Night after night is Sadler's Wells crowd. d by a most respectable and highly-attentive audience, • to witness the masterpieces of Shakspeare and our glorious dramatists, performed as they can now be performed at no other theatre in London. Since the commencement 'of the season the company has numbered amongst its members Phelps, Mrs. Warner, Miss Cooper, Marston, and John Webster ; more recently George Bennett has jointed them, and Sadler's Wells can now boast of the inort complete tragedy company that could, by possibility, at the pre sent moment be assembled within the walls of any metropolitan theatre. The audirnee part of the thea- • tre has been newly fitted up, and ti.e arrangements for the accom nodation of the visitors to the boxi-s, which are under the superintendence of our old friend Notter, are admirable. The tragedy of The Bridal, which was performed some few years since at Covent- garden, was produced here last evening with the most brilliant and the most deserved success. } It is an adaptation by Sheridan Knowles of Beau mont and Fletcher's Maid's Tragedy. This play, one of the most powerful and poetical compositions that ever was penned, and which is inferior only to the creations of Shakspeare, was laid aside at the Restoration, because it was considered to smack somewhat too strongly of disloyalty, and Waller, who adapted it to the stage, attempted to render it fit for representation by altering the de nouement, and making the king repent, instead of fall ing by the hand of Evadne; but the graceful, but feeble Waller, was no match for the masculine vigour of Beaumont, who is generally considered to have the principal hand in writing this tragedy; they were as ill-assorted as Amintor and Evadne. BValler's altera tions were soon forgotten, and the tragedy again ceased to be an acting play. About four years since it was revived by Macready, who entrusted Sheridan Knowles with the task of adapting it for representa tion. The task could not have been confided to fitter hands. Possessing the same heartiness of feeling, the same vigour of thought, the same vein of poetry as Beaumont himself, Knowles set about his labour of love—for to him it must have been a labour of love—l o the true spirit ;he has cut out a great deal, which would not be tolerated on the stage in these day s , and has added three scenes, but so thoroughly has he been imbued with Beaumont's spirit, and so artistically has he introduced his new matter, that a spectator who had never read the original would be Puzzled to discover where the alterations had been made. The cast last night was very strong. We had Phelps as Melantius, Marston as Amintor, Ix. Bennett as the King, Mrs. Warner as Evadne, Iliad Miss Cooper as Aspasia. Phelps, as Melantius, looked and acted the honourable, high-minded, courageous, but injured soldier, to the life. There was an intensity in his acting in the scene with Amintor, in which the latter discloses to him the cause of his sorrow, that told most effectively; and in the scene with Evadne, in which he taxes her with her guilt, and makes her swear to be revenged, he was quite appalling. %Ve know of no lady on the stage who could have personated the haughty Evadne so to the life as Mrs. Warner did. In the scenes with Melantius she was magnificent. 'We never saw Marston to greater advantage than in the character of Amintor. He seems to have made this line of character completely his own. George J 3 ennett, in the King, did that which he has so often done before —made a second-rate character of first ado by his excellent acting. Miss Cooper b u t little to do as Aspasia, but that little was pe p r- Tormed beautifully. Take it altogether, we know not when we have seen a tragedy acted so admirably as a whole—there was not a weak part in it. The cos tumes were magnificent and appropriate, and the play altogether was put upon the stage with the greatest attention. The applause was enthusiastic at the fall of the curtain, and Phelps and Mrs. Warner were called for and received with the customary honours. The house was crowded to suffocation in every part. bESCENT OF THE " MONSTER BALLOON." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Monday evening been Mr. Hampton's companion on olond a y evening in, the car of his " Monster Balloon," me to particularise the journey and descent. we left White Conduit• gardens with ease and a Moderate ascending power, and although the car con-, tained three cwt. of ballast, Mr. Hampton did not discharge an ounce of it, for the following reasons : In the first place the intrepid aeronaut studied to afford m e a good view of the metropolis ; the altitude the balloon attained, and the course she took, being calculated to produce the desired gratification. I Was enabled to gaze on this great city under very favourable circumstances. Beholding around me so Much that was grand and interesting, my trip, although short, was sweet, indeed. The novelties, entertainments, and beauties of London have fre quently afforded me amusement and instruction, but the enthusiasm and real delight I experienced in viewing its characteristic features, with their grandeur and various peculiarities, was a pleasure so great and impressive, that London has ascended in my estima - tinn through my having ascended from London. Mr. Hampton's second reason for not exceeding half a mile was this :--His balloon has very properly been designated a " Monster," and it being the first time she has ascended from London, he was desirous °f convincing the thousands who were beneath that She really merited that appropriate title. As the car contained three cwt. of ballast, the balloon had suffi cient power to take up four persons, and an ample a uPPIY of sand. Mr. Hampton, however, determined to take no stranger with him until after a second trial had been made of the improvements in his balloon, ;nich have already been mentioned in tae papers. The reason that I was favoured was owing to in „Li 'nnate acquaintance with Mr. Hampton, to the satis 'action I telt as to the strength and safety of the Machine, having observed its construction, and, more over' from a little ambition to be the first to ascend With the aeronaut in his " Monster Balloon." The descent of this new and splendid balloon was rfeeted w ith p er f e ct safety in a meadow belonging to Thomas Rust, of East Ham Hall, East Ham, about twenty minutes after our departure from the ftardens. The valve car, and other improvements, ac ted with satisfaction to Mr. Hampton. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, HENRY WELLS. t AGED OPERATIVE COTTON - SPINNERS .— , MF.

