Since our last another letter has been received by Mr. J. Macvicar, the boroughreeve of Manchester, from Monsieur De Beriot, on the sti.'L . .' i 'net of the exhumation of the remains of his lament-L.: , wifel The lettet, which is dated Brussels, Oct t':n, acid which wo.; posted at Liverpool on Sunday , last, M. tie Piennes and the courier being then (and we believe yet) in that town, was received by the harm - I:reeve on Monday. It was ereseirt - , o earnest suppli• cation, and commences by stating that the writer has just learned all the honours which been iervici'cd to the memory of his beloved Aik. and by ex i'essint; his sincere e acknowledgments to the boroughrec've dr tht Part which he had taken therein. Sufferink tn. 3 IMich himself to re turn to Manchester ) 14 throws himself oh the kindness of Mr. Macvicar tecond him i n th e dearest d e si re o f hi:, . heart, `,; j otaining which he appears ttl siippose that the bor - Jughreeve's authority tkli-powerful, that of transporting the loved remiiis t`,), his own country. This vow (van),* whiel+ lit' had formed, he says is the only consolation re maining to him, and if he cannot accomplish it his whole life will be wretched. He therefore entreats the borough reeve to do him the favour to grant him his protection in this sad affair. Being too ill, he says, to write in the first instance himself, h e had commissioned his sister to make known his intentions to Mr. Beale. That letter not com ing direct from himself, it had not been thought right to attend to it, although it had arrived at Manchester before he interment. After repeating his request, and his assur ance of " eternal acknowledgment," M. de Beriot adds in a postscript, that his relative M. de Fiennes, who would present the letter, wait authorised to represent himself (de Berint) in Manchester. Meanwhile the Festival Committee, a few days ago, ad dressed a letter to the Clergy of the Collegiate Church, requesting to know what was the course necessary to obtain the requisite permission from the proper ecclesiastical au thorities for the exhumation of the body. The Reverend Richard Parkinson, M.A., one of the Fellows, accord ingly wrote to Mr. Warde, Deputy Registrar of the Ec clesiastical Court of Chester, and that functionary, in his reply, states that the corpse cannot be legally disinterred, without a faculty, which instrument, he adds, is usually granted in these cases by the Chancellor of the diocese (the Rev. R. Raikes), merely upon petition, unless a caveat is entered against it. This letter Mr. Parkinson communi cated yesterday (through the Boroughreeve) to Mr. Beale and the Musical Committee, and we understand that the Rev. Gentleman has also promised to transmit a copy of Mr. Ward's letter, through Mr. J. F. Foster, to the cou rier and relation of M. de Beriot. We understand that the Festival Committee met again to-day, and we presume that they will then decide as to the propriety of entering a caveat against the issuing of any faculty for the disinterment of the remains of Madame Malibran de Beriot. • Vceu means rather an earnest wish than a vow.

Immediately after the collision between the Magnet and Red Rover steam-vessels, an application was made by the proprietors to the Lords of the Admiralty, requesting the use of gear from the dockyard at Sheerness, for the pur pose of raising' the latte:t tessel, On Wednesday morning an order from the Admifaity to that effect was received by Admiral Fleming, the Port-Admiral, who immediately directed that every assistance should be rendered the pro prietors in furtherance of their purpose. During that day :, , ltains, coals, &c., were got out. O n Thurs day Messrs. Brown, Wiggins, and Jones, the owners o Jted lioyeTi accompanied by Wallace, Bell, a r and WOO, Vie Whitstable and Herne Bay divers, pro ceed.,l i n t h e :t . .er Johnny steamer to the wreck, description. They were with Cliairig dfo or shortly afterwards joirieu tly ternmoving lighter s from his Majesty's Dock-yard, %chid) wer e sneed,ilY moored one on each side of the spot where tin: sunken vessel was lyin g . The divers then shackled fo ur lengths of two-irich cable chains, one to each end of the paddle-box beams, after which they swept her fore and aft. A man named James Dowries, who until within the last year was a labouring man at Herne Bay, thee offered to descend and fasten a chain round the engines of the Red Royer, which he contended would be a far more effectual mode of raising her then any other. The proprietors knowing that he had latterly 13citi great attention to the raising of vessels, and also that he had fer six hours been engaged in examining the engine, &c., of the City of Can terbury steamer, which is afire simile of the Red Boyer, gladly accepted the offer. Dowries having put on a pa tent safety dress, accordingly descended shortly before five o'clock, and astonishing to say, accomplished his Her culean task, haying rivetted a massive chain rourid the shaft and frame-work of the engines, in the space of one hour and three-quarters, during the whole of which time he was under water. On being drawn up he appeared much exhausted, his hands being severely cut, aid his person otherwise injured. The order was then given for weighing, and we arc happy to say that the project an swered completely, for at seven o'clock the vessel was afloat. The greatest praise is due to Downes for his exertions, it being the first time any vessel was raised in such a manner. It has been ascertained that at the time of the accident the Red Rover was pursuing her right position, being within three-quarters of a mile of the Nore Light, a course which she would have taken had it been the clearest day. During yesterday she was towed towards Sheerness, where she is expected to arrive in the courso of this day. Several other steamers and other craft were in attendance, to witness the interesting spectacle. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. DEPLORABLE LOSS OF LIFE. Extract of a letter from a merchant at the Havannab, to a gentleman at Portstrenith i dated Gth September last : " During my long residence iii this city, I scarcely, if ever, remember a shipwreck more disastrous and afflicting in its consequenvs than one which has occurred a few days previous to my writing, upon our coast, about fifteen leagues to the eastward, and which has caused a very consi derable and painful sensation here, us I have no doubt it has at several ports at the west end of the island of Ja maica. In consequenet of some of the survivors of the ill fated vessel being at present in our city, with whom I have conversed respecting the melancholy catastrophe, I am enabled to state particulars that may be relied on. It ap pears that on the 24th of August, the Medusa, a fin.' barque of three hundred and twenty tons burden, commanded by Captain James O'Neil, sailed from Port Morant, at the 'ast side of Jamaica, for Kinsale, in Ireland ; her cargo of rum, sugar, indigo, pimento, and cedar ; she consistsj embarked I t abrn and eight steerage paSsengers, the for mer of which were I:2.rnilies of great respectability ; she was manned with a crew of It ; ood hands, independent of the Captain and Mates. It was the intention of Cap tain O'Neil to go home by the windward passage, between Saint Domingo and Margeetta, and for several days the Medusa was beating i 0 windward to effect her purpose, but owing to strong north east gales which prevail in these latitudes at this season of the year, he was unable to proceed, and when distant about six leagues from Cape Tiberon, the westermost point of St. Domingo, he bore up, and resolved to go the leeward pas sage through the Graph of Florida, and by the banks of Newfoundland. In the vessel's passage to the east ward of Jamaica she encountered very tremendnus wea ther, and the Captain endeavoured either to make Port Royal, or Bluefields, but was unable. On the night -cf the Ist of September the Medusa passed a large merchant ves sel totally dismasted, but from the heavy sea that was rtni-- ning at the time, they were unable to speak each other. The distressed vessel fired signals of distress. On the morning of the 2d of September, no traces of her was to be seen from the topgallant-mastheads of the Medusa, who was still going before the wind at 13 knots, under a close reefed foresail and mizen staysail. At this time the Mon tego Bag was to leeward considerably, and before darkness on the 2d the land of the Grand Caymans was discerned through the thick haze. At this time the weather had in creased to a mere hurricane, and the Medusa laid-to with her head to the wind, under two storm trysails, with her topgallant-'oasts struck. During the night of the second, the most I.atense anxiety and , fearful ap prehensions prevailed on board. Captain O'Neil not having a thorough knowledge of this m ove°, greatly dreaded the Grand Cayman, the land of whit.' is so remark ably low that it cannot be seen until close upot; it. Under all the critical circumstances the Captain found InOself in , he thought it advisable to put the ship before the wino, and heave up for this port. At midnight, on the 2d September, land was discovered on the starboard bow. This proved by the charts to be the Isle of Pines, off the East end of our Island (Cuba). Considerable consternation took place on board at this discovery, as the land in question laid dead to leeward.' The ship was put about with great dif ficulty, and an offing was eventually gained, The appre hensions of the crew and passengers were now greatly allayed, as the most lively hopes were entertained that no disaster would occur before day-light, when the situation of the vessel would be known, and steps taken for her safety. The gale continued with unabated fury, accompanied by so heavy a sea that it was expected the decks would be swept fore and aft. Between two and three o'clock these fears were realized by a heavy sea coming over the lee quarters, disabling the wheel and carrying away her coops, carpen ter's chest, and other things on the poop. A few minutes after another of greater magnitude came over the windward side of the vessel, nearly amidship, the effects of which proved dreadful ; the ship's carpenter and cook were carried overboard and perished ; with them went the life and jolly-boats, also the caboose, and a number of casiaa ; the whole of the starboard bulwarks were carried away by the same sea : to this was attributed the subsequent loss of the unfortunate vessel, and calamitous results, as the vessel now became unmanageable and drove bodily to leeward. The Captain was aware that the land of Cuba must lay close to leeward, and all hope of escaping destruction be fore daylight was now given up. The scene that followed (as described by one of the survivors) can only be imagined by those who have been in similar dreadful situations—all was anarchy and horror on board ; between three and four o'clock breakers were distinctly discerned on the starboard bow, and now the mere shadow of hope that previously existed fled ; all subordination now ceased on board, every one thought of the best expedient to give himself a chance of preservation. Signals of distress were fired, but they were only wasted amidst the tumult of tic contending ele ments. The Captain ordered the masts to be cut away, which was done by the few who were sufficiently collected to still obey his orders. This cased the vessel, but she still drove towards the " breakers," the foam pf which had an awfully grand appearance. The Captain )new the land to be the island of Cuba, but was ignoraCt on what part of the coast the vessel was driving on. Had not the boats been washed over, in the sea that was running they could not have been of any avail in the preservation of human life, as they could not have existed through the heavy surf that was furiously rush ing over the breakers. A little after three o'clock, as near as could be judged, the unfortunate ship struck, her starboard bow first taking the ground, and im mediately afterwards she was thrown upon her beam ends, the sea making complete breaches over her deck. One universal scene of destfuction took place, in a few minutes after the first dreadful shock, only four souls of the whole ship's company, crew, and passengers survived, and these wretched men were some of many who lashed themselves to spars, and committed their fates