The following copy of a Letter has been received by Colonel Macdonell of Glengarry : " Colonel Macdonell of Glengarry. "My dear Glengarry—l have the pleasure of transmitting to you an honourable testimonial, which is contained in a letter from Mr. Peel to me, of yesterday's date, and which, I have no doubt, will give pleasure to the gentlemen who accompanied :Int late occasion. lam always, very truly, yours, (Signed) " WALTER SCOTT. ".Abbotsford, August 29." " The King wishes , to. ake you the channel of conveying to the Highland Chiefs and their followers, who have given to the varied scene which we hare witnessed so peculiar and romantic a character, his particular thanks for their attendance, and his warm approbation of their uniform deportment. He does jus tice to the ardent spirit of loyalty by which they are animated ; and is convinced that he could offer no recompence for their ser vice so gratifying to them as the assurances which I now con vey, of the esteem and approbation of their Sovereign." The same agreeable communication has been made by Sir Walter Scott to the various Chiefs of Clans and Highland Gen tlemen, who gave their attendance during the royal visit.— ( Caledonian Mercury.) Two.companies of the 73d Regiment of Foot (General George Lord Harris, G.C.B. Colonel), are ordered to march from Weedon on Thursday next, for Chester Barracks, in order to relieve a detachment of the 15th (or York East Riding) Regi ment of Foot (Lieut-General Sir 31.

The 66th Regiment passed through Newcastle - last week on its route from Edinburgh to Sunderland Barracks. The 3d Dragoon Guards have arrived at Newcastle Barracks, from the same7,city. Yesterday forenoon the 13th Regiment, at present in the Castle, was reviewed on Burntsfield Links, by Major-General Sir T. Bradford, the Commander-in-Chief, who was pleased to express himself in terms of high commendation at the clean, steady, and soldier-like appearance of the corps.—Forty.four fine young men, raised in Scotland for the Honourable East India Company's service, were embarked at Leith yesterday forenoon for Chatham, previously to sailing for India.—( Edin burgh Courant, Sept. 14.)

AMERICA.—We frequently read of the most distressing accidents by parents going to visit their neighbours in the evening and, leaving their children at home locked up in the house. A recent and most shocking casualty of this kind occurred on the 21st of June at Munroe in Louisiana. Five negro children were left in a cabin which by some accident` caught fire. The door being locked, the wretched inmates were unable to make their escape. The father and mother of the children, who were at some distance, upon discovering the fire, hastened immediately to their as sistance, but all their attempts to reach the door, or to ef fect a rescue, were unavailing; and they were compelled. to witness their unfortunate offspring perish in the flames, without being able to relieve or assist them. On clearing away the rub bish next day, scarcely a vestige of their remains could be dis covered.—( N. Y. Evening Post.) • The dysentery prevails to an alarming extent in some of the back counties of Pennsylvania, and great numbers bave fallen victims to it. The Turkish frigate, to which of late public attention has been so much directed, was yester day towed from Deptford to Gravesend by the Talbot steam packet. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--(Further Particulars of the' Dreadful Accident of the Tally-ho Coach, which was upset yes terday at the bottom of Blackheath Hill.)—Major M'CLoun, who was a passenger and a very fine young man, little hopes are entertained of his recovery, as not a vestige of his face is left except his eyes ; not one of the passengers have escaped without broken legs or arms, and it is feared that several of them will lose their lives. After the accident happened most of the passengers were conveyed back again to 'Woolwich, some on men's shoulders, and others on caravans, when they were immediately attended by four surgeons of the Hospital. The above coach was overturned by turning round at the bot tom of the hill in full speed, when it was dashed into a thou sand pieces. POTATOES ABUNDANT—EXTRAORDINARY BAR OAIN.—A farmer's son, in the neighbourhood of Paisley, finds his potatoe crop so abundant, that, on Thursday last, he en gaged to supply a person with one million potatoes for 31. We suspect our farmer is no great calculator, or that his potatoes must be smaller than any we could have supposed had grown this season. At the rate of of 256 potatoes to the peck, as ascertained by a Gentleman who had the curiosity to try, a million would make 213 bolls !—(Glasgow Courier, Sept. 14.) We find that the proposed change in the in terest allowed on accounts by the bankers in this city and county, from three to two and a half per cent. per annum, will take place on the Ist of next October.—(Norwich Mercury.)

