SPORTIN G EXTRAORDINARY.—A gentleman who resides about ten miles from Battle, went out last !reek with the intention of bagging a little game, but found that he could not conveniently carry home all he shot, as he unexpectedly found three sheep had received the contents of his gun. It is only fair to say that he immediately paid for them.—Sussex Express. IRISH HERRING FISHERY.—The boisterous state of the weather has been a great interruption to our harvest fishery, which has not been as productive this season as usual, the quantity of herrings taken be ing very limited. In a late paper we observed a para graph stating that one of her Majesty's gun-brigs was or dered to the coast of Scotland for the protection of the fisherie s i n that quarter ; if an a ppli cat ion w ere ma d e to toaproper quarter , we h av e no doubt a similar protec n w ould be afforded to this extensive coast, where tbL - " fishery T e ranch yearly becomes so important and lucrative a of t ra d e.—Connaug ht J ou rnal. h steam .

LIT RE. REPTON'S LANDSCAPE GARDENING, WITH NOTES, &c , Br J. C. LOUDON', FL.S. The Fourth Nuinber of this work, which is to be completed in twelve numbers, has just been pub lished. It contains two useful chapters on Fences and Pleasure Grounds, and an account, with the modern improvements, of Burley-on•the-Hill, the Seat of the Earl of Winchelsea, in Rutlandshire, and two well-finished wooden cuts of this magnifi cent mansion. The notes to the work by Mr. Loudon are generally marked by good sense and taste. His remarks on parks are peculiarly appropriate. A great park round a gentle man's scat has always something dreary and solitary about it, however well stocked with deer • or black cattle. Even the Great Park at Windsor, though visited by numerous strangers, and attached to the most magnificent Royal residence in Eu rope, and abounding with thousands of forest trees, inspires an idea of gloom and solitude even in the gayest season of the year. A private gentleman's park in a remote part of the country, when extend ing beyond a certain space, is absolutely insuf ferable. " One great error in Mr. Brown's followers," says Mr. Loudon, " has been the unnecessary extent of parks. It is my opinion that, provided the boundary can be properly disguised, the largest parks need not exceed 200 or 300 acres, else they are apt to become farms within a pale, for they are forests rather than parks." LONDON MEDICAL GAZETTE FOR OCTOBER, In this Number there is an important paper by Dr. Bigsby, Physician to the Newark Infirmary, on a subject which is at present exciting much in terest among the medical profession—namely, vac cination. In a former Number we gave an outline of the Report of the Provincial Medical and Sur gical Association, held at Liverpool, in July, and this communication of Dr. Bigsby fully bears out the statement in that report, as regards the decline of vaccination—the growing rage among the lower classes for inoculation, and the vast proportion of grown up persons who have passed through neither small-pox nor cow-pox. The Author writes in very desponding terms on these points, and recommends, what he has himself adopted at Newark, a permanent record of the state of the po pulation with regard to small-pox and vaccination, " as it might prove a useful stimulus in favour, I am almost ready to say, of an expiring blessing, by revealing the low ebb to which in these districts vaccination is unfortunately fallen." In another place he adds— It is not to the credit of an enlightened comma- pity that after 38 years' diligent promulgation of Dr. ienner's inestimable discovery nearly two-thirds of a municipal ward in a respectable town on the Great North Road should have passed through the small pox, and that 1,100 should have submitted to this loathsome disease advisedly. It is not in the power of the medical practitioners to put an end to inoculation. If they should refuse to perform this operation, a sufficient number of unedu cated inoculators would start up immediately, and find good remuneration, as is the case in and about Newark at this moment. Vaccine institutions should be again placed in acti vity in the large towns, having salaried vaccinators at convenient out-stations. Poor-law unions should en• courage vaccination by giving their surgeons is. ad. for each person satisfactorily protected. Information should be distributed through the towns and villages, from the pulpit and by popular tracts, re newed every two years. No servant should be hired unless he or she can show marks of having undergone cow-pox or small-p ox . The same caution should be observed before admitting any person into a Sunday or national school, into any dock yard, or public establishment of whatever kind. The inmates of houses of industry, of correction, or jails should be protected also as soon as possible. Were these measures persevered in for five years, vaccination would assume its rightful postion, and the small-pox be all but extirpated. EPISCOPAL MAGAZINE. October, 1830. In this Number there is a long and fearful article entitled " Statistics of Popery," in which the writer chimes in with Mr. O'Connell, though in a very different mood. While NI r. O'Connell sings paeans and looks forward, his heart overflowing with delight, to the day when all Christians shall be gathered unto " the one Shepherd of one fold ;" the Reverend Mortimer O'Sullivan, for lie alone could pen the article, pours out his lamentations in the following lugubrious, magniloquent, and awful strains, in the form of a prologue to a tragedy or an introduction to an epic poem : " Popery—the cursc., of every country in which it has se cured a lodgment; the source of turbulence and crime, of cruel bloodshed and remorseless persecution ; the concen trated essence of bigotry, of consummate duplicity, and treachery ; at whose accursed torch the flames of martyr dom have been kindled; at whose beck the inquisitorial sword unsheathed, and the rack unveiled on every soil in Christendom ; whose shrine is clouded with the infernal incense of a thousand idolatries, and encircled with the murmers of ten thousand horrifying blasphemies; whose altars have groaned with myriads of human victims • and whose foundations reap solidity and permanence alone from the utter prostration of all that is lofty and generous in man ;—yes, Popery ! the bane of England, the arrester of all progressive improvement, national or social, the tyrant of conscience, the