Duni.lN, AUc. 19.—The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day, in the Conciliation Hall. The chair as taken by R. Dillon Browne, Esq., M.P. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at same length on the Charitable Bequests Bill, which he denounced in ihe most emphatic terms, and stated that if the Irish Members had exhibited the least opposition to the mea sure, it would not have become the law of the land. In the course of the many interviews he had with Lord Eliot on the subject, his Lordship unequivocally stated that if it were the wish of the Irish Members, he would either withdraw the Bill, or, at all events, postpone it. Mr. DANIEL O'CoxNELL said, that before the business of the day co.imenced, he had to move a resolution adopted by the Parliamentary Committee, and which he was sure would meet with the hearty concurrence of the meeting. The Honourable Gentleman then read the fol lowing resolution, and moved its adoption:— " Parliamentary Committee, Loyal National Repeal Asmiciation, Corn Exchange Rooms, Dublin, Aug. 16. " Resolved—That we cannot separate, even for a short period, without our most marked and grateful thanks to our respected Chairman, William Smith O'Brien, Esq , ALP., tor the services which he has n-ndered to Ireland, not only by his powerful and unanswerable advocacy of the rights of his country in Parliament, but for the still greater benefits he has conferred upon us by his con stant and unremitted attendance upon this (the Parlia mentary) Committee, whereby we were enabled to get through a vast quantity of business of the highest im portance to the repeal cause ; which, but for his most invaluable assistance, we never could have accomplished. Passed unanimously. " THOMAS DAVIS, Chairman." The country knew full well the value of the services of Mr. Smith O'Brien—they were beyond all praise. Dr. MURPHY seconded the adoption of the resolution, which passed amidst the loudest demonstrations of applause. Mr. O'CONNELL handed in several remittances— amongst them 35/. from Liverpool, and 2001. from Hali fax, Nova Scotia. He then read the following letter from Mr. W. T. Wyse, M.l'.: •' 17, Wilton-place, Belgrave-square, Aug. 10. " Dear Sir,—Permit me to return my grateful ac knowledgments for the honour which has been done me and my fellow Members who supported my motion for an inquiry into the facts connected with the formation of the jury at tke late state trials in Ireland, by the vote of thanks passed unanimously at your meeting of last Monday, and of which a copy has just reached me. I earnestly wish it had been in my power to have esta blished some stronger claim to public gratitude than the honest, but successless effort to vindicate trial by jury, from even the suspicion of partiality, and an attempt to obtain at least an inquiry into allegations, which, if true, as I believe them to be, go far to vitiate the whole proceedings, and inflict a serious injury, not only on Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-sufferers, but on the tights of all, and the cause itself of public justice. These opi nions I entertained, and entertain, and shall never cease to say so—until met by some stronger argument than assertion—both in and out of Parliament. " Thanking you personally for the courtesy of your communication, I beg you to believe me, dear Sir, " Your faithful and obedient servant, " THOS. WYSE. " Martin Crean, Esq., Acting Secretary, Repeal Association, Dublin." Mr. T. APNEvEs . (barrister) brought forward a report on the " hurrying of Bills thrciugh Parliament," and then commented on the indecent haste with which measures, particularly those having reference to Ireland, were passed on the termination of the session, whilst the early part of it was spent with little or no advantage to the country. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the alteration in the sentiments of Sir Robert Peel towards Ireland, and expressed his conviction that they could not expect sincerity from a Statesman educated in the school of an Eldon. Sir V. BLAKE, ALP., read a letter from Dr. WHale, Archbishop of Tuum, and moved its insertion on the minutes. Mr. O'CoNNELL then rose to make his weekly return from the prison. Ile had to repeat his usual report of the health and spirits of the imprisoned martyrs. They were perfectly well and full of hope. It was likely, in all appearance, that England would want the lion heart and stout arm of Ireland, and she could easily procure both the one and the other, not by the means of the plausible hypocrisy and sweet words of Sir Robert Peel, but by the substantial instru mentality of doing justice to the Irish. He could state of his own knowledge that Mr. O'Connell felt the deepest regret at not being present in the Repeal Association that day, to join in the vote of national gra titude to Mr. smith O'Brien. His opinion, he knew, was, that it was not