A CZ) tbr *tins LONDON, W EDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1832. This day, at about five minutes past 2 o'clock, h ls MAJESTY, accompanied by the QUEEN and one of the Ladies in Waiting, arrived from Windsor, in an open carriage and four, at St. James's Palace, escorted by a party of the 14th Li g h t Dragoons. Shortly after t h e arrival of the KING a Court and Levee were held, and afterwards a Privy Council. This day or to-morrow the Forgery Bill will become the law of the land, and the Govern ment will thereby have obtained another claim of Gratitude, for mitigating the severity of our crimi t'd code. Two exceptions are made—n a mely, he forge r y of wills and powers of attorney ; and t hough it is probable that these will also be abolished in time, we think the Lords, on t he whole, have acted wisely in making an ePeriment on the smaller offences of this n ature, before they make the law general. There a re no crimes, except those attended by violence, w hich cause more misery than some species of f org ery ; and had all the sufferings arising from th crimes of FAUNTLEROY been foreseen at e time of his execution, we believe even the humane of those who petitioned for a re 'Non of punishment would have admitted the justice of the sentence carried into effect on that great criminal. Such a crime may at once deprive persons in affluent circumstances of the very means of subsistence—it has driven some to madness, and brought others to an untimely grave.— Juries who would, out of feelings of humanity, forswear themselves to save the life of a person accused of forging a one-pound note, would have no such sympathy for another who had been engaged in the wholesale traffic for years, who had not the plea of want or poverty, and who had, for the purpose of gra. tifying his own licentious passions, robbed the orphan and the widow of their only support. The case of FAuNTLEROy, however, stands quite alone, and there is no chance of the repe tition of a crime of such extent if the Bank only does its duty, or if the law relative to granting powers of attorney were such as it ought to be. The forging of wills, too, is another heinous offence, and merits severe punishment ; but whether the feelings of the public will go to the extent of capital punishment in all cases is very doubtful. At all events, the public will be left to judge, and the Legislature, in another Ses sion, will be guided by their decision. In the absence of Lord WYNFORD from the House of Lords last night, the Earl of ROSSLYN moved an amendment to the Forgery Bill, for the purpose of retaining so much of the laws against forgery as to leave the forgery of testamentary documents and powers of at torney still punishable by death. The LORD CHANCELLOR refused to assent to this amendment, and on the most satisfactory grounds. His Lordship observed that " no suf ficient reason appeared to hint to have been alleged to show wherefore the forgery of wills and powers of attorney should be made an ex ception, and made capital, when the forgery of other documents, less protected by the chances of detection, were subjected to secondary pu nishments." We have heard it rumoured on respectable authority that the garrison of the Portuguese fortress of Almeida has declared for Donna MARIA, and hoisted the standard of the young QUEEN. We trust this rumour may prove authentic. A private express was received in the city this morning from Paris, bringing letters and the Papers of Monday, and the Messager des Cfiainbres, dated yesterday. They contain no thing of interest, and are principally filled with remarks regarding the present state of Ger many, and the final arrangement between Hol land and Belgium. The King of BAVARIA had issued an order prohibiting the introduction of the French Papers into his kingdom ; and tra vellers have to undergo the most rigid investiga tion, tantamount to a denial of residence. A telegraphic despatch had been received from Bayonne, bringing intelligence of Don PEDRO up to as late as the morning of the 6th ; at that time he was at Oporto, and it was expected that a part of his army would march upon Aviero, as he had been joined by a number of militia ; and the inhabitants of Coimbra were waiting for his arrival to join his standard. It was hourly expected at Oporto that Admiral SARTORIUS had had an engagement with the squadron of the Usurper, as a strong cannonade had been heard to the westward, in the direction where Don PEDRO*S fleet was cruising. The result was looked to with much anxiety, as the EM PEROR would immediately march upon Lisbon. Important news was dail y expected in Paris, and the greatest enthusiasm expressed itself in the countenances of the Portuguese, who have little doubt as to the success of the Constitu tional army. A legion of Polish officers was forming at Avignon, which is expected to sail from Brest, in company with the remainder of the Portuguese emigrants, for Oporto.