court will leave town in a few days,. to join Sir Wm. A'Court, at Naples. Her Ladyship will be accompanied by Mr. Lushington, who intends passing the winter in Italy. Mr. and Mrs. Clavering gave a superb dinner and ball last week at their seat of Callaly Castle, in Northumberland. The ball was opened by Lord Itavensworth and the amiable hostess to the lively tune of ". Lord Macdonald's Reel," and dancing was kept up with great spirit until five o'clock in the morning. A DELPHI THEATRE.—This elegant little The atre opened for the season last night, with great improvements in the decoration of the interior.— The dramatic pieces were a lively sketch, en titled Capers at Canterbury, Hay' an Boar's Courtship, and the pantomime of The Fairy cf the North Star, or Hai lequin at Labrador. The first two pieces were well performed and much applauded. WILENCII, WILKINSON, and Mrs. BRYAN, from the English Opera House, were well received. :WRENCH was all spirit and Wu laNsobr all simplicity. They were all well re ceived, and so was MrS.WATLETT, ho is one of the chief props of this Theatre. Indeed, the whole of the company are calculated to do credit to the Theatre. The pantomime is one of the best that we have seen, and went off with great success. There was a very numerous audience. The following are the improvements to which we have above referred : The front pannels of the boxes are formed of rose coloured velvet within a gold beading, in the centre of which appears the head of Plicebus surrounded with a glory. From this orna ment on either side issue rich scrolls of intertwined Grecian honeysuckles. The stiles are white; the platband, or space below the pannels, is fawn-colour, with roszttes. The whole ' of the ornaments are of highly burnished gold, as are the fluted columns against which terminate the partitions which separate the private boxes. These columns rest on pedestals formed of looking-glass, imbedded in rich frames of matted gold. The pedestals reflecting and multiplying the light from th e cen t ra l lustre, prod uce a very li ve l y and pleasing effect. The general style both of colour and ornament in the upper, resembles that of the lower circle, with the exception th a t th e l yre i s substi tuted for the he a d of Phoebus. A. neat silk drapery decorates the private boxes. The cove of the proscenium, supported by pilasters in imitation of Sienna marble, forms an elegant fan, springing from a bold acanthus rosette. The soffite of the arch (white ground) is embellished by the double loftus and rosette, the mouldings of burnished gold. The other parts of the proscenium are Ex SUITE with the audience part of the theatre. The saloon has not been neglected amidst the other objects of the artist's care: but the improvement that cannot fail striking all visitors, is the considerable enlargement of the entrance to the house. Many of our readers, we believe, are aware that a considerable change is about to take place in the Mail coach system,by which the communi cation betwixt all 'parts of the united kingdom will be greatly accelerated. By the 'new ar rangement the Royal mail will run betwixt London and Thurso, a distance of 818 miles, without stopping more than two or three hours at any one place, and in all the in tervening distances a complete day will be gained in corresponding with London. A numerous meeting of mail coach Contractors was held in the king's Arms Inn at Dumfries on Monday, what 'various important alter ations- were agreed to. In the first place, the Edinburgh mail is to run on alternate days, by way of Biggar, Coulter,. Abington, Craw ford, Elvanfoot, and Thornhill, as well as by the present road, taking in Eddleston and Peebles ; secondly, the mail from the South will arrive in Dumfries at half past four, in place of eight in the evening; and as it will only start about an hour earlier than at present, the passengers will have three full hours to rest or do business ; in the third place, the mail from Port Patrick will be dispatched at Seven in the place of 11 o'clock, A. is. and will arrive here at half past eight, in place of half past 11 at night; and will reach Carlisle as early as two in the morning, and thus give the passengers an opportunity of resting before the dispatch of the mails for the sou th.—( Dumfries Courier). iofii . i,: THE VALE. firing not here the din of arms; Nor the flashing sabre blade; the warrior's': shouting and alarms Slut not with thii ciiiizt shade.

