THE KING. EDINBURGH, AUGUST 28. [Private Letter.] The time of post rendered it impossible to send any other than a mere skeleton account of the masonic procession of yes terday : if your masonic readers wish to have the outline filled, it is as follows : the general order of the procession has been already described : At the Waterloo hotel, it was joined by the Commissioners for the King. The Committee of Contributors, and the Lord Provost, Sheriff, Magistrates and Council, attended by their officers, moved round, and entered the site from the eastern side of the hill. The Duke of Hamilton, acting Grand Master, attended by the Duke of Argyll, Grand Master elect ; the Earl of Rosslyn, officiating as Past Grand Master; William Inglis, Esq. Substitute Grand Master ; J. E. Maconochie, Senior Grand 'Warden ; Hon. General Duff, acting as Junior Grand ' Warden, and the Office-bearers of the Grand Lodge of Scot land, assisted by a number of Provincial Grand Masters. The Grand Lodge having taken the place on the platform prepared for them, and the Commissioners, Magistrates, and Committee of Contributors, being placed on the opposite plat form, his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, as Grand Master, call ed on the band to play the King's Anthem. The Grand Mas ter then stated, that lie came there, at the desire of his Majesty, to lay the foundation of the National Monument of Scotland, and ha was glad to see the Commissioners of the King on the opposite side. The Duke of Atholl said his Majesty had executed a com mission in behalf of the Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Atholl, the Earl of Roseberry, Earl of Hopetoun, Earl of Elgin, Vis count Melville, and Lord Lynedoch, (which his Grace read), and stated, that he was sorry to be obliged to apologize for the absence of the Duke of Montrose, Earl of Hopetoun, and Vis count Melville, who were unavoidably detained. In execution of that commission, he craved of the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Right Worshipful Grand Master Elect, Past Grand Master, the assistance of Grand Wardens, an d B re th ren o f t h e Grand Lodge of Scotland, towards laying the foundation stone of the National Monument—to remain to future ages a monu ment to the memory of those brave men, who had shed their blood in the service of their country. Duke of HAMILTON.—" As we have received his Majesty's authority, it is our duty to proceed with the work." The band played the Portuguese Hymn, which was followed by a most impressive pr a y er f rom th e grand chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Lee, of Canongate. The Grand Treasurer and Secretary pro ceeded to examine and place the bottles, (which were hermeti cally sealed,) containing the coins, newspapers, &c. and other platina plates, in their proper situations; a quantity of saw dust was placed around them to prevent any moisture from injuring them. The whole bed being covered with mortar, the founda tion stone was raised by a crane, and lowered down in its pro per position, the band playing " Great light will shine."— The Senior Warden, by command of the Grand Master, ap plied the square, the Junior 'Warden the plumb line, the Substitute Grand Master the level, and the Grand Master the mallet,—(loud cheering,) —craving a benediction on the work in nearly these words :—" May the Almighty Architect crown the work with his blessing, and may it last as a monument to future ages of the genius of art." The Grand Master th en emptied the cornucopia, containing the corn, and the cups with the wine and oil, on the stone, saying, " May the Almighty grant prosperity to the people, that they may long enjoy peace; long may the people, living under just laws, revere their Sove reign, love their country, and be thankful for their-manifold blessings."—(Loud cheering), and at that moment a signal gun was fired from the Calton, and salutes were fired from the guns on Salisbury Craigs, the Castle, the ships in Leith Roads, and Leith Fort. The Duke of HAMILTON said, that gratified as he was to feel himself called on this occasion to perform a duty which he could have wished had fallen into hands more able,though there could be none more willing, if he looked around to either right or left, he saw none but those, the sight of whom was of itself a gratification. They had now laid the foundation of a struc ture, the model of which had been the admiration of the an cients—which had lasted for ages, and arrested even the unhal lowed band of the barbarian—which had survived the ravages of time, but chiefly fallen under the rapacious assaults of conquerors. 'With reference to the great object of the build ing, he thought there could be but one opinion —namely, that warlike as Scotsmen were in the field, those of Greece could hardly excel them. The site chosen was indeed a for tunate one—it was hallowed ground—it was near the spot where the monument rose to the memory of a hero, who, after having broken and vanquished the combined enemies of his country, died as lie had lived in the arms of victory. He was gratified to find himself in the presence of those whom the King had appointed as his Commissioners, and graced with his name, and in presence of Magistrates of the city, and other high personages. As to the time chosen for this great ceremony, he entirely concurred with them in thinking, that the arrival of the King was an auspicious era—it had united and connected him with Scotland—it gave the King an opportunity of seeing I I Scotchmen as they are, in whom he would find much to admire. It would make the country sensible of the blessing of a consti tutional Monarch, under whose paternal care it was their hap piness to live. His Majesty had had the opportunity of see ing a people who were, he knew, sensible of the advantages secured to them by a free constitution ; and his Majesty had also the opportunity of seeing the real condition of that people, and redressing whatever wrongs (if wrongs they had) belonged to the system under which they lived. Surrounded as he was by the Brethren, assembled in such numbers, and with such anxiety as was manifest on this occasion, it was peculiarly gra tifying to him to have standing beside him the Grand Master Elect, who was to fill his place as Grand Master Mason, of one of whose ancestors the pages of history bore honourable record. (This allusion to the Duke of Argyll was loudly applauded.)