GERMANIC LITERARY ASSOCIATION. GERMAN NEWSPAPERS. (Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.) LAURIE MURRAY said, that the Resolution which ne had been requested to move was one from which he Pected no person present would dissent; it rel , ted to toe necessity of Englishmen entering into an immediate s ubscription for the purpose of creating something like a s ubstitute for that Press of which the people of Germany had been deprived. Public opinion in Germany had been left without an organ, and it was the duty of all who felt with them to supply that defect as speedily as pos. tihle. If Poland had remained free, and the smaller states had not been prostrated before the military ascend a4nY of the House of Brandenburgh, Germany would not nc uv he in a situation to call for the interference of free ;sea throughout Europe. Gibbon had truly said, that 16 0,000 soldiers would keep in subjection 10,000,000 of s ubjects. Freemen, then, would do well to look with be esming jealousy upon the military Powers of Europe ; and all freemen should raise their voices against the mainten 'see of standing armies in time of peace. He concluded by moving the following Resolution : " That in order to enable the Anglo-Germanic Associa. lion to carry the foregoing resolutions into full effect, this Meeting cordially recommend that a subscription be now entered into, and those gentlemen now present, who are desirous of supporting this laudable undertaking, are re quested to give their contributions to J. Laurie Murray, Esq , the treasurer to that association." Mr. GIBBONS MERLE seconded the resolution. Though he was not a German, yet he felt a strong sentiment in favour of Germans. He did not care who the people Were whose cause he advocated, whether they were Ger mans, Russians, Prussians, or Kamschatcans—(Hear)— so long as they were a people anxious for, and deserving °F, liberty, so long would he advocate their cause.— (Applause.) He would not appeal to them merely on the Principles of justice and philanthropy—he would urge them by the still stronger motive of self interest. Let them spread out the map of the world before them, and see how small a speck was England ; they could place their thumb upon it, and it would be no longer visible. Her power lay not, therefore, in the extent of her ter ritory, but in her moral influence—in tire influence of intellect and freedom ; which influence could only be Preserved by protecting the frerlom of other countries. Our Foreign Minister had been accused, and, per haps, justly, of vacillating policy ; still repentance would come at some time of life ; and he had good reason to believe that that hour had, at length, arrived with Lord Palmerston.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that Mi nister had never erred through a want of good intentions, but had adopted a course of policy too courteous—too co nciliatory—(Cheers)—he now perceived that he could not govern the world by courtesy alone, when the only mode of governing was by one of two categories—that of the language of freedom, or that of absolutism and ty ranny. His friend Lafayette—(Cheers)—bad said that two categories divided Europe—freedom and tyranny ; a truth which he could assure them our Foreign Minister had by this time discovered.—(Cheers.) A glorious day was at hand, when England would proclaim to the Continental Powers, that though she did not sanction rebellion against good Government, yet she was, in justice to her own in terests, bound to protect, and would protect, freedom, wherever it should raise its head, even in Russia itself (Hear, hear.) And Louis Philip, ton, he could state, on mast authentic information, had awoke to a propsr view of the question. He had at first thought and said that he did not believe the Great Powers had any hostile inten tions towards France ; but within the last few days he knew—(Hear, hear)—hitn to have said that the mask had fallen off, and that since the infamous protocol of Frankfurt, there was no safety but in freedom—no se curity but in independence.—(Loud cheers.) He had even gone further—he had applied to the Government of this country, and said the only means of safety for France and England, was a cordial union of the people and the Governments of both countries.