The performance, on Thursday morning, at the Cathedral, excited a considerable degree of interest, from the circumstance of a new Oratorio, called Crucifixion, to be performed for the first time, composed by Dr. CLARKE WHITFIELD, Organist of the Cathedral, and Professor of , Music at the University of Cambridge, and we believe the unprecedented circumstance of such an attempt out of the Metropolis. The result proved most highly flattering to the Doctor, whose abilities as. a composer are well known to the musical world and the public at large; of course no approbation is permitted in a place of worship. The Overture had three movements; the middle one was a most delightful Fugue.—The whole of the music was most scientifi cally and appropriately adapted to the words of the Divine event of the Crucifixion, of which the Oratorio consists. The solos and verse contain most admirable melodies, although upon such an awfully sublime, yet tragic event ; they were given with very fine effect by iss Stephens, Miss D. Travis, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. W. Knyvett, and Mr. Bellamy, particu larly a Solo by Mr. Vaughan, sen. and a Duet between him and Mr. Knyvett. The Choruses were admirable, and in the style of Handel. 'One of them in a novel manner of expression, in imitation of the crowd calling to Pilate for the crucifixion of our Saviour. The whole of it was not performed, but only sufli dent to constitute the first part of theperformance. The second part consisted of a selection from the Creation, in which Mr. Bellamv's fine full-toned bass voice was heard to great advan tage in the Recitation ; and Mrs. Salmon was, as usual, de lightful in " With Verdure Clad." In the third part Mr. W. Knyvett's Coronation Anthem was performed. The admired Duet; " The Lord is a Man of War," was most admirably sung by Mr. Bellamy and Mr. Rolle. Miss Stephens gave the Solo leading into the " Horse and his Rider" with most rap turous power of voice. The Cathedral was well filled.—The Shire Hall was again filled in the evening.—The Concert con cluded with " God save the King," ,verse and chorus. • There were Balls after each Concert' in the Shire Hall, ,but it,was so extremely crowded on Wednesday night that very little dancing took place. PRESTON GUILD FESTIVAL. ELEVENTH DAY, SEPT. 13. ORATORIO.—The concluding Musical Meeting was much better attended than any of the former performances. The grand composition of the Creation gave full scope for the exer tions of the splendid talents of the vocal and instrumental per formers, and was most admirably executed. We have no room to describe their individual excellencies and science ; and as we have already, in our foregoing remarks, pointed out their ca pabilities' and claims to public • approbation, we can only re peat, that upon this occasion they lost none of their well earned reputation. THE MASQUERADE.—The closing scene of. the Guild fes tivities has now flitted before us. In the midst of the many gaieties which have risen in rapid succession, the'anticipation of the masquerade was never lost sight of by the busy throng who have . resorted to this magic ' spot in search of innocent amusement and fascinating delight; and when we say that the reality has equalled all that could have been promised to the warmest imagination, we do not overstep the boundaries of truth. The gay votaries of pleasure began early to assemble in the rooms, where, during the last fortnight; joy and hilarity have held their court; and at ten o'clock the rooms' were crowded to excess, by parties in every variety of costume, and supporting every shade of charos,tp, which the most ertile fancy could suggest. - By previotitedirangement, announced in hand-bills, the company unmasked about half-past eleven ; and it formed no inconsiderable portion of the amusement for friends to recognise each other in the variously assumed dress and manners most opposite to their accustomed habits. The rest of the evening, or rather morning, was spent in dancing or parading as at a fancy ball. • NoßTHualnEnrati ID HOUSE.—The Long Gallery, that nobly proportioned specimen of ancient architecture, is com pleted. The expence already incurred has been one hundred thousand pounds. All the front next the Strand are servants' rooms. It is now undergoing a thorough repair, and already presents a beautiful appearance. ARCHITECT URAL IMPROVEMEN TS.