possible to find words sufficiently strong to mark the pre-eminent value of that gentleman's services in the cause of Ireland. He thought it quite providential that a gentleman of Mr. Smith O'Brien's high character, rank, family, and station in society, and of his great talents and unimpeachable personal and po litical integrity should be at the head of the repeal movement at the present moment. It was of the greatest advantage that the leader of the repeal movement at pre sent should be a Protestant gentleman of ancient family. Mr. Smith O'Brien, therefore, had all the ingredients of great public utility, and he had sterling patriotism to ren der these ingredients available for Ireland. He could state it to be the opinion of Mr. O'Connell that the Association should take steps to get as many persons as possible, not being already pledged teetotallers, to take the abstinence pledge for a limited period—that is, until the repeal of the union. Mr. O'Connell had consulted Father Mathew, who approved of the limited plan for those who would not take the pledge for life. Four of Mr. O'Connell's grandsons had already taken it in the limited shape, and Mr. Smith O'Brien upon his return from the country would probably shape a motion for an aggregate meet ing at Clontarf, or some other suitable vicinity, to ad minister " The Repeal Total Abstinence Pledge." He had also reason to know that Mr. O'Connell con curred in another suggestion of Mr, Smith O'Brien, to have another pledge taken, as universally as possible, against the consumption of tobacco in any shape until the repeal of the union. That pledge, if universally, or even generally taken, would have a great effect upon the minds of British statesmen in favour of doing justice to Ireland. He knew that it was the intention of Mr. O'Connell himself, upon the 30th of May, 1845, to in stitute a pledge for the non-consumption of exciseable articles in Ireland, and also a pledge for the non-use of any article not of Irish manufacture. All these pledges would be upon the same footing as the total abstinence pledge. In reporting to the Association the state of the imprisoned martyrs, he had distinctly to state, of his own knowledge, that nothing could give more pleasure and comfort to them than the continued tranquillity of Ire land. How insane must the policy of the British Minis ter be to think that he can delude such a people by hypo critical pretences and plausible words, and how much more than insane must he be to refuse that people jus tice and constitutional freedom. _ Mr. HENRY GRATTAN, ‘I.P., read the correspondence which had taken place between Mr. Smith O'Brien and the Secretary of the Agricultural Society, and moved its insertion on the minutes. The Hun. Gentleman then addressed the meeting at considerable length, adverting to a variety of topics, with a view of showing that there was no hope for Ireland save in the restoration of her domestic legislature. Mr. MARE BLAKE, M.P., handed in a sum of money from the county of Mayo. Mr. 0 - CoNNEiI. handed in 301. from Prince Edward's Island, and from Milwankie, Wisconsin, United States, America, 91. per Richard Murphy, Esq., secretary, who says—" While we (the repeaters of Milwankie) sin cerely condole with your friends throughout the world at your (Mr. O'Connell's) imprisonment—one of the foulest acts of British tyranny—we rejoice in the confident hope that, though you suffer, your incarceration will beget the peace and freedom of Ireland. A world's sympathy is not to be disregarded—a fact which the Tory Ministry may yet learn ; and that they have done an act tending more than any other to excite that sym pathy seems to us evident." Mr. J. REILLY, town councillor, handed in several sums of money, forwarded to him for presentation, and then addressed the meeting. Mr. O'CoNNELL then announced the receipt of the following sums from America :—Montreal, 125/. ; New Brunswick, 100/. ; St. John's, 1401. He then said it would be in the recollection of the meeting that a bill of exchange for 1781. 14s. 9d. had been returned to New Orleans, in consequence of some matter which was con tained in the letter which accompanied that remittance, recommending the adoption of measures which would have the effect of compromising their allegiance. Their friends in New Orleans had acknowledged their error, and now forwarded them the sum of 2421., accompanied by the following letter : " New Orleans, July 19, 1844. " Dear Sir,—We have received your valued letter of the Ist ult., in which you return us the bill of exchange for 1781. 