—(Loud cheers.) They had, therefore, only to show to the Administration their ardent desire for such a union, and ere many months they would find England and France alive to their own situation, commanding instead of intreating—(Hear, he ar)--dictating, instead of imp'oring—dictati ng to rulers that course which, as men and Christians, they were bound to pursue, and which, as men and Christians, we equally were bound to maintain. He then called on them to come forward with their subscriptions—a guinea here and a guinea there would not be much felt even in these times of distress. It was a mistake to imagine that the establishment of a single newspaper could effect nothing ; though prohibited, it would yet be circulated, and conveyed to its destination, perhaps, in the bandage of an invalid, or peeked up in a bale of goods. He instanced Partugal,where, notwithstanding the severity of the tyrant—for there ne ver Was a gr ea t er ty ran t than th e vaga b on d w h o sa t upon her throne—and the activity of the police, the proclama tions of Don Pedro still found their way. It would be an pussible to keep such a paper out of Germany ; it would be a central and a rallying point ; and if they supported it, they wou'd have the consolation of reflecting that they ha d done that which their Government ought to have done, hut neglected to do—that they had lighted the torch of freedom in Germany, and laid the foundation of that Struggle which must end in the emancipation of mind, in spite of the cannon and bristling bayonets of the tyrants.— ( - Applause.) The CHAIRMAN remarked, that the smallest contribu tion, even a penny, would be welcomed. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. LAWLESS doubted not that the Germans in LOH.. don, of whom there were not less than 5,000, would, as he believed they were able, subscribe liberally in support of the scheme proposed. After passing a warm eulogium on the Duke of Sussex for his political consistency, be concluded by moving the appointment of a Committee to wait on his Royal Highness, and request him to preside at a public meeting to be called on behalf of Germany. Mr. YORKE seconded the motion. One of the pre- ceding speakers has talked about Roman liberty. Why, Roman liberty was obtained by the s word, vindicated by the sword, and only lost when Romans became too dege nerate to use the sword.—(Cheers.) It was despicable nonsense to talk of achieving the liberty of Germany by scribbling a little in a pamphlet or newspaper. The battle bad begun—it would be fought, and would be deprecated only by men who had not sufficient courage to face the dangers.—(Heir, hear.) He approved of their attempts to establish a free Press, provided that Press were con sidered to be preparatory to some grand undertaking, and that its exertions should be devoted to endeavours to rouse the Germans to an appeal to the cannon and the baynot, Which was the only effectual remedy—(Applause.) The motion was then carried.—And, after a few ob servations from a Mr. BERTIIOLD and a gentleman pre sent, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing broke up. GOETHE.---The wife of a Silesian peasant being obliged to go to Saxony, anti hearing that she had travelled (on foot) more than half thet distance residence, whose works she had read with th e to Ge liveliest in. terest, continued her journey to Weimar, for the sake of seeing him. GOETHE declared, that the true character of his works had never been better understood than by this woman. He gave her his portrait.—Mirror. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MANSLAUGH TER._On Wednesday evening, at 6 o'clock, Coroner anlnq foruest Th was held before omas STIRLING, Esq., Middlesex, at the Star and Garter Inn, at the e foot of Kew bridge, upon view of the body of Jolts; WEBB, aged 26, who was kill e d by th e b u rsting of a smal l cannon. RICHAR D ONLEY, hrickmaker, of No. 2, Worton-i ane, near Br en tf or d, depose d , t h at on Wendestlay last, about 2 o'clock, there was a rowing match at Kew Bridge, upon which occasion it was intended to have fired a salute of 12 small cannon, which were ranged on the bank of th e river, in a brick-field. Eleven of the cannon were load e d by the deceased; and upon the first being fired by a man named FULCOUR, it burst, and, stranze to say, the deceased, who was standing at least 20 yards from the piece, and about 30 or 40 persons standing between it and him, h e was struck with a portion of it, and immedi ately fell. He was taken into the Star and Garter. and Mr. BONNEY, the surgeon, came in a few minutes. Mr. HENRY HUGHES, oil and colourman, at Old Brent ford, procured the twelve cannon in question from Mr. ROBERT CARR, of Grosvenor -street, Millbank, iron founder. About a fortnight ago, in proving four of the pieces one burst, and was sent back to Mr. CARR, and the latter returned one, as was supposed, in its stead, but witness had no doubt, from subsequent examination, that it was the smile gun, having been patched up at Mr. CARR'S factory. The same piece burst under the touch hole on Monday. The guns were ordered by a young gentleman of the name of SMITH, in Dr. MosELEY's school, at Ealin g . Witness bad applied to Mr. CARR upon the subject, and he admitted that he bad tried a great number of the same sort of guns of his own manufacture, and that about two out of every twelve had burst. Wit ness gave 10s. each for the cannons.