to the waves ; they were picked up on the beach after daylight by some Spaniards, in a mutilated and exhausted state ; three of them were 'seamen, the fourth a steerage-passenger of the name of Doherty. The vessel struck upon the " Callaro does," an extensive sand-bank, lying about half a mile off the main land. The day after the wreck, more than twenty bodies were washed on the beach, as also a quantity of the cargo ; most of the latter became the booty of the Spa niards on that part of the coast. The cabin passengers consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Urquhart and daughter, Mr. M'Lean, Mr. Murray and two sons (youths), Mr. Oblara, Mr. Farrell, and two other gentlemen, whose names I have not been able to ascertain. On the night of the fatal wreck, the Pomona, Captain Douglass, heard si g nals of distress, when near Cape Corrientes ; but, from the state of the weather, she was unable to render assistance. She was from Jamaica, and bound to Glasgow. The four survivors arc still here. Doherty is not expected to live. I have not heard to whom the Mediae belonged. She had made three previous voyages to the West Indies. NEW WORK BY PROFESSOR HOPPUS—" TIIE CONTINENT IN 1833."—This is a book full of instruction. Not only does the learned professor tell us what he saw but what he thought ; and the thoughts of such a mon must, we are persuaded, be duly estimated. He visited all that is usually embraced in a Continental tour, but he has embodied in his very valuable and instructive observations the reflections of his own highly cultivated and richly in formed mind. The possession of such a work is like the company of a valued friend,who, not only directing us to what is to be seen, but also assisting our attention in pointing it to what is most worthy of regard. We can have no doubt but this work will become extensively popular. CHURCH RATES.—Ministers will sec that the Dissenters, taking their stand upon the undeniable just:oe of their cause—united as one man by the bond, not of party, nor of secular interest, but of principle—fortified by the concessions of their opponents, and supported by every Churchman of liberal feelings, have resolved to put their moral strength to a test, and to bring the church•rate ques tion to a fair issue. It will not be the fitult of the Dis senters if, in seeking the redress of an admitted grievance, they come into collision with any party either in Church or State. The Society now formed is strictly one of protection and self-defence. Men of all parties agree to the preamble of Lord Althorp's Bill, " Whereas it is eapedient that the system of church-rates be discontinued."—" As to the pro. sent system," said Lord Stanley , " I go along with th e Hon. Mernbei for Boston in condemning it to it s f u ll est extent !"—" If a person is not a m ember of the Church of England," said the late Regius professor of Divinity at Oxford (Dr. Burton), " I can hardly think it right to make him pay for the repair of the fabric, or for any of the ap pendages of a worship in which be takes no part." Even Sir Robert Inglis admitted, in the debate on Lord Althorp's 'Bill, that if the church•rate were a poll-tax (which it very nearly resembles), individuals 'might with " mason and jus tice object to contribute towards the support of a church en tirelydissent." from which they And Lord Stanley went so far as to s ay, that if a simila r rate were l ev i e d upon Churchmen for the support of Maynooth, " individuals would r esist the payment by every means in their power." We know not how justification of the principle upon which the Dissenters resist the church-rate can be more triumph antly complete.—Patriot. THE DESULTORY MAN."—It has seldom been our fortune to meet with a work possessing that continuous interest which constitutes a principal attraction in Mr. James's new work, " The Desultory Man." Not one link in the chain of incidents could be dispensed with, which are individually amusing, and, as a whole, eminently calculate' to delight. We are not saving too much in remarking that the book once taken up, like " The Arabian Nights," will not be laid down till the absorbed reader is recal:ed to everyday pursuits by the emphatic hint—" finis." THE THEATRES. DR UR Y-LANE. Mr. Forrest played the part of Spartacus, for the third t ine, last ni g ht, an d ma i nta i ne d f u ll y the favourable impres sion which was made by his first appearance. There is a to ugh but p ower f u l energy i n hi s style of acting, which eel'os to win upon the audience as they become better ac quainted with it. The applause was last night even more i eh ement than on th e f ormer occas i ons, and the house was M'dinarkably full. He was announced to play Othello on onday, in consequence, as was stated, of a desire which had been generally expressed to see him in one of Shaks- Peare's dramas, which was received with great approbation. After the tragedy, an attempt was made to repeat The Duchess of Ormond. The audience, however, having heard the first act with exemplary forbearance, resolutely refused to let the play proceed beyond the middle of the second act. Mr. Cooper intreated, but in vain, and having offered that the orchestra should play an overture instead of the conclusion of the drama, this compromise was ac ceded to, and the curtain fell. The overture having been performed, the audience dispersed with a good humour and forbearance which, under the circumstances, was really a dmirable. Mr. F .tir. roaaEsT.—Last night, after the conclusion of The Iladialor, when Mr. Forrest was in the Green-room, re- F4)vering from the exhaustion consequent on his exertions r la the part of Spartacus, Mr. Bartley, on behalf of the illPany of Drury Lane Theatre, presented him with a a a nclsome snuff-box, bearing the followitr , inscription within A ".'e lid :—" To Edwin Forrest, Esq., tho American trage 'ian, from the performers of the Theatre Royal, Drury lane, in testimony of their admiration of his talent as an actor, and their respect for him as a man. His worth is warrant for his welcome hither.'"—Shaks are, he 1 ok Ae u nerpected compliment was app ro p r i a t e l y ac k now- IV Mr. Forrest. C OVEN T- GARDEN.