— To the provincial masters and office-bearers of the Grand Lodge, and the masonic brethren in general, he returned his warmest thanks.—Three cheers were given in honour of the Grand Master, and were re-echoed by the crowds assembled. ' The Duke of ATHOL, in the name of the King, returned thanks to the Grand Master, Grand Wardens and Master Masons, and worthy Brethren, for their attention. His Grace said, he could not express himself better than by reading the preamble of the Act of Parliament incorporating the contri butors, of which his Majesty was the Patron ; which was done by his Grace. " Whereas it is expedient that a monument should be erected in Scotland, in testimony of national gratitude to Almighty God, for the signal successes of the British arms, by sea and land, in the late eventful war; to per petuate the memory of those brave men whose exertions contributed to the glorious result of that arduous and nio Imentous contest, and to act as an incentive to others, hereafter, to emulate their example in maintaining the ho nour and promoting the welfare of their country;" and con cluded by stating, that two remarkable events were connected with this great undertaking—the ground was broke on the day of the anniversary of his Majesty's birth ; and this day the stone was laid, it being the anniversary of the abolition of Christian slavery; for on this day, the fleet under the com mand of Lord Exmouth had laid low the walls of Algiers, and set the captives free—" Rule Britannia." The procession left the ground in reverse order, the bre thren halting opposite the Waterloo-hotel, and having opened out to allow the Commissioners, the Committee, the Provost and Magistrates, Sheriff and Constables, to pass between the lines, and enter the hotel, the Lodges, with the Grand Lodge in the rear, proceeded to Freemasons'-hall, where the Grand Lodge, Masters and Wardens of the different Lodges, entered. The chair was taken by the Duke of Hamilton. Brothers J. Maconochie and Muir, Master of St. Mary's Chapel, officiated as Wardens. His Grace was supported by the Duke of Argyll, Grand Master Elect, on the right; the Earl of Rosslyn on the left; by Sir John Majoribanks, Lord Archibald Hamilton, &c. Before proceeding to close the Grand Lodge, the Duke of Hamilton returned his wannest thanks to his noble friends, ar t il to the brethren in general, for their at tendance ; he expressed his regret that it had not been in his power to see them oftener; lie regretted this, as nothing gave him greater pleasure than to have an opportunity of meeting them. His Grace referred to the institution of a Masonic Charity School, and pledged himself to afford it e v er y ass i s t ance i n hi s power . H e concluded, by again thanking the brethren for their kind attendance. Last night the King honoured the Theatre with his presence. In the middle of the day the doors were besieged by appli. cants for admission ; but the doors were not opened much before the regular hour; the crush was then tremendous. The King arrived at the Theatre a few minutes after 8 o'clock, and was conducted to his box by Mr. Murray, the Manager. The loud est acclamations hailed the King's arrival. :The company rose, and the gentlemen stood with their heads uncovered. His Ma jesty, who was dressed in a military uniform, was accompanied by the Dukes of Montro se , Ar g yll, an d D orset , the Marquis of Winchester, Earls Cathcart and Errol, Lords Glenlyon and Bentinck, and several of his Majesty's Equerries and Household. The orchestra and the whole of the performers immediately struck up the anthem of God save the King, (which was also repeated at the end of the performance.) Ibis Majesty seemed to pay great attention to the performance, parts of which he repeatedly applauded, and particularly Mrs. H. Siddons, in the character of Diana Vernon, and also the songs of Mr. Huckel. The King laughed heartily at some of the peculiarities of Baillie Nichol Jarvie, (Mr. Mackay.) Lord Lynedoch and several other Peers were cheered as they entered their respective boxes. Soon after ten o'clock the performance concluded. A scramble then took place, as his Majesty was withdrawing, for the satin bill which was provided for the King. Lord V. Conyngham, however, seized it and presented it to a Lady in the adjoining box, who was en gaged in the previous unequal struggle of endeavouring to ob tain it. Some confusion took place on the departure of the com pany from the theatre, from the man ner i n w hi c h t h e d ragoons were placed, whi c h blocked up the access of the ladies to their carriages. It is said that the ICing is this day engaged in pay ing private visits, and will probably (in cog.) visit Edinburgh. To-morrow he will honour the Earl of Hopetoun with his com pany at a dejeund a la fourchette, where the principal Nobility will be entertained under marquees on the lawn. His Ma jesty will then embark at the Queensferry, on board the Royal yacht ; but will not, it is said, sail down the Frith of Forth until Friday morning. , .... 7., - :14,•-• • • , • _ 11l to f & tr.:-.. ), ~''' Av. ro- ....*- • .