inveterate antago list of liberty, the forger of fetters for the human mind, the prolific fountain of vice, the colossal scourge of humanity, the MASTERPIECE OF SATAN, again stalks the land, and threatens Britain with a deluge of sedition and absurdity, of bloodshed and rebellion. There is no more certain sign of national decay, no surer symptoms of moral degradation and the debase ment of a population, and, at the same time, no more in dubious evidence of the righteous judgments of the Al mighty descending upon the land, than is fut nished by the rapid spread of principles alike subversive of morality, of freedom, and of justice, and the re-entanglement of the public mind in the meshes of a net woven for the destruc tion of empires and the eternal perdition of immortal souls." And the epilogue is no less poetic, but still more war-like, for M. O'Sullivan is determined to have no truce with Rome—he proclaims war to the knife, and if by fighting valiantly he cannot stem the torrent of iniquity, he is resolved " to sink in the mighty waste of waters." " Wouid that England," he exclaims— " Woold tt , at England would rouse from her death .slum ber and shake the torpor from her limbs! The colossal folds of Popery are rapidly encircling her, and threaten speedily to crush her into nothingness. Its poison is already flowing in her life's blood ; its envenomed sting is all but fleshed in her heart's core. Where is now the spirit of the vener able Cranmer, of Latimer, or of Ridley—where ? Does it yet exist? or was it quenched in the ashes of their martyr dom ? It still exists. Yes : though the band of the true hearted be but as Gideon's troop of worthies, there are men in whose breasts the lambent flame of essential Protestant ism still exists ; who, with " the Braids" for their standard, and their motto, " No PEACE WITH ROME" for their battle cry, will yet fight valiantly for the truth, and, if the sun of Britain's glory be indeed eternally set, will wish for no more exalted privilege—no more distinguished honour, than to perish with her greatness, to sink in the mighty waste of waters, true to the monumental wreck, which their zeal and their exertion could not rescue from ruin." THE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON ALDRIDGE, THE POLlCEMAN.—Yesterday morning, pursuant to adjournment, the jury re-assembled at the Swan Inn, Lea, at ten o'clock. The eleven prisoners were brought from the station-house, Blackheath-road, in an omnibus, handcuffed and strongly guarded, as on the previous examination. The prisoners, on alighting from the ve hicle, showed great levity, and appear to be a reckless set. A strong body of police, under the direction of Inspector Phipps, were present to preserve order in the crowded court, and the proceedings were listened to with intense interest. Mr. Sidery, the foreman of the Jury, having on Thursday visited the spot where the fatal affray took place, for the infor ma ti on o f hi s b rot h er jurors, laid a plan of it before them. Mr. Inspector Phipps produced half-a-dozen stones as a sample of the stones which were thrown ; they were flint, and would weigh from two ounces to three-quarters of a pound.— A number of witnesses were examined, but no new evi dence of importance was adduced.—After half an hour's consultation between the Coroner and the Jury, the inquest was adjourned till Tuesday next, at two o'clock. BRUSSELS, OCT. 2.—The average price of wheat last week was 24f. 38c., and of rye 13f. 76c. The regulation of import and export duties remain as before. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A great deal of con fusion was created on the St. Katherine's steam-packet wharf on Wednesday night, from the following cause : Between eleven and twelve o'clock the steam-ship Royal William was getting under way, preparatory to proceeding on her voyage to Leith. When four fine horses belonging to his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, each secured in a large wooden box open at the sides, were being conveyed from the quay up a platform on to the deck of the ship, one of the animals got exceed ingly- restive on being conveyed across the platform, and managed to overturn the wooden machine he was con fined in, and by struggling fell, cage an d a ll , over th e side into a light er b e l ow, b y which a labourer had a very narrow escape of his life. The animal was even tually got safely on board without having sustained any injuries.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY , OCTOBER 5, 1839. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. THUB:SDAY AFTERNOON The Queen's Plate was run as follows :—Alemdar took the lead at a very slow pace to the dip, where he mended it, Men dizabal lying second, Antler third, Fame fourth, and Jenny Jones last. They kept in this order to the barn, near Choke Jade, where Jenny Jones, " Willy nilly," took up the running, followed by Alcmdar to the corner of the plantation. From this point to the end Mendiz,:bal and Fame ran together, the horse having a slight lead, till they were landed at the top of the bill, where the mare challenged, and, after a desperate struggle, won by a neck. Antler was fourth, and Jenny Jones fifth, both beaten off. rtes. cantile bills become due. We have nothing to add to our remarks of yesterday in relation to the engagements of Mr. Jaudon. The price of Consols for Money rose in the middle of She day to 901, and for Account to WI : . This ad vance was not, however, maintained up to the conclusion of business, when business was transacted in Consols for the first transfer day (next week) at 90a, for the L'ith inst. at DOI, and for November at 91, sellers. The va lue of Exchequer Bills rose to par in the morning, but it left off at 3s. to ls. discount. India Bonds were sold at 3s. discount to par. Business was brisk to-dav in the Foreign Stock Exchange, but the alterations in prices were not co extensive. The demand for money in the City to-day has been rather pressing, but it must be recollected that an im mense amount of bills became due ; and we are glad to state that by far the larger proportion of the number sent out by the London bankers, have been paid. In the present state of commecial credit and difficulty this is a circumstaoce o f no or di nar y import ance . It is more than prjable that we shall now shortly at hare a superab un d I: e of capit a l see king employment in the market a t coca aratively low rates of interest.