MONEY MARKET. FRIDAY EVENlNG.—Muchstress seems to be laid in the city on an interview which has taken place between the Directors of the Bank and the heads of some of the leading commercial houses on the subject of the difficulties in which both are placed, and which certainly may have important results. Something has been gained even at the outset by the reconciliation which has taken place between the parties, for it is always most desirable for the community at large that these interests should move on harmoniously together. The original ground of offence was, as city people cannot fail to remember, the throwing out of an immense amount of bills offered for discount by houses of whose credit no doubt could be entertained, and it was done so abruptly as to aggravate by it the inconvenience and the affront. On this proper explanations were afforded, the necessity of the case pointed out, and proper apologies made for the manner in which the thing was done. In what mode this cordiality is to operate remains to be proved, but more is expected from it than can perhaps possibly be produced. No com bination of merchants can prevent the exportation of bul lion, if there is such a demand for it abroad as will yield a profit to the exporter, but some of the merchants who attended this interview were able to offer ndvice to the Bank on the measures most likely to prevent any such profit from being made. In general their assurances on this head, derived from the actual position of commerce, e said to have been encouraging, and at all events a de cided opinion was given, that owing to the few (in compa rison) outstanding engagements among the merchants there could hardly occur any very serious pressure for money among them for the remainder of this year. They were candid enough to acknowledge to the Bank Directors that the contraction and refusal of discounts about two months ago had been of use in compelling the merchants to lessen their engagements, without which a much more severe crisis would, as the year advanced, have become inevitable, though the Bank might have obviated the necessity for any such sudden contraction, had they but foreseen, as they ought to have done, the tendency of the great operations in American Securities which were entered on in the spring of the year. The merchants, on the whole, are now clearly in a better position than the Bank ; it remains to be seen what effect these late lessons of experience will have had upon both parties. The action of the Sinking Fund upon Exchequer-bills is of some importance at this moment. The purchases on that account arc 8,5001. daily, and on two days of the week 9,000/. is laid out in the same manner for the account of the Saving Banks. The purchases are chiefly made i n December bills, which are the class liable to be paid in for the duties. The Report read at the half-yearly meeting of the Agri cultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland, which is just published, contains more matter of general interest than is usual in such documents. One of the effects of the late restrictive measures at the Bank of England upon this concern has been that of inducing them to increase their paid-up capital, in order, as they remark, that "no caprici ous exercise of power, or abuse of privilege by the Bank Corporation, could mar the progress of an important under taking." They also anticipate another good from this in crease of capital as connected with the Parliamentary in quiry on Joint-stock Banks, as they infer that superior privileges will be assigned to those Banks who pay up the whole of their capital. The operations of this Bank are chiefly conducted in the province of Ulster for the service of those towns where the linen manufacture is established, and where there appears to be abundant employment for capital. We have seen letters from Scotland, descriptive of the state of trade throughout that country generally ; and, the subject being of great interest at this moment, we subjoin an outline of their contents. In the cotton trade, the im ports from America of ordinary qualities have not been, but those of finer qualities have been, profitable. The spinners, it appears, have an excellent trade ; the finer qua lities of twist fetch high prices. The steam-loom manu factures have not much stock on hand, the high prices of twist making profits moderate. The hand-loom weavers are represented to be fully employed, and at prices compa ratively high ; but their efforts become more and more re stricted by the exertion of steam-loom weavers, and thoso of the north of Ireland. This competition keeps wages in Scotland down. The prices of muslins have advanced full 50 per cent. from the lowest point. The general observa tion, however, is, that the amount of goods consigned by the manufacturer s i s recen tly grea tly re d uce d. The silk trade is described as being less active as compared wit last year, and the price of the raw material being high, the manufacturers are cautious about buying. The fine wools used in the Paisley manufacture have fetched high prices, and that is said to have greatly benefited the Highlands. The iron trade of Scotland is in a state of unexampled prosperity, although a fall has recently taken place of 71. to 61. per ton ; but at the latter price the iron works are alleged to be yielding a profit of 300,000/. per annum above the returns of six years ago. It is further mentioned, that the mineral on the estate of Ardru was lately let for 12,000/. per annum, and that such amount would, not long ago, have purchased the whole estate. The shipping interests, including steam-packets, ship-build ing, and engine and machine making, are flourishing ; but sugar-refining i s d u ll, an d many works are doing little or nothing. The linen trade of the north of Scotland has been very active and profitable, a large portion of the sales being for the home trade. On the subject of the foreign trade of Scotland, these letters also speak favourably ; and speaking of the N or th A mer i can ti m b er t ra d e , t h ey ob serve that it is almost entirely possessed by one firm, which employs in it 10,000 or 12,000 tons of shipping, and has acquired great wealth.