14s. 9d., transmitted to you in aid of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland. We have care fully perused the reasons for which Mr. O'Connell would not receive this slender but well-meant contribution, and we have come to the conclusion that the elevated and patriotic motives of the repeal question have not been properly understood by our Society here. " I find, and indeed I may safely say we have all found, that the basis of this all-important question is founded upon such just, peaceable, and patriotic principles, that to pervert them would not only endanger this righteous cause, but at the same time jeopardise those valuable lives, which are at present shedding so bright a lustre on the glory of Ireland. " In the name of the Repeal Association, I beg to state that we regret deeply that the resolutions accompanying the former remittance were of such a nature as to pre clude the possibility of their being received; and in order to prove that, although wrongly expressed, they were still well meant, we beg leave, most respectfully, to in close 242 L In conclusion, pray that the God of Justice may bless the fortunes of repeal.' clo r' e l youthesum " GEORGE W. REEDER, " Corresponding Secretary of the Repeal Asso ciation of New Orleans. " Martin Crean, Esq." After some further business, Mr. Henry Grattan an nounced the rent for the week, 1,1621. 3s. 9d. The meeting then adjourned. INSPECTION OP THE REVENUE CRUISERS. This day the splendid flew of revenue cruisers now assembled in the Bay of Dublin, were inspected by the Lord Lieutenant, His Excellency reached Kingstown about twelve o'clock, and, after some conversation with Mr. J. Vim, jun., the treasurer of the Dublin and Kingstown Rail way, and Mr. G. Roe, one of the directors, respecting the atmospheric line to Dalkey, which has excited so much interest in all parts of Europe, embarked on board the revenue brig Shamrock, Captain Goldsmith, R.N., , and sailed into the bay, where the fleet of cruisers went I through various evolution.% The Commodore, Sir J. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 22 1844 Dombrain, ,and the Vice-commodore, Captain Bowie, were in atten dance upon his Excellency. The jetty at; Kingstown was crowded with people. CHARGE OF SEDITION. At Galway sessions, on Friday, Joseph Keys, a man of colour, who bad been forcibly ejected from a temper ance room, for having delivered a seditious speech to the members, was brought up in custody. Mr. John Tyrrell, repeal warden, stated that he was, on the evening of Tuesday the 6th instant, at the Parent Temperance Itoom, end that while the band was prac tising the prisoner entered, and, calling for silence, ob served that he was one of those who owed their emanci pation to Mr. O'Connell, who was then in prison ; that the repeal would be had, but not until their repeal but tons were fling aside, and the sword and pitchfork taken up first. Witness, on hearing this language, called upon the persons present to put out the prisoner, which was done at once. Other witnesses corroborated this statement. The prisoner then stated that he was a sailor, and lived last at Newtown Forbes, three miles from Longford where he was repairing a boatohat he came to Galway on the sth instant, in expectation he might get employ ment in a ship. He recollected he had been at the Tem perance Rooms, but not what he had said ; and it was evident that unless he were tipsy he would not have gone among strangers, or done what was imputed to him. Mr. G RIFFITH, one of the magistrates, said, it was the opinion of himself and Mr. Icirnan, that the prisoner ought not to be committed forTtrial on the charge, but bound in his own recognizaneWof 201. to keep the peace for seven years. The prisoner then entered into his own recognizames, and was liberated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD RACES.—WEDNESDAY. Her Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas. Heats , two mi l es.

The gentlemen of this highly-respectable club rowed their scratch match on Tuesday, which was well contested, and numerously attended by the friends of the several parties engaged in the race and others connected with aquatic sports. The distance was from Vauxhall to Putney, the competitors thus escaping much of the incon venience they might otherwise have sustained from the steamers and craft moored in Lambeth-reach. All being in readiness they got away at about half-past six. Messrs. Hudson and Scott (Pink) 1 Messrs. Plunket and Johnson (Red) 2 Messrs. Darby and Andrews (Light Blue) 3 Messrs. Duplan and Young (Green) 0 The start was well effected, and the whole party were oar and oar for a few strokes ; Light Blue then showed in advance, Pink being second, and the other two abreast of each other. Shortly after the start, Green in the heat of the race was fouled by a boat which was in their course, and in consequence of this she took so much water in at her stern that her occupants were obliged to leave her, having thus lost all chance in the match. Off the gas. works Pink went up to Light Blue, and after a couple of minutes' sharp rowing went by them and re taining the lead won by about fifty yards. Light Blue gave place to Red in the lower part of Chelsea-reach. THE