SPIRIT of the i I 'UBr,IC JOURNALS FROM THE MORiiING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the .illorning Herald.) When we find that,: in the very teeth of the praises which Conservative credulity has bestowed on Lord Ebrington, that exalted functionary humbly stoops from his eminent. position, as the delegate of RoyziAy, to applaud and be-puff that creature of O'Connelt's mut tifarious agitation, called the " Dublin Trades' Politi cal Union," can we regard him as ambitious of obtain ing a nobler fame as Chief Governor of Ireland, than that. achieved by Lord Normanby. If Lord Nor manby were now Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, his course as a flaming satellite round the orb of the cen tral fire of agitation would be, necessarily, a, miti gated one ; we should no longer hear of the monstrous absurdities, the fantastic pranks, of the vagabond courting popularity tours, and the ragamuffin gaol-delive- The notice which his Lordship's follies received ,rom the Upper House of the Legislature, however he and his myrmidons may endeavour to brazen the thing out, has made some impression, and excited a salutary dread of worse consequences. Lord Normaaby had been encouraged in his silly and unprincipled course by the too excessive forbearance of the House of Lords— but since the inquiry into his conduct as Viceroy of Ireland he could have expected that indulgence no longer. A Viceroy of Ireland is but the puppet of -the Administration, and, as the Whig Administration is but the instrument of O'Connell's will, of course a Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is but the puppet of O'Connell. Such is Lord Ebrington, and such will be every Viceroy who shall at any time be placed over the destinies of that unfortunate country by virtue of the treaty of Lichfield House. (From the Morning Advertiser.) As the exposure of innumerable fallacies alleged in support of the Corn-laws become exhausted to its dregs, the interest excited in favour of the abolition of these laws becomes more rife in public anxiety. Imperative necessity is now urging to its consummation a measure for which justice, humanity, and sound policy had long pleaded in vain. The doom of the Corn-laws is sealed, and when they shall have become matters of history posterity will not feel more astonished at the evils of which they were the cause than at the indifference which could. have so long telerated their infliction. • Designed in the first instance to maintain for the landed Aristocracy an undue ascendancy over the more bend ial rank achieved by commercial enterprise, their ef fects have exceeded the purpose of their institution, ind by crippling our manufacturing efforts at borne and olocking up the avenues of commercial intercourse abroad, they have, by limiting the trade of the country, re-acted injuriously on those interests they intended 'o sustain, and have at length brought on a crisis, astened by a bad harvest and a pressure in the money ,narket, wherein England has scarcely an alternative between a repeal of the Corn-laws or a national bank ruptcy. IVe mean not to cause alarm, or cry out Wolf," we know the evil day may be deferred, but to this complexion must we come at last. We have no nisgivings of the resources of Great Britain ; she has by her skill, industry, and enterprise literally wrought miracles ; but to continue a successful competit.on in the foreign markets while paying a shilling for the bread of life which in other countries may be had for sixpence, is a miracle which all her ingenuity cannot achieve. (From the Times.) Why Mr. Poulett Thomson should have been chosen for Canada is a question which his late colleagues and present masters may answer. With no personal disre spect whatever toward the Right Hon. Gentleman, we r never heard of his being qualified to lead a forlorn hope. We have remarked that the government of the Canadas it this moment calls for the most eminent statesmen in the empire. What, then is Mr. Poulett Thomson ? Originally member of an opulent mercantile firm, who traded chiefly in Baltic produce, he took to cultivate his genius by reading political economy. The subject is one for minds of exact, but rather small, dimensions, which see clearly what little they do see, but whose vision is of short range, and with a narrow compass of horizon. For a mere political econo mist to expand himself into a statesman would be but a rehearsal of the frog and the ox. But there arc other minus quantities in the understood character of Mr. P. Thomson, besides thew which negative his intellectual pretensions as a statesman. He is said to be a man of as little energy as a sagacity. He has never exhibited the slightest evidence of moral strength or power. He has never exercised, or seemed to acquire, the least par ticle of ascendancy over men. He is not disliked, as we have learned ; but he is not looked up to. Even the ques tion of "Panzegotiisr has not been tried with him, but on the very humblest scale of mechanical action. Yet is not British North America at such a crisis (or at any time) to be ruled by a man of routine? " I want to see our North American Colonies governed," saith a man of governing mind; and if it were put to his Grace the Duke of Wellington whether Mr. P. Thom son be the individual capable of realizing his Grace's wish, what, oh ! what, would be the withering answer ? Mr. P. Thomson's prope r sphere is the counting-house, not the Council Chamber, still less the Vice-regal Palace ; least of all —though he be Captain•General— the field. He is out of his element in the storm which he goes to encounter. He will be on his beam-ends the very first squall—he has no bearings—he has no ballast —he is not seaworthy. (From the Morning Chronicle.) England has always been distinguished for its legal fictions. The law is said to be the same for the poor and the rich ; but so was the road the same to the giant ind the dwarf in the fable. Among other fictions, re ire told that no man ought to be punished till after conviction by a jury of his Peers ; the fact notoriously 'oeing that, as the prisons would not contain a tithe of our juvenile criminals alone, there is no choice between absolute impunity and summary convictions. Persons guilty of felony are punished summarily for another offence. The common sense of Magistrates revolts against the inhumanity (to say nothing of the absolute want of prison room) of committing for trial numbers of juvenile thieves ; and thus practice gives the lie to the letter of the law. Jeremy