JUDGE JEFFERYS.—At a contested election for a Member to serve in Parliament for the town of Arundel, in Sussex, Government strenuously interfered, and that so openly as to send down Jefferys, then Lord Chancellor, with instruc tions to use every method to procure the return of the Court candidate. On the day of election, in order to intimidate the electors, he placed himself on the hustings close by the re turning officer, the Mayor, who had been an attorney, but was retired from business, with an ample fortune and fair character ; he well knew the Chancellor ; but for prudenti: 1 reasons, acted as if he was a stranger both to his person and rank. In the course of the poll, that Magistrate, who scru tinized every man before he admitted him to vote, rejected one of the Court party ; at which Jefferys rising in a heat, after several indecent reflections, declared the man should poll, adding " I am the Lord Chancellor of this Realm. 'The Mayor, regarding him with a look of the highest con tempt, replied in these words :—" Your ungentlemanlike behaviour convinces me it is impossible you should be the person you pretend ; were you the Chancellor, you would know that you have nothing to do here, where I alone pre side ;" then turning to the crier, " O ffi cer," said he, " turn that fellow out of the Court." His commands were obeyed without hesitation, and the Chancellor retired to his inn, in great confusion, and the election terminated in favour of the popular candidate. In the evening, the Mayor, to his great surprise, received a message from Jefferys, desiring the favour of his company at the inn ; which he declining, the Chancellor came to his house, and being introduced to him, made the following compliment :-- 4 Sir, notwithstand ing we are in different interests, I cann o t help revering one who so well knows, and dares so nobly execute the law, and though I myself was somewhat degraded thereby, you did but your duty. You, as I have learned, are independent ; but you may have some relation who is not so well provided for ; if you have, let me have the pleasure of presenting him with a considerable place in my gift, just now v acan t.' S uc h an offer, and so handsom e ly made, could not fail of drawing the acknowledgments of the party to whom it was made. Ile having a nephew in no very affluent circumstances, named him to the Chancellor, who immediately signed the necessary instrument for his appointment to a very lucrative and honour able employment. The Marquis of CONYNGHAM has proceeded to Mount-Charles, county Donegal. It is supposed the Marquis, Marchioness, and family would spend the remainder of the summer at Slane Castle. OXFORD, AUG. 30.—At a private Ordination by the Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Gloucester, the following Gentlemen were admitted to Holy Orders :—Deacon : Wm. John Rayner, A.B. Pembroke Coll ege , O x f or d.—P r i ests : F. Wilkinson, .C.L. Magdalen Hall, Oxford ; Wm. B. Lewis B.A. of Trinity College, D u bli n . , On Thursday last, the Rev. Gostwick Prideaux, A. 8., was licensed by the Lord Bishop of this Diocese, to the perpetual Cure of Boyton, in Cornwall, on his own petition as true Pa tron, void by the death of the Rev. John Norton. Also, the Rev. John Comins, A. 8., was instituted to the Rectory of Rackenford, in Devon, on th e presentat i on o f Wm. Corning, Gent., void by his own c es si on . F r id ay, t h e R ev. J o h n Nolan, A. 8., was licensed by his Lordship to the perpetual cure of Torpoint, in the county of Cornwall, on the nomination of the Rev. Duke Yonge, jun., void by the resignation of the Rev. James Yonge.—(Exeter Paper.) A letter from Edinburgh says—" An aged female, who rents a garret in High-street, at 51. per annum, has actually let her two windows, during the procession of his Ma jesty from llolyrood P a l ace to th e C ast l e , at t h e enormous sum of 251. each !" The returns of the British Plantations : Su gars and Rum imported into London, Liverpool, Bristol,Clyde, anti Leith, frcm the Ist January, 1822, to the 17th August, are 0,240 hogsheads of S ugar , an d 24,947 punc h eons o f Rum less than were imported into these ports between the corresponding dates of the previous year. A few days ago the wife of an innkeeper at Caistor, who is the mother of five children, actually sold the youngest of them, an infant about three months old, for a damask silk shawl, of the value of 205., to a licensed hawker of drapery goods, &c. who accidentally called for refreshment. The man took away the