-11Iorning Paper. In Bristol the result of the municipal registration has been to give the Liberals a clear majority of 8! over their Tory antagonists. M. John Barton, Engineer, Providence•-row, Fins bury, has recommended that every steam vessel should be compelled to have a bell on board to be rung on dark nights and in foggy weather, by which simple means all danger would be avoided. The bell might be easily attached to the machinery, and kept in motion by the power of the steam, without causing the least extra trouble to any indivi dual connected with the vessel. The aurora borealis was strikingly observable in Dublin last night about eight o'clock. The shifting sheets of varied light, in all the modifications of amber, purple, and silver hue, attracted much attention ; and the crimson was so decidedly marked, that many thought it was the re flection of a conflagration.—Dublin Morning Register. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 20. — The Cotton Market continues flat ; the sales about 1,200 bags.

It may not be amiss to remind the subscribers to these races that nominations for the Drawing Room, 300 soya., and Two-years-old Stakes must be made in the course of the Houghton Meeting. The subscriptions, we understand, are so numerous that an unusually large entry is anticipated. The running of Elis, Venison, Horn sea, Madeira, Hook, and Winterton, subsequent to the last meeting, completely refute a vulgar prejudice, that horses trained or brought out at Goodwood are thereby unfitted to run the same season. The above horses have won fourteen or fifteen races since the beginning of August. CURRAGH OCTOBER MEETING, WEDNESDAY. The King's Plate of 100 guineas, was walked over for by Colonel Westenra's Thump. A Sweepstakes of 10 sovs., h. ft., with 25 sovs. added, was won by Lord Alulgrave's Exchange (H. Edwards), beating Colonel Westenra's Burlesque, Mr. Disney's Barefoot, and five others. The First Class of the Corinthian Stakes of 10 sovs., h. ft., with 30 added, was won in three heats by Mr. 0. Henchy's Saucy Moll, beating Lord Mulgrave's Barbara Bell, and three others. Two paid forfeit. Challenge of the Kirwan Stakes, of 50 sovs. each, and the 5 sovs. ft., was walked over for by Mr. Watt's Blackfoot, Colonel Wester'. ra's Thump having compromised. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

CUTTER MATCII.—The long expected match between the Alarm and the Stranger, two crack four-oared cutters, will take place on Monday next. The contest is for 50 guineas, and the distance from Westminster-bridge to Putney against tide. The boats will start one hour after high water. The New Diana is the favourite at 5 to 4. The rowing match.amongst 24 picked watermcn, to celebrate the opening of Messrs. Goding's brewery, in the Belvidere road, is announced for Tuesday fortnight. WATTS AND PIIELPS.—The second disappointment in this match has created more than a little prejudice against Phelps, in consequence of his refusal to agree to the usual terms, as submitted to him by Parish. The common opinion is, that as each has served his time, and gets his living on the Thames, that it does not show the Fulham man's game in refusin g to row a fair waterman's wager. One thing is evident, that Watts means rowing, and his adversary don't much fancy it. ELISS, NEWEL, AND BYFORD.—In this match the stakes aro as yet withheld, and Newel, who was the winner on the day it was assorted the fouling took place, intends to row the match again. On an application to Mr. Colquhoun, of St. John's, Cambridge, that gentleman consented to allow him the use of his new black boat, laid down this reason. As the articles in this match specify a clear wager, it would be better that the men should draw, and two minutes be allowed between the starting of each. It is almost impossible for the men to pre vent fouling. The eight-oared cutter built by Hunt last season for the gentlemen of St. John's, Cambridge, has ungergone consider able altcratious and improvements. Her thwarts have all been lowered, and her mouldings are gold on a black ground. The boat is no less than fifty-two feet in length. Her appearance is beautiful. Mr. W. S. Roscoe (an honoured name) has been appointed by the Town Council of Liverpool to the valu able appointment of Sergeatt-at-Mace. SIR WILLIAM KNIGHTON. (From the Medical Gazette.) The newspapers have already made known th© decease of the late Sir William Knighton ; and although he had long abandoned medical practice, we think it incumbent upon us to'place in our pages some record of one who once be longed to our profession, and whose career has been, in several respects, so remarkable. Sir William Knighton originally entered the medical profession as an apprentice to an apothecary at Tavistock ; and