—The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Mr. ROBERT CARR, and a warrant was issued by the Coroner for his appre hension arid committal to Newgate for trial, and the wit nesses were bound over to prosecute. The Churchwarden (who was Foreman of the Jury) and Overseer of Brent lord, said that they would not hesitate to devote a portion of the parish funds to a public prosecution in such a We. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND entertained a select party at dinner on Wednesday, at their residence at Kew. The Ministers of the Five Powers assembled at the Fc ieign-office at half•paet 6 o'clock last evening, and held a conference on the affairs of Belgium. There were present the Russian Ambassador, the Austrian and Russian Mi nisters to the Conference, the Prussian and French Minis ter,, and Viscount PALMERSTON. Despatches from General GICANT, Governor of Trinidad, were yesterday received at the Colonial-office. The Bavarian and French Ministers visited Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Ranee Towns Minister transacted business at the Furcl L ;;l-cflic, yesterday. WINDSOR, AUG. 30.

The Duchess of BEDFORD and her daughters, who are now sojourning at Kinrara, a romantic chateau belonging to his Grace in the Highlands, will meet the Noble Duke towards the close of the autumn at Woburn, which will be the scene of some splendid entertainments to celebrate the long-talked-of matrimonial alliance between the young Marquis of ABERCORN and Lady LoufsA RUSSELL. Aberguldie Castle, where Lord ABERCORN and his party are pursuing the sport of grous.,..shooting, is about thirty miles distant from Kinrara. Earl GREY, accompanied by his family, passed through Newcastle on Saturday forenoon. A gentleman, said to be Earl of NIUNSTER, but travelling under the name of OLDHAM, left Glasgow this morning by the London mail, lie had arrived from the north yesterday morning ; and, the fact having spread, a number of persons were in waiting this morn. ing, and gave a taint hiss as the mail drove off.— Glasgow Chronicle of Monday. CITY of ABERDEEN.—The contest for this place may be said to be terminated, as since theregistration of the voters it has been found that an overwhelming majority are in favour of Mr. BANNERMAN. Out of 2,159 regis tered voters, I ,554 are pledged to Mr. BANNERMAN ; and, although the remaining 575 were to vote for Provost MADDEN (which is, however, not at all likely), there would be still nearly three to one against him. BARRINGTON.—The celebrated pickpocket (if the last century, the predecessor of BILL SOAMES, was horn at Rush, near Dublin, and his real name was WAL DRON, which lie changed when he came to England to save his family from disgrace. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION.—AiI investigation is proceeding with in Thurles, into the con duct of two soldiers belonging to the 74th Regiment, on a charge of selling ball-cartridge to some countrymen for the purpose of despatching the life of a material crows witness, who is bound to prosecute at the next Clonme , assizes.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. Cabriolets have just been established in Al giers, to run in two lines—one from the Bab-Azoun Gate to Mustapha, and the other from the Bab-el Oued Gate to the DEY'S Garden, where the great military hospital is situated. ABSTINENCE.