The races, with the exception of Wednesday, were well contested, and excited great amusement and interest_ 'We calculated that not less than twenty thousand persons were present at the great wrestling match on Wednesuay morning. Few scenes could give, or ought to give, greater satisfaction. . 1 DEATH By POISON.—On Tuesday )agt an In quest was held at Headington, on view of the body of James Harris, a labourer. This was a ease which required considerable attention, and the examination of several witnesses. Mr. Stock, of Magdalen Hall, in this University, who resides at Heading ton, was Foreman of the Jury. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Wingfield, surgeon, and Mr. Rusher, apothecary,. of Oxford, that the deceased died in consequence of taking cor rosive sublimate on Sunday, the 9th instant : but how he pro cured the sublimate could not be ascertained. He lingered in extreme agony until Sunday last, on which day he died. From the evidence given by Jane Harris,the wife of the deceased, and other witnesses, it appeared that in M a y l as t s h e l e f t h er h us b an d , and cohabited for l about three weeks with Henry Hyatt, a la bourer, of Ileadington, a married man. Hyatt is a young man ; her husband was only 31 years of age ; she did not leave her husband on account of any quarrel ; she left Hyatt, and went to her siste r ' s , f rom w h ose h ouse h er h usband fetched her; he never afterwards reproached her. On Saturday, the llth inst. 1 she was returning from work with her husband, when Hyatt came up to her and asked how she was, at which her husband was much irritated, and challenged Hyatt to fight, who declined it then, but said he would fight him at any other time. Harris and his wife then .went home. No conversation passed between them in going home ; he went up stairs, and said, " I will go away," and immediately ran down stairs. his wife overtook him, and locked him in; he then jumped out of the window, and went away, but returned in a Outer of an hour, and went to bed. Did not speak all night, but appeared much agitated and distressed in mind. About eight o'clock the next morning she asked hint to get up, and have his breakfast ; he refused. She then went down stairs and fetched some milk, which she took lip stairs. Shortly afterwards he said to her, " I have been and took tome poison. She looked at hinn, and caw him with a cup in his hand, which she took from him, but be had drank the greater part of the contents.—Mr. Rusher was sent for, who ex idnined the remainder of the liquid in the cup, and found it to be, as before stated, corrosive sublimate.—Elizabeth White, a near neighbeur of the deceased, and one of the witnesses, stated, that in her opinion " the deceased had not been in his proper mind for some time," which was evidently occasioned by his jea lousy of Hyatt. It appeared also, by the evidence of other wit nesses, that the conduct of Harris had lately been very different from what it had been previously to his wite's elopepent. After the Coroner had simimed up the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died in consequence of having drank poison when a state of temporary insanity." The -Co roner then addressed Jane Harris in strong terms, pointing out to her the gross impropriety of her conduct, which wag clearly proved to have been the cause of her husband's premature death ; and that, in fact, she was morally, though not in point of law, .guilty pf murder. In this Address the Jury unani mously coincided, and it is hoped that it will produce some' good effect an the mindand conduct of this misguided woman.— (Oxford Paper.) 5 2 2 3 3 4 4 diN RELAN . D. OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK. (Faost THE CHRONICLE Or TUE 26Ta Iti.S7 ! ) Sunday last, Denis Buckley, Cornelius Crow leY and, two Women; who were Crown witnesses at the last County Asaizes; returning home from thi.4 City, were attaCked,at Ardagh, and beat so unmercifully, that Buckley' died on the following morning: Crowley and the women escaped to Newcastle; Where they were also maltreated, and it is stated that little hopes are entertained of their recovery: As a means of ensuring Buckley a safe return to his home, he was sent a circuitous route by water, and landed at' Foyne's Island ; but such was the determination of the ruffians Who projected his destruction, that no pass he could go Ly was left without obServation. We understand; only one of the. personi Who were attacked at Ardigh on Sunday last, on their return through that town to Newcastle, died ;.