after a residence of a few months in London, returned to that town to settle a general practitioner. This, however, not proving agreeable to his taste, or satisfactory to his ambi tion, he soon returned to London, and settled as an ac coucheur. The College of Physicians having admonished him for practising as a physician without a degree, he went to Edinburgh, where he remained two seasons ; and, having obtained a degree from the Archbishop of Canterbury, was admitted a licentiate. From this time he remained in London till 1810, when he accompanied the Marquis Wellesley to Spain, and re- turned with him when the mission was at an end. On this nobleman retiring from office, he asked his late Majesty to appoint Knighton one of his physicians. Soon after this he became acquainted with Sir John M'Mahon, by whom lie was speedily admitted to terms of intimacy, and they continued on the most confidential footing until the death of the latter, who made Sir William his executor. Among the papers which thus came into his possession, were some relating to certain private affairs of the late King. Instead of endeavouring to turn this circumstance to any profitable account, Knighton instantly carried the documents to Carl ton-house, and placed them at once, without comment or condition, in the hands of the rightful owner. From that hour may be dated his admission to Royal favour. The Prince Regent, struck at once with the importance of the benefit, and with ale delicate manner in which it had been conferred, appointed Knighton to an important office in the Duchy of Cornwall ; in 1813 raised him to the baronetage ; and, at a later period, presented him with the grand cross of the Guelphic Order. His reputation was now at its zenith, and his business continued very extensive till the removal of Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, who had succeeded Sir John M' Mahon in the office of Private Secretary. On the elevation of this gen tleman to the peerage, and his mission to Sweden, Sir William Knighton, who had previously been a frequent visitor, now became an inmate at Carlton Palace, was in vested with the offices of Private Secretary and Privy Purse—appointments which he retained till the death of George IV. _ _ _ Before his connection with the Court, Sir William Knighton practised chiefly, though not exclusively, as an accoucheur. Ha is said to have been extremely cautious of his reputation—always calling in additional advice whenever there was any manifest danger ; and succeeded in amassing a very large fortune, by his original profession. From the time of his accepting the appointments above mentioned, he, of course, wholly abandoned practice ; but he still re tained an intimacy with several members of the medical profession, some 'of whom were indebted to him for many acts of kindness and consideration. • He had latterly suffered from embarrassment of breath ' ng and oppression about the chest, which proved to be dependent upon enlargement cf the heart, and ended in dropsical effusion into the right pleura and pericardium, which proved fatal on Tuesday, the 11th inst., in the 60th year of his age. Sir William Knighton was unquestionably a man of ex cellent talents ; but he was still more conspicuous for his fine sagacity and knowledge of the world. His success in life was remarkable ; but such was at one time his interest at Court, that it is quite certain he might have commanded almost anything which the highest influence in the empire could bestow ; yet he never showed himself either avari cious or greedy of honours. lie was scrupulously punc tilious in all the observances and etiqucttes of society ; but, amid the polish which his manners and character re ceived from the circumstances into which he was thrown, he still retained unimpaired the impress of his early friendships. The Charge d'Affaires from Spain transacted busi ness yesterday at the Admiralty Department. . . . . TIIE MOTHER OF NAPOLEON.—In the highly interesting " Memoirs of Lucien Buonaparte," the first part of which is just out, he relates a beautiful trait of his patriotic mother. On Corsica withdrawing her allegiance from France, the Buonaparte family, remaining faithful to the parent country, were compelled to make a hasty retreat from their enemies to a secret encampment in the forest of Bastelica. The Prince thus proceeds :—" On the same day the flames arising in thick columns from the middle of the town attracted the eyes of our friends. It is your house that is burning,' said one of them to my mother. Ah ! never mind,' she replied, we will build it up again much better. Vive la France!' " SINGULARLY ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—The fol lowing case of attempted self-destruction has caused con siderable excitement in the neighbourhood of IpsWich. Mr. William Wilson retired early on Monday morning to his back premises, and discharged the contents of a single barrelled gun, loaded with swan-shot, at his own head. It appears that the muzzle was placed under his chin, but either from the stock slipping, or that at the moment he touched the trigger, be jerked his head backwards, the charge took an oblique direction, and instead of penetrating the brain, the jaw -bones, the mouth, the tongue, and part of the nose were frightfully shattered. Having committed the dreadful act, he quietly walked into his house, and com posedly seated himself until the arrival of two surgeons, who found his pulse perfectly regular. So