—SHELLEY was of opinion, that abstinence from animal food subtilizes and clears the intellectual faculties. For all the sensualities of the table lie had an ineffable contempt, and, like NEwToN, used sometimes to inquire if he had dined. STANDARD NOVELS. Tile nineteenth number of this highly popular series of modern fictions, is, we p•rceive, just published. It consists of the second and concluding volume of Miss JANE PORTER'S " Pastor's Fire-side," a work which a high authority pronounced to be the most vigorous in style, and the richest in character and circumstance of any of the distinguished authoress's productions. The present edition comprises an original Inh oduction, written by Miss PORTER, expressly for " The Standard Novels ;" but even with this interesting addition (not to mention the four illustrative engravings) the novel may now be had at about a third of its original cost. "L'ln the Court of the Duchy of Cornwall four Leet Juries, enapannelled front different quarters of the county, and as much of Devon as lies within its jurisdic tion, being elected, sworn, and united in one assembly, constitute the Stannary Parliament, whose acts and ordi nances have the force of law. A similar constitution, but with some minute varieties, is known to have subsisted, and partly still to subsist, in the Isle of Man, and in the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. TITHES — ENGLAND.—We have conversed with some intelligent gentlemen who passed through the most populous part of England within a few days- They represent the hostility to tithes as deep-rooted among the people of that country as in Ireland, and that it only wants a stimulant from Irish agitation to rouse it into action. Every hour the tics between the democracy of England and of Ireland draw closer. Their interests are the same, and their efforts should and shall shortly be in unison.—Dublin Morning Register, 343,748 141,195 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. In consequence of the early hour at which Egliatil Races terminated yesterday, many of the betting gentle men were enabled to return to town in time to attend Tattersdrs. Several engagements were made, and Lord Exeter's horses were backed to a considerable amount. The odds averaged as follow : DONCASTER ST. EEC:ER. 7to agst Lord Kelburne's Retainer Bto aest Mr. Watts's Nicotris (taken) Bto agst Mr. Gully's Margrave 12 to agst Mr. S. L. Fox's Julius 12 to agst Mr. Beardsworth's Ludlow 1:1 to agst Lord Cleveland's Trustee 14 to agst Mr. Ridsdale's Brother to Maria 14 to agst Sir R. Bulkeley's Birdcatcher 20 to agst Lord Exeter's Beiram (taken) 20 to agst lord Exeter's Byzantium (taken) 20 to agst Mr. Vansittart's Perion 25 to agst Lord Sligo's Daxon (taken) 30 to agst Mr. Powlett's filly by Figaro 114 to agst Lord Exeter's lot 500 to 400 on Retainer agst Lord Exeter 00 to 400 on Nicotris agst Lord Exeter EGHAM RACES, Aua. 30. Although less unfavourable than on either of the pre ceding days, the weather yesterday was sufficiently bad to occasion a thin attendance and bad sport. From our no. lice of the Meeting throughout, it will be collected that it has proved an entire failure. This is not to be attributed to any want of exertion or spirit in the Stewards ; for everything was done to contribute to the amusements of the spectators, especially by the acting Steward, Colonel Salwey, whose attention was unremitting. The weather alone spoiled the Meeting, many fashionables being kept away by it, and the ground reduced to a quagmire ; so bad, indeed, was it, that several trainers who had brought horses for the Plates declined to enter them. This unfor tunate " state of things" was severely felt by the inhabit ants of Egham, and still more so by the unlucky proprie tors of the Stand, gaming booths, &c., all of whom are heavy losers. In short the races, which every one antici pated would have come up a prize (the promised visit of their Majesties having heightened their expectations), proved a blank. In the course of the afternoon some business was done on the Great St. Leger.

These sports, which are annually held on the magni ficent lake of Windermere, commenced on Wednesday. The morning was not very favourable, being misty, with sharp thunder showers at intervals, but the company was nevertheless both numerous and fashionable. About 11 o'clock, barges, wherries, and pleasure boats, crowded with ladies, began to appear in the offing; and at the usual hour the sports commenced, notwithstanding that strong guts of wind swept over the lake, which upset one of the boats at an early hour, and endangered the lives of its crew, two young men, collegians, who were only saved by clinging to the mast. A skiff race, single handed, was to close the sports of the day, and four of the best rowers, namely, Rubinson, Stuart, Atkinson, and William Coward, were the competitors for the prize. The signal gu❑ was fired, and the boats pulled off ; but after making two or three strokes, Coward unshipped one of his oars, and, in endeavouring to replace it, it is sup posed