Mr. MARTIN expressed his regret, " that during the whole time that the lion. Member for Aber deen gave his support to the present Administra tion, he should not have perceived that gross, and unprincipled, and outrageous extravagance which he had since so miraculously discovered PI We may be permitted to express our regret also, that " during the whole time " of such patriotic support, Ministers should not have perceived and distinguished the great talents which Mr. ILUME possessed, and which, no doubt, he assiduously watched every opportunity of bringing under their notice. It is said to have been a misfor tune for this country and the world, that the British Government, ignorant of the gigantic genius of BUONAPARTE, refused to accept his services, when he was a young adventurer, seek ing employment in any quarter where it could be found. It is perhaps equally unfortunate that the present Administration did not in good time discover the vast powers of Mr. IlismE. The first was great in the field—the second is great in the Senate,—and would doubtless have been great in the Cabinet'.—Regret, however, is now unavailing. Mr. lltimE having found that au undiscerning Government remained ignorant of his merits, has successfully appealed to the more just and accurate discrimination of their opponents ; and he is too pure and incorruptible a patriot ever to hold an office in the service of his country, after having carried on so vigorous a warfare against all its public functionaries and public establish- As nothing but the Divine blessing upon the arms of the nation rescued England and the world from the fierce and destroying sword of NAPOLEON,—SO nothing but the Divine blessing upon the National Councils can now preserve them from the error and confusion which the very name of Mr. liumE, by the force of sympathy alone, is so well calculated to excite meats. We congratulate the Commercial Public on the relief from the vexatious and oppressive pro cess of Extents in Aid, which may be expected to result from the folloWing order of the Court of Exchequer. Parties making affidavit that their own debts to the Crown are in danger of being lost, must of course expect to be sub jected to a process of Extent upon their own pro perty ; and thus Extents in Aid will probably never be issued in future, but as' consequences of the chief process having been previously resorted to Order of the Court of Exchequer, respecting the Affidavit on which the Process of Extents in Aid shall in future be • issued.. " Upon the motion of Mr. Attorney-General, it is ordered, that from henceforth no fiat for an Extent in Aid shall be granted, unless the party applying for the same, or some per son or persons on his behalf, shall make affidavit that, unless the process of extent for the debt due to him from his debtor be forthwith issued, the debt due to the Crown from the party applying will be in danger of being lost to the Crown. • " JAMEs ELDERTON, Reg." We have received a file of Savannah Papers to the 18th June. TEXAS.—A Gentleman who has lately arrived from that pro vince represents the condition of the people as miserable in the extreme ; industry is scarcely known, and business of every de scription at a stand ; agriculture is entirely neglected. At St. Antonio, a place once flourishing and popular, nothing but wretchedness was visible ; it is only garrisoned by 75 soldiers. [From the Montevideo Gazette of the 28th April.] The Director of Paraguay still continues his old system of permitting the importation into his province of every thing which adventurers might see fit to bring, but he will not suffer either money, produce, or even the persons who had entered his dominions, to depart. By pursuing this course, he entirely deprives the other provinces of the two esteemed luxuries of yerba and tobacco, and of which the Brazils furnish but an indifferent substitute. General ARTIGAS is still a pri soner in Paraguay, and a deserted convent has been granted to him for a residence. The market of La Plata is glutted with almost every article of importation, particularly with liquors. The House of Commons adjourned last night until Monday next. On Tuesday Mr. CLOUD left town with dis patches for Vienna. On Tuesday the Duke of YORK held a levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by about 30 military officers. His MAJESTY'S travelling carriage and four teen horses arrived last Saturday evening at Nor thallerton, where they remained till Monday morning. - They were expected to pass through Newcastle-upon-Tyne on the following day. THE LATE MR. EMERY.—The remains of this excellent actor and truly worthy man are to he this day consigned to their parent earth at St. Andrew's Church, Holborn. To the honour of the theatrical fraternity, in order to lessen the funeral expences, those who are able to attend the mournful ceremony mean to join the proces sion on foot in its course through Holborn. The zeal of the whole theatrical community of both sexes on this melancholy occasion, and of THE COMMITTEE who manage the concerns of the ensuing BENEFIT, and of the separate SUBSCRIP TION, cannot be sufficiently commended. It may be fairly presumed that the activity of this be nevolent Committee will be productive of some effectual relief for the unhappy family of the deceased. As to the SUBSCRIPTION for the PER MANENT FUND, in support of the numerous and destitute relatives of a man who so eminently contributed to increase " the public stock of harmless pleasures," who ought not to be proud of having their names enrolled on such a RECORD OF HUMANITY !!