Bentham, were he alive, would not attribute Lord Lyndhurst's opposition to summary con victions to a desire to preserve means for future Tory jobbing, but would at once place it to the account of the love of mendacity, which he su p pose d i nsepara bl e from all who had ever dedicated themselves , to the , study o f English law. It is certain that no people have a greater abhorrence of doing things in a natural - and straight forward way than English lawyers ; but Mr. Bentham . certainly pushed his theory too far ; and we are willing to believe that the opposition to summary convictions has its origin, not in a warped understanding, but in less creditable motives. But truth is never set at defi ance with impunity. We remember well the difficulty with which jurors could be brought to convict, when stealing in a dwelling-house to the amount of five shillings what e ncouragement cr i me was a capital offence ; and received from the belief that prosecutors would not come forward, and jurors would not convict. The law in respect to punishment was, after a severe struggle with the old lawyers, made more accordant mith com mon sense, and the growing humanity of the age. The old hatred to improvement has assumed a new shape. It has actually borrowed the robes of humanity. Let us not, say these lovers of humanity, h ave one law for the rich and another for the poor—let us not say that we will only punish a Nobleman after he has been found guilty by his Peers , and that We will plac e a poor man at the mercy of a single Magistrate. And is it true that the poor are not punished till after convic tion by a jury? If that were the case the country would scarce be habitable. But what does actually happen ? This pretended humanity of the haters of improvement nourishes into premature precocity hosfs of thieves, who, if dealt with rationally in the commence ment of their career, might be rescued f rom a wretched end. _ _ (From the Morning p ost.) We learn from the northern newspapers that the Bishop of Durham (Dr. Maltby) visited Barnard Castle the other day, for the purpose of consecrating a burial ground and " holding a confirmation?' His Lordship preached a sermon which is described as being very elo quent, and chieflyabout funereal matters, and, although it was a week-day, most of the tradespeople, it is said, shut up shop, and went to church. The sequel to all this, however, and especially to the " confirmation," if there really were any such thing, was somewhat novel and curious. There was a " splendid repast" provided at the King's Head Inn, and partaken of by a company , of hotwpen sixty and scv , T.tr. This was in honour of ikicre vvii.; JUAN of sociable drinking. The " usual loyal toasts having been disposed of," the health of the Lord Bishop was drunk with respectful enthusiasm, and in return for this courtesy his Lordship made a speech to the com pany. He gave a pledge which it would be very gra tifying to serious Churchmen generally if they could be lieve that his Lordship would intelligently adhere to, namely, that he would compromise none of the doc trines of the Establishment to which he belonged, but he trusted he should ever maintain its true interests without giving offence to those who differed on specula , tive matters of doctrine from himself. He thought that by acting thus, he should best inculcate that uni versal charity which was the leading principle of their common Christianity, and he conscientiously believed that this line of conduct would be most con ducive to the union of all branches of the Church of Christ, described in the beautiful language of the Psalmist, " Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." That Provi dence will bring this about at some time or another, and towards the end of time, we do not doubt ; but the means at present cannot be seen. We know not where Dr. Maltby and others have beheld, or supposed they beheld, that unwonted diffusion of the principles of to leration and charity of which they speak. To us it seems that Popery and Protestant dissent are more do mineering and contentious in their character now than they have been for the last hundred years. kVe cannot intelligence can how any being of merely human can be at once determined to compromise none of the ' doctrines of the Established Church of England, and to inculcate this firmness upon others, and yet be capable of seeing his way towards a union of all sects as one Church. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Courier.) On this matter of the " Repeal of the Union " we are inclined to think that Mr. O'Connell finds himself in a dilemma. He cannot deny, and indeed admits, that all parties are opposed to it ; and how does he seek to account for it ? Why, by asserting that so strong is the " antipathy" of the English to the Irish, that they will not consent to the repeal. Surely if Mr. O'Connell is correct in his assertion of the " antipathy " of the English, that antipathy would prompt the English rather to desire a disunion political and social with a people towards whom Mr. O'Connell says they enter tain so strong an antipathy. It must be an odd sort of an antipathy—quite Irish—if it be true that in the ratio of its intensity the disinclination of the English to disunite themselves from the objects of their antipathy increases. Will Mr. O'Connell never understand that the antipathy is to himself, his designs, his agitation, and to his incessant endeavours to create jealousies, misunderstandings, and ill-will be tween two countries, whom nature and political circum stances have decreed must form one kingdom and one people, and whom, in spite of Mr. O'Connell's plots and denunciations, we firmly believe will continue to remain in union with the same kind-heartedness and cordiality ; which the English have always exhibited and felt towards their Irish brethren. (From the Globe.) There can be no doubt that Spain is now in a state to invite ail kind of enterprises on the part of her neigh bours to work the resources now, for the first time, ren dered available. Lord Clarendon has referred to the tracts of property liberated from sloth, and opening a nea field for capital and for cultivation. The Debats talks of a fresh treaty of commerce with Spain as highly desirable, and of the powers possessed by France of establishing a mutually beneficial interchange. There can be no doubt that the improvement of Spain will develop at least equal faci lities for highly profitable commercial relations with this country. The capabilities of her soil and