he had leaned too much over the side of the light skiff in which he rowed, and so upset it. The tragical con sequence was, the unfortunate man immediately sunk to the bottom and perished. He was an industrious young man, about 24 years of age, and built the skiff, we under stand, from which he met with so melancholy a fate. The body was not recovered until the following morning. On Thursday, the weather being more favourable, a very numerous company assembled to witness the wrestling. The prizes were 61. and a handsome belt, namely, for the first man, 41. and the belt; second, 11.; third and fourth, 10s. each. The independence displayed by many of the poorer vot ers i n S cot l an d, w ho for . the first time are called upon to exercise their suffrages, is highly honourab:e to their character. A gentleman, possessed of an estate in Berwickshire, not 100 miles from Swinton, and who has for some time been a candidate for a directorship of the East India Company, had some time ago lowered the rent Of what would be called here a paddock from 51. to 31. 15s. On being informed that this tenant meant to vote for Mr. MARroarEANKs, the Reform candidate, the landlord said lie would raise him again to 5/. " Very well, Sir , " said the tenant, " you may do so: I cannot do violence to my conscience fur 11. 59."--S'cutch Paper. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, a simple-looking young Welehman, named David Parry, was brought before Mr. Alder man BROWN, by Thomas Herdsfield, the Guildhall officer, on suspicion of having robbed his employer of 450/. The prisoner's story was, that he worked as an apprentice and journeyman for many years with his brother at Llanrwst, but falling in love with a damsel named Ann Roberts, of which intimacy his friends disapproved, he left them, and his sweetheart also, whom he had not seen since March. For the last month he had been working as a smith with Daniel Thomas, of Clynnog, Carnarvonshire, whom the devil put it in his mind to rob, and away he came to London by the Holyhead coach. When the coach was near Bangor his master overtook it, and in• quired of the guard if he had such a passenger, giving a description of his person, by which, how ever, the guard did not recognize him. Prisoner wa' sitting on the roof of the coach at the time, and heard the conversation, but in the dark his master did not observe him. He had taken his place in the Manchester coach yesterday afternoon, intending to =2o from thence to Liverpool and America. When Herdsfield tapped him on the shoulder and told him he " wanted him" for a robbery, the prisoner's surprise and trepidation were extreme, but be frankly answered every question put to him. Among his purchases was a gown piece of cilk for his Welch Mr. Alderman BROWN remanded the prisoner for a week, to give the officer an opportunity of com municating with Mr. Thomas, and arranging the sending of the prisoner to Wales for trial. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday James Hampton, alias Hawkins, was finally examined on several charges of uttering a number of forged orders, to the amount of 2/. each, on farmers and others. The prisoner, who is about 60 years age, made a mere jest of the charge. Mr. Thomas Davis, of No. 15, Warren-street, near Fitzroy-square, cornchandler, was the first effi cient witness, and called his daughter to substantiate his charge. Elizabeth Davis, an interesting girl, deposed that the prisoner brouOt Ler an order from Air. Jackson Gurney, of Northlw, which order he signed in her presence before she paid the money. Prisoner—Take care what you say Miss, for I'm rather a remarkable sort of man. Mr. HOSKINS—Miss Davis, are you certain that the prisoner at the bar is the same person to whom you paid this order for 2/. ?—Oh, yes. Prisoner—lt's all a mistake, your Worship. Mr. HOSKINS —III it a mistake that the papers are all signed for 21. each 2—They don't know me. Air. HOSKINS-4 suppose so,but this is a clear case. The prisoner was next charged with obtaining 2/. in the same manner, on behalf of Mr. Pott, farmer, at Stanwell, from Mr. Davis, of Pimlico, which charge, like that of Mr. Davis, was put beyond a doubt. Twenty more charges were preferred. Mr. HOSKINS—The first two cases are quite suf ficient to commit the prisoner for trial. " Commit me !" ejaculated the prisoner, " I'm not the man ; I repeat this, your Worship." Hampton alias Hawkins was committed to New gate for trial. LAMB E T S TREE T. Yesterday William Adonis was charged before Mr. WALKER and the