During the Royal Duke's absence from Eng land he visited Flanders, Bergen-op-Zoom, Spa, &c. Ilis Grace the Duke of Northumberland entertained the Cor porate Body of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, at Alnwick Castle, on Friday last. Turtle and venison, and all the delicacies of the season, graced the table, while, it is superfluous to add, the winning manners of the Noble Host and Hostess imparted a charm to the scene that will long be remembered His Excellency Mr. Foster, the English Minister at the Court of Denmark, gave a brilliant fete on the 14th ult., at his beautiful villa called Droxninggard. Lord Melbourne entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday; at his house, Whitehall. FEMALE FASHIONS.

VISITOR. — Great preparations are made at Leamington Spa, for the recep tion, this evening, of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, who has taken apartments for the ensuing month, in Union Pa rade. It has been intimated to the Master of the Ceremonies, that her route would be through Oxford; and amongst the various trophies erected in honour of her Royal High ness, a superb triumphal arch, decorated with the letters P.

The Bill for the erection of this most laudable and interest ing object received the Royal Assent in the House of Lords on Tuesday night. It is to be a ,fac simile of the Parthenon of Athens, with a place of worship for 3,000 persons, including his Majesty's forces (sailors and soldiers) stationed in and about Edinburgh. The City of Edinburgh have, in the handsomest manner, granted a site on the Calton Hill for this noble edifice ; and his Majesty, who is the Patron of the undertaking, has gra ciously condescended to lay the foundation atone on the occa sion of his anxiously expected visit to the ancient capital and palace of his Royal ancestors. Notwithstanding the weather was rather unfa vourable last night, we understand that the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, had to boast much elegant company. The Tight Rope Prodigy, young Longuemare, and Miss Hengler, the celebrated Wire Dancer, delighted and astonished the assemblage.—Madame Hengler's Fireworks were exceedingly brilliant. WINE.—An Indian Chief being asked his opi nion of a cask of Madeira wine, presented to him b y an Officer of the East India Company's service, said he thought its juice extracted from women's tongues and lion's hearts, " for after drinking a bottle of it, I can talk for ever, and fight the devil." BARBER'S WIT.—A hair-dresser at Halifax in formed one of his customers, the other morning, that he had just been finishing of an attorney in that place, who had de parted soon after to York, to attend his 'professional duties at the Assizes. On which the Gentleman inquired if he, the barber, had any cause to try there ?—" No," replied the opera tor, " I had much rather shave a lawyer than let a lawyer shave me." _ The English Company from the Theatres of Windsor and Brighton, under the direction of Mr. PENLEY, will commence their representa tions on the 29th of July, at the Theatre of Porte St. Martin. They will successively per form Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and other trage dies of SHAKSPEARE ; and several comedies of OTWAY, CONGREVE, and SHERIDAN.—(Journa, des Dibats.) POETRY. " ROW GENTLY HERE."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Snt—l cannot refrain from making known through the medium of the public press, an instance of gene rosity as gratifying as praiseworthy ; and though I am by no means acquainted with the individual in question (whose sym pathy has manifested itself towards a Family that have lost their only support), yet I feel persuaded he will excuse the li berty taken in. publishing this distinguished act of disinterested kindness. Mr. Clarkson, who keeps a large and highly respectable Aca demy at Bowes Hall, near Greta-bridge,, Yorkshire, for the education of young gentlemen, being in this city a day or two ago, collecting his pupils after their Midsummer vacation, ca sually heard of the death of that worthy character Emery—and of the deep affliction his aged parents, wife, and numerous young offspring were thrown into thereby ; when he instantaneously made the offer to board and educate a son of the deceased for several years gratuitously. This unostentatious diSplay of kindness from one who knew but little of poor Emery cannot be contemplated without eulogizing the benevolent deed, and applauding the generous benefactor. The proposal, I understand, will be laid before the Com mittee by a Member of the same, acting for and in behalf of the afflicted family. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, London, July 31. T. T. L.