dreadfully shat tered was the lower jaw, that it was deemed necessary to remove a part of it by a surgical operation. There are no apprehensions at present entertained of a fatal result ; but without a lower jaw, a tongue, and a nose, he must remain a speechless and horrible spectacle to the end of his days. Nourishment is administered to him by means of a flexible tube, and he communicates his wishes by writing. A pistol loaded with slugs was found on his person, which seems as if he had intended to complete his purpose effectually had the gun missed fire ; but the failure of his first attempt, though it had no effect upon his nervous system, evidentli awakened within him a desire to live. Mr. Wilson was about to quit his occupation ; and the sale of his farming stock and furniture, by auction, took place on the same day. He is a married man, and, we regret to say, has a family of eight children.—Suffolk Herald. A duel was fought on Wednesday morning early, in a field near the eighth-mile stone on the Uxbridge road, be tween two gentlemen unknown, one of whom was dressed in a naval uniform, and the other in a loose drab coat. The parties had travelled to the place of action in London chaises, one of which took up in Gloucester-place, and the other in the City. The combatants exchanged their s hots, when the person dressed in the loose coat appeared to have been wounded, and he was lead to the chaise by two of his companions, when the postboy drove off the contrary way for town. Th e p a rti e s first alighted at Wormwoo d Scrcbs' to settle their disputes, but they were, it SCOW, apprehen , sive of being molested, and travelled on. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. LONDON. (Before Mr. CRAIG.) FRIDAY. Allen, and nineteen other claimants in re spect of houses in St. Ann's, Blackfriars, were objected to by Mr. Rodgers. It would appear that all these claimants are tenants of a Mr. Norris, who some time back entered into an arrangement with the parish officers to pay Is. in the pound rate for each house, whether occupied or not, and accordingly Mr. Norris's name appeared on the ratc book as the .party rated for all the houses, though the tenants' names were inserted as occupiers. Mr. Craig reserved his decision on the point. FINSBURY. The Revising Barristers for this borough resumed tl.cir sittings at ten o'clock yesterday at White Conduit-house. (Before Mr. TAMLYN.) ST. GILES-IN-THE-FIELDS. Mr. TAMLYN continued the revision of the list of this pa;'jsh yesterday, and, in the course of the morning, stated that s6:ne mistake appeared to have taken place as to what he said in the case of Mr. Vicier, of Lincoln's-inn-fields. Mr. TAidzYN wished the case to go on on the merits, but— Mr. Murylen declined doing so till he had the opinion of the Court ort the point. Mr. TAMLYN Olen said he should consult his colleague before giving his deei b on.—The case was then postponed. [Before Mr. FALCONER.] The following list was to :Nye been taken by Mr. Tam lyn, but in consequence of that gentleman not having con eluded the parish of St. George, Bloomsbury, Mr. Falconer sat in his Court to take it. LIBERTY OF SAFFRON-HILL, HATTON-GARDEN, AND ELY- RENTS. There 336 names in the original list of this liberty. No new claims, and 23 objection which were taken by Mr. Pcnfold. Mr. Winch attended for the Reformers. The name of John Belotti was opposed on the ground tL3t he was not the actual occupier, but that his son, who was 6 minor, resided on the premises. M r. ii,LeoNna, in giving his judgment, said that in the Bedford case there was a much stronger proof of alienage than in the present. The case was that of Godfrey Levi (Perry and Knapp's Reports, page 147) ; and to prove the alienage the brother of the voter and another witness were called, who proved that they had known him an infant in Germany, and afterwards in England, and that lie spoke with a foreign accent. The Committee of the House of Commons in this case decided, that as there was no proof that one of the parents of the voter was not an English subject, in which case he would have been so, the vote was good. He (Mr. Falconer) was of opinion, after this decision of a Committee of a House of Commons, that the evidence in the case before him was insufficient proof of the alienage, and that therefore the objection must be disallowed. Mr. Penfold said, that in consequence of this decision he should withdraw his other objections on account of a ;:enage,and be satisfied if proof was given of the proper qua bf cation. The decision affected 1.5 out of the 23 obections. In the ease of Anthony Pastoratio, 1117. Penfold said that last year ire name had been struck cut, satisfactory evidence having bL en given that Pastoratio was a foreigner, and had served on fore&n juries. Mr. FALCONER said that in the absence of such evidence now, the name must be retained. PRACTICE OF THE COURT. In a case possessing no public interest Mr. Blackburn, the Chancery Barrister, was observed ly Mr, Penfold to be speaking to Mr. Winch, who was conducting the case on the part of the Reformers. Mr. Penfold immediately objected t• the interference of Mr. Blackburn in any case before the Court, as it was clearly laid down by the 57th sectio► of the Act, that no party should appear by Counsel. Mr. FALCONER said that a simikr objection had been made to him whilst speaking to a Revising Barrister, and it was then held that he might suggest anything, but not address the Court. The lists having