---Private letters from Spain depict that country to be in the greatest state of agitation ; and the tyrant FERDINAND was send ing a strong army to the frontiers of Portugal, and towards the Pyrenees. The KING was hourly expected in Paris from Compiegne, with his numerous suite. Paris was perfectly tranquil at the departure of the express, and the hinds continued pretty steady, at Saturday's quotation. There was no news in the city, direct from Oporto, this morning. A steam-vessel is expected to sail for Oporto with stores, &c., in a few days, on account of Don PEDRO. We remember reading somewhere in SMOL LETT a capital story of a Bath bully, who by dint of his extensive dimensions, his tremendous powers of face, stentorian voice, and astounding impudence, had impressed the city with such awe, that not a man dared do more than whisper in his presence, or contradict even his rankest falsehoods. For two seasons had this strapping Bobadil been the plague and wonder of Bath, when one day, a spirited, quick-witted young stranger, who had come to reside there for a few days, happened to detect him doing the ingenious at a gambling table, and notwithstanding the terrors of his be_ whiskered countenance, " fierce as ten furies, ter rible as hell," twitted him with the appellation of swindler, twitched him by the nose, and finally kicked him out of the room, to the indescribable astonishment of the whole neighbourhood, who were with difficulty brought to believe that the terrific creature which had so long sate like a n incubus on their reason, was nothing more than, to use CONGREVE'S phrase, " a pop-gun charged with wind." Now to our appli cation. The Frankfort edicts are the Bath bully ; the citizens who shrunk aghast at the terrors of his frown are the petty German principalities. We do not mean to assert that these princip a li t i es are yet quite panic-stricken, (and so f ar our parallel is inapposite,) but this we will assert, that they are far more su pine than they should be—far less decided than they should be—far less unanimous than they should be—and that it is to this very supineness, indecision, and want of unanimity, that overwhelming infl uence of the tt the Frankfort edicts is owing. The apprehensions of the Ger mans arm their tyrants with tenfold power, as a figure, seen dimly in the dark, looks twice the size of the same figure seen in broad day-light. Let Germany but muster up courage enough to pre sent a bold front toher oppressors, and from that moment, their right arm, like King RICHARD'S under the spells of sorcery, is dwarfed, shrunk up, and blasted. But each day, nay, we might almost add, each hour, that is passed by the Germans in inactivity, subtracts as much from their capability of resistance, as it adds to the power of their tyrants. The forbearance of the one is the triumph of the other. We hope that the people of Germany will shortly shake off this criminal inactivity, and wake up, not to grumble, but to speak right out; not to talk, but to act ; otherwise the sunny moment will have slipped by, and the night have come " when no man can work." As yet, however, our accounts from Germany give no reports of any de cided constitutional steps being taken by the people. From all we can hear, they seem perplexed and bewildered ; but this we feel assured cannot last ; for it is impossible that a mighty, an enlightened nation like Germany, to which Europe is indebted for such inestimable benefits, which furnished us with a Luther, and created for us the hundred-handed Briareus of the Press,—it is impossible, we repeat, that such a nation can be dead to the recollections of the past, and basely succumb to the grossest, the most degrading tyranny that ever yet cursed the earth. The following unanswerable argument against a high duty on advertisements is taken from Mr. BABBAGE'S work on the " Economy of Manu factures," a book which contains more interest ing information on these subjects than any other perhaps in any laßguage :—" The tax on adver tisements is an impolitic tax when contrasted with that upon paper and other materials em ployed. The object of all advertisements is, by making known articles for sale, to procure for them a better price, if the sale is to be by auction, or a larger extent of sale if by retail dealers. Now, the more any article is known, the more quickly it is discovered whether it contributes to the comfort or advantage of the public ; and the more quickly its consumption is assured if it is found valuable. It would ap pear, then, that every tax on communicating in formation respecting articles which are the sub jects of taxation in another shape, is one which must considerably reduce