child, and hastened on his journey, apparently well pleased with the disgraceful contract ! A few hours afterwards, the occurrence being gene rally known throughout the town, the neigh hours were not sparing in uttering vehe ment and deserved reproaches for the con duct of the unnatural parent, which compelled her to attempt the recovery of the hapless infant. For this purpose, accompanied by two female friends, she set oat, and succeeded in finding the child at a house in Grassby, a village about three miles on the Brigg road, where the man had left it, the child having become exces sively troublesome, from the want of its accus tomed nourishment. The party returned safe home with the child at one o'clock next morning. POETRY. THE SEPTEMBER SABBATH. To-morrow is a day of rest, The Sabbath of - September ' • Ye Sportsmen, keep th e High Behest, And Gon's own Day remember. Oh ! then " the Game of Death" forbear, And give to Heav'n its due ; Let the poor partridge share Creation's rest with you. At least let one more cheering sun Shine on the tender brood ; Touch not awhile th' unhallow'd gun, Nor seek the Field of Blood. Thus shall to-morrow's sacred morn Protect the short-liv'd race, While ev'ry feather'd sister born Shall hail the Day of Grace.. Too soon are thousands doom'd to die, And widow'd mates to grieve ; Where's then the heart that dares deny The Sabbath's short reprieve GREECE. Fierce and fell the contest burneth Over sea and over land Greece the chains of ages spurneth— Greece hath drawn a sheathless brand. Welcome, Freedom tho' thy birth With a whirlwind shake the earth ; Welcome, tho' thy lovely form Dawn thro' shrouding gloom and storm. O'er each old Hellenian mountain, Where thy dwelling was of yore, O'er each classic. hill and fountain Sounds thy hallow'd name once more. Welcome—tho' the cannon peal, Ringing blade and clashing steel, And the battle-shout on high Echo back the glorious cry. O'er the azure waters laving The .tE,..irean thousand isl es , Thy red flag is proudly waving, Lighted now by victory's smiles. Who would be a slave again Once when o'er the bounding main Like his feelings wild and free, He has fought and bled for thee ? Tho' the Empregs of the ocean— Who should lead thy battle's van, Coldly see our lives' devotion For the dearest rights of man. Ne'er again these Isles shall gem Turkey's tyrant diadem • All like Scio fir s t s h a ll be, Ruin'd—desolate—or free ! THE CAPTIVE LARK. Sweet bird ! it grieves my very heart To hear thy notes of joyous thrill, And find thee here a prisoner Against thy will. A tuft of wither'd grass alone To recompence the breezy lawn ; A city ! foggy atmosphere, For Phoebus' dawn. I cannot bear to see thee thrust Through prison's bar thy:crested head, And hopeless run from side to side With dodging tread. Th' luxury of song was given k or welkin wide add dewy heath, Where spring leaves on the snow-white thorn, Her blush and breath. When nature sought with grateful heart, For all her realm a wing, a voice, To soar with matin song to Heaven, Thou wert her choice. The c,arleless breeze that hovers round With, nought to chain its wandering, Alone could match, if thou wert free, Thy sportive wing. And shaken by thy Heaven-ward flight, When trembling hare-bells weep with dew, That voice of rapture scarce betrays That wing to view. POOR EMERY.—The anxious feeling in favour of this distressed family; we are happy to hear, does not sub side ; this is a demonstrative proof that this case is not viewed by the Public as an ordinary one. Indeed so much is combined in this unfortunate affair to give it unusual interest, that we contemplate a considerable addition will yet be made to this praise-worthy subscription: Since the last report, Mr. 11 o- BINS intimated yesterday to the Committee a munificent dc nation from the fair hands of Lady CHARLOTTE DENTS. no less a sum than thirty-five pounds, which she collected from a few of her tradespeople, besides a handsome present from herself ; he had also the gratification of adding that he had re ceived a letter from Mr. LA MBTON, M.P., informing him that a subscription is going on at Sunderland, to which he has liberally contributed, and from which 1001, may be counted upon.