NAUTILUS BOAT RACE. A very excellent race came off on Tuesday amongst the members of the Nautilus Club, Bankside. The gentle men who contended in this, as in the above, were drawn by lottery, and the award of victory was two silver cups. It was started about half an hour after the Westminster Aquatics, on the same course, and was not unequal in interest to the one which had preceded it. Messrs. Smith and F. Chantler.., (White) 1 Messrs. T. Plempton and E. Plempton (Blue) 2 Messrs. E. Chantler and A Corbold (Red) 3 Messrs. Carmichael and Dawson (Green) 0 The first mile and a half was contested with great spirit, and exhibited not only much skill, but considerable game and power. They all got away together, but im mediately afterwards Blue took the lead, and held it right up the reach, pressed throughout the distance by White, both setting to their work and rowing with much spirit. On nearing Battersea-bridge White drew ahead of their opponents, and kept the lead right to the winning post, first passing through Putney-bridge by half a minute. The wind set heavily against the tide, and the whole of the party shipped a great deal of water in their way up, Green, indeed, so much, that they might have been con sidered out of the race ere their arrival at Wandsworth, where they were almost swamped. SCULLERS' RACE AT PUTNEY. _ _ - - - Six young watermen, two or three of whom could not have exceeded 17 years of age, rowed on Tuesday for a purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the residents at Put ney, Roehampton, and its vicinity. It is unnecessary to say that it created but very little interest, and that only amongst the parties themselves or those nearly related. It was with six competitors, in three heats, and was won by Charles Green (stripes.) Viscount Cranbourne, eldest son of the Marquis oi Salisbury, accompanied by his doctor and courier, left the Tower yesterday morning by the mail steam-ship Countess of Lonsdale, for llamburgh. This young no bleman is one of our greatest travellers, having visited all the chief places throughout the globe, and is now en route to China, traversing the more remote parts of Rus sia on his way, and returning by the overland journey to England. TIIE PUBLIC PARIS AT MANCIIESTER.—The Liver pool Times says :—" The subscription at Manchester for the purpose of forming parks and public walks for the use of the labouring classes, now amounts to upwards of 9,2004, and it is expected that three or four times that sum will be raised. This is the best, because the most practical and conclusive, answer that could be given to the charges of selfishness and indifference to the interests of the poor directed against the manufacturers of Man chester, by monopolist orators and journalists. Should the present noble undertaking be completed in the style in which it is expected to be, and that within a year of the revival of the cotton trade from its recent deep de pression, it will remain for ages a monument of the gene , rosity and humanity of the manufacturers of Manches ter, and an example worthy of the imitation of all other classes." BLAIRGOWRIE.—WANTON AlisonEr.—About ten days ago a party of young men from Dundee, while visiting the beautiful grounds and walks of Craighall Rattray, destroyed several choice flowers, and on being remonstrated with, they gave the gardener, Mr. M'Laren (a very civil and obliging man), the most gross abuse. Not content, they then proceeded through the walks, and broke several young trees. The result now is, that the proprietor. Mr. C. Rattray, has prohibited access to all persons not having his written permission. Last week, about sixty ladies and gentlemen presented themselves at the gate, but not having any authority, they were de nied admission to the grounds.—Scotch Paper. FOREIGN FRUIT.—The Sphinx steamer, which ar rived in the river from Havre on Monday night, had nearly 700 packages of plums on board, about twenty of the baskets containing common plums, the remainder consisting entirely of greengages, quite ripe and in good condition, which were landed at the St. Katharine Steam-wharf, immediately, under the new regulations affecting the importation of fruit from the Continent, and cleared for the London markets, in a perfectly sound state. _ _ STATE or TRADE AT MANcursTra.—There was rather less buoyancy in the market yesterday ; and prices of some descriptions of goods were a shade lower than last week. In reeled yarn, there was no change of price; but the demand was not quite so active as during the two or three preceding weeks.. ROCHDALE LANNEL MARKET, Aua. 19.—This being the day of the wakes, fewer buyers have attended, and the business transacted has been more limited than last week. The Wool Market continues steady and prices , &in.—Manchester Guardian. MEDICAL PRACTICE. A BILL FOR THE BETTER REGULATION OF - MEDICAL PRACTICE THROUGHOUT THE - UNITED KINGDOM.