the amount that would have been raised, had no impediment been placed in the way of making known to the public their qualities and their price." INSURRECTION IN JAMAICA. PUBLIC MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) A meeting of persons of every religious denomination was held to-day at Exeter-hall, Strand, for the purpose of considering the intelligence which had been recently received from Jamaica of the treatment of the missionaries and their converts, and to adopt such measures thereon as might appear desirable. At 12 o'clock, when the Right Hon. Lord HENLEY took the chair, the great room was thronged, chiefly with well dressed females. The Hon. and Rev. GERARD NOEL commenced the proceedings with an appropriate prayer. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the meeting to the advertisement calling them together, and said that in accordance therewith, he only addressed himself to the friends of Christian Missions ; as to any other questions in some measure connected with it, this was not the occasion or the arena for discussing such . topics. This was a meet ing of peace, and not one whose object was to oppose any particular proposition. One of the objects of the present meeting was the support and comfort of Christian mission aries now unfortunately under persecution. The pious men, whose labours they were called on to support, had endured great affliction. He would not anticipate the recital of the enormities which he was sure in this Christian country would meet with the reprobation of all good Christians. It would also be their duty, before they separated, to record their sentiments upan the existence of that cruel and oppressive system--the system of slavery. That system had been attempted to be upheld by Scrip. ture, but the slavery stated in the Scriptures was no more to be compared with the slavery of the present day in the West Indies, than Protestantism was to be compared to the idolatry of the East.—(Cheers.) The Rev. P. DUNCOMER, Wesleyan missionary, in Jamaica, proceeded to give a history of the difficulties en countered by the Wesleyan Missionaries since the first commencement of their labours in Jamaica, leaving, as he said, other gentlemen present to detail the grievances suffered by the Missionaries of other denominations. He expressed his intention of doing so as calmly and dispassion ately as possible, avoiding all controversial subjects, and abstaining from touching upon the civil or political ques tion of slavery, except only so far as it was connected with Christianity and Christian missions. The late religious persecutions that had disgraced the island of Jamaica were only p irt and parcel of the system of opposition to missions which had long prevailed there. Previous to the introduction of Christian missions in Jamaica, both the form and the power of religion were unknown there, and for a century after it became a British colony, net more than fifteen churches were built, but they were rarely all pe o s o p: ed ou t o f t a h e Sabbath, p opuia tion of f nd half a indeedi million i s i icoanr attended e a n d h e u d n dred any of them. About 1789 was the dawn of a brighter day, and same attention was paid to the religious instruction of the negra pop u l at i on. In 1790 the oldest Wesleyan chapel was opened, b ut t h e congregations were constantly in terrupted by lawless mobs of whites. The mission., however, spite of opposition, continued to multiply. In 1802 an Act of the Colonial Legislature was passed to prevent persons from preaching unless qualified by the laws of Great Britain and of Ireland. Under that Act, a preacher named Williams was committed to gaol for a month, but as soon as the ex istence of such a statute was known in the mother country it was disallowed by his Majesty.—(Cheers.) In 1805 an ordinance was issued in the colony, making it penal for any missionary to have prayer meetings, at which people of colour attended between sun set and sun rise, and under that power a Christian missionary was cast into gaol. This law was then only partial, and it was in contemplation to make it more ge neral, but from the fear that his Majesty would not sanction it, they introduced two clauses in the slave law, inflicting a penalty of 20/. upon any missionary for every slave who attended his congregation. As soon, however, as that law was known in the mother country, it was also disallowed.—(Cheer.) Mr. Duncombe pro ceeded at great length to detail various other acts of oppo sition on the part of the local Government, together with the general(' isapproval of those acts by the then Lieut.