Rev. D. MATHIAS, with robbing Mr. Dennis Doyle, an officer in the excise, of a sil ver watch and appendages, on the King's highway. The prisoner was remanded, to give the officers time to trace the watch, and apprehend his associates in the offence. W OR SHIP- STREET. Yesterday, Henry Brown, William Beckinsale, and Samuel Solomon, the Jew, who have been seve ral weeks in custody, charged with having been con cerned in numerous robberies committed at the hotels and other public places about town, were again brought up for examination on some of the charges. Mr. BROUGHTON, after some further proceedings, remanded all the prisoners till next week. UNION-HALL. Ye:terday, Robert Engfelon, head ostler at the King's Arms Inn, Kent Road, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, en an alleged charge of stealing 401. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns, the ' property of Mr. Broughton, a linen-draper, at the west end of the town. The complainant on Wednesday drove down to Greenwich, in his gig, accompanied by a person whom he employed as his Scotch traveller, and left him there. Afterwards complainant called on Mr. Young, a customer of his at Greenwich, and re ceived forty pounds in Bank notes and gold, which sum he placed in the left-hand pocket of a great coat, which he had borrowed. He then called at the house of a Mr. Davis, a friend of his, and, that gentleman having had a sister married, complainant was prevailed upon to stop there, while he drank the bride's health. From Mr. Davis's house he proceeded in his gig direct towards town, not stop. ping any where until he arrived at the King's Arms, into the yard of which inn he drove, and pulling off the great coat, buttoned the pocket which contained the 40/. and gave it to the ostler, desiring him to take care of the same until his return. Complainant returned to the King's Arms after the lapse of an hour, and upon asking for his great-coat, it was given to him by the prisoner. When, however, he (complainant) put his hand into the pocket, he found that the 401. was gone, and when he spoke to the ostler and told him of the circumstance, he de nied any knowledge of the money, merely saying, that when the coat was given to him he locked it up, and that it had remained in the same place un der lock and key until it was then asked for. Com plainant added, that he was se confident the money was in the great-coat at the time he gave it into the charge of the ostler, that upon missing it he sent for a policeman and gave him into custody. Mr. Harmer asked the complainant what time elapsed from his seeing the 40/. until he entered the King's Arms Inn ? Complainant—l placed the money in my pocket at Greenwich, but had no occasion to pull it out again. On taking off the great coat at the King's Arms, 1 buttoned the pocket, and at the same time I felt that the money was all safe. Although I did not put my hand in the pocket, yet, as there was gold amongst the notes, I state that I distinctly felt it before giving the coat into the prisoner's care. Mr. Harmer—then you are quite sure the money was there, although you did not see it. Complainant (with warmth)—l could take 1,000 oaths of it, if it were necessary, so confident am I of the fact. Mr. Harmer said, that when the accused received the coat he locked it up in a place of safety, of which he kept the key himself. Soon afterwards he was sent over to the Batik of England by his mas ter, and on his return the complainant came back to the inn, and at once accused the prisoner of stealing the 401. out of the great-coat pocket. lie (Mr. Harmer) did not mean to say that Mr. Broughton had not received the money which he accused the ostler of stealing, but the man's character for honesty was above all suspicion, and he (Mr. Broughton) must have been mistaken. Complainant—l deny that lam mistaken. lam positive the 40/. was in the pocket when I gave him the coat to take care of. Mr. CHAMBERS said that it was necessary he should now account for his time from the moment he had drunk the bride's health at Greenwich, until he returned back to the King's Arms Inn, and gave charge of the ostler for felony. It had been asserted that he was intoxicated ; and such an assertion must he substantiated before him (the Magistrate) if such was the case. Complainant—l deny that I was intoxicated, and would take 1,000 oaths, if necessary, that I was not. Mr. CHA:UBERS—You seem to be very fond of that particular number ; this is the second time that you have said that you would have no hesitation in taking a thousand oaths to a particular fact. Pei- Lips you had Letta•r make it a thousand one, and 'hen it will agree with the number of stories in the Arabian Nights.