been conclsded, 3 of the objections were allowed, and 20 disallowed. GRPY'S-INN. The list contained 329 names, one claim and no objec tions. Mr. Jeffries Spranger, the claimant in question, had cent in a claim in the proper form, but it had been lost. Mr. FALCONER, however, admitted a proof of the ser vice of a copy of tic notice on the overseers, and evidence having been given of Mr. Sprang - er's qualification, the claim was allowed. The Court adjourned at four o'clock. EAST SURREY. Yesterday V. KNOX and C. B. LENNARD, Esquires, sat at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, and commenced their revision of the Lists of voters for the Eastern Divkion of the county of Surrey. The Court having been opened with the usual formalities, the Learned Gentlemen sepa rated, and proceeded with the lists brought before them in their respective apartments. The lists taken this day were those of the BOROUGH OF r.AmBETti. (Before V. KNOX, Esq.) Th e list of the parish of Lambeth having been presented for revision, Mr. E] OX inquired how many objections there were ? Mr. Clark; (the Vestry-Clerk,) replied that there were none. Mr. KNox--Icat ! not an objection to the lists of so large and populous a parish as this! I am astonished. There were 28 new claims. Mr. Carey claimed in respect of his occupation of the house situate No. 80, Carlisle-place. He admitted that he had not paid his rates prior to the 21st of July, but the amount had been tendered by him in sufficient time. Mr. KNox allowed the claim. An individual whose name had been omitted from the list applied to have it inserted, on the ground that the omission was the act of the overseer, and not the result of any de fault by claimont.—Claim disallowed. Mr. Fillon applied to have his name correctly entered. He stated that in tike registry of the two last years his name had been printed by m:z4take as " Tiller." • Mr. KNOX, having sat!isfied himself that the claimant still possessed his original qu ,lification, and had paid up his rates and taxes, said he should allow Mr. Fillon's claim. Mr. T. Holbrook claimed in respect of a house in the New-road, Camberwell. Mr. Hall, the poor-rates collector, objected that the claimant was not rated in the parish boo:cs. Mr. KNOX said the fact was, Mr. Holbrook bad been a party to a species of fraud on the parish, by allowing Mr. Mott to appear as the occupier of the house, when he was not so, the object being merely to enable him to fulfil his parish contract. Under these circumstances the claimant must lose his vote. Claim disallowed. In the list of the Bishop's Liberty the collector requested that a name might be struck out ; the party being dead. Mr. KNox—Are you sure this individual is dead? W e must be careful that we do not strike out names without positive knowledge of the fact. Last year several persons whom we killed after this fashion came to life again on the adjournment. day.—(Laughter.) Mr. KNOX observed that the Prince's Liberty contains several names which appeared also in the list of voters for the county, and remarked that such names ought to have been objected to. No objection, however, having been made he had not the power to strike the names off. The overseers ought to take care to avoid this repetition, if possible, other wise a great many bad votes might be created. All he could do was to enter the residence of the other parties. He believed th,t no part of Herne-hill, properly so called, belonged to the borough. Mr. John Fiddey was entered as entitled in respect of a house situate in the borough, although his claim was as occupier of land in. Acre-land, which is beyond the limits. Mr. Knox said, this was another instance in which a had vote must be retained ; because, not having been ob jected to, he had not the power to strike it out. The Collector said, Mr. Fiddey's house was within a hundred yards of the limits of the borough, which commu nicated by a back entrance to the land in question. Mr. KNox said, the house being without the borough, the party was not entitled to a vote ; but for "the reason he bad stated the name must remain on the list. (Before C. B. LENNARD, Esq.) N EWINGTON. Mr. Burhill claimed, saving that he had paid his poor rates in time, but had failed to pay his King's taxes, the collector not having called upon him for them, and not know ing where he lived, so that he might call to pay them. As soon as the collector did apply the amount due was paid.— Claim disallowed. Mr. Phillips having claimed, The Collector of the poor-rates said it was a question whether this claim was a dmissible, inasmuch as a shilling, which was demanded with the rate, had not been paid in due time. Mr. LENNARD decided that the claim was admissible, the rates having been paid. The Act was silent as to costs. The correction of some misdescriptions of names and places was reserved for the adjournment -day, which was fixed for the Bth of next month. _ _ ---; The new claims were thus disposed of :—Lambeth parish, 28—allowed, 22 ; disallowed, 6. Newingtonl42 allowed, 40 ; disallowed, 2. Camberwell, 1 - _ disallowed, 5. The Peckham list containe' they were all allowed. The registry of the parish of Lambeth si of the Relorm Bill exhibits the following 2,151 ; 1833, 1,641 ; 1834, 1,835 ; 1835, 3,303. ?i CWingum.r ~._ 0-aEOWEkt r 141 i C d b u 'te4,learttr ' 77,4:;' eslr_sq . , , -- '.::.; • I 't re w , 1:44r.,'• ,k, IF, , 3 •;:.-1 3 13; " ; : ..... .t.,...„..,..1 1 : . ..,., , ' ~.......,;,_, Shy a NI \` 3 t