-Governor, Sir J. Keane, and the encouragement held out to missions by hie Majesty's Government, and then took a history of the late rebellion among the slaves. That rebellion, he said, was chiefly confined to the parish of St. Anne, and the borders of the adjacent parishes. It had been charged against the missionaries, that they had been the chief cause of the rebellion, by instilling bad feelings into the minds of the slaves.—(Hear, hear.) He declared, such a charge to be false; neither, the Wesleyan mission aries, nor those of the Baptist or Moravian persuasions were at all connected with the rising—indeed, he might truly say, that the missionaries had been the cause of pre serving the peace for many years past.—(Cheers.) The slave-owners had met in parishes, and passed violent re solutions, declarinz that it was intended to take their Ma jesty's übjrtBy(the slaves) from them, and reques ti ng to b e absolved from th e ir oath of allegianc e . A s to th e s l aves , a more l o y a l b o d y was not to b e f oun d amongst his ects, for lie had heard them speak with vene ration of the King, and he had seen them bedew the me mory of George the Fourth with their tears.—(Cheers.) He then went into details respecting individual ne groes who had been punished, although it was proved that they had not been concerned in the rebellion, but on the contrary, they had proved highly useful in taking care of their masters estates while the Whites we-e out on military duty. Such was the feeling among the whites against the missionaries that several chapels in the interior had been razed to the ground, and that the chapels in Kingston were only preserved from a similar fate by the interference of a great number of free persons of colour, who armed themselves, and expressed their intention to defend the property of their friends, the missionaries, to the las'. He felt confident in stating that there was no source of redress for these grievances in Jamaica, for the late At torney-General had stated that he could not proceed against parties, unless by a Bench warrant, and that could not be procured, the offences of the white persons in pull ing down and burning the missionaries chapels being only a misdemeanour. The present Attorney-General took a dif ferent view of the matter, but his well-meaning intention were put an end to by the invariable practice of the grand jury to ignore the bills. He attached no blame whatever to the Governor of Jamaica for these proceedings, for he felt convinced that he was placed in such circumstances as to render it almost morally impossible for him to coals at the truth, being surrolanded, as h e was , by p re j u di ce d men . i Such being the case, t was to this country that the slaves and inissionarie: looked, from whose hands they expected complete justice.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Nirsf. Man, then addressed the meeting. He appeared before them in no political point of view, but as the friend of humanity and justice.—The Rev. Gentle man had not concluded his address when our reporter left. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) YOUNG v. WINCHESTER, and THORNTON r. YOUNG. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN was instructed to say that in these causes, the parties, as he had anticipated, had not been able to come to an arrangement. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said—Well, then, I have not made up my mind upon the pre-emption, which is the only thing now in doub►. I have no doubt whatever as to the waiver. lam clear there has not been a waiver, and that there cannot be a sale of the whole ; but whether you have the pre-emption with you—whether you shall have it sold in the more beneficial way for you, I have not yet made up my mind. I rather incline against you upon that. In the course of ten days or a fortnight I shall hand my judgment to the Registrar, so that there may be as little delay as possible. You see it is not peculiar to this Court to decide upon arbitration any more than a Court of Law—this Court will not enforce an agreement any more than it will enforce a bond of reference. HILLIER r. PARKINSON. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that when this cue had come before him before, he bad paid great attention to it, and he now adhered, for the reasons than given, to the judgment he had on that occasion delivered.