people are not merely unexhausted, but untried. A dead system of spiritual and secular absolutism, and an an tiquated colonial and commercial regimen,, have re pressed her energies. It is only now —w e again quote Lord Clarendon's authority—that Spain has begun to rouse herself from the long sleep of ages, and to ad vance in the course marked out for her by her noble. site, and antique character. It was well remarked by Lord Clarendon, that if the Spaniards have net yet recognized the benefits of un restricted commercial intercourse, we should not forget the existence of the Corn-laws in England. In the career of national improvement to which we trust we may look forward, the extension of her agriculture must long hold the first rank in Spain. It is impossible to look at those territories which once peopled the south of Ireland, to see them brought by steam within forty-eight hours' voyage of her wretched Peasantry, and not to be s:ruck with the open ing to cheap and most productive emigration which appears to be held out by the fertile fields of Spaizi under Liberal government. The great problem every where demanding solution is to bring la bouring people (the source of all wealth, as well as all power) in contact with a field of production which can employ and repay their labour. Spain appears to open such a field to immense numbers of cultivators. And here exist those sympathies of religious tradition and education, which the Debats talks of between Spain and France, but which are far more real between Spain and Ireland. (From the Standard.) Another of the Elliots has been provided for. Ad miral the Hon. Charles Elphinstone Fleeming, cousin to Sir Charles Adam, half brother to Lord Elphin stone, and Commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, has been appointed to the Governorship of Greenwich Hos pital. It has hitherto been the practice to make this appointment the reward for long and distinguished services ; but these are considerations which her Ma jf!sty's Government rever allow to influence them in the ' distribution of their patronage. If, however, Admiral Fleemine• ' has seen no service at sea (and we are assure d he never had the good fortune to take part in a battle in his life), he possesses what in the eyes of Lord Mel bourne arid his associates constitutes a much stronger claim to reward ; he has been an active supporter of Whig principles for many years ; and recently assisted to stay the torrent of public indignation against Ministers for their neglect of the British navy, by describing the Russian fleet as a " pasteboard fleet." This clever sally has been quoted on all occasions by Minis- ters as a proof that no precaution was necessary against such an antagonist, and Admiral Fleeming was forthwith rewarded by the naval command at Portsmouth, having previously held those of Sheer ness and the West Indies. This was not deemed com pensation enough for so distinguished an officer. He has accordingly been appointed to a situation where his tenure is more secure than it is likely to have been at Portsmouth. How worthy a successor of the gallant vete ran in whose arms Nelson breathed his last,and who shared with him the most glorious of his triumphs, is Admiral Fleeming ! It would seem as though every succeeding appointment of the Whigs were destined to exceed in corrupt favouritism its predecessor. Of all their re cent performances, however, this is the most dis gusting and the most corrupt. We predicted that Greenwich Hospital was too good a thing to be allowed to pass out of the Elliot family, and our anticipations have not been disappointed. Per haps the confidence which prevented Sir Charles Adam from appropriating the appointment to himself was ill judged ; at all events, an Elliot, and an active supporter of Ministers, has been provided for. JDR.JENNEWAND ROWLAND HILL.—ROW- Iand Hill, the once eminent preacher, ably defended Dr. Jenner's discovery against its opponents. " This," he said, is the very thing for me ;" and wherever he went to preach, he announced after his sermon, " I am ready to vaccinate tomorrow morning, as many children as you choose ; and if you wish them to escape that horrid disease the small-pox, you will bring them." Once a week he inoculated the children who were brought to him from `'Notion and the neighbourhood ; and it is well known that one of the most effective boards in London was established, and still continues in operation, at Sur rey Chapel. Mr. Hill once introduced Jenner to a `Nobleman, in these terms :—Allow me to present to yoUr Lordship my friend Jenner, who has been the means of saving more lives than any other man." " Ah !" said Jenner, " would that, like you, I could say souls."-- Physic and Physicians. THE ROYAL NAVY.--PORTSMOUTH.—The battalion of Royal marines serving on shore in Spain arc ordered to prepare to return to England ; Colonel Aslett, second in command, will go to Plymouth, being appointed to that division. The Blenheim, 72, Capt. Sir N. Sen house, and Belleisic, 72, Capt. Nicolas, have been de spatched from Plymouth to Lisbon, where they will re main pro tem., and be followed shortly by the Revenge, Captain Waldegrave, from Cork, as SOOl4 as she has completed her complement of men. The Imogene, 26, Captain Bruce, is daily looked for from Brazils, with a large freight of dollars on merchants' account. Com mander Thomas Ogle, promoted to Captain, from the President frigate, is expected home in the Imogene. • She has nearly 2,000,000 of dollars on board. TIIE APPLE CROP.—The crops of apples in the neighbourhood of Barnstaple, are far more produc tive than was expected ; parts of several cargoes have been, and still continue to be, shipped off ; the price a fortnight since for apples was 7s. tici. per bag, which is now reduced to about (is. per bag, and a still greater re duction is expected to take place.—Plyntouth Journal. Yesterday morning, between ten and eleven, a frightful acc►dent occurred to a fine young man named John Hull, aged 24, in the employ of Messrs. Whit bread, brewers, Chiswell-street. It appears the unfor tunate young man was riding upon the shaft of his dray, down Skinner-street, Snow-hill, whilst his compa nion was driving, when in turning the corner sharply into King-street, to avoid another vehicle coming in an opposite direction, his legs were jammed between the iron-post at the corner and the wheel, which crushed them in a frightful manner. He was immediately re moved to St. Bartholomew's ; but it is feared that am putation will be unavoidable.