Yesterday the Anniversary of the Grand Aquatic Regatta of the inhabitants of Queenhithe took place, according to annual custom, when a handsome wherry and other minor prizes were contested for by six of the free watermen belonging to those Stairs. In the centre of the river a handsome barge was moored, gaily dressed up, "proudly riding o'er the azure realm," with convenient accommodation for the subscribers to the Regatta; a band of music was also on board, and the company were en tertained with a variety of delightful airs, &c. The following Epitaph to the memory of a fa vourite Actor of the Norwich Company, is in the Church-yard of Gillingham, Norfolk:—" Sacred to the memory of Thomas Jackson, comedian, who was engaged December 21, 1741, to play a comic cast of characters in this great theatre, the world, for many of which he was prompted by nature to ex cel. The season being ended—his benefit over—the charges all paid—and his account closed, he made his exit in the tra gedy of death on the 17th of March, 1798, in the full assurance of being called once more to rehearsal, when he hopes to find his forfeits all cleared—his cast of parts beftered-i-and his situ ation made agreeable by Him who paid the great stock-debt for the love he bore to performers in general." INQUEST AT TUNBRIDGE.—On Monday an In quest was taken before Dudley, Esq. coroner, on the body of Miss Sarah Hugford, who died about 7 o'clock on Saturday evening. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased, who was on a visit to the Misses de St. Croix, at Tunbridge, had complained of having had the toothache the night before, and sent a ser vant to the druggist's for a bottle containing half an ounce of laudanum. At about nine o'clock on Sunday morning, the deceased rang her hell, and requested that another bottle of laudanum might be fetched, which was also taken to her in her bedroom. The servant asked if she should bathe her face for her • deceased said " No, put it down, I will do it myself." She apprised her mistress of what had been done, and it was soon after discovered that the deceased had taken the contents of both bottles. Miss de St. Croix then applied to the chymist for something to counteract the effects of the poison, for which purpose he gave her a powder, and recommended calling in surgical aid. Mr. Morris, sur geon, was immediately sent for, who administered such medicines as he thought right, but without effect, as she expired about 5 minutes before 7 o'clock. A servant of the de ceased, who lived with her and her sister in Montague-street, Portman-square, deposed, that during the last two years de- ceased had been subject to fits of insanity, and had been confined ten months under Dr. Monroe, and about four months under Mrs. Thelford, at Clapton—that she accompanied de ceased to Tunbridge, and left her on the following day ; on being asked by one, of the Misses de St: Croix, of the deceas ed's previous state of mind, she said no—the sister of the deceas ed told her not to mention a word about it, telling her that those ladies had been apprised of every thing that it was necessary they should know. The Jury then sent fdr Miss de St. Croix to know if she had been apprised of the deceased's state of mind; Miss de St. Croix stated, that no intimation had been given her of any previous symptoms of insanity ; she was informed that a long illnesS had much weakened Miss Hugford, and left a nervous affection which it was hoped change of air and of place might tend to wear off. The Jury here express ed themselves in strong terms at the conduct of the sister of the deceased, in thus sending her away, and leaving her with ! out that proper protection so necessary to a person in her deli cate state of mind. The Jury, after some consultation, re turned a verdict of Insanity, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Your, JULY 29. CONTEZTED ELECTION OF CANDIDATES FOR TUE BOROUGH OF ALDBOROUGH IN PARLIAMENT. ADDY V. CASS. Mr. SCARLETT stated the plaintiff's case?.