—Bill dis missed with coats. UNSWORTH V. WOODCOCK. His LORDSHIP agreed with his Honour the Vice-Chan cellor, in the view he had taken of this case, and dis missed the appeal with costs. IN RE BRANDE D A LUNATIC. The LORD CHANCELLOR had looked carefully into tb;s matter ; the question in which affected the power of the Great Seal to sell an estate of which the lunatic was tenant in tail. The question was encumbered with great difficulty, and probably required to he further discussed. . . Sir EDWARD SIJGDEN Paid that his client would con sider it, and if they were advised it would be'likely to be of any advantage, they would have it re-argued after the Court met again. RUSSELL V. COWLEY. This was a case for a special injunction, upon notice, appointed to have come on to-d3y, but in consequence of the lateness at which the affidavits had been filed, it had to stand over till next term. IN RE PATON, A LUNATIC. This matter could not be heard in consequence of new affidavits having been filed, and i► was arranged that one Counsel on a side should attend his Lordship to-morrow morning, at half-past eight o'clock, for the purpose of discussing it. wOODCROFT V. BROOKS. Sir E. SUGDEN applied for an injunction ez-pane on behalf of the plaintiffs in this case, to issue against the defendants, restraining them from further carrying into operation, emp l oy i ng , us i ng , exerc i s i ng , an d ven di ng , snaking, constructing, selling, or keeping, the processes and apparatus mentioned in the pleadings fin- the printing and preparing for manufacture yarns of linen, cotton, silk, woollen, or any other fibrous substances, in violation of a patent obtained by the plaintiff on the 31st of March, 1827. The Loßn CHANCELLOR said it did not appear to him that there was anything to prevent him in this case issuing the injunction ; still, as it was tile last day of the sitting he would take the bill and affidavit home with him before decidedly directing the injunction to issue. He wished some means could have been devised before this for the purpose in a measure of obviating the evil which frequently happened in cases where ex parte injunctions were granted just at the rising of the Court for the long vacation ; but he regretted that there had no thing yet occurred to him that could practically be put into operation in this respect. BLISSETT V. FLOWER. Mr. KINDESLEY obtained an injunction ex-parte, re straining the defendant from proceeding to pirate and to publish Lady Blissett's work, called A Journal of Con versation with Lord Byron. The LORD CHANCELLOR had some difficulty in deci ding whether the Journal was a work to which the pro tection of the Court ought to be extended, but ultimately directed the injunction to go. IN RE BAGSTER, A LUNATIC. Sir E. SUODEN took an order of the Court by consent, confirming the Master's report appointing Mrs. Bagater to be the committee of the person, and Mr. Henry Woodley to be the committee of the estate ; and referring it back to the Master to fix a maintenance to be allowed to the mother for her daughter, to inquire what proceedings should be taken to annul the marriage, and to tax the mother's expenses in the course of this proceeding ; with liberty to the Master to make separate reports as to any of the matter, or to state any spe cial circumstances he might think proper. A part of the prayer was for a reference to the Master, to inquire whe ther it would be expedient to institute any criminal pro ceedings against Mr. Newton and other parties; but the learned Counsel stated that they did not press for that part of the prayer at present. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK. We have but one arrival this morning of ship letters from Bermuda, with an old Dutch mail, which causes us to he exceedingly dull in the city for a supply of political news. In the mean time there is a report that Don Mi guel's squadron has escaped that of his brother's, and has proceeded to retake Terceira, having troops on board fur that purpose. We hear that the King's Speech was finished last night for the prorogation of Parliament. The Dutch steamer is hourly expected, but it is not supposed it will bring any news of consequence, as the final result of the affairs will come from Brussels. Till FUNDS. Consols opened as they left off yesterday, 83i ; after.. wards were done at 84 ; at present they are B:3i 84 for the Account. This is settling-day in the Foreign Market ; they are busy arranging their accounts. HALF-PAST ONE. We are informed from a respectable source that Van de Weyer is daily expected in England, furnished with full powers to arrange finally, on the part of the King of Bel gium, a peace with Holland ; and we understand that the only difference now remaining to settle is, that the Dutch refuse to pay a duty on their ships entering Antwerp, which is expected to be amicably arranged. We do not hear, up to the present hour, of any ex press having arrived in the City from Paris, by which w e may infer that no political occurrence has taken place in the above capital. Console, which were in the early part of the morning at 83k, have since improved to 84i for the Account, and for the next time 841. In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock has improved. We have not heard of any failures. We have received no further accounts from Portugal. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for account, 84. FOUR O'CLOCK CLOSING PRICES.