THE CASE OF HOMICIDE ON BOARD THE THOMAS BENNETT.—LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The prisoner, John Kent, who has been remanded from last week on a charge of killing Captain Halsq, and who has since been acquitted by the verdict of a Coroner's jury, was again brought up at the police-court yesterday. Mr. Rushton, w►thout making any comment, again remanded him. until this day, the American authorities in this country not having yet made up their minds for his re lease; to which, however, it is probable, after the full and impartial investigations which have taken place, they will eventually accede. SAVOY CHURCH, STRAND.—It is gratifying to find, after the renovation of this beautiful little Chapel Royal, at a great expense, through the splendid munifi cence of her most gracious Majesty, that it is increasing in interest daily, having recently added to the excellent instrument, the organ, an efficient choir, by which the delightful service of the church is performed with beauti ful effect. BURGH-UPON-SANDS, CUMBERLAND.—The Earl of Lonsdale, the Postmaster-General, on Friday last, ac companied by another nobleman, visited Burgh-upon- Sands, of which barony his Lordship is lord paramount, to inspect the large embankment now making, for the purpose of preventing the further encroachments of the tide of the Solway Frith, occasioned by overflowing and washing away the soil of a part of 2,000 acres of marsh land of excellent quality. THE ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH.—Some idea may be formed of the immense resources of this country in the munitions of war, when it is known that in a time of peace about 2,000 large pieces of iron ordnance, of various calibres, are supplied by foundries in Yorkshire every year for the use of her Majesty's services, and to replace those in the least degree unfit for the duty re quired of them at home and on foreign fortified stations. Age and exposure to the weather render many of the large guns unserviceable, but the greater number set aside are replaced as opportunities offer by new guns, constructed on improved principles for carrying longer ranges than had been previously obtained by guns of the same dimensions of bore. The weight has been also considerably diminished, and, consequently, they are more easily worked; and by proportioning the various parts, and strengthening the breeches by giving them a greater body of metal, they are rendered more efficient, and have less recoil. Nine 32-pounders have been se lected, and they are at present lying on the wharf of the Royal Arsenal, to be shipped in the Somerset ordnance vessel for Portsmouth. Thirty-five 24-pounders have been selected for Devonport, and twenty-nine 24-poun ders for Chatham, and will be forwarded to these ports without delay. The East India Company have also ready for shipment twenty-five 8-inch guns, weighing about 65 cwt. each, thirty 32-pounders, and twenty-four 24-pounders, all of Monk's pattern, with four 8-inch mortars, for service in the East Indies. A JUDGE MISSING.—At the termination of the Middlesex Sessions on Monday afternoon, Mr. Sergeant Adams directed the crier to adjourn the Court until ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, at the Guildhall, West minster. The usual proclamation was made, enjoining the attendance of all persons at the before-mentioned hour. At ten o'clock Mr. Allen, the county treasurer, attended the Sessions-house, as well as an inspector of the S division, a sergeant, and three constables of the A division, appointed to maintain order in the Court. The Clerk of the Peace remained for upwards of an hour looking in vain for a Judge, and at the expiration of that time his patience became exhausted, and he quitted the Court. The police remained until nearly twelve o'clock, when the doors of the Sessions-house were closed without any business having been transacted, and the officers returned to Great Scotland-yard to report that fact. Some fears were entertained that the Learned Judge had met with some serious and sudden accident, but upon inquiry at his residence it was ascertained that he had left for the country. It is understood that some difficulties will arise in connexion with the business of the Session through this singular mistake. The Duke of Buccleuch arrived at Montagu House, on Tuesday evening, from Boughton House, near Kettering. The mortal remains of Lady Anne Scott were removed to the above seat on Monday, from Leamington Spa, and were yesterday deposited in a vault at Kettering Church, the Noble Duke and other immediate relatives of the deceased lady attending the funeral. The Duchess and family have arrived at Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfries-shire, intending to reside there some weeks and then go to Dalkeith Palace for the winter. MAIDSTONE AND SOUTH-EASTERN BRANCH RAIL WAY.--We understand it was intended to have opened our branch to the South-Eastern in the first week of the ensuing month, but in consequence of the late rains, the opening will be probably deferred for a few days. — Maidstone Gazette. The body of a newly-born female infant was found in the churchyard at Brighton on Tuesday morning. It was wrapped in a tablecloth, and was not cold. There were no marks of violence discernible. TRADE WITH SPAIN.—In pursuance of directions from the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, the collectors and comptrollers at the several ports of the kingdom have been ordered to make a re turn of the Spanish vessels at their respective ports ; and also to specify if there are any, and if so what, local charges or dues at their several ports applicable to Spanish ships over and above such as are paid upon British. AUGUST 21. There were a number of cases on the paper this day before Mr. Commissioner Fane and Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, but none of those which were heard con tained one feature of interest to any excepting the par ties immediately concerned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 19. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) Joshua Foster and Thomas Smith, neither more than eighteen years of age, were indicted for robbing John Davies, ensign in the 32d Regiment, of his watch. Mr. Cardwell conducted the prosecution ; the pri soners were defended by Mr. Wilkins. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Davies, a young gentleman, about nineteen years of age, that, on the evening of the 2d of April last, he was returning to the barracks in Manchester, and passing along in front of the infirmary in company with two other officers, both younger than himself, when they were suddenly, with out any provocation, set upon by several persons. The parties met them and passed, but immediately turned round and attacked them from behind. Mr. Davies was first struck on the side of the head, and knocked down, but recovered his feet, and was a second time thrown to the ground. While getting up the second time, one of the assailants put his hand inside the prosecutor's coat and pulled out his watch. The guard broke, and the watch fell on the pavement. Mr. Davies picked it up, put it in his pocket, and closed with one of the attacking party, whom he recognised as Foster. A policeman, hearing the disturbance, came up, and same one calling out " Joe, here's the peelers," Foster ran away. He was pursued by the policeman, and caught, but he succeeded in breaking from the officer's hold and making off. He was again pursued and taken, Mr. Davies never having lost sight of him. The other assailants ran away. Mr. Laurie and another gentleman, both very young, who were in the company of the prosecutor, corroboratd this statement. They were unable to identify any of the parties. Mr. Laurie, it was admitted, was rather fresh, and had spoken in a jocular way to several ladies of a certain class whom they had met. He denied, however, that he bad spoken to or in any way insulted two women who were in company with the men by whom they were attacked. A female of a certain class, who came up while the scuffle was going on, identified Smith as one of the party. He was striking at one of the officers. His LORDSHIP, at the close of the case for the prose cution, intimated that he did not think there was any case against Smith. In summing up, he left it to The jury to say whether they thought there was an intention to rob these par ties, or whether the watch had been pulled by the guard out of the prosesutor's pocket in the course of a scuffle arising out of some affront, real or supposed, and not begun with any intention of committing a robbery.— Verdict, Not Guilty. James Connor was indicted for burglariously entering the house of Frank Haward, at Staleybridge, with in tent to steal. Mr. Whigham conducted the prosecution. The pri soner was defended by Mr. Monk. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that he is a dealer in rags at Staleybridge, and occupies a house of eight rooms, of which, however, only two of those below are occupied—one as a stable, and the other by himself. On Tuesday, the 21st of May, he had gone to Manchester with a quantity of rags, for which he, as usual, was paid in ready money. The prisoner saw him set off in the morning, and return in the evening. The prisoner had been frequently at the house of the prosecutor selling rags. On the evening of that day the prosecutor retired to rest about ten o'clock. A person of the name of Hayes slept with him. There was very little furniture in the house—merely a bed and an old hamper. His trousers, containing his money, were put under his head. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a noise in the room, and looking up he saw, indistinctly, a man about the middle size standing at the foot of the stairs leading to the upper rooms. The man, seeing that the inmates were alarmed, ran up stairs, and the prosecutor could then perceive he had no shoes on. While Hayes and the prosecutor were putting on their trousers, they heard the person getting out of the win dow. The glass was broken, and the party could from the window readily get on the roof of a. pigstye, and from thence into a yard communicating with the next street. They went out of the house, and took different directions, for the purpose of, if possible, intercepting the intruder. Hayes went round to the back, and saw a person whom he believed to be the prisoner coining out of the yard. He was, however, unable to seize him. Near the door of the prosecutor was found a pair of shoes, which were very positively sworn to by a person who lived in the same house with the prisoner as a pair which he (witness) had sold to him. Verdict. Guilty.—To be imprisoned for twelve months. Ja:nes ilowarth, aged 19, was indicted for a burglary in the house of James Howarth, at Walmesley-cum- Shuttleworth. The prisoner, it appeared, was a distant relation ef the prosecutor, and had, sumo time before this occurrence, been on a visit with him. It appeared that, taking ad vantage of the knowledge thus acquired, he took an opportunity of breaking into the house and carrying away a sum of 701. in silver, besides a few guineas and notes, to the amount of upwards of 4001., which were in a box at the head of the stairs. The silver he spent, but the guineas were found in his possession. The notes, with the box in which they were contained, he had put at the foot of the hedge near the prosecutor's house, and they were, on the prisoner's information, found there after he was taken into custody.—Guilty. To be imprisoned for twelve calendar months. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)