—Mr. Robert Addy, a freeman of Aldborough, brought this action against the defendant, who was returning officer for the election of Mem bers of Parliament for Aldborough, to recover a compensation in damages for having corruptly conspired to deprive the plaintiff of his vote. The fact of corrupt motive would be established from the declarations of 'the defendant, that he would do all he could to return such Candidate as should be nominated to the Duke of Newcastle, and leaving no doubt that he meant to reject the plaintiff's vote, with that of others, in order that he might secure his object. It became necessary to state, that on a previous question, with respect to the right of voting for a Member of Parliament for this borough, the mat ter had been referred to a Committee of the Rouse of Commons. It having been set up by interested intlividuals that none but burgesses were entitled to vote, it was finally settled by an Act of Parliament, known by the name of the Grenville Act, that every person who occupied a tenement, and paid scot and lot—whatever that tenement might be—within the township or borough of Aldborough, should be entitled to vote.—To this an obstacle was again interposed, it being determined that none should be entitled to vote who did not possess aright of common. That pretext being beaten down by another Act of Parliament, the next encroachment upon the popular right of vote in such as paid scot and lot, was a pretence by this de fendant of " ancient usage." • The fact was, that Aldborough having been an ancient Roman military station, had been surrounded by high walls, of • which no trace. could be now fbund except the foundation, which was under ground.— This the defendant pretended to distinguish as the limits of the borough, so as to exclude the defendant's right of vote because he happened to reside a few yards beyond this. ancient wall.— But prior to this the defendant had rejeCted the plaintiff's vote on the pretence that he had not paid his poor -rates, which happened from his having tendered a 101. note, in payment, for which he could not then get change. This objection was re moved by his saying, "I am ready to pay it now." It was then only that this formidable objection was made, namely, that the right of vote must be confined within the township, and of which the limits were bounded by this Roman wall. The first pretence they set up was that none could.vote with out they possessed a right of common ; this the !loose of Com mons beat down • and now to serve the interest of tfie Duke of Newcastle, the defendant set up this 'ancient Roman wall, which the Learned Counsel hoped the Jury would also knock down. Thomas Jackson, parish clerk, produced the rate-book, by which it appeared, Mr. Addy, the plaintiff, rented a tenement 91. per annum, assessment 9s. Cross-examined by Mr. RAlNE—could not tell whither Mr. Addy's house was situate within the township of 'Aid- borough, or not. Thomas Addy examined by Mr. TINDALL.—(a sprightly young man), is a linen-drawer near the Boroughbridge; no relation of the Plaintiff. Before the last election took place, , witness was going about the town with Mr. Briant, one of the candidates, and Mr. Addy's son ; they called on Mr. Cass, the Defendant, whom they found at the gate of his fide yard ; Mr. Briant asked him for his will and interest ; Cass replied, he had no vote, being the returning officer. Mr. Briant made a speech in these words :—" I am going to unfurl the standard of independence.V—(Laughter.) Mr. - RAlNE.—Proceed, Mr. Addy. Witness proceeded—" And I hope you will rally beneath it with your support and invigorating influence." Mr. RAINE.—" Your invigorating influence," vastly fine ! proceed Mr. Addy. Chief .1 UST ICE.—Were these the expressions used by Mr. Briant ?—Yes, my Lord, the very expressions. Mr. Cass replied, he was in the interest of the Duke of New castle ; that he had 'a good take under his Grace, and he would support his Grace. Mr. Briant then said, " Will you go all lengths with him and for him ?" Mr. Casa said he would. Mr. Briant said, " Will you go through thick and thin for him ?" Mr. Cass said he would.--(Laughter.)—After we lent Mr. Cass, . Mr. Briant said to me—." There's a pretty specimen!'- (Laughter.)—After this I observed Mr. Cass with the Duke's favours; emblems and colours, a purple card, with the Duke's nominees upon it. Who were the Duke's nominees ?--Mr. Antrobus and Mr. Fines. Mr. RAINE.--Very fine. Now for Mr. Briant's speech.— This took place at the defendant'sfule yard ?-1 7 us. Mr. RAlNE.—Whatdo you mean by yus, can', ycu soy yes? —(Laughter.)—When was it ? A fu' days before the election. Mr. ItaisE.—He speaks so very fine. Did you say afoo days ?—Yns.—(Laughter.) Mr. RAINE.—You have a remarkably fine face and fine ad- . dress. Was this your own address or Mr. Briant's ?—I merely recited his address. Mr. RAIN E.—Pray recite it over again. [Here the witness repeated the same, laying great stress on the words " Your invigorating influence." --(Much laughter.) —What Mr. Cass meant by a good take under the Duke was, I undertood, that he is his Grace's tenant. Mr. RAINE.