The incidents of this little tale, which is yet in its infancy, though few, are pleasingly and even impressively told. The writer has quick and keen conception of the picturesque, and dashes off a landscape, with a few vivid graphic touches, that we at once recognize as genuine nature. The female figure, too, he de• scribes with all the gusto of a sculptor ; his heroine Circe,—a most appropriate name for the heroine of a newly-fledged poet—is really a most bewitching creature, full of life, love. and sentiment. The scene where she provokes the libidinous appetite of a grim old smuggler, and is rescued by young Selwyn, the natural son, is pourtrayed with singular vigour. But we prefer the author in his softer moments: tograpple with a smuggler, either in reality or fiction, re quires no ordinary address and energy. The subjoined extract is very pleasing:— Who could she be, that over her compeers Had such an air, and majesty of mien ? Scarce twenty springs made up her sum of years, Yet never symmetry more true was seen; — So moves a wild swan when its crest it rears, And walks the desert waters—like a Queen : Her snow-white arm gleamed through the filmy crape, And oh! her foot—its little witching shape! Agile, yet delicately feminine, As airy Naiad by a woodland rill ; Her stature, though not tall, was tempered fine, Fair as the image of Pygmalion's skill ; Her Parian shoulders had a droop divine, Their symmetry encircled by a frill; Whilst heaved her bosom 'neath the network white, As glows the moonbeam through the veil of night. CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY, No. L XXV, LONDON, 1832. The present volume of this delightfully varied miscellany, which contains some of the best writings— Lockhart's Memoirs of Burns fcr instance—of some of the best writers of the day, comprises the natural history, profusely embel lished with engravings, of butterflies, moths, and sphynxes. For this curious and novel perform ance we are indebted to the practised pen of Captain Thomas Brown, President of the Royal Physical Society, who has furnished us with some entertaining particulars respecting what he quaietly calls " the indirect injuries to man kind from butterflies." The work will be com pleted in a second volume. HOWARD'S SHAKSPEARE, No. XXIII. This work now verges rapidly to a close, and has more than fulfilled the high expectations to which its first appearance gave rise. The pre sent illustrations are of the tragedy of King Lear. They are of a high order of excellence. Mr. Howard does more justice to Shakspeare's tragedies than his comedies. lii the more im passioned scenes of King Lear, he exhibits him self to considerable advantage. Lear cursing his daughters is forcibly conceived and executed : the expression of the old man's countenance, his striking attitude, and the significant wave of his hand, remind us,—no slight compliment to Mr. Howard—of Kean's Lear, when that impressive tragedian is in one of his most fortunate moments. The sixth illustration—Kent in the stocks—is also well portrayed, and places Shakspeare's finely-felt description vividly before the mind's eye. When complete, this work will be a valu able appendage to the dramas of Shakspeare. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.) OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLoucEsTER, AUG. 14. William Drinkwater, a man of respectable appearance, was indicted for stealing at Churcbam, on the 30th May, 16 ewe sheep and 10 lambs, the property of John Gurney. The circumstances as detailed by the witnesses were conclu sive against the prisoner, and he was sentenced to transpor tation for life. The prisoner was a butcher, and Mr. Baron GURNEY, in sentencing him, told him that it be came particularly dangerous to society when persons of his profession committed the crime of cattle stealing, from the means they had of making away with the plunder. William lVagland was indicted for stealing two oxen on the 10th of May last, the property of John Day. By the evidence of John Day, the prosecutor, and his witnesses, it appeared that the prisoner was entrusted by him, the prosecutor, with the oxen, to take to market, but that he stepped at Didmarton, in this county, and sold them for 141., and immediately upon selling them, got upon the Devonport mail, and went off in an opposite direction to that in which he should have gone. The prosecutor, on his cross-examination, declared, with muck severity of manner, that the prisoner should have no mercy from him, but that the law should go to the fullest extent in punishing him. The prisoner, in his defence, said that his master, the prosecutor, was drunk when he gave him the order to take the beasts to market, but that he desired him to sell them for as much as he could get, if they should fall lame, and that it was because the oxen bad fallen lame that he sold them. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to transportation for life. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT. CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH. COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.)