—A new square is now forming to the North-west of Connaught-place. Only one house has yet been erected. That long neglected pile, intended for the Duke of Gloucester, has been at last finished. THE HERTFORD PROFERT y —We understand it is quite true, that the Dowager Marchioness of HERTFORD made over to her son, the present Marquis, the magnificent legacy of two hundred thousand pounds, left to her by the will of the late Marquis, and also that she has settled three thousand pounds a year upon her sister, Lady Wm. Gordon, and eleven hundred pounds a year upon her two nieces and nephew, Misses Meynell and Capt. Meynell. The Yorkshire Estate, as mentioned, is her Ladyship's property from her own family, and descended to her from her father, the late Viscount Irwin. Upon her Ladyship's death it goes to Lady Win. Gordon, her next sister ; and upon her death, to the eldest son of the late Mrs. 3leynell, the third sister. Its annual value is much exceeded in the paragraphs that have appeared in some of the Papers.— ( Morning Post.) EARLDOM OF CRAUFURD AND LINDSAY.—A Corres pondent says,—" We are fully authorised to state that the pe tition and case of JOHN kiNDSAY CRAUFURD, Esq., claiming to be Earl of Craufurd and Lindsay, was some time previous to the close of the last Session of Parlia ment referred by his Majesty to the House of Peers, and forwarded by the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, to the Lords' Committee of Privileges. This celebrat ed case is now under the consideration of their Lordships, and Mr. Craufurd's counsel and agents anxiously wait the com mencement of the next Session, to establish his right to thOse illustrious honours. Those who may have any interest in this important claim will then have an opportunity . to be heard ; but the publication of any premature observations or state ments relative to its merits, will be visited with an immediate and rigorous prosecution, and we doubt not with the infliction of thae pains and penalties which the parties offending will incur by so gross and flagrant a breach of their Lordships' privileges.—( Morning Herald.) MR. LIVINGSTONE'S BALLOON.—A Gentleman of York, who was enjoying field sports on Monday afternoon, about five o'clock, in the vicinity of Bubwith, about 16 miles S.E. of York, was agreeably surprised by the appearance of a magnificent Balloon sailing above his head in an easterly direc tion, but evidently disposed for descension. Pursuing the direc tion it was moving in, he finally found its grapples entangled in a tree, and the machine itself labouring hard for re-ascension. With much trouble he had it secured and delivered to the care of a farmer of the name of Chaplin. In the car were found the fragments of a glass bottle and some few bits of biscuit. It proved to be, the Balloon in which Mr. LIVINGSTONE had ascended at Preston. Among the various occurrences during our races, we have to notice an assault made upon Mr. MYTTON and Mr. BETTY (the celebrated Roscius.) These Gentlemen were walking in the street, opposite the George Inn, about one o'clock on Wednesday morning the llth inst., when four in solent fellows hustled and insulted them in various ways. Mr. Mytton's hat was knocked off, and one of the men snatched Mr. Betty's watch out of the fob, but having a safety chai n attac h e d to it, the villain failed in his object. Mr. Mytton seized one of the men, and held him until the patrol came, when he was conveyed to the gaol; the others effected their escape.---( Lick field llfercurzb j , _ ........ -.-.....„.. d 74 -Th? 4 4 ,,, t,•,,r,,t, ,- , ~,,.•.,if ol i 0.?

Thy namesake, Bamfylde Moore CARE W, Of Beggars was the KING, Yet not from such his blood he drew, But from a noble spring. * Beggars are not content to-ask, 'Tis said, and claims belief, For begging oft is but a mask, To hide a subtle thief. Hence from his race, we may surmise, You gain'd alluring arts, But you disdain the Beggar's 'guise, And 'steal at once our hearts. lience'too we all may well beware, Since could we 'scape thy face, Thy voice, thy talents, would ensnare, And mild endearing grace. Still stronger is thy potent spell The captive heart to bind, For all admire, who know thee well, The merits of thy mind. There Virtue holds her gentle sway, Good sense and modest pride, A temper with discretion gay, And eery charm beside. Then who that lost his heart to you Would of the theft complain ? Or strive his passion to subdue? No—glory in his chain ! And if, how blest would be th' exchange !

The Races may be said to have commenced this,day, and we do not ever recollect observing a greater assemblage of spectators on our Course before on a first day ; in fact, there are more visitors of every description, from the Nobleman to the lowest description of sporting characters, than we ever witnessed on a former occasion. There are 25 horses supposed to start for the St. Leger on Monday the 16th ; they are all in high condition and spirits, with the exception of Euphrosyne, who will not start.