—(Laughter.) Is there any person present who can prove that the complainant was drunk when he gave charge of the accused ? Inspector Sanders of theP division said, that when the complainant came to the station he was decid edly the worse for liquor. Complainant—l could take 1,000 oaths I was not. Mr. CHAMBERS then questioned the complainant ,; to the quantity he had drunk from the time he left the house of Mr. Davis, at Greenwich, until he . 2 .ave the prisoner into custody, and the result was an admission on h s part that he had taken nine •lasses of sherry wine without having had dinner. When asked whether he had taken any wine at the house where he received the 401., he replied, " No, f had no wine with Mr. Young—not an iota, I can declare." In accounting for his time from the moment he 'eft the King's Arms until he returned and gave [he ostler into custody, the complainant intended to have gone to Norwood, instead of which he changed his mind, and went into a house, where he had a .glass of sherry and water, read the newspaper, and afterwards went to the King's Arms and missed he 401. Mr. Jackson, the proprietor of the King's Arms, stated that the prisoner had been upwards of eight yea:s in his service; he had been in the habit of trusting him with large sums of money, and uni formly found him strictly honest. He was con vinced he was perfectly innocent of the alleged charge. The witness added that he saw the com plainant when he charged his man, and be was de cidedly intoxicated at the time. Complainant—l have no objection to let the mat ter end here, as Mr. Jackson has so high an opinion of his man. The worst of the case is the exposure in the newspapers. It is an act of injustice to say I was in liquor. Mr. CHAMBERS said that the fact of his being in 7oxicated was sworn to by three persons, and he was bound to believe their oaths. The parties then left the office. Since the arrival of Earl GREY at his seat at [owick, he has keen received with the greatest enthusiasm ,y the gentry of his native county, whose battle he fought, :when Mr. Cicam.Es GREY, against the powerful Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, the champion of Anti-reform prin ciples in the North. The Noble Earl has intimated that Ids MAJESTY has been pleased to allow him to name three gentlemen to be created Baronets: they are expected to be the Noble Earl's college acquaintances—Mr. IIIiADLAN, of Larkin; Mr. C. WILLIS flrreorc, of Stanhope Castle ; ind Mr. RODDAM, of Boylichope. Most of the Cabinet Ministers are now at their seats in the country, where it is understood they will remain for a month or six weeks, when they will re assemble. Earl GREY is at Howick Hall, in Northum berland. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE at Bowoid, in Wiltshire. The LORD CHANCELLOR at Brougham Hall, in Westmorland. The Earl of CARLISLE at Castle Ho ward, in Yorkshire. The Duke of RICHMOND at Good wood. Sir JAMES GRAHAM at Plymouth. Mr. CHA'. GRANT at Inverness; and Mr. STANLEY at his residence in the Phoenix Park, Dublin. Viscounts GODERICH, Aurinaitr, PALMERSTON, arid MELBOURNE, are the only Cabinet Ministers now in London. Viscount MEI.- soußses patrimonial seat is at Brocket Hall, near Hert ford, a distance of only twenty miles from the metropolis, which enables his Lordship to pay occasional visits there. Since Lord PALMEMTON has been intrusted with the ma nagement of our foreign policy he has seldom visit, d his beautiful villa at Broadlands, near Romsey, in Hampshire. MR. COBBETT AND MR. ATTWOOD.— The currency duel between those gentlemen begin on Tuesday last. Mr. Arrwoon on the first day spoke f,,r five hours, at the end of which the dispute was adjourned until Wednesday. A lerer from Birmingham of the date of that day, says that Mr. ATTWOOD had not then con . . . ,luded, and that Mr. JONES was to he heard on the ssme side before Mr. Cots Err could reply. It is therefore pro bable that the question is not decided even at the present time. A vast number of persons from the great towns of Lancashire, fill every day Mr. BEAanswoaTn's Reposi tory, which is the arena of this great wordy contest. On Wednesday, North Duffield, near Selby, was visited by a thunderstorm, which, though unaccom panied by much rain, excitsd considerable alarm at that place. A barn, belonging to Mr. H. CARR was struck by the electric fluid, and one of the doors was shivered to awns.