—You have such a fine voice and " invitariting influence" with you ! You remember how well you counter feited Mr. Sedgwick the surgeon's voice, in going to the house of a lady, a Mrs. Williams, and saying you was Mr. Sedg wick ?—I? I did not counterfeit.—(Laughter.) Did you not make an apology to Mr. Sedgwick for having gone to this lady's house , pretending you was Mr. Sedgwick —I submit I made no ap;ktgy. I made an explanation, but no apology.—(Continued laughter.)—Witness proceeded :—lt was " leat," I looked up at the window ; the lady says, " Who is there ?" I said, perhaps it might be Mr. Sedgwick the surgeon. CniEF-JUSTICE—Don't you know that you are not Mr. Sedgwick ? —Yus, my Lord. Then how came you to say you might be him ? Mr. RAI NE Witness—The cause of my journey to the lady would rot detract from my character. The lady came down stairs 'and said, I think this is not Mr. Sedgwick's face; I said no; my name is Addy. How came you to use the surgeon's name; i.l Sedgwick a better name than Addy ?—Eh ? • • Mr. RAINE—Eh ! Witness.—lt had been circulated, at least it came to my ear, that I was said to have circulated some reports against her cha racter, and I went to make an explanation—no apology. Mr. RAINE.—You say it was light in the evening thelady then must have seen your face out of the window ?—I meant it was feat not light. • Mr. SCARLET T.—You understand Yorkshire. Mr. RAlNE.—Yorkshire !—why Yorkshire would not own such mincing of words as these. Witness proceeded—Report had said something against the lady's character, and I went to set things reet. • Mr. Sedge wick attended her professionally. It was between ten and eleven at night: and the lady admitted me when I said my name was Sedgwick. Mr. SCARLET T.—You acquitted yourself to her satisfaction, I hope ?—Yus.—(Muc'a laughter.) Mr. Cobley, another witnesa, corroborated the former with respect to the dialogue between Mr. Briant and thedefendant, with this difference, that the defendant, instead of saying, he' would support the Duke through thick and thin, nodded assent. Mr. Briant. observed, " a pretty specimen you have given !" Joseph Linfoot lived at Aldborough seventeen years past, had a vote, and has been present at elections. Did not know why people carrie to vote, but they all voted. He did-not know nothing about a common right ; did not know nobody that did not vote, because they had not got a common right. Never had nobody to think about but himself. Did not know nothing about the walls ; nothing more could be seen of them only be neath the ground. Witness does not know whether Butcher close, where the Plaintiff lived, had a vote or no, but witness voted last election for Pringle and Briant, and lived there. William Pybus, 70 years of' age, was constable of Aldbo rough; never heard any distinction made as to the Township being within or without 4ie walls. He mentioned several names of those who lived at Butcher-close that had. voted, Thomas Blackburn, John Harrison, John D'Acre ' arid several others. The practice was to vote by the house-roll; those who had no right of common were not rejected. Mr. Richard Seruteu.—Believes no one was permitted to vote, who had not a right of common at elections. The Vicar of the place had no right of common and therefore did not vote; previous to 1320, did not know of any man voting who had not a right of common, and the rule was, that no one could have a vote, unless he lived within the limits of the old Roman wall. 'Zile foundation of the wall was under ground, nothing could be seen of it above ground ; witness has searched for It, and seen the whole ; he dug the stones from it to pave the town of Borougbridge; it has 4 sides, which still remain under pound, and it encloses the whole township of Aldborough ; witness's house is partly built upon it; Addy's house is one entirely out side the.avall; witness spoke of what had been considered the limits 40r is borough for 50 years. - Chief stice ABBOTT was of opinion, that witness being called for the plaintiff, had put the case out of Court, by prov ing that for 50 years the llepits of this borough had been con fined within these walls. The plaintiff was non-anited. We are happy to learn that the rumoured indisposition of Mr. Baron Woon has been greatly exaefated, and th at no inta ruption of the business of the Circuits apprehended from that cause r as has been reported.