Mrs. WATLETT has added another leaf to her laurels, she sings, acts, and looks delightfully as Zaraph. This is the only drama in our remembrance in which the mortal characters are antedeluvians. The music is of a very high order, not made up of a selection of the mere prettinesses of popular composers, but the very gems of ROSSINI, AUGER, and PuclrrA. A duet (Cara pupille) between Mrs. Cm/trail.); and Mrs. WAYLETT is the most lelicious morceau we ever heard upon the English stage. \lrs. Hownv, who enacts the lady-love of the Spirit of Song, is a beautiful creature, remarkably like what we remember Madame VESTRIS to have been, and with every promise of becoming as pre-eminent in her profession as th It fascinating woman now is. The last scene, in which her mortal lover Korah (Mr. W. H. Rena) bids her art well, is a highly-wrought piece of pathos, in which Mrs. HONEY and Mr. Rena fairly divide the applause and rears of their auditors; there is an intensity of mental agony in the subdued tone of the whole scene that speaks a pure ttste in the performers. The piece is written by Mr. Revs, the author of The Judgment of Paris. MORE RIOTS AT BRISTOL. (From a Correspondent.) At two o'clock yesterday afternoon the Political Union were to hold their Reform dinner on Brandon Hill, near Bristol. Tables were covered for many hundreds, and all was likely to proceed peaceably and comfortably, when, just as the company were about to take their seats, an im— mense gang of party ruffians commenced an indiscrimi• nate attack, not only on the parties present, tot destroyed every thing that came in their way. Of course a dreadful scene of confusion followed, the mob carried away knives and forks and everything that was portable. Nothing could exceed the confusion that prevailed. Surely the legal authorities of l3ristol must he very remiss in their duties to suffer the respectable inhabitants to be at the mercy of a wretched rabble. We should have thought that they had had a tolerable lesson during the Wetherell affair. Our informant left Bristol at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. CASE OF DISTRESS. Of all the cases of distress with which we are ac quainted, one of the most distressing is that of Mr. Thomas Morgan and his wife. We would strongly recom mend them to the benevolent, in the hope they will extend their charitable assistance, be it ever so small, to establish them in some little way of business, that would produce them a subsistence for their few remaining years, and rescue them from ending their days in a workhouse. This respectable couple, who are now about seventy years of age, were upwards of twenty-six years as office and house-keepers at The Sun paper, during the time of the following proprietors, Mr. Heriot, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Taylor. Seven years ago, in consequence of Thomas Morgan being severely afflicted with rheumatic pains in his limbs, which rendered him so lame that he was un able to attend to the duties of the office, and Mrs. Mor gan being old and infirm, they resigned their situation, and ever since had to live on the produce of their former sav ings. Meeting with some losses which they did not foresee, they are now thrown on the mercy of the world. Hoping that this may meet the eye of some benevolent individuals, we trust they will render their charitable as sistance. The truth of this statement may be learned at this office, or at any of the other daily Papers.

There has been very little betting on the Goodwood Stakes to be run to-morrow ; the only horses backed are Lucetta, The Screw, and Lucy, who are very nearly to gether in the odds. For the Cup, Priam is backed at 5 to 4, St. Giles at 7 to 2, Lady Fly is at 6 to 1, Rowton at 7 to 1, and 7 to 1 was offered against Beiram after winning the Drawing Room Stakes this afternoon.

The illuminations were ex tremely splendid. A great deal of admiration was justly excited by a beautiful device of a crown, and the word " ADILAIDE" displayed in variously-coloured lamps, and surrounded by laurel wreaths. The effect of this orna mental illumination was magnificent. The fireworks were the most splendid of the season, and afforded the utmost satisfaction to the company, which was numerous and respectable. The eclat of the entertainments was greatly heightened by the favourable state of the weather. The shooters on the moors, who commenced their operations on Monday, complain bitterly of the ex cessive heat of the weather ; and so do those who have re ceived the grouse in a half-putrid state. Nothing can exceed the timely genial nature of the rain which has fallen since the harvest commenced; having been just sufficient to promote vegetation, without, in the slightest degree, injuring, or even impeding, the gathering of the crops. appe lsi ar E: fr C om ll U th ß e CH Pa E r S li . , --Dtl a rin me riy Commissioners, that twenty new churches and chapels, with accommodation for 26,361 per sons, r free seats, hate been erected under their supetintendence.