HONE Y MARKET and CITY NEWS (FRIDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—It would be ungeacrous to press hardly cu a man in the situation to which the agent of the United States' Bank has been brought, but it is impossible to avoid remarking that no more wapromising symptom of it has yet appeared than some statements circulated to day of the terms on which the principal holders of hi; post notes have consented to defer their claim of pay ment. An institution which has large obligations to meet so far off as Philadelphia is from England, ma) possibly be taken unawares, and fall into temporar 3 embarrassments, by mistaken reliance on the support o' others, or by under-estimating the claims upon it ; but it is true that interest at the rate of 16 per cent. has been submitted for delay until the ex pected remittances arrive, it amounts to a declaration on the part of the creditors that they consider the risk of ultimate payment to lie.considerable. We have not of ourselves affirmed anything of the kind ; but, as the statement is made in quarters where something Eke the personal confidence of the agent is claimed, i; is to be feared that there is some foundation for it. To make the matter worse, it is intimated that besides this extravagant rate of " demurrage," collateral security is given in the shape of stocks and bonds of the separat( States and of other banks—conditions which would be exacted from no young spendthrift borrowing on the strength of his succession to an estate by any trading usurer. Mr. Jaudon seems indeed, unless it is a mere assumption on their part, to be peculiarly un fortunate in the selection of the people who are to receive his confidence, who handle the matter so clumsily as to make the case worse than it was before. They assure us, for example, in another place of " authority," that the guarantees have not withdrawn ; that they have never been called upon to act ; that they spontaneously offered to assist Mr. Jaudon, and are still willing to act if necessary, with more to the same effect. But the apologist, to bc worthy of his office, should have gone on to assign some cause why, if they were so very willing, they have not been called upon, rather than let it go forth to the world that the agent has not only been compelled to entreat the forbearance of the holders of his post notes, but to pay a much higher price for it than any private merchant in ordinary credit would submit to. But the meeting referred to by the Times, says this " au thority" further, " toolk place at the house of Mr. Jaudon, and at his own request," as if that made any difference, or altered his position in the slightest degree for the better. It is lamentable to see a man who fights the battle so bravely in his own " location" in Broad street, make so sorry a figure when he appears before the world to offer explanations in print respecting bis conduct and his prospects. What is notoriously doing here, and on the other side, in the way of efforts by the United States Bank to meet this most pressing emergency, should convey, at all events, a warning to the holders of its shares not to expect the same rate of dividend that they have been accustomed to receive, for all engagements, it is clear, must be made good, if at all, at their cost. In New York and Philadelphia it is matter of notoriety, that the Bank of the United States is raising money at the high rate of 18 per cent., and those markets were already pressed to their very utmost power of endur ance : here something like the same price is said to be given, while the fall in the price of cotton must entail a severe loss ; and how the profits are to be realized which are to counterbalance these, there is no ono who can form even a conjecture. The arrival of the Great Wes tern may possibly enlighten us on all these matters, and till then it will be useless to say more. The pressure for money generally has been very great in the city to-day, but it is much to be doubted whether it is really scarce, as it is well known that large sums are kept locked up by the leading capitalists and bankers to await the issue of the transactions of the United States Bank, and till that is known, it will be held back from employment. Besides this distrust, the cir culation has been partially acted upon by the large pay ments for duties on corn, which are said to haVe amounted in this week to between 9 00,000/. and :300,000/. Some Exchequer bills have been paid in for these or other duties, but only of the class called Com mercial bills, issued for the advances in aid of public works, and which are, of course, limited in amount compared with the total of the unfunded debt, the holders of which, between the Treasury and the Bank, consider themselves fairly " done for." The amount of bills, however, paid for duties this week, is said to be near 40,0001. Advices from Liverpool state that an extraordi nary meeting took place there yesterday of the direc tors of one of the joint-stock banks, to take into con sideration the conduct pursued for some time past at the Bank of England, in refusing to admit for discount bills drawn by or bearing the endorsement of joint•stock banks issuing their own notes. The only result which had transpired was, that a delegation had been ap pointed to proceed to London, to confer with the Bank Directors here on the subject. CHRONICLE.—The funds have shown a degree in consequence of the difficulties in of buoyancy to-day far beyond that exhibited for some time past. The apprehensions which were entertained of of the United States Bank had been 3 a ::.Annv,3ll, and, tiff a . iecn i? t t t . 1 3 17 : 1:?n i is the 4th of the month, when a vast n um b er of mer- EVENIN EDITION' \-:fi MYSTERIOUS CASE of POISONING. On Thursday an inquiry, which was adjourned from the 25th, took place before J. T. Osbaldeston, Esq., one of her Majesty 's Coroners for the county of Herts, at the Crown Inn, tlitchin, and the circumstances connected with the death of Richard Brice, a tradesmen of the town of Hitelein, who died under very mysterious cir cumstances, and whose body had been exhumed after several days' interment, for the purpose of the original inquiry being hastituted before the Coroner. Tiles proceedise,es occupied the Court and Jury for thirteens hours, :And they appeared to excite very great inter st. The inn where the inquest was held was surroi ended by a crowd of persons the whole day, and the in quest-room was filled almost to suffocation. The follewein,g- facts connected with this mysterious case were adduced in evidence upon the former invests anti ons 1:e fore the Coroner :—lt appeared that the de cear led Ism s a young man, respectably connected, and by trade. a plumber and glazier. About twelve months ago he 'bricame Ottuaint'ed with a young female, named Mas,ia 'Browne,'4hp ( - laughter of persons who do not bear- .a very restieetelde character in Hitchin, and as she :possessed vdty contiderable personal attractions, Brice was inducnA- to overlook this circumstance, and he sl iortly after;Vards married her. The marriage turne d out a meafunhappy one—they were continually grusn Sling, and hefore a very long time had elapsed