• but another of them was sd severely wounded that his life is despaired of% So determined were the ruffians on their destruction, that they rushed out of Ar dagh Chapel, where they were at their devotion, and surrounding their victims, left them for dead, and threw them into a ditch full of water. The women who Were of the party fled .but, on their arrival at Newcastle, many of the inhabitants, threw b3lliiig water on them from the windows, and a large mob immediately collected, and threw i'ollies Of stones at them, which wounded two so severely as to render their recovery doubtless ; a third Was stripped, dragged tbrorigh the river, and beat most unmerci fully. The Police, although present, were unable to take any of the offenders into custody. -On Monday last, as the mail. car was passing through Rathkeale, Bernard M'Closky, a witness *turning from the Assizes to Newcastle, was forcibly dragged from it by a ,number of men from the town ] and beat and mangled so severe-, ly, that his life is considered by the surgeon in great danger. Neither the Military or Police interfered, to take the offenders into custody ; and had it not been for the Inimanity of Lieut. Doolan, who took him under his protection, the poor man .would have been inevitably destroyed. When prosecutors and witnesses for the Crown are so treated with impunity, no hope can be en tertained that criminals will be brought to justice. On Saturday last, the Rev. Francis Langford, of Castletown; in the barony of Pallis lienry, in this county, sent John Cornea], of Ringmoylan, and some other men, to draw off tithes, agreeably to notice received from ,some landholders. Whilst Corneal sent his companions for horses and cars, he was most inhumanly murdered, his head being severed from his body. The most active mea sures are pursuing by the numerous respectable Gentlemen of that neighbourhood, to apprehend the perpetrators, who, it is stated,have absconded. —On Saturday night last an armed banditti at tacked the house of John Clanchy, of Ballineety- Cross, and proceeded to demolish the windows; but, on ascertaining Clanchy's father-in-law to be in the dwelling, and well armed, they decamped, without doing any further injury. The ,Police have been lately withdrawn from that place.— On Sunday evening, between the hours of seveu and eight o'clock, two men knocked at the door of Rock-Lodge, near Shanagolden, the residence o • S. Harding, Esq., a Magistrate and Coroner of thi county, saying, that they had a letter from his neighbour, Mr. Rice, to deliver. On the hall door being opened, the ruffians instantly seized Mr, Ilarding,w hilst the remainder of the party went into the house, which they robbed of two muskets and a bayonet. ThefellArs, who were 14 in num. ber, appeared to be strangers. They were not dis guised. About 8 o'clock,. on Sunday evening, the house of 'William Morgan, Esq. at the Abbey, near Shanagolden, was attacked by a large party of fellows, who broke the drawing-room win dows and hall 7 cloor, but some shots being fired by Mr. George Morgan, they decamped' after firing five shots. All the male part of the fa mily, except the young gentleman who acted so resolutely, were from home. The object of the ruffians was to obtain fire arms. —Sunday night, an armed party of two hundred, many of them wearing white bands on their hats, at tacked the village of Shanagolden, in this county, in search of fire-arms. :They first went to tint Post-Office, and being told that the family ' had no muskets, they committed dreadful depre dations, such as breaking the furniture, threat ening to murder the inhabitants, &c. They next proceeded to the Bridewell, and broke it open ; thence to other houses, and after demolish ing the doors and 'windows of each they at tacked, entered in a most hostile and menac ing manner, and took what arms they could get. They then proceeded to Golden-house, the residence of the Rev. George Vincent, and demanded his fire arms; but, on telling them he had not any, they retired, first having attempted to break open the hall-door with a sledge. lt.is to be regretted that the inmates were not able to meet them with that reception they deserved,'not having a single hostile weapon in the house.—Ow Monday last, an inquisition was taken on view. of the body 'of Michael Cherry, before Sir C-Mar rett, Mayor and Coroner ; it appeared in evidence, that a large party of men, calling themselves Mummers, had assembled the preceding day, at Ballinacurra, where they intended to, benefit a publican, by dining at his house; at dinner a sudden affray commenced among them, and they fought with sticks and stones for a considerable time; the deceased, who bore an excellent cha racter, received, a severe beating. The Jury, after a patient investigation, pronounced a ver dict," that the deceased came by his death in consequence of a beating received by him from persons unknown to them."

The fears recently entertained of scarcity and high prices have, in consequence, totally subsided. 1 1 3 2 4 3,