Saunders, one of the factory inspectors, for the quarter ending 31st March last, are the following passages :—" In March, 1843, some mill-occupiers complained they could not get a sufficient supply of hands. The numbers at that time employed in twelve silk mills of Derby were 1,552 adults, 759 young persons, and 698 children, making a total of 3,009. In March, 1844, four mills which had been closed for some time, were at work in addition to the others ; and the total numbers employed were 2,186 adults, 1,0:9 young persons, and 1,064 children, making a total of 4,329—the increase in one year having been 634 adults, 320 young persons, and 366 children, making a total of 1,320 persons. This increased employment has been, I believe, almost entirely owing to the manufac ture of a a fancy trimming article called gimp. lam , told that a great portion of this labour has been sup plied by families who had been induced to remove into Derby in consequence of such demand. Some of the silk throwsters in Derby complain now, as they did in 1843, that they have a difficulty in obtaining a supply of hands This I conceive to be in a great measure accounted for by the fact, that each mill-occupier wishes to get experienced hands, who of course are scarce, and must remain so especially during the time of an increasing demand for them. I am well convinced there are still in Derby, many children whose labour will be made available if the demand continues or is increased, and this I think established by reference simply to two details to which I will briefly advert. Of 1,064 children now employed, there are only 366 boys, and the remaining 694 are all girls. The latter are preferred in mills, because they are more easily con trolled than boys, and will generally do more and better work than them. Again, of the 1,064 children under 13, the numbers between 11 and 12 are 633, and those under 11 only 431. As it will be still open to the silk-throwste r to employ children as young as 8, it must be evident that a much larger supply of children under 11 can be ob tained than are now employed ; and these will gradually be taken up if all under 13 are limited to half -days, and the parents find the children so emp loyed receive as sound and useful an education as others who attend school twice a day, and are not employed at all." BurroN.—Earl and Countess De Grey intend to prolong their sojourn at the Great Hotel, to the middle of next month. The 'lon. Colonel Dawson Darner, Mr. William Beckett, MS', sir Evan Lloyd and D owager Lady Trimlestown, Sir George and Lady Philips, and Mr. Langford Brooke are among the visitors at that establishment. Lady Charlotte Greville, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Peel, Lady Hoare, and Sir Tho mas an d L a d y Briggs have recently arrived. ANGLING. —Last week was the best of the season for anglers. Sir Richard Sutton, Bart., caught 50 sal mon and grilses—one day's take in the Inver, amount ing. to 9 ; another day at the Beauly 5, one of the fish weighing 171bs. J. M.

One of the Londonderry steamers brought over 1,500 at a trip. The Fire King had a cargo of 1,000; and the other Belfast steamers, we understand, were also crowded. In addition to these, a number were brought to the city by the Ayrshire Rail , way. In all, not fewer than 10,000 Irish reapers have this week passed through this city for the Lothians, &c. —Glasgow 'Saturday Post. OLDIE V. GARDINER. This was an action on the case against an attorney for negligence. Mr. Martin and Mr. Robinson far the plaintiff ; Mr. Knowles, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Cowling for the de fendant. The plaintiff in this case had formerly been an artist, and had, in the exercise of his profession, saved a sum of about 3001. Ile subsequently entered the church, and in the beginning of the year 1840 he wrote to the de fendant, a solicitor, with whom he had for some time been acquainted, to consult him about an investment for this sum. The defendant directed him to pay the money into Barclay, Tritton, and Co.'s Bank to the defendant credit with the Lancaster Bank, and shortly after wrote to say that he had obtained an eligible investment on the wjnt and several bond of two persons of the name of ines, father and son, the elder being a farmer at Chip ping, near Clithero, and the younger keeping a shop as a chemist and druggist at Manchester. He described the father as possessed of a nice estate, and the son as having married into a respectable family. The de fendant, it appeared, had subsequently lent the same parties 9 001. on his own account. It proved that the farm cultivated by Mr. Baines the elder, he Lad in right of his wife, by whose father it was left to her for life, and after her death to her children. The son carried on business for some time at Manchester, but failed in qualifying as a surgeon, fell into difficulties, and was finally obliged to give up his shop—his wife, who was of a respectable family, but who brought hint no fortune, being obliged to go back to her friends. It appeared, too, that at the time the money was lent, the father was not in good credit, and proved unable to repay it. Mr. KNOWLES addressed the jury for the defendant. contending that the services which he had sought to perform for the plaintiff were those of friendly advice, and not in the course of his business as an attorney ; and that therefore he was not required to do more than take the same care in investing the money of the plain tiff as he had done in investing his own. His Lordship summed up, and The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Das mages, 3001. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 19. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Sergeant ATCUERLIT.) This morning having been specially appointed for the disposal of the charges of rapes and unnatural offences comprised in the calendar, they were accordingly taken at the sitting of the Court, and as they were more than usually numerous, they occupied nearly the whole of the day. Samuel Pates was indicted for an unnatural crime, committed with a mare at Charlton Kings, on the 4th of July last. Mr. Skinner prosecuted ; Mr. Cooke defended the prisoner. The evidence was incomplete, and the accused was accordingly acquitted. Robert Crook was indicted for a similar offence, corn• mitted on the 6th of May last, at Bourton - on-the-hill, in this county. Mr. Skinner prosecuted ; Mr. Iluddleston defended. The details of this horrible case do not, of course, admit of recapitulation ; suffice it to say, that it ter minated in a conviction, and that sentence of death was immediately recorded. _ . The above two cases, and the investigation of a charge of rape, occupied the time of the Court during the whole day. There still remain six similar cases, which will be taken to-morrow. inbnt