theie differences attained such a height that she left the roof of her h us b an d and went to live with her father. Atthe time the marriage took place Brice was about 23 years of age, and his wife 20. After the separation ma item were made up, and they lived together again, but still very unhappily. Thing went on in this we until Sunday, the Bth of' September, when it appenrs that Brice had agreed to meet his mother, a fer settle cousin, and some other members of his family at E litchin, and he did so ; and, in the morning, he ac cc ml )anied his cou,in part of the way h ome ; and it would seenthat he wa s iobserved by a little boy, who went immi adiately to Mrs. Brice, and told her that he is seen her husband walking with the wife of a painter nem, sd Eastell. This put her into a violent passion, aru'l when the deceased came home at night. a quarrel toe I; place between them, and she was heard to make use, of threatening language. Brice eid not undeceivo her • as to who had reply accompanied him in the even ing in question, and uricier the impression that she had be m truly informed, Mrs. Brice the next day went to th• person referred to, and told her that it was fortu na to she did not see her with her husband, for if she had, sh , t would have marked her, and made use of other ex pr amions tending to show that she was highly exasperated at what bad occurred. On the Tucsdey following. w hi le the deceased was at work, a little boy came to tell him to go home to dinner, and about half-past t•ve lye o'clock he left his work for that purpose, being at :the time in the enjoyment of perfect health. He re nal red to his work, and in a short time was seized with eras, ep and violent retching, and the symptons in creel red to such an extent that at length he was corn pellet Ito leave his work and go home. As he was pro coedit, g thither he was met by his wife, who was heard to say to him that he was not half ill enough, and that she hoped_ he would be a box of " cold meat" by the meaning, and that she wished to be his cold nurse. On the same night she told a person who went to inquire after him, that she did cot think he would see " Dick," meaning her husband, again very soon. The deceased continued in dreadful agony until NVednesday the 11th, when he died. The medical gentleman who had been called in considered the case to be of such a peculiar kind that he expressed a wish to opt !n the body, but this was resolutely opposed by Mrs. Brice and the relations, and on the Saturday fol lowinr f the deceased was buried in Hitchin churchyard. In cce as equence, however, of the rumours that were abroad, and the excitement upon the subject in the town, the Coroner issued his warrant for the disinter ment of the body, which was done, and a surgical exa minatilon of it took place. No external marks of vio lence :presented themselves ; but, upon the body being opened, the medical gentleman was im mediate ly struck with its extraordinary appear ance, and which could not be accounted for, as the result of any apparent disease. There was in particular one bright yellow spot, presenting a very peculiar ap pearaerce. A minute analysis of the contents of the stomad s took place, and at length the presence of white a rsenic was distinctly ascertained, and the sur geon deposed positively that the man's death was oc casio acel through the administration of this poison. U! ?on ascertaining those facts the inquiry was again adjoi ailed until Thursday, when the following additional evid€ race was adduced. D uring the proceedings Maria Brice, the deceased's widow, made an application to the Coroner to be al lowed to be present to hear the proceedings ? The' CORONER said he had no objection, and she was brought into the room, and had a chair placed for her close to the witnesses. She is a very good lookin g young woman. When she came into the room she lo oked at the Jury attentively, and it was evident that ;she regarded the proceedings with the deepest anxiet y. \Vii ham Day deposed that lie knew the deceased, and on the morning of the day on which he was taken ill he met him about twelve o'clock. He appeared quite hearty and well, and proposed that they should have some beer together, and they did so, and when he left him he appeared quite well and in good spirits. A woman named Ballard deposed that on the 10th of Sfsptember, the day the deceased was taken ill, she twits with Mrs. Brown, the mother of Maria Brice, the wife of the deceased, and she said that she was very uneasy about her daughter—that she was gone home to get her husband's din ner, and that she had murder in her heart. She asked whoa it was all about, and she replied that Maria had heard that Dick had been walk ing with another woman. The witness also stated that on Sunday evening last the widow of the deceased said to h,er, " There's another that wants a little blood money, but they will all be chet' (cheated) yet." Anne Pearson deposed that between three and four o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th of September she saw the deceased. He was in the street leaning upon some rails retching violently, and appeared to be in great agony. 'Witness remarked to him how ill he ap peared to be, and he replied, " I am indeed neigh bour Pearson." Witness asked him what was the matter with him? and he replied, "He did not know, but that he had been so ever since he had his dinner." She asked bins what he had had for dinner ? and he replied, " I have only bad—," and then his voice became indistinct, in consequence of his retching ; but witness thought he said " dumpling." Witness remained with him several minutes. He appeared unable to stand upright, and he placed both his hands on his belly, and said, " My belly seems to be drawn up in one knot." The deceased went away in the direction of his own home, and she saw no more of him. " Gentlemen," said the CHAIRMAN, one of whose du ties appeared to be that of restraining the oratorical seizures of his coadjutors, " as the Court appears to be divided, the shortest way will be to put the ques tion at once." The question was put, the publican gained the day, and the coalheaver was ordered to pay the full amount. If I pay a farden," said the coalheaver, wrathfully, I wish I may be--" The constable of the Court succeeded in closing the door on the angry coalheaver, thus rendering his con cluding word inaudible. THE REVIVALS. (From a Corrspondrnt of the Scotsman.) A respectable woman, who was formerly my servant, and is now housekeeper to a clergyman at some dis tance from Edinburgh, went to visit some relations at Kilsyth on Saturday last, and was desired to bring back some account of the Revival Sacrament held there on Sunday. She attended preachings in the fields on Sunday and Monday, during the day, from 11 A.M. till about 6 ram., and on Sunday night, in the church, from eight in the evening till three next morning. There had been preaching every day for some weeks, and it was said that fifty clergymen had tendered their assistance. From 10,000 to 12,000 persons were said to be present on Sunday last. I had asked her to visit me on her return, in order to give me also some account of what might take place. I was surprised and shocked at what I heard, and thought it right to take down in writing part of what she said , " The most conspicuous preacher was a Mr. Burns, junior, whose manner was much the same as that of some Methodists. There was not much regular con nected discourse, but a mixture of Scripture quotations and remarks, and anecdot es , an d e j aculations ; such as, " Ye are rotten-hearted sinners !"