-- Mr. R. was delighted to say, that Lady DERBY had generously contributed 101. The Duke of MoNTRosE had enclosed him ten guineas from Edinburgh—this was the more gratifying, as it would easily be conceived how much his Grace's time has been occupied with his MAJESTY in Scotland, and a corrobo rative proof of the increasing interest the public are taking to Bprotect from absolute w a nt th e f am il y o f poor EMERY. Mr. ETTY, the young Roscius, has enclosedfd. Mr. RuI,IDE rd. of Ludgate-hill, 10L—The Committ ee w ill not continue their' labours after Monday, but Subscriptions will be most thank fully received and acknowledged, at Mr. ROBINS'S Offices, Piazza, throughout the month of Septnnbcr, when it will he finally closed, and a report of the whole laid before the public. TRANSFERS OF MORTGAGES.—As it may act be generally known that a considerable reduo. tion has been made in the rate of Stamp Duties on Transfers of Mortgages,we beg to refer our readers to an Act 3d Geo. IV. c. 117, passed at the close of the last Session, by which the ad valorem duties upon Transfers, &c. of Mortgages are in certain cases repealed ; and in lieu thereof it is enacted, that upon all Transfers, &c. where no further sum of money or stock shall be advanced, the Stamp Duty in Great Britain shall be 1/. 155., and in Ireland 1/. British currency ; and that where any further sum of money or stock shall be added, the ad valorem duty shall be charged only in respect of such further SLIM of money or stock. At the Assizes for the county of Cork 2 on the 22d instant Daniel Singleton and John Lynch were arraigned for the murder of Hugh Colligan, in the barbarous attack on durchtown Barracks, on the 31st of January, by the insurgents. Both prisoners were acquitted. On Wednesday morning Catherine Black ! man, servant in the family of Mr. James Duncan, of St. Mary Axe, was sent by her master to Woolwich, at which place Mrs. Duncan her mistress was on a visit, and about half past seven in the evening she left for London, her mistress giving her eighteenpence to pay her fare' by the Greenwich stage. On the road. between Woolwich and the place from whence she intended to take the coach, she was accosted two or three times by a fellow in a waterman's dress, who inquired if she was.bound for London. To this she made no answer, but quickened her pace ; the fellow still followed her, and on reach ing a very lonely part of the road, he seized her by the arms, and with considerable violence dragged her down a dark lane, where he threw her down, and placed his knee upon her chest; he then drew from his pocket a knife, and having opened it, he, with horrid imprecations, declared he would sever her head from her body unless she instantly delivered over to him all the money she had. The poor girl implored him not to kill her, and called loudly for assistance, and then the villain began de liberately to untie her bonnet, and applied the knife to her throat, but on her giving him the Is. 6d. she had to pay her coach hire, he relinquished his diabolical purpose, but was going to proceed to other acts of violence, when a gentleman, who heard the poor girl's screams, came towards the spot ; opon which the ruffian made a precipitatelretreat, and although an in stant outcry an d pursuit took, place, he effected hi s esca p e . Th e gentleman conucted the poor girl to the coach, and humanely paid her fare to London. Yesterday information of the affair was given at Union-Hall-Office, and, from the description given of the villain, there is reason to expect that he will soon be brought to justice, as Hall, the chief officer of the establish men; has some clue where to find him.

THE ANCIENT VESSEL DISCOVERED IN THE ROTILER. —A large assemblage of persons, calculated at 3,000 in num ber, were present on Tuesday last to witness the floating of this vessel on its proper element, when it was removed into the main channel of the Rother, to the distance of about a quarter of a mile towards Rye. On the 21st instant (says our cor respondent) " they (the workmen) found that morning a piece of coin about the size of a half-crown, and a shoe or sandal, with a last still remaining in it; the latter in a very perished state." We shall be glad to be favoured with the inscription, if any, on the coin, as that will probably determine more to wards ascertaining the date of the loss of the vessel than ,any thing that has yet been discovered. Such, however, is the in terest excited by this singular antique, that among numerous other persons of note, the Dutch Ambassador, or his brother, has thought it of moment to inspect it. Among the remains of animals found on board, we omitted to notice that of the breast-bone of a goose, perfect, and of a size more than saf. ficiently large to gratify an epicure of the present day.—, ( Kentish Gerzette.)