SHOOTING.—The 'dry weather has been unfavourable to Partridge shooting ; the birds are said to be numerous, but re markably shy ' • add to which, there is no scent. The inex perienced shot has therefore come off short.—The number of certificates taken out is said to be considerably less than last year. A subscription has been entered upon for the purpose of presenting a piece of plate to E. L. OKE, Esq. as an acknowledgment of the pleasure which that Gentleman so ma terially contributed to produce in the revival of the Southampton Races. A board is erected in front of the ground of a Cockney, about ten miles from town, on which the subjoined notification is printed : " Dogs and Cats are cautioned against entering this Plea sure Garden, for if they'do, they are assured that they will be shot." OLD BAILEY—(Tnis DAY.) FORGERY.—Thomas Newby was indicted for feloniously forging a piece of silver plate, bear ing the mark of the Goldsmiths' Hall Company. Mr. PRENDERGAST, Counsel for the prisoner, advised him to plead guilty, to which he can sented.—M r. ALLEY observed, that the Company would not offer any evidence on this indictment, but he wished it to he understood'• that this was the last case where mercy would be extended:— The prisoner, who is extremely deaf, was charg ed on three other indictments for selling such pieces of plate with forged and counterfeit marks as aforesaid. To these the prisoner pleaded not guilty, and was removed from the bar for the present.—After the other prisoners had been arraigned, Mr. BOLLAND stated he should offer no ,evidence on the subsequent in dictments,—The prisoner, for the offence, is subject to seven years' transportation.—Mr. Justice BEST said, he hoped that the mercy ex tended on this occasion would not facilitate the commission of the crime. BOXING. The battle between Flowers, the blacksmith, and Weston, the farmer, took place yesterday in the Ashton Pigeon Club fields, Oxon, for one hundred sovereigns. The fight was stop ped on Thursday last in another county, but it was one of great interest between the Ashton and Midgham Pigeon Clubs, and the beaks were not allowed to have every thing their own way, as nothing but fighting was meant. Flowers, who was backed by the Midgham Club, had served many a tidy customer, and Weston had often kicked elite traces. Nothing less than mis chief was meant. THE FIGHT. In the first round the blacksmith was floored from the scratch by a heavy hit under the lug, but he took it quietly, shook his head, and proved himself undeniable. 2. The smith fought at a disadvantage, three parts upon the dorse, and claret was drawn from the nob, until it was 'evident he was careless about it. Courage upheld the frame, and a right hand belly go set the farmer squeamish, and reduced the battle to something near a certainty. Much hard hitting took place in the four subsequent rounds in favour of the smith, but he received a heavy cross-buttock ing throw in the 6th round, which stopped him a bit. The 7th and Bth rounds were tame, compared with what had happened. The men were tired, and nothing but goodness prompted them on. 'Weston was floored in the last of the two rounds. The 9th round won the fight for Flowers. A chance right handed blow set the farmer's head upon the roll, and sensibi lity had bolted away from him with a broken jaw to boot. It was altogether a very manly fight, and blood and bustle kept about equal pace. Randall, it is said, has a rod in pickle for Neale, the Streatham youth, in the person of Dan Kerwin, an Irish lad. Jack Ran - dall says he means it, and the friends of Neale may be accom modated with thirty or fifty sovereigns, by just leaving the blunt with him. Neither Walker nor Lumley are to gammon or to buff in this match. WARD (THE BLACK DIAMOND) AND ABBOTT.—This match for 50 sovereigns a side, was knocked up at St. Alban's, after the fight between Barlow and Hudson, for Ward and Abbott to contend on the 22d of October ; the latter hero de feated Oliver and the Birmingham Youth, and is the favourite on the present occasion. The friends of York, it seems, are not satisfied of his capa bilities. and assert that he was defeated without having an op. portunity of proving his qualifications they have accordingly matched Barlow for another trial against Ward, for 1001., to fight in the same ring after Martin and Randall. ,1 THE LATE DREADFUL DISASTER ON THE RIVER. —The bodies of two of the much-lamented sufferers in the me lancholy catastrophe on Sunday have been picked up. That of Capt. Devereux, of the Success, was found on Tuesday, near the place where the sad accident happened, and was conveyed to Ballyhack, whence it was yesterday morning removed for inter ment to Wexford, the place of his nativity, where his widowed mother, sisters, and other relatives reside. The body of Mr.' Henry Smith was taken up yesterday evening near Cape Cooneen, and brought to the residence of his afflicted parents, in Rose-lane. The sorrowing relatives of Mr. Moses Deve reux and his brother are still without the melancholy consola tion of recovering their remains ; but from the exertions mak ing, it is hoped that they cannot long remain undiscovered.— Many of our fellow-citizens have expressed an intention. of manifesting - their respect for the memory of these deeply-re gretted young gentlemen, and their sympathy for the agonized feelings of their families, by attending their respective funerals in hat-bands and scarves. The remains of Mr. Smith will be taken out for interment at five o'clock this afternoon.—(Wa terford Chronicle, Sept. 11.) THE ADVANTAGES OF INDUSTRY.—Between 'eight and nine o'clock, on Saturday night, as Mrs. Morgan, of No. d, Francis-street, Gray's Inn-lane, was going through Fleet-market, she was surrounded by our or five fellows, who hustled her' about ; on extricating herself, she ma mined her pockets, and found she had been robbed of a sovereign, some silver, a number of pawnbrokers' dupli cates for silver spoons, gold rings, and other articles of value. About eight o'clock yesterday morning she proceeded to the different pawnbrokers, for the purpose of stopping them. The first pawn-broker's she went to was Mr. Turner, of Brydges-street, Covent-Garden, where she was informed the articles she came to stop were just redeemed by a man.— She then proceeded to the shop of another pawn-broker, in Long-acre, and there she was informed that the man who redeemed the articles had not five minutes left the shop.— She then made all the haste sh.e could to another pawn broker's, in Gray's Inn-lane, for the same purpose, and ' there she had better success, for the villain was at the time in one of the private boxes, releasing four table-spoons. He was detained, and Mr. Blake, a cunstable, was sent for, to whom he was given in charge. On being searched , four silver table-spoons, two silver dessert spoons, six silver tea spoons, a silver sugar-loop, several gold finger and 'ear rings, and other articles, the property of Mrs. Morgan, which he had released orn the other pawnbrokers, .were found upon him, besides four other duplicates, , part of those stolen from Mrs. Morgan ; lie had besides 31. 12s. about him. Blake conducted him to the Police-office, Hat ton-garden, where he gave his name, Edward Sta.telicm, and said he got his living by selling apples, at the corner of Stonecutter-street, Fleet-market. Mrs. Morgan identified him as one of the gang who kept hustling her.—The offence being committed in the City, the prisoner was ordered to be taken to Guildhall, before the sitting Alderman. On Tuesday the 3d inst.., Luke Garton, water carrier, was convicted at Sculcoates Public Hall, in the penalty of 51., which was mitigated to one guinea and Costs, for the cruel treatment of his own mare, through the nose of which an iron ring was fixed, with a cord attached to it. The inforniation was laid by.a commercial traveller, and the conviction teak place under Mr. Martin's Act for the prevention of improper treatment and cruelty to animals.—( Lincoln Mercury.) ATTEMPT AT 'SUICIDE IN NEIVGATE.— Yester, day evening, abuut 6 o'clock, Mr. WONTNER was sent for out of. the Sessions-House, and informed that one of the prisoners had made an atteinpt on his. life. That Gentleman instantly repaired. to the prison, and found that a man had made what - appeared to be a deep incision on his throat with some sharp instrument. The unhappy man was lying on a bed bleeding. Surgical assistance was immediately rendered, when on examination it turned out that the incision was little more than skin-deep. The wound was inflicted with a razor ; he is likely to do well. Thursday morning last, a fatal accident befel Miss LEYLAND, an elderly maiden lady, residing in Islington, near Manchester. She was upon a visit at the house of Mr. llampson, of Ratcliffe, and was proceeding thence in a cart to pay .a visit to the Rev. Thomas Parkinson, of Radcliffe Hall, when the wheel unfortunately came in con tact with.that of another cart, belonging to Mr. Bealey, r .the bleacher ; in consequence of which the vehicle in which Miss Leyland rode was overturned, and she was killed upon the spot.