— York Courant. On Saturday afternoon, this town was visited by a severe thunder -storm, accompanied with heavy rain. As a team of four horses, belonging to Mr. TDOMAS CLARKE, farmer, Ecelesfield, was returning from Derby shire, conveying a waggon load of lime, the electric fluid struck the fore horse and killed it on the spot ; the other three horses and the driver were knocked down, the latter very much injured. A corn-rick in an adjoining field was it the same time set on fire r a kiver of corn, half a mile iistant, and another near Raisen-hall, were at the sane time burnt.— Sheffield Iris. During the thunder-storm on Sunday, a farm house occupied by Mr. MArniEW LEA, parish of Skir beck, was struck by the electric fluid. The lightning entered the roof, passed through four rooms, damaging the ceilings, and setting fire to two doors ; it at length escaped through a window in one of the lower apartments. The only individual in the house was a man named Coon, ,vho was sitting in the lower room smoking a pipe ; he was so much terrified by the occurrence, that he lost all consciousness ; upon his restoration his hack was found to he marked quite black. No material damage was sus tained. A toasting-fork, hanging in one of the lower rooms, attracted the fluid, and was melted in two, as also ;in egg-slice and a pair of steel tongs. The electric fluid +truck some corn-stacks belonging to Mr. REED, of Leas ingham, near Sleaford, and consumed three stacks of bar ley, besides other property, before it could be extinguished. The New Police is stated to have cost three times as much as the same number of foot soldiers, inclu+ ding officers, and all appointments. A favourite nostrum among the lower orders in the metropolis for the cholera is brandy and pepper, mixed with a small quantity of hot water. Many hun dreds who have been seized with pains in the stomach and slight inflammation in the bowels, which their fears have construed into an attack of cholera, have had recourse to this remedy at the outset, with what success it would not be easy to ascertain, though the confidence which number: have in the efficacy of the remedy, may go far towards effecting a cure. The general dose is a small wine glass of hot water and brandy, and a tea-spoonful of pepper, continued at intervals, until the patient is either killed or cured. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH. —On Thursday last, a man named JAMES GREGORY, a workman in the employ of Messrs. COCKER and HIG6IN, machine-maker, Salford, was incautious enough, whilst in a state of considerable perspiration, to drink a large draught of cold water. In a few minutes afterward was observed to fall down, apparently dead. lie lived, however, a very abort time, but never spoke. An inquest, vas held on the body, when a verdict of (' Died by the vti sitation of God" was returned.— York Chronicle, Mr. CLAREMONT, who was for very many years a member of Covent-Garden Theatre, made his exit from this mortal stage on Tuesday last, at his apartments in Percy-street. Although he never appeared in at: higher walks of the drama, he was a useful actor, always it his post, and master of his part. His real name was CLEAvitit, and he was (it is believed) originally a linen draper; on quitting which business for the stage he as .umed the more dramatic congnomen of CLAREMONT. ACCIDENT BY LIGHTNING.—Last Satur day afternoon, a cow, the property of Mr. THOMAS BUCKLE, of Askant Richard, near this city, way killed by the lightning, whilst grazing in a lane near that village..-- York Chronicle. On Tuesday, a vessel, fish laden, reached the Nith, from Shetland, after a voyage of nearly a month's duration, the master of which communicates many parti culars of a most appalling storm which is slightly glanced at in some of the newspapers. Shortly before be sailed, a hurricane arose on the east side of the island of appalling violence, and unprecedented in its effects for the last 30 years. No fewer than 23 boats, manned by six awn each, sunk during the gale; two smacks foundered at the same time, and it is supposed that 15 0 mariner s in all, man y of them fathers of families, have found a wa ter y g rave. So calamitous an event has cast a damp over the harvest of the treacherous deep—season 1832—and converted the industrious community of Shetland into one entire family been of driventen days. t e e Their miles provisions, water, and tiny sup l Uy o f sp i r it s , we r e tho of mourners.