-- " I see the Devil looking out of your eyeballs I" The torments of hell were much dwelt on.' Many took hysterics and appeared to faint. Their cries seemed infectious, and became very general. Those who were most affected were chiefly children under twelve years of age. I saw one girl, who was cer tainly under twelve, who, after she had been carried out in a faint, was brought back. She crawled in, and lay looking with a wild stare at._ the preacher. The Ministers called these affections the work of Gad. I saw one grown up young woman lying apparently dead in the Session-room, and a young man who seemed to be a clergyman, lecturing over her to the effect that it was the hand of God. She afterwards revived, and was carried away to her friends, but had, bad relapses, and was said to be in a b a d way." Surely the pure and rational relfion-of-christ has no connexion with these laintirigsn%and convulsions. Who can believe that the first alep :to render men and women Christians is to disturb - Or itupifv their senses and unse t t l e the i r understandings ! , Is it not evident that a faith planted in this way has its root in the nerves, and not in the rational faculties? I -am not surprised that ignorant weakly men, and hysterical women, worn out by fasting, terrified by pictures of future judgment, and ex efted by tie presence of a dense multitude, shall have their feelings overpowerecL and - iris - take tem porary delirium for a miraculous change ir, their minds ; but that educated clergymen, who ought to have studied human nature, and who should know from his tory the thousand extravagant and monstrous things which religious phrensy has produced in past times, to the dishonour of Christianity, should become the prime movers of such disgraceful proceedings, is no less humiliating than melancholy. It is mortifying to see how little men profit by experience, and how ready one generation is to repeat the follies and absurdities of another. The question has been asked, whether meetings of males and females through the night are not disorderly in a legal point of view, and whether the terrifying human beings into fits by rhapsodical appeals to the imagination, intended to produce that very effect, are not off,nces against the peace and security of society, which would justify the interference of the Sheriffs of counties ? These arc questions which I do not pretend to answer. (From another Correspondent.) GLASGOW, SEPT. 27.-1 was at Kilsyth last night, or rather this morning, for it was nearly two o'clock before we got out, and heard such a rhapsody from young Mr. Burns, the great organ in the Kilsyth Revivals, as fnever listened to before—his sermon being a mere compound of enthusiasm, weakness, and trifling--not to mention the approaches to blasphemy which characterized some of his statements. Think only of such expressions as these--" This is Christ's shooting season," --and then asking the audience, " Have yon been shot ?"--.a:Haye you felt his arrows within you ?" Again, itralsis con cluding remarks, he pressed upon all present not to leave the place, not to go out at the door without taking Christ in their arms—" Take an armful of Ctrist, and carry him home with you." In answer to questions from the Coroner, the witness said that the father of Mrs. Brice had told her that he was sure she was mistaken as to the deceased saying that he had his dinner on the day in question, for he assured her he had not, but she said she was positive the deceased said what she had stated. A person who lived in the house next to Brown, the deceased's father-in-law, deposed, that after the inquest had been adjourned the first day, he overheard Brown say to some female to whom he was conversing in his garden, " Never mind, you have only to stick to the same story, and it will be all right." Scvcral witnesses were then called to depose to the various threats made use of by the wife of the deceased towards him. Sophia Eastell, the person whom the wife of the deceased supposed- tb have been walking with him on the Sunday rderred Vo, was then examined. She de nied that she had ever been on any terms of intimacy with the deceased, or that there was the slightest ground for the suspicion entertained by the deceased's wife. The father and brother of Maria Brice were then called in and separately examined, but little informa tion was obtained. A woman named Pateman was called to prove that the deceased's w if e t o ld h er t h at she must not be sur prised if she heard a row—that she would do for her husband, and that she had looked out his carriers. Maria Brice here declared that she had not made use of any such expressions. The Coroner then, in consequence of the crowded state of the inquest room, adjourned the Court to the Sun inn, and after the Jury had re-assembled, he briefly addressed them. He observed that hi this case it was quite clear that the deceased died from the effects of poison, and that he had not administered that poison to himself, and there could be very little doubt but that he must have been murdered. The only question for the Jury was, whether the evidence would warrant them in charging any particular person with that offence, or whether they would return a general verdict of murder against some person unknown ; thus leaving the matter open for further investigation. The Court was then cleared, and at half-past one o'clock on F r id a y morn i ng the Jury returned a verdict of °'Wilful Murder against Maria Brice, the widow of the deceased."

A C OMMISSIONER (rising with forensic dignity).— Gentlemen, the Court, in this delicate emergency. tau - st take the whole concatenation of circumstances into .eonsiklyration. On one hand we have a respect able tradesman ready to swcar to his amount ; on the Other we itave a coalheaver who has nothing to allege. against it except his bare word. Can this intelligent Court entertain a doubt how to decide between an educated publican and an illiterate coalheaver? With its usual impartiality it will do justice bttwcen man and man ; and if ,there is a doubt record its verdict in favour of my cl?:-L-,'N'a is to say, in favour of the plaintiff.—(Sitting down.) Another COMMISSIONER (getting up)—l oppose my learned brother Commissioner, because I think a coal beaver quite as respectable as a' publican ; and though the coalheaver might, if he had been properly educated, have turned out a second Newton, yet the chances are equal that he would, like publicans who shall be name less, have acquired only the knowledge of working with greater skill the system of " double chalks." For this reason I shall certainly move that the plain tiff's demand be reduced to the sum admitted to 'be due by the coalheaver. r er bct 'bei nt,. dad Ole for Lrd • rO - 9%. ra ~` k