PElRFonuaxcE.—The4lecision of thisgrow undertaking took place on Monday, the 1411 i of August —Lord, EF.NNEDY had taken 40 to I,' in fifties, that he would, one day of the se a so n 1822, f rom 12 o ' e l oe k - of one night, to 12 o'clock the following night, kill forty brace of grouse, on his shooting ground, at Felar, at the head of Aberdeenshire; and afterwards ride to his seat at Dunnotter and back to F e l ar ; a distance of 140 miles. Exactly a t 12 o'clock on Sunday night, - three watches were set together and put into a box by the Um. pines, Turner, Esq. on the part of Mr. Farquharson, and . ' Capt. Barclay, on the part of Lord Kennedy ; Mr. Cumming, referee. At four in the morning Lord Kennedy commenced . shooting, attended by a great body of Highlanders, drawn to. gether from curiosity. A great deal of rain had fallen in the night, which made the hills very wet,. and the birds wild. The first bird was killed a quarter after four, and the whole forty brace in four hours and forty-one minutes. After shift. ing his wet clothes and taking some refreshment, he mounted hi s horse and st ar t e d f or D unnotter, w h ere he arrived at two oclock, having rode seventy miles in four hours and a half.— He remained about an hour there, and got back to Felar four minutes before eight o'clock at night, performing the 140 miles in ten hours and twenty-six minutes : and winning the match by four hours and four minutes. The whole was done, shoot ing, riding, &c. in fifteen hours and fifty-six minutes. He re turned to Castletown that night, a distance of fourteen miles, by ten o'clock ; making the whole distance on horseback 154 miles. This is the greatest feat of exertion on record, and Lord Kennedy challenges any man in the kingdom to shoot against him for a thousand guineas, at any thin g th a t fli es , e i t h er w i t h ball or shot. his Lordship did not appear the least fatigued. Every thing was against him ; the grouse are uncommon strong and forward this season : the road is any thing but good, the first four miles a mere mountain sheep tract; and. the remainder very hard and stony, with numerous short sharp hills. AQUATIC EXPEDITION. Yesterday a vast numb rr of persons were attracted upun. Waterloo, Bla.:kfriars, and London Bridges, to witness the expertness and velocity with which a Gentleman, named SCHEFFER, swam down the River with a machine which he has invented to save persons in case of shipwreck. He passed through London Bridge with such swiftness, that the boats could not possibly keep up with him. He had a white•dreris on, with a cap on his head, and lay upon the water with the most perfect ease. When the KING lands at Greenwich, the Gentleman will exhibit Lefore the royal yacht. GREAT CRICKET MATCH - , AND DREADFUL. ACCIDENT AT DARNAL. (From the Shefield Advertiser of Aug 27.1 The great cricket match between 15 Sheffield and 11 Notting ham players, for which great preparations have latterly been making on the new ground at Dania', near this place, com menced yesterday forenoon. The contest having excited a pecu liar interest in and around the town, the concourse of spectators was proportionately great ; never, perhaps, on any occasion, were witnessed an assemblage at once so numerous and respect. able. Sheffield seemed almost to pour out the principal part of its population, the roads being literally covered all the morning with crowds hastening to the scene of the expected enjoyment. Little was it then suspected that before the expiration of the day the pleasure of it was to be dashed by one of the most afflicting accidents that we have had to record for some time back. The playing commenced ; the weather, with the exception of one shower, was highly favourable, and all went on well till about 4 o'clock, when a large extent of scaffolding, which had been fitted up on the ground near the road-side, for the accommoda- • tion of several thousands of spectators, having 9 tier of seats, and being near 40 yds long, suddenly gave way, and precipitated its unfortunate tenants one over the other on the ground.— Shrieks, screams, and groans rent the air on all sides and the scene of confusion whi c h ensue d was indescribably affecting.— Every hand was instantly engaged in extricating the sufferers; every possible accommodation offered, and every vehicle put iu requisition to convey them away to their respective homes. It is with painful feelings that we have to add that two persons were killed upon the spot, and between 40 and 50 more or less maimed. We dare not vouch for our correctness, although we have endeavoured to gain the best information we were able; but amidst so much distressing confusion; the extent of the, mischief cannot with a cc urac y b e yet ascertaine d , and even the names of the parties we could not procure. Late last ni g ht 23 cases had been admitted to the Infirmary, four or five of which were pronounced very dangerous. A detachment of the tuffs is ordered to embark at Dept.. ford, on the 2d of September, on board the Morley convict ship, as a guard over